Chapter 190: The Stowaway Capricorn Attacks

"I..."

Akiyama Xiaoxing didn't know what to say for a moment; even if this was just an illusory comfort, she felt it was very important to her.

Because no one had ever said this to her.

Wen Xishu, at this time, also didn't know the specific situation.

He only knew that his sequence's negative effect was that emotional agitation would expose his inner thoughts, appearing in the form of bullet comments.

So he had to be relatively calm about everything.

But correspondingly, he also had a more powerful ability to observe others.

And Akiyama Xiaoxing's negative effect was constantly enduring pain, and those around her would be more willing to inflict pain on her.

Even Corruptors who couldn't use violence could use violence on her.

Such a negative effect was destined to create a person who was extremely unfortunate and extremely prone to dying young...

But what if this person's will wasn't twisted by misfortune, and what if this person didn't die in misfortune?

Presumably, the end of all suffering would be dazzling.

"Regarding Immortal Sentian, do you have any intelligence you can tell us, Mr. Sakai?" This time, it was Wen Renjing who spoke.

Although Wen Xishu was very cruel, such things really required talent.

Perhaps the contrast in the bones of the islanders, that kind of inconsistency between appearance and reality...

Led to Sakai Shinichi only being wary of Wen Xishu, despite his cruelty.

Yet Sakai Shinichi had a kind of fear toward someone like Wen Renjing, who was beautiful enough to kill both men and women.

Especially after Wen Renjing opened the door and said those words to the hotel staff so casually...

How did those people believe it?

Wen Renjing said:

"I hope you, Mr. Sakai, can do some good things. Although this doesn't fit the essence of corruption, you know our methods."

"Please don't force me to get angry. Tell us some valuable intelligence this time, instead of just saying things casually like you did to Xiaoxing."

"With your characteristics as a Corruptor, you should have investigated an existence like Immortal Sentian, and perhaps even had the thought of corrupting and eroding him, right?"

Wen Renjing wore a smile, his eyes squinting into slits.

Wen Xishu couldn't help but think... this senior really understands. Intentionally smiling so stereotypically.

In many islander comics, squinty eyes are described as monsters.

The more someone's eyes squint into a slit when they smile, the more unfathomable and terrifying their strength is.

Clearly, Wen Renjing knew this too.

Sakai Shinichi didn't dare to hide anything; many of his own clients were the "gentlemanly scumbag" type, the more gentlemanly they were on the surface, the more violent and perverted they were toward their pets in private.

"Immortal Sentian... I have indeed investigated him."

It had to be said that this man with a gorgeous face had indeed guessed his thoughts.

Immortal Sentian, what an interesting object to toy with. As a Corruptor, if one could corrupt such a person, how interesting would that be?

"I did try to control him; after all, I have cyclic memories."

"But I couldn't get close to him. Every time I had such a thought, I would have a kind of... very dangerous premonition."

"After experiencing several cycles, I was convinced that my premonition would be very, very accurate."

"I also hired killers, but without exception, the killers all committed suicide."

"Anyone who wanted to bring misfortune to Immortal Sentian would be eroded by misfortune!"

"Immortal Sentian is an absolute lucky child."

"Of course, I also tried to find those who had been treated by Immortal Sentian and whose lives had become lucky."

"For example, there was a girl whose hair was said to be very sparse before, but now she has a head of beautiful hair."

Akiyama Xiaoxing didn't expect to hear the story of that girl. She remembered in the chat group, she had even seen that girl's photo.

She was indeed a very beautiful girl with a head of hair like in a comic.

So from that time on... the Manager, Sakai Shinichi, had already noticed?

A person like Sakai knew far more intelligence than imagined.

Sakai Shinichi said:

"I could make this girl feel pain. My subordinates cut her hair and also left wounds on her body."

"In other words, Immortal Sentian can make people happy, but these people can all experience misfortune a second time."

"Only Immortal Sentian..."

"Only he is absolute happiness. If something were to eventually cause him harm, this thing would definitely be very difficult to achieve."

Wen Xishu frowned.

This was truly, as the senior said, conceptual-level power. In other words, Sakai Shinichi and Morita Yu were not on the same level.

Morita Yu was a parasite.

Most people went to Morita Hitomi to take away a certain part of their misfortune.

For example—

A person with a broken leg gains a leg.

A person with bad luck gains good luck.

A person with hair loss gains beautiful hair.

Their misfortune is obvious, so it's all treating the symptoms. But correspondingly, if these people encounter other levels of misfortune, it can also happen.

In other words—their happy lives have blind spots and breakthrough points.

Only Morita Yu, he constantly sucked blood from Morita Hitomi, letting Morita Hitomi swallow all his misfortune on various levels.

