Bengtie: A card pool character who gives knives to players

"This is the server launch plot, server launch!!!"

"It'll take at least a year or two to get a knife. Whose game's protagonist team loses members on the first mission after launching the server?"

"If Lingzhou is really gone, I'll still play the game of Jimao!"

[I feel so numb. I didn't feel like crying at first, but Ah Xian got the message.]

[Buhao, there is anti-armor! ]

[Must-eat Anti-Armor, anyone who doesn't eat it is a god.]

[Although, it’s really cool to watch Ah Xiansuo noodles, hehehehe…]

[I've been a bit nagging, but it doesn't matter. Tonight, there will be countless more cooks at Station B, and we'll give you a good meal.]

[You guys, that's enough, huh? No one really wants Lingzhou to be killed by a knife, right? No way, no way?]

[Have you forgotten the kindness your father has shown you, you unfilial sons and daughters?]

[Play is play, jokes are jokes, but don't joke with Dao Lingzhou. He became like this because he wanted to save me and my companions!]

[Take note: Be mindful of the context when using memes!]

Ah Xian was in no mood to read the comments. He wiped his eyes hard and looked at the game screen with gritted teeth.

She didn't believe that Lingzhou would die like this, and the secrets on his body hadn't been revealed yet!

Xing rushed over, his eyes panicking.

"What happened to Lingzhou?!"

Dan Heng's expression was solemn. "Preliminary judgment is that he must have overdrawn himself, reaching his physical and mental limits."

San Yue Qi was anxiously worried: "Is it because of the Iron Guards guarding the restricted area?"

"Not surprisingly, yes."

Dan Heng didn't finish his words.

He had a bold guess that was closer to the truth.

Maybe……

Lingzhou quietly did something bigger, perhaps... protecting his companions and the world from the hands of the envoy.

Even he couldn't tell the depth of Ling Zhou's strength, so it seemed that he was not a simple person in the past.

Who knows, he might have the strength comparable to that of a Lingshi.

I just informed Jizi and Walter about what happened here, and learned that——

The two of them also knew nothing about Lingzhou's solo actions.

No one knows what Lingzhou did during the time he disappeared from the train's dashboard.

Right now, we need to wait for him to wake up before we can ask him the truth.

Maybe it was related to the envoy, and he was supposed to tell his companions to make corresponding preparations.

But Lingzhou didn't.

He also knew that with Lingzhou's personality, he would definitely not tell anyone and make the younger generation worry.

Ugh.

Dan Heng couldn't help but sigh, and Xing and Sanyueqi became more confused and scared after hearing this.

"This is the first time I've seen Lingzhou lose consciousness during a pioneering journey..."

San Yueqi couldn't help sobbing slightly and clutched Lingzhou's sleeves.

In the past, he was calm and composed most of the time, with a smile on his lips that resembled those of masked fools.

The sound of footsteps came.

It's Seele and Bronya.

Although there was still sadness on the latter's face, the anxiety and worry in his eyes when he looked at Lingzhou could not be faked.

"Mr. Lingzhou..."

Dan Heng put away his unnecessary expressions and gave the girls a reassurance.

"There is no danger to his life at the moment, he just needs to rest for a while."

"Phew... That's good, that's good! Everyone's fine, everyone's happy~~"

San Yueqi breathed a sigh of relief, but with lingering fear in his heart he patted his chest, feeling relieved.

Axian's reaction was exactly the same as March 7th's.

No knife is good!

But she never thought—

It's not that there is no knife.

Waiting behind.

"This exploration... wasn't easy, but thankfully it was a success. Now, what about the star core...?"

"Before, it was either Lingzhou or Uncle Yang who handled it. Now Lingzhou is unconscious, and Uncle Yang is not here anymore."

Dan Heng: "I have informed Ji Zi and Mr. Walter, they are on their way."

March 7: "Great, now the crisis in this world is resolved, right?"

Dan Heng slowly shook his head.

"The blizzard won't stop suddenly. After the core is processed, the cold wave will gradually subside, and the expansion of the rift will also stop."

