You must be sweating right now, bro Ai

And the person who caused all this trouble...

——Lin Yu!

That brat, he definitely did it on purpose!

"Wow, why are you staring at me like that?"

Seeing that the Gray Serpent clearly wanted to kill him, Lin Yu said helplessly.

"I remember you and Sakura had a pretty good relationship, which is why you let her younger sister come out to meet her older sister's old acquaintances."

"You don't understand my good intentions, and you're still glaring at me like that."

"Mr. Gray Serpent, I'm really a little sad about what you're saying."

You brought the Corrosion Herrscher to our main base, and you still have the nerve to say such things?!

If it weren't for the close relationship between Ling and Lin Yu, and the possibility that provoking Lin Yu might inadvertently provoke Ling, the administrator, Gray Serpent, would never have restrained his resentment today and would have directly used all the vulgar Shenzhou collected by Gray Serpent Network to greet Lin Yu in his native dialect.

But now...

Be patient, Gray Serpent, you must be patient!

"Alright, if Ling really wants to cause trouble, I'll keep an eye on her."

"As for now, you should just go do whatever you need to do."

Watching Lin Yu lead Ling towards the Elysian Realm, Gray Serpent, after confirming that the two had left before his eyes, immediately contacted Kevin.

"Gray Serpent, has Lin Yu entered Elysian Realm?"

Hearing Kevin's monotone words, Gray Serpent said to Kevin with utter helplessness.

"My Venerable Lord, Lin Yu has already reached Elysian Realm, but..."

"The Corrosion Herrscher from the Previous Era, Miss Sakura's Sister, Miss Rin, for some reason, has also appeared beside Lin Yu."

"I dare not provoke Miss Ling, so I can only let her and Lin Yu enter Elysian Realm together."

"Now, Your Venerable Lord, regarding Miss Ling's matter..."

"—What would be the most appropriate way for us to handle this?"

In the reception room of the main base, Kevin's hand holding the teacup visibly trembled as he listened to Gray Serpent's words.

Then, he looked at his close friend Su in front of him and gave Su a look that sought an answer.

Faced with Kevin's extension, Sue nodded decisively.

"Kevin, what Mr. Gray Serpent said is indeed true."

"Mr. Lin Yu and Ling have known each other for a long time, so you don't need to worry about that."

"At least when we met, I could feel that the hostility in Ling had dissipated a lot."

"If she can see Sakura in the Elysian Realm this time, perhaps it will be very meaningful for her..."

"--This should be considered a good thing, right?"

Chapter 312. Sweating profusely, aren't you? (Lao Ai)

Kevin certainly wouldn't forget the tragedy that Ling caused back then.

Kevin that time, although his combat power was already unparalleled, the Corrosion Herrscher was the kind of Herrscher could create large-scale disasters without engaging in direct combat with people.

Even with his near-invincible power, he still couldn't stop the corrupted Rin from completely extinguishing humanity's last hope.

That's why, even though Kevin trusted his best friend, some complicated thoughts inevitably arose in his mind.

In his view, what Ling did at the time was understandable.

The girl, who trusted her sister, was imprisoned in a cell and forced to endure treatment she didn't have to suffer. In the end, she even died at the hands of the Fire Moth warriors.

Others may know that this is a misunderstanding created by the 'commandments', but for the victim, she has lost her life.

However, while Kevin understands Bell, it doesn't mean he won't be completely unprepared for the Corrosion Herrscher.

If Kevin hadn't believed that Su and Lin Yu wouldn't do anything reckless, Kevin probably would have already rushed to the Elysian Realm and dragged Ling out.

"When exactly...?"

Kevin, who had intended to ask Lin Yu how he met Ling, suddenly gave up on that question and instead asked Su another question he was more interested in answering.

"Su, how much do you know about Lin Yu?"

Kevin saw new hope in Lin Yu, but if possible, he still wanted to hear his best friend's opinion.

Even if there are still subtle differences in their positions, on the premise that that matter is not involved, they must be each other's most trusted people at present, and it can even be said that they are the only ones who trust each other.

If it were Su, who is meticulous and has known Lin Yu for a longer time, she might reveal some crucial information that Kevin doesn't know.

"How much do you know...?"

After listening to his friend's question, Su thought for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile.

"Although I've known him for about a month longer than you, I don't know as much about him as you think."

"Where did Mr. Lin Yu get so much information, and where did he obtain these powers that are clearly different from our group of [Honkai Energy Warriors]? I have never asked him these questions, and he has also stated very directly that he does not want to talk about these things."

"As for other aspects, I can only say that he is probably the same type of person as you."

At this point, Su suddenly rubbed her brow wearily.

"You and he both have a troublesome trait."

"... What characteristics?"

