Since half a month ago, there have been serial homicides in Nara City.

Every night, a decapitated body appears on the streets. For half a month, there was no interruption. There are traces of essentia at the scene, and there is no doubt that it was the work of the sublimators.

Counting today, sixteen people's heads have been cut off.

The identity of the deceased is irregular.

There are ordinary office workers, there are sublimators, and there is even an entourage of the minister...... But the ending is undoubtedly the same, being cut off by the same intriguing technique.

Death was given neatly, and then he turned away without hesitation, leaving no clues for his pursuers.

Bizarre dissolution into the night.

Only the tragic scene and full of mockery remained.

Kadoyama lowered his head in shame, "I'm incompetent under it, and I'm a step too late." ”

It's just a matter of getting to the trail of that guy.

"Keep looking. ”

Inuee said, "Now before the start of the Imperial Kitchen Demon Showdown, there is such a big mess in the city, I am afraid that it will be used by the Luming Pavilion to play the problem, saying that we are ...... to be out of responsibility."

"Huh. A disdainful sneer came from below, "Isn't this what they sent?"

Inuee raised his eyes and looked over, "Kuro-"

"Am I not right, Mr. Inue?" the young man whispered indignantly, "They single-handedly forced to kill my uncle who was begging for the Satomi family, and now they are pretending to come and condemn us for our dereliction of duty......

"Kuro!"

Inuee raised his voice, his old eyes raised, and he warned word by word: "This is not something you can interject!"

The young man stubbornly held his head high and asked, "Am I not a samurai of the Satomi family!"

"If two hundred years ago, the samurai of the Satomi family dared to say such unscrupulous things here, they would have been ordered to seppuku a long time ago!"

Inu Jiang refuted indifferently: "You're not the master yet, wait until you sit in that seat, and then think about how to give orders to our old men!"

Now, before I get angry, go back to your own house, this is not the place for you to go wild!"

Kuro's face turned red, and soon, he lowered his head and walked away.

The door closed.

Beside Inue, the old samurai sighed, "Kurou is sad to die, he is still young, and he has no intention of offending. ”

"Who doesn't know?" Inu Jiang shook his head and sighed: "Otherwise, if I am a person with ulterior motives, I will cut off his head here in front of you." ”

Jiulang, Satomi Shizue, is the nephew of the previous generation of lords.

Satomi Fuji doesn't have a child of his own.,From the time Kuro was young, he was raised as his own.。 And after the previous generation of lords suffered a downfall and 'died in shame,' he was undoubtedly the most painful.

Nowadays, young people can understand such immoral words, but they cannot indulge them.

Throwing it away is already the biggest protection.

The meeting must continue.

After finalizing the remaining few inconsequential trivia, Inuee tiredly raised his hand and rubbed the bridge of his nose, closed his eyes and sighed, picked up a towel and wiped his face casually, and forcibly lifted his spirits.

He's old.

One hundred and sixty-four years old.

Almost witnessed the fateful modern history of the Satomi family, from an unknown samurai, to Inuee who inherited the name of Satomi Eight Dogs.

It can be said that in addition to being the master, this old man is the real backbone and backbone of the Satomi family. And Inuee has always been trusted by successive generations of lords because of his restraint of power and loyalty to his family.

The generations that grew up in the turbulent years, no matter how ambitious they were, understood how important the existence of the family was.

Only by being closely united and working together for survival can we survive in an increasingly dangerous situation.

It's a pity that today's young people don't think like this anymore......

From the last generation, the struggle has gotten out of control.

Now, as the general gradually overthrows the emperor, everyone in the entire Yingzhou is swaying between the huge political whirlpool, and it is difficult to hold their own ...... No, it should be said that times have changed since the moment the country was opened by the black ships of Rome.

After resting for a moment, he lifted his spirits and looked at the seven people around him.

Satomi Eight Dogs.

Now the eight retainers of the Satomi family who hold different powers, after losing their masters, are now able to represent the Satomi family, and all eight people are here.

"For the past few days, you must have a list in mind, right?"

In silence, the samurai, who were no longer young, slowly bowed their heads and shared the information they had investigated.

In the end, he may become the next generation to be the master.

At the front, naturally there is no need to say much, the adopted son of the previous generation of lords, Jiulang, Satomi Hisashi.

Then, the younger brother of the previous ruler, who hurried back from America, saw the injustice.

The person in charge of the Satomi family Tateyama Group, Satomi is not clean.

Satomi Shohei in the Russian Union studying abroad.

......

And even in the end, the last son of the Satomi clan - Satomi Amber.

"It's ridiculous!"

During the banquet, an old man roared angrily: "The daughter of a sinner who turned her back on Yingzhou and was banished to Dongxia, Luming Pavilion will actually recognize her qualifications?

Inuee raised his eyes and said calmly, "Amber's father is also a person who has made sacrifices for the family. In my opinion, she is no different from other juniors, they are all children of the Satomi family. ”

"Mr. Inue, don't you understand her intentions?"

"Could it be that her intentions are different from those of others?" Inuee raised his voice, and after asking rhetorically, he solemnly glanced around: "Since it is the blood of the Satomi family, you are qualified to inherit the position of the head of the Satomi family, don't lose your duty!"

Everyone lowered their eyes respectfully, and there was no more opposition.

In the silence, Inuee suddenly couldn't help but laugh at himself.

It was he who banished Amber in the first place.

