There was a knock on the door, and Shen Hao hurriedly went over to look at the door. The moment the door opened, the first person to see it was Hugo. He smiled and said hello, and Shen Hao was so excited that he almost gave him a big hug.

Hugo was very indifferent, patted Shen Hao, and walked into the house. He was followed by Burton, but his expression was more serious and he looked very unhappy. Behind him was a young man of about twenty years old, tall and thin, with a blank face.

I've seen him in a video recorded by a model airplane, and it's Shen Mengzhe.

The last to walk in were the twin sisters, who bowed politely as they entered the room, then closed the door and stood in the corner.

When I saw Hugo, I immediately got up to greet him and shook hands with Hugo warmly.

"Are you alright?" I asked, and at the same time I pressed my index finger and ring finger twice on Hugo's hand, which I was holding. This is our D.R.T. exclusive way of communicating and delivering simple messages without revealing them.

I said, "Are you safe?" ”

This is to prevent the demon concubine from doing anything to them, such as giving them some toxins, or tying them up ** or something. At the same time, I am also testing whether this Hugo is real, I have been missing for so many days, I am afraid that what I am looking at is an impostor.

Hugo smiled and said to me, "I'm fine, I've worked hard for you all these days!" As he spoke, he pressed his thumb on the back of my hand three times, which means "safe".

I relieved myself and went to shake Burton's hand again. Burton was visibly unnatural at the sight of me, and he looked down at me and said, "I'm sorry! Because of my mistakes, I fell into the hands of my opponent and caused you trouble. ”

Seeing him blame himself so much, I hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't mind, when the tiger is still napping, there is nothing to be ashamed of." ”

Burton stopped talking, looked at the demon concubine and the others, and had to say, "Alas! I still know too little about the history of the East! ”

His words made me a little surprised, what does it mean to "know too little about the history of the East"? That's a bit of a brainless statement.

I went to shake hands with Shen Mengzhe again, but he flashed to the side and asked me very unkindly, "Who are you?" What do you mean by bringing me here? ”

This made me even more puzzled, looking at Shen Mengzhe's appearance, as if he didn't understand what was going on at all. But I didn't have time to ask questions, so I withdrew my hand and let Hugo and them sit down first.

When I sat down again, the demon concubine said to me, "I have fulfilled my promise to you, but what do I want?" ”

I said, "Don't worry! I'll ask you two more questions. ”

The demon concubine was obviously not worried that I would be cheating, so she leaned back on the sofa lazily, nodded and said, "You ask!" ”

"First things first!" I said, "Where did you find Shen Mengzhe?" Or who took him away? ”

The Demon Concubine groaned slightly and said to me, "I'm sorry, I can't answer this question. Because when handing him over to me, the other party had an agreement with me not to reveal a word about them! ”

This answer was beyond my expectations, and I glanced at Shen Mengzhe, who was impatiently walking back and forth in the room at the moment, looking around.

Suddenly I sensed that something was wrong, and immediately turned my gaze back to the demon concubine.

The Demon Concubine lowered her voice and said directly to me: "Don't guess, the memories he has experienced these days have been completely erased!" ”

I was taken aback, no wonder Shen Mengzhe looked ignorant. My face changed slightly, and my tone was a little angry, and I asked in a low voice, "What did you do to him?" ”

The demon concubine said flatly: "You don't have to worry, only the memories of the past few days have been erased, and it has not hurt his brain." And it's not something I did, I don't have that ability yet. ”

I looked at Shen Mengzhe and suddenly shouted at him, "Hey! What's your name? ”

Shen Mengzhe was startled by my stern tone and serious expression, and he reluctantly replied, "Shen Mengzhe! ”

My expression became more serious, my voice was a little colder, and I said, "What are you doing in Japan?" ”

Shen Mengzhe was stared at by me and felt uncomfortable, so he had to say: "I came to Japan to study, at the National University of Tokyo, I don't believe you can ask." ”

I continued to ask him uneasily, "Then how did you get here?" ”

Shen Mengzhe thought for a moment in confusion and said, "How do I know? I remember going back to the dormitory to sleep after playing ball with my classmates, but as soon as I woke up, she ......" He pointed at the demon concubine and continued: "I was taken to a place I didn't know, and then I was brought here." ”

I can't imagine that he really doesn't remember what happened these days, no wonder the other party is willing to give him to the demon concubine so easily.

However, I think there are very few organizations in the world that can erase the memory of a certain period of time in the human brain at will, and there are few organizations in the world that have this ability.

It seems that the demon concubine will not say anything if she asks again, so I have to ask the second question: "Is this matter related to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries?" ”

Hearing the name of "Mitsubishi Heavy Industries", a light flashed in the eyes of the demon concubine again. She was silent for a long time before she replied, "No!" ”

I was skeptical, and I wanted to ask again, but suddenly Hugo next to me patted me and said, "Don't ask again!" ”

I looked at Hugo in amazement, and Hugo shook his head at me. I couldn't figure out why for a while, but Hugo's words were like orders, and I didn't dare to disobey, so I had to get up and walk towards the rockery bonsai placed by the window.

