Chapter 125: Separation Before the Expedition
"Oh, I'm going to New Tokyo!" Sayuri was surprised, she didn't expect that these little things that were locked up in the Anxin Courtyard would also have the opportunity to go to the big city.
Probably because it successfully passed the inspection of the supervision team, Sayuri speculated, it seems that the teaching style and containment progress of the Anxin Hospital have been recognized. In any case, Zhang Su still created a good environment for everyone.
"We will do it again in New Tokyo!" Saho said confidently.
"But it's only a short trip...... Reiyang thought it was only a two-week trip.
"Indeed, if you go to New Tokyo, you will know what it means to be a real city and modern life. But you're comfortable enough that some of you spend your entire life at your desk, ramen cafeteria, and dorm in your apartment, and you don't have a few days off. Sayuri comforted.
"Sister Sayuri! What is New Tokyo like! Natsuki asked happily.
They gathered in front of Sayuri, their heads up, their eyes full of curiosity.
"Hmph......" Sayuri smiled, and the little kids asked her for advice, which touched her, and she felt that this was the most "useful" thing in her life, "New Tokyo is a magical place." ”
She narrated the glittering, progressive city.
"On the sidewalks, there is a bustling crowd every day, everyone is busy doing some important work, and everyone seems to not know each other. The signs are brightly coloured, and there are languages you've never seen before: English, Rhine, and Rus. The sound of music makes your ears hurt, and there are all kinds of pop culture ......"
Sayuri smiled herself when she said this.
"At night, neon lights sparkle like a real rainbow. The shops are shining with enticing lights, and the streets are full of food, so go outside at night! Selling salmon sushi, selling red bean paste taiyaki, selling Chikuwa oden, selling Tang Yang chicken nuggets, selling grilled squid, selling tempura fried shrimp, and seaweed octopus balls...... "Sayuri licks her tongue, but she doesn't sell blood."
After the collapse of the old Tokyo in the Demon War, the Toming Kingdom established the new Tokyo on the bay, which was much smaller and more compact than before, with high-rise buildings lined up one after another.
On the other hand, there are endless dark forces and underground structures, and beneath the glossy buildings are slums and pollution ditches, commonly known as "dark zones".
However, Sayuri does not expand on the dark side of New Tokyo, and only focuses on the things that can be bought with money:
Glass malls and steel towers pierce the sky, sparkling like diamonds, and floating lights flutter around them like fireflies. Those buildings never seem to collapse......
After listening to Sayuri's description, the children looked at Sayuri with ecstasy, and their gaze became more and more distant.
Speaking of which, Sayuri really felt sympathy.
These children can only travel to New Tokyo for a short period of time. After they see the freshness and prosperity of New Tokyo, will they still be able to look at the peace of mind in the countryside?
Sayuri, on the other hand, have been living in Shintokyo since they were born, and will be able to return there to enjoy modern urban life when they are released from prison.
“…… Is there really a flying shuttle and a holographic movie, as described in textbooks and videos? Makoku asked.
"It's more, it's too much, and the advanced technology of New Tokyo will make you feel like nothing is real." Sayuri waved her hand.
They gasped for breath in surprise.
"yes, but what about the fun stuff?" Saho asked.
"You're the Shadow Path, there's a shop in the underground mall that specializes in selling Shadow Witch stealth equipment, called 'Shadow Witch's House', and it's probably very popular when you go there." Sayuri said.
"Ho ho, it's amazing...... "Saho feels that the name Shadow Witch is so familiar, when have you ever heard of it?
"The teacher said he was going to take me to the Sky Tower to eat watermelon!" Natsuki said.
"It's a waste to eat watermelon, you should eat M5 Wagyu." Sayuri disagreed, "You should eat something delicious, and the most important thing in New Tokyo is to fill your stomach." ”
"What will the new Tokyo 'sound' like? Will it be noisy? Murohua asked.
"It's going to be noisy, the noise and the people never stop. Relatively speaking, Anxin-in is the quietest place I've ever seen, and it's best to go to New Tokyo with earmuffs or something, so as not to hear something nasty. Sayuri said casually.
"Wow!" Pepper is ready to take Komuro Hana to the streets of New Tokyo.
……
They're about to go.
The children gathered on the playground and waited for Zhang Su's instructions, Zhang Su cleared his throat and placed six suitcases beside him, some large and some small.
"Here's a suitcase for you." Zhang Su announced.
"Yay!"
"It's ready to be loaded!" Their eyes immediately fell on the boxes, gesturing at the unfamiliar handles and wheels. Only Saho is still secretly tying Natsuki's hair into an unsightly knot.
"I've put some travel essentials in each suitcase, and besides, you have to wear our little yellow hat so that I can tell you at a glance in the crowd and not be afraid that you will be lost." Zhang Su prepared little yellow hats for them.
They happily took their hats, put them on top of their heads, and walked around, imagining themselves in the middle of the new Tokyo.
Zhang Su breathed a sigh of relief, so that they were really like a group of elementary and junior high school girls on a spring outing.
