Two butterflies
by M1zushiAfter the application bombardment finally ended, the system popped up another reconnaissance report: the abnormal frequencies in District 84 were caused by koi and goldfish.
Koi and goldfish are two genotypes that are very similar, with a very low probability of infecting humans, weak lethality, and easy to kill.
They are aberrants with negligible damage.
As one might imagine, the reward calculation for this mission would be disappointing. However, at this moment, the entire Spire was waiting for An Yu to make a decision.
A few minutes later—
– Corner has removed all DPS Protectors!
– Corner has removed all Intelligence Protectors!
– Corner has removed all Control-Assist Protectors!
– High-level Protector Grape has joined the team!
– Ladder No.52 Protector Fengjian Tenyu has joined the team!
The forum instantly erupted in wails of despair.
– I get it now, the true bosses only takes support classes.
– Pure CCs were kicked too, so who’s left in the support category?
– Pure milk, half-milk half-CC, half-milk half-intelligence…
– …He does whatever he wants.
– Looks like Grape is becoming his dedicated healer. I wonder how Feng feels about that.
– By the way, Law’s supervisee can select a dedicated healer. I wonder who will be chosen.
– He just accepted Fengjian Tenyu, a pure healer skilled in blood control. Think about it…
– Shh, rumor has it that Corner has a bit of a masochistic streak.
– No wonder he chose Fengjian. Maybe he likes playing on the edge…
Jiang Xiao’s chat box kept flashing with messages but An Yu muted him and clicked on the profile of “An,” who claimed to be the Spire’s top single-target healer.
The system simultaneously displayed two profile cards. The two individuals had the same name and surname, and their code names were derived from half of their shared name—

An Yu was stunned. “Twins?”
“No, they’re the same person,” Xi De, standing at the doorway, laughed heartily. “An Ning was attacked by a swarm of butterflies at age 20 in the canyon. After waking up, his complete consciousness had disappeared and split into An and Ning, who were respectively infected by the White Morpho Butterfly and the Blue Morpho Butterfly genes. It’s as if one person’s introverted and extroverted sides were forcibly separated. An has some personality flaw, but they share thoughts with each other. If you say something to Ning, An will know as well.”

He didn’t need mental boosts; a healer like An, who could both reduce damage and heal, suited his needs better.

Xi De chuckled. “They’re different. Grape boosts mental resistance, while Ning purifies mental pollution that has already been inflicted. As a Captain, you can’t just consider your own needs. You might not need mental boosts, but your teammates might.”

– The team lineup is now locked: Corner, Grape, An, Ning, and Chao Wu.

Fengjian Tenyu was a small red-haired person with large feline-like eyes that were unforgettable at first glance.

It was Xi De’s suggestion to kick out this pure healer and replace him with Chao Wu, who was familiar with the underwater environment and was half-CC and half-DPS.

As he left the hall, An Yu noticed out of the corner of his eye that Fengjian Tenyu had already left, but Jiang Xiao was still standing there. His wild hair hid his eyes, making it hard to see his expression.

“You took on a mission voluntarily?”

“Yes, sir,” An Yu asked sincerely, “Any other instructions?”
“Take it easy, don’t wear out the healers.” Qin Zhilu added, “Oh, and how’s my bread? Will I be able to eat it when I return the day after tomorrow?”
“Uh… the day after tomorrow…” An Yu quickly calculated—based on Ladder data, the average completion time for a mission of this level was 1.2 to 1.4 days. Given his team’s setup, they should be able to finish faster than average.
So he confidently replied, “You’ll definitely eat it, don’t worry.”
An Yu grabbed the half-loaf of bread he hadn’t finished eating for lunch and stuffed it into his mouth while boarding the plane.
As soon as he pushed the door open, he froze at the entrance, nearly dropping the bread.
—There was an unidentified creature in the cabin.
“You’re stepping on my hair,” a girl with long, seaweed-like rose-colored hair rolled her eyes and snapped irritably, “Lift your foot!”
“Sorry…” An Yu quickly stepped back two paces.
The photo on the profile card hadn’t fully captured the true volume of Chao Wu’s hair—when she stood there, it looked as if a thin stick was supporting a mass of lush, flowing hair. Even when she wasn’t moving, her hair seemed to have a life of its own, swaying with a certain rhythm.
Xi De had said that Chao Wu, was a rebellious underage girl who shouldn’t be provoked, so she had to be avoided.
Therefore An Yu skillfully plastered on a fake smile and maneuvered around the mass of hair to get inside.
The healers were having a small meeting.
Zhu Tao was sitting in the cockpit, sharing his experience, “Be mentally prepared; it’s always going to be extreme. While he’s not causing trouble, try to keep everyone at full health. Otherwise, when the health drops below 5%, you’ll definitely break down before he does.”
Ning sat nearby, surrounded by a calming magnetic field that soothed the mind.
He smiled and said, “My Commander mentioned that An Yu can hold on at critical health levels for a long time, with a HP bar so deep that even you might struggle to keep up.”
“Hmm…” Zhu Tao thought for a moment, “At my peak, I could probably keep him up for about two and a half cycles.”
“As expected, such a deep HP bar!” Ning marveled.
Zhu Tao sighed softly and then glanced at the boy beside Ning through the rearview mirror, “I didn’t expect An to volunteer.”
The boy sitting next to Ning briefly lifted his eyes before lowering them again in silence.
That was An. Coincidentally, he was wearing the same white hoodie as An Yu, but his hoodie had an olive outline mixed with pale gold along the edges, adding a play of light and shadow to the clothing.
Ning patted An’s hand, “After all, he’s the guy who drained you. No healer in the entire Spire wouldn’t want the challenge, right?”
Zhu Tao, seemingly used to An’s silence, chuckled, “I bet An can endure him for three cycles.”
An lifted his head again.
Ning said, “Push it a little, and maybe four cycles.”
“Are we really that far apart?” Zhu Tao pouted, “Of course, if you count damage reduction, then forget I said anything.”
He then smiled with squinted eyes, “But it doesn’t matter; when it comes to popularity and overall capability, I’m still the Spire’s number one healer.”
An remained silent, his white hair hidden under the hood. He chewed his gum and blew a huge bubble, glancing expressionlessly at An Yu, who was standing at the door.
An Yu greeted them and sat down across from Ning.
Xi De wasn’t wrong—Ning’s gentle aura naturally made people feel relaxed, even someone with social anxiety would want to get closer.
“Did you read the files?” Zhu Tao asked, “I heard the military is still digging at the bottom of the Prayer Lake in District 84 and has already uncovered thousands of female corpses. They’re about to dug through Earth.”
An Yu paused, “Female corpses?”
The previous reports only mentioned missing persons, without specifying gender.
“Yeah.” Zhu Tao’s voice deepened. “All of them were young women… and pregnant.”
