Chapter 898 – The Whereabouts of Wang Mian
The fluttering wind and rain sprinkled down on the deserted mountain path, and a figure wearing a pure black kimono picked its way up the steps with a red paper umbrella.
Rainwater dripped down the edges of the paper umbrella, which was lightly lifted, and a handsome face was reflected on the surface of the water droplets.
Ding ding ding–!
The crisp ringing of the phone rang.
The figure gave a slight lurch, and after hesitating for a moment, he still pulled out the cell phone from his pocket and placed it to his ear.
”Hello?”
”Hello? Brother Amamiya!”
”Little Yuzuri, huh? What’s up?”
”I went to that cliff again today! Guess what I found!!!”
Hearing Yuzurina’s tone so excited, Amamiya Haruhide froze, thinking of some possibility, and a flash of hope flashed in his eyes.
”He’s back?!”
”No, I found an old man!”
”……”
”This old man also drifted here following the ocean currents, and when I picked him up, he was frozen in time, exactly like the Seven Nights brother at that time!” The more Yuzurina spoke, the more excited she became, “I have a feeling that he might be from the same place as Brother Seven Nights!”
An old man from the same place as Lin Qiye?
Wasn’t that Daxia?
Amamiya Haruhide’s eyebrows raised.
”Does he understand us?”
”It seems like he can’t understand, after waking up, he’s been sitting in the corner in silence, he ignores me no matter how much I talk to him.”
”…… I see, when I’m done with the matter at hand, I’ll go to Kazamatsuri’s house to take a look.”
”Brother Amamiya, haven’t you found the last Banezu sword yet?”
”Not yet.”
”Alright, then I’ll wait for you at the Kazamatsuri house.”
”Uh-huh.”
Amamiya Haruhide hung up the phone and sighed helplessly after walking along the mountain path for a long time more, and after searching the entire mountain once.
”The prophecy Shouta gave today, was it wrong again ……”
He shook his head and, holding his paper umbrella, turned towards the road down the mountain.
”Yesterday afternoon four o’clock, Shinsaibashi once again gang injury incident, eight drunken thugs residents armed with knives broke into the gold store, even stabbed the store manager sixteen times after the store manager robbed all the store’s valuable goldware, the store manager collapsed on the ground to the passersby for help, no one to lend a hand, and finally died due to excessive bleeding …… ”
”…… as of yesterday, within this week, Osaka has occurred one hundred and thirty-two consecutive passers-by vicious injury incidents, casualties involving thousands of people, Osaka Police Department peacekeeping manpower shortage, the current black kill group has armed intervention, instead of the police to suppress all the vicious riots in the Kansai region to maintain the situation ……”
”…… Here at Aurora Broadcasting, we remind all residents not to go out in non-essential situations, and if you find yourself suffering from red eyes, insomnia, inexplicable mania, etc., please go to the nearest hospital as soon as possible for isolation and treatment …… ”
Snap-!
Inside the Kazamatsuri family’s Japanese-style compound, Yuzurina turned off the radio’s switch and stood up from the tatami mat.
Not long ago, the [Night Shade] team cut down the [Pure Land], shut down 92% of the electronic equipment in the “circle of man”, all the TV, electronic screens can not be activated, the TV station is also all shut down, and now the whole of Japan, can only use the radio this relatively least energy-consuming means of broadcasting to transmit information.
”This world, it’s really getting more and more chaotic ah ……” Yuzurina sighed, went into the kitchen to make a cup of tea, carried it in her hands, and walked to the corner of the room.
There, an old man with gray hair was looking up at the cherry blossom trees drifting outside the window, lost in thought.
The breeze brushed by, blowing up the pale hair on his temples, a few pieces of pink cherry blossoms fell with the wind on the back of his wrinkled hands, he sat there dumbfounded, his eyes dim, like a stone statue of a lost soul.
In his hand, he clutched a mask with the word “king” written on it, and the center of the mask was cracked with a fine crack, which seemed to have been knocked on something.
”Old grandpa, how about a cup of water?” Yuzurina handed the teacup in her hand to the old man and said softly.
Wang Mian was unmoved.
Yuzurina pursed her lips, placed the steaming cup of tea in her hands beside him, and patiently gestured up with her hands, presumably meaning to tell Wang Mian that this cup of tea was not poisonous and could be drunk.
After gesticulating for a long time, Wang Mian still ignored her and didn’t move a muscle.
Yuzurina, who was sweating profusely, seemed to be a little angry, she stood up from the tatami mat, deflated her small mouth, and murmured grudgingly, “Why is this person so stupid? Can’t even understand it after half a day of gesticulating …… It seems that the people of Daxia, aren’t all as smart as Brother Seven Nights.”
Hearing the last half of the sentence, Wang Mian was slightly stunned.
He violently turned his head to look at Yuzurina, opened his dry and cracked lips, and asked in somewhat obscure Japanese, “Daxia? How do you know about Daxia?”
This time it was Yuzurina’s turn to freeze.
”You understand Japanese?!” Yuzurina was so angry that she stomped her feet, “Then why are you ignoring me after I’ve been talking to you for half a day?”
Wang Mian looked straight into her eyes and repeated the question again, “How do you know about Daxia?”
”Because Brother Seven Nights drifted over from the sea ah, and at that time, his body was also frozen in time, exactly the same as when you came over …… Brother Seven Nights told me that he came from Daxia.”
”Brother Seven Nights?”
”That’s Asahina Seven Nights.” Yuzurina paused and added, “His original name was Lin Seven Nights.”
Lin Seven Nights?
Hearing this familiar name, Wang Mian’s eyes flashed with a few shimmering lights, and he leaned against the wall in a daze, smiling bitterly.
It’s really a coincidence ……
After being awakened by Yuzurina, it only took Wang Mian a short time to realize where this was.
As the captain of the [Mask] team, he knew that there was a “Human Circle” in each of the major godly countries in the Mist, and some time ago he had heard about the [Night Mask] who had just come back from the “Human Circle” in Japan, and he also knew about the situation inside the “Human Circle”. He also had a rough idea of the internal situation of the “Human Circle”.
Most importantly, as an agent of the gods, he had promised the God of Time that he would help him take out an item from the High Heavenly Plains.
In order to take out this thing, Wang Mian began to make preparations a long time ago, which, of course, included the study of the Japanese language, as well as a superficial analysis of Japanese culture, he knew that one day he would have to embark on a journey to find the High Heavenly Plains.
Only he never thought that he had not taken the initiative to look for Gao Tianyuan, was directly involved by the ocean current in the Japanese “circle of people”, and opened his eyes to see the first person, actually know Lin Qiye ……
This is all too much of a coincidence.
If it is before, Wang Mian will be full of curiosity to explore this “circle of people”, by the way to look for traces of Gao Tianyuan, but now …… he does not have this mood.
The “circle of people” or high Tianyuan or, with the God of Time’s agreement or, all unimportant.
Early in the shore by Yuzurina wake up, lifted the time stagnation state moment, the first thought in the mind of the king face, is immediately time back to the [mask] into the fishing village before, to stop all this happened, to save his brother’s life.
But he realized that he couldn’t do it ……
Because.
His lifespan was no longer enough.
