Chapter 421: Heavenly Cloud Sword (Second Update)
To tell the truth, we are the ones who took it back, to put it bluntly, we are criminals recognized by the world, and now we are actually in the highest police organ of a country, and we are still a little uneasy in our hearts, but since it was Kashiwa Muquan who helped to contact us, and the supreme commander of the other party's headquarters is the Fog Hidden Crane, aren't the two of us also the retainers, thinking of this, my heart seems to be calmer again.
On the 10th floor, Maruyama led us to an office area filled with floor-to-ceiling frosted glass, with a very low-key label on the glass door that reads "Emergency Response Headquarters" in black on a white background.
I saw Maruyama clinging to the electronic access control with his badge, and the back door opened with a bang, and after pushing the door open, he politely signaled us to go first.
My eyes suddenly lit up, because it was really very big, there were many desks in a circle, and they were filled with all kinds of electronic devices, including computers and printers, and a large number of staff in formal clothes were working around, and we came in without attracting their attention, and they looked very serious.
Continuing to walk inside, I glanced at the information on the table, although I can't understand Japanese, but the photos and analysis of various monsters are very attractive to me, in addition to dragons and beasts, there are indeed all kinds of monsters that I have never seen before, it is really eye-opening.
At the end is a slightly larger independent desk, and on the office chair sits a middle-aged woman with excellent temperament, with her hair coiled and her skin fair and firm, looking very carefully at the pages of the report in her hand.
"Minister, they've arrived." Maruyama Mio said very respectfully to her.
"Hmm." The middle-aged woman stood up after putting down the paper, and after letting Maruyama leave, she looked at us with a pair of eyes full of the majesty of the leader, "Hello, I am the commander here Kirikin Tsuruko. "At the same time, he reached out and shook hands with us one by one, it was very official.
Then he led us to the tea break negotiation area next to it, and a young female staff member poured coffee for us, and after she left, Tsuruko said slowly: "I have heard Kashiwagi-kun say about you." ”
"You...... Really a ninja? I asked very curiously, because in my impression, a ninja should be a mysterious figure with a thin body and light movements, but this seemingly gentle professional woman in front of me doesn't look like a ninja should look like it.
"It seems that Shi Fanjun knows me very well." She smiled slightly, "No wonder, now that you are the leader of the organization, in this case, you are actually my superior." ”
"No, no, no, you're the elder." I took a sip of my coffee and said, "That ......"
"You're here for the three artifacts, I know that." She spoke in a calm tone and waved to the front, and a young male staff member nodded in agreement before leaving the office hall of the headquarters.
Then Tsuruko continued: "Since everyone is here to solve this matter, I have nothing to hide, the real three artifacts are here now, and the Emperor's Mansion is a fake, the purpose is to lure the enemy into the bait." ”
"Enemies? Phantom Corp!? I asked.
"That's right, the Illusory World Company also seems to know that the three artifacts are Shenmu." Tsuruko took a sip of his coffee, "Although I don't know who leaked this matter, at least it gives us a chance to seize the handle of the Phantom Realm Company." ”
After hearing this, Kanzaki said: "Actually, the Japanese side already knows the truth of the matter, right? ”
Crane nodded: "Many countries in the world already know, including China, but they are just forced by the pressure of the other party's strength and dare not speak out, but the secret investigation has never stopped." ”
"Great!" I had a feeling that I had been suddenly cleared of grievances, "Then there should be no problem with borrowing the three artifacts, right?" ”
"If it's used to fight against the Phantom Realm Company, of course there's no problem, but the emperor dictates that the headquarters must be involved in the whole process, after all, it's a matter of the entire national symbol." She continued, "And you can't take those three artifacts until the enemy strikes on the Emperor's Mansion. ”
"Why?"
"Once the other party learns that you have obtained the real thing, will the enemy still enter the trap of fake goods, this is considered from the overall situation." Tsuruko stood up, "Seeing that the opportunity to rehabilitate the retained is close at hand, you don't want to fall short, do you?" ”
"That's ......," I nodded deeply.
"But this time you're just in time." Tsuruko motioned for us to come with her, and said, "We just wanted to test the true power of the artifact. She looked at Kanzaki, "Kashiwagi-kun's 'proof of water' should be with you, right?" ”
Kanzaki nodded, "It's inside my bracelet." ”
"Very well, you come with me."
It turned out that there was an independent office next to the hall of the headquarters, without windows and office furniture, with simple white walls on all sides, and only an iron hand-pushed table was placed in the middle, with three silver suitcases on it, one long and two short, and the person pushing the table was the young male clerk who greeted him with Tsuruko just now, and he knew through the tag that his name was Satoru Takano.
"Isn't that ......" I stared at the three boxes, as if I understood something.
After Tsuruko nodded, Satoru Takano opened the longest box, and there was an old-looking wooden box inside, and then Takano carefully opened the lid of the wooden box with his white-gloved hand, and suddenly a burst of blue light shot out from inside, and then dimmed.
Kanzaki and I hurried forward, only to see a silver sword lying quietly in a wooden box full of straw, shaped a bit like a bronze sword on display in a museum, the sword body is not long, about seventy or eighty centimeters, the whole body is carved with complex patterns, some like ocean waves, some like floating clouds, and all kinds of monsters that resemble stone lions with teeth and claws.
That's right, this is one of the three artifacts, the Tiancong Cloud Sword, that is, the Kusanagi Sword, the Kanshui Divine Tree among the eight divine trees!
Kanzaki was much calmer than me, and after a while of surprise, he returned to his usual calmness, and took out the "Water Proof" from the bracelet, looked at the crane next to him, and after the other party's consent, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the hilt of the sword, took the Tiancong Cloud Sword out of the wooden box, and blessed it with the blood sacrifice of the Martial God Card after looking at it.
The blue light filled the entire sword again, and Kanzaki's whole person was shrouded in that light, and the whole environment began to become extremely cold, and the surrounding walls were covered with a thin layer of frost, and it was gradually thickening, and this was just the effect of a simple blessing, Kanzaki himself did not charge up to launch, and we were all deeply shocked by this scene.
"Okay, okay, Kanzaki, lift the blessing, I'm about to freeze to death!" I shuddered and shouted at him.
Only then did he react, and quickly took down the "Water Proof" from the sword, his expression looking delighted.
