CHAPTER 194: CHAPTER 175: MYSTERIOUS WOMAN: MARI KYOKO

Outside Tianmu Temple, Yamada Miki watched Hojo Takeshi rush over with a somber expression.

When it comes to Lin Yi and the others, it can’t be hidden for long.

A little investigation will reveal the whole story.

Knowing he had angered many, Hojo Takeshi didn’t bother to make excuses.

This time, Hojo Takeshi walked directly up to Yamada Miki,

"I will bear my mistakes, but only after dealing with those Chinese."

At this moment, a fierce anger was burning in Hojo Takeshi’s eyes.

Yamada Miki glanced at Hojo Takeshi, then turned his head towards Tianmu Temple and murmured:

"Hojo-kun, do your best."

Hojo Takeshi was taken aback by these words but did not say any more.

Because the consequences for causing such significant losses to the He Clan cannot be smoothed over in just a few words?

If Lin Yi only killed Yamada Miki and those of the Orochi Society, it would be fine; even if Yamada Miki knew it was Hojo Takeshi’s plot, he couldn’t do anything to him.

Because Hojo Takeshi had already planned how to deal with Yamada Miki’s anger from the beginning.

But what Hojo Takeshi did not expect was that this group of Chinese would possess such extraordinary abilities and decimate the entire He Clan.

This time, the nation’s anger was not something Hojo Takeshi could bear.

It’s safe to say that after this event, even if I manage to escape disaster, regaining the previous reputation is almost impossible.

And the one who caused all this is: Feng Hua!

Within the entire He Clan, no one probably wanted to kill Feng Hua more than Hojo Takeshi did.

Calculating the time until the copy expires, a group of people outside Tianmu Temple stood ready, waiting for Lin Yi and the others to appear.

Inside Tianmu Temple, Lin Yi and his group were dumbfounded, staring at the suddenly appearing mysterious woman.

Seeing there were four minutes left before being sent out of the instance, Lin Yi wasn’t in a hurry to summon the Elf Dragon.

While guarding against the other party’s sudden action, Lin Yi looked at her in bewilderment and asked:

"You?"

"Then may I ask, how do you plan to help us?"

This woman’s appearance was too bizarre; if not for not sensing ill intentions, Lin Yi would’ve made a move by now.

Even so, Lin Yi still prepared his skills on standby.

If something seemed off, he would strike without hesitation and wouldn’t show mercy just because the opponent was a woman.

Facing Lin Yi and the others stood a graceful woman, her face covered with a thin veil.

Her ID was: Mari Kyoko.

Mari Kyoko was unperturbed by the sarcasm in Lin Yi’s words and said calmly:

"I can tell you information about the Cyclops and help you leave here to find them."

"But I want to know why you are looking for the Cyclops?"

The crowd was shocked by these words.

Was this like someone offering a pillow when you’re sleepy?

Handsome Waste first expressed doubt:

"Is this real? Could it be their conspiracy?"

Tianzhi joked with a teasing tone:

"And got someone so pretty, I feel the need to check her identity."

Saying that, he pretended to step forward.

Zhang Xinying, seeing Tianzhi’s sleazy look, couldn’t help but roll her eyes and threatened:

"Do you want me to tell Xiaoxue about this?"

When Zhang Xinying spoke up, Tianzhi immediately turned around and laughed:

"Just kidding, just kidding to ease the tension."

Lin Yi glared at him with a chuckle:

"Stop it, get aside."

Tianzhi cheerfully retreated to one side.

Then Lin Yi said honestly to Mari Kyoko:

"I hope to learn about their disappearance and help them return home."

Regarding his motives, Lin Yi had no intention of hiding them.

Surely I can’t say: I traveled so far just to witness the Cyclops, right?

Someone has to believe that first.

Moreover, Hojo Takeshi already knew about this; even if Lin Yi wanted to hide it, he probably couldn’t.

Given that, it’s better to speak openly.

Lin Yi even thought if causing a stir would help him find them, it might make things easier.

Was it Lin Yi’s illusion?

When Lin Yi stated his purpose, the woman named Mari Kyoko seemed rather excited?

Her subsequent reaction confirmed this, showing a bit of delight and enthusiasm:

"Really?"

Lin Yi couldn’t figure out what this woman really wanted, but he answered earnestly:

"I have no reason to deceive you about this."

"Alright, I believe you."

After receiving Lin Yi’s response, Mari Kyoko stated excitedly:

"Let me help you leave here and find them."

Uh~

Surprised by her unexpected reaction, Lin Yi asked curiously:

"As a member of the He Clan, why are you helping us?"

