"You should have guessed some of the truth."

At the end of the meeting, the gang members of the Eight Families of the Snake Clan left the venue in an orderly manner after chanting "Do the will".

Tachibana Masamune's body has been ordered to be sent to the Iwayu Research Institute, and although Gen Zhisheng doesn't expect to find out any information on it, there is still a face-saving project to be done.

This is a means to calm the hearts of the eight families of the snake.

The door to the shrine closed again, and only the four members of the action team and Eri Genji were left in the room.

"Huh? Guess what?" Fingal picked his nose with his little thumb, "If you're talking about something that you and Gu Bei don't know what they're planning, then we did guess."

Caesar and Natsumi clasped their hands and nodded approvingly.

Chu Zihang leaned against the wall on the side with his eyes closed, not saying a word.

Eri lowered her head, her head slammed to the ground, as if she was about to fall asleep.

Yuan Zhisheng sighed: "Sure enough, I still can't hide it from you, but also, Gu Bei doesn't seem to have planned to hide it from you from the beginning, and that guy's trust in you is surprisingly high."

At the mention of this topic, Caesar and Fingal's eyes involuntarily fell on Natsumi.

Indeed, I don't know why, Gu Bei seems to be deliberately letting them know something, whether it is the relationship between the Eight Snake Families and the Menggui Clan, as well as the White King, or Xia Mi's true identity.

In fact, these things can be completely concealed, just like Xia Mi's identity, Gu Bei can save a few people before Xia Mi's identity is revealed, or simply not let them go out on a mission, and it is not impossible to go to the sea to kill Behemoth.

But now this situation is like Gu Bei did it on purpose.

"What the hell are you planning?" Caesar's fingers tapped rhythmically on the table to create a sense of oppression.

This kind of negotiation skill has become a habit of Caesar, but unfortunately, it is of little use to Gen Zhisheng.

"You should ask him about this kind of thing," Gen Zhisheng smoothed the wrinkles on the Shadow Emperor's robes, "My goal is just to clean up the pests and revitalize the Eight Snake Clans."

"So, if there is a conflict between Kassel's approach and the plans of the Eight Snakes, you will mercilessly lead the Eight Families to break with the Academy...... Right?" Chu Zihang, who had never spoken, finally spoke, and his mouth was such a powerful word.

However, no one refuted this, and even Gen Zhisheng was silent.

That was indeed the original plan of the Eight Snake Families.

The Eight Families of the Snake Clan have always known about the existence of Takamagahara, and they also know that Takamagahara, which contains the bones of the Yaki Orochi, Amaterasu and Amaterasu, as well as the remains of the White King.

But they never mentioned anything about Kassel.

Not only the eight families of the snake, but also the Japanese branch.

The Japanese branch and the headquarters have never been of the same mind, they are in the camp of the eight families of snakes.

Whether it's the Eight Snake Families, the Japanese Branch, or the Ghost Clan, their purpose is not as simple as it seems.

Resurrection God? Kill the gods?

That's just a joke.

The two Nibelungens of Takamagahara and Night Eclipse are their targets.

This high-end alchemy technique is a legacy from the gods.

The Japanese Snake Eight will never let the European secret party and the Oriental family know about their existence.

Not to resurrect God, nor to kill God.

It's about inheriting the legacy, becoming God, and then transcending God.

This is the ultimate goal of the Japanese hybrid.

Whether it's the Eight Snake Families or the Menggui People, it's the same.

It's just that the two sides have different paths.

The Eight Families of the Snake Clan hope to obtain the inheritance of Takamagahara-hara by very gentle means by excavating the ruins; The ghosts, on the other hand, hope to forcibly awaken the holy relics, control the holy relics, and bring Takamagaharaa back to "reality".

As for the consequences of Takamagahara becoming a "reality" again?

The crazy people of the Menggui people don't think about these questions.

The abacus of the Eight Snake Families is also playing well, and they were originally going to dig slowly to avoid attracting the attention of the secret party.

But Behemoth's awakening disrupted their plans.

Takamagahara had to appear in Kassel's sight.

According to the plan, they should immediately betray the secret party, cut off contact with Kassel, and close the entire territory to prevent information from leaking.

But this plan was suppressed by Gen Zhisheng before it even started.

Because he recognized a fact - a fact brought by Gu Bei: the Eight Snake Families are not credible.

