"Return?" Shi Yuan frowned. "Return from the sea? How is that possible? We can't leave the sea. The ocean current will bring the ship back here again."
"Huh?" Zuo Qie said, "We can't leave this island? Obviously, all the previous ships can go back."
No one can answer this question.
Everyone was new here, and if they didn't know anything, the shogunate wouldn't have sent them here. In other words, they were just cannon fodder looking for clues.
——It can also be said to be high-end cannon fodder.
"Anyway, let's exchange information between the two sides first. First of all, we were attacked by a strange man named Tianxian before." Shi Yuan said slowly.
"Heavenly Immortal?" Zuo Qie looked at Xian Tai. The latter nodded and said, "That monk did tell us to be careful of the so-called Heavenly Immortal."
"Hmm? Did you find the natives of the island?"
"In a sense, it's the other side that contacts us."
Xiantai and Shiyuan had a conversation. One of them was the fourth and the other was the fifth. They didn't communicate much on weekdays, but now they had to communicate with each other.
Shi Yuan nodded to show that he understood, "Let me first talk about the situation on our side."
The death row inmate he was used to seeing was He Yi, codenamed "Man-eating Oiran". He had a good figure and could feel it when he was close to him. He must also be extremely beautiful, otherwise he would not have become an Oiran. But unfortunately, Shi Yuan was a blind man, and He Yi's sharpest weapon - his own body was useless to him.
Then He Yi was killed by him.
The other party has the intention to kill him, shouldn't he strike first? His fighting ability is not as good as Shihe and Shuxian, but compared with Weishan, he is on par.
The only death row prisoner who died on their side was He Yi. The remaining two death row prisoners of the five people were "Mountain Man" Ru Hai, who was guarded by Dianzuo, and "Sword Dragon" Min Gu Yan Tie Zhai, who was guarded by Fu Zhi. The person who had no supervision target like Shiyuan was Tong Ma, who was currently unranked.
After learning the details, Sentai asked, "According to what you said, Shiyuan, what about the death row prisoners Azadomebei and Norizuchito that Kirima is guarding?"
"That's exactly what I'm going to say. We were attacked by a celestial being. They didn't come to kill us, but to capture Yazuo Diaobei." Shi Yuan said. "Dian Zuo was also captured by him."
He didn't want to admit it, but the middle-aged Shi Yuan could sense that it was easy to catch Dianzuo. If Tong Ma was placed in that position, he would also be caught. It was just because Dianzuo was there and his strength was not good enough.
Especially when the opponent showed that kind of fighting power displayed by the black rubber suit on his body, it was indeed very powerful...
Xiantai: "What does a celestial being look like?"
"Just like a perfect human being, there are almost no flaws in his appearance. If I have to say a flaw, it's that he's too perfect and gives people the feeling of a demon."
……
……
The perfect "celestial being".
I think it's a damn fairy.
Yamada Asaemon tried the Ittoryu without rank - Kirima said with disdain in his heart.
He doesn't care about whether she's a fairy or not. So what if she's so pretty? Why did you take my brother away? I'll tear that cheek apart next time!
Kirima joined the Yamada Asaemon family at a rapid pace. His rocket-like promotion speed attracted the attention of the head of the family, which meant that he had an exceptional talent and was quite young. His future was bright, and Wei Shan, the first in command, paid close attention to him.
However... he did not join the Yamada Asaemon family with all his heart. Even though he lived a good life in this family, he had only one purpose.
To rescue my brother——
"The King of Thieves" Yazue Diaobei.
Yes, as the younger brother, Kirima became the "supervisor" of his older brother. It is conceivable that the two of them had only one purpose for going to the island from the beginning, which was to survive no matter what.
He didn't care about the mission, as long as the two brothers were alive. But unfortunately, the celestial being caught his brother, and his life or death was unknown.
As a result, the low pressure has always been around Kirima. So much so that he has less to hide around Shiyuan... In the Yamada Asaemon family, the blind Shiyuan is the only one who doubts him.
Although he is blind, he has such excellent perception. If it was before, Kirima would have used his superb acting skills to perfunctorily deal with it. But now he doesn't care.
So when he looked up, he saw that everyone's attention was on him.
"Kiruma, can you tell me now what the relationship between you and Yaza Toubei is?" Shiyuan didn't know when he ended the conversation with Sentai and looked at Shiyuan.
The doubts he had in the dojo in the past took root after he came to the island. As a blind man, Shiyuan has extraordinary observation ability, and he can see details that ordinary people cannot observe.
Kirima looked up and knew he couldn't hide it, so he said, "He's my brother, what? Are you going to kill me?"
Shi Yuan shook his head: "The current situation is special, your matter will be resolved in the future. What I want to tell you is... if Yazue Diaobei is not dead, then we can rescue him."
Now, we must unite all the forces that can be united.
Because his disciple Dian Zuo was also arrested.
Chapter 704: Dialogue Inside and Outside
The conflict was suppressed before it even emerged.
Disputes will disappear under greater conflicts. People always have so much attention. If you focus on one thing, you will have no time to pay attention to other things.
After discussing, they decided on their common enemy, "Tensen". As they were colleagues, Yamada Asaemon and his companions naturally wanted to fight against Tensen. As for the remaining prisoners, each had his own thoughts.
The communication went smoothly, and Xian Tai also got another intelligence agent that he had been thinking about. That celestial being seemed to be a chatterbox and revealed a lot of information.
After comparing them one by one, Xian Tai determined that most of the information the monk said was correct. This inference was confirmed.
