Chapter 170
Author: Captain of the Youth First Crazy Squad
It was precisely when Xing discovered that Xing could hardly hold back the growing malice in her heart as the battle continued, that she decided to take the ball with her, and looked at her with unconcealed regret.
"That's such an extravagant idea, I'm more concerned about spiritual matters than life."
"This kind of thing... The teacher definitely doesn't understand!"
His attitude as if it had nothing to do with him made Xing clench her fists, unable to control herself, and said with a rare anger:
"You won't change, even if you use the power of the elf, you won't be affected by the miasma, but we are different! We are human! We don't have the ability to be as powerful as you! . … .I hate people like teachers the most!!"
"That's a pity, I obviously like you a lot."
"What the teacher likes... is definitely not the same as ours."
"Is there such a thing?"
"....If I were a teacher, I would definitely let the teacher go."
"I dare to say, obviously you all attacked me with all your strength just now."
"Because it's completely impossible to kill, that's why we attack!"
"Ah~ okay, there's no point in talking about this, and the punishment for attacking me is also given. Then...why don't you beg me? As long as you beg me, how about I let you go?"
He touched his chin and thought about it, smiled and proposed a plan that girls couldn't believe, but also couldn't refuse.
"...do you want to play us again?"
"Won't you give it a try?"
"...Please, let us go, even if it doesn't work, at least let us keep ourselves together in the last time."
Although he thought it was impossible, Xing bowed his head at him, expecting an impossible miracle.
then.....
"Okay~ Since you said so, let you all leave." Luo Mo nodded casually and readily agreed to their request.
""Ugh....? "" The two girls raised their heads in unison, both looking incredibly dumbfounded:
"Really...?" "Is it a joke again?"
"Oh, it's rare for me to be serious, but I don't believe it anymore?"
"No, no! It's just... I can't believe it." Xing hurriedly shook her head, but Qiu Zi was still full of suspicion: "It's really easy to talk, why did you just play ball?"
"Because the two of you ran away without saying a word, and attacked me. Of course, as a teacher, you have to teach me a lesson... I don't understand the principle of respecting teachers and respecting the Tao. How can you not beat me?!"
"...Just because of this? But you just..."
"You will be happier if you have ups and downs, right? Were you desperate just now? Are you surprised and surprised now?" Luo Mo said, and nodded to himself: "Sure enough, you should be a little happier when you part, eh? , I think so."
"More than being happy..." Qiuzi sighed heavily as he complained, "Sure enough, Qiuzi has no way of understanding, the teacher's incomprehensible interest."
"That's why I can be a teacher."
"No, no, no normal teacher is like you."
"Ah~ you still want to hurt me in the end? Do you believe it or not, I'll go back and show it to you now?"
"—Don't do this! Qiuzi's apology isn't enough? The heart will not be able to bear it!" Qiuzi quickly apologized to prevent him from repenting, but she only took Xing a few steps away, but she couldn't help asking with a guilty conscience. : "If we leave.... what about everyone, and the teacher?"
"There's nothing to do. What's there to worry about with me? And I can't die, so you just need to go home and rest in peace. Don't worry, the world can't die."
"But....."
"Do you only have so many 'buts' today? I'll deal with it from the Taisha side. Since you don't want to fight, don't think about fighting, and get out of here before I change my mind!"
Some couldn't stand the way she turned back three times at this step, Luo Mo kicked her ass directly, and scolded the two of them out of the grocery store.
The police on the outside were forced to get out of the way, and he threw the bank cards that the two of them left in the dormitory: "Take it, the money in this is what you deserve, and then... um, if you meet If anything happens, just give me a call."
"Teacher.... I'm sorry, and—thank you so much!"
Qiuzi and Xing glanced at each other, bowed their heads deeply at him, and tacitly apologized and thanked him.
"What's there to apologize for? You already paid enough, isn't it natural to go home and rest?"
"But everyone and the teacher..."
"You guys are really not straightforward at all. Since you want to leave, don't think so much about adding trouble to yourself, and go home quickly."
From the beginning to the end, Luo Mo just drove away impatiently, as if he didn't look down on the two of them at all.
But Qiuzi and Xing knew that he just wanted to let him leave with peace of mind.
But they didn't say it, let the moved tears run down their cheeks, and bowed deeply at him before turning around, holding each other's hands tightly under his watch, and walking slowly.
The sun has begun to set in the west, and the sky and the earth are gradually dyed red, which represents the sunset at the end of the day, which always gives people a sense of sadness and loneliness.
