When they got back, they found that the old man was gone.

Shinji didn't care. Whether the other party didn't trust him and ran away, or what, it was none of his business.

After a while, screams of alarm echoed through the village!

It was clear that those unlucky souls who were lured in by the aroma and then knocked unconscious by Shinji had all woken up.

I was sleeping soundly, but when I woke up I found myself not only outside, but also with a terrible headache. Plus, there was a completely blackened scene in front of me. I was lucky I didn't get sick from the fright.

As for the 'lost' livestock, they are even more nowhere to be found, and most likely they can only accept their bad luck!

And so, in the middle of the night, the village suddenly became lively because of a mass sleepwalking incident.

[Chapter 17. The Land of Waves]

The night passed in this noisy commotion, and the sun rose as usual.

Because no one was hurt in the end, and the scene that everyone saw when they woke up was too frightening, even though many livestock were missing, few people were willing to investigate further.

It's better to accept your bad luck than to lose your life!

After Shinji and Hidan got up, they prepared to leave and continue their journey.

Unexpectedly, the old man who hadn't been seen overnight returned.

And he was also carrying a simple lunchbox.

"Wow! Whose eggs have come to life?!"

Although Hidan's external injuries had mostly healed after a night's rest, his burned eyebrows and hair were not growing back quickly.

So when the old man opened the door, what he saw was Hidan's round and smooth head. At first glance, it looked just like a peeled egg that had come to life!

"Old man, you actually dare to come back?"

Their eyes met, and Hidan's tone immediately turned unfriendly; he hadn't forgotten what happened yesterday.

Now, with both old and new grudges combined, this matter is definitely not going to end well!

As for Shinji...

He has received professional training and will not laugh no matter how funny something is.

Unless you can't help it!

"Hahahaha... Egg spirit!" Shinji laughed until his stomach hurt.

In fact, he had wanted to laugh long ago when he saw Hidan's current appearance.

He only held back because he was mindful of Hidan's murderous gaze and also because he felt partly responsible for the situation.

Now that he's broken free of his inhibitions, he's laughing so hard he's doubled over, completely unrestrained...

Hidan's face turned pale and then red as he listened to the extremely grating laughter. His eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he wished he could devour those two bastards alive on the spot!

Seeing the situation was turning sour, the old man quickly gave an awkward smile, picked up his lunchbox, and changed the subject, saying:

"You're all up? You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Come and try this, Ayako worked hard to make it."

Hidan was thinking, "Who wants to eat this kind of pig swill!"

As soon as the old man opened the lunchbox lid, his eyes widened and his stomach growled loudly.

The lunchbox was neatly filled with a layer of his favorite fried pork cutlets!

Its golden color was enticing, and its aroma was irresistible. He didn't even realize that he had swallowed his saliva several times.

"Don't think you can get away with just bringing some food!"

Hidan snatched the food box without any hesitation, and continued to verbally attack him.

Then he couldn't wait to get started.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~ It's hot..."

With a satisfying crunch, the golden-brown, crispy pork cutlet, paired with a savory and delicious sauce, brought a look of pure joy to Hidan's face.

good to eat!

Hidan's mouth has been practically bland these past few days.

In addition, the old man and his daughter-in-law's cooking skills were really good, so much so that Hidan couldn't stop his hands from moving, stuffing one piece after another into his mouth.

"Is it really that delicious? Let me try some."

Seeing Hidan enjoying his food so much, Shinji also felt a little envious.

What he didn't expect was that Hidan, that bastard, would actually be possessive of his food?!

"dream!"

Hidan, who was possessive of his food, had no intention of sharing it with anyone. He blocked Shinji's outstretched hand and then ran away.

Shinji immediately put his hands on his hips, and laughed out of anger.

"You bastard, I'll take your kidneys out and cook them in a minute!"

After cursing, Shinji turned his gaze back to the old man, somewhat curious, "Since you've already left, why did you come back? Don't tell me you don't know what happened last night."

"It's just a few animals that were lost. As long as everyone is safe, that's all that matters," the old man said dismissively.

Shinji knew the other party was saying that on purpose, just to avoid any further complications.