In this way, Morita Yu's happiness had no blind spots and no breakthrough points.

Bad luck couldn't swallow him, disease couldn't erode him, poverty couldn't touch him, and disaster couldn't befall him.

How could such a person be killed?

"He is now top-tier in appearance, knowledge, physical condition, and even connections, wealth, and luck..."

Sakai Shinichi said with considerable wariness:

"I can't think of a way to kill him. I don't dare to offend such a heaven-chosen person."

Even Corruptors didn't dare to offend him, which showed how strong Morita Yu's performance was.

Wen Xishu only felt it was somewhat ironic.

District 19, District 20...

Two adjacent districts gave birth to a heaven-chosen one and a heaven-abandoned one.

Wen Renjing said:

"So we cannot take Morita Hitomi away, because Morita Hitomi himself is also bound by his own power."

"Because leaving that room, Morita Hitomi would feel that it would cause trouble for his brother."

"And such a thing, he does not allow to happen."

"And regardless of what the outside world says, even if someone put the truth in front of Morita Hitomi, Morita Hitomi would still believe his brother."

Wen Xishu nodded:

"Yes, it seems this parasite is more troublesome than a Corruptor."

Akiyama Xiaoxing lowered her head silently after hearing these words.

She understood now; in fact, she had understood long ago, but now she was even more certain.

In Hitomi's heart, he must be longing to let her obtain happiness.

His promises made time and time again were not empty words, nor were they to tease her.

He really wanted to come.

But he had long ago handed his fate to the person who used him.

Morita Yu.

Absolutely cannot forgive him. Absolutely not!

Compared to enduring suffering, Akiyama Xiaoxing at least lived in a real world.

But thinking of Morita Hitomi, she felt very uncomfortable.

Imprisoned in a dark room, seeing no sunlight, fantasizing that he was loved by everyone, yet being treated as a ghost that everyone avoided by countless people.

Thinking his life was happy, yet there wasn't even one person around him who cared about him.

"I... I want to save him. Please... save him." Akiyama Xiaoxing couldn't help but plead.

Wen Renjing felt moved in his heart.

No wonder the two regions merged. Such two children, both born in suffering and unable to take care of themselves, were still willing to save others.

"We will. We will go save him."

At this moment, Sakai Shinichi suddenly said:

"You have already been to see the 'ghost'?"

Wen Xishu said:

"So what if we have?"

Sakai Shinichi shook his head and said:

"Then you must be careful... powerful causality will definitely swallow you."

"Morita Yu will definitely know that someone has looked for the 'ghost'."

Wen Xishu corrected:

"I'll say it only once, that is not a ghost, that is his younger brother, Morita Hitomi."

Sakai Shinichi was already obedient and immediately changed his words:

"Alright... it is his younger brother, he will definitely shift his target."

"Even, he will make a wish. He will view you as his misfortune, and in this way... when misfortune is swallowed by the ghost... no, by his younger brother, then you will be in a dangerous situation."

"You may never find him."

Multiple areas of Hujiang suddenly began to have heavy rain.

At the end of March, it was actually very difficult to see this kind of torrential rain that only existed in summer.

People on the street were panicked; when they looked up at the sky, they only felt as if the end of the world was coming.

Just a short while ago...

Immortal Sentian—Morita Yu, in his mansion, asked Morita Hitomi a question.

"Brother, tell me, while I was away, did anyone come to look for you?"

"Yes."

Intuition told Morita Hitomi that those two people were good people.

But as long as Morita Yu asked, Morita Hitomi would definitely answer honestly.

"Brother, that will make me unfortunate; I need those two people to disappear."

"You look... like your state has improved a bit... oh no, it has regressed; you were about to become a Heavenly Eye God, but now, you are more like a human again."

"Don't disappoint me, okay?"

Morita Hitomi's heart was very sad; when he saw the disgust and disdain on his brother's face, he immediately realized he had done something wrong.

"I'm sorry... brother, next time if someone comes, I will drive them away."

Morita Yu was very satisfied with Morita Hitomi's attitude:

"I have to move you. Before that, I have already given birth to misfortune; I need you to swallow my misfortune. My life cannot have stains and losses. Brother, we are going to benefit the world together."

"We are very important, understand?"

Morita Hitomi nodded, then touched Morita Yu with his small hand.

Those black auras began to slowly gather together, surging toward Morita Hitomi.

Morita Hitomi's appearance began to rapidly change toward the indescribable. Originally, because of the liquid brought by Wen Xishu, he had returned to a human outline, but now—

He once again became a ball of darkness that made people afraid.

"Brother..."

