The VIP elevator rose to the top floor and Yuan Zhisheng strode out. Sakura took off his windbreaker for him. Crow took the ancient sword from his hand and turned to clean it in the next room.
Weapons of this level are numbered alchemy weapons. They are often more effective than bullets against hybrids and must be cleaned and maintained after each use.
"Is there any news?" Yuan Zhisheng strode inside. He had just completed a mission.
"The scope has been expanded to ten miles around, but we still haven't found out who the person who met Miss Eriki was that night." Yashahui reported.
Yuan Zhisheng frowned, he vaguely felt that something was wrong with this matter.
"However, young master, we made some additional discoveries while investigating this matter." Yasha added.
"An additional discovery?" Yuan Zhisheng looked at him in surprise.
"It's about the academy's newest S-level student, Lu Mingfei." Yasha said solemnly.
Yuan Zhisheng said blankly: "Is it Lu Mingfei who failed so-and-so and so-and-so at the beginning of school last year, and then failed two subjects in one semester?"
He also graduated from Kassel College, but he attended the advanced course for one year. He graduated from the advanced course in 2003 and joined the Tokyo Executive Department at the age of 17. He paid more or less attention to the affairs in the college and occasionally
Log in to the Night Watch Forum.
But after all, he is now the head of the Japanese executive department. He often travels around Japan and does not have that much time to gossip. He only knows the name Lu Mingfei thanks to "the first person who committed suicide by committing suicide forty years ago."
He couldn't remember the title "S-Class", or the names of so-and-so and so-and-so.
But unfortunately, judging from the reactions on the Night Watch forum, the school's new S-class is somewhat unreliable.
"What does it have to do with him?" Yuan Zhisheng asked.
"We accidentally found out that Lu Mingfei arrived in Tokyo ten days ago and then disappeared on the streets of Akihabara." Yasha shrugged.
Yuan Zhisheng frowned and said, "He is here to perform the tasks of the academy?"
"No, no, no, we checked. There is no mission related to Tokyo issued by the academy. He came to Tokyo on a personal basis, and his first stop was Akihabara." Yasha shook his head.
"This sounds very otaku." Yuan Zhisheng paused and said, "So, what does disappearing on the street mean?"
"Young Master, please sit down first and listen to me explain in detail!" Yasha diligently pushed Yuan Zhisheng to sit behind the desk, and then opened the laptop.
"Watch this video first!"
Yuan Zhisheng looked at the laptop that Yasha pushed in front of him suspiciously, and was a little curious as to why this guy was so active today.
It wasn't until Sakura's voice sounded softly in his ears that he suddenly realized.
"This discovery is mainly due to Yasha."
Soon, a complete video was played in front of him.
Yuan Zhisheng subconsciously took out a cigarette from the cigarette case next to him, and as soon as he put it to his mouth, Sakura quietly lit it for him.
"This person... is Lu Mingfei?" Yuan Zhisheng exhaled a puff of smoke, raised his head and asked.
He had already guessed Yasha's intention of letting him watch this video first, but he still couldn't believe it.
Is the school night watch forum already so unreliable?
What kind of asshole is behind this forum?
"Yes!" Yasha replied in the affirmative, and then asked him mysteriously, "Boss, do you know when this video was shot?"
Yuan Zhisheng pondered for a while and asked tentatively: "Before Lu Mingfei came to Tokyo?"
Yasha's eyes widened and he lost his voice: "You can even guess this?!"
Yuan Zhisheng sighed and said: "Everything you did just now was a crazy hint to me, asking me to rely on this aspect."
"Is there any?" Yasha touched his face blankly.
The crow came back from cleaning the knife and laughed mockingly.
Yasha said bitterly: "Okay, boss, you have also seen it. This is Lu Mingfei's performance at a hybrid auction, and the auction was held on July 21, which was eleven days ago."
"You mean, Lu Mingfei flew directly to Tokyo after attending the auction? What did he do in Tokyo?" Yuan Zhisheng asked confused.
