I'll retire when I'm done

Life on Everdark Island has not changed with the departure of some people and the arrival of some people. The war is over, but the crusade against the abyss has just begun——

The various countries hold the mentality of the current Ever Darkness Island with a tasteless mentality. It is a pity to eat it without taste and discard it. Even if there is no abyss, just a Baihong is enough to give them a headache. Most of the "alliances" hold a negative attitude that is only perfunctory, and the ones sent to Everdark Island are not elite troops. They are either defeated soldiers whose morale is weak and have been beaten to a mental breakdown, or they are simply sent to death due to unknown circumstances. Filling cannon fodder.

The most anticipated major general is naturally the well-deserved commander in chief of this so-called "battle", but Bai Hong's reaction is calmer than anyone else's when faced with such a group of trash who can't even understand normal communication.

She didn't use these people.

Just as she replaced Mori Ogai's undead army with one person at that time, she also did not let these people go to the abyss.

That's my job.

She explained it this way.

No one knows what she did, and no one knows what price she paid. No one would question the goddess of victory's preference for her, and it will only bring about the final result.

——It took Bai Hong three years to restrain the spread of the abyss.

The most obvious change is that the scope of the base is spreading to the inside, the originally empty wilderness is branded with traces of human beings, and the soldiers' fear of the abyss is gradually fading with the brighter moonlight. Threat of war and fear of death, these people began to rekindle their desire for life.

——Their major general established a steel empire stationed on the side of the abyss here.

What are we going to do?

It's not that there are helpless and dazed people who ask her about her next plan. They live here tremblingly, from being afraid of becoming abandoned pawns to being idle every day, but they have never received an order belonging to Bai Hong.

What do you need us for?

— to live and go home with the others.

Bai Hong replied like this.

People stop and go, some choose to go home, some choose to stay.

Fuheshier is always the one left behind.

He couldn't keep an eye on Bai Hong, but luckily he could watch for her to make sure there was no trouble. As her status became more stable, more people wanted to kill her.

"You're really going to make trouble for me."

Fu Heisher stared at the prey lying under his feet and took out the bird, casually wiped the blood splashed on his face, then raised his head and complained to Bai Hong beside him: "Take the most dangerous person to be an adjutant by your side, Is there something wrong with the way you think about things?"

"The team on Chang'an Island is still in its infancy, Shier," Bai Hong smiled lightly, "I don't want to cause problems in this team because of a few words from a few people at this time."

She does not allow voices other than her own to exist under her rule, and neither does the enemy's.

"Speaking of... even." Bai Hong suddenly said, and asked casually, "Is there anything you are hiding from me?"

Fuheshier replied without blinking: "I have something to hide from you."

"Yes." Bai Hong said with a smile, "For example, what did Lin Taro tell you before he left three years ago?"

Fu Heisher frowned: "...you really hold a grudge."

"So, no?"

"No."

Her brother replied without hesitation.

Bai Hong just stared at him meaningfully, and didn't continue to ask.

During that time, she slightly increased the number of times she went out. Fuheshier couldn't stop her from learning to accept her fate early, but she never acted like a good brother who didn't worry about eating and drinking, and her daily life was not affected in any way.

And at a certain time pointing to two o'clock in the morning, Fu Heisher, who was soundly asleep, was awakened by a light poke with a finger.

The breath was familiar, it belonged to Bai Hong, the man didn't have the slightest sense of defense, he turned his head in a daze, and unexpectedly met a pair of jewel-like clear blue eyes, those eyes were radiant against the moonlight, kind of The strange and evil beauty that does not belong to the mortal world.

…Looking at these eyes at night, even Fu Heisher broke out in a cold sweat reflexively, and it took him a while to realize who was the person staring at him with his hands on his chin: "...Hong?"

"Good evening, Shir."

Bai Hong rested his chin on both hands, blinking those enchanting eyes.

"I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear?"

Fu Heisher yawned and got up from the bed resignedly.

This kind of collapse and helplessness of being woken up by a house cat at night, not to mention looking back at a pair of cat eyes, probably no one can understand the place where only fanatics who blindly worship the major general can be found here.

