Love is not as fun as World of Warcraft

"It's not what you think, but they have no experience dealing with things like monsters. You are the expert in dealing with this kind of thing, right?"

Jiuzhong Mozi guessed what Shirasaka was thinking without even turning her head. After waving her hand gently, she explained to him.

"Based on what you're saying, the barrier-like thing created by the monsters has a huge impact on ordinary people. Even if I bring more bodyguards and more firepower, I'm sure there's no way I can do anything about it."

"Of course, this is just my guess. Whether or not we'll encounter that kind of thing, we'll have to wait until we get there to find out."

Jiuchong Mozi pinched her chin. Only when she was reasoning would she look so serious.

Even so, Shirasaka still regretted bringing this guy out. He himself had not encountered many monsters. What if something unexpected happened and he couldn't protect her?

"Don't worry. I asked you to bring me out because I was sure you could handle any possible danger. I wouldn't gamble my life on something like that. I haven't even gotten together with someone yet, so how could I die so easily?"

Seeing that Shirasaka had not responded to her, Kunou Mozi raised her head and looked at the boy behind her. Finally, she reached out and touched his face, explaining softly.

"The main thing is that you can't act alone. What if I get held back?"

Shirasaka still expressed his concerns. Kunou Moko is not as good as Ichinose Kagamikashi. After all, the latter is a professional who specializes in dealing with monsters. If he really can't defeat her, he can still run away.

But how does Jiuchong Mozi run? Is she racing by pushing her wheelchair with one hand?

"That's easy. Just carry me on your back and run with me, just like before."

Jiuchong Mozi shrugged, looking like she didn't take this matter to heart at all.

"It's best that way."

Shirasaka shook his head. He had already decided to take her away if something unexpected happened. Only then did he feel a little relieved.

Maybe it is not easy to fight with her, but if you just run away, it is still simple.

As they were talking, Shirasaka finally pushed Kunou Mozi to their destination. This place was not too far from the hospital, so even if they walked, it didn't take them much time.

"So, what are you doing here?"

Shirasaka looked around and found no trace of Chang'an or the cultists. After confirming that this was a deserted small park with no one passing by, he turned his head and looked at Jiuzhong Mozi in the wheelchair.

If he remembered correctly, he should have come to discuss the conspiracy of the Xuyan Secret Sect with Jiuchong Mozi, but the current situation made it more like he brought her out for a private meeting.

At least judging from the current situation, even if I do something to Jiuchong Mozi here, no one will find out.

"Don't worry, do you have any tools with you?"

Jiuchong Mozi also squinted her eyes and glanced around, then as if verifying something, her gaze stopped at the bottom of a small tree.

"What tool?"

Shirasaka scratched his head, wondering if it counted as he had brought murder tools.

"It's a digging tool. If we move that tree and dig down, we should be able to see what we want to confirm."

Jiuchong Mozi pointed at the small tree, and then showed a confident expression, as if everything was developing according to her guess.

However, what she didn't expect was that Shirasaka, who had always been omnipotent in her eyes, was now in a dilemma. He was not a gold miner, so how could he carry digging tools with him?

Fortunately, Shirasaka suddenly realized that Yamaubade's kitchen knife was big enough and sharp enough, so it could be used as a tool for digging the ground.

When Shirasaka squatted under the small tree with a kitchen knife in his hand, he finally noticed that there was something unusual here compared to other places.

The soil on the ground was a little too soft compared to the soil next to it, as if it had been deliberately transplanted. Although it had been modified, it still could not conceal this fact.

"Is this within your expectations?"

Looking back with a bit of surprise at the girl who was sitting in a wheelchair with her eyes closed, seemingly meditating on something, Shirasaka finally understood clearly what it meant not to try to question his military advisor.

Just focus on doing what you should do.

Shirasaka's physical fitness, which is several times better than that of ordinary people, allows him to dig holes much faster and more easily than ordinary people.

