Age of Heroes, ten consecutive guarantees.

Chapter 242 The Ungrateful Bastard

【Mysterious Fangs】

【Three Star Relic】

[Effect: Cutting the skin will cause blood flow, and it can cause the lowest degree of damage to any tough defense]

[Heroic spirit 'title unknown' rejected your call]

【Returned to history】

Bai Yu: "?"

Yo!

Pretty stubborn!
This was the first time that he had touched a holy relic but could not obtain the other party's information.

It seems that the opponent's willingness to resist is particularly strong.

Not even being able to read the information means that there is no way to easily make a contract at the moment.

"I don't know how many times I have to eat the guarantee before I can make a contract."

Bai Yu said to himself: "But for a three-star heroic spirit, it's worth it... Even a three-star heroic spirit in the afterimage state is blood money."

Naturally, he does not lack these patiences. Because of the existence of the law of guarantee, he has enough tolerance for many things. Others will get bored after doing it a few times, but he will do it at least the tenth time.

So far, all points have been consumed.

【The store is closed】

[Limited time event has ended]

I took a limited-time event and gained a lot.

Bai Yu thought about it, or she might as well find a time to give away the fashion in her hand.

The dragon vein world... I'm afraid it's not very good, because the spiritual world is over there.

It's better to log in to the dungeon to have a look. Recently, I only focus on brushing the dragon vein world.

Just as he was thinking, Bai Yu clicked on the dungeon, and immediately noticed that the dungeon had ushered in an update again.

【Intermediate Training Camp】

【Recommended level: 20~35】

As Bai Yu broke through to level [-], a new dungeon of weekly returns was added. The higher the level, the more the output of weekly copies, and the more lucrative the rewards.

However, the corresponding difficulty has also ushered in an increase, and there is an additional line of remarks.

[Recommended number: 3~4]

But the only intact Heroic Spirit that Bai Yu can drive is an ignorant ghost.

emmm... It seems that it is imperative to contract the Gorgon Witch.

Click on the intermediate training camp.

[The current number of people is lower than the recommended number, are you sure to enter? 】

"no."

【Katori Gymnasium (Level [-] Difficulty)】

[Recommended level: 25~35]

【Whether to enter】

"Yes."

……

The suburbs of Nanling.

The crowd walked out of the dark shadows, supporting each other.

The faces of the people who walked out of the passageway of the shadow world had the expressions of survivors.

Zhou Liu had just used up the last bottle of potion and fed it to a weak night watchman. The latter felt much better immediately and should be able to persist on the operating table.

"Report to Team Zhou!"

"How's the situation?" She hesitated and put the bottle back in her pocket.

"It is confirmed that the boundary of the shadow world has shrunk to a diameter of five meters. According to the current speed, it will disappear completely in twelve hours at most." The young watcher read out the inferred results observed.

"Have you notified the logistics?"

"Already contacted."

"Well, arrange for them to enter the Shadow World to transport the bodies of all the war dead. To ensure safety, they must also arrange for security troops to follow." Zhou Liu gave orders in an orderly manner, but at this time her thinking became clearer, Then I became more and more annoyed...how come I am quite good at 'washing the floor'?

The watchman responded: "Yes!"

Just as he was about to turn around, he heard Zhou Liu ask: "Wait...haven't you missed the report?"

"you are right?"

"Number of casualties!" Zhou Liu said calmly, "I want the ratio of casualties!"

"...At present, the death toll may be around 90, and the number of injured is more than [-]."

"The total number of people is..."

"The number of people involved should be around 300."

"I see." Zhou Liu listened to the numbers without changing his expression. He waved his hand and asked the young watchman to notify the logistics staff.

She turned around, intending to go to the next wounded person, but when she turned around, she realized that there were no more wounded, and they had all been transported away.

Her busyness also stopped.

After confirming that the Shadow World invasion is over, the logistics are in place and efficient faster than expected. The temporary medical shelter, the prepared operating room, the hospital bed, and the ambulance to be transported... most of the medical resources in the city have been destroyed. Forcibly used, and soon she had nothing to do.

I can only stand alone in the corner, looking at the crowd around me, neither standing nor sitting.

"You look as if your conscience is restless with guilt."

Zhou Liu raised her eyes and looked at Mu Yaoxi who had already changed into a clean tracksuit. She tried to force a smile.

The next moment Mu Yaoxi threw a hot towel and hit her on the face: "Wipe your face, don't smile so forcedly, it's heart-wrenching... Now that you've all come out alive, smile for the rest of your life." Crying all the time is better than holding back and doing nothing."

Zhou Liu was holding a warm hot towel. The heat made her feel relaxed after a long time. She wiped her cheeks and lifted her tired and stiff face: "I can't laugh or cry."

"Is it because the casualty rate is close to 50.00%?" Mu Yaoxi raised her eyebrows slightly: "You are really greedy."

