Night shrouds Tokyo, and the long streets are lit with neon lights. The bustling city's feasting and feasting atmosphere has reached its climax.
The car exited the ring expressway and entered the Shinjuku area a moment later. Silence and noise suddenly changed.
Xia Mi, who was sleeping soundly on Jiang Yi's shoulder, frowned slightly, as if he was about to be awakened by the noise.
No one spoke in the car along the way, maybe because Xia Mi, who talked the most, fell asleep due to exhaustion, and no one started the conversation and livened up the atmosphere, or maybe because they were worried about the presence of eavesdropping equipment in the car arranged by the Sheqi family.
Jiang Yi leaned back on his chair and looked through the glass at the bustling street. Even if it was raining outside, it could not extinguish the enthusiasm of the pedestrians.
Susie was in good spirits. Due to the trip and jet lag, she slept in the hotel at noon, unlike Natsumi who was making a fuss about going to Akihabara to watch anime.
At this time, she turned her head slightly and looked at Jiang Yi's profile. Susie was thinking about what Jiang Yi was thinking about now.
The eight Sheqi families? Orthodox? Or Nono from far away at the Kassel Academy headquarters?
Susie didn't know that no one could guess other people's inner thoughts, and no spirit had the ability to "read minds".
The street scene quickly receded, and the car drove fast and steadily. Sitting in this stretch limousine worth eight-digit yen, the passengers did not feel a single shake.
We were about to arrive at the hotel, Susie suddenly realized.
Ling, who was sitting opposite her, had been concentrating with her eyes closed. With her elegant posture of sitting upright and leaning on the back of the chair, no one could tell whether she was asleep.
Su Qian looked at Xia Mi, who was sleeping soundly holding Jiang Yi's arm, moved closer and asked in a low voice: "What are you thinking about now?"
"Time flies so fast..." Jiang Yi said something that made Su Qian feel a little nonsensical.
"What?" Susie was a little confused.
The light rain made streaks of water on the car windows. Every rain can reduce the feasting and feasting of a city, but it cannot eliminate people's desire for money and pursuit of passion.
"This city was called Edo back then. This rain makes me feel that Tokyo has become Edo again, with candlelight and fire shadows." Jiang Yi turned to look at her, and Susie suddenly felt the weight of history from Jiang Yi's eyes.
…
"Edo has always been the most prosperous city in Japan. It was a turbulent era, and the whole world was not peaceful." Jiang Yi also whispered: "Edo is synonymous with fashion and trendiness in Japan, and General Zhengyi is here.
When the government opened, monks all over the country dreamed of entering Edo temples, the Portuguese sold iron cannons and red cannons at the port, and girls carrying baskets walked the streets selling imported goods in small iron boxes."
"That was the dusk of the samurai. No one among the samurai would ever think that one day they would be deprived of the right to carry swords in this country - in their eyes, carrying swords is more important than life. They always walk in the middle of the streets with their heads held high.
, if civilians block the road, the samurai will draw his sword and threaten to chop them... If you don't get out of the way, it is an insult to him. The samurai's humiliation must be repaid with blood, because it was very common for samurai to kill civilians at that time.
"
"The reformers were very active at night, and the shogunate officials were in panic all day long. The underworld in Edo City was formed at that time. At that time, the underworld was made up of all fallen samurai, craftsmen, dock workers and prostitutes. They relied on
You earn a living by mastering one skill, and you form a guild in order not to be bullied by others."
"The same goes for the Sheqi Ba family?" Su Qian asked doubtfully. The words used to describe dragon blood are violent, bloody and cruel. The mixed-race organization will not have anything to do with vulnerable groups.
"The Sheqi Eight Family was not a gangster organization at the beginning. Just like the members of the Yuan family at tonight's banquet, Yuan used to be the emperor's surname." Jiang Yi said, "What they need is the identity of the gangster, whether it is orthodox
The secret party needs to act vigorously and resolutely to solve dragon affairs. Being late for a second may cause other crises. The same is true for the Sheqi Eight Families. The violence and tyranny of the underworld just meet the nature of their work... It can also be said that mixed-races all over the world
These organizations are all underworld, have violent thugs and think tanks, monopolize a certain field and have gray income, and also control heavy firepower weapons."
Susie: "Uh..."
She suddenly felt that Jiang Yi's words seemed to make sense. The conditions that the mixed-race organization met were simply darker than the underworld. They were simply a group of violent terrorists!
"You seem to know this place very well...Tokyo and the Sheqi Eight Family, history and culture," Susie said.
Susie recalled that the banquet was just about to end and hot tea was served at the Tamamo-mae Club. Because she knew that Japan had many etiquettes in the tea ceremony, in order not to make a joke, she paid attention to Jiang Yi's movements throughout the process and imitated them meticulously.
At that time, Zero also looked at her intently. It was estimated that in Zero's eyes, people from the country where tea was invented naturally understood these etiquettes.
Jiang Yi used ancient silk yarn as a cushion, and his subsequent movements were smooth and smooth. His seemingly casual movements were full of a certain charm.
Inuyama Ga smiled and said that Jiang Jun was very accomplished in tea ceremony. Jiang Jun not only cultivated his body, but also... Anyway, it was just a compliment, and he looked very unruly - but in the club, he hugged a girl who was sixty years younger than him.
It's hard for an old man to have moral integrity...

"Today's Tokyo is very unfamiliar to the Sheqi family." Jiang Yi shook his head and said: "What I want to say is that time passes very quickly, human beings develop very quickly, and everything is subject to change...probably because of the impermanence of the world.
, the world has changed."
"There will always be things that remain unchanged," Susie held back her emotions and said, "There will always be things that are eternal."
Jiang Yi looked at her, and Su Qian was a little lost. She hadn't seen such a warm look in Jiang Yi's eyes for a while.
Jiang Yi didn't argue with Su Qian, he just smiled.
Suddenly, Ling, who was sitting opposite the three of them, opened her eyes slightly. She observed the two of them. There seemed to be something wrong with the relationship between Jiang Yi and Su Qian... Isn't Jiang Yi's girlfriend Su Qian's best friend Nono?
Ling was still thinking, and suddenly Jiang Yi turned to look at her. Susie also followed Jiang Yi's gaze and turned to Ling.
Zero still had her eyes closed, and there was not a single flaw on her delicate little face. Her facial features and body proportions had no flaws...the only shortcoming was her height.
At this time Jiang Yi said again: "You will have to worry about taking them with you tomorrow."
Susie looked out the window and replied: "Zero's ability is very strong, and Xia Mi is also very well-behaved, so why bother? You, on the other hand, should be more careful when doing field tasks."
If Susie looked at it for a while longer, she would see a burst of blood on Zero's cold face...
Zero suddenly remembered Xia Mi's joke on the 1000th express. The four of them were like wives, husbands, older sisters and younger sisters.
The husband said to his wife: "Don't be too tired to take care of the children at home."
The wife said: "My sister studies very well, and my elder sister is very obedient. But you should pay attention to rest while working outside and come back early..."
