Chapter 384 The plot is in disarray, should we continue?
A cataclysmic event! The others weren't blind!
Anyone who didn't know better would think that the major powers had suddenly sent more mushroom eggs to Japan, and that Japan hadn't even caught them yet.
After checking all night, they found nothing wrong!
Apart from the blinding, daylight-like light, everything else seemed as if nothing had happened.
Of course, the weather bureau didn't think that way. They saw from the satellite that Neon was shrouded in a large storm, and then it was soon destroyed by a violent energy!
And those rune arrays covering most of Tokyo—every ordinary citizen with a nightlife could see them.
This includes Princess Mila, who plays wildly even late at night, and the famous Fujiko Mine.
Princess Mila, who originally wanted to play a little longer, now wants to go home. Oh my god, Japan is too dangerous!
Fujiko Mine agreed, secretly trembling with fear. Damn it! A simple bodyguard job! It almost scared me to death! I hope she doesn't find out who caused all that commotion last night!
Otherwise... otherwise... otherwise I'll definitely make him pay for emotional distress! A hundred or eighty billion!
Um! That's it!
Back at the hotel.
Count Keith and Inspector Megure's group, upon learning of Li Muyang's return, all rushed to find him.
"Mr. Li, last night..."
"The enemy is dead," Li Muyang replied expressionlessly. "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
The group swallowed hard, not daring to ask any further questions.
The most capable fighter present, as everyone knows, is the seemingly harmless Li Muyang, along with the seemingly delicate and cute girl beside him.
Even if they suspected that the commotion last night was caused by Li Muyang, they didn't dare to ask for clarification.
As for why they suspected Li Muyang, they weren't stupid. The hotel was the first place to be attacked, and the center of the magic circle was also the hotel. Last night, besides the staff, the only people left in the hotel were the deployed police, Uncle Mori's family, Li Muyang, and Erii.
Moreover, as soon as the commotion subsided, they rushed to Li Muyang's room, only to find that Old Li was nowhere to be seen, and Erii... was asleep, completely unaware of anything.
Such a loud noise! How could you sleep?!
Erii didn't seem to be lying; she didn't even know about the magic circle's activity last night.
So everyone naturally guessed that Li Muyang had taken precautions to protect Erii before leaving. As for what he did, nobody knew; they could only wait for him to return.
And so we waited until dawn.
Not long after, Inspector Megure and Count Keith received intelligence about the situation on a deserted island. It has to be said that modern satellites are indeed powerful. Moreover, the fact that the two places are so far apart can still be linked together. There must be a mastermind behind this!
You agree, right, Gojo Satoru-sensei?
"Don't say that! How was I supposed to know it was you?" Gojo Satoru complained, half-laughing and half-crying, over the phone. "When have you ever used a trick like this before! If I had known it was you, I wouldn't have given such unsolicited advice! Now I'm the one who's showing off my limited knowledge!"
Li Muyang crossed his legs and said leisurely, "You handle this matter. Anyway, it doesn't matter to me whether I tell anyone else or not!"
Gojo Satoru nodded: "That's right. With the power you've shown so far, even destroying a great nation in an instant wouldn't be too difficult."
As someone directly involved in last night's events, Gojo Satoru naturally had a general understanding of what happened. What was terrifying was not just the enormous energy generated by the explosion, but that this terrifying power actually protected other onlookers from harm!
And it was all done by one person!
If this person were to go all out to destroy it, Gojo Satoru was certain that Earth would be doomed.
Therefore, even the destruction of a major power was a very conservative estimate by Gojo Satoru!
With power at this level, what does Li Muyang have to fear? Isn't this a piece of cake?
After Gojo Satoru had a heart-to-heart talk with the higher-ups, the matter was considered closed. What? Who was the enemy last night? It doesn't matter anymore. Li Muyang said he was dead, so he's dead! A dead man is unimportant!
Respect for the strong is instinctive, and the Japanese leadership does a good job in this regard. Regardless of their true thoughts, they act very respectfully and properly on the surface.
Moreover, if there are still strong individuals who can catch up, they might actually have some ulterior motives. But if the gap is too big, like the difference between clouds and mud, or the distance between heaven and earth, then there's nothing to say, just play it safe.
The rest are not a problem at all. This happened in Japan. If something really happens, it will be the Japanese government that will be the first to argue with other countries. Li Muyang doesn't need to worry about it.
As for ordinary people... just find a few experts or professors... report it on TV, give an explanation based on natural phenomena, and everything is over.
Nowadays, the only ones who dare to surround Li Muyang are Erii and the Grim Reaper Elementary School Student.
"Brother Li, tell me the truth, is the enemy who controlled the storm last night really dead?" Conan asked with sharp eyes, though it would be even better if his eyes were less dark!
