Chapter 850

"Otherwise, I would not be in this state..."

At this point, Sakura's voice stopped abruptly.

No!

If she had already been corrupted, why would she wake up at this moment?

She looked down and found that the green haze that had once clung to her hand was gradually fading.

"...?"

The next moment, as if thinking of something: "Su...? Where are you... I cannot see you..."

Su: "I am right here..."

"It is just... no longer convenient to 【appear】."

Sakura's heart jumped: "What did you do to me? I should have... already been corrupted..."

Su did not hide it.

His tone remained as gentle as ever.

"I swapped part of your data with mine, circulating a portion of my composition into your memory body."

"I hope this intact data can delay your suffering."

Sakura: "... If you do this, you..."

"... You should have told me beforehand."

Su: "I am, after all, a healer; to see someone drowning and not save them goes against my heart."

"Moreover... time is pressing, and I did not have time to wait for you to wake up on your own."

"Compared to my temporary safety, for the current situation, whether you can act freely is more important."

"Only you possess the ability to trap any existence, even if it is only for a 【Moment】, that is enough."

Sakura: "..."

After a long while, Sakura only uttered four words.

"I understand..."

The situation was urgent; as an assassin, Sakura knew it was best to listen to the arrangements of this wise man.

Seeing this, the bullet comments exploded again.

This is a one-for-one trade...

No.

Su is using his own life to gamble on that one 【Moment】.

This way of completely disregarding his own life... is this what a Flame-Chaser is!

Subsequently, Su told Sakura his plan.

And the first part of their plan was—to face death directly.

Although the players did not yet know the specific content of the plan.

But those four words were truly blinding.

Sakura... is going to her death?!

The next moment, the game screen returned to Miss Yayi and the Herrscher of Corruption.

And the plot connected to the previous sub-chapter.

"The previous time, if you call it a 【clash】, it would be too far-fetched."

"So... let us start over, Herrscher of Corruption."

On screen, Sakura and Miss Yayi stood together.

And opposite them was the 【Herrscher of Corruption】 disguised as Elysia.

After Miss Yayi unleashed that terrifying strike, Su indeed locked onto Miss Yayi's position and sent Sakura over.

After seeing the conversation between Sakura and Su, the players understood that Sakura had come to "meet death"... to achieve a certain goal, to deal with the Herrscher of Corruption.

"Mm..." Hearing Sakura's cold words, the Herrscher of Corruption immediately put on a sad expression.

"Must things always turn out like this? Sakura~"

"I was clearly concerned for you, which is why I wanted you to stay out of it~"

This was Sakura's first time seeing the Herrscher of Corruption.

Originally, she was curious why this Herrscher of Corruption looked like Elysia.

Now, hearing her voice and that rather familiar tone...

"...?"

She couldn't help but cast a questioning look at Miss Yayi.

"Mm..." Miss Yayi nodded silently.

"It is not just the appearance; the personality is also shifting toward Elysia... I mean in the bad aspects."

"At first I was surprised, but now it seems... her goal should be the anti-Kevin weapon named 【Model 666】."

"She must 【become】 Elysia to seize the corresponding dominance."

After listening to Miss Yayi's explanation, Sakura understood.

"I see, a device for the 【curtain call】..."

Looking at that face of Elysia, Sakura's heart was truly quite heavy.

"Regarding the current situation, I have learned through the 【data】 circulated by Su, but fully understanding it will still take some time."

"Data circulation?" Miss Yayi immediately reacted: "You mean... Su also..."

Sakura nodded silently.

These words of hers, besides letting Miss Yayi know Su's current state, were also meant to dispel the concerns of the Herrscher of Corruption.

After all, the Herrscher of Corruption knew very well that when Sakura escaped, she had already been corrupted.

And Sakura's next 【goal】 had to make the Herrscher of Corruption lower her guard.

"Since things have come to this, let us trust his decision."

"Regardless, he bears the name of 【Wise Man】."

At this point, Sakura refocused her gaze on the Herrscher of Corruption: "An existence like her, is this currently the only case, right?"

Miss Yayi nodded: "Mm, maintaining this state is not easy for her; there should be a burden as well."

Sakura: "Then, as long as we can force her to stay here, or even, completely eradicate her..."

The conversation between Miss Yayi and Sakura did not avoid the Herrscher of Corruption at all.

They discussed her right in front of her face.

It felt a bit like... a loud conspiracy.

The Herrscher of Corruption did not interrupt the two, just watched and listened quietly.

Until she felt it was enough, she spoke to interrupt their conversation.

However, listening to the Herrscher of Corruption's voice and looking at her familiar appearance.

This imposter... even a gentle girl like Sakura felt her blood pressure rising.

"Although I do not wish to use this 【blade】 against her face."

As she spoke, Sakura slowly gripped the Seven Thunders of Retribution at her waist.

"The previous failure was because of your 【unexpected】 characteristic, but since I am now aware of this..."

A flash of the blade, followed by a soft hum.

Even a moment could not describe how brief this instant was.

When the screen unfolded again, Sakura had already held her blade to the Herrscher of Corruption's neck.

"Not being touched by you, it seems, is not difficult."

Held at knifepoint, the Herrscher of Corruption remained calm.

"Sakura~ are you really not going to reconsider?"

"The sight of you all working so hard, only to be in vain... I cannot bear to see it..."

As her tone shifted, like an ensemble seeing the conductor's baton fall, strange sounds rang out all around.

Immediately after, dense swarms of monsters began to surround them.

The number this time was several times more than when dealing with Miss Yayi alone. ===== CHAPTER 852 =====
