Chapter 223
Nahida and Ying also stood up and nodded to Li Yue.
Li Yue raised her hand, drew the Enma's Blade, and slashed three times at the air, creating Portal leading to Sumeru Fontaine and Inazuma.
"I will open the gate again on Mt. Tianheng tomorrow morning. You can come directly there. We will set off from Mt. Tianheng and go directly to that world."
"Wait, where's mine?"
Venti pointed to the Portal, then to herself.
Li Yue raised an eyebrow.
"You're not the Anemo Archon, what do you have to say?"
"Now that you mention it... you're right!"
Venti scratched the back of her head and nodded affirmatively.
"Then I'll wait here. It's been a while since I've been back."
As Venti spoke, he plopped down on the floor. He had been back in Mondstadt for a while and had finally managed to calm Dvalin down. He had spent all his time with Dvalin and hadn't been able to participate in many things.
"As for you."
Li Yue looked at the Seven Arbiter-Generals and the Qixing.
"That world has a lot of important weapon technology, which is very important to Teyvat. Those weapons are also very useful to Teyvat. Most importantly, we will have to rely on those weapons when we move around in that world in the future, because there is no Elemental Power in that world. So ordinary people need new power, and those weapons are the new power that belongs to mankind."
"Yes!"
The Qixing and the Seven Arbiter-Generals immediately nodded, especially Cloud Retainer.
"Leave mechanical arts to me. No matter what it is, I can easily research and create a more powerful version."
"Then I'll leave it to you Cloud Retainer."
Li Yue nodded, confirming Cloud Retainer's statement.
Nahida returned to Sumeru and urgently summoned Alhaitham, while Shadow returned to Inazuma and urgently summoned Kuki Shinobu and Sara. As for Furina, she also returned to Fontaine and immediately called over Neuvillette, who was still working late into the night next door, to tell him that she would be leaving for a while.
Just as the Fatui of Fontaine were setting out to test Furina suddenly disappeared from Teyvat, leaving them completely baffled.
After the meeting ended, Li Yue opened the Chat Group.
[Meme Lord: Okay, everything's ready. I'll take everyone there first thing tomorrow morning.]
[The Perverted Scum Man: So fast!? How much time has passed?]
So Arrogant: are you already preparing to conquer a world?
[Meme Lord: That's right, this time I plan to bring a few gods from my world with me first, and have a grand descent of the gods!]
400. The Gods Descend to Otherworld
Tokyo, to be precise, is the Tokyo area that was established after the First Kanto War.
Initiator Chizuru Kayo and her facilitator Isuke Kagetane at the entrance of the government building, awaiting their summons. They had been waiting there for ten minutes, along with their boss and secretary. Of course, also waiting there were other Initiator and Facilitator pairs, as well as the bosses of their respective companies.
"Mr. Shōgen, do you believe in God?"
Suddenly, Chizuru Kayo, who was looking up at the sky, asked Isuke Kagetane a question. Isuke Kagetane, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and was stunned when he heard Chizuru Kayo's sudden question. He was stunned for a while before he asked in confusion.
What did you just say?
"Mr. Shōgen, do you believe in God?"
"Have you finally lost your mind, you prop?"
Instead of answering, Isuke Kagetane made a sarcastic remark that, if heard by someone unaware of the truth and given the context of this world, would definitely make them think he was inhuman.
"No, Mr. Shōgen, I was just curious."
Chizuru Kayo shook his head, which boasted an IQ of 210, and denied it.
"Hmph, you still say you're not out of your mind? You're already having these kinds of ridiculous thoughts. You really are just a prop!"
Isuke Kagetane continued saying things that sounded ordinary to the other promoters, but were shocking to normal people. This tone, which didn't treat Chizuru Kayo as a human being, was truly infuriating.
"That's true, a normal person wouldn't have such thoughts."
He talks about props all the time. This Isuke Kagetane doesn't seem like a good person. In the many Black Bullet multiverses, many of the previous transmigrators, once they arrived in this world, would first show off to this Isuke Kagetane, because in the early stages he looked too much like the kind of trash villain who appeared on purpose to let the protagonist show off.
Oh no, it's not even a villain!
