Chapter 29: I Can’t Help But Curse Out “Idiot”
Although the beings they worshipped were not me, I only experienced this because I was by her side.
The cohesion of heavy industry forming a great entity.
I could feel the incredibly soulless undead, so this faith was even purer.
However, it was still too strange.
The undead of Dai Po’s group treated them as saviors, it was too sudden.
Clearly, Ruansui must have made a mistake somewhere, right?
“You’re saying she’s the savior? Could it be like Ruansui’s chair, completely ignoring my existence?”
“Alright, I’ll take it as a default.”
“I thought I was dead, but I didn’t expect this to happen.”
“But, it’s really a dramatic development.”
“Is this a scene?”
“Could it be that I am now seeing the coming of my king, and will return what you hold to you.”
“Return it to me? What do you want to give me?” I looked at the old skeleton in front of me indifferently, without a shred of emotion.
“I will stop it even if it costs me my life.”
“If this guy wants to force something on Ruansui…” He then placed his hand on his sternum, and immediately a pale, ethereal light…
The nameless Skeleton King, maintaining its kneeling posture, seemed to calm down, the flame in its sternum gradually weakened, turning into a light.
It coalesced in its palm, and at the same time, the light in its eye sockets…
Became invisible.
Then it covered that thing with both hands and slowly approached the light.
Ruansui looked up at me for a moment, and I paused, realizing something.
Then she slowly reached out her hand. The side with the thought of… did not appear.
The nameless Skeleton King was about to open its hands, but what appeared was…
“Huh? What’s going on?”
That thing seemed to have returned to its body.
The moment the confused question was uttered,
“No, no…” Although it is you,
“What’s wrong? Could it be…”
“… a fake?”
The atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense.
“We have to be careful!” The killing intent of all the undead intensified, and they all looked up.
“They all believe I’m a fake!”
“If it’s like I thought before, I’ll be torn to shreds!”
“Hold on to your confidence!”
“If they really think that…” After this miraculous turn of events, I must grasp the opportunity.
“I…” Under the immense pressure, I said with my scalp tingling, “Novel.”
“Enduring the pressure from all the undead, “You’re wrong. It’s…”
“You actually vaguely understand that…”
“Of course, I think she also hopes to see you…” When she heard the word “save,” Ruansui in my arms suddenly trembled.
“I don’t know if that’s true, but it has to be faced now.”
“Unfortunately, they swapped.”
“How can two people swap, and what excuse should I use?”
Just as I was thinking about it, she tugged at my collar, smiling wryly.
Unexpectedly, Ruansui actively tugged at my collar.
“I’ll go ask her to come out-”
“You just came out not long ago… You must have put in a lot of effort to convince her to come out.”
“I also understand that Lianbing is stubborn… It would be too lonely like that.”
“I haven’t even given you anything yet, no… really, very…”
“It’s okay, I’ve been very happy during this time.”
“…Good.”
“Hey! Can’t you wait a little longer?!”
“Jun Jun?!”
“…Ah, if you make that expression, I will definitely…” I stopped her.
Ruansui looked at my helpless smile, somewhat at a loss. “If I can’t even keep my girlfriend, what kind of man am I?”
“Leave this to me now. It’s my turn to fight for you.”
“We’re friends, right?”
“…”
My spirit focused forward, and I released pressure to the surroundings.
My words carried a commanding aura.
I turned on the switch, pouring all my Spiritual Power into my voice, and for my words…
“Alright, let us leave this time. I will bring her again next time.”
I said it without hesitation.
I held Lianbing, who was in my arms, in a princess carry and looked down at the surrounding undead.
“Aaaaahhhhhh….”
The ground began to groan, and an indentation appeared on the grass.
“… Down.” The undead who were blocking us parted like the Red Sea as if parted by Moses.
The maximum range that could be affected by my Spiritual Power was about three to five meters.
They blocked our way.
From this, I can also tell that my… The nameless Skeleton King stood up as if nothing had happened.
“But there is only one undead, that is the SF Light Novel…”
“…Road.”
“…The soul is also deep. However, that’s enough.”
“Very strong spiritual power. It’s… alive.”
“My spiritual pressure has been reversed!”
Suddenly, I heard a loud noise. My Spiritual Power must have awakened some of them.
“They are very easy to wake up.”
“Awakened? Because my spiritual power has this degree of self-awareness.”
“So-called awakening…”
“Isn’t this a good thing?”
