Offer a savior to the infinite world!

He really wanted to teach the other person a lesson, but Gu Mingdi had a feeling that if he really said it, Lin Yi would probably say something like, "So this kind of thing is offensive? Oh, I'm so sorry, I'll pay attention next time." Although this man was quite reliable in battle, his emotional intelligence in daily life, especially when it came to girls, was incredibly low, which made people wonder if there was something wrong with his brain development.

"Let's reunite with the others as soon as possible."

Komeiji Kaku said this, holding a set of clothes reserved for Ritsuka, and then took the lead.

"These clothes seem to be for young girls."

Lin Yi, who was following beside him, looked at the clothes which were slightly larger than the size on Gu Mingdijue and estimated to be 155cm tall, and spoke after thinking about it.

"It has not been used for at least 60 years. Although there is no dust in this place, the clothes themselves still have some characteristics. Whoever lived here before is likely in a state of being unable to function normally."

As they spoke, Gu Mingdijue and Lin Yi walked forward in the corridor. They then passed what looked like an indoor playground with slides, swings, and small toys. Then they passed an aquarium. The fish inside looked a little different from normal fish, and there were many things that looked like conchs swimming around inside, which made people feel weird.

"This seems to be a place built specifically for children..."

Lin Yi showed a pensive expression.

Various play facilities, the connection between the upper and lower floors uses a gentle slope instead of a normal staircase, and the size of these old clothes. Obviously, this strange building without windows and whose place is unknown seems to be a place for children to use.

However, a building that can even cut off the spiritual connection with Gu Mingji Jue, can easily absorb explosive energy, and has strong self-repair capabilities, does not seem to be something that can be touched by the civilian field, at least not at the current level of human civilization in this mission world. Unless...

"Those words are spiritual words."

Gu Mingji Jue gave another piece of information at the right time.

"That means this is the Guiling Clan, or should I say, the technological product of the old Guiling Clan civilization?"

Lin Yi immediately realized the truth.

Hidden in the shadowy space is a multi-story building where children can play freely and safely, and it is also equipped with various amusement facilities.

This thing should belong to some noble or wealthy person, right? It shouldn't be something that can be promoted to the general public, right? If it is the former, it can be understood, but if it is the latter, it is a bit too outrageous.

To what extent did the Guiling civilization develop in the past, and why did it fall to its current state? Even at this point, it has still not been judged as being in a dangerous state by the Savior System?

Lin Yi felt that the time for the answers to these civilizations to be revealed should be approaching.

Finally, after spending some time and walking a distance that Lin Yi estimated to be more than a hundred meters, the two found Ritsuka in a place that seemed to be a bathroom, and the young servant Lily who was following her.

This time, Lin Yi learned his lesson and did not push the door open. Instead, he waited for Gu Ming Di Jue to go in first. Not long after, the three of them came out. Ritsuka had already changed into a new set of clothes and returned Lin Yi's coat and shoes to him.

"Hmm, it's a bit tight..."

However, this outfit seemed not to take Ritsuka's situation into consideration in some way. The top was a little tight, making the girl look a little uncomfortable.

"Then the next question is where is Bashir."

After the personnel were successfully reunited, the next issue became the problem of the guy who had been missing since arriving here.

Lin Yi knew very well that the moment he activated the resonance, all the people around him were included. Although he was unwilling to bring Bashir in, the situation at the time did not allow him to classify and identify them, so he was brought in as well.

Of course, even so, Lin Yi knew very well that his bullets, Gu Mingji's attack, and the swing of the young servant named Lily should have hit the opponent just before the teleportation. So even if the opponent is still alive now, his condition will definitely not be much better.

"In fact, the reason why the Master and I entered this bathroom was because I smelled blood. Someone had treated a wound in this bathroom half an hour ago. Well, it's a pity that I don't have a dog's sense of smell, otherwise I would have been able to find her through the bloody gauze."

Lily spoke very seriously, and judging by the girl's expression, she seemed to be seriously expressing that she wanted the same sense of smell as a wolfhound.

"She can't get away."

