Chapter 405 Part 2: The Gathering of the Original Bodies
Chapter 405 The Twelve Entities Gather
A week later, the festive atmosphere of the Bolongin Festival completely cooled down, and everyone returned to their normal lives.
The weather has also returned to a hot and dry state.
However, the temperature difference between day and night is quite large. It's easy to sweat in short sleeves during the day, but you'll need to wear a jacket at night.
Shichen put on his coat, picked up a card that looked like an invitation from the table, and left his room.
"Time..."
'
"Time of day".
Ogura and Xiaowu were waiting for him at the door.
"Let's go." Shi Chen rubbed their heads.
Half a month has passed, and Ogura hasn't changed much. Vampires have a very slow development cycle. However, Xiao Wu's hair has grown quite a bit, although it still looks like a male hairstyle.
But it's better than no change at all.
"Okay." The two nodded and followed him.
"Nayue, then we'll be right back," Shichen said to Nangong Nayue, who was sitting at the coffee table drinking red tea.
"Um...really you don't need me to come along?" Nangong Nayue couldn't help but ask.
"Don't worry, we'll be back in no time, just like when we go out to buy ice cream."
'
"...Alright, I don't know what kind of injury it is."
"The bag won't be damaged, but if I meet your requirements, will there be a reward when I get back?"
"You want another reward?"
"Is there really no reward?"
'
...We'll see how you perform.
"Alright, let's go."
"N-Natsuki, we're leaving." Ogurora waved gently to Nagatsuki, still a little afraid of her.
"Nayue, let's go." Xiaowu was not afraid of Nangong Nayue.
"Okay, go early and come back early."
After leaving the apartment, Shi Chen led Aurora and Xiao Wu by the hand and walked down the deserted street.
The streets are quite bright tonight, because it's a full moon night.
As they walked, Shichen stopped and looked up at the buildings on both sides.
"Shichen, what's wrong with you?" Aurora asked in confusion.
"Can't you sense them?" Shichen asked in return.
Who is it?
"Forget it, you little piece of trash."
"What? How dare you say that about me! I let you touch me, touch my breasts every day... ugh!"
"Alright, alright, you're not a good-for-nothing anymore, okay?" Shi Chen quickly covered her mouth.
Xiao Wu seemed not to understand, but a glint flashed in her eyes.
"Ahem, Xiao Wu, did you sense them?" Shi Chen asked Xiao Wu, pretending nothing was wrong.
"Mmm." Xiao Wu nodded gently.
"Xiao Wu, what did you discover?" Ogura asked.
"Don't be foolish."
"Shichen, I'm angry!" Ogurora puffed out her cheeks and glared at him angrily.
Shi Chen casually pinched his cheek, then looked up at the building and asked indifferently, "Aren't you going to show yourself?"
call out-
A whooshing sound rang out, and then several figures suddenly appeared, landing around Shi Chen and the others.
There were four people, but they were petite and clearly women. The key feature was their brilliant golden hair, which shone like flames.
Just like Aurora and the others!
It's a different body!
All four were dressed in armor, but it did nothing to conceal their petite and delicate bodies.
But anyone who is fooled by their appearance is incredibly stupid.
"Number Three (Tritos), Number Four (Tetartos)... and Number Six and Number Ten, what are you doing here?" Xiao Wu recognized the four people at a glance.
However, the four did not answer, but instead knelt on one knee facing the time, like knights guarding the king.
"You kneel before me? Does that mean you recognize me as your new king?" Shichen laughed.
The four people still did not answer, but simply nodded slightly.
They had been watching Shichen and Aurora's daily lives and seeing how much he doted on them, so they had long since decided that he was the one.
"very good."
Shichen stepped forward, stood before Number Three, removed her helmet, revealing her exquisite, fairy-like face.
Just like Ogurola.
Shichen stroked her cheek, lifted her up, then embraced her, lowered his head to her neck, and his fangs pierced her.
Number three frowned slightly, remaining motionless, his expression soon showing signs of wanting to act.
The time passed, and the beast within her was absorbed. He then left her, lowered his head, and kissed her lips, staining them a deep red.
"Calling you 'mistress' doesn't feel right. From now on, you'll be called 'San San'."
