Chapter 1074: The First Time I Didn't Want to Be Someone Else's Dad
Chi Feichei ignored the group of believers whose style was a bit strange, looking at Joshua's face, thoughts rapidly flashed through his mind.
The first: Joshua really became younger. If people in the dreamscape can change due to the interference of power, Koizumi Akako might really have become a 'rainbow face'.
The second: Joshua was quite handsome when he was young. He had seen it in Joshua's 'Issho scene', but the Joshua in front of him seemed to have been given a bit of a 'Charm Attribute'. Although it was still the same face, there was a sacred feeling about him.
The third: Probably because he was used to seeing the Old Man, the current Joshua felt very unfamiliar...
"Click."
The door was gently closed.
Joshua spoke carefully, his young voice still carrying a gentle magnetic quality, "My Master, before listening to your instruction, please allow me to do something impolite. Just now, in front of the Children, I maintained my calm and dignified appearance, but before you, I want to cast aside all insincere disguises and pretense, and show you a heart as pure and sincere as a Child's."
Chi Feichei listened to Joshua's young voice, feeling a bit unaccustomed, "Be casual."
Joshua's eyes lit up. He stood up and began to laugh silently, starting to jump around wildly.
Chi Feichei: "..."
(#－.－)
Like a Child?
Any child like this would have been sent to a mental hospital long ago.
This was the first time he didn't want to be someone else's dad!
One minute, two minutes...
Joshua showed no intention of stopping, jumping and hopping, his movements completely chaotic, his face twisted with excitement.
Chi Feichei watched quietly: "..."
It's over, completely crazy.
Joshua jumped for a while, then ran to the wall, hit his head against the wall twice, raised his hand to tidy his messy hair and collar, then returned to the blanket and sat down, adjusting his breath, his countenance gradually becoming peaceful, "My supreme Master, for many years now, decay has taken root deep within my body, corroding every corner of my body little by little. My hand and foot gradually became heavy and sluggish, my mind also started to become clumsy and slow, my eyes and ears were no longer as agile as before, and even sleeping lacked the stable and sweet quality of my youth. I detested the increasingly heavy twilight aura on my body, yet I was powerless to resist the shackles that time placed upon me, I could only accept and get used to it. After meeting you, I often regretted that I dedicated my youth to a void Faith, but the Master never minded me returning to the Master's side with an aging body. My disloyalty and injustice to the Master made me frustrated, and my inability to change my past foolish choice made me frustrated..."
Chi Feichei: "..."
If the Joshua in front of him was still in his previous Old Man appearance, he would think it was normal for someone older to be talkative and would be more tolerant. But the young Joshua in front of him was nagging like an old mom, which was already strange enough. Coupled with the connection to 'Religion', the more he looked, the more something felt wrong, everything felt wrong.
Then the problem arises, on the journey to the West, how did Sun Wukong manage to resist beating Tang Sanzang to death with a stick?
Joshua's gaze was devout as he stared at the Eye Pattern, "I pray constantly, if there was one opportunity in life to choose, I would not hesitate to dedicate my Issho to you. Now this long-cherished wish has been realized, Joshua thanks the Master for the bestowal."
"Joshua..."
Chi Feichei paused. It wasn't to keep them in suspense, but to recall if there was anything else he needed to find Joshua for besides confirming Joshua's state. This fellow had been muttering for a long time, almost making him forget what he wanted to say to Joshua, "Dream Inception is over. Let everyone have Freedom of Activity in three days. Someone will contact you these few days, please cooperate and provide hair and blood sample."
The young Joshua's eyes were peaceful and sincere, "Okay, my Master."
"Don't be so talkative in the future, just say what needs to be said!"
Chi Feichei finally couldn't help but say a sentence, cut off the communication, and restored his Eyes to their original state.
Besides giving him a headache when chatting, there was nothing to worry about with Joshua. Let Joshua go and cause disaster... no, go and deceive... no, let him develop the Religion freely, that's enough.
Next was Koizumi Akako.
