The dragon wreaked havoc on its surroundings, and the spilled liquid created an ideal environment for the Moon Sea to maneuver. The walls on both sides of the alley were destroyed, and the ground was covered in debris, causing ripples. Numerous ropes made of various materials trapped the semi-mechanical golems that couldn't dodge in time.
. ........ .......
At the same time, Yuehai suddenly had a knife in her hand, which made a slight buzzing sound. Li Wei only glanced at it out of the corner of his eye and knew that Yuehai had used a high-pressure knife.
Taking advantage of the moment when their opponents were unable to move, Yuehai stepped onto the surface and pounced like a phantom, her blade swiftly slicing across the cyborg puppets. After she finished, she cautiously distanced herself from Li Wei and retreated to his side.
However, what happened next shocked Yuehai. The semi-mechanical puppets broke free from Liu's restraints, and the places on their bodies where they had been slashed by the knife only had faint scratches left.
"These monsters?! You can't even break through their defenses?!" Yuehai exclaimed in surprise.
Yuehai's surprise was understandable. Her high-pressure blade possessed a cutting ability surpassing even the best industrial high-pressure blades currently available to humankind. Furthermore, under high-speed continuous cutting conditions, she could cleave even ten-centimeter-thick alloy steel in two. However, after enduring such an exaggerated attack, her opponent's armor only bore faint scratches. Even her strongest offensive techniques were ineffective against her; once a tug-of-war ensued, defeat was only a matter of time.
Chapter 1. Relief
Tsukimi's combat intelligence is quite impressive. Compared to the mindless spamming of buffs in the anime and the manga's focus on head-on confrontations, her combo just now was truly amazing. If it were any other enemy, not a semi-mechanical puppet clone with excellent defense, they would have been defeated by her wave attack long ago.
Li Wei said, "I need to borrow what you left behind, is that alright?"
Yuehai asked in surprise, "What do you want to do? Can you also manipulate the flow?"
Although Moonsea is a wagtail, her unique upbringing meant that the researchers at the institute treated her like a normal human. As a result, she learned a wide variety of knowledge. While she may not be good enough for scientific research, she is among the most knowledgeable of all the wagtails.
Yuehai couldn't understand why Li Wei, as a human being and as a reed shoot, would ask her such a question, and that was precisely why she felt puzzled.
Li Wei said, "As for manipulation techniques, I also know a little bit. However, unlike your refined approach, my method is more brutal. I have a special way of dealing with things like these metal cans."
Li Wei raised his hand, and the previously calm surface rippled again. A large number of chains composed of streams instantly emerged from the surface, binding the semi-mechanical puppets tightly. At the same time, more streams transformed into giant fists, which fiercely slammed down on the semi-mechanical puppets. The enormous impact of the stream fists struck the puppets' armor, producing a tooth-grinding metallic twisting sound. Not only were the stream fists impacting the armor, but the stream chains were also constantly tightening. In just a few seconds, these semi-mechanical puppets were twisted and deformed, and some were even crushed into piles of fragments.
Yuehai was completely dumbfounded when she saw this scene.
Li Wei laughed and said, "Isn't that settled?"
Looking at the stream that had spilled onto the ground and the semi-mechanical puppets that had turned into piles of scrap metal, Yuehai exclaimed in astonishment, "Are you really human?! How could a human do such a thing? This is not scientific!"
Li Wei laughed and said, "It is precisely because we are human that we are able to do such a thing. After all, humans have infinite possibilities, and it is not only wagtails that can master such power."
Yuehai shook her head. She felt that her values were somewhat unstable. Having grown up in the research institute, she had witnessed another world that ordinary people could not see, a world called science, along with the researchers. Precisely because she knew more than ordinary wagtails, this situation was more impactful on her than on others.
After all, the researchers at the institute believed that ordinary people, without the unique wagtail trunk and the presence of this magical substance within their bodies, would not be able to master those magical powers.
Researchers at the institute attempted to create artificial sekireri basal bodies in ordinary people by extracting metabolic secretions from the sekireri basal body. However, these experiments all ended in failure. While the sekireri basal body's metabolic secretions could indeed grant temporary special abilities, these were extremely weak. Since the human body does not possess a sekireri basal body and cannot utilize metabolic secretions to construct a special internal organ, ordinary people cannot truly possess such power.
