Chapter 93

The equipment used for the live broadcast was quickly damaged by the high concentration of cursed energy, and the transmitted images were cut off.

The blooming of the sacred tree was so loud that even those who were fleeing for their lives at the scene and did not have time to watch the live broadcast could realize that something unexpected was happening.

The people who were originally conducting a carpet search like headless flies will soon gather in the direction of the sacred tree.

Bai Yun decisively controlled Kakashi Hatake's vest and went forward to move the old woman. At the same time, "Uchiha Obito" cooperated tacitly to put the car, which was almost scrapped, into the Kamui space.

The pollen around the old woman had not yet completely dispersed. When her feet suddenly left the ground, her first reaction was to look at the phantom made up of pollen.

He was an old man with a face full of wrinkles. He seemed to be smiling all the time. Most of his gray hair was combed back, with only a strand falling on his forehead. He exuded the feeling of an intellectual who was well-read in poetry.

After the old woman was moved, he immediately followed, floating in the air like a kite, and the old woman herself was the thin string that controlled his direction.

After realizing that the other party would not be lost and would not disappear in the short term, the old woman breathed a sigh of relief and stopped struggling.

The two Uchiha aliases had no reason to continue participating, so they left on their own when they found the opportunity. Bai Yun controlled the only remaining alias of Hatake Kakashi and followed Gojo Satoru all the way to the old woman's shop.

This store was not close to the crime scene, but it looked like it had been robbed. Several cabinets inside were wide open and turned upside down, and it was impossible to tell what was missing.

The old lady's shop is somewhat famous on the Internet, so it is not impossible that someone would take advantage of the chaos and steal things.

The old woman didn't think much of it when she saw this. She just cursed a few words casually, then went to the cashier, opened the drawer, and revealed a trace of genuine anger when she found it was empty.

Seeing this, Bai Yun asked, "Did you lose something important?"

"The old man died of an old illness. He and I had foreseen this."

The old woman seemed a little anxious. She rummaged through her pockets, took out an egg yolk pastry, tore open the package and took a bite.

"So in his last days, he left me many of his specialties."

Just like the selling points of their shop, the old lady and the old man know a lot of tricks. Even if they only make one of the same kind of dessert, it will be a considerable number.

After taking a small bite of the egg yolk shortbread, the old woman paused for a second. She carefully stuffed the rest back into the package and muttered to herself as if to distract herself: "He was very sick at the time. His hands shook like Parkinson's disease when he applied butter, and the butter biscuits were squeezed so tightly that they looked like ghosts' paintings... I told him that he was still unwilling to do it. He just wanted to make it to his best level over and over again."

Western pastries are rarely prepared one at a time, so the old man ended up with a huge number of finished products. He didn't want his wife, who also had a poor health, to eat too many sweets at her age, so he distributed most of them to customers for free, and only kept the most perfect one of each variety for his wife.

But what grandpa didn't know was that the old woman had actually secretly hidden some desserts that were easier to store, which allowed her small treasury to last until now, two months after grandpa passed away.

She had originally hidden all those snacks in her drawer. Even in today's desperate situation, she only took out three or four and put them in her pocket. But she never expected that there would be a thief so unscrupulous that he would even steal her food.

Bai Yun felt that a normal person would not take the time to steal snacks during a burglary. The empty drawer was probably because the old woman's son was unhappy that she ate expired food, so he secretly emptied it when she was not around.

But this was not the topic they should talk about now, nor was it an area that Bai Yun should intervene in, so he just asked the question that interested him the most: "Why were you there at that time?"

Shouldn't you have been taken to a safe place by Yuta Okkotsu? Why did you come back by yourself? Where is Yuta Okkotsu?

Bai Yun had felt the pull of the sacred tree and remembered Gojo Satoru's script, so he fulfilled the wish of the first pilgrim, but it was not until later that he realized who that person was.

The old woman's experience at that time was also legendary.

Under Bai Yun's curious gaze, the old woman told her everything.

When she saw Okkotsu Yoshida flying into the sky and still able to lift a car with one hand, she realized that she had really gotten it.

Because she knew very well that an old woman had no chance of winning if she confronted him head-on, she tried some tricks and made some requests when Okkotsu Yuta was about to choose a place to drop her off.

The old woman first asked Okkotsu Yuta to place her not far from another explosion point, and then begged him to help find her son.

Firstly, she was indeed worried about the other party's safety. Secondly, if Otsutsuki went back to the sacred tree directly, then when the old woman walked back, she would most likely collide with him directly. If she was still far away, she would not be able to turn the situation around.

Although Otsukotsu Yuta really wanted to see Uchiha Madara in person, he thought the old woman's concerns were reasonable, and he felt a little soft-hearted, so he finally sighed and went to find someone.

Afterwards, the old woman seized the time and drove her car recklessly. Although she felt suffocated throughout the whole process and almost got into big trouble several times, she finally reached her destination successfully and realized her wish.

Just when Bai Yun was sighing in his heart that the old woman was really an extraordinary woman, a burst of hurried footsteps came closer and closer. He turned his head in time and found that the old woman's son rushed in from the door which had not yet been closed.

"Hurry up, it's too late--"

He seemed to want to tell someone something, but when he saw the situation inside the house, he immediately stopped talking.

"Why are you here!?"

The old woman put her hands on her hips and said, "That's what I wanted to ask!"

The old woman's son was so anxious that he was running around in circles. At this time, another figure appeared from behind him. It turned out to be Okkotsu Yuta who was just thinking about it.

Finally, a few people pieced together and restored the truth.

