Chapter 20
"Do you want to call the police?" Jin asked hesitantly.
Sugawara Yoshiyo shook his head: "These should be his scales. The police can't solve our current problem."
Zenyuan Shen'er sniffed the boy's breath, and after confirming he hadn't caused any casualties, he began to observe the boy's injuries. "The most serious ones are protective scars, followed by scrapes. It looks like he rolled violently twice on a hilltop."
The scars on the boy's body were horrific. Zenyuan Jiner looked at the woman who put the book into her bag and asked, "Is everything okay?"
Sugawara Yoshiyo nodded, but she was still a little scared because she had never thought that her workbook, which was so thick that she could never finish it, would be stolen.
"Let's wake him up first and see what he wants to do." said Yoshiyo Sugawara.
Haku had a bad feeling before being sent here to steal things, and he had no way to disobey Yubaba's orders, so he had to come here even though his previous injuries had not healed yet.
Originally thought to steal a book from a human being would be very easy, but when the wound on his back hit the stone so hard that he lost consciousness due to the pain, Bai Long realized that he had overturned.
The water splashed on his face made Bailong gradually regain consciousness. He propped himself up and found that he was lying on the tatami, surrounded by humans.
To be more precise, not entirely human.
The young woman in a yukata sitting on the chair was staring at him. Bai Long had a feeling that he was completely seen through. Feeling inexplicably embarrassed, the boy turned his head away to avoid looking at her.
Haku inexplicably thought of his teacher Yubaba. Haku was also in awe when facing the powerful witch.
But it was obvious that the woman who was the victim was not going to let him go.
"Who are you or what are you?" Sugawara Yoshiyo shook the scales in front of the boy: "Who asked you to steal my book?"
The white dragon didn't expect that his scales would be knocked off while fighting with humans. You know, dragon scales are very strong and have ancient magic, and cannot be easily broken.
"You should know that scales and blood are very good media. If you are unwilling to tell the truth, I can only use some other means." Sugawara Yoshiyo said.
The boy's expression changed, and he hesitated for a moment: "My name is Xiaobai, and it was Yubaba who asked me to steal the black book."
"Who is Yubaba?" asked Sugawara Yoshiyo.
"Yubaba is a powerful witch and the owner of the bathhouse 'Yuya'," said Haku.
"Bathhouse" Jin stood up. The place where they lived was also called a bathhouse.
"Yubaba's bathhouse is not in the human world, but in another hidden world." Haku replied.
"Xiaobai sounds more like a nickname. What's your real name?" Chanyuan Shener asked suddenly. If he knew the real name, he could set some constraints to make this kid more obedient.
The boy's face showed a bit of confusion: "I, I can't remember my name. Xiaobai is the name my mother-in-law gave me."
A name is the shortest spell. Looking at the boy's confused expression, Sugawara Yoshiyo felt that perhaps he had forgotten his name completely because of magic.
"What is the world of hidden gods like?" Zenyuan Shener asked curiously. It would be too disappointing if all gods were as weak as this Xiaobai.
"That is a world not suitable for human habitation. The inhabitants of the Kamikakushi world are monsters, gods, witches and other creatures. Yubaba runs a bathhouse in the world of gods, providing a place for customers to take a bath." Haku said, his light-colored pupils staring straight at Zenin Shir.
Sugawara Yoshiyo supported her face with her hand, thinking that the boy's willingness to tell everything he knew was quite interesting. It was not difficult to tell what kind of character Xiaobai had from just a few words.
"Why do you want to serve Yubaba?" asked Sugawara Yoshiyo. The boy could fight Zenin Jin'er on equal terms and could live well anywhere.
Bailong shook his head: "I have nowhere to go, so in order to become stronger, I went to the world of gods to learn magic from Yubaba."
"Your teacher taught you to steal? Why don't you just change a teacher?" Zenyuan Jiner said. The injuries on the boy's body were also explained. It was definitely not the first time that Yubaba had driven Xiaobai like this.
The Death Book of the God of Death is a valuable item coveted by witches. Yubaba, who is interested in such a thing, must have good taste. Every place Haku goes to will only become more dangerous than the last.
Bai Long seemed to want to refute, but he spat out a mouthful of blood as soon as he opened his mouth. He covered his chest with his hands, his face pale, and stumbled outside.
Zenin Shin'er tried to stop him, but was slapped aside by a green tail.
The young man in white clothes and wooden clogs disappeared, and the little white dragon covered with bruises struggled to fly outside.
Zenyuan Shener did not stop him because he noticed that Bailong's pupils were dilated and out of control.
"Just letting him go like that?" Jin frowned. "If that Yubaba covets Miss Sugawara's treasure, she will come back again."
"No one can take this book away." Sugawara Yoshiyo said. This thing is not a Death Note that anyone can use it if they pick it up.
"Don't let this affect your mood, let's go to the open-air hot spring." said Yoshiyo Sugawara.
Compared to the two boys, Sugawara Yoshiyo's yukata was too troublesome to take off.
After she took off her belt layer by layer, she found that the black book was reacting faintly.
