Caesar stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, leisurely drinking a glass of ice-cold gin.
It's their second night in Japan.
It was still raining outside the window, the patter seemed to have no beginning and no end.
Night falls in Tokyo, and the neon lights on the long streets light up one after another from east to west. Tokyo under the rain curtain is covered with a hazy veil. From a sports girl in plain clothes to a seductive lady, the lights and wine are dizzy in the rain curtain. Became one piece.
In the past two days, they have received warm hospitality from the Japanese branch.
Breakfast was delivered directly to the suite, and then they visited the Japanese branch's base in Tokyo and were personally summoned by the heads of the eight Sheqi families.
Lunch was arranged at a French restaurant with three Michelin stars.
For dinner, the chef himself will prepare top-notch Japanese cuisine.
The schedule was full throughout the day, just like the imperial ministers of the airborne branch. The branch staff diligently tried to please the imperial ministers, hoping that the ministers could help and say good things when they went back to meet the emperor.
But Caesar knew that all this was just an illusion.
"You look a little weird today."
Chu Zihang walked out of the bathroom and sat on the sofa by the window.
"Is it that obvious?"
Caesar carried a bottle of wine, threw himself into the sofa opposite Chu Zihang, and closed his eyes comfortably.
"I know you, so it's obvious to me." Chu Zihang said calmly, "There is an old Chinese saying that the person who knows you best is always your enemy."
Caesar was silent for a moment and chuckled: "That's true. Okay, okay, let me ask you, what do you think of Mizuko?"
"Mei... is Yuan Zhisheng?" Chu Zihang recalled his interactions with Yuan Zhisheng in the past two days, "He seems to be a resolute guy."
Caesar poured a glass of wine, shook his head, and said nothing.
"You were right before, going into the sea is very dangerous." Caesar narrowed his eyes and said, "But the most dangerous thing is not only under the sea, but also at sea."
"What did you find?" Chu Zihang asked.
"I don't know what to tell you, but it is indeed dangerous to go into the sea."
"What...what do you mean now?" Chu Zihang asked doubtfully.
Caesar rubbed his wine glass, remained silent for a moment and said: "We still have to go to the bottom of the sea. Although it is dangerous, it is not a dead end, but I am still a little unhappy."
"accurate?"
"I thought Meizuo would be our friend," Caesar said calmly, "but he betrayed us."
Chu Zihang waited for his next words.
"Do you know about the 'Nibelungen Plan'?" Caesar suddenly said, "This is a bloodline strengthening plan, and you are also one of the candidates."
"Lu Mingfei and I are both candidates. Of course, you can't compare with us now. You have fallen behind."
He kindly comforted Chu Zihang, patted him on the shoulder, and said regretfully,
"There's nothing you can do about it. Who makes it impossible for you to achieve a suitable record?"
Chu Zihang's face was expressionless.
He knew that this guy was referring to the achievement of killing the Dragon King.
Within the academy, the achievement of "Caesar killed Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire at the Three Gorges Dam" is still recognized.
He used to think so too.
He felt that he was worthy of being Caesar, and his pride was not without reason.
But since I realized the true face of my junior brother, I then thought that my junior brother was also present during the battle of the Three Gorges Dam...
The truth is self-evident.
But it was obviously impossible to say this.
So he could only watch Caesar wink at him, looking regretful but actually feeling proud.
"My annoying uncle revealed to me the core of this plan, which is a plan to purify blood." Caesar lowered his voice and said word by word,
"What I mean by purification is beyond the critical blood limit!"
"The guy told me that this plan will eventually create a mixed-blood monarch. Although it is incredible, my uncle never speaks without hesitation, especially in front of me. He said that the family loves me very much. The family does love me very much, but the family does not
like……"
Caesar suddenly paused, and said in a calm and casual tone, "I went astray, let's get back to the point. This plan, they say, can create a hybrid monarch that is comparable to, or even surpasses, the Dragon King!"
"I know you don't believe it." Caesar looked solemn, "But I have to say..."
"I believe it." Chu Zihang interrupted him.
Caesar:"……"
Chu Zihang's unconventional operation made him choke hard.
asshole!
Would a normal person believe such a thing so casually?!
Or from the mouth of an old enemy!
It’s not without reason that he hates this guy!
Chu Zihang sat cross-legged opposite Caesar, his expression calm and composed.
