The Thousand Faces transformed from a fly into a gorgeous phoenix in an instant, and its colorful tail feathers flashed through the air like meteors.
In an instant, he rushed above the vast ocean, with his wings spread, and his reflection on the sea was extremely beautiful.
This is a creature that became extinct in the third civilization. Based on the description in ancient books and some remaining corpses, he restored the Phoenix using the art of transformation. He did not turn it into a monster because he was afraid of being mistaken for a monster and causing misunderstandings.
He wanted to fall into the sea, turn into a fish and swim away to avoid being hunted by his enemies.
When he was about to fall, the azure sea surface quickly turned into a deep black like ink.
He raised his head and saw that the clear sky had become overcast.
Boom! A blazing white lightning cut through the dark clouds, dimly illuminating a huge body within the clouds. Thousands of people with thousands of faces widened their eyes. The dark clouds were suddenly torn apart, and a ferocious dragon head emerged, with two dragon whiskers fluttering in the wind, and green scales flowing with a dark light that was obscured by the dark clouds.
In an instant, the sea was filled with the roars of dragons and the cries of phoenixes.
A dragon and a phoenix were fighting each other over the sea.
Soon, Qianren Qianmian felt that he was unable to resist. His claws were unable to break through the defense of the scales and sparks flew. The dragon claws could easily tear his body apart and a large amount of golden blood gushed out.
He was forced to fall into the sea and dive down as a fish.
The blue dragon then dived into the sea.
The Thousand Faces immediately transformed into a super giant prehistoric octopus, and its eight legs wrapped around the dragon's body, trying to strangle it to death.
The dragon did not struggle, but turned directly into a pool of sea water and merged into the surroundings. Then, the waves violently slammed the octopus out of the sea, and several tentacles condensed from sea water grew out, wrapped around the Thousand Man and Thousand Faces, and dragged it downwards.
In the blink of an eye, Thousand People and Thousand Faces had arrived at the dark deep sea area. The strong water pressure caused the octopus's body surface to gradually show signs of cracking.
The constantly pouring in sea water made it impossible for Qianren Qianmian to maintain his rationality. His mind was filled with only one thought: he was dead.
At this desperate moment, Qianren Qianmian was quickly pushed to the surface of the sea, feeling dizzy and nauseous, "Cough cough."
The sea water on the side rolled up, like the sea god appearing before the world, and said calmly: "Who sent you?"
The octopus had a mouth on its surface. "I have a professional ethics."
Shiraishi pulled it down directly, and after a few minutes of deep-sea meal, he pulled it up again and asked, "Do you still have your professional ethics?"
"It's gone, it's gone." Qianren Qianmian hurriedly shook her head, turning from an octopus into a pitiful girl, hoping that this man would show mercy, "I was asked by Mayumi Shido of Sensō-ji Temple to go to your shrine and get the blue bead hanging around the tiger's neck."
"Where did you agree to meet?"
"The corner café in Shinjuku." Once Qianrenqianmian chose to betray, he no longer hesitated. He had professional ethics, but he would not sacrifice his life for his professional ethics.
Besides, what kind of monster did Mayumi offend? Its transformation technique is even more powerful than his.
He was secretly angry and held a grudge against Mayumi.
As for Bai Shi, he is too strong and I can't hate him.
"Oh." Bai Shi didn't continue to bother him.
……
Shinjuku, corner cafe.
Mayumi sat by the window, looking at the bustling crowd outside. She held the hot coffee in her hand and took a sip seemingly leisurely, but she was not as calm as she appeared. Can she succeed?
This anxiety and uneasiness comes from a lack of trust in the strength of thousands of people.
It made her feel like she was back to the first time she handled the task that year. She became restless and said, "Ha."
Blow out a breath toward the window.
Mayumi wanted to draw a smiley face with her hands to relieve her inner tension.
The doorbell of the coffee shop rang, and she looked over there immediately, her heart sinking as if into an ice cellar.
The customer who entered the store had short black hair and was wearing a blue and white down jacket. His regular facial features were a face she could never forget.
Shiraishi...why did this guy come here? Mayumi was puzzled, not willing to believe that the thousand faces were exposed.
That guy's transformation skills are superb, this must be a coincidence.
As she thought so, Bai Shi walked over to the opposite side, sat down and said carelessly: "He won't come."
