When Ninomiya Riki saw Su Deng talking to a man and then about to chase after him with Su Muye, she paused slightly and stopped them, asking, "Do you know that man?"

Su Muye kept his mouth shut and didn't say anything. He couldn't disrupt his mother's game mission, and he certainly couldn't say that it was his father.

Su Deng pursed her lips. "One..." She paused, "...a friend."

Even if Yan Sizhan is Su Muye's father, that's still the future.

Nothing has happened between them yet.

They can only be considered friends.

Su Deng habitually asked Tsunomiya Riki, "Do you know who he is?"

Riki Tsunomiya looked at the figure walking slowly through the crowd. "Judging from his clothes and the jade pendant he's wearing, he should be a samurai from Muromachi..."

Su Deng paused, "Muromachi samurai?"

Riki Tsunomiya nodded, her brows furrowed deeply. "But the Muromachi Shogunate was driven out and destroyed more than a hundred years ago. How could there still be samurai in Muromachi?"

That's one thing, but they even dared to brazenly bring Muromachi-style clothing and accessories to hold this kind of fireworks festival.

It's impossible that someone in later generations would counterfeit it, because no one would dare to.

"I understand!" Riki Jinomiya exclaimed in shock. "He's not human..."

"You're not human..." Su Muye muttered softly.

Su Deng didn't quite understand what she meant, but she didn't believe that Yan Sizhan was a samurai of the Muromachi Shogunate of this country.

According to what Ares and Fu Jin said, and the order of the Divine Court executors, Cinomiya Riki was ranked 12th, and Yan Sizhan was ranked 8th, ahead of Cinomiya Riki.

Regardless of what point in the real world this game instance is set in, Yan Sizhan is now an executive officer of the Divine Court, not a samurai of the Shogunate!

Su Deng looked calmly at Tsunomiya Riki, "What do you think he is?"

“It doesn’t seem like a monster either…” Riki Jimiya’s brow furrowed even more. “Could it be a spirit possessing a dead person…”

She had never encountered a situation like this before.

She said to Su Deng, "I can sense that this person is dangerous, Chunzi, you'd better stay away from him."

"I know what I'm doing." Su Deng smiled and said to her, "When Taozi comes down later, you can go back with her. You don't need to wait for me."

“But Haruko…” Before Tsunomiya Riki could say anything, Su Deng had already led Su Muye through the crowd.

The fireworks display had ended, and the number of people at the event was gradually decreasing.

Yan Sizhan walked through the crowd and reached the highest point of Sakurajima Mountain.

He had always known someone was following him, and only now did he turn around, his voice icy, "Why have you been following me?"

Su Deng pushed the mask up to her head, revealing her striking features. "You really don't recognize me?"

She asked that question just now too.

Yan Sizhan's gaze was fixed on her face. After a long time, when the world seemed to become quiet and only the two of them remained, he finally spoke: "Have I seen you somewhere before?"

When she was in the mental hospital, the first thing the BOSS NPC clone left behind by Yan Sizhan said to her was this sentence.

And then, out of nowhere, he awkwardly proposed to her.

At first, she unilaterally thought that he was a complete lunatic.

But as she navigated through each game instance along the way, she gradually realized that those were Yan Sizhan's own extremely profound memories.

Ares said he has been waiting for someone in the game world.

Regardless of whether that person was her or not, her kiss broke his seal, so that person could only be her.

Su Deng felt that the entire game world and the Divine Court were full of lunatics.

But with Su Muye's appearance, he acknowledged that Yan Sizhan was his father...

She began to wonder what the connection was between herself and Yan Sizhan, the executor of the Divine Court.

“We…” Su Deng pursed her lips, looking at him with deep eyes, “have met before.”

Yan Sizhan nodded. "I have other things to do."

After saying that, he walked directly to the edge of the cliff and jumped off.

Su Muyue exclaimed and ran over to look down. Under the moonlight, all he could see was the waves crashing on the beach at the foot of the ten-meter-high mountain, but no sign of Yan Sizhan.

Su Deng also stepped forward and looked down, her brows furrowing slightly.

"Mom..." Su Muyue asked Su Deng in a low voice, "What should we do?"

Su Deng lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's go down too."

If this Yan Sizhan is indeed the Yan Sizhan from the past timeline, he should be carrying out a mission for the Divine Court in this game instance.

Of course, it's possible that her guess was wrong; this Yan Sizhan might have been killed in her previous instance and then brought to this instance by the God Lord to work as an NPC.

Regardless of which guess it is, to Su Deng, he is Yan Sizhan.

Su Deng picked up Su Muye and jumped down from there.

Below is a soft sandy beach, surrounded by the sea on three sides, with walls and mountains behind it. In front, about a hundred meters across the sea, lies the mountain where the Wushan Shrine is located.

There was no one there.

Yan Sizhan disappeared after jumping down.

Su Muye asked, "Could there be some kind of virtual space?"

It's unlikely.

Su Deng checked the wall but found nothing unusual.

Wherever Yan Sizhan went, those who went from here should come out from here as well.

If we can't get out, we'll talk about it later.

As night deepened, the sea breeze grew a bit chilly, and the mountain was almost deserted, the bustling activity giving way to silence.

The snowflakes falling from the sky weren't heavy, but there were still some, proving that Yuki was still here, and that Riki Jinomiya probably hadn't left either...

Su Deng leaned against the wall and patted Su Muye's head. "Let's wait a bit."

Su Muye twitched his tail and the two little fox ears on his head, took out two dorayaki from his pocket, handed one to Su Deng, kept one for himself, and squatted down by the wall to eat.
