You are already in a different world and will only return to reality in two days,
But Tatara didn't think so,
No matter how unreliable Tokugawa Sen was,
He still raised him, who was not related by blood, to this age. He had food, drinks, clothes, and a place to live, and he looked so good (?) ... Look, how could it be possible without a lucky A. Cop >
But today, he was not so lucky. First, he was distracted in school and was accidentally found by the teacher and punished to stand for the whole morning,
After class in the afternoon, he was ready to go to the new base to play, but when he got there, he found that the base had been completely destroyed because of the demolition of the building. He didn't even get the discount products in the supermarket that he frequented, and even the expired lunchboxes were gone.
That was fine,
On the way home, he changed his route, which was rare, and happened to meet his adoptive father, who was being chased by thugs,
Just as he was about to say hello, he saw the other party's face turn ferocious as if he had seen a ghost. He rushed over, pressed him into his arms, and ran away... for the first time, he knew that his adoptive father had a talent for track and field,
He ran like Usain Bolt.
During this time, he didn't raise his head. He was sure that even if those thugs saw him, they wouldn't recognize him,
Therefore,
He dared to tell his adoptive father that he was going back. But when he was unlucky, even water would be stuck between his teeth. He would never have thought that..,
The tattered windbreaker in his arms would be exposed. If he was discovered by this group of people..,
Then the consequences..
No wonder the horoscope program in the morning said that Aquarius's luck was bad this month,
It was easy to encounter accidents when you went out on a single day, and it might even be life-threatening... now it was coming true.
Tatara sighed in his heart and forced himself to calm down. His little brain kept working, and he turned back before the man behind him ran out of patience.
Then, before he could stand firm, the windbreaker in his hand was rudely snatched away by a big hand. Tatara narrowed his eyes slightly, but he didn't make a sound.
"Big Brother, this seems to be Tokugawa Sen's windbreaker!" Xiao Luo a said excitedly, then turned around and looked at Tatara fiercely. "Brat, where did you get this?"
With a scared expression on his face, Tatara pointed in the direction he came from and stammered, "Uncle, I picked this up from the trash can over there."
"That guy actually ran away from there again! Hey, are you a rabbit? Big Brother, let's chase after them! "Xiao Luo casually threw his tattered windbreaker on the ground and prepared to catch them.
"Wait!" The man in the lead stopped his younger brother and looked at Tatara from head to toe. He was thin, and his clothes were washed until they were bleached. There were also various traces of mending. At first glance, one could tell that he was a child from a poor family. This district was the slum area of the entire town, so it was normal to meet one or two such children.
However, no one expected that the man would suddenly reach out and grab Tatara with lightning speed. "Picked him up? Do you really think I'm stupid? You were the one who Tokugawa Sen carried and ran away just now, right? What's your relationship with him? "
"I don't know the person you're talking about. I just wanted to come out and look for something. I just picked up these clothes over there!" Tatara's heart skipped a beat, but of course, he wouldn't admit it. He looked at the man with a pitiful and harmless look.
The man was silent for a moment, as if he believed his words, and let go of Tatara's clothes.
Before Tatara could breathe a sigh of relief, a rough hand suddenly grabbed his slender neck and lifted him up again.
The sudden suffocation made Tatara's eyes widen in pain. His amber eyes gradually became bloodshot, and his hands subconsciously clawed at the hand around his neck.
He was originally a member of a ruthless organization. Facing such a weak child, the man did not have the slightest bit of pity. He tightly gripped Tatsuya's neck and asked in a deep voice, "Where is Shishū Sen?"
Tatara was weak to begin with, so he didn't have the strength to answer after being choked like this. Painful tears kept falling from the corners of his eyes. The man seemed to have realized that he was about to kill him. He clicked his tongue and threw Tatara to the ground like trash.
The other Xiao Luo also realized that they had been fooled by the little boy in front of them. They were all furious and quickly surrounded him. The Xiao Luo who had spoken earlier stepped on Tatara's chest and exerted a little force, threatening, "Speak up if you don't want to die!"
"Cough cough cough cough! I, I don't know … "Tatara couldn't breathe properly and coughed violently as if he was about to cough out his organs.
Hearing this, the man violently kicked Tatara and fiercely questioned, "Kid, don't play dumb! Tell me where Tokugawa Sen is, or I'll kill you! "
"Don't … know …"
The weak teenager's voice was filled with pain, and his consciousness was not clear. However, he kept reminding himself in his heart that he couldn't tell the other party where Tokugawa Sen was … even though he didn't know where he was.