And Luo Mo, who turned his back to the setting sun, just narrowed his eyes lightly, without blaming the girl for cowardice and evasion, nor complaining about the consequences of their choice, but just watched the girl who traveled away without saying a word, until The two disappeared from everyone's sight.
Chapter 21 Before it ends
The witch saw Zhifan beside Luo Mo. At Luo Mo's request, she could only watch the girls disappear at the end of the street, so she couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Is this really good?"
"What's wrong?"
Luo Mo asked blankly.
"...You are so cruel to your students, let them go home at this time... Isn't that forcing them to a dead end?"
"Forcing them to a dead end? What are you talking about? How can you be worse than a child? The public opinion and family will put pressure on them, but now that they have money and have trained for so long, even if they don't have the Brave System, their combat effectiveness is better than normal people. Self-preservation is enough, so it's not a problem at all to find an old forest in the deep mountains, right?" Shaking his head, he couldn't help but ask back with a smile:
"Do you think they can stay at home in their current state? Even their biological parents, when they go home now, at most they just say goodbye and then leave."
"Why?"
"You still have less contact with the heroes, and you don't understand what state they are in now." Luo Mo looked up at the sad sunset, and said leisurely: "...their current state of mind, But no one will really believe that the only spiritual support is each other."
"...But even if you leave now, it doesn't make sense, right?"
"Perhaps, but they choose to live a stable and secure life, and may die at any time, rather than possibly living longer. In fact, I personally prefer their choice."
In fact, in the next battle, the two of them have the lowest survival probability among all the heroes, so to a large extent they have to leave to live longer.
But Satomi Zhifan didn't quite accept such an answer, so he frowned and said, "Even so....how do you ask me to explain it?"
"It's okay, I'll take care of it."
"But! There are two less heroes, now..."
"Did I say so? I'll deal with it." He slightly increased his tone, making Satomi Shiho feel extremely dissatisfied, but he gave up and continued to say something, and lowered his head helplessly.
.............
.............
As Satomi Shiho said, the retirement of Kyuko and Xing was indeed the result of his inaction.
It's not that he couldn't think of a way to stabilize the girls' desire to fight, but he just didn't take any action.
For example, when the big club first informed the public that various natural disasters were related to star debris, they could immediately ask them to issue a clarification statement, and put the responsibility on the upper-level constellation of star debris, which was caused by casting spells somewhere. The brave people get rid of the disadvantage of protecting the four kingdoms and hurt the masses, and they are pointed by the moral gods.
However, he never took action, just trying to keep the girls' hearts from breaking as much as possible.
how so?
Because even he felt a little desperate about the situation in this world, and really didn't feel the need to continue protecting.
If the endless battle continues, even if the heroes do not die in the battle, their spirits will definitely collapse under the influence of the filthy miasma.
Perhaps the death of the spirit will come sooner than the death of the body.... In this case, it is better to stop fighting and choose to maintain one's own spirit and at least die under normal circumstances.
He personally hopes that the heroes can choose this way, but he also understands that he will not agree with Yuuna, Utano, and Wakaba, so he does not interfere with the decisions of the Taisha.
Although this reduces the reputation of the brave, the act of retiring the brave will be resisted. Anyway, it will not be "allowed" by the masses to retire. It is better to use public opinion to make the girl full of blood, give up and continue to be the brave. pleasing things.
Anyway, this battle is impossible to end without killing the gods, and now they want to kill the gods who don't know where they are, which is pitifully low in terms of probability and success rate. Since there are so few heroes and more heroes, what is the difference? .
Anyway, it's just a matter of supporting two more days and less than two days. An Xin's life is two days less than the more mentally broken two days....Excessive life is torture, right?
Originally, physical pain was not easy to heal, and now the mental problems caused by this miasma are even more invisible. For such deepening mental problems and broken hearts, even the top psychiatrists are helpless.
In the final analysis, the heroes at this stage simply do not trust psychiatrists, so naturally the psychiatrist cannot establish a relationship of trust with the brave warriors who have been estranged from their former companions in this state.
It just so happens that the initial and most crucial point of psychological counseling is to establish a relationship of trust with each other. Without this, it is meaningless to say anything else. The big society can only ask Luo Mo, who still has some trust relationship, to provide psychological counseling to the brave... But he Even if you study psychology, you can only relieve as much as possible.
The only solution is to find a place. Through a long period of rest, you may be able to slowly relieve the filth and miasma over time, and then there may be a chance to recover.
