"At the end of World War II, the previous generation of the Inuyama family head committed suicide in fear of crime, and only the head of the Inuyama family and two sisters remained." Yoshitaka Hasegawa glared back one by one at the angry gazes that were cast at him,

"They robbed the Inuyama family of property and girls, forced the eldest sister of the family head to death, and even wanted to execute the head of the family who was the youngest son in the name of apology! If it weren't for the second sister of the head of the family who found shelter, the Inuyama family would no longer exist, and do you know what she paid for it? Speaking of these pasts that even Inuyama He may want to forget or even want to face, Hasegawa Yoshitaka's eyes seem to be about to eat people.

As a descendant of the retainers of the Inuyama family, he saw the ugly face of the Snake Eight family at that time.

And after Inuyama He became the first head of the Japanese branch, these guys who fell into the well stuck up with a shy face, pretending to want to apologize, while secretly scolding the head of the family for being a lackey of the secret party, and shamelessly seeking the protection of the Inuyama family, Yoshitaka Hasegawa, who was the director of the executive bureau at the time, was almost about to explode.

"Sixty years, the Inuyama family has done their best for the Snake Eight family for sixty years after that, helping the rest of the family tide over the economic collapse, and using the money earned by the girls you look down on to support your elite who are high." Yoshitaka Hasegawa's golden eyes swept over one by one.

As one of the very few elders in his family, his qualifications were even deeper than those of many family heads, and almost no one present dared to look at him.

"It's time for the Inuyama family to say goodbye to all of you." He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the gold in his eyes disappeared, and he looked at the people present with an expressionless face,

"If you want to scold a traitor, you feel insulted, and if you want to clean up the door for your family, I will wait for you, and the old man will retire." After that, Yoshitaka Hasegawa left with the girls who learned about the bitter history of the family behind him, and their expressions were either confused or crying.

Someone subconsciously wanted to stand in front of them, but was defeated in front of his indifferent gaze.

"Patriarch! Young Lord! Someone anxiously reminded him that there was still Yuan Zhisheng, and they were probably the only ones present who could stop this farce.

It's just that Tachibana Masamune was silent, and Gen Zhisheng didn't say a word, quietly watching them leave the Tamamo former club that had turned into ruins.

"The family really owes the Inuyama family a lot." Tachibana Masamune let out a long sigh,

"Since they have no intention of participating in the struggle, let them recuperate."

"Understood, I'm going to capture the exposed spy." Yuan Zhisheng nodded silently and left with the commissioner of the Executive Directorate.

Tachibana Masamune turned to get into another car, silently watching the two waves of people leave in opposite directions, and then silently raised the window.

…… Rolls-Royce cars with Inuyama family logos slowly drove out of the quiet streets, and outside the streets, the yakuza of the Snake Eight Family and the police in Tokyo pushed each other, and people in the distance held their mobile phones to watch the excitement.

Until he saw the red ghost sign of the Inuyama family, the underworld and the police tacitly agreed to get out of the way. Ange in the back seat shook his wine glass and said softly: "Your decisiveness surprised me a little, you refused to keep you in the department before, I thought you would fight everything for that 'righteousness'." Sitting respectfully beside him like a student, Inuyamaga looked through the rearview mirror and watched the dilapidated Tamamo front club behind him get smaller and smaller.

He sighed and said, "The current Snake Eight Family is not the Snake Eight Family of the past, and it is possible to modify the former Tamamo Club without me knowing, and the top of the main family ...... Even among the heads of each family, there must be someone who betrayed his family and became the lackey of the ghosts. ”

"The ghosts...... A group of madmen gathered by madmen. Ange said leisurely,

"But the ghosts still have spies or something, it's none of your business anymore, someone else will deal with it."

"Anyone else?" Inuyamaga glanced sideways at Ange, he had given the Japanese branch a great deal of autonomy, and it seemed that he didn't care about it, but in fact it seemed that a lot of chess pieces had been buried.

"Don't ask, I'm just borrowing someone else's light." Faced with his question, Ange replied with a somewhat inexplicable sentence.

