January 10, 2009, the weather was light rain.
A week has passed since the White King's awakening incident.
Floodwaters that have submerged two-thirds of mainland Japan are receding.
However, this tsunami seems to have penetrated Japan's continental shelf. According to expert predictions, after the flood recedes, Japan will probably lose nearly half of its land area.
And the remaining half couldn't last fifty years.
Now the whole world is discussing the topic of aiding Japan - of course, everyone understands whether it is real aid or trying to take advantage of the situation.
But all the above are just official statements.
The real truth is that the simultaneous collapse of Yonoshigahara and Takamagahara left a vacancy deep in the trench that supported the Japanese mainland, which led to Japan's sinking.
Discussions between countries also include responses to the "dragon disaster".
This heavy rain and tsunami is probably the largest disaster that mankind has ever experienced. I don’t know if it is a coincidence or has some special meaning. This disaster was officially named the "Heras Tsunami" by Japanese officials.
Maybe there are mixed breeds in the named group.
Although Japan has lost a considerable part of its land, a sovereign country will not be removed from the list because of the lack of land area.
So it's strange that the Japanese people are actively rebuilding their homes after the disaster.
The disaster caused countless casualties. After this incident, more than 30% of Japanese residents chose to immigrate to other countries, and more than half of the remaining 70% expressed their intention to immigrate, especially in Kanto, which was the hardest hit by the disaster. The area has the largest number of people.
It is expected that during this period, countries around the world will usher in a huge wave of immigrants.
The lack of land and the loss of population have made Japan a country in name only - if it were not for the beautiful country, it would most likely not even have a name.
The worst-hit place is Tokyo.
Except for some high-rise buildings, basically everything was submerged. The Tokyo Sky Tree, which has not yet been completely completed, stands alone in the water. There is no longer the feeling of being able to see all the small mountains at once.
But Tokyo is also lucky.
The continental shelf here is extremely strong and has not been washed away by the tsunami. It is a tolerable area.
But this kind of place is probably no longer suitable for living in.
Relevant departments have studied it and are preparing to build bridges in high-rise buildings above the water to turn it into a tourist attraction - similar to the feeling of Venice, a water city.
In fact, this proposal is not the official idea, but the Sheqiba family's.
The Sheqiba family was not seriously affected by the disaster. Most of their people died in the battle with the fierce ghosts and hunters.
As for wealth, the Sheqi family did not suffer any loss at all.
So after the incident ended, they bought the abandoned old city of Tokyo and then proposed a plan to revitalize the water city.
Gu Bei felt that this matter was going to be a great success, and said that after the construction was completed, he would definitely take Eri back to his hometown to go shopping - not the underwater ones.
However, although the losses of the Sheqiba family were not serious in other aspects, in terms of personnel, the losses of the Sheqiba family were very serious.
A large number of lower-level members were killed, and the middle-level members also suffered heavy losses in the firefight with the fierce ghosts. Of the original five heads of the outer families, only the heads of the Inuyama family and the Fengma family were left. Their injuries were not particularly serious. They just rested for two days and resumed their duties. Back at their posts, the other heads of the Miyamoto family, the Sakurai family and the Ryoma family were all seriously injured.
Among them, Sakurai Nanami, the head of the Sakurai family, was seriously injured and dying. Sakurai Kogure, a defected member of the Sakurai family and the current fierce ghost dragon horse, took over the job.
The duties of the Miyamoto family and the Ryoma family are temporarily represented by Minamoto's retainers Crow and Yasha.
The reason why the Snake Qihachi family was able to accept Sakurai Kogure as the temporary head of the Sakurai family was mainly because of the return of Minamoto's daughter.
The whereabouts of the current Shadow Emperor, who also serves as the head of the family, are unknown. The previous Shadow Emperor, Uesugoshi, and the second son of the Gen family, who also have imperial blood, temporarily act as the Shadow Emperor, and the heads of the Fuma family and the Inuyama family jointly take over the duties of the head of the family.
Even the Dragon King of the Fierce Demons, Minamoto Girl, has returned, so naturally no one will make excuses for the existence of Sakurai Kogure.
Moreover, the Sheqiba family is currently short of manpower.
In this way, the Sheqi Ba family, which was originally supposed to be paralyzed by the departure of Yuan Zhisheng, is now operating again, and with Yuan Zhisheng, the former Dragon King of the Fierce Ghosts, the cleanup of the Fierce Ghosts is progressing rapidly.
