Why play in a band if you don't form one for life?

Shizi nodded. Kita was the first to discover the growth of [Spiritual Power]. After asking CHU? and the others, he found that none of them had this experience.

"There's no change in my [Spiritual Power]," Yukina said after confirming.

Shiko and Kita looked at each other. After asking around, they were the only two who were special. What do they have in common? Shiko pondered. They are both very cute... The question is, who among you is not a beautiful girl? Well... they all have skills given by their seniors... This is more serious, but what does it mean?

While the two of them were silently speculating, CHU? asked Yukina for combat practice again.

"There is indeed no such facility on the airship. After all, the airship itself cannot withstand high-intensity damage." You Xina frowned, "But the battle cannot be ignored... Mr. Wu, are we flying to the place where the next newcomer is now? Are we almost there? If so, let her go with you."

"Ah? Ah. Let me see." Shizi checked the map in her mind. CHU? looked into her eyes carefully, trying to peek inside. She had always been curious about what this map of Shizi was, but unfortunately she couldn't tell at a glance.

"Well... it's over..." Shizi's eyes were dull. The airship had already flown over the area where the newcomers were. It was probably not long before she woke up.

Fortunately, it doesn’t take long to fly back.

The area where the newlyweds were located was a mountain range. In the midsummer sunshine, the undulating green was full of moisture, and the morning mist had not yet completely dissipated, dispelling the increasingly strong summer heat.

The mountain wasn't too steep, and the trees weren't too tall, but there wasn't a large area of flat land, so it wasn't convenient to land directly. The airship hovered at low altitude, with the side door open. After withstanding the strong wind, CHU? leaned over to the door, looked down, and was eager to try: "Do you want me to make an emergency landing? My armor should be fine at this altitude."

According to Shizi, the newcomers will become her team members, so she is now very motivated.

Behind her, Pareo grabbed her and said, "Master CHU, it's dangerous over there..."

Shizi held up a microphone facing the door. The microphone was not turned on, just for show. Liang had already prepared the bass. "Hey, hey--" Shizi's voice was amplified by Liang and spread to the bottom, causing howling sounds in the forest. Shizi ignored them and continued to broadcast: "Attention, people down there, you have been surrounded... Bah, I mean, the one down there, we are here to support you, please find a clearing so that we can see where you are, thank you!"

She read the words in Japanese, Chinese, and English. However, after repeating them, there was no movement below except for the commotion of the monsters.

Shizi turned around and faced everyone, with a look of regret: "It seems that she is also sleeping in."

"Maybe you don't trust us very much?" Yukina said.

"Is there something wrong?" Chu frowned. If PAREO hadn't stopped her, she would have activated [Apocalypse] and jumped down. She didn't want anything to happen at this critical moment.

Shizi scanned the outside again and found no trace of anyone. She also had a bad feeling growing in her heart.

She was silent for a long time: "... Let's go down. CHU?, can you take me with you?"

CHU? grinned: "As long as you don't scream out of fright!" The earphones changed, and the black iron armor instantly covered her body. She grabbed it, picked up Shizi by the waist, and jumped down. The armor fell freely, like a black meteorite falling from the sky, and the ground came in an instant! Before it was about to hit, flames shot out from the bottom of the armor, forming a recoil force, and finally landed steadily on the ground.

CHU? put Shizi down: "You really didn't scream." Her tone sounded a little bored.

“Ahhhhh————”

At this time, Shizi began to scream miserably.

"..." CHU?'s expression was hidden under his armor, "You are really a talent."

She looked around. This was a mountaintop with sparse trees and a wide view.

Kita's voice came from above: "Are you alright?"

Shizi shut up and stepped on the ground with her right foot. The soil on the ground turned over and words appeared in response. In the turned soil, a stone cone came uncontrollably towards Shizi. Before Shizi could block it, a beam of light came from the side and shattered it. She looked at CHU?. CHU?'s sarcastic sarcasm came from the armor: "You can't react to this?"

CHU? While taunting, he fought back and instantly killed a shadow in the dark with one strike.

