Tokyo Knights: The Odd Jobs X Files

Chapter 607 This Plan by Big Meow

Rui Kisugi discovers that what Isis said might be true; the latter does indeed possess the ability to foresee the future.

Previously, Isis told Kisugi Rui that Kisugi Rui would have a hot night, and now Kisugi Rui truly felt the heat. Not only hot, but also hard, and not only hard, but her bones felt like they were about to fall apart. Li Xin, who was already physically strong, had recently transformed into his "Golden Man Form" and was in an excellent peak physical condition. Kisugi Rui directly endured the most intense impact since being with Li Xin.

Laisheng Lei, lying on Li Xin's chest, gently bit Li Xin's shoulder and said in a seductive voice that could melt one's bones, "Ah Xin, are you tired of me?"

Having just enjoyed himself, Li Xin had no idea what he had done to elicit such a crucial question from Lai Shenglei. He quickly pledged his loyalty, saying, "How could that be! How could I possibly find you tiresome, Xiao Lei!"

Having said that, he was about to prove it to the future with tears in his eyes—yes, to prove it through his actions.

After another round of struggle, Lai Sheng Lei collapsed onto Li Xin's chest, utterly exhausted, and patted his chest, saying, "Are you trying to kill me?!"

Her stamina bar is empty; if we keep going, her health bar will be depleted!

Back when she was in the coffee shop, Kisugi Rui would always hear the ladies living nearby having tea parties, talking about things like "sexual dissatisfaction." Kisugi Rui really found it strange. In these kinds of things, aren't women the weaker party? There are only fields that have been over-plowned, not oxen that have actually died from exhaustion!

It's the same now. Her field is about to be ruined by plowing, but the ox is still acting all high and mighty. It's infuriating!

Li Xin had become quite shameless by now, especially when he was spending private time with Lai Sheng Lei. He shamelessly said, "Who can blame me when you're so charming, Xiao Lei!"

Lai Sheng Lei looked at Li Xin with a malicious smile and said, "Who is more charming, me or Tia?"

Li Xin felt a pang of guilt and could only manage a dry laugh, saying, "It's all because of you, you're just as charming!"

"Nonsense, you're much more excited today than usual!"

Lai Sheng Lei rolled her eyes and said that her physical sensations spoke volumes!

"I……"

Li Xin was speechless. This... he couldn't control it either. That was a "Persian cat"... Although the usual "black cat" was also charming, the familiar "black cat" suddenly turning into a "Persian cat" would naturally excite Li Xin even more...

After giving Li Xin a good squeeze, Lai Sheng Lei wrinkled her nose and continued to lean against Li Xin's chest, feeling his firm muscles.

Just as Li Xin said, "Black Cat" and "Persian Cat" both refer to her. Her recent tantrum with Li Xin was just a playful little game between lovers.

After enjoying the sweet atmosphere, Lai Sheng Rui suddenly remembered something and said to Li Xin, "By the way, Xin, Miss Isis is returning to Egypt tomorrow."

"Oh."

Li Xin's reaction was indifferent. He wasn't familiar with Isis, so he figured she could just go back.

She said she hoped to meet with you before leaving so that she could express her gratitude to you in person.

"Lai Sheng Lei explained."

In order to treat Malik, Isis had to disregard the ongoing Egyptian artifacts exhibition. After arranging the follow-up procedures of the exhibition, she prepared to return home early. However, before returning home, she still wanted to formally thank Li Xin. But since she did not know Li Xin's contact information, she could only contact Lai Sheng Lei first and ask Lai Sheng Lei to convey the message to Li Xin.

"Okay, I know."

Li Xin nodded, then looked at the beautiful and delicate Lai Sheng Lei and said, "Um, Xiao Lei, it's still early, shall we continue?"

"You're trying to kill me..."

Lai Sheng Lei said coquettishly, but this coquettishness quickly turned into a groan. Hmm, Isis's prophecy was still in effect.

....................................

The next day, Li Xin and Lai Shenglei arrived at the hotel where Isis was staying. Isis saw that Lai Shenglei looked haggard and couldn't help but ask, "Miss Tia, what happened to you?"

"Uh……"

Lai Sheng Lei rolled her eyes at Li Xin, then smiled sweetly and said, "It's nothing, I just didn't sleep well last night. Thank you for your concern, Miss Isis."

Isis gave an awkward smile, then said, "It's alright, it's alright..."

In fact, Isis regretted asking the question as soon as she did. Yesterday, she used the "Millennium Jewelry" to foresee Laisheng Rui's short-term future and knew what Laisheng Rui had experienced last night. She had just forgotten about it and only remembered it after asking the question.

Fortunately, both women were mature, and after a brief moment of awkwardness, they both regained their composure.

