Swordsman Returns from Another World

"At least let us go and help, master, there must be something we can do." Lappland said.

Texas looked at Baiyue, nodded slightly, and said firmly: "I want to be with you."

The hand holding the white glaze belt buckle paused for a moment, looked at the two people in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Okay, you can, but don't be too stubborn, just follow my orders."

"If it's really as I guessed, the opponent this time might not be easy to deal with. Besides, the fewer people who go, the better."

Seeing that Baiyou was so cautious, Lapland and Texas looked at each other, saw the solemnity in each other's eyes, and nodded.

Lapland jumped out of bed, hopped off the bed and went to get her clothes.

Texas gently moved his long legs out of the bed, dropped them to the ground, then stood up on tiptoe and kissed Baiyou's cheek again.

Chapter 563: Arturo

Although they had only slept for a few hours, Texas and Lapland were very strong and quickly recovered and were ready to set off.

Texas drove the Penguin Logistics jeep, adjusted the seat, and looked at the rearview mirror. Baiyue and Lapland were already in place in the back seat. Baiyue looked at Texas through the rearview mirror and nodded.

Texas started the engine and the vehicle roared out, pulling out of the parking space.

After the car drove out of the underground garage, Baiyou crossed his legs and began to look through the information on the terminal, looking for the information he needed.

Lappland on the side curiously leaned over, rubbing Baiyou's shoulder while looking at the terminal in Baiyou's hand.

On the terminal was intelligence from Lateran. This information should not have been known to outsiders like Baiyou, but... Baiyou's intelligence network had already reached corners that most forces had never thought of.

Finding a Sakotan infected with oripathy might be difficult, but finding a Lateran who would want to cure the infected person would be extremely easy.

Anyone with good intentions will become Baiyue's companion, not because he represents kindness, but because he will respond to kindness.

"Fiammetta... this name seems familiar." Lappland asked curiously.

Texas, who was driving, twitched his ears curiously and said, "I remember he was the guardian of one of Aneng's friends."

"Chief, you are actually related to her? I remember she was someone in the Lateran system."

"I know him, but more than just knowing him." Bai You said as he checked the intelligence. He also said, "I had contacted Fiameta long before we left Longmen. We have been communicating frequently since then. After all, I still need information from Lateran for future matters."

"Hmm... I found something useful."

A dignified face appeared on the terminal, with black hair and black pupils. His face looked very well-behaved, but there seemed to be a demonic charm in those dark eyes.

It's not that she's seductive, but rather that there's a kind of emptiness that transcends gender, which is chilling and makes it hard to see through her heart.

Laplande narrowed his eyes, looked at the information on the terminal, and whispered: "Wanted criminal... Arturo Giallo."

"He has quite a criminal record. He uses the Originium technique of music to cause panic, and even hypnotize people... Hmm, an interesting guy."

Lappland's hand gently stroked the hilt of the knife beside him, with a crazy smile on the corner of his mouth, and he seemed eager to try.

Bai You explained: "That is not hypnosis, but a skill that simply amplifies the other person's inner emotions. In other words, the actions of the person affected by her must be what the person desires to do most in his or her heart."

"People who are timid but harbor resentment will become bold and reckless, people who have resentment in their hearts will turn into murderous monsters, and people who have guilt deep in their memories will... embark on a path of self-destruction."

"She is an amplifier of emotions, wandering around the world unconsciously... treating everything with an attitude that does not distinguish between good and evil."

"…Everyone has sin in their hearts, and they have things that they cannot bear to expose. People's hearts are complicated, so she is guilty."

Lappland raised his head and looked at Baiyue, smiling and said, "What about me? What does the master think of me?"

"Before I met the Master, I lived like a killer, cutting my enemies into pieces... Am I guilty of this, too, Master?"

"Of course they are guilty." Baiyou raised her hand and stroked Lappland's white fur, saying, "But animals are innocent. To me..."

"People who are bent over by the suffering of this land are no different from animals. How can I hold those who are struggling to survive accountable for their sins?"

"I'm not that arrogant. I'm a player, but I'm not a god who represents justice in the world. I... just do what I want."

Hearing this, Lappland couldn't help but wag his tail, his face full of joy.

She liked Baiyou's words. In fact, Baiyou could have said something like "You are a bad wolf, but I put a collar on you" to divert Lappland's sense of guilt.

But Baiyou also understood that freedom was a precious thing for Lappland, and he wanted Lappland to retain his dignity and freedom based on what already belonged to him.

