Chapter 717: Chapter 714: "The Cabinet Expresses Strong Objections.

Looking at Su Ming’an sitting beside the wardrobe, far from the bed, Lin Guang questioned, "You haven’t slept?"

"I prefer to sleep on the floor," replied Su Ming’an, unflinchingly.

"Alright, I’ve noted that," Lin Guang said. "I’m here to take you away."

"Take me away?"

"I’ve realized that the deity deceived me. I shouldn’t have invited you to ’Ta Wei.’ I thought he would treat you well, but instead, he used chains on you..." Lin Guang instantly noticed the chains on the ground, his face showing anger.

Su Ming’an really wanted to say, "Do you have the right to say that?" In several previous cycles, Lin Guang, when dealing with him as a guest in the City of Gods, even had cases of choking him to death, yet still had the audacity to criticize others for poor hospitality...

"Have you had a falling out with the deity?" asked Su Ming’an.

"He and I were never on the same side. He is an invader. If it weren’t for the exchange of information with me, I wouldn’t have invited you here," Lin Guang said calmly.

"What if he finds out that you let me go, you..." said Su Ming’an.

"Yes, my situation would be very dangerous since this is his territory. However, we are friends, so even if it’s dangerous, as long as I am fast enough..." Lin Guang crouched down to unlock his chains.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps was heard again.

...This is bad.

Just what he feared, the deity was coming back.

Su Ming’an felt uneasy, and before thinking further, he opened the nearby wardrobe and stuffed Lin Guang inside, "Hide in there!"

He didn’t fully trust Lin Guang’s goodwill towards him. But it was highly likely that Lin Guang was not on the deity’s side. He must protect Lin Guang first; Lin Guang still had too many secrets that needed to be revealed eventually.

Upon opening the wardrobe, Su Ming’an suddenly remembered he had forgotten something...

It seemed there was another person inside the wardrobe.

Su Rin, surrounded by various fabrics, was squeezed into the small wardrobe, coldly staring at them, even with several scarves tossed over his head.

"Lewis? Him? You? You all?" Lin Guang was stunned, his words jumbled with shock.

"What on earth are you doing, Su Ming’an..." Before Su Rin could finish speaking, Su Ming’an quickly stuffed Lin Guang in, and with a "bang!" closed the wardrobe door, returning the room to silence.

In the narrow wardrobe, Su Rin and Lin Guang locked eyes.

As the saying goes, enemies are exceptionally glaring when they meet. Su Rin, as the commander during the Dawn War, had killed countless soldiers from the deity’s camp, and Lin Guang often ground his teeth whenever he saw Su Rin’s image on the live broadcast screen. Su Rin also detested Lin Guang, the traitor of his homeland, immensely.

But at this moment, they could not come to blows; their eyes might as well have been real daggers.

Su Rin even felt he was being squeezed to death by the clothes... Why had he, prepared for a bloody battle in ’Ta Wei,’ charging in alone, ended up squeezed in a wardrobe with Lin Guang? Why had things turned out this way...

He glowered, his killing intent overwhelming. Lin Guang had a similarly dark gaze, feeling extremely bad.

"Da da da da—"

The sound of footsteps neared the door.

Su Ming’an quickly moved away from the wardrobe, moving as far as possible while saying, "Deity, don’t come in! I’m changing clothes!"

The excuse of "sleeping" hadn’t worked, but "changing clothes" should, right? Presumably, the always gentle deity would not begrudge him this waiting time; the deity had always seemed like a gentleman to him.

The sound of footsteps at the door paused for a moment, and a second later, the person rushed in, their movements even showing a sense of urgency.

... What a weirdo!

"Hey..." Just as Su Ming’an wanted to speak, he realized that the person who came was not a deity, but Bi, with black hair and blue eyes. She had some scratches on her and was covered in dust.

"Lewis, I crossed the edge of the world, from One Dimension halfway to Three Dimensions," Bi gasped, grabbing his hand: "Follow me, I know how to get back. The dimension here is too heavily invaded, stay longer and you will be fully invaded."

Su Ming’an hadn’t expected to be so popular. In the mere fifteen minutes of his visit, one after another had come unhesitatingly to rescue him.

Was he really that charming?

He had a strange feeling that this kind of thing was going to happen again...

Sure enough, three seconds later, footsteps were heard at the door again. Bi suddenly looked back.

She gritted her teeth: "Damn, the deity is back..."

