If it's not because of my amnesia, then it must be because my body is too exhausted, right?

"Wake up... Wake up faster!!"

Hmm, who is calling me over there?

I feel extremely tired, as if countless threads are wrapped around my body, trying to pull me down to the ground.

I...

I...

I...

I...

Am I just deceiving myself again?

Juxi closed his eyes and stretched his arms forward, as if his whole body collapsed to the ground.

He knew, he finally got liberated... Liberated...

"Hey!"

A man with a face covered in blood appeared in front of him. The man had a good-looking face, as if...

"Youxiang..."

Whispering softly, Juxi couldn't help but reach out his hand and started stroking Hei Tong's cheek.

Huh?

Hei Tong originally wanted to comfort Juxi, but who would have thought that Juxi would start touching his own cheek, scaring Hei Tong and causing him to accidentally let go, and Juxi's head fell to the ground.

To make matters worse, Juxi's head didn't fly off in any direction but landed on a hard stone instead!

The only lucky thing was... luckily the stone wasn't sharp.

Bang!

Juxi lost consciousness once again, his eyeballs rolled back, looking somewhat frightening.

Seeing him faint, Hei Tong and Qianjiu had no choice but to carry him with their core armors and fly back to Gete City.

Things were more troublesome than expected. Although they managed to retrieve Juxi, such a dangerous factor, how could they arrange things for him after going back?

Hei Tong started strategizing in his mind. If the people in the safe zone refused to accommodate Juxi, they would have to drive him away!

Or...

"Just like my Black Fox, how about changing identities?" Hei Tong said with a smile.

"That's a good idea... But speaking of which, you two have similar heights, aside from the differences in appearance... But honestly, Juxi's eyes look really similar to yours. You can try having him use the identity of the Black Fox," Qianjiu said, offering a series of good suggestions.

Hei Tong had already thought of that. Just let Juxi become the Black Fox, a ready-made role!

So, Hei Tong and Qianjiu immediately got up and returned to the small villa they started from. Then, they used the Black Fox suit hidden in their bracelets and transformed Juxi into a complete makeover.

"It's done... It seems a bit..." Hei Tong said in surprise.

"I agree. Although the clothes do fit well, but..." Qianjiu was also very surprised, feeling a sense of gathering momentum.

"I know what you're going to say, it's about..."

"Yes, him..."

"It's just too fitting!!!"

It must be said that despite the significant age difference, Juxi's body shape and facial features were astonishingly similar to Hei Tong's.

"It's so alike, I can't believe it... I couldn't even tell myself!"

Hei Tong was very satisfied. As long as both himself and Juxi appeared as the Black Fox at the same time, Bai Xunxiang would have no suspicions.

Well... thinking about it, a man who looks so much like Juxi's sister also has a high probability of acting like his brother.

"Okay, next is to wake up Juxi and tell him his new identity."

Saying that, Qianjiu patted Juxi's face, but there was no response.

"Maybe it's not intense enough. Let's try something more special?" Hei Tong suggested.

"I'll try..."

As soon as the words fell, Qianjiu slapped Juxi's face, but there was still no response.

"Hey!" Hei Tong quickly stepped forward to stop him when he saw this, "I don't think we should use such extreme methods, teacher."

"Then what do you suggest?"

Qianjiu stared at Hei Tong, as if letting him make the decision.

Whoosh~!

Hei Tong fetched a bucket of cold water from the nearby stream and poured it directly onto Juxi's face.

"This won't do. This guy doesn't seem like someone who will obediently comply!"

"..."

Qianjiu didn't know what to say. He wasn't suited for this kind of thing, so he didn't stop Hei Tong from continuing.

"I'm telling you, we're not interrogating a prisoner here. Let's go easier on him."

"Got it. After all, he's also a pitiful person. I won't be too heavy-handed."

"Well, he's your responsibility now. As for whether to hand him over to Bai Xuanxiang, it's up to you. Just be careful when entering the city and don't reveal any flaws."

"I will handle everything, teacher. Please rest assured."

Hei Tong had long thought that Juxi was a very good material. With some adjustments, he could still play a big role.

The city of Geta was in turmoil now. Without someone capable of protecting everyone's safety, it was likely to be swiftly swallowed up by the Imperial Army.

As for the resistance army, it goes without saying. After a bloody battle, they were now struggling to even defend themselves. Both the Alliance Army and the resistance army were severely weakened.