The power Li Wei displayed was already greater than that of her, even though they were both just playing around. Her attacks were like scraping the surface of those "iron cans," leaving only shallow marks. However, the sheer force and weight of Li Wei's flowing attacks were something she, as someone who also used flowing techniques, could feel even more strongly.
Yuehai asked, "What are you planning to do next?"
Yuehai's heart was also filled with complex emotions. If it weren't for Li Wei's help, she might have already met with misfortune. After all, the opponents were not only individually powerful, but also acted in a small team. If she were alone, she would have no way to resist such a large-scale hunt, and it would only be a matter of time before she was defeated.
Li Wei said, "Of course we should contact the MBI and let them clean up the mess. I think they would be happy to get more information about that mysterious organization. With their skills, they can find the information they need from this junk."
Yuehai said with some surprise, "This pile of stuff should be very valuable for research. Why don't you keep some for yourself? Even if you take it to the black market to exchange for money, it's better than giving it directly to the MBI. Those guys won't thank you."
Li Wei said, "I don't lack this money, why bother wasting time and effort on this? Besides, these guys are hunting wagtails right now. I have limited energy and can't possibly be the guardian of all the wagtails. So, let MBI handle this. If I encounter them, I'll help out. If I don't, I won't know about this and there's nothing I can do."
Yuehai thought to herself that Li Wei was actually thinking about this issue from the perspective of the Sekirei. In the eyes of that strange man, Mihiroto, the Sekirei was just a pawn to complete the game. The reason she didn't want to ascend to immortality was that she didn't want to give up her lifeline so that she could have more initiative and maintain her independence at crucial moments.
But now, she found herself incredibly attracted to this ridiculously handsome guy in front of her. She felt her heart was about to burst out of her chest, and a tingling sensation was welling up from deep within her. She smelled a wonderful fragrance on Li Wei, which made her head feel a little dizzy.
Li Wei continued, "To be honest, the Wagtail game, which involves girls fighting each other, is not only disgusting but also cruel. I'm going to end this game in my own way."
Li Wei's words brought Yue Hai back to her senses, and she asked, "Do you have a way to end the game?"
Li Wei nodded and said, "I have a plan. According to the reasoning, my method is generally correct. However, I need to prevent too many wagtails from suffering irreparable damage in the game. Achieving the goal is important, but the process of achieving the goal cannot be ignored."
Yuehai was silent for a moment, then said, "Who exactly are you? You give me the feeling that you are definitely not an ordinary person."
Li Wei laughed and said, "I'm just an ordinary human traveler. I haven't even asked your name yet. We've been through thick and thin together. It would be really impolite not to know your name."
Yuehai said, "My name is Yuehai, No."
Li Wei smiled and said, "My name is Li Wei, a passing traveler who wants to end the Wagtail Game."
Chapter 1. The Shaking of the Moon Sea
Yuehai said, "Traveler? Judging from your name, you don't seem to be from Japan."
Li Wei laughed and said, "Of course, I am a descendant of the dragon and a citizen of that great country across the sea."
Yuehai asked, "Then why did you decide to come to Japan?"
Li Weimo stroked his chin: "It's quite complicated to explain. Please allow me to keep my reasons for coming to Japan a secret for now. However, coincidence played a major role in my coming here."
Although Yuehai was very curious about Li Wei's affairs, there was no use in being curious if Li Wei didn't want to talk about it; everyone has their own secrets.
Li Wei took out his phone and dialed Sahashi Takami's private number. As an MBI member, she had very high authority and could even make various decisions on behalf of Mihiro. Therefore, Li Wei would contact Sahashi Takami directly for any matters. Although she was a woman, Sahashi Takami was more reliable than most men.
After explaining the situation to Li Wei, he hung up the phone.
Yuehai said, "What are you going to do next? I just pulled you out, and your game coins are still at the arcade. I'll go get them for you."
Li Wei said, "No need, anyone can take it, consider it my treat. But I didn't expect that Yuehai, a girl, would like such a high-intensity, fast-paced game like fighting games. Female players of fighting games are quite rare."
Yuehai said, "These are all prejudices of male players! Female players can also perform well in competitive games. For example, I may have some difficulty playing professionally, but most male players are no match for me."
Li Wei laughed and said, "Ah, yes, that's true. Although I haven't been playing that fighting game for very long, I've already defeated many professional players on Battle.net. Yuehai, you've already achieved a lot."
