"You are... Lu Yi?" Just as the woman was about to answer Lu Yi, a questioning voice came from behind Lu Yi. Lu Yi turned around and saw that it was none other than the man with glasses. The man standing next to him was the person Lu Yi was looking for, and also the nominal boss of Ya Yin - Takayama Mioshi.
"Hey, bespectacled guy, I didn't expect you guys to actually be here. What a stroke of luck!" Lu Yi said with a smile when he saw the bespectacled guy and Takayama Mioshi.
"What are you two doing here?" The bespectacled man's lips twitched when he heard Lu Yi call him that. He then pulled Lu Yi and Ya Yin aside and asked in a low voice.
"Of course I came to see you guys. Otherwise, what do you think I'd be doing here? Showing off?" Lu Yi rolled his eyes at the bespectacled man and said.
"Looking for us? Then what do you want with us?" the bespectacled man asked again.
"What else could I have done? My woman works for your company, and I didn't originally intend to interfere. But yesterday, you called Ya Yin in the middle of the night, telling her to go out to work. That made me suspicious, so I secretly followed her. I never expected..." Lu Yi trailed off, staring blankly at the bespectacled man and Takayama Mioshi, his tone dark as he said, "If I hadn't followed her yesterday, who knows what would have happened. You owe me an explanation!"
After Lu Yi finished speaking, the bespectacled man remained silent, only turning his gaze to Takayama Mioshi. Takayama Mioshi, in turn, looked calmly at Lu Yi and said, "Alright, if you really want to know, I'll tell you..."
"Chief..." The bespectacled man standing to the side wanted to dissuade Takayama Mioshi from telling such an important matter to an ordinary person, but Takayama Mioshi stopped him. Seeing Takayama Mioshi's resolute eyes, the bespectacled man said nothing more and stood aside.
"This isn't the place to talk, let's go outside!" With that, Bian Dang walked out of the ship first, and Lu Yi and the other two followed.
After the four men left, Mioshi Takayama called over the staff and asked them to put a small lifeboat out to sea. The four men then boarded the boat and headed towards Japan.
"Now, ask whatever you want!" Takayama Mioshi said after seeing Lu Yi sit down opposite him. "But before you ask, I'd like to ask you, haven't you asked Ya Yin yet?"
"No, but I don't know much about Ya Yin. People like you won't tell all your secrets, so instead of asking Ya Yin, it's better to ask you directly."
"Do you think I'll tell you everything?"
"will not!"
"Oh??? Then why are you even asking?"
"Hehe... I know you won't tell me everything, but there's a condition: if I show you something, you'll tell me everything without missing a single detail!" Lu Yi said with a cold smile, looking at Takayama Mioshi.
"Really? What is that?" Takayama Mioshi asked with interest after hearing Lu Yi's words.
"You'll find out soon enough!" Lu Yi said to Takayama Mioshi. After saying that, he ignored Takayama Mioshi and turned his gaze towards the dock. He sat there motionless, as if waiting for something.
Seeing Lu Yi's strange behavior, Takayama Mioshi followed his gaze and was startled to see something rapidly flying towards them from the direction of the dock.

Chapter Twelve: Strength!
As time went by, the black dot in the distance grew larger and larger. Soon, the true face of the black dot was revealed to everyone. It was a woman, or more precisely, a woman wearing blue armor. Lu Yi and Ya Yin were familiar with this woman. She was the short-haired woman who had fought with Lu Yi yesterday—Du Zhukan. Although Takayama Mioshi and the bespectacled man next to him did not know who this woman was or what her name was, her appearance told them her identity.
Although Lu Yi and Ya Yin both knew that this woman was the short-haired woman from last night, the armor she was wearing was different from what they had seen yesterday. It had changed from a single-handed weapon to a two-handed weapon, and there was also a big change in appearance. But that wasn't the most important thing. What was important was that Lu Yi could clearly feel that the life force in her body was draining away at a speed that was unimaginable to ordinary people. If it continued to drain away at this speed, Lu Yi was sure that she would die in less than half an hour.
"Huff huff..."
Meanwhile, Ya Yin's breathing became increasingly rapid, her entire body trembling slightly as if she were enduring something. The red light around her body flickered incessantly, and as the woman drew closer, the frequency of the red light flickering increased. At this point, Ya Yin had reached her limit of endurance, and just as she was about to transform, a warm and gentle energy flowed from her forehead into her body, slowly circulating within her. Then, Ya Yin felt the energy within her body, which was about to erupt, being gradually soothed by this gentle energy until it calmed down.
