Chapter 17: Waiting
The izakaya that Li Kit entered was the kind that can be found everywhere in the East. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info offers some alcoholic beverages and snacks that sell both skewers and fried dishes.
"The yakitori here tastes good. "Lee Kit and Peter sat at the bar of the izakaya like real tourists.
Eating the food provided by the boss, Li Jie's seemingly completely relaxed attitude made Peter next to him a little restless.
"Aren't we looking for someone?" said Peter to Li Jie in a whisper.
"But can you have some dinner first? I don't really like the food served in the company in the evening. Li Jie motioned for Peter to eat in peace.
"There is too much raw and cold food. Eating too much is prone to gastroenteritis. ”
The dinner provided by the Osborne Group was not bad, but it was of a high standard. But because of the problem of Oriental eating habits. So in the whole dinner set.
The proportion of raw food and cold food is too high, and the taste of Oriental food is generally light, Li Kit can understand what makes this food delicious.
But it doesn't mean that he will like this kind of food very much, Li Jie still prefers hot food, such as the yakitori he eats now.
This is not the United States, where there is no bill prohibiting alcohol under the age of twenty-one. Li Jie ordered himself a glass of plum wine.
The taste of this sake is also on the light side, with a light aroma and the sweet and sour taste of plums. It is eaten with a slightly greasy fried food, which complements each other perfectly.
Peter didn't drink a drop of wine, so he asked for a cup of oolong tea and ate it slowly.
The two of them ate very slowly, chatting about some things while eating. It wasn't until there were few customers in the store that Li Jie waved his hand to the boss who had been in charge of the barbecue.
The owner thought that the two guests needed other dishes, so they came over. But Li Jie took out a small seal and handed it to the boss to take a look.
This boss, who has a serious face and looks very much like the image of a cold uncle in the Japanese animation, took the seal and observed it for a while before nodding to Li Jie.
At the same time, a guy in charge of the gun chamber was also called over by the boss.
The boss returned the seal to Li Jie, and at the same time motioned for Li Jie and the two to follow the guy. Two foreign tourists entered the interior of the shop as if they were being led by a man looking for a bathroom.
In the corner of the stairwell, an inconspicuous corner. The man twisted a concealed knob slightly, and a low door hidden under the stairwell was opened.
Li Jie and Peter glanced at each other, and stepped through the low door under the guidance of their fellows.
This humble shop is one of the bases of the Innocence Society in Osaka. This is because this is the East, and Osaka is the core power of the Tewakai.
Innocence must be cautious in all its actions here, otherwise it is very likely that it will be destroyed.
And the person in charge here is the eldest disciple of Sticksuo. A middle-aged man named Panshi.
He got started earlier than Daredevil Matt. Li Jie only knew about this person before he came to Dongyang, and he always thought that there were only two apprentices, Matt and David.
Rock has always been a person who hides in the shadows, and he is also the successor of the next generation of the Innocence Society.
Unlike the thin stature of the stickman, the Rock Man is as strong as an ox and looks indestructible.
Solid muscles, and well-groomed brunette give the impression that this man is very reliable. Seeing the arrival of Li Jie and the others, Panshi first stood up and stretched out his hand to the two to show politeness.
It was only after the meaningless pleasantries that some Asians were accustomed to that the rock began to get down to business.
"The teacher mentioned you to me. But you came a little earlier than I expected. "The sound of the rock is quite magnetic.
"Come early, at least be able to prepare earlier. Li Jie smiled. "I heard that your ninjas have managed to infiltrate the vicinity of the castle?"
"Yes, quite a few people died. The only good news is that at least it hasn't been found out yet. The corners of Rock's mouth twitched.
"We've also launched attacks on several other Hand and Kai strongholds, making them think it's just a normal attack on them by the Innocent Society. After all, we have been at odds with each other for a long time, and it is not surprising to do so. ”
After Panshi said this, his face turned dark.
It seems that innocence will not simply kill a few people, I am afraid it will be a very heavy price. Li Jie pursed his lips.
There were some words that I wanted to say, but in the end I was still pressed down in my throat.
This was his plan, and when he first designed it, he knew that there would be a lot of sacrifices. Now it's hard to say whether this plan is right or not.
Because as long as it starts to push, this plan will not simply stop.
Li Jie can only put those thoughts behind him for the time being, and first understand what is happening now. "Have you received any accurate information now?"
Relying on the surveillance of reconnaissance satellites, it is only possible to check the general situation. Especially after Dom came, he added camouflage to the castle of the Hand and Kai.
The function of reconnaissance satellites has basically been abolished, and they can only rely on ninjas to get close to reconnoitre.
"Now it looks like they're still in the preparatory stage. A lot of supplies are being brought in and out. Rock said, unfolding a map.
Looks hand-drawn. It should have been drawn by those scouting ninjas who relied on terrain reconnaissance and drew it themselves.
"The defense of Hand and Club in several other areas of the East Ocean has become weak. In particular, the number of onmyoji has become scarce. ”
"Originally, there were several strongholds that were supposed to be stationed in the Onmyoji, but now I haven't encountered them. This allowed us to capture several strongholds of the Hand Peace Society. Rock said as he pointed to the map.
"Now we can be sure that most of the Onmyoji have been sent back to this castle. If this is really the entrance to hell. ”
"I believe that the Hand and Kai will definitely organize a sufficient number of Onmyoji to prevent terrible accidents. ”
"Any other useful news?"
"And then there are the Latvian soldiers, and we have seen a lot of them. They look better equipped than the elite Latvian soldiers who crushed the Russian army on the TV news. ”
"You mean, the special soldiers on TV who wear armor and use hot guns?" asked Peter.
"Yes, they look stronger. Maybe it's Doom's personal guard. Better equipped, better trained. Several times my ninja was almost discovered by them. Rock nodded.
"Then it doesn't seem wrong, Doom is indeed here. If his personal guard is also there. Li Jie said to Peter.
"So Dom hasn't gone to hell yet, and what is he waiting for?" asked Peter, a little confused.
"Maybe they're waiting for something like us. Li Jie tried to reason. He'd collected a lot of information about Doom before.
Especially Dr. Charlize on the Ark spaceship now, but his classmate back then was still a good friend. Lee Jay asked Tony to ask Charlize about Doom.
"Doom is the man, judging by the information provided by Dr. Charlize. He had some stubbornness. Or a self-respecting character. ”
"Judging by the way he ruled Latvia, he was not a man who liked to compromise with people, and I think that if Mephisto's equivalent exchange would certainly not fit Doom's definition of equivalent exchange. ”
"But you want a demon god to bow down to humans? Well, Dom is not the Ancient One. Now it is almost impossible for Mephisto to compromise with Doom on Earth. ”
"And if Doom can use the entire Eastern European countries as his pawns, I'm afraid even more crazy things can be done. ”
Peter nodded. "So what are we going to do now?"
And so on. Li Jie said softly.
"What are you waiting for?"
"Wait for an army of steel to arrive, so that Doom and Mephisto can listen to me obediently. ”
