Hua Yuan's Advice
The Gentleman Fish's words contained a great deal of information.
Hua Yuan, being the oldest Pseudo-Human in the sisterhood, was also deeply favored by her Grandmother, and privately learned a lot about the "Corner" from her Grandmother.
She harbored a great deal of fantasy about corners and longed to go there.
She was naturally very interested in the information provided by the Gentleman Fish.
For a moment, I was completely absorbed in what the other person was saying.
Unconsciously, one begins to speculate, to guess, and to ponder the various aspects behind it all, and what kind of being that monster incarnation truly is.
She didn't even realize that she was gradually developing a feeling of "insurmountable power".
"A bunch of nonsense."
Luo Di's sudden remark completely interrupted Hua Yuan's thoughts.
Luo Di's gaze had been fixed on the window for a long time; he seemed to have only listened to half of the "important information" given by the Gentleman Fish before he couldn't continue.
Hua Yuan squeezed her body together so that their arms were as close together as possible.
"Mr. Di seems to have some opinion?"
Luo Di continued to look out the window and said in a low voice, "We're only here because of the Wanted Poster. Who cares about some big shot in the corner, some bullshit experiment, or some brand new system?"
All I know is that any "monster" that descends will be restricted by the world and suppressed within the scope that we can kill.
All we have to do is find that thing and kill it; if we can't kill it, then we'll die.
There are only two possible outcomes; there's no need to think about anything else.
As for guys who like to spout a lot of nonsense, I've seen them before in school.
He's good for nothing all day long, only managed to glean a little information from the teacher before running around boasting to everyone, but in the end, he's nothing special.
"Oh!"
The junk information that had been piling up in Hua Yuan's brain was instantly cleared away at that moment.
"It's so simple and straightforward, there's no need to think about these trivial things."
This is the simplest question of life and death; there's no need to think about it so much.
Thank you, Mr. Di... You are indeed different."
As Hua Yuan's thoughts snapped out of their distractions, Gentleman Fish paused for a moment, his dead fish eyes glancing at the back seat through the rearview mirror.
The vehicle crawled along, smoothly and quietly.
Hua Yuan followed Luo Di's gaze and looked out the window. "What's so interesting outside? It's just these trees and coffins, isn't it?"
"It's just a personal habit, a way to relax."
"Oh."
Suddenly,
Luo Di's originally peaceful state of mind was disturbed by a close touch.
A very light head gently rested on his shoulder.
The sensation made his muscles tense, and he instinctively wanted to move away.
Just as the shoulder movement was about to occur,
Hua Yuan's harmless voice, the voice of the two people chatting under the tree, a voice without any aggression, drifted over gently.
It was as if an ordinary Girl, who had shared his hardships, was speaking:
"Let me relax a bit, I'm a little tired."
Luo Di, who had intended to refuse, suddenly thought of something and sighed softly. Although the muscles in his shoulders were still tense, still physically resisting, his inner rejection had lessened somewhat.
"Is this what a man's shoulders feel like? It's not nearly as comfortable as they're portrayed in TV dramas... But it's definitely more comfortable than a damp, cold wall."
Mr. Di ten hours or less, or even less, everything here will be over.
My sisters and I will either die or go to the corner, and either way we will be separated. Even if you go to the corner, you probably won't come looking for me.
Perhaps this is the last time we'll be together.
As a token of my appreciation for the collaboration, I'd like to offer you a small piece of advice. Of course, you can choose to ignore it, since someone as utterly wicked as me is unlikely to utter anything of value.
"What?"
Luo Di, unusually, chimed in.
"I sensed your murderous intent at the gathering. Although you hid it well, it always leaked out. Just now, when I came to find you with a stick, that murderous intent etched into your bones can't be erased."
Of course, I don't want to dig into your past.
All I want to say is, try not to use "hatred" as the motive for killing. Once you lose your motive, you may become very confused and passive, which may put you in danger and cause you to stagnate.
Kill me if you want!
Since you enjoy killing, it is your primary desire, requiring no motive or excuse. Only by continuously expanding the depth of your desires can you reach deeper places.
