Chapter 398 Apple
Wu Daoming opened his eyes.
What I saw was a ceiling that was not white.
He was stunned for a moment, then he sat up on the bed, holding his aching head, and looked around in confusion, and found that this was not his own room.
Mitsumi Wudao recalled and remembered that he met the strange dragon fruit armored knight at that time.
So now this is...
He suddenly thought of something and subconsciously looked for the Zhan Ji Driver, but he had nothing on him since he was wearing pajamas.
Wu Daoguang got out of bed in a hurry and took a quick look. He saw a piece of letter paper on the bedside table. He hurried forward and picked it up.
——[You are no longer needed in the affairs of Zemei City. Don't worry, I will handle everything that comes my way. Before everything is over, just take care of your studies. In the future, you can still return to the World Tree Foundation and become my right-hand man.]
This is the handwriting of his brother, Takatora Wudao.
Mitsumi Wudao didn't understand what was happening.
The identity of "Ryugen" was taken away, and he could no longer stay in Sawame City or continue to dance hip-hop.
As this awareness gradually became clear, Wu Daoguang began to tremble uncontrollably, and his face, which had originally seemed somewhat well-behaved, began to become hideous and out of control.
"hateful--"
He slammed his fist on the counter, then swept everything on it to the floor as if to vent his anger.
The realization that there was no way to overcome the gap called "brother" in front of him made Mitsumasa Wudao feel desperate and angry.
His previous rebellious behaviors such as lying, skipping classes, joining a street dance group, and playing alien games in order to resist the arranged life...all seemed to become extremely ridiculous at this moment.
"In this case……"
Wu Daoguang slowly lowered his head. The boredom and confusion about the future in his heart made him feel aggrieved, and he couldn't help choking up.
"I have nothing left..."
I can’t win by fighting, I can’t win by arguing, and my brother thinks that doing something for myself is an “unnecessary life”.
He had nothing left that belonged to him.
After sobbing on the bedside table for a while, Mitsumasa Wudao's mind flashed the ruins that his brother took him to see in the underworld forest of Helheim, and he recalled what his brother said at that time.
If he was willing to give up the identity of "Long Xuan" at that time, would he at least be able to stay in Sawame City?
But if he really made that choice, it would seem to be no different from now, still imitating his brother and following behind him like a shadow.
only……
In that case, he would have the opportunity to join [World Tree], the group that developed the Sengoku Drive.
Maybe he could also gain power from it?
Thinking about these things, Wu Dao Guang Shi slowly raised his head, and a dim light flowed in the depths of his still somewhat moist eyes.
He stood up suddenly, no longer immersed in the hopelessness of the life he had chosen, picked out a formal suit from the bedroom closet, put it on, and walked out of the room.
Since his brother had forcibly sent him here, he should have arranged someone to monitor him. He only needed to get that person's help to return to Sawame City.
As if he was about to enter a battlefield, Mitsumasa Wudao took a deep breath and walked down the stairs of the villa with the determination to win.
However, when he arrived at the hall, he saw a familiar-looking girl sitting at the tea table by the window.
Wu Daoguang's brain was suddenly stuck.
"Wu... Little Sister Wu?"
……
In her mind, Mai Takashi recalled the conversation she had with the man before leaving Sawame City.
"Why do we have to leave Sawame City? Will anything change after we leave here?"
Sawame City is her hometown and the place where she has lived since she was a child. Here are her relatives, friends and many people she cannot let go.
She didn't want to leave this place full of memories.
Even if there is no choice, what's the reason?
——"Because Sawame City is about to become a battlefield for the knights to duel. If you stay here, you will disturb their game."
--"???I?"
——"From the moment they received the lock seeds and became 'knights', the divergence of fate had already chosen them. Kuzuya Kota, Kimon Kaito, and Kurejima Mitsushi, they must continue to fight as 'knights' until they become the winners of this war."
——"…What do you mean? What will happen to everyone?"
——"Of course the loser dies."
——"How can this be! This was just a game at first, why did it turn into a war..."
——"So, if you want to change their fate, leave Sawame City as soon as possible."
——"Why does it have anything to do with me?"
——"I don't know, but if 'you' don't want to leave, 'future you' will come out to stop me. You should have seen her already."
……
Gao Simai had indeed seen "her".
The girl's eyes were filled with unspeakable sadness, and even when she thought back on it, Gao Siwu still felt depressed.
