"Zheping!!"

From afar, they saw Zheping leaning against the wall... or rather, an old man who looked like Zheping. He had a head full of white hair, a dark complexion, and a face full of wrinkles. His facial features had also become thin, and he looked extremely old. But Ying and Paimon knew very well that it was Zheping.

"Ah...it's you. You're here?"

Under Paimon's loud voice, Zheping's reaction was unusually slow, just like a real old man: "Wait a minute, I'll stand up first... Strange, I always feel like I have no strength..."

"Zheping...how have you been recently..." Looking at Zheping, whose life light was like a candle in the wind, Ying felt sad and couldn't even bring herself to ask.

"Ok?"

Teppei forced himself to put on a happy expression. He smiled and said, "Oh, I haven't had time to tell you in detail. I have made several achievements recently. I fought against the shogunate army on a ship, repelled the shogunate samurai alone, and rescued my besieged companions. I never dared to dream of it before."

"If only I were stronger. If I were stronger, I could do more things... Strange, where is my "secret weapon"? "

Ying closed her eyes. She knew that what Zheping was talking about was the evil eye of the Fatui. She asked, "That thing... when did you start using it?"

Teppei: "When... Probably not long after you were named the captain of Swordfish Division 2, I met the mysterious person who sponsored you. They gave me this. And told me that as long as I want to become stronger, this secret weapon will respond to me."

"Haha, it's just like the 'Heel of God', right? I've never used the Heel of God, so I don't know what the difference is..."

Teppei smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly, perhaps thinking that this was a good humorous joke.

[Is this the evil eye that overdraws the power of the next life? All these fools deserve to die! ! ! ]

[The Fatui's purpose of giving the evil eye to the rebels is to wait for the rebels to defeat the shogunate but the rebels are in poor health, and then the Fatui can reap the benefits, damn! ]

[Sure enough, free things are often the most expensive]

[There are no shortcuts on any road, and you may end up burying yourself in the abyss]

Ying: "This is... the evil eye."

"Evil...eye? It sounds like a bad thing... Is it different from the Eye of God?"

Ying: "It will overdraw the user's life."

Zheping was silent. Ying told him the reality he had been afraid to face. He lowered his head and murmured, "Is that so... Indeed, it is normal to have risks with things of unknown origin like this. In the past few days, I have been getting more and more tired, and I have a vague feeling that something bad is happening."

"Before, I just felt more tired after fighting, but after I came back today, I suddenly found that I couldn't see clearly. What a pity, I thought I would catch up with you...haha..."

Teppei: "I am not being watched by the gods after all..."

【Cry for me all!!】

【Wuwuwu, Teppei brother!!】

[As expected, I am not being watched by the gods...]

[Ah, what a nice guy]

[Tepei, you idiot! If you want to catch up with me, you must live well first! (crying)

He became the hero he wished for

[Yeah, at least he accomplished something he never dared to think about before]

[I really admire Teppei for this. He was not shocked but accepted it calmly.]

[Perhaps Teppei finally came to his senses at that moment. Did he regret it? Perhaps only Teppei himself knows.]

[Because in fact, Teppei has been mentally prepared for this. He has been feeling unwell since he used the evil eye. Doesn't he know about his own body? ]

[So in fact, Teppei is the same as Orobas, both knew they would die, but still went to die for their dreams]

[It was Zheping's own choice. His dream was to make meritorious deeds. If he didn't have the evil eye, he would have no chance to realize his dream. This is even more cruel. There are always things that are more important than life.]

[His wish is so strong, why can't he get the attention of God?]

"Ying, can I ask you for a favor?"

Zheping seemed to sense something and suddenly said, "When our team uniforms are ready, help me get mine back...we'll change together..."

Teppei seemed to beg Ying to agree, but in fact he wanted Ying to believe that he could still hold on until the uniforms were ready. But how could Ying not see that? She couldn't bear to see Teppei like this anymore, so she turned away expressionlessly, but in fact she was just trying to suppress her sadness.

"What's that expression on your face, man? Don't worry, let me rest for a while... rest for a while... maybe everything will be fine..." Teppei said, closing his eyes.

[Zheping is the epitome of mediocrity among the resistance army. No one pays attention to him and he will eventually be annihilated.]

【Tepei————】

Paimon saw this and called out Zheping's name anxiously, but Ying knew that staying here would be useless. She murmured, "The Fatui..."

Ying suddenly felt that she had to do something. Her eyes became determined and she turned and left without even responding to Paimon's words.

"Hey, Ying, where are you going? Hey--"

[I'm going to beat up the fools! ]

[Zheping, I will avenge you! ! ]

[Eye Hunting Order, activated! ]

[The Eye Hunting Order is okay. Hunting evil eyes is also a kind of Eye Hunting, right?]

After Ying and Paimon left, Manye appeared in front of Teppei and remained silent for a long time.

『Xu Tan』: "What? Can't wait?"

"Yeah... I know when that day will come, but I have to give up something. Prophecy is such a lonely ability."

"'Illusory Talk'."

Man Ye suddenly called out the name of "Xu Tan", but did not give any further information. "Xu Tan", who did not hear Man Ye continue to speak, said "Hmm?" in confusion.

"Has the world in your eyes always been like this?"

“Well—” Xu Tan paused and said, “I am just a knife now.”

"Even with you by my side as an 'accomplice', I felt extremely lonely. You must have been very lonely when you couldn't tell anyone."

『Xu Tan』: "Humph, kid, it's none of your business."

【Xu Tan: Want to be narrow】

[Suddenly I thought of Luo. In those countless reincarnations, Luo also endured it all by herself. Even though Guizhong was by her side, the truth will always be known only to her.]

"Let's go, we still have a lot to do."

On the other side, Ying found Xinhai of the Coral Palace and asked about the location of the Fatui. After Coral Palace speculated, he told Ying that the Evil Eye Factory was most likely on the seaside cliff in the southwest of Bayun Island.

Ying sets out alone to the evil eye production factory just to avenge Zheping.
