Of course, if Mikage joins the battlefield, it will still be difficult for Liu Xing and others to defeat the New Anliu Gang.
But when it came to Mikageichi, Liu Xing couldn't help but ask: "By the way, is there any news about Mikageichi now? We still have to determine where he is staying in Nagoya, so that we can take the initiative."
"Not yet, but people who stayed near the auction house have determined that Mikage left with Hayato Oko. They are currently sitting and chatting in a cafe in the city center. It seems that Mikage's residence should have been arranged by Hayato Oko.
.”
Speaking of this, Zhang Jingxu also said with great confusion: "But I still don't understand why Yu Yingyi is interested in the remaining pages of "Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Sutra". Could it be that he also came into contact with something similar in another time and space?"
Spells? Or maybe he has realized that he has reached the end of his path as a warrior, so in order to improve himself, he can only practice magic and martial arts?"
"It's possible, but it still feels a bit unreliable. After all, Mikage only needs to inquire a little bit to know that the spells in the "Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Scripture" are more deceptive than the last, and they cannot be used by normal people at all.
, so I think Mikage may have other ideas about the "Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Sutra", such as using it as a bargaining chip in the transaction."
Speaking of this, Yin En suddenly put on a very serious expression, "How should I put it? There are quite a lot of "Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Sutra" in existence, and there are many language versions, so "Xuanjun Seven Chapters"
The Secret Scripture is very famous in our circle, and in a sense it can be used as a general equivalent. Therefore, the "Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Scripture" is currently the most circulated magic book on the market, and it is also the most popular for ordinary people.
It is possible to obtain magic books, so we can basically see a set of "Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Sutra" in the home of any rich man who is interested in occultism."
"However, although there are a lot of "Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Sutra", it is not easy to complete the set. The reason is that there are too many language versions of "Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Sutra", and among them, the original Chinese version is
The version is definitely the most valuable for collection, because the Chinese version of "Xuanjun's Seven Chapters Secret Sutra" was regarded as a thorn in the side of the Chinese Taoists not long after it was written. Therefore, most of the Chinese versions of "Xuanjun's Seven Chapters Secret Sutra"
"They were all burned to the ground."
As a member of the Huaxia Taoist Sect, Zhang Jingxu nodded and said: "Yes, not long after the "Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Scripture" was written in Huaxia, the Huaxia Taoist Sect discovered that such a magic book was circulating on the black market, and some people had begun to use "Xuanjun's Seven Chapters Secret Scripture"
The magic spells in "The Secret Sutra of Xuanjun's Seven Chapters" are...well, how should I put it? The reason why "The Secret Sutra of Xuanjun's Seven Chapters" spread in a short period of time was mainly because of the "Secret Sutra of Seven Chapters of Xuanjun"
The resurrection technique is recorded in it.”
"At the beginning, the side effects of the resurrection technique were not well known to everyone, so many people were shocked by the "Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Sutra", so the "Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Sutra" quickly spread throughout the world.
The whole of China, but what our Chinese Taoists value most is the magic related to Nyarlathotep recorded in the "Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Scripture", so our Chinese Taoism began to desperately destroy the "Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Scripture"
"Fortunately, at this time, the disadvantages of resurrection still emerge."
"Therefore, except for some people who went crazy and had to use resurrection techniques, the Chinese Taoist sects did not encounter much obstacles when they confiscated the "Xuanjun Seven Chapters", so the Chinese version of "Xuanjun Seven Chapters"
The "Secret Sutra of Seven Chapters of Xuanjun" soon became extinct, but before that, some "Secret Sutra of Xuanjun's Seven Chapters" had been circulated overseas, and this was beyond the control of the Chinese Taoist sects; therefore, the "Xuanjun Seven Chapters of Secret Sutra" on the market today
The Seven-Chapter Secret Sutra is mainly in English, and the Chinese version is the least."
As soon as Zhang Jingxu finished speaking, Yin En continued: "Yes, as the saying goes, prices are affected by market supply and demand. One set of the Chinese version of "The Seven Chapters of the Xuanjun" can be worth a hundred sets of the English version of "The Seven Chapters of the Xuanjun".
