Tokyo, Ginza, Kabukiza.
This building with a history of more than 100 years, known as the throne of Kabuki theater, was empty tonight.
This is an extremely rare situation, because Kabukiza is located on the busiest street of Ginza in Tokyo. Performances of various sizes are held here every day. Usually, the closer to meal time, the more tourists there are.
It is true that in today's fast-paced life, few young people can calm down to watch a whole Noh performance or Kabuki performance. Theaters are gradually being replaced by younger cinemas and screening rooms, but there will always be some. Niche groups who love traditional culture and old people who are nostalgic will frequently visit this gatehouse, which has accumulated hundreds of years of humanities and Chinese quintessence. Apart from these regular customers, there are also young people who come to Tokyo to visit the gate of this ancient building. I opened it to take pictures...but tonight I couldn't see any tourists approaching the entrance of Kabukiza. The outdoor parking lot was empty, and even the ticket window had no staff.
The largest theater in Tokyo, which has constant performances, suddenly closed its doors tonight. There were even black-clad bodyguards wandering around to drive away tourists who approached the building... Because at this moment, there was a performance going on in Kabukiza. Big meeting.
All the props on the stage have been removed. A long mahogany table stands in the center of the stage. Dim lights fall from the dome. Eight chairs are placed on both sides of the long table. At this time, four chairs are sitting on it. There were four figures, and four other chairs were hanging empty.
The auditorium was filled with men in black. They all had large-caliber Glock pistols on their waists and sharp tactical daggers hidden in their cuffs. Their expressions were serious and calm, just like samurai from the Edo period. .
These men in black uniforms wear dragon-shaped badges on their chests, with the Chinese character "鬼" written in the middle of the badges.
The members of the Oni Clan gathered in Kabukiza tonight. All the important members and cadres were present. The long table in the center of the stage was the seat of the top leader of the Oni Clan, who holds the title of shogi. That was the most important position. The conspicuous position is the "eye of the typhoon" of power.
Kazama Ruri and Sakurai Kogure, who are the dragon kings and dragon horses of the fierce ghosts, are among them. They occupy the extremely high second and third places.
Sitting opposite Sakurai Kogure is a woman. The woman's name is Ryoma Kogure, the "Narika" of the Oni Clan. She is the fourth person in the entire Oni Clan organization, second only to Sakurai Kogure who is Ryoma.
Ryoma Chika is a very unique woman. She is about twenty to thirty years old, and her temperament is between pure and charming. The most attractive thing about Ryoma Chika is that she has a pair of almost bewitching Zuifeng. Her slender eyebrows are upturned gracefully, and her eyes are sparkling and flowing. When you meet her gaze, it’s like meeting a charming fox demon in the misty mountains and forests. When the woman smiles, Maybe his soul was taken away in a short time.
There are rumors among the Menggui that Ryoma Zhixiang is the lover of the king. It is thanks to the support of the king that Ryoma Zhixiang can climb to the position of the fourth person in the Menggui. There are also rumors that the "gold general" of the Menggui is "Yoshikita Taro and "Ginjiang" are actually Ryoma Shika's subordinates. They support and collude with each other among the fierce ghosts, and they are able to win in such a big group by virtue of their too young age and superficial qualifications. After rising to a high position in the organization, there are also rumors that Ryoma Koyuki is having an affair with Ashiki, who just betrayed the Japanese branch and joined the Mongols... But no matter what, Ryoma Koyuki is able to occupy a place in the most ferocious underworld in Japan. It is impossible to be a vase with only beauty. There is no doubt that she has her own true ability in some aspects.
It is well known to everyone among the monsters that Ryoma Makoka and Sakurai Kogure do not deal with each other. After all, they are in the same high-level position in the same organization and they are the only two women in the high-level management. Naturally, there will be evildoers in private who will treat the two of them. Compare.
But in terms of status, contribution to the organization, or magnanimity, Ryoma Chika seems to be slightly inferior to Sakurai Kogure in all aspects. After all, it is rumored that Ryoma Chika's lover is either a middle-aged king general or a middle-aged king. It is Yoshikitaro who lacks ability, but Sakurai Kogure's lover is Kazama Ruri. In terms of temperament, talent, or ability, Kazama Ruri can be called the best man among the monsters. A common dream lover for women.
