Chapter 110: Painting Wall (3)
"Until now...... Kusanagi's soul is confined to the shell and cannot be released. Most of his mind and soul have been taken away by the Yaksha demons, and he is already mutilated, and his intelligence level is ...... Not even an ordinary person. Izumi Matsumoto said.
"In that case, it won't help to explore the secrets in his memories again?" I asked.
"That's right, that's right." Izumi Matsumoto replied.
I suddenly felt worthless for Jade Fox Zen, and she worked hard to protect the safety of these vegetative people, thinking that they were the most precious treasures of the base, related to the national fortunes of Japan and the rise and fall of the Yamato nation. As everyone knows, the general trend has gone, the building has collapsed, and everything has become garbage in the ruins, which is meaningless.
"You should have said this earlier, in that case, it would save a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, and it would not cause the forces of the rivers and lakes to fight to the death." I can't help but complain.
It was Kusanagi Kan's secret that attracted the people of the Yellow Flower Society, and there were several fights, all for the actual control of the base. People die for money, birds die for food, if this "wealth and food" do not exist, will there be frequent deaths and killings?
"It's a ...... Strategy, chain strategy...... It's Miss Jade's serial strategy......" Matsumoto Izumi smiled hard, "I know that there are tigers in the mountains, and I prefer to go to the tiger mountains." The more the secret of Kusanagi Kan is packaged...... Mysterious and weird, the more it attracts ...... The attention of other people, attracting enough attention, close the net...... All in one ......"
Jade Fox Zen coughed lightly: "Well, Mr. Matsumoto, you said too much. ”
I didn't ask her if there was such a scheme, then she must have laid down a lot of people to bring about the final shutdown and fight.
"I admire you...... Miss Jade, no, it's Princess Jade, with your IQ, you can indeed lead all the ninjas in Japan, the Koga faction, the Iga faction, and the Yagyu faction...... will bow down at your feet. Revitalize...... The burden of Japanese ninja can probably only fall on your shoulders in the end. I want to advise you never to treat ninjas as normal...... They are machines, out-and-out machines, to manage them like management machines, without emotion, whips, sticks, and iron laws are the best tools, don't talk to them about feelings, ninjas have no feelings......" Matsumoto Izumi's breathing became extremely heavy, the light in his eyes gradually disappeared, and the muscles on his cheeks became stiff and rigid.
Often, this means that a person has ended the period of returning to the light and may die at any time.
I'm not Japanese, and I don't have any national feelings for Matsumoto Spring, but I can't help but feel sad when I see a master of the rivers and lakes die. Perhaps in a few years' time, each of us will end up with this fate. The crockpot was difficult to break from the well, and the general died in battle.
Footsteps sounded in the corridor again, and Jade Fox Chan couldn't hold back and strode out.
I looked at her back and didn't say anything to stop her. There are countless variables within the base now, and it is impossible to act according to the rules, and can only rely on everyone's judgment to react to the battle situation. Just like at this moment, I chose to shrink on defense, while Jade Fox Chan chose to take the initiative, and the two of them chose to go in opposite directions, not necessarily which one was more favorable.
"If you still feel that you are Chinese, today's thing, just let it go." Suddenly, another voice rang in my ears.
My heart sank suddenly, because the voice came from the general of the Yellow Flower Society who had spoken on the phone before.
"How?" I asked in a deep voice.
"Take advantage of the victory, seize all the secrets of the Japanese, and let those materials become the precious wealth of the Chinese." The general continued.
Of course, I am Chinese, but everything must be "taken in the right way", otherwise, what is the difference with robbers?
"If you want to take it, you can take it." I whispered in response.
Within the horizon, Jade Fox Zen had reached the end of the corridor, standing at the turning point of the curved ruler piercing the heart arrow.
"I don't take secrets, I only take the lives of Japanese people." The general said coldly.
I was speechless, the other party had already seen my weakness and directly threatened me with the life of Jade Fox Zen.
"Give you a little time to think about it, if you want to save the life of the Japanese royal princess, you will follow the command of all actions." The general said.
"Secrets are dead and have no real value at all." I told the truth.
According to Izumi Matsumoto, it all started before Kusanagi Kan drilled a bouncing biwa mural. The rig didn't start working, and the mural was unharmed, which means that the mysterious world hidden behind the mural is still closed and confined, without any contact with the outside world, like an extinct volcano that has been sealed.
The general laughed: "I don't want the secret of death, just the living." ”
I shrugged: "I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do. ”
"Silence dozens of times, and the princess will die. So, after the countdown starts, you have to make a decision within ten seconds, and it's the right one. The general said.
I was not surprised by the appearance of the Great General, she had been lurking for a long time, and she had calculated that it was already the time of harvest before she jumped out. This is an inevitable result, when Jade Fox Zen and Matsumoto Spring have reached the point of exhaustion and are no longer able to move forward, there will inevitably be new forces on the scene and become the winners in a new round of battles.
In Dunhuang, any force in the rivers and lakes has its own magic weapon to gain a foothold. Like the Yellow Flower Society, what they are best at is to sneak attack, kill with one hit, find the enemy's dead hole, and attack mercilessly. In the course of this kind of battle, the contrast between strength and weakness is obvious, and the ninjas of the Heart Moon Forceless Sect have no resistance at all.
I don't want to see Jade Fox Chan fall to the ground, because she is a different person, with both foresight and maneuverability, and can play a good role in neutralizing the power game between China and Japan. The more people like her, the more integrated and harmonious scenes of the forces of different nationalities will appear, and there will be fewer and fewer struggles between them.
Therefore, even if I offend the general, I will try my best to ensure that Jade Fox Chan lives safely.
"Alright, the countdown begins." The general said.
I can't see the general, I can only hear her voice, this is the most tricky, even if I want to fight back, there is no direction to attack.
