Erii is called the perfect parasite because she has the most White King genes in her body.
Therefore, the same logic applies to the resurrection of the White King. As long as enough 'Emperor's' remains are collected to complete the White King's genes, it is possible to replace Erii in awakening the White King and obtaining the White King's authority, as long as the parasitic holy remains are deceived.
Let's talk about some setting issues. Deadpool can use Word of Power, but Corpse Keeper can't. The Deadpool in "Wings of Mourning" can use Word of Power, and the Immortals in "Dragon Five," which are the Deadpools raised in the ice cellar of Kassel College, can also use Word of Power. This is because Deadpools are living beings, and Word of Power is an instinctive talent. This is not my fan-made creation, but the original setting.
Regarding the timeline of the final performance at the Takamagahara host club, the original setting is three months after the sinking of Tokyo. I think this time is too long, and there are conflicts in the original timeline. Three months have clearly passed, but the humpback whale says that Erii gave him the check a few days ago.
So I finally revised it to three weeks, which should be just right. If it takes three months to do hypnosis, the rumors will have spread to the United Nations.
Let me say a few more words.
This book is nearing its end. The Tokyo arc is the longest, and the story was difficult to adapt, so the main plot follows the original work. I was very busy for a while, and the writing was a bit rushed and disorganized, so the quality isn't great. Please forgive me.
The subsequent story will still follow the old timeline, meaning that the story of Lu Mingfei in his fifth year of university in "Dragon King" will not be written. The story will end on Christmas Day in 2012, which is the Ragnarok part of "Dragon King".
Therefore, I don't plan to write the story of "Dragon Five", or I might write the Russian auction part depending on the situation, and help Lu Mingfei rescue his mother.
The original outline included a section on prominent domestic families, and I even laid some groundwork for it in the main text. However, entire sections were cut, and then another large section was removed by the 'Green Project,' so I simply gave up on writing it. Constantly editing and deleting parts to appease the censors really affected my writing mood. (This particular paragraph, which has no plot whatsoever and is merely explanatory, was also cut by the 'Green Project.' I really don't understand why this paragraph needed to be cut.)
The ending was actually planned from the beginning. Initially, I intended to write 600,000 words and just copy the book to end it, but once I started writing, I wanted to write some everyday scenes to practice. Seeing everyone's feedback, I found that some of the everyday scenes were written quite well, and I felt a little proud to receive everyone's affirmation.
In short, thank you all for your support. Although there aren't many people supporting me, and the number of subscribers for the latest chapter is only in the single digits, I'm already very satisfied that there are people reading along with me.
The final story will begin with everyday life.
Chapter 521 Lotus in the Mountains
The third day after Tokyo sank.
Tochigi Prefecture is located in northern Tokyo. It has a large area of forest and is sparsely populated.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Su Xiaoqiang rubbed her sleepy eyes, stretched her white arm out from under the covers, and fumbled to turn off her phone alarm.
It's quite cold in the mountains in the morning, so she lingered in bed for another ten minutes before finally getting up to brush her teeth and wash her face by herself.
Zhou Xinqing and Tang Shishi returned to China yesterday, so now only she and Zhang Qiong live in this courtyard. This courtyard is a self-built house in the countryside, three stories high, with a classic Japanese layout.
She was supposed to return to China yesterday, but Gu Ran hadn't had time since the matter was over and there was still a lot of follow-up work to do, but she really wanted to see him.
Since it's the weekend and there are no classes at school, I'll stay in Japan for a couple more days. Gu Ran said he'll be free to come visit her tonight.
Although Gu Ran said that he was not injured in the turmoil a few days ago and that all his parts were fine, Su Xiaoqiang still wanted to see him with her own eyes to put her mind at ease.
After brushing her teeth and washing her face, she went to the living room and found that Zhang Qiong had already prepared breakfast for her: whole wheat bread, fried eggs, bacon, and pure milk kept warm in hot water.
Her future mother-in-law doted on her, so she wasn't worried about any conflicts between them.
Zhang Qiong also left her a note saying that she had gone hunting in the mountains and would probably be back in the afternoon. She told Su Xiaoqiang to remember to bring a gun if she went into the wild, as there were bears in the forest.
On the table was a 1911 pistol with two magazines on it, one containing armor-piercing rounds and the other containing Frigga rounds.
