Truth is everywhere within range

Hawaii at night is calm.

No one could see that just a few dozen minutes ago, this place was shrouded in dark clouds and plunged into doom.

Communications were restored twenty minutes ago, the network five minutes ago.

Several news items popped up on Qiao Qiao's cell phone, all about storms that suddenly appeared and then disappeared in the Pacific Ocean.

The aftermath is still ongoing.

Let’s not talk about people like Boss Cheng who were involved in a car accident during the storm.

There are also many citizens who have encountered accidents due to power outages, network interruptions, strong winds, etc.

After Qiao Qiao rescued the hostages in the villa, he contacted He Maoming and the local church. When everything was settled and he returned to the hotel, it was already twelve o'clock in the night.

".It looks like I won't be able to sleep well tonight."

Ariko Asano looked at the half-destroyed hotel and didn't know what expression to use.

"The typhoon is really powerful."

Boss Cheng looked at his house slightly bitterly.

No, actually it was not a typhoon.

Ariko Asano explained in her heart.

It is estimated that at least one-third, no, maybe two-thirds of the damage to this hotel was due to the teacher's trap.

It's better not to tell Boss Cheng.

"Fortunately, I have always bought insurance, but after all this trouble, I will probably have to bleed heavily in the future."

Boss Cheng lamented.

"Mr. Qiao, Miss Asano, your room has been destroyed. I only have the previous room that is under renovation. Do you want to move there? Well, although the beach is gone, at least the house can still be used." Live with people.”

he asked again.

"Okay, okay."

Ariko Asano agreed immediately.

After working for a while, they moved the remaining luggage to the next room.

The layout here is almost exactly the same as the original house, but because Boss Cheng has no extra temporary beds, there is only one bed in the room.

A bed!

Ariko Asano suddenly blushed.

"It's okay, I can sleep on the sofa."

Qiao Qiao put down his luggage.

"Honestly, I was already prepared to lay the floor tonight. It's unexpected to have a room."

He turned on the computer in the room and seemed to be searching for something.

"Then, I'm going to take a shower first."

Ariko Asano did not disturb Qiao Qiao and entered the bathroom instead.

The hot water soaked her body and relieved her fatigue. Asano Ariko only left her head floating on the water and closed her eyes, trying to relax her mind.

What happened today was so bizarre.

Sudden storms, monsters crawling out of the sea, and...

Ariko Asano felt a little dizzy.

Maybe it's because I took a bath for too long.

She put on her bathrobe and walked out of the bathroom. She saw Qiao Qiao typing on the keyboard seriously, as if he was writing some report.

The teacher is really hardworking.

Ariko Asano did not disturb Qiao Qiao, but lay on the bed and played with her mobile phone.

Twitter is full of news about Hawaii. Some research institutions say this is a rare tropical storm, perhaps some kind of special meteorological phenomenon.

Some people also claimed to have seen huge monsters in the stormy clouds. Of course, because the Internet and communications in Hawaii were cut off at the time, there was no real-time evidence. Judging from the videos uploaded on the video website, it was completely Can't see any problem.

As for the spiritual master, the news is obviously more accurate.

According to the information obtained by Ariko Asano, what appeared today was a strange thing that was not registered in the records of the Spirit Exterminator Association. It was classified according to its influence and the level of spiritual power detected at the time, and was classified as a monster.

Based on discussions between Onnyangliao and several major shrines, it is tentatively believed that this incident was caused by a certain monster that had been sealed by its own kind in the past trying to break free.

And the ray of light falling from the sky that Ariko Asano could not witness with her own eyes came from Ise Shrine.

The priestess of Ise Shrine, the shrine maiden of the Mirror Realm, is known as the one who visits the gods in the circle of spiritual slayers of Japan.

She only had one arrow.

A distance of more than six thousand kilometers was covered.

Kill the big monster that has half of the seal unlocked.

Incidentally, the entire Hawaiian Islands were purified.

Ariko Asano has never met the other party, but in her imagination, he should be a majestic miko-sama.

Playing with her mobile phone, Asano Ariko soon fell asleep to the sound of Qiao Qiao's increasingly lighter keyboard tapping.

Two o'clock in the evening.

Qiao Qiao stopped what he was doing, stood up and glanced at Asano Ariko.

This child's sleep was worse than Suzuka's.

Qiao Qiao helped Asano Ariko cover herself with a quilt.

Feeling something in his heart, he turned his head and looked at the floor-to-ceiling windows with the curtains drawn.

Opening the curtains, you can see a calico cat squatting outside the door.

The starlight shines on its pupils, glowing green.

Qiao Qiao opened the French window and came outside.

".You are not an ordinary cat, right?"

Qiao Qiao looked at the Milky Way in the sky and said to the cat beside him.

"That depends on how you define ordinary."

The cat remained motionless, but a voice came from its mouth.

The voice could not tell the difference between male, female, old or young, and the language it used was not even any language Qiao Qiao understood.

But the meaning can be conveyed clearly.

"I'm surprised you were neither influenced by me to forget the incident nor reported my presence to your people."

Cat said again.

"Based on what I saw at the time, I think it was reasonable not to report it."

Qiao Qiao answered.

"You made the right judgment, which at least saved your life. As for that little girl, I don't like her."

The cat licked its paws, but no emotion could be heard in its words.

"So, you're some kind of, um, as we call it, weird?"

"You can call it that."

The cat sat down.

"In that era before humans appeared, we were the masters of the sky, the earth and the sea."

"Among us, there are some beings who have transcended the shackles and seen things that have never been discovered in the past. Of course, the subsequent war destroyed everything. Some guys were completely killed, some guys were completely sealed, and some , like me, we transform our existence and continue to live in this world.”

"You mean, turn into a cat?"

Qiao Qiao looked at this slightly obese cat.

"I thought you understood."

The cat yawned.

"It's just a joke, please don't mind."

Qiao Qiao smiled.

"So a year ago, it was you too?"

He remembered what Akira Kamo once said. A year ago, there were reports of sightings of giant creatures in Hawaii. Since then, there have been fewer weird incidents near Hawaii.

"It was a war and all you could see was the bare minimum."

"So you lost?"

"No, I won."

The cat's tail swayed.

"Although I won, I was also extremely fragile and on the verge of death."

It narrowed its eyes slightly.

"That's when Sakura picked me up."

"Maybe I was just an abandoned kitten, but she did take me home, take good care of me, and treat me as a member of the family. That family were all good people. Even though I have witnessed the rise and fall of countless civilizations, I still To be able to say this.”

"Heh, you know, for existences like us, the concept of family is really ridiculous."

"But I quite like this word, it's very warm."

After hearing what the cat said, Qiao Qiao was silent for a moment.

"So in order to protect Sakura, you killed all the believers in that villa? Have you done something similar before?"

"My existence far exceeds the history that you can recognize, and her lifespan of only a few decades is just an insignificant moment in a long life to me."

The cat looked at the Milky Way and said again.

"So I am willing to stay by her side and protect her for the rest of my life. It's that simple."