Just as Ya Yin's turbulent energy stabilized, Tsuzuki Kan arrived above them. In mid-air, Tsuzuki Kan twisted her waist and charged down towards the crowd below. Her target was none other than Ya Yin, who had just stabilized, and the weapons in her hands stabbed down with incredible speed.
"snort..."
Seeing this, Lu Yi snorted coldly, stood in front of Ya Yin, then clenched his right fist and slammed it hard at the swooping Du Zhukan. "Bang!!!" After a dull sound, Du Zhukan flew backward like a kite with a broken string, and then "splash" into the water, splashing up a huge spray.
"You guys stay here, I'll take care of that guy!" Seeing Tsuzuki Kan fall into the water, Lu Yi turned to the three shocked people and said. He then jumped off the boat and into the water. Although he jumped into the water, Lu Yi did not sink. Instead, he stood on the surface of the water and slowly walked towards where Tsuzuki Kan had fallen. This bizarre scene left the three who had just come to their senses stunned again. The bespectacled man and Takayama Mioshi looked at Lu Yi with horror.
They had never witnessed such a bizarre scene before. If Lu Yi were wearing a WITCHBLADE or CLONEBLADE, they wouldn't be so surprised. But Lu Yi wasn't wearing anything at all, yet he was able to do this. How strong must he be? Even a fool could tell that this was something no ordinary person could do.
"You will tell me everything, but there is one condition: as long as I show you one thing, you will definitely tell me everything you know!" Rei Takayama recalled what Lu Yi had just said and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Then, with a complicated expression, he looked at Lu Yi standing on the water. Now he finally knew what Lu Yi meant by showing him: the strength that Lu Yi was currently displaying.
"Chief..." At this moment, the bespectacled man, who had regained consciousness, came to Takayama Mioshi's side and called out in a low voice.
"No need to say anything, just keep watching!" Hearing the bespectacled man's words, Takayama Mioshi waved his hand and said, but his eyes never left Lu Yi's figure.
Upon hearing Mioshi Takayama's words, the bespectacled man said nothing more, stood beside him, and turned his gaze to Lu Yi on the water's surface.
Regardless of their thoughts, Lu Yi had already arrived at the place where Tsuzuki Kan had fallen into the water.
"Splash—"
As soon as Lu Yi stepped into the water, he saw the once calm surface ripple. Then, the water splashed again, and a figure rushed out of the water and rushed towards Lu Yi. The speed was so fast that ordinary people could only see the splashing water on the surface and could not see the figure.
Lu Yi watched as Du Zhukan rushed towards him, a cold smile playing on his lips. He slowly raised his hands, his gaze never leaving Du Zhukan's figure. Then, as Lu Yi moved, five thin water columns suddenly erupted from the water's surface, sweeping towards Du Zhukan who was charging towards him. At this moment, the blade in Du Zhukan's hand was already inches away, and just as it was about to pierce him, Du Zhukan's body suddenly stopped. This extreme movement followed by extreme stillness made the three people on the boat feel like vomiting but couldn't, leaving them extremely frustrated and looking at Lu Yi with pale faces.
Even so, the shock in the hearts of the three of them had reached an unparalleled level. What had they seen? They had actually witnessed a scene that could only be seen in novels and movies—magic?!
Is this really magic? The answer is definitely no!!!
What Lu Yi demonstrated was merely a simple application of mental power; it was not magic or any profound spell.
Seeing that Du Zhukan was bound, Lu Yi struck her in the neck artery with a chop without thinking, causing her eyes to roll back and she to faint instantly. Then he saw a flash of blue light on her body, and the transformation was over. Moreover, Lu Yi could clearly feel that her life, which was originally flowing out rapidly, stopped the moment she turned off the transformation.
Then Lu Yi waved his right hand, and the five water columns binding Du Zhukan turned into raindrops, which fell into the water and disappeared.
As the water column disappeared, Lu Yi grabbed Du Zhukan, who was about to fall into the water, and slowly carried her back to the boat.

Chapter Thirteen: The Visit
After boarding the ship, Lu Yi casually tossed the Tsuzuki Kan onto the deck, then turned to Takayama Mioji and said with a smile, "Well? Am I qualified to know everything now?"
“Yes, you are qualified!” Mioshi Takayama said to Lu Yi with a wry smile.
