Chapter 358 Meeting, the guest of Gu Qiye's house (two in one request for monthly ticket) (two in one request for monthly ticket)
"The Lord has returned—!" A sudden roar echoed through the forest, breaking the long silence. The divine chicken demons spoke at a frighteningly piercing decibel, but when it came to large-scale announcements, no demon was better suited than them.
"Dad is back?" The little Nian Beast was lying alone on a branch in a daze. When it heard the message from the divine chicken demons, it raised its head curiously and looked towards the brightly lit forest.
At this time, a sudden morning breeze swept in from the horizon, brushing the branches of the trees and blowing up the purple-red hair of the little Nian beast.
Under the dimly lit sky, thousands of lanterns swayed in the wind, spreading a warm halo. From a distance, it looked like an orange-yellow tide.
Nameless petals fluttered in the wind, and the air was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood. The little Nian beast's nose twitched slightly, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
The Nian Beast Lord is back.
It was about to meet its father, whom it hadn't seen for a decade. It would be a touching reunion, and Nian might even shed tears. Who knew if demons could shed tears?
But after this touching reunion, the little Nian beast should seriously consider how to seize power and usurp the throne.
The mentor is secretly planning something. The actions of the Salvation Society have become more and more frequent recently. Moreover, they have found Ji Minghuan's younger brother and regard this as the key to breaking the deadlock.
It is obvious that Ji Minghuan does not have much time left.
If he wanted to lure the "Lake Hunters" and the "Demon Army" on Haifan Mountain to the Salvation Society's base, "Iceland", and make them unknowingly help him break through the Salvation Society's defenses...
So, the first thing he should do is to establish and consolidate the little Nian beast's dominance in the demon world.
In other words, the little Nian Beast must become the new Demon Lord and force his old father to abdicate.
Once you have control over the demons, it will be much easier to use them.
At present, Ji Minghuan has obtained the location of the Salvation Society base from Urushihara Ruri through the No. 1 machine "Black Pupa", which is at the bottom of the "Glacier of Hofsdome, Iceland".
There is an old friendship between the Little Nian Beast and Lin Xingshi.
Now that they have been reunited after a long separation, it can try to communicate with the captain of the lake hunters and set the location of the decisive battle between the two sides at "Hofsdome in Iceland".
The excuse used by the Little Nian Beast was "not to harm the ordinary demons on Haifan Mountain, nor to endanger the ordinary citizens in Haifan City, and to have a fair and upright war."
In this case, with Lin Xingshi's straightforward personality, it would be difficult for him to refuse. In addition, the two of them had known each other since childhood, and considering their old friendship, the probability of success would be even higher.
So, when the world's number one exorcist and the world's strongest demon army meet, a battle will rage on the doorstep of the Savior Society. This battle is so massive that no matter how much the Savior Society wants to play dead, it can't just sit back and watch.
And this just achieved Ji Minghuan's goal.
After all, at that time, there will not only be the four Lake Hunters and the demons from Haifan Mountain who will appear on Iceland... The ten villains from the White Crow Brigade, the three princes from the box garden, the Gu family, and even the Rainbow Wings that have lost half of their wings, all of these people will gather together to help Ji Minghuan.
The four gaming machines in Ji Minghuan's hands will also be developed to the peak state that can be achieved under the "restriction agent state" at that time.
In terms of strength alone, his machine is probably second only to the mythical monster kid in the Savior Team. With the help of the forces coming to help, it will be no problem for him to break through the Savior Society's defense line in one go.
But ideals are beautiful after all, and he is currently facing a serious and realistic problem.
That is, until now, he still has not confirmed whether the place that Urushihara Ruri mentioned is true or false.
This evil-minded woman might still be telling lies even when she is about to die, trying to drag him down with her to hell. So, just in case, Ji Minghuan must do the necessary investigation in advance.
Therefore, during the time when the black pupa is in suspended animation, this No. 1 body will undertake an extremely dangerous mission.
