Chapter 271: Five Bamboo Lore, Seven Seconds of the White Yasha

New Tokyo, Mitsui Garden Hotel.

The beautiful front desk in the hotel lobby politely sent the two to the elevator, and when the VIP viewing elevator door was about to close and close, the beautiful front desk bowed slightly and reminded warmly:

"The two guests have a hard journey, the dining place is in the VIP lounge on the 45th floor, if you have any needs, you can call the hotel's room phone, we will have a housekeeper to serve you wholeheartedly, and no one will disturb you, and guests can rest in peace."

The observation elevator slowly ascends.

At dusk, looking at the bustling and busy cross street not far behind, when the red light goes out and the green light comes on, a large crowd of people on the zebra crossing rushes by like a black ant tide day after day.

Is this the life of ordinary people in Wano Country...

Even if the city is full of criminals and terrorist incidents, for ordinary people who are under the pressure of life, they still have to continue to live hard, and a person falling off the chain means the collapse of the whole family behind him...

The elevator height continued to rise, and the wild rose on the side put her face on the glass and opened her eyes wide to enjoy the magnificent night view of New Tokyo, and smashed her mouth and said, "This hotel is good, I heard that you can also do free care and beauty downstairs, do you want to go together?" ”

"Is all the money you've made going to this kind of place?"

Dusk turned her head to look at the Briar.

He has never liked to intrude on anyone else's privacy other than work, but every time he goes on a mission, Briar always books this kind of luxurious five-star hotel.

One stay is about a week.

When he woke up every night in a luxurious suite of more than 160 square meters, he looked at the spacious hotel furnishings around him, and his heart was bleeding.

And then I thought about it,

The money was not spent in his own account, so he turned over and covered himself with the quilt and continued to fall asleep.

Hearing Dusk's words, Briar shook her head without hesitation and said, "Not quite, my rest of the money will occasionally charter a yacht and a private jet or something." ”

"Oh yes, last month I booked a villa on a resort island in the South China Sea for a week's birthday party, and I wanted to invite you, but unfortunately I couldn't get in touch."

The corners of Dusk's eyes twitched, and she heard the last sentence but was noncommittal.

During non-"working hours", no one can contact him except for the liaison officer with the number 9527 of [Daybreak].

Do you have a deposit?

Dusk subconsciously wanted to ask.

Unexpectedly, before he asked, Wild Rose blinked and stared at dusk, "Ah Huang, have you ever lived in a villa with a pool by the sea?" ”

Dusk was silent.

He opened his mouth to say something, but after all, he didn't say anything, only feeling that there was a pathetic "thick barrier" between the two.

......

The VIP elevator door opened with a pleasant ringtone, and Dusk and Wild Briar walked in with their suitcases, and when they swiped the card to open the door, they could see a huge floor-to-ceiling window.

The hotel has 70 floors, and they live on the 69th floor, from which they can almost overlook the unique Skytree [Tembo Corridor] among the glittering steel high-rises.

If memory serves, the "Boundary Gate" that was rumored to have opened this afternoon is at the place called the New Tokyo Skytree.

But none of this has anything to do with dusk and the wild rose.

Whether it's the legendary Boundary Gate or the lost Hell, these are like urban weirdos that only exist in legends, and they are too ethereal for Dusk, and he only cares about what he can actually grasp in his hands.

......

"You sleep in the room, I sleep on the couch outside."

After entering the room, he put away his luggage, looked at the layout of the suite at dusk, and first assigned the question of how the two of them would rest in this room for the next week.

The wild brius, who had already thrown herself into the soft sofa, felt the amazing elasticity of the hotel sofa, stretched comfortably, and complained with a smile:

"Really, everyone is so familiar, I don't mind sleeping in the room together."

"I don't like to sleep with people next to me." Dusk said expressionlessly.

"Are you afraid of sleeping badly and making a fool of yourself?"

Briar peeked at Dusk's cold chin and continued in a low voice, "I'm still afraid I won't be able to control it..."

"I'm afraid I can't control it." Dusk interrupted.

"Ahh

"I mean... If you snore in the middle of the night, I'm afraid I'll lose control and cut off your head. ”

"Then let's sleep separately."

The corners of Wild Rose's mouth twitched, and she ran in with her head down and a cigarette in her arms.

After a while, when she reappeared, she had already changed into a white bathrobe, revealing a pair of sexy and graceful long legs and walking out with slippers, holding a blue frame in her hand, which contained a large number of bottles and cans for bathing and skin care.

