Ying Xiao's heart was pierced, and in an instant, a strange black mist surged out, emitting a sharp and piercing sound.
Blood gushed from her chest like a spring, staining her clothes red.
A relieved smile appeared on her face.
The four men's feet seemed nailed to the ground, unable to move an inch. They never imagined that Ying Xiao would make such a resolute choice.
The next second, Ying Xiao's body suddenly dissipated into countless fragments without warning, disappearing without a trace.
The card album fell to the ground with a "thud".
Ji Fu gasped sharply, his chest heaving violently. He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word; it felt as if something was choking him.
Yu Xiangnan felt a chill run from the soles of his feet up his spine, as if the blood in his body was about to freeze.
Ying Xiao's body... is gone?!
She specially put the [Blessing Potion of the Silent Flower] in her card album, but now that the body is gone, how can she revive it?
This prop, at this moment, seems so cruel.
Ruins Star...
Yu Xiangnan gritted his teeth.
If a planet is destined to perish, it certainly won't be now!
They did not provoke the conflict, but that does not mean they will tolerate the wanton bullying from other planets!
“To the south…” After a brief silence, Xia Baizhi stepped forward and gently took her hand. The warmth of his palm offered her some comfort.
Ji Fu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to suppress the turmoil in his heart. His hands clenched unconsciously, his knuckles turning white from the force.
After a moment of silence, he slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with complex emotions, which were replaced by a firm and resolute expression.
Ji Fu bent down to pick up the card album Ying Xiao had dropped, straightened up, and looked at Yu Xiangnan with a serious expression. "Yu Xiangnan, I am now formally extending a cooperation invitation to you in my capacity as the deputy leader of the special operations team. As you can see, the special operations team is currently in a very critical situation, and so is Blue Star..."
He paused slightly, a hint of pain flashing in his eyes, before regaining his composure.
"Of course, you can also choose to refuse... If you agree, I will tell you all the known information our team has gathered so far without reservation, and you can use the items as you please."
Yu Xiangnan lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes casting a shadow on his eyelids, concealing the emotions in his eyes.
After a moment, she raised her head and looked directly at Ji Fu.
"Is it cooperation, or should I join the special operations team?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Fu paused slightly, but without hesitation, gave his answer: "It's a collaboration. You don't need to join the special operations team. However, this collaboration is different from the previous one to search for the Dragon Mu Totem fragments. The content of this collaboration is to defend against external enemies and protect Blue Star."
“Okay, I accept this cooperation,” Yu Xiangnan replied. “I have also gathered quite a few clues over the years, some of which I can share with you.”
Upon hearing Yu Xiangnan's agreement, a hint of joy flashed in Ji Fu's eyes.
He swiftly pulled a gleaming silver card from his card album and handed it to Yu Xiangnan. “Pleasure doing business with you! This is a privilege card for the special operations team. Our meeting room and public warehouse are located in the basement of the library on the public map. This card grants direct access. I will notify you in advance of any changes.”
After saying that, he turned his gaze to Xia Baizhi and Huo Qingyi, "Thanks to the two of you for your help this time, I will give you the corresponding Journey Points as a reward. If you need help in the future, I hope you will not hesitate to lend a hand."
"No need." Huo Qingyi shook his head, his eyes burning with anger. "If it's for the sake of Blue Star, then count me in."
Xia Baizhi nodded as well.
"Yes, me too!"
......
After bidding farewell to everyone, Yu Xiangnan returned to his own [domain].
She walked straight to the living room sofa, sat down slowly, and fell into deep thought.
The living room was extremely quiet, with only the digital clock on the wall ticking.
Ji Fu has already revealed the truth of the matter and the contents of the video to the members of the special operations team. However, the possibility that someone impersonating Ying Xiao has infiltrated the team cannot be completely ruled out at present, so this is a good opportunity to observe carefully.
Yu Xiangnan asked with a serious expression, "Fei Duo, can one insect nail find multiple parasites?"
[Feido]: Theoretically, it's not possible. However, the functionality of the Insect Spikes that each player on Fera Star possesses varies slightly each month, so I can't give a definitive answer.
Yu Xiangnan's brows furrowed into a deep frown.
Various clues flashed through my mind like a revolving lantern, and a bold yet unsettling guess began to take shape in my heart.
If Ying Xiao was already parasitized before the game invaded Earth, then where did the [Insect Nail Remnant] in Wei Lika's album come from?
There is definitely more than one enemy lurking in the shadows.
Another thing is the strange English letters "Aeonalloy" written on Luo Pin's note, with "023 District" highlighted in red...
After a quick search, she successfully located the so-called Zone 023. This place, like the Energy Collapse Zone, was actually a non-jurisdiction zone.
Areas such as public map survival instances, chaos instances, and reward instances on various planets fall under the jurisdiction of this area. Area 023, however, is a long-abandoned region. It is said that this area was once a public map of a certain planet, but all the players on that planet have perished, so this planet has been completely abandoned and classified as a non-jurisdiction area.
Later, other players discovered this place and arrived here using special means. Some of them started developing resources, while others established new forces here. Gradually, this abandoned area was revitalized.
However, because this place was once abandoned, the system has long since ceased to manage it.
Without the constraints of rules, Zone 023 became increasingly chaotic and disorderly. Being there meant that a slight mistake could cost you your life, making it far more dangerous than the survival instance.
The danger here doesn't come from natural disasters or NPCs, but from other players.
Just as I was pondering this, a new message notification suddenly sounded.
Yu Xiangnan clicked to view.
【chat】
[Ji Fu]: I found the rhombus-shaped crystal my aunt mentioned in her card album, but I haven't broken it yet.
[Ji Fu]: In addition, there is also a card called [Dragon Totem Fragment (Northeast Position)].
Yu Xiangnan was startled.
In the blink of an eye, Ji Fu sent another message.
[Ji Fu]: Want to come? I'm on the basement floor of the library right now, I can show you around.
After a very short time, Yu Xiangnan immediately stood up and replied: Coming right away.