Since he couldn't fully trust the Eight Snake Family, he could only borrow some external forces to clean up the pests in the family, including Gu Bei and the action team sent to Japan by Kassel.

"Use all the power you can use...... That's what you taught me, Daddy."

Yuan Zhisheng looked at the four people on the other side with a little vigilance: "I don't deny your speculation, it's true that the Eight Snake Families do have the idea of betraying the secret party, but this betrayal has not been carried out, which is also a fact."

The other party cannot be considered a criminal just because there is a possibility that the other party will commit a crime.

In the same way, the Eight Snake Families have not yet made a betrayal move, so even if they admit that they have the idea of betrayal, at most they will make people more guarded and cannot be convicted.

It was precisely because of this that Gen Zhisheng prevented the betrayal plan of the Eight Snake Families, and instead negotiated openly and honestly with Caesar and others.

[In view of the general environment,

In the current Gen Zhisheng's opinion, there is no one around who is worthy of absolute trust except Inuyama He, and since there is no way to trust, then choose a few partners who can barely cooperate.

Gu Bei is the partner he uses to save Eriyi.

Caesar and the others in front of him are his partners in saving the Eight Snakes.

"What do you need us to do?" Chu Zihang asked.

This is undoubtedly a good sign.

Chu Zihang also has his own considerations.

The options before the Action Team at present may seem many, but in reality there are only two options.

First, now immediately, find a place to get up, don't be found by Gu Bei, and don't be found by the Eight Snake Families, just go to the academy and send someone to pick them up, and they can get out of this turmoil.

Second, take the initiative to get into the center of this maelstrom.

Be part of what is probably the biggest drama of the century and move the story forward.

How to choose?

Actually, there is no need to say more.

How many of the people present are self-contained?

Even Yuan Zhisheng, an honest man, is not a fuel-efficient lamp!

"I don't need you to do anything." Gen Zhisheng smiled, "You just need to make sure that you are in Tokyo all the time, and that's enough."

Yes, that's enough.

Gu Bei's plan, Yuan Zhisheng's plan, the plan of the Eight Snake Families, and the plan of the Menggui people...... It doesn't really matter.

The purpose of the Caesar's group is not to stand on one side of the platform, nor to be an assistant to anyone.

They exist only because they are.

As long as they're in Tokyo, they'll be able to muddy up the already unclean water.

——

"That guy isn't a good bird!"

Marthary, Fingal sat in the driver's seat, indignant.

After the conversation was over, the two groups left the shrine one after another.

Genjisheng and Eri went to the Iwa-Ryu Research Institute on a Hummer, ready to keep an eye on the progress of Tachibana Masamune's autopsy.

The members of the action team drove the Masha of the Eight Snake Families back to Takamagahara.

Caesar sat in the co-pilot, absentmindedly wiping the Tower of Burat in his hands.

Chu Zihang closed his eyes in the back row.

The only one who responded to Fingal was Natsumi: "You humans are all the same, a bunch of flowers."

"Wronged, big sister!" Fingal called Qu.

"Who's your name, big sister!?" Xia Mi was about to rush to the front row to send Fingal two dragon punches.

"Natsumi." Chu Zihang grabbed Xia Mi.

Xia Mi hummed and sat back next to Chu Zihang.

"Anyway, the result is not bad," Caesar compacted the bullet in the magazine and pushed it into the grip, "We didn't plan to go back so soon, take this opportunity to sell the emperor of the Eight Snakes, it's worth it."

"It's just to grieve the principal, the dragon bone cross can only wait a little longer," Fingal said with a smile hidden in guilt, "It's not that the student doesn't work hard, but the other party is better than me."

"Wait," Natsumi said suddenly, "Did you hear any strange sounds?"

Chu Zihang listened carefully and shook his head: "No, I only heard the sound of the engine and the sound of rain outside."

Fingal also quipped, "Sister, don't you be nervous, right? The dragon king is also nervous?"

But Natsumi didn't speak, but Caesar spoke: "Stop!"

He unleashed the sickle as Natsumi spoke, and the field spread out bringing countless sounds back to his ears...... He heard it.

An incredible sound was coming from the window and the body of the car, as if the vines were growing rapidly, and the tentacle-like branches were digging deep into the wall structure, disintegrating the car.

Something is invading!

From all sides, the top of his head was even lower, but he couldn't tell what it was.

