Chapter 450

"It's not that I need to see her for anything, but she made an appointment to meet me, but she hasn't shown up yet, so I'm looking for her... Don't be silent, if you don't know, you can just tell me."

Judging from Kevin's expression, Mei knew he was going to stay silent. Anyway, she didn't expect to get any useful information from Kevin. Kevin seemed to be choked up. It was really hard for her not to say that he didn't need to know.

"Excuse me, visitor. Elysia ... she seems to be in some trouble."

In the end, it was Su, with her gentle nature, who eased the atmosphere again. The Herrscher of Thunder was a sharp-tongued person, and even Kevin couldn't get along with her. In addition, with Shen Gonglin by her side, she seemed to be acting somewhat fearless.

She has temporarily... disappeared.

Even without opening her eyes, Su could sense Mei casting her gaze over her. Flame-Chasers, with his eyes closed, silently organized his thoughts for a moment before uttering these ambiguous words. "Gone." What did that mean?

"Gone? What does that mean? Did she deliberately hide, or...?"

If you don't understand, you should ask. It's not shameful to be unclear about things in this Elysian Realm, because they all speak like riddles. How did Elysia disappear? How could someone as big as her just disappear?

"Oh... it seems this little guinea pig is still in the dark. Is Su's language always so hard to understand? Let me translate it for you. The woman you're looking for... she's dead."

Mobius became sarcastic, and her words sent a chill down Mei's spine. It was as if the light had vanished. Laughter and cheers drifted from afar, reminding Mei of Elysia. Mei always smiled like that, even when she said goodbye—eternal, flawless... yet like a dream.

[If one day, simply pulling the trigger on me like this could save the lives of many... Kevin, what would you do?]

Kevin didn't speak, but the words inexplicably flashed through his mind: a person's character is their destiny, and this applies to everyone.

"Wait a minute, I need to talk to Mobius... What do you mean by that? What do you mean Elysia is dead?"

Somewhat confused by the snake girl's words, given her consistently sarcastic tone, Shen Gonglin silently sought the truth and decided to have a private conversation with Mobius.

Grabbing Mobius's wrist, Shen Gonglin pulled her aside, a move that surprised Aponia and the others. They hadn't expected Mobius to be so obedient; she didn't even seem to be thinking of resisting. This...

"This is really unexpected. Mobius has this side to him... Now let's continue with our plan. Kevin, do you need any advice?"

Turning her gaze away from Mobius, she seemed to have been reprimanded and was now giving a detailed explanation to Shen Gonglin with her head slightly lowered. They should now do what they needed to do and figure out what was going on with Elysia first.

"Keep waiting."

The white-haired man said coolly, but such behavior was not suitable for him. Aponia seemed to be able to see through Kevin's heart; he seemed to be hesitating.

"Indecisiveness is not your style. Kevin... even you don't know what to do, do you?"

"It's not that complicated, Aponia. In this situation, I only have one request, the Elysia entrusted to you..."

The Flame-Chasers were talking again, oblivious to everyone else. Shen Gonglin pulled Mobius aside to talk to him, since they were the only ones who could provide her with information. Mei interrupted their conversation, as Mei was also confused by their lack of information and felt it was better to keep the conversation under her control.

"Before you continue your discussion, I have one more question. Elysia is dead. Can you explain to me what that means?"

Mei's gaze was fixed on Kevin, but before he could speak, Aponia shook her head. If Mei could predict what he was going to say, how could Flame-Chasers, who had spent so much time with him, not know?

"You'd better not press him for answers, Mei. What he's about to say is definitely... it has nothing to do with you."

The pretty girl was speechless. She had guessed it herself, but that didn't mean she shouldn't have asked. Mei: "I could have guessed it too, but that doesn't mean it's pointless to ask."

"Is that so? But there's really no need to rush. Su... isn't he still verifying the truth of the matter?"

Aponia glanced at Su, who remained silent beside her, as if their conversation had nothing to do with him. This Flame-Chasers had been sitting there quietly since the beginning. What was he doing?