Moreover, one thing that makes Sakurai Kogure more popular than Ryoma Chika is that once Ryoma Chika hears someone spreading rumors about her in the organization, she will viciously order the tongue of the person who spreads the rumors to be cut off. Ryoma Chika will definitely retaliate for this kind of hatred. Her character is shameless and intimidating, but Sakurai Kogure is different. You can talk about her and Kazama Ruri in private, and you can even talk about it in front of Sakurai Kogure without being blamed by her. Even this intellectual The woman will also smile kindly at you and say, "Fortunately, it is Xiaomu's honor to be appreciated by Lord Dragon King, but it is far from being called a lover's relationship. Xiaomu is just an ordinary woman that Lord Dragon King likes, so I hope this will happen." Such remarks should be reduced in circulation, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to Lord Dragon King."
Sitting at the far corner of the long table was a thin and taciturn man. He was the "Ningbu" of the Menggui clan, and he was the last among the eight senior officials with shogi codenames.
No one knows the real name of "Chengbu". This man seems to appear out of thin air and then parachute to this position. He rarely appears among the meng ghosts, but Wang will trust him especially, except for the occasional person who listens. Everything about this man is a mystery except that the king will call him "boar".
As for the four vacant positions, the "King General", the vocational leader of the Menggui, the "Keiba" Asumi, the "Golden General" Yoshikitaro, and Yoshikitaro's partner "Silver General", all died in two During the hunt for the head of the Uesugi family of the Snake Qihachi family ten days ago.
"Why hasn't the meeting started yet?" Ryoma Chika seemed a little impatient, "Isn't it already due? Is it possible that we have extra guests?"
As Ryoma Zōka spoke, her eyes drifted toward Kazama Ruri intentionally or unintentionally. In addition to the fact that Kazama Ruri was the top decision-maker among the fierce ghosts today, she also wanted to take a few more looks at this man's handsome face.
In fact, the rumors widely circulated among the Meng ghosts are often 70% true and 30% false. It was indeed because of the support of the king general that she was able to gain a foothold among the Meng ghosts in the first place. Both the "Golden General" and the "Silver General" were hers. Kumonakaomi, Asugiya, who had just joined the Oni clan, quickly got together with her. These are all true... But rather than saying that there has always been a conflict between Ryoma Soka and Sakurai Kogure, it is better to say that It was Ryoma Koka who had a unilateral hatred of Sakurai Kogure, and the root of everything was because of Kazama Ruri.
Devoting herself to the "King General" was for status, getting together with Yoshikitarou and the "Gin General" was capturing and using her, and having an affair with Asugi was because she really admired that man, but the real object of Ryoma Shouka's inner admiration was actually... Kazama Ruri... She thinks that Kazama Ruri is the man who best matches her in the world. The man with the name "Ruri" is so beautiful, so elegant, and so sentimental, like a bird standing proudly in the snow-capped mountains. The elegant white fox at the top makes people feel affection for her. Ryoma Zōka fell in love at the first sight of this man.
She once plucked up the courage to put on a transparent tulle and open the door of Kazama Liuli late at night, but in exchange she only got a gentle "It's late at night, and I'm getting ready to take a rest." Ryoma Zoshika tentatively opened her ears Clinging to the door panel, she heard a man's chuckle and a woman's groan coming from inside the house. Ryoma Zhixiang was furious. She was unwilling to stand in the shadow of the door, wanting to see which woman dared to look at her. Seduces the man on the bed.
As a result, two hours later, Ryoma Shoka saw a flushed Sakurai Kogure coming out of Kazama Ruri's bedroom. The next day, Kazama Ruri directly allocated the Kukakukan under her name to Sakurai Kogure. That woman In one fell swoop, she became the "Dragon Horse" of the ferocious ghosts, and put his surname on hers... From then on, the grudge between the two women was forged.
Ryoma Koka's voice was not too quiet, and it echoed in the empty kabuki theater. However, in the face of Ryoma Koka's questions and gazes, Kazama Ruri, who had the highest status in the room, always remained silent, closing her eyes like a Buddhist monk. Word.
"The meeting can't be held yet because the person presiding over the meeting hasn't come yet." Sakurai Kogure said calmly.
"Is Lord Ryoma out of his mind?" Ryoma Zhixiang smiled coldly, "Isn't Lord Dragon King right here? Who else can chair this meeting besides him?"
"The King has not arrived yet." Sakurai Kogure said.
"Lord General Wang?" Ryoma Zoshika glanced at the corner of his mouth, "So I said, Lord Ryoma, are you confused? General Wang died two days ago, along with 'Golden General', 'Silver General' and A It’s important to note that it’s impossible for dead people to appear at this meeting.”
