ACT.267 The Son of Heaven
"You're back just in time, come and have a look."
Tatsuraku had just left Muroto's research institute, and when he returned to the company, he was grabbed by the arm of the anxious wooden gagi standing at the door and walked towards the living room.
"What's going on?"
Chen Luo, who was pulled, asked suspiciously as he walked towards the living room with Mu Geng.
Under normal circumstances, it is rare to see Mu Geng so anxious, and Chen Luo faintly felt that this incident should have something to do with yesterday's incident.
"Are you Mr. Tatsuro? I am the ruler of this region, the Son of Heaven, please advise me when we meet for the first time. β
A white-haired and purple-eyed girl wearing a white high-end dress appeared on the video phone and said to Chen Luo with an elegant smile, her voice was pleasant.
"It turned out to be the Holy Son of Heaven, please advise. I don't know what the Holy Son of Heaven is looking for me? β
Chen Luo hurriedly saluted and asked politely.
As the supreme ruler of the Edo region, whether or not the Son of Heaven held real power, he should at least show due respect on the surface. And according to Chenluo's information, the Son of Heaven still belongs to a relatively benevolent ruler, which is much stronger than the dictators in other regions.
"Now there is a matter that I would like to entrust to our Edo District police, and I hope that you, Mr. Tatsu, will be able to come to the Ministry of Defense with Miss Tendo and your initiator, Ranhara Noonzhu, to accept the commission."
The Son of Heaven said indifferently, but Chen Luo could faintly feel that she was very nervous now.
"Naturally, I'll rush over with the president now."
Chen Luo nodded and said.
"Thank you, goodbye to the Ministry of Defense."
The Son of Heaven bowed gracefully, and then turned off the videophone.
"Entrusted? It seems that we are not the only company that has accepted the commission, otherwise the Holy Son of Heaven would not have said that, and there would be no need to go to the Ministry of Defense...... And since we all need to go to the Ministry of Defense to accept the commission, I guess this commission will not be easy, and there should be a very important matter waiting for us. β
Chen Luo gently stroked his forehead and said to Mu Geng.
"Hmm. The Son of Heaven just called, and you're back. Otherwise, I really have a headache, Lord Shengtianzi took the initiative to find a small company like us, it is not a trivial matter, let's hurry up and go over. β
Mu Geng nodded in agreement with Chenluo's statement. Said with some sorrow.
Tiantong Civil Security Company, although Chen Luo has completed a lot of commissions, there are also some not small incidents. However, in the huge Edo area, the reputation of the Tendo Civil Security Company is not very large, and at most it is a second-rate police company. Especially the number of personnel in the Tiantong Civil Security Company, compared with other police companies, the number of police is too small, and there is only one person, Chen Luo.
If it weren't for the fact that Chen Luo had completed some of the more difficult commissions, and if yesterday's battle with the protozoa might have been known to the people above, I'm afraid that no one would have known about the existence of this civilian security company.
Now the Son of Heaven has even come to the door of the Tiantong Civil Security Company. Either the Son of Heaven knew that Chenluo's strength was unfathomable, or the Son of Heaven had almost searched for all the civilian security companies. Whatever the reason, this is a very important event, and it may even be related to the survival of Edo City.
"Yanzhu should be on her way back now, I'll call her first and ask ......"
Just when Chen Luo was about to take out his mobile phone to contact Lan Yuan Yanzhu. Outside the door, Lan Yuan Yanzhu's energetic "I'm back" and Elena's slightly weak voice came.
Usually they go straight back to their homes, but today they happened to plan to eat out, which saved a lot of trouble. However, it was obvious that he wanted to go to a nearby restaurant to eat, so he had to give up.
After handing over Esther and Restia from the common room, Chenluo and the others also sat around the living room.
"Just now, Lord Shengtianzi looked for our company to issue a commission, and I am going to go to the Ministry of Defense with Yanzhu and Mu Geng now. Elena, you and Restia and Esther stay in the company for now. If you have lunch, you can eat it yourself, and remember to lock the door when you leave. β
Chenluo said to Elena, who was obediently sitting on the sofa.
"Yes, got it."
Elena nodded obediently.
As for Restia and Esther, they didn't protest either, although the two sword elves were a little unhappy that they couldn't have lunch with Chenluo, but at least they were still within the scope of acceptance.
"Hmm...... It's really, so annoying. The concubine was still looking forward to the morning......"
Lan Yuan Yanzhu pursed his lips a little unhappily and said, but he didn't protest or anything, and still agreed to Chen Luo's arrangement.
"Alright, don't make a fuss. After completing the commission, I will naturally take you to eat a good meal, but at least I can only eat some bento boxes and the like at noon today to fill my stomach first. And there may be some delay in the middle of accepting the commission. So I'm going to grieve you. β
Chen Luo touched Lan Yuan Yanzhu's head with some doting, and said comforting Lan Yuan Yanzhu.
"Well~~ There's really no way, since Luo you are like this, the concubine can only accept her fate, who let the concubine be your fiancΓ©e?"
Lan Yuan Yanzhu shrugged his shoulders and said with an adult look.
