481: Each and every one of you is a hero.

Watching the backs of Chen Yu and Zhang Ning as they left, Ivan, who was also hiding on the rooftop, shook his head.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Asking people to help perform for free and not even cleaning up after themselves. Where am I supposed to clean up all this gold dust..."

After saying this, Ivan took his phone out of his pocket and dialed a number.

"Hey, Old Xiao, it's me, your daddy."

"So, just a small favor. It won't cost much. Can you help me hire a cleaning crew?"

"It wasn't much of a magic trick, just covered the whole street in gold dust and debris."

"Hey, it's mainly because a little wind blew through, it's fine. I just ended up getting it all over the city center, that's all."

"Oh, just hurry up and get people over here, or it's going to blow everywhere even more. Alright, hanging up now."

After the call, Ivan saw Su Mulan walking quickly in a certain direction below.

"This little blind girl, is it really okay for her to be running around the city like that..."

On the other side, Zhao Jianghan also left carrying the speaker, heading straight for Sunshine Neurology Hospital.

That was the hospital where Dr. Zhao, Zhao Jianghan's father, worked.

"Let Old Xiao clean up the mess; I'm going back to try playing that game."

As he spoke, Ivan pulled a cloak over himself, concealing his figure, and vanished from the rooftop.

...

Game World.

"Where is Mulan?"

"Jacob is just... gone?"

"What is going on right now? My head feels a mess."

Liu Yan spread his hands, signaling everyone to calm down.

"Everyone, don't worry. Listen to me one by one."

At this moment, Sayyid, Demulan, Romisius, Geheros, and a group of GTI Operators were all standing in front of Liu Yan.

In the real world, these people didn't know Liu Yan at all.

But Liu Yan had used the tear of the ocean to add his experiences with everyone from "Infinity," the false world, into their memories.

This meant that everyone knew Liu Yan and had many questions.

Compared to the wide-eyed crowd, Wafa stood in a corner where no one would notice him, his expression complex.

It took Liu Yan a long time to explain everything to them.

Including the choice Jacob made in the end.

Not just Liu Yan, but the others also felt deeply regretful after hearing about it.

But since it was his own choice, everyone didn't say much more.

"So, you mean our world will survive until other worlds forget us, is that right?"

"That's right," Liu Yan nodded.

"But it will take a very long time, and we will think of other ways in the meantime."

"I initially thought about letting you go to other worlds, but that would have made everything a complete mess..."

"This is fine too. After all, we've already died twice," Wang Yuhao nodded from the side.

Mai Xiaowen rolled her eyes, then looked at Liu Yan and asked:

"Can we play this game then?"

"I still want to see how strong I am in the game."

Liu Yan smiled and nodded.

"Don't worry, your flashbangs are incredibly devious."

Hearing this, Mai Xiaowen smiled in relief.

"However, since you live in the game world, you can't really 'play' it, but you can disguise yourselves as players and experience it."

"This includes the leader and the Soldiers; you can all join in and experience it yourselves."

"You can also open some backdoors for me. For example, Sayyid, you can keep a few extra keycards to the East Building manager's office in your pocket whenever you have the chance."

Liu Yan smiled at Sayyid.

The latter shook his head helplessly.

"Tell me how Mulan is first."

He was in no mood to chat about those games right now.

"You can rest assured about that too. Everything over there has returned to normal, and it's as if they never descended at all."

"Except for some people who still retain some memories, everyone else has been cleared."

"As for Mulan, she should be able to come find you tonight."

Hearing this, Sayyid finally nodded in relief.

Knowing this, he had no other questions.

As for the others, their lives hadn't changed much; it was still pretty much the same as before.

Except with Reis, that troublemaker, gone, there weren't as many messy things going on.

It meant that even here, they could still cooperate and develop just like before.

Seeing that everyone had no more questions, Liu Yan turned his head and looked at Raven and Kim Jae-wook, who were not far away.

"How about you two? Any questions?"

Raven looked at Liu Yan gratefully, then shook his head.

"Thank you. I have no other questions. I have already seen New Asala."

After speaking, Raven didn't forget to glance at Geheros, who was standing with his hands behind his back nearby.

The latter felt Raven's slightly resentful gaze and snorted coldly.

"It wasn't me who did it. I already said it was that guy named Chen Yu."

"You should actually be thanking me for pleading on your behalf, otherwise he would have come to kill you just the same."

Mentioning Chen Yu, even Geheros couldn't help but click his tongue inwardly.

In Tidal Prison, he was in contact with prisoners, many of whom were there because of vendettas and the like.

But Geheros had truly never seen anyone hold a grudge to this extent.

No matter how deep the grudge, killing someone a few times should be enough; it shouldn't require killing them over 100,000 times.

Hearing what Geheros said, Raven scoffed.

"Fine, thank you then, is that good enough?"

After saying this, he turned his head and stopped looking at the other person.

And Kim Jae-wook looked at Liu Yan earnestly.

"Um, I won't go back. It's pretty good here. Also, thank you."

Seeing this, Liu Yan nodded slightly and locked his gaze on Wafa in the corner.

Seeing his appearance, Liu Yan smiled and shook his head.

"Alright, everyone go do what you need to do. Leave me some time to talk to my Soldiers?"

Seeing Liu Yan say this, the others nodded one after another and then dispersed.

"Those aren't your Soldiers, they're mine." Before leaving, Sayyid didn't forget to turn back and remind Liu Yan.

Liu Yan ignored Sayyid and cleared his throat.

"Attention everyone, assemble in front of me."

Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp!

In an instant, all the Soldiers ran in front of Liu Yan and formed a neat square formation.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Sayyid's eyes under his mask twitched wildly.

And Liu Yan didn't forget to lift his chin at Sayyid.

It was as if he was saying:

How about that?

Whose Soldiers?

Looking at those formations, which were countless times neater than during training, Sayyid couldn't help but clench his fists a little.

"Good, good, you're all good lads."

"I see you guys really like training."

"After he leaves, I'll properly put you through some training."

After saying this, Sayyid snorted coldly and turned to leave.

"Sir! Don't! Boss doesn't come often! The less often you see someone, the fonder you are of them, it's perfectly normal!"

After one Soldier shouted this, another Soldier quickly tugged on him.

"If you don't know how to talk, just shut your mouth."

At the same time, Sayyid's voice came without him turning his head:

"Good, then double the training. When you see your boss next time, you'll be able to put on a good performance for him."

"Unbelievable!" The Soldier who had just tried to stop him glared fiercely at the Soldier who had shouted earlier.

The other Soldiers also cast resentful glances.

Looking at the familiar Soldiers, a smile remained on the corners of Liu Yan's mouth.

When all the Soldiers turned their gaze to Liu Yan, Liu Yan bowed deeply to all of them.

"Thank you, everyone."

"Thank you for being willing to be my Soldiers."

"And thank you for being willing to cooperate with Wafa's plan."

"And thank you for being willing to die generously for me."

"You are each a hero."