Following his denial, numerous punches and kicks fell on him.
Tatara's whole body was in pain, and he felt as if he was being dismantled and reassembled. He struggled to gather the windbreaker that the Xiao Luo had casually thrown away, but his vision was getting blurry … He still hadn't brought the windbreaker back, what should he do? If he died, would that man who only knew how to gamble cry?
Punches and kicks kept falling on his body, and the interrogation of those people by his ears was getting further and further away. While he was in a daze, a loud bang, accompanied by a clear female voice, suddenly woke him up from his muddled head.
"Hey, what are a few grown men doing to a little kid?!!
…
Ten minutes ago.
In the time it took for Reiko to get lost in her thoughts, the scenery in front of her changed.
The dirty and messy alley replaced the clean courtyard, and the dark night replaced the sunny day.
Reiko's face was still filled with shock from seeing the knife become a spirit with her own eyes. Suddenly, her expression changed and she was stunned for a while before regaining her senses.
In her backpack, the moment she landed on the ground, the Jinjiang AI started beeping, which meant that the target spirit was nearby.
However, Reiko wasn't in the mood to focus on the mission, and her mind was filled with the thought of the knife spirit that suddenly turned into a human.
What was going on?
She couldn't find the Fu Mourning God no matter how hard she tried. Could it be that he had always been right under her nose? The knives in those rooms … could all turn into humans? Wait, if that's the case …
Reiko lowered her head and looked at the Tai Dao in her hand.
She took the Tai Dao in front of her and carefully examined it, but no matter how she looked at it … it was obviously an ordinary … no, it was a gorgeous Tai Dao!
"Can you also turn into a human?" Reiko asked with uncertainty.
The Tai Dao didn't respond.
Reiko frowned and carefully unsheathed the knife. The cold air immediately filled the surroundings, but no matter how Reiko looked at it, it was just a brilliant and exceptional Tai Dao.
"Lord of One Stage One Shock?" Reiko called out softly.
The Tai Dao still didn't move.
"Illusion? Illusion? " Reiko frowned deeply, and the movement in her backpack was getting smaller and smaller. Reiko had no choice but to temporarily put the matter of the knife spirit aside and take out the Jinjiang AI.
On the screen, a red dot was moving in a certain direction, and it didn't seem to be too far away.
Reiko looked at the AI, and then at the Tai Dao in her hand. She decided to get down to business first.
At this moment, Reiko realized that the environment she was in wasn't very good. The alley was littered with litter, and even the air was stale. A rotten smell lingered in the air. < cop >
Reiko frowned. The streets in Japan were always clean and tidy. Even the countryside wouldn't have such a messy street.
Looking around, all the buildings were old. Even the walls of the alley were dilapidated. There were holes everywhere, and messy graffiti.
Didn't they say that this place was similar to their world? It was clearly much different! Reiko felt that she had been tricked by that cunning little fox again.
In the faraway Government of the Hour, Fox's Assistance, who was eating the cherry blossom cake he brought back from Reiko's place, sneezed. The cherry blossom cake exploded out of his mouth, and he was immediately despised by the colleagues beside him.
On the other side, Reiko held the AI, found the right direction, and started running.
In the darkness, the naked eye could only see a white afterimage. Reiko moved towards the red dot at a speed that was definitely faster than a world champion.
As she ran, Reiko was a little surprised. She clearly felt that her strength had increased again, and it was much greater than the strength she gained after contracting the Five Tigers Retreat. Involuntarily, the moonlight-like youth appeared in her mind. Then, she thought of the Five Tigers Retreat, who covered his face and didn't dare to look at her. Reiko pursed her lips and thought that she must find out when she went back.
Shuttling through the crisscrossing dirty alleys, suddenly, there was a clamor in front of her. When she got closer, she heard that it was cursing.
She just came here and didn't know anything. Reiko didn't want to poke her nose into other people's business. Her footsteps didn't stop, and she was about to leave from the side path.
"Little bastard, if you don't tell me, I'll beat you to death!"
The angry scolding made Reiko couldn't help but turn around, and it was this glance that made her immediately stop.
A few burly men surrounded the corner. Fortunately, Reiko's night vision was good. She could see the figure on the ground through the gaps between these burly men.
She originally thought that it was a fight between hooligans looking for trouble, but the small curled up figure on the ground was clearly a child. Under the starlight, chestnut-colored hair covered half of the child's face. The half-closed eyes looked calm and lifeless, but in Reiko's eyes, there was an incomparable brilliance.
