After coming to this conclusion, Yan Fei thought of another question: Does he truly exist? If these are not his real experiences, then who is he? Where did he come from? What is he here to do? At this point, Yan Fei recalled those descriptions about "him" he once read in Wen Rou's notes. But a haze always filled his vision, obscuring what was hidden within it...

Yan Fei's mind was in turmoil. He started running wildly in the ruins of Shanghai, hoping to find answers to the questions in his mind through this method. Although he knew it was impossible, his mental tension had been too high, and he needed to vent his emotions in this way.

When Yan Fei stopped running again, he found himself in a familiar place, the Headquarters Building of Dream Group in Shanghai. Yan Fei had heavily relied on this skyscraper back in the day, considering it the foundation of his career development. If not for all the events that happened later, he would have lived here continuously. But he would never stay here permanently, because on a certain day, he would be killed by the bombs piled high beneath the skyscraper.

Although Yan Fei later abandoned this skyscraper, it remained a Dream Island asset, always meticulously maintained. However, this building was also destroyed during the Ape Tribe's attack; it has now collapsed. Among the ruins formed from the collapse, the broken Dream Island logo can still be seen.

Yan Fei didn't expect to see this former career center again. Seeing it destroyed by the Ape Tribe left him sorrowful. But just as he was about to turn away, he felt something. He immediately stopped and extended his spiritual power outward, penetrating underground.

Yan Fei's spiritual power was exceptionally strong and easily pierced through thick layers of rock to a depth of two hundred meters below. He discovered a massive underground septic tank filled with sewage and excrement. Within this tank, Yan Fei sensed a dormant power.

In Yan Fei's spiritual perception, although this power was not currently manifesting, its essence was immensely strong, even much stronger than Yan Fei's current self. He also felt a very familiar sensation from this power. However, among all the people he knew, very few had power reaching this magnitude. Those who did had vanished from this world for various reasons.

Why would someone with such formidable power hide in the depths beneath his former headquarters? And why would this powerful person stay in such harsh conditions, surrounded entirely by sewage and excrement?

Puzzled, Yan Fei extended his formidable spiritual power further downward, attempting to touch the dormant power within the septic tank. But before his spiritual power could make contact, the power was awakened by the approaching presence of Yan Fei's spiritual force. Suddenly, an overwhelming oppressive force appeared, strong enough to startle even the experienced Yan Fei.

The power exploded all at once, displaying massive destructive force. The septic tank was seen undergoing a fierce explosion, causing the underground structure to collapse. Suddenly, a passage leading from underground to the surface appeared. Sewage and excrement from below were blasted everywhere, and amidst the flying debris, a figure shot up from the passage below, standing before Yan Fei.

Yan Fei looked at the shabby, filthy person covered in grime. Although his nose was completely isolated from the exterior by his Nano Battle Armor, he could imagine how foul the air outside must be. Then, he saw the person's body shake rapidly, causing the filth to fly off quickly.

In just an instant, the person became completely clean from head to toe. However, her clothes were tattered, as if they hadn't been changed for many years. Only then did Yan Fei see clearly that the person was a woman, expressionless, with white hair reaching her waist, and missing one hand.

Upon recognizing who she was, Yan Fei was taken aback and exclaimed in surprise, "Gu Xiaolan, why is it you?"
