Chapter 414 Still Can’t Be Done
At this time, Aize didn't know that the troublesome person mentioned by Nangong Nayue before had already quietly arrived at Xianshen Island.
However, even if he knew, he probably wouldn't do anything special. At the moment, he has no intention to take the initiative to contact these people, even though he has already anticipated that it is only a matter of time before he comes into contact with these people.
Since he had already decided to spend this time in the fantasy world in a relaxed manner, Aize would naturally not let his heartstrings be tense. Instead, he wanted to enjoy more and have more fun.
So, when the luxury cruise ship named Deep Ocean Grave arrived at the port of Gengami Island, he had just fallen asleep, ending his life of staying up late.
Yes, Aize stayed up late last night.
After having dinner at Xiao's house, Aize returned home and hid in the computer room, where he played games all night long.
When it was almost dawn, Aize returned to his bedroom, lay down on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.
As a result, before he had fallen asleep for long, the doorbell of his house rang.
"It's daybreak?"
Aize sat up from the bed, looking at the dim sky outside the window, and felt as if he had just had a false sleep.
"Didn't I just lie down?"
Scratching his messy hair, Aize finally got up, walked to the entrance and opened the door.
"Good morning, Ai-kun!"
Outside the door, Nagisa Akatsuki greeted Aize with a full of energy, a smile on her face and a bag of breakfast in her hand.
"Morning, Nagisa."
In contrast to the energetic Nagisa Akatsuki, Aize spoke weakly, causing Nagisa Akatsuki to open her eyes slightly.
"Why do you look so tired, Ai-kun?" Nagisa Xiao was a little surprised at first, but then she puffed up her cheeks and said, "You didn't stay up late last night, did you? Let me see your face!"
Xiao Nagisa grabbed Aize's hand and stared at him with her big round eyes, as if she wanted to find dark circles under Aize's eyelids.
But as soon as the girl moved her face closer, she was hit on the forehead.
"Don't get so close suddenly. If Gu Cheng sees us, it will be a never-ending mess."
Aize said this unhappily, causing Nagisa Akatsuki, who was covering her forehead, to also show dissatisfaction.
"Gu Chengjun hasn't gotten up yet. It's really annoying. Every day I have to ask my sister to wake him up, but he doesn't want to get up. If he's late and gets scolded by Teacher Nangong, I won't take care of him." Xiao Nagisa was like a worried old mother. While scolding her brother, she said to Aize earnestly, "Aijun, don't learn from Gu Chengjun. Staying up late is not good for your spirit or your body. My mother often stays up late. Not long ago, she complained to me that her skin condition has declined several levels..."
Seeing that the girl was about to start chattering, Aize resisted the urge to yawn and quickly interrupted her.
"Come in first, Nagisa. Don't stand at the door. Just wait for me for a while."
Having said that, Aize welcomed Nagisa Akane into the living room, then went to wash up alone.
"I'll go check on the cats. Ai-kun, I've put breakfast on the table for you, remember to eat it!" Nagisa's voice came from behind, "By the way, can I turn on the TV to watch the news? I mainly want to check the weather forecast so it doesn't rain suddenly like yesterday and I get soaked again."
"It's okay, just take your time." Aize's voice came from the bathroom, saying, "Do whatever you want, no need to ask for my opinion."
Hearing this, Nagisa Akatsuki put down her breakfast first, then ran to the cat room to see the cat.
When Aize finished washing up, changed into his uniform and walked out of the bedroom, Nagisa Akatsuki was sitting on the sofa, holding a sleepy cat in her arms, watching the news attentively.
Aize was about to speak, but was attracted by the content of the news.
"Yesterday, a monk from the Western European Church suddenly launched a terrorist attack on the Cornerstone Gate. Even in the face of obstruction from the Special Zone Guard, he still broke through many checkpoints and reached the bottom of the Cornerstone Gate, almost causing irreparable damage."
"According to investigation, the monk is an armed demon exorcist, a high-level clergyman, and also an annihilator. His mission is to annihilate the demons. He is the natural enemy of the demons and is regarded as a hero by the believers of the Western European Church."
"At present, the reason why the other party attacked the Cornerstone Gate is still under investigation..."
Hearing the news, Aize raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Terrorist attack?"
His whisper was heard by Nagisa Akatsuki who was watching the news attentively.
"I didn't expect such a big thing to happen yesterday. It's unbelievable." Nagisa Akatsuki looked frightened and said, "And the attack was on the Cornerstone Gate. If the attack succeeded, wouldn't we all be in danger?"
The so-called Cornerstone Gate refers to a huge building located in the center of Genkamijima, built at the junction of the four super-large floating structures that make up this artificial island, and serving as the base of the island.
This building is the tallest building on the island. Its appearance is like an inverted pyramid. Inside, there are state buildings such as the City Hall, as well as many hotels and commercial institutions. It is the first fashion center on the island.
