"Forget it, anyway, it's not a day or two to grow a mystery." Fingal waved his hand, then shouted, "My dear Eva, it's time for you to appear." ”

"I'm sorry, Miss Eva isn't here." A female voice that was equally gentle, but obviously different from Eva, sounded, "I'm Kaguya-hime, don't you know what I can serve you?" ”

This phrase is spoken in Japanese, and it looks like a well-known female singer and voice actor. Although everyone present was a little anxious in Japanese, and the host Yuan Zhisheng just now also spoke to them in Chinese, but he could barely understand a few words in Japanese.

"Oooo It's Maaya Sakamoto! Fingal let out a cheer like a pig's cry, startling the other two.

He said excitedly, "Can you use anything else?" Can you scold me with the loli voice of the nail palace? The one who is perverted, stupid, and has no way to race! ”

“…… Are you a pervert? Eva's voice returned to its original shape, a deep disdain in it.

"That's right! That's how it feels! Fingal clapped his hands, then suddenly stunned, lowered his head and mused, "You say, if we record this and sell it to those perverts in the academy......"

"I refuse ......"

"Long story short, I hacked into the supercomputer of the Japanese branch." The nonsense is over, Eva said seriously.

"Worthy of Eva." Fingal nodded, "Let me guess, something that's so secret, they don't even dare put it on a computer." ”

Eva nodded and said, "That's right, regarding the origin of the Eight Snake Families, as well as their emperor, and more importantly, the White King, Kaguyahime's database doesn't have one. It's not deleted, it's never recorded. ”

"That's what you record in a physical book, in a place that's absolutely safe." Caesar guessed, and then looked sideways out the window, the edifice that could be seen very clearly even from here, "like there." ”

Chu Zihang added: "It's not impossible to spread the word of mouth. ”

"But I didn't find what we were looking for, but I also learned something through some other means." Eva continued, "The leader of the Eight Families of Snake Qi is not necessarily the emperor, it seems that the birth of the emperor requires extremely harsh conditions. Their current leader, Tachibana Masamune, and the Wind Demon Kotaro before him are not emperors. ”

"That old man actually used to be the boss, he was so respectful to the turtle, I thought he was a cadre." Caesar said that even if this group of guys on the Sumeru seat is very good, some details still can't escape his eyes.

"So Yuan Zhisheng is the only emperor now?" Chu Zihang asked, the news he got from Valhalla was not much more than that of Fingal and Caesar.

"No, there was another one before them, and although it seems that the Snake Qi Eight family has erased his record, I still got information about him." Eva said, projecting a picture.

Dressed in a military uniform and looking much younger than he is now, Ange hugged a reluctant young Asian. He didn't look very old, he was only in his twenties, he was wearing luxurious Japanese clothes, his face was full of disbelief, but he couldn't be hugged by Ange and forced to shake hands with him.

"His name is Uesugi Koshi." Eva said, "The headmaster personally recorded that he was the last emperor of the Japanese half-breed. ”

……

Brightly lit and not raining like last night, Tokyo is so lively that it never sleeps. Somewhere on a nondescript street corner, at a small, somewhat cold noodle stall, a man and a woman are eating noodles and chatting to the boss at the same time.

"Listen to me, last night's gang fight was unusually intense." Kiritani sucked the ramen noodles and said excitedly, "I heard that after the police arrived at the scene, someone dared to shoot at the police, two police cars were scrapped, and the police even dispatched the Self-Defense Force, and those guys dared to resist." ”

"Yes, yes, why is He Renjun so keen on these lace news?" Tomorrow sighed helplessly, "But this is Tokyo, it's not a movie starring an action actor, and there is no such thing as a yakuza who dares to shoot at the police and the Self-Defense Forces, and any fight is just an unreasonable fight by the gangsters." ”

"No, no, no, it's Tomorrow that you trust the media reports too much." Kiritani explained with a serious face, "Tokyo is not as calm as it seems, with all kinds of tattoos tattooed on its body, a black trench coat and a black coat with gods and demons painted on the inner lining of the underworld. ”

Kiritani said with a mysterious expression: "They will wear black trench coats and carry long knives out of the clubhouse in the middle of the night, not to fight for territory, nor to seek revenge on the enemy. Instead, go and banish the alien ghosts......"

