Super God: If I punch you, you will die
Page 1023
Lin Yan looked up at the sky, which was as calm as ever, but with a hint of somberness in its colors, as if a typhoon was approaching. The others were completely unaware of what this typhoon would bring, but Lin Yan knew some of the details. Once they arrived on this small island, they were temporarily unable to leave. And the nightmare had officially begun, a nightmare like a persistent dark cloud.
Dark clouds shrouded the entire world.
This is an abandoned world.
"Ugh."
Maria continued to make strange, unintelligible noises. Generally, children of this age have very rich imaginations. So, the others didn't pay much attention, but Lin Yan vaguely sensed that this child possessed some special abilities.
"Don't worry, Maria. The weather might get worse tonight, but it will be clear with a beautiful blue sky tomorrow."
"A beautiful blue sky."
"That's right, tomorrow the sky will be a beautiful blue, there will be no more rain that won't stop, and no more clouds that won't disperse."
"The rain never stops, the clouds never disperse, oh,"
"The typhoon is indeed approaching, but it will pass quickly. Don't worry, Maria."
"woo woo woo woo……"
Maria kept making strange noises, which adults would just see as a tantrum. Lin Yan looked into the distance, a barely perceptible excitement flashing in his deep eyes. If he wanted to make the game in this world more interesting, it seemed he had to be even more serious than before.
003 Arrival at Rokkenjima
"I've heard that Rokkenjima used to be..."
"Grandma Xiongze, don't talk about this." Zhu Zhixiang interrupted Grandma Xiongze at the right time. Perhaps Grandma Xiongze just wanted to scare young Maria.
"I'm so sorry, but the elderly can't stand the wind here. Please excuse me."
No sooner had Kumazawa-basa left than Hideyoshi arrived. This cheerful and somewhat oblivious man seemed oblivious to the atmosphere, but it was precisely because of his arrival that the atmosphere changed slightly.
"Almost there, just a little while longer. We've been moving so slowly today, it's taken us way too long. I wonder whose fault it is."
Hideyoshi was Ewa's husband, who married into the family and ranked 11th in the family hierarchy. Although he seemed carefree and easygoing, he was actually quite tactful and kind. At first glance, he acted as a good buffer between Ewa and Natsuhi. A native of the Kanto region, Hideyoshi often spoke with a Kansai accent to make a good impression in business, but spoke fluent Kansai dialect in front of genuine Kansai people. His own family had all perished during World War II, and he built his own restaurant company from scratch. He was very dedicated to business but lacked business management skills. Perhaps this was due to the loss of his loved ones.
He had a deep affection for the Ushiromiya family, with whom he had married into the family. He often used laughter to liven up the atmosphere and was very generous with pocket money for the children.
He started selling cigarettes on the black market after World War II and became a heavy smoker around that time. Few people in his family smoked; the other was Lyufov.
"Uncle Hideyoshi."
Lin Yan was a little unsure how to handle Hideyoshi's personality, so he could only manage a wry smile. Zhu Zhixiang, however, laughed gleefully from the side.
"Please say a few more words to him, Uncle. It's unbearable; it's all Lin Yan's fault that so much time has been wasted."
Zhu Zhixiang said with a smile, while Maria, who was being ignored, started to act up on her own. Even with all her fuss, no one noticed or paid attention to her.
It seemed that Jō noticed Maria's change in mood. He squatted down to look Maria in the eye and then spoke to her softly.
“Maria, there’s nothing to be afraid of. We’re all together. We’re not afraid of anything when we’re together. Come on, tell me.”
"When we're together, we're not afraid of anything."
"When we're together, we're not afraid of anything."
"Ugh."
“That’s right, Brother Zhi is absolutely right. As long as you’re with us, there’s absolutely nothing to be afraid of, no matter when or where. Zhu Zhixiang, don’t you agree?”
"It can't be wrong, what Zhi-ge said is true, Maria."
"Let Brother Zhi say it again, it's all true."
“I don’t lie. So trust me, as long as you’re with everyone, you have nothing to fear.”
“Brother Rangji wouldn’t lie, I believe you. With everyone here, I’m not afraid of anything, not afraid at all.” Maria seemed to have found someone she could rely on, and she immediately threw herself into Rangji’s arms, her little hands tightly gripping his clothes, burying her head in his chest.
Maria received comfort from Jorge and seemed to have returned to normal.
"Being with everyone makes me fearless."
"Yeah, Maria isn't afraid anymore? You're so strong, amazing."
"Truth is amazing."
"What's wrong? Oh, what happened? Maria, are you seasick?"
