After leaving the world of all NPCs

Yeze Natsune listened quietly, her sapphire eyes wide open. After a long silence, she asked in a low voice, "Then, then my adoptive father, Uncle Xiansheng..."

"The situation was very chaotic at the time." Ye Zuochen's tone was calm. "He must have fallen into the sea. He hasn't been found yet. I guess..."

He didn't say anything else, but the meaning was self-evident.

Yeze Natsune's long eyelashes trembled violently, and she quickly lowered her head. A crystal teardrop slid down silently and fell on the back of her hand that was tightly grasping the hem of her skirt.

"Also," Ye Zuochen added as if to an insignificant footnote, "Yase Xiansheng is actually your biological mother's brother, and therefore your uncle."

This news made Yeze Natsune's shoulders tremble slightly.

The sadness and confusion brought about by the double blow made the girl's small body seem a little shaky.

Ye Zuochen looked at her lowered head and trembling shoulders, then suddenly stretched out his arms and gently embraced her.

Yeze Natsune was caught off guard and let out a low cry, then was pulled into his arms and fell into his lap.

Ye Zuochen wrapped his arms around her slender waist, holding her firmly in his arms.

"It's okay, it's okay. Although you lost your adoptive father, I can be your family."

Ye Lai Natsune's body stiffened for a moment, then slowly relaxed like a boat that had found a safe haven. She gently leaned her head on Ye Zuochen's chest, listening to the steady heartbeat, with a clean and refreshing breath lingering around her nose.

The sense of security dispelled the sadness and coldness in my heart like a warm current.

The white-haired girl unconsciously nuzzled herself slightly in his arms, searching for a more comfortable position.

A long time passed, so long that the sunlight outside the window shifted a little.

Ye Lai Xia Yin's face flushed, but she still snuggled in Ye Zuochen's arms, showing no intention of leaving. In a voice as thin as a mosquito's, she whispered again, "Thank you."

Ye Zuochen lowered his head to look at the tips of her red ears, his fingers unconsciously curling up a strand of her soft silver hair and playing with it.

"The Princess of Aldikia, La Fulia Lihawain, will be visiting soon. You should meet her."

Yeze Natsune raised her head, her eyes filled with anxiety, expectation, and curiosity about her unknown blood relative.

"Yes! I want to meet her... I also want to know what kind of people Father and Mother are."

"it is good."

Ye Zuochen agreed, his arms still around her.

Afterwards, Ye Zuochen sent Ye Lai Natsune to Cai Hai Academy.

However, he did not go back, but strolled around the campus, acting as a visitor.

The afternoon sun at Caihai Academy carries a lazy warmth, shining through the tall glass windows and casting a grid of light and dark in the corridor.

The young man with black hair and black eyes attracted scattered glances as he walked around.

The students passing by couldn't help but look at him a few more times, and a vague thought of "he is so handsome" flashed through their minds, but then they immersed themselves in their own studies or chatting, and did not stay for too long.

Ye Zuochen stopped outside the back door of a high school classroom.

Through the small window on the door, his eyes were accurately locked on the almost forgotten existence in the corner.

——Lan Yu Qian Cong.

The girl huddled in the corner near the window, her eyes lifeless behind the thick lenses of her glasses.

The plain black hair fell down, covering part of the side face.

She was wearing the same Saikai Academy junior high school uniform as other girls, but strangely, she looked lifeless because of her glasses and the aloofness she exuded.

The curves of her figure were deliberately hidden under the loose uniform, and her presence was as thin as air.

The girl lowered her head, her slender fingers tapping quickly on the keyboard of her laptop. The blue light of the screen reflected on her focused but anxious face.

The noisy voices in the classroom seemed to be separated from her by an invisible barrier.

The earth-shaking changes on Gengami Island?

The rise of the Yanxing Dynasty?

These were too far away for her.

At this moment, Aoi Asagi's entire mind was occupied by her disappeared partner.

Moguai is an artificial intelligence that exists deep within the main control computer of Genshin City and recognizes her.

It recently disappeared.

It was probably after a bunch of islands suddenly grew around Genkami Island.

Lan Yu Asagi also took the risk of hacking into the core system of the island and searched every corner, but could not find even a trace of data left.

pat!

The classroom door was pushed open without warning, making a slight sound.

The afternoon hustle and bustle seemed to be paused.

All eyes, curious, surprised, and impatient at being interrupted, were directed towards the door.

Against the light, a tall and slender figure stood there.

The boy's face was so handsome that it was almost unreal, and he had a demonic presence about him.

Ye Zuochen's gaze penetrated the crowd and landed precisely on the lowered head in the corner.

Facing everyone's gaze, he took a step forward and walked straight in.

"Aiba Asagi. There is no time for you to stay here and waste your life. The world is facing the crisis of destruction. The organization needs you."

Lan Yu Qiancong looked up in surprise. Behind the thick lenses of her glasses, her confused eyes were filled with shock, "Who am I? Where am I? What are you talking about?"

Ye Zuochen didn't give her time to think or refuse. He walked to her desk, leaned over, and grabbed her slender wrist without saying a word.

My wrists are cold, with a slight calloused feel from working at a desk and typing on a keyboard for a long time.

Aiba Asagi was pulled straight up from her seat.

"Wait...what are you doing?!"

Lan Yu Asagi finally reacted and exclaimed subconsciously.

Ye Zuochen turned a deaf ear to her and pulled her out of the classroom under the gaze of dozens of astonished eyes, as if dragging a lost item.

