Chapter 279: Fox Village
My sister brought people back?
Impossible. The ghost face has never been friendly to those people outside. At most, when someone is lost inside, it will use [false image] to create an illusion and guide them in the right direction.
How could they bring people to where they live now?
Is my sister being coerced? !
Thinking of this, her face changed drastically, she waved her hands, and fiddled with them with her clever tongue. The next second, her hands and lips clamped nine jade pendants, as if she was going to throw them away if she saw something wrong.
Considering the time it takes to nurture these nine jade pendants, if they were thrown out at the same time, I'm afraid a mountain would be flattened.
"Well, sister, what are you doing?" The ghost-faced fox walked out of the cabin and saw his sister looking ready for battle, so he asked curiously.
Putting the jade pendant back in his mouth, the Jade-faced Fox stared cautiously at the back of the house: "You are not being held hostage?"
"Do I look like someone who would be held hostage?" Ghost-faced Fox shook his head and sighed, "Sister, a guest is coming."
"Guest? Ito Makoto or other subordinates of the fake master?" The Jade-faced Fox breathed a sigh of relief and hid the jade pendants back into his sleeves.
The ghost-faced fox looked strange.
"neither."
"neither?"
"Come out, this is the sister I just talked about, Yumian." The ghost-faced fox waved towards the house.
Soon, two guys wearing masks and also having fox ears and tails came out.
The Jade-faced Fox's eyes were wide open, its mouth slightly open, and it had an expression of disbelief.
They took off their masks at the same time, a man and a woman, with the same excitement on their faces.
"You are..." Even though Yumian was 90% sure in his heart, he didn't dare to say it out loud. He could only look at Guimian with a pleading look.
"Their names are Fox Two and Fox Three. I have confirmed that they are indeed of the same race as us, and they also came to this world for unknown reasons. So, we are most likely from the same world." After chatting with them for a while, Ghost-faced Fox has gained a preliminary understanding.
Jade-faced Fox was so excited when he heard this that he almost jumped up: "Come on, come in, I'll make you some tea! Ghost-faced guy must have given you spring water to drink, he doesn't know how to entertain guests at all! Don't mind it."
Ghost-faced Fox:
After an exciting and cordial meeting between fellow villagers, both sides finally had a basic understanding.
".It seems that those Paladins don't get along well with us, but it doesn't matter. Since they don't care about you, they probably don't include you in their forces."
"We think so too. Although we are grateful for the teacher's teachings, since he has decided to let go, we have to find the meaning of life on our own." Fox Three is a male, and Bai Shihang always makes people look good, so none of the nine foxes looks ordinary.
"After our study and careful thinking, we feel that staying in this world is a very dangerous thing. There is a saying here that goes 'Those who are not of my kind must have different hearts'. I am afraid that after humans discover us, they will either kill us all or treat us as research subjects, trap us and deprive us of our freedom. So... we have been looking for a way to go back." Fox Three stroked his belly and said firmly.
Jade-faced Fox hadn't noticed it just now, but now he was surprised to find that Fox Two's belly was slightly bulging: "You are pregnant?!"
Fox Three smiled and nodded.
Jade-faced Fox smiled like an auntie, holding her face in her hands: "After the child is born, I must take a good look at him. As far as I can remember, I don't think I've ever seen a child from our tribe."
The ghost-faced fox was somewhat speechless and coughed twice: "Did you know us through the incident in Nerima District?"
Fox Nods: "Yes, we thought that if we want to return to the original world, it would be a good choice to search in the birthplace of the extraordinary. Especially the mysterious Holy Infant, so we came to Tokyo to inquire about the news related to the Holy Infant."
"Among them, the news that the Nerima District was attacked by a group of fake people and the attackers were two people with fox ears and tails attracted our attention."
This is indeed no secret. Back then, collecting the heads of the two foxes and Ito could allow the Holy Infant to fulfill a wish. Even if it was not for this, just for the disappearing "treasure", it was enough to make the chaebols willing to put in a lot of effort.
The result was a lot of specious information was found, but in the end there was really no result. Coupled with the appearance of Yueqizhe, the search gradually came to nothing.
Fox Two and Fox Three were originally looking for a treasure that could allow them to return home. Now this clue not only includes the treasure, but also two suspected members of the same clan, so they stick to this clue and travel all over Japan.
Until today when she was searching Aokigahara, she was discovered by the ghost-faced fox. After some probing, she carefully considered and brought him back.
