187: The simple and honest city of Ryan, the murderer

"Source-kun, is this knife your weapon?" Shingu Yu asked. Jiang Yuan snapped back to reality and smiled, "Yes." Shingu Yu praised, "So beautiful." Yamashita Tetsuya: "Are you a Swordsman?" "I..." Jiang Yuan glanced at the katana on his waist and smiled, "You could say so." The Martial God class has no weapon restrictions; any weapon can be used.

He remembered something.

Jiang Yuan looked at Shingu Yu, "Oh, right."

"Yu-san... can I call you that?" Yamashita Tetsuya's eyes widened.

He actually called Shingu-san by her first name. He had known her for so long and never done that.

Shingu Yu's cheeks were slightly red, feeling a mix of joy and shyness, and she nodded, "Mm..."

"Last time you said your talent couldn't be used, do you know the name of your talent?"

Shingu Yu nodded, "I do."

"I only know its name is 【Ame no Minaka】, as for what type of talent it is, I don't know, and I have no idea how to use it."

"【Ame no Minaka】..." Jiang Yuan's eyes flickered slightly.

Yamashita Tetsuya: "It sounds like power from mythology. If you could use it, it would definitely be amazing."

Shingu Yu sighed, "That's why it's frustrating that I can't use it."

"And I don't have much talent for cultivating Qi and blood, and I'm also very clumsy in martial arts..."

"That's not true, you just haven't opened your Tips yet."

Yamashita Tetsuya comforted.

"Thank you." Shingu Yu said, looking at Jiang Yuan.

"Source-kun, speaking of which, have you found a place to live yet?"

"Yes. I'm temporarily staying at a friend's house."

"That's good..." Shingu Yu had just finished speaking.

Suddenly, a female voice sounded from the left.

"Shingu-san?" Shingu Yu turned her head to look.

A young beauty wearing a floral long dress, an elegant top, and a fresh and dignified appearance was standing by the roadside, holding vegetables, looking at her with some surprise.

"You are... Tanaka-sensei?" Shingu Yu said in surprise.

"It really is Shingu-san, I thought it looked like you, long time no see." The young beauty smiled.

"It seems like we haven't seen each other since junior high graduation, Sensei, why are you here?!"

"Why... Because I was transferred here, with my fiancé." Tanaka Yumi smiled.

Shingu Yu then noticed the ring on her ring finger, "Sensei, you're engaged, congratulations."

"Thank you, and these two are...?" Tanaka Yumi looked at Jiang Yuan and Yamashita Tetsuya, her gaze towards Jiang Yuan carrying a hint of peculiarity and amazement.

Shingu Yu gave a simple introduction.

Tanaka Yumi smiled, "Nice to meet you, I'm Shingu-san's junior high Teacher, Tanaka Yumi."

What a beautiful female Teacher... Yamashita Tetsuya thought to himself.

Jiang Yuan smiled, "Hello."

Interesting.

"I still have to go home and cook, so I'll be leaving now, see you next time, Shingu-san."

"Goodbye, Sensei."

As Tanaka Yumi passed by Yamashita Tetsuya.

He smelled a strange stench and frowned slightly.

Shingu Yu sighed, "The world is really small, I never expected to meet my junior high Teacher from Tokyo after coming to this Artificial Island. Tanaka-sensei is still as beautiful as before..."

"Beautiful... is she?" Jiang Yuan said with a hint of deeper meaning, "Yu-san, I advise you not to have any more contact with her."

Shingu Yu was puzzled, "Why?"

Yamashita Tetsuya also looked at Jiang Yuan.

"Because..." Jiang Yuan took two steps forward, glanced sideways at the two and smiled, "She's already dead."

Shingu Yu froze for two seconds, not reacting.

"...Eh?"

Yamashita Tetsuya: "What are you talking about? She clearly..."

He suddenly froze, remembering that inexplicable stench.

"That's the smell of a corpse, you smelled it too, right?" Jiang Yuan said with his hands in his pockets.