He looked at Ruansui, who had stood up. The crown on his head…
The nameless Skeleton King didn’t intend to reply to me anymore. “Then there’s no point in waiting any longer… We are already used to it.”
“Although you always ignore me, I have to accept this ‘Skeleton King’s Crown’ as a replacement.”
“It’s a pity that I can’t return ‘that thing’ this time.”
“Eh? But…”
“…It was still accepted.”
Ruansui hesitated, but under my hint, she accepted it. Then Ruansui took it and it shrank, becoming something like a hair accessory. She then…
Took off the hair accessory from her head and replaced it with this. Suddenly, her aura became extraordinary.
Lianbing had always used a bow tie… Perhaps this temperament would reach a new level.
If this crown hadn’t shrunk and…
Coupled with her already sharp laughter, it was completely that of a high-class noblewoman.
I think anyone who saw it would be… including me.
No, even so, I’m not a masochist, okay?
I’m really not!
“You must be here to go to the inner city, right?”
“…Undead like those in the inner city?”
“Many… those in that city are also like this. Most of the awakened ones have already awakened.”
“You don’t need to be polite… Other undead are like brothers and sisters.” The administrator there is not me, but the Blood…
They act purely on instinct. So compared to here, there are some established rules there.
“…Corpse King.”
“Another guy who sounds very powerful.”
“There are two administrators in the Blood… ‘Outer Field’ is the part… that is…”
“…The part of the unawakened undead.”
“Now in the ‘Inner City,’ living a relatively normal life, ruling those awakened…”
“And the awakened undead…”
“…SF Light Novel…”
“…moves, like a movie…”
“Corpse King’s home.”
“…It’s probably because these unawakened undead only act on instinct.”
“No wonder Li Nai… There are undead creatures appearing in the outer city… Speaking of Li Nai, it’s really not dangerous.”
“If the administrator of the inner city is also… it’s only natural. But they use their own royal… ”
“…or use their names from when they were alive.”
“…In the False Everyday Life, I extinguished that obsession that made them undead.”
“In the end, they could only slowly disappear.”
“Immersed in a false everyday life…”
“But, they never regretted it, did they?”
“As long as the person involved feels it’s worth it, isn’t that right?”
“Whether it’s good or bad is not judged by the bystander.”
“…Perhaps Miks, she herself is also lost, which is why she needs a savior…”
The nameless Skeleton King responded to me properly for the first time.
*Clack clack* –
The sound of a subway approaching came from the distance.
“It seems your ride is here.”
“Is it the train that carried Ruansui that caught up?”
“…The subway, it was to let Ruansui meet the Skeleton King.”
“Now that I think about it, perhaps Ruansui saw that on the train…”
“I hope to see the real you next time.”
The nameless Skeleton King saluted again, and then retreated with the undead.
At the same time, with the sound of wheels grinding on rails, the subway stopped before us.
*Click* – The door opened.
A woman’s voice came from behind us.
“That’s right, little sister. You should have received the ‘Heart of the Undead’ now.”
She ran into the subway. So much so that I didn’t even get to…
“Heart of the Undead:…”
“…So I looked back, but before I could even see her clearly, I…”
“I only saw a strand of white hair…”
“…caused a frantic scream.”
“At the same time…”
“…I was somewhat confused.”
SF Light Novel.
Ruansui and I exchanged glances.
“…Uh…”
I scratched my head and pointed at the train door, asking, “I don’t know, maybe she was scared.”
“Was it her you felt… or her? The voice is the same.”
“Hmm, although I didn’t see her face.”
“It was…”
“So that means she ran… not because she saw Ruansui, but because she saw me.”
“What the heck?”
“Am I that ugly?”
“As soon as she saw me, she panicked and screamed, then jumped into the subway. Ruansui also followed.”
“Although I don’t understand what’s going on, Ruansui and I…”
“Hmph! Then…”
Then the white-haired woman who had run away appeared again.
“…with a roadblock on her head.”
“Roadblock, you all know what it is, right?”
“It’s that cone-shaped, red and white one, used to set up reminders.”
“This woman, she’s wearing a roadblock on her head?”
“And it conveniently blocked her title.”
“From my angle, it’s roughly this shape. I don’t know if it was intentional.”
“The name is completely invisible. For the title, I can only see the border.”
She bowed and saluted.
She didn’t say her name. She came in front of us, and pressed the edge of the base of the roadblock with both hands, and looked at us.
“Woman…” The woman’s head… As she bent over, the top of the roadblock hit my head.
“Um… Welcome!”
All I could say was…
“Damn it, idiot!”