Li Muyang rolled his eyes: "What do you intend to do?"
Conan greeted him with a smile: "That's awesome!"
"Tell the truth!" Li Muyang rolled his eyes again, completely devoid of emotion. Who was he trying to fool?
Conan's lips twitched, and he had no choice but to confess honestly: "Ahem! Um... is Ran really in danger on this trip?"
Li Muyang glanced at the embarrassed elementary school student, so this kid actually knows fear! He hadn't slept a wink last night, witnessing everything unfold from the rooftop, and he had to admit, this kid was incredibly audacious!
He saw the storm dragon charging towards him from the rooftop, yet he still dared to stay there. Wasn't he afraid that he wouldn't be able to intervene in time to save him, or successfully stop it? If so, he would be the first one to meet his end!
Conan: "...Stop messing around! You think I didn't want to hide? I was just so scared my legs went weak! I can't run away!"
Faced with a power akin to a natural disaster, the usually self-important elementary school student, Death God, finally realized his own weakness.
Therefore, Uncle Mori, Inspector Megure, and Conan are all very dissatisfied with Count Keith's insistence on having Ran as a stand-in to go to Vesbania! That's going too far!
Even Xiaolan hesitated! Because the situation looked life-threatening!
Even Earl Keith himself hesitated. If it were just an innocent girl serving as the princess's substitute for a few days, he would be confident in protecting her. But now that a superhuman force has intervened, based on what happened last night, let alone Vespania, even all the countries on Earth combined might not be able to withstand it!
If Li Muyang hadn't been there, those storm dragons alone... no! Just the storms themselves! Would have wiped out everyone! Half of Japan would have been destroyed!
Li Muyang had no choice but to say again, "I already said, the enemy is dead! Their soul has been scattered! Otherwise, where do you think I disappeared to last night? I went to finish them off!"
"Last night was completely unexpected! I never imagined that a pawn would actually be the hidden mastermind! An ancient evil spirit that has lived for nearly ten thousand years! Moreover, this kid's situation is a bit special; ordinary methods simply cannot kill him! In order to eliminate him completely, I also expended a lot of energy! And I paid a considerable price!"
Staring intently at the somewhat dejected Li Muyang, Conan felt even more embarrassed and sighed, "You've worked hard!"
"So you mean there's no other danger?" Conan changed the subject but then circled back to the beginning.
Li Muyang nodded, paused, and then shook his head.
Conan was dumbfounded: "Does it or not?"
"How would I know!" Li Muyang retorted. "I'm not a mind reader! Even though I helped them take down the final boss, I can't say for sure whether they'll continue to target Vesbania!"
Even Li Muyang didn't know whether Samuel attacked the people of Vesbania on Xuan Yue's orders or at his own initiative! He also didn't know their objective!
Upon hearing this, Conan turned and left: "Then Ran absolutely cannot go!"
No matter what Earl Keith says, there's no way he'll let Xiao Lan go to Vespania!
Li Muyang, however, looked out the window at the planes and casually joked, "Sorry, you seem to be late!"
Conan turned around and saw the vehicles taking off outside the window, leaving him completely bewildered.
Damn it! Go to hell!
Then he turned and left.
"Do you have a passport?" Li Muyang teased, watching the Grim Reaper elementary school student resolutely leave.
Conan's steps faltered, feeling embarrassed.
Forget about a passport, his identity is fake! How could he possibly travel abroad by public transport?
"Brother Li~" Conan suddenly realized something and looked at Li Muyang with a fawning smile: "Please help me out~"
Li Muyang took a sip of tea: "What good would you do there? Just cause trouble?"
Conan solemnly said, "Even if I die, I must..."
"Stop!" Li Muyang's lips twitched. Good heavens, what's with all this talk of dying? He said to the plane that was gradually disappearing into the distance, "Don't worry, I've provided Xiaolan with very secure bodyguards! The ancient evil spirit is dead! The rest are nothing to fear!"
"Really!" Conan instantly came to life! You can't lie to me!
Li Muyang nodded. Keith's little tricks naturally didn't escape his notice, so he had already made arrangements for Xiaolan.
Make Tamamo-no-Mae your maid, with Shiro by your side.
In case of any unexpected situation, he can take action at any time with the help of the contract.
As for why I didn't go with her myself... well, she's the girl of the Grim Reaper Elementary School Student!
Ahem! Just kidding. It's just that Li Muyang is inconvenient right now. He doesn't know where Xuan Yue is, let alone whether Xuan Yue knows that Muir V is dead. So, for safety's sake, Li Muyang has to keep an eye on Xuan Yue and the Fallen Angel Legion, who are unknown to him, to prevent any unforeseen events.