In response to this, Lin Yi just replied calmly and continued to move forward.

Chapter 37: Shadow Returns to Darkness

Bashir really couldn't escape.

The battle is over and the outcome cannot be rewritten.

The dying counterattack at the last moment was just a desperate act to die together with the enemy.

"Ah...uh ah..."

With difficulty, he held on to the wall and moved forward step by step.

All the attacks at the last moment hit his body. The power of the shadow became more and more uncontrollable. The weakness of life caused by continuous blood loss and internal organ damage has been increasing. Death is only a matter of time. There is no possibility of a comeback. But this is also a matter of course. After all, he is not a character like the protagonist of a story. Good luck will always run out. There is nothing he can do about it.

But I still feel unwilling to accept this ending.

"Haah...ah..."

Supporting his body with difficulty, Bashir looked at his wound which had been simply treated but couldn't even stop the bleeding. He felt that breathing was becoming more and more difficult and the scene in his vision was gradually blurred.

The strength of the body is constantly weakening.

I no longer have the strength to go on.

Basheer stopped walking feebly, then slowly sat down, leaning against the wall in the white corridor.

Bashir was too lazy to care about how long it would take for the enemy to catch up with her. Her condition was getting worse and worse, and she basically had no ability to resist. No matter which enemy came over, she would be dead.

There is even no need for the enemy to come. Now that I am seriously injured and have no means of recovery, I will die in no time even if I am left alone.

Therefore, there are no other possibilities, and there is no outcome in which I can survive.

It's a little... a little strange.

He was clearly struggling with all his might before, and even when he was facing death, he still wanted to die together with his partner.

As a result, now that I have really reached a point where I am powerless and can only wait to die, my mood has calmed down instead. Why is that?

“Huh…Huh…Is this the fifth level of the Shadow World?”

To be honest, I don't really understand what this place is.

My shadow ability seems to have been greatly weakened here, and there is no way to travel away from here and return to the real world.

However, he could vaguely feel that this place seemed to have some connection with the shadow space he possessed, a connection that Basher himself could not explain.

"Another me... there was another me here, but... I'm dead?"

Struggling, he stood up again.

Some strange feeling made Bashir take action again.

She walked down two corridors, past a cluttered room filled with all kinds of empty cans.

Some broken pieces that seemed to be glass bottles and porcelain bottles were scattered on the ground. On some of the pieces, you could see dried bloodstains with only residual marks left, which were left behind who knows how many years ago.

Bashir passed by the open warehouse storeroom and stopped at the door.

She saw a large number of cans piled up in the warehouse. Some of them were smashed, and the red meat inside flowed out and scattered on the ground, but it was not rotten, it was just dried up due to dehydration.

The smell of this meat...smells like...

Basheer's expression changed slightly as she realized the nature of the meat.

Turn around again and keep moving forward.

In an inconspicuous little room next to the warehouse, Basher found one of her clones, a "self" who had been dead for at least sixty or seventy years, and now only a completely dehydrated, dried corpse remained.

Judging from the puncture marks left on the body, it must have been suicide.

"Has he been trapped in this inaccessible place for dozens or even hundreds of years? In the end, he couldn't accept this kind of life and died?"

Muttering to himself, Bashir walked to the corpse with the help of the wall and slowly sat down beside her.

There is no way to know what period of herself she was.

But no matter which period I am in, I will definitely be driven crazy by this kind of eternal imprisonment, right?

Ah, yes, speaking of which, my former master had done a similar experiment. Well, but it was a little more extreme than this one. He sealed a Guiling girl with self-healing ability into a stone pillar alive, leaving only a few small holes for food, breathing and excretion.

She didn't quite understand why this kind of thing would be interesting to her master. Over the years, she had seen so many humans, but it seemed that she rarely saw anyone like her former master, who was so cruel and insane that it seemed that she was completely beyond the reach of any intelligent life.

You are almost dead, but you are still thinking about what happened at that time?

Basheer sat on the ground, breathing heavily.

She looked towards the door and saw Lin Yi standing outside the cabin with his gun raised and aiming at her.

It's time to end.