Reiko didn't know what was going on, but her heart suddenly hurt like it was being pricked by needles. There was a voice in her heart that kept urging her to stop these people from hurting the child.
So, when one of the Little Luo cursed and was about to kick the child again, she turned around and quickly blocked in front of the child. She kicked the other party's outstretched leg.
The angry scolding stopped abruptly. The sound of bones breaking and the man falling to the ground screaming was especially clear in the empty alleyway.
Reiko narrowed her eyes and looked at the men. Her tone was very unfriendly. "Hey, what are a bunch of grown men doing to a child?!!"
Obviously, this explanation was much more detailed than that of the handsome, expressionless, aloof, Hell's number one assistant, Lord Guan. At least Reiko understood the ins and outs of the matter, and also had a general idea of the direction of her work.
"According to the experience of the Divine Inquisitors, the danger of those souls is different, so you can act at your own discretion. If you encounter any difficulties, you must inform Hell and the Government of the Hour to ask for help. You don't have to take risks alone. In the past, there were Divine Inquisitors who took risks alone and were injured or even killed. You must pay attention to your own safety."
Reiko looked at Fox's Assistance, who was leading the way and introducing all kinds of information to her. Her eyes softened. Sure enough, compared to humans, monsters were much cuter. (Assistant Lord Guan expressed his disdain and used an acre of rare snapdragon grass to launch a sound wave attack at you.)
What's more, it was a little guy with an adorable appearance.
Fox's Assistance, who was sent to her by the Government of the Hour, was very cute. It looked much smaller than the average fox. It was round and furry, and the inside of its ears and limbs were red. There was a bright demon pattern on its forehead, and there was a big golden bell with a red string around its neck. When it walked, it would make a "ding ding dang dang" sound. Its fluffy tail hung behind its butt. This festive appearance didn't look like a fox, but more like a familiar one …
"Maneki-Neko?"
"Eh?" The little fox, who was leading the way in front, heard the sound and turned to look at the new Divine Inquisitor with slight confusion.
Reiko looked away, put her restless hands behind her back, and pretended that she didn't say anything. "Nothing."
Fox's Assistance tilted its head in confusion. Its cute appearance made Reiko sigh that Maneki-Neko was indeed the God of Cuteness. (In a distant place, Maneki-Neko Kitty-Sensei Madara sneezed.)
Fox's Assistance didn't notice her expression. When it saw the building in the distance, it excitedly wagged its tail at Reiko and said, "Lord Xia Mu, This Pill is in front."
"Oh …" Reiko shook her head, shaking off another figure that appeared in her mind. When she saw the outline of the building, she raised her eyebrows and stopped. The long wooden stick in her hand poked into the weeds, and she said meaningfully, "Fox's Assistance … Why do I feel like I've been fooled by you?"
Fox's Assistance was suddenly shocked. The fur on its tail stood up, and the red mark on its forehead was bright and dazzling. It tried to make a perfunctory laugh. "My Lord, how could that be? You must be joking."
Reiko looked around again. Along the way, it was desolate. The crops in the fields had long withered and couldn't be seen in their original state. The weeds were knee-high and covered the road under their feet. If they were careless, they would step on the rocks and pits below. Even the sky was gray, making people feel desolate … desolate from the bottom of their hearts.
Reiko clicked her tongue lightly. Her long eyelashes drooped, and her amber eyes stared at Fox's Assistance. "This is what you meant by a hundred acres of fertile land, convenient transportation … Let's not talk about the beautiful men surrounding it first. This is …" She glanced at the eerie old mansion in the distance that looked like it could be filmed in a horror movie. "A luxurious villa?"
Knowing that it couldn't escape, Fox's Assistance quickly turned around and tried to act cute in front of her with a pitiful look. "Lord Xia Mu, This Pill hasn't been taken over by the God's Inquisitors for a while, so it looks a little abandoned. But I promise that as long as my Lord successfully signs a contract with the Fu Mourning God, it will soon be restored to its original state. This place used to be really beautiful … "Fox's Assistance's words had a trace of regret in them.
Reiko saw the sadness in its eyes. She paused for a moment, stroked the loose strands of hair in front of her, and walked past Fox's Assistance with her long legs and continued to walk forward.
"Let's go."
"Huh?" Fox's Assistance looked up blankly, but only saw her thin and weak back.
"Aren't you leaving?"
