Chapter 0010: Nobita's Great Crisis

Yuan Jingxiang and Ye Daxiong, at this moment, walked hand in hand through the shopping mall like a couple. Yuan Jingxiang, standing just over 1.7 meters tall with a standard model figure, although still youthful in appearance, already displayed an extraordinary charm. In contrast, Ye Daxiong, slightly over 1.6 meters tall and rather unremarkable in looks, even described as somewhat unattractive, was indeed quite eye-catching.

Two people by the roadside planned to take a taxi, and Bai Qige naturally intended to continue following them, looking for an opportunity to act. However, after a while, he pulled out his wallet with a grimace, his only hope being that the two would not run too far, otherwise the cash he had on him might not be enough for him to return.

Ye Daxiong's task has been completed, and the task reward is 2000. The special non-forming magical artifact is currently being nurtured and will be distributed later

During the first inquiry, Bai Qige maintained a calm demeanor, revealing no signs of suspicion. The plainclothes police officer reminded him briefly to contact the police immediately if he had any leads, and then left.

The events that followed also validated Bai Qige's suspicions. Plainclothes police officers directly approached Bai Qige's home, claiming to investigate a theft incident that had occurred at Canglan Academy a few days prior. They inquired whether Bai Qige had noticed any suspicious individuals on that day. Bai Qige understood that if the police were unable to identify a target, they would naturally broaden their search. On that day, it was likely that everyone who had visited Canglan Academy would become a target for police questioning. During the inquiry, the plainclothes officers scrutinized him with probing gazes, striving to discern every subtle change in his facial expressions.

After the laws of the Heavenly Mandate interface received the supplementary information on Ye Daxiong's fate anomaly, there were no further disturbances as experienced previously. Several days later, a virtual box suddenly popped up.

To put it negatively, that blood-stained man is the culprit who caused my three-year journey through time. To put it positively, he is the kind-hearted person who brought me this opportunity. However, regardless of how one views it, it is essential to clarify the underlying reasons.

When did one completely lose the reverence for the consequences of crime, and when did one hone such outstanding criminal skills and psychological resilience

The fourth divine ability of the Heart Demon Transformation, "Soul Devour," was activated. The fears, pains, despair, and madness that filled the minds of these students, along with various negative emotions, were all consumed by a wisp of black mist, devoured entirely by Bai Qige. After being drained, these students fell to the ground one by one, losing consciousness.

However, it seems that the boss is not treating me too badly at the moment. This task comes with a nice reward that is quite delightful and worth savoring

Bai Qige's gaze sharpened; at this moment, in his eyes, the beer bottle glasses worn by Ye Daxiong surprisingly emitted a rather dazzling light, while others remained completely unaware. It is evident that this is Bai Qige's indeterminate treasure.

These two little brats ... ... are really wealthy

Make those two little devils quiet! Inside the van, the night owl snapped his fingers, and the two henchmen immediately sprang into action, tying up Ye Daxiong and Yuan Jingxiang, then gagging them.

The unformed treasure obtained from Ye Daxiong's mission has been successfully nurtured. Please collect it at 5:30 PM on the third floor of Building B at the Champs-Élysées Shopping Center

The night owl looked at the two captives with a lewd smile, making it clear at a glance what he was plotting at that moment. Da Xiong suddenly stepped forward, awkwardly shielding Jing Xiang behind him. The night owl was unfazed, and instead, his smile grew even more wicked, even exuding a hint of madness.

In the following two days, Bai Qige's daily routine remained unchanged, continuing to travel between the martial arts school and his home. He also paid considerable attention to the news, and as expected, the incident involving Master Mengyi's unexpected appearance at the basketball game was widely discussed. There were even some blurry videos circulating on the internet. However, when Bai Qige decided to take action himself, he had already considered the consequences, so he was not concerned. As long as he did not appear in the identity of Master Mengyi in the future, these matters would eventually become urban legends in a few months, stirring up no significant commotion.

On the contrary, Bai Qige was somewhat surprised by the incident involving Chu Mushan. After he left that day, he deliberately paid attention and noticed that many ambulances and police cars had gone to Canglan School. It seemed that Chu Mushan and his group had been discovered, yet unexpectedly, he heard no news about it afterward, as if it had been completely suppressed by an invisible hand.

Surprised and bewildered, Bai Qige appeared quite normal. He made an effort to recall but then shook his head, indicating that he knew nothing. The plainclothes police officer might have inquired at the hotel where Bai Qige worked, and thus asked why Bai Qige had taken so many days off. Bai Qige candidly replied that he had recently been training at a martial arts school to strengthen his body, and that he had taken some time off from the library to rest well and focus on his studies.