With his muscular physique, tall stature, and infuriating remarks coupled with his ferocious expression, he gives off the vibe of a minor character destined to be used by the main character to show off.
In fact, he was indeed used by the protagonist to show off. The first thing he did upon meeting the protagonist of this world was to mock him as a child, and then, as if on purpose, he went to cause trouble for the protagonist, and almost got slapped in the face.
Although he wasn't humiliated, he was quickly killed by the first villain. His appearance and transformation didn't even last a full minute, making him a truly insignificant extra.
In reality, although he constantly talks about props and seems to look down on Chizuru Kayo, he actually values Chizuru Kayo very much, and Chizuru Kayo also likes Isuke Kagetane. However, his personality leans towards that kind of stubborn tsundere, which leads to a huge gap between his actual actions and his words.
But there was nothing he could do; he was just too ugly to be a background character, so he died very young.
After being Isuke Kagetane, Chizuru Kayo didn't say anything more. The two of them fell silent and stood together to continue waiting.
After waiting for about half an hour, the doors of the government building opened, allowing everyone waiting outside to go inside.
Everyone followed them into the government building, then took the elevator to the top floor conference room. Once inside, they sat down according to the nameplates placed on the conference table. Of course, those who sat down were the bosses who had come in; people like Isuke Kagetane and Chizuru Kayo could only stand behind the bosses.
Then, they began the second round of waiting, waiting for the meeting to begin.
Chizuru Kayo was bored standing by the wall, so she turned her attention to the Chat Group she had acquired yesterday. The Chat Group had been lively since morning, with everyone chatting and talking.
[Perverted Scum Man: Are you guys leaving soon?]
[Silly Guy: That's right, I've summoned the wind god, thunder god, grass god, water god, and rock god of this world, and we're ready to set off.]
[Fat Woman in Black Stockings: Wait, aren't you the Geo God?]
[Meme Lord: Of course I'm the Geo God, but I won't leave Zhongli out either. Let him feel the impact of humanity!]
[The Fat Woman in Black Stockings: You brought him along on purpose, didn't you?]
[Meme Lord: That's right, the Three Great Generals of Liyue. Since the other two went, he naturally has to go too.]
[I am hungry: So, are you guys coming over here soon?]
So Arrogant! Yes, they're already preparing to open the portal to your world and then directly conquer it.
[I am hungry: That's some good news.]
[This Perverted Scum Man: I can't sense any joy in your words...]
[I am hungry: No, actually, after reading everyone's comments last night, and knowing that you all came to my world to help me, I'm still very happy.]
[The Fat Woman in Black Stockings: But you don't seem happy at all.]
[I am hungry: Maybe it's because I am hungry?]
[Meme Lord: Are you hungry again?]
[I am hungry: This morning the company received a request, and as usual, Mr. Shōgen hurriedly pulled me out before I even finished breakfast. We waited for half an hour downstairs at the government building, and now we're waiting in the conference room inside the government building. I didn't eat enough this morning, and now I'm very hungry.]
[Meme Lord: Look how hungry this kid is! Here, have some food. Eat first, I'll be right there.]
Li Yue was preparing to go to Mt. Tianheng from Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. Before setting off, Li Yue ran to the kitchen of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, scooped out a bowl of noodles, and then sent it to Chizuru Kayo in the Chat Group.
Chizuru Kayo looked at what Li Yue had sent and, just like when she received ramen from Li Yue the night before, clicked "receive." Then, a bowl of meat noodles appeared in her hand.
The aroma of the noodles quickly spread throughout the conference room. The bosses, who were waiting for the meeting to begin, suddenly smelled the fragrance and instinctively sniffed the air to make sure they weren't mistaken.
"What's that smell? It smells so good!"
Someone couldn't help but ask, and then everyone started looking around, searching for the source of the fragrance. They quickly pinpointed the source: Chizuru Kayo, who was holding a bowl of noodles in both hands.
"You..."
Isuke Kagetane looked at Chizuru Kayo, who was holding a bowl of noodles, and was completely stunned before asking a question.
"Is this ramen?"
"It should be ramen."
Chizuru Kayo's uncertain answer made Isuke Kagetane pause for a moment before he realized what was happening.
"No, that's not the point. Where did you get the noodles?"
"It was given by the gods."
