Beside him, Tong Yingying's voice was laced with a hint of jealousy.

Yan Huan smiled helplessly and looked at Tong Yingying, saying,

"Believe me, Sister Tong, you wouldn't want to eat this thing. It can remove the modifier's side effects and reset progress to zero..."

"..."

Tong Yingying watched as An Le swallowed the pink crab, and couldn't help but show a look of disdain.

Aria looked at the crab in her hand, a little frightened, but decided to trust Yan Huan and swallowed it.

"Buzz..."

As soon as she took it, the golden cracks on Aria's body began to gradually fade.

Likewise, the paleness and Snake Scale on An Le's body also began to fade.

"Ugh... so sleepy..."

Immediately, Aria rubbed her eyes, her eyelids drooping.

It seemed that the previous frenzy had completely drained her.

Yan Huan smiled helplessly and could only hold her to let her rest properly.

Then, he looked to the side at Sakuragi Hitomi,

"What about Hitomi?"

"... It seems like there's no effect?"

"..."

Sakuragi Hitomi waved her hand, thinking her weakness was all due to the modifier's side effects...

But now it seemed it was just her own poor constitution.

Realizing this, Sakuragi Hitomi's face couldn't help but blush.

She felt like she wasted the good stuff the President gave her...

"Alright, alright, don't forget you owe me a gift... Now that you're alive, carefully tell me about the situation that day..."

Tong Yingying crossed her arms and walked toward Yan Huan, asking him,

"What exactly happened to you? How did you survive? And what's next? How should we deal with Ye Shiyu?"

"I survived because I also have the modifier; the tools inside saved my life..."

Yan Huan squinted and looked at the other three, saying,

"I didn't die because of Ye Shiyu, it was because of Ye Zi AI...or rather, the index finger."

"See!! I told you!!!"

As soon as Yan Huan spoke, Sakuragi Hitomi immediately clenched her fists and angrily glared at the other three.

Her face was flushed, full of anger saying "I told you not to trust me."

"At that time, both President and Aunt Ran were present, how could Ye Shiyu possibly hypnotize someone to crash over?!

"And I had originally hidden Aria well, but she suddenly knew about President's matter, went berserk directly..."

Hearing this, Yan Huan's face grew increasingly grim.

He couldn't help but think of the defeat CG he had seen earlier...

From that moment, the index finger was scheming against him.

Firstly, it directly summoned an ambulance, nearly sending him to reincarnation a second time.

If he hadn't realized the defeat CG was fake, if he hadn't resurrected...

It might have really succeeded.

"..."

Thinking this, Yan Huan's fists gradually hardened.

He took a deep breath, just about to speak, but his expression suddenly changed when he caught sight of something out of the corner of his eye.

Because the originally scattered fragments on the ground...

had suddenly disappeared.

Could it be...

Yan Huan furrowed his brows and turned to look at the tool room behind him.

Only to see that Ye Shiyu's figure was nowhere to be seen.

All that remained on the ground was a crab medicine lying there, feebly struggling with its six crab legs and a pair of claws...

It seemed to have been kicked by someone.

At this sight, everyone's expressions couldn't help but change slightly.

Beside them, An Le supported the unconscious Aria and stood up, furrowing her brows as she glanced around, asking,

"Wait, we've caused such a commotion, yet the funeral home has had no reaction at all?"

At the moment, apart from the sound of the rain curtain outside, the entire funeral home was eerily silent.

Sakuragi Hitomi also looked doubtfully at the mourning hall where Yan Huan had been earlier, only to see an extremely bizarre scene...

Inside, everyone was in a daze.

Only the phones in their hands were still lit, simultaneously opening the Ye Zi AI app.

"?!"

Seeing this, Sakuragi Hitomi quickly turned her gaze away.

What's going on?!

She was just about to run back to inform everyone but then suddenly thought of something.

She turned and ran to another side of the resting room...

Inside, Ye Lan was still resting!

"Creak..."

"Aunt Ye!"

Sakuragi Hitomi panted as she opened the door, looking inside but finding it empty.

Frowning, she looked at her phone...

She hadn't installed Ye Zi AI.

And among her messages on Plane, Ye Lan had sent a message...

It was sent when they went to cremate Yan Huan and started searching for Ye Shiyu.

"Sakuragi, I'm leaving it to you over there for now. Today is Xiao Huan's funeral, but Shiyu hasn't replied at all.

"I'm a bit worried something might happen to her, so I'm heading back to Ye International briefly, I'll be back soon..."

Ye International?!

Ye Zi AI?!

Seeing this, Sakuragi Hitomi's eyes widened.

"Boom!!"

Inside the completely collapsed tool room, Yan Huan's hand gently extended to pick up the crab medicine again.

Outside, the rain curtain grew heavier and heavier.

Clouds split into two ends, amidst endless fog, only the center of the city, that towering black office building was extraordinarily prominent.

From this angle, it just happens to block the Golden Lion Group Building behind, thus making it seem like there's only this one building between heaven and earth.

That is...

Ye International Building.

"Still not giving up, index finger..."

Staring at the building in the distant sky, as if turning into a divine shrine, for some reason, Yan Huan suddenly thought of Tokyo Tower then.

Thus, he gradually tightened his grip on the still lively crab medicine.

"Beep... beep..."

At this moment, near Ye International Building,

Ye Lan walked out of the employee dormitories worriedly with a frown; evidently, she hadn't found Ye Shiyu.

One moment she was staring at the Plane on her phone, the next she instinctively glanced at the building.

Could it be...

Shiyu is inside?

"..."

Ye Lan furrowed her brow but still clutched her umbrella and ran toward Ye International Building, fearing that something might happen to her daughter.

"Drip... drizzle..."

Inside the building, in the AI server room that Ye Shiyu had once wrecked.

The screen, originally destroyed by Ye Shiyu, started flickering again with a ghostly purple light.

"Buzz!"

[Fragment absorption successful, repairing modifier, repair successful!]