After removing the troublesome tree, Shirasaka quickly dug out a one-meter-deep pit there. As a result, the twisted and hideous body of the old man that was hidden underneath was finally revealed to him.

"...Tsk, is this really something you could deduce while sitting on that hospital bed without even leaving the room?"

Shirasaka looked at the corpse that had been brought to light because of his own actions. Judging from the degree of its decay, it had obviously been buried for no more than two days.

As for this familiar way of death, Shirasaka knew it very well. If he hadn't been there at that time, Nanashiki Mio would probably have suffered the same fate as the corpse in front of him, right?

Now Shirasaka can be sure that Kunou Mozi is indeed helping him investigate the conspiracy of the Xuyan Secret Sect. This kind of disgusting and cruel method is indeed something that those guys can do.

"Are you questioning the reasoning ability of your dear Lady Jiuchong Mozi? Since there are indeed corpses here, it means that my guesses about these guys are basically correct."

Jiuzhong Mozi rolled her eyes at Shirasaka, pushed the wheelchair around to prevent herself from seeing the corpse in the pit, and muttered to herself, but quickly turned around and reminded Shirasaka.

"Oh, by the way, now that it's confirmed, let's burn the body. If I'm right, this thing is more than just a corpse."

However, before Kunou Mozi finished her words, Shirasaka clearly saw that the corpse, which was originally stiff with its eyes open, inexplicably shook at a strange angle.

Chapter 74: Wasn’t this also picked up?

For the first time, he had a deep understanding of the legendary meticulous planning, but before this thing could attack, Shirasaka stabbed the kitchen knife in his hand, which was still stained with the fragrance of mud, into its chest.

If Shirasaka was the only one here, he would definitely be interested in seeing what would happen next and what strange thing this corpse would turn into.

But right now, there is Jiuzhong Mozi who is completely unable to move, so Baisaka can only choose to fight quickly and decisively.

He directly crushed the heart of the corpse. Shirasaka didn't care about ensuring the integrity of the crime scene. He turned around and chopped off the head of the still shaking corpse.

As the head of the corpse fell off, its shaking movements finally stopped.

But even so, Shirasaka still looked at the corpse with a serious face, and had no intention of taking back the kitchen knife in his hand. After thinking carefully for a moment, Shirasaka decided to evacuate from the pit first, and pushed Jiuzhong Mozi, who was also paying attention to this side, to a safer distance.

It’s not that Shirasaka is too cautious, but without the experience points, he can’t judge whether the other party is really dead.

You know, even a creature like the evil spirit that has been hit once will give experience points when it hits it again. There is no reason why it shouldn't give experience points.

As expected, when Shirasaka pushed Kunou Mozi to a safe distance, he turned around and saw something like a black light overflowing from the severed head of the corpse. While the body was constantly condensing in mid-air, a dark gray area with this as the center spread out to the surrounding areas on the ground.

Shirasaka is very familiar with this thing. Isn't this just Chang'an?

As for the monster that gradually emerged from the corpse, it was a familiar face to Shirasaka. The abnormally swollen head, the long tongue that stretched out hideously, and the kitchen knife that formed out of thin air and was exactly the same as the one in his hand, all revealed its identity.

Does this mean that I have witnessed the birth of a monster?

But Kagami Ichinose also clearly said that monsters are the result of the gathering of evil in the world. How could they come out directly from a corpse like they did now?

Unable to explain what was happening before his eyes, Shirasaka only knew that if it was just a single Yamaubade, the problem would be much easier to solve.

He was startled and thought it was some difficult boss.

If it were Kagami Ichinose or someone else, a monster that appeared out of nowhere, combined with the sudden deployment of Tokuan, would definitely be enough to catch the opponent off guard. But the problem was that this happened to Shirasaka, a guy who completely ignored Tokuan's actions.

It felt like, "So that's how it is! I thought someone was trying to steal my eggs." Shirasaka didn't even wait for Chang'an to fully unfold before he walked in impatiently.

