The two sides exchanged blows, creating a lively and exciting battle. In the midst of this, Li Wei released a shield around Bo Island as she went out to sea, preventing her from being affected by the magical clashes between the two sides.
After discovering that the shield hadn't confined her to her spot, Bo Island ran far away and hid behind a bench, only peeking out to watch the two people exchanging spells not far away.
"My God! Grant me the power to destroy the heretics who are blaspheming the true God before me!" The puppet's face was contorted with bulging veins, and he looked ferocious and terrifying.
Upon setting sail from Bo Island, it was discovered that although Puppet 970 appeared to have the upper hand, it was in a state of agitation and seemed to be struggling. On the other hand, the handsome young man opposite him was smiling and countering each move, constantly compressing the puppet's range of movement. Although he seemed to be at a disadvantage, he was actually pushing the puppet to the brink of defeat.
The puppet appeared to be insane, with dazzling golden flames rising from its body, and a huge firebird spreading its wings from its back.
When she went out to sea, she felt that she could hardly breathe. Even with a shield in between, she could feel the astonishing heat. Just as a huge firebird appeared on the surface of the puppet, everything inside the church began to melt rapidly, like ice floes encountering high temperatures.
As she set sail from Bo Island, she felt a surge of fear. The intense heat was terrifying; it could ignite and melt everything around her from a great distance—even more terrifying than lava. Although she didn't draw action-oriented shonen manga, she had read a lot of manga and knew a great deal of knowledge that couldn't be learned from textbooks. At the same time, her imagination was far more vivid than most people's.
The fact that it could do something like this means that the firebird's temperature was at least over two thousand degrees; otherwise, the surrounding objects wouldn't be so fragile.
Just as Po Island was out at sea and hiding behind a bench, (cgch) the bench in front of her suddenly burst into flames, turning the entire bench into a torch.
The giant golden firebird suddenly became eerie. Its original golden-red flames turned into a cold blue flame. When Bo Island went out to sea, he felt as if he had been thrown into a frozen wasteland. A large number of deformed and bizarre tentacles extended from the giant blue firebird's body, making it almost impossible for it to maintain its bird form.
Upon witnessing this terrifying scene, Bodao immediately covered his mouth, afraid that he might make a sound.
Li Wei remained calm and composed, as if the giant bird that was about to melt the entire space didn't exist.
As she set sail from Po Island, her heart was in her throat. All she could do now was pray for the strange young man who had barged in, praying that the handsome boy could defeat the eerie pope.
That person who called himself the Pope just now, it seems, was indeed no good. Falling into the hands of that kind of person, even if she becomes a saintess, her fate will definitely not be good.
Li Wei twisted his neck slightly and said, "After playing with you for so long, I finally managed to trick that feathered beast into revealing itself. Remember, in your next life, don't always think about taking people's money to solve their problems. Some money is not something you rats in the gutter can earn."
"What?!" The puppet cooperated by showing a shocked expression.
Li Wei snapped his fingers, and an invisible shockwave instantly spread outward from him, turning everything inside the church into dust.
The enormous, grotesque blue firebird was instantly shattered, and the puppet was also thrown backward by the shockwave, rolling several times before landing not far from the edge of the ocean.
Because of the shield she was wearing, when Bo Island went out to sea, her hair was blown around by the strong wind of the shockwave, and the tassels on her crown fluttered in the wind. She did not suffer as miserably as the puppet.
The puppet tried to struggle to get up, but he looked miserable. His whole body was covered in burn marks, and he lay on the ground like a pile of rotten flesh. He could only cast pleading glances at Bo Island.
Li Wei walked over unhurriedly and stopped beside the island of Bo. He flicked his finger lightly on the shield, and with a crisp sound like shattering glass, the shield turned into fragments and disappeared.
"Huh?!" Boshima exclaimed softly. The shield that had saved her more than once was now shattered, making her feel very unsafe.
“You’re safe now, what’s with the ‘hey’?” Li Wei laughed.
Just as the two were talking, the puppet laboriously rolled over and crawled towards the exit. Li Wei glanced at it, stepped on the puppet's back, and said, "Did I say you could leave?"
"Spare me... Spare me!" the puppet cried out incoherently. However, his entire body was severely burned, including inside his mouth, so his voice sounded like a broken bellows, hoarse and unpleasant.
"When you faced those innocent people weaker than you, did you ever hear their pleas for mercy? And why should I spare you? Do you expect me to let you run out and continue searching for food for that hairy beast?" Li Wei sneered. Bodao Chuhai mustered his courage and said, "Sir... do you know what happened to my parents?" Bodao Chuhai's biggest concern now was the safety of his family.
Li Wei turned his head, looked at the cute red-haired girl, and said, "Your family is all gone." Bo Dao Chu Hai's expression froze.
"Wait a moment." Li Wei took out the samurai sword he had drawn from the previous ten consecutive draws from his spiritual space, and thrust the blade at the puppet's back.
The puppet, whose usefulness had been completely exploited, was disposed of by Li Wei. No longer needing to control the puppet, the freed-up thought process made Li Wei feel that his thinking had become unimpeded.
