After Xiao Yu closed the Life Eye, the world in his eyes once again became colorful and vivid. His gaze then turned to the comatose Zhu Simiao.
The passage of time was gradual, but suddenly, Zhu Simiao, who had previously lain motionless on the bed, began to show signs of stirring as his eyelids twitched slightly. Xiao Yu recognized this as a sign that he was about to awaken and thus turned around to open the ward’s door.
"Xiao Yu, how is it going" As soon as Xiao Yu opened the ward's door, an anxious voice could be heard from outside asking him.
"Auntie, Uncle Zhu, my second brother will be waking up any moment now!" Hearing this question, Xiao Yu looked at the two people anxiously waiting and said with a hint of joy on his face.
"Ah, really!" Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, the two outside the door immediately rushed into the ward in excitement. When they heard that their son was about to wake up, they let out an exclamation of surprise and quickly entered the room without another word for Xiao Yu.
At this moment, it wasn't just Zhu Jianhua waiting outside; a woman around forty years old was also anxiously waiting there. This woman was Zhu Simiao's mother Liu Ping. Ever since her son fell into a coma, she had taken care of him herself.
When she returned from the washroom and noticed that her husband Zhu Jianhua was waiting anxiously outside the ward, she initially thought something might have happened to their son. However, when she heard Xiao Yu treating her son after approaching, her heart tightened with concern.
To understand, Xiao Yu was their last hope. If he couldn't revive her son, it would seem there would be no chance of her son waking up ever again. Upon hearing what her husband said about Xiao Yu, Liu Ping immediately began anxiously waiting outside the ward.
Now that they heard their son was going to wake up, they were naturally very excited and rushed into the room without bothering with Xiao Yu.
In the ward, Zhu Simiao, who had been in a coma for over two months, slowly opened his eyes. Zhu Simiao's bewildered gaze swept around the unfamiliar surroundings of the room.
"Son"
"Simiao"
Zhuo Jianhua and Liu Ping entered the ward, and they immediately saw Zhuo Simiao who had already woken up. Unable to suppress their excitement any longer, the two of them shouted at Zhuo Simiao.
While Zhuo Simiao was looking around, he suddenly heard familiar voices calling out to him. When he turned to see his parents standing before him, a look of surprise appeared on his face as he said, "Dad, Mom, why are you here in Xiangxi"
"Stupid son," upon hearing Zhuo Simiao's words, the couple, Zhuo Jianhua and wife, were momentarily stunned but then explained.
Xiao Yu had been standing at the door without entering the ward. He knew how the Zhuos felt, so he let them reunite as a family first.
"Xiao Yu, how is Simiao doing" As Xiao Yu was waiting by the entrance, the two elder Mr. Zhuo also rushed over quickly. When Zhuo Jianhua arrived earlier, he had already called these two people. After receiving the call, they hadn't wasted any time and came straight away.
"The two elders, Second Brother has woken up!" Upon hearing their question, Xiao Yu nodded at them.
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, both of them brightened visibly. Although Xiao Yu had said that Zhuo Simiao could wake up on his own or he would find a way to help if it came down to it, they hadn't really harbored much hope for either possibility in their hearts. In their view, if Zhuo Simiao were to regain consciousness, it would be nothing short of a miracle.
Moreover, they had thought that even if Xiao Yu could find a way to save Zhuo Simiao, he wouldn't know when such a method might become available; they never expected that Xiao Yu found a solution within two months.
At this moment, the ward was quiet. Zhuo Simiao knew now that he was in Beijing and began recalling what had happened back then.
It turned out that when it all started, he and some colleagues organized a medical team to go into the mountains to help the villagers there with their health issues. But upon arriving at the mountain area, they suddenly encountered heavy fog, leading them to become separated within this thick mist. Afterward, however, Zhuo Simiao had no memory of what transpired.
"Third Brother, thank you~!" Looking at Xiao Yu who entered together with the two elder Mr. Zhuo, Zhuo Simiao immediately expressed his gratitude.
Zhuo Simiao now knew that not only did Xiao Yu go to Xiangxi and bring him back, but he was also saved by Xiao Yu from falling into a coma. Therefore, in Zhuo Simiao's heart, he was extremely grateful towards Xiao Yu. He understood that mentioning this gratitude might seem like overstepping their relationship, but yet again, he could not help but say it because he didn't know how else to thank him.
Hearing Zhuo Simiao's words of thanks, Xiao Yu smiled and nodded without saying anything else, effectively accepting the gratitude. This made Zhuo Simiao feel considerably better emotionally.
The two chatted for a while, and Xiao Yu then got up to take his leave, leaving time for them as a family. Besides, Zhuo Simiao's health was perfectly fine.
The Zhuo family tried their best to keep Xiao Yu from leaving, but it had been quite some time since he last returned home, so this time he wanted to spend quality time with his family. Moreover, there were still matters concerning Zhao Lingyun that weighed on his mind.
