Chapter four hundred and ninety-ninth big investigation
In the early morning, the sunlight shone slightly between the shadows of the wood and stone in the garden, and the warm light of the stone lamps in the houses was automatically extinguished, allowing the natural light to be smeared and embellished. For a moment, the garden seemed to be filled with a thin green mist, cold and quiet.
However, after all, it is already late spring, and the beginning of summer is less than two days away. In many people's minds, it is obvious that Sakamoto is getting hotter and hotter.
Tamagawa Eisuke knelt and sat on the balcony of the eaves, without saying a word, watching the full "Tian Shui" bamboo tube send the gurgling clear water into the shallow pool, and then returned to the right position with a "pop", startling the early birds to flutter.
Flying away. This is a classic Zen sketch, but his mind was like the bird that flew away, unable to calm down for a long time.
Beside him, his number one intelligence chief, Shigeru Takemoto, was reporting in a low voice: "So far, the Emerald Light's voyage plan remains unchanged, but many of the people who have made reservations and invitees have not yet been clarified; there are still people who have
The trip was canceled due to physical discomfort..."
Tamagawa Eisuke waved his hand: "The people who sailed from Sakai are just some cheering people. A hundred wealthy people from Sakai combined are no more than the president of the esper association. President Abner returned to Tancheng and decided not to participate in the auction.
…They can’t even find the target when they applaud.”
Takemoto Shigeru's voice was low: "Regarding this matter, it is now basically certain that something happened in Tancheng. The news is strictly blocked there. However, we learned from multiple information channels that about twenty hours ago, there was a strong earthquake near the volcanic island.
Energy reaction, suspected to be a superhuman level conflict."
"Including death."
"Death?" Takemoto Shigeru was surprised.
Tamagawa Eisuke sat upright to show his cautious attitude towards the current situation. Two minutes ago, he received the latest information from the Jade Appraisal Society: "On the volcanic island, the deputy secretary-general Gong Qi, who has been in seclusion for a long time, has been found dead.
Destroyed, no bones left.”
This news was beyond the scope of information that Takemoto Shigeru usually received and processed, and he didn't know how to react for a while. He vaguely guessed that Tamagawa Eisuke was probably also shocked by the news, and was in a state of turmoil, so he took the initiative to tell him about it.
this matter.
For this reason, Takemoto Shigeru automatically shut up, did not make any comments, and just treated himself as a mute.
"Rumors sometimes turn into facts. I have always been dubious about the legend about Gong Qi's discovery of a new dimension, but now it is almost certain that it is true, and the situation is expected to be more complicated. Now there is a guess: the discovery of a new dimension
It's not just Gong Qi who is facing this, there are other people who are also involved, taking the opportunity to give Gong Qi a slap in the face behind his back... I don't want to talk about these things, because it has nothing to do with us."
Tamagawa Eisuke pointed his eyes at Takemoto Shigeru, thinking that this intelligence chief could understand his feelings.
Takemoto Shigeru continued to play dumb.
"A pond under a typhoon will never be as smooth as a mirror."
Tamagawa Eisuke stared at the shallow puddle under the bamboo tube. There were no more ripples there, but the anxiety in his heart was still not gone: "The espers association has begun to trace the whereabouts of all extraordinary species in the world, including those of all forces.
The situation of force mobilization is as detailed as the dynamics of the solidified configuration of the abyss area..."
Takemoto Shigeru's eyelids twitched.
Thanks to "Professor Luo"'s lectures and dissemination of relevant concepts over the past few months, a person like him, who has some lack of cultivation, also has a conceptual understanding of the configuration system of the abyss. And the clearer it is, the more he understands it.
The tumultuous impact of a wave of action.
This is no longer just a fight between gods, but it has actually affected them. So Takemoto Shigeru still spoke:
"Large investigation?"
"Haha, it's a stupid way to come up with no clue at all. Not to mention the extraordinary species, every sect will be investigated... Sakagawa is no exception. Even across the Pacific Ocean, there is no way to avoid the disaster!"
Sakai City has the nickname of "City of All Gods", or it may be a mockery, but it is an indisputable fact that there are many religious groups here. In particular, some of them belong to the support of the Tamagawa family, and there are so many threads that it is not easy to sort them out.
easy.
Tamagawa Eisuke ordered: "Self-examination and self-clarification, we must also communicate with the Sakagawa branch and do related matters well. Nowadays, we are not afraid of doing things, but we are afraid that people will take the opportunity to cause trouble, so some things must be done up front."
"You mean..." Takemoto Shigeru heard what he meant and asked again specifically.
"Ah, when I received information from the Jade Appraisal Society, someone told me that we need to keep it calm and focus on the overall situation. According to the strategy of our president, we will go all out to attack the Broken Land. I agreed." Tamagawa.
Eisuke raised the corners of his mouth and his cheeks twitched, "But only two minutes later, the Amaterasu Order also called, requesting to take the lead in this investigation work and restore a clean and upright environment in Sakajo..."
At this point, Takemoto Shigeru finally understood the source of Tamagawa Eisuke's bad mood: "Are they going to harvest again?"
"Yes. When most people are subject to the overall situation and have to make sacrifices for it, there are some strong people who can ignore it and even use it in turn. Isn't the most willful guy still in Luo Yuandao's laboratory?
?I didn’t expect that the father was no less good.”
