In the office, the sound of typing on the keyboard is endless.

Standing in the center is Ashkel, the chief of staff of the joint regiment who once proposed the "Hero Plan".

"The information was indeed compromised from within? Some of us are actually working as internal agents for the hackers..."

Ashkel hung up the communicator.

A few days ago, the news of Edward's madness was leaked together with their resource allocation plan. They found that the source of the news came from within the United Group, but they didn't know which bastard did it.

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a silver star walked in...

"...Su Mingan is here." The middle-aged man whispered.

Ashkel was slightly startled.

He is responsible for many handover matters of the United Group, but he has not heard of any invitation to the first player recently.

So, the first player came on his own initiative?

"Did he come by himself?" Ashkel smiled: "Why don't you hurry up and ask someone to greet him? He wants someone he knows well to greet him, preferably someone he knows like Hubert and Aini. He is here to greet him. What? Cooperation? Want to help us mediate public opinion? Or ask for team trading or equipment supply? It doesn’t matter, anything can satisfy him, I will rush over now..."

Eshkol and the man next to him used to be middle-aged men in their fifties, and they used to look down on young people.

But now, most of the people who are standing at the top of the world are young people. The first person on the list is 19 years old, and the second person is 25 years old. They are both at an age when it was difficult to even get a senior professional title in the past. Now But he has become an existence that strives for all mankind.

"No, he didn't come on his own initiative. He said he was invited by the joint group, but we didn't send any official invitation," the middle-aged man said.

After hearing this, Ashkel's smile suddenly disappeared:

"You mean there's a traitor using our name?"

He knew that the United Group was not as united as he imagined.

In this world where everything is up for grabs, except for those who are sincere and kind, few people are willing to be stepping stones to maintain order.

People in the organization are thinking about their future after the game is over.

Now they are sacrificing time and energy to prepare for a stable order. What will they do when everything is over and they have nothing? Will people at that time still remember the "old feelings of the United Regiment" during this year and protect them?

...Even Eshkol himself began to worry about the situation a year later. He is now the chief of staff of the United Regiment and has a high status, but what about after the game is over? He is definitely not an opponent of powerful players. At that time, he had no What should his wife and his son do if they enter the game?

"What is the first player here for?" Ashkel asked.

"It seems that someone invited him to come see Edward, and Yang Changxu went to greet him. I don't know which source the information came from..." the middle-aged man said.

"Absurd!" Ashkel roared, causing other people who were typing on the keyboard to turn around.

Visiting Edward? Is this possible?

The direct reason for Edward's madness was Su Ming'an. Isn't it exciting to ask Su Ming'an to visit Edward now? What bastard came up with this idea?

Eshkol even suspected that the two men would fight directly in the ward, greatly exacerbating the internal strife among humans.

He immediately put on his coat and rushed out the door, trying to stop the two of them before the situation escalated.

boom.

Su Mingan closed the door to the ward and sat down on the chair next to the hospital bed.

Outside the door were anxious medical staff, who dared not come in even if they wanted to.

Su Mingan noticed that there was fruit on Edward's bedside. He peeled a banana and pointed it at Edward.

"Come, want to eat?" Su Mingan asked.

"...Are you here to see my joke?" Edward sat on the bed, his face as gloomy as water.

There were still pillow hairs on his blond hair, falling like snowflakes on his blue and white hospital gown.

"If a person sees himself as a joke, then as long as others look at you, they will become a joke." Su Mingan said lightly: "Unless you don't see anyone from now on, leaving behind the progress and points of human beings , then you won’t be ‘joked’.”

He took a bite of the banana and stared at Edward.

Edward looked really haggard, with heavy dark circles under his eyes, and his figure had become thinner. There were even impact scars on his handsome face, perhaps caused by the impact when he collapsed.

Even at this moment, his fingers were scratching the sheets unconsciously, like arched eagle talons. His breathing was heavy and rapid, and his face was flushed with anger...or maybe he was on the verge of a mental breakdown. of red.

His state was very similar to Su Ming'an's state when he was on the verge of alienation. His eyes were empty and his breathing was rapid.

It's a pity that Su Ming'an came out of it, but Edward didn't.

Such a pitiful, hateful person, who is on the verge of collapse and struggling to death, locked here for treatment like a bird with its wings bound...is it Edward?

