Chapter 110: The Lan of the Four Valleys
Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, Yotsuya.
It is inhabited by low-level office workers in Tokyo, and despite the bustling traffic, there are still houses with extremely low rents for those who have been abandoned by society.
At 6:20 a.m., dozens of pitch-black windows stare silently into the empty street on the white rental building, which is shrouded in the shadow of the building and the sun does not shine.
The black Maybach is hidden in the darkness, silently rowing into the streets of Yotsuya, in the back seat, Lin Nian looks out from the car window, the forest-like buildings gather into a steel jungle, showing the prosperity and congestion of the city of Tokyo, although it is only six o'clock in the morning, the street has been flowing with a lot of office workers in black suits hurrying by, and occasionally looking up at the Maybach sliding on the street with envious eyes in his eyes.
"Lin Nian, are you coming to Tokyo for the first time?" On the co-pilot of the Maybach, the head of the Inuyama family asked with a smile.
"Yes, the only impact on Tokyo before was TV dramas and movies." Lin Nian said.
"What is your first impression of Tokyo now?" The head of the Inuyama family asked again.
"We've only been in Tokyo for half an hour, so it's probably a little early to talk about our impressions." Lin Nian glanced at the two people beside him, Miyamoto Isshin and Mandy were both sitting in the back seat of the Maybach with him, both of them put their hands on their knees like children in class, the former was well versed in the rules of the Japanese branch, and the latter was purely sensible.
"Hotels in the busiest areas of Tokyo range from 100,000 yen to hundreds of thousands of yen a night, while the average rent for a rental house in Yotsuya ranges from 120,000 yen to 70,000 yen." The head of the Inuyama family looked at the rolling white rental buildings along the street: "Every year, many young people from all over Japan crowd into those small boxes, enduring hunger and fatigue and fantasizing about stepping into the future of the red light and green wine belt. ”
"Lin Jun, Tokyo, it's a paradise for dreamers." The head of the Inuyama family sighed slightly: "Too many, too many people want to get ahead, and they don't hesitate to fall into the face, abandon the foundation and the lining as the price of desperately climbing up, maybe this time you will see something unimaginable when you come to Tokyo, I hope you won't be surprised by the time." ”
"How so?" Lin Nian raised his head slightly, and understood that the head of the Inuyama family was giving him a vaccination: "The senior we are looking for this time is the person you call the person who wants to 'get ahead'?" ”
"Maybe I don't count if I say this, and the person who knows him best is not me." The head of the Inuyama family shook his head.
In the driver's seat, Yoshitaka Hasegawa also realized that it was time to speak for himself, and immediately explained: "Yes... Ryoichi has a bit of individualism, and because of his past experiences, he is always in a state of wanting to prove himself all the time, and this time he is probably chasing the prisoner alone. ”
"Are you talking about this Ryoichi Okubo from the local executive bureau in Japan?" Lin Nian asked: "This kind of dangerous case is generally under the full management of the executive department in the department. ”
"Ryoichi does have a registered account in the Executive Board, but he is not a full-fledged member, but he can generally do things like chasing dangerous half-breeds by himself without disturbing the Executive Board." Yoshitaka Hasegawa said, "The Shinjuku area is under the jurisdiction of our Inuyama family, and if something happens, we will naturally contain and solve it as soon as possible, and the Executive Board will take over if it is beyond our ability... Probably Ryoichi didn't want to lose the face of the Inuyama family, so he went to hunt down the murderer so impatiently. ”
"Are there many cases of murder of dangerous half-breeds like this in Tokyo?" Lin Nian asked again.
As soon as this question came out, the faces of Yoshitaka Hasegawa and the head of the Inuyama family moved slightly, the former did not say anything for fear of saying the wrong thing, while the latter answered this question with a slight smile: "Tokyo is a big city, and the number of incidents that the Executive Directorate has to deal with every day is more than three digits. ”
The corners of Lin Nian's eyebrows twitched, the answer of the head of the Inuyama family can be described as straightforward and excessive, and the meaning is very simple and clear - in our Japanese branch, the killing of dangerous half-breeds is only a small problem, who will spend energy to count the frequency of such trivial things?
"It seems that the executive board of the Japanese branch is really strong and reliable, but does the Inuyama family have any manpower in the executive board?" Lin Nian asked curiously.
"That's the business of the Gen family, our Inuyama family is not a fight-and-kill family as a whole, the lights are the authority of our manager, and there is always a need for someone in the family to control the entertainment industry and provide a steady stream of funding to support the great cause of slaying dragons." The head of the Inuyama family said with a smile.
"Genjia? I remember if there was a senior in the Gen family named 'Gen Zhisheng'? Lin Nian suddenly asked.
The co-pilot's eyebrows jumped on the corner of the head of the Inuyama family, but his face was still the same: "Did Yixin-kun tell you?" ”
"I mentioned it casually." Lin Nian nodded, and Miyamoto on the side was silent.
