Chapter 24: The Pioneers Starting from Scratch (Part I)

Celti Strulson is an outsider to the city of Ikebukuro, a tourist who should have wandered around looking for her lost head, and she never imagined that she would settle somewhere for long.

However, Selti, who had always felt her head in Ikebukuro, finally chose to stay here indefinitely, and then a superpowered person suddenly appeared to confirm her thoughts.

At first, Selti didn't actually have much hope, after all, he was disconnected from his head, and he was just looking for Ikebukuro with his own feelings, but even if it was just a city, it had a large number of houses, thousands of aisles, and countless warehouses to make this operation like looking for a needle in a haystack, which was very difficult.

Thinking like this, Selti continued to stay on the roof, and she confirmed that the room Gu Wu was in had calmed down, so she was not so anxious.

If you do find your head after that, will you leave the city again and embark on a journey that should have continued?

However, Selti has no end at all, her life, experiences, stories, and even legends are like a passing cloud, because she is not human, and sooner or later the things called the past will be swallowed up.

With a sigh in her heart, Selti suddenly thought of Silla Kishitani.

Obviously she didn't have a head, but her ability to think was not cut off, so much so that she began to measure the status of Silla in her heart.

The two met a long time ago, and Silla at that time was no different from an ordinary teenager, but he didn't expect to become an adult who was trusted by others in the blink of an eye.

There is always growth, but he still retains his previous habits and that naughty personality.

Speak straightforwardly to your friends, don't hide your thoughts, and be admirable to be honest.

And then there's ......

Selti knew that Silla liked him, and he often confessed it loudly, but Selti, who lacked a head and thought he was incomplete, could not accept his feelings frankly.

Not only that, but the current time of Selti is different from him, or different from that of humans, and Selti, who has been recorded as a legend, is helpless about it.

Either way, it's the immediate issues that matter.

His own goals, Silla's thoughts, and the various stories that will happen in the future are all based on what is happening in the present.

If it had been before, Selti didn't think she would have been bothered by these questions, and she had to think about it because it would be meaningless to her.

Originally, Selti had a duty similar to that of the Grim Reaper, and it was obviously very unreasonable to stay in one place.

But so what? Rather than this question, the current Celti wants to find his head and then think about his future path.

She's been in Ikebukuro for a long time, and if she ever sets out on the road again......

Will everything start all over again?

"I'll go with you!!"

For some reason, Selty thought that Silla would say such things......

I have to say that Silla is a human who often makes Selti confused, and of course she doesn't hate Silla like that.

So to speak...... If you don't hate it, you like it?

Human beings have the saying 'antonym', and the opposite of hate is 'not hate', which is made of negation, and this 'not hating' may be understood as a kind of liking.

The real situation will have to be thought about later, including the question of whether she will embark on the journey again after recovering her head.

————

When humans lie, they always show some horses' feet, such as scratching their ears and cheeks, shaking their legs and feet, and a series of unnatural human movements.

In addition, there are some physiological changes, such as increased respiratory rate, abnormal blood volume, increased pulse, increased blood pressure, etc., so polygraphs can come in handy to detect the 'messages' brought by these changes.

At present, Gu Wu has not been put on a lie detector, but the surrounding Li Nan Club cadres are all old drivers, and it is not easy to deceive them.

Gu Wu, who called himself a 'superpower', didn't actually lie, but just coaxed the group of guys in front of him in terms of the duration of his ability, which is why he needed to communicate with them confidently to prove that he was 'dangerous'.

At the same time, the people knocked down by Sailti not long ago, the car that he knocked down, coupled with the entrance that Gu Wu destroyed and the courtyard that was shattered, this series of supernatural phenomena were Gu Wu's hole cards, so that Li Nan would not dare to easily go against him.

Of course, Gu Wu is not the kind of guy who has to make inches, and after bluffing the cadres, he still plans to talk about it.

After all, Kasumigaoka and Eiri are still in their hands, and if they are too aggressive, it will have the opposite effect.

As the saying goes, a dog jumps over a wall in a hurry, just like the attack that happened just now, even if Gu Wu had the strength to destroy the entire house, they might still attack desperately.

