"Hehe, Kagami Arata and I have long since lost the ability to transform."
Even Hikawa Makoto, who usually keeps his expression under control, couldn't help but reveal a hint of helplessness at this moment.
"This is the price we paid, but we can still be observed by you."
Kagami sighed, feeling a strange longing for someone.
"The rest of the knights have all perished in that great battle, and we don't know where they went."
When the topic of the major battle at the end of 09 came up, Yuuki asked with great curiosity, "Do you know exactly what happened in that battle?"
Faced with this question, Kagami Arata and Hikawa Makoto both shook their heads: "We don't know. That memory has long been completely erased. That history does not exist in this time and space. Only a few beginnings and ends remain, allowing us to glimpse a little."
They were able to retain some of their memories because they personally participated in that great battle, and they were not weaklings to begin with.
"No wonder..."
Upon hearing their words, Yuuki suddenly realized what they meant.
No wonder he had secretly captured a few strange people to inquire about their situation, but hadn't gotten any information.
Those strange people who can keep resurrecting have probably completely forgotten about this matter through repeated resurrections.
"What we're facing this time is the lingering effects of that incident."
Without dwelling on the great war, Makoto Hikawa returned to the main topic and talked about their mission.
"The knight who was supposed to appear in 10 years disappeared. Without the knight, the city became a paradise for monsters after it descended into the real world."
"But this city is not dead; it is alive. Under the constant harassment of these strange people, it is about to awaken!"
A brief introduction from the document was read aloud by Bingchuan Cheng, which made the four people present sit up straight.
"Our mission is to investigate why the wind has awakened and to prevent it from waking up again."
"It is said that once this city awakens, the entire Earth will undergo extremely terrifying changes."
The task seems simple, but it is not simple at all.
The group of people present fell into deep thought. After a moment of contemplation, Youxing spoke up.
"Perhaps we should start the investigation with the largest family in Fengdu."
Yuuki was very grateful to Ms. Miwako, because it was because of her words that he learned about some of the situation in Fuuto.
"The Sonozaki family? But the information says they're just a powerful family, but they probably have nothing to do with our case."
Hikawa Makoto flipped through the documents in his hand but found nothing unusual.
"In an unusual event, the biggest unusual thing is that there is no unusual thing."
"The information in the document is from half a month ago. Maybe by the time we get there, the family will already be gone."
Hikawa Makoto's guess makes a lot of sense, but Yuuki neither agrees nor disagrees.
"Some things you have to see for yourself to know."
Hikawa Makoto understood Yuuki's concerns and nodded: "After we arrive, we will split into two teams and investigate separately, which will be more efficient."
Worried that something might happen to the others, Yuuki patted Eiji on the shoulder: "I'll let Eiji go over there. I can act on my own."
He could only feel at ease if Shinku and Kurisu were by Shinatsu's side, which was why he called Eiji back from his exploration of Helheim.
Otherwise, many people would probably have died in this incident.
"it is good."
Knowing that his side was outmatched, Hikawa Makoto did not refuse.
Eiji wouldn't refuse. He had his own ulterior motives for helping out, and it wouldn't be easy for him to act while he was with Yuuki.
After discussing some matters, the group returned to their respective private rooms.
Standing by the window, watching the wilderness outside the train rushing past, Youxing felt a little heavy-hearted.
He had a bad feeling, a feeling he hadn't had in a long time.
Since he became stronger, ordinary bad luck has no effect on him at all.
"After saving up all this time, are you finally going to give me a big one?"
As he was thinking this, there was a knock on the door.
He turned around, opened the door, and a petite figure rushed in, bumping headfirst into Youxing's chest.
Yu Xing was knocked back several steps. He rubbed his aching chest and grimaced.
"Could you be a little gentler next time?"
He put his arm around Manatsu and asked.
"Hehe, that way I can see some strange expressions on Yuuki's face."
Manatsu raised her hand and rubbed Yuuki's face: "You always have that cold, sour look on your face, it's really unsightly."
Yu Xing stiffened, her expression softening slightly.
It wasn't that he wanted to be like this, but rather that he couldn't muster any other expression; his emotions were constantly on the verge of indifference.
