"Hello!"

A female voice suddenly sounded, attracting everyone's attention.

I saw a somewhat embarrassed woman stumbling over from the edge of the square, running up to Xu Cheng in one breath, and then put her hands on her knees, panting.

After she finished breathing, she complained to Xu Cheng: "Peace Messenger, didn't you say you would take me away? I waited in your dormitory for so long and never waited for you to come back. Later, the whole building was occupied.

It collapsed, but luckily I was smarter and ran out early."

This nagging woman is Keiko who helped Xu Cheng obtain information once.

Xu Cheng was surprised and said: "So you are still alive?"

To be honest, after the fight with Yao Guang, he completely forgot about this woman and had no time to think about her at all.

"What do you mean I'm still alive?"

Keiko said very dissatisfied: "Shouldn't you say at this time - great, you are still alive?"

She stared at Xu Cheng suspiciously: "Wait a minute, have you forgotten me?"

"How come."

Xu Cheng didn't blush at all: "Aren't you still alive and well now? This is the luck I brought to you."

"Is that so?"

Keiko pretended to believe it, and then said: "Thank you for saving me. I can't repay you now, so I can only promise to give you a monkey with my life."

Xu Cheng's smile suddenly froze.

Damn, your map of Yan Kingdom is a bit short.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your promise."

Keiko subconsciously wanted to hug Xu Cheng's arm, but her body suddenly froze, subconsciously tensing up, and the hairs all over her body stood up, like a small animal being stared at by a ferocious beast.

Moreover, there is more than one beast, and several women standing next to Xu Cheng are looking at her with "kind" eyes.

Although Keiko was very thick-skinned, she was just an ordinary person after all. Faced with the overwhelming aura, her whole body trembled and she couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

"Hey, don't run so fast."

At this time, another familiar voice sounded, and everyone turned to look and found that it was Uehara Ryo, who had been out of touch with the main force since the war started.

Uehara Ryo was in a state of embarrassment. He walked up to Keiko and said to her: "You are running so fast alone. What should you do if you encounter danger?"

Xu Cheng asked him curiously: "Uehara, do you know her?"

Uehara Ryo nodded: "She encountered danger on the road, and I rescued her. I heard she said she knew you, so we came together."

Xu Cheng looked at Keiko who looked embarrassed: "It turns out that Uehara is your savior, shouldn't you express your gratitude?"

He didn't want to get entangled with this shameless woman and sent her away quickly.

Keiko had no choice but to look at Kamihara Ryo with a sullen face: "Thank you for saving me. I can't repay you now. I can only repay you in the next life."

Uehara Ryo joked: "Isn't this the time to say I'm committed to you?"

Keiko's expression became serious: "Please don't be so humble. You only want a woman to marry you after helping you once? What kind of Japanese grasshopper mentality is this? I really can't stand a man like you."

"Haha, I was just joking, don't mind."

Uehara smiled awkwardly, and then realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere: "Why are you all looking at me like this? What's wrong with me?"

Everyone put away their sympathetic eyes. Xu Cheng coughed and said to Hoshizaki Yukina: "Okay, let's send them back."

"Oh, I know that I have worked hard for a long time, so you have to make it up to me."

Hoshizaki Yukina blinked at Xu Cheng, said something that was easily misunderstood, and then started to get busy, using her abilities to send everyone back.

Xu Cheng was not in a hurry to go back, he still wanted to look for technical information on the gene editing project in the Tree of Life.

Although it has been collected once in the old Tree of Life, twelve years have passed and the technology of editing projects will definitely continue to move forward.

After asking Keiko, I learned that the database of the Tree of Life is built at the bottom of the black tower. There should be guards there, so just go there.

Xu Cheng walked alone through the square that had turned into a Syrian battle-damaged style, heading towards the black tower.

Halfway through, footsteps sounded from behind. Xu Cheng looked back and saw that it was Qiu Gongyue following him.

Xu Cheng was not surprised. The two hadn't seen each other for a long time. It would have been strange if she didn't catch up.

The two of them walked side by side, Xu Cheng turned to look at her profile: "How was your investigation in Osaka?"

"There is some progress."

Qiu Gongyue briefly told Xu Cheng what she had experienced in Osaka.

Originally, she thought she was just going to track down the whereabouts of her best friend, but she didn't expect that it would also involve the assassin's inheritance, and she would encounter many powerful enemies.

"enemy?"

Xu Cheng was a little surprised: "Are there other enemies besides the Celestials?"

Qiu Gongyue nodded: "I met an organization called the Chong Mysterious Society. It should not belong to the Celestial Clan. There are many powerful characters in it."

It's just that she doesn't know much about this Chong Mysterious Society. She has only fought with it a few times, and it's full of dangers.

Xu Cheng didn't expect that little Japan would have so many sleeping dragons and phoenix chicks. Under the noses of Yaoguang and Amaterasu, there were other mysterious forces hiding.

"How long do you plan to stay when you come back this time?"

"Two or three days."

Qiu Gongyue thought, two or three days was the limit of what she could squeeze out, and if she waited too long, the clues she had investigated before would be lost.

Xu Cheng didn't say much. He couldn't ask Qiu Gongyue not to track down the whereabouts of her best friend.

