You can talk about the past anytime, but that place is still in crisis right now.
Schools are already densely populated places; what if an alien escapes from there...?
Yuuki was certain that it would be a bloody massacre.
"Don't worry, I've used the excuse of a dangerous building to completely seal off that teaching building, and I've decided to destroy it in a few days."
"As for the school, you don't need to worry too much. I have already asked the school to enforce a mandatory leave."
Wu Daogui gave a dismissive smile, his expression somewhat nonchalant.
But soon, Yuuki's words made him lose his composure.
"Loading the cargo."
Yu Xing made a sarcastic remark.
Sometimes I really want to strangle you.
Guihu looked over expressionlessly, and the words he uttered were even more ruthless.
"Let's get down to business."
Seeing Guihu's expression, Youxing chuckled and quickly changed the subject.
"You're such a coward."
Wu Daogui first made a sarcastic remark about Youxing before explaining the specific methods.
"I was planning to use the rift interference device to reverse and seal off that rift, but I don't know if any new aliens have escaped there now."
"But even if there are, it doesn't matter as long as they're not high-level aliens."
Wu Daogui was very confident.
Once the belt is developed, they can quickly organize a number of armored squads, enough to sweep through the area.
"So I won't participate?"
Yu Xing casually popped the peeled apple into her mouth.
He's been busy fighting monsters, conducting investigations, and dealing with his health issues lately; with so many things piling up, all he wants to do now is rest for a few days.
"Suit yourself, but don't think that I'll forget what just happened."
Wu Dao Guihu remembered that Youxing had deliberately piqued his curiosity several times before, so he had to get something out of Youxing today.
"Tell me quickly, what exactly happened there? And how did you meet Manatsu?"
Seeing the curious look in Wu Daogui's eyes, Youxing knew he couldn't escape it today. He swallowed the apple and began to tell his story.
"Let me start by telling you how I met Manatsu. She was my classmate, but at the time I was very withdrawn and hardly knew anyone in the class."
"It wasn't until one day later, when I went to explore that old school building alone, that I met Manatsu, who was leading a large group of people."
Yu Xing was lost in memories; he still remembered that day.
The girl in front of him was far more enthusiastic than Yu Xing had expected. She was surrounded by other people, but upon seeing him, she still warmly invited him:
"You must be here to explore this building too, right? Since you're alone, would you like to come with us?"
The people standing behind the girl were eyeing him menacingly, and with no other choice, Yuuki joined the team.
"Then?"
Seeing Yuuki suddenly stop talking, Wu Dao Guihu became very interested and his face was full of curiosity.
"Now that you've joined the team, given your enthusiasm, Miss Manatsu, you must have made friends with quite a few people, right?"
Yu Xing sighed and nodded: "I may be aloof, but I'm not stupid. I can tell who's good to me and who's bad to me."
With Manatsu's enthusiasm and positive attitude, Yuuki simply couldn't refuse, and through Manatsu's matchmaking, he also met quite a few people.
"Then why haven't you mentioned them before?"
Wu Daogui picked up an apple, eating it as he asked.
"They all died because of the fire; they died on the fifth floor."
Yu Xing spoke slowly, and when he brought up the matter again, he was already quite calm.
"what?"
Gui Hu hadn't even swallowed the apple in his mouth yet, and he was speechless with astonishment.
"Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any accidents happening there at all."
Wu Daogui had been there and believed that given the conditions there, it was impossible for a fire to start.
"Of course, because it was an accident, a story of reaping what you sow."
Yuuki scoffed, "They can't stand Manatsu's enthusiasm for me, nor can they stand that I, who am aloof, can be liked by the teachers, so they want to play a prank on me."
So, a large amount of flammable materials were brought to the fifth floor in advance by those people. After taking Youxing to the designated location, they set those things on fire.
But then the unexpected happened.
"It was very windy that day, and not all the windows on the fifth-floor classroom were intact."
"They cornered me at the back, trying to make a fool of me, but the wind fanned the flames and the narrow stairwell caused the fire to spread across the entire fifth floor in an instant."
