—Extremely painful.
Hearing the girl's comforting words, Li Xiang finally felt better.
"Yes, I won't cry anymore."
Li Xiang released the little girl and then wiped away her tears.
"I have a lot of things to do, I can't just stand here crying."
"Thank you for comforting me, I'm much better now."
The little girl knew that Li Xiang had cheered up, and a smile appeared on her face.
A smile that warms the heart, a child's smile.
That's just how kids are!
They are pure, innocent, and considerate of others.
What a lovely child!
But the white-haired girl felt the cold, lifeless white bird's corpse in her arms again.
Sadness returned to his face.
"This is……"
Two large men gathered around, looking at the white bird whose wings were stained red with blood.
Rentaro watched Shiratori die, recalling the past... He had personally killed his irreplaceable friend.
That child's name was Xia Shi, and he was a very gentle and lovely child.
However, Xia Shi is about to undergo Gastrea transformation and become a monster.
—So Rentaro had no choice but to kill her.
This time, watching the white bird die, he felt that overwhelming sense of despair and helplessness.
This world is always like this: people love each other, yet are forced to separate.
—This utterly hopeless world.
Li Xiang looked at the girl; she must really like this white bird!
Her parents disliked her and abandoned her.
So she ruined her own eyes for it!
And now, her friend, this white bird, has died in her arms. She must be very sad and heartbroken.
Li Xiang had personally experienced this kind of pain of loss. His parents sacrificed themselves to protect the Earth when he was still a child—so Li Xiang knew that she must be in pain and grief!
Therefore, Li Xiang wanted to help this child.
Li Xiang took out a ray of light from his pocket.
This is the light of Sila and Mami, the gift that Sila and Mami gave to themselves, belonging to their hearts.
"Sila, Mami...please, help me." Li Xiang murmured to the light in his palm.
Immediately, the golden light in Li Xiang's hand began to flicker.
Similarly, Rentaro and Enju also noticed the light in Li Xiang's hand.
The two immediately became alert.
Because Gastrea exist in this world, and their job is to deal with Gastrea, they subconsciously viewed the light in Li Xiang's hand as a potential danger.
After all, if they hadn't been vigilant, they would have been dead long ago.
However, both of them remained on guard and did not immediately launch an attack or take any other action.
He just watched cautiously—watching the light in Li Xiang's hand.
The light responded to Li Xiang's request and then flew towards the white bird in the white-haired girl's arms.
The light fell on the white bird and then merged into its body.
Rentaro and Enju watched curiously, wondering what would happen next.
Then, the white bird moved!
The little girl felt the cold object in her arms, which suddenly became warm again.
She carefully held the white bird in her palm.
She could feel the white bird's heart begin to beat!
The white bird's corpse begins to come back to life!
The white bird struggled to its feet, then stood in the girl's hand, shook its head, and looked around.
It didn't understand what was happening.
"...Little bird, is that you?"
The girl asked the question.
The little bird heard the girl calling it and fluttered in her hand, as if to prove to her that it was alright.
"……Great."
"Great!"
"Little bird, I'm so glad you're alright!"
The girl happily hugged the white bird and rubbed her face against it.
"Chirp—!"
The white bird responded happily to the girl.
Rentaro and Enju were both utterly shocked by what they saw.
Even though it was just a little bird, it was a miraculous comeback!
Rentaro stared intently at the man in front of him.
This guy has the power to bring the dead back to life?
Is he human or a Gastrea?
Or perhaps, it's some other unknown entity?
It's no wonder Rentaro had such thoughts, because the power to bring the dead back to life was simply too awe-inspiring for him!
If... if I possessed this power, would Xia Shi... have been spared from dying back then?
Holding the resurrected white bird in her arms, the little girl wept with joy... However, because her eyes were filled with lead, she could not cry, so she could only smile from the bottom of her heart.
Li Xiang could only manage a bitter smile.
It was at this moment that Rentaro spoke.
"Sir, could you please talk to me? I also have many questions."
Li Xiang stood up and turned around: "Of course, I also need to learn about this world."
"Huh? Understand this world?" Rentaro didn't understand what he meant by "get to know this world properly."
However, he did not immediately begin asking questions, but instead looked at his partner Yeonju beside him.
"Yeonju, could you please look after this child for a moment? I'll go talk to this gentleman and be right back."
"Okay, no problem, Rentaro, you go ahead, I'll take care of things here!"
Yeonju patted her chest, indicating that she could leave this to her.
Then, the two found a quiet, secluded corner and began to talk to each other.
"Um... my first question is, what do you mean by 'you need to understand this world better'?"
"Ah, that's simple, because—I'm not from this world!"
(We sincerely apologize for the serious problem with the ending of Chapter 5 regarding Sphia's journey to other worlds! It has now been corrected, and everyone can reread the ending of Chapter 5.)
Chapter 53 What Prevented Her from Crying—Lead
"Let me formally introduce myself to you."
"My name is Li Xiang. I come from another world's Earth. I am a member of the Global Unrestricted Mission Team (GUTS) of the Earth Peace Alliance (TPC), also known as the Victory Team."
Rentaro didn't understand the long self-introduction.
"Another world? The Earth Peace Alliance? The Victory Team?"
"Are you speaking human language? I can't understand a single word. Is this some kind of Earth language?"
Based on these strange words, Rentaro had begun to suspect that the person in front of him was a lunatic, or perhaps a delusional patient.
It's quite pitiful... considering that even though she's sick, she was just helping others...
He really did bring a bird back to life!
Does the ability to bring the dead back to life really exist in this world?
Can Gastrulos do that?
No, could he really be from another world?
—Rentaro stirred up a mental storm.
"Are you OK?"
Seeing that Rentaro was in a daze, Li Xiang tried to wake him up.
"Sorry I spaced out, I'm fine!"
Rentaro shook his head, trying to clear his mind of these random thoughts.
"Hello, I am Rentaro Satomi. I am an employee of a private security company that specializes in handling Gastrea. I belong to the Tendo Private Security Company!"
"Hello, Mr. Li Xiang!"
Rentaro reached out his hand, and Li Xiang took it in return.
