I'm in Star Iron, and I draw power from the Inner World every week.

Aglaia glanced at Su Yang.

Su Yang immediately took out a quill pen and, without even using Xiao Aili, directly 'draw' a phantom image in front of him.

It was the phantom of the Fire Thief.

"?!" Bai E's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Bai E, could this guy be..." Wan Di seemed to understand.

“That’s right, without a doubt it’s this guy! He appeared with the Black Tide, and then he attacked my homeland…” Bai E gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and clenched his fists.

Everyone fell silent, and a sense of sadness gradually spread.

However, Su Yang alone maintained a strange attitude as he stared at Bai E.

"...?"

Just then, the true face beneath the mask of the Fire Thief appeared in Su Yang's mind.

He felt like he had seen him somewhere before.

Doesn't she look a bit like Bai E?

But Su Yang's rationality told him that this information could not be said directly.

He started contacting Aglaia's underwear:

"Aya, I've made a big discovery."

Chapter 96 Could you please crawl inside?

"What discovery?"

Fortunately, Su Yang's communication is no longer disrupted, allowing Aglaia to handle the situation calmly.

“I can see through the disguise. I saw the Fire Thief’s true face. He looks just like Bai E.”

"...Can you recreate that [memory]?"

"Yes, but I don't think we should show it in front of everyone. It could easily cause misunderstandings, make Bai E's situation awkward, and make his own feelings complicated."

"Good, it seems you've really grown. Let's confirm this privately later."

Aglaia temporarily cut off contact with Su Yang and spoke to end the somber atmosphere:

"Gentlemen, the Fire Thief has undoubtedly hindered the progress of the Fire Chase, so we must take this threat into account when we proceed."

"..." Bai E also calmed down a lot from his heavy emotions.

Because he looked at Su Yang, at that strong man who could always maintain a sunny disposition.

Su Yang is his role model and can be considered his idol.

This is not an exaggeration. Bai E had expressed this sentiment to Su Yang before; he genuinely admired Su Yang.

Full of energy and always considerate of his companions, he is always full of enthusiasm no matter what happens, and he never complains about giving to the people.

Bai E heard that Su Yang was the first to step forward and help Sai Feier in this incident, which prevented the situation from escalating.

Su Yang's greatness needs no further explanation.

“The biggest problem with the Fire Thief is that he may already have a spark of fire within him,” Aglaia continued.

"Hmm? But the fire that has not yet been returned... could it be [death]?" Xia Die's expression was subtle.

"The most likely candidate is indeed the long-lost [Death], but the aura emanating from that guy is unusual, and we need more information."

Aglaia has a keen sense of perception.

The instant the Fire Thief broke free of his restraints, she not only sensed an aura akin to fire, but also realized that the Fire Thief was holding back some of his power.

This is weird.

Since they are hostile units, it's truly baffling that they would rather be attacked than hold back this tactic.

In addition, Su Yang had just mentioned that the Fire Thief looked exactly like Bai E.

And the 'outer heavens' that Su Yang mentioned earlier...

Aglaia's thoughts drifted a little further away.

At this moment, Su Yang also stepped forward:

"Leave the intelligence to me. I'll try to get the information next time I see him. I apologize for the delay caused by my superiors." Su Yang felt slightly guilty.

Putting aside the initial [deterioration], he had every opportunity to use [recovery] when he punched the Fire Thief later.

There are many mysteries surrounding the Fire Thief, and understanding his [memories] will undoubtedly yield some valuable information.

“It was right not to act rashly. Besides, you are a ‘physician,’ so it should be our duty to be at the forefront. You don’t need to blame yourself,” Wan Di said first.

Wan Di still admires Su Yang's quick communication skills in the [dispute].

Besides, many of his clansmen had received favors from Su Yang, so naturally they found Su Yang agreeable.

"Okay, then let's not talk about this problem anymore. Anyway, we'll definitely do it next time."

"...Su Yang, you wouldn't be trying to obtain information using that special [reply], would you?" Xia Die asked with a worried expression.

"Yes, this is very efficient, and there's not much to worry about. My resistance is very high now, and I didn't feel much of a lingering effect when I used it on [Conflict] last time."

Everyone turned their attention to Aglaia, since ultimately it would depend on the leader's decision.

"Since Su Yang has made up his mind, all we can do is trust him."

.....

"Su Yang, why don't you reconsider?"

Aglaia and Su Yang went to a small room in the Garden of Life.

When she was alone with Su Yang, Aglaia lost the composure she had displayed as a leader, and her face was filled with worry.

Given the current situation with the Fire Thief, having Su Yang break the deadlock is undoubtedly the most efficient approach.

But as Su Yang's lover, she naturally didn't want to see him take such a risk.

