Already under the final world tree - several people are lying in different places, sleeping soundly.

Dong Yingqin was lying on a flat ground, sleeping on his side, with his back to the dark woods.

At this moment, a black figure walked up behind him - slowly raised the knife -

Bang——!

The knife didn't fall, but the shadow fell to the side.

Dong Yingqin appeared behind the black shadow, looking at all this with cold eyes - where he was originally lying, the person was like a deflated ball, and the figure disappeared completely.

The dark shadow that fell to the ground is...... Silent.

"You're really ...... As always, I like to give instructions to others. His voice rang out in the silence, and as soon as he finished speaking, a tall girl appeared—she looked like a forgotten elf, with a faint smile on her lips.

"I said, to survive." Ling Yao spoke.

"So, first entrap the stupidest one and kill me, and no one will hinder you from guiding Bai Chen." Dong Yingqin lowered his eyes, "But despite this, you still have to sacrifice her in the end, right?" ”

Ling Yao smiled but said nothing.

"It's an interesting world of ashes." Dong Yingqin said again.

Dreams are all too real - for players in the world of Ashes, it's a common thing.

It's just this kind of ash world......

They probably thought that this was their "own" ash world, but what they didn't expect was that these people who looked similar to reality were actually "real".

- Originally, these judgments were only in a state of doubt, but Mi Fan's "boss" was too dramatic.

Ling Yao didn't speak.

There's nothing left to talk about - according to "Podika", only one person can really live here.

"Since you have already ......" Ling Yao pursed her lips, and just as she had some thoughts, Mi Fan's figure appeared not far away-

"That'...... That sword ......"

Her tone was still a little dazed, and when she heard this, she raised her eyebrows and rushed to the other two people at the scene to follow the sound and found that ......

The holy sword was stuck in the land not far away.

To be precise, it was "abandoned".

Mi Fan followed Ling Yao's words to find the location of this holy sword, but he didn't expect it......

At this moment, not far away, under the Final World Tree, a blood-red light rose into the air, enveloping the entire tree in it—

"Isn't she ......" Dong Yingqin suddenly understood something.

Even Ling Yao's expression showed a hint of trance—but she quickly came back to her senses and shook her head sarcastically: "It seems...... It's not kindness, it's outright disdain. ”

……

Bai Chen was standing under the World Tree at this time - the blood bar on her head was still half-cut, and the Tang Knife with the blood blade in her hand was as magnificent as a jewel, and at this moment, a long-lost manic aura was leaking out of it.

That's really ...... She's special.

Slashed the approaching mobs with a knife, and Bai Chen walked towards the World Tree with arrows—

She has no intention of mediating and giving everyone a perfect ending -

Bite.

In this ash world, the white World Tree began to stain the blood from underneath - it spread, and finally, a strong light erupted from it-

……

——

——

Bai Chen slowly opened his eyes, and the sunlight poured into the room from the window—the sun that had not been seen for a long time.

She sat up from the bed, feeling her mind slightly messed up.

Is that really the world of ashes...... But I always feel like there's something, I'm not sure.

She actually didn't know the fact that those "NPCs" were themselves—Bai Chen was not sensitive to this matter.

After thinking about it, she stepped out of bed and opened the door—

"Good morning, little sister Bai Chen." Jiang Li stood at the dining table, just put down a breakfast, and showed a bright smile at her.

“…… Early. Bai Chen was stunned for half a second before answering.

"Go wash and change your clothes and have breakfast." Jiang Li smiled again, walked over and rubbed her long hair, which was still a little messy, "I'm going on a business trip today." ”

Bai Chen was about to turn around and go back when he heard his words and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Ah, it's not far, I'll be back later." Jiang Li waved his hand, "It's really painful to travel in a hurry." ”

“…… Great work. Bai Chen didn't know how to comfort him, just said.

"Well, are there any other comforts?" Jiang Li thought for a while, leaned on the door frame, tilted his head and asked her - it looked very improper.

Bai Chen was slightly stunned: "What?" ”

Then he was hugged into a warm embrace-Bai Chen was caught off guard by being held, but because it was not the first time, the surprise was only a moment.

hugged her for a few seconds before Jiang Li let go of her and smiled at her as usual.

——

King's Sword.

"The new soothsayer?" The baseball cap listened to what Podica said on the side of the PCI video call, muttering, "It seems...... Is there a chance for remedy with the key? ”

"Of course." Podica wore a mask and spoke in the same tone as usual.

"When will it be delivered?" The baseball cap asked.

"Today."

As soon as the baseball cap was finished, Podica immediately picked it up, revealing a hint of urgency.

The silence continued.

"The Ministry of Ashes doesn't have any more information from us, as long as they can repair the key...... The subject's location has also been confirmed, and after these repairs have been made, we can proceed to the next operation. Podica didn't hear her boss's answer, and cold sweat flowed down her cheeks.

"Hmm." The baseball cap nodded.

It seems that he agrees with this view.

Podica unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"The world of ashes hasn't been going on much lately, and I'm actually quite worried about your declining judgment and execution...... But looking at this efficiency, it's impressive. The baseball cap stared at her for a moment, then suddenly said, "By the way, who found this prophet?" I remember you haven't been recuperating from injuries these days? ”

Podika was stunned for a moment, and then said, "It's a newcomer named Ling Yao." ”

"That's it." The baseball cap touched his chin and nodded again, "How is Frankenstein doing now?" ”

"This ......"

The baseball cap and Frankenstein belong to two departments, and they are the two giants of the King's Sword - as a subordinate of the baseball cap, Podica actually does not know the traces of Frankenstein.

"There's a notice from the research department that it needs to be sealed, I'll take a look at other things first, and help you buy time to finish repairing the key - the permission of the repair room will open at eight o'clock tonight."

Podica nodded.

The baseball cap hung up the comms.

Podica breathed a sigh of relief—she hadn't had such emotional ups and downs in years, so much so that she remembered the horrors of the baseball cap after so many mistakes......

His code name in Sword of Kings is Odin.

He wouldn't forgive his subordinates for their mistakes, and she, because of them, lost two important things...... The Sword and the King –

Podica clenched her fists slowly.

Another communication connection was quickly picked up - by the time the other person's face lit up, Podica had returned to her normal mood.

"Ling Yao," she looked at the girl on the screen, "you must bring that prophet today." ”

Ling Yao's face on the screen did not change in the slightest: "Okay." ”
