"Gulu gulu..."
Suzuki Kimie raised her head, her throat churning with the sound of water, and she puffed up her mouth and spit on the ground. The dark ink gushed out like a wave, sweeping towards Yakushi Kabuto.
"This is really..."
The ink waves rolled and surged, transforming into a pitch-black monster that resembled a sperm whale. From both sides of its abdomen, there extended a row of huge strange feet that looked like oars or insect limbs. Its huge body almost filled the detention room.
"Ugh——!"
The ink sperm whale opened its mouth and let out a long and heavy roar like a whale song, revealing a mouthful of conical teeth, and bit over fiercely!
Faced with such a terrifying feeling of oppression, Grace's face, which had turned pale due to blood loss, now completely bloodless.
The fear of the giant whipped her soul and urged Grace to flee quickly.
But Grace gritted her teeth, controlled her weak legs, and hid behind Pharmacist Kabuto without moving.
At this point, we can only trust Mr. Pharmacist’s judgment!
"The art of golden binding!"
Pharmacist Kabuto quickly formed seals with his hands and shouted softly.
The ink sperm whale, which had opened its huge mouth to swallow Yashi Kabuto in one gulp, was trembling and froze in place.
Although the Ink Sperm Whale has a terrifying size, it is just an ink ninja beast transformed by chakra. The amount of chakra that makes up its body is far less than that of Kabuto Yakushi, and it is simply unable to escape the Golden Binding Technique.
"drink!"
Pharmacist Kabuto clenched his palms, and the body of the ink whale exploded. Ink splashed all over the sky, and the rolling turbid waves flowed out from the several large holes that were previously blasted by Suzuki Kimie's virtual flash.
It wasn't just the Ink Sperm Whale that was hit by the Golden Binding Technique, even 'Suzuki Kimie' was immobilized.
After continuously using the Void Flash and creating giant creatures like the Ink Sperm Whale, even as a chakra creature, Suzuki Kimie's chakra was almost exhausted.
The dark red tailed beast robe on his cheek gradually broke into pieces and peeled off.
This is a battle between chakras!
The remaining chakra of 'Suzuki Kimie' was simply unable to break free from Kabuto Yakushi's Golden Binding Technique.
"Have a sweet dream."
Yakushi Kabuto ignored Suzuki Kimie who was glaring at him and growling threateningly. He raised one hand, and green chakra emerged from his palm, pressing it on its head.
The Palm Immortal Technique can not only be used to treat injuries, but also to interfere with the chakra circulation of others by releasing chakra, causing a coma.
Even after falling into a coma, the octopus tentacles of 'Suzuki Kimie' still tightly entangled Suzuki Maika.
Yakushi Kabuto sighed and could only use the chakra scalpel to cut off the octopus tentacles and pull Suzuki Maika out.
"Mr. Yakushi, can Miss Suzuki be saved?"
Grace dragged her weak body over and found that Suzuki Maika was barely breathing, her face was as pale as paper, and it seemed that she had lost even more blood than she had.
"It's all right now."
Yakushi Kabuto reached out his hand, touched Suzuki Maika's neck, took out a blood-stained brass bullet, and then touched it again, and the bullet hole was still healed.
It's amazing!
Grace subconsciously stroked her smooth, flat belly.
No matter how many times you have seen it, the extraordinary healing ability of the extraordinary people is always so amazing. This is also one of the reasons why everyone is madly pursuing extraordinary powers.
"I'll arrange it right away and prepare a blood transfusion for Sister Suzuki." Grace took out her cell phone.
"Need not."
Pharmacist Dou took out a small glass medicine bottle from his arms, which contained a few small black pills.
He took out one and stuffed it into Suzuki Maika's mouth.
Suddenly, Suzuki Maika's bleak face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even her eyelids moved slightly.
What kind of drug is this? It works immediately and is so potent.
Grace could not hide the shock in her eyes.
Pharmacist Kabuto took out another test tube and dripped the blood that had stained his hands from treating Suzuki Maika into it.
"Mr. Pharmacist, what are you doing?" Grace couldn't help but ask.
"I told you, I'm a pharmacist. One of the reasons why I came to the human world is to find the elixir of immortality in myths and legends." Pharmacist Kabuto shook the test tube in his hand.
Chapter 232 Chapter 233 Penglai Jade Branch
"Mr. Pharmacist is actually looking for the elixir of life! Does the elixir of life really exist?"
Grace could hardly believe her ears, and her mind was a little dazed for a moment.
"But why did he appear in Wakasa Bay in Fukui Prefecture?"
