Chapter 74: The Immortal Society (1)

Jiang Xian looked at the man at the door in surprise.

In his forties, with a square face, not tall, wearing a crisp suit and combing his hair on his back. Politely bowed to himself slightly and spoke fluent Chinese: "Mr. Jiang, good evening, I took the liberty of disturbing." Despicable Daiwa Santomo Vice President Shima Sanaki. ”

"Something?" Jiang Xian's brows furrowed slightly, and he was inevitably a little disgusted in his heart. He thinks he's made it clear enough that he doesn't like people pestering him.

Japan is a country that pays great attention to "reading the air", and the moment he saw Jiang Xian frowning, Dao Sanming immediately said: "Mr. Jiang, I have heard about your choice. We understand your choice very well, but I still feel unwilling to let a dragon among people like you leave, I want to make a final effort, and I hope that Mr. Jiang can give me thirty minutes. ”

Jiang Xian nodded out of politeness, Dao Sanming put the computer bag on the table, and while taking out the computer, he said: "In order to contact Mr. Jiang before, we specially handed over some things to Mr. Song by Mr. Long, hoping that he could show Mr. Jiang ...... I wonder if Mr. Jiang has seen it? ”

Song Yunshen?

Thinking suddenly stuck, like a set of smooth production lines suddenly appeared a small flaw. There seemed to be something noteworthy here, but the sound that Dao Sanming continued to sound gave Jiang Xian no time to continue thinking about it. His thinking turned to Song Yunshen, and then he remembered that the other party had indeed given him a small box at the beginning.

"Not yet."

Shima Sanming breathed a heavy sigh of relief: "No wonder...... But it doesn't matter, I've got a copy here. I am sure that Mr. Jiang will be very interested. ”

Click...... As Shima pressed the play button, a set of videos began to play on the computer. The first thing that came to mind was a hospital.

It can be seen that this hospital has been around for some years. And the funding is not very sufficient. The walls are whitewashed, though some of them have faded. The snow-white and mottled yellow color resembles a malnourished age spot, and there are not many people on the seats, so it can be seen that there is not a lot of traffic.

It is not surprising that the hospital, however, Jiang Xian looked very carefully, because ...... This hospital actually gave him a sense of déjà vu.

"This is the hospital in Foping County." Speaking fluent Chinese, Dao Sanming said slowly in a voice that could be heard clearly and did not feel harsh: "You saved someone somewhere in Foping County and settled him here, right?" ”

Without waiting for Jiang Xian to nod, the picture changed. In one of the wards, nurses ran out screaming, and there were even a few patients in hospital gowns. At the same time, the door was kicked open with a thud, and two figures slowly walked out.

Walking in front was a middle-aged man, very thin, also wearing a hospital gown, his face was full of horror at the moment, he raised his hands, and he could be heard, he shouted: "Help...... Help me! ”

And right behind him, Jiang Xian rescued the old man from under Darong Village, who was holding a fruit knife and putting it on the patient's neck!

At this moment, he doesn't look old at all, no, or rather...... Although he is old, he does not hide the killing intent on his face at all, like a Shura who has come out of hell. He gritted his scorched teeth and shouted hoarsely, "Stand back...... Stand back for me!! ”

Originally, after Jiang Xian sent him to the hospital, he was taken care of by people under Director Ama. But at this moment, the two young policemen were also completely stunned. Instinctively step back.

"Car...... Give me the car!! The old man was crazy, and the knife slashed through the patient's neck, and suddenly, a line of blood appeared. The patient's legs went limp, and he almost fainted. The old man didn't look at it at all, gritted his teeth and roared: "There is no car in ten minutes, I want his life...... Fast!! ”

The picture pauses with the old man's hideous face. Shima Sanming quickly adjusted the picture and said, "He escaped from the hospital and is wanted by the whole country. But...... So far, there is no trace...... You may know this symbol. ”

The picture is frozen in the palm of Fujiwara's hand - this is one of the few parts of the entire video where the other party's palm is exposed. And right here, there is a subtle pattern.

That...... Is an eye within a triangle!

Drawn entirely with black lines, as if imprinted on the hand. The moment he saw his eyes, Jiang Xian's mind was like thunder, and he couldn't help but curse secretly.

Scammed.

The old man said that he was from Da Rong Village...... At that time, listening to him speak was standard Mandarin, and Chu Ziyi also asked him. He replied that he was away all year round. It seems to be a rational answer, however, he has been locked up here for more than ten years, and he should have lost his ability to speak in this environment, unless he has undergone special training.

Because of the weakness of the other party, everyone let down their guard against him - just like people don't pay attention to ants, because the other party can't influence themselves. Unexpectedly, they were all set up by this old man!

"He's Chinese?" Jiang Xian finally spoke.

Questions represent curiosity and exploration, while curiosity and exploration represent interest. Hearing his question, Dao Sanming finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "No, he is an authentic Japanese. ”

His name is Fujiwara, and he was a professor in the Department of Archaeology at the University of Tokyo. He is especially obsessed with Chinese history and culture, and the Chinese dialect is very standard. ”

"He's been to the Demon Capital?" Jiang Xianyou continued to ask.

