In the world of Fairy Sword, in the capital of Nanzhao, Baiyue looked up at the stars in the sky. These round little cuties were so far away from him. In his many reincarnations, he had thought about going to the stars, but unfortunately, there was no way to realize it.
Not only is the power of the fourth level not enough for Baiyue to navigate in the universe, but those people in the celestial realm will always bring various obstacles to his ascension.
Just as he was worshiping the moon and sighing, several meteors suddenly appeared in the sky, passed before his eyes, and scattered across the land of Kyushu.
With his fingers trembling slightly, Bai Yuewei calculated the nearest landing points and walked into the room with his hands behind his back.
The phenomenon of meteors passing by is not only seen by Baiyue. In this world, this kind of astrological phenomenon has special meaning. In other words, sometimes even if it has no meaning, some people will artificially create some meaning out of it.
"Huh~" After Kuroba Kaito recovered from the aftermath of traveling through the world, he pressed down the brim of his hat with his right hand, glanced at the lush forests around him, and scanned a very obvious path on the ground. He formed an initial impression of this world in his mind. It seemed that he had landed in the forest this time, but should not be far from the village.
"Kid?"
When Kuroba Kaito heard someone calling his name, he turned around and met Busujima Saeko's eyes that were filled with curiosity.
"It's really you. I almost thought I recognized the wrong person." Busujima Saeko stood up and said with a smile. The meeting between the two felt like meeting old folks from different places.
"I didn't expect it, it's such a coincidence, it seems we are teammates again this time." Kidd put on his monocle silently, looked at Busujima Saeko and said with a smile, the result and process of helping each other in that mission were quite good, they had a friendship, and no matter what, it was always better to deal with acquaintances, at least they didn't have to introduce themselves anymore.
"Yeah, we are lucky this time. By the way, what is your mission?" Busujima Saeko asked Kidd while waiting for the protective shield to disappear.
So far, the main god space has not issued a few confrontational tasks to qualified people, so it is not an overstep to ask for the task directly. What's more, the two have known each other for a long time.
"Well... it's an exploration mission. The exploration range is quite exaggerated. From here to the capital of Nanzhao, we have to cross most of Nanzhao. What about you?" Kidd glanced at his extremely simple mission map and spoke. He didn't like this kind of mission very much because it took too long.
"Almost, but there is also a side quest of religious investigation." Busujima Saeko replied.
"I have one too. If it's convenient and appropriate on the way, I'll do it. If it's not convenient, I'll just pretend I didn't see it." Kidd did not hide his thoughts. He has never liked religious things and most of the time he stays away from them.
"It's been a long time since we last met. You've become quite calm." Busujima Saeko said with a smile, then pondered for a moment and looked Kid up and down. "By the way, if I remember correctly, you're quite attractive to ghosts, right? This time, your opponent won't be a supernatural being again..."
"Should... maybe... probably, no." Kid touched his nose to avoid Busujima Saeko's scrutinizing gaze, not having any confidence in what he said.
The wilderness, the night, the forest, far away from human habitation, this is basically a haunted environment that has already been created, all it takes is for the actors to be in place.
As the two looked at each other, the protective shield dissipated and the chirping of insects in the forest reached their ears.
Kidd breathed a sigh of relief. Normally, ghosts appear in silence, but the loud sound of insects should mean that everything is normal around here.
Caw, caw, caw~ The cry of crows sounded from the depths of the forest. Kidd trembled all over and felt like he was going to die. It was more like a horror movie.
Busujima Saeko was a little speechless looking at the slightly neurotic Kid. The atmosphere was getting weirder and weirder. It was like watching a horror movie and then going out for an adventure. Her brain was unconsciously imagining things.
However, she is also an old qualified person, and she simply doesn't like supernatural tasks. After all, it's not like she hasn't experienced it before. If she is really afraid, how can she complete the task
"Let's go. Whether there are ghosts or not, standing here and feeding mosquitoes is not a good thing." Busujima Saeko drew out her knife, made a knife flower, and walked in front.
