CHAPTER 599: CRYSTALLIZATION IN HAND

Although Liu Xing currently has no intention of causing trouble for the Kamo family, after all, the Kamo family is a powerful family that has been passed down for hundreds of years in the Island Nation, so their strength cannot be underestimated.

Moreover, this is a parallel world under the background of Cthulhumyth, and a family like the Kamo family, which is a Yin Yang Master family, must have some special abilities. Furthermore, due to the good relationship between Kamo Tadayuki and Abe Seimei, the relationship between the Kamo family and the Abe family is also excellent, so if one wants to deal with the Kamo family now, it will inevitably provoke the Abe family.

So for the Kamo family, this "enemy", Liu Xing’s current idea is very simple, that is, "a gentleman takes revenge, even if it takes ten years", this grudge can be left until after the "Public-Military Conflict" begins, after all, the Kamo family should join the Public Faction, while his group will definitely join the Warrior Faction.

At that time, soldier against soldier, general against general, a family like the Kamo family, which is a Yin Yang Master family, will definitely be dispatched to deal with his secret cult members.

However, Liu Xing feels that his relationship with Hashi Motojun and others is becoming more and more awkward.

So, should he take the opportunity to kill the Soul-Eater Demon and also kill Hashi Motojun and the others?

After all, Hashi Motojun and the others have already gained a certain understanding of his group, so when they join the Public Faction later, they will most likely pass on his group’s information to the Kamo family.

"Let’s go, Ryuusei, what are you thinking about now?" Zhang Jingxu spoke up.

Liu Xing snapped out of his thoughts and shook his head, saying, "Nothing, I just suddenly remembered what the Kamo family is all about, and I hope that Kamo Nobunaga can be a good teacher."

Liu Xing deliberately emphasized the three words "good teacher".

Of course, Zhang Jingxu could hear the underlying meaning in Liu Xing’s words, so he sighed and said, "That’s right, for us who follow our teachers to learn the art, the quality of the teacher can be said to have a great influence on our lives, because after we graduate, we have to fight for our lives. If the teacher doesn’t teach well or completely, we disciples may be doomed when we carry out our first mission alone. But I think the most important thing is the teacher’s stance. I once had a very good friend, his ability was even higher than mine, but because his teacher, although his strength was not bad, his character was not good, so after a series of events, he betrayed the China Dao Sect and joined a secret cult, and my friend was also forced to join that secret cult, and in the end, he and his teacher were both killed by the pursuers sent by the China Dao Sect."

Liu Xing nodded and said seriously, "That’s right, for us, the teacher largely determines the future of the disciple, so we should still remind Hashi Motojun not to choose the wrong teacher. After all, this Kamo Nobunaga is taking Hashi Motojun as a disciple because of a bet with a friend, so I think this Kamo Nobunaga may not be a reliable teacher. Most likely, Kamo Nobunaga will choose to let Hashi Motojun graduate or expel him from the sect after the bet is over in a year, because for a Yin Yang Master, a year is really too short a time, and he can’t learn much."

"That’s right, after we deal with the Soul-Eater Demon, let’s go find Hashi Motojun and have a good chat with him. Although the times have changed and many sects have changed a lot of rules, when it comes to taking disciples, many people will only take disciples who have not been apprenticed before, unless the person’s talent is very high. So if Hashi Motojun becomes Kamo Nobunaga’s disciple, he will almost certainly not be able to find another teacher in the future," Zhang Jingxu said in a very cooperative manner.

After finishing the discussion about Hashi Motojun, Liu Xing’s group came to an old apartment building next to Tokyo Comprehensive University. This apartment building was originally one of the earliest dormitories of Tokyo Comprehensive University, but later, due to the university’s planning, this dormitory was too far away from the other buildings of the university, and there was a major road in between, so Tokyo Comprehensive University simply sold this dormitory, and it was then converted into an apartment building.

However, since this apartment building was originally a dormitory, the rooms in the building are relatively small, so only some single students would choose to rent here, or turn it into a place to hold small parties, because Tokyo Comprehensive University is still managed quite strictly, and if you make a lot of noise in the school dormitory, you can be disciplined.

