Swordsman Returns from Another World

In order to celebrate the return of the doctor, the operators gave a lot of gifts. Wu Lian and other girls bought a huge teddy bear and piled it on the sofa.

The wall hanging given by Lin Guang, engraved with the pattern of Casimir, echoes the hand-embroidered Rhodes Island logo given by senior operators such as Furong on the other wall.

In the corner was a sled that Andchel had made, perhaps made together with Katie's.

There were all sorts of small ornaments on the reception table, window paper-cuts that were pasted on the windows by an unknown operator, small safety signs on the door frame, and placards hanging on the wall next to the bed...

The room was so cozy that W wanted to vomit.

It looks like a room full of childlike fun, like a young child receiving blessings from friends and family, and each gift represents expectation and love.

He is loved.

When W thought of this, he felt that the anger in his heart could not be concealed.

Why? Why?

Why on earth would you be welcomed and... loved by everyone as soon as you come back after sleeping for so long, abandoning us for so long, and committing such a big mistake?!

Can such false warmth cover up the mistakes you made in the past? !

With such anger, W walked towards Baiyue's bed. Even his quilt was embroidered with patterns embroidered by the operators themselves. Some of the stitches were skillful, while others were shapeless and crooked.

W came to the bedside and looked inside.

Baiyou was sleeping soundly wrapped in a quilt, and the roots of her originally red hair had shown signs of turning white, for some unknown reason.

The clothes that were wet from the rain were thrown on the ground casually, and the hair still seemed a little wet. The hair on the ears stuck to the face, making her look so... fragile.

Even though he was sleeping, his brows were furrowed and he looked very uneasy.

W looked at him coldly: "Are you really asleep?"

"You just finished something so big, and you came back and fell asleep right away. That's not like you."

As if she heard W's whisper, Bai You frowned slightly, tilted her head and rubbed the pillow, but there was no sign of waking up.

Seeing this, W became even angrier. She leaned over and grabbed Baiyou's quilt.

“?!” Baiyou suddenly opened his eyes.

The anger and murderous intent in those eyes, the fierceness as if one was in a nightmare even when asleep, made W squint his eyes reflexively.

"Your eyes...what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" W laughed.

Seeing that it was W, Bai You was a little confused. The malice in his eyes that came from the nightmare disappeared, and he half-closed his eyes sleepily, "Strange... Why are you here?"

"You assigned me a task, Doctor, and then came back to sleep without asking any questions. Isn't it reasonable for me to be here?!" W spread his hands and laughed sarcastically: "How about I take your life?!"

Bai You rubbed her eyes and sat up. She sighed and said, "I'm sorry, Sister W."

"It was indeed my fault for neglecting it. I stayed up late for several nights and was really tired. I fell asleep as soon as I got home."

W was stunned when she heard this straightforward apology, but she immediately said angrily: "Who told you to call me that? You bastard!"

She walked forward, stretched out her hand, and grabbed Baiyou's neck, her eyes full of anger: "Don't call me that, don't!"

"I'm not your sister W. I'm here to kill you, Doctor!"

"Do you think you can forgive your sins just by saying sorry?"

"Why did you assign me a task like that? Why do you think I will definitely help you?!"

Even though his neck was strangled, Bai You did not show any anger. He just stared at W quietly with an innocent look.

"I don't know." Bai You said frankly, "I don't know what mistakes I made in the past, Sister W. I just felt that I could trust you the moment I saw you."

He touched W's wrist with his backhand: "I heard from Scout that I was an evil spirit in the past, a bastard who didn't care about the sacrifices of the operators."

"I don't think I'm that kind of person, Sister W. You saw everything I did. Now please tell me, am I that kind of person?"

Baiyou looked directly at W with clear eyes.

"When I was in Chernobyl, when I wanted to change the Reunion Movement and change the tragedy of Chernobyl, I chose to trust you without reservation, Sister W. I believe you can complete the task, and I believe you will agree to my request."

“…Yes, Sister W, I am relying on you.”

I am relying on you.

Just as W had thought at the beginning, she was happy at that time that the doctor, who was trapped in the enemy camp, could only rely on her. The guy who used to be able to plan and strategize and seemed to be able to handle anything, finally gave in.

But later W discovered that it seemed that he had instigated the Integration Movement, which made W feel that she was still just a part of the plan, which made her annoyed and angry.

But now, hearing Bai You admitting his vulnerability face to face, W fell into confusion.

"If it weren't for you, W, I wouldn't be able to pass the message to Hedley to call for the drone, I wouldn't be able to wait for Chen and others' support, and I wouldn't be able to shut down the core city as quickly as possible. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have achieved such success today."

"The slums of Longmen will be destroyed, and people all over the world will not know Kosice's conspiracy. Without Chen's True Chixiao, I will not be able to force Kosice to leave."

Baiyou moved W's hand away from her neck and held it tightly with both hands.

Let her feel the warmth of your hands.

"W, you saved a lot of people during the operation here."

It's not about completing a mission or fulfilling a mercenary's duties, but about saving people.

I...save people?

This word is so unfamiliar to W.

Chapter 96: W, Let’s Sleep Together

Baiyue strikes while the iron is hot: "You saved me, W."

"I lost my memory. You could have ignored my orders. You could have stood aside and watched me and the Reunion go down together. When the city was destroyed and the buildings were burned up in flames, you could have stood on top of the ruins, watching the explosions and laughing wildly, mocking my naivety and stupidity."