"A wise choice!" Upon hearing Takayama Mioshi's words, Lu Yi knew that he was planning to confess everything to him. However, all of this was within Lu Yi's expectations. Even if Takayama Mioshi did not agree, Lu Yi would not be surprised at all, because Lu Yi had already thought of all of this. Of course, if he did not agree, Lu Yi would take extreme measures.
Takayama Mioshi understood what Lu Yi meant, glanced at Lu Yi without saying anything, and looked towards the dock. Lu Yi saw Takayama Mioshi's expression, smiled, and also looked towards the dock.
Due to the dense fog at sea, it wasn't until they were almost at the shore that they could see a small Guo ship on the dock. By then, the number of people on the dock had increased significantly. Fortunately, the foggy weather prevented ordinary people from seeing what had just happened; otherwise, Lu Yi and his companions would have been on the front page of today's newspapers.
Before long, the ship docked, and Lu Yi and the others disembarked one after another.
"My secretary seems to be here!" Just as Lu Yi and the others reached the shore, they saw a woman with long hair walking towards them. She glanced at Lu Yi and Ya Yin, then looked at Takayama Mioshi beside her. Her face was expressionless, and she was a cold woman.
Everyone present recognized the woman, but Lu Yi and Ya Yin had only met her once. However, the bespectacled man and Takayama Mioshi were old acquaintances with her. Takayama Mioshi nodded to her and said "Hmm," then pointed to Tsuzuki Kan, who was still lying on the ship and had not yet woken up, and said, "She's right there!"
"Thank you!" The long-haired woman said to Takayama Mioshi before walking onto the boat, picking up Tsuzuki Kan, and then going ashore towards a red sports car parked by the roadside. However, just as she was carrying Tsuzuki Kan past Lu Yi, Lu Yi spoke up: "You'd better not let her use that thing anymore. That thing is too dangerous. If she uses it again, the consequences will be unimaginable! I think you've already noticed the changes in her body, haven't you?"
"...I understand, thank you!" Upon hearing Lu Yi's words, the long-haired woman stopped, turned her head to look at Lu Yi, her face expressionless and her gaze very cold. However, she still thanked Lu Yi and then continued walking.
Lu Yi shook his head, looking at her indifferent expression with a bored expression, and ignored her. He turned his gaze to Takayama Mioshi and said, "I will be visiting you tonight, so be prepared!"
"I understand, I'll be waiting for your grand arrival tonight!" Takayama Mioshi said to Lu Yi, then took a taxi with the bespectacled man and left.
"Alright, we should head back now, or Li Hui will get worried!" Seeing that everyone had left, Lu Yi smiled at Ya Yin. Without waiting for Ya Yin's reply, he put his arm around her slender waist and walked to the road. Then he hailed a taxi, got in, and sped away.
Guided by Lu Yi, the driver quickly arrived at their destination—the Naiyue Building.
Upon arriving at their destination, Lu Yi and Ya Yin got out of the car and walked into the building.
"We're back!" Lu Yi shouted as he opened the door.
However, there was no answer. Upon closer inspection, everyone was staring blankly at Lu Yi and Ya Yin, their faces filled with shock. Time seemed to stand still as both sides stared at each other with wide eyes.
"Wow..."
Time passed second by second. Just when Lu Yi and Ya Lingchen were feeling uncomfortable being stared at by them, a scream suddenly rang out, breaking the stalemate between the two sides.
"Mom and Dad, you look so beautiful today!" The moment the voice rang out, a petite figure rushed out from the crowd and threw herself into Lu Yi's arms. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Lu Yi and Ya Yin.
Upon seeing the figure rushing towards them, Lu Yi knew who it was. He crouched down and hugged her tightly before standing up. Hearing her words, Lu Yi realized that he and Ya Yin were still wearing formal clothes. When they wore formal attire, they were in a completely different light than usual, which explained their shocked expressions.
"Don't use the word 'beautiful' to describe your dad, use 'handsome,' understand? I don't know how many times I've told you, how come you can't remember?" Lu Yi flicked Li Huizi's forehead with his hand, looking annoyed.
"Oh... But Mom and Dad, you both look really beautiful today!!!" Rieko looked at Lu Yi and then at Ya Yin, and said with a serious expression.
Upon hearing Li Huizi's words, Lu Yi rolled his eyes and decided not to dwell on the topic any longer. He then turned his gaze to the group of people opposite him who had regained their senses and said, "I said, you're all awake now, right?"
"Ah, ah, yes..."
