Thousands of Yakuza members maintained a ninety-degree bowing posture. The leader of the group, the "Shadi Head", wore a samurai robe from the Edo period, with straight shoulders, wide skirts and trousers, and he also lowered his hands and bowed his body.
Opposite them are nearly a hundred members of the Spades, standing in a fan shape, wearing low-top round hats and black windbreakers, holding submachine guns in both hands. Even though most of them are newcomers, their demeanor still shows the ferocity of the Zhongjing gang.
In the open space between the two groups of people, the atmosphere was quite relaxed.
Li Liang smiled all over his face: "Boss, why are you here?"
"You have nothing to do," Messi snorted, and when he turned to Cain, he put on a bright smile, "Oh, Cain, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Cain twitched the corners of his mouth perfunctorily.
The old man didn't take it seriously and changed his target: "Ellen! Ah, I haven't seen you for a long time. Who is this little girl, your girlfriend?"
Allen's eyes twitched, and Kujo Yui behind him had a dull expression.
"Where is Dr. Xisen?" Li Liang looked around, "Not here yet?"
Messi said with a smile: "Here we are, busy debugging the equipment."
At this time.
The Yakuza "brother-in-law" walked closer and bowed again.
"Why didn't Harukichi Watanabe come?" Cain asked coldly.
"I'm sorry, my father is old and has limited mobility," "Shedi Tou" said in Mandarin with a weird Japanese accent, "Father is hosting a banquet in the office and is waiting for distinguished guests."
Li Liang didn't take it seriously and waved his hand to set off.
More than a dozen airships prepared in advance quickly landed from far away.
Everyone boarded the boat and when the hatch was about to close, a wet monkey squeezed in, walked up to Li Liang angrily, and pointed at his butt.
"Squeak!"
Li Liang took out his ears and said slowly, "I don't understand."
"Zhizhi~bang~Hugh~~~Dong! Zhizhi!"
The monkey danced and danced, but found that Li Liang was still indifferent, so he turned his back angrily and sat down on the floor.
The airship slowly took off.
Through the porthole, Li Liang saw the dark Yakuza members below still maintaining their bowing posture, while Spades were boarding the boat one after another.
moment.
The airship passed several large container yards, gradually rising up until it was close to the exit at the end of the curved dome, and then jumped out.
In an instant, Bay City was in full view.
The sky is like a clear blue sky, with a winding coastline running from east to west.
On the north side of the coastline is a booming city. The rows of high-rise buildings are filled with huge holographic images. Even if the midday sun is particularly dazzling, it still cannot hide the noisy and turbulent colors. Rows of airships flow through it, coming and going like a weave.
There is a blue bend on the south side, and there is a huge ship stranded not far from the coastline. The hull is skewed and rusty, like a sculpture that has accumulated time. Further south, there is a clear arc-shaped dividing line at the end of the bay. The boundary outlines the scope of the sky and is also the boundary between reality and illusion.
Li Liang looked back and saw that the fully enclosed Wancheng Port was like a milky white shell buckled on the shore.
The airship did not merge into a fixed route, but turned around and flew straight to the northeast. At the same time, dozens of patrol boats belonging to the Bay City Order Bureau arrived first, flashing their police lights, and began to escort the airship.
Just as they passed over the city, Kujo Yui let out a low cry: "すごい!"
Li Liang understood this Japanese sentence, and the street scene below was indeed "high".
The people of Bay City have a morbid hobby for holographic technology. Almost every building is surrounded by large and small dynamic holographic images. The ground is even more exaggerated. All the images overlap and blend into one, making it impossible to distinguish any shape. At a glance, the streets Like a colorful river.
No wonder Bay City is known as the "Holographic Wonderland".
However, continuing to the north, traces of the goblin invasion are revealed. Large areas are being rebuilt, tower cranes are standing, and Xi'an's engineering robots are busy working.
The further north you go, the more devastated the city is.
Not surprisingly, the Bay City Joint Meeting Building and the Bureau of Order are located in the north of the city, and they are the first targets of the goblins to destroy.
Soon, the airship approached the northeast corner of the city, which is similar to Zhongjing and is home to continuous manor and villa areas.
The old money in Bay City is obviously more powerful. It has built a lot of green space at its own expense and does not mind opening it to ordinary citizens. There are many people doing activities on the lawns scattered here and there, and some children are playing football.
Under the escort of the Order Bureau, the airship landed on the apron of a Japanese-style courtyard.
