"The situation is turning grim," one said.
"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.
...
Eagles soar through the sky, fish dart in the shallow waters,...
The mecha lost power, and when Li Changzhou stepped out of the cockpit, he transformed into a streak of light and burst out of the atmosphere of the Four Seasons Star. Under the rules of the value game, he flew at a speed that was unimaginable even at the speed of light to the Azure Star in a corner of the endless universe.
That can perhaps no longer be called speed.
The howling wind continued to lash Xiao Wu. Watching Li Changzhou slowly drift down from the sky, he felt that the wind was like the hand of a ghost—the ghost of millions of ice men—pulling them, trying to drag them into the abyss of death together.
The soda cracker shrank back and wrapped its clothes tighter.
It seems colder now.
"With such a good thing, why didn't you bring it out sooner?" Yaochi said with a slightly reproachful smile.
"While healing, I remembered something." Li Changzhou touched the ground with his toes, his feet slowly landing on the Frost Queen's corpse again.
"What?" Yang Qinglan asked gently.
"Previously, I hesitated about whether to kill 60% of the communicable life forms, and I was more inclined to collect artifacts."
"And then?" Yaochi asked curiously.
"Brother, are you worried about not being able to find the crown?" Li Qianxia asked.
“That’s one of the reasons, but more importantly… just now, I suddenly realized,” Li Changzhou paused, “that Qiu is in someone else’s hands.”
Holding the Ruyi scepter, Yang Qinglan hesitated for a moment, then looked up and said, "Are you worried that things will end up arguing?"
"One hundred percent!" Yaochi seemed to have anticipated this, a look of amusement on her face. "The Special Operations Bureau won't believe you, no, they won't believe any player, and the other players won't believe any player either—who could resist the temptation to wear the crown and become the master of this planet?"
Once you put on the crown, you have many choices.
First, do not command the Four Seasons Star people to submit, let the mission fail, and remain on the Four Seasons Star permanently, relying on the Crown Star to serve as a god on this planet;
Second, use the power of the crown to kill all players except yourself, making yourself the sole winner of the mission, and only you can travel between Four Seasons Star and Earth.
The second option carries risks.
The crown's power may only be effective on the Four Seasons Planet. If that's the case, her fate after returning to Earth will be dire.
It's also possible that Earth will choose to cooperate with the player who wears the crown.
But no matter what choice you make, the player who wears the crown has the right to decide the life and death of the others. Who would want someone else to decide their life and death?
"Didn't we sign a document in black and white?" Biscuit asked, puzzled.
"Can you guarantee that a written agreement can restrict whoever wears the crown?" Aferona retorted.
The biscuit remained silent.
"So that's why you went on a killing spree, brother?" Li Qianxia asked Li Changzhou.
Li Changzhou nodded, then put his arm around his sister's shoulder and sighed in her ear, "You have to understand me, sister. I'm not a devil, and I have no interest in killing."
“…I never said I would blame you.” Li Qianxia was speechless at her brother’s acting skills. “I know very well that this is war.”
"There are two more times to go. If you don't want to watch them, you can enter the Honey Pot World."
"At least let Shimizu and the others go."
"I'll listen to you. Next, we'll go to Autumn. By the time we get there, the Special Operations Bureau personnel should have already left, so we can take action with peace of mind and not worry about accidentally injuring anyone."
Li Changzhou put his arm around Li Qianxia, their heads close together, and although their voices were not low, it sounded like they were whispering.
Yang Qinglan held the Ruyi in her left hand and made a loose fist with her right hand, pressing it against her cherry-colored lips.
"Cough." A light cough.
Before Li Changzhou and Li Qianxia could react, Yaochi looked at her first and said with some surprise, "I didn't expect you to be so jealous."
"Jealous?" Yang Qinglan said calmly and seriously, "I have a cold."
"...You're more interesting than I thought." Yaochi seemed to admire and find it amusing.
"Otherwise, why would Changzhou like me?"
"Are you provoking me? Young people these days all like gray hair."
“It’s because all the anime fans these days like white hair. I’m not an anime fan,” Li Changzhou immediately said.
"What nonsense are you talking about, Onii-chan?" Li Qianxia hugged her brother's arm and looked at him innocently. "Have you forgotten? In the desert, you saw a player who said, 'This is my escape route,' and you said that the other person must be a good person, and that people who like anime must be good."
“I remember.” These were the words spoken by Yang Qinglan.
At the same time, the spring breeze that had enveloped Li Changzhou disappeared.
The cold air rushed towards him, filling his clothes, and his breath condensed into a white mist in the air.
“Qianxia,” Li Changzhou removed Li Qianxia’s hands from his embrace, “we are not actually siblings.”
Prepare to sacrifice family for the greater good.
Li Qianxia hugged her arms, looking at him fearfully: "Brother, you can't do this."
"......"
"Let's go." Yang Qinglan tapped Li Qianxia on the head with her Ruyi scepter.
Li Qianxia covered her head and cried out, "Why did you hit me?!"
"How interesting." Yaochi watched this scene with a smile.
A cold wind blew, and Li Changzhou felt much more relaxed. He threw the Frost Queen's corpse into the Honey Pot World.
In the clear night sky, Yaochi searched for several minutes before finally finding enough clouds to form two auspicious clouds.
As they flew, the howling, cold wind followed them all the way.
In the latter half of the night, another blizzard struck, and visibility rapidly decreased. One second there was nothing in front of you, and the next you could see a mountain blocking your way.
“Every blizzard gives birth to an ice man,” Yang Qinglan said, referring to the information she had read in the booklet.
