Chapter 594 – Gift of the Gods

　　By the time Lin Qiye opened his eyes again, Yuzurina had already written a line on a piece of paper and displayed it in front of Lin Qiye.

　　The Japanese that originally seemed unintelligible to Lin Qiye could easily understand its meaning at this moment.Are you deaf?

　　Lin Qiye wasn’t very surprised to see this line, after all, based on his previous behavior, it wasn’t surprising that this little girl would have this misunderstanding.

　　Lin Qiye nodded.

　　Yuzurina wore an expression that said it all as she leaned down and wrote something on the paper again, holding it up.What’s your name?

　　Seeing this question, Lin Qiye froze for a moment and shook his head.

　　He took the pen in Yuzurina’s hand and wrote a line on the paper.I don’t remember.

　　Although Lin Qiye had mastered the Japanese language, he didn’t know much about names, and instead of stiffly giving himself a messy name, he might as well play dumb to avoid some follow up questions and make it easier for him to ask some common sense questions later.

　　Yuzurina’s gaze towards Lin Qiye had a few more points of pity in it.

　　Not only is he deaf in both ears, when he killed himself he even hit his head?…… How pitiful.

　　After hesitating for a moment, she still wrote a sentence on the paper and firmly showed it in front of Lin Qiye s eyes.You can see, our family is in a bad situation, even I can not feed myself and Grandma Crane, even less to take care of you, if you really have no place to go, you can stay here for the night, and tomorrow you will leave on your own. But don’t tell anyone you’ve seen me after you go out, I’m still being tracked by the police.

　　Lin Qiye’s eyebrows raised as he wrote:Why are those cops tracking you?

　　Yuzurina was silent for a moment, but still wrote:Because I tried to commit suicide.Attempted to commit suicide? Is that against the law?It’s a felony to end one’s life without an oracle’s judgment, don’t you know that?

　　Lin Qiye froze.

　　An oracle?

　　Suicide is a felony?

　　Yuzurina thought up that Lin Qiye had a brain crash and continued writing on the paper again:By the way, how many generations of folk are you? What’s the number? If you go to the police station and check your name and family, you’ll know right away, right?

　　The puzzlement in Lin Qiye’s eyes intensified.

　　Seeing Lin Qiye’s eyes full of puzzlement, Yuzuru Rina helplessly sighed and pulled down her collar a bit, revealing a small string of numbers printed on her shoulders: 42857494.Everyone is left numbered by the Jodo when they are born, and this number at the very beginning is your generation, I’m a 4th generation Min, Grandma Tsuru is a 2nd generation Min, and I see that you’re just a little bit older than me, so you should be a 4th generation Min as well.

　　After reading Yuzurina’s words, Lin Qiye’s brows furrowed slightly.

　　Branding everyone’s body with a number?

　　How does this feel …… so much like a prison? Or perhaps a free-range ranch?

　　Lin Qiye remembered that some ranches in Da Xia would brand numbers on their own free-range cattle and sheep to make it easier to retrieve them after they got lost, and also to distinguish their own cattle and sheep from those of other families.

　　But to do so in the human body, will not be a little too much?

　　And how do they make sure that no children are born outside the hospital? How do they brand all newborns with a number? What if there were leaks?

　　Lin Qiye wrote down his doubts on a piece of paper.

　　Yuzurina stared at Lin Qiye in surprise for a long time, seemingly amazed.

　　But after a moment, she still put up her pen and wrote on the paper:From the beginning of the Generation Min, all women who enter the waiting period must be introduced to the Pure Land, give birth there, and wait until two months before leaving from the Pure Land with the child, and it is absolutely impossible for hospitals to help people deliver babies.So what if someone secretly gives birth somewhere else by himself?It’s impossible, the number on each person has the function of sign detection, and once they enter the gestation period they will be locked by the Pure Land and forcibly introduced into the Pure Land. Starting from one generation of folk, the generations continued downwards, so it was absolutely impossible for someone to be able to avoid the detection of the Pure Land and give birth to a child outside of the Pure Land.

　　Lin Qiye’s brows tightened.Pure Land, what exactly is it?

　　Yuzurina thought for a moment, stood up from the floor, walked over to the cardboard box and rummaged through it for a moment, pulling out a rather dated Tokyo travel guidebook from within.

　　She placed this manual on the table, pointed to its cover, and said, This is the Pure Land.

　　Lin Qiye fixed his eyes on it, only to see that on the cover of the travel guidebook, there was an overhead view of a neon bright modern city plastered on it, while on the clouds above the city of Tokyo, a large, shockingly large silver disk loomed, emitting a light blue shimmering light like a super flying saucer the size of half a city.

　　Lin Qiye’s gaze was filled with shock.

　　What the hell is this?

　　Is this a product of technology, or the power of the Mysterious Side?You must have been born here as well, only you forgot.

　　Yuzurina held the paper with this sentence written on it.

　　Lin Qiye was completely stunned at the moment.

　　As if he thought of something, he picked up a pen and quickly wrote something on the paper.Generations of Min, ranked by age or generation? You are a fourth generation min, your mother is a third generation min, Grandma Tsuru is a second generation min, and her previous generation is a first generation min, is that right?

　　Yurina nodded.Of course it’s like that.How old is Grandma Tsuru?She is 79 years old.

　　Lin Qiye’s pupils shrunk slightly, as if he had realized something, his brain spun rapidly.

　　If we calculate according to normal age, Grandma Crane, a Second Generation Min, is now 79 years old, and her parents’ generation, the so-called First Generation Min, should be around a hundred years old if they’re still alive…….

　　Generation Min, appeared more than a hundred years ago?

　　A hundred years ago, that’s not ……

　　Misty Descent?

　　Lin Qiye continued to write on the paper:

　　- – What about the generation of folk upwards? What happened to the previous generation?

　　Yuzurina gave him an odd expression.There’s no more ah, the gods created the world and created people from one generation of folk.

　　Lin Qiye froze in place.

　　There aren’t any?

　　How could there be none?

　　If the gods created the world a hundred years ago, then where did Japan come from a hundred years ago? Only a hundred years, and your technology could have developed to this point?You’re not going to tell me that such a modernized metropolis was built in a hundred years, are you?

　　Lin Qiye stretched out his hand and pointed at the neon glittering promotional picture on the travel brochure, the brilliant and misty glow of the Tokyo Tower, the lights of the traffic on the driveway pulling out a track of light, and an airliner looming in the clouds in the distance ……

　　His gaze was solemn and serious.

　　Yurina blinked, picked up a pen, and very fluidly wrote a sentence on a piece of paper:These, are all gifts left behind by the gods ah.

　　Lin Qiye’s entire body froze in place when he saw these words.

　　At this moment, only one thought remained in his mind.

　　Something’s not right ……

　　This country, it was very wrong.
