Chapter 1274: Chapter 718: It’s Okay, I’m Here

Yangyang, still inebriated, continued: “Every time I go home, it’s in such a hurry, and before I can even say anything to my parents, I have to leave again. The Spades need me too. I don’t dare act cutesy with them, because it would terrify them… You might find it hard to understand the mindset of the wilderness people. To ordinary wilderness folk, the Fire Pit and the Spade members are like gods, no longer family.”

“The identity of a Force Field Awakener is like a curse for me, tearing me apart from my family, making me a figure high above. Later, Yan Liuyuan came. He asked me if I wanted to go to the Outer World. At that time, I really wanted to leave there, to shake off others looking at me as a ‘Force Field Awakener.’ He promised me it wouldn’t take long, at most three years, so I agreed.”

“After arriving in the Outer World, part of my memory was sealed by him,” Yangyang said, “Those days were very lighthearted. I drifted out to sea, going wherever I wanted, without any responsibilities.”

“After crossing over, my memory gradually returned, and I rejoined the Spades. Then came all kinds of missions, all kinds of responsibilities. Then I learned… during the three years I was in the Outer World, in a cleanup operation by the Federation Group army, the settlement where I was born was destroyed. My parents were taken by Chen’s Army to explore Taboo Land No. 008 and died. Previously some Time Travelers speculated I was with Chen’s Consortium, even some people in the Inner World thought so, but that’s not the case. I have a deep grudge against the Chen Clan, or rather, against all the consortiums.”

Yangyang said nonchalantly: “I was thinking, if I hadn’t become an Internal Test Player, they wouldn’t have been involved. If I hadn’t awakened my Force Field Ability, then I could have spent more decades with them…”

Qing Chen suddenly understood why Yangyang was committed to overthrowing the consortium’s rule. It turned out that hatred was her motivation.

He had lost loved ones too, so he knew what hatred felt like.

He carried Yangyang through the long corridor of the ship, all the way to the end.

Yangyang continued: “I don’t even know Yan God… well, that’s what the Fire Pit and the Spades call him. I don’t know how he sealed my memory. To this day, my memory hasn’t fully recovered. If I ever see him again, I wish he could seal my memory again.”

Qing Chen suddenly said: “It’s Taboo ACE-046, the Dull Scissors, that taboo item is in his possession.”

The Federation has two famous pairs of scissors, one is ACE-026 Silhouette, and the other is ACE-046 Dull Scissors. The former is used for combat, Qing Chen plans to give it to Chen Zhuoqu. This King of Female Rolls has extraordinary ability, but it’s a pity she only controls herself; giving her a Silhouette could unleash her full potential.

The latter can be used to cut memories; just lightly cutting a strand of hair can make the target forget many things.

This is a god’s weapon, to the extent that very few in the current Federation remember Yan Liuyuan anymore.

Qing Chen said: “If I see him next time, I’ll ask if he can help you…”

“No need,” Yangyang’s head rubbed on Qing Chen’s back, wiping her tears dry: “It’s all in the past, I still have many things to do, I can’t lose my memory. I’m sorry, I had ulterior motives when I first approached you, I know you could feel it, but I needed to get revenge.”

Qing Chen suddenly realized that this young girl was actually just like him, both bearing responsibilities they shouldn’t have had to endure at such a young age, always being needed by others along the way.

From the moment she crossed over, Yangyang was constantly organizing various marches and was responsible for building the bridge between the Spades and the Knights.

After knowing him, she became his Protector.

She rescued Xiao Zhenji and him from the Island Country and served as his Protector on the Barents Sea.

Even when traveling with him, she had to take on the responsibility of a Protector, always being needed by him.

But this seemingly strong girl had a soft side in her heart, missing her parents like a little girl, needing someone to protect her too.

Qing Chen suddenly stopped in the corridor: “Do you want to win your money back?”

“Huh?” Yangyang was puzzled.

Qing Chen suddenly turned, striding towards the casino with her on his back.

“Aren’t you afraid of too many prying eyes?” Yangyang asked puzzled.

“Not anymore,” Qing Chen said: “Today, whatever you want to do, I’ll accompany you. If you want to gamble, I’ll be with you, if you want to dance, I’ll go with you too. Even though I can’t dance, I’m not afraid of making a fool of myself. I haven’t learned Texas Hold’em yet, but I can win at Blackjack until dawn. This game, though seemingly a gamble with the dealer, is ultimately just a math game for you alone. Probability is the key to winning.”

Yangyang suddenly smiled and asked: “What if the casino sees you winning too much and doesn’t let us off the ship?”

Qing Chen said: “Someone who can kill their way out of the A02 secret military base isn’t afraid of fighting their way out of a casino.”

Arriving at the casino, Qing Chen’s strange appearance of carrying Yangyang on his back attracted a lot of attention.

He didn’t care much about it, just stood in front of the twelve Blackjack tables, his pupils suddenly narrowing, continuously calculating the numbers, cards, and probabilities of each table.

The number of poker cards is limited, the croupier opens two new decks each time, allowing the gamblers to check them.

Then the croupier shuffles the cards and starts dealing, you get two cards, and the dealer gets two cards.

Face cards count for 10 points, and the person closest to 21 points wins the chips.