He has already seen such an existence from a mixed race to the realm of a monarch, and even beyond the monarch.
Odin reached this realm, and then Loki, who stole Odin's power, can also be regarded as such a person.
Both of them have surpassed the level of the four great monarchs.
The path Odin took in the beginning was the path to becoming a god.
This is what Xia Mi told him. Xia Mi believed that his violent bloodshed was one of the "prototypes" of the road to becoming a god.
Chu Zihang agrees with this.
Because dad mentioned in the information recorded on the basement wall that the elite of the secret party Lion Heart Society were completely wiped out, and the road to becoming a god failed.
And violent blood is the secret technique mastered by the Lionheart Club!
He and Xia Mi had discussed the truth about the Cuiyu Record before, and Xia Mi suspected that what the Cuiyu Record recorded was actually the road to becoming a god.
Xia Mi doesn't know what the true path to becoming a god is.
This road has always been firmly in the hands of the Dragon Clan Elders Council, and it is regarded as forbidden.
However, Norns also mentioned the "Road to Godhood" in front of him.
She said that his father was targeted by Loki because he received a "key" to the path to becoming a god.
If he guessed correctly, the "key" was what was in the box on that rainy night.
It's a pity that the box has fallen into Loki's hands.
"The family will never lie about this kind of thing, so this matter is most likely true."
Caesar kept a straight face, as if he hadn't heard what Chu Zihang just said, and continued, "In my uncle's words, the mixed-blood monarch represents the plural word spirit, and his bloodline advantage is comparable to that of the Dragon King. Do you know the plural word spirit?"
Chu Zihang said: "If they are dragon kings, they can control all low-level speech spirits. Simple plural speech spirits cannot compare with the real dragon king."
Caesar was startled: "You know the Dragon King so well? Did the principal tell you?"
Chu Zihang nodded.
It's impossible for him to say that he actually found a Dragon King girlfriend.
"Actually, I also think there is a problem here." Caesar said in a low voice, "I have faced Norton directly and understand the meaning of the Dragon King. If you are not of enough blood, you are not even worthy of looking directly at this creature. Humans can really achieve this.
Kind of height?"
"But my uncle's behavior at that time told me that he really thought so!"
"I know him. He loves my blood and will not lie to me about this kind of thing. If he says that this road can lead to a mixed-race monarch, then it proves that in his eyes, this road is really feasible.
.”
Chu Zihang frowned and said: "Where do they get the confidence, just because of the 'Nibelung Plan'?"
"I don't know, but he said at the time that this is an ability possessed by the Secret Party Presbyterian Church."
"Yes, the Secret Party Presbyterian Council." Caesar looked out the window with his teacup in hand, not noticing Chu Zihang's abnormality. "The predecessor of the school board of directors, the current leader of the secret party is the principal, and the other school board members are all members of the Presbyterian Council.
."
Chu Zihang was shocked and confused.
Is it a coincidence?
Yes, it's just a title.
"If I'm not wrong, I'm afraid it has something to do with my family." Caesar said calmly, his eyes falling on the silhouette of a flying bird in the distance.
"?"
Chu Zihang said nothing, but his frown showed his attitude.
"I know my uncle well. He is the kind of guy who fights for everything and always holds good things in his hands. Even if the enemy is the principal, he will pounce on him and take a bite."
Caesar spread his hands and said,
"If the Nibelung Plan can really create a Dragon King-level hybrid, he will pounce on it at all costs and carve up a piece of it. It doesn't need more, he just needs to occupy one of the pieces, a piece that can't be missed, and then everyone will be back.
The starting line is equal, and no one can take the lead. But this time he didn't take action, he just wanted me to compete for this spot. Even if I gave up on my own initiative, he didn't take action."
Chu Zihang pondered: "You mean, he has already seized a piece of land that cannot be ignored, so he doesn't worry about others being able to get ahead of you?"
"right."
It is indeed much easier for Caesar Xindao to talk to Chu Zihang. He can always sense the true intention you want to express.
"This is how he described the future to me. After all the dragons are buried, the world pattern will be rewritten. It will be the era of hybrids. The Gattuso family will be on top of the world, and I will become...the emperor!"
Chu Zihang said solemnly: "The Gattuso family wants you to become the emperor of the new era?"
"Since you want to be an emperor, you must stand at the top of the mixed race." Caesar said softly, "Do you understand what I mean?"