"You want to take everything on yourself."

After saying that, Su said helplessly to Kevin.

"Of course I understand your sense of responsibility and beliefs, which compelled you to make the corresponding choices, but..."

Su wanted to say, "Let's rely on our companions a little more," but in the end, she couldn't bring herself to say it.

Although Su felt somewhat apologetic towards Lin Yu when they first met because of her forceful methods.

But after that, he could say that he hadn't wronged Lin Yu.

Unlike Lin Yu, Su felt guilty towards Kevin.

Whatever his thoughts were, he was always a traitor who betrayed the trust of his closest friend.

Even if Kevin wouldn't care about the matter, Sue couldn't possibly say something like that to her best friend who had once betrayed her, about 'relying on companions'.

"Yeah?"

Seeing Su's hesitant expression, Kevin suddenly spoke in a surprisingly relaxed tone.

"I think he's a bit like you."

"According to information sent back by our World Serpent staff within Schicksal, Lin Yu seems to have a lot on his mind."

"You and he are both like this, you want to do things to the extreme and you are unwilling to give up anyone who might be able to protect you. It is precisely because of this that you think about more details than others."

Sure enough, some of the spies that Mr. Gray Serpent planted still remained at headquarters.

However, Mr. Lin Yu must have known about this for a long time.

However, for Herrscher of Finality, he probably wouldn't bother with such trivial matters anymore.

"Ha, maybe."

Seeing the rare look of relaxation on Kevin's face, Su suddenly felt that it was all worth it just to see Kevin's expression today.

Now that I think about it, Kevin would only show this expression, which Sue hadn't seen in so long, when there was new hope and Sue, his old friend, was present.

"You're so relaxed, aren't you really worried about something happening to the Elysian Realm?"

"Well, right after I said those words, I realized that Lin Yu probably wouldn't do anything reckless."

"As for Rin... you already knew about her, yet you still brought her to the Elysian Realm. This means that in your eyes, she is now a harmless Herrscher."

"If my trust in Lin Yu was only this much, then I wouldn't have invited him into the Elysian Realm. As for these variables now..."

Kevin said with a touch of emotion after recalling the comrade who died before his eyes.

"Let Ling meet with her, and let Ling's resentment..."

"—Perhaps this will reduce the number a little."

Land of the Past. Internal

Once Lin Yu felt the dizziness disappear from his body and confirmed that he had arrived at the Land of Land of the Past Lin Yu, he immediately looked around.

After confirming that Ling had entered this special space with him, Lin Yu immediately shook Ling beside him.

"Hey, Ring, wake up."

Lin Yu, who was shaking the bell, saw that the bell was still dazed and did not give him enough feedback, so he immediately raised his right hand.

At that moment, Ling, who was still in a daze, suddenly felt a chill and, as if frightened, took several steps back.

"What are you planning to do?!"

Seeing the crimson light emanating from Lin Yu's right hand, Ling immediately spoke with extreme nervousness.

"I'm awake! Don't do anything rash!"

"Ah, this trick actually works."

Seeing that Ling had been startled awake by him, Lin Yu naturally dispelled the power that had been gathered in his hands.

"You..."

Looking at the boy in front of her, Ling asked Lin Yu with lingering fear.

What exactly were you planning to do just now?

"Oh, since you're still asleep, I'm going to try some stimulating physical therapy."

Physical therapy—you're just looking for an opportunity to slap me!

Damn it, isn't it just that we failed to catch the erosion of this era?

He probably thought I was slacking off, which is why he failed to catch that slippery guy.

How could this man be so narrow-minded!

As for Lin Yu, who was being relentlessly criticized by Ling, he certainly didn't intend to actually slap Ling twice right away.

He unleashed his killing intent and power purely to provoke Ling, while also testing whether the power he obtained from the system could be used in the Elysian Realm.

And now, he has found the answer.

Just like Lin Yu in the illusion and dream, he can also use these powers in this special space.

That makes things much easier.

"Alright, if you're not going to keep messing around—what are you going to do now?"

At this moment, Lin Yu, who was staring at Lin Yu, asked him very directly.

"You seemed to know this place before you even got here."

"Given your style, you would definitely prepare a countermeasure based on the intelligence you have beforehand."

"Ah, I think you overestimate me."

Having now withdrawn his power, Lin Yu glanced around at his surroundings and shrugged helplessly.

"You'll get lost if you just wander around here. If we don't use any special methods, it'll take us half a day just to get around."

"Hmm—so you've already come up with a solution, haven't you?"

"Certainly."

At this moment, Lin Yu suddenly patted Ling on the shoulder and said to her earnestly.

"To put it bluntly, this place is just a memory space. No matter how mysteriously it is described, it will only be naturally restrained by your power of erosion."
