Akaji, who came to visit at the agreed time,
Of course, he didn't see the person he wanted to see.
"I'm sorry,
Akaji Jun,
Because we have some important matters to attend to today... "The receptionist's forehead was full of sweat,
The apologetic smile on his face couldn't hide his guilty expression.
"It's okay. Then I'll come visit another day."
Akaji nodded,
He stood up from his seat,
"I was too impatient,
I rushed over as soon as I got the reply. "
It was only natural,
If she didn't want to, with her indefensible teleportation ability,
Hiding anywhere would be an easy task,
How could he find her,
Where could he lock her up? Staying quietly in prison was just a choice, but now she suddenly chose to escape,
It was also because the situation had changed.
But she... was she that unwilling to see him.
After leaving the building of Section 4, the red-haired youth stood in front of the building in silence for a long time.
"Young Master,
Are we going back now? "The young steward beside him couldn't help but ask after waiting for too long.
"... Yes." He nodded,
Then, he got into the car.
If that person didn't want to see him, no matter how hard he searched, he wouldn't be able to find her,
This was something that happened after the girl left without saying goodbye a few years ago,
Akaji clearly understood,
Rather than saying that she left without saying goodbye, it was as if she suddenly disappeared from this world without leaving a trace.
He didn't expect that today, a few years later, she would disappear in front of him again. Nothing had changed.
He still couldn't catch her no matter how hard he tried. He was just as frustrated as before.
The youth's breathing was unstable. A red light flashed in his reddish-orange left eye from time to time. He was silent for a long time before he gradually calmed down.

It wasn't until the taillights of the car disappeared that Su Yu pulled the young Gilgamesh out of the hiding place.
"I'm warning you, woman." Gilgamesh's white and tender face was filled with gloom, "If you make this king accompany you to do this kind of senseless thing again, this king will definitely make you pay with your life."
"Just this once. Thank you, Gilgamesh." Holding his hand, Su Yu comforted him in a relaxed tone, but her eyes were still looking in the direction of the young man's car.
Although it was said that the boy had been burned in the new city that night and could not participate in the sports festival, half a month had passed and he had obviously recovered well. There were no signs of injury.
When he heard the receptionist's words, he revealed such an expression. He probably already guessed that she had escaped again.
Su Yu couldn't explain it, but when she thought of the young man's gaze, she felt an inexplicable sense of suffocation in her heart. She stood where she was and took a few deep breaths before she finally expelled that strange feeling.
"Let's go, Hero King." She revealed a relaxed smile and turned to look at the blond boy beside her. "Do you need me to carry you?"
"You bastard, you don't really think of Wang as a child, do you?" The child narrowed her eyes and looked at her with a half-smile. Her crystal red eyes were full of undisguised innocence and malice. "Of course, if it's another kind of intimacy, Wang won't refuse."
"What kind of meaning?" Su Yu asked casually. "Compared to this, my great and wise ancient king, the only true king in the world, can you now open a small hole in the King's Treasury?"
Su Yu felt that for the sake of the gold and wine in Gilgamesh's treasury, she would have no problem bragging to the child every day.
— —
In return for providing funds, Su Yu helped Gilgamesh with all the identity records in the modern world. For her, it was just a matter of recording information in the world, which was not particularly troublesome.
Gilgamesh, on the other hand, provided her with real gold. Once she started this, the self-proclaimed generous king would never be stingy when Su Yu needed money in the future. As long as she could come up with something new to brag about, everything would be fine.
After contacting Phyllostachys Amoena, Su Yu bought the shop next to their small bar. After a simple renovation, she opened her own low-end grocery store.
There was no other reason. Her little lifespan left really made her feel a sense of crisis. Plus, part of her ability was still to make items with her lifespan. The worry about the future almost made her return to the state of desperately promoting products.
Fortunately, Su Yu had some experience in this field. She picked and chose some disposable products that weren't very effective and placed a price on the internet.
Because she had experimented with Saiki, her transactions could indeed be opened to the natives of these worlds, so Su Yu boldly advertised.
For the first two days, Gilgamesh stayed in the shop to see what she was doing. Later, when he found out that she was just chatting with people online, he felt very bored and went out to find some fun.
