I Just Thought of Something Funny

After the last joint attack, the Void Cicada organization was almost wiped out, but unexpectedly, something like this happened in Kyoto again some time later.

The Hero Faction started causing trouble uninvited, and now all they need to do is contact the Hero Faction, pop some champagne to celebrate, and quietly wait for the situation to spiral out of control.

The mastermind behind the undercurrents, Ren, received news that the mission was complete after delivering Yasaka to the designated location.

Chapter 213 I thought of something happy

Chapter 213

[Mission: Kidnap Yasaka, the Supreme Commander of the Yokai World Realm]

[Objective: Kidnap Yasaka and hand him over to Cao Cao or Georg.]

[Rewards settled]

[Hero Faction Reputation +30, Rule Breaker.]

[Rule Breaker: Can dispel any object enhanced by magic, any contract, or any life form born from magic.]

[Note: Remove "everything".]

To put it simply, this thing is a special item designed to counter magic, originating from Caster's ultimate Noble Phantasm in the Type-Moon universe. Although its performance as a weapon is basically nonexistent, it has a very good effect in specific uses.

For example, it can be used to break some curses or seals.

Looking at the sleeping Yasaka in front of him, Ren figured he would use her for an experiment later.

Not long after.

Georg and Cao Cao's group appeared at the rendezvous point through the Absolute Mist.

Upon seeing Yasaka standing motionless in place, Cao Cao smiled slightly.

However, he didn't immediately pay attention to Yasaka's situation. Instead, he walked up to Ren, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Well done. As a great demon who has cultivated for a thousand years, the Nine-Tails is comparable to the Dragon King of the Dragon Clan in terms of strength. I didn't expect you to be able to capture her in such a short time."

"With your abilities, you will surely shine in the future world."

"Generally."

Ren said modestly.

Cao Cao's admiration was undisguised.

The hand resting on his shoulder also felt particularly heavy.

Adding to this statement, any other young man would surely be filled with fervor and would want to confide in Cao Cao wholeheartedly.

Cao Cao was not surprised by Ren's indifferent reaction.

After all, it's normal for a strong person like him to have some unique personality traits.

Just then...

Suddenly, lightning flashed and thunder roared across the sky where dark clouds had gathered, and soon after, icy rain poured down.

Kyoto was shrouded in rain at night, and the whole city was enveloped in silence.

It's raining.

Cao Cao muttered to himself, then continued.

"Let's take this time to adjust the barrier; the rain will also provide us with some cover."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jeanne of Arc couldn't help but ask, "Cao Cao, what were you doing outside just now?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao chuckled and said, "Nothing special. I just went to visit the Five Great Houses for a while, to test their abilities and to inform them of what we're planning to do."

"If I'm not mistaken, they've already sent people to search the entire city for us."

Seeing Cao Cao speak so casually, some people were puzzled.

But Cao Cao patiently explained to them, "As heroes, we naturally need to face difficulties head-on. If we just come here, grab someone, and leave, it won't do us any good for our growth, because this world belongs to us humans."

Upon hearing this, everyone else nodded silently.

After all, they all knew that their own power was still far inferior to that of the Asuras and Buddhas.

That's why they need more intense training and combat.

In order to repay Cao Cao's painstaking efforts, they were determined to grow up as soon as possible.

Seeing this, Ren grinned.

Cao Cao truly lived up to his reputation as a CPU master; everyone else was like greenhorns in front of him, completely fooled.

Even the act of using Ophis's power to forcibly catalyze Sacred Gear can be automatically whitewashed for Cao Cao.

"But I remember that the Five Great Houses are all human, so why should we provoke them?"

Ren's sudden remark silenced Cao Cao.

After a long silence, he finally spoke, "Although the Five Great Houses are human forces, they persecute other members of their own race. We are going there tonight to meet the Four Fiends currently residing there, as well as the Longinus 'Dog God.' If conditions permit, I hope they can join us."

Unfortunately, we didn't see them there.

"But I should be able to see those people by tomorrow night."

At this point, Cao Cao looked at Ren again and continued to explain.

"I know you must have a lot of questions right now, and since we still have time, I'll explain them all at once."

"The reason the sponsors had us kidnap the Nine-Tails is to perform the Great Red Summoning Ritual."

Upon hearing this name, everyone except a few who knew the truth, including Ren, showed astonishment.

Of course, Ren was faking it.

Cao Cao was a shrewd man; he would notice even the slightest abnormality.

Even Jeanne, who was learning about this for the first time, gaped slightly and said, "You actually want to summon the Great Red? Cao Cao, what are you thinking?"

Her tone was reproachful and puzzled.

The name of the Great Red is renowned throughout the world.

The other party was born in a mysterious dimensional rift, where it swims year-round and never interferes with anything in the real world.

Even so, the power of the Great Red is still recognized as the strongest in the world.