Yamashita Tetsuya's pupils trembled slightly.

Shingu Yu couldn't believe it, "You, what are you talking about? Tanaka-sensei died, died?! But she was just talking to us..."

Jiang Yuan's eyes were deep as he said, "That's just a walking corpse with memories. If I'm not mistaken, the culprit who killed her is her fiancé. The engagement ring is emitting vitality and illusion that sustains her activity, making her forget the reality of her death and continue living according to her original trajectory, but I don't think it will last long..."

"How could this happen..." Shingu Yu murmured, her face pale.

Jiang Yuan turned his head to look in the direction Tanaka Yumi had left, "Someone who can pull off such a trick must be a mental-type Martial Artist skilled in Souls and illusions, at least fifth order or higher."

The moment Jiang Yuan finished speaking.

Suddenly.

A horrified scream came from not far away.

"Ah--!!"

Several people turned their heads to look.

A middle-aged woman stood at the alley entrance, her expression extremely terrified.

The next instant.

"Swish!"

A black light rushed out of the alley, slicing across the necks and bodies of her and several other passersby.

"Puff!"

The heads of several people flew up, blood gushing out, their bodies instantly becoming scattered like puppets.

The black light landed on a street lamp post, revealing a short figure, wrapped in a black robe, holding a dripping cold blade in his reversed hand.

"Killing Demon, it's the Killing Demon!" A passerby in the distance cried out in terror.

Shingu Yu also covered her mouth in fear, "Could, could it be the serial Killing Demon from the rumors?!"

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

"First, the Crown Position Battle that encourages teenagers to kill each other."

"Then, a bizarre mental-type Martial Artist who manipulates his fiancée's corpse."

"And then, a serial Killing Demon."

This Artificial City 【Laine】 is truly... rustic and simple in its customs."

The Killing Demon noticed the several people and turned his head to look.

Seeing those scarlet eyes full of Killing Intent.

Shingu Yu's pupils trembled violently, her face deathly pale!

"Swish!!"

The Killing Demon turned into a black light and rushed towards Jiang Yuan and the others at an extremely fast speed.

Less than half a second!

No time to react!

The bloody Killing Demon was already in front of them.

"!"

Shingu Yu, who wasn't even a Martial Artist, was instantly intimidated by the overwhelming Killing Intent and tilted to the side, fainting in Jiang Yuan's arms.

"Swish!"

The blade in the black figure's hand swung down.

Seeing that Jiang Yuan had no intention of making a move.

"Damn it."

Yamashita Tetsuya cursed in his heart, but still couldn't help but make a move.

He instantly flashed forward, his right hand forming a fist, and a broken sword instantly appeared in his hand.

He swung his sword.

"Clang!"

Accompanied by the clear and loud sound of metal clashing.

A wave of air spread out.

"Clang clang clang clang clang!!"

The Killing Demon's arm swung, delivering hundreds of slashes in an instant with astonishing attack speed, so fast that only countless afterimages could be seen.

But all the attacks were blocked by Yamashita Tetsuya using the same technique!

"Clang--!"

The sharp blade held in the Killing Demon's reversed hand was blocked by the broken sword, and a hint of surprise flashed in his scarlet eyes.

Yamashita Tetsuya's eyes flickered with a strange amber light.

In the end, it was exposed...

Jiang Yuan's voice sounded behind him, "Amazing, Yamashita-san, my guess was right, you are indeed a third order."

Yamashita Tetsuya glanced sideways at him, "Who exactly are you?! What is your purpose?"

【You have been selected as the second opponent for the Crown Position Battle, Puppeteer - Sato Ken, Three Stars】

Jiang Yuan's mouth curled up, "Then I'll leave this place to you, I have something else to do, so I'll take Yu-san and leave first."

Seeing him pick up Shingu Yu and turn to leave.

Yamashita Tetsuya was stunned, then couldn't help but curse in his heart.
