“Ye Yuekong, who is this person?” asked Jiang Liushi. The man’s sudden appearance and fluency in Chinese had startled Jiang Liushi. It had to be known that it was hard for the Japanese to speak in Chinese without an accent, but that man had done so.
“He is…Tsukuyomi, Genesis’ leader in Japan.”
“Tsukuyomi? Really? Isn’t it the name of one of the Three Gods portrayed in Japanese myths and legends?” exclaimed Jiang Liushi. “That man exudes a ferocious aura!”
Jiang Liushi was aware that Genesis’ goal was godhood. They were in pursuit of immortality and absolute power, transforming from ordinary people to gods. The names the Advocates had chosen showed that clearly. The best examples were two individuals, Shen Hai, and Shen Kui. In Chinese, Shen meant God, showing their audacious ambition.
“Yes, he is one of Genesis’ Advocates. However, he isn’t an ordinary guy as he has already completed the first life evolution!” replied Ye Yuekong gravely.
“Oh?” Jiang Liushi was shocked, and he wondered what the so-called first life evolution was.
“He is one of the members that joined Genesis a little after it was established. Completing the first life evolution means that he can live for 200 to 300 years old. He is already 80 years old! If you observe him carefully, you can see that he’s in his early 30s. There are four people like this in Genesis, including my deceased father…”
Ye Yuekong’s explanation left Jiang Liushi astounded. He took a deep breath because Tsukuyomi’s real age was too exaggerated, rivaling the vampires from the movies. During such a long life, how many historical changes could those people have witnessed? Just American history, from the War of Independence to the present, was about 200 years!
“Are you explaining my background? You can introduce it slowly,” said Tsukuyomi, and then he jumped down from the handrail.
Giving a closer look, Jiang Liushi noticed that Tsukuyomi was wearing a military trench coat. The military coat, as well as the uniform, were old-fashioned, probably from a half a century ago. It was as if Tsukuyomi had time-traveled from half a century ago to the present. Well, it was more appropriate to say that time had stopped affecting him, so he was able to live until now with his 30s appearance. Only now did Jiang Liushi understand why Genesis was so attractive.
“Miss Ye, I’ve witnessed you growing up. How beautiful you were! It’s a pity that your father was an idiotic and clumsy man. Originally, we planned to recuperate and built up our power until we met the best age, which was described in the lost civilization’s relic. We should have grasped that opportunity and become Gods. However, your father just wanted to pray for the salvation of the world, hoping that it could be changed back to its normal state. But we didn’t want to go back to that dull and boring way of life! Humans worked, ate, and bred all to wait for the final death…. Miss Ye, there’s still time for you. As long as you allow me to implant you a mental seed, I can help you resume your appearance. Then, I’ll hand you the strongest force and give you eternal youth. How about it?”
Tsukuyomi’s voice may be alluring, but Ye Yuekong’s eyes were still cold and emanating her killing intent. She knew that three people were responsible for her father’s death, and one of them was Tsukuyomi. How could she possibly become a subordinate of her father’s killer?
“Captain Jiang, you should be careful! That sword behind him is one of the weapons found in that relic,” reminded Ye Yuekong carefully.
A wave of excitement coursed through Jiang Liushi’s heart. He wanted to witness the power of the mysterious weapon.
“Oh, poor kid. It’s indeed a pity! Since you have made your decision, I will help you,” snarled Tsukuyomi.
At that moment, he suddenly jumped high, pulling out the long sword. In fact, its shape was quite strange.
“So high! You’re courting death!” shouted Jiang Liushi, and at the same time, he aimed at Tsukuyomi with the sniper rifle. Even if humans could float in the air like Shen Hai, their actions couldn’t be as flexible as they were on the land. Instead, their tricks gave Jiang Liushi more chance to fight against them!
Jiang Liushi’s blue energy charged into the armor-piercing projectile in a blink of an eye! The trigger was about to be pulled, and the bullet was ready to go! But at this moment, Jiang Liushi felt that the time around him seemed to have solidified instantly. His extremely agile movement seemed to be frozen. He felt as slow as a snail at this moment. However, Tsukuyomi was rushing toward them like a cheetah. That cold blade cut through the air, aiming at Jiang Liushi’s chest as if Jiang Liushi didn’t have any intention and chance to dodge.
‘Why?’ Jiang Liushi stunned.
“Brother Jiang, dodge quickly!” Just at the moment, Ran Xiyu’s scream awakened him like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky. Jiang Liushi slammed his tongue and awoke himself. Then, he retreated back quickly. However, it was too late for him to dodge. Fortunately, Jiang Zhuying and Xiang Xuehai joined hands in time. All of a sudden, winds with the force of a hurricane began to blow! Then, lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled. As a result, Jiang Liushi dodged at an extremely high speed. The two girls cooperated perfectly. One was responsible for repelling the enemy, and the other was responsible for rescuing him. Therefore, Jiang Liushi barely escaped with his life.
‘Illusions!’ said Jiang Liushi to himself.
Tsukuyomi was not only powerful, but he was also quite good at using illusions. It may be his trump card! Even Jiang Liushi was affected by the strange force and was almost sliced up by Tsukuyomi. In battles between top paranormals, Jiang Liushi needed to pay almost all his attention. Paranormals had various abilities, and nobody knew what could happen next. As the old saying goes, “An arrow shot from ambush is something difficult to guard against.”
Jiang Liushi exercised the highest vigilance. He couldn’t allow himself to make a second mistake.
“Oh, nice! All the women beside you are not simple!” Tsukuyomi took off his white gloves that were now blackened by electricity, and he said with a strange smile hanging on his face, “Unfortunately, they can only help you prolong your life for a little longer. Don’t worry. Later, I will help you take care of him!”
Jiang Liushi calmed himself down and said, “Have you revealed all your tricks? It’s my turn!”
