StarTie Simulation: Aren’t you NPCs?

Chapter 219 Dao Heart Broken

To borrow a wise quote from Kafka: All good times must come to an end.

The daily lives of Wu Xuan and many other "knife-wielding men" also have an end, but... not now.

After a short sleep, everyone's life trajectory seemed to have returned to four Amber Ages ago.

They spread a carpet in the courtyard and everyone sat on it to enjoy the food and delicious drinks, while Wu Xuan and Huang Quan were still so "unsociable" and sat on the platform watching them.

Now they acted as if nothing had happened. They tacitly gave up the discussion of the "emptiness" and "truth" that had left them.

They even consciously avoid any topics related to singing idols and scientific research and development, for fear of being thought of them.

But this does not mean that they have learned how to protect their feelings from being hurt.

Today, Wu Xuan sat on the steps beside the courtyard as usual, looking at the swaying cherry trees in the courtyard and nodded gently.

"The weather seems pretty good today, do you want to go out for a walk, Boss?"

A "喰" sound came from behind Wu Xuan. He subconsciously looked back and found that everyone except Huang Quan came behind him quietly.

There were slight smiles on their faces, but in Wu Xuan's opinion... those smiles seemed a little forced after all.

"But maybe now is the time for them to go out for a walk together. Otherwise, if things go on for a long time... God knows what kind of internal friction they will become."

As Wu Xuan thought this, he slowly stood up and walked into the room.

"Eh?"

“Boss…?”

Hearing the commotion behind him, Wu Xuan looked back speechlessly and said, "What are you thinking about? I'll go call Miss Ming. Wait for me for a moment."

"oh oh?!"

The strange ups and downs of everyone's emotions made Wu Xuan at a loss for words for a moment.

"You guys are really... Never mind. I hope you'll all be ready when I come out."

Wu Xuan shook his head helplessly, and then knocked on Huang Quan's door.

"Enter."

Wu Xuan was slightly surprised when he saw Huang Quan, who was already dressed neatly.

"You...heard that?"

"It's hard to pretend not to hear their 'oh' sound." Huang Quan said calmly.

Wu Xuan shrugged without comment, then extended his hand to Huang Quan, as if inviting Huang Quan to go out with him.

Huang Quan didn't seem to have any particular objection to this. After handing his hand to Wu Xuan, he was pulled up from the bed by him, and then Wu Xuan left the room alone.

"I… No, we'll wait for you in the courtyard."

Huang Quan looked at the slowly closing wooden door and sighed slightly.

“Does all this really make sense?”

After saying that, Huang Quan turned his gaze to the light curtain in front of him.

[Main Quest (4/7) "Pain"]

[Mission Description: The people who protected the world were spurned by the world after everything was over. It was only because they were a little unstable that all their merits were forgotten. Although they were not stable, they were the ones who protected the world after all...]

[Mission Reward: "Night Sakura" x1]

[Mission Punishment: Dream Ends]

["Night Sakura": The cherry blossom rain drifting in the night sky is the sad story between you and me]

Huang Quan looked at the description of the object in front of him, which was so abstract that it couldn't be more abstract, and fell into deep thought for a moment.

"What is this... a crepe with white peach and caramel flavors mixed together?"

Huang Quan shook his head slightly, then pushed open the door and walked out.

……

A moment later, the ten of them were walking on the street in casual clothes.

In fact, they don’t need to choose some inconspicuous clothes. After all... they haven’t appeared in the public eye for a long time.

The unified name that was circulated in the hearts of the people of Izumo was now dressed in a different guise.

From a group of heroes, they turned into a group of monsters.

This is the reason why Wu Xuan seldom lets them go out. After all, there are always people on the street who like to bring up this matter over and over again and torture them.

This kind of environment, whether it is public opinion or normal social environment, is of no benefit to them at all.

But Wu Xuan still chose to let them go out for a walk. After all, if they didn't come out for a walk, it would probably have a counterproductive effect.

This is what Wu Xuan doesn't want to see.

There are numerous vehicles on the road, flowing continuously, and from time to time a few high-speed spaceships flash overhead.

Perhaps because today is a holiday, there are obviously more people on the street than usual.

"Lan" looked around, and his young face suddenly looked a little more experienced.

"It's really unforgettable... Under our protection, have they developed so quickly?"

Everyone shrugged without comment. They had no other opinion on this.

——After all, they are now considered evil spirits in the hearts of the people.

Just as everyone was sighing, a few students suddenly walked out from the alley beside them. They were talking and laughing, as if they had finished a day's work and were preparing to go home to rest.

This scene made everyone stunned at first, and then they nodded as if they understood.

"I guess he has finished his make-up classes?" "Shuang" speculated softly.

However, the next second, "Frost"... no, everyone except Wu Xuan heard for the first time the contemporary Izumo people's evaluation of them.

"Huh? Why did those 'knife-wielding men' who were called monsters disappear? Could it be that they were rounded up and dealt with by those big shots?"

"I guess so. Those monsters are too much of a threat to our lives. We might as well kill them all."

"But I heard they are immortal? Could it be that they have escaped and haven't been caught yet, but they don't want to cause panic?"

"Who knows? If you ask me, immortality is a joke. I guess they are always changing people. How can they have weapons but not obey people's orders?"

"That's right"

As the two students who were chatting and laughing gradually walked away, the smile on Shuang's face completely froze at this moment, and was replaced by a hint of boredom.

For them, what is important is not the so-called praise and eulogy, they just want to hear the voice of recognition.

They risked their lives to protect these people's parents, grandparents and even ancestors, but what was the result?

Everyone in Izumo owes them.

They endure the pain of immortality, the pain of their loved ones aging and passing away, and they have tasted almost every kind of pain in this world.

But... no one can understand them.

This is a sad thing, and the story of these "knife-wielding men" was destined to be a tragedy from the beginning.
