This old lady, who is actually over 70 years old, is really young in her thinking.
Of course, Xia Chuanhu, who has a five-digit salary, is quite young.
18. This is the story of how Kallen killed the vixen
Finally, after much persuasion from Natsukawa Tora, Aozaki Touko gave up the idea of going to Natsukawa's house right now, and made an appointment to find an opportunity next time and then left.
The meeting time was less than twenty minutes.
乂For the situation of [reunion after a long separation], this cannot be said to be very suitable, but this is the situation that Xiachuan Hu and Aozaki Touko are most accustomed to.
After all, neither of them is young anymore, and they got tired of the tricks young people play many years ago. Now this bland and somewhat inhuman way of getting along is more normal. Xia Chuanhu feels that if another ten years pass, it is not impossible for their relationship to develop into a platonic love.
After separating from Aozaki Touko, Natsukawa Tora did not go home immediately, but went to a place he rarely went to.
......
"Oh? World Serpent?"
Inside Otto's mansion.
Otto, who was playing games, stopped what he was doing temporarily when he heard what Xiachuanhu said.
"I didn't expect you to come here suddenly for this organization's business. It's unexpected. I thought you would spend the night with Ms. Orange."
"You know about me and Orange?"
"No, I found out today for the first time. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have been so panicked when you first came to Tianming five years ago."
This is true.
At that time, Otto was truly shocked and uneasy by Xiachuanhu's power. It was one of the few times in his life that he faced directly the "great existence that cannot be explained".
"Does Tianming really know something about the World Serpent?"
"I can't say I know a lot about it. I should say I only know a small part of it."
Otto left the display screen that took up an entire wall and sat down on the sofa opposite Xia Chuanhu. "Although Skymancer is the oldest organization in the world, that is only [on the surface] after all. I think you understand that things [in the dark] are difficult to guess."
"And the World Serpent is a very deep thing even in the dark, like a snake that has burrowed hundreds of meters underground. This is the relevant information."
With just a slight wave of his hand, Otto presented a piece of information to Xiachuan Hu.
——【World Snake】
In terms of reputation, not many people know about this organization, but the scale of its existence is so large that even Tianming's intelligence department cannot figure it out. Not only that, after initially learning about the World Serpent organization, Tianming has never stopped investigating it, but the intelligence department has investigated it countless times, but no information about the World Serpent has been found out at all.
In other words, only the most peripheral intelligence can be investigated, and the truly important intelligence cannot be obtained at all.
At present, the only intelligence about the World Snake that Tianming knows is the following: there are traces of its activities all over the world, its existence may be longer than Tianming, and it has a far-reaching infiltration on all forces.
"The World Serpent is like a snake hidden in the shadows of history. Based on what we have been able to investigate so far, to put it in an exaggerated way, the World Serpent has existed since the beginning of human history. The snake you asked me to investigate five years ago, I think, might be the World Serpent."
Five years ago, Siberia.
Although it eventually turned into an incident where the Second Herrscher was briefly revived, there were more suspicious points before that.
For example, the specific situation of Baba Yaga was not figured out until the end, the mountain research institute located in the Ural Mountains, and Vita who inexplicably appeared in the laboratory and was related to the god of the Quantum Sea.
In addition to the giant snake seen in the quantum sea and the observer mentioned by Chaos, Xia Chuanhu handed all of these over to Otto to investigate.
It’s not that he’s lazy, it’s just that he’s busy with the destiny ritual and taking care of the kids, so he doesn’t have much time.
Besides, even if he asked Otto to investigate, Otto would definitely hand the matter over to the intelligence department. This kind of top-down distribution is a fixed routine that must be followed in any organization. It can only be said that most bosses are like this.
"By the way, why are you suddenly interested in the World Serpent? Have you lost interest in Anti-Entropy?"
"No, I have always been interested in Anti-Entropy, and I still am. Whether it's the two scientists who are keen on combining magic and science, or the new models released every quarter, I am quite satisfied. It will take at least a hundred years for me to lose interest, right?"
There is no doubt that Xiachuanhu has the power to influence the world. Even judging from the records of Xiachuanhu's attacks collected by Otto, his power is definitely not limited to "influencing the world". I'm afraid that "conquering the world" and "destroying the world" make no difference to him.
The world can still maintain its status quo normally, all because Xia Chuanhu has no intention of doing anything wrong. While he possesses extraordinary power, he also has the normal rationality that a human being should have.
Every time Otto thought of this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
(A god who is powerful enough to destroy the world can be won over by Anti-Entropy with a simple model... I really don't know what to think.)
This is the gap in business.
Like Anti-Entropy, Tianming also has subsidiaries for raising funds. However, unlike Anti-Entropy, which made mecha animations in its early years and can still generate revenue through peripheral products, Tianming does not have much involvement in related industries. This results in Otto's gifts to Xiachuanhu not being as natural and smooth as Anti-Entropy every time.
He has never refused the glue that Nien-Entropy gave to Xia Chuanhu!
Xiachuanhu didn't even look at the high-end items that Otto sent over!
Even a fool can see the difference in treatment.
"Speaking of which, Otto, what is this game you're playing?"
Putting down the information about World Snake, Xia Chuanhu looked at the game interface on the screen that had not been closed.
"Hmm? Is God interested in games?"
"I guess so. I play games every day, too. I've completed all of Alahato's spin-off games. But I haven't seen your game yet."
"It's the sixth game in the Kallen Fantasy series that I developed myself. It's been more than ten years since the last one." Otto explained, "But I've never released it. It's just a small-scale game for internal circulation within Tianming. Would you like to try it, Lord God?"