At the foot of the rockery, there are two old men carved in stone, who are sitting on the stone and playing Go. I picked up the old man on the left and pulled out the stone he was sitting on from the soil, which was a horseshoe crab that was as black as a duck's egg.

I wiped it clean with a cloth and placed it in front of the princess.

The demon concubine didn't take it, and glanced at Xiao Lin Lan. Xiao Lin Lan picked it up and observed it carefully, and then nodded to the demon concubine.

At this time, the demon concubine got up directly and said to me, "Then our transaction is completed, and I will take my leave." With that, she turned and left. Kobayashi Lan put away the horseshoe crab pill, nodded slightly to us, followed behind the demon concubine, and beckoned the twin sisters out of the room together.

When the princesses left, I asked Hugo why he didn't let me continue asking. Hugo whispered that this matter was complicated, and the top priority was to take Shen Mengzhe back to China immediately, and talk about it when he got back.

I was confused, but I could only obey, so I called An Beimo and Qixing and asked them to come back.

Everyone gathered and told each other about their experiences over the past few days.

Hugo stayed in the hideout that day to direct our operations, and Burton was in charge of perimeter guards.

As soon as we came out of the woods, Hugo suddenly felt a tremor in the mountains, and the house began to shake and tilt, and even began to collapse in some places. Hugo immediately thought that he had been attacked, and told us not to return, but before he could finish speaking, the call was interrupted.

Hugo hurriedly threw down the walkie-talkie and rushed out of the house, and at a glance saw Burton lying on the ground, unconscious. When he wanted to evacuate with Burton, he found that the entire courtyard had risen into the air, hanging in the air like a science fiction movie. After a while, I found out that someone had hooked the entire small courtyard with a heavy crane.

At that time, Hugo naturally didn't know what was going on, but he was already very high off the ground, and Burton was unconscious, so he couldn't leave if he wanted to.

Later, when the crane lowered them, they had already arrived in a remote place, and dozens of men in black with guns surrounded them, and when they could not resist, Hugo was taken away in a black hood.

After that, he was locked up in a dark room, completely isolated, and no one spoke to him except for some simple food served every day.

A few days later, he was suddenly taken out of the dark room and head-on to another place, where no one spoke to him. But Hugo could feel that the man who took him away seemed to be in a hurry, as if he had fallen into the hands of another group of people.

Then he went to another isolated room, but this time the treatment was good, there was a table and a bed, a lamp on the roof, and the food was good, but no one spoke to him.

It wasn't until three days ago that Kobayashi Lan went to see him and told him about the cause and effect, and Hugo knew the ins and outs of the matter. It was the Demon Concubine who sent someone to rescue him and Burton from Zuo Majie.

It's only been a little over a few days since I came to Japan, and I've experienced so much. Visit Sakurada Girls' School at night, venture into the suicide forest, and go out to sea to explore the nameless desert island. Although I couldn't learn the details of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, I finally rescued Shen Mengzhe, and the task was half completed.

After this incident, it is impossible for Shen Mengzhe to stay in Japan anymore. So Hugo told us to arrange to return to China immediately, as soon as possible. We've all been exposed, and there's no point in staying.

I told Hugo about Haruko Sakai, and Hugo also knew that the horseshoe crab was a very magical thing, and maybe he could find some clues in Haruko Sakai, so he approved of my decision.

After the arrangements were made for the return to Japan, I called Kobayashi and said that we would leave Japan in two days and return to China, and asked her to arrange it for Haruko Sakai, and we would meet at the airport then. Kobayashi Lan thanked her again happily on the phone, and said that she would be on time.

Burton was still depressed, and I had time to enlighten him. However, I was a little disappointed in Burton's performance, the dignified British agent was put down so easily, if the other party really wanted to be unfavorable to Hugo, where would there be life at this moment.

I remembered that on the day Burton returned, he said something inexplicable and asked him why he said that he knew too little about Oriental culture.

Burton said that he was hiding outside the house to guard Hugo that day, and suddenly he vaguely saw someone burning incense not far away, and he wondered if it was some traditional Japanese ritual. Who knew that after looking at it for a while, he felt his body stiff, confused, and fainted unconsciously.

When he woke up, he was locked up in a dark room, and thinking back to what had happened that day, Burton thought he must have fallen for some sorcerism.

Since ancient times, there have been legends of all kinds of strange spells in Eastern countries, such as China and Japan, and many Europeans believe it to be true, so Burton regrets that he knows so little about Eastern culture that he does not understand what is going on.

I was a little suspicious that Burton wasn't going to be a trick, I was sure. As for the incense he saw, I remember Kobayashi Lan said that in ancient Japan, before the house moved, it seemed that incense was burned to worship God. Perhaps what he saw was the work of the workers who were preparing to start construction on Hugo's house.

And if Hugo fainted unconsciously, it must be someone else. And who can make an agent get hit without knowing it, I suddenly thought of those female ninjas under the Demon Princess.
