AZI: The History Shattering Burial of a Selfish Lunatic Vol 7 to ???

AZI Volume 7 Chapter 28

Returning to the village—sometime pass the hour of seven, with Tian Cheng and Yao Ying, Long Hua sees someone standing near his tent.

"Oh? Zhou-laoye?"

"..."

Turning to Long Hua, Zhou Chen glances at the sphere of golden radiance that is looming in the air, and asks—

"Didn't you say you had no wishes to be a hero?"

"Is that the way you see all this as?"

"..."

Seeing the snake-like smile on Long Hua's face, Zhou Chen could only heave a sigh.

As Zhou Chen turns to the side and prepares to leave, Long Hua raises an eye, and remarks—

"You should be able to tell that I don't mean this world any good by doing this."

Without facing Long Hua, Zhou Chen replies—

"And what of it? If we wish to survive—for just a while longer, it's not like any of us here have a choice, but to go with your directed flow. This entire situation... It's no different from luring a tiger over to chase out a wolf."

"..."

Maintaining his venomous smile, Long Hua remarks—

"How understanding of you."

"...Prior to getting out of retirement, I've taken my time—to appreciate my collection of paintings, thinking that I won't be able to see them again for a while, if ever."

"Hm?"

"I... Seem to have recalled some memories from...- Perhaps, a previous life? I do not know who I was in those memories, but... I seem to have committed a grave sin towards a great number of people."

Blinking his eyes, Long Hua eventually chuckles with amusement, and replies—

"Should I say—karma is a real bitch, or maybe ask about how the mighty has fallen?"

Chuckling with bitterness, Zhou Chen shakes his head, and leaves.

"..."

Tilting her head, Yao Ying asks—

"He recalled his past life?"

"The sin he committed, it was probably related to all the weapon spirits in this world, and because of that, he has no rights to be asking me to play hero. He'd only sound hypocritical if he did after all. Well... That's not to say that he won't change his mind afterwards."

"Against all the weapon spirits in this world?"

Widening her eyes slightly, Yao Ying asks—

"He...-? Was he the Ling Yuan Ancestor? But then, why is he here as a weapon spirit?"

"Who knows? And who cares? But if he really was the Ling Yuan Ancestor, this must be quite an amusing situation for him to find himself in."

Turning to Yao Ying, Long Hua goes on to ask—

"Little girl, the fact that you're still here—does that mean you plan to baptize yourself with this upcoming battle?"

"..."

Averting her eyes, Yao Ying asks—

"If I pray to you, would-"

Cutting Yao Ying off, Long Hua says—

"Dreams are a beautiful thing, aren't they?"

"..."

"I don't wish to be prayed to by people, and even if I were, I will not lend them an ear—much less an actual hand. Most of those who've had dealings with me—I don't think they'll receive a good ending in life."