"There's a chance that Yarilo-VI will be revived, but the process will take time."

He looked at Bronya.

"And all of this depends on your own efforts."

Bronya blinked her eyes, which were sore but could not shed tears, and saluted the pioneer team solemnly.

"Thank you very much for your dedication to Beloberg."

"Mr. Lingzhou is seriously injured. Please return to Beloberg immediately. I will arrange for the best medical resources for him immediately."

Dan Heng declined, "I'm willing to do that, but there's no need to do that. Once Ji Zi and the others arrive, I'll escort Ling Zhou back to the train to recover."

Hearing the unquestionable tone in Dan Heng's words, Bronya did not insist any further.

After confirming that Lingzhou was not in danger of life, Xing's spirit and expression, which had been tense for a long time, relaxed a little.

"What are your plans next, Bronya?"

Seeing Xing looking at her, Bronya was silent for a moment.

"There's still a lot to do."

"The residents of this city have undoubtedly noticed the tremendous commotion here. There are many questions that need to be explained, and many things that need to be made public..."

Xing seemed to have heard something and subconsciously narrowed his eyes.

"But you don't seem to have any intention of revealing the truth?"

Chapter 108 Lies and Truth

Bronya was bewildered. "I don't know what I can do to make everyone accept this..."

Xing didn't speak again for the time being, but looked at Ling Zhou, who had a pale face.

After a moment of silence, Xier made a suggestion.

"I felt the truth needed to be hidden and not made public."

"You mean... using a lie to cover up another lie... But if I do that, I..."

"If I don't do this, how can I explain it...?"

Xier bit her lower lip.

"I just feel that there is no other way. In the lower class, we repeat the same words to the children every day:

"Everything will be fine tomorrow."

"—Adults know it's a lie, but at least it lets children sleep with hope."

"If the truth about what happened here were revealed, people would be disappointed."

"If I knew that the Great Guardian, whom I once trusted the most, had deceived everyone, I would not know what or who I could trust."

Bronya was silent.

All members of the pioneering team remained silent and listened quietly.

After a while, Bronya spoke in a low voice.

"...Lady Cocolia sacrificed herself to protect Beloberg."

"She learned the secret of the star core from the pioneers who came from outer space."

"She also knew that the first Grand Guardian, Alisa Rand, had failed to destroy the core."

"…But she still decided to challenge this power that far surpasses human imagination."

"Great Guardian Kokolia sacrificed herself, and with the help of the pioneers, she dispelled the haze that enveloped Beloberg."

"This is... 'the truth', don't you think?"

Xier thought about it and nodded slowly.

"At least this truth retains some hope of preservation."

The conversation between the two made San Yueqi feel a little uncomfortable.

She tilted her head to look at Lingzhou, who had his entire arm resting on Danheng's shoulder and was completely unconscious.

He stared at Lingzhou's pale and weak face for a few seconds, then looked at Xing, whose face was as gloomy as water.

Shouldn't this be the case?

The two people who used to act weird and lively have now become a little different from themselves.

Because of this world, they have become what they are now...

"Why do you have to lie? Even if I can understand the lie from your perspective, but..."

"I...I...but I still prefer to tell the truth."

"What do you think, Danheng?"

Dan Heng closed his eyes and shook his head.

"I lacked the crucial pioneering process, and therefore couldn't offer objective and one-sided advice."

Having said that, he looked at Xing.

"March has already expressed his opinion. As for yours, if Lingzhou were sober, he would probably agree."

"After all... he's willing to temporarily entrust his wings to you, which means you're a trustworthy partner in his heart."

"Oh?"

Ah Xian couldn't help but think of a possibility.

She remembered that there was no option for the internal beta test.

Is the public beta finally available?

① “I agree. Let me put it this way.”

② "A lie is always a lie. I object to that."

Ah Xian stared at option two.

She hoped that after she made her choice, no one would use other reasons to refute her and force her to make no choice.

But before that, she was also curious about which one the public would prefer.

"Family members, if it were you, which one would you choose?"
