Gai Chuanjing, who always prided himself on being a gentleman, simply couldn't believe the reality before him. He slumped to the ground, his eyes hollow, unable to come to his senses for a long time.
Their mission this time had failed so utterly that the Lord would certainly not let them go. What should he do now? What should he do?
Feeling that he had reached a dead end and was completely at his wits' end, a crazy idea suddenly surged in Gai Chuanjing's mind.
If he went back, he'd be facing death anyway; it might be better to die right here, at least he would have company!
Gai Chuanjing got up mechanically, found Anzumiko's dagger, and returned to where Anzumiko was, laying her upon the bed with care.
He stared dully at Anzumiko for a long time, then slowly got onto the bed and lay down beside her.
Then, he raised the dagger in his hand and plunged it fiercely into his own abdomen.
The next day.