Mari Kyoko suddenly smiled, the first time any of them saw such an expression from her.

Yet, it was mostly hidden by that veil.

This did not stop everyone from being awed by her beauty.

Handsome Waste glanced at Tianzhi, jesting:

"You better restrain yourself a bit, lest I report to President Xia."

Tianzhi was stunned at these words, looking nervous:

"Come on man, let’s talk this out, don’t accidentally hurt a brother!"

Shiyu looked at the serious-faced Zhan Chen beside him and asked:

"Don’t you think he’s good-looking?"

Zhan Chen glanced at Mari Kyoko and said flatly:

"Not my type."

Shiyu asked curiously:

"Then what is your type?"

Zhan Chen looked at Shiyu and smiled meaningfully.

Shiyu knew this was coming as soon as she asked the question, and her face flushed slightly.

For Lin Yi or everyone’s shared confusion, Mari Kyoko slowly said:

"I have another name, Wu Xiaoya, and I really like this name too."

Wu Xiaoya?

A name of the Hua Country people.

Lin Yi and the others looked at each other, puzzled by what this meant.

Even Zhan Chen beside her asked Mari Kyoko:

"Your father is probably from Hua Country, isn’t he?"

"Yes!"

Mari Kyoko nodded and said:

"Although I was born here, I prefer living in Hua Country."

"Unfortunately, my parents’ work is here, so I can only occasionally go back to Hua Country to have fun."

"I really like stinky tofu from Hua Country, it’s delicious."

Speaking of food, a shy smile appeared on Mari Kyoko’s face.

At this moment, Handsome Di Zha suddenly became interested and said:

"See, there’s a common language here."

Mari Kyoko smiled at Handsome Di Zha and then looked at Lin Yi,

"As for the Cyclops matter, I think if you come with me to a place, you’ll understand."

Finally, Lin Yi understood the general idea of the situation.

Seeing the time to exit the instance entering the countdown, Lin Yi couldn’t help but ask:

"So how do you plan to help us leave here?"

Mari Kyoko gave a mysterious smile:

"I will pull you in a moment, you will receive a prompt, just choose to agree."

Probably worried that Lin Yi and others still didn’t trust her, Mari Kyoko looked at them sincerely:

"Please believe me, I don’t intend to harm you, okay?"

At this point, Shengshi Drunkard and others turned their gaze towards Lin Yi.

Lin Yi:

"Why are you all looking at me?"

Shengshi Drunkard said straightforwardly:

"Since you brought us here, don’t you think you should also be the one to make decisions?"

Tian Ci directly added:

"Anyway, whatever you say goes, we’ll listen to you."

Zhan Chen:

"In the future, for things like this, you don’t need to look at us, just decide for yourself."

Shiyu rarely added a word:

"Brother Feng, you make the decision."

Mari Kyoko seemed to recognize Lin Yi’s status in the team and shifted her gaze to Lin Yi,

"Feng Hua-kun, can you trust me?"

"Once you get there, you’ll see that I’m not lying to you."

In enemy territory, asking Lin Yi to completely trust an ’enemy’ was indeed asking a lot.

But if this matter involved the Cyclops, then it had to be seriously reconsidered.

After all, the Cyclops was key to whether Lin Yi and the others could return.

If they couldn’t go back, Lin Yi would likely feel trapped in this foreign land.

No matter how strong Lin Yi was, could he be stronger than a country?

In a place surrounded by danger, let alone enhancing power, surviving without dying was already a miracle.

Moreover, Lin Yi didn’t want his decisions to implicate others.

Although no one said anything, Lin Yi still felt a lot of pressure inside.

Seeing the countdown nearing its end, Lin Yi hesitated between the Elf Dragon and the woman.

But in the end, Lin Yi decided to take a gamble,

"Fine, I’ll trust you this time."

Lin Yi looked at Mari Kyoko, his face serious:

"I hope it’s truly as you say, otherwise..."

Mari Kyoko smiled warmly,

"No otherwise."

Under everyone’s gaze, without seeing Mari Kyoko make any move, Lin Yi suddenly received a system prompt:

Player "Mari Kyoko" is using position transfer on you, do you agree?

[Yes][No]

Since he chose to trust, Lin Yi unhesitatingly clicked: [Yes].

Then Lin Yi’s vision went dark, and in the next moment, he suddenly heard the sound of water.

When Lin Yi opened his eyes, he found himself in a dim, damp environment.

Tian Ci:

"Where is this?"

Shengshi Drunkard:

"Is this indoors?"

Just then, Mari Kyoko’s voice suddenly came from the side:

"Welcome to the Water Prison of Sapporo City."
