Having said that, Liu Xing is still thinking about whether this Edo father is the real Ii Naoraku.
First of all, Liu Xing reviewed Ii Naole's past - because he wanted to marry a girl who was not from the right family, he chose to leave the Ii family and seemingly left home cleanly.
Therefore, Naoraku Ii, who did not have much money, wanted to get rid of possible surveillance with his wife, so it was a good choice to settle on Tanegashima, a remote island. After all, Tanegashima at that time was a remote place where he wanted nothing but nothing.
area, and as the Shimadzu family's back garden, the Ii family couldn't just send people over.
Then there are the children of Father Edo. They all left Tanegashima suddenly and never came back... If it is not the script of "a kind father and a filial son", then the children of Father Edo must be because of
I had to leave Tanegashima for some reason, and I could never set foot on Tanegashima again.
So Liu Xing suddenly thought of a possibility, that is, the Ii family knew that Father Edo lived on Tanegashima and had several children, so the Ii family sent people to take away these children. After all, they
It is said that members of the Ii family cannot live outside the home.
For these big families in the island country, bloodline is a very important thing, so as a direct member of the Ii family, Naoraku Ii has been said to have left home cleanly, but the blood of the Ii family still flows in his children.
, in this way, Ii Naoraku's children can logically inherit the family business, and their ranking will not be too low.
Of course, more importantly, if an ambitious person wants to make a few puppets to act as a front, then these children of Ii Naoraku are the best choice, because they have no foundation in the Ii family, so they have to listen to those who
The order of the careerist.
Therefore, it is very likely that Father Edo's children were brought back to the Ii family, and they may lose in the competition for the new head of the family, and then either disappear into ashes or disappear from everyone.
As for why Father Edo opened a supermarket, Liu Xing estimated that his idea was to use the supermarket as a medium to establish contact with more people. After all, if he was just an ordinary Tanegashima resident like before, his interpersonal
His circle is just a nearby neighbor, but when he became a supermarket owner, he not only became old acquaintances with customers, but also became friends with the new generation of young people.
In this way, if someone wants to disappear Edo Dad, then they have to consider the impact of doing so.
etc.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing looked at Kudo Ichiro and the other three, and suddenly realized that in the module they participated in, the possible enemy might not be here to target them, but to cause trouble for Father Edo.
Although Ii Naoraku has left the Ii family for many years, Ii Naoraku's departure is still a big black spot for the Ii family, so the Ii family may still take advantage of Tanegashima's isolation to send people to secretly solve the problem.
Ii Naoraku is an unstable factor.
Of course, all this must be based on the fact that Edo's father is the real Ii Naoraku, and if this is true, then Liu Xing will be even more curious about who the "Ii Naoraku" in Kagoshima City is.
Who? The Ii family sent someone to confirm that he was him.
One more thing, that is, what is in the storage room of the supermarket? Why doesn’t Father Edo want outsiders to enter?
Maybe there's something from someone else in this storage room?
Liu Xing felt that before going to Tanegashima Space Center, he should find an opportunity to investigate this Edo father.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing stood up. When Kudo Ichiro and the others saw this, they also planned to stand up, but Liu Xing stopped them with his eyes.
Ever since, Liu Xing walked up to Father Edo alone and said: "Dad, I am an outsider who came to Tanegashima just a few days ago, because all my original clothes were buried in the ruins.
So I don’t have much money now..."
Before Liu Xing finished speaking, Father Edo smiled and said: "It's okay, you can eat and drink whatever you want in the supermarket. Anyway, old man, I don't care if this supermarket can make money, let alone everyone now
You can be considered a fallen person at the end of the world, so you don’t need to worry too much.”
Liu Xing nodded and said with a smile: "Dad, you are really a good person. When I return to Kagoshima City, I will definitely tell the Shimadzu family and ask them to help you more."
As Liu Xing spoke, he observed Father Edo's expression.
When Liu Xing said the three words "Shimadzu family", Liu Xing noticed that Father Edo frowned almost imperceptibly.
It seems that this Edo father is really not simple.
"Oh, I didn't expect you, little brother, to know people from the Shimazu family." Father Edo pretended to be surprised and said, "Then you must be a member of a big family, otherwise you wouldn't be able to get to know the Shimazu family.
After all, people like the big shots of the Shimadzu family are not from the same world as ordinary people like us."
Before Liu Xing could speak, Fujiwara Sho suddenly appeared and said: "Haha, young man, you probably know a senior wage earner from a company owned by the Shimadzu family, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be alone on Tanegashima now.
To live in such a state."
At this time, another teacher stood up and said: "Yes, everyone in the island country knows that Tanegashima is the back garden of the Shimadzu family. In order to build the space center, the government promised the Shimadzu family many benefits, such as tax exemption and so on.
, so if you really knew the members of the Shimazu family, you wouldn’t be like this now.”
Liu Xing smiled, shook his head and said, "Although I say I come from a small family - the Zetian family, but..."
This time Liu Xing didn't finish his words, and was interrupted by Edo Dad, "Huh? The Sawada family? Is it the Sawada family in Ziwu City?"
Liu Xing looked at Father Edo with a surprised look on his face, because Liu Xing did not expect that Father Edo actually knew about the Sawada family, and it seemed that he and the Sawada family had a history.
"That's right, it's the Zetian family. Dad, how do you know about my family? You must know that our Zetian family is just a small family in a corner, and only people in the surrounding area know about it." Liu Xing asked curiously.
.
Father Edo sighed, shook his head and said, "If it hadn't been for the help of your Sawada family, I might have died in Ziwu City long ago."
