Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.
Chapter 42: Confession
Yin Tianbao was dead, and he died without hesitation, which made Su Yang sigh, "This man had quite a bit of style." Halfway through his sigh, he suddenly remembered something: "Oh no! That woman!"
Su Yang then remembered Lin Anlan. He wondered if Yin Tianbao's move had killed Lin Anlan, so he hurriedly ran to where Lin Anlan was and carefully checked.
Fortunately, Lin Anlan's body was still in a demonic state, which made her more resistant to fire, so she was fine and breathing steadily. Seeing that she was alright, Su Yang breathed a sigh of relief. Since Lin Anlan wouldn't wake up for the time being, Su Yang planned to take this opportunity to go to the passage that Xiao Ju had mentioned earlier, where the descendants of the Brand Rock Beast were hidden.
After passing through the passage, Su Yang arrived at a spacious cave. After searching for a while, he indeed found a pitch-black egg among a pile of rocks. The egg was about half a person's height and was standing quietly among the rocks. This must be the cub that the Rock-Beast had mentioned, but it was still unhatched.
Su Yang approached the egg, which seemed to sense the unfamiliar presence and began to tremble. At that moment, Xiao Ju emerged from the backpack, jumped in front of the egg, and placed its paw on it. The trembling egg slowly stopped shaking and became still. After doing this, Xiao Ju returned to Su Yang's shoulder.
Su Yang was also troubled. Such a big egg was too much effort to carry. He originally wanted to wait until he finished exploring before carrying it, but after looking around, he saw that there were more than a dozen passages of various sizes around him. Su Yang suddenly didn't want to explore anymore. He didn't want to get lost and not be able to find his way back. So he emptied everything out of his backpack and barely managed to fit the egg in it. He then tried to put as much food as possible into the backpack. As for the food that couldn't fit, he could only leave it there.
Returning along the same path, Lin Anlan still showed no signs of waking up, but her demonic body had begun to slowly return to normal, and the two horns on her head had disappeared. Seeing this, Su Yang could only continue to wait, sitting beside Lin Anlan with Die'er and Linglong, discussing recent events.
"Long'er, when you went to gather information earlier, did you find out the purpose of these two groups?"
Linglong shook his head and said, "When the man in black robes was about to speak, there was an elemental fluctuation in his brain. Then he cried out that he had a headache and then he died."
"Now I remember that person called the city lord. We met once, and I thought he was a nice guy," Su Yang recalled.
“That city lord is named Yin Tianbao. Judging from these events, he must have come for the Blood Squad from before, and he set up a trap within a trap, both for the Blood Squad and to get rid of the other brother and sister pair.” Linglong said out her guess.
"They're not good people at all," Die'er said nonchalantly. In her heart, she only cared about whether Su Yang could live and become stronger; she didn't care about anything else.
"Yin Tianbao and that brother and sister are both intelligent people, I think they're quite clever. I probably could never devise a scheme of that caliber or have those crisis management methods in my entire life." Su Yang lowered his head and said to Die'er:
"I'm sorry, Die'er, I've disappointed you. I really can't bring myself to kill."
Die'er glanced at Su Yang, sighed, and after a long while said, "Forget it, some things can't be forced. You have your own pursuits, and if I force you, you might not be willing to change. Let nature take its course." Su Yang wanted to say something, but Die'er continued, "But Su Yang, I hope you can understand me and not misunderstand me. I don't have a bloodlust." After saying that, Die'er also lowered her head and started poking at the pebbles on the ground.
The atmosphere became somewhat somber. Little Orange seemed to sense this and snuggled into Su Yang's arms. Su Yang stroked its head and slowly said:
“I have never questioned you. I know that you can only exist because I am alive. Whether it is you, Linglong, or Xiaoju, I hope that you can always be by my side. So, Die'er, I can understand everything you said and everything you asked me to do. I came into this world with only one wish, which is to live peacefully in this world, without strife or conspiracy, but it feels so difficult.”
Linglong didn't speak, but silently took Su Yang's arm and leaned gently on his shoulder. Die'er also didn't speak, but looked up at the cave ceiling. The group remained silent.
After a while, Die'er stood up and walked to Su Yang. She said to Xiao Ju, "Go away, go somewhere else." After shooing Xiao Ju away, she sat in Su Yang's lap, leaned against his chest, closed her eyes and said, "I'm sleepy, I want to sleep for a while."
Su Yang didn't expose her, letting her lean against his chest. And so, Su Yang leaned against the rock, Die'er leaned against his chest, Linglong leaned against his shoulder, and Xiao Ju lay by his legs. The man, the beast, and the two spirits spent the night in peace.
When Su Yang woke up, only Xiao Ju was still fast asleep beside him. Die'er and Ling Long were checking on Lin Anlan. Su Yang got up and went over. He saw that Lin Anlan's demonic state had been completely dispelled, but there was still no sign of him waking up.
"How long do you think she'll sleep? If we wait any longer, we'll run out of food." Su Yang was a little anxious, but he couldn't just ignore her.
"Why don't we just ignore her and head down the mountain?" Die'er suggested, glancing at Su Yang. Linglong glanced at her but didn't speak, continuing to stare at Lin Anlan.
“That won’t do. What if something happens to her if we leave her alone in this cave? Besides, didn’t you ask me to save her…” Before he could finish the word “save her,” Die’er covered Su Yang’s mouth and gestured for him to be quiet. Su Yang blinked and nodded. Die’er continued, “Why not? She’s so strong. She won’t be in any danger if she stays here. Even if all her companions have been killed by that Yin Tianbao, she can definitely leave this place on her own.”
Su Yang didn't speak, and Die'er asked Linglong again, "What do you think, Linglong? Shall we just go?"
Linglong didn't say anything, so Die'er urged Su Yang to get his bag. After Su Yang put on his bag and picked up Xiao Ju, Die'er signaled him not to make a sound. She pulled him behind a rock and hid there. Then she talked as she walked towards the passage. After walking a certain distance, she turned into a butterfly and flew back.
A short while later, Lin Anlan sat up from the ground, wiping away tears and sobbing uncontrollably. It turned out that she had already woken up and wanted to get up and leave, but she found Die'er and Linglong nearby. Since her elemental power had not recovered by more than one-tenth, she had no choice but to continue pretending to be unconscious. Die'er and Linglong also discovered that she was pretending to be unconscious, so Die'er came up with this plan.
Lin Anlan stood up, stopped crying, wiped away her tears, walked to her companion's body, and looked at her teammates who had spent every day with her, now all headless corpses. A wave of sadness welled up in her heart again. She cleaned up her teammates' bodies, made a grave with stones, and buried them on the spot.
After finishing these tasks, Lin Anlan turned to leave, only to see Su Yang and his group standing not far away. Su Yang waved awkwardly and said, "Hello." Die'er, on the other hand, teased without any attempt to hide her sarcasm, "Oh dear, isn't this the captain who was unconscious just now? How come he woke up so quickly?"