The man covered his face and muttered, "...Okay."

"The good news is that the abyss is completely under control—"

"Oh, congratulations."

Fuheshier yawned uncontrollably. "The bad ones."

Bai Hong: "Oh, I can't see with my eyes."

Fu Heisher's yawn suddenly stopped, and immediately turned into an earth-shattering cough.

"...What did you say?"

For three years hunting the living corpses of the abyss and preventing the abyss from spreading, Baihong still paid a little price.

Even with Gwendolin's dark moon guardianship, the abyss is a living hell that devours humanity and reason. For it, the soul with Chuhuo is both a natural enemy it fears and an unstoppable desire. Since Bai Hong is willing to spend a lot of time in In the abyss, the soul and body must always be burned repeatedly with the first fire to avoid being assimilated by the abyss.

If you burn too many times, there will naturally be some sequelae.

Bai Hong pointed to his own sequelae—the eyes, and repeated with a calmness that Fu Heisher couldn't understand at all: "Simply speaking, I'm blind."

Fuhesher: "..."

The news came so suddenly that there was no time to react.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, propped his hands on his knees and slowly took deep breaths, and it took him a while to regain his calm voice.

"……What do you mean?"

Bai Hong tilted his head.

"She likes me, doesn't she?"

she says.

"I've known you for so long, and I'm still very confident in judging your relationship. You don't value yourself, but you value me...Because of some setbacks in other places, it's probably due to the double commitment. Put your mind on me, if something goes wrong with me, you will be very anxious... Even if you don't want to admit it, you will indeed have some mood swings when something happens to me."

Bai Hong smiled lightly, the curve of the corner of his mouth could even be called pleasant.

"I also like Shir's... For me, only 'family' is different, only you are my only 'family' in this world, so you are different."

In this world, no one knows what she lost.

Not only her hometown, she also lost her original harbor and family.

No matter how beautiful the moonlight on Everdark Isle was, it couldn't compare to the lively night on the deck of the Mordybuque for her.

She likes the sea.

That is the home of the birds, and it is the sky that reflects the world.

...but now, only the dark abyss keeps her company.

"...Even if it's you, I don't want you to lie to me—but I probably have only myself in my hands to threaten you, so these eyes, firstly, I need their power, and secondly, they are also for you punish."

Bai Hong pointed to his eyes and smiled brilliantly.

"Your breath has changed... oh, are you scared, Shir?"

"Ask you again, what did you hide from me?"

Fu Heisher's eyes widened: "Just for this kind of problem, you gave your eyes to...!?"

"Look clearly, Shier... your sister is a monster who only cares about the result, and she can bear any price in the process, whether it's the eyes, the body, or any other parts, I don't mind if I can make you obedient Pay the bill a little in advance." Bai Hong replied with a smile, "So, yes - I can choose to give up my eyes because you disobeyed me, so brother, why don't you answer now?"

"..."

Fu Heisher was silent for a long time before answering in a hoarse voice: "It just suddenly occurred to me that I sold my son to the Zenyuan family before, and he should be three years old this year."

"..."

"You sold your son...my nephew."

Bai Hong's tone was subtle.

"Yeah." Fu Heisher twitched the corner of his mouth stiffly, "I can't even support you, so do I still need to support that kid?"

Bai Hong was silent for a long time, seeming to accept the answer.

"...Only this time, don't take this as an example, my lord brother."

She got up slowly, looked down at Fu Heisher condescendingly, and answered with a smile.

"—If there is one more time, let's see if your will collapses first, or my body is destroyed first."

"Ah, but I think it's the former, what do you think?"

After Baihong finished speaking, he left the room, leaving Fu Heisher in the room to calm his tense nerves. Before he knew it, his back was already wet with sweat, and his hands and feet were cold.

Fuheshier finally understood how frightening the madness of this tyrant whose reason was always above sensibility was.

...can't let her know about that.

Let alone Gojo Satoru know that she is still alive.

