Chapter 250.4
"Twenty thousand followers, what a concept!"
Liu Xing felt that he could do as he pleased in this module.
So, Liu Xing didn’t think KP Fangs would allow him to contact Little Hero, and if he really did contact Little Hero, the police might come knocking on his door the next day to arrest him.
Putting aside the idea of contacting Little Hero, Liu Xing began to think about how he could safely return home to retrieve those items and medicines. After all, in "WatanabeRyuusei’s" memory, those items and medicines had an incredibly strong effect, and were particularly suited to "WatanabeRyuusei’s" character card. Liu Xing believed he had to find time to make a trip, and he had a premonition that those items and medicines would play a crucial role in his future world mission.
However, the biggest hassle was the local police. After all, Watanabe Masao had only been in prison for less than a year, and although "WatanabeRyuusei" had cleared his relationship with his father at the time, the local police still considered "WatanabeRyuusei" a cult member. Therefore, it was impossible for Liu Xing to take those items and medicines away... The most important thing was that Watanabe Masao had stored the items and medicines in a location right next to the police station.
When Liu Xing read this part of the memory, he couldn’t help but curse Watanabe Masao. "Isn’t this just digging your own grave? You, as a cult leader, actually set up home next to the police station and put the most important items and medicines there. Are you afraid the police won’t find enough evidence?"
Is the most dangerous place actually the safest?
Joking aside, this was already the most dangerous place, and it was only temporarily safe at best.
Fortunately, Watanabe Masao still had his wits about him and had hidden those items and medicines using misdirection, so the police who came to search found nothing. Otherwise, Watanabe Masao would have added several years to his sentence.
But to get back to the point, Liu Xing suddenly discovered that Watanabe Masao had only been sentenced to five years.
This was thanks to Aaron’s gluttony, who would eat everything, including the bones. And every time the Ritual Ceremony was completed, Aaron would take care of the aftermath, leaving the police without enough evidence to prove that Watanabe Masao had performed a human sacrifice ritual. So, they could only convict him of illegal assembly and endangering public safety, and under the defense of a certain big-shot lawyer, Watanabe Masao was only sentenced to five years.
Thinking about this, Liu Xing felt a bit depressed, because according to "WatanabeRyuusei’s" memory, Watanabe Masao was extremely power-hungry, which was why he had privately summoned King Hastur in Yellow Robes to beg for Aaron’s control.
So, Liu Xing could be certain that after Watanabe Masao was released from prison, he would take over the original Worshipers of the Yellow Sect from Little Hero’s hands and merge his own Worshipers of the Yellow Sect with it.
In that case, wasn’t Liu Xing just doing free labor for Watanabe Masao?
Liu Xing thought about this with some frustration, because according to the current module’s average interval, these five years would experience more than ten modules. By the time he had struggled to clear more than ten modules and developed the Worshipers of the Yellow Sect, only to have it taken away by his "father" directly, he would really go crazy...
But getting back to the point, Liu Xing felt that he was thinking too far ahead, because this was all about ten modules from now, and he didn’t know if his character card could even survive that long.
So, Liu Xing put this problem aside and continued to browse through WatanabeRyuusei’s memories.
Soon, Liu Xing discovered another special memory - a strange person.
After watching this memory, Liu Xing found that this parallel world was quite small, because the strange person in WatanabeRyuusei’s memory was Watanabe Jiang.
Liu Xing nodded, as this situation was within his expectations. After all, this shrine was the old nest of the Deep Sea Gospel Society in Kyoto, and its security level was not high for no reason.
However, the current situation was still okay. Miguel had been keeping an eye on some high-level personnel at Morimoto Academy, which allowed Liu Xing to roughly predict the academy’s next move and prepare accordingly.
"Teacher Ming, tell Miguel to keep an eye on the principal and the others. As long as we know their movements, we can be prepared and won’t be caught off guard. However, we still need to find a way to get into that shrine, which should be the headquarters of the cultists," Liu Xing said seriously.