Dusk was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Take a bath? It's been a tiring day of flying from San Maro, and taking a bath is the most decompressing, do you want to join us? Eventually, the Wild Rose's mouth began to habitually run the train again.

The corners of Twilight's mouth twitched, "Can it be solved in five minutes?" ”

This time it was Wild Rose's turn to be stunned, and said with a look of incredulity, "Five minutes? You don't know that I always start with 50 minutes in the shower. ”

Dusk didn't pay any attention to her, just looked down at the watch on her wrist, and said quietly, "In five minutes, 'White Yaksha' will appear outside the door of this hotel." ”

"Who is 'White Yaksha'?"

Wild Rose subconsciously asked, and then realized that they had matched the [Executive Hunter] in the three-person team this time.

She suddenly said with a stunned face, "Wouldn't it? So fast? Is it starting tonight? Don't you want to be in such a hurry? ”

Dusk sighed lightly when she heard this, and the first level 5 mission objective "Blue Flame Demon is Snyke" appeared in her computer-like mind.

He shook his head lightly and said, "I don't want to be in such a hurry, but unfortunately, our goal... It doesn't seem very peaceful. ”

......

Higashinohara came by train, and when I got out of the train stop, I followed the navigation with my mobile phone in my hand.

Taxis in New Tokyo are expensive, and even though he is no longer the poor student who ate bread and drank mineral water, taxi is still a bit of a "light luxury" in his eyes.

However, when Higashino arrived at the Mitsui Garden Hotel, which is located on the side of the Ebisu Garden Plaza, he was still shocked by the opulent front entrance of the hotel in front of him.

Are the hunters of Daybreak so generous?

Higashinohara looked down at the stalls on his rotten street, and there were no ornaments on his neck and wrists.

Compared with those well-dressed people who come and go here, Higashinohara may be more appropriate to wear a helmet and change into a yellow takeaway suit and carry a pizza box.

No, he might not be able to get in that way.

Most of the time the pizza was delivered to the front desk, and the front desk lady turned around and left with a polite smile.

Higashinohara thought about these things in his mind, which slightly relieved the tension in his heart.

It's not that he's nervous about the so-called level 5 mission goal, but he used to be alone, and he returned to his normal appearance after the outbreak after thirty minutes.

It was his first time working with a stranger.

Well, I don't know if it's good to get along with him at night in the work group of the [Scarlet of Dawn] official website to send him the location @ his "twilight".

His head is a bat pattern, he looks quite cold, he doesn't talk much, and he doesn't say a word except for his work tasks.

The avatar of the wild rose with a cartoon pattern is quite active, and he also asked him about the various delicacies and grand scenes of Wano Country, which made Higashinohara think that this was a tour group and was responsible for the reception.

Thinking about this in his mind, when he entered the door, the waiter in a black suit and bow tie looked at Higashinohara who was empty-handed, and then at the back of Higashinohara, as if he wanted to help park the car.

But after discovering that Higashinohara did not have a car, he immediately reacted and came up eagerly to open the glass door to greet him.

There is no such thing as contempt.

It's just a job for the waiter, and as long as Higashinohara doesn't wear it sloppy enough to affect the ambient air, the waiter's job is to send his own smile and greeting.

A few doors walked to the front desk, and Higashinohara recalled the room number issued in the group in his mind.

After the front desk lady dialed the phone to check, Higashinohara was politely sent into the elevator that had been parked on the first floor.

In the empty elevator, Higashinohara, who is extremely adaptable, regains his inner peace.

When the observation elevator went up, Higashinohara also saw the brightly lit new Tokyo Sky Tree in the night, and some memories were injured in his mind.

Since the last time he escaped from there, he has lost contact with Hela and Kenjiro Nanami and others, only to learn from the rescued Kolotia that they all escaped, and he got married after saying that he came back in the lost [Hell World] Shinichi Shinmura and saved it...

The elevator went straight to the 69th floor, and Higashinohara stepped on the soft carpet, casually took out a white yaksha mask from under his windbreaker and put it on his face.

Mask, white fangs, horns, an eye drawn on his forehead, and a chin sharp like a knife, he found the agreed room without much difficulty, and raised his hand to ring the doorbell.

.....

"Hmm... People are coming? Let me see? ”

"Aha? Wearing a mask? ”

In the suite, Wild Briar, dressed in a bathrobe, leaned over to the door to take a look at the outside of the videophone.

When he saw the white-faced, fanged Yaksha mask on Higashinohara's face, his expression couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Dusk looked at the figure outside the door of the videophone, but his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and a look of displeasure appeared on his face.

