At that moment, the two girls, who had lost their memories of the past, looked at their companions at the same time and saw a hint of worry in each other's eyes.

Although both of them wanted to regain their lost memories, after hearing Lin Yi's complaints, a shadow fell over their hearts.

People like March 7th, who have been suffering from amnesia for some time, are alright. At most, they worry countless times that their past is terrible.

But stars are different.

She had noticed last time on the Luofu Xianzhou that Kafka, a member of the Stellaron Hunters, clearly had some connection with her.

If the other person didn't act in a way that could be misunderstood, then perhaps in the past, you really did have an extremely close relationship with them.

According to rumors circulating outside, the Stellaron Hunters is probably not a good person.

If all these speculations and rumors are proven true, wouldn't that mean...?

—Could I have been a really bad guy in the past?

"However, despite all the complaints, I don't think my dad's current condition is beyond redemption."

Looking at the two people in front of her, Lin Yi suddenly said with a grin.

"He does have PTSD, but the state he is exhibiting now is simply male chauvinism and helping the weak."

"Although this often gets him into unnecessary trouble, and even leads him to actively participate in some extremely dangerous events, but..."

"Now I understand."

"Since no one can persuade him anyway, it's better to let him do it without any worries than to complain."

That's true, but...

Seeing Lin Yi's carefree demeanor, Xing's eyes immediately showed a hint of heartache.

"Xiao Yi, you're still worried about Lin Yu, aren't you?"

"Of course, my dad is getting more and more extreme in this regard, and the probability of him causing big problems is actually getting higher and higher."

Looking at this illusory yet incredibly beautiful dream world, Lin Yi's expression suddenly became extremely indifferent.

"But Dad's actions were undoubtedly helping others."

"In the future resulting from his actions, I think many people will be happy because of his help."

"I believe that what Dad did was absolutely right—as for making those around him worry, it's just an unavoidable trouble."

Sigh, as his daughter, I can't help my stinky dad with his worries—he won't let me get too involved in these troublesome matters either.

Now that things have come to this, all I can do is try to find ways to help my dad in other areas.

Now that I think about it carefully, my dad's desires for both saving people and having sex with them have become increasingly strong.

As his power grew stronger, so did Dad's desires...

Sigh, is this the common problem that inevitably arises when men become stronger?

Meanwhile, Audi Shopping Center

Near the Audi Shopping Center, Lin Yu, who had already split up with Himeko and Welt, began to wander around aimlessly, feeling bored.

Although the commotion he caused on Sunday was too big, Lin Yu would definitely like to get rid of the trouble he brought as soon as possible if given the chance.

But the time is not right yet.

Especially since Lin Yu had already provided information about the diamond, there was absolutely no need for him, who was currently not confident enough, to go and directly confront Sunday.

Although he felt very sorry for Mr. Sand Gold, who equated the cornerstone with his own life, Lin Yu decided to play the victim and let his ally offer up his strength now that someone was helping him pave the way and deplete Sunday's power.

Rather than launching a direct attack without any certainty, he felt it would be better to secretly find an opportunity to gather some information about Penacony and then try to figure out if he could launch a counterattack on Sunday.

Moreover, there was another reason why Lin Yu acted alone.

Even though a long time has passed since those battles, and Lin Yu has continued to grow stronger, he still considers himself a human being.

Lin Yu, who considers himself human, is physically much stronger than before, but his mental exhaustion still makes him think, "Damn it, everyone's on vacation, maybe I should just slack off for a couple of days."

Only...

You'll soon realize something.

[You, Lin Yu, are kind-hearted and can't bear to see others suffer. Therefore, when faced with these calamities and pains, you will definitely try to solve the problems and find the mastermind behind them as soon as possible, rather than lying down and taking a break.]

Oh, you're being impulsive again, aren't you?

Honestly, I didn't feel confident of winning against Sunday, so...

[So?]

You know what I'm trying to say—I'm so weak, Ah Tong, you should give me a reward.

[Come on, where are you weak? Right now, there aren't many people in the entire universe who can reliably beat you, besides the Star God.]

But this time I really feel that the situation is not good.

That's one way to put it, but the problem is—you ran into this yourself, so you can't blame Sunday.

Ultimately, neither Phantylia, nor Sunday, nor the Dream Master had any real reason to fight you.

While what they did was indeed wrong, the problem is—these things originally had nothing to do with you, but you actively got involved, so of course they can't be included in the 'survival crisis' calculation list.

[It's like when you were in Changkong City and suddenly started cursing Kallen in front of Otto —there's definitely a crisis, but actively seeking death doesn't count as a violation of this system's judgment.]

Well, yeah, I was just saying it offhand.

Just like when you casually joke around, I suddenly feel like—occasionally joking around can actually be kind of fun.

[Right—so when are you going to start sleeping with girls?]

That's it now! That's it now!

[Huh? Oh. So there really are people who can do that.]

"Let's do it, Lin Yu, now, right here!"

As their casual conversation came to an end, a figure rushed out of a small alley in a panic.

"She ran that way—grab her!"

Behind this figure, a group of the Hound Family called out to the girl they were chasing.

"Stop right there, you illegal immigrant!"

Seeing Firefly rushing towards him with a troubled expression, Lin Yu thought...

Sigh, those guys and girls behind you, you guys are really having a tough time.

When he first saw the plot, he thought the Hound Family had mistaken someone else for someone else.

Firefly gives off a very delicate feeling, and the idea that she is an illegal immigrant doesn't seem to come from her at all.