The Cornerstone Gate is divided into twelve floors above ground and forty floors underground.
Among them, the 40 floors located underground not only go deep into the seabed, but also serve as the management facility of the artificial island. This building with a diameter of less than two kilometers serves as a connecting part, connecting the four super-large floating structures of Genkami Island together.
The distortion, vibration, and shaking of Genkami Island caused by the ocean currents or wind and waves are all absorbed and cushioned by the Cornerstone Gate. Without this part operating, the four areas of Genkami Island would collide and then disintegrate.
Therefore, the Cornerstone Gate is not only the iconic building of Gengami Island and the landmark of Gengami City, but also the foundation of the existence of this artificial island. Once a problem occurs, it may lead to the crisis of disintegration of the entire Gengami Island.
Thanks to this, the Cornerstone Gate is highly valued by the artificial island management commune and is a key defensive location. There are usually nearly 150 guards stationed there. Each guard is equipped with the latest armed equipment and is capable of stopping powerful vampires even if they encounter them.
However, according to the news, the terrorists from the Western European Church broke through the guards' defense line in one go, penetrated deep into the bottom of the Cornerstone Gate, and finally reached the bottom layer 220 meters below the sea surface, touching the cornerstone of the artificial island.
If the other party did anything to the cornerstone, Genshin Island might be destroyed.
Under such circumstances, it is no wonder that Akatsuki Nagisa looks so frightened.
"The armed demon-repellent of the Western European Church..."
Aize muttered to himself.
He vaguely remembered that there was indeed such a person in the original work. He was a villain who appeared at the beginning of the plot and was eventually defeated by Akatsuki Kojou. He became a stepping stone for Akatsuki Kojou to awaken his first familiar.
Unfortunately, Aize is not as warm-hearted as Akatsuki Kojou, and he has never met the other party, so he naturally did not participate in this incident and become a shadow hero to save Genkami Island.
"So, isn't it just a terrorist from a foreign country? Even if the protagonist doesn't stand up and fight him to the death, what does it matter? It still won't work!"
How could such an important place as the Cornerstone Gate be invaded by a mere terrorist?
Even if they succeeded in invading, how could they say it was destroyed?
If a true ancestor-level vampire came, that would be a different matter. But he is just a so-called priest who popped out from some unknown corner. Do you really think that Genshin Island is a small place where anyone can bully you?
The original novel made it seem as if Genkami Island would be doomed if the protagonist did not take action. However, it turned out that even if the protagonist did not step forward, Genkami Island was still not a place that could be ravaged by anyone.
"Ah, Ai-kun, look!" Nagisa Xiao suddenly exclaimed, pointing at the photo on the TV, and said, "Isn't this your and Kojo-kun's homeroom teacher, the lovely Nangong teacher?"
Aize was immediately attracted by Nagisa's words. He turned around and looked, then the corners of his mouth twitched.
According to the news reports, the person who stopped the teacher at the bottom of the Cornerstone Gate last night was the instructor of the Special Zone Guard, the high school English teacher of the private Caihai Academy and the national magic attack officer - Nangong Nayue.
"Well, it turns out that you stole the protagonist's role, Yue-chan."
Aize complained, but also felt that this seemed reasonable.
Nangong Nayue is a national anti-demon officer known as the "Witch of the Gap", also known as the "Demon Killer". She once frightened the demons in Europe and solved countless magical crimes.
With her stationed on Genshin Island, we can’t say that the crime rate has been lowered, but at least no one would think that they can bypass Nangong Nayue by causing trouble on Genshin Island.
Nangong Nayue has arrested countless criminals since she became the Anti-Demon Officer. She also has a very special identity. How could ordinary terrorists mess around under her nose?
In addition, this legal loli also masters very high-level and difficult space control magic, which allows her to reach every corner of the Genshin Island in an instant and come and go freely. Not to mention that the terrorist only went 220 meters below the sea surface, even if he went ten times deeper, he could not escape the pursuit of the [Witch of the Gap].
"You are so devoted to your duty that it makes me, a spy of the Lion King Agency, look like a useless person..."
Aize muttered a few words, but didn't really feel anything about it.
To be honest, he really had little interest in these so-called events.
As long as it doesn't affect himself or the people around him, he doesn't bother to care.
He really didn't believe that without the Fourth Progenitor and the spies sent by the Lion King Agency to steal business, Gengami Island would be destroyed by the events in the original work.
You know, this artificial island is also not simple. Like Nangong Na Yue, it has a very special origin and background.
If a crisis really occurs here, I believe those people hiding in the dark will come out and settle everything themselves.
Even if something really happened, Aize could calmly salvage everything.
Summarize……
"I'll just keep playing badly."
As for how long this idea can last, it depends on whether some people are content or not...
