The moment Zuo Ci heard the news of the death of his stepfather Saurons, Zuo Ci felt numb all over, and the world turned into black and white.
Sorens, this curse-like name, was once his driving force to become stronger, and also his biggest inner demon. He wants to beat him, fight desperately for it, become stronger and stronger for it! Keep getting stronger!
In the end, in the game world of "The Continent of the Brave", in Keen's bloody and brutal offensive and defensive war, they reached a duel on the top of a king tower.

"Zuo Ci, I know you've always hated me." Sorens in the game said this without blinking his green eyes under his ugly mask before pulling out his chain scythe.
However, Zuo Ci, who has been transformed into a god, has long disregarded his stepfather. He knew that as long as he released the magical skill of "God Evil Soul Lock", their battle would be over.
"Hate? I don't have any feelings for you." Zuo Ci replied coldly.
Sorens, who is a master, can naturally perceive Zuo Ci's strength, but his dignity does not allow him to surrender without a fight. Hearing Zuo Ci's words, he smiled lightly.
"Well, let's get started."
The battle ended almost instantly. Zuo Ci, who has stepped into the god rank, is not as powerful as the lower rank Sorens. Even if his rank has reached the top, but he can't break the god, it is a complete disparity in strength.
Sorens, who was lying on the ground completely immobile, had his mask shattered, revealing an ugly smile.
"You are indeed his child."
Zuo Ci achieved his wish, but there was a emptiness in his heart. He turned around and was about to leave when he heard Solons speak.
"I want to win him all my life, and of course I won't be willing to lose to you. Zuo Ci, next time, I will definitely win you."
Zuo Ci's back froze for a second, and then replied:
"Looking forward to fighting again."
After Zuo Ci finished speaking, a shifting shadow left.
No one noticed the slight smile on his lips.

After this few-sentence confrontation, Zuo Ci achieved his "life goal" of defeating his stepfather Sorens. He thought that at the moment of victory, he would be ecstatic, but in fact he was not.
The heart that is as calm as water is filled with loss and emptiness. At that moment, Zuo Ci finally understood that an invisible bond, a special bond, had already formed between him and his stepfather Sorens.
They are destined to be "opponents" for a lifetime, and the "kinship" of that lifetime cannot be broken.
It was the same for Zuo Ci, and it was the same for Saurons.
At the moment when he defeated Saurons, Zuo Ci was already looking forward to the next duel, waiting for his stepfather's counterattack.
However, everything came to an abrupt end with the news of Saurons' death.
Zuo Ci really didn't understand how that vicious and powerful stepfather died so suddenly and inexplicably. He was unprepared for this, only shocked...
---
"He can't die!"
Zuo Ci looked at the body of Saurons, and said these words coldly.
"We know it's hard for you to accept this fact, so please let us be sorry."
The staff of the funeral home spoke words of comfort politely and professionally.
"It's impossible for him to die, he's Saurons."
Zuo Ci clenched his fists.
"Everyone is mortal, no matter how powerful a hunter is, he is still a human being."
The staff of the Hunter Committee who brought Zuo Ci said so.
"No, it's impossible. "The Continent of the Brave" has been liberated, and all the imprisoned people have come out. Why did he die?"
Zuo Ci looked at the staff fiercely.
"Mr. Sollens' autopsy report shows that he died of organ failure. It is estimated that he stayed in the game for a long time, which caused his body to weaken and eventually died. This kind of thing is still very common."
Zuo Ci didn't speak anymore, but his expression clearly said: I don't believe it.

Refusing to sign the death confirmation form of Sorens, Zuo Ci returned to the home he and Sorance once had, the place he had fled from.
It was still the humble place in memory, but it was much cleaner and tidier. It could be seen that Solons' state of mind had changed over the past few years.
Zuo Ci took out an environmental protection box and began to collect his stepfather's belongings.
There are not many clothes, only three sets, and the daily necessities are simple and simple, which looks a bit pitiful.
Until Zuo Ci opened a certain drawer embedded in the wall and saw a group photo, in which the young Sorens stood beside Zuo Ci's biological father with an expression of disbelief, and the two formed a strange relationship. tacit understanding.
Zuo Ci silently put away the photos and continued to tidy up.
When all the personal belongings of Sorens in the house were put into the square environmental protection box, Zuo Ci received Sorens’s backup network disk, which should contain the things he left in the Internet society during his lifetime. all traces.
Zuo Ci opened the Pandora's box, and immediately saw the folder on the light screen desktop. He opened the file—
I saw that it was full of online reports about myself and photos from the game.
Zuo Ci's heart was shaken, in order to temporarily calm down, he turned off the light screen, and then looked around this even more deserted room.
He decided that starting today, this place will be his home.

The new instructor, Sai Lin's demanding requirements for their five-person hunter team, is not a difficult task for Zuo Ci.
At this moment, Zuo Ci held a rather skeptical attitude towards the death of his stepfather Sorens, and this was also the thing he couldn't let go of—
Sorens is one of the top hunters, he has participated in so many dangerous missions, of course he knows all the ways to protect himself.
Before entering "The Brave Continent", he must have made sufficient preparations. Moreover, he hid his incubator in a secret place. This behavior seemed to be worried that his main body would be attacked after entering the game.
Zuo Ci once thought that Saurons hid his incubator to guard against himself. But judging by his feelings for himself, that doesn't seem to be the case.
So, who is Sorens guarding against
Although Zuo Ci had such doubts in his heart, he wanted to find the real Knight more as a matter of urgency.
He is the person who developed "Continent of Braves". He should be able to monitor all the data that happens in the game, and he can also give him the answer: Was Sorens' death caused by a game accident

Zuo Ci knew that Knight was wanted by the police all over the world, so he would do everything possible to hide his whereabouts.
So, on a rare occasion, he called Witt to ask for help.
Because he knew that the Lei's Group, the family to which Witt belonged, was also working hard to find Knight.
Witt got through to Zuo Ci, and after learning about his demands, he sighed:
"You know that I, like you, am trying my best to find Knight. I will tell you as soon as I have news about him."
"We don't have time." Zuo Ci said flatly.
"I know, we promised the Holy Spirit—to protect the game "Continent of the Brave" from being destroyed. Now the code of the entire game is in Knight's hands. If we can't find him in time, we may not be able to keep this game—"
No matter he took the initiative to destroy it, or someone else found it first. We can't keep this game. "
"One promise, one thousand gold. Besides, there are some truths that only he knows."
"Well... I will definitely try my best to understand Lei's Group's tracking information on him, other than that..."
"Besides, I might be able to enter "The Continent of the Brave" and try my luck again."
Zuo Ci said so.