"I don't know." Yasha shrugged, "That's what makes us confused. We found out that Principal Angers was also present on the day of the auction. It was probably the principal who took him there. After that, they played at Six Flags Amusement Park all afternoon.
, Lu Mingfei came to Tokyo the next day."
Yuan Zhisheng's heart moved.
The principal took Lu Mingfei to play at Six Flags Amusement Park all afternoon?
As expected of being the only S-class student in the school, while everyone still thinks that attending the afternoon tea specially invited by the principal is a great honor, have the S-class students already spent a wonderful afternoon with the principal?
It sounds... quite like a father taking his son to an amusement park on the weekend.
"Lu Mingfei's first stop was Akihabara, but he disappeared after entering Akihabara." Sakura continued.
"What does disappearing mean?"
"Disappearing from surveillance, we lost control of his whereabouts. Until he reappeared at the airport and took a plane back to Chicago, his whereabouts during this period remained a mystery."
"It's impossible for Lu Mingfei to disappear from under our eyes on his own. Is there someone helping him?" Yuan Zhisheng frowned, and he discovered the key.
"Yes, but we didn't find out who was helping him." Sakura said succinctly.
Yuan Zhisheng was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Do you suspect that the person who appeared next to Eryi that day was Lu Mingfei?"
Yaksha and Crow looked at each other in surprise, "Hey, Master, your guess is too illogical, isn't it?"
Sakura was silent for a while, looked directly into his eyes, and nodded.
Crow and Yasha's eyes widened again, "Hey, Sakura, why are you following the young master?"
"A woman's intuition." Sakura said calmly.
Yaksha and Crow were killed instantly.
Yuan Zhisheng looked at Yasha and said, "What did you originally think? Lu Mingfei came to Tokyo."
Yasha said numbly: "I originally thought he came to Tokyo with a secret mission from the academy. Young Master, you have also seen that Lu Mingfei and Ange attended the mission together. The principal values him very much, and our relationship with the academy has become increasingly tense recently.
It’s getting worse.”
The source is childish and silent.
This is true. Ever since Masamune Tachibana became the head of the family, the eight Sheqi families have begun to move in the direction of getting rid of the secret party.
The reason why he went to the academy to study for a year was also Tachibana Masamune's intention. Nowadays, the eight Sheqi families are still unable to get rid of the secret party and must surrender to it. As the head of the Minamoto family, he went to the school to study, just like an ancient prince going to an enemy country.
Studying in the academy is about reading in name, but in reality it is about protons.
Although... that period of time can be regarded as one of the few relaxing times for him.
Yuan Zhisheng slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and as the smoke filled his eyes, his eyes became a little distracted.
He enrolled in 2003, and his admission grade is A. The grade is directly determined by the principal. The 3e exam is conducted in Japan.
Of course, the so-called 3e exam is just a cover. Yan Ling Emperor has no effect on the hybrids of the Sheqi Eight Family, because the family inherits the blood of the White King, and is affected by the [Oracle], and the Black King's [Emperor] has no effect on them.
Useless.
When he first arrived at the school, he kept a low profile and did not reveal the specificity of his bloodline. Except for people in the same family, no one knew that the 16-year-old boy was already the head of the Sheqi Bajiayuan family.
When he entered school, a generation of legends came to an end. It was said that the most brilliant student in the school at that time fell from the sky due to an accident while performing a mission.
Yuan Zhisheng had never seen that person before. He had only seen photos of him and his companions on the Night Watch forum. He was indeed as scorching as the sun. At that time, Yuan Zhisheng was even a little ashamed of himself. He was confident in his bloodline.
He will not lose to the opponent, what he lacks is his soul.
Real strength should be from the inside out, body and mind integrated.
At that time, he was still immersed in the confusion of killing his brother.
He killed his brother to protect absolute justice, but the price was to be accompanied by pain for the rest of his life.
In the video just now, Yuan Zhisheng could vaguely see the shadow of that person in Lu Mingfei, the same pride, the same one that made it difficult to look directly at him.
Yuan Zhisheng stood up and came to the floor-to-ceiling window.
