391. Afterwards
January 10, 2009, weather, light rain.
It's been a week since the White King woke up.
The floodwaters, which have submerged two-thirds of the land in mainland Japan, are gradually receding.
However, the tsunami appears to have penetrated Japan's continental shelf, and experts predict that Japan will lose nearly half of its land area after the floodwaters reced.
And the remaining half will not last for fifty years.
The whole world is now talking about aiding Japan - of course, everyone knows whether it is real aid or whether it wants to take advantage of the fire.
But all of the above is just the official statement.
The real truth is that the simultaneous collapse of the Night Eclipse and Takamagaha left a vacant area in the depths of the trench that supported the Japanese mainland, which led to the sinking of Japan.
Discussions among the countries also included a plan for dealing with the "dragon disaster".
This torrential rain and tsunami is probably the largest disaster that mankind has ever experienced, I don't know if it is a coincidence or some special meaning, this disaster was officially named "Heras Tsunami" by Japan.
Maybe it's because there are half-breeds in the naming group.
Although Japan has lost a significant part of its territory, a sovereign country does not delist it because of the lack of land area.
Therefore, the people of Japan are actively rebuilding their homes after the disaster...... It's weird.
As a result of the disaster, more than 30 percent of Japanese residents chose to emigrate, and more than half of the remaining 70 percent expressed their intention to emigrate, especially in the Kanto region, which was the most severely affected.
It is expected that during this time, countries around the world will usher in a huge wave of immigration.
The lack of land and the loss of population have made Japan a country that exists in name only – if it weren't for the fact that it is surrounded by a beautiful country, it would probably not even have a name.
The hardest hit area is Tokyo.
With the exception of some high-rise buildings, almost all of them have been submerged, and the Tokyo Sky Tree, which has not yet been completely completed, stands alone in the water, and there is no longer the feeling of seeing the mountains in the past.
But Tokyo is also lucky.
The continental shelf here is exceptionally strong, not washed away by the tsunami, and belongs to the area where it can still be found.
However, this kind of place is probably not suitable for living people.
The authorities studied it and prepared to build a bridge in the middle of the high-rise buildings that would outcrop the water and make it a tourist attraction – similar to the feeling of Venice, a water city.
In fact, this proposal is not an official idea, but a disagreement.
The damage to the Eight Snakes was not serious, and most of their people were killed in the battle with the fierce ghosts and hunters.
As for wealth, the Eight Snakes have not lost anything at all.
So after the incident, they bought the abandoned old town of Tokyo and proposed a plan for the revival of the city.
Gu Bei felt that there was a big deal in this matter, and said that after the completion of the project, he would definitely take Eri Yi back to his hometown to visit - the underwater ones would not be visited.
However, although in other aspects, the loss of the Eight Families of Snake Confusion is not serious, but in the area of personnel, the loss of the Eight Families of Snake Difference is very serious.
A large number of low-level members were killed, and the middle-level also suffered heavy losses in the firefight with the fierce ghosts, and the original five family heads were left, only the Inuyama family master and the wind demon family master were not particularly seriously injured, and they only returned to their posts after resting for two days, and the other Miyamoto family heads, Sakurai family heads and Ryoma family heads were all seriously injured.
Among them, the head of the Sakurai family, Sakurai Nanami, was seriously injured and dying, and was taken over by Sakurai Kotsun, a defector member of the Sakurai family, and the current fierce ghost dragon horse.
The duties of the Miyamoto family and the Ryoma family were temporarily represented by Genji's retainers, Raven and Yasha.
The reason why the Eight Snake Families were able to accept Sakurai Kotwi as the temporary head of the Sakurai family was mainly because of the return of the source child.
The whereabouts of Gen Zhisheng, the current actor who is also the head of the family, is unknown, and the previous actor Uesugi Yue and the second son of the Gen family, who also has imperial blood, temporarily act as the shadow emperor, and the head of the Wind Demon family and the head of the Inuyama family jointly take over the position of the head of the family.
Even Gen Zhinu, the dragon king of the fierce ghosts, has returned, so naturally no one will talk about the existence of Sakurai Kotso.
Besides, the current snake eight families are short of manpower.
