274. Inside Sensoji Temple
Sensoji Temple is the oldest temple in Tokyo and a popular tourist attraction, with nearly 30 million people coming here every year to take pictures, especially around New Year's Day.
Today, a long cordon was erected here, and the Metropolitan Police Department brought in a large number of personnel to maintain order and safety, and outside there were a swarm of reporters and citizens, forming a raging tide.
The streets and highways around Sensoji Temple were all cleared and blocked, and black cars stopped in front of this ancient temple with a long winding line, and many big people wearing black suits and solemn faces stepped out of the car, and they were all mourners who came to mourn.
In addition to the relatives and friends of the Shishida family, there are also elites and celebrities from all walks of life, and even the governor (mayor) of Tokyo personally came to lay wreaths and couplets, and it is said that the prime minister took time out of his busy schedule to call Shishida Shingen and prepare to present a medal to commemorate the outstanding achievements of Shishida Shiro.
The fact that a person can have such a sensational pomp after death is enough to prove how prominent the power and status of the Shishida family is in this country.
Although 80 percent of the Japanese believe in Shintoism, Buddhist funerals are generally practiced after their deaths, and the body of Shidaichi Hiroshi is placed in the central hall of Sensoji Temple, and the sound of chanting can be heard in the main hall.
Rogan stepped out of a black car, he had already booked his plane ticket, but the sudden death of Shishida Lang disrupted his plans, and it was reasonable that he would not leave until after the funeral.
The tycoons and celebrities of the business and political circles have arrived, entering the Sensoji Temple, which has long been blocked and emptied, and there are statues of gods on both sides of the gate engraved with the four characters of "Wind and Thunder God Gate", which is the statue of Nioh who guards Buddhism, with horizontal eyebrows and vertical eyes, and closed lips; The other is majestic and evil.
A huge lantern weighing 670 kilograms hangs above the gate, which is very eye-catching, followed by Yukio, who is wearing a black kimono, Rogan also walks into Sensoji Temple, and the bodyguards on both sides of the road are holding submachine guns in a solemn look.
Coming to the pavilion deep in the courtyard, the men of the Yashida clan were dressed in suits, the women were dressed in kimonos, and the monks in yellow robes and white hats were surrounded by a group, and Logan's eyes were drawn to the majestic armor standing next to the statue of Shishida Ichiro.
"That suit of armor belongs to the Silver Samurai, and he will stand there forever guarding the soul of the elder." Xue Xu explained softly.
The Silver Samurai is the most powerful warrior in the Shida family, and it is like a legendary existence that no one has ever seen with their own eyes.
Standing in the crowd, Logan's brows furrowed, since he came to Tokyo, he had fallen into an indescribable confusion, a sense of danger that seemed to be around him, as if he was in a dark valley, there were unknown dangers in all directions, as if he was being stared at by the covetous gaze of a hunter.
Rogan's mind was full of confused thoughts, at this time, under the guidance of the monk, Mariko, the granddaughter of Shidaichi Lang, gradually came to the statue to bow and bow, he collected his mood, anyway, he would leave in a few days.
"Wait!" Logan inadvertently caught a glimpse of the hideous tattoo on the monk's arm.
Keen intuition drove him out of the crowd, ignoring the scolding of the bodyguard behind him, he grabbed the monk who was exposed, who knew that the other party directly pulled out the firearm from the wide monk's robe, and the bullet carrying strong kinetic energy shot directly through his lower abdomen.
As if the spark had detonated the explosives, the crowd screamed in panic, and for a time the gunfire was loud, continuous, and they were attacked unexpectedly, and the bodyguards around were shot and fell, and the monks who were gathered in a group lifted their robes, and the vicious and hideous blue and black tattoos were undoubtedly revealed.
If it had been a normal change, Logan would have been under the dense rain of bullets and bullets, showing a pair of Edelman alloy claws and rushing up to kill, but an inexplicable sense of weakness haunted his whole body, and in a trance, Mariko was kidnapped and taken away by a gang of bandits.
The silver claws pierced the flesh, Logan gasped for a few breaths, and finally regained a little strength, and the Erdman alloy claws stabbed through the chest of the bandit in front of him, and he looked around, and the Sensoji Temple was in chaos, like a boiling oil pot, and the sound of gunfire and screams echoed.
In his long career, Wolverine has never encountered such a situation, as if he was sick, always full of energy, strong resilience, these innate talents have all disappeared, as if they never existed.
"What the hell is wrong with me?"
Logan cursed in a low voice, seeing that Mariko was taken away by the bandits and was about to leave his sight, he immediately struggled to rush over, but was pulled by a strong arm.
"I advise you to take a break." Sean held Wolverine, who was gasping for breath, and turned his head to look at the little girl in a baseball cap, "I'll leave it to you, restrain yourself, don't make it too bloody." ”
Izumi Yoshimura, who had messy short hair covering his eyes, pursed his lips and trotted to catch up with the gunmen who had reached the outskirts of Sensoji Temple, she was now the "experimental material" under Ambrera's name, and in addition to cooperating with Sean's experimental testing, she also had to do some errands.
Thinking of the other party's promise, Fang Cunquan's heart flashed with a little bit of hope, if he could get rid of the identity of "meow" and return to the life of a normal person, even if it was worth paying more.
"Why are you here?"
Logan squinted at the young man, who had taken the time to go back to school, and had naturally heard a series of exaggerated legends about Sean, similar to punching Stryker, kicking Magneto, and the fraternity going up in smoke.
It's like a crappy story in a third-rate comic.
"Be more respectful to your savior."
Holding a three-hundred-pound Logan in one hand, Sean walked through Sensoji Temple as if he were strolling around, but all the gunmen in his way were bounced away by an invisible force field.
The two made their way through the chaotic crowd to the five-storied pagoda in the south corner of the temple, the second tallest tower in Japan that burned down during the Great Tokyo Air Raid, and the famous Asakusa Shrine in the northeast corner, where Tokugawa Hidetada, the shogun, once enshrined his father, Tokugawa Ieyasu.
"Haven't you noticed? Logan, you're weak right now. ”
Sean looked at this strong and reckless man, Logan has lost three times in his life, family, ability, life, if he hadn't intervened, this brave and fierce Wolverine would have lost his ability to heal himself, and was even almost deprived of his life by Shiro Taji.
"Damn, how can this be?"
Rogan leaned against the wooden beam of the five-storied pagoda, cold sweat on his forehead, and the abundant energy in his body dissipated. He looked up at Sean, his vision suddenly blurred, like a shaky lens, and finally cut straight to black.
"Rest for now, you don't need to take care of the rest."
Sean looked up and saw that there were four scythes stuck in the top of the towering ancient tower, and there were all kinds of strange theories, one was to seal the evil spirits of Prince Shotoku, and there was another legend that if you saw the scythe upward, it would be a good year, and down it would be a desolate year.
"Shishida Lang faked his death to deceive everyone, and then deprived Logan of his self-healing factor to regain his youth and life, while his son Shida Shingen colluded with the gang and wanted to seize power in one fell swoop, the two parties intrigued, and the hydra was eyeing ......"
In the turbulent city of Tokyo, a huge cloud is shrouded in the undercurrent, and according to Izumi Yoshimura, the other two mews roam the city in the night, constantly hunting, evading the pursuit of C-C-G.
"Then I'm going to be on the stage." The young man chuckled, and his small figure stood under the towering ancient tower, and the maple leaves of the mountains in the distance danced like fire.