Shizi was not angry at all, but felt like laughing. No matter what, having reliable teammates is a good thing, especially such a sharp and cute teammate. She waved her right hand, and the words on the ground continued to change: "You stay behind, we will find someone."

CHU? suddenly turned in one direction. Shizi immediately looked at her: "What's wrong?"

"...The smell of blood was detected." CHU?'s tone was solemn, "The AI discovered it."

Shizi's heart skipped a beat.

Without having time to notify her superiors, she immediately rushed in that direction. CHU? immediately followed her, and neither of them spoke.

There was no cleared path on the hillside, only a maze of trees and weeds. The two moved between the trees, removing obstacles on the way. Under Shizi's control, the airship followed the two, but the people on it were blocked by the branches and leaves, so they dared not take action at will.

She didn't know how far she ran. Shizi only knew that she almost fell many times, almost slipped down the hillside, and almost got ambushed, but she didn't have time to care about these. She bypassed one tree after another, passed through one grass after another, leaving behind one puff of black smoke after another.

The smell of blood grew stronger, until even she could smell it.

Pass through the last clump of trees.

Soon I understood——

A head with its eyes open was abandoned in a pile of weeds.

Shizi opened his eyes and saw the ground was covered with blood.

Broken limbs, bones, flesh and blood.

"He Zou... Rui Yi..." Beside Shi Zi, CHU? gritted his teeth and uttered the name.

ps: I will make up for the third update today ~ at 21:10 ~

Chapter 100 Even if I reincarnate times

blood.

Dead body.

Ruins and broken walls.

The eyes of the corpse were staring straight at her.

"Shizi!" Shizi was hit hard in the back, and her eyes were shaken, returning to reality. She covered her mouth and gasped heavily. Turning her head, CHU? stared into her eyes. Through the iron sheet, she couldn't see her expression, but it was enough.

"...Calm down." CHU? was holding it in for a long time and only managed to say this sentence.

Shizi nodded in gratitude, and slowly stepped over the blood-soaked soil to the head with wide-open eyes. Disbelief was still frozen in the lifeless pupils.

Shizi half-knelt down and gently closed her eyelids.

As soon as you touch it, you know it is real flesh and blood.

CHU? ended his search of the vicinity and walked towards Shizi.

Shizi looked at her and she just shook her head.

"We're late," Chu said. She kicked the wrist-thick tree trunk at her feet angrily, and the trunk snapped and fell towards her. She punched it, and the trunk fell backwards to the ground, shaking up the dust.

Shizi clenched his fists. His palms were full of blood, and he didn't know whether it was his or Ruiyi's.

If I had come earlier...

She held Hezou Ruiyi's head in her arms, stood up, turned and left.

It's time to go back.

At this moment, the head in Shizi's arms shook.

Shizi stopped walking. She opened her lips slightly and looked into her arms. The head was struggling violently, trying to get out of her control. Shizi let go of her hands, and the head flew up into the air, floating in front of her. The flesh at the broken end trembled and grew rapidly.

Bones, flesh, and hair.

Under their eyes, little by little, a head grew into a complete person and stood in front of them.

The girl in front of him was completely naked, with no signs of injury on her body. She suddenly covered her head, her voice still dazed from just waking up.

"Ah...it hurts..."

Her tightly closed eyelids opened and she saw a man and a mecha in front of her.

blinked.

"Um...you are..."

The gray-haired girl suddenly hugged her. Rui Yi only heard her crying in her ear, "Still alive! Still alive!" Such words, her skin all over her body was rubbed by the rough cloth, and her mind was blank for a moment: "Okay, okay, still alive, can you give me some clothes first..."

On the airship, He Zou Ruiyi, who was already dressed neatly, bowed to everyone: "Nice to meet you. I am He Zou Ruiyi." She searched the crowd with her eyes and seemed a little disappointed.

"Resurrection coin... so powerful..." Yazi exclaimed.

“No, no,” Rui Yi smiled and waved her hand, looking behind her, “It seems that this ability has caused some misunderstandings.”

"There is no misunderstanding!" Shizi interrupted her with a red face, "Anyway, welcome Ruiyi to join our big family, congratulations..." She clapped her hands alone.

