Perhaps the light was too dim for him to notice the determination in her eyes. Thus, later on, whenever he thought of this day, he would wonder if, if he had noticed her actions back then, the young girl who had always been smiling at him, would not have disappeared.

But there was no if.

The night was extremely quiet.

She fell asleep quietly by the fire, but Luo Si was unable to fall asleep.

He remembered many things, the past, the present, the gods, humans, responsibilities, Emma, himself, her … He thought, maybe he should have done that long ago …

The pure white bones faintly emitted a holy golden light. A hexagonal star vaguely appeared between the fingers. Although the light was weak, it emitted a scorching energy. He looked for a long time before putting his hand away.

The flame was extinguished, and a sigh resounded in the darkness.

Tang Xiaotang was unable to sleep soundly, and all she had to do the entire night was to dream of strange things.

Sometimes she would dream of being chased by others, sometimes she would dream of the strange man in white, sometimes she would dream of the mysterious woman who would laugh maniacally with her head raised, and then it was as if she had fallen into a hole of ice, so cold that her blood would freeze.

Cold, cold... Cold... How cold …

Tang Xiaotang felt herself shivering as she tried her best to curl up in order to store some heat.

Suddenly, a warm energy entered her body, and the cold energy that gathered in her body was instantly dispersed. Her body recovered a bit, but the cold energy spread to her four limbs. Her limbs became so cold that they became numb.

Tang Xiaotang had not been able to sleep soundly the entire night, but she just could not wake up.

In her strange dreams, she saw the long-haired lady, whose face could not be seen, place a sharp weapon at Luo Si's chest. She wanted to say something, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not make a sound.

"Master Luo Si, be careful!"

Tang Xiaotang screamed as she woke up from her dream. The moment she opened her eyes, she discovered that the sky had already completely brightened.

The bright and beautiful sunlight shone through the cracks in the broken wall. Tang Xiaotang sat up from the ground.

A closer look revealed that it was Luo Si's clothes, although there were traces of blood on the torn and tattered clothes.

Tang Xiaotang removed the clothes that she was wearing, and only then did she realise that Luo Si was not here.

Wait, where's Luo Si? He wasn't going to go solo again, was he?

"Master Luo Si?"

Tang Xiaotang immediately jumped up, she did not have the time to tap open the map, she ran out of the room, and saw the familiar figure outside.

Luo Si stood next to a burnt and withered tree. His upper body only had a skeleton.

"Master Luo Si, why are you here?"

Tang Xiaotang heaved a sigh of relief. If he went over, then she would have come here for nothing. It seemed that she had to get rid of the curse as soon as possible.

She didn't know why, but she suddenly thought of that dream she had just had. Her eyelids twitched a few times. She had a nagging feeling that something bad was about to happen.

Luo Si did not answer her. He looked at the sunlight, not knowing what he was thinking. As a skeleton, Tang Xiaotang didn't think he had the ability to see anything from Yue Yang's face.

"Your clothes."

After handing the clothes over to him, Luo Si didn't accept them. Instead, he said softly, "Wear it." Last night, she had been very cold, so she had curled up her body next to the fire. He knew that because of the curse, her body wouldn't be able to withstand it even if he helped her suppress a portion of it.

Actually, Tang Xiaotang was very cold, but she did not feel that kind of cold anymore. Perhaps the curse was being suppressed, but the cold feeling from before was no longer on his body. Under the sunlight, Tang Xiaotang even felt a bit of warmth.

"Where are we going now?"

They definitely could not rush up again. Right now, the most important thing was to help him remove the curse, but that would require a day and a night.

"Go back."

Tang Xiaotang kept having the feeling that Luo Si was hiding something from her. She did not believe that he would give up such an opportunity to return.

But since she had interacted with Luo Si for such a long time, Tang Xiaotang understood Luo Si very well. If he did not want her to know the things he did not want her to know, he would never ask him no matter what.

But it didn't matter, she knew that he was stronger than she was, and thinking back to when Luo Si said that he was going to the Absolute Monarch Sanctuary to retrieve an item, he left by himself afterwards. Tang Xiaotang guessed that he probably took the item out to shake her off and get it herself.

There were pursuers here at any time. The two of them had reached their limit after staying for one night, so they quickly set off for their homeward journey.

There was no one on the way, so Luo Si walked in front. A walking skeleton, it seemed funny, but she couldn't laugh at all.

If not for all that had happened, he wouldn't be like this. Tang Xiaotang felt a bit sad, but also felt a bit uncomfortable. If dust were to fall from the sky, even someone with the slightest bit of power would find it hard to accept, let alone death who had once looked down upon all living beings.

But Luo Si had never complained before, he did not even show the slightest sign of giving up. Actually, as a god of death, he could totally disregard the lives of humans. After all, that had nothing to do with him.

In any case, no one other than him could enter the Sacred Domain. As long as he entered the Sacred Domain, no matter what happened outside, he would be able to live a good life. Although he was a little lonely, at least … There was no need to be like this, being chased like a mess …

"Master Luo Si, you, why do you care about this? "Anyway, even if all humans are dead, you won't die because of it …" Tang Xiaotang could not help but ask.

Actually, she felt that she and Luo Si were very similar, but completely different. Their mission was to maintain the stability of the world, but in reality, the destruction of the world didn't really have anything to do with them. Therefore, Tang Xiaotang had never been able to show a lot of enthusiasm towards Save the World.

She often thought that she would not have worked so hard had it not been for obsessive-compulsive disorder. She didn't know what a sense of responsibility was, and there was nothing like the sense of accomplishment that had saved the world. Every time she entered a world, she would be unable to substitute herself into it. She would just watch coldly from the sidelines, she could save as she wished, she could not save, and she would never sacrifice herself, even though such a scene had never happened before.

So why, why so insistent? Anyway, it had nothing to do with him, didn't it?

Luo Si went silent, and a moment later, Tang Xiaotang heard his voice.

"Because this is the responsibility."

"But that's not your fault. Even without you, what should have happened would have happened."

Even without Luo Si, the world would still be thrown into disarray in other ways. The bug that could not be skipped would not disappear easily once it existed.

"In that case, do you think I should hide and watch as the specters wreak havoc and the world is completely destroyed?" Luo Si stopped and turned to ask Tang Xiaotang.

Looking at his deep eyes, Tang Xiaotang suddenly felt at a loss: "I, I don't know..."
