Chapter 188

["You..."]

[Seeing that Su Bai didn't make any move.]

[Ganyu asked curiously: "This is the burial place of your Big Brother; if you feel it's inconvenient, Seeing Shenhe and I will avoid it for a while."]

["You can say whatever you want to Junior Brother in private."]

["No, I still think that a person like Big Brother shouldn't have died so easily." Su Bai denied Ganyu's idea.]

[Slowly speaking: "After all, I was born from Big Brother's body as a divine weapon, and I have accompanied him for fifteen hundred years; based on my understanding of him."]

["He should have discovered the source of this curse's invasion, and then faked his death to let you bury him, only to crawl out of the grave later to do what he needs to do."]

["What!" Seeing Shenhe and Ganyu were stunned upon hearing this.]

[Based on their understanding of Su Bai, and the entire Liyue's faith in the Stable True Monarch.]

[Indeed, no one believed that Liyue's Stable True Monarch had really just died like this.]

[They had also fantasized that Su Bai must have investigated something and faked his death to leave, but this idea was ultimately denied.]

["Hmph, stop talking nonsense."]

["Senior Brother, he..."]

["There has been no news for three years; with his ability, how could there be no news for three years."]

[Seeing Shenhe's emotions were slightly agitated.]

[From her tone, Su Bai even heard a trace of remorse.]

[But without much thought, Su Bai understood the source of Seeing Shenhe's remorse.]

[It must be that she believed her own solitary fate had brought bad luck to Su Bai, ultimately causing Su Bai to die miserably in this catastrophe.]

[Alas...]

[Su Bai sighed in his heart.]

[At this time, the most important thing was to give his Senior Sister and Junior Sister a reassurance.]

[By the way, resolve the conjectures in his own heart.]

["Big Brother Su Bai cannot have died so easily."]

["After all, I came here from Khaenri'ah and didn't feel any discomfort."]

["If Big Brother had really died because of the so-called curse, it would be impossible for me not to detect a trace of the aura of the curse that could cause his death."]

["I suspect that Big Brother faked his death, and the coffin under this tombstone should be empty."]

Hu Tao: "As expected of Boss Su, is this going to dig up a grave?"

Cloud Retainer: "Uh, and digging up his own grave at that."

Tianquan Ningguang: "Sure enough, even in the desperate apocalypse, Su Bai's behavior is still jaw-dropping."

Ganyu: "Then what if there really is a corpse in the grave?"

Consultant Zhongli: "If there really is a corpse, it's easier to talk about; once Su Bai's guess that the coffin is empty is proven right, that's when things get big."

Azhdaha: "Morax, why do you say that?"

Neuvillette: "If the coffin is empty, it proves that the future Su Bai did not die because of the curse; then where would he go? What would he do? Why would the Time Archon take the past Su Bai to the future?"

Nahida: "....."

Alice: "Oh wise Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, did you guess something?"

Nahida: "I did not."

Lumine: "Don't worry, Su Bai won't mind what you say; you're people who have slept together, you should know his magnanimity."

Nahida: "Lumine, there's no need to emphasize the latter part."

Nahida: "Alas, when Su Bai first arrived in the future, he jokingly said that the only person who could kill him was himself; combined with the initial summary, the World-Destroying Great Demon King True Monarch refers to the future Su Bai, so the people of Celestia had no choice but to take the past Su Bai to the future to kill Su Bai."

Ganyu: "What!"

Seeing Shenhe: "This..."

Hu Tao: "Ah! But the curse has been happening for six years, and Su Bai was buried for three years; the timing doesn't match up."

Baizhu: "The most likely thing is that Su Bai himself is the source of the curse; he discovered this and chose to commit suicide, but the dead Su Bai underwent a corpse transformation, leading to a larger-scale spread of the curse."

Alice: "Ah? The future Su Bai turned into a Corpse King?"

Barbara: "Miss Alice, what is a Corpse King?"

Alice: "That is... uh, I don't know how to explain it to you either; I also saw it in books from other worlds, but specifically, it's just as Baizhu said, the source of the curse."

[Digging up a grave?]

[Ganyu and Seeing Shenhe were both stunned.]

[Seeing Shenhe protested even more intensely: "What kind of nonsense are you talking about."]

["Don't you understand the principle of letting the dead rest in peace."]

["Senior Brother, he... he..."]

["Hey! Little girl." Su Bai gave a clear shout to interrupt Seeing Shenhe's speech.]

["I know you respect Big Brother very much."]

["But precisely because of that, we must do more things that can get us closer to the truth."]

["If you really think he died so easily, then why would he be Liyue's Stable True Monarch."]

["Moreover, I think the reason I woke up is also for this matter."]

[This...]

[Su Bai's words immediately left Ganyu and Seeing Shenhe feeling speechless.]

[At first glance, it seemed to make a lot of sense.]

[But if you think about it repeatedly, this guy is simply acting recklessly.]

[However, regardless, Su Bai's last sentence left Ganyu and Seeing Shenhe with absolutely no reason to refuse.]

[The awakening of the divine sword's spirit might really not be as simple as just looking for someone.]

[Even all of this might be something Su Bai arranged before his death.]

["Fine, I won't stop you this time."]

["But if you do such an excessive thing and the final result cannot be explained, don't blame me."]

["Although I am not as powerful as the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, I will choose to fight you to the death."]

[Seeing Shenhe said indifferently.]

[Immediately pushing Su Bai aside.]

["Leave this kind of thing to me."]

["You look clumsy; if you break something, you won't be able to take responsibility."]

["Fine." Su Bai spread his hands.]

[As time passed minute by minute, Su Bai and Ganyu looked at each other, watching the motionless Seeing Shenhe before them.]

["Seeing Shenhe?" Ganyu asked softly.]

[Seeing Shenhe immediately turned back to her side, her lowered eyes not daring to lift: "I can't do it."]

["Let me do it." Su Bai stepped forward: "After all, I was born from Big Brother's body; no matter what, Big Brother won't blame me."]

[Seeing Shenhe kept her head down, not daring to look.]

[Su Bai, on the other hand, appeared at ease; he blasted open the soil and soon lifted a coffin out.]

[Immediately after, under Ganyu's nervous expression, Su Bai casually flipped open his own coffin lid.]

[Taking a closer look.]

[Su Bai's eyes widened.]

[What the hell, there really is a skeleton in here?]

[Ganyu's breathing stalled.]

[Fortunately, Seeing Shenhe had not yet looked up.]

[Ganyu looked at Su Bai with an embarrassed face.]

[But she found that the other party had a solemn expression, furrowing his brows as he picked up a leg bone from the coffin.]

[He said indifferently: "Big Brother's body is quite special; this skeleton is clearly the skeleton of an ordinary person."]

["I don't know what happened to him, but at least the person buried in here is not Liyue's Stable True Monarch."]

Enjou: "Ah?"

Dvalin: "Something's wrong, Su-ye wouldn't have really undergone a corpse transformation, would he?"

Hu Tao: "Help, Liyue's Stable True Monarch has turned into the World-Destroying Great Demon King True Monarch."