Although Gilgamesh now looked like a child, Su Yu was not worried at all. After all, under that innocent shell hid a truly innocent soul. If there was really a bad guy who had his eyes on the current Gilgamesh, it was probably the bad guy who deserved more sympathy.
After finalizing another transaction, Su Yu could not help but lean back on the chair and sigh. "Sigh, people nowadays, are they really that short of money?"
That's right, on the surface, the things she sold online were all Gilgamesh's gold bars. But in private, what she sold as a product was actually the 'good luck biscuits' as a gift. When those people realized the use of the 'good luck biscuits', she would have her first batch of real customers.
A strange roar of a motorcycle came from outside the shop. Rather than the sound of an engine, it was actually more like the neighing of a horse. Su Yu stood up and walked out with a package. She smiled and said, "Miss Celty is really punctual. Here, today's package. The address is written on it."
The woman with the cat ear helmet nodded and took out a mobile phone from her collar. Her five fingers tapped nimbly on the screen.
"I also want to thank Miss Su Yu for taking care of my work. Then, without further ado, I'll be on my way ^ _ ^"
"Okay, good luck to you too." Su Yu said with a smile. "Also, just like last time, don't touch the things in the package before it's delivered."
She had set a mental tracking contract on the biscuits. If someone else triggered the transaction first and the other party did not agree to the transaction, her biscuits would really be given away for free.
"Understood."
After a simple and efficient reply, Celty placed the package into the trunk of her motorcycle. Then, she twisted the throttle and left Su Yu's shop with the neighing of a war horse.
At this moment, the blonde boy came back from outside. He looked at the huge black motorcycle that was leaving behind a cloud of dust. His childish face revealed a thoughtful expression.
"Hey, Su Yu, get Wang a ride like that just now."
Su Yu was checking the name list in her notebook one by one. When she heard his words, she replied perfunctorily, "The great Hero King won't be troubled by such a small matter. Go buy it yourself. You have a lot of gold bars in your hands. I think you can just use pure gold to make one."
She was too lazy to guess how much gold was in the Oldest King's treasure vault. Seeing how he used gold like a weapon, Su Yu felt that it was impossible for her to squeeze him dry.
"Why would Wang want such a vulgar thing?" Gilgamesh snorted disdainfully. "I'll give you the honor of creating an unparalleled ride for Wang."
As soon as he said that, Su Yu stopped writing in her notebook. She turned to look at the arrogant boy and suddenly revealed a bright smile. "Alright, my king. What kind of ride do you want? Pure gold? Streamlined or structured? What speed do you think is suitable …"
While she was discussing these trivial details with the young Hero King, Su Yu had an awkward thought.
This guy, could it be that he saw my anxiety about my lifespan and is trying to help me?
Is the Hero King such a considerate existence?

Phyllostachys Amoena stepped into the store one evening under the setting sun.
"Although I was mentally prepared when I heard about it, it still surprised me, Su Yu." He put his hands in his pockets, looked around the shelves, and said in his unique drawn-out voice, "I thought the culprit of the disaster in the new city would open a more terrifying store, such as nuclear weapons or something interesting."
"I do have nuclear weapons, but I won't sell them, Phyllostachys Amoena." Su Yu lay on the chair behind the counter, holding an apple in one hand and browsing the web with the other.
"What are you looking at?" Seeing her excited look, Phyllostachys Amoena walked around the counter and sat on the chair next to her.
The chair was a little short compared to the one she was sitting on. It was obviously prepared for the blond, red-eyed child next to her, but Phyllostachys Amoena had never seen the child sit on the chair. One day, he even saw a similar chair outside the store that had been chopped into pieces. But the next day, Su Yu made another one as if nothing had happened.
The girl didn't care about his approach at all. She generously showed him the screen of her phone. "Nothing, I just saw some people bragging on the Internet and felt very happy."
After she escaped from Scepter4 with Gilgamesh, she officially became the two fugitive suspects. Because there was no final conviction during the prison break, Scepter4 still kept their personal privacy and did not release their wanted photos.
But this news made the editors of the tabloid newspapers overjoyed. They grabbed a high-definition profile photo of Su Yu and wantonly promoted her as a 'crazy beauty'. The comments below were even more hilarious.
