We're Basically Family Now (yay)
Countless fireworks soared into the sky, followed by a series of popping and crackling sounds that shattered the tranquility.
Amidst the clamor, the fireworks, which should have been in various shapes, intertwined and became a simple display of color.
She's nothing but pretty.
As for Cong Yu, he was rather indifferent to fireworks. He even lowered his head, holding Xiao Cui and enjoying the warm feeling.
Cong Yu's body temperature is relatively low, but it will warm up if she is covered up for a long time.
Just like his soul.
Against the backdrop of the noisy fireworks, Cong Yu's breathing seemed to gradually become more and more even.
Finally, as the frequency of the fireworks gradually decreased, becoming a faint drizzle in the night sky, leaving only wisps of smoke and beautiful memories...
Cong Yu finally fell asleep.
Xiao Cui quickly noticed this... because Brother Cong Yu was already leaning against her, but she didn't say anything.
Subsequently, Yaochuan Guang and Lantian Zhu also realized that Cong Yu had fallen asleep.
But no one made a sound to wake him.
"..." The surroundings were quiet, without the noisy fireworks, but the occasional sound of people talking could be heard.
Beneath the seemingly burning fireworks, their eyes sparkled, and faint smiles appeared on their lips.
They chatted happily, their smiles revealing hope and dreams.
Accompanied by the sound of a gentle breeze rustling through the leaves and the chirping of insects in the distance, the surroundings became completely noisy.
People began to make a ruckus as they prepared to return.
"Ugh! I have to get up early tomorrow!"
"It's already today."
Where are you planning to go for fun recently?
"There's a resort that's been really popular lately, I'm thinking of going to check it out."
"..."
"Cong Yu- chan... Cong Yu- chan..."
Yaochuan Guang called out to Cong Yu very softly, but there was no response... It seemed she was fast asleep.
"..." Yaochuan Guang pondered for a moment, then muttered under his breath, "Why are you sleeping as soundly as Little Lan? Are you tired?"
Lantian Zhu: "???"
How did this get dragged into me?
Speechless, Lantian Zhu stared blankly at Yaochuan Guang fish eyes, not uttering a sound.
"..." Yaochuan Guang scratched his head, then gently pulled Xiao Cui along and gently picked up Cong Yu: "Let's go back... let Cong Yu- chan get a good night's sleep."
In response, Xiao Cui said softly, "Does Brother Cong Yu find the Summer Festival boring? Just like at the amusement park before?"
."
It's possible; all three of them could sense that Cong Yu was...
How should I put it? To put it nicely, it has "transcended vulgar tastes," but to put it bluntly...
It seems that very few things can make him happy.
At least amusement park rides and fireworks displays are not allowed.
So, is Cong Yu feeling bored?
I don't think it's fair to say it's boring.
Lantian Zhu spoke, she lowered her voice and gently played with the strands of hair falling from Cong Yu's head. "Perhaps they're not interested in fireworks... just like me."
Lantian Zhu was also indifferent to fireworks... because she had lived for a long time, and fireworks were no longer a rarity for her.
"Hmm - it'll be like an amusement park..."
As Xiao Cui spoke, she recalled what Cong Yu had said to her at the amusement park, "Because you're with us, you're very happy."
"..."

"..."
"..." In the darkness, something was whispering softly, the indistinct sound echoing endlessly.
"..."
"@#JPY%^&..."
"@...%..."
"Disaster...&... calamity..."
Soon, the voice, which seemed to be suppressing some emotion, slowly and gradually became clearer.
"I'm so hungry..."
"Annoying"
"I am the Calamity's Cause, I am the calamity..."
"It hurts so much, this shouldn't be happening..."
I feel so lonely.
"Why..."
"I'm so lonely!!!"
"..."
"!!!" Cong Yu suddenly woke up with a start. Lying on the bed, he opened his eyes, his golden vertical pupils shining brightly in the darkness.
"Ha-hoo... Ha-hoo..."
As he gasped for breath, his eyes returned to black... and he could also clearly feel that the three guys had come to his bed again.
"..."
"..." No, that's not right...
In fact, he is no longer alone... he is no longer alone.