"I think it's better to take your last sentence back."
Chen Luo smiled bitterly and shook his head, he didn't bother to worry about Lan Yuan Yanzhu, and walked outside with Mu Geng.
Seeing this, Lan Yuan Yanzhu, who was self-absorbed, also hurriedly followed the two, shouting "Don't leave the concubine, you unkind guy", and ran outside......
After getting out of the taxi, Chen Luo looked at the tall and magnificent Defense Province in front of him and couldn't help but smack his tongue.
"Is this the Ministry of Defense? Sure enough, it is a very important place, built so tall and splendid. β
Lan Yuan Yanzhu looked at the Ministry of Defense intently and said.
"Okay, don't mess around, we should be considered late, let's go in quickly."
Chen Luo touched Lan Yuan Yanzhu's head, and pulled Lan Yuan Yanzhu and Mu Geng to walk inside.
"Confirm that the identity is correct, and you can pass."
When passing through the gate, two security guards stopped the three of Chenluo, and waited for Mu Geng and Chenluo to show their licenses before allowing the three to pass.
There is no doubt about the importance of the Ministry of Defense, not to mention the importance of the safety of the people inside. If it weren't for the important matter entrusted to the police company this time, Chen Luo and they might not be qualified to enter this place in their lives.
After passing through the heavy guards, Chen Luo and the three of them entered the conference room this time, and the conference room was already full of people. Judging from the aura emanating from the body and the appearance of the dress, except for an officer standing at the front, all the others are the bosses of various police companies and police officers.
Many of these policemen exude a terrifying aura, but they are not intimidating because of their strength, but because of their rough temperament.
"From these guys, I seem to understand why those police officers hate police so much......
Seeing that there were many policemen sitting directly on the ground like hooligans, their guns or big knives were directly placed on the ground, smoking bare-chested, Chen Luo said helplessly.
There are not many promoters like Leech Shadow Yin who have very strong strength. Most of the police officers are guys with some fighting skills or extraordinary strength, and this kind of person is the most common among the rogue ruffians. In addition, the police is not a good job, and his life is often hanging by a thread, and he may die in the battle with the intestines at any time, so he chose to be a police officer. Many of them are hooligans and ruffians who have no way out, which has also brought some negative effects on the reputation of the police and the like.
"Is there anyone else who hasn't come? It's a grind! β
After seeing Chen Luo and Mu Geng sitting in the position of Tiantong Company, there was no one sitting down in front of the company sign, and a muscular man with only a vest on his upper body and a veil on his face shouted impatiently.
Next to the muscular man stood a brown-haired girl, standing expressionlessly, looking a little cold.
"And why do little guys and little girls like this come?! Can this kind of guy have combat effectiveness? β
After seeing that no one cares about themselves. The muscular man turned the finger at Chenluo and Mu Geng, and shouted at Chen Luo and Mu Geng.
ββ¦β¦β
Chen Luo frowned slightly, and did not argue with this guy, it's not that Chen Luo is afraid of things, it's just that this is the Ministry of Defense, and if you quarrel with such a guy here. It's too ugly. And if any guy jumps out and yells at Chenluo, Chenluo will be responsible for fighting back, then it's too tiring to live.
"Ikuma, be quiet!"
After the muscular man's boss shouted at him, he continued to quietly wait for the arrival of the Son of Heaven.
"Humph! Guy who didn't plant! β
Seeing that Chen Luo did not quarrel with himself. And his own boss made himself quiet again, and General Ixiong snorted disdainfully.
"There is something that the bear company can't come, so let's start talking about the commission that invited you to come this time."
After a while, a white-haired girl dressed in a dress walked up to the front of the group and said to the people below.
The girl exudes a holy temperament, giving people a sense of nobility that makes people unbearable to be blasphemous.
"It seems that no matter whether the Son of Heaven has real power or not, she is not an ordinary girl, but it's a pity that she seems to be used as a puppet by that guy from Tiantong Juzhicheng......"
Chen Luo looked at the Saint Son of Heaven and an old man with a majestic face behind the Saint Son of Heaven, and said secretly in his heart.
It was only more than half a year ago that Mu Geng left the Tiantong family, and although he didn't know much about those things in the family, he still heard some from his father, and it seemed that many of the decisions of the Son of Heaven had to obey his grandfather.
Of course, Mu Geng was not sure for sure, after all, many times, Tiantong Ju Zhicheng looked like he was just a quiet old man, silently following behind the Holy Son of Heaven. Only the sparkle in his eyes that flowed from time to time could tell others what a shrewd old man he was.
"Humph!"
When Tiantong Ju Zhicheng's eyes noticed the wooden gentry beside Chen Luo, he let out a slight snort with his nose.
Seeing this, Chen Luo glared back unto be outdone, since Mu Geng no longer recognized him as a grandfather, then Chen Luo naturally did not need to treat Tiantong Ju Zhicheng as Mu Geng's grandfather.
If the two of them were awkward because of some other things, Chen Luo might find a way to help the two reconcile, but Tiantong Ju Zhicheng, this guy can be ruthless to his son and daughter-in-law, and he has exceeded Chen Luo's tolerance boundary.
