Late at night, dark clouds hang low, Hikone Castle, Diye Mountain, and the road at the foot of the mountain.
Hikone is a small town with a small land and poor people. There is no nightlife at all. When it gets dark, there is nothing else except the popular human-creation movement.
By this time, even the little pleasure under the bed had been withdrawn and hastily settled, and the whole town fell into a deep sleep.
The street lights had long been extinguished, and the road was empty, pitch black, and quiet.
"Da da da~"
On the deserted road, Du Weiguo held a cigarette in his mouth and walked quickly as if he didn't recognize his relatives.
Not far behind him, Fujiwara Sakura, the former shrine maiden of Atsuta Shrine, was following her step by step like a ghost, making no sound.
Yes, after thinking over and over again, this little girl shamelessly followed her. She had no choice but to follow her.
After all, she is just an idiot in life, she can't even take care of herself, and she really doesn't know what to do with those sleeping children.
At the same time, she is still a road addict, unable to distinguish things, and she doesn't even know where she is at the moment. Where can she go if she doesn't follow Du Weiguo?
The reason why I say she looks like a ghost is because she walks so lightly that she doesn't even touch the ground, as if she is floating in the air.
He has long hair shawl, a pale face, and is dressed in all black. At first glance, it looks like there is only one head floating in the air.
In this kind of weather, in this atmosphere, at this time, if you were suddenly met by some unlucky night passerby, you would definitely think that you had hit a ghost, and you would be scared to death.
Hikone was so remote that I walked along the road for several kilometers until I was near the edge of the city when I finally found a car on the side of the road.
This is a very classic cream-colored FB Suzuki pickup truck in the island country. It is a bit old and parked at the entrance of a poultry farm.
Du Weiguo was also an experienced car thief. When he saw this pickup truck, his eyes lit up and he approached it without hesitation.
"puff."
The sharp evil shuttle, combined with Du Weiguo's unparalleled brute force, penetrated the keyhole smoothly, directly destroying the lock cylinder, and then pulled the handle hard, and the car door was pulled open.
Simple and crude!
The advantage of picking the lock like this is that the car door can still be closed in the future, but the car lock is completely scrapped and can no longer be used. If you want to change the lock, you have to change the door. What a sin.
Du Weiguo sat in the cab, stretched out his hand and pulled hard, quickly destroying the ignition switch, smoothly pulling out the wires, causing sparks, and at the same time he clicked on the accelerator, and with a rumble, the pickup truck started successfully.
Seeing Du Weiguo's movements, Fujiwara Sakura swayed, leaped like the wind, and rushed over in a few steps. However, she stood blankly in front of the car, with a blank look on her face, not knowing what to say.
She was confused. What Du Weiguo did completely overturned her cognition, and her fantasy collapsed. No matter how stupid she was, she could still see that this was stealing a car.
A majestic evil god, unparalleled in the world, a being who is regarded as invincible as a god in the dark world, can actually do such sneaky and dirty things.
Moreover, he had ignored those poor children in the temple before. What a bullshit hero. He was simply cold-blooded and ruthless. Bah, he was so cruel.
After starting the car, Du Weiguo glanced at Fujiwara Sakura in front of the car angrily, rolled down the window helplessly, stuck his head out, and scolded unceremoniously:
"What are you standing there looking at so stupidly? Do you want to be hit and killed by me? Get in the car quickly and report the case to the police. Aren't you afraid that those children on the mountain will freeze to death and starve to death?"
"ah?"
Upon hearing this, Fujiwara Sakura's big eyes instantly lit up, filled with surprise, and the resentment accumulated in her heart disappeared instantly.
Her face turned red with excitement, and her tone was excited:
"It turns out that you stole the car to call the police quickly to save those children?"
Du Weiguo frowned, his face full of disgust, and his tone was very arrogant: "Don't talk nonsense, if you don't get in the car, I will leave by myself."
"Come on, come on, I'm on~"
Fujiwara Sakura had a joyful smile on her face. Like a kitten that had eaten a fish, she hurriedly turned to the passenger seat, opened the door and got in.
