Chapter 1321 - 1287: Ian’s Shocking Speculation
Xinying (text message):
"Tokyo’s Dajisi Temple."
Haozi (text message):
"Feng boss, I need to tell you something, don’t get upset. Not sure why, but these past two days Feng Madam seems a bit off. Hopefully, it’s just me overthinking."
Shaojie (text message):
"I sent you a live location. As soon as Feng boss arrives, just go to the location directly."
...
In a corner of Tokyo International Airport, Lin Yi receives one message after another on his calm phone.
Finally, Lin Yi opened the live location sent by Guo Shaojie, and then a small red dot appeared on the phone map, blinking within a building surrounded by mountains.
Next to the building, in Chinese, it reads: Tokyo’s Dajisi Temple.
According to the map display, the drive from here to there takes over half an hour.
But if it were Lin Yi.
This time could shorten to less than 10 minutes.
For some reason.
When Lin Yi stepped onto the island country of the He Clan, he felt a subtle unease within.
But Lin Yi couldn’t identify the source of this unease.
Otherwise, Lin Yi wouldn’t have said those words to Mu Wanqing when leaving earlier.
The Jade Qilin Ian suddenly popped out a fist-sized head from the left pocket of Lin Yi’s coat and said:
"Why is there a Demon Race aura here?"
"What?!"
Lin Yi was instantly shocked and said:
"You can’t be mistaken, right?"
"How could there be Demon Race here."
Though Lin Yi was questioning, he already believed the Jade Qilin’s words deep down.
Because the Jade Qilin is extremely sensitive to aura.
It can detect even the subtle aura in the air that Lin Yi cannot perceive.
Sure enough, the Jade Qilin’s eye roll at Lin Yi’s doubt said:
"No mistake."
"Ever since landing off the plane, the aura has been appearing."
Then the Jade Qilin expressed its suspicion:
"It’s just weird."
"This aura seems only to exist on this small island."
"It feels like there’s some barrier around this island sealing the aura inside."
Then the White Tiger poked its head out from another pocket, with hands resting on the edge, agreeing:
"It’s just that he’s quite weak right now."
"I guess he’s afraid of being detected, so he created this barrier for self-protection."
"If not for insufficient strength, maybe we wouldn’t be able to detect his presence now."
While Lin Yi was bewildered by this news, the Jade Qilin Ian suddenly dropped a bombshell:
"Also, this person is known to the little master."
Lin Yi’s heart shook violently:
"I know?!"
"Who!"
Lin Yi has killed countless Demon Race members on the battlefield, but when it comes to those Lin Yi knows.
Obviously, it can’t be those small fry Demon Race members from the battlefield.
From the remaining Demon Race members, only the Demon King Saimael and the mysterious Samson are those Lin Yi has interacted with the most.
Listening to the Jade Qilin’s words now, Lin Yi already had a vague guess.
And the Jade Qilin Ian’s next words only verified Lin Yi’s suspicion:
"It’s Yamada Miki of the He Clan, or rather the Demon Race possessing him."
Lin Yi blurted out:
"Samson!"
The Jade Qilin’s eyes gleamed brightly:
"Yes, it’s him!"
This time, Lin Yi was completely unsettled.
It seems since Lin Yi’s reincarnation.
Everything in this world has changed drastically under the fluttering wings of this butterfly named Lin Yi.
The appearance of superpower users was dealt with.
Yet now a Demon Race member jumps out too!!!
The last lifetime "Glory of the Gods" ran for three years, and Lin Yi never heard of superpower users or Demon Race appearing in reality.
Maybe it’s just Lin Yi wasn’t high-ranking enough in the previous life, so he didn’t know yet.
Just like now.
Although Lin Yi has encountered several superpower users so far, for most ordinary people, they don’t feel any major changes around them.
They might not know yet.
The world is quietly undergoing a huge transformation.
But these changes haven’t affected the ordinary person’s life for now.
But no matter the reason.
Lin Yi must hurry to unite with Zhang Xinying and the others.
Even if Lin Yi knows that among Zhang Xinying’s group, some ’odd ones’ exist.
When Lin Yi learned about the source of the aura, being Samson, he immediately felt an epiphany.
No wonder after that Sapporo City battle, both Samson and Yamada Miki vanished without a trace from public view.
Even Yamada Miki, the top of the He Clan, disappeared overnight from all major rankings without a trace.
As if he never existed from the start.
Originally, Lin Yi thought Samson was injured by the Elda Sword Saint and should have retreated with Yamada Miki’s body back to the Abyss where the Demon Race resides.
Yet Lin Yi couldn’t have imagined.
He actually hid in this world where Lin Yi resides.
Thinking about it, Lin Yi instantly realized who drew out one of Dongfang Jing’s souls.
Earlier, Dongfang Jing left Lin Yi a message saying he returned home to handle personal matters.
Why Dongfang Jing appeared here and was injured can only be known once Dongfang Jing wakes up.
Now the crucial point is to retrieve Dongfang Jing’s soul.
It’s fortunate to encounter an ’odd one’ like Dongfang Jing, as most would become a dummy with a soul missing.
No way they’d escape back home or find their family.
Lin Yi was organizing in his mind the information gained, while using Instant Teleportation, swiftly moving towards Zhang Xinying and the others’ location.
...
...
Meanwhile
Outside Tokyo’s Dajisi Temple, Zhang Xinying and others were bewildered, looking at a sickly Mari Kyoko.
Especially Zhan Tianpeng, even harboring hostility towards Mari Kyoko.
He couldn’t comprehend Mari Kyoko’s recent attack on Ouyang Hao.
If he guessed right.
What happened here was likely caused by this woman.
Logically speaking.
Ouyang Hao should have been rescuing her indirectly just now.
But she turns on Ouyang Hao instead?
At this moment, Chiba Yuichi couldn’t care less.
He seemed to cling to a life-saving straw, scrambling beside Mari Kyoko, pleading:
"Please help me, Miss Kyoko, for Yamada’s sake."
"I’m a trusted subordinate of Mr. Yamada."
However, Mari Kyoko didn’t even glance at the old man she just saved from Ouyang Hao’s grasp. Instead, she raised her head, explaining to Zhang Xinying and the others:
"I saved him because there’s a special mark on him."
"If he dies here, it would immediately alert the people behind him."
Finally.
Mari Kyoko moved away from the maid and, shaking, looked towards Zhang Xinying behind the crowd:
"You all are still not his match."
