However, just as her fingers were about to knock on the door, the door of the mansion in front of her was suddenly pushed open, and light escaped from inside to outside, like stars scattered in the sun.
Against the light, the visitor saw the person who came to greet him.
She was a girl with a somewhat odd look, but her face was pretty, and her brown skin gave her a kind of "youthful" vitality. Although her expression was a little stiff, overall she looked pretty good.
However, after seeing this person, the visitor's pupils shrank slightly: "Bian Tian...?"
Huh? Hearing the name, the girl subconsciously glanced at the guest.
But she didn't say much, just said seriously: "Come in."
"The Prophet has been waiting for you for a long time."
Hearing this, the man subconsciously pressed his chest and lowered his eyelids to prevent the girl from seeing the waves rolling in his eyes.
After a while, the man raised his head and gave the girl a faint smile: "Please lead the way."
This person did not ask the "prophet" why he knew in advance that he would visit. This is really a stupid question and there is no need to ask it.
Rather, in the eyes of this guest, it would be surprising if the owner of this land did not give any advance warning of his "visit".
As if the girl was a little bit surprised by this man's attitude, she shook her head, shrugged her shoulders, and turned to walk deeper into the house.
Such actions always give people a more deliberate feeling.
It's like... imitating something.
But the visitor didn't say anything, just followed the girl.
After walking through the seemingly normal room, the two of them walked directly into the elevator. The girl gently pressed the elevator button, then reached out her hand, lifted her hair, and pressed her neck.
The visitor saw very clearly that under the girl's neck, he seemed to be able to vaguely see something like... a "connector".
While pressing, the girl whispered: "There is a problem with the data connection... It seems that the network setup needs to be adjusted, otherwise it may become very troublesome when traveling far away..."
She was saying something that no one else could understand, as if she was complaining about something or worried about something.
The man looked at her deeply again, and while doing so he stroked something on his chest, twisting it gently with his fingers as if he was considering something.
After a long while, the two of them left the mansion through the elevator and officially entered a more spacious area.
The elevator door opened in front of them. When the wide open space appeared before the two of them, it was obvious that the special underground environment made the visitor slightly stunned, and his eyes changed a little.
The "Bian Tian" who led her up showed a proud expression, coughed, and then said: "Follow me, I will take you there."
As she spoke, she stepped over the neatly arranged wires on the ground and headed deeper into the base.
The man followed behind her, and when he looked around the base, there was a subconscious strange look in his eyes.
Soon, the girl walking in front stopped in a room.
She knocked on the door of the room and whispered, "Prophet, the man is here."
About two seconds later, a calm response came from inside the door: "Come in."
The girl who received the response glanced at the guest, pushed the door open, and stood by the door, looking as if she had no intention of going in.
After taking a look at the "Bian Tian" standing next to him, the guest silently withdrew his gaze, straightened his clothes, and walked into the room with a calm and leisurely pace.
This room was probably where the person lived. It looked neat and tidy overall, without a speck of dirt. Even the quilts on the bed next to it were neatly folded together, giving people the illusion that they had not been folded at all.
The furnishings in the room can almost be described as "simple". Apart from a few potted plants, there are only heavy books and sandalwood bookshelves, as well as newspapers and magazines piled on the bookshelves. The charger next to the bookshelf may be the only "modern" electrical appliance in the room. Apart from this, there is no other symbol of electricity in the room.
The person the guest was visiting was currently sitting at the wooden table, writing and drawing on a piece of paper.
While looking at the paper, the man said, "Please take a seat. There is a seat next to you."
As he spoke, he sketched a strange mark on his paper and looked up at the guest sitting next to him.
“I have to say, this is really beyond my expectations.”
He said, although he said it was unexpected, his tone did not show any surprise at all, only calmness and composure: "If there is nothing wrong with my memory, then it seems that we just met once not long ago, so it can't be said that we haven't seen each other for a long time."
"What do you say, Miss Taketori?"
Hearing his words, the guest, or the "Princess Kaguya" from the island country, Kaguya Taketori, smiled: "Yes, sir. Not long ago, we fought together on Yanxia Mountain."
"It has only been more than 20 days since you crushed the malice and delusion of Humanity's Watch and saved the elites of various countries. So we have indeed only met not long ago."
Putting down his pen, the prophet looked up at Kaguya.
After a while, he said calmly: "So that's how you got my address."
"The ability to communicate with the dead, the princess of Tsukuyomi, is not just limited to the biographical anecdotes in mythology, but has it developed into a new power because of modern urban rumors and popular literature?"
Hearing the prophet's voice, Kaguya's expression remained unchanged, but a complex light flashed in her eyes.
After a moment, she said helplessly, "It seems that I really can't hide it from you."
"Yes," she said with dignity, "I have the ability to 'connect with the souls of the imprisoned dead.' This ability comes from a long-standing urban legend - 'the medium'."
"In my country, there was once a 'medium' who was twisted into a different species. After I defeated it, I obtained this pendant, which gave me the power to communicate with souls."
As she spoke, Kaguya stretched out her fingers, picked up the pendant in front of her, and showed it to the prophet.
The prophet only took a glance and revealed an ambiguous smile, while muttering in a low voice: "Oh, Hermes guy..."
After muttering some words that Kaguya couldn't understand, the prophet looked up at Kaguya and said, "Then don't worry about the trivial matters."
After tidying up the papers in front of him, the prophet's voice was somewhat ambiguous: "When I said 'unexpected' before, it was not because you learned my address from some dead souls, but because I was amazed at the purpose of your coming here."
