When he saw Hiromichi Shimazu, Otomo Hosotaka's expression became subtle, because he did not get the consent of the Shimadzu family before leading the investigation team into Tanegashima, and Tanegashima has always been owned by the Shimadzu family.
This core territory has long been recognized by the major forces in the island country. Therefore, unless it was a force hostile to the Shimazu family, no other force had sent an organized team to Tanegashima.
So at this time, Shimazu Hiromichi just showed an expression that was half-smiling, which made Otomo Hoshitaka feel uneasy, and he felt that the words "guilty conscience" were tailor-made for him.
"Sit down, brother Xitaka. It has been several years since we last met. I didn't expect that we would meet here at this time." Shimazu Hiromichi said with a smile.
A smile hides a knife.
Liu Xing and others sat aside, drinking tea and eating snacks, looking at Shimazu Hiromichi and Otomo Shitaka with great interest, ready to stand up and start a fight if they disagreed.
After all, Liu Xing and others are considered mercenaries of the Shimadzu family at this time, so Liu Xing and others must be on the side of Shimadzu Hiromichi.
"Uh, yes, it's true that we haven't seen each other for a long time."
Otomo Hosotaka pretended to be confused while pretending to understand, and quickly changed the subject: "So what exactly is happening on Tanegashima now? And why do friends from Hyakki Island come here?"
Although Gu Muming stays in Hyakki Island all year round, because Hyakki Island has never given up returning to the island country, it has set up offices in major cities in the island country, and this has also been supported by the major forces in the island country.
Acquiesce, after all, in terms of combat effectiveness, Hyakki Island is undoubtedly the most powerful existence in the island country. Therefore, as long as Hyakki Island does not deliberately cause trouble, then the major forces in the island country will turn a blind eye to Hyakki Island's office.
One eye, so Gu Muming would receive news from various offices every now and then, and the news was all-encompassing, including even celebrity gossip and sports news.
No way, with the development of the times, the mythical creatures of Hyakki Island have inevitably developed some hobbies that they did not have before. For example, Shuten Doji likes online shopping because it can buy good wines from all over the world.
As for Ibaraki Doji, he is very interested in TV dramas, especially morning TV dramas.
Of course, there is a common hobby for the entire Hyakki Island, which is to collect various anime novels depicting them, such as "Inuyasha", "The Grandson of the Slippery Ghost" and so on. After all, these works are in a certain sense
It can be said to be their fan work.
However, a mythical creature like the Lord of Kuchiki, which is relatively low-key and whose reputation has not been spread among the people, is a little depressed because everyone else around him has been on TV, but he doesn't even have a name.
Ahem, back to the topic, Furugi Mei actually knew very well about the previous relationship between the Otomo family and the Shimadzu family, so he also understood how embarrassed Otomo Hoshitaka was at this time, so after thinking for a moment, Furumu Mei decided to help Otomo
Hosotaka rescued the siege. After all, in a sense, his own Hyakki Island was the same as Otomo Hositaka, who sent troops into Tanegashima without the permission of the Shimadzu family.
Therefore, Furugi Mei felt that it was necessary to win over Otomo Seitaka and let Otomo Seitaka stand on his side, so as to ensure that Shimazu Hiromichi would not cause trouble for him before Tanegashima was relieved... As for being able to leave Seed Island
When they arrived at the island, Furugi Mei would definitely lead the team back to Hyakki Island as soon as possible. Even if the Shimazu family wanted to talk about something, they would not be able to come to Hyakki Island.
Ever since, Gu Muming once again told the whole story about the current situation.
"Junlan Consulting Company? I seem to have heard of this company too, because this company also planned to open a branch on the site of our Dayou home. However, the address they chose was somewhat sensitive, and it happened to be at the core of our Dayou home.
Area, except for ordinary people who don’t know the truth, our Dayou family will not let anyone else live in that area, so we tried to find a way to let this company leave."
