Bad luck plagues him, he refuses to become a Kamen Rider.

He didn't believe that this was something that Zhenxia absolutely had to do.

"If you were trapped inside too, how would I explain it to Ms. Miwako?"

Yu Xing scratched her hair, looking somewhat troubled.

But Manatsu wasn't bothered at all. She ran over, passed through Yuuki's body, and climbed onto his back.

"It's okay, this is something I wanted to do myself. Yuuki has always protected me, so I want to protect Yuuki too."

Manatsu's voice was very close, and Yuuki could hear a hint of joy in her words.

"I don't want to be a burden forever."

Manatsu's words left Yuuki speechless, unable to utter a single word.

He wanted to refute it, but he didn't know how.

"Don't make that face. I'm not going to die here, I'm just temporarily stuck. You guys can figure out how to solve the problem outside, right?"

Manatsu looked at Yuuki's scrunched-up face, smiled, and reached out her hand, though it was just a blur and she couldn't actually touch him.

Yuuki took a deep breath and suppressed her surging emotions.

"How do we solve this?"

Knowing that the core issue wasn't with Natsumi, he turned to look at Philip.

“Those negative emotions are the source of pollution in the library. To restore the library to normal, those things must be kept away from here.”

Philip hesitated for a moment, then slowly spoke.

How to get away from it?

“Purify it all.”

Philip raised his head, his gaze falling on the pool of blood.

Yuuki followed his gaze and saw countless streams of blood still climbing up the surface of the sphere of light.

No, it should be said that it is still being continuously absorbed by the light sphere.

“Those negative emotions don’t appear out of thin air; they are deliberately collected by someone, condensing the malice, resentment, and despair of countless people. These things will not dissipate on their own; the only way to get rid of them is through purification.”

Philip's voice turned low; he couldn't think of anyone who could possibly deal with such a pool of blood.

Hearing Philip's words, Yu Xing's gaze sharpened, and a thought flashed through her mind.

"If one person eats these things, would that be considered purification?"

He asked.

"It should be fine..."

Philip was a little unsure, but after thinking for a moment, he continued.

"If that's the case, the person who consumes these negative emotions must have an unimaginably strong willpower, which is beyond human capabilities."

What kind of person could endure the pain and despair of hundreds of thousands of people?

Don't be ridiculous. In Philip's mind, only a god could do that.

After listening, Youxing turned to look at the pool of blood and let out a long breath.

"I come."

His voice was calm, as if it were a trivial matter.

"Are you crazy?"

Philip was stunned, his eyes widening.

He had never seen such a madman, so mad that he wanted to use his own will to suppress hundreds of thousands of people.

"I believe I can do it."

Yu-Hsing turned to look at Philip and gave him a thumbs up.

Just as he was about to walk toward the blood pool, Philip spoke again.

“I advise you to think this over carefully. Those negative emotions are not simply malicious; they are the pain, despair, and resentment of countless people. Your will alone could never withstand it; you would only turn into a madman.”

"Don't you care about Manatsu anymore?"

How will you know if you don't try?

Yu Xing's gaze was frighteningly determined; he never lacked the courage to gamble.

Kuuga's power gave him a sense of confidence; with this power capable of withstanding ultimate darkness, he believed he could overcome it.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Yuuki, Philip could only sigh helplessly.

No one stopped him, and Youxing strode towards the blood pool. This time, he was going to jump in.

"Yuyuki!"

Manatsu's voice came from behind, tinged with obvious anxiety.

Yu Xing didn't turn around. He walked to the edge of the blood pool, looked at the calm surface of the blood pool, and took a deep breath.

Just as he was about to jump, a hand suddenly grabbed his arm.

Yu Xing was taken aback and turned to look.

Sonozaki Kirihiko appeared behind him at some point, her face pale, but her eyes held a hint of relief.

"I'll do it."

Sonozaki Kirihiko's voice was soft, yet unusually firm.

"You will die."

Yuuki grabbed his arm and reminded him.

die?

Sonozaki Kirihiko laughed heartily, without a trace of fear or worry in his eyes.

"I am not afraid of death. My only wish is that the wind can return to its original state."

As for death, Sonozaki Kirihiko had long been prepared.

"There's nothing left in this world for me to cherish, besides..."

He paused for a moment, a wry smile appearing on his face.

"Shouldn't you have known about my physical condition long ago, Haruno Yuuki!"

Sonozaki Kirihiko's last words carried a hint of certainty. Yuuki looked at him and spoke softly.

"It can be cured. Once cured, you can continue to live peacefully in this city."

Yuuki's words didn't affect Sonozaki Kirihiko in the slightest; he simply waved his hand.

“Everyone in the Sonozaki family carries indelible sins, and so do I.”

“I have done a lot of wrong things in my life. I have sold memory chips for the Sonozaki family and hurt a lot of people. Let me do something for this city.”

After finishing speaking, Sonozaki Kirihiko didn't give Yuuki a chance to speak again and jumped to her death.

The moment Sonozaki Kirihiko's body fell into the blood pool, the surface of the liquid surged violently, but the ripples quickly subsided. In its place, a faint light shone from the depths of the blood pool, gradually growing brighter and brighter, washing away most of the darkness.

Yu Xing stood by the blood pool, watching the churning blood gradually become clear, and clenched her hands tightly.

As the blood pool changed, Philip walked a few steps to Yuuki's side and looked at the blood pool as well.

"He succeeded..."

He was somewhat incredulous, but quickly turned it into a sigh of relief.

Yu Xing didn't speak, but just stared at the increasingly clear liquid surface.

The light lasted for a long time, so long that everyone thought it would never stop. Finally, the light slowly dissipated, the blood pool disappeared, and in its place was a pool of crystal-clear water.

The pool water reflected the ceiling lights, making it as bright as a mirror.

At the deepest part of the pool lay a person, Sonozaki Kirihiko, curled up in a ball, her face calm, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, as if she were having a beautiful dream.

"He used his passion to purify those negative emotions, those things that contained the malice of all mankind, but malice can never defeat pure passion."

"His feelings for Fengdu were real and pure."

Philip spoke slowly, his voice carrying a hint of respect.

He paused, his gaze falling on the figure in the pool.

"If Shotaro Satoshi were here, he would definitely say... this guy is a real man."

Yuuki gazed at Sonozaki Kirihiko in the pool, his heart churning with endless emotions.

"A hero should not die in a place where no one knows him."

After a long silence, he spoke, his voice somewhat hoarse.

Then, he jumped into the pool, intending to pull Sonozaki Kirihiko ashore.

Upon entering the pool, Yuuki discovered its mystique.

A warm feeling instantly spread throughout my body, like basking in the gentle sunshine.

His somewhat weary spirit was quickly restored by the nourishment of the pool. Yuuki let out a long breath, no longer lingering on the experience, and instead reached out to scoop out Sonozaki Kirihiko from the depths.

After pulling Sonozaki Kirihiko ashore, Yuuki clung to the edge of the pool with one hand while the other was gently held by someone.

"Yuyuki!"

Manatsu's voice came from above. Yuuki looked up, saw the real Manatsu, and smiled.

After getting ashore, Manatsu, disregarding Yuuki's soaking wet body, suddenly threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly and burying her face in his chest.

Yu Xing paused for a moment, then reached out and gently put her arm around her shoulder.

"It's alright now."

He said in a low voice.

Sonozaki Wakana and Philip also came over. The two stood by the pool, looking at the clear water, their expressions somewhat complicated.

"Finally out! I haven't breathed fresh air outside for so many years."
