The gentle glow shrouded his body before Qin Ran had time to react.

Under such light, the shattered equipment on Qin Ran's body was restored at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"[Stable Great Repair Scroll], you can repair multiple equipment items at once."

"Don't refuse, you deserve it - as long as you can help me complete the copy of the only title, my losses, including but not limited to equipment damage, will be borne by me."

"It's a pact between us."

Wu said with a smile.

Qin Ran was silent.

In the contract agreed by the two, there is indeed such a clause.

It's a fact.

He couldn't argue with it.

But there are some things that must be declared.

"I'm just me."

"It's not him."

"It's not anyone."

"It's just me."

Qin Ran said in an almost emphatic tone.

"Y-You know?"

Wu was shocked, as if she was a little girl who had been secretly discovered in the depths of her heart, and she stammered when she spoke.

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

Qin Ran asked rhetorically.

Oh, yes.

Qin Ran is naturally not stupid.

Then under many anomalies, some speculation will inevitably appear.

Under such a premise, some attitudes have also become taken for granted.

Wu suddenly understood why Qin Ran had such a bad attitude towards her.

But......

Wu looked at Qin Ran in front of him.

In her mind, it was still a crow.

'Do you have to go?' ’

'Hmm. ’

'But what if you don't come back?' ’

Then there will be no return. ’

'Shall I go with you?' ’

'No, I can't. ’

'Why?' ’

Because you are here, I can have the confidence to come back—to see you." ’

……

'Liar! ’

'I'm waiting for you! ’

But you didn't come back! ’

'Big liar! ’

The whole area in front of her was gray, and the rain was pouring down, and she was drenched in an instant, but she stayed in front of the lonely grave without noticing.

You didn't come back. ’

'I'll go find you. ’

'Wait for me. ’

……

Consciousness is restored, and the lights in front of him are dazzling.

She didn't die.

But that's not what she needs.

'Don't stop me. ’

The two in front of him were his friends and her friends, and he died for one of them, and she should have resented the bastard with the cigar in his mouth,

But after seeing the other party's painful and self-blaming appearance, she gave up.

It's not about giving up resentment.

It's that she knows that the other party with this appearance is the punishment to live.

Staggering.

She's going to go back to him.

Then, she was stopped.

Her friend pressed her back into bed.

'You know you can't stop me. ’

'Hmm. ’

'It's so hard to stop you. ’

Her best friend leaned against the wall and gave the bastard a kick straight away, causing him to kneel in front of her.

'Does it work?' ’

She looked at the scene with a sneer.

'Whether it's useful or not, I don't know. ’

But it worked for him. ’

'One or two are looking for the dead and alive, and I can't take care of them so much. ’

Her friend pointed at the bastard.

I think we're friends. ’

As if feeling betrayed, her gaze gradually turned cold.

'yes. ’

We've always been friends. ’

That's why I brought you the news that there is no resurrection after death, which is what we have been taught to do, but what if there is something beyond our knowledge? ’

Her friend said lightly.

'What do you mean?' ’

She was stunned.

I found something interesting. ’

Maybe you can find a way to bring the crow back to life, or maybe ...... Maybe I'll be able to meet him there. ’

Her friend continued.

'Really? ’

The tone of doubt is full of certainty in the bottom of my heart.

She knew that the other party was not an exaggeration or a person who lied, but because of this, she understood the hidden meaning of the other person's words.

It made her impatient.

It also gave her hope.

'Let's rest. ’

'You need to rest before you can start, it's not a peaceful place, and I won't let you in if you don't have the ability to protect yourself.' ’

Her friend persuaded again.

This time she chose to listen.

Because, this is the way to find and see the crow.

After that, she entered the huge city.

She used her own plan to get closer to the way to find the crow.

And then......

She found it.

In a very unexpected way, I saw a crow.

Even if the other person doesn't think so.

But what does it matter?

Everything is going for the better, isn't it?

It's like this moment.

Conversations like this had only been thought to be in dreams before.

But now it's in front of you.

For such goodness.

What does it matter if you compromise?

"Hmm."

"I see."

"You're 2567, not anyone else."

Wu nodded and said so.

Facing such Wu, Qin Ran frowned slightly.

His instinct tells his intuition that Wu is not a person who gives up easily or changes his intuitive thoughts, but he can't go deeper.

No position and no qualifications.

In other words, Qin Ran didn't want his intuition to be involved in the quagmire of the other party's thinking.

He finally came out.

Well, don't go back.

"Can you tell me what the hell is here?"

Or......

"What is it?"

Qin Ran pointed to the cone-shaped body that had been cut in two by a sword.

"It?"

"A pseudo-V.-order existence that gave up the original body in order to become a god and fused with the scientific side."

Wu looked at the wreckage on the ground and said slowly.

"Pseudo-V.Tier?"

Qin Ran raised his eyebrows.

The ability shown by the other party is not something that the so-called pseudo-V. rank can achieve.

"Of course it's special."

"Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to reach this level, but its peculiarity makes it blind and can't see what reality is."

"Gunpowder has risen here, but the mystery has not faded."

"But it thinks that the coexistence of the two is a ridiculous thing, a thing that prevents it from becoming a god, so it wants to abandon the former completely."

"It's going to be the only light in the darkness."

"It's going to make it the only faith for all people."

"That's why the Marquis K was born."

Wu explained.

"Birth?"

"You mean?"

Qin Ran's eyes narrowed, and he thought of something.

"Hmm."

"Like fear, it's the bloodborn, the werewolves, the ghouls, everything else here."

"It's made according to what it's experienced, what it's remembered."

"But ......"

"It eventually forgot a little."

"It's not the one it locks up and remembers."

"Even if it has very similar powers, but similarity does not mean uniformity, just like there cannot be two identical leaves in the world, very similar abilities are ultimately a mirror."

Wu said and looked at Qin Ran.

Or rather......

She was looking at the [Lionheart King] badge that Qin Ran had hidden in her clothes.