Kidd thought about it and felt that what Busujima Saeko said was right, and he didn't necessarily have the physique to attract ghosts. Among all the missions, there were only two times when there were no ghosts.
The two of them slowly walked along the path on the ground. If nothing went wrong, this road should lead to a nearby village. As long as they reached the village, everything would be clear.
If someone happened to die in the village, or it was some kind of memorial day, then needless to say, it would be the standard beginning of a horror movie. If there was nothing, then maybe I was just worrying too much.
When Busujima Saeko was thinking about all these things, she suddenly heard a sound of breaking air. As a swordsman, she subconsciously slashed out a sword energy towards the place where the sound came from.
The sword energy cut through a trimmed log, which should be a trap.
"Who! Who's there!" After the trap was triggered, a rough voice rang out, along with the sound of hurried footsteps.
Kidd's figure flashed and merged directly into the darkness. Busujima Saeko took a deep breath and looked over there carefully to prevent possible follow-up attacks.
With a crash, the bushes in front of Busujima Saeko were pulled apart, and a huge beetle came out from behind the bushes. A person was sitting on its back, surrounded by a group of glittering bugs.
After seeing Busujima Saeko, the man was stunned for a moment, and got off the Beetle in a panic, "Sorry, sorry, you are not hurt, right? This trap is what I use to train Da Zhuang's reaction."
Busujima Saeko was a little surprised by the other party's attitude. After seeing someone trigger the trap she set, her first reaction was not to question or attack, or even to defend or be alert, but to worry about whether the other party was injured. If the other party was not pretending, according to this inference, this person should live in a relatively safe environment, or he simply has a problem with his brain.
"I'm not hurt. Who are you?" Busujima Saeko adjusted her pace without any intention of relaxing.
"Who am I? This is near my home. I should be the one asking you this question." the other party said.
You guys? Has this guy already discovered Kidd
While Busujima Saeko was thinking, she noticed that the other person's eyes were constantly moving around.
In this case, they must have been able to determine the number of people, but not Kidd's position.
"Sorry, we're a little lost. Also, we're sorry for destroying your trap. Let's go now." Busujima Saeko said as she backed away.
"Hey, hey, hey, there's a forest behind you. There are many evil poisons at night. It's very dangerous." The strong man persuaded, pointing his finger to the side of Busujima Saeko, "You should be Tang people who come here for exchanges. The direction of the town is over there. If you are fast, you will get there in an incense stick of time."
Tang people? Communication? Busujima Saeko first memorized these two words, then ignored the sturdy man's instructions and retreated back to the darkness.
Looking at Busujima Saeko who was so cautious, the sturdy man seemed to feel a little emotional and patted the big horn of the beetle beside him.
"Da Zhuang, the Tang Kingdom is just as scary as the old man said. They made the Tang people so nervous. We are better off here. We won't practice today. Let's go home."
Da Zhuang listened to the strong man's words, twisted his body a few times, and seemed to be in a good mood.
After retreating dozens of meters and finding no one chasing her, Busujima Saeko breathed a sigh of relief. The man with the giant beetle did not give her much pressure. According to her perception, she would be able to defeat the man within three moves.
However, in such an unfamiliar place, taking the initiative to cause trouble is not a good choice. Besides, the other person didn't do anything and was kind enough to help point the way. If you start a fight, wouldn't that be considered ungrateful
Whoosh, Kidd appeared next to Busujima Saeko, "I followed the path that man pointed out, but I didn't see any traps, but I found a big road. He must be telling the truth."
"That's fine. By the way, do you know what Tang people are?" asked Busujima Saeko. The translator in the main god space on her side only translated the literal meaning, but did not translate the underlying meaning.
"Tang people? It should refer to people from a certain area. I just don't know if this Tang is a country or a region." Kidd said after thinking for a while.
