Chapter 005: Initial D

"I, I understand." Yazi nodded groggily. "You can call me Yazi, no need for 'miss.' I'll call you Xiao Bai."

"Alright, Yazi." Xiao Bai complied readily.

Xiao Qing pursed her lips and said, "Both are husband's friends, no need for formalities. Sit down and eat."

Wang Bo said, "Xiao Qing, in the modern world, don't call me husband. Call me 'laogong.'"

"Yes, laogong." Xiao Qing said crossly.

During this meal, Yazi was both surprised and intrigued. She never thought she would one day sit and eat with Bai Suzhen.

And that legendary gentle and kind snake spirit had become the wife of her friend.

It was too incredible.

Was traveling between worlds really that amazing? He even managed to hook Bai Suzhen. That guy was too incredible. But wasn't Bai Suzhen supposed to love Xu Xian? What trick did Wang Bo use to cuckold Xu Xian?

After dinner, while the two women went to bathe, Yazi pulled Wang Bo aside and asked this question.

Wang Bo was amused and exasperated. "You're too gossipy."

Yazi said smugly, "Women are gossipy creatures. Don't you know that?"

Wang Bo said calmly, "I didn't cuckold Xu Xian. The world I went to is not the 'New Legend of Madame White Snake' world, but another parallel world. In that world, it's still the Tang Dynasty, Xu Xian hasn't been born yet, and Xiao Bai doesn't know any Xu Xian. We got together openly and honestly."

Yazi suddenly understood and clapped her hands. "So that's how it works."

Wang Bo said impatiently, "Curiosity satisfied?"

"Satisfied." Yazi handed Wang Bo a black ID card. "Here, this is for you."

"What's this?"

"Hunter's license. With this, you're an official hunter." Yazi said, and at the same time, took out a document from her pocket and handed it to Wang Bo.

"And this?"

"Someone witnessed a burning monster lurking late at night in Gunma Prefecture, Japan. You can go handle it. This is the info. Take a good look."

"A mission so soon." Wang Bo took the document and opened it to read carefully.

The document recorded that the monster first appeared a week ago. Every night, the monster would appear, its body engulfed in blazing flames, racing along the highways of Gunma Prefecture.

Interestingly, anyone who witnessed the monster would disappear.

By now, a large number of people had vanished.

As for how the news spread despite the witnesses disappearing, it was because someone accidentally captured the monster racing on camera.

As for the person who filmed it, they naturally disappeared too.

After reading this, Wang Bo couldn't help asking, "I want to see the footage from the camera."

Yazi said, "That footage is only about ten seconds long. It shows a humanoid silhouette of flames. Other than that, nothing is visible."

Wang Bo knew Yazi wouldn't lie to him about something like this, so he didn't insist on viewing the video.

After all, for him, whether he watched the video or not didn't make much difference.

When Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing finished bathing, Yazi took the opportunity to take her leave. She had no intention of staying as a third wheel, nor any desire to join them.

She was a woman with principles.

Wang Bo knew Yazi's character well, so he didn't try to keep her. After seeing Yazi off, he spent the first night in this world with Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing.

The next day, Wang Bo got up, washed up, had breakfast, and took Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing to Gunma Prefecture, Japan.

Gunma Prefecture is located in the northwestern part of the Kanto Plain in Japan. It is part of the Tokyo metropolitan area, one of Japan's three major metropolitan areas, and belongs to the Kanto region. It is about 100 kilometers northwest of Tokyo, bordering Tochigi Prefecture to the east, Nagano Prefecture to the west, Saitama Prefecture to the south, and Fukushima and Niigata Prefectures to the north. Its land area ranks 21st in Japan.

It could be said that this is a very famous city; basically every Japanese knows this place.

After arriving in Gunma Prefecture, Wang Bo took out the document Yazi had given him the night before.

At the end of the document was a partial list of missing persons.

Wang Bo hadn't looked closely the night before, so he planned to examine it today and also visit the families of the missing to investigate where these people had disappeared.

Then he could roughly determine where in Gunma Prefecture the burning monster would appear.

"Kobori Yuta, Imura Shogo, Mizushima Shunta, Terasawa Kokoro, Minami Yuto, Tsuda Sota, Kanayama Kazu, Miyawake Kazuki, Fujiwara Takumi, Kobayashi Miki, Sen... wait."

Wang Bo seemed to see a very familiar name among the list of missing persons.

So Wang Bo looked back: Kobayashi Miki, Fujiwara Takumi. Yes, that's it, Fujiwara Takumi!!!

That name was too familiar.

If Wang Bo remembered correctly, Fujiwara Takumi was the protagonist of Initial D. And considering this place was none other than Gunma Prefecture, where Takumi started, it was hard not to make connections.

What was this? A time traveler, or a local resident?

Or maybe it was just a coincidence.

Wang Bo instinctively flipped to the page in the missing persons list that introduced Fujiwara Takumi.

Fujiwara Takumi, a third-year student at Gunma Prefectural S High School. His family runs a tofu shop.

Seeing this, Wang Bo was basically certain it wasn't a case of the same name, but the real Fujiwara Takumi, the protagonist of Initial D.

So Wang Bo took out his phone and called Yazi.

"Yazi, I need the information on Fujiwara Takumi from the missing persons list, as detailed as possible."

"No problem." Yazi readily agreed.

About half an hour later, a document appeared abruptly in front of Wang Bo, presumably sent by Yazi. Wang Bo caught it and carefully flipped through it.

Fujiwara Takumi's father, Fujiwara Bunta, as well as his classmates and friends, like Takeshi Ueki, Natsuki Mogi, and other familiar names came into view.

Wang Bo finally confirmed that Fujiwara Takumi was not a time traveler, but a local resident.

This also confirmed one thing.

Every movie only depicts a corner of one world.

The plot of Twin Dragons takes place in Hong Kong.

The plot of Initial D takes place in Gunma.

But they are still the same world, and Wang Bo believed that in this world, there were likely other plots unfolding one by one, only he didn't know about them.