As soon as the phone call connected, Koizumi Akako said faintly, "Can I go beat Kaito?"
"Be casual, I have something else to do."
As soon as Chi Feichei heard this, he knew that Koizumi Akako had also become a rainbow face in reality, and it could subside, so the situation wasn't very serious.
Joshua had successfully made him lose his desire to socialize, and he didn't want to talk to Koizumi Akako anymore.
"Beep... beep..."
Listening to the busy tone from the other end of the phone call, Koizumi Akako was momentarily stunned, almost throwing her mobile phone out. She suppressed her anger and redialed.
What was the Child of Nature calling for? Couldn't he ask about her situation?
Also, she hadn't finished speaking!
Chi Feichei answered the phone call, "Is there anything else?"
Koizumi Akako was quite angry, "You're irresponsible!"
Chi Feichei didn't intend to argue with Koizumi Akako, "Then what do you want me to do?"
"You..." Koizumi Akako stabbed Chi Feichei's Paper Doll in her heart. She didn't dare to actually stab him, lest she turn into some weird appearance again, "I wanted to tell you that my Bloodline seems to have changed, there's a bit of atavism. It should be because I went to your Space... But, because this ruined my beauty, I'm still not happy!"
"You can go beat Kaito," Chi Feichei suggested.
"Beep... beep..."
Koizumi Akako: "..."
Hmph, she'll go beat Kaito...
No, with this face, she can't go out, she doesn't want to go out.
Ah, so annoying!
The evil and hateful Child of Nature, when he needed her to keep him company in the Space, he lectured her on math problems and talked about the Seven Deadly Sins, and when he didn't need her, he instantly hung up on her phone call!
Chi Feichei hung up the phone call and, while trying to see if he could pull Koizumi Akako into the Space in his Left Eye, he dialed Chi Shinnosuke's phone call.
The attempt failed, Koizumi Akako couldn't get in.
The phone call did connect.
"What is it?" Chi Shinnosuke asked.
"My power brought some transformation to Joshua. Find people to collect hair and blood sample from him. Noah has the contact information."
"I understand."
"Beep... beep..."
Chi Feichei: "..."
It was still more convenient to communicate with his cheap Old Dad.
Next, Chi Feichei used his Left Eye Unnamed Long-Distance Communicator to contact Feimo, Fei Li, Nameless, and Jubei.
Because of the recent Collective Dream Inception, he instructed the other groups in the Dream Inception to pay attention to safety, preferably gather together, and not go swimming or run to dangerous places, lest they accidentally die after being pulled into the dreamscape.
Now that the Dream Inception should be over, he could practice his Left Eye Skill while notifying the other creatures – lower to Level 2 Alert State, wait three days, and if nothing happens, they can have Freedom of Activity.
Calculating the time, Tuanzi's museum had already opened, so he didn't contact Tuanzi.
According to the situation feedback from everyone, there was indeed an Eye Brand on every animal, located at the chest, but the color and size were very hidden.
The pattern on Jubei was covered by hair. If it wasn't for his chest feeling hot and his reminder, Jubei wouldn't have discovered the extra Eye Pattern on his body. So there was no need to worry about the Eye Pattern appearing on Tuanzi causing a commotion, and thus no need to contact Tuanzi.
Thinking carefully, Tuanzi was also very special. In the 'Punishment' Scene of the Seven Deadly Sins, Tuanzi had nothing to do with it at all. As expected of a creature that can survive just by acting cute.
Thinking more carefully, Joshua was also very special. Probably because the human group was originally the 'Spirit of All Under Heaven', his Left Eye changed not long after they met, and this time, after a round ended, it was also Joshua who got the benefit first.
An hour later, Chi Feichei finished his communication, washed up and returned to the room, cleaned up Feichi's snakeskin, ground it into powder, and put it into capsules. He also helped Feichi measure his length and circumference again, and weighed his body weight.
Feichi saw Chi Feichei recording data in the Pet Handbook and climbed off the scale himself, "Master, Master, how is it? How much have I grown?"