For the Japanese mixed race, this was a disaster.
But it’s also a new life.
The Japanese hybrids in the past, whether they were the Snake Qihachi family or the fierce ghosts, all lived in the shadow of the White King.
Now that the White King has been eliminated, this is a great good thing for the entire mixed race in Japan.
It's just that the price is too heavy.
Moreover, the Japanese mixed race has not only the mountain of White King on its head, but also the control of the secret party.
Of course, the Secret Party has no time to care about them now.
"So, there is a traitor within the secret party?"
Caesar was lying on the hospital bed with bandages all over his body, looking like a mummy.
They are now in a private hospital sponsored by Gattuso's family.
It is said to be a hospital, but in fact it is closer to a courtyard. The buildings are in a modern style with geometric exterior walls, but the garden has a classical European feel. The lawns are trimmed lushly, and I don’t know what kind of flowers are in bloom. There is a cool feeling in the rain. The fragrance.
Hanging at the door was a nameplate written in Japanese. Gu Bei had forgotten what was written on the nameplate, but he only remembered that the name of the hospital was particularly difficult to pronounce.
To be honest, if it weren't for that nameplate, probably no one would believe that this was a hospital. There wasn't even a red cross hanging here. It looked more like a high-end resort hotel or some kind of country villa for a super wealthy person.
At least according to the understanding of people like Lu Mingfei, the inpatient department is always a large room with six to eight people. The patients loudly ask for cigarettes, and the nurses loudly say to smoke and get out. There are water bottles hanging everywhere, and there are hanging water bottles on the bedside table. There are fruit and flower baskets. The more fruit and flower baskets, the more prestigious the restaurant is outside.
And Gu Bei is better than him.
Gu Bei, who used to work in Lu's private hospital, has seen two-person rooms and luxurious single rooms, but this is the first time he has seen one with its own courtyard.
The decoration in the ward is similar to that of a hotel suite. Not only does it have a desk, bedside tables and a comfortable double bed, but there are also landscape oil paintings hanging on the wall. The whole room is filled with a reassuring smell of lavender.
Caesar was lying on the hospital bed, with one foot suspended, and paired with the mummy's attire, it looked a bit funny.
There was not only Caesar himself in the room, but also Chu Zihang and Fingel who were dressed similarly to him, as well as Gu Beilu Mingfei and Xia Mi who were intact.
It wouldn't be right to say it was intact.
Gu Bei's eyes were covered with thick black gauze, making him look like a blind man.
"By the way, can you really see like this?" Fingel was a little curious, "Don't you need a crutch?"
"If you want me to twist off your leg and use it as a crutch, just say so. I don't mind a little violence." Gu Bei smiled horribly.
"Then forget it." Fingel instantly retracted his teeth.
Gu Bei then began to answer Caesar's question: "Yes, and what you said is inaccurate. It's not that there is a spy within the secret party."
Having said this, he paused and considered before continuing: "The mole is on the board of directors."
As soon as the words were spoken, the whole place fell into silence.
Caesar and Fingel were silent because they were completely unable to believe and accept this fact.
The so-called Kassel board of directors is actually the top secret party.
The secret party, a dragon-slaying organization that has lasted for thousands of years - it is actually a bit exaggerated to say that, after all, the history of European hybrids does not last for thousands of years, but this does not prevent others from bragging.
A mole has infiltrated the most stringent dragon-slaying organization in thousands of years. This is as unbelievable as the FBI infiltrating the Celestial Dragon Group.
It's hard to imagine what this means. If we really want to say it, it will probably be a disaster of destruction.
This means that the Secret Party is not trustworthy, and the Secret Party's untrustworthiness will bring about the collapse of the entire dragon-slaying enterprise.
The collapse of the dragon-slaying enterprise means that mankind has lost its future.
This is simply a devastating event.
Of course, it was only Caesar and Fingel who thought so, and the silence of the other people in the room had their own reasons.
Xia Mi didn't care about these things. He was sitting on the stool next to Chu Zihang's bed, peeling an apple.
It would be better to say that it would be a good thing for her that the world is destroyed or that dragons rule the world - after all, she is the Dragon King herself.
Lu Mingfei actually didn't care too much.
