Chapter 829: 500, Fire Rune
“Big brother, did you defeat all the enemies?” Jinguji Maki asked, the little girl had closed her eyes from the beginning. Qing Chen didn’t let her see any bloodshed.
“Yes, all defeated.”
The little girl recalled everything that happened tonight.
First, a group of people burst into her onsen inn, trying to take her away. Her grandmother struggled to get up to save her but was pushed to the ground.
Then, those people seed like monsters, and no one could do anything to stop them.
At that mont, the little girl had already despaired; she thought no one could save her.
But when Qing Chen appeared, everything changed. This big brother just gently asked her to close her eyes, and then all those arrogant mbers of the mysterious division turned to dust.
No fierce battle, no tortuous process. Unlike how Ultraman always has to struggle to defeat monsters, it was as if a snap of the fingers and the enemies were all gone.
It was like the mythical stories perford every year in the Shirakawa Village Shinto Temple, where gods residing in the Takamagahara Divine Nation intervene.
“Big brother, are you a god living in Takamagahara?” Jinguji Maki asked.
Qing Chen thought for a mont and honestly replied, “No, if I had the chance, I might destroy your ‘Amaterasu Omikami’ in Takamagahara.”
Jinguji Maki opened her mouth but couldn’t say anything for a long ti…
Amaterasu Omikami, the legendary ruling god of Takamagahara, the god of the sun.
“Just kidding,” Qing Chen said.
Jinguji Maki: “Huh?”
Qing Chen: “If I really had the chance, how could I only destroy Amaterasu Omikami? I’d destroy them all.”
Jinguji Maki: “…”
Qing Chen looked at the flas rising in the distance from Shirakawa Village, and calmly said, “Xiao Zhenji, those who ca to capture you are the ones who consider themselves gods. In my view, they have no reason to continue existing.”
Ever since the mysterious division was created, they have always linked themselves with Takamagahara, implying that they are the ssengers of the gods, even promoting certain chosen ones as reincarnations of gods.
This move has also attracted countless Shintoism believers.
Jinguji Maki thought for a mont and said, “Big brother must hate all the bad guys, right?”
The two returned to Shirakawa Village. The little girl cried for a long ti over her grandmother’s body, her voice becoming hoarse.
Although Qing Chen had to leave quickly, he did not stop her because that was the little girl’s only relative.
After an unknown amount of ti, Jinguji Maki got up and wiped her tears. She did not plead with Qing Chen but went to find a match and set the onsen inn on fire.
This was the onsen inn that her grandmother had run all her life. Now that her grandmother was gone, let the onsen inn accompany her.
Qing Chen watched Jinguji Maki. He suddenly noticed that after personally setting fire to the onsen inn, the little girl gradually cald down.
For a mont, it was like he was looking at himself as a child.
That day when his parents divorced, he made up his mind to tell his mother that he wanted to continue living with his father, just like this.
Qing Chen’s heart moved.
He suddenly grabbed Jinguji Maki’s pulse, and Knight Vital Energy surged, the breathing technique swept through like flas.
Jinguji Maki looked up at Qing Chen in surprise: “Big brother, what’s happening? I feel a warm current in my arm, flowing into my heart.”
The girl’s eyes were as clear and vibrant as the autumn water of Jiuzhaigou.
This ti it was Qing Chen’s turn to be surprised because, under the light of the burning onsen inn, fire runes unmistakably blood on the girl’s face, the hallmark of the Knight’s Breathing Technique.
But the problem was, the girl had not gone through the heart-seeking stage.
The girl had not felt any pain at all.
Or rather, her pure heart allowed her to easily pass the heart-seeking threshold.
What’s more, the girl had never been to the Inner World and should still be bound by the Outer World’s rules, unable to beco a Transcendent!
What’s going on?
Qing Chen furrowed his brows, could he have co across a true chosen one?
Wait, or had he t an internal test player from the island country?
If the other party, like him, was sent to the Outer World before gaining mory, then it all made sense.
But Qing Chen couldn’t be sure if this guess was correct.
