Chapter Twenty-Five: Tachibana Masamune, Wang General, and Herzog

The cargo elevator slowly descends and carries two guests weighing several tons each from the "ξ" floor of Genji Heavy Industries to the thirtieth floor.

"Talking to Eri...... Isn't it too pleasant?" Yuan Zhinu asked in a low voice.

He noticed that Lu Mingfei's expression was a little abnormal, and he had been like this since he came out of Uesugi's room.

"No ......" The more Lu Mingfei thought about it, the more embarrassed he became, and he covered his face and sighed helplessly, "I can only say that what I did at the beginning caused her a bad guidance and impression. After this is done, I have to reshape her normal and correct thoughts and behaviors...... It probably won't be easy."

Yuan Zhinu nodded as if she didn't understand.

"Besides, why didn't you go in and try to talk to your sister just now? His Majesty the Emperor has said that genetic changes in our bodies do not mean that we are separated from human beings, and that the emotions we possess are important to support us as human beings."

"I...... Not ready yet. I don't know how to tell her." Yuan Zhinu whispered.

He hadn't been in contact with Eri before, but he was very disgusted with Eri; He thought that it was the person that his brother Yuan Zhisheng used to replace him, and used pampering the girl to relieve his guilt. But in the end, they are all brothers and sisters of the same origin.

Although he has now abandoned these childish thoughts after surgery and mental transformation, he still feels that he is not ready to face his sister.

"It's okay, you still have plenty of time."

"Can you answer my question, Lu-kun? Why is Eri the younger sister of a child? I'm not related to Eri by blood, she's just ......."

Yuan Zhisheng, who was standing in the corner of the elevator, finally couldn't help but speak, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Yuan Zhinu:

"Don't worry, brother, the next time is when all the answers will be revealed."

"That's true, you should be prepared to accept everything so that your emotional fluctuations don't get too strong later." Lu Mingfei said.

A strong sense of vibration hit, and the bright red numbers on the indicator board indicated that the freight elevator had reached the thirtieth floor, and the wide elevator doors opened to both sides, and Minamoto Zhisheng's assistant Yabuki Sakura had been waiting for a long time.

Before Yuan Zhisheng could react, Lu Mingfei and Yuan Zhisheng stepped out of the elevator first, and without Sakura's guidance, the two of them walked forward on their own, and Yuan Zhisheng, who didn't know why, could only follow them quickly.

The decoration of the thirtieth floor of Genji Heavy Industries is in a soft Japanese style, and the strategic department of the Snake Eight Family, Sakura quickly ran to the front and opened a sliding door for Lu Mingfei.

Behind the sliding door is a spacious room with a Japanese Shinto temple style interior, with granite walls carved with Shinto spirits, from the solemn Amaterasu and Tsukiyomi to the mighty Susanoo, as well as the malevolent demons of the shape, some with lion-like faces and fangs, some sitting cross-legged on a pile of skeletons, and the wind and clouds surrounding these gods and demons, like a hundred ghosts walking in the night.

But now, even if they were able to break out of the walls with their lives, they would not bring any fear to the outside world; Because they will only be ruthlessly crushed by the two iron giants who step into the room.

In front of the wide stone table with a circular Tai Chi pattern in black and white, the heads of the eight families of the Snake Qi who were waiting here got up and bowed to Lu Mingfei.

Previously, in the open space outside, Lu Mingfei and the metal armor he was wearing only made people feel very tall at best; Now in the room, they personally felt the strong sense of oppression brought by Lu Mingfei, and every heavy step he took was like a sledgehammer hitting the hearts of the family masters, so that they could not regenerate any thoughts except for bowing down to their subordinates.

The other, with a picturesque brow on his calm and watery face...... The heads of the family couldn't help but look at Yuan Zhisheng who had just entered the door, the appearance of these two people was too similar, but they had never heard that the head of the Yuan family had a sibling.

But...... And the three warriors who followed the high priest? They weren't on Lu Mingfei's side...... Where did they go again?

Even though the five heads of the family with lower surnames had many questions, they did not have the right to ask questions now, and no one would answer them.

Xingshen Temple, Lu Mingfei had come to this room, and at that time, the Eight Snake Qi families were not too long-sighted to buy the dragon bone of the White King from him. He saw Ange too, but sat in the corner of the room drinking tea leisurely, perhaps waiting for the end of the late-night meeting to meet with the head of the Inuyama family he knew well.

"Welcome again, Your Excellency, you are indeed the kind of person who is resolute in handling things, and with your help, this dragon crisis that appeared in Japan may be perfectly solved without bloodshed."

Tachibana Masamune, the head of the eight families of Snake Qi, said with a smile.

Although he looks like a gray-haired old man, his naturally friendly smile has a kind of confidence that he can control everything in his hands, as if he was a natural leader.

"But there is blood here today." Lu Mingfei said indifferently, his words shocked the heads of the families present, including Yuan Zhisheng.

