On the way out, Shirō Makino put on his baseball cap, lowered the brim of the cap, and put on his mask.
He didn't want to go out on such a hot day, but he didn't want to be surrounded even more.
He quickly passed through the crowd and the crowd of parents waiting outside the school, all the way to the parking lot. He teleported to a floor that was more than a hundred meters high and found his old car.
After getting in the car, he told the driver to go home, and the car slowly flew out of the parking lot.
It was more than a hundred meters off the ground, and at a speed of about sixty kilometers per hour, it passed through countless skyscrapers, and drove in the direction of the suburbs.
Shirō Makino's house was more than thirty kilometers away from Hundred Flowers City.
It was a three-story villa of seven or eight hundred square meters. It was backed by a green mountain range, and in front of it was a large river. It had excellent Fengshui.
The yard, which covered an area of several acres, was filled with flowers and trees, and the corridor in front of the main door was covered with green grapevines.
It was full of plump grapes, which made people feel happy just by looking at it.
Unfortunately, there were no neighbors here.
Most people bought this place for vacation, and few people lived here for a long time.
The reason why they lived here was because it was quiet, according to the old man.
Shirō Makino thought it was because it was cheap.
The housing in the city was too expensive!
After arriving home, Shirō Makino parked the car, opened the door excitedly, and shouted, "Old man, I'm back! Hahaha, I was accepted by First High School... "
Halfway through, he realized that the old man wasn't there, and shut his mouth gloomily.
He changed his shoes, walked into the living room, and sat down on the sofa, frowning.
"Half a month, and not even a shadow, you old man... You just threw me away without saying a word?
"What about responsibility? Conscience? What about morals? "
"You used to scare me, saying that if you suddenly disappeared, you would most likely be dead … What nonsense!"
"You're just a cowardly old man. Who wants to kill you?"
Shirō Makino muttered to himself, and his whole body sank into the sofa. After a long time, he rolled his eyes and said, "Old man!"
"Beautiful... Beautiful!"
Shirō Makino suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs.
"I'm coming, little brother, don't be in such a hurry …"
A beautiful woman with an extremely hot body appeared in the void. She had long wavy hair and watery eyes. She was wearing a light yellow cheongsam with an extremely high cleavage, and her straight and smooth white legs were faintly discernible.
She leisurely walked in front of Shirō Makino and winked at him.
This was the family's AI, and it was even worse than the old man. It had played tricks on him many times over the years.
The beautiful image was also the work of the old man, who said that beautiful women were pleasing to the eye.
At the time, Shirō Makino had suggested that naked was more pleasing to the eye.
He was looked down upon by the old man. "What does a little kid know? What's there to look at a naked woman? Only a woman who dresses modestly but acts seductively is beautiful! "
He even said that Shirō Makino was vulgar.
No one knew who was so vulgar as to name the AI Big Pretty.
It was so low!
As a result, the petty Big Pretty took revenge on Shirō Makino for a long time.
While he was sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, she suddenly pretended to be a ghost and scared him. She made him buns, dumplings, and other stuffing with chopped onions that he hated the most. For example …
For example, when Brother Bai was concentrating on learning some extracurricular knowledge, the speaker suddenly emitted a high-pitched indescribable sound …
In short, this was a bastard AI: vengeful, petty, poisonous, two-faced …
No one knew which bastard developed it.
"Big Pretty, where did the old man go?" Shirō Makino once again asked about the old man's whereabouts.
For the past half a month, he had been busy preparing for the cultural exams and applying for First High School. He had asked Big Pretty a few times, but to no avail.
Now that he had no problem entering First High School, there was still no news of the old man. Shirō Makino didn't believe that the old man would disappear without leaving a word.
"Are you begging me?" The seductive beautiful woman flicked her long wavy hair and raised her eyebrows at Shirō Makino.
As expected!
"Not going to say?" Shirō Makino glanced in the direction of the electric switch.
"Aiya, big brother, look at that. Why did you have to kill me when we were just playing?" Big Pretty's face was full of resentment. She pouted and said, "Master left you a video."
"Play it."
"Big brother, you can't play it now!"
"Why?"
"You have to finish your high school exams first."
"I'm done." Shirō Makino rolled his eyes.
"But you haven't gotten the admission notice yet!"
"You're already a mature AI. You need to have the intelligence to match it. Can't you check the website of the education system yourself? If you can't even do that, what's the use of keeping you? You might as well divorce! "
"Big brother, divorce … refers to a malicious method used by a husband to expel his wife in a patriarchal society. This isn't the ancient times, and I'm not big brother's wife, so you can't divorce me."
"Then I'll cut off the electricity!" Shirō Makino said angrily, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Hurry up! "
Only the old man treasured her so much. He claimed that she was the most advanced AI in the Zulong Empire, unparalleled in the world!
Forget it, the old man's ability to brag was unparalleled in the world!
The most advanced AI in the Zulong Empire? From Shirō Makino's point of view, even on the Immortal Planet, no, even in this Hundred Flowers City, there were many more advanced AIs than this!
Those AIs were so obedient, doing whatever they were told!
They definitely wouldn't tease him for no reason, and they definitely wouldn't put chopped green onions in his food!
Big Pretty was a black-hearted scammer!
Other than snitching on him and acting cute in front of the old man, she didn't seem to have any special abilities.
Now that the old man wasn't around, he was the one in charge of this house!
If you don't agree, I'll cut off your electricity!
Little guy, you don't believe that I can't deal with you?
"You're so mean to me …"
Big Pretty's face was full of grievance and pitiful, but Shirō Makino was indifferent.
It's been so many years, and you're still playing this game. It's useless!
My heart is as hard as iron!
