Chapter 238 Chapter 238 Zai: "The word partner is really unacceptable...
238
"The magnificent treasure chest has been opened. Congratulations to the host for receiving 160 gold coins, 1 Yokai Mask, 1 Burning Wish Agate, 1 Teyvat Travel Ticket, and 2 Free Turquoise."
"Congratulations to the host for completing this world exploration. Rewards: 3200 gold coins, 1 Heart of God, 1 Eye of the Fire Elemental God, and 1 "Book" from a certain world."
Dazai Osamu stood at the door, his figure hidden in the darkness.
He pulled the collar out of Sakata Gintoki's hand and took a step back.
Jushu Duoduoliang turned on the light in the room, and the darkness was instantly swallowed by light.
There was anger in Sakata Gintoki's eyes and his face looked extremely ugly.
Li Xiaoqi's eyes were red and he looked at Dazai Osamu with shock.
Toushu Tadara noticed that the atmosphere was not right, looked around, and chose to keep quiet.
Dazai Osamu reached out and hit Juusu Tadara hard on the back of the head.
Shishu Duoduoliang rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.
"Okay, now the person who's in the way is asleep."
Dazai Osamu put his hands in the pockets of his black coat, with no expression on his face.
Li Xiaoqi looked into his eyes, hoping to see an expression other than indifference and relief.
From the very beginning, Dazai Osamu only needed to complete the exploration of two worlds.
But why didn't he say it?
Let go...what are you letting go of?
"Why not?"
Li Xiaoqi heard himself asking angrily.
Dazai Osamu arched his brows and said with a smile, "What good will it do if I tell you?"
Li Xiaoqi looked at the smile on his face and suddenly felt a surge of anger.
"What I said..."
She opened her mouth hastily, but suddenly didn't know how to continue.
If they had said that... maybe they could have said goodbye properly.
But Dazai Osamu didn't like saying goodbye.
Sakata Gintoki punched the wall and said in a deep voice, "At least say goodbye properly."
He said what Li Xiaoqi couldn't say.
"Or, you've never considered us partners."
Hearing what Sakata Gintoki said, a sarcastic smile appeared on Dazai Osamu's lips.
"In my opinion, there's no point in saying goodbye."
"We're partners, then what?"
"Just like now, we are destined to separate, aren't we?"
He spoke word by word, his gaze slowly falling on Li Xiaoqi.
“Time takes away everything, including memories.”
Li Xiaoqi opened his lips slightly, twitched the corners of his mouth, and laughed silently.
"You go."
She said softly.
Dazai Osamu was stunned. It was as if his heart was being grabbed by a pair of hands and blood was being squeezed out repeatedly. It hurt so much.
She smiled indifferently, her eyes full of helplessness.
This time, it was Dazai Osamu who remained silent.
Sakata Gintoki crossed his arms, leaned against the wall, and turned his dark red eyes, in which the bitter smile on Dazai Osamu's lips was reflected.
"Feel sorry."
Dazai Osamu looked defeated and spoke with a gentle look.
Sakata Gintoki stood up straight, put his hand on Dazai Osamu's shoulder, and looked into his eyes.
"Go ahead, you have something you want to do."
"You're such an awkward person that you don't even know how to say goodbye."
He was no longer as angry as before, and his expression was extremely calm.
Sakata Gintoki raised the corners of his lips and said affirmatively: "Go ahead."
Li Xiaoqi smiled, walked up to Dazai Osamu and nodded slightly.
"Go, return to your world."
Dazai Osamu opened his eyes wide, and light shone in his iris-colored eyes.
White spots of light began to emerge from his feet, and his body began to disappear from his ankles.
"you……"
His voice was hoarse and trembling.
Li Xiaoqi and Sakata Gintoki walked up to him and hugged him with gentle expressions.
"The time I spent with you was invaluable to me."
Li Xiaoqi whispered softly in his ear.
"Me too."
Sakata Gintoki chuckled.
The moment his voice faded, Dazai Osamu turned into a group of white butterflies and gradually dissipated into the air.
"Mr. Dazai Osamu has separated from the system and returned to the original world."
The voice of the administrator Liu Yue sounded in his mind. Li Xiaoqi sniffed and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"What kind of disappearance method was used? I didn't even see the guy's final expression..."
"Yes."
Sakata Gintoki raised his hand and rubbed Li Xiaoqi's head, a look of pity flashed in his eyes.
"Don't you like that guy? Why don't you express your final feelings?"
Li Xiaoqi shook his head and said, "I like it, but it can't represent my entire life."
Sakata Gintoki was slightly stunned, and the corners of his lips slowly curled up.
"Too."

"Mr. Dazai Osamu, since you have perfectly completed the task of configuring the system, I will now grant you the World Core as a reward for your contribution to the system."
In a void, Dazai Osamu felt as if he was floating on the surface of a lake, and the sound of the system came along with the sound of ripples on the water.
He slowly opened his eyes, only to see a flash before his eyes, and the bright light was covered by darkness.
Dazai Osamu sat in a comfortable office chair, with a dark desk in front of him and a spacious empty room in front of the desk.
Feeling a cool touch on his palm, he lowered his eyes and gently spread out his palm, and a red round gem appeared in his eyes.
Suddenly, he felt a warm touch sliding down his cheek. Dazai realized it belatedly and reached out to wipe away the water marks on his face.
He looked at the water droplets on his fingertips with a stunned expression.
In front, the door was pushed open silently and familiar footsteps were heard.
"You're finally back—"
An annoyed voice echoed in the room.
Dazai Osamu looked up, his eyes seemed to be out of control, and liquid kept flowing out.