The biggest question was, if Jinguji Maki was an internal test player, why hadn’t she beco a Ti Traveler at the beginning of her crossing?
What went wrong here?
It was also possible that Jinguji Maki was not an internal test player; she just naturally had the ability to break the world’s rules.
“Let’s go.” Qing Chen picked up the mountain bike he had thrown on the roadside, slung it over his shoulder, and took the little girl’s hand, walking towards the snowy mountains.
“Big brother, where are we going now?” Jinguji Maki asked softly.
Qing Chen felt the little girl’s body trembling slightly in the cold.
He understood, it wasn’t because of the cold but because she had no one to rely on in this world, so she was scared from the bottom of her heart.
Previously, the little girl could still rely on her grandmother. Even if her grandmother lay in a hospital bed in a coma, her heart was not completely broken. She could hope that her grandmother would recover one day.
Now, her grandmother was gone, and this world had no more fairy tales.
Jinguji Maki was scared that Qing Chen would suddenly let go of her.
Qing Chen thought for a mont and said, “The place I’m going to is tough and dangerous. Are you willing to go?”
The little girl quickly nodded: “I am willing, I can wash clothes for big brother, and I will wash them very clean!”
Qing Chen shook his head: “No need to be so humble, wherever I go, you go.”
“Big brother, you are not from around here, are you?”
“Mm.”
“Is your hotown beautiful?”
“You can see for yourself.”
…
…
The people from the mysterious division arrived faster than expected.
They initially ca to Nakatsugawa City as a group of hundreds, then split into a dozen teams, heading to villages around Nakatsugawa City.
They agreed to regroup in Nakatsugawa City by 2 AM.
In the mysterious division’s plan, capturing potential Ti Travelers in the villages should be a very easy task; no accident should occur.
In the past, no accidents had ever occurred.
By 2 AM, the team heading to Shirakawa Village had yet to return, so the hundreds of them imdiately rushed over.
They found four off-road vehicles that had rolled down the mountain valley, with corpses inside.
The leader silently checked: “Seven people in total, seven shot to death, each required two to three shots to kill, their shooting skills don’t seem great.”
When Qing Chen killed, he deliberately took two to three shots to kill one person, to prevent the mysterious division from linking this action to the Joker who appeared in Osaka City.
It’s not the right ti yet.
At this mont, the leader suddenly found sothing strange. He rechecked all the injuries and said: “One of them was dead before he was shot three more tis.”
Speaking, he looked at the neck of the corpse. The cyan-purple bruises clearly had human hand print marks.
At first, he thought the neck injuries were caused by the fall from the cliff. Now it seems, this was the true fatal injury.
The leader touched it and gasped in amazent: “A hand chop broke the neck bone, how strong must that person be?!”
It’s known that the neck bone is one of the hardest bones in the human body. mbers of the mysterious division were all genetic warriors whose bones had been strengthened to so extent.
The ability to break a neck bone with a hand chop, what kind of monster is that?
The leader thought it over and said: “Could the person sought by Osaka City Hall have appeared here?”
“Probably not. Isn’t the characteristic given by Osaka City Hall that the person’s shooting skills are god-like?” a mber questioned, “Now Osaka City is on high alert. It’s said that two chosen ones have rushed from Tokyo and Kobe to assist. How could such a person co to this small place like Shirakawa Village after causing such a commotion in Osaka City?”
“Yeah, why co to Shirakawa Village? To ski?”
The leader thought for a mont: “The bodies didn’t include the three potential Ti Travelers, which ans the person who attacked must be related to one of them. It’s hard to say if it’s Joker, but I think we should report to Osaka City Hall imdiately and have them send reinforcents.”
“Huh? Do we need to alert Osaka City Hall?”
The leader glanced at the puzzled team mber: “Listen to , wait for reinforcents before we enter Shirakawa Village to investigate. This decision… might save your lives.”
…
Today, there’s only one update. After consulting with the doctor, it’s expected the swelling will go down in about seven days, and it won’t be as painful as it is now