This sentence shattered Mayumi's hope. She pursed her lips and tried to keep calm. "What did you say?"
"You're really being stubborn. It was you who sent that Thousand Faces to me." Bai Shi said, taking out a blue core from his pocket. "Do you want to steal this?"
Mayumi continued to look stern, thinking that even if she died, she could not lose the reputation of Sensō-ji Temple. She should at least face death calmly. "Well, this is related to the case I'm investigating. If you find out, I'm prepared. If you want to kill me, go ahead."
Bai Shi smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous. I'm not a man-eating monster. I won't kill anyone for such a small matter. If you want it, I'll give it to you."
"Eh?!" Mayumi's intellectual almond-shaped eyes widened, affecting her light red eyeshadow. She could no longer maintain her cold expression and showed a hint of daze.
"I'm not the kind of unreasonable person. You've worked hard for this, so I'm giving this to you. Let's get along well in the future."
With a sincere expression on his face, Bai Shi stuffed the core into her palm, closed it for her, patted it and said, "Goodbye."
"Yeah." Mayumi still couldn't wrap her mind around it. She watched Shiraishi leave the store. The touch in her hand told her that this was not a dream.
The core that I tried so hard to get is actually so easy to get?
She stood there in disbelief.
The waiter came over and said with a smile: "Miss, your boyfriend is really handsome. This is the milk coffee he ordered for you."
"Oh, no, that's not it." Mayumi quickly shook her head to deny it. She had never been in a relationship, so how could she have a boyfriend?
The waiter covered his mouth and laughed, "That's not what I meant. How could he give you such a precious gem?"
Mayumi's heart beat faster because of what she said, and she felt the gem in her palm getting hot. She quietly opened it with her white fingertips, wanting to take a look.
Bang! A puff of blue smoke gushed out from the fingertips and sprayed Mayumi in the face. "Haha, idiot, your job is none of my business!"
The reserved sarcasm sounded in her ears, and her delicate oval face was directly rendered blue. The trace of heartbeat was extinguished, and the tone was as cold as ice, "Look, I said he is not my boyfriend."
"Hehe..." The waiter smiled awkwardly and was too embarrassed to say that he did not pay for the cup of coffee milk.
She quickly made an excuse that a guest was coming and slipped away.
Mayumi looked at the crumbs in her palm, her heart filled with anger. That guy was indeed an enemy! !
If she could beat him, she would really like to grab that person and slap him three hundred times.
However, after her anger, Mayumi calmed down and realized that if she couldn't get it, no one else could get it either. The situation was not as bad as she thought.
"Give up, start somewhere else, it's much easier than this."
Mayumi murmured, deciding not to start from the core.
……
A few more days.
After the beginning of winter, Nohara City welcomed its first snow.
Snow flakes fell, slowly covering the mountains with a layer of silver.
The sliding door of the living room was closed, and the winter artifact, the kotatsu, finally came in handy. Because the mansion of Nohara Shrine is relatively old-fashioned, the kotatsu is a fixed one.
The advantage is that people can hang their feet down without tiring their waists, but the disadvantage is that they cannot move.
Shiraishi tucked his feet into the warm kotatsu, a relaxed expression on his face, and the hot pot was placed in the middle of the table.
Jun Komori and the others are responsible for bringing the washed ingredients here.
One dish after another, and finally there is warm rice wine.
"You can only drink half a bottle~" Jun Komori reminded gently. Drinking too much alcohol is not good for the body, but it is acceptable to drink it occasionally.
"Ah."
Bai Shi nodded, reached out to take the rice wine, poured himself a glass, and put the thinly sliced snow beef into the hot pot.
The hotpot is a shuangxiang pot, half of which is vegetarian soup, and the other half is so spicy that the soup turns red.
The meat will be cooked through in no time after being dipped in it, and it tastes so spicy when you put it in your mouth.
"Wow~ It feels so good!" Guilongyuan Misaya was so spicy that she was breathing heavily. A thin layer of sweat began to appear on her forehead. She simply took off her top and only wore a tights.
As she swallowed the spicy food, her wheat-colored cheeks gradually turned red, looking very attractive.
Shiraishi took a sip of the hot rice wine, feeling relieved, and asked, "Kannagi, did you watch the ending of the Passerby Heroine?"
