Arknights: It Was Game Over for Me a Bit Too Early

"It's just a demon... just a demon! That's all!"

Bang!

Hong Yu's fist smashed into the surrounding rocks, and the huge rock instantly shattered into countless pieces that flew out.

Hong Yu gritted his teeth and clutched his forehead, trying to resist his gradually disintegrating consciousness.

In the end, he still decided to use his own consciousness to seal the demon.

Heh, just a moment ago I was advising Shu to be better to herself, and now, not even two years later, I'm here sealing a demon myself...

"Cough, cough! Cough, cough! Cough!" A few mouthfuls of pus and blood came out of Hong Yu's mouth. Finally, he collapsed in the mountains and let out a relieved breath.

But even so... Hong Yu still felt that using his own life, which was almost at its end, to exchange for Shu's safety...

It's worth it, isn't it?

Next... is to slowly and completely kill off the demons in this part of the Great Wild City. It might take some time, right?

That's fine... I can spend a little more time with them.

After a while, the exhausted Hong Yu stood up, trembling, and walked back slowly.

Sure enough... I, who have been worn down by time... am a little too weak.

Speaking of which, Shu, who would have sealed the demon's consciousness alone for a thousand years, is really admirable.

At this time, the sun was just beginning to rise slowly, and the moon was also about to set.

Shu was still immersed in her dreams. Hong Yu, who had finally walked back, did not plan to disturb her, but instead began to prepare a way to deal with the famine in the Great Wild City himself.

Although the matter of the demons had been resolved, the low grain production could not save the Great Wild City.

Perhaps in his prime hundreds of years ago, he could have instantly created enough food for the people of the Great Wild City and even the entire Yan, but now...

...I can't do it.

The best way Hong Yu could think of now was to forcibly change the genes of a plant to achieve mass production. This was something he could still do at present.

As for Shu... let her rest a little longer.

When I'm gone, she'll have plenty to be busy with.

Tired, he sat down on the chair at the door and slowly closed his eyes.

Now, let me rest for a while...

...

...

...

The same time, a different place.

Xi was holding Hong Yu's arm with both hands, her whole body almost snuggled into his arms. Sleeping soundly, she would even let out little cat-like purrs from time to time.

But at this moment, this Hong Yu couldn't sleep because of a headache.

He had once again helped Xi suppress the consciousness of "Sui," but as just a "fragment" himself, he was hit by a backlash in that instant.

Although the suppression of "Sui" was still very successful, Hong Yu felt a wave of mental exhaustion, followed by a severe headache.

His tightly closed eyes slowly opened, his eye sockets full of bloodshot veins.

He gently placed the warm, soft jade in his arms on the bed, and then he walked out with light, slow steps.

...

...

...

"Cough, cough!"

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Hong Yu adjusted his body to make his complexion look a little better.

I can't... I can't collapse so quickly, my consciousness.

Ling still needs me over there.

Hong Yu coughed a couple of times. Following Ling's habits, he found her at this time, holding a wine gourd, leaning against the giant tree in the courtyard, sleeping soundly with her beautiful brows furrowed.

Hong Yu's hand gently tapped between Ling's eyebrows, suppressing the consciousness of "Sui."

"Cough, cough! Cough, cough!!" In an instant, the pain, like thousands of needles piercing his brain, was constantly magnified and multiplied. Hong Yu covered his mouth to stop the blood from coughing out.

And Ling's furrowed brows gradually relaxed. After her breathing returned to a stable state, she opened her eyes in a daze.

"Yo, you're awake?" Hong Yu chuckled lightly.

"Mm..." Ling said indistinctly, and then held Hong Yu's hand.

"What dream did you have this time?"

"You guess?" she smiled brightly.

"Ling, I'm old now, I don't have much time left. Just do me a favor and tell me what you dreamed about one last time."

"Alright, alright, I'll tell you," Ling seemed to be amused by Hong Yu's exaggerated statement. She replied helplessly.

The person in front of her, whose face was still ridiculously young, was saying that he was old. To Ling, this was just a slightly mean joke.

But, for Hong Yu, perhaps it was a notice to Ling.

His eyes were silent for a moment, and then he suddenly looked in Ling's direction.

His shoulder moved slightly, and then there were no more movements.

Ling noticed Hong Yu's movement, but she just continued to tell her dream.

...

...

...

"Old fellow, why aren't you telling stories today?" Today's Nian came to Hong Yu's side as usual, looking forward to him starting the next story. But this time, Hong Yu did not tell the next story as Nian had expected.

He was holding his favorite tanghulu in his hand, just eating it on his own.

"There are no more stories today, Nian."

If I tell one more, I definitely won't be able to finish it.

My time is not enough.

"Let me look at some other storybooks with you," Hong Yu handed Nian another tanghulu.

"Eh! No! You tell me!" Nian reached out and took it, but it was the one that Hong Yu had already eaten from.

"There really are no more," Hong Yu smiled bitterly.

His heart was already about to stop beating.

...

...

...

The capital city, Sui Regulator.

"Wang... you've gradually become familiar with the work of the Sui Regulator..." Hong Yu looked at the documents handled by Wang in his hand and expressed his admiration.

"Master... you..." Wang on the side frowned. He could feel that in just a few years of not seeing him, Hong Yu's aura had weakened a lot.

"Me?" Hong Yu looked at Wang's worried face and waved his hand with a smile. "You can tell? Wang, I'm old. Are you interested in taking over the job of Prefect? Just think of it as taking some of the burden off me?"

"You want to pass the position of Prefect to me?!" Wang was at a loss for a moment. Although he had long expected that Hong Yu would one day hand over the position of Prefect to him, but this time...

It was a little too early, wasn't it?

Hong Yu, as if not noticing Wang's窘迫 expression, casually untied the Prefect's token that he had specially worn at his waist this time, held it in his hand, and showed it to Wang.

"Two days later, I will submit my resignation request to Yan. At that time, it will be your turn to become the next Prefect."

Wang looked at Hong Yu in a daze.

For these hundred years, Wang, who was used to calculating the world, had always had one thing he would not do.

And that was to "calculate" his family.

Hong Yu was obviously also included in Wang's understanding of "family," so he was a little surprised.

He didn't understand. Why did the Master... seem to be in a particular hurry?

...

...

...

The northwestern border of Yan, Yumen.

"Master?" Chongyue didn't expect to see Hong Yu today. He was stunned for a second and then enthusiastically invited Hong Yu to sit in the barracks.

"Chongyue, you've really... become a lot calmer," Hong Yu was a little emotional for a moment. To this, Chongyue just smiled sheepishly.

"Master, you... don't have to bring up my embarrassing past, right?"

"Hahahaha... of course not," Hong Yu was amused by Chongyue's helpless expression. He patted Chongyue's shoulder and brought up the reason for his visit this time.

"Chongyue, that sword of yours that sealed your authority... where is it? Let me see it."

"That sword?" Chongyue pinched his chin. He didn't care about the reason why Hong Yu was looking for the sword, and naturally led Hong Yu to the location of the sword.

He would never doubt whether Hong Yu would do anything disadvantageous to the twelve fragments.

It's just... why did the Master take out that sword and then put it back?

At this time, Hong Yu spoke up.

"Shuò... no, Chongyue," his tone was calm, as if he was saying something very ordinary. "Let's have another fight, just outside the border of Yumen, so we don't disturb the people."

"I won't limit my own power. Although this is a bit unfair to you who have already sealed your authority, but... forget it, are you ready?"

"Master, what is the meaning of this?" Chongyue was stunned, but the only answer he got was ice chains that suddenly drilled out from the ground.

The battle was about to break out.
