Chapter 103
Arataki Ichito stepped aside to make way and motioned for Shikanoin Heizo to enter.
As soon as the door was opened, Shikanoin Heizo saw Arataki Ichido slumped on the ground with an innocent look on his face.
He couldn't help but touch the swelling on his head that hadn't subsided yet.
It still hurt a little, reminding him of his previous conflict with Arataki Ichido.
Arataki Ichido raised his head and his eyes met Shikanoin Heizo's, whose face twitched unnaturally.
He spoke quickly, with a hint of urgency in his voice:
"Jiuqi Shinobu should have mentioned it to you. She and I have always maintained a cooperative relationship."
Lu Yeyuan Heizo was afraid that Ara Taki Ichidou would make trouble again, so he hurriedly stated his identity and position:
"I used to be a consultant to the Tenryo Bugyo, helping them solve cases as a detective.
Later, out of my love for solving mysteries, I became a fellow detective of the Tenryo Bugyo."
"Detective work requires a lot of information to support it, and to unravel each mystery.
Therefore, Shinobu Kuki and I reached a consensus: she provides me with the necessary information, and I provide convenience for the Aratake faction within a reasonable range."
Heizo Shikanoin finished all the explanations in one breath, and then carefully observed Aratake Izu's reaction.
He knew that Aratake Izu's worldview might be black or white, and he was not sure whether she could accept this gray area transaction between him and Shinobu Kuki.
Contrary to Heizo Shikanoin's expectations, Aratake Izu did not show anger or excitement.
Aratake Izu nodded slightly, with a hint of relief in his tone:
"I know, Shinobu has already told me"
"Moreover, I also understand that I cannot use the standards of our world to ask you.
I was in a bad mood that day, and I saw that Arotaki Ito was in such a difficult situation in this world."
"As a demon, you are hunted and despised by the Three Magistrates like a rat crossing the street.
That’s why you take your anger out on me."
Shikanoin Heizo listened quietly, frowning slightly.
Aratake Ichizu took a deep breath and said firmly:
"But I have figured it out now.
Maybe I will have to live here for a long time. In this case, I have to get used to this world and truly face the ugliness and unbearableness here."
When Heizo Shikanoin heard the words"ugly and unbearable", he frowned:"Although the 29 Inazuma are indeed a little uneasy recently due to the isolation order and the eye hunting order, these two words are a bit heavy.
I don't think our world is as bad as you say."
Aratake Ichido's eyes revealed deep nostalgia, and her voice became distant and ethereal:"That's because you haven't seen our world."
Heizo Shikanoin's eyes flashed with strong interest,
"This is one of the reasons why I came here today."
"In Teyvat, it is not uncommon for us to see travelers from other worlds."
"But your world seems to be a little special, it actually has a continent called Teyvat that is similar to ours."
He looked at Ara Taki Ichidou, as if he wanted to find more clues from her:
"Moreover, judging from your appearance, you seem to correspond to our Arata Ichito."
He pointed out the striking similarities between the two:
"Same looks, same elemental skills, same ghost clan"
"So besides Aratake Ichito, are there other people in your world that I'm familiar with?"
"Or, is there another me in your world?"
Zhuang Qi:...
He had just reached an agreement with the system not long ago, and could use the A reward to change his gender.
If he directly answered Shikanoin Heizo's question now, wouldn't that indirectly limit the gender possibilities of others?
If he drew an Inazuma character with the opposite gender to this world in the future, wouldn't that mean wasting precious reward opportunities to adjust?
Zhuang Qi decided to answer in an ambiguous but matter-of-fact tone:
"Of course, there are many people in our world who are just like us."
"But I don't know you in that world.
Maybe there is another you in some corner, but I don't know if that you are the same as you."
Then, he cleverly changed the focus of the topic:"Besides, there are some special people that Inazuma doesn't have here."
"For example, the leader of our ghost tribe, Lord Torachiyo."
When Ara Taki Ichidou mentioned this name, a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes.
"If Lord Torachiyo were still alive, Ichito Arataki's life would probably be completely different now."
""The blue and red demons of our demon clan are numerous," she said with a hint of pride,"They are all shining in their own positions."
Aratake Ichito's answer made Shikanoin Heizo fall into deep thought.
He couldn't help but start to imagine whether the life in that parallel world was completely different from the Teyvat continent he knew.
At this time, Aratake Ichito suddenly exclaimed, with a hint of disbelief in his voice:
"Blue ghost?! There are actually blue ghosts in your world."