Then he looked out the window and muttered, "I'm not just looking for you...... I'm just talking about the past," Inuyama He's expression grimaced: "...... Is it God? Ange still looked out the window: "It's not God, God's search is another group of people in charge, but it has a lot to do with her." "Another group of people?

Inuyama remembered the Black Hawk helicopter that was hanging in the air with a knife, and he couldn't see his face with the light on his back, and he was sure that he hadn't seen it, but he felt familiar to him inexplicably.

"Shhhhh......h The driver and Inuyamaga nodded, and the cabin was suddenly quiet.

The driver drove quietly according to the address given by Ange, and the surrounding streets gradually became cold, and for a moment, only the sound of the car engine running and the tires rubbing against the ground sounded.

Then Inuyamaga frowned, and he heard other voices besides the voice above.

It was like the claw rubbing against a hard stone, and it was like the sound of a snake's belly slashing across the ground.

"Sure enough, something has changed over there because of the landing of the gods." He heard Ange in his ear say in a very solemn tone,

"It seems that we are in big trouble...... "A black figure suddenly flashed outside the front windshield, and the nervous driver subconsciously wanted to step on the brakes.

"Don't stop!" Ange in the back seat reminded him,

"They can't reach the outside yet, and if they stop, they realize we've found them." Holding the hilt of the sword tightly, Inuyama He couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat on his head: "Teacher, what are those?" The driver could only see a dark shadow, but the bloodline was far superior to him, and he was able to discover more, and his soul trembled.

"In your accounts, it seems that the more ancient hybrids are, the more powerful they become, right?" Ange was silent for a moment, as if he didn't see a dark shadow passing outside.

Inuyamaga nodded: "...... Yes, the shrine that records the history of the Eight Clans of Snake was burned down, but such rumors have been handed down. Legend has it that before the advent of human civilization, the ancestors of the eight families who received the favor of the gods were far more powerful than they are now, and almost every one of them was ...... Emperor! ”

"The closer the bloodline gets to the dragon, the less human-like it becomes." Ange said silently,

"The snake people depicted on the pillars of Takamagahara, but in the end they were buried with the Yaqi Orochi, are the ancestors of the Eight Snakes family, the ancient super hybrids." Inuyamaga's breathing couldn't help but stop, and in the end, only a city was left in the water of the ancient glory.

"However, your bloodline determines that your strength does not come without a price." Ange continued,

"Demons, your old enemies, your dark side, your brothers...... Today's ghosts have caused you a lot of trouble, but when you go back to ancient times, what were the ghosts like at that time? ”

"By the Emperor...... Fallen ghost ......" Inuyamaga's voice gradually became smaller, and his body couldn't stop trembling,

"Does that place really exist?"

"Of course there is." An unfamiliar voice answered him,

"The Eclipse of the Night, the place of the Fallen Emperor." Inuyama He was stunned, and the driver was also taken aback, obviously the car had not stopped, but at some point, there was another person in the car.

He sat beside Ange, his gray hair covered in a turban, and his oil-stained apron, which was out of place with the expensive Rolls-Royce, like the owner of a ramen stall who had just closed his stall.

There was an extremely pungent smell of blood on his body, and the long bag he carried with him was dripping with black liquid, which fell on the precious carpet in the carriage, emitting sizzling white smoke.

"I asked him to come up." Ange, who sat in the middle, said. Inuyamaga's voice trembled a little: "You, no, you ......"

"Okay, to hell with the feudal dross of bullshit." Uesugi said,

"There is no last emperor here, only ramen chefs who are worried about their livelihood tomorrow." Inuyama took a deep breath, regained his composure after a long time, and said, "I see, Mr. Uesugi. Uesugi glanced at the driver, who was a little stunned, and the latter continued to move forward obediently, and then he said leisurely: "I heard that not only the Uesugi family, but also the Tachibana family and the Gen family have a new owner. ”

“…… Yes. Inuyamaga replied in a whisper,

"The eldest patriarch, the young master, and the young lady have all passed the bloodline test, confirming that it is the bloodline of the three inner families, and there are ......" He looked at Uesugi Yue and hesitated for a moment, and continued to whisper: "The young master has confirmed that he has awakened the imperial blood, and he is the next generation of patriarchs, and ...... Shadow Emperor. ”

"Blind, all blind, you and that Wind Demon Kotaro are blind." Uesugi glanced at him,

"The Tachibana family and the Gen family are dead, I'm sure of that. As for what bloodline test, with modern technology, it is not impossible to confuse the past, as for the Uesugi family......" He paused, and his gaze gradually darkened: "...... As for the Uesugi family, there will be no descendants anymore. ”

"Don't be so categorical." Ange silently interrupted him,

"If there really is a descendant of someone in this world, it is you who will be slapped in the face."