When Li Liang walked out of the hatch, he saw more than a dozen Yakuza members wearing samurai robes, mostly elderly, bowing and waiting.
Most of the ordinary members who were greeted at the port were black and wore weird "uniforms" - black suits and yellow shorts. However, these people in front of them were all Japanese, dressed in formal and traditional styles, and everyone was missing their left hand. Tai Zhi should be the core member of Yakuza.
After everyone got off the boat, an old man with chicken skin and white hair straightened up slightly and said something. It sounded like Mandarin, but the accent was too strong. Li Liang didn't understand it, so he turned to look at Cain.
"He said Watanabe Harukichi is waiting for us in the tea garden," Cain said to the old man, combing his hair, "You tell him to wait there, and we will take a rest first and lead the way."
"はい."
More than ten minutes later, the group walked through the sparse bamboo forest and came to a thatched hermitage near the lake. It had a wooden thatched roof and far-reaching eaves. The front door was plain and simple, with white sand paving the floor and dotted with a few dry stones.
Walking into the nunnery, the hall is open and there are several bedrooms separated by a screen.
The old Yakuza man who was silent all the way stopped at the door and bowed, and spoke another plastic Mandarin sentence. Li Liang still didn't understand, and could only infer from his demeanor that the old man was letting them do what they wanted.
All the members of the Spades stayed outside the nunnery. Cain hurriedly picked a room at random and ran straight to the bathroom. Allen and Yui Kujo chatted in the inner courtyard, and the monkey was nowhere to be found.
Li Liang and Mei Sai were left staring at each other and simply sat on the ground at the waterside pavilion.
The two of them looked at the green artificial lake and seemed to not know what to say.
for a long time.
Li Liang cleared his throat and asked, "Boss, how is the hospital business?"
"It's still like that. Didn't I tell you that Li Ru sends people to deliver a few bad ones to your door every day," Mesai said, bored, and took out a brand new "Xini's Animal Catalog" from his bag.
"Is this magazine still out?"
"Ah, there are a lot of large animals released in these issues, and there was a pony in the last issue."
"Haven't you always wanted a pony?"
"Forget it, having a monkey in the house is enough to cause trouble."
Li Liang smiled, lay down on the spot, resting his head on his hands, and asked, "Actually, it was Shui Ye who sent you here, right?"
"Well, she said there was something going on and it was not safe in Beijing." Mesai flipped through the magazine, "What about you, what are you busy with?"
"In addition to checking the Natural Sect, I also held a meeting with Robben two days ago. They established three army groups and a Guards directly affiliated with the temple. The headquarters was transferred from the western mine to Zhenjie Fort."
"What happened to that spiritual door?"
"We are still building a house, and it should be completed before the opening. The main thing is that we don't know how many civilized delegations will come during the opening... Anyway, there are a lot of things, and it's a headache."
"Hmph, you asked for it."
"Yes, professional things should still be left to professionals."
Messi raised his eyelids: "There is one group of people from the upper town, and another group from the lower town. The two groups don't deal with each other internally. These professional people have a total of 800 minds. How can we get there? Wait. When they fight, you sometimes get a headache."
"Okay, boss," Li Liang turned over and sat up, as if he had returned to the past, pretending to be surprised, "Have you seen the internal struggle clearly?"
"After House moved to the downstairs of the hospital, he always came to my place to eat. Even though he usually has a stern face, when he drinks, he chatters. Apart from talking about his brothers, he only talks about you guys."
"Is he pretending to be drunk on purpose?"
"Who knows, he is basically the same as Mizuno. He hates K the most. He says that K has been a desperado with ulterior motives since he was young."
Li Liang was overjoyed: "What else can you say?"
"He said that among this group of people, there are only three people who support you wholeheartedly, Cain, Group and Xisen."
"Haha, they are very knowledgeable and they know who they shouldn't scold."
Messi closed the magazine and followed suit: "Having said that, he is a good director. After taking office, the security in Zhongjing has improved a lot. Hey, do you think he likes men?"
"ah?"
"How about hugging Monkey and talking about his brother when he drinks too much? It will make Monkey sleepy every time."
Li Liang couldn't laugh or cry: "That's so dirty, boss, Dro saved his life."
"It's quite miserable to cry sometimes," Messi shook his head. "I also think what he said is nonsense, but there is one sentence that is quite good. Luo Ben leads the army and Li Ru is in charge. As long as these two people don't rebel. , the world will not be in chaos."