Yet, Su Ming’an’s face showed no sign of panic; he casually opened the closet door, amid Bi’s mixed expressions of shock, confusion, bewilderment, and doubt, adeptly squeezed her between Su Rin and Lin Guang, making for a perfect family photo.

"No, Lewis, why are there so many people here..." That was the last thing Bi said before being stuffed inside.

Due to the closet being too crowded, even though Lin Guang and Su Rin had slender figures, they were almost squished into meat buns. Red and white hair mixed together, resembling a world-famous painting.

Su Ming’an could only pull out a few space-consuming clothes and forcibly stuffed Bi inside, forcefully holding the closet door shut.

The under-five-feet-tall closet bore such a heavy load, making creaking noises, probably never imagining it would be so lively inside today, comparable to a meeting of three giants.

If it could cry, it would surely be sobbing loudly now.

Just as Su Ming’an closed the closet, the person at the door entered; this time it was finally a deity. The deity was enveloped in thick black mist, revealing only a pair of gentle eyes.

Looking at Su Ming’an leaning against the closet door, draped in a few pieces of clothing and even with messy hair, the deity looked puzzled: "Are you very cold, Acto?"

... If the closet door were to burst open now, the calm in the deity’s eyes would surely shatter.

"A bit," Su Ming’an said.

Su Rin, Lin Guang, and Bi were squeezed tightly together in the narrow closet, peering through the small crack in the door. Bi was utterly bewildered; she thought she had been quick enough with the rescue, but Su Rin was even quicker and had even brought Lin Guang... She slightly turned her head, trying to find a suitable angle to look inside, but Lin Guang’s finger caught hers, nearly breaking her bones.

Su Rin’s expression chilled as Lin Guang dared to act sneakily. He moved his finger, stopping Lin Guang’s actions, but Lin Guang fearlessly engaged him directly. Both sides wrestled with their fingers in the pathetically small space, surrounded by soft clothes fluttering like flags, extremely lively.

"That was rude of me. Wear them if you like; they are all my old clothes," the deity said, "By the way, Acto, I mainly came to ask you one question this time."

Su Ming’an’s back broke out in a cold sweat; he could faintly hear noises from inside the closet, what on earth were those three doing? How could they even fight in such a small space?

Stop fighting!

What are you doing!

"Yasa Acto," the deity leaned closer to him: "Could you please tell me... the last digit of the Dawn Code?"

Su Ming’an was slightly startled.

... He didn’t know the Dawn Code!

The Dawn Code for Two Dimensions was figured out through trial and error by him and Noel. For One Dimension, he had only obtained the first digit "Glow" and the second digit "Kosai" from the man in the black robe at the ruins and the family pendant from little Eyebrow. He had yet to gain the third digit from Dong An’an, and information on the fourth and fifth digits was even more uncertain, void of any leads.

The deity had spent so much time on him, knowing he was a Player from the World game and not Acto himself, why was he still asking for the Dawn Code?

Seeing his hesitation, the Deity reached out and clasped his shoulder, exerting a slight force, a faint "click" sounding.

Inside the cabinet, Su Rin and Lin Guang clenched their fists, coldly staring at the seam of the cabinet as if they would pounce out the next moment. Bi stared blankly at the two of them, as if watching a silent drama.

"Don’t be like this, I’m more persuadable by soft approaches than hard ones," Su Ming’an said. His pain tolerance had reached its limit, the pain felt almost like a breeze on his face.

"Would you like me to make tea for you?" the Deity asked, "Considering the experience of that white-haired failure before, who begged you like a dog, and you wouldn’t let him have his explosion. If I were to make tea for you, call you ’friend,’ and ask you to share some snacks, would you tell me the password then?"

"I would," Su Ming’an said.

"You lie without a blink," the Deity sighed, "I won’t follow in the footsteps of a bootlicker, people like you and me, no matter how much they are pleased, can’t forget their original purpose. Why should I stoop to become a dog like Lin Guang."

Su Rin slightly turned his head, he could feel Lin Guang’s rage reaching a boiling point.

Su Ming’an sensed trouble, fearing that Lin Guang would attack in anger, and decided to stabilize the Deity first.

"The last part of the password is ’Luo’," Su Ming’an made one up on the spot.

Unexpectedly, he was shocked to then hear the system’s prompt:

"Ding Dong!"

[You have obtained the Fifth Code of Dawn: "Luo".]

...Wait a minute.

He was sure he had made up that password. Could it be that this fifth code was supposed to be composed by him, and the other four were fixed?