"New Tokyo is big and chaotic, so everyone must follow me, we go to one place a day, do one thing, and we have phones and watches in our suitcases." Zhang Su said.
As soon as Saho heard that there was such a strange thing, his attention returned to Zhang Su.
"Okay, everyone take their suitcases, go back to the dormitory to tidy up, and when you're ready, I'll let the bus go up the mountain." Zhang Su nodded vigorously.
"Good!" They shouted one after another, and the suitcases of mercy and real bow were larger.
Natsuhina's suitcase was the smallest, the same as a suitcase.
Zhang Su wants to go far away, and the saddest thing is Hongyan.
This time, without the summoning of the lotus mist, Hongyan herself appeared, sitting on the "Bodhisattva seat", absentmindedly weaving blades of grass.
Zhang Su wanted to leave, and he had to say goodbye to Hongyan, and he came to the front of Da Qingshi. Hearing the sound of approaching footsteps, Hongyan raised his head hopefully, and as Zhang Su's tall, strong body came into view, Hongyan also seemed to be extremely happy.
"Hmph, you're leaving!" Red Flame threw away the blade of grass in his hand, "Throw away your Red Flame Great Bodhisattva, abandon the Anxin Temple!" ”
"It's just two weeks, it's just going to New Tokyo, has the Red Flame Bodhisattva been to New Tokyo?" Zhang Su asked with a smile.
"At that time, there was no such term at all, and our old Dongming people went to Heianjing." Red Flame stood on the stone, his hands on his hips.
Zhang Su handed Hongyan a piece of candy, which she didn't eat this time, but stuffed it into her pocket.
"I don't want to leave, but the children have to go out and see the world." Zhang Su sat on the grass.
He looked around and there were mountain streams that flowed vigorously, ponds that overflowed, plants and fruits that grew wildly.
The garden has benefited from the divine blessing of the Red Flame and is now very vibrant.
This is Red Flame's territory, the entrance to her tunnels, and the place where she is bound and imprisoned. Red Flame will never be able to leave the Anxin Hospital.
Her only understanding of the outside world comes from the accounts of the passers-by of Anxin Hospital, whose words are like small fragments of the world, falling into Hongyan's heart one by one, allowing her to piece together the appearance of the outside world.
“…… Have you ever been to Neo-Tokyo? Red Flame asked.
"I've been." Zhang Su had been there a few times in his previous life, tolerance.
This is the first time he has had the opportunity to bring his children with him, and he cherishes this opportunity.
When Hongyan saw Zhang Su's appearance, she also knew that this was a golden opportunity, she couldn't use any reason to keep Zhang Su, in fact, she couldn't tell herself.
She didn't want Zhang Su to go, she stood on the big bluestone and clasped her hands to her chest.
"Describe it." Red Flame Request.
"It was a very big city, with a population of 45 million." Zhang Su described, Red Flame listened intently, trying to make sense of the dazzling lights, towering buildings, and crowded streets.
She let out a longing sigh.
"Sounds fantastic." Red Flame admitted, 'I wish I could go with you, even once.' ’
Zhang Su shook his head, and he thought of another crucial question.
"Who tied you here?" He asked.
"Godeth, it's just her." Red Flame said.
The Lord of the Spirit Realm, the Ruler of Heaven, Godis, and the second seat of the Council of the Nine Seats of the Witches.
"Is there any reason?" Zhang Su asked.
"Gottis needs someone to watch over Tsukiki-hime." Red Flame shook her head, "My performance in the spirit world is not good, maybe, maybe she is seeing me as useless." ”
"No, no, no, the power of the Red Flame Great Bodhisattva is very powerful." Zhang Sulian praised.
Hearing Zhang Su's words, Hongyan barely squeezed out a smile. Although she knew that Zhang Su was comforting, she was still sincerely grateful to hear such words.
"Of course." She raised her head, "I'm the Red Flame Bodhisattva, the guardian of the Peace of Mind. ”
"I'll bring you a souvenir back." Zhang Su gently promised, "What do you want?" ”
Red Flame nodded thoughtfully, then smiled brightly.
"Dim Sum! And new clothes! She announced.
"Of course, of course, I'll find the best confectionery shop in New Tokyo for the Red Flame Bodhisattva, and then buy a lot of new clothes and come back." Zhang Su stepped forward, "I promise." ”
Red Flame was relieved.
She flew up and touched Zhang Su's head from a high place, once, twice, three times.
"Zhang Su." She asked softly, "What do you think...... Will I have a chance to leave this place freely in the future? ”
Zhang Su raised her head to meet Hongyan's sad gaze, her eyes filled with some kind of unattainable longing.
"Yes, surely." Zhang Su nodded, "And before that, I will go outside to explore what I have seen and heard, and bring the story back to share with you, just like the last time I told you the story of my fight against demons, this time it is the story of the journey of New Tokyo." ”
"That's good!" Red Flame flew back and burrowed back into his own rift, "Alright! Let's go to a happy new Tokyo! Don't bother me anymore, I'm busy, digging tunnels! ”
Zhang Su clearly heard her crying.
