Chapter 484: Chapter 484: Cain is a Hammer?
Doujin Artist: Cain? Isn’t that thing a vampire?
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Yeah, I think it’s supposed to be the first vampire. According to the Bible, it’s the original vampire, the source of all vampires in the world.
As the administrator of the Magical Index world, Saten Ruiko pretty much knows all about magic and religion now. You could even say she’s an expert in that field.
Machete Girl: Based on what I understand, it should be a vampire too, but the records in our church say it’s a demon. And it actually appeared in Europe during the Victorian era, charming the then Queen of England in human form.
Lazy Kitten: Damn, this is like some fantasy novel.
Lin Fengjiao: So, demons actually exist where you guys are from?
Machete Girl: I don’t know, it’s all very confusing. And according to the book, although that Cain can take human form, its true nature is a big hammer.
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: What?
Machete Girl: A big hammer, you know, like a sledgehammer. The sledgehammer is its real body.
Doujin Artist: A sledgehammer for real! I’ve never heard of any demon whose real body is a sledgehammer. Are there any demons whose real body is a sickle? If you put those two together, wouldn’t they be invincible?
Curly-haired Guy: Pfft, hammers and sickles are demons? So capitalists are angels, right?
This is an Actor: The key now is to find that hammer. Maybe then you can solve the final mystery of your world.
Machete Girl: They say it’s sealed, but we can’t figure out how to unseal it. 666 living people, 666 souls. The souls are easy, we can just find some clueless wandering spirits. But what about the living people? Are we really going to have to sacrifice them?
Soul Society’s Villain: Use those prisoners who are already due to die. It would be like making good use of waste, wouldn’t it?
Lazy Kitten: Oh yeah, finding 666 criminals who deserve to die in America shouldn’t be hard. If we really can’t find enough, just use the capitalists as scapegoats. They’re all bad people anyway.
Machete Girl: Forget it. If we do that, what’s the difference between us and those criminals? When we punish prisoners to achieve our own goals, we’re essentially committing a crime.
This is an Actor: Then you’ll just have to find the array’s core yourself. Destroying the core will also break the seal.
Curly-haired Guy: That’s too much trouble. If it were me, I’d rather just punish those damn prisoners.
Doujin Artist: That’s why I say your resolve isn’t strong enough, your ideological reform isn’t complete.
Curly-haired Guy: Gin-san doesn’t admit to that! What do you mean my resolve isn’t strong enough? The purpose of doing this is to save the people, so how can that be considered insufficient resolve?
Doujin Artist: You’re just quibbling. Your goal is just to complete your world’s mission faster.
Curly-haired Guy: Isn’t it to better reform the world after completing the mission? It all leads back to the same point, doesn’t it? Don’t be such a saint, you idiot.
Doujin Artist: This has nothing to do with being a saint! It’s that you have other ways to save people, but you insist on choosing the most brutal one to save time and effort... What’s the difference between that and those exploiters? Just because you don’t want to be exploited, does that mean you can go and exploit others?
Curly-haired Guy: The purpose is completely different, the PURPOSE! My purpose isn’t exploitation, it’s salvation!
This is an Actor: Alright, both of you stop arguing. You won’t settle this by fighting, and there’s no right answer no matter how much you argue. Let Kotonoha decide this.
Foul-Mouthed Mask Guy: Hey, that’s right! It’s better to let the person involved handle this. You guys are more anxious than the emperor’s eunuchs.
Curly-haired Guy: Shut up, you shameless old thief!
Doujin Artist: You’re the eunuch, your whole family are eunuchs!
Foul-Mouthed Mask Guy: Ooh ooh ooh, you guys are too excited. Is it not allowed to speak the truth in this group now? Are you not even letting people speak the truth? That’s not right, your behavior is too babyish.
Lazy Kitten: Pfft, "too babyish," I love it. Like Li Ning’s shoes falling apart?
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: Oh, that "Social Tiger" meme again.
Speaking of that meme, Li Mochou’s mouth twitched. She really didn’t understand what was so funny about it. Wasn’t that just a common martial arts plot?
Even though no one in the martial arts world wore brightly colored masks, this kind of plot was definitely played out in real life. Like sneak attacks and arranged fights, those were way more exciting than what these guys were doing.
Huh?
Li Mochou suddenly stopped walking and started thinking seriously. Come to think of it, if these martial arts matters were put online today, they’d definitely go viral, right?
Ren Woxing, you’re a diva, aren’t you?
Thinking about shouting that line from Zuo Lengchan’s perspective, Li Mochou couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Damn, it really was funny when you thought about it.
"Fairy Master, what’s wrong?" Qu Feiyan, who was beside her, noticed her strangeness and asked.
"Nothing, I just thought of something happy." Li Mochou didn’t force her to stop calling her that anymore; she’d gotten used to it and the awkwardness had faded, leaving her completely numb.
Padah, padah.
As the two were talking, a rustling sound of hurried footsteps came from the woods.
Li Mochou turned her head towards the sound. What met her eyes were several men in gray clothes holding steel swords. They were moving very fast, quickly cutting through the wooded area before them.
"It’s the Songshan School," Qu Feiyan said in a low voice intentionally, "They don’t look like they’re here to attend Uncle Liu’s Golden Basin Handwashing ceremony."
After all, with the arrogance of the Songshan School, if they were truly attending the ceremony, they wouldn’t be acting so sneakily. And they all looked rushed and full of murderous intent.
"The Songshan School, huh." Li Mochou breathed a sigh of relief. She understood now.
These disciples of the Songshan School were certainly not here to diligently attend Liu Zhengfeng’s Golden Basin Handwashing ceremony. They were likely here, just like in the story, to target Liu Zhengfeng’s family.
Using Liu Zhengfeng’s family as leverage to force him to reveal clues about Qu Yang. This tactic by the Songshan School was truly vicious, not at all the behavior expected of a righteous sect.
"You wait here for a moment."
When Li Mochou brought Qu Feiyan to Hengshan, her original intention was to save Liu’s family, both old and young. It was disgusting how martial arts feuds could harm family members; it was the same path she had walked before.
Such a tragedy should not happen.
Before Qu Feiyan could even register her words, Li Mochou had already disappeared from her sight. Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, sword lights flashed in the air, like dazzling moonlight.
