Tokyo.

It's 9:00 Tokyo time, and the rush to work has already passed its peak, but there is no shortage of traffic on the highway and viaduct.

As a highly developed modern international city, the rows of high-rise buildings are extremely dense, and all kinds of billboards and LED promotional screens show their own colors on these high-rise buildings that blend with the sky.

However, among these elegant gray buildings, there is a mansion completely encased in an iron-black glass curtain wall, like an iron monument in the jagged bushes.

It is the headquarters of Genji Heavy Industries Co., Ltd.

"What a good time to ......"

Mercer stopped looking, leaped from a tall building, and smashed a horrific crack into the ground in a small alley.

According to the information he got yesterday, Gen Zhisheng will go to Nagoya today to deal with an incident related to 'ghosts' - since the level of secrecy is not high, he can only know if he devours two middle- and lower-level snakes and eight family cadres.

The only obstacle is the Wind Demon Kotaro who is always sitting at the headquarters.

But......

Countless fragments of memories hit his consciousness like a tidal wave, and were quickly pressed down by him.

Can't wait any longer.

The car was flowing down the road not far away, but no one noticed that a swift black shadow cut through the loose crowd in an instant, cut into the traffic across hundreds of meters, and then dove under the chassis of an off-road vehicle with a perfect movement that didn't require a trace of effort.

Not only passers-by could only feel a breeze, but even the monitoring equipment on the road did not catch the slightest trace because of the excessive speed.

Descend this road and soon you will be on the elevated road.

Steady with just three fingers, Mercer hung like a large bat from the bottom of the car, trying to fight the flow of information in his head, trying to find the insignificant parts of the two cadres beyond the countless fragments of research and development.

The elevated highway passes through the fifth and sixth floors of the Genji Heavy Industries Building, that is, between the fourth and seventh floors of the building, which is almost suspended and connected by only 12 load-bearing columns.

However, under the support of these 12 load-bearing columns, over the past few years, whether it is a variety of large or small earthquakes, the weight of tens of thousands of tons above six floors has not been offset at all. I have to say that Genji's heavy work is the core industry of Japan's Snake Qi Hachi, and it is really unique.

Thinking of this, Mercer let go of his fingers, and his other hand was on the ground to support and exert force.

Quietly again, he slipped out of the chassis, obeying inertia, just behind a huge load-bearing column.

In order to connect the upper and lower floors, Genji Heavy Industries installed four elevators on each side of the rectangular cavity to meet the needs of the family's large and rapid flow of people.

This was his chance.

If he had entered the building from the Iron Dome underground as the protagonist trio had done in the original book, it would have been difficult for him to guarantee that his luck would be as good as that of the protagonist at all.

Sharp claws popped out as he leaped through the air, digging inches into the concrete in the shadows of the load-bearing pillars until he steadied his body.

With the help of pulse perception, he was able to 'see' very clearly the inside of the elevator shaft beneath the outer layer of concrete.

At this time, a wave of people was pouring out of the elevator on the first floor, and the staff waiting to go up were quietly waiting by the outpouring of people, politely waiting for all the colleagues in the elevator to come out.

The next moment, centering on the concrete layer inserted into the claw, Mercer expanded another slender and tough claw into a radius of about 6 dm, drawing a circle on the concrete layer with a sharpness enough to cut through the steel.

The other hand is in the shape of a palm, which seems to be gently imprinted on the center of the circle, but in fact, a huge force bursts from the center in the form of soft energy, just breaking the whole circle of strong fine network steel bars.

The staff who were about to go up had already entered the elevator one after another, and each pressed the floor where they were working.

Mercer removed the cake-shaped concrete outer layer and plunged into the deep elevator shaft, where he easily stood on top of the elevator when it went up to his feet, and by the way snapped the cake-shaped concrete outer layer back into place.

The staff in the elevator only felt the slightest indiscernible tremor coming from the elevator, unaware that a bold infiltrator was already standing above them.

7th floor, 8th floor, 9th floor......

Mercer looked up at the hollow darkness above and counted silently.

Below the 20th floor, the ordinary office area, where the companies under the Eight Snake Qi Families work, is the time when the employees are most energetic and energetic throughout the day, so he can sense that the number of people on each floor is not less than sixty.

Above the 20th floor is the office area of the eight high-rise houses of the Snake Clan, as well as the central office space of the two major branches of the Kanto and Kansai branches, the Executive Board, the Iwarunu Research Institute, and the Maruyama Construction Office.

It is worth mentioning that the 22nd floor is used to place Japan's 'Norma', the artificial intelligence Kaguya. Between the 22nd and 23rd floors, the mural is used to store the secret of the White King's bones.

If he was willing to make a big fuss, I was afraid that the entire Eight Snake Qi Families would also fall into a period of weakness and chaos for at least several years.

But he's here to find someone.

----------------

Kazema Kotaro knelt down in front of the delicate tea table, the well-made dark Kansai iron kettle exuding a scorching temperature, but the curling steam only rose slowly at the spout.

Yiying's tea set was displayed on the tea table, and he did not live up to these antique tea sets, stretching out his thin but strong hands, stroking and playing with them.

There were no guests on the opposite side of the tea table.

In fact, the Awakening Temple he was in at the moment was a very high-level place in the entire building. Normally, it is only open when the heads of the eight families hold a meeting, or they can only enter with the permission of the head of the family.

The reason why he was able to meditate on the tea ceremony in this solemn Shinto place was also because he was one of the heads of the Eight Clans, with all the qualifications and status, and was the 'Ruotou' of the Eight Snake Families, second only to the eldest patriarch and the young master Gen Zhisheng in handling affairs.

But he was faintly uneasy.

The sleek new tea table was sleek and sleek, his hands gently rubbing the dark amber tea bowl, his eyes meeting the reflection on the tea table.

The reflection of himself is no longer young – a fact he had accepted 10 years ago.

At that time, Sakurai Nanami, who had been entangled with him, had already married into the Sakurai family, and Ryoma Genichiro was about to take over as the head of the Ryoma family, two of the three families were still young, and Tachibana Masamune temporarily represented all the powers of the Misan, and he was not arrogant, but humbly asked for advice, treated people sincerely, and worked hard to stabilize and carry forward the situation of the Snake Eight family.

Everything is on the rise and is looking forward to future changes.

He, the Wind Demon Kotaro, was already an old man at that time.

Now that Sakurai Nanami has become the head of the Sakurai family, Ryoma Genichiro has conscientiously cooperated with the Kanto Kansai branch to develop arms, Tachibana Masamune's original jerky methods have long exceeded his unknown amount, and Gen Zhisheng has begun to exude his potential and light as Amaterasu.

He, Wind Demon Kotaro, is still a half-dead old man.

"There's no time to wait—"

It's not like a sigh, it's like a feeling of joy that comes from interest.

The water in the iron kettle is boiling.