Su Xiaoqiang understood what her future mother-in-law meant; she was letting her decide which bullet to use based on the situation. These days, she had nothing to do in the mountains, so Zhang Qiong had been taking her to practice shooting.
Honestly, she never imagined that one day she would be so proficient with firearms.
I was only halfway through breakfast when a childish voice called out from outside the yard in Chinese: "Sister Xiaoqiang, Sister Xiaoqiang, are you up? I've come to play with you!"
Su Xiaoqiang peeked out from the side and saw a six-year-old girl with pigtails. The little girl was wearing a long-sleeved light yellow pullover sweatshirt, denim overalls, and black high-top canvas boots.
(Enisha, in Japanese architecture, there is a wooden corridor outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the living room on the first floor that connects to the side yard. For example, in Shin-chan's house, it is the place outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of Shin-chan's living room where he can sit and play with Shiro.)
"I'm having breakfast. Lianhua, have you eaten yet?"
"I've already eaten, and I even brought my lunchbox." The little girl, Lianhua, with two red ribbons tied in her pigtails, skipped and hopped to Su Xiaoqiang's side. Children like to skip when they walk, and she was no exception.
She held an insect net and a box of insects in her left hand, and a rather heavy-looking food container in her right basket.
"Oh, it must be heavy." Su Xiaoqiang quickly put on the wooden clogs on the outside of the side and took the food box from her.
"This is the lunchbox we're going to have for lunch. My sister made it for me," Lianhua said, sitting by the window.
"Wait five minutes for me, I'll finish eating soon."
"it is good."
Su Xiaoqiang quickly finished her breakfast, then put all the tableware in the kitchen sink to soak. She then went back to her bedroom to change into a black hoodie and jeans, put on her Martin boots, and finally took the handgun she used for self-defense.
"Alright, let's go!" Su Xiaoqiang said as she went out after changing her clothes.
"Sister, we also need to bring a picnic mat, we agreed on it last night."
"Oh, right, right, I forgot." Su Xiaoqiang took the picnic mat from the cabinet in the entryway, thought for a moment, and then took a backpack, planning to put Lianhua's bento in it and carry it with her.
I made a promise with this little girl last night that we would go to the forest to catch bugs and play together.
This is the private land of the Liu family of Sanyang in Japan. The people living here are all descendants of the Liu family and they all speak Chinese.
When Lianhua saw Su Xiaoqiang, she stared at her with her big, adorable eyes, and her first question was, "Sister, are you a big star? You're so beautiful!"
Su Xiaoqiang was delighted by the little girl's compliments, so she gave her a small doll she had bought at Disneyland. The next day, the little girl gave Su Xiaoqiang a bunch of colorful wildflowers she had picked in the wild.
Over time, they became acquainted. The little girl clung to Su Xiaoqiang and loved playing with the pretty older sister.
Perhaps, the love of beauty is human nature.
The two of them went out hand in hand.
The air in the mountains and forests is very fresh. It had been raining for the past few days, but now the weather has been sunny for several days. Fortunately, it is still late spring and the temperature is not too hot, so it is a good time to go out for a spring outing.
Lianhua was clearly in a good mood, skipping ahead to lead the way, glancing back at Su Xiaoqiang as she ran. Sometimes she would stop to look at the insects by the roadside, or pick up a few interesting stones, occasionally chasing butterflies and playing around, just like a curious and lively little cat.
Children of this age are curious about everything in the outside world. In their eyes, the world is different every day, so there are always all sorts of new and interesting things in their world.
As Lianhua ran, a loud bell jingled beside her. It was a bear-avoidance bell carried by the mountain people. Bears have more acute hearing than humans, and the sound of this bell could reach their ears from a great distance, making them uncomfortable and causing them to stay away.
The forest was about two kilometers from the main road, requiring crossing several fields and a stream. Lianhua seemed to have found something interesting by the stream and squatted down, searching for something.
Su Xiaoqiang followed behind her, looking at her crouching figure with a smile, and asked, "What fun thing did you see this time?"
"There are cute little animals."
What animal is it?
"frog."
Su Xiaoqiang thought the frog was indeed quite cute: "Frog, it really is quite cute, let your sister see it..."
When Lianhua heard her sister say that, she put her two chubby white hands under the frog's armpits and lifted the frog up for Su Xiaoqiang to see.
