Woohoo...
Click, click...
As a long whistle sounded, a black train slowly drove into Bingcheng Station. As soon as the train stopped, the crowd in the carriage started to commotion.
But the station was under martial law today, and Japanese soldiers wearing military police armbands stood on the platform one after another.
Security is tight.
This posture seemed like some big shot had come to Ice City.
A pair of masters and apprentices were squeezed into a four-person sleeper carriage. The air in the carriage was dirty and stuffy. They had long wanted to get out of the car and get a breath of fresh air. They had come all the way from Guan Nei.
Similar to the pair of masters and apprentices, the passengers in the car have been walking on this road for almost a week, and finally they have arrived in Bingcheng. If they don't let people get off the bus in Bingcheng, they are naturally very angry. .
"Master, what's going on? There are so many Japanese soldiers outside..." Xiao Hai, a young apprentice, excitedly approached the window and looked outside.
"Mind your own business and remember to keep an eye on the box for a while. If it's lost, go back to your hometown in Shandong." Master Liang Yiming sat on the bed, like an old monk in meditation, unmoved by external objects.
"Don't worry, Master." The young apprentice assured.
…
There is indeed a big shot coming today. Not only is the platform heavily guarded, but in addition to the military police, the garrison is also deployed.
Moreover, the train entering the station was not allowed to get off. It was obvious that the trains had to wait for the important people on the train to get off before they were allowed to get off.
After waiting for ten minutes, a police officer came over to inform me that we could get off the bus.
The master and apprentice got off the car with their suitcases, stepped onto the platform, took a breath of cold air, and looked up at the gray sky.
It’s finally here. The days on the bus are really tough. If it weren’t for the young apprentice accompanying him, the journey would have been much more lonely for the master.
Pairs of gendarmes lined up and retreated from the platform. It was obvious that the important people had got off the car and been picked up.
Of course there is no need to be alert at the station.
The master and apprentice walked across the platform and passed the station exit. After checking their tickets and identity documents, they were released.
"Master, why don't you look happy to be home?" The young apprentice picked up his suitcase and looked back at his master.
The old master's mood was a little complicated. After all, he had been away from his hometown for seven or eight years. When he came back, he naturally felt a little shy about his hometown.
Ding dong, ding dong...
After leaving the station, a tram stopped in front of the platform where the two of them were, and the master and apprentice got on the tram heading outside the road.
North Sandao Street.
The master and apprentice stood in front of a dilapidated house, a little dumbfounded. Although eight years had passed, the house was still there.
After entering, the yard was full of snow. Even if the frozen snow was cleared, it would take three to five days.
As it is now, it is obviously uninhabitable.
"Liang Zi is back?" A man with a cane appeared at the door. When he saw the master and apprentice coming back, they immediately recognized him.
"Uncle Gui, I'm back." Liang Yiming turned around, saw the face of his familiar old neighbor, and hurriedly came over to greet him.
"Where have you been for so many years? There has been no news about you. Do the neighbors still talk about you from time to time?" The old man was a little excited. After all, he had grown up watching him and was a neighbor, so he had a good relationship.
"I went back to my hometown in Shandong and did business outside for a few years." They all came to Guandong back then, and their ancestral roots are all in Shandong.
"Oh, just come back." The old man said happily. Seeing the young apprentice behind Liang Yiming, he asked, "Liangzi, what is this?"
"My apprentice is Xiao Hai." Liang Yiming introduced, "Xiao Hai, my name is Grandpa Gui."
"Hello, Grandpa." Xiao Hai bowed politely.
"Okay, No., Liang Zi, this kid is polite, not bad." Old Man Gui said, "In the blink of an eye, you have also accepted a disciple. Okay, the craftsmanship of the old Liang family can finally be passed down. We all can I came here eating the food cooked by your father. I thought I would never be able to eat it again in this life, but I didn’t expect you to come back.”
"Uncle Gui wants to eat, that's no problem. When I come back this time, I won't leave. When the time comes, I'll invite all my old neighbors over and make them for you to eat." Liang Yiming said.
