It's still unclear how many of those Mukade -automatic puppets the centipede, using the alias Anrokuzan, actually created, but it's always better to be safe than sorry. (Tianlai Novel Network)
"That Mukade guy is really ruthless! This is supposed to be a city, but now it's practically deserted!"
He passed building after building, though this was only part of the outer perimeter, but so far, Qi hadn't seen a single person.
Based on the part of the plot learned from the original work, Qi can easily deduce that most of the people of Country of Roran during this period were probably used as expendable resources by Mukade and worked to death in the puppet-making workshops underground!
The former queen, who was killed by the Mukade, seemed meticulous, but in reality, she was too naive and too confident. If she had been a little more shrewd, she might not have been so easily tricked by the Mukade.
'It seems we still need to investigate that central tower; we can't get any useful information from this area at all.'
It went around in a complete circle.
There wasn't a single person in sight.
Nothing of particular value was found.
Qi had no choice but to abandon his previous plan. He looked up at the towering spire that seemed incredibly tall even in the entire Rōran City, a faint sharpness flashing in his eyes, as he silently pondered to himself.
Unlike my previous life.
In this lifetime.
It seems that the Sand Ninja ninja initiated the contact.
Although Qi's personal goal was to find an opportunity to obtain the power of the Dragon Vein, he could not ignore the task assigned by the village. At the very least, he had to obtain enough information to complete the task. Therefore, with no other options, that tall tower became Qi's only choice.
However, just as Qi approached that tall tower...
"Buzz!"
The ground suddenly began to shake violently.
"What!?"
A powerful and chilling energy fluctuation emanated from it.
In the airspace above.
"Whoosh!"
A bright, dazzling purple halo suddenly appeared.
" Dragon Vein!?"
The sight I saw immediately sparked a thought in my mind.
"Not good!"
Qi's expression immediately changed. Although he didn't know what had happened, the situation and the scene looked remarkably similar to the violent outburst and leakage of Dragon Vein power in the original work!
A sense of danger was spreading.
Facing it head-on.
Qi's hair stood on end.
"Whoosh!"
With a burst of Chakra from the soles of his feet.
They no longer cared about concealing themselves and sped back the way they came, wanting to leave the area as quickly as possible!
pity!
The area covered and the speed at which this beam of purple light extended far exceeded Qi's imagination; it had only covered a few steps in the blink of an eye.
"Buzz!"
The purple light spread out.
It was in that sudden contraction of his pupils.
It completely covered his figure.
Then the next moment.
In a situation where there is simply no way to deal with it.
Qi's vision went black, his consciousness sank completely into darkness, and he lost control of his body.
Only that single beam of purple light remained, blooming brilliantly throughout the Rōran City!
Even in extremely distant countries, this beam of purple light could be seen, and at this moment, it attracted the attention of countless people all over the world to focus on the Rōran City!
And no one knows exactly how much time has passed.
This seems to be an entirely immeasurable passage of time.
It seemed as brief as a second, yet also as enduring as eternity.
As a ray of slightly strong sunlight shone on Qi's face, his tightly closed eyes twitched slightly. His eyes, which slowly opened, seemed unfocused, filled with a look of confusion.
A head that slowly turns.
A look of utter bewilderment appeared on his face.
And only a few seconds later.
"!?"
This seems to be a consciousness that has been retrieved all at once.
Qi's spirits lifted, and his subconscious mind immediately turned to the ground. The events that had just occurred flashed through his mind, and Qi quickly checked his body, finding nothing amiss.
Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked up and around.
But what met his eyes was a vast, boundless grassland!
Azure sky, emerald green lawn!
At first glance, it really is a sight to behold!
'But wasn't I in a desert before? Could I have won the lottery too!? And from so far away, without even seeing the actual item?'
Qi's lips twitched slightly involuntarily.
He was, after all, a time traveler!
Someone who knows the general plot!
If it were anyone else, they would at most guess that they were either trapped in a powerful Genjutsu or teleported over a long distance by Space-Time Ninjutsu!
However, Qi has a third guess: that he has traveled through time. Or, to be more precise, it may not just be time, but even space!
But what exactly is the situation?
That means you'll have to figure it out yourself!
The only certainty at this point is that the first guess is out of the game!
After all, aside from the Infinite Tsukuyomi Technique, I'm sorry, I really can't think of any other Genjutsu powerful enough to create such a realistic Genjutsu.
As for the speculations regarding the latter two possibilities...
It only takes a little time to distinguish them.
However, I personally believe he was 'time-traveled'!
The question now is, did I go back to the past, or did I travel to the future?
Qi looked at the vast grassland and sighed inwardly, thinking silently.
The contemplation only lasted a short while.
I want to find out what's going on.
Then we must take action.
Even the worst situation couldn't be worse than standing still. Qi looked around and made a quick assessment of his surroundings.
"Whoosh!"
The Chakra beneath his feet exploded.
Its figure flew away at lightning speed into the distance.
It took Qi a good hour to finally leave the grassland and then cross a forest before he detected the presence of living people for the first time within his perception range!
And it wasn't just one person!
Qi's lips curled up slightly.
With a further burst of Chakra, he took a step and sped towards the selected target area at an even greater speed.
Not long after, after crossing a small hill.
A small town came into view.
Watching the people coming and going at the city gate.
A faint hint of joy also flickered in his eyes.
'Finally, we've found someone alive!'
There is someone.
Only then will we have intelligence!
A figure flashed away at lightning speed.
Finding a blind spot, Qi leaped into the town and immediately used his Transformation Technique.
"Puff!"
After transforming into a young man in his early twenties, Qi began his intelligence gathering!
