Chapter 533: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole
Paranoid people can easily end up in a dead end, and their horizons will become very narrow, and they can only see what they want to see.
If we judge by the so-called laws of nature by Mordo, the existence of demons itself is a great destruction of the laws of nature.
But in order to reach the only end seen in the narrow field of vision, perhaps Mordo can no longer care about other things, and his personal character flaws have gradually led him to the extreme.
"Hey~"
Lu Xiao sighed: "Yongzhen, will Mo Du have a fatal impact on the final succession?" β
"No, it won't."
Yongzhen calculated for a moment before replying: "If Mordo keeps acting in this state of solitude, he will not be able to have enough influence on our preparations, but I am worried about ......"
"Hmm."
Lu Xiao's gaze became deeper: "Don't move those swingers for the time being, even if they defect, don't chase them down immediately." β
"I'm going to see where Mordo is hiding and what the hell he's going to do."
β¦β¦
Lu Xiao is not an ancient one, he will not let the rules of the mysterious side bind his hands and feet.
When ordering the mystics to continue to complete the rest of the plan, Lu Xiao asked Consus to hack into the surveillance satellites of the military of various countries and hide in the back door of the satellite control system to monitor the situation on the ground in real time.
Aletheia, who has just been idle, is in charge of taking over surveillance cameras around the world, searching for Mordo's whereabouts in a multi-pronged manner.
Mordo's whereabouts are secretive, and multiple surveillance has not been able to find his traces, but he has accidentally guessed the approximate location of Mordo's current location through the actions of some internal ghosts.
In the Kama Taj Secret Art Hall, only a very small number of Kama Taj high-level officials received Lu Xiao's invitation to come to the combat meeting.
Lu Xiao tapped on the holographic map with a folding fan: "Although it is impossible to confirm the specific position of Mordu's lair, the inner ghost who secretly contacted him revealed Mordu's approximate whereabouts. β
"Japan, Tokyo, is a megalopolis with a population of more than 38 million, and more than 35% of Japan's total population is concentrated around Tokyo."
"Before Mordo took the initiative to act, trying to find his whereabouts in the midst of such a huge flow of people was like looking for a needle in a haystack."
Hamill stroked his beard thoughtfully: "You mean, lure the snake out of the hole?" β
Lu Xiao nodded: "Half of it is like this, and the other half is along the vine." β
"If you want to complete that paranoid idea, Mordo alone is definitely not enough."
"He needs helpers, and there is no better place for them to stay in Kama Taj and know all the changes in Kama Taj."
Lu Xiao gently tapped the folding fan left by Gu Yi in his hand, and he planned to solve Mo Du who was dragging his feet under the general trend as quickly as possible.
"I'll go to Tokyo first to lure Mordo into making a move, Master Hamill, and I'll leave the finishing touches on the 'Gate' plan to you."
Hamill nodded, "No problem." β
"Yongzhen, you're in charge of monitoring and tracking down the inner ghosts, and I suspect they'll defect in the next few days."
Yongzhen solemnly promised: "I will keep an eye on their every move." β
"Very good, take action and try to resolve this matter within a month."
β¦β¦
Tokyo, the capital of Japan, although it is in a different world, it is not the first time that Lu Xiao has come to this noisy city.
After landing at Narita Airport by plane, Lu Xiao rarely took off her hood and took the airport bus into the city with her bare hands.
It is relatively rare for foreigners to visit Tokyo without a salute, and thanks to the fluency of Japanese learned during the Moon World, the Japanese on the airport bus regard Lu Xiao as a native returning from a short business trip.
Lu Xiao had no intention of correcting these people's misconceptions, he did not hide his whereabouts throughout the whole process, and naturally integrated into the chat environment of the bus.
Since he decided to use himself as bait to lure Mordo out, Lu Xiao first considered the three most prosperous areas in the center of Tokyo when choosing a place to stay, namely Chiyoda Ward, Chuo Ward and Minato Ward.
