It's dusk.

The metropolis is always so easy to reach at night, as if the white horse has passed by a short gap, and the colorful neon lights and billboards have replaced the daylight.

Perhaps it's only at night that the energy of the whole city is truly awakened.

The lights of Kabukicho, the elegant music of the high-end restaurants, and the crowd and bustle of the Ginza shopping mall......

It is the charm of Tokyo at night.

However, under this charm, there are also countless heavy pressures that have not been issued.

"Search this girl with all our might, we don't want to hear any rejection and laziness."

A thin and light sheet of ordinary A4 paper was presented in a red lacquer plate, and Kozo Noda, the leader of the Noda group, who was respectfully bent over, was busy stretching out his hands to hold the beautifully made lacquer plate, as if it were not a piece of printer paper but antique porcelain worth more than 10 million yuan.

The black-clad and black-pants law enforcement officer style is still fierce, only after explaining the task and instructions, he turned away without delay, and the long knife and gun at his waist were exposed when the hem of the trench coat fluttered, and the gorgeous and terrifying ukiyo-e lining.

There was no need for them to worry about the small gangs under them going against each other. On the one hand, the terrifying and cold-blooded image of the law enforcement personnel of this family has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the few hunting operations that have been witnessed have made the existence of law enforcement personnel even one of the vaguely circulated urban monsters; On the other hand, the information on the printed paper also makes all people not want to ignore it.

Name: Eri (photo below)

Status: Lost

If you find any relevant information and report it to your family, you will receive a prize of 2 million yen if it is confirmed to be true.

If you witness the location and report it to your home, you will receive a prize of 20 million yen if it is confirmed.

If you bring them directly to your home, you will receive a prize of 200 million yen.

Similar notices were distributed not only in Shinjuku Ward, but also throughout Setagaya, Nerima, and Adachi Wards, and any gang of all sizes, all of whom had a name in their own home, was visited by at least one law enforcer.

On the smooth paper, the long-haired burgundy girl is dressed in a red and white shrine maiden costume, but she does not have the solemnity or kindness of ordinary shrine maidens at all, but absentmindedly turns her gaze to the side, as if she does not want to waste time taking pictures.

It is undeniable that no matter how ercerated her mind and how casual her movements are, she is still beautiful and delicate in the photo, and there is a sense of surprise that makes the viewer's eyes shine.

But how can a beautiful girl be worth the determination and effort of the family to search?

Countless Yakuza were busy searching, and they hurriedly questioned the owners of the shops on the street, and pondered this question.

There are many people with keen senses who focus on the hidden surname, and speculate that the girl may be the illegitimate daughter of a certain family head, but they probably can't imagine that this beautiful and dull-looking girl is the head of the Uesugi family in the mysterious Gozo family.

Noda Kozo couldn't help but chuckle as he watched the majestic and cold enforcer out of sight.

Even this law-enforcer, who looks terrifying, probably only vaguely knows the true identity of Eri Uesugi, and may still have questions in his heart, why the family is so aggressive to find a girl.

Also as a chess piece, there is still a gap.

At least he has more right to know and freedom.

Kozo Noda reached for his phone in his pocket and dialed a number.

"Boss, we already have people in our family to issue a notice of search...... Yes, I see...... Be...... Do as you tell me. ”

It was still the attitude of groveling, and even more sincere, and the previous A4 paper was put aside indifferently, and as for the lacquer plate, it had already been thrown into the trash.

After seeing what is really powerful and free, in his opinion, those law enforcement people of their own family who are rumored to be urban weirdos are just a group of poor worms who know nothing and have nothing, and maybe they will only understand when they are abandoned before they die.

And they are different......

They believe in true freedom, and for that they can give everything.

The Noda Group, which used to be responsible for the drainage of Shinjuku City, was responsible for dredging sewer pipes in Shinjuku City, but after the new drainage system was built, it was transferred to collecting protection fees on the streets.

But Kozo Noda, who is the leader of the Noda team, is also able to contribute his valuable part.

For example, at that time, the government tendered a team to repair the drainage system, and they relied heavily on their help in the project, so it was difficult to detect which pipes were damaged and which were the most open between the drainage systems, and even the government did not know as well as them.

Kozo Noda dialed another phone again.

"Hey, A-Shou, I'm the second generation - you're still reading comics at the toy store? Hurry up! What I'm telling you is about to begin, and if you miss it, there's no second chance. ”

After saying that, regardless of the young future three generations of Noda Shou hurriedly apologized on the other end of the phone, he hung up the phone directly.

At the mouth of the narrow alley, he comfortably lit a cigarette.

Whether it is used as cannon fodder thrown once or a pawn that can be used for a long time, crazy people don't care, their only concern is whether their purpose is achieved in the process of being used.

The smoke was entangled in the reflection of the glass vitrines not far away, obscuring the rippling pale green pupils.

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

"I can't wait......

Mercer smiled and sighed, and hung up the phone.

The Presidential Suite on the top floor of the hotel offers a relaxing night view of the city.

Eri sat on the large round soft bed, fiddling with the gamepad beside her.

The most dangerous place is the safest place, and that's true. The search scope of the Eight Houses has even expanded from public places to private residences, and most of Tokyo has been rummaged through in the name of 'checking for building safety hazards', but not much attention has been paid to places like hotels that require real-name check-in and can view surveillance footage.

So he easily used the identity (face) of a rich second-generation researcher under his command to charter the presidential suite on the top floor of this hotel, and paid off the expenses for a whole month after that.

The clicks of the keys continued to sound, and Eri, who was too involved in the game, didn't even notice that the loose silk pajamas on her body had slipped slightly, revealing her fair and round shoulders and small collarbones.

Maybe you won't care if you notice it.

Seeing Mercer come to her side, she immediately skillfully handed over the other handle, just as many times Yuan Zhisheng played with her.

"I'm sorry, I can't be with you tonight."

Mercer smiled and shook her head in refusal, soothingly smoothing her long, wine-red hair, which was still a little wet after bathing.

[Can you stay with me tomorrow?] ]

Eri doesn't dwell on it, and seems to be used to her requests always being unfulfilled for various reasons.

This kind of well-behaved appearance is the most difficult to refuse.

"I'm free during the day, but tomorrow I'm going to get ready, I'm going to take you for some physical check-ups."

Mercer helped her pull up her clothes and spread the bedding into a shape suitable for sleeping.

"I set an alarm clock for 10 o'clock, and I remember to go to bed on time when the alarm clock goes off."

Eri still nodded obediently.

"Good night."

[Good night.] ]

Finally, using pulse perception to check the surrounding situation, he gently closed the bedroom door and came to the window of the living room that he had pried off.

The whistling air was extremely harsh in the process of free fall, but it only took about three or four seconds for a normal person to reach the bottom of the entire building.

It didn't smash the ground into cracks like the original body in the game, but quietly stepped on the ground under the reverse force of the spirit of words, easily as if it had just fallen after jumping on the spot.

"It's time to go."

Dialing Mai's contact number, black-red filaments rolled on the surface of his body, and he walked into the depths of the shadows as he changed into the appearance of a clown.

The narrow scarlet smile on his pale cheeks gradually disappeared into the deeper and deeper darkness, and finally turned into an afterimage, disappearing silently into the steel jungle at high speed.

It was destined to be a long night.
