Conan World: Break Free from Fate and Run to You

"Protection? If someone wants to harm him, it would be more appropriate to find a bodyguard." The crystal ball in her arms flickered faintly, and Bai Zhi immediately frowned.

"Your father is old and bedridden. To be precise, you want me to extend his life, right?"

Protect?

It sounds like all we need to do is protect his personal safety, but based on the information Bai Zhi just got, an old man who is so fragile might die of a heart attack with just a little shock.

If she dies, it won’t be considered a successful protection. This guy is using a bug and wants to take advantage of her.

"Oh, yes, that's right. I heard you can do anything, so..." The man rubbed his hands and smiled brightly: "Probably extend it for three months."

"Okay, your father will live three months. I want you to be healthy." Bai Zhi nodded and said lightly, "This amount of time won't deduct your life span. Can you accept that?"

"Oh, that's great. My name is Taro Ueda. What should I call you?" Taro Ueda rubbed his hands with a smile.

"When you came here, the guide should have told you my name." Bai Zhi was a little annoyed. She didn't like playing Tai Chi with the old man who was smooth-talking. "I'll go see your father tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, okay, okay." Taro Ueda agreed immediately. Seeing Bai Zhi's indifferent look, he decided not to continue to try to please her. He followed the direction of her finger and stepped directly into the door that appeared out of thin air.

What a pathetic person.

Bai Zhi shrunk the crystal ball again and hung it around her neck, shrugged, and walked back as if nothing had happened.

The alley was very short, just the gap between two buildings. When I looked up, I could see the room where Toru Amuro was. However, the gap was too small, the moonlight could not shine in, and it was too dark and cold.

In fact, before the accidental time travel, Bai Zhi had also read a lot of novels. At that time, fantasy time travel novels with female protagonists were very popular. There were all kinds of female killers and female agents in the novels. They walked in the darkness with ease and made everyone terrified.

In the past, Bai Zhi also yearned for it and imagined countless times how great it would be if it were herself.

Bai Zhi looked back at the end of the alley. It was dark and cold. She couldn't move around freely or do anything. She was not the northern lights of the North Pole. She was just a moth.

A moth that burns itself, trying to become a flame against the sky.

Baizhi walked out slowly. She couldn't wait to go back, because there were... people she wanted to see, and two puppies.

However, the moment Bai Zhi stepped out of here, she stopped.

The man leaned against the wall with his arms folded, his short light blond hair like moonlight.

Bai Zhi lowered her head. Perhaps she should be justified because this was what she had always done. But now that she was caught in the act, Bai Zhi was as nervous as a child who had done something wrong.

The silence lasted for a long time. Amuro Toru looked at Bai Zhi quietly for a long time, and finally sighed.

"...Oh, let's go." Toru Amuro pressed his temple, his back straight against the white shirt.

"You saw it, Ling." Bai Zhi took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound calmer: "When did you find out?"

"When you pulled the curtains tonight, I didn't see our shadows." Amuro Toru stopped and said truthfully: "I guess you are covering up something, and I am worried about you."

I worry about you.

Bai Zhi couldn't help but feel tears in her eyes after hearing these simple words. She paused for a long time before speaking: "Zero, if I stay here, I will cause trouble for you. You will die, or you may leave without completing your mission. Even so, are you willing to keep me here?"

I really see enemies everywhere.

Toru Amuro looked at Bai Zhi and pursed his lips.

It's true that the slightest sign of trouble would make her put up defense and push everyone around her aside to ensure her absolute safety.

There is no one around, but in a way, does the absence of anyone also mean that no one will betray you?

"...So, what is my destiny?" Amuro Toru did not directly answer Bai Zhi's question, and said seriously: "You lied."

"Fate is unfortunate, but wishes will come true." Bai Zhi murmured in a low voice.

"So, whether the wish will come true has nothing to do with how long I can live, right?" Amuro Toru held his chin in thought, "So I will be in a lot of danger, and there is a high probability that I will die."

Bai Zhi: "..."

Don't be so sensitive, idiot.

"That's not the point. Fate is not like arithmetic. It's not like two negatives equal a positive. A worse fate will only drag down another worse fate." Bai Zhi stared at her toes, not daring to look up: "If you stay with me, your fate may collapse directly..."

"I think this is not the point." Amuro Toru chuckled and walked in front of Bai Zhi. He touched Bai Zhi's head with his right hand and said softly: "If my fate is the same as what you said, then I don't have to worry about it."

Bai Zhi: “Huh?”

"If my fate is really so bad, then I will be more relaxed. If I am going to die anyway, I must be more valuable." Amuro said with a smile: "Besides, nothing has been determined yet. Who says that fate cannot be changed? Is your fate necessarily worse than mine?"

"You are too optimistic, idiot." Bai Zhi muttered in a low voice: "I will definitely die too. I will die alone in a black hole in the universe."

After all, she really has reached her limit, and even if she succeeds in the end, she will definitely die.

"Well, let's try it." Amuro Toru leaned over and took Bai Zhi's hand. His smile was so gentle, and his eyes were like rosemary petals: "I won't let you die alone in the black hole. I will accompany you to break your fate."

Bai Zhi's pupils suddenly widened, she opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end she was drowned in the purple-gray tenderness and was at a loss.

Ling, do you know what you are talking about? How can I be firm if you do this?

"You always emphasize about fate. It really resembles what I saw in the countryside." Toru Amuro looked at the full moon in the sky and pulled Bai Zhi slowly, step by step, towards home.

"When I was young, I didn't understand why a rope could tie a cow and make it work in the field all day long. But later, when invisible shackles trapped people between day and night, I realized that both humans and cows have their own fatal weaknesses."

"A cow's nose is too soft, and it is afraid of pain. A person's life is too short, and they are afraid of death. A cow's life is just for grass, and some people's life is just for living. There is a difference between a free body in the world and a free person in the world, isn't it?"

"So I think this can't happen. I used to have very good brothers who I cared about. Bai Zhi, have you ever thought that the reason I am standing here alive is probably because my four brothers defeated fate and survived."

Bai Zhi didn't say anything. She didn't know and didn't know how to answer.

Maybe? After all, even if many deaths have no necessary connection with protecting a person, they will change a lot in the dark, just like the butterfly effect.

Just like the Sports Commissioner single-handedly cut off the head of the southern barbarian leader, and later fought to the death to kill the general, although in essence it was because those people refused to let him go, and he would die if he did not resist.

But in fact, because the leader was killed, the Southern Barbarians fell into chaos, and because the general was killed, the emperor had less protection, which indirectly led to many things.

Many people in the special class actually had to resist and died, but in the end she was the only one who escaped from the cycle of reincarnation.

Many things are not for her, but who says she didn't benefit from it?

"So, Azhi, let's not follow fate. Who says you will die alone in the universe? At least I will always be by your side."