Yuehai said, "It was alright, so-so. By the way, you saved me this time. If you hadn't been by my side, I probably would have been defeated and kidnapped by them, and I don't know what would have happened to me. I have to thank you."
Li Wei said, "If you want to express your gratitude, just treat me to a meal."
Yuehai's face showed surprise. She hadn't expected Li Wei's request to be so low. Such a life-saving grace could not be repaid in any way. Yuehai wasn't stupid; she understood Li Wei's meaning. Li Wei didn't want to use this favor to ask her to do anything, so he chose to let her repay this debt now, and in such a simple way at that.
Yuehai thought for a moment. Since she was going to treat Li Wei to a meal, she had to choose something expensive and luxurious. Otherwise, it would be inappropriate.
Li Wei said, "I'm very interested in roadside ramen stalls. How about you treat me to some ramen?"
"Huh?!" Yuehai was genuinely surprised. She hadn't expected Li Wei's standards to be so low. A mobile ramen stall on the street was arguably the lowest-class thing, at the very bottom of the social hierarchy. Even Yoshinoya could look down on a street-side ramen stall.
Generally speaking, when Japanese people invite distinguished guests, they usually choose to dine at a restaurant like a ryotei (traditional Japanese restaurant) so that the guests feel respected.
Yuehai said, "Wouldn't a street-side ramen stall... be a bit too informal?"
Yuehai considered her words carefully. She was too embarrassed to say it directly, but in Japan, many people look down on street ramen stalls. Even if they eat there when they don't have money, they will still look down on them when they talk to others about street ramen stalls, just to save face.
Li Wei said, "But I really want to eat ramen."
Yuehai didn't know what to say. Looking at Li Wei's sincere yet slightly aggrieved expression, she was touched. A sweet feeling she couldn't quite describe made her wish that time could pass more slowly.
It didn't take long for MBI's retrieval department to arrive at the back of the arcade. Leading the team was once again a familiar face to Levi, Takami Sahashi. However, she was now accompanied by two members of the Punishment Team, Red Wing and Gray Wing. Considering the unrest in the Eastern Capital during this period, with the "mysterious organization" frequently making its presence felt, it was understandable that someone from MBI would bring two bodyguards when traveling.
Unlike the original storyline, considering the security situation in the Eastern Capital and MBI's control over the Sekirei game, the Punishment Team formed a branch team, which also consisted of three Sekirei plus one Ashimei, all four of whom were women.
After the punishment team was reinforced, the original defensive pressure was somewhat relieved. Therefore, when important MBI personnel were carrying out field missions, they could be accompanied by a punishment team member to ensure their safety.
Sahashi Takami entered the alleyway, which had been destroyed beyond recognition. Looking at the mess, she said, "Li Weijun, you've given me another surprise this time. MBI now owes you three favors."
Li Wei said, "I just don't want to see the Sekirei get hurt because of these things. At least the Sekirei Game has some bottom line, which can at least ensure that the Sekirei rarely die. But who knows what kind of torture the Sekirei will suffer if they fall into the hands of those guys. The practice of turning humans into mechanical weapons is evil. Organizations that can do such things are definitely not good people. So, although I don't gain anything from disrupting their operations, I'm happy to do it."
Sahashi Takami said, "While I appreciate your help, to be honest, aren't you afraid that organization will retaliate against you?"
Li Wei laughed and said, "If I were afraid, I wouldn't have done such a thing. I'll leave this to you."
Sahashi Takami said, "Okay, I'll send the gift directly to Izumo-sou after I receive it. MBI won't let you do this for nothing."
Sahashi Takami looked at Tsukimi, who was standing next to Li Wei. Tsukimi felt uncomfortable under Sahashi Takami's gaze. Tsukimi crossed her arms and turned her head slightly away, not daring to look at Sahashi Takami's curious and teasing eyes.
Sahashi Takami said, "Tsukimi, both I and your grandmother are very happy to see you find your own sprout. We didn't expect you to finally figure it out, and such a high-quality sprout at that. That's pretty good."
"That's not how it is at all! I..." Yuehai hesitated for a moment. She wanted to deny it, but when the words reached her lips, she found that her heart was wavering. She really didn't want to look for Weiya before, but when she met Li Wei, she found that her will was not as firm as she had imagined.
