Chapter 147 The Runaway Sweetheart of the Zen House is now showing
147.
You look at the three high school students standing there, motionless.
Xia Youjie stared at the two golden river vultures that were howling for a long time, then turned his head and lowered his voice: "Wu, did you see anything?"
Did you throw out two yellow mice just now? Did the cursed spirit run away? Haha, it can't be that the cursed spirit was "cursed" into the same kind by such a small number of mice, right?
Gojo Satoru stroked his chin, stared wide-eyed behind his sunglasses, and lowered his voice: "Jay, I didn't see anything."
"A creature with absolutely zero mana."
So he didn't know whether the cursed spirit ran away or turned into a yellow rat.
"But my eyes have been giving me warnings." Gojo Satoru tapped his sunglasses, "Let me stay away from the yellow rat."
Although he was very curious, extremely curious, the uneasy feeling that came with that warning was like a cat being stroked against its fur, which always made him feel very irritated.
The depressed Gojo Satoru had to give up trying to figure out where you got so many strange things.
But his curiosity has not been extinguished. Gojo Satoru is ready to ask you what he wants to ask after building a good relationship with you. The short time you have been together has made him keenly aware that you are the type of person who doesn't care about the life and death of unimportant people.
Acquaintances may care a little, but not much.
"Why?" As if he had thought of something, Xia Yujie burst out laughing and said in a joking tone, "It can't be that the yellow rat can turn people into the same species, right?"
Noticing that Gojo Satoru didn't say anything, the smile on Geto's face gradually disappeared: "No way?"
"Jie." Gojo Satoru patted Geto's shoulder and said in a pretentious mature tone, "Things related to the boss are very complicated. You may not be able to control... No, you may not be able to control it. Just leave this matter to me."
He fished out his cell phone.
"So please send me to your boss on LINE. I believe she will prefer Wuzi-chan who is liked by the elders~"
"...Haha." Xia Yujie slapped Gojo Satoru's hand away and smiled, "No way."
"Don't think about harassing your boss for no reason."
Ieiri Naoko squatted down with you, reached out and poked one of the golden river vultures, and exclaimed, "So soft and fluffy."
“Is that so?” You picked up the giant river vulture that the cursed spirit had transformed into, and spun around in circles, saying in a cheerful tone, “But don’t touch it for too long, or Glass will also turn into a giant river vulture.”
Ieiri Naoko's hand, which was hanging in the air, froze.
She slowly and nonchalantly withdrew her hand and turned to look at the two male classmates: "We have been out for too long, and the moth will be worried."
The tenor who heard your conversation, put up his glasses, smiled dryly and took two steps back: "Ah, that's right, boss, you should put away the yellow rat first."
This is not something from the world of magic. It's hard to guard against and one could be assimilated in a moment. They'd better stay away from it.
"Hey, are we going back now?" You put the river vulture into your bag, and then walked forward enthusiastically to ask the three high school students, "Would you like to try the river vulture burger set?"
The three of them shook their heads frantically: "No, no, no, we have something else to do today. Thank you for your help, boss. We will go back first. Teacher Ye Moth must be very worried."
You wanted to persuade them to eat something before leaving, but Xia Youjie had already apologized and summoned the stingray. The other two climbed onto the stingray's back impatiently as if there were golden river vultures chasing them from behind.
“Strange…” You took out a fragrant hamburger bun in the shape of a giant vulture from your backpack and passed it to Freddy who had just appeared. “Frey, don’t they like to eat delicious and juicy burgers?”
"Don't worry about them."
Frey took the burger and spoke indifferently.
"They are all tasteless people."
*
You plan to start the night collection of new maps when it is late at night and everyone is asleep.
You didn't even have time to look at the system panel carefully after logging in, and you didn't notice that the collection guide was updated... You saw the fish guide when you were fishing.
Cursed spirits also have illustrated books, but they are divided into different levels. You can complete the illustrated book by collecting one of each level.
The store is open until midnight, and after work is a good time for you to do some sneaky things... ahem, collect the fear of local NPCs.
But it's still a bit nerve-wracking to collect in a new dungeon at night for the first time, so you plan to choose a familiar place - such as the Zenin family that Fushiguro Shiji is very familiar with.
For this purpose, you specially prepared several sets of pre-made cursed vegetables, intending to leave early with Fushiguro Shinobu.
