Chapter 287 Chapter 287 "The return passage is open, the journey to another world...
287
On the stage, five people who looked like they were attending a comic convention were holding microphones, twisting their bodies to the music, and singing lyrics that were incomprehensible to all the audience.
This dynamic music, coupled with the magical dance, has a unique flavor.
Nakahara Chuuya finally realized the helplessness of himself in another world when he was controlled by the system. His body was not under his control at all, and he was singing a Chinese song that he didn't quite understand.
Li Xiaoqi looked at Zhongyuan Zhongye from the side and behind, and when his eyes fell on the sweat on his forehead, he couldn't help but look at him with pity.
It's worthy of being a system, it makes Chuuya speak Chinese so clearly.
The black snake let out a hoarse cry and twisted its body in pain. The singing was attacking its mind.
As the song ended, a figure appeared above the black snake, followed by a flash of cold light, and the black snake roared and disappeared.
The man in sportswear looked curiously at the stage on the ground, and the sword in his hand transformed into a woman.
The woman, wearing a kimono and with short hair, suddenly exclaimed, "This is the first time I've seen human singing have such a great effect on a demon."
The man groaned and scratched the back of his head in confusion.
"Well, I don't know what happened, but that's a human matter and has nothing to do with us."
He twisted a five-yuan coin in his right hand, threw it up and caught it again.
"Let's go, Acoustic."
The woman nodded slightly and responded obediently.
Li Xiaoqi raised his eyes to look at the place where the black snake disappeared, and saw the Five Spirits in sportswear. He quickly retracted his surprised expression.
Hey, it’s really Yato.
She sighed in her heart, and suddenly there was a cry of surprise from the crowd.
At the same time, Dazai Osamu, Nakahara Chuuya, Gojo Satoru and Sakata Gintoki felt a chill on their backs as a creepy murderous aura surged from the crowd below.
Hibari Kyoya was wearing a black suit jacket, his feet firmly planted on the ground, and the crutch in his hand emitted a slightly cold light.
When Tsunayoshi Sawada saw the familiar look of Hibari Kyou in the crowd, he suddenly remembered his middle school days.
He swallowed nervously, his face stiff.
"Those who disrupt school discipline will be bitten to death."
Hibari Kyoya jumped onto the stage, holding his crutch across his body, his eyes cold as if he was looking at a corpse.
Li Xiaoqi and his group's body control had just been released by the system, but they were still standing there, and their clothes had returned to their original state.
Seeing this magical scene, passers-by thought it was a strange magic show and many people began to applaud.
The next second, Li Xiaoqi and his group of five fled in all directions the moment they met Yun Que Kyoya's eyes.
“Ah ...
They screamed and hurriedly ran in a direction.
The clouds in the sky began to turn orange, and the sun gradually turned red, sinking towards the western mountains.
The countdown displayed in the live broadcast room was only half an hour left. The five people ran to the grove behind the teaching building. Li Xiaoqi quickly took out the portal, opened it, and ran in. The remaining four people followed closely behind him. The portal was closed just before Fu Ping turned to his face.
Hibari Kyoya looked at the disappearing portal, raised his eyebrows, and smacked his lips in displeasure.
“Tsk.”
He put away his crutch and walked away slowly.

Port mafia, rooftop terrace.
The shadows of five people appeared side by side on the ground. They looked at the distant sky and let the wind blow their hair.
Li Xiaoqi patted his chest, slowly exhaled, and said after surviving the disaster: "Hibari Kyoya's bite and kill is too authoritative."
Sakata Gintoki wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I felt like my head was going to be ripped off after that beating."
Gojo Satoru laughed and stretched lazily facing the sunset.
"He seems very powerful. If I have time, I really want to spar with him."
"But now I want to spend more time with you."
Nakahara Chuuya frowned, as if he knew from this sentence that they were going to leave.
"Are you guys leaving?"
After saying that, he subconsciously glanced at the silent Dazai Osamu, with a hint of worry flashing across his brows.
Sakata Gintoki raised his hand and grabbed his slightly messy hair, "Well, that's right."
Li Xiaoqi nodded slightly and smiled with curved eyebrows.
"What a pity."
Dazai Osamu opened his lips slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then curled up the corners of his lips.
"Ah, yes."
At this time, there were only twenty minutes left in the countdown to departure.
"Now...how much time is left?"
Nakahara Chuuya pursed his lips and asked in a deep voice.
"Twenty minutes."
Li Xiaoqi answered calmly without hesitation.
When she thought back to what she had experienced today, it was full of ridiculous scenes.
"Really? I wanted to spend some quality time with everyone before leaving, but the system is the system."
The shadow of the setting sun was reflected in everyone's eyes, and no one spoke for a moment.
The countdown is decreasing little by little, but no one says a word about parting.
Perhaps all five of them had one thing in common, which was that when the time came to say goodbye, they were awkward and speechless.
Li Xiaoqi lay on the wall, put his hands on the base of the wall, and slowly relaxed his body.
"How about we just quietly admire the sunset?"
Dazai Osamu was slightly stunned, took a step forward, and stood next to her, imitating her.
"Um."
Sakata Gintoki raised his hand and rubbed Li Xiaoqi's head, his dark red eyes looking into the distance, and stood to her right.
