Under Aria's guidance, Red Robin quickly found a way to "log out" of this body - he found the wedge in Aria's sea of ​​consciousness. This small wooden object was like a black star, particularly eye-catching in the entire fluorescent blue ocean.

"You just need to pull out the 'anchor point'." Aria used Red Robin's body, inexplicably confident that whatever she said made sense. "As for what happens next... Honestly, I can't describe it to you in detail."

The farmer showed a rare hint of shyness, but it was a bit creepy when it appeared on Red Robin's face. "After all, even a talented player like me has never encountered such trouble before, haha..."

Got it, that means I'm totally unsure.

Red Robin was accustomed to this kind of situation. In fact, even if the farmer told him that the journey was a dead end, he would still give it a try in order to put the world back on track.

But "Tim Drake" immediately squeezed his shoulder again.

"But I can promise you! I will definitely bring you back alive!"

It was only after the body swap that Red Robin fully understood why Clayface's disguise always ended in failure - Aria's little expression was really eye-catching. Even after changing her body, she could still exude a mysterious temperament of "believe in me" while wearing Red Robin's mask.

"good."

Tim Drake had already touched upon a wedge in his sea of ​​consciousness. As if realizing something, he suddenly asked, "What happens to your body when you 'log out'?"

"Probably just an ordinary death?" To be honest, Aria herself had never seen her own death from a third-person perspective, but probably, maybe, it wouldn't be particularly bad, right?

So Derek breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, I understand."

The detective returned to his familiar commanding style: "Now, Aria, turn around."

The farmer guessed his purpose. Red Robin was so considerate sometimes that it was scary. He was preventing Aria from seeing her own body die, even though it was just a trivial part of the adventure for her. He once again firmly placed himself in the position of protector.

“…”

Red Robin turned his back to her and grabbed the black star from his sea of ​​consciousness.

His consciousness disconnected, Tim Drake was temporarily captured by darkness.

It turns out that the body she molded out was so light. This was the first thought that came to Aria's mind when she turned around and caught her own body.

The second thought that came to my mind was that it was indeed a bit strange to accept that I was constantly "dying".

But isn't that part of the game? Death isn't the end, it's a series of trials and errors. As long as she has enough opportunities, Aria can forge a path to a perfect ending through exhaustive attempts.

The only flaw in the whole thing was that innocent NPCs were involved.

…She made Red Robin bear the consequences of his wrong choices.

"Red Robin" was pacing around "Aria" anxiously. She glanced at Kara. The Kryptonian girl raised her head slightly and looked back at Aria, always looking at her with trust.

What is this? This is a heavy trust! AAA agricultural and sideline products distributor, you must cheer up and must not let Mr. Qi continue to do evil.

"Red Robin" stood up, and the sunlight shone from behind her body, almost penetrating her.

"We can't just sit there and wait for death." The farmer took a breath: "Kara..."

The Kryptonian girl responded, but her eyes suddenly became alert. She stood up and protected "Red Robin" behind her.

Super hearing gives Kryptonians unparalleled reconnaissance capabilities, but it also leaves Kara confused.

The translator still faithfully performed its function: "...I heard the sound of something breaking."

The alien language, translated by the machine, was always filled with a strange inorganic feeling. Aria looked up at the sky and felt that something was about to fall from the sky.

If it was a meteorite, she could still hope that it was the system's self-correction and justice from heaven that would kill Lei Xiaogu, but judging from Kara's expression, it was more likely that it would not be a good thing.

Could it be that Lei Xiaogu changed the rules again and came to find them with a group of flying guys?

The farmer was in deep thought. He picked up the Galaxy Sword that had been thrown aside by the three people and stuffed it into Kara's hands.

"This is the most powerful weapon in this version of the game," she said, using Red Robin's body, her mind feeling much more flexible. "My physical coordination and combat skills aren't yet good enough to unleash its full power, so I'm giving it to you."

The crashing sounds continued, and the opponent seemed to be smashing invisible objects layer by layer. This time, even Aria heard a muffled thunder-like sound coming from far above.

Red Robin frowned, and she began to prepare for the worst-case scenario in the game. "If the next person to arrive is Reshgu's men, we must first ensure the survival of Red Robin's body, and then ensure that Reshgu doesn't gain control of Aria."

"If it really comes to the last resort," Aria proposed that cruel scenario: "You will be responsible for destroying 'Aria', and I will try to give up control of 'Red Robin'. You take him to Gotham to find Batman and ask him to find a way to bring Red Robin back from there."

The farmer spoke lightly, using some playful words, but Kara keenly sensed the key point.

"And your soul?"

The cracking sound grew closer. The farmer looked up at the sky and was in the mood to joke, "Don't make up stories about things that don't exist."

"..." Kara estimated the speed at which the other party was flying towards them. From Mach 10 to now, retreat had become the least possible option.

The only choice they have is to confront this "unknown anomaly" head-on.

Kara El was destined to become a scientist from the beginning, but Rao messed up everything with his humor, forcing her to take up weapons again and again to try to do something to protect others.

It turns out that Rao's humor doesn't stop there.

"Rao."

Fire fell from the sky, and the air it brought was filled with the smell of burning caused by excessive friction and heat.

Red invaded their sight. Rather than an invader, he was more like a gust of wind that would never be stopped by the trees. He picked up Aria's body faster than the two could have imagined... According to medical definitions, it was Aria's corpse. After all, a body whose consciousness was forcibly withdrawn was no different from a dead body.

Kal-El even held his breath, fearing that a little breath would make him misjudge the other person's life or death.

His super hearing told him over and over again that the heart of the person in front of him had completely stopped beating, but a stubborn voice kept ringing in Kal-El's heart - Aria would not leave like this. She had so many ways and so many magical tools. It didn't make sense for her to die in such an ordinary time in an unknown desert.

...But, really?

Even Superman has had several moments of near-death, and Kal-El himself cannot be sure that he can escape unscathed from every mission.

The farmer leaned against his chest. It was rare for her to be so quiet, and Clark Kent couldn't get used to it at all.

More sadness came, making the extremely strong Kryptonian heart feel heavy. Perhaps from the first time they met, those green Kryptonite fragments had been lying in ambush in his heart, just waiting for the moment to be shattered.

Red Robin looked a little bewildered: "I think I can explain."

Of course, everyone has their own reasons, and the farmer has a million reasons to help them. Whether it's Clark Kent or Kal-El, he always lacks a position to persuade them.

But at least those present should care.

Kal-El held Aria for a long time before finally finding the strength to say the next sentence: "Red Robin, I think, whatever her mission was, it's over now..."

The Son of the Sun finally shifted his gaze from the corpse to the others: "Perhaps Smallville needs Aria more now... Aria?"

————————

I would like to say sorry to everyone who has been waiting for a long time for my disappearance and non-update during this period.

I may have written too little. I originally just wanted to tell a happy story, but the situation was very different from what I thought. Whether it was my own writing ability or what happened in my current life, I felt a little overwhelmed. So I shamelessly avoided it during this period. I'm sorry everyone.

I like Aria, even though I didn't create her perfectly, I also know that completion is more important than perfection. As an author, I am not qualified, so I can accept whatever people say.

I will finish writing this article. I will send more red envelopes for the previous chapter and the following chapters. Sorry.