That is to go to Iceland alone and secretly investigate the exact location of the Salvation Society base.
At that time, the black pupa will hang upside down in the ice and snow of the Hofs Dome, silently observing the glaciers in the white world.
Of course, he didn't dare to act rashly, but even if the figure of the Savior Society appeared in Hei Pupa's field of vision only once, it was enough for Ji Minghuan to confirm the exact location of the base.
Of course, all of this is still just ideal at the moment. If Ji Minghuan cannot use the black pupa to find the exact location of the Savior's base, his plan will be greatly disrupted, and the timing of attacking the Savior must be postponed.
Although he had confidence in Black Pupa's reconnaissance ability, that was the territory of the Salvation Society, their base camp, and he didn't know whether the mentor had set any traps along the way.
That being said, for Ji Minghuan, he could only take one step at a time and make full preparations before the decisive battle.
All his actions so far have been directed towards the same goal: to rescue his true self from the prison cell.
As long as the restrictive agent is removed, as the only restricted-level psychic, he will be the most powerful and unstoppable existence in the entire world. The holder of a mythical-level anecdote can be able to take on an entire country alone, and for a restricted-level psychic who is far above that, it shouldn't be too much to say that he can take on an entire planet alone, right?
At least it was not a problem for him at that time to single-handedly wipe out the power of the Salvation Society.
"So... for the sake of my prison escape plan, my Lord, please acknowledge your age and let me inherit your throne." Thinking of this, the little Nian Beast sighed softly.
It narrowed its eyes and looked silently into the distance of the forest.
A short while had passed since the divine chicken demons reported the news, and now it could already vaguely see the figure of the Nian Beast Lord.
After all, the size of the Nian Beast King was so huge that it was even taller than the huge trees in the forest.
Gazing from a distance, it was a giant purple-red lion, taking slow and firm steps, its pupils sparkling, and its slightly drooping brow ridges showing its majesty.
But the Great Lord had a dark mane on his body, which the little Nian Beast had never seen before.
"Are you sick?" The little Nian Beast raised an eyebrow and stared at the black mane. "Or are you old?"
"It doesn't matter whether it is sick or old, as long as it can inherit the throne to me." It shook its head, dispelled its messy thoughts, and continued to look up.
Behind the Great Lord, a dark blue snake and a massive white wolf followed. The wolf was roughly the same size as the Great Lord, its left eye shrouded in a white film, its pupil gleaming with the light of midnight.
What comes into view is the demonic form of Bai Tanlang, the "Wolf of Daylight".
At that time, Ji Minghuan had seen Bai Tanlang in this form in the mirror auction hall of the Tokyo Auction, but Li Qingping had beaten him badly at that time.
Li Qingping was a natural disaster-level news envoy after all. If he hadn't had to protect the burdensome Second Prince, he would have had no problem taking down half of the brigade's members by himself at that time.
However, the White Crow Brigade is no longer what it used to be. Half of them are at the disaster level, so even if Li Qingping comes again, he will be at a disadvantage.
And just as everyone in the White Crow Brigade said, Bai Tanlang had officially met with the Nian Beast Lord today, so it appeared in the sight of the little Nian Beast at this moment.
I don't know how Bai Tanlang will convince the Lord to cooperate with the White Crow Brigade. Of course, it is more likely that this information will be kept secret, and they will work together inside and outside to carry out a "cooperation" that the Lord Nian Beast will be unaware of from beginning to end.
If the Little Nian Beast looks further away, he can see three strange demons behind the Great Lord and White Greedy Wolf, which are out of tune with the surrounding environment.
These are the seven deadly sins from Northern Europe.
They are "Wrath", "Sloth" and "Gluttony", the last three survivors of the seven deadly sins.
"Rage" was a skeleton-like figure with almost no intact skin on his body. He was tied to a suspended silver-white cross, his eyes wide open. The cross carried him in the air, following behind the Maharaja.
"Sloth" is a blue-haired girl wearing a dark witch costume. She sits on a flying broom, with dark eyeshadow at the corners of her eyes. The dark circles under her eyes are so heavy that it seems as if a piece of black has been smeared on her face.