Jade Fox Zen disappeared into the corridor, and then there was no sound, and even the footsteps could not be heard.
Izumi Matsumoto was about to die, lying on his back in a swivel chair without a sound.
I know that if I can't hold my breath at the moment and make blind judgments, it will only be bad. I can't see the general, but she can see me and know my every move.
At the moment, my only advantage is that I have the memories of Izumi Matsumoto and Kan Kusanagi, which is the only bargaining chip that can negotiate with the shogun. Only by seeing this clearly can I find my way forward in the midst of chaos.
Things have developed to this point, and those who can sit at the negotiating table are all extremely intelligent and emotionally intelligent people, and any little tricks, tricks, and cleverness are meaningless. Because everyone's judgment of the situation is almost the same, and their views on the future are roughly the same. Therefore, as long as you speak, you have to express your true thoughts in order to make the other person listen.
I tried to analyze the battle strategy of the Yellow Flower Society, what they wanted was all the secrets of the Mogao Grottoes, from history to the present, from reality to metaphysics, and they couldn't wait to catch them all, even the information that other forces already had.
Although the Yellow Flower Society is all women, this surging ambition is not lost to any man. The power is strong and swallows the world, which is the true portrayal of the general at this moment.
Knowing this, I saw my place in this negotiation.
Recall that where is the whole secret core of the Mogao Grottoes? It is the Jinshan Yinhai Jade Palace behind the rebound pipa diagram, and the old immortal situation of the heavens and wastelands, which is the most important thing. What the Yellow Flower Club wants is both wealth and eternal life. For this reason, they did not hesitate to go out and make enemies of all the Jianghu people. In this case, once the battle line is extended, the Yellow Flower Society will inevitably show flaws and be overstretched.
What I want to do is to drag on the battle indefinitely, so that Huanghua will fall into a quagmire that cannot be resolved quickly, so that the general will unknowingly show his feet.
"You don't have much time left." In the process of silently counting the seconds, the general spoke again.
"I'll give you all the secrets, in exchange for Jade Fox Zen's life." I responded.
"All? How much is it all? The general asked.
"Kusanagi's memories, Matsumoto Springs' analysis, the whereabouts of the super rig, the metaphysical world behind the Mogao Grottoes—are these enough?" I asked rhetorically.
"Also, the future plans of the Thunderbolt Hall." The general is so greedy that he wants to take even the secret in my head.
I hesitated for a moment, and immediately nodded: "Okay, I'll do everything I have to exchange the life of Jade Fox Zen." ”
The general didn't speak again, and seemed to have retreated.
I reached out my right index finger and pressed it against the major artery under Matsumoto's neck.
This time, he really died.
"It's a pity, a generation of wise men...... "I feel sorry, but I can't say anything more about Izumi Matsumoto.
The two countries are at war, each with its own master. If there are a large number of Japanese wise men, it will bring great hidden dangers to China. Therefore, the death of Matsumoto Izumi is not a bad thing for the people.
I stood up and walked to the door.
Now that the Great General has retreated, and our two sides have reached a preliminary gentleman's agreement, the threat from the Yellow Flower Society must have disappeared.
It was based on this judgment that I was greatly relaxed, and I felt a little relaxed.
Just as I was standing in the center of the doorway, bypassing the computer desk and whiteboard, the attack suddenly occurred, and a figure suddenly shook on the wall at the end of the corridor, and then three sharp arrows broke through the air, shooting at my body from the top, middle and bottom.
I dodged behind the right and hit the whiteboard, which had two extra arms out of thin air and grabbed me by the waist.
The sneak attacker was extremely fast, and in less than a second after holding me, he had already wrapped a gray cow tendon rope around my limbs, head and neck, under my ribs, and crotch, and then tied a dead knot behind my back.
It was only at this moment that I saw that it was a short and fat woman who attacked me, with cold eyes, dressed in white, and all the exposed skin was also white, and her face was very strange.
"Feng Shui is Feng Shui, layout is layout, you must be mistaken, thinking that the biggest threat to the curved ruler piercing the heart arrow is on the promenade outside. Unfortunately, your judgment is completely wrong and contrary to the real situation. The woman said coldly.
"What do you call Your Excellency?" I asked.
The woman didn't answer, but pulled a knife out of her sleeve and gently gestured it over my Adam's apple.
"If you cut it from here, will you be able to take a whole head?" She asked.
I was forced by the blade and couldn't nod my head, I could only stare at each other.
"You're not the only person in the world who can read the memories in other people's minds, I cut off your head and hand it over to the Great Military Division, and I can also achieve the purpose of grabbing the secrets of the Heart Moon Sect. The general is stubborn and complicated, which is the most headache. If you had done what I said, you would have successfully excavated Cave 112 of Mogao Caves at this moment, killed people and seized treasures. As she spoke, she made a gesture and swung a knife at my Adam's apple, which was so cold that my hair stood on end.
"Your Excellency...... What do you call it? I heard that in the past, there were three masters of the Yellow Flower Society in charge of the torture hall, the bronze hand of the ghost mother-in-law, the shadowless and invisible slender waist bee, and the black-faced judge Xiong Wanfei, each of whom took pleasure in cutting human heads, and dared to ask Your Excellency if it was a bronze hand or Xiong Wanfei? I asked with difficulty. When speaking, every time the Adam's apple shakes up and down, you can feel the viciousness on the other party's blade.
"Hehehehe, I'm not a bronze hand, and I'm not Xiong Wanfei. You want to set almost, just say the wrong thing! The fat woman sneered.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Could it be that Your Excellency is a thin-waisted bee?" ”
The fat woman nodded: "That's right, I'm the boss of the Yellow Flower Society's Torture Hall, the shadowless and invisible slender bee-"
