"He spoke very openly at the time, and it didn't seem like he was hiding any secrets."
"But..." Caesar changed the topic, "Sure enough, people cannot be judged by their appearance. Who would have thought that the glamorous former head of the eight Sheqi families would actually open a dirty research institute at the bottom of Genji Heavy Industries... No,
This is more desperate than hell."
"Yes, something filthier and more desperate than hell is hidden in the deepest part of Genji Heavy Industries." Genji said with emotion, "Lu Jun told me that he is the best actor."
"Lu Jun... I heard you mention it before, what is your relationship with Lu Mingfei?" Chu Zihang suddenly asked.
"Lu Jun and I are friends, very good friends." Yuan Zhennu smiled lightly.
"Back to the topic, Teacher Basara King's guess is correct. Masamune Tachibana is related to the Lenin, or the Lenin is his plan."
"You mean, Tachibana Masamune is the mastermind behind this?" Chu Zihang was a little surprised, "But if his purpose is to awaken God, then why did he send us to Gao Tianyuan with nuclear bombs?"
"It's very simple. He wanted to confirm that God had awakened and left Gao Tianyuan in advance." Yuan Zhinv said.
"..." Chu Zihang was silent for a while, "Have you ever tried to kill him? You are very powerful, and it doesn't seem difficult to assassinate him."
"Yes, why don't you try to kill him directly? Then all the problems will be solved." Caesar also agreed.
"It can't be killed." Yuan Zhennu shook her head, "He has never acted in his true form from beginning to end. I don't know where his true identity is hidden. To kill him, I have to wait until he takes the initiative to expose himself."
"real body?"
"It's not that I haven't tried to kill him, but every time I kill him, he will reappear the next day." Yuan Zhennu said quietly.
"Tachibana Masamune has many puppets. He usually controls these puppets to play different roles on various stages. No one is sure where his true identity is hidden."
"Then how can we determine his true hiding place?"
"Everything he does is to get the blood of the White King. When he really wants to divide the treasure of 'God'..."
"No matter how deep he hides, he will show up to personally obtain the power of God." Yuan Zhennu said coldly, "That's when we take action to kill him."
"Until then, we have to stand still?" Caesar frowned.
"Don't worry, Lu Jun has arranged everything."
"Okay, it does sound like that guy Lu Mingfei's style." Caesar shrugged.
"The first big gift I want to give you is an interpretation of the murals in Sheqiba's house." Yuan Jingnu took out a slender ebony tobacco bag inlaid with silver from her pocket and filled it with raw tobacco.
"Did you take the last mural?"
When he heard this, Yuan Zhisheng raised his eyes and asked.
"It's me, or the purpose of my trip is that mural."
"So, you have seen that mural before?" Caesar curiously picked up the raw tobacco and took a look, "I have never smoked such an old-fashioned pipe."
"Of course I have. I am the second son of the Yuan family and one of the few descendants of the three inner families. Before I was judged as a ghost, I was also fortunate enough to see those murals and listen to the priest's explanation."
"You remember the big painting painted in gold. The skeleton and the human formed the shape of a pair of fishes, and the skeleton handed a piece of bone into the hands of the human."
"Remember. That painting is very special. It's impossible for anyone who has seen it not to have an impression." Chu Zihang said.
"Then let's start from that painting and enter the distant ancient Japan..."
"The skeleton represents the dead White King. In Japanese mythology, its name is Izanami, the great mother goddess, while the human represents Izanagi, the ancestor of the White King's descendants."
"The White King removed a piece of bones from his own body and gave it to Izanagi. In the Sheki Hachi family, that piece of bones is called the 'Holy Bones'." Minamoto Girl lit the pipe and took a deep breath, exhaling a curl of white smoke.
Cigarette pouches are supposed to be something for old men to play with, but for a handsome man like him, there is an unexpected sense of beauty when he smokes them, and there is something enchanting in his looseness.
The smoke filled the air in all directions and never dispersed, as if a white curtain had wrapped around them.
"You must be curious about what the gods are sleeping in Gao Tianyuan? Of course there are no real gods in this world. The so-called gods and demons are things that humans cannot understand."
"There are all kinds of things in the world that are worshiped as gods, but the god in Gaotianyuan is just a sleeping withered bone, the withered bone of the White King." Yuan Jingnu said quietly.
