That night, Yuan Zhisheng and others put Gu Beihe and others from the literary club on the plane, and then drove back to Tokyo.
At five o'clock in the morning, the sky was dim, and the titanium black building of Genji Heavy Industries stood under the hazy sky.
This building is located in a bustling area of Shinjuku District. During the day, there are fashionable office workers coming and going. The air is filled with the smell of strong or weak perfume. The sound of high heels hitting the marble floor dominates the rhythm here.
But at this moment, the rush to work has not yet arrived, and a special "guest" is welcomed in front of the building.
The sound of clogs "tapping" came from far away, and an old man wearing a black kimono walked on the sidewalk. His hair was neatly combed back, and a sword was inserted into the belt of his kimono.
The men in black suits standing in front of the building saluted him: "Mr. Masamune."
Tachibana Masamune just nodded and went straight into the building.
Insert the password card into the card slot. With a beep, the verification is passed, the green light turns on, and the VIP elevator at the end of the hidden passage begins to rise.
Tachibana Masamune did not press the floor button because this elevator did not lead to any other floors at all.
Usually they call this secret elevator "Shinto", and the end of the Shinto can only be the residence of God.
The elevator door opened, and the smell of burning spices hit his face. Tachibana Masamune faced a quiet and profound black space. Two rows of red candlelight outlined a passage, and a long-bright lamp was dimly lit at the end of the passage.
This is the top floor of the building. People who have never been to this floor would never imagine that there is such a space in this office building where fashionable men and women come and go.
The entire floor has been opened up, and the beams are eight or nine meters high. Looking up at the dome makes you feel that you are not in today's Tokyo, but have traveled through time and are standing in the Kokuang Buddhist temple in the Nara period.
Walking slowly along the road led by the candlelight, after passing through the layers of veils, the light of the ever-glazed lamp gradually became clear.
A wooden mural with a height of seven or eight meters is pasted on the wall, and an ever-burning lamp is placed in front of this giant wooden painting.
The content of the wood carving is not the common Bodhisattva or Vajra in Buddhist temples, but giants with snake tails on their lower bodies hugging each other, their long tails intertwined, one man and one woman. The man has a mighty and ferocious face, and the woman is dignified and gentle. She looks like someone. An ancient god.
Surrounding these snake-bodied ancient gods are various monsters in Japanese mythology. Countless arms sprouted from the backs of the ancient gods, holding different weapons to fight these monsters.
There was a young man sitting in front of the evergreen lantern. He was wearing a white kimono and a high hat like a priest. There was a rosewood sword rest in front of him.
The ace executive of the Japanese branch of Kassel Academy, the young master of the Snake Qi Eighth Family, the head of the Yuan Family, and the youngest son of Yuan.
At this moment, he was dressed like an ancient prince, exuding a chilling majesty.
Tachibana Masamune climbed up the steps and sat cross-legged opposite him.
"Eri, stop playing games." Minamoto turned around and shouted behind the veil, "Mr. Masamune is here."
A white figure lifted the veil and came out.
She was wearing a kimono that was almost exactly the same as Minamoto's, except that she wore a miko's white and red skirt underneath. She was holding a PSP in her hand and had headphones in her ears.
There was no expression on her face as she climbed up the steps and sat side by side with Minamoto. Her kimono also showed mysterious divine characters and various gods and demons in the light.
Shadow Emperor's robe.
The noble symbol that represents the pinnacle of power of the Eight Snakes and Families, the actual controller of the highest power in Japan is not the Emperor, but the Shadow Emperor.
The person who can serve as the Shadow Emperor is not the so-called head of the three inner families, nor the head of the Eight Snake Ki family, but a noble hybrid named "Imperial Blood".
Many years ago, when the last Shadow Emperor Uesugoshi rebelled against the Seraki Hachi family, he hung the Shadow Emperor's robe on the lintel of the shrine and burned it to express his complete break with the family.
Uesugi Yue believed that the world no longer needed this kind of ancient kimono, which was extremely handmade, because as long as he did not leave any children, there would be no new Shadow Emperor in the world, and naturally there would be no need for the Shadow Emperor's robes.
But decades later, the Sheqi family once again woven this robe that represents supreme dignity.
And there are two pieces!
The person wearing it is not so much the emperor in the shadows, but the descendant of the gods in the land of Japan!
Minamoto Chisei and Eriki sat on both sides of the evergreen lantern, with one side of their faces illuminated and the other side hidden in the darkness.
Their faces all looked dignified and majestic in this light, like the ancient emperors and queens on the murals, or like the brothers and sisters Inzanaki and Inzanami, the ancient gods who gave birth to all Japanese people in mythology.
