As Jingyang and his companions walked through the dense forest in the night, they could vaguely hear familiar shouts coming from all around them.
Men Qi said, "It's Da Gao and the others."
Jingyang laughed and said, "So you're just going to plagiarize it?"
“After all, your method works,” Xiao Di said.
Jingyang said, "You can only do it once. That little devil disappeared after he finished chanting. Even if you call him again, he might not reappear... It's the middle of the night, and the forest is pitch black. It will be quite difficult to find anything."
Menqi said, "Didn't you want to continue tonight?"
“Then what should we do?” Little Drop said, “None of us can ‘make a circle’.”
Jingyang thought for a moment, "We won't..."
He suddenly turned around and looked at Kakin and his group, who were still behind Blanchett's staff. "But someone knows how!"
……
""round"?"
Barbima Inna's expression remained unchanged. "How can you be so sure I know this kind of thing?"
"You seem like a pro," Jingyang said. "Weren't you surprisingly calm when I threatened Dago and the others with that psychic bullet? An ordinary person would react like Mr. Sloe did when they saw that kind of 'supernatural' scene. Give me a straight answer, whether you can 'make it work' or not. If not, then forget it."
Barbima Inner said, "I have no idea what you mean by 'ghosts'. Even if my 'Circle' covers such things, I can't be sure if there will be any reaction."
Menchi asked doubtfully, "Do you Kakin really not know the true situation on this island?"
Barbima Inna reminded the three people in front of her, "This place has been here for almost 25 years."
The implication is that this place that vanished into thin air and moved elsewhere, even if Kakin had known about it before, is a thing of the past.
Xiao Di said, "So, you're willing to help us."
Barbimaina didn't answer, but glanced at the two girls on either side before her gaze fell on Jing Yang.
Jingyang said, "The one I want to ask you to find isn't a ghost."
“If it’s not a ghost, then what is it?” Barbimainna asked.
Jingyang said, "The character '神' (shen, meaning god/god)."
"The Hunter Association is the most professional in the world when it comes to the study of Nen abilities," said Barbimainna.
Jingyang understood; he just didn't understand what the word "god" meant.
"The character '神' is a special character or symbol infused with the concept of '念' (niàn). I am not a professional in the association, so I don't know much about it."
Jingyang said, half-jokingly, "I've had the chance to see it a few times. Once, someone carved the character 'God' on a knot of rope, and once it touched Nen of a strength higher than 'Entanglement,' the rope would break on its own; another time, someone covered an ordinary wooden box with the character 'God,' and the box became indestructible; I also saw on an island, someone carved the character 'God' on the arena to assist Nen techniques..."
As Barbimainna listened, she nodded thoughtfully.
Men Qi secretly wondered to himself, "I didn't expect Jing Yang to have such a rich experience. Is he really 20 years old?"
Jingyang smiled and said, "The most recent time was over there."
He pointed towards the amusement park at the north end of East Town, then glanced at the Blanchett Corporation staff nearby, who were keeping a watchful eye on the tigers and wild beasts they might touch. "While Little Drop and I were playing at the Elf Amusement Park, we found the word 'God' somewhere."
Before he could continue, Barbimainna had already figured out the connection herself.
The founder of Blanchett Company was a professional hunter.
The word "God" is displayed inside his amusement park.
His company has been in charge of the island's protected area for four years, so if they really did something wrong, it's certainly possible they would have started with the word "god"...
Babymaine asked, "What exactly does the word 'God' look like?"
Menqi waved his hand, "Don't look at me, I've never seen it before either."
Xiao Di said, "I forgot."
Jing Yang said, "They're just some hard-to-understand symbols! Mr. Sloe said you arrived on this island with their Ochima side, and more than half a month has passed. Don't tell me you really don't have any direction for your investigation?"
Babymaine remained expressionless, while Jing Yang continued with a smile: "Where you believe something exists, that's probably where Blanchett & Co. will leave the word 'God'..."
--------
The night was as dark as ink, the moon was nearly full, and all around was quiet.
Jingyang and the others walked slowly through this core area, their footsteps shattering the frosty moonlight on the ground.
Ahead, amidst the sparse woods, the continuous grasslands, and the jagged rocks, clusters of shimmering, jade-like lights moved back and forth, or lay motionless. Upon hearing the approaching commotion of Jing Yang and the others, pairs of eerie, beastly eyes turned towards them in unison, like a swarm of fireflies suddenly illuminating the night, their markings and patterns reflecting the moonlight.
Babima Inna, who was leading the way, stared at the group of pale moon tigers.
The others picked up pistols and tranquilizer guns.
Menqi patted Jingyang on the shoulder and pointed to the other side, where Wu Er and another Miserable Moon Tiger were. That other Miserable Moon Tiger, following beside Wu Er, was the one Jingyang had rescued from the poachers that day.
Jingyang waved to Wu Er, signaling it not to approach for the time being.
Wu Er, unaware of what was going on, lingered nearby with another Miserable Moon Tiger at a distance.
“Found it.” Barbimainna suddenly spoke, and walked straight ahead.
The group of Moon Tigers that had been resting under the moonlight scattered away, like a scattered constellation of stars.
