“—Ryan!”

Ryan was startled, and the two slowed down. Out of breath, Ryan turned slightly to look at Helene.

"Are you okay?" Helene asked with worried eyes.

"Of course. Where are you injured?"

"No, don't worry about it. I'm just thinking." Ryan turned around and faced the front. Helene tilted her head and looked at him.

"Who is that guy? How does he exist?"

While being held by the hand, Hailin lowered her head and said, "Hmm... I don't know either."

"......I'm thinking."

Helene looked up at Ryan.

"We don't know anything about that guy."

Ryan looked back slightly once and looked straight ahead again.

"Other than the name 'Phantom,' I know nothing about it."

"......Um."

The Phantom calls itself "The System" but is nothing more than that. Even his old enemies don't know the meaning and definition of their existence.

What is the purpose of their existence?

What is the purpose of their evil deeds?

They call themselves systems and exist as individuals.

Where is the truth?

Helene was silent, and Ryan shouted: "Hailene."

Helene raised her head and Ryan smiled: "Let us investigate. If we don't know who they are, their purpose and reason for existence, I don't think we can win." He said firmly.

"Ryan..."

Suddenly, Ryan's back looked huge. The small figure that once followed his brother has become very large.

"You are so reliable." Hai Lin said, being moved by the sound of the wind.

"What's wrong?" Ryan asked back.

Helene said to him: "It's nothing. We have to investigate the phantom." Ryan nodded to Helene and agreed.

That street, even though it was night, was as bright as day. Dazzling street lights and neon-like signboards are densely erected between shops. On the streets, crowds crowded, and those accosted by clerks were sucked into stores.

"I heard that this is a city that never sleeps, but it's so silly here." Renault said, looking at the dazzling streets.

"Mr. Renault, wait a moment." Yuyi, who was standing nearby, glanced secretly at Alke who was standing behind, and then reminded him loudly.

Alke noticed this and chuckled.

"This is the imperial capital, a decent city. What Renault said is very vulgar, but it is also true. It's a pity." Alke said helplessly while looking at the young man who was still standing next to Renault.

"Boss! This place is more energetic than Quark! If we were here, we could make more money, right?" the young man said excitedly.

"Indeed, if there are more people here who like to show off, then even the peddling of Gudong will not be left alone." Renault replied, and the young man smiled happily: "Right!"

"Luka. I can understand your excitement, but please be quiet. Although your appearance has recovered, you are actually still a goblin. If you are touched, it may arouse suspicion." Yuyi Look at him with a smile.

"But what is going on here?" Alke crossed his hands and said, "I can't feel the magic, so it's not mutation magic. But according to your skills, it should be 'destruction' type."

"There doesn't have to be only one skill, right?" Renault's words made Alke frown.

"How many more do you have?"

"Who knows? Want to try it? Just use your body."

Alke raised his hands and said, "Spare me."

Alke shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's not fun to fight against those guys who can't see through the situation."

"Wise for the Imperials. You seem to be someone's doppelgänger."

Alke twisted his neck: "I'm quite special." After saying that, Alke started walking, followed by Renault and others.

"Although I want to ask first..."

"What's wrong?"

"Have you met Major General Ozwald?"

"No." Alke was silent for a moment, then quickened his pace.

Renault and Yuyi looked at each other, not understanding his intentions, but they would only know if they saw him, so they followed Alke's footsteps.

When Alke headed towards the alley, a desolate scene awaited Renault and the others.

A swaying, wandering drunk.

A man wearing a dirty jacket and using a blanket instead of sleeping in an alley corner.

A half-naked woman standing on a street corner.

The roads looked dirty at first glance.

Yu Yi lowered her head when she saw this scene. Renault noticed her and spoke: "If you don't want to see, just close your eyes and catch me."

"No, it's not like that..."

Regarding the reply to Yuyi who was in trouble, Luka raised his head and looked at her: "Don't sister Yuyi know?"

"Um?"

“Development must have a cornerstone like ours.”

Yu Yi was frightened by his straightforward eyes.

"Ah, I'm sorry. I am 'a member of this society'." Yuyi said to Renault, and then looked down at Luca.

Then Renault also looked down at Luca: "Yu Yi is not a noble, but more like a person from our side." Renault said, and Luka asked: "Really?"

"Yes." In response to Yuyi's nod, Luka said with a smile: "That's it!"

Alke heard it, but moved forward silently, when Renault walked softly beside him.

"Nothing has changed in this country."

"Yeah, the alleys are pretty much the same."

"Don't you think about the problem?"

"The emperor has the final say in everything we do."

"In other words, if the emperor doesn't move, no one will improve it."

Alke wanted to reply, but stopped and said, "Yes, sorry."

The silence continued.

Reno couldn't help but called: "Hey, what kind of person is Ozwald?"

"Major General..." Alke paused slightly, "is a great man."

"amazing?"

"He has changed. He changed many years ago."

"what happened?"

"This cannot be said."

Renault said boredly: "What is it?" Then he saw Alke through his eyes and knew the reason.

Ozwald seems to have changed since Faye was brought by Renault and he left the country.

"The timing is about the 'Corpse Man.'" He felt that there was a strong relationship of trust between Fay and Ozwald.

"What is he doing now?"

"Well, mainly managing items."

"...What?" Renault was surprised. A person who has even reached the rank of major general is actually assigned to do trivial tasks, which can be called window work.

Often the treatment was intolerable. Renaud believes that it is not the personality that has changed, but the work attitude.

"This is it." Alke said, and the three of them stopped. There was an old two-story building there.