"Haha, almost there. We're almost there."
Lin Yan looked into the distance; the dock was now almost in sight. He wanted to reach his destination quickly so he could have some peace and quiet in his room. This group of people was just too noisy. Whether it was the elderly woman like Granny Xiong Ze, the young but strangely mysterious Maria, the seemingly cheerful Zhu Zhixiang, or the mature Rang Zhi, all of them made Lin Yan feel subtly irritated.
October 4th, Saturday
Sat. 4 October 1986
Arrival at Rokkenjima
Upon arriving at the pier, a tall man in a tuxedo stood there, a grinning face on his lips. This man was none other than Toshiro Goda.
Toshiro Gouda was once a senior chef at a hotel. He resigned and came to Rokkenjima to work as a chef. His culinary skills are superb, and he is not easily fooled. He was recruited into the Ushiromiya family by Natsumi and is relatively loyal to her.
The uniform of Toshiro Goda shimmered with light.
The ship rocked suddenly, indicating that it had docked at the pier. The single-winged eagle embroidered badge also proved his status as a servant.
"Miss, welcome back. I was quite worried about you all arriving so late." Toshiro Goda greeted Zhu Zhixiang with a broad smile.
"Thank you for your concern. Actually, it's because this big oaf is scared to death that the boat is moving so slowly. It's really annoying."
"Stop rambling. You'll see when our positions are reversed."
"Thank you all for coming from afar. Madam, please let me help you." Toshiro Gota extended his hand to Eba and said with a smile.
"Thank you. It's been a long time. How have you been, Mr. Gota?"
"Thank you for your concern. Thanks to your wife, I am healthy and well here serving every day."
"Lin Yan, this is probably the first time you've met Mr. Xiang Tian, isn't it? I remember you weren't working here six years ago, right?"
"Therefore, I must formally pay my first respects to Young Master Lin Yan. It is a pleasure to meet you for the first time, Young Master Lin Yan."
"I'm somewhat confident in my height, but you're really tall. Yes, this is our first meeting. If I've ever seen a man this tall, I'll never forget him. Hello, nice to meet you, I'm Lin Yan."
"I have been waiting for you for a long time. I am your servant, Gota, and I have been serving the Ushiromiya family since the year before last. Please take good care of me and feel free to ask me anything."
"Mr. Gota, it's been a long time."
"Young Master Rangzhi, it's been a long time. Please allow me to help you."
"You're still the same, incredibly professional in handling customers. If you ever can't find a job in the future, just tell me and I'll hire you right away."
"I am terrified. Hideyoshi, please allow me to help you." Toshiro Gota greeted everyone in this manner and helped them all off the ship.
Although Toshiro Goda was quite burly, he was elegant in demeanor and could be described as a very competent servant, performing all his actions with professionalism. He was, in short, a very polite man. Once everyone had disembarked, the ship left the dock. At that moment, no one realized that they might never be able to leave this small island again.
"The game begins."
Lin Yan muttered to himself.
"What did you say?" Zhu Zhixiang, who was next to Lin Yan, probably thought Lin Yan was talking to her, so she looked at Lin Yan and asked in confusion.
"It's nothing, I just said I'm a little tired," Lin Yan said to Zhu Zhixiang, finding a convenient excuse.
004 Sea Cat
"That's true, the journey was bumpy and tiring, but it's not all Lin Yan's fault that we arrived so late." Zhu Zhixiang playfully stuck out her tongue, without much complaint, and turned to continue walking forward.
"I've felt something was off since just now, and it turns out I couldn't hear the sea cat's voice."
"Seagull? You mean a kind of seagull?" Zhu Zhixiang, who was walking forward, suddenly turned around and looked at Lin Yan curiously.
On Rokkenjima, the Ushiromiya family only occupied a small portion; the rest remained unmanaged, making it a haven for wild birds that could live freely. A sea lion inhabited a cliffside area. Its calls could be heard frequently.
Lin Yan was also somewhat curious about the sea cat.
"Nephew Lin Yan, what's wrong?"
"Aunt Louzuo, it's nothing. I just feel a little strange that I can't hear the sea cat meowing."
"Now that you mention it, I really can't hear it. It's usually so lively, but today I can't hear anything at all."
"Why aren't the sea lions here?"
"Could it be that these sea sprites are having a gathering somewhere else today? Does Maria want to see the sea sprites too?"
"Ugh, I want to see it."
"How could they have all run away so cleanly? I didn't see a single one. Did Zhu Zhixiang roast and eat them all?"
"Woo?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Maria will misunderstand."
"Big Sister Zhu Zhixiang grilled and ate the sea cat."
