Chapter 253
"Array of Profound Fire!"
The Book of Cang Xuan is an automated combat Armed Doll created by combining a programmed Soul Steel mimic core with weapons.
The technology originated from Dr. EINSTEIN in the last century and was jointly created by Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu to take care of Fu Hua's daily life. It is also equipped with a Honkai detector, GPS, firepower system, and books and software such as "Joke King" and "Story Collection", making it virtually omnipotent.
At the beginning of its creation, although the Book of Cang Xuan was endowed with combat abilities, Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu, Fu Hua's two best friends, only hoped that after their deaths, someone could accompany Fu Hua so that she could always maintain a warm and kind heart.
It accompanied Fu Hua for thousands of years, but eventually fell into a deep sleep after the founding of the Tang Dynasty due to the depletion of its energy.
The "Array of Profound Fire" that Luo Mio is currently in sight is a combat skill of the Book of Cang Xuan.
Although the "Array of Profound Fire" is hidden in the inner world space under the consciousness of the Book of Cang Xuan, it will appear once an enemy attacks. Enemies who step into the "Array of Profound Fire" will have their movements instantly restricted, and the mysterious fire in the array can continuously burn the enemy.
After waking up from his slumber, he was equipped with a brand new infinite power bank (referring to Luo Mio) Book of Cang Xuan didn't need to worry about energy consumption at all and directly used his full power to unleash the "Array of Profound Fire".
Luo Mio looked towards the window of her room.
He saw a petite figure waving at him from the window.
Her petite figure had a head of smooth black hair with a very noticeable ahoge (cowlick) on it, and the same azure eyes as Luo Mio and Fu Hua.
"I don't know if something will happen if I leave her alone at home."
In the Consciousness Space, Fu Hua looked at the Book of Cang Xuan by the window through Luo Mio's perspective and sighed softly.
"Probably not..."
Luo Mio smiled awkwardly.
Just then, the sound of a car braking came from behind Luo Mio.
Luo Mio turned around to look.
A very luxurious black limousine stopped behind Luo Mio, and a beautiful woman dressed like her secretary and wearing glasses stepped out of the limousine.
"Hello, Mr. Todou."
"You may call me Kiyomi. I have come to greet you on behalf of His Your Highness Holy Child."
The female secretary named Kiyomi explained to Luo Mio.
Then, turning to Luo Mio, he said, "It's not convenient to explain the commission to you in detail right now, so I can only explain it to you on the way to the 'Holy Abode.'"
After saying that, he opened the car door and gestured for Luo Mio to enter.
Luo Mio didn't say much and got into the car directly.
On the way to "Saint Residence", Kiyomi explained to Luo Mio.
"I'm not entirely clear on the specifics of the commission. His Your Highness Holy Child only said he would take you to the 'Your Highness Holy Child Abode,' and he will personally explain the details of the commission to you."
"Really? I understand."
Upon hearing Kiyomi's words, Luo Mio simply nodded slightly in acknowledgment before turning her gaze to the outside of the car window.
What did that girl want me to do...?
Luo Mio arrived at the "Sacred Abode" with doubts.
Looking at the magnificent and splendid Western-style building in front of her, Luo Mio's blue eyes couldn't help but flicker with a complex emotion.
Then Kiyomi led Luo Mio towards the gate of "Sacred Residence".
After Kiyomi reported her name and purpose to the guards, and waited for them to complete a series of formalities such as notification, Luo Mio and Kiyomi were led into the "Holy Residence" by the guards.
Upon entering the "Sacred Abode," Kiyomi walked ahead, with Luo Mio following behind her, her azure eyes gazing at the familiar walls and corridors within the "Sacred Abode."
Finally, Kiyomi led Luo Mio to the end of the corridor.
I remember this place is...
At the end of the corridor, there was a door, and two men in white coats stood in front of it.
These were the "Holy Abode," or rather, the Guard Officer of the Holy Child.
Luo Mio frowned slightly after looking at the two men's appearances.
New faces...
"Stop!"
One of the men saw Kiyomi and Luo Mio behind her, took a step forward and said to Kiyomi.
"Kiyomi, may I ask who he is?"
After she didn't hear it, she spoke to the man.
"This is Toudo Touka, a police officer from the Tendo Civil Security Company."
"!"
Upon hearing Kiyomi mention the police officers from the Tendo Civil Security Company, the man showed a surprised expression. However, when he heard the name Toudo Touka, his surprised expression returned to normal.
That's understandable.
In terms of fame, the most famous person in the Tendo Civil Security Company right now is Satomi Rentaro, after all, he eliminated Scorpio, one of the "Zodiac Twelve Zodiacs" that almost destroyed the world in the past. Compared to Luo Mio's fame, she is only famous for defeating the murderer who stole something important.
Moreover, after Rentaro, Kisara, and Enju left that night, Hoshikage Hisomi brought the girl to Luo Mio's house. During dinner, he told her that besides the headquarters' operators, the people present at the operations headquarters that day were all high-ranking officials in the Tokyo Area, as well as the old Guard Officer had served as Luo Mio and Holy Child when they were young.
