First, based on the location of the councilors provided by Sakura, he killed them one by one. After that, Bai Ge began to investigate the hiding places of the other councilors.

These guys, who have been obsessed with infighting for five hundred years, love nothing more than collecting their opponents' secrets and inconsistencies. Bai Ge, having obtained a wealth of information from this, continued his killing spree...

Finally, he destroyed several research labs that were studying Hypermutation Surgery, killed thousands of unscrupulous human experimenters, as well as about half of the Moth Chasing Fire and all their loyal followers.

Finally, let Mobius and Meli absorb the forces left behind by these people, taking in what they can and destroying the truly disgusting black market operations.

After this thorough cleaning...

The entire Moth Chasing Fire is much cleaner now.

As long as Bai Ge is still around, there's no need to worry about the councilors focusing on internal strife and dragging humanity down, just like in the original storyline, when facing a formidable enemy.

"Eh~ Although killing the woodworms is quite fun, I always feel empty afterward, and I don't feel any sense of accomplishment."

Bai has inexplicably entered a state of enlightenment, and even wants to smoke a cigarette and contemplate life.

"Bai Ge—!"

"Team leader--!"

At the same time, Elysia and Sakura rushed over after seeing him, and they were startled by the sight of the White Youth covered in bright red.

Bai Ge slapped Elysia on the head, stopping the Pink Fairy Lady from embracing him.

"Not this time, Aili."

"Bai Ge, did you go and kill someone?"

"... Don't worry about them, they're just some bad guys who deserve to die. '963,' I'm going to take a shower first, otherwise I'll get you all dirty. To be honest, I can hardly stand the smell myself."

Bai Ge pinched his nose.

He wasn't the kind of person who would get excited at the smell of blood. Compared to the pungent, metallic smell of blood, the fragrance of flowers, the aroma of food, and the natural scent of a beautiful young woman were far superior.

Moreover, Bai Ge couldn't bear to let the filthy blood of these lowly people stain his beloved Aili.

"..."

Elysia watched the boy's retreating figure with worry and sadness, finding it hard to accept.

Even if it's about punishing evil and upholding justice, what good is it? She doesn't want her beloved boy to be stained with the blood of his fellow human beings.

"Sakura, what did it feel like to kill someone for the first time?"

"... It was disgusting, it was terrifying. No matter how much I vomited, I couldn't get rid of the fear in my heart. After that, I never had a good dream again. Elysia, what you just meant was..."

"Hmm, this is Bai Ge's first time killing someone. He looks so tired. I have to go and comfort him!"

As Elysia spoke, she ran over, not caring at all about Bai Ge who was covered in blood. She smiled and threw herself at him, while Sakura stood there, stunned.

"Captain Bai Ge, is this his first time killing someone? Was it... for me?"

Sakura clenched her small hands, feeling incredibly guilty.

I made a mistake again. Because of me, this person got their hands dirty. How can I repay Bai Ge's kindness and make amends for my mistake?

"It seems I really have no way to repay him... From now on, I will do my best to fulfill any task assigned by Captain Bai Ge and become his blade. This is the only thing I can do."

Sakura gripped the long sword at her waist tightly.

I felt that I had one more sin to atone for.

The Pink Fairy in the bathroom was unusually proactive today.

Although Bai Ge didn't know why Elysia so excited, he couldn't possibly refuse such a wonderful offer when he saw a cute pink maid outfit offering to scrub his back.

Half an hour later.

"Aili, you look good in a maid outfit, but you're not suited to be a maid. You did a great job, but don't do it again next time..."

"Waaaaah, I'm so sorry~"

Bai Ge stared speechlessly at Elysia, his skin almost scratched. This Pink Fairy really didn't know anything! Bai began to miss his perfect personal maid, Rita.

He thought to himself that if the two of them could meet across 50,000 years, he would definitely have Rita teach Aili how to be a perfect maid.

"By the way, Bai Ge, are you alright?"

"Huh? What could be wrong with me?"

"...nothing."

Elysia remained silent for a while but still couldn't bring herself to ask. She knew the boy's personality; even if he had something on his mind, he would never show it, and the Alliance would not be worried.

Elysia clenched her fists, her heart aching. Someone as gentle and kind as Bai Ge must have felt terrible for killing another human being for the first time.

