Chapter 118 The Forgotten Promise

A long time ago, at the bottom of the lake of Natsugawa lived the village's patron saint, the Summer Watching Dragon.

But one day, a dispute broke out among the villagers, which polluted the village's forest and lake. So the dragon became angry and attacked the village.

Later, the heroes in the village built this ancestral hall and sealed the dragon in the colorful light.

The villagers vowed never to damage the environment again and wished to worship the Watching Dragon of Summer for generations to come.

This was an ancient promise passed down from generation to generation in Natsukawa Village, but the villagers have gradually forgotten the tragedy of the past and regarded it as just an ancient story.

Even the old village chief, who still believed in the promise, still had a lucky mentality and prayed that the Summer Watching Dragon really never existed.

But unfortunately, the Dragon God was angry.

Hong Tu reappeared quietly by the lake. No one noticed that the young man had just disappeared. It took a long time before he reappeared. They seemed to have not noticed the young man. They were busy, joking, talking to each other, and looking forward to today. Have a bonfire party at night, or just watch the excitement, hoping to see the legendary dragon.

Hong Tu began to walk back. He had already seen the dragon living here, and his goal was achieved. The only pity was that after his judgment, he could not directly turn it into a card and take it away.

So, it’s better to leave quickly. After all, this place will be burned down by the Dragon God soon.

Unexpectedly, when he came out, he would see Kaito and Mizuki standing in front of the village chief, talking about something.

"It's you who are stupid enough to be fooled!" The man who seemed to be the village chief's son stood up excitedly and said confidently without giving up on the two of them.

"Stop talking!" The village chief grabbed his son and pulled him behind him. He looked at the two people in front of him with some helplessness, some guilt, and some fear.

He knew that his son was doing it for the good of the village and wanted the village to develop. He also knew that this might not be the right thing to do, but...he really had no other choice. As the village chief, he must be responsible for the development of the village.

The man angrily threw away the village chief's hand and left.

"Sorry," the village chief looked around to make sure no one was paying attention, then looked at the two of them: "There is an annual bonfire party tonight, and many tourists from Tokyo will come, so if they know that the dragon is fake …”These tourists will leave, and the village will completely cease to function.

Tourists passed by him one after another. The village chief looked at the scene of people coming and going as if he saw hope.

This is really their village's last hope.

Hong Tu looked at the sky and saw that it was getting dark and it was almost dark. The Dragon God's patience was about to run out.

But it was the village chief's son who ran out of patience first. He angrily came to the dragon's ancestral hall and pulled off the rope above.

The dragon at the bottom of the lake felt that the ancestral hall had been destroyed, and his anger became even higher. A column of water rose into the sky from the lake, scaring the surrounding tourists.

Hong Tu turned his head slightly. He could hear the roar of the dragon and the panic of the tourists, mixed with the ethereal and soothing voice of a girl.

"Xia Zhiwang, I'm sorry, please wait. I have already told someone and he will help us."

The dragon seemed to be comforted by the girl, and lay back at the bottom of the lake, becoming quiet again.

Hong Tu was a little surprised. She didn't expect that girl to be able to appease the anger of the god. It seemed that the dragon really cared about her.

But this has nothing to do with him. The girl's light is indeed very beautiful, a bit like Mami's light, but it cannot be collected, no matter how beautiful it is, it is useless.

The young man stopped staying and walked towards Kaito and Mizuki who had already seen him.

"How about it?"

"That video is fake. Ellie has already analyzed it. The things in the video are man-made." Ruixi explained, "Moreover, there are no signs of large biological activity at the bottom of the lake."

"Then go back now?" Hong Tu already knew that they couldn't find him, so he wasn't surprised.

"Hmm..." Kaito nodded, and the three of them walked towards the parking area.

Suddenly, they heard a commotion.

"Really! I won't lie to you!"

"Something really big came out of the lake!"

"Yes, yes! It's that big!"

"Believe us, we really saw it!"

Kaito hurried there quickly, Mizuki followed him and ran there as well, only Hongtu was still walking leisurely.

When they arrived, they saw a group of people surrounding a police officer, discussing in a hurry.

"What happened?" Kaito approached and asked.

The police officer turned to see them and recognized his uniform: "Hello, thank you for your hard work.

Well, they said, they saw the dragon coming out of the lake. "

"Dragon?" Kaito thought of the legend told to him by the girl he met during the day.

Do dragons really exist?

Kaito had doubts in his mind. He was inexplicably concerned about what the girl said, but they found no trace of the dragon. Even the village chief admitted that the dragon was fake.

Kaito didn't have time to think too much before he heard the police officer continue.

"However, nothing happened to them. They were not attacked..." This is why the police officers did not want to believe it.

"No, it's true! Please believe us!"

"Please, trust us!"

The tourists were about to curse. Are you a police officer from Natsugawa? Shouldn't you know best whether there is a dragon here? ! Why don't you believe us? !

The police officer pushed aside the crowd, pulled Kaito and Mizuki aside, and muttered something in a low voice.

Hong Tu's mouth twitched slightly. He heard clearly that the police officer was saying that these people were all drunk and talking nonsense here.

It is reasonable to say so, because these people do smell of alcohol. I just don't know what Kaito will think.

Believe it or not believe it.

When that girl said "I told someone," she probably told Kaito.

But it seems that Kaito is not completely convinced, maybe he is hesitating.

Hong Tu turned his head slightly and looked at Kaito who was surrounded by the crowd, with an incomprehensible expression.

Suddenly, he felt a line of sight behind him filled with greed and hatred. The young man did not turn his head immediately.

This sight is that guy, the guy who spied on him last time.

Hong Tu calmly changed his posture. Under the sun, the young man's figure seemed blurry for a moment.

At the edge of the crowd, a man in black robes and strangely dressed stood there carefree, but strangely, the crowd around him seemed invisible, and no one cast a strange look at him.

Suddenly, a wisp of black mist appeared in the shadow behind him. The next moment, a large amount of black mist gathered, and a person shrouded in black mist appeared in the shadow.

The man in black robe seemed to have realized it already. As soon as the figure behind him condensed, he quickly turned into a line of black energy and rushed into the woods behind him.

The black mist around Hong Tu dissipated a little, vaguely revealing his figure. He watched the black energy rushing into the forest, not in a hurry, and even showed a crazy and bloodthirsty smile on his face: "I found you... "

The next moment, his entire body turned into a black light, and he rushed into the woods at an extremely fast speed.

The black energy fled in front, as if it had no substance, and hit a tree blocking the front. It was scattered into wisps of black mist, then gathered again behind the tree and continued to flee.

But the black light clung to him, obviously very fast, but like a cat playing with a mouse, it deliberately didn't catch up with him immediately.