"And you're right, I really don't like to waste my time, and I'm not going to rely on your half-truths and lies to confirm my suspicions. Childish."

"Yes, Captain." Yuan Zhinu nodded, his eyes lit up with a golden mandala-like pattern, and before the heads of the family could react, he had already chanted softly, the lost ancient language had an unusual beauty of rhythm, as if it were a hypnotic ethereal short song, and the transparent realm rapidly expanded to envelop the entire people in the Awakening Temple.

Everyone listened attentively - including Ange, who could have used "Time Zero" to get out of the realm of speech and spirit expansion in time, but because he trusted Lu Mingfei and looked forward to what was going to happen next, he chose to stay.

The howling wind echoed in their ears, and the heads of the Eight Clans of the Snake Qi clan suddenly found that they were no longer in the Awakening Temple, but in a white snowfield, and the sky-high flames from the buildings in the distance illuminated their location.

Words and spirits. The dream tapir, the spirit that belongs to the source girl, has now been developed with more functional utility, and it is no longer limited to the degree of mind control that can only pull people into a nightmare and kill;

One of the functions of the "Dream Tapir" that is now applied to Tachibana Masamune is to replay the past memories of the target by directly extracting them from their brains.

Lu Mingfei believed that this spirit was extremely valuable even in that war universe, and that it could efficiently obtain important information without lengthy interrogations—even if the object was a demon.

Because of the extremely high proportion of dragon blood in her body, the "Faith Furnace" in Yuan Zhinu's body is one size bigger than others, only below Lu Mingfei; There is enough power of faith to stabilize the body and protect the spirit, so even if the object of interrogation is a demon, the source girl will not be affected by the possible chaos pollution.

Of course...... Like the demon under the command of the Chaos Evil God Maiden Ganqi, the information in its head cannot be fully trusted.

Yuan Zhisheng did not find Tachibana Masamune among the heads of the family, and he wanted to ask Lu Mingfei and Yuan Zhinu what they did...... But he couldn't do anything himself, just like the other five family heads stood in the snow in a daze, as if they were still surrounding the black and white Tai Chi stone table in the Awakening Temple.

Lu Mingfei and Yuan Zhinu stood at the other end of the snow, their figures casting tall shadows in the snow, and the red light emitted by the helmet eyepiece was extremely eye-catching in the dim wind and snow.

"Bang!" A gunshot that even the wind could not hide woke up Yuan Zhisheng, he thought that the person who was shot would be a certain family master, and Lu Mingfei's purpose was to shuffle the eight families of Snake Qi here......

But he found that the gunfire came from the snow area they were surrounding them, and one man had attacked another man, and the cold gun from behind made him fall in the snow; It seems that the Minamoto is operating, and the scene they see is constantly fast-forwarding and jumping to see the valuable parts directly.

So Yuan Zhisheng soon saw that the man who was attacked by the cold gun in the back actually survived, even if his chest was pierced, and his skin was burned by the flames of the bomb explosion; He dug up the supplies he had prepared for his escape, healed himself with potions, exchanged a batch of platinum crucibles for money, and used forged identity documents to track down the man who attacked him all the way to Tokyo, Japan.

Then he gave his burned face a facelift in Japan...... The chill was flickering

Rushing straight to his heart, Yuan Zhisheng shuddered.

He saw the face that was much younger but still familiar after the plastic surgery...... Tachibana Masamune, the gentle face of a loving father in front of him.

In Tachibana Masamune's conjectures, plans, and notes, Gen Zhisheng gets more information; The man who sank the nuclear-powered icebreaker into the Sea of Japan was the man named Bondarev who attacked Tachibana Masamune, who guessed his location and found him in the area where the Lenin sank, and beat him into a hornet's nest with a submachine gun and the cabin of the boat.

It's a daddy. Gen thought to himself, Tachibana Masamune still occupies a very important part of his heart, and this may just be Tachibana Masamune's hidden past about himself - everyone has their own unknown past.

But soon, this thought disappeared from his heart without a trace.

Tachibana Masamune finds a black-skinned notebook from the boat, and identifies the dead man on the boat through its contents;

Gen Zhisheng couldn't read what was written in the notebook, and the speed at which Tachibana Masamune flipped through the notebook was deliberately sped up, almost two or three pages a second, but it was confirmed that Bondarev wanted to infiltrate the Japanese Snake Qi Hachi's house to obtain the secret about the White King.

And then...... Tachibana Masamune inherited everything from Bondarev.

He found Bondarev's base in Tokyo, an old-fashioned apartment that stored precious and deadly ancient dragon fetal blood, as well as the first product of the evolution drug that catalyzed the half-blood bloodline, and he danced ecstatically on the floor of the room.

The picture changed, and Gen Zhisheng's pupils shrank, and he saw that there was also a vessel in the room that kept the human embryo, with the note symbol "ξ". He instantly thought of Eri, and he used to wonder why the floor where Eri was located was this special symbol, and what special meaning it had......

I didn't expect it to be like this...... Simple and straightforward. The code name of a product.

