CHAPTER XIII

Half a day later, in a nondescript cottage in a certain street town in Tokyo.

After a rapid tapping sound, the person sitting in front of the computer turned around: "Found it." ”

It was a dark, small room, with no light, doors and windows closed, and even the cracks were covered by a thick flannel. Through the faint light of the computer screen in the corner of the room, you can see that the whole room is like a chaotic warehouse, with wooden boxes and shelves stacked everywhere, and on them are filled with porcelain, bronze, dusty calligraphy and paintings.

In the corner of the room, there are several sets of huge computer servers, chassis, recording equipment and other things densely stacked, and all kinds of wires on the ground stretch like cobwebs. Six computer screens form a semicircle, and a skinny figure is curled up in a wheelchair facing the screen.

Zhang Lie squatted in front of several huge wooden boxes, and groped and picked them up with interest. Anne leaned against a shelf by the door, her burning eyes staring at the back of the man in front of the computer.

"Oh, where?" Zhang Lie, who was casually playing with a half-cut katana, turned around.

"The plane, which belongs to Morimoto Transport, will land at a private airport on the outskirts of Tokyo at 11 p.m. today. Also, I think you will be interested to know who the owner of this company is. ”

The speaker's whole body was shrunk in the shadows of the corner of the dark room, and he could only be seen from the faint light of the computer screen as a man in a wheelchair, his eyes glowing faintly in the darkness.

"Who is it?" Zhang Lie couldn't help but lean over curiously.

"Yoshiyoshi Morimoto." The other person gave a short name.

"Who is that?" Anne thought for a moment and couldn't help frowning.

Zhang Lie also showed the same puzzled look, a name he had never heard of. Just as he was about to ask again, the man had already explained: "Kankuro, what about this name?" ”

"Is that him?" Zhang Lie and Anne immediately looked at each other.

The name Kankuro is by no means unfamiliar within the Inhuman Alliance, and the toad spirit Kankuro is a well-known youkai in Japan, and in a sense, he can be said to be the leader of the youkai in the whole of Tokyo.

The social structure of yokai in Japan is roughly the same as in China, except for the Snow Maiden, Crow Tengu, Kamatoa, Kappa and other large clans, the rest are wild demons that have been cultivated naturally. And they are divided into many forces according to geography. Among them, Kankuro is the leader of the youkai in the entire Tokyo area.

The Snow Maiden, who has always had ambitions to unify the entire Japanese yokai, has also coveted Tokyo for a long time, so it has always been in conflict with Kankuro, and the two sides have been fighting in secret intermittently for more than a hundred years. Once upon a time, the Snow Maidens tried to instigate the alliance to help eradicate Kankuro's forces, but the shrewd elders refused.

This situation lasted until after the battle of the Vatican, when the non-human race was completely suppressed by humans, and the two sides with heavy losses had no choice but to stop. Now that he suddenly heard that Kan Jiulang was actually colluding with the Demon Banquet, he couldn't help but surprise Zhang Lie and Annie very much. Unexpectedly, the tentacles of the Demon Banquet stretched so long, not only wanting to collude with the Chinese fox demon clan, but also getting on the line with the Japanese monsters.

"If it's him, it's fun. The toad was notoriously cautious, and when the Elders tried to mediate between him and the Snow Maiden, he refused to travel to Switzerland for fear of being plotted. Now that the wind is so tight, he actually dares to get involved in the matter of the Demon Banquet, it seems that he wants to find a backer and swallow the Snow Girl Clan in turn. Zhang Lie touched his chin and said with a smile.

Glancing at him, Anne said indifferently: "You have time to worry about others, you might as well think about how to deal with this unexpected trouble." ”

Haha smiled, Zhang Lie waved his hand: "Okay, okay, I have my own way." ”

As he spoke, he said to the man, "Is there a way to hack into the network of the Japanese exorcist Tekko?" ”

"Don't be kidding, the 'withered monks' of Satokono are not joking, they use the 'biological firewall' formed by combining the spirit and the electronic world, and whoever suffers will die. I don't know how many machine spirits who don't know whether they are alive or dead want to invade that network, but they are destroyed. As he spoke, the man turned his wheelchair and slowly slid out.

When his figure was completely out of the darkness, he was shocked to see that it was actually a paralyzed monster. His pale skin was the color of rotting flesh, his emaciated body was paralyzed in a wheelchair, his limbs were stiff, and his head was tilted to the side to look at Zhang Lie and Anne with a strange indifferent gaze.

From the monster's toothless mouth, which was cracked to the root of the ear, more than a dozen earthworm-like tentacles flexibly extended to control the direction of the wheelchair, and it seemed that he also used these tentacles to operate the computer.

'Demon Hacker' Feiqi is a naturally deformed monster. At birth, he was far from his own body, and was once abandoned in the garbage as the most useless waste, until he came into contact with the computer by chance, and his abnormally developed brain was put to use, thus becoming the top demon hacker.

