Tokyo Knights: The Odd Jobs X Files

Angel was disappointed: "What? I was planning to have the older man play games with me!"

"I'm busy right now, let's talk about it after I finish taking care of my business."

Li Xin patted Angel's head and said.

"What are you busy with, uncle?"

Angel asked.

"Find someone."

Li Xin said casually.

"Finding people is no problem! There's strength in numbers. I'll help find them too!"

Angel said positively.

"Come on, you just don't want to go to school!"

Li Xin immediately saw through Angel's little scheme.

Angel stuck out her tongue, but still asked, "Uncle, who are you looking for? I'll keep an eye out for you."

"It's that blonde girl you met when you went to Athens last time. She's in Tokyo now, and I need to talk to her."

Li Xin replied.

"Uncle, you should have said so earlier!"

Angel took out her cell phone, dialed a number, and said, "Hello, is this Levinia? In Tokyo? Come over and play games!"

After a few words, Angel hung up the phone and said to Li Xin, "Done."

Li Xin: "..."

Damn it, what were they doing putting in so much effort for something so simple?!

Chapter 728 "World-Destroying Artifact"

"Tell me, what game do you want to play? Watch me crush you!"

The leader of Britain's strongest magic guild, the "Golden Dawn," is a twelve-year-old extraordinary mage named Levinia Baldwin. After receiving a call from Angel, she rushes to the scene, determined to beat Angel (in the game) until she begs for mercy.

As soon as Levinia arrived at the agency, she saw Li Xin and took three steps back, covering her buttocks as she exclaimed, "What are you doing here too!"

"That's obvious, I live with that uncle!"

Angel said.

"Damn it, I knew I shouldn't have come..."

Levinia seemed very regretful.

At this point, even if Levinia wanted to escape, it would be impossible, because Li Xin had already locked onto her.

"Revinia, actually I had Angel call you here."

Li Xin said to Levinia.

Levinia glared at Angel, "You actually betrayed me!"

Then, glancing again at Angel's developing breasts, his hatred deepened. You actually betrayed our alliance!

Angel stuck out her tongue and said to Levinia, "I'm going to play games now. Remember to come find me after you've finished talking with Uncle!"

Then they disappeared in a flash.

Levinia looked at Li Xin with a disgruntled expression and said, "Speak, what do you want? By the way, you still owe me something, right? You're really shameless!"

Li Xin nodded. Back in Athens, Levinia had helped him find someone to divine Michael Heinz's whereabouts, for which Li Xin owed Levinia a favor and promised to do her a favor. Now that he hadn't repaid that favor, Li Xin was asking Levinia for help again. Levinia said that there was a reason why Li Xin was shameless.

"Do you have a telescope that can swap bodies? Can I borrow it?"

Li Xin said to Levinia.

"Body swap?"

Levinia paused for a moment, then reached out, and a telescope appeared out of thin air in her hand: "You mean this?"

"That's right, it's this one, it really is in your hands!"

Li Xin exclaimed in delight.

Levinia was exceptionally intelligent to become a superhuman at such a young age, and she quickly guessed why Li Xin wanted the telescope: "Oh, I left this telescope in the coffee shop before. Did someone you know accidentally use it?"

There's no point in hiding it, Li Xin nodded and said, "That's right. Please lend me this telescope so that my two friends can switch bodies back. I can owe you another favor in return."

Although Levinia could be considered the instigator of this incident—if she hadn't lost her telescope, none of this would have happened.

But to be honest, it was because Mai Shiranui was being nosy and touching other people's things that Li Xin felt that Levinia had no obligation to help. In order to get Levinia to help, he was willing to pay a price.

Levinia thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "It's nothing, no need. Just let me check their bodies. I just got this thing and haven't tested its effects yet."

Don't underestimate Levinia just because she's a little kid. As the leader of the strongest magic society in Britain, she's very sensible. It's good to get a favor from Li Xin for free, but if she seems greedy and offends Li Xin, that would be bad.

Yes, that's it. It's not because she's afraid Li Xin will spank her.

"Okay, then."

Li Xin nodded. He also wanted to take Lai Sheng Rui and Shiranui Mai to see Kagura Chizuru for a check-up after they recovered. If the owner of the object, Leivinia, was willing to examine their bodies, that would be the best outcome.