In Su Mingan's memory, this person always looked high-spirited. Although he was educated by the aristocracy, he was not as arrogant as the nouveau riche.

But there is always a sense of aloofness that looks down on the common people deep in his heart.

But now, this man was leaning on the bed, his whole body looked extremely fragile, his eyes were full of red threads, and he could hardly speak a complete sentence.

Edward is actually not stupid. From some clue decryption sessions, it can be seen that Edward is a very smart person and his Q is not low.

But this man was raised too pure. In other words, he was brainwashed too well. When he encountered the sophistication of the world, he became extremely stupid, as if he had been deliberately suppressed in a certain aspect of his growth.

...It's really scary, United Group.

Su Mingan began to peel the apple.

Edward wanted to drive people out, but when he thought that his strength points would not be as good as Su Ming'an's, he gave up.

"No one invited you to come see me, get out of here!" Edward shouted.

"No one invited you?" Su Mingan said softly: "It seems that there are a lot of ghosts in the joint group, and this kind of invitation can be sent to the wrong person."

Edward's eyes were fixed on his face.

"Or" Su Mingan threw the banana peel into the trash can, raised his eyelids, and looked into Edward's eyes: "You are one of them?"

"you"

Su Ming'an interrupted him: "The person who leaked 'Edward is crazy' and the joint group's resource allocation plan was you, right?"

Only very insiders knew this kind of information. After all possibilities were eliminated, the only person who leaked the information could be Edward himself.

Others did not notice this due to blind spots in their thinking, but Su Mingan had already seen the truth clearly.

Edward's eyes moved slightly.

"I thought you were stupid enough, but I didn't expect that you could go one step further." Su Mingan said, "I would guess that you have reached some kind of deal with the organizer and become a special identity that can The negative situation of mankind is promoted."

Edward's eyes trembled even more.

"This is a type of identity that I have never heard of. Is the power of the organizer actually evolving? I discovered earlier that their game version seems to have always been there, whether it is the image of a young boy like Boss Rabbit or the richness of the World Forum.

The degree is changing." Su Ming'an seemed to be saying to himself: "Now that such a 'ghost' identity has appeared, the future of mankind is really in danger."

When Edward heard this, he calmed down.

He pinched the sheets, his expression very quiet.

"These are just guesses on your part," he said.

"Well, yes, it's just my guess." Su Mingan smiled.

In fact, when he spoke to the enemy in a positive tone, he was basically 99% sure.

Ying had already told him about Edward's behavior of kneeling down to ask for a special status in the eighth world. Edward even shouted at that time, "Do you only want a dog like Su Ming'an?"

It can be seen that if it fails once, Edward will naturally try a second time, and this second time, he may get in touch with the organizer.

"I'm here. I don't actually care about the moths in your alliance, nor do I care who wants me to come over to make a fuss." Su Mingan bit the apple: "I just want to inform you of something."

"What?"

"Edward, I will kill you." Su Mingan said.

Edward's pupils trembled.

For a moment, he even thought he heard wrongly.

This guy who has always been tolerant to the players at the top of the list, and even more tolerant to the players who have completed the level perfectly, would actually say such a thing? "I'll kill you then. I met you in the dungeon. Do you think I will let you go?" Edward suddenly said

He sneered. Everyone knows that if they meet in a dungeon, it will definitely be a life-or-death situation.

Su Ming'an has already said this to him before, why is he threatening him again now? Is it interesting to repeat it?

Su Mingan threw away the core.

He stood up and stared at Edward's flushed and crazy face, as if he could see the collapsed soul inside through those blue eyes.

There seemed to be a gleam of light that disappeared in it and never lit up again.

Edward's fire was long extinguished.

He took the initiative to provoke infighting, leaked human intelligence, and became a dog.

He ignored the overall situation, wasted the rescue resources that the United Group had dismantled from ordinary players, gave up on himself, and gave the human wolf a backhand blow.

Even from the perspective of the person in charge of the organizer, Su Mingan should not be able to accept such a person standing beside him.

His dislike of Edward seems very reasonable and not out of the ordinary.

Su Mingan turned around and walked towards the door.

When he pushed the door open, he happened to meet Chief of Staff Ashkel, who was rushing over, and several acquaintances, Aini, Hubert, Qiaolia...
