Something's wrong, they're not NPCs?

Chapter 372: Yes, there is no reason to refuse this time

11 month 13 day.

Night.

The bustling world is very unfamiliar to me.

Is the woman who follows behind you and then takes the initiative to go to the restaurant front desk to ask for a private room also considered a stranger?
I've heard her name before. A long time ago.

I simply thought they were dead people, not living people.

To talk about possessiveness now...I'm afraid it's too long ago, so long ago that I can't even explain what kind of emotional dregs I have left for Ming.

"Do you want to eat anything?"

"..."

I have observed her.

In a way, she might be very similar to me.

When things are limited, people try their best; when they are powerless, they suffer and feel content to be a vase.

But she was lucky enough not to encounter the same thing as me.

Ok.

She made it to the end.

Want something to eat?

I pulled out my phone and started typing.

【Stir-fried noodles, add more sweet sauce】

"Sweet sauce?"

Don't understand?

When there were only noodles, even if he was pretending to like it, it was the first time he praised my cooking skills.

As she turned her head to leave, I continued to watch.

She has delicate features and a standard oval face. Her long black hair is shiny. Although her hair is messy after being caught in the rain, her charm has not diminished but increased.

The narrow skirt that reaches the knees highlights the slender and well-proportioned calves.

Even though she wasn't trying to attract anyone's attention, she did. Too pretty.

Even though her belly is bulging, she still chooses a loose sweatshirt with a skirt.

There are also some that are well worn... the so-called flesh-colored bare leg artifact.

Even if you are pregnant, do you still hope to take his attention away?

I have no time to think about this.

I don't understand anything, the only thing I insist on is revenge.

As long as you kill all the monsters, no matter where you are, it will become quiet... and pleasing to the eye.

"Really just fried noodles?"

She came back and sat in front of me.

The beautiful shoulder bag was placed on another wooden chair.

"..."

I just nodded and didn't respond.

The ability to speak has not been lost, but one is unwilling to make too much noise.

Compared to her clear, mature and charming voice, it might sound... quite unpleasant.

"Well, I paid enough anyway. No one will bother me even if I want to go to a private room and just eat a plate of sweet sauce fried noodles."

"..."

"You, what's wrong with your hand?"

"..."

Hand?

That's very boring.

"Hey! This fragrance..."

I watched her eyelids twitch and she staggered. I quickly stepped forward to hold her up.

Not wanting to chat about anything.

Simply, to help solve some of the problems.

If there was any jealousy, it might have suddenly disappeared the moment she chose to put down her phone and not make the call.

"Since there are so many women who like you."

"There are so many women who need your protection."

"Don't become like me again. Be careful..."

I'm almost at the end. I can't find it, and even if I find it, I can't defeat it, so I might as well stop here.

I stretched out my hand, and soft brown flesh overflowed from my palm, shaped like petals.

As long as we absorb the unclean elements in her body, everything will be fine.

Among all his women, the one in front of him was the most affected. How pitiful.

11 month 13 day.

Night.

Logically speaking, after doing all these things, I should wake her up and leave quietly.

[Yao, are you still busy? ]

"..."

but.

I didn't move and remained in the private room.

The sweet sauce fried noodles that the waiter brought had already been eaten. Only an empty plate was left.

A lot of past events came to mind.

After that, Nogizaka Kaoru insisted on following me.

Leaving Izu does not mean safety. She treats me like a widow, and so do I.

But with just me, plus her, who can't use Beichen Ittoryu even if she tries hard, 1+1 might equal 0.

Such half-hearted revenge based on emotion alone will never succeed.

until……

"Although I know that my mother hates me, my older brother told me to protect her."

'...'

It's like a shadow hiding in the dark.

Whether I want it or not, I will always appear at the right time, do what I should do, and then disappear.

Even when all humans were sleeping, she was hunting monsters.

"I felt free after my big brother disappeared."

That's what she said.

If I had been able to organize my words better, maybe I would have started thinking about what she was earlier.

There are endless monsters to kill.

In other words, the speed of hunting is simply not as fast as their reproduction speed.

"Aili-chan, I have decided to quit."

Nogizaka said this not because she was afraid. I know she is not afraid of death, otherwise she wouldn't have blocked my way with her body several times.

'Uncle, maybe he doesn't like me doing this. He might even hate me more.'

'The same to you.'

"Uncle must want Airi-chan to live a normal life."

'...'

I defy that way of thinking.

One can also take revenge alone. It is easier to do it alone.

