"Do you want to die? I don't mind either way. My job only requires ensuring your physical body survives."

Lin Ye casually interjected.

"You have a way from this height?! Isn't the connection to the Real World severed?"

Phoebe hurriedly handed control of her body over to Lin Ye. If possible, she certainly didn't want to die here.

"While dealing with those abnormal incidents earlier, I collected some spiritual energy. This spiritual energy is the only remaining anomalous phenomena left in this reality. Only I can help you survive. However, if you want to commit suicide, I can also wait for you to die and then use this spiritual energy to repair the body."

Lin Ye felt he could return to the asylum at any time. After the Real World distanced itself from the reality world, he had developed this feeling.

But there were still some things he hadn't finished.

"Please, I must survive. Unlike others, I really don't want to die."

Phoebe said solemnly.

"Alright."

Lin Ye controlled the spiritual energy within his body to generate counterforce below. Although the spiritual energy stored within him wasn't much, his skill in utilizing spiritual energy far surpassed that of ordinary spiritual energy users.

Chaos reigned on the ground below. With the connection severed, those Giant Infants went completely out of control and lost the power sustaining their existence.

Amidst the filthy flesh and blood, some surviving Lunatics were attacking Kexi and the others.

With the influence of the Real World gone, Little Yi returned to a normal state. The others, after the previous battle, were almost completely exhausted.

Fortunately, those Lunatics had also lost the various abnormal abilities derived from the Real World.

Lin Ye controlled Phoebe's body to descend from the sky. A young man, acting like a Lunatic, charged at Lin Ye. Lin Ye had caused him to lose all hope; now he just wanted to perish together with Lin Ye.

"Watch out!"

Kexi noticed the situation on Lin Ye's side and shouted loudly.

"You'd better face reality. I'm not your suicide buddy."

*Clang!*

Lin Ye gave the young man a solid whack with a black frying pan that appeared from who-knows-where. The blow knocked the young man's head askew.

The young man collapsed to the ground. He still wanted to struggle, but had lost the ability to do so.

"Who else wants a taste of the pan?"

Lin Ye approached those Lunatics, brandishing the frying pan. Anyone who ran a little too slow would get a pan to the face. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"...Wasn't the Real World severed? Why do I feel she's completely unaffected?"

"Woo-yi..."

"Earlier, I thought she was going to fall to her death."

Kexi and the others lay on the ground, watching as Lin Ye continuously knocked down the surrounding Lunatics, as if possessing limitless stamina.

"Do you all want to commit suicide? Do you need me to give you a pan treatment too?"

Lin Ye walked over to his companions. He was actually exhausted too, but as long as he didn't show it, those Lunatics would have to flee.

So, as long as he held the frying pan, he was invincible.

"Don't talk nonsense. I never thought about suicide. I just wanted to change my way of living."

The Woman with Glasses leaned against the corpse of a Giant Infant, a weak expression on her face.

"Me too. Having survived this time with such difficulty, I should at least live a few more years."

The old man leaned on his longsword. Several corpses of Lunatics lay around him.

Kexi and the middle-aged police officer leaned against each other, completely spent.

Little Yi wrapped bandages around her body. She looked around blankly, seemingly having forgotten the events of the past.

In the distance, the sound of police sirens rang out. Some police cars were approaching the area.

"Work's done. Time for me to head back."

Lin Ye released the frying pan and returned control of the body to Phoebe.

Before Phoebe could thank him, Lin Ye returned to the asylum.

"Welcome back."

The Director still sat opposite the desk, as if nothing had happened earlier.

"Is that it? Does Phoebe's body have a connection to the asylum?"

Lin Ye could roughly guess the Director's intention.

"After a person dies, their mental energy dissipates. However, for some individuals with powerful mental strength, even after death, their Consciousness doesn't vanish quickly. This institute can house such Consciousness."

The Director said with a smile.

"Phoebe's Consciousness is in the asylum. There exists some connection between her and her physical body. And that body has now become the only link between the Real World and the reality world... Did you anticipate this outcome before sending me over?"

Lin Ye knew this old man was tricky to deal with, but he didn't expect him to be this formidable.

"How could that be? I'm not a deity, of course I can't calculate to that extent. I just believed you would definitely handle this matter well."

Regarding Lin Ye's speculation, the Director did not admit to it.

"Better be that way."

Lin Ye turned and left the director's office.

After leaving the director's office, Lin Ye went to Ward 419 and played dinosaur simulation with the young girl for a while before returning to the Shelter.

…………………………………

After returning to the Shelter, seeing it was still early, Lin Ye took his pets to the Rest Area for a sumptuous lunch. Afterwards, he went to the Game Room to complete his daily cycle.

This was Lin Ye's first attempt at spiritual energy circulation after advancing. Now, each time he performed spiritual energy circulation consumed a large amount of spiritual energy. The spiritual energy in the Game Room was starting to be a bit insufficient.

'Looks like I need to find a replacement for the Game Room.'

The Game Room was still barely sufficient for now, so Lin Ye wasn't in a hurry.

After completing his daily cycle, Lin Ye returned to the Shelter and began studying those items he hadn't had time to research before.

Time quickly approached nighttime. Lin Ye tidied up the Shelter and began preparing dinner.

The dinner ingredients were still delicious meat chunks; the cooking utensil was still the card frying pan.

After making dinner, Lin Ye opened the Group Chat and the Music Box and began eating.

"This week is about to end again. I'm starting to get used to life here."

"Life here is much more comfortable than going to work, at least I don't have to get up at six-thirty every morning to clock in."

"Not going to work doesn't come with life-threatening dangers. Not participating in the Nighttime Activity, that's another story."

"Who says not going to work means no life-threatening dangers?"

"It's strange. I actually don't miss my past life at all."

"Stop talking about useless stuff. Let's chat about the Nighttime Activity."

"What's there to chat about? Isn't it just the War Front mission? If it changed to another activity, I'd actually be happier."

"Exactly, the battlefield is too dangerous. I'd rather switch to a Nighttime Activity we haven't experienced before."

"Isn't it just killing ten enemies to come back?"

"Killing ten enemies isn't that easy."

"Actually, it's not that difficult. I'm just afraid of being too greedy and not knowing when to stop."

"Knowing when to pull back is crucial."