The Ghost-Faced Fox was not without joy to see its own kind, but he was more concerned for the Jade-Faced Fox. After all, his sister had thought about returning to her original world more than once, and meeting her own kind now would somewhat alleviate her homesickness.
They didn't expect that the purpose of these two foxes looking for them was to go back.
Now that’s great, should we form a homecoming group?
"If you came here for the treasure, you will be disappointed." The Ghost-faced Fox glanced at the Jade-faced Fox with a warning, "We gave the treasure to Ito. After he disappeared, the treasure also disappeared. Moreover, that treasure is related to temporarily enhancing your strength, and it cannot allow you to return to your original world."
Ghost-faced Fox never thought about going back. In her memory, the old world was hell for her and her sister.
Fox Two and Fox Three felt a little disappointed when they heard this, but it was only for a moment: "Anyway, it's a good thing to be able to see the two sisters. We also understand that it's not an easy thing to go back. We are ready for a protracted battle."
"That's right. If we can't go back, then we'll let the children go back. If the children can't go back, then we'll let the grandchildren go back!"
Ghost-faced Fox really wanted to ask, with their population base, is it enough for a race to reproduce? Anyway, she never thought about these things, unless the fake master sent such a task.
"If, if you need a secluded place to recuperate, this is a good choice." Jade-faced Fox suggested.
The ghost-faced fox pursed his lips and did not refute.
"Is this the ability of Ghost-faced Sister?" They remembered that when Ghost-faced Fox first saw them, she fabricated an illusion and almost made them leave.
Jade Fox shook her head, looked at Ghost Fox, and shook her arm: "Hey, sister, can I say it?"
"Just say what you want to say. It has nothing to do with me. But if the fake master blames you, I won't help you to get rid of it." The ghost-faced fox said with a stern face.
The Jade-faced Fox chuckled a few times. This sister was born to be tough on the outside, but actually she was very soft-hearted.
"This house is just a place we live in occasionally. We can give it up at any time. The reason we are in Aokigahara is because the fake master gave us a seed. When the seed grows into a tree, there will be a space to provide us with shelter. We even built some houses in it. Usually no one lives there, which is a pity. We also invited some local foxes to settle down, so that we don't feel so lonely."
"Sister, do you mean that we can move in too?" Hu Er's eyes were filled with anticipation. She also wanted to give her child a stable environment to grow up in.
"The name of the village is Fox Village. I've thought that if we meet people of the same tribe in the future, we can get together and not be so bored or have to protect ourselves. So of course we welcome you." The Jade-faced Fox was a little happy. The house she built was finally useful.
That seed is called the [Tree of Protection] and has a certain degree of wisdom. Its greatest ability is to open up space inside the tree as it grows. It has a bit of the flavor of the world tree in Norse mythology.
The seeds were spit out by Xiao Ke's [Dual Nature of God and Ghost]. At that time, Bai Shihang had already sat on the throne of God, and this tree species could not be planted in heaven, so he gave it to Erhu. In addition, in order to make them have a sense of mission, he also threw a [Teleportation Stone] spit out by Xiao Ke as a secret treasure for them to protect.
The warning look from the Ghost-Faced Fox meant that he didn't want the Jade-Faced Fox to tell anyone about the teleportation stone. After all, judging from the name, it might be able to teleport them back to their original world. Although, after their research, they found that this possibility did not exist and the most they could do was teleport them to the moon.
But the moon has mutated, and their physical fitness is not extremely strong, so they naturally would not fly to the moon for no reason to see what happens.
Now the teleportation stone is hidden against the ghost-faced fox's chest. Normally, she would not even give it to her sister. However, if it is just to let them enter the fox village, it is not impossible.
"Then let me take you in to have a look now."
As he spoke, the Jade-faced Fox took Fox Two's hand and told her some secrets.
Fox Three smiled awkwardly at the Ghost-faced Fox, who just nodded slightly and followed him.
The ghost-faced fox glanced at their masks without leaving a trace. The workmanship was almost the same, and the functions were even better than theirs. At least they could use their abilities when transformed, but theirs could not.
Could it be that there is actually some connection between the fake ones and the Paladins?
It was also because of this that she did not resist her sister telling them about the Fox Village.
Although after a brief fight she found that the two were quite weak and seemed to have only the most basic extraordinary entry-level abilities, the only thing worth mentioning was that they had learned fighting skills well.
After walking for a while, the Jade-faced Fox stopped, took out a bell and shook it gently.
