Chapter 573: Hair of God
"Please note, the border line here is closed. All Dongxia citizens are prohibited from traveling to Myanmar."
A squad of heavily armed soldiers in strict military uniforms blocked the border line.
This caused some independent travelers or people with ulterior motives planning to cross the border to return resentfully.
But soon, some well-informed people found out some news.
"It's said that a special infectious disease has appeared near that new city within Myanmar!"
"What disease? That's a plague! Holy shit, it's too damn bizarre. I heard from a buddy over there that their whole family is still hiding in the basement. They often hear sounds like ghosts crying and wolves howling above ground."
"Still calling it a plague! It's an absolute supernatural phenomenon over there. Haven't you seen the videos on YouTube?! It's turned into a disaster movie!"
Among a group of people who hadn't left because their trips were blocked, there was a cacophony of voices.
This actually made a few men and women carrying no luggage, looking like local tourists, exchange glances before turning together and walking in another direction.
"It seems the rumors in the Space are true. That madman Mercenary Tao has released a [Meme] in the real world."
A woman propped up her chin and then looked at the others.
"Then should we still go? The danger level of that [Meme] is hard to assess. It's said to be the one from [Sweet Home]. The infection and transmission methods are unknown..."
Her expression showed some intention of backing out.
But another smaller-built girl said:
"Go! Why not go!"
"That curse from Sweet Home, to put it plainly, is that whatever desire you have will produce a related mutation. As long as you can resist it, you get an ability for free!"
"I think that is a gift from Your Excellency Mercenary Tao to Reincar... Ability Users heading to [Paradise]!"
The female Reincarnator codenamed [Rice Noodle] made no secret of her identity as a supporter of Mercenary Tao, which made the others even more hesitant.
Strangely enough, a guy like Mercenary Tao, an undeniable great evildoer who had always been famous as a [Fierce Person] and for slaughtering Reincarnators, had actually garnered the worship of a considerable portion of Reincarnators.
Upon learning that Mercenary Tao would grant protection to Reincarnators entering [Paradise], this group of Reincarnators almost unthinkingly wanted to go.
A thin young man wearing a sun hat also had black-rimmed glasses framing his face.
Ye Kai, codenamed [Professor], an official Reincarnator of [Azure Sky]. He had many identities and was accustomed to seeing all kinds of Reincarnators.
But at this moment, he still felt puzzled by those who worshipped a madman like Mercenary Tao for no reason.
Worship of violence, or pure worship of the strong?
Behind him, a tall woman wearing a huge sun hat had a hot figure. Unlike what Kaito Shirogane and Professor had previously guessed, the woman codenamed [Elizabeth] was indeed a tall and hot figure in reality as well.
She was from an ethnic minority, with a high nose bridge and fair skin. Many people had been attracted by her along the way, and she had long grown impatient at this point.
"Is that kind of thing very important?"
"Since none of our group wants to register or be supervised, and we are all a bunch of selfish scum who don't want to serve the country and the people, no matter how chaotic it is over at [Paradise], don't we still have to go over there?"
As Elizabeth said this with a mocking tone, the others immediately frowned, all dissatisfied.
"How are we scum?!"
"We're so weak, what's wrong with just wanting to survive ourselves? Is there a problem?!"
Seeing a quarrel was about to break out, Liu Mingqi coughed, his eyes opening.
Hum!
It was as if the sound of a sword vibrating rang out of thin air, an intense sense of sharpness bursting from his body. The others were all startled and subconsciously retreated a few steps.
Seeing the reaction of the few people, Ye Kai also knew this group was probably really weak and had no interest in getting into further disputes with them.
He turned and took Elizabeth and [Liu Qi] into a taxi, heading in another direction.
"Sorry, Uncle Liu, Sister Yi. I have some matters, and indeed cannot stay in Dongxia to register."
Ye Kai turned from the passenger seat and smiled apologetically at his two companions. He had his own purpose for entering the Space and couldn't be tied down by the current Dongxia. Therefore, he chose to leave Dongxia and enter Paradise to hide temporarily.
But Elizabeth and Liu Qi originally both planned to join the Dongxia Special Affairs Bureau and become official Reincarnators.
