Can I Quit the Group Now?

"We know we're dead."

"It is impossible for us to survive without rescue. At that time, Mu Yu made the decision to live and die with me, but I did something to feel sorry for her..."

"I abandoned her, used her as bait, and escaped successfully..."

"...!?"

Suzuka Gozen and Chihime clenched their palms at the same time, surprised by Qiushi's words.

Even though I have heard the news from Mu Yu, but out of caution, I still have doubts, but I didn't expect...

The moment they heard this, their hearts still became a little heavy.

And...they thought that Qiu Shi did this for real reasons, but no matter what, they never expected that Qiu Shi actually used his best friend as bait in order to survive...

This......

For a while, the two of them couldn't say a word.

"...Actually, this is quite normal. After all, this is the Sea of ​​Eternal Life, so there is no need to abide by the rules of humans. We monsters just need to live according to the rules of monsters. However, just like humans sometimes Just like following the rules, there will be people who don’t follow the rules here.”

"But, in this sea of ​​eternal life... Mu Yu is also your promised person, you..."

What Qiu Shi did at that time was much more serious than simply abandoning his friends to die.

Abandoning a friend is a matter of character, but abandoning an agreement and betraying a friend is a matter of death. The combination of these three things will make people's blood pressure soar.

"..."

Suzuka Gozen wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them involuntarily.

"Thank you for awakening my memory. Ever since I witnessed Mu Yu's death, I knew I made a wrong decision. My fascination cost me my best friend."

"I should have died with her on that day. But in the end, I could only watch her body grow cold."

"After realizing this, I chose to live in this world, closed my memory, and punished myself with this immortal thunder."

"...If you are in my territory, I will definitely drive you out."

Suzuka Gozen spoke softly after being silent for a long time.

"I don't deny the will to live, because this is the instinct of a creature, but letting friends be bait in order to survive for myself is a betrayal, which is never allowed."

"I'm starting to regret helping you."

"But... Anyway, things have happened. I will not ignore the past, but I will not miss the past."

"Since you have survived, you should shoulder the guilt and start a new life."

"This is what you should do!"

"I know...but, when I go back in this state..." Qiu Shi was hesitating and sad.

She knew that she would no longer be part of the mermaid family.

What qualifications does such a mermaid who has betrayed everything have to return to the Sea of ​​Eternal Life... Return to the mermaid clan?

She will only become a disgrace to the family and be nailed to the pillar of shame forever...

But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

"You can rest assured about this. If you decide, I will send someone to pick you up. At the same time, I will help you hide this matter. No one will know your past."

"If you are still worried, you can choose to start a new life with a new name."

"I think... the name 'Mu Yu' is very good."

"It will always remind you of what you have done, and it will also be a support for you to continue living."

"This is the agreement I made with Mu Yu."

Chapter 510 IX Can Only Say The Time I Picked Too Well

Qianji looked at Qiu Shi quietly, she didn't blame or get angry, she just said so calmly, but it was this flat tone that made Qiu Shi grit her teeth.

"I...I will live with hatred for my own weakness and guilt for killing my best friend."

"I took away her happiness. Now, I want to live in his place, and then, I will witness the day when the sea of ​​eternal life will recover!"

"Master Qianji, thank you, I will always pray for you."

The merman made her promise, she lowered her head, then turned and left lonely.

Her back is getting farther and farther away, and the sadness and regret that are full of it are also moving.

Suzuka Gozen looked at her back and was silent for a long time. Finally, he sighed softly and looked at Chihime beside him.

"I thought you would blame her for betraying the promise. To you, promises are more important than life... Is this really okay? Let a mermaid who broke her promise return to the Sea of ​​Eternal Life. You are the princess of the mermaid clan."

"...It's nothing. Although the betrayer is abominable, he has lived here for hundreds of years because of regret, and Qiu Shi also paid the price he should pay back."

"She has made amends for her mistakes and continues to this day."

"And...weak sharks often have to pay a greater price."

Qianji said softly.

"I can understand the sadness and regret of choosing this path in Qiushi..."

Not everyone can become strong, although many people say that as long as they work hard, everything can be changed, but in fact, the gap in talent will always exist around everyone.

Talented people are more likely to succeed than those without talent, and it is easier to climb to the top. In other words, the starting point and starting point of other people's birth is the end point of 90.00% of the people in the world.

Effort can change most things, but talent will always determine everything.

Qianji could understand Qiu Shi's feelings at that time.

She wanted to save her friend, but fear and fear took away her courage, and she dared not face it or admit it—her cowardice and weakness caused such sorrow.