"Gluttony" is a pile of flesh with an outline like rotten mud. Thousands of rotten human flesh piled together form the body of this demon, mixed with human bones. However, the most eye-catching thing is its head. It has two eyes, one large and one small, and the corners of its mouth are turned down and raised up ferociously.
"That's ugly," the Little Nian Beast smacked its lips. "It seems the Great Lord is truly incompetent, hanging out with these foreign demons... But it's also possible that this generation of Lake Hunters is simply too powerful, forcing Dad to resort to this desperate measure."
The Lord of the Nian Beast and the White Wolf were getting closer and closer. Their rumbling footsteps echoed in the forest, shaking the leaves of the banyan tree and making it fly, as if a red snow was falling.
They walked forward step by step, stepping through the falling red leaves, each step sounding like thunder.
I won’t move unless the enemy moves. The little Nian beast just lay motionless on the branch.
It was like an old monk in meditation, silently staring at the prince's face, thinking in its heart how to make him give up the throne. Could it just rush up and say, "Old thing, you are so old, don't be ungrateful and pass the throne to me"?
The little Nian Beast felt that this was absolutely not acceptable.
First, he had to disguise himself as a mature and steady lion, show enough composure in front of the king, and then show the courage to command thousands of troops.
Now that things have come to this, I might as well go to sleep.
Thinking of this, the little Nian beast yawned, closed his eyes, and felt sleepy.
The footsteps of the Great Lord were getting closer and closer in the darkness. After a while, the Great Lord Nian Beast had already arrived near the waterfall and stopped under the banyan tree.
It raised its head slightly, squinted its eyes, and looked through the flying red leaves at the little Nian beast that was sleeping soundly on the branch.
The green snake demon also stopped. It raised its ice-blue eyes and looked at the little Nian beast lying on the tree in surprise. After a moment, it sighed and lowered its head to look at the ground.
It seemed that he could no longer bear to observe the Maharaja's reaction.
The son, who had not seen his father for ten years, actually ignored his father and fell asleep on the tree so heartlessly. Anyone would find this an incredible scene.
In the dead silence, the Nian Beast King raised his head and stared at the little Nian Beast silently.
Thousands of demons in the forest fell silent, even Rage, Gluttony and Sloth stopped silently behind the Lord. At this moment, only a cold lake breeze blew, causing the maple leaves to twirl and fall, rustling in the vast forest.
"Is this... the child of Lord Nian?" The Slothful Demon raised his eyes from under his wizard hat.
"It seems to be true." The figure of the angry demon suddenly raised his head from the cross.
"The Son of Nian really exists..." A hoarse cry came from the pile of flesh of the gluttonous demon. It was the voice of one person, but it also seemed to be the echo of thousands of people in the mountain of flesh.
There was also some surprise in Bai Tanlang's eyes. He thought that the little Nian beast had been killed and died at the hands of the exorcist ten years ago. He didn't expect that it was just as the green snake demon said. The little Nian beast suddenly returned to the mountains after ten years.
It looked at the little Nian beast in astonishment, then glanced at the king out of the corner of its eye, thinking that the king would be furious and grab the little lion from the tree and scold it.
But the prince just looked at the little Nian beast silently, his dark blue eyes were filled with thousands of thoughts, but also so quiet that they seemed empty.
After a long while, the Nian Beast Lord suddenly sneered softly, and a hoarse voice came out of his mouth, "This kid... is still the same as before."
It withdrew its gaze, lowered its footsteps slightly, and slowly walked over from under the tree. Its figure was still calm and majestic, as if it was not shaken at all.
Seeing this, Bai Tanlang and Qingshe Demon didn't say much. They just looked at each other and followed the king. Three of the seven deadly sins were the same, so outsiders had no right to comment.
After a while, they crossed the rushing waterfall and entered the ancient temple.
