Leon finally understood Eric's feeling from earlier; to avoid being suffocated by Yang Tao, he clamped his hand over his mouth, preventing the 'bugs' from crawling out.
"Phew…"
"That was truly exhilarating, Yang. What in the world was that stuff?"
Yang Tao carefully covered Conan's mouth and explained, "Seer Tea is a powder made from the ground-up corpses of creatures that live in the Mirror World."
"Seer Tea can not only restore and magnify mental power and physical attributes, but with long-term consumption, this magnification can accumulate permanently, and it can even awaken some special mental abilities…"
Upon hearing this, Leon felt his fatigued body recovering. Without a word, he picked up the cup containing Seer Tea and drank it all in one gulp.
After the Raccoon City incident, Leon deeply understood the importance of strength.
Conan, his face pale, patted Yang Tao's arm, signaling that he was done.
"It felt like a nightmare exploding from my mouth, but the effect is even stronger than plain Almond water."
Conan's high IQ didn't mean he had strong self-control, so he chose to let Yang Tao cover his mouth proactively.
Yang Tao said with a smile, "After the first drink, your body will adapt somewhat. You can drink the rest slowly."
"Conan, this stuff is an aphrodisiac, you know…"
Teasing High school students was one of his few pleasures.
But to his surprise, Conan didn't refute him at all. His face merely flushed slightly, and he obediently sat in the office chair, sipping the Seer Tea in small mouthfuls.
Yang Tao couldn't help but widen his eyes, "No way…"
"Hey, Mr. Yang, what are you imagining? I just think this stuff is very good for strengthening the body."
Conan saw Yang Tao's expression and immediately knew what he was thinking. He quickly interrupted Yang Tao's thoughts. Who knew what horrifying scenes he would imagine if not stopped?
Just then, Yuuri's voice came from a distance.
"Wow! So many, many fish! Is this a double bed? So beautiful!"
"Eh? Chito, why are you crying?"
Yang Tao followed his gaze and saw the two little ones standing in front of a mirror. Yuuri looked at Chito with some concern.
"Are you okay?"
The mirror was naturally the Mirror of Erised that Dumbledore had given him. From Yuuri's words just now, Yang Tao had a rough guess of her wishes: simple and unadorned grilled fish and a bunk bed were her entire desires.
And looking at Chito's current state, she must have seen her parents or relatives.
After all, no matter how strong they were, they couldn't have just popped out of a rock.
Yang Tao walked over, squatted down, looked at Chito, reached out, and gently stroked her head, comforting her softly, "Alright, Chito, from now on, you and Yuuri can live normal lives, and that is all in the past…"
He directly put the Mirror of Erised into his backpack. This was his oversight.
The main reason was that this item was useless to him, so when he came back, he just put it in the Overworld and didn't pay much attention to it.
Who would have thought two little ones would come over?
Conan also walked over at this time and asked, "What's going on? What was that mirror just now?"
"The Mirror of Erised. This mirror can show people the scene they most desire in their hearts. For example, if you stand in front of the mirror, you might see the Black Organization being arrested, or Ran completely naked."
Conan coughed and said, "Th-that's impossible. At most, I just want to see the police arrest those members of the Black Organization. Ran or anything like that…"
Yang Tao showed a teasing smile and whispered, "Oh~ are you tired of it, boy?"
Conan: "..."
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore, Eric. Don't go back for these two days. Help me take care of them, and Leon and I will go rescue Claire."
Eric, who was sitting in the office chair drinking Seer Tea, nodded slightly in agreement upon hearing Yang Tao's words.
"No problem, I will take good care of them."
He then instructed Chito and Yuuri, "You two stay here for now. I have some things I need to deal with. If anything happens, you can find that uncle…"
"Okay."
"Okay…"
After giving his instructions, Yang Tao looked at the people present and had the idea of holding a party. He immediately said to them, "When Leon and I return, everyone come over. It'll be a good chance to get to know each other."
Conan heard this, lowered his head slightly, and a white reflection appeared in his eyes. He gently pushed his glasses and said, "Are they protagonists from other worlds?"
Seeing this, Yang Tao reached out and directly slapped Conan, saying, "Can you not look like you're about to film an episode here?"
"I just feel that after such a long time, it would be good for you all to get to know each other."
Yang Tao walked over to Leon and said, "Let's go too, lest Claire kills her way out by the time we get there."
...
Over the dark, nocturnal sea.
Amidst the surging waves, a yellow camaro sports car was speeding across the vast ocean. White ice floes constantly appeared but then disappeared beneath the car.
Yang Tao, sitting in the driver's seat, lay leisurely in his seat, closing his eyes to rest, then said:
"Hey, Leon, don't act like a greenhorn who's never seen the world, alright?"
Leon gripped his seatbelt tightly, looking at the oncoming waves, and said, "The world? Sorry, I really haven't seen a camaro that can speed across the ocean!"
"That just means you haven't seen enough."
"Bumblebee, say hello to Leon."
As Yang Tao's words fell, a burst of music sounded from the car's speakers.
"Hello!"
Bumblebee's voice was very deep and magnetic, but Yang Tao knew this voice was intentionally produced by Bumblebee; his original voice was not like this at all.
Leon: "..."
"Hello…"
"Yang, is this car an artificial intelligence?"
Leon had not seen Bumblebee's Transformers form before; Bumblebee had been sleeping.
"He is a living being just like you. You'll know when the time comes."
Under the cold moonlight, a bright light appeared on the sea that seemed capable of swallowing people whole. Violent explosions and fireworks rose above Rockfort Island.
Looking at the leaping flames in the distance.
Yang Tao said to Leon, "We might be a little late…"
"I knew I shouldn't have drunk that stuff."
No sooner had Leon finished speaking than he heard the latter half of Yang Tao's sentence: "This island might have been wiped out by Claire."
Leon: "..."
"Are you kidding me?"
Yang Tao said with a smile, "This is Claire, Chris's famous younger sister. It's just a small island."
When you, Leon, slaughter a village in a few years, won't it be the same?
Driving to a relatively flat location, Bumblebee directly bounced onto Rockfort Island using the waves.
He took an enchanted M4 from his backpack and tossed it to Leon, saying, "Let's go, prepare for a big fight."
