Behind the University of Tokyo, in the middle of a cordoned off old street.

"Listen, I'm an alchemist by profession, not a professional doctor, and you may not get the results you want from me." In a makeshift laboratory, the vice-chancellor placed two sealed blood samples into an alchemy device with quaint carved lines on the surface.

"Don't talk so much nonsense, if you want to help, you will help." Uesugi Koshi, who was sitting on the side, picked up the vice principal's flask, and was about to drink it, then hesitated for a moment and replaced it with clear tea.

Taking a sip of tea, he said, "But you are an authority in terms of dragon blood, and the secrets that the Eight Snake Qi families thought they had hidden for thousands of years were dug up by you in a few decades. ”

"Not decades." The vice-principal took the flask and took a sip,

"It's not even a week, it's not hard for me to figure out these things, the main thing is that Ange wants you to take it lightly, which is why it's been delaying for so long."

“…… I've always known his cunning. Uesugi said, putting down the cup. At this moment, the closed door was opened, and Ange walked in.

"I think I heard someone saying bad things about me." Ange looked around, sat down in the corner,

"But I came back a little late, and I missed what might sound like a good story."

"It's really late, two foreigners take control of two of Japan's biggest underworlds or something." The Vice Chancellor put down the empty bottle and shrugged at him,

"But it's not too late, because there's more to come." Ange poured himself a cup of tea: "Oh, yes, then I'll have to look forward to it." Without further rambling, the vice-principal sat back down in front of the alchemy equipment and began tinkering.

Ange glanced sideways at Uesugi Koshi, as if he wanted to talk to him, but the other party looked absent-minded, looking at the position of the vice principal from time to time, and didn't seem to have the heart to talk at all.

Curious about this, Ange silently withdrew his gaze, waiting for the so-called hot news from the vice principal.

"Ho, this is really ......" The vice principal, who was silently operating in front of the alchemy equipment, suddenly let out an exclamation,

“…… That's an incredible result. ”

"Is there a result?" Uesugi almost jumped up and left the stool, lying next to the vice principal.

The vice principal glanced at him lightly, and a slight surprise flashed in his eyes and said, "There is indeed a result, but it is about you." Ange got up and stood on the other side of the vice-principal and asked, "What is the result?" The vice-principal did not answer him immediately, handed over a piece of paper and said, "It's all written on it, you can read it yourself." Emperor...... It's a monster. Unable to help but be a little curious, Ange took the paper and read it slowly, and then his brows gradually furrowed.

After being silent for a long time, he stuffed something like a medical examination report to Uesugi Koshi, who came over to look at it.

"The whole body is failing, the cranial nerves and blood vessels are closing, and the cardiovascular system is overgrown with strange things......" Ange sat back in his chair and silently pulled out his cigarette to light it.

Then he thought of the symptoms written on the paper, put away his cigarette and picked up his tea: "This is indeed exciting news, and I am really grateful that you can still stand here and be alive and kicking now." Uesugi also frowned: "It's a little more serious than last time...... No, you can find out that much with just a little blood sample? I had to go to several hospitals to figure it out. The vice principal silently turned his head and glanced at him as if he was looking at the countryman: "Don't confuse science with alchemy, and don't think about using science to explain speech and alchemy. ”

"What started?" Ange asked silently,

"According to what I said above, I don't think it's strange that you die in front of me in the next second." Uesugi put away the report and said with the same face: "It's been thirty years, and for the past few decades, I've been listening to the sound of death talking to me every day. Ange played with the empty cup and said, "You look optimistic." ”

"What else? Is it unfounded to hold a report every day? Uesugi shrugged indifferently,

"I am a human being and not a real god, and the imperial blood has given me only superpowers, not immortality. I'm not like you, the life expectancy of the emperors is not high. You don't have to worry if I die suddenly and no one cares about this place, I have commissioned a company to send you a letter after my death with everything I know, and you will be the gatekeeper who must bear the burden of loneliness here. ”

"But I'm glad you came to Japan before I died, and you turned it upside down, which saved me a lot of trouble." He continued,

"Even if I dump this stall to you now, it's no problem to go back to France and wait for death."

