[ ~Ding! Congratulations, Guest Phrolova, correct answer. ]
[ Reward: One ✦✦✦ Silver Treasure Chest. ]
Christopher: "You really picked up a bargain for nothing there."
Scar: "…I never told you guys that I admired some of that person's deeds."
Phrolova: "Did something like that even need to be said? Wasn't it obvious at a glance?"
Jiyan, Iuno, Cartethyia, Carlotta: "… ⦍ClenchesFistJinhsi.jpeg⦎ (Nonsense, how come we didn't see it? )"
Scar: "Tch. Don't think I don't know about the stuff between you two. Believe it or not, I will…"
Phrolova, Christopher: "If you think you can ignore the two of us, you are welcome to try. "
Scar: "What the f%&#@%#*… You two are sore losers, aren't you? Are you two sore losers? ⦍AngryJinhsi.jpeg⦎"

Although the conflict within the Fractsidus trio at this moment left people astonished and pale.
It also allowed them to understand from it… that the Rover seemed to have… some kind of connection with the Fractsidus.
[ ~Ding! Congratulations to Guest Phrolova for opening the ✦✦✦ Silver Treasure Chest and obtaining—The Silver Locket of Bygone Days. ]
[ Item: Silver Locket of Bygone Days. ]
[ Item Grade: Silver Rank. ]
[ Item Description: A deep crimson necklace emitting a faint red glow. Engraved on the cover are the words: "This dream of the afterlife shall never wake again." ]
[ Item Effect: Can store and absorb powerful Resonance abilities. When released, it can provide the user with a 50% – 150% Havoc energy boost. (Duration: 10 minutes) ]
[ Item Special Ability: Sleep while wearing this necklace to meet the person you wish to see in your dreams. ]
When they saw that Phrolova had won a prize, and it was a necklace capable of significantly boosting strength, people were still lamenting her good luck.
However, Phrolova herself froze completely.
As for the first part related to the strength boost, she practically ignored it entirely…
The key was the ability to meet the person one wished to see within a dream; this was incredibly important to her.
Because over these hundreds of years, she had long understood that the frequency left in her right eye… and the path she was pursuing, were ultimately impossible to traverse.
The reason she insisted on walking down this dead-end road was, to put it bluntly, simply because she lacked a target for her faith.
As an existence that was, to a certain extent, immortal and indestructible, if she had no goal… what difference was there between her and a walking corpse?
Furthermore, deep down in everyone's heart, there is always a sliver of wishful thinking, and Phrolova was no exception.
Even though she knew her path was wrong and ultimately impassable, what if?
It was with that kind of mindset that Phrolova had continued as an Overseer of the Fractsidus until today.
So now, this necklace that could allow her to meet her kin in dreams was, for her, beyond doubt precious.

[ Meanwhile, the scene in the video began to play again.
Scar: "I heard you lost your memories?"
Rover: "How did you know?"
Scar: "Hehe. So it's true then?"
Scar: "I suppose so, otherwise that frail appearance you had when you woke up would really make me question the validity of the rumors."
While speaking, Scar also walked up to the Rover, seemingly wanting to confirm the other party's current true strength.
Rover: "You were stalking me?"
Scar: "You noticed? Now that's more like it."
Scar: "Don't hold such hostility toward me. Since you sensed it, you should know… I was merely one of the spectators."
Scar's loaded remarks made the Rover suspicious. The frequency that had appeared alongside Scar earlier, as well as the Jinzhou Magistrate Jinhsi, whom he had not yet met, surfaced in his mind.
Scar: "However, the only one who walked up to you openly and honestly was me."
Scar: "While you were still ignorant of this world, you were already a chip in the arena."
Scar: "A chaotic, unknown factor; the moment you appeared, you attracted a frenzy of snatching."
Scar: "From the instant you opened your eyes, everyone you met understood your utility, including that girl you care about."
With the conversation reaching this point, the reason why Scar had teleported Yangyang away was revealed self-evidently.
Clearly, he was blatantly throwing dirty water on the Jinzhou side to achieve his goal of making the Rover trust the Fractsidus.
Facing such words, the Rover also fell into a brief contemplation. At this moment, he could not refute Scar's words.
But deep within his heart, something still made him trust Yangyang and trust the faction of Jinzhou. ]

Jiyan: "Is this the method of the Fractsidus? Daring not to confront directly, only capable of bewitching hearts in the shadows."
Jinhsi: "Unfortunately, he is facing the Rover. He has no idea about the relationship between the Rover and Jinzhou. ⦍MockeryJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Rover: "Hehe. Scar's eloquence is still a bit lacking. ⦍TeasingJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Changli: "… (No matter how good his eloquence is, the moment you met the Sentinel… wouldn't it all lose its meaning anyway.)"
Of course, Changli was naturally referring to the Rover in the video.
If it were the current Rover, they alone had already gained the Rover's full trust.
Cantarella: "Oh. So the Rover has allied with Jinzhou? Pity that the Rover in the video… seems to have not even met the Magistrate yet."
Augusta: "It is normal for suspicion to arise, but since the opposing side is the Fractsidus… the intensity of that suspicion will likely be greatly reduced naturally."
.....
[ Sure enough, the Rover in the video did not respond with a single word to Scar's bewitching speech from beginning to end.
He simply maintained his guard against Scar, waiting to see what else he intended to say.
Seeing this, Scar had no choice but to continue speaking, instilling certain grand principles into the Rover.
Scar: "This world is just that greedy, cruelly turning a living, breathing person into a functional pawn."
Scar: "Therefore, I want to step forward and tell you the truth. Because I sincerely regard you as a friend, and I feel sorry for everything you are about to face." ]
