As more and more souls are absorbed, the edge of the black sword becomes darker and darker.

Souls all over the sky are still pouring in, shining in the sky like a feast of souls.

The black sword absorbs souls and light.

It became darker and darker, until the last ghost species got into the black sword, and all the brilliance was absorbed.

Bai Gui is still Bai Gui, but at this time, he has turned into a real mummy.

Xu Le pulled out the black sword, and Bai Gui's body also disappeared into ashes.

Endless silence and sadness spread among the team.

The surviving night watchmen stood up silently and began to sort out their injuries and their deceased teammates.

Wang Shu knelt in front of Bai Jing, clenched his fists tightly, and trembled slightly.

Xu Le walked over holding a black sword, and several other surviving members of Team 6 also followed.

Bai Jing was not dead. Her eyes were particularly calm at this time, and she looked at Gan:

"Gan, from now on they... will be left to you."

Gan, who didn't talk much, nodded after hearing Bai Jing's instructions.

"good."

Then Bai Jing looked at Wang Shu again and slowly stretched out her hand, but her fingers did not touch Wang Shu because her eyes could no longer see.

"Xiaoshu, I need to listen to Xu Le's opinions more in the future."

"I see."

"From today on, you are the captain."

Bai Jing seemed to want to touch Wang Shu's face, but she reached out to the wrong place again.

Wang Shu wanted to grab Bai Jing's hand, but before he could touch it, Bai Jing's body disappeared into the air like a point of light.

Wang Shu finally lowered his head:

"Well done, Captain."

"Captain, let's go... ok."

Xu Le was very upset, but didn't know what to say. He looked at Gan.

But Gan, as if he had noticed it already, turned around and turned his back to Xu Le and the others.

"She is already terminally ill and does not have much time left. If she can fulfill her dream, it will be a worthwhile trip."

"But it's better to live than to die pursuing your dreams, right?"

"Dreams are not illusory, they are a kind of rationality, a pursuit, and a kind of power that inspires people to work hard and realize their dreams.

Everyone has a dream road in their heart, but we don’t have a map, but many people spend their lives looking for it.

Dreams are not reality, but some people can turn them into reality, just like Bai Jing.

And being able to fulfill my last dream is a lucky thing in itself.”

Xu Le gritted his teeth:

"But the man is still dead."

"At least...she protected you."

Gan walked towards Gu Beichen, leaving Xu Le alone in deep thought.

Xu Le stood there for a long time. Finally, he raised his head and blinked many times, then turned and walked in the direction of Gu Jianuo.

Arriving in front of the alchemist, Xu Le took off his coat, covered it with Gu Jianuo, who was bursting with blood, and then picked him up.

"You are quite a gentleman."

Gu Jianuo said, seeing that Xu Le didn't say a word, she continued to ask:

"Is it over?"

"Well, it's over."

"That's good."

Gu Jianuo rested his head on Xu Le's arms and fell into a deep sleep.

Niu Yuan carried Gu Beichen on his back and came to Wang Shu together with Gan.

Wang Shu picked up Bai Jing's sword and stood up slowly.

"The 6th Night Watch Team listened to the order and everyone geared up. After the members of the 5th Team completed the repairs, they returned to the first block along the original road.

Mission, continue."

"yes."

The team marched in silence, and everyone marched without a smile. Until they completed the final exploration of the first block, no one said a word of nonsense.

And Block 53 seems to feel their sadness and anger.

Along the way, not one strange thing appeared again.

When everyone got on the steam chariot, Wang Shu issued an order:

"The mission of the pioneers of Block 53 is completed, let's go home!"

"yes."

In the evening, when the two chariots returned to the lighthouse at the same time, the guards immediately stood at attention with their chests raised as they looked at the wounded and bloody team members.

"The night watchmen return, salute."

Xu Le did not look at them, but looked towards the wild.

Just like what he said to Bai Jing.
Chapter completed!