Do this line,

Everyone has their own secrets.

He doesn't ask people to be honest, but he hates this kind of superficial trickery.

Especially in the mission team of [Scarlet of Daybreak], the most important thing as an executor is the strength to definitely kill the opponent with one blow.

Other than that, everything else is empty talk.

From this point of view, Dusk is very satisfied with the old partner who sent him a photo of playing and chasing with his children with a water gun on the beach in the South China Sea.

Although this old guy has all kinds of stinky problems, the strength of the sixth-order peak and the experienced combat experience, every time he collects complete information and hands it over, the opponent's ruthlessness and decisiveness that will kill him with one blow even in the face of the same rank are very satisfying to him.

These thoughts flashed through my mind,

The good professionalism made Dusk put away these emotions very quickly, opened the door with a calm face, and the three people looked back and forth inside and outside the door with three pairs of eyes.

"Introduce yourself, Dusk, the Scout Hunter of this mission."

Dusk looked down at the watch on her wrist, the second hand turned to the last second, no more, no less for exactly five minutes, and said with a slight nod, "It seems that you are very punctual." ”

"White Yaksha, executor hunter." Higashinohara nodded after introducing himself, "I've always been punctual. ”

Hearing the conversation between the two, the Wild Rose in a bathrobe also poked her head out from behind Dusk in the door, curiously glanced at the White Yaksha mask on Higashinohara's face, and quickly introduced herself, "I, Wild Rose, finish the hunter." ”

After a crisp self-introduction, the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.

Higashinohara noticed this, and even faintly felt that although the cold-faced man in front of him didn't have a bad feeling for him, he didn't have much of a good impression of him.

What's the situation?

At this time, he noticed the bathrobe on Wild Rose's body and the big white legs looming under the bathrobe, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and made up his mind "adult hotel suite Play".

Higashinohara couldn't help but cough dryly and said, "I'm sorry... Am I... Excuse me? ”

His voice fell,

Both Briar and Dusk were stunned.

The corners of Dusk's mouth twitched, and he glanced coldly at the Oniyasha mask on Higashinohara's face, took a deep breath and said, "If you have so much thought, it's better to empty your head and think about this mission, at least this will allow you to survive." ”

The wild rose, who realized it later, also reacted, and suddenly laughed behind her and shook her hand and said to Higashinohara, "Don't bother, don't bother, please come in and sit." ”

"No need."

Dusk didn't know that he took out a black suitcase, raised it in his hand, and walked out of the door first, and said coldly without looking back, "If there are no extra problems, we can go on a mission." ”

"Ahh

Briar Rose, who was still wearing a bathrobe, was dumbfounded.

She and the door Higashino Hara looked at each other, and a trace of an embarrassed smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she quietly raised her hand and poked the back of the dusk at the end of the corridor and said, "Ah Huang, he is that character, in fact, he is a very good person, don't take it to heart." ”

"I don't care." Higashinohara glanced at the bathrobe that Wild Rose was still wearing.

Wild Rose was also stunned, suddenly gritted her teeth, lowered her head to tie the strap of her bathrobe, raised her head and said with her head held high, "Hmph! Let's go! ”

Ahh

Higashinohara looked at Wild Rose, who was hurrying after him in a bathrobe, and was speechless for a while.

For the first time, he began to wonder if his choice to find the target of the mission through the channels of the [Crimson of Daybreak] Hunter Organization was really the right and wise choice.

......

At nine o'clock in the evening, a white sedan drove through the streets of Shinjuku City.

After the vicious horrors that fermented in the past two days, although many shops were still open due to high rents and labor costs, the once bustling Ichiban Street of Kabukicho has been in decline at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

In the driver's seat, he drove with one hand with a string of oden roses in his mouth, curiously looking left and right at the bizarre neon signs on both sides of the street.

These scenes are rare to see on the streets of the San Maro Empire, so he couldn't help but turn his head and whisper to Higashinohara, who was sitting in the co-pilot, in a whisper:

"That's... Xiaobai, what is this place? ”

Xiaobai?

The corner of Higashinohara's eyes twitched.

However, considering the "Ah Huang" behind him, he still accepted the title optimistically.

"This is the city that never sleeps, the most prosperous entertainment center in New Tokyo."

"The busiest entertainment center?"

Wild Rose's eyes lit up slightly, and she was about to say something, but Dusk, who was sitting on the computer workbench on her lap and tapping on the keyboard, suddenly looked up and said:

"Put away your thoughts, and don't forget what we're here for, we're two blocks away."