"Your length has hardly changed," Chi Feichei finished recording the data and put Feichi's Pet Handbook back in the drawer, "You just got fat."
Got fat...
Feichi choked, and seriously corrected, "Master, can you say I got stronger?"
"Oh, then I apologize, you got stronger."
Chi Feichei didn't care about whether it was fat or strong, and changed his words with a calm face, taking out his mobile phone.
Feichi: "..."
Felt like he was being perfunctory.
Chi Feichei sent a UL message to Sawada Hiroki.
[Noah, are there any classes I can audit at the university near Beihu Town recently?]
Every time he finished talking with Joshua, he wanted to isolate himself.
When he isolated himself, he wanted to audit classes.
If the god Joshua once believed in truly existed, the reason Joshua was abandoned was definitely because he was rambling.
"Ding dong!"
Sawada Hiroki, who was usually on the internet, replied instantly:
[Godfather wants to audit classes? Then you've asked the right person. I've been listening to program design courses from various countries on students' mobile phones when I'm free recently, trying to seek inspiration. It's more convenient for Godfather to go to Todai University. The courses you can audit at Todai University include today's 10 AM...]
Following was a list of courses, with all types of courses.
"Ding dong!"
[Other schools: Teitan University, there's one at 9 AM today...]
"Ding dong!"
[No need to audit computer, software, or similar classes, find me if you need anything.]
[OK.]
Chi Feichei started choosing classes.
Sawada Hiroki was right, it was more suitable for him to audit classes at Todai University, not only because he was a Todai University Graduate, but most importantly, he was familiar with the place and knew the location of the teaching building.
However, suitable courses were hard to choose.
Recently, Veterinary Surgery only had introductory courses, Pass.
Courses related to pharmaceuticals were too in-depth and specifically targeted, not matching his research, Pass.
Then he would look for introductory courses in other departments to get a superficial knowledge...
...
That afternoon, Chi Feichei went out with Feichi tucked away, heading to Todai University to audit classes.
The classes Sawada Hiroki helped him choose were all large lectures with many people.
One introductory anthropology lecture, one french literature class, and one japanese history class, which could fill the entire afternoon.
In advance, he explained the situation to the teacher, being polite and courteous. He found a seat in the back of the classroom and sat down. Listening to the teacher lecture was much more comfortable than having Joshua's rambling echoing in his mind, and it could effectively dilute Joshua's impact on him.
The next day morning, Chi Feichei woke up early and finished his morning exercise with Feichi, then continued to audit classes. After three classes, the morning was over, and he left the school, preparing to find a shop nearby for lunch.
From the memory of his Original Consciousness, he found a street near Todai University that few people went to except on holidays. It was very deserted, but small as a sparrow, it was complete with all internal organs. There were restaurants, clothing stores, and convenience stores, making it very suitable for a quiet lunch.
Chi Feichei followed the route in his memory, walking through the alley to that quiet street. Just as he exited the alley entrance, he heard a loud shout.
"Danger!"
The voice was a bit familiar.
Soon, three people were tackled onto the street in front of the alley entrance.
"Boom!"
There was the sound of impact and collapse from the shop on the left hand side, and a sudden brake sound.
In front of the alley, Mori Kogoro tackled Conan and Mouri Ran, protecting them with his body. After the broken brick and broken glass fell, he immediately stood up and ran away, "Damn it! Stop right there!"
Chi Feichei looked at Mouri Ran and Conan who were sitting up from the ground, was silent for a moment, walked out of the alley, stopped in front of the two people, bent down and reached out.
He just came out to eat, and he could encounter the Death God Elementary School Student pounce and block his way. He didn't know if his luck was good or bad.
"Ah, thank you!"
"Thank you..."
Mouri Ran and Conan grabbed the hand extended in front of them, stood up, and looked up.
Conan: "!"
Σ(дlll)
Why did Chi Feichei suddenly appear again? Where did he come from?!