...If even a guy like herself can be considered a family member by her, then the Six Eyes of the Gojo family who grew up with her can also be included in this category as long as she puts a little effort into it...

something will happen.

will die.

Hong, who doesn't care about herself at all, has a completely abnormal bottom line and a sense of morality... If she is in the company of those lunatic magicians again in the future...

If we go back to that kind of place——

"..."

Fuhesher's pupils narrowed slightly.

……it does not matter.

It can be handled well.

...As long as you limit the concept of the child's "family" to yourself, you will be fine, right?

***

After that night, there seemed to be no change in Everdark Island's daily life, but after the abyss was controlled, Baihong's time was obviously much freer.

When the new adjutant came to report, the major general was still on the phone in the house.

"—That's why I said that increasing the chips is necessary, but don't worry too much, I still have enough cards here, and there won't be any big troubles."

Sitting in the office, the young major general explained to Tan Tianshantohuo, who was on the other side of the phone, who was troubled by various things and asked for help remotely: "It is impossible for the higher authorities to consider evacuation. It took me three years to control the abyss. Since the last threat has been lost, Ever Darkness Island is a dead chess piece that can be ignored, as long as it does not affect the overall situation, then it can naturally be regarded as non-existent.”

"But I can't understand why it's you?"

"If Ever Dark Island loses its due value, then my position must be adjusted."

Bai Hong replied slowly: "From the perspective of the above, it is actually a good thing to withdraw me from this place. You don't need to worry too much about farming. It's just such a hasty action. The next step is probably to try to take me out of the way." .”

Anyway, the real power faction who has just turned 20 years old is too scary-and it is the deadliest military power.

The younger and stronger she is, the easier it is to be awed and feared.

It's not that Bai Hong can't understand the worries of the group of people above, but it doesn't mean that she is willing to hand over the country she has conquered, and it's hard to train a group of stray dogs into ferocious wolves that can be delivered to the rear. Give away your heart and blood so casually.

Her value will not be limited to Everdark Isle, nor will her ambition simply stop there.

The young major general crossed his fingers and smiled casually.

The long period of peace and stability made the people above relax their vigilance and caution towards her.

In the future, everyone should still work together as colleagues, and we can't just tear our faces apart like this——

It's time to start preparing for the next step, right?

Tan Tian Shantouhuo sighed on the other side of the phone: "I just didn't expect their speed to be so fast... and not only Changan Island, but also many places have become chaotic recently... Although as you said, after the war, there will inevitably There will be a buffer period of chaos, and trouble is inevitable, but the chaos in Yokohama is far beyond my imagination..."

"It doesn't matter what you say about Yokohama."

Bai Hong turned around on the chair, and replied in a calm tone: "Mr. Natsume talked with me about Yokohama for a while. Although it is not the best solution in my mind, it is a good solution for the other side. Choose, you can don’t pay too much attention to farming for the time being; instead of a group of mad dogs who have lost their restraint, you might as well try to pay attention to who is the leader who can control the group of mad dogs.”

"Understood." A respectful reply came from the other side of the phone, "Major General, what are you going to do next? If you have lost interest in Chang'an Island and want to withdraw, the Ability Secret Service Division can immediately arrange——"

"Ah, it's okay, I can still play here for a while..."

Bai Hong replied with a smile.

"It's another thing I said before, how are you doing in farming?"

The voice on the other side of the phone answered without hesitation: "The investigation of the magician has made progress, but let me ask one more question. It is a long-standing default rule that the magician does not interfere with us. You Why break it now?"

"Well..." Bai Hong smiled, "Then let me ask you, it's not that Yokohama doesn't have a tacit authority, and there hasn't been any chaos in so many years. Yokohama has its own rules, and it seems that it's okay if we don't intervene. The question is, but will you ignore farming because of this?”

This time, Zhongtian Shantouhuo pondered for a long time, and his tone became much more serious.

"The subordinates understand, so let's do it."

——How can you allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the couch.

The young tyrant on the other end of the phone needed only one reason.

"Thank you for your hard work, farming."