Isis first expressed her gratitude to Li Xin with very solemn etiquette, and then said to Li Xin: "I specially invited Mr. A Xin here through Miss Tia this time, not only to thank Mr. A Xin, but also to entrust a few things to Mr. A Xin for safekeeping."

As she spoke, Isis handed three stone tablets to Li Xin. These were the "God Tablets" that housed the "Three Egyptian Gods": "Obelisk the Tormentor," "Osiris the Sky Dragon," and "Ra the Winged Dragon of Ra."

"Miss Isis, what's wrong with you...?"

Li Xin looked at Isis with suspicion. Isis told Li Xin, "Yesterday I talked to Lishid about some things. He told me that besides Malik, there are other people who are also coveting the power of the 'Slate of God,' and Malik has been attacked because of this..."

Compared to the "Millennium Artifact", it is clear that the power of the "Slate of God" is far more terrifying.

The power of the "Millennium Artifact" lies in its various supernatural abilities. These abilities are effective against ordinary people, but their effectiveness is greatly reduced against extraordinary individuals, and even more so against exceptionally strong individuals.

Previously, Malik attempted to control Li Xin with the "Millennium Staff," but the "Millennium Staff's" power clashed with Li Xin's unbreakable will and immediately withered.

Moreover, the "Millennium Artifacts" are particularly selective in who they are used. Those who are not chosen cannot use them at all, and they may even burn the soul of those who use them without authorization.

The Egyptian God Cards are different. The Egyptian God Cards themselves are incredibly powerful. Don't be fooled by how easily Li Xin defeated them. That's because their summoners couldn't fully unleash their abilities. Both the Titan of Obelisk and the Sky Dragon of Osiris possess power close to the peak of the transcendent realm, while Ra the Winged Dragon of Ra stands firmly above the peak of the transcendent realm. Ra's abilities are also extremely troublesome, making them truly terrifying opponents.

Although the power of the "Three Egyptian Gods" can only be controlled by those who possess the "Millennium Items," the world is vast, and who can say that things in magic are always like that? There might be ways to bypass the "Millennium Items" and utilize the power of the "Three Egyptian Gods."

Yesterday, the powers of the "Sky Dragon" and the "Winged Dragon of Ra" appeared one after another. Although everything is calm now, it is very likely that someone has already set their sights on the "Slate of God".

In fact, the "Slate of God" had already been targeted before yesterday.

According to Lishid, while in Egypt, he and Malik were attacked by a group of people who appeared to be mercenaries, and their goal was clear: the "Stone Tablet of God" in Malik's possession.

Malik annihilated them with the power of the "Sky Dragon." Afterwards, it was discovered that the mercenaries were hired by a wealthy man in America to search for the "Stone Tablets of God." What's more, the wealthy man knew about the existence of the "Millennium Items" and offered a reward to the mercenaries if they could bring them back.

Malik and Lishid followed the clues and investigated the wealthy man, discovering that he was also the owner of the "Millennium Artifact," and what he possessed was the "Millennium Eye," which could see through people's hearts.

The wealthy man from America possessed astonishing social influence. Although Malik had the Millennium Staff and two Tablets of God, he dared not act rashly. He could only choose to collect other Millennium Items first, and then plot against the wealthy man's Millennium Eye.

After explaining to Li Xin, Isis said to him, "...Mr. Li Xin, with my current strength, I'm afraid I can't protect these three 'Divine Tablets,' but I absolutely cannot let this power belonging to the Pharaoh fall into the hands of others, so I can only trouble you to keep it safe for me."

After a pause, Isis bowed to Li Xin and said, "I know that my request is very impolite, and even suspected of taking advantage of you, Mr. Li Xin, but I really have no one else to rely on. Please!"

Although Isis held an official Egyptian identity, this identity might be useful to others, but for the wealthy American woman with the "Millennium Eye," it only made her slightly wary.

Previously, the tablets of "Sky Dragon" and "Winged Dragon of Ra" were in Malik's hands, so the wealthy man naturally kept an eye on Malik and temporarily let Isis go. Now that Isis has all the "Tablets of God", the wealthy man from America will no longer have any concerns about Isis's identity and may very well take action directly.

Li Xin defeated the Sky Dragon and the Winged Dragon of Ra head-on, and even broke the stone tablet of the Titan. With his strength, he had no need to covet the Three Egyptian Gods, and he was also capable enough to protect the "Stone Tablet of God". He was the most suitable person Isis could think of to keep the "Stone Tablet of God".

Do I look like a safe?

Li Xin complained inwardly. The "Tiger Soul" was entrusted to him by Hayabusa for safekeeping. Now, with the addition of three more "Divine Stone Tablets," he felt like he was about to become a safe.

Li Xin also understood that in addition to his ability, his character was also an important factor in earning the trust of so many people.

It is precisely because Li Xin is a trustworthy person that so many people entrust him with extremely important matters.

