Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 331 What does the Siren want?
The cruise ship sailed smoothly to Japan until the third day when Xu Shen's absence from the ship was revealed.

Mo Fan and his men almost turned the cruise ship upside down!

Fortunately, the note was found in his cabin not long after, otherwise everyone would have thought that some unknown monster in the sea had kidnapped him silently.

After knowing where Xu Shen was going, everyone felt relieved and ended the chaotic morning.

Several people gathered together for lunch, originally just to have a casual chat, but as time went on they ended up complaining about Xu Shen.

Mo Fan was not the only one who had complaints about his behavior of abandoning his teammates and operating alone.

And there is Jiang the Fox.

She finally got the chance to participate in something sacred, just, and thrilling, but unexpectedly she was kicked off the boat by her teammates halfway through. Anyone who was in her shoes would be furious at the feeling.

Jiang Shaoxu was grinding his little canine teeth, and the delicate spoon in his hand had been squeezed into a mess.

"I've been waiting for him to give the order to return, but I didn't expect him to sneak away while we were away?! Ai Jiangtu, should we go back and settle the score with him?"

Ai Jiangtu shook his head and said, "The fact that infants and young children were killed by demons has been suppressed for three years. The forces behind this are definitely not as simple as we imagined. Xu Shen must have his reasons for not wanting us to get involved. It's better not to make trouble."

Jiang Huli immediately got angry: "Making trouble? Do you think he thinks we are not good enough and will hinder him?"

Ai Jiangtu is an honest man who cannot lie and can only remain silent.

"Humph, if we can't handle it, can't our family behind us handle it?" At this time, Guan Yu suddenly interrupted and said sarcastically, "I think Xu Shen is just a man who seeks fame and reputation. Just wait and see, when we land on the Japanese island, all kinds of exaggerated praises about him will surely flood us."

Mo Fan suddenly slapped him on the back of the head and said, "If he were here, would you dare to say this to his face?"

"I..." Guan Yu was choked for a moment, then said in shame and anger: "Why shouldn't I dare?!"

Mo Fan said nonchalantly, “Okay then. When he comes, I’ll watch you say it in front of him.”

……

The Lin family's business empire was not much smaller than that of Zhao Manyan, the young master's family. With trade connections spanning five continents, it was easy for Xu Shen to catch a ride on a favorable ship bound for Tokyo.

In fact, according to the school tutor, their first stop in Japan should be Osaka.

There is a Japanese pavilion there, and they have to successfully challenge it before they can go to the next stop, Tokyo.

However, it’s not that Xu Shen looked down on the Japanese. With Mo Fan around, the difficulty of challenging the Japanese in this national hall is not even as difficult as spawning elite monsters, so he doesn’t need to take any action at all.

Therefore, he could first go to Tokyo to meet the teachers who taught physiology to thousands of boys and experience the world-renowned customs and culture.

Well, of course it’s not just places like the Kabuki theater.

Tokyo Battle City, one of the four major naval battlefields in the world, is also very famous.

As one of the few island countries in the world surrounded by the sea, and located in the world's largest ocean, the Pacific Ocean, Japan's location conditions are extremely special, especially in the country's largest city, Tokyo, where the figure of sirens can be seen everywhere along the endless coastline.

The existence of these sirens forces the city of Tokyo to be on high alert at all times.

But it is precisely because of these sirens that Tokyo City has never lacked resources for cultivation. Such a unique place is naturally a place for many mages to go for training in their lifetime. This also makes Tokyo City a city where mages account for a very high proportion of the total population.

The unique location has fostered a very special culture in Tokyo and even in Japan as a whole. As we all know, mages, as the "superior people", are the people who enjoy pleasure the most besides those decadent and indulgent second-generation people.

Naturally, there are also some eye-opening dens of money-losing here, such as the world-famous Kabuki hall.

Xu Shen lay on the beach chair and modestly closed the guidebook on local customs and practices that he had picked up from the bookshelf on the cruise ship as a pastime during the trip.

It’s not that he didn’t want to read on. As the illustrations became more and more erotic, the instruction manual became more and more explicit.

Yumian is not here. If I continue reading, my restless soul will not be relieved.

Xu Shen yawned and flipped through a much more serious book: "Analysis of the Reasons Why Tokyo City Has Stands for a Thousand Years"

There is very little nonsense in the book, and the author expresses his thoughts and reasons directly at the very beginning.

Xu Shen appreciated this writing style more than textbooks that were long-winded with a lot of overviews and meanings but never got to the point.

Well, the "Employment Guidance for College Students" is mentioned here.

The land has a biological carrying capacity limit, and the ocean is no exception.

The limited resources mean that the Sirens also have their own "family planning".

Compared with humans, their reproduction is much simpler, cruder and more cruel. Most of the sirens who were sent to the coastline were forced to die by the Ocean Monster Kingdom.

Slaves, generals, commanders... countless demons had their lives as cheap as a shoe. They came one after another. The originally clear blue sea was often dyed into a turbid red by the blood of both humans and demons.

Here, a large amount of resources provided by the corpses of demons are brought in every day, new stories of genius are born every day, and there are also sad thoughts of life and death every day.

Thousands of years of entanglement between humans and demons have created this prosperous international metropolis.

So, it is not the siren that can destroy a mere city like Tokyo.

But they want nothing from this barren island.

They simply regard the humans on this island as scalpels to help them with "family planning."

Having nothing to ask for is actually the fundamental reason why Tokyo and even Japan can survive for a long time.

Xu Shen sat up straighter.

This view is quite interesting.

If that is the case, what about China?

These sea monsters are eager to make a move and have even invaded China more than once in history, which means that they have something to gain from this ancient oriental land.

So, what are they asking for?
Xu Shen's eyes lit up slightly.

If we knew what the Sirens wanted, perhaps we could avoid a racial war that would cause devastating loss of life?
