In the end, after spending 20,000 Points as an additional bribe fee, the System completely shut itself down by pretending to restart its machine.
Lena had no idea how long it would take to finish this time, but it would probably last until she planned to stop asking.
But he doesn't care what it has to do with this system.
——Could he really have to drag Rion to die for love? Maybe this stupid system will answer the question.
A moment later, when Rion rushed over after sensing the burst of Lena aura, and what she saw was Lena standing dazed in the middle of the alley.
And there was a big hole in front of him.
Rion was slightly surprised, and hurriedly approached Lena, "Lena?! What the hell's going on? Are you hurt?!"
Lena looked back at him.
But this scene made Rion's heart even more confused.
For the first time, he saw confusion and a hint of fear on his face.
In his impression, Lena has always been a versatile person. Whether in reality or in the game, he never experienced any confusion let alone fear. He more often quietly stood behind her and watched her grow.
Such a Lena made people feel amazed, but at the current Lena, it only made Rion have the desire to protect her.
Rion did not know what happened during her disappearance along with the girl, Rion was eager to ask, but he did not know how to say it.
Rion chose to take two steps forward and walked over to Lena's side, "Lena ..."
However, before Rion could ask, Lena suddenly walked up to him, hugged him directly, and buried her head in his chest.
This makes Rion's body stiff.
"Lena?"
“Rion, let's find a place to rest.” Lena muttered flatly.
He was in a very chaotic mood right now.
He once thought that after he reincarnated, he had knowledge of the future that far surpassed everyone, and he could firmly grasp the truth in this life.
He thinks so.
It was not until this copy, after Monica appeared, that she discovered that she had never known any truth in the entire incident.
Starting from the background of "The Realms of Gods" or the origin of his System, he did not know everything.
If he had to be able to bear these things before the disaster, then Monica's subsequent involvement with the System made him completely unsettled.
In his last life, he had never met Monica, nor had he heard of the Space-Time Singularity Investigation Bureau, nor did he know that the System was called a "terminal".
Digging deeper into those few words, each of them was an existence that could make him feel confused.
After experiencing the difficulty of the struggle in his previous life, he thought that he already knew to some extent what his opponent was — in other words, the opponent of the entire human race.
However, at this moment, he realized that the actual existence he was facing might be far more terrifying and grand than he had imagined.
Just the slight tip of the iceberg being accidentally seen this time was enough to make him feel an itchy feeling in his heart.
This was a feeling Lena had never felt before when facing millions of chaos and waves of demons in life before she died.
At least at that time, he still had a way to fight them - even if it meant having to perish with them.
But now, he could not even think of a way to counter the existence behind all of this. Just by looking at Monica, he knew the enemy might be far above it.
This is no longer a sense of helplessness, but a sense of hopelessness.
Of course, some people might collapse if faced with this kind of difficulty and would never recover, he said, but there were also people who would wake up with a stronger desire to fight in such a situation - Lena was not sure if she was among the latter, but she had definitely not collapsed.
He just wants to rest.
In his previous life, he could only endure all the hardships and struggles alone, so he had never shown the slightest fear. In the disastrous state of the moment, a hint of doubt and fear could be the reason for his death.
But in this life, there was another Rion beside him. There was one more person who would never betray him.
So when he was confused and desperate, he could go rest for a while.
“...” For some of these inexplicable feelings, she was now acting more and more like a little girl.
Forgetit. After all, she had indeed become a girl now, there was nothing wrong if she acted like a little girl, after all she did not know when she would change back.
Maybe he will never change again.
He didn't want to think about those things.
He didn't want to think of anything right now.
He just wants to rest tonight.
In the end, it was Rion who carried him back.
After meeting with Fatty and the others, Rion proposed to stop here for the exploration this time, find a place to rest and then continue the action tomorrow.
Upon seeing Lena lying motionless in Rion's arms, Fatty and the others said nothing.
It is worth mentioning that Tori also got a copy of this paper currency on the way this time - Rion heard that when he was crouching by the side of the road in a daze, Rion heard that, two passers-by think that she is doing performing arts with her two wings, that person gives money and leaves, maybe they think of Tori as a street artist.
This indistinct feeling made Tori feel a little uncomfortable, but the few banknotes he got gave their team a lot of help.
Rion now began trying to make something of his own under Lena's guidance, though a little complicated, but he managed to completely duplicate these banknotes and the like, instead, and he can even modify his printing version number at will.
In other words, as long as Rion wanted to, he could become a self-propelled money printing machine in human form.
So everyone quickly searched for luxury hotels and rented luxury suites for their stay, and started life on their first night at this copy.
Let's not talk about what Fatty and the others did, but on Rion's side had a rather strange atmosphere.
After Lena was taken out of the alley with him, she remained silent in his arms the entire time without speaking, as if she was asleep.
Rion greatly enjoyed the feeling her boyfriend was acting spoiled, and did not mind to hug her all the time. But, she couldn't keep holding him and bathing together, right?
Even though he thought so.
Sitting on the bed, staring at the girl who was still in his arms, Rion's expression was somewhat inexplicable.
Rion himself was not stupid, he could see that something was wrong from Lena. But he doesn't know what's going on.
With her current strength, if Lena ran at full speed, she would not be able to catch up at all. If he did not sense Lena's aura from a distance, it was likely that he had already lost track of Lena for a long time.
However, this made him even more confused.
‘Who's the girl in red?’
He did not see her at all in the preparation hall - even if he did not remember the faces of everyone there, at least he would have an impression upon seeing the girl's red dress, she said, unless the girl changed clothes after entering the copy, but this was too troublesome when she thought about it.
‘In other words, he's not a player? Or the people in this town? NPC?’
But it also made no sense, if the girl was only an NPC, then there was no way Lena would fall into this condition no matter how she thought about it.
Except he's not an NPC.
‘Who is he?’
‘Manager game?’
‘And what did the girl say back then, until Lena had such a big reaction?’
‘Terminal... what is it?’
Rion started to remember everything about this game, trying to find some answers that might be hidden.
Then..he suddenly remembered an event that was almost forgotten by him.
Before it all started, he had heard a voice in his mind, that voice sounded——