Li Xin brought Leivinia back to the tower apartment. When Mai Shiranui and Rui Kisugi, who were waiting, saw Li Xin return so quickly, they couldn't help but ask, "Xin, did you forget something?"

"Those two? Those idiots who swapped bodies!"

An arrogant voice came from behind Li Xin. Li Xin had no choice but to move aside, revealing Levinia behind him.

"It's you!"

When "Laisheng Lei" saw Levinia, her eyes immediately turned red. It was this girl who was causing her to be unable to get married!

Mai Shiranui pulled back the excited Rui Kisei and said solemnly, "Miss Bai Dewei, we are very sorry. We used your items without permission, which caused this result. We feel extremely guilty that you have to help us restore it to its original state."

The other party is an extraordinary powerhouse. Even if Mai Shiranui has an extraordinary powerhouse boyfriend, it doesn't mean she can look down on this powerhouse—even if the other party is just a child of ten years old.

Mai Shiranui's attitude eased Levinia's tense expression, and she smiled, saying, "That sounds much better! Much better than that big-breasted, brainless girl!"

Both Mai Shiranui and Rui Kisugi's faces darkened, after all, the insults were so offensive that it was impossible to tell who was being insulted.

But now is not the time to worry about that. "Laisheng Lei" hurriedly said, "Alright, can you help us switch our bodies back?"

Levinia took out her binoculars and said to the two of them, "Use it the same way you used it before, and your bodies can be switched back."

"Rai-sei" was overjoyed and quickly took the binoculars from Levinia's hands, but after thinking for a moment, she handed them to "Shiranui Mai": "Miss Rui-sei, you should take them..."

Levinia said, "Let's do it the same way as before. The one who used the telescope before was Mai Shiranui's body, so 'Kizuki Rui' handed the telescope to 'Mai Shiranui'."

Mai Shiranui glanced at Levinia, and seeing that the other party did not object, she took the binoculars and then looked at Rui Kisugi.

As before, when Mai Shiranui looked at Rui Kisugi through the binoculars, Rui Kisugi spun and twisted in the binoculars, and at the same time, a familiar dizziness also struck Mai Shiranui's brain.

Li Xin quickly helped the unconscious Lai Sheng Rui and Shiranui Mai to rest on the sofa. The binoculars rolled to the ground and were picked up by Leivinia.

Is that all?

Li Xin asked Leivinia.

"Let me check it out."

Levinia examined Rui Kisaki and Mai Shiranui for a moment, then nodded slightly: "I see..."

"how's it going?"

Li Xinxin said anxiously.

"They have recovered. Their current coma is because they are readjusting to their five senses."

"The five senses?"

"Otherwise what? You really think they swapped bodies? No, that's just their illusion. What they swapped were their five senses!"

Levinia shook her head and said, "Even mages cannot manipulate souls at will. No, even in the magical realm, the soul is the most mysterious domain. Apart from a few mages who have extremely high attainments in the soul, ordinary mages dare not touch this domain."

"It's just a low-level spirit garment, how could it really involve interference at the soul level? So this spirit garment just uses a trick to establish a connection between the five senses of two people and then swap them, creating the illusion of a body swap."

Treasures, spirit armor, magical artifacts... these terms all refer to the same type of item, which is an object containing magical power. They are just different names used by different groups of people.

Traditional magicians prefer to call them "treasures," while magicians in the modern Western magic system prefer to call them "spirit armor." Ordinary people outside of magicians simply call them "magical tools," which is more common and easier to understand.

Levinia weighed the telescope in her hand, seemingly quite indifferent to this Noble Phantasm.

This kind of sensory swapping can only work on extraordinary people or ordinary people below the level of the supernatural. For Levinia, the entertainment effect is greater than the practical effect. Moreover, it is not difficult to break in reality. After all, the level of this spell is not high. As long as the principle is understood, even ordinary magicians can break it.

After listening to Levinia's explanation, Li Xin immediately understood the principle behind the spell.

It's just that Li Xin was prejudiced from the beginning and assumed it was a body swap, without considering the possibility of a sensory swap. If he had known it was a sensory swap from the start, Li Xin could have used the "Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique" to sever the connection between the two senses. Without the interference, the two could naturally reconnect to their own senses and recover directly.

