The result was unexpected, yet somehow still within reason.
After all, the number of people Lin Feng knew in this world was limited, and more than half of them were currently right in front of him.
Now, the only person who could be calling him—aside from his editor, Manzuki Miyako—seemed to be… no one else, really.
But for her to call at a time like this… could it be the publishing house urging him to hand in pages…?
Thinking about it carefully, ever since Fūko arrived these last few days, Lin Feng really had been caught in a short burst of chaos.
He hadn't contacted Manzuki Miyako or sent her any manuscript pages for several days.
Because Kimetsu no Yaiba was updating two chapters a week right now, he really did need enough finished drafts to ensure uninterrupted publication.
But at the moment, Lin Feng really had no way to step away…
Especially with neither the Sealing Sword nor the Ma Fēngkǎ Orb found yet—no one knew if something even more unexpected would happen.
Compared to submitting his manuscript on time, it seemed that the task of "saving world peace" was more important…
But no matter what, he still had to answer the call.
"Hello? Miyako? I'm in the middle of something right now… What!?"
Originally, when Lin Feng picked up, he was still thinking about how to explain the current situation and maybe negotiate turning in the manuscript a couple days late.
But he hadn't expected that after listening to only two sentences, his expression would instantly grow extremely serious. He even frowned without realizing it.
"Alright. Mm. I understand. Thank you for the warning."
After hanging up, Lin Feng's expression became quite complicated.
"Lin Feng, what is it? Did Miyako call for something important?"
Among everyone present, only Shizuka knew Manzuki Miyako.
So when she saw Lin Feng's face darken after answering the call, curiosity rose and she asked.
For something to make Lin Feng look like that, it most likely wasn't about manuscript pages. Which meant something far more serious had happened.
"Everyone… we might need to hurry back immediately."
"Something may have happened in Tokyo."
He wasn't completely certain yet, but faint suspicions were already forming in Lin Feng's heart.
"Miyako just called to warn me about a potential emergency evacuation. She said that over Tokyo, a massive amount of dark clouds and lightning are gathering. There might be an enormous typhoon forming."
"A… typhoon?"
A trace of confusion crossed Shizuka's face.
But since the information came from Manzuki Miyako, it was unlikely to be false.
After all, Miyako's father, Dr. Manzuki, was a well-known researcher. He would never make such claims without certainty.
"We'll talk about the details when we get back. Doraemon."
As he spoke, Lin Feng looked at Doraemon and signaled to him.
"Mm, I know."
"Anywhere Door!"
Doraemon could clearly tell the gravity of the situation. The moment he saw how serious Lin Feng looked, he already sensed that something big was happening.
After all, this was happening in Tokyo—the city where they lived. They couldn't ignore it.
One had to admit, having the Anywhere Door was truly convenient.
One moment they were still on Dragon-Jaw Island.The next, after stepping through the door, they were back at the empty lot where they usually played.
At this moment, the sky above Tokyo indeed looked wrong.
Massive black clouds tangled with streaks of purple and golden lightning, flickering nonstop across the heavens.
And at the center of the swirling vortex… seemed to be the mountain behind their school.
"Let's go. We need to hurry over and see what happened."
After giving everyone a Take-copter, Doraemon immediately took the lead, flying toward the storm's center behind the school.
Although it was Lin Feng's first time using a Take-copter, once he placed it on his head and controlled his body to fly, he found it wasn't as difficult as he imagined.
He quickly grasped the basics.
Truly, these future gadgets were convenient beyond imagination.
With the Take-copters, everyone moved much faster, bypassing the streets and simply flying straight at low altitude. Soon, they reached the back mountain.
The storm gathering overhead now looked terrifying, with flashes of lightning erupting every few seconds.
And directly beneath the eye of the storm, a thin white stream of mist extended straight down to the lakeside.
When they reached the lake, they saw a faint, ethereal white silhouette.
"Th-Th-That's him!!!"
The moment he saw the figure clearly, Suneo immediately hid behind Gian, his voice trembling with fear.
He recognized him at a glance—the wicked sorcerer who had controlled his body before.
He had never seen Ulanda's true form, but back when he was hypnotized and possessed, those eerie red-glowing eyes left a deep scar in his memory.
Lin Feng's face also darkened.
At last, he understood why the storm was forming in the sky.
And he finally knew why—despite their desperate search on Dragon-Jaw Island—they never found the Sealing Sword or the third Ma Fēngkǎ Orb.
Because the orb… was floating right in front of Ulanda!
The Sealing Sword, which should have been embedded in the orb, was nowhere to be seen.
Which meant the seal on the Ma Fēngkǎ Orb had already been undone.
Ulanda was chanting… resurrecting the Wind Beast, Ma Fēngkǎ!
There was no time to think about why the orb that should have been sealed on the island would appear here in Tokyo.
All Lin Feng could do now was use every ounce of strength and every second he had… to stop Ulanda from reviving the wind monster Ma Fēngkǎ.
But when they tried to approach further, they were blocked.
Centered around Ulanda, a transparent hemisphere—stretching half a kilometer wide—blocked their way. They couldn't get in at all.
"This… this is a Barrier Field?!"
"That's a gadget from the twenty-second century!!?"
Doraemon recognized it at a glance, but what truly shocked him was—
How could Ulanda, a shaman sorcerer sealed hundreds of years ago, possibly have a gadget from the future…?