——Of course, there is also the possibility that the immortals and monks work together to act. The rigorous immortals will not overestimate the human mind. For some individuals, the moral bottom line is no bottom line.
This possibility was suppressed in my mind, and I had no intention of speaking it out. That was meaningless, so I would not mention it for now. The fighting power of the celestial beings was extraordinary, and at the same time, I knew from the other party that the celestial beings were not individuals, but a group. This was completely overwhelming strength.
With such force, why bother to deceive yourself and others? There is absolutely no reason...
"Saving people is important, but more importantly, how do we leave the island?" Gang said. "I want to go back alive."
"We still lack information." Xian Tai said, "Senior Shi Yuan, what do you think?"
"Maybe when we rescued people we knew the way out." Shi Yuan said, "Will the Hachiman God you mentioned appear again?"
Then he added, "Don't tell me, I've already seen him."
As a blind person, if you want to become a samurai, you have to make efforts that ordinary people can hardly imagine.
Because it can't be seen.
Only after losing your eyes do you realize how important vision is. As a warrior, if you can't even see the enemy clearly, how can you swing your weapon?
So, we need to see. It doesn’t matter if we use our ears as eyes or our nose as eyes. In short, we need to have a pair of “eyes”.
Shi Yuan has a pair of "eyes" that can see something hidden in everything, which Shu Xian calls "the wave of life." So, he saw the eleventh wave.
That wave was very strange, different from that of an ordinary person, and also different from that of a celestial being. Perhaps, that was the monk that Xiantai mentioned.
Sentai finally responded, "Yes, Hachiman Great Bodhisattva is here."
Among the ten people present, there was one more person who could see Hachiman Great Bodhisattva.
……
……
Today's Hachiman Bodhisattva looks no different from yesterday. But inside, the boy named Hikigaya Hachiman seems much more reserved. It's like when the teacher stands behind you and looks at your paper during an exam.
The reason was simple: there was indeed someone standing behind him.
Three pairs of bright eyes were watching him from behind, looking at the same scene as him.
This brings us to the question of how the so-called Hachiman Great Bodhisattva was created!
Outside, the Hachiman Bodhisattva who was confronting the Yamada Asaemon family was not Hikigaya Hachiman's real body, but something similar to a long-distance projection, a bit like wearing a game helmet and controlling the game character. However, if it is a real game, it is different from the virtual helmet in the novel. The virtual helmet is AR technology, so it is probably AR that is used now.
First of all, we have to mention a major premise. The person who made this set of equipment was Li Mo. It took less than half a day, and it took several hours from conception to completion.
What a terrible speed.
If possible, Hikigaya Hachiman would not want such a terrible speed. This means that Li Mo can easily modify this device, for example, let a group of other people stand up and share the vision without affecting himself.
"Hachiman, say something. Haven't we met already?" Yuigahama Yui shared the vision from "Hachiman Great Bodhisattva" and saw those people.
Having seen these characters in comics, it was a completely different feeling to see them in real life. Especially since my "good friends" were about to interact with them, I was filled with excitement.
Looking forward to the next development.
Yukinoshita: "Hikigaya, don't be stressed."
Li Mo smiled and said, "Yes, just pretend we don't exist!"
How can I treat you as if you don't exist? You are right next to me!
Hikigaya Hachiman was silent for a moment, then took out the script and controlled Hachiman the Great Bodhisattva synchronously.
"Let's not talk about the Kitchen God for now. Have you dealt with the Door God as well? It seems that you are different from those who came before. If it's you, there is hope."
"How about leaving? If you want to leave, you can leave through the waterway of Penglai. Of course, if you can kill the sea monster hiding under the sea, you can also leave this island."
"The middle-aged man I was concerned about earlier could have left the island, but unfortunately... he was noticed by it the moment he arrived on the island. I didn't have time to protect him. He should be in Penglai now, just like the little giant."
"Who is he? He is a demon. Of course, he was once a god, but he degenerated into a demon. Of course, that is a very distant thing. The point now is that even with the seal, his influence has spread throughout the island. It will be difficult for you to leave."
"Are you interested in that middle-aged man's appearance?" Hikigaya Hachiman glanced at Li Mo.
This is not written in the script.
Yes, all of Hikigaya's answers were scripted, with answers to various questions. However, this answer didn't hit the mark.
Of course, Li didn't write the answer there, but he easily described what Shihe looked like. This depends on Hikigaya Hachiman's ability to express himself. In fact, he is quite good at this.
"The Dunjia do these things properly." Yuigahama Yui said: "I am very curious about what is written in the script and why the Dunjia reacts so quickly."
"A document with built-in search function. Just like using it on a computer." Li Mo explained.
"But that's paper." Yuigahama Yui said, "Is this also magic?"
"Yes, that's magic, that's mystery."
Hikigaya Hachiman ignored the people around him and focused on his role. If he was just a boring script-reading machine before, he became active now.
The main thing is that he has to observe ten people at a time, so naturally he has to pay attention.
Observe and speculate. This is exactly what he used to do most often. He seemed to be able to sense what the other person was thinking. Reading people's minds was what he was good at.
When the information was explained, Hikigaya Hachiman told them what happened on the island.
It was nothing more than the demons sealed in the magic circle revealed their power, infecting the immortals who stayed behind, and turning this place into a land of demons.
The other party seemed to accept this statement, and Shi Yuan showed a thoughtful expression.
Hikigaya Hachiman was silent, and when he thought it was time to end it, he heard the blind man ask, "If you are Hachiman, why can't you destroy that demon?"
