Chapter 738: Coma
Several black vehicles from the Kazematsuri family sped along the coastal highway.
Inside one of the cars, Cao Yuan sat in the back seat, holding a knife, gazing out at the shimmering sea, his eyes filled with anticipation.
He had been stuck in this cursed place for so long and had finally found Lin Qiye and the others; soon, they would meet again after such a long time… Perhaps this was the happiest moment for Cao Yuan in the past two years.
Beside him, Yuzuriha Rina, dressed in a black sakura kimono, hung her head low, looking quite dejected.
Cao Yuan glanced back at her, thought for a moment, and finally voiced his curiosity, “By the way, if it’s just to send me to Hokkaido, you, the young master of the Kazematsuri family, really didn’t need to come personally, did you?”
“Since Brother Qiye is leaving, of course, I have to come to see him off,” Yuzuriha Rina replied matter-of-factly. “If I don’t come this time, I might not see him again in the future…”
Cao Yuan pondered for a moment. “You could come back with us to Daxia.”
Yuzuriha Rina was taken aback, seemingly tempted, but ultimately shook her head. “Dad and my little brother are still here; I can’t go back with you…”
Seeing this, Cao Yuan nodded and didn’t press the matter further.
At that moment, a pleasant ringtone echoed in the car.
Yuzuriha Rina took out her phone, and upon seeing the number, her eyes lit up as she immediately answered.
“Brother Qiye, we are already on our way.”
“…”
After a moment of silence on the other end, Yuzuriha Rina nodded and handed the phone to Cao Yuan. “Brother Qiye said he wants to tell you something.”
Cao Yuan took the phone with confusion.
“Qiye, what’s going on?”
“…”
After a brief pause, Cao Yuan’s expression turned serious.
“I understand.”
After hanging up, Cao Yuan took a deep breath, turned to Yuzuriha Rina, and said solemnly:
“The plan has changed; it seems… we need to turn back.”
……
Tokyo.
International Financial Tower.
At the top of this luxurious skyscraper, a man in a suit stood stiffly by the door, beads of cold sweat trickling down his forehead, yet he didn’t dare to wipe it away.
He was the wealthiest entrepreneur in Tokyo, owning dozens of large companies, truly a top-tier tycoon in the Kanto region, with wealth and status that placed him above others.
But at this moment, he shrank back like a quail, watching the four figures standing in his office, not daring to breathe.
Because… these four figures represented deities.
A figure in a white robe, Bing Zai, slowly walked past the coffee table in the office and approached the black desk. By the large floor-to-ceiling window, a figure in a black robe sat in a leather chair, quietly gazing out at the scenery.
“We still haven’t found any trace of Yuzuriha Takahashi and Yuzuriha Kurotetsu,” Bing Zai spoke slowly.
“Not surprising,” Yu Zai raised an eyebrow. “Yuzuriha Kurotetsu possesses the [Hypnotic Eyes], which can deceive all living beings and machines. Even if we walked right past them, we wouldn’t be able to detect them…”
“What should we do then? It’s been so many days; are we just going to keep waiting here?” The fifth Oracle Envoy, Bing Zai, frowned and asked.
“We won’t be waiting much longer.”
Yu Zai stood up from the chair and walked slowly to the calendar, looking at the date, his eyes narrowing slightly.
“Very soon, Yuzuriha Kurotetsu will come to us on his own.
Calculating the time… it should be about right.”
……
Tokyo.
In a rented room.
“Cleared the game!!”
Yuzuriha Takahashi stood up excitedly, looking at the screen.
Uncle Jingxie put down the game controller, rubbed his tired eyes, and slowly stood up from the cushion…
“I’ve been up all night… my knees are starting to hurt again.” He grinned, stretched a bit, and walked over to the heavy curtains, pulling them open.
Bright sunlight poured in through the window, causing both Uncle Jingxie and Yuzuriha Takahashi to squint.
“Is it already this late?” Uncle Jingxie murmured.
“Clearing the new game in one go was so satisfying! It’s truly one of the masterpieces of this year… Although the plot is a bit bland compared to the previous one, the gameplay has made significant breakthroughs!
What do you think, Uncle?”
Yuzuriha Takahashi flopped onto the bed, rolling around a couple of times, her long white hair spilling carelessly over the sheets. She reminisced about the game for a while before turning to look at Uncle Jingxie, who was standing nearby.
Uncle Jingxie’s mouth twitched, and after a moment of contemplation, he began to ramble:
“Compared to the previous one, the plot is indeed lacking, but I think the gameplay breakthroughs aren’t that significant either; it still falls short compared to another masterpiece I played before…”
“Really? Uncle, you’ve played such amazing games?!” Yuzuriha Takahashi looked at Uncle Jingxie with admiration in her eyes.
“Of course,” Uncle Jingxie chuckled. “I played that game two years ago, and I waited in line all night when it was first released…”
Thud—!!
Before Uncle Jingxie could finish his sentence, a dull thud came from behind him.
He was taken aback, turning around in confusion, only to see Yuzuriha Takahashi had collapsed to the ground, her face taking on an unhealthy grayish hue, her eyes tightly shut, and her expression seemed to be in great pain.
“Takahashi!”
Uncle Jingxie’s pupils dilated as he rushed to Yuzuriha Takahashi’s side, his eyes filled with anxiety and confusion.
He quickly checked Yuzuriha Takahashi’s body, finding no wounds or signs of illness, but she felt as if she had been encased in some kind of lime, her body completely stiff, and her temperature was dropping at an alarming rate.
His heartbeat slowed down.
How could this happen?!
Uncle Jingxie felt Yuzuriha Takahashi’s body gradually losing vitality, panic etched on his face. He frowned and stood up, wanting to carry Yuzuriha Takahashi to the hospital, but he hesitated.
Yuzuriha Takahashi’s body was different from that of a normal person. After years of experimentation as an Oracle Envoy, her physiological signs differed greatly from those of a normal human. Her white hair, physique, and those star-shaped pupils made it easy to tell.
If he took her to the hospital, not only would they be unable to treat her with medical means, but it might also cause a commotion…
But if he didn’t go to the hospital, he didn’t understand medicine either, nor did he know the current state of Yuzuriha Takahashi’s body. Should he just wait here?
Oracle Envoy…
Experiments…
During the time he spent with Yuzuriha Takahashi, there had been no signs of abnormalities, nor had there been any signs of illness. Her current condition should not have arisen after arriving in Tokyo…
Could it be that Yuzuriha Takahashi’s current situation is related to the experiments conducted in the [Pure Land]?
