"Your brother became a sacrifice in your place, went to participate in the heavenly sacrifice ceremony, and became a divine attendant. In the end, he was selected by God Amaterasu and was given the Eight Chi Mirror, one of the three divine weapons, and became one of the three great priests."
As soon as Mokudera Reiko opened her mouth, she revealed an astonishing secret, which shocked both Xu Cheng and Mokudera Chizuru, and they couldn't help showing surprised expressions on their faces.
Xu Cheng thought to himself that he finally found the reason why Kirito Odera's soul would be with the Eight Chi Mirror. It turned out that it was given by Amaterasu.
Chizuru Godera was even more surprised. She originally thought that her brother failed after participating in the heavenly sacrifice ceremony and his whereabouts were unknown, but she did not expect that he actually succeeded and became one of the three great priests.
"The three great priests are the divine attendants in charge of the three divine weapons respectively. They can directly communicate with Amaterasu and have the highest status in the Protectorate."
Godera Reiko showed a kind smile, looked at Godera Chizuru and said: "Our Godera family's long-cherished wish has finally come true. With your brother's status, if nothing unexpected happens, he can return to the top of the Protectorate."
Although she was smiling and seemed to be praising and happy, there was obvious ridicule in her tone.
Chizuru Odera couldn't help but ask: "Then why was the Odera family destroyed?"
Now that his younger brother has become a high priest and the top of the Protectorate, why is the Godera family still in ruins?
Xu Cheng didn't interrupt and just remained silent.
Odera Reiko's kind smile gradually faded: "That's because, after your brother became a high priest, Amaterasu sent an oracle, asking the three high priests and the Protectorate to concentrate their efforts to attack a certain place."
Chizuru Godera's heart sank, and she asked in a trembling voice: "Where?"
"I don't know. Probably only Amaterasu or the three great priests of the year know."
Godera Reiko sighed: "You should have guessed that they failed to complete Amaterasu's oracle. Only one of the three great priests came back alive. The other two, including your brother, are missing. The Protectorate suffered heavy losses. , had to hibernate again.”
Chizuru Godera froze on the spot and didn't say anything for a long time.
For more than ten years, she has been worrying about the whereabouts of her brother, and now she finally heard it from Reiko Godera.
Reminiscent of the eight-chi mirror, Kirito Odera's soul still maintains the same appearance as before. He must have died when his whereabouts were unknown.
Xu Cheng asked for her: "Then why is there no Yusi family?"
"Come on, have some snacks, and don't be polite to grandma."
Godera Reiko smiled and pushed the plate with snacks in front of Xu Cheng: "Later, we found out that the place where the three great priests attacked was actually related to the US military stationed in Japan, and they had already obtained the names of some members of the Protectorate. Among them is the Godera family.”
Chizuru Godera, who was in a daze, was immediately attracted by the old man's words.
"Your father realized that the Protectorate Council regarded the Godera family as outcasts to attract the U.S. military, and began to send the family away that night, but it was too late. The U.S. military directly surrounded the Odera family home, and most of the Odera family members, including your father, were taken away. Only a few of us escaped by chance and lived incognito in Tokyo for more than ten years before we dared to return to our original names."
Chizuru Godera was still digesting these things that happened more than ten years ago when she heard Reiko Godera say to her: "I didn't know these things originally. Your father told me about these things the night I escaped. I know he wanted me to tell them to you." You, let me take on the responsibility of revitalizing the Godera family."
Chizuru Godera's eyes widened, and a fierce aura suddenly burst out, and she gritted her teeth: "Then he has found the wrong person. I can't wait to kill him, and I can't wait to have the entire Godera family destroyed from now on!"
Xu Cheng originally thought that Reiko Odera would persuade him, but the old lady waved her hand and said: "Yes, it is a man's responsibility to revitalize the family. It has nothing to do with us women. Ignore that idiot your father, we can live a stable life on our own."
She put her arms around Chizuru Godera, held her head in her arms, and gently stroked her hair: "Good girl, I have wronged you all these years. You must be very lonely."
Chizuru Godera felt that all the grievances that had been hidden in her heart for the past twelve years burst out at this moment. Her nose became sore, her eyes shed tears, and she hugged the old lady in front of her tightly.
