Tokyo Nerima District, Qinghe-gumi underground boxing stadium, butler's office.

"How are things going with you asking me this morning? Is someone really going to assassinate you? The housekeeper, Taro Ishimura, took a sip of tea and asked.

Sethi nodded and replied:

"Yes, but I've taken it into the alley to solve it."

Hearing that there was really a short-sighted dare to assassinate Seti, Ishimura Taro's brows furrowed, and even the scars on his face were twisted together, he pondered for a long time, and asked:

"Do you know what group of people it is?"

Seti also picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip of sweet black tea, shook his head and replied:

"I don't know, it looks like a social animal, but there is no organization on it, and people are nervous, muttering strange things like abilities."

After speaking, Seti lowered his head and sipped his tea, while his eyes carefully stared at the change in Ishimura Taro's expression.

He was deliberately revealing the existence of the Anomalous to see Taro Ishimura's reaction.

The chrysanthemum-like wrinkles on Taro Ishimura's old face were piled up even more obviously, and he didn't care about the second half of Setty's words, but just wondered: "Send a social animal to assassinate you... The other party has a gun? ”

It seems that the butler is unaware of the existence of the Anomalous... Seti replied, "No, so I solved it easily." ”

Sethi then said:

"Is it possible to form a triad, after all, I have offended such a gangster now."

Taro Ishimura replied directly:

"The triad won't, they can't protect themselves now, let alone devote their energy to finding out your true identity and carrying out assassination... It should be someone from another organization. ”

Then he raised his head with a solemn expression, and his old but not faint eyes burst out with a smear, and said to Seti:

"Don't worry, if you dare to take action against the people of our Qinghe Group, no matter how big the organization is, I will definitely find it out and help you take revenge!"

Why do you like to plant flags so much... I want to follow the plot of the movie... Next, you should be discovered by the other party for investigating a mysterious organization, and then be quietly killed... Seti reminder:

"Do what you can, tell me as soon as you have any news, don't do it."

Without waiting for Taro Ishimura to refuse, Seti casually chatted:

"Yesterday I was in the triad with the team leader, and I met your brother."

Ishimura Taro was silent suddenly, raised his hand and touched the scar on his face, and replied in a low voice, "I know." ”

And he said no more.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Hiss... The relationship between these two brothers is worse than I thought... Sethi looked apologetic and said, "I'm sorry, I seem to have said the wrong thing. ”

Hearing this, Taro Ishimura also walked out of the deep appearance of reminiscing about the past, drank all the black tea in front of him, wiped the water stains at the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a smile:

"No, my gaffes are just old things."

He looked at Sethi and asked, "I guess you're curious about his amazing and powerful sword skills, aren't you?" ”

"Yes." Seti graciously admitted.

Taro Ishimura said, "I don't know much about his katana and his superb swordsmanship... Kojiro, he hasn't been very strong since he was a child, and among my brothers, he still belongs to the slightly weaker kind.

"In winter, my ears are red from the cold, and I will only get into my arms and rub hard, like a kraft candy, I can't kick it away..."

Speaking of the past, the corners of the butler's wrinkled mouth unconsciously rose with happiness.

The words also reminded Seti of when she was a child in winter, when she stuffed her cool hands into her sister's back to warm her hands, she was so cold that she shivered, and she had to fight with herself on the spot... So he understands the butler's current state very well.

Family affection is like this, although it is so ordinary, it penetrates into the bits and pieces of your life, hides in the corners of your memory, lingers around you, and portrays the traces of your and their lives.

The housekeeper continued:

"That's why I was even more trained in the sword, how could there be such conditions at that time.

"After Kojiro first joined the Qinghe group with me, the weapon he used was not a katana, but a Browning pistol, and his eyes were very good, so he was very accurate."

After a pause, he pondered for a moment before he said:

"As for when you started making katanas... It started after I came back from the old team leader that day, right?

"I still don't know exactly where they went, but I know that they went close to all the main forces, and with the words of the old team leader, only fourteen people came back, which is an unimaginable casualty.

"But since then, Kojiro has wielded a katana, and has become extremely powerful, and the average well-trained yakuza is no match for him, even if he wields a gun... But ah... It's also becoming more and more strange to me..."