When both sides were unable to continue the fight, they could only temporarily cease hostilities and unite to ward off potential attacks from the Imperial Army.

After the battle, Bai Xuanxiang was the first to summarize the casualties.

First, the SSS-level core controller, Rakshasa, died in the battle, while Hei Tong's father, Haote, was critically injured but managed to survive.

Next were the soldiers of the Alliance Army who participated in the battle. The Alliance Army had committed half of its fighting strength, and most of them did not return, significantly depleting the Alliance Army's vitality.

Lastly were the irrelevant personnel who played no role on the battlefield, thus avoiding mass casualties.

Of course...

If we were to talk about the heaviest casualties, it would be the resistance army.

As the side that was ambushed, the resistance army almost completely collapsed. Only a few high-ranking members led by Bai Feilong survived, along with some survivors.

In other words, after more than 120 years since the establishment of the resistance army by Bai Jianhua, this organization that had given both the Imperial Army and the Alliance Army headaches could finally have some peace.

The result of this battle for the resistance army was almost complete annihilation. They no longer had armed forces to continue a fight, at least not in the short term.

However, Bai Xunxiang breathed a sigh of relief because although the resistance suffered a devastating defeat, they were still a major threat to the Imperial Army.

After leaving the survivor camp in Gete City, most of their remaining soldiers and survivors fled to the northern old territory - North City. As a combination of the two major cities, Tian and Bei, North City was not to be underestimated in terms of power, and it was not impossible for them to make a comeback.

The sky gradually darkened, and the Imperial Army still made no small moves, indicating that they were retreating.

"It seems that this time it's really over."

Qianjiu sat in the café at the academy, sipping his coffee for a long time before finally swallowing it.

"No more taste?"

......

In the dim light, the air was filled with coldness and dampness. Although the weather had gradually improved, it would still be cold as usual in winter.

In the underground of the alliance army... oh no, in Qianjiu's basement, which had little to do with the alliance, Juxi suddenly woke up just as Hei Tong was about to leave.

Although he had been unconscious, Juxi was well aware of everything Hei Tong had done to him, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

"What... what are you going to do!?"

"Well, not much actually..."

"I don't believe it!"

"But it's true, listen to me carefully. If you accept it, I'll let you go."

Saying that, Hei Tong took off the black fox bracelet from himself and threw it in front of Juxi.

"This is for you. You can use the nakin inside it reasonably. You see, it's your living expense."

"Oh... what are the conditions then?"

"The conditions are simple. From today, you will no longer be called Juxi, but Black Fox!"

"Black... Black Fox?!"

Hearing that the other party wanted to rename him, Juxi was suddenly taken aback, feeling a chill in his chin and hair. When he regained his senses, he realized that someone had shaved his beard and combed his hair into the same style as Hei Tong's during his unconsciousness.

Before Juxi could agree, Hei Tong also handed him a set of black clothes and ordered him to put them on quickly.

"As long as you put on this outfit, starting from tomorrow, you will live in this world with a new identity. At the same time, you can have a comfortable and luxurious room in Gete City for you to enjoy."

"Is this the condition for the deal?"

"Yes, you just need to play the role of Black Fox. Don't worry, those who have seen the real face of Black Fox are our own people. You can rest assured, just remember to wear a mask most of the time."

"Well, that's not a problem, but I really want to go and see..."

"See what? The woman from before?"

"Yes, she has a lot to do with my memories. I really want to know the truth of this matter, even if I have to give up everything!"

"...Are you mistaken?"

"..."

"Uncle, haven't you figured it out yet? Your identity, name, wealth, and everything are all part of the conditions!"

"...So what do you mean?"

"So, you have to accept all of this, it's just to exchange for your life!"

"Hey, hey, hey, aren't you afraid that I will escape?"

"Hehehe, that's really funny. After leaving the city of Gert, you won't survive for even a week outside."

"... What do you mean?"

"Let me tell you this. There are only the Rebel Army and the Imperial Army outside now. Let's not talk about the Imperial Army, they will definitely not take you in. But the Rebel Army is different. It is true that they will take you in, but do you know where they are?"

"Where are they?"

"I don't know either. Ever since the Rebel Army was defeated a few days ago, their whereabouts have been unknown. Even if you want to join them, you have to find them first..."

"..."

"By the way, I don't know if they will take you or not, so for now, you can only stay here, otherwise, there will be no way out for you."