In layman's terms, that is, 'the soft are afraid of the hard, the hard are afraid of the horizontal, and the horizontal is afraid of the dead', Gu Wuke has no intention of fighting to the death with these guys......

Finally came here for a vacation, Gu Wu was looking forward to continuing to travel with Xia Zhiqiu and the others, instead of doing things here.

With a long breath, Gu Wu, who was sitting down, picked up the teacup that had accidentally fallen to the ground just now, and at the same time focused on Su Nan Daoyuan's body.

Cornan Dogen is the president of the Kuriyasu Society, and there is no doubt that he is the person with the highest power.

"Young man, you don't look like the kind of person who would act violently, and it is true that the outside cannot define the inside."

Su Nan Daoyuan, who said this, sat down on the cushion opposite Gu Wu, and went up without the slightest timidity.

The cadres saw that the chairman was so close to Gu Wu, the enemy, and Aosaki Hiiragi was the first to react.

"President! This bastard is dangerous! ”

"It's okay Aosaki, I saw everything that happened in the entrance, and if he wanted to, he would have destroyed this place a long time ago."

Indeed, Gu Wu affirmed this analysis, because no matter how weak Frieza was, destroying one or two compounds was just a snap of his fingers.

Qingqi Hiiragi, who was ordered to retreat by Su Nan Daoyuan, glared at Gu Wu.

Ignoring the thoughts of the cadres, Gu Wu planned to quickly solve this problem and put an end to this incident.

"Mr. Su Nan, I didn't have the idea of being an enemy of you, but you captured my friend without making it clear, this is not a trivial matter, right?"

"That's true, there were other organizations operating in Ikebukuro at the time, so they saw you as a companion on the enemy's side."

"Then make it clear now, I'm not an enemy of the Li Nan Society."

Hearing Gu Wu's explanation, Su Nan Daoyuan, who was touching his chin, asked the others to prepare a new pot of hot tea.

The tea was brewed and served, and a young maid not only poured tea for Gu Wu and Su Nan Daoyuan, but also prepared cups for the surrounding cadres.

The heat kept coming out of the teacup, slowly disappearing into the air like green smoke.

The atmosphere can affect a person's state of mind, and a cup of hot tea can indeed alleviate the hard situation on the scene.

But this is also something that can't be helped, even if Gu Wu didn't kill those Li Nan Guild members and cadres, for them, Gu Wu is also an intruder, an enemy, and an exclusion target.

There is an outsider in the yard of his house who is pointing fingers, and at the same time there is no way to deal with this person, I believe that ordinary people will feel angry......

Staring at the hot tea in front of him, Su Nan Daoyuan seemed to understand something, he picked up the tea poured out of the same teacup and took a sip.

"Alright, let's continue our conversation."

Tea is no problem......

Although Gu Wu had seen some movies of doing things in a teapot, he thought that if the old gentleman in front of him planned to kill himself, it would be impossible for him to come out in person.

"...... is your name?"

"Gu Wu, just call me Gu Wu."

"Then you're here to bring your friends back, right?"

"Yes, I believe there was a big misunderstanding between us, and there is no need to involve anyone else."

Gu Wuke, who went directly to the topic, didn't have ink, and the sooner he got Xia Zhiqiu and them back, the better.

"You know what? Recently, in addition to the Kurikunan Association, there are other youth groups in Ikebukuro that are doing some very bad things, the Monocolor Gang...... Although they are ordinary gangsters, they must have a leader with certain leadership skills, what do you think of those people? ”

What do I think?

The sudden question made Gu Wu stunned for a moment, after all, he wanted to know where the Xiazhiqiu and them were, not guess riddles with the old man in front of him.

But this is someone else's territory, and at the same time, Su Nan Daoyuan is also the president, so it is impossible to say that he does not give face.

In that case......

After thinking about it for a while, Gu Wu, who subconsciously took a sip of tea, gave his own answer.

"In my eyes, they are an unstable group, but since they can continue to grow, it means that their leaders have a certain intelligence, or command ability."

"After all, there are many adults in the Ducolor Gang, and they will not be deceived ignorantly."

"That being said, groups like the Monolithic Gang will fall apart if they encounter any huge changes."