"Don’t they dislike dealing with humans and hide away?"
After hearing what Ara Taki Ichito said, a puzzled expression appeared on his face:
"Most blue ghosts prefer to be quiet, but they don't have to hide."
"The blue ghosts are all very smart guys, and most of them are now engaged in research work.
This kind of work is very quiet and suitable for them."
"Besides, we have been going to school with humans since we were young, and we have long been accustomed to living together."
Ara Taki Ichito's face became a little lonely, and his voice became low:
"The green demons here all left Inazuma a long time ago, and I don't know where they went."
"I also heard about their existence from stories told by my parents when I was a child."
In this world, there are only a few red ghosts left in Inazuma, and the blue ghosts are nowhere to be found.
The ghosts who are still active in Inazuma are all red ghosts, and there are not many of them. They are all engaged in the lowest level of work.
Compared with the prosperous ghosts in another world, the ghosts in this world seem particularly desolate, and can almost be said to be dwindling.
"The ghosts living in your world are all happy guys. Regardless of whether Torachiyo will betray General Raiden in the future,"
"At least, she is indeed a good clan leader.……"
However, Aratake Ichito's loss was only for a moment, and the next second, he recovered his vitality.
"Therefore, I in this world also have to work hard!"
"As the strongest ghost king in this world, it seems that I can only rely on this uncle to revitalize the ghost clan!"
Arakaki Ichidou curled his lips in dissatisfaction:"How many times do I have to tell you that Chiyo's loyalty to General Raiden is unquestionable."
"but……"
She patted Arata Ichito's shoulder and smiled appreciatively.
"You have great ambitions, worthy of being me from another world."
"I believe you can do it! You will definitely live up to our reputation as the best in the world."
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha"
"Hahahahahahahaha."
Shikanoin Heizo coughed twice, interrupting the two giggling guys.
"I have more questions for you two."
Aratake Ichito seemed a little impatient.
She glanced at Shikanoin Heizo and said,"Why do you have so many questions?"
She paused and added,"
Since I knocked you out, I'll let you ask one more question."
Shikanoin Heizo smiled bitterly and touched the bruises on his body:
"I fainted for two days, and the bruises on my body haven't disappeared yet."
Ara Taki rolled his eyes impatiently:
"Then I'll let you ask two more questions."
Before she finished her words, the three people's attention was attracted by the movement outside the door.
There was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the door.
As the holders of the Eye of God, they were extremely sensitive to this sudden threat.
Arataki Ichito frowned:"You brought other people with you?!"
Arataki Ichito's reaction was more direct.
She quickly rushed forward and grabbed the collar of Shikanoin Heizo:
"You dare to set a trap for us?"
"No wonder he keeps asking, asking, asking!"
"So you want to divert our attention!"
Shinoin Heizo felt his neck being tightly bound by a force. (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
A suffocating feeling made him unable to breathe instantly, and he could only cough a series of rapid coughs.
He struggled to explain.
""Ahem, I didn't."
As Inazuma's famous detective, Shikanoin Heizo possesses an extraordinary memory.
On the verge of suffocation, his mind quickly replayed the scenes that happened today, linking all the information together.
"No wonder she asked me to go out and investigate the ghost tribe today. It turns out that she had been suspicious of me for a long time."
"Who is she?!"
Aratake Ichidou pulled his collar hard, and Shikanoin Heizo coughed again.
"Ahem, ahem, run quickly."
Shikanoin Heizo managed to squeeze out a sound, his face turning red due to lack of oxygen.
"He was the general of the shogunate army, Kujo Sara"
"She brought people with her."
Before Lu Yeyuan Heizo could finish his words, the door of the Aratake Sect was suddenly kicked open.[]
A tall woman walked in.
"Want to run?
We've been surrounded by the Tenryo Bugyo, where else do you want to run to?"
The woman had shoulder-length hair with a Crow Tengu mask on it.
Under her bangs were a pair of dark golden eyes that showed her determination.
She wore a black tight vest and a pure white cape made from a magic hunting robe, with a round gold ornament hanging from her neck.
The cobalt pattern of the Kujo family was printed on the sleeves of her arms.
The lower garment was printed with a gauze pattern.
The Eye of the Thunder Element God hung on her waist.���Kujo
Sara's eyes were as cold as a knife, slowly moving to Shikanoin Heizo.
She looked at her colleague's painful expression twisted by suffocation, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth, like a mockery, like disdain.
