Chapter 35

The cursed weapon flashing with cold light was pulled out from the target's chest, and Zenyuan Shen'er shook off the blood on the blade expressionlessly. He hadn't done such a thing for several years, and he didn't expect that he would still feel no awkwardness when he picked it up again.

Sure enough, he was born to do this kind of thing.

Chanyuan Shen'er recalled the surprised expression on Kong Shiyu's face when he found him just now. It was different from that of other people. Kong Shiyu had some friendship with him, so he knew how determined Chanyuan Shen'er was when he quit this circle.

"What's wrong? Life as a househusband is hard, so you come to me, an old friend, to reminisce?" The intelligence dealer from South Korea said to him jokingly, holding a cigarette in his mouth.

Zenin Shin'er's voice was even hoarser than the man smoking in front of him: "Arrange a mess for me, close to Sendai, so I can get it done quickly."

If the location of his mission was too far away and took too long, he was afraid something might happen at home... and he wouldn't be able to make it back.

The monastery had never needed money so much, lots of money. However, sadly, no matter how much money was spent, it could not be used to prolong the life of his beloved, but only to prevent her from being tortured too much by illness for the rest of her days.

Kong Shiyu was so frightened that the cigarette fell out of his mouth, but he didn't even notice it. He listened to his former partner talking about his requests bit by bit.

"Also, help me find out if there are any spells or supernatural powers that can cure diseases. The price doesn't matter." Zen Yuan Shen'er said to himself. He actually had some information in this area because of the mission requirements in the past.

Possessing healing abilities is extremely rare in both the sorcerer and the psychic circles. Two of the more famous ones are a sorcerer who possesses a reversal spell, and the other is the angel of death that is popular among psychics, but neither of them can cure his wife's terminal illness.

Kong Shiyu opened his mouth and wanted to say something to ease his anger, but in the end, nothing came out. He grabbed a handful of his already messy hair, and then went over to help find a task that met the requirements.

As he was searching, Kong Shiyu suddenly remembered something: "I don't have the information you want about the sorcerer and the psychic who can cure diseases, but maybe you can keep an eye out for it."

"You've been a househusband for the past two years and haven't paid attention to what's happening in your circle, so you may not know that a new type of existence called city consciousness has emerged. Compared to humans, they are like gods..."

After receiving the mission, Zenin Shinji immediately went to do it without stopping for a moment. It was not that he did not want to investigate whether there was any city awareness that could save his wife, but Kong Shiyu was an expert in intelligence gathering. The sorcerer killer was usually good at solving one mission target after another, handing the blood-stained money to the intelligence dealer, and then the dealer would use personal connections or coercion or inducement to get the information they wanted to know.

This time, the Zen temple even had three consecutive days of missions. The killer's mission was not so easy to do, and the targets would not all stand there openly waiting for the cursed weapon to cut their necks. They would hire people to protect themselves and find themselves an absolutely hidden residence.

The former was basically useless to Zen Yuan Shen'er, but the latter took him three full days to find.

As soon as the mission was completed, he set off for home without stopping.

He has a seriously ill wife and a toddler son at home. The nature of his job does not allow him to hire someone to take care of them at home, and he has not been able to go home for three days. When Chan Yuan Shen'er thought about the possible problems that might arise, his face suddenly turned very bad.

It was so bad that a big injured bird with white wings landed in front of him, but he walked away without even looking at it.

Shinichi Hinata who turned into a big bird waiting to get into trouble: "..."

Sendai is a person of a rather Buddhist character, and he simply commented on this: "He didn't seize the opportunity given to him."

"I thought you liked him very much." Shinichi Hinawa was a little surprised. After all, it was Sendai who took the initiative to find Tokyo to recommend someone. He also read the chat records, and it looked like a mama-san who wanted to recommend the top star. It was very ooc.

"No, I like the Zenin family, not Zenin Jyou. Ah, what a lovely girl and child." Sendai blew on his red nails with golden patterns nonchalantly, and urged Hirin Shinichi to go to another place to make trouble. "Since this place doesn't work, just go to the Zenin family directly. The girl might help you bandage your wings carefully."

Shinichi Hinawa: "..." The Zen temples that Sendai was talking about could not be the many Zen temples in Kyoto. So there are only three Zen temples in Sendai. Excluding the Zen temple Shi'er that he despised, the "little girl" and the "child" are obviously...

He figured out that Sendai was so actively promoting Tokyo, perhaps just to trick Zenin Shinji into going to Tokyo so that he could take possession of his wife and children.

Before Hinata could even finish his complaint, Xiantai urged him to hurry up: "Hurry up, hurry up, if you don't go over, Zenin Shier will be home soon."

