Chapter 80 You Yu: The support provided by Mo City in handling the Ten Commandments Token is...Faust.
"That guy just left like that? He got off easy..."
Lily of the Valley glared hatefully in the direction where the demon apostle disappeared, and stabbed the fork in her hand heavily into the ground. It collided with the hard temple stone, making a harsh friction sound.
"This guy is just like a psycho. I was just born in the map, and this guy attacked me without any moral principles. As a result, I only had time to throw my headphones at the mark of the underworld. Otherwise, you guys plus Youyu, who has no sense of direction, would have spent who knows how long it would have taken to circle the temple complex on the surface."
Linglan patted her head in worry. "But I only had time to mark it. That guy wrapped me up with vines and dragged me all the way here. He was still muttering something like 'the king's expectations' and 'the vision of all living beings'. I was scared. It's simply a cult organization. It's even more abnormal than Huogu. It's worthy of being the deputy of the devil's apostle."
Qianmian's behavior obviously greatly aroused Linglan's dissatisfaction. As the strongest A-level player, Linglan had never seen such a strange person in her life. In addition, she was ambushed, and she felt an indescribable sense of frustration in her heart. Even though she had just killed the projection of the demon apostle with her own hands, that feeling of unhappiness still lingered in her heart.
"Hey, Linglan, I'm glad you're okay. To be honest, those vines just now looked terrible. Are you really not affected by them?"
You Yu patted Ling Lan's shoulder, changed the subject, and used his soul particles to form a golden thread to check Ling Lan's condition. He breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was really no problem.
"Who do you think I am? I am your invincible sister Linglan."
Linglan looked at Youyu, who was pretending to be strong but was actually extremely nervous, with amusement, and patted his head: "They are just some vines, what can they do to me, but..."
Linglan's expression became serious: "This temple complex and the Thousand Faces do contain a lot of information. Everything here is too weird..."
Shuise nodded in agreement, his voice barely calming down: "Yes, let's not talk about how this ancient relic, which has long been lost to the public, has been preserved so well over thousands of years. These vines here are also worthy of vigilance..."
Shuise stroked his chin and looked at Linglan: "They are too similar to the manifestation of your soul tag ability."
Bai Ye did not say anything. He stood there waiting for the crystal skull in his hand to automatically piece together and complete the purification. Hearing this, he looked up and nodded. His cobalt blue eyes were filled with complex thoughts.
"……really."
Lily of the Valley turned around and faced the tangled vine cocoons behind her that had trapped her just now but were now torn apart by her with a fork. Although the vines had withered due to being cut, one could still see their shapes when they were growing vigorously... as well as the translucent ghost orchids that were in full bloom.
The flowers and vines themselves are exactly the same as the vines that Lily of the Valley usually uses to assist in combat.
"But I don't know the real reason behind this either... I'm afraid the only person who knows the truth is Qianmian..."
Lily of the Valley pondered for a moment, then turned and walked towards the huge stone door of the temple where all the rune carvings lit up after the demon apostle disappeared.
"It's really annoying to be led by the nose by others... So let's leave the Dionysus space as soon as possible and go to reality... Let's find that guy in person and ask him clearly."
Lily of the Valley raised her lips to a flamboyant smile and looked sharply at the huge stone door of the temple hall. The fork in her hand dragged behind her, leaving a white mark on the stone floor.
"The extreme point of the Nine Underworld, the end of the world's death... The main temple dedicated to the feathered serpent god in charge of death in the City of Ink, that is, the pyramid of the Demon King of Meteorites, Mitlan. This is where the 'safety gate' is located."
She gently waved the fork in her hand, and translucent vines composed of countless soul particles twisted and turned, like undead souls rising from those dead vines, rushing towards the boulder gate that was glowing with a faint green light.
The moment the vines tried to pass through the boulder gate, red and blue pixel blocks appeared out of thin air. Everything in front of him was like a holographic game after a data invasion. The virtual pixel door in the real picture was opened. At the same time, the crystal skull in Bai Ye's hand was purified just right.
"Okay, let's go, into reality, and talk to these guys about it."
You Yu was stunned for a moment. He looked at Linglan's back, chuckled quickly, put on his beret that was knocked askew by the other party, and took the first step towards the opened security door.
"Then...successfully collect the two Ten Commandments tokens and end this 'reunion' as soon as possible."
The boys and girls' voices were soft, but their steps were still firm. Behind the security door with overlapping red and blue pixels was a mission more dangerous than the Dionysus Space, but no one chose to hesitate or escape.
Youyu, Shuise, and Linglan walked through the red and blue pixel door one after another. Their steps were so firm that no one noticed Bai Ye, who deliberately kept time and stopped after Linglan's figure disappeared in the pixel block.
"The relationship between Lily of the Valley and this place...maybe it is the key to her death."
Bai Ye stood in front of the security gate, looking at the temple hall where fireflies were still floating, and murmured.
His eyes were fixed on the huge cocoon. Lily of the Valley was definitely not ignorant of everything as she said. At least she knew some key information about the relationship between Ink City, the Mitklan temple complex, the underworld, and the Demon King of Meteorite. She was not like him and Youyu, who were like Shuise, who were only confused about everything.
