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

Yu Xing nodded: "Thanks. Besides this, there's something else I need your help with."

"I want you to investigate where I lived before I came to Zeya City, the sooner the better."

Seeing Guihu's surprised expression, Youxing explained, "Although I remember what happened before, I always feel like there's something wrong with my memory."

Memory may not be reliable, but the traces left in reality are definitely real.

"Yes, I'll check it out as soon as possible."

Guihu agreed, then glanced at his watch: "I have to go."

Guihu didn't want to delay things over the old teaching building; every minute it remained there increased the danger.

Just as he was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of a figure rushing out of the flower bed next to them and lunging straight at them.

"careful!"

Guihu hurriedly reminded him and prepared to help Youxing, but Youxing reacted faster and easily dodged the person who pounced on her.

The security guards patrolling around the World Tree Foundation saw this and quickly gathered in this direction.

They didn't know Yuuki, but they knew the person standing next to her!

"To launch an attack under the guise of the World Tree Foundation is incredibly audacious."

Wu Daogui examined the woman who had fallen to the ground and frowned.

The woman's clothes weren't bad, but they were covered in dust, and her hair was very greasy, indicating that she had been lying in wait there for a long time.

But what could possibly be so compelling as to send a woman out to attack them at this moment?

Yuuki circled back to Guihu's side, still unable to understand why this woman had rushed out at this moment.

"Mr. Guihu!"

While the two were pondering, the surrounding security guards had already pinned the woman to the ground, and the captain-like man saluted Wu Daogui.

"Ah."

Wu Daogui responded coldly, waving his hand at him: "Let him go."

"Can..."

The security captain was sweating profusely; if the woman attacked again, he wouldn't have enough heads to lose.

"I said let go, so I let go."

Wu Dao Guihu was getting impatient. Could someone possibly attack Yuxing in front of him?

Even in her normal human form, Yuuki's strength and speed far surpass those of an ordinary person.

"understand!"

The security captain dared not act rashly and quickly released the woman.

As soon as the woman was released, she immediately got up and rushed to the two men's side.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

Wu Daogui didn't mind that the woman was dirty, and helped her up.

When the woman's face was fully exposed, Guihu realized that her eyes were already swollen and red, with blood trickling from the corners of her eyes down her cheeks.

With Guihu's help, she shakily took a piece of paper out of her pocket and handed it to Guihu.

Yu Xing leaned closer and discovered that there was a man drawn on it, with his name and identity written below.

"A member of the World Tree Foundation's security team..."

After the two men silently finished reading the information on the paper, the woman spoke, her voice unusually hoarse: "You two leaders, you must know him, right?"

"They all say my husband disappeared in the chemical explosion, but I don't believe it..."

Yuuki glanced at Takato and noticed that Takato's expression was very serious, so serious that it was completely unlike his usual self.

"he is?"

Yuuki gave him a look, but Guihu didn't respond. Instead, he sighed and gripped the woman's hand tightly.

"Madam, it is indeed true that your husband tragically went missing in that chemical explosion."

"But how could that be...? He's clearly a very cautious person, and he's always very careful about safety precautions..."

The woman couldn't believe it, and tears of blood streamed down her face once more.

But Wu Daogui was unable to explain the truth to the woman, and that truth would forever remain buried in his heart.

Encountering such terrifying aliens, no matter how careful you are, you cannot escape being torn to pieces.

Yuuki pursed his lips, and as someone who knew the truth, he could only remain silent like Guihu.

"Excuse me, ma'am, please take a rest."

Seeing the woman who had fainted from crying, Wu Daogui felt an indescribable sadness.

It all started with the appearance of Helheim, but the past cannot be changed, and they can only try their best to move forward.

The woman was carried away by medical staff. Wu Daoguihu clutched the piece of paper that had been left behind and sighed softly.

Yuuki moved closer to Guihu, looked at the person in the portrait, and felt that he looked somewhat familiar. He asked, "Have I seen this person before?"

Guihu glanced at Youxing: "Of course you've seen him. He was the captain who first discovered you."

Yu Xing paused, then whispered, "I was saying I wanted to see him... I never imagined he'd die in that incident?"

"Human life is very fragile, which is one of the reasons why we launched Project Ark."

Wu Daogui squeezed the paper into a ball and held it tightly in his palm.

"But you are special, Yuuki. You are born with the power to fight against misfortune."

Yuuki was one of the few who could remain conscious after eating the fruit.

"Haha, I'm going back now."

Yuuki didn't respond to Guihu's words. His mind was in a mess, so he made up an excuse and fled as if he were escaping.

Chapter 29 Picture Book Choice

He ran all the way home, and Yu Xing slammed the door of his rented room shut. He was panting, but Gui Hu's words kept echoing in his mind.

"Possessing the power to combat misfortune..."

The furnishings inside were familiar, with only a table and chairs and a black bed, but Youxing's mindset couldn't return to when she first lived here.

He murmured Guihu's words, his heart filled with conflict.

"They talk about the power to fight misfortune, but that power itself means misfortune."

He slid slowly down the door and sat on the floor, letting out a bitter laugh.

How much courage does it take for someone already mired in misfortune to extend a helping hand to others?

"I haven't done anything to harm the world, which is already a huge contribution."

All he ever wanted was to escape the vortex of misfortune and live a good life.

Even after going through so much with Wu Dao Guihu, he never thought of taking the initiative to resolve the danger; he only chose to erupt when he was forced into a passive position.

It's not that he doesn't want to take the initiative to solve it, but that he can't; he doesn't have the courage.

"Is fighting against misfortune something someone like me should do? I'd probably only bring more bad luck to others."

He slowly got up from the ground and caught the picture book that fell right over his head.

Yuuki wiped the dust off the outside of the picture book. This was the only trace left from Yuuki's high school days, and also the only gift Yuuki received.

But by now, the color of its outer shell had faded, and the little figures painted on it no longer had the colors of the past.

"When you suddenly fall down at this moment, are you trying to comfort me, or to hurt me?"

Yu Xing murmured to herself as she slowly unfolded the picture book to the first page.

An ugly-cute black dragon leaps off the page, and below it is a tiny human figure.

On the other hand, there is a red fire that has soaked through the paper.

Yu Xing stroked the paper and chuckled softly.

The story I told Wu Daoguihu before wasn't entirely accurate.

How could the main character of the story be a dragon like him?

How could an ordinary person dare to provoke a dragon with endless malice in its heart?

That was the first time he had stepped in to save someone since high school, and it was also the most correct thing Yuuki had ever done, but he only had the courage to do it once.

Yu Xing lowered his eyes. He was selfish, cowardly, and even plagued by bad luck.

How can someone like that be expected to give more or save more people?

"Ding dong!"

The doorbell suddenly rang, startling Yuuki from her reverie of dark thoughts.

Who could be coming to him at this time?

He rubbed his face, placed the picture book on the cabinet next to him, and then opened the door.

"Ta-da!"

As soon as the door opened, Manatsu, who had been waiting for so long, didn't pay attention to what was in front of her and rushed into the room, bumping into Yuuki's arms.

The powerful blow caused Yuuki, who was caught off guard, to lose his balance. He quickly grabbed the girl, and with a cry of surprise, the two fell to the ground.

"hiss..."

Although his body was stronger than before, this still made Yuuki cry out in pain.

"Yuyuki!"

Noticing Yuuki's pained expression, Manatsu, who was being protected by Yuuki, quickly got up and pulled Yuuki up as well.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Guihu said you were back, so I rushed over."

She apologized repeatedly, but Yuuki waved her hand, somewhat helplessly: "Manatsu, you really shouldn't be so reckless next time."
