452: Who is it?
White T-shirt, jeans, Nike logo!
And that strange doll keychain and the familiar hundred-yuan bill...
Upon seeing and hearing these things, Tang Ku even thought he had Transmigrated back!
That's right, what was drawn on that paper was none other than the legendary Nike logo, wasn't it? And the strange attire described by the magistrate—wasn't it the shape of a white T-shirt and jeans?
Could it be that another fellow countryman has Transmigrated here?
Hmm, although this Great Tang seems to be his true home, and the Western Heaven here is his maternal home, Tang Ku still had a deep attachment to the world where he had lived for decades.
Now, whether the other party is friend or foe is not important; what matters is that the guy must have come from that world, or if not, from a nearly identical world. Otherwise, Tang Ku wouldn't be seeing these things.
Furthermore, judging by the other party's demeanor, he basically belongs to the relatively kind type. As for who that bald monk is and why he is hunting him down, that is another matter entirely.
"Let's go, let's go over there and take a look..."
Tang Ku grabbed Di Renjie, soared into the air, and flew towards the mountain. The Brick above his head watched for a long while before following closely behind.
On that mountain, some kind of power had created a huge circular crater with a diameter of over thirty meters. If his guess was correct, one of the two must possess some kind of long-range striking ability, and this method of attack was like some kind of high-energy laser, capable of blasting the mountainside into a condition as smooth as a mirror.
Tang Ku already felt a little worried about that fellow countryman he had yet to meet.
"Mentor, did you discover something?"
Di Renjie looked at the huge crater and frowned slightly, "You recognize what those things are, right? Is it some formidable enemy? Do you need to call for reinforcements?"
Seeing that Tang Ku seemed a bit nervous, he hurriedly pressed for an answer.
"Rest assured, I am certain that the young man in white is not a bad person. As for the other one, that's hard to say!"
Tang Ku immediately activated his Spiritual Awareness Microscopic and took a look towards the mountain. He was instantly shocked and thought to himself: "Is this the Vajra Zen Skill? Hmm, no, it's different from the Vajra Zen Skill I am familiar with. Could this be the complete version of the Cultivation Technique? Hmm, no, my improved Vajra Zen Skill is stronger than this technique... Then, is this another version from a different world?"
Di Renjie carefully examined the surrounding situation, then seemed to recall something. He gently tugged on Tang Ku's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Mentor... I have something to tell you..."
Tang Ku was slightly taken aback, then turned his head and asked, "What did you say?"
Di Renjie whispered a few words into Tang Ku's ear. Tang Ku's expression couldn't help but change, and he said in a low voice, "Are you serious?"
"Yes, serious!"
Di Renjie said in a low voice.
Tang Ku couldn't help but frown slightly: "You might not know, but my Spiritual Awareness Microscopic ability can detect any traces related to energy, yet I didn't discover anything..."
Di Renjie smiled slightly and said, "Your power is strong, and your observation skills are sharp, but when it comes to fathoming the human heart, you are still a little lacking... Just try what I said; it won't hurt anyway!"
Tang Ku suddenly laughed and said, "Alright, let's give it a try..."
Come to think of it, Tang Ku trusted Di Renjie a great deal; the reputation of this Great Tang detective had influenced almost all subsequent dynasties.
Tang Ku pressed his palms together and said to Di Renjie, "Move back a bit, so as not to get hurt by mistake..."
Di Renjie retreated as instructed, but then saw Tang Ku aim towards a certain direction on the south side of the mountain and open his mouth with a great roar,
"Boundless Guangdu Xin Buddha!"
Hum!
It seemed as if the entire mountain was trembling. Birds and beasts were startled and scurried everywhere. Even from within the blasted crater on the mountainside, buzzing sounds echoed, as if there were an echo.
Tang Ku frowned slightly, and before he could say that it was useless, a figure ran out from the deep forest, clutching their ears and stumbling. They shouted loudly, "Stop shouting, stop shouting! What are you shouting for in the middle of the day? It's not good to scare the flowers, plants, birds, beasts, and insects..."
A white T-shirt, jeans, short hair, and an impatient look on their face.
"Hehe!"
Seeing this attire, Di Renjie couldn't help but laugh and said to Tang Ku, "Mentor, look!"
Tang Ku said in surprise, "He really came out?"
The young man rolled his eyes and said, "Nonsense, if I didn't come out, my eardrums would have perforated. I say, you two are quite wicked. I was just sleeping in this mountain, and you came to disturb me. Is disturbing someone's sleep very fun?"
Looking at this brazen demeanor, which truly had some of his own flair from back in the day, Tang Ku couldn't help but smile slightly, "Let's speak plainly. Tell me, from which world and which time period did you come here? Let's have a good chat!"
"Hmm, you monk speak very strangely. What world? What time? I don't understand!"
The young man curled his lips, looking disdainful.
"..."
Tang Ku was speechless. After a few seconds, he said, "Can you stop bullshitting, for fuck's sake? With this jeans and T-shirt look, even an ordinary person can tell at a glance that there's something suspicious about you. Do you really think I don't recognize that knock-off swoosh on you? Also, how do you have Renminbi on you? And that keychain, which doll is it? Can you explain that clearly to me?"
Since you want to act brazen, I'll just do the same. Let's see who can out-act whom.
"Holy crap, I ran into a tough nut!"
The young man was suddenly shocked, "How do you know these things? And how do you know my clothes are knock-offs?"
"You didn't check when you bought them, did you? You bought them as clearance items, right? They said they were authentic... Didn't you notice this swoosh is backwards?"
Tang Ku sneered.
"You're awesome!"
The other party wasn't offended at all; instead, he laughed and said, "So you also Transmigrated from the original Universe... Uh, wait... You are a monk? You... what's your name? Are you called Tang Ku?"
"???"...
If this were any literary work, Tang Ku would definitely have this many question marks above his head.
"How do you know my name?"
Tang Ku said in a low voice. He was now suspicious that the other party had ill intentions. Otherwise, why would a Transmigrator he had never met before be able to call his name, and why would he coincidentally run into him?
The young man saw the other party's guarded appearance and couldn't help but laugh, "Don't be afraid. I was sent by my old man to help you. After all, you can't deal with it on your own... Hmm, after all, your leveling speed is still a bit too slow, which is a bit disappointing to his expectations..."
Tang Ku fell silent instantly... Listen to what he said, leveling speed? What kind of thing possesses the "leveling" function? The answer is self-evident.
He finally asked seriously, "Who... exactly are you?"