This scene is so solemn that it makes people move and frighten at the same time, and both Minamoto and Eri Uesugi are stunningly beautiful men and women.
If Eri Uesugi wasn't there to concentrate on playing games, there wouldn't be any flaws...
Tachibana Masamune could vaguely hear the sound of swords breaking through the wind leaked from her earphones, and it sounded like some kind of exciting action game.
"Eri Yi!" Yuan Zhisheng frowned and lowered his voice, just like an elder brother scolding his naughty sister.
Eriki silently put the PSP under her miko skirt and sat expressionlessly.
"It doesn't matter, Eri's bloodline problem has been solved by that person, and she can become more lively in the future, which is what I hope to see."
Masamune Tachibana sat across from the two of them with a smile, his face illuminated by the flickering lights.
Eriki thought for a while, opened her mouth and said, "So...why don't we turn on the lights?"
After saying that, she seemed to remember something and quickly shut her mouth.
Yuan Zhisheng's eyes changed, then calmly returned to their original state.
Tachibana Masamune was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "It makes sense."
With that said, he called someone to turn on the lights.
The room suddenly became brightly lit.
Tachibana Masamune asked: "Who has gone back?"
Yuan Zhisheng nodded, turned his head and stared at Eri Yi's flawless little face, with a faint concern in his eyes: "Gu Jun met the friends of the Celestial Dynasty in Shikatori Town, and then went back with them. Before leaving, Gu Jun gave Eriyi an in-depth treatment, and if nothing goes wrong, Eriyi will be cured after the next treatment."
"That's great," Tachibana Masamune seemed to be sighing, "If Eri can really be cured, then our Snake Qihachi family will usher in a rare dual emperor rule in history. This will help us kill the gods and escape from Kassel. It will be a huge help for the control plan.”
Yuan Zhisheng was also very excited when he heard Tachibana Masamune's words, but suddenly calmed down and seemed hesitant.
Masamune Tachibana smiled: "You want to ask me about the person who wanted to take away Eri, right?"
Yuan Zhisheng nodded and said in a solemn tone: "Mr. Masamune has a keen eye. If you really let Gu Jun take away Eri Yi, the rest of the things can be said easily, but the blood of the emperor..."
His words stopped short, but Masamune Tachibana already understood what he meant. Masamune Tachibana shook his head: "Zhisheng, you have to understand that this matter does not depend on you and me, but on how Eri Yi behaves." It’s not a choice.”
"Based on that person's strength, if he wants to, we can't stop him from taking away Eri, but you also have to believe in one thing, that is, if Eri doesn't want to leave, that person will too. I won’t take her away by force.”
Minamoto looked at Masamune Tachibana: "Dad... you're right."
Tachibana Masamune smiled and looked at Eriki: "So, Eriki, what do you think?"
"I..." Eriki paused, "I want to be with Gu Bei."
Yuan Zhisheng lowered his head, and Tachibana Masamune smiled helplessly: "It seems that we have to hurry up on some things. Otherwise, if the family's sharpest Tiancong Yunjian leaves, we will have to pay a heavy price if we want to kill the gods. The price has been paid.”
Yuan Zhisheng immediately knelt down and said, "I'm sorry, Dad!"
"I understand," Masamune Tachibana waved his hand, "You are also doing this for Eri's happiness. In fact, we and that gentleman have the same purpose. In this case, you don't need to apologize to me."
Yuan Zhisheng sat up straight and said:
"Actually, there is another way."
"oh?"
Yuan Zhisheng looked into Tachibana Masamune's eyes and said slowly: "During the battle with Deadpool yesterday, I saw Gu Jun's power. If we can get him to help us kill God..."
Tachibana Masamune shook his head: "This is a good idea, but our purpose is not to simply kill the gods, but to use the deeds of killing the gods to get the Snake Qihachi family out of the control of the headquarters. After all, that person is the headquarters Of course, if you let him do it, he can kill the god, but the headquarters will also know the existence of the emperor's blood. To be cautious, it is best not to let that person know about the god-killing plan."
"Yes, I didn't think carefully."
Masamune Tachibana looked at Minamoto: "You just mentioned Deadpool. I remember you said on the phone that the scale of Deadpool this time is very large, almost the same as the one a year and a half ago? Can you elaborate on it?"
Yuan Zhisheng nodded and described the scene in detail to Tachibana Masamune.
Tachibana Masamune pondered for a while after listening, and then expressed his guess: "Nibelungen."
"The country of the dead..."
Minamoto had already expected Tachibana Masamune's guess. In fact, generally speaking, only the Nibelungen could accommodate such a number of deadpools.
