With a face full of guilt, Yamauchi Misaki said:
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, we've been searching outside every day, but it's still the same..."
Akari Tsukimura sighed softly and said:
"There aren't many days left until the 99-day deadline. If we haven't found fifteen Eye Souls by then..."
As she spoke, Akari Tsukimura turned to look at the calendar beside her; there were only a dozen days left until the deadline.
The difficulty of finding the remaining seven Eye Souls, whose whereabouts are unknown, within a period of more than ten days is unimaginable!
At this moment, Mikichi Yamauchi and Akari Tsukimura did not know that no matter how many Eye Souls they found, it would be impossible to collect all fifteen Eye Souls and gain another chance to make a wish.
Because two of the Eye Souls were not on Earth at all, but were taken back to the Eye Demon World by Alan at any time.
Therefore, their efforts were destined to be in vain.
Tenkuji Takeru, on the other hand, was quite open-minded and even comforted Yamauchi Misaki and Tsukimura Akari:
"Things will work themselves out, don't be so discouraged. Maybe you'll find it soon. Cheer up!"
Akari Tsukimura couldn't agree with either of them, and said:
"Who do you think we're worried about?! Can't you be a little more concerned? We're trying to save you, and you're just laughing and joking!"
Makoto Fukami, standing to the side, continued:
"I'll join them tomorrow too, to search for the Eye Soul together..."
Suddenly, the door was pulled open, and Lu Chen walked out while eating snacks, saying:
"I think Tenkuji-sensei is right. Things will work themselves out. Some things can't be forced. There's a term in this world called force majeure."
In fact, Lu Chen knew the truth. He knew that it was impossible for Tsukimura Akari and Yamauchi Misaki to collect all fifteen Eye Souls. At the same time, he also knew that Tenkuji Takeru wouldn't die. After all, he was the protagonist. With the protagonist's halo, how could he kick the bucket so easily!
That's not quite right either, Tenkuji-san has already kicked the bucket.
Upon seeing Lu Chen, Yamauchi Misaki asked 5.3 in a pleading tone:
"Lord Lu Chen, besides collecting Eye Souls, do you know of any other methods to revive His Highness? Or even just to postpone the revival deadline?"
Lu Chen nodded and said:
"There are indeed ways to postpone it, but I can't do it, so forget about it and just focus on collecting eye souls."
If even Lu Chen says there's no way, then there probably really isn't one.
Chapter 253 However, Yamauchi Misaki would soon pay the price for his impulsiveness.
In the eyes of Yamanouchi Yucheng and others, Lu Chen is now a senior figure, and his understanding of dealing with eye demons and eye souls is even more authoritative than that of the immortal uncle.
"Then there's nothing we can do. I refuse to believe we can't find it!!!"
Yamauchi Miki stood up, walked away, and went out to look for the Eye Soul again.
Next month, he also put away the notebook on the table and said:
"I'll help look for it too!"
However, the imagination was beautiful, but the reality was harsh. As time went by, there was still no news about the remaining few souls.
As the deadline drew closer, Mikichi Yamauchi, Akari Tsukimura, and the others grew increasingly impatient.
On the contrary, Tenkuji Takeru, the person in question, acted as if nothing had happened, still cheerful every day, as if the inability to find the Eye Soul had nothing to do with him.
Soon, the 99-day deadline arrived.
Looking at the large red circle on the calendar, Yamauchi Misaki was very unwilling and shouted loudly:
"Why, why are you treating His Highness like this? He's only eighteen!"
Akari Tsukimura looked at the calendar, her eyes reddening.
Makoto Fukami clenched his fists, his eyes filled with resentment.
Meanwhile, Scherbel also began his operation.
Although Alan told him not to act rashly, Shebel didn't think so. In his opinion, although he couldn't beat Lu Chen, he should be able to handle Tenkuji Mikoto and Yamauchi Misaki.
Furthermore, he learned that the Great Sky Temple group had collected a considerable number of Eye Souls, and he wanted to obtain them from them.
After much deliberation, Shebel decided to start with the other people at the Great Sky Temple, capture a few as hostages, and then lure Sky Temple Takeru and Makoto Fukami to come and redeem them with their Eye Souls!
The plan was simple, but Shebert knew it would work!
Because it was the last day of the 99-day deadline, Yamauchi Misaki was very anxious. He hurriedly left Daitenkuji Temple with his two disciples and frantically searched for the Eye Soul.
Even though he knew it was impossible to find the remaining Eye Souls within a day, Yamauchi Miki was unwilling to give up. As long as the deadline hadn't arrived, there was still hope, wasn't there?