"Aponia, what did you just say to him? He's been like that ever since."

If you don't understand, you should ask. Mei has good character that people in the Elysian Realm don't have. What is he doing?

"Ah... Before that, I noticed some unusual activity in the Elysian Realm. It was a kind of... how should I put it, a kind of emptiness that I couldn't ignore. So I asked Su to observe it for me."

She told Mei what she had asked Su to do, but these words were not enough to convince Mei, because of what had happened before, she did not trust Aponia completely.

"Can't you do this yourself?"

Aponia is the best psychic Flame-Chaser, so why did she specifically ask Sue for help?

"Mei, perception is indeed easy for me; but if it's about tracing back, the owner of the Second Divine Key is more suitable. If I were to do it myself, the scope would only expand by a great deal. It might even... prevent us from talking like we are now."

Aponia slowly revealed the reason. Well... how to put it... although she said a lot, Mei still didn't quite understand the true meaning. In short, she was saying that if she were to investigate, it would involve many things, something Su was good at. Mei roughly understood then, and what she needed to know now was...

"So, what was the result?"

"Elysia ...she has completely vanished from the Elysian Realm."

Chapter 173

Disappeared? What does that mean? Is it the same as what Mobius said earlier...? Mei glanced back at Mobius, who was still talking to Shen Gonglin. The Mobius girl had already stood on the ground from the aircraft she had been sitting in. At this moment, she was bowing her head slightly, like a stupid student being scolded by the headmaster. Could it be what Mobius said earlier?

Also, when did Shen Gonglin become so intimidating to Mobius? It's frightening that someone with her mischievous personality would act like this.

"Disappeared... In the past 50,000 years, has there never been a case of memory disappearing here?"

This situation might happen frequently, drawing attention back to this matter. Elysian Realm has existed for a long time; is this the first time such an accident has occurred?

"Yes, this is indeed the first time. Not wanting to appear and annihilating without a trace are different things, and... let's wait for Su to give the results first."

She hesitated to speak, perhaps worried that other situations might interfere with Mei's judgment. Aponia stopped talking, suggesting that it was better to wait for Su to give a conclusion. Mei accepted her suggestion. At this moment, Su's brow twitched slightly, and the feeling of being one with the environment slowly disappeared. Mei understood that this meant Su had returned.

Did I disturb you?

Flame-Chasers is no ordinary person; perhaps he has a similar experience to when you were listening to MP3s and disturbed me. Maybe you disturbed Su beforehand? In any case, Mei spoke first.

"It's you...the visitor. No, I've just encountered some obstacles. Visitor, did you encounter the abandoned data from the Elysian Realm with Klein before?"

Slowly shaking his head, Su Mei raised this question, not understanding the significance of him suddenly bringing it up. However, facing Flame-Chasers, who had helped her so much, Mei still did not harbor any ill intentions.

"Discarded data...indeed. And I was able to get out of it thanks to Klein's help back then."

"Is that so... No problem, visitor. Although it may be a bit abrupt, could you please lend me your assistance? I am trying to trace Elysia's whereabouts from the vast information flow in the Elysian Realm... However, over the course of 50,000 years, the undisputed data has become far too cumbersome. This stagnation may cause me to miss a good opportunity to discover clues."

He told Mei his request: this job already required his full attention, and he needed Mei's assistance to make the work more efficient.

"You want me to... destroy that data that's no longer meaningful?"

Mei understood Su's meaning—she wanted her to create an antivirus software. However, Mei was a little worried that deleting meaningless data might lead to false positives, as antivirus software had left a bad impression on Mei. In her memory, no antivirus software was ever easy to use.

I had only bought that one book online, but it started sending me tons of pop-up links. In the end, my antivirus software even crashed my computer. When Bronya finally fixed it for me, she gave me a meaningful look.

Mei, you're in great health.

These unpleasant memories made Mei's complexion turn pale; if she could, she really wanted to forget them.

