Chapter 287 57: Newcomer

Because she guessed that the green monsters might come from the moon, Naimai couldn't sleep well the whole night after returning to the hotel.

Every time she was about to fall asleep, she seemed to suddenly find herself being brought into the universe, with the moon's surface full of craters in front of her.

His vision began to distort, and the moon's surface seemed to be covered in flesh and blood, all scarlet. The large and small holes grew eyeballs of different sizes as the flesh and blood squirmed, staring straight at him.

Then, the moon, which was already a meatball, expanded rapidly until it suddenly burst and turned into numerous eyeball meteorites, falling towards the earth.

She couldn't tell whether it was a dream or a fragment of a prophecy.

Or maybe it was the influence that the Mother Goddess exerted on herself.

I tossed and turned and saw the suffocating scene again and again. I decided not to sleep and meditated directly into the heaven node, telling Mr. Li about my discovery.

"It seems that the Special Affairs Bureau can't keep this secret for too long. I came here early and shared some research materials with the Special Affairs Bureau. Your speculation is also the most mainstream view among them. Even further, these green-skinned creatures are likely to exist underground on the back of the moon. Researchers have also deduced the underground environment and some resources based on the substances in their bodies."

"Unfortunately, even from the perspective of molecular biology, no useful information has been found. It is difficult to determine whether the blueprint of this organism originated from Earth."

"But there's no need to worry too much. Judging from the Mother Goddess's current restrained actions, it can be seen that the other party is definitely restricted by something. Think about the extra moon. Does it indicate something?"

Mr. Li was not surprised after hearing what Naimai said, but told her in detail what he had learned.

The fewer people who knew about this kind of news, the better, which was why he hadn't taken the initiative to tell anyone about it.

Naimai had a guess in her mind that it was probably the teacher who restrained the so-called Mother Goddess. This also explained why the teacher had never appeared since the moon changed.

Combined with what the teacher said when he was rescued last time, everything should be under his control.

It’s just that the Mother Goddess still has value in existence, so the teacher didn’t take direct action to solve the problem.

Although it may seem a bit arrogant to think this way, the teacher is indeed an omnipotent being in her mind.

Bailong was eating potato chips and drinking Coke, just listening to them talk quietly without interrupting.

After spending a few years with them, he had already learned about all the big and small things that happened on the planets where these people were by listening.

But all this has nothing to do with him for the time being. Hasamu is a very stupid guy. After three years of study, he still can't summon his original body. As a result, he can only stay in the heaven node every day to teach the divine warlocks or return to the piece of space fragment where he is.

But most of the time he would rather stay here. The space inside the space fragment is so small and he is tortured by pain all the time.

At least you can still move around in the Paradise Node, and there are also some food and entertainment tools transformed by some people, which is quite interesting.

If Hasamu had not been the only one who could summon him, he would have wanted Hasamu to have more life and death experiences and grow faster.

"By the way, now that everyone is here today, let's welcome a new friend to officially join our Paradise Node." Mr. Li's mind moved and he looked in a certain direction.

"New friend? Are you a student from the Tower of Grace?" Naimai seldom comes to the Heaven Node, and most of the time she stays alone even when meditating.

However, she would come to teach the prophecy techniques to the Grace Warlocks in the Grace Tower every once in a while to see if anyone had the relevant talent. Judging from the results, there is only one woman codenamed Cowboy who can be considered to have some talent, but that cannot be called prophecy; it would be more appropriate to call it resonance.

"He's not a new student, but a friend who joined through the Heaven's Beacon." Mr. Li said seriously, "I've been observing him for a while, and even met him once in real life. Although he used Transfiguration to disguise himself, based on my observation of his character, he's qualified."

Joined through Heaven's Beacon?!
Naimai raised her eyebrows.

She knew all too well what this meant.

Could it be that the teacher has started walking on earth again?

"According to him, the Heaven Beacon had been kept by one of his elders. His elder believed that he was not qualified to receive this gift, and only gave it to him some time ago for some reason."

"If he's not lying, the Heaven Beacon should have been obtained at about the same time as Mr. Jeremy."