His voice became mournful; the sound of countless men's and women's grievances made even Morita Yu somewhat afraid.

"You promised me, we are going to save Xiaoxing, right?"

Once again, Morita Hitomi put forward his request.

This time, Morita Yu made another attempt:

"What if I tell you that that girl will make me unfortunate?"

Morita Hitomi was silent for a few seconds, then slowly shook his head.

"No, brother, your happiness is my happiness... then the reverse should be the same."

"I want Xiaoxing to be happy... brother, you promised me, you would never deceive me, right?"

Morita Yu felt some disgust in his heart.

Why?

Always unable to let him let go of that prostitute named Akiyama Xiaoxing.

He certainly knew where Akiyama Xiaoxing was, and also knew who was controlling Akiyama Xiaoxing.

But he didn't bother to communicate with these people.

Morita Yu wanted to erase it time and time again, wanted to let Morita Hitomi make a choice between Akiyama Xiaoxing and himself, forcing Morita Hitomi to give up that prostitute.

But time and time again, he failed.

Damn it, is that woman some special existence?

"Of course I won't deceive you, my good brother, I am contacting her. Don't worry, as long as you listen to me, you will definitely see her."

"She will definitely live very happily."

Once again, Morita Yu used the stalling tactic.

Following the swallowing of Morita Yu's latest "misfortune"...

Wen Xishu and Wen Renjing in the hotel also felt a kind of atmosphere of a coming storm.

The storm lashed against the hotel windows.

This made the citizens of Hujiang couldn't help but think, could it be that an earthquake and tsunami were coming?

But soon...

The dark clouds dispersed, and the gloomy, gray sky slowly became bright again. The sun appeared once more, shining on the riddled city.

The extreme weather that felt like a mountain storm collapsing the city suddenly disappeared.

"Things outside aren't quite right. I always feel it's very strange," Wen Renjing said.

Not long ago, Sakai Shinichi said that as misfortune was swallowed by the ghost, their situation would become dangerous.

Immediately after, signs of suspected severe weather appeared.

But suddenly, everything dissipated.

Just like some eerie, hidden existence, making a grand entrance, yet instantly hiding away.

Wen Xishu, who had swallowed Arnold's finger, suddenly realized something at this moment.

He suddenly turned his head and looked out the window.

Just like many exaggerated plots in movies—the prey, through their line of sight, captured the sniper who was about to hunt them.

On a building a hundred meters away, someone's gaze met Wen Xishu's for an instant.

A killer?

A killer arranged by Morita Yu?

No... not something so superficial.

Wen Xishu only felt a huge sense of oppression suddenly strike.

The next instant, even Wen Renjing felt it, a kind of suffocating pressure.

Gone.

Wen Xishu suddenly discovered that the person he was staring at in his line of sight was gone.

And the next second, a somewhat damp scent, as if coming from a distant coastline, drifted into the room.

A decadent-looking noble youth holding a guitar, wearing a ten-gallon hat and a deep red jacket, appeared.

"What a lively scene, I didn't expect there to be so many people here."

"Apologies, I don't like Gemini's eyes and ears beside me. For the upcoming conversation, you have to die for a moment."

The youth made a gun-shooting gesture.

The next instant, a blood hole appeared on Sakai Shinichi's forehead.

The Corruptor Sakai Shinichi, dead.

Just in the blink of an eye, the other party arrived like a teleportation and killed the Corruptor in a ghostly manner.

This made Wen Xishu and Wen Renjing face a formidable enemy.

If this were Immortal Sentian's method, this intensity would be too overpowered.

But soon, Wen Xishu realized that things were not that simple.

This person's arrival didn't have much to do with Immortal Sentian.

The youth took off his hat, revealing a head of blonde hair:

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Capricorn, and I am a boatman."

Hearing it was Capricorn, Wen Xishu felt shocked.

Wen Renjing also rarely couldn't maintain his inner calmness.

But soon, Wen Xishu was certain that Immortal Sentian didn't have such great ability.

At most... it could be considered that Immortal Sentian stirred up a small splash, which just happened to attract the attention of some behemoth.

Morita Yu might hope that he and Wen Renjing would disappear, and presumably, there really were killers on the way.

But I'm afraid Morita Yu himself didn't expect... there was another kind of disappearance.

Wen Xishu asked:

"What does boatman mean?"

Capricorn smiled:

"There is a sea between realms, and I am the one who can help people cross the sea."

"You have changed many causalities in a certain world, and even... you are about to change a very large causality."

"Seeing you frequently going from your own world to another world to intervene in causality, it would be better to directly become a permanent resident of that world."

"So, I am here to ask you, are you interested in going to another world forever?"
