Chapter 41: Making a Wish
In the Pacific Ocean, on an isolated island, the waves crashed against the rocks on the shore, creating bursts of noise.
"Ai-chan, I will go back to the Dragon Ball world to get the Dragon Balls first. I will send you an exclusive red envelope later. You just need to take out the Dragon Balls," Lin Yu said to Haibara Ai seriously.
"Yeah!" Haibara Ai nodded gently, a hint of excitement in her eyes. Could her sister really be resurrected?
Lin Yu turned into a streak of light and disappeared on the spot. He arrived at the villa in the Dragon Ball World, pushed the door open and walked in, opened the chat group, and placed the seven dragon balls into the red envelope. Then, he opened the private chat with Haibara Ai and clicked send.
In the Conan world, Haibara Ai had been quietly waiting for news from Lin Yu. Finally, she saw a new message pop up in the chat group. Delighted, she clicked it quickly. When she saw the red envelope sent by Lin Yu, she clicked to receive it without hesitation.
As the red envelope opened, seven dragon balls flashed with an otherworldly light, slowly floated out, and finally landed on the ground.
Xiaolan, who was standing nearby, widened her eyes and asked curiously, "Is this a Dragon Ball? It looks so magical!"
"Yeah, I think so too. Can these few glass beads really revive others?" said Koizumi Akako.
"Of course. You don't believe what your man says? You deserve a spank!" Lin Yu's figure suddenly appeared behind her and gently patted her plump buttocks with his palm.
"You're such a jerk! You're bullying me again!" Koizumi Akako said angrily.
"Hmph, you two should stop it. Are you pretending we don't exist and flirting with each other?" Haibara Ai glared at the two of them and scolded them.
Hearing this, Koizumi Akako's cheeks turned red. She turned around to look at Lin Yu and said coquettishly, "It's all your fault; now they are laughing at you!"
Lin Yu smiled helplessly, shrugged, and said, "Who asked you to doubt my words? But it doesn't matter. I will let you see the power of the Dragon Balls later."
"Well, okay, then show it to us quickly!" Koizumi Akako looked at Lin Yu expectantly.
"Don't worry; I won't let you down," Lin Yu said confidently.
He placed the seven dragon balls on the ground. "Dragon, come forth and grant my wish!" As Lin Yu finished speaking, the dragon balls gradually emitted a dazzling light, as if resonating with some power between heaven and earth.
The three girls widened their eyes and stared nervously at the scene before them. They had never witnessed such a magical sight, and their hearts were filled with shock and anticipation.
The sky within a radius of several hundred meters gradually darkened. The thick black clouds felt like a heavy mountain pressing on the hearts of the three women, making it hard to breathe and giving the unsettling feeling that the end of the world was approaching.
The next second, accompanied by a dazzling light, a green dragon hundreds of feet long roared out from the dragon balls, pierced through the thick clouds at an incredible speed, and flew straight into the sky.
"To those who have gathered the seven Dragon Balls, state your wish. Any wish can be granted, but only one," the dragon's majestic voice echoed in the sky.
"Any wish is fine?" Lin Yu slightly curved the corners of his mouth, revealing a barely perceptible mischievous smile. "Then I want three wishes!"
"(o'ω'o)?" Shenron blinked in confusion, clearly not expecting Lin Yu to make such a request.
"Mortal, do not be too greedy. You can only make one wish," Shenron said in a serious tone.
"Tsk! Didn't you say that any wish could come true? What a lie!" Lin Yu looked at the dragon with disdain, his eyes full of disbelief and suspicion.
"(ー_ー)!!" Shenron widened his eyes and looked at the rude human before him in disbelief. It had never been treated with such contempt and insult before, and a surge of anger welled up within it, but it couldn't unleash it. After all, as a god, arguing with mortals would be beneath it.
"Mortal, state your wish quickly. If you do not make a wish, I will depart," the dragon urged impatiently, a hint of threat in its tone.
Lin Yu raised his eyebrows, completely unfazed by Shenron's attitude. "Okay, then my wish is... to revive my wife's sister, Miyano Akemi!"
When Shenron heard this wish, it immediately became serious. Its eyes glowed red, as if it was exerting some mysterious power in an attempt to revive Miyano Akemi. The entire space filled with a mysterious and powerful atmosphere, making everyone feel both excited and nervous.
Haibara Ai held Lin Yu's hand tightly, her face full of expectation and hope, tears welling up in her eyes. She prayed silently, hoping that the dragon could grant Lin Yu's wish and bring Miyano Akemi back to her.
As time passed, the dragon's eyes continued to flash red. The air around them seemed frozen, with only the powerful aura emanating from the dragon constantly fluctuating. The three women held their breath and waited quietly for the result.
...
