It is famous for preserving a large number of "Edo Period" style buildings, the most famous of which is naturally the famous "Sensoji Temple".
In a courtyard not far from Sensoji Temple, the architecture of the building also imitates the Edo period style. The angled balcony has an open window sill on the second floor. From this position, you can just see the famous "Thunder Gate" of Sensoji Temple.
The weather on this day was excellent. Under the sunshine, you could see the crowds of tourists in front of Sensoji Temple from a distance.
Chen Nuo sat in front of the window sill with a pot of tea in front of him.
A maid in kimono knelt and sat aside, quietly playing with the tea set, her head bowed respectfully, her movements very gentle.
After drinking a cup of tea, Chen Nuo raised his eyebrows.
There was movement outside the door.
When the door was opened, there was a man in a suit outside. He bowed to Chen Nuo inside the door, then stepped aside and pushed a wheelchair in.
In a wheelchair, Hisako Ishii, wearing a light white kimono, smiled lightly at Chen Nuo.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting. I was injured and had difficulty moving, so I came a step late."
Chen Nuo looked at Hisako Ishii.
The woman's face was pale, and it was obvious that her injuries had not healed in just three days. Moreover, Chen Nuo could smell a faint medicinal smell on this woman's body.
Ishii Hisako's men waved their hands, and the maid in the room immediately stood up and exited the door. Then the people outside bowed and closed the door, leaving only Chen Nuo and Ishii Hisako in the room.
Ishii Hisako turned the wheelchair in front of Chen Nuo: "I'm sorry, I'm injured, so I can't make tea for you today."
Chen Nuo smiled nonchalantly: "Is the injury serious? I remember that I was very measured in my actions."
Ishii Hisako sighed: "You were very measured in your attack, but I made the knife edge a little larger. Otherwise, the injury would be too slight, which might make people suspicious."
After a pause, Hisako Ishii whispered: "I was originally worried that you wouldn't call me."
Chen Nuo shook his head: "Killing Xiao Lin and Aso is equivalent to doing you a huge favor. Giving kindness to others without asking for anything in return? I'm not that great."
"Very good, I have been waiting for your call." Hisako Ishii smiled.
Chen Nuo picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then looked out the window: "This meeting place was chosen well."
"...It's really good." Hisako Ishii also looked out the window.
After a few seconds of silence, the woman suddenly sighed softly: "Sensoji Temple... is also the place where I first met the leader."
"..." Chen Nuo frowned and looked at this woman. He could tell that this woman's tone was very complicated, as if there was an indescribable taste in her tone when she mentioned her leader.
There is nostalgia and emotion, and there seems to be a hint of unwillingness and ridicule hidden behind it!
"A girl from a rural family on Kyushu Island.
She came from an ordinary background. Although she worked tirelessly on her studies and came to Tokyo to attend an ordinary university. But in a place like Tokyo, it is difficult for a girl who comes from an ordinary family and only has an ordinary university degree to gain a foothold.
Until this girl met that man.
It can be said... I am actually very grateful to that person. He took me to another level of the world, expanded my horizons, let me see more possibilities, and let me know that a person can achieve anything if he strives to the extreme.
What an achievement...
In other words, how much damage it causes!"
Chen Nuo shook his head: "I'm not here to listen to you reminisce about the bitter and sweet. Everyone has their own history of struggle, either wonderful or mediocre.
Save these words for when you have the opportunity to find someone to write a memoir or autobiography in the future.
I'm not interested in hearing this."
"Yes!" Hisako Ishii nodded: "I made you laugh. It's probably because I was excited for a while, probably because I revisited my old place."
After a pause, Hisako Ishii suddenly raised his head, looked at Chen Nuo, and said straight to the point: "If I guessed correctly, you should not be from RB!"
Chen Nuo raised his eyebrows.
He looked at Hisako Ishii with a smile: "So, that day in the small courtyard of your headquarters, you said to me, 'We RB people...', at that time, you had already guessed, or in other words, at that time,
Are you testing me?"
Ishii Hisako nodded calmly: "Not bad."