As soon as she got in the car, Fujiwara Sakura regained her energy and started chattering again:
"Your Excellency Sha Shen, are we going to the police station now? Do you know where the police station is? By the way, you haven't told me why you are here?"
Du Weiguo's face turned dark immediately:
"Shut up, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I will kick you down."
Fujiwara Sakura curled her lips and murmured in a low voice: "You have a hard mouth but a soft heart. You are obviously warm-hearted, but you still have to put on a cold face~ ugh~"
While she was chattering, her mouth was suddenly blocked by a nectarine, which the car owner had forgotten in the car. Du Weiguo skillfully shifted gears and filled the gas, and growled impatiently:
"Shut the hell up."
This nectarine is a specialty of Kansai. It is in season and is sweet and juicy. Fujiwara Sakura's mouth was filled with pulp at that time.
After struggling for a long time, Fujiwara Sakura's teeth had not stuck to her teeth for a long time. She was instantly filled with satisfaction, and her beautiful big eyes narrowed into a crescent shape.
Fujiwara Sakura gnawed on the peach, no longer thinking about talking, but her eyes secretly glanced at Du Weiguo, with a smug look in her eyes, hum, a duplicitous man.
A moment later, Du Weiguo parked his pickup truck at the door of a ramen shop on the roadside, got out of the car, and with just a single stroke of his knife, the chain was silently broken into two pieces.
Du Weiguo opened the door and walked in, walking straight towards the bar, as if he was at home.
This shop was the closest to Tianning Temple and the only place with a telephone. Du Weiguo just followed the phone line to find it.
First time, second time, Fujiwara Sakura is already a little used to Du Weiguo's rough behavior.
Like a follower, Fujiwara Sakura stupidly followed in, still muttering:
"Master Shashen, are you hungry? Are you looking for something to eat? This is a ramen shop, can you cook noodles?"
When she asked, there was still a vague expectation in her eyes. She had just eaten plums, and she felt even hungrier and burning.
But Du Weiguo ignored her at all, picked up the phone on the counter, put it to his ear and tried it. Well, the phone was fine and it worked.
Seeing Fujiwara Sakura who was looking around and talking nonstop, Du Weiguo raised his eyebrows helplessly:
"What are you eating? Come here quickly and call the police station to report the crime."
"Report the crime, oh, oh, okay."
Fujiwara Sakura was obedient, walked over quickly, and took the phone in a daze, her eyes clear and confused, exuding pure stupidity:
"Um, um, Mr. Sha Shen, I have never reported a crime. What should I tell the police?"
Upon hearing this, Du Weiguo suddenly felt his eyes go dark, and he had the urge to go crazy, wishing he could look up to the sky and scream.
He took a deep breath, barely suppressed his anger, and patiently explained:
"Just tell the police that a tragedy occurred in Tianning Temple. Five people died. There were also several people killed and injured in an old boat that ran aground on the east bank of Lake Biwa."
Fujiwara Sakura nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. Just as she was about to dial the number, she suddenly stopped:
"Your Excellency Sha Shen, why don't you call yourself?"
Du Weiguo glared at her fiercely, but he still explained:
"My Japanese is not good and I have an accent. When I call the police, it can easily lead to unnecessary misunderstandings and questioning."
This is not nonsense. Du Weiguo's loose Japanese has a standard Tokyo accent, but his vocabulary is extremely limited and his grammar is stiff.
Anyone with a little insight can instantly tell that he is definitely not Japanese. If he calls the police, the police will definitely investigate him.
Fujiwara Sakura nodded in understanding, but then suddenly thought of something, tilted her head and asked:
"Then when I call the police, don't I need to mention those children? Also, where is Lake Biwa?"
Du Weiguo felt that his state of mind was about to explode because of this little girl's skin. His eyes flashed fiercely, his teeth clenched, and he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth:
"Don't mention it, just do it now!"
At three o'clock in the morning, more than two dozen police cars with red and blue lights flashing honked their sirens all the way, and finally stopped slowly at the foot of Tianning Temple.
Afterwards, a large group of Japanese policemen in blue police uniforms got out of the car, holding a flashlight in one hand and a revolver in the other. They crowded together and walked up the mountain cautiously.