Chapter 42: Making a Wish ②
"I'm sorry, I cannot fulfill your wish!" Shenron's deep and magnetic voice, like a muffled thunder, exploded in the air, making everyone's ears ring.
"How could this be... Is it true that my sister will never come back?" Haibara Ai's originally bright eyes dimmed instantly, her face filled with unconcealable loss, and crystal tears welled up, ready to fall.
"Honey, don't cry!" Lin Yu hugged Haibara Ai tightly, his heart aching, and comforted her softly, "This feathered lizard is useless. We can still think of other ways, honey, don't be sad."
Xiaolan also hurried forward, gently patted Haibara Ai's shoulder, and said softly, "Yes, Ai-chan, don't be too sad. We will definitely find a way to revive Sister Akemi."
Koizumi Akako also chimed in, "That's right, Ai, don't cry. What kind of dragon is this? I think it's just a stinky loach. It's useless. Humph!"
「(??ˇ_ˇ??:)」
How could the dragon, a being so high and mighty, tolerate such belittling words?
"Hmph, ignorant mortals, do you not know that her sister's body has long been burned to ashes? Without a body, how can this dragon revive her? However, there are two feasible methods now. One is for you to make a new wish and let this dragon help her sister rebuild her body first, and then wait for another year. After the Dragon Balls recover their power, you can make a wish to revive her."
"Then what is the second solution?" Koizumi Akako asked impatiently.
The dragon said calmly, "As for the second method, it is also very simple. I can summon her sister's soul. Since your wife is already pregnant, I can help her sister's soul reincarnate into her womb."
"Ai-chan, you are pregnant?" Lin Yu's eyes widened, his face full of surprise, and then he couldn't help but think, "Strange, why isn't this fertility system responding? Is it broken?"
At this moment, the system's prompt sounded like a grown-up girl: [Ding, congratulations to the host for having a daughter, and obtaining the Tucao energy collector. ]
Hearing the system's voice, Lin Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes and muttered, "Oh, this damn system is really an afterthought, and what the hell is this Tucao energy? Are they using the alien technology in Shileng to make up for it?"
At this time, Haibara Ai was lowering her head, a faint blush on her face, and nodding shyly. In fact, when Lin Yu returned to the Dragon Ball world last time, she was already pregnant with their child. She just hadn't told Lin Yu yet.
Looking at his shy wife in front of him, Lin Yu's heart was filled with joy and emotion. He gently stroked Haibara Ai's belly, feeling the flutter of life inside, as if he could hear the baby's heartbeat.
"Wife, which of the two methods it just mentioned do you choose?" Lin Yu asked gently.
Haibara Ai hesitated for a moment and answered softly, "The second one!" After all, the first one would take a year, and she couldn't wait that long. And in the second case, her sister would become her child. When she thought of her sister calling her mother, Haibara Ai actually felt a little excited.
"Okay, now that you have made your choice, leave the rest to me," the dragon said, his eyes glowing red.
A dazzling light flashed, and Haibara Ai felt a warm force enveloping her abdomen. She held Lin Yu's hand nervously, hoping for a miracle to happen.
After a moment, the light gradually dissipated, and Haibara Ai's face turned pale. Lin Yu asked with concern, "Wife, how are you? Are you okay?"
Haibara Ai shook her head and said with a smile, "I'm fine, just a little tired." Her eyes fell on her stomach, where there seemed to be a faint stirring of life.
"It seems that my sister's soul has been successfully reincarnated," Haibara Ai said softly, with tears of happiness in her eyes, "Sister, from now on, I will protect you..."
"Your wish has been fulfilled, so farewell!" After saying that, the dragon disintegrated into seven streams of light and flew in different directions. However, how could Lin Yu let them fly away? These Dragon Balls had to be brought back to the Dragon Ball world. If there were no Dragon Balls there, it would be a mess.
Chapter 43: Mutated Corpse
The night in Tokyo felt particularly still, the streetlights casting a hazy glow through the fog. In a forgotten corner of this bustling city lay a dark alley, a place that concealed countless unknown secrets.
Into this alley, a man cloaked in black materialized silently. His face was obscured by shadow, rendering his features invisible. He dragged a corpse and moved swiftly into the alley's depths. Reaching a sewer entrance, the man in black halted. Without hesitation, he tossed the body into the murky depths and quickly retreated from the scene.
However, the stillness was deceptive. Shortly after the man in black vanished, the supposedly lifeless corpse abruptly snapped its eyes open! They burned with a malevolent hostility.
The corpse slowly extended a hand, gripping the damp wall beside it, and hauled itself into a sitting position. It finally registered its surroundings: a dark, damp, and fetid place. In the dim light, it discerned the network of crisscrossing pipes and the sluggish flow of sewage. It was the city's sewer system.
