Immortal Chief: There's a Worm in There! / Etzel's Had Enough of This][.

Selena responded with a helpless pursed-lip expression.

"It is indeed the Pope, but she should be in class... I am the one here to attend the Myriad Immortals Ceremony."

Dente sneaked out.

Sure enough, Dente has a real talent for being "slick"...

Once a street urchin, always a street urchin.

Chapter 664 Xian Kui: There are roundworms!

The Xian Kui is in seclusion... and will not emerge for some time.

This news is quite interesting, and what's interesting is that it wasn't just being shared with a specific person, but rather being widely publicized.

The intention behind it, the message (subtext) they want to convey to the outside world, can be considered from various perspectives.

For those leaders, the unmistakable meaning is: [If I don't come out, don't even think about messing with the Monster King, just shut up].

For some who cannot see the situation clearly, this is actually a signal from the Xian Kui, a signal to "go ahead and do it."

But for Cong Yu...

"That's interesting to us."

As he spoke, Cong Yu browsed the store, picking out small handbags... After finishing his meal, he began to act with Takemikazuchi.

The other champions dispersed and went off to do whatever they wanted... in short, they all went off to have some fun.

"What's the meaning?"

"What's interesting?" asked Takemikazuchi, looking around curiously before settling on Cong Yu's shoulder.

"..."

"The 'meaning' implies tacit agreement, while the 'interesting' part is 'to let it go'... it's to let it go, Takemikazuchi."

As she said this, Cong Yu looked at Takemikazuchi, who seemed completely dazed and hadn't understood at all, and hung the bag she was holding around Takemikazuchi's neck.

How about this one?

Cong Yu asked, lifting Takemikazuchi in a way that resembled "The Lion King hugging Simba," and looked in the mirror. "Do you feel comfortable?"

Takemikazuchi looked at the mirror in front of him.

The shoulder bag that Cong Yu chose for him was a black, unremarkable leather bag, rectangular in shape and of a moderate size.

Of course, this wasn't important to him.

Even if it's a Doraemon design, Takemikazuchi wouldn't have any objections, but as for other humans...

This bag seems a bit complicated, with a dedicated phone pocket and a compartment for money, among other things.

But there was no space left for a wallet.

Those who buy mini crossbody bags that are only slightly larger than camera bags usually have their own wallets... which seems a bit like putting the cart before the horse.

However, it was just right for Takemikazuchi.

Wow! It's practically designed for little animals like him!

Looking at himself in the mirror, Takemikazuchi casually twisted his body, not feeling any discomfort.

"It seems alright."

Since that's the case, then let's go with this one...

Cong Yu nodded, then placed the other slightly different handbags aside. "Then I'll buy them for you."

In this way, Takemikazuchi wouldn't need to wear his phone around his neck all the time, nor would he have to use his tail to carry it when "taking money."

Then, while paying the Cong Yu explained what she meant by "letting things slide" earlier.

Our arrival was "planned".

Cong Yu said this, then shook her head and changed her words: "I was tricked... but the trick wasn't all that bad."

"They're simply using me as a check to prevent things from spiraling out of control, and then using our arrival to get rid of the unnecessary fools."

"A bloated thing needs surgery."

As she said this, Cong Yu carried Takemikazuchi, who had received new equipment, outside.

Then, with a "creak," he opened the zipper of the Takemikazuchi around his waist and put some money inside... From then on, Takemikazuchi also had to pay for his food.

There is no doubt that progress has been made.

This is a small step for Takemikazuchi, but it is...

A giant leap for all small animals.

Then, Takemikazuchi fell silent... not because of the bag and money, but because of the riddle that Cong Yu had mentioned.

Although what Cong Yu just said sounded like Japan, Takemikazuchi didn't understand it at all... It's probably a language that's very similar to Japan.

Hmm, maybe it's the Orionites dialect that Cong Yu learned from Etzel before.

Cong Yu: "..."

Takemikazuchi: "..."

Well, Cong Yu also realized that Takemikazuchi was Takemikazuchi, and not some other weirdo who could understand him.

"To put it simply... if someone who looks like a cop or a local magical girl has offended you, you can kill them all you want and then cause a huge scene without restraint."

Cong Yu said it so simply, but Takemikazuchi immediately looked a little surprised. "But didn't you say on the plane... that we should restrain ourselves a little in a foreign country?"

Indeed.

However, at that time, Cong Yu's main point was that he hoped Takemikazuchi wouldn't sleep on the roadside... as it wouldn't have a good international impact.

The main concern is that reporters might take things out of context.

Post something like, "[Shocking! Japan mascots are being treated like this in China!]" or...

[The unnamed Monster King slept outdoors in the wind and rain, and the China did not show any respect to the guest. The Monster King, who wished to remain anonymous, said that it was very windy at night.] and so on.

