Chapter 72



The alarm this time was different from the last time - obviously, the danger of the laboratory being invaded was much greater than the danger of the base being discovered.

Shi Wu didn't quite understand what the system was doing. Although Shi Wu himself didn't remember, no one could expect a child from the Taisho period to understand the meaning of the code after being in modern society for a few months.

Shi Wu could use a refrigerator, watch TV, and learned how to use these appliances. But that didn't mean he could understand the principles behind them. And the code data was even further away from his life.

He only knew that the system flashed through a field of numbers he couldn't understand and some energy fluctuations in his mind, and then in the end, he didn't know what it did, and the alarm sounded.

[Completed, it will take another ten minutes to transfer the flame energy.]

This time, the system didn't mention the countdown to the twenty-four disappearances. It sounded like he would leave after these ten minutes.

This time, Shi Wu did not ask if he could stay for a while longer. He somewhat understood that his actions would probably hurt Sawada Tsunayoshi.

What does the vest represent? For the system, the vest is just a prop for Shi Wu to stay in these worlds.

Because the identity of the vest is the more important part of these worlds.

And for Shi Wu...it's actually the same.

He will carefully remember all the people he knows and the new friends he has made in his heart, knowing that they are all real people with different personalities, but very gentle.

The only thing is that he did not put his own identity (vest) in the same position. He is used to discarding the vest and does not care what the vest will become. If this continues, he will eventually forget that he is still a human being.

Shi Wu does not want to become a "ghost". Therefore, he needs to treat every time he travels in the future as a real life and live his "life" in this way.

Fortunately, it is still early now, and he has not formed this habit yet, and Yuni has seen it - Shiwu certainly knows that Yuni still thinks of him as Sawada Tsunayoshi. With the system, he will never let anyone see Shiwu's true identity.

But because of Yuni's specialness, she can see these small problems of Shiwu, and because of the unequal information, she misunderstood some of them, thinking that he is like Yuni in another world, who can abandon the shell and leave the soul.

Fortunately, Yuni is there, Shiwu can't help but sigh.

The system is counting down in his mind, and what is displayed in reality is the change of the data on the screen. They are changing little by little, and the current data transfer is - 10%.

"At this rate, how long do you think it will take for Sawada Tsunayoshi to show up here?" Shiwu said to the system.

At Sawada Tsunayoshi's rate, he would be here to stop him in less than a minute.

[Don't worry. He was slowed down by the invaders.]

[According to calculations, we can leave before he arrives.]

Shiwu was stunned. He really didn't want to see Sawada Tsunayoshi in this situation, but after hearing that the other party really wouldn't show up, he still felt a little regretful.

"Are you doing this on purpose?" Shiwu complained quietly and without malice.

[……]

Based on the semi-finished product that Irie Shoichi had already made, Shiwu understood what he should do in the future, what he should do, and what kind of situation it would lead to, under the explanation of the system.

He thought for a moment, and said to the system: "In the next world, choose an identity that will never harm others, right?"

[? ]

"Because everyone is a good person. At least those vests and the partners around them are all very good people." Shi Wu said lightly: "I chose Ranbu at first because I wanted to use the identity of a parallel world so that they wouldn't pay too much attention to me."

"But I can't ignore the fact that they are all too gentle. Even if I am Ranbu of a parallel universe, even if I am Tsuneyoshi of a parallel world, I am very important to them."

"They regard me as their responsibility." Shi Wu's expression was very relaxed, as if he said these words casually. He said: "So, at least the next vest... just don't become their responsibility."

[I understand. ]

Eight minutes had passed, and there were still two minutes left in the countdown.

Shi Wuxian was bored, leaning against the table in the laboratory, lost in his own thoughts with lifeless eyes. He chatted with the system casually, and then at this moment, he remembered an important question - something he had always forgotten to confirm with the system.

"Jinchūriki, if the energy is not enough, we need to leave the vest to that world as a Jinchūriki." Shi Wu suddenly remembered the most important question: "Then, what form will this Jinchūriki, this vest take when it is left in that world?"

System: [……]

[I'm not sure.] The system answered him.

Obviously the system has no such experience, after all, not everyone will be as generous as Shi Wu to leave the vest to others.

Shi Wu patted his head, how could he forget such an important question! But now that it has come to this point, it is impossible to let the system fail halfway.

The countdown is sixty seconds.

Shi Wu looked at the white ceiling with some regret. He still likes the sky here very much. By the way, the gift he gave to Nana's mother is still in the room. He hopes that Sawada Tsunayoshi still remembers it and can pass it on to him.