"Alright." The ramen boss, who had been reading the newspaper, interrupted him, "Making up stories to deceive girls is a big taboo for chasing girls, Kiritani, you are already a college student, you should have long passed the period of secondary two, right?" ”

"Why are you like this, boss!" Kiritani said with a look of frustration, "What I said is true, I have a gaming friend who has seen a man in black running around the building like a superhero like a ninja. He also took a video to show me, but after that, the phone was inexplicably infected with a virus, and the video was formatted and deleted. ”

The ramen boss's hand flipping through the newspaper paused suddenly, and then returned to normal and said, "That's how I read too many comics, and I said that I know a bastard Englishman who can stop time." ”

"So what? The world or the Crimson King? Boss, do you look at jojo too? Kiritani was excited at first, and then said a little helplessly, "But I can distinguish between the virtual world and reality, but some strange things have been happening around me recently, so I can't think about it this way." ”

"Strange things?" The ramen boss put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "Tell me about it." ”

"How can I say that...... Kiritani scratches his hair and hesitates, "I've been inexplicably lately, and I've seen some strange things a lot." ”

He looked up and looked around, even though the streets were so old, they were still lively at night in Tokyo. But just looking at such a lively street, there was an inexplicable trace of fear in his eyes.

"Sometimes, I see this neighborhood become extra barren." His voice narrowed, and he said cautiously, "I see that the houses in this neighborhood have become extremely dilapidated, the streets are overgrown with weeds, and there are bones that look like animals are thrown everywhere. ”

The ramen boss's face became serious, and he approached and asked, "What else do you see?" ”

Kiritani hesitated for a moment, as if he was recalling, and then a look of fear crept up on his face again: "I still see it...... Some monsters, some monsters with golden or red eyes and disgusting scales like snakes. Sometimes I wonder if it's because I've played too many video games that I'm visualizing the monsters in the game into reality. ”

The street lights flickered suddenly, startling everyone. It was as if something was standing in front of a street lamp, casting an invisible shadow over the entire street. Asukina rubbed her eyes as if she had seen something incredible, and then fear crept up on her face.

"Maybe that's right," said the ramen owner, sitting back down, his face lazy again, "young people should go out and walk more, love hotels or something should be your place to go, and it's not good for your health to stay in the dormitory all the time playing games." Of course, you should also go out in moderation and pay attention to safety. ”

The last second was still on the horror set, and the next second he was woken up by the old man, Kiritani said with a wry smile, "It's a love hotel when you open and close, and you pay attention to the safety that you will want to be crooked no matter how you think about it, boss, isn't your mind too dirty?" ”

"Well, I seem to have seen the same thing as Ren-kun, just now." Tomorrow Nai silently raised her hand, and said with a pale face, "I originally thought that I was hallucinating because of some exertion...... However, it doesn't seem like a hallucination. ”

"Won't it?" Kiritani was stunned for a moment and began to ask about the specific situation.

Then they were surprised to learn that they saw something about the same. There's no way to explain it with any illusion, that street may be real! They carefully looked at the street that had become very gloomy inexplicably, and in the shadows that the street lamps could not illuminate, it seemed that there was really something grinding their teeth and peeping secretly in this direction.

The ramen boss paused again, continued to pick up the newspaper and said, "Okay, you should go back, go to a crowded place to relax, go on a date or something." Don't keep running down some shabby old streets, this is not for you, and beware of a youkai who will drag you away when you meet demons. ”

"No, no, no, the most important thing to leave should be you, the boss, right?" Kiritani knew that he had probably really encountered a magical event that only existed in the game animation, and in the excitement and sanity of encountering this kind of event for the first time, he still chose the latter very soberly.

