Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

The only difference is that this time it turned into an ordinary person.

The hunting urge in her heart disappeared, and Shuiyue had never felt that the world was as beautiful as it is now.

His body cannot deform and twist into tentacles, and even if he is injured, it will not heal within a second. He is now a completely ordinary person.

How wonderful it would be if all this was not a dream...

Although Shuiyue was assimilated into Haihe, it also gave him some special abilities, such as... His knowledge of the world far exceeded that of ordinary humans. Almost the moment he woke up, Shuiyue Yue realized that he existed in this world in a very strange form.

His body is still sealed, and what appears outside now... seems to be only his consciousness.

Shuiyue had such a vague feeling that if he died now, he might return to the seal that plunged him into nothingness.

The two of them remained silent, maintaining a rare tacit understanding, until the boss came out of the back kitchen again, breaking the somewhat stiff situation here.

Putting a dish that was even richer than the previous one in front of Shuiyue, the boss said angrily, "Here, kid, I won't do such a good thing next time."

After coming back to her senses, Shuiyue showed a sincere smile to her boss,

"Thank you, boss."

Chapter 114 Reaching Cooperation

"What do you want to say?"

Seeing Shuiyue's abnormal attitude, the boss immediately became alert.

His intuition told him that there must be nothing good going on with this kid's expression.

"It's nothing, I just want to thank you boss for taking me in."

He glanced at Shuiyue with some suspicion. After making sure that he really had no other ideas, he withdrew his gaze.

When Li Ang wanted to pay, he suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have the currency used in this city.

The coins used here are those of Letania that were eliminated decades ago. Li Ang did not prepare such rare things, but fortunately he still had some hard currency.

"I don't have cash with me, can I use this to pay the bill?"

With that said, Li Ang took out a standard red gold ingot from his pocket.

Red gold and source stones can be used anywhere, but there may be some fluctuations in value.

"There are too many guests. You can't even use so much if you buy all my inventory today..."

When the boss saw it, he was immediately embarrassed.

It's really hard to estimate the value of this thing. He doesn't have that much change in the store, so he can't find it for a while.

"It doesn't matter, the rest is just your reward for taking care of him during this period,"

Li Ang stuffed the piece of red gold into the boss's arms, "Besides, I have something to ask Shui Yue to help with. Is it okay to lend him to me for a few days?"

"This... okay."

After looking at Shui Yue and finding that he really had no objection, the boss nodded and put away the red gold.

"Let's go."

Li Ang left the izakaya first, and Shuiyue followed him out obediently.

If you ignore the things he did in Sagazaki City, he is just a weak and pitiful ordinary child.

At this time, the sky outside was just getting bright, and the rising sun somewhat dispelled part of the haze that shrouded Kabukicho. After walking to the street, Li Ang pulled up his mask again.

Fortunately, the boss didn't recognize him just now, otherwise it would have been a lot of trouble.

After taking Shui Yue into the deserted alley next to him and making sure that no one around him noticed what was going on here, Li Ang said, "Actually, it was just a simple accident that I met you here."

"But since you followed me out, I think you should be mentally prepared, right?"

Nodding slightly, Suigetsu said, "Are you looking for me because of the child named Liu Yi?"

"That's right, he's the one you're chasing."

Even though Shuiyue had experienced a lot of storms, his face turned slightly red when Li Ang said this.

At that time, he was completely out of control, and everything he did was not his intention. However, Shuiyue did not defend himself, but asked, "Is her condition...the same as mine?"

"It's not exactly the same. Your two situations should be the most similar."

Li Ang explained, "You two were the only ones brought to this place by us while losing your consciousness."

"Hey, that's how it is..."

Shuiyue did not ask where he was now, but nodded and said, "I can help you, but... I also have a condition."

"... Just tell me, as long as it's not too much of a request, I can agree to it."

Of course, it was impossible for Li Ang to agree to such a request as letting him leave.

No matter how harmless Suigetsu appears now, that's just who he is now. When his consciousness returns to the body of Haiji, he probably won't be able to maintain his current state. After all, that body is Watched by the gods.

However, Shuiyue made a request that made Li Ang somewhat unexpected.

"After this is over, if I still haven't returned to normal, please kill me."

In Li Ang's slightly surprised eyes, Shui Yue smiled faintly, "Why, is my request strange?"

"It's weird,"

Li Ang nodded and said frankly, "I thought you would guarantee your survival no matter what."

When they were in Sagazaki City, it was because Kaiji's survival instinct defeated Suigetsu's will that it caused that disaster. But now that Suigetsu actually asked for death, it really surprised Li Ang.

"Compared to not being able to control my own body, I still think it's better to just die." There was a hint of sadness in Shuiyue's tone.

Although he has no such experience, Li Ang can understand his feelings.

"If it's just this request, then I can agree to it."

"Thank you."

Shuiyue showed a smile, and part of the melancholy atmosphere that enveloped him was dissipated.

In this regard, they have temporarily reached cooperation.

