"Bang! Bang!" Two loud explosions rang out, and the Thousand-Dimensional Eye in the sky was struck and sent flying several times. The captain, holding a high-tech weapon, stood at the doorway, glancing at the ship and saying, "Get on board, the Christopher is setting sail!"

Tian Lan let out a breath and rushed into the spaceship, with Xiao Lan following closely behind. However, as she rushed into the spaceship, she felt You Qiying bump into her. Turning around, she saw You Qiying's apologetic smile, but she didn't mind and walked into the spaceship.

Then the spaceship's hatch closed, the protective force field activated again, You Qiying withdrew his inner demons. Outside the spaceship, Salted Fish desperately kicked another of the vice-captain's confidants who was holding his leg tightly.

"Hey! Don't leave me behind! This isn't going to be my last line, is it?!" Salted Fish shouted frantically, but the airship that had taken off could no longer hear his cries.

Seeing the snake people and the Thousand-Dimensional Eye surrounding him, Salted Fish chuckled, wanting to say something, when the scene suddenly rose, and a miserable scream rang out.

"Ah!!" That was the last sentence.

"Have we forgotten something?" Tian Lan held the cup, quickly replenishing his own water. In his final escape, he had even used some of his blood to turn into steam, and now even the hand holding the cup was trembling.

"Perhaps!" You Qiying tidied his clothes and hair in an orderly manner, restoring himself to his most perfect state. Tian Lan wondered if it was just her imagination, but she suddenly felt that he was in a good mood.

That makes sense. After all, the dungeon is almost complete by now, so it's perfectly normal to be happy. The spaceship's protective field flashed, and after withstanding several attacks, it charged directly towards the central tower.

The central tower was enormous; even a spaceship would appear as small as a bird to a human before it. After enduring several spells, the spaceship broke through the wall at the top of the tower and rushed inside. There, in the room at the top of the tower, was a huge sphere of light. Inside that huge sphere of light were many unpredictable phantoms, radiating boundless light.

The light emitted by the sphere made the people on the spaceship feel somewhat uncomfortable. After all, they had been in the Shadow Kingdom for a long time and had become somewhat accustomed to that environment. However, they didn't have time to think about it. The spaceship rushed directly into the sphere of light and disappeared instantly.

In a pitch-black environment, with some black, lava-like substance on the ground, a spaceship appeared out of thin air. The crew, suppressing their nausea, shook their heads. All of the spaceship's outgoing sensors had been taken over, so the spaceship could only rely on its own searchlights and radar scanning equipment to explore its surroundings.

The spaceship's protective force field suddenly flickered, and some alarms inside the spaceship sounded. The cause was quickly discovered: the environment here was extremely harsh, with not only terrifying pressure, high temperature, and radiation, but also a large amount of unknown energy. If a way out was not found within ten minutes, the spaceship's protective force field would be directly eroded and broken, and the entire spaceship would not be spared.

The players inside could only smile wryly. They could fight the snake people to the death, but when it came to finding a way out of this spaceship, they really had no way to do anything but place their hopes on the crew of the Christopher.

Afterwards, Tian Lan roughly calculated the number of people. This mission, including the captain, scribe, navigator, and others, could provide 2,300 Game Points per move, which was quite good.

"What exactly did I forget?" Tian Lan suddenly frowned, feeling a sense of unease. Logically speaking, the completion rate of this mission should have been quite high. Although she lost a Salted Fish, it was just a loss; the players were all concerned about life and death.

"Hmm? Moose, did you use this rabbit as a clone before?" Tian Lan's eyes suddenly lit up when she saw the Moose holding a rabbit with a fluorescent effect, and there were some bloodstains on the rabbit's body.

"That's right. I didn't expect the rabbits here to be so resilient. They're perfect for my possession." The Moose smiled, squinting its eyes, and stroked the rabbit's fur.

Tian Lan glanced at You Qiying, who was eating seriously, whistled, and said, "Do you think they can find the exit? If they can't, we only have less than ten minutes left?"

"So?" the Moose asked with a smile.

"So you don't want anything to happen?" Tian Lan pressed her advantage, moving closer to the Moose with a charming smile. "What do you think of me?"

"If you cut off the bottom, I might be interested." The Moose gave Tian Lan a knowing smile, making her expression stiffen. Then, she said listlessly, "I hate you lesbians the most. Resources are already scarce, and you not only waste them yourself, but you also have to compete with us for them."

"How could I have fallen for you..." Tian Lan said, suddenly feeling that something was very wrong. The feeling of forgetting something was very obvious, as if she could remember it if she just tried hard enough.

"Found it!!" Suddenly, a burst of cheers interrupted Tian Lan's thoughts. Turning her head, she saw everyone on the Christopher cheering. The spaceship was traversing a wide passageway, and the ship's alarms were slowly fading. Finally, after flying for several tens of minutes, the spaceship burst out of the passageway and appeared in space.

Tian Lan heard the game notification that the dungeon was complete. She smiled slightly, but her heart was filled with a feeling of extreme irritation. She turned around and saw the Moose disappear into the spaceship. On the other side, An Jing also smiled slightly and then disappeared in a white light.

Tian Lan patted her forehead, her eyes darting around. What had she forgotten? Her memory had always been excellent; it wasn't like she possessed the ability to An Jing and force people to not see things... Wait a minute!

"Xiao Lan!" Tian Lan's eyes flickered, as if breaking through some kind of barrier, and he remembered something he had forgotten. Xiao Lan had clearly followed him into the spaceship, but why couldn't he remember her at all after entering the spaceship? He even focused on the Moose as his target?

Tian Lan turned around and saw Xiao Lan lying on the ground with a hole in her chest, from which blood was flowing continuously. Tian Lan's eyes widened. Beside Xiao Lan's hand, there was a phone number and a name written in blood. A sense of self-blame rose in Tian Lan's heart.

"Wait, this modus operandi!" Tian Lan looked at the bloody hole in Xiao Lan's chest and remembered the commission he had recently received from the Red Light Faction. In the serial murder case, there was one that was exactly the same as this one.

"Is it An Jing?" Tian Lan bit her lip, quickly surveyed the scene, hesitated for a moment, then picked up Xiao Lan's body and disappeared in a flash of white light.

You Qiying woke up in her bedroom, biting her nails as she stood in front of the bathroom glass, fixing her hair and a slight smile playing on her lips. The Lonely Bomb, a technique created by combining her inner demons with her skills, could make the person planted with the bomb forgotten by everyone. Of course, as long as others genuinely remembered her, they would quickly recall her. As long as someone remembered the forgotten one, the bomb would stop.

Furthermore, this skill can only be used on women. Those who have been implanted with the bomb have a certain chance to save themselves, but unfortunately, Xiao Lan didn't seize it, nor did Tian Lan.

"I just want a peaceful life!" You Qiying to herself in the mirror.