Everyone was trapped in the fire on the fifth floor. Some tried to force their way out, but never returned; others sat on the ground crying, looking even uglier than Yu Xing had imagined.
Yuuki was the calmest person in the room; he noticed something that no one else had noticed.
"That window was the cause of my death, but it was also the key to my escape."
Yu Xing looked out the window, and the fiery sunset reflected in his eyes, a sea of red.
Wu Daogui felt that it was like Yuxing's hidden anger.
"Just because of a little jealousy, such serious consequences have occurred... Those who harm others will ultimately harm themselves."
Afterwards, Yuuki, as the sole survivor, naturally faced skepticism from the outside world, with everyone suspecting that he was the arsonist who was able to escape successfully.
Just when Yuuki felt isolated and helpless, someone stepped forward.
"I was quite lucky. The school was very supportive of me, and my teachers worked hard to speak up for me."
Yu Xing slowly lowered her head: "But I can't drag the school down with me. I'm also afraid that my bad luck will harm the teachers, so I decided to drop out of school."
"You are a very gentle person, Yuuki."
After hearing the whole story, Wu Daogui felt a lump in his throat. After a while, he gave his evaluation.
"Actually, it wasn't that you were lucky, but that your actions proved yourself. It was your way of handling things that gave everyone enough trust, which is why so many people were willing to speak up for you afterward."
Seeing Yuuki raise his head, Wu Dao Guihu smiled and said, "They are just like me now, Yuuki. There are many people who have always believed in you."
Wu Daoguihu's words warmed Yuxing's heart, and he fell silent.
Just when Wu Dao Gui Hu thought he had comforted You Zi, You Zi suddenly asked:
"Ha...then why did you point a gun at me the first time you saw me?"
"What happened to trusting me?"
This question instantly froze Wu Daogui's smile on his lips.
A few seconds later, a roar came from the ward, startling the nurses passing by outside.
"Haruno Yuuki, if I ever try to comfort you again, I, Wudao Guihu, am nothing but a dog!"
Chapter 28 A Journey of the Soul: The Widow
After several days of rest, Yuuki was discharged from the hospital along with Wu Daogui.
The two walked out of the World Tree Foundation and stopped at the entrance.
"I still need to coordinate things at the old teaching building, so I won't take you back."
Wu Dao Guihu, dressed in a black combat uniform, tossed the card in his hand to Youxing.
"This is?"
Yuuki looked at the completely black card in her hand, somewhat puzzled.
At Kureshima Takatomo's instruction, Yuuki flipped the card over.
On the other side of the card, a line of gilded lettering is embedded in the center.
[Special Advisor to the World Tree Foundation: Haruno Yuuki]
After Yuuki read the contents clearly, she held the identity card as if it were a hot potato and wanted to throw it back, but was stopped by Wu Dao Guihu.
“I know you don’t want to join the World Tree Foundation, but sometimes having multiple identities isn’t a bad thing.”
"This card will be a great help, at least in certain situations."
"Besides, you can't possibly never come to the World Tree Foundation again, can you?"
"Your body... has some devices that can only be found inside the World Tree."
Yu Xing fell silent. In truth, he didn't care much about what had happened before, but when it came to his own health, he couldn't ignore it.
Even after the electric shock and the rest he's had these past few days, he still feels an indescribable sense of fullness in his body.
Yu Xing was certain that once his emotions fluctuated drastically, his body would revert to the form of an alien.
His will was already somewhat unable to control this body with its immense power.
"I understand."
After hesitating for a moment, Yuuki accepted the card. He looked at Guihu and said, "But you don't need to worry too much about my health. Someone may have given me a solution."
Yuuki remembers that in his memory, Yusuke Godai said he wanted to continue his journey of the soul.
The so-called "spiritual journey" may be a way to strengthen his will.
However, Yuuki is still somewhat unclear about what this spiritual journey is all about.
He told Wu Daogui about his speculation.
Guihu pondered for a moment: "I'm not sure what it specifically refers to either."
"But I will use my internal channels to check ancient books for you to see if there is a specific explanation for this word."
