Chapter 278 Blood connection
A few days passed in a flash and the weather was just right.
After lunch, Mo Ran walked in the wilderness outside Inazuma Castle. He enjoyed this rare personal time very much.
Suddenly, he felt the pull of his blood in his body and looked towards the northwest, where one of his blood relatives had landed on the island.
Ever since his strength reached that of Morax, he has developed a good sense of the connection between bloodlines.
Mo Ran didn't say anything, he stepped on the wind and flew towards that direction. He felt a little nervous, wondering which relative would come.
The irresponsible father, the unreliable mother, or the lovely sister, who could it be? What is Inazuma doing here? What will happen?
As he thought about it, his breathing inevitably became rapid. As the connection between their blood became stronger, the man standing on the dock also looked in the direction of the man in black.
This is a blonde traveler in a red coat and a red hat. She has a curvy figure, a face that can steal the moon, and a gentle and kind temperament. She doesn't look like a mother at all. Even less can she be seen as someone who can eliminate a nearby hill with just a flick of her finger.
Many of the men on the dock turned around to look, but they didn't stay for too long. One reason was because of work, and the other was that the clothes she wore were obviously very valuable and they couldn't afford to offend her.
However, workers may think so, but unemployed vagrants and hooligans may not think so. Sometimes we have to admit the tenacity of this "ethnic group".
It is obvious that he could find a decent job to make a living, but he chooses to hang out on the streets, harassing decent women and corrupting public morals.
The main shogunate army would at most ask them to pay compensation and apologize, or detain them for a few days. These guys were not afraid at all. They went in and out every few days, which was a headache.
The man in the lead stretched out his flowing hair, walked over with one shoulder higher than the other, raised his eyebrows from time to time, and exuded his charm that had nowhere to go over there.
At this time, a figure passed by them and walked towards the woman.
Of course, these little hooligans would not give up just like that, and they shouted, "Don't you know that it comes first? Do you know the rules?"
"That's right, this is the item that my eldest brother picked out first, so get out of here, understand?!"
Mo Ran tilted his head slightly, his eyes were cold and eerie. If it weren't for Alice's eye signal just now, he would have called the Shogunate army long ago.
“You, you dare to glare at me, don’t think you are wearing…” The leader quickly shut up.
Just now he was so horny that he didn't even look at the man. But now that he took a closer look, he realized that he was not someone he could afford to offend.
She wore a luxurious black dress with wide sleeves and long flowing hair. In addition to accessories, there was also a shining eye of the rock element god on her waist.
He had no doubt that this was done to show off, so he emptied his family's savings to buy the clothes, because in Inazuma, except for the real dignitaries, the rest of the farmers and workers, no one would dress up like this.
Although the woman was well dressed, she was a foreign tourist after all. She was isolated and helpless here, so he was not afraid of anything. But he thought that the man in black was a high-ranking official of Inazuma. The nature of the two should not be confused.
"We've run into a tough guy." The leader murmured quietly, thinking that if the man didn't come over, he would retreat quickly with his men.
Unexpectedly, things did not go as planned. His subordinates did not have such tact and started cursing, using all kinds of terms such as "gigolo" and "prostitute" to curse at him.
This made the leader feel worried as if a huge rock was pressing down on him. His face turned blue and white in a changing color and he dared not say a word.
Naturally, Mo Ran couldn't tolerate being scolded like that. It was Alice who held him tightly and signaled him not to move, which stopped the process of issuing several disability assessments.
"Haha, do you think that I'm the one being supported?" Alice smiled, but murderous intent was hidden in her slightly closed eyes.
"What else? Which rich woman would like this boy? Hahaha..."
"That's right, or is it that this kid who can't even fart for so long is stronger in other aspects!"
The leader was more and more shocked as he listened, and immediately kicked one of his men down, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, crying, "Sir! Don't listen to the nonsense these brainless guys are talking!"
