I clicked "yes" but was denied entry to Infinite.

The fourth question was asked again, and it was still "Dead or Dead." Upon hearing the question for the third time, Wiltough suddenly burst into a hysterical laugh.

"Then, I will accept your lifespan."

Li Wei pulled the part representing lifespan from Wei Erhao and devoured it.

"last question……"

Before Li Wei could even speak, Wei Erhao started yelling like a madman, then turned and ran away.

"You can't kill me, you can't kill me!"

"You can't kill me! I'm the disciple of the Lord of Shadows! If you kill me in front of so many people, the Lord of Shadows will not let you off the hook. Your family, your relatives, your friends, and the forces behind you will all face annihilation!"

"It seems you're not going to answer."

Li Wei's body grew to be over a hundred meters tall, and a hand the size of a small hill grabbed Wei Erhao.

"Your soul...I have destroyed it."

A strange sound rang out, and Wilhao's soul vanished.

Chapter 389 [Third Update] Wei, look at me, am I not good-looking?

After destroying Wilhao, Li Wei returned to his original form.

"Afraid?"

Li Wei asked this question subconsciously.

"Is it that scary?" Yuzuriha Inori tilted her head and asked in return.

"Right."

After a moment of silence, Li Wei spoke.

To be honest, he's feeling very confused right now.

Because of Yuzuriha Inori's performance, things he had been deliberately ignoring suddenly came to mind.

For example, back in the beginner dungeon, when I told Touka I was leaving, she turned around and said "Get lost" against her will. Or the group that raided the night in the Sister Killing dungeon, and in the Holy Grail World, there was Jeanne d'Arc, who once wore a girl's short skirt, laughed in front of me, and worshipped me as a god.

All of this flashed through his mind in an instant, and Li Wei felt inexplicably a little irritated.

Just as Jeanne d'Arc had previously commented, perhaps when he was alone, he would make indiscriminate jokes and tease others, just as he had done with Rize Kamishiro in the Ghoul world.

This behavior may stem from loneliness, pure amusement, or other unspeakable reasons.

Some say that behind every funny and cheerful person lies a heartbreaking story.

So, what's behind a madman's seemingly insane behavior?

What words can be used to describe his background and his past?

It must be said that Joan of Arc's words were spot on. Li Wei was the kind of person who could talk a good game with girls, but when it came to actually doing something, he backed down.

The reasons behind this are difficult to investigate in detail.

Li Wei looked at the girl waiting for him with a complicated expression, not knowing where to begin.

Before he left the Crown World and said goodbye to Yuzuriha Inori, she said she would wait for him to come back. He didn't give a clear answer, either yes or no.

He always considered promises to be priceless; once a promise is imbued with credibility, it carries the weight of a lifetime.

Li Wei never makes promises lightly.

Or rather, the number of things he has solemnly promised is very small.

"Wei, have I bothered you?" Yuzuriha Inori lowered her head slightly and bit her lip.

Li Wei shook his head. "No."

"Then why are you unhappy?"

Li Wei sighed, wanting to say something, but he couldn't find the words.

At that moment, a lovely girl flashed through his mind, with a sweet smile, calling him "Master".

If Qi Xi were here, she could definitely help him solve his troubles, right?

Qi Xi has always been much better at this than I am.

The two remained silent.

Suddenly, Yuzuriha Inori spoke softly: "By the way, Wei, have you met Vivi? She's a very cute and strong girl with long blue hair."

As she spoke, Yuzuriha Inori gestured, "Yeah, next to her, there's a duck this big, called Run Fast, and it does run pretty fast."

"I'd like to try riding it, but I'm afraid it will go too fast, so I won't."

"Then one day, I used the void to duplicate a fast runner. Sitting on it with the cool breeze blowing was quite comfortable. Wei, do you want to try it?"

"And another thing, in the past six months, I've written a few new songs, but I haven't sung them to you yet."

“Weiwei said she wanted to hear it too, but I wanted to share it with you first, so I refused that time. Weiwei wasn’t angry, but the way she looked at me was a little strange.”

……

Yuzuriha Inori kept talking and talking, then suddenly she stopped and stared straight at Li Wei.

"Wei, am I not good-looking?"

Li Wei nodded and said, "It looks good."

"Then... could you take a few more glances?" Yuzuriha Inori hesitated for a moment, "Even just one glance?"

Li Wei couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Yuzuriha Inori, I... things aren't what you think, it's just..."

Time seemed to flow back to a few years ago, when he was on the Eiffel Tower, enjoying the breeze with Inori Yuzuriha.

