Chapter 495: The Last Legendary Cooking Utensil
Hakuto didn’t know what Nyaruko’s purpose was, but he understood one thing: Nyaruko had deliberately damaged the Nine Provinces Barrier. Therefore, there was no need for her to live.
“Hehe, that has nothing to do with me. Yog-Sothoth did it. I merely helped them cover it up.”
Nyaruko looked at Hakuto, grinning. But Hakuto’s gaze gradually turned cold. Since he had confirmed that Nyaruko was involved, he no longer intended to spare her.
“Go get the Legendary Cooking Utensil. Fail, and die.”
Realizing Hakuto was serious, Nyaruko immediately put on a tearful face. She wanted to plead further, but Hakuto had completely lost interest in entertaining her.
In the end, Nyaruko had no choice but to leave helplessly and go find Yog-Sothoth to obtain the last piece of Legendary Cooking Utensil, as Hakuto had demanded.
But before Nyaruko could even set out, Hakuto saw countless brilliant spheres appear before him. He snorted coldly. “Come out. You came for me, didn’t you? Won’t you come out and meet me?”
A radiant entity appeared before Hakuto. Looking at this radiant entity, Hakuto said, “The last piece of Legendary Cooking Utensil is in your hands. How can I obtain it?”
“Pass my test, and you can obtain this last piece of Legendary Cooking Utensil.”
The meaning conveyed by the other party made Hakuto find it somewhat interesting.
“What has been the purpose of your so-called tests all along?”
It seemed that Hakuto and Yog-Sothoth had always been locked in a cycle of the latter testing the former. What was the purpose? It couldn’t be because he had somehow cuckolded them, could it?
He really couldn’t figure out why Yog-Sothoth kept causing him trouble. Hakuto didn’t remember having any enmity with them. The only thing that could possibly spark conflict was the Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young, but Hakuto only had an ordinary contract relationship with them.
Could it really be that Hakuto had caught their attention simply because he had contracted with the Black Goat?
“You will naturally know after you pass the test.”
“What test? I don’t have time right now.”
Now, Hakuto wouldn’t be careless with the Cthulhu Mythos Evil Gods. Nyaruko had still managed to trick him even after signing a contract. Now, Hakuto was very suspicious of what Yog-Sothoth wanted to do with him, and whether they were trying to trick him.
If their so-called test consumed too much of his time—say, one day inside equals one year outside—then Hakuto would be completely screwed.
“The final test is to find the piece of Legendary Cooking Utensil I have hidden.”
“Are you kidding me? The world is so vast, where am I supposed to look? And you’ve deliberately hidden it at that.”
“You will be given some clues. If you can find the Legendary Cooking Utensil through these clues, you will pass this test.”
After hearing what they said, Hakuto fell silent for a moment.
“Alright. What are the clues?”
“You see it, yet you don’t see it. It is before you, yet not before you. It has actually been in your hands all along.”
Listening to the clues Yog-Sothoth provided, Hakuto’s mind began to race, trying to figure out where this Legendary Cooking Utensil had been hidden.
But Yog-Sothoth clearly wasn’t going to let Hakuto find it that easily. Hakuto had no choice but to seek help from others.
Strictly speaking, Hakuto wasn’t much of a clever person. Since he couldn’t figure it out, he would let the smart people figure it out. They would surely succeed.
Then he would just have them tell him the answer.
Thinking this, Hakuto asked others. But unfortunately, he got the same result: they couldn’t immediately guess where Yog-Sothoth said the Legendary Cooking Utensil was hidden.
If they couldn’t guess now, they would eventually. And Hakuto didn’t necessarily have to pin all his hopes on this.
“Three days. If you cannot find the Legendary Cooking Utensil within three days, I will completely destroy it.”
Hearing what Yog-Sothoth said, Hakuto’s expression remained blank, as if he didn’t care at all about the Legendary Cooking Utensil.
But those who knew Hakuto understood that this was not indifference at all. Quite the opposite—he cared too much, to an extreme degree.
“Then search.”
Hakuto ignored them, thinking about what Yog-Sothoth’s words could possibly mean.
Suddenly, Hakuto looked at Nyaruko. His intuition told him that the last piece of Legendary Cooking Utensil was probably inseparable from Nyaruko. So his gaze fixed on her.
“The last piece of Legendary Cooking Utensil wouldn’t happen to be on you, would it?”
Nyaruko gave a dry laugh. “How could that be?”
Nyaruko’s reaction only made Hakuto more suspicious. He had originally just spoken casually, but now his suspicion seemed to be confirmed.
“Master, if I said this was a misunderstanding, would you believe me?”
Looking at Nyaruko, a flicker of coldness gleamed in Hakuto’s eyes. “Enough nonsense. Hand over the Legendary Cooking Utensil.”
Seeing Hakuto like this, Nyaruko put on an innocent expression.
“Since you won’t hand it over, I’ll take it myself.”
Hakuto drew the Da Xia Long Que, his eyes devoid of any emotion.
If Nyaruko hadn’t still been useful, Hakuto would have killed her 800 times already. Of course, the main reason was also that he probably couldn’t kill her. After all, this was an avatar of Nyarlathotep.
Although it seemed to have been abandoned now, that was just her story. It would be a ghost’s tale if Hakuto actually believed her.
“I’ll give it! I’ll give it, alright!”
Seeing that Hakuto was serious, Nyaruko shrieked. If that bastard Hakuto was serious, she would be in trouble. Hakuto had wanted to kill her for a long time.
Nyaruko pulled a pot out from under her skirt and tossed it directly to Hakuto. This pot was the Jade Dragon Pot. But…
Hakuto’s expression turned ugly. He looked at Nyaruko, his eyes filled with killing intent.