In this way, the Eight Snake Clans, which were supposed to be paralyzed by the departure of Gen Zhisheng, actually started working again, and with Gen Zhinu, the former dragon king of the fierce ghosts, the cleanup of the fierce ghosts is also progressing rapidly.
For the Japanese half-breeds, this is a catastrophe.
But it's also a new life.
In the past, Japanese half-breeds, whether it was the Eight Clans of Snakes or the Fierce Ghosts, all lived in the shadow of the White King.
Now that the White King has been removed, this is a great thing for the entire Japanese half-breed.
It's just that this price is too heavy.
Moreover, the head of the Japanese half-breed is not only the mountain of the White King, but also the control of the secret party.
Of course, now the secret party doesn't have time to care about them.
"So, there are traitors within the secret party?"
Lying on the hospital bed, Caesar was covered in bandages, like a mummy.
They are now in a private hospital sponsored by the Gattuso family.
It is said to be a hospital, in fact, it is closer to a courtyard, the building is a modern style, the geometric façade, the garden is a classical European feeling, the lawn is trimmed lushly, I don't know what flowers are in bloom, and the rain is filled with a cold fragrance.
Hanging at the door was a nameplate written in Japanese, Gu Bei had forgotten what was written on the nameplate, and only remembered that the name of the hospital was particularly awkward.
To be honest, if it weren't for the nameplate, probably no one would have believed that this was a hospital, there was not even a red cross hanging here, it was more like a high-end resort hotel or some super local tycoon's country house.
At least in the cognition of people like Lu Mingfei, the inpatient department is always a large room of six to eight people, patients shouting for cigarettes, nurses shouting to smoke and get out, eyes are full of hanging water bottles, and there are fruits and flower baskets on the bedside table.
And Gu Bei is better than him.
Gu Bei, who used to work in Lu's private hospital, had seen two-person rooms and deluxe single rooms, but it was the first time he had seen one with its own courtyard.
The décor in the ward is similar to that of a hotel suite, with a desk, bedside table and a comfortable double bed, as well as landscape paintings on the walls, and the reassuring smell of lavender fills the room.
Caesar was lying on the hospital bed, with one foot hanging up, and with that mummified dress, it looked a little funny.
In the room, there were not only Caesar himself, but also Chu Zihang and Fingal, who were dressed the same as him, as well as Gu Beilu, Mingfei and Xia Mi, who were intact.
It's not quite right to say it's intact.
Gu Bei's eyes were already covered with thick black gauze, and he looked like a blind man.
"By the way, can you really see that?" Fingal was a little curious, "I don't need a cane for you?" ”
"If you want me to twist your leg off and use it as a crutch, just say it, I don't mind being a little violent." Gu Bei smiled a little madly.
"That's it." Fingal instantly withdrew his big teeth.
Only then did Gu Bei begin to answer Caesar's question: "That's right, and what you said is not accurate, it's not that there are internal ghosts within the secret party." ”
Speaking of which, he paused and pondered for a moment before continuing, "The inner ghost is in the board. ”
As soon as the words were spoken, the audience was silent.
Caesar and Fingal were silent because they were completely unable to believe and accept this fact.
The so-called Kassel Board of Directors is actually the top of the secret party.
The secret party, the dragon slaying organization that has lasted for thousands of years - this is actually an exaggeration, after all, the history of European hybrids is not thousands of years, but this does not prevent people from bragging.
In the most stringent dragon slaying organization for thousands of years, an inner ghost has been mixed in, which is as unbelievable as the FBI in the Celestial Dragon Group.
It's hard to imagine what that means, and if anything, it's probably a catastrophe of destruction.
This means that the secret party is not credible, and the untrustworthiness of the secret party brings about the collapse of the entire dragon slaying business.
The collapse of the dragon slaying business means that humanity loses its future.
This is simply a devastating event.
Of course, Caesar and Fingal were the only ones who thought so, and the silence of the other people in the room had their own reasons.
Xia Mi didn't care about these things, he was now sitting on the stool next to Chu Zihang's bed, peeling an apple.
It's better that the world is destroyed, or that dragons rule the world is a good thing for her—after all, she's the dragon king herself.
Lu Mingfei actually didn't care too much.
He is no longer the uninformed decrepit boy, and after some things, he can probably guess what he is, the only thing he can't figure out is why it must be himself.