"It would be best if you could restrain yourself, but if someone tries to persuade you to follow the rules, or if you discover you're being watched..."

"But if you can't hold back anymore, then you can cause a huge scene as you please, even if it means killing someone."

Still not understanding, Takemikazuchi immediately expressed his doubts. "Isn't it a bit inappropriate to cause trouble for the Xian Kui of China?"

It seems that Takemikazuchi really didn't understand anything he said before, but Cong Yu was still very patient.

"It's not causing her trouble, it's actually helping her."

As Cong Yu spoke, she led Takemikazuchi strolling through the streets, stepping on the bluestone bricks and looking around at interesting shops.

"It's obviously good if we don't cause any trouble, but it would be even better if someone provokes us and makes things worse."

"Imagine if you have a group of subordinates who spend their days doing nothing, seem useless, and are completely disobedient, resulting in a significant waste of funds every month."

"So, would it be better if this group of people didn't exist?"

Cong Yu used this example and analogy, and then, with Takemikazuchi nodding, continued to explain, "But, as the boss, you can't just kill them or dismiss them, can you?"

Takemikazuchi nodded in agreement, then paused, thought for a moment, and asked, "Why can't we just kill him?"

Divine gold...

"No means no."

Cong Yu was speechless. He coughed lightly and said, "Oh, right... if you kill your subordinates indiscriminately, no one will want to be your subordinate in the future."

Takemikazuchi nodded again, indicating that he understood.

Cong Yu breathed a sigh of relief...

"But can't we just find an excuse?"

As she said this, Cong Yu chuckled, certain of her guess about Xian Kui's intentions. "For example, 'angering the Monster King,' something like that."

"Then, they can use 'poor management' and 'lax control over subordinates' as reasons to dismiss a large number of people."

"In this way, the power of discourse will be back in her hands."

That's what Cong Yu said.

Takemikazuchi immediately realized, slapping his paws. "Oh! Now that you mention it, I completely understand!"

I finally understand.

Cong Yu sighed softly, a relieved expression on her face, and then was just about to say something...

"Boom!!!!!!"

Not far away, a Light Beam suddenly burst forth from the earth to the sky, carrying a blinding flame that dazzled the world.

Oh - I messed with Etzel first...

Even a complete corpse wouldn't be left behind.

Chapter 665 Etzel is driving me crazy

Information asymmetry undoubtedly exists.

The so-called "king" is something that, when simply presented to someone, is neither perceptible nor understandable to laypeople.

Even if you've seen it in a book or been warned about it, it doesn't matter.

Their intelligence and imagination are insufficient for them to understand what constitutes a "Calamity" at that level.

Is the Monster King a living being?

Since it is a living creature, it can be killed by a gun, killed by a bomb, or destroyed by sufficient heat and kinetic energy.

Just like when Cong Yu was pierced through the chest by a specially made sniper rifle.

If we go all out and gather all the power of humanity, even the Monster King among monsters can be killed by firepower!

If that doesn't work, then it's because we don't have enough firepower!

At least, that's what laymen think.

The experts, of course, think... sorry, that's impossible.

If you can't kill them, you can't kill them; if you can't kill them, you can't kill them. It's not something that can be summed up by how high the cost is.

Even at the cost of losing a piece of land, we would use the most destructive weapons in human history to bombard it relentlessly.

The Monster King will still rise from the glass ruins buried deep underground.

Then they will inflict the most extreme retaliation on the world.

Having become so Fusion with magic itself, they can hardly be considered beings that can still be called living beings.

Undoubtedly, living in the same world while ignoring everything else is the best answer humanity can offer for survival.

Unfortunately, laymen don't think that way.

Dogmatism, bureaucracy, materialism, and an excessive reliance on common sense and physics... these are certainly not wrong.

The mistake is that these laymen even took a trivial matter as a major issue, and they were willing to try.

And they were excessively audacious.

"..." And then the most dramatic part of the whole story happened.

How should I describe it? Hmm, let me explain in more detail...

A muscular man with a skull pendant, a black mob the Godfather wearing sunglasses and reeking of gunpowder, a strikingly handsome young man and his duo with magical creatures, and an elderly man with white hair, wearing a robe, holding a scepter, and wearing an eyepatch...

There was also a little girl who looked cute, but nothing particularly special.

To a layman, the easiest person to mess with is obvious, and you could even say that it doesn't require much thought.

Unfortunately, although this guy wasn't the best fighter, his temper and contempt for others...

He is probably the best of Monster King have come to China so far.

"This is so annoying, I already told you I didn't want to go, right?"

Etzel picked at her ear with annoyance, looking at the politely inviting magical girl. "Tch, if you have important business to discuss, then come and pay your respects properly! Pay your respects, understand? Pay your respects like a nobody!"
