Thinking of this, Iwanaga Kotoko took a few steps back and took Xiaohua from Ibaraki Hanasu.
"Yurikawa-san, I'll take you to your room. Children shouldn't interrupt when adults are discussing something!"
"Eh? But Iwanaga-san looks more like a child than me, doesn't he?"
"So I'm responsible for showing you the room, right? We're both children."
"Hehe...so the relationship between Fang Yi and Iwanaga is enough to get Fang Yi in, right?"
The teasing words made Fang Yi pause and the expression on his face became a little strange.
She could even hear some barely concealed laughter from the side, which made Fang Yi unable to help but glare at someone.
Itsuki Hanasu seemed to have no idea how to restrain himself, and he even put his head close to Fang Yi and asked.
"Miss Kotoko, can I assume that you, the owner, agree with what she said?"
"...Exactly! I like this one, so could you introduce me to your Ibuki Suika? I think she's much more feminine than you, Huashan! What do you think?"
Fang Yi seemed to have completely given up on himself and looked at Ibaraki Huashan with an expressionless face.
In an instant, Ibaraki Hanafu's face turned stiff and his steps stopped.
Although she didn't know how the owner knew Suika, she had already gotten used to the owner's peculiarity. What she cared about more was what the owner said. She always felt that she had lost to that shorty Suika!
Shit! Next time I see Suika, I'm going to give her a good beating to vent my anger!
"Ahem...pretend I didn't say anything!"
Ibaraki Huashan coughed. She was now certain that she could not gain any advantage in front of Fang Yi.
Fang Yi didn't say much, just smiled and walked to the door of the World Archives.
At this moment, Ibaraki Hanafu also frowned and looked carefully at the door in front of him.
As she observed, there seemed to be a very special force on this door that made her divert her attention.
Even a great monster like himself seemed unable to avoid being affected by this door, except Fang Yi...
It seems that only if Fang Yi brings himself here can this influence be completely eliminated.
It was clearly just a very ordinary door, but when Fang Yi pushed it open, he felt like he was forcibly pushing open some ancient door, which made Ibaraki Hanafu's body subconsciously tense up.
Gradually, what came into Ibaraki Hanafu's sight was a huge space that was so magnificent that the end could not be seen with the naked eye.
Just by taking a look inside, Ibaraki Hanasu, who usually had a calm expression, felt a huge wave of emotion in his heart in an instant.
It was not until Fang Yi's voice reached his ears that Ibaraki Huashan's thoughts were brought back to reality.
"Come in! Huashan, don't stand there stupidly at the door!"
Ibaraki Hanafushi nodded slightly and was about to take the first step when he seemed to sense something and subconsciously glanced behind him.
With a slight raise of his eyebrows, Ibaraki Hanafu shook his head, turned around and continued walking towards the World Archives.
Then, the door slowly closed and the shop returned to peace again.
However, in a corner, a crack appeared in the space for some unknown reason.
After Ibaraki Huashan entered the World Archives, Fang Yi just snapped his fingers, and the necessary knowledge broke into Ibaraki Huashan's mind in the most violent way, causing Ibaraki Huashan to subconsciously cover his head.
However, as expected of the ghost clan, they sorted out the necessary knowledge in just a moment.
Following closely behind was Ibaraki Hanasu's astonished expression.
"The surprise the Master has brought me is truly beyond imagination. The World Archives... is like an Akashic Record that records everything, or as the immortals would say... the Way of Heaven..."
Having said that, Ibaraki Huashan was silent for a moment, and looked at Fang Yi with a slightly subtle look.
Obviously, she thought of what she had said before: her philosophy is in line with the way of heaven.
In a sense, was he a prophet? He had directly predicted his current relationship with Fang Yi.
"From this perspective, the Master is equivalent to the agent of Heaven."
Fang Yi didn't care about the other person's look. He just shrugged his shoulders and picked up a file and took a look at it.
He has no interest in being an agent of heaven, he just wants to take care of his own business.
"Well, Hua Shan, you should think carefully before joining the World Archives. The archives have four... cough... three departments. One is the Character Archives Department, which records all the characters in this world; the Ability Archives Department, which records all the abilities in this world; and the Armament Archives Department, which records all weapons and props."
"By the way, Kotoko is in the Character Files Club! Currently, each Files Club can only have one member!"
As he spoke, Fang Yi also stretched out his hand and said this at the same time.
