Chapter 199 Beneath the calm sea surface... is a surging undercurrent
Chapter 199 Beneath the calm sea surface... is a surging undercurrent
Just when Ji Zi was a little... shaken by what Silver Wolf said, Wu Xuan and Huang Quan returned to the resting place of the "knife-wielding man" safely.
For Wu Xuan, the most terrifying thing is to be caught on the street and then...waste time meaninglessly.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to study the future development path of this world.
Just after Wu Xuan sat down, the task screen that habitually delayed the settlement of his tasks finally popped up the reward.
[Main quest (1/7) "Slay the God" completed]
[Quest Reward: "Scattered Cherry Blossoms" x1]
["Scattered Cherry Blossoms": Used to activate the cherry blossoms that are related to you. They can purify your body and prevent you from going completely crazy.]
Wu Xuan looked at the light screen in front of him and nodded thoughtfully.
"See what this means... There is a high possibility that I will fall into madness in the future, but this item can help me resist it once..." Wu Xuan thought to himself.
Just as Wu Xuan was absorbed in his thoughts, a timid female voice came from behind him.
"Hello... "Li"...?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Xuan subconsciously turned his head and saw a girl with white hair and black and white eyes.
"Um... I'm "Ming"... Ah no no no, it's not polite to say a code name like that..."
"?"
Wu Xuan looked at the somewhat flustered girl in front of him with a face full of question marks, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"Ah...I'm sorry...What I meant to say is...My name is Elle...Please give me your guidance..."
"Wu Xuan, please give me your guidance."
The two exchanged their names and then fell into a long silence.
After a moment's silence, Elule realized that she had no idea what to talk about with Wu Xuan, so she ran away like a flash.
Wu Xuan could only watch her receding back and sigh silently.
"Sure enough...the 'knife-wielding man' is not a normal person."
"Come to think of it... I don't think I'm normal either...?"
Thinking of this, Wu Xuan smiled at himself in self-deprecation, and then turned off the task light screen in front of him.
Before he could stand up from the floor, the light curtain that he had clearly turned off popped up again.
[Main Quest (2/7) "Protecting the World"]
[Mission description: Kill "Oyama Tsuma", "Oki Takami", "Kunashikami", and "Yasabatsu" to forge the last four "World Protection Swords"]
[Task reward: none]
[Mission Penalty: Simulation Ends]
Wu Xuan frowned slightly as he looked at the task in front of him, then he murmured softly, "Four 'Eight Million Gods'... What is this? Consecutive crusades?"
Not only Wu Xuan was confused, Huang Quan who was staying in his room was also a little confused.
She looked at the strange light screen in front of her, and combined with the scene she had just experienced, she had reason to be sure...this was not her dream.
Ever since she embarked on that path, her dreams were no longer dreams, but nightmares.
She could always dream of the shadows of those she had killed with her own hands, and she could always hear their wailing.
Compared to the environment I'm in now...it's so peaceful here.
"There are only four "Eight Million Gods" left... I will meet them one day..."
Thinking of this, Huang Quan couldn't help but look out the window, looking at the somewhat gloomy sky, and whispered softly:
"It's going to rain..."
......
For a long time afterwards, Wu Xuan and several other "knife-wielding men" ran around above Izumo, beheading monsters that ordinary people could hardly match.
Although they are called the "Eight Million Gods", they only know how to kill, which is very different from the gods recorded in the Izumo mythology.
In this situation, the Izumo people shifted their attention from the gods to the "knife-wielding man".
Just like "Frost" and "Lan", they will basically be caught whenever they go out.
"Kong" released two albums secretly, and the true identity of the "knife-wielding man" was later revealed during a press conference.
As for "Shin"... he is like a taciturn person most of the time, but he still takes the responsibility of helping "Shuang" and "Lan" attract firepower.
So...the three of them often travel together.
Although they had lived for nearly four hundred years, a full four Amber Ages, supported by the mantra of the "World-Protecting Sword".
The minds of the people have not been worn down by time because they still have their companions around them.
Their companions...are the best medicine against the wear and tear of time.
Ever since "Ming", also known as Ailuer, and Wu Xuan met, Wu Xuan and Huang Quan would choose to take this poor little girl with them whenever they went out.
Wu Xuan originally thought that this girl, who was perhaps older than himself, had some other intention in coming to see him, but... when he saw the smile on her face while she was eating crepes...
Wu Xuan felt that he was overthinking.
Which Tianshan Child-like Fairy can eat crepe and get cream all over her face (`O′)!
Thus, a small group of "knife-wielding men" was formed.
A group with "truth", "frost" and "mist" as the main contents... open to the public, often appearing in public to show their affection.
Similarly, those artists in the entertainment industry also hate them because "Shuang" and "Lan" can steal their headlines.
"True": The three of us will live happily ever after.jpg
Just kidding, "Shin" is actually the same type as "Sora", and these two have had more or less contact with every "knife-wielding man", so... they don't belong to any particular small group.
Maybe...a taciturn science and engineering guy can also be together with a lively female idol?
"Lie", "Ming" and "Ming" are like a complete family, with a gentle father, Wu Xuan, and a mother with a poor memory but high fighting ability, Huang Quan.
There is also the little daughter who thrives under the protection of the two adults, who is her "life".
During this period of time, Wu Xuan was often surrounded and intercepted by reporters with cameras and long guns, as if it was a kind of... destined life.
He even thought...it would be nice if this kind of life could continue forever.
The current "Eight Million Gods" cannot pose much threat to them, and it is not difficult to kill the four "Eight Million Gods" given by the system task.
"A peaceful life... isn't it nice?"
But on the scale of the entire universe, Izumo is like a rickety boat, now relying on the power of the "Sword Wielder" to survive this storm for the first time.
It's calm now, but that doesn't mean there aren't undercurrents beneath the sponge.