Tonight is another rainy night. The colorful neon signs in the rain cover a large area of the field of view. Traffic is passing by on the elevated road. The high-rise buildings are still brightly lit. A white bird flies anxiously into the night sky and lands on a building.
He looked around nervously on the rooftop, his chest rising and falling violently.
It was a seagull, probably flying over from the port area. Tokyo is close to the sea, and seabirds often stray into the center of the city.
Yuan Zhisheng thought that if he were such a white gull, unable to find a way out in this dazzling maze, surrounded by heavy rain, noisy people and engines, he would probably be so frightened, right?
He turned around and put the cigarette butt in the ashtray and asked, "Where's Eriyi?"
"Miss, I'm watching Ultraman Tiga in the house." Sakura replied calmly.
Yuan Zhisheng couldn't help but rub his temples and said: "Or is it twenty-one?"
"Yes, it's still twenty-one."
"Isn't she tired of watching it?" Yuan Zhisheng asked with a wry smile.
Sakura didn't answer him this time because Sakura didn't know the answer either.
"That CD is the only clue so far, right?"
"Yes."
"Then let's follow this line and check which stores sell Ultraman Tiga's CDs on that day."
Yasha and Crow were stunned and said: "Boss, are you crazy? How long will this investigation take?"
After this sentence was spoken, Yuan Zhisheng felt that it was inappropriate. He was silent for a while and sighed: "I take this sentence back. It doesn't make much sense. Okay, let's focus on Lu Mingfei. I want to know."
What exactly did he do when he came to Japan, and who is helping him clean up the mess?"
Sakura nodded and said, "Are you going to see Miss Eriki next?"
"Well, I'm going to take a shower first. I still smell like blood." Yuan Zhisheng responded and walked out of the office.
He went to the private bathroom in the building and took a shower to make sure he didn't smell of blood. Then he walked through the passage equipped with an exhaust device and came to the white air-tight door.
The twelve safety bolts made a soft "click" sound at the same time, just like the 20 cm thick carbide door of a bank vault slowly opening, and the fresh scent of white sandalwood hit your face.
Behind the vault door is a long walkway, with wooden planks on the ground and wooden sliding doors on both sides. Candles are lit behind the sliding doors, and the warm candlelight casts a grid shadow on Yuan Zhisheng.
Time has accumulated on every wooden plank, and the wooden floor is as bright as a mirror and spotless due to years of scrubbing.
Yuan Zhisheng took off his shoes, walked barefoot on the wooden floor, and came to a sliding door.
"Eriyi, I'm coming in." He knocked on the door, waited for three seconds, and then opened the door.
Inside the room was a tatami floor with a kotatsu table in the middle. Yuan Zhisheng subconsciously looked up at the wall.
There are not many decorations on the plain white walls, only three statues hanging on them, namely Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi and Susano'o.
Amaterasu stood in the sunshine, holding the Yasaka Qiongyu; Tsukuyomi stood under a dark full moon, holding the Yata mirror; Susanoo was a male god, showing the face of a boy, holding a Japanese mythology
The ultimate divine sword in "Tian Congyun" stands on the corpse of eight giant dragons.
Yuan Zhisheng stood at the door quietly for a few seconds before looking away from the wall.
Apart from these three statues, there are no other decorations in the living room, not even the flower arrangements common in Japanese homes, and there is no furniture.
Miko costumes were hung neatly in the open closet.
There was a faint light coming from the back room.
Yuan Zhisheng walked into the back room.
The style of the back room is the same as the outside, except that the kotatsu table is replaced by a bed on the floor.
The only thing that can be used for "enjoyment" is the huge LCD TV
And now on this huge LCD TV, the tokusatsu film Ultraman Tiga is playing.
Eri, wearing a miko uniform, sat on the bed on the floor, resting her elbows on her knees and her hands on her chin, with her back to Minamoto and watching the TV intently.
She looked at it very seriously and did not look back at Yuan Zhisheng at all.
The light from the LCD screen was the only light source in the room, illuminating Eri's delicate little face.