Chapter 1. The Elder's Nagging
Sahashi Takami looked at Tsukimi with amusement. Although she hadn't personally adjusted Tsukimi, the "grandmother" who adjusted Tsukimi was her and Mihiro's teacher in college. She was a very talented person, but due to gender discrimination in the Japanese scientific research community, she was unable to fully utilize her talents.
It was precisely because she was not only exceptionally talented but also their mentor that Hiroto and Takami Sahashi entrusted Tsukimi to this elderly woman for adjustments.
The old man had no children of his own, so he treated Tsukimi as his granddaughter. Because of this relationship, Tsukimi and Sahashi Takami also had a relationship similar to that of "relatives". The two communicated frequently on a regular basis. This was an important factor in Tsukimi's good access to information, since Tsukimi was considered to have connections.
Yuehai blushed and hurriedly said, "I'm not her sashimi, we're just..."
Sahashi Takami said, "If you're so busy explaining, even if there's really no connection, people will still misunderstand that there is. Besides, Li Weijun is a pretty good person. If you follow her, I'm not worried that you'll suffer. Maybe you can even stay with the team until the end and win without lifting a finger."
Sahashi Takami didn't really know Li Wei's strength, but so far, the strength Li Wei had shown was already amazing enough, and his probability of winning the final victory was dozens of times higher than that of the other contestants. That's why she suggested that Tsukimi follow Li Wei.
MBI possesses all the information about Reed Sprouts. While they cannot find the most detailed information about Levi, every time Levi makes a move, it results in an intelligence leak. Therefore, by now, MBI has a certain understanding of Levi, though it is uncertain, it is better than nothing.
Li Wei's personal strength is practically superhuman; if he were willing to take the initiative, destroying MBI overnight wouldn't be a problem. It is precisely because of this that Mihiroto dares not formulate any plans targeting Li Wei, fearing that this unstable element would disrupt his core plans. The two sides maintain a tacit understanding, neither crossing the other's bottom line.
However, what Mihiroto didn't know was that Li Wei was fully aware of his plan. The reason Li Wei was ignoring it now was more of a "I'll just quietly watch your performance" attitude. To be honest, Mihiroto was actually afraid of Li Wei.
As the initiator of the Sekirei Game Plan, Mihiro was well aware of the potential obstacles it might encounter. Miya of Izumo-sou was the biggest obstacle. Of course, that was in the past. Now, the biggest destabilizing factor was no longer Miya, but Li Wei. Miya, after all, was the Sekirei Queen, bound by Haotian. Even if she didn't want to, she had to accept the final stage of the game; it was only a matter of time. But Li Wei was a completely new variable. Before fully understanding Li Wei's true intentions, Mihiro dared not make any major moves against Izumo-sou.
Li Wei said, "Director Zuoqiao, if there's nothing else, Yuehai and I will take our leave now."
Yuehai snapped out of her daze and quickly said, "That's right, that's right. If there's nothing else, we'll be going now."
Seeing Tsukimi's uncomfortable expression, Sahashi Takami knew her words had embarrassed the other. Tsukimi was a junior she had watched grow up, and that was precisely why she cared about what kind of prospective lover Tsukimi would choose. After all, a Sekirei's search for her prospective lover involved a considerable element of luck. Finding a good prospective lover could lead to a dreamlike romance, but if the wrong person was chosen, it would only end in tragedy. What she hated most were prospective lovers like Hyoga Izumi of the Eastern forces, who completely used Sekirei as tools. However, constrained by the established rules, she couldn't say anything.
Sahashi Takami said, "Go ahead, go ahead. Let this old auntie clean up this mess. You young people should go on dates, but remember to take precautions. This is the playful stage. If you have a baby now, it will be very troublesome."
Yuehai's face flushed red, and her voice unconsciously rose as she said, "No way!"
Li Wei gently tugged at Yue Hai and whispered, "If we stay here any longer, we might hear even stranger things later. Let's go."
Tsukimi realized that it was indeed true. To her, Sahashi Takami was like an elder with whom she had a good relationship, and it was normal for an elder to care about a junior's marriage. If she stayed here, she might be teased in some way, and the worst part was that she wouldn't be able to refute it. The best course of action now was to just leave.
Li Wei and Yuehai left the alley where they had fought. Japan is a country with a high population density, with a large number of people concentrated in the three major metropolitan areas. Other places are sparsely populated, and the Eastern Capital, where every inch of land is precious, always gives people a very "dense" feeling.