"The Zenin family?" Fushiguro Shigenobu, who was sitting on a chair, was not interested in talking about his own family. "What's so good about a place like that..."
Suddenly, he sat up straight, stroked his chin, and smiled evilly: "Hey, boss, are you going to catch the cursed spirit of the Zen temple?"
"Sure, I'll take you there. There's no extra charge this time."
Curse spirits? Oh, yes, Gojo Satoru just said today that the Yusan family would keep curse spirits in captivity. Great, great, we can collect them and replenish the ingredients for curse spirits. This Yusan family is really great.
"I'm not sure about the Gojo family..." Fushiguro Shigeu moved his arms, "The Kamo family..."
“Well, if the boss wants relevant information…” He took out his phone and held out his other hand to you, “these are not free.”
Although he didn't know exactly, he could ask his former partner Kong Shiyu.
“No.” You slapped his hand away coldly. “Don’t underestimate me for just the location information.”
System map navigation, activated!
…
"Since you know the location..." Fushiguro Shinji sighed and touched the back of his neck, "Why did you bring me here?"
Rather than meeting a bunch of idiots at the Zenin House, it's better to go home early... Ah, I think I should bring something for Hui? Tsk, when we're done, I'll ask the boss Ameng who can give me anything.
"I know the location," you answered honestly, "but I don't know who owns the room."
"I wonder which room has more good things."
"The kiku for storing cursed tools is over there, and the place where cursed spirits are kept is over there. The current head of the Zenin family seems to be Zenin Naohito..." Fushiguro Shiori stopped talking halfway. He looked at you in silence as you chopped down a tree with an axe - and it still didn't kill the tree. "What are you doing, boss?"
"Gathering." You said confidently, "The wood here has magical power... I don't know what it's used for, but I've never seen it before."
When I climbed over the wall, I saw a golden treasure chest on the roof.
Zeninya is a really nice place.
You sighed like this, dragged a trash can out from the bushes next to you, and as Fushiguro Shinjiro hesitated to speak, you opened the lid of the trash can and reached in to rummage around -
He took out a katana that glowed with golden light.
[You have obtained a special grade spell tool]
Oh oh - you hold the knife and spin around, and you hit the target with one shot, good good good!
The Zen temple family is so nice, it’s a perfect match for you!
"Hey, stop joking..." Fushiguro jumped down from the tree in disbelief, shaking the trash can. "How could the cursed tool in the Jiku appear in the trash can?"
“Isn’t this normal?”
Following your previous experience of opening boxes from trash cans, you walked behind another tree, dug out a treasure chest, and took out the mediocre things inside: "Here, there are good things and junk things... Zenin Naoya's special plate... What the hell? It's junk quality."
You threw this thing in the trash where it belongs.
In just a few minutes, all the noise you made has already silenced Fushiguro Shiori: Has he been away from the Zenin family for too long? Why has the current Zensan family become so... childish?
Silent Fushiguro Shijiu follows behind you, watching you on your way to the place where the cursed spirits are stored, occasionally jumping onto the roof to open a treasure chest; occasionally rushing into the bushes and picking up a sickle to chop down a few fruits that are obviously not grown by this bush; occasionally kicking into the roadside trash can to rummage and pick up something...
"boss……"
After you shook another treasure chest down from the tree, Fushiguro Shijiro patted your shoulder after you were successfully assimilated. When you turned your head in confusion, he pointed at himself and grinned: "Can you let me open the box?"
This thing seems more interesting than horse racing.
You watched as Fushiguro Jyouji opened ten treasure chests in a row. All of them were of ordinary quality, and all of them contained things related to Zenin Naoya. You also remained silent.
"Shin'ah..." You hugged the treasure chest tightly in your arms, alert, "Auntie knows that you used to be a member of the Zenin family, but there is no need to repay the Zenin family with your little black hands, right?"
Logically speaking, if Fushiguro Shigeki hates the Zenin family so much, shouldn't he just take a bunch of golden items and empty the Zenin family's inventory?
Is it that love is hard to express in one's heart? Is it that the deeper the hatred, the stronger the love?
Fushiguro Shiji made a vomiting expression: "Boss, you are a bit too disgusting to say that."
Looking at the pile of garbage, Fushiguro Shigeki said firmly: "This is clearly evidence that the Zenin family and I don't get along."
