"Lin Feng, Lin Feng!"
"Lin Feng! Wake up quickly!"
In the white space, someone was calling Lin Feng's name.
"Huh? System?"
Lin Feng heard it vaguely and mumbled.
He was drifting in the white space, with only a translucent soul body left.
His mind was in chaos, and Lin Feng felt unable to think, as if he hadn't slept for three days and three nights.
This was the first time he had been so exhausted since he transformed into Superman.
He tried hard to open his eyes but found he couldn't. All he could hear was the system calling him repeatedly.
"Yes, it's me, host Lin Feng! The system is back!"
The system's voice sounded again, with an inexplicable sense of relief.
Dazed, Lin Feng smiled.
"It's good that you're back, good that you're back..."
His voice was so low it was barely audible. After speaking, Lin Feng fell into a deep sleep again...
The white space fell silent for a moment, and then the system's voice came again.
"Sleep, sleep."
"Your body is being rebuilt. Don't worry, after the reconstruction, you will become even stronger..."
"It's good that you listened to me and used almost all your reputation points to exchange for an extra life instead of the golden Superman."
"Otherwise, that guy would have succeeded..."
After muttering to himself for a while, the system fell silent.
The way it spoke made it seem as if it hadn't been the one tempting Lin Feng to buy the golden Superman body earlier...
...
Luo Yongtian and Egat stared at the screen, stunned.
In the image, Zero's identity and actions were beyond doubt.
After a long while, Luo Yongtian leaned back on the sofa powerlessly and sighed.
"It's over, it's over again..."
"Finally, I encountered such a perfect opportunity, and it's gone again..."
Rubbing his forehead, Luo Yongtian felt a dull ache in his temples.
With Zero's appearance, there was no hope for Shanhai to survive.
As for how Shanhai disappeared, Zero offered no explanation, and no one saw it.
Luo Yongtian and Egat had not seen it either.
But no one would doubt Zero's words.
However, Egat still held a sliver of doubt.
"Do you think there's a possibility Shanhai isn't dead?"
He stared intently at the terminal screen, seemingly unable to accept the fact of Shanhai's death.
Luo Yongtian shook his head with a hint of pity.
"I know how you feel, Egat, but Zero has already appeared."
In Luo Yongtian's eyes, such words were like a deathbed struggle.
Egat remained stubborn: "But we didn't see what caused Shanhai's death, or rather, his disappearance..."
Luo Yongtian sighed again, frowning and shaking his head.
"What's the point of dwelling on this now?"
"Whether dead or disappeared, Shanhai is gone!"
"Shanhai's disappearance means we've lost an indispensable part of our combat power."
"Those plans will also be shelved along with Shanhai..."
Luo Yongtian didn't have the heart to crush Egat's spirit, but reality was often so cruel.
Luo Yongtian was older, had seen more, and his mindset changed more easily.
Although he had been mentally prepared and had made complete backup plans,
this sudden disappearance, coupled with Zero's appearance, made those plans as fragile as paper.
What was the use of plans if the person was nowhere to be found?!
Now, Luo Yongtian felt he should be thinking about how to protect his adopted son, Luo Da.
"I have a premonition that Shanhai is still alive..."
Egat closed his eyes and pressed his temples.
A single, large "Hope!" echoed in his mind.
"Stop thinking about that."
"If Shanhai is still alive, where is he now?" Luo Yongtian retorted.
"Rather, if Shanhai hadn't disappeared and was captured by Zero, that would be the worst-case scenario we should be worried about..."
Egat fell silent for a moment and nodded heavily.
He agreed with Luo Yongtian's idea.
From the beginning, Zero had treated Shanhai in a peculiar way.
From ignoring him to Shanhai's sudden disappearance and reappearance in a boss battle.
All these events did not align with Zero's usual behavior.
But both Luo Yongtian and Egat could see that Zero didn't seem to like Shanhai much.
They even suspected that Shanhai's disappearance might have been orchestrated by Zero from behind the scenes.
If Shanhai hadn't disappeared, and if he were captured by Zero, what would happen if he revealed them?
Thinking of this, Egat suddenly froze.
A ridiculous idea struck him.
Following it, a great sense of panic surged in his heart.
"I say, Old Luo, Shanhai, could he be Zero's alt account..."
Egat's voice trembled slightly.
Luo Yongtian was also taken aback upon hearing this.
"Alt account?"
He murmured, and once he understood the meaning, his pupils began to tremble.
Damn it!
If that were true, they would be in serious trouble!
The simple words "alt account" represented something as earth-shattering as a thunderclap.
Luo Yongtian didn't immediately dismiss Egat's wild idea. Instead, he mentally replayed every scene of Shanhai's appearance and actions.
Unknown resources, unknown power, the intention to destroy the Black Robe.
Alt account!
Egat was right.
If Shanhai was Egat's alt account, used to ferret out disloyal subordinates within the Black Robe organization, then Shanhai's incomprehensible and strange combat power would make perfect sense!
He's Zero's alt!
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Luo Yongtian began to sweat.
Heaven forbid, he and Egat had already revealed their cards in front of Shanhai!
If this was really Zero's alt account, they probably wouldn't survive today!
Egat, standing beside him, also fell into deep suspicion.
He felt like running away.
Running away now...
However, in front of Zero, running away would be useless, right...
...
Regardless of what the two were thinking, in the ultra-solid universe, Zero's mood was exceptionally good at this moment.
Raising his hand, Zero began to operate the terminal, and the words "Victory for the Seventh Faction" appeared on all terminals.
Next, it was time to leave. Zero needed to go into seclusion for a while to study a wall.
He had been paying attention to Shanhai's every move from the beginning and knew he was Lin Feng.
The fragment that Joseph gave Egat, which made Lin Feng disappear, was also given by him.
The purpose was to erase Lin Feng's existence.
Of course, the momentary pause when Lin Feng tried to evade earlier was also his doing.
Playing these dirty tricks wasn't because Zero was afraid to confront Lin Feng directly.
It was because Lin Feng was an extremely special existence, and Zero preferred to resolve him using a more secure method.
As you can see, with almost no effort, this somewhat troublesome enemy has been completely eradicated without a trace.
