This was too much.

It was not the first time she had faced such a situation.

But the indescribable sense of failure still spread from the bottom of her heart.

That's right.

She had always been such a useless person.

Whether it was before she cultivated and transformed …

Or after she cultivated and became an immortal …

Even the identity of a God that he now had was considered as compensation by others.

She had cultivated the Three Thousand Paths and experienced the so-called "Eight Million Gods". Facing the Night Fight that was clearly at the bottom but still striving to be at the top, as a God, Huaguo had long since obtained everything he had hoped for.

But looking at him, other than envy, Huaguo also had a trace of indescribable jealousy in the abyss of her heart.

Jealousy that he knew what she wanted.

Jealousy that he had been working hard for it.

Jealousy that he …

He was different from her.

Huaguo raised her head to look at the young man in front of her who seemed to have victory in his grasp. Dense beads of sweat began to ooze out from her pale forehead. There seemed to be a ball of fire burning in her heart. It was like boiling water that was gradually boiling, and the surging bubbles were about to flip the lid off.

Her fingers, which were hidden behind her dress, began to tremble slightly.

Anger.

Disgust for herself.

Even …

And the denial of her own existence.

But after experiencing so many worlds, she would no longer be as stubborn as before.

If everyone had a purpose for everything they did, then there would not be so many evildoers in this world.

If you were weak, others could bully you.

The habit of the strong preying on the weak existed even among animals that had not been enlightened.

Not to mention people who were much more complicated than that.

But if one day …

As long as one day …

Huaguo leaned against the wall and slowly sat down. She did not continue to struggle. Her emotionless face did not reveal any emotions, as if she had tacitly agreed to the other party's suggestion.

The winter's bitter cold hit her in the face. Outside the window, the sound of dense raindrops hitting the leaves could be heard. The storm was pouring.

Moist water vapor mixed with the cold wind whistled in through the already empty window.

After taking away the little heat in the room, it added a bit of gloominess.

Watching Wuji and Shimura being taken away, the feeling of helplessness and disgust instantly reached its peak.

Huaguo was soaked in sweat and felt uncomfortable, but she curled up on the spot without moving.

She lowered her head and looked at Chivalry who was holding something that looked like a game console in his hand and gradually approached her.

"Alright."

"Don't make such an expression."

Her fair fingers poked Huaguo's cheeks, causing her to clutch her chest for no reason. She could clearly feel the turbulent emotions inside her, and her heart was thumping wildly.

Fear and loathing.

The meaning in her eyes was clear, but when the knight in front of her met her gaze, his body did not even tremble. He abruptly held her waist and pulled her up from the ground. At the same time, he also held her tightly in his arms.

Their eyes met, and their breaths intertwined.

A suspicious blush spread on his face little by little. Huaguo, who felt the cold sweat on her back uncomfortably, didn't believe that he was shy.

After all, who would be shy? His eyes would get bigger and bigger, and the space between them would get smaller and smaller, almost pressing his forehead against hers?

And Huaguo, who had just been "threatened", didn't want to see him like this at the moment.

She looked away, and her arms, which were originally useless, began to secretly resist.

But Chivalry's eyes curved slightly, as if he didn't feel her disgust at all. Instead, he spoke in a low and hoarse voice that only she could hear —

"Why don't you kiss me again?"

Shameless.

"Not kissing?"

His originally round eyes narrowed into slender slits, and he looked exactly like a fox. "Then I can't guarantee that when you're not around —"

He stopped there.

But the chilliness that leaked out didn't lessen at all with his unfinished words.

Huaguo was provoked by this honest and evil look, and laughed out of anger.

But.

She laughed and laughed.

But the sense of powerlessness was surging more and more.

She had never hated herself so much before.

.....

.....

"There's no room to maneuver?"

"What do you think?" An intimate whisper sounded close to her ear, as if the two of them were passionately in love.

But that pair of clear eyes was like a basin of cold water that was poured from head to toe.

When a beast caught its prey, other than filling its stomach, it would also tease it with interest.

After all, if it was eaten directly —

Wouldn't it be meaningless?

The Island of Greed.

It was the game that Chivalry brought over. The creator of the game instilled Psyche into a hundred software. As long as the game started, the attached Psyche would also be activated, and the player would be pulled into the game.

As long as the player was in the game, even if the console was unplugged, the game would still continue, and the console couldn't be destroyed. The game would stop when the player died, or they could only come back when they found a save point.

But as far as he knew, the only person who had cleared the game so far was Little Jie.

Although it was inconceivable, almost everyone in the exploration team had tried it before.

The news of finding a Psyche Exorcist in the game was also from Caesar. But bearing in mind that the exploration team members couldn't meet the captain, Chivalry had an inexplicable confidence in Huaguo, whom he had his eyes on.

If the captain succeeded in eliminating Psyche Exorcism this time, not only would he teach Caesar a lesson, he might even be able to pull her into the exploration team as a new member.

"Come." The low voice was like a demon's whisper. "Open it."

What was placed in front of Huaguo wasn't a simple console, but a Pandora's Box.

But looking at Chivalry's expression, she didn't think that this console would be something simple from the start.

He hesitantly took it and shook it. Then, he saw the impatient look on the Feitan's face.

Then, she followed the instructions on the side and installed the memory card in the console.

Next —

Activate … Psychokinesis?

Huaguo, who was holding the small piece of paper in his hand, braced himself and looked at the exploration team members around him.

She didn't know how to …

"Hurry up."

Originally, Feitan's expression was not good after dilly-dallying over such a small matter.

This time, the few of them had gathered together to deal with the ants in Meteor Street. Who knew that Chivalry would pick up these people?

Although he still looked like he was in a bad mood, how could Feitan, who was already used to his temper, not know what he was thinking?

It was one thing to not want to be nosy.

It was another thing to want to see a joke.

Anyway, he felt very bored.

"I don't know how to use Psychokinesis." After hearing Feitan's "bad mood" urging, Huaguo's temper flared up.

He casually threw the game console in his hand and put on a helpless expression.

She had already tried, but her ability was not enough for her to open the game.

It seemed like —

She really needed Psychokinesis to open the game.

However, no one in the crowd believed her even though she spoke the truth with a magnanimous look on her face.

"You don't know how to use Psychokinesis?"

Feitan raised the umbrella in her hand. "Heh —"

Psychokinesis was actually not much different from the abilities in other worlds. After all, it was a type of energy. Even though Huaguo's original strength was suppressed, he was still in a sorry state.

However, after dodging Feitan's attacks a few times, he noticed that her eyes were starting to light up.

Seeing that the next attack was about to hit her, Huaguo suddenly froze on the spot as she thought about what had happened before.

He thought that the sword in the umbrella would directly pierce through his body, but he did not expect it to stop at the tip of his nose. It was just a little bit away from piercing through his heart.

"Why aren't you dodging?"

His originally happy mood became irritable.

As expected.

In this exploration team —

There were no normal people.

"Are you testing me?"

Seeing that Huaguo did not respond to his question, Feitan, who was forced to stop in the middle of the attack, was obviously trying to control his emotions.

Chivalry, who was originally watching from the sidelines, could not help but try to mediate the situation.

"Ma — Ma."

The young man turned sideways and half covered Feitan behind him, blocking the possibility of the two of them looking at each other. It was unknown who he was protecting.

"It seems like I didn't think it through enough."

The way he looked at Huaguo seemed to be as pure as a baby's face.

"How about I teach you?"