"Well, that explains a little. That person must have thought we were Tang people who came here to communicate. If that's the case, do we still need to disguise ourselves?" Busujima Saeko asked.
"I don't think it's necessary. Cross-dressing is just a disguise method that is better than nothing." Kidd shook his head and said, "Besides, since he mistook us for Tang people, it means that at least the clothes you are wearing should not be too unique."
Busujima Saeko looked down at her swordsman outfit, which was quite ancient. Although it might be a bit revealing to ancient people, the style should still be the same. It's just that Kidd's flashy white suit is a bit lame, but it shouldn't matter...
After bumping into an aboriginal, the two changed direction and headed in the direction the other pointed. After walking quickly for a few minutes and a few kilometers, they finally saw the appearance of the town.
However, this town might feel a little strange to Busujima Saeko and the others. There were several large wooden pillars at the entrance of the town. On top of each pillar was a particularly large, strange-looking creature. The light emitted by this creature just illuminated the area at the entrance. It seemed that this should be the electric light they had here.
The two looked at each other tacitly, and drank a potion at the same time. This potion could generate a stratum corneum on the surface of their bodies that would last for twelve hours, a bit like having an extra full-body protective clothing.
After all, it seems that the insect culture here is very developed. Coupled with the hint of the poisonous insects in the mission, it is possible that the people here's attack method is these specially cultivated insects. Then there may be a possibility of being parasitized. It is always a good idea to take precautions first.
"Who's there?!" As the two of them got closer, the guard at the door shouted at them and tightened his weapon.
Facing a whole team of guards, Busujima Saeko and Kidd walked out from the darkness, their empty hands showing that they had no hostility.
"Tang people?" the guard asked tentatively.
Busujima Saeko and the other person nodded.
"Why are you here so late?" the guard asked.
"Something delayed me." Busujima Saeko said casually.
As soon as these words were spoken, the guards' vigilance suddenly increased several levels, and their weapons were pointed at this side. For a moment, Busujima Saeko didn't understand what she had said wrong.
"Are you here to communicate or to cause trouble?" the guard asked.
Kidd seemed to understand something and stood up. "We are definitely not here to cause trouble. I swear to God."
Buzz, Busujima Saeko's ears suddenly caught a vibration sound similar to that of a mobile phone. Her eyes turned and she saw the little bug hidden above the guard's head. Now she understood.
"I promise I'm not here to cause trouble!" Busujima Saeko emphasized again to Kidd.
Buzz~
After another vibration, the guards seemed to believe them, put away their weapons, and made way for them to enter.
As Kidd passed through the wooden pillars, his eyes were constantly looking at the equipment of the guards around him and the bugs with full hidden abilities.
"Please come with me. It's so late and everyone in the town has rested. The hotel is closed, so you two have to stay here for now." The guard said as he led Busujima Saeko and the others to a relatively simple wooden house.
"Okay, thank you for your help."
After the guards left, Busujima Saeko and Kidd put on a pair of glasses in tacit understanding. It was very easy to use this thing to explore the structure of the house and find mechanisms, secret rooms and the like.
After a careful inspection, Busujima Saeko was certain that the house prepared for them by the guards did not have any obvious mechanisms, nor did she see any strange patterns. It was most likely just an ordinary wooden house.
After sending Busujima Saeko and the others there, the guards quickly returned to their posts.
Guard Captain: "Did they deliver it? Did they show any reaction, like refusing to go in, or jumping up and down?"
"No, it was quite normal. I went in directly."
"Really? I thought this kind of Tang people who like to lie would be like those Tang people who came here during the day, as if they were suffering from paranoia."
"Who knows, maybe these Tang people are already used to lying over there?"
"It's really incomprehensible that people are used to lying. What's the point of lying for such a trivial matter? If you don't want to say anything, why not just keep silent?"
"Who knows?"