Otomo Xitaka closed his eyes and thought for a while, then continued: "The composition of this company is very strange, so our Otomo family went to check it out and found that the legal representative of this company had died long ago, and based on that person's
According to the family members, on the first day after the death of the legal representative of Junlan Consulting Company, someone came to the company to package and purchase. It was obvious that this group of people had been prepared and wanted to use this company to expand the island country;
During the subsequent investigation, we discovered another problem, that is, Junlan Consulting Company helped more than 30 people obtain island nationality by recruiting overseas employees."
"Oh, it seems that the foreign members of this mysterious organization entered the island country in this way, and they also have official identities. It is not easy for us to find them now. After all, for such a powerful mysterious organization,
It's not easy to change your face or something." Shimazu Hiromichi said with a frown.
"Don't think about it. We at Hyakki Island have mobilized all available information channels, but there is no way to determine where the people with the serial numbers are now. We haven't even found out the aliases they used, so I am here.
We led the team to carry out this attack mission, but it turned out that our Hyakki Island still underestimated the enemy."
Gu Muming sighed and said seriously: "But those people are still on Tanegashima, so we still have a chance to catch them and dig out more information from them..."
Before Furugi Mei finished speaking, Otomo Shitaka couldn't help but interrupt: "Oh? Mr. Furugi, do you have a way to leave Tanegashima?"
Which pot should not be opened?
There was a trace of anger on Gu Muming's original face, because he was kind enough to help Otomo Xilong out of the siege, but Otomo Xilong poked his sore spot with his backhand. Isn't this repaying kindness with evil?!
Liu Xing and others who were watching the excitement couldn't help but laugh, but considering Gu Muming's face, Liu Xing and others did not laugh out loud.
As for Shimazu Hiromichi, he also decided to rescue Furugi Mei at this time, "Brother Xitaka, didn't you lead a group of Iga ninjas into the forest to take a shortcut? Why did you arrive at Tanegashima Town later than us? And we are in
I think I heard gunshots on the road."
As soon as Shimazu Hiromichi said this, Otomo Hosotaka's expression became even more embarrassed, because he did not expect that Shimazu Hiromichi had followed him before, and even watched them enter the forest.
This is like going to someone else's house to steal something, but you didn't realize that the owner was following you. After watching you run into the toilet, you went to the living room to sit and turn on the TV, and then you were shocked in the toilet.
I wanted to run out, but found that the door was closed, so I had to shamelessly go to the living room to meet the host.
This is so embarrassing.
Otomo Hosotaka knew that if the situation were not urgent, Shimazu Hiromichi might not practice martial ethics. However, after this matter is over, the Shimadzu family will definitely go to the Otomo family for this, and the Otomo family will have to deal with it by then.
Only by paying a certain price can the Shimadzu family's anger be stabilized.
Thinking of this, Otomo Shitaka could already predict that when he returned home, he would most likely be scolded by his elders first, and then he would be assigned to work in some marginal enterprises.
Looking at Shimazu Hiromichi with sharp eyes, Otomo Hosotaka could only smile reluctantly and said: "Well, well, we found some abnormal marks on the roadside, so we went into the forest to investigate, and the result was...
Encountered a young black goat.”
Um?!
Liu Xing and others raised their eyebrows. They did not expect that Otomo Xilong really met the black goat cub. However, in the next second, Liu Xing and others began to suspect that Otomo Xilong was telling lies, because if they really
I met the black goat cub, how could it appear here with all its beard and tail at this time?
Facing the suspicious looks of Shimazu Hiromichi and others, Otomo Hoshitaka smiled and said: "Of course, that can't be a real black goat cub. After all, we all know the strength of the black goat cub, so we are here
After being frightened, we discovered that there was something wrong with this black goat cub. Its strength was really too weak, so we made up our minds to have a good fight with it. After paying a certain price, we
Only then did I realize that this black goat cub is actually a golem."
Golem?