As for why I know...

This is thanks to the constant promotion of Infinite Dragon God.

Since no one could defeat the Ophis, and Ophis was expelled from the dimensional rift by the Great Red, naturally in other people's minds, the Infinite Dragon God was greater than Ophis.

However, the reason people are not afraid of the Great Red is because the Great Red has never descended into the real world.

Of course, even if it really does descend, no one else will be able to deal with it.

Therefore, everyone was naturally astonished when they heard from Cao Cao that they were going to summon the Great Red.

Cao Cao continued, "The city of Kyoto itself is a large-scale magical device built under the influence of a powerful dragon vein. Its famous historical sites and scenic spots are full of spiritual, demonic, and magical energies."

"Because the Onmyoji who built this city in ancient times aimed to transform Kyoto into a powerful force, which is why Kyoto attracts all sorts of beings."

"The reason for kidnapping the Nine-Tails is because of her inseparable connection with Kyoto. Now that she is sealed away, the air currents in Kyoto have become disordered, and it has naturally started to rain."

"According to the original plan, summoning the Great Red would require the power of several Dragon Kings to have a higher chance of success. However, Dragon Kings are extremely rare and powerful, making it difficult even for powerful gods and Buddhas to achieve. Therefore, I took a different approach and used the power of Kyoto and the Nine-Tails instead."

"So what happens after summoning the Great Red?" Jeanne continued to ask.

"Are you planning to kill it?"

"No, we can't do that with our current strength, but we can try to catch it first, and we can think about other things later."

"I believe in your talent and courage. The Great Red is not invincible, and if we can successfully capture it, our names will surely be written in history."

Cao Cao gave it one last CPU boost, and all the young men and women were as excited as if they'd been injected with adrenaline.

However, at this moment, Ren suddenly burst out laughing.

Cao Cao looked over, his expression puzzled.

"You guys continue, I was just thinking about something happy."

Chapter 214 He ran there by himself.

Chapter 214

Cao Cao continued to explain, and Ren also tried hard to suppress his smile.

Before I time-traveled, I didn't find anything funny while watching the anime, but after I time-traveled, I realized that Cao Cao's words were indeed a huge joke.

Who gave him the courage to claim he could capture the Great Red?

Is it Liang Jingru?

"Once we capture the Great Red, we can conduct all sorts of experiments, such as trying to see what extent the 'Dragon Eater' can affect the Great Red. In any case, this is a very important experiment."

"However, during the upcoming experiments, members of the Five Great Houses will come to stop us. We look forward to your hard work and fighting back then."

That concludes tonight.

After the meeting, Jeanne followed Ren to the hotel. "Insane, absolutely insane! I never imagined Cao Cao would actually try to capture the Great Red."

But seeing that Rhodes didn't respond, she asked doubtfully, "Don't you have anything to say?"

Ren thought about it carefully and said, "People should have dreams. What if the Great Red is having her period these days and becomes very weak, and then happens to bump into the ground and faint when she descends, and then falls right into the trap that Georg made?"

"What a coincidence!"

That solves it.

Ren shrugged.

So go wash up and go to bed.

However, Jeanne clearly didn't want Ren to just fall asleep. She pressed on, "What about Yasaka? She's innocent, and Kyoto's fate is intertwined with hers. If something happens to her, Kyoto will be affected, and we'll all become sinners in history."

"Don't worry, I'm here, she'll be fine."

Hearing him say that, Jeanne knew better than to press him further.

"By the way, I have to go out tomorrow, can you cover for me?"

Ren, who had just fallen asleep, suddenly sat up again.

"What's the rush?"

"Find someone."

Ren plans to contact Suzaku Himejima tomorrow and try to trigger a new quest from her.

Having been undercover for so long, it's time for him to rise up and take control.

"Okay, I'll try my best."

Jeanne nodded, intending to chat for a while, but then she discovered that Ren had already collapsed onto the bed.

"Then I'll go rest too."

I was busy all day, and although I didn't do anything, my mind was on edge the whole time. Suddenly, when I relaxed, a wave of fatigue washed over me.

However, Jeanne soon discovered that the room Ren had booked only had one bed.

Where does she sleep at night?

Just as she was about to ask, she noticed that Ren very consciously made room for her on the bed. Although he didn't say anything, the implication was clear.

Jeanne hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted her teeth and lay down.

However, out of girlish modesty, she tried to keep her distance from Ren.

Lying in bed, Jeanne was lost in thought, her mind in turmoil.

At first, she treated Ren as a simple junior, and teasing him occasionally made her feel good.

Having spent so much time together, Ren was no longer just a junior in her heart; he was a true "hero," someone she could admire. Yet now, lying in the same bed, she felt nervous, awkward, and strangely expectant.

"What if Ren suddenly pounces on me in a bit? Should I accept it? Or should I accept it?"
