Absolute Zone Zero: I survive in Liufen Street

"So, Xiaobai, did you win?!" Fu Fu, who was originally repairing the physical injuries of Bai Zhi, clenched her hands nervously and led it back into her body, but Bai Yu, who could still sense it synchronously, let out a muffled groan of pain.

"Fu Fu, let go of your hand!" Bai Yu said unhappily with tears in his eyes, "No, fighting depends on your own strength.

I'm not some comic book protagonist who can turn the tables by relying on firm belief.

Look how badly I've been beaten. Does this look like a win?"

"Then how did you get back?!" Fu Fu pouted embarrassedly and blew air on Bai Zhi's wound to relieve his pain. She asked in confusion.

"…by taking the enemy by surprise."

"??"

Bai Yu turned his head away, looking as if he couldn't bear to look back, and whispered, "I took advantage of the moment when No. 11 was startled by my sudden attack...

Peppering No. 11."

"Huh?!" Fu Fu lost her grip on the bandage and dropped it. She looked at Bai Yu, whose ears were red, in shock. She said in disbelief, "Such a high-level duel between masters, and you're throwing pepper!"

"I wasn't going to compete with No. 11!" Bai Yu, with his cheeks flushed, lowered his head to bandage Bai Zhi's body, and said sullenly, "It's good enough that he can escape.

I beat number 11, you dare to think. If you run slower, [Bai Zhi] will really be cooked.

So, this injury really can't be completely repaired directly?"

"I've already said that if no one knows you're injured, the wound can be healed directly." Fu Fu helplessly took the burn ointment and applied it to Bai Zhi's chest and shoulders like she was plastering it on the wall. The room was filled with the bitter smell of medicine. "Number 11 knows exactly how many times he stabbed you.

So the most I can do is help you with the minor burns and speed up the healing of the wound, but you can only heal this injury for a few more days."

"But..." Bai Yu supported Bai Zhi from behind, looked at the tall man with his eyes closed and head down as if he was asleep with a headache, and said, "If you want to recover, Fu Fu, you can't put "me" away.

Where can I hide as a grown man?! You can’t let me live in a cave with all these injuries.”

"...Good question." Fu Fu started to feel awkward. "How about we trouble Master Qiao Pu again?

Let Dabai work as a waiter for Master Qiaopu for a while and change his living quarters. How about that?

"...Forget it." Bai Yu lowered his eyes, his gaze dark. He didn't want the identity of "Bai Zhi" to be associated with anyone around him.

He didn't even want Bai Zhi to have any connection in this world other than him and Fu Fu.

An intimate relationship built on a "lie" that should not exist and is destined to disappear will ultimately leave nothing but pain.

It would be better to let this [play] be a solo dance by [Bai Zhi] from beginning to end.

In this way, when the final scene comes, no one will be sad for Bai Zhi.

"Xiaobai, what are you thinking about?!" Fu Fu puffed her cheeks and rubbed a bitter and unpleasant ointment on Bai Yu's face through the [Bai Zhi] in the middle. She stared at him with a stern look and asked seriously, "I haven't talked about you yet. Recently, you have been staying in Dabai's body, and your mood swings are getting worse day by day.

Even Seth quietly asked me if we were having any trouble.

And when you came back this afternoon, I couldn't feel any emotion at all, just coldness.

But you're warm again now...

How strange! Could it be that the fire on the 11th thawed you?!

"...I'm just frozen meat, and I need to thaw it." Bai Yu reached out and pinched Fu Fu's face, pretending to be angry, but there was a gentle smile in his eyes.

Bai Yu admired Fu Fu's sharpness in his heart, and was also glad that he woke up in time.

"I just made a mistake before. Now I have figured it out." Bai Yu hugged Bai Zhi, who was leaning against his thin chest. He was wrapped in bandages and looked like he was in a dream, unwilling and unable to wake up. He said softly: "Actually, two battles took place today.

The first game made me understand that [Bai Zhi] cannot be [Bai Yu]. Gentleness and kindness can sometimes become "original sin."

And the second battle with No. 11.

I finally learned how to wield the knife without reservation.

But it also made me realize that whether it’s [Bai Yu] or [Bai Zhi], he is me, and I am me.”

Fu Fu sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, looking up at the young man's cheek gently touching the profile of the adult man. When he raised his eyes to look over, the two figures seemed to merge together.

“This [world] has been trying to make me forget who I was originally. It wants me to change and fit in, to become one of them.

Just as He said, the [world] welcomes my arrival, but He will also "digest" and "erase" the aliens without hesitation.

It’s just that the way it’s used is too terrible and too gentle, like boiling a frog in warm water.

Human beings are a race that strives to adapt and survive as the environment changes.

Gradually infiltrate and transform until the differences are completely erased.

Warmth, kindness, and crisis can all become means for the world to achieve its goals.

What’s even more terrifying is that such means do not harm you, but instead try to teach you how to survive better.

This is a domestication and transformation full of "good intentions."

But…"

Bai Yu smiled sheepishly at this point. "Although I'm indecisive, I'm actually a little stubborn.

I like this world very much and I like my current life very much.

However, for the past twenty years, I have not been able to give it up easily.

Those gentle, painful, and struggling memories make up who I am today.

When No. 11 pushed me to the limit and I swung my knife, I thought I could cut off the ordinary self of the past.

Become a true warrior who can disregard his own life and the lives of others and fight without hesitation in order to survive.

But the moment I really swung it, I knew that even if I died, I would never take someone else's life just to survive.

That's no reason for me to swing the knife.

At that moment, I understood that Bai Zhi was also me."

At this moment, Fu Fu saw the man who was seriously ill, gradually withering away, but still stubbornly alive, and smiling gently at everyone.

The face that had gradually become blurred in the memory and replaced by Bai Yu's current young figure became clear again at this moment.

But there is an extra touch of freshness, just like the flower branches in the flowerpot have grown new roots and have the possibility of growing and blooming again.

"Fu Fu, you once asked me if I wanted to go home." Bai Yu reached out and touched Fu Fu's hair, his gentle eyes revealing determination.

He said: "I can tell you clearly now that I want to go back.

Because before I set off for the future, I haven’t said goodbye to the past.”

"...Even if I leave and never come back?"

"No, we will definitely be back!

It is not time to surrender until you have tried everything you can."

Fu Fu looked at Bai Yu, who was in high spirits, and the worry that had been accumulating in her heart finally dissipated at this moment.

Since her upgrade and strengthening of her emotional control, Fu Fu hasn't cried for a long time.

But at this moment, tears fell unconsciously. Amid Bai Yu's panicked questioning, Fu Fu rushed over, hugged him and Bai Zhi tightly, and burst into tears.

Small Theater

Number 11, who was peppered all over his face: A Qiu!!

Damn traitor!!

You're still trying to sneak attack me in a duel. Don't let me catch you!

Ahem!!!
