As Gu Bei said, this is a transaction.

What the Inhuman group needs is more time to develop and a more stable environment, while the secret party needs an anomaly unique to the Inhuman.

In a sense, it's a win-win.

Since it is to talk about business, then there must be an attitude of talking about business, you can't just flip the table as soon as you come up, although Gu Bei has enough strength, he is not a crow of the East Star Society.

Even if you buy vegetables in the vegetable market, you have to bargain.

Of course, Gu Bei can also use both hands to control one of the few people present, and then control the secret party as the mastermind behind the scenes.

But then there is a problem.

It looks like it can do anything, it can do anything, but it's really not omnipotent.

The more powerful the life, the easier it is to perceive changes in the soul.

At the beginning, Norton was able to be hacked by Gu Bei, it was because he was caught off guard by Gu Bei before he woke up, in fact, although the soul level of the half-breed is extremely low, it is not a plasticine that can be rounded and flattened casually.

When Gu Bei established Everywhere at the beginning, it took a lot of effort to control those A-level people before they could subtly move their hands and feet in the soul.

Gu Bei left a soul mark on these people on the scene, maybe there was no problem, but once he modified it and manipulated it, he would be immediately detected.

Unless you get knocked out.

Moreover, there is such a thing as the soul that heals itself.

Although the missing part can never be retrieved, the modified memory will be disconnected from the original soul, and the abruptness is very serious.

This is also the reason why Gu Bei is less and less able to manipulate other people's souls with his hands.

Not to mention the secret party, even when dealing with the family, Gu Bei did not use both hands.

Take a few steps back and say, no matter where you fight with the family, everyone is also a family, and how to do it behind closed doors is your own family's business, so Gu Beida can be stronger, and it doesn't matter if you use some outrageous means.

But the same attitude cannot be placed on the negotiating table with the secret party.

As the most powerful organization in the mixed-race group, the secret party has been in business for so many years, and its strength should not be underestimated.

They may not have any high-end combat power comparable to Gu Bei, but the mid-to-low-end combat power is enough to clean up the living force of the entire Inhuman group.

When the time comes, what's the use of Gu Bei being strong, he is not alone.

Therefore, what Gu Bei has to do is not to compete for interests at the negotiating table, but to put on a peaceful attitude.

Inhumans and half-breeds, these two forces are like two equal countries, and the best thing to do is to be polite to each other until they are completely hostile.

Of course, if it is really determined that it is hostile, Gu Bei will not be soft.

At that time, it will not be a matter of both hands.

Directly take out the soul and brush it to the spirit commander, and after improving the craft, then use the dragon alchemy you just learned to make a living spirit.

Direct one-stop service.

But now the relationship between the two sides has not reached that point, but is in an ambiguous period of mutual temptation.

Salute first and then soldier should be the normal tone.

Due to the appearance of a certain person, this emergency school board meeting ended hastily, and several school directors got into their own cars and went back to their respective homes.

Although it is said that you should think about it, but what it is actually for, only God knows.

Gu Bei knew that if they didn't let these guys investigate, they wouldn't settle down to trade, and maybe they would try their best to swallow the existing Inhuman forces.

As for whether the other party chose peace or war after the results of the investigation, Gu Bei didn't care.

Anywhere may not be able to face the entire secret party, but it is still possible to pick out two families at random.

Otherwise, you can't fight evenly with the five major families.

To be honest, Anywhere is equivalent to the sum of the strength of the two families, and as long as the five major families can work together, Anywhere will definitely not be able to stop it.

But this is not possible.

The five major families have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, and now they can unite to fight against Anywhere, which is already the bottom line of cooperation.

Although this alliance is only superficial, it is enough that no one dares to break it one by one, and the two sides are at a stalemate.

But it also gives Everywhere room to sow discord.

In the same way, it is unlikely that the secret party's family will cooperate in the face of such a large benefit.

There are always people who choose to cooperate, and there are always people who choose war.