"Which archives department you choose to go to is up to you, Hua Shan!"
Hearing this, Hua Shan nodded and thought for a moment before extending his hand.
The moment their hands held together, the entire archive seemed to feel the addition of a new member, as if it had been infused with new vitality. It trembled slightly, and pieces of information flowed into her mind.
It seemed as if data streams were flowing in Ibaraki Hanafu's eyes. He froze in place for a moment, and then -
A small employee card gradually formed in Ibaraki Hanafu's hand, making Ibaraki Hanafu subconsciously look over.
「Member: Ibaraki Hanaogi」
"Race: Immortal/Ghost"
"Abilities: Animal Guidance, Immortal Arts (Dream), Sage's Contract..."
"Rank: Armed Archives Department Employee"
"Permissions: Employee Level: Can read the files of the department to which the employee belongs (limited to files within the scope of the employee's knowledge). Upon successfully recovering a file, a random "setting" can be added to the recovered file."
After taking in all the information on the employee's small card, Ibaraki Hanasu's eyes showed surprise.
She could clearly feel a deep connection between herself and this place.
It seems that I have joined an incredible place!
At this moment, Fang Yi seemed to hear some news in his mind, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
"Congratulations to the owner for successfully recruiting an employee. You will be randomly given a file belonging to that employee."
"——"Sage's Contract" has been successfully added to the gym owner's settings!"
Fang Yi raised his eyebrows slightly. Am I... becoming the sage of Gensokyo?
Chapter 57: It’s obviously my own golden finger, why did I only get the instruction manual?
"Are many files missing from the World Archives? And the Master is responsible for retrieving the files from the Predators and resolving the world's crisis... Although I had guessed some of this before agreeing to the Master's request, he's really come up with a big one. I never thought he'd even moonlight as the Savior."
After completely integrating into the World Archives, Ibaraki Huashan learned more information from Fang Yi.
The World Archives only provided the most basic information, and only Fang Yi knew about the "Predator".
Perhaps, this is the authority gap between employees and museum owners!
The World Archives only gave the most basic information to its employees, but revealed everything to the owner... but did they really reveal everything? Fang Yi still had a question mark, but judging by the current situation, he didn't have the heart to care about it.
Listening to Ibaraki Huashan's praise, Fang Yi just shook his head with almost no hesitation.
"I'm not interested in being a savior. It's too troublesome. I'd be busy all day long when something goes wrong in the world. My world is very small. Becoming strong to protect myself and those around me, and doing things that I find interesting, is enough for me. If the existence of a 'Predator' didn't pose a real threat to those around me, I wouldn't deliberately do anything."
Fang Yi is not a righteous partner. He does things according to his own mood.
Whether it was about being with Kotoko or agreeing to let Karaoke train his grandson, it was the same.
The matter of the "predator" posed more of a direct threat to Fang Yi's survival in this world.
He will never forget the time he encountered the "Predator" when he first came to this world.
It had a significant impact on Fang Yi at that time and even on Fang Yi now.
"That's enough. Those who are righteous and unselfish are saints. You, the Master, are human. Living according to your own desires without crossing the line is the way of heaven that humans follow. So, you, the Master, just need to follow your own path. Don't live for others, but for yourself!"
Fang Yi was also surprised by the words that came out of Ibaraki Huashan's mouth.
This girl is a well-known old woman. She once criticized Reimu for her laziness and greed, and always wanted to cure Marisa's stealing habit... In a sense, she is an old woman who is strict with herself and others!
When he said this, Fang Yi thought the other party would scold him!
Unexpectedly, did he approve of his own way of survival?
Fang Yi's expression also became much gentler.
"Then, Master, you said earlier that Ibaraki's visit to Tokyo to find Murakumo Ya was related to the Predator? Why are you so sure?"
After Ibaraki Hanaou had a rough idea of the matters concerning the World Archives and the "Predator", he immediately got down to business.
When it comes to a crisis concerning the world, she will not sit idly by, no matter whether she is a sage or the sage of Gensokyo.
What's more, now that she is on Fang Yi's side, she will of course do her job according to her own position.
Since the other party has joined his side, Fang Yi will certainly not hide anything.
"Huashan still remembers the two Onmyojis from the Hanakaiin family, right?"
"Of course I know. Is this matter related to them?"