"This is getting more and more interesting. I really didn't expect that the mysterious organization would dare to create a black goat cub golem. You must know that top mythical creatures like black goat cubs can sense whether they are in a certain area.
Some people try to describe their existence, especially when painting or sculpting models of them. After all, black goat babies have a certain divinity like us."
Gu Muming touched his chin, shook his head and said: "But I can confirm that there are nine out of ten black goat cubs on Tanegashima today, because I can sense whether there are people like me around me through the divine resonance.
existence, and I have never had a similar feeling after landing on Tanegashima, and this is also the strangest thing to me, because it is not easy to block the entire Tanegashima; of course, if someone deliberately hides himself and takes
If I use some to cover my breath, then there is nothing I can do."
"Yes, I remember that our Shimazu family tried to carve a statue of an ancient god before, but in the middle of carving, a lightning strike turned the statue into powder." Shimazu Hiromichi nodded and said.
"So don't try to challenge the authority of the gods."
Gu Muming looked up at the sky and said: "It seems that the background of this mysterious organization is bigger than we imagined, and why would they place a black goat cub golem in the forest with nothing to do? Is it just a simple desire?
Scare us? Buy yourself time?"
At this moment, Yin En suddenly said: "Wait a minute, we got a piece of information before, saying that someone from the Tanegashima family had contact with some mysterious people two days ago, and the mysterious person here may refer to that mysterious person.
Member of the organization, so?”
In order to save face for the Tanegashima family, Yin En did not say the word "traitor".
"Well, it is true that many people in our Tanegashima family have lost contact, but you also know that our Tanegashima family has several factions, so I am not sure which faction those traitors who are in contact with the mysterious man belong to, and I don't know either.
Where are they now? After all, in addition to Tanegashima Town, members of our Tanegashima family are also scattered all over Tanegashima." Tanegashima Huizhen said.
"How many members of the Tanegashima family are there in Tanegashima Town now?" Shimazu Hiromichi asked quickly.
"About 50%, because only 20 to 30% of our Tanegashima family members usually move around Tanegashima Town. Another place where a large number of family members may gather is the arsenal, and then the Tanegashima Space Center." Tanegashima Teru.
Zhen replied seriously.
"In that case, we will still have to worry about these traitors from the Tanegashima family deceiving us."
Furugi Mei said without politeness: "Now we have to consider the worst-case scenario. That is to say, there is a certain possibility that the members of the Tanegashima family we will meet outside Tanegashima Town have already taken refuge.
The traitor of that mysterious organization, so to be on the safe side, we’d better not trust what these people say, lest they lead them into a trap.”
Although the two brothers Shimazu Hiromichi and Tanegashima seemed to refute Gu Mu Mei's words, they could not find a reason to refute. After all, although Gu Mu Mei's words did not sound pleasant, they were quite reasonable.
reasonable.
At this moment, five people walked into the small courtyard. One of them knew at a glance that he was an Onmyoji, because he seemed to have come out of those Onmyoji-related game animations. After all, Onmyoji’s
The way he dresses is quite distinctive.
As for the four people next to this Onmyoji, there is no way to tell their origins from their appearance, because these people all chose camouflage uniforms.
When facing the real master Shimazu Hiromichi, everyone except the Onmyoji showed an embarrassed expression, because like Otomo Hoshitaka, they were also here to be "thieves".
You should follow the law and not blame everyone. Shimazu Hiromichi also saw that Furugi Mei was trying to win over Otomo Seitaka, so Shimazu Hiromichi did not want these people to be forced to side with Otomo Seiraka.
So Shimazu Hiromichi took a deep breath, stood up and said: "The situation is urgent, and our Shimazu family has not organized enough manpower to inquire about the situation on Tanegashima, so it would be great if you can help now, but I
I also believe that everyone will respect the status of our Shimazu family on Tanegashima, so I hope that you will no longer fight on your own."
These people also heard the implication of Shimazu Hiromichi's words - the previous matters can be wiped out, but they must obey my orders in the future.
