Chapter 731: The Oath Society in Great Shock
Shhhh shhhh shhhh shhhh shhhh……
Dense static snow filled the screen, accompanied by soft static sounds. Everyone present froze in place.
Wei Dong glanced at the television, confusion flickering in his eyes.
Such a high-end club, and the TV is still this bad? No wait… the TV wasn't even on in the first place?
At the same time, Lin Qiye and the other two seemed to have thought of something. They abruptly sat up from the sofa, their eyes flashing with delighted surprise.
Jiang Er!
Click——!
A soft sound rang out as the static on the screen vanished simultaneously. The画面 transitioned to show a slender young man in a white lab coat, wearing black-framed glasses, with a gentle, scholarly appearance.
His gaze swept across the room, landing briefly on Wei Dong, the knight, and Amemiya Haruki—three unfamiliar faces. His eyes narrowed slightly before settling on Wu Xiangnan for a moment, quickly recalling who he was. When his eyes finally found Lin Qiye and the others, an uncontrollable smile began to form at the corners of his lips.
"Finally… I found you."
An Qingyu!
Though Lin Qiye and Cao Yuan had spoken on the phone and knew that An Qingyu would come to find them actively, they truly hadn't expected it to happen in this manner. Lin Qiye smiled and said,
"I knew the two of you should be together."
"After all, I was carried ashore while carrying the coffin. Jiang Er has been with me the whole time." An Qingyu smiled. "Thanks to her, I've been able to make some contribution."
"Why didn't you come to Hokkaido? Cao Yuan should have told you our location, right?" Lin Qiye asked, puzzled.
"My current location is rather special. I can't leave easily."
"Special? Where are you?"
An Qingyu didn't answer. He glanced at Wei Dong and the others beside him, his meaning clear enough.
His position was critical, and he wasn't sure if these people could be trusted.
"It's fine. They're from the Oath Society—they're allies of the Night Watch." Lin Qiye introduced them.
An Qingyu nodded before saying,
"I'm in the [Pure Land]."
Clatter——!
The knight dropped the fruit tray he was holding.
He stared blankly at the screen, beginning to wonder if he'd misheard…
"[Pure Land]?!" Lin Qiye's expression changed as if he'd thought of something, his brow furrowing immediately. "Were you captured by the Oracle Envoys?"
"No. I drove them away."
"…?"
Lin Qiye was stunned.
The knight and Wei Dong were stunned too.
The knight turned his head茫然ly, looking at Wei Dong beside him, who wore an equally dumbfounded expression.
That gaze seemed to say: Didn't you say the [Pure Land] was hard to breach? Didn't you say the Oracle Envoys had a firm grip on the [Pure Land] and the situation was棘手? What is this now?!
"You're in the [Pure Land]? You drove away the Oracle Envoys?" Wei Dong couldn't help but ask. "Are you serious?"
An Qingyu raised an eyebrow. Silently, he picked up the screen from the table, panned it around the central control room, then set it back down.
"I'm serious," he said.
Wei Dong: ……
This defies science!!
This team—one member took control of the Japanese underworld and became a underworld legend, which was already absurd enough. How could there be another who directly stole the [Pure Land]?!
You're making me feel so unprofessional and losing face here!
"Captain Lin." The knight couldn't help but sit down beside Lin Qiye. "Are all the special squads from Great Xia this impressive?"
Lin Qiye was equally shocked by An Qingyu's home-stealing maneuver. He snapped back to reality from his astonishment, pondered for a moment,
"Should be… not all of them?"
"…" The knight paused for a moment, as if having thought of something. "By the way, Captain Lin, since your teammates are so impressive, you must have achieved something remarkable long ago too, right? Can you tell us what kind of influence or reputation you have in the 'Human Enclosure'?"
Lin Qiye: ……
"No." Lin Qiye shook his head decisively. "I've only been here for about a month. No achievements, no reputation."
The rising star of the host club industry had nothing to do with him.
But… would having a bunch of Magatsu Blades at his disposal count?
A knowing expression appeared on the knight's face.
Fortunately, their entire conversation had been in Chinese. Amemiya Haruki sat to the side, unable to find an opening to expose Lin Qiye.
"You're in the [Pure Land], so where did the Oracle Envoys go?" Lin Qiye turned to look at An Qingyu on the screen, asking curiously.
"I don't know. They should be active near Tokyo, looking for an opportunity to retake the [Pure Land]. That's why I can't leave here. If Jiang Er and I leave, this place will fall back into their hands, and it will be difficult to get in again." An Qingyu said seriously.
Lin Qiye nodded repeatedly, unable to resist giving An Qingyu a thumbs-up.
"During my time in the [Pure Land], I've basically uncovered all the secrets hidden within this 'Human Enclosure.'" An Qingyu took a deep breath and said seriously,
"Everything I'm about to say next, you all need to listen carefully…"
……
Tokyo.
Chiyoda Ward.
Several cars from the Kazamatsuri family raced past the Akihabara roads.
"Hmm?"
On the roadside, at the front of a long queue waiting for a new game release outside a large electronics and gaming mall, a tall young man with flowing snow-white hair turned around. He gazed at the direction where the cars had disappeared, his star-cross-like eyes filling with confusion.
"What's wrong, Takishiro?" Beside him, a middle-aged man in a sequined suit glanced in that direction, puzzled.
"Just now, there was a Level 72 man in that car. It's the first time I've seen someone that high-leveled outside the [Pure Land]… And beside him was a little girl at Level 58." Yuzuri Takishiro slowly turned his head to explain.
"Levels, huh…" Uncle Kyosuke paused. "What level am I in your eyes?"
Yuzuri Takishiro glanced at him. "Uncle's level has always been unstable. When you have a blade at your waist, you're Level 69. When the blade isn't beside you, you're only Level 18…"
Uncle Kyosuke: ……
Yuzuri Takishiro wasn't mistaken. For a Magatsu Blade master, all their combat power came from the Magatsu Blade. With the Magatsu Blade, they were strong, but without the blade by their side, they were just slightly stronger ordinary people.
Uncle Kyosuke was about to say something. His mouth slightly opened before he suddenly couldn't control a violent coughing fit.
"Cough cough cough……"
His face pale, he pulled a bottle of medicine from his suit pocket, stuffed a few pills into his mouth, swallowed hard. His palm was already stained crimson.
Yuzuri Takishiro furrowed his brows, looking at the void above Uncle Kyosuke's head, and reminded him,
"Uncle, your 'Serious Illness' debuff is glowing again… You're losing HP again."
Uncle Kyosuke waved his hand. "I know… It's fine. After taking the medicine, I'll be better in a moment."
