Chapter 274 A Playful Child, A Lighthouse by the Sea
"elder brother!"
Aze Qiantan's eyes lit up, and he jumped down from the power line. Jiuzhi Che took a step aside and pulled the little boy along with him.
With a "thud," Aze Qiantan fell face-first to the ground, landing hard.
The little boy was startled.
Aze Qiantan jumped up, looking somewhat aggrieved, and pointed at the little boy: "Brother, can I eat him?"
"If you want your life to end, then give it a try."
"Oh...actually, I'm okay with eating candy too."
Aze Qiantan chuckled and held out his hand to the little boy: "Give me five pounds of those White Rabbit milk candies from last time."
"Huh?" The little boy was surprised; he had never eaten five pounds of candy in his life.
"These are all I have left." The little boy took out two stones.
Aze Qiantan snatched it without hesitation, unwrapped the candy, and put it in his mouth.
It seems she can taste the sweetness and it also provides her with a slight feeling of fullness.
But why?
Logically speaking, Aze Qiantan is only interested in brain matter, and would find other foods unpalatable and unable to satisfy his hunger.
Jiuzhiche was very curious, so he gave the Demon Eye a rating of 80%.
[Consumes 30% of Spirituality, Current Allocable Spirituality: 12%]
["Magic Eye" Activation Progress: 80%]
Demon Eye: Currently 80% activated, it allows you to see more detailed things in the world, such as different spiritual energies, demonic energies, resentment, the seven emotions and six desires, etc.
When Jiuzhiche looked at the candy in Aze Qiantan's hand again, he could see a faint white light emanating from it. He instantly realized that it was the aura of "goodwill".
Aze Qiantan chewed the candy twice and finished it.
"Manchu!"
Not far away, Kirie Goshima jogged over and, seeing Kurashige Tetsu next to her younger brother, asked in surprise, "Teacher?"
"Your brother?"
"Yes, teacher, she's your...sister?"
Goshima Kirie paused subtly, because Azawa Chitane and Kujiro Tetsuya were really not in the same art style.
Jiuzhi Che shook his head.
Mitsuo Goto tugged at his sister's hand: "Sister, Saburo and the others have been waiting for me for a long time, so I'm skipping lunch."
He knew his sister had come to find him to invite him to dinner, but he encountered this girl hanging on the power line on the way, and he couldn't just ignore her. Before he knew it, he was late for his appointment with his friends.
"Okay, come back soon." Goshima Kirie patted her younger brother's head.
"Don't pat my head! It'll make you grow shorter!" Goto Mitsuo slapped her hand away in dissatisfaction, then glanced at Azawa Chitan. Now that her brother was here, he could leave with peace of mind.
Kyuusei Tetsu and Goshima Kirie chatted briefly before leaving.
Aze Qiantan followed closely behind him.
After eating two candies, the intense hunger I felt was a little better.
"Brother, that ice cream truck hasn't come out lately."
"They'll never be able to get out again."
"Ah, uh."
She would starve to death without ice cream.
worry.
Jiu Zhiche stopped. "Hold out your hand."
Aze Qiantan did as instructed.
Jiu Zhiche touched one of her fingers and used Purification.
After reaching the maximum purification level, he can control the purification process more precisely, rather than simply focusing on destructive power.
For example, he can purify some of Aze Qiantan's bad habits, or rather, they are side effects brought to her by her demon bloodline.
Aze Qiantan felt the warmth in her fingers; it was a gentle power flowing through her body.
Two seconds later, she was surprised to find that the burning hunger had lessened considerably!
Seeing her expression, Jiu Zhiche knew it had worked. He said, "I have a small task for you..."
-
After sending Aze Qiantan away, Jiuzhi Che arrived at the seaside.
There aren't many people at the beach, mainly because most outsiders come for the whirlpools. There aren't many whirlpools at the beach, and the locals are used to it. They don't make a living by fishing anymore, so there aren't many people here usually.
Most of them were children collecting seashells and building sandcastles.
About a kilometer ahead, a lighthouse was built along the edge of the beach. It was originally built by people to observe the tides and waves. Now that the meteorological bureau observes and issues notices, it has gradually fallen into disuse.
However, the lighthouse door, which was normally locked, inexplicably opened today. The padlock fell to the ground, and the semi-circular latch rotated and twisted in a regular pattern.
"Thump!"
A child, annoyed that the lock was blocking the way, kicked it open.
"Let's go! Today we're going to explore the mysterious tower!"
"Let's go!"
The three children, their faces beaming with excitement, rushed inside.
Their excited cheers echoed through the spiraling corridor staircase.
The cheers stopped sometime later, and the surroundings became quiet.
Not long after, Mannan, who had followed the footprints to the lighthouse, peeked his head into the doorway:
"Sanlang? Si Yang? Xiao Yuan?"
There were only a few echoes in the air as Man Nan went in, calling out as he went upstairs.
After walking for about a minute, I still couldn't hear my friend's voice, only the sound of his footsteps going upstairs.
Man Nan felt a little panicked. He was almost certain that his three friends had come here because there were only their three footprints on the beach, the kind that belonged to children, not adults.
They agreed to meet in this area again; they could only have come here to explore because they had been waiting for a long time.
However, he remembered that Sanlang was the most boisterous, and he always let out the loudest laughter, which could be heard from hundreds of meters away.
The stairs are all the same, and the higher you go, the more swirling patterns appear on the stairs, walls, and ceiling, until they become almost densely packed.
If Mannan could tolerate the swirling patterns at first, once they became dense enough, he felt as if a cold wind was blowing through his bones.
He felt dizzy and leaned against the wall, gritting his teeth as he tried to back away.
He needs to find an adult to save them!
Man Nan stopped.
A strong, invisible wave emanated from ahead. He looked up, and a blinding white light flashed, engulfing his figure.
The burning, stinging sensation made Man Nan cry out.
It hurts! It feels like I'm on fire!
Suddenly, a cool breeze came, and a tall figure appeared before him, blocking all the white light.
Jiuzhiche glanced at the child; he had only suffered a slight burn, nothing serious.
"Follow me."
Man Nan followed fearfully, knowing that following his older brother was the right thing to do.
As Jiuzhi Che walked further forward, the swirling patterns had reached a point where they overlapped, almost filling the ground and walls.
It will also emit bursts of energy towards people who walk by, causing them to feel dizzy and quickly become bizarre.
He glanced at the child again.
Mannan's arm had already been turned inside out, but he was completely unaware of it.
After casting a purification spell, Mannan's body instantly returned to normal.
During the rest of the journey, he did not rapidly mutate, indicating that after being purified, his body had developed some resistance to this type of vortex organization.
I don't know if it's a function of the body itself or a purifying effect.
Two more minutes passed.
At this moment, the white light also stopped.
The higher you go, the stronger the burning effect of the white light becomes.
This is nothing to Jiu Zhiche.
But it will probably be difficult for those few children.
Finally, Jiuzhiche saw them, leaning against the wall, with burns covering more than 90% of their bodies and their organs displaced.
Arms and legs are all flipped over, head is also turned 180 degrees, chin is at the top, hair hangs down to chest.
