Promise

Falusi is dead.

We will all die.

Banana's graceful figure and the tears glistening in her bright eyes—as a 'document,' she had no emotions, but combined with the personality she had replicated, she now felt a kind of emotion called 'sadness.'

On one side of Qin Yiguan's body, his jacket was undergoing some illogical transformation. The black fabric was dissolving little by little, then turning into blue code, drifting and floating, and finally disappearing completely as if it could not find its home.

Fine cracks appeared on Qin Yiguan's cheeks, and a small piece of skin peeled off, fluttering in the air before shattering into blue code.

Qin Yiguan's feelings were very clear.

This doesn't feel like the time when I 'logged offline' and my body returned to 'reality'.

Rather, they are like lost souls, left to fend for themselves, destined to perish on their own.

"That's the power of Rotten Man)."

"He can kill everyone using this method."

Qin Yiguan's face darkened. "Falusi knew this would happen, which is why she perished along with the Rotten Man. Otherwise, we would have been wiped out even faster, and we might all be dead by now. This was the Lantern Bearer's battle plan."

"But."

"Even Falusi Sacrifice herself to buy us time."

"The outcome seems unlikely to change, and I can only watch helplessly."

One-fifth of Qin Yiguan's body had already dissipated.

One-fifth of him vanished into nothingness.

Even his consciousness was fragmented and incomplete.

Before him, there was a piece of code floating out from his body, crystal clear, reflecting Qin Yiguan's face.

The shadowy figures of Guardian still lingered around Qin Yiguan's body.

However, the ability to Guardian grants Qin Yiguan personal defensive capabilities, which is not applicable in this situation.

This is what the Lantern Bearer meant when he said, "Rotten Man can kill you."

Suddenly.

The Guardian's head abruptly and eerily spun 180 degrees backward.

Qin Yiguan's eyes narrowed.

Logically, Qin Yiguan should have been able to see the back of the Guardian's head after it had rotated 180 degrees.

But the situation before them was not like that. Behind the Guardian was another face, a face filled with gloom and despair... of the Victim.

In that instant.

Qin Yiguan's body seemed to turn into a magnet, and the blue code that was floating around him was suddenly attracted and merged into Qin Yiguan's body.

The previously completely obliterated code was restored by some mysterious force, floated in the air, and also flew into Qin Yiguan's body.

Qin Yiguan's eyes widened even more.

His body, which had been partially blurred, instantly solidified and returned to its original state.

Even the enormous blue pillar of light above his head, known as the ' Data Circuit,' was repaired by the power of the Victim, becoming complete, and then becoming increasingly transparent until it was no longer visible to the naked eye.

'Bite!'

' Brain Hyperactivity Zone A01 [Box Syndrome], current Development Rate 33%.'

' The Victim's personality is enhanced.'

' The Victim ascends from the "Higher Self" to the "Infinity".'

'And fully enter the "Infinity" sequence—resistant to all "death" in the host's perception.'

"But I never expected it."

"The Guardian and the Victim, these two contradictory personalities, have somehow merged into one, a two-sided entity."

Qin Yiguan suddenly chuckled in a low voice, "Lantern Bearer didn't foresee that my mere time travel would result in the enhancement of two personalities!"

But the next moment...

Qin Yiguan's smile slowly faded.

He stared at the ground in front of him. The Data Circuit above Jiu Zhengxuan, Xiao Ning, Meinan, Chen Mudou and the others were still damaged, and their bodies were dissipating inch by inch.

Qin Yiguan's Pupil suddenly contracted. "Victim myself can make me immune to death, but it can't save others."

"This is some kind of data transmission."

Qin Yiguan looked at the several ' Data Circuit ' in the sky, and with a thought, the red neural network beneath his feet spread out.

In his previous experience, Lu Zhoulang's research on Virtual Machine shared the same principles and structure as the Gemini Superbrain. Qin Yiguan attempted to use this ability to repair his friends' Data Circuit!

result.

Qin Yiguan sensed a tremendous gap in their abilities.

The technology behind the Gemini Superbrain is far superior to that of the ' Virtual Machine '; they are not even on the same level.

Qin Yiguan hesitated and stepped aside.

A hint of anxiety flashed across his face, then he looked at Banana, "Could we ask the Gemini Superbrain to step in and fix all this?"

"Since the formation of the Gemini Metaverse, it has only interfered with one thing: your Future."

Banana calmly shook her head. "Besides that, it's an absolute 'bystander' perspective; it doesn't care about the life or death of any user at all."

Qin Yiguan frowned deeply.

There is one last chance: to put the Plunderer into the "Infinity" sequence. The definition of "Infinity" can be understood as "without limits." At that time, Qin Yiguan will definitely be able to repair the Data Circuit and save everyone!

"But."

Qin Yiguan looked towards the distant earthen mound, Jiaolong gazed at the body lying in a pool of blood. "Void Man was silenced by Lantern Bearer."

Walk forward slowly.

They saw Jiu Zhengxuan leaning against a huge clod of earth.

The young man in the white suit is now very weak. His body has not suffered much damage, but his soul is about to perish.

Jiu Zhengxuan smiled. "It seems the place you went to before wasn't reality. I... I guess I won't have the chance to hear you describe what reality is like."

Qin Yiguan hesitated, his heart filled with bitterness.

"I said, Ninth Squad Leader."

But then, Meinan body had already become a third of its original form was slowly wriggling on the ground. "Ninth Captain, please don't say such hurtful things, okay?"

"Knife talk?"

Jiu Zhengxuan looked at the Meinan, a hint of confusion on his weak face, "What is 'knife language'?"

"Usually in novels and TV dramas."

"In certain situations, express your regrets, no matter how energetic or impressive you were before."

The Meinan curled his lip, "This character is doomed to die within three episodes!"

Jiu Zhengxuan smiled helplessly, "I've seen this theory in a virtual forum. There was a reader who wasn't very bright, and he called this situation the 'Three-Knife Death Author's Brain Problem Law'."

"Ninth Squad Leader, could you please show some respect?"

The Meinan raised his middle finger from afar, "That reader you're talking about who's not very bright, that's me!"

The three of them laughed heartily.

At this moment, the Meinan looked completely relaxed, lying on the ground. "Boss Qin always manages to create miracles. We won't die. He'll save us. Boss Qin, am I right?!"

This moment.

Qin Yiguan was speechless.

The Void Man has been silenced, and he has lost the opportunity to traverse the hidden map, which means he has also lost the opportunity to upgrade his Plunderer rank.

After a long silence, Qin Yiguan's lips trembled, and he was about to speak.

Suddenly, a piercing scream came from afar.

But then, the Void Man lying on the ground suddenly sat up!

On the right side of his brain, a piece the size of a palm was lifted open, exposing the pink brain.

But he didn't die. His face was filled with extreme terror as he reached out and touched his head. When his fingers touched his tender brain, he let out a bloodcurdling scream that echoed through the sky!

Qin Yiguan's eyes suddenly lit up, "Meinan, you're right, I will save you, I will definitely save you!"
