8.7 New Entrustment of Unexpected Persons
As a very important guest, Utada Ken also called one of his juniors. A young man of the same age as Du Pingping asked him to communicate with Du Pingping, emphasizing that he took Du Pingping to play freely.
Uta Hiroyamao, a young man who is not much different from Du Ping's age, after his elder Utada Ken left, looked at Du Ping like a monster. I don't understand why this young man who is obviously not in the circle of people like himself is so valued by his elders.
This Uta Hiroyama man doesn't seem to be ready to hide his own mental thoughts. And show it completely and truly in the eyes of Du Pingping. Du Ping not only did not feel angry about this situation, but felt that sincerity and familiarity.
After thinking for a long time, the young man took out a cigarette roll from his coat pocket and looked at Du Ping with concern, "Marijuana, do you want one?"
Du Ping shook his head, "I don't suck this kind of thing." ”
Uta Hiroyamao's demeanor, this attitude, and this behavior reminded Du Ping of his former classmate Yuo Mishima again, as if he didn't care about things like marijuana at that time. It seems that the values and behaviors of the external society are not exactly the same here. At least on marijuana, Du Ping has seen that kind of indifference a few times.
The young man's eyes swept up and down several times at Mimiko beside Du Pingping, and asked again uncertainly, "We found some beautiful young models over there in the big room, and everyone played together in the pool." They are all girls with good figures, good looks, and good personalities. But you're already accompanied by this young lady, so you're not interested, are you?"
Du Pingping glanced sideways at Miyako beside him, his eyes were full of love and love.
"Yes, I'm not interested. ”
Uta Hiroyama tried his best to persuade, "Although I'm not interested, they are all bikinis, and they are still very eye-catching." There's also music and wine there, and I'm sure you're old enough to drink. ”
Hiroyama Uta tried to introduce him, but Du Ping was still not interested.
Looking at the dilemma of this Uta Hiroyama man, it was the empathetic Miyako who relieved the two of them.
Miyako, "I've heard that the photographs on display here are all international award-winning photographs, so we want to take a look, okay?"
Uta Hiroyama was overjoyed when he heard this, "Of course this will work!" I believe that Brother Zuoshan will be very happy. He kept complaining that none of the people and guests who came here actually came to see his photos. ”
Uta Hiroyamao happily ran out to find the Zuozen brother he was talking about. At this time, an unexpected person suddenly appeared in front of Du Fair and Miyako.
Leaf!
The woman who belonged to the Snake Demon Palace. The woman who has always been in the impression of Du Fair who should exist in the darkness of the whole city walked in front of Du Fair and Miyako in front of him in such a bright way, if she was an old friend and greeted her with a friendly greeting.
Yezi, "Hello, long time no see!"
Ye Zi looked at Du Ping with burning eyes, "I really didn't expect you to really get things done." ”
Du Ping habitually expressed his gratitude, "Yes, I didn't meet either." Your help has been of great help to me. ”
Ye Zi's expression of surprise was even more surprised, looking at Miyako, and let out an expression of disbelief, "You really found them......"
Du Ping smiled and shook his head, "From the real situation, I didn't find them. It's just a way to say something they have. So they took me in. ”
Ye Zi nodded in agreement with Du Pingping's explanation, "This is more reasonable." But you still congratulate you, you have returned with a beautiful hug!"
Du Ping looked at Miyako with loving eyes, "Yes, I found the love of my life." ”
Miyako's eyes are graceful and full of happiness, "Yes, fair!"
As the storyline begins to enter the performance loop of Toto, and Miyako, you and me, the Uta Hiroyama man walks over with a young man in his 30s with a long ponytail. It's just that when they saw the existence of Ye Zi clearly, both of them stood in horror a few meters away from Du Ping and Miyako.
Seeing them, Totsu and Miyako smiled as they smiled. So Ye Zi also turned his head and saw them.
Ye unceremoniously, as if to drive away flies, gave his own order, "Play by yourself! Don't come and disturb us!"
Although these two young people did not know Du Pingping, they obviously knew Ye Zi. When they saw that it was a leaf, they were already afraid. After hearing Ye Zi's order, he immediately turned around and fled.
Ye Zi's expression was calm, as if she was the real master of this banquet, looking at Du Fair and Miyako, "I have something to look for you!"
…………………………
The banquet is a relatively quiet place, with a row of small round tables with parasols on it, surrounded by a small environment with a woman in a long white dress playing solo. Du Ping, Miyako, and Hazi sat at one of the round tables. There was wine from the waiter on the table, but no one ate it.
Ye Zi encountered something here, and the rogue animal shelter died in a row in less than 2 months after Du Ping's departure, mainly the security guards on duty at night. Each death was horrific, as if the unknown creature that wasn't terrible had drained all the water from their bodies at once, leaving behind four corpses that were terrified, deformed, and withered.