I'm afraid that at this moment, in the hearts of other people, it is indispensable to scold the old fool, right? But again, in his eyes at this moment, there is no difference between Amber and other juniors.

As for why Luming Pavilion recognized her bloodline and recognized a Vault Dweller named in the Social Security Bureau, he probably could understand a little bit of the consideration behind it.

Without it, it is simply ...... It's just the best of both worlds.

It is not for some noble and compassionate reason to give sinners a chance to atone for their sins, nor to believe that amber will come out of the mud without staining.

It's pure, self-inflicted.

The result of having no power externally and gradually losing control internally.

- Denying the blood of the Chinese, and rejecting the infiltration of the Eastern Xia lineage, which is the more serious consequence?

No matter what Satomi Amber does, there is no doubt that she has the direct bloodline of the upper and upper heads, and at the same time, she is also the orthodoxy of the Chinese people.

As for the possibility of collusion with external forces...... Oh, are there still few people who collude with external forces?

All of them are like wandering girls waiting for a price, which is despicable.

And now among the inheritors of the Satomi family, they don't know how much sand has been mixed with, and they don't know how many people have chosen a camp for themselves.

Generals, Your Majesty, and Ministers of all stripes...... and even messy others.

When they chose the Kitchen Demon for a proxy duel, they themselves had already become the agents of the others.

"But what does this have to do with us old decayers?"

Inu Jiang lowered his eyes, looked down at the tasteless tea soup in the cup, and shook his head mockingly: "It's as if you can decide the affairs of the Satomi family by yourself." ”

It's as if the real Satomi family can continue to exist after this turmoil.

He closed his eyes.

Sigh of exhaustion.

.

.

The next day, at noon.

In the Yingzhou-style hall, there was silence.

It was obviously the busiest time for the noon dinner, but the people sitting behind each seat were expressionless, the old people were silent, and the young people looked at each other as if they could rub sparks.

It's obviously a feast carefully created by celebrity chefs, but it's tasteless.

Only one soil bun was still gobbling up, swiping Twitter heartlessly, laughing at the funny artist, and after eating, he wiped his mouth and moved to the beauty next to him little by little like a hamster.

Pull her sleeve.

"Miss Wai Paper, Miss Wai Paper, I heard that there is a hot spring ...... behind" Maki blinked her big eyes with curiosity, "After lunch, let's go to the hot spring together!"

“......”

In the strange eyes of the others, Huai Shi couldn't help but want to sigh.

Miss Maki, is Ning the lack of heart of the Satomi family?

No, why can't you learn to read the air that you Yingzhou people are proud of?

Give me a good look at the atmosphere!

Soaking in hot springs?

If I'm a competitor, I'll run out of hot spring water for you and replace it with sulfuric acid!

Although there is some slander in the stomach about the rough lines of Maki, he still maintains a dignified appearance on the surface, and he is not in a hurry to eat, with elegant demeanor and graceful movements.

No matter how harsh the standards are, no matter how strict the standards are, there is no flaw to be found in that pleasing posture.

Today's Miss Huai Paper is still flawless.

Obviously, he was only wearing a guest yukata sent by the attendants, but he seemed to be wearing a gorgeous Tang robe, exuding an indescribable charm all the time.

The iconic cowherd's business smile, which he studied under Lao Yanagi, has been transformed here, forming a shallow smile that is hard to take your eyes off.

Especially when you look at the end of the seat, a stinky sister who hasn't seen for a long time...... The more enjoyable it became.

Thinking of this, with some kind of bad taste, he quietly took out his mobile phone and sent an email.

[Amber dear, I'm here!]

In the crowd, under the indifference, resistance and hostility of many blood relatives, Satomi Amber was still eating calmly, and noticed the vibration of the mobile phone on the table.

I glanced down.

Then the eyeballs almost fell out...... The hand holding the rice trembled.

[Where the fuck are you?]

[Your home, your bed is really big and comfortable......]

??????

Satomi Amber felt like she was turned upside down.

Can't understand what's going on?

What stupid things is this thing talking about!

【...... Am I outdated?What's the latest joke?Are you going to stop being a cowherd and talk rakugo?]

[No, that's the truth. I arrived three days early, and then the people of your family invited me over, delicious and delicious hospitality, hospitality, warm as spring, much better than the cold treatment of a poor little girl, envy?]

What the fuck are you kidding me?

Without thinking, I typed in a Zu'an greeting, and before I finished writing, I was stunned for a moment, and I realized that something was wrong.

The atmosphere around has changed.

Just when she and Huai Shi were concentrating on the line, the eyes around her gradually became strange. Stunned, confused, surprised, puzzled, and greedy.

No, that's not looking at yourself, it's looking at yourself...... Behind?

She frowned, finally hearing the soft breath behind her.

Suddenly turned around, and saw the face that was close at hand.

A pair of big watery eyes, bewitching and pure, like a white lotus blooming from green tea.

Dressed in a cyan yukata, the woman who arrived at some point knelt behind Amber, her long hair combed into a ponytail and hanging down from her left shoulder.

Raise your hand and pull the shredded hair behind your ear.

Smile gently.

But for Satomi Amber, the horror is sudden, accompanied by the horror and desperate memories of the past, rising from her heart.

She was so frightened that she almost jumped on the spot and tried to draw her knife.

Luo Xian?!

No, it's ......

At that moment, in front of everyone's eyes, Miss Huai Paper bent down slightly, approached her ear affectionately, and said hello in a deep voice that had not been seen for a long time.

"Silly, isn't it, stinky sister?"
