Volume 4 Chapter 7 Life, the Gods, the Seeker

"So, why are you at my house too?"

Just after 1 a.m., I'm sitting on the carpet in my living room.

There were three people in front of me, Su Hongyuan, Qin Qin and Xiaohong.

"I'll always follow my sister."

Xiaohong grabbed Qin Qin's arm stubbornly, but Qin Qin looked disgusted.

I looked back at the bed I had just moved back to—only the slats remained. Good guy, how the hell did she tear down my bed, where am I going to sleep tonight?

Coo-goo-goo –

I heard the groaning of my stomach.

But not mine.

Xiao Hong covered her stomach even with a bang.

“…… Want a late-night snack? ”

I suggested that there were leftovers for dinner anyway, so it wouldn't be too time-consuming to make fried rice or something.

"Okay—drip."

Xiaohong said with a smile.

I made simple squid fried rice.

It was the first time in my life to eat so late.

At the dinner table, all four were silent.

Let's be honest – I never thought there would be four people in the house at the same time. Not to mention that three girls came at the same time. Because I live far away, I rarely have guests in my home, and if I have to say it, that guy from Pingbai has been here.

"One more bowl."

As a result, Qin Qin ate the most.

Xiaohong is extremely clingy, of course, the target is only Qin Qin, it is hard to imagine that this guy is actually Xiaohong's sister, obviously from the perspective of physique, it is appropriate to turn it around.

For some reason, Qin Qin didn't like Xiaohong too much. The red ponytail is obviously also 'full of feelings', and theoretically it should win Qin Qin's heart. But for now, only Xiaohong is unilaterally compatible.

"Full ......"

"I held it up."

I knew Qin Qin's skills well, and I deliberately made a lot of fried rice, but they still finished it. Su Hongyuan and I don't look very hungry, so the main combat power is still the two of them.

"Sleep—"

"Sleep—"

The two men are strikingly consistent. After the meal was full, he lay on the carpet, Xiaohong hugged Qin Qin tightly, and in less than ten seconds, there was a snoring sound.

"Are all the people in the Demon Realm like this?"

I said helplessly.

"Ahaha......"

“…… I feel like I have two pandas. ”

Is this how these two Demon Pandas live here?

Should I laugh or sigh?

Forget it, there are many rooms anyway, and now there are three rooms in addition to my room, (no bed, RIP). As far as the status quo is concerned, it's not a bad thing - it's just that I can't figure out Su Hongyuan's time bomb.

"Do you have more goals like that in the future?"

"Of course - I don't have a lot of goals."

"And who's next?"

I asked.

"The next one—the next resurrected man."

She hesitated and stood up.

"Perhaps, by taking this opportunity, we can get a stronger partner to join us."

"What's that......"

When I hear 'buddy' once, I feel like it's going to be terrible.

"I want to bring a girl back to life—"

"...... girl?"

"There was a serious fire in Harbor City seven years ago, and this girl was the victim at that time."

"...... Harbor City? Isn't it a thousand cedars? ”

Harbour City is quite a distance away, and it's an hour by rail.

"Ah—because of limited energy. To tell you the truth, the resurrection effect of the resurrection book has a CD (cooldown). My current goal is mainly in Chisugi City, but I would like to use this opportunity to leverage 'one person'. ”

"Alone? Isn't that girl? ”

"Hmm...... That girl is my target, but that girl is connected to another person. ”

"What's that girl's name......

"Hmmm......"

She hesitated again, and today she always spoke intermittently.

"The girl's name is - Lin Benai. He was a preschool child before his death. ”

"So...... Young? ”

I frowned. Of course, I don't have a problem with 'helping a young toddler', I just don't understand her behavior and way of thinking.

"Their family was a victim of the fire that happened seven years ago, and three lives were lost in the fire of a family of four. - Only one person escaped. ”

“……”

["His name is Lin Benxu, Lin Benai's brother. ”】

Su Hongyuan said.

I don't remember the name because I'm a Sensugi person, and although I've heard of the fire before, I haven't learned much about it.

"What's wrong with this person?"

"In the internal information of the 'Hong Kong Society', he is defined as the [God of Destruction]."

What kind of existence is the 'Hong Kong Association' again? All I know now is that the founder of the 'Hong Kong Society' is a 'principal' from the Demon Realm, with strong scientific research strength. But I don't know how far it has got.

