“Dispersing Divine Water, how could there be Dispersing Divine Water here?” Sitting on Jiang Wen's shoulder, Bai Jing was full of doubts. She naturally knew what was up with Dispersing Divine Water, and her benefactor hated this stuff immensely.
Back then, the reason for chasing and killing Chi Yao for thousands of miles was to destroy the source of Dispersing Divine Water's production.
But with Chi Yao dead, and without those snake eggs, Dispersing Divine Water could no longer be refined. Logically speaking, this thing shouldn't appear in reality.
“Just catch this person and ask, and we'll know.” Jiang Wen flicked Bai Jing's forehead and walked straight towards the tall man.
Takenoue Honoka put down the phone, his heart filled with a sense of joy. Thinking that he would receive a treasure bestowed by the Divine Envoy, allowing him to become a few years younger, he had even greater ambitions for his future life.
A divine object that could reverse age, this was probably something everyone in the world dreamed of. Whether it was a financial magnate or a world-class conglomerate, whether it was a high-ranking official who controlled the life and death of billions, or an ordinary human.
Which old man didn't want to return to his youth? Which powerful person didn't want eternal youth? As long as he had the divine object in hand, anything he wanted, anything he wanted to obtain, he could get easily.
My ambition shouldn't be limited to Kyoto, but also to restore the glory of the empire. Takenoue Honoka looked at the night view of Kyoto outside the window, filled with endless ambition.
Pouring himself a full glass of wine, Takenoue Honoka prepared to leave the apartment after drinking it all in one gulp. He still had many things to do; this was just one of his hideouts.
Turning around, Takenoue Honoka froze on the spot. His eyes were filled with astonishment, and his hand quietly reached towards his back.
Right in front of him, a young man in a black trench coat was looking at him with a smile that was not a smile.
“You, who are you!” Takenoue Honoka frowned and asked. “Why did you break into my house for no reason?”
Jiang Wen didn't speak, but slowly walked towards him. Takenoue Honoka was shocked, but after barely calming down, he scolded, “If you take another step forward, don't blame me for not showing any mercy.”
The other party still ignored him. Seeing him getting closer and closer, Takenoue Honoka hardened his heart and pulled out a pistol from behind.
Safety off, chamber loaded.
All in one go.
Takenoue Honoka skillfully held the pistol and fired several shots at Jiang Wen. He didn't want to be noticed, but he was now forced to do so. The appearance of this person in front of him was too mysterious, and he wasn't sure if he would have another chance to shoot.
Although his marksmanship was quite good, he couldn't be sure if his moves would be effective against the person in front of him. After all, he had seen too many strange things recently, and Takenoue Honoka knew that the world was vast.
Instead of that, it was better to be cautious. If the gun was ineffective against the other party, then the sound of gunfire would always attract the attention of others. At that time, he would be able to escape as well.
Although Takenoue Honoka's idea was good, it was a pity that guns had no effect on Jiang Wen, let alone a small-caliber pistol.
He greeted the bullets, listening to the clanging sound of the bullets colliding with his skin. He casually reached out his hand and grabbed Takenoue Honoka.
“Don't resist; your gun is useless to me.” Jiang Wen smiled.
“You! You are a devil! You are a monster!” Takenoue Honoka was frightened by this situation. He never thought that he would see such a terrifying scene one day. The weapon that humans were most proud of, when hitting a person, could actually make a crisp collision sound.
It was as if it had hit an iron plate; the sparks of copper and iron bursting were clearly visible.
“Devil? Monster? Isn't that you?” Jiang Wen said indifferently, turning his head to look at Bai Jing on his shoulder.
“It's your turn.”
“I know, Master.” Bai Jing let out a light laugh. In Takenoue Honoka's terrified eyes, her eyes emitted a faint blue light.
“Tell me everything you know.”
“Yes.” Takenoue Honoka's mind was instantly captivated. His eyes were blank, and he stood blankly in place, looking at the ceiling.
“What's your name?”
“Takenoue Honoka, the third son of the Takenoue family.”
“Who were you talking to just now?”
“The Divine Envoy! The Divine Envoy of Takamagahara! He brought a divine object! A divine object that can make people younger—Dispersing Divine Water.”
“How did you meet this Divine Envoy? What did he ask you to do? Where is he now?” Jiang Wen asked all his questions, sitting in the chair and waiting quietly for the answers.
“I met the Divine Envoy in an abandoned shrine outside Kyoto. The Divine Envoy asked me to find nine hundred and ninety-nine virgins around the age of eighteen. But that's too difficult; where are there so many virgins in Kyoto? As for where the Divine Envoy is, I don't know either. He gave me a phone and told me to contact him through the phone if anything happened.” Takenoue Honoka said blankly, standing foolishly after answering the questions.
“Then one last question, what is the Divine Envoy's name?”
“The Divine Envoy, the Divine Envoy said his name is Wang, and he is an envoy of the gods of Takamagahara. He is here to collect the blood of virgins in order to revive the Yamata no Orochi god, Chi Yao.”
“…Yamata no Orochi Chi Yao?”
“Yes.” Takenoue Honoka nodded affirmatively.
Jiang Wen rubbed his forehead after hearing these words. This was probably the most difficult thing he had heard recently.
“Which kind of monster is Yamata no Orochi? Chi Yao doesn't seem to be called by this name, right?” Bai Jing asked Jiang Wen with some doubts.
“Yamata no Orochi is an evil god from an overseas country. It is said to be immortal and indestructible, capable of destroying the entire overseas country.” Jiang Wen told Bai Jing the story of Yamata no Orochi, and Bai Jing couldn't help but chuckle after listening.
“This snake is too stupid and clumsy; how can it be compared to Chi Yao? If it weren't for the benefactor's anomaly, Chi Yao wouldn't have fallen so quickly. Even if she was given some more time, her plan might have succeeded.”
“Let's not mention these things. Now we know that these six-legged demons all originated from the demon Wang. We need to find it and find out its purpose, as well as the origin of the Dispersing Divine Water. You should know how harmful that thing is. If it's the real deal, no one in this world can resist its temptation.” Jiang Wen said seriously.
Compared to things that humans know are addictive, Dispersing Divine Water is a dimensional strike. That kind of effect, that kind of pleasure. Even Jiang Wen was almost tempted by it back then. That was a happiness that originated from the soul rather than the body; it was the pinnacle of extreme joy in the world.
Once this thing spreads, Jiang Wen didn't dare to think about the impact it would cause. Moreover, the production materials of Dispersing Divine Water were even more inhumane. When it becomes widely known, Jiang Wen didn't want to speculate on what would happen.
That would probably be a catastrophe in the present world, the disintegration of the entire human society.
“Chi Yao once said that Dispersing Divine Water could no longer be produced, but even inferior Dispersing Divine Water shouldn't appear in this world.” Jiang Wen said solemnly. He looked at the world outside the window, the divine light in his eyes clear.
“I will not allow anything to disrupt this world, even if it is not peaceful.”