The mountain old woman in the constant darkness has completely condensed her body. Her appearance looks somewhat similar to the old man with a corpse below her, but the ferocious light in her eyes also means that she has lost her consciousness before her death, and only hatred for the real people remains.

"Have you finished transforming? If you have, I will start fighting."

But when it raised its head, it was not met with the fearful gaze it had imagined, but with the figure of Shirasaka walking towards it with a kitchen knife in hand, looking cold but also expectant.

It was incomprehensible why a human being had no fear of monsters, but her bloodthirsty instinct drove her directly to attack Shirasaka. Her scarlet tongue licked the blade of the kitchen knife in her hand, and Yamaba turned into a black lightning and rushed directly towards the young man in front of her.

And then, it flew backwards.

There was a kitchen knife of the same type as the one in her hand on her chest. Yamababe didn't even realize what was happening. How could the boy be faster than him? He couldn't even see Shirasaka's movements clearly before the knife had already stabbed into his chest. At the same time, a knee strike also hit him.

Until it fell to the ground, the mountain old man seemed not to react to what had happened. It was still roaring and snarling, and did not notice that Baisaka had come to its side.

Without even looking down at the Yamababe who was still screaming, Shirasaka just glanced at it and then pulled the kitchen knife out of its chest.

It was not until this time that the monster realized that it had been hit. It lowered its head to look at the wound on its chest from which black, dirty blood was constantly oozing out, and its screams became even more shrill.

It's just a pity that no matter how miserably it screamed, Shirasaka had no intention of letting it go. On the contrary, its eyes lit up, as if it had come up with another bad idea.

The next second, Yamaba, who was still trying to fight back, felt a strong force coming from his hand. Looking carefully, he found that Shirasaka had already grasped his weapon, the kitchen knife, and was pulling it towards him with force.

"Bring it to you!"

Although the newborn Yamababe in front of him seemed to be a little stronger than the previous one, Shirasaka was no longer the weakling with only two points of all attributes. Now that he had reached level four and his strength had doubled, this Yamababe was no match for him at all.

In just a blink of an eye, the kitchen knife originally held in Yamaubade's hand was taken away by Shirasaka, and the boy who originally held the knife was now upgraded to a master of two swords.

Completely ignoring Yamauba who went berserk because his weapon was taken away, Shirasaka just shook the newly picked up kitchen knife in his hand. After confirming that it felt exactly the same as the previous one, he happily put it into his backpack.

In order to avoid the bug of the knife disappearing along with the mountain hag, it is better to put it away before it dies.

As for the furious Yamaubade that was under his feet, Shirasaka naturally would not end its life so easily. There was one thing that he had wanted to test for a long time.

He gently waved his empty hand towards the struggling mountain witch at his feet, and a holy golden light suddenly illuminated the dark place, expelling the ominous aura and pouring directly onto its body.

Then, just like pouring boiling magma directly on the ice, the place where the mountain maiden came into contact with the holy light melted into a wisp of green smoke. Without even struggling, the mountain maiden melted directly under the illumination of the holy light.

Well, very good. It seems that regardless of other monsters, this mountain witch is also considered as one of the immortal creatures.

For Shirasaka, this was a good thing to be thankful for.

As the Yamaubade that was born from the corpse died under the holy light, the eternal darkness that had originally spread began to dissipate naturally. After Shirasaka simply cleaned up the battlefield, he returned to Kunou Mozi who was pushing a wheelchair over.

"How is it? Does it feel a little different from the monsters you've fought before?"

Kunou Mozi was obviously very curious about the battle between Shirasaka and Yamaubade. She had never come into contact with these products beyond human common sense, so she kept her eyes on Shirasaka almost the entire time, and finally had a new understanding of his strength.

But these are irrelevant to the current situation. She came here just to confirm another thing with Shirasaka.

"It does seem to be a bit stronger than ordinary monsters, but it's only to a limited extent."