Levi pulled the dazed Bo Dao out of the church. Outside the church was the courtyard of the old house. Bo Dao saw two middle-aged men lying in the corridor with broken limbs. One had an afro like a pineapple, and the other was as thin as a bamboo pole.
“I just read their memories. If you want to know the truth, grab my hand first.” Li Wei said, squatting down with Bo Island out to sea, while grabbing the afro-haired man’s head with his other hand.
In an instant, Bo Island began to experience everything that happened last night from a first-person perspective. Because of Levi's accelerated thinking, Bo Island only used a few seconds of external time to know what had happened last night.
Upon learning the truth, she was devastated.
Chapter 136. Aftermath
Li Wei placed the knife in front of Bo Island as he left the sea and said, "If you want revenge, now is a good opportunity. Otherwise, with your current abilities, once you step out of this door, you will never find another chance."
Boshima nodded, his gaze resolute as he picked up the katana lying in the corridor and began to hack wildly at the afro-haired man, as if he were chopping meat paste.
The samurai sword drawn by the system, although only of the lowest white quality, is already considered an indestructible divine weapon for ordinary people. In just a few strikes, even though Bojima Izumi's strength is not outstanding, he still managed to cut the afro-headed man to pieces.
After smashing the afro-headed man to pieces, Bo Dao, still not satisfied, went out to sea. Her eyes fell on the skinny man lying unconscious beside her. This skinny man was the one who had plunged the knife into her mother's heart. Such a blood feud made her eyes redden. Although the skinny man in front of her was just an executor, and the person who actually gave the order had been executed by Li Wei, she still felt she couldn't vent her anger without cutting something.
After killing the two executors, Po Island was panting heavily, blood splattering everywhere. However, the blood splattered onto her clothes and then slid down to the ground. Apart from a little blood on her face, she was completely clean.
"Feeling better?" Li Wei looked at Hajime Izumi kneeling in the corridor with a blank look in his eyes and knew that he needed to let Hajime Izumi calm down by himself.
Bo Island nodded, then slumped down, leaning against a pillar and staring blankly at the scenery in the courtyard.
Through the memories she gleaned from the person with the afro, she learned what had happened to her family: not only had her parents and brother been murdered, but the entire house had been burned to the ground, leaving her nowhere to go even if she returned.
Although she is legally entitled to inherit her parents' bank savings under current law, rebuilding the house will require a significant sum of money. After rebuilding the house and purchasing the most basic furniture, there won't be much money left.
As a junior high school student, she is too young to find part-time work, and she is uncertain about her future.
Li Wei watched Bo Island drift off to sea in a daze, saying nothing, before turning to leave. There were other members of the Harmony Cult and yakuza members in the mansion, all of whom were unstable factors. Before leaving, Li Wei planned to deal with them as well.
"Where are you going?" Seeing that Li Wei was about to leave, Bo Dao Chu Hai stood up and grabbed the hem of Li Wei's trench coat.
"Don't worry, I won't leave you here alone. I need to clean up the trash. The set you're wearing is a conceptual weapon; even a tank cannon might not be able to penetrate its defenses. You won't be in any danger. Stay here and wait for me to come back."
Li Wei gently patted Bo Island's head as it went out to sea, and said with a smile.
Bo Island nodded and obediently withdrew his hand.
Li Wei also needs to clean up the traces inside the mansion. After all, the puppet can't possibly cover up all the traces. Yesterday, he controlled the puppet to transfer various assets, and today, Li Wei is here to finish up.
Li Wei felt no heartache at the loss of the puppet, Qiandao Bai. He had already found a target for the next puppet. Unlike Qiandao Bai, who was a leader of the underworld, the next puppet would be the mastermind behind a large conglomerate. In terms of the speed of accumulating wealth, he would far surpass the Qiandao Bai who had been consumed so far.
Li Wei felt increasingly like he was the mastermind behind everything. The puppet clone technique allowed him to single-handedly support an entire massive force. The only troublesome thing was that he had to play his role well in front of outsiders.
Li Wei is now enjoying the feeling of creating drama for himself, manipulating the whole world while no one knows his true identity. This interesting thing is just like playing a game, it's addictive.
Li Wei did not possess any magic capable of precisely altering others' memories, so his method of erasing traces was quite simple and brutal: he directly erased the entire most recent memory of the recipient, adopting a "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free" approach to ensure that no information was leaked.
Those who needed to be killed were killed, and those whose memories needed to be erased were erased. In a short time, Li Wei had already finished cleaning up the mess. When he returned to the corridor and cleaned up the bodies of the two men, the one with the afro and the one with the skinny bamboo pole, he came to the island of Po and set sail.
"What are you planning to do next?" Li Wei asked.
“I don’t know.” Bodao Chuhai shook her head. Her family had suffered such a tragedy. She could have survived on hatred, but now that the culprit and his accomplices had been killed, she had lost her target for revenge, which left her feeling lost.
"Do you need me to help you apply for social assistance? Given your current situation, you're eligible for social welfare, and since this matter is somewhat related to me, I'll try to compensate you," Li Wei said. ... (Requesting flowers)
Bo Island looked at Li Wei, who had already taken off his hat, trench coat, and gloves, and stared blankly for a moment before asking, "Can I come with you?"