"The operation has already been decided, hasn't it? Let Saifeier take me and Xiadie to find [Death]. If we encounter that guy, we'll use [Reply] on him while we're at it."

If you encounter fire thieves during the process, obtaining the fire source may not be so easy.

However, he can call for reinforcements at that time, and using [Reply] on the Fire Thief is also a crucial task.

"The premise is that his subsequent actions will be as 'mild' as these past few times, and that you really have no problem using [Reply] on him."

"Don't worry, we'll win." Su Yang's lips curled into a confident smile of invincibility.

“…”

"Sai Fei'er finally softened her stance. Let's leave it at that. I'm pretty much ready to accept it."

"Well, since you've brought it up so much..." Aglaia sighed in resignation.

"Let me show you this first." Su Yang took out a pink quill pen and scribbled a couple of times.

The true appearance of the Fire Thief was quickly and vividly depicted by Su Yang from his [memory].

“....." Aglaia fell silent.

"I didn't realize it at first glance, but the more I look at it, the more I feel that it is the same person as Bai E."

"Although it's somewhat unbelievable, this is indeed Bai E's appearance. But why would the Fire Thief Walker look exactly like Bai E? Is it some kind of 'imitation'?"

"Hard to say."

Su Yang had an even bolder idea in his mind.

Because he had previously held the stereotype of 'Kevin' about Bai Er.

Could it be that the Firewalker is 'Kevin' from last game, and then in this game he's the villain, serving as experience points for the main characters?

Will the Fire Thief finally reveal his true form and then say, "Step forward, for this is the inscription for salvation"?

But Su Yang could only think about it; he couldn't make any rash conclusions before replying to it.

"Thanks to this guy, Bai E has also made up his mind to begin the trial of [Conflict]."

"I think Bai E should be fine undergoing the trial."

"Perhaps, but even if there are problems, Wan Di will still try."

"Don't you need to go to the site and keep an eye on things?"

"Bai E hasn't gone to the core of the cosmic vortex yet, there's no rush."

"Oh."

"Are you feeling better now? How about I knit for you later?"

"I'm fine now. As for knitting, it depends on your schedule."

“Hmm~” Aglaia smiled.

In the small, not-so-spacious room, Aglaia's smile instantly created a pleasant atmosphere.

"...Aya, I've always had a bold idea."

"Hmm~?"

Next, Su Yang opened the Golden Thread Hundred Realms Gate and made a gesture of invitation:

"Could you please crawl inside?"

Chapter 97 Let go of the seamstress before you apologize

"Princess of the Snail House, what's so good about that Su Yang?"

Saifeier followed Xia Die and stopped in front of the flower shop.

Xia Die held a bunch of artificial flowers, looked at the fresh flowers in the store, and gently smelled the wafting fragrance. For a moment, she was in a daze.

"The Princess of Dwelling Narrowness?"

"Lady Saifeier... Even if you ask me that, I just like him. I feel that Su Yang is good in every way, except that he is a little mischievous and a little fickle at times."

"Invincible! You really need to think things through with the seamstress. You two must have been tricked by his special ability. This can't be called mutual affection at all."

"Why are you still fixated on this? Su Yang doesn't have that kind of ability. We were all attracted to his pure inner qualities for various reasons."

"Tch." Sai Fei'er felt that if she continued, Xia Die would say a lot more praising Su Yang.

"Furthermore, no matter what you say, Lady Saifeier, Lady Aglaia, Su Yang, and I are already inextricably linked."

"You still have the nerve to say that, even though I caught you red-handed at that moment."

"Um...actually, I didn't mean to bring that up." Xia Die's cheeks flushed.

She wanted to emphasize that she, Su Yang, and Aglaia were already in a relationship, and she had no intention of bringing up anything intimate.

"Tsk~ Your boyfriend is trying to pursue me right now, aren't you going to try to stop him?"

"Once Su Yang confirms his target, even ten Titans might not be able to pull him back. Besides, I think the most important thing is to see what Lady Sai Fei'er is willing to do."

What could I possibly mean by that?

"Lady Saifei seems to care about Su Yang quite a bit."

"What do I care about? That guy just annoys me. Even if I starve to death or jump off the Cloud Stone Palace, I will never like Su Yang."

"Really? But Lady Saifeier likes to lie." Xia Die's expression was subtle.

Sai Fei'er likes to lie, so if we reverse what she's saying now, wouldn't it mean she really likes Su Yang?

“…”

Sai Fei'er was somewhat speechless.

She, who usually had the upper hand in verbal exchanges, fell silent when it came to Su Yang.

She tugged at her hood, tossed the coin, and vanished instantly.

In the blink of an eye, Saifei arrived at the Garden of Life.

Su Yang and Aglaia still had important things to confirm privately, and the two were currently in a small room in the Garden of Life.
