Time in a collapsing world

"Take them back? Got it."

After hearing the order from above, the leader breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously. Although the two of them might not be too happy after being brought back to the Fire Chasing Moth, they could at least save a life.

"I'll escort him." At this time, Sakura, whose left hand was bandaged, said proactively. She looked at the motionless Qianjie, "You probably won't be able to control him."

"Please." The leader nodded and asked someone to drive the escort vehicle over.

"Get up, I know you have regained the ability to walk." Sakura grabbed one of Qianjie's arms and pulled him up.

Sure enough, after being helped up, Qianjie was able to stand with his own strength like a normal person, which really shocked the few people looking around.

He was almost shot into a hornet's nest. Even if he didn't die, he could still have such a level of mobility? If he recovers for a while, will this guy be able to run? No, maybe he can run away now.

With this thought, many soldiers raised their guns and pointed nervously in the direction of Qianjie.

"Let's go."

Sakura pushed Qianjie's back and pushed him into a prison van.

"..."

Qianjie did not move, but looked at the corpses displayed on the ground. The expression on his face was completely unclear under the mask.

And even his uncooperative attitude made the soldiers hold their guns tighter.

"...Please cooperate, if you want to save your life." Sakura reminded.

Qianjie turned his head sharply and stared at Sakura. His gaze under the mask almost burned through her, but he didn't move, even though he could easily break free of the shackles on his body.

"Please cooperate." Sakura emphasized again.

"Hey." Qianjie shook off Ying's hand and walked forward on his own. If he hadn't walked in the direction of the prison car and stepped into the car consciously, otherwise the soldiers around him would have been there. Pull the trigger and let him experience the rain of bullets again, right?

"What about her?" The leader pointed to Aponya, who was still kneeling.

"Escorted separately or...?"

"Let's go together." Sakura walked to Aponya's side and saw her hands clasped on her chest, as if she was praying or repenting.

Without disturbing her, Sakura just waited beside her, making the soldiers look at each other in confusion.

"...Thank you." After an unknown amount of time, Aponya stood up. She looked at the killer who had killed all the children. She had no anger or resentment, but was just calm.

The sinner is not her, but herself.

"..." Sakura nodded slightly, put a hand on her back, and led Aponya to the prison car where Qianjie was.

When Sakura sat on it, someone immediately closed the door.

"Let's go, the mission is completed. Leave a few people to clean the battlefield, and the rest will get in the car." The leader ordered.

"Yes!"

……

In the prison car, Qianjie and Aponya were sitting on one side, while Sakura was sitting opposite them. She pulled out the knife from her waist and was wiping it on her leg.

"Hey, woman, you just said that those children were infected with Honkai Disease?" Qianjie suddenly spoke up.

"Yes." Sakura stopped wiping the knife in her hand and simply replied without raising her head.

"Are their other words true?" Apparently, Qianjie had listened to all the conversations between Aponya and the leader.

"Correct."

"Is it……?"

Qianjie did not turn around, but his next words were obviously addressed to Aponya beside him: "No wonder children die every once in a while. No wonder you are unwilling to tell me the reasons for their death. It turns out... Is that so?"

Sakura couldn't help but raise her head at this time. She seemed to feel Qianjie's anger being ignited again, but this time the target was not her, but Aponya, who had been silent.

"...I just don't want you to worry." Aponya closed his eyes.

"Don't want me to worry? Hahahaha...!" Qianjie burst out laughing. He lowered his head, his shoulders shaking uncontrollably amidst the laughter.

"...I'm sorry, I didn't know that my behavior would lead to this result." Aponya's voice was very low, almost drowned out by Qianjie's crazy laughter.

The laughter stopped.

"Tell me, Li, does he know about this?"

"This is all my willfulness and has nothing to do with him." Aponya said softly.

"Tell me, does he know?!"

Qianjie stood up abruptly and looked condescendingly at Aponya, who had always lowered his head.

"please sit down."

Sakura's knife was pressed against Qianjie's neck, but the other party turned a blind eye and still stared at Aponya.

"He... knows." Forced by Qianjie's momentum, Aponya finally answered.

"You all know..." Qianjie suddenly broke free from the shackles on his body and punched Aponya on the side of the head, causing the entire prison car to shake several times.

Pfft——!

Sakura's knife had cut into Qianjie's neck, and blood suddenly flowed out.

"Look at the results now, are you satisfied?"

"Everyone died because of your so-called willfulness!"

"More and more children infected with Honkai Disease are being adopted... more and more..."

"Looking at the child who became a dead soldier, what do you think? Tell me, what do you think?!"

"Do you really think you are the savior? Do you really think you can save everyone? Hahahahahaha!!! You, this ridiculous idea should be crushed into dregs, burned to ashes, and trampled wantonly like you!"

"You all deserve to die..."

The last sentence was so cruel, yet so weak. Qianjie sat back in the corner and turned his head to the other side, as if he didn't want others to see his face.

Although he is such a tall figure, he gives people a feeling of loneliness.

"……sorry."

Aponya's voice was trembling, and she could do nothing but apologize now.

"..."

Sakura retracted the knife in silence and looked at the new wound on Qianjie's neck. She found some bandages in the car and threw them at him casually.

no response.

Sakura didn't care about him anymore, but continued to wipe her knife and wipe the new blood stains on it, as if she had completely lowered her guard against Qianjie.

Even if Qianjie has broken free, even if they are locked in the same confined space, even if her speed cannot be used here.

It's no longer necessary.

After seeing the scene just now, Sakura had clearly seen the current situation and the person Qianjie, and therefore confirmed that he would not launch an attack at this time.