However, Mikichi Yamauchi would soon pay the price for his impulsiveness.
After visiting a commercial street without success, Yamauchi Misaki took out his phone, intending to call his two disciples back so they could continue their search in another area.
However, when the call was made, it wasn't the disciple's voice that came from the other end, but an unfamiliar male voice.
"I am the Eye Demon. Your people have been kidnapped by me. If you want to ransom them, have Tenkuji Takeru and Fukami Makoto bring the Eye Souls to me. Also, you must not tell Lu Chen about this. If I see Lu Chen, I will kill them immediately, understand?"
After a long moment of shock, Yamauchi Misaki finally spoke in a trembling voice:
"I, I understand."
If the other side even got hold of the disciple's phone, then that person must have been kidnapped as well; there's no doubt about that.
Two ordinary people would have no chance of fighting back against a demon.
As soon as the call ended, Miyazaki Yamauchi received a text message with an address on it.
Yamauchi Miki gripped his phone tightly, a look of hesitation on his face.
He hesitated, wondering whether to do as the other party said, or to tell Lu Chen about it.
Chapter 254 After meeting with Tenkuuji Takeru, Fukami Makoto asked...
"The other party specifically mentioned Lu Chen, which means they must be wary of Lu Chen. In other words, they probably can't beat Lu Chen. But is it really okay to have Shibuya and the others kidnapped and risk their lives?"
After much deliberation, Yamauchi Mikichi made a decision: he would not tell Lu Chen about this matter for the time being. If he found that things were beyond saving when he arrived at the scene, he would then notify Lu Chen in time!
Anyway, Lu Chen has the amazing ability of the dimensional barrier, so he can come to support us at any time!
After making his decision, Yamauchi Misaki hurriedly headed to Daikō-ji Temple.
Back at the temple, Yamauchi Misaki quickly found Tenkuji-no-Mikoto.
Although today is the last day of the deadline, Tenkuji Takeru remains calm, sitting in meditation in front of the Buddha statue, as if worldly affairs are none of his concern.
After finding Tenkuji Takeru, Yamauchi Misaki took a deep breath, looked around, and, finding that Lu Chen, Izu, and Shirase Mariko were not nearby, approached Tenkuji Takeru and whispered:
"Your Highness, something terrible has happened!"
Tenkuuji-sensei opened his eyes, exiting his meditative state, and turned to look at Yamauchi Misaki, asking in confusion:
"What happened?"
Yamauchi Onari said:
"Shibuya and the other guy have been captured by an Eye Demon! I suspect it's the same higher-ranking Eye Demon who beat you guys into the hospital last time!"
"What?! Shibuya and the others have been captured?! What did that beholder say?!"
Upon hearing this, Tenkuji Takeru could no longer sit still and quickly stood up.
Yamauchi Misaki repeated what the other person had said to Tenkuji Takeru:
"They also said we can't notify Lu Chen, or they'll kill him!"
Upon hearing this, Tenkuji Takeru was 99% certain that the other party was the same eye demon he had encountered last time.
"Then let's not notify Lu Chen for now. Let's go and rescue Shibuya and the others. That guy isn't as strong as we thought. If Makoto Fukami and I team up, we might be able to defeat him."
Tenkuji no Takeru quickly made a decision and then asked Yamauchi no Misaki to bring Fukami Makoto to him.
Soon, Makoto Fukami arrived at Daitenkuji Temple. He was outside helping to search for the Eye Soul when he was called back by Misaki Yamauchi.
"I already know the general situation. Are you really not going to inform Lu Chen about this?"
After meeting with Takeru Tenkuuji, Makoto Fukami asked.
Misaki Yamauchi expressed his thoughts:
"Let's go and rescue them first. If there's really no other way, we can notify Lu Chen later. He can arrive anytime."
Seeing that Tenkuji Takeru also agreed with Yamauchi Misaki's statement, Fukami Makoto naturally had no objection.
So the three of them, along with the eight Eye Souls they had, headed to the address Shebert had sent them.
Little did they know, Izzy had overheard their conversation.
Although Izzy wasn't there, but in the study next door, Izzy isn't an ordinary person, she's a Humagear!
Her hearing range is far beyond that of normal people; she can hear things clearly even if they are in a room apart.
Upon learning that Shibuya and the others had been captured, and that Tenkuji Takeru and the others were planning to rescue them, Izu quickly found Lu Chen and told him about it:
"Lu Chen, are you going to rescue them?"
After hearing Izzy's words, Lu Chen remained calm and shook his head, saying:
Chapter 255 Whether Xiao Zun can survive this calamity depends on whether a miracle occurs.
