Chapter 294 Intelligence Sharing
Swish!
The armor on his body disappeared in the light, and the three core coins on his waist seemed to have self-awareness and reintegrated into Jiang Xia's body in ripples.

Jiang Xia put away the Oz Driver and walked towards the surprised crowd.

They had never seen Oz like this before. It was an unfamiliar combination, and the power of the combination shocked them.

Izumi Shingo, who witnessed Jiang Xia absorbing the coin with his own eyes, discovered at the first sight of the purple coin that it was exactly the same as the core coin in Hino Eiji's body.

"This is not the place to talk, let's go back to the multi-national restaurant."

"Regarding the dinosaur team and the coin in Hino's body, Hong Shang has already told me the detailed information and the reason for its appearance. I will tell you the solution."

Jiang Xia looked at the park which had returned to silence and spoke to them.

A multi-national cuisine restaurant.

Anku, who couldn't wait any longer, asked first:

"I've never seen a core coin like that before. Why did it appear in Eiji's body?"

Izumi Hina and Izumi Shingo also looked over curiously. Strictly speaking, they were both related to the core coin.

In order to visually demonstrate the effect of the dinosaur coin, Jiang Xia rolled up his sleeves and held his arms up to show them.

"You may not yet fully understand what will happen if humans actually devour the core coins. The consequences will be more serious than you think."

Compared with preaching, Jiang Xia now prefers to speak with facts.

At this point, he turned to look at Anku and said:

"Anku, I will restore part of your right hand so that we can compare the difference between Greed's body and that of a human."

Anku nodded and also stretched out his right hand, revealing his original body.

"This is a human's arm, this is Greed's arm, and what I'm going to show next is the consequences of a human swallowing a core coin."

After their eyes were focused on Jiang Xia's arm, purple flames instantly ignited on the surface of the originally human arm.

The purple flame was first as transparent as crystal, then became darker and darker, as bottomless as an abyss, and extremely rich purple-red.

The purple-red color that will dye everyone's eyes will also illuminate their almost frozen sight.

Now the arms of Jiangxia's humans are covered with monster-like skin, with purple-black scales piercing the skin, black claws replacing human nails, and bones beginning to swell.

Izumi Hina covered her lips with her hands, her face pale, obviously frightened.

She thought she had gotten used to Anku's right hand during this time, but now she still felt scared.

Jiang Xia's originally dark eyes turned purple to the extreme. He spoke in a slow and low voice:
“This is what happens when the core coin remains in the human body.”

The atmosphere around them suddenly became unusually quiet. After a few seconds, Hino Eiji slowly spoke:

"Will I become Greed too? It seems really difficult to deal with."

“This is the worst possible outcome.”

"These core coins combine the power of all fantasy creatures into one. They were born in the modern era. There are ten of them in total."

Jiang Xia placed his hand, which had turned into a claw, on the table.

"One of the traitors, Maki Kiyoto, took away and activated it, but no new Greed was born.

Instead, they are here to choose the container that suits their desire, and these coins represent the desire of nothing.”

After listening to Jiang Xia's words, An Ku thought for a while and looked at Jiang Xia and asked:
"Then who has the remaining core coin, and why do you want to stop Eiji from transforming into Oz?"

"There are three in Maki Kiyoto's hand, and four in my body. The purple yummy was made by Maki Kiyoto."

"As for stopping Hino from transforming."

Jiang Xia paused and said:

"Because Hino's desire has disappeared, once the dinosaur core coin in his body rushes out, the probability of going berserk will be very high."

"Just like the king 800 years ago, he doesn't distinguish between friend and foe."

Anku closed his eyes, his tone carrying a hint of indescribable sadness:
"Is there any way to prevent the possibility of rampage, or directly take the core coin out of Eiji's body."

"Yes, the way to control the rampage is very simple, that is, to let Hino Eiji regain his own desires, regain the true desires that belong only to him."

“At the same time, this is also the safest way to expel the dinosaur coins from the body. As long as you regain your desire, you can control the core coins in your body and then expel them from your body.

"This way, Hino can become human again. The key is to find back what Hino Eiji desires most."

"As Greed, Anku should know what will happen if the core coin is forcibly removed from the body."

"The body disintegrates."

Anku closed his eyes and spoke in a dull voice.

Jiang Xia looked at An Ku and continued:
"Well, if the three core coins in the body are lost together, there is a very small chance that Hino's body will disintegrate into cell coins."

"So I won't use this method unless it's absolutely necessary."

After listening to the information Jiang Xia told him, An Ku heard that it was possible to forcibly remove the core coin from Hino Eiji's body, so he silently gave up the plan of force in his mind.

