Chapter 249 The speed of closing eyes (please vote for this chapter)
There is always no shortage of troublemakers in places like nightclubs, let alone low-class nightclubs in the chaotic and poor areas of New Tokyo like Edogawa Ward.
The seven or eight drunken men who walked towards us could be said to be here to drink away their sorrows tonight. The private company they established was originally to provide special services to the "high-class people" of Wano.
No matter whether it is outside the law or under the bottom line of morality, as long as the gods can think of it, there is nothing they can't do, and life can be considered prosperous.
But since the Adjudication Division issued a statement yesterday to withdraw from Wano Country, a large number of domestic chaebol capital in Wano Country sensed something was wrong and fled in advance.
Those heavenly beings who might have originally been "lower class people" in Shangjing but could enjoy the treatment of "upper class people" in Wano, seemed to have foreseen the coming storm, and their awareness of risk aversion caused those heavenly beings to pack up their belongings and run away overnight.
.
This immediately made them dumbfounded.
It didn't matter that the business went bad after Tianren ran away. The key point was that those guys had not settled the final payment for a year last year. At this moment, everyone's eyes suddenly darkened.
Looking for someone to collect a debt?
Who can they look for? Who do they dare to look for?
No, I went out to drink to drown my sorrows tonight, but I didn't expect that this nightclub that I frequented actually used some low-grade stuff to fool some of their brothers, and they got drunk.
Several people suddenly became angry!
It’s okay to be bullied and looked down upon by gods. Even people in nightclubs dare to look down on them. If gods can’t cure you, why can’t they cure you?
As soon as they got drunk, they had to slap the hostess who accidentally soiled their clothes.
Actually, this was nothing at all.
However, when they walked to the booth where Higashinohara and the three of them were drunk, the atmosphere in the nightclub suddenly changed in a very subtle way.
The other drinkers around were looking at the show frequently, but when they saw Charlie, the Tianhu girl, and Nishimaru Miria, their faces obviously showed some surprise and other unknown meanings.
The two booths were not far apart. The leading man walked up to the Higashinohara trio in a few steps and looked down at the Higashinohara trio who were sitting on the chairs and "didn't dare to move."
, the dopamine and endorphins in the brain stimulated by alcohol are secreted crazily, and a long-lost excitement actually arises.
I have been keeping my eyebrows down in front of those heavenly beings for a long time. For the first time, I straightened up and looked down at these three guys who were "trembling" with fear, feeling the fear I had brought to them.
It turns out this feeling is so wonderful.
"Hey! Boy!"
The man stood next to Higashinohara, casually raising his right hand and shaking it, and someone behind him smiled and handed a cigarette to him in a dignified manner.
Lower your head again,
Someone immediately ordered someone from the other side.
The flame of the cigarette butt flickered, and the greasy cheeks on both sides of the man's cheeks bulged slightly visible to the naked eye. He took a deep breath and leaned forward slightly to approach Higashinohara.
It's not hard to imagine what he will do next.
Several other men behind him also burst into laughter, seeming to have seen the immature boy in front of him choked and coughing by the thick smoke that the man exhaled, and almost burst into tears.
Everyone who was smiling was naturally about to sit down in the booth to complete this "table sharing", and someone's eyes fell on Xia Li.
Don't tell me, the furry little ears of this cat-eared girl are quite unique.
As for Nishimaru Miria
Someone just looked at it!
The next second, he suddenly took it back.
Because before the smoke ingested in the mouth of the bulging-cheeked man in front of them had time to spit out, a huge force suddenly hit his chin!
Without any warning, the man holding the cigarette in his hand fell backwards and fell to the ground. His lower jaw hit his upper jaw hard, blocking the puff of cigarette and filling it back into his throat.
Cough cough cough cough—!
A sharp coughing sound sounded.
The man who was sprawled on the ground suddenly opened his eyes wide, and you could almost see the blood inside, and let out a cough that seemed to make him cough out his lungs.
What's going on?
The seven or eight men following him froze as they tried to sit down.
Turning around, I found that the young man in the booth who had been "frightened stupidly" stood up at some point and was slowly sitting back in his seat. Their retinas only caught the other person shaking his head.
The movement of shaking the wrist.
