Chapter Seventy-Four: Samurai and Ninja
There was also an empty seat at the octagonal council table.
Raven glanced sideways at Alex, who was in the back row, thinking he would be sitting up.
"There's one more, wait a minute."
The "White Queen", dressed in a pure white off-the-shoulder combat uniform, whispered, and it didn't take long for a spark portal to spin open.
Mark, the resident mage of the Holy of Holies in New York, walked in with the old and strong Venerable Wang, and he sat behind him, and the two of them greeted everyone present.
The light in the entire conference room suddenly dimmed, and a wall of light lit up in the center of the table, on which were listed the information and patterns of various extraordinary organizations and groups.
This kind of projection technology has not yet been popularized in the outside world, and the two mages are extremely surprised to see it, and even think that this is also some kind of spell.
"Ahem, the intelligence introduction of the meeting is in charge of me and Professor Charles, according to the last instructions left by the gentleman, the territory of Huaxia is not within the scope of this plan, the following is the place where we need to go by ourselves after intelligence screening and the professor's brain wave scan."
「…… Good guys, there are so many! 「
Listening to Peggy Rogers' intelligence presentation, Asazzo looked at the flashing points of light on the map, not only in the United States, Europe, Africa, the Himalayas... There was even a general circle of glittering in the Atlantic Ocean.
"Kunlun and Tarot Village, Kama Taj will be responsible for sending someone to inform them that they have been even more secretive than us arcane mages for thousands of years, and they don't care about the affairs of the outside world at all, especially in Tarot Village, almost no one has ever appeared in the outside world, according to Mr. Howlett's instructions, these two parties can not pay much attention, but..."
Master Wang's English is really much better than at the beginning, at least anyone who sits there can understand it, he casually used the secret technique to condense into a long stick, pointed to the point of light in Hong Kong and the Marseille states of the United States, and said in a voice that was old but full of energy
"...... the 'Ten Rings' and the 'Witches' group, although Kama Taj has always recorded about these two secret organizations, but has never found their whereabouts, although the former has left traces several times over the millennium and does not belong to the realm of the arcane mage, but the latter..."
Master Wang nodded to Charles and continued with emotion
"If it weren't for Mr. Professor's help, we would have been very difficult to find their traces, these witches... Very dangerous. 「
Professor Charles modestly waved his hand at Master Chongwang, they were also familiar with each other in the battle to hunt Mephisto, and turned his mind back and said with some solemnity
"Without the action proposed by Mr., I would not have thought that there was such an intelligent life in the Atlantic, which was most likely related to the legendary lost Atlantean Empire."
"In addition, according to the ancient records of the mages, although I found abnormal psychic power fluctuations near Denver, I am not sure that it is the so-called 'witch group', and the strangest thing is that there is a spiritual 'vacuum' in the Amazon jungle, and the power of the brainwave instrument cannot detect it at all..."
As Steve Rogers completes his tasks one by one, a number of spatial portals opened by the Mystic Mage and the Red Devil emerge in the Battle Conference Hall.
The Whip of Order and the core members of the Howlett family, as well as many members of the Executive Officers, have crossed the Light Gate and appeared all over the world.
………………
Quack... Quack Knock ......
Under the yew, the bamboo tube full of running water overturned and knocked on the bluestone, playing a dry beat, and the quiet courtyard was paved with well-proportioned white gravel.
On the side of the simple and simple courtyard is a towering pavilion with white walls and green tiles and bronze pillars, reminiscent of the Daimyo Mansion of the Edo Castle period.
It is almost a replica of the ruins of Edo Castle in Chiyoda Ward, which was once located in the center of Tokyo, the neon capital.
If it weren't for the fact that the entire central area of Tokyo was razed to the ground by atomic bombs, and the traditional royal family and aristocracy were almost cut off, even the Yashida family, the most powerful chaebol in the Neon Country, would not have dared to build a building of this scale in the ancestral land of Kyoto.
A pair of swift steps stepped on clogs into the courtyard, walking on the laid stone slabs without much sound, young
The face was plain, the hair was a little long, but it was well tied at the back, and a samurai braid was tied on the top of the head.
Holding a black envelope in both hands, he dropped his clogs and knelt on a bamboo mat, holding it high above his head.
"Father, we also received..." The child thought that no one would be willing to respond to this so-called supernatural power world conference, this world is so big, even if it is a family... It's impossible to cover the sky with one hand."
A withered hand hung from the giant black iron metal chaise longue, and the loose back of the hand was densely covered with yellow-brown scars and sarcomas along the forearm,
Shishida slowly crossed the envelope, looked at the H-shaped emblem composed of sharp teeth and knife marks, and was silent for a long time.
Finally, he raised his hand and waved at the two doctors behind him, leaving the courtyard to their father and son.