He didn't want to gamble even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance.

He understood how it felt to be Greed, with all five senses in disarray, just like a person staying in a small cabinet without seeing the sun all day, and never being able to break free.

"Eiji, you can't use Oz anymore."

Anku looked at Hino Eiji who had remained silent.

It's hard to imagine such words coming out of his mouth. He used to wish that Yummy would appear every day so that Oz could deal with them and keep getting absorbing cell coins.

"That doesn't matter."

Hino Eiji smiled and said:

"Even if I don't transform into Oz, I can still help those who need help right now. I think that's enough."

I don't feel any desire at all. Is the desire to help people just an obsession in my heart?
Anku thought as he looked at Hino Eiji who looked indifferent.

Can a person who has lost his desire still be called alive?
Having no desires, no knowledge, and no feelings, and only being able to do things according to instinct, certainly cannot be called living.

After sharing the information about the core coin, Jiang Xia stood up from his chair. Now it was time to recover the dinosaur core coin in Maki's body.

Now he has seven dinosaur coins in his body. The power to destroy the core coins is too dangerous, so it is better to recover them as soon as possible.

But when he reached the door, he suddenly remembered something and turned back.

"And one more thing."

Jiang Xia walked up to An Ku and said something he hadn't said yet:
"The dinosaur core coin represents the desire of nothing, so the purple yummy can make the ordinary core coins invalid."

"As for Greed, it can destroy the core coin with just one strike."

"If the core coin that retains your consciousness is destroyed, you will disappear, which means death from a human perspective."

"Protect yourself." Jiang Xia looked at An Ku and said.

"Okay, I understand. I will be careful."

Anku glanced at Hino Eiji who was working in the store, and nodded to Jiang Xia.

There is a great possibility that it will get out of control. Even so, if that idiot is without me, it will definitely be difficult for him to deal with it.

Besides, I haven’t finished a year’s supply of popsicles yet, An Ku thought as he watched Jiang Xia leave.

"Anku, there are no more popsicles for today!"

Hino Eiji, who had just served the dishes to the guests, responded by saying "you're welcome". As he put away the dishes, he watched Anku secretly open the refrigerator again.

Hino Eiji quickly ran to Anku and tried to stop him.

Miss Chishiko had already shown him the bill, and the money spent on the popsicles Anku had eaten was almost equal to his salary. If he continued like this, he would be working here for nothing, and he would definitely be kicked out.

Clearly, the promise was one popsicle a day for a year.
But now Anku, who has been reborn, only eats popsicles. If this continues, he won’t even be able to afford underwear for tomorrow.

Seeing Hino Eiji blocking the refrigerator door to prevent him from eating the popsicle, Anku's eyes flashed red, and he raised his right hand and showed his claws and said:

"You promised this, do you want to go back on your word?"

"That's not the case, it's just that we don't have enough money now."

Hino Eiji scratched his head and said, "If you eat any more, Miss Chishiko will be angry. The bill is a bit high."

"Hmph, this is something you should consider, get out of the way." Anku shook his hair and ignored Hino Eiji's somewhat pitiful expression.

He opened the refrigerator door and proudly dangled the popsicle in front of Hino Eiji, then tore open the packaging of the popsicle. The cool feeling quickly filled his mouth.

If you feel you are short of money, go to work quickly. Desire is an extreme desire. He eats more popsicles, but he dares to stop me in his desire to help Eiji regain his money.

Look, I’ll eat all the popsicles in the refrigerator tomorrow, Anku ate with peace of mind while admiring the busy Hino Eiji.

"Remember your desires quickly, Eiji." Anku withdrew his gaze, sat alone in the chair, and thought silently.

An Ku tasted it for a while and found that although the popsicle was delicious, he didn't know why he felt a little confused.

Looking at the popsicle in front of him with a corner missing, Anku found that the information about the core coin in his mind seemed to be outdated.

He obviously didn't know enough about the core coins, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a predicament where he couldn't do anything.

The shadow of the light kept shining on Anku's lonely back, which seemed out of place with the lively atmosphere around him, as if he did not belong to this world.

At this moment, a clear female voice sounded from beside Anku:

"Anku, eating popsicles like this all the time is not good for your health. Even if you like eating icy things, you have to be moderate."

Anku turned around and saw Izumi Hina walking towards him with an iron tray.

"I already..." The moment Anku saw Izumi Hina, he instinctively wanted to say, "This is no longer your brother's body, it's mine."

But after seeing the look in the girl's eyes that showed she was truly worried about him, Anku held back his words.

