Chapter 26: The protagonist of an ancient abusive novel (Part 2)

Translated by peonynoveltl

When Gu Bai returned to the pitch black space, the surrounding environment was still the same as before, nothing changed at all. The soul’s body also condensed a little more.

But after returning to the starry space this time, he was somewhat absent-minded. After all, he really lived in that world for a hundred years, so he needs some time to react.

”How do you feel?”

The mysterious voice that hasn’t been heard for a long time sounded once again and Gu Bai finally returned to reality.

This time he wasn’t facing an empty surrounding. A tall man wearing black armor and a face that couldn’t be seen appeared in front of him in mid-air. The other person’s body was a little transparent, probably still in an illusion-like state, just like that time when he summoned him during the mission.

Gu Bai quickly cupped his hands and responded in a respectful manner, “Master….”

”En, the mission was done well, your soul seems to have condensed more than a little…”

Although the mysterious man was praising him, the eyes revealed by the mask were still cold like ice, making people dare not to look straight at him, as if he doesn’t have any human warmth.

”Many thanks for master’s help this time…” Gu Bai didn’t dare to continue looking at him. The other person’s cold aura was terrifying.

”No need to thank, that was your reward last time, the mission this time won’t have it anymore. Do you need to enter the mission immediately or do you want to rest for a while?” The mysterious man spoke faintly.

”I still want to rest for a while…” Gu Bai hesitated for a moment, then said, “Master… can I ask you another question?”

”Go ahead…”

”Master, you said that the people in those worlds have souls, then will they also reincarnate when they die?”

”If they have souls, they will naturally reincarnate.”

”Then when we do the task, is it possible to once again meet the same person from before?” Gu Bai asked while holding his breath.

”Yes, but the possibility isn’t big, because there are too many universes…”

The mysterious man stared at him after he was done talking, his gaze somewhat cold. Then he continued, “You asked such a question, have you grown attached* to the people in those worlds?”

*留戀 can’t bear to part; recall with nostalgia

”……”

Gu Bai didn’t say anything, he doesn’t know how he should answer, because he also doesn’t know. It’s just that when he left this time, he felt a little bit more reluctant than when the mission ended in first world. Although it was very faint, he could feel it because it was an emotion that he never had before.

”Actually, it doesn’t matter if you’ve grown attached. It’s not like such people among you doesn’t exist, they grow attached to the wealth, status, power, and the throne and beauty of those worlds….but benjun* needs to remind you that you people are different from the people in those worlds, they will reincarnate after death. If you people become self-absorbed, once dead, it’s truly dead….”

*this Master/lord

The mysterious man looked at Gu Bai’s expression and then spoke without any emotional fluctuation in his voice.

”Gu Bai, do you know why I chose you back then?”

”Master, please state the reason.”

”Before you, benjun has chosen a lot of people. Until now, they also serve benjun, but they constantly never return after going to those worlds… and you have an advantage that they don’t have, you don’t have a heart. You are a person born without feelings, you won’t be swayed by feelings and end up indulging in the world. Benjun doesn’t mind those subordinates dying from indulging in those worlds, because feelings are things that no one can avoid, but Gu Bai, benjun thinks that you’re certainly the one who has lived the longest….”

Gu Bai’s expression was slightly stunned. Without saying anything, he lowered his head to hide his suddenly wavering eyes. He couldn’t help but reach out and touch the chest that really doesn’t seem to have a heartbeat.

”Thank you master, I understand. I want to enter the mission right away….”

After a long while, he cupped his hands and responded calmly.