Gojo Satoru stood beside Sakata Gintoki, smelling the faint scent of cherry blossoms in the air. He said with regret, "Spring, the season when cherry blossoms bloom... It would be nice if we could drink together."
Nakahara Chuuya looked at the four people standing side by side in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and stood next to Dazai Osamu.
He didn't say anything, but just quietly felt the melancholy in the air.
It was unknown how long it had been, but Li Xiaoqi, Dazai Osamu, Sakata Gintoki, Gojo Satoru and Nakahara Naka just watched the sun set in silence.
Li Xiaoqi had imagined various farewell scenes before, but he had never imagined that the five of them would be standing on the rooftop, staring at the sunset, waiting for the final moment to come.
Li Xiaoqi lowered his eyes, looked to the left, then to the right, a smile appearing on his lips.
"Will we be lifelong partners? Even if we can't meet in the future, will everyone still remember me in another world?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Gojo Satoru spoke first, as if he had heard some nonsense, and said as a matter of course, "Having a friend from another world is such a cool thing."
"Even if we can't meet, as long as the memories remain, we will always be partners."
Sakata Gintoki looked straight ahead, his eyes flashing with rich emotions brought by memories, and his tone was extremely gentle.
Dazai Osamu gently turned the ring on his ring finger. He turned his head slightly to look at Li Xiaoqi's profile with a calm expression.
Li Xiaoqi waited for a while, but Dazai Osamu didn't speak.
She couldn't help but turn her head to meet his gaze, "Don't you have anything to say?"
Dazai Osamu raised his hand and pinched Li Xiaoqi's cheek. His iris-colored eyes carried the light of the setting sun, and a gentle smile appeared at the corners of his lips.
"I hope Xiao Qi..."
He paused, then continued, "I can become an old woman safely."
Li Xiaoqi suppressed the sob in his throat, puffed up his cheeks, and glared at him in dissatisfaction.
"It's already this time, and you're still bringing up this topic?"
Dazai Osamu smiled and said, "I'm serious. In a few decades, I will become an old woman and die surrounded by my family without any regrets."
Li Xiaoqi opened his lips slightly, lowered his head, and tried to cover his trembling lips with his hair.
Dazai Osamu smiled gently, with a look of regret and helplessness in the depths of his eyes.
He raised his hand and placed it on Li Xiaoqi's head, patting it gently a few times.
Li Xiaoqi's body stiffened and tears fell uncontrollably.
"It's time to leave, both hosts, please prepare yourselves. The return passage is now open, and our journey into another world ends here. May you all be well and live a happy and healthy life."
Gojo Satoru held Li Xiaoqi's shoulder and pressed it hard as if to give him a warning.
"Well, everyone, I'm leaving now."
Li Xiaoqi suddenly looked up and saw Gojo Satoru wrapped in white light, disappearing on the spot with a bright smile on his face.
Suddenly, the same stream of light appeared around Sakata Gintoki. He looked down, then looked at Li Xiaoqi, Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuuya.
He widened the smile on his lips, even grinning exaggeratedly.
"I'm going back too."
"Xiao Qi, Dazai, instead of thinking about how to die beautifully, it is better to think about how to live beautifully to the end——"
His voice was sonorous and powerful, as if it contained huge energy.
Dazai Osamu opened his eyes wide, and the gradually disappearing figure of Sakata Gintoki was reflected in his eyes.
Sakata Gintoki pointed his index finger at Dazai Osamu, "Dazai, especially you, remember this!"
The moment he finished speaking, his figure completely disappeared.
Dazai Osamu stood there in a daze until Li Xiaoqi's voice rang in his ears.
"Azhi, I'm leaving too."
Li Xiaoqi took a deep breath, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and tried his best to put on a bright smile.
Her bright brown eyes fixed on his face. She suppressed her trembling voice and spoke earnestly and reverently, "This is an answer you and I both know, but I've never actually said it out loud."
"Azhi, I like you, I really like you."
"To punish you for always pushing me away and testing me, I'll make sure you only remember me from now on."
"As long as you stand on the edge of this rooftop, you will be reminded of the many beautiful memories we once had watching the sunset together here, making you reluctant to jump from here."
"Live well."
Li Xiaoqi finally looked at Dazai Osamu carefully, and his vision gradually became blurred as he was enveloped by the white light.
Dazai Osamu suddenly stretched out his hand, a look of panic between his brows.
"Xiao Qi——"
His body passed through the white light without touching anything.
The person who was speaking just now has disappeared, cruelly leaving no trace.
Dazai Osamu stood there for a long time, the tear marks on his face blending with the afterglow of the sunset.
Nakahara Chuuya looked at the thin back of Dazai Osamu in front of him and gently lowered the brim of his hat.
He turned his back and walked towards the rooftop door with a determined look in his eyes.
Finally, Nakahara Chuuya stood at the door and looked sideways at Dazai Osamu.
"Don't worry, you won't be alone in the long dark times ahead."
The setting sun lengthened Dazai Osamu's shadow, and his dark red scarf danced in the wind.
A few drops of water fell to the ground. Dazai Osamu raised his right hand and silently kissed the golden ring on his ring finger.
The half maple leaf engraved on the ring gleamed in the orange light.
"It's strange that you cry like a normal person sometimes."
As the footsteps gradually faded away, Nakahara Chuuya's voice echoed on the rooftop.