"Secret Book of Seven Chapters"; as for the remaining pages, even the most valuable one, that is, the page that records the communication with Nyarlathotep, is only worth one-tenth of the price of the entire set of "Secret Book of Seven Chapters of Xuanjun"
one..."
Before Yin En finished speaking, Gao Liumingyin said in surprise: "Wait a minute, this "Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Scripture" only has seven pages in total. How come the most valuable page is only worth one-tenth of the price of the whole set?
?This is a bit too outrageous, isn’t it?”
"This is indeed quite outrageous, because if the seven fragmentary pages of "Xuanjun's Seven Chapters Secret Sutra" were sold separately, the total value would be only about half of the price of the complete set."
Yin En shrugged and said with a smile: "But this is normal. The reason is because the collection value of "Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Scripture" has far exceeded its practical value. It is like an antique tea set. If
If there is only a single teacup or teapot, its value will definitely be greatly reduced. After all, in the collection world, sometimes one plus one equals three, or even equals five."
"There is a saying that it is true that complete sets of antiques are more valuable for collection."
Ding Kun looked at Yin En and continued: "So Yin En, what you are saying is that the reason why Yu Yingyi bought the fragment of the "Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Sutra" was actually to give or sell it to someone who wanted to
Who wants this fragment of page?"
Yin En nodded without hesitation and said: "Yes, as far as I know, many people are buying the remaining pages of "Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Scripture" because they all want to collect the remaining pages in their hands.
into a set, this is a bit like a collectible card game. Different scraps are divided into SSR or N cards due to their degree of cherishment; however, this collectible card game has not drawn a new card in recent years.
So players can only exchange or buy known cards."
"As you can imagine, the most cherished SSR cards are naturally kept by players in their own hands. Therefore, in so many years, I have not heard of any players who can get a new set. After all, unless it is a certain player
I quit playing for some reason, otherwise there would only be a bunch of N cards in the card pool constantly circulating; so I guess Mikage Yi bought this "Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Scripture" just to please someone.
The remaining pages.”
Speaking of this, Yin En still couldn't help complaining: "But I still don't understand how those people would think of treating "Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Sutra" as a general equivalent. I heard it from Sawada Yain some time ago.
There is news that there is a secret church in Europa that is planning to sell a copy of "The King in Yellow", and the external quotation is three sets of English versions of "Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Scripture". Of course, this is not true.
I want three sets of English versions of "Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Sutra"."
"That's because the "Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Scripture" has a relatively large amount of existence, and it itself has a certain value, so it is normal to be selected as the price unit. However, we should be able to follow this clue to determine Yuying
No matter who you plan to trade with."
Just when Zhang Jingxu was about to say something more, Watanabe Ryusei suddenly walked into the cafeteria.
The moment he saw Watanabe Meteor, Liu Xing had to admit that his heartbeat skipped a beat. After all, Mr. Onikawa's whereabouts were unknown, and he was Mr. Onikawa's guarantor, so Mr. Onikawa
If something really happened, then Liu Xing felt that it was really hard for him to explain to Ryusei Watanabe... and it sounded weird to give him an explanation himself.
But fortunately, Watanabe Ryusei is not here for Kogawa Koo.
"Konoe Ryo is missing."
The news brought by Ryusei Watanabe shocked everyone in the cafeteria. "Nobita Nobita, who was responsible for monitoring Konoe Ryo and the workers at the former natural gas tanking plant, sent me a text message. He said that he had sent me a late-night snack just now.
When I checked the dormitory on my behalf, I found that Konoe Ryo was missing during dinner, and Konoe Ryo disappeared after entering the dormitory building. You must know that the surveillance in the dormitory building is 360
There are no blind spots...Of course, this surveillance system can also deal with ordinary people."
"It seems that Mr. Konoe Ryo's skills are even better than I thought."
Zhang Jingxu frowned and continued: "I specially arranged a suite for Konoe Ryo. This suite is one floor away from other people's rooms, and the rooms on the middle floor are all locked, but in the near
Various monitoring devices are installed downstairs in Wei Liang's room to ensure that all sounds made by Wei Liang in the room will be recorded."