"I'm afraid it's not as simple as a dead bone, right?" Chu Zihang said.
"Of course it's not that simple. Dragons are great creatures, and King Bai is one of the emperors among dragons. Even though it has been dead for tens of thousands of years, its blood and genes still remain in its withered bones."
"When the opportunity is right, the dead bones can form new embryos, and the White King will reappear in this world."
"Yes, that is the ultimate dangerous thing. It is both the bone of the devil and the bone of the god, depending on whether we regard the dragon as a god or a devil."
"It has been passed down from generation to generation in the eight families of Sheqi that after the White King is resurrected, he will give his blood to his descendants to help us evolve into pure-blooded dragons."
"How wonderful it is to be a dragon. It has a long life. Even if it dies, it can be resurrected by cocooning. It has power beyond human beings. It is born to be a king. It can enjoy and fight forever without sorrow." Yuan Zhennu said quietly.
.
"Then Tachibana Masamune's purpose...is to usurp the White King's body and become the new White King?" Caesar suddenly realized, and then took a deep breath.
"It has a really big appetite." Chu Zihang commented, "That's the white devil. Only the black devil can subdue it, but the black devil Nidhogg is dead. If the white king is resurrected, then it can't be conquered."
Victorious."
Yuan Zhisheng remained silent.
"Maybe, I don't know what that man is thinking. It would be nice if it was really that simple. I'm afraid there will be new variables." Yuan Zhennu sighed.
"Okay, let me continue."
"Fortunately, our ancestor Izanagi didn't think so. He was a human being who had direct contact with the White King. He knew how terrifying the so-called ultimate creatures were."
"So he sealed the holy remains in a well, selected the three best children from his descendants, and granted them the status of priests. This is the origin of the three inner families."
"The Genji family corresponds to Amaterasu, the Tachibana family corresponds to Tsukuyomi, and the Uesugi family corresponds to Susanoo."
"The heirs of the three major families are called Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi and Susanoo. 'Mite' is the honorific title for the priests. My brother is Amaterasu, a man who rules the world like the sun."
"Where is the well?" asked Caesar.
"It's called the Well of Hidden Corpses. It's somewhere outside Takamagahara, but no one knows its exact location. Izanagi doesn't want his descendants to find that well." Minamoto Chime paused.
, "But the holy corpse still woke up."
"It has not left Takamagahara. We have no way of knowing its form or the extent to which it has awakened. It is like a huge ghost wandering across the land of Japan."
"The situation is very serious." Chu Zihang said in a deep voice, his words were always to the point.
"Yes, the situation is serious." Yuan Zhennu blew out a puff of smoke with her eyes closed, "What I'm going to say next is the second big gift I'm going to give you."
"Do you still remember those corpse guards you met in Gao Tianyuan?"
"If I am not at my peak, it will probably be very difficult to solve the troublesome things," Chu Zihang said.
"They are also called 'hunters' because they only have the instinct of hunting, which is determined by the bloodthirsty genes of dragons."
"Those corpse guards were the ghosts of the Sheqi Eighth Family throughout the generations. The Eighth Sheqi Family used to be more cruel than they are now. Once a ghost is born among the blood descendants, they will be thrown into the Night Food Plain."
"It wasn't until modern times that Japan met the world and encountered cultural integration. Disagreements arose within the family. Eventually, this system was abandoned and ghosts were imprisoned in the mountains. Although they were all imprisoned, they had a chance of survival."
"The Food of the Night?" Caesar heard the new term, "What is that?"
"Yoroshihara is the opposite of Takamagahara, the city in the mirror. It is far less famous than Takamagahara, but it really exists."
"Our Japanese mythology says that Izanagi ordered Amaterasu to guard Takamagahara, and Susano'o to guard the sea frontier. The place he gave Tsukuyomi to manage is the Night Food Plain, which is the country of night, a world without light."
"Anyone who knows this myth will remember Takamagahara, because it is the residence of the gods and the place where the sun rises, but no one will care about the Night Food Plain because there is no mention of the Night Food Plain in the myth.
use."
Minamoto Jingnu was silent for a while, "But if all the gods live in Gao Tianyuan, then what lives in the lightless Night Food Plain?"
"The world of the dead..." Chu Zihang frowned.
In the field of alchemy, the Nibelungs are synonymous with the world of the dead, which contains endless alchemical raw materials.
