"..."

In the darkness ahead, Ye Shiyu was still wearing the damp hospital gown, and faint bandages could be seen on her collarbone, unwrapped from her hospital treatment.

She was barefoot, with the previous running while carrying Yan Huan's corpse leaving crimson wounds visible.

Amidst her disheveled black hair, her eyes just gazed at Yan Huan in front of her.

Her eyes were the same as those Yan Huan had seen in the "future."

But at this moment, for some reason, they were filled with fear and tears.

In the next second, she gently reached out her hand and touched Yan Huan's body.

After confirming that it was real, she lowered her head and began to sob,

"Wu... wuu..."

Tears shed for Yan Huan gently fell, causing Yan Huan's eyes to flicker.

Earlier, the world line he entered was the if-line.

Then, the Ye Shiyu seen there should indeed appear in the future...

If he made the right choice.

"Rumble..."

But at this moment, the door outside emitted a terrifying pressure, reminding Yan Huan:

The ordeal was not over.

"Rustle..."

In the next second, Yan Huan then gently re-draped the shroud that was about to fall back over his shoulder.

He took out a piece of Crab Medicine, placed it in Ye Shiyu's hand, and said softly,

"Eat this, Sister Shiyu."

"Buzz!!"

"Crack..."

Ye Shiyu looked fearfully at the clawing pink porcelain crab before her, but Yan Huan had no time to explain as the sound outside the door grew increasingly terrifying.

He looked at the slightly trembling door, taking a deep breath, and walked toward it.

"Aria, stop!!"

At this moment, outside the door, Aria's movements halted slightly due to the Superconductor Lus Snake released by An Le.

Beside her, Sakuragi Hitomi and Tong Yingying both realized that letting her open the door to kill Ye Shiyu might have grave consequences, so they hurried forward.

"Ow ow ow!!"

But at this moment, Aria seemed to have entered a form of powerfulness, where only after a brief delay did the horns on her head become even more dazzling.

Behind her, Sakuragi Hitomi hugged her waist while Tong Yingying attempted a bare choke to wrap around her neck.

"Aria, stop... stop!!"

"..."

Despite facing the full-force struggle of three people, Aria slowly raised her fist, aiming at the door ahead.

"Ow!!"

She slowly swung a punch, smashing against the door.

At this moment behind the door, Yan Huan had just placed his hand on the doorknob.

But before he could twist it, he was left stunned as the steel door eerily bulged inward...

Also, the kinetic energy seemed far from dissipating!

"I..."

Yan Huan didn't even have time to utter a word, instinctively twisting his body to dodge.

"Boom!!!"

In the next second, from the other side of the door, a force that the world could barely endure erupted instantaneously.

The force rudely smashed the weak door before him, yet the fury was not appeased, continuously surging forward...

Until most of the walls sealing the tool room were directly collapsed, revealing the heavy rain outside, expanding the tool room's area several times and transforming it into a semi-open "ruin style" before it finally halted...

"..."

Yan Huan leaned against the wall, glancing at the shroud on his body.

He then saw that the piece of shroud pasted upon his chest turned to ashes in an instant...

He couldn't bear to imagine what would have happened if he hadn't dodged in time.

Probably, just after winning the resurrection game, he would meet the King Yan again!

"Ye... Shi... Yu!!"

At this moment, outside the door, Aria's angry voice thundered through, seemingly twisting the world.

Upon hearing it, Yan Huan blinked.

He looked back at the partially collapsed tool room ruins, where Ye Shiyu was curled in the corner, still safe and sound...

Immediately, he stepped forward to stand at the doorway.

At this moment, Aria, transformed into the Demon King and surrounded by dense black air at the doorway, suddenly looked up...

Then she saw the boy who was one of the only two people she could see in the world full of twisted flesh and terrifying monsters, calling out to her, 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Aria, it's me! Stop!"

"..."

Upon seeing it was Yan Huan, the black air around Aria instantly dissipated, and the pair of terrifying horns became invisible, obscured by her darkened golden hair.

"Boom..."

On the ground, the firearms, swords, clothes, names, and memories originally taken by Aria were instantly returned to their original owners...

Even the terrifying thunderclouds in the sky gradually retracted and became silent and invisible.

Aria instantly returned to her original form.

However, her eyes widened, her eye sockets slightly reddened, as if she had just cried.

"Yan... Yan Huan?! You're not dead?!"

Upon hearing Aria's call, the former gritted teeth and desperate intervention by Sakuragi Hitomi and Tong Yingying also paused slightly.

"Yan Huan?!"

"President?!"

Even not far away, the pale An Le lying on the ground raised his head in disbelief,

"Xiao Huan..."

Little Thumb widened their eyes, shocked and bewildered,

"Is it true, able to elbow win the resurrection game?!"

"..."

The people present had none of Aria's vision and Full Resistance to instantly discern the truth and even began to doubt whether they were under Ye Shiyu's hypnosis.

Only Aria, upon seeing Yan Huan, began to cry,

"Wuu wu, Yan... Yan Huan! I thought you were killed by Ye Shiyu!!"

Seeing this, Yan Huan smiled helplessly.

He glanced at the scattered fragments of Big Thumb, ring finger, and Little Thumb on the ground beside him, his eyes slightly moved.

So many fragments?

Could they directly compensate for the debt owed and bring Meow back?
