The elevator stopped on the 20th basement level.

Cen Yu was led by Ryan into the bathhouse... His clothes did indeed smell of a dead rat. When Cen Yu entered the bathhouse, he saw that a change of clothes had already been laid out on a table.

Ryan then took off his blood-stained gray suit right in front of him and threw it aside along with his shirt.

Then he picked up a gray suit and shirt of the same style and put them on again.

“Thirty minutes,” Ryan said. “That should be enough time.”

He looked at Cen Yu and smiled again, "If it's more than a minute... your ex-boyfriend will probably lose a wing."

"Don't keep the guests in box 001 waiting too long." After saying that, he left the bathhouse, leaving Cen Yu alone in the huge bathhouse.

Cen Yu threw his blood-stained, dirty clothes, which reeked of dead rats, aside.

Near the counter where the clean clothes were placed, there happened to be a mirror. Because the bathtub and the changing area were some distance apart, Cen Yu could clearly see herself in the mirror.

Of course, you can also clearly see your own tattoos, and...

Cen Yu tilted his head and touched the scar on his neck, a mark from when something was dug out of his body.

"What is this?" Cen Yu asked the system in his head, touching the scar on his neck.

Perhaps the fat cat found the background information too troublesome to explain, so it simply passed all the background information to Cen Yu.

"...So, the people in the Fallen Zone were originally servants of the nobles in the Digital Zone?" Cen Yu found this setting hard to understand. "Runaway servants?" Calling them servants was a bit of a stretch, as they were practically slaves.

Any danger in the wilderness requires these servants to test it out.

Those servants who could not tolerate this would secretly escape while exploring the wilderness... and then enter the Corrupted Zone, where mutations and unknown dungeons spread the most.

They probably felt that it wasn't worth venturing into the Corrupted Zone to capture the escaped servants, so over time the Corrupted Zone became their gathering place.

The scars on his neck were left when the chip was removed from his body.

"What did they mean by that?" Cen Yu looked at the system and said that he and the protagonist were playing a Platonic game.

The fat cat hesitated for a moment, but eventually passed the information to Cen Yu as well.

Cen Yu glanced at it...

It only says that it's to prevent the population of the corrupted areas from increasing and to prevent the emergence of more mutant species.

Therefore, with approval, a batch of harmless drugs appeared near the Corruption Zone. Their function was to make people detach from worldly desires and fundamentally solve the problem of overpopulation in the Corruption Zone.

Cen Yu: "..."

The Corrupted Zone is not only infested with mutated creatures, but also with countless randomly appearing mini-dungeons. Coupled with the lack of clean water, it is extremely unsuitable for habitation.

Aside from those too weak to leave the Corruption Zone, the remaining residents either became warriors within the tower or lackeys of the Digital Zone.

"Knock knock".

A frantic knocking sounded outside the bathhouse.

"Ten minutes left," Ryan's voice rang out from outside the door.

“Remember to clean under your nails,” Ryan continued. “The guests in Box 001 are very picky.”

Cen Yu cursed under his breath and rushed into the bathhouse to scrub himself thoroughly... Finally, just before Ryan's countdown ended, he pushed open the bathhouse door.

“Alright.” Cen Yu looked at Ryan.

Ryan looked down at Cen Yu in front of him.

The other person was wearing a pure white robe and matching trousers—this was at the request of the guest in VIP room 001, who liked white and disliked anything unclean.

Perhaps because of the rush, Cen Yu's scrubbing motions were too rough, and his neck and exposed skin were scrubbed until they turned red, and his hair was dripping wet.

Ryan looked at him for a while, then pushed his shoulder and led him back into the bathhouse.

He found a hairdryer and dried Cen Yu's hair...

"Where do you want to take your little boyfriend?" Ryan asked amidst the whirring of the hairdryer, his fingertips lightly brushing against Cen Yu's scalp. "His wings are quite noticeable."

Cen Yu didn't say anything.

He remembered that in the original work, after saving the protagonist, he took him to District One.

The tower is just too far from Zone 1... Although a buyer has been contacted and he has been granted a permit to enter Zone 1, just getting to the edge of the digital zone requires crossing the wilderness.

It was around that time that they met the protagonist from the original work.

A hunter squad traversing the wilderness.

The main responsibility is to collect items that can increase strength in various small dungeons, as well as to find usable resources.

Perhaps seeing how pitiful Cen Yu and the protagonist were, the protagonist's team agreed to let them join... on the condition that they also join the battle.

The protagonist's healing abilities also begin to emerge at this time.

Although the wings could not be retracted into the body, people in the wilderness were used to wearing cloaks when going out, so the protagonist disguised himself as a hunchbacked mutant man.

If the cloak hadn't accidentally fallen off later, the team members would never have known that the other person was actually a mutated "angel".

It was at this time that the protagonist discovered the original owner's communication with the nobles of District 1... Unable to stand it any longer, the protagonist simply exposed the original owner's "crimes".

“I heard that a nobleman in District One has taken a liking to an angel.” Ryan touched Cen Yu’s half-dry hair. “And someone has already taken the order.”

He looked meaningfully at Cen Yu in the mirror, "Is that you?"
