Fortunately, Xu Shenxing was quite familiar with most of the areas in Jiang Jin when he was working as a delivery man. Therefore, although the specific location was not mentioned over the phone, it was not a problem as long as he had a general direction.
Without Jasmine by his side, teleportation (physical) was naturally impossible. Therefore, Xu Shenxing could only run to the scene of the incident in the form of a normal person's high-speed train. It wasn't that he couldn't run faster, but if he continued to accelerate, Yun Lin wouldn't be able to block and eliminate the sonic boom and other overflowing energy caused by his running. This would cause irreversible damage to the entire city.
But even so, in less than half a minute, he had already arrived at the scene of the incident. The messy shop entrance was the best indicator.
A few policemen seemed to be trying to maintain order. A person who looked like a survivor who had escaped from the shop was emotionally describing what had happened in the shop to one of the policemen. But for some reason, the policemen seemed to be hesitating whether to go in or not.
They were probably waiting for backup.
Xu Shenxing casually found an answer from his limited police knowledge, which mainly came from movies and TV series.
While no one seemed to notice him, Xu Shenxing easily crossed the barricade used to block the entrance of the shop and ran into the dessert shop.
After he went in, he realized why the police didn't come in.
There were a total of three corpses at the entrance of the shop, and all of them were decapitated. Two of them were wearing police uniforms. It seemed that the policemen came in immediately after receiving the report, but they were immediately killed before they could find the culprit. Perhaps there were other policemen who witnessed this terrifying and unbelievable scene, so now all the policemen were waiting outside for backup and did not come in again.
Xu Shenxing was temporarily relieved that there was no female among the corpses on the ground.
In other words, Mizuki Takemiya should still be alive.
He carefully looked at the corpses. The cause of death of the three victims was exactly the same. Their heads were directly twisted off by a huge force. Xu Shenxing had seen similar wounds before. In some lattice worlds, the demons who occupied the world liked to boast about their evil power. One of the most common ways was to twist the human head off.
At this moment, a cold and thick tentacle-like thing suddenly wrapped around Xu Shenxing's neck. Then, the tentacle suddenly tightened, wanting to strangle Xu Shenxing to death!
This made Xu Shenxing happy. It seemed that the culprit was still alive.
So he pinched the tentacle-like thing and heard a splashing sound. The tentacle directly broke, and thick red blood spurted out!
Almost at the same time, a low and hoarse roar came from the top of Xu Shenxing's head. It seemed that the monster could also feel pain.
Without any hesitation, Xu Shenxing punched the ceiling again. Suddenly, nearly half of the entire ceiling was directly blown away and disappeared. Even the dark clouds in the sky were blasted into a circular gap. After a long while, the gap slowly closed, and then pure white snowflakes floated into the shop.
"Tsk, I used too much strength … I've stopped training for so long, but my strength is still getting stronger …" Xu Shenxing's face was a little ugly. Even though he had tried his best to control his strength, he did not expect to cause too much damage. "But, the feeling just now, is it a monster … No, is it a monster?"
After Xu Shenxing mastered his strength, he could almost kill everything with a single blow. However, after many battles, he could still distinguish the general species of the creatures he killed. It was just like humans stepping on insects. Even if it took the same amount of strength, the feeling of stepping on an ant and stepping on a cockroach should be different, right?
By the way, the part that wrapped around Xu Shenxing's neck, which he thought was a tentacle, seemed to be the monster's tail.
However, after making the decision to let Xiao Zhengyi deal with the aftermath, Xu Shenxing threw this matter to the back of his mind.
The police outside were a little surprised by the sudden change in the shop, but they still did not look like they were going to rush in. This also gave Xu Shenxing a chance to search for Mizuki Takemiya.
But for some reason, he seemed to be unable to sense Mizuki Takemiya's aura in the shop.
"If you are looking for the two girls …" At this time, a waiter hiding under the table plucked up his courage and said to Xu Shenxing, "They just ran away from the back door of the kitchen, but it seems that an invisible monster is chasing after them …"
"Thanks, you just stay here and wait for rescue. I think the police will be unable to hold back and rush in soon."
After Xu Shenxing thanked the waiter, he ran toward the kitchen that the waiter pointed out.
At this time, the back door of the kitchen had disappeared … To be precise, it disappeared along with the wall where the back door was originally located.
Xu Shenxing hurriedly chased out.
Fortunately, the ground in the back alley was full of potholes, full of terrain that did not seem to be formed naturally, or could be seen in the city.
So Xu Shenxing immediately chased in that direction.
But after turning a corner, his heart suddenly sank to the bottom of the valley.
It was still a small alley, but this time, the alley was filled with bright red blood stains. It looked just like the photos of the murder scene that Xiao Zhengyi had shown him before!
Could it be that he was too late?
