Tokyo: Parasite

Chapter 412 182: Scroll Cube

The time in Fox Village is synchronized with reality, and the same is true in the morning.

Although it is in a small space, I don’t know through what magical means the sunlight can be spread to awaken this small and quiet forest.

The insects that had not slept all night were snatched up by the early birds and eaten as breakfast. Then, as the noise was heard on the ground, the alert and agile birds instantly flew up to the treetops and disappeared without a trace.

Then, groups of foxes ran out from the forest trails and walked towards the fox village.

They come to beg for their daily meals.

This is also the main reason why they followed the Jade-faced Fox into this space and settled there.

Food and accommodation are provided, and the ecological environment is much better than that gloomy place in Aokigahara. Even if you don’t have intelligence, you will know what to choose.

The main house of Fox Village.

The ghost-faced fox lying on the table woke up slowly, looked at the sunlight outside the window helplessly for a few seconds, and then his eyes suddenly woke up.

I slept all night without realizing it!
Something was wrong. Why did she suddenly feel sleepy and fall asleep? She was obviously extraordinary.
Just when she wanted to see if the impostor had replied on the paper, her attention was attracted by a scroll on the desk at first sight.

"Was there this scroll yesterday?"

Ghost-faced Fox recalled carefully that only he and his sister could enter this room, but when she was there, her sister usually would not come in to disturb them, and she was also in charge of hygiene and never let others interfere.

Could this be left by the fake master?
The ghost-faced fox hesitated for a few seconds before unfolding the scroll.

"Is this a map?" The Ghost-Faced Fox didn't even need to look carefully to tell at a glance that this was a map of this world.

On the world map, there are seven red circles, which circle seven regions around the world.

In the blank space, there is a red and black cube-shaped object similar to a Rubik's Cube, which looks like a rusted piece of iron.

But now the color of this Rubik's Cube is quite light, and it looks like it has faded.

"Lord Pseudo-Master wants me to go to these seven places and collect this Rubik's Cube?" The ghost-faced fox's eyes gradually lit up, full of surprise.

After such a long time, the Pseudo-Lord finally issued a task again, and it seemed that it was a task only for her, otherwise why would he choose to put it next to her when she was sleeping?
Perhaps the fake one did this because he noticed his sister's ulterior motives.

"My lord, my sister is still loyal, but she is more concerned about her own people. I promise you that I will not let her make the wrong choice." The ghost-faced fox knelt down respectfully and saluted the wooden statue that symbolized the false.

The wooden statue remained motionless, but that might be good news.

The ghost-faced fox sat back in his original position and continued to spread out the scroll to examine it carefully, fearing that he had missed something.

"Isn't the scope of this circle a little too big?" The ghost-faced fox was a little puzzled when looking at those big circles.

For example, there is a red circle at the location of the Southern Dynasty, but that circle basically includes the entire Southern Dynasty. In other words, if you want to find clues, you may have to turn the entire Southern Dynasty upside down.

There is also a circle in Siberia, which directly encloses a large uninhabited area. I'm afraid there are more polar bears than people in it.

However, among these circles, the most convenient one is the red circle in Hokkaido.

Not only is it located in Japan, the circle only covers half of Hokkaido, making it the smallest red circle.

The ghost-faced fox carefully put away the scroll, bowed three times to the wooden statue of the faker again, then turned around and pushed the door open to leave.

She was ready to say goodbye to her sister, but since the faker only gave the task to her, she would not explain the situation to her sister and could only think of an excuse to prevaricate.

The sun was shining outside, with a gentle breeze. Several people were gathered at the door of a wooden house a little further away, and the laughter of Fox Seven and Fox Six could be heard.

"I was just about to go in to find you. Did you sleep in the main house last night?" The Jade-faced Fox appeared in front of him and asked with concern.

"Yes." Ghost-faced Fox nodded and looked at those people, "Are you going to send those two away?"

"Yes. In the future, try not to have conflicts with them, okay?" Jade-faced Fox tried to say.

The Ghost-faced Fox hummed, which was quite unexpected to the Jade-faced Fox.

She accepted it so readily? Is she still her sister?

Jade-faced Fox took a closer look and saw the joy on Ghost-faced Fox's face that had not yet completely disappeared. He couldn't help but think, "Did the faker send the news?"

The ghost-faced fox shook his head, showing displeasure: "No, I just want to go out with those two people to collect some information, so that they can't use the things we researched against us in the future."

