Chapter 18 Chapter 18 Xiao Qi: "Everyone, don't buy stocks!" ...

18

Dark clouds rolled in and violent flashes of light flashed by.

Wooden boards and gravel flew everywhere. Geto Suguru raised his hand to block the wind coming from the pavement, struggling to resist the strong airflow.

Ieiri Shoko took a step back in embarrassment, but was pulled back by Gojo Satoru by the collar.

The wind blew his sunglasses, and Gojo Satoru opened his eyes wide, his white hair flying, and the scene in front of him was reflected in his crystal blue eyes.

"This is really terrible, just like the Raibochi Street in Yokohama."

Family member Glass frowned and held Gojo Satoru's shoulders to help him stand up.

The land sank, forming a bowl-shaped arc-shaped pit, and the surrounding trees were destroyed, forming a bare open space.

The ruins of the destroyed villa lay at the deepest part of the center, with faint golden light flashing from the layers of stacked stone slabs.

Gojo Satoru had a serious look on his face and said, "Oh no! Mingming and the singer are there."

Geto Suguru and Naoko Ieiri quickly ran forward, stood at the edge of the pit and shouted, "Mingming - Diva -"

"Are you still alive?"

Gojo Satoru shouted right after him.

The dark clouds gradually dispersed, and the sunlight shone through the clouds onto the earth, illuminating the deepest part of the circular pit.

Suddenly, a wooden board was lifted up, and the singer looked at Gojo Satoru angrily, "Hey, how could you say that——"

Beside him, Mingming stood up from the pile of wooden boards, brushed off the debris on his head, and smiled, "Still alive, and full of energy."

She looked at the singer and widened the smile on her lips.

Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru and Ieiri Shoko were stunned. Mingming and the singer standing below were wrapped in golden shields and had no wounds on their bodies.

"What happened?"

Geto Summer Oil murmured in confusion.

Gojo Satoru narrowed his eyes and pointed at the huge rocks that formed a triangle fifty meters behind Mingming and the singer.

"Jay, look over there."

Ieiri Glass groaned in thought, then noticed a shadow of someone in the cracks of the stone slabs. "Looks like there's someone there?"

Mingming and the singer turned around and looked behind them when they heard the sound.

Someone kicked the huge stone slab and it fell to the side, revealing a brown rectangular column to the eyes of several people.

The golden halo spread across the ground like endless ripples, and three people stood around the brown column.

Two of them were people that Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru, and Ieiri Shoko had met in the cafeteria and the parking lot outside the commercial street.

Golden sunlight enveloped them. The long-haired man in the lead had his brown hair fluttering at the ends, and his straight back supported his exquisite and intricate clothes, while the fluttering sleeves faintly flashed with a scaly luster.

The long-haired man lowered his hand and slowly turned around, a faint orange-gold light shimmering in the depths of his eyes.

He glanced lightly, his calm face filled with irresistible majesty.

With just such a simple action, Gojo Satoru, Meiming and others felt their limbs tighten and their knees tremble slightly.

Surrender.

This word popped up unconsciously in the minds of the sorcerers who were watching.

That man has an aura that makes people unconsciously submit, and he should not be underestimated.

"Wow, that's a surprise."

Gojo Satoru raised his eyebrows, cold sweat dripping down his forehead, and looked at Geto Suguru.

Geto Xia Yu snorted, clenched his five fingers into fists and tensed his nerves.

"Isn't that the cafeteria employee? The one who played a prank on Jay..."

Ieiri Shoko hesitated for a second, then noticed her companion's nervousness and spoke in a relaxed manner.

The silence was brewing. After two seconds, Xia Yujie's mouth twitched and he raised his hand to support his forehead. "Glass, there's no need to say this."

Perhaps it was because of what Ieiri Nozomi said, both Mingming and Gojo Satoru unconsciously relaxed their tense muscles a little.

They did not take any rash action, but stood there and watched the situation develop.

The powerful strange man was not a cursed spirit, and the power emitted by the rectangular column was not cursed power.

After hearing Li Xiaoqi's "experience", Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru had a vague guess in their minds.

The man in front might be from another world called Teyvat.

Unexpectedly, a box emerged from the ground and floated in front of Li Xiaoqi and Dazai Osamu.

The box was the size of a suitcase, with an arched lid, like a treasure chest in a Western fairy tale.

The treasure chest was silver-blue in color, and the gold edges inlaid on the box reflected a dazzling light in the sunlight. The red runes wrapped around it spread out and turned into a burst of golden light.

The lid opened automatically, and several colorful streams of light poured out, wrapping around Li Xiaoqi and Dazai Osamu.

Geto Suguru was slightly stunned and looked at the black-haired woman in front of him.

A look of delight came over her face, and her cheeks flushed with happiness.

The light colorful luster is reflected in the bright brown eyes, and the loose hair on the forehead is blown up by the wind, dancing playfully.

For some reason, Xia Youjie felt that the smile on Li Xiaoqi's face was quite nice.

Suddenly, Li Xiaoqi's figure was blocked.

He lowered his eyes and looked away hastily.

Dazai Osamu looked at Li Xiaoqi beside him, with a bright smile engraved in his eyes, and suddenly he felt a lot more comfortable.

Bright spots of light surrounded her face, making the smile on her lips even brighter.

He noticed Xia Youjie's gaze and quietly blocked Li Xiaoqi's way.

Li Xiaoqi was very happy to open the treasure chest. She was looking forward to what was inside. She didn't know whose eyes were on her, nor did she pay attention to the infatuated comments at the moment.