After a moment's thought, Hashima Izumi arrived at this conclusion. She was practically homeless, and the world held dangers unimaginable to ordinary people. Like this time, she had been targeted by the leader of a cult, who claimed she was a saint. After considering the cause and effect, Hashima Izumi deduced that she was likely a very special being. Even if she escaped the control of this cult, other cults or dark organizations might still be after her. Although she possessed special abilities, she didn't know how to utilize them. Against those who could easily trample on social rules, she was utterly powerless.
The fact that she was able to get rescued this time can be said to have involved a lot of luck. If Li Wei hadn't appeared, the outcome for her would definitely not have been good.
Having figured out the crux of the matter, Bo Island had come to regard Levi as her only lifeline. At least until she gained supernatural powers, she would have to rely on Levi's protection. Therefore, staying by Levi's side was the best solution for her at the moment.
Moreover, she no longer has any family, and she can decide where she wants to go.
Li Wei feigned surprise and said, "Are you sure you want to come with me? Let me make this clear first, I'm not from this world. Although I'm currently staying here, I'll be leaving soon. I can only offer you relatively short-term protection. If you want to stay in this world, then it's up to you."
After thinking for a moment, Hashima Izumi said, "Then I'll stay by your side forever." With no more worries, Hashima Izumi had already made his decision.
Li Wei said, "Since that's the case, then let me introduce myself. I am Li Wei, a cultivator striving to become an immortal, from the Kingdom of Chong in another world." Hajime Izumi nodded and said, "My name is Hajime Izumi. As you can see, I'm just an unlucky ordinary person."
Chapter 137. Arrival at Po Island by Sea
Li Wei said, "Since you want to come with me, then come along. However, I will not teach you how to develop the power within you for the time being, because the power within you is quite dangerous. If you are not careful, it will devour your rationality, especially now that you have experienced the great blow of losing your loved ones. You are easily out of control if you are slightly stimulated."
Although Bo Island was very reluctant to leave, he nodded and said, "I understand, but I have a question that I hope you can answer for me."
“As long as it’s not a sensitive question, I can still answer it,” Li Wei said.
"That cult leader just said I'm some kind of saintess. What's so special about my body?" Hashima Izumi was very concerned about this question. If she couldn't find the answer, she wouldn't be able to sleep soundly at night.
Li Wei considered it for a moment. Fortunately, "970" was a stickler for setting the story and paid great attention to such details. Even if it might not be used, he still made up the settings honestly. Otherwise, in the current situation, it would be easy to make mistakes by making things up on the spot.
Li Wei said, "Your physique is extremely valuable to those cults, because you can serve as a bridge between the two worlds. Cult leaders can use you as a medium to connect with the evil gods they believe in, thereby obtaining the seeds of extraordinary power from the evil gods. In other words, you are a superior being who must be respected and treated with courtesy by them. You can even become a so-called proxy."
As she sailed out to sea, she recalled the twisted and deformed giant firebird she had seen before. If that was the so-called god, she would rather stay as far away from it as possible.
"I need to go back to my place now, do you want to come with me?" Li Wei asked.
Bo Island said directly when he left the island, "I'll go with you."
The original intention of going out to sea from Po Island was to visit my home, but now all that's left is ruins. Rather than returning to that place of sorrow, I'd rather turn a new page and live on with my family.
Levi took Bo Island out to sea and they soared into the sky. It was Bo Island's first time experiencing flight, and she was slightly afraid of heights. She held tightly to Levi's arm with both hands, afraid that she would fall.
When the two returned to the apartment, Po Island looked at Levi's residence with curiosity, noting that it was somewhat different from what she had imagined.
If Li Wei hadn't already demonstrated his abilities to her, she would have found it hard to imagine that such a cozy, homey apartment could be the residence of a powerful superhuman like Li Wei.
The strength and ruthlessness that Li Wei had previously displayed had left a deep first impression on Bo Island. However, the current Li Wei was like a boy next door, lazily lying on the sofa. This huge contrast made her unsure if it was the same person.
"Turn on the TV if you want to watch TV. There are snacks and cola in the fridge, and there are pre-made bento boxes in the kitchen. They've been kept fresh with magic, so you can just open them and eat." Li Wei's lazy voice was just like a big cat's.
Looking at her incredibly revealing religious attire, Bo Island, blushed and said, "Are there any clothes I can change into here? I'd like to change out of this outfit."
Li Wei sat up and said, "Why? Your suit is a treasure. Wearing it, ordinary modern weapons, toxins, and even various dangerous chemicals can't harm you. It can save your life."
"It reminds me of that despicable leader of the cult. If it weren't for that leader, my family wouldn't have gotten into trouble," said Izumi Hashima through gritted teeth.
Li Wei crossed his legs and said, "I don't think so."
"Why?" asked Bo Island.
Li Wei said, "Because after your own characteristics awaken, you will be as conspicuous as a lighthouse in the dark to those malicious supernatural beings. Even if it's not this leader of the Harmony Cult, someone else will still try to harm you. And your family members, no matter what, will not escape this calamity."