The thunderous footsteps disappeared, and the forest returned to silence, as if covered by a layer of silent fog, but the whispers of the demons could be heard in the fog.
The little Nian beast fell into a deep sleep.
Saliva flowed from the corners of its mouth and dripped onto the head of the lantern demon hanging on the tree, causing it to flicker and sway like a malfunctioning flashlight.
At the same time, Lijing, China.
It was already bright outside. The sun rose from the city horizon, and a huge sun disk was reflected on the glass curtain walls of the tall buildings. Electric cars were passing by on the streets and alleys.
It is already August 18th in China. At this time, high school students have started school early to prepare for the university entrance examination. Therefore, you can see students in dark blue school uniforms walking on the street with their backpacks on their backs, looking down at their vocabulary books.
At this moment, César was wearing a T-shirt and trousers, sitting at a roadside snack stall, eating soy milk and fried dough sticks.
And in his shirt pocket, a little shark popped out half of its head, waving its fin and pointing seriously, teaching him in all seriousness how to eat fried dough sticks.
While nodding his head "Oh oh", Xizel carefully and quietly tore the fried dough sticks into pieces, carefully soaked them in iced soy milk, and then ate them with a spoon.
"It's delicious, just like eating ice cream!" Xizel's eyes lit up and he licked his lips.
"Yeah, yeah, Shark likes fried dough sticks soaked in iced soy milk the most." The little shark in the pocket hummed.
"So, what do we do next, Yagubaru?" asked Cesar.
"No need to do anything." Little Shark held his fin and said calmly, "Just focus on your training and get ready. When you become a top-level Wonderbender, you can just bring five Generation-level Wonderbenders to the Salvation Society's base and wreak havoc. Then throw out all the Titanic, Loch Ness Monster, and Phoenix. Won't they be scared and run around?"
It has thought that "Ruth", the captain of the Royal Court team, who is bound to two generation-level wonders, already has the strength of a disaster level. If five generation-level wonder fragments are used at the same time, how much stronger will Xizel be?
Normal people cannot resonate with so many generation-level wonders, but Xizel is also a genius of all ages, the son of wonders. I am afraid that no wonder fragment in the world will reject him.
Of course, I don’t know about the mythical fragments, after all, they are too difficult to find.
"Come to think of it, when that time comes, will Mr. Blue Arc and Mr. Ghost Bell come to help us?" Xizel took a sip of the cold and smooth soy milk, then asked softly.
"Of course, Shark can guarantee it."
"That's good. The people in the Savior Society are so powerful. The two of us alone are far from enough. Mr. Ghost Bell is a time-based ability user, Mr. Blue Arc is also very powerful, not to mention Mr. Su Wei..."
Xi Ze paused, his expression suddenly a little lost. "If only Mr. Black Pupa was still here, it would be great. He's so smart and capable. With him around, everything always seems to go smoothly."
"A big moth is just so-so, not as good as a shark's tooth." The little shark showed a row of shiny teeth, and César picked up a piece of broken fried dough stick with chopsticks and put it into its mouth.
"But... why would Mr. Blue Arc and the others help us?" Xizel hesitated, "They've already succeeded in their revenge."
"How can you say they succeeded in revenge? Didn't Black Pupa die?" Yagubaru said as he munched on a fried dough stick. "Their revenge isn't over yet. A family member just died. Great!"
"But Mr. Blue Arc said at the funeral that they were about to let it go. What he said is true... If we lose more loved ones for revenge, then what is the point of revenge?" Xizel said softly, "I think he's right. We shouldn't force them to take risks for us."
"Don't worry about the adults' affairs. They will definitely come to help us anyway."
"Why……"
"Why so many whys?!" Little Shark was furious. "Shark's friends haven't been rescued from the Savior Society yet! Shark must whip them with a small whip to make the Horrible Clock Tower Man and the Horrible Electric Rat continue to work."
Xizel was silent for a while, lowered his head guiltily, and stared blankly at the oil residue floating in the soy milk.