"I have arranged for someone to check the recording. At present, I can only confirm that Konoe Ryo stopped making any noise around nine o'clock. The previous recording showed that he had already washed up and went to bed..."
Before Watanabe Ryusei finished speaking, Liu Xing suddenly remembered something, "Wait a minute, Zhang Jingxu, didn't you say that Konoe Ryo went home on leave? Why is he showing up in the dormitory again now?"
"Well, I forgot to mention that Konoe Ryo did ask for leave, but during dinner time he went directly to the new work place we arranged for the old employees of the natural gas filling plant, so I thought Konoe Ryo was
I brought something home from the factory and hid it. After I hid it, I went straight back to work, so I didn’t pay too much attention to it. Anyway, nothing important happened so far.”
Zhang Jingxu thought for a while and continued: "Judging from the current situation, Konoe Ryo should have disappeared voluntarily, so what is he trying to do? If he wanted to disappear, why didn't he come to Xinxing at the beginning?
site?"
"Bringing the blame."
Liu Xing said without thinking: "If Konoe Ryo disappeared at home, then this matter has nothing to do with us. After all, we don't even know where he lives, but if Konoe Ryo is in our territory
If he goes missing, then we have to bear a certain responsibility, unless we can produce evidence to prove that Konoe Ryo left on his own, so I estimate that tomorrow, someone may come to ask us where Konoe Ryo is.
If we can't explain why, then they are likely to cause trouble for us."
"What trouble can I cause?"
Ding Kun said with some confusion: "In the eyes of ordinary people, this is just a mysterious disappearance, and there are many incidents like this that can be called divine disappearance in the island country, so the worst we can do is stop the new business there.
, let those workers go back and take paid leave, and we won’t be short of money anyway.”
"No, it's not the workers we need to worry about, but Konoe Ryo's brother."
Liu Xing shook his head and said: "The main reason why Konoe Ryo is like this is because he blocked the disaster for his brother, so Konoe Ryo's brother, who is now the head of the Konoe family, has no respect for Konoe Ryo.
They must be grateful, so Ryo Konoe's sudden disappearance is likely to attract the attention of the Konoe family, who will most likely come to us to ask for an explanation."
"If it's the Konoe family, it would be really troublesome to deal with it."
Watanabe Ryusei sighed and said helplessly: "Sometimes, missing people are more troublesome than dead people, because their families will have their last hope for them, even if this hope is very slim... If
Konoe Ryo died on our territory, so the most we can do is compensate some things to the Konoe family, but now Konoe Ryo is missing, then we are a little embarrassed."
"If the Konoe family comes to look for us, then we can only say that we will help them find it together. Of course, we can also tell the truth. Anyway, we are from the samurai faction, and we don't need to be too polite with the Konoe family, which belongs to the public faction.
.”
Zhang Wenbing shook his head and said, "By the way, how are the others doing now?"
"everything is normal."
Watanabe Ryusei said seriously: "I have sent people to conduct an inventory, and I can confirm that there are no problems with the others. They are all doing their own things in their own houses now, and I have also arranged more people to patrol.
But for Konoe Ryo, I just asked Nobi Nobita to check the situation nearby, and gave up after confirming that there were no clues nearby, because judging from the current situation, Konoe Ryo should have run far away."
"Then is there anyone to help Konoe Ryo?"
Watanabe Ryusei glanced at Alice who was speaking, shook his head and said: "No, the nearby surveillance facilities have basically been hacked by my men, so Ryo Konoe is not found in the surveillance cameras within a kilometer radius.
, and at the same time, no one or vehicle was seen alive who was suspected of coming to pick up Konoe Ryo.”
"Then Konoe Ryo is quite powerful. He can escape so far without anyone noticing. Does he also have a sword like the Shimadzu family in his hand?"
Liu Xing thought of the sword that Shimazu Nagano had used. Just when he was about to say something, an idea suddenly struck him.
"Wait a minute, judging from those urban legends about Konoe Ryo, his ability is actually somewhat similar to the Shimazu family's sword, which is to cut out a period of time and space!"
