Looking at the photos full of memories, Yuan Zhisheng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Great, dad is still the same dad. It seems that he is paranoid. He really can't distinguish the murderer who conducted experiments underground at Genji Heavy Industries.
I don't want to be associated with such a kind old man.
Yuan Zhisheng also took out a photo from his wallet, but it was a photo of him and his younger brother.
"Do you miss your childhood?" Tachibana Masamune said with some regret in his tone.
"No," Yuan Zhisheng's expression suddenly became serious, "I came back to confirm something."
"What happened?" Tachibana Masamune asked.
Yuan Zhisheng did not speak, but silently walked one hundred and twenty steps west along the school gate, then walked thirty-five steps south, and made a cross with a shovel in the open space.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Tachibana Masamune didn't continue to ask questions and just followed him silently.
"I suspect... Zhannu is still alive." Yuan Zhisheng finally spoke again. He dug out the soaked soil with a shovel in his hand, and dug down about half a meter deep. The shovel hit something hard.
"How is that possible!?" Masamune Tachibana's hand holding the umbrella couldn't help but tremble, as if huge fear exploded in his heart, "He has obviously..."
"I have buried it here with my own hands..." Yuan Zhisheng whispered, without stopping the movements of his hands. He gently dug away the soil on the ground, and a round cast iron piece was exposed on the ground. It was a
The manhole cover was locked with a cross-shaped iron chain, and the old-fashioned padlock had rusted into a piece of scrap metal.
He turned the lock over and the light illuminated the pattern on the lock's surface.
"I noticed some strange things when I attacked the Paradise Pavilion, so I wanted to come back and confirm," Yuan Zhisheng said. "Everything seems to be normal now. This lock is exactly the same as when I blocked this well many years ago.
Looks like it's never been opened."
"Gokukakukan?" Tachibana Masamune asked, "Do you suspect that the young girl is still alive and related to the fierce ghosts?"
"Yes," Yuan Zhisheng said in a deep voice, "the clues about the fierce ghosts have been cut off at the Paradise Pavilion, and I only came here to confirm based on guesswork..."
"Isn't there no problem now?"
Yuan Zhisheng shook his head slightly and did not answer.
He pulled out the spider cutter from his waist, split open the old rusty lock with a knife, pulled out the iron chain that locked the manhole cover from the hole, and opened the heavy manhole cover.
There were some things that he had to verify with his own eyes.
Yuan Zhisheng recalled the way Sakurai Kogure looked at him at that time. He was too familiar with that look. It was the look Sakurai looked at him.
He is not an idiot. He knows Sakura's feelings for him clearly, but the burden on him is too heavy and he cannot share these burdens with others.
When Sakurai Kogure saw him for the first time, she obviously recognized him as someone else, and he was someone she loved deeply.
Why did he admit his mistake? Was he in a daze, or was he similar to that person? Yuan Zhisheng thought about countless possibilities, and finally came to the possibility that his brother might still be alive.
This possibility is actually very slim, but he is unwilling to let go of this possibility. If you want to ask why, maybe it is regret?
He was more willing to believe that Sakurai Kogure recognized him as someone who looked very similar to him, and that person was his younger brother.
Nothing could be seen in the pitch-black well below, and a putrid and moist smell filled the air from the mouth of the well, making it difficult to breathe.
Yuan Zhisheng tied a light with a windbreaker belt and hung it into the well mouth, illuminating the water at the bottom of the well. The wastewater well was only four or five meters deep. Rainwater seeped through the soil and accumulated at the bottom of the well. The water was dark in color. I didn’t know about the stagnant water.
It had been settling for many years, and there was something vaguely blood-red floating on it, like a human figure.
"What can be so vivid and bright red after so many years of death?" Masamune Tachibana had a look of horror on his face. He looked at the things at the bottom of the well, a little shocked.
Yuan Zhisheng just took out the lighter with an expressionless face, lit it and let it fall freely. When the flame was about to touch the water, Yuan Zhisheng and Tachibana Masamune finally saw the blood-red thing clearly. It was a piece of blood.