It is not I who am at fault, but this world! Well, to be more precise, it is the fault of the Middle-earth where human lives are as cheap as grass

Ah! I have indeed been misled. It seems that my suspicions have been temporarily dismissed. However, I must remain cautious in the near future; otherwise, it could lead to trouble

Bai Qi Ge had already used the Heart Demon Transformation more than once; he was accustomed to the inhumane state he found himself in after each transformation. He had faced even more outrageous situations before, calmly and skillfully erasing evidence, handling traces, then avoiding surveillance cameras, and quietly leaving Canglan School

Hehe, although your appearance is a bit unattractive, it doesn't matter. As a man, what is important is inner quality and temperament. You are so brave for the woman you love, so I really like you! Soon, I will take good care of you. By the way, do you prefer Vaseline or medicated oil?

Although Ye Daxiong and Yuan Jingxiang appeared somewhat pale, weak, and lacking in spirit, they had largely recovered from the game that took place about ten days ago. At present, they were inseparable and exceptionally affectionate. They had come here to shop, and the stores they chose were not far from where Bai Qige was located. Bai Qige did not need to go out of her way to get close, as she could observe the movements of the two. Meanwhile, she was constantly pondering how to obtain Ye Daxiong's glasses.

The plainclothes police arrived in a van, stopping right below the window. At that moment, the plainclothes officers got into the vehicle, and Bai Qige, sitting in the passenger seat, recognized an acquaintance.

However, the sorrow in Yuan Jingxiang's beautiful eyes lasted only a brief moment, for the night owl's magical hand gently caressed Ye Daxiong's chest, and then continued downward

In that frenzied smile, Ye Daxiong and Yuan Jingxiang were filled with unparalleled fear. Then, Ye Xiao seemed unable to suppress the wicked thoughts in his heart and reached out with his sinister hand. Upon seeing this, Daxiong, timid as a mouse, suddenly felt a surge of courage, standing in front of Jingxiang. With wide, furious eyes, he was willing to sacrifice his life to protect the purity of the goddess in his heart. A trace of emotion suddenly appeared in Jingxiang's eyes, but at the same time, there was a sense of sorrow, for she knew that with Daxiong's clumsy and humble protection, it was utterly meaningless.

Shopping at Haoke is certainly not something one can carry in large and small bags. After shopping, the two individuals, Kong and Tushu, walked out, and shortly thereafter, the boutique would naturally deliver the items to their address. Bai Qige stood up and followed them from a distance. After finishing their shopping, the two seemed to plan to go for a meal, so they walked towards the exit of the shopping mall.

Although he was eager to uncover the truth of that night, Bai Qige took no action. If one were to ask him for a reason, it would be quite simple: it was sheer nonsense. Just based on the presence of those men in black suits and sunglasses acting alongside plainclothes police officers, and their apparent high status, it was clear they were part of a mysterious government agency. Without adequate preparation, would one recklessly charge in, as if they wished for their own demise to come sooner?

This matter is certainly not over, but Bai Qige reassured himself that he had acted cleanly. The doll costume was completely burned, and even Di Renjie would have been unable to extract any useful information from it while he was alive. Fingerprints and other evidence had been properly handled, and there were no hair samples left at the scene. He had also perfectly avoided surveillance and had not been witnessed by anyone, so there should be no clues left behind. Moreover, this incident falls under the category of impulsive crime, which is relatively difficult to unravel. At this moment, he naturally could not throw himself into the net and deliberately inquire about the matter, as the police might have already set up an elaborate trap, just waiting to catch him.

You are truly unfortunate. About ten days ago, you encountered a lunatic and played some kind of game called "True Love Adventure," ending up severely injured in the hospital. I heard that the lunatic was having a great time, almost driving all of you insane. Just after you left the hospital, you ran into me. But you brought this upon yourselves; after all, Chu Mushan is a talent that our boss has high hopes for. You offended him badly, and now he is crazily wanting you dead

Before long, Bai Qige's thoughts drifted in another direction

One of the men in a black suit and sunglasses appeared in the front passenger seat of the undercover police vehicle, and those undercover officers seemed to show him a degree of deference. Leaving the window, Bai Qige's expression remained unchanged, but he confirmed certain matters in his heart

I really do not like this tedious task, and yet the boss insists that I take action. It is truly an overuse of my abilities, don't you think

However, upon regaining her composure, Bai Qige was surprised by her own calmness. Previously, when she was in the Middle-earth, she felt little, as it was a time of chaos. Yet, upon returning to the law-abiding Earth, Bai Qige became aware of her own differences and sense of incongruity.