"Yoshikitaro and his partner are indeed two trash, but Asuki was a good man. It's a pity that he died. We, the monsters, have lost 20% of our combat power. In the final analysis, everything is because of There was a mistake in the guidance of the king general." Ryoma Zhixiang said intentionally or unintentionally, "The revival of the 'god' is imminent. Every day we are leaderless, we will fall behind the Sheqi Eight Family. The opportunity to open the road to hell is fleeting, so why not Let’s take advantage of this meeting to determine the new leader? The vacancies at the top must also be filled in time.”
After saying this, Ryoma Zoshika glanced at the crowd of Menggui members in the auditorium. When the members in the front row heard that they were going to fill the vacancies in the senior management, their eyes were hot and they were eager to try... This It is Ryoma Koka's method, the people's will, and the general trend. If Sakurai Kogure speaks out against it at this moment, it will definitely cause public outrage.
Ryoma Kogure glanced at Sakurai Kogure. Sakurai Kogure did not object or show any expression... Very good, she completely has the right to speak in this meeting, Ryoma Kogure thought to herself.
"No one will object to Mr. Ruri Kazama's succession to the position of the new generation of 'King General' among the Mongols, but the position of the new 'Dragon King'..." Ryoma Shoka glanced at Sakurai Kogure, "I don't think Ms. Sakurai has any idea. Qualified for succession.”
Sakurai Kogure smiled noncommittally and motioned for Ryoma Chika to continue speaking.
"The Paradise Pavilion was lost in the hands of Miss Sakurai, am I right?" Ryoma Zōka's expression turned cold, "The Paradise Pavilion is the most important territory of our Mongolian Ghost Clan, and it is also the most profitable under the Mongolian Ghost Clan. The casino is an indispensable intelligence hub in the gang... The Dragon King entrusted you with such an important responsibility, but it was easily swept away by the Snake Qihachi family. However, as the manager of the Paradise Hall, Miss Sakurai, you did not You chose to take responsibility and live and die with the Paradise Pavilion, and you are still sitting here peacefully. Are you a deserter? What kind of shame do you have to sit next to the Dragon King? If I were you, I would have killed myself to apologize!"
】
Ryoma Chika kept talking about Sakurai Kogure's crimes, until the last moment, her ambition finally revealed: "Sakurai Kogure, you are just a loser. Losers should be together with the 'King General' and the 'Golden General' They met the same end. The leader of the fierce ghosts belongs to Lord Fengjian, and the only one who can assist Lord Fengjian to stand at the pinnacle of the entire underworld... is me!"
At this time, the Kabuki Theater was completely silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Ryoma Childaka. Ryoma Childaka felt that she was like the most dazzling actor in a performance at this moment, and she became the well-deserved protagonist today. , Sakurai Kogure is dim beside her, and the only one who can share the glory with her is her future man Ruri Kazama.
Ryoma Sakura glanced at Sakurai Kogure with a victor's attitude, but the next second she frowned... because Sakurai Kogure was smiling, not a bitter smile or a sneer, but a smile of pity.
Sakurai Kogure is definitely not trying to save some dignity. Ryoma Kogure understands her... So why is this woman laughing? She is obviously the loser, right? He was about to fall from the position of "Dragon Horse", but he looked at himself with such a pitiful smile, as if he was the one destined to be miserable.
Ryoma Zōka looked at Kazama Ruri again, and Kazama Ruri unexpectedly opened her eyes and looked at her, but Ryoma Zōka couldn't feel a trace of joy when her beloved man looked at her... because Kazama Ruri looked at her. His eyes were like looking at a dead person.
Suddenly there was applause from the corridor leading from the stage to the backstage, followed by heavy footsteps, and huge fear exploded in Ryoma Koka's heart... She suddenly thought that Sakurai Kogure said that the meeting could not start yet, because The person presiding over the meeting hasn't arrived yet!
"You are worthy of being the woman I trained with my own hands. Ah Xiang, your ruthlessness is truly worthy of me. I am very pleased." A black shadow walked out of the corridor, with a face like the mask of an ancient official.
"Ah!" Ryoma Zōka looked at the figure that suddenly appeared, her legs softened, and she fell on the seat, "King... Lord General! You... you are still alive! Oh no... you are indeed alive! I have been I believe you will not die easily..."
Ryoma Zhixiang's words were incoherent, and the king slowly approached the woman.