Xu Cheng was eating snacks silently on the side without disturbing him.
After a long time, Chizuru Godera straightened up in embarrassment. Except for the last time she saw her brother's soul, she had never shown weakness in front of others, let alone shed tears. She didn't expect that she would break the record again today.
However, Misera Reiko took the opportunity to feel her figure and joked deliberately: "Hey, this figure and this weight have indeed been inherited in our family. She is a girl who is easy to give birth to."
The following words she said were meant for Xu Cheng to hear.
Xu Cheng stared at Yudera Qianhe's chest and nodded in agreement. It was the same size as Qiugong Yue.
If anyone marries her in the future, neither father nor son will go hungry.
Noticing Xu Cheng's eyes falling on her chest, Yudera Qianhe immediately reached out and grabbed his ears: "Little pervert, where are you looking?"
Xu Cheng didn't even turn his eyes: "I'm looking at grandma."
Chizuru Godera: "..."
The old lady next to me burst out laughing: "Young man, you have a bright future."
Chizuru Odera was too embarrassed to beat him here, so she could only endure it and asked Reiko Odera: "Grandma Reiko, the main reason we came here this time is to ask you for information about the Protectorate Council."
"you……"
Godera Reiko was surprised and had to put away her smile: "Have you become enemies with the Protectorate?"
Chizuru Godera nodded seriously.
Godera Reiko didn't ask why, but said helplessly: "Your father told me the secrets that I knew back then, otherwise I wouldn't even know what the Protectorate is..."
Hearing what she said, Xu Cheng and Yudera Qianhe couldn't hide their disappointment, thinking that their trip would be in vain.
As a result, Godera Reiko changed her words: "However, your father finally revealed that the Into family in Kansai is also a member of the Protectorate."
She smiled and said: "I don't know this news, can I help you?"
"Grandma Reiko."
Chizuru Godera was grateful and helpless at the same time. How could this old man of the same generation as her grandmother be as skinny as Nagumo Narumi.
Xu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, his trip was not in vain and he finally caught the tail of the Protectorate.
"Okay, now that we've finished talking and asking questions, you should go back quickly. Don't disturb grandma. I'm resting."
Godera Reiko started to chase people away, but seeing that she really looked tired, Xu Cheng and Godera Chizuru had no choice but to leave.
Baimeng book
Arriving at the gate on the first floor, Chizuru Odera couldn't help but said to Reiko Odera: "Grandma Reiko, move into my house and live with me."
Godera Reiko was right, everyone in the Godera family was afraid of loneliness and longed for love.
Although Chizuru Godera said she hated the Godera family, she finally met a member of the clan and couldn't help but want to be together.
"No, maybe today is the last time we see each other."
In just a short while, Reiko Odera's face became extremely pale, the blood color just now disappeared, and her whole body became weaker and weaker to the naked eye.
"grandmother!"
The girl in kimono rushed out and held Reiko Odera's arm.
Both Chizuru Godera and Xu Cheng saw something was wrong: "What's wrong with Grandma Reiko?"
The girl in kimono's eyes turned red and she lowered her head and refused to say anything.
"It's nothing. Birth, old age, illness and death are all natural. I still have a year or two to live."
Reiko Odera didn't know where she got the strength. She took a step forward, held Chizuru Odera's hand tightly, and said seriously: "Chizuru, you have to live a good life. Get married, have children, and live a long life. This is not for revitalization." The Odera family is not for anyone, but for yourself."
Chizuru Odera couldn't bear it any longer, and opened her arms to hug Reiko Odera tightly. She felt like her heart was cut by a knife, and she hated herself for not coming earlier.
Misera Reiko whispered softly in her ear: "You see something is wrong with the look in this godbrother's eyes. If you like him, take him as soon as possible. Age is not a problem. We won't suffer."
Chizuru Godera's head was covered with black lines, and the old man couldn't control his original sadness.
Godera Reiko slowly pushed her away, pointed at the girl in kimono who came up to help her, and said with a smile: "She is my only granddaughter and your sister. If you are free in the future, please take care of her."
"Don't worry, I will."
