Chapter 23

Great, I found it.

Ma Sheng Hui fiercely kissed the bag in her hand several times; she never expected to retrieve the ixa so easily.

Saying that, she took the ixa Gauntlet out of the bag; as the ixa Gauntlet was pulled out, the small slip of paper that Jiang Xia had casually slipped inside also fell to the ground.

What is this?

Ma Sheng Hui picked it up, held it carefully in her hand, and saw that a few large characters were written in black ink:

"We've taken the ixa's data; we're very pleased to begin cooperation with your Supreme Blue Sky Society,"

Ma Sheng Hui glanced at it, nodded, and said:

"Mr. Dao Hu, yes, I even took back the bag as well."

Saying that, she continued to enjoy this moment of ease.

"These bastards!" Ma Sheng Hui cursed under her breath; no wonder it was so easy to retrieve—it turned out to have been arranged all along.

"Cunzai, do you still remember demon?"

Dacun Wunan felt a question slowly rising in his heart: why didn't you just capture me directly for the bounty?

Of course, he asked that as well.

I will use our own ixa to properly repay your Supreme Blue Sky Society; as for your ixa, I'll just return it to you—no need to thank me, haha.

Don't you want to see Hong Du, or find out what work he finally produced?

Wait until one day, when Minggo Qijie is fighting the Tooth Blood Vampire, he suddenly transforms and fiercely scares him.

However, Jiang Xia doesn't have such a nasty sense of humor; he left long ago.

"Using a Tooth Blood Vampire to fight a Tooth Blood Vampire—does such a method really exist?" Ma Sheng Hui asked curiously.

These bastards surely know there's a tracker inside; they deliberately tossed it here and then waited for whoever would come looking.

"The information written here seems true, because I have a good friend who is indeed researching the power of the Tooth Blood Vampire,"

Upon hearing that it wasn't preparing to attack him or come to kill him, Dacun Wunan relaxed a bit.

……

This makes one feel happy; who let him disturb my treatment of Dacun Wunan?

"That's right, I said so, and I still hold that view now." Dao Hu picked up the ixa on the table and continued speaking,

Speaking of which, a cute smiley face was also drawn on the back of the slip.

But kiva is different—humans simply cannot transform, or rather, our bodies are too weak to withstand kiva's power.

The information written above was too shocking; although she knew there was more than one organization fighting the Tooth Blood Vampire, she never expected someone to turn their attention to the ixa they had developed.

Although the ixa has been retrieved, we still need to examine it thoroughly to see what it has gone through these past days.

Ma Sheng Hui continued reading downward; the slip was very small, leaving only the final passage:

"No wonder Mr. Dao Hu asked Minggo Qijie to defeat demon, because demon has never been human from the start." Ma Sheng Hui said, suddenly realizing.

"Go find Minggo Qijie; he should be in the hospital now, let him catch a glimpse of your face unintentionally, put on an act,

let yourself be caught; that guy is a bounty hunter who donates all his rewards to poor children, so this is a good opportunity for you to atone for your repeated assaults."

"You mean, let me pretend to be caught, so that Minggo Qijie can receive the bounty donation?"

Dao Hu said helplessly, "I just didn't expect them to set their sights on the ixa that had just been finished improving."

Moreover, they've captured quite a few Tooth Blood Vampires and secretly want to study how to use them against Tooth Blood Vampires, so the person who took Minggo's ixa could very well be an organization we humans ourselves set up.

The data you stored in the ixa has sped up our research by leaps and bounds; your Supreme Blue Sky Society can truly be called benefactors of all humanity.

"Xiao Hui, remember, monsters are always monsters; even if they look like humans, it's merely a disguise." Dao Hu said firmly.

Although she didn't know what had happened, Ma Sheng Hui, seeing Dao Hu's pained expression, involuntarily nodded: "I understand; I will defeat kiva."

Wait, those people probably aren't nearby laughing at me, right? Ma Sheng Hui decisively raised the ixa Gauntlet in her hand and kept scanning the surroundings.

"According to your crimes, you'll at least have to spend ten years in prison; are you sure you can endure it? If you can, your cellmates probably can't."

"What is this?!" Ma Sheng Hui stared, shocked, at the information left above.

"Why, the ixa isn't the one I retrieved?" Ma Sheng Hui looked at Dao Hu before her, unable to believe such cold words could come from his mouth.

"Minggo is merely hospitalized for observation; I never said I would deprive him of the right to wear the ixa."

"No, kiva should still be left to Minggo to deal with."

This is an abandoned site, with many unwanted things dumped here—perfect for hiding people.

He is currently lounging in Hong Du's living room, having just eaten, and doesn't really feel like moving.

"Before long, I believe our ixa will soon be born,"

"Now I'll tell you some good news: you can atone for the crime you committed by repeatedly hurting people." Jiang Xia spoke concisely.

Moreover, through this, I believe Minggo will certainly recognize his own shortcomings." Dao Hu packed the slip and the ixa together.

Wait, this time wasn't it the Tooth Blood Vampire that snatched the ixa? Could they be using the Tooth Blood Vampire's power as well?

All I saw was his whole body trembling as he took off his earphones and carefully answered the call from Jiang Xia.

"Xiao Hui, are you sure this thing was found together with the ixa?" Dao Hu placed the slip with the message and the ixa together on the table.

Meanwhile, Dacun Wunan, who was in the room listening to a recording of Hong Yin's performance, saw the incoming call on his phone and almost threw the phone away.

"The ixa has undergone multiple improvements, its side effects greatly reduced, so now Minggo can use it to fight the Tooth Blood Vampire,"

and you can likewise use the ixa against the Tooth Blood Vampire; even if you find a Tooth Blood Vampire, it can similarly transform into an ixa.

"Yes." Dao Hu's mood instantly grew heavy; the huge scar on his back seemed to begin aching faintly again.

Jiang Xia hung up the phone, looking at the wanted poster of Dacun Wunan, and muttered to himself:

"Good thing you haven't killed anyone, and you haven't absorbed human life force for twenty years; out of respect for Hong Du, I'll give you one chance."

Immediately afterward, Jiang Xia revealed his plan.

As for him leaving this slip, it's really useless—just giving the ixa in his hand a plausible identity.

"Remember, isn't it said that one day he'll become, aside from the Tooth Blood Vampire, humanity's greatest enemy?"

"You are a Tooth Blood Vampire; figure out how to get out yourself, then leave this place, just like that, goodbye."

"Immediately, Jiang Xia picked up his phone and dialed Omura Takeo's number."

"'How to make up for it, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it.' Omura Takeo took a deep breath and promised."

"By the way, thinking about this, Jiang Xia suddenly remembered something: Omura Takeo had already planned to leave Japan, and it was just in the past few days."

"In the end, I still couldn't transform into IXA, what should I do, Mom."

"'You said your father once fought alongside you using IXA, but in the end your daughter doesn't even have the qualifications to transform.' Ma Sheng Hui said with a self-mocking tone."