This dilapidated temple has been abandoned for a long time, and there are usually rumors that it is haunted and extremely evil. Now someone calls the police again, and it is said with certainty that a shocking tragedy has occurred inside, and these policemen cannot help but be worried.
About 300 meters away from Tianning Temple, on the branch of a large pine tree, Du Weiguo withdrew his gaze, slowly straightened up, and said casually:
"Okay, there should be no collusion between the local police in Hikone City and these kidnappers. Let's go."
Fujiwara Sakura, who was squatting next to him, was almost going crazy with curiosity. She stared at her big confused eyes and asked repeatedly:
"Well, Mr. Sha Shen, please explain to me, how did you make sure that the police did not collude with them?"
This Fujiwara Sakura is like a very curious baby, extremely thirsty for knowledge and addicted to human food, but she can't figure out such a simple question.
Du Weiguo frowned and sighed helplessly:
"Huh, I can explain it to you, but you have to promise that this is your last question."
Fujiwara Sakura nodded obediently and swore: "Okay, I promise, this is the last question."
Du Weiguo reluctantly sat back on the tree branch, took out his cigarette case, and lit one, without worrying about being discovered.
With a distance of more than 300 meters and such low visibility, ordinary people could not detect the faint light of the cigarette butts.
Du Weiguo exhaled the smoke and smacked his lips:
"If there is someone in the local police force who really colludes with this group of human traffickers, then before the brigade arrives, someone will definitely come over to clean up the mess and destroy the evidence. Do you understand?"
Fujiwara Sakura tilted her head and blinked her big eyes, as if she had some realization, but also as if she didn't fully understand. She asked in a confused tone:
"However, it is already so late now. Is it possible that the police associates who colluded with them have already taken a rest and have not received the message at all?"
Mom sells batches, this little girl is so smart, Du Weiguo exhaled a long breath and pointed at the foot of the mountain.
The lights were flashing there, and there were police cars parked as far as the eye could see. Du Weiguo said in the calmest tone possible:
"Look at these police cars at the foot of the mountain, there are 26 of them, including 4 trucks, with more than 100 police officers coming.
There should be another wave on the other side of Lake Biwa, and the number is estimated to be about the same. In other words, at least more than 200 police officers were dispatched in the city. "
Fujiwara Sakura also has night vision and extraordinary eyesight. After hearing what Du Weiguo said, she even counted the number of police cars seriously.
"Well, there are indeed 26 vehicles, but there are too many police officers and they entered the temple again. I can't count them."
Du Weiguo couldn't help but smile bitterly. He took two puffs of cigarette and waited for her to finish checking before continuing:
"No need to count, there are 112 people in total, and these are just those on field duty, plus the central dispatch, coordination, and support, there are at least 300 police officers.
For this small town, it is definitely an outpouring of people. Do you think it is possible that there are still police officers resting at home? "
"Oh, oh, that's it."
Fujiwara Sakura suddenly understood and nodded in agreement, but she still had questions to ask, as if she was so smart:
"What if the police officers who colluded with the bad guys were of low level and could only watch helplessly and were completely incompetent?"
Du Weiguo sneered and said in a teasing tone:
"Haha, it's a joke. Not everyone can do this protective umbrella. Those who are not smart and have good eyesight will not be able to do it at all. A low-level police officer with no power will not be able to do it at all."
Fujiwara Sakura asked in a long voice: "Umbrella? What is that? And, just in case~"
"Damn it, shut up~"
Du Weiguo's patience was completely exhausted, his head was buzzing, he smashed the cigarette butt and jumped down from the branch.
The man was in the air, and the Nine Nether Locks shot out and nailed a giant tree. His figure instantly moved dozens of meters horizontally, as fast as a dragon.
"Your Excellency Sha Shen, please wait for me, I, I have one more question, really the last one~"
Fujiwara Sakura eagerly followed him and jumped down from the big tree. The red whip also flew out, and in an instant it wrapped around a branch, and the man flew into the sky like a bird.
Needless to say, Fujiwara Sakura is a girly girl who has sticky teeth and makes people crazy, but her skills are really good.