"That's right. Since you've had contact with them before and wield the authority of Herrscher ... then at this moment, we have no one more suitable than you."

"So... even now, you still haven't found any trace of Elysia?"

Mei realized that he needed her help, which meant that Elysia was still nowhere to be found. Mei keenly grasped the meaning behind his words, and Sue responded as well.

"Yes, but from what I've seen before, it's less than half of the data from the Elysian Realm."

So, does this mean that Elysia's whereabouts might be hidden among the remaining half? Mei nodded. She had no reason to refuse such an invitation. Rather than having someone else do everything and tell her the result, Mei wanted to draw her own conclusion.

"Then what do I need to do?"

"I will continue to trace within the effective area of the Elysian Realm. This time, you will also travel with me through the data stream. If any abandoned data appears, please destroy it before I can actually perceive it."

"I will do my best."

"I am extremely grateful."

Mei was told what she needed to do, and it didn't sound too difficult. Mei nodded in agreement. At the same time, Shen Gonglin came over and questioned Mobius thoroughly. However, Mebius didn't know the specifics either. Shen Gonglin even thought that Mebius was the culprit again.

"The total amount of discarded data is ultimately limited; they are unnecessary and impossible to completely erase. As long as I am not disturbed too much, that's enough. When it's over, we will return here safely. Do you need to make any further preparations?"

Mei was given time to prepare, and during this time Shen Gonglin Mei the situation. Undoubtedly, he would be with her. After listening, Shen Gonglin nodded as if he understood.

"Oh, so you mean we need to go on a killing spree?"

At this moment, Shen Gonglin was like a gamer who hadn't seen the game's background or missions; he knew nothing but that he had to go on a killing spree!

"Alright, let's get going."

Mei had no objection to Shen Gonglin's conclusion. Mei nodded to Su, and the next moment, she and Shen Gonglin arrived in a dark purple space, which looked as if it had been corrupted by something.

"Su, is this the place?"

Flame-Chasers was also by their side. Mei was ready for battle. This was the database of Eternal Elysium.

"Well, after that, I must devote all my attention to searching for data in the Elysian Realm. As for other troubles... please reject them all for me."

After explaining the tasks to Mei and Shen Gonglin, Su began her work, and at that moment, a conversation reached Mei and Shen Gonglin's ears.

"That's all? Is that really a reason? Of course I know they risked their lives... but aren't we the same? What makes them special? Just because they were luckier? Surviving after becoming those monsters?"

"Special?... Uh, do you know Kosma? One of those thirteen Flame-Chaser, he..."

Are these... remnants of Previous Era?

Chapter 174

Amidst this fragmented data, a lot of information rushed into Mei's mind, but none of it could form a complete fragment. This not only failed to provide Mei with complete data, but also caused her to feel a headache. Shen Gonglin, on the other hand, did not have this worry. His mind remained clear, and he felt as if he had seen something.

In the vast expanse of space, Kevin and Hua stood in front of each other. Kevin helped a fallen person up again. That person was... Chakravartin?

Before Shen Gonglin could investigate further, the surrounding situation became dangerous. The discarded data that Su had mentioned earlier suddenly resurfaced, and they manifested as enemies like these, only more dangerous than in normal battles.

"Mei, be careful, there's something slightly wrong with this quantity."

Protecting the headache- Mei behind her, Shen Gonglin conjured a long sword and began the battle. The enemies here were much stronger than those she usually encountered, but they didn't seem to have any intention of attacking all at once. Was it because Su hadn't retrieved the next part yet? It seemed that Su really needed Mei's help.

If he were distracted by these things while he was focused on his research, he would definitely be unable to continue any work, no matter what it was.

"Shen Gonglin, let me do it."

With her headache subsiding, Mei wanted to take over from Shen Gonglin, but Jingu Shen Gonglin had no intention of letting her take the field. Although Mei was sure she could handle it, it was clearly better for her to do it herself.

"It's alright. This is the most convenient way to deal with this kind of clustered enemy: permanent air-to-air harassment..."

