Chapter 282: Chapter 192: The Obsession of Great Filial Piety in All Members, Morse Code
"Hmm?"
When he saw the content of the obsession and the Gift, Brian had to admit he was somewhat baffled.
These Japanese, what audacity!!!
Their obsession Gifts looked very off!!!
...
Yagyuu Ittou’s Obsession: He killed his father Yagyuu Kojirou.
Gift One: 100 points of Gift Energy.
Gift Two: 30 points of Gift Energy + Dual-Mind.
Gift Three: 10 points of Gift Energy + Heart Eye.
Gift Four: 10 points of Gift Energy + Body Activation.
Below that, there was a projection of an old man sitting cross-legged on a coffee table, who was indeed Yagyuu Ittou’s father, Yagyuu Kojirou. He appeared to be in his late seventies or eighties, probably fathering Yagyuu Ittou in his fifties or sixties.
Yagyuu Ittou, to have three recognized talents, with Gift Energy reaching as high as one hundred points, was comparable to the potential of Brian’s great-uncle.
But something was not right!
Besides Ittou’s somewhat filial obsession, the talents for Gift Two and Gift Three were also a little odd, not seeming like talents gained from enhancement or transformations.
The usual enhancements and body modifications tended to focus on the physical side.
Yet Ittou’s talents were not of that kind.
At this point, Brian already felt something strange.
The second person’s obsession: Killing his mentor Yamamoto Taku.
Gift One: 40 points of Gift Energy.
Gift Two: 5 points of Gift Energy + Body Mimicry.
Gift Three: 1 point of Gift Energy + Master-level Blade Technique.
Below the obsession, there was also a projection of a middle-aged man.
Hmm, this obsession also showed filial piety.
As for the talents, from the names, Brian couldn’t make out much, but combining them with the third Gift, he could vaguely guess that this was a kind of Body Control talent.
Because Brian had only previously acquired the Skin Stripping Skill from that Transformer, which was due to the other person possessing Body Control talent that allowed for exaggeratedly rapid mastery of any technical skill.
After all, in Brian’s Supercomputer Perception, such talents were categorized at the pinnacle of skill refinement, an achievement that normal people could reach only with talent, effort, and time.
The second person must have been able to practice to a Master-level Blade Technique with the help of the ’Body Mimicry’ talent.
The question is.
Could such a talent be the result of physical modifications or enhancement drugs???
This person also wasn’t right.
The third person’s obsession: Killing his mentor Yamamoto Taku.
Gift One: 35 points of Gift Energy.
Gift Two: 5 points of Gift Energy + Rapid.
Gift Three: 5 points of Gift Energy + Enhanced Digestion.
Gift Four: 1 point of Gift Energy + Hostility Perception.
Still the same projection of the middle-aged man.
This weakling, like Yagyuu Ittou, also had three talents.
The first two talents were acceptable, possibly attainable through body modifications and enhancements.
But the talent from the fourth Gift was off, just like with Yagyuu Ittou, he also possessed a mental domain talent!
So far.
Brian had only seen similar mental talents among Mutants.
Like his own Gift of the Dead, the old man’s Prophet Warning, and the common Beast Warning...
Their Blood Moon Gifts were actually considered mental talents.
If Yagyuu Ittou and the third person were considered exceptions.
Then the next three people were all like the third obsessor, not only did they all want to kill that mentor called Yamamoto Taku, but the energy points and talents of their Gifts were all the same...
One or two could be called exceptions.
But if all were the same, only one thing could be explained: Most of these Japanese Ninjas bursting with obsession were Mutants!!!
And the talents of these people weren’t much different, either mostly warnings, or similar to a lower-grade version of Heart Eye type, capable of quickly identifying enemy’s flaws—mental talent skills. They just weren’t as formidable as Yagyuu Ittou.
Japan was actually purposefully training and nurturing directionally cultivated Mutants!
No wonder the obsessions of these people, if not patricide, were mentoricide, filial piety bring forth strength!
That’s not right...
Brian shook his head.
Something was off.
The Blood Moon was once every thirty years.
And most of these Mutants didn’t even look thirty years old.
So how had they nurtured this generation of youths with talents comparable to Mutants?
...
"Mutants..."
Brian suddenly thought of himself.
Good grief.
These people, their experiences couldn’t be too different from his own, could they...
He could only think of two possibilities.
Possibility one: Previously, they had collected a large number of disciples and conducted morbid training and cultivation, waiting for the Blood Moon to see how many could complete the mutation.
Through continuous brainwashing and deliberate cultivation, to some extent, it was possible to achieve oriented cultivation of Awakening-like abilities.
Possibility two: Japan might have something similar to the "Divine Favored" reagent and possibly even more advanced than what the FBI had, or Japan had other ways to increase the ability to artificially create pseudo-Mutants.
This possibility was not unfounded.
In terms of human body research and perverse human behavior, the United States really might not be able to surpass Japan.
Brian knew that, in the past, this side had specifically taken in a large number of Japanese military doctors involved in all sorts of bacteria and human body experiments who should’ve been on military tribunals after World War II.