Yudera Qianhe nodded seriously, while Xu Cheng pointed to the unconscious young man outside and said, "Is that your grandson outside?"
"Do I have grandchildren?"
Godera Reiko blinked and showed a weak but naughty smile: "Why didn't I know?"
What else could Xu Cheng say, he could only give this old lady a thumbs up.
The two of them reluctantly said goodbye to the old lady before leaving.
On the way back, they did not remain silent, but discussed the affairs of the Yin Teng family in Kansai.
Xu Cheng also took out his mobile phone and searched, but found no useful information.
Back in the villa, Xu Cheng saw Nayun Narumi standing in the front yard with two panda eyes and a bottle of water on his head and hands, making her dare not move.
Seeing the idiot being dealt with so harshly, Xu Cheng not only did not share the same hatred, but instead laughed out loud: "What are you doing?"
Nagumo Narumi had no idea what embarrassment was, and said seriously: "I'm practicing balance."
"What's that water on your head for?"
"Bring it a drink if you are thirsty."
There was no one around her, and she whispered to Xu Cheng: "Mogu, why are you and Teacher Qianhe hiding in the room?"
Xu Cheng looked weird: "We are doing something good for our physical and mental health."
Nagumo Narumi said dissatisfied: "Then why don't you do it with me?"
Xu Cheng: "..."
If I did it with you, your sister would probably chop me into mincemeat with a knife, make me into dumplings, and feed it to the dog.
"Children, don't pry, otherwise you could easily get killed."
Without saying a word, Xu Cheng entered the villa.
Nagumo Narumi stared at his back and secretly vowed to find out what they were doing that was good for their physical and mental health.
Entering the villa, Chizuru Godera was already calling Uehara Ryo, asking him to investigate the detailed information about the Into family in Kansai.
Xu Cheng also took out his mobile phone and called Hoshizaki Yukina to ask her how the investigation of Sarina was going.
"Can't find it."
Hoshizaki Yukina's voice revealed a cold and indifferent tone. She has a secretary-type personality now because she is working in the Countermeasures Department.
"What's your attitude?"
Xu Cheng whispered: "Be careful, I'll spank you next time."
Hoshizaki Yukina challenged: "Come if you dare."
"Just wait for me."
After hanging up the call, Xu Cheng was not very disappointed. Since Sarina was a member of the Protectorate, it was not that easy to find her.
However, he was unwilling to abandon this clue. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but take out his mobile phone, directly find the number that the Protectorate Council called him last time, and dial it back.
Soon, a male voice said: "Xinghaiguang?"
There was disbelief in his tone.
Xu Cheng said simply: "It's me, let Sarina answer the phone."
The other party was silent for a moment and said please wait a moment.
After waiting for a while, Sarina's voice sounded again, with the same surprise and disbelief: "Xinghai-kun, what's the matter?"
After all, the two sides have now completely seen through and are life-and-death enemies. Xu Cheng actually called so carelessly.
Could it be that he came here to troll someone, right?
Sarina was mentally prepared to be scolded by Xu Cheng and greet her relatives.
However, Xu Cheng was not so bored and asked directly: "I've been looking for you to protect the National Assembly everywhere, but I can't find it. Can you give me some tips?"
Sarina said in shock: "Why does Xinghai-kun want us?"
Xu Cheng was also very surprised: "Of course I'm going to beat you to death. Do you even need to ask?"
Sarina: "..."
You want to beat us to death, and why are you calling us to ask where we are?
Are you a fool, or do you think we are fools?
At this time, Chizuru Godera, sisters Nagumo and the prophet had all come to the living room. After hearing Xu Cheng's words, they also showed the same expression as Sarina.
I wonder if Xu Cheng has played with the Stone Man too much and become very clever. Otherwise, why would he have thought of making such a call to the Protectorate?
"Let's make a bet."
Xu Cheng ignored everyone's smart looks and said directly: "Give me a real reminder. If I can't find you within three days, then I will admit defeat and never cause trouble to you to protect the National Assembly from now on."
Sarina let out a exclamation of surprise and quickly became serious: "Xinghai-kun, are you serious?"
"certainly."