Now all you have to do is wait, wait for the chicken that wants to be killed, jump out, and wave the knife in your hand.

That's enough.

Sow discord, kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, and spend 36 strategies for dying cards, there is always one for you.

December 25, 2008, 10:28 p.m. Japan time.

Winter in Tokyo is a different kind of beauty.

It's about a 20-minute walk from the Hyatt Regency to Shinjuku Gyoen, and the streets are filled with a super Christmas atmosphere.

Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden is the largest Japanese garden in Tokyo, a combination of a French garden, with cherry blossoms in spring, a Japanese garden in summer, autumn foliage in autumn, and a poignant feeling in winter.

Tickets cost 200 yen and you can spend the whole day shopping.

People who come here like to find a street café and take a latte to the park to drink, there are many good coffee shops on the streets of Tokyo, in addition to some famous shops, in fact, there are many niche and literary options.

Eri Yi sat alone in a café, looking through the glass at the men and women who came and went around her, like an old monk participating in Zen, and like a Buddha Shitaili, with a harmless face full of people and animals.

Late at night in Shinjuku, the whole city is quiet in the hustle and bustle of izakaya yakiniku restaurants on weekends, drunk people leaning against street corners, and stylishly dressed boys and girls on the subway are preparing to change places and go to Shibuya.

Eri has been in this position for four hours, and even the members of the Eight Snake Clans who are sitting not far away have changed twice, but her posture has not moved at all.

Of course, she couldn't have come out alone, although the Snake Eight Family had given her enough authority and freedom, but the surveillance she should have was no less.

Although he left the "non-existent floor", he still couldn't escape the fate of being watched.

It's nothing more than a smaller cage for a larger one.

Moreover, because of the recent upward trend of her bloodline, the family is discussing whether to lock her back up, but because of her brother's strong protection, there is still someone who has no way to make up her mind in the short term.

But even so, the girl was already very happy.

Because it was the freedom that the boy had brought her, she had never experienced before.

The girl with a beautiful face sat here, thinking about it, when suddenly a smile appeared, like a flower blooming.

This was an expression that had never appeared on a girl's face before, and it made her more beautiful in an instant.

But no one stepped forward to talk, not counting some people who were stopped by the guards, the reason why most people didn't come forward is actually very simple.

It's too far away.

The girl sat there, far away like a paper doll sitting on the moon, people loved the moon, but few had the courage to walk towards it.

I don't know how long I've been sitting, but Eri finally has a move.

She shouted softly, "Ryuji." ”

Now she can speak very fluently, and there is no problem with daily communication.

Recalling that more than a year ago, she was still stumbling and slurring her words, and even her voice became hoarse because she didn't speak for many years, and now she can even read a passage.

The cost is that you can no longer use your words as you please.

The price of perfection, isn't it?

A man with black-rimmed glasses walked over: "Miss." ”

His name is Ryuji, Zuobo Ryuji, but few people call him by his name, and everyone prefers to call him Raven.

There are always some nicknames for those who mix on the road, everyone is like this, he followed the young master when he was very young, and he was called the crow at that time.

No one had called his name for many years, even his young master and the girls he liked called him "crow" and "crow", and over time he even forgot that he had another name called Zuo Bo Longzhi.

But the eldest lady never called him a crow.

Ever since she could speak, she had been very serious about calling everyone by name, and she had always used "Ryuji" to him.

Even the guy who didn't have a name in the first place was given a name by the young lord because of this incident.

There is a feeling of being called by name...... Not bad.

"I want to walk around." Eri said.

The crow looked at his watch: "At this time, we should go back, the banquet at the headquarters should almost start, and today's protagonists are you and the young master." ”

"I don't want to go back." Eri is rare to be willful once.

The crow thought for a while: "That's it, I'll drive the eldest lady and you around Chiyoda twice, if the young master comes to the news, we will go back to Chiyoda directly, how about it?" ”

"Okay." Eri nodded in agreement.

The car started and drove slowly away from the café.

Coming out of Shinjuku, head north into Bunkyo Ward.