"Sorry, there are children here, please stay away from smoking."
Under normal circumstances, the seven or eight men following behind would have known the gap between the two sides under Higashinohara's punch, which was so fast that they could hardly catch it.
But this group of people usually work for heavenly beings, and are used to using tiger skins as banners. In addition, the alcohol on their heads today made them feel angry.
It was okay to see this scene, but the tall and thin man who was holding a lighter to help light the cigarette immediately pointed at Higashinohara angrily, and shouted in a fierce and somewhat tongue-in-cheek tone:
"Asshole! Do you know who we are? We want to die."
Higashinohara couldn't help but frowned when he saw this.
This tongue-twisting tone reminded him of those delinquents in school, which was a bit out of character for someone who was a mess in society.
But before the man finished speaking, suddenly, someone next to him pulled his sleeve.
The man turned around and saw five or six men in black formal suits and leather shoes walking in the direction of the nightclub's door. After entering, his hawkish eyes instantly attracted the attention of countless people in the bar booths.
attention.
As a boss, Yoshihiro Ashida will naturally not scare his customers.
At this time, a very polite and gentle smile appeared on his face, and he bowed slightly towards everyone.
The waiter who had just ushered Higashinohara and others to sit down suddenly saw his eyes brighten up. He quickly walked up and bowed to say hello, explained the situation here, and pointed in the direction of Higashinohara and the others from time to time.
The latter just nodded slightly.
But after hearing that the daughter of one of the eldest brothers in the hall came to the nightclub, Yoshihiro Ashida couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, with a playful look on his face, and then led the four men in black behind him.
Walked through the corridor and came to the booth.
At this time, they noticed the group of people approaching, and the drunken men who were making trouble and trying to share the table suddenly woke up.
Obviously, they also know subconsciously who they really cannot mess with.
But the man on the ground who had just been punched by Higashinohara and "shut up and swallowed his cigarette" finally regained his composure during a violent cough that almost knocked out his lungs. His nose was covered with tears and his face was smeared with tears. At this time, his hands were trembling.
He was about to stand up while holding on to the ground, cursing and saying:
"Hit! Beat this bastard to death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of hands put on his shoulders from behind and said in a gentle tone, "Guest, this is a place for drinking. Please give me some respect and forget about tonight's affairs."
"Forget it?! Who do you think you are?!"
The moment the man finally stood up and turned his head, his eyes were filled with tears and he was suddenly shocked!
It turned out that Ashida Yoshishi behind him was admonishing others in a gentle tone, and at the same time, he was holding a bottle of champagne in his hand that he had picked up from the waiter's tray.
So the next second, when the drunk man's words came out, only a shadow of the wine bottle in Ashida Yoshishi's hand was left, and the bottle of champagne exploded on the man's skull like a firework.
Bang!
Amber wine and glass fragments flew together. The drunk man fell down again just as he stood up, and a bright red blood stain slowly lay under the yellow hair on his forehead.
Ashida Yoshishi threw away the broken wine bottle with only the neck left in his hand, took out a white handkerchief from his arms and wiped the wine on his hands, and said to himself, "Who am I? Haha,
Of course I'm not a good person."
After speaking, he snapped his fingers and said to the waiter behind him, "The money for this bottle of champagne will be recorded in those people's accounts. Remember to give them a discount."
"Yes!" the waiter said quickly.
After making such a big noise, several other drunken men also woke up instantly. Looking at the smiling Ashida Yoshishi in front of them, they couldn't help but shudder, recalling in their minds various rumors about this man who had been in jail several times.
In the past, there were heavenly beings behind us, so we could just let them pretend to be powerful.
Now that almost all the "high-class people" in New Tokyo have left, I'm afraid it's no secret. The man in front of me cannot possibly not know, otherwise he wouldn't commit such a heavy blow.
For a while, several drunk men were also silent.
Ashida Yoshishi waved his hand casually, and several people quickly bent down and dragged their companions lying on the ground away, not forgetting to turn back and bow before leaving.
Is this the dark side of New Tokyo?
Witnessing this scene from beginning to end, Higashinohara also showed a look of interest on his face. He suddenly reacted and looked back at Nishimaru Miria, worried that she was a little scared.
