“Wu Yu? Isn’t he your companion?” Yi Fang asked in surprise.

“I also wish he were my companion, but unfortunately, he is a visitor from another world. In fact, whether he is a reincarnated person, a guardian, or even a god-made puppet, I can accept him, but a visitor from another world is not acceptable.” Violet shook her head, her face full of regret.

"Why?" Yifang asked.

"Because I have already arranged everything. I have plans to deal with the other identities. Only the visitor from another world means absolute unknown. No matter what his purpose is, his actions will affect my plans. And saving the world cannot tolerate any mistakes."

Violet said coldly, "I like him very much, but he is far too insignificant compared to the whole world."

"Didn't you say the world couldn't be saved? And Wu Yu's power seems to be even above that of the gods," Yi Fang said, puzzled.

"The Apocalypse Society belongs to me, but I do not belong to the Apocalypse Society. If it weren't for Wu Yu's sudden emergence half a year ago, the world would have already been saved."

Although Wu Yu delayed her trip, Violet did not complain at all, because her purpose was to correct these unexpected events until reality was shaped into the way she had envisioned.

Violet gently waved her hand, and a piece of bark that had been stored in Ivan's storage ring appeared in her hand. Looking at the words carved on it, Violet smiled.

“I have placed a second shackle on him—a contract. No matter how powerful a person is, once he has a weakness, he is no longer a threat.”

From Violet's words, Yifang seemed to glean the world's greatest secret, but she didn't press the matter further. She knew many things were beyond her comprehension. However, knowing her leader was so powerful, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"So we also have the ability to fight against the mastermind behind this incident? They even summoned a forbidden being like a god!"

"Who do you think bestowed Philliss's talent upon her? She thinks she can control everything just because she has the present, but she forgets that the present is made up of the past." Violet's face showed deep disdain, comparing her to those schemers seemed to be an insult to her.

"Alright, let's end this chat here. He'll be back to see me soon." Ivan seemed to want to say something more, but Violet had already ended the conversation without her consent.

She took out a black token engraved with stars, threw it on the table, and commanded, "This is a token. Take it to your previous contact and pass on my orders to him. Also, tell him that Violet is the person in charge of this mission and that you should follow her instructions for now."

"Let's part ways here. As a reward, I will do my best to save your life during the apocalypse. You probably don't want your brother to suffer for the rest of his life, do you?"

When her deepest secret was revealed, Ivan looked at Violet in shock.

However, she only met a pair of dreamlike eyes, like a whirlpool, which caused her soul to sink into them.

A blurry, indistinct figure appeared behind Violet, resembling both a man and a woman, an old man and a child.

Subsequently, a portion of Yifang's spirit was extracted from her body and merged into the phantom.

Yi Fang's eyes suddenly became blank. She could clearly feel that part of her memory had become blank. She looked to the side, but apart from the black token on the table, the president of the Apocalypse Society was nowhere to be seen in the chair.

Yifang has no intention of trying to regain those lost memories, because she has already obtained what she was willing to give her life for.

Yifang put the token into her pocket and held the black bead she had just received. Everything felt so sudden and unreal.

Wu Yu stood in front of his house, facing the half-closed door, hesitant to push it open.

He was afraid that he wouldn't see the person he wanted to see if he went in, but he wasn't the kind of man who would run away from reality. After hesitating for a long time, he finally stepped through the door.

There was no sound in his ears, no living creature in his eyes. Wu Yu felt a tightness in his heart, but he did not give up. Instead, he continued to walk towards Violet's bedroom.

"Clang"

Wu Yu suddenly opened the wardrobe in front of him, where he met a pair of panicked eyes and was met with a pitch-black dagger.

However, the [Dodge] skill was not triggered because the dagger stopped automatically in front of him.

"Thank you for being alive," Wu Yu said sincerely.

Violet's eyes were full of doubt as she stared at Wu Yu, sensing that he had undergone some changes she was unaware of. But when she saw Wu Yu's still empty left hand, she said regretfully, "Even God can't repair your left hand?"

"Don't worry, your prayers weren't in vain. This is my own problem," Wu Yu comforted him.

"Although a lot has happened, things haven't gotten too bad. I hope you'll continue to guide me in the future." Wu Yu extended his right hand, inviting Violet to join him.

Violet paused for a moment, then happily replied, "Mm."

Her small hand clasped Wu Yu's, and he pulled her out of the narrow, dark wardrobe.