Now he is no longer the ignorant bad guy, and after going through some things, he can roughly guess what he is. The only thing that makes him confused is-why it must be him.
What was Lu Mingze's reason for choosing him?
And Chu Zihang's silence was simply because he had just lost and found his father, and now he has lost his father again.
The wind and rain have not stopped outside, and the wind makes a sharp whistle when it passes through the small building. The rain hits the windows. The atmosphere in the ward is dull, as if it is some kind of meeting to decide the fate of mankind.
In fact, it seems to be similar.
"Does anyone else know about this?" Caesar asked.
Gu Bei shook his head: "Apart from a few of us, probably only the insider knows about it."
Gu Bei's meaning is very clear. He trusts everyone here, so he will tell this matter instead of investigating it himself.
"I'll handle this matter," Caesar said.
If there is anyone here who can really interfere in the affairs of the school board, then there is no one else but him.
It's just that this is a very dangerous mission, and if you are not careful, you will be in danger - everyone knows this, but everyone just knows it well and does not say it out loud.
Just because Caesar chose to take the responsibility himself does not mean that others can completely ignore the matter. Everyone must make their own efforts to find the mole.
Fingel smiled and dropped the topic: "By the way, Boss Gu, can you touch me with your magical little hand again? I don't want to lie here until school starts."
Gu Bei shook his head: "The functions of both hands are very powerful and can modify the body and soul without limit, but this does not mean that it has no side effects."
When a person's body is injured, it will start its recovery mechanism and then slowly heal. This is a normal state.
However, if you use both hands many times in a short period of time, or if you use both hands to repair each injury, it will weaken the body's ultimate strength.
In this way, the next time you are injured, the body's recovery function will become "inert" and refuse to recover.
That's why Gu Bei didn't use both hands to treat them.
This is also for their own good.
"Chopper..." Caesar suddenly said, "I mean Yuan Zhisheng, is he dead?"
Gu Bei glanced at him and shook his head: "No, but it's almost as good as death."
——
Tokyo, Shinjuku, Genji Heavy Industries.
Fortunately for the Tou Sheki Hachi family, Genji Heavy Industries was at a very high level, which also prevented it from being flooded.
The black yacht stopped in front of the titanium black building. A man in a black suit jumped from the yacht into the window of the building. A young woman in a kimono was waiting here.
Genji Heavy Industries' facilities are very complete. Even if it is soaked in water, it will not affect its internal power operation.
The exclusive VIP elevator took them straight to the 63rd floor, passed through a long walkway, and stopped in front of a steel automatic door.
After the woman verified her irises, the steel door slowly moved along the slide rails.
Behind the door is an authentic Japanese-style teahouse. In such a modern building, there is such a teahouse hidden inside. It seems as if a hundred years have passed as soon as you step in.
There is a tatami floor, a fine-lattice wooden screen, a flower arrangement by Ohara-ryu on the small table, a print by Hisikawa Shinobu hung on the wall, and Kamedo's hand-made iron kettle, with water boiling slightly.
In the center of the tea room sits a young man wearing a navy blue kimono, holding a cup of tea steadily in his hand and looking out the window through the floor-to-ceiling windows. From this unique location, most of Tokyo can be seen.
In fact, there is nothing special about this scenery, there is water everywhere.
"Childish young master."
The man sat down behind the man in kimono: "The young master's retainer, Saeki Ryuuji, has met the young master."
"It doesn't have to be like this," Yuan Zhinv said, "You are my brother's retainer, not mine, so you don't need to bow to me."
"You are the current Shadow King, this is what I should do."
"Mr. Saeki..."
"Just call me Crow."
Ryuji Saeki, nicknamed "Crow", sounds like Minamoto's retainer, but in fact he is one of Minamoto's thugs.
Nowadays, the talents of the Sheqi family are withering, and Crow, who was born on the streets, has taken the position of the head of the Miyamoto family - even though he is an agent, he can no longer use Crow's name.
Saeki Ryuji is the famous name.
But in front of Yuan Zhennu, he still calls himself Crow.
Yuan Zhennu didn't say anything more, but poured him a cup of tea.
The crow quickly expressed his thanks.
"Actually, it's not me who called you here this time." Yuan Zhimu smiled.
"Not you?" Crow was confused, "That's..."
"It's my brother."
With a "clang" sound, the teacup in Crow's hand fell to the ground.
Some people died, but not completely...