After a moment, he nodded gently, "Well, okay, then let's go visit Mr. Blue Arc and the others first and ask for their opinions, and then go meet the people from the White Crow Brigade."
"Brigade?" Little Shark narrowed his eyes. "Why is there a brigade?"
"The captain sent me a text message saying their people have arrived in Lijing. We can go meet them when we have time. Sister Ripper gave me a lot of money last time, and I haven't spent it all yet."
"They are not good people. Be careful that the Ripper will cut you into pieces." Little Shark said darkly, "They must want to use you to do bad things. We can't be fooled."
"It's okay. I'm not a good person either." Xizel smiled. "At worst, we can just kill them all."
The little shark shuddered and silently put his head back into Cesar's pocket.
"Let's go, I'm full."
César stood up from the wooden bench and paid the snack stand owner by scanning the QR code with WeChat. The morning breeze blew over with the summer heat, and his snow-white hair fluttered.
He tugged at his T-shirt, lowered his head and exhaled, then walked through a cold, deserted street towards the bus stop.
I leaned against the telephone pole and waited for a while, then got on the bus.
The bus was shaking, he leaned his head against the window and closed his eyes, mottled light and shadow fell on his face, his drooping eyelids looked like a piece of snow.
After a while, the bus arrived at the station.
Xizel thanked the driver, got out of the car, and after walking for a while, he stopped in front of a three-story residential building.
"This is it," said Cesar.
He lowered his head to look at the address on the note, then looked up at the "warning line" set up next to the residential building. Ever since the uninhabited island incident, Gu Qinye had become an out-and-out wanted criminal. The people from Hongyi had obviously come to their door and blocked the residential building where they had lived.
However, today Xizel received a text message that Gu Qiye and his family of three took Miss Ke’s train demon back to Lijing. They wanted to take some of Gu Wenyu’s belongings away from home.
So, now they seem to have sneaked into the residential building.
As long as you open the door and walk through the entrance, you can see them.
Xizel was worried that he would be mistaken for a police officer who came to arrest someone, so after sending a message to Gu Qinye, he stopped in front of the door and coughed several times.
After waiting for a while, he knocked on the door gently a few times as a secret code, and then let the little shark in his pocket pry the door open with its teeth.
Then he pushed the door open, walked through the empty entrance hall, and looked up at the dim living room.
At this time, the whole house was empty, the TV was off, and the low curtains blocked the light outside the window.
"Strange, where are they..." Cesar murmured.
Suddenly, a deep blue flash of lightning rose from the corner of the living room. Xizel turned around abruptly and saw a violent lightning bolt rushing towards him, but it stopped just in front of his nose. A low roar tore through the air and poured into his ears.
"What do you mean, you scary electric rat! Do you want to bully César in front of Shark?" The little shark poked his head out of his pocket.
Xizel was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses from his momentary shock.
He raised his eyes from his five fingers that were glowing with lightning and looked at the other person's face helplessly.
"So it's you..." The young man with medium-length black hair raised his eyebrows and lowered his right hand that was suspended in the air. The lightning on his fingertips dissipated. "Why didn't you tell me before you came?"
"I've already sent a text message, okay? It's just that you didn't reply, Mr. Blue Arc." After saying that, Xizel covered his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the remaining arcs in the air with a bad temper.
"Sorry, there have been a lot of people coming to see us recently." Gu Qinye smiled apologetically.
"Hmph, Shark, I'll forgive you first." The little shark said while holding his fin.
Xizel looked around, "Mr. Lan Hu, Miss Su Zimai, and Mr. Gui Zhong, aren't they here?"
"They are on the second floor. What are you doing here?" Gu Qinye said as he sat down on the sofa.
"I came here to discuss with you the matter of Yagubaru's friend."
"Friends of this shark?" Gu Qinye glanced sideways from the sofa at Xizel's pocket.
"Hmm." Xizel thought for a moment, then lowered his head and poked Little Shark's head with his finger. "His friend is called 'Ji Minghuan'. We are going to the headquarters of the Salvation Society to rescue him."