Big Pretty's acting cute failed, and she pouted and waved her hand. Instantly, the image of a dirty, old man with long hair appeared in the living room.
The first thing he said was, "I'm not home, so don't bully Big Pretty!"
Big Pretty was touched, and she nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.
Acting Queen!
On the sofa, Shirō Makino ignored Big Pretty and sat up straight. He looked at the old man and mumbled, "How would I dare to bully her?"
"Child, you've grown up in the blink of an eye!"
The old man's face was full of emotion.
Shirō Makino was shocked!
Was he trying to be emotional?
The old man actually knew how to be emotional?
"All these years, you've always been by my side. All your studies have been completed at home, and all your experiences have been imparted to you by me. You've barely had any contact with the outside world.
"This is somewhat unfair to you, but it's also a form of protection for you.
"What gratifies me is that you didn't become introverted or autistic because of this. You still have a cheerful personality, and you're not afraid of interacting with strangers."
Shirō Makino pouted. 'Being by your side and Big Pretty's side every day, it would be difficult for me to become autistic, right?'
After a pause, the old man said, "I did indeed seal a portion of your memories. More accurately, it's your memories from before you were eleven years old. "
'Old man, it really is you!'
"You must be curious about your identity and background." The old man's eyes shone with wisdom.
Shirō Makino suddenly raised his head.
"Actually, I'm curious as well," the old man said.
Shirō Makino was rendered speechless.
"However, I have a bold guess! Based on the place where you were discovered, I feel that you might have come from that place … "
In the image, the old man's expression became serious. He waved his hand, and an image of a vast ocean appeared next to him. In the middle of the ocean was a large island.
Above the island, several large words were written in bold strokes — Demon Island!
"This is a place that only exists in legends, and only a few people who have reached a certain level of status know about it."
"The name Demon Island was also given by outsiders."
"I've only heard about it, but I don't know much about it. I only know that it's a terrifying place. "
"When I discovered you, you weren't alone. There was a girl who was younger than you by your side."
"The reason why I discovered you was because your spiritual undulations were too strong! I'm a Talisman Artist, and I'm naturally sensitive to spiritual energy. At that time, you didn't know any way to conceal your spiritual energy … "
The old man told Shirō Makino that the girl's name was Lin Zijin.
The two of them did not get their names later. Instead, they carried a nameplate with their names written on it.
Sealing their memories was because they were young and impulsive, and would easily cause problems. Separating them was because they were afraid that they would be too obvious. As for sealing their spiritual energy … the reason was even simpler.
Not to mention Hundred Flowers City, even the Flying Celestial Planet, or even the entire Zulong Empire, didn't have a person like Shirō Makino.
He was a demonic spiritual-type genius!
He was a natural-born Talisman Artist!
Actually, even Shirō Makino himself didn't know how much spiritual energy he had. The old man never told him either.
But he was sure that it had already exceeded 200!
There were 50 billion people on the Flying Celestial Planet, but only a few 16 or 17 years old had a spiritual energy of more than 100.
A few hundred?
That was enough to scare people to death!
If news of this got out, it would definitely cause a huge uproar!
The old man wanted Bai Muye to choose his own path in the future. He didn't want to be treated like a national treasure.
"I'm guessing that you risked your life to escape from that place because you didn't want to be manipulated by others. That's why I've been sealing your spiritual energy all these years …"
The old man didn't tell him where Lin Zijin was. He only said that he would definitely see her when the time came.
At the same time, he also told Shirō Makino that the double seal on his memory and spiritual energy wouldn't last much longer.
"I've left you a Talisman Artist's Encyclopedia that I obtained from a relic. I learned all my skills from there, but my talent is limited, and I've only learned a little bit."
"You're different. You're a true genius, and you'll get twice the results with half the effort."
"I've been suppressing you from learning more all these years because you're too talented, and you need to build a solid foundation …"
Shirō Makino nodded silently. He understood the old man's painstaking efforts.
"Now that you're going to high school, and your career path is about to begin, it's impossible for me to continue suppressing you. Luckily, you've grown up. Remember, don't let anyone know about the existence of the Talisman Artist's Encyclopedia. Learn the knowledge about spiritual energy from it first! That way, you can continue to hide your true ability in the future. "
"In this world, money and fame are all fleeting clouds. You must learn to keep a low profile. The bird that sticks out gets shot, and the rafters that stick out get rotted first … "
"At the same time, you must cultivate diligently! I've already taught you all the basics of becoming a Talisman Artist. You'll have to walk the rest of the path by yourself. "
"Stay alive when you encounter danger. Only by staying alive will you have hope for the future."
"As for me, you don't need to worry. Don't try to investigate the reason for my disappearance, or you'll get yourself killed! Remember! This isn't a joke. "
The video left by the old man lasted for more than an hour. Not only did it reveal a lot of information, but it also included many suggestions for Shirō Makino's future.
Yes, just suggestions.
The old man said frankly that he could only guide a genius like Shirō Makino on some basic knowledge. He would have to rely on himself to complete the rest.
Finally, the old man said with a solemn expression, "Finally, there's one more very important thing."
Shirō Makino sat up straight.
"We're renting this house, and the monthly rent isn't expensive, just a little over 50,000 …"
Shirō Makino: "???"
"I'll only pay the rent until the end of this month. I believe that with your ability, you'll definitely be able to …"
Shirō Makino's eyes gradually widened as he stared at the gradually fading video of the old man. He was completely stupefied.
The house that he'd lived in for so many years was rented?
The monthly rent was more than 50,000 … and that was it?
Was that even something a human could say?
F * ck!
There were only three days left in this month!
Was there a need to be such a scam?
Not only did you abandon me, you even want me to support myself?
But I don't have money!
