The Tokusatsu Era: Starting with Orphnoch

Chapter 247 The Birth of Despair

Jiangli City.

In a corner of the city, there is a beautiful wetland theme park.

At this moment, behind a secluded artificial hill in the park, two figures were squatting.

"Ugh, how much longer are we going to have to stay here? I only took two days of sick leave. Once the time is up, I have to go back to work!" Li Yifei muttered to himself, shifting his body anxiously.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhu frowned slightly, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes.

Without hesitation, he raised his hand and slapped Li Yifei hard on the back of the head.

"Hey! Didn't I tell you? I want you to pretend to be him, not to completely become him! Wake up! Don't forget who you are!" Ye Zhuo shouted angrily in a low voice.

Li Yifei, who had been hit, was taken aback at first, then scratched the back of his head and grinned foolishly: "Oh, right! How could I forget that, hehe..."

Looking at the silly guy in front of him, Ye Zhu shook his head helplessly, raised one hand to cover his face, and tried to calm the anger that was about to burst out of his heart.

"Could it be that the impact on people's daily lives is so great? In just a few days, this guy has changed into this state."

"Is it really possible to successfully complete such an important task as awakening the phantom? I wonder what Medusa and the sage are thinking." Ye Zhuo pondered to himself, feeling increasingly gloomy about the future.

However, since things had come to this point, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Zhuo lowered his hand from his face, stared coldly at Li Yifei, and warned, "I don't care what you plan to do, but there's one thing you must remember!"

"This mission is your pledge of allegiance! The Sage doesn't support useless trash, so you'd better understand the situation!"

After saying that, Ye Zhuo stopped caring about how the other party would act and simply transmitted the magic location of "Gate" to Li Yifei with a blank expression.

After doing all this, Ye Zhuo didn't even look back. With a flash, he disappeared behind the artificial hill.

.................................................. .....

Meanwhile, on the other side of the wetland park, Ye Xuan was walking alone along the winding trail.

She pouted slightly, looking unhappy, and kept muttering, "Hmph! That bad senior brother! He's such a big idiot! He's always like this."

It turns out that Ye Shang had a phone call with Teacher Ye just last night.

Over the phone, Ye Shang explained Ye Xuan's situation to Teacher Ye in detail.

Upon learning that her daughter was safe and sound, Teacher Ye finally felt relieved.

Immediately afterwards, Teacher Ye asked Ye Shang to look after Ye Xuan for a few more days, because he needed to get a few more days off before he could fly to Jiangli City to pick up Ye Xuan.

Ye Shang had no choice but to agree, unable to refuse his teacher.

However, just when Ye Xuan had finally adjusted her mood and was eagerly wanting Ye Shang to accompany her to enjoy the various scenic spots in Jiangli City,

Unexpectedly, not long after I stepped into the wetland park today, Ye Shang received a phone call.

The person on the other end of the phone informed him that there were some contractual issues with the photos he had previously submitted to the newspaper, and that he needed to deal with them immediately.

Left with no other choice, Ye Shang could only apologize and let Ye Xuan wander around the scenic area by herself for the time being, promising that he would come back to find her as soon as he finished what he was doing.

And so, filled with disappointment, Ye Xuan could only wander alone amidst the beautiful scenery.

Not long after.

Ye Xuan slowly walked to a lawn that was particularly bright under the sun.

She gently bent down, touched the soft tips of the grass with her hand, and then slowly lay down on the grass.

The sunlight, like a golden veil, gently fell upon her.

Ye Xuan closed her eyes slightly, fully enjoying the warmth and comfort.

That familiar and comforting temperature made her feel as if she had returned to her mother's warm embrace.

As she pondered, a single, glistening tear silently slid down her cheek, leaving a faint tear stain.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Ye Xuan sat up and carefully took off the necklace hanging on her chest.

She gently opened the small, exquisite photo frame, and her mother's gentle, smiling face came into view.

Looking at her mother in the photo, Ye Xuan's longing for her mother intensified, and a deep sense of loneliness instantly welled up in her heart.

"Mom... Xuanxuan really misses you. When you're not around, they bully me..." Ye Xuan reached out her fingers and gently stroked her mother's portrait, tears streaming down her face.

She sobbed as she whispered her grievances and pain.

However, just as Ye Xuan was immersed in her longing for her mother, she suddenly felt that the sunlight that was shining on her head seemed to be blocked by something.

Startled, she quickly clutched the necklace to her chest, stood up abruptly, wiped away her tears hastily, and ran to the side in a panic.

"Haha, I thought it would be so difficult, but I found out so easily!" With a smug laugh, Li Yifei appeared, staring intently at the necklace that Ye Xuan was tightly holding in her arms, his eyes gleaming with greed.

Immediately afterward, Li Yifei flashed forward, blocking Ye Xuan's escape route with incredible speed.

Faced with the sudden obstruction, Ye Xuan turned pale with fright, but she still held tightly to the necklace in her arms and refused to let go.

However, Li Yifei didn't give her a chance to resist. He suddenly reached out and snatched the necklace from Ye Xuan's arms.

"What are you doing! Give it back!" Ye Xuan shouted in shock and anger, desperately reaching out her hands to try and snatch back her necklace.

However, Li Yifei merely scoffed at her actions.

With a gentle push, he effortlessly knocked Ye Xuan to the ground.

At the same time, Li Yifei opened the delicate little photo frame on the necklace, held it high, and shook it wantonly.

His mocking voice then rang out: "Want it?"

Ignoring the pain, Ye Xuan struggled to get up from the ground.

When her gaze fell upon the swaying necklace, her pupils contracted sharply, and her eyes revealed despair and anger.

She bit her lip tightly, her hands clenched into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms.

"Give it back to me! Give it back to me!" Ye Xuan roared hoarsely.

At this moment, Li Yifei saw that the time was almost right.

In a flash, he transformed into the ferocious-looking Minotaur phantom!

“Here you go, fine!” the Minotaur Phantom said with a sly laugh.

Before he finished speaking, he deliberately tossed the necklace in his hand aside.

Without hesitation, he raised his large, thick foot and stomped hard on the necklace.

With a crisp "crack," the once exquisite little photo frame shattered instantly, scattering across the ground.

"Oops! Sorry, my hand slipped."

Ye Xuan stared blankly at the scene, as if the whole world had collapsed at that moment.

Her pupils gradually lost focus, becoming empty and lifeless. She collapsed to the ground, as if she had lost her soul.

"Why...why do you all have to bully me like this..." Ye Xuan murmured to herself, tears streaming uncontrollably down her cheeks.

At this moment, the pain in her heart surged forth like a flood bursting its banks, uncontrollable.

At that moment, shocking purple cracks began to appear on Ye Xuan's body, spreading rapidly like a spider web.