Taking the handle handed over by Otto, Xia Chuanhu operated it briefly: "Hmm~~~~ It feels like a good pastime. Can you tell me what the general plot is? If you name it [Karen], it must be related to your sweetheart."
"Of course."
Otto's tone was filled with joy: "The process of this game is not long. In short, it is the story of Kallen defeating the fox spirit from the East."
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Xiachuanhu felt that Otto was in a very good mood when he said this, especially when he mentioned the matter of [Kallen defeating the vixen].
but--
(Oriental vixen?)
(I seem to have some impression of this image?)
Looking at the pink fox-eared girl holding a katana on the screen, Xiachuan Hu suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
19. Destiny Lost His Eyes
Xia Chuanhu didn't play the game with Otto for a long time. After a simple try, he asked Otto for a copy of the game and then flashed back home.
However, when he returned home, he saw a somewhat funny scene.
"What are you two doing?"
"Uh... this... this..."
On the sofa, Vita and Jizi, who were entangled in a very indecent posture and in dishevel, paused for a moment in awkwardness, then quickly separated and tidied their clothes, with a slight blush on their cheeks.
Seeing the two people acting as if someone had discovered their private affairs, Xia Chuanhu tilted his head: "I say, you guys... Could it be that you have only known each other for two days and you're already doing this-"
"no!"
Without waiting for Xiachuan Hu to finish the last few words, Vita spoke up and explained: "Jizi and I definitely didn't do anything bad at home! Don't worry, Hu!"
"...I haven't said anything yet. Well, if you say so, I'll just assume so."
"That's good, that's good~~~"
Vita breathed a sigh of relief.
(That was a close call. I almost got misunderstood as someone with a special fetish. But Jizi is really something. Why did she suddenly come out to stop me after just answering a phone call? I couldn't even leave the house!)
(However, since Tiger came back today, does that mean nothing happened between him and Orange?)
"By the way, Tiger, you came back very quickly. It's not even an hour."
"Originally, it was just because we hadn't seen each other for a while, and Orange was unexpectedly here too, so we went out to meet. Actually, for me and her, even if we hadn't seen each other for a hundred years, it wouldn't have much of an impact. Just a casual chat about family matters is enough."
Xia Chuanhu said as he took out a can of drink from the kitchen: "But after all, it's a long time since we met again, so I made an appointment to accompany her this weekend night, so you guys can take care of the weekend dinner, I will probably be back on Monday evening."
"......"
The expression on Vita's face suddenly changed from a slight joy to a state as cold as an iceberg.
She was sure she had heard correctly.
Judging from what Xiachuan Hu said, he would probably leave home in the evening this weekend and would not be back until Monday evening, which should be a total of 24 hours - even if he still had classes on Monday, so it would actually finish around seven in the morning, but that also meant that he and that Orange had at least twelve hours to spend together!
(Twelve hours... a man and a woman alone together for twelve hours...)
"...Tsk."
Vita pouted quite quietly.
"Hmm? Why did you make that sound?"
"No, you must have heard me wrong. But I was really shocked. You actually have a wife, Hu. You should have told me about this earlier."
"I don't think I ever said I wasn't married, did I? And didn't I say that before? You don't believe me, so why do you blame me?"
(At that time, no one would believe it without any evidence!)
"By the way, there is something I need to tell you."
"say what?"
Xia Chuanhu has something to say to her? For some reason, Vita suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
The next moment, Xia Chuanhu took out a small piece of metal from his pocket and said with a smile: "Vita, does this small piece of metal look familiar to you?"
"...No, it doesn't look familiar."
Vita looked away.
"Where did you pick it up? Or did you make it yourself?"
(Damn it, Tiger actually discovered the locator I secretly hid on him!)
"Based on my analysis of the fingerprints on this little toy... this is what you did, Vita." Xia Chuanhu threw the locator to Vita. "I don't know why you secretly made this kind of thing, and how you hid it on me, but next time you do something like this, tell me."
“Oh…ah?”
"Eh?"
Not only Vita who caught the locator, but also Ji Zi who was tidying up her appearance was stunned.
Should I tell Xia Chuanhu before installing the locator?
"Tiger, you... No, no, I didn't make this! You're mistaken!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, just keep going." Xia Chuanhu took a sip of his drink. "That's all I want to say. Just tell me. You can install a locator or a bug on me, or whatever you want. I can accept this kind of harmless little joke."
Is installing eavesdropping devices and locators just a joke?
So what is a big deal to him?
"Tora...I'm sorry."
"There's no need to apologize, but Vita, it's okay if you do this to me, but don't do it to other people. Not everyone is as easy to talk to as me."
"Of course I know that. I will definitely only do this to you."
Putting away the transmitter, Vita took two steps at a time and headed for the stairs: "Then I'll go up first. See you tomorrow, Tiger!"
"Oh."
Looking at Vita who was leaving quickly, Xia Chuanhu paused for a moment and then sighed: "She said before that it wasn't her who did it, but she blew herself up just because I said something casually... She is definitely not suitable to be a person who keeps secrets."
"Feel the same."
Ji Zi also covered her face: "Then I'll go up first, Xia Chuan, I have to get up early to go to the research institute tomorrow."
"Oh, see you tomorrow—I'll have breakfast ready."
"Thank you~~~"

Just as Natsukawa Tora was having the usual conversation that could be found everywhere with Vita and Himeko.
China, Guangzhou.
"Clap!"