If it was a year ago, Du Ping would not have believed in any gods and ghosts. Even if you go to a traditional temple or temple, there are more factors that respect tradition. But now, Du Ping believes that there will be anything. And this place, I have been there before. The mysterious amulet he bought from the Fengyue Street Priest had also reminded him that there was an unknown mystery there.
Du Ping put the tablet provided by Ye Zi back on the table between the three of them.
"I don't think I have the ability to deal with such an incident. ”
Yezi, "I know that Yagyu Kendo sword is in your hands, and I think you have the ability to handle the incident. ”
"I refuse. ”
Yezi, "You owe me a favor. You don't think that your previous simple payment has fully paid the price you should have paid, right?"
What Ye Zi said was so reasonable, it made Du Ping speechless.
"What do you want me to do?"
Ye Zi smiled, "It's actually very simple. And don't think I'm here to take your back and be cannon fodder. ”
Ye Zi glanced at Miyako, "I also called the police and onmyoji, I believe that with their company, you will be much safer." ”
Onmyoji?
This reminded Du Ping of the Zhang Daochang who was waiting for the moon. Du Ping looked at Miyako, and the meaning was obvious. Is it easy to deal with this kind of ghost incident?
Mimiko understood what Du Ping meant, and immediately asked, "That Onmyoji?"
Ye Zi smiled, "Hengshi monk." ”
Miyako, "Although they join, we don't need to join, right?"
Ye Zi, "You mean, with me, why do you want to be with them?"
Miyako, "Yes, I'm sure you have what it takes to handle this. ”
Leaf, "Yes, I think so too. But every time I show up there, nothing happens. And every time I leave, something happens. I think she's deliberately avoiding me, so I need help from outsiders. ”
Miyako, "That's why we were chosen." ”
Ye Zi looked at Du Pingping, "No! ”
"I can't do it! I'm just a mortal." ”
Leaf, "Yes, you are mortal. That's why it's possible to solve it. I went a few times and nothing happened. That thing was hiding from me, and I needed a mortal who could hurt it to help me. I know you have the sword of Yagyu Kendo!
Mimiko also stood on Du Pingping's united front at this time, "I don't agree with Du Pingping either! That kind of thing is too dangerous!"
Hako suddenly laughed heartily and looked at Miyako with a smile, "Don't say that it's okay with you. Big deal, I admit it! I can't solve it, if I let it go. Who's going to end up, you say?"
Miyako froze there, not knowing how to answer. Du Pingping let out a long sigh, and now it seems that he has to take care of this matter. Now it's still a favor to Yezi, if you force Ye Zi to be anxious, then it can only be a day job to help Mimiko.
"Okay! But I think you must know some of the circumstances of this matter, you must know the truth of the matter. ”
Leaf, "That's no problem. ”
Du Ping looked at the tablet on the table and emphasized, "I'm not talking about these things that everyone knows. ”
Leaf, "What do you want to know?"
Du Pingping, "There must be your reason for being stranded in China, and I believe that this reason has something to do with my matter." I want to know it!"
Du Pingping's eyes were blazing and stared directly at the leaves, as if to tell her that this was a principled disposition that could not be compromised.
Ye Zi was a little hesitant, but still nodded in agreement.
…………………………
The banquet was still going on at this time, but Du Pingping's mind was no longer here. However, it's the same as what Miyako said when she persuaded herself to come over. Du Ping was a very important guest at this banquet, so as the host of the banquet, Ken Utada very solemnly introduced Du Ping as a newcomer in the presiding ceremony of the main banquet. Of course, the introductory words and the introductory content will not be anything: this is Kuroda-sama's benefactor. What is Kuroda-sama? A powerful figure hidden under the national level.
Ken Utada's introduction to Du is very simple. It's just that this is the best student of Tachibana High School in recent years, and he has been nodded by Keirok Imperial University, and he is the youngest and most talented detective in the country.
For these guys who hold the wealth of society, everything that Utada Ken said may be a great honor for the common people, but it is really nothing here. No matter how good the school is, it is just the fate of working for others. Whether it's an outstanding student at Tachibana High School or a talented detective, it can't be said to be anything very valuable. In this era and society, there are more outstanding students and more talented people. But there are still a few who can really become a society that controls the economy and power.
So although standing next to Utada Fitness, everyone gave a very strong applause, but Du Ping could see that many of the applauding people flashed some disdainful looks. It's like rehearsing a plot from TV or a movie, and everyone is a carnivore with big fish eating small fish.
As if discovering Du Ping's mental activities, when he stepped off the rostrum, Ken Utada smiled and whispered to Du Pingping, conveying some words that were different from Du Pingping's cognition.
Ken Utada looked at the indifferent people under the rostrum, and explained and explained to Du Pingping, "Don't be too concerned with them! They are just some new nouveau riche after the fall of the Chinese era, some selfish guys who only recognize money and power. They can only provide flesh and blood for the country, but not the backbone of the country. But we're different!"