"...Thank you," the Deity revealed a satisfied smile, "Thank you very much for your help. After completely invading your world, I will consider you my best friend. Acto, do you like ginkgo trees? How about I take you to my piano room, I also play the piano well..."

"Bang!"

Suddenly, the room exploded with noise, wood chips flying everywhere, Lin Guang burst out like a cat with its fur on end, his face filled with extreme anger:

"— Die! Die!"

The Deity was startled and immediately backed away, only then realizing how lively it was inside the wardrobe. The legion commander Su Rin in his long robe, the dusty Bi, and the attacking Agent Lin Guang...

This tiny room hid so many crouching tigers and hidden dragons.

The cabinet’s wood chips shattered, like endless heavy snow. Clothes fabric fluttered about, black and white swirling in the air, the three in the cabinet all had cold expressions. Lin Guang’s head was even covered with a green hat, circling his head like a halo.

Even an omnipotent being like the Deity would not have imagined such a scene, it was simply beyond human imagination.

"You... all of you...?" the Deity stammered, unsure of what to say.

He looked at Su Ming’an, then at this tremendous scene, stuttering, his eyes devoid of wisdom, seemingly greatly shocked.

Watching Lin Guang pounce towards him, the Deity raised his hand, an invisible judgment swept across.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Three heavy thuds, under the cover of the Black Mist, Su Rin, Lin Guang, and Bi all fell to the ground, their situation identical to Su Ming’an’s earlier, seemingly some unknown judgment.

"You white-haired fool! Why did you jump out! Seeking death!" an angry Bi shouted at Lin Guang.

"..." Su Rin was quite calm, apparently he still had a backup plan.

"..." Lin Guang crawled forward desperately, staring at the Deity with eyes cold as a venomous snake.

Su Ming’an turned his head, considering that increasing the Deity’s favorability by 80 points seemed unrealistic now, to prevent things from getting out of control, he still wanted to roll back...

Suddenly, he saw a shadow flicker behind the Deity.

A surge of black energy poured in from the top of his head, he suddenly felt his limbs begin to lose control... This feeling was familiar, it was like the sensation from a certain round when he was invaded by "Ta Wei"...

Su Ming’an had stayed in this dimension too long, the Deity had begun to invade him.

"...Although the situation is a bit more than I expected, it’s still within my control," the Deity said.

...Finally showing his fangs. The Deity indeed wanted to invade him.

Just as Su Ming’an was about to roll back, he heard the calm voice of Bi enter his mind:

[Lewis, don’t panic, you won’t be invaded, I assure you. I will help you feign death, endure the pain.]

"..."

Su Ming’an hesitated for a moment before deciding not to roll back. Up to this point, everything Bi had done each round was benevolent. There was no progress regression in the system; he decided to trust her this time. TE4 logically was not a dead end. Even if something unfortunate happened, Noel was a safety measure.

He stood still, and the next moment, Bi suddenly exploded, swinging the blade in her hand with the speed of lightning, stabbing into Su Ming’an’s heart!

Su Ming’an coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"You—!" The Deity saw his plan nearing fruition when Bi unexpectedly killed the body he intended to invade.

More furious than he, was Lin Guang: "Bi, what are you doing!!"

Su Rin’s eyebrows slightly furrowed; he realized Su Ming’an seemed almost as if intending to meet his own death and did not act rashly. Watching Su Ming’an gradually lose signs of life, he squeezed his palm and transformed into a golden light to escape.

Bi sheathed her knife and disappeared in a flash.

The quiet room was left with only a devastated Lin Guang and an unreadable Deity.

"...The antivirus program is really competent, killing as soon as said, giving me no chance to invade," the Deity murmured.

Only Lin Guang tremblingly moved towards Su Ming’an’s body.

"...Lewis?" he called softly.

No one answered.

Blood was scorching hot in his palm; he tried to cover Su Ming’an’s wound.

"...I’m sorry, I didn’t realize this invitation was a trap, I didn’t know he wanted to invade you..." Lin Guang muttered to himself: "I’m sorry, I even failed to stop Bi, I... I just wanted to help you..."

The Deity glanced at Lin Guang faintly, then turned and left:

"Truly like a white-haired dog."

The room was left only with Lin Guang’s continuous apologies:

"I’ve changed, I learned how to make tea, it doesn’t smell of disinfectant anymore...I can write in Dragon Country script now, but why..."

He tried to lift Lewis’s eyelid.

But Lewis was no longer breathing.
