Chapter 509

"How are they doing?" Lingyun asked Luo Yexi, who was beside him, while rapidly grading documents in his office.

"They should all be in the bathhouse now. Don't worry, the hot spring in the bathhouse was personally prepared by you; suppressing the Gastrea Virus in those girls' bodies is not a difficult task," Luo Yexi said.

"Right, send the new injection I developed to those girls who have reached the Boundary, and by the way..." Lingyun set a document aside and said to Luo Yexi.

"By the way, record how much the erosion rate of the Gastrea can be reduced this time, how long it lasts, and what kind of final effect can be achieved, right?" Luo Yexi continued.

"Yes, that's exactly it." Lingyun nodded.

"By the way, Lingyun, this invitation..." Luo Yexi shook the invitation in her hand. "It seems to have been sent by Seitenshi, the nominal ruler of the Tokyo Area..."

"If it were before, I might have gone to see what tricks that old guy Tendo Kikunojo is playing, but I'm not in the mood for that now. Just decline it for me!" Lingyun waved his hand while placing the last document on the table.

"I understand." With a flick of Luo Yexi's hand, the exquisite invitation turned to ashes in her grip.

"Let's go see those children now!" Lingyun grabbed the trench coat from his chair and draped it over himself.

In the small town, there was a huge bathhouse, a place that could be considered one of the most important spots in the town. It was also the favorite place for all the Cursed Children in the town to visit, because as long as they entered this place, no matter how the Gastrea Virus in their bodies rioted, it would be suppressed.

Of course, this bathhouse only accepted Cursed Children, and the vast majority of people working in the bathhouse were also Cursed Children. Aside from the Cursed Children, the only people who could enter this bathhouse were Lingyun and the girls around him. Well, except for a certain Nagato who forced her way in last time.

Inside the bathhouse, dozens of Cursed Children were bobbing up and down in the water, looking like they were having a lot of fun; they were the Cursed Children Lingyun had brought back to the town earlier.

The water in the bathhouse carried a faint white light, which was clearly not very obvious under the cover of the steam. In reality, the core of this bathhouse was an Array that Lingyun had placed underground, with a Purification Light Crystal as its center. The water of the bathhouse flowed through this Array, causing the water to carry the power of the Purification Light, which was the only way to suppress the Gastrea Virus within the Cursed Children. At the same time, this water was mixed with the essences of various medicinal herbs, which had a great restorative effect on the bodies of the Cursed Children.

When Nagato first came to this place, she thought it was a repair dock specifically for shipgirls like them, although all her attention was subsequently drawn away by the little lolis in the bathhouse.

"Big sister, big sister, you said we could live here from now on, is that true?" A little girl splashed water and swam to Xiaona's side.

"That's right, this place is the Hope Land built by big brother for us Cursed Children. As long as you are a Cursed Child, you can live here!" Xiaona poked her head out of the water and nodded at the girl.

"Is this small town the legendary Hope Land?" A glimmer of joy flashed in the little girl's eyes.

"Yes!" Xiaona said with a face full of pride. "This place was personally built by big brother!"

Xiaona was actually the first Cursed Child Lingyun met after arriving in this world, which was why she could become the recognized big sister of all the Cursed Children in the town.

Tokyo Area, District 1, Seikyo.

"What, you say Mr. Lingyun refused to meet with me?" Seitenshi looked at the big screen in front of her with a look of surprise.

The person appearing on the big screen was none other than Luo Yexi. With a proper smile on her face, she spoke slowly to Seitenshi: "I am very sorry, Master just returned from the International Initiator Supervising Organization not long ago, and now our town has accepted another batch of severely injured Cursed Children. Master is currently treating them and I am afraid he does not have time to meet with you."

"Severely injured, what is the situation?" Seitenshi asked with an anxious look.

"Those children were rescued by me from an organization that specializes in trafficking Cursed Children. They were all abused in the hands of those traffickers, and the situation is very serious." When Luo Yexi said this, a cold glint could not help but flash across the bottom of her eyes.

Even through the screen, Seitenshi still felt a chill in her body. But she asked hurriedly: "Then how are those children doing now?"

"With Master taking action, those children will naturally be fine!" Luo Yexi said.

"Then, where were these children found?" Seitenshi asked hurriedly.

"Osaka Area."

"Is that so? That's good!" Seitenshi breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"I must say, Your Excellency Seitenshi, you are truly too saintly, and you are also too reliant on Tendo Kikunojo. As the ruler of an area, you should have your own judgment, instead of always thinking about relying on others," Luo Yexi suddenly said to Seitenshi. "To be honest, I am not even sure now whether the ruler of the Tokyo Area is Seitenshi or Tendo Kikunojo!"

"This, this..." Hearing Luo Yexi's words, Seitenshi wanted to say something more, but Luo Yexi had already unilaterally cut off the communication.

"Ye Xi, was it necessary to say such harsh words to that little girl?" The figure of Busujima Saeko appeared behind Luo Yexi.

"Well, as the ruler of an area, she should also learn to grow, rather than becoming a vase, shouldn't she?" Luo Yexi shrugged and said.

"But if you say that to her, will she be able to know how she needs to grow?" Busujima Saeko asked.

"That's none of my business; after all, she doesn't have much to do with us. On the contrary, if she can grow up and cause obstacles for Tendo Kikunojo, I would definitely be happy to see it!" Luo Yexi said with an indifferent face. "Seriously, why does Master always leave this kind of diplomatic rhetoric to me? I am really not used to it!"

"Chen Jing and Wanyue have both gone into seclusion, otherwise they would be the most proficient at this kind of thing!" Luo Yexi stretched her body.

"Alright, let's set off now. We can leave the matters here to Akame and the other for the time being!" Busujima Saeko said.

"Yes, it's time to go and meet those traffickers!" Luo Yexi stood up, the Nine Suns Heavenly Sword appeared in her hand, and she strode outward.