With a slight sigh, Li Xin nodded to Isis: "Alright, I understand. I will keep these three stone tablets safe for you and prevent anyone else from taking them."

A safe is fine, I'm used to it anyway.

Moreover, with Li Xin's strength, he is capable of blocking 99% of the troubles. Even if someone covets the power of the "Slab of God," they will completely give up once they know that the "Slab of God" is in Li Xin's hands. Therefore, keeping the "Slab of God" is not a big deal for Li Xin.

Isis smiled and said to Li Xin, "Thank you, Mr. Li Xin. Regarding the fees, I will do my best to offer you a price that satisfies you."

Knowing Li Xin's profession, she naturally wouldn't let him keep the "Stone Tablet of God" for nothing.

However, the Egyptian government was also poor. Even though Isis held a high position in the Egyptian government and was trusted by high-ranking Egyptian officials, the funds she could access were quite limited.

At this moment, Lai Sheng Lei said, "Miss Isis, there's no need for you to spend money. I'll cover the cost of safeguarding the 'Slate of God'."

Isis quickly said, "Miss Tia, please don't do this. You've already helped Egypt a lot. You returned a large number of artifacts to Egypt before, and yesterday you returned another batch, including the 'Millennium Wisdom Wheel.' You've already spent a lot, how can I ask you to spend more..."

"It's ok."

Lai Sheng Lei smiled and shook her head: "'The Stone Tablet of God' is a very important thing, isn't it? If it falls into the hands of bad people, it will cause a great crisis. Since we have encountered such a thing, I would feel bad if I did not do my part."

Seeing the determination in Laisheng Rui's eyes, Isis remained silent for a moment, then said to Laisheng Rui, "Alright, since that's the case, then I have no choice but to do so..."

Isis leaned close to Laisheng Rui and whispered in her ear for a while.

Lai Sheng Rui paused for a moment, then asked, "Miss Isis, what's wrong...?"

Isis said calmly, "Didn't I say before? I have the ability to foresee the future. I just used this ability to obtain some information about the future. I think this information should be enough to compensate Miss Tia for her losses."

As she spoke, Isis sighed.

Overusing the power of the 'Millennium Item' can plunge the mind into darkness, especially when used for one's own desires. Therefore, despite possessing the heaven-defying ability of "foreseeing the future," Isis has never used it to benefit herself. But this time, she owes Rui Kisugi too much and can only use this ability for Rui Kisugi as a way of repaying her.

After processing the information provided by Isis, Lai Sheng Rui nodded to Isis and said, "Thank you, Miss Isis."

If what Isis just said really comes true, then Rei Kisaragi can indeed make a fortune from this news.

After entrusting the "Stone Tablets of God" to Li Xin for safekeeping, Isis had to catch her flight. Li Xin parted ways with Lai Sheng Lei and returned to the agency, where he gave the three "Stone Tablets of God" the same treatment as the "Tiger Soul" and the Eight Buddha Weapons—they were thrown under the bed.

Get it!

After hiding the "Stone Tablet of God" in "the safest place in the world," Li Xin left.

After Li Xin left, the "Tiger Soul" sword spirit secretly crawled out from the sword and looked at the three stone slabs with a thoughtful expression on its face.

It had been unable to defeat those eight bald men. Besides Li Xin's favoritism in helping the eight Buddhist weapons restore their spiritual power but not "Tiger Soul," there was another reason: it was outnumbered. Four claws could not defeat sixteen hands. Now that it had three more "Divine Stone Tablets," if it could subdue the "Three Illusionary Gods" among them, it would be four against eight. Although it was still at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, it might be able to turn the tide.

Hmm, this is a great plan, Meow!

Thinking this, the "Tiger Soul" sword spirit grinned and slowly walked towards the three "Divine Stone Tablets," roaring out the "Three Illusionary Gods" residing within them.

Three-colored lights flashed, and three figures emerged from the three "Slabs of God": the "Colossus" with its lower body split open, the "Sky Dragon" riddled with holes, and the "Winged Dragon of Ra" with all its feathers gone.

The "Three Illusionary Gods" looked at the "Tiger Soul" sword spirit with pitiful eyes, as if asking it what it wanted to do with them.

Tiger Soul Blade Spirit: "..."

What kind of old, weak, sick, and disabled people are these?!

Chapter 608 Long'er

In a traditional Chinese courtyard in Hebei Province, a young girl wakes up in bed.

She looked only twelve or thirteen years old, with very delicate features. Although she was still a budding flower, she already had the appearance of a beauty. Moreover, despite having the facial features of a person from the Central Plains, she had a strange head of long green hair.

The wooden door creaked open, and Liang Si Niang, dressed in plain white, having abandoned her flamboyant attire in public, stepped across the threshold like a lotus emerging from water. She carried a steaming bowl of medicine into the room and said to the girl who had just gotten up, "Long'er, you're awake? Perfect timing. Drink this medicine. After you finish this bowl, you can try to condense your 'poisonous heart'."

