"Captain, what did you say?"

On the way back, sitting in the airship, Su Zilin looked at Lin Xuan. For some reason, she felt particularly at ease with her captain, and this feeling also permeated the rest of the Thirteenth Squad.

Although they had only been comrades-in-arms for a few days and the commander was an airborne captain who had transferred from a research department to the military, they felt unusually at ease, as if they had been fighting side by side for many years.

Lin Xuan quickly sorted through the intelligence sent by Zhi Zi. Planet Revelation III, nominally part of Mechanical Earth's territory, was now completely occupied by the "Spark" civilian armed forces—which ironically became their advantage. More importantly, some unknown interference had severed all communication with the Divine Realm; not only were they out of contact, but other task forces were likely in the same predicament.

"Take control of this force first." He decisively ordered, "They still have at least tens of thousands of people who can provide cover for us. Once back, immediately activate global broadcasting to confirm how many of our own remain on this planet."

Zuo Xiao leaned against the bulkhead, arms crossed, the flashing lights in the command room reflected on his metal visor: "The situation at the front is unclear. The mechanical Earth has blocked all outbound routes. In this situation, even if we could find a spaceship, we probably wouldn't be able to break through the enemy's blockade, and it would easily alert them."

"So we just sit and wait for Mechanical Earth to turn around and wipe out the rebellion?" Su Zilin suddenly interjected, his knuckles tapping on the star map projection, causing the border battle data to shake violently. "If the front lines collapse, we won't even have a window of opportunity to escape."

Lin Xuan gazed at the crimson battle zone projected on the screen, then chuckled softly. "So we need to time things perfectly—after the main force of the Mechanical Earth has finished its decisive battle with our army, while they're caught in the vacuum of time before they can return to their defenses." He drew a dark blue flight path across the battle zone. "That's the real path to survival."

The group was so focused on figuring out how to escape in the chaos that Lin Xuan had no intention of helping Zhizi complete her mission to deal with Number One.

What a joke! He hasn't even met Number One in person yet, so how would he know if the other party is hostile towards him? Even if what Zhizi said is true, Number One split himself into three parts in order to take action against the other observers and managers in order to achieve the final victory, he is not worried at all.

With the system at his disposal, he was confident that he could take down an opponent at the observer level in a critical moment. In any case, the opponent's kill order would never put him first. If he really found something was wrong, he could just run away.

This is also why he didn't continue to dwell on this issue with Tomoko. One reason was that he didn't trust Tomoko, and another was that he couldn't possibly tell Tomoko that he had a system.

"Gentlemen." Just as the members of Squad Thirteen were discussing their escape plan, Simothers, who was in charge of driving, interrupted their conversation.

"Actually, there's something Miss Zhizi probably hasn't made clear to you all. Although she's handed over the leadership of the Spark Organization to you, Mr. Lin Xuan, our Spark Organization only succeeded because it relied on weapons provided by Gene Earth, so..."

"So, besides you, the leader of the Spark Organization, there is also an instructor named Jiang Huahua, who was sent by Gene Earth to work with us to build the organization."

"Jiang Huahua?"

Lin Xuan didn't know why, but he felt a bit disgusted as soon as he heard the name. Even though he had never met the other person before, just hearing the name would make him feel a nameless anger rise up.

"Yes... this instructor has a rather eccentric temper... I hope you can all be more tolerant of him." Simothers said this rather cautiously. At first, Lin Xuan couldn't quite understand, but it wasn't until half an hour later, when he met Jiang Huahua in person, that he understood the reason for Simothers' embarrassment.

"You must be the new successors that Miss Tomoko has chosen?"

Inside the Starfire Organization's office building, Jiang Huahua sat on the sofa with his eyes closed, resting. When he heard the door open, he merely opened his eyes and glanced at them before closing them again to rest, seemingly not taking the others seriously at all.

"Let me state my rules first. Gene Earth values ​​the development of the Spark Organization highly. This is our most successful organization that we have infiltrated the enemy and established. I don't want it to be ruined in your hands. Do you understand?"

Hearing the tone of the other party, which sounded like he was reprimanding his subordinates, the members of the Thirteenth Squad immediately became displeased. Zuo Xiao even took a step forward, as if he was ready to take action at any moment.

"What do you want to do? Are you going to attack me?"

Her sudden action immediately alerted Jiang Huahua.

"Don't think I don't know who you people really are. You're just ordinary soldiers on Mind Earth, cannon fodder on the battlefield. I just don't understand why the AI ​​Sophon insists on entrusting such a good organization to people like you. If I were to lead the Spark Organization..."

Before he could finish speaking, a nanowire severed his throat.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and Jiang Huahua died at Lin Xuan's hands once again. The only difference was that this time he lasted 3 seconds longer than before.

"Noisy!"

Lin Xuan shook his hand and retracted the nanofilament. From the moment he entered, he felt an inexplicable extreme aversion to the person in front of him, even more so than his aversion to Cheng Xin.

The other person's arrogant tone always made him feel disgusted. Lin Xuan suspected that this was also related to his deleted memories. But if he had really met such a disgusting person before he lost his memory, he would probably have killed him without saying a word.

The fact that he's still alive can only mean two things.

First, he didn't dare to kill him for some reason before he lost his memory. Second, the people he killed before could be resurrected.

He leaned more towards the second point, since there was no one in this world that Lin Xuan wouldn't dare to kill.

"So that means I might not be suffering from amnesia, but rather trapped in some kind of endless loop? In each loop, a portion of my memories is reset?"

Through Jiang Huahua, Lin Xuan has managed to connect the dots of the whole affair. It's no wonder she's the ultimate being who has absorbed the computing power of the brains of 30 billion people on Earth. Her ability to see the big picture from small details has been honed to perfection.

He was having a good time killing, but the others were dumbfounded.

"Mr. Lin Xuan, how could you kill Commissioner Jiang..."

Shocked, Simothers emerged from the cubicle. He had only gone to pour himself a glass of water when he saw that Jiang Huahua was already dead.

But for some reason, Simothers felt a secret sense of satisfaction. During this time, he had also been bossed around by Jiang Huahua, and he was just as unhappy. After seeing Lin Xuan today, he had a strange feeling that compelled him to bring Lin Xuan and the others to see Jiang Huahua.

"Oh well, let them kill us. Anyway, Gene Earth stopped supplying us with weapons a long time ago. Before, when we had weapons, we had to watch this guy's face. Now they won't even give us a gun..."

With a sigh of resignation, Simothers waved for two men to come in and clean up Jiang Huahua's body.

"Give him the death benefits; you approve the receipt, and I'll sign it."

Lin Xuan didn't care what Ximoser thought at all, and he wasn't afraid of getting his hands dirty with blood. He simply plopped down in the spot where Jiang Huahua had just died.

"From today onwards, I officially take over the Spark Organization. If we don't have weapons, we'll make them ourselves!"