So when Liu Xing and the others entered this apartment building, they could vaguely hear all kinds of music.

"This place is a bit noisy, I wonder if the Soul-Eater Demon will be scared away when it comes in," Ming Hanxing said with some concern.

Zhang Jingxu shook his head and smiled, saying, "About this, Teacher Ming, you can rest assured. The Soul-Eater Demon is not as fragile as we imagine, it won’t leave just because of a little noise, unless the sound reaches a level that it can’t bear, otherwise it won’t choose to leave."

At this moment, Hashi Motojun sent a text message to Zhang Jingxu, saying that he and Yamada Tatsuo and the others had lured the Soul-Eater Demon out, and it would arrive here in about 15 minutes.

So Liu Xing and the others went into their own room and turned on the only thing in the room - a huge LCD screen.

And the image on this LCD screen was naturally the image of Hashi Motojun’s room next door.

After a while, Hashi Motojun and the others brought the Soul-Eater Demon into the room across the hall.

At this time, the Soul-Eater Demon, having completely mastered the new body, looked no different from a normal person, but as professional experts, Liu Xing and the others could still see that the Soul-Eater Demon was still a bit stiff in its movements, as if there was a delay.

Fortunately, the Soul-Eater Demon still hasn’t realized that it has fallen into a trap, so it is still chatting and laughing with Hashi Motojun and the others.

Then Hashi Motojun used the reason Zhang Jingxu had taught him earlier to smoothly close the doors and windows, turning the room into a private room.

Everything is already prepared.

At this time, Hashi Motojun made a gesture of stroking his chin.

This was the pre-arranged secret signal with Zhang Jingxu. Whenever everything was ready, Hashi Motojun would make this gesture within the range of the monitor, and then Zhang Jingxu would activate the high-decibel speaker in the room.

For safety’s sake, the device to activate the high-decibel speaker was in Zhang Jingxu’s hands, because if it was left to Hashi Motojun and the others to activate the speaker, there was a high chance of it being discovered by the Soul-Eater Demon, as the Soul-Eater Demon, being a mythical creature, has excellent observation abilities.

"I will start activating the high-decibel speaker now, everyone get ready. If the speaker can’t take care of the Soul-Eater Demon, then we’ll have to go in and fight it head-on. And Ryuusei, you and Ling Ishikawa go guard the door of Hashi Motojun’s room, so that the neighbors don’t come over because of the noise, because we need to ensure the Soul-Eater Demon endures at least 30 seconds of noise bombardment," Zhang Jingxu said seriously.

Liu Xing and Ling Ishikawa nodded and went out wearing sunglasses.

Then Zhang Jingxu pressed the button to activate the high-decibel speaker.

At the same time, a sound of dice hitting the floor was heard.

Then, an ear-piercing noise suddenly erupted.

Even through the soundproofed door, Liu Xing still found the noise to be very jarring, and he felt very uncomfortable.

And as expected, Liu Xing found that some of the attribute and skill values on his character card interface had been temporarily reduced by two or three points.

At this time, agonizing cries of the Soul-Eater Demon could also be heard from the room.

But just as Zhang Jingxu had guessed, "greetings" from the neighbors started coming from all directions, and even a few aggressive-looking young people came out of the neighboring room.

These young people had dyed hair, piercings, and it was obvious they were some low-level hoodlums.

After all, in the Island Nation where criminal organizations are part of the legal industry, the ordinary members of criminal organizations nowadays basically all wear suits and ties, and they don’t even dye their hair casually, looking just like office workers.

As for dealing with these low-level hoodlums, Liu Xing and Ling Ishikawa didn’t want to say much to them, they just showed them the handguns at their waists.

Those originally aggressive-looking hoodlums, upon seeing the handguns at Liu Xing and Ling Ishikawa’s waists, and hearing the agonizing cries coming from the room they were guarding, immediately imagined a scene from a typical gangster novel, and then obediently went back to their own rooms, and on the way back, they even gave Liu Xing and Ling Ishikawa a proper 90-degree bow.