Chapter 36 Give me face
Barbimainna's "circle" wasn't particularly large, but it was also quite large, probably enough to cover a multi-room hotel apartment. Therefore, when he spread out his "circle" to find his way, he naturally included Jingyang and the others who were following him.
"Is this what it feels like to be observed by someone else's 'circle'? It doesn't seem like anything special."
As Jingyang was thinking, he had already followed Babimaina to the place—among those piles of rocks under the moonlight.
The few Blanchett employees following behind looked hesitant and whispered something into their earpieces.
Babimaina quickly stopped in front of a boulder, and with one hand pushed the several-ton boulder, slightly turning it over to reveal a side that was not easily noticed before.
“This is it.” Xiao Di’s glasses slid down her nose a bit.
The base of the stone was hidden by weeds. Men Qi parted the weeds and looked at these strange and bizarre scribbled characters. He turned back in confusion and asked, "Is this the 'god' character you were talking about?"
The densely packed symbols, like totems from an ancient era, inevitably evoke associations with words like sacrifice, ignorance, primitiveness, and mystery...
Xiao Di reached out to touch the character "神" (divine) on the stone, but Jing Yang grabbed her wrist. "Don't rush. We don't know what this character '神' is for yet."
He turned his head and asked again, "Is this the only place?"
"So far, we've only found—who is it?" Barbimainna said. Suddenly, his eyes sharpened, and he looked away.
Waaaaah, waaaah...
A cold wind suddenly arose.
Several Kakin soldiers immediately drew their pistols and pointed them at them.
Nothing.
Jingyang, Menqi, and Xiaodi immediately focused their energy into their eyes.
Sure enough, the "ghost" of a boy, pale as a ghost, appeared eerily like a will-o'-the-wisp.
The staff at Blanchett's company were completely baffled, unable to understand why they were making such a fuss.
Jingyang and the other two focused their energy on their ears again, and soon heard chilling words coming from the pale ghost: "Grey Flesh... must die... Grey Flesh... must die..."
As these curse-like sounds rang out, more and more jade-like bright spots appeared in the surrounding woods, the previously dispersed pack of Moon Tigers.
The tiger's eyes were secretly watching these humans.
"Grey Guo meat... must die..."
The pale ghost chanted repeatedly, making the atmosphere increasingly eerie.
Barbima Inna noticed Jing Yang and the others' handling of the situation, and a thought struck him. He focused his energy on his ears, and soon his usually calm face showed a slight change in expression.
Menqi's forehead was beaded with sweat. Xiaodi, on the other hand, seemed oblivious, merely gazing curiously at the pale, ghostly figure, which did seem somewhat similar to her acknowledged boss. If Jingyang knew what she was thinking, he would definitely give her a flick on the forehead. How could it resemble him at all?
Babima gave a look, and his men understood. They immediately slipped away, and several muffled thuds were heard behind them.
Jingyang and the others turned around and saw that the Kakin soldiers had raised the butts of their pistols, knocked out several Blanchett Company employees, and then helped them to the ground.
“Your Highness Nasti?” Babimaina stared at the pale ghost.
“Grey Guo Flesh…must die…” The ghost did not answer; its eyes were also deathly pale, and its expression was unreadable.
Barbima Inner frowned, then tentatively asked, "The Little Prince?"
Menqi couldn't help but grumble to himself, "What's going on? Why is it that when this guy Kajin sees a ghost, the name he tries to ask is either 'Your Highness' or 'Prince'?"
Is the mortality rate of princes in your Kakin region really that high?
"Grey Guo meat... must die..."
The pale, ghostly voice grew increasingly hollow, and even the moonlight above everyone's heads seemed to become even more chilling, sending shivers down their spines.
"Hey, hey, hey, isn't this..."
Just then, Dago and his group arrived from nearby and immediately spotted the pale ghost confronting Babimaina, Jingyang, and the others. At the same time, they were startled by the dense, fiery glow around them. "How did so many Moon Tigers gather here?"
"Have you discovered anything?"
As Dago and his group approached, they saw several Blanchett staff members lying unconscious on the ground. They froze, exchanged bewildered glances, and then looked at Jingyang and the others.
“Look, if we don’t count this little thing, this is what we found.” Jing Yang glanced at the pale ghost and pointed to the densely packed divine characters on the boulder. “If you inject your spiritual energy into it, something might happen. — I can’t guarantee it will be a good thing, nor can I guarantee it will be safe.”
Da Gao and the others hesitated for a moment, "What do you guys think?"
Jingyang looked to the side, "What do you two ladies think?"
Little Drop said, "I'll listen to you."
Menqi shrugged. "Stop pretending, just say it."
Jing Yang laughed, "Getting paid to do things, that's what you call professional."
"Your Majesty the True Martial King?" Babimaina tentatively asked again, asking for a name, or rather, a title.
"Don't try it, buddy. He said Gray Guo Rou must die, but you're not Gray Guo Rou, so why are you so nervous?" Jing Yang pouted. "See, he didn't do anything to you, did he? Let's look this way, we're about to touch this 'god' character, what if something goes wrong—"
Jingyang, Menqi, Xiaodi, Dagao, and the others tried to infuse their energy into the densely packed divine characters on the surface of the boulder. Unexpectedly, as soon as they infused their energy, they transformed into clusters of white light, crashed into the boulder, and disappeared into the divine characters.
