Chapter 25: Ming Shen Yong Yong 01
[Your prayers are being conveyed to the demons of Teyvat...]
The system process is the same as last time, except that the waiting time is slightly longer this time.
Hoshino Motoko was calm about this. There were thousands of believers praying, and there was no reason for the devil to respond to a person from another world like him - not to mention that he was not actually a believer, so even if he failed, it was normal.
The system was actually more nervous than he was. After more than ten seconds, it finally breathed a sigh of relief.
[Congratulations, host. The Thunder God Baalzebub has responded to your prayers and agreed to lend his body to you! ]
"Is it you who wanted to see me?" A steady and elegant female voice suddenly appeared in his mind, and the God of Thunder said slowly, "I understand your wish."
"It is not easy for a mortal to complete such a demanding task. This body is the most noble and noble body in the world, controlling thousands of thunders. Now I allow you to borrow my power."
The demon god's speaking style is completely different from Wendy's. Xingye thought that it sounds very consistent with people's imagination of gods.
He thanked her politely.
"No need to be polite. I admire your courage. However, I need to make one thing clear to you - I have long since abandoned my physical body."
Xingye Wang was stunned and didn't understand what Lei Shen meant.
"A long time ago, in order to resist the wear and tear of time, I created a puppet to walk the world for me. What I lend you now is also my puppet body. Don't worry, General Raiden also possesses the power of the demon god, you can rely on her power without worry."
Hoshino Nozomi nodded.
"Well, I look forward to your performance in the future."
Having said that, Thor withdrew his consciousness and the system began to create a character card.
[As a condition of borrowing, the host needs to play the role of Thor and must not do anything that violates the image of Thor. The information about Thor Baalzebub has been sent to the host.]
[Creating character card...]
[Host, please roll the dice to determine the character's attributes. ]
[Created successfully, equipped with character card: Balzeb/Thunder Movie (Thor). 】
Name: Barzeb/Ray Movie
Gender: Female
Identity: Thor
Strength: 85 (There is nothing you can't solve with one blow, if there is, please cut twice)
Physical fitness: 90 (Since it is a doll, there are no physiological problems, and even parts can be replaced - such as after tooth decay)
Agility: 65 (You can easily catch the flying insects in front of you)
Appearance: 90 (You are undeniably beautiful)
Intelligence/Inspiration: 70 (You are a bit stubborn, but not stupid)
Willpower: 10 (You have an uncontrollable dual personality. When the battle round ends, you will undergo a will assessment. If the assessment fails, you will switch to your second personality "Raiden Shin")
Education:--(This is a question worth pondering)
Luck: 60 (average)
Special Skills:
[Doll Manufacturing: 80][One Heart Pure Land: 85][Attraction: 90][Detection: 55]...
Xing Yewang never had any hope for his luck. He looked at his willpower which was only 10 points and asked, "Double personality?"
[You also need to follow the rules to play. The information about Lord Baer, that is, Lord Raiden Shin, has also been sent to you. ]
Hoshino Nozomi started browsing the data.
Raiden Shin and Raiden Ying are a pair of twin demon gods. Initially, Shin was the God of Thunder, but because Shin was weak in martial arts, Ying served as the shadow warrior's assistant sister. It was not until a disaster took Raiden Shin's life that Ying took over the throne, became the God of Thunder, and was in charge of Inazuma.
Afterwards, in order to resist the damage brought by time - the wear and tear that the Thunder God just mentioned, Shadow abandoned his flesh/body and escaped into the spiritual space [One Heart Pure Land] that was opened up, and the puppet Thunder General took over the management of Inazuma.
"I understand." Hoshino Nozomi closed the data.
It's just one more role.
Although the data says "weak in strength", the weakness of a demon god is by no means the same as the weakness of an ordinary person, so there is no need to worry too much.
Hoshino Nozomi stood up, the sleeves of her kimono slid down, and her long dark purple hair was tied into a pigtail. The ends of her hair were the same color as the God of Wind, gradually becoming lighter in color.
Even though it's a doll, he's still not used to it.
System: [In fact, Lord Barzeb also created a puppet with a male appearance. That Lord became the God of Righteousness at some point in time. To be honest, I have also tried to contact him.]
Hoshino Momo said "hmm", and guessed from the tone of the system that the result might not be very good.
[The result... Alas,] the system looked as if it was overwhelmed by the past and a little aggrieved, [That adult was a little... uh... arrogant and unruly.]
I guess I got scolded. Hoshino Nozomi didn't expose the system.
The new character card was ready. Hoshino Wang opened the task panel. The moment the translucent light screen popped up, his fingers paused.
[Side Mission 5: Find Shibuzawa Ryuhiko and retrieve the remaining pages of forbidden knowledge (unfinished)]
But he clearly remembered that one second before the Fengshen projection disappeared, the system prompted him that "recovery was successful" and the recovery progress of the forbidden knowledge had reached 30%.
System: [I successfully recovered the forbidden knowledge from Shibuzawa Ryuhiko, but the remaining pages are not in his hands.]
The remaining pages were taken away by someone. Hoshino Mo could only think of this possibility.
"Check your memory."
The memories that were recorded by the system at that time immediately appeared in front of Xingye Wang.
In my memory, there is a scene where Ryuhiko Shibuzawa picked up the remaining pages, surrounded by dazzling yellow sand under the sunlight. The mosaiced remaining pages were blown into Ryuhiko Shibuzawa's hands by the wind.
Then, the scene changed.
In a room somewhere, Shibuzawa Ryuhiko casually threw this torn page to the young man opposite him.
