To solve this series, let's analyze the rotational movement of the arrow in image_9a799d.png.

Pattern Analysis
Rotation: Look at the movement of the arrow in each step:

Figure 1 to 2: The arrow rotates 45 degrees counter-clockwise.

Figure 2 to 3: The arrow rotates another 45 degrees counter-clockwise.

Figure 3 to 4: The arrow rotates another 45 degrees counter-clockwise.

Figure 4 to ?: Following this pattern, the arrow must rotate another 45 degrees counter-clockwise.

Result: An arrow pointing "up-right" at 45 degrees (Figure 4) rotated another 45 degrees counter-clockwise will point straight up.
