Chapter 759: Please Let Me Die Peacefully
During that time, every time Baili Pangpang used the Forbidden Ruins for something, it would summon the Thunder Beast. He might as well take the opportunity to tease it — it could be said that every three days he gave it a little tug, every five days a big one, practically trying to rub all the fur off the Thunder Beast's tail.
And whenever the Thunder Beast was about to unleash divine punishment, he would simply use the power of disarm everything to tug at the Thunder Beast's tail, deflecting its attacks. Over time, Baili Pangpang became number one on the Thunder Beast's kill list.
Baili Pangpang had no doubt that if the Thunder Beast could really jump down from the clouds, it would definitely trample him to death first.
"It's not that serious, right?" Cao Yuan looked up at the peak of the thunderclouds. "I think, since you provoked it so much before and it still didn't come down from the clouds, it probably won't this time either…"
Whoosh—!
Before Cao Yuan could finish speaking, on the thundercloud above where lightning surged, the deep-blue giant beast suddenly used its four limbs to用力 thrust, carrying endless thunder and fierce wind, and in a roar rapidly fell toward the mortal world!
Cao Yuan was stunned.
"We're done for." Baili Pangpang's expression froze completely. "That guy… is definitely not something we can handle."
…
Somewhere in Tokyo.
Uncle Kyosuke walked through the deserted streets, arriving before an empty plot of land. He reached out and touched the [Illusory Pupil] at his waist, and a flicker of pale golden light flashed from the blade's surface.
In the empty plot of land, a small house materialized.
When An Qingyu witnessed this scene, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
It was still his first time seeing the power of the [Illusory Pupil] with his own eyes. Before the illusion was dispelled, even his [Only Correct Answer] had failed to detect anything unusual here, showing that this blade's power was indeed terrifying.
If there was a chance, he really wanted to study this blade thoroughly too…
An Qingyu's gaze toward the [Illusory Pupil] burned with intensity.
Uncle Kyosuke led An Qingyu and Jialan, opened the door to his home, and walked in quickly.
The house was clean and tidy. Though there were many ingredients or snacks on the surrounding tables, it didn't look messy at all. It seemed Kyosuke was very attentive to household hygiene. An Qingyu took a simple walk around the house, and finally fixed his gaze on the white-haired young man on the bed.
Yuzuri Takishiro lay quietly on the bed, his snow-white long hair hanging from the pillow to the floor. His brow was tightly furrowed, his face completely bloodless, and his breathing was so faint it was barely perceptible.
An Qingyu walked to his side, a gray shadow flickering in his eyes.
"Yes, it's indeed a genetic defect eruption, as I predicted." After personally confirming Yuzuri Takishiro's condition, An Qingyu nodded.
"Then I'll give him the drink?"
"Mm."
After receiving An Qingyu's affirmative answer, Uncle Kyosuke walked to the bedside, bringing the test tube obtained from the disaster of disease to Yuzuri Takishiro's lips, letting him drink it.
Then, Uncle Kyosuke sat by the bed, waiting with worry.
Boom—!!
From the distant sky, a terrifying roar came.
An Qingyu and Jialan's expressions changed simultaneously as they walked to the window and looked outside. In the thundercloud where lightning surged, the massive deep-blue beast opened its mouth in a roar, then its four limbs heavily stepped on the cloud's edge, directly falling from the sky!
Boom!!!
The Thunder Beast's massive form crashed into the ground, and the entire Tokyo ground shook violently. Taking where it landed as the center, all the small houses were crushed to fragments by an invisible shockwave. The tall buildings swayed violently before collapsing with a thunderous crash.
Its descent was like the apocalypse arriving. The people around fled frantically!
Rolling thick smoke instantly obscured that stretch of sky.
Seeing this, An Qingyu's eyes immediately turned grave.
Previously, when Baili Pangpang had pulled this Thunder Beast out, he had already used the [Only Correct Answer] to analyze the Thunder Beast's strength. Though it couldn't compare to the two true gods he had seen in the mist, its level was definitely above the Human Apex.
The spirit of a divine artifact was, in another sense, a mythological creature.
Such an existence personally descending — within Tokyo… no, the entire "Human Enclosure" might not have a force capable of resisting it.
This was going to be troublesome.
"Should we go help?"
Jialan looked at where the Thunder Beast had landed, which happened to be near Lin Qiye's previous position. Her eyes were full of worry.
"Go." After only a moment of deliberation, An Qingyu nodded decisively.
He absolutely could not let Lin Qiye face that kind of monster alone.
Although, even if their entire [Nightfall] squad acted together, they definitely wouldn't be a match for even one move from this Thunder Beast, but abandoning their captain to flee — they couldn't do such a thing��
Moreover, in that instant just now, An Qingyu had already thought of a method.
This method might be able to resist the Thunder Beast's attack, and might even be able to kill it…
It's just that this method wasn't very friendly to the Cao Thief.
But if they were really driven to a dead end, this might be the only way out.
After brief hesitation, An Qingyu walked to Uncle Kyosuke's side and said:
"I've examined your son's condition. He's already drunk that bottle of medicine — he should wake up soon and will be fine.
If everything goes smoothly this time, our squad will be leaving here soon. I'll need about three to four months to prepare the medicine that can completely cure him. At that time, I'll send someone to deliver the medicine to him. You can rest easy."
Uncle Kyosuke nodded. "I trust you."
An Qingyu hummed in acknowledgment. He walked quickly to the door but then stopped.
He turned back, looking at Uncle Kyosuke sitting alone beside Yuzuri Takishiro. He opened his mouth but still asked:
"You… really won't consider becoming my test subject?
If I inject you with the petrification agent now, you might still have a chance to survive…
Even if the probability is small, it's still better than none."
Uncle Kyosuke looked into An Qingyu's earnest eyes. His pale lips curved into a smile.
"Me…
I was a gigolo my whole life, living gloriously for a generation.
I've always been free and easy,
In the end, I don't want to die looking like a monster…
Especially… in front of my own son…"
Uncle Kyosuke turned his head, gently stroking the forehead of the unconscious Yuzuri Takishiro. A tender smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"Please let me die peacefully as a qualified father."
Hearing these words, An Qingyu's pupils trembled slightly. He stood at the doorway for a long time before finally nodding.
"I understand…" he said. "Then, farewell."
"Mm." Uncle Kyosuke smiled as he looked at him. "Farewell. I wish your journey home… all the way smooth."
An Qingyu glanced at him one last time, then together with Jialan stepped out toward the door.
The moment they stepped out of the house, the small house behind them quickly faded from the air, vanishing without a trace, as if it had never existed.
