Chapter 408: Life is hard, it’s better to go back

The general trend of the world is that if it has been divided for a long time, it will unite, and if it has been divided for a long time, it will divide.

The empire that has stood on this continent for thousands of years is like a dying old man, full of decay and ruin.

In the last years of the dynasty, there were constant natural disasters and man-made disasters.

There are also dangerous species lurking in mountains, forests and rivers, jumping out from time to time to attack human settlements.

Civilians were displaced.

Countless refugees gathered from all directions towards the imperial capital, hoping to make a living in the most prosperous city in the world.

Unfortunately, this is not the place to chase your dreams.

The young and strong can still earn a living by serving as soldiers, and they don't know when they will die on the battlefield.

The old and weak can only wait to die here.

They either froze to death, starved to death, died of illness, or were beaten to death by the rich and powerful.

Even beating him to death would be a relief, and even worse, he would take the person home and torture him to death.

Skinned and cramped, burned and flooded, tortured, buried alive, bitten by dogs...

There is nothing they can't think of and nothing they can't do.

In their eyes, ordinary people are not human beings, but livestock and playthings.

They kill civilians because they are bored, they hunt civilians because they want to have fun, and they torture and kill civilians because they are jealous that they are prettier than themselves.

Misaka Mikoto met such a girl.

At first he pretended to be gentle and kind, but when he lured people home, his true colors were revealed.

In a certain room, Misaka Mikoto saw with her own eyes the skinned girl and other people who were abused.

The bloody scene almost made her vomit.

She held back from vomiting.

But he couldn't hold back the murderous intention in his heart, and directly blasted the girl who brought her home into pieces with a super railgun.

Then another railgun blast wiped the entire mansion off the planet.

The ground is shaking, causing panic.

Bai Ye ran back to her side.

"What's wrong, Mikoto, who made you angry?"

"you!"

"Ah? What does it have to do with me?"

"Who asked you to always bring me to such a cruel and inhumane world to travel and relax? A world like this is simply disgusting!"

"... Putting aside humans, at least the natural scenery in this world is still very good."

"Bah~!"

"..."

Boys and girls are noisy.

This time only the two of them came.

Niangniang?

She is not human.

Just now Byakuya went to do something else, so she asked Misaka Mikoto to go shopping by herself first.

As a result, this prosperous imperial capital was full of hungry people, and corpses were pulled out one by one.

There are also many demons in human skin.

Even after dark, Byakuya didn't come back. Misaka Mikoto, who was wandering alone, was stared at by the daughter of a nobleman.

As a result, he was killed instead of killing.

The smoke cleared and the specially protected hut was revealed.

There are a lot of abused people in there who are still alive.

The kind-hearted girl couldn't bear it. She quarreled with the boy for a few words and then took aim at the small house.

"If not, please save them."

"I think it would be better for them to be released as soon as possible. Life is difficult, so it is better to go back."

"...Go back?"

"Everything is born from nothingness. The so-called death is nothing more than the return of consciousness to nothingness."

"...Don't talk so much, just tell me whether to save him or not."

"I think we can ask their opinions. Maybe they also want to be relieved as soon as possible?"

"..."

The noisy girl walked into the bloody hut.

……

Life is hard, it is better to go back.

Some people want to continue living, and some people want to be relieved as soon as possible.

Bai Ye wants to live.

Refining qi and cultivating immortality is to live a better life.

As for whether others can survive, it doesn't matter to him.

Anyway, someone will always die, either this or that, either suicide or homicide. Of course, more often than not, it is natural birth, old age, illness and death.

The dead are dead.

Those who are alive will still be alive after all, it is just a matter of modifying their memories to allow them to return to normal life.

After satisfying the girl's kindness, the two of them left this ghost place directly.

<divclass="contentadv">Not long after, two girls appeared here.

They had arrived a long time ago and saw the boys and girls, but they didn't know whether they were friends or foes, so they didn't come out to contact each other.

"This is really..."

The big-breasted sister with yellow hair and yellow eyes swallowed her saliva while looking at Dakeng. She was probably shocked.

Such a large noble mansion has disappeared.

They still want to explore the situation.

Collect money from people and eliminate disasters for them.

They originally wanted to investigate the situation clearly and then deal with this evil person.

Now the situation has been investigated clearly and the bad guys have been dealt with.

"Who is that young girl? A Teigu user? Is there a Teigu that allows people to move through space?"

Leonai, who was born as a commoner, didn't know much about the number and scarcity of Teigu.

Ordinary people may not even know the existence of the Teigu, let alone understand it.

The girl with black hair and red eyes did not speak, but was thinking.

Are boys and girls enemies or friends?

If it is an enemy, how should we deal with it?

If not enemies, is it possible to turn them into friends?

After thinking in silence for a long time, the girl could only give up temporarily because she couldn't find the answer.

"Leone, let's go, go back first."

"it is good."

……

The human society in this world is very unfriendly.

There are wars all over the empire's borders, and the surrounding alien races are opposing the empire's rule.

Rebels are everywhere in the empire, and the oppressed civilians are holding up weapons of resistance.

However, the rule of the empire has not completely collapsed. Most of the rebels were quickly suppressed, and only a small number are still struggling to hold on.

The most powerful one at the moment should be the Revolutionary Army.

However, many people do not even know the existence of the Revolutionary Army, and all relevant information has been blocked.

Bai Ye knows.

But he was too lazy to care. He came here just for tourism and there was no need to help people in distress.

How human society develops depends on their own choices.

Misaka Mikoto didn't want to travel in this shabby place.

"You're here, let's just endure it for two days, and then go see other worlds."

"...Huh~."

Misaka Mikoto expressed her displeasure, but didn't say anything more.

The prosperous imperial capital is said to have a population of over ten million, which was definitely a miracle in ancient society.

But the Empire is not that ancient either.

Although it is a monarchy, although it still mainly relies on cold weapons, and although transportation still relies on cattle and horses, there are many industrial products here, and some of the elite troops of the Imperial Army are all equipped with thermal weapons.

Although there are only weapons similar to assault rifles, there are no such things as artillery.

Maybe there are, but they are rare.

Byakuya went shopping with Misaka Mikoto for a date. There were not so many homeless people in the area with good security, and the spirits of passersby seemed pretty good.

However, only a small part of the area has good security, and only a small part has good spirit.

There are more numb eyes that see no hope, but are not dead yet.

If you don’t explode in silence, you will die in silence.

There are many people in this world who die in silence.

Will there be a day when it breaks out?

roughly has.

……

On a new day, Byakuya took Misaka Mikoto outside for an outing.

There are many powerful creatures called "dangerous species" in this world.

But to them, they are just special animals, and they don’t need to pay attention at all. If they really show up, they can kill them for extra food.

Of course, that's what I mean, I'm too lazy to eat unless I'm sure I can eat it.

The beautiful natural scenery made Misaka Mikoto feel much better.
