[The tenth day of the dungeon opening 8:00 am]

At dawn.

Su Mingan pushed open the door and saw a red figure sitting not far away.

The snow fell on her shoulders, and she stared into the distance silently... It seemed that a silent and cold breath was spreading in the white snow.

That touch of red is particularly dazzling among the white snow, like a flame shining in the ice and snow.

Hearing the door open, she turned around, and her somewhat dark eyes fixed on Su Mingan for a moment.

She looked like she had been sitting by the frozen glacier for a long time, and a fine layer of snow had formed on her head.

"Didn't you sleep well?" Naraku asked him.

"Is it obvious?"

"Under your eyes." Naraku pointed his finger at his face: "A circle, everyone can see it."

Su Mingan didn't look in the mirror. He raised his head and looked towards the south.

Through the tall and short one-story houses, he could see the dazzling barrier. Outside the barrier, dense shadows were clearly visible in the snow.

"Don't worry." Naraku said, "Even if that barrier is broken, there is still the Royal City barrier. If your goal is to climb up to the Cloud City, you can just go to the Royal City barrier and wait until the day after tomorrow."

Su Mingan knew that what she said was right.

Even if he ignored the Siren attack, he would be able to complete the game perfectly once he reached Cloud City, because the story ended there. As for Praia on the ground, it was just a stepping stone for him to reach the city.

But things can’t be viewed that way.

The reason why he wanted to care about the siren's siege was that he was afraid that the siren would break through Praia ahead of time and block the final route to the customs.

"——You little girl! What are you talking about!"

Suddenly, a loud and fierce shout came from the side.

Naraku was startled to see an old lady wrapped in a cotton jacket squeezing out from a house a few doors down.

Her face was red from the cold, but she said rudely:

"It's been a long time since we've had a good life in recent years. How do you expect us to survive without such a large piece of land? You're so young and yet you're saying such depressing things. What did your family teach you? You can't say such unlucky words casually!"

Naraku opened her mouth, but was stunned when faced with such an aunt.

She grew up in an aristocratic family and had never met an aunt with such a loud voice. It was like thunder in her ears.

"And you, young man."

The old lady's eyes, like knives, slashed at Su Mingan who was standing at the door: "--You don't care about your girlfriend. At such a critical moment, it's ok for you not to go to the city wall to help, but you are still here making sarcastic remarks. You look old enough to be able to work, but you are still sleeping here. Why don't you help move things if you have enough strength?"

Su Mingan: “…”

He guessed that this old lady had never been near the South District Pier, so she had never seen Su Lin's appearance and just treated him as an ordinary young man.

"Hey! What do you mean by sleeping so well? Do you know who this person is?" Naraku immediately stood up, his face flushed with anger.

She did not refute the statement "Why don't you take care of your girlfriend" at all, and started arguing with the second half of the old lady's sentence.

Su Mingan didn't want to argue with this resident any further. Noon was the time when the "Cross-Sea Operation" would begin, and that would be the most dangerous period.

He walked directly towards the south area, and Naraku hurriedly trotted after him.

"Oh, that's right, go earlier and help earlier." The aunt's voice floated from behind: "My son Yongzhi is helping at the front line. He probably hasn't had breakfast yet. I'll bring him some naan bread later... You two, don't be idle either. Since you have the strength, go and help quickly..."

Su Mingan walked very quickly and soon left her voice behind.

Last night, he started the fifth level of "The Devil and the Brave", but after discovering that it and the final level "must be completed within two days", he decided to postpone this night level.

In this way, before going up to Cloud City, he still has the opportunity to go back and change his night choice, instead of overwriting the save file with the offset of time.

He planned to complete the fifth level tonight, complete the final level tomorrow night, and reach Yunshang City the day after tomorrow.

This way, the timing is just right.

He turned around and found Naraku still following him.

She didn't walk fast, but she was panting and seemed very weak.

"Don't follow me, the action that's about to happen will be very dangerous." Su Mingan said.

"I know that I still have some sense." Naraku curled his lips: "But it should be okay to wait on the city wall and watch you return safely, right?"

“…That wasn’t a very good experience.”

"What?"

"You'll have nightmares after seeing that sight."

"Huh?" Naraku raised his eyebrows. "Su Lin, although I like you, you should not be so confident and underestimate my courage. It's just breaking through the Siren blockade and re-establishing the barrier on the sea surface. How scary can it be?"

Su Mingan stopped.

"You should know that I am not the Su Lin of the past."

He didn't look back.

"What?" Naraku tilted his head: "What are you talking about?"

She looked confused, not fake.

Su Mingan understood.

Unlike Princess Tulip and Shelude, Naraku is an unawakened NPC.

She didn't understand the concept of players he talked about, and didn't understand why Su Lin would change people. She was convinced that he was the Viscount of the Su family whom she had liked.

She just never learned to give up.

...But her liking was just a setting of the copy, not an emotional product of her own thinking.
