The income of more than 200,000 emotional value once again filled the last gap in Lin Cheng's emotional value. Lin Cheng's emotional value balance reached eight digits again.

Emotional value: **

"Lin Cheng."

"What are you stealing joy about here alone?"

Mengmeng looked at Lin Cheng, whose mood had suddenly become very pleasant for no reason, and felt a bit strange.

For some time recently, Mengmeng could clearly feel that Lin Cheng's emotional fluctuations had become very large. Many times when he was sitting quietly by himself, the corners of his mouth would involuntarily curl up slightly.

This was something that had never happened in the year Mengmeng had spent with Lin Cheng before.

"Ah?"

"Haha, it's nothing big."

Hearing Mengmeng's slightly curious questioning voice, Lin Cheng also came back to his senses. He looked at Mengmeng and smiled slightly, "It's just that I thought of some happy and pleasant things."

"Happy and pleasant?"

Mengmeng looked at Lin Cheng suspiciously.

Instinctively, Mengmeng cast her gaze on Eclair, who was quietly cleaning and preparing for the evening business of the small tavern not far away.

If there was really anything happy or pleasant, Mengmeng felt it must be related to Eclair.

Plus, last night the two of them avoided her, letting her be busy alone.

"Lin Cheng."

"You wouldn't have fallen in love with Eclair, would you!"

A look of sudden realization appeared on Mengmeng's face!

In such a situation, Mengmeng felt that only love could make people happy and pleasant.

"Pfft!"

The tea Lin Cheng had just sipped sprayed out.

"Mengmeng!"

"What are you talking about here?!"

After hearing Mengmeng's voice, Eclair's face instantly turned flushed. She instinctively looked at Lin Cheng not far away in a panic, and then said somewhat flustered, "How could I fall in love with Lin Cheng?"

"No, why is it impossible to fall in love with me?"

"I don't think I'm ugly either."

After hearing Eclair's words, Lin Cheng casually took out a small mirror from under the bar, looked at his handsome self in the mirror, and said, "Besides, you don't have a boyfriend now, Eclair."

"I don't have a girlfriend either. I'm not saying we must fall in love, but it's not impossible, right?"

While speaking, Lin Cheng made a pose he thought was very handsome toward Eclair.

As Lin Cheng continued to speak, Eclair's face became increasingly flushed, and one could even vaguely see something like steam above Eclair's head.

"Alright, alright, no more jokes."

Looking at Eclair, who was already unable to speak due to shyness, Lin Cheng smiled slightly, stood up, and said, "I have something to go out for today. The business tonight will be left to Eclair and Mengmeng."

Everything on Sosuke Aizen's side was going very smoothly.

Under Sosuke Aizen's narration, Lin Cheng successfully harvested hundreds of thousands of emotional value from the Fire Dragon King Igneel inside Natsu, and then there was only one other left.

After leaving the small tavern, Lin Cheng took the mask that had already been customized and put it on.

If there were people around Lin Cheng at this time, they would be able to see the space around Lin Cheng gradually becoming distorted, and then the image displayed by the space would become an island with light rain.

Finally, with a twist, Lin Cheng disappeared.

It was drizzling with light rain in the sky.

Jellal was in his room, looking at the rain scene outside in a daze.

"You must be my new partner."

Pushing open Jellal's door and looking at Jellal, who was standing by the window in a daze, Lin Cheng, who had already put on his mask, smiled and said, "Why are you standing by the window so melancholically?"

"Who are you?"

Looking at Lin Cheng, who walked in on his own and started chattering, Jellal's brows furrowed.

Because Lin Cheng was wearing a mask, Jellal subconsciously used a detection-type magic.

The result was that he didn't detect anything.

The mask on Lin Cheng's face had been "blessed" by Sosuke Aizen using Kyoka Suigetsu.

Under normal circumstances, no one could see Lin Cheng's true appearance through the mask.

"I can be considered an intern member of the organization."

Lin Cheng looked at Jellal and smiled lightly, "If there are no accidents, we will be partners in the future!"

Facing Lin Cheng's statement, the expression on Jellal's face didn't change at all.

Looking at Lin Cheng, who sat on his bed on his own, Jellal said indifferently, "I didn't agree to join your Akatsuki organization."