But he also doubted himself: Could it be that the reason why he couldn't find anything good was because of the blood of the "Zen Temple"?
Also, how come this guy called Zenin Naoya is everywhere like a fly head?
Tsk, that's annoying.
*
Zenin Naoya, who you two had been talking about, had just finished his evening training and was changing his clothes with the help of his maid.
"How do you do it?" Zenin Naoya, whose hair was accidentally pulled, was furious. He waved his hand and pushed the maid away, "Stupid woman!"
Really, this family is full of incompetent idiots.
The maid knelt on the ground and trembled with her head lowered, fearing that Zenin Naoya would throw her into the Cursed Spirit Warehouse in a rage.
Zenin Naoya, who was in a relatively good mood, simply waved his hand to have the maid dragged away, without giving any specific punishment - a servant with good sense would have given sufficient punishment.
After all, women should follow men three steps behind, like the daughter who slapped her uncle... Maki, right? She has a nice face, but her stubborn personality will make her unmarriageable.
In comparison, Mayi is much better... Well, they are family after all. When he becomes the head of the Zenin family in the future, he will help them find a good man.
Half lying on the bed, Zenin Naoya sighed deeply. It was boring, really too boring.
Only that person...
The scene of his first encounter with Fushiguro Shier flashed through his mind. He remembered the aura of a strong man that made him tremble. He remembered the other party's arrogant and oppressive eyes...
Zenoin Naoya's hands gradually tightened, his wide eyes were full of fanaticism. Only Fushiguro Shinobu...his cousin, was truly powerful.
In the Zenin family, the only one who can reach the side of the strong is him.
…
Zenin Naoya, who had just fallen asleep, woke up in a daze to the noise outside the house.
Having his sweet dream disturbed, he shouted in annoyance, "Where are the people? Where did they go? Why is it so noisy outside?"
"Young Master..." The servant who heard his voice immediately walked in and knelt in front of him, "A thief... a thief broke into the Zenin family, and the master is ordering people to count the lost things..."
"Thief?" Zenin Naoya seemed to have heard something funny. He said with a sense of superiority, "How could a blind thief come to Zenin's house to steal things?"
"Are you tired of living?"
Zenin Naoya yawned. "So which junk was lost?"
"Most of the cursed tools in the Kiku warehouse were lost. All the special and first-grade cursed tools were stolen. The second-grade cursed spirits in captivity were also..." Naoya Kanzenin's face became more and more terrifying, and the attendant's voice became smaller and smaller, "And..."
"What else?"
When he thought about how a bunch of rubbish couldn't even look after his house and caused him to lose so much - Zenin Naoya, who believed that he would be the next head of the Zenin family, naturally treated the family property as his own - Zenin Naoya gradually became murderous.
He laughed in anger: "Tell me, what else is lost?"
"Master..." The servant lowered his head even lower, "Master's beard, and...and Master Shen and Master Shan's...hair."
“More lost items are still being counted.”
"Beard... and hair?" Zenin Naoya was half angry. He felt as if he had punched into cotton and his expression became strange. "So my father and uncle are now..."
Got a smooth chin and scalp?
The servant did not dare to answer. No matter what he said, it would be disrespectful to the master of the house and other adults.
"It doesn't look like a thief..." Zenin Naoya thought, "Is it revenge from the other two families?"
During this period, he stayed in school in Kyoto and had no time to learn about the family affairs.
"Hey, you." He walked over and kicked the servant rudely: "Go and find out what happened to the Yu San family recently."
The servant responded and left his room cautiously.
Zenin Naoya stood alone at the window, looking at the night sky and thinking about what happened tonight.
Just then, he heard a strange yet familiar voice.
"…Why are we running away?"
"I don't know, maybe it's a conditioned reflex?"
And you would never have imagined that this Zen temple was actually a cockroach nest - it looked like there were only a few people, but in fact the whole place was full of people.
You are not worried about the AoE problem, as you and Frey can attack everyone in a group, but you are a little worried that your employee with 0 spell power might be a squishy person.
If Fushiguro Shinobu dies, who will take you to the Zenin's house to find someone accurately next time? How can you eat the food cooked by his wife?
"Boss, what made you think of pulling out their beards and hair?"
"Tsk, how do I know they won't be bald in middle age and won't need wigs? Isn't this creating conditions for them to wear wigs?"