It turned out that the old woman's son was still a pessimist. When the explosion occurred, the first thing he thought of was a terrorist attack. After thinking for a long time, he felt that his store would definitely not be able to withstand the next round of "bombing", so he immediately went back and planned to move all the important things away.

He did not choose money, but went straight to various cabinets to look for recipes.

He still remembers those handwritten recipes, written by his father, sometimes accompanied by photos, sometimes simple hand drawings, and his mother's merciless comments.

However, because he had not come back to help for a while, he searched for a long time before finally finding his target. When he hurriedly escaped, he was still thinking: If the detective Kogoro Mouri is reliable, my mother should be in the safest police station now.

Everyone knows what happened next: he met Otsutsuki Yuta by chance, and seeing that he had infinite strength (? ), extraordinary power, and was willing to help, he wanted him to help take down the sign that had been hanging in the store for forty years.

The old woman frowned and looked at her son: "Are you stupid? It's fine if the person runs away. It doesn't matter what other things he has."

The middle-aged man immediately became furious: "You're still blaming me! What you did is much more dangerous than what I did!"

Because of his excitement, his movements were a bit large. Bai Yun could hear the sound of something rubbing in his bulging pockets. The old woman also looked over subconsciously, then her eyes widened: "So you took my snacks!"

If they were really going to throw them away, they would have done so long ago, and would not be carrying them with them now. This proves that these snacks, like the recipes, were transferred away by the middle-aged man as "important items" after the explosion.

"Hello, long-winded!"

Seeing the other party's attitude, the old woman became more certain of her idea. She was moved and her hands were itchy, and she wanted to hit someone.

The old man's virtual image was amused after seeing this. He was no longer as obvious as when he was just born. It seemed that the middle-aged man could not see him at all, but he himself did not care. He just circled around the two of them, then silently landed on the cash register and turned into a branch.

A emerald green leaf has grown on the palm-sized dead branch, supporting the flower bud, waiting for the next blooming.

The old woman's story has come to an end for the time being, but the impact of the incident itself continues to ferment.

The video, which lasted only a dozen seconds, was circulated wildly on the Internet. People analyzed it frame by frame, trying to find evidence that it was actually a special effect, but ultimately failed.

Therefore, there is currently an unprecedented amount of discussion online about the fact that the sacred tree can indeed fulfill wishes, and people are exclaiming in amazement: if it can even bring the dead back to life, then doesn’t the sacred tree have to be omnipotent?

As the owner of the Rinnegan, although he can really perform the miracle of resurrection, but firstly, [Rinnegan] requires exchanging life for life, Bai Yun's life is also a life. Even if the old woman is very kind, he will not give up his own life so rashly.

The second and most important point is that Bai Yun is unwilling to set this precedent.

Otherwise, it will be very troublesome once issues like morality are involved.

So in order to avoid complete chaos, not only was no one resurrected, but even the phantom itself was an illusion.

[Infinite Monthly Reading] can never add icing on the cake, and its reason for existence is to bring a little comfort to those who are in despair.

At least that's how Bai Yun understood it.

But people on the Internet were not aware of these details. But it had no real impact on him anyway, so Bai Yun decided to let them do as they pleased.

In addition, there is another turning point in Bai Yun's life that he can't understand.

"Gojo, tell me honestly, you were once the teacher of the last descendant of the Uchiha clan."

Looking at the uninvited child, Bai Yun nodded slowly: "That's right."

After a long silence, Yuta finally summoned up the courage: "...Although it's a little sudden, can you teach me how to become an Uchiha?"

The problem is that you are not one of them...not only you, but also Hatake Kakashi is not one of them!

Bai Yun subconsciously wanted to refuse: "But don't you have a teacher? Gojo Satoru is here, so I can't interfere."

But the other party's next answer surprised him.

Otkotsu Yuta said: "Actually, this was also Gojo-sensei's request, because he has been a bit busy lately."

Bai Yun was much more energetic after hearing this: "Is there another task piled up?"

What a great joy!

Otsukoshi Yuta shook his head: "No, actually this matter is somewhat related to Uchiha Madara."

Bai Yun: “…………?”

Really? Why didn't I know that?

The young master of magic explained, "Teacher Kakashi, do you still remember the kid named Edogawa Conan?"

Bai Yun didn't quite understand how the topic shifted to this point, but she still answered honestly: "I remember."

Otsutsuki Yuta was not present at the scene, so he only got a rough idea of ​​the situation from Gojo Satoru's fragmentary remarks. His tone of voice was not very certain at this time: "According to Gojo Sensei, Uchiha Madara was a little angry because he made fun of him and Conan Edogawa suspected him."

Bai Yun: “?”

Ignoring Bai Yun's confusion, Yuta Otsutsuki continued to analyze, "So recently, various murders have been happening around Gojo-sensei at a terrifying frequency. Although he is usually just an ordinary eyewitness, there have been a few times when he was caught and interrogated as a suspect because he could not provide an alibi."

"It is said that the Gojo family came forward to redeem him, so Mr. Gojo was able to escape successfully."

What? Gojo Satoru also has a science buff?

Bai Yun was shocked: No, the fusion of worlds doesn't work like this? !

Bai Yun felt a little strange. He sorted out his logic and asked back with a frown, "But there have been quite a few murders recently. How can he be sure that he is not just unlucky?"

Otsutsuki Yuta said seriously, "Because Edogawa Conan has always been following me like a ghost, there were times when even Gojo-sensei didn't notice when he appeared."

…It turns out that it’s not “also” there, but that I have been following you all the time.

Oh, that's okay.
