Liao Zhong applied to headquarters to allow Chen Duo to leave the Dark Fortress. Although Chen Duo still had poison in her body, she had been trained to control it. However, Bi Youlong deemed it too risky and stated the company had no obligation to cover the costs of her departure. Liao Zhong proposed that Chen Duo leave as a special team member, taking over the position of his team members who had grown less capable.

After deliberation, the board agreed but made it clear that Liao Zhong would bear full responsibility for any accidents. They also provided a collar with an explosive mechanism that could be triggered at any time to neutralize Chen Duo in case of danger. At the age of twenty, Chen Duo left the Dark Fortress as a special team member for the Southwest Region. Under Liao Zhong’s arrangement, she successfully completed several missions, which satisfied headquarters.

However, the doctor who had trained Chen Duo began to feel something was off. During multiple missions, Chen Duo’s heart rate remained unnaturally stable, which was not the behavior of a normal person. Liao Zhong dismissed these concerns. During another mission, Chen Duo reported a breach in her protective suit, alarming Liao Zhong, who rushed to her location. He found her calmly petting a stray cat.

She later brought the cat back to the Dark Fortress for observation, ensuring it hadn’t been contaminated by the poison. Chen Duo told Liao Zhong that the cat was fine and explained that she had deliberately suppressed her toxins. She revealed that she could now control the release of toxins for short periods.

Liao Zhong felt this was a step closer to Chen Duo becoming a normal person, but the doctor disagreed, warning that prolonged toxin suppression could cause irreversible damage and eventual loss of control. During a mission to capture fugitives, Chen Duo unexpectedly went missing. In her final communication, she told Liao Zhong that she had encountered three individuals and that the situation was complicated.

Liao Zhong reported this to headquarters, and Bi Youlong ordered that if Chen Duo was not found within 72 hours, the collar should be detonated. The people Chen Duo encountered were Ma Xianhong and his group. Ma Xianhong took Chen Duo to Biyou Village. When Chen Duo woke up, Ma Xianhong did not harm her but instead took her to the village entrance and let her leave freely.

Chen Duo thought Liao Zhong would come to pick her up, but Ma Xianhong showed her a damaged locator and communication device, stating that no one would come for her. After Ma Xianhong returned to the village, Chen Duo observed the peaceful environment of Biyou Village and stayed there for the entire day. That night, Ma Xianhong saw Chen Duo still standing at the village entrance and became intrigued. Chen Duo shared her past with Ma Xianhong.

While she slept, Ma Xianhong removed her explosive collar and told her that Liao Zhong had only been using her. To prove it, he activated the collar’s switch, cutting a large tree in half instantly. Chen Duo still refused to believe that Liao Zhong would harm her. Ma Xianhong told her that if she wished, she could stay in Biyou Village, and he would find a way to cure her.

Chen Duo agreed to stay but requested to meet Liao Zhong one last time. Chen Duo arranged to meet Liao Zhong in a remote location. Liao Zhong wore a surveillance device, and every move was monitored by headquarters. Upon seeing Chen Duo unharmed, Liao Zhong was overjoyed and tried to bring her back to the Dark Fortress. Chen Duo explained that she no longer wanted to return.

Headquarters immediately ordered her execution, but Liao Zhong hesitated, saying he could still convince her to change her mind. Unaware of headquarters' orders, Chen Duo misunderstood and believed Liao Zhong truly intended to harm her. In self-defense, she killed Liao Zhong. Lao Meng, while recounting Chen Duo’s story, became visibly upset. Zhang Chulan, however, felt that Chen Duo might be hiding certain details.

He questioned why, after gaining her freedom, she had risked meeting Liao Zhong again, knowing it could endanger her life. Other team members seemed to share this sentiment but chose to remain silent. Zhang Chulan decided to seek Wang Ye’s help in analyzing the situation but remembered Wang Ye’s usual disinterest in such matters. Wang Ye was either focused on finding the Furnace of Self-Cultivation or on his own spiritual practices.

Zhang Chulan then turned to Zhuge Qing and arranged to meet him by the river. After hearing Zhang Chulan’s account, Zhuge Qing speculated that there might have been an extraordinary emotional bond between Chen Duo and Liao Zhong, one that drove her to risk the collar being detonated. Zhang Chulan then asked Zhuge Qing about his recent plans with Ma Xianhong, but Zhuge Qing did not respond.

To uncover what had happened between Chen Duo and Liao Zhong before his death, Zhang Chulan sent Feng Baobao to speak with Chen Duo. As Feng Baobao was not skilled in communication, she wore an earpiece to receive remote instructions. Chen Duo told Feng Baobao that before his death, Liao Zhong ignored headquarters’ orders and desperately tried to convince her to change her mind.

Chen Duo explained to Liao Zhong that she didn’t want a normal life and that no one had ever truly understood her. She then released her toxins to kill Liao Zhong. With his last bit of strength, Liao Zhong managed to deactivate the remote control. Before Chen Duo could finish recounting her story, there was a loud noise outside. Feng Baobao rushed to the courtyard and discovered that the area had been surrounded by giant bamboo poles.

When she tried to cut a path with her axe, the poles quickly regenerated. Meanwhile, the yellow dog, Chen Junyan, ran to the Outsiders' courtyard and barked wildly at Lao Meng. Realizing that Chen Duo was in danger, Lao Meng sprang into action.
