18 Chapter 18

And so the days went by, since that incident nothing more remarkable had happened with Su Yang's life.

There were days when he and Xu Miao played with Charlotte, making the little girl smile from ear to ear.

But all that is good an hour ends and it was no different with Su Yang, he was at his house with Xu Miao and Charlotte while they watched drawing, until the program they were watching was interrupted by some news that shocked them.

"People infected with an unknown virus are attacking each other, quickly twenty percent of the population has been infected, please do not leave home". The presenter had a terrifying expression when she said these words.

In a single day twenty percent of the world's population was infected with an unknown virus, and now those people who have been infected are attacking others.

By their estimate, if nothing was done to stop this, the human race would be extinguished.

Su Yang was frightened by this news, he had remembered why he was here.

"The special mission." He realized that it wasn't really a dream he had reincarnated into the world of DxD as Itachi.

"But then why my old body?" He realized this problem, if he was still in Itachi's body, then he could easily solve this problem.

Looking at the two girls who were scared he made a resolution in his heart that he would not allow anything to happen to them.

"Don't worry, I'm here." He comforted the girls mainly Charlotte who had eyes full of tears, at that moment Su Yang was thinking about the next steps he should take to ensure everyone's safety.

But his thoughts were interrupted when he heard a noise in the kitchen, his heart jumped when he heard this noise and he had a bad feeling.

"I hope I'm wrong." He prayed in his mind.

With the girls on his shore, he ran towards his kitchen, only to see his mother looking like that truck driver who almost ran over Charlotte.

Su Yang's expression was empty, underneath his mother who was now infected was his father who had no signs of being alive.

Su Yang's heart broke in pain, tears were flowing from six eyes, his mother had become an infected person, and his father was now dead.

He did not expect this to happen, his parents had not left home in the last few months then as they were infected.

"Father... Mother..." He murmured when he saw this scene, he knew there was no salvation for his mother, people didn't even leave where the virus came from so a cure is impossible.

Looking back he saw the expression of fear but girls, he knew that at that moment he was their pillar, so he had to be strong.

His mother who was now infected, looked at them as prey, Su Yang knew what he had to do, but also knew that he would be sorry in the future.

"I'm sorry..." He took a knife that was on the table and ran towards his mother with the intention of ending her suffering.

Su Yang's mother was acting only on instinct, while running towards Su Yang.

He felt, his mother's fingers pierced some of his flesh, making blood flow. "I'm sorry, Mom..."

Saying this, he started stabbing his mother's head, his heart was sour, he knew he could never forget this scene, he had killed his mother.

The pain of killing his loved one was consuming him, but he decided to supply this pain, so as not to make the girls even more scared.

"Come on, get out of here." He then started to get canned food and water so they could run away from this house.

Xu Miao saw the state her boyfriend was in, but chose not to say anything, she knew that anything she said now would do no good.

"Su Yang..." She was sad, and was frustrated that she couldn't help him.

Charlotte was trembling, she was a smart girl and knew that if Su Yang hadn't killed her own mother, they probably would have died.

After getting everything they needed, Su Yang took them to his garage, he had plans to use his father's car to see if Xu Miao and Charlotte's relatives were still alive.

Taking the keys that were on a counter near the car, he waved for the girls to get into the car.

"Let's go to Charlotte's house first, and then to Xu Miao's house."

The girls nodded, and prayed silently that their parents were still alive and well.

Su Yang also hoped the girls' parents would be okay, since he knew what he would have to do if they became infected.

Arriving at Charlotte's house he saw the state the house was in and sighed with sadness, Charlotte was already crying while hugging Xu Miao.

They saw Charlotte's parents wandering aimlessly, there was horn on their heads while their red eyes glowed from time to time, they had become infected.

Su Yang knew what he had to do, but he didn't want Charlotte to see this scene, he could run away and go to Xu Miao's house, but he knew what would happen if he let these two wander around infected.

They would probably kill other people, or make them infected, so he chose to put an end to this suffering.

Passing the hand on Charlotte's head as an intention to comfort the poor little girl.

He waved to Xu Miao, as he got out of the car towards the couple who were walking aimlessly.

"I need to be strong." These were his thoughts while wearing a metal baseball bat he had bought on the internet when it was still an otaku.

A few minutes passed, and Su Yang went back to the car, he had blood on his clothes, and his expression was even more empty.

He had killed, the parents of the little girl he took care of as his own little sister, and once again he made a promise to protect this little girl.

Xu Miao, knew that soon he would have to do something to help his boyfriend, or else he could make a mistake that will end up killing himself.

"Let's go to your house Xu Miao. He said with a voice without feelings.

"I killed my mother. And now I've killed Charlotte's parents." His feelings were confused, all those people taking care of him, that warm feeling of having a family, he had lost.

All he could do now was to protect these two girls, otherwise he doesn't know what he will do.

At Xu Miao's house, the same scene happened, Xu Miao's parents had become infected, but Xu Miao didn't drop any tears, she was trying to be strong.

Su Yang knew what she was doing, and all he could promise was that he would protect her with all his life.

He had also ended the suffering of Xu Miao's parents, and once again that feeling of powerlessness hit him, he was weak, and could do nothing to change it.

"Where to now?" Xu Miao asked, trying to forget the sadness of losing her parents, she knew it wasn't Su Yang's fault, nobody imagined that her own parents would become infected.

"I know a place where I stayed with my friends in childhood. Those were the only words Su Yang said since she got into the car after killing Xu Miao's parents.

When he entered Xu Miao's parents' house, he saw Xu Miao's mother attacking Xu Feng, Xu Miao's father.

He immediately killed Xu Miao's mother, but when he saw the state in which Xu Feng was his heart trembled, and he knew that he would have to kill him.

Xu Feng himself, who was seriously hurt, knew what would happen to him, so he talked to Su Yang.

"Take care of my daughter Su Yang, this is the only thing I ask you, now put an end to my suffering, please. Xu Feng said with blood flowing from his mouth.

Su Yang's right hand that was holding the baseball bat was shaking, but he still did what Xu Feng asked.

Back inside the car, he just shook his head to Xu Miao, and she had already understood what had happened.

Su Yang took them to a house on a farm, the house seemed abandoned on the outside, but inside was very well tidy, this house was something Su Yang loved, since it was here where he learned to like animals, and if nothing had gone wrong in his life, he would live here when he decided to retire.

But we can't always have what we want, and Su Yang knew that.

"Let's go inside, tomorrow we'll think about what to do."