With her pinkish-white wings spread, Shen Gonglin was about to aim at the group of enemies in front of her when a bone-chilling cold suddenly spread from somewhere. All the surrounding enemies were frozen into ice sculptures, and then cracks spread across the ice sculptures. The enemies in front of her were wiped out in an instant. Only that one person could use such a method.

Shen Gonglin looked to the other side with great displeasure. She had clearly prepared her strength, but he had stolen the kill. She should have gone and blown him up.

"You may all step back... Is this over?"

After clearing out all the surrounding enemies, Kevin, the first of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers, walked over. Looking at the wreckage on the ground, Mei once again realized the gap between herself and him. This man was indeed very strong. If she were to do it, she would definitely not be able to achieve such results.

"It wasn't there just now, but now... indeed. How did you get here?"

Rin, who was planning to give Kevin a piece of her Shen Gonglin, was pulled over. Mei was a little curious about Kevin's presence here. Did Sue call him over to help? But if that were the case, why would she be called over? Mei didn't think there was any need for her to take action with Kevin around.

"Aponia said help is needed here."

Kevin's response was as brief and effective as ever, and Sue also temporarily stopped her exploration. Although she didn't open her eyes, she could still sense Kevin's arrival.

"Kevin? I see..."

"Su, what was the result?"

Without saying anything more to Mei, Kevin went straight to asking about Sue's progress. Mei seemed to sense a hint of urgency in Kevin. Was it just her imagination? Could this man also have such emotions?

"I have searched all the data in the Elysian Realm ... Not only did I find nothing, but there was also a flaw in Sakura's data. The data that constitutes her body has now disappeared without a trace; however, she left some traces, which were accidentally preserved. In other words, she did not disappear as completely as Elysia, but... she is also in a state of being untraceable."

She shared the information she had gathered with Kevin, Mei, and the others, but instead of making any progress, things seemed to be getting more confusing. Not only Elysia, but even Sakura... Mei lowered her head in thought, sensing that something bad was happening in the Elysian Realm. Elysia ...

"I understand. Let's leave here first."

Kevin said this, and Sue nodded, leading everyone back to the Elysian Realm. What to do next? No one had a clue.

Elysia, what happened to her? Could she be in danger? If it were something that could be handled, that person would never break their promise. Now she's completely gone. Su said that the entire Elysian Realm database can't find any trace of her. It's as if she never existed, vanished without a trace, irretrievable.

In the Elysian Realm, Mei and Shen Gonglin sat to one side, while the Flame-Chasers over there were having some kind of conversation. They had been talking for almost an hour, but still hadn't come to any conclusion. Unable to wait any longer, Mei stood up and went over. She wanted to know what plan they had come up with.

"In other words, this matter can now be confirmed. Elysia... she has indeed left."

As soon as Mei arrived, she heard Aponia say that Elysia was dead. Mei's expression was inscrutable. If it weren't for Aponia's rather sad expression, she would have said something in return. Couldn't this guy say something nice?

"Ha. Unnecessary. What, is accepting reality so hard for you? Back then... why didn't you show this expression now?"

The Mobius girl, as always, began to mock him. She seemed unaffected by the atmosphere, her whole being still exuding an aura of wanting to cause trouble. How hypocritical!

An hour has already passed. Are they going to continue this pointless argument? Hearing the Flame-Chasers' conversation, Mei began to hesitate whether she should investigate alone with Shen Gonglin. This rabble didn't resemble Flame-Chasers at all, and to unite them...

Mei looked at the only person who was still qualified. Apart from Elysia herself, only he could make these independent Flame-Chasers obey him, even if only temporarily.

"Alright. Let's leave this matter here for now."

Kevin finally spoke, finally demonstrating Flame-Chasers leadership. He had remained silent for the past hour, and as the first person to speak, his words silenced the others' arguments. Only Mobius still wanted to stir things up; even facing Kevin, she couldn't resist continuing her mockery.
