Azure Files, the starting point of all miracles

The girl shook her head.

No surprises.

In response to this, Xiyu sighed softly after a brief silence.

[I am not the one you are waiting for...]

[The world outside has already become chaotic, it would be safer for you to stay here.]

[I will help you clear out the monsters around you and prevent them from finding their way here again.]

[…Do you understand what I mean? ]

【…】

The girl remained silent, looking at Xiyu with a pair of clear eyes.

After a while, she nodded.

[…I understand.]

After confirming the girl's response, Xiyu also nodded.

However, before he could take a few steps, the sound of footsteps behind him made him frown slightly.

[Do you...really understand what I mean? ]

【…】

Facing Xiyu's gaze, the girl nodded.

But then, as if he had thought of something, he shook his head.

Although she didn't say a word during the whole process, Xiyu could understand her thoughts without knowing how to say it.

I understand, but I don't want to be left behind.

Xiyu: ...

At the same time, the girls outside saw this scene and showed subtle expressions.

In response to this, Xiyu in real life couldn't help but reveal an embarrassed expression.

"Sorry, everyone... this is who I used to be."

"Are you... disappointed?"

"disappointment?"

I thought I would get a positive response, but what Xiyu was greeted with next were the girls' expressions of confusion.

“Why are you disappointed with the teacher?”

"Teacher, your words are really strange."

"If you mean what happened on the screen, then it's probably because the teacher has other reasons."

Weihua and the other girls spoke one by one, their faces filled with unreserved trust.

"Because, teacher, you are not a cold person."

If it was a teacher, he must have his own reasons - with this thought in mind, none of Weihua and the others were disappointed in Xiyu.

As for the subtle expression at the beginning——

"I really didn't expect that the teacher would have such a tsundere side~"

"How cute~"

Xiyu: “…”

Looking at these children, Xiyu was both moved and helpless about their unreserved trust in her.

No one is perfect.

There is no such thing as perfection in this world.

Is it really a good thing for them to trust themselves so unreservedly?

Strange thoughts came to my mind.

But it was only a brief moment before he was abandoned by Xiyu.

Since they trust me like this, I should try my best to meet their expectations.

Being timid and stopping because of fear of failure will actually betray the trust of these children.

At this moment, Xiyu's heart was filled with energy.

And the facts did not disappoint these children - even though Xiyu on the screen did not intend to take the white-haired girl with him at first, he chose to take her with him soon after.

In this way, the young man with an empty heart and the girl who had forgotten her past embarked on the journey of finding themselves together.

Chapter 62: Sensei's Life

【I am a person with nothing. 】

【It has no value.】

【No one will expect you to do this. 】

[Nor will you be needed by others. ]

[As someone like me, why can I still live well in this world? 】

[Why do those people with hope die one after another, but someone like me with a void and emptiness inside can survive? ]

The empty eyes looked up at the sky, but unfortunately this dark sky could not give any answers.

He could only continue to wander around this land in confusion...

"..."

Although I have already let it go, looking at the past from a third party's perspective, it still feels a little subtle.

Looking at himself on the screen, Xiyu's mouth twitched slightly.

At the same time, the children around him had already surrounded him tightly, and it seemed as if they were afraid that he would disappear in the next second.

Just as her past self had shown, Xiyu's childhood was not a happy one.

Because of some family reasons, I was raised by my parents as a tool for revenge.

Although he had been instilled with all kinds of vicious thoughts since he was a child, he miraculously did not grow up to be a negative person.

Because she failed to meet her parents' expectations, Xiyu was eventually abandoned.

Not being able to receive a normal education as a child and being abandoned in the process of growing up, coupled with the disappointing words from his parents at the end, made Xiyu's heart feel even more empty.

He originally planned to end his life, but due to some coincidences, he was involved in a terrible disaster.

In this incident known as "Zoo Ghost Story", he was saved by the security staff inside.

Even to this day, he still hasn't forgotten the figure who died heroically to protect others.

All this made Xiyu's empty heart feel filled for the first time.

But more of it is doubt.

He didn't understand why the man did that.

He obviously has a wife who loves him and a well-behaved daughter.

He still had a wonderful life ahead of him, but he was able to sacrifice himself for others.

Xiyu didn't understand.

But he felt that the man should not die like this.

So in order to find the answer, Xiyu began his "clumsy" imitation.

Imitate the security guard who first extended a helping hand to him, save others, and live for others.

In this way, even if I am such a vain self, at the moment of death, I will surely be able to...

……

...

Did you find the answer?

Xiyu didn’t know.

But obviously, he was not dead.

First it was "Zoo", then "Daluoshan".

Along the way, he has witnessed too many sacrifices of ordinary yet great and hopeful people.

They all had wonderful lives, but in the end, without exception, they died for their own emptiness and worthlessness.

As he carried more and more lives, the emptiness in his heart was gradually replaced by doubts and confusion.

In order to find the answer, Xiyu could only take everything with him and continue moving forward.

Finally, the shadow of Mount Daluo was removed.

And he finally got his wish and welcomed his own ending.

So, is he dead?

……

Apparently, no.

Do you have the answer?

Apparently, still no.

why?

Why could someone like him, who was empty inside and worthless, survive, while those who had hope and a bright future had to die?

"..."

Why why why? ×n

Repeating it over and over again in a bland and empty tone.

Until a new turning point appeared before his eyes.

It was a pure lily.

Deep within those clear eyes, there was a void similar to mine.

This child lost everything.

Family, friends, memories, even names.

Everything ceases to exist.

The only thing left is this empty shell.

Different from him, but with the same goal.

At first, Xiyu didn't intend to have too much involvement with her.

But unconsciously, his thoughts changed.

Since you can't find the answer yourself, look for it in others.

With this thought in mind, the dark knight and the pure girl embarked on a journey called "redemption" together.

----

----

After defeating several rounds of attacks from the "dirty ghosts", Xiyu and the girl finally reached the upper floor of the building.

It turns out they had been underground before.

At this moment, in front of the gate leading to the outside world, stood a petite figure.

Although she was thin, she was holding a huge chain hammer tightly. The nun's uniform that represented purity had long been stained with blood - just like her eyes that exuded a bloodthirsty light and had long lost their former gentleness.

After seeing the two people appear, the nun immediately raised her weapon and rushed towards them; and Xiyu also immediately protected the girl behind her and faced the enemy's attack head-on.
