They already have a chat group, why bother with the plot?

Ling Yu only made a slight move, and he blew the other person's brain apart.

As a result, Lin Mang, Lin Hong, and Lin Shan had no recollection of ever provoking someone named Xiao Yan.

At the same time, Lin Zhentian was also upset because of Lin Mang's self-inflicted loss of cultivation.

Of course, none of this affects Lin Xiao's family.

After all, they hadn't contacted their previous employer for almost ten years since they moved out.

So if something really happens, it won't reach Lin Xiao immediately.

When Ling Yu got home

It's very late.

The first thing Ling Yu did upon returning was to rush to the bed.

As someone who would rather sit than stand and lie down than sit, the allure of a bed to Ling Yu is unimaginable.

After tossing and turning for a while, Ling Yu finally remembered that she hadn't been to the group chat since this morning.

So I immediately went into the group chat and greeted everyone.

Ling Yu: "Good evening, everyone."

Little Fairy Doctor: "Ling Yu, you had a lot of fun with Qing Tan today, you didn't even bother to join the group chat."

Little Fairy Doctor was the first to speak after seeing Ling Yu's message.

However, his tone was strange.

Alice: "I think it's quite normal. When Brother Ling Yu went to see Sister Little Fairy Doctor, he didn't come to the group chat for a whole day."

Children are indeed children; their innocent and naive words are flawless.

Little Fairy Doctor choked.

Because this... is undeniable.

Little Fairy Doctor: "I just feel a little bored."

Lin Qingtan: "Little Fairy Doctor, are you thinking about Brother Ling Yu?"

Little Fairy Doctor: "!!! I, I didn't!"

Alice: "Ling Yu once said, arrogance ruins your life."

Little Medical Fairy: "..."

Little Fairy Doctor suddenly felt as if she had a fishbone stuck in her throat.

Now she was in a dilemma.

You've already said everything, haven't you!

Ling Yu: "Let me see what's going on. Who wants to chat with me?"

Alice: "I want to!"

Ling Yu: "Come on, little Alice, tell your brother what interesting things happened today."

Alice: "Well, I plan to go to the End Mountains with Kirito and the others tomorrow to find ice that can extend the lifespan of food."

Ling Yu: "???"

Upon seeing these words, Ling Yu immediately sat up in bed with a jolt.

The sudden movement startled the fairy Ellie.

However, Ling Yu didn't care about any of that and quickly edited the text before sending it.

Ling Yu: "Why are you thinking of going to find ice? Is the group chat space not working?"

Alice: "No, it's because the group chat space is too powerful. As long as the food is put in, there will be no loss of life, which makes people suspicious."

Ling Yu was speechless.

Sometimes, things being too good can be a problem.

However, he still had to stop Alice from entering the End Mountains.

Ling Yu: "Little Alice, do you want to become an Integrity Knight?"

"Integrity Knights?"

Alice, sitting on the bed, was taken aback by these words and instinctively spoke up.

With a slight sense of doubt in her heart, she typed on the chat page.

Alice: "I don't have such lofty ideals as Integrity Knights, and my calling is destined not to make me a knight."

In the human world set in the Middle Ages, knights are a very prestigious profession, let alone Integrity Knights.

This is not a title that the village chief of a small border village like Lulit Village can bestow. Even if she wanted to, she could only be a swordsman at most.

Alice: "Brother Lingyu, why did you suddenly ask this question?"

Ling Yu: "The so-called Integrity Knights are people whose memories are erased by the High Priest of the Axiom Church, Authornesdoret, who has violated the Taboo Index or won the Four Empires Unification Conference. Instead, they are implanted with memories of loyalty to the Axiom Church, making them his subordinates as Integrity Knights."

Alice: "Erase, erase the memory?"

Alice was stunned.

He was clearly frightened by Ling Yu's words.

Because she never imagined that the Axiom Church, which maintained order in the human world, was hiding such darkness.

Ling Yu: "I can say that if I hadn't reminded you today, you would have triggered the Taboo Index when you went to the End Mountains, and then been taken to the Axiom Church by the Integrity Knights, had your memories erased and become an Integrity Knight, and then turned against Kirito and Eugeo with swords."

Alice: "I'm not going, I'm not going!"

Alice was startled when she heard that she was going to fight her two friends, and she shook her head like a rattle-drum.

At the same time, his fear of the End Mountains grew even stronger.

Their trip to find ice was already a risky undertaking, but after hearing what Ling Yu said, she completely gave up on the idea.

Little Fairy Doctor: "@Ling Yu, the High Priest has the ability to erase memories, can you handle that?"

Ling Yu: "Then you've come to the right person. I may not be the best, but when it comes to matters of the mind, I'm second to none."