"No, no, how could I do such a thing?"
"That's right, that's right, Zhu Zhixiang grilled it and ate it. It has skin, minced meat, liver and meat buns."
"It has skin and flesh, liver and meat buns." Maria repeated every single word, mimicking it perfectly. However, Lin Yan still didn't really like Maria. There was always a deeply hidden, discordant atmosphere about this young child that made people uncomfortable.
“That’s not how it is, Maria. I’ve heard that wild birds are very sensitive to changes in weather and air pressure, and the weather is likely to get worse tonight, so maybe they’ve gone back to their nests early.” Joji watched them talking back and forth, probably thinking that Maria was too young to take it seriously, so he explained.
"Wasn't she roasted and eaten? Wasn't she roasted and eaten by Sister Zhu Zhixiang?"
"No, no. I would never do such a thing. Lin Yan, stop joking around and just admit you're lying."
"Lin Yan, Maria is a good girl. She takes even the smallest jokes seriously. You'd better choose your jokes carefully," said Ryoji in a very calm tone.
"Sorry, sorry, Maria, I was just joking. Umineko will definitely be hiding in its nest today."
"Is what Brother Zhi said the truth?"
“That’s right, that’s right, what Brother Zhi said is true. It must be because of the bad weather that they stopped working early, they didn’t really disappear. Aunt Louzuo, don’t you think so?”
"When the weather gets better tomorrow, they will definitely meow for us again."
"I'll wait for them to come back when the weather gets better. Tomorrow, when the weather gets better." Maria's mood finally improved; she occasionally showed her true childlike side, a rare smile appearing on her face. However, it was still Joji who was adept at interacting with young children, befitting his status as the eldest grandson. He had always been very skilled with children. In Battler's memories, Joji was always like this. With Joji taking care of Maria, it saved a lot of trouble. Lin Yan didn't dislike this man, but what happened next was another matter.
"Since Zhizhen is good at taking care of children, I think she could be a nanny, right?"
"It really feels like it's his calling to do this. I even think that doing this job is more in line with the image of my brother than doing business in the general manager's office."
“Being a nanny is a remarkable job; it’s not something you can do just by liking children.”
"Rang Zhi is so humble. But Lin Yan, did you know? You're also very good at coaxing children. Like just now, even though it was only for a moment, Maria seemed so happy. I hope you can play with her more often in the future, but remember that not all jokes are appropriate."
Lou Zuo smiled at Lin Yan.
Although she currently appears to be a dutiful mother with a gentle nature, this woman has a dual personality; she possesses a gentle side, but also a very volatile one. While Roza, due to the age difference, hasn't been involved in the conflict, her situation is far from optimistic. She's facing a financial crisis due to her sole proprietorship and views all of Ushiromiya's other family members as enemies.
Of course, except for his young daughter, Maria.
"Hey, you guys, what are you doing? Time to go." Ushiromiya Ryufu said, waving to them.
This is the father of Ushiromiya Sento and Ushiromiya Enju. Although he is a husband and father, he is usually a very philanderer.
Ushiromiya Ryūfū was a man who loved to flaunt his wealth. He made his fortune through borderline illegal businesses, and when he talked about it, he inevitably became the target of backstabbing.
Lyuf and Kurau are of different ages and have a bad relationship. Lyuf always believed that his elder brother Kurau wanted to take all of Kinzo's inheritance, so he formed an alliance with Eba, who also disliked Kurau.
However, Kirie was unaware of this.
"Okay, okay, we'll head over now."
"Then please allow me to lead you to the guesthouse. This way, please." Xiangtian led the way, and Xiongze followed.
The path wound its way up, creating a secluded and picturesque scene. Following this path upwards, the surrounding scenery was quite pleasant. After walking for a while, I saw a courtyard-style staircase, and further on, a beautifully constructed Western-style house.
The villa retains its original architectural charm, while in front of it is a field of colorful roses, which is refreshing and beautiful.
"It's still as beautiful as ever this year! Ah, this is what people mean when they talk about taking care of your eyes,"
"The flowers seem a bit listless this year? It seems the summer wasn't hot enough and it had some effect?"
"I think that must have had an impact. Compared to last year, this year's results are indeed slightly inferior, which is really regrettable."
"No matter how many times I see it, I think it's amazing. I don't know how wonderful it would be if I had such a beautiful rose garden at home."
"Stop joking. Who's going to take care of such a big rose garden? Roses are very susceptible to pests and diseases, and it's hard work to take care of them."
"That's true. I heard that it's because Sister Wujiang takes care of the roses every day that pests haven't come over."