"And everyone on this street, if there is really anything strange, it would be better for everyone to move away." Tomorrow Nai said incoherently, "Why don't we call the police directly...... Ah, the police don't seem to care about this, why don't you go to the master of the shrine or temple to take a look? ”

Kiritani has a different opinion: "I think this is the time to go to the underworld that can kill ghosts, right?" Those monsters that look like ghosts, shrine priests, and temple monks probably can't solve it, right? Anyway, how can they get in touch, or go to Kabukicho to find ......"

Suddenly, the stall fell silent, and Kiritani and Asukina's faces became extremely pale. There was an incomparably cold feeling behind them, and someone ...... Or maybe it's not people who put their hands on their shoulders. At the same time, there was a sound in their ears that sounded like a ghost roaring or struggling.

Then, the inexplicable grinding sound and prying eyes that I felt before gradually disappeared. It's like, there's a stronger predator there. The ramen boss's eyes instantly became sharp, and his left hand quietly moved to the knife wrapped in the tarpaulin on the dining table, and his eyes were faintly lit up looking at the inexplicable guest.

"I'm sorry, I thought there was a little door behind the curtain." Pulling back the curtain to block the wind, Lu Ming sat down in the empty seat casually and asked in Japanese, "I seem to have heard someone discussing some interesting topic just now...... For example, the underworld or something. ”

Black suit! Although he wears glasses and looks like I'm a cultural person, Kiritani's attention is still on his suit. They hadn't forgotten the gossip they had just said, the underworld people wore black trench coats and black suits painted with gods and demons inside, and went out with knives to kill ghosts...... Although this person doesn't look like he is carrying a knife, is that kind of thing something that can be shown casually?

"Where, where, we're talking about games, I'm talking to my friends about the plot of "Like a Dragon 3"." The current Tonggu is like Ye Gong in Ye Gong's good dragon, quietly protecting Asuna, trying not to talk to this strange guest.

""Like a Dragon 3" said that I still wanted to buy it before......" Lu Mingfei nodded, and then stopped talking.

On the occasion of amnesty, Kiritani pulled Assuna away, and before leaving, he glanced at the ramen boss, roughly asking if he wanted to help him call the police. After the boss shook his head, he hid in a convenience store, and kept looking this way, probably if someone really wanted to make trouble, they would probably come over directly.

"What a nice guest." Lu Mingfei added.

"Although the boy is a little secondary, he is a very nice person, and the girl is also beautiful and kind, and she is willing to accompany the boy to this kind of place. They are all top students of Tokyo University, and no matter how you look at them, they are very commensurate people. The ramen owner said, "So, scare away such a cute guest for you." What to eat? ”

"I'm just banishing the Nibelungen mark from them." Lu Mingfei replied, "It's rare like this, no, it should be a physique that is unlucky and easy to get involved in the incident, and it won't take long to get lost there, and then become the ration for Deadpool wandering there." ”

The ramen chef paused, then calmly opened his ears and listened. Then, he noticed that the voices that ordinary people couldn't hear, but that they did exist, had disappeared at some point. The darkness that had been obscured by the street lamps disappeared and the whole street was bright again.

Realizing this, he fell into a long silence before he sighed and said, "Can't you imagine that in the past sixty years, such a powerful character has appeared in the Eight Families of Snake Qi?" ”

"Whose family are you descended from?" He asked, "Wind Demon Family?" No, these guys who can even be seen by ordinary people in their actions can't have such powerful offspring; Inuyama family? If it was a girl, I would have believed it; Miyamoto? Forget it, these guys are still all dead......"

"You seem to have mistaken something." Lu Mingfei interrupted his broken thoughts and pushed him out a business card, "Although some of them are keen to let me join, I am not from the Eight Snake Families. Someone introduced me to you, and I think you'll understand it when you read it. ”

The ramen boss picked up his business card and looked at it, then frowned, his expression gradually turning disgusted. On the business card was an Englishman's name: Hilbert Jean Angers.