"Oh?"

"I've heard all about it from the seniors in the organization."

Looking at Jellal, who had a calm expression, Lin Cheng smiled, "Could it be that my future companion, Mr. Jellal, hasn't given up on building the R-System and resurrecting Zeref, who hasn't become a deceased person?"

"Clearly, Zeref didn't die at all and has been living in this world all along."

As Lin Cheng's voice fell, Jellal, who hadn't looked at Lin Cheng straight on, was successfully attracted by Lin Cheng.

Turning his head slightly, he cast his gaze on Lin Cheng, looking at Lin Cheng's Tobi-version swirl-shaped orange mask that only revealed one eye, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "Your Akatsuki organization seems to know a lot of things."

"On what grounds do you determine that Zeref is able to live from the era four hundred years ago to the present?"

"Zeref's demons can live from four hundred years ago to the present, why can't Zeref?"

After hearing Jellal's question, Lin Cheng asked back, "Could it be that Zeref is weaker than the creations he created?"

"That's your assumption."

"In fact, Zeref has had no traces for hundreds of years."

Jellal looked at Lin Cheng and said, "I want to know, what is the reason you determine that Zeref is not dead and is still living in this world?"

Perhaps it was because of the social beating he had experienced.

Although there was no major change in Jellal's personality, his attitude had clearly become much more humble.

However, this was also a normal thing. In the past, Jellal felt that he could see the end of the world at a glance. He was super talented since he was a child, and he could even copy and cast magic after just one look.

Peerless among his peers, he caught up with the older generation one after another, and even played those older people around.

In such a situation, it was no wonder why the previous Jellal's personality and attitude were so bad.

"I don't know if you've heard of this name, Jellal."

Lin Cheng leaned on Jellal's quilt and pillow and said indifferently, "Ankhseram."

Ankhseram is the god who controls life and death in the Fairy Tail world.

Four hundred years ago, when Zeref was still in his childhood, because he studied the magic of 'life' and 'death' and succeeded, he touched the authority of the god of life and death, Ankhseram, and finally angered the god Ankhseram.

He was cursed by the god Ankhseram and spent four hundred years of life worse than death.

"Ankhseram?"

Jellal's brows furrowed, and he said, "Of course I know this, the god who controls the authority of life and death."

Although Jellal had been exceptionally proud and arrogant since being brainwashed, Jellal never skipped what he should do, and he didn't feel that he didn't need to learn anything or look at anything just because he was talented.

Therefore, Jellal still had some memory of the god Ankhseram, a cold god who was rarely recorded.

It was just that he only had some simple memories, and he didn't know anything more specific.

Jellal was able to answer now because his memory was superb, almost photographic.

"Zeref touched the authority of life and death four hundred years ago."

"He created a life called a demon and also successfully used the R-System to resurrect the dead."

Looking at Jellal, who had been successfully interested by him, Lin Cheng smiled and said, "Finally, he also successfully angered the god who controls the authority of life and death, the god Ankhseram."

"Cursed by the god, he suffered endless torture in endless time."

"Of course, he also got the only benefit for this, and that is having endless time."

As Lin Cheng continued to speak, Jellal's expression became increasingly gloomy.

Just like what Konan had said to him at the Tower of Heaven before, if everything Lin Cheng said now was true and he wasn't lying to him, wouldn't that just prove one point?

Eight years ago, when he was punished as a slave by the Black Magic Cult, there was a problem with the voice in his mind?

"Do you feel like there's a big problem with yourself?"

Looking at Jellal's gloomy face, a smile appeared on Lin Cheng's face, "Ultear, I think you shouldn't be a stranger to her, Jellal."

"If my intelligence here is not wrong, Ultear's identity should be a member of Grimoire Heart."

"Eight years ago, she went to the last island built with an R-System controlled by the Black Magic Cult."

"If these things can really be coincidental enough, then they should be able to connect."

"By the way, Jellal, what is your purpose in building the R-System to resurrect Zeref?"

Lin Cheng's repeated revelations had completely plunged Jellal into a situation of self-doubt.

It was just that Jellal's emotional value had been completely squeezed out by Lin Cheng at the Tower of Heaven before; otherwise, Lin Cheng's revelations now would definitely be able to harvest a lot of emotional value.