Coming to this world, from the perspective of the mission and Shi Wu's final behavior, there is actually no need for this.

The mission is to save the world. The system completely handed the mission to Sawada Tsunayoshi, but Shi Wu was unwilling. So now he is using Irie Shoichi's semi-finished product, and all the energy he pays in the future will be paid by the system.

In the current situation, even if he doesn't come to this world at all, Shi Wu can still do this in that world.

This process also increases the time and consumption of traveling through time and space!

But from Shi Wu's point of view, the experience during this period of time is too precious. He thought of an important partner and recalled the memories with his mother. The easy life during this period made him feel much more relaxed.

However, just when he regretted not being able to see the sky, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the ceiling!

In the eyes of Shi Wu, in the sudden hole in the ceiling, the forehead of the suspended Sawada Tsunayoshi was burning with a clear orange flame, and his warm brown eyes, which always looked gentle, turned into a calm golden red at this moment.

Through the gap in the damaged area behind Sawada Tsunayoshi, the bright sunlight hit Tokiwa's face, and the free-floating Sawada Tsunayoshi landed in front of him and stretched out his hand to him.

The countdown was five seconds.

[Five]

Tokiwa stared blankly at the hand with the iron glove stretched out to him.

Sawada Tsunayoshi's eyes were cold and sharp at this moment, aggressive, and even had a sense of inhuman purity and holiness.

[Four]

"Leave it to me." Sawada Tsunayoshi said this without any context.

But Tokiwa understood.

It was clearly something completely unrelated - something that had nothing to do with his past.

It was just such a gesture of stretching out his hand...but Tokiwa suddenly felt very sad.

It seemed as if he had been waiting for these hands for a long, long time - not for him, but...

["God... Buddha... please save my brother..."]

Shi Wu seemed to have auditory hallucinations in his ears, and he heard a voice that was very similar to his own.

It was the color of despair, a situation that was almost dying. He was powerless and couldn't even stand up -

but there was a person who, in this situation, was still praying to God, hoping that there would be someone, or anything - as long as there was something that appeared and reached out to Shi Wu.

[Three]

Shi Wu was bewitched, the beautiful flames made his vision lose other colors, and he was attracted by this "hope".

But just when their hands were about to touch, Shi Wu stopped.

He reacted.

The person who needs to be saved now is not me. Shi Wu looked at the hand and thought so in his heart. He now has a system and is not in danger, although he is already dead.

The one who needs to be blessed, needs to be rescued, and needs to survive - should be another person.

[Two]

Shi Wu felt his brain was stuttering. He couldn't remember those memories and just felt extremely sad.

"Save him..." Shi Wu murmured silently, and his memory returned to the small house many years ago.

He was the child who fell in a pool of blood, and there were large patches of red in front of his eyes.

No matter who it is, please...save him...

Why, at that time, no one showed up to save him...Shi Wu's mind suddenly had such emotions. He almost said this sentence.

Shi Wu was shocked by himself because this emotion was too bad.

He withdrew his hand and stared at the special texture of Tsunayoshi Sawada's pupils. The golden-red flames infected those pupils, which were holy and beautiful.

It was because of this beautiful flame that Shi Wu regarded the person in front of him as those non-existent gods and Buddhas.

But Tsunayoshi Sawada is not a god, and there are no gods.

[One]

Shi Wu withdrew his hand and smiled apologetically at Tsunayoshi Sawada.

"No need." Shi Wu curled his eyes, "I'm not a child anymore, and I shouldn't leave my own affairs to others."

"That's what I should do, it's my responsibility." Shi Wu looked at the beautiful flame and exhaled. After all, that was the task he needed to resurrect.

[The flame exchange is completed, the data transfer is completed, and the energy begins to transfer. 】

The alarm brought by his super intuition made Tsunayoshi Sawada take a step back suddenly. The flame energy that Shoichi Irie had studied and preserved - the powerful force that had just caused the alarm to sound, all rushed into the boy who was originally sitting on the ground in front of him.

The orange flames around the boy who could only guarantee the minimum flame energy required for life almost seemed to burn him!

The orange flames of the sky were dazzling, and there was almost no other scenery that could compare to this moment - but when Tsunayoshi Sawada tried to stretch out his hand, something surprising happened.

The sky flames that were transferred into the boy's body turned into purple cloud-attribute flames in an instant! The purple flames splashed outward, and the next moment, the boy sitting on the ground disappeared.