"It's good that you're awake. Well then, let's go back to our room and rest!" After Lu Yi finished speaking, he ignored them, picked up Li Huizi, and went back to the room with Ya Yin. He then changed his clothes, lay on the bed, and closed his eyes to think about what had happened that day.
Night fell quietly before people even realized it.
After saying goodbye to Ya Yin and the others, Lu Yi headed towards Takayama Mioshi.

Chapter Fourteen: Old Stories
The Special Machines Bureau of the Guided Heavy Industries is an important place that specializes in researching WITCHBLADE and manufacturing I-Weapons. The person in charge here is Mioshi Takayama, who is known as the Director.
At this moment, Mioshi Takayama, the director of the Special Machinery Bureau of Heavy Industry, was sitting in an executive chair in his office. He was leaning back in the chair, his head resting on the back of the chair, one hand on his forehead, and staring blankly at the night sky, seemingly lost in thought.
"Director, Lu Yi is here!" Just then, the office door opened, and the bespectacled man walked in, speaking softly to Takayama Mioshi, who had his back to him.
"Okay, let him in!" Hearing the bespectacled man's voice, Takayama Mioshi snapped out of his daze, turned around to face him, and said.
"Okay." The bespectacled man replied, then turned and walked outside, disappearing through the doorway. Not long after, he returned with Lu Yi.
"You're here, come and sit down!" Takayama Mioshi said, pointing to a chair next to the desk as Lu Yi walked in.
Lu Yi, without mincing words, walked over to a chair and plopped down. Once seated, he didn't speak, simply crossing his arms and staring intently at Lu Yi with a barely perceptible smile. Lu Yi was waiting for Lu Yi to tell him the truth himself. Whether genuinely unaware or feigning ignorance, Lu Yi seemed oblivious to the obvious meaning in his eyes, simply meeting Lu Yi's gaze. The two remained silently locked in this staring contest, neither speaking first. The atmosphere in the office suddenly became heavy, growing increasingly so as time passed, like a mountain pressing down on the bespectacled man watching from the side, making it hard for him to breathe.
"Um... I mean... you two..." After a while, the bespectacled man next to him could no longer bear the pressure that seemed to come from the depths of his soul, and had no choice but to speak up.
"Hiroki Segawa, tell him everything!" Mio Takayama heard the bespectacled man's words and knew that things couldn't continue like this, so he looked at the bespectacled man and said.
"Okay." Hearing Takayama Mioshi's words, the bespectacled man was overjoyed, thinking: I can finally get rid of this oppressive atmosphere. He hurriedly agreed and picked up a remote control on the table, intending to turn on the video and explain everything to Lu Yi. However, at this moment, Lu Yi interrupted the bespectacled man's next move.
"Before I explain, I'd like to ask a personal question. Is that alright?" Lu Yi said, looking at Takayama Mioshi.
"Please tell me if you have any questions."
"Is Rieko your biological daughter?"
"..." Takayama Mioshi was clearly taken aback by Lu Yi's question, but after a moment's thought, he gave Lu Yi a definite answer, saying, "Yes!"
"I knew it! No wonder your eyes were so strange every time you saw Rieko, now I understand!" Hearing Takayama Mioshi's affirmative answer, Lu Yi's face showed a look of realization, and then he asked with a gossipy look, "If I'm not mistaken, Rieko's biological mother, that is, your wife, should be the long-haired woman we saw today, right? Hey, can you tell me what's going on between you and that woman?"
"That's right, her name is Su Feng Lingna, she's from NSWF. At that time, our guide and NSWF were jointly researching WITCHBLADE. Just as we were conducting our research, NSWF suddenly sent a woman to us, that was Su Feng Lingna." Takayama Mioshi said with a look of reminiscence, "She was an excellent woman, intelligent, moral, physically strong, and beautiful... NSWF's NEO-GIN is like that, it's quite astonishing... But, just when we made a great breakthrough in our research on WITCHBLADE, she suddenly disappeared before my eyes without any warning, along with WITCHBLADE."
"There's no need to even think about it, she must have stolen it."
“At first I thought it was just an instruction from NSWF.” Takayama Mioshi did not refute Lu Yi’s words, but simply nodded, and then continued, “Rena and WITCHBLADE disappeared together, without a trace. Perhaps she had already decided to keep WITCHBLADE for herself.”
"Oh???? Wasn't it said that WITCHBLADE has autonomy and can choose its own master?"
