You are already in a different world,
You will only return to reality in two days,
"Why?" Fox's Assistance did not understand at all.
Reiko lowered her eyes,
Her fingers gently moved the cherry blossom cake in the box,
"His body is still very weak,
He's not suitable for missions. "
"Just because of this? His body is weak only because he lacks spiritual power. As long as you sign a contract with him, his body will naturally recover to its peak. Even if he's injured, as long as you help him,
He'll recover very quickly! "
"No need." Reiko still insisted,
"That child probably doesn't want to go with me now!"
"Why?" Fox's Assistance did not understand,
He just saw the way the two of them protected each other,
They were clearly very harmonious,
What exactly...?!!!!
Suddenly, the fact that the Five Tigers Retreat had been waiting for Lord Sumino's return flashed through Fox's Assistance's mind. Even though he had already guessed it, he still confirmed it with Reiko again. "Master, haven't you told the Five Tigers Retreat that the former God's Inquisitor is dead and won't be coming back?"
He had shown her the information back then,
But it was precisely to make the Fu Mourning God, who still had some expectations, give up and quickly assimilate This Pill,
Who knew that she didn't say anything at all,
Then it was no wonder that the Five Tigers Retreat refused to sign a contract with her.
"There's no need for him to know about this... and..." she thought of something,
Reiko paused.
"And what?"
"Nothing!" Reiko raised her head and glanced at him, shouting in a low voice, "You're not allowed to say it either! Otherwise, see how I'll deal with...?!!!! "
Before Reiko could finish her threat, her expression suddenly changed, and she quickly got up and opened the paper door.
With a "Whoosh", in the corridor beside the room, the youth half-kneeling and leaning against the wall appeared in her line of sight.
The youth's face was pale, and his large golden eyes were bloodshot. He stared blankly ahead, and large drops of tears rolled down Yuanyuan's eyes as he cried silently.
"Little Retreat!!" Reiko's heart clenched and she rushed over. Just as she was about to help him up, her hands were slapped away. The Five Tigers Retreat looked up at her with misty eyes and said word by word, "Don't. Touch. Me!"
His voice was extremely cold, like an icicle under the eaves of a house in the depths of winter, cold and piercing. For a moment, Reiko's entire body turned cold, and she actually froze on the spot.
The manager of the Five Tigers Retreat tilted his head slightly and looked at the panicked Fox's Assistance who came out right after Reiko. Because his legs were weak, he could only stagger up by supporting himself against the wall. Then, he avoided Reiko's outstretched hand and staggered two steps toward Fox's Assistance. "Mr. Fox's Assistance, you're lying, aren't you? My Lord is only leaving temporarily. He will return! She didn't … she didn't … "
He couldn't say the word "die" no matter how hard he tried. The manager of the Five Tigers Retreat was already sobbing and fell to the ground again.
Knowing that he had gotten himself into trouble, Hu Zhihuo, who did not know how to explain himself, looked at him in so much pain that he wished he was dead. Then, he looked at Lingzi's incomparably worried expression beside him. Hu Zhihuo gritted his teeth and made up his mind. His foxy face revealed a serious expression as he said word by word, "I'm not lying. This is the truth. Lord Cheng Ye is dead. She died on the day she left Honwan and returned to the modern world.
"No! I don't believe it! You're lying to me! You're lying to me! "The manager of the Five Tigers Retreat roared in despair.
Sensing their master's emotional fluctuations, the little tigers ran from the end to his side and howled anxiously. However, the manager of the Five Tigers Retreat didn't respond to them. Instead, he stared at Fox's Assistance with tears in his eyes. "Explain yourself!"
The atmosphere instantly froze. Fox's Assistance opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to respond. He could reveal some things, but there were some things that he couldn't say … or rather, he absolutely couldn't say them out loud.
Therefore, another person in the room spoke up.
"Little Retreat, your Lord Sumino is indeed dead."
"No! I don't … "The manager of the Five Tigers Retreat turned his head abruptly and stared at Reiko, who had been treating him gently, as if he couldn't believe it. However, the determination and certainty in her amber eyes collided heavily with the protective shell that he erected.
His heart trembled. The Five Tigers Retreat lowered his head in panic. It was as if he was in the middle of winter, and his entire body was cold.
Reiko looked at how he was trying to escape. How could she not understand what was going on? What she had always guessed was confirmed at this moment.
Actually, she didn't care if the Five Tigers Retreat accepted her or not. However, she couldn't bear to see such a cute and kind child restrict himself so tightly.
He deserved to be loved. Whether it was her or Cheng Ye, they both thought so.
Therefore, even if the process was cruel, she still had to do it.
Hearing her footsteps getting closer and closer, the manager of the Five Tigers Retreat seemed to have sensed something. He hugged his trembling body and subconsciously shrank back.
Reiko knelt on one knee in front of him and called out softly, "Little Retreat …"
"No, don't come over …" The Five Tigers Retreat pleaded with a sobbing voice.
"Little Retreat, you know about this, right?"
"No … I don't know anything! Please, don't say anything else! "
"Lord Xia Mu?" Fox's Assistance seemed to have sensed that something was wrong.
Reiko knew that this was cruel, but since she had already started, she could only choose to continue.
"Little Retreat, you've been running away for long enough …" Reiko's warm palm gently rubbed his white hair. Then, she slid down and lifted his lowered head. Looking at the little face that was already covered in tears, she said the cruelest part.
"Your Lord Sumino is already dead … You knew about this a long time ago, didn't you?"
"W-what?!" Fox's Assistance's eyes instantly widened.
"I-I … don't … know … anything … Ugh … Wah …"
The illusion that he had created for himself for a long time was instantly exposed and shattered into pieces. His anger and grief gathered together and turned into a broken cry that resounded throughout This Pill.