Takemoto Shigeru did not speak, but took a deep breath, recalling the pot of fresh soup that the Amaterasu sect used to use Sakagawa as the "pot" and many religious sects as ingredients. Now that it has been cut,
A new crop has grown again!
Tamagawa Eisuke's resentment is not just against the Amaterasu Order: "Everyone knows that Gong Qi has been in seclusion for half a year. When he was in seclusion, he was forced back from Xia City by the Iron Triangle because of the failure to kidnap Ronan; it involved the new position
On the other hand, it was also when the situation in Xia City was in chaos. At that time, Ronan was publishing the shocking 'cage' and 'configuration' theories. Now that something happened, Xia City's side, no, Ronan's side happened to be making big moves again. They
But I stayed out of it..."
At this point, Tamagawa Eisuke suddenly stopped talking and was startled.
Takemoto Shigeru's eyelids twitched again, feeling that this idea was very dangerous.
Fortunately, Tamagawa Eisuke waved his hand: "He had just left Xia City at that time, and even if he could fly... well, he couldn't even fly."
It seems very weird to explain it in such a serious way.
The two looked at each other again, and Tamagawa Eisuke ordered: "Go ahead and do it carefully."
"Hiyi."
Takemoto Shigeru stood up, took three steps back and turned around to leave. Only Tamagawa Eisuke was left on the verandah, staring at the garden that was gradually getting brighter, and was speechless.
Around the same time, Snake Yu woke up in a high-end residence on the south bank of Beishan Lake. She half-opened her eyes, flexed her fingers and calves, and slowly dredged her blood vessels. Speaking of which, she had been lying on the tatami in the living room for a week, and her body
Function inevitably declines, and it becomes difficult to get up for a while.
There are still finger-sized holes around her body, which are the traces of Mr. Sakaemon. This is just a wave. After this period, they really don't care about it. If she doesn't return to her soul in time,
, maybe it will turn into a rotting corpse.
"Well, I'm lucky."
Sheyu laughed at herself, stopped moving temporarily, and looked at the floating dust under the early morning sun, speechless. Because she lay here for a long time, it was difficult for the smart housekeeper to clean, and after a few days, a layer of dust accumulated on the tatami.
.Now my body is covered in dust, and my senses and psychology are very uncomfortable.
Sheyu was so pure that she immediately ordered: "Mr. Hideji, prepare the soup pool."
"I will follow your instructions, madam." The senior smart butler responded in a mature and experienced voice.
Suddenly, the room came alive.
A few minutes later, Sheyu finally managed to get up and went into the hot spring pool designed to resemble a garden to wash herself.
Surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors, there is an intermittent and continuous flowing space. In the center is a pool of warm water. You can lie naked in it and sink to the bottom of the pool. Your skin is in full contact with the water, and the subtle water pressure is different for each part of the body.
The feeling of heat, the temperature difference caused by the rippling waves of the pool, and even the natural suffocation... the physical feeling is so rich, delicate and real.
The low-level perceptions that I never cared about before, or even despised, now feel that they are not enough. I only experience them layer by layer, bit by bit.
The warm water in the pool had changed twice before Snake Yu stood up still unfinished. As she moved, a piece of the floor-to-ceiling glass window automatically turned into a mirror. She looked at the graceful and slender body in the mirror, glowing with the luster of life, and started to feel startled again.
Her fingertips unconsciously crossed her chest and touched her cheek. She then chanted a spell and peeled off a layer of mist-like veil. The camouflage effect of the hidden veil was lost, and her face in the mirror was similar but different from a few seconds ago. This is exactly what happened.
With his mirror-like eyes, his brows were slightly furrowed, his thoughts were not yet clearly recognized, but there was fog around him. The fuzzy fog was different from the water mist in the hot spring pool, showing a special gray matter.
Snake Yu's mind was awe-inspiring, regardless of the current state of being untied, he knelt down and threw himself on the ground.
However, the mist did not convey any information, only a negligible weight fell on her back, almost thinking it was an illusion. The fact, the unique touch, and the subtle gravity of the hidden veil at hand all clearly told the answer to the snake language
:
The veil of silence.
The thing she once dreamed of, and almost risked her life for, fell upon her like this.
At this moment, Snake Talking Heart was like water mist in a hot spring room, overflowing and empty, with an indescribable taste. She remained in the kneeling position for almost three minutes, and after confirming that there were no follow-up instructions, she turned around and pulled off the Silent Veil from her back.
Stand up.
It is natural to put two strands of fine yarn together, and they sense each other, but there is still a difference.
Snake Yu is not disappointed, this is reasonable. What's more, what does this kind of thing mean now!
"Mr. Hideji, news briefing. Also, prepare a car for me."
Sheyu came out of the hot spring room, calmed down for a moment, and activated the internal system of Wanling Sect through the smart butler, and information from all sources began to gather here.
The two tracks of the secular world and the inner world hardly intersect. Normally, this is the case. But the current situation is that there is a piece of news that, with different aspects, has become a hot topic in two fields at the same time:
"Flying Devil Fish."
"Humanoid Infrasonic Array."
Snake kept updating the recent information, and at the same time spent more energy on dressing up. Not long after, the radiant Ms. Kitayama Yukie appeared in the dressing mirror.
When the car arrived, Sheyu dressed up and went out.
Before leaving the house, the time was 9 o'clock on May 3, 2097. What's wonderful is that it was exactly twenty-four hours different from the earliest time when the news broke.
Whether the world knows it or not, twenty-four hours has turned everything upside down.