Two days flew by, and now Xiao Yu appeared once again in the canteen.
In Li Suijun's room, Xiao Yu sat cross-legged opposite him on a dirt bed. On their table was a thick stack of documents collected by underground fighters who had been infiltrating Japan over these past two days.
"Xiao Yu, I've looked through most of these intelligence reports and found them largely useless; however, this one might be somewhat helpful—take a look!" Li Suijun handed Xiao Yu one document from the pile as he spoke to him.
After hearing Li Suijun's words, Xiao Yu silently took the materials to read through.
This document contained some information about Ikeno Seikai. It said that Ikeno belonged to the direct lineage of the emperor. However, it was unclear why he had been demoted by the Japanese emperor to oversee Yasukuni Shrine since its construction and remained there until today.
Ikeno Seikai is now in his nineties but has always stayed at Yasukuni Shrine without ever leaving.
However, these documents contained little information about Zhao Lingyun. After all, more than twenty years had passed, so most people had long forgotten the incident.
The information about Ikeno Seikai was similar to that in Musashi Ichiro's memory, but according to Musashi Ichiro’s recollections, Ikeno didn't get demoted; instead, he volunteered for the position of overseeing Yasukuni Shrine. The reason behind it was unknown. And back then, he had entrusted Zhao Lingyun to Ikeno Seikai.
Xiao Yu compared this document with Musashi Ichiro’s memories in his mind but couldn’t find any useful information from them.
Suddenly, Xiao Yu noticed a sentence at the very bottom of the document. It stated that Ikeno would take some death row inmates to Yasukuni Shrine. However, when these prisoners emerged the next day, they were all dead.
Upon seeing this record, Xiao Yu suddenly recalled Ikeno Seikai's identity as a 'great yin-yang master'!
"Could there be a secret about the Yasukuni Shrine Toilet" When Xiao Yu thought of Ampi Jinghai's profile, this idea suddenly popped into his mind. Otherwise, he couldn't imagine why Ampi Jinghai would voluntarily guard the Yasukuni Shrine Toilet.
Moreover, in Musashi Ichiro’s memory, Zhao Lingyun was sent into the Yasukuni Shrine Toilet by him.
"Grandpa Li, I plan to go to Japan for a trip!" When Xiao Yu thought of this, he raised his head and firmly said to Li Suijun.
Once he felt that there should be a secret about the Yasukuni Shrine Toilet, he couldn't help but want to investigate it. After all, it was where his father disappeared last, and he must find Ampi Jinghai! Only he knew whether Zhao Lingyun lived or died.
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Li Suijun was stunned for a moment. He hadn't expected that Xiao Yu would want to investigate the Yasukuni Shrine Toilet. Knowing that although Xiao Yu’s skills were good, they weren’t much in front of some people, and these people could even take his life with just a flick of their fingers. Moreover, Ampi Jinghai also had another identity—'Yin-Yang Master'!
The profession of Yin-Yang Masters was similar to that of Qi Men cultivators; they were all mysterious beings unknown to ordinary people. These individuals weren’t only enigmatic but also very strange and beyond the capabilities of ordinary people to deal with, which is why he froze when he heard Xiao Yu wanted to go to Japan. Xiao Yu’s maternal grandfather had only him as a successor, so he couldn't let Xiao Yu take such risks. Besides, he didn't know how to explain these mysterious matters to Xiao Yu.
After all, traditional martial arts were still understandable because they had existed since ancient times. However, Qi Men cultivators weren’t known by the world, especially not to young people like Xiao Yu who received education that made them distant from such matters. So he didn't know how to explain it to him.
Li Suijun pondered for a moment before slowly raising his head and saying, "Xiao Yu, going to Japan is really too dangerous. Moreover, there are many mysterious things in this world that aren’t known by you, sometimes the talk about ghosts and gods isn't baseless!"
"Grandpa Li,"
Hearing Li Suijun's words, Xiao Yu wanted to speak but was interrupted by a wave of the hand from Li Suijun. Li Suijun looked at Xiao Yu and continued, "Xiao Yu, listen to me, your skills might not be weak for your generation, but when it comes to older generations, you’re still no match for them. So let's send someone else to Japan to investigate!"
Xiao Yu didn't know about some mysterious forces, but he knew that they existed and thus couldn’t let Xiao Yu take the risk. Besides, it was said that Ampi Jinghai was one of the most mysterious Great Yin-Yang Masters in Japan.
They had sent many people to investigate this Yasukuni Shrine Toilet, yet none returned. Moreover, some of these individuals were experts. Therefore, he naturally didn’t want Xiao Yu to go there.
"Grandpa Li, no need. This time I must go personally!" Upon hearing Li Suijun's words, Xiao Yu firmly shook his head and said.i, you stay here and keep watch. I’ll go find someone to seal this door again!""Alright... But Old Zhang, did you notice The yin煞qi in this room is much denser than when we were here last time. I’m af...