But let’s not get into that.
Brian considered Japan’s unique national conditions and suspected that the probability of Mutants awakening in this bunch of Japanese folks probably far exceeded that of other nations, and they might even be actively creating Mutants for recruitment and training.
These lunatics, they really aren’t afraid of losing control.
Lest the legend of Japan’s eight million gods be reborn, only to become eight million Mutants...
The imagery was too splendid; Brian didn’t dare to conceive what kind of human purgatory that would be.
"Forget it, let them do whatever they want to do."
Brian shook his head, toying with the Small Tachi he had obtained from Yagyuu Ittou: "Regardless of whether it’s for these six people’s obsession or to eradicate the roots, I’ll definitely make a trip to Japan when the opportunity is right."
The obsession of those six people required him to kill just two.
Not counting the Gift Energy, just the reward Gift Energy alone was nearly two hundred and eighty units.
Adding to Brian’s stored Gift Energy, he estimated it would be enough for a full Enhancement of his body.
He was set on killing those two!
Not even Jesus could save them!
Brian decided that starting tomorrow, he would use online resources to practice Japan’s so-called "Sword Dao" and, at the same time, keep an eye on the force that wiped out the Ninja Group, then disguise himself as that force to stir up trouble in Japan!
The next day.
After only four hours of sleep, a fully spirited Brian got up early, using a spare laptop to look up Japanese Sword Dao teachings.
The profession of the ninja, prior to the Blood Moon, was actually that of an assassin during Japan’s Warring States period.
Their methods of combat were a hodgepodge, mostly involving disguise, poisoning, hidden weapons, and other cold weapons; they seemed mysterious but were basically similar to organizations that every nation had during the cold weapon phase.
Their status was well below the warrior class beneath the nobles.
Here, the Sword Dao was influenced by competitive techniques passed down from Hua Country during the Sui and Tang dynasties, and even initially used the sword types of that era. Afterward, due to continuous conflicts between small noble factions since the 10th century, the warriors banded together for protection, and through constant skirmishes between village... no, nations, the rudiments of Japan’s Sword Dao slowly formed.
Also, due to the scarcity of material resources and the smaller stature and weaker strength of people in early Japan.
Most of Japan’s Sword Dao contained fatal attack techniques; otherwise, if they learned the movie-style clashing of swords, the blades wouldn’t withstand and would go broke after a couple of fights.
This has led to the majority of instructional videos circulating online nowadays to be all about Iaido Slash, Draw Sword Slash, and cutting water, bamboo mats, or diagonally drawing the blade while practicing a single move.
With impressive-sounding names.
In truth, it’s just hacking at water, bamboo mats, or a single movement with a diagonal draw.
Of course, it’s also possible that due to the Blood Moon, the potential in combat with cold weapons has been enhanced, leading to complex techniques that people are unwilling to upload online, creating another technology blockade.
Brian, with innate abilities such as Body Control and Supercomputer Perception and other numerous physical talents, accomplished learning techniques at a frightening speed. Almost every slash showed significant improvement in footwork and precision.
In just over half an hour.
In the living room of the apartment, two beams of blade light flickered. Under Brian’s speed and strength, they looked like two giant silver wheels, wildly unleashed the blade’s cold light, bearing an overwhelming Cuts Through Anything aura.
"This stuff isn’t that difficult after all."
Brian turned his small hand, and the blades returned to their sheaths.
Even if you remove the bonuses from speed, strength, neural response, and so on, his footwork and compatibility with sword skill were clearly superior to those jumpy Japanese swordsmanship instructors in the videos.
It was just that the Small Tachi in his hand felt too short, like a big horse pulling a small cart, lacking fluidity.
...
Nine o’clock.
Susan, driving her car, appeared under Brian’s apartment building with Shi San and her best friend Caroline.
Brian, dressed in flashy beach shorts and wearing sunglasses, saw Caroline and frowned slightly: "Susan, didn’t we agree that today was going to be a two-person and a dog world? Why are there irrelevant people here?"
Caroline pouted, wanting to retort, but recalling the brutal heart-wrenching fierceness of Brian from yesterday, she dared not speak.
"Bad guy, bad guy..."
Just then, a bird’s head peeked out from behind Caroline, squawking at Brian.
Brian looked at Caroline with an unfriendly expression.
This little missy was scared of him, and now she’s even started to bring in a mouth-piece, huh?
"Arf~"
Shi San reacted quickly, baring teeth at the parrot.
The parrot got scared and quickly retreated: "Bad dog, bad dog..."
Seeing this, Susan burst into laughter: "Alright, Brian, get in the car. Today Caroline was tasked with teaching this little parrot Morse Code and was super bored, so I brought her along to hang out. You wouldn’t be jealous of a girl, would you?"
Brian hummed disdainfully, shooed Shi San into the backseat, and sat in the passenger seat.
Morse Code...
Right.
He had always been unsure what new thing to teach Shi San.
This seemed like a pretty good idea.
Later, Shi San could even directly phone chat with him.
Shi San shrank its neck.
For some reason, it felt suddenly chilly inside the car...