"The car window is seeping water...... Chu Zihang also noticed something unusual.

Rainwater was seeping in through the windows and tumbling down the doors.

It's not as simple as the failure of the seal on the window, the rain that seeps in is not a trickle, but a rushing waterfall!

The water in the car kept rising, and soon it was over their feet.

It's rain!

The rain is eroding the walls, seeping in through every crevice, and the car seems to be riddled with holes!

Here's ...... There's something wrong here, stop here!"

Caesar shouted, and with a screeching sound of brakes, Martha stopped in the middle of the road.

"Let's get out!"

Chu Zihang kicked the car door first, pulled Xia Mi worm out of the car, and stood in the vast rain.

Caesar and Fingal followed.

Chu Zihang led Jun Yan, and before the rain fell on his body, it turned into white steam, and several people stood together, not daring to act rashly.

There were no cars on the road, and there were no pedestrians, because it was Chinese New Year's Eve, so all the shops on the street were closed, and the empty street was unusually cold.

But...... Wrong.

In a very metaphysical way, this place is lifeless.

It's like a piece of space taken out of reality.

Chu Zihang was too familiar with this feeling of being modified.

The space of paradox replaces the space of reality, and the person who strays is often left in the space of paradox forever, and in the eyes of others, he disappears at the end of a dead end inexplicably.

Nibelungen!

He was a man who had been to the Nibelungen before, and according to the usual parlance, he was a person with a mark on his own, and could easily cross a barrier that ordinary people could not cross to enter the Nibelungen.

Hell, it's like the first time you dislocate it, you always dislocate it, you dislocate it with a little movement, and it becomes a habit at the end......

But the problem is that he's with Natsumi now.

As the dragon lord who controls the key to the Nibelungen, there is no way she could not be aware of the Nibelungen's unfolding!

"Not the Nibelungen......" Natsumi spoke slowly, her eyes full of surprise, obviously she had noticed something.

The space was 99% similar to the Nibelungen, but when she was ready to open an exit and take a few people away

When he went out, the key to the Nibelungen had no effect.

The Key to the Nibelungen, although it is said to be the key to the Nibelungen, is actually essentially the ability to open the realm of alchemy.

The principle is roughly equivalent to opening a back door in the field of alchemy.

In other words, not only the Nibelungen, but any form of alchemy realm can be cracked through the Nibelungen Key.

At present, the only thing that can make the key to the Nibelungen hit the wall is the different space created by Gu Bei.

Something that didn't follow the principles of alchemy at all made the Nibelungen Key impossible to get hold of, so it ended up in vain.

But this time, the Nibelungen Key didn't even react at all.

This says one thing.

It's not the Nibelungen, it's not the realm of alchemy, it's not even another dimension.

"This is ...... Reality?" Natsumi said a completely impossible possibility.

But that's the only possibility.

They are trapped in a piece of "reality"!

——

Gu Bei shook the last bit of wine in the dream sparrow, and then poured it into his mouth in one gulp: "This wine is so-so."

Uesugi turned over his hand and took out a bottle of Dream Sparrow and opened it: "This bottle is also on your account."

"......" Gu Bei was a little speechless, "You are the actor of the previous generation, how can you be so slammed."

"I'm just an old man selling ramen now."

"Tsk."

Gu Bei took the new bottle of wine from Uesugi Yue and poured a glass: "I suddenly thought of a question."

"What's the problem?"

"You see, the Night Eclipse is the back of the High Heaven Plain, that is, the reality compared to the Nibelungen, but because the Shadow Emperor closed the door of the Night Eclipse, the Night Eclipse Plain cannot be fused with reality, so if the Night Eclipse and Reality merge, what is presented is the Nibelungen or reality?"

"Well...... Uesugi thought for a moment, "Let's give you an analogy."

"If the Nibelungen is a door, then reality is a wall, a door can be opened, and a wall cannot be opened."

"Can't you tear down the wall?"

"Don't interrupt." Uesugi glanced at Gu Bei, "The Night Eclipse was originally used as a door to the Nibelungen, and it also served as a wall of reality, and its door was hidden in the wall, so there is no way to leave the Night Eclipse through conventional means, unless you find the node."

"Node ......" Gu Bei looked at the deep alley outside.

"That's right, like this door I've been guarding, it's one of the nodes, as for if there are any other nodes...... No one can tell."