Father Edo looked around, pointed to the employee lounge and said, "Let's go in and have a good chat."
"Hmm?! You old guy, we have been friends for decades, do you still want to talk about this behind my back?" Fujiwara Sho said somewhat unhappily.
Father Edo shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's that I don't want to harm you. It's better that you don't know some things, so as not to be involved in unnecessary fights, unless you are willing to accompany me.
I'm going to die."
Hearing what Father Edo said, Fujiwara Sho shook his head and said, "Well, I really don't want to die with you, because I haven't lived enough."
Ever since, Liu Xing followed Father Edo into the staff lounge.
There are only a few cabinets in the employee lounge, with a set of tables and chairs in the middle.
After sitting down, Father Edo asked directly: "Do you recognize me?"
Liu Xing shook his head, then nodded and said, "I may know you, but I'm not sure if it's Mr. Mi-Ii Naole?"
Father Edo sighed, nodded and said, "Yes, it's Ii Naoraku, so did the Sawada family ask you to come to me? That's not right, the Sawada family hasn't contacted me for decades.
, and now I can’t help you, the Sawada family.”
"No, no, no, I came to Tanegashima because of other things. To put it simply, our Sawada family has become a partner with the Shimadzu family, so after Tanegashima lost contact with the outside world this time, our Sawada family
We organized a joint investigation team with the Shimadzu family to land on Tanegashima, but for some reason I got separated from the others. As for why I know Mr. Ii, it’s because I saw someone who looks very similar to you.
man, and he now claims that he is Ii Naoraku."
Hearing what Liu Xing said, Ii Naoraku also had a question mark, "What, there is someone who looks exactly like me? And he calls himself Naoraku Ii? What is going on? I don't have any twin brothers."
Without even making a judgment, Liu Xing could tell from Ii Naoraku's expression that he really didn't know the background of "Ii Naoraku" in Kagoshima City.
"Then this is a bit strange. That Ii Naoraku can do a lot of bad things through your identity, and now he has become the nominal leader of a secret church, and there may be an old ruler behind him.
, so he has now become a time bomb, being monitored by the Shimadzu family and other families." Liu Xing told the truth.
Ii Naoraku closed his eyes with a puzzled look on his face, and he seemed to be thinking about the origin of this "Ii Naoraku".
After a while, Ii Naoraku slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, that's it! I know how that impostor came here. Does this matter have anything to do with your Sawada family?"
As soon as Jing Yi Naole said this, Liu Xing's expression became confused.
"The thing is like this, you should know that I was trapped by love, so I chose to leave Jingyi's house and elope with my wife. At the beginning, we only went to Ziwu City, but because we were penniless, we had to stay and work.
, and it was then that I met the previous head of your Sawada family, Sawada Katsura. After Sawada Katsura learned about my situation, he left me and my wife behind, because at that time, the Ii family was chasing after me.
The soldiers also came over."
Ii Naoraku took out a wallet from his pocket, and the photo in the wallet was a photo of Ii Naoraku and his wife and Sawada Katsura, and Sawada Katsura did look somewhat similar to Sawada Yaon.
"You should know that there is an ancient ruins on the outskirts of Ziwu City. It seems to be called the Kingdom of Tindalos. My wife and I were hiding there at the time. Although the accommodation was a bit simple, it was good to have food and drink.
; Then one day, I had nothing to do and entered a pit, intending to go in and see what kind of cultural relics there were in the ruins of the Kingdom of Tindalos. You know, when I was still in the Ii family, my dream was to become an archaeologist.
Home."
When he heard the word "archaeologist", Liu Xing knew that Naole Ii had taken a narrow path, because archaeologists are a high-risk profession in the Cthulhu Running Group game hall. After all, ghosts
Knowing what might be hidden in a so-called ancient ruins...
Sure enough, after Ii Naoraku entered the ruins of the Kingdom of Tindaros, he found a sapphire embedded in half of a scepter. Therefore, Ii Naoraku originally planned to give this sapphire to the Sawada family to represent himself.
Thanks to the Sawada family, when I Naoraku picked up the half of the scepter, he felt like the world was spinning, and then he fainted without any surprise.
When Ii Naoraku woke up again, it was already a month later. Neither Sawada Katsura nor his wife said anything more. They only said that he fell into a coma in the ruins and then lay in the hospital bed for a month.
time, but after various examinations, it can be determined that his physical condition is not bad, but he is slightly malnourished.
But during that time, Ii Naoraku always felt a sense of loss, as if he had lost something, and his whole person was a little incomplete. However, his wife and Sawada Kei both said that this was his illusion.
That's all, so Ii Naoley gradually relaxed his mind and didn't think about anything more.
Later, after confirming that the pursuers of the Ii family had gone far, Ii Naoraku came to Tanegashima to settle down with his wife and the travel expenses provided by Sawada Katsura. Over the years, Ii Naoraku had frequently exchanged letters with Sawada Katsura.
, until Sawada Kei passed away due to illness.
"I also went to the hospital for a checkup some time ago and found that all my organs were slightly smaller than normal people, but it didn't affect my life, so I didn't pay too much attention to it at the time; but now that I think about it carefully, I
I very much suspect that the Ii Naoraku you are talking about is a clone that separated from me after touching the scepter and is not under my control, and he may have taken away the 'evil' from me!"
Ii Naole said seriously: "To be honest, I am not a good person. I did some bad things when I was in the Ii family. And I didn't think it was a big deal at the time. After all, I am a direct descendant of the Ii family.
member; but after waking up, I began to feel that I should be a good person, so I can be sure that I have not done a bad thing in so many years... Of course, if it was done with good intentions, it would be another matter, after all