Nakahara Chuuya opened his eyes wide in disbelief, and his voice trembled with shock.
"You...are crying?"
"ah."
Dazai Osamu spoke up, a gentle smile playing on his lips.
"I cried."
Nakahara Chuuya frowned slightly, lowered the brim of his hat, and threw the documents in his hand onto the table.
"You did a good job, so you should clean up the mess."
"You bastard, merge our world with other worlds."
Dazai stood up, pinching the red gem between his index and middle fingers. "Yes, only in this way will our world not disappear."
"The world core has finally been obtained, and the plan has changed."
"With this, the rifts in space and time created by the unstable energy of fusion can be repaired."
As he spoke, he looked up at the night sky outside the window.
In the night sky, a few faint lights kept flickering, and holes appeared in places.
That is what the system calls a space-time rift.
Dazai Osamu squeezed the round gem in his hand tightly, and with a little force, it broke like a biscuit.
The shattered gemstones turned into colorful streams of light and quickly floated towards several holes in the air.
Nakahara Chuuya could not see anything unusual in the sky, but was only curious about Dazai Osamu's actions and words.
"Speaking of plans—why did you deliberately let Nakajima and Akutagawa Ryunosuke fight? And you deliberately left Gin here to provoke Akutagawa Ryunosuke!"
"It took me a lot of effort to put an end to this farce."
Nakahara Chuuya gritted his teeth and became more and more angry as he spoke.
Dazai Osamu laughed and said, "As expected of Chuuya."
Nakahara Chuuya looked behind Dazai Osamu, his face hesitant, and said in a deep voice: "Now that you're back, don't think about anything else. Just sit here honestly!"
"Chuuya, do you know?"
"The word partner—"
"It's incredible."
Dazai Osamu smiled with his eyebrows curved, the moonlight fell on his face, and his features looked very gentle.
Nakahara Chuuya was stunned and turned his head away.
"whispering sound."
"You just found out."
Suddenly, Dazai Osamu closed his eyes and fainted on the ground without any warning.
"The world core has been used, and the side effects are taking effect."
The system uttered its final words, and then there was silence.

The lights in Houmai were brightly lit, and everyone gathered around the ten Tadara beams, making sharp explosions.
Suho-sama stared at Totsugawa Tadara intently, like a puppet, motionless.
Kusanagi Izumo poked Soho's arm in amusement, but couldn't help laughing when he saw that the other party didn't move at all.
Li Xiaoqi and Sakata Gintoki drank drinks and sat on the sofa watching the lively scene in front of them.
After another round of explanation, the people of Houmaru looked at them as if they were gods, which made the two of them feel uncomfortable.
Li Xiaoqi and Sakata Gintoki's faces darkened, and they held their stomachs and began to cry out in pain.
Then, he quickly rushed up to the third floor and returned to his room to avoid this situation.
No one came up to look for them, probably because they heard what they said about Dazai Osamu leaving and wanted to give them some time to rest.
Li Xiaoqi sat on the bed and slowly exhaled.
Sakata Gintoki grabbed his hair and sat cross-legged on the ground, "Really, those people have too many questions."
"yes."
Li Xiaoqi turned his ankle and stared at his own shadow on the ground in a daze.
"That's great, he's back."
Sakata Gintoki looked at the moon outside the window and spoke in a low voice.
"Um."
Li Xiaoqi responded.
Sakata Gintoki looked at her, mused, and said, "A girl who has been heartbroken can cry."
"I'm not a girl. I'm already an adult in my twenties."
Li Xiaoqi said with a smile.
Sakata Gintoki sneered, stood up, and raised his hand to hold Li Xiaoqi's head.
"You don't have to be so strong."
Li Xiaoqi raised the corner of his lips, took Sakata Gintoki's hand away, and said with a smile: "I have been sad for a long time."
"I've tried it before, but he never responded."
"I know he has unfinished business, so I won't cause him any more trouble."
Sakata Gintoki laughed out loud and ruffled Li Xiaoqi's hair.
"Are we going to watch him die?"
Li Xiaoqi: “…”
The room was silent, with only the chirping of birds outside the window.
I don’t know how long it took, but I heard some noises coming from downstairs, and the party seemed to have begun.
No one cared to pay attention to when the live broadcast was turned off, and by the time they noticed, the live broadcast screen next to them had already disappeared.
Sakata Gintoki's face darkened slightly, and he quickly curled up the corners of his lips.
"If you don't have an answer, then let's have a drink first."
Li Xiaoqi was stunned and laughed softly.
"That's true."
"It sounds like they are celebrating—"
Li Xiaoqi opened the door and bumped into Anna who was standing at the door.
Anna looked up at Li Xiaoqi and extended her hand to invite him, "Ms. Nana, Mr. Yin, please come down and have cake with us."
"Oh - not bad, Yin, I love sweets the most."
Sakata Gintoki stepped out of the corridor and walked downstairs with big strides.
Li Xiaoqi looked at Sakata Gintoki's back and sighed silently.
Anna grabbed her cold hand and said, "Ms. Nana, are you sad?"
Li Xiaoqi was silent for a moment and murmured softly.
"Maybe a little bit."
Anna frowned slightly, looking thoughtful.
She said, "Duoduoliang once said that if a boy pushes you away because he's awkward, he'll end up chasing his wife to the crematorium."
Li Xiaoqi widened his eyes, twitched the corner of his mouth, and wiped his face.
"What on earth did Jutsu-kun teach you?"
Anna blinked her innocent eyes and walked away in small steps.
"Ms. Nana, everyone is waiting for you."
"Also, thank you for bringing back Tadara."
She turned around, her dress blooming like a flower, and thanked him with a bright smile.
