Chapter 47: Fate (11)
γHydrangeasγ
Jumping to the critical point of time again and again, he can roughly sort out Keiji Hojo's life, but neither he nor Braised Lamb Knee like this person too much, so he can't be interested, and he feels a little bored.
But the task still has to continue, otherwise they can't leave the dream, and now it is basically certain that the dark castle is the source of the dream, but Hojo Keiji easily does not use a stand-in, and immediately enters a defensive state when he is called, and Zhou Yu and Braised Lamb Knee have no way to start.
They can also choose to commit suicide and leave the dream, but they have all persevered until now, it would be a pity not to continue, the "previous" Keiji Hojo looks like he is in his forties, and Keiji Koiji is now in his thirties, and there should only be the last few left at the critical time point.
The main reason is that Charon appeared, it is necessary to stay until the end to see what will happen, the braised lamb's knee is for Charon to enter the dream with Zhou Yu, unfortunately she was also paused just now, she didn't know that Charon had come, if it wasn't for Hojo Keiji really disappeared, Xiao Keiji really had a stand-in, she would suspect that Zhou Yu was lying.
This time, they passed through the Light Gate and came to a beautifully landscaped park.
Keiji sat on a bench in the park, leaning back on the chair, looking at the mother and daughter playing in the play setting in front of him, smiling, and when the little girl on the slide looked over, he would wave his hand lightly and nod slightly.
"My wife and daughter." He looked back at Zhou Yuhe and said with his knees stewed, still smiling and smiling sweetly.
The mustache has been shaved off, the corners of his eyes have very faint crow's feet, he is not yet forty years old, his temples already have white silk, this time not only his appearance, his whole temperament has changed, even Zhou Yu has to admit that he has become a very attractive man, women should like him, right?
"Congratulations." Braised lamb knee said lightly.
"This is the rhythm of washing hands of gold plates, with a family, do you still plan to fight?" Zhou Yu also looked at the mother and daughter.
Kokeiji's wife looks like a very ordinary woman, not beautiful, and can only be described as delicate.
His daughter is quite cute, but her skin is darker, and Nibon's children are basically free-range, and nine percent of them are tanned like charcoal, and they will not reduce outdoor activities until middle school, and slowly turn white.
"Do you wash your hands in a golden basin? I'm afraid I can't do it at my current age. Xiao Jing smiled bitterly and sighed: "But after today, I am ready to be a civilian honestly, sit in the office and watch the news and speculate in stocks, and leave the business matters to the juniors to do, I haven't told Reiko about this matter, saying that it will be his birthday in a few days, so I will give it to her as a birthday gift." β
"That's not bad, that is, you have a big business today, and you have to run it yourself?" Zhou Yu heard the meaning of this sentence.
"Yes, this business is very important today, the most important thing is that there will be a betrayer who will appear, I need two to help me look behind, the person who attacked me will definitely appear, but I don't know when it is, the most suspicious person is that person, the normal fate line is that he cut me down, but this time I will let him always stand in front of me, and there is someone else who sneaks up on me." Keiji said as he pointed to a person who was on guard in the distance.
The area had been taken over by Keiji Koji, and his men were on guard so that no one could walk in.
Zhou Yu looked around and asked, "Are you in trouble now?" β
Xiao Jingji shook his head: "No, I'm just creating a tense atmosphere, the betrayer sees that I am on high alert, maybe he won't dare to do it, I know that with the protection of the two, safety should not be a problem, but I should also make some preparations within my ability, I hope the two don't mind." Xiao Jingji said very sincerely, his behavior can be seen as distrust of Zhou Yu and braised lamb knee.
"The more prepared you are, the more worry-free we will be." Zhou Yu shook his head and asked again, "What kind of business is this time?" Where to trade? It's best to get familiar with the environment first, I always feel that it won't go so well. β
"It's an arms business, I'm ready to sit in the office, there is no stand-in protection, I have to get some security for the juniors, with that batch of arms, I can sit in the office and play minesweeping with confidence, the location is in the warehouse next to the park, I have arranged for people to patrol nearby, but those people still have to leave during the transaction, so as not to be suspicious of the other party, worried that I will plot against them." Xiao Keiji has already taken care of everything, he is just afraid that someone will plot against him.
"You do arms trading and keep your wife and children nearby? What happens to their safety if something goes wrong with the transaction? Zhou Yu frowned.
"Safe?" Xiao Keiji smiled, his smile a little tired: "Since I know that there is a stand-in, what place in this world is safe?" I'm not going to keep them nearby, I'm going to take them with me, and there's the Dark Castle, and I'm the safest with them. β
"Okay, it seems that the task is for us to protect you, and you to protect your wife and children." Zhou Yu nodded.