In Gu Wu's view, the existence of the Duse Gang needs leaders, and what he just said about 'falling apart' does not mean that the organization has disappeared, but that the interior has become fragmented.

Just like playing a team game, if you have a commander, the battle will go much smoother.

Gu Wu's speech made Su Nan Daoyuan laugh, and he took another sip of tea.

"You're right, and Li Nan will be different from the Ducolor Gang."

As Su Nan Dogen said, Li Nan will be 'orthodox' in some ways.

When Gu Wu was talking to Su Nan Daoyuan, the other cadres didn't interject at all, they just sat in place and listened.

"Li Nan will have its own rules, and this rule is not disturbed by outsiders, and at the same time, each member also has the work that should be done and the responsibilities that should be followed, just like society, it is not time that makes the world work, but every human being who is a gear."

It's a bit of an idealist, but that's true.

"Gu Wu, do you consider yourself a member of society?"

"Let's ...... that"

"You are part of society, and I am part of the Li Nan Society, the president."

Su Nan Daoyuan, who was so emphasized, paused for a moment, and then added

"You and I have our own responsibilities, don't we?"

Speaking of this, Gu Wu somewhat understood what he meant......

No matter how Li Nan would say it, it was also an organization with a head and a face, and Gu Wu's existence broke their original status, and this kind of flamboyant approach would not be recognized by others in the organization.

To put it bluntly, Su Nan Daoyuan will not compromise, it is impossible to let Xia Zhiqiu and Yingli Li go and let them return to Gu Wu's side.

After all, it is necessary for Awanan Dogen, as the president of the Kurinan Society, to maintain his image and ensure that the organization can function normally.

Gu Wu's threat seemed to them to be commonplace, and it was naturally unrealistic to want to ask for it unilaterally.

However, Gu Wu didn't have the boxes with the goods that these people needed, so he couldn't reach any conclusion if he continued to talk.

But......!

But Su Nan Daoyuan gave Gu Wu a hint, and Gu Wu, who was also an agent, also understood this hint.

Gu Wu wants to give Su Nan Daoyuan a step down, and Su Nan Daoyuan will give Gu Wu a little help, which is roughly what it means.

Pondering......

Silence......

Calculating......

Celti is very strong, but Gu Wu may not be able to be completely protected by her, and it is obviously not very reliable to forcibly threaten them.

In fact, Gu Wu had already posed a threat to them, otherwise Su Nan Daoyuan would not have come out to talk in person.

From here, you can see the cunning of Su Nan Dogen.

He understood that Li Nan would not be able to defeat Gu Wu, so he sought a 'balance point' on the premise of having hostages.

"I apologize for everything I've done before, and I'll find a way to pay for the money for the repairs, and I've caused you trouble."

"No, don't worry about it, I can afford the money spent on maintenance, and we only need to cooperate once, Gu Wu."

Su Nan Daoyuan, who laughed again, stretched out his right hand, and Gu Wu also shook it with a smile.

The old fox, sure enough, is the old fox.

"Take them out."

After a while, Su Nan Daoyuan asked Kazemoto Longqiu to act.

It was about three minutes before footsteps rang out in the hallway outside.

The door was opened, and Chilin Haiyue, who had not appeared before, appeared in front of Gu Wu, originally monitoring the Xiazhiqiu and them.

Soon Kasumigaoka and Ying Lili also entered the room, and they showed surprised expressions when they saw Gu Wu, and finally led a little girl to close the distance with him.

The little girl's name is Su Nanqian, and the relationship between the three of them looks pretty good......

"Yo, you're the superpower."

Chi Lin greeted Gu Wu, but he was ignored by Gu Wu.

"Are you alright?"

"Mr. Gu Wu is actually here, don't worry about us, after being taken away and transferred here, they took care of it......"

"Care?"

Hearing Gu Wu's inquiry, Ying Lili responded while patting Gu Wu on the shoulder

"It's coming too slowly! But I was so happy to meet Mr. Gu Wu! As for the rest, we don't know! ”

So Gu Wu looked at Su Nan Daoyuan, he held the teacup and explained

"That's what we're going to talk about next, now you can take a good break."

"Okay......"

Gu Wu was also a little tired, and he planned to meet with Sayrtie to plan his future actions.