"Yes."
"Enter my body first."
Shichen absorbed San San into his body and then went to Number Four, doing the same thing to it as he had done to San San.
"From now on, your name will be Xiao Si."
"Um."
"And you, Xiao Lu, Xiao Shi."
After storing Number Six and Number Ten into his body, Shi Chen took Aurora and Xiao Wu back to the location of the ceremony.
However, Ogurora was a little unhappy.
"Shichen... how could you... kiss them too?"
"Hmm? You want to have me all to yourself?" Shi Chen looked at her with a smile.
"Um...no, is it not allowed?"
"You're quite greedy, but you've got it wrong. It's not that I belong to you, but that you belong to me." Shi Chen gently stroked her delicate nose.
"What's the difference?" Aurora sniffed uncomfortably.
"The difference is that it is now, and you can't be jealous."
"Hmm..." Ogurora pouted unhappily.
"What? Don't you want your other sisters to live happily?"
"Of course I want to! But you can't..."
'
"This is a necessary step, but how can you be so selfish?"
"Where is the selfishness..."
""
"Alright, alright, I'll make it up to you when I get back, okay? We've wasted a lot of time, so Yue is going to scold us."
"Then hurry up."
Zaharias chose the location for the Flame Feast to be held in the old southeastern region of Itogami Island, an artificial island floating in the sea southeast of Itogami Island.
The island was originally an experimental artificial island, which was later used as the construction base for the main island of Itogami. Most of the residents there were urban designers, construction workers and their families who were directly involved in the construction of Itogami.
The former southeastern region used to be the center of Itogami Island, but after the completion of the four artificial islands in the east, west, south, and north, it became largely useless, and to this day, the population continues to decline.
Compared to the main island of Itogami Island, it is much smaller and its facilities are also much inferior. Moreover, the lifespan of the artificial island is about to expire, and it has been designated as an abandoned area. It is estimated that it will be completely demolished within a few years.
In other words, it was an artificial island that was on the verge of collapse, and it was quite fitting for Zaharias, the merchant of death, to hold a banquet there.
The location of the banquet was listed on the invitation, but Shi Chen knew about the island, not because Nangong Nayue told him.
It was Xian Guyong who told him this news.
Having already grasped the entire space of Itogami Island, and because San San and the others had delayed him a little, he directly led Aurora to their destination—the Quartz Gate.
Quartz Gate is a huge building located in the center of the old southeastern region. The building is a six-story structure, and Itogami City used to have its official offices and the headquarters of the artificial island management company here.
The Quartz Gate's exterior walls are made of magically enhanced transparent diamond glass, making the building resemble a giant jewel palace. At the center of the palace is a huge clock tower that looks like a hexagonal crystal.
The giant clock tower once proclaimed the technology of the Far East Magic Zone—One String Island—to the world, making it a historic magical building.
However, now that the old southeast area has been decided to be demolished, this quartz gate will naturally also be abandoned.
Therefore, the Quartz Gate is now an abandoned ruin that is off-limits to the general public. This beautiful but empty glass castle is the central square of the Quartz Gate, which was chosen by Zaharias Zaharias as the stage for his banquet.
In the center of the plaza, covered by a glass ceiling, twelve coffins were arranged in a fan shape, and in half of them lay six fairy-like girls lying quietly.
All the remaining entities of the Flamelight Night Elder, number eleven, number nine, number eight, number seven, number two, and number one, and all the Flamelight Night Elders owned by Zaharias.
It's truly remarkable that he was able to seize the remaining bodies in the territories of the other True Ancestors in such a short time.
And he, who possessed six bodies, did indeed hold a banquet.
"Zaharias, it's been a long time." Shichen led Aurora and Xiaowu into the central square.
Zaharias smiled when he saw the time, and gave an elegant bow: "Thank you for coming, Mr. Time, and Miss Aurora and Miss Xiaowu, welcome to the banquet I have hosted."
Xiao Wu remained unmoved, while Aurora hid behind Shi Chen, frowning and looking displeased at her sisters in the coffin.
Shi Chen looked at the gray-haired girl encased in a gem crystal, who was placed in the center of them.
