The Temptation to Return to the Elysian Realm. / Defeat Them One by One.

"Yes, he is the captain of the Hyperion, and I am a crew member."

"Does Delta like him?"

"..."

Delta didn't answer. She wasn't that pretentious, but she was still a little shy about admitting it herself.

"But Lin and Sister Bronya, Seele and Kiana are lovers."

Delta turned his head and stared at Lilia like a dead man.

Did she hear that right?

Lin and... are lovers. Can the ellipsis be used to fill in the names of three people?

"Hehe! As long as Master Delta is willing to teach us, we'll help you win over Lin, how about it?"

Rozaliya offered a deal that was impossible to refuse.

Delta crossed her arms and said calmly, "I don't want to."

She refused.

"What a coincidence, the three of us look quite alike... Are you twins?"

Theresa awkwardly greeted Yue and Stargazer, but Yue didn't even glance at her, only staring at Lin, which made her feel a little embarrassed.

Stargazer shook his head. "It's no coincidence. I am an isomer of you and was once named Theresa. As for her... you can call her Moon or Moon Underneath. She and I are not sisters."

"Huh? So, we're actually the same person?"

Theresa had never encountered anything like this before. During her own creation as an experimental subject, she had seen many other test subjects similar to herself, but to find a truly identical person was something else entirely...

Wait a minute, what's that guy doing collecting so many Theresa on his ship? Is he some kind of Theresa fanatic?

Theresa shuddered violently at the thought.

"Excuse me, I'd like to ask what your relationship is with Lin?"

Theresa maintained her fake smile and asked the Moon Underneath Stargazer.

"The person who will accompany us throughout our lives."

"Spouse."

The two men's answers, one long and one short, caused Theresa to look at the still-sleeping man with utter terror.

"Tsk, what on earth is he up to?!"

Mobius stood with her hands on her hips, looking up at the steps that seemed like a mountain compared to her height, and complained unhappily about someone who wasn't there.

"He's probably thinking of some bad idea again."

Another of Mobius's rare comments echoed, "I have to admit that his brain is very useful when it comes to dealing with enemies; it's very unpleasant to be treated as an enemy by him."

Mobius had only seen Lin's action records and had never seen him fight the enemy in person, but she could clearly sense that Lin was more at ease when fighting enemies stronger than him. Moreover, to Lin, this group of people was like standing naked in the snow.

Moreover, his opportunism often allows him to seize the key in desperate situations, even when he is already so badly injured that he can hardly move.

If there are many people in this world who are born to fail at crucial moments, then he is probably a born hero.

... No, no, that's not right.

Mobius shook her head vigorously. Why would she give that idiot such high praise? Calling him a hero was so out of character for her.

As a result, when she turned her head, she saw another Mobius shaking his head.

The two exchanged a glance, then both snorted coldly and turned their heads away.

"Raiden Mei, you've been inside there. What's inside?"

Kevin crossed his arms and asked Mei.

"Huh? You guys haven't been inside? I remember Chrono said..."

"What I mean is that everyone who went in there has some mental issues."

Before Chrono could finish speaking, Mei impatiently interrupted, "Lin said that the things inside are some useless, chaotic memories, but I don't know what form they take."

Mei sighed helplessly and, under everyone's gaze, began to explain, "Those are indeed Lin's chaotic memories. He said that his past memories were too messy, always missing some and having more, and were implanted and then deleted. So what you see in there are some of his false experiences and some of his real experiences."

Mei saw Lin Xujia's childhood memories inside, while Raven saw his real high school experiences, but in the end, he was also disturbed by the chaotic memories.

"So he's planning to use the complicated environment inside to deal with us?"

Kosma believed he had grasped the key.

"Brother Lin... is he really planning to deal with us?"

Pardo twitched her ears, then smoothed the head of her other self next to her. "I think there must be some misunderstanding..."

Hua shook his head. "No, Lin is a man of his word, it shouldn't be a misunderstanding."

"No matter what, we'll know once we go in and see for ourselves."

The two Cherry blossoms exchanged a glance. They were very much in sync. Perhaps it was because their years of sword practice had given them excellent temperaments. Even in this situation, they seemed to be the same person.

Sakura is right. Staying outside is pointless except for guessing. Now that things have come to this, even if we don't want to go in, we have to.

So Mei took a deep breath and took the lead, becoming the first to step into the anchor point.

That's how it is.

After Lin told Elysia everything, the pink-haired girl pondered for a moment, then smiled brightly.

"Lin, what do you think that deal between that person and Kevin will be?"

Why would you care about this first?

Lin shook his head. "I don't know, but Kevin wouldn't just let two people into the Imaginary Tree. They must have given Kevin something very important and promised not to do anything to the Imaginary Tree."

