Conan World: Break Free from Fate and Run to You

"If you want to eat it, just try it..." Amuro gave a warm smile, but this smile was a bit cunning.

"No, absolutely not! I, I, I must be firm. I have no desires or demands!" Bai Zhi tried hard to convince herself, but Amuro Toru could feel the strong resentment in her even though he was one meter away.

Ah~ So she is just an ordinary little girl. Amuro Toru felt amused.

At least Bai Zhi's reaction made him feel relieved. He keenly realized that Bai Zhi was definitely not pretending and was fundamentally different from those people in the winery.

Just like a pearl in the dark, although it loses its luster in the dark environment, it can still definitely possess brilliance and color.

"Oh, that's such a pity." Amuro Toru turned his back and spread his hands helplessly: "I'm afraid it won't be fresh if I take it back. The cafe is closed too. It seems I can only throw it away. What a waste."

"You, you, you can't make excuses." Bai Zhi questioned, and twisted her body closer to the cake: "Obviously, you can eat it yourself!"

"But I'm full~ Besides, the chef's own evaluation is inaccurate, and we need the diners' evaluation as a reference." Amuro Toru dragged out his tone and looked at Bai Zhi innocently: "Since you don't want to eat it, I can only throw it away..."

As Toru Amuro stretched out his hand, the cake disappeared in a flash.

"Well, it would be a shame to throw it away! I'm not eating it just because I want to!" Bai Zhi said viciously, her eyes still fixed on the cake, which even eight horses couldn't pull away.

Bai Zhi still held the crystal ball in her arms, but she pushed the crystal ball closer to her chest and held the edge of the cake box tightly with both hands. The light in her eyes made Amuro Toru feel like a wolf that had been starving for several days and suddenly saw a piece of meat bone.

Moreover, it is non-aggressive, and the meat and bones are the most delicious when they are just dead and still bleeding.

"Come, please have some." Amuro Toru handed over the fork with a smile. The fork disappeared almost instantly, and Bai Zhi scooped up a big bite and put it into her mouth.

How many days have they been hungry? When did the winery become so destitute?

There is no money to decorate Baizhi's room, no money to buy Baizhi daily necessities, no money to buy Baizhi new clothes, and no money to give Baizhi good food... Look how hungry the little girl is and how thin she is.

However, what about Baizhi just saying that there is no need to eat?

After eating the cake, Toru Amuro could clearly feel that Bai Zhi's attitude had softened a lot. He held the crystal ball with a conflicted look as if he had unfulfilled desires but was too embarrassed to say it.

Amuro Toru couldn't help but laugh when he saw Bai Zhi like this, as if he was happy that Bai Zhi suddenly had the reactions and expressions of a normal person.

"Okay, I'll bring it to you next time." Amuro Toru said gently, his voice like a coaxing: "There are other flavors, or you can eat something else."

Bai Zhi didn't say anything. She put her forehead against the crystal ball and looked down at the floor under the table. Even though she clenched her teeth, tears still fell.

I haven't felt this way for a long time. Although Bai Zhi has warned herself many times not to embarrass herself like this because of a small favor, when I really felt it, my nose still felt sore.

This is just something that a normal person can carry with them. You can't take it so seriously just because it's such a cheap thing. Otherwise, you will be equivalent to this cheap thing. Absolutely not!

You have to break through the cycle of reincarnation, you have to save more than fifty people, you have to bring them all back, no matter what the cost!

Baizhi, Baizhi, you can't forget your purpose, you can't forget them, you have to continue, there is no turning back...

But, it's okay to stop for a while, right? Just a little while.

"Well, I said, I don't need to eat, and I'm not eating because I want to." Bai Zhi raised her head and muttered softly. She had adjusted her mood, lowered her eyes, and looked as if she was keeping people at a distance.

"If you have nothing to do, don't come here casually. It will be very troublesome." Bai Zhi whispered, "Your superiors will definitely not allow you to come to see me."

Last time, I should have said that I would pay a price in exchange for your refusal to answer, but now I am saying it myself.

Amuro Toru smiled and said nonchalantly: "Then don't let them know. Aren't you in control of this door?"

"They are very alert and smart. If they find clues, they will discover many things. Even if it is just a feather, they can guess what kind of animal it is." Bai Zhi lowered her head: "I can't do anything. I can't even save them, so of course I can't defeat the biggest behind-the-scenes boss in this world."

"They?" Amuro Toru asked in confusion.

"Nothing." Bai Zhi shook her head gently: "I don't know what's out there, but I should be satisfied, so I can answer your harmless question."

Finally, it comes back to the transaction?

Amuro Toru frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable, although this seemed to be what he wanted, and the conclusions he drew indirectly might lead to good results if they were put together.

However, looking at Baizhi with a tense jawline in front of him, Amuro Toru could feel that Baizhi was enduring something.

"Although it's not a problem to bring you food, but since you said so, I won't be polite." Amuro Toru took a long breath, sat down on the chair, and asked casually: "You just said you don't need to eat, what's the matter? Can't digest it? Will bringing you food be bad for your stomach?"

"...There are too many problems. It's against the rules." Bai Zhi pursed her lips, seeming a little dissatisfied: "No, my stomach won't have any problems. It's just that I am a creature beyond ordinary people and can survive without eating."

"Eh? There is such a thing? Is it because of magic?" Amuro Toru held up his chin, his purple-gray eyes shining with innocent curiosity: "It sounds amazing, then doesn't this mean you belong to the category of God? Aren't gods immortal and able to use magic?"

Bai Zhi: "...Of course not. Why do you have such a misunderstanding about God?"

"Ah, sorry, sorry. In my understanding, a god is someone who lives longer than ordinary people and has superpowers." Amuro Toru smiled, then his smile faded a bit: "Anyway, if you pray to a god, he can't hear you. What's the difference between that and someone you don't know?"

If God could hear people's calls, he would not be alone.

"...No need to apologize, I feel the same way." Bai Zhi was silent for a moment: "I just gave me the ability to trade because a god owed me something, so I am qualified to do what I want to do."

"Eh?" Toru Amuro didn't quite understand, but didn't know where to start.

He felt that Bai Zhi's worldview seemed to be really different from his. Every word Bai Zhi said hit upon his blind spots.

"We are an accident of fate. In the end, I am the only one left. No god cares about us. Elephants don't care about the lives of ants." Bai Zhi's voice was soft, but Amuro Toru seemed to hear a hint of hatred in it.

"A god felt bad and said to the only remaining ant, I will give you a chance to escape your fate as long as you can get enough things like the merchant. Then I got this crystal ball."