"Ha?"
A string of question marks appeared above Isuke Kagetane's head, and everyone else present also looked at the two of them with question marks in their eyes.
"What are you doing? Do you even know where you are?"
Someone realized what was happening and started to reprimand them: This is a conference room inside a government building, not a place to eat noodles! And what about this divine gift? Are you kidding me?
Just as someone was about to speak up and reprimand again.
Suddenly, the air in the conference room cracked open, and a blue fissure slowly expanded, transforming into a blue Portal.
[Meme Lord: Xia Shi, we're here.]
The gods from the Teyvat continent have descended.
401. The story begins.
The air seemed to crack open, and the scene shocked everyone in the conference room. After all, they had never seen anything like it before!
"What... what is this!?"
Some bosses were so nervous that they stood up from their chairs.
"Careful!"
Everyone present was a mercenary, so they were all armed. They drew their guns from their waists or their melee weapons.
These promoters also have another name: police officers, or civilian security personnel. Their main job is to accept various commissions, some of which are simple and involve activities within the city, while others are more difficult and require them to go out of the city to kill monsters, those monsters known as Gastrea.
Because these Gastrea carry a large number of Gastrea Virus, they have extremely strong regenerative abilities and cannot be killed by traditional weapons. Therefore, the weapons these people use are all made of special Prometheus Metal. This holmium element can effectively suppress the regenerative ability of Gastrea Virus, so everyone basically has black-looking weapons or guns.
Everyone stared nervously at the blue Portal in the air. They didn't know what it was, only that it had appeared out of nowhere, and their instincts told them that this unknown thing was full of danger.
But only Chizuru Kayo knew that this was the passage through which the Group Leader of that Otherworld Chat Group was about to bring a god from Otherworld to this world!
[Meme Lord: The Portal has opened. Xia Shi, can you see Portal around you? It looks like an irregular blue tear in the air.]
The irregular blue tear—isn't that what's right in front of us? It's less than 5 meters away from Chizuru Kayo.
[I am hungry: Hmm, I can see it, it's just a few meters in front of me.]
[Meme Lord: As expected, it's easier to teleport indoors if you're indoors.]
As Li Yue spoke in the Chat Group, she stepped directly into the Portal in front of her, arriving in the world of Black Bullet from Mt. Tianheng in Liyue.
From the perspective of everyone in the conference room, a person suddenly emerged from the blue Portal. This person was wearing clothes with a retro feel and looked very young.
"You..."
Someone tried to ask a question, but before they could utter a single word, people began to emerge from behind the Portal.
Zhongli, dressed in a style similar to Li Yue's, Nahida, a little girl who looks like she's not very old, Raiden Ei, who looks popular in a Japanese kimono, Venti with a playful smile, and Furina is happily chatting with Venti in Chat Group.
A group of six people emerged from the Portal and stood together in the conference hall. Then, the blue Portal behind them disappeared under Li Yue's control.
"Who... who are you?"
Those present were stunned by the way Li Yue and her group appeared. Although they were holding guns, they were surprisingly afraid to fire. Instead, they cautiously questioned Li Yue.
Li Yue did not answer, but instead looked around at the scene.
It was a standard medium-sized conference room, and there I also saw Chizuru Kayo and Isuke Kagetane, and so many people gathered here.
Got it, this is the scene where the commission is accepted at the beginning of the story. In other words, a fight will break out here later, and the masked man, Kageyasu Zaibatsu, will show off a lot here before leaving in style!
However, it seems that the other party has not yet entered, and Li Yue has not seen the protagonist of this world Rentaro Satomi.
"Li Yue, our current position seems a bit awkward."
Venti had been to the modern world several times with Li Yue, recognized the pistols in everyone's hands. Although he was being held at gunpoint, he didn't think they could hurt him. However, as he said, their location was indeed not ideal.
Previously, when I traveled through different worlds, I always opened doors in deserted alleys or places far from people. This time, I opened a door right into someone's home, and it's the first time I've been seen by so many people at once.
"From a generally rational point of view, the location of the door was indeed not ideal this time, but it doesn't matter."
Li Yue raised her right hand, and a green light shone from her palm.
Everyone present gripped their weapons tightly and stared at Li Yue.