"Anyway, it's fine!" Chu? had already left the armor. She grabbed Rui's hand and said, "Join my band, Rui and Zou!"

"Let's go to the recording studio now and let me see how good you are now..." She pulled Ruiyi and was about to leave.

"Wait, wait!" Lisa stopped her immediately. "Are you in such a hurry? We haven't even finished introducing ourselves yet."

After the noisy welcome, CHU? and the others disappeared. Shizi took Ruiyi to choose a room.

Looking at Ruiyi's figure, Shizi's mind was still on the impulsive hug just now. Ruiyi didn't think much about it. Rather, the novelty brought to her by arriving in a new environment all of a sudden made her unable to pay attention to those things.

"Such a huge airship was built entirely by you guys, it's amazing..." she praised sincerely.

"Well, it's okay..." Shizi responded casually, "Well, I wonder if I can ask... CHU? Have you invited Ruiyi before?"

She saw that Ruiyi seemed to be very familiar with CHU.

"Well," Rui Yi replied, "I refused at the time."

A little bit of gloom rose in Shizi's heart, but it eventually turned into a sigh and disappeared, leaving only a little curiosity.

"……why?"

Rui Yi ignored her questioning: "Because I was busy with other things at the time. I was looking for someone who came into this world after you, her name is Hanazono Duohui."

"I didn't see her here just now..."

Shizi's eyes lit up.

"A little disappointed?" she asked in a teasing tone.

Ruiyi quickly denied: "No, no, it's just..."

Shizi looked into her eyes.

Rui Yi chuckled: "Well, a little bit."

Shizi also smiled back: "It's okay, we are looking for her too."

"Eh? Really?" Ruiyi's expression changed immediately. Her originally sisterly and polite face with this expression made Shizi unconsciously stunned: "To be precise, I'm looking for the entire Poppin'Party... I'll tell you the details later, look, we're here."

Shizi stopped walking, they had already reached the accommodation area. "This side has natural light, but this side doesn't. You don't have the ability to emit light yourself, so it's better to choose this side..." She began to give instructions. Ruiyi seemed to want to ask about what she had said before, but since the topic had changed, she could only follow the topic and suppress her urgency for the time being.

She quickly chose the room, between MASKING and PAREO.

As soon as Shizi put his hand on the door handle, Ruiyi asked anxiously: "Regarding the previous topic..."

"Hey! Rui Yi Hezou!" The door suddenly opened and a loud voice interrupted her.

CHU? was standing inside the door. She was standing behind the door with her hands on her hips, resting her feet on a stool. It was obvious that she had been waiting for a long time.

"..." The two looked at her in silence.

"Why are you here?" Shizi asked.

"I guess she will choose this room, so she'll wait here. PAREO and MASKING will wait in other empty rooms." She replied, and then turned to Rui Yi, "Let's not talk about this, join my band now!"

"Wait." Rui Yi couldn't stand her enthusiasm. "I still have something to know."

"What about Duohui Garden?" Chu immediately responded, "Then Shizi, tell her quickly."

After all, Shizi was an insider about Ruiyi and Duohui's affairs. After hearing what they said, he had guessed what had happened.

So, she explained about the map and their current goal.

After listening to Shizi's description, Ruiyi's eyes seemed to relax. She turned to CHU? and said, "In that case, I have no problem. I can join your band, CHU?, as long as you don't mind. After all, I haven't touched the bass for a long time."

"Wait," Shizi interrupted them, "After saying so much, why don't you explain?"

Ruiyi gave Shizi an apologetic smile and began to describe her experience.

After Poppin'Party disappeared, like Hinata, Ruiyi immediately gave up all school activities and devoted herself to searching for her childhood sweetheart, Hanazono Tae, whom she hadn't seen for many years. In order to make a living, she still occasionally did some supporting work. It was unknown which performance she was noticed by CHU? and she received an invitation, but she refused at the time because she "didn't have time to play in a band." Whenever she had time, she would post missing person notices all over the street, investigate everyone at the scene of the disappearance, the family members of the missing person, and the people related to them one by one, and stepped into the threshold of the Metropolitan Police Department again and again, but of course she found nothing.
