The heroine did appear. It appeared that she had interacted with Miss Tsukihime Kondo? Or, in other words, Tsukihime Kondo…
Mo Xiaofei frowned, thinking quickly about various possibilities, and finally decided to take a gamble. He then took a deep breath and said, “Mo Xiaofei!”
Tsukihime Kondo didn’t show the slightest change in expression.
“Windchaser?” Mo Xiaofei tried again.
But, Tsukihime Kondo’s expression remained unfazed, but she frowned, “I don’t know what you said, but obviously, this is not an answer to my question.”
Tsukihime Kondo shook her head and waved her hand directly, “Bring him out first and monitor him. Don’t let him escape.”
The samurai nodded immediately and then hurriedly asked, “Miss Tsukihime, about the Nagato family. After all, this person was caught in the Nagato family. The Nagato family must be involved!”
“Don’t alert them first.” Tsukihime Kondo said calmly, “You and Hidari-jubei [1] will investigate around. Hand this peeper to Ashigaru [2]. I will carry on the interrogation later.”
“Yes!”
Mo Xiaofei was carried away by the samurai of the Kondo family. He didn’t seem to be scared from the looks of it. Instead, he only appeared fatigued.
He was quickly taken to another room. The two Kondo’s Ashigaru kept him in close watch. However, the thought of fleeing was not in Mo Xiaofei’s mind. He just lay directly on the ground and closed his eyes.
Soon after, Mo Xiaofei heard the door opening sound and Tsukihime Kondo’s voice.
“You all head out first. I want to interrogate this captive myself.”
“But, Miss Tsukihime…”
“It’s fine. Tie him to the beam and render him immobile!”
“Yes!”
When Tsukihime Kondo approached Mo Xiaofei, he was already tied with a rope, completely immobile.
Tsukihime Kondo looked around and suddenly asked in a low volume, “Movie theater?”
Mo Xiaofei was unwilling to talk to this domineering miss. However, after hearing this, he opened his mouth and was quite excited, “You… Who are you!?”
“Are you Brother Mo… or Windchaser?”
“I’m Mo Xiaofei!”
“Certainly!” Zixing sighed at this moment, then looked back at the paper door behind her. She then cautiously squatted down, untied the rope on Mo Xiaofei, and whispered again, “Brother Mo, forgive me. Although these Kondo family samurais are obedient to me, I suspected them acting as surveillance. If I suddenly recognize you, it will inevitably be weird. You and I are trapped in this weird world. We need to be careful about everything until we figure out the truth!”
“I wasn’t cautious enough…” Mo Xiaofei shook his head with a wry smile and then sighed heavily, “I thought I would never meet an acquaintance again in my life.”
Zixing nodded. She had thoroughly felt the horror of suddenly becoming another person and in a bizarre world. She comforted him, “At least, we met each other. It only takes place for a few days. Brother Mo, please don’t worry too much. We will find a solution.”
Mo Xiaofei looked startled, “A few days? Do you know how many days I have been here?”
Zixing asked subconsciously, “How many days?”
Mo Xiaofei took a deep breath, “One year. I have been in this place for a whole year! Moreover, I have been stuck on the same day repeatedly. Do you know that?”
“How is this possible?!” Zixing was immediately shocked.
Mo Xiaofei said wearily, “But the facts are right in front of me. This year is like a nightmare that I will never wake up from until you appear. Do you know? On the same day of my reincarnation, this is the first time you have appeared here! I almost broke down. Otherwise, I won’t approach this place impulsively!”
Zixing was silent for a moment. She could see that Mo Xiaofei was not lying. Since he did not lie, he kept repeating the nightmare of being stuck on the same day for a whole year, which was indeed tremendous torture to the spirit.
“Brother Mo, I am sympathetic to what happened to you.” Zixing said sternly, “However, can you explain what happened to you?”
“Underground dungeon!” Mo Xiaofei suddenly became rowdy. “The crazy woman locked up in the dungeon! It’s her! I can feel it. The root of this nightmare. No, she is the beginning! The beginning is the end too! She is the beginning and end of this repeated nightmare! It’s her! It’s her! This year, I made contact with her every day! Every time, I will go back to the beginning! It’s her! It’s her!”
“Brother Mo! Please calm down!”
Mo Xiaofei went insane with his eyes widened as he stood up. He appeared hideous. Zixing stretched out her hand and pressed her shoulders, “You are not alone anymore! I’m already here! So, please calm down!”
“Yes, I’m sorry…” Mo Xiaofei rubbed his forehead vigorously, “I have lost more and more of my self-control recently. I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”
He took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down, “Yes, I need to calm down. Let me think about it. My memory is too messy. Let me… think about it!”
Looking at Mo Xiaofei with a pale face, Zixing felt that what was behind this incident became more mystifying.
“The woman locked in the dungeon is probably Nagato Saburo’s wife.” Mo Xiaofei suddenly raised his head and stared at ‘Tsukihime Kondo,’ “I inquired countless times and finally came to this conclusion!”
…
If Tsukuyomi or Susanoo from Yan Wuyue’s Three Deities were here, they would recognize it at a glance. The woman in front was Amaterasu Omikami. Of course, if the two of the Three Deities were here, they would not know who was the man and woman standing here.
It was halfway up the mountain where the Unripe Rice Village shrine was located.
To be precise, it was on the long stone steps right past the vermilion gateway. At this time, Boss Luo and the maid just came down, not long after Windchaser was frightened back by Witch’s arrow.
“What’s the matter?” Boss Luo asked politely, looking at the lady in ancient costume blocking their path down the mountain.
But, ‘Amaterasu Omikami’ smiled coldly at this time. With just a wave of her hand, the trees on both sides of the stone steps grew crazily, directly oppressing Boss Luo and the maid.
“Aren’t you afraid of Eric being angry? You should be the one on the cherry blossom tree previously, right? How do I address you, lady?” Boss Luo didn’t make a move.
The oppressing trees stopped immediately. The trees then slowly returned to their original appearance. At this time, ‘Amaterasu Omikami’ said slowly with a weird smile, “I’m just here to take a look. The person to whom Master Eric has paid such a high price. Do you have the ability to help him!?”
“Oh?” Luo Qiu asked curiously, “Does Mr. Eric doubt me? That’s the first time.”
“It’s not Master Eric.” “Amaterasu Omikami” snorted coldly, “It’s just that I don’t believe it. You dare to take the master’s suitcase! His most important thing! Unforgivable!”
Luo Qiu shook his head and said, “We didn’t take it, but it is the mortgage. After the transaction is completed, Mr. Eric can retrieve his suitcase. Of course, provided that the agreed transaction amount is sufficient.”
“Hmph!“‘Amaterasu Omikami’ stepped forward, “Whether it is the suitcase or one-third of the world’s true soul promised by the master, you don’t get to get them! Assist my master obediently. Otherwise, I will let you stuck on the same day like a nightmare. You will suffer a fate worse than death!”
The maid waved her hand at this time. A black flame appeared in her palm, “That is to say, you intend to violate the contract’s integrity, right? Besides, no matter who you are, what you said just now is too rude…”
When was the last time the maid became upset?
Right, when I met the impolite monkey at Elysium Bar. The maid hadn’t been angry for a long time.