But the current situation is not realistic at all, and even with the more frequent attacks of stardust, if you don't want the world to be destroyed, you can only participate in the battle continuously.
.... to put it simply, this is basically an endless cycle of whether the mind collapses first, or the body collapses first.
Luo Mo's current mood may be as complicated as the mood of the person who invented euthanasia, giving painless death to relieve untreatable pain.
The withdrawal of Kyouko and Kyo would certainly shake the hearts of the heroes, and although it was unlikely, he was looking forward to the collective strike of the heroes to end this basically meaningless battle as soon as possible.
The big deal is that everyone is lying on the board together, at least it can be relaxed... Anyway, he didn't care about living a few more days and less days.
....................
Penglai City.
Song Ye and Ruo Ye were still running under the setting sun, but they didn't know if they had been running for too long or the weather was too hot. When Luo Mo came back, he was already sweating profusely, and his sportswear was tightly attached to his skin. On the top, Miaoman's figure, which is still a little green, is vividly highlighted.
"I always feel... a little bit... angry."
Obviously, it is a moment of life and death that two heroes are missing now. Luo Mo, who was still in a heavy mood before, seemed to have adjusted his mood instantly when he returned to Penglai City. He looked at the running girl with great interest. looks like.
Until.... a leather whip slapped him by his feet, causing him to jump back reflexively.
"Mr. Mo...you're no longer a teacher, should you peep at the perverts of junior high school students?" Song Ye looked at him helplessly with a long whip.
But he retorted in a serious manner: "I am watching it openly."
"Fair and fair.... I really have you, okay, I'll talk to you slowly when I have time. Now... Where are Xing and Qiuzi?"
"I told them to go home, but they should leave soon after they go home. Where will they go..." Luo Mo pondered for a moment, then smiled and spread his hands: "If they are two, they will probably find A place with a nice view, and then two girls show the lilies blooming there?"
"Really? Find a place with a nice view... What a nice view, the lilies are blooming! Didn't you bring them back?!" As he spoke, Song Ye's face became unbearable, and he grabbed it. He shook Luo Mo's collar and roared in a gloomy and terrifying manner:
"Don't you know?! The war is coming! If they don't come back we will die! The world will end!"
"I know, but it's really good to bring it back? There's no accident that they're probably going to die, right?"
"Heroes shouldn't be afraid of death! Even if they die! It's not a reason to escape!!"
"Oh~ you really think so?"
"Of course I..." Ue Ye subconsciously wanted to nod his head, but suddenly found something, he let go of him staggeringly and took a few steps back, lowered his head and covered his mouth, whispering in disbelief :
"What the hell am I... talking about?"
"It seems that your mental breakdown is quite serious. It should have been a while ago to deal with those six constellations. The killer was used a bit too much, right? You obviously let you take it easy..."
No matter what the reason is, the former Utano could not force the comrades who had completely lost the will to fight to continue fighting, and now...
Glancing at Song Ye, who was in self-doubt, he didn't say much, just shook his head regretfully.
"Song Ye.... cheer up." After listening to their conversation, Ruo Ye, who had a bad face in the first place, pressed down on Song Ye's shoulder with a gloomy face, trying to cheer her up.
Luo Mo just silently patted the heads of the two of them, then left the place alone and returned to his own room in the Tianshou Pavilion, looking into the distance through the windowsill.
Looking out at the sea from the windows of the castle tower, in the distance, the sea, the summer sky and the wall of the sacred tree stretch as far as the eye can see.
".... Song Ye shouldn't be able to hold on for too long, and Song Ye can't support it, and the others are probably about the same."
Looking at the unchanged daily life under the setting sun, his thoughts gradually became dark.
And there were still those annoying but inexplicably reassuring voices all around, as if returning to everyday life.
.................
.................
As time approached the time of the attack in the oracle, the atmosphere of the heroes in Penglai City became more and more depressing.
During the period, Luo Mo also went to the big shrine and forced the priests to stop interfering with the hero's affairs, and the priest... acquiesced to his decision.
In other words, the command of the hero was completely transferred, and many people were greatly relieved. Surprisingly, no one objected.... It may not be surprising.
After all, if you look at it in detail, you can find that the Taisha is a rather distorted organization. Most things are led by laymen leading the laymen. The structure of the entire organization is quite strange.
Because the priests of the shrine were not the ones who directly listened to the oracle, nor had they fought against Stardust in person, but they led the priestesses and the hero.
The vast majority of priests have neither special abilities nor experience in combat, and even experience in fighting but only at a young age, their leadership skills are similar to ordinary people