“…… Seeing that you can still fight ten at a time, you shouldn't be able to die for a while. Ang lit up his cigarette and exhaled a long breath,

"But you probably won't be able to go back to France until the matter is settled here." Uesugi waved his shoulders indifferently: "If I want to leave, I think no one will be able to stop me." ”

"If you wanted to leave, you would have had countless chances to leave." Ange looked at him and replied.

"Okay, that's it." Uesugi looked at the vice principal, who was still sitting in front of the alchemy equipment, and said,

"I asked you to help me see it, but it's not this."

"I know, I'm just curious about the emperor's physique." The vice-principal replied, and turned his head to cover his head.

Ange poured himself another cup of tea, and by the way, he refilled the cup for Uesugi Etsu. He was a little curious, if Uesugi Yue's physical condition was not good news, what else could he count?

In the midst of Uesugi being a little impatient, like a father waiting outside the delivery room for the birth of his child, the vice principal stood up and stretched out.

He took a new report, picked up the unopened wine, took two sips, and then handed it to Uesugi and said, "Do you want me to say it or do you see it yourself?" Uesugi Koshi, who looked a little nervous, took the bottle, took a sip of it, then wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said, "You say, I don't think I can understand the nouns on it." The vice principal shrugged his shoulders and said, "To put it simply, the two samples are in line with the characteristics of kinship, and the cumulative parent-child probability is more than 99 percent......

"Stop!" Uesugi stopped him suddenly,

"Can you be a little more plain?" No more talking, the vice-principal looked at him and nodded silently.

Then Uesugi Yue's whole person seemed to be frozen, standing in place without any reaction, like a stone carving.

Ange took the new report in the vice-principal's hand, and as before, he was stunned as he read it.

He put the report on the table and handed it to Uesugi Koshi, who was still like a stone statue, looked at him deeply and said, "When did you have a son?" With a long breath, Uesugi sat down in his chair as if his strength had been drained.

He took another sip of the bottle: "...... I also want to ask, I've always had insurance. Who gave birth to it? Yui, Chiyoko or Tatsuru...... It's a bit too much, I can't remember. ”

"Wait, what do you mean? Who are these Yui and Tatsuru? Ange paused suddenly, and looked straight at Uesugi Yue who was spread out on the chair.

Uesugi looked up and glanced at him silently: "Literally, even if the physical examination report says that I am about to die, I am still a normal man, and there will be needs." As for them, do you remember the owner of the kimono shop before? She is one of them. ”

“…… Is this what you call the loneliness that gatekeepers have to endure? Ange let out a long breath,

"I originally thought that you would stay on the old street with a bitter and vengeful face, cursing the imperial blood and cursing the Snake Qi Eight Family, but you told me that your life in the past few decades has been quite exciting!" He felt like he was going crazy, and the guy who was telling him that he was going to die a second couldn't even remember the name of the woman he slept with.

Why is it that his friends around him are not people like Pompey, or people like the vice-principal?

"Although the stallions don't have a common language, I salute you for the sake of a body like you who dare to continue to work hard." The vice principal opened another bottle of wine and raised it to Uesugi Koshi.

"Well, I'm pretty sure I'm doing a very safe job." Uesugi reached out and interrupted their words,

"I know very well what the imperial blood is, and I can't let this continue to happen." Ange didn't speak, and pushed the parent-child report forward.

Looking at the report silently, Uesugi suddenly said, "I think I probably know how he came here." ”

"Tell me about it." The vice-principal also found a chair to sit on. Uesugi took the cigar that Angers had placed on the table, lit one for himself, exhaled a long puff of green smoke, and said, "Hitler built a huge gene pool in order to prove that the Germanic people were pure-blooded Aryans and the best people in the world. At that time, the Eight Families of Snake Qi were suffering from the fact that it was not easy to have descendants with imperial blood, so they packed my genetic samples and sent them to Germany......"

"You want to say, your son is an IVF?" Ange raised an eyebrow.