"I have to say, you really showed me a very interesting future. It was like a thunderclap out of nowhere, which made me tremble with fear, but then it turned out to be a gentle breeze and drizzle, nothing special about it..."
As he said this, his voice was somewhat amused: "It looks like you are going to die, Miss Taketori."
Listening to the prophet's meaningful words, Kaguya knew that the other party now understood the purpose of her visit.
Only then did she realize what the so-called "prophet" really meant.
Even though she had anticipated that this journey might not be easy, when she actually stood in front of this man, Kaguya still felt a genuine sense of powerlessness.
There are no flaws or weaknesses, as if the entire body is covered with an airtight hard shell that not even light can penetrate.
However, in front of this man, he was like a warrior wearing nothing but armor, allowing the sharp knife to pierce through his wooden armor and draw blood with every blow!
That's the overwhelming gap in information.
Taking a deep breath, Kaguya lowered her brows and said, "As you expected, yes."
"If I continue to stay in the country, I'm afraid I won't live long," she said with a trembling voice. "Perhaps you already know the details, but out of honesty, please allow me to reveal the truth."
"You know the 'woodcarver', Zou Ye?"
Kaguya looked at the prophet: "Not long ago, Zou Ye also participated in this exercise in Yanxia Mountain, and possessed one of our team members. That person is the girl who is currently outside - her name is 'Hetian Asami'."
Listening to Kaguya's voice, the Prophet's expression did not change, he just continued to look at her calmly with deep eyes.
Under the pressure of such a gaze, Kaguya subconsciously gritted her teeth and said, "Due to some special reasons, Zou Ye and I reached a deal. But unfortunately, Zou Ye failed and left that body."
"After leaving the body, Zou Ye seemed to have gone crazy, causing us a lot of trouble and even a lot of scandals," Kaguya said, "But because of his strange abilities, we couldn't capture him even though we tried our best. Instead, he ran away."
"This made the people above very angry. Coupled with the recent incident of 'Humanity Watch', some people thought that there was a discordant note within the organization and decided to conduct a thorough investigation..."
Looking at the prophet, Kaguya said, "Because of this thorough investigation, many people have been in trouble. Many people have been exposed to be connected with some bad people and have caused a lot of trouble..."
"And this includes you?"
Before Kaguya could finish, the prophet interrupted her: "Because you have a lot of problems yourself, especially you have a deal with Zou Ye, so your current situation is also very troublesome?"
Hearing this, Kaguya's expression was a little bitter: "Yes."
"You don't know that the situation in our country is not very similar to yours," she said. "If you want to gain a foothold in that country, no one is clean, including me."
She raised her head and her voice became calm again. "I might even be a little worse. After all, I have done a lot of despicable things to protect myself and to climb up the ladder. And now, the investigation may be directed to me at any time. If I continue to stay there, I may not be able to protect myself."
"So, I specifically sought help from someone. And that person told me that if I could get help from you, I might be able to get help."
As she said this, Kaguya secretly glanced at the prophet's expression.
However, to her disappointment, even after she revealed so much, the prophet's face remained calm.
This made her very frustrated, and she felt more and more that the ability to "predict the future" was troublesome.
When negotiating and communicating, the other party's expression and demeanor are very important indicators of judgment. No one can not react at all when receiving a message. The only people in this world who can remain completely calm are the dead whose body functions are basically dysfunctional and... the "prophets" who have predicted the future in advance and will not be surprised at all! They can know a lot of information, so they can be completely calm and rational. In addition to this guy in front of her, Kaguya has also seen this in another person.
That too is a "prophet".
She lowered her head, her fingers tightly grasping her skirt. After a long silence, she slowly spoke: "I know that you must be preparing for something in a few days. I can roughly guess that this incident may take place in 'Xinhai'."
Looking up, Kaguya said word by word: "However, on that day, a situation no less terrible than what happened in Yanxia Mountain will occur in 'Shinkai'! On that day, the 'Hundred Demons' of our country will land on this land and wreak havoc in 'Shinkai'!"
"There are quite a few troublesome guys among the 'Hundred Demons'. They are monsters that once arrived at the peninsula and are now classified under the name of 'Hundred Demons'," Kaguya said. "Even for the Countermeasures Bureau, it is difficult to perfectly deal with them. Especially since they may unite together to form a terrible monster."
"So this time, I brought 'Takemiya's Broken Arm'!"
Kaguya said this with a solemn expression on her face.
After hearing this, the prophet's eyes finally showed some fluctuations.
Takemiya is "Takemiya Susanoo-no-Mikoto", one of the three noble sons of the island country.
Not long ago, Qingguang had a dispute with the prophet over Jianyu's broken arm. Although Qingguang was defeated in the end, it was obvious that Jianyu was of great significance to the Nine Heads Divine Religion.
But Kaguya said that she brought out "Takemiya's broken arm"...
If the information is accurate, every part of Takeuchi's body should be in the hands of the Countermeasures Bureau now.
How is it possible that an island nation still has...
Or is it that the "Jianyu" in front of us is actually slightly different from the "Jianyu" that we imagined?
Thinking of this, the prophet's eyes flickered with an ambiguous look.
After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "I understand."
"Come with me," he said, standing up and brushing off the dust on his clothes. "Although I can't say that I can completely solve your problem, at least it won't be a problem to drag it out and find a way out."
"It just requires the help of one of our 'friends'."