The "forest" full of locked seeds will turn humans into monsters. The so-called "Foreigner Game" is just an indulgence before the destruction of the world. After becoming an armored knight, you must fight to the end - until you dye the world into your own color.
All these sudden changes made Gao Siwu feel difficult to adapt, and sometimes she even thought that escape might be better.
But she couldn't let go of what happened in Sawame City.
So at this moment...
What is Kota doing?
Will you be worried because you can't find her?
"Sister Xiaowu?!"
A voice not far away brought Gao Siwu back to her senses. She turned her head and saw the stunned Wu Dao Guang Shi. She immediately stood up and asked with concern: "Guang Shi, you are awake, are you feeling unwell?"
"I'm fine! But Sister Xiaowu, why are you here..." Wu Daoguang hurried forward.
"Ah... This is a long story, and I don't really understand the details." Gao Siwu sighed in distress.
"Did my brother do this?"
Wu Daoguang had already thought of the culprit and clenched his fists in anger.
Hearing this, Gao Siwu also remembered the other person standing next to her at that time. However, compared to the man who seemed a bit disrespectful, the man in a suit looked much more stable.
Gao Siwu immediately comforted him: "Don't worry, Mr. Guihu didn't make things difficult for me, and he asked me to take care of you during this period of time. Except for not being able to leave Tokyo, we can also go to other places to play!"
Wu Daoguang was startled: "..."
Ah? So the person monitoring you is Xiao Wu?
……
……
Sawaya City.
After Kuzuya Hirotaka finally escaped from the Underworld Forest of Heim during Zangetsu's pursuit, he couldn't find Kouji Mai.
It was normal that he couldn't find Mitsumi Wudao, after all, he was taken away by Kawahara in front of him.
But what about Koji Mai? !
"Xiao Wu left after seeing you fighting in the central square yesterday. Has she never returned?" Other members of the Gaimu Street Dance Troupe said worriedly.
Yesterday's battle...
Could it be that Gao Siwu was found by the other party and locked up in the confinement room of the World Tree Foundation?
It’s no wonder that Kuzuya Hirotaka thought so. After all, this was how he was locked up after he was taken away yesterday, although he still doesn’t understand why Kawahara locked him up.
But should Gao Siwu, a girl, also be imprisoned?
"shit!"
So, Kuzuya Kota, who had just returned to the base and had not had a rest for a while, ran out again and headed directly to the World Tree Tower not far away, even though this might very well be a trap.
However, as soon as he went out, he ran into Qi Wen Jie Dou.
"Quit fighting?!"
"I was looking for you!"
Qi Wen Jie Dou said with a grim look on his face.
After the battle yesterday, Qu Wen Jie Dou, who was lying unconscious on the ground, was awakened by a worker. When he woke up, he found that all his equipment was gone!
"I see... Kaito, your belt was also taken away by him." Kuzuya Kota murmured thoughtfully.
Hearing this, Qu Wen Jie Dou's eyes narrowed, and he looked him up and down with sharp eyes: "So, your Zhan Ji Driver and Ding Lock Seed were also taken away?"
Kuzuya Kota took out the belt and said, "That's right, but I took it back later!"
Qiwen Jiedou's face suddenly became expressionless: "Oh, but my Zhan Ji Driver should not have been taken by that person."
Because after defeating him, that person took Gao Siwu away without even looking back, and didn't even look at him twice.
Thinking of this, Qiwen Jiedou looked at Kuzuye Kota and said, "I don't want to owe you [Gaimu] a favor. Wu helped me at that time, and I did my best, so I came here to tell you about this."
After saying this, he turned around and left without waiting for Kuzuya Kota's reaction.
Ge Yehong was too stunned to react, and hurriedly chased after him and grabbed him: "Wait! Jiedou, I may know where Wu was taken, can you help me?"
Qi Wen Jie Dou frowned and turned to look at him again.
"Mai should have been taken to the World Tree Foundation, and Mitsumi was also taken away. I want to go back and save them!" Kuzuya Hirotaka looked at him pleadingly.
"world Tree?"
Qiwen Jiedou glanced at the World Tree Tower not far away thoughtfully, then looked at him expressionlessly: "I don't have the Zhan Ji Driver on me now."
"Then let's go to the dessert shop to find the [Lock Seed Merchant] first!" Ge Ye Hongtai said hurriedly.