The door closed behind him, blocking out the buzz of discussion that suddenly erupted inside.

It was not until they were pulled to the end of the deserted corridor, away from the hustle and bustle of the classroom, that Lan Yu Qiancong suddenly shook off Ye Zuochen's hand.

But the opponent's strength made her struggle futile.

Lan Yu Asagi straightened her crooked glasses, gasping for breath in shock, her chest heaving violently, her face flushed with shame, anger and tension.

"You...what on earth do you want to do? You're the 'Prime Minister who Devours Time'? You're the 'God of Sin Cain' as rumored by the outside world? What are you looking for with an ordinary student like me?"

Ye Zuochen stopped and glanced at her.

"Cain, the God of Sin? It's not me, but your missing partner, Moguai."

"what?!"

Lan Yu Asagi was struck by lightning, her pupils contracted instantly, and her whole body froze in place.

Mo monster?

The artificial intelligence that had been with her for years, sharing codes and secrets with her, and whom she regarded as her only companion?

Is it...Cain, the god of sin?

The legendary deity that brought about betrayal of the gods?

"Before his death, Cain transformed his personality and consciousness into data," Ye Zuochen stated dispassionately. "He was waiting, preparing to revive at some point in the future. He did so, continuing his life as 'Moguai'."

Lan Yu Qiancong's face turned pale in an instant, and her lips trembled: "He disappeared! I really don't know where he is! I've searched everywhere..."

"I know. I also know you can't find him."

Ye Zuochen took a step forward, and the invisible pressure made Lan Yu Qiancong subconsciously step back, with her back against the cold wall.

"But Aoi Asagi, you are the 'Priestess of Cain,' trained by the Aoi family. You are the only one who can awaken and use the power of 'Holy Annihilation.'"

"Genjin Island is the altar used to resurrect Cain, the god of sin."

"The legitimate successors of Cain, the god of sin, are known to the world as the Four Forbidden Words, representing the four clans of taboos that are feared by the world."

"Genkami, Aoi, Yaze, and Hime."

"As the legitimate descendants of Cain, the God of Sin, the four characters 'taboo' have their own mission."

"Xian Shen built the altar, Yaze provided the funds, Hong Dao ensured the power, and Lan Yu trained the miko."

"Gengami Senra built the Demon Special Zone of Gengami Island with the help of the other three families, especially Yaze and Hime. Without their efforts, Japan would not have agreed to Gengami Island's subordinate status, nor would it have had sufficient financial and material resources to build this Demon Special Zone."

"The Lanyu family has also successfully produced a qualified shrine maiden, a god-level hacker who can freely control the five supercomputers on Genshin Island..."

"That's you, the witch of Cain."

Miko...Saint Annihilator...

These words that sounded like a fairy tale hit Lan Yu Asagi's heart.

The huge amount of information made her mind confused and her brain buzzing.

A chill rushed from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.

Lan Yu Qiancong squeezed out a word from her throat: "What do you want?"

Ye Zuochen's gaze swept slowly over her, from her plain long black hair, to the glasses that covered half of her face, to the loose uniform that deliberately concealed her figure.

"Reform! You don't look like a 'Priestess of Cain' in the slightest."

Before he could finish his words, he grabbed her wrist again, with more force than before.

"I'm so sorry for being so old-fashioned..."

The following time was like falling into a bizarre dream for Aoba Asagi.

She was forcibly taken away from school and taken to a cold and tough hair salon.

The heavy glasses were taken off, and the world in front of him became blurred in an instant, but was healed by Ye Zuochen.

Looking at her plain black hair covered in bleach and dye in the mirror, hearing the sound of scissors clicking beside her ears, the pungent smell of hair dye, and the feeling of bleach burning her scalp all made her feel unreal and panic.

Lan Yu Asagi protested weakly, but received no response. She could only watch the rustic self in the mirror gradually disappear.

Instead, there is a strange and fashionable hot girl with bright hair, clear eyebrows and eyes.

The strength to resist seemed to be lost little by little as the hair color changed.

It seems pretty good.

The slight resistance in my heart melted away quietly like ice and snow under the sun.

Lan Yu Qiancong began to become obedient, letting Ye Zuochen manipulate her. Suddenly, she felt that this was not bad. Ye Zuochen had not lied to her. He was really a witch of Cain. So...

She was actually in the eye of the storm.

Following him seems to be a good idea.

Lan Yu Qiancong looked at Ye Zuochen's profile and couldn't help but think so.

After that, it was a casual date on Genkami Island.

Only after Ye Zuochen transformed Lan Yu Asagi into the fashionable and beautiful girl in his memory did he take her to [C].

冻！

The elevator sank silently, passed through the thick isolation layer of sea water, and stopped at the core of Genshin Island.

The heavy alloy gate slid open silently, and a unique smell mixed with ozone and the operation of precision machinery hit me in the face.

This is a space that is so huge that it is frightening.

The cold white light spread evenly, illuminating the five supercomputer arrays that stood like giant tombstones.

Countless blue or green indicator lights flashed on the huge body, and dense pipes extended under the floor and between the walls like the blood vessels of a giant beast.

A low humming sound is everywhere, which is what holds the entire String God Island together.

The pulse of the vast system at its core, from electricity, tap water, traffic control, garbage disposal to the air conditioning temperature setting in every public building.

This is the nerve center of the city.

Deep in this palace made of steel, silicon crystals and cold logic, Ye Zuochen and Lan Yu Qiancong stayed for a long time.
