"… So, that's the basic situation."
Due to Tang Hao's severe anemia, his body was extremely weak, and even speaking was a little strenuous. It took him an entire half an hour to explain everything to Yu Ji.
In this half an hour, he said almost everything he could say, from when he came to this world, to seeing the scene after the destruction of humanity, to the hope left by Roman in Chaldea, to how he returned to this era through the time machine. He did not hide anything. After all, it was not something that could not be said.
Of course, there were also things that he did not say. For example, her original Guild Zero had become his funny zero.
"So that's how it is. No wonder I always felt that whether it is the way you speak or the things you take out, they are all strange. It turns out that you are not from this era at all …" Yuji showed an expression of sudden realization, as if she had solved a long-hidden doubt in her heart. She then looked at Tang Hao, her eyes flashing. "So, when you complete the puzzle of humanity, will you go back to the original era?"
"Yes."
Tang Hao nodded. Although he did not know how he would return to the future after the puzzle of humanity was completed, according to Roman's diary, he should directly return to a certain period of time in Chaldea … In other words, this Great Qin Era was actually equivalent to a relatively special singularity. The difference between it and other singularities was that it could affect the correct human history.
Of course, this was only a guess after all. To be on the safe side, when Makase and Hong Liqi built the time machine, they still set the return option. Even if the guess was wrong, he could still return to the future through the time machine.
Although it was very likely that he would not be able to use it …
"So, from the beginning, you planned to cheat me, right!" Suddenly, Yuji gritted her teeth, grabbed Tang Hao's neck, and said fiercely, "Since you are from the future, then you will not die in this era. And then you made that bet with me, that means I will be your assistant for at least two thousand years, you liar!"
"Ugh … Don't be so hard, I can't breathe … And you're wrong, I will die … If you continue to pinch me like this, I will really die in this era …"
"Humph!" Seeing that Tang Hao's entire face was flushed red, Yu Ji finally retracted her hand.
Tang Hao caught his breath and said with a wry smile, "Although it's my fault for lying to you, you don't have to be so angry. After all, if I really return to the future, the bet will naturally be invalid, won't it?"
Ineffective?
Yu Ji's heart skipped a beat. She suddenly felt a little upset. She got up and walked out.
"Hey, where are you going?" Tang Hao asked quickly.
"Sleep!"
"Why are you sleeping? You've just been nourished. Stay here and dance for me. I can't fall asleep."
"Who wants to dance for you!"
"Where will you sleep then?"
"Anyway, there are so many empty rooms in this courtyard. I can just find one and go in."
"Alright …"
In the end, Yu Ji still left. Tang Hao laid on the bed alone, feeling a little lonely. Once he was lonely, he would feel sleepy, so he could only take out his phone and play a video for himself, forcing himself not to fall asleep.
At the same time, Yu Ji was standing in the courtyard, looking up at the starry sky in a daze.
Tang Hao was right, that bet did not have any forceful restrictions on her. Once Tang Hao left this era, she would naturally no longer need to be his assistant, and would be able to regain her freedom. Even now, she could go back on her word at any time, but on the other hand …
If Tang Hao really left this era, then at least for a long time in the future, she would not be able to be as free as she was now.
He was clearly not free, but he could feel free and unfettered. This sounded very contradictory, but to Yu Ji, this was the truth.
Before she met Tang Hao, she was free, but in the entire world, there was no place for her to stay. She was constantly rejected by humans, and could only wander around. After meeting Tang Hao, although her freedom was restricted because of a bet, she no longer had to hide her true nature, and no longer had to suffer the strange gazes of others. Even if she occasionally got angry, now that she thought about it, it wasn't that annoying of a thing.
He clearly hated humans so much, and hated sucking human blood even more. He was afraid that the dirty blood would taint him, but why did he still accept that willful request at that time?
It shouldn't just be for the sake of survival.
Perhaps, in his subconscious, he also wished that this period of freedom could last a little longer. That was why he had the urge to turn him into a long-lived species like himself. After all, a few decades was still too short.
However, she might not even be able to have this short period of time.
Just like the lyrics, this illusory freedom was only a side of the Epiphyllum in the end …
"Ahhhhhh..." So annoying! "
Yu Ji scratched her head. All sorts of complicated thoughts rose up in her mind, causing her to become annoyed.
In this kind of situation, it was impossible for her to fall asleep. After pacing around the courtyard for a few hours, she was still worried about Tang Hao's safety. By the time she regained her senses, she had already gently pushed open the bedroom door. Looking up, she saw Tang Hao lying on the bed with his head tilted, as if he had already fallen asleep.