Just as confusion clouded its awareness, an overwhelming hunger surged through its being. Its body began to undergo grotesque transformations. Its skin paled to an unhealthy white, its pupils turned a chilling blood red, and sharp, elongated teeth protruded from the corners of its mouth. The horrifying visage was truly unsettling.
Suddenly, a rat scurried out of the darkness. The corpse's eyes instantly locked onto the small creature. With astonishing speed, it extended sharp claws and snatched the rat. Without a moment's hesitation, it stuffed the struggling animal into its mouth and devoured it in large, ravenous bites. The coppery tang of blood filled the confined air.
...
"Akako, I have a gift for you!" Lin Yu said with a smile, glancing down at the little elf who was busily occupied between his legs. This girl had been playfully demanding his attention for days since their return from making the wish.
"What is it?" Koizumi Akako mumbled, her small head bobbing, swallowing frequently.
"Look, this is it, the Complaint Energy Collector. It's very powerful. Someone once used it to destroy a planet," Lin Yu said, gently stroking Koizumi Akako's head, a look of utter contentment on his face. This little girl was certainly making him comfortable. Indeed, women were a gentle haven. Lin Yu felt utterly relaxed.
"Ayu, Sonoko called just now. She said several classmates at our school were attacked by monsters and asked us to go over and take a look," Xiaolan's voice drifted down from the stairs.
Hearing Xiaolan's words, both Lin Yu and Koizumi Akako started. They quickly sat up and straightened their clothes. Koizumi Akako wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, a look of lingering satisfaction on her face, and a blush bloomed on her cheeks, making her even more radiant, a sight that momentarily stunned Lin Yu.
When Xiaolan reached the bottom of the stairs, she saw Lin Yu and Koizumi Akako sitting primly. She asked curiously, "What's wrong with you two? Why are you so flustered?"
Lin Yu scratched his head and explained with a smile, "Nothing, Akako was just giving me a massage. By the way, did Sonoko say what kind of monster attacked the students?"
Xiaolan shook her head, indicating her ignorance. She continued, "Sonoko didn't give us many details. She just said something happened at the school and asked us to go help. I think it might be some kind of mysterious creature or monster."
Lin Yu nodded, secretly pondering whether he should get involved this time. Koizumi Akako, on the other hand, seemed rather excited, her curiosity about this mysterious event clearly piqued.
"Then let's go!" Koizumi Akako said impatiently, "Maybe we'll encounter something interesting."
Lin Yu looked at Koizumi Akako helplessly, thinking that this young lady truly had a penchant for stirring up trouble. But then again, she was his woman.
...
Chapter 44: Mutated Corpse ②
Teitan Junior High School Infirmary.
As Lin Yu, Xiaolan, and Conan entered the infirmary, a low murmur of voices filled the air. Several boys lay on stretchers, their faces etched with fear.
"Brother Lin Yu, you're finally here!" As soon as Suzuki Sonoko spotted Lin Yu, her eyes brightened. She rushed over excitedly and latched onto his arm.
Lin Yu subconsciously glanced at the expanse of white fabric on Sonoko's chest, then subtly withdrew his hand without making it obvious. He coughed lightly and said, "Ahem, Sonoko, let go for a moment." He gave her a helpless look.
Sonoko realized her inappropriate behavior, her face flushing. She quickly released his arm, smiling awkwardly. "I'm sorry, Brother Lin Yu. I'm just so relieved to see you."
"Sonoko, are they alright? What exactly was that monster you mentioned on the phone?" Xiaolan asked, her brow furrowed in confusion.
"After the doctor examined them, he said they just fainted from shock, but they're still unconscious," Suzuki Sonoko said, gesturing towards the boys on the stretchers. She then leaned closer to Xiaolan, a mysterious glint in her eyes, and whispered, "That monster is the strange noise coming from the sewer outside the abandoned building behind the school. It sounded a lot like a monster's roar. They went on an adventure together out of curiosity, but they fell into a coma after returning." Hearing this, Xiaolan couldn't help but feel a shiver crawl down her spine, her heart filled with fear and unease. She instinctively snuggled closer to Lin Yu, a scene that made Sonoko on the side envious.
"Don't be afraid, my little baby. Your husband is here to protect you. No one can hurt you. Don't worry. Let's go and see what it is!" Lin Yu gently patted Xiaolan's back, trying to reassure her.
The group soon arrived at the sewer outside the abandoned building and indeed heard a low, guttural roar. The sound seemed to emanate from the depths of the earth, sending shudders down their spines. Xiaolan paled with fright and clutched Lin Yu's arm tightly, refusing to let go.
Hearing this eerie sound, Lin Yu's frown deepened. The feeling reminded him of the zombie movies starring Uncle Jiu that he had enjoyed in his previous life. It seemed that professional matters should be left to professionals. Without hesitation, Lin Yu opened the chat group.