Even if you come from depths of the Corner to kill me later, I'll still be happy.
"Um."
After receiving a rare response, Hua Yuan glanced at Luo Di was still looking out the window.
She had wanted to say something more, but she gradually closed her eyes and began to enjoy this hard-won moment of relaxation.
She hadn't slept much since arriving on the island, but she fell asleep in this state and slept very soundly.
Even if the time is very short,
But Hua Yuan had a dream.
A normal person's dream.
The dream was not interrupted and continued until the very end.
When Hua Yuan woke up naturally, her somewhat weak body had almost completely recovered, and her mental state and thinking reflexes had been greatly improved.
She quickly sat up straight and soon realized a problem.
"Mr. Di, the bus arrived at the station quite a while ago, didn't it? Why didn't you wake me up?"
"Your body desperately needs rest, especially sleep. You haven't slept for at least two days and two nights, right? Spending an hour to get you back to peak condition is the most worthwhile use of your time."
Moreover, our waiting yielded an unexpected reward.
Luo Di pointed out the window to the wooden bench under the streetlight, where the Three Sisters were sitting.
"Yes! They've arrived too!"
For some reason,
Hua Yuan, who has always preferred to act independently, felt an indescribable joy upon reuniting with her sisters, but this joy was not expressed on her face.
Perhaps it was the connection between the sisters, or perhaps it was the bond brought by the Grandmother's Blood.
When Hua Yuan looked through the car window,
The Three Sisters all turned their gazes in that direction at the same time.
Of course, Hua Yuan's gaze met Isabella's as well. This time, she didn't deliberately act coy or grope Luo Di; she simply smiled faintly, stood up from her seat, and stretched.
"A good night's sleep makes me feel so much better! I feel like I can start my rampage again~ Mr. Di, let's go."
Hua Yuan dragged the fishbone stick behind him as he got off the bus.
The Gentleman Fish in the driver's seat had already stood up and bowed his head politely. "Thank you both for riding this bus. Welcome to come again next time."
Looking at the other person's buried head, Hua Yuan really wanted to smash it with a club.
But her gaze was drawn to a beam of light shining through the windshield, and her eyes naturally turned forward.
The resort, invested in by the Mercury Group, is still operating normally.
The buildings remain unchanged from before, except for the hotel, which seems a bit different, appearing taller and larger.
The resort, with all the lights on and music playing, was surprisingly deserted.
The Gentleman Fish beside him raised his head and continued speaking:
"You're really lucky! It seems like the resort is having some kind of event right now, so it might be the perfect time for you to go."
Of course, if you can continue to kill powerful offspring, you can still claim a reward from me.
Hua Yuan suddenly turned his head, flashing a bloodshot glare, and asked with a smile, "Will I get a reward for killing you?"
"Gurgle, gurgle."
The fish head, blowing bubbles, did not answer the question directly for the first time.
At the same time, the entire bus lit up with red lights, and eyes were constantly opening in the carriages.
Just as a conflict was about to break out,
Hua Yuan's arm was grabbed by a strong hand, and she was pulled off the bus.
Click~ The car door closed smoothly as well.
As the Gentleman Fish on board scratched his crotch and said goodbye, the bus quickly crawled away from the scene.
Luo Di, who was holding Hua Yuan's arm, explained, "Mu Mu and the others are also on the same bus. The driver has already been checked and ruled out as a monster incarnation. There is no need to waste time and energy."
Hua Yuan looked helpless. "I know~ I just really dislike that guy. Just thinking about him rambling on in the car makes me angry... Okay! Let go of me, stop pulling on me."
Hua Yuan shrugged, his killing intent fading.
The Three Sisters on the bench witnessed their actions.
The gauze covering the Sister Eye felt like it was about to burst, and Shia's zombie chin was stretched to its maximum.
They had never seen anything like it before; Hua Yuan would actually compromise on his own initiative.
In the past, when the sorority was on a mission, no one could stop Hua Yuan from targeting them.
Isabella simply watched silently, without much change in expression.