Instead of treating it as one's own property, Baiyou confidently gives the right to choose to Lapland and believes that Lapland will always trust oneself. Having such leeway is Baiyou's style.

"So, what is the master going to do with this Arturo? Looking at this information, do you have any plans for her?" Lapland continued.

"She shouldn't be here at this time, but now that she is here, we have to deal with her." Bai You's face was solemn: "Her ability is very... useful, but also very strange."

"So I want to contact her and try to win her over, or find an enemy for us in advance."

At this time, Texas was a little worried and said in a clear voice: "Chief, this guy is an officially certified wanted criminal in Rutland. He might cause us trouble."

"It's okay to be in trouble." Baiyue looked at the face on the screen, his eyes full of gloom, "Who Rutland says is guilty has nothing to do with me, and I don't care."

"The only trouble with her for me is the power of... music."

The Originium technique of using music to stir up the hidden emotions in others' hearts... What will happen when facing Baiyou, who has experienced countless worlds and has become so complex that it cannot be described as a simple "human".

………………

On a certain street in Xiosta, even though it was late at night, melodious jazz music still echoed throughout the street. This street was full of bars with a relatively soothing and peaceful atmosphere, but because the bars were close to each other, even if they were playing soothing music, it still seemed a bit noisy when mixed together.

Arturo paused.

She turned her head slightly and cast her gaze towards an area not far away that was surrounded by a cordon. Even though it was surrounded, it still became the focus of tourists. At this moment, some people were taking photos outside the cordon.

Behind the cordon is a huge pit, which is the footprint left by the lava giant.

Arturo looked in the direction of the footprints. In front of him, the footprints crossed several streets and extended to the volcano in the distance. It seemed to form a road that connected all the bar streets and music streets. As long as he followed the footprints of the lava giant, he could pass through all the colorful neighborhoods of Xiosta.

It’s such a great place… lots of music and smiles on people’s faces.

But, are they really happy? Are they really... as carefree as they seem? Lava giants and volcanoes, the music city of Xiosta...

She clutched the strap of the guitar case and smiled in spite of herself.

Chapter 564: The Person You Should Not Meet

Texas drove and the three of them arrived at the ferry port.

As soon as Baiyou got out of the car, she saw Hei who was talking to the police officers, and raised her hand to greet him.

After noticing Baiyue, Hei gave some orders to the police officers around her, then walked towards Baiyue. After discovering that there were two other people beside Baiyue, she seemed expressionless, just narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Baiyou, I'm really sorry to bother you by asking you to come here so late." Hei said softly.

"It's not a big deal. Why should we be so fussy about this?" Bai You waved her hand and said with a smile, "Let's talk business. Where is the person who was affected by the Originium technique?"

Hei nodded and explained, "We have already controlled him ten minutes ago. This person's mental state is extremely unstable. He shows extreme hatred towards the Sarkaz and people infected with the Ore Disease, as well as a fanatical obsession with music."

"We initially determined that it was caused by some Originium technique that can affect a person's psychological state, but we don't know what the medium of this technique is."

"Of course, we can't find the time when the Originium technique is activated."

Hei led Baiyou through the blockade and into a medical room vacated at the port. The unconscious old man Filin was lying on a bed made of tables in the middle of the room. Apart from the blood on his body, there was no trace of madness.

"We injected her with a sedative. Fortunately, she stabilized quickly, otherwise we would have had no choice but to kill her," Hei explained.

Baiyou approached the old man Film and took a closer look. He had no talent for Originium skills. At most, he could transform the purest Originium into the source of magic power for projection magic. Therefore, he could not see any clues.

But he could speculate.

"Do you have this person's identity information? What about the surveillance in the cabin?"

"There is no surveillance footage. There are no cameras inside this old-fashioned ferry. As for this person's identity... you can see for yourself." Hei took a piece of intelligence from his subordinates and placed it in front of Baiyou.

Bai You picked it up and looked at it. His originally frowned brows slowly relaxed, as if he was relieved.

"She comes from an old music family in Victoria, she's a performer whose family has fallen on hard times... and she's a supporter of the Anti-Infected Persons Treatment Improvement Act. These identities combined are enough to explain the problem." Bai You let out a long sigh: "She was indeed influenced by the person we are looking for."

"Who are you looking for?" Hei repeated, questioningly.

Baiyue replied: "A wanted criminal from Lateran may have come to Xiosta. This person's Originium skills are very dangerous. He can evoke all emotions in people through music."

"And it can be amplified...both good and bad emotions can be affected. Happy people will become happier, and kind people will become kinder."