"But you didn't do that, you helped me, W."

"You saved me, absolutely." Baiyou held W's hand tightly and said softly.

I'm saving people.

Yes, I was saving people, and I saved the boy in front of me, a boy who had lost his memory but chose to believe in me when we first met.

W felt her nose getting a little sour. She thought she was... inhuman. She thought she could just watch the war happen coldly, watching tragedies take lives one after another. She thought she could look at everything with a sneer.

Except for that man's death, except for the young man in front of him.

"What is this?" W choked, his face full of self-doubt: "What is this? Doctor?"

"…What the hell is this!?" W shook off Baiyou's hand: "Why, why did you become like this?!"

"Why did you lose your memory? Why the hell did you become a good person?!" She clenched her fists, with disbelief in her eyes.

"Then what am I? What is the hatred that I have held for so long? What are those people who died because of you? What is the life I have lived for so long?!"

Baiyou pulled her hand up again and slowly put it around her neck.

The eyes are determined.

"If it gives you satisfaction, do it."

Bai You took a deep breath and moved closer to W's face. There was less than a fist's distance between them. W's hands were clasped on his neck. He could feel his pulse and the Adam's apple trembling as he spoke.

"If killing me can bring you peace of mind, then give it a try, W."

W couldn't do it.

She really wanted to close her hands, she really wanted to strangle the boy in front of her, but for some reason, her hands seemed not to belong to her, no matter how she moved, she couldn't do anything.

Theresa wouldn't want him dead.

"You deserve to die..." W's voice was filled with tears and he couldn't maintain his smile.

She lowered her head and rested it on Baiyou's chest. She grabbed Baiyou's neck with both hands, but she couldn't tighten her grip or exert any force.

"Why, why didn't you come earlier...why did you sleep so long, why didn't you explain it to me clearly, why, why..."

"Why didn't you become like this sooner..."

Her voice trembled and choked, and Bai You stretched out her hands and hugged W.

After a long time, as if tired of crying, W pushed Baiyou's chest hard.

"Hey, stinky brother." She sniffed.

"Hmm?" Baiyou replied softly.

"Is there any room on the island?"

"Yes." Baiyou said softly, "But I'm so sleepy now, can you let me sleep first?"

W rubbed his head against Baiyue's chest and hummed a nasal sound: "Hmm."

She slowly let go of Baiyue's neck and whispered, "I still want to kill you, but at least you are a good person now."

"I don't want to kill good people. That's what Theresa said, so I'll be obedient, but I have to keep a close eye on you."

"If you turn into an evil spirit again, I will definitely take your life." She raised her head, her eyes filled with cold murderous intent, as well as sadness and pleading.

Beg him not to turn back into an evil spirit.

"do you understand?"

Baiyue nodded.

"...Go to sleep, I want to go back." W whispered.

"Can't you stay?" Baiyou asked back.

W froze, she lowered her head and said, "Aren't you afraid of me?"

"Don't be afraid. On the contrary, I will sleep peacefully with you by my side. Otherwise... you saw me having a nightmare just now." Bai Yu scratched his head: "I dreamed of some... very bad things. Just talking about them makes me feel cold all over."

Hearing this, W said with a nostalgic tone: "I was like that at the beginning, too. Sometimes...ah, occasionally, I would have nightmares."

"I dreamed that the people I killed turned into potatoes in my hand and chased me and bit me. The next day, Theresa would give me candy and Ines would occasionally tell me stories."

"The candy you gave me before was delicious." W added.

Baiyue shrank back into the quilt, lifted a corner of the quilt, and whispered, "Do you want to sleep together?"

"...My clothes are still wet. Besides, don't you know what shame is?" W glared at him.

Baiyou blinked innocently, as if to say, "I'm just a kid and I don't know anything."

But that fully developed body is completely different from the little child we saw before!

W thought angrily.

"But you are the only one I can rely on now, Sister W..."

W immediately became furious when he heard this: "You can't say that! You can't say that!"

She raised her hand and stared at Bai You's nose: "Don't say that anymore! You can't say that! You can't!"

"You are a man. You are the doctor of Rhodes Island, the savior of the infected, and the one who solved the Reunion Movement. Do you understand? You can't act pitiful and pretend to be pitiful to gain sympathy! Do you understand?"

"...Then do you want to come? Sister W must be very tired. It will take a long time to rest if she goes back now. Why don't you come with me?" Bai You blinked, not moved at all.

"Shut up, shut up, shut up!" W pointed at the wall next to him and said, "Turn around!"

Baiyue nodded and turned her head to the other side.

Behind him, there was a rustling sound.

There was also W's exasperated voice: "Why don't you have a spare quilt in your closet?! Never mind, a blanket will do!"

After a long time, he felt a body slowly get on the bed and lie down beside him.

After a while, a cold finger reached out and poked his back.

"...Will you still have nightmares, like this?"

"...I can help you with my hands."

Baiyue lay down flat on her back, and just as she was about to look towards W, she felt a hand pressing on her cheek, "Don't turn your head."

Baiyou had no choice but to give up. He stretched out his right hand from under the quilt and reached towards W.

W's hand touched his lightly, and she first shrank back in fear, then slowly stretched out and held his hand.

"Go to sleep, Doctor. You'll have a good sleep with me here."

"Yeah." Baiyou responded with her eyes closed, and then said wearily: "Don't leave me, W."
