Chapter 118 Habit... Is It Wrong?

  "You guys are really monitoring me, aren't you?! Damn it, if I had known that earlier, I would have gone back to Earth with that rabbit directly!" Speaking of which, what happens when one fails a quest they accepted? It seems like it doesn't affect oneself much. However, since my personal sense of integrity is still at its maximum value, I'll do my best to complete it now that I've accepted it!

  Found out I was being taken advantage of by my employer. Can't I just complain a bit? At worst, I'll wait for an opportunity to settle the score later...

  A faintly discernible awkwardness flashed across the face of the demon queen's soul.

  "Cough cough, actually I still admire your integrity... really."

  "With no sincerity in his tone." Jiǔ Mìng shook his head, "Forget it, now is not the time to worry about this. To be honest, wouldn't it be more suitable for the four of us to split up in four different directions? I feel like our main role is just to drag each other down."

  "You're thinking too much." The Soul Spirit Witch revealed an unnatural smile.

  "I hope so." Jiǔ Mìng didn't believe her words at all. If nothing was wrong, why would she be running around everywhere?

  He was just curious about how he was being "monitored" by Yakumo Yukari, and as soon as he opened his senses, he carefully searched around him. Before he could find anything out of place, a pair of red eyes suddenly appeared in front of him.

  Uh... these eyes, he recognized them, weren't they the piercing eyes from the gaps? Seeing Jiǔ Mìng's shocked expression, that eye actually winked mischievously and then narrowed into a thin slit, a very fine black line that was hard to notice if you didn't look closely.

  "Alright. What a convenient ability." Kurenai shrugged, feeling more and more that Yakumo Yukari was hiding something. And she was especially good at grasping people's hearts, too - at the time when he himself felt dissatisfied with so-called surveillance, she even took the initiative to reveal the method of 'surveillance'.

  Hmph.

  Do all old monsters like playing like this?

  With a soft hum, the nine lives refocused their attention. Fortunately, it was a pretty girl who did this kind of thing; if it were a sturdy man, he would definitely have been beaten to death!

  "Actually, I felt it. As a mercenary, you're a bit unqualified."

  Having bypassed the guards on the road, and hiding together with Jiǔ Mìng in a place to rest and recover, the Soul Spirit Maiden couldn't help but say.

  "What did you say?"

  "You have too many doubts."

  "Cut, I'll say it once, I'm not a mercenary or anything, just accepted the commission." Jiǔ Mìng made a light humming sound, the content of the commission between him and Yāyún Zǐ was that she and the people around her could return to Earth normally. Now thinking about it, it seemed he had been calculated by her, wanting normalcy meant ensuring her safety - not mentioning who protected whom at critical moments.

  In short, because of this, if she chooses to do something suicidal on the moon during this period, Jiǔ Mìng cannot just sit back and do nothing. He wouldn't allow himself to be a bystander. Otherwise, when Yāyún Zǐ proposed strolling around the Moon Palace earlier, Jiǔ Mìng would have absolutely refused without hesitation.

  It's clear that doing such a thing is asking for death. If discovered, the result will be being hacked to death by random knives... or thrown into a water dungeon... or perhaps even an experimental table?

  Anyway, I feel that none of them is good.

  "By the way, do you know what Yakumo Yuko has been doing here all this time?" asked Kurenai with little hope. From the newspapers he snatched from those two guards, he saw a lot of news, such as someone eating a human-eating monster, and someone going around kicking schools, currently undefeated green-haired monster, inviting various folk martial arts masters to come and challenge, and so on...

  It's basically just waiting in the hospital for recovery now.

  A certain female youkai was going around kicking gyms, and it's already quite overbearing to say the least. The fact that she's still on a winning streak without ever having lost makes her even more overbearing. Except for those unknown big youkais who fell into obscurity, Kurenai didn't see any news about Yakumo Yukari at all.

  During this time, she won't be cooped up in some place with her girlfriends eating and sleeping together all the time, will she?

  Could it be true?

  It seems that those youkai have also become existences that only pretend to be useful, but are actually of some use. The majority of the moon's military strength has been mobilized to the outer realm of the moon.

  "This... Lord Purple should be preparing to investigate some secrets of the Moon Capital."

  "Huh?" Actually replied?

  "The moon is divided into the inner moon and the outer moon, with a boundary separating them. If you don't have a special way to enter, it's impossible to come here." The Soul Spirit Maiden hesitated for a moment before continuing, "That's all I know."

  "How amazing is this?" Jiǔ Mìng scratched his head, sounding quite high-end. Is the distinction between inside and outside? The place they are in now is actually the inner moon? In that case, it's not just amazing, but clearly on the moon, you can breathe, light a fire, and even the gravity hasn't changed. Moreover, what kind of person can create such an awesome boundary that covers such a large area?