"No is nothing." Uesugi glanced at Inuyama, who was silent for some reason,

"Forget it, I didn't call you here to say that." He turned his head to look out the window, obviously still in the middle of the downtown of Tokyo, but it was extremely dark and quiet outside.

All the sounds of the earthly world disappeared, and all that remained here was the screaming of evil spirits, and the endless silence.

"Be careful, the return of the gods has changed the Eclipse of the Night." Uesugi Yue's eyes lit up with a faint dark gold,

"It's expanding outward, starting from that old street, it's constantly expanding outward, and the things inside are trying their best to crawl out......"

“…… Until, all over Tokyo. ”…… On the shores of Atami, the residual heat makes this small hot spring town near the sea lively.

People who survived the catastrophe soaked in the hot springs and drank wine to celebrate their escape from the natural disaster once again.

It's just that what makes them a little strange is that the Blackstone Mansion on the top of the mountain is usually brightly lit, but today it is quiet and a little scary.

Outside the dimly lit mansion, soldiers from the Russian ice fields patrolled vigilantly, knowing what their enemies were.

In the office in the deepest part of the mansion, Jiude Mai, Zero, and Su Enxi, who had sobered up, looked silently at the empty desk in front of them, with only a few petals falling on it.

The person who had previously sat in the seat had vanished, and had entered the chalky tower with the help of the petals.

“…… I'm going back to Tokyo, and I'll tell them the order he left behind. Breaking the silence, Zero turned and walked towards the somewhat untimely mirror in the corner of the room.

Jiude Mai also nodded and said, "Understood, then I'll go and prepare." ”

"Hey, hey, you're not going to want to leave me here, are you?" Su Enxi hurriedly followed. Jiude Mai glanced at her: "Are you sure you want to go to Tokyo with you?" It's going to be a battlefield. On the contrary, although the guards here are a little worse, they are outside the battlefield, and they are safe, and there is a chief secretary of the Gattuso family to call you. Su Enxi's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he sat back with a smile: "You can go with confidence, I will guard our rear!" ”

"Feel like you're setting up some flag......" Mai glanced at her again, and her figure disappeared into the rippling mirror with Zero.

Not long after they left, Su Enxi, who inexplicably felt lonely, turned his eyes to the side of the wine cabinet, and then sat back frightened by a knock on the door.

"Who?" She asked, sitting precariously.

"It's me, Miss Su." Patsy's voice rang out outside the door,

"I don't intend to disturb Miss Su's rest, it's just that the gentleman who came not long ago has left, and he asked me to tell Miss Su, please look forward to his vote."

"Really? Then I'll look forward to it...... ...... Far from the downtown area of Osaka, located on the map and in the mountains invisible to satellites, the luxurious palace is as brilliant as a mirage, and it is still open today, even after experiencing the darkness that seems like the end of the world.

In the lively hall, the laughter of the winners and the screams of the losers were mixed with the shaking of the dice and the shuffling of the cards, which seemed so insignificant.

In such an environment where everyone is crazy, there are people who are at the table, but their hearts drift elsewhere.

Generally speaking, in order to make gamblers addicted, there are no clocks in casinos, and things related to timing are rarely seen in casinos.

But in a corner of the hall, the manager lady, who is still beautiful and moving, attracts countless eyes, I don't know how many times she has looked at the watch on the inside of her wrist.

She still smiled at the guests who were pushing down large sums of chips and gambling, and her face as beautiful as a peach blossom under the light made people lose their minds.

But no one could see that she was distracted, and even slightly flustered. She's waiting for someone, waiting for a man who needs her help, but hasn't arrived.