"Aren't you afraid of spying on a monster dragon that you can't resist?"
"I have to cooperate with a powerful being that I can't resist... Even if I know that I am weak, I must do my best to get some chips for myself, even if it is a trivial one." Hisako Ishii did not give in at all, and said decisively: "This
It is a last resort and a necessary approach.
Even if these chips actually have no practical meaning!
Even in the process of talking to you, these chips can only be exchanged for a little, a little... your respect.
Let me gain a slight psychological advantage.
Let you feel that I am not a waste, that I am smart enough and have the slightest qualification to cooperate with you.
I must do the same!"
I have to say that this woman, Hisako Ishii, is the most powerful of all the women Chen Nuo has encountered in his two lifetimes.
Psychologically the most powerful!
Chen Nuo smiled uncertainly, and said slowly: "Then, let's get down to business. I like to be direct... I have done you such a big favor, what kind of favor should you give me in return?
With the deaths of Kobayashi and Aso, you should now be the actual person in charge of your organization!
As for your leader, he is still in prison and has been for several years. His control over your organization must have been weakened too much.
Now, you should be the de facto second generation."
"Yes." Hisako Ishii did not deny it. After nodding his head and admitting it, he said, "But... becoming a second generation member of the Truth Society is not my pursuit."
Chen Nuo smiled.
"If the second generation is not your pursuit, what else do you want to do? Run for prime minister?"
Ishii Hisako's tone was a little mocking: "Are you running for prime minister... It's not like the leader didn't think about it. He tried to participate in politics with the influence of the church, but he failed in the election for a regional councillor, so he was severely punished.
Wake up and realize which path you are taking is just a daydream."
Well, Chen Nuo also knew about this when he checked the history of the Truth Society in his previous life.
That leader... when he first started his career, he had indeed daydreamed about participating in politics, but he ended up losing miserably.
Then it became more and more extreme.
Chen Nuo looked at the woman quietly and frowned: "Then what do you want?"
Hisako Ishii looked calm, but his eyes still showed a trace of uncontrollable excitement.
"Aren't you curious?
That guy, he was just a small worker who massaged people in a massage parlor. He was a blind man who was blind in both eyes and had disabilities in his legs and feet! In the first few decades of his life, he accomplished nothing, did nothing, and had no talent at all.
!
Why did he suddenly rise up in the wind, soar into the sky, and become the leader of a religion that responds to hundreds of calls and confuses thousands of people?
From a poor person to a big shot with hundreds of billions of assets?
From a pariah who no one else is interested in even looking at, to a religious leader who single-handedly confuses the hearts of countless people?
How did all this change and how did it happen?
Aren't you curious?"
Chen Nuo smiled.
"Are you here to tell me a story? You have good storytelling skills, and you know how to use questions to elicit suspense to attract people... But!"
Chen Nuo's smile gradually turned cold: "I'm not here to listen to stories!"
Hisako Ishii was not intimidated by Chen Nuo!
The woman slowly said: "If there is no answer, it is called a story!
If there is an answer... it can be called... a plan!"
Chen Nuo stared at Hisako Ishii's face carefully for a few seconds.
"Tell me your plan."
Hisako Ishii breathed a sigh of relief.
"One year, one day, a guy who had never accomplished anything, by chance, walked into a place and got something.
And then...everything happened after that."
"So?" Chen Nuo asked.
"I happen to know where that place is."
Chen Nuo shook his head: "This story is even more tacky. Is it a story about finding a treasure?"
Hisako Ishii was a little anxious: "It's not a treasure hunt!"
There was a strange look in this woman's eyes: "There is something in that place!
He has a [key] in his hand that can open the door to that place.
But this key has a limit on the number of times it can be used. It can only be used three times at most before it will break!
According to the information I know, that person went in twice. After the first time, he changed from a taciturn or even inarticulate person to a person who can talk eloquently and even have a strange sense of humor in his words.
The leader who bewitches the power of Renxin!
And the second time, he entered again, and when he came back, he became a magical magician who could disturb other people's minds, even their vision, and create illusions for people. This is why the Truth Society has always claimed that the leader can do magic and is the biggest reason for the reincarnation of gods.
rely.
