I'm surrounded by women.

"Her name couldn't be..." As her heartbeat gradually quickened, Katori Gensakura asked subconsciously.

"It seems that you already have an answer in your mind? And I can also see what the name that comes to your mind is."

Izumi Kotomi smiled meaningfully and then announced the answer:

"Yes, her name is Bai Cangjian."

boom--

Although Katori Genzakura had already expected it in her heart, she was still very surprised when Izumi Kotomi said the name Bai Cang Jian. She didn't expect that the friend Izumi Kotomi was talking about was actually Bai Cang Jian.

As if the shock on Katori Genzakura's face wasn't enough, Izumi Kotomi added casually:

"I also know that you are a reincarnated person. You are now living your second life. I also know that your name in your previous life was Kurosawa Sakura."

!!!

Hearing Izumi Kotomi's words, Katori Genzakura suddenly lost her composure. She quickly stood up and looked at Izumi Kotomi with horror. Even if the girl in front of her was not human, didn't she know too much?!

When you meet someone for the first time and they know a lot about you, the emotion you feel is no longer shock, but... fear!

Looking at Katori Genzakura with a terrified face, Izumi Kotomi grabbed Genzakura's wrist as if she had guessed it long ago.

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but when Izumi Kotomi held her wrist, Katori Gensakura suddenly felt her inner restless emotions calm down in an instant.

Even in this calm state, he subconsciously sat down again.

In just a few seconds, her emotions went through two extreme changes, which also made Katori Genzakura's understanding of Izumi Kotomi more comprehensive.

Izumi Kotomi, a mysterious woman who can make people lose their minds and restore their minds...

After confirming that Katori Genzakura had calmed down, Izumi Kotomi finally released her wrist and continued with a chuckle:

"Actually, you don't need to be too surprised that I know a lot. I've lived for a hundred thousand years now, and I've seen and experienced so much.

In my opinion, things like reincarnation are just trivial matters that are not worth mentioning.

Traveling from one world to another new world may seem like a fantasy, but in fact, I can come and go freely. Let me tell you a little secret. Guess why, after being the head of the family for decades, I immediately started to choose a successor?

Firstly, I don't want to be the head of the family anymore, and secondly... I want to travel to different worlds.

To be more precise, it is to travel to various different worlds and search for a way to revive them in countless worlds."

After Izumi Kotomi finished speaking, a bitter smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"I feel like I'm listening to a science fiction novel... However, traveling back and forth between different worlds just to find a way to bring loved ones back to life... thank you for your hard work." Katori Genzakura said with some mixed feelings.

"To be precise, it's a fantasy novel. Also, thank you for saying 'you've worked hard'."

Izumi Kotomi smiled and continued:

"Okay, let's get back to the point. More than ten years ago, before you were born, Bai Cangjian and I were pretty good friends. She was one of the few people who knew that I possessed the blood of immortality.

What’s noteworthy is that after she knew that I possessed the blood of immortality, she very seriously asked me to help her complete a task.

That is - if one day I meet you, or learn of your existence, I will give you this small iron box locked with a padlock."

"Give it to me?" Katori Gensakura asked blankly, looking at the locked small iron box in her hand.

"Yes, it's for you."

"What...what's in this small iron box?" Katori Genying felt her head was in a mess at the moment, so she had to rely on instinct to ask the question she wanted to ask most.

"I'm sorry, I don't know. After all, it's locked and I don't have the key. How can I know what's inside?"

In response to Katori Genzakura's answer, Izumi Kotomi responded very readily.

Chapter 138 I Was Weak in the Past, But I Didn’t Die

What Izumi Kotomi said made a lot of sense, but I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Katori Genzakura always felt that Izumi Kotomi actually knew very well what was in the iron box?

After all, the so-called locking of this iron box is just hanging a small padlock on it. This kind of small padlock is very common. Even if you don’t have a key, you can basically open it by just grabbing the padlock itself and shaking it hard.

What's more, not to mention that Izumi Kotomi is a demon who has lived for 100,000 years, just with her identity as the head of the Izumi family, it is a very simple matter for her to pry open a lock and then reinstall the lock as if nothing happened.

Besides, even if physical means are not used, as a demon, Izumi Kotomi should also be able to use spells like X-ray vision, right?

But if you know, why don't you say it out?

Just as Katori Genzakura was lost in her thoughts, Izumi Kotomi suddenly spoke up, saying in a disdainful tone:

"If I had X-ray vision, the first thing I would do right now would definitely not be to open the small tin box to see what's inside. I would want to see what color underwear you're wearing today."

!!!

Katori Gensakura, who was sitting on a chair, was startled when she heard this. She quickly covered her chest with both hands and looked at Izumi Kotomi with a vigilant look. She looked harmless but was actually more like a scumbag witch.