"As far as I know, no." Dao Sanming turned around and said solemnly: "And the symbol of his palm, I have seen it." ”

Without Jiang Xian to speak, he took a deep breath and said: "The organization that has this symbol is the only one in Japan, and its name is ...... Immortals. ”

"It'...... It may be the ...... of the Extreme Dao" Before this sentence was finished, Jiang Xian's finger lightly tapped the table: "Maybe?" ”

Dao Sanming was a little speechless, and after a few seconds, he gritted his teeth and said: "I won't tell you, decades ago, the contemptible person was also a leader of the 'Kanto Union'. ”

"When I was in the crowd, I saw this tattoo on the back of the head at that time. Because most of the tattoos of Japanese Gokudo are ukiyo-e of ghosts and gods, this tattoo is particularly ...... Eccentric. In the 80s and 90s, it was the heyday of Japanese Yakuza Method, and all Japanese Yakuza had tattoos on their backs, which can be called the Japanese ukiyo-e awards. I've been in the Yakuza for five years, and I've seen all kinds of tattoos. But this tattoo was only tattooed on the head at the time, so I remember it very clearly. ”

There was silence in the room, a hint of listening. Shima Sanming did not hesitate and continued: "Five years later, I joined the Yamato Sanyu Auction under the command of the Sumitomo Foundation by chance - at that time, these auctions were controlled by Gokudo, and they were the place where the major consortia and high-ranking officials and dignitaries sold stolen goods. It was there that reminded me of this tattoo that I should have forgotten! ”

He closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, as if recalling some terrifying picture, which made him tremble slightly, and only after a few seconds did he say hoarsely: "Yamato Sanyou Auction House, under the command of the Sumitomo Foundation." They have a lot of collateral and also hold important positions in the society. ”

"Ten years ago, I was summoned by the then special manager because of my outstanding work. We were all very surprised that the manager was the head of the company at the time. With his care and my own efforts, I finally got the opportunity to visit Kobayashi Koichi, the president at the time, three years ago. He is a descendant of the Sumitomo Foundation, a member of the real high-level 'Whitewater Society'. He invited me to the Wakasui hot spring in Kyoto. ”

"And it was there that I found out...... He also has the same symbol on his wrist! ”

His Adam's apple moved violently, opened his eyes, and said, "Out of curiosity, I asked. And then...... President Kobayashi told me something. ”

"I remember very well, he said: Do you know why the Sumitomo Foundation has been prosperous? I said I didn't know, he just smiled and continued to ask: Do you believe it...... Is there an immortal elixir in this world? ”

Jiang Xian's gaze narrowed slightly. These four words, like a butcher's hook, easily evoke all his memories.

I couldn't answer this question, but President Kobayashi didn't mind, he clapped his hands and asked the bodyguard to bring a bottle of ancient Chinese wine bottles, which should have come from the Han Dynasty or even before. And in the wine bottle...... It was filled with an emerald green liquid that emitted white mist! ”

"He, he drank it in one gulp, and I was so close to him that I could clearly see his face...... A crow's feet at the corner of the eye turned out to be ...... It slowly disappeared! It's like magic! ”

Dao Sanming instinctively looked at Jiang Xian, his words were too unbelievable. I was afraid that Jiang Xian wouldn't believe it, but what I saw was Jiang Xian's dignified gaze.

"You...... Don't think it's ridiculous? Dao Sanming was stunned for a few seconds, and finally asked.

This scene, like a nightmare, like the most delicious cake, like the sweetest poison, hovered in his mind all the time for years, and he occasionally mentioned it to his wife and children, in exchange for only smiling and coping with the affirmation.

Jiang Xian retracted his gaze and said calmly: "In this world, there are too many secrets hidden in the past history, and there are some things that science cannot fully explain. ”

"Go on."

Dao Sanming looked away and said in a deep voice: "He asked me if I drank." I have a hunch...... I could feel it at the time, and if I drank, I could take his place, and if I didn't, I wouldn't have a chance. But...... But...... Can you understand? This unknown ...... This weirdness beyond comprehension, in the end...... I...... Refused. ”

He smiled bitterly: "So, two years ago, President Kobayashi died suddenly of a heart attack, and it was not me who took over as President Yamato Sanyou." ”

"Dead?" Jiang Xian frowned and looked directly into the other party's eyes: "Are you sure?" ”

"I'm pretty sure." Shima Sanaki said with certainty: "I watched him cremated with my own eyes. It won't be anyone else. ”

Jiang Xian pinched his eyebrows fiercely, what's going on?

He's dead?

President Kobayashi...... Actually dead?

In my mind, there are faint threads connected by threads. But now is not the time to ponder, Shima Sanming continued: "After that time, I finally began to carefully investigate the Immortal Society, only to discover a terrible truth! ”

"I don't know how many people there are in the Immortal Society, but the Sumitomo Foundation's White Water Society, I am sure that there are five people who are followers of the Immortal Society, and except for President Kobayashi, the age of the others...... All over one hundred and five! I secretly investigated their case records...... Only to find out that there were no cases! ”

"They...... It should be the same as being fifty or sixty years old, still alive! But...... But it will never appear in Whitewater again! ”