I have joined various teams, but I am still a lone wolf. No one likes a sloppy woman with a stern face who dislikes everyone.

Thirty years old. About a month after I turned thirty, I saw Nogizaka again.

She is ill.

There were still no other men around her, only a few female friends running around.

"Look, I'm dying. I still have friends around me, but Airi-chan... have you forgotten what friends are? "

"Even if you want revenge, can't you find a stronger partner? Of course you can."

"Aren't you afraid of dying alone, Airi-chan?"

'...'

I won't stop.

But that was my first time looking for a monster and asking Ye Ye for help.

'Treat her? Okay.'

It was also the first time that I wanted to face the past again.

I want to see the note my man left for the monster.

【Every night is human】

[As long as you want to understand this, believe me...]

【…】

It was wrinkled, but it was definitely his handwriting.

What can I say?

It has happened and it has disappeared.

Probably around 32 years old.

I suddenly realized that it was hard to see living people, and the weather was icy and snowy all year round. There were no crops and no resources.

'Although my elder brother has given me freedom and allowed me to cut off contact with them.'

"But that also means they may regenerate a will that is more obedient than mine. A monster that evolved simply for food."

'...'

I never said I forgave it, nor did I allow it to call me mom again.

They just move forward side by side in a deformed relationship.

To be honest, I still don’t understand it…

'What is loneliness? I don't like loneliness.'

'Mom, I can no longer protect you as my big brother asked me to.'

'so……'

Later I learned that she had killed the most difficult monster, using up all her strength, and left her body to me.

Only then did I understand what it meant to share her nerves and everything she had felt.

She knew everything she had talked to Ming about and done.

"Aili-chan, have you grown this big already?"

"Don't you recognize me? It's my mother."

'...'

In order to gain my forgiveness, he even imitated my parents.

She didn't kill him. She's not a monster.

What kind of world is this?

I was a lone wolf to the extreme. There was no one around except me, wrapped in a thick down jacket, huddled in a corner.

Looking at the frozen Nogizaka, she was still alive...but she didn't know when she would be able to open her eyes.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Most of the people I found were alive, in 'fossil' form.

Loneliness, that's what it is.

I have been waiting, waiting for what Ye Ye said, that if I can feel the will of the original body, then maybe I can find it.

The body can no longer be considered human.

Think of it as reincarnation or something. Every time I wake up from a fossilized state, I can clearly feel my body decaying, and then getting younger again.

I have seen dinosaurs.

I have also seen primitive people.

Without the pollution of monsters, new people gradually increase.

Every time I wake up, the changes are huge, getting closer and closer to the world I originally lived in.

I began to have an inexplicable expectation.

What if... the Snow Country really exists? What if what Ming said is true?
Maybe it's true.

But I was too late.

As time goes by, the strength given to me by the night is damaged, although it can still be reversed after decline and become younger again. But the speed is getting slower and slower. I have the opportunity to see the wrinkles on my wrists.

Gradually, you can see age spots on your cheeks.

I have removed most of the fossils. Some of them may have a short-lived brilliance with wisdom, while others died in a too primitive world due to their arrogance.

Only Nogizaka remains with me, absorbing my nutrients.

I thought...what if he really waited for me? Without me, he wouldn't be so sad if he could see Nogizaka, or he would have someone to accompany him out of the shadow.

It's been too long.

If it is a reincarnation, it has been at least several decades. It is not that I woke up in the new year of 2024. It is because I smelled... felt something that made me uncomfortable.

Just like the body that every night gives me, the smell, and the feeling in my brain that is so chaotic that I want to vomit.

I'm already old.

Every night, maybe I burn all my strength. I will protect me as he says.

You will miss it too, right?

Breastfeeding, although it is not so formal. In fact, nothing can be obtained by breastfeeding. But... it is still not a daughter.

Ah.

After using your bare feet for him, you still want to be a woman?

If you really treat her as a daughter, it will turn into a bad relationship sooner or later.

If you choose to call me mom because you want to submit and please me, that’s fine. But forget about it for other reasons.

I was really obsessed with revenge.

Nothing could ever stop it, but people. Not him.

If he were here, holding me back and not letting me do it, I would obey. Since I already have it, why would I do something that would make people worry?
My appearance is not suitable for others to see, but I have seen it.

My voice is also not good enough for others to hear. But I have heard his vivid voice. It seems that he may have forgotten me for some reason, but that is a good thing.

Revenge, I may not be able to continue doing it.

There is neither time nor enough power.