"Perhaps, this is also just the right time for the Yuan family...... The kid said that he was probably from Russia. Uesugi took a sip of wine and said,

"It is not surprising that Germany's legacy after its defeat was divided between the United States and the Soviet Union." Uesugi looked at the vice principal with a confused expression and asked, "It's just that that bit of gene can really make IVF?" The vice principal shrugged: "You said it yourself, when that god of yours came into your hands, it was just a small piece of bone." Uesugi leaned back in his chair and muttered, "So, when I was self-righteous to prevent the Imperial Blood Bearer from continuing to be born, you guy with my blood swaggered and betrayed the Snake Qi Eight Family and then the Oni Clan...... It's ironic. ”

"They, to be exact." Ange said silently,

"Don't forget, he also has an elder brother, the current emperor of the Eight Snake Clan." Uesugi was silent for a long time before he asked in a low voice, "...... What kind of person is he? Without speaking, Ange took out his mobile phone and pushed it over, and on it was a student photo of Yuan Zhisheng when he was still in school.

Uesugi looked at the photo on his phone, and fell into a long silence again.

“…… I've seen him. He said suddenly, his voice a little hoarse,

"That day, he brought a very beautiful girl to my stall to eat noodles. And after they left, he ...... The young girl came to my booth and sat down. Ange looked at him silently and said, "Perhaps, this is fate." ”

"I mean, about the fact that their biological father is me, don't tell them yet." Uesugi stroked his forehead,

"I'm not ready to face my two sons, except if it's a daughter."

"I agree with this, girls are always the cutest in the world." The vice-principal toasted him. Ange looked at the somewhat decadent and confused Uesugi and said, "I think you have to rest for a few days, such a confused mental state is not suitable for the next battle." ”

"You're right, I need a few days off." Uesugi nodded slowly. Then, the house they were in suddenly shook slightly.

He raised his head and frowned: "This is not a good sign for the earthquake at this time." Ange also looked up in unison: "No, it's not an earthquake, it's an explosion!" "After staying at the Kassel Academy for a long time and experiencing many times of devastation by the Equipment Department, it is not difficult for them to distinguish whether it is an earthquake or an explosion.

Pushing open the door, he came outside and shouted, "Where did the explosion come from?" The researcher of the Equipment Department, who was quite professional and even a little inexplicably excited, quickly replied: "This kind of movement is an explosion underground, yes, it looks like a sewer, as for the location, ......" He said here and sighed: "It's Genji Heavy Industries!" Uesugi pauses in his breath, and he quickly pulls back the tarp to look into the distance.

Under the night sky, the lights were bright in the distance, and the rather conspicuous building was slowly emitting smoke. …… Time is pulled back a little, Genji Heavy Industries, within Shinto, Genji Zhisheng frowned and looked at Tachibana Masamune in front of him in military uniform and asked, "What did you just say...... We? ”

"Yes, we do. We are all unnaturally born humans, that is, artificial humans that have been a lot of talk until now. Tachibana Masamune nodded,

"My maternal genome comes from a guy named Chiyo Tachibana, and although I haven't seen her yet, she is real. And you ......" he looked at Gen Zhisheng and said, "Your paternal genome comes from a man named Uesugi Yue, and he is the last emperor of the Snake Qi Eight family before you. Yuan Zhisheng's breath paused unconsciously, as the heir of the Eight Snake Qi families, the famous emperor in history was his study object, but he had never heard of this name.

"It's normal that you don't know him, because he's gone mad, crazy enough to burn down the family's shrine, destroy the spiritual throne of the samurai who are loyal to the family, and then flee the family." Tachibana Masamune looked up and looked at the burn marks on the inner wall of the shrine and said,

"He's still a mixed race, he's of Chinese, French and Japanese ancestry, and he's always considered himself a Frenchman." He hugged Yuan Zhisheng's shoulders and said solemnly: "But you are different, as the prince who inherited his bloodline, and the foreshadowing for you, you are considered absolutely orthodox by the lower five families, and there is no doubt that you are the new emperor of the eight families of Snake. ”

“…… None of that is left to chance. Yuan Zhisheng pushed his hand away,

"That's just part of your confession, right, let's talk about the rest." Tachibana Masamune was stunned for a moment, then sat cross-legged on the tatami mat and said, "That was my long-planned escape......"
