Su Bai glanced calmly at the two of them, then stepped into the void and left the place.
After he left, a notice board formed from the power of the world was posted on the door of his guardhouse.
[Everyone may leave at their own discretion, but those who do not return will be removed from the Chang'an Squad and will leave behind the Chang'an Token. Those who return must prepare for a fight to the death!]
Yang Tian and Qiu Lanruo stared at the notice board in silence for a long time.
They had assumed that Su Bai, like Li Chengfeng, had given up on guarding the town, but they never expected that Su Bai would make such a decision.
"Can you win?"
Yang Tian looked dejected. He couldn't understand why there was any point in fighting a battle whose outcome was already predetermined.
"If we can't win, does that mean we shouldn't fight?"
"Are we just left to wait for death, like fish on a chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered?"
Qiu Lanruo spoke coldly, looking in the direction Su Bai had left, and silently clasped his hands in a fist.
"Even if we can't win, at least we must let these foreign races understand that even if they are strong, even if they are invincible, our human race will never give up easily!"
"Captain Yang, I've made up my mind. Even if it means death, I want to die alongside Su Bai on this city wall of Chang'an!"
"After all, I am a demon slayer, and also a member of the Chang'an Squad!"
That's all.
Qiu Lanruo stepped into the void and departed.
Yang Tian looked up and glanced at his figure. Then he remembered the thin figure from before. His expression was complicated and he was filled with emotion.
Yes, he could give up at will, and everyone on the walls of Chang'an could give up at will, but Su Bai didn't even have a reason to give up.
Because he knew that if even he gave up, then humanity would truly be without hope.
"Heh, Yang Tian, when did you become such a coward?"
"They're just a few ugly foreign creatures, why are they so scared that they don't even have the courage to fight back?"
"You're supposed to be a demon slayer, yet you're so afraid of death. You've completely disgraced the demon slayer profession!"
Stay where you are.
Yang Tian chuckled to himself a few times, then stepped into the void, leaving the place behind.
...
night.
The human territory was brightly lit, a scene of...peace and harmony.
Su Bai walked along the streets of Daqian City, and everywhere he looked, there was a bustling scene.
Perhaps it is because they know they will die that everyone chooses to indulge themselves when they are on the verge of death.
Even the once desolate amusement park chose to open at this time, and the roar of roller coasters and the screams of people came from it like a tide, endless.
When Su Bai arrived here, he couldn't help but stop.
He looked at the Ferris wheel flashing neon lights and felt a tremor in his heart.
He remembered that there was a girl who always wanted to ride a moving Ferris wheel with him, but he still hadn't been able to fulfill her wish.
She also seemed to say that she wanted to eat with him, drink juice with him, and set off fireworks with him.
"Three days is enough."
"White, wh, what, enough?"
Hu Meihong's voice echoed throughout the world. Su Bai said nothing and stepped into the void to leave.
When he reappeared, he had returned to the little house, which was exactly the same as before, as if nothing had changed.
He cleaned the house and then went to Chengtian University, where he met the little girl who was practicing swordsmanship diligently.
This time, he did not choose to leave, but instead went into the chain repair room.
As if she knew he was coming, the little girl in front of her showed no surprise. She simply dropped the sword in her hand and happily rushed into his arms.
"Brother Su Bai!"
"I am here."
“Brother Su Bai, many people have come back. I knew that Brother Su Bai would definitely come back to find me.”
Su Bai gently rubbed her little head, a doting smile appearing on his face.
"Xiao Zhi, you're great."
"Hehe, Brother Su Bai is so smart, he must know that Xiao Zhi is the first in the kendo class."
As they were talking.
Xiao Zhi raised her head and looked at Su Bai with a pained expression.
"Brother Su Bai, will you... promise Xiao Zhi something?"
"Um."
"Don't work so hard in the future. Eat well, sleep well, and don't worry about Xiaozhi. Xiaozhi is great!"
"And... Brother Su Bai, you need to eat more meat. You promised Xiao Zhi you wouldn't lose weight, but you've actually gotten thinner than before..."
"Also, if Brother Su Bai can't defeat these monsters, then he shouldn't fight them. He must protect himself and not get hurt..."
"besides……"
Xiao Zhi recounted each item as if it were a treasure trove, and soon a string of crystal-clear tears appeared on her cheeks.
Su Bai didn't say anything, but squatted down, wiped away the tears on her face, pinched her little cheek, and made a pinky promise with her.
After that, Xiao Zhi said similar things again and again. Only after Su Bai made a pinky promise did she stop crying and start laughing. She took out a series of little red flower stickers and carefully stuck them on Su Bai's forehead.
"Brother Su Bai, you're great! These are all little red flower stickers that Xiao Zhi prepared for you."
"Teacher Wanyi said that Su Bai is such a great person that he deserves to be covered in red flowers."
"Xiao Zhi is great too."
Su Bai...