"That's much better, otherwise people would say I have a dead fish face."
Seeing that Yuuki had calmed down a bit, Manatsu was very satisfied.
Yuuki glanced at Manatsu, then got up and closed the door to the private room.
"Why did you come looking for me so late?"
He relaxed, lazily sprawled on the sofa in the private room, and reached out to pull Manatsu into his arms.
Chapter 118 Midnight Attack
"Oh, please don't do that."
Yuuki's movements were too exaggerated, and Manatsu exclaimed in surprise, nudging him.
But when she couldn't push Yuuki away, she stayed peacefully in Yuuki's arms and began to explain why she had come.
"I've been busy all day and I'm so bored, so I thought I'd chat with you for a bit."
As someone who is overly enthusiastic, Manatsu spends most of the day in her car or room, which is really making her uncomfortable.
It was a very simple request; Yuuki patted Manatsu's head.
"Tell me, what is the city we're going to be like?"
Fengdu, as the name suggests, is a city with wind.
According to the information, Yuuki told Manatsu about the scenery, local specialties, and so on related to the Japanese capital.
Manatsu nestled in Yuuki's arms, listening to the story in a daze. In truth, she didn't care whether the story was exciting or not; she just wanted to stay by Yuuki's side.
Night had fallen, and on the desolate plain, apart from the rumble of the train rolling over the rails, only a few faint whispers drifted in the air.
Soon, Manatsu felt herself getting sleepy, and while listening to Yuuki's mundane stories, she quietly fell asleep in his arms.
Holding Manatsu in his arms, Yuuki was at a loss for what to do. After thinking for a moment, he took his phone off the counter and called Shinku.
Meanwhile, Shinku was still complaining to Kobayashi Natsu about how boring the trip was when he suddenly received a call from Yuuki. He hurriedly answered the call.
"Come to my place."
Yuuki spoke in a very calm tone, but Shinku felt a little creeped out.
His hands trembled slightly, and Gu Linxia immediately looked over.
"what's the situation?"
Gu Linxia asked, but Zhen Hong didn't answer and left dejectedly.
When he arrived at Yuuki's room, Shinku realized that things were not as he had thought.
He didn't hear Yuuki's criticism; he only saw the rare tenderness in Yuuki's eyes.
The words she wanted to say were stuck in her chest, neither here nor there. Shinku lowered her head slightly, not looking at the person in Yuuki's arms.
"Shinhong, go and get me two blankets."
Yuuki spoke softly, but Shinku didn't say anything. Instead, she took a blanket from the chair next to her and handed it to Yuuki.
Yuuki covered Manatsu with the blanket and didn't move, but quietly snuggled up to Manatsu.
The train headed east, weaving through the quiet night, where even the moonlight seemed softer.
As time passed, it soon became midnight, and apart from the faint sound of breathing, there was no other sound in the room.
Yu Xing didn't rest, but stared at the ceiling, quietly waiting for something.
"Clang...clang...clang..."
Not long after, a slight noise came from the top of the train, which did not escape Yuuki's ears.
But he didn't move, sitting there calmly and unhurriedly.
Soon, a slightly muffled footstep sound appeared on the roof of the train, and within a few seconds, the faint footsteps disappeared completely.
A message popped up on the phone while it was in Do Not Disturb mode. Youxing glanced at it and then closed it.
Without a doubt, those strange people who appeared have been dealt with by Kobayashi Natsu and Shinku together.
Faced with the power of a hegemon, these scum have no chance of breaking through.
"The first night was definitely not going to be peaceful. What is it about Fengdu that makes these guys go to such lengths to stop us?"
Yuuki really couldn't understand it.
From the beginning of the incident until now, a large number of strange people have appeared, all in an effort to prevent them from going to Futo.
"At the very end of the great war, are there really so many covetous eyes?"
This was an operation even larger in scale than the battle against the White King in Helheim. Within Yuuki's perception range alone, he could detect more than a dozen different auras.
Like celestial eyes, they closely followed the train, constantly monitoring its movements.
Yu Xing was too lazy to clean them up; he was certain that once this batch was removed, the next batch would soon reappear on the train.
"The seal won't last much longer either."
