Chapter 898 The Whereabouts of the King's Face
The swaying wind and rain fell on the uninhabited mountain road, and a figure in a pure black kimono was wearing a red paper umbrella and climbed up the steps.
The rain drips down the edge of the paper umbrella, and the paper umbrella is lifted lightly, and the surface of the water droplets reflects a handsome face.
Ding Ding Ding--!
A crisp phone ringing sounded.
The figure paused slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, he took out his cell phone from his arms and put it in his ears.
"Hello?"
"Hey?! Brother Yugong!"
"Little Youli? What's the matter?"
"I'm going to that cliff again today! Guess what I found!!"
Hearing Yurina's tone so excited, Aumi Haruki was stunned. Thinking of a possibility, a flash of hope flashed across his eyes.
"He's back?!"
"No, I found an old man!"
“…”
"This old man also floated over with the current, and when I picked him up, his time was also frozen, exactly the same as Brother Qiye at that time!" Yurina became more and more excited as she spoke, "I feel that he might be from the same place as Brother Qiye!"
An old man from the same place as Lin Qiye?
Isn’t that Daxia?
Yugong Qinghui raised her eyebrows.
"Can he understand what we say?"
"I don't seem to understand. After waking up, he sat in the corner silently. He ignored me no matter how I talked to him."
"...I understand. When I finish what I have on hand, I will go to Feng Jijia to take a look."
"Brother Yugong, have you not found the last Fujin sword?"
"not yet."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you at Feng Jijia."
"Um."
Yumyeon Qinghui hung up the phone and walked along the mountain road for a long time. After searching for the entire mountain, she sighed helplessly.
"Is the prophecy given by Shota today wrong again..."
He shook his head, held a paper umbrella, and turned around and walked towards the road down the mountain.
...
"At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, a gang of injured people occurred in Shinsaibashi again. A drunk thug resident broke into the gold store with a knife. After stabbing the store manager ten times, he stole all the valuable gold tools in the store. The store manager fell to the ground and asked passers-by for help. No one extended a helping hand, and eventually died of excessive bleeding..."
"...As of yesterday, within this week, there have been 132 incidents of vicious injuries to passers-by in Osaka, with casualties involving thousands of people. The Osaka Police Station lacks peacekeeping staff. At present, the black and killing team has intervened in an armed manner to suppress all vicious riots in Kansai area instead of the police and maintain the situation..."
"...Here, Shuguang Radio reminds all residents not to go out unless necessary. If you find yourself suffering from red eyes, insomnia, inexplicable mania, etc., please go to the nearby hospital for isolation and treatment as soon as possible..."
Pick-!
In the Japanese-style courtyard of Feng Jijia, Yurina turned off the radio switch and stood up from the tatami.
Not long ago, the [Night Screen] team cut off [Pure Land], shutting down 92% of electronic devices in the "people circle". All TV and large electronic screens cannot be enabled, and all TV stations have been shut down. Now, the entire Japanese country can only use radio, which is relatively energy-consuming, to transmit information.
"This world is getting more and more messy..." Yurina sighed, went into the kitchen to make a cup of tea, held it in her hand, and walked to the corner of the room.
There, an old man with white hair was looking up at the cherry blossom trees floating outside the window, dazed and dazed.
The breeze blew, blew up the pale hair on his temples, and a few pink cherry blossoms fell on the back of his wrinkled hands in the wind. He sat there blankly, his eyes dull, like a stone statue with a distraught soul.
In his hand, he was holding a mask with the word "king" written on it. A fine crack broke out in the center of the mask, as if it was hitting somewhere.
"Grandpa, have a glass of water?" Yurina handed the teacup in her hand to the old man and said softly.
The king's face was unmoved.
Yurina pursed her lips, put the steaming teacup next to him, and patiently gestured with both hands. It was probably meant to tell Wang Mian that this cup of tea is not poisonous and can be drunk.
After gesturing for a long time, Wang Meng still ignored her and remained motionless.
Yurina, who was sweating profusely, seemed a little angry. She stood up from the tatami, frowned and muttered resentfully: "Why is this person so stupid? I can't understand after playing for a long time... It seems that people in Daxia are not all as smart as Brother Qiye."
After hearing the last half of the sentence, Wang Mian was slightly stunned.
He turned his head suddenly to look at Yurina, spread his dry lips and asked in obscure Japanese: "Daxia? How do you know Daxia?"
This time it was Yurina's turn to be stunned.
"Do you understand Japanese?!" Yurina stamped her feet in anger, "Then I've talked to you for a long time, why did you ignore me?"
Wang Mian looked straight into her eyes and repeated the question again, "How do you know Daxia?"
"Because Brother Qiye floated over from the sea, and his body was frozen by time at that time, just like when you came... Brother Qiye told me that he came from Daxia."
"Brother Qiye?"
"It's Asaha Qiye." Yuri paused and added, "His original name is Lin Qiye."
Lin Qiye?
Hearing this familiar name, Wang Meng's eyes flashed a few glimmers, and he leaned against the wall in a daze, smiling bitterly.
What a coincidence...
After being awakened by Yurina, Wang Mian only took a short time to realize where this was.
As the captain of the [Mask] team, he knew that the foggy gods had "people circles". He also heard about the fact that [Night] had just returned from the "people circle" in Japan, and he probably knew about the situation inside the "people circle".
The most important thing is that as the agent of the gods, he promised the God of Time to help him take out something from Gao Tianyuan.
In order to take out this thing, Wang Mian started preparing a long time ago, which of course also included learning Japanese and a brief analysis of Japaneseization. He knew that one day he would embark on the journey of finding Gaotianyuan.
But he never expected that before he took the initiative to find Gao Tianyuan, he was directly involved in Japan's "people circle" by the currents. Moreover, the first person he saw when he opened his eyes, he actually knew Lin Qiye...
All of this is a coincidence.
If it were before, Wang Mian would have explored this "circle of people" curiously and searched for the traces of Gao Tianyuan, but now... he is not in this mood.
Whether it is the "circle of people", Gao Tianyuan, or the agreement with the God of Time, it is no longer important.
As early as the moment when he was awakened by Yurina on the shore and relieved the stagnation of time, Wang Mian's first thought was to immediately go back to the [Mask] before entering the fishing village, to stop all this and save his brother's life.
But he found that he couldn't do it...
because,
His lifespan is no longer enough.