"Yes, the 'Yuan Zhisheng' in your mouth is the head of the Yuan family, and it is also the son of the head of our family, if I wait to see it, I also need to respectfully say 'young master', Lin Nian, why do you pay attention to the young master of this family?" The head of the Inuyama family asked as if he had not done so.
"It's just that I heard that 'Gen Zhisheng' is the strongest in the Japanese branch, so I naturally became a little interested, and Principal Angers asked me to come here for a period of exchange and study, since it is an exchange and learning, I naturally want to ask for experience from the stronger." Lin Nian said.
"Don't you look down on my old bones?" The head of the Inuyama family burst into a cheerful laugh.
"Where's the word? It's just that I have admiration and curiosity for young people who are close to my age but have a prestigious honor on their backs. Lin Nian scratched his head and smiled harmlessly.
Mandy's eyebrows on the side were also jumping involuntarily, and she couldn't help but shrink in the leather sofa of the Maybach, for some reason she always felt that there were a lot of hidden arrows and obscure meanings in the laughter of the old and young people.
"According to Kaguyahime's instructions, this should be the area." Yoshitaka Hasegawa released the throttle, and the Maybach slowed down, and the GPS navigation alerted them that they were close to their destination.
"Kaguya-hime? What is that? Lin Nian asked casually.
"The Miyamoto family's separate cloud computing system at the Iwarunu Research Institute is equivalent to the Norma of the headquarters." Miyamoto explained aloud.
"Artificial intelligence, in fact, when I first entered school, I thought Norma was a real person." Lin Nian nodded in understanding.
"At first, many people thought that Norma was a real person, and some people drew an anthropomorphic picture of Norma on the forum, a white woman with long white hair." Mandy spoke up.
"Why gray hair?"
"Because the students who draw pictures are Chinese."
"Kabayahime at the Iwa-Ryu Research Institute doesn't have any anthropomorphic figures, artificial intelligence is just artificial intelligence, and the real appearance is just a bunch of cables and precision mechanical equipment in the hangar." Miyamoto shook his head wholeheartedly, as if he was speechless at the group of elites in the academy who were full of food and had nothing to do.
"According to Kaguyahime, ten minutes ago, the headquarters of the Executive Board located in Genji Heavy Industries received a call for help from Shinjuku City, and the call reported a specific location, which is where we are now in Yotsuya, and the caller was none other than Ryoichi... But rather than a call for help, it was a mission announcement that the Executive Board had gone to his destination alone to track down the killer. Yoshitaka Hasegawa said.
"The hasty and independent pursuit of dangerous hybrids is likely to affect the common people, and if I remember correctly, this is a matter of apology for the crime of my family a few years ago, right?" Miyamoto said softly.
"In today's family, it is still necessary to apologize." The head of the Inuyama family said lightly.
"Isn't the question now that you have to find out where the other people are?" Lin Nian looked out from the window of the Maybach, and the rental buildings on the street stood in rows, each of which was home to at least a hundred people, and it was even more difficult to find a target in this environment.
"The destination reported by Ryoichi has a specific house number address, I remember that it seems to be 1023..."Yoshitaka Hasegawa didn't finish speaking, suddenly, there was a loud noise on the street, and the glass rain fell from the sky on the side of the street, and a window on the third floor of the rental building on the right side of the Maybach broke in response, and a figure flew out violently, falling from the sky and falling impartially and just on the hood of the Maybach.
The whole Maybach shook up and down violently, and the window glass burst into slag and sprayed into the street, it looked like the car had not undergone bulletproof modifications, but it also greatly cushioned the person who fell on the hood.
Yoshitaka Hasegawa in the driver's seat instantly pounced in front of the head of the Inuyama family and made a protective move, while the latter sat motionless and awe-inspiring, looking at the figure lying on his back outside the smashed windshield.
Miyamoto Yixin and Lin Nian immediately leaned out of the windows on the left and right sides to look at the rental building, and Mandy, who was sitting in the middle, rubbed the melon seeds on her head that she accidentally bumped into.
"Ryoichi?!" Yoshitaka Hasegawa was stunned when he saw the young man smashed on the Maybach.
Lin Nian, who leaned out of the car, also fell on the guy who was asleep on the windshield, this shocking way of appearance he once thought that this guy was hanging, but after a few seconds, the other party coughed and struggled to get up.
"Are you alright?" Lin Nian, who leaned out of the back seat and came out of his body, shouted loudly to the front.
The brother on the windshield turned his head vigilantly, and seemed to be a little surprised when he saw Lin Nian, a boy of this age was not frightened when he saw this scene, but after a while, he retracted his heart and looked back at the third floor of the rental building where he fell with a cold face, and on the window, a woman with a blue face like a demon and a black tear mole was condescendingly staring at him coldly.