However, it turned out that these members of the Hound Family were not mistaken.

She really did sneak in illegally, and the person who was upholding the law got beaten up for no reason...

Thinking about this, Lin Yu suddenly began to consider whether he should get involved in this matter.

After all, he had already fallen out with the Stellaron Hunters, and according to Xiao Yi, the guy named Blade was also blown to bits by her last punch.

The relationship between the two sides has deteriorated to this point, so...

[Since they're already enemies! First *then *—you don't need to feel any psychological pressure!]

And now, having fallen to the bottom of poverty, you've suddenly realized something.

[Firefly, that is, Sam—this isn't just a silver-haired beauty, this is a walking 9.7 billion!]

[You know, Asta only spent fifty small goals at a time to thank you—she's worth twice that price, so why didn't you just buy her on the spot!]

Oh, I won it on the spot—wait, why do I feel like those guys behind me are looking at me strangely?

Looking at the man in front of her, whom she had seen in photos, Firefly paused for a moment before bracing herself and whispering to this villain who had tormented Kafka and Silver Wolf.

"No, I'm sorry! Please help me!"

Behind her, the members of the Hound Family, upon hearing Firefly's words...

According to normal procedures, they should have collected evidence before taking action.

But now the situation is urgent, and once these people get anxious, they naturally don't have the time or patience to follow the usual work procedures.

Upon seeing that Firefly seemed to have said something to Lin Yu, the leading male member of the Hound Family shouted to his colleagues behind him.

"Guys, she has accomplices!"

"Perfect! Take them all!"

Ugh, what kind of worldline convergence is this?

And now, I've discovered...

As the pursuing crowd approached, Lin Yu keenly sensed that at the exit of another alley, a gaze had already locked onto the street where a battle was about to erupt.

Although the opponent's concealment skills were excellent, the problem was that once Lin Yu directly activated the power of the Herrscher of Reason, no matter how well the opponent concealed themselves, they could not escape his consciousness and perception.

So Gallagher was able to show up so quickly because this guy had been hiding in the shadows the whole time.

Wait, no, let's think about it from another angle— the Firefly met me by such a coincidence, and the star core spirit met by such a coincidence in the original work. Isn't this really Gallagher's plan?

Now that I think about it, people from the Hound Family should have been a group of professionals.

They conflated the "silver guy" with the silver-haired guest because Firefly had silver hair.

That's so unprofessional.

Along the way, Lin Yu saw at least two or three people with silver hair.

Why is it that everyone else is fine, but Firefly one who got into trouble?

Now, Lin Yu felt he had understood.

In the original work, Gallagher calls himself a "Fictional Historian," and he is indeed a "fictional" person constructed by combining a thirteen-year-old dog that was once Mikhail's companion with a small part of the "real" from several other people.

Whether he was truly Fictional Historian or not, Lin Yu was not sure.

However, this guy reeks of lies. Even if he's not Fictional Historian, he's definitely connected to some mysterious force, and might even be able to use some abilities by borrowing the power of fate from the mysterious.

For example, the group of unlucky Hound Family members in front of Lin Yu who are now shouting for a fight, in Lin Yu's eyes they were probably 'tricked' by Gallagher at some point, which is why they chased after Firefly without saying a word and are now preparing to beat up Lin Yu.

This is a test of the nameless guest's character; hiding in the shadows, he can emerge at any time to resolve the commotion he's caused...

Sigh, you're the real jerk.

Seeing the unfortunate members of the Hound Family, Lin Yu finally decided to take action.

With his current strength and skills, incapacitating his opponent without harming their body is no more difficult than breathing.

Moreover, considering that Gallagher had tricked these unfortunate souls because of Lin Yu felt that since these people were already in such a miserable state, if he took action, he could at least ensure that they would only suffer superficial injuries.

Sorry, everyone.

While you're doing your jobs properly, now—don't blame me, blame your boss.

About five seconds later, as Firefly looked at the group of the Hound Family members lying on the ground, a chill ran down her spine.

Logically speaking, she shouldn't have any bad thoughts about the person who saved her.

However, considering that this man had messed with her best friends Silver Wolf and Kafka in succession, Lin Yu's 'hero saves the beauty' act at this moment turned into 'this man named Lin Yu is really scary' in Firefly eyes.

As the last of the Glamoth Iron Cavalry, she was actually far more formidable than her appearance suggested.

Even without the SAM armor, Firefly only appears weak in normal times—but if a fight breaks out, she can easily take down ordinary people with her combat skills alone, even without drawing her lightsaber.

It is precisely because she is an expert to a certain extent that she understands better than the average person that what Lin Yu is doing now is countless times more difficult than simply killing this group of people.

Of course, in Firefly's eyes, death did not exist in Penacony's dream; she was just using it as a metaphor.

However, from the moment they started until now, Lin Yu has not used the power of destiny or any other special energy during the battle. He has also been unarmed, without any of her special combat armor...

This guy was able to take down these people in seconds purely because his skills were ridiculously strong.

Combined with the descriptions of Kafka and Silver Wolf...

Ah, the strength that Mr. Lin Yu is showing now is probably even more terrifying than Kafka estimated.

She said last time that when Lin Yu was plotting against her, he was probably also preparing to plot against Phantylia at the same time.

Judging from the fact that the Immortal Boat later announced Phantylia's death in such a high-profile manner, Kafka judged that General Jing Yuan of the Divine Strategy Alliance would not joke about the prestige of the Xianzhou Alliance, so Phantylia was probably really gone this time.
