I Can See Health Bars in Real Life-Chapter 410 - 36: Take a Good Look at This World (Part 3)

Chapter 410: Chapter 36: Take a Good Look at This World (Part 3)

"No, the real Dream City is hidden in the reflection on the lake’s surface, and the reflection is just the entrance to the barrier. I’ve already taken the mirror, which is the body..." Gu Mo responded decisively, "Even if they drain the lake, they won’t find anything."

Besides, even the multi-headed serpent is probably long gone without a trace. Whether it’s Inuyasha’s Wind Injury or Sesshomaru’s final actions, the result is the same... After such a long time, what could possibly be found?

So there’s really nothing to worry about.

The witch nodded slightly; this would indeed be the best outcome. Previously, fighting the demon Kaguya in the city was unavoidable, but if there were a choice, she still hoped the world could stay as it is now... It may not be perfect, but it’s definitely much better than the Warring States Era.

Gu Mo thought seriously for a moment, then glanced around the environment and asked, "Anyway, Kikyo, where do you want to go now? Is there any place you want to see? Or I can recommend something..."

"No need, let’s go back," Kikyo said plainly.

"Going back already?"

Gu Mo blinked, is curiosity so easily satisfied?

The witch remained calm and silent, just slightly determined the direction, lightly waved her hand, and several slender creatures with delicate wings and claws, resembling miniature flying dragons, the Death Soul Worms, accompanied by a gentle glow, were summoned by her.

"Ahem, um... I can’t fly."

Gu Mo looked at the number of Death Soul Worms, coughed lightly, and seriously pointed it out.

The witch turned towards him, silently watching while slightly furrowing her brow. However, with the other’s calm demeanor and unwavering gaze directly meeting hers, showing no sign of guilt, quite a while passed like this.

Eventually, Kikyo was the first to look away. She summoned a few more Death Soul Worms, speaking in an indifferent tone:

"Get on."

...

...

Returning from Yamanashi Prefecture to Tokyo isn’t too far, especially in a straight line...

Even if the Death Soul Worms were inadequate, they were still faster than ordinary transportation.

Though flying so openly in broad daylight in the modern world was a bit brazen, the witch’s barrier ensured they wouldn’t be exposed, so naturally, there was no problem. So, shortly after, the Death Soul Worms carried them back to the front of the Himura Shrine, gently landing.

The streets were spacious on both sides, but much quieter than usual and without many pedestrians.

Probably due to the previous bombing incident in the city center and the appearance of demons, which had some impact and influence, most citizens naturally felt anxious and fearful.

Standing before the long and wide stone steps, Kikyo gazed up at the torii at the top. Although the main building of the shrine could not be seen, the Divine Wood was still very prominent... for some reason, however, she stopped and did not proceed up, instead furrowing her brows gently.

Gu Mo diverted some of his spiritual power over to detect the situation and immediately understood what was going on.

Observing the witch’s expression, he chuckled and said, "Still haven’t gone back... Is it because they can’t rest easy with the disturbances in the modern world, or are they deliberately waiting for us?"

Or perhaps both.

The Big Dog did not hesitate to leave when things did not go as planned, presumably returning to the Warring States Era to chase Todouji and continue pursuing his dream of the demon blade... But Inuyasha and Himura Kagome remained in the modern shrine, even though several days had passed.

Perhaps they knew the two wanted to travel through time again and needed the dry well in the shrine, so whether Inuyasha wanted an explanation or Himura Kagome wanted to get clear answers about the modern world, they were waiting here for them to come over?

"We might as well go directly, at most just pass through the shrine and pay a toll, or worst come to worst, have another fight..."

Gu Mo proactively suggested.

"No need..." The witch shook her head slightly, lowering her eyes.

"Then... should we sneak through?" Gu Mo blinked, offering another suggestion, "But they’re right next to the shrine, and Miss Himura’s spiritual power is also strong; she might not be affected by your barrier, so we might not be able to hide from her..."

It wasn’t just very likely, nor just uncertain; it was a definite thing.

Apart from her temperament and experience being less than the witch’s, Himura Kagome’s ability template was a complete replica of Kikyo’s, and her spiritual power and sense were keen and frighteningly sharp. Even though she didn’t yet understand how to better use this power inherited across eras, her instinctive waste and simple usage already made her very strong.

Kikyo probably thought of this and seemed to deliberate seriously about it.

"Or..." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Gu Mo smiled at the witch, waving an index finger gently at her.

"We actually have plenty of time; why not take a good look at this world? They can’t wait there forever, can they?"

"Hmm?"

The witch lightly raised her brow, looking up at him.

......

At the same time.

"Inuyasha, put on your hat... don’t get spotted."

At the Himura Shrine, the sailor-suited girl handed a sun hat to a disgruntled Inuyasha, telling him to wear it. After all, the most recognizable feature of a half-demon was the pair of dog ears on his head; as long as these were covered, he wouldn’t be so conspicuous.

"I know, I know..."

Inuyasha wore the hat impatiently, then sneezed and turned his head.

The shrine was usually a bit desolate, and often not many visitors would come in a day. However, perhaps the recent events were too shocking, causing many citizens to feel uneasy, so the past two days have seen people coming occasionally to the shrine to pray for blessings.

Just like the man-eating mask incident previously, which happened nearby and with the number of victims increasing, bad rumors spread constantly... Even after resolving it, the shrine’s incense remained prosperous for a while. Unaware of the inside story, grandpa even muttered optimistically that the shrine showed promise for revival.

So, during Inuyasha’s stay in the modern world, naturally, he needed to disguise himself. Although with no leads, the previous incidents hadn’t implicated the shrine here, Himura Kagome still felt a bit of crisis.

Sitting with her knees hugged beside Inuyasha, the sailor-suited girl hesitated as she looked at him but ultimately said nothing.

She gently pursed her lips, glancing furtively at Inuyasha’s neck, which was empty.

The string had snapped and couldn’t be reconnected unless she made a new set of Word Spirit Beads for Inuyasha.

......

Outside the window was an endless clear sky, making one feel the essence of summer.

The witch gazed at the receding scenery outside the opposite window, showing a surprised expression and involuntarily turning to look out the window behind her.

"This is a train... it’s a fairly convenient means of transportation."

Sitting in the seat beside her, Gu Mo introduced with a smile, "On normal days, it might be more crowded, but these days it may seem much emptier, just like the empty streets we saw before; at least Tokyo has been greatly affected..."

It’s not necessarily the impact of their fight with Kaguya but more importantly the US Army’s bombing incident on the streets of Tokyo. For the former, citizens who didn’t witness it firsthand might think of it as a dream, but the latter was indeed reported on the news, inciting tremendous fear and panic.

The most direct example is the deserted streets, and the train is equally empty; the car they were sitting in only had the two of them.

"This is indeed quite nice..." Kikyo nodded slightly, gazing at the rapidly receding objects outside the window and the city’s scenery along the way.

After hesitating slightly, she still asked, "Where are we heading then?"

"I don’t know."

"Hmm?" The witch looked at him in confusion.

"Just take a good look at this world; there’s no need to limit yourself to a destination. If you want, Kikyo, you can go anywhere you wish, or we can travel every corner of this planet..." Gu Mo smiled gently, also looking at the receding scenery outside the window.

Be it the Four Souls Jade or Naraku’s schemes...

Isn’t this much more interesting than the Warring States Era five hundred years ago?