  Now it seems like Yuyuko Saigyou is trying to get to the bottom of this barrier's secret?

  "Right, where are we now?" Jiǔ Mìng looked around in confusion, seemingly having arrived at a somewhat off-kilter place. But no, those guards were nowhere to be seen, and even that faint, narrow gap that had been following him was gone without a trace - Jiǔ Mìng had been keeping an eye on it the whole time.

  "How did I know..." The nine-tailed fox spirit girl walking behind him didn't even know where they had arrived, "I've been following you all along."

  "Huh? Let's take a look around first, come to think of it, I feel like we two are also soy sauce party."

  "If you don't come, I'll take action with Yūyūko-sama right now."

  "I didn't come here of my own accord... uh, a clock that appeared out of thin air?" Seeing the clock floating in mid-air ahead, Jiǔ Mìng cautiously stopped in his tracks.

  "What's with the clock? Is it for calculating time?" The Soul Spirit Witch asked, looking at the strange clock in front of her.

  "It's almost there, or we can take a detour?" Jiǔ Mìng suggested, but the Soul Spirit Demoness hesitated.

  "It's possible that this thing is very important..."

  "Hey! Something very important will be openly placed here, and there isn't even anyone around who can breathe?" Jiǔ Mìng knocked his own forehead, flipped out a sealed card, turned over a box of apples, and then put the rest back. The Soul Spirit Witch only gasped in shock.

  "How much stuff did you bring with you?! Even fruits?!"

  "Hey, when going out, one should always be prepared." Jiǔ Mìng waved his hand nonchalantly, after all, he had brought a lot of things... so many that even he himself felt like he was crazy at the time.

  The apple in his hand ran towards the strange clock, and when it approached a certain range of the clock, the apple, which was originally flying in a parabolic curve, seemed to have been decelerated, advancing in a strange slow motion.

  "This......" The Soul Spirit Witch was somewhat perplexed.

  "Hmm, slow down?" Jiǔ Mìng thought to himself, pinching his chin in contemplation. Seeing the clock, he associated it with time slowing down and all that. As a modern person, it was easy to think of this... but if it was just slowing down, then there's nothing much to it..."Damn it?"

  If you rush it, it's just nonsense!

  The apple, which was originally flying at a slow speed, flew a little further and suddenly appeared in the distance as if it had teleported. That's not all, after the apple's strange "teleportation", the fresh and plump apple turned into a rotten apple that had been left for a long time?

  "Hmm..." Half of the people and ghosts were stunned for a while, as if they had really come to an unbearable place. At this time, Jiū Mìng was distracted when his collar was pulled, and he turned to look at Yōu Líng with a puzzled expression. Her face looked very weak at that moment.

  All around, a lot of those strange clocks floated over unknowingly. There wasn't just one, and they could move too! They were lucky to have arrived here... or perhaps unlucky!

  "What's surprising about just moving?"

  “……Look at your waist.” Seeing that Jiuming was still very calm and hadn't noticed anything, the Soul Spirit Maiden pointed to his waist. He looked down and saw a clock that was only the size of a pocket watch. The clock looked beautiful too, with only hour and minute hands and time markers, just like a transparent clock.

  "Huh? I said moving around makes me feel a bit heavy-bodied."

  "Are you okay?" Referring to the fact that the apple had turned into a miserable state in the chaotic time, seeing Jiǔ Mìng now like an unaffected person, the Soul Spirit Witch was very surprised.

  "Perhaps it's because this is too small, so the power is insufficient." Jiǔ Mìng shook his head, he wasn't an apple or a dead object, even if time was distorted, due to his own strength, the distorted flow of time around him would also undergo some correction...

  Otherwise, with the power of time being so formidable, if you encounter someone who can manipulate space, why bother fighting? They can just open a spatial rift inside their enemy's body and crush their heart directly. How convenient is that?

  Effective against the weak and small, with high feasibility, against the strong... The other party's own strength is placed there, wanting to open a spatial crack is not possible to open into the opponent's body, unless it is outside Tear open the space crack, use the space dislocation to make a cheating-like invisible defense strike.

  As for resistance to time, the Nine Lives have been tossed around by Haruhi Suzumiya's power countless times, so their resistance to time distortion is not low at all. So even if all those clocks nearby float over, they'll still be fine!

  High resistance to high return, but not completely immune, they two seem to have become the bait that attracts these clocks.

  "I finally know why there's no one here, whoever comes here is dead!" With a hint of sadness, she glanced at a nearby luxurious palace, out of habit, she liked to wander towards those special places...

  It's a habit that creates problems, being able to live in such a luxurious place, who knows if it's another big BOSS's existence, and there are no patrols around, that's definitely not necessary to patrol the safety coefficient of this place is also off the charts.

  Don't mention what should have been thought of earlier... Shouldn't it be expected that there would be regrets afterwards? Or didn't think so!
