Jackie Chan Adventures: I, the Mirror God, Master of Fear

Chapter 149 Guardians and Rulers

"Sir, where are you from?"

A deep, muffled voice rang out, startling the old man.

He turned his head sharply and immediately saw a minotaur in uniform. The minotaur's scarlet eyes were full of friendliness as he smiled and spoke.

"Hey~ Minotaur!"

The old man held up the dried pufferfish in his hand and couldn't help but take a half step back.

After all, minotaurs are known for their violent tempers; according to records, they are man-eating creatures.

The minotaur was taken aback, then quickly showed the badge on his chest and said as kindly as possible, "Don't worry, sir, I'm from the police station. Look at this badge, it won't hurt you."

"I just noticed you seemed a bit lost, so I wanted to ask if you needed any help."

The old man looked at the minotaur with suspicion.

He then turned and left, saying, "I don't need your help. I've taken the wrong turn. I'm leaving now."

"True, what are you waiting for? Let's go."

Tru was startled, then immediately followed his father. As his father continued chanting incantations, they gradually disappeared from the kingdom.

I waited for about thirty seconds.

The old man, grumbling and cursing, led Tru back in.

"Oh dear, why didn't you say so sooner? Xiaoyu and the others must have already been attracted by that resurrected guy."

“Um, sir, I already said that.”

"Hey~ You dare to talk back? Your father is so old, what's wrong with repeating myself a couple more times? You dare to be impatient with your father now?"

"I'm sorry, sir."

"Then what are we waiting for? Aren't we supposed to help Dad? Let's take Dad to find Xiaoyu!"

The minotaur paused for a moment, then immediately smiled and said, "Hehe, no problem. Welcome to Twilight City. I'll take you to the police station to register. If someone goes missing, we have a special divination department to help you find them. If you lose items, we can also ask our space hounds to search for them in the Mystery Realm. This way."

The old man followed the minotaur through cities with different architectural styles.

The city's buildings are divided into several areas. Some of these areas have only one-story buildings, but they are over thirty meters high, clearly designed for large creatures to live in.

In some areas, the buildings are only half a meter high, which looks very tiny, while most buildings are four or five meters high.

These buildings are neatly arranged in different areas, appearing orderly.

Passing through these areas, the group arrived at a cluster of generally tall buildings. This seemed to be a public area, where dwarves about a meter tall were swinging giant hammers to forge iron, and tiny elves the size of a palm were weaving through the crowd.

The tall stone men, minotaurs, trolls, and other races always watch their step when they walk, afraid of stepping on elves, dwarves, or gnomes.

Titan's laws are quite strict when it comes to security, especially in these public areas.

If a stampede occurs due to negligence, these large animals will be expelled or forced to work, with all their earnings going to the families of the injured until their sentences are served.

Of course, the concept of staged accidents doesn't exist in this era.

After all, this is the Kingdom of Earth, an empire that wields powerful supernatural abilities, where no lie can truly be hidden.

No weakling is foolish enough to try to lie to the strong.

No powerful person would be foolish enough to attempt to provoke the monarch of this empire.

Therefore, according to the rules set by the Titans, any creature willing to move to this kingdom will most likely have a smile on its face.

The old man looked at the peaceful scene around him, his eyes momentarily glazed over, some of his prejudices shattered, and he quietly followed the minotaur inside.

They arrived at the police station, which was not actually deserted. Many people came to report cases, but most of them were trivial matters.

For example, not far from the old man was a giant thirteen meters tall, kneeling in front of a middle-aged elf, saying that he and his daughter had an undying love.

Perhaps the scene was too absurd, for both Dad and Tru looked at it several times with a strange expression in their eyes.

Perhaps even a tiny elf, no bigger than the palm of your hand, could make a home in the cochlea of ​​a giant?

The minotaur noticed this and whispered to his father, "Although there's not much racial discrimination in Twilight City, we don't often see things like this. They've been pleading for ages, but the elf just won't budge."

The old man's lips twitched: "If it were me, I wouldn't be happy either!"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent for a moment. The giant turned his head angrily, but when he saw that it was someone he couldn't afford to offend, he couldn't help but pout, almost bursting into tears.

The middle-aged elf's face lit up, and he immediately flew over with his hands behind his back: "Old sir, you be the judge! It's not that I can't accept interracial marriage, but this is going too far! If he were an earth fairy, a flower fairy, a water fairy, or even a high elf, I would definitely agree, but a giant..."

The old man's lips twitched as he listened to the middle-aged man complaining about his daughter meeting the wrong blond guy, and how their relationship was still the kind of painful, unwavering love they would never forget.

I had a bit of a headache for a moment.

Tru and the minotaur listened with great interest, occasionally nodding in agreement, but under the aggrieved gaze of the other party involved, they hurriedly tried to make amends.

He stated that he did not discriminate against giants.

"His mother died young. Back in the Thunder Kingdom, there was no such thing as human rights, especially for those newborns."

"After enduring countless hardships along the way, I finally arrived here, obtained my household registration, and then encountered this again."

Dad:.
This little elf is really pitiful. Listening to his complaints, the old man hesitated several times before stopping, not wanting to interrupt. This guy is too talkative.

This was the first time Dad had scolded himself for being so talkative.
And the other side.

Xiaoyu and Jackie Chan had similar experiences.

The only difference is that Xiaoyu has an excited, screaming voice in her mind, which allows her to quickly understand everything she sees.

Hehe, there's hope here, and beauty here too. Surprisingly, most of the obsessions here are beautiful!