Xu Shenxing regretted in his heart, and punched the wall next to him. Even though he controlled his strength, he still smashed a spider web-like hole in the wall.
"I can't save them again … Sure enough, I …"
But soon after, he realized that something was wrong.
"Wait, this blood … is not human blood?"
☆ About a few minutes ago.
When Mizuki Takemiya was shrouded in despair, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Although it is my responsibility as a bodyguard to protect you, can I ask Imperial Concubine Daren to occasionally think about it from my perspective?"
Mizuki Takemiya suddenly realized that the voice actually came from her shoulder, so she turned her head and saw a small paper doll was holding her hair. The small paper doll's body was probably a rune type text that emitted a light blue halo.
"Miss Hanakuin?" Mizuki Takemiya somewhat surprised shouted.
Almost at the same time, several other paper dolls also crawled out from the corner of the girl's clothes, and then jumped forward.
Only to hear a series of explosions, those small paper dolls exploded like bombs.
Thus, the monster that was about to touch the girl was forced back a few steps by the sudden explosion.
After this, a figure fell from the sky (actually, it jumped down from the roof of a nearby building), and landed between Mizuki Takemiya and the invisible monster. It was the girl's bodyguard from the Yin Yang Liao, Yoshio Hanakuin.
"Although your expression tells me that compared to me, you seem to want someone else to save you, but for now, please bear with it."
"No, I didn't …" Mizuki Takemiya was a little embarrassed as he explained in a low voice.
The other party waved at Mizuki Takemiya's shoulder, and the paper doll on Mizuki Takemiya's shoulder turned into an ordinary piece of paper and flew back into the girl's hand.
"Also, about sneaking out, I'll talk to you about it later, but now …" The girl glanced at Mizuki Takemiya's apologetic face, and couldn't help but sigh, then looked at the empty space in front of her: "Let's deal with that thing first."
"Miss Hanakuin, be careful, that monster can't be seen with the eyes!"
Mizuki Takemiya hurriedly said.
"Anxin, how many of the demons do you think Yin Yang Masters will reveal themselves on their own accord?"
As she spoke, the girl threw out a paper talisman.
Although Miss Hanakuin had been defeated from the beginning until now, this could only mean that her luck was relatively low, and the enemies she had encountered before were too strong. It wasn't like Mo Li, who was comparable to the Demon King even if he was sealed, but it was the incarnation of the evilness of humans from 700 worlds in the magical girl's world, so it was natural for her to be beaten up.
In fact, as the genius girl of the Yin Yang Liao, to be able to control the seven stars of the Big Dipper to a certain extent, or rather, to be one of the Nine Emperors, she was quite strong.
When the enemy was more normal, such as the invisible man-eating monsters, her strength could be displayed more objectively.
The paper talisman spontaneously combusted in an instant, and then a black thing emerged from it. It was a tall but very thin humanoid creature, wearing a black suit, but it had no facial features, and there were black tentacle-like organs behind it.
This was one of Hanakuin's shikigami, the slender man whose hands were once broken by Mo Li.
As an anomaly born from urban legends, as long as the rumors about it still existed, the thin, long ghost would not be completely eliminated. Even when Jasmine beat the crap out of it, it only took a short period of recuperation for it to recover to its current state.
According to urban legends, humans who were targeted by the skinny ghostly figure were almost never able to escape its pursuit. Therefore, this shikigami could also use other means of perception other than sight to find its prey. However, it was a mystery whether this creature had vision or not since it had no eyes...
In short, with this ability, the slender man would not be unable to attack because he could not 'see' the enemy. Almost at the moment he appeared, the tentacles behind him had already wrapped around something in the air.
Then, the invisible monster naturally began to counterattack, biting off a few of the slender man's tentacles, but this could not prevent it from being bound by the remaining tentacles of the slender man. But this was the end. The invisible monster's body was far stronger than normal creatures, and it was almost immune to any of the slender man's attacks. At the same time, as a monster, it could also be immune to the effects of the slender man's sanity (urban legends said that even if someone successfully escaped from the slender man, they would eventually be affected by it and become crazy).
However, Hanakuin did not intend to rely on the slender man's attack power to finish off her opponent.
From the beginning, she only wanted to bind her opponent for a short period of time!
"Shikigami Summon — Half-step Giant Gate — Modified!"
In the next moment, the bound monster, along with the skinny monster that was trying to bind it, was stomped into a pancake by the elephant's leg that descended from the sky …
Unlike the gigantic elephant leg she used to deal with Mo Li, the Half-step Giant Gate this time was much smaller. Although its power would be reduced, its accuracy would be greatly improved. This was one of the results of the Yin Yang Master girl's training during this period of time. She did not know why, but she always felt that if she really dared to use the full version of the Half-step Giant Gate to destroy half of Jiang Jin's street, she would definitely regret it for some reason …
The slender man was a pure concept creature, and after being stomped on, it only turned into a funny paper-like shape. After waving its hand in protest at Hanakuin, it disappeared. However, the invisible monster was like a stepped tomato, splattering blood all over the ground. If it was placed on some video websites in Huaxia, it would be at the level of a Holy Light or Dark Priest.
