The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 761 - 367: Who Is the Joker After All

The area around Shinjuku Imperial Garden is Shinano Town, named after the former residence of the Neiteng Family, housekeepers of the Dechuan Shogunate during the Edo Period. Now, it is filled with luxury apartments and high-rise towers. From the balcony, one can see Akasaka Palace and the outer garden of Meiji Shrine, making it quite a prestigious residential area.

Because it is close to the headquarters of You Ying Group, it is one of the few residential areas not invaded by test subjects.

Moon Princess gazed out the window. The afternoon streets were as silent as a painting.

Curiously, it was initially thought that the test subjects would disrupt all of Tokyo, and the situation would continue to worsen.

No one expected that just at the break of dawn, the test subjects would collectively disappear, hiding somewhere unknown, like vampires from ancient tales fearing the sunlight, retreating into the darkness.

"The analysis of the test subjects is still ongoing. A special team has been established under Netherworld, headed by the renowned Dr. Aaron. He is a former alchemy scientist of the Ether Association, undisputedly the world’s leading figure in biotechnology and alchemy regeneration."

Su Youxia yawned, casually throwing a stack of documents onto the sofa. She lazily said, "We better hope these guys are hiding due to some biological instinct and not under human control.

Everyone has watched zombie movies.

No one wishes for such creatures to appear in reality, as it would be a devastating blow to modern civilization.

If someone could control these zombies, their danger level would undoubtedly increase tenfold.

Especially the destructive power of these test subjects, which far exceeds that of a zombie horde.

"Still haven’t found him?"

Moon Princess fiddled with the cat-face mask in her hand, her icy and exquisite face showing no emotion.

"No, since the battle with Judge Bai on that flyover, he has disappeared."

Su Youxia leaned half on the sofa, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows lazy, comforting, "Now not only am I looking for him, but the entire Dark World is searching for him. I have placed spies in all major families, and if there is any news, we will intercept it immediately. After all, Xiao Gu is no saint, he’s like Godzilla now."

Moon Princess responded with a hum. At present, she was quite calm.

Even though her boyfriend was missing, she wasn’t worried.

Because Gu Jianlin now was indeed like Godzilla, destroying anything in his path.

Moreover, Mr. Jing was currently in Tokyo. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

He was a reliable man and wouldn’t just watch his junior get into trouble.

Also, in this city, Tokyo, there were Shadows.

Gu Jianlin had once explained to her that under the President’s command lay such a mysterious organization.

The people in this organization were like shadows growing in the dark; their existence left no trace, silently rooting and budding, growing strongly in gloomy corners with belief and heritage as their stem.

This was an organization the President established specifically to counter the control of The Order of the Hidden.

If The Order of the Hidden usually worked through pushing the world’s trends to achieve its goals.

Then the Shadows were the ones watching and influencing the situation from the dark.

As the praying mantis hunts the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

After Moon Princess learned about the Shadow organization, she naturally understood many things.

For instance, some odd behaviors her teacher exhibited when taking her on travels.

Including the last action where she was betrayed.

Gunfire collisions sounded from the study next door; someone was assembling her beloved firearms.

Jiang Mingyan couldn’t live without her firearms; her arsenal was like a museum of modern weapons. The display cases on the walls were filled with guns and bullets she had meticulously collected, maintained to be lethal weapons ready for use, rather than toys for display.

That woman was now polishing and oiling her sniper rifle and its various components.

In fact, half a year ago, Moon Princess was always traveling the world with her teacher, hardly meeting her biological mother, and rarely interacting with anyone from the Jiang Family or the Dark World.

This was because Gu Ci’an had always protected her well.

It also showed the extent of his authority as a Shadow.

Until one day, her teacher returned deeply troubled, saying they had to meet someone.

Moon Princess was curious until she met that sharp-as-blade woman at the airport.

Since then, she’d lost her freedom.

Simultaneously, she gained new protection.

Reflecting now, her teacher perhaps already sensed the crisis, and arranged a contingency plan for her.

"Whatever the case, she’s still your mom."

Su Youxia sat cross-legged on the sofa, munching on a slice of watermelon, casually said, "Last night she was worried about you, even considering personally taking you away, but luckily Xiao Gu’s combat prowess is formidable."

Moon Princess said coldly, "My mom isn’t your mom?"

"I’m an adult; whether I have a mom or not doesn’t matter to me."

Su Youxia said with a beaming smile, "But you’re different; you’re underage."

Moon Princess, expressionless, grabbed the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword, ready to leave.

Bam.

The study door swung open.

Jiang Mingyan, dressed in a long black trench coat, the shadow of the brim obscuring her delicate yet cold visage. She carried a heavy metallic weapon case in her hands, her footsteps accompanied by the crisp clatter of metal.

"If you want to leave, you can."