"Hehe, let me guess..."

The girl approached Lin in a flirtatious yet respectful manner, just as before, and whispered in his ear.

"What?"

Lin didn't hear what Elysia said clearly, but he felt a warm current gently caress his ear.

But the girl had already returned to her seat, smiling happily at him.

"Nothing much."

"..."

Never mind, he'll ask Kevin to verify it himself later. Let's finish what we need to do now.

"By the way, Lin, when were you originally planning to come back?"

"Let's wait until it's all over."

Lin spoke calmly.

The girl's bright eyes seemed to see right through him. "But you weren't even sure if you could come back alive, so you left a part of your consciousness in the Imaginary Tree, right?"

"I've set an anchor point; my consciousness will return here."

Elysia reached out and touched Lin's face, who instinctively flinched away, and looked him in the eye earnestly.

"Lin, you haven't broken this habit even after 50,000 years. I couldn't tell before because you were wearing a helmet, but now that you're not wearing one, you subconsciously hide your eyes when you lie. I can tell!"

No wonder she's the woman who wrote the book that interprets Lin's thoughts based on the indicator lights on the helmet.

"Which girls have you kissed over the years?"

Her intelligent eyes narrowed, and she pretended to sniff Lin's body. "Three... um... no, four cute girls."

"..."

This time, Lin remembered it and kept her eyes fixed on the screen.

For some reason, he felt flustered, or rather... guilty, in front of Elysia.

Perhaps it was in the Previous Civilization, at the very end, he made an irresponsible confession and then did that kind of thing.

He understood that he had indeed carried out his plan without regrets, but Elysia had a different feeling.

Now, Lin's once sharp and cold gaze has melted away, and he doesn't even dare to confess to Elysia what happened between him and other girls during this time.

That's terrible, and he's such a scumbag.

"Um... Lin, have you been with other girls...?"

Lin's heart was pounding.

Chapter Thirty-Three: Taking them down one by one.

"Did you eat something delicious with other girls?"

Elysia seemed to see through Lin's outward strength but inner weakness, and changed the subject, her playful eyes narrowing into crescent shapes.

"You must have eaten something delicious behind my back, right?"

"Hmm... Ah."

Lin hurriedly answered Elysia's question. Although he didn't know if he had just fooled her or if Elysia was just being understanding, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, Mei and the others had also entered the area, and Lin silently stood up under Elysia's smiling gaze.

"Lin, will there ever be a day when it all ends?"

"I couldn't see that kind of hope before."

Lin turned around. "Things are different now..."

"What happened?"

After entering the door, Mei expected to see the chaotic memories from last time again, but this time she found herself in an unexpected place.

"Here it is..."

Su, who was usually calm and collected, changed her expression drastically as soon as she entered, and her eyes widened. Kevin, who followed her, also twitched his icy face.

Because this place holds indelible memories for them.

Before Lin carried out his plan at the end of the Previous Civilization, in order to regain his memories and leave the memories of the Thirteen Heroes in the Imaginary Tree, Lin and Spasi, before he lost his memory, planned a vacation together on a deserted island.

Now, everyone finds the deserted island familiar, even though a considerable amount of time has passed.

Mei, who possessed Lin's memories, naturally knew where she was. She immediately revealed a strange expression and looked at the crowd whose expressions had changed to varying degrees.

After all, this was the first time they had truly experienced someone's perverse sense of humor.

"Hello... testing the sound..."

At this moment, the loudspeakers buried all around sounded again, and Lin's cold voice, tinged with a hint of laziness, addressed the crowd. "I believe you have already realized that what you are standing on is the 'Raven Island' you visited before. And what you need to do next is the same as before: find three 'treasures'. Once you find them, everything will be over."

Do you think we'll do what you say we want?

Mei frowned and said, "Everything will be over once I find you."

"Of course, give it a try."

Lin didn't say much, and disappeared after leaving those words.

Mei snorted coldly. She had learned a lot from being pranked by Lin countless times in the Imaginary Tree. Following his train of thought would only make her sink deeper and deeper.

Then she turned her head and saw that everyone was looking at her with the same eyes, as if to say, "You go first, you go first."

... Do these guys have such a strong psychological trauma from this place?

Perhaps feeling for the first time that she was ahead of this group of extraordinary people, Mei took the lead and walked into the dense jungle of Raven Island.

"Are you that scared...?"

After taking only two steps, Mei sensed something was wrong. She turned around abruptly, only to find that there was nothing behind her. The large group of people from before had vanished without a trace.

A cold wind blew from the woods, like a giant beast devouring people, breathing out cold air in the shadows.