Izumi Kotomi seemed very satisfied with Katori Genzakura's reaction, chuckled, and then continued:

"Just as you thought in your mind just now, if I really wanted to open the small lock on the iron box, it would be a very simple thing, but I didn't do it.

Because Bai Cangjian is a friend of mine, I will definitely try my best to do what my friend asks me to do. And since she didn't tell me what's inside the iron box, it means that she just wants you to know what's in the iron box?

Out of respect for my friend, I will definitely abide by the agreement and request.

After all, I have lived for 100,000 years, and my life will never come to an end. Even after another 100,000 years, I will still be alive, and my appearance will not change at all. Therefore, my concept of time has long been different from that of normal people. It is precisely because of this that I cherish my loved ones, relatives and friends even more.

Ordinary people, no matter how long they live, can only live for a hundred years at most, but a hundred years for me is like the fleeting stars in the night sky."

After Izumi Kotomi finished speaking, the ending theme song of the movie began to play on the big screen.

The lights in the cinema slowly lit up.

Izumi Kotomi took out a wet wipe and gently wiped her little hands that had just eaten popcorn.

After hearing what Izumi Kotomi said, Katori Genzakura gradually understood why Izumi Kotomi described eternal life as a "price to be borne" when talking about it.

Countless people want to achieve immortality, but ironically, Izumi Kotomi, who can truly achieve immortality, regards eternal life as a curse.

This kind of thinking is not the difference between dying of drought or dying of flood, but the fact that in the 100,000 years that she has lived, Kotomi Izumi has experienced the birth, aging, sickness and death of countless people around her. Isn't this a long "torture" for her?

Izumi Kotomi wants to be liberated and wants to face death. If she cannot face death, she wants to resurrect all her deceased friends. With these two ideas in mind, Izumi Kotomi begins her long journey to different worlds.

After traveling in other worlds for a while, she would occasionally come back to see how the world she originally lived in was doing.

Almost every time I come back, I find that the world has changed a lot.

"Thank you for still remembering the agreement with Sister Jian." Katori Genying lowered her head and looked at the iron box in her hand, expressing her gratitude sincerely.

"There's no need to thank me so much. After all... your relationship with Bai Cangjian is very deep and complicated. Therefore, even if Bai Cangjian didn't ask me for help back then, I would have helped you after I knew about your existence." Izumi Kotoha said with a chuckle. At this time, she behaved like an elder.

"Excuse me, when did you meet Sister Jian? Was it when Sister Jian was in Huaxia Port City?"

Katori Genzakura asked the question she had always wanted to ask. She felt that Izumi Kotomi should be the Bai Cangjian whom she met at that time, because her first meeting with Bai Cangjian in her previous life was in the port city of Huaxia.

If it was before this, Bai Cangjian probably wouldn't have recognized me.

After being asked by Katori Genzakura, Izumi Kotomi raised a playful smile at the corner of his mouth and said with a naughty smile: "I won't tell you~"

"I don't know why, after hearing you say you wouldn't tell me, I didn't feel strange at all..." Katori Genzakura smiled bitterly.

"Haha, don't say that. Although I can't tell you when Bai Cangjian and I met, I can give you some clues about this little iron box." Izumi Kotoha said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Katori Genzakura perked up immediately, quickly sat up straight, and asked curiously, "Excuse me, what's the hint?"

"Your mother... ahem, Bai Cangjian actually dropped out of school in the third grade of junior high school. Her hometown is a relatively remote town. If you want to get to the nearest train station from that town, it takes at least half an hour to take a bus.

If she had not chosen to become a voice actor, Bai Cangjian would have been an ordinary small town girl, who dropped out of school early, started working in the family shop early, and got married and had children early.

When people reach a certain age, their views on their hometown are often divided into two types. The first type misses their hometown very much, and the second type hates their hometown very much and is always grateful that they can leave their hometown and gain a foothold in the big city.

And Bai Cangjian happens to be the latter.

When I chatted with her before, she expressed that she hated this remote town and wanted to develop in a big city like Tokyo. Generally speaking, for a small town girl with only a junior high school education to develop in Tokyo, let alone make a lot of money, it would be considered good enough if she could barely support herself.

But Bai Cangjian miraculously established herself in Tokyo. Relying on her amazing dubbing and acting talents, she became an overnight sensation in the voice actor industry.

After becoming famous, she never returned to her hometown, probably because she had no nostalgia for it.

However, if you want to learn more about her, you can go to that town when the time is right."

When Izumi Kotomi said this, she thought to herself:

'That was a close call. I almost let it slip that Yuan Ying was Bai Cang Jian's daughter.

The little girl Yuan Ying has always regarded Bai Cangjian as the older sister next door. If she suddenly found out that her first love was actually her biological mother, she would probably be stunned.