Jade-faced Fox did not refute: "Actually, I plan to let Fox Seven follow them and bring back Hedwig's research results in time. Fox Seven has always been alert and should be able to complete the task smoothly. But if you go too, the risk will be lower."

"Okay, but I will stay in the dark and won't show up unless there are special circumstances." The ghost-faced fox agreed.

In fact, she believed in Hedwig's character, otherwise if she really wanted to tear her face off to stop him, Louis would not be able to stop her.

At that time, she was more trying to show her attitude to Jade-faced Fox, and also to the fake people who were not sure if they were observing them, so as to avoid being punished later and no one would be able to plead for mercy.

Who can be completely without mercy towards his own kind, but someone has to do this evil thing.

The Ghost-faced Fox took out the teleportation crystal he was carrying and handed it to the Jade-faced Fox.

"You have to protect the village, so this thing is for you." The teleportation crystal would undoubtedly save her a lot of effort in traveling, but after thinking it over again and again, she decided to leave it to her sister.

Compared to the little time saved on the road, Fox Village is undoubtedly more important.

The Teleportation Crystal, like the Tree of Protection, is a treasure worthy of being kept in reserve. However, the Jade-faced Fox does not have strong physical skills, and the Teleportation Crystal can make up for this shortcoming.

"You should take it with you. If anything happens, you can come back quickly and tell me the situation." Jade-faced Fox refused.

"No, you should go there in person when you need me. I may not be there all the time. I still have some things to take care of."

Seeing that his sister had already made up her mind, Jade-faced Fox knew that he could not convince her, so he had to accept the crystal.

On the main entrance road to the village, several people were seeing Hedwig and Louis off.

We also need to add a fox seven.

"Look, this is the wine I promised you. It's all here." Fox Seven pointed at the jars of wine she brought out.

Just now, when Jade-faced Fox was choosing people to go with her, she did not directly choose Fox Seven. It was all because Louis helped her say a word according to the agreement that Jade-faced Fox chose Fox Seven as the messenger, so that she did not have to wait until Fox Two gave birth to a child before going out.

Of course she would do her best to complete the tasks assigned by Jade-faced Fox, but it wouldn't interfere with her having fun. She couldn't be asked to keep an eye on Hedwig's research all the time. Not to mention whether Hedwig agreed or not, even if he agreed, she wouldn't be able to understand it.

"This wine?" Hedwig asked curiously.

"I found this wine a bit strange, so I decided to study it and bring some for my friend." Louis said honestly. "Hey, the friend you mentioned." Fox Seven said with a smile.

Louis didn't respond, but used Transfiguration to shrink several wine jars and carried them with him.

A few people said goodbye to the Jade-faced Fox and the others, turned around and transformed into animals, and walked out of the exit.

The Ghost-faced Fox nodded to the Jade-faced Fox in the dark and followed quietly.

She planned to first determine where they would settle down, and then set off for Hokkaido to find the Rubik's Cube on the scroll.

Even though she had been in and out of the Fox Village countless times, the feeling of going out on orders was indeed very different.

The ghost-faced fox put on a mask and chased in the direction the few people left.

Hokkaido.

In a kendo hall somewhere in Sapporo, Kitsune packed his bags and prepared to leave the country and go to the next place where his teacher might be.

"Are you really leaving?" A trembling female voice behind her mustered up the courage to ask.

Fox paused as he was packing his bag and didn't dare look back.

"You know, I'm not human."

"But you are no different from other people. You also have two eyes, a nose and a mouth." The woman's voice was a little louder.

Fox was silent for a moment, then turned around slowly and said, "But where are my four ears and the extra tail that I have?"

"There have always been legends about fox spirits in our country. Besides, can't you hide your ears and tail? Then others won't be able to see you, and you can live like an ordinary person."

Fox struggled for a moment, but finally shook his head solemnly: "I want to return to my teacher and resume the days of practicing with my brothers and sisters. Sorry."

Fox One is the most diligent in practicing martial arts among the fox people, and is also the one who most hopes to find a teacher.

He has traveled more roads than Fox Seven who traveled around the world, and because of his hatred of evil, he has encountered countless dangers.

Some time ago, during the turmoil in Northeast China, he couldn't stand a superhuman who was doing evil, so he took action against him, but the other party had a companion, and Fox One, who only had a rigid body and basic martial arts skills, was no match for him. He barely escaped thanks to the camouflage ability of the mask, but he was also seriously injured. By chance, he came to this not-so-busy and dilapidated kendo hall.