He said, "I know. This is the last one. I won't eat any more today."

"Well, Anku." Izumi Hina left with satisfaction.

In a corner that Anku couldn't notice, Hino Eiji expressed his gratitude to Izumi Hina:

"Besides Mr. Jiang Xia, you are the only one who can stop An Ku from eating popsicles. He already has so many."

"Well, even if it's Anku, eating so many popsicles will make your body uncomfortable."

Izumi Hina said softly, "Anku is actually very similar to my brother. In some ways, they are exactly the same. So how can a brother not listen to his sister?"

"That's great, this way we won't be kicked out, thank you, Bina." Hino Eiji said with a smile.

"By the way, why would An Ku listen to Mr. Jiang Xia?"

"Mr. Jiang Xia was also invaded by the core coin, right? Why doesn't anyone worry about him?"

"His two arms have turned into monster-like shapes. Isn't this more serious than Eiji-kun's situation?"

Izumi Hina really didn't quite understand. It was obviously the same situation, so why did everyone assume that Jiang Xia was the one who could solve the problem?

Whether it was Anku or his brother, he would be notified immediately if there were any problems that could not be solved.
Even though his body had been assimilated into a monster, he still fought as usual, and even saved his own brother.

Just because of a casual remark, he fulfilled his promise. What kind of person is he?

Izumibinai had wanted to ask these questions for a long time, but looking at everyone's expressions, no one seemed too surprised.

Whatever Jiang Xia does is natural.

"I'm not really sure. I just know that Jiang Xia is a mysterious alchemist." Hino Eiji thought for a while and spoke.

Izumi Hina nodded as if she understood, and continued to listen attentively.

Hino Eiji continued:
"Jiang Xia is different from most of us. From the beginning, he seemed to know everything, just like President Hong Shang who knows Oz very well."

"By the way, you don't know President Hong Shang yet. All of Oz's equipment, including this little guy, was provided by President Hong Shang."

As he spoke, Hino Eiji took out a green can of locusts from his arms. The can of locusts somersaulted in his hand and began to deform.

"I've seen the same thing in my brother's study."

Izumi Hina looked at the can of jumping locusts in Hino Eiji's hand.

"Well, as for why Anku would listen to him, I think Jiang Xia should have a certain relationship with the person who created Anku's core coin 800 years ago." Hino Eiji guessed.

"So that's how it is. The core coin was created by an alchemist, and Jiang Xia also knows alchemy. The relationship between An Ku and him is similar to the relationship between a creator and the created."

Izumi Hina seemed to understand something, so no one was worried at all that Jiang Xia would become a monster, because he was the creator of these things.

"I understand, thank you, Eiji-kun." Izumi Hina nodded and smiled.

"The remains of the alchemist?"

Jiang Xia had just walked out of the multinational restaurant when he received a notice from Mitsuo Hongo.

“Yes, in Germany, Europe.”

Hong Shangguang said excitedly with fiery eyes:
"Happy birthday Jiang Xia! Ancient alchemy is about to appear again."

"You're notifying me now, don't you want me to go with you?" Jiang Xia held his forehead with his hand.

"Completely correct!"

"As a modern alchemist, what kind of sparks will be born between you and the ancient alchemists?"

I could feel Hong Shangguang's excitement even through the phone.

"There won't be any sparks. Ancient things are not necessarily stronger than modern ones." Jiang Xia said.

"Indeed it is."

Hong Shang Guangsheng continued:
"Today is a very important day, so I decided I would give you a present."

"When were the ruins unearthed?" Jiang Xia asked.

He really didn't know what was important about today, it had nothing to do with holidays or anything like that.

"No, have you forgotten? Today is the one-month anniversary of our consensus. As partners, of course we have to celebrate it grandly."

Mitsuo Hongo was in the office, showing off the dance he had just learned recently while speaking to Jiang Xia.

"It's only been a month, President, are you considering bribing me to go to Europe with you?"

"No, this gift was carefully selected by me. It is a sincere celebratory gift and it should have arrived by now." Mitsuo Hongo refused.

The roar of the engine could be heard from a long distance away, and a few minutes later a sports car appeared in front of Jiang Xia.

It is pure white and looks like a ray of silver light across the sky when it opens.

Her sunglasses covered most of her face. She was wearing a black tights and a pair of high heels.

"This car is a gift from the president to you. Please accept it."

Li Zhong took out the car keys and spoke respectfully to Jiang Xia.

"The gift is well chosen." Jiang Xia said.

I am probably, indeed, wealthy now.

Why didn't I realize it before? Jiang Xia thought the moment he saw the car.