"Holy crap!" Su Xiaoqiang was startled when she saw the frog being held up and handed to her, and she involuntarily took a step back. "This...is this a frog? It's as big as a 6-inch screen phone!"
Su Xiaoqiang thought it was the small green tree frog he usually saw, but the frog in Lianhua's hand was dark green all over, a size larger than a bullfrog, and looked like a toad.
"Get rid of it quickly! Get rid of it quickly! Is this a toad?!" Su Xiaoqiang hurriedly told Lianhua to throw it away.
“It’s not a toad. Toads don’t have such smooth backs. This is an African box frog. There’s a breeding farm in our village, and this one must have escaped from there.” Lianhua, having grown up in the countryside, had seen far more of the world than Su Xiaoqiang, a child raised in the city.
She held the frog up high and asked Su Xiaoqiang, "Sister, do you want this frog? The breeder said you can take it home if you catch it in the wild!"
"No, no, please... I don't really like this kind of thing... Why don't you put this big frog on the ground first?" Su Xiaoqiang looked at the African frog's belly, which was still puffed up with anger, and its back was covered with strange slime, like a slug.
“Okay, I’ll put it on the ground and teach the frog to walk.” Lianhua held the frog’s front legs with both hands, just like she was teaching a puppy to walk upright, so that its hind legs would stand on the ground and move forward.
"Lianhua...you don't need to be so enthusiastic about teaching it to walk." Su Xiaoqiang covered her face, both amused and exasperated.
"How about I give it a name? How about 'Pork Belly'?"
"There's no need to be so close to it..."
The big frog, led by Lianhua, took a couple of steps along the road, then seemed to be stimulated by something and started urinating...
He even peed on Su Xiaoqiang's shoes...
"Aaaaaah!" Su Xiaoqiang screamed a few times and actually jumped up and took a step back. Luckily, she was wearing leather boots, otherwise, her wet feet would have been disgusting!
"Lianhua, how about we release the frog?" Su Xiaoqiang said in a pleading tone.
Lianhua also discovered that her older sister really didn't like frogs, so she obediently put the African box frog back into the river.
Seeing the big frog splashing away in the river, Su Xiaoqiang finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then, thinking about how scared she had been just now, she found it funny. If Gu Ran knew, who knows how much he would laugh at her.
"I absolutely cannot tell him about this," Su Xiaoqiang silently vowed to herself.
But suddenly she seemed to have a feeling that Gu Ran was watching her from not far away.
So she turned around and looked around, but saw nothing.
"What's wrong, sister?"
"It's nothing... Come on, Lianhua, wash your hands first." Su Xiaoqiang didn't see Gu Ran, she only saw the frog leave.
So he squatted by the stream and helped Lianhua wash the frog slime off her hands.
Then Su Xiaoqiang took Lianhua's hand and walked with her to prevent her from picking up random things again.
If you happen to find a snake... those things are scarier than frogs.
Fortunately, Lianhua stopped causing trouble after that, because they entered the forest.
The forest was very dense, and Lianhua was taught by her family from a young age not to run around and to stay with adults, otherwise she would easily get lost.
So she stayed by Su Xiaoqiang's side the whole time, in case her older sister got lost.
That's right, the one who needs to be protected from getting lost in these mountains is not Lianhua, but Su Xiaoqiang. In Lianhua's opinion, if this young lady from the city gets lost in the forest, she might starve to death.
"Sister, you must not stray too far from me!" Lianhua added.
"Yes, yes, I understand." Su Xiaoqiang smiled and rubbed Lianhua's little head.
But after walking a few steps, Lianhua stopped under a tree: "Sister, look! There's a hole here!"
"There might be snakes in the cave..." Su Xiaoqiang muttered to herself, still feeling uneasy about the big frog she had just encountered.
"No!" Lianhua took out the water bottle she carried with her, poured about half a bottle of water into the cave, and then waited quietly.
After a while, a strange, large insect suddenly crawled out from under the burrow.
Chapter 522 Don't Ignore Me
"What is this?" Su Xiaoqiang looked at her in confusion.
"This is a cicada nymph, the young form of a cicada." Lianhua picked up the cicada nymph and held it up in front of Su Xiaoqiang.
"Oh... these are cicada nymphs." Su Xiaoqiang had heard of them before. "They can catch cicada nymphs in May? Shouldn't it be in the height of summer?"
