Chapter 23 Shuise: You are right, I won’t worry about it anymore.
Bai Ye looked at the students of Solomon Academy who were full of fighting spirit and hissed, "If I remember correctly, the prompt of the DM system seems to tell us that this demon's domain is an escape game?"
Shuise took out the liquid violin and started to play the strings, smiling ostentatiously: "Who cares about them?"
Although the voice was anxious and impatient, Bai Ye still did not miss it. The range of the nocturne music played by Shui Se perfectly covered the feet of all the students on the battlefield.
Especially around Youyu and Linglan, there were the most flowing notes, almost burying them in them.
You Yu threw away a musical note that had hit his face, and shouted to Shuise from a distance with his hands in the shape of trumpets: "Enough, enough! Too many, too many! Shuise, take a few!"
However, Shuise was too lazy to pay attention to him and played the violin piece again as if to get revenge. Looking at the direction of Shuise's notes in the air, it was exactly where Youyu was, without any error.
Bai Ye: ...You really don’t care when you say you don’t care? Not only the devil doesn’t care, the medium token doesn’t care, and even the teammates don’t care either?
As expected of the righteous and evil nobleman Shuise, he treats everyone equally.
Although Bai Ye knew a lot about the Squid Detective Agency's way of getting along through the live broadcast in the Garden of Eden, due to the danger of the Devil's Game and the severity of the situation, the Squid Detective Agency in the live broadcast mostly appeared to be quite reliable and serious, and they could stand on their own. He had never felt so closely... how this team really got along in private.
Yang Yan seemed to be a substitute for the other pre-law enforcers who were seeing this kind of scene for the first time, and asked the question that most of the pre-law enforcers were wondering: "Are you really not enemies, but members of a neutral player organization who trust each other enough to share tag skills?"
Shuise was in a bad mood, but he still explained politely because of his young master's reserve: "If you were on the road every day looking for the captain who suddenly disappeared and no one knew where he went, you would collapse like me."
"Well……"
Yang Yan thought about it. Although You Yu, the savior who just came from the sky, was very handsome, if the subordinates of Boss Feicui were all people like him who disobeyed orders and easily went astray, then Boss Feicui would be a bit too miserable.
Yangyan's eyes turned sympathetic when he looked at Shuise. [Wings of Victory] at least had the backup of Boss Emerald, but [Squid Detective Agency]'s captain was just like that.
Yang Yan took a deep look at Feicui who was floating in the air organizing the reserve law enforcers, and thought: It’s good to have a reliable captain.
"Stop chatting, they're coming!"
Lily of the Valley shouted in the distance. She and Youyu Feicui stood at the forefront of the group of fire beasts. The tangled and overlapping ghost orchid vines quickly uprooted and grew, burning in the flames while weaving a towering defensive vine net.
"Okay, okay! Let's go!" Although it was the enemy coming head-on, You Yu seemed to be in a good mood. He jumped and shuttled among the running fire beasts. It was obvious that he was just walking casually without deliberately dodging, but the fire beasts rushing towards him either crashed into the hard incombustible objects, or were blown away by the strange strong wind.
Shuise put the bow on the strings, a little speechless: "Sure enough... No matter how many times I see it, I still can't accept that someone can be so lucky, like the darling of the world."
Bai Ye raised his eyes to look at him. The blue-haired boy spoke in a very relaxed and natural manner, as if it was a casual joke. If it wasn't so natural, he would have mistakenly believed that the other party also knew the secret about the nature of the world.
Hey, guess what, there is nothing wrong with what he said, You Yu is indeed the protagonist of the game "Wicked City", the center of this world. If there is a world consciousness, then he must be the darling of the world consciousness.
"Yeah, I'm so lucky." Bai Ye sighed, silently moved his feet, and put himself behind Shuise and Yangyan. After all, he was no longer the omnipotent "Starry Night Magician" now, but an ordinary purification player who was powerless.
In the sea of fire, the soul particles of countless people combined together, shining like rainbows, more colorful than the light show of the Neon Heart Building. They abruptly stopped the trend of the sea of fire, and prevented any fire beast from breaking out of the demon realm and reaching the superimposed surface world.
After all, not all the people in Solomon Academy are label holders. Most of them are just ordinary relatives of the law enforcers, who need to be protected as much as possible by the players in the game.
but……
"Is it really okay to continue like this? The power of the demon god comes from the other world and is almost endless. We can't hold on for much longer, right?"
Bai Ye tentatively used his own tag particles to block the sea of fire within a certain range, but he found that his [Black Sun Righteous Man's Unmoving Heart] could only affect an area within a few meters in radius, and had no effect on the hellfire beyond the range.
In other words, he cannot directly affect the soul tag skills and demonic powers near or acting on other people without using himself as a medium.
Faced with the large-scale hellfire and the group of fire beasts and demon servants created by the demon Amy, [The Indifference of the Black Sun Righteous] is of no use for the time being.
Although the students present cooperated to a certain extent, the Devil Apostle's goal was the secret of the Sun Law Enforcement Bureau, information related to the Ten Commandments Token, and they would definitely not allow the situation to remain deadlocked.
"No..." Bai Ye suddenly realized something. He raised his head and saw the black-robed skeleton standing high on the top floor of the half-collapsed teaching building. He raised his hand and gently stroked the huge beast head made of flames behind him.
The wind that was scorched by the scorching fire waves blew through the boy's hair, and the inky black hair flew in the air. Bai Ye's cobalt blue eyes seemed to resonate with the stars in the sky. In his pupils, space and distance seemed to become a blink of an eye. The huge beast that almost filled the entire top floor of the teaching building stretched out its body. It was a demon form very similar to humans, with stretched limbs and a surrounding halo of flames, but its head was in the form of burning and flickering flames.
