Anonymous Star, Black Welfare Home.

The hovercar slowly landed on the open ground. Black Butterfly and Black Leaf got out of the car together, where they were greeted by Black Frost, who had been waiting for them.

Hei Shuang handed over two glasses of water: "Xiao Die, Brother Ye, you've worked hard."

Black Leaf silently shook his head, while Black Butterfly drank the water in one gulp.

Hei Ying and Hei Hu, the two little guys, heard the noise and poked their little heads out.

Black Tiger blinked his big eyes: "Sister Butterfly is back! Let's go buy pumpkin candy together tomorrow, okay?"

Hei Ying pushed Hei Hu away: "Little Tiger, you go by yourself. Sister Die is going to teach me how to shoot a gun tomorrow!"

"Fine, so you weren't asleep at all." Black Frost suppressed her anger. "Stop bothering your Sister Butterfly. Now, all of you get back to your beds! Otherwise..."

The two little ones exchanged a glance, then immediately ran off, shouting, "Sister Shuang is so scary, let's go!"

"Cough cough, the children are back." Blackjack walked weakly out of the room. "You've suffered."

Unlike the Black Jack that Leng Ran once knew, who was full of vigor and wielding throwing knives, he seemed to have aged ten years in just three short years.

Hei Shuang immediately helped him up: "Dean, did Xiao Ying and Xiao Hu disturb you? Let me go talk to them."

“It’s alright.” Blackjack looked at Black Butterfly. “Little Butterfly, come here. I have something to say to you alone.”

Black Butterfly followed Black Jack into the room. As soon as the door closed, Black Jack lost his strength and almost fell to the ground.

"Dean, how are you!" Black Butterfly immediately helped Blackjack up. "Let's talk about it tomorrow, you should rest first."

Blackjack slowly sat down: "No, it has to be said today."

"I received a notification that Storm Military Academy will send someone to conduct physical fitness tests for you tomorrow. If you reach level four, you will have the opportunity to enter the military academy."

“Xiaoyue, I know that with your abilities, you will definitely be able to enroll smoothly. I also know that you have always wanted to go to Storm Military Academy and want to see ‘the poor guy,’ but…”

Blackjack paused for a moment.

He had once met Mo Li, who was disguised as the judge and high priest, and was forced by him to open this orphanage. But as the truth of what happened back then gradually came to light, the meaning of this orphanage to him had changed.

This is no longer a task, but an act of "atonement".

He had a group of lovely children who respected him and treated him like a father. However, when he looked at them, he felt more guilt than love.

Furthermore, he knew that Mo Li wasn't entirely loyal to that mysterious organization. Recalling what Mo Li had done, Black Jack became increasingly convinced that Mo Li had entered the organization with some kind of purpose.

Because he knew far too much, Mo Li planted a mental bomb in his mental sea to ensure that he would never reveal the secret.

Black Butterfly asked, puzzled, "Dean, but what?"

Blackjack could only say vaguely, "Xiaoyue, I advise you not to get too close to him. There is an invisible vortex around him, and I'm worried that if you get too close to him, you, who came from that place, will also be drawn into it."

"Xiaoyue, it's truly remarkable that you managed to escape from that place. You don't want to go back to that dark and hopeless life, do you?"

Black Butterfly understood immediately. Although she didn't know why Black Jack couldn't say it outright, she still grasped the implication.

The poor guy and that organization have some unclear relationship.

Black Butterfly pressed on, "So, Dean, is Poor Guy a bad person?"

Blackjack said decisively, "No, he saved all of your lives. Without him, there would be no orphanage today."

“That solves it.” Black Butterfly smiled confidently. “Dean, I am no longer the helpless Qingyue I was three years ago. As for the poor guy… my fate with him began a long time ago.”

Black Butterfly took out a small brocade pouch that she kept close to her body and opened it in front of Black Jack. Inside was a Star Coin Card and a blood-stained white paper flower.

“These are things that the poor guy left behind: a flower he gave to my brother, and a card for my mother’s medical treatment.” Black Butterfly’s eyes were filled with reminiscence. “The poor guy, he was the one I chose. I was willing to become a mecha soldier and serve him, even if it cost me my life.”

“Alright, Little Butterfly. Since you’ve made up your mind, then go for it.” Blackjack seemed moved. “If you see him at Storm Military Academy, please give him my regards.”

Black Butterfly put the items back into her brocade pouch: "Okay, I will definitely pass it on."

Qingyue is her past, buried by time, forever remaining in the resting place of her brother and mother.

Today, she is a black butterfly reborn from its cocoon.

The narrow and cramped dark room was the place she feared most; that period of utter darkness was a nightmare she desperately wanted to escape.

But now, the dark environment only makes her feel comfortable and safe.

She was starting to look forward to tomorrow's physical fitness test. What would it be like to see Mo Li again?