The red hunting clothes were propped up at the bottom of the well with a wooden stick, as if a person was standing at the bottom of the well looking up at them.
The lighter fell into the water, but the flame did not go out, but jumped up fiercely. The entire wastewater well was burning fiercely. Shouyi seemed to dance in the flames. It raised its head and stared at the people who came back here like a ghost.
The two of them, the burning flame is like its anger, trying to burn them to ashes!
Masamune Tachibana threw away his umbrella and pulled Minamoto Shisheng back, but Minamoto Shisheng pushed him away. He stood quietly at the mouth of the well and stared at the hunting clothes burning in the flames, with a complicated look on his face.
"He's still alive..." Yuan Zhisheng said softly, "You must hate me very much, right?"
"It's not your fault. The child is a ghost. He can't control himself. The dragon's blood will gradually erode him from the inside out and turn him into the most terrifying deadpool!" Masamune Tachibana put his hand on Minamoto's child.
He said comfortingly on his shoulder, "This is a curse that has existed since the birth of the family. Everyone in the Sheqi Eighth Family has been prepared to draw swords on their compatriots since birth. This is the tragedy of our family and there is nothing we can do about it! You
He didn't do anything wrong at the time. He couldn't control himself. If you hadn't done that, more girls would have died in his hands. What else could you do except draw a knife at him?"
Gen Zhisheng gently pushed Tachibana Masamune's hand away and shook his head, "Dad, I'm not sad. I thought I was a friend of justice since I was a child, but when I grew up, I realized that justice has a price.
Yes, this is the price I have to pay. I have already understood and accepted all this..."
"Alas..." Tachibana Masamune sighed slightly, "I've made things difficult for you."
"There is nothing to be embarrassed about," Yuan Zhisheng said, "This is the responsibility I must bear as a parent. It has been decided from the day I took over your position."
He closed his eyes slightly, no longer recalling the past, "Now it seems that the clues have been connected again. The young girl is still alive...and he is probably the Dragon King or the King of the Fierce Ghosts. He can make the dragon and horse risk everything.
If you want to protect yourself, this is the only possibility."
"What are you going to do?" Tachibana Masamune asked.
"Go back." Yuan Zhisheng shook his head slightly, "He is now an extremely evil ghost, and I am the head of the eight Sheqi families. There is only one thing I can do..."
"I'm glad that you have such an awareness," Tachibana Masamune said with a hint of relief on his face, "But when the time comes...can you really do it? After all, you have to kill your beloved relatives twice, like this
The pain is too deep. Childish... I'm sorry, it's my useless father who makes you bear so much sorrow. Sometimes I wonder if I shouldn't train you to be a ghost slayer."
"No, Dad, you don't have to feel guilty." Yuan Zhisheng's face was expressionless, but his eyes showed determination, "I'm very glad that I am a ghost slayer, because my brother was born a very evil ghost. If
If I am not a ghost slayer...how can I stop him? As an elder brother, I have the responsibility to prevent him from making mistakes. Although I have regretted it, this is what I have to do. The first ghost I killed was my own
Brother, it is precisely because of him that I embarked on such a path, and now that he has appeared again, maybe it is time to end it. Although there is no way to change this fate, I want to... end it with my own hands!"
Yuan Zhisheng walked silently in the rain with a long knife in his hand. He left the town again, maybe he would never come back.
…
Dark clouds are gathering over the city, and heavy rain is coming.
"This damn weather, I'm afraid it won't stop, right?"
Xuanhao frowned as he looked at the rain outside the window. This rainy day has been going on for a long time. It was obviously abnormal, but it was not important. What was important was that he promised to let Xia Mi take Eri out when she woke up.
I played with her and then sent her home. How can I do it if it rains all day?
"Is there any way to make this rain stop?"
He turned his head and asked Su Enxi in front of the computer, hoping that this think tank could think of a solution.
"Boss, stop joking, do you think I am the Dragon King of the East China Sea? I can stop whenever I want?" Su Enxi complained as she ate potato chips, "The Dragon King of the East China Sea has to issue an order from the Jade Emperor to make clouds and rain.
!”
