Chapter 2877 - 1364: My Everything

[The Remnant Rainbow] was lost, and of course Yi Dong knew about it.

To be precise, it wasn’t that he ’forgot something,’ but rather he had no time or energy to retrieve that very powerful medium. Judging from Motan’s tone when he sent the message, there was a nine out of ten chance he would lose control after making that strike. At the time, Yi Dong only had a few dozen seconds left in his [Super Spiritual Body] state. So, after [The Remnant Rainbow] was knocked away, Yi Dong decided, ’Though it’s certainly a pity, if I go to pick it up now, I will most likely die,’ and then he ran off without looking back.

However, he wasn’t particularly worried because most of the people on the scene were ’his own,’ aside from Double Leaf; they were mainly people associated with Motan. So even if he temporarily lost [The Remnant Rainbow], there was a strong possibility it would eventually find its way back to him. Additionally, after merging with the spirit inside and discovering that it wasn’t fond of him, he relaxed a little.

What he never expected was... he had left the scene for less than a minute, hadn’t even exited the [Super Spiritual Body] state, and the thing had already returned to its rightful owner.

And in such an eerie manner.

"I... should I say thank you..."

Yi Dong, shrouded entirely in black mist, chuckled dryly, wisely refraining from acting rashly. He carefully bent down to pick up the [The Remnant Rainbow] that had been thrown at his feet, trying his best to keep his demeanor and mindset intact, and responded with this sentence.

He knew running would be useless, because even if the [Super Spiritual Body] forcibly pushed him to the Epic Tier, he could only ’bully’ Double Leaf under the pressure of tier dominance. But if his opponent was a genuine Epic Strong Person, close to the level of the Epic Ceiling, there would be no room for resistance, even if his [Possession Merge: Super Spiritual Body] had no side effects.

Striving to maintain an inner calm, Yi Dong fixed his gaze on the woman in front of him. She had beautiful flaxen hair, wore round-rimmed glasses, with a delicately charming appearance, and an ethereally calm aura. She was dressed in a black robe, the Grand Astrologist for whom his best friend owed the most romantic debts in this game — Diana A. Achizolti. His mood was beyond complex.

At this moment, he received another message from Motan, which generally meant —

’Are you safe? The Super Spiritual Body should be expiring soon, be careful not to die, if possible, exit from the South Gate... or maybe the North Gate. I’ve made arrangements there in advance, so don’t worry about pursuers. The Law Enforcement Force is already spread out. If caught, even if some ignorant fool wants to arrest you, you can choose to cooperate obediently. Someone will find a way to get you to safety. Diana went after those four with Fenrir, but we don’t have to worry. Even if they’re caught, I just need to act clueless as ’Hei Fan,’ pretending to be used by ’Tan Mo.’ Hang in there, don’t die, I don’t have the money to sustain another character in the near term.’

Am I safe?

You’ve made advance arrangements?

No need to worry about pursuers?

Which the hell gate, South or North?

Diana went after those four?

[What the hell!!!]

Yi Dong first glanced at his message bar, then focused on Diana, then checked his message bar again before focusing on Diana, with about two million alpacas running through his mind, feeling utterly drained.

Why! Call! This! A surprise!

This! Is what you call! A surprise!

At this moment, the so-called Diana, who went to pursue those four with Fenrir, was standing coquettishly in front of him. Two seconds ago, she threw [The Remnant Rainbow] at him, while the jerk in the message bar pompously acted like they had everything under control, as if they had played a brilliant hand.

Of course, in most situations, Yi Dong believed that his Chaotic Neutral personality indeed played a brilliant hand. Even describing it as No Calculation Left was not excessive. But clearly, this time he crashed.

And the cost of his crash, nine out of ten, he himself had to pay...

[I really don’t want to pay!]

With a stiff and uncomfortable expression under the mask, while maintaining a high-fashionability exterior, Master Rin Winter sighed helplessly. Although it was far from a time for despair, after all, the other side hadn’t immediately killed him, the assassin who nearly slew both her partner and her apprentice, and had even kindly returned [The Remnant Rainbow].

Though maybe she intended to reclaim it later from his corpse... Motan could do such a thing, so perhaps Diana, as his ’girlfriend,’ might do the same.

However —

"No hurry to express gratitude."

Diana adjusted her glasses, then furrowed her brows slightly, uncertainly asking, "It’s just... your state doesn’t seem great, more precisely, it’s ’fine now, but about to turn awful’?"

Yi Dong twitched his mouth, dryly saying, "Whether it’s going to turn awful or not, makes no difference in front of you, Master Diana."

"Yes, but only no difference in front of me. You’re fine now, but if some time passes..."

Diana gently bit her lower lip, hesitated for two seconds, then softly said, following which she raised her hand and scattered a dazzling star shine, conjuring a phantom and disorientating ’door’ in the air, exactly like the door that appeared before Motan when he got stabbed by Yi Dong before: "Anyway, I’ll first take you to a safe place."