Unexpectedly, Nishimaru Miria's small fists were clenched tightly, and she stared excitedly at the man who was dragged out, with a look like "Wow cool wow cool" in her big bright eyes.
Ah this
Turning back to look at Charlie, this guy had juice in his mouth and looked like he was watching a show. He seemed completely unaware of the relationship between the scene in front of him and him.
At this moment, after casually solving the drunken and causing trouble incident, Ashida Yoshishi slowly walked to Higashinohara's three-person booth.
"Can we sit down and talk?"
Higashinohara raised his gaze and glanced at the man with a confident smile on his lips.
Aragaki Satoru showed him the photo. Although the man in front of him was different from the real person, he recognized the leader of the Ashida group from the moment he walked in.
Yoshihiro Ashida.
A notorious human trafficker in Edogawa Ward.
Remembering the scene where the champagne exploded on the skull of the drunk man just now, as fast as lightning, Higashinohara frowned slightly in silence.
In the file given by Aragaki Satoru, there seemed to be no mention that this man was an esper, at least not when he was arrested.
Could it be the ability that was awakened later?
Or was he hiding something before?
Higashinohara thinks it should be the latter to a large extent.
After all, ability users are too prominent among normal people, and Ashida Yoshishi in front of him, as a Yakuza and a master, cannot hide it at all.
But if the ability was awakened later, this inference seems unreliable.
The golden awakening period for human ability users is from 6 to 16 years old. After this age, their shape is basically finalized. After all, the cases of late bloomers are rare miracles.
These thoughts may sound chaotic, but they flashed through Higashinohara's mind in just an instant.
Faced with the words "Can we sit down and talk?" which seemed like a request but was in fact unquestionable, Higashinohara responded with a flat and decisive refusal.
"If you have anything to say, just stand and say it."
In an instant, the faces of several men in black behind Ashida Yoshishi were slightly angry.
The waiter who was following behind was dumbfounded for a moment, feeling that his brain was a bit out of control. Didn't he say that these boys were the children of the big boss in the hall and came to experience life?
But even if you are here to experience life, you shouldn't dare to speak in this tone to Ashida Yoshishi, the real talker of the Ashida group, right?
The guests in the nearby booths who were sipping wine and watching the theater couldn't help but be stunned when they heard the words of the boy who looked like a high school student of seventeen or eighteen years old.
I often drink in this nightclub and I can hear some anecdotes:
For example, if you're drunk, don't go to the dark alley where garbage is piled behind the nightclub, otherwise you might turn around and step on someone's severed arms and legs.
For a moment, the other booth guests around them once again looked at Higashinohara and the three of them with more or less sympathy.
However, at this time, Ashida Yoshishi did not act rashly. He just narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the strange trio in front of him.
Being able to engage in the business of human trafficking and survive to this day under the radar of the Metropolitan Police Department, Yoshihiro Ashida cannot be a brainless person.
On the contrary, his mind was so clear that it was terrifying.
After hearing what the waiter said, he knew that no one in the hall had children who had this kind of interest in experiencing life, and he immediately realized a problem.
Under normal circumstances, the two security guards at the door of the nightclub would never let them in.
Since the other party can walk in under the nose of the security guards without them noticing, then they are obviously not ordinary people.
only
He is not an ordinary person either.
As a super speed controller with talent sequence 68 and a fifth-level superpower user, Yoshihiro Ashida has a good future even if he doesn't work in this industry.
But he likes this business and the feeling of controlling young lives on a chessboard.
But the young man in front of him gave him an uncomfortable feeling.
"I have a few questions for you, and I'll leave after I finish them," Higashinohara said.
"Are you sure you can leave after asking this question?" Ashida Yoshishi raised his eyebrows.
Within two sentences, the smell of gunpowder in the air seemed to suddenly become stronger.
Even Charlie, who was sitting nearby, moved the furry ears on her head, showing a very alert look.
Higashinohara said calmly, "I don't have to worry about this anymore. The first question is, do you know about the shelter?"
When asking this question, Higashinohara glanced at Nishimaru Miria next to him. As expected, the little guy was staring at him with concentration on his face.
The air seemed to be quiet for a moment.
