365: Chapter 365 Do you want to witness a miracle?

He'd take the gamble!

Betting that Lin Yao could pull through!

Even more, betting that this monster called Lin Yu could withstand his sister's full-strength blow after she completed the miracle!

"Captain Wen! What are you doing?!"

Before the exclamations around him could subside, Wen Yan had already moved.

He didn't rush toward the Duel Arena; instead, he spun around and yanked open an inconspicuous silver metal cabinet beside him.

Inside the cabinet, there were no weapons or equipment—only an energy core emitting a soft blue light, encased in layers of energy shields.

This was the Backup Power Hub for the entire Organization, and the final safeguard for the observation deck's defense system!

"He's crazy!" Team Leader Liu shrieked.

Wen Yan ignored everyone's shouts.

He reached out, piercing directly through the energy shield, and grabbed the fist-sized blue core in his hand.

Blinding electrical arcs danced wildly across his arm, sizzling through his combat uniform, and the smell of burning flesh instantly filled the air.

Yet Wen Yan seemed completely oblivious to it.

Clutching the energy core, he rushed to the observation window and, aiming at the life force below that was about to be extinguished, threw the core with all his might!

Hum!

He used his authorization to forcibly open a gap in the high-strength observation window's one-way defense mechanism.

The blue energy core turned into a streak of light, falling precisely toward Lin Yao.

The moment it was about to touch Lin Yao's body, Wen Yan also flashed into the arena.

The core shattered with a bang and, under Wen Yan's guidance, transformed into the purest and most majestic life energy. Like a cascading waterfall, it poured entirely into the girl's nearly withered body!

"Ugh!"

Lin Yao let out a groan of pain.

Her shriveled body quickly filled out again, like a balloon being inflated.

The seven terrifying bloody streaks on her face stopped bleeding.

A trace of abnormal flush finally appeared on her pale little face.

Inside the observation deck, there was dead silence.

Everyone looked at Wen Yan as if he were a madman.

The Old Analyst opened his mouth to speak but ultimately only let out a long sigh.

"He's not stopping her..."

"He's... helping her complete this spell."

...Lin Yu's footsteps paused slightly.

He had originally been prepared to act.

His sister's recklessness had to end here.

If she continued to overexert herself, even if she were saved, it would leave behind deep-seated issues that would be hard to eradicate.

He had already decided to sever her connection with that "Starry Sky of Possibilities" directly from a conceptual level in the gentlest yet most undeniable way.

However, Wen Yan's actions made him stop.

That torrent of pure energy gave his sister a second wind.

Lin Yu silently watched the man who was intently assisting Lin Yao, his arm charred black and gasping for breath.

Wen Yan.

A member of the Fangs Special Operations Team.

And that one called Zhong Huai... counting the help at the entrance and the intervention just now, this was already the third time they had shown kindness to his side at a critical moment.

Although he didn't necessarily need this level of help.

But this attitude made him feel somewhat comfortable.

In this cold world where profit was the primary rule, such reckless kindness appeared exceptionally precious.

Very well.

Since you want to see it.

Since this girl is putting her life on the line to finish this performance.

Then let her finish it.

Lin Yu withdrew his hand that was about to be raised and resumed his calm posture.

However, the development of events once again exceeded his expectations.

The energy Wen Yan injected was indeed majestic. That Backup Power Hub was enough to sustain the defense system of the entire Organization for three days and nights.

Yet this bit of energy was as insignificant as a drop of water falling into a desert before that starry sky named "Infinity."

Only three seconds.

Only three seconds had passed.

The waterfall of blue energy pouring into Lin Yao's body thinned and dimmed at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Wen Yan's arm, charred black by the electrical arcs, was now pressed firmly against the center of Lin Yao's back. He could clearly feel an irresistible, terrifying suction coming from the girl's body, frantically devouring the energy he was supplying, and even his own life force was beginning to be drained uncontrollably.

"Dammit!"

Wen Yan gritted his teeth so hard they nearly shattered, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down from his forehead.

He was wrong.

He was dead wrong.

He thought he was providing timely help, but it turned out to be a drop in the bucket!

The consumption of this spell was simply not something an "individual" could fill!

Lin Yao's face, which had just regained a hint of color, quickly turned pale once more. The seven streaks of blood that had just clotted showed signs of rupturing again.

She was like a pipe connected to a black hole; any energy that entered would be instantly devoured without a trace.

Inside the observation deck, everyone who had just breathed a sigh of relief felt their hearts tighten once again.

"Not enough... still not enough!" The Old Analyst's voice carried a hint of despair. "His energy simply isn't enough!"

It's over.

Everything is over.

Wen Yan's reckless action had only delayed Lin Yao's death by a dozen seconds or so.

Amidst this stifling despair, Wen Yan's bloodshot eyes suddenly lifted, staring fixedly toward the observation deck.

He used every ounce of his strength to let out a roar.

"Everyone, get down here!"

"All Researchers! Give me all of your energy!"

"Come down and help!"

This roar was like a sudden clap of thunder, exploding in everyone's ears.

Inside the control room, there was dead silence.

Everyone was stunned by Wen Yan's crazy proposal.

Go down?

Where?

To that Duel Arena where gods were fighting?

You've got to be kidding!

They were just a group of weak Researchers, not even the lowest-level combat Professionals. What else could they do down there besides being torn to pieces by the terrifying energy aftershocks?

Team Leader Liu's lips trembled as he instinctively took a step back.

"Captain Wen... he, has he gone mad..."

No one responded to him.

Everyone's gaze instinctively focused on the Old Analyst.

The Old Analyst didn't speak.

He just stared fixedly below, at the soldier who was using his own flesh and blood to build the final line of defense for the girl.

His chest heaved violently.

His cloudy old eyes reflected the distorted light and shadows within the Duel Arena below, as well as his own youthful madness when he would go three days and nights without sleep for a scientific problem.

Was it worth it?

Risking one's life for a girl who was a complete stranger.

Giving up a stable future for a vague "possibility."

Was it worth it?

"Heh..."

The Old Analyst suddenly let out a low, ambiguous chuckle.

He slowly straightened his thick reading glasses.

Then, under everyone's stunned gaze, he suddenly turned, shoved aside the dumbfounded Team Leader Liu, and was the first to rush toward the emergency passage leading to the Duel Arena.

"If you don't want to die, stay here."

"Those who want to witness a miracle, follow me!"