Although Grace is a foreigner, she studied in Japan at university, so her understanding of East Asian culture is not superficial. Especially after April, various monsters and gods from myths and legends appear on the scene, and the Metropolitan Police Department has specially invited folklore and history scholars to give supplementary lessons to foreign staff.
Different from the Western pursuit of eternal bliss in heaven or the Buddhist theory of reincarnation, the romance of East Asia lies in immortality and becoming an immortal.
From ancient times to the present, emperors and generals have gone through fire and water and spent huge amounts of money for the sake of immortality, but in the end it was proved to be just a moon in the water or a flower in the mirror.
One of the most well-known legends about immortality in East Asia is that Emperor Qin Shi Huang sent Xu Fu to lead 3,000 young girls to sail eastward to explore the overseas fairy mountain Penglai, hoping that the immortals would bestow the secret of immortality.
Japan is also an East Asian country, and there are many anecdotes about elixirs in folk tales from all over the country.
There is a popular view in Japan that Japan is actually the Penglai Island that the First Emperor explored, and that Xu Fu, who brought his three thousand boys with him, is the ancestor of the Japanese. There is also a Xu Fu Shrine in Saga City.
There are even scholars who wrote "A Study of Xu Fu's Founding of Japan" to prove that Xu Fu was Emperor Jimmu.
However, the archaeological community scoffs at this argument, because before Xu Fu sailed east, Japan already had an ancient Paleolithic civilization called the Jomon period, which lasted until 300 BC, so this is simply a fantasy.
"Mr. Pharmacist, are you here for the mermaid?"
Grace suddenly had an idea and recalled the legend of Yaobikuni that was widely circulated in Wakasa Bay.
The nun who ate the mermaid's flesh gained a lifespan of thousands of years, two hundred of which was spent on performing rituals dedicated to the Emperor. With a lifespan of a thousand years and an unchanged appearance, she can be said to have achieved immortality.
Pharmacist Dou shook the test tube in his hand without comment, then took out a thin dropper and sucked the blood from it. The bright red blood drop at the mouth of the dropper exuded a charming luster like a ruby.
Looking at Pharmacist Kabuto who was studying Suzuki Maika's blood sample, Grace became more and more confused.
"If they really came for the mermaids, then what's the point of collecting Suzuki Maika's blood? Is there any relationship between the Suzuki sisters and mermaids?"
Grace looked at Kabuto Yakushi calmly. This extraordinary person was very different from the previous ones. The extraordinary people either wore strange clothes like the black robe with red clouds, or wore clothes like the ancient people in the Taiga drama, which was out of tune with the times.
And not only did Kabuto Yakushi wear round glasses that were obviously of modern specifications, he was also very skilled in using a single tube and a dropper, and he didn't look like an old antique who was isolated from the world.
But Grace didn't dare to guess Yakushi Kabuto's age easily. Although he looked only about twenty years old, who knew if he had any secret to keep his youthful appearance.
"Mr. Pharmacist, what's the point of collecting blood samples from Sister Suzuki? And you said before that you came for Sister Suzuki, what did you mean?"
Because Pharmacist Kabuto was very kind, gentle, and approachable, Grace mustered up the courage to cautiously test the waters.
"Well, this is a long story."
"Woo..."
At this moment, Suzuki Maika, who was lying on the ground, let out a moan, her eyelids moved, and she slowly opened her eyes.
"elder sister!"
Suzuki Maika first looked around with a confused look on her face, her eyes wide open, terrified, and she struggled to stand up, but her legs went weak and she collapsed on the spot.
"Ms. Suzuki Maika, even though you have my elixir, you have lost too much blood and you can't move freely for a while. You should take it slow for now."
Pharmacist Kabuto lowered his head and looked at Suzuki Maika, giving a comforting smile like a doctor showing concern for his patient.
"I was clearly shot in the neck, but how come I don't feel any pain now? Did you save me? And you are..."
Suzuki Maika, who had calmed down a little, was still filled with fear. She touched her neck with lingering fear and took a look. There was clearly a large stain of blood, but now she was safe and sound.
The previous gunshot wound to the neck seemed like just an illusion.
"Are you the mysterious man who appeared in the car accident and opened the chest with his bare hands to stop the bleeding?"
After seeing the face of Kabuto Yakushi clearly, Suzuki Maika exclaimed.
A week ago, a mysterious man with glasses appeared at Jinguji Private High School and demonstrated incredible skills such as stopping bleeding with his bare hands and performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation by opening his chest with his bare hands right under the nose of Suzuki Maika.