However, just as Hinawa Shinichi was about to take off, he was criticized by him: "No, no, the feathers are too monotonous and don't look good."

Are you going there to scam people or for a blind date? Hinawa Shinichi held back his desire to complain and spent quite some time transforming himself into a satisfied Sentai before spreading his wings and flying in one direction at a speed far exceeding that of birds.

Such a troublesome method of fraud was definitely not thought up by Shinichi Hirin. He could have gone directly to Zenin Shinji to make a deal, or simply visited Mrs. Zenin at her home and turned into a wounded crane to fraud. He did this just because Sendai was clamoring to fit in with his character.

Similar to the background stories of other cities, Sendai is also based on the monsters in traditional stories, but what is a little more complicated is that it is not based on a specific bird monster, but a mixture of multiple bird monsters.

This means that while he can transform into different birds, he also has the characteristics of multiple bird monsters.

Among the more famous bird monster stories in Japan, the story of the crane repaying a favor is probably the most well-known. In order to repay the kind people who helped her, the crane mixed its feathers with silk threads and wove gorgeous cloth for them. This is also the story that Shinichi Hinawa uses to scam people.

Of course there are more terrifying stories, but Sendai said that they would be more likely to scare children, so they will probably be kept secret for the time being.

In a private house in Sendai City.

The house is of Japanese architecture with a large courtyard. The long corridor is warmed by the afterglow of the setting sun. Zenin Natsuko sometimes basks in the sun here and watches her children perform various shadow puppetry movements in the warm sunlight.

This kind of life sounds very comfortable, but it has only been possible in recent months because... her condition has worsened.

The doctor suggested that she live in a quieter place and breathe more fresh air. So the person who had finally learned how to make delicious bento left the kitchen and moved her home here that day.

"Ah, Mommy!" Two-year-old Zenin Hui is still at the stage of not speaking fluently, but at this moment she is grabbing new and interesting things to show off to her mother.

It was a beautiful feather. Birds usually have beautiful feathers to attract the attention of the opposite sex.

It's as if to say that even if I waste important energy to grow these feathers that have no practical use, I can still survive well. Someone as strong as me is more worthy of your choice.

Thinking of the teacher's vivid narration in class, Zenin Natsuko smiled softly. She didn't plan to share this story with her young son for the time being. She touched Zenin Hui's soft head and asked, "Where did Xiaohui find it?"

"Here!" The chubby little boy pointed to the back of the courtyard.

So Zenin Natsuko walked over slowly holding her son's hand, perhaps out of curiosity. After all, her husband had not been home for three days. The days of recuperation were boring and tedious. Occasionally, a little fun in life could make her savor it for a long time.

It was as if a beam of light suddenly shone into the dark room. Many years later, Zenin Natsuko could never forget that afternoon.

The pure white feathers reflecting the golden glow, the slender feet and long neck, as well as the touch of vermilion on the top, are scenes that only appear in paintings.

It is a pity that the beautiful bird's wing was injured and was hanging pitifully to the side.

Zenin Natsuko used to be a little girl with a strong sense of justice, and now she is also a kind-hearted lady. This is a scene she cannot refuse.

It was for this reason that Xiantai insisted on coming to make trouble. While the wound on the wings of Shinichi Hirin, who had transformed into a crane, was being treated, he could be heard complaining: "Hey, how could such a perfect girl fall for Zenin Shinobu?"

While complaining, he also gave instructions to Shinichi Hinawa: "Hang your head down a bit, yes, you need to have that feeling of powerlessness and weakness. Xia Zi has the softest heart and will definitely carry you back carefully."

Shinichi Hinawa, who didn't really want to be carried back: "..."

Although he was helpless, he still followed Sendai's idea. Hirin Shinichi wanted to hear Sendai's next plan, but his voice suddenly became sharp: "No, let's go straight to the last step! Zenin Shinji is back!"

Originally, Xiantai divided this fraud scene into three parts, but because a lot of time was spent on making the first part look better, the second part of the scene had not even started yet and the person who disturbed him was already less than a hundred meters away from the house.

The planned script was disrupted, so only the wound of the big bird was treated, but a dazzling golden light emanated in front of Zenin Natsuko.

At the same time, Zenin Shier, who was very close to home, saw something strange happening at home, and abandoned the door a few steps away, and directly climbed over the wall to come in, and then he saw——

The beautiful lady in a white kimono with gold edges lifted his wife's chin with one hand: "My kind lady, you will be rewarded for your kindness. Are you willing to go to the hidden land with me?"