"Shikanoin Heizo"
"When the people of Tianling recommended you, I didn't think highly of you."
"You are a person who thinks too much and only puts your own preferences first"
"If it weren't for your meritorious service in solving cases, I would never have let you join the Tianling Fengxing"
"Facts have proved that I am still good at judging people."
"Did you just wake up and come here to report the news impatiently?"
"It's a pity that now it seems that others don't appreciate your kindness."
Aratake Ichidou suddenly loosened his hand from Shikanoin Heizo's collar, with a shocked expression on his face.
""Saro?!"
Due to the lack of oxygen, Shikanoin Heizo's body had become weak and powerless.
His body lost support and he staggered back a few steps before falling to the ground.
He knelt on the ground, breathing heavily.
Aratake Ichidou looked at Shikanoin Heizo's painful appearance and scratched his head.
"Ah, sorry, little guy,
I just thought you were a traitor, so I was anxious and used too much force."
Kujo Sara replied coldly
"He is indeed a traitor, a traitor to Tenryo Bugyo."
Aratake Ichidou looked at Kujo Sara's cold face with a complicated expression.
I didn't expect to run into an acquaintance here.
""That Sara, this must be a misunderstanding.
You are obviously not such an unreasonable person. Can you give us a chance to explain?"
Kujo Sara ignored the ghost who only called her by her name from the beginning and looked familiar with her, and turned his eyes to Shikanoin Heizo.
"Shikanoin Heizo, your actions have deviated from the laws followed by the Tenryo, and you will pay the price for your actions."
Shikanoin Heizo had recovered from the lack of oxygen and stood up straight.
Although he was facing the powerful Kujo Sara, there was no fear in his voice:
"Master Kujo, it's not what you think.
This Miss Aratake has a special identity.
Perhaps through her information, we can find a way to change Inazuma's current situation. I just..."
However, Kujo Sara did not give him a chance to explain.
She picked up the bow and arrow and aimed at him.
An arrow flashing with lightning suddenly shot out and rushed straight to Shikanoin Heizo's face, with a determination that could not be avoided:
"Inazuma doesn't need any changes. General Raiden's will is everything."
Arataki Ichizu and Arataki Ichito saw Kujo Sara start shooting arrows without saying anything, and they also took out their own weapons. Arataki
Ichizu held his weapon tightly, ready to fight:
"Leave Shaluo to me. Yidou, go and deal with those people outside the door first."
""Okay!"
Aratake Ichito responded briefly, and his figure quickly moved to the door, ready to face the influx of Tenryo Bugyo soldiers.
""Alas,"
Shikanoin Heizo couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene.
He found that he sighed more and more frequently since he met Ara Taki Itzu.
It seemed that there were always all kinds of unexpected emergencies around her.
However, Kujo Sara didn't leave him too much time to sigh.
She attacked with lightning speed.
The bowstring in her hand sounded, and arrows were like raindrops with thunder and lightning, densely and fiercely attacking Ara Taki Itzu and Shikanoin Heizo.
Each arrow was like thunder, not only full of The powerful force and amazing speed fully demonstrated Kujo Sara's strength as the general of the Heavenly Realm.
She attacked without hesitation or mercy, and each shot was accurately aimed at the opponent's vital points.
Seeing this, Ara Taki Ichidou quickly swung her club.
The power of the rock element surged, forming a solid protective wall.
The lightning arrow hit the club, making a deafening roar.
Zhuang Qi had already realized in the last role-playing mission that the strength of the characters in this world is not simply based on the martial arts in the original game. The strength of the characters is multi-dimensional, including their background stories, experiences, and inner strength.
Just like Qin and Yae Shenzi, two five-star characters, although they seem to be at the same level in the game rating, when playing, Zhuang Qi can clearly feel the disparity in strength between the two. Yae Shenzi not only has the"Bai Chen bloodline", but also has experienced countless battles for five hundred years.
Her combat experience, bloodline power, and years of accumulated elemental power constitute her unparalleled strength.
In contrast, although Qin is gifted and became a Dandelion Knight at a young age, she is still unable to match Yae Shinko in this regard.
Now, although Zhuang Qi's [Ara Taki Ito] is a five-star character with a formidable ghost bloodline.
However, he is facing Kujo Sara, who also has Tengu bloodline and rich combat experience.
Even if she is only a four-star character, her strength should not be underestimated.
When Kujo Sara's arrow left the string, Zhuang Qi realized that his [Ara Taki Ito] might lose in this duel..
