Chapter 135 Heavenly Dao: You think I'm on the first level, but I'm actually in the atmosphere [Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets]

"Mr. Shuimo, it doesn't taste good."

Upon hearing this, Tiandao also put down his chopsticks and said with a smile, "Yes, it really isn't very tasty."

"But why didn't you tell Danica?"

A cold glint flashed in Tiandao's glasses as he solemnly gave his answer.

"Because I wanted you to try it too. After all, what if it's not that the noodles are bad, but that there's something wrong with my sense of taste?"

Danica: "."

Despite Tiandao's serious tone and expression.

But the little guy who had been with him for several days instantly realized that this was definitely a prank by the heavens.

Without a doubt, this is the way of Heaven!

Thinking of this, Danica immediately turned her head away, her cheeks puffed out like an angry little pufferfish, clearly showing that she was angry.

Tiandao was not worried about this, and instead placed a stack of money on the table.

Looking at the banknotes, which had already exceeded the price of two bowls of noodles.

After hesitating for a moment, the ramen shop owner pushed the money back and said, "Sir, you've given me a bit too much money."

"This extra money is to compensate you for the items that get damaged here later."

Upon hearing this, the owner seemed to understand something and looked up towards the entrance of the noodle shop.

Suddenly, a group of men wearing blood-red skull masks appeared outside the noodle shop.

And the one leading the group was none other than Cicero, the Blood Skull henchman who had recently caused trouble at the Rusty Nail Tavern.

I don't know who gave this guy the courage.

Cicero kicked open the wooden door first, and upon seeing Tendou and Danica near the bar, arrogantly said, "Blood Skull is handling this. All bystanders, get out of here!"

Upon hearing Cicero's words, the remaining customers in the noodle shop immediately scattered like birds and beasts.

Even the owner of the noodle shop and his kitchen helpers ran out through the back door.

For a moment, in the cramped noodle shop, only Tendou, dressed in the uniform of the Fifth Division Captain, and Danica, who was also dressed in the Star Envoy uniform, were left, confronting the murderous gangsters.

But a comical scene soon unfolded.
boom!
Amidst the laughter of the audience from the other dimension.

Cicero, this self-proclaimed handsome gangster, was once again thrown out of the store.

And just like not long ago, he was lying on the ground with his butt sticking out, in a very embarrassing way.

Different times, different places, but the same result.

Although the audience in the anime/manga world all know that Cicero is just a nobody.

However, it was included in the main feature twice by the production team.

This means that this guy will definitely play a role.

"Let's go, take me to meet your new boss."

Upon hearing Tiandao mention that their Blood Skull had recently changed leaders, he was immediately struck by the news.

Cicero's pupils contracted instantly.

Because he clearly remembered that their new leader had specifically said that.

It's best not to reveal their information in the near future.

The newly arrived captain of the Fifth Division, however, immediately revealed information that should only be known to members of their own organization.

It's obvious that they've lured a 'ghost' into their Blood Skull team!
"What, aren't you going to do it yet?"

"I guess you don't want me to send you to the prison in the upper city, do you?"

Cicero shuddered, then noticed the Heavenly Dao's lenses, which were completely covered in light.

After hesitating for a moment, he immediately stood up without hesitation.

"Okay, okay, I'll take you there right away."

Faced with the choice between betraying his gang and saving his own life, Cicero unhesitatingly chose the former.

After all, he only makes a few dollars a month; it's not worth risking his life for a gang!
[Rusty Iron Hell, District 4, inside an underground potion factory]

"Kong, I told you long ago to let this idiot go up by himself."

"See? Now you're in trouble, aren't you? You're wanted along with this guy. Let's see what you're going to do now."

Liu Ma looked at Chen Kong sitting not far away and couldn't help but complain to him.

Vivian, whom he called troublesome, was not angry at all. Instead, she calmly tried to persuade Chen Kong as well.

“Kong, your friend is right. You don’t actually need to help me. I will go to the church myself, explain the problem to the bishop, and clear your name.”

Looking at the rigid and stubborn Vivian, Chen Kong pinched his brow with a headache.

Because this girl is just like her obsessive father, incredibly stupid.
"Vivian, haven't you figured it out yet?"

"The church doesn't care whether you are innocent or not; they just want to find someone to take the blame."

"Otherwise, if you were sent by the higher-ups to find the church's sacred relic, why are they saying that you stole it?"

"Isn't this blatant framing and shifting blame?"

"So, listen to me, let's go outside and lay low for a while, and come back when we've investigated the situation thoroughly."

"If you go up now, what's the difference between that and a lamb entering a tiger's den?"

Vivian understood what Chen Kong was saying.

But she has her own principles.

"I'm sorry, Kong, I can't leave. If I leave, no matter what happens afterward, everyone will think I'm the kind of thief who steals things."

“I would rather die to prove my innocence than let such a thing happen.”

"."

Seeing the stubborn Vivian, Chen Kong and Liu Ma both fell silent.

Because they had considered trying to persuade her over the past two days.

