Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

The cold rain hit Yiyin's face randomly, making him feel cold.

"It's so cold..."

The climate of Blue Planet is different from that of Earth. Even if the weather is very cold, people will not be frozen to death.

Could it be that... my body is failing?

Yiyin felt a little bitter. He had not experienced many things yet, but he was told such a tragic fate. It was really regrettable.

"Wake up, you bastard."

After feeling someone kicking him hard several times, Yiyin had to stop talking in his sleep and prepare to face the cold and cruel reality again.

The heavy rain is still falling and there seems to be no end in sight.

The gravekeeper on Bubu Road burped and looked like he had just woken up.

"Since you're not dead yet, stop occupying the grave and doing nothing."

Yi Yin rubbed his still aching head and asked:

"Old man, who are you? When we were fighting Heinrich, you didn't seem to feel anything strange at all. Did you see a monster on the level of the ancestral monster when you were young? Or did you..."

"That bastard is quite imaginative."

Grandpa was amused. "As you can see, I'm just an old man. If it weren't for your good relationship with that brat in my family, I would have buried you long ago."

Yi Yin suddenly felt cold sweat breaking out. It seemed that he was still alive thanks to his grandfather's mercy.

"I'm Brother Bubulu, so you're my grandpa. Is there anything I can't tell my grandson?"

"Go away. Stop trying to get close to me."

Grandpa didn't seem to buy it. "If you really want to do this for my own good, then leave Shadow King Village as soon as possible so that I don't have to look at you and get in the way."

"Speaking of which, Bubulu and the others..."

"They left three days ago."

Grandpa took a sip of his wine. "I see you're badly injured, so I'll leave you here for now. I heard that Heinrich seems to have retreated. Humph, isn't it only natural to complete this little task?"

"This is not a small matter at all."

Yi Yin sighed silently in his heart, if Heinrich really wanted to destroy the Blue Star, they would have ceased to exist long ago.

"[Ding! Mission completed, attribute upgrade obtained]"

At this time, the system was finally online after a slight delay, but Yi Yin had no time to pay attention to it. He was thinking about what to do next.

There is no doubt that now that the Water Fang incident has been resolved, the next step is the Wheel of Time incident.

When Yiyin thought about meeting the legendary youngest of the Ten Shadow Kings, he couldn't help but feel excited.

At this moment, a man with a black umbrella walked towards him. His steps were very slow and hesitant.

Yiyin recognized this person. He was the kid who had led the bullying of Bubulu and who had even attempted to steal his monster fruit during the Cross Base entrance exam. If it weren't for his quick wits, he probably wouldn't have even passed the novice mission. Later, this person also contracted the green rash for some unknown reason and quietly left the Cross Base.

He seemed embarrassed.

"I've come to apologize to you and Bubulu. Damn me for insulting Bubulu like that... When I saw your bravery and fearlessness that day, I realized you are truly heroes. People like me, Wang Quanbu Luo, are only likely to rot in the dark sewers."

"It's okay, it's all in the past."

Yi Yin smiled awkwardly. To be honest, if Wang Quanbuluo hadn't introduced himself, he would have forgotten his name.

"Just wait and see. Next year I will continue to apply for the Cross Base. By then, you and Bubulu will be my seniors."

Wang Quanbuluo counted on his fingers.

"Well... there aren't many days left. When school starts again at Cross Base, just wait and see how I perform, Iin-senpai!"

"..."

Yiyin didn't know why he suddenly became a senior, but it seemed like this wasn't so bad...?

“It’s great to be young.”

Grandpa sighed, "Buno was as brave as you when he was young, but now he doesn't even dare to go home. It really makes me, as a father, angry!"

Seeing that his grandfather seemed a little angry, Wang Quanbuluo took the black umbrella and left tactfully.

"and many more……"

Yi Yin's eyes lit up when he noticed that Wang Quan Bu Luo was holding not only the black umbrella but also a Rotten Tomatoes Daily, a specialty of the Ryukyu Continent. He immediately became interested.

"Can I see your Rotten Tomatoes?"

"I'll give it to you if you want to read it." Wang Quanbuluo handed Yiyin the daily newspaper. "I'm leaving now. When I see Bubulu, please ask Senior Yiyin to apologize to him for me."

After receiving Wang Quanbu Luo's permission, Yi Yin picked up the newspaper and began to read. Grandpa said he had been in a coma for three days, so what would the newspaper say about Heinrich's sudden appearance and disappearance?

The answer is, there is no evaluation.

It seems that Dean Nicol's confidentiality measures were quite effective and not a single word leaked out. However, that was also expected.

Aside from gossip and rumors, there wasn't much else to watch. The only thing worth watching was perhaps someone winning the 77th Seven Saints Summoning Championship held on the Liufang Continent.

"Athelribet? What a strange name."

After reading it, Yiyin threw away the Rotten Tomatoes Daily.

"Then I should probably..."

Yi Yin was about to say goodbye to his grandfather when he suddenly felt a tinnitus in his ears, followed by severe dizziness.

After a brief dizziness, Yiyin found that his consciousness had become much clearer.

"(Can you hear me?)"

Suddenly, Yi Yin heard Xuanwu's voice. Could it be that she had learned the ability to transmit messages through the air?

"(...It's not teleportation. After Ryoma and your green-haired turtle's joint upgrade, it reached C-rank, further enhancing its abilities. After exploring it these past few days, I've developed a new use for it: using words to forcibly connect with certain people's minds and communicate with them in real time.)"

"That's great, Senior Xuanwu, now you can talk to people normally!"

Yiyin was sincerely happy for Xuanwu.

"(But you're the only one I can contact right now. ...To cut a long story short, Iin, we've found Qinglong. She secretly participated in the Seven Saints Summoning Championship without telling us and won...even though she used my Ice Familiar card○○（＞＜）○○)"

"Uh……"

Speaking of which, Yiyin still felt quite sorry for Xuanwu. If it weren't for him, Xuanwu's cards wouldn't have been confiscated by Qinglong.

"(Can you come back? Suzaku is a little depressed. We've been trying to counsel her for many days, but it's been ineffective. I think if you were here, you would definitely be able to make her smile again.)"

"Isn't this a bad idea? Last time, I helped you, Xuanwu-senpai, but it ended up with the ghost turtle and something else, and you got seriously ill. I'm afraid the same thing will happen to you this time, Suzaku-senpai. Besides, I'm not at the Cross Base right now. I'm in Shadow King Village. Returning to the Four Gods Base might be a bit..."

“(I know. That’s why I came to you now.)”

"(The benefit of this word spirit is that it allows me to know the exact location of the person in the spiritual connection at any time. Wait a moment, I'll be there soon.)"

Xuanwu's new ability is incredibly powerful. He can forcefully communicate with people and even pinpoint their exact location. Doesn't that mean I'll be unable to escape Xuanwu's gaze wherever I go?!

As Yi Yin was thinking this, the rain stopped falling overhead. A huge shadow covered the sky. Looking up, she saw another ark!

Could it be Thirteenth Princess? No...

The Ark slowly landed in the cemetery, and then a pretty girl wearing bracelets jumped out from it.

It’s Xuanwu.
