Mask: Begins with training with Hibiki

Chapter 165 Survive this year



Chapter 165 Survive this year

As the New Year approaches, Professor Hatoyama's injuries have recovered a lot.

At this time of year in normal times, Jiang Chen would have returned to China, but now Jiang Chen is still staying in Japan. This is not his world, and this is the only year he has not spent at home.

Early in the morning, Jiang Chen and Hibiki took Anda Asume and Kiriya Kyosuke for a walk. Jiang Chen also accompanied the group to a shrine to make a wish.

Walking on the road, Xianggui said with a smile:

"You two made sincere wishes today. What wishes did you make?"

Kiriya Kyosuke was the first to say with a smile:

"My wish is that I can surpass Master Jiang Chen as soon as possible and become a ghost who can stand on my own."

Jiang Chen smiled and patted Kyosuke Kiriya's shoulder, then smiled at Asumeng and asked:

"What about tomorrow's dream? What is your wish?"

Hearing this, Anda Asumi smiled and said:

"My wish is very simple. I want to become a ghost so that I can help Master Xianggui and Brother Jiangchen. Then I can get better grades and become a doctor."

Xianggui smiled and encouraged the two of them:

"These are all very sincere wishes. I wish all your wishes come true."

"Uncle Xiang and Brother Jiang Chen's wishes should also be very good wishes."

Jiang Chen smiled and said:

"Ask Master Xianggui, I am Chinese, and my wishes are not under the control of your gods."

Hearing this, Xianggui smiled and said:

"My wish is to be able to survive this year."

Anda Asumi asked doubtfully:

"Can I survive this year? Why is it such a wish?"

Xianggui smiled and nodded and asked:

"Have you ever thought about your own death?"

"Death? We are still so young, it's not the right time yet."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen smiled and explained:

"I told you before, although ghosts have great power, becoming a ghost also means being accompanied by death."

Xianggui smiled and continued:

"In fact, only when you realize that everyone will die eventually, will you understand the meaning of life."

Hearing this, Kiriya Kyosuke said with a firm look in his eyes:

"I was ready to die at any time. I realized it the moment I became a demon's disciple."

"Even if I'm suddenly attacked by a demonized monster right now, I'll die in vain."

Jiang Chen suddenly asked.

Hearing Jiang Chen's question, Kiriya Kyosuke shook his head instantly and said:

"Master Jiang Chen taught me that as ghosts, it is normal for us to die, but we must never die in vain."

Xianggui smiled and said:

"What is the purpose of living? You will find your own answer in the end, and so will Jiang Chen."

Jiang Chen smiled without saying anything, but just looked into the distance with deep eyes.

Then Jiang Chen smiled and said:

"It's about time, let's go to Tachibana for lunch and enjoy my cooking."

Hearing this, Xianggui laughed and said:

"Go, go, go."

Then he quickly ran towards Jiang Chen's car.

Looking at Xianggui's back, Jiang Chen felt a little emotional. If there had been no demonized monster, Xianggui would have been a very warm uncle.

Even though I don’t know whether I can deal with the big snake, I still love life.

......

"Five wheats and one rice, Master Jiang Chen's cooking skills are still as good as ever."

"Yes, yes, Brother Jiang Chen is a cooking god who was delayed by studying medicine."

Jiang Chen smiled but said nothing. After all, he was also a foreigner who was driven crazy. If he didn't cook, he would be driven crazy sooner or later.

Everyone present knew that they might not be able to outlast the giant snake, so everyone tacitly agreed not to discuss these matters.

Only Tachibana Sechiro looked at Jiang Chen with some emotion and said:

"I really didn't expect this. It's only been such a short time, about a year, and Jiang Chen and Xiao Jing have become qualified ghosts. Jiang Chen has also accepted an apprentice. Jiang Chen Xiang also has two apprentices. It seems like a lot has happened in this short year."

Jiang Chen smiled and said:

"Everything is the best arrangement."

Kasu Miya smiled and said:

"The business in the store has improved a lot this year, and many of the desserts made by Jiang Chen are delicious."

"No, no, that's it."

Kyosuke Kiriya, who was standing by, looked at Asumen Anda and said:

"Let's see who finishes eating first."

Jiang Chen glared at the two of them and said:

"You seem to care a lot about these insignificant wins and losses."

Just as Jiang Chen was about to say something else, Hinajia, who had called Hong Gui, suddenly ran over and said:

"Hong Gui just called and said he encountered a situation."

Jiang Chen stood up with a stern expression, put on his clothes and said:

"Let's go, once we're done with this, bring Hong Gui back with us so we can have a happy new year together."

Then Jiang Chen glared at Kyosuke Kiriya and cursed:

"Don't be like a fighting cock, kid. Don't let me beat you on New Year's Day."

Then Jiang Chen and Xiang Gui immediately ran out the door.

In the midst of the chaos of demonized monsters, the safety of the supporters could no longer be guaranteed, so Kasumi simply did not follow and only took Tachibana Sejiro with him to find out the situation.

Jiang Chen, who is known as the wild driver in the Warrior organization, rushed all the way to the place where Hong Gui was on a mission.

As soon as he got out of the car, Jiang Chen smiled and shouted:

"Hong Gui, what did you find? After you solve it, let's go back and eat."

Hong Gui waved at them hurriedly and said:

"It seemed like the couple Jiang Chen met before. They took me to a place. It was a bit strange. I thought they did it on purpose."

Upon hearing this, Tachibana Sejiro's expression became serious. The two of them told him that the snake was the one. Then he quickly said:

"You can only know anything by going and seeing it. Let's go."

Jiang Chen frowned and asked:

"Is it far from here?"

"There is no road, you need to walk, it's on the mountain."

Jiang Chen sighed and said:

"If we walk, we have to cross mountains and hills, which is slow. Let's fly up."

Jiang Chen then took out his flute sword from the trunk and transformed it into Chen Gui Armor. He carried Tachibana Sejiro on his back and dragged the two of them to the place that Hong Gui said.

After landing, Hong Gui pointed at the stone pillar in front of him and shouted:

"It's here. It seems like they led me here on purpose."

Tachibana Sejiro immediately stepped forward, swept the weeds on the stone pier aside, and slowly read the words on it.

"This is a demon character, which means that this place is a holy place for eradicating the giant snake."

Then Tachibana Sejiro stopped and frowned at the stone pillar in front of him, and Xianggui asked hurriedly:

"Why don't you say it anymore?"

Tachibana Sejiro shook his head and said:

"I don't know the others, I have to go back and look them up in ancient books."

Jiang Chen said nothing during the whole process and just acted as a transport plane, because Jiang Chen was thinking about whether to follow the original work and let the ringing ghost do it, or to do it himself.

He still didn't want Xianggui to take any risks, even though he knew Xianggui would be fine.

A few days later, the text was still being deciphered, and the situation of the demonized monsters appearing in the past few days had also improved. Jiang Chen was sitting in the lobby of Tachibana Dessert Shop drinking tea.

Kiriya Kyosuke suddenly ran to the front of Jiang Chen in a hurry and looked at Jiang Chen with sharp eyes and shouted:

"Master Jiang Chen, I have dropped out of school. I want to follow you closely. Please train me well."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen stared at the front of him in amazement, stretched out his hand to touch it, and then said to himself:

"Is this kid okay? Why are you talking nonsense? I don't know if I like to beat people who talk nonsense?"