The desolate Christmas that had just appeared was ended by him. He comforted the panicked Yuzuriha Inori, who then turned her head and smiled at him, her long pink hair swaying in the wind, and whispered to him that she would wait for him to come back.

"Several years have passed in the blink of an eye," Li Wei sighed.

“No,” Yuzuriha Inori shook her head. “Tai, how many years have you lived? But in our area, it has been thirteen years, four months and twenty-eight days since we parted ways until we last met.”

"...Yes, it's been that long."

Li Wei patted Yuzuriha Inori's head, and the latter showed a comfortable expression, her eyes slightly narrowed, a smile on her lips, and a light melody hummed from Yuzuriha Inori's mouth.

The music is slow, but not mournful.

Melodious, but not sad.

This is the first new song that Yuzuriha Inori composed in half a year.

Then came the second, the third, the fourth...

Yuzuriha Inori hummed six songs before finally stopping.

At the start of the festival, Inori Yuzuriha mentioned that she would compose a piece of music whenever she missed herself, and that it usually took her more than a month to compose a piece.

And now, there are six in total.

They had been separated for more than half a year since the celebration began.

"That's why I'd rather go and fight."

Li Wei felt a complex mix of emotions.

"Your music... is very beautiful, I like it very much."

Li Wei thought for a moment and then said this.

It's a very simple and concise evaluation, without any fancy words or exciting descriptions.

However, with just this simple "I like you," Yuzuriha Inori smiled happily, took a light step back, and spun around on the spot.

"Weiwei, have I been with you the whole time these past six months?"

Li Wei suddenly asked.

"Hmm, she's a very nice girl. Wei, now that you've met her, then... have you fallen for her?"

Yuzuriha Inori asked, a little nervously.

Li Wei quickly shook his head. How could that be? He wasn't an animal who thought with his lower body. He had only known Weiwei for a short time. Even if he understood the original plot and had a deep understanding of her, there was hardly any emotional foundation between them.

My slight liking for Weiwei is entirely based on having read the original novel, which is a plus.

I would never say I like it.

"Do you want to help her?" Li Wei asked softly.

"Yeah, but there's nothing I can do to help." Yuzuriha Inori was a little unwilling.

"It's alright, in that case, let me help out."

Li Wei remained very serious about this girl who always spoke softly, even after they had known each other for some time.

Because he knew that Yuzuriha Inori would take anything he said seriously, and that she would believe anything he said.

A very silly, very innocent girl.

"Really?" Yuzuriha Inori asked, a slightly happy expression on her face.

"real."

If I don't bring it up, will you just stay silent and not want to put me in a difficult position?

Li Wei thought to himself.

"Alabasta...I've taken complete control of it."

P.S.: Sigh, I also want a girlfriend...

Chapter 390 [Fourth Update] Proclamation of Natural Disaster, Alabasta Under Rule

"My lord, the life-saving insect representing Wilhelm has just died again."

"This is the third one already."

Ahead, a tall, imposing man, whose back was the only visible part of him, spoke calmly.

"I'm sorry, but I'll immediately send people to search for him and try to apprehend the culprit as soon as possible."

Orves glanced nervously at the man's retreating figure. "But so far, those who rushed over haven't been able to identify which coalition was behind it."

"Are there any candidates for reincarnation?"

"Not yet... It's still under investigation. Some residents have provided information saying they've seen dense, seemingly human-faced dark clouds, like Zeus, one of the Four Emperors, Big Mom..."

"Densely packed?"

"Yes, the number is probably in the thousands."

"Thousands? Interesting."

As if he had thought of something, the man chuckled.

"Has your Excellency noticed something?"

"You don't need to worry about that, you just need to get here soon... No need, they're here." The man suddenly changed the subject.

Orves asked doubtfully, "I am ignorant, please enlighten me, sir."

The man pointed to the sky, "They...are here."

Orves looked up at the sky; the sun was blazing over most of Alabasta.

"The sky is clearly..."

Orves, who was about to say nothing, stopped talking when he saw something out of the corner of his eye.

"What...is that?"

Orves had a question in his mind.

……

Centered on the capital city of Alabasta, a ring of dark clouds spread rapidly outwards, covering the entire city in just a few minutes.

The entire island was shrouded in darkness, with almost no sunlight.

Dark clouds are usually a sign of rain, but in Alabasta, which has suffered from drought for a long time, seeing dark clouds is a cause for celebration and joy for the local residents.
