On her way back, quite a few Disciples had found out what happened in the House of Law .
Everyone were gossiping, sneaking glances at Su Xue Er from afar .
The way they look at Su Xue Er aside from jealousy, now contains a bit of wary as well .
Wherever Su Xue Er went, the people there would open up a path for her on their own .
“Thank you”
Su Xue Er maintained her smile and nodded at the people around .
Seeing her attitude, the crowd started to think a bit differently .
At least, their animosity has been hidden away, instead of shown right to her face like before .
Su Xue Er finally returned to her own quarters .
She closed the door behind herself .
Su Xue Er sat kneeling on the bed, her head softly touched the wall .
Tears were falling down her face, dripping on her single bed .
“I’m so sorry… Qing Shan, I lost the booklet you gave me…”
After crying for a while, she wiped the tears off her face .
A hair crawled out from inside her mouth and fell on the bed .
It turned back into a ring .
“What’s the situation?” Su Xue Er asked .
The ring answered her: “Their life signs has disappeared”

“Do you think someone would notice something out of place?” Su Xue Er spoke .
“The mother’s study notes were excerpted from 31 handout notes in the library . They are antiqued with the latest nanotechnology, and the material is decayed at the micro level . It is no different from the paper that has existed for decades, so there is out of place”
Su Xue Er was relieved and reached into the void of space .
A blood-colored scroll appeared in her hand .
This was the scroll that the Sentinel gifted her .
Having only arrived at Fog Isle not too long ago, I already managed to receive an official God's Chosen scroll .
-----and one from the Sentinel himself .
If this were to spread, who knows how many would go red with jealousy .
Su Xue Er carefully unraveled the scroll .
It was a scroll donned with a properly drawn pattern .
It depicted a white-robed angel .
The angel’s eyes were hollow, pure .
Around the angel’s head, countless black shadows loomed .
Below the scroll, two lines of words were written .
“Moment of God’s lapsed”
“Note: High-ranked automated type scroll . When an enemy is about to inflict lethal damage, the enemy’s mind will suddenly become blank, duration: 3 seconds”
Su Xue Er’s expression showed joy…
From her knowledge of history and power, this is a scroll that’s powerful enough to cause countless strife .
More importantly ------this scroll depicts an angel, which obviously refers to Guru Isa .
The Sentinel’s reputation isn’t just for show, he actually noticed something .
Su Xue Er carefully put the scroll away before glancing at a phantom UI in her eyes .

This was where her System was .
On the UI, the first Quest [Live or die] is already completed .
She managed to survive and receive a new identity .
In this world, her parents were people who died for Fog Isle, while she was their orphan who drifted to another world .
This was history that has been verified by the world’s laws, all documents and records can prove this .
This was Su Xue Er’s official identity .
As for the second Quest, it still hasn’t appeared yet after all this time .
The System has remained silent ever since then .
Su Xue Er stared blankly at the phantom UI and sighed: “Hey System, when exactly can you talk to me again”
[Ting]!
The System suddenly replied to her .
[The System has used up all its powers to create a perfect identity for you]
[Please remain cautious, the other beta tester has been notified of what happened and is currently erupting in fury]
[She still wants to kill you]
Su Xue Er’s heart tightened .
“I already know that she’s Guru Isa, but why does she want to kill me?” Su Xue Er asked in confusion .
“Because only when you die will she have the right to take the entire System to herself”
“But why?” Su Xue Er yelled out .
This was a mystery that has been bothering her the whole time .
I didn’t even know who she was before, yet she wanted to kill me from the very start .
The System responded: [Aside from the world of Fog Isle, no matter where they came from, only one person may use the God's Chosen’s power to restructure their own world’s order]

“Which means, since I have you, she lost that right?”
[That is the case]
“So she came from the same world I did…” Su Xue Er was surprised .
In her eyes, a line of text began to appear on the System UI .
[Now commencing the second beta test Quest]
[Quest: God's Chosen]
[Quest objective: Become the only beta tester left]
[Note: Of the two beta testers, only one may continue to hold the System]
[Note 2: Once a player leaves Fog Isle, they will be disqualified, permanently unable to connect to the System again]
Reading the Quest description, Su Xue Er fell into contemplation .
Guru Isa wants to kill me .
She probably also received this Quest just now .
How could I deal with such a powerful God's Chosen who holds such well-hidden animosity towards me?
Tonight, I had just proved my innocence, judged by the Sentinel himself .
Even Isa wouldn’t dare to summon myself over to kill me right now .
The Sentinel also seems very considerate of me, enough to give me a scroll!
But there is no time, and the Sentinel cannot keep looking out for such a minor person like myself .
I have to join the qualifications test right away…
Su Xue Er thought for a while, then abruptly asked: “How is the Sentinel’s impression of me?”
This time, she didn’t talk to the System .
[According to a triple analysis of his facial expression, choice of words and gestures, he seems to hold a newly found good will towards you] the ring answered .
Su Xue Er asked: “Is the Sentinel the strongest person on this island?”
[Through comprehensive data analysis, combined with 270 documents in the library, and analyzing 1496 historical events, a conclusion can be drawn: The Sentinel is one of the four strongest people on the island]
[His only weakness is his emotions; in which he misses the people of his past dearly]
“Seems like our plan wasn’t wrong, it’s only the timing that’s off” Su Xue Er spoke .
To fight against my own fate, to gain more power, I have been thinking of a way to become the Sentinel’s Disciple .
But then what about what happened with Guru Isa?
The ring suddenly spoke up: [According to the knowledge we’ve gathered over the past few days about Fog Isle, if I still exist, your plans will be found out by more powerful Gurus]
Su Xue Er silently nodded .
The ring continued: [It’s time to say goodbye, I will have to self-destruct in order to ensure your plan is a success, Su Xue Er]
The corner of Su Xue Er’s mouth twitched, but she said nothing .
She had no more tears to shed today .
[Please remember, I am the combined effort of Impartial Goddess and sir Gu Qing Shan, the Precision Nanomachine ring]
The ring continued .
[I will now find an unrelated location to self-destruct, farewell]
Saying so, the ring dropped down from Su Xue Er’s bed and started to roll outside the room .
Very quickly, it arrived at the door .
Su Xue Er silently sat there, staring as the ring melded itself through the door and disappear from sight .
It’s gone .
First the scripture book, now the nanomachine ring, the items that Gu Qing Shan gave her had left one after another .
They both saved my life .
I was already trying to become stronger, I’ve already used everything I could, but I still had no way to save the things he gave me .
Su Xue Er bit her lip until it started bleeding .
She then caught the blood that was dripping down her chin with her finger and guided it back into her mouth .
A heavy smell of iron mixed with a unique stench .
This feeling that she’s never felt before had replaced her tears and sobbing .
Isa, if you wish to get the System so much, I will make sure that you will part with it forever .
Definitely!