Xu Cheng did not hesitate at all: "I can swear to Amaterasu, as long as you are willing to provide true information, then I will abide by the oath, otherwise I will be hacked to death."
For the Protectorate who believe in Amaterasu, this oath is really too heavy.
"Sorry, Mr. Xinghai, I can't make a decision. Can you please wait for a moment?"
"no problem."
In the Protectorate, Sarina quickly reported the news to the elder.
Elder Zong laughed after hearing this. It was obvious that Xinghaiguang had never been able to find where the Protectorate was, so he got anxious and came up with such a solution.
So Elder Zong made a decision directly: "Tell him."
Xu Cheng waited for about five minutes before waiting for Sarina's reply.
"Xinghai-kun, I hope you will not despise the oath you made to Amaterasu, especially for special people like us."
Sarina first warned Xu Cheng, and then said seriously: "I am the shrine maiden of Amaterasu Grand Palace. This is the tip we give you. I wish you success."
After Xu Cheng finished swearing, the two parties ended the call.
Upon hearing this so-called reminder, Chizuru Godera and others were immediately speechless.
Amaterasu Daigosho refers to Amaterasu. The translation of Sarina’s words means that I am the shrine maiden of Amaterasu.
This reminder can be regarded as a reminder of loneliness.
Everyone felt that Xu Cheng's behavior this time was really reckless.
Chizuru Godera couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Cheng, if you can't find the Protectorate in three days, do you really plan not to be hostile to them?"
"How can it be."
Xu Cheng shook his head: "I just lied to them to see if I could get some useful information."
Nayun Narumi seemed to know him again: "Mogu, you are so shameless, you don't have any credibility."
"How can you be trustworthy when dealing with demons and heretics?"
Xu Cheng plausibly said: "And as long as I have no morals, others can't kidnap me. You know what the heck."
Everyone was speechless by his righteousness.
"Then you still swear?"
"Don't worry, I always swear to update it every day, otherwise there will be thunder and cracking. Look, it's fine now."
"Update what?"
"nothing."
Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and no matter how many people checked, they could not find the relationship between the shrine maidens of the Amaterasu Grand Palace and the Protectorate Council.
Of course Xu Cheng was also intact and was not hacked to death.
The investigation into the Kansai Yinto family has also reached a deadlock, because Kansai belongs to Kansai is so big, and there are countless people named Yinto among them. There are several big families, and it is impossible to tell which one is the protector of the country. member.
Just when Xu Cheng thought all his previous efforts were in vain, he received news from Qiu Gongyue.
In the past few days, when she returned to the God of Death to investigate the past cooperation with the Protectorate Association, she finally found some clues - every time the God of Death cooperated with the Protectorate Association, an anonymous huge sum of money would be deposited into the account of the God of Death. In one of hundreds of records, a real name was used and there was no anonymity.
Qiu Gongyue continued to pursue this and found a bank manager in Kansai District.
She had already paid a friendly visit to the bank manager and learned from the other person that he was working for a mysterious client and that the payment to the deceased's account was also under his instructions.
Once, he accidentally made a mistake and had to secretly transfer money through his private account. I thought it was just a minor matter, so I didn't take this flaw to heart.
The bank manager did not know the specific identity of the mysterious customer, but during one exchange, the other party let it slip that he was from Saitama Prefecture.
After getting the valuable news about Akimiya Yue, Xu Cheng immediately asked Hoshizaki Yukina to investigate whether there were any wealthy families named Yin Teng in Saitama County.
It was just a chance, but Hoshizaki Yukina soon found out that there was indeed a wealthy family named Yin Teng in Saitama County. He was a local rich man. There were county councilors in his family for generations, and he was a real local snake.
After in-depth investigation, it was discovered that the Yin Teng family was once one of the old Chinese families in Edo. It was only after Japan's defeat in World War II that they moved to Saitama County and settled down.
The experience of the Yin Teng family is exactly the same as that of the Yusi family.
Coupled with the information provided by Reiko Godera and the clues Akimiya Yue found in the death ceremony, the answer is self-evident. The Yinto family is a member of the Protectorate Council.
"Finally I caught you."
Xu Cheng let out a sigh of relief. This Protectorate Association was like an old man. It was really not easy to catch them.