Since that day, Suzuki Maika has been brooding over this matter. Afterwards, she even looked for Yakushi Kabuto in the school for a while, but there was no such person. After finding nothing, Suzuki Maika could only give up in disappointment.
"Ms. Suzuki Maika, isn't this the first time you and Mr. Pharmacist have met?" Grace perked up when she heard that, and said directly.
"Shh, don't talk yet."
Pharmacist Dou took out a jade branch about ten centimeters long from somewhere. The top had multiple branches like a tree branch. It was crystal clear, shining and exuding the moisture of jade.
what is this?
Grace stared at Yuzhi intently.
The quality of this jade is unprecedented. If the jade branch was carved, it can be said to be a work of art that is beyond compare.
Pharmacist Kabuto solemnly picked up the dropper and dripped a drop of Suzuki Maika's blood on the jade branch that looked like red agate.
After the blood dripped on it, it flowed down the jade branch and splashed onto the ground without any unusual signs.
"No reaction. It's not mermaid blood after all..."
Pharmacist Dou pushed the round glasses on his nose. Although his voice was flat, he could not hide his disappointment.
"Mr. Pharmacist, could you please help me clear up a little confusion? I have no idea what you are doing now." Grace said with a wry smile.
Is this my blood?
What happened while I was unconscious? What was he going to do by collecting my blood?
Suzuki Maika was also confused, with a look of doubt on her face.
"Well, let me explain it a little bit."
The pharmacist waved his hand and, as if performing magic, he put away all the things to nowhere.
"Ms. Suzuki, when we were in Tokyo, it was your scent that attracted me. To be more precise, it was your aura that caught my attention."
Yakushi Kabuto never stops talking about shocking things. As soon as he opened his mouth, Grace and Suzuki Maika were shocked.
Mr. Yakushi means that Suzuki Maika is a monster?
Grace looked at Suzuki Maika in doubt and subconsciously put her hand behind her waist and touched the pistol.
However, all of Suzuki Maika's resume from birth to adulthood, as well as all of her medical examination records, had long been dug out by the Metropolitan Police Department. They had always been ordinary, no different from ordinary people. Could it be that Suzuki Maika had hidden herself so deeply?
Suzuki Maika also fell into self-doubt.
Originally, she disdained all kinds of supernatural things, but when she saw her own sister, who was related to her by blood, turned into a half-human, half-octopus monster, she couldn't help but feel shaken.
Since her elder sister can transform into a demon-like appearance, maybe her younger sister can do it too?
The monster is actually me?!
"Maybe what I said was ambiguous. Miss Suzuki, you are the descendant of a monster!" Yakushi Kabuto looked at the two people with different expressions, smiled and spread his hands.
"But I don't know how many generations ago it was, but after continuous interbreeding with humans, Miss Suzuki only has a trace of monster blood left in your veins, which is so weak that it is almost gone, and you are almost the same as a mortal."
"Yes, is it like this?"
Suzuki Maika's face was filled with shock, and she stammered. No wonder she looked like that, anyone would be dumbfounded if they heard that a monster had appeared in their ancestry.
"After the Age of Gods, mixed-race descendants of monsters are quite rare. Originally, I was just curious and secretly took a look at you, and was about to leave, but an unexpected car accident happened and the injured person was on the verge of death, so I stepped in to rescue him." Yakushi Kabuto told the story.
"After leaving Tokyo, I came to Wakasa Bay in search of the elixir of life. I didn't expect to meet Ms. Suzuki again under such circumstances."
"But what does Miss Suzuki's blood have to do with the elixir of life?"
"After Miss Suzuki was seriously injured and bleeding, I smelled the fishy and salty smell of the ocean in her monster blood. Miss Suzuki's ancestor must have been a mermaid! And in Wakasa Bay, where mermaids are said to live, I had the thought that if anything, Miss Suzuki might be a descendant of a mermaid. Unfortunately..."
Yakushi Kabuto let out a long sigh, and his expression became dull.
Well, seeing that Mr. Yakushi’s disappointment is evident in his expression, Suzuki Maika is definitely not the descendant of a mermaid.
"If Miss Suzuki is a descendant of mermaids, then the blood of mermaids may be able to activate the Penglai Jade Branch and allow me to find Penglai, where mermaids live. In the present world, the place most likely to have the elixir of immortality is Penglai."
"So what kind of monster am I descended from?"
Suzuki Maika's eyes spun around as she heard this. She couldn't help but look at the octopus tentacles that Suzuki Kimie had grown, and the corners of her mouth twitched:
"Could it be that we sisters are the descendants of the giant octopus?"