Thinking of this, she stepped forward and suddenly hugged Bai Ge's head, using her enormous human heart to give him a face wash.

"Aili, what's wrong? Is something bothering you? If so, tell me and I'll help you..."

"Stupid Bai Ge, take better care of yourself."

Elysia's eyes were filled with heartache and helplessness. She gently stroked Bai Ge's white hair. After taking a bath, the smell of blood had been completely removed, and she had a pleasant scent.

On the other side, although Bai Ge didn't understand what Elysia meant, he still enjoyed the girl's gentleness.

"I'm fine, Aili, don't worry about me."

"... How could I not be worried?"

Elysia said softly, she didn't know how to "heal" Bai Ge's injured blade, she could only do her best.

After experiencing a healing session with Pink Fairy Lady, Bai Ge felt completely refreshed.

In reality, although he didn't like killing, he wasn't so fragile that killing a few people would hurt him emotionally. Rather, he was a very decisive and ruthless person.

Bai Ge: (I have a heart of stone! I have no feelings!)

Although this was the first time in the Previous Civilization era, he had already killed many people in the Current Civilization.

Then Sakura also came to his room.

Bai Ge got straight to the point.

"Sakura, I've done what I promised you. You two sisters are reunited now. So it's your turn to fulfill my request. Is that alright?"

"Yes, please give me your orders!"

Sakura said in a serious tone that if she had a cane in her hand at this moment, she would definitely be using it to express her loyalty to Bai Ge.

To be honest, although Sakura has now been freed from the constraints of the Fire Chasing Councilors, she feels that she has not severed the chains of the past.

In the past, Sakura, as a member of the Venom Cocoon, was instructed by the Moth Chasing Fire Councilor to deal with enemies who hindered the organization's interests.

And she probably won't change much in the future.

As an assassin, a peaceful end is a luxury. All she can do is keep wielding her knife until it breaks and her life is taken by the enemy.

But this time, Sakura was willing.

Because Bai Ge wouldn't use Ling to coerce her into doing things, and she would definitely do things for Bai Ge wholeheartedly, after all, Ying already owes him far too much kindness.

So this time it's to repay a debt of gratitude, and Sakura believes that unlike those Moth Chasing Fire councilors, if she were to die by accident one day, Bai Ge would definitely take good care of her younger sister.

Sakura: (After I die, you will raise my younger sister; I have no worries!)

However, Bai Ge's request left her speechless.

No matter what the request was, Sakura was prepared to agree without hesitation. Whether Bai Ge wanted her to be his sword, his black glove, or even offer her body, she would have no problem.

But...

"From now on, you sisters must live a good and happy life. That is my request. Sakura, give me your sword and mask. You will not need to use them anymore."

Bai Ge reached out to Ying, demanding proof that she was a Forget-Me-Not assassin.

"What... are you saying...?"

Sakura looked bewildered, unsure of what to do.

Bai Ge didn't actually want to become his weapon; instead, he wanted to free himself from the fate of being an assassin.

"Sakura, you don't want to fight, right? In that case, I'll arrange a safe city for you and Rin. From now on, you sisters can start a new life there and live well. This is a difficult request, so you have to try your best to achieve it."

Bai Ge smiled as he snatched Sakura's mask and knife.

He knew that Sakura was a girl who was swept up by fate, yearning for light but forced to step into darkness. She didn't want to fight, didn't want to kill, and only wanted to live an ordinary life with her family.

Bai Ge decides to grant Ying's wish.

He was well aware that his decision at this moment might result in the loss of one of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers in the future, and that the hero with the [Moment] Flame-Chasers would cease to exist.

Even so, Bai Ge decided to break the shackles on Ying and give her freedom again.

(I'll make up for the shortcomings. It's happier to be an ordinary girl than a Flame-Chasers. In that case, Sakura, you should be an ordinary girl.)

Bai Ge sincerely hopes that every Flame-Chasers can find happiness, and it is precisely to bring everyone a happy ending that he descended into this time and space.

"How could I? I'm not qualified..."

Sakura was shocked. Her heart was pounding wildly as if it had gone out of control. She had prepared herself to become a sword and fight to the death for Bai Ge, but Bai Ge had freed her instead.

Bai Ge presented Ying with a beauty she could never have imagined, and at that moment the girl's heart was completely thrown into turmoil.
