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

Twelve souls of different colors floated in Hong Yu's hands. All of these souls were the consciousness of "Sui" from the twelve fragments.

Finally, Hong Yu had found a way to solve the great problem of "Sui."

He used his deep understanding of souls to forcibly strip the connection between them and "Sui" without harming the fragments.

Although it was a dangerous act to perform without harming the fragments, Hong Yu still succeeded.

He could always, at the last moment, transfer the damage to the soul to himself.

So, the fragments were not injured.

But Hong Yu, as the caster himself, had endured hundreds of injuries without interruption.

What was even more fatal was that the consciousness of "Sui" that had been stripped off could no longer be sealed by the Hong Yu who was like a candle in the wind now.

And once the evil thoughts of "Sui" were re-aggregated, and destroyed the trust that Hong Yu had accumulated over a hundred years between the people of Yan and the imperial city towards the fragments, it would be unthinkable.

This was absolutely what Hong Yu was unwilling to see.

So, Hong Yu decided to help them one last time at the final moment of his life this time, and also as the first "Prefect," to pave the way for them one last time.

To put it simply...

I'm taking you down with me!

Heh, Sui, you're a pretty nice guy.

You knew I wasn't good at dealing with partings, let alone having to part with twelve people one by one. So you just thought of a plan for me to die, right?

For his final battle as the "Prefect," Hong Yu actually didn't hold much hope.

To be on the safe side, he even chose his own spiritual space as the battlefield this time. Anyway, the current "Sui" was just a soul body. He could throw it wherever he wanted.

That way, even if he died, as someone who would travel through time and space back to the future, he would probably also take away the consciousness of "Sui."

When I get back to my body in its prime, let's see who suppresses whom?

Hah, although that's what I'm thinking, I should still go all out.

Hong Yu slowly merged the twelve strands of soul into one and placed it on his forehead.

His vision also disappeared in that instant.

When he opened his eyes again, the place he was in was a vast, boundless white land, and not far away was the "old acquaintance" who was all black, roaring from time to time, and crackling with electricity.

"Yo! Sui, long time no see!" Hong Yu started with a thousand bolts of lightning straight at Sui's head. This scene seemed to be exactly the same as that scene back then.

"ROAR!!!!!"

The earth-shattering roar stirred up waves in the space. Sui also did not show weakness and gathered several powerful bolts of lightning to strike at Hong Yu.

Tens of thousands of bolts of lightning intertwined in the sky, making a deafening thunderous sound.

Dazzling electric light bloomed between this one person and one beast. Enduring the injury to his own spirit, Hong Yu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Give me... HOLD!!" Hong Yu opened his hand towards Sui's direction and then quickly clenched it. In an instant, several thousand ice chains emitting a cold aura wrapped around Sui's huge body.

After that, Hong Yu sent another thousand bolts of lightning towards Sui's direction, and what followed was Sui's next move. Rocks like an avalanche flew towards Hong Yu.

This scene was like Hong Yu's first battle with Sui, but in fact, it was the final battle.

Although the battlefield inside was so spectacular and earth-shaking, what changed in the outside world was just one more mortal who gradually lost his breath of life, sitting in a house that was empty except for himself.

The light in his eyes gradually disappeared. He finally, as a mortal, had a limited lifespan, and his life and death were destined.

...

...

...

Ugh—

What's going on? I feel so light?

Ling stretched, smacked her lips, and suddenly felt very comfortable, as if the huge rock that had been pressing down on her all this time had suddenly disappeared.

"Old fellow?" Ling called out habitually, and waited for Hong Yu's response.

But this time, Ling did not wait for that familiar "Here, don't be noisy." Instead, after waking up, she did not find any trace of Hong Yu.

"Old fellow? Where is he?" Ling frowned, thinking that that guy must have secretly left her to go buy tanghulu. So she walked to the nearest town in a huff.

If he really went to buy tanghulu by himself, he would definitely forget to buy wine for me!

No, I have to go remind him. No matter what, he can't forget to buy wine for me!

Hmph... if he doesn't agree, I'll just kiss him. I really want to see him pretending to be calm again~

...

...

...

"A'Yao, where do you think he went?" Xi held A'Yao, looked at the empty studio, and asked the little guy in her arms.

"Gao—" (I don't know what you're saying, I'm just an A'Yao)

"Well, that's right. You probably don't know anything. He probably just went out to buy tanghulu or something, right? He'll be back soon," Xi was also amused by her own behavior of asking A'Yao questions.

She tilted her head slightly and looked at Gouwu City, which was surrounded by mist in the Huiqi Mountains. She once again raised the A'Yao in her hands and let it be level with her eyes.

"Say... should I tell him about my feelings for him when he comes back this time? Will he agree? He probably will, right? He seems to have never refused me anything..."

"Gao—Gao..." (So I already said I'm just an A'Yao. If you want to confess, go find the master.)

"It's decided! A'Yao, you'll help me rehearse the situation when Yu comes back!" Xi seemed to have made up her mind.

"Ga?" A'Yao was stunned. (What are you saying? Me? Help you rehearse?)

"Of course! And it's a way to pass the time while waiting for him to come back!"

...

...

...

"Where's the old fellow?" Nian scratched her messy white hair. She had run all over Shangshu to the places Hong Yu often went, and was even holding the ultimate weapon for luring Hong Yu—a stick of tanghulu.

Although she didn't know why she was surprisingly energetic when she woke up today, Hong Yu's sudden disappearance made her a little tired from searching.

Where did he go?

After a long search with no results, Nian had no choice but to eat this stick of tanghulu herself, one bite at a time, and walked back slowly.

It's not that I wanted to eat this myself. You're the one who didn't come to find me.

Forget it, that old fellow probably won't get into any trouble. I'll just wait for him to come back.

...

...

...

"Master, the seeds you brought have a very good yield!" Shu excitedly opened the closed door, but the room was empty.

She tilted her head in confusion, and after searching the room for a circle, she slightly furrowed her beautiful brows.

"Master?" she called out tentatively, and then quickly turned her head to look.

No one?

Is the Master not playing the boring game of sneak attacks from behind anymore?

"Master?" Shu's voice was a little louder, but she still did not get any response from Hong Yu.

Did he go out secretly by himself?

Could it be that he's craving food again? Went out to buy tanghulu?

Thinking this, Shu sighed slightly.

He sneaks out just before dinner. When he comes back, I'll have to give him a good talking to.
