Behind Closed Doors

"The Weird Tale of the Hundred Tales are endless..."

At Baihe Hua's house, the Gu Poison Body, which housed a portion of Feng Xue's consciousness, observed the Weird Tale on the ceiling and sighed slightly. He had originally thought that after the Tengu Council's defeat, the surveillance at Baihe Hua's house would stop, but he didn't expect that the other party would rather keep him occupied than let him go back.

Of course, Feng Xue also had the option of using the Descent Rule to leave the Eastern Kingdom when the opponent stopped the seal, and then returning to the Infinite City through another gate. But even so, Hundred Tales chose to do so. The real purpose was nothing more than to delay Feng Xue's development time.

Ultimately, compared to the countless worlds linked by the Tower of Babel, the present world is not quite suitable for the development of Weird Tale, and the villas in the Tower of Babel below the tenth floor can only maintain "one" door for each room.

In other words, if this door cannot be completely closed, no new door can be opened.

However, as the one who opens the door, he must complete one entry and exit before the door can be considered to have fulfilled its mission.

In other words, if Feng Xue chooses to go back through another door, this door will not be able to close, preventing Feng Xue from opening a new door inside the Tower of Babel and ultimately forcing her to remain in the real world.

It was late January, less than six months before the Midsummer Night Festival. In other words, in just six months, Hundred Tales could replenish the Tengu Council's manpower through the ritual, and at the same time, create a large number of Weird Tale with the ability to counter Kamen Rider.

Only now did Feng Xue finally understand why the Hundred Tales monopolized so many resources in the Infinite City and the real world. Compared to any first-mover advantage or regional advantage, this ability to "construct Weird Tale with specific directions" was probably the key.

The world of Weird Tale emphasizes having a special attack god and fighting against the Hundred Tales, which can create Weird Tale in a targeted manner. If you can't defeat it within a year, then the next year you will have to face Weird Tale that can restrain you from all angles.

Even if the Supernatural Tale Itself created in this way are not very powerful, they can still be given to veteran Companion Phantom Weird Tale use. The mass-produced WarGreymon has average Combat Power, but what about lending Dinosaur Slayer to Omegamon?

However, nothing is perfect, and this seemingly open strategy is not without its flaws.

For example, climbing a tower.

Yes, once you break through the tenth floor, you can open the second door. In that case, the Hundred Tales's blockade will become a joke. Next, you just need to find a new battle-type Weird Tale in another world and come back to deal with the Hundred Tales.

Of course, Hundred Tales probably did consider these factors, but ultimately, climbing the tower is very risky. If you break through the eleventh floor, you will lose the right to challenge rooms below the tenth floor. If you cannot defeat the Weird Tale above the tenth floor and lose your original house, your strength will stop growing. If you cannot obtain a door to the real world, then you may face the same risk as Old Li, whose strength will continue to decline.

As for the possibility that Feng Xue will return to the Infinite City and never come out again, that's not a problem. In fact, it's the best solution for Hundred Tales. For an organization like Hundred Tales that refreshes its ranks every year, what's scary is an opponent who can grow rapidly. If Feng Xue is trapped in the Infinite City, it would be good if her strength didn't decline, and it would be difficult for her to make any further progress.

By then, they could frequently send people to challenge Feng Xue's room, both to shrink his living space and to scout whether he was in the house. Once they found that he was not in the Tower of Babel, Hundred Tales could use his abilities to lure him into an ambush.

Having figured all this out, Feng Xue suddenly realized the troublesome nature of organizations like Hundred Tales.

But the Hundred Tales overlooked one problem—

Feng Xue is not unable to make progress without spreading Weird Tale.

The Infinite City isn't without its own Weird Tale Manufacturing Type, but these Weird Tale mostly only create one type of Phantom Object, and they lack any distinctive features. Even the Fine Grade artifacts are rare. But Feng Xue is different. His Golden Finger creates all sorts of things. If he's really desperate, he can just retreat into Garbage Mountain and come out again in eight or ten years.

Of course, that's only a last resort. After all, Supernatural Tale Itself world of ghost stories is all about keeping things interesting. If he doesn't keep up with the public eye, and if the authorities can't contact him for a long time, who knows if his influence will gradually fade? In this information age, in three to five years, who will even know who Mo Ju is?

Having figured out the key point, Feng Xue made up her mind.

Since this ten-story building is destined to be blocked by that door in the mortal realm, let's just pretend it doesn't exist!

Hesitation only leads to more trouble. Feng Xue was never one to hesitate. Once he made up his mind, he stopped wavering. He continued the Eastern Kingdom Grand Cycling, distributing Kamen Rider Transformation Belt everywhere to increase the number of Kamen Rider on the market and thus hinder the Hundred Tales. At the same time, he kept refreshing the Descent Rule, waiting for the moment when Hundred Tales would release its lock...

"Did it only last three days this time? Was it because the strain was too great, or did they think I wouldn't be able to break through the gate again anytime soon?"

Feeling the loosening of Real World Rules, Feng Xue immediately stopped his motorcycle. Although he was actually wearing two suits of armor, he was still dressed as a "Hermit" with a camera hanging on his back and Guitar Case on his shoulder.

However, when it came to choosing Real World Rules, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, because he found that he couldn't find any suitable rules.

Because the rules of [Kung Fu Dream], which were originally most suitable to be implemented and were as numerous as stars in the sky, are now completely empty. The few that have appeared are all in some obscure corner that no one has ever heard of—and they're even overseas.

Left with no other option, he simply took out his phone and dialed a number...

"Although external martial arts are now quite common, there are still differences in their levels. Therefore, we cannot start with the idea that our target will not get hurt; we must regard our opponent as fragile..."

"Laughter in the martial world~~ Grudges settled~~ People exchange blows~~ Laughter..."

The teacher was explaining hostage rescue plans for the new era when the bell suddenly rang, filling the entire classroom.

In an instant, not only the stern teachers, but almost everyone in the large classroom turned their gaze toward the source of the bell, their eyes filled with admiration.

To actually dare to turn on your phone during a professional class, who is this... well, a real big shot!

Chen Xiyao awkwardly held her phone, but didn't hang up immediately. She had changed her phone number a long time ago, and now there was only one person who would still call that number.

"Teacher!"

Chen Xiyao gave a wink, and the professor, known for his stern face even in military academies, surprisingly showed a kind expression and said:

"It's Xiao Chen on the phone! Don't just stand there like an idiot, go answer it!"

"Oh, I understand!" Amidst the astonished gazes of her classmates, Chen Xiyao used her light-footed skill to leap across seven or eight rows of seats, landing gracefully at the doorway. With a click, the classroom door closed, and the professor's previously gentle expression immediately turned serious. After coughing twice, he continued:

"Okay, let's continue..."

Those who say it's ten times better than the original... you have to consider the body proportions!

How tall is Dudley? His tongue can swell to four feet long (one foot is the length right after he swallows it; in the original story, Mr. Weasley says when he returns to the Burrow that Dudley's parents only allowed him to shorten his tongue when it swelled to four feet, and it seems it can continue to swell), which is more than half his height.

The Giant Tengu is over forty meters tall, so its tongue could easily expand to several tens of meters, right?

P. S.: I've had an upset stomach lately and am feeling a bit weak, so my argumentative power is low. That's all.
