Sure enough, although Saqiu remained calm, the other party's range of movement was indeed getting smaller and smaller, and they were gradually becoming stretched thin.

It seemed that it wouldn't be long before Saqiu was captured by the guards.

'Yes... at this distance, surrounded by guards, he has no chance of escaping. If he attacks my guards, they will simply confiscate his longsword...'

'It seems the opponent doesn't have any spatial abilities or ranged attacks. If we just wait, we'll win...'

Yokotani calmed himself down and gradually regained his confidence:

'That's right, as long as I'm at home, my [Ink Attack] is invincible.'

He glanced at Saqiu, whose movements were swift and graceful, and thought to himself as if encouraging himself:

'A swordsman who has lost his sword is like a toothless tiger; you have no chance of winning...'

Suddenly, Yokotani froze.

Because under his gaze, Saqiu, who should have been in dire straits, showed an inappropriate look of boredom on his face!

At that moment, Yokotani did indeed hear it.

Saqiu's barely audible voice seemed to gradually emerge from the deepest hell:

"That's enough of the joking around. Now you should just die."

Chapter 384 The Schemer Qiduo! × Can't you kill someone without a sword?

"It is said that before a person dies, they slowly review their life, like that lantern thing?"

"It's like a revolving lantern."

"Oh right, right, right, Yokotani, you know so much. No wonder you got into university..."

Yokotani shook his head sadly, looking at the grinning man in front of him:

"Stop talking, Hazard. Once you're better, we'll go back to school together, get our law licenses, and then immigrate to Saherta."

Hazard's face turned pale, and he nodded stiffly, turning into a black and white portrait.

"My son..."

At the funeral, Hazard's mother wept bitterly.

Yokotani's hands and feet were ice-cold. He stared at his brother's coffin without saying a word, as if all his energy had been drained away.

"Friend, friend, would you like to learn about the reincarnation service?"

A man dressed as a monk crept over furtively.

What is the reincarnation service?

It seemed this wasn't the first time Yokotani had said this; the moment it slipped out, a sense of familiarity washed over me.

'It seems like... I've experienced these things before?'

The monk lowered his head, looking around as if he had stolen incense money from the temple, and after a long while, he slowly said:

“For just one million Jenny, we will perform a special prayer for that deceased brother to ensure he can be reborn in another country.”

“Other countries… Saherta, is that alright?”

Yokotani gripped the monk's robe tightly, as if he had found a lifeline.

"Of course! We could even make him a normal person from birth!"

Wow, that's amazing...

Yokotani's lips trembled with excitement, but he could only weakly say:

"I...I only have 30 khani..."

He was just a poor student, and his savings accumulated over the years amounted to only 30 kyats, far short of one million...

"I'll cover the rest!"

A firm voice rang out.

Looking out from Yokotani.

She is Hazard's mother.

This old woman, who had endured 60 years of hardship, had never been so resolute.

She gritted her teeth and said:

"I sold that shack for exactly 70!"

The monks were moved by their piety and kept chanting the title of the Supreme Heavenly Venerable Great Auspicious Reincarnation Spirit Bodhisattva.

After raising one million, the monks formed a neat circle.

They began to pray over Hazard's body:

"May you dwell in a land of lush pastures, may you journey to the earthly paradise of Saherta, may you eat fish and meat, may you never suffer from constipation..."

"Ah~"

The monks spoke in unison:

"Door!"

Yokotani and Hazard's mother knelt devoutly, thinking that Hazard could finally enjoy a good life.

At that moment, Yokotani seemed to see a tiny Hazard joyfully leaping out of the coffin, his translucent body floating lightly in the air.

It floated around in mid-air and landed at Yokotani's feet, rubbing its face against his worn-out leather shoes.

Then Yokotani saw it jump onto his knees, onto his shoulders, onto his head, and then disappear into the air.

Yokotani lowered his head and silently recited:

Amen...

The fourth day after the funeral.

Hazard's mother starved to death.

The seventh day after the funeral.

The Kakin Judiciary arrested a group of fake monks in New Delhi who were posing as monks offering services for the deceased.

Looking at the master bowing his head and confessing his sins on TV, Yokotani recognized him as the monk who had performed the ceremony for Hazar.

The host solemnly explained on television that there is no such thing as reincarnation, the dead cannot be brought back to life, everyone has their own destiny, and one should be content...

It turns out there's no such thing as reincarnation; when a person dies, they're dead. No matter what, one should be content.

For the first time, Yokotani realized the absurdity and ridiculousness of this world, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"Ha ha……"

Standing beside him, Saqiu looked thoughtfully at the television screen and casually remarked:

"You were scammed? How much money were you scammed out of?"

“30 juni, and the life of Hazar’s mother.”

Saqiu nodded:

"What a heavy price to pay."

He was referring to that life, not the 30 jini.

Yokotani looked at Sachi with suspicion:

"who are you?"

Saqiu said:

“I’m here to kill you. You’re already dead, Yokotani-kun.”

It was as if a toilet that had been clogged for eighteen years had suddenly become clear, and Yokotani suddenly remembered everything.

Including Melena, Nen abilities, a hunter with a sword, [Mo Gong]...

For some reason, Yokotani was unusually calm after knowing that he was going to die.

He asked in confusion:

"I still don't understand why you were so confident when you were surrounded by guards. Do you have some kind of teleportation ability?"

Saqiu shook her head.

"A spell? A blade aura?"

Yokotani continued to ask.

Saqiu shook her head again.

Yokotani couldn't think of anything, so he simply said:

"Then you can't kill me. As soon as your knife comes at me, the guards will forcibly confiscate it."

Saqiu smiled and asked in return:

"Can't you kill someone without a sword?"

boom!

In an instant, the world before Yokotani's eyes shattered, turning into endless streams of light that swirled and coalesced into a single point before abruptly dispersing and reassembling into the reality before his eyes!

Back to Melena's base camp.

Yokotani only saw Sachi, who was surrounded by guards, slowly raise his head and meet his gaze.

A sharp white light suddenly shot out from those huge, dark eyes, instantly illuminating the entire room!

Swish!

From nothingness, the light of a sword emerges!

At the same time, Saqiu's calm and composed voice also rang out:

"Life is but fifty years, like a dream, like an illusion—"