"I've been there, but the merchant didn't show up, and the store manager also said he hasn't been here for several days." Qu Wen Jie Dou said calmly.
"how so……"
Kuzuya Hirotaka was stunned.
Even if they could enter the Underworld Forest of Helm and freely obtain the Lock Seeds, they would need a Battle Driver to become an Armored Knight, and currently the only one who could sell belts was the mysterious "Lock Seed Merchant."
Without the other party's channels, they would have no way of getting the Zhan Ji Driver from the World Tree Consortium.
Is this the end of their rope?
Kuzuya Hirotaka pursed his lips and lowered his head.
Just when he was thinking about breaking into the World Tree Tower alone, Qiwen Jiedou pushed away his arm, looking a little impatient.
"But there's no need to look for a lock dealer. I roughly guessed where my Battle Driver would be, and I'm going to get it back now."
"What?!" Ge Yehong looked up in surprise.
Qu Wen Jie Dou left without saying anything. After thinking about it, Ge Yehongtai followed him.
……
……
Heim underworld forest.
Kawahara didn't continue to pile up lock seeds in the office, but went straight to the forest, picked one, looked at it, and then threw it away on the spot.
Anyway, after the fruit becomes a lock seed, the foreigners living here can still eat it as food to fill their stomachs. The only difference may be that the taste is slightly harsh on the teeth.
After Wu Daoguihu came over through the "crack" on the World Tree, he saw a circle of lock seeds scattered under his feet, and not far away there was a randomly refreshed small alien picking up the lock seeds on the ground to eat.
Swah——
When Takatora Wudao saw the "foreigner", he reflexively took out the melon lock seeds.
Kawahara, who was picking fruits, said without turning his head: "Those are the transformations of humans on this earth, don't worry about it."
Wu Daoguihu: "..."
He was a little stunned when he heard this, and after looking at the foreigners who had no reaction to their presence, he put away the melon lock and walked forward.
"The person I arranged in Tokyo sent me news that Mitsumi has woken up, and he currently shows no signs of coming back," said Takatora Wudao.
"That's good. Your next opponents will be Kuzunoya Kota and Kimon Kaito." Kawahara said.
"Drive away the patterns and stop fighting?" Wu Dao Gui Hu frowned.
"Don't underestimate him. That kid's determination is hard to defeat. He is as tough an opponent as Kuzuya Kota. It should even be said that Kuzuya Kota is easier to defeat than him."
"Kuzouye is a very good opponent."
Wu Daoguihu suddenly said this.
Kawahara glanced at him.
——Is it only after you two met twice that you began to appreciate each other?
Wu Daoguihu then looked at the ground and said, "Why do you want to transform so many fixed-lock seeds? After the battle, these things should not be needed, right?"
He no longer plans to mass-produce the drive.
Naturally, there is no need for a fixed-lock seed.
Kawahara said incredulously: "I don't want to either, but there is not a single apple in this entire forest. Isn't that too strange?"
Are apples a rare variety?
Wu Daoguihu thought for a moment: "Apple locks the seeds..."
Before he finished speaking, Kawahara suddenly turned his head and looked towards a certain place in the forest. His usually calm expression became a little sharp at this moment.
"What's wrong?" Wu Daoguihu was stunned.
"Another troublesome crack has opened up, and the fruits are growing directly outside."
Kawahara said this calmly, threw down the transformed lock seed in his hand and walked over there. The small alien not far away picked up and ate it along the way.
Takatora Wudao looked at his back, then looked at the alien who obviously no longer had human thinking.
Is this... human?
He naturally knew that humans would become aliens, and perhaps those who were invaded were innocent, but now such "aliens" would only affect the safety of more humans in the world.
They have no way to become human again, so the only way out is to destroy them!
Even though this is also a sin, Takatora Wudao decided to bear it a long time ago, and he does not regret this choice.
"Come and see, it's Gaim fighting~"
Kawahara's shout suddenly came from the depths of the forest.
Wu Daoguihu paused when he heard this, and hurried towards the direction where the voice came from. He saw Kawahara leaning against a crack and looking at the scene on the opposite side with great interest.
When he got closer, he saw a young man on the other side of the crack pulling a fruit from the vines that were climbing all over the racks, and he opened his mouth to bite it!
Wu Daoguihu: “!!!”