It is considered to be the academic district of Tokyo, and it is home to many of Japan's national and private universities, middle schools, and higher schools, so it has the reputation of being a cultural and educational district.

The main campus of the University of Tokyo, Japan's highest university, is located in this area.

There is also the Tokyo Dome, a large indoor baseball stadium that was completed in 1990.

The car drove through the side street behind the back entrance of the National University of Tokyo, and a wooden van was parked on the side of the street.

Known in Japan as the ramen house trolley, this rickshaw is designed to sell ramen noodles in the streets, with windows open to create a canopy, and two wooden benches placed under the canopy, where customers sit and eat noodles while the ramen chef operates.

The sparrows are small and well-stocked, the soup pots and ingredients are neatly arranged on the eucalyptus board, and when the guests sit down, the dark blue cloth is just right to cover their upper bodies, creating an intimate environment.

Compared with the "famous ramen" in the store, the environment and taste of this roof are a little worse, but the price is also a lot cheaper, and most of the people who come here to eat noodles are poor students from Todairi.

Eri said suddenly, "I'm hungry. ”

The crow caught it casually: "Then let's go back, the banquet should have begun." ”

"Not going back," Eri shook her head, "I want to eat that." ”

She pointed to the ramen stall and looked at the crow.

After the crow looked entangled, he agreed, and took Eri to the stall.

The rest of the cars were parked not far away.

The crow sat in the house cart with the painted pear clothes: "Master, it's so late, and you still don't close the stall?" ”

"It's going to be closed right away, you two are just in luck."

The ramen chef replied as he cleaned up the bowl.

This ramen chef should be quite young, with his white hair combed neatly parted, wearing a white linen uniform unique to a ramen master, and a black towel tied to his forehead, looking as if he has dealt with ramen all his life.

The ramen chef casually looked at the long line of black cars outside and asked, "Two noodle students, aren't they students here?" ”

The crow smiled: "How can you be so sure, could it be that you have seen all the students in this school?" ”

"That's not it," the ramen chef put a towel over his shoulder, "but the people who come to eat here are all regular customers, and they are all familiar with it...... What to eat? ”

"Tonkotsu ramen." Eri is concise and to the point.

"Bring me a bowl of seafood ramen...... Put more shrimp. ”

"Okay."

"Oh, by the way," the crow raised his hand, pointed to Eri beside him, and then pointed to the small 14-inch color TV above the soup pot, "What, please turn it off." ”

On the screen, the woman in the bathrobe faded to her waist wraps her hands around her hands, squeezing them into a clear gully, and it looks like she is about to bite the straw.

This was supposed to be a little entertainment for the master when there were no guests, but he didn't expect that there would be guests late at night.

Of course, it may also be because he cares too much about certain things and distracts the master.

It's a good thing to lose, otherwise the crow would have taken out his gun at this time and turned the small TV that was a little old into a hornet's nest.

Eri Yi didn't know why, she couldn't understand what was going on TV at all, and looked at the two old hooligans present with a pure face.

The corner of the ramen chef's mouth twitched, and he quickly turned off the TV.

"Maria Ozawa? Too old-fashioned, right? Raven quipped.

"In my time, she was just popular."

The master stirred the soup pot as he spoke, his expression was focused, it was clearly a vulgar topic, but there was still some faint ...... in his tone Proud?

The crow was a little speechless, feeling that this topic might teach bad children, so he quickly stopped.

"Tonkotsu ramen and seafood ramen, trouble a little faster."

"Don't worry."

There was silence in the small house cart, and Eri began to look out through the small glass again, and the crow lowered her head, busy asking the young master when to go back, but what she got was the reply "If Eri doesn't want to come back, you can play with her for a while".

The ramen chef is dedicated to two things, and while hanging the soup, he looks at these two "high-status" customers.

In fact, he had already guessed the origin of the other party, but the other side didn't recognize him, and he didn't need to blow up his identity, now he was just an old man making ramen.

But......

Why is this little girl so familiar?
