"She will definitely live a very happy life."
Once again, Morioka used delay tactics.
...
...
As Morioka’s latest "misfortune" was devoured...
Wen Xishu and Wenren Mirror, in the hotel, also felt a sense of impending storm.
The storm battered the hotel’s windows.
This made the citizens of Hujiang wonder, could an earthquake and tsunami be coming?
But soon...
The dark clouds dispersed, and the gloomy, dark sky gradually brightened. The sun reappeared, shining on the damaged city.
Like the extreme weather that seemed poised to destroy the city, it suddenly vanished.
"Something’s not right outside. It feels very strange," Wenren Mirror said.
A while ago, Sakai Shinichi had said that as soon as misfortune got devoured by the ghost, their situation would become dangerous.
Immediately after, signs of severe weather appeared.
But then suddenly, everything dissipated.
It was as if some eerie, hidden presence made a grand entrance, only to vanish in an instant.
At the moment Wen Xishu, who had devoured Arnold’s fingers, suddenly realized something.
He suddenly turned his head and looked out the window.
Just like an exaggerated scene in many movies— the prey, by sight, caught the sniper about to hunt them.
In a building a hundred meters away, someone’s gaze met Wen Xishu’s for a brief moment.
A killer?
A killer arranged by Morioka?
No... it’s not something that shallow.
Wen Xishu only felt an enormous sense of oppression coming down on him sharply.
The next instant, even Wenren Mirror felt a pressure that made it hard to breathe.
Gone.
Wen Xishu suddenly realized that the person he was staring at was gone.
And the next second, a slightly damp smell, seemingly from a distant coastline, wafted into the room.
A noble, slightly decadent young man, with a guitar in hand, a ten-gallon hat on his head, and wearing a deep crimson jacket, appeared.
"It’s so lively here, didn’t expect so many people."
"Sorry, I don’t like the ears and eyes of Pisces around me. For the upcoming conversation, you must die first."
The young man made a gun-firing gesture.
The next instant, a blood hole appeared on Sakai Shinichi’s forehead.
Sakai Shinichi, the Destroyer, dead.
In just that brief moment, the other party suddenly teleported in, ghost-like, and killed the Destroyer.
This put Wen Xishu and Wenren Mirror on high alert.
If this was Morioka Immortal’s doing, it’s too overwhelmingly powerful.
But soon, Wen Xishu realized that things were not that simple.
This person’s arrival didn’t have much to do with Morioka Immortal.
The young man removed his hat, revealing a head of blond hair:
"Let me introduce myself, I’m Capricorn, a ferryman."
At the mention of Capricorn, Wen Xishu was shocked.
Even Wenren Mirror, rarely, couldn’t keep his inner peace.
But soon, Wen Xishu was certain that Morioka Immortal didn’t have such power.
At best... Morioka Immortal stirred up a small splash, which happened to attract the attention of a behemoth.
Morioka probably hoped for Wen Xishu and Wenren Mirror to disappear, likely having a killer on the way.
But Morioka himself never imagined... there was another kind of disappearance.
Wen Xishu asked:
"What do you mean by ferryman?"
Capricorn smiled and said:
"There is a sea between worlds, and I’m the one who can help people cross that sea."
"You’ve changed a lot of causes and effects in one world, and even... you’re about to change a huge cause and effect."
"Seeing you frequently travel from your world to another to intervene in cause and effect, why not just become a permanent resident of that world."
"So, I’m here to ask if you’re interested in permanently traveling to another world."
