Chapter 37 [013] This child is left to you to raise
"Don't underestimate me!" Xiaoxia suddenly pointed at Fengjian, "I'm not the previous Miyamoto Xiaoxia, I'm stronger! Fufufu~ Mrs. Watanabe bought a "superpower tank" on the black market, and I found an unused one in the corner!"
As he spoke, Xiao Xia took out a white thermos-like jar from behind him. The red line on it was no longer glowing, indicating that it had been used.
"Ding ding ding! Now let me introduce to you the leader of the Falling Cherry Blossom Team, the reborn Miyamoto Konatsu! From today on, I am also a mutant!"
Xiao Xia threw the supernatural jar on the tatami. Because it had been used, the weight of the jar was only half of its original weight.
"Now I will show Kazama my superb ability - Ninja Technique: Phantom Substitution Technique!"
Xiaoxia crossed her fingers and clenched her hands in front of her body, leaving only her two index fingers standing at the height of her nose tip. This is a common ninjutsu release posture in anime.
With a "swoosh", Xiao Xia's body turned into an afterimage in Fengjian's eyes. Half a second later, the afterimage disappeared, and a quilt collapsed where Xiao Xia had originally stood.
"Hahaha! Isn't that awesome? You must be shocked!" Xiao Xia opened the door of the closet from the inside and jumped out triumphantly - the quilt was originally placed in the closet.
Kazama: "Did you use the "Substitution Technique" to swap positions with the quilt in the closet? Even if you have to call out the name of the move because of the side effects of the energy tank, the previous "Ninjutsu" is redundant, right?"
"I do!" Xiao Xia was very dissatisfied with Feng Jian's bland reaction, "I added the ninja hand gestures myself. If I wasn't afraid of wasting time, I would have added a whole set of hand seals!"
Feng Jian sighed: "Miss, you are really an idiot. Don't you know that the failure rate of the energy tank is very high? Five of Mrs. Watanabe's men turned into Furui people after using it, and one person exploded and died?"
"Huh? Is that true?" Xiao Xia opened her mouth in fear and stuffed all five of her fingers into her mouth.
Kazama: "If the energy tank is such a good thing, why do you think this one is left? You used it without considering the consequences. You are such a lucky idiot."
Kazama looked down at the recorder in his hand and began to search for more information about the "Phantom Substitution Technique". Lines of Chinese characters appeared on the e-reader-style screen.
"Supernatural power: within a distance of 10 meters, it can instantly swap the position of an object with itself, leaving an afterimage for 0.5 seconds."
"Mind Binding: The object must be inanimate. The object must have just been seen. The object must be of a weight and size that can be moved by one's own power."
"Note: There is no cooldown time for this skill, but it consumes stamina every time it is used, which is roughly the same as the stamina consumed by carrying the Stand normally. If there is an obstacle between you and the Stand, the consumption will be doubled."
Xiao Xia tilted her head curiously to peek over. The end of the red-haired girl's ponytail was hanging on Fengjian's treasure recorder.
"By the way, Fengjian, what network do you use for this recorder? It can't be the company network, right? If it's just a notebook that's not connected to the Internet, how can you always find so much information..."
Kazama roughly pushed Koxia's face away, and the loli retainer's palm pressed down, causing the head of the family, Koxia's, cheeks to be comically deformed.
"This is a secret. If you know it, you will be killed. I will kill you."
Xiao Xia covered her face and stood aside.
Kazama, the staff officer of the Falling Cherry Group, was apparently incapable of fighting. When Mrs. Watanabe rebelled, she was tied to a pillar without any resistance.
However, Xiao Xia had no doubt that the other party was capable of killing her. Just the ideas she came up with for telling dirty jokes already possessed the qualities of assassination with a very high success rate.
Kazama's calm and composed personality is also hard to understand...and there's no need for Kazama to assassinate me. If she just stops giving me advice, I'll be killed by someone else!
※※※
At about the same time, Qin Jiandan also learned more information about the supernatural jar from Doctor Li.
"So, a total of 10 of Mrs. Watanabe's men used the Chameleon Energy Tank, 5 of them turned into orcs, and one exploded and died. Only 4 of them succeeded?"
Those four people should be the ones who shot at me with submachine guns. Later, they were killed by the policewoman's high-explosive bullets.
Doctor Li finally finished his self-created arm exercises: "The information I have collected so far is that a person can use at most 3 blue cans and 1 red can. The man under Mrs. Watanabe who exploded was greedy and wanted to use two supernatural cans, which is why he died so unconventionally."
Qin Jiandan heard the customers at the fried chicken shop discuss that if more than three blue cans are used, they will definitely get a fever and become sick, and then randomly forget one of their previous skills (which is covered by the new skills). The punishment for the red cans seems to be even heavier, and they will explode and die directly.
“Zizzizi—zizizi”
Suddenly, a drone flew over the alley and made an unclear voice above Qin Jiandan's head.
Qin Jiandan's first reaction was: Linlin hacked into the drone and wanted to talk to her, but the voice system was malfunctioning.
The company's drones have built-in firewalls, and sometimes they will burn their voice modules to prevent hackers from using them to make remote calls.
The drone looked very anxious. It stopped making sounds and started dancing the "figure 8 dance" similar to that of a bee above Qin Jiandan's head.
Eh? Linlin wants to write in the sky to inform me of something? I don’t understand… I’ll call the Falling Cherry Blossom Group later and ask Linlin what’s going on…
"Young Master! Welcome to our Falling Cherry Blossom Group's territory!"