Since Du Weiguo's debut, she is the only human being who can match him in speed without falling behind in the slightest. Human beings need to focus on this.
Strictly speaking, Du Weiguo has an agile fighting style, and speed has always been his reliance, especially after acquiring the Nine Nether Lock.
It is even more powerful, moving around in complex environments, as if it is possessed by Spider-Man, doing whatever it wants.
While flying in the dense forest, he secretly glanced at Fujiwara Sakura who was closely following him. Not only was this little girl extremely relaxed, but she also seemed to have enough energy to overtake him at any time.
At this moment, Fujiwara Sakura's beautiful phoenix eyes revealed a faint light of pale yellow, and a faint transparent shadow seemed to appear behind her.
Her movements were light and nimble, like a bird, almost flying in the air. Every time she raised her whip and used strength, she could move forward a long way.
Generally speaking, the frequency of Fujiwara Sakura's Chi Lian borrowing force is much lower than the frequency of Du Weiguo's use of Jiuyou Lock, about 5 to 3.
"Tsk, that's interesting. Okay, it's exciting, isn't it? Then I'll see how fast you can be!"
Since ancient times, there has been no first in literature and no second in martial arts. Anyone who is strong is proud. Du Weiguo is naturally not immune to this. At this moment, he became eager to win.
His eyes suddenly sharpened, and with the help of the surging pull of the Nine Nether Locks, he flew straight to a pine tree. His feet suddenly exerted force and kicked heavily on the thick trunk.
"Wow~"
The big tree surrounded by several people groaned happily, and the tree body shook violently, and the pine needles rustled down like a heavy rain.
With the help of the huge reaction force, Du Weiguo increased his speed instantly and flew out like a cannonball from the barrel.
Du Weiguo is now imitating Night Dire's way of rushing, and also mixes it with his usual technique of using the Nine Nether Locks to float and change directions. The two-pronged approach has immediate results and the speed has soared.
Fujiwara Sakura, who was following closely behind Du Weiguo, was caught off guard and was showered with pine needles all over her head and face. She raised her eyebrows and the eldest lady also lost her temper.
"Hmph~"
Fujiwara Sakura snorted coldly, twisted her waist and swung her hips, kicked her toes on the tree trunk, and used her strength to fly into the air, straight to the top of the tree.
The next moment, Fujiwara Sakura swung out her red long whip with all her strength, wrapped it around the crown of the big tree in front of her, and then pulled hard, and flew up like a bird.
This is not an exaggeration. At this moment, she is flying, gliding in the air, and the shadow behind her is becoming more and more obvious, looming, and it is clearly the shape of a pheasant.
Du Weiguo was galloping between the tree trunks, while Fujiwara Sakura was flying in the wind on the treetops, flying up and down, keeping pace with each other, evenly matched.
The next day, it was after 9 o'clock in the morning. Today's weather was quite good, with bright sun and gentle breeze.
To the northeast of Hikone Castle, about 100 kilometers away, is Mount Iimori, a gentle slope leeward on fairly flat grass.
A few stones were used to build a simple fire pit, and a bonfire was lit in the middle. On the wooden frame, several skinned hares were roasted. The skin was now browned and oily, and the meat was fragrant.
Du Weiguo sat calmly beside the fire, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and was slowly spreading seasonings on the roast rabbit.
Today's seasonings are quite rich. In addition to salt, Du Weiguo also has sugar and chili powder on hand, and even seven-flavor Tang Xinzi.
This thing is actually our Chinese Thirteen Incenses. Naturally, these things were bought in the previous ramen shop. Unfortunately, Du Weiguo’s favorite cumin was not available.
That's right, I bought it. Du Weiguo was very particular about his work. When he left the noodle shop, he threw a few US dollar bills on the counter, which was enough to replace the door. The same was true for the pickup truck.
After sprinkling the seasoning, the roasted rabbit immediately became more fragrant. The aroma penetrated his nostrils and hit the Tian Ling Gai. It was so mouth-watering that Du Weiguo couldn't help but lick his lips.