Ashida Yoshishi narrowed his eyes when he heard this and did not answer. He shook his head and suddenly sneered:
"This little brother, maybe you haven't figured out the current situation yet, or what kind of [Question and Answer] variety show do you think this is?"
Hearing Ashida Yoshihiro's words, the people following him couldn't help but burst into laughter, and the nervous air was suddenly filled with a happy atmosphere.
Higashinohara didn't go to see him.
Miria Nishimaru, who was sitting next to him, pulled his sleeves, stood on tiptoes under the seat and came over and whispered in Higashinohara's ear:
"Big brother, he knows the shelter."
Higashinohara nodded when he heard the words, then raised his head again, glanced at Ashida Yoshishi who was staring at him with a playful look on his face, and suddenly said, "Well, I already understand."
What is clear?
Ashida Yoshishi was stunned for a moment.
"Close your eyes."
Higashinohara suddenly continued for no reason.
This guy.
What the hell are you talking about?
Finally, Yoshihiro Ashida was a little tired of the seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy in front of him, who always looked indifferent to him!
Under the flickering lights of the nightclub, he shook his neck from side to side, and suddenly reached out and took down another bottle of champagne from the tray of the waiter who was walking by. He held it in his hand and shook it gently, looking around sideways.
Nohara chuckled and said to the waiter next to him:
"By the way, this bottle of champagne will also be charged to this guest's account. No discount is required, if you don't have the money."
As he said that, his eyes fell on Nishimaru Miria and Charlie
Suddenly, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
When those in the nearby booths looked over at the champagne swaying in Ashida Yoshishi's hand, they suddenly felt that the amber-colored liquid formed a huge whirlpool, and a terrifying urge to escape suddenly arose in their hearts.
However, at this moment, without warning, Ashida Yoshishi suddenly felt his hands loosen, and the light in front of his eyes dimmed inexplicably!
At this moment, he was so panicked that he used all his [super speed] in an instant!
The last image that could be captured in the retina was an ever-expanding amber champagne bottle, and the cold words that came from the ear with extremely clear clarity.
"Want me to drive it for you?"
The voice fell
Bang!
The amber wine mixed with scarlet blood exploded in front of Ashida Yoshishi's forehead with countless splashing fragments, and a beautiful rain fell around the booth.
Six times the instant of shadow x twice the time hourglass!
Quicksand Scales are twelve times faster!
Yoshihiro Ashida, who was able to reach the peak of the fifth-level super power at the age of nearly forty years, was indeed powerful enough in the market. It was a pity that he met Higashinohara, who was under the age of 18 but only just shy of the seventh-level power.
A monster with one kick.
Boom!
Ashida Yoshi's body hit the floor heavily, and his forehead was suddenly hit hard. He seemed to be in a trance for a moment, and several double images appeared in front of his eyes.
At this moment, he finally felt the true feelings of those who poured under his bottle.
Time returns to normal.
In an instant, an uncontrollable exclamation came from the nearby booths!
"Isn't it?!"
"That guy Ashida was actually..."
"Hiss! How is this possible?!"
"Shh! Keep your voice down!"
"."
On the floor, Yoshihiro Ashida, whose double vision finally disappeared, shook his wet head vigorously, and something unclear whether it was wine or liquid spilled to both sides, but there was a slight tingling sensation in his neck.
Ashida Yoshishi's eyes slowly moved downward.
But he found that the handsome, harmless-looking young man in front of him was holding a half-broken neck of a champagne bottle and holding it quietly under his neck.
His expression was the same as before, and he stared at him as if nothing had happened.
Yoshishi Ashida glanced at the booth behind Higashinohara from the corner of his eye. He was shocked to find that at some point, the pink and sculpted blond girl sitting next to Higashinohara had just closed her eyes, and her long eyelashes were shining under the light.
Trembling slightly.
It was only at this moment that he finally realized what Higashinohara meant when he said "close your eyes" just now.
I just realized it was too late.
What makes Ashida Yoshi even more disappointed is that this guy is too young. How could he be so fast?
At this moment, Higashinohara's calm voice came again.
"Now, let me ask you an answer,
Can you start over?"
Big chapter, please give me a monthly pass, lululu~