It will be convenient for you to come and steal next time... No, come and take their wigs. Anyway, players can enter the NPC's room whenever they want.
"Then why did you..." Fushiguro Shier paused, as if trying to hold back a laugh, "put hemorrhoid cream by their beds again?"
"I feel like it's time for them to use it at this age."
In fact, you were just clearing out the garbage in your backpack and randomly dropped some items... Unexpectedly, your hand slipped and dropped the hemorrhoid cream on the face of the sleeping NPC.
Next time you will remember to use the cactus to help the NPC enter a deep sleep.
But to be honest, after the NPC woke up, the first thing he did was to touch his weapon and get into a fighting stance. He was quite skilled. But the next thing he did was touch his own cool, round head and his expression...
After seeing this, Fushiguro Shigeki laughed out loud.
The NPC appears to know Fushiguro and attempts to chat with your staff.
But you noticed that there were a lot of red and yellow-named NPCs approaching on the system map - this egg-headed NPC was so unsportsmanlike that he tried to get close to your employees while quietly calling for people to catch you - luckily you were there, otherwise your employees would have suffered a great loss, right?
You, who never thought that if it weren't for you, Fushiguro Shigeki would never have come to the Zenin family, turned around, grabbed Fushiguro Shigeki's belt and jumped out of the window.
You didn't control your strength well and accidentally pulled off Fushiguro Shinji's pants, allowing his underwear to be seen by the NPCs.
You are deeply sorry for this and say that you will be gentler next time and will definitely help Fushiguro Shigekiru maintain his male ethics.
"You're not feeling bad for them, are you?" You were playing the game of avoiding the Zenin family's guard in the corridor, and looked at Fushiguro Shier with a complicated look, "Auntie knows, people can't completely let go of their concern for their original family..."
"Boss, I don't want to vomit halfway, can you shut up first?"
"Okay, okay, you don't care about your family of origin at all. I totally understand."
"…There's a box over there. It's mine."
"No, buddy, don't let your little black hands dirty my big treasure chest!"
…
Why does this sound so familiar? Zenin Naoya tried to stick his head out of the window, trying to see more clearly. Could it be...
He slowly widened his eyes and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
He knew that the person who could cause such a commotion in the Zenin family must be the strongest of the strong, Fushiguro Shige!
"Found it! They're here!"
"Damn it, we were discovered... In that case, let's take the Heavenly Path."
"Heavenly Road?"
"Hehe, just this once."
A strange whistle was heard.
"…I feel like it's something that can be sold for a good price."
What? Are they leaving? Who did Fushiguro Shier come with? Who went to the side of the strong in advance? Zenin Naoya was a little anxious. No, he hadn't let Fushiguro Shier remember his name yet.
"very……"
A white shadow flashed before his eyes.
Gone... Zenoin Naoya lowered his head somewhat disappointedly, then he clenched his fist unwillingly and smashed it hard against the wall.
The sound of birds flapping their wings was heard.
He looked up and saw a huge white ostrich slowly descending. On the bird's back sat Fushiguro Shiji, whom he admired, and -
A strange man wearing a brown horse head mask, with only a pair of eyes exposed, and wearing armor.
"He seems to have seen our escape route." You turned your head to look at Fushiguro Shier and made a gesture of wiping your neck, "Do you want to kill him?"
"This kid..." Fushiguro Shiori narrowed his eyes and identified him for a while, then said with a click of the tongue, "He seems to be Naobi's son. Killing him now will cause a lot of trouble."
"Okay, then keep it and kill it later."
You can think of it as raising pigs, raising them until they are fat and ready to be slaughtered.
Before flying away on your Chocobo, you glanced at Zenin Naoya again, thinking that this NPC is pretty good-looking, and maybe he will have a role in the later stages of the game - if food management games can have plots.
You were flying too fast and didn't notice that the third-level cursed giant river vulture you transformed tonight fell out of your pocket. This giant river vulture was not golden in color, but ordinary light brown. You found it very strange, so you put it in your pocket to play with it.
Zenin Naoya subconsciously reached out and caught the big river fox.
He stood at the window for a long time without moving.
He was immersed in the look in your eyes before you left: eyes without any emotion, filled with an inhuman sense of emptiness, just a casual glance at you, and yet it made him feel full of oppression...