Liu Xing couldn’t help but shrug his shoulders, not expecting these hoodlums to be so cowardly that they would behave so meekly at the sight of a gun.

But speaking of which, Liu Xing still wants to complain a bit about the "bowing culture" in the Island Nation, because in Liu Xing’s impression, the Island Nation can bow at any time, especially when apologizing.

To a certain extent, apologizing in the Island Nation has become synonymous with bowing.

If bowing is useful, then what’s the point of having police officers?

While Liu Xing was lost in his thoughts, the noise in the room finally stopped.

Liu Xing and Ling Ishikawa exchanged a glance and then directly drew their handguns and rushed into the room - because the last one to enter the room was Yamada Tatsuo, who had deliberately left the door unlocked.

And at this point, the Soul-Eater Demon was lying on the ground, unable to move. As for Hashi Motojun and the others, they weren’t doing much better either. Although they had put on soundproof earplugs the moment the high-decibel speaker was turned on, the decibel level was simply too high, so they were still affected to a certain extent.

Liu Xing patted Ling Ishikawa’s shoulder, and Ling Ishikawa understood and went forward to help Hashi Motojun and the others up, giving them a small pill that Zhang Jingxu had prepared earlier, which could have a calming and focusing effect.

As for Liu Xing, he carefully approached the Soul-Eater Demon and pried open its mouth, because when the Soul-Eater Demon died in the host body, it would form a Soul-Eater Demon crystal in the host’s mouth.

And at this moment, a pure white crystal had already appeared in the Soul-Eater Demon’s mouth.

At the same time, the information about the Soul-Eater Demon crystal also appeared in Liu Xing’s mind, with an effect similar to what Liu Xing had known before, able to directly increase the wearer’s willpower attribute value, but the specific increase would vary from person to person, though it would be at least 5 points or more.

Liu Xing couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, the Soul-Eater Demon matter has finally come to an end, and the Soul-Eater Demon crystal has also been successfully obtained.

Liu Xing carefully put the Soul-Eater Demon crystal in his pocket, then took out his mobile phone and dialed HonekawaSuneo’s number.

Liu Xing had already discussed with OkoHayato earlier, so now HonekawaSuneo just needs to take the Soul-Eater Demon’s body away, then stage a car accident tonight, and then hand it over to OkoHayato to handle.

So after Liu Xing’s group took Hashi Motojun and the others out of the room, the people sent by HonekawaSuneo entered the room and took the body away in a suitcase.

However, at the bottom of the apartment building, due to the previous noise and the Soul-Eater Demon’s agonizing cries, someone had called the police, but fortunately, the police officer certificates that OkoHayato had arranged for Liu Xing’s group were on them, so they were able to dismiss the police officers by claiming they were on an investigation.

After sending Hashi Motojun and the others to a nearby hospital for treatment, Liu Xing’s group went home.

In the living room, the Soul-Eater Demon crystal was placed on the table.

Now the question remains, how should this Soul-Eater Demon crystal be distributed?

As mentioned before, this Soul-Eater Demon crystal is priceless to the players of the Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall, because the Soul-Eater Demon crystal is a very rare and extremely effective item.

But now there is only this one Soul-Eater Demon crystal, and it is unlikely that they will obtain four more in the future.

So now Liu Xing’s group has fallen silent, because they all want to get this Soul-Eater Demon crystal, but they don’t know how to speak up, or how to persuade the others to hand over this Soul-Eater Demon crystal to them.

Firstly, in the process of obtaining this Soul-Eater Demon crystal, Liu Xing’s group basically didn’t contribute much, so there is no one whose contribution is the greatest; secondly, the value of this Soul-Eater Demon crystal is too high, and if they get it, they have no way to compensate the others, after all, it’s still the old saying, the Cthulhu RPG Game is a game of life and death, and items like the Soul-Eater Demon crystal that can enhance one’s survival ability are priceless.

In this way, after 10 minutes of silence, Liu Xing’s group unanimously got up and left.

Because Liu Xing’s group had reached an unspoken consensus, that is, they will determine the distribution of this Soul-Eater Demon crystal during the next Private Room session.