"Okay, okay, Liang Zi, you can't live in this house anymore. Bei, go to my house. I still have an empty room in my house. You two, master and disciple, can squeeze in first?"
"No, Uncle Gui, we have already booked a room in the hotel. Besides, we will only stay for a few days. We will come back to live after packing up the house." Liang Yiming quickly declined. He did not want to cause trouble to others. Furthermore, he has more important things to do, and it must be extremely inconvenient to live in someone else's home.
"Master, I'm hungry..."
"Let's go get something to eat first." A young boy like Xiao Hai is growing up, so he eats a lot and gets hungry easily.
Although I haven't been back for eight years, the streets have not changed, and the houses on the streets have not changed much. It is just that many familiar shops have disappeared, and there are many more "Japanese-style" signboards.
Japanese people can be seen everywhere, more commonly than in cities within Kansai.
"Xiaohai, I'm going to buy some daily necessities in a while. You go back first and clear the snow in the yard and wait for me when I come back." After dinner, Liang Yiming ordered his young apprentice.
"Master, you can come back soon."
"I understand. If I don't come back before dark, you can just lock the door and go back to the hotel." Liang Yiming waved his hand and said.
"oh."
…
"Newspapers are being sold, big news, big news!" The newsboys' shouts spread throughout the streets and alleys, and it was particularly loud today.
"The mysterious man captures the heart of the most beautiful outsider!"
"Boss Bai of Ningxiang Pavilion and his new boyfriend attended Su Wenqing's daughter's engagement party..."
"Bai Yulan is an old cow eating young grass, and her new boyfriend is suspected of being a wealthy man?"
"Shocking! Who will marry the white widow?..."
…
In the newspapers, almost without exception, there was news about Zhou Sen accompanying Bai Yulan to the engagement party of Su Wenqing's daughter Su Yun, and some even included photos.
Some newspapers even put their news on the front page, while the beautiful couple last night only introduced them in a few words.
Not to mention some tabloids, which fully expanded their imagination and almost wrote about the love and hatred between Zhou Sen, Bai Yulan and Su Wenqing.
Add fuel to the fire and use words in every possible way.
The client, Zhou Sen, got up in the morning, had breakfast, and took the bus to work at "Sen" Ji on Haicheng Street as usual.
Now he doesn't even bother to order his maw. It seems that people with high rank in the Special Agent Division don't even go to the police station to order their mao.
Therefore, he lived a very leisurely life, but Zhou Sen knew that his leisure days were few and far between, and the time for training was getting closer.
"Brother, are you really with Boss Bai?" As soon as he reached the "Sen" mark and before he sat down and even warmed up the chair, Ye San'er rushed in as if the room was on fire.
Zhou Sen ignored him and took a sip of hot tea slowly: "Who did you listen to?"
"It's all said in the newspaper, look at what's written here..." Ye San'er took a few newspapers and put them in front of Zhou Sen.
"Not bad, have you learned to read the newspaper?" Zhou Sen glanced at the contents of the newspaper. He had expected this situation.
Those reporters saw him and Bai Yulan hand in hand outside the New World Hotel last night, just like a wolf asking about the smell of meat. There must be news about them in today's newspapers.
The Japanese have blocked news from the outside world and don't let the common people know about it, so they can only have some fun with local news.
The next family of the most beautiful woman outside the Taoism has worried many people's hearts.
As soon as this news broke, didn't the newspapers in Bingcheng have a collective party?
"Although I can't read many words, the photo is unmistakable. Brother, with your face, you are..."
"You know who turned into ashes?"
"Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, just say it, everyone is talking about it." Ye Saner apologized hastily.
"So what if it is, so what if it's not, is this something you worry about?" Zhou Sen snorted.
"If this is true, wouldn't we have to call Boss Bai 'sister-in-law' when we see him from now on?"
"You can scream if you want, no one will stop you." Zhou Sen chuckled, which was a disguised admission.
"I understand." Ye San'er immediately beamed.