Naimai's eyes were filled with disappointment again. It turned out to be the beacon from the past. She thought she could follow her teacher like before and cook for her.

"Come on, go to the meeting room first, I'll bring him over later."

Mr. Li has sent the message to the members of the Heaven Node, and now they have stopped what they are doing and are heading to the meeting room.

"Ah, Mr. Bailong."

"Don't call me teacher. I don't have a disciple as stupid as you."

"Miss Sausage, long time no see."

"Ah, yes, Mr. Painter, I have recently gained some new insights into limb regeneration."

Naimai just nodded to the others, then flew to her seat and quietly waited for the arrival of the newcomers.

After a while, Mr. Li brought in a new person.

His image in the Heaven Node is that of a normal human being, without any facial covering. He is a white man, wearing a tuxedo with a purple tail.

"This is our new recruit, codenamed 'Purple Tail'."

Ziwei looked at everyone, a thoughtful look on his face, then he stood up, bowed slightly, and said in a somewhat old-fashioned tone: "It's an honor to meet you all. I hope we can get along well with you in the future and make progress together."

It's a very universal phrase, as if it was copied from somewhere.

Then Ziwei stopped talking and just stared at everyone blankly.

No more?

Hasam looked around and clapped his hands hesitantly.

Hedwig was the second one, and then the others slowly applauded, welcoming Ziwei to join.

"Ziwei is also in Tokyo right now, but he is only good at transformation and has no combat ability, so don't bother him with combat matters. Haku, I may have less time to stay at the node recently, so I can only trouble you to teach him the basic techniques."

Mr. Li arranged the work, basically focusing it on Bailong, the permanent node in heaven, and Hedwig who did not come to Tokyo.

Ziwei seemed like an outsider who stayed out of the matter, or perhaps he was not yet used to the change in his identity. Most of the time he just watched silently and rarely spoke.

"Sister, he is even more taciturn than you." Hasamu said secretly.

Naima ignored him.

I just waited until the meeting was over and found Ziwei alone. "Have you seen the Supreme?" Nayi Mai asked directly after introducing herself.

Ziwei's expression changed slightly: "I haven't seen him, but I heard from my elders that he is an easy-going person."

Easygoing is indeed true, but it is only one of the teacher's many traits, and it seems that the teacher does not have much contact with them.

"Have you ever tried flying upwards to see what is at the end?" Ziwei suddenly pointed upwards.

In the previous void period, except for the heaven node, there was darkness all around, as if it was endless, and nothing could be explored without guidance.

Later, the void turned into an endless sky, and occasionally clouds could be seen, as if floating in the sky. The only difference might be that it was infinitely deep downwards and infinitely high upwards, and no one could explore to the end.

"More importantly, after reaching a certain altitude, as the clouds increase, the pressure will also increase, forcing us to be unable to continue," Naimai explained.

"Perhaps, that place will be heaven, where the sweet dreams of the deceased are hanging, and angels are wandering among them, cutting out the pure dreams for the Lord to appreciate." Ziwei seemed to be very convinced of his own words.

Naimai did not continue the topic. Even if there was heaven up there, since she couldn't go there, it meant that she was not qualified.

After continuing to chat with him for a while and confirming that he really didn't know much about the teacher, she found an opportunity to say goodbye.

In reality, the sky was already bright, and Naimai finished her meditation and went to wash up.

Around nine o'clock, Hasamu finished his meditation, yawned, and said good morning to Naimai in the living room.

Meditation is only a low-level substitute for sleep to a certain extent. Meditation for a long time without sleep will also consume energy, especially after a high-intensity battle the day before and not getting enough rest the next day. You may be so tired that even meditation may be interrupted and you may fall asleep.

Fortunately, they only need to be dispatched when the Special Affairs Bureau requests it. Like today, there is nothing to do, so they should be able to have a normal day off.

It’s just that neither of them is used to sleeping in.

"By the way, it seems that the Special Affairs Bureau said last night that someone will come to visit this morning to ask about the black-robed man we met in Aokigahara." After washing up and eating the prepared breakfast, Hasamu said as if he remembered something.