A cold voice floated over. Fox's Assistance looked into her eyes and realized that there was a subtle gentleness hidden in those cold amber eyes.
Fox's Assistance smiled. He happily chased after her and began to recommend This Pill again.
"This Pill contains all the Fu Mourning God that have been trained to the maximum level. When you go to the modern world to complete a mission, it will definitely be of great help. Oh, right, the first mission will only be arranged after Jinjiang AI sends it over in a week. During this time, please communicate with the Fu Mourning God! " Fox's Assistance played a little trick and secretly hid the matter of the contract. He was afraid that she would be angry if he mentioned it now. However, he felt that a strong and gentle adult like her would definitely be recognized by the Fu Mourning God very soon.
Reiko glanced at it. She could tell that it was hiding something. She thought that it was afraid that she would be angry, so she didn't ask further. However, she had a question. "Here … I mean This Pill. Where's the previous God's Inquisitor?"
"Uh …" Fox's Assistance, who was originally quite happy, was stunned again. He felt guilty and didn't dare to look at her. "You know that we have a lot of rules. We can't reveal anything about the previous God's Inquisitor … But, there are exceptions!" Seeing her faint smile, Fox's Assistance was stunned. Then, it changed the topic and took out a document from somewhere and handed it to her in a flattering manner.
Actually, when it said that it couldn't reveal anything, Reiko already didn't want to ask anymore. Who knew that Fox's Assistance would be so … incompetent. Reiko laughed and rubbed its head before taking the document. Sure enough, monsters were cuter.
The document introduced the previous God's Inquisitor in detail. The girl in the photo had a gentle smile and was very young. It was obvious that she wasn't the same type as Reiko. Moreover, she was the God's Inquisitor that the Government of the Hour hired from the modern world ten years ago. When she saw the reason why she left and the information about the Fu Mourning God, Reiko frowned and finally sighed.
One of the Eight Hardships of Life — Parting with Love. Not many people could escape from it. How painful it must be for those who were left behind?
When she was reading the document, Fox's Assistance secretly observed her expression. It wasn't that it didn't have a position, but the higher-ups said that if she asked about the previous God's Inquisitor, it, the previous Fox's Assistance of This Pill, could consider and tell her.
Seeing her frown and sigh, it thought that its judgment couldn't be wrong.
"Okay, I got it." After going through all the documents, Reiko handed the document marked "Top Secret" back to Fox's Assistance. Thinking of the rules it just mentioned, she asked casually, "Won't you be punished for showing me these documents?"
Fox's Assistance immediately broke into a smile. "Are you worried about me, Master? It's okay! "
Seeing that it didn't seem to be lying, Reiko was relieved.
The human and fox soon arrived at the building that she thought was a haunted house. It was a quaint Japanese-style building with two unlit red lanterns hanging under the eaves of the corridor … Hmm, it looked more like a haunted house up close.
The original Fu Mourning God of This Pill was still there. Her good upbringing allowed Reiko to knock on the door first. However, after knocking for a while, no one came to open the door, nor did anyone answer. She took a closer look at the door and the surroundings. There was a thick layer of dust. Other than her own footprints, there were no other traces.
"Strange …" Reiko frowned in confusion. Just now, Fox's Assistance clearly said that This Pill had seventy-nine men with maxed out swords and sabers … Why didn't anyone answer?
"Fox's Assistance, what's … going on …" Reiko turned around, but Fox's Assistance was nowhere to be seen. In its place was a cloth bag and a letter.
Reiko suddenly remembered Fox's Assistance's cowardly and flattering appearance. She clicked her tongue and opened the cloth bag. It was full of paper that looked like money … Oh, it mentioned before that this should be the common currency here.
Reiko thought of the house of ten thousand that she had passed by earlier. She casually stuffed the money into her clothes. She should thank the little fox. At least it didn't cheat her when it came to money.
The letter only mentioned one thing. Before the mission was given, she had to try her best to sign a contract with at least one sword-wielding man. As for how to sign the contract … it didn't say anything.
She wanted to take back her praise of Fox's Assistance. How was it cute? It was clearly a cowardly little rascal!
Reiko impatiently threw away the dry and fragile branch in her hand. She found a sturdy wooden stick and held it in her hand. She looked at the door in front of her with an unfriendly gaze.
Since Fox's Assistance had fled at the last moment, her trust in it had dropped to the lowest point. Previously, when it introduced this place to her, she didn't believe any of the nonsense that it said about "peace and tranquility" and "Fu Mourning God are handsome and kind men".
