Chapter 10 Give Up
..End of the World Summoning Frenzy
The atmosphere became even more depressing, and the warmth between Old Tang and his soul pets disappeared.
After eating the compressed biscuits, the soul pets said hello and flew in different directions, while Tang Haofei, with his arms folded, watched the soul pets leave, and then just lay on the cold stone surface, looking up at the dark starry sky.
"When will this day end..."
At this moment, Old Tang's tone was resentful, as if complaining, but also sighing.
He complained about the roughness of the demon spirit, and complained about the demon spirit that made him unable to return home. The sigh was that he took advantage of this rare quiet time to recall his life and past.
In the end, he didn't come up with anything.
But it's just a place to stay, isn't it? Old Tang also needs to find some entertainment activities...
He thought like this until the next noon...
Then the next one.
The next one...
There is no end, and there is no end in sight...
...
The stone that once lived in has collapsed and shattered, so Tang Haofei had to change another stone.
Then three years later, the stone collapsed again, and Old Tang changed it again.
In this way, Tang Haofei didn't know how many times he moved. He only knew that the debris left after the collapse of the Demon Realm became less and less, until there was no trace of the Demon Realm left in front of him.
A world quietly turned into cosmic dust, and there were very few witnesses.
What's more tragic is that due to the destruction of the Demon Realm, there is a lack of reference objects in the universe, which led to Tang Haofei no longer remembering the location of the Demon Palace. In other words, he could not find the place where Wen Yu disappeared...
With Tang Haofei's power, this is the case, let alone Wen Yu's soul pets...
So, the previous nonsense became a reality, but Tang Haofei didn't feel sad about it - or he might have forgotten how to feel sad.
He just looked into the void,
his eyes showed vicissitudes.
Until it was twelve o'clock in the afternoon again.
In the distance, seven rays of light came from far and near, and fell beside Tang Haofei.
Lunch time, or meeting time, has arrived.
…
“Nothing was found.”
“Me too.”
“Me too.”
“Same here.”
“Gurgle gurgle.”
The conversation that had been repeated countless times was heard again at this moment.
The soul pets spoke calmly, without any fluctuations. Even the one-eyed man who had once vowed to ‘never stop until Wen Yu returns’ had no expression on his face, and was only concerned with dealing with the compressed biscuits in front of him.
Everything was completely superficial.
At this moment, Tang Haofei looked at the soul pets in front of him, and his eyes could not help but show sorrow. He sighed softly and spoke in a hoarse voice.
“How long has it been…”
This sentence successfully attracted the attention of the soul pets.
Facing the gazes of the seven little ones, Tang Haofei repeated it again.
“How long has it been? How long has it been since Wen Yu disappeared?”
After a long silence, Victor still breathed a sigh of relief.
“1158 years, 7 months and 9 days…”
The long number surprised Tang Haofei, and then he was calm.
“It’s been so long.”
He sighed, but got no response.
One person and seven beasts were just silent, as if they had lost all their spirit.
1158 years, 7 months and 9 days...
This is a torture.
Seeing this, Tang Haofei just sighed.
Loyalty is an excellent quality, but it is undeniable that everything should have a limit.
At first, Tang Haofei was envious of the soul pets who were looking for Wen Yu like crazy, but as time went by, this envy gradually turned into shock, and finally turned into complete sadness.
This is a betrayal of loyalty...
It is also a joke of time.
After more than a century of waiting, the result is only the cruelest.
Nothing is sadder than this.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Tang Haofei's voice was hoarse. He uttered these three words calmly, but there was no joy, anger, sorrow or happiness in his tone.
Or, Tang Haofei no longer knew how to express emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow and happiness...
It's not just the seven soul pets who are working hard!
"..."
Still no one responded.
But at this moment, the seven soul pets all looked up and looked at Tang Haofei.
In those eyes, there was a flash of exhaustion and sadness...
They should have given up long ago...but they never did.
At first, it was out of loyalty, in the middle, it was out of faith, but now...they themselves don't understand what they are insisting on.
Every day, flying in the starry sky, looking for any strange spatial fluctuations, day and night, endlessly...
When hard work becomes a habit, a more sad situation appears.
"It's not hard."
The one-eyed man's voice was flat, without any ups and downs, as if he responded mechanically.
The strange voice attracted Tang Haofei's attention. He looked at the one-eyed man, and his eyes flashed with worry, but he only saw the one-eyed man raised his head and suddenly smiled at him.
"I was just kidding..."
Okay, although the meaning of the words was not very optimistic, the one-eyed man was the one-eyed man after all.
He couldn't just watch his brothers fall into deep sorrow and despair, and finally be worn into the same appearance by time - that kind of weird appearance without joy or sorrow, without any emotional fluctuations.
So Tang Haofei breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere gradually became lively - even though this liveliness was largely a performance.
The seven little ones chatted and chatted, although some of the sentences were incoherent and even the words did not express the meaning, but after a long period of loneliness, Tang Haofei could not ask for more...
So the lunch of that day was spent in unprecedented liveliness, until even Luo Luo, who had the smallest appetite, finished his lunch, and the soul pets looked at each other, but did not fly away like before.
Seeing this scene, Tang Haofei raised his eyebrows in confusion.
"No more..."
One-Eye spoke.
"Huh?"
Old Tang did not understand, but Victor added a sentence.
"I said, we will not look for it anymore, we can't find it."
One-Eye and Victor each said a sentence, and told Tang Haofei the decision made by the soul pets.
Looking at the seven calm little ones, Tang Haofei suddenly felt relaxed for some reason, and a smile appeared on his face again, and he asked a serious question.
"Really?"
"Really!"
"I've thought about it, and we've discussed it just now."
One-Eye took two steps forward and spoke.
"If the boss knew what we've been doing these years, I don't think he would want to see us like this. We won't look for him anymore. We can do whatever we want and go wherever we want."
"We can go together. After the level shackles are unlocked, we'll go find Bai, and then we'll go back to Earth together."
"I think when the boss comes back, if he doesn't see us, he should go to Earth to take a look."
One-Eye expressed the thoughts of the soul pets in a flat voice. Hearing this, Tang Haofei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded.
"A wise choice."
