Whatever You Say

As their eyes met, sparks seemed to fly.

Lin Nieran smiled and said, "Everyone has worked hard; you did a great job."

Their eyes met.

"As long as Father is satisfied~"

Suddenly, Lin Nieran frowned as the 007 Little Ball, flashing a blinding red light, appeared in front of him.

[Host, why did I just receive the world prompt that someone in the protagonist group died?] 007 said in confusion [Is there something wrong with the program?]

007 had just bound a new host in another dimension and had just finished giving him a beginner's guide when it received a global alert. In a panic, it abandoned its new host and rushed over.

How could the Protagonist Group die at this time? Something must have happened to him.

Lin Nieran nodded. "Yes, that Sheng Qingqiao's death was a bit unexpected, but it doesn't matter. According to the original route, he was indeed going to die."

"It's just been brought forward, which is great."

007 A bolt from the blue.

What?! He's really dead?!

[Although this was the original route, it shouldn't have happened at this time! They can't handle this blow; they'll collapse!] 007 is about to collapse too.

[The original Protagonist Group first discovered Sheng Qingqiao's identity, learned about his abilities, and reconciled with him. Later, Sheng Qingqiao died because he saved Tao Yuan, so Tao Yuan, who had reservations about the supernatural, accepted Sheng Qingqiao's identity, went to find a way to resurrect him, and genuinely accepted him.]

[Now that Sheng Qingqiao has been killed by Qin Rang, and Qin Rang has been possessed by a strange entity, how can they possibly withstand these two events happening simultaneously?]

Everything is happening too hastily, the Protagonist Group will fall apart!!

"Tao Yuan only accepted him as a teammate because Sheng Qingqiao saved her. What does that mean? Is it moral blackmail?" Lin Nieran retorted.

[That's not the point! The point is he's dead!]

Lin Nieran ignored the bouncing ball system. Qin Rang being controlled by the Evil Ghost Mask was part of his plan. He needed a lure to lead them to the seaside.

But Sheng Qingqiao's death was indeed unexpected.

The Rules of that Weird Object Red Candle is to freeze time, and its fatal side effect is also freezing time.

The events unfolded too suddenly. The Red Candle was completely depleted by Qin Rang's energy, and the Rules fell upon Sheng Qingqiao. Along with the backlash came Qin Rang's attack.

In the blink of an eye, Sheng Qingqiao was destined to be unable to dodge this attack.

Did he truly not anticipate this possibility?

He should have known from the moment he lit the Red Candle that he might not be able to dodge Qin Rang's attack, but he still did it.

Next, in order to save Sheng Qingqiao, everyone will inevitably search for a way, eventually focusing on Luohai City.

In order to awaken Qin Rang, they will eventually travel to that Ocean Instance from the future, which should have been opened much later.

Coincidentally, the Ocean Instance also contained what he needed.

Something... that might save the world.

Although the system told him to assist the Protagonist Group in saving the world, it did not tell him the truth about the world's collapse.

He needs to personally investigate what problems have arisen in this world, what caused the Catastrophe, and how to turn things around.

Relying on the fragmented information provided by the system, he only understood the general outline and could distinguish which items were crucial, but knew very little about the real crisis lurking deep within.

If we're going to try to save them, we need to figure out the cause and effect first.

Luohai City is a crucial link in this cause-and-effect relationship.

I wonder what the environment is like over there. If he were to go, what excuse would he use?

Ignoring the system's continued harassment, Lin Nieran returned to the Boundless Land with his Vest.

Currently, only Moonlit Night and Wu Liang remain idle in the Boundless Land.

Since partnering with the Authorities, Lin Nieran has had no shortage of Points. These days, he's been feeding unwanted Weird Object to the system, Points have already reached nearly ten million.

Therefore, Moonlit Night was not in a hurry to kill monsters and earn Weird Object. Instead, she often helped Lin Nieran guard the Boundless Land and take care of each of the Vest who came back for a short rest.

He was, after all, one of the earliest Vest to arrive, so the other Vest couldn't say anything Bright Side him doing these things.

Incoming text?

Moonlit Night rightfully claims the title of "Number One".

Are you here to fight?

Night Moon is one of only two "SS" level anomalies.

Unable to win arguments or fights, they could only swallow their anger and temporarily admit defeat.

Wu Liang rushed back this morning just to spend a day with Lin Nieran, as he has to go back to work the next day.

His hospital is quite popular now, after all, his medical skills are top-notch.

Although he's a bit inhuman, Wu Liang is skilled and handsome. As long as he doesn't talk about Lin Nieran, his words and actions aren't much different from ordinary people. In the end, he earns more than Lin Nieran in a month, at the cost of being extremely busy.

In the hall, Wang sank into the soft sofa, comfortably holding the small dessert the Dessert Chef had left there, and asked, "Father, we've Bright Side cleared that strange realm. Now, where would be the best place to put our territory?"

Once you clear the Weird Instance, it will connect with reality. As long as the eerie creatures within the Instance survive, the power of the Weird Instance will continue to spread and expand outwards.

Lin Nieran leaned casually against the sofa and said, "Whatever you want. The Butler can decide. Butler's in charge of moving the Castle around anyway, just don't change locations too often."

The Butler bowed respectfully and said, "Master, rest assured, I understand."

Wang moved closer to Lin Nieran and invited, "Father, come visit the Castle sometime. It's so peaceful there now."

"I want to scare them again in a few days."

Lin Nieran was uncharacteristically silent for a moment. "Perhaps we shouldn't be in such a hurry, and give them some time."

Wang said, "Alright. I'll do whatever Father says."

"My Master, the tea is ready. Please have a taste."

Seeing Moonlit Night constantly moving closer to Lin Nieran, Yueye suddenly picked up her teacup, stood up, and squeezed herself down between Wang and Lin Nieran.

He didn't manage to squeeze past Lin Nieran, but he did force Wang to move aside to make room.

Wang's eyes turned cold, but Moonlit Night considerately handed Lin Nieran a cup of tea at the perfect temperature before turning to Wang: "Since you have Castle to stay in, why don't you go and live Castle? It's more convenient, and you'll feel more at home."

Hearing this, Lin Nieran turned to look at Wang, deliberately teasing him. "I think that's fine too. That's your home, and I'll support you if you want to move."

"That won't do," Wang immediately refused, looking pitiful. "The Castle is so dark and inconvenient. It's nowhere near as comfortable as the room Father prepared for me."

Lin Nieran teasing him and agreed.
