Chapter 301: Igarashi's plea for help
Igarashi doesn't like to ask for help, because that's proof that he's not strong enough. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info But this time he had to admit that he couldn't do anything about it.
Igarashi didn't know when he had this thought, and by the time he noticed it, he was already more and more afraid that Barretta would come into contact with even the slightest danger.
While he could follow Barrett every step of the way, he knew he wasn't strong enough to make a promise that "I'll protect you no matter what happens."
However, these days, after hearing that the current situation in the Mirage Desert is not good, Barriet has repeatedly asked to return to her hometown to visit everyone. Igarashi knew that she must be worried about her relatives and friends back home, and wanted to see them safe and sound.
But did she think about her own safety? She knew that the situation was not good, otherwise she would not have asked anyone for help because she feared for the safety of her companions. However, he knew the danger and insisted on going to that dangerous place. And there is no practical way to guarantee one's own safety, which is simply recklessness, isn't it?
So, Igarashi stopped her and told her in a clear way, "Don't go to that dangerous place until the situation is unclear!"
At that time, Barriet didn't say anything, just held back tears and stopped talking. After that, she really didn't say anything like "I want to go back", and certainly didn't leave alone.
However, she became more and more depressed, and at first she could force a smile, and gradually began to look out of the window for a long time, and then she lowered her eyelids all day long, and sometimes stared at the letter sent by her father all day, and in the last few days she stayed in her room, and she still lay on the bed and tossed and turned when she couldn't sleep.
Today too, Hinata Nain and the others wanted to take her out for a walk, but in the end they couldn't call her out of the house.
Igarashi Suke felt disgusted with such a Barrette, and couldn't stand it very much. But he didn't know what to do, what exactly did he have to do to get Barrett back to normal while keeping her out of danger?
In order to find the answer that he couldn't come up with on his own, Igarashi Suke found the underground library of Hatsuba Castle. He wanted to meet Li Mengxi, who was busy here, and felt that if it was a "general", there would definitely be a way, and an absolute powerhouse like a "general" could solve any problem.
So, he went to the third basement floor, and first met Clark and Leon.
Then, under their guidance, he continued to walk, checking the space between the bookshelves on the left and right as he went. He is fast, hovering between a quick step and a trot.
Because, it didn't take long for him to see Li Mengxi's fiery red figure between the two rows of bookshelves on the left-hand side, as if he was looking at a book intently.
However, Igarashi still wants to bother him.
"General!" he stopped at the intersection of the longitudinal corridor and the horizontal corridor and called out to Li Mengxi.
Hearing Igarashi Suke's voice, Li Mengxi subconsciously glanced away, and at the same time closed the book with the five fingers of his right hand.
"Smack!"
In an instant, Igarashi suke felt a cold wind of absolute zero sweeping towards him, piercing through layers of defense like a sharp blade and penetrating into his heart, taking away all the temperature, the symbol of life, in an instant. He felt the ice start from within, inch by inch, and freeze outward, from the inside out, to the end of his fingertips.
In addition, there is a strong sense of oppression, as if an entire mountain is smashed from the top of the head, and the flesh, bones, and even souls are crushed into powder with a single blow.
Igarashi immediately sensed the source of this bone-chilling and soul-rushing coercion.
That's killing intent!
He seemed to see Li Mengxi quickly approaching him, piercing his heart with his pair of blood-red double swords, and then slashing it in two, but he had no power to resist.
In the face of death, at the end of the cold and majestic, the fear of the root gushed out like a spring and quickly spread into a vast ocean.
But in the next second, the boundless killing intent that Igarashi felt quickly subsided.
Li Mengxi noticed who was calling him, and as soon as his thoughts changed, he temporarily put Moriarty's matter behind him, and the rapid killing intent naturally disappeared.
"Hah...... Whew......"
Igarashi Suke, who came back to his senses, gasped for a few times, and finally calmed down his heart beating in fear.
Seeing this, Li Mengxi couldn't help but take a few steps forward and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nope. Igarashi replied with an expressionless face and said, "It's my problem." β
"Yes. Li Mengxi, who was unaware of his identity as the initiator, responded. After a slight pause, he then asked, "Anyway, why are you here, how is Barrett's side?"
"That guy is still stuck in his room, just tossing and turning in bed. As he spoke, Igarashi gritted his teeth hatefully, "I can't stand it anymore! That guy shouldn't be like this! Jumping around and being indomitable is what that guy should be! How could it be like this!"
"Everyone has times when they are weak, but Barriet is not as strong as you think. β
"No! It can't be like this! That strength is her brilliance. Now it's not her at all, it's just some kind of disgusting existence. I couldn't tolerate being around such people, but I didn't know why I couldn't leave. β
Igarashi looked at Li Mengxi with a look of help. The latter was surprised, because it was the first time he had seen him look like this.
"General, please give me orders, what should I do?"
"So......" Li Mengxi became serious, continued to move forward, stood in front of Igarashi Suke, and looked directly into the other party's eyes, "Which one do you want?"
"......" Igarashi said after a pause, "I don't know, I just want her to return to her dazzling posture in the past." β
Hearing this, Li Mengxi smiled slightly and said loudly: "Then you go back and tell her, 'I'll take you home', that's it." β
"No, it's too dangerous. Does the Admiral know that the portal and communication have been cut off? β
"Of course I do. But so what. Taking Barrett where she wants to go is what you have to do. As for you, I will lead you, stand in front of you and lead you forward, which is called a 'general'. Isn't it?"
After the words were closed, Li Mengxi passed by Igarashi Suke, and walked briskly along the longitudinal corridor in the direction where the third staircase was located. Igarashi stared behind him stunned, then bowed silently.
"Clark, Leon!"
He called out loudly. Soon two figures emerged from between the bookshelves.
"What's wrong?"
As soon as Clark Voss stepped out, he saw something flying towards him, and he hurriedly took it to see its true face.
"Books?"
"Affected helped me make a copy of it. β
"What about you?" asked LΓ©on Friedrich as he watched Li Mengxi pass by.
"Go to the royal city and make a visit. Li Mengxi replied loudly, and his footsteps kept moving away.