She is really beautiful. Yuan Zhisheng has always been proud of having such a beautiful sister.
For a long time, he didn't know the identity of Eri. He only remembered that the first time Tachibana Masamune brought Eri to meet him was in the shrine. The strong wind was blowing the cherry snow all over the sky, and Eri was lying on the hospital bed.
Wearing a ventilator.
Masamune Tachibana said that this is the only descendant of the Uesugi family we have found. Her bloodline has been recognized by the family heads, but her health is not very good and she needs medical staff to be by her side anytime and anywhere. Today happens to be the time when she is not feeling well.
, you can only meet her like this.
Yuan Zhisheng walked to the bedside and looked at the girl who looked healthy but had a dull look in her eyes. Her neck was wrapped in a bandage. It was said that she injured herself when she struggled out of control. He couldn't help but pity her.
He also liked her, so he took out the newly bought nds game console from his pocket and handed it to her as a gift for the first meeting.
Speaking of which, Eri started to like playing games at that time. Minamoto Zhisheng simply couldn’t imagine Eri’s life in those years without game consoles. She would always live in the intensive care unit, waiting for others to ask her questions.
Do you feel better today? Listening to the monotonous beeping of the heartbeat device...
Like a monster isolated from the world.
From that moment on, his feelings for Eri were confirmed, which was the love of a brother for his sister. He had lost a brother, and the vacant position needed a sister to fill it.
At this moment, Yuan Zhisheng's heart suddenly moved.
Eri is born with a face that is neither sad nor happy. Even though playing games with Minamoto as her companion is her favorite thing to do, she rarely shows a smile.
But after all, they had been together for a long time, and Yuan Zhisheng could still feel her emotional changes.
Such as now.
Minamoto Zhisheng could feel Eri's breathing a little hurriedly, and her eyes were looking at the LCD screen without blinking.
He was a little confused.
The cause of all this is of course the special effects film Ultraman Tiga on the screen.
But what kind of charm does Tiga have that allows Erika to watch so many divas in a row, and still be deeply attracted, because the storyline in it has such strong mood swings?
Yuan Zhisheng couldn't help but think of the past.
When he was a child, he owned a figure of Ultraman Hikari. The name means 'light'. The paint is a beautiful blue, which is completely different from the red of other Ultraman. The strongest weapon is the knight's lightsaber.
,very handsome.
It is said on TV that Ultraman is a partner of justice, and as long as they become Ultraman's partner, they can also become partners of justice.
At that time, he firmly believed that as long as he bought Ultraman's figure, he would become Ultraman's friend.
No matter how powerful the monster is, it will eventually be defeated by a righteous partner.
Yuan Zhisheng looked at the LCD TV with confusion.
There is a silly-looking monster on TV. It joins the circus and performs around with the circus. Its name is Durban. Durban and the circus people depend on each other and live a life of walking around.
One day, the evil monster Enemina targeted Durban and began to hunt him down, because Durban can release fluctuations that neutralize electromagnetic waves and is Enemina's nemesis.
When Enemina controlled humans to go berserk and attack each other, the timid Durban stood up and chose to protect humans. It was quickly beaten away by Enemina, and at this moment Tiga, who represented justice, shined.
Appeared on the stage and stood in front of Durban.
With the help of Durban, Tiga defeated the evil Eneng Mena, and peace was restored to the world.
It is a simple story, and even because it was produced earlier in the year, many parts seem very rough. Yuan Zhisheng rubbed his nose and really didn't understand what its charm was.
Until the end of the episode, the cute Durban stayed in the circus in the shape of a goat to say goodbye to everyone.
Eriyi lowered her head and scribbled something on the paper.
Before Yuan Zhisheng could look over, Eliyi turned around, her eyes sparkling as if there was light, and she revealed the note in front of Yuan Zhisheng.
"Will Ultraman protect kind monsters?"
Minamoto was a little confused about whether to laugh or cry, but he patiently wanted to have a good talk with Eriki.
But he suddenly froze.
Why did Eri Yi ask such a question suddenly?