"Little Retreat … You should accept reality."
…
The Five Tigers Retreat didn't know how he left that place. When he returned to his small room, he locked himself in and hugged his knees as he sat in the corner. Fox's Assistance and Reiko's words kept echoing in his mind.
"Lord Sumino is already dead."
"He was already dead on the day he returned to the modern world."
"You should have known about this a long time ago, right?"
"You should accept reality."
Tears flowed down along the dried tear stains again.
Yes, he actually knew that Lord Sumino was already dead. He had been lying to himself all this time.
Lord Sumino had been in charge of This Pill for a total of ten years. As the first knife of This Pill, he had always been very favored. Even the first knife couldn't compare to the first knife, Jia Zhou Palace. He was often by Lord Sumino's side as a personal attendant. So three years ago, when Lord Sumino's body had problems, he was the first to notice.
Because she had always been careless, they didn't notice when she fell on flat ground more often. Until he noticed that she seemed to be unable to control her limbs occasionally. Afraid that others would be worried, Lord Sumino told him not to tell the other Fu Mourning God and to return to the modern world to see a doctor as soon as possible.
That time, Lord Sumino came back from the modern world after almost a month. Then she told him that she was indeed sick, but had been cured by the doctor.
He was relieved. He never thought that Lord Sumino, who never lied, would lie to him. He didn't know how she did it. She didn't show any symptoms of being sick, but slowly, she stopped eating with them. She used the excuse of having family matters in the modern world to return home more and more often. The time she spent in This Pill became shorter and shorter. In the last year, she came back almost once a week. Every time she came, she would hurriedly arrange things and then leave.
Because they never thought that she would lie, everyone felt guilty and blamed themselves for not being able to help her share the burden in the modern world. However, they didn't realize that she was sick, very seriously sick.
Until the day she left This Pill forever. That night, his little tiger seemed to have felt something and secretly ran out. When he went out to look for it, he happened to see her leaving under the cover of the night.
He realized that something was wrong and ran over to ask. In the end, he was knocked unconscious by her spiritual power. However, probably because she was already at the end of her rope, she didn't use much strength, so he quickly regained consciousness … In a daze, he felt her warm hand caressing his head again and again. He heard her crying and apologizing, saying that she was sick and was about to die, so she couldn't stay any longer.
He wanted to wake up, but he couldn't open his eyes. When he woke up again, she had already left.
Everyone thought that she just went home. Because she was in a hurry, she couldn't say goodbye. He also hoped that was the case, but his hope was shattered the next day. Fox's Assistance came over to tell them that Lord Sumino had resigned from his job as the God's Inquisitor. The Government of the Hour would find a new God's Inquisitor as soon as possible.
Everyone was shocked. They didn't understand why the girl who smiled at them yesterday suddenly left. When they asked Fox's Assistance, Fox's Assistance only said that it was because of Lord Sumino's personal reasons.
There were many times when he wanted to tell everyone what he heard that night, but when he saw that his brothers were still confident that she was just delayed by something and would come back sooner or later, he didn't dare to say it. He didn't dare to say that she was going to die soon, or that she might have already died.
Later, Fox's Assistance said that the new God's Inquisitor who would take over This Pill never came, and My Lord didn't come back either. His companions and the various Highnesses couldn't maintain their human forms because of the exhaustion of their spiritual power. They gradually fell into a deep sleep.
Unknowingly, only he and his little tiger were left. He knew that before Lord Sumino left, he had instilled all his remaining spiritual power into him. That was why he could last until the end.
But how could a person persevere without hope? So he kept lying to himself. What he heard that night was a dream. My Lord couldn't take care of This Pill because of things in the Modern World. Once she was done, she would definitely come back …
But the lie he weaved was like a bubble. With a "pop" sound, she fiercely burst it.
Her cold voice was filled with deep worry. Five Tigers Retreat was stunned. The first thing that came to his mind was that this was the first time she called his name, and … so intimately.
"Little Retreat?"
Seeing that he was in a daze, Reiko anxiously called him again. Five Tigers Retreat looked up in a panic. Her amber eyes were filled with worry and lingering fear. The little tiger was lying obediently on her shoulder. When it saw him look up, it also anxiously howled.
"Cough, I'm fine." Five Tigers Retreat hurriedly replied, but his hoarse voice was not convincing at all.
Not to mention, when he looked up, the hideous strangulation marks on his fair neck became even more obvious. His eyes were bloodshot, his nose was red, and there were also tears hanging on his long eyelashes. This miserable appearance made Reiko's heart clench. Like a mother beast who saw her little animal being hurt, the flames in her heart burned fiercely and wanted to find an exit. She instantly attacked the God's Inquisitor who had fallen to the side.
Damn it, the little cutie that she had painstakingly raised was actually being tortured like this! She really wanted to kill the other party!
Reiko's face darkened as she helped Five Tigers Retreat to lean against the wall. She also stuffed the little tiger into his arms. Then, she turned around and kicked the God's Inquisitor who had been knocked unconscious by her wooden stick.
"Bastard!"
He must be tired of living! How dare he bully my child! How dare he give away ten thousand alpacas for free!
She completely did not expect that this bastard lunatic would actually strangle Five Tigers Retreat to death while she was buying a burlap bag. She was about to go crazy! She was angry at him and also angry at herself. She clearly knew that this person was crazy. Why did she run to the convenience store next door to buy a burlap bag instead of keeping an eye on him?
Going back to the past, she went to the fruit shop she saw earlier to buy pastries for Five Tigers Retreat after she had insulted the God's Inquisitor. After choosing for a long time, she came out after paying the bill and saw him sneakily asking passersby about the Five Tigers Retreat's whereabouts.