"What? I clearly said that I couldn't sleep, but I still fell asleep."
Walking to the bedside, Yu Ji muttered softly. She bent down and gently covered Tang Hao with the blanket, and at the same time, took the phone from his hand. Then, she climbed onto the bed and sat with her legs bent on the other side of the bed. She placed the phone on her knees and extended two fingers, like a curious baby, she revealed an innocent expression and carefully tapped on it.
A while ago, Tang Hao saw that she was bored, so he lent her his phone to play with a few times. Under Tang Hao's hands-on guidance, she learned some simple operations, at least playing games wasn't too difficult.
After that, Yu Ji clicked on a Metal Slug and started playing with it with relish.
"Eh, this character is holding a gun, so it's the same as him?" "But it seems to be much more powerful …"
Before this, Yu Ji had only come into contact with simple games like Tetris. Now that she had switched to a game like Metal Slug, the difficulty of the game had increased exponentially. In the time it took for her to complain, her character immediately died, so she didn't dare to be distracted anymore.
"Aiya, I died again."
Just like an innocent little girl, every time she passed a checkpoint, she would giggle foolishly a few times, and when the game character unexpectedly fell, she would pout her lips and reveal a vexed expression. It was extremely cute.
Of course, not only had she never revealed such a little girl's demeanor in front of others, even when she was with Tang Hao, she tried her best to appear strong. It was only at this moment, when no one noticed, that she would unconsciously reveal such a pure side.
However …
Yu Ji didn't know that Tang Hao's video call had always been on. She thought that no one had noticed her, but in reality, her every move was exposed to the eyes of the people in the chat room.
The busybody Kaguya even tagged everyone in the group: Shocked! A beautiful rookie game streamer. Her true identity was actually Yu Ji. He had lost a hundred million if he did not watch!
Love Me the Most: Wow, it's true.
Shengren Hui: She's really cute. My relative has an eight-year-old child who also has the same expression when playing games. His eyes are wide open and he's very focused.
Assistant: Yes, I have a senior sister in university, Senior Zhen Fan. When she does something she's not good at, she will also show this expression. She's as cute as a primary school student.
Phoenix Court Fierce Truth: Why do I feel that your words are very rude to Senior Zhen Fan?
Sugar Young Man: Isn't it because she's beautiful that she's cute? If Yu Ji in front of the screen had a big pancake face, a face full of pockmarks, and a crooked mouth, would you still think that she's cute?
Under the Snow: I'm trying to imagine it … Can I ask for sanctions?
[Sugar Young Man has been muted by Her Royal Highness for 10 minutes]
Her Royal Highness: Although you're a roasting slave, there are some things that you can't say.
Her Royal Highness: But then again, Yu Ji is such a beautiful and cute girl. It's such a waste for her to be flirted with by Da Bendan. I've decided, I'm going to make him a cuckold!
Shengren Hui:...
Love Me the Most: Huh?
Her Royal Highness: Are you serious?
Her Royal Highness: Of course, beautiful women should belong to the strong!
Asuna: Wait, now is not the time to joke like this. Didn't you guys say not to let the president fall asleep? Now that he's asleep, should we wake him up?
I'm not happy: Am I imagining things? Why do I feel like Miss Asuna is very concerned about Da Bendan?
Asuna: I don't think so! It's just a normal concern between members of the group!
Seventeen Year Old Girl: Don't worry, his divine power is activated automatically. It has nothing to do with his subjective consciousness. It doesn't matter if he's asleep or not.
Asuna: Eh, but what you said before …
Seventeen Year Old Girl: Just to make him feel a little more nervous.
Seventeen Year Old Girl: Let's not talk about this. The three of us will be leaving for a while. As for the matters here … Xiaowu, you take care of them. If there's any emergency, contact us.
Xiaowu: Where are you guys going?
Seventeen Year Old Girl: Didn't I tell you before? In Arad, the three of us used the identities of the stupid Dan Kirito and Asuna, and we used the transformation spell to change into their appearances. In three hours, we would follow the main army of the empire and head toward the Sky Curtain Behemoth to deal with Apostle Lotters.
Xiaowu: With Rotters' weakened state, it should be easy for you guys to deal with him. Why are you so nervous?
Her Royal Highness: So, this is the thrill of playing the pig to eat the tiger.
Seventeen Year Old Girl: Besides, I have a bold idea that I'd like to try.