"I have a connection with that Hanakaiin Kagome. From what I've heard, her name should be Higurashi Kagome, and her family runs the Higurashi Shrine. She's the reincarnation of a legendary shrine maiden named Kikyo from five hundred years ago, and the Murasaki Ya is in her house. But I've inquired, and there's no Higurashi Shrine. Furthermore, Hanakaiin Kagome has become the Onmyoji of the Hanakai family, completely different from what I knew. I can't think of any other reason for this change besides the 'Predator'."
Of course, there are also things like the Bone-Eating Well, which are too complicated to explain, and many of them are conclusions based on Fang Yi's understanding of the original work, so Fang Yi only talked briefly about Kagome.
However, after hearing this, Ibaraki Hanasu's face gradually showed a look of astonishment.
"Kikyo? Are you talking about the Kikyo from the Warring States Period?"
"You know Kikyo? No! It's normal that you know her... You said you had seen two humans with the same terrifying power as me, one of them should be her!"
Fang Yi was surprised, but he quickly reacted.
Ibaraki Hanasu has lived since the Heian period, so it is normal for him to know her.
However, Ibaraki Hanasu shook his head with a somewhat regretful look on his face.
"No! I wasn't talking about her. Although she did possess amazing powers as a shrine maiden, she died young before she could fully grow up. If she had been given more time, she might have been able to achieve the same as that Cuizi. It's such a pity!"
"Cuizi..."
Fang Yi subconsciously covered his chest, the purifying light in his body still shining.
Ibaraki Huashan didn't notice Fang Yi's expression. He didn't say much before just to avoid discovering his identity. But now, since he has already told Fang Yi, what else should he hide from Fang Yi?
"Among the people I know, there are two who can be said to be beyond the human race! The shrine maiden Tsuiko and... a friend of mine. The purifying power possessed by the former was so great that even I was afraid of it. Unfortunately, they were later besieged by countless monsters. A top-level monster, formed by the fusion of the bodies and souls of many monsters, fought with Tsuiko for seven days and seven nights, exhausting all of her physical strength before they were able to take the opportunity to kill her. But even so, Tsuiko still survived in the form of a soul and continued to fight with them. I guess that battle has not ended to this day... As for the latter... forget it! I won't say anymore!"
As if something unhappy was mentioned, Ibaraki Hanafu frowned, sighed and did not speak any more.
Fang Yi knew who the other person was sighing for, and being careful, he didn't intend to poke fun at the other person's sorrow.
Looking up, Fang Yi's gaze fell on the archives, which was almost infinite in space.
"Maybe we can find clues about the Predator in the archives!"
"Hmm? What does the Master mean?"
Sure enough, Fang Yi's words directly attracted Ibaraki Huashan's attention, and the sadness between his brows was swept away.
"I've said before that the Kagome I remember is Higurashi Kagome, not Hanakaiin Kagome. If the abnormal node appears in Zheli, then we can start searching directly from Kagome's files. With Kagome as the center, we can investigate the files of everyone around her, and even her previous identity before reincarnation. We will definitely find something strange!"
Fang Yi's words made Ibaraki Huashan's eyes light up. Indeed, this would make things much easier.
Thinking of this, Ibaraki Huashan immediately looked at Fang Yi with anticipation, but... Fang Yi just stood there motionless.
Looking at Fang Yi standing there motionless, Ibaraki Huashan couldn't help but ask.
"Um... Master, weren't you looking for Miss Hanakaiin Kagome's file? Why aren't you doing anything?"
After all, she had just arrived and was definitely not as familiar with the archives as Fang Yi. For Fang Yi, it should only take a few minutes.
However, Fang Yi's expression clearly told Ibaraki Huashan one thing - she was overthinking it.
"This archive is infinitely large. It contains the files of everyone in the world... Do you think I can accurately find someone's file among these endless archives? It takes me at least several hours to put the recovered files back every time! If I'm slow, it will probably take several days to return the files to their original location!"
"But... aren't you the master? Didn't this archive give you this authority?"
Hearing Fang Yi's words, Ibaraki Huashan's face was full of astonishment.
"Yeah...I'm curious about this question too!"
For some reason, Ibaraki Huashan heard a deep sadness in Fang Yi's overly plain words.
In theory, it's my own cheat code, but apart from an instruction manual, I was given nothing else and had to figure it out on my own.
Why does it feel like this museum owner is even more unlucky than these employees?