"Don't worry, boss, no one will rebel," Li Liang suppressed his smile and said softly, "Don't look at me as a second-hand twin god. As long as I am here, they will be honest."
"You are not second-hand. You just rushed the duck to put it on the shelf, and you are unlucky."
Li Liang gave a thumbs up.
"By the way, what does that girl named Kujo Yui do?"
"The Fuji encountered a seedling with good inspiration. Old Tang and Brother Shui are also in Bay City. I brought it to them along the way."
At this time.
Cain walked over, wiping his wet hair, and asked casually: "What are you talking about?"
"Let's talk about your mistakes," Mesai pointed at Li Liang, "Such an amateur leader is here."
"You are absolutely right!" Cain said with a heartfelt expression.
Li Liang said angrily: "Get out of here."
"Li Liang, you go take a bath too," Mesai hummed, "I smelled the smell of leftover rice just now, are you ready to make hot pot?"
————
In the windowless quiet room on one side of the waterside pavilion, Kujo Yui lay on the wall trying to eavesdrop on the conversation next door. She changed her position several times in succession, but she could never hear clearly.
Suddenly, a slight footsteps sounded.
She quickly straightened up and looked at the calligraphy works hanging on the wall. Then she turned back with an innocent face, but was stunned for a moment.
It wasn't Alan who walked into the room, but... a monkey.
What made her even more chilly was the monkey's demeanor at the moment.
It changed from its previous lecherous and cute attitude. It straightened its back completely like a human. Its furry head was slightly lowered, but its eyes were raised, with no expression on its face.
Kujo Yui wanted to shout, but found that she could only open her mouth in vain, but no sound came out.
She could only watch as the monkey approached step by step and climbed slowly along her stiff body to her shoulders.
The next moment, she suddenly heard a voice, her face was full of shock, and soon she began to nod her head again, until finally, the corners of her mouth slowly raised, revealing a strange smile.
——————————
Mexico City.
In a ruins filled with black smoke, K and House stood side by side in front of a cave leading to the ground. Behind them, police lights flashed, hundreds of agents set up a cordon, and in mid-air, there were densely packed armed drones. Move.
Four searchlights were set up at the entrance of the cave, and straight beams of light were thrown into the cave, swallowed up by darkness in just a few meters.
"How many people have gone down?" K's voice was hoarse.
"The ones who went down just now are the fifth enhanced semi-android commando team," House suppressed his anger, and the scars on his face became more ferocious. "There were nearly two hundred people in front and behind, and not one of them came out alive."
K raised his hand and pointed fiercely at the entrance of the cave.
Buzz——
Armed drones swarmed in and rushed into the dark cave. However, this torrent of steel fell silent instantly.
K put down his hand and frowned.
"There's something wrong with this place," House shook his head, "Are you sure those weapons are hidden in there?"
K did not answer, waved his hand to summon an armed robot, and said to the agents around him: "Who has a tow rope?"
After a moment, an agent drove up an airship with a winch, and several other agents pulled out wire ropes and tied them to the armed robot.
Under everyone's gaze, the armed robot squirmed out of its translucent gel shell and walked into the cave.
The wire rope is lengthened little by little, showing that the robot is moving forward at a constant speed.
More than ten minutes later.
House glanced at the winch that was about to be emptied, frowned and said, "How long is it?"
One of the detectives looked at the entrance of the cave and trembled: "It's almost a thousand meters."
Sudden.
The wire rope suddenly bounced up and stretched straight, and the huge force from the other end even pulled the airship tilted.
"Hold it!" House roared.
The airship's anti-gravity engine rumbled, the bow of the ship rose, and the struggle began.
Squeak, squeak, squeak...
The winch made an overwhelming sound.
K raised his hand and pointed, several armed drones landed, stretched out their tentacles and wrapped around the winch.
The surrounding air fell into deathly silence, and everyone held their breath and stared at the slightly trembling wire rope.
next moment.
The airship suddenly lost control and, together with the armed drone, turned and flew away, the wire rope swinging wildly.
Everyone instantly understood what this meant - the rope was broken.
"Take it back!"
Before he finished speaking, the airship that stabilized its posture started the winch, and the steel cable hanging on the ground was quickly recovered, causing a series of sparks to rub out.
However, the expected breaking point did not appear. The steel cable retracted the winch completely, and the red iron hook at the other end remained undamaged.
It's like...the armed robot untied itself.
K and House looked at each other and looked at the entrance of the cave.