"Your family...has methods similar to the Nibelung Plan?" Chu Zihang looked shocked.
"Guesses, guesses, they're all guesses." Caesar shrugged, "Relax, my uncle has never told me that, I'm just guessing."
"Why are you telling me this?"
"I suspect that the family has used this power on me."
"Why are you so suspicious?"
"Because I awakened the second spirit of speech."
"What Yanling?"
"The prophet is owned by Qilan. I have seen a lot of things in the future in the past two days, and some of them have been verified to be true." Caesar said seriously, "I know you don't believe it, but I knew it today last night.
Everything that happened.”
"...No wonder, I thought you were acting weird today, especially during dinner." Chu Zihang whispered.
small book booth
The head chef personally prepared the dinner.
But before he could show off his superb skills, Caesar expressed that he didn't want to watch "Life Like Summer Flowers" and asked if he could stage a "Death Like Autumn Leaves", which made the chef of the department dumbfounded on the spot.
Later, Chu Zihang learned that the chef had originally planned to make a dish called "Born as a Summer Flower", trying to present the grandest and most gorgeous aspect of Japanese cuisine to them.
But before it started, Caesar called him to stop.
No one knows how Caesar predicted this.
"Are you sure you awakened a prophet?" Chu Zihang asked.
"I don't know, but if you can predict the future, you are basically a prophet, right?" Caesar asked rhetorically.
Of course he knew that his dream of predicting the future had nothing to do with the prophet, but the veiled woman who appeared that night.
But Chu Zihang couldn't prove this kind of thing. He even doubted whether he was dreaming that night.
He could only find another reasonable excuse to put it off, and give priority to his goal of persuading Chu Zihang to trust him.
"Okay, it's not important right now. What's important is what else did you see?"
"A lot, we went into the sea, and then Misaku betrayed us."
"What do we see under the sea?"
"I can't remember clearly. This dream was not so clear. I only remember that we encountered a near-death situation, but we escaped in the end."
"...Then we shouldn't go into the sea."
"Yes." Caesar scratched his head and said, "I don't think we should take risks, but I didn't see clearly what was on the bottom of the sea. Besides, we have no reason to refuse to go to the sea to perform the mission."
Chu Zihang fell into deep thought.
He was weighing whether they should go into the sea. He was not even sure whether what Caesar said was true or false, but he knew that Caesar would not lie on this occasion unless his brain was squeezed by the door.
Junior Brother's phone call last night promised that...
"Tuk-tuk."
Caesar and Chu Zihang looked up at the door at the same time.
Someone knocked on the door.
"It's not a waiter, it's just a person, probably a male."
With Kamitachi, Caesar roughly confirmed the identity of the outsider in an instant.
Chu Zihang and him looked at each other, and they both got up at the same time and came to the door.
After opening the door, unexpectedly there was a young man standing outside the door.
The young man bowed slightly and handed over the file bag in his hand: "Our boss asked me to give this to Lu Jun. Please check it."
"Lu Jun? Who is your boss?"
Caesar asked warily, looking outside the door.
None of them reached out rashly to accept the package.
Because the Japanese branch commissioner who was supposed to be guarding the door disappeared.
This scene made the two of them suspicious of the identity of the person in front of them.
"Our boss said that if Mr. Lu doesn't want to accept it, let me tell you something." The young man raised his head and said with a smile, "Jun Lu, I look forward to our reunion."
Chu Zihang quickly drew his sword, but was still half a beat too late. The young man threw the bag over lightly, leaving only a few words before disappearing at the end of the corridor.
"It contains information about the Lenin. It is a gift from the boss to Mr. Lu."
Chu Zihang's knife that was cutting straight down stalled and cut sideways in mid-air.
Caesar reached out and grasped the bag firmly.
"It should be a videotape." Caesar just touched the file bag and confirmed.
He broke the seal and found a video tape inside.
"The man jumped out of the window and ran away." Chu Zihang returned from the end of the corridor, "This is an old-fashioned video tape. We need an old-fashioned video recorder."
Speaking of this, he felt a little embarrassed: "You can only go to the flea market to look for this stuff."
"No, no, no." Caesar waved his hand, "This is the highest-standard suite. It has everything. Even if it is not available, the hotel will provide it to you."

By the way, why do you all think that the veiled girl is Norns? The difference between the two is quite obvious, right?