Chen Luo is not a pedantic person, it is impossible to say that it is because of the blood relationship between Tiantong Ju Zhicheng and Mu Geng, ignoring the nature of Tiantong Ju Zhicheng. Since this kind of person can plot to kill his son and daughter-in-law, then killing Mu Geng, killing himself, killing the Son of Heaven, and killing anyone is no longer a lie, as long as he is necessary, Chen Luo believes that he will be able to do it.
It's not just the feeling that the incident gave Chenluo. Judging from the temperament and appearance of Tiantong Ju Zhicheng alone, Chen Luo didn't think that this would be an elder who was as kind and kind as his age.
The identity of the ruler is often the older he is, the more vicious he is, and the more capable he is. Although there are some who are older and more mediocre. But it won't appear in people like Tiantong Juzhicheng.
ββ¦β¦β
After perceiving Chen Luo's gaze, Tiantong Ju Zhicheng glanced at Chen Luo with a meaningful gaze, then withdrew his gaze and stood quietly behind the Holy Son of Heaven.
"Turn on the projector."
The Son of Heaven said softly to an officer beside him.
"Yes!"
The officer hurriedly turned on the projector next to him, and a huge protosagulars instantly appeared on the screen.
"It seems to be just a stage 3 or stage 4 protozoa, and it should be a very ordinary existence, why is it so popular?"
After carefully observing the protogastral animals that appeared on the screen, Chen Luo frowned and said secretly in his heart.
This proto-intestinal animal Chen Luo still has some impressions, and once solved a proto-intestinal animal similar to this guy, if you have to say that this guy has anything unique. It's just being able to fly. Although there are not many protozoans that can fly, there are some, at least 10% of them.
Therefore, it is difficult for Chen Luo to find anything special from this protosagular, so it can only be said that something special happened to it.
"It's an infected protosagular, and it swallowed a box. He has now escaped from the megalithic monument. Your mission is to find the original intestine outside the megalith, and retrieve the chest inside it. Of course, the rewards will be very generous, and you won't have to work hard in vain. β
The Son of Heaven said with a solemn face, and his tone was very serious.
"Chests? What's in there? β
A policeman asked with some confusion.
The rest of the policemen also hurriedly pricked up their ears and waited for the answer of the Son of Heaven.
These people were all suddenly summoned by the Son of Heaven, and the introduction of the Son of Heaven's mission was also a little brief. Although the goal is clear, the story hidden in it can be said that there is no mention of it. Therefore, everyone's curiosity is also very strong.
"This is an issue related to Edo City, so I won't tell you......
The Son of Heaven shook his head lightly and refused to answer.
"Refuse to answer? It seems that this time things are not very easy, and I seem to understand why that guy from Leech Shadow Yin showed up yesterday......"
Chen Luo touched his nose and shook his head slightly.
Generally speaking. The client will explain the content of the commission in as much detail as possible, especially the ins and outs of the matter, if there is no unspeakable concealment, it will generally not choose to conceal it. Because it is very likely that it is these details that determine the success of the commission, the clearer you understand the matter. It is more conducive to the completion of the commission.
The fact that this commission is so important, but so secretive about the contents of the box, shows that there must be a big secret in the box. It's a pity that if the Holy Son of Heaven doesn't answer, Chen Luo won't know what kind of thing it is.
However, Tatsuraku estimated that even if this thing threatened the survival of Edo District, it was not completely impossible, otherwise how could so many police officers be brought in, just to find a box.
And the fact that the proto-intestinal animal was able to enter a very important place for Edo Ward and escape beyond the megalithic monument made Tatsuraku a little admired.
Even if it was a stage 4 protosagular, the impact of the megalith tablet on them was not small, and the guy didn't know what was going on, but he was able to eat the box and escape. Even made Chen Luo a little suspicious, whether someone behind the scenes was manipulating this matter, judging from the coincidence alone, it was really too much of a coincidence, and the probability of happening was less than one in a billion.
After all, the strength of that protointestinal animal is not very powerful even if it is put on the guards, and it is a joke to be able to enter and escape safely. even made Chen Luo a little suspicious that it was something done by someone inside, such as Tiantong Ju Zhicheng.
In this way, Chen Luo also probably understood why he saw Leech Shadow Yin yesterday, and it is very likely that Leech Shadow Yin learned the news, so he specially searched for the original intestine animal everywhere, wanting to take out the box it swallowed, and then use the contents of the box to complete his idea.
"Huh...... I'm also very interested in this commission, I wonder if I can accept the commission with me? Although it is said...... Even if you reject me, I'll go look for that chest! β
Suddenly, a man wearing a mask on his face rushed in from outside, followed by a cute but dangerous little Lori.
The two men were stained with a trace of blood, and it seemed that they had killed the guards outside......
"Leech Shadow? Looks like something big is going to happen......"
After seeing the person clearly, Chen Luo snorted coldly in his heart, and looked at the leech Yingyin with interest, waiting for further changes in things......
