You are already in another world and will only return to reality in two days.
"What? You want to go alone?! "Fox's Assistance's expression changed drastically. He stared at Reiko in disbelief.
He had been in office for more than ten years. He had held countless positions for This Pill and had seen many Divine Inquisitors.
Not to mention those Divine Inquisitors who brought a circle of Fu Mourning God with them, those who did not like to cause trouble for others would at least bring one along. Unlike Lord Xia Mu,
It was his first time doing a mission.
He was going to a world that was quite dangerous.
He actually did not want to bring a single one.
"Yes. Is there a rule that requires me to bring a Fu Mourning God? Can't I go alone? "
"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. It's not suitable for him to go on 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.
His body will naturally recover to its peak. Even if he is injured, as long as you put your hands on him, he will 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 had just seen the two of them protecting each other.
They were clearly very harmonious.
What exactly...?!!!!
Suddenly.
The fact that the Five Tigers Retreat had been waiting for the return of Lord Sumino flashed through Fox's Assistance's mind.
Even though he had guessed it, he still confirmed it with Reiko. "Master, haven't you told the Five Tigers Retreat that the former Divine Inquisitor is dead and will never return?"
When he first showed her the information, it was because he wanted to use her to make the Death Gods Fu, who still had some expectations, give up and quickly integrate into the Pill. Who knew that she didn't say anything at all, so it was no wonder that the Five Tigers Retreated and refused to sign a contract with her.
"He doesn't need to know about this... and..." Reiko paused as she thought of something.
"And what?"
"Nothing!" Reiko raised her head and glanced at him. "You're not allowed to say anything either! Otherwise, see how I'm going to deal with you …?!!!! "
Before Reiko could finish her threat, her expression suddenly changed. She quickly got up and opened the door.
With a "hua" sound, the young man who was half-kneeling and leaning against the wall in the corridor next to the room appeared in his sight.
Yuanyuan's face was pale, and his large golden eyes were bloodshot. He stared blankly in front of him, and large drops of tears rolled down from his 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 felt cold all over and froze on the spot.
The Five Tigers Retreat turned their heads slightly and looked at Fox's Assistance, who had come 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. She will return! She didn't... She didn't... "
He couldn't bring himself to say the word "die" no matter how hard he tried. The Five Tigers Retreat was already sobbing and fell to the ground again.
Fox's Assistance knew that he had caused trouble, but he didn't know how to explain himself. He looked at his pained expression and then looked at Reiko's extremely worried expression. He gritted his teeth and decided to put on a serious expression. He said word by word, "I'm not lying. This is the truth. Lord Sumino is dead. She died the day she left This Pill and returned to the modern world."
"No! I don't believe it! You're lying to me! You're lying to me! "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 Five Tigers Retreat didn't respond to them. Instead, they stared at Fox's Assistance with tears in their 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 Five Tigers Retreat turned around abruptly and stared at Reiko, who had been treating him gently, in disbelief. 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 their heads in panic. It was as if they were in the middle of winter, and their 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.
In fact, 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 had to do it.
Hearing her approaching footsteps, the Five Tigers Retreat seemed to have sensed something. The Five Tigers Retreat hugged their trembling bodies and subconsciously shrank back.
Reiko knelt on one knee in front of them and called out softly, "Little Retreat …"
"No, don't come over …" The Five Tigers Retreat pleaded with a sobbing voice.
"You know about the Little Retreat, 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 palms 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. Anger and grief gathered together and turned into a broken cry that resounded throughout This Pill.
"Little Retreat … It's time for you to 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 died on the day he returned to the modern world."
"You should have known about this a long time ago, right?"
"It's time for you to 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 even when the frequency of her falling on flat ground increased. It wasn't 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 returned from the modern world after almost a month. She then 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. A very serious illness.
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 and didn't say goodbye because she was in a hurry. He also hoped that was the case. However, 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 to take over This Pill.
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 open his mouth and tell everyone what he heard that night. However, when he saw that his brothers were still confident that she was only 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 about to die 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 his remaining spiritual power into him. That was why he could hold on until the end.
However, how could a person hold on without hope? Therefore, he kept lying to himself. What he heard that night was a dream. My Lord was only unable to take care of This Pill because of the Modern World. Once she was done, she would definitely come back …
However, the lie he weaved was like a bubble. With a "pop", she fiercely burst it.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
Reiko was holding a little tiger in her hands. She secretly heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that the Five Tigers Retreat had a rosy complexion after a good night's sleep.
Yesterday, he fainted just like that and gave her a big fright. After confirming that he was really just asleep, she was still worried. She guarded him until very late at night before resting.
Fortunately, gods and humans were indeed not the same. In just one night, he had recovered a lot. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that his white hair looked even more lustrous than yesterday …
Ling, who didn't know that his spiritual power was the source, thought: As expected, children should eat properly!
The five little tigers were also recovering well. After the Five Tigers Retreat fainted again because of her harsh words last night, she forced them to eat the porridge and boiled water for them to wash up. After a night of rest, although they were still a little thin and weak, one could tell how energetic they were from the way they flopped around on the Five Tigers Retreat.
