Chapter 934: Three Divine Artifacts
"Why did it choose me?"
"How would I know? That's a question for it." Jinian shrugged. "Maybe you're one of those protagonists from novels? The favored child of heaven?"
...What nonsense.
Lin Qiye rolled his eyes and continued, "Then what about the three divine artifacts you took?"
"I know about those." A hint of nostalgia flickered in Jinian's eyes. "Back when I followed the hospital's guidance to Cangnan, a strange figure cloaked entirely in shadows found me—someone with a crimson eye with black pupils on their forehead. They gave me a letter.
I don't know who sent it, but the letter said that if I wanted to find a way home, I had to ensure your survival during the great catastrophe that was about to descend.
In that letter, they also included a strange formation diagram with three divine artifacts serving as its formation eyes.
But I didn't have any divine artifacts on me, so I could only enter that hospital and try to get them from the patients. Lucky for me, with my cultivation level at the time, I could open three ward doors, so I challenged them one by one."
Hearing this, Lin Qiye nodded slightly. Jinian's account matched perfectly with the descriptions from the Black Pupil and Nyx and the others.
"But how did you win? Those were three gods."
"Their minds weren't quite right. As long as you found the gaps, winning wasn't difficult." Jinian smiled mysteriously. "I have a talent that lets me briefly glimpse the trajectory of the Great Dao. Using this ability, I got a rough understanding of each of their situations.
For the first ward, I bet Nyx that whoever could create something the other had never seen and couldn't possibly understand would win."
"And then?"
"Then I showed her this."
Jinian raised her hand, revealing a complex pattern intertwined on the back of her hand, mysterious and emanating a profound aura.
"What's this?" Lin Qiye asked, puzzled.
"Nyx asked the same question, so she lost and gave me her bracelet." Jinian sidestepped the question with a smile.
"For the second ward, I competed with Merlin in fate divination. In the final round, I had him try to peer into the fate on my body. He couldn't see anything, so he lost too and gave me his crystal ball."
"And the third ward? What did you bet Bragi on?"
"We didn't bet at all. I saw he was bored being all alone in there, so I made a pixel harp and traded it for his ring." Jinian couldn't help but sigh with emotion. "He had seven rings on his hand. After I took one, he wanted to trade two more rings for a bagpipe and a harmonica, but I couldn't make those two instruments.
After that, I quietly followed you until you returned home. Then I set up the formation with the three divine artifacts beneath your house before leaving."
So that's how it was...
Lin Qiye nodded thoughtfully.
"But who exactly are you? Even Merlin couldn't see through your fate?" he asked, confused.
"That's a secret."
Jinian had no intention of telling him. She glanced out the window and said, "Seems like we've arrived at the place you mentioned. Let's get out."
Lin Qiye also spotted the distinctive building of the Kazamatsuri family under the night sky. He got out of the car and walked straight toward the Kazamatsuri estate's gate, with Jinian dismissing the McLaren and following close behind.
"Is this the den of a yakuza family?" Jinian studied the Japanese-style courtyard before her with surprise. "Seems rather low-key."
"This isn't their den, just their family head's residence. The siblings don't like living in big villas, so they rented this courtyard."
"Seems like security here isn't great. Doesn't anyone come seeking revenge?"
"Security isn't needed. In all of Japan, no one can harm those siblings."
As Lin Qiye spoke, he walked to the door and knocked.
After a long while, there was silence behind it.
No one?
Lin Qiye knocked two more times with more force. Finally, a figure opened the gate.
It was a young man wearing a black kimono with cherry blossom patterns. Lin Qiye had seen him before—when he was at the Black Murder Group building years ago, this was the one who led people to invite Yuzuri Nana back to the Kazamatsuri family to inherit the headship. His name was... Kazamatsuki Takuya?
"Mr. Qiye?!"
Kazamatsuki Takuya recognized Lin Qiye instantly, and unbridled joy appeared in his eyes. "You're back?"
"Yeah. Where did your family head go?"
"She left with Mr. Amemiya, along with a young man called Hoshimi Shota."
"Amemiya and Shota?" Hearing those two names, Lin Qiye froze. "What did they go to do?"
"Mr. Amemiya said he found the location of the final Magatsu Blade, but he needed the family head's help. They've been gone for over an hour."
The final Magatsu Blade?
Lin Qiye clearly remembered that when he left the Human Enclosure, Amemiya Haruki had seven Magatsu Blades in hand. Now it seemed he had found another one... The Nine Magatsu Blades would soon become one?
"Did they say where they went?"
"No. They didn't mention where the final Magatsu Blade was."
"...I see. If they come back, tell them I'll be waiting at Asaba Club."
"Yes, sir."
Lin Qiye didn't get to see the siblings, so he could only turn around and leave dejectedly.
"Amemiya Haruki—that young man searching for the road to salvation, right?" Jinian pondered for a moment. "Wei Dong mentioned him to me."
"Yeah."
"Are you worried about them?"
Lin Qiye sighed deeply. "Trouble is, I don't even know where they are. Even if I wanted to help, I couldn't."
Jinian thought for a moment. "I really can't help you with finding people, but if you want to deal with those corpse beasts, our Oath Society does have something that could help..."
Hearing this, Lin Qiye's eyes lit up: "What thing?"
"It's too big, so I left it on the cruise ship and didn't bring it over. Once I'm back, I'll have someone deliver it. Then you'll see."
Lin Qiye stared into Jinian's eyes and fell into silence.
"What do I need to pay?"
"Pay?" Jinian thought seriously for a moment. "You... just owe me a favor."
"One favor? That's all?"
"What else would it be? You're not as strong as me now, and your forces aren't as vast either. What am I supposed to be getting from you at this point?" Jinian smiled. "Besides, you carry the Asylum of the Gods with you. You're the destined child who will inevitably rise to the pinnacle of this world eventually. Trading something this small for one favor from you is a great deal, wouldn't you say?
Maybe, my hope for going home lies with you."
"Your home? Where is it?"
Jinian was silent for a moment. She slowly closed her eyes and shook her head.
"I don't know..."