"No! That's not Amy's projection - it's the devil's real body -!"
Bai Ye suddenly pulled Mizuise and Yangyan over. He didn't have much strength, and it took almost all of his strength to pull the two experienced high school players away from their original positions. His arms felt unbearable muscle-tearing pain, but Bai Ye had no time to care about the pain.
A humanoid demon floated high in the sky, the blood-red spider web barrier looked like its palace. It turned its head and just glanced in the direction of Shuise and Yangyan, and the flames instantly grew wildly.
"Bang--!"
The roar of the explosion came from the direction of the teaching building, accompanied by several small-scale explosions. The twisted black and red flames covered the sky and directly swallowed everything in sight.
The running tide of four-legged beasts roared past with an overwhelming force of annihilation. Bai Ye pressed Shuise and Yangyan tightly to his side. Before the black sun rose, dots of blue starlight began to shine brightly, like the dreamlike and breathtaking fluorescent waves under the moonlight.
Genter and cooler than the water-colored label particles, the halo-like black-blue ring of light enveloped the area where the three of them were, forming an absolutely safe and stable zone even under the several-meter-high hellfire waves, protecting the three of them firmly in place.
"How is it possible..."
Yang Yan watched helplessly as the beast-shaped demon projection turned into a real physical demon body. The demon's pressure came over a hundred meters, carrying with it an unquestionable desire for destruction and murderous intent.
He stretched out his hand, trying to support himself to stand up, but felt a flowing liquid on his hand.
What comes with it is the terrifying smell of blood.
Yang Yan quickly turned his head and saw Bai Ye, who was pale but calm, and only through his frowned brows could he see a bit of the fragility of Bai Ye who was trying hard to hold on, and Shuise, who was extremely panicked and was trying to stop the bleeding with his crystal ball with ice properties.
Perhaps because he was too anxious just now, Bai Ye's arm was scratched by the messy gravel on the surface, leaving a horrifyingly long wound.
"...Bai Ye?! Bai Ye? Are you okay?"
Yang Yan looked like he was about to cry. He threw himself to Bai Ye with a "wow". His crystal-clear red eyes were already sparkling with tears. He began to frantically search the pockets of his school uniform: "Stop the bleeding, stop the bleeding! I remember I brought a bandage -! Here!"
Shuise pursed his lips tightly. Ever since Bai Ye had desperately rescued the two of them from the hands of the Demon God Amy who had recovered her original form, he had always had an expression so serious that people dared not speak.
Shuise took the bandage handed over by Yangyan and began to carefully clean Bai Ye's wound that was bleeding continuously. If this was the world where the devil himself had descended, then it meant that this was no longer the other world simulated by the barrier, but a real other world like the demon game where the devil-level demons appeared.
Then the protection effect of the barrier will not take effect, which means that if you get hurt here, you will be really hurt.
"...You've been pretending to be indifferent before, why don't you pretend now?"
Mizuki was very quick, and when Byakuya and Yangyan thought that he wouldn't speak again until his wound was treated, he suddenly asked.
Shuise is not a dull person. In fact, because he has been following his musician master to attend various social occasions since he was a child, his perception of everyone's emotions is no less than Youyu's. It's just that he can't reach the magical level of mind reading.
But he could still clearly feel that when Bai Ye first came to Solomon Academy, he refused to have friendly relations with anyone.
All these water colors are known.
Even though You Yu was so able to easily get close to other people's inner world, Bai Ye was still on guard. He still refused, especially those from the Squid Detective Agency.
But Shuise didn't know that Bai Ye rejected them simply because of the incompatibility of their professions. After all, how could a thief become friends with a detective?
What Shuise is confused about now is: Why did Bai Ye give up his self-defense now?
He is a juvenile delinquent who is being watched by everyone, but his heart is unusually soft... The previous thief Wonder was the same. He was a heinous criminal, but he was not allowed to become a lonely soul in the devil's game.
Bai Ye was slightly startled. He knew Shuise's dilemma, so he shook his head: "Originally, I was afraid of causing trouble to others, so I always wanted to disguise myself as a complete villain and make everyone hate me. But now I understand why?"
Bai Ye smiled and said, "Besides, the president saved my life."
Since someone cares about me so much, why should I continue to be the "hated person"?
The black-haired boy's words were meaningful. Shuise pursed his lips tightly. He stared at Bai Ye in front of him, trying to see any flaws in his eyes, but those cobalt blue eyes were as clear as ever, without any hesitation.
Is there really a hidden story? That terrible incident in Wheatfield Town?
"Whether you are confused or don't understand, nothing else matters. What matters is that we are companions for the time being, aren't we?"
Bai Ye stretched out his hand to Shuise. He blinked, and the fragments of light in his eyes looked like stars: "Aren't you going to help me up?"
Shuise lowered his head, his light blue hair hiding his expression, but he soon figured something out, and his gloomy look relaxed, with even a long-lost smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
It turned out that Youyu had never misjudged someone. Bai Ye, who let down his guard, was even more terrifying than Youyu. He easily relieved his recent conflicting emotions.
The black-haired boy tilted his head slightly with a gentle smile on his lips. The bloodstains on his outstretched arms were constantly spreading, but he didn't care.
Obviously... obviously I am the one who is hurt, but I come here to comfort him... I feel like I won't be able to sleep tonight because of the worry.
"You're right, I get it. After all... we judge a person by his deeds rather than his heart. Seeing is believing. Whether it's you or that bastard Phantom Thief, you did what you did. The fact that he and you saved me cannot be changed, and the guilt of the past cannot be changed... I just need to act according to my heart."
The aqua-colored silver eyes were firm and determined: "You are right, I won't dwell on it anymore."
