Slaying God: I, the insane and witty god

Chapter 526: Getting up at night and returning wet from the Yodogawa River, meeting a favor in front

The water of Yodo River is wet and cold, with an indescribable fishy smell.

Wu Hen and Lin Qiye climbed up the shore tremblingly like two drowned dogs.

The river breeze blew, chilling him to the bone and making him feel excited. It almost blew away the few remaining strands of Wu Hen's hair.

"Hiss—this sourness is even stronger than canned herrings with ten times the lemon juice!"

Wu Hen rubbed his arms, his teeth chattering, and he didn't forget to complain.

Lin Qiye took off his mask, revealing a face full of fatigue, but his eyes flashed with relief at surviving the disaster.

"Finally made it out alive."

He let out a long breath, as if he wanted to spit out all the Yodogawa water in his lungs.

Wu Hen sat down on the ground and began to wring out his clothes, like a human dryer.

"You can't say that our luck is unmatched."

"I was walking across a bridge and it collapsed. I fell into a river and was nearly engulfed by an unknown creature."

He recalled what happened under the Yamazaki Bridge and felt a surge of fear.

Originally, with his skills, he could easily escape to the shore the moment the bridge collapsed.

But for some reason, a strange idea suddenly popped up in his mind: jump into the river!

Moreover, the idea was so strong that he could not resist it, and he jumped down as if possessed by some unknown force.

Thinking about it now, Wu Hen finds it unbelievable.

Could it be the legendary sixth sense?

Or has the system given him some weird hidden task?

"System, come out and explain what happened just now?" Wu Hen muttered to himself.

However, the system did not respond, as if it had crashed.

"Did you see anything in the water just now?" Lin Qiye's voice interrupted Wu Hen's thoughts.

Wu Hen shook his head: "Apart from water, there are only water plants, not even a single fish."

He paused, then added, "But I feel like something is staring at me. It's eerie and creepy."

Lin Qiye frowned slightly, "It seems that this matter is not simple."

At this moment, there was a faint sound of footsteps not far away...

Wu Hen and Lin Qiye became alert instantly and turned their heads to look.

A familiar figure appeared in their sight...

"Xiao Meng?" Wu Hen widened his eyes.

"Xiao Meng? Why are you here?"

Wu Hen jumped up from the ground with a somersault, and the water droplets on his body flew everywhere, like a hedgehog with its fur standing on end.

He looked Yunari up and down. She was wearing a loose white coat.

He was wearing a big hat on his head, covering most of his face, but his big watery eyes were still clear and transparent.

"I...I've been waiting here for you."

Yunari's voice was trembling a little, like a frightened little rabbit, which made people feel pity for her.

Wu Hen took a step closer and reached out to touch her head, but stopped abruptly in mid-air.

Alas, he is a serious man, he should be reserved and not take advantage of others easily.

"Um, Xiao Meng, how did you know we were here?" Lin Qiye also walked over with a puzzled tone.

Yunari lowered her head, twisting the corner of her clothes nervously with her fingers, and whispered, "I... I saw you fall into the river, and then I've been waiting here..."

"puff!"

Wu Hen couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"So you are acting out the 'Wife-Waiting Rock' scene?" He rubbed his hands and felt the chill in his body dissipate a lot.

Lin Qiye's mouth twitched and he glared at him unhappily.

"Okay, okay, stop making trouble."

He looked around and found that they were on an unknown street with people coming and going and it was very noisy.

"Where are we now? Why does it feel like the direction is wrong?"

"I don't know either." Wu Hen spread his hands, indicating that he was also confused.

"System, you crazy bastard, are you pretending to be dumb now?"

He complained silently in his heart, but the system still did not respond.

"How about we ask someone?" Lin Qiye suggested.

The two nodded and then grabbed a passerby.

"Excuse me, where is this place? How do I get to Dotonbori?"

Wu Hen tried his best to make his tone sound friendly, after all, he was asking someone for help.

The passerby pointed in a direction and said a few words in Japanese. Wu Hen and Lin Qiye were confused and didn't understand what he meant at all.

"Forget it, it's useless to ask." Wu Hen sighed and turned to Lin Qiye and said,

"I think we should just wander around on our own. We'll eventually reach Dotonbori."

The two had just taken a few steps when Wu Hen suddenly stopped and frowned.

"What's wrong?" Lin Qiye asked in confusion.

"Do you feel that what happened today is a little bit strange?"

Wu Hen touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

"First, the Yamazaki Bridge collapsed without warning, and then we were attacked by an unknown creature on the Yodo River,"

"Now he appears here inexplicably. Isn't this all too coincidental?"

"You mean, someone is behind all this?" Lin Qiye's eyes were stern.

"I suspect it was that Han Sichuan who did this!"

Wu Hen gritted his teeth and said,

"Last time at the hotel, he was acting all weird. This time, maybe he was the one who planned it all!"

Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes slightly, as if thinking about something.

"Yeah, it's very likely." He nodded. "We have to be careful. This guy definitely has bad intentions."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go to Dotonbori and meet up with Xiao Meng."

Wu Hen said impatiently that he just wanted to see Yunari as soon as possible and see if there were any new tasks to do.

The two quickened their pace and headed towards Dotonbori.

After passing through several bustling streets, we finally arrived at Dotonbori.

"I feel that Xiao Meng is nearby!" Wu Hen closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and felt the breath around him.

Mental power surged out like a tide, instantly covering the entire street.

"Over there!" Wu Hen suddenly opened his eyes and pointed in a direction.

The two of them walked quickly through the crowd and into a dark alley.

In the corner of the alley, they found Yunari, hugging her knees and shivering.

Wu Hen walked forward gently and squatted beside her.

"Xiao Meng, don't be afraid, we are here to pick you up." He stretched out his hand and wanted to touch Yunari's hair.

Just when his hand was about to touch Yunari, Yunari suddenly raised her head, her eyes were empty and she muttered to herself...

"Hen...Brother Hen..." Yunari's voice was as thin as a mosquito, with a barely perceptible tremor.

Wu Hen's hand froze in mid-air, and his heart sank suddenly.

This sound is wrong!

The next second, Yunari suddenly raised her head, her eyes were empty, her face was as pale as paper, and her lips trembled slightly, as if she was muttering some spell.

"Destruction...Divine punishment..." She repeated these two words mechanically, looking into the distance with empty eyes, as if she had seen something terrible.

"What the hell! What's going on?!" Wu Hen was so scared that he jumped three feet high and almost performed a Thomas turn on the spot.

"Possessed? Or possessed? This development is too exciting!"

He was complaining madly in his heart, but his hands did not slow down at all. He pulled Lin Qiye behind him and stared at Yunari vigilantly.

"Xiao Meng! Wake up!"

Lin Qiye's voice was filled with anxiety as he tried to wake Yunari up.

But the latter did not respond at all and continued to repeat the two words mechanically.

"Stop shouting, it's useless."

Wu Hen shook his head, his eyes solemn.

"This girl, I'm afraid she's been possessed by some dirty thing."

As he spoke, he called out to the system in his mind, "Big Brother System, come out and save the day! I can't handle this situation!"

However, the system remained silent, as if it had disappeared from the face of the earth.

"Damn it! It fails at the critical moment. This broken system will have to be uninstalled sooner or later!"

Wu Hen cursed in his heart, but pretended to be calm on the surface.

At this moment, Yunari's eyes suddenly regained some clarity, and she looked around blankly.

"Hen...Brother Hen?" Her voice was trembling with a hint of crying, as if she was dreaming.

"Xiao Meng! You finally woke up!"

Wu Hen heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and quickly stepped forward to hug Yunari.

He patted her back gently and comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay, brother is here."

Yunari hugged Wu Hen tightly, tears rolling down her face like pearls from a broken string.

"Brother Hen, I... I thought you would never come back..." She choked and said, her voice full of fear and dread.

"Silly girl, how could I abandon you?" Wu Hen gently stroked Yunari's hair.

"Wow, wow, wow..." Yunari burst into tears, venting all her fear and grievances.

"Okay, okay, stop crying. If you keep crying you'll turn into a clown."

Wu Hen comforted softly, and at the same time secretly glanced at Lin Qiye, and found that the latter was looking at them helplessly.

"Cough cough..."

Lin Qiye coughed twice, breaking the slightly awkward atmosphere, "Well, let's leave here first. It's not safe here."

Wu Hen nodded and helped Yunari stand up.

"By the way, Xiao Meng, did you see anyone or anything suspicious?"

Yunari shook her head. "I... I didn't see anything. I just remember the bridge suddenly collapsed, and then I passed out..."

"It seems that the conspiracy behind the scenes is very deep." Wu Hen touched his chin.

"Brother Hen, I'm hungry..." Yunari said weakly, breaking the tense atmosphere.

"Are you hungry? Then let's find a place to eat first." Wu Hen said with a smile, but he was thinking about the next plan in his mind.

The three were about to leave when suddenly a familiar voice came from behind...

"Three of you, wait!"

A middle-aged man in chef's uniform ran over panting.

"It's you?" Wu Hen recognized the uncle. He was the restaurant owner who wanted to help Yunari in Dotonbori before.

"Please come to my restaurant for dinner, everyone. It's my treat!" the uncle said enthusiastically with a sincere smile on his face.

Wu Hen and Lin Qiye looked at each other and saw a hint of doubt in each other's eyes.

What is this guy up to?

Wu Hen touched his empty pocket and laughed awkwardly.

"Well, uncle, look at us...we are penniless. I'm afraid we can only pay with our faces."