"Shingen, what kind of person is your father in your eyes?"
Shida Shingen raised his head, watched with burning eyes as the tumor on his father's face fell off little by little, leaving a new red skin, pulled out the medicine on his neck, and finally stood up.
My father was a hero after the Great War, the founder of the Determined Tian family, and one of the most powerful companies in Neon today
"Yaga! Don't be so hypocritical in front of your father! Remember, I'm a deserter."
Shishida Lang suddenly interrupted his son's words with angry shouts, and his complexion was much better after losing the tumor scars on his body, and he looked more like an ordinary middle-aged man than a dying look of a dead wood.
「… In Hiroshima, I didn't have the courage to seppuku with Sagi-kun and Fujita-kun ... Escaped alone into a dry well, like a rat in the gutter holding his head, crying and dying, no one lives to this day!"
While stroking the medical cabin on which he depended, the delicate and fine metal armor formed an extremely comfortable arc when lying on his back, but no one in this world wanted to lie on it for the rest of his life, no matter how comfortable the bed was.
Shin Xuan, who looked to be no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, folded his hands in front of him, his forehead rested on it, and knelt down to listen to his father continue
"For I know that I shall live... As long as you live, everything will still have a chance! The Yamato nation is the most tolerant nation in the world, we are willing to grovel, willing to kowtow to be dogs, as long as we can live... Hopefully, when the giants let up, they will pounce on them and bite their throats! 「
The courtyard suddenly became quiet again, and after a while, Shida Shilang raised his hand and pointed to the flowing water bamboo raft in the courtyard and asked softly
「… Shingen, what is that? 「
Son Xinxuan glanced back and replied respectfully
"It's 'Surprise, Father.'"
Yes, the deer is called the deer, since ancient times, the neon people or farmers will put a bamboo row like this, its crunch sound can scare away the birds and animals that peck at the yard to dry the grain, hehe, even ordinary people know to sweep their yards, not to mention ......."
"Go and send a message to the American embassy in Neon and the branch of the Howlett Group, and say that the Tian family will arrive in Cairo on time in ten days to participate in the transcendent convention, not only you, but also the father will go in person, and bring our utmost sincerity to show our obedience to that gentleman!"
Shida Shinxuan couldn't bear to look at his father just getting up and pacing for a moment, and a little dark spot appeared on his face and arms.
Although the head of the family, Hiroshi Ichichi, had escaped the blast wave of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, the radiation sickness contracted by him has become more and more serious in recent years.
If it weren't for the medicine and gene therapy of the Shishida family, Shishida Lang would not have lived today.
He felt the tingling itch on his arm again, subconsciously glanced at it, ignored it expressionlessly, and looked at a set of silver-white samurai armor models standing in the deepest part of the room, and suddenly sneered
"Hmph... The ninja assassins of the Hand who live in the shadows can't accept being exposed to the world like this, and soon, we'll hear the news..."
………
Poof, poof...
From time to time, black and red smoke and dust flickered between the roof tiles and courtyards of the pavilions, and in the hidden mountains and forests on the outskirts of Tokyo
The warrior of the House of Howlett was dragging an old ninja with a knife hilt in his abdomen and throwing it among the dozens of black-clad masked corpses scattered among them.
The old ninja lay on the corpses of his apprentices and men, vomiting blood in his mouth, cursing neon words indiscriminately.
"Murakami? Not... Let me see, you "Hand Meeting, it is said that there are five, fingers,? You are one of them, and you will have a message to the others, and in ten days you will see you all in Cairo."
Asazo took the black invitation from the wolf pack warrior and the information about the hidden ninja killer organization "Hand Clan", glanced at the face of the ninja master Murakami casually, and continued with a long red tail
"It's okay if you don't come, anyway, no matter which corner you hide in, it's the same thing for me..."
The warrior beside him leaned into the red devil's ear and whispered something, and he turned his head to break open a spatial portal that flashed with a black and red light curtain, and said casually and rather boringly
「… I thought I could go to Kyoto again, what is the origin of this Shida family? 「
"One of the largest chaebols in the Neon Country, taking advantage of the large number of radiation mutants caused by the three atomic bombs dropped during World War II, as well as the evolution of mutants, has been conducting genetic and biochemical research on a large scale, and it is suspected that there are many powerful genetic modification technologies."
Asazzo sneered and led his family's warriors through the portal into the dense Amazon rainforest, where he looked around and muttered to himself.
"Since you're so knowledgeable, I won't make a special trip... That's not right... Here..."
He looked at the traces of stakes and campfires on the ground, but it was as if they had been emptied along with the entire village's buildings, and a huge flat land had been strangely vacated under the cover of the dense forest.
"This is the vacuum of spiritual search that Charles spoke of? It's so fast..."