As the last person to walk, Bai Ye finally got his reward after deliberately suppressing his presence after entering the Dionysus space.
He heard Lily of the Valley's whispers as she left the map, passed through the security door, and faced the red and blue pixels.
"I also want to know what the relationship between me and this place is... I also want to know... where is the 'death' that I have been looking for for so many years."
Death?
Bai Ye shifted his gaze from the magnificent interior of the temple. He looked at the crystal skull made up of the fragments of the token in his hand that had not yet completely dissipated. The deep eye sockets on the skull reflected the colorful luster and looked at him. The cobalt blue color reflected was more crystal clear than Bai Ye.
"As the token of the Ten Commandments... that once sealed the origin of everything, what do you know about death?"
Bai Ye looked at the skull in his hand. The Demon King of Meteorite was active for a longer time than the Demon King of Dusk Fire. He was second only to the unknown Demon King of Clear Wind. No one knew what he had done. His existence was only circulated in the myths of the City of Ink. The only thing that could prove his existence was the Mictlan Temple Complex, a group of buildings built by humans.
But it was obviously dead.
Will the meteorite that controls death also die? So what is the true nature of the devil?
What do they have to do with the destiny that has already been written and the high-ranking players?
If even the demon of death has to die, how can he, who failed to save Shindou Chizuru at that time, save Suzuran and Mizuiro... and prevent his friends from being "killed" by him who is controlled by t173 in their fate?
No one knew that the crystal skull was just a string of data simulated in the DM system. It quietly dissipated in Bai Ye's doubts, as if it had never been put together by anyone.
Without any answer, Bai Ye finally just sighed, waved away the last bit of light left in his hand, and walked into the security door.

Under the moonlight, above the starry sky.
Deep in the dark sea of clouds, beneath the quietly spinning Wheel of Fortune, in the multi-pillared hall, those who had not yet arrived tapped the trembling threads of fate out of boredom.
[Welcome player t173 to log in to the system, game option simulator, to serve you in real time! 】
[Game Anchor: The Corruption Epidemic in Tanghong Town has ended, and the first chapter of the Road of Destiny has been completed! Please check it out! 】
【Warm reminder: Your account is still running! 】
t173 spoke rather flatteringly, but the person who had not yet arrived sneered.
"It's still not perfect... There aren't enough swordsmen. How can the 'protagonist' really grow like this? T173, you did a really bad job this time. I'm so disappointed."
The sigh of the person who had not arrived caused T173 to fall into a complete data collapse. The overlapping red and blue data pixel blocks flickered for a long time before they were pieced together into a complete electronic light screen.
"Okay, it's okay. I won't blame you."
The person who has not arrived yet looked at the next plot anchor marked as [The Road to Exploring Destiny·Part 2] and threw out a sentence word by word.
"No matter how the DM system of the Senate interferes, our mission must be completed in the end. Fate does not have the patience for that long, and neither do I."
Those who had not arrived looked at the electronic light screen composed of overlapping red and blue pixels, which trembled violently, like the most loyal subordinate nodding frantically in agreement.
"It seems that some things need to be put on the agenda..."
Those who have not yet arrived sigh softly.

Ink City, Sun Law Enforcement Bureau Branch.
The Holy Grail of the DM system was still gradually overflowing. There was no time for the Youyu Detective Agency to hesitate. On the second day after leaving the Dionysus Space, several people took the Sun-Chasing Train and traveled for several days to reach another city circle on the other side of the ocean.
The City of Ink has a peculiar southern hemisphere belief, is bound to the element of "death" that everyone fears, and is surrounded by tropical jungles.
"This place is really completely different from Night Island. By the way, Youyu, I remember that because two Ten Commandments tokens appeared at the same time, the Sun Law Enforcement Bureau specially sent two special teams and the leaders Mr. Spade, Ms. Plum Blossom, and several other law enforcement officers to come to support. I forgot to check before, who is the other team besides us?"
As the special festival of Ink City, the Day of the Dead, is approaching, every household on the street is decorated with dazzling marigolds, lilies of the valley and aqua. Walking on the streets of Ink City, whose architectural style is completely different from that of Night Island and Night City, they turn around curiously, looking left and right. Only after their curiosity is satisfied do they remember the doubts in the report issued by the Sun Law Enforcement Bureau.
"…It is the complete [Wings of the Goddess of Victory]."
Contrary to everyone else's expectations, You Yu, who was usually cheerful and straightforward, said nothing this time. He was silent for a long time, until Shuise couldn't help asking again, then he started to explain.
"That doesn't mean——"
Shuise's voice was muffled by Linglan and held back in the depths of her throat. Bai Ye, who was at the end of the team observing the strange and special fruits being sold on the streets of Mo City, just noticed the commotion here and looked up in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, it's okay..."
Linglan laughed twice and glared at Shuise fiercely. Shuise closed his mouth, made a zippering motion with his fingers, and said nothing more.
after all……
In addition to Jade, [Wings of the Goddess of Victory] also has a special member.
That's Faust.
Faust, who had been deeply entangled with Bai Ye in the Rye Town incident, became a member of the Squid Detective Agency and was forced to participate in the reunion.