No wonder it can summon the power of miracles! Wow, this place is practically paradise; the power of miracles is gathering here, hehe.

The voice in my head was pleasant, like that of a child who never grows up.

Judging by her age, she should be the one acting like this child. But Xiaoyu felt that this wasn't so bad; she hoped that things would always be this innocent and pure.
The young girl, with a faint smile on her lips, strolled leisurely through the empire with Jackie Chan, who was looking around.

Everything here, from the bizarre and wonderful sights to the friendly and helpful interactions, exceeded their expectations.

Jackie Chan also became less wary, simply holding the girl's hand and following her subtle guidance as they walked through this bizarre city.

Hey, Xiaoyu, it's here to see you. Quick, say hello. Someone who can bear such a strong will must be very, very gentle and kind.

I hope to speak up with excitement.

Xiaoyu was slightly taken aback, and the smile on her lips faded a little.

Jackie Chan stopped, looking at the girl who had suddenly stopped walking. The relaxation in his eyes vanished abruptly, and he asked warily, "What's wrong, Xiaoyu?"

He followed Xiaoyu's gaze and saw a little girl with a faint smile on her lips slowly approaching them to their left.

All the creatures of every race greeted the girl respectfully, and it was clear that their respect for her was truly heartfelt.

The girl approached, her gaze serene.

Xiaoyu then noticed her eyes. They were orange, and looked incredibly pure, like beautiful gemstones, giving off an aura of inviolability.

She looked at Xiaoyu and then at Jackie Chan.

For some reason, when Jackie Chan faced those eyes, the wariness in his own eyes also dissipated.

No one would believe that a creature with these eyes could be evil.

She finally looked at Xiaoyu: "Did you come here to kill me?"

Her voice was very pleasant and gentle, but the question she asked stunned both the girl and Jackie Chan.

The two looked at each other, both of them somewhat at a loss.

"of course not!"

Xiaoyu answered directly, "We are just..."

She was momentarily speechless. She couldn't very well say that she had come to stop their king from returning, could she?
Seemingly noticing Xiaoyu's mood, the girl smiled and turned around: "Come with me."

The earth formed a long conveyor belt beneath their feet.

They carried Jade and Jackie Chan as they traveled through it.

The girl looked around at the scene in her dream, her voice still ethereal: "I read the information of the earth, and it told me many things."

"Hey~"

She let out a long sigh, her tone somewhat complicated: "The development of the times is always so unexpected."

The surrounding light and shadow shifted, and the scenery in the vast earth kingdom constantly changed.

“I can understand your fear of the monarch, and I don’t blame you for wanting to kill me. It’s just that protecting His Majesty the Earth Lord is the duty of the Titans.”

Her voice was full of gentleness as she stopped in a city while walking.

They found Old Man and Tru in the police station, amidst their somewhat surprised gazes and the heartfelt respect shown to the creatures around them.

I brought them along on this journey.

Finally, it slowly merged into the underground and came to rest in a lost underground city.

There are no illusions in this city, as if those beautiful obsessions have been shut out from the outside world.

The girl waved, and everything around her lit up.

"This is the heart of the Kingdom of Earth, and the royal city of the Earth Lord. The Titans and the Earth Lord have always lived here."

The girl raised her hand.

The top of the kingdom unfolds like a starry sky, with flowers radiating seven colors and containing a touch of miraculous power blooming in the city.

In the middle of the sea of ​​flowers, a woman dressed in a white battle dress, six meters tall, like a human scaled up, but more perfect than a human, was curled up in a large, transparent cocoon.

Yellow and rainbow-colored light particles were gathering in the flowers and on the earth, gradually restoring her vitality.

The girl turned around and looked sincerely at the group of four: "The earth tells me that even Lord Cursed Blue has failed, and Lord Earth Demon certainly cannot survive against magic that counters it."

"The power of miracles is merely a beautiful yearning for the kingdom of earth. They are very resistant to doing anything to disrupt the current peace. I cannot deceive this beautiful expectation and make it a power that belongs only to me."

"However, I cannot bear to watch His Majesty the Earthly Lord be sent to hell again."

"Therefore, after thinking about it just now, I've decided to hand this difficult problem over to you."

She pointed to the figure that was slowly reviving inside the giant, transparent cocoon.

"That is my true form, and also the core of this miraculous power revival."

"The Titans of the earth love peace, and we will not break the current peace and bring slaughter to the world."

"Therefore, I will not resist. Kill me. I cannot control what the Earthly Lord is doing. This is the inevitable outcome, after all, the Titans have long been extinct."

"This doesn't mean I abandoned Your Majesty. I never had the power to protect Your Majesty. This is just a way for me to use your sense of justice to carry out a form of moral blackmail?"

The girl's voice was very gentle, and she seemed indifferent to her own life or death.

She looked at the four people whose expressions had become complicated, and a treasure box appeared in her hand, emanating a strong aura of justice.

She gently placed the four people in front of the sea of ​​flowers, then turned around, looked down at the earth, and left unhurriedly with the Panku Treasure Box in her hand, her last words softly uttered.

“If you do not kill me, my power will protect Your Majesty the Earth King, and we will rebuild the Kingdom of Earth underground. I guarantee this in the name of the Titans.”

"The Lord of the Underworld will not step out of the underground world for a thousand years. And, a thousand years from now, I will assist the Lord of the Underworld in becoming the guardian of the kingdom, not its ruler."

"Just like tens of thousands of years ago."