"I'm sorry about your car." The young man, who was also Ryoichi Okubo, didn't even have time to look at the model of the car he had smashed, propped himself up from the windshield and coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood before falling to the ground.
"Hey!" Lin Nian looked at the man's stumbling steps and couldn't help but shout at him again.
Ryoichi Okubo didn't look back, probably just thinking that the other party was asking him to pay for the car, at this time he didn't have the energy to pull these things, and the murderer upstairs wouldn't wait for him to slowly climb upstairs.
Seeing that the other party ignored him, Lin Nian retracted into the car a little helplessly and looked at the head of the Inuyama family: "May I ask who has a cutting tool?" ”
Miyamoto straightforwardly shook out a dagger from his cuff and threw it to Lin Nian, and the co-pilot Kamiyama family head suddenly showed a big smile on his face.
Lin Nian pushed open the car door and got out of the car, straightened his cufflinks and walked behind Ryoichi Okubo, who was staggering towards the rental building, and patted him on the shoulder.
Ryoichi Okubo frowned and looked back, but he didn't see anyone, and for a moment he only felt out of balance, and his eyes flickered to see the morning sky - he was put down.
snapped and fell to the ground, Ryoichi Okubo was a little stunned, didn't react to what was happening, and a sentence floated to his ears: "Just lie there for a while, don't run around, take a break and go to the car to rest." ”
What the heck?
Ryoichi slammed his body half-propped up, only to see the boy in the car rush into the rental building and disappear without a trace.
"Hey!" This time, Ryoshi Kubo yelled, he didn't understand what was going on at all, what did the other party think was going on in this building? Do roommates fight? He went up to persuade him?
Just as Ryoichi was about to sit up from the ground and rush up, a hand was placed on his shoulder, and the undoubted force kept him in place, which made him look back in a creep, only to see an old man with a sword eyebrow crouching behind him.
The head of the Inuyama family, Inuyama looked at him quietly and didn't say a word.
"I've seen... Head of house. After a long time, Ryoichi Okubo said in a daze, his brain blank.
Even though his heart was filled with blood and restlessness, his brain quickly cooled down in front of this old man, and he gradually began to understand what was happening.
"It's a good thing that young people are motivated, and I was like you when I was working hard at the port a few decades ago." The head of the Inuyama family smiled lightly: "But who knows how many slanders and insults the current superficial scenery has endured in the past?" There are some things that cannot be rushed. ”
Yoshitaka Hasegawa got out of the car and waited behind the head of the Inuyama family, and Miyamoto and Mandy also got out of the car to look up at the rental building, which was now full of screams, cracks, and angry shouts on the not-so-high floors, like a chaotic drama entering the climax stage, only to be full of applause from the audience.
"Looks like I screwed up." Ryoichi Okubo looked back at the dented Maybach who was smashed by himself and whispered.
"Now that you've come to this, why don't you hand it over to the latter and accumulate some of the experience you need for the future?" Inuyama said.
What else can Ryoichi Okubo say, he can't refuse, he can only agree, but his face still has doubts that can't be erased: "That person just now was..."
"Exactly." Yoshitaka Hasegawa looked at Ryoichi and nodded slightly, so the latter said no more.
"Yixin-kun, Mantisan, you have known Lin Nian for the longest time, right now, what do you think?" The head of the Inuyama family withdrew his hand from Ryoichi's shoulder, turned his head and asked with a smile.
Mandy was a little stunned when she was called by her name, and she didn't know what the head of the Inuyama family was asking, but Miyamoto Ichishin on the side immediately replied: "He has probably reached the third floor while speaking, just now... Probably about the same. ”
"So highly rated?" The head of the Inuyama family raised his head with a smile: "I remember that the principal mentioned when he called, Lin Jun knows most schools of knife techniques, and he likes to use long knife weapons the most, this time he only has a dagger in his hand in a hurry, won't he delay for a long time?" ”
"Can't you kill without a sword? For a person like Lin Jun, how could a sword be such an inconvenient thing? Miyamoto said in one heart.
Now Mandy understands what these two are talking about.
The next moment, the sound of a broken window sounded again on the rental building, and as the glass rain fell, a black shadow fell the roof of the Maybach, and a little blood splattered at the squatting Inuyama family owner between the loud noise, Hasegawa Yoshitaka and Miyamoto moved briskly to block the splashing blood droplets, but Rao was still like this, and a drop passed through the gap and rubbed Inuyama's cheek.
The head of the Inuyama family raised his hand and wiped the warmth on his face, a thoughtful look appeared on his face, and a woman on the roof of the Maybach car on the side was deeply immersed in it, her face was blue and scaly, her arms turned into claws, and her eyes were round and like a demon, but a dagger pierced into her forehead, and it continued to gurgle and flow out as a spring, and flowed down from the car.