What is the reason why Lu Mingze chose himself?
And Chu Zihang's silence is simply because he has just lost and regained, and now he has lost his father.
The wind and rain outside did not stop, and the wind whistled sharply when it swept through the small building, and the rain splashed down on the windows, and the atmosphere in the ward was dull, as if some meeting was deciding the fate of mankind.
Actually, it seems to be pretty much the same.
"Does anyone else know about this?" Caesar asked.
Gu Bei shook his head: "Except for a few of us, probably only the inner ghost himself knows." ”
Gu Bei's meaning is very clear, he trusts everyone here, so he will tell this matter instead of investigating it himself.
"I'll take care of that." Caesar said.
If there is anyone here who can really meddle in the affairs of the school board, there is no one else but him.
It's just that it's a very dangerous task, and if you're not careful, you're doomed – everyone knows it, but everyone just knows it and doesn't say it.
Caesar's choice to take it upon himself does not mean that others can completely ignore this matter, and everyone has to put in their own efforts in the matter of finding the inner ghost.
Fingal smiled and took the topic away: "Anyway, Boss Gu, can you touch me with that magical little hand again, I don't want to lie here until school starts." ”
Gu Bei shook his head: "The function of the double hand is very powerful, and it can modify the body and soul without limit, but this does not mean that it has no side effects. ”
It is normal for a person's body to initiate a recovery mechanism in case of injury and then slowly heal.
However, if you use both hands many times in a short period of time, or if you use both hands to repair after each injury, you will weaken the extreme of your body.
In this way, the next time you are injured, the body's recovery function will become "inert" and refuse to recover.
That's why Gu Beicai didn't treat them with both hands.
It's also for their good.
"Chopper......" Caesar said suddenly, "I mean Genzhisheng, is he dead?" ”
Gu Bei glanced at him and shook his head: "No, but it's almost like dead." ”
——
Tokyo, Shinjuku, Genji Heavy Industries.
The blessing of the Eight Families of Drag, Genji Heavy Industries' level is very high, which also keeps it from being flooded.
The black yacht stopped in front of the titanium black building, and a man in a black suit jumped from the yacht into the window of the building, where a young woman in a kimono waited.
The facilities of Genji Heavy Industries are very good. Even if it is soaked in water, it will not hinder the operation of the electricity inside.
A VIP elevator takes them up to the 63rd floor, through a long walkway, and stops in front of a steel automatic door.
After the woman verified the iris, the steel gate slowly moved along the slide.
Behind the door is an authentic Japanese-style tea room, such a modern building, but there is such a tea room hidden inside, as if you have stepped into it and spanned a hundred years.
The tatami floor, the wooden screen with a fine lattice, the flower arrangement of Kohara-ryu on the small table, the prints of Hishikawa Shinobu hanging on the wall, and the hand-made iron kettle of Kamedo, the water is boiling slightly.
At the center of the tearoom sits a young man in a navy blue kimono, holding a cup of tea in his hand, looking out through the floor-to-ceiling window, a privileged location with a panoramic view of most of Tokyo.
Actually, there is nothing special about this view, there is water everywhere.
"Young master."
The man sat down behind the man in the kimono: "The young lord's retainer Ryuji Saeki has seen the young master. ”
"It doesn't have to be like this," said the young woman, "you are my brother's retainer, not mine, so you don't have to bow to me." ”
"You're the current actor, and that's what I'm supposed to do."
"Mr. Saeki......"
"Just call me a raven."
Ryuji Saeki, nicknamed "The Crow", is a retainer of Gen Zhisheng at best, but in fact he is a thug under Gen Zhisheng.
Now that the Snake family is withering, the crow from the street has taken the position of the head of the Miyamoto family - although he is an agent, he can no longer use the name of the crow.
Ryuji Saeki is a well-known name.
It's just that in front of the source child, he still calls himself a crow.
Yuan Zhinu didn't say anything, but poured him a cup of tea.
The crow hurriedly thanked him.
"Actually, I wasn't the one who called you this time." Gen Zhinu smiled.
"Not you?" The crow was confused for a moment, "That's ......"
"It's my brother."
With a "dang bang", the teacup in the crow's hand fell to the ground.
Some people died, but not completely......