Ming Hanxing nodded and started sending messages to Miguel on his mobile phone.
At this time, Honekawa Suneo spoke up, "Teacher, I’ve taken care of the task you assigned me. I’ve investigated Lu Tianya’s family and found that they’re currently on a business trip in Africa and won’t be back in the country for a while. Moreover, Lu Tianya’s parents don’t seem to know any magic spells and don’t know how to exorcise demons, which is understandable given that Lu Tianya’s parents are always on business trips."
Liu Xing nodded, smiling, "This is good news. It seems that Lu Tianya is only a half-baked exorcist and won’t pose a significant threat to us. However, we still need to bother Meixiang to keep an eye on Lu Tianya. If Lu Tianya makes any moves, please let your sister know immediately."
Yuan Meixiang guaranteed, "No problem, Teacher. I had a good relationship with Lu Tianya in class, and after school reopens, I can become Lu Tianya’s good friend in just one day. I’ll definitely be able to provide you with firsthand information."
Liu Xing smiled and nodded, then turned to Nobi Nobita, who was sitting on the side, and teased, "Nobita, you see that Teacher Ming and Suneo have made progress. How about you?"
Nobi Nobita knew that Liu Xing was joking and could only shake his head helplessly, sighing, "Teacher, I’ve done my best. Yesterday, I contacted Jin Ziyuan and Suzuki Ryu’s friends to ask about the Red-Clothed Female Ghost, but the result was nothing. Jin Ziyuan and Suzuki Ryu only kept emphasizing that the Red-Clothed Female Ghost wanted them to find something."
"Find something." Liu Xing stroked his chin, continuing, "So, it seems that the thing the Red-Clothed Female Ghost wants to find is the key to this ritual ceremony."
Ling Ishikawa nodded, suddenly furrowing her brow, "Teacher, I think there might be a possibility that the Red-Clothed Female Ghost is not on the school’s side but is actually helping the victims. The Red-Clothed Female Ghost wants the victims to find something to escape their fate of being sacrificed to the Deep One."
Liu Xing raised an eyebrow, thoughtfully nodding, "This is possible. Based on the known details, the two victims, or the students who committed suicide in the Old Teaching Building area, all had one thing in common: they were in a hypnotic state when they were sacrificed, which is why they didn’t resist and were deemed to have committed suicide. If Ling Ishikawa’s guess is correct, then the thing the Red-Clothed Female Ghost wants the victims to find should be something that can make them immune to hypnosis or allow the Red-Clothed Female Ghost to act freely."
"Teacher, you mean the Red-Clothed Female Ghost is a third-party force?" Ling Ishikawa asked in surprise.
Liu Xing nodded, smiling, "That’s right. We’re also a third-party force, and I suspect that the Red-Clothed Female Ghost is a female student who was killed in the past due to some unknown reason and became the Red-Clothed Female Ghost. She has now regained some consciousness and wants to take revenge on the school’s cultists, but she’s still missing something, which is why she’s appearing to Jin Ziyuan, Suzuki Ryu, and Honda teacher, hoping they can help her get that thing."
Liu Xing pointed to the table with his finger, "If I’m not mistaken, that thing should be the relic left by the Red-Clothed Female Ghost, containing her memories of her past life or her hatred towards the people who killed her. In any case, it’s something that contains strong emotions and can drive the Red-Clothed Female Ghost to act freely. So, Nobita, your search scope can focus on students who wore red clothes and committed suicide, and might have left behind some relics."
Nobi Nobita’s eyes lit up, and he confidently said, "I understand, Teacher. I think I can find out the Red-Clothed Female Ghost’s identity in a few days."
Liu Xing shook his head, smiling, "Nobita, don’t be too confident. I just made a guess, and it’s possible that the Red-Clothed Female Ghost is on the school’s side."
Nobi Nobita’s smile gradually faded away.