More than ten years ago, because of a business, Feige annoyed a group of Gangkui monsters and was almost killed. As a result, Pared ordered his men to kiss him, save his life, and destroy the little group of Gangkui demons. So Feige became Camarilla's downline demon, doing things for the Bloods that they couldn't fake to the hackers among the slaves, and he would also serve the non-humans who had access to them.

"You're the famous Feige, try it, we were introduced by Parid." Seeing that he refused, Zhang Lie persuaded with a hippie smile.

Glancing at Zhang Lie with dead fish-like eyes, Fei Qijing slid past him: "Pared can't come in person, I haven't lived enough." Do you have something to look for those guys? It's good to use this directly. ”

As he spoke, his tentacles rolled up on the table full of miscellaneous items on the side, and handed it to Zhang Lie with a piece of paper. After taking a look, Zhang Lie couldn't help but smile bitterly, it turned out that this was actually the special phone of the exorcist special department.

"If I can use this thing, what else can I do with you?" Zhang Lie said this, but still put the piece of paper in his arms.

Seeing that he was still holding the katana in his hand, Fei Qi said indifferently, "Do you like it?" It was the saber of Kimura Shigetari during the Battle of Sekigahara, and it gathered a large number of unjust spirits, making it the most ideal medium for attracting souls. The last time a crow tengu came to me on an errand, he had no money and bet on me, saying that he would come to collect it three months later, but now it seems that he has died at the hands of a human. If you want, take the $5 million. ”

Zhang Lie thought about it for a while, turned to Anne and said, "Hey, Anne, how much money do you have?" ”

Without saying a word, Anne took out a pale gold bank card from her arms and handed it to Zhang Lie.

After taking a look, Zhang Lie couldn't help but be stunned: "Swiss Bank Unlimited Overdraft Gold Card, you are really rich..."

Today, there are many non-humans who are crazy about money, and Kalucci is the best example. As the heir to the next patriarch of the Harpy Banshee Clan, Anne doesn't need to worry about Brother Kong Fang at all.

Although the Harpy Clan has been nearly wiped out, the wealth they have accumulated for thousands of years is still inexhaustible. Therefore, for Anne, money is probably just a bunch of numbers that are withdrawn casually from childhood to adulthood.

"Do you want it? I'll give it to you. Anne said indifferently.

She didn't know that she had stuffed at least hundreds of millions of dollars to Zhang Lie with a casual remark, but even if she knew Annie, she wouldn't care. Zhang Lieha's smile was honestly and unceremoniously in his arms.

Just kidding, Lao Tzu wants to do great things, and there will be more places to use money in the future, don't be in vain.

Handing the gold card to Fei Qi, Zhang Lie said casually: "This room full of things, won't all of them be what you plan to sell..."

Skillfully rolling up the gold card with a tentacle, Feige pulled it into an ATM machine in the corner of the table, and said at the same time: "Everything here has a lot of origins, all of them are mortgaged here by those monsters who begged me to do things, and I don't bother to sort it out." Although it is not as good as Kalucci, many things are priceless treasures in the black market. ”

Speaking of this, a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes: "It's a pity that their owners will never be able to redeem them again." Even you are the first youkai to come to the door this month. ”

Although the tone did not change in the slightest, a trace of emotion and silence could be clearly heard in Feiqi's words.

For the first time, Anne, who had been looking at him with disdain, was moved, and Zhang Lie was silent.

Handing the gold card back to Zhang Lie, Feiqi rolled his eyes: "The knife is yours." Take whatever you want, the days are precarious, and one day these things may become the spoils of some monster hunter. ”

Shaking his head, Zhang Lie smiled and said, "Thank you, we still have something to do, so let's leave first." ”

"Wait." Fei Qi suddenly stopped him: "If I'm not mistaken, you're a Chinese monster." ”

β€œοΌŸβ€ Not understanding what he meant, Zhang Lie couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Did you hear that? Recently, two very powerful monsters have appeared in China, and they have subdued many of their subordinates, and they are fighting against humans in a big way. Many youkai were encouraged to see it as a harbinger of our non-human counterattack. Feige said, with a hint of excitement in his indifferent tone.

"Oh? What are you talking about..."Zhang Lie's heart moved, and he vaguely knew who he was referring to.

"I only heard about it on the network within the yokai, and now the news is widely spread among the yokai in China. It is said that the origin of these two monsters is very mysterious, and they suddenly appeared in the front round, one is called Annihilation, and the other is called Ba... What the hellβ€”" Feiqi's godless eyes showed a thoughtful expression.

"Ba Snake." Zhang Lie indifferently took over the conversation for him.

"Yes, it's the snake, you know?" There's something strange about Feige.

"Well, I've heard of it." Zhang Lie had an incomprehensible smile on his face.

Annihilation, annihilation, you really didn't disappoint me.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lietu was in good spirits, and said goodbye to Feige, and he and Anne opened the door wrapped in heavy flannel, walked through the antique shop in the front hall, and left the house.

Outside the door, there is a narrow and crowded town unique to Japan, and the sun is dazzling and bustling with people.
