Essence [Phantom] Chapter Thirteen (Disappearance)

Rum was firmly grabbed and couldn't use any strength at all…

“Stop, we didn't come here to fight,” the captain's words made Langya release his grip and calmly sit down.

“Sorry, I didn't expect the Stone Protection Plan to cause so much trouble,” Langya said while tidying his clothes.

“My actions were too exposed, and those old guys upstairs noticed…” The helplessness in the captain's tone was clearly understood by Langya.

“Pandora is far away. With current travel capabilities, it takes three years to reach… The battlefield is known for its brutality, because you never know what monsters will appear… Over decades, countless soldiers have been lost…” Remembering the information about Pandora he had seen before, Ruo gave the captain a meaningful look.

“Binding is easy. If you have any problems later, come find me anytime. My ID is: 1.” After saying this, he got up and left.

“I hate him; he's had the same temper all these years,” Rum expressed first after Langya left.

“He's still young,” Langya said, giving Rum a knowing gesture.

As the night gradually retreated and the sun slowly rose…

Returning from a morning walk, Yu took a warm shower to remove the sweat, stretched lazily, and yawned.

“Charge, Shenge! I'm here to find you, hahaha!” Yu shouted as he ran back to the bedroom.

He started the console and waited for the simulator's blue light to turn on. Yu put it on his head, found a comfortable position, and lay down…

After watching the footage of a 1,000-meter nuclear explosion, Yu successfully entered the game.

“This game, logging in and out is so special,” he thought.

Looking at the bustling city, Yu felt he should do something and didn't want to be unable to stand after seven days. He gave himself a determined look and ran down a street.

“Who's there!” Yu felt like he was grabbed.

“Come with me, I have something to tell you,” Shenge pulled Yu into a taxi and headed out of the city…

“Good morning, hehe, how did you find me?” Yu asked warmly.

Shenge didn't respond. No matter what Yu asked, Shenge remained silent.

On a hill in the suburbs…

Shenge handed a bag to Yu. “This is your beginner's gift pack…”

Yu took the package but didn't rush to open it. “It seems like you have something to tell me,” Yu asked tentatively.

Shenge: “Yes, I'm about to leave.”

Yu: “Go where?”"Shenge:" 'I don't know, I discovered something.'

Yu: 'Tell me, what happened?'

'I don't know how to tell you, anyway, it's very complicated,' Shenge said dejectedly.

'I am different from other novice instructors. I can feel the system's leniency toward my power, so I tell you many things you shouldn't know. At the same time, I also feel the system's control over me...'

'I can sense that.'

'I feel like the system is investigating me. Maybe I'll be erased. I don't want to drag you down, so I've decided to leave.'

'What are you talking about, Shenge...'

'What I'm going to say next is very important. You must remember it carefully. Remember as much as you can. Do you understand?' Shenge said commandingly.

Yu was still dazed...

Time passed without notice until Shenge stood up to leave.

'I really like the name you gave me...' This was the last thing Shenge said to Yu as he disappeared.
