No more struggles.
The Undying Heart, ultimately, together with its brothers, became Yun You's nourishment.
Similar to the previous few organs, the energy brought by the Undying Heart did not greatly enhance Yun You's physique; it merely allocated a small portion to help her recover part of her physical strength, healing her injuries...
And most of the energy merged into the "Lord Sequence," disappearing without a trace.
Even after swallowing 5 organs, this strange sequence still hasn't fully activated and remains in a dormant state.
However, Yun You faintly has a feeling.
The Lord Sequence may already be satiated; at least on the energy level, it is enough.
What it currently lacks is an "opportunity" to awaken.
Just like how Yun You discovered she had the [Eating] ability when seriously injured, and could use the [Future Sight] ability only after undergoing Soul Awakening, the Lord also needs to be activated.
But what exactly are these conditions, and what kind of price needs to be paid, Yun You can't figure out at the moment.
Likewise, now isn't really the time to worry about Sequence Ability.
With all the main organs dead, the will generated by the organ—"It" silently vanished.
And with "Its" death, this ancient town created by lies and deceit also perished.
The first to change was the sky.
With a crisp "crash", the fake sky shattered like glass, revealing the purple rock wall behind it.
The blazing sun that hung high in the sky just moments ago slowly extinguished, finally transforming into a white stalactite, closely attached to the rock wall.
At the end of the sight of people, all the space was breaking down, even the earth was fading in color.
The whole of Yangshan Town was evolving towards the "cave" terrain.
This was actually normal, and not beyond Yun You's expectations.
Because she learned inadvertently while browsing the laboratory data that the essence of Yangshan Town is actually a natural cave located about 500 meters underground.
It is huge, rich in minerals, and has a special magnetic ore vein that can block signals and chase.
For this reason, the original "Princess Consort" built Yangshan Town here.
As for the previous mine shaft, it is the only passage that can reach Yangshan Town.
But, to prevent people in the town from escaping, and to block any hostile forces from entering through the passage, the biotechnology experiment group specifically hid part of the mine shaft and used "Its" power to create a Death Domain teleportation device—the "Bronze Gate" that Yun You and the others saw deep in the mine shaft earlier.
Only those who pass the gate's test and are influenced by "It" can enter the town.
Yun You generally knows these details, so she remained calm in the face of overwhelming changes.
But the people who have lived in Yangshan Town for generations cannot keep calm.
The town changed due to "Its" death, and the townsfolk also underwent changes.
They were first surprised, unable to understand why the sky collapsed or why the earth faded...
But soon, they suddenly found countless chaotic memories popping up in their heads... memories from decades ago, continuously emerging in fragmented scenes.
Some townsfolk with unclear minds felt they seemed to become a bit clearer, and the past almost "obsessive" adherence to routines also began to dissipate.
"So, will you still act against Aurora?"
Yun You retracted the Red Scale Giant Claw and quietly walked to Town Chief Kong Xian.
No, to be accurate, she should now call this old man "Captain Shen Donglin."
"Remember everything?"
"..."
Faced with Yun You's sudden inquiry, Shen Donglin was somewhat silent.
He lowered his head, constantly rubbing his head with his hands, his expression somewhat frantic, sometimes angry, other times very worried.
"I... I don't know..."
"My brain is really a bit messy now, although I remembered many things, I can't think about them in detail, it just hurts so much to think..."
"But you're right... We were indeed wrong..."
"You guys aren't villains, that girl Aurora didn't do anything wrong, the fault always lies with us... us arrogant and oblivious folks."
"Sorry..."
Shen Donglin shook as he apologized to Yun You and Aurora.
And the other villagers had long lost their hostility, silently holding their heads and sobbing softly.
"Haven't regained your memory yet?"
Yun You couldn't help but be puzzled.
But thinking carefully, it makes sense.
The human spirit is not actually tenacious.
Someone like Aurora, with relatively strong Spiritual Power, lived in Yangshan Town for two weeks and turned into this unclear-minded state.
Those villagers have been here for decades, their brains probably already riddled with holes from infiltration, there's nothing strange about not recalling past memories for the time being.
If they rest a bit longer, maybe they'll be fine.
What Yun You truly cares about is the nursery rhyme Aurora just failed to finish singing.
"Four little soldiers, went fishing together. Unaware of danger, buried in a big fish's belly... Four remain... only remain..."
Although it's just a common nursery rhyme, it's not supposed to be taken seriously.
But Yun You always feels something is amiss.
Especially the look Aurora gave her just now.
A look of helplessness, melancholy... and sadness made Yun You feel somewhat uneasy.
"Aurora...no, it's that two-headed monster bird, why did it sing this song to me?"
"Is there some special meaning behind this?"
She wanted to ask Master Zero, but the latter couldn't provide an answer.
Apparently, Master Zero also didn't know the meaning of these words.
It just sent Yun You a danger signal, reminding the little girl to be more cautious.
"I understand your meaning."
Yun You lightly nodded and looked at the distant rock wall.
"Now that the Undying Internal Organs have been completely eliminated, technically, our mission is considered accomplished."
"Since we've done what we needed to do, we'd better leave early without delving too deep... ultimately, this matter involves biotechnology."
Yun You's greatest concern is the true mastermind behind this incident, the former employer of Xie Kang, the ruler of Nest City No. 3—biotechnology.
Although theoretically the Apprentice Death God need not concern themselves with biotechnology, now Yun You, after all, is merely an 'intern,' incomparable to huge enterprises with vast operations.
If biotechnology truly intends to pursue this matter, she will undoubtedly be implicated.
Therefore, Yun You thinks she should maintain a low profile, avoiding drawing the company's attention, at least for now.
"Chica!"
While thinking, a familiar voice suddenly appeared from afar.
Yun You raised her head, seeing Jack and Frost Moon.
They were unharmed, having perfectly completed the mission.
