Chapter 174 Lies don't hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife.
"Your Excellency, you are indeed a man of few words..." Iida Iryu smiled bitterly.
He chose to suppress and seal the opponent because he was unable to truly eliminate them.
Lin Yeming broke the awkward silence by asking, "So, the monster here is a white fox demon?"
Jingtian Jinglong shook his head, then nodded.
Seeing the other person's puzzled look, he explained, "Not entirely. There are both demons and ghosts here."
But when he gave this explanation, there was a hint of nostalgia and sadness in his eyes.
Lin Yeming immediately realized that this guy must have a story.
But he searched his memory thoroughly and found no recollection of this place.
He had heard before that many settings and stories in Ultraman Tiga were cut...
If we think about it this way, the original work cannot be completely relied upon for some of the anomalies he encountered.
This is something we must remember; be careful, even if it's just a little bit.
Lin Yeming had a general idea of the situation; it seemed that the current situation was more complicated than he had imagined.
He looked up into the depths of the forest, where the stench of blood was emanating.
His life level has reached Grade A, and his senses have become more acute.
Unfortunately, he didn't have X-ray vision... so he couldn't see through the illusions inside.
"In that case, let's go in." Lin Yeming took the lead and stepped into the forest.
Jingtian Jinglong quickly followed and whispered a reminder: "Be careful. After that guy has consumed blood, his abilities will slowly awaken. He might not be easy to deal with."
“If the evil spirit is a tiger, then the trees imbued with its aura are its accomplices.”
Hearing this, Lin Yeming found it hard to remain calm.
What kind of "grandmother" setting is this...?
As the two ventured deeper into the forest, the stench of blood grew stronger, and the atmosphere around them became increasingly oppressive.
Suddenly, a low, labored breathing sound came from ahead.
Lin Yeming looked over and saw a younger version of Jing Tianjinglong lying on the ground.
Lin Yeming subconsciously clenched his fist, his eyes warily fixed on the seemingly young Jing Tianjinglong in front of him.
Ida Iryu himself was also astonished. He slowly walked forward, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
"This...this is what I looked like when I was young? But why am I here?"
The younger version of Ida Iryu had his eyes closed, his brows furrowed, and he occasionally uttered painful murmurs.
Lin Yeming crouched down, wanting to check the situation, but couldn't touch the other person the moment he got close.
At that moment, the appearance of a woman made him wary.
He glanced at Ida Iryu subconsciously, only to find that the nostalgic expression on the other's face was even more pronounced.
The woman had long, jet-black hair and snow-white skin, but her face, which should have been captivating, showed a look of loneliness and seemed to contain deep pain.
The woman rescued the young Ida Iryu after he fell unconscious and took him back to her residence.
At this point, Ida Iryu explained, "After that, I had a dream, and that dream woke me up."
"That was a promise, a promise with Sukuna-ki. If he were to reappear in the human world and commit evil, I would continue to fulfill my duty as always."
"It's fortunate that you were able to completely eliminate him."
Lin Yeming nodded and continued reading.
The subsequent developments were clichéd, but also quite reasonable.
When Ida Iryu was on the verge of death, he was saved by a nine-tailed fox demon and learned of her request.
The nine-tailed fox demon begged Ida Iryu to end her life with that knife.
Because the other party's health is not yet fully recovered, this agreement can only be made for now.
As time went by, the bond between the human and the demon grew stronger, to the point that Jing Tianjinglong couldn't bear to kill him, leaving only the hairpin imbued with his magic.
After finally releasing her daughter's soul, she revealed her purpose: to find a heinous sorcerer.
The man had an eye growing from his palm.