Chapter 202 is already a human resources company (Happy)
Humans are social animals. Even when humans were still primitive, they had already begun to form stable groups to protect themselves from external threats.
They share food and information to increase their chances of survival.
This instinct and habit of living in groups has been preserved in the course of evolution; everyone needs to interact and communicate with others to obtain emotional support and social connections.
Children need family and friends as they grow up.
Loneliness is a trait of everyone; in fact, everyone has the instinct to enjoy solitude... Everyone has a certain fondness for freedom.
Looking at the starry sky at night, wearing headphones alone, enjoying your own music... that's a beautiful scene.
However, this process cannot take too long...
You can choose not to go, but you can't choose not to do it.
Even those with social anxiety will have online friends; even those without will watch anime, read novels, and seek spiritual nourishment.
Humans need to eat.
If someone is unable to eat for an extended period, or if someone who should eat meat is forced to eat only grass... then they will become lonely.
The ideas I want to share are incomprehensible to others.
If the emotions one wants to express cannot establish a deeper connection and identification, then naturally a rift will occur.
In other words, it's a feeling...
Ah, this world, it really is nothing more than "this kind of thing".
And this led to the creation of "something"...
This is...
[Extinction Formula - Source Darkness Apophis]
--
"..."
"Cough cough..."
Staring at the familiar ceiling, Cong Yu lowered her voice and coughed lightly twice, the murmurs from her previous dream echoing in her mind.
It has been almost four months since the last Extinction Formula that urged him to World Destruction.
The interval this time was quite long...
Before meeting Yaochuan Guang and the others, she would bother him almost every month... Well, to say bother him was really just like having a dream.
It's just about experiencing the boredom and loneliness of the past.
It wasn't even a nightmare.
"..." In fact, Cong Yu thought a long time ago that the most unbearable memory she had was of Europe's terrible hygiene and food.
The streets were littered with excrement, hard black bread mixed with sawdust, and boiled peas, onions, and carrots, and stewed fruit, all resembling a thesis defense.
However, after the Extinction Formula appeared, Cong Yu, even when he was still a mortal, already knew what he couldn't bear to look back on...
It's a sense of disconnect.
A distinct feeling of "I don't belong here" enveloped him, making it difficult for him to fall asleep almost every night.
Of course, it's also possible that he wasn't very comfortable with sailing at that time.
Moreover, maggot-infested cookies and bitter rum are truly nauseating... It's really hard to sleep well while eating this kind of stuff.
Fortunately, there's the Snow Woman.
How should I put it? Sometimes, people don't need others to "understand" what they're saying; they just want to say it.
The Snow Woman is a very good listener.
Cong Yu speaks, Snow Woman listens... Cong Yu plots murder, Snow Woman readily carries it out... Cong Yu negotiates with Oda Nobunaga, while Snow Woman watches from the sidelines.
Perhaps without realizing it, the Snow Woman became the savior.
The world wasn't destroyed by the Cong Yu, and his friends deserve one-third of the credit... The Snow Woman should deserve one-fifth of that one-third.
After all, they were childhood sweethearts, so that relationship still carries significant weight.
The Snow Woman turned the "Extinction Formula was noisy every night" into "noisy every week," and then the times changed...
As the era gradually approached civilization, Cong Yu's psychological pressure gradually lessened, making the Extinction Formula more docile.
In retrospect, Yaochuan Guang's contribution was also significant.
Cong Yu himself had to admit that spending so much time with Yaochuan Guang had made him a bit more cheerful... This idiot was very infectious.
With this thought in mind, Cong Yu looked at Yaochuan Guang beside him... Even without looking, he knew which side was Yaochuan Guang and which side was Lantian Zhu.
Yaochuan Guang felt warm all over, like a blanket that had been sun-dried, with an indescribable scent.
It might be the smell of burnt mites.
Lantian Zhu is even easier to spot... icy cold, motionless, just like --
A corpse
"..." After Cong Yu turned his head, he saw a pair of lovely eyes that glowed with golden light in the darkness.
Magical girls' eyes glow...
It wasn't the light of a flashlight, nor could it spread even a fraction of a distance in the darkness; it simply shone with a magical color.
Therefore, Yaochuan Guang is awake now.