"That's right, you don't have to worry about their safety, I don't have to worry about my own safety, that's ideal." Keiji stood up and beckoned to his child.
Zhou Yu thought about it, and swallowed the words back in his mouth again, Xiao Jingsi's little abacus made a "snap", their family was protected, who would protect the dream hunter?
But it's useless to talk to Xiao Jingji about this, anyway, the task is to protect the Dream Weaver, and it's useless to think too much.
Kokeiji's wife, Reiko Hojo, walked over with her daughter Rina Hojo, the daughter threw herself into her father's arms and was picked up, and his wife stood aside and looked at it with a smile, the picture was so beautiful that it almost blinded Zhou Yu's eyes.
"These two are the ones who have been protecting me, and thanks to them, I have everything I have today." Kokeiji introduced Zhou Yu and braised lamb knee to his wife, which was a little strange because he still didn't know their names.
Reiko Hojo bowed, thanked her, and didn't say anything more, she should be worried about the transaction of the stay, and she was a little nervous.
"It's okay, with them, I'll be fine, let's go." Keiji comforted his wife and walked to the exit of the park.
His men saw it and followed, and the group walked out of the park.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The warehouse is large, as big as a factory floor, with some wooden crates stacked inside, but there is still a huge amount of space, and it is indeed an ideal place to trade.
Xiao Jingsi ordered his subordinates to wait in the distance, and only their family of three, Zhou Yu and Braised Lamb Knee were left in the warehouse, as well as some people who had been following Xiao Jingsi for a long time, all of whom had met last time, and they thanked Zhou and Braised in the warehouse.
After a while, two trucks drove into the warehouse, and the car was parked in the center of the warehouse, and more than two dozen people jumped out of the pocket.
They were all Westerners, they looked like well-trained soldiers, but they were all dressed in civilian clothes and carrying guns, and finally an old man of about sixty years old came down, walked up to Xiao Keiji, shook hands, and the two talked in a low voice, and the old man whistled, waved his hand, and let his men unload.
One after another metal boxes were unloaded from the cargo pocket, about one meter two long and half a meter wide, and the old man casually opened one of the boxes, and there were twenty pistols neatly placed in it, inserted in a black sponge.
The boxes in the second truck were of a different color, and the boxes were much smaller, and they contained boxes of bullets.
Keiji opened another box, took out a micro-punch from it, pulled out the magazine and looked at it, took out the matching bullets and loaded a few rounds, fired a few shots at the pile of wooden boxes, and turned to a man and nodded.
An SUV drove in from the outside, only the driver and the passenger seat were occupied, and after the two got out of the car, they took off four long handbags from the back seat, unzipped them, and filled them with dollars.
The old man smiled and asked his subordinates to take the money bag and start counting the money, and Keiji Koji also asked his subordinates to check the guns and ammunition, and everything went in an orderly manner.
But the one who should have come will still come, first the sound of tires rubbing the ground sounded, and then two cars rushed into the warehouse, and after entering the door, the people in the car jumped directly into the car, and the car went straight to the truck, and at the same time of impact, there was an explosion.
Everything came very suddenly, and the only people who knew that something would happen were Kokeiji, Zhou Yu and Braised Lamb Knee, and when they rushed into the warehouse in the car, they took Reiko Hojo and Rina Hojo and retreated, the explosion was deafening, the old man was killed on the spot, and the three parties fought together.
Fires, heat waves, flying burning dollars, guns and ammunition drowning in the fires......
The people on Xiao Keiji's side have gathered, no one cares about guns and money, as long as people live, they can get anything again, they have guns in their hands, but there are not many, anyone who dares to approach this side will be shot.
The walls of the warehouse were broken, and stand-in messengers rushed in from all directions, and Zhou Yu, Braised Lamb Knee, and Xiao Keiji stood in a triangle, surrounding the women and children.
This time the battle was much more exciting, Zhou Yu kept his eyes closed, fighting, he suddenly turned around and grabbed Reiko Hojo's hand.
With a "dang bang", the dagger slipped from Reiko Hojo's hand and fell to the ground, the tip of the knife pointed at Keiji-chan's feet.
Xiao Jingji turned around, looked at his wife blankly, and asked, "Why?" β
"I don't want you to venture outside again, and in a wheelchair later, I can push you." Reiko Hojo said calmly.
No matter how ordinary a woman is, it is difficult to be ordinary after marrying someone like Xiao Keiji.
Xiao Jingji laughed: "So that's the case, I would have known that I wouldn't hide it from you." β
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly turned around on his knees and slashed off his left hand with a sword.