"Hu~hu~"
Not far from him, Fujiwara Sakura lay paralyzed on the grass, curled up in a ball, sounding like thunder, and fell into a deep sleep. Rather than saying she was sleeping, it would be more accurate to say that she was in shock from exhaustion.
This little bitch is not only talkative, she is also very stubborn. When she was on her way just now, she was secretly competing with Du Weiguo.
At first she was able to keep up, but after a period of time, she became useless and almost killed herself.
As a shrine maiden of Atsuta Shrine, Fujiwara Sakura's symbiotic shikigami is a green pheasant that can control the wind. To put it bluntly, it is a green-feathered pheasant. This thing is said to be the national bird of Japan.
After the symbiosis, Fujiwara Sakura's physical attributes increased dramatically, her eyesight was astonishing, and she also gained the ability to control wind in a small area.
Although this ability cannot be directly converted into attack power, it can increase her speed to the extreme, which is why she can race with Du Weiguo.
However, using abilities requires stamina after all. She and Du Weiguo traveled at high speed in the dense forest for less than 2 hours.
During this period, the two traveled nearly 100 kilometers in a straight line. The actual distance was at least more than 300 kilometers, during which they also crossed cliffs and rift valleys.
At the end, Fujiwara Sakura had endured until she ran out of gas and energy, but still refused to admit defeat. She gritted her teeth and persisted until she fainted from exhaustion and fell directly from the air.
Fortunately, Du Weiguo had quick hands and eyes and teleported directly to catch her, otherwise this little girl would have been smashed into a meat pie.
After the rabbit was roasted, Du Weiguo eagerly flicked the cigarette butt into the fire and cut off a hind leg with a small Tang knife. Just as he was about to take a bite, he heard Fujiwara Sakura suddenly let out a faint snort.
Her expression was very painful, her brows were tightly knitted, her eyes were tightly closed, her nose was twitching, and her mouth was opening and closing unconsciously.
Obviously, she was in a comatose state, smelled the smell of roast rabbit, and wanted to eat it eagerly, but her body was too tired and she couldn't wake up even though she wanted to.
This kind of situation can actually be encountered occasionally in real life. It is commonly known as a nightmare, also called a ghost lying on the bed. The consciousness is awake but the body cannot wake up.
These are actually signals released by the body, indicating that they are sick or overworked.
By the way, the old dog on the streets has always been like this recently, so that black and white are reversed. Damn, is it really weird?
Fujiwara Sakura murmured endlessly, and Du Weiguo sighed helplessly, killed the rabbit leg in a few bites, and complained vaguely:
"Damn, I believed your lies, you little bitch, I really owed you in my previous life, even if I fainted, I wouldn't stop."
Du Weiguo patted the oil stains on his hands and picked up a bamboo tube next to him. He had cut it casually on the road just now. It contained some mountain spring water and added salt and sugar.
After getting up and walking to Fujiwara Sakura, Du Weiguo squatted down, held her head, opened her mouth, and poured a few mouthfuls of salt and sugar water into her mouth.
"Gudongdong~"
Fujiwara Sakura drank greedily like a fish out of water, her eyelids shook violently, and finally she slowly opened her eyes.
Seeing Du Weiguo's handsome face so close and lying in his arms, Fujiwara Sakura, who had never been in close contact with a man in her life, was heartbeating fast and her face suddenly turned red.
Du Weiguo, the grandson, could eat a hundred beans without feeling fishy, and he started to exude charm and seduce girls again.
Hard-spoken and soft-hearted, this salty and sugary water is clearly prepared for others. This kind of warm manly behavior of secretly poking at someone, combined with the sarcastic remarks without falseness, is the most deadly.
"Did you save me? Thank you~"
Fujiwara Sakura's eyes flashed and her voice was waxy. Du Weiguo's face was dark and he didn't look good at all. He scolded:
"You have no ability but try to show off your strength. You almost fall to death. Are you so stupid?"
After escaping from death, she just opened her eyes and her whole body was so painful that she almost fell apart. Then she was scolded. Fujiwara Sakura had mixed feelings in her heart. She couldn't hold back any longer. She curled her lips and burst into tears. (End of chapter)
