Chapter 95: Various Monstrous Existences

  In this era, the high-energy beam gun in Jiǔ Mìng's hand can be put mildly as a blunt instrument, or to put it harshly, it's just a fire poker!

  "It shouldn't be." Munching on the roasted fish in his hand, Jiǔ Mìng couldn't figure out why the other party had come looking for him, or what kind of purposeful nature this was. Although he didn't mind sitting down and chatting with beautiful girls, he also wasn't someone who would become infatuated at first sight.

  Even beautiful women often have privileges from birth.

  Good grief, it seems that almost every girl I've met is a fighter jet among fighter jets. Scratching my head, I couldn't help but acknowledge this frustrating fact. Whether it's Haruhi Suzumiya or Yuki Nagato, even C.C isn't an ordinary being. And the ones I've encountered here are monsters.

  After this comparison, I'm actually quite normal! It's just a pity about that last interval card.

  When will I ever meet a soft and cute girl? Nine Lives chuckled at his own joke, took a bite of the grilled fish in his hand, and looked up to see that big fox, Hachiyori Azure staring at him with an inexplicable gaze. "Do you want some fish?"

  The fox bridge glanced at the nine lives with a crisp glance, indicating that it did not accept food from strangers, just don't move your nose around, okay?

  "How... did you come out of Lord Violet's gap?" She had clearly seen Nine Lives jump out from the gap with a pile of roasted fish, which she saw almost every day! Lord Violet was an existence that represented one person per race, so her ability was impossible for outsiders to have, but Nine Lives used it.

  This filled her with doubts about Jiumeng's identity.

  "Chop! This kind of thing can be learned by just taking a glance... Alright, I knew you wouldn't believe me, anyway there are various reasons, business secrets." Jiǔ Mìng smiled slightly, not minding the fox's glare at all. "By the way, ask you something, do you know if there is someone around here with white hair, wearing red and blue... looks like a Taoist priest but also similar to a nurse uniform... or a monster?"

  “……”

  "This is the reward." Jiǔ Mìng pointed at the two roasted fish on the ground, still warm and skewered with wooden sticks.

  "I don't know." Hachiguma Azure also didn't mince words, swiping his paw to take away the two roasted fish. "The nearby demons are just temporarily gathering here, and there may be even more demons coming around these parts in the next couple of days - how could I possibly remember every single one?"

  "Nobody will intrude here, right?"

  The big fox looked at Jiǔ Mìng with a strange gaze, "Whose territory is this? I'm asking you, have you provoked some powerful demon that you can't afford to mess with?"

  "Hmm, I don't know, anyway it was the other party who took the initiative to find me." Jiǔ Mìng shrugged his shoulders, indicating that this matter had nothing to do with him, and in a certain sense, he was also a victim.

  "How is that possible, the great demon isn't a psychopath, it won't attack others if not provoked." The fox said generally at first, pausing for a moment, using 'generally' instead of definitely, obviously not finishing her sentence. It seems she was wondering if there really were any psychopathic beings among those top-level existences.

  "Alright, you don't recognize the white-haired one, so let's try another... The girl with a red plaid dress, red eyes and green hair who looks scary when she smiles... Ugh, did I not gut the roasted fish? What's with that disgusted expression on your face?"

  The originally calm and collected big fox, after hearing Jiǔ Mìng's words, didn't even bother to eat the roasted fish, its large fox eyes staring fixedly at Jiǔ Mìng, "Speak clearly!"

  Look at her expression, she should know, right?

  "She seems to like watching flowers."

  The great fox was silent for a moment, and when the fox's eyes looked at Jiǔ Mìng again, they added a few more surprised and pitiful expressions, "She actually came too... You must have been tempted by her appearance and provoked the other party!"

  "Although she's beautiful, I'm not so low that I'd be like a fly buzzing around every pretty girl I see!" Jiǔ Mìng retorted loudly, feeling belittled by the big fox in front of him. Am I that kind of person?!

  "It's also true that if you provoke her, you won't be able to come back alive." The great fox nodded and specially warned Jiǔ Mìng, "In short, if you encounter her again, try to avoid her as much as possible. Never get into conflict with her, and if possible, don't even let her take an interest in you."

  "Hmm? If a beauty takes an interest in me... This is completely unavoidable, right?" Jiǔ Mìng curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled, this was purely joking.

  The fox's eyes turned white for a moment, and she didn't care about Jiuming's words. "As far as I know, most of the objects of her interest are dead."

  "What!?" The smile on Jiǔ Mìng's face froze, and he tapped his ears to make sure he hadn't misheard. "Uh, generally speaking..."

  "That's just in general." Hachiko interrupted Kuroba's words, "In any case, her reputation is quite notorious among the yōkai crowd, and even onmyouji and other spiritualists don't want to meet her. When it comes to fighting, she's infamous for being ruthless and brutal, and with her combat strength and special abilities, there are hardly any humans or yōkai who would dare provoke her."