The crisp tinkling sound echoed faintly, and there was silence all around.
In just a few seconds, the top of one of the ordinary-looking trees shook slightly and a few leaves fell.
"Little Tree, this is our new friend, let us in." The Jade-faced Fox walked to the tree and patted the trunk.
The big tree did not respond. The trees below slowly closed in, and a small hole slowly appeared, which was just big enough for cats and dogs to enter and exit.
"follow me."
The Jade-faced Fox turned into a cat, then turned back as if remembering something and reminded, "By the way, it's best to appear in the form of a cat in the woods. There's a cat village nearby with two extraordinary cats. If we run into any trouble in this form, we can just blame it on them."
"Uh, okay, we understand." Fox Two and Fox Three put on masks and turned into kittens together.
The ghost-faced fox turned into a black cat and jumped in first.
As they entered one after another, the tree hole slowly closed and returned to its original state. After a few seconds, the big tree slowly became illusory and disappeared on the spot.
The next second, it reappeared several kilometers away, and after a few slight adjustments, it perfectly blended into the local environment.
Fox Two and Fox Three had already arrived at the fox village mentioned by the Jade-faced Fox.
It is very narrow at first, but then it becomes narrow enough to be passed. After walking a few dozen steps, it suddenly becomes clear. This is probably the feeling.
It was a completely different scene inside.
A country road extends inward, and you can see a flat grassland not far away. More than ten buildings are staggered in an orderly manner. A stream runs through the middle of the fox village and disappears into the forest.
Various squirrels, foxes, birds and insects live here, forming their own ecological chain.
Fox Two and Fox Three opened their mouths and never closed them.
"If a child can be born in a place like this, I think it would be quite good. What do you think?" The Jade-faced Fox turned back into a human and asked.
Fox Nods desperately with light in his eyes.
There was nothing wrong with Fox Three, the environment was indeed beautiful.
"Aren't there seven of you in total? How many people do you think would be willing to come and live here?"
"Brother Fox One has been looking for the teacher's whereabouts, and we can't contact him. Sister Fox Four should be willing to come, but Fox Five and Fox Six have completely fallen in love with human food and entertainment, so they probably won't want to come. Fox Seven is active by nature, so unless there are some secrets to be discovered here, she won't stay in one place for long." Fox Three talked about the personalities of each of them one by one.
Jade-faced Fox began to promote his fox village: "It's just not that lively here. Look, I even bought a few generators, and pulled up the wires and lights. Look at that square room, it's the library, and you can watch movies there to relieve boredom."
The ghost-faced fox drove away the fox that was approaching, returned to her room, and informed them of the situation here using the contact information left by the fake one.
It was a piece of paper. As long as the words were written on it, the faker would receive it, and if there was a reply, it would also appear.
However, her expectations still did not receive any response, and the ghost-faced fox's eyes gradually became lost.
Just as she was about to put the paper away, words finally appeared on it.
[Don’t you want to go back?]
The ghost-faced fox controlled his excitement and wrote [Disciple does not want to]
[Then I will try to ease the tension with the Holy Infant so that I can stop hiding things in the future.]
Reconcile with the Holy Infant. Doesn’t the false master have a grudge against the Holy Infant?
Is it for us?
After the Ghost-faced Fox replied, he hesitated for a long time and did not dare to ask any more questions.
But how can we reconcile with the Holy Infant?
Well, there must be a reason why the adults said that.
Moreover, the relationship between big figures is not as simple as they think. Once the conditions are right, they can cooperate.
She didn't quite understand these questions, and it was not appropriate to ask her sister now, so she could only wait for a while.
A helicopter landed in a town near Aokigahara and William walked out of it. He was in a really bad mood.
"Mr. William, did you gain anything?" Hasamu walked down from behind and patted him on the shoulder.
William forced a smile: "One thing, we will discuss it later."
Naimai followed them out, looked back at the Aokigahara forest, and wondered what was in her mind.
It's really annoying. William thought that the Special Affairs Bureau would not send any extraordinary people to follow him, and now they have indeed not sent any. However, these two extraordinary people came to Aokihara specifically to find hidden extraordinary people. They couldn't be the extraordinary cat that he was looking for.
After comparison, he found that the extraordinary cat was most likely hiding here, and this was the main purpose of his trip to Japan. Helping was just a coincidence.
"Is there any way to find it alone in advance? Or can I only expose my own abilities?"
William walked and thought.