Then there is a series of exciting plots. The kendo gym is on the verge of closing down, and there are people who come to challenge the gym. Arima Shinka is struggling to hold on. At this critical moment, the scarred Kitsune, as a disciple of Arima Kendo Gym, helps Arima Shinka teach the challengers a lesson and throws them out of the kendo gym one by one, scarring them so much that they dare not attack again.

Then he just stood at the entrance of the kendo hall until he could no longer see those people, and then he slowly fell down.

His disguise could not be maintained and his true face was exposed, but fortunately, Arima Shinka was a grateful person. She quickly closed the museum, took Kitsune to her room, bought medicine for him, and helped him heal his wounds.

Originally, when Bai Shihang was creating the fox man, there was a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and there was also a scene where the hero saved the beauty. The man had animal ears, and after the fox woke up, the two of them fell in love within a few days.

Before, Hu Yi had the excuse of recuperating to stay here, but now his injuries have healed, and those who coveted the kendo gym have been frightened by him, and at least they will not dare to spy again in the short term.

After all, he couldn't protect this place forever, so it was time to say goodbye.

But after traveling around the world for so long, Arima Kokoro is indeed the most heart-moving woman he has ever met, but it's a pity that she is a human.

He has no interest in his sisters, so perhaps living alone is his fate.

"I, I - guest?! I'm sorry, our Ma Kendo Gym is closed today." Arima was about to keep Kitsune at all costs, but when he saw someone coming in from the door, he had to stop talking and walked towards the other person quickly.

"Really? But, I'm here to look for Kitsune."

Bai Shihang smiled and looked at the stunned Hu Yi.

"Teacher!!!"

Fox screamed in surprise, and suddenly slid down to his knees in front of Bai Shihang: "Teacher! Teacher, are you here to see me?"

"If I don't look for you, I'm afraid you will die on the way to find me." Bai Shihang pinched out a transparent pill and put it into Hu Yi's mouth.

Gulu.

Fox swallowed it instinctively, but didn't pay much attention to it. The teacher wouldn't hurt him anyway.

"Hoo-er is pregnant and will give birth in two months. You must prepare a gift for the child."

"Fox Two is pregnant?! Who did it—Fox Three? It must be that boy. Teacher, you're right. I will definitely prepare!"

"Also, there's no need to look for me. This is your life. Enjoy the scenery around you, but don't slack off on your training."

"Disciple never dares to slack off for a single day!" Hu Yi replied solemnly.

"I can see it." When Bai Shihang was removing his underlying defects, he could feel that Fox had awakened his extraordinary power. At least he would be a qualified transcendent in the future.

After finishing his explanation, Bai Shihang had no plans to stay any longer.

Fox One was the last fox he was looking for. He had already looked for Fox Four and Fox Five. Among them, Fox Four was also a member of the Soul Gathering and continued to look for a way to go back.

Unfortunately, their hometown only exists in false memories.

However, if Bai Shihang wanted, he could create such a real world for him when he had free time, but it depends on whether it is necessary.

Next, she had to find Ye Jie. Otherwise, she would have met Fox One and Fox Seven but not her, which might make her feel scared.

"Teacher" Hu Yi looked at Bai Shihang's disappearing shadow, stretched out his hand, but caught nothing.

After a long while, he turned around and looked at Arima Shinka, meeting the latter's gaze that had not yet recovered from the shock: "I have decided, I will stay here."

Arima covered his mouth in surprise: "Really?"

"Well, since this is the teacher's order, there must be a reason for it. But in a month, I need to go out and bring a gift to my sister's child." Fox Yi gave up continuing to pursue the time when his brothers and sisters trained together under the teacher's command.

He should have understood long ago that his younger brothers and sisters each had their own ambitions, and his teacher also had his own important things to do, so his wish was destined to not be realized.

But everyone has his or her own wonderful life, which is also very good. He traveled all over the world, but never figured out such a simple point, nor did he stop to look at the scenery around him.

Now that the teacher has enlightened me, it seems as if the boxwood trees outside the door have come alive and are full of vitality.

But compared to the boxwood tree, Fox One still felt that the Arima Heart Flower next to him was more beautiful.

Fortunately, he didn't miss it all.