But then again, it seems that even if Bai Cangjian chose to become a voice actor, she seemed to have children quite early. I remember that when she was pregnant with Yuan Ying, she was 17 years old...'

"Go to that town at the right time...this sentence sounds a bit weird." After thinking for a moment, Katori Genzakura expressed her opinion.

"Oh, is that so? I feel fine. It's easy to understand.

The so-called right time means that at a certain moment, you have to go to that town. For example, the destination of the school trip happens to be this town.

By the way, let me remind you that only when you go to that small town at the right time can you know more of the truth. If you are ready to set off for that small town now, I am afraid that even if you arrive there, you will gain nothing.

So, focus on the present and wait for the right time to come."

When Izumi Kotomi said this, she patted Katori Genzakura's shoulder as if to comfort her.

Although Izumi Kotomi had never been a teacher in her life, she had a talent for being a teacher. After this explanation, Katori Genzakura immediately understood a lot.

"I see, thank you very much. But, what is the name of the town you are talking about?"

Katori Genying tried hard to recall in her mind for a long time and found that Bai Cangjian seemed to have never talked about his hometown.

"Her hometown is Yejianshan City. When the time is right and you have to go to Yejianshan City, if you want to learn more about Bai Cangjian, I recommend you visit Yejianshan North Middle School.

However, locals prefer to use the name Ye Jian Kita to describe the middle school.

The junior high school that Bai Cangjian attended was Ye Jianbei, and his class was Class 3, Grade 3.

Although Bai Cangjian dropped out of school in the third year of junior high school, she is very famous in Yejianshan City. Even after so many years, if you go to Yejianshan City and ask, you will probably still find many people who know her.

After all, a red-and-white-level voice actor actually emerged from this small town. Although Yejianshan City is relatively remote, it is not a small town with isolated information. There are many young people in the town. When Bai Cangjian became famous, it did cause quite a stir in his hometown of Yejianshan City.

After Izumi Kotomi finished speaking, she took out another photo. The photo showed a young couple, with their phone numbers written on the back of the photo.

“Later, when you go to Yejianshan City, if you accidentally encounter any trouble while investigating Bai Cangjian’s life experience, you can try to call them. They might be able to help you.

The boy in the photo is named Sakakibara Tsuneichi, and the girl standing next to him is Mizaki Mei.

As you can see, they are a couple and were students of Class 3, Grade 3 of Ye Jianbei School back then... However, the last time I saw them was several years ago, so maybe they have already gotten married.

All in all, these are the tips I can give you now. How you go from now on is up to you."

After Katori Genzakura put away the photos and the iron box, she expressed her gratitude to Izumi Kotomi and said:

"Although there are a lot of things I don't understand in my head now, I am still very grateful that you told me so much. Thank you."

"I accept your gratitude. Well, it's getting late, and your two girlfriends must be getting anxious waiting. I won't disturb your date, you three. You can leave now."

Izumi Kotomi sat on the chair and laughed jokingly.

"I, we three are not in that kind of relationship!" Katori Gen Sakura blushed and quickly clarified.

"At least not now..." After saying this, he added quietly in his heart.

After hearing this, Izumi Kotomi laughed out loud:

"Hahaha, okay, okay, then just consider it my misunderstanding. I won't disturb you three good friends from shopping. Goodbye."

"Goodbye." After saying this, Katori Genzakura left the screening room under the guidance of Matsusaka Funaki.

Watching her leaving, Izumi Kotomi raised her head to look at the ceiling of the screening room and murmured:

"My dear friend, your daughter... is truly interesting. I look forward to the day when she arrives in Yamiyama City and learns the truth."

……

When Katori Genzakura was brought into the screening room.

Shoko Toyokawa, Deng Takamatsu and others were taken to the lounge, a huge VIP lounge that felt bigger than an ordinary screening room.

After sitting down on the soft sofa, a maid from the Izumi family who followed Izumi Kotomi brought them black tea and high-end snacks.

After carefully taking a sip of the black tea, Shoko Toyokawa quickly realized that the black tea in the cup was a very precious tea. Even before her family went bankrupt, they would not dare to choose this kind of tea casually.

Because it is too expensive!

Such precious black tea was directly stored by the Izumi family in a cinema lounge that they seldom visited... Shoko Toyokawa first felt the wealth of the Izumi family, and then felt deeply frustrated.

The wealth and power of the Izumi family, even the Shoko family which had not gone bankrupt, were like a tiny speck of dust under the bright moon in front of the Izumi family, so small that they were not worth mentioning at all.

Even if the Izumi family wanted to suppress the entire Toyokawa family, they could just wave their hands, and countless noble families who wanted to please the Izumi family would rush to stand against the Toyokawa family. The Izumi family would not need to do anything themselves.