Especially Liu Qi. Over forty years old and quite rigid in personality, he originally intended to use the specialization obtained in the Space through his family's inherited swordsmanship to teach at the Dongxia official organization, and take the opportunity to let the authorities restart universal ancient martial arts education.
But ultimately, both chose to follow the [Professor]'s actions.
"Oh, it's fine, it's fine, Professor... Little Ye, you have your difficulties. We've shared adversity for so long, naturally, we trust you!"
After some exchange, the three finally chose to get off at a place closest to the border line and cross the border on foot.
All three were Reincarnators. Without the hindrance of others, they quickly crossed the border and entered the dense forest.
Crack, crack...
In the woods, there were quite a few sounds. The three exchanged glances, all somewhat surprised.
There are actually this many Reincarnators choosing to head to [Paradise]!
Especially Elizabeth, her ears became long and narrow at this time. They twitched, and she rapidly and continuously reported numbers.
"46... 47, no, there are 48 footsteps to the east!"
Liu Qi, however, looked up at the sky and added:
"There are also some flying..."
Ye Kai looked up and sure enough, saw several figures swiftly passing by using various special flying devices.
Mercenary Tao's [Paradise] actually attracted so many Reincarnators. This turnout was much larger than he had anticipated.
Perhaps, [Paradise] would truly become a special Reincarnator gathering place existing in the real world!
This should have been considered a good thing, but thinking again that this place was controlled by someone with Mercenary Tao's style...
Ye Kai always felt as if another [End Empire] was rising...
"My Lord, these are the few most aligned with your inclination among the [Material] type quotes we have currently obtained."
In the Space, Jin Yue'an had a tendency to replace the Black Butler and become Kaito Shirogane's exclusive consultant.
This woman handled matters very efficiently. At the same time, her thinking was completely centered around Kaito Shirogane. What's even more rare was that she seemed to have somewhat figured out Kaito Shirogane's preferences!
Kaito Shirogane looked at the few quotes before him.
At the very top was a large bundle of fluorescent white hair.
Called hair, but from the appearance, it was more like the thickness of a fluorescent tube. At the very top, it was even connected to a bit of flesh the size of a fingernail.
[Hair of God]
[Quality: Wonder of the World]
[Description: The artificial body left behind after an existence called God in a certain world was blasted and killed, possessing intense energy]
[Effect: After appraisal, obtain material smelting information]
Seeing Kaito Shirogane's gaze locked onto this quote, Jin Yue'an immediately added:
"This thing originated from... Secondary World B711."
Kaito Shirogane's gaze moved, looking at Jin Yue'an. Jin Yue'an immediately nodded, confirming the guess Kaito Shirogane hadn't yet spoken.
"Yes, it's exactly that Secondary World you experienced, My Lord. This thing is highly likely the artificial body after Saitama killed God. Unknown which team obtained it, it has been hidden until now."
"The one trading with us is a Reincarnator codenamed [A Sword of Floating Red]. Furthermore, he does not accept trading after appraisal."
"But the Black Butler and I have analyzed that after appraising this thing, there is a huge probability that energy-related affixes will appear. After all... what that God seemed most proficient at was directly bestowing powerful energy."
Kaito Shirogane nodded. Not accepting post-appraisal trading was a clever choice. This indicated the other party lacked confidence in its post-appraisal value.
Moreover, the other party desired to sell at a high price!
"What does he want?"
Jin Yue'an looked down at the tablet, then said:
"Murder. He wants to ask you to kill people for him!"
The corners of Kaito Shirogane's mouth twitched, almost instantly revealing a smile. He patted Jin Yue'an's shoulder.
This woman truly understands very well what he wants.
Beneath Jin Yue'an's glasses, her eyes fluctuated, rarely somewhat excited. Not because she received praise, but because she verified her own conjecture.
She is approaching Lord Mercenary Tao's mode of thinking!
She continued to take out the data.
"The ones he wants to kill are a team named [Mottled Light Color]. There are only three members, all of them Titles..."
"Give me the coordinates."
Kaito Shirogane interrupted Jin Yue'an. He no longer cared about any Title level.