Hearing the words of dusk, Higashinohara's expression couldn't help but tighten slightly.

What he didn't expect was that their level 5 mission target would actually start committing crimes tonight, and they were surrounded by a bar called "Gravity" in Kabukicho.

With this in mind, the white sedan had already crossed two streets, and the section of the road ahead of the navigation had been marked red.

In fact, even without looking at the map, the darkness in front of you filled with police lights and the few police cars and fire trucks parked at the gate have already explained that this road is not working.

Briar was looking for a suitable parking space, but at this moment, the vision in front of the windshield suddenly filled with a strong firelight.

A huge explosion followed!

The bar called "Gravity" on the side of the road, surrounded by police cars, suddenly rose into the sky with a column of blue fire, and countless broken glass burst out like rain.

Almost at the same time, a figure in a navy blue windbreaker suddenly flew upside down from the flames at the main entrance of the bar and slammed into the police car in front of it, causing a long siren to sound.

The faces of the three people in the car changed slightly.

Dusk, who was sitting in the back seat, twilighted his fingers on the workbench on his lap rapidly, and the screen suddenly refreshed all kinds of information about the "Sharoman Snake" pirates in the West Sea.

【Task Objective Loading .....】

[Blue Flame Demon!] Snecker!! 】

[Ability Analysis! 】

[Actual combat analysis! 】

[Personality Analysis! 】

【......】

[Generating the best way to fight]

In an instant, a large string of data was refreshed like a waterfall.

The corners of Dusk's lips are slightly hooked.

His head was running at high speed, which was something he could be proud of as a 6-star "Scout Hunter".

It is no exaggeration to say that in the execution of the mission of [Scarlet of Daybreak], his meticulous reconnaissance and analysis can increase the success rate of the mission by at least 30%...

Dusk's eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint excitement welled up in his heart as he entered the state.

However, when Dusk raised his head and wanted to analyze the target person for the "executive hunter" Higashinohara who was sitting in the co-pilot, he found that the co-pilot's door was opened.

"What are you going to do?"

Dusk couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and looked at Higashinohara who got off the car with a slight frown, and his tone was a little cold.

"He's supposed to be still in there..."

Higashinohara, who was standing outside the car door, looked at the burning bar, but seemed to answer a little incorrectly.

In the driver's seat, Wild Rose, who was still holding oden skewers in her mouth, swallowed a fish ball, turned her head to look at Higashinohara with empty hands, and asked a little dumbfounded, "Xiaobai, you... What about your weapons? ”

Higashinohara, who was outside the co-pilot's door, was stunned, his face showed a sudden look, and he bent down to get in again, and casually pulled a few leftover bamboo skewers from the oden of the wild rose.

"Borrow it."

When Higashinohara returned to the car, Dusk, who frowned in the back seat, looked at Higashinohara's disappearing back in an instant, and his face became a little gloomy.

"Ahh Ah Huang, don't we care about Xiaobai? Wild Rose in the driver's seat was also stunned.

"Young people always have to suffer a little bit to grow up."

Dusk suddenly closed her eyes and said in a cold tone, "Didn't we come from that time too?" If he doesn't have even the slightest patience, it's a good ..... for him to leave the huntsman with a broken arm and leg as soon as possible."

Suddenly, the sound of dusk was interrupted.

In the field of vision where his pupils shrank, a gradually enlarged figure suddenly flew upside down from the bar, where the heat and fire were surging.

In the flash of lightning, it slammed into the pole on the side of the road where the vehicle was parked, and then slammed into the sewer manhole cover.

And in the temples and throat of that figure, as well as in several vital places on the chest, there are five eye-catching oden bamboo sticks.

His eyes are round and shaped like a yaksha!

He was apparently in great pain before he died, with gurgling and foul-smelling blood meandering from several wounds.

Dusk subconsciously looked down at the photo of the target person "Blue Flame Demon" Sneik on the computer workbench, and then looked at the horrific corpse next to the telephone pole.

Contrast... Anastomosis?!

For a moment, a feeling of absurdity and unreality surged in his heart.

The wild rose in the driver's seat was still stunned, and suddenly, she stared straight at her eyes and her head straight ahead, and her mouth opened slightly unconsciously.

In the field of vision in front of the windshield,

I saw a figure wearing a white-faced fanged oniyasha mask, and a woman with a trembling body covered in scales wrapped in a coat, appeared at the door of the bar with fire and black smoke without warning, and the surging heat behind them swept the hem of the two of them...