The young man had a delicate face and exuded a mysterious and elegant temperament, but his face was too pale, and there was a faint dark blue under his eyes. He was as sickly as Hoshino Nozomi himself - at least on the surface.
He took the remaining page and asked in a surprised tone: "Will you give it to me?"
Shibuzawa Ryuhiko said casually, "Of course, consider it as a reward for this intelligence."
"Well, I wish you success in getting the white tiger." The young man smiled.
He stood up and left with the remaining pages and the book in his arms.
End of memories.
Xingye Wang frowned.
The contents of the remaining pages were blocked by mosaics, but the book was completely exposed to him. He thought the appearance of the book was a little unusual.
I'm not referring to the horror movie poster-like pattern on the cover, but the... material of the cover?
Hoshino, who has been hospitalized for many years, closed his eyes and said, "Human skin?"
System: […Yes, according to my database, I determined that the book was bound with human skin. The book has nothing to do with forbidden knowledge and is not a product of Teyvat, but an item from this world.]
Hoshino Nozomi said “hmm”.
The next itinerary is confirmed.
Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's supernatural life form has disappeared, and he needs to find the location of the young man in his memory.
Hoshino Nozomi left the safe house.
*
In a moving car.
Assistant Supervisor Ichichi was driving the car, preparing to take the three first-year students of Jujutsu High School to the mission location.
Zenin Maki sat on his left, tilting her head to look out the window at the scenery rapidly receding. Panda and Inumaki Saki sat in the back seat. The car was completely silent.
"By the way, have you heard it?" the panda suddenly spoke.
"What?" Zenin Maki replied.
"Recently, a very powerful sorcerer suddenly appeared. He was not from an aristocratic family, but he destroyed many cursed spirits. His strength is at least special level."
"Is it the boy from that day?"
"Wooden fish flower."
"No? Then who is it?" Zenin Maki closed her eyes, "Forget it, it doesn't matter who it is. Anyway, there is no way they can rush over to share our workload."
There were faint dark circles under her eyes, as if she was sleep deprived.
There are more and more cursed spirits in Tokyo.
There was already a shortage of sorcerers, and now even the students who were still studying in school had to work around the clock. Zenin Maki and others hadn't had a good rest for a week.
Cursed spirits are born from negative human emotions. As Japan's most prosperous and most populous city, Tokyo has always had more cursed spirits than other cities.
But the recent numbers are so large that they cannot be explained by common sense.
"That's what I said," Panda touched his head, "but I heard from Mr. Gojo that the principal seemed to be keeping an eye on the movements of the sorcerer, probably wanting her to stay and help."
If the sorcerer has no ill intentions, her joining can indeed ease the recent tense situation.
At least it can leave some time for the three students to have a good rest.
"So, the principal wants us to keep an eye out, too, right?"
“Salmon.”
"According to sorcerers who have seen her, she is a woman as noble as thunder and as beautiful as cherry blossoms."
“…Isn’t this description a bit exaggerated?”
"After all, the sorcerer was saved by her. It's normal to unconsciously use exaggerated words when describing a lifesaver."
Yijizhi suddenly spoke up: "You three, we're here."
The four people got out of the car and saw a courtyard overgrown with weeds. The walls of the villa inside were mottled, revealing red bricks and tiles, and covered with ivy, giving it a bleak look.
Combined with the current gloomy weather, it could be the scene of a horror movie.
Ichichi quickly set up the "account": "I wish you all good luck in fighting."
Zenin Maki stretched her back and said, "Let's go."
She picked up her naginata and walked into the villa first.
The figures of the three people quickly disappeared. Ijichi leaned against the car body, and couldn't help but worry about the physical condition of the three students.
However, the fact that sorcerers are scarce is an unchangeable fact.
As an assistant supervisor, he could obtain more information than the students, and naturally knew the strength of the sorcerer, which could not be simply summarized by the word "special grade".
No matter how tough the cursed spirit was, it couldn't withstand her blow. The battle was over in the blink of an eye.
She didn't even make any unnecessary movements - just drawing the sword, swinging it, and putting it away.
Of course, if it were only this level, Ijichi and other sorcerers would not have given her such a high evaluation.
What really changed their impression was a battle that took place in the mountains.
There are several mountains in the suburbs of Tokyo. The government funded the repair of roads a long time ago. However, one day, several cars driving along the winding mountain road suddenly disappeared. After investigation, the general office determined that there was a special cursed spirit there.
However, before they could decide who to send, the special cursed spirit disappeared.
The one who solved all of this was that female magician.
According to the sorcerer she saved, when she appeared, a huge purple eye appeared in the sky.
Then, an armored arm stretched out from the purple pupil, and with a speed that surpassed time and a force that could break through space, it swung towards the special cursed spirit.
The overwhelming energy made it almost impossible for the sorcerer to breathe.
After receiving the news, the top management immediately sent other sorcerers to the scene. The woman had disappeared, but the remains she left behind were so dark that the sorcerer in charge of the inspection almost thought he had been hit head-on by a very destructive spell.
Apart from Gojo Satoru, there is no other person in the world of sorcery who can achieve this level despite his disability.
The more Yijichi thought about it, the more frightened he became, and at the same time, a desire to become stronger arose in his heart.
If she could come——
"Back off."
A pleasant voice rang out, but it was also filled with an unquestionable majesty. Yijichi was startled and turned around abruptly. A woman suddenly appeared on the deserted street.
The pair of light purple eyes glanced at him, piercing Ichichi's chest like a sword, and the woman passed by him and walked towards the villa.
"You are... the sorcerer?"
The answer he got was the dull and hoarse sound of a door closing.