The smells he smelled, after all... all he could find were the women around him. There were more that he couldn't find, he didn't know where they were, or how far away they were.

It would be better to return the body.

I've lived long enough.

It is more gratifying to recover what you have lost than to achieve so-called revenge.

Well, now that I've been over my joy, should I give up this body?

The nerves are shared, of course I know that Ye Ye has actively put his consciousness into hibernation, and he will not take it back even if I don't want to control it.

But after all these years, I have more or less figured out how to manipulate this body to do the same thing. She deserves a pat on the head. Trying really hard, harder than me...

Next, maybe he will have a way to make Ye Ye return to normal.

Then, no matter what happens, Ye Ye will help.

To put it bluntly, after waiting for so long, I have already worn out all the so-called feelings. I am just an inorganic substance. But Ye Ye, if she can wake up, should be more like organic matter than me. She will not be affected by time.

I thought I could wake up and die on the road of revenge...it was clearly my long-cherished wish.

Why did it become a situation where I lost and found it again? How cruel. How can I talk about getting it back when I am in this situation?

If I had known earlier, shouldn't I have provided for other humans, let alone provided for Nogizaka to live until now? In that case, maybe I could live another hundred years.

"what."

I took a deep breath and stood up.

Taking in the fragrance that permeates the private room, she will wake up in less than a minute after I leave.

"..."

However, she seemed to have woken up. Was it because of the strange substance in her body?

Just like how saliva helped me detoxify.

"No... no matter what you do..."

"What is it?"

"..."

Perhaps due to the side effects, her face was distorted, but she grabbed my clothes tightly.

"If you were like me..."

No need for hypnosis anymore, right? Just leave.

"Impossible...I don't know!"

"Mr. Su Ming will be sad."

"..."

Is he sad?
what about me?
I don't expect to see you again, what about me?

You are also a useless woman. Do you dare to speak so arrogantly just because you have not suffered the same experience as me?
Let's just use hypnosis. It's easier. I don't want to waste extra time.

"look……"

I saw her picking up the phone with some difficulty.

【Aili.】

[I don't know what to say, but meet me first. No matter what happens, no matter how you see me now, I will help you unconditionally. ]

"He, he doesn't know. Women don't like to hear such words. It's better to express love in a normal way."

"But if you are like me, you should know that it is because I care about you that I want to see you first no matter what."

"Useless person..."

She can still laugh.

“I won’t be disliked.”

She touched her belly, as if to show me that she was pregnant.

11 month 13 day.

late at night.

Inspectorate.

It’s a bit complicated to explain why I came here, but I can put it in one word.

"Is it Su Ming?"

"Ah... yes."

Su Ming was confused when he received the call from the police station. He even felt extremely tense.

'There is a girl who looks like she has just started college. She doesn't remember anything but your name and ID number. Come over.'

'...'

The so-called girl.

"Uncle! Airi-chan is definitely going to do something stupid! Go find her!"

"Wow... That's great. Even if it's just a dream, I can finally see my uncle. Airi-chan won't have to work so hard anymore."

"..."

Although Su Ming didn't quite understand the current situation, being bitten on the shoulder was really painful.

"Hiss...why did you bite me?"

"If it hurts, it's not a dream! It really... hurts."

"..."

Her eyes were filled with tears and her hands were grabbing the hem of her clothes more and more tightly.

And the inspector who was looking at him with increasingly subtle eyes.

There are many things that cannot be asked at the Inspection Bureau. It is definitely impossible to finish talking about them in a short time.

What does Ellie want to do?
Yao didn't reply so late, and her messages were getting weirder and weirder, not like her. There was only one possibility.

【Aili】

Send a message, using her name as the premise.

I don't know what she has been through, so it's hypocritical for her to say she knows and can empathize with her.

Now I want to make excuses, saying that something affected my mentality and I couldn't even say goodbye properly. It's also hypocritical. Even if that excuse exists... it's not something that can be used as an excuse now.

"Uncle, I'm Xun."

"Aili-chan always says that my name is like the smelly Xun, which is the Xun of lavender."

"Uncle, no matter what, you have to accept my cook this time. We agreed that you will have no reason to refuse me when we meet again. And Airi-chan has agreed!"

"..."

"?"

It's over. Why did the inspector next to him take out the handcuffs?
Could you please not hold me so tightly?

Didn't you see the inspector was already coming over with a stern face? What kind of lewd words are these? Did you think this was the kind of doomsday that Izu could say without restraint?