"You're welcome," Zhong Tian paused, and said in a low voice, "Although you may feel that I am a little busy, I would like to remind you that your current physical condition does not allow you to act as you did in the past... According to my knowledge You know, that elder brother of yours is not someone who can be trusted, I hope you will be careful."

"Shir? I know."

After a short chat with the worried subordinates, Bai Hong hung up the phone, and only then did the recruits who had been waiting at the door come in.

"Report."

The tall soldier stood still in place, and after a quick military salute, he stood still in a dignified manner.

"Good afternoon, my new adjutant."

Bai Hong raised his head and showed a slightly alienated smile: "You should know the rules here. All traces of your past will disappear here. Except for me, the only major general, you are all ordinary soldiers."

The other party was silent for a moment, and his tone became a little stiff.

"Yes, sir. . . . André Gide, reporting to you."

——André Gide, from the elite troops sent by the "Allied Army", has made a lot of military exploits in his own country. I can't be sure, but this person's tone is low, and he really doesn't have the slightest spirited and unrestrained style.

Compared with the so-called heroes, he is more like a poor homeless stray dog.

"It's called Andre..." Bai Hong clicked his tongue, and his tone was a little helpless: "Let's not talk about anything else... Do you think that the battle here is almost over and there is no need to bother, so what cats and dogs Can you squeeze it in for me?"

Andre Gide, who is called a cat, cat and dog, did not change his eyes at all, and answered his new chief's question in a calm tone: "Reporting sir, the subordinates don't know the reason, but they just obeyed the order of the transfer and took over the chief's job." Adjutant post."

Bai Hong raised his eyebrows, and asked without politeness.

"Not everyone can be my adjutant... What, are you being targeted by someone and sending you to seek death?"

Because of Bai Hong's previous deliberate operation, the only place on the island with the highest death rate was not the frontline soldiers, the rear troops, or the cannon fodder corps specially used to send them to death, but the major general's adjutant.

...Put him in this position, as if he was clearly waiting for him to die.

Andre replied in a flat tone: "The subordinates don't know."

Bai Hong chuckled lightly, and did not continue this topic.

"Your seniors who achieved this position were either transferred or died in battle, so you can only rely on yourself to figure out what to do, but generally speaking, you only need to do two things, the first thing is to rely on yourself Use your eyes to distinguish these documents on my desk, and see which ones need my review and which ones are nonsense."

Bai Hong spread his hands and said with a smile, "Let's start now."

"I have a question, sir."

Andre didn't move, he just stood there and asked.

"speak."

"Yes," the man stood up straight, and asked calmly, "The subordinates feel that this should not belong to the adjutant's job scope."

"Well, generally speaking, it really doesn't count." Bai Hong replied with a smile: "But unfortunately, your chief's eyes are not very good, so you can only rely on the adjutant to identify and read to her after selection. It's as simple as that."

"..."

Andre Gide's expression finally changed.

"... your eyes?"

The first time I entered the room, I couldn't take my attention away. I was subconsciously attracted by the pair of blue gem-like eyes. Those eyes were so beautiful that people couldn't feel that they were a pair of eyes. blind.

"Going blind."

Bai Hong answered very frankly, she nodded her eyes, and replied generously: "I can only see your general outline now, so although I can do most things in daily life, but reading and so on things are already gone.”

He looked at the young officer in front of him, his eyes became a little subtle.

Before they met, Andre Gide had a strong hostility towards Bai Hong... and a subtle expectation that even he himself could not explain clearly.

When the two sides were still hostile, he had heard the rumors of the war ghost; but the opponent's subordinates never left anyone alive, and the high-level officials of the country kept her protection tight, so it was difficult to get information about the war ghost. It is even more difficult.

There is no soldier who does not desire such a victory, no man who would ignore such a hero.

It has to be said that he was quite surprised by the result after the meeting.

——The legendary war ghost, the devil-like legendary figure who once made his chief shudder just by hearing his name, turned out to be a slender, beautiful and inhuman young woman...

"I advise you not to think about boring things."