Lin Qingtan: "Brother Ling Yu, you're so shameless."

Ling Yu: "Hehe."

Lin Qingtan: "What does 'heh' mean?"

Little Fairy Doctor: "If you can handle this, Ling Yu, then things will be much easier."

Ling Yu: "What do you mean?"

Little Fairy Doctor: "Before I begin, I have another question. According to the story's development, is Alice's entry into the Axiom Church a good thing or a bad thing?"

Ling Yu: "In conclusion, it's good. Not only did I become the second-ranked Integrity Knight in the Axiom Church, but I also obtained the divine artifact, the Golden Osmanthus Sword."

Alice: "The second Integrity Knight, me, me?"

Alice pointed to herself in disbelief; the words looked so unreal to her.

Ling Yu: "Of course, there are also bad things, such as Eugeo dying in the end, at the hands of the High Priest."

Alice: "!!!"

Alice: "Yes, was it to save me?"

Even if you can't see her, you can imagine that Alice's voice is trembling at this moment.

Recalling Ling Yu's earlier mention of erasing memories, she quickly connected it to the cause of Eugeo's death.

Lin Qingtan: "Little Alice, don't get excited. None of this has happened yet, and it can be changed."

Alice: "I know, but just thinking about that scene makes me..."

Curled up in her bed, Alice was filled with self-reproach.

If she violated the taboo list, then she should bear the responsibility, not let her best friend lose her life.

Little Fairy Doctor: "Actually, I don't think becoming an Integrity Knight is a bad thing, of course, provided that Alice preserves her own consciousness."

Ling Yu: "You mean..."

Little Fairy Doctor: "Yes, as long as we talk to our companions in advance, and Alice can preserve her consciousness, then being taken away to become an Integrity Knight can be regarded as a training experience."

Ling Yu: "The day the broken sword is reforged will be the day the knight returns!"

Little Fairy Doctor: "Although it's a bit cruel to say this, @Alice, it takes power to protect someone."

Ling Yu: "I completely agree with that."

Lin Qingtan: "I agree too!"

Having been enlightened by Ling Yu, Lin Qingtan has been completely awakened and has come to deeply realize the importance of strength.

Chapter 41 To Protect the Village

Looking at everyone's messages in the group, Alice was caught in a dilemma.

On the one hand, she had no interest in this, and on the other hand, she understood the convenience that power and authority could bring.

Just then, a notification sound rang out, drawing her attention.

Ling Yu: "@Alice, before you make your choice, I have something to tell you."

Ling Yu: "It is predicted that eight years from now, the Dark Empire will go to war with the human world for some reason, and Lulit Village will be the first to be affected."

Alice: "!!!"

These words were like a bombshell, exploding in Alice's heart.

Ling Yu: "I'm sorry, the peaceful days you envision may not last that long."

Little Fairy Doctor: "It seems that Alice has no choice."

Although surprised by Ling Yu's sudden words, Little Fairy Doctor understood the key point.

Since it's a story, it definitely needs a difficult journey and some engaging elements.

This so-called great war may be the final plot of the story in Alice's world.

Ling Yu: "From the current perspective, yes."

Alice's world, to put it nicely, is a new virtual world called "Underworld," but to put it bluntly, it's just a string of code.

How we decide to proceed depends on what others say.

Of course, even if it's just code, Alice's consciousness is genuine, because that light is indeed a kind of soul.

"How could this be? There's actually a war..."

Upon learning that a war would break out in the future, Alice's fair face visibly showed panic. The shock of this news was truly beyond what an eleven-year-old girl could bear.

This terrified Alice even more than when she learned of Eugeo's death.

Because this means that a large number of people will die.

Including her parents, sister...

Thinking about this, Alice couldn't help but tremble.

She was, after all, an eleven-year-old girl. Knowing her predetermined fate, how could she not be afraid?

Lin Qingtan: "@Ling Yu, Brother Ling Yu, can't this future be changed?"

Ling Yu: "Of course."

If it were the world where Qingtan lived, Ling Yu might not have a solution, but for him, as the Herrscher of Reason, analyzing the Underworld where Alice lived would be far too easy.

Once he constructs the core of the Corruptor and devours and masters it, the so-called UW world will be nothing more than a plaything in Ling Yu's hands.

Alice: "Brother Ling Yu, do you have a solution?!"

Alice asked excitedly, as if she had grasped at a straw.

Ling Yu: "I'm not just for show. How could I stand by and watch my lovely little sister suffer?"

Ling Yu: "The reason I'm telling you this isn't to make you worry about the future, but to tell you that strength is the foundation of everything. As long as you're strong enough, you can end the war without losing a single person."