Even though he understood it, Li Xin still had to admire the ingenuity of magic, which was able to accomplish such a thing.

"Magic is truly amazing!"

Li Xin sighed.

This is something that martial arts cannot accomplish, and as far as he knows, it is absolutely impossible to do it by any other method.

"Of course!"

Levinia stood with her hands on her hips, looking quite pleased with herself.

Having been badly beaten by Li Xin, this extraordinary martial artist, she was naturally proud when she heard him say that magic was powerful.

Li Xin looked at Levinia and asked, "By the way, what brings you to Tokyo? Your subordinates told me you're here to find something. Do you need any help?"

It's only polite to reciprocate. Levinia helped Rui and Mai Shiranui return to their original forms, which taught Li Xin a lesson. It wouldn't be right for Li Xin not to help out.

"Listen to what my men say?"

Levinia was taken aback for a moment, and then Li Xin recounted how Lai Shenglei had provided financial assistance to "Dawn of the Morning Light" in the name of the Heinz Foundation in order to contact Levinia.

"Those idiots..."

Levinia's forehead veins bulged. They actually betrayed their leader's information for a little money. She'd deal with them properly when they got back!

Li Xin observed three seconds of silence for the members of "Dawn of the Morning Light," then said, "Alright, tell me what you came to Tokyo to look for. It's not some kind of 'forbidden relic,' is it?"

With the official announcement of the "Cataclysm of Annihilation," a wave of searching for "forbidden relics" has recently swept through the public.

Although the government has been publicizing the dangers of "forbidden relics" for a long time, it still can't stop some people from taking the risk, believing that they are the chosen ones who can control "forbidden relics" and thus obtain superhuman power.

Of course, such people usually don't end up with anything other than turning into inhuman monsters.

The reason why "forbidden relics" are called "forbidden relics" is because their powerful abilities are often accompanied by powerful hidden dangers. Being controlled by "forbidden relics" is the least of one's worries; there are also quite a few people who want to control "forbidden relics" and ultimately become the dessert of "forbidden relics".

Levinia is an extraordinary mage, so she naturally has the ability to control "forbidden relics," making it quite possible that she came to Tokyo to search for them.

"'Forbidden Relics'?"

Upon hearing Li Xin's words, Levinia couldn't help but scoff: "What I'm looking for isn't that kind of stuff to fool children!"

As a transcendent mage of "Dawn of Light," the strongest magic society in the gold system, and the current head of the Baldwin family, Levinia possesses countless high-level spiritual artifacts.

Her most frequently used spirit weapon, the "Sword and Cup Staff," can wield the "Four Great Powers," with a power comparable to a "Forbidden Relic." Her true trump card, the Grand Mystic Card, is an even higher-ranking spirit weapon, approaching the level of a divine artifact.

Moreover, these are all legitimate spirit artifacts, which provide powerful strength while having few or minimal side effects. She has legitimate high-level spirit artifacts to use; only a fool would use "forbidden relics" that are full of "debuffs"!

"So what are you looking for in Tokyo?"

Li Xin asked.

Levinia pondered for a moment, then said, "'World-destroying artifact'."

She told Li Xin about the "world-destroying artifact" mainly because after searching for so many days and going to so many places, she had only obtained some dubious and false clues. She had basically determined that the "world-destroying artifact" was not in Tokyo, so it didn't matter if she told Li Xin about it.

Li Xin's expression turned serious: "Could it be related to the 'Cataclysm of World Destruction'?"

Since they are called divine artifacts, they are definitely not ordinary "forbidden relics". Only those with a near-divine status can be called divine artifacts, such as the "Three Divine Artifacts".

The addition of the words "world-destroying" before this artifact suggests that its power is no less than that of a true "world-destroying calamity," far surpassing any "world-ending disaster."

“If you intend to trigger a ‘world-ending catastrophe,’ don’t blame me for stopping you.”

Li Xin looked serious.

Levinia retorted, "Our goal, 'Dawn of Light,' is to rule the world, not destroy it. 'The Cataclysm of Annihilation' is the greatest enemy of all humanity, and I can distinguish that."

If she really wanted to destroy the world, she certainly possessed the power to do so, but what would be the point? If the world were destroyed, what would be the point of her ruling? Besides, in a world without games and desserts, she might as well be dead.
