Chapter 603: Chapter 600: Enter the Stage

"Clear the way, all of you, and get lost! Lord Gu is arriving soon, mind your lives if you block Lord Gu’s path!" The reprimand coming from outside sounded just like that.

Lord Gu? Lin Tian was taken aback for a moment, then coldness flashed through his eyes. The much-awaited has finally decided to make an appearance, huh? If it weren’t for the inconvenience of using Super Vision, I would have dragged you out like a rat long ago.

At his side, the two beauties, one an Ancient Body Technique Practitioner, the other a mysterious Demon Exterminating Master, were both not so easily fooled. If he used Super Vision to locate the Gu Cultivator’s position, they might catch a hint of something unusual.

Furthermore, Lin Tian also wanted to see what treasures this den held. Before destroying it, he planned to find new owners for these treasures—of course, that new owner would be himself, or so Lin Tian thought.

Additionally, Lin Tian had discovered another fact: although the shrine served as the Gu Cultivator’s den, it was not the Sun Shadow Association’s den. Getting a clear grasp of this place was also a step further in understanding what kind of force the Sun Shadow Association was.

However, Kikuchi Mika was not as composed as Lin Tian. Hearing that Lord Gu was about to appear, her originally peachy and pretty face suddenly lost all color, scared pale.

"Lord Gu is coming, quickly move to the side," Kikuchi Mika said nervously, then she herself stepped aside, bowing her head, not daring to look straight ahead.

Lin Tian nodded to Ning Luoxi and the Heavenly Master Girl, then also pretended to step aside in a similar fashion.

No sooner had they taken their positions, a middle-aged man hurried in. Seeing that Lin Tian and the others had already moved to the side of the path, he nodded in satisfaction. Yet he still harshly shouted, "Lord Gu will be here shortly. No wandering around is allowed. If anyone blocks Lord Gu’s path, mind your lives!"

The man responsible for clearing the scene repeated what he had said before, emphasizing again and again not to collide with Lord Gu.

Such pomp and circumstance, almost like the Emperor’s procession, Lin Tian scorned in his heart. In terms of a strict hierarchy, Japan was even more severe than Huaxia.

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he didn’t wait for Lin Tian and the others to reply but hurried deeper into the greenhouse, continuing to reprimand those inside.

"Miss Meijia, does Lord Gu often come to this part of the greenhouse? Why is it so tense?" Ning Luoxi purposely asked.

Meijia glanced cautiously outside the greenhouse, and, seeing that Lord Gu had not yet arrived, she whispered, "He only comes occasionally. Actually, it wasn’t so tense before."

"But for some reason, Lord Gu has become very irritable in the past few days. Many people are walking on eggshells, not daring to speak carelessly and risk Lord Gu’s ire. Moreover, I heard that someone brought back three boxes that haven’t been opened yet. With Lord Gu already in a foul mood, no one dares to make him angry." Meijia looked at Lin Tian as if to remind him.

Because she saw that the "ninja" who had just arrived even dared to offend the head of the greenhouse, she also feared that Lin Tian might inadvertently offend Lord Gu with his words and actions, which could lead to serious consequences.

However, Lin Tian just sneered to himself, thinking, If your Lord Gu is that Gu Cultivator, his bad temper is my doing, as I destroyed his lifeline Gu.

Meijia, noticing a certain nonchalance in Lin Tian’s gaze, became somewhat anxious and wanted to offer more advice. But just as she was about to speak up, a group of people walked in from outside.

The leader wore a loose gray robe and was of average build, but his face was hidden behind a ghastly mask, making it impossible to discern his features, gender, or age. The mask had a ferocious look, with a mouth slit open revealing fangs, and even horns protruding from it.

Lin Tian remembered that this was a mask with Japanese characteristics, seemingly known as the Bodhisattva Ghost Head Mask. The eye areas were adorned such that one couldn’t see the wearer’s eyes from the outside. Some of the more sophisticated Ghost Head Masks even had voice changers installed in the mouth area, altering the wearer’s voice when speaking.

There was no need to guess; this had to be the Gu Master others had spoken of. Lin Tian had dealt with half zombies before and even captured one, but that Youzi had claimed she had never seen her master’s true face. It turned out this Gu Master was wearing the Ghost Head Mask.

Following close behind the Gu Master were two people, one being the person in charge of the laboratory, Nishio Yoshiaki, who was also Kikuchi Mika’s supervisor, the same man who had asked Lin Tian to transport the body. It was not surprising that he was personally chosen by the Gu Master and now appeared alongside him.

The other person, walking side by side with Nishio Yoshiaki, was a man who looked to be in his thirties, shorter than the Gu Master by a head, wearing sunglasses and a black suit. Judging by how inflated his suit sleeves were, he seemed to be very muscular, the compact and powerful type.

Could he be the Gu Master’s bodyguard? Lin Tian wondered. But wearing sunglasses at night was quite peculiar, as if he wanted to make it obvious that he was a bodyguard.

Lastly, three individuals followed, all dressed in black stealth gear with their faces covered, and each with a short and a long Japanese sword strapped to their backs, dressed exactly like Lin Tian at the moment—clearly, three ninjas.

However, each ninja was carrying a large box in hand, which reflected a metallic sheen under the lighting.

These must be the secure boxes that the Japanese had stolen, Lin Tian thought to himself as he casually glanced at them, understanding that this Ning Luoxi really had the means, managing to find such sturdy boxes that still had not been opened.

If they were desperate, they could force them open, but the Japanese thought they contained invaluable jade, so of course they wouldn’t want to damage them. Thus, even now, the boxes remained intact.

But suddenly coming to the greenhouse at this moment, Lin Tian surmised that the Gu Master must have thought of some method to open them.

Since entering the greenhouse, the group had remained silent, their gazes straight ahead, exuding an air of grandeur.

As soon as Kikuchi Mika saw the group, she didn’t dare lift her head and quickly bowed it down. The words she had wanted to say to Lin Tian were swallowed back down.

It was unclear whether it was Kikuchi Mika’s bowing that caught the Gu Cultivator’s attention or if it was something else, but the Gu Master stopped abruptly as he passed by Lin Tian and the others.

The Gu Master, still wearing his mask, turned his head and "looked" at Lin Tian and others, as well as Kikuchi Mika—a few glances that Lin Tian felt were supposed to be looks. Since the Gu Master’s eyes were covered by the mask, he could see others, but they could not clearly see his eyes, so Lin Tian could not discern what kind of look it was, he could only sense it.

Of course, if he wanted to see the Gu Master’s true face, it wasn’t impossible; Lin Tian could use his super X-ray vision to see through the mask. But there was no point. Lin Tian had never seen the Gu Cultivator before, and even if he saw the Gu Master’s true face now, it wouldn’t prove anything.

The important thing was why the Gu Master had stopped. That was what Lin Tian was concerned about. Could it be that he also had taken an interest in Kikuchi Mika, the nurse?