Then he saw the old man muttering to himself, smiling with narrowed eyes, "I don't know what went wrong with those beasts last night, they all broke through the guardrails and tried to run away."

"And guess what? That huge old sow ran into a tree and passed out."

The old man's mouth was splitting open with a big smile.

Shinji was speechless. So the old man hadn't come home all night yesterday because he was out taking advantage of a freebie.

He somehow managed to avoid such a dangerous situation and even got a free sow. His luck is unbelievable.

And judging from the old man's smug look, he probably had no intention of returning it to the pig's owner.

After all, so many livestock were 'lost' last night, one more won't make a difference.

"It's time to go, Hidan!"

Shinji shouted outside, and then Hidan walked over wiping his mouth and threw the empty lunchbox back to the old man.

"Consider yourself lucky. The evil god doesn't need sacrifices as old as you these days."

"But next time might be different. I'm leaving now."

Hidan held his head high, looking arrogant.

The old man wasn't angry; what he was thinking about was Hidan's clamor for fried pork cutlet yesterday.

Clearly, this is no coincidence.

Even ordinary people have their own way of surviving.

. . . . . . . . . .

A few days later, Shinji and Hidan crossed the Land of Fire and then took a small boat from the port to the Land of Waves.

After some casual conversation, Shinji learned some basic information about the current situation of the Land of Waves from the boatman.

This includes the familiar villainous extra, Kado.

However, at this stage, the Land of Waves was not dominated by Gato alone, who monopolized the entire shipping business.

Mira Pen was originally the richest and most powerful family in the Land of Waves.

However, with the rise of Gato and his frequent hiring of assassins and wandering ninjas to engage in vicious business competition, the Mira Pen family, which had been peaceful for too long, was suddenly caught off guard!

Fortunately, even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse. After realizing that it was Kado who was causing trouble behind the scenes and breaking the rules, the Mira Pen family launched a series of fierce counterattacks.

Especially after an accident that led her to the cult of evil, Mira Penn has always regarded this evil organization as a trump card and has never used it lightly.

But this time, Mira Poon is not going to tolerate it anymore!

Just over twenty days ago, his beloved youngest daughter died in a terrorist attack targeting him!

Although he managed to escape safely thanks to the bodyguards' desperate protection, his lovely daughter, who was still in the prime of her life, was gone forever.

Driven by this terrible rage, Mira Poon was prepared to do anything to make Kado pay with his life.

This includes using the power of an evil cult to carry out revenge!

Therefore, even if he knew that this was like asking a tiger for its skin and raising a tiger to cause trouble, he would not hesitate!

On that very day, an inconspicuous little boat docked at the pier of the Land of Waves.

Two undead men from the evil cult finally set foot on this land destined to be stained with blood.

[Chapter 18. Human Suffering, Evil Gods Endure]

"This is the Land of Waves? I hate the damp air and this lingering, disgusting smell!"

As soon as he stepped off the ship, Hidan, who was cosplaying as a character from One-Punch Man, couldn't help but show a look of disgust.

As a small island nation that relies on the sea for its livelihood, it is obvious that the fishing industry in the Land of Waves is very developed, so there is inevitably an unpleasant smell of dead fish wafting around the docks.

This is something the villagers, who have long made a living at sea, are probably used to and nothing to them.

However, this is not so friendly to people like Shinji and Hidan, who live on land all year round and rarely see the sea.

So Shinji also slightly covered his mouth and nose, and said helplessly, "Let's do the mission first, get it over with as soon as possible, and go back sooner."

This time, Hidan didn't refute him. He just met everyone who dared to look at him with a malicious gaze. The bloodlust that had been suppressed all the way was burning his already limited rationality.

If he weren't afraid of messing up the mission, he probably would have already gone on a killing spree!

"Just bear with it a little longer, go find the contact person first, and then you can act recklessly."

After searching for a while, they finally found a pattern on a pillar in front of a house. It was a circle with a triangle engraved inside.

Undoubtedly, this is the hallmark of an evil cult!

In the remote maritime nation of the Land of Waves, very few people know about the Evil God Cult. If nothing unexpected happens, this place should be a contact point.

Of course, even if this is a trap set for the visitors, they are not afraid.