"The strength of the God of Destruction is extremely strong, if you can use [Resurrection Lin Benai] as a bargaining chip, maybe you can make a deal with him?"

"Deal?"

"Well, I want him to be my partner. Even if it's for a short time. ”

"I don't understand, as a God of Life who brings others back to life. Why look for the God of Destruction, whose name symbolizes death? ”

I asked dryly, and that was indeed my question.

“……”

Hongyuan's affection became serious.

"Because my career isn't all smooth sailing."

She said heavily.

"What do you mean......

"There's rat poop ruining my good deeds."

Her language became sharp, and it seemed that she hated 'that person' quite a bit.

“…… ...... do you mean? ”

["That person is called 'Nian Qi God', and he has been destroying what I have created. It seems to be coming for me. ”】

“…… Thoughts of the spirit? ”

A new name has appeared, why are there so many 'gods' in this world.

"He's slaughtering."

"Massacre ......?"

"Since I got this notebook, I've managed to bring 12 people back to life."

“……”

"But nine of the 12 resurrected people have already been killed by him."

“9…… So who are the remaining 3? ”

I asked, only to see Su Hongyuan stretch out his finger.

"Kawanayuki, and—the two people sitting in this room."

I shuddered suddenly.

In other words, except for me and Xiaohong, who had already been the previous 'Kawa Mingxue', the rest of the resurrected people were all killed by the Nian Qi God.

"I can only bring the dead back to life, but I don't have the power to protect him. To tell you the truth, I am far from being a match for the 'Nian Qi God'. That's why I need you—"

Su Hongyuan eagerly grabbed my hand.

"I need more strong partners."

"So、What happened to that Kawanayuki?"

"As far as I know, he has the dual protection of the police and the 'other gift,' and is relatively safe for now."

"Yes...... That's good. ”

"If, if we can let Lin Benxu join us, defeat the Nian Qi God. There will be no more interference with us. ”

"That-let me ask, can you resurrect [the second death]?"

I mean, will she be able to resurrect those who were killed by the god of Nianqi again.

"I've tried and it doesn't seem to work. I don't know why—maybe it was the Nian Qi God who destroyed the victim's 'soul qi' together, and even the soul was gone. ”

“…… Gas. What is the meaning of 'qi'? ”

"Everything has 'qi', and you and I also have 'qi' in our bodies and souls, which is the root of the existence of all things and the root of all things. It can be understood as the soul. - That's what I thought. ”

"Nian Qi Shen...... Is it the god who has mastered such 'qi'? ”

"He's not a 'god', just a ghost executioner who takes pleasure in killing."

Su Hongyuan said.

"When are you going to go to Lin Benxu, I don't think it's too late."

"No, don't rush it."

"Why?"

"My purpose is only to stop the 'Nian Qi God', and if he promises not to interfere with my actions again, I don't have to defeat him."

“……”

"Whether it's the Nian Qi God or the Destruction God, their strength is extremely strong, and if they tear their faces, I'm afraid that this will turn into a big melee with a bad impact."

"That's—that's right."

"After the matter of Chuan Mingxue is over, the spirit of Nian Qi will definitely focus on her. I want to find Nian Qi Shen and negotiate with him face to face. ”

"It's not a good choice, I remember you said earlier - he's pretty strong."

"I know—so...... I may need your help. If it's you...... immortal"

She said hesitantly, and I didn't know how to pick up her words.

“…… If he has his eyes on you, it's even better. ”

"Ahaha......"

I smiled awkwardly.

It seems that I have been involved in a terrible crisis, if it is the Nian Qi God who can destroy even the 'qi' of the human race, even if I am an immortal existence, I am estimated to be vulnerable in front of him.

"I know it's dangerous, so I'll protect you in the meantime."

I was relieved to hear her say that it was a fake, of course.

"I'm not that vulnerable."

I stood up and looked at the three people in the room, the two Demon Realm residents who were sleeping soundly, and Su Hongyuan who was trying to save the common people in front of me.

"My daily routine has completely disappeared from the moment I met you. Now I am greeted with only endless challenges and a more meaningful life. ”

There were never four people sitting in the house at the same time, but now it's done, even if it's just for a moment.

I also want to protect the present.

"I want to prepare myself for death – to have memories that are enough to be missed."