Gen Zhisheng also saw the refrigerated utensils codenamed "π" and "", but the inside was empty...... But the scene fast-forwards to the ten years of Tachibana Masamune's development in the Snake Eight family, and quickly jumps to the day when he finally finds the "π" and "" that Bondarev hid.

"No......" Genji's mind went blank as he saw Tachibana Masamune step into the familiar mountain town and find his thirteen-year-old self...... and the source of the childish girl who depends on herself.

The two of them are "π" and "".

Bondarev's plan was to use the two of them to step into the highest echelons of the Snake Eight Family, because the Eight Snake Eight Family would elevate them to high positions because of their bloodline, and thus get close to the deepest secrets.

But Tachibana Masamune, no, it's time to call him Herzog.

Herzog perfected Bondarev's plan, and he brought Gen Zhisheng into the Eight Snake Clans, and then brought Gen Zhinu into the Fierce Ghosts. The two forces that had obtained the bloodline emperor were overjoyed by this, believing that this was a sign of the revival of the family, and that was when the war between the Eight Clans and the Fierce Oni began.

Yuan Zhisheng's heart sank to the bottom inch by inch, as if he was in an ice cave, and the blood in his body became cold.

He watched Herzog rise to prominence as the mentor of the two of them in the Eight Families of Snakes and the Fierce Ghosts, and when he put on his mask, he was the white-faced evil ghost and the terrifying leader of the Fierce Ghosts. When he took off his mask, he was a powerful old man, the patriarch of the Eight Snake Families, the biological father of Eri Yi, and the adoptive father he admired......

There were smiles on the two very different faces, the minister on the mask smiled subtly and subtly, and the Tachibana Masamune under the mask smiled smugly.

He doesn't need to do anything, he just needs to push behind the scenes, and he can drive the snake Qi Eight Family and the fierce ghosts to live and die while desperately trying to find the location of the White King for him.

What made Yuan Zhisheng feel the most angry and distressed was the childish girl, and the so-called "extremely evil ghost" was simply a lie made up by Herzog.

His own brother's bloodline was as stable as his own, but because of some kind of surgery, Herzog was introduced into another violent and cruel personality, so in the eyes of Gen Zhisheng, the immature girl became a depraved evil ghost and a madman, and had to endure grief and kill him.

This nightmarish experience has been haunting him, seemingly

He will never be able to get out of it - but in fact, this is also a scene arranged by Herzog, in order to make the two brothers who love each other completely break up and go to opposite each other.

The aftermath ...... Yuan Zhisheng no longer had the spirit to watch, and the ugly and dark truth hidden behind that gentle and kind face was like a hammer bombardment, causing his spirit and consciousness to be shattered and collapsed.

He is no different from his younger brother, they are both Herzog's pawns and tools, as long as Herzog replaces the two of them at the beginning, his brother, who claims to be a "righteous partner", can also become a "very evil ghost", and then die under his brother's knife in a clear and logical way.

"Sure enough, it's you."

Lu Mingfei said indifferently, staring at Herzog as if he had just woken up from a dream, with undisguised anger and disgust in his eyes.

The golden mangs in the eyes of the Yuan Zhinu were almost turned into substantial flames erupting, and his face twitched with anger, but the modified body genes and the instinct to obey Lu Mingfei after joining the legion made him not immediately rush forward to kill this man who should have been broken into pieces.

Tachibana Masamune woke up from the hypnotic state of the "Dream Tapir" and frowned when he saw the five heads of the family with the lower surname glaring at him, and when he saw Lu Mingfei and Gen Zhinu, he realized what was going on, his eyes immediately lit up with a striking golden and turned a terrifying red, and his palm took out a pair of black wooden bons from the wide sleeves of his kimono......

"Kill him." Lu Mingfei said.

Without giving Tachibana Masamune a chance to rub and knock on the wooden bang, at the moment when the word "kill" was just spoken, Gen Zhinu had already appeared in front of Tachibana Masamune, her huge palm grabbed his head like a hoop claw, and the other armored hand clenched into a fist as if it was about to pour all the anger and humiliation into it, and the crisp bone cracks and the dull sound of flesh and blood explosions combined to make a muffled "bang".

Tachibana Masamune was killed on the spot, but that wasn't enough to counteract Gen's anger, and he silently slammed his fist at the twisted head until it turned into an ugly puddle of flesh.

Lu Mingfei did not stop the child's anger, because this heretic really deserves to die. He turned on the Warframe's communication system and contacted the Caesar brothers:

"How's it going underground?"

"Just in time, we just happened to bump into the 'Devil Out'...... Oh! Also, our Fingal brothers are already 'out of the basket' with your saber and even more 'out of the basket' than the Chu Champion brothers."

Genji Heavy Construction Site Deadpool Farm, Caesar looked at Fingal, who was waving two great swords burning with golden flames and screaming and rushing out, and reported the current situation to Lu Mingfei with a look of amazement.
