And the cracked giant sword she held in her hand.

It was Lacey, who was known as the Angel in the organization, and the one who smashed Ning Yu's weapon on the rainy night.

The guy who said "we will meet again".

"It's you."

Ning Yu narrowed his eyes. This guy said he wanted to help her, but he set an ambush to attack her.

She no longer paid attention to the mutated zombies on the ground that were no longer moving, and stared at Lacey with her eyes that had turned into rubies.

"We meet again."

Lacey smiled at her, and her expressionless face seemed to melt as an iceberg, and bright gold began to spread in her eyes, replacing the original ice blue.

Ning Yu still remembered that this was a sign that this guy had entered the second stage. In this state, it seemed as if even her personality had changed.

Before Lacey could continue speaking, Ning Yu had already walked sideways into the fog and activated [Walking in the Fog].

The sniper rifle in Shen Yiyue's hand was not idle either. Flames spurted out of the barrel, and bullets with time abilities flew towards Lacey.

"Misunderstood, I'm not here to fight with you."

She stretched out her hands and made a helpless expression.

However, Ning Yu and Shen Yiyue did not listen to her. After all, she had set up the ambush first, and now the two of them had no way of trusting her.

Shen Yiyue's bullet stopped in front of Lacey, and a light blue ripple barrier emerged, with the bullet creating rippling lines on it.

Ning Yu's figure appeared behind Lacey, and the Blood Kite stabbed into her barrier.

Now it is no longer the original [Scarlet Blade], and the tip of the blade immediately broke through Lacey's barrier.

Although Lacey did not directly attack Ning Yu to trigger [Moment of the Moon], Ning Yu did not give up the attack.

She waved the Blood Kite and slashed countless times along the entire barrier! Lacey's barrier began to shake violently, and then there was a crisp sound.

Her unbreakable barrier was directly broken by the Blood Kite!

There was no change in Lacey's expression. She still had that mysterious smile on her face and shook her head helplessly.

Ning Yu's knife and Shen Yiyue's bullets were no longer hindered.

Lacey just dodged Shen Yiyue's bullets with time-stopping effect, but Ning Yu's knife continued to follow her body like a shadow.

"clang!"

Lacey placed the huge sword in front of her chest to block Ning Yu's fierce attack.

"You've become much stronger. I was right about you."

Ning Yu frowned. The Blood Kite's attack was like a storm, but Lacey did not engage in a head-on fight with her. Instead, she defended very passively.

It seemed as if he didn't want to fight at all.

Could it be that this guy was really ambushing the two of them here?

"What do these mutant zombies mean?"

Ning Yu looked at the cyborg mutated zombies that were no longer moving on the ground. It seemed that they had really stopped attacking under her control.

"Just testing your strength."

Ning Yu's attacks became faster and faster, and only the afterimages of both sides remained in the air.

In order to keep up with Ning Yu's movements, Lacey had grown a pair of blue wings of light on her back at some point.

Those were not the wings that Ning Xuan had, but real wings of light, fairy-like blue butterfly-like wings, composed purely of some kind of energy.

The energy flowing on it rippled backwards as if it was burning, swaying gently as Lacey moved.

"clang!"

The weapons of the two people met again, but Lacey still did not take the initiative to attack Ning Yu.

Shen Yiyue suddenly saw Ning Yu raising her hand with her back to her, which was a signal for her not to attack again.

"You really want to help me?"

Ning Yu slowly retracted the Blood Kite, his eyes still fixed firmly on Lacey, guarding against her sudden attack.

Lacey loosened her hand and sent the cracked giant sword back into the invisible space. She spread the wings of light behind her and flew to the huge portal.

After operating it for a while and closing the portal, he turned back and said to Ning Yu:

"certainly."

"Why?"

Ning Yu pressed the issue immediately, not giving her any space.

This was Ning Yu's biggest question. She had been eyeing him from so early on. What on earth did she want to do? "We still have time. Your dear sister is tracking Morning Star. We can talk slowly."

She walked to the destroyed altar in the middle and placed a small soul gem on it again.

The altar started working again, and the surrounding light paths lit up again, but it was far less effective than the large soul gem at the beginning.

But it seemed that this was enough for Lacey. She operated the altar and the device on it seemed to begin to change and move in some way.

A screen slowly rose from below, and the energy of the Soul Gem surged toward the screen, seemingly powering it.

"The Soul Gem and these altars, are they all your masterpieces?"

Ning Yu stared at her with a frown, finding it hard to imagine that such a beautiful creature could create such an evil and even vicious energy extraction mechanism.

“It’s me, but it’s not me.”

She seemed to have finally done it, and turned to look at Ning Yu. Shen Yiyue now realized that she didn't need to fight anymore, so she slowly walked over.

Ning Yu was speechless when she heard this.

"I advise you to speak human language immediately."

She was almost unable to suppress the urge to beat the Riddler to death.

"Hahahahaha, you're still as grumpy as ever."

Lacey couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh softly. When she laughed, her golden eyes sparkled with crystal clear light.

"You are seeing the real me now."

She pointed to her eyes and gestured to Ning Yu.

"What you usually see is my protective personality. You can simply understand it as a program I designed."

"It was my protective personality that first attacked you that day."

Ning Yu seemed to understand:

“So androids don’t dream about electric sheep, but they can suffer from schizophrenia??”

Shen Yiyue, who was standing next to her, almost couldn't hold back her laughter, and Lacey almost choked on her.

"First of all, I'm not a android, and secondly, this is not schizophrenia."

Lacey rolled her eyes at Ning Yu in a very vivid way, then pointed to the altar underground and said, "These altars were also designed by my alter ego."

"Why would you do such a thing? This is not William's purpose at all. Why did you betray him?"

Ning Yu has already started to speculate.

Hearing the name 'William', Lacey's eyes trembled, as if the name had an inexplicable touch on her.
