I Can See Health Bars in Real Life-Chapter 357 - 19: Suspicion, Onslaught, Confrontation

In that case, it can explain some things that Gu Mo previously found a bit strange.

Why did Kaguya possess such terrifying abilities and such a powerful treasure... As the prototype, the Celestial Maiden must have been someone of significant origin, but in the end, she came to the Human World, was devoured by a Demon, and then the whole thing seemed not to cause any ripple, with no further follow-up.

But thinking about it now, her origin might indeed be significant because it’s very likely that she was a humanoid created by the Great God, one of the Triumvirate, who became alive and then stole a Divine Artifact...

So the Celestial Maiden itself indeed has powerful abilities, such as the characteristic of eternal youth, and perhaps because she is a Goddess creating a similar humanoid based on herself, she possesses even more terrifying divine powers...

Like the kind of Curse Technique that stops the world’s time, plunging the earth into eternal silence on a night with a full moon, causing all things in the world to perish... This clearly surpasses the usual meaning of Spells or Demon Techniques; it doesn’t seem like a technique meant for the Human World, even though the conditions to trigger it are quite stringent, it still requires a treasure like the Celestial Maiden’s Feather Robe, combined with Dream City to initiate.

——But even so, it is obviously overpowered, which is an apparent fact.

However, having sufficient background doesn’t necessarily mean having sufficient backing...

If the Celestial Maiden is indeed a humanoid created by the Goddess, developed her own thoughts, stole the Goddess’s Divine Artifact, and ran away, then all this could be explained. No wonder in the end she died a violent death in the mortal realm, with no one stepping up for this supposedly honorable Celestial Maiden.

Kikyo naturally didn’t think that much; the information she had was not enough, but she quietly watched Gu Mo’s serious contemplation without speaking.

Anyway, as long as this person sorts out his thoughts and then informs me, it’s fine.

Gu Mo sorted out the clues, integrated the information provided by Kikyo along with the intelligence and clues he knew, and came up with a seemingly more consistent and generally acceptable explanation. Then he glanced at the Witch, coughed once, cleared his throat, and narrated slowly.

The Witch listened quietly without uttering a word; while her eyes were calm, a faint hint of peculiarity quietly appeared deep in her gaze towards him.

Is this person not from the future? He claimed to know everything...

How come it seems like now he doesn’t have that foresight? Even the so-called revival of Kaguya was something he only reacted to after coincidentally encountering it?

By logic, according to what this guy said, the era he comes from should be somewhat further ahead than this age. He shouldn’t have forgotten such a significant event, or perhaps, did he actually know about such things but didn’t expect it to happen at this time?

However——

Can past events change because of people from the future?

Kikyo gently furrowed her brows, adding a bit more suspicion to Gu Mo’s real origin, but she didn’t realize that the insightful Witch actually noticed her own character’s issue, while the latter thought she was seriously pondering over his words.

After finally finishing everything in one breath, Gu Mo picked up the cup and drank a sip of coffee that had already turned cold, then looked at the Witch: "What do you think, Kikyo?"

"We must stop her... but how should we do it? Do you know where she is currently?"

The Witch pondered without much hesitation over this matter.

She didn’t know the true strength of Kaguya, but at least understood one thing, an ancient Great Demon causing chaos in this era is something she absolutely doesn’t want to see happening... Since she encountered it, she couldn’t pretend she didn’t see it.

"Not clear, the seal of Kaguya is in some unknown deep mountain forest; it might be due to land development in this era that recently damaged the seal..."

Gu Mo shook his head. Although he had an impression of this, who knows exactly where that fleeting image was, after all, the animation didn’t provide latitude and longitude maps either.

"But just as you said, to return to the heavens, He Eiki needs five treasures to initiate the ritual, and similarly, Kaguya also needs five treasures for her own ritual, and the Celestial Maiden’s Feather Robe needs to be reclaimed as well... She will come looking sooner or later." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

He said this while looking towards a certain direction outside the window display.

The Spiritual Touch Threads he had deployed weren’t retracted; after all, the consumption was weak and slow, so there was no need to pay attention to it, and they could constantly observe the movements over there. That student, Hojo, had not gone far, nor had those few girls; they also found a cold drink shop to sit outside, eating and chatting.

However, aside from initially Hojo pouring out grievances, complaining about his family’s strange ancestral teachings, and everyone discussing the recent full moon news, the topic quickly shifted to peers’ mundane conversations about teachers, homework, and the soon-to-arrive school festival, etc.

It didn’t provide any more useful information... hmmmmm, unless Himura Kagome’s condition counts as useful intelligence.

After all, during this period, Gu Mo had already heard that Hojo was quite concerned about Himura Kagome’s condition, through subtle inquiries with her friends...

First, he pretended to ask casually if Himura Kagome’s athlete’s foot was better, then after saying a few words, he naturally led the topic to Himura Kagome’s arthritis, and then kindly inquired if Himura Kagome had improved any from throwing out her back two weeks ago...
