Chapter 220: Possibilities "Indeed, according to the current available information, Eldritch God Taketori should only be able to possess Mian Gu Lu. We have to wait for a few days until the solar eclipse, at which point the world will plunge into darkness, allowing Eldritch God Taketori to be truly born into this world. So, logically speaking, if we kill Mian Gu Lu before that, Eldritch God Taketori will also perish along with her," Liu Xing nodded, speaking. Yin En sighed and tapped his fingers on the car window, saying helplessly, "Liu Xing, what do you think now? What if we can't eliminate or expel Eldritch God Taketori from Mian Gu Lu's body? Should we really let Sawada Tsuo kill Mian Gu Lu?" Liu Xing fell silent for a moment, but eventually nodded seriously, "It seems that's the only option. After all, if it comes to that, we'll have to sacrifice Mian Gu Lu to save the world, even though... well..."New novel chapters are published on The atmosphere in the car grew heavy. "Anyway, when the time comes, we can only do that. We can't let the whole world suffer for the sake of a woman, especially when, to put it bluntly, Mian Gu Lu is not one of us," Yin En spoke. Liu Xing agreed with Yin En's words. While Mian Gu Lu appeared to be similar to ordinary humans, she was still a member of the Yis People, and while the Yis People didn't have ill intentions towards humans, they couldn't be allies either. "Alright, since that's the case, let's gather everyone when we arrive at the villa and hold an internal vote on what to do if Sawada Tsuo really wants to kill Mian Gu Lu. This way, we can avoid unexpected situations and potential backlash," Liu Xing suggested. Yin En understood Liu Xing's point and nodded, saying, "OK, I'll definitely support your stance when the time comes. But I believe Gu Jun and the others are reasonable and understand that, given the current situation, we don't have much assurance of escaping with Mian Gu Lu." At this point, Liu Xing had already driven to the outskirts of the Sawada Family's villa and was stopped by a makeshift checkpoint. Looking at the heavily armed private security guards, or mercenaries recruited by Sawada Tsuo, Liu Xing had to admit that trying to leave with Mian Gu Lu from this place was an impossible mission. Yin En got out of the car and showed a card to the mercenary at the checkpoint, who then nodded and allowed the car to pass. "It seems that Sawada Tsuo is indeed a cunning fox. He only gave me one access card, and at the time, he said it was because he had only one access card. I actually believed it. Now it's clear that Sawada Tsuo wants to indirectly confine us here, preventing us from freely entering and leaving. After all, if we try to leave altogether, those guards at the checkpoints will surely find excuses to stop us. If we attempt to leave in small groups, I'll have to take them one by one, and that would raise suspicions. Then the remaining people would become hostages in Sawada Tsuo's hands," Yin En put the card back into his bag, frustrated. Liu Xing nodded, recognizing that Yin En's analysis was accurate. If Sawada Tsuo provided only one access card, it would make it even more challenging for the players to leave the villa area with Mian Gu Lu. Furthermore, Liu Xing noticed that there were numerous surveillance cameras along the way, including some hidden in the trees on both sides of the road. There seemed to be no escape from the watchful eyes of these high-quality cameras. "Liu Xing, have you also noticed that there are a lot of surveillance cameras along this road? There are even many in the woods on both sides of the road. It's almost like 360 degrees of coverage, and if I'm not mistaken, these surveillance cameras should be the best ones available on the market. They have high resolution and even night vision capabilities. So, sneaking away under cover of darkness is out of the question," Yin En remarked. Upon hearing this, Liu Xing sighed helplessly, unsure of what to say. Yin En also realized that he had led the team into a difficult situation and felt embarrassed as he said, "Well, this is my fault. I didn't fully understand the situation and accepted Sawada Tsuo's invitation without knowing better, bringing Mian Gu Lu here." "My goodness, this technique is incredible. But why didn't King Tindalos use it to unify the Island Nation back then?" Yasaka Mashiro asked in astonishment. Gu Jun chuckled and explained, "Because this technique has very strict requirements. The formula must be precise down to specific units, and many materials in the formula are extremely rare. Even King Tindalos only managed to