"Yes." Qingjing's red lips opened and closed, and asked rhetorically, "Don't you look like it?" ”

"It's not much like... I feel like the butler is younger than him. Seti replied truthfully.

Although the housekeeper Ishimura Taro has gray temples, his beard is neatly trimmed every day, and his short hair of a gentleman is quite energetic; But the old samurai Ishimura Kojiro just now was completely different, with a long beard and long hair tied up at the back of his head, although he was also white, but according to his old appearance, he always felt older.

But according to the names of the two, Taro Ishimura obviously means the eldest in the family, and Kojiro doesn't need to explain much, so Seti can guess the relationship between the two based on the name.

- Because "Oro" is the name of the ancestors of the Japanese, the Japanese name the boss is not "Oro", but "Taro".

———— is not surnamed Wu, the big man who drinks medicine every day...

Hearing Seti's question, Aoi Shizhi seemed to recall for a moment before he said:

"Indeed, the fourth master... Although Kojiro Ishimura looks not young, he is actually nearly ten years younger than Old Man Ishimura. ”

She casually called Ishimura Kojiro the fourth master... But immediately after that, his expression darkened slightly, and he changed his name to call it directly.

Although the change in expression was fleeting, Seti was keenly aware of it.

There are stories... Instead of recklessly gossiping, Seti replied in surprise: "Ten years old? I thought they were the same age. ”

"yes." Aoi took out a slender lady's cigarette again, hung it on her red lips, and fumbled for a lighter next to the seat... I searched for a long time but couldn't find it.

Seti saw at a glance, behind her plump buttocks, covered by the hem of her trench coat.

So Seti stepped into the pool with one hand, took out the lighter, and handed it to Aoi Chip.

The latter naturally took it and did not thank him.

Ignition.

After swallowing the clouds and spitting out the fog for a moment, accompanied by the gray smoke and the brilliance of the stars outside the window, Aoi Shizhi suddenly turned his head and asked:

"Do you believe there is a place in the world that accelerates aging?"

I didn't believe it at first, but after a few days of personal experience of my half-beast heart and data, etc...

Coupled with the fact that the elderly samurai Kojiro Ishimura just now is obviously not an ordinary person's means... I feel more and more that this world is not ordinary...

Seti nodded seriously and said:

"I believe it."

"Haha!" Aoi Shizhi suddenly couldn't laugh, as if amused by Seti's sincere and dumb appearance, she teased:

"You really want to record what you just looked like, are you really stupid, is there really anyone in the world who believes in such superstitious things? It's hilarious, isn't it? ”

- Just like she was more than ten years ago.

Immediately after that, Qingjing Broken Branch directly extinguished the cigarette that had not been smoked twice, sat up straight, the full headlights became steeper and steeper, and she said on a whim:

"In that case, I'll talk to you casually."

"But... Team leader, we should be here......" The little secretary of the flying hat reminded faintly at this time.

Qingjing's broken branch Danfeng's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he said, "Stop, get down and wait!" ”

"Hey!" The little secretary of the flying hat hurriedly stopped, crawled out of the cab, stood outside the car, quickly returned to normal, and began to stand guard as hard as he could—obviously deliberately avoided.

The follow-up Qinghe Group's six cars that were also black also pulled over.

Qingjing Shizhi looked a little gloomy at this time, squinted his eyes at Seti, and asked, "Do you still want to hear it?" ”

"Yes." Seti replied sincerely.

Qingjing Broken Branch smiled, and the aura of the strong woman disappeared suddenly.

Don't make the difference too obvious.

She thought about it for a moment and said:

"That's probably what happened when I was thirteen years old, when I was still in middle school, very carefree, singing karaoke every day, teaching hooligans, collecting protection money from the surrounding schools... Haha, that's a long way off.

"One day I came home from school and found my father, then the leader of the Qinghe group, preparing to go away.

"I still don't know where my father went to that time, but he gambled and brought almost all the main forces of the Qinghe Group at that time, leaving only a few core members such as the old man Shicun to maintain the operation of the Qinghe Group."

Aoi's thoughts drifted back to middle school.

She continued:

"Half a month later, my father came back, but behind him, only thirteen people were brought back!"

"How many main forces did you have in the Qinghe group at that time?" Seti interjected.

"Except for the many external editors who were inserted in the corners of the Nerima area, there were at least 100 core main forces taken away by my father at that time." Aoi replied.

Only thirteen of the hundred people came back? What the hell did you go to? Seti sighed with emotion: "This loss is really big enough, wasn't your Qinghe group a big loss of vitality at that time?" ”

Qingjing Broken Branch shook his head and said, "No, on the contrary, since then, the Qinghe Group has really reached the peak, reaching a peak that I have spent all my life unattainable. ”

Sethi: ???