"If there really was a Jade Emperor, I would put a knife on his neck right now." Xuan Hao looked indifferent.
"But this rain is indeed a little unusual." Su Enxi said seriously for a rare moment, "Wait a minute, let me see..."
As she spoke, she took out the keyboard that was buried under the quilt and put her face close to the computer screen.
She got the results soon, but her face seemed a little nervous.
"What's going on?" Xuan Hao asked doubtfully. This was the first time he saw Su Enxi showing such a solemn expression.
"It's not good, boss, it seems like the rain won't stop..."
"What do you mean you can't stop?"
"Three weeks ago, the Meteorological Bureau submitted a formal report to the Chief Cabinet Secretary. The climate within Tokyo has undergone drastic changes, and the rainfall is almost seven times that of previous years!"
"Oh, is it a flood? Japan is going to be flooded? That's a good thing..." Xuan Hao originally thought, "What the hell! How can Eri go out like this?"
"No, no, no, boss, it's not a flood!" Su Enxi became more and more frightened as she spoke, "It's not just rain, the cherry blossom season in Japan has long passed, but now the cherry blossoms all over the city are still in full bloom, and the temperature rise is much slower than in previous years.
Too much, the cherry trees mistakenly thought it was early spring that was still suitable for blooming, and new flower buds grew after the flowers fell..."
"I don't understand what you're telling me." Xuan Hao interrupted Su Enxi. He was not a geologist, so why did he care about this?
"There are also frequent earthquakes, sea levels are rising, volcanoes are spewing thick smoke, and the ground is falling every day..." Su Enxi started packing her luggage as she spoke, "This is the rhythm of the end of the world, boss!"
"..." Xuan Hao was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and patted his head, "Oh, what did I think it was? That's it!"
"What?" Su Enxi was a little confused. She didn't know what happened to her boss suddenly.
"Isn't that god about to revive?" Xuan Hao shrugged and took the packed suitcase from Su Enxi's hand. "That should be the reason."
"Why does it feel like...you are talking about a trivial matter?" Su Enxi tried to take back the suitcase.
"What's the big deal?" Xuan Hao said with a nonchalant expression, "We'll talk about it later. Now Eriyi wants to go home. When she wakes up, we have to take her home first!"
"Boss, have you got your priorities wrong?" Su Enxi panicked, "Maybe Japan will sink!"
"So you're here to live now!" Xuan Hao pressed Su Enxi in front of the computer, "Hurry up and make Hui Liyi's travel plan. Everything will be easy to talk about when Hui Liyi is happy, understand?"
"Is her happiness directly related to whether Japan sinks or not?" Su Enxi thought to herself, "I think a better way to solve the problem is to let me take refuge in China! Or I can sort out the domestic attractions and we can take her with us.
Return to your country?”
Although she said this, Su Enxi's hands on the keyboard were indeed working honestly. She had no choice but to know this boss too well. Once she decided something, she would not be able to take it back. Instead of thinking about other things, it was better to speed up.
Plan to make Eriki happy, maybe Japan will be saved! If Japan is saved, won’t she be saved too!
"Don't worry about your work, you are not alone." Xuan Hao said, "Lu Mingfei and the others will stay and fight alongside you. Don't even think about slipping away."
"..."
See, is this human language? Su Enxi was typing on the keyboard frantically, and soon a document was printed out.
"Snapped--"
Su Enxi slapped the document on the table and gasped, but it exhausted her to death. Mmp, she never dreamed that her "Tianyan" would one day be used to organize tour guide information. It was simply overkill!
"Take it! Let the little ones get moving quickly, I want to go back to China! I don't want to stay in this ghost place for a moment anymore!" Su Enxi roared.
"Thank you for your hard work." Xuan Hao took the information and took a look at it with satisfaction, "Don't think about leaving alone, you have to be responsible for the command next."
"Huh?" Su Enxi looked aggrieved, "No such thing, boss!"
"I'm not good at commanding, so I can only rely on you." Xuan Hao said earnestly, "And I remember that I haven't assigned you a task for a long time. This is to prevent you from becoming a useless person. It's for your own good!"
