"Actually, Xiao Huan, when you died, besides being scared, I actually felt somewhat relieved... because, if I can't have it, neither can they. Isn't that great...

"I could even steal Xiao Huan's body, and we'd always be together...

"But why... why..."

Ye Shiyu moved a bit closer to Yan Huan, lips slightly parted, Yan Huan could vaguely see her mouth.

At this moment, if Yan Huan exerted force, he could directly shove the Crab Medicine into her mouth.

"As long as they give up, and I don't, I'll have the chance to kill them all and then... keep Xiao Huan to myself... so, why should I eat..."

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan's fist slowly clenched.

"..."

But the next second, his fist suddenly relaxed.

He just looked at Ye Shiyu before him and suddenly asked,

"Earlier, the three of them ate the Crab Medicine, the modifier's progress reset to zero, Aria is unconscious, why didn't you make a move, why did you run?"

"Huh?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Shiyu seemed to be suddenly taken aback, as if Yan Huan's question stumped her.

Seeing this, Yan Huan just closed his eyes and softly said,

"Do you know, during the time I was dead, I visited a really wonderful place...

"There, I saw you, who would become my wife in the future...

"She was as quiet as you, expressionless...

"She cared a lot about me, saw through my worries, told me many things, helped me come up with a way to return...

"For the first time, it made me feel that being together with you in the future might be nice too..."

As he spoke, Yan Huan opened his eyes and finally said,

"So... I'm not afraid of you anymore, Ye Shiyu...

"Or should I say, Index Finger?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Shiyu facing him widened her eyes...

Cracks slowly appeared on her body.

[Defeated...defeated...]

[Sizzle...sizzle!!]

But this time, before the virtual text could complete, the scene before him gradually collapsed.

Replaced by Ye Shiyu kneeling on the ground, staring at him with intense fear.

Her hands limply fell to her sides, but her head tilted strangely, like a puppet hung by invisible threads...

Only her face remained pale, marked by extreme fear.

That fear spurred the terrifying presence inside her, a little further and her modifier would instantly undergo a qualitative change.

And... 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

This defeat CG wasn't happening instantly...

It was synchronized with reality!

If in the previous defeat CG, Yan Huan had succumbed to rage and fear, forcing Ye Shiyu to take the Crab Medicine...

Ye Shiyu's fear would certainly have advanced further...

The modifier would surely explode!

Once again, Yan Huan, nearly fooled, took a deep breath.

"I...I didn't mean to harm you... I just... don't want to become a vegetable like you... Xiao Huan..."

"I understand... I'm not blaming you, Sister Shiyu..."

In front of him, Ye Shiyu, consumed by fear and with eyes slowly cracking, stared blankly at Yan Huan...

Upon hearing Yan Huan's words, her eyes trembled slightly, seemingly finally showing some reaction.

"Sister Shiyu, listen to me, stay calm... don't be afraid, okay?"

Seeing this, Yan Huan took a deep breath and quickly squatted down, picking up the Crab Medicine, softly encouraging.

At this moment, deep in Ye Shiyu's eyes, cracks were multiplying, as if something was about to break free, reminding Yan Huan of the urgency.

Just slowly...

Slowly...

"Sister Shiyu, look at me... I'm here..."

"Xiao... Xiao Huan..."

Ye Shiyu's eyes were completely clouded, utterly unable to reflect Yan Huan's voice.

Yet as Yan Huan approached, she seemed to sense something, her trembling lips parted as a tear fell down.

"Sister Shiyu, open your mouth, okay? I can help you..."

"Xiao... Huan..."

Before him, Ye Shiyu's eyes were filled with cracks.

She seemed unable to see or feel anything...

Except endless fear.

But at this moment, she still trembled and tried to slowly open...

This is the moment!

Seeing this, Yan Huan quickly raised the Crab Medicine.

"Buzz..."

"Snap!"

However, just at that moment, a gentle hand suddenly clapped on Ye Shiyu's shoulder.

"Shiyu...

"Actually, no matter what you do... nothing can change...

"Whether it's me... or Xiao Huan... we're all deceiving you..."

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan's eyes narrowed.

He raised his eyes in disbelief and saw Ye Lan, head lowered, gently gripping Ye Shiyu's shoulder with hollow eyes.

"Ugh!"

And at the moment Ye Lan spoke, Ye Shiyu's body shuddered violently, and her lips, slightly parted before, immediately closed.

Seeing this, Yan Huan's eyes instantly turned red,

"Index Finger, you son of a !!"

But at this moment, as Ye Lan spoke softly, it seemed to awaken the deepest fear within Ye Shiyu.

"Buzz!!"

In an instant, the cracks in Ye Shiyu's eyes shattered...

"Crack crack crack crack!!!"

A wave of illusory shock erupted from Ye Shiyu's body, sending Yan Huan flying.

Yan Huan rolled twice on the ground, quickly looking up and seeing...

From the cracks in Ye Shiyu's right eye, threads shot out like a volcanic eruption.

"Buzz!!"

The illusory threads penetrated Ye International's building, shooting straight into the sky...

Then, like fireworks blooming, they fell towards the ground.

In mid-air, the white threads instantly split into tens of thousands, then precisely descended into every hand holding a cellphone.

"Whoosh..."

Meanwhile on the ground, pedestrians continued walking, completely unaware of what had happened.