"I was bewitched by them just now, and that's why I committed this crime. Please be lenient with my sentence. I have a 60-year-old husband and mother at home, and they haven't married yet! Please be lenient with my sentence!"
When he knelt like this, several of his men panicked and quickly knelt down, begging for mercy using the same words.
Mo Ran opened his mouth and said coldly: "Why didn't you think about the elderly at home just now? Why didn't you think about the consequences? You want to turn the page on the wrong things you have done? There is no such easy thing in the world!"
If he let them go, who would be in trouble later? Although Alice would be unharmed even if he was not here today, what if it was just an ordinary person?
What are the consequences? At the very least, you have to pay money to avoid disaster, and at the worst, you may lose your innocence or even your life. This is the current situation when the Inazuma Law is relatively complete and most residents know and abide by the law.
No one knows how much of the world under the sun is dark and unknown, but at least we must eliminate the darkness wherever our eyes reach, our bodies go, and our hearts are directed.
Mo Ran doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, because even if he does this kind of thing day and night, there won't be any progress. But once he comes across it, he can't let it go.
After a moment of silence, officials from the island came over with their guards.
Because they received a tip-off that an elegantly dressed official was coming to the outlying island. Although the Kanjo Bugyo was one of the three major Bugyos, the Hiiragi family, who always treated others with courtesy, was very reasonable.
The current head of the family, Shinsuke Hiiragi, has obeyed the teachings of his ancestors and has always been a good official who respects the wise and humbles himself, works for the benefit of the people, and contributes to the country.
Shinsuke Hiiragi glanced at the people kneeling on the ground. He recognized these little hooligans and knew they would be caught every few days, but what was going on with this man in black and a foreign traveler?
"Haha, you two, if there is any friction or any unpleasant things, you can tell me. My surname is Hiiragi, my given name is Shinsuke, and I am the head of the Hiiragi family. I can do justice for you two!"
Mo Ran didn't say anything, but just took a few steps closer and patted his shoulder gently.
Hiiragi Shinsuke's expression froze, and he quickly bowed and saluted, not daring to raise his head.
Mo Ran pulled Alice towards the street out of the island, and Hiiragi Shinsuke did not stand up until their figures were blocked by buildings.
The butler at the side asked: "Master, what is the identity of that person?"
"I can't say it. I dare not say it." Hiiragi Shinsuke shook his head and looked at the little gangster kneeling on the ground. He had no mercy because it was not worth it.
"You guys, you really deserve this!" Hiiragi Shinsuke sighed and had these hooligans tied up and taken back for punishment.
On the other side, Mo Ran and Alice had already walked out of the island.
The two men seem to be of similar age, but their appearances are worlds apart.
Mo Ran opened his mouth slightly and called out, "Mom."
"Hey, good son." Alice looked at the man in black with loving eyes.
Mo Ran lowered his head slightly, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, his face was full of smiles, as if something great had happened, and he felt extremely happy.
"What are you thinking about? You're smiling so happily." Alice looked up at the man in black and asked with the same smile.
"Just... just happy." Mo Ran's old face turned red. He had lived for thousands of years, but at this moment he was like a babbling child, unable to speak clearly.
Alice covered her mouth and laughed, she laughed so hard that she fell backwards, and said intermittently: "You are the same as your father, hahaha, I can't speak when I see you, ouch, I can't take it anymore, help me up, let me laugh more."
Mo Ran supported her obediently. He still remembered that once, when he almost fell while walking, she supported him in the same way. Her arms at that time were very gentle and reassuring.
"Oh, my son has grown up in the blink of an eye. Just think about how small you were before, lying in the cradle crying and making a fuss."
"When I grew up a little and could talk, the first person I called was mom. When I hid, you couldn't find me, so you crawled on the ground and called me without even looking at the dad next to you!"
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that your unreliable father suddenly disappeared when I was pregnant with little Keli. There was no sign at all. Mom was really scared at the time!"