"Okay, go ahead and do what you have to do, don't be an eyesore in front of me." Zhou Sen waved his hand, signaling Ye San'er to go out quickly, and then picked up the newspaper on the table.
It's strange that Anna didn't come today. Didn't she supervise and protect her safety?
Ignore her, I would be more comfortable if she didn't come.
I can't go to the Ningxiang Pavilion today. It's on the cusp of the storm. Let's stay calm and keep a low profile. It won't be too late to go tomorrow.
No, you still have to call Bai Yulan to ask about the situation.
…
Kendo practice room on the second floor of Nangang Police Station.
Akiyama Nosuke fought with a Japanese policeman named Kobayashi until he completely knocked him down. Then he reached out and took off his hood. Kim Suying on the side quickly handed over the hot towel.
"Did you go to Chairman Su's daughter's engagement party last night?" Akiyama Nosuke wiped his sweat and untied his protective gear under Jin Suying's service.
"Yes, Mr. Akiyama."
"How is it? How do you feel?" Akiyama Nosuke smiled, put on a loose kimono, and asked.
“There are so many guests, the scene is huge, it’s very lively.”
"Manchu people just like to show off and save face. This is their weakness." Akiyama Nosuke said.
"Yeah, it's all flashy stuff."
"You are right. These are all flashy. In the face of strong strength, these are all jokes." Akiyama Nosuke said, "Zhou Sen and Bai Yulan from Ningxiang Pavilion also went?"
"Um."
"You seem unhappy?" Akiyama Nosuke reached out and grabbed Jin Suying's hand and stroked it gently. He didn't feel at all that what he did was against the relationship between boss and subordinate.
"I'm not happy at all. I just can't bear to see how he behaves like a villain." Jin Suying curled her lips and said.
"The villain succeeds, haha, what you described is really vivid, but he is very crucial to the empire now, so you'd better not provoke him, otherwise, if something happens, I won't be able to protect you." Akiyama's assistant Along the way, Jin Suying fell into his arms with a "Oh".
"If he caused such a big disturbance, the higher ups won't care about it?"
"This is not your concern..."
…
Nangang Park, Triangle Pavilion.
"Are you at least half an hour later than the agreed time?"
After receiving the code, Liang Yiming, who came in disguise, sat down on a chair and said, "I just arrived in Ice City, why don't I get familiar with the environment?"
"This is the target person."
A rolled newspaper was stuffed from below. Liang Yiming took it, slowly opened the newspaper and looked at a photo. On the back of the photo was information about the target person.
"You guys are so ungrateful. Are you asking me to work before I can take a breath?" Liang Yiming said dissatisfied.
"We don't want to either. There was an accident and we couldn't find the right person, so we asked you to help." The person opposite said.
"Martial law was enforced when the train I took arrived at the station today. Has anyone arrived in Ice City?" Liang Yiming did not refuse, but talked about another thing.
"It's not clear yet. I'll let you know when there is news. Find a place to stay as soon as possible and find a cover job. This will make it easier to lurk for a long time."
"I know, you, please pay attention to the news in the newspaper." Liang Yiming stood up, stuffed the newspaper into his coat pocket, quickly stood up and left.
From the beginning to the end, the two people never faced each other or saw each other's appearance.
This is the best way to protect both parties.
"Brother Shen!"
"Um!"
When Shen Changqing walks on the road, whenever he meets someone he knows, he will say hello or nod to each other.
But no matter who it is.
There was no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they were indifferent to everything.
To this.
Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, there are also some other side jobs.
It can be said.
Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.
The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.
Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.
Then he will be promoted step by step, and he is expected to eventually become a guardian envoy.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Department, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.
Possessing the memory of a previous life.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.
Unlike other places in the Demon Suppressing Division that were full of chills, the attic here seemed to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppressing Division.
At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.
Enter the attic.
The environment changes in vain.
The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, making him frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.
There is almost no way to cleanse away the smell of blood on everyone in the Demon-Suppressing Division.
