Chapter 32

"Phew..."

Seeing the bountiful harvest, Fang Li's somewhat weary face couldn't help but show a slight smile.

Moreover, the Iron Fortress had already started smoothly, and the people of Shikisugawa Ayame and Kankin Station were all here. As long as they continued along the railway and passed through the escape gate, they could escape from Kankin Station.

At that time, Fang Li's main mission would be completed, and this trip to the副本 world would come to a perfect end.

To be honest, this was already much better than what Fang Li had initially imagined.

Immersed in his joy, Fang Li didn't notice.

On the opposite side, Seiko leaned against the wall, looking at Fang Li, who was quietly by the side of the sleeping Nameless. After a few changes in her expression, she suddenly said, "Aren't you afraid?"

The sudden question made Fang Li react a bit slowly.

When he finally reacted, Fang Li turned his gaze to Seiko and asked, "Do I have to be afraid?"

"…Shouldn't most people be afraid?" Seiko met Fang Li's gaze, her eyes unusually serious. "After all, everyone here, except you, is not human."

Kabaneri.

Seiko hadn't fully trusted this existence, let alone the others.

This young man, who was determined to defeat the Kabaneri, understood best how much fear his kind would cause in humans.

"Not to mention ordinary people, even samurai would fear us and wouldn't allow us to travel with them," Seiko said softly. "What about you? Aren't you at all afraid?"

Fang Li was silent.

After a while, he sighed and said, "I thought you were going to say something else."

Seiko couldn't help but be taken aback by Fang Li's words.

"Well, I can understand what you're trying to say," Fang Li shrugged, with a smile that was hard to tell if it was sarcastic or calm. "Unfortunately, no matter what you are, if you can only bring me death, then, sorry, I really can't be afraid."

"Can't be afraid?" Seiko was somewhat surprised and puzzled. "What do you mean by that?"

"Just take it at face value, don't think too much about it," Fang Li shook his head and changed the subject. "By the way, I haven't thanked you for saving me yet."

"…There's nothing to thank me for," Seiko lowered her head and said, "Saving people is just the right thing to do. Our common enemy is the Kabaneri, not humans themselves."

Hearing this, Fang Li didn't say anything on the surface, but he felt a bit moved inside.

Clearly, only Seiko thought this way.

This guy is really a good person.

"Regardless, I still have to thank you," Fang Li looked directly at Seiko, his expression becoming serious. "Thank you for saving me."

Although Fang Li had no feelings about death and wasn't afraid of his own death, since he was saved, he still had to express his gratitude.

Because if something wasn't important to him, and someone saved him, he had no reason not to thank them. Fang Li didn't have such arrogant thoughts.

Of course, Fang Li didn't know how rare such thoughts were in this era of self-preservation.

Seiko couldn't help but smile and said, "You really are a strange person."

"Is that so?" Fang Li laughed bitterly and said to Seiko, "I don't want to be called that by you."

"You're right," Seiko touched her glowing heart, her tone becoming more complex. "Compared to you, I'm the stranger."

After saying that, the carriage fell silent again.

Seeing Seiko's complex expression, Fang Li hesitated for a moment and then said, "Do you want to become human again?"

"What?" Seiko was taken aback again.

"I said, do you want to become human again?" Fang Li said seriously. "If you do, maybe I can…"

Before he could finish his sentence, both Fang Li and Seiko's ears perked up.

Because a very chaotic sound of footsteps reached their ears.

"This is…" Seiko's expression became somewhat surprised.

"Are they here?" Fang Li looked as if he knew this would happen, his gaze directly turning to the door leading to the front carriage.

The footsteps grew louder and soon reached the door.

"Bang———!"

With a loud noise, the door to the front carriage was violently opened.

Immediately, a group of samurai armed with steam guns rushed into the carriage. With a series of "clicks," they raised their guns and aimed at Fang Li and his group.

Among these samurai were Kuchiki Rakuzi and Arakawa Kibito.

"You…?!" Seiko stood up abruptly.

Fang Li also slowly stood up, raising his eyes to look at the samurai in front of him.

In the eyes of these samurai, Fang Li could clearly sense obvious hostility.

However, mixed in with this hostility was a trace of fear that was hard for others to detect.

Only Kuchiki Rakuzi and Arakawa Kibito's eyes were different from the others.

Arakawa Kibito's eyes showed some hesitation.

Kuchiki Rakuzi's eyes were filled with coldness.

After glancing at the sleeping Nameless and the serious Seiko, Kuchiki Rakuzi finally turned her gaze to Fang Li.

Then, Kuchiki Rakuzi asked, "Are you with them?"

The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became extremely tense.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Fang Li.

Including Seiko.

In this situation, Fang Li didn't answer but smiled and asked in return, "Are you afraid?"

Kuchiki Rakuzi's eyes turned dark.

As for the other samurai, they seemed to have been hit where it hurt, one after another, they became angry.

"Just a wanderer, do you really think you're some kind of savior?"

"Rakuzi, don't bother with him, just shoot him!"

"Right!"

"Anyone willing to stay with those two monsters definitely isn't human!"

"Exactly!"

As the samurai shouted, the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

Fang Li ignored them and just looked at Kuchiki Rakuzi.

Under Fang Li's gaze, Kuchiki Rakuzi closed her eyes. When she opened them again, her eyes had regained their clarity.

Then, Kuchiki Rakuzi drew her katana from her waist.