  "What if she provoked others?" Jiǔ Mìng's mouth twitched violently, damn it, how did he encounter such a ruthless killing god?

  "I'm doomed anyway, and if I can survive... even if you're a nobody, you'll become famous afterwards. Some people used to think that way before, but no one thinks like that now."

  Nine lives are not needed to understand one's expression now becomes very colorful, "Then she should not take the initiative to provoke trouble?"

  For some reason, he suddenly remembered that little flower and the unlucky demon who was entwined with it, which didn't seem to be what he had in mind.

  "Not... when she feels bored, it's usually a disaster for many youkai or human mages or onmyouji." The fox said, stretching out one of its paws to touch its forehead. "Don't look at me with such surprise, although normally she wouldn't attack very weak guys, but she might also playfully toy with and slaughter them mercilessly, and with her abilities, sometimes you can't even die if you want to."

  "......" Jiǔ Mìng directly slapped open Bā Yún Lán, pointing at his own claws, "Why did you substitute me into the description!?"

  Being patted by Jiǔ Mìng, Bā Yún Lán didn't mind and continued to say, "It's just the two of us here, I couldn't possibly describe myself... Remember, her reputation is quite notorious, you can figure it out with a little inquiry, so wherever she is, don't go around carelessly touching those flowers and grasses."

  "Of course, if possible, it's best to choose a place that is far, far away from her. Who knows when she might come and unleash a massacre..."

  "What if I accidentally run into her? Is there a way to deal with it?" He couldn't help but think of the cold smile she had shown him at the time, and Jiǔ Mìng continued to ask, perhaps the other party would forget about him soon, but what if not?

  "No!" The great fox replied decisively. "The opponent's demonic energy reserves are even unclear to Lord Zi, unless you can defeat her in a short period of time, otherwise you will be dragged to death sooner or later, and the existence that can defeat her in a short period of time... how is your endurance?"

  "What's with the sudden change of subject?"

  "I've made myself clear, if she doesn't have any special abilities then she's as good as dead... No, it would be better for her to commit suicide if she can, she won't give up just because the target gives up resisting. Don't change the subject, I've said this much already, you should talk about yourself now."

  "Hmm... Nine Lives let out a long sigh, this brutality is completely at odds with that slender and charming face of yours! A super sadistic S with cruel and ruthless means!"

  "I, uh, I'm just ordinary." Jiǔ Mìng scratched his head, looking a bit embarrassed, but unexpectedly earned the big fox's nod. What do you mean!

  "Not even a hint of evil spirit, I really don't know if you'll become a ghost, and you still haven't answered my question."

  "It varies from person to person, of course. If you're going all out, 10,000 to 8,000 is a bit too much, and 1,000 to 800 is a bit too little... if you conserve your stamina, you can fight for a while... I haven't actually tried it yet." He hasn't met an enemy that's made him go all out yet. That one time he got knocked out in one hit was just bad luck, "If you're being wasteful... about half a second or so."

  How high can the explosive force be exchanged for all one's spiritual power in an instant? Nine lives have never been tried, and even if I want to try, I don't dare. The consequence of doing so is that there is a 95% chance that he will die, and even if he is lucky enough not to die, it is estimated that the recovery time will be quite long.

  Nine Lives was ready to mock him, but the Great Fox responded calmly and didn't say anything else. Nine Lives curled up his mouth, okay, the fox is very clever, if she saw through his words because of Nine Lives', he wouldn't say anything, just that he would inevitably give her an attribute of 'looking down on people with a dog's eyes'.

  The ability to continue fighting is sometimes very important, but sometimes it doesn't seem so important, and this point is particularly evident in assassins.

  Others can finish with just one second or even less, what's the point of continuing? Go to hell and find an acquaintance to pour a cup of tea, drink slowly while chatting.

  After finishing speaking, Jiǔ Mìng saw Bā Yún Lán being a bit distracted while glancing at the gate after discussing that green-haired girl. He guessed something, "Could it be that Zǐ and she have had dealings before?"

  “……Nothing to report.” Ba Yunlan gave Jiuming a cold glance and turned around, “Don't go running around before the night of the full moon, in case you run into something you can't handle and get yourself killed. I'd have a hard time explaining it to Lord Zi as well.”

  "You're underestimating people too much, just in case I meet her, I'm not the kind of person who's born with a mocking face, it should be fine." Jiǔ Mìng replied unpleasantly, thinking to herself whether she should go talk to Bā Yún Zǐ and get a few Interval Cards from her, anyway opening and closing the interval a few times wouldn't consume much of her energy.

  It's fine, let's start by bribing her with food first. Jiuyi touched the side of his hand, empty and hollow. Ah! Not right! There were seven roasted fish, two were given to the fox, he ate two, there should be three left...

  Thinking of the fox's hasty departure just now, Jiǔ Mìng's expression stiffened.