While playing games with the illustrated book, Bai Qige utilized the mind-reading ability granted by his inner demons to perceive the thoughts and backgrounds of everyone present. He even knew all the misdeeds of that unfortunate timer in great detail. The police could not possibly suspect that Bai Qige possessed such mind-reading abilities; they could only conclude that the criminal had premeditated the crime and had conducted a lengthy investigation before executing it. Once this understanding was established, Bai Qige would certainly be excluded from suspicion, as he was merely a small hotel security guard without any motive or capability.

Xiangxielier Shopping City is a recently opened bustling comprehensive shopping center in Shenzhen, with a constant flow of people coming and going. Bai Qige, holding a cup of milk tea, sits outside an outdoor café on the third floor of Building B, waiting leisurely. He is uncertain how this undefined magical item will manifest. Moments later, Bai Qige unexpectedly spots two "acquaintances".

The various supernatural abilities brought about by the Heart Demon Transformation are not given freely; they require a price to be paid. Each time the Heart Demon Transformation is employed, sufficient offerings must be absorbed in return for the Ten Thousand Illusions Heavenly Slash. Otherwise, the consequences will be endless.

Should I rush up and snatch away Ye Daxiong's glasses? Bai Qige surveyed the crowd around him, shook his head, and then dismissed the thought. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a bit resentful towards the laws of the Destiny Interface, as the after-sales service was simply too poor.

Daxiong mumbled softly, but his mouth was sealed, rendering him unable to speak. The night owl sneered: "Alright, alright, flower protector, I know what you want to say. You must be thinking that you would trade your life for this girl’s safety, right? I must say, in that madman's game, you really showed some manliness, and I admire that. After all, in this day and age, there are not many who are truly willing to go through fire and water for their loved ones. Take that guy Chu Mushan for example; he performed much worse. But the worse he is, the better it is for control! Chu Mushan's demand is that you must die, while this girl can survive. However, when the time comes, she should wish for her own death to come as soon as possible! Haha!"

Ye Daxiong and Yuan Jingxiang were inseparable, exchanging sweet nothings, intentionally avoiding the crowd as they stood at a deserted intersection waiting for a taxi. At that moment, a white van slowly approached them, and the doors suddenly swung open. Two men jumped out without a word and immediately attacked, landing a punch on Yuan Jingxiang and Ye Daxiong's stomachs. Taking advantage of their momentary pain as they doubled over, the men swiftly pulled them into the van. After shutting the doors, the van sped away, completing the entire operation in less than four seconds, executed with precision and efficiency, even going unnoticed.

These negative emotions serve as the offerings for this instance of the Heart Demon Transformation. Naturally, for these students, it is likely that they will have to endure a prolonged period of mental disorientation, anxiety, insomnia, and psychological fear.

In the dim night, in a silent park, a man covered in blood, followed by several mysterious men in black suits and sunglasses, this is the prologue to his journey through time.

Transferring his minor entanglements to Middle-earth, Bai Qige instantly felt a sense of relief. The plainclothes police had not been gone long when Bai Qige took a sip of water and casually glanced out the window, only to have his pupils constrict.

Bai Qige's observational skills are astonishing, effortlessly catching sight of the actions of two individuals from a distance. The two are casually shopping in a luxury brand store, and in just a short while, they have already spent over 200,000, without even furrowing their brows. This evokes a mix of envy and resentment in Bai Qige, whose entire fortune amounts to only 30,000.

The night owl appeared exceptionally young, around seventeen or eighteen years old, with hair dyed in various colors, wearing headphones, and exuding a carefree demeanor. With slouched eyebrows, dead fish eyes, and a crooked nose, he looked particularly sinister and unattractive. At this moment, he spoke casually, and the henchmen had little to say, merely nodding in agreement.

Having absorbed the offering, Bai Qige also returned from the state of inner demons, and upon seeing the scene that resembled a massacre, he scratched his head in distress: "It seems I've gone a bit overboard! Well, it’s done now, no point in regretting it. I should hurry and make my escape!"

Bai Qige was quite surprised; he had thought that this undefined Noble Phantasm would simply drop right in front of him. He did not expect that he would still have to collect it. However, the thought of acquiring a Noble Phantasm made Bai Qige feel restless, so he went out!

Haha! This really is a case of many twists and turns before a good thing, can't you wait until I get those glasses before kidnapping me? Bai Qige shook his head irritably, sighed, and hailed a taxi. Fortunately, before the treasure was collected, the interface of destiny was constantly flashing with the location of the treasure, which was also where Daxiong was at that moment, and then he took the taxi to rush over.