In this world, being weak is always the original sin.

"If you don't want to be so cowardly and timid again, then keep getting stronger, if you don't want to try this kind of pain again, then try to become stronger!"

"Strong enough to protect the Sea of ​​Eternal Life, protect the tribe, and protect everything I want to protect!"

Suzuka Gozen took a deep look at Chihime, and didn't know whether it was encouragement or comfort, but these were words from her heart.

Only by being strong can you get everything you want.

Get stronger, keep getting stronger!

"Don't make these words too simple, becoming stronger is not just empty talk!"

Qian Ji shook her head lightly, she didn't say anything more, she just skipped over this matter plainly.

Having never experienced any hardships, and relying solely on his own talent, he has come to this point smoothly. Suzuka Gozen knows the need for strength, but he rarely pays for it.

She is different from Qianji... Her strength comes entirely from her blood and talent, but Qianji's strength comes from fighting again and again.

Becoming stronger...is never just a simple sentence.

"Go back, it's time to find the last tidal force."

The atmosphere unknowingly became a little heavy. Although there was not much change on Chihime's face, Suzuka Gozen seemed to be vaguely aware of the pain in Chihime's heart.

That is the envy and jealousy of ordinary people for geniuses, and it is also the cry of ordinary people for their own powerlessness.

This world has never been fair.

Pursing his lips lightly, Suzuka Gozen was silent for a while, and finally, he could only respond softly.

"......Um."

The two of Suzuka Gozen left the Sea of ​​Singing Souls and returned to the warship. They briefly explained what happened, and then they didn't continue talking. They just asked people to drive the warship into the Sea of ​​Singing Souls ocean.

However, today's plan to recover the Sea of ​​Soul Singing Soul may fail.

It took more than half of their time to come from the Sea of ​​Fog and Dust to the Sea of ​​Singing Soul, and then help Qiu Shimuyu solve the problem. In addition, the thunder had just dissipated, and the fish had not yet surfaced from the bottom of the sea, so, They will only sail for a short time today.

After the sky gradually darkened, Suzuka Gozen let the boat touch the shore, and after having dinner together, the four of them went back to rest separately.

Qian Ji went down alone after stopping the boat as usual, and didn't care about them, although she was a little depressed.

But it is true that I was injured today and encountered such a thing, so it is only natural that I would feel a little depressed.

Lux looked at Chihime's back, didn't say anything, but quietly returned to his room.

Let them solve these small problems by themselves...

Soon, the next morning, Lux walked out of the room with little Orpheus who was still yawning.

After washing up, they came to the deck, and breakfast was already ready at this time... Although Lux can cook, it's only when he's in the mood, if he's not in the mood, he won't care so much, so Meals on board have always been handled by the eight hundred bhikkhunis.

She has been wandering alone for 500 years and she also has good cooking skills. At least little Orpheus likes her cooking very much.

After simply filling his stomach, he nodded with the others as a greeting, and then set off again.

Today is the seventh day of setting out to find the power of the tide...

And because the problem on the road was dealt with yesterday, the road was very easy to walk without any waves.

After sailing quietly for most of the day, with the guidance of the school of fish, they finally arrived at the power of the tide safely.

After a simple conversation, Chihime made a promise, and Suzuka Gozen also began to accept the test.

This time the test is to bear the pain of love and the loss of life force.

To be honest, this level should be the most difficult level for Suzuka Gozen 300 years later.

The owner of Mt. Suzuka is never afraid of any challenges. No matter who stands in front of her, she can stomp them out with her head held high. The people she values ​​are her greatest weaknesses.

Letting her watch them die one by one is definitely the most unbearable test for Suzuka Gozen.

But for Suzuka Gozen 300 years ago, such a test...well, it shouldn't be difficult, right?

Chapter 520 Good guy, are you serious?

300 years ago, Suzuka Gozen didn't understand anything. She didn't know what relatives, friends, or feelings were. Therefore, although such a test would be troublesome, I'm afraid it won't what is the problem.

Speaking of which, when Suzuka Gozen was tested 300 years later, he had already experienced that kind of pain once.

Tamura Yoko died in front of her eyes, Tamura Samurai was forced to cut her belly in order to protect her, Dayake Maru even died to protect Suzuka-san when she went to the underworld to find Tamura-samurai's soul, and after death, she merged with Suzuka-san, forcing her She had to smash Suzuka Mountain, and then give him the mermaid meat.

In this way, Dayake Maru was barely protected.