Speak of the devil, and he will appear. Miyamoto Konatsu ran all the way from the castle tower to Sakura-dori Street at the speed of a 100-meter sprint. She was very confident in her physical strength, after all, without physical strength, she couldn't even run away.
Xiao Xia looked up at Qin Jiandan with the attitude of a smiling little girl, her eyes full of flattery and expectation.
Qin Jiandan suddenly felt a sinking sensation in his stomach, and he felt a different urge than usual, an urgent urge to go to the "place where the five grains are reincarnated".
I understand! Linlin put laxatives in the beer with the warning on it! She regretted it so she wanted to use the drone to inform me! I only know the steel armor breathing method but not the anal armor breathing method. I have to find a place to solve this abdominal churning! Qin Jiandan, who had come to his senses, quickly handed the baby basket to Dr. Li to take care of it, and left the alley, looking around for a toilet.
Xiao Xia, who had nothing but the young master in her eyes, followed closely.
"Young Master, what are you looking for? If you need anything, just tell me directly. After all, I am the boss of this area!"
Some people on the street recognized Miyamoto Konatsu, but judging from their reactions, although they would greet her when passing by, they might not have much respect for this team leader in private.
Xiao Xia remembered what Feng Jian said, "Be more proactive," so she hugged one of Qin Jiandan's arms with both hands and rubbed it against her chest desperately.
"Young Master, come to the castle tower and have a cup of tea! It's so tiring to stand on the street... Hey, hey, hey, young master, why are you so rude..."
Qin Jiandan was in a hurry to go to the toilet, and didn't want to embarrass himself in front of his subordinates, so he didn't say it clearly, but just shook off Xiao Xia's chest and stuck to her, then waved his hand and said, "I have something urgent to do, I'll leave first."
"Young Master, why are you leaving right after meeting me? What's the hurry?"
Xiao Xia felt very aggrieved. Countless people on the street saw her being dumped by a man. Some girls even laughed at her from afar. Xiao Xia was so angry that she stomped her feet.
Qin Jiandan was busy solving the physiological problems in his stomach, and his figure disappeared in a store with a pink sign.
As soon as I arrived at the lobby, the heavily made-up mama-san came to greet me.
"Hey, isn't this Young Master Qin from the Night Dragon Society? Welcome, welcome!"
Qin Jiandan looked unhappy: "I'm going to find the toilet."
Mama-san laughed and said, "How can you call the girls 'toilet'? Although we do this, the girls will be embarrassed if you say that, hahaha!"
Qin Jiandan had beads of sweat on his forehead: "I want a real toilet!"
Seeing Qin Jiandan's fierce eyes as if he was about to kill someone, Mama-san quickly pointed to the second floor.
Qin Jiandan entered the pink-signed store and did not come out for a long time. Xiao Xia wanted to destroy the store, but felt that it was not in line with his position as a team leader.
"Damn it! If you have physiological needs, why don't you just come to me to solve them? Do you look down on me as the team leader by coming to the Falling Cherry Blossom Team's store to solve them?"
Xiao Xia wanted to shout all these words out loud in the street, but when she looked up, she found that Doctor Li from the Yelong Society was approaching her.
"Here, the young master wants to hand this child over to the Falling Cherry Blossom Group."
"Child? What child?" Xiao Xia discovered for the first time that there was a sleeping baby lying in the bamboo basket.
"What child was it..." Doctor Li rubbed his temple with his fingers. Because he was always thinking about medical research, he would forget some daily conversations and even familiar names.
"The young master said that this is... the child of his lover in the inner city. Since there is no one to take care of him in the inner city, the young master asked me to give him to you to raise. Is that okay?"
Xiao Xia took the baby basket blankly, with an expression on her face as if she had just been punched.
"The child of the young master and his lover in the inner city...isn't it the policewoman? Why do I have to raise it for them?"
Doctor Li was very irresponsible in delivering the message. He made it unclear and soon returned to the crossroads to recruit volunteers.
When Xiao Xia came to her senses, Doctor Li had already left. Xiao Xia felt weak all over, her knees went weak, and she knelt in the middle of the street holding the bamboo basket.
People were coming and going on the street. Those who knew Xiao Xia knew that she was the leader of the Luoying Group, while those who didn't know her thought she was an orphan and a widow who had been abandoned by her man.
The more Xiao Xia thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Big tears finally fell down her cheeks.
"Wow, wow, wow~ I've been treated as a substitute for raising a child! I didn't expect the young master to be so heartless. He said he wanted to marry me!"
Many tears fell into the bamboo basket. The baby was drenched by the tears, but instead of crying, he opened his eyes curiously and looked up.
Xiao Xia hugged the bamboo basket tighter.
"Wow, wow, wow~ Poor child! You were abandoned by your parents too! Just like me! Don't learn from them. When you grow up, you must not become such a heartless and ungrateful person!"
Mama-san saw Xiaoxia crying in the street through the window and couldn't help but mutter to herself:
"That's too undignified. If Feng Jian hadn't been willing to be her advisor, how could she have become the leader of the Falling Cherry Blossom Group? With this kind of ability to withstand pressure, even if she wants to work in my store, I have to think carefully!"
Mama-san took out a camera and took pictures outside the window.
"Kazama would pay a high price to buy Xiaoxia's embarrassing photos. I don't know what they are used for. I heard that they have accumulated a very thick album..."