As for the speculation about raising Deadpool, it is just speculation now.
"It is said that the Nibelungen is a projection of the real world and the land of dragons. If there is anything that can create so many Deadpools, it should be there."
Tachibana Masamune said: "I will arrange for the Miyamoto family to speed up the digging of the well to hide the corpse. As for investigating whether anyone is raising Deadpool... let the Fuma family master do this."
"yes."
The two were silent for a while. Both of them knew who the next thing was about, but neither of them could speak first.
Until Masamune Tachibana couldn't help but sigh.
Yuan Zhisheng lowered his head.
"You don't feel too good," Tachibana Masamune looked at Minamoto Chisheng, "He has been dead for so many years, and now he appears alive in front of you, and he has become a ghost."
"It's all over," Yuan Zhisheng's lips trembled a little, "I killed him with my own hands back then. The one who survives now is not the child, but the evil ghost living in that body."
"Just look away."
Tachibana Masamune couldn't help but sigh again, with a somewhat guilty tone: "Speaking of which, this incident is also my fault. At that time, I just hoped that he could become the shadow of the Shadow Emperor, so that I could better protect your safety. No think……"
Yuan Zhisheng shook his head: "It's not your fault, and you didn't want to."
Tachibana Masamune nodded: "He is now."
"I was imprisoned in the dungeon of the Snake Qiba family. He is the Dragon King of the Mongolian Ghosts. I plan to find the general through him and defeat the entire Mongolian Ghosts at once."
"Okay, okay," Masamune Tachibana was a little pleased, "The thousand-year struggle between the family and ghosts is finally coming to an end. I'm proud of you, my child."
"This is what I should do," Yuan Zhisheng nodded: "By the way, Dad, there is one more thing."
Minamoto looked at Eriki: "During the battle with Deadpool that night, Sakura was seriously injured. She is still in the hospital. She may not be able to take care of Eriki's daily life in the short term. Can you give her some more help? Do you want to arrange a personal maid?"
Masamune Tachibana waved his hand: "Let the Sakurai family head arrange it. If it doesn't work out, go to the Tamamo-mae Club and pick a few. I remember that's the Inuyama family head's place, right?"
"Yes, thank you Masamune-san."
Tachibana Masamune laughed loudly and pointed his finger at Minamoto Chisheng: "You, you, call me daddy when you need it, but when you don't, you call me Mr. Masamune. It's really burning the bridge."
Yuan Zhisheng touched the tip of the pen guiltily.
"Okay, I'm leaving, things have to be arranged."
"My best regards, Mr. Masamune."
"Um?"
"Congratulations dad."
"That's pretty much it."
Tachibana Masamune stood up and was about to turn around and leave when his cell phone suddenly rang.
Come.
"Moxi Moxi, this is Tachibana Masamune."
"What!"
"Just wait, I'll be there right away."
Tachibana Masamune hung up the phone and looked at Yuan Zhisheng.
"What's wrong, Dad?"
Tachibana Masamune looked a little ugly: "Two pieces of bad news."
? ? ? ?
Shouldn't it be one good news and one bad news?
Don't play your cards according to the routine, right?
Minamoto looked at Tachibana Masamune without saying a word.
Tachibana Masamune said: "The first thing is that the dungeon of the Snake Qihachi family was robbed, and the girl Minamoto disappeared."
Yuan Zhisheng frowned: "Are they the monsters?"
"Probably." Tachibana Masamune nodded, "But Minamoto's disappearance is very strange. The family guards didn't even see how he left. It wasn't until the person who delivered the food came in today that he discovered that he was missing."
Yuan Zhisheng thought for a while: "It's Yanling, Mingzhao should be able to achieve this effect."
"Yes." Tachibana Masamune held a cigarette in his mouth and was about to light it when he remembered that Eri was still there. "I didn't expect that the Mongolians would have such talent. I made a mistake this time."
"What about the second piece of bad news?"
Tachibana Masamune sighed: "This is worse."
"Headquarters sent a message to the family, saying that a dragon's heartbeat was detected within the Japan Trench."
"That is to say..."
"A dragon has resurrected in the Japanese Trench."
——
"What the hell?" Gu Bei listened to Ange's calm tone on the other side of the phone and felt that this guy was probably kidding himself, "Say what you just said again."
"I said, there is a dragon resurrected in the Japanese Trench. You should take the time to kill that dragon during this trip."
Gu Bei was furious: "You think that's a bed bug! Just kill me!? How about that? I killed the She Qiba family by the way. What do you think?"
"If you're happy, that's fine."
"grass!"