Chiyoda is the political center of Japan, and most of the offices of all levels of government are located here.
Although the famous electric town Akihabara is also in Chiyoda Ward, the living atmosphere of the entire district is relatively serious, and Lu Xiao first ruled it out as an option.
Chuo Ward is Japan's financial and commercial center, and high-spending destinations such as Ginza are located in this neighborhood.
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Xiao gave up the central area and set a foothold in the port area near Tokyo Bay.
Minato Ward is home to a number of high-end residential areas, which are quieter than Chiyoda and Chuo, and offer a low-key luxury.
At the same time, because of its proximity to the port of Tokyo, it is also an area with a strong international atmosphere.
As a local tyrant who is not bad for money, Lu Xiao directly asked Althea to buy a well-decorated high-end single-family house in full, and completed the handover with the head of the household on the same day.
Leaning on the balcony on the second floor of her temporary new home, Lu Xiao nodded to her neighbor who was drying her clothes next door, and at the same time established contact with Altheya.
"Did you find anything?"
"Not yet."
Lu Xiao was not surprised by this, although he was dragged down by his narrow vision, Mo Du was an elite mystic who had been carefully taught by Gu Yi after all, and it was not so easy to expose himself to the vision of ordinary people.
Lu Xiaomo rubbed his chin, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind: "Are there any ceremonies or festivals in Tokyo Mystery World that are worth attending recently?" β
"Really."
Alethea sent the relevant information to Lu Xiao's Focus: "Kanda Festival, one of the three major festivals in Japan. β
"Originally, the Kanda Festival was held to celebrate the victory in the Battle of Sekigahara, and at each even-numbered festival, the Onmyoji of Greater Tokyo would hold a large gathering that was not known to ordinary people."
Lu Xiao raised her eyebrows: "Time? Place? β
"Starting at 6 p.m. on May 19, the venue will be held at Kanda Shrine in Chiyoda Ward, and it is speculated that it should be located in a special plane somewhere."
Lu Xiao glanced at the date displayed on Focus, today is May 12, 2018, and there is still a week to go before this year's Kanda Festival.
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Xiao connected Yongzhen's contact and instructed her to inform the Japan Onmyoji Association through formal channels.
Lu Xiao plans to participate in this year's Tokyo Onmyoji Conference with Yongzhen.
Due to Japan's unique customs, their mysterious world is relatively closed and they do not have close contact with the outside world.
Even so, they still know the famous Kama Taj, after all, the Supreme Mage is equivalent to the leader of the earth's mysterious world.
Suddenly learning that the new Supreme Mage was going to participate in this year's conference, the Onmyoji Association suddenly became a mess.
Lu Xiao's reason for participating in the meeting has been thought of, and he accompanied his fiancΓ©e Yongzhen to participate together.
Yongzhen's Yin-Yang Technique is self-taught through the materials recorded by Kama Taj, and it follows an unorthodox wild path.
This time it was just right for her to communicate with the local Japanese onmyoji and expand her horizons, and Lu Xiao could also use this to try to fish out Modu.
β¦β¦
The news that the Supreme Master was scheduled to participate in the Tokyo Onmyoji Conference was like a major earthquake, and it soon spread to the whole of Japan, centered in Tokyo.
In Hachioji Ward, a suburb of Tokyo, Mordo, who was meditating in a cramped apartment, opened his eyes and changed his gestures to complete a simple spell.
A quaint yellow talisman appeared in his hand out of thin air, and a row of English was written on the talisman very inconsistently.
"FiancΓ©e? Onmyoji Tournament? β
Cast a spell to burn the yellow talisman, and Mo Du lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
"My whereabouts in Tokyo exposed? No, probably not. β
"There's a trap, but it's a good opportunity."
A hint of fierceness flashed in Mo Du's eyes: "Lu, let's see which of us can calculate whom." β