[@林凤娇: Uncle Jiu, could I trouble you for a favor? It seems like a supernatural entity has appeared here. Would you be interested in coming over to deal with it? ]
[Maoshan Lin Fengjiao: I am truly sorry, group leader. I have been incredibly busy lately and cannot spare the time. How about this? I will personally draw two talismans for you. As long as the opponent's cultivation level is not higher than mine, they can definitely destroy any demons and monsters. ]
[Lin Yu: Thank you so much, Uncle Jiu! ]
After all, these were talismans drawn by Uncle Jiu himself, so their power must be extraordinary. Although Lin Yu himself might not need them, they would be a good form of self-defense for his wife.
[Ding, you have an exclusive red envelope, please click to receive it. ]
Lin Yu immediately opened the red envelope, and two yellow talismans appeared in his hand. These were two Five Thunder Talisman Formations capable of launching a ranged attack on an enemy.
[The Girl from the Darkness: Honey, remember to capture this monster for me. I want to dissect it and examine its structure. ]
[Lin Yu: Yes, my dear wife! ]
[Boil bones into soup: Dissection... Group leader, your wife is a bit terrifying. ]
[Lin Yu: Haha, thank you for the compliment. My baby is truly amazing. She is a renowned chemistry scientist. ]
[Bone soup: (?_?) ]
[Beggars' Sect Leader: What's going on?] Why was I just subjected to a mouthful of PDA as soon as I logged in?! Slipping away... ]
Chapter 45: Mutated Corpse ③
"Agh~" A guttural roar erupted from the sewer, followed by a wave of putrid stench, and a grotesque figure lunged out.
The creature reeked of decay, its mouth a gaping maw filled with blood-stained fangs, amidst which were fragments of what appeared to be raw, unidentified animal flesh. Its tattered clothes hung loosely on its emaciated frame.
Its eyes flashed with a sickly green light as it fixated on Lin Yu and the others. With a sudden, horrifying snarl, it lunged forward, bloody mouth agape.
"Get lost!!!"
Lin Yu simply roared the command, and the sheer force of his energy blast sent the mutated creature flying backward with tremendous force.
"Is this thing the monster? It's so ugly and disgusting!" Koizumi Akako exclaimed, wrinkling her nose in revulsion.
Just as she finished speaking, the hair on her body suddenly emitted a brilliant light and solidified, transforming into a broom.
"What is this?" Koizumi Akako stared at it in astonishment. The next second, the broom shifted and morphed into a sleek spear. "Hehe, this is really fun! It can actually change according to my thoughts?!"
"I see. This must be a magical weapon, like my broom?"
"Thank you so much, husband! You truly are the man I, Koizumi Akako, adore. You've given me such a wonderful surprise!" Koizumi Akako gazed at Lin Yu affectionately, her eyes brimming with gratitude and love. She hadn't expected such a precious gift from him, and it deepened her feelings immeasurably. If before she had merely desired to bear his children due to his strength and attractiveness, now Koizumi Akako found herself truly in love with the man before her.
Lin Yu looked at Koizumi Akako with a warm smile and said gently, "You're welcome. As long as you like it." He knew this gift was perfectly suited to her, and seeing her joy filled him with happiness.
At that moment, the monster that had been blasted away staggered back to its feet, letting out a low, menacing growl before charging towards them once more.
"Be careful!" Suzuki Sonoko shrieked, a frantic warning.
Koizumi Akako reacted swiftly, immediately hurling the newly formed spear at the creature. The spear flew like a guided arrow, piercing the monster's chest with ease and pinning it firmly to the ground.
"ROAR!"
The monster roared in pain and fury, the sound like a deafening clap of thunder. It clawed at the spear embedded in its flesh and, with a violent heave, ripped it free.
As the spear was extracted, a gaping wound remained in the monster's chest, and viscous green blood spurted out like a gruesome fountain, splattering onto the ground.
The monster's body began to convulse, a feral light blazing in its eyes. It had only one instinct now: to tear the one who had injured it into pieces.
Koizumi Akako quickly backed away. Seeing this, the monster lunged forward even more frantically, snapping its fangs and swiping its claws in a desperate attempt to seize her.
Koizumi Akako remained composed. She murmured an incantation, channeling her magic. A bolt of crimson light shot forth from her hand, striking the monster directly.
"Fireball!" It was a basic spell, capable of unleashing a fiery projectile to strike the enemy.
The monster was engulfed in flames, its agonizing shrieks echoing through the air. However, instead of collapsing, it seemed only to become more enraged, its movements even more erratic.
Lin Yu, worried that Koizumi Akako might be hurt, was about to intervene and end the creature's existence, but Koizumi Akako stopped him. She had just received a new weapon and was eager to test its capabilities.
The battle then escalated into a fierce exchange, Koizumi Akako utilizing her magical skills and the versatile spear in a heated duel against the mutated corpse.