Ignoring Seti's surprise, Aoi continued:

"When my father came back, I was keenly aware that he had aged more than ten years, and that there were more wrinkles on his face, and his eyes, which were originally sharp and difficult to look through, had a softer look of old age...

"Not only that, but the thirteen people who came back with him are all aging to varying degrees, and the guns in their hands have also turned into all kinds of strange weapons... For example, Kojiro Ishimura, who was originally a good gunman, suddenly came back with a katana.

"And Aunt Meizi, she is the only woman among the thirteen people, and she has also become a god chattering, chattering about ghosts and gods every day, a large number of thousands of people at the age of the player, actually like the witch costume that symbolizes purity and purity, and wears stinky beauty every day.

"But without exception, everyone's combat effectiveness has become extremely strong."

The shrine maiden costume of an old aunt with a pleated face... Seti got goosebumps just by imagining it.

Then Seti asked, "So Kojiro Ishimura's teleportation knife technique just now was learned from that mysterious place?" ”

"It should be." Qingjing Broken Branch nodded and said,

"But Ishimura Kojiro's situation is more special, so I'll explain it later."

She paused for a moment and continued, "In the next few years, the Qinghe Group grew stronger and stronger, and almost dominated half of Tokyo's gangsters... Oh, the Tokyo gangs of that era were not as complex as they are now, whoever had the biggest fist was the boss, and the expansion was all by force, so the Qinghe group was invincible at that time.

“... But the good times didn't last long. ”

Aoi Broken Branch paused for a moment and said:

"My father died of a sudden illness at that time.

After his death, the rapidly expanding Qinghe Group naturally had no leader, and began to split from the inside and became chaotic.

"The rest of the groups that had been bullied by the Qinghe Group also took advantage of this to unite to resist, not only oppressing the Qinghe Group back to the training area, but also threatening to destroy the Qinghe Group one by one."

Thinking of the darkest moment of the year, she lowered her head and looked for cigarettes again.

hesitated for a long time, but did not click on it, but looked up at the stars outside the window, opened his mouth, and did not talk about the past again, but sighed:

"Yes, my father died too early, only for me, who was seventeen years old at the time... Left such a mess of the Qinghe group. ”

Outside the window, the dazzling and dazzling lights wrapped in the silver-white moonlight quietly sprinkled on the body of the broken branches of Qingjing.

Seti turned her head to look at her cold face.

The black-skinned leader of the headlights in front of him seems to be no longer a strong woman who leads the gang, but a fragile woman who has been under great pressure since childhood.

Seti didn't know how to comfort her, but just responded:

"Yes, my dad is similar, he owes a lot of debt, but he escaped, leaving me and my mother and sister to rely on each other, working hard to pay off the debt."

"Hehe, then the two of us are quite sympathetic." Aoi Broken Branch turned around and laughed at himself.

Then he stopped talking.

The two fell into an awkward silence.

The sound insulation of this Qinghe group car is very good, and you can't hear the sound of traffic whistling outside, all you can hear is the gentle breathing of Seti and Qingjing Broken Branch.

Finally, it was Sethi who took the lead in asking:

"What about Kojiro Ishimura?"

Qingjing Broken Branch also replied:

"He... With the death of his father, the thirteen people in the Tokyo gangster circle also died one after another... However, with their help like a sunset before death, I was able to get the Qinghe team back on their feet in the Nerima area.

"Of those thirteen people now, only Kojiro Ishimura is still alive in the world.

"But since his father's death, his relationship with the Qinghe group has become extremely poor, about seven or eight years ago, when he even stabbed his brother Ishimura in the face, and after that, he completely disappeared from Tokyo."

青井碎枝 says:

"I thought he was dead too...

"But last night, he suddenly appeared in the Qinghe group, and he was about to join this operation of threatening and deceiving the triad by name... I don't know how he knew.

"But judging from the performance just now, Ishimura Koji... Forget it, let's call him the fourth master, it's more pleasant... The fourth master has also become stronger than more than ten years ago, not only you, but I was also surprised just now, after all, that is definitely not the speed that ordinary people like us can have. ”

Actually, you're the only one who is an ordinary person... "So it's all about that mysterious place?" There is no information at all about that mysterious place? ”

Qingjing Broken Branch pondered for a moment and said:

"It's not that there is no information at all, I remember that I used to hear my father mention that mysterious place, called... Takamagahara? ”

Takamagahara???

Seti was full of question marks.

In Japanese mythology and legend, this is the place where the gods live.

If I go, will that group of people run away to cultivate immortals?

Danfeng's eyes were raised slightly, and after finding that Seti was thinking seriously, Qingjing Broken Branch sneered and said:

"Poof... What do you think, you will believe what I say! It's all superstitious stuff.

