"Impossible... absolutely impossible... why is it like this, why..." Uncle Brave was instantly stunned.
It was only after Xue Dili informed him of the fact that he had died, did Uncle Brave finally recall everything before he died.
He frantically picked up the "Beloved Holy Sword", however, this was not a complete Holy Sword but a Broken Sword, split apart. The tip of the blade was the part that had pierced into the brain of the Evil God's infant form!
"How many years have passed? Exactly how many years have passed? Is my seal still effective, Cattelan, Kaiya, and Ani, I must save them, I must save our friends..." He completely lost his composure, no longer bearing the likeness of the valiant uncle he once was, but rather like a headless fly.
"Calm down, the current situation is serious, no amount of panic will help." Xue Dili immediately interrupted Uncle Brave's panic and began to analyze,
"Is your seal temporary now? But you don't even remember how long you've been dead, so there are only two possibilities: either the Evil God hasn't broken the seal yet, which means we still have time to come up with another plan, or the Evil God has long since broken the seal, in which case your panic is even more useless."
"As a member of the Interstellar Corps, you must have an emergency contact method, right?"
Xue Dili addressed the most crucial point.
He couldn't believe that members of the Interstellar Corps did not have emergency contact devices, after all, they were engaged in life-risking tasks, even on a solo mission, they should be equipped with emergency communication tools.
"Yes, we have an emergency beacon. Once it's activated, all Interstellar Corps members across the entire Cosmos will come to assist." Uncle Brave suddenly seemed to have found his bearings, but suddenly he froze.
"Where's your beacon?" Xue Dili asked.
"I gave it to Kaiya..." Uncle Brave sheepishly scratched his head, then also calmed down from his state of panic.
"Who's Kaiya? Nevermind, it's my mistake expecting any sense from you." Xue Dili rubbed his temples and entered the Consciousness Space.
Uncle Brave took out a photograph, a group photo of six people, where everyone was smiling happily.
"This is my Hero Squad, I'm the captain. This here is Kaiya, he's our squad's scout and intelligence collector, a Tier Three expert." Uncle Brave pointed to a young nobleman holding a Swift Strike Sword and said.
"This is Cattelan, also my lover, and our squad's Mage, a Half-Elf..."
"This is Ani, an Elf Archer..."
"This is our Shield Guard..."
He identified and named each member of the Hero Squad, and Xue Dili noted down everyone's information.
"So you're saying you handed the emergency communication device to this Kaiya?" Xue Dili pointed to the young nobleman in the photo and asked.
"Yes, in the final moments of sealing the Evil God, I wasn't confident, but the emergency contact device was also extremely valuable, so I entrusted it to Kaiya and instructed him to use it immediately if any problems arose." Uncle Brave, resembling a single-threaded paramecium, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The emergency communication device was in their hands, even if the Evil God's infant form broke the seal, they could still call the other members of the Interstellar Corps to solve it, right?
He realized he had been too flustered just now, affecting his judgment.
"Wait... why do I have a sense of déjà vu..." For some reason, Xue Dili thought of the old Undead.
The old Undead, during his lifetime, was battling the Witch Demon King when General Julia fled, forcing him to use all his power to annihilate the Witch Demon King's Soul Fire while he was killed and became the new Undead.
And Uncle Brave entrusted the most crucial communication device to his teammate, finally completed the sealing of the Evil God... and only he died...
It shouldn't be like this, should it? Members of the Hero Squad were at least Quasi-Legendary Level, some of the top people on the local planet, surely they could assess the situation?
When Uncle Brave's seal faced trouble, they should have used it straight away, and then all Interstellar Corps members would have rushed over to give the Evil God a hard time.
Either the Interstellar Corps arrived a step too late, with Uncle Brave already corrupted by the Evil God, or the Interstellar Corps, capable of sending Uncle Brave to handle the Evil God alone, should have little difficulty cleansing the corruption and reviving Uncle Brave.
At the very least, they could've taken Uncle Brave's soul with them, right?
But now Uncle Brave was thoroughly dead, his soul only arriving in Xue Dili's body as a vagrant.
"Could it be... all your teammates fled?" Xue Dili tentatively inquired.
He couldn't help it, the old Undead's story had a profoundly shocking impact on him.
"What nonsense are you spouting, how could you doubt the friendship and bonds between me and my dear friends!" Uncle Brave was instantly agitated.
"There you go again, getting worked up."
Xue Dili continued organizing information in his mind.
But it didn't make sense, did it?
Assuming his teammates didn't flee, seeing Uncle Brave die just like that, and then fleeing back to become a General?
No way, the sense of déjà vu was too strong, it was overlapping with the old Undead's story.
"Never mind, I'm not going to argue with you. Let's gather some intel first, and once we have enough intel, I'll try to connect you back to your original world..." Xue Dili felt there must be something fishy about this matter.
In the fog of battle, the observer sees clearly.
Standing from a godly perspective, he felt something suspicious about the other members of the Hero Squad.
In a Blue Star script, this would be like Uncle Brave, a young master from the capital saving the village, falling in love with the village belle, and taking the village officials to handle the calamity, but ultimately, everyone survives except the capital young master, while the village belle goes to the capital young master's family carrying a child...
However you look at it, it seems like a scheme targeting the capital young master?
Xue Dili decided not to overthink it for now, planning to delve into Uncle Brave's memories tonight, maybe discovering some details worth scrutinizing.
In the past, Xue Dili might have prepared for the Teleportation Gate straight away, yet after his experiences in Ancient Greece, he became less impulsive.
In Ancient Greece, his knowledge of everything was thorough enough to kill Zeus successfully through a curse.
But regarding that new Otherworld, Xue Dili was utterly in the dark, so he deemed it necessary first to fully prepare the intel.
Even though it was still early, not yet eight at night, he put on earplugs, donned an eye mask, and got ready for sleep.
...
Meanwhile, at Ke University Literature Society.
"Senior sister, I've told you all the intel about Xue Dili, make sure to introduce your best friend to me when the time comes!" A few of Xue Dili's temporary roommates had already skillfully sold him out.
Although they weren't in the same major, they were all in the medical department, allowing them access to tomorrow's military training information and squad positions in the group chat.
By matching the student number, they could tell where Xue Dili's military training would be taking place, and they sold this intel to the literary society's senior sister, gaining some contact numbers and networking invitations from other senior sisters in return.
For them, newly stepping into university life, they were probably eager all along to unleash their bubbling hormones.
