Seeing the sea of light outside the window, Anna couldn’t help but gasped, covering her mouth with her hands.

The brilliant light peered in through the window pane, revealing every detail of her stunned expression.

“How is that possible…” she muttered as she couldn’t help but look at Gu Qing Shan.

“That’s enough for now” Gu Qing Shan spoke again.

In a single moment, as if it was timed, all the lights shut down at the same time.

The orange sun set once again covered the cityscape, the world returned to silence.

With how quickly the lights disappeared, anyone who managed to notice only thought it was some sort of fireworks that went off, or a figment of their imagination.

Zhang Ying Hao poked at Gu Qing Shan and silently asked: “Isn’t that too grand of a scene?”

Impartial Goddess quickly explained: [Mr. Zhang Ying Hao, this is nothing but the annual anti-fire circuitry inspection, please do not be surprised]

“What a terrible excuse…” Zhang Ying Hao mumbled.

Just now, Anna couldn’t believe her eyes, but now she didn’t believe her ears either.

After thinking for a bit, she asked hesitantly: “Just now, because you gave the orders, Impartial Goddess did… ‘that’?”

Gu Qing Shan nodded.

Zhang Ying Hao also patted Gu Qing Shan on the shoulder and said: “That’s right, our Ms. Impartial is this guy’s lov—– his companion and friend”

Gu Qing Shan glared at him.

Zhang Ying Hao put both hands up, admitting his mistake.

Anna opened her eyes wide, then suddenly yelled: “Oh my god! So you’re the Murder Clown!”

“That’s wrong” Gu Qing Shan smiled and replied.

Zhang Ying Hao quickly fixed her misunderstanding and very grandly explained: “That’s right, the Murder Clown is only his subordinate”

Anna stood there, stunned and only managed to mutter: “You guys…”

“We are the resistance against the Game of Eternal, welcome” Gu Qing Shan said.

Anna was not only shocked, she also had an expression of understanding like never before.

The entire world was currently under the fear casted by the Murder Clown, but none actually knows that the true culprit behind that is standing right here. And he’s also the man that she’s got her eyes on!

So he’s already this impressive huh.

——-is there anything else that he’s able to do that I don’t know?

Holding this much power, he really does have the ability to help me reclaim the Holy Empire.

And the most important thing is, he’s not lying to me.

For the first time in a long time, Anna smiled brightly again, asking: “Everyone thought that the Murder Clown is the same as the Game of Eternal, something that came from the unknown. Who knew it was actually you that did it”

“After we deal with the Game of Eternal, I’ll fulfill the promise I made to you” Gu Qing Shan said very seriously.

Anna’s eyes sparkled, but didn’t respond to that.

“Be assured, I have the ability to fulfill that promise” seeing her non-reaction, Gu Qing Shan added.

Looking at his expression, Anna’s lips slowly curled into a smile.

“Then, what is our little team here called?” she asked.

Gu Qing Shan and Zhang Ying Hao exchanged looks and saw the helplessness in each other’s eyes.

Just naming the game has already driven the four of them mad, so they didn’t have time to think about any team name yet.

Just like how Ye Fei Li said, they can’t even introduce themselves properly.

“Hah—- about that, we still don’t have a name” Gu Qing Shan said, a bit uneasy.

They don’t even have a name yet? Anna was a bit surprised, then asked: “Who do we have in this team?”

“A very strong Man Killer Fiend…” Gu Qing Shan answered.

“…And a brilliant old pervert” Zhang Ying Hao added.

Anna glared at the two of them, then pursued further: “Do we have a place to stay?”

Not knowing why, both Gu Qing Shan and Zhang Ying Hao sighed from relief.

“Rest assured, we have an HQ” Gu Qing Shan answered very firmly.

“Right, usually we stay in the sky” Zhang Ying Hao added.

“When we need to rest, we come back down to eat and rest” Gu Qing Shan added more.

Anna feels that they were becoming more and more unreliable, but continued to ask patiently: “Except for what you said before, what does this team actually get together to do exactly?”

““Making a game”” both of them answered at the same time.

Anna almost felt her head explode from anger, but saw their dead serious expression, she held it down.

But she still angrily complained: “Hah, why do I feel so uneasy about this ———fine, I think I need something to drink first before I can try understanding you guys”

Gu Qing Shan and Zhang Ying Hao were both caught off guard.

“There’s a new member joining you, wouldn’t you normally gather around, drink a little something as a celebration?” Anna raised her eyebrows and questioned.

“Ah, so we should, erm ——so do you drink tea or coffee?” Zhang Ying Hao agreed, nodded and stood up to brew something.

Anna ignored him, instead turning to look at Gu Qing Shan.

“The emperor still hasn’t sent the wine over…” Gu Qing Shan hesitantly answered.

Anna clenched her fist, about to burst.

Luckily, Impartial Goddess interrupted them: [There’s an open bar on the third floor]

“You two wait here, I’ll go get some alcohol” Gu Qing Shan instantly got up and left.

I didn’t prepare any alcohol despite knowing that Anna was here, that really was a mistake.

“I’ll go get some glasses” Zhang Ying Hao left with him.

The door closed.

The silence took over the room, Anna contemplated for a very long time, but still shook her head without understanding.

“Making a game? Seriously, what does that mean?”

Gu Qing Shan was headed to the open bar, talking with Zhang Ying Hao on the way.

“What sort of alcohol does the princess drink? Fruit cider? Champagne? Red wine?” Zhang Ying Hao asked.

“No, she drinks strong alcohols, whatever we can drink, she can also, and she’s a better drinker than both of us” Gu Qing Shan answered.

Suddenly, the Holo-Brain in his breast pocket lit up.

Impartial Goddess spoke: [Sir, there’s something I’m not sure if I should report to you]

“So there’s still something that you can’t confidently decide for yourself?” Gu Qing Shan casually asked.

[Because this is a personal issue] Impartial Goddess answered.

“Whose?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

[The President] Impartial Goddess replied.

“There’s something with his health?” Gu Qing Shan quickly asked.

[There isn’t] Impartial Goddess answered.

“As long as he’s healthy there’s no problem. I don’t really like to peek at other people’s private affairs” Gu Qing Shan spoke.

Then he stopped.

“Actually, tell me, what’s the issue?” Gu Qing Shan was actually a bit interested.

[The President seems to be suffering from short-term memory loss recently, quite a few important issues require my assistance to complete] Impartial Goddess explained.

“Short-term memory loss?” Gu Qing Shan felt it a bit strange.

[That is correct, he only recalls matters that happened within the last 3 years clearly]

“What about before that?”

[I feel that he’s forgotten a lot of things]

“How long has this went on?”

[Five days]

“That’s not a very long time, assign him a professional doctor. The level of medicine in our Confederate has fixed the issues of Alzheimer’s and other old-people mental diseases long ago. No need for you to get his permission, just assigning him a doctor is fine” Gu Qing Shan was relieved and said.

[Yes]

“If that doesn’t work, immediately report to me” Gu Qing Shan added.

[Yes sir] Impartial Goddess replied.