"The performance of the fourth master of Ishimura just now may just be a special use of the knife drawing technique, but we don't understand it, so we think it is beyond the reach of non-humans."

No... Although I have hardly encountered it except today, I have come to feel that this world is absolutely possessed of extraordinary power... Seti also casually replied:

"yes, trust the science."

"Hmm-" stretched lazily, the mature and graceful curves stretched to the fullest, Qingjing's broken branches and willow eyebrows bent slightly, returning to their former cold and charming appearance, Danfeng's eyes flickered, and threatened:

"I accidentally talked a little too much today, and you know too much... I don't want to hear this story from anyone else again! ”

As soon as the words fell, her sharp eyes suddenly softened, and the aura of a mature strong woman disappeared, and she said with a smile:

"So then, if you don't be my little lover, you won't be able to end the scene."

It's so fast to change faces... In the face of flirting, Seti's face did not change, and he said in a deep voice: "Just give money." ”

"Haha, little money fan." Aoi laughed loudly, and then she raised her tight forearm and knocked on the car window.

The flying hat secretary outside the car hurriedly opened the door through a gap and bowed down to his ears.

"Tell Mizuno in the back to take the money from the wrist hao."

"Hey!" The Flying Hat Secretary quickly complied.

Not for a while.

A bald man named "Mizuno" approached from the back car, respectfully opened the door, handed the small black suitcase in his hand to Aoi Shizhi, and said, "Team leader, this is the money you want." ”

"Hmm." Aoi Shizhi replied casually, and his indifferent attitude was daunting.

Wait for the doors to close.

The cold thorny rose suddenly bloomed, and the red lips were lightly raised, and she looked at Sethi and said, "Come, little wealth fan, your reward for tonight." ”

Sethi eagerly took the black suitcase.

mentioned the weight of this "mother's annual salary".

Just put it on his lap, You Ran gave a thumbs up to the gold owner's mother and praised: "The boss is atmospheric!" ”

"Haha." Aoi Shizhi was amused by Seti's sudden tease, and then asked, "Don't open the count?" ”

"No, no, you are the leader of the Qinghe group, and you will definitely not be greedy for me for such a small amount of money." Seti replied.

"Yes—" Aoi Broken Branches stared meaningfully at Seti, and said no more.

Then he lowered the window and ordered to the flying hat secretary outside:

"Come back and drive."

The Flying Hat Secretary is back in place.

The convoy set off again.

Nothing to say all the way.

Drive back to the Qinghe group.

......

After the "old samurai" Kojiro Ishimura walked out of the triad, he did not get on the return convoy of the Qinghe group, but wore a simple katana on his waist and marched alone through the night streets.

In Tokyo, which has a high tolerance for fancy dress, the dress of Kojiro Ishimura, a samurai of the Warring States period, did not attract many people's attention.

So that he could walk alone and quietly.

Walking and walking.

Before he knew it, he was in this familiar place again.

Aoi Private Cemetery on the outskirts of Tokyo!

With the increasing scarcity of land resources, the rising price of cemeteries, and the weak family concept in the Japanese today, there are fewer and fewer families willing to spend a lot of money to build private cemeteries.

But fortunately, Qingjing Broken Branch is one of the few people who value love and righteousness.

This gave Kojiro Ishimura a chance to meet the "Aoi Team Leader" for whom he had sworn eternal loyalty and could even give his life for it.

Even if it's just a meeting separated by yin and yang, all you can see is a cold tombstone.

"I haven't seen you in years, sorry... The broken branch girl has also grown up, and the Qinghe group is well organized, although it is not as good as when we were then, but it is also very good... Don't worry..."

Kojiro Ishimura skillfully brushed away the dust on the tombstone with his hands, and his sharp eyes were like the eyes where the sword was, and it was rare to feel warm.

Suddenly!

The quaint katana at his waist suddenly beeped!

On Ishimura Kojiro's wrinkled face, the warmth quickly disappeared, and he said instead: "What person! ”

"You're still so sensitive—" An electronic synthesis sound came from the bushes not far away.

Soon.

Squeeze one out of the bushes... Plastic Ultraman!

With its cheap materials and shapes, I'm afraid that even the most playful children will shake their heads and walk away when they see it.

Ultraman Plastic continued to ask in a synthesized voice:

"See, do you have any comments?"

Seeing this, the sharpness between Ishimura Kojiro's eyebrows decreased a little, turned around and continued to wipe the dust and cobwebs on the tombstone, and asked rhetorically:

"Who are you asking? The girl with broken branches?

"Or... You son of a coward who doesn't even dare to reveal his true body? ”

Kojiro Ishimura pronounced the real name of the person behind Ultraman Plastic word by word:

"Pro... Matthews! ”