But each time, the other party rejected him.

This angered Liu Ma, who then told Chen Kong to abandon the guy.

After all, who would knowingly walk into a trap?

What is this if not a fool?
Perhaps it was because she didn't want to burden Chen Kong and Liu Ma. After hesitating for a moment, Vivian finally revealed her reason.

“Kong, Liu Ma, I know you are both good people, and you understand how much trouble my decision has caused you.”

“But the code of chivalry that my father William protected with his life must not be destroyed in my hands. I cannot bring shame upon him.”

"Therefore, even if I die, I will find a way to tell everyone the truth and have the church clear my name."

"Depend on!"

Vivian still looked like a stone, completely unmovable by persuasion.

Liu Ma, who was impatient, got anxious.

He scratched his hair hard, then pointed at Vivian and said, "No, Miss Knight, have you lost your mind?"

"If you leave now and come back after the investigation is complete, will it affect your ability to clear your name? Why can't you be more flexible!"

In response, Vivian calmly replied, "If I choose to leave, it means that I have compromised with evil to some extent, and I will not allow myself to compromise, because I must protect this precious thing that my father left me."

"The name of the Clockwork Knight must never fall into my hands, Vivian."

"."

Silence. Faced with Vivian's unwavering resolve, Liu Ma fell completely silent.

Because he simply couldn't understand what Vivian was arguing about.

A complete idiot who's been brainwashed by a knight.

Strangely enough, even when faced with such a simpleton, Liu Ma couldn't just abandon him and leave.

Even he himself couldn't explain the reason.

Just as Liu Ma was so enraged that he was about to knock Vivian unconscious and have Chen Kong carry her away from the Rust Iron District,

Suddenly, the ceiling above the three of them was sliced ​​open by a dark sword aura.

At the critical moment, Chen Kong suddenly pulled Vivian to his side, allowing her to narrowly avoid the falling cement blocks above her head.

Amidst a cloud of dust and smoke, Chen Kong and the others heard a gentle, unfamiliar voice.

“I admire your chivalry, Miss Vivian, but I also need to follow the association’s rules and regulations.”

"So, would you please come with me to the branch office?"

The Heavenly Dao landed steadily, and the captain's uniform of the Fifth Division fluttered slightly in the wind.

Looking at the smiling, seemingly harmless Heavenly Dao.

The expressions of Chen Kong and the other two became serious.

Although they considered staying in Rusty Iron Hell, they knew they would soon be found by the Star Envoys Association or the Church of the Gear.

But they didn't expect this day to come so soon.

What's more, the person who approached them was actually a squad leader from the Steam Branch.

In the midst of this tense atmosphere, a child's cry for help suddenly rang out.

"Lord Shuimo, come quickly and help Danica! Danica is about to fall!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw little Danica with half her body stuck in a crack in the ceiling, her short legs kicking frantically in the air, about to fall off the ceiling, she was extremely panicked.

Heavenly Dao: "."

Chen Kong and the others: "."

It was clearly a very tense atmosphere.

But because of Danica's little incident.

The atmosphere of the entire venue instantly became eerie and comical.

However, due to the original Heavenly Way, the 'all things have returned to seclusion' has always been maintained.

As a result, Chen Kong, Liu Ma, and Vivian, who were unconscious at the time, had never heard Danica's name.

So now, looking at Danica hanging from the ceiling, dressed in her Star Messenger uniform and with her hair dyed pink.

They did not connect her with the mysterious masked man from not long ago.

The only ones who know Danica's name are the dimensional viewers.

But this caused an uproar among the anime/manga fans!

Because they were all convinced that the mysterious masked man was the Heavenly Dao, and there was no other possibility.

But the man who was with Danica and also had a long sword at his waist was actually a plain-looking man with black hair, black eyes, and wearing old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses.

How could they possibly accept this!

Isn't it obvious that they're being played by the production team?

However, some viewers from other anime/manga fandoms quickly raised questions about it.

That was the mysterious masked man from back then, a being with azure blue eyes.

The current captain of the Fifth Division, Mizuki, has standard black eyes.

To conclude that the mysterious masked man is Shui Mo at this point would be too hasty.

But this alone won't convince those who have doubts.

Soon, the audience of the dimensional world began a heated discussion about a series of questions, such as "Is the mysterious masked man the Heavenly Dao?", "Is Shui Mo the mysterious masked man?", and "Could Shui Mo possibly be the Heavenly Dao?"

And for the time being, neither side can convince the other.

Because both sides can produce some decisive evidence.

This undoubtedly increased the attention that anime fans paid to the character 'Shuimo' to some extent.

Although this might be suspected of riding on the coattails of the popularity of "Heaven's Way".

But what was originally an ordinary 'ink painting' in the eyes of anime fans suddenly became quite controversial.

That's why Tiandao brought Danica along today.

When it comes to piggybacking on traffic, Tiandao is a professional as well.

Not to mention, it's like someone leeching off themselves.

Everyone thinks the Heavenly Dao is in the first layer, but in reality it is in the atmosphere!