The moment the voice sounded from behind, Andre Gide was startled suddenly, and reflexively put his hand on the gun on his waist. The future of living——

Andre subconsciously wanted to change his movements and struggled out, but the opponent immediately doubled his speed after a hush, pinched his wrist with his backhand, and pressed the back of the man's neck with the other hand, directly throwing him to the ground with terrifying force If it wasn't for Bai Hong who was sitting behind the table to call out stop with precise timing, Andre would have no doubt that his throat would be directly crushed by the opponent's iron-like fingers!

...and he didn't even see the other person's face clearly!

— very strong.

I don't know if it is stronger than War Ghost, but it is definitely stronger than all the enemies I have encountered.

"Let go of my lieutenant, Shir."

Bai Hong said calmly, "If you shake his neck and crush his neck, it will be bad. I won't be able to replace it in a short time."

"What's the matter~" Fuheshier, who grabbed Andre Gide's hands with one hand, had no intention of letting go. He looked down at the upright foreigner who was so angry that his face was ashen, with a slightly disgusted expression on his face : "Anyway, I think it's easy to be your adjutant, so just let me come."

He muttered in dissatisfaction, but obediently let go of his hand as he said.

Bai Hong was expressionless: "Let me introduce to you, this Mr. Fuheshier is the biggest and only relative here, and also my brother who is worthless, so there is no need to respect him, just treat him as if he does not exist on weekdays." .”

...The brother of the war ghost?

This is unexpected information.

Andre Gide stood up from the ground enduring the painful pinching of his bones, and Fuheshier had already lifted his feet and sat on Baihong's large and heavy solid wood desk, bowing his body and staring at him with a smile on his face Own.

It's just that the black-haired man's smile was gloomy and cold, and his eyes were cold. It was more like a ferocious beast watching and sizing up its prey with ease before hunting. Under the thin clothes, the muscular outline of his body protruded enviably full lines. His position just blocked the major general's slender figure, not even a slight edge was exposed.

"……What are you looking at?"

he asks.

"Excuse me..." Andre coughed a few times, finally recovering from the dull pain in his lung cavity from being hit hard, "It's just a little unexpected——"

"I didn't expect Zhan Gui to have a problem with his eyes or something?"

Fu Hesher asked back.

"And don't always stare at other people's sisters, how rude."

The elder brother's tone was impatient, as if he was genuinely troubled by this.

"Shir, don't sit at my table, get down."

"Yes~Yes~"

Fu Heisher jumped off the table with his hands raised, and suddenly glanced sideways at Bai Hong: "Can I have a chat with your adjutant?"

"...Restraint, don't let me get away with this one."

"how come--"

Fu Heisher responded lazily with a long-tailed voice, hooked Andre's neck with his backhand, and carried him out of the office with a strong hand. After closing the door, the first sentence with a smile was: "Are her eyes very beautiful?" nice?"

"..."

The new adjutant replied with an awkward silence, Fu Heisher didn't care, and continued with a smile: "I know, I know, my little blind man's eyes are amazing, and more than one is interested in her eyes and himself, Oh, my sister looks so troublesome. Being a brother is somewhat troublesome, for example, the last one is short-sighted..."

Fu Heisher paused for a moment, and then said meaningfully:

"...Because the child doesn't like the smell of blood, it took me a lot of effort just to wipe the blood."

……murderous look.

……fear.

The coldness that drenched all limbs and bones at this moment was a fear that was no stranger to André Gide as a soldier.

——It was a sense of oppression, as if being stared at the back of the neck by a fierce beast, and could be directly torn apart anytime and anywhere.

When Andre returned to the chief's office covered in dry cold sweat, the young major general just explained to him in a slightly guilty tone:

"I'm sorry, because I died before... Uh, there were a lot of problems... My brother—" Bai Hongting spoke calmly, as if he didn't notice the problem at all: "I'm a little too protective of me."

...you said it was really easy.

Andre thought with a cold face.

So where is the desire to protect too much.

——Clearly, he is a lunatic who has almost lost his reason.