create a little over a hundred doses of the elixir. Moreover, only King Tindalos knew the formula. So, when King Tindalos disappeared, the formula was lost as well. However, based on Kuroba Naoki's investigation, King Tindalos only used about fifty of those doses, leaving over fifty doses unaccounted for. It's highly likely that Honda Koichi got his hands on one of those doses, and now he's trying to decipher the formula." Liu Xing nodded and rubbed his chin, saying, "In that case, Honda Koichi's progress in deciphering the formula should be quite advanced. If the Dark Willow Gang uses this elixir to create a group of superhuman monsters, they could potentially bypass Sawada Family's defenses and forcibly capture Mian Gu Lu." Gu Jun smiled and confirmed, "That's very likely because Hisanobu Ito is running out of time. To obtain what he calls the 'blood of the gods' from Mian Gu Lu, even if the formula isn't fully deciphered, Mikageichi will undoubtedly demand that Honda Koichi produce a batch of monsters. Let's not forget that the Ghoul clan has dug an extensive network of underground tunnels in Ziwu City, and we may be standing on one right now. So, I believe there's a strong possibility that the Dark Willow Gang will launch a surprise attack through these tunnels. At that point, Sawada Family's perimeter defenses will become ineffective, and Dark Willow Gang's chances of defeating Sawada Family will be around seventy percent!" Yin En furrowed his brow and suggested, "Should I inform Sawada Tsuo in advance and prepare for a possible Dark Willow Gang assault?" Liu Xing shook his head and offered his opinion, "Maybe we can take advantage of their internal conflict and try to escape during the chaos?" Unexpectedly, Yin En, who had been on Liu Xing's side until now, changed his stance, "That won't work. If the Dark Willow Gang does launch an attack on Sawada Family, they will surely suffer heavy casualties, and there's even a possibility of their entire clan being wiped out. Although I'm not a fan of Sawada Tsuo's scheming, he is still my father-in-law. I can't just stand by and do nothing." The group fell into silence once again, as Yin En's reasoning was sound. Yasaka Mashiro then spoke up, "KP, it's time to activate the Private Room." KP Li Shunchan promptly responded, "OK, Private Room is now active. You can start your discussion." With that, Yin En quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, everyone. It was my misjudgment that led us into this dilemma." Yoh Asakura shook his head and said with a smile, "It's not your fault. After all, who would have known that Sawada Tsuo was this kind of person? If anyone is to blame, it's us for not knowing enough about Sawada Tsuo or gathering information about him before. But sometimes, fortune favors the bold. Being here in Sawada Family's territory might not be a bad thing. After all, if Dark Willow Gang attacks Chen Wenbin's home, we would be completely defenseless." Gu Jun nodded and added, "Although Otonashi Takuya is quite formidable, I believe Mikageichi could handle him in a one-on-one fight. Additionally, Kojima Kanto from Dark Willow Gang could likely take on both Yin En and Yoh Asakura simultaneously. So, how many of us could handle Dark Willow Gang's ordinary members? Not to mention they probably have several capable leaders. Most importantly, if Honda Koichi joins the battle with his Ghoul subordinates, we would surely be doomed. The best-case scenario would be Mian Gu Lu getting captured, and the worst-case scenario would be all of us getting wiped out." Liu Xing shrugged, appearing resigned as he said, "Ah, the current plot has taken a turn for the worse. I had originally planned to launch a direct assault on the Dark Willow Gang's underground casino with Aoki and the others, hoping to eliminate Honda Koichi. But now, we're trapped here. It seems we may not be able to continue the Ghoul storyline, especially since we're on Sawada Family's turf." Suddenly, Yin En slapped his thigh and said with a smile, "I almost forgot about this. I can try to convince Sawada Tsuo to invite Kanna Ryoko out of seclusion. After all, Kanna Ryoko can now leave the Godless Shrine. With Kanna Ryoko's help, we might have a chance to defeat the Dark Willow Gang and possibly remove Eldritch God Taketori's possession!" Gu Jun nodded at first, then shook his head, saying, "Yin En, Wizard's combat abilities are not as strong as you think. So, I believe Kanna Ryoko's combat strength should be on par with Otonashi Takuya's, and her impact on the battle would be average at best." [Read /maxnkoga , without ads and support the work.]