"This is the first time I realized that I'm such an evil and wild person." There was a smile in her voice as she pointed to one of the comments. Her light cherry-colored lips were pursed into a line as she tried to restrain herself from laughing out loud.
"Only you can laugh like this," Phyllostachys Amoena said disdainfully. "You should have seen the heroes who rushed to the new city area that day. Those useless faces … Hahaha."
The teenager's voice sounded a little hoarse. Su Yu's figure flashed in her original position. When she returned, she was already holding an unopened bottle of mineral water.
"Since your throat is dry, don't lower your voice when you speak." The young girl pretended to be nonchalant as she spoke. Then, she returned to her original position and continued to read the comments, overjoyed.
Phyllostachys Amoena held the mineral water bottle in his hand with two fingers. He looked at her quietly for a while before he opened the bottle.
He tilted his head back and gulped down a few mouthfuls. He threw away the half-empty bottle in his hand and sat up.
"Teacher sent me a message. In a while, it will be Xiong Ying's Forest Dormitory," he said with a blank expression. "We have an event. Su Yu, do you want to come?"
"What event?" Su Yu asked casually. "It can't be about having fun with them, right?"
She would never believe that the sociopathic Phyllostachys Amoena would plan such an event.
"No," he said with a strange smile. "We're just going to play a little game with them."
"What game?" Su Yu put down the leftover fruit in her hand and looked up at him. "Let me say this first. I don't like to kill people, and I won't kill people."
"Don't worry, you don't have to kill people," Phyllostachys Amoena lowered his voice. There was a hint of malice in his voice. "You took thousands of lives with a wave of your hand. How dare you say something so serious …"
The rest of his words disappeared under Su Yu's cold glare.
The man didn't seem to care about the girl's serious face. However, he still changed the topic under her stare. "I'm telling the truth … It's just a friendly little game. Invite the kid from the Sports Festival No. 1 to play …"
Sports Festival No. 1?
Su Yu had an impression of it. After she escaped from prison, she looked for that video. The boy who won first place was tied up on the podium. He bit on the medal like a ferocious wolf dog. It looked like he would pounce on someone at any moment.
Compared to the people around him who were shouting for peace and justice, his ferocious look was very unique.
"Why did you tie him up?" Su Yu curled her lips in confusion. "He looks like someone who can't be communicated with. Don't waste your energy."
"Haha … Don't you understand? We're not the only ones who feel oppressed in this unreasonable society."
Phyllostachys Amoena grinned. Su Yu wrinkled her nose and searched for that person's photo on the web. "Is that so? I can't tell … Wait, when did we become partners? I'm just running a shop next door."
This place was remote and secretive. It wasn't expensive either. It was surrounded by empty houses that had been demolished or moved away. Even someone like Phyllostachys Amoena who had 'I'm a bad guy' written all over his body could live here. For the wanted Su Yu, it was even safer.
"Haha, what do I have to do to make you agree? It's not something you can't accept." Phyllostachys Amoena leaned on the bar counter. The smile on his face gradually became strange. "Ah, ah, I know. You're running a shop right? Why don't we make a deal? You'll take my place in this operation."
"You're not going?" Su Yu asked curiously when he heard the sudden request.
The man chuckled a few more times before saying, "I'm not going. The rules of the game have changed. The ones from before were just RPGs. They're outdated. The next one should be a strategic deployment game. I'm the player. Hehehe …"
"So, you want me to be your pawn?" Su Yu put down her phone and straightened her back. She narrowed her eyes and looked at the man in front of her. "If you want to order me around, you'll have to pay a high price."
The last two guys who acted as her master didn't end up well.
"Whatever you want." Phyllostachys Amoena sensed the hidden meaning in Lin Sanjiu's words. He put his hand on the counter and said, "You can have as much lifespan as you want."
Even if his lifespan wasn't enough, there were plenty of people who were willing to contribute.
"… Five years then." Su Yu thought for a while and agreed. "Five years of lifespan to help you. That's a good deal."
In the past, she would never agree to such an unfair deal. She might even consider helping him for free because of his sincere attitude.