I have been found by the enemy and there is no possibility of escape.

Moreover, the injuries on her body had already reached the limit. Even if they did not intend to do anything to her, she would probably lose her self-consciousness within a few minutes.

"Mr. Lin Yi, can... can I have a few words with her?"

At this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka's voice sounded.

The distance was a bit far, so I couldn't hear clearly what they were talking about. But I could barely tell that the man named Lin Yi was planning to kill her and give her a quick death. He was very decisive and a ruthless guy. However, what the other girl, the girl named Fujimaru Ritsuka, wanted to do was a little harder to understand.

Could it be that you want to chat with me?

Thinking of this, Bachelor forced herself to open her eyes again, and saw Fujimaru Ritsuka sitting in front of her, looking at her with a complicated expression.

"Which Miss Bashir is this Miss Bashir now?"

Ritsuka asked softly while staring at Basheer.

"What's the point of asking this question? We...are essentially the same person. Even if we were separated, the only outcome would be that we would die together..."

Basheer closed his eyes and spoke slowly.

"……Feel sorry."

The girl lowered her head and whispered.

"You said sorry to me... why?"

Basheer was confused, she didn't understand why Ritsuka felt sorry for her, the enemy who almost killed her.

"I just thought I could have helped Miss Bachelor."

Ritsuka raised his head slightly, and his expression became more complicated when he looked at Basheer.

There is no way to understand this expression.

He was an unforgivable villain who had killed countless people and was a calamity despised by the Soul Hunters. He had found all the Soul Hunters who had died in his hands, and all the innocent people who were just living a comfortable life and were tortured to death by him. The horrible pain these people had experienced before their death, the pain that ordinary people could not imagine, was unforgivable no matter who it was. For these humans, they should be the ones who were decisively eliminated for committing such a crime.

"I know Miss Bashir must have done a lot of terrible things."

"I don't think I have the right to forgive you on behalf of those who were hurt by Miss Bachelor."

Perhaps his expression was too obvious, Fujimaru Ritsuka shook his head slightly and said.

"I just think that I might be able to help the young Miss Bachelor I met in the cabin and prevent her from following your path."

"Maybe I'm being a little too sentimental, but if that's really Miss Bashir who 'hasn't suffered a nightmare yet', if I can really help her and lead her to a brighter and better future, I think it's worth a try."

"So I'm sorry, I still couldn't do anything in the end. I showed up after the tragedy happened, so there's really no way I can change anything."

As Ritsuka said this, his expression looked a little sad.

It was so funny that someone could say such things so seriously. It made her want to laugh at him out loud.

"…Are you taking revenge on me out of sympathy for my misfortune? Don't you think you are being a little hypocritical when you say this after forcing me to death?"

Although Bashir was getting weaker and weaker, he still spoke with a sneer on his face.

"No, I just hope to prevent this from happening. Even if this idea is too arrogant, I really hope to help Miss Bashir. At least, I hope you can know other ways of life besides the darkness, a normal, ordinary life that does not require plundering other people's lives and will not be hurt by others."

Once again, he shook his head gently.

Ritsuka faced Bashir's gaze without any sign of backing down.

"...That's right."

I think I can understand it a little bit.

He is really a very innocent and kind child.

If I had encountered such a little girl in normal times, I would have killed her and made her into a collection, right? But now I don't have the energy to do so, and the reason why I have this problem is actually the distortion left over from the days in the dungeon, right?

“…You can’t do anything.”

So Bashir grinned again and spoke in a mocking tone.

"No matter what method you use, as long as I am still myself, you can't change me."

"Because before this, I had already been changed forever. I can never become the kind of person you can accept."

As he spoke, Basheer barely propped himself up, raised his head, and looked at Ritsuka who was half-squatting on the ground.

“Don’t place your sympathy on people who don’t deserve it, and don’t let your emotions take over your mind. You must learn to be ruthless, because only those who can ruthlessly deprive others of their lives have the ability to protect what they want to protect.”

"Otherwise, maybe you can continue to live a normal life, or maybe you will be tamed by those things like me."