"Humph, it's all because of that guy in the sky. He's prevented our family of four from being reunited. One day, I'm going to blow that island down!"
Mo Ran listened to Alice for as long as she spoke, without missing a single word. He heard it clearly. Although most of the stories were about his own embarrassing childhood memories, he was very happy to hear them.
Anyway, there is no one around, so you can just listen to it by yourself, but you must not let anyone else know.
Walking on a narrow path, you will occasionally see a few orange-haired foxes basking in the sun on the roadside. Since the chief priest of the Naruto-Oh! Taisha Shrine is a fox, the status of these wild foxes has also risen, and they are fed fat by passers-by.
"son!"
Alice suddenly let go and called out.
Mo Ran turned around and saw a flash of white light in front of him. His mother was holding a camera, and it seemed that it was not an ordinary camera.
"Well, not bad, just like your father, ordinary, but particularly likable." Alice looked at the photo and nodded with satisfaction, then glanced at the long paper that was still bubbling out of the camera and said, "Let me see what you did in Inazuma!"
"Wow, he's been raising Thor ever since he was born, and he also took in Tsurukan and Kaijima, and then he beat up that guy in the sky. Hmm... He's worthy of being my son, he has the demeanor of his mother when she was in heaven and earth. But he's still a little conservative, probably influenced by your father!"
Mo Ran asked curiously, "Mom, what glorious deeds did you do at that time? Tell me about it quickly."
Alice counted on her fingers, listing her high-spirited works one by one: "First, it was the witch meeting at that time. A few good sisters and I traveled around Teyvat together."
"Well, this process is rather boring, so we just skipped it. Later, I clearly created a technological creation that can jump through time and space. After the first time I completed the shuttle, I met your father."
Mo Ran's pupils trembled, and he quickly asked, "Mom, can you also jump timelines?"
"Of course, don't underestimate my mom. She can even jump out of Teyvat!" Alice said playfully with her hands on her hips.
"Where were we just talking about? Oh yeah, I met your dad. I traveled directly to his house and scared him. He was mumbling something, 'The grown-up version of Klee is here?' But it feels a little different."
"I also thought he was weird. How could he know the name I wanted to give my future daughter? After a while, we talked for a long time and found out that the world was not Teyvat."
"It's a spherical world. There's no magic, no elemental forces, but humans use technology to go up to the sky, down to the ground, and into the sea. They are almost omnipotent."
"After your father and I got to know each other, we began traveling together. We left our stories from that world to Teyvat. It wasn't until I became pregnant with you, our son, that we chose a place to settle down."
"But after learning that it was a son, the smile on your father's face instantly disappeared. He sat in front of me and reflected on himself, saying why it wasn't a daughter, why it wasn't little Keli, was he asking for a son to collect a debt?"
"Haha, son, don't worry about it. Mom told him that sons and daughters are all children, and at most you can just have another one, so your dad accepted the reality."
Mo Ran stood there in a daze, as if petrified. The amount of information contained in this passage was too much and too big to be taken in.
"It's better not to say this consolation." Mo Ran murmured softly, then he shook off the psychological trauma left by his unreliable father and asked, "Since he knows about Klee, it means that this game has already been released. But when I jumped off the shuttle, this game obviously didn't exist yet. Isn't that the same world?"
"It's the same world, but not the same timeline." Alice explained slowly: "At the beginning, your father must have been threatened by the guy in the sky, so he used the shuttle machine to escape directly from Teyvat."
"You've fought with that guy before, and you know his methods. If one person doesn't die or doesn't leave, others will be affected. I was pregnant with Ke Li at the time, and your father is just an ordinary person. It seems that there was no other way for him except to run."
"Mom..." Mo Ran wanted to say something to comfort her, but he didn't know where to start. He knew very little about his family.
Alice waved her arm and said with a smile: "It's okay, we will find him one day. Who knows, he may be looking for us too. As long as the two stars are in the same area, their paths will always intersect."
"We can definitely be reunited as a family!"