Kaminagi Rin looked quite depressed and said, "I finished reading it, and in the end, he actually chose that ordinary-looking heroine. Tsk."
Eriri was able to mess up a hand that was perfect for her. She is such a brainless idiot.
If it were her, with that kind of advantage, she would have pushed to the upper hand long ago and would not have given anyone a chance.
Bai Shi smiled and said, "Now you can understand the good intentions of the male protagonist in opening a harem, right?"
"I never empathize with losers." Kaminagi Rin shook her head, picked up a piece of spinach from the vegetarian soup, dipped it in the hot pot sauce prepared by Komori Jun, and took a delicious bite.
After watching the movie "The Passerby Girl", she became more determined that she must not lose.
Bai Shi said earnestly: "It is said that we should put ourselves in other people's shoes.
If you were Eriri, when you were rejected by your beloved, would you think, how nice it would be if this was a harem manga, where everyone could have a happy ending without regrets? "
Kaminagi Rin said with a firm expression: "I will not lose."
"Me too!" Guilongyuan Misaya quickly swallowed the beef and echoed loudly.
"..." Shiraishi didn't continue talking. He could only slowly change Kaminagi. He believed that one day, this person would be able to understand the feelings of those losers and his attitude would change.
……
The rice wine was almost finished when Bai Shi noticed someone breaking into the barrier. He looked outside and said, "Xiao Sen, open the door."
"Yeah." Jun Komori didn't ask the reason. The inner ghost jumped out of the wick and opened the sliding door.
The dark night was shrouded outside, with wind and snow, the coldness competing with the heat inside the house.
Guilongyuan Meiya was sweating profusely while eating, and stuck out her tongue and said, "Shiraishi-kun, why are you opening the door?"
"somebody is coming."
Facing the three people's suddenly alert expressions, he spoke to comfort them, "You don't need to be nervous. The other party should have no ill intentions."
A figure took advantage of the wind and snow to approach the corridor, stopped in the area illuminated by the lights, and said in a deep voice: "I came here in the snow at night, please don't be offended, Master Divine."
The man was covered in a black cloak and had a black hood on his head. His long hair was pushed down to cover his ears and he had a warm smile on his face.
Shiraishi had to leave the kotatsu, walked out of the living room barefoot, and closed the sliding door with his backhand, "Who are you?"
"My name is Hojo Shuugo. Lord God, can you let me see the core of the Mary doll made by Dimaria?"
The man lifted his hood with his hands and shook off the snow on his head, his deep green eyes full of sincerity.
He came to the house at this time to take advantage of the wind and snow to avoid the sight of the anti-sexual squad members who were monitoring him outside.
Once you get in here, the anti-sexual squad will not be able to spy on you.
Bai Shi took out Mary's core and said with a smile: "It's okay to give it to you, but I'm curious, why does that woman keep staring at you?"
"If you know too much, the Lord God will also be involved. Even so, you still need to know it."
Hojo Shugo said in a tone that was almost like he was asking himself, "Then I'll tell you, a hundred years ago, Timaria and I tried to change the world and set up a supernatural school to teach all those with spiritual powers.
Let them become extraordinary and break down the barriers between the extraordinary and ordinary people.
In the end, we failed and were besieged by various major forces. Some of our members died, some dispersed. Dimalia and I were the only remaining founders of the Red Crimson, and we were also cursed by a powerful person from the secret realm.
I will die soon.”
Hojo Shugo stated the truth very calmly. This was the first time he and Shiraishi had communicated face to face, but he knew this man very well. His past style of doing things was close to the red ideology, and he was extremely powerful.
Maybe one day after his death, I can take up the red baton.
He believed that the human body could be destroyed, but noble beliefs could be passed down from generation to generation and would never be easily destroyed by those guys.
"Oh, no wonder they're staring at you like that."
Bai Shi suddenly realized that the Fifth Civilization has been around for 2.6 million years, and it is no longer the era when one could obtain extraordinary inheritance when encountering relics for the first time.
Even if one has powerful spiritual powers, without blood ties and connections, one will still live a mediocre life.
The steps to ascend are fixed, and anyone who wants to change this must have the power to smash the entire world.
For example, Shiraishi.
However, he is not interested in a world where everyone is extraordinary. By that time, new contradictions will surely emerge in the world.
And then you have to deal with it again. People’s troubles are troubles that can never be solved.