"But correspondingly...villains, those with evil thoughts, even cowards who only think about it but never carry it out, will be affected."

Hei's brows suddenly furrowed. Having seen so many dark and dirty things, she certainly understood what this meant.

People are fickle, no one can be kind forever, and kind people will not cause harm, but as long as there are evil people who continue under the influence of this music...

Then, it will be irreversible, just like the first domino has been pushed down. As long as this person cannot be found, there will be endless sources of danger.

"This Filin person has gone crazy, but she is alone. This means that the guy just doesn't like her, or there is some hidden reason." Baiyou analyzed softly: "If she really came just to play and have fun, then she could have played as much as she wanted on the ferry."

"In that case, the ship we saw might look like it was carrying countless corpses."

"She held back. Was it because she was forbearing and had some ambition, or was she simply dissatisfied with this guy...?"

Speculating Arturo's actions seemed to be a very interesting thing for Bai You. He smiled and said softly, "It makes me curious about what else she will do."

"Hei, help me keep an eye on this person. If she wakes up, notify me as soon as possible. Oh, and report to me all the music stores and places where cello performances are accepted in the city. This is a very important clue."

Hei nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, leave it to me."

"Well, let's do this for now. Let's go to Lapland, Texas, and look for places like bars where cellos are played. Maybe we can find some clues."

………………

Arturo strolled the streets curiously.

Not far from the street, loud music was coming from the background. At the end of the street, in the open space, a huge stage was surrounded by tourists.

The violent rock music was clear even from half a street away.

Arturo walked forward slowly out of curiosity, but when he got near the stage, he couldn't squeeze in. He had to settle for the next best thing and move slightly to the side.

The shops along the street were also full because of the lively performance on this stage, and Arturo had to wait for a long time before he could get a vacant seat.

She sat down slowly and found that sitting opposite her was a woman wearing black clothes that covered most of her body. She was also wearing a mask, and only a pair of pointed horns and white hair on her head revealed her identity.

The dragons of Yan Nation? Or the Sarkaz? Or...

Arturo was still curious about the identity of the person in front of him, but the person in front of him took the initiative to talk to him.

"Is there something weird on my face?"

Arturo smiled and replied calmly, "No, I'm just curious why you are wearing such heavy clothes in such a hot season."

"It's just a cool breeze at night." Tallulah answered and turned her head to look in the direction of the stage, seemingly ignoring Arturo's words.

Arturo also looked towards the stage, where a band composed of several girls was playing fashionable rock music.

Although Arturo's instrument is the cello, it does not prevent her from appreciating other types of music. She seems to hear something extremely special from the music played by those people.

"How interesting... I thought rock music was always the same, revealing the violence and passion of the Sarkaz people."

"I never thought that there would be people who would hide confusion...sorrow in music like that."

"It's like people who have left their homes are playing the music, saying in the song that they are afraid of their hometown and will never go back... Those people don't look like Sarkaz."

"They are the Agors from Iberia." Talullah responded, her cold eyes filled with scrutiny, and she turned to look at Arturo.

She suddenly realized that the guy in front of her didn't seem to be an ordinary Sakota.

The devil in her was revealed without any disguise, which made Tallulah feel resistant and... unable to ignore it.

Chapter 565: The Desire to Play

"The Algorans are interesting." Arturo looked at the people on the stage and said softly, "There is sadness hidden in their songs, as if the wanderers who have left home are determined to cut off all ties with their hometown... What a good song."

Tallulah looked at Arturo's profile and did not choose to act rashly. She just reminded him softly, "It seems that not many people in the Sakota like rock music. I heard that you prefer hymns."

Arturo did not refute and replied with a smile: "Regarding this point, electronic music has actually become popular in Lateran recently. That kind of wonderful sound is very popular among young people."

“Although I play traditional instruments, I understand and appreciate people’s love for new things.”

Tallulah did not reply, but frowned. She had a strong intuition. Although Arturo in front of her acted approachable, Tallulah always felt that something was wrong.

Arturo listened for a while, with a smile on his face, and slowly stood up, picked up his guitar case again, as if ready to leave.

Tallulah stopped her and said, "Excuse me, why would someone like you come to Xiosta?"

The meaning of this sentence was very clear, and it even had a questioning tone, because Tallulah understood that the Sakota people in front of her had impure motives.

Arturo paused, smiled, turned around, held the cello strap tightly in his hand, and whispered back, "I came with my instrument, why else?"

“Playing for my audience, of course.”