"Then may I ask, Ms. Kiyomi, what brings this police officer from Toudou here first? You should know that a very important meeting is taking place inside."
"I know."
Kiyomi explained to the man, "This police officer from Dongtang was personally assigned this task by His Your Highness Holy Child."
"!"
"?"
The former showed a shocked expression, while the latter raised an eyebrow slightly.
After hearing what Kiyomi said, Luo Mio's azure eyes also sparkled.
That girl entrusted me with this task alone...?
Wasn't it commissioned by Kisaragi...?
As the president of the company, Tendo Kisara passed on most of the commissioned tasks to him and Rentaro.
This girl...
Upon hearing Kiyomi's words, the man exchanged a glance with his companion on the other side, and then spoke to Kiyomi.
Please wait a moment.
After saying that, he turned around, opened the door, and walked inside.
Not long after.
The door opened, and a tall, handsome man stepped out.
Hello.
Chapter Thirty-Two: Eye Contact.
Hello.
The man had a slightly neurotic, pointed face with a pair of very sharp eyes. Although he looked to be in his early thirties, his handsome face and slender figure still attracted many young women and beautiful young ladies.
Who is he?
Luo Mio's eyes flickered slightly when she saw the handsome man walking out of the house.
"Hello, I am Hoshikage Takuto, a warrant Second Lieutenant, and I am honored to serve as the Captain of the Guard."
"..."
Upon hearing his words, Luo Mio raised an eyebrow slightly.
Captain of the Guard...
Shouldn't the position of Captain of the Guard be held by that guy Hoshizaki...?
The man in front of her, who claimed to be the Captain of the Guard, made Luo Mio's eyes light up with a hint of amusement.
"Is this Toudo Touka?"
Hoshikage Takuto looked at Luo Mio, then said apologetically, "I'm very sorry, but our 'Holy Abode' did not issue any mission requests to your Tendo Civil Security Company."
"..."
Luo Mio Ling's azure eyes flickered slightly as she looked at the hypocritical apology on Hoshikage Takuto's face.
Upon hearing Hoshikage Takuto's words, Kiyomi, who was standing next to him, quickly chimed in.
"This is a commission personally issued by His Your Highness Holy Child, not by the 'Holy Residence'! It also states that if Mr. Todou arrives at the 'Holy Residence,' he must personally inform her!"
"We are His Your Highness Holy Child's personal Guard Officer! His Your Highness Holy Child's orders should be relayed by us, not by you, Miss Kiyomi, bringing some irrelevant person as an excuse to see His Your Highness Holy Child!"
Hoshikage Takuto spoke to Kiyomi in a slightly louder voice.
"If Miss Kiyomi really has something to discuss with His Your Highness Holy Child, please wait in the Reception Hall. If you are lucky, His Your Highness Holy Child will take some time out of his busy schedule to meet with you."
Upon hearing Kiyomi Hoshikage Takuto's words, Kiyomi's eyes narrowed, and she clenched her fists tightly.
"..."
After glancing indifferently at Hoshikage Takuto, Luo Mio shifted her gaze to Kiyomi.
"Kiyomi, let's go to the Reception Hall and wait for a while."
"Huh? But..."
"It's alright, after all, His Your Highness Holy Child has a very important meeting right now."
After speaking, Luo Mio looked at Hoshikage Takuto.
All that could be seen was that Hoshikage Takuto's sharp, seemingly gentle eyes looked at Luo Mio with a mocking gaze.
Luo Mio's azure eyes flickered slightly as she looked into the room.
After glancing at it once, Luo Mio turned and walked towards the Reception Hall.
Kiyomi glanced at Hoshikage Takuto, then sighed helplessly.
Hoshikage Takuto watched Luo Mio and Kiyomi leave, a slightly mocking smile appeared on his lips.
"They're quite sensible."
Then he turned around and went back into the room.
Inside was the Press Conference Room, where iron pipe chairs were neatly arranged, and media reporters sat on them. A spotlight and a podium were set up in front of them.
On the stage stood a girl in a pure white dress, her beautiful face, which seemed holy and unapproachable, adorned with a gentle smile.
The young girl's oratory skills were so impressive that even adults would be envious, and she spoke in a gentle and clear tone.
From behind the stage Hoshikage Takuto saw the girl's holy beauty, elegant demeanor, and graceful figure, and his sharp eyes were filled with burning passion.
——
In the Reception Hall.
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Todou."
Kiyomi bowed to Luo Mio and said apologetically.
Luo Mio waved her hand to indicate that she was alright, and then asked Kiyomi.
"Kiyomi, I have a question."
"Ah, please speak."
"I remember the position of Captain of the Guard was held by Mr. Hoshikage Hisomi. Why has it been changed so suddenly?"
Upon hearing Luo Mio's question, Kiyomi smiled helplessly, then adjusted her glasses and asked Luo Mio.
"Mr. Todou, have you been watching the news lately?"
"No, not recently."
"Mr. Todou, you should know that there are two people standing beside His Your Highness Holy Child: one is His Tendo Aide, and the other is His Hoshikage Hisomi Hisami."
"I know."
Then Kiyomi explained to Luo Mio.
