Chapter 1815: Who is the good person?

No longer humble, no longer addressing No. 77 as 'you'.

Perhaps, knowing he could no longer survive, he had figured out what was really going on.

At this moment, the Starfield Overseer seemed to have completely lost hope, questioning the Scarlet Eye.

If he must die, he wants to die with understanding!

Sure enough, it matched his judgment.

After he resignedly spoke these words, No. 77 did not interrupt him, merely letting him continue.

"From the moment this kid entered the battlefield, did this scheme begin?"

"I've always wondered why a mere Fourth Stage would bear the title Star Shatterer and be placed by the System into its own faction."

"I've also wondered where his Calamity Power comes from! It can even destroy the battlefield!"

As if, before death, trying to understand why they ended up in such a situation.

While speaking, the Starfield Overseer gave a cold laugh, his blood‑filled eyes brimming with utter hatred!

"It's you!"

"Did you give this kid the Calamity Power? You deliberately arranged for him to enter the battlefield, then triggered the Calamity to draw my attention!"

"You calculated that, as the Battlefield Administrator, I would inevitably stop all this at the last moment!"

"If all goes as expected, you've been waiting outside the battlefield all along, haven't you?"

A fierce shout born of extreme hatred.

No one knows how unwilling and hateful the Starfield Overseer feels at this moment!

A super expert, an Overseer Committee scheming against him in the shadows! This is unfair! It's nothing but a deliberate trap to get him killed!

Faced with the Starfield Overseer's questioning, No. 77 showed no reaction, still lofty and silent.

Seeing No. 77 behave this way, the Starfield Overseer's sorrow deepened.

He naturally knows why this so‑called Committee refuses to admit these things.

But it doesn't matter; he just needs to vent! Even in death he must speak out!

"Heh..."

"You want this kid to complete the mission, to earn extra rewards with his Fourth Stage status."

"But you don't want him to finish the final step, right?"

"How... touching... you really went to great lengths!"

His gaze was spiteful and jealous.

The Starfield Overseer gave a bitter laugh, feeling that he and his companions were utterly ridiculous.

"I am the overseer of this mission; I can terminate it, or I can outright declare it completed! After all, the Starfield Battlefield is destroyed—whoever gets credit for completing the mission is up to me!"

"At least before the System restarts the battlefield, everything here is under my control!"

"So... you want me to forcibly settle the mission, but not credit it to this kid! Hand over the rewards after receiving them, right?"

"This way, the kid can earn the reward for killing nearly all Fifth Stages, receive the ultimate perfect reward, and evade the System's evaluation!"

"Tsk, this is truly a perfect plan!"

Having said that, the Starfield Overseer stared fixedly at the Scarlet Eye, at this vicious, cruel fiend!

Too ruthless! Really too ruthless!

The battlefield's destruction gave him the chance to forcibly settle the mission—just like the greed that first arose in him!

If it were merely settling the mission rewards on Lin An, that would be nothing—but the problem lies exactly here!

This so‑called Committee wants far more than that!

This demon not only wants to settle the rewards, but also to let her subordinate Lin An evade evaluation—and the price is that this battlefield overseer must die!

The reason is simple.

Forced settlement is no problem! But the System will definitely conduct a later review!

If the review can't find who took the rewards, then naturally he will bear the punishment!

How flawless, how ruthless a plan!

"Who would have thought—an Overseer Committee openly exploiting a loophole! A lofty Overseer who represents the System's surveillance, a super expert, scheming against us just for a Fourth Stage!"

"You traitor! Scum! Demon!"

"You think you can fool the System? You think my death makes your plan perfect? No. 77! The System will surely discover you! You'll die a worse death than me!"

With angry curses, the Starfield Overseer's spiteful curse swept over.

He knows his struggle is meaningless now; all he can do is vent his hatred!

He even realized why this Overseer Committee deliberately disguised itself, provoking them to act!

It's simple!

Even if his rank were lower, he is still an Overseer! His death will surely draw the System's attention, and even if No. 77 is a high‑ranking Committee, there will be peers of equal rank to investigate this!

Then... the perfect layout is to have them attack the Committee voluntarily, giving No. 77 a justifiable reason to intervene!

That way, their deaths won't implicate this Committee!

That's also why No. 77 has been pretending not to understand what he's saying, merely repeating the demand that he hand over Lin An's points!

Not a shred of evidence has been left behind.

It's hard to imagine, but the whole conspiracy likely began when Lin An entered the battlefield!

At the same time, hearing the Starfield Overseer's vitriolic tirade, Lin An instantly understood what was really going on.

Stunned, he couldn't help but look toward No. 77, the Overseer.

If what the Starfield Overseer said is true, then it would mean...

His reaction was lightning‑quick; under hyper‑effective thinking, Lin An's heart jolted, and the image of his first encounter with No. 77 flashed before his eyes!

Trial Tower!

His calamity rule was personally handed to him by No. 77!

(An interesting little creature...)

(I feel like I've seen you before?)

(Humans cannot oppose a stellar mission, but perhaps I can help you change your mission...)

One scene after another flashed quickly through Lin An's mind, like a thread, stringing together all the details he had never noticed.

Although it seemed fine, it was merely a coincidence.

But in an instant, Lin An's heart pounded, and a growing sense of unease erupted in his chest.

If everything was calculated... if everything was...

Why?!

Why?!

From the start, he actually couldn't understand why a lofty Overseer would help him so much!

Lin An knew very well that he was nothing! He was just an ordinary human! At best, he was half a 'lowly' monster!

But what is this?! What does it mean in an Overseer's eyes?!

Especially since No. 77 isn't an ordinary Overseer, but a higher-ranking commissioner!

In this world, there is never 'love and hate' without reason. If there is, it must be a deeper conspiracy and interest...

"Bang!!"

A cold explosion sound.

Without waiting for Lin An's thoughts to descend into chaos, he desperately pondered the truth behind it.

In an instant, amidst the sky filled with blood mist, the Stellar Overseer who had completely given up struggling exploded violently, dying before him.

Cold blood and eye discharge fell onto Lin An's mask.

Only seeing, as the Stellar Overseer died, a glowing red crystal slowly hovered above the corpse, its captivating light seemingly heralding the crystal's value.

That was the reward claimed by the Stellar Overseer, and also the perfect reward for this mission.

Almost at the same moment, the Stellar Overseer's dying words and No. 77's psychic transmission both drilled into his ears.

"Lin An...! You can't possibly be the kin of that monster, can you!? You and I... are just pawns! Perhaps you'll die even more miserably than me!! You're just a dog being used!"

"Lin An, take the final reward and we'll leave this place."

Two transmissions came one after another.

Clearly the former was an enemy, the Stellar Overseer's curse, the voice full of hatred.

The latter was the one who saved him, No. 77, with a gentle, soothing tone.

But for some unknown reason.

At this very moment, beneath the mask, Lin An's pupils suddenly constricted, feeling as if something had perhaps already begun to shift silently.

Who is..

"Good person."

Who is..

"Bad person"!?