The hands of the two hanging by their sides occasionally touched, and Qiu Gongyue suddenly felt her hand tighten and be wrapped by a big warm hand.

Her body tensed up a little, but she immediately returned to normal, and she held Xu Cheng's hand in hers, intertwining their fingers.

Neither of them said a word, quietly feeling the feeling of the skin rubbing between their fingers.

Although they had already done more intimate things, this small interaction still gave both of them a clear feeling of accelerated heartbeats, just like a man and woman in first love.

Not long after, the two arrived inside the black tower.

Following Keiko's reminder, the two of them walked down the stairs. There were many closed doors along the way, but they could not stop them at all.

All the way to the deepest bottom of the black tower, in front of a closed metal door.

Qiu Gongyue let go of Xu Cheng's hand, held the handle of the samurai sword, jumped up from the ground, flashed her arm, and four bright sword lights shot out in a rectangular shape, completely cutting open the metal door.

Seeing Qiu Gongyue's appearance, Xu Cheng thought that she looked less and less like a killer.

He has evolved from a killer to a serious assassin, the kind who can directly activate unparalleled skills.

The opened door fell with a loud bang, and there were screams of exclamation one after another from inside, and at the same time, there were fierce gunshots.

Qiu Gongyue, who landed on the ground, shot straight in, waving her arms, and with a clanking sound, all the bullets fired at her were cut open.

Several heavily armed soldiers were easily killed by Qiu Gongyue who rushed up before they had time to switch magazines.

Xu Cheng came in from the outside and found a large group of people hiding in the database, most of them researchers.

Xu Cheng, who has sharp eyes, suddenly saw two familiar figures.

Sumitomo and Hiro were squeezing into the crowd with their heads lowered, followed by Koji Iwasaki, but the two of them soon felt their bodies rising into the air and falling to the ground with two thuds. They almost broke their waists, ouch.

call.

But when they saw Xu Cheng's face, they suddenly shrank back from shouting in pain, and they were sweating all over.

Qiu Gongyue asked curiously: "Who are these two people?"

Xu Cheng introduced with a smile: "Although they look like old sheep now, these two old guys are the behind-the-scenes leaders of the Sumitomo Zaibatsu and Mitsubishi Zaibatsu."

Akimiya Yue was a little surprised. For the Japanese, they may not know who the prime minister is, but they will definitely not know the two big chaebols, Mitsubishi and Sumitomo.

Iwasaki Koji's face was ashen. He never thought that even though the two of them escaped into the tree of life, they still could not escape the clutches of the Peace Messenger.

I never thought that Yao Guang, who had ruled Japan behind the scenes for so many years, would lose to Xu Cheng, a young man who suddenly appeared.

"The Jue of Extreme Chaos"

However, Sumitomo Kazuhiro was able to remain calm. He tried to get up from the ground, and then bowed slightly to Xu Cheng: "Congratulations on defeating Yaoguang and becoming the true ruler of this country."

Xu Cheng looked at him with interest: "Do you want to surrender to me?"

"That's right."

Sumitomo Kazuhiro said calmly: "As strong as Yaoguang, we also rely on the government and us to manage this country. This is not bragging, but a fact. It is impossible for you to have no time to deal with trivial matters personally, let alone alone."

Manage the entire country, but with our assistance, it is different. You can truly own the entire Japan and have supreme rights in this country. No one dares to disobey your orders."

Xu Cheng smiled and just listened to Sumitomo Kazuhiro's conversation.

As time went by, because Xu Cheng never gave feedback, Sumitomo Kazuhiro, who was confident at the beginning, gradually became nervous and felt dry.

His originally smooth speech became forced.

"Keep talking."

Xu Cheng smiled and said, "I'm listening."

Sumitomo Kazuhiro realized that the young man in front of him was not something he could handle, and he suddenly lost his words and confidence.

Of course Xu Cheng was not knocked unconscious by his ecstasy soup. Yaoguang was able to rule Japan behind the scenes because of the special relationship between the Celestials and the Americans.

If he also dreams of becoming the behind-the-scenes ruler of Japan, he is asking for trouble.

Sumitomo Kazuhiro wanted to save things one more time: "Of course, have you always wanted to be an enemy of the Japanese government and the chaebols? As long as we mediate, we can definitely eliminate the misunderstanding between the two sides and re-establish peace."

Xu Cheng nodded: "I really don't want to go against Japan all the time. It's too troublesome. It's time to make peace with them."

Sumitomo Kazuhiro's eyes showed joy.

Xu Cheng continued: "But what does it have to do with you? Do I need you to help me negotiate peace with the Japanese government?"

Koji Iwasaki on the side said hurriedly: "We represent Mitsubishi and Sumitomo..."

"Then what?"

Xu Cheng interrupted him: "If I kill you now, do you think your son will turn Mitsubishi against me in order to avenge you? Or will he immediately sever the father-son relationship with you in front of your grave?"

Koji Iwasaki's expression froze, and Sumitomo Kazuhiro next to him had a bitter look on his face.

That's right, as long as Xu Cheng expresses his willingness to negotiate, let alone killing them both, even if Xu Cheng kills their entire family, the Japanese government and other chaebols will probably clap their hands to show that the killing is good. They have long been displeased with them.

.

Seeing the two people speechless and with despair on their faces, Xu Cheng turned around and walked towards the database server.