Lord Zhongli is so handsome—a real-life Tianxing! His killing power is amazing!

[This turn of events of the Rock King! Ahhhh, I am lost.]

[Xiao Qi is so full of energy when she smiles. She is so pretty. I cried to death.]

[Is Jie staring at Xiao Qi? Xiao Qi looks so beautiful surrounded by light. I love her!]

[Ohhhh, finally someone noticed! Qiqi's wife~]

[Jae is blocking Jay's sight. My eyes are the ruler.]

[The market has opened. Dazai and Getu stocks are available. Please buy stocks rationally. —]

[Is my brother Li not worthy of being in the stock market? ]

So, when the barrage of comments started to urge people to buy stocks, a series of prompt sounds rang out from the system.

"Congratulations to the host for receiving 160 gold coins, 1 Two-faced Sukuna Finger, 1 Key to Somewhere, 2 Edgeless Swords, and 1 Special Summon Ticket Fragment."

"Collect seven Special Summon Ticket fragments to obtain a Special Summon Ticket, which can summon any character to help the streamer solve the problem."

Hiss, the rewards given by the system are pretty good. Not only can you get a prize by opening a gorgeous treasure chest, but the special summon ticket seems to be very useful.

Wait...whose finger?!

The expression on Li Xiaoqi's face froze for a moment. He opened the backpack interface and saw that there was indeed a red and black finger wrapped in talisman paper lying in each grid.

Hello!

Why is this hot potato a reward?

In an instant, the joyful mood disappeared without a trace. Li Xiaoqi could imagine the days of being hunted by Brain Flower in the future, and his head drooped instantly.

Dazai Osamu patted Li Xiaoqi's head and said, "Why do you suddenly feel lost?"

Li Xiaoqi frantically grabbed Dazai Osamu's shoulders and shook them. Considering the presence of the sorcerers like Gojo Satoru, he deliberately lowered his voice: "There are things in the treasure chest that will endanger your life!"

"Huh?"

Dazai Osamu widened his eyes slightly and looked at the live broadcast interface.

In the barrage, someone explained the legend of Ryomen Sukuna, the origin of the finger, and a series of events that followed because of the finger.

With the speed of modern netizens, Dazai Osamu knew this information at an extremely fast speed.

Dazai Osamu raised his eyebrows and said, "Well..."

Li Xiaoqi nodded repeatedly, looking at the live broadcast interface with tears in his eyes, where some comments about buying stocks were floating by.

Her eyes widened in horror and she shook her head frantically.

"No way, no way, everyone, don't buy stocks! I'm fine being alone, really—"

She spoke very quietly because she was afraid of being heard.

The audience in the live broadcast room burst into laughter and sent comments to comfort Li Xiaoqi, saying that it was just a joke.

"puff."

Zhongli laughed out loud.

Li Xiaoqi and Dazai Osamu looked over and blinked together.

Zhongli paused, then couldn't help laughing, "Sorry, I didn't mean it."

On the other side, Ieiri Shoko walked up to the singer and was hugged by her while she listened to her complaints.

Mingming walked to Gojo Satoru's side and looked at Li Xiaoqi, Dazai Osamu and Zhongli in an inquiring manner.

"To have powers other than spells is shocking news in the world of spells."

Gojo Satoru shrugged disapprovingly and said, "As long as you and the singer don't tell anyone, no one in the curse world will know."

Mingming's eyes flashed with surprise, and his brows raised slightly, "Are you protecting them? Could they be people from the Tokyo school?"

Gojo Satoru put his hands behind his head and looked at Mingming, "Yes, and... hehe, just watch, that man is very strong, so strong that all of us here will be killed in an instant, including me."

"But, he possessed such destructive power, yet he also protected you, strangers. If he hadn't considered your safety, you would have been destroyed by that meteorite-like thing—"

He made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"It can be seen that the man is not a villain."

Mingming closed his eyes and chuckled, saying, "I understand. I won't tell anyone. If this causes a stir in the world of curses, it won't benefit me."

"The singer won't tell you either."

After she finished speaking, she called the singer to leave together.

The singer looked surprised, but after seeing Mingming's gaze, she didn't know what to say.

Under the gaze of Ieiri Nozomi, the singer left with Mingming.

Without the people from Kyoto Jujutsu High School, the only ones left were sorcerers who knew about Li Xiaoqi and Dazai Osamu's situation.

Ieiri Shoko looked at Li Xiaoqi and Dazai Osamu curiously. She had heard their story from her friends yesterday.

Although she thought Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru were joking at first, seeing their serious expressions, she finally reluctantly believed the absurd story.

After seeing all this, Glass finally realized that the world of Teyvat is real.

Finally, she set her sights on Zhongli.

"Yeah, pretty handsome."

Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru slipped and looked at Ieiri Shoko in surprise.

"ah?"

"Glass, you?"

Zhongli looked over and nodded politely, "Thank you for the compliment. Appearance is just superficial. The beauty of the soul is the real beauty."

"Miss and the two gentlemen, I can see that you are all kind people. When something like this happened that caused you trouble, not only did you not blame others, but you also kept the matter of Miss Xiaoqi and Mr. Dazai secret from others. This was all for their safety."

"It can be seen that you are beautiful people with noble souls."

Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru, and their family member Nozomi were not expecting such praise and all felt embarrassed.

Li Xiaoqi was listening at the side and thought it was very professional.

Zhongli, ah Zhongli, you are worthy of being called a master of polite words.

"Ahem."

Xia Yujie came back to his senses, coughed twice, and walked forward.

"Can you explain to us what's going on?"