"greedy?"

"Usually when this kind of shadow world invasion occurs, it is not uncommon for all the people involved to die, and this time is also a siege battle repeated in history... not only half of them survived, but they still survived Half." Mu Yaoxi said old-fashionedly: "This is already quite unbelievable."

"So, longing to live more is just greed?" Zhou Liu asked bitterly.

"If it weren't for that unknown editor of fate...you and I might not be able to get out alive."

Mu Yaoxi stared at the dark entrance of Shadow World: "Your idea is not wrong."

"I also imagined that if he had appeared in the morning, maybe the result would be different, maybe no one would have to die."

"However, if you think so, don't you think that you and I are nothing?"

"This is also a kind of disrespect for the dead-so there is no if, just accept the reality."

"Accept the cruel humiliation from reality, and then you can realize your shame and be brave."

Zhou Liu said with a dazed gaze: "As expected of the blood of the innate heroic spirit, you are stronger than me, so your achievements will far surpass me in the future... But I just hope to make this place better."

She closed her eyes tiredly, and her whole heart sank: "Maybe I was wrong, I tried in the wrong direction."

Mu Yaoxi's heart trembled, but don't let the other party's mentality collapse, and hurried to speak.

But seeing Zhou Liu opened his eyes again, his eyes became neither happy nor sad: "Fortunately, it's not too late to change now."

If all these years have gone astray, then what should be done should also change.

She thought so, showing a faint smile: "I think, I have to go back and have a good sleep...Thank you for the hot towel, Miss Mu."

"This title is too natural." Mu Yaoxi raised her eyebrows.

"The editor has been kind to me...and more than once, there is no way to repay the kindness, so I can't tell you about him." Zhou Liu shouted deliberately.

"He is too mysterious, and equally dangerous. If that kind of power points the butcher's knife at himself..."

"You know it's impossible."

"Nothing is impossible."

"I'm sure he wouldn't do that."

"I thought you were a very rational person who only believed in the power of the rule of law."

"I was indeed this kind of person in the past, but I have met people who cannot be sanctioned by the legal system." Zhou Liu looked up at the sky and sneered: "The one who is willing to lend a helping hand to me is the other party."

She turned her back to Mu Yaoxi and left. After walking five steps away, she stopped and continued, "It's the same this time."

"If it wasn't for those invisible hands, why did the support come so late?"

"Why did so many people die, Miss Mu, do you really think...they don't have to take even a little responsibility?"

"However, it is reasonable in terms of the system. Then, how should I seek justice for the war dead? Can the legal system give me the answer?"

Mu Yaoxi couldn't answer this question, she clenched her fingertips, but she remained silent when she spoke.

"You are actually very clear, but you don't care, because those hands can't interfere with your position. You know that as long as you go back to the capital, you will still be a high-ranking martial artist...not only do they dare not do anything to you, but they have to redouble your efforts. Please curry favor with me, and avoid your revenge because of this matter." Zhou Liu said simply: "This is the difference between you and me—although we have been side by side, we are not the same way after all."

Mu Yaoxi also became a little angry when she heard the words: "I have never regretted my life on the battlefield! What do you mean by not being a fellow!"

"I know, so I respect you for this." Zhou Liu refused to look back, but said silently: "I agree that you are a kind and noble person, but it is a pity that in this world, you stand too high , so we can't empathize... It's like, you think it's good to have so many people alive, but I know I can't be satisfied with this."

"The longer a person lives and the more he sees, the more he cannot be as pure and simple as before."

"While I've been up all night waiting for support, no one has responded to me."

"But he came to Shadow World, saved me, saved you, and saved so many people."

"Has he ever expected anything in return, has he sought any benefit?"

"My heart is full of gratitude. If I can do something for him in return, I will do it without hesitation!"

"But what you think is that his power is too dangerous and uncontrollable, and his origin is too mysterious to be guarded against."

"But to me, that doesn't matter at all!"

"No matter who he is or where he comes from, I will only focus on what he has done!"

"—he saved all of our lives!"

"Obviously we have received the same favor and experienced the same thing, but the conclusions we draw are completely different."

"So, I can only conclude that - you and I cannot empathize."

"From a rational point of view, I am of course aware of your identity, family background, and education, which led you to this conclusion. This is not entirely your problem. Even... Originally, as the real power leader of Nanling Mayor Yesi, I should have been with you. You are on the same side."

"But I can't, and I don't want to."

"I don't want to be an ungrateful person."

"So you don't have to try to get any valid information from me about all the information about him."

"That's all."

"Miss Mu, our relationship is over, so we can get together and break up!"

Zhou Liu left.

Standing under the moonlight, Mu Yaoxi couldn't calm down for a long time.

She bit her lower lip hard with her teeth.

"...So I was the ungrateful bastard."

"Is it because I'm standing too high?"

"But, why has no one told me in the past..."