"Alas..." Su Enxi sighed and sat back in front of the computer again, "Okay, but...are you sure these guys are reliable?"
She looked at the three teenagers sitting in rows in wooden barrels taking a bath on the surveillance screen, and her heart was unmoved.
"Hey Hey hey!"
Lu Mingfei and others were enjoying a Japanese bath in the bathroom when they were suddenly startled by the sound of a speaker in the corner.
"I wipe it!?" Lu Mingfei looked confused, "When did the speakers be installed here?"
"Not only are there speakers, but there are also surveillance cameras." Chu Zihang said calmly.
"..." Lu Mingfei was so frightened that he quickly covered his body, "Hell, are Japanese bathhouses so open? They even have surveillance cameras installed."
"Stop covering it up. Who wants to see your stuff?" A disdainful voice came from the loudspeaker, "Look at the two people next to you. How can you be as excited as you?"
"..." Lu Mingfei received a critical blow.
He looked left and right at Caesar and Chu Zihang beside him, wondering if these two guys still didn't understand the current situation? The person speaking was a woman!
"The men of the Gattuso family never hesitate to show their assets to women."
Caesar's indifferent look made Lu Mingfei want to slap him.
"Senior Brother Chu, you also..."
Chu Zihang stood up calmly. He knew from the beginning that there was surveillance here, so he wore a towel every time he took a bath.
"Am I the only one who doesn't know there is surveillance here?" Lu Mingfei felt very sad.
"Okay, now is not the time to talk about this, it's not important." The female voice on the speaker was a little impatient.
"Don't be anxious, ma'am. If you have anything to say, speak slowly." Caesar was still lying lazily in the barrel, with an indifferent look on his face, as if he had already lied down.
"I don't want to be anxious, but now is a time when people's lives are at stake. Maybe the whole of Japan will sink!" Su Enxi rubbed her head. She knew that the bodyguards hired by the boss were not reliable. "Hurry and clean them up."
Bring your equipment and gather at the door!"
"Hi, hi, hi..."
A helpless voice sounded in the bathroom.
"Alas...it's finally time to get to work."
Caesar stood up and stretched. Lu Mingfei found that this guy was talking arrogantly, but he was actually wearing swimming trunks! It was simply too inferior.
"Pack up your things and get to work. After we finish this job, we won't have to be cowherds in this damn place."
…
"Boss, are you sure these guys won't mess up?" Su Enxi turned off the monitoring screen.
"You actually dare to let them know that you are peeping, aren't you afraid of being beaten to death?" Xuan Hao covered his face helplessly. He wanted to ask how this girl managed to watch several big boys taking a bath so calmly, although it seemed true.
Nothing to see.
"Don't worry, there won't be any big problem."
Xuan Hao waved the document in his hand and pushed open the room and walked out.
"It won't be a big problem..." Su Enxi's mouth twitched, there is no one reliable, I should sneak away, right?
…
"Is there no news about Eri Yi?" Yuan Zhisheng's tone could not hide his anger. How many days has it been since Eri Yi was taken away? There is no news at all until now. When did the people of the Sheqi Eighth Family become so useless?
Really? There are so many people who can’t even find a girl.
"The airport, station, port, and subway have all been checked, and no trace of Miss Eriki has been found, and there are no suspicious persons moving around. It is initially judged that Miss Eriki is still somewhere in Tokyo, perhaps...
Locked up." Yasha said hesitantly.
"If Eriki's word spirit hadn't gone on a rampage and destroyed Tokyo, I would have given up..." Minamoto Zhisheng slowly clenched his fist and unclenched it.
No one can lock up Eriki. Her word spirit can cut through anything. There has been no movement for so long. There are only two possibilities. Either Eriki has been killed, or someone has controlled Eriki.
The bloodline is rampant.
Based on Yuan Zhisheng's understanding of Xuan Hao, he judged that it was impossible for this man to kill Eri Yi, because if he wanted to kill him, he would have been killed on the Xumizuo, so why take him away? There must be some secret for this man to take away Eri Yi!
Because this guy has long been plotting something against Eriki, and he figured it out the first time they met!