"Master Liang..."

Upon seeing Liang Si Niang, the young girl's face revealed a look of affection and admiration.

Although Liang Si Niang was only seven or eight years older than the girl, old enough to be her older sister, the girl, who had lost her mother at a young age, had come to regard Liang Si Niang as a mother figure after spending the past two years together.

He drank the medicine that Liang Si Niang brought him, and then followed the mental cultivation method taught by Liang Si Niang to circulate his internal energy. With the help of the medicine that had accumulated over many days, the deadly poison that had accumulated in his body began to dissipate outwards. First, it stained the bed with a dark green color, and then the bed slowly rotted away, even emitting a burnt smell, which forced Liang Si Niang to take a few steps back.

At the same time, Liang Si Niang sighed inwardly. How could such a potent poison have been lurking in the young girl's body all these years?

The leaked poison was merely the most superficial change in the girl; the internal changes were even more astonishing.

As a large amount of deadly poison leaked out, countless toxins accumulated in the girl's body began to be purified and concentrated, eventually turning into the purest toxin, which rushed into the girl's heart and resided there, turning her heart into a "poisonous heart." The first level of the "Ten Thousand Poisons Heart Sutra," the most powerful poison technique in the world, was actually passed by the girl with great ease!

Once the "Poison Heart" is formed, the "Ten Thousand Poisons Heart Sutra" is officially mastered. The remaining deadly poison in the girl's body begins to condense towards the "Poison Heart," which transforms into a poison sac, taking in all the deadly poisons. This allows the girl to control all the toxins in her body at will, and she no longer needs to worry about harming others with the toxins in her body when she comes into contact with them.

Feeling the changes in her body, the girl couldn't help but cry tears of joy.

After she mastered the art of poison, the poison in her body became so potent that even extraordinary experts would avoid it, and even her master, father, and brothers were afraid of her.

Although she had anticipated this outcome before she began practicing poison techniques, she still resolutely began to practice them in order to become someone useful to her father one day.

Neither she nor her master, who taught her poison skills, expected that her talent in poison skills would be so high as to be unimaginable. She quickly developed a "highly poisonous body" that could even injure her master, who was a master of poison.

After becoming a "poisonous body," the girl's breath became deadly poison, not to mention her bodily fluids. A single tear could kill an entire village. Naturally, anything she touched was never touched again; she became a poisonous creature that no living being could approach.

She cultivated poison skills to be useful to her father, but because the poison skills were too powerful, even her father could not get close to her. This is quite ironic.

The girl originally thought that as long as it was useful to her father, it would be fine, even if she became a monster and could no longer get close to the people she loved. However, what happened next was something she never expected.

Her father, the king of the clan, suddenly went mad and slaughtered the entire village. Only she, with her keen mind, noticed her father's abnormality in advance and hid with her younger siblings. In the huge village, apart from her and her younger siblings, only a few clansmen who had gone out survived.

From then on, the girl's father became the biggest traitor in the clan, and the survivors of the clan all took killing the girl's father as their greatest mission, including the girl's third brother who was closest to her.

The girl and her third brother were not born of the same mother. She was the daughter of her father's concubine, and therefore was always ostracized by the first wife and the other children of the first wife. Only her third brother and father treated her kindly. As a result, her father wiped out his clan, and her third brother went to seek revenge on her father. The two most important people to the girl were going to fight to the death. The girl could not accept this, so she left the village to find the two and wanted to stop them from killing each other. However, she was poisoned and fainted on the way to find them. She was found and taken in by Liang Si Niang, and then stayed there for two years.

In the past two years, although the girl has not established a formal master-disciple relationship with Liang Siniang, Liang Siniang has taught the girl martial arts and found the "Ten Thousand Poisons Heart Sutra", which is known as the "most poisonous in the world", for the girl to practice. Therefore, the girl calls Liang Siniang "Master Liang" to distinguish her from the master who taught her poison skills before.

After the girl felt she could control the poison in her body, the first thing she wanted to do was hug Liang Si Niang.

In the past two years, although the girl had been with Liang Siniang day and night, she had never touched Liang Siniang's body. Now she could finally embrace Liang Siniang, the third most important person in her life.

But as soon as the girl pounced on her, she was not greeted by Liang Si Niang's gentle embrace, but by a "soul-snatching, deadly pinch".

Liang Si Niang pinched the girl's dark, grimy face and said, "Don't you even look how dirty you are! How dare you pounce on me like this?"

After the girl expelled the deadly toxins from her body, her body was covered in a layer of black mud, and the stench was so strong that anyone would cover their nose and stay far away, except for the girl herself.

"Mother misses..."