Although his so-called displays of special abilities are all scams!
But...he did use this trick to deceive many people, and even had TV cameras filming and interviewing him!"
Chen Nuo's tone was very indifferent: "What you said has made my interest waning. If it's just this kind of thing, I'm going to get up and leave after one minute."
Cold sweat broke out on Ishii Hisako's forehead. She slapped her hands on the table. Regardless of the pain of her injuries, she stood up with support and yelled: "Aren't these magical enough? Sir! There may be a hidden treasure hidden in that place.
An artifact that can change a person’s destiny!
An artifact that can transform an ordinary person into a magical big shot!!"
Chen Nuo shook his head: "That's what you think is 'miraculous', but in my world, I have seen too many 'miracles'. Your leader is nothing remarkable in my opinion."
A place and a magical treasure can transform an ordinary person into a powerful being?
So what?
An ordinary person becomes a superpower?
So what?
For Chen Yanluo, who once stood at the top of the pyramid of the supernatural world.
Not very attractive.
Hisako Ishii was really anxious this time.
"What if I told you that the leader once told me that because he was limited by his own conditions, he only got less than one ten thousandth of the benefits of that place?
The treasures in that place may be far more magical than what he showed later.
What if I told you that in his description, the things in that place can create a degree of magic far beyond what words can describe?"
"Then just go by yourself."
Chen Nuo yawned: "Didn't you say that you already know where that place is? And... what [key] you are talking about, I guess, since a woman like you dares to say it, then she must,
You must have got the key!"
"I can't do it alone! I need an esper... an esper who is as powerful as possible!"
Hisako Ishii finally revealed his trump card: "The leader told me that ordinary people can take very limited benefits from that place! But only those with powerful abilities can go to the deepest place and obtain the greatest benefits!"
"The deepest place?" Chen Nuo smiled: "So what does that place look like? A high step? Or a deep tunnel?
Those who are weak can only go in a little bit, but the stronger they are, the deeper they can go?
Is that what you mean?”
"I don't know either, but that's what he said at the time." Hisako Ishii shook his head and said: "So... after the Truth Society was established, he has spared no effort in searching for ability users throughout RB over the years!
It's just a pity that RB may be too small a country to give birth to truly strong people. Therefore, over the years, the number of ability users we have been able to find has been very few, and their strength has not truly reached a strong level.
For example, Mr. Shu is already the strongest person we can find. But in front of you, he is like a three-year-old child, with no ability to resist."
"Then I wish you good luck." Chen Nuo still shook his head without interest: "I have no interest in accompanying you on a treasure hunt."
"I can give you a lot of money." Hisako Ishii gritted his teeth.
"How many?"
"The total assets of the Truth Society are hundreds of billions! I can take out all of them!"
Chen Nuo was startled.
Is this woman crazy?
The assets of one hundred billion yen are worth more than one billion US dollars.
and……
Stud??
Is it such a big bet?
"I don't have much time." Hisako Ishii looked sad.
Chen Nuo frowned.
No time?
Is she dying?
That's not right! In the previous life, this woman lived until Chen Yanluo died and was reborn, and she was still there.
"That key!" Hisako Ishii whispered: "That key's life is about to expire. If it dies, then that place will be inaccessible."
Chen Nuo's heart moved.
"That [key]? Is it...alive?"
Seeing that Chen Nuo finally showed some interest, Ishii Hisako didn't dare to waste any more time. She quickly clapped her hands hard and shouted loudly: "Bring it in!!!"
Seeing this woman's behavior, Chen Nuo leaned on the chair and sat down.
Let’s take a look.
A few minutes later…
The door was opened, and a glass cabinet with a pulley underneath was pushed in!
A glass cabinet is about twice the size of an ordinary household refrigerator.
It is filled with water, seaweed and the like, and it seems that an ecological recycling system has been carefully created.
When he saw the things in the glass cabinet, although Chen Nuo kept his posture of sitting calmly, his heart suddenly jumped a few times!!
In this glass jar, in the water, is...
An octopus!!!