"Yes, the so-called Food of the Night was originally the kingdom of the dead, that is, the Nibelungs."
"And it's the White King's Nibelung." Minamoto Girl said softly, "Tokyo has been slowly being corroded by the Night Food. The continuous heavy rains in the past few days are the best proof."
"The entire Tokyo...is covered by the Night Food?" Caesar suddenly shuddered. In the history of the secret party, such a large Nibelung has never been discovered.
"Yes, it's right here." Minamoto Chimei pointed to the ground with her pipe, "The most dangerous and prosperous place in Japan is right under your feet."
"What will be the consequences if the Night Food Plate is completely opened?" Chu Zihang's face was already extremely ugly.
"According to family history records, once the passage between the Night Food Plain and the human world is opened, without Tsukuyomi to guard it, the walking dead who crave flesh and blood and hate life will rush out like a swarm of locusts and flood the entire Tokyo." Source
The boy finally spoke.
"So we need Eriyi. Where did your people abduct my sister to?!"
"The devil knows." Caesar shrugged, "We have also lost contact with them... Damn, you shouldn't say this! Turtle, shut up, otherwise don't blame me for shooting you!"
He realized that he had let something slip. To cover up his embarrassment, Caesar turned around and teased Chu Zihang, "According to your girlfriend's temperament, it is entirely possible to go to Tokyo Disney for a few days at this time, right?
"
Chu Zihang was about to deny it subconsciously, but then he thought about it and said, "...it's true."
"It doesn't matter. With Mr. Lu here, your so-called sister is no longer indispensable." Yuan Zhennu showed a warm smile.
"You are so jealous." Caesar muttered, "Then the head of the Uesugi family and the turtle are not biological siblings, but you and him are biologically related. How can you be jealous? He is really the ultimate brother-controller."
"Haha." Yuan Zhennu laughed dryly, "Maybe."
"However, being awakened by Night Food is not the most terrifying thing. It is just the beginning."
"Now it is no longer as simple as awakening. It is being opened. Once the Food of the Night is truly opened, it will prove that someone has obtained the holy bones."
"That is to say, that old dog has probably obtained the holy remains of the White King?"
"Although this is bad news for us, there is a high probability that it is true." Goddess Minamoto said with a serious expression, "When the Night Food Plain is truly opened, it will be the time when he ascends the throne of the White King."
"We have to stop him before that happens."
"Okay, let's tell the third story, but before listening to the story, you two...and brother, you might as well take a look at this file first." Yuan Zhennu took out the file bag that she had prepared and handed it to the three of them.
.
In the file bag is a yellowed archive of the Academy of Sciences of the Third Reich. The person in the photo has a typical Russian face, handsome and upright.
"This man's name is Herzog, but today his name is Masamune Tachibana." Minamoto said.
"Although this is a human story, it is no less thrilling than Japanese mythology. Human beings are no less ferocious than dragons." Minamoto added a new piece of tobacco, "Decades ago, in the north of Siberia, in the Arctic Circle,
There was once an unnamed port that could only be reached by icebreakers..."
He calmly takes the listeners back to the cold winter of 1991, on the shores of the Arctic Ocean, on the chalky snowfields of Siberia, to the lonely fortress called Black Swan Port, with its keel, secret research institute, and orphanage, illuminating half of it.
Fire in the sky.
At first, Caesar and Chu Zihang interrupted him to ask a few questions, but gradually they fell silent, leaving only Yuan's childish voice, soft and low, as if a ghost who had personally experienced the tragedy was telling his own story.
previous life.
"In the end, Herzog killed Bondarev, took the ancient dragon embryo aboard the Lenin, and the giant ship sailed eastward, toward Japan, and finally sank into the Kingdom of God."
"The current crisis in Japan began twenty-one years ago, and the person who witnessed this crisis from beginning to end was Herzog, or Tachibana Masamune."
Minamoto's daughter finished telling the story. This story is indeed more frightening than Japanese mythology.
The horror of Izanagi belongs to ancient times, and the details are vague; while the details of the story of Black Swan Port are clear, and the time and place can be checked. It seems like it happened yesterday.
For a full minute, neither Caesar nor Chu Zihang spoke. It wasn't until the ashes from the cigar burned Caesar's fingers that he suddenly woke up from the story.