An abnormal flush appeared on Zenoin Naoya's face. He bent down, gasping for breath, and grabbed the clothes on his chest tightly.
This feeling that makes your heart beat faster and your blood boil...
Yes...I am moved!
The woman next to Fushiguro Shigekiru has a pair of eyes that you will never forget once you have seen them.
He stood up slowly.
He had only seen those blue eyes, which were clearer and brighter than the sky, on one person, so...
That woman is the second Rokugan hidden by the Gojo family!
Zenin Naoya pinched the furry Oogawa beetle in his hand and thought confidently: She didn't kill me, and she even left a clue... Is this a token of love? Is it to remind me to go to the Gojo family and propose?
Alas, no matter how strong a woman is, when she meets a man she likes, she will eventually become a fragile and lovable little woman.
At this moment, the servant came to report that some of his daily necessities were also stolen that night - a large part of them were found in the trash can that inexplicably appeared in the backyard.
The servant did not dare to say this, so Master Naoya might have thought that it was stolen.
When Zenoin Naoya heard this, he was not angry, but even happier: the woman from the Gojo family must have loved him so much that she even took away his things.
He lowered his head and looked into the eyes of the big river fox in his hand, becoming more and more certain of his idea - to propose marriage tomorrow!
The innocent river beetle was pinched: "Ah?"
As you were riding the bird towards the store, you sneezed violently.
"Boss, do you have a cold?"
"No, maybe someone from the Zenin family is teasing me..."
Why are the people in the Zen temple so bad?
The players are still too kind, you thought sinisterly, next time you will sweep away all the spoils and rob them all, leaving nothing for them.
*
"Satoru, you were suddenly called back to Gojo's house. Did something happen?" Xia Yujie looked at Gojo Satoru and asked with concern, "Is it serious?"
“Don’t mention it.” Gojo Satoru waved his hand impatiently. “I don’t know what’s wrong with Zenin Naoya. He came to the Gojo family so early in the morning…”
Thinking of the scene recounted by others, he showed a puzzled expression and continued, "Propose marriage."
"Propose a marriage?" Xia Yujie raised his eyebrows, "Zenin Naoya?"
The one who was marinated in feudalism and believed that women should be content to stay at home and take care of their husbands and children all their lives and not even think about sitting at the table for meals?
After hearing the gossip, Ieiri Naoko also came over and sincerely suggested, "Satoru, if you need it, I can treat your sister's eyes."
How blind must one be to fall for a scumbag among scumbags?
"Really? I thought so too." Gojo Satoru continued excitedly, "But..." He gestured with his hands, "The person that guy was talking about doesn't exist at all."
"The second Rokugan wearing a brown horse head mask and metal armor." Gojo Satoru imitated Zenin Naoya's voice and performed in a weird way, "She left me a token of love yesterday. Where did you hide her?"
"The second six eyes?" Xia Yujie couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud, "Has Zenin Naoya been sleeping too much?"
So I was dreaming in broad daylight.
"Maybe it's because I punched him in the head during the exchange meeting, causing him to have a brain injury." Gojo Satoru threw his hands up without any apology, "Ah, who knew he was so weak?"
Ieiri Naoko kicked his chair and urged, "What happened next?"
"The guards asked him what the token of love was, but he refused to tell them, saying that outsiders were not qualified to see it. The guards asked him how he knew the woman was a woman when he was wearing armor and a hood, and he said that he just knew intuitively that the woman must be a woman."
"The guard asked his attendant if Zenin Naoya was drunk. The attendant said that he hadn't seen Master Naoya smile like that for a long time and hoped that the Gojo family would send Master's fiancée out as soon as possible."
"The guards of the Gojo family thought that this was a provocation from the Zenin family, and they shouted, 'We have tolerated you for a long time from the Zenin family...' and they started a fight."
Gojo Satoru lay on the table and sighed again.
"I was called back to deal with these things."
After all, it is a matter between two families, and it also involves the candidates for the next head of the Liuyan and Zenyuan families.
"armor?"
Xia Yujie and Ieiri Naoko looked at each other, and it was obvious that they were thinking of the same person.
"It can't be the boss's." Gojo Satoru waved his hand. "The boss should be older, right? And considering our previous guesses, she definitely has nothing to do with the Gojo family."
He smiled and joked: "Could it be that the boss is a wild six-eyed monster?"
