164 3.17.69 – Honeybee – Downfall of Humanity
Staring at the gif, Ziek followed Bing Shi, “This doesn’t count. I don’t believe in ghosts. I want a hug from you... not Kuro.”
“Why a hug, why not something else?” asked Bing Shi.
Ziek continued to stare at the gif, “I have to start small before going big.”
“What’s your big?” Bing Shi chuckled.
“I’ll tell you for a hug,” Ziek gripped his phone.
“That would be considered cheating.” Bing Shi swore to God. This big boy was a reincarnation of Xuan Mu! The funny thing was...he was!
“Cheating?” Ziek lifted his gaze, his eyes getting misty, “Before dying, he broke up with you. You don’t have a boyfriend.”
“Wh...No.” Bing Shi’s lips trembled. Having a hard time breathing, she still shouted out at the sleeping man inside of Ziek, “I hate you! Do you hear me?! I hate you so much! Why are you doing this to me?!” Closing the door to her tent, her knees went weak. Falling down, tears started to roll her cheeks uncontrollably.
Ziek put his forehead against the barrier, clutching his chest to prevent his heart from breaking apart, tears trickled down his eyes when an image of the broken girl appeared before his eyes. Shrieking at his death bed, fighting whoever got near the dead body, “...Bing Shi...argghh...” This was his first time seeing her in his past life. The tormenting feeling was too much for him to bear.
.....
“GO AWAY!!!!” Bing Shi plugged up her ears, while hundreds of problems resurfaced in her mind.
Kuro watched Bing Shi in confusion.
[Host what happened?]
The shaking Bing Shi continued gripping her head, refusing to answer.
A few soldiers frowned when they saw Bing Shi running inside her tent, and Ren Han falling on his knees before her doors. His cloak obscured their view, but he was clutching his chest as if in great pain.
Rushing towards him, they asked, “What happened?” Feeling the danger, they flew up to see the ground and air around Ren Han bending. When they attempted to get near, they were repulsed by an invisible power, not knowing that it was Bing Shi, who was pushing Ren Han away with her powers.
Without any orders, they were helpless, “Call general Yi Zen, Miss Bing Shi is in danger!”
By the time Yi Zen arrived, everything had gone back to normal, “What did you do to her?”
Sitting on the ground, leaning his back against Bing Shi’s door, Ziek was in no mood to talk to anybody, except... “Bing Shi, what are you doing to me, hm?” he mumbled gently to himself. If not separated by a thin obstacle, his back would be in contact with hers.
Yi Zen’s attitude changed. Why would Bing Shi react so strongly towards this man? ‘Don’t tell me...’ As a warning, he sent a bolt of lighting before Ziek, “Leave.”
Ziek lifted his hand and pointed a middle finger at Yi Zen, “...Argh...” He groaned in pain as he felt a bolt of lightning passing through his body.
‘~ Go out and clear the things up.’
Bing Shi pumped her head with her palms in refusal.
‘That’s what they want me to do.’
‘I don’t want to clean after their mess.’
‘~ You are creating unnecessary problems.’
‘I’m not. Why is everything my fault?’
Yi Zen chained Ren Han with a string made of lighting, the heat scorched Ren Han’s clothes and skin. Flying down, he sent a powerful kick towards Ren Han’s shoulder, hearing a crack, the impact sent the man in black flying.
Without fighting back, Ziek crashed against the wall, ignoring the pain, his eyes never left Bing Shi’s tent.
‘~ Stop being an attention seeker.’
‘I’m not, he is. I don’t want to be here anymore.’
‘~ You can’t leave. You didn’t finish your mission.’
‘I can wait it out far away from others.’
‘~ No. You have too many responsibilities.’
‘But I don’t want to meet him.’
‘~ Ungrateful. He is helping you with your mission.’
‘I didn’t force him. He doesn’t know my missions.’
‘~ You should take responsibility. You played with his feelings.’
‘I didn’t.’
‘~ He is in pain because of you.’
‘He has nothing to do with me.’
‘~ He does. There’s a part of Xuan Mu in him.’
Bing Shi refused to move on from Xuan Mu. Walking towards her bed, she covered herself with a blanket. Putting on headphones, she turned the volume on max and closed her eyes. She just finished a mission. Let her take a rest.
Yi Zen eyed the battered Ren Han in animosity, “Whoever heals him, will be punished.”
*Death silence*
Could someone tell these clueless soldiers what the heck was happening?!?!? Ignoring Ren Han’s sorry state, they continued with their duties.
Ziek wiped down the blood from the corner of his mouth with his left hand, staggering towards Bing Shi’s tent, he sat back at his previous spot. Was he not worthy for her to come out to him? Why couldn’t these injuries overshadow his feelings? Taking out his phone, he got a message from Kuro, who was immediately to contact HQ, whenever there were some problems regarding Bing Shi.
Kuro: You’ve got a warning from the HQ. If you cause any more emotional imbalance in Bing Shi, you’ll be forcefully withdrawn from this world. Bing Shi’s mind should always be focused on her missions. Henceforth you are forbidden to tell her this secret.
Ziek almost crushed the phone in his hands. A few cracks appeared on the screen. Was this what it felt like to have no power?
Ziek: What is she doing? Did she tell you something? Is she ok?
Kuro: Currently sleeping? I don’t know. She keeps pumping her head while crying. Host doesn’t want to speak to me.
Ziek bit his lips in distress. Leaving a light kiss on the barrier, he flew toward his base, while gaining as much information from Kuro as possible.

Never be too confident. Overconfidence gives you little to no space for improvements.