Under the guidance of Ken Utada, Du Ping took Miyako onto the dance floor under the rostrum and joined in a Western-style ballroom dancing activity. There are not only young and beautiful men and women, but also a combination of old men and women. It's not like the madman-like dance of the discotheques and nightclubs that Du Ping has seen before, but a very traditional formal dance. Although there are also skilled dancers who show off their skills, it is also a formal technique similar to that of an international ballroom dance competition.
At the end of the dance, the dancers applauded with the people outside the arena, and then the dance hall dispersed. It wasn't until another brisk music sounded that pairs of men and women entered the dance floor.
Du Ping didn't officially learn to dance, and on the dance floor before, it was all Miyako who danced with him. Inevitably, there were a lot of mistakes in the middle, and a lot of Miyako's feet were stepped on. But Du Pingping is a guy who has learned kendo, has a flexible body, and has strong learning ability, and has basically mastered the basic skills of dancing by the time he is halfway through the dance.
Miyako and Du Fair stand outside the dance floor.
Miyako, "You still can't jump?"
Du Ping shook his head, "Forget it! No matter how you feel, it's a kind of torture." ”
Miyako chuckled, "That's because you danced too little." In fact, dancing is also an attractive activity. ”
"Okay, I'll try my best." But forget it this time!"
……
While the two were talking, someone who had already come over and wanted to develop friendship with Du Pingping. As if to confirm Utada's statement, the people who really knew and knew Du Ping next belonged to a group of people who knew Kuroda-sama. Du Ping, who was introduced to all the city's economic and power circles, but finally understood the value of Du Ping, and tried to invite Du Ping, was just the existence of these antiques. It's like a sandy beach full of countless treasures, and everyone goes to pick up their most cherished treasures. What can be discarded as garbage is a treasure in the eyes of some others.
…………………………
After the dinner and back home, the leaf's information has been delivered. This is the story of an ancient demon who is so old that I don't know what age it is. It is said that there was an ordinary and kind family at that time, and although the couple did not have children of their own, they took care of a group of dogs. Dogs are their children. So this special family lived happily and peacefully on its own. But one day, the family was attacked by a group of terrible bandits and ronins like devils. They killed the woman's husband and raped the woman. Killed their children, dogs, and used them for food. Just as they celebrate their bountiful harvest in this home, bathed in their blood, the woman who has died is resurrected with the support of the souls of her children. The dogs gave up their chances of entering the soul cycle and turned into evil spirits to support the woman in her mad revenge. That night she killed all her enemies and sealed their souls in her own for good, becoming part of her own power.
This is the canine mother. A god and demon who is not widely known, but I don't know why she is also a member of the Snake Demon Palace. In the last battle between the Snake Demon Palace and the Rizhao Shrine, it fell, but the Snake Demon Palace has found clues that she may be resurrected in recent years, so Ye Zi came here.
Miyako, "Sure enough, it's a bad plan." Ye Zi has been wandering around the Tibetan horse in recent years, maybe it's for this purpose!"
Du Ping passed on the extremely simple story of the dog mother to Miyako.
"Do you know this deity? What is her condition? Is it good or evil?"
Mimiko shook her head, "The Snake Demon Palace is an existence that belongs to the chaotic camp, and the forces that belong to it often cannot be explained by good or evil. Maybe at this moment, she is still a virtuous woman who is so kind that she teaches her husband and children, and the next moment, she eats all her husband and children into her stomach. And I don't know anything about this canine mother. ”
There is something strange about Du Pingping. As an enemy of the opposing camp, how could Miyako not know that the enemies all existed?
"You don't know?"
Mimiko smiled bitterly, "You don't know about the existence of the Snake Demon Palace. It is a collection of classes and untaught. At most, they claim to have eight million gods. Moreover, these gods may not even be as weak as the dog demon you have seen, and the powerful ones need several of the most powerful onmyoji of the Rizhao Palace to fight. And in that war, too many people fell on both sides. And many gods may not even have their own names. It was a chaotic time, and Amaterasu reunited the Dongliuqiu Kingdom with the divine light of order, and the Snake Demon Palace had to surrender last. ”
Du Pingping wondered, "Since the Rizhao Palace has won the final victory, why don't you completely eliminate the Snake Demon Palace?"
Mimiko smiled bitterly and showed this information of the dog mother to Du Pingping, "Because there are many monsters in the Snake Demon Palace that can't be killed at all, some even if they are killed for a while, at a certain time, they can be resurrected by themselves." Therefore, Rizhao Palace can only make a compromise between the two sides after they accept the rules of order. ”
Du Ping looked at the information of the dog mother, "This is obviously a terrible conspiracy to resurrect the dog mother, you are from Rizhao Palace, what do you think?"
Miyako smiled wryly, "I don't have any ideas. This canine mother is not an exception, in fact, these hundreds of years, the demon has been resurrected or reborn. As long as they continue to abide by the original battle protocols, the Rizhao Palace will generally not be managed. ”
"And what do you think?"
Mimiko smiled bitterly, "Of course, it's best if you can't be resurrected!But it's not something we can do, so Ye Zi has a sentence that is very true." It's better to be a part of it than to know everything. ”