Hanakuin sighed softly, and finally relaxed.
"In short, it's not convenient to talk here, it's better if we leave first. Miss Wuye's car is still waiting for us outside. "
"Hanakuin, so you came here by car …" Mizuki Takemiya was surprised.
"Of course. Because cars are cheap and fast, if they used wind scythe magic to rush here, I don't even know if I have enough Reiki to fight with the enemy. "
Hanakuin explained, "Moreover, the paper talismans used to cast spells are also very expensive."
"How should I put it, I feel like it's unexpectedly realistic …" Mizuki Takemiya's face showed an expression of disillusionment.
With Concubine Gong Ruixi and the confused little girl, they turned left and right for a long time in Blossom Courtyard before finally finding the exit of the alley with great difficulty.
Not long after, a limousine stopped at the intersection.
"Onee-sama!" As soon as the door opened, Wu Yejin rushed towards Mizuki Takemiya, but was blocked by Hanakuin skillfully.
"Let's talk in the car."
When everyone got on the limousine and drove to the hotel, Mizuki Takemiya roughly told the two of them what happened.
"In other words, the cause of all this is you, little girl?" Wu Yejin said with righteous indignation while driving.
"From the results, yes." The little girl nodded, "But please believe me, I didn't want to do this."
"But you have involved my employer in danger, this point is irrefutable." Hanakayuan Youyuan seized the opportunity to say.
"Yes, so I suggest you let me go now, I will try to live alone."
The little girl said very seriously.
Hanakuin Youyuan looked at Mizuki Takemiya, the meaning was clear, let her make the decision.
"Sorry, before making a decision, can I know the cause of this matter?" Mizuki Takemiya thought for a moment and asked the little girl.
"Didn't you ask before?" The little girl asked curiously, "Why do you want to ask again?"
"Although I can't tell the exact reason, I feel that you are a little different from your previous naive appearance …" Mizuki Takemiya took a deep breath and replied, "People's experience will affect people's personality, and the so-called memory is the proof of experience. When you retrieved part of your memory, because the experience is different from before, your personality has also changed. Am I right?"
"I didn't expect that the words I asked you outside the kitchen before would make you feel this way, but generally speaking, you are not wrong."
The little girl nodded, "Although it is not complete, I did recover a little memory. You are not an outsider here, so I will simply tell you."
After speaking, the little girl was silent, as if she was hesitating where to start.
After organizing her words for a while, she began to say, "Although it is somewhat unbelievable, I am actually the former god of this land."
"Eh? Earth god? Like Ksitigarbha? "Mizuki Takemiya revealed a surprised expression.
"No, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is much higher than the Earth god in terms of divine level." The little girl shook her head and said, "Actually, that is not right. To be precise, I am only 'half'."
Although Hanakayuan, who had studied Huaxia and Fusang mythology, wanted to say something, in the end, she did not say anything and waited quietly for the other party to continue.
"Because of some reason, the original me split into two people. One is the me in front of you, and the other is the leader of the man-eating monsters." The little girl continued, "If I have to make an analogy, my relationship with her now is like a balloon in the middle with a rubber band. If one side becomes bigger, the other side will become smaller, and vice versa."
"And the gas in the balloon can be seen as our original memories and strength." The little girl looked at Mizuki Takemiya, "The reason why I had no memory of you when I first met you was because the balloon on my side was already extremely small. It could only maintain the most basic survival knowledge and the strength of a normal person."
"Then how did you recover to this extent?" Mizuki Takemiya asked curiously. She thought about what they had done at that time and asked, "Could it be because you ate food?"
"If you don't know, then say it!" The little girl replied confidently.
"Hey, can you be a little more reliable?!" Five Leaf Pansy, who almost hit the fence by accident, complained loudly.
"Even if you say that, I really don't know …" The little girl looked innocent and said helplessly with her hands spread out, "It is also the first time I have split into two people. What can I do?"
"Then is the purpose of the other you to kill you?" Hanakayuan changed the direction of the conversation and asked.
"Yes. Although the main reason is not clear, I feel that the other party might think that as long as she kills me, she can become the real 'herself.'"
The little girl nodded.
"By the way, speaking of which, until now, I still don't know your name!" Mizuki Takemiya suddenly asked, putting her hands together.
"That's right, my name is … Well, although I want to tell you, in fact, I haven't recovered the memory in this area. But for the time being, I will tell you the fake name I used before. You can call me Yuxuan, Wang Yuxuan."