"Didn't we explain everything that happened that day?" Naimai recalled briefly and remembered that there didn't seem to be anything hidden.

"Who knows, maybe it is related to the attack last night. I heard that Saint Inagaki was besieged by dozens of Moon-Filthy Ones. The battle was probably very brutal." Hasamu said vaguely while eating.

"The more tragic it is, the more we hit that person's weak spot." Naimai knew that the Special Affairs Bureau would do its best to protect Inagaki Miki. Since they didn't mobilize them to support yesterday, it means that the situation is still under control. "If even the night of the full moon can't stop us, the next time we take action, we can only wait for Saint Inagaki to release the demons of the Soul Summoning Society to cause trouble. But in that case, our goal has been achieved, and the demons may not stop attacking their people."

Ding dong.

Just as Hasamu finished eating, the doorbell rang.

When the door opened, only Jingquan Ringo was there.

"Hello, Izumi Ringo, a member of the Special Affairs Bureau's Tashiro team." Izumi wanted to ask for help, and it was rare that he didn't have that expression that usually kept people at a distance.

Naimai looked at her, and was slightly absent-minded for a moment.

Seeing this, Hasamu took the initiative to welcome Jingquan into the house.

He knew what Naimai's appearance meant. She must have seen some important fragment of the future.

Naimai's eyes flickered, as if she was thinking about something.

"Just tell me if there's anything you want to know. We'll tell you everything we know about what happened in Aokigahara." Hasamu felt that there was really nothing worth hiding.

Naimai silently poured the other person a cup of tea.

"Thank you." Jingquan took it politely and looked at Hasamu, "I want to know the details of your encounter with the man in black robe. It would be even better if you could ask more about the details that were omitted during the questioning."

"Is that so? Then we have to start from that wooden house." Seeing that Jingquan was so serious, Hasamu had to carefully tell him the details of what happened that day, including the words and actions that the man in black robe said and he remembered.

The poisonous gas and the self-righteous words are indeed the disgusting guy Hiro Ozaki.

"He didn't try his best." Jingquan said.

"We think so too. Of course, because the Ghost-Faced Fox appeared just after he left, I also have reason to suspect that he knew in advance that the Ghost-Faced Fox was coming, so he left early." Hasamu has also thought about this problem.

"It is also possible that he appeared in front of you deliberately to disrupt our judgment." Jingquan thought quietly.

Hasamu didn't say much. In fact, he didn't even know who the man in black was. He only knew that he must be someone under the control of the Mother Goddess, and that he had many grievances with the Special Affairs Bureau.

After asking a few more questions, Naimai also added some random information. Jingquan knew that this was all the information he had and he wouldn't get anything out of her by asking any more, so he stood up, thanked her and said goodbye.

"Ms. Jingquan, I'm sorry to ask you a question out of pure curiosity. If you feel it's inappropriate, you don't have to tell me the answer." Naimai suddenly asked.

Jingquan was startled: "Excuse me."

"I know that all Moon-Initiators have a moon mark. Is yours on your forehead?" Naimai said, and waited quietly for her answer.

Jingquan subconsciously touched his forehead. The disguise was still there, so how did the other party see through it?

Is it the ability of the divine grace warlock?
"It's not a secret. My moon mark is on my forehead, but I can't show it to you." Jingquan thought for a few seconds and replied.

"It doesn't matter, that's enough." Naimai nodded slightly after getting the answer.

Jingquan left with a heavy heart.

Naimai sat on the sofa, staring at the wall with empty eyes, wondering what she was thinking about.

"What did you see? Can you tell me?" Hasam asked curiously.

"I saw a war, an asymmetric war."

Countless green-skinned monsters pounced madly on the person with the glowing forehead, but her face could not be seen clearly because she was covered in blood.

But since the fragments were seen from Jingquan, they should be related to her.

Hasam was also used to Naimai's riddle-man behavior, and would fill in the blanks in his mind: "So who won?"

"I don't know. I can't see the rest. These are just fragments." Naimai shook her head.