Shirasaka nodded. This Yamaubade was obviously stronger than the one he and Ichinose Kagami encountered in the darkness before. It could be seen from the fact that it provided a hundred more experience points than the previous one that the stronger this thing was, the more experience points it gave.

It's just a pity that compared to Shirasaka's own growth, it is obviously insufficient.

"Then you should go take another look at the corpse. If I'm not mistaken, there should be something else next to the corpse. That's what caused this monster to be born."

Having verified her own idea once again, Jiuzhong Mozi pinched her chin and gave instructions to Baisaka. The strategizing look on her face was indeed the result of having the situation under control.

After hearing her description, Shirasaka turned around and searched around the headless corpse in the pit, and he actually found a somewhat strange stone.

He had seen this thing before on the cultist who kidnapped Nanase Mio, but the one in front of him was obviously much smaller than that one.

At this moment, just like the stone before, it seemed that because it had lost its host, the orange light in it was gradually extinguishing. When Shirasaka was about to put it into his backpack, it had already turned into a handful of gray soil.

"I've also seen this thing on the cultist before. So, are these people from the False Words Cult actively creating monsters?"

Shirasaka explained to Kunou Mozi that he had seen this stone once before, and expressed his understanding.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that this group of guys from the Xuyan Secret Cult are not just holding some rituals, they are also transforming humans into monsters. This makes it a little unclear what they are trying to do.

"Yes, but this is just a convenient thing for them to do to achieve their goal. Firstly, it can prevent people like you from interfering with their plans. Secondly, the monsters created by this can also create chaos, making it impossible for people to guess what their plan is."

Jiuchong Mozi narrowed her eyes, as if she was solving a difficult problem, and an eager expression appeared on her face.

But unfortunately, the person who planned all this was smart, but not smart enough, at least, not as smart as her.

Chapter 75 The Ultimate Goal

"Then, what is the real purpose of these guys?"

Shirasaka pinched his chin like Kunou Moko. His current speculation was stuck at what she said. He had no idea where to go next. After all, there were only so many clues on the table. It would be difficult for him to guess further.

"Hmm... If you want to know, then kiss me."

After keeping it a secret for a while, Jiuchong Mozi instantly had a mischievous smile on her face. Then she closed her eyes, raised her head, and made a gesture for a kiss.

Although it looked like just a small joking action, judging from the tense posture of her clenched palms, she was not as relaxed as she appeared.

Shirasaka could only smile helplessly, then leaned down and raised his hand to give the silver-haired girl a slap on the forehead.

"You still want to kiss me? How many times have I told you not to gamble with your safety? Are you doing it again? You never listened to me, right?"

Ignoring the girl's puzzled look as she covered her forehead with her hands, Shirasaka reached out and touched her little nose. Before, this girl had vowed that she would not joke about her own safety, but from her performance just now, she was still betting that she could be faster than the monster.

She hadn't considered how she would escape if she flipped over. Would she rely on the wheelchair beneath her? She could handle this situation on her own, so why did she have to come along and join in the fun?

Shirasaka has always known her sister's personality and temper. Once she becomes interested in something, she will easily put all the chips she can on the line, even if it involves her own life, she will still enjoy it.

Although she likes to say that this is just one of the bargaining chips in her hand and it is a necessary procedure to achieve her goal, Shirasaka never agrees with this.

She could lose the bet, but she only had one chance to save her life. Besides, her life was not just hers.

"Because I believe in you, you won't lose."

Jiuzhong Mozi put down the hand that was covering her forehead and looked at Shirasaka with a stubborn look, obviously wanting to argue with him.

"Furthermore, if I don't witness these monsters with my own eyes, I will never be able to have a concrete understanding of them. At the same time, I won't know what kind of monsters you are fighting behind my back. I absolutely cannot allow this to happen."

Her light brown pupils were fixed on the young man in front of her. Kunou Mozi gritted her teeth, with an expression that showed that she would never give in even if Shirasaka continued to beat her.