"So, is there anything I can do to help?" Shuiyue pretended to be pitiful and said, "I am just an ordinary person now. If my head is cut off, I will really die."

"...That's not important. I never thought about asking you to help fight."

Suppressing the desire to complain, Li Ang explained to Shui Yue, "What I want is the information you know."

"information?"

Shuiyue tilted his head, looking a little confused.

He didn't understand why he couldn't even figure out his current situation, but Li Ang thought that the little he knew could help.

"Don't you think this place is a little strange? It's very similar to the scene in your memory, but there are many differences."

"...It's kind of weird."

Not long after Shui Yue regained consciousness, and was still shocked why the boss appeared in front of him again, and when there was no change as before, the evil guest Li Ang had already come to the door.

However, in this short period of time, Shuiyue also discovered many important clues.

"This place...could it be formed based on my memory? But there are too many messy things...I don't remember seeing those things."

For example, Shuiyue had never seen the pile of coins that the boss took out from the cash register.

It’s been 1095 years, which country still uses coins, which is such a troublesome thing!

"You're right, but there's something wrong."

"This city was mapped on the basis of Ryu's memory, but our memories also interfered with this place, which is why it became so strange. This is a mixture of people who have the deepest image in everyone's heart. .”

"So this is ah!"

Shuiyue suddenly realized.

"So what you want to know is the part affected by my memory?"

Chapter 115 Fishing Village

Compared with other people, Suigetsu, who was assimilated into Haihe, undoubtedly fell into the category of 'abnormal'.

His memory will have a completely unknown impact here, which is what Li Ang is worried about.

If a large number of ichthyosaurs suddenly appeared from any corner, even if they were fake and unable to leave the range of this mountain range, it would be enough to give Li Ang a stomachache. He did not want to experience another biological crisis here.

And seriously speaking, Suiyue is the one who has the closest connection with Riui among them. Suiyue knew Riui more than half a year before they did.

"But even if you say that, I don't know what to tell you..." Shuiyue seemed a little embarrassed.

He didn't know where to start talking about such a mindless thing.

"Let me tell you our rough speculation first. If you think of anything, you can tell me again."

Li Ang is not in a hurry. Since Shui Yue has shown a cooperative attitude, as long as he takes him with him, he will always gain something.

So Li Ang simply told Shui Yue his guess.

"You're saying that although you don't know where the girl is now, there is a high probability that she will be connected to a certain church, so you are ready to start from the source?"

Li Ang nodded.

Shuiyue showed a thoughtful expression.

"As for the church... maybe I actually know one, but I don't know if it's what you said."

...He actually really knows?

However, considering the special nature of this city, Li Ang didn't seem that surprised.

What will appear here are the deepest memories in everyone's heart, and everything has a reason for its existence.

"What church?" Li Ang asked quickly.

Shuiyue was silent for a moment, his eyes looking a little complicated.

"...I'd better take you directly to have a look."

With that said, he turned around and walked towards the back of the izakaya.

Following Suigetsu to the back of the izakaya, what appeared in front of them was a winding path that led to no one knows where.

The existence of this path is obviously very unreasonable, and it is a bit out of place with everything around it, but he just appears here, just like the different neighborhoods in this Taoyuan City that have been pieced together.

Shui Yue walked in front and took the initiative to explain to Li Ang, "This road... leads to my village."

"I've said it before, I was born in a small fishing village near the sea in Dongguo. That village had almost no communication with the big cities outside, so it led to a very poor life. All the villagers relied on fishing in the sea. To make a living.”

"A village like this that doesn't even have a name may disappear from the map one day, but we survived, and even survived in that place for many years."

Li Ang thought about it in his mind and suddenly felt that something was not right.

It’s not unusual for people to make a living from fishing, but what’s problematic is… a fishing village?

An entire village depends on fishing for a living?

Shuiyue also said that their village is close to the sea, and fishing in the sea is completely different from fishing in inland rivers and lakes. If it is a big company, it may be able to come up with something that can make it stable in the sea. Technology for catching fish, but such a group of poor people who may not even be able to afford food...how can they survive by fishing?

As long as there is no harvest after a few trips to sea, a lot of people in the village may starve to death.

"How did you survive there?"

Li Ang raised his own question, "Is it because of the church you mentioned?"

"...You guessed it right."

Shuiyue replied without looking back, "When I was a child, I didn't think there was anything strange, but now that I think about it... there are so many things wrong. The people in the village must have been used as experimental subjects by the people in the church. .”

"That church has a magical ability. If they take their people out to sea, the fish will try their best to get into the fishing net as if they are committing suicide."

"Because of their abilities, there is never a shortage of food in the village, but those people's status in the village is also supreme."

After all, without the power of that church, the people in the village would starve to death.

They have the ability to attract schools of fish, so they should also be able to make a person go out to sea without harvesting anything.

Maybe the village where Shuiyue came from didn't want to communicate with outside towns, but the church didn't allow them to do so.

In such an isolated place, having such a group of obedient villagers is equivalent to having an experimental field that can be harvested and utilized repeatedly.
