My incarnation is becoming a global calamity.

Inside the abandoned church, Lila had thoroughly searched the first floor but had not found Ke You.

"Lila, should we go upstairs and take a look?"

His teammates, who were with him, walked up to him, looked at the stairwell not far away, and asked hesitantly.

Half an hour has passed since the operation began.

The other two teammates were responsible for exploring the second floor.

Even if the second floor is large, half an hour is enough to explore it completely.

But now, there was not a sound coming from upstairs; it was eerily quiet.

It's even possible that the two have already encountered danger and died silently.

If that's the case, if the two of them go up again, they might very well encounter unknown dangers.

Therefore, in his opinion, the safest way was to wait downstairs for news from his two teammates.

"Let's go up and take a look. Everyone on this mission has B-grade magical tools, so there's nothing to be afraid of." Lira's gaze was firm.

He had already witnessed Ke You's strength when he entered the Aishir Secret Treasury last time.

Before the fight even started, Ke You raised his hands in surrender.

This shows that this person is just a bit strange, but actually doesn't have much fighting ability.

With the magical tools they currently possess, they should have more than enough to handle the situation.

Lira was confident that even if she couldn't catch Ke You, she wouldn't have much trouble protecting herself.

Upon hearing this, his teammates hesitated.

However, upon seeing that Lira had already stepped halfway onto the stairwell, he put his hesitation aside and quickly followed her.

Now is the time to act; acting alone is extremely dangerous.

He didn't want to be picked off one by one by the enemy because he was acting alone.

This behavior is foolish, yet it's a problem that's often overlooked.

Sometimes, in order to improve efficiency, it may be necessary to split up operations.

He simply felt that efficiency was not as important as life itself.

The two stepped into the stairwell, one after the other.

There was a large hole in the wall of the stairwell, through which the bright moonlight could shine into the stairwell.

The charred walls were clearly visible under the bright moonlight.

Lira could even imagine how big the fire was back then, and how desperate the people trapped inside must have felt.

The church ruins were supposed to be demolished after the fire.

However, due to the church's rule that "churches cannot be demolished"—otherwise it would be an insult to the church.

This is why the ruins of the church still remain, and it has been fortunate enough to be preserved to this day.

"Lira, there's someone!"

As his thoughts raced, his teammate next to him suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Instantly, his thoughts were pulled back, and he quickly looked up towards the stairwell.

He was completely stunned at just one glance.

A figure gradually walked towards them, its body swaying from side to side, like a walking corpse.

Under the moonlight, his blank face was clearly visible.

What baffled Lila was that the person who looked like a walking corpse was none other than his teammate.

He was one of the two people he arranged to investigate the second floor.

"Berlen, what happened to you? Where's Fiss?"

The name of the man in front of them was Burren, but their other teammate, Fiss, was nowhere to be found.

However, of the two people who originally went upstairs, one was completely bewildered, and the other had disappeared without a trace.

This made Lila's ominous premonition even stronger.

"Lila, given the current situation, should we evacuate?"

The teammates next to him were already having second thoughts, not wanting to stay there any longer, fearing they might lose their lives there.

The two teammates who went up to the second floor to search are the best proof of this.

Lila did not answer his question with words, but chose to respond with actions.

He took a deep breath and strode firmly toward the second floor.

In his view, since he was in charge of this operation, he had to ensure that his teammates returned safely.

This is his responsibility, and even more so, his duty.

Although the fear in his heart almost overwhelmed him, he still chose to do it.

Upon reaching Berren's side, Lila quickly shielded him behind her, her eyes scanning the second floor warily.

If anything goes wrong, he will risk his life to cover his teammates' retreat.

Fortunately, the second floor was quiet and there was no unusual activity, which gradually put his mind at ease.

However, he didn't know that at the end of the corridor, Su Tu was leaning against the wall, observing the scene before him by the moonlight in the stairwell.

There was no light where he was, and Lila couldn't see him even if he stood in the middle of the corridor.

Not to mention that he was leaning against the wall, not standing in the middle of the corridor.

"This guy may be reckless, but he has a strong sense of responsibility," Su Tu thought to himself with a slight sigh.

In TV dramas or novels, most people who are this responsible do not have a good ending.

After all, being a responsible person means putting yourself in the most dangerous situation in order to protect your teammates.

For example, right now.

If Su Tu wanted to, he could easily take this opportunity to kill Lira.

That was what he was originally planning to do.

That was the real reason he spared Buren's life.

However, after seeing Lira's responsible character, he changed his mind.

This wasn't due to his good intentions; on the contrary, he felt he had no good intentions whatsoever.

The main reason for sparing Lira's life was simple: they wanted to take him with them on tomorrow's mission to find the crown.

If we train him to replace Bot, it will be much easier to deal with Reconnaissance Team 1 in the future.

Su Tu had no idea whether any of the newly created avatars, besides the first one, would be related to the Royal Reconnaissance Team.

Once the connection is established, it will be quite difficult for Su Tu to deal with someone as experienced as Bote.

Ever since he witnessed another side of Bot, he knew that this man was cunning and difficult to deal with.

In comparison, Su Tu still prefers to be with Lira, who is both young and responsible.

As for how to unseat Botra, he already had a general idea in mind.

There's nothing we can do; his true form has someone above him.

Moreover, this person can also decide the appointment and removal of the reconnaissance team leader.

Of course, the prerequisite is to cause some minor trouble for Bot and make him make a mistake.

Otherwise, it would be really difficult to remove him from the position of captain.

"What's the best approach?"

Su Tu watched the three people slowly retreating downstairs, burying this thought in his heart.

We can think of solutions later; for now, let's get rid of these people and put the crown in its designated place.

Once the original body obtains the crown, its influence in front of the princess will increase, and its words will carry more weight.

After the three figures completely disappeared downstairs, Su Tu slowly walked forward, stood at the entrance of the stairwell, and looked downstairs.

The moonlight shone on him, and his deep eyes were filled with tranquility.

It seems they never took Lira and the other two seriously.

This scene was witnessed by Lira, who was retreating while remaining on guard.

Those calm, unsettling eyes left a deep imprint on his heart.

"Isn't he supposed to be stronger than that?"

At this moment, only this sentence echoed in his mind.
