(*´∀`)ノ Offering to you today the true essence of Zero Island.

Zero Island is known as the land of the Gods, with over 70% of the general populace holding faith in the eight million deities.

Though most people only occasionally utter “Lord of God bless us,” we should still respect their customs, ya know~

·

The Wandering Forest earned its name because people often get lost in it.

Geographers explain this phenomenon as an optical illusion caused by the varying elevations within the forest, which can easily lead to disorientation.

However, the local elders firmly believe that it’s the playful Lord of God who hides the paths with leaves and branches, chuckling at the lost from atop the trees.

Young tourists tend to dismiss feudal superstitions, so they often get lost due to optical illusions.

But, those born and raised locally believe in the stories relayed by their grandparents.

They usually carry some food or small gifts to offer before the statue of the Wandering God.

Perhaps a psychological effect clears the disorientation, as they generally find navigating the forest to be rather smooth.

“To the Wandering God, we offer these gifts; please ensure that neither we nor our guests get lost in the woods.”

Clap, clap.

A lollipop is placed before the stone statue of the child, followed by two claps as a gesture of respect.

The Wandering God of the Wandering Forest is but a child sorting beans.

As a manifested deity of the present, she should neither need to be reverenced nor offered gifts.

But still, it’s important to show respect to the Lord of God.

Always be kind to others, and turn misfortune into prosperity—this is the lesson taught by grandma.

Those who commit evils may have their momentary triumphs, but calamity will eventually fall upon them; the honest may occasionally suffer harm, but good fortune will surely look after them.

The transformation and evolution of Huojin and Zhi Pi manifest an unpredictable destiny, but it contains nothing more than a simple truth: “karmic justice” that people often mention.

People living atop the corpse of the Calamity God must find it difficult to hold awe for the divine.

Hope the newcomers aren’t all like Uncle Yan; that’d spell trouble.

“One more minute.”

She crunched the candy in her mouth, its sweetness spreading with a crisp sound.

Anxious yet somewhat excited—what kind of person will Uncle Yan’s acquaintance be?

Someone from the City of Skies, could they be someone whose body is modified to a monstrous form?

Surely it can’t be someone stranger than a ninja…

She looked up at the starry sky, where two dark spots expanded visibly to the naked eye, alongside the whooshing sound came growing arguments—

”I’m going to land using telekinesis; if you don’t want to twist your neck, stop wriggling!” “Your telekinesis just made me swallow a mouthful of wind!” “So shall I withdraw my telekinetic protection and watch you freefall?” “Shut up and let my Shadow Orchid handle the landing!” “I won’t give you a chance to roam freely at night.” “You—””Be quiet first—”

……Hey, you’re less than five meters from the ground.

Landing like this will create a “boom” and a crater for sure, and the Wandering God will undoubtedly start bawling.

Plus, what about stealth?

It’s easy to imagine headlines like “Meteor strike in the southern part of Purple Island.”

Just as she was ready to step in and help, the two odd characters carrying suitcases slowed their descent abruptly, landing silently and defying all logic.

They pointed at each other the moment they touched down, whispering in childish tones, “Don’t you know what a secret mission is?!” x 2

I bet neither of you understand.

Here we go, just like Uncle Yan’s friends.

Seems like I’m in for a tough few days.

The two oddballs noticed her; it’s time to say hello.

Alright, take a deep breath and show them the composure of the Seven Luminaries Divine Sect!

She flashed a hearty smile and gave them a thumbs-up.

“I thought you’d be weirder than ninjas, but you’re just fools!”

Oh no.

I accidentally spoke my mind—!

Gongsun Ce (disguised as a programmer) frowned and said, “Look, now you’ve made us look like fools.”

Shiyu Ling (disguised as a bride) retorted coldly, “I’ll send that comment right back at you.”

The person who had exclaimed “fools” stood in the forest, unclear in sight, but apparently a female from her voice.

Gongsun Ce checked his phone for the contact code through the Qiluo app, inquiring, “Good evening, ma’am.

Could you please provide the password?”

”Just a sec, let me check…

6T7H8FDRE999CFE.” Along with the sound of unfolding a piece of paper, the contact responded.

The password was confirmed, but Gongsun Ce decided to take extra precautions.

He signaled to his “lover,” and Shiyu Ling, with a smile, inquired, “Thanks!

By the way, do you happen to know my name?”

”I only have info on your disguised identities,” replied the contact, seemingly puzzled, “Sirang Electronics’ programmer couple, Goro Nakamoto and Xuejian Lingzi.

Apart from knowing you’re friends of Uncle Yan, your real names and identities are a mystery to me.”

Uncle Yan must mean Yan Qi.

Ha, you finally got called “uncle” by a girl; that’s hilarious.

So far, everything matches, but if we’re halfway and suddenly eight hundred axe-wielding men appear, we’ll just have to improvise.

“Thanks for your cooperation, ma’am.

As you can see, I am Goro Nakamoto from Sirang Electronics.

Just call me Goro!” His tone grew livelier towards the end.

“The term ‘ma’am’ is a bit embarrassing,” she said, sounding rather sheepish.

She stepped out from the forest to reveal herself to the two.
