I Can See Health Bars in Real Life-Chapter 342 - 13: Passerby? Special or Not Special (Part 2)

The time and place were both inappropriate, and what happened was particularly bizarre... But of course, he wouldn’t think about this at all, as his mind was entirely absorbed in the successful completion of a big deal. Feeling the money in his pocket, he felt particularly secure and didn’t think about anything else.

"I wonder if we can communicate...there should be room for negotiation, right?"

As Gu Mo walked, he examined the demon sword in his hand. Due to the sealing, he couldn’t see the specific attributes or use it for the time being.

Not only did the wooden sheath have a spirit, but even the Cloudy Fang itself had self-awareness. As one of the Three Tyrannical Swords that the Great Dog General relied on to roam the world, it was different from the other two Tusk Swords, not crafted from the Great Dog General’s tusks, but was a demon blade that existed long ago.

An ancient evil spirit resided within, possessing infinite power, but with equal risk and power.

However, having already used the Iron Shattering Fang once, Gu Mo naturally knew what these demon blades of this world were, far more formidable than the embarrassing Divine Artifacts of the last world, like treasures, they could exponentially increase the combat power of a Servant.

With the mindset of a player, he naturally wouldn’t give up on this Cloudy Fang—regarding the risks, at his current level, any highly rewarding advanced rewards in various instances came with risks, unless he chose to abide by the rules, only clearing maps correspondent to his level, and choosing rewards like equipment and skills of the same level...

—Otherwise, these situations were always inevitable.

Before returning to the shrine’s main hall, Gu Mo saw a witch under the starry night, her body seemingly radiating a bright glow. It was hard to tell if the bright moon illuminated her, or if she illuminated the moon.

This aloof figure stood quietly in front of the Divine Wood, contemplating the Era Tree that seemingly hadn’t changed in five hundred years, nor will in five hundred years more.

"I and the spring breeze are mere passersby, but you hold the autumn waters to embrace the starry river..."

Gu Mo halted his steps, quietly watching this scene before him, inexplicably recalling this saying in his mind. He sighed softly, although unwilling to admit it, he might indeed be a mere passerby to the witch at the moment.

There wasn’t anything particularly special about him, journeying together merely due to the Four Souls Jade Fragment.

For now, that’s how it is, and it’s truly bothersome... Speaking of which, how to shake off this unremarkable impression?

As he pondered this, the witch under the tree turned her head, calmly asking, "Is this... your era?"

Though her tone was as calm as ever, Gu Mo seemed to hear a rare hesitance and doubt from her words, like uncertainty. He looked at the shrine located diagonally on the main hall, then withdrew his gaze with a slight shake of the head:

"This is Miss Himura’s era, not mine. Even in terms of time, my era is still far into the future, in the next century."

"I see..."

The witch nodded gently. Though she couldn’t comprehend the concept of the next century, she roughly understood the meaning.

She looked back at the Era Tree, seemingly eternally unchanged, then at the nearby shrine. Kikyo furrowed her brows, surveying the surroundings... The Divine Wood was here, and the Bone-Devouring Well was not far away, yet the environment was completely different.

She actually understood the reason, but it still felt very strange intuitively, completely unrecognizable as the once-familiar forest.

"Do you want to go out and take a look?" Gu Mo’s eyes lit up, and he proposed considerately, as if very understanding, "This land mostly belongs to the Himura Shrine. Though it’s quite large, it feels desolate as it’s already late at night. Outside is the true scene of the world five hundred years later..."

He gestured towards the distant tall bird house at the end of the entrance steps. Descending from there, it would lead to a long, wide flight of steps, then to the street, and outside was the urban district of Tokyo City...

The shrine, however, was in a serene environment, surrounded by tall woods that obstructed view, making the external urban scene hard to see when entering here... Speaking of which, considering the expensive real estate in Tokyo, having such a large shrine, Miss Himura could indeed be considered a potential rich woman.

"Shall we go over and have a look?"

Kikyo looked in the direction Gu Mo indicated, pondered briefly, and then nodded lightly, "...let’s take a look."

Nothing is more convincing than facts, as she originally wanted to confirm the time travel matter with the counterpart... So now that she’s personally come to this entirely different world, she naturally intends to have a look.

Just as she was about to move, the witch’s gaze naturally fell on the ancient straight blade in the other’s hand, as if sensing something: "Wait, this thing in your hand is..." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Oh, this, didn’t I use that Iron Shattering Fang earlier?"

Gu Mo feigned nonchalance, handing the demon sword over to the witch for examination, in fact, he planned to ask for her help, "Considering the user experience, I found the demon blade quite good, so it was necessary to get one for myself. I seized the opportunity to acquire one..."
