As he spoke, he touched the back of his head and looked away: "To be honest, you only know how difficult it is when you experience it yourself... Even though it was something I did, I feel really sorry when I think about how that guy had to go through it so many times."
"After playing it a few times, I felt like smashing the machine, but in the end I persevered in order to get the best results... Even I, watching from outside the screen, felt that way. As the person who experienced it firsthand, I can only imagine how difficult and bumpy that guy's life must have been."
Following his words, I turned to look at the guy who had already gotten up. The black-clad bastard was glaring at Fei Fei, who was circling around him, his left hand resting on the hilt of his sword, tapping it lightly from time to time, but for some reason, he didn't draw it. Could it be because he recognized the rare existence and was certain that even if I attacked him, I wouldn't be able to easily defeat him?
Strangely enough, despite being a madman who went berserk and killed his way through the train carriage and even made threatening gestures on our first meeting, his condition has remained relatively stable since then, although it hasn't been great.
I don't know how I managed to control the impulses that had accumulated over time. I was very negative, but I could still sense a hidden sense of order in my actions.
Is it really just to end everything that I'm putting in this effort?
A brief thought flashed through my mind, only to be cast into nothingness.
No, it's just an insignificant character in the setup anyway, so let's just ignore it as long as it doesn't cause any problems. It would be even better if we could just remove it from the board.
Then, I was once again drawn to Sheng's words.
"However, this matter is not over yet."
After catching his breath briefly, Sheng turned around and gripped the edge of the stone platform, supporting his frail body. To prevent him from falling, I quickly got up as well, and then I saw the boy supporting himself with one hand while looking around at the space that was now filled with scattered human bodies.
"Oh dear, as expected, a lot of people have been caught up in this. It seems there are more than we anticipated."
Yes, to ensure everyone could lie as comfortably as possible without infecting each other and potentially catching that vitiligo, which I'm not sure is contagious, I worked tirelessly like a bull for a long time. There was hardly anywhere left to put my feet down.
He opened his mouth in silence, then shook his head: "If I had known, I would have slowed down the progress. Then I could have easily obtained the mission victory mark."
"Didn't you consider this point at the beginning when you started the battle plan?"
Faced with my question, Sheng closed one eye in a coquettish manner and stuck out her tongue: "Oh dear, it's all because that guy is a giant bulldozer~ And that elder who joined later was too enthusiastic, which completely disrupted the rhythm."
Trying to act cute is not an option; I'm too old for that.
"She's still in the prime of her life, and she's never had a day to play and have fun with her friends... Is there really such a person as the older brother who speaks so harshly to a child who has suffered so much in the past?"
You've said all the nice things, you brat.
To vent his anger, he rubbed his head vigorously, but eventually, while begging for mercy, he gradually reduced the weight on his hands.
"Anyway, hurry up. The thing is right here. I didn't try to take it out because I was worried about what might happen. You decide what to do."
I gently stepped aside and watched the boy, who had been all smiles before becoming serious again. Even the black-clad sword demon walked closer.
The true essence of being lazy and slacking off is using useful tools when they are appropriate.
In the solemn atmosphere, Sheng took a deep breath and reopened his eyes. Tiny points of light began to appear beneath his outstretched hand, illuminating the pure white stone platform.
After a short breath, just like a lie, the solid stone in front of me wavered for a moment. After a few flashes, the false shell was shed, revealing a smaller stone platform inside.
Of course, there was also a round plate, beautifully white with clear, pure water, placed on a shelf on the stone platform.
"It really is just a pretty-looking disc..."
He murmured to himself unconsciously, but fortunately, neither of the two people nearby paid any attention to him, so it wasn't too awkward.
However, there is something even more concerning than that.
Why is white steam rising from the clear, clean water?
Because of the illusion cast and the fact that the surrounding area was pure white, it had not been seen before. However, after the illusion covering the surface was lifted, the brain, which had received the correct information again, finally discovered the pale white smoke that was still floating on the clear water and had not completely dissipated.
Because of the clear, calm water, it is exceptionally clear. At the same time, because it stands out so much from the overall atmosphere, it is particularly eye-catching.
Is it a natural phenomenon that has always existed, or is it something deliberately sabotaged by someone? Statistically speaking, the latter is more likely.
"...This...it looks a bit like the effect of the Misty Grass?"
A puzzled murmur came from the other side.
Neither Sheng nor Jian Gui, Thrall, waking from his deep sleep, stretched and rubbed his eyes as if he had just had a good dream, and spoke to us in a daze before fully waking up.
The fact that all three eyes were focused on him might have startled Sal, but he didn't seem to feel any fear: "Hmm, upon closer inspection, it looks more like mist grass. It usually grows in the forest and is an essential item for escaping the pursuit of some dangerous creatures. Because it has the characteristic of releasing a thin mist for a long time when it gets wet, and it also has a slight toxicity, it is one of the reasons why the settlement usually doesn't let us go out when it rains."