She has been watching this episode of Ultraman Tiga for many days in a row. Is this a simple question that she has been thinking about?
Minamoto knew very well that Eriki's worldview was immature because she had no exposure to the outside world and all she had access to were games and cartoons.
She built her own world in her imagination. For example, Gundams and Lelouchs fought in the same time and space, and Saint Seiyas and Ghost in the Shell also existed at the same time.
He suddenly realized something.
The reason why Eriki has been watching this episode repeatedly these days is because she is thinking about a question that has confused her for a long time.
Will Ultraman be willing to protect the kind little monster?
So why is she struggling with this issue?
Because in her previous worldview, the righteous Ultraman would defeat all monsters. No matter how powerful the monsters were, they would eventually fall at the feet of the righteous Ultraman?
Damn...
He overlooked one crucial thing.
Eri Yi is different from him!
He used to follow Ultraman from the perspective of an ordinary person, but Eriyi is not!
Eri never sees the whole show from the perspective of Ultraman and a child, she sees it from the perspective of a monster!
She knows very well that she is different from ordinary people!
Ultraman is actually a horror movie to her. This movie tells her the truth of the world over and over again, that evil monsters will be defeated by the righteous Ultraman.
But...why has Eryi never confided this to herself?
Yuan Zhisheng suddenly got the answer.
His heart was falling straight down as if falling into an endless abyss.
What followed was a deep-seated fear.
Of course Eriki would not tell herself, how could she tell herself?
She knew that she was a ghost, and a very evil ghost.
The place where she lives has a door made of alloy that is 20 centimeters thick. There is a long metal passage behind the door. There is a device for extracting air in the passage. It can make people walking in it comatose at any time by reducing the air pressure. There is also a metal passage at the end.
There is another security door…
Her success in running away from home and escaping outside the building was purely due to their indulgence.
She knew that she was a ghost, so she always said that she would not cause trouble to anyone and would listen to her brother...
She tried her best to play the role of a well-behaved little monster, because Ultraman would come to visit a well-behaved little monster later, right?
In Eriki's eyes, what kind of existence is she?
He is the head of the Yuan family.
He is the head of the Japan Execution Department.
He is the ghost slayer of the Sheqi Eight Clan.
he is……
Righteous partner!
He is the Ultraman who will eventually kill all monsters in Eriki's eyes!
Yuan Zhisheng suddenly felt very cold.
Heart-to-bone cold.
The pressure in my chest was almost suffocating, as if I couldn't breathe.
He seemed to be back on that rainy night again.
There is a rainy night in everyone's heart, which contains the most painful past events. Once touched, it will cause piercing pain.
On that rainy night, in order to uphold justice, he killed his own brother and threw his body into the well.
Maybe one day, he will pierce the knife into Eriki's chest like he killed a young girl...
It's like another reincarnation.
Yuan Zhisheng suddenly trembled in fear. He yelled, stood up, and staggered back until he was in a corner with no way to retreat.
The overwhelming fear finally trapped him.
He wants to escape from here, escape from Tokyo, escape from Japan, escape from the mixed race world!
He was supposed to be Amaterasu, standing in the sunshine holding the Yasaka Qiongqu Yu, but now he is as timid as a lost dog.
But the panicked man froze again and came back to his senses incredulously.
Because he saw Eriki slowly lowering her head, the note in her hand hanging down, like a child who had done something wrong, her hands tightly grasped together.
He felt that his heart was being bitten by countless insects, and it was heartbreaking.
Minamoto stumbled forward, knelt down on the ground, and hugged Eri Yi's thin body into his arms.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." He murmured these three words repeatedly, letting regret eat away at his soul.
He has never been a qualified older brother, but he put Eri in the position of his younger sister without authorization.
He never fulfilled his brother's duties, and the care he gave her was limited to playing game consoles with her.
But she has grown up, is tall and graceful, and has graceful curves. She can already leave herself and go to the outside world. Her life should not be bound to this dark room!
He once paid the most expensive price for justice and killed his own brother.
And this time...
He suddenly wanted to be selfish. This chapter has been completed!