The subtle connection gave Sugawara Yoshiyo a premonition. She opened the book and looked at the new page that seemed to appear and disappear. The name of the mitigation early mitigation Amber Lord was faintly visible.
Xiaobai's real name is Hayami Amber. Sugawara Yoshiyo took a deep breath and began to put on her clothes layer by layer.
While waiting, Zenin Shin'er leaned on the cushion and chatted with Jin: "What do you think the bathhouse in the world of God is like?"
Sugawara Yoshiyo pushed open the door and said, "If you're interested, how about going to take a look together?"
"Is it really okay for us to go to the hidden world?" Jin said with a worried look on his face.
Sugawara Yoshiyo looked at the silly child who had sold his labor to her all his life. The way they were bound together made it impossible for anyone, not even Yubaba, to capture him.
As for the young man mentioned earlier, he was now lost in thought: "Are you sure?"
Sugawara Yoshiyo took out a few gold bars from her bag and said in a very lavish manner: "Will Yubaba's bathhouse chase away customers?"
"The gods should have ways to tell whether we are human or not," said Chanyuan Shen'er.
"I remember there's a century-old statue in the bathhouse hall. I think I can get away with it by borrowing the statue's covering," said Sugawara Yoshiyo.
"What if I can't get away with it?" Jin was a little worried.
"Then the gods will be in trouble." Sugawara Yoshiyo smiled and pulled out a knife from his sleeve. He pushed the scabbard upwards with his thumb, and the blade flashed with a cold light.
Rich combat experience allowed Chanyuan Shener to straighten his body at such a close distance and prepare for battle. It took him two seconds to slowly relax his body.
Zen Yuan Shier had seen the exquisite and ancient sleeve sword many times, but had never seen her pull it out.
Now the Zen monk saw that this was definitely not a decorative knife, but a bloodthirsty knife.
The Zenyuan family has a secret family technique called "Falling Flower Love", which is a technique that uses a knife that requires the input of mana to fight against the field.
Although the need for mana prevented Zenin Shiro from learning, he still learned the basic sword styles.
The double-edged sword and the single-edged knife are so cold that it seems as if anyone who gets close to them will be hurt by the murderous aura.
After sheathing the knife and putting it back into his sleeve, the flash of murderous intent seemed to be just an illusion.
"Are you a swordsman?" asked Zenin Shin'er.
Sugawara Yoshiyo shook his head: "I once had the honor of studying with a teacher for three months."
"Three months" Zenyuan didn't believe it. Even if he had an extremely strong body, it would be impossible for him to master a weapon in such a short time and practice it to such a level.
"It's true, three months of hellish training. My swordsmanship teacher is very old and very strict. I often suspect that he has eyes all over the back of his head." said Sugawara Yoshiyo.
An older version of Kenshin Himura with a face full of eyes appeared in Jin's mind, and then he threw the strange thing out of his head with force.
Sugawara Yoshiyo looked at the boy twice, thinking that he was sad because he had no news from his family, and pulled the boy into a corner.
"Don't worry, I've tried my best to post the news on overseas missing person forums. Look at it in a positive light, maybe your family didn't see it because they have already come to Japan to look for you." said Yoshiyo Sugawara.
Jin nodded. He was a little distressed when he thought about his current situation. What should he say when he sees his family?
Zen Yuan Shen'er's attention was on the other side: "How can we pretend to be gods?"
Sugawara Yoshiyo bowed before the statue enshrined in the bathhouse, then promptly removed the cloths covering the statue and said, "This one, the biggest one, will be given to Shinji."
"You have no reverence for the gods at all." Chanyuan Shener complained.
"You have no right to criticize me in this regard," Sugawara Yoshiyo replied.
Finding an overlapping space is not difficult, especially when the white dragon left behind blood and scales when it left.
Before stepping into another bizarre world, Sugawara Yoshiyo, wearing a turtle mask, looked at the two people beside him and said, "Once you go in, you will probably encounter some strange things. Be prepared."
The world of gods looks no different from the hot spring town outside. Some buildings even look more fashionable than those outside, with the style of the 1970s and 1980s.
The monsters all walked in one direction. Zenyuan Shener carefully avoided a strange-looking creature and looked up to see the bustling bathhouse.
A green monster came out to greet them enthusiastically: "Dear guests, please follow me in. Our hot spring house is famous far and wide, and even the gods have praised its goodness."
□□ can actually grow a mustache. Jin complained silently in his heart, feeling that his common sense over the years had been partially challenged.
After entering the bathhouse, Jin inadvertently raised his head and saw a young man in servant clothes running past at high speed.
The boy's face was very familiar, and Jin could see it every day when he looked in the mirror.
The sudden headache made Jin unable to stand steadily. Zenyuan Shener helped the young man, but he didn't expect that the problem would occur as soon as he entered the bathhouse.
After Sugawara Yoshiyo paid, she saw a serious-looking Zenin Shonori approaching her. "That witch Yubaba not only tricked the children into stealing, but she also took Jin's brother and forced him to work as a laborer in the bathhouse!"
