Chapter 934 Three Divine Artifacts
“Why did it choose me?”
“How would I know? You’ll have to ask it.” Ji Nian shrugged, “Perhaps you’re the protagonist of destiny? The chosen one of heaven and earth? Like those written in novels?”
…Nonsense.
Lin Qiye rolled his eyes and continued asking, “Then what about those three divine artifacts you took away?”
“That I know about.” A reminiscent look appeared in Ji Nian’s eyes, “Back then, following the hospital’s guidance to Cangnan, a strange person shrouded in shadows with a red-pupiled black eye on their forehead found me and gave me a letter.
I don’t know who sent the letter, but they wrote that if I wanted to find a way home, I needed to protect your life in the upcoming catastrophe.
In that letter, they also included instructions for a strange formation that used three divine artifacts as focal points.
But I didn’t have any divine artifacts, so I could only enter that hospital and figure out how to get the artifacts from the patients. Fortunately, with my cultivation level at that time, I could open three ward doors, so I went and made bets with each of them.”
Hearing this, Lin Qiye nodded slightly. Ji Nian’s description matched perfectly with Black Eye’s account and the descriptions from Nyx and others.
“But how did you win? Those were three deities.”
“Their minds weren’t quite right. It wasn’t hard to win if you found their weak spots.” Ji Nian smiled mysteriously, “I have an innate ability to glimpse the patterns of the Dao for short periods. Using this ability, I roughly understood their individual situations.
In the first ward, I bet with Nyx on who could create something the other had never seen and couldn’t understand.”
“Then what?”
“Then, I showed her this.”
Ji Nian raised her hand, revealing complex patterns intertwined on her hand’s back, mysterious and emanating an enigmatic aura.
“What is this?” Lin Qiye asked puzzled.
“Nyx asked the same question, so she lost and gave me her bracelet.” Ji Nian avoided the question with a slight smile.
“In the second ward, I competed with Merlin in predicting fate. In the final round, I let him try to see my fate, but he couldn’t, so he lost too and gave me his crystal ball.”
“What about the third ward? What did you bet with Bragi?”
“We didn’t bet anything. I saw he was lonely in there, so I made him a harp using pixels and traded it for his ring.” Ji Nian couldn’t help but sigh, “He had seven rings in total, and after I traded for one, he wanted to trade two more rings for a pan flute and a harmonica, but unfortunately I couldn’t make those instruments.
Afterward, I secretly followed you around, and after you returned home, I set up the formation with the three artifacts under your house, then I left.”
So that’s how it was…
Lin Qiye nodded thoughtfully.
“But who exactly are you? Why couldn’t even Merlin see through your fate?” he asked puzzled.
“That’s a secret.”
Ji Nian had no intention of telling him. She looked out the window and said, “Looks like we’ve arrived at the place you mentioned. Let’s get off.”
Lin Qiye also saw the Kazesai family’s landmark building under the night sky. He got off the car and walked straight toward the Kazesai family’s main gate. Ji Nian waved her hand to dismiss the McLaren and followed closely behind him.
“This is the yakuza family’s headquarters?” Ji Nian carefully examined the Japanese compound in front of her and spoke with surprise, “It looks quite modest.”
“This isn’t the headquarters, it’s just their family head’s residence. The siblings don’t like living in mansions, so they rented this compound.”
“The security seems pretty weak? Don’t people come for revenge?”
“They don’t need security. In all of Japan, no one can harm those siblings.”
While talking, Lin Qiye walked to the door and knocked.
After a long while, silence remained behind the door.
No one home?
Lin Qiye knocked hard twice more, and finally, a figure opened the door.
It was a young man wearing a black kimono with cherry blossom patterns. Lin Qiye had seen him before – when they were in front of the Black Kill Organization building, he was the one who brought people to invite Yuzurina back to inherit the Kazesai family leadership. His name was… Kazesai Takuya?
“Mr. Qiye?!”
Kazesai Takuya recognized Lin Qiye at a glance, his eyes showing intense joy, “You’re back?”
“Yes, where is your family head?”
“She left with Mr. Amemiya and a young man called Hoshimi Shota.”
“Amemiya and Shota?” Lin Qiye was stunned hearing these two names, “What are they doing?”
“Mr. Amemiya said he found the location of the last Magatsukami sword, but he needed the family head’s help. They’ve been gone for over an hour.”
The last Magatsukami sword?
Lin Qiye clearly remembered that when he left the “Human Circle” before, Amemiya Haruki had seven Magatsukami swords in his possession. Now it seems he had found another one… The Nine Magatsukami swords were about to be united?
“Did they say where they went?”
“No, they didn’t mention where the last Magatsukami sword was.”
“…I see. If they return, tell them I’ll be waiting at the Asaba Club.”
“Yes.”
Unable to meet the Yuzuri siblings, Lin Qiye could only turn and leave reluctantly.
“Amemiya Haruki, he’s that young man searching for the path of salvation, right?” Ji Nian pondered for a moment, “I heard Wei Dong mention him.”
“Yes.”
“Are you worried about them?”
Lin Qiye let out a long sigh, “Unfortunately, I don’t even know where they are. I can’t help even if I want to.”
Ji Nian thought for a moment, “I can’t help you find people, but if you want to deal with those corpse beasts, our Evil Association has something that could help…”
Hearing these words, Lin Qiye’s eyes lit up: “What is it?”
“That thing is too big, I left it on the cruise ship and didn’t bring it here. Once we go back and I have someone bring it over, you’ll know.”
Lin Qiye stared into Ji Nian’s eyes, falling into silence.
“What do I need to give in return?”
“Give in return?” Ji Nian thought seriously for a moment, “For you… owing me a favor would be enough.”
“A favor? Just that?”
“What else? You’re not as strong as me now, nor do you have as vast an influence as I do. How could I expect to get anything else from you right now?” Ji Nian smiled, “Besides, you carry the Divine Mental Hospital with you, you’re destined to reach the peak of this world sooner or later. Trading such a small matter for a favor from you isn’t a bad deal at all, is it?
Perhaps my hope of returning home lies with you.”
“Your home? Where is it?”
Ji Nian fell silent for a moment, slowly closed her eyes, and shook her head.
“I don’t know…”