He was complaining furiously in his heart: System, oh system, please give me some help. If you don’t give me any more tasks, I’m afraid I’ll have to perform on the streets!

Lin Qiye shrugged helplessly, indicating that he was also incorruptible.

Yunari looked at them with a confused look on her face, her big eyes full of doubts, like a lost kitten.

"Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay. I'm very happy that you can come to my store!"

The middle-aged man patted his chest and greeted them enthusiastically, "Come on, come on, I'll take you there! The ramen in my shop is the best in Dotonbori!"

As he said that, he turned around and led the way, taking the three of them through twists and turns until they arrived at a small shop called "Ichiraku Ramen".

The store is not big, but it is very clean. The air is filled with the rich aroma of pork bone soup, which makes people's stomachs growl.

"Gurgle gurgle..." Wu Hen's stomach growled uncontrollably, causing the uncle to burst into laughter.

The uncle welcomed them into the store, warmly asked them to sit down, then waved his hand and shouted to the kitchen: "Lao Wang, three bowls of special pork bone ramen, with extra meat!"

Soon, three bowls of steaming hot ramen were served, topped with barbecued pork, dried bamboo shoots and seaweed, and the aroma was fragrant.

Wu Hen's mouth was watering as he looked at the bowl of ramen that looked so delicious.

"Enjoy your meal, and add more if it's not enough!" The uncle looked at them with a smile, his eyes full of enthusiasm.

Wu Hen picked up the chopsticks and couldn't wait to pick up a piece of barbecued pork and put it into his mouth.

"Hmm! It smells so good!" He closed his eyes and enjoyed the happiness brought by the delicious food.

Lin Qiye also started eating with big mouthfuls, devouring it all in one swift motion, unable to stop at all.

Yunari looked at them wolfing down their food and smiled sheepishly.

Then he started eating the ramen in small bites, with a smile on his face, like a kitten that had stolen a fish.

The uncle watched them eat with gusto and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"It seems that my skills are not bad!" He touched the back of his head and said a little embarrassedly.

"Uncle, your craftsmanship is absolutely at the master level!" Wu Hen gave a thumbs up and praised him generously.

"Hahaha, no prizes, no prizes!"

The uncle smiled happily, but suddenly frowned again, "Oh, I was just too happy. Three bowls of ramen are probably not enough for the three of you!"

He looked at the remaining soup base, then looked at Wu Hen and Lin Qiye who were still eating hard, and scratched his head in confusion.

"How about... three more bowls?" The uncle hesitated for a moment, but decided to be generous.

Wu Hen was about to say no, but he heard Yunari suddenly say, "Boss, you...you are..." She pointed at the uncle,

Yunari pointed at the middle-aged man, her tone filled with disbelief: "You...you are...my brother?!"

"Poof..." Wu Hen almost spit out the ramen in his mouth. He widened his eyes.

Looking at Yunari and then at the uncle, I felt like my brain was about to stop working.

What kind of a development is this?

A long-lost brother and sister reunited at a ramen restaurant?

This is too bloody!

Lin Qiye was also stunned. He put down his chopsticks and frowned slightly. There was something wrong with this plot!

The middle-aged man was stunned at first, then he burst into laughter, almost laughing to the point of tears.

"Little girl, you got the wrong person, didn't you? I don't have a sister as beautiful as you!"

He smiled and patted Yunari's shoulder, with a hint of pampering in his tone.

Yunari shook her head firmly and pointed at a small scar on the uncle's face.

He said, "I'm not mistaken! You are my brother! The scar on your face was accidentally scratched by me when I was a child!"

The uncle's laughter stopped abruptly, and his face turned gloomy in an instant.

"Little girl, you really have the wrong person! This scar on my face was caused by a fall when I was a child!"

His tone became a little stiff, and his eyes avoided Yunari's gaze.

"No! You are my brother!"

Yunari's eyes were red, and there was a hint of crying in her tone.

"Do you still remember? When we were little, you always secretly bought me candy and took me to the amusement park..."

The uncle's face became more and more ugly, he stood up suddenly,

He said in a cold tone: "I said, you've got the wrong person! Stop talking nonsense!" He turned around and was about to leave.

"Brother! Don't go!" Yunari chased after him crying, grabbed the uncle's sleeve and refused to let go.

The uncle shook Yunari's hand away, "Let go! I don't know you!"

His voice was cold and heartless, as if Yunari was just a stranger.

"Brother! Why don't you recognize me?" Yunari collapsed on the ground, tears streaming down her face.

Wu Hen and Lin Qiye looked at each other and saw a hint of shock and confusion in each other's eyes.

What exactly is going on?

Is this uncle really not Yunari's brother?

Wu Hen walked up to the uncle, stared at him sharply, and said in a cold tone: "Uncle, you'd better explain clearly, who are you?"

The uncle took a deep breath, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, and finally, he slowly said: "I..."
