Chapter 925: The Descent of Shang Xie
Ji Nian casually put on a loose trench coat to cover her swimsuit, tied her black hair with a hair tie, and followed the man to the deck.
On the massive cruise ship, there were only about forty people in total, and at this moment, almost everyone had gathered in the middle of the deck, carefully examining the two people who had just been rescued, their faces filled with confusion.
“The President is here!”
“Quick, make way for the President.”
“Greetings, President!”
“Greetings, President!”
“…”
When someone in the crowd saw Ji Nian approaching in her trench coat, they immediately called out, and the crowd instantly parted to create a path, bowing slightly in greeting.
Ji Nian nodded slightly and calmly walked through the crowd, heading straight to the two people.
On the pixel-composed deck, a man and a woman lay quietly, with seawater dripping from their clothes, forming a pool of water around them. Both lay unconscious in the center of the water.
The woman wore a blood-stained dark blue Han robe and was extremely pale. There was a horrific sword wound on her back, but no blood was seeping out, and her breathing was weak but stable.
The man’s injuries were much more severe, with a sword wound that had pierced through his body from the back, his clothes stained red with blood. His left hand tightly gripped the woman’s hand, while his right hand clutched a long sword. Even though he was unconscious, both hands remained locked like iron clamps, showing no sign of letting go.
The moment Ji Nian’s gaze fell on the man, her pupils contracted, and her body suddenly trembled.
She seemed lost in thought, her lips slightly parted as she whispered to herself:
“It’s him… how can it be him?”
“President, what did you say?” asked the man in the suit beside her, puzzled.
“…Nothing.” Ji Nian came back to her senses and shook her head slightly.
After hesitating for a moment, the man spoke: “These two people’s conditions are very strange.
The woman has a sword wound, but there’s no bleeding, and the muscle tissue around the wound shows no signs of healing. Moreover, her wound is still… fresh? It’s as if all the cells were frozen at the moment of injury.
The man is even stranger. With such a severe penetrating wound, even if it didn’t hit the heart, it should have caused massive blood loss. Most people would have died from blood loss already, but he’s not only alive, but the wound is gradually healing on its own. His survival is nothing short of a miracle!”
Miracle?
Ji Nian shrugged.
She wasn’t sure about the woman’s condition, but this man… he truly represented a “miracle.”
“Take them both to the ship’s medical bay for emergency treatment,” Ji Nian calmly ordered.
The Shangyi Association members immediately carried the two people from the deck to the medical bay, and the others dispersed.
Ji Nian, wearing her trench coat, walked alone to the bow of the ship, her gaze fixed on the faint coastline visible through the fog in the distance, her eyes slightly narrowed.
“President, we’re approaching the gap in the Yata Mirror,” said the man in the suit as he walked to her side.
“Mm.” Ji Nian nodded calmly, turning to walk toward the cabin, her tattered trench coat swaying in the misty wind,
“Notify everyone to prepare for entering the ‘Human Circle.'”
…
Japan.
Human Circle.
North Hokkaido Coast.
Wei Dong stood by the turbulent sea, gazing at the distant horizon, his eyes showing anxiety.
“Sir Knight, why haven’t the President and others arrived yet?” he turned to ask the knight beside him, unable to contain his worry.
The knight sat leisurely on the beach, casually picking up a seashell and throwing it into the distant waves, responding unhurriedly, “Don’t worry, passing through that gap takes time. We’ve marked all the signals along the way, and with the President there, what could go wrong?”
“You’re right…”
Wei Dong nodded, feeling somewhat relieved.
Boom–!!!
Suddenly, a tremendous roar came from the distant sea, and a massive pixel sphere rapidly surfaced from the ocean depths, crashing into the water after breaking the surface, creating terrifying circular waves.
“Holy shit!” The blonde, blue-eyed knight blurted out a curse and turned to run, but the rolling waves still hit the beach, and the splashing seawater eventually soaked his clothes.
Wei Dong looked at the pixel sphere on the sea, his eyes filled with wild joy!
The pixel sphere’s shell dispersed like foam, revealing the massive cruise ship within. A young woman stood quietly at the bow, hands in her pockets, as falling seawater like rain soaked her clothes.
“So this is the ‘Human Circle’ of the Takamagahara gods…”
Ji Nian’s gaze swept across the blue sky and white clouds, then toward the distant silhouettes of buildings on shore, clicking her tongue, “The scale is really ridiculous, isn’t it?”
As the cruise ship gradually approached the shore, Ji Nian stepped directly off the bow, gracefully leaping to the coastline. Wei Dong and the knight bowed slightly, saying in unison:
“Greetings, President.”
“Hey, little Wei Dong, long time no see?” Ji Nian smiled, patting Wei Dong’s shoulder, “Thanks for your hard work this time.”
Wei Dong smiled helplessly, “President, I’m already thirty… using ‘little’ isn’t really appropriate, is it?”
“What’s inappropriate about it?”
Ji Nian waved dismissively and walked to the soaking wet knight, looking him up and down with an odd expression,
“Old Six, did you just come from a hot spring? I heard that most mixed baths in Hokkaido are full of old ladies eyeing young men’s bodies. You didn’t get taken advantage of, did you?”
Knight: …
“President, everything on the ship is ready,” a Shangyi Association member walked up behind Ji Nian and reported.
Ji Nian nodded slightly, her playful expression gradually becoming serious.
“Wei Dong, is the temporary base ready?”
“It’s ready,” Wei Dong nodded, “We have some connections with a yakuza family in Tokyo, they’ve lent us one of their properties as a temporary residence.”
“Yakuza family? Minamoto or Uesugi?”
“…Kazamatsuri.”
“Tch, novels really are deceiving.” Ji Nian shrugged, “Let’s go, lead the way.”
…
Tokyo.
Kazamatsuri Family.
“Welcome to the midday news.