Taro Ishimura stroked the hideous scar on his face that seemed to be still in pain, and sighed with emotion.

It's the same as the headlight team leader said... They all went to some mysterious place... After I came back, it changed dramatically... Seti thought to himself, and then he asked:

"Do you still have his contact information?"

Ishimura Kojiro looked at Seti and did not answer, but asked:

"You want to learn how to use him? I think it's better to dismiss this idea... Now, as I get older and more experienced, I feel more and more that the world is not as simple as we see it in front of us. ”

Yes, it's not simple, not only does it have extraordinary power, but it also has the existence of such a thing as a supernatural person... Seti didn't rush to talk about these things to Taro Ishimura.

From the assassination of the kidney-deficient skeleton man to himself, as well as anonymous text messages, plus the organization that had no information at all afterwards.

Seti had only just come into contact with the tip of the iceberg of the transcendent world when he felt the malice that came to his face.

So Seti knew very well that this transcendent knowledge was definitely not something that could be shared at will.

Taro Ishimura glanced at Seti, who was thinking, and suddenly said:

"I don't actually have Kojiro's contact either, but I know of a place where you might be able to find him."

"Where?" Sethi replied.

Taro Ishimura replied:

"Aoi private cemetery outside of Tokyo.

"Kojiro used to love going there, but now I haven't seen him in years... After he came to the Qinghe group last night, he didn't even want to meet me again, and he disappeared without a trace after coming out of the triad, and no one could contact him.

"So, I don't know if he's going there now... I don't have any other ways to find him. ”

Outside of Tokyo, Aoi Private Cemetery... Seti silently memorized the name and decided to take the time to see it.

Judging from the fact that Kojiro Ishimura helped the Qinghe group last night and his attitude towards Seti's looming, Seti didn't think that this person was hostile to him.

In other words, if you can get in touch with it privately.

The other party may be the best springboard for Seti to learn about the otherworld, and even find out the organization behind his assassination.

Of course... Once you've figured out what's behind it, it's a different matter how to deal with it, and that's something to consider later.

Now the enemy is in the dark, and he is in the light.

Seti has no idea how much power the guy who assassinated him is, all he can do is complete the mission, level up, increase his own strength, and finally crush the other party!

To learn about the transcendent world, on the one hand, it is not to be in a state of blindness, and on the other hand, it is also to complete the tasks of the five abilities more quickly, so as to level up faster.

Sethi nodded and said to Taro Ishimura, "Well, I see... By the way, just patronizing and chatting, I haven't talked about today's boxing opponents. ”

"Yes, yes, I almost forgot about business." Taro Ishimura also looked up at the time and scratched his head.

Then he clicked the mouse, and the small printer on the computer desk was buzzing again, and a copy of the fighter's information was quickly printed, and he handed it to Sethi, and said:

"This person is in the limelight in Tokyo right now, and he is very suitable as your opponent at this stage."

Seti took the hot A4 paper and looked down.

Boxer Profile:

Nickname: Little Monk

Real Name: Unknown

Identity: Trainee monk at Sensoji Temple

Personal experience: Now only 14 years old, he has already fought black boxing in Meguro, Shibuya, Setagaya, Nakano, Suginami, and Shinjuku black boxing stadiums in Tokyo, and won all of them.

Personal advantages: proficient in fists and feet, more like a kickboxer, fast speed, strong strength...

This is followed by some of the usual tactics, as well as textual descriptions of fighting in other rings.

Fast speed, strong power... You monk... It won't be called Shiraishi Shu... Seti complained in his heart.

Without waiting for him to speak, Taro Ishimura continued:

"Don't look at this person as only fourteen years old, but I have heard my peers talk about him before, saying that he has a lot of combat experience, great strength, and does not deal with danger at all, without stage fright, not at all like a fourteen-year-old junior high school student."

"And—" Ishimura Taro stood up, and with his fingers that were slightly distorted in his joints, he tapped a line from the usual tactics of the file in Seti's hand, and said:

"Look here, during the battle in Shibuya Ward, this man used his head to knock out his opponent... So, when you fight next, you should remember to guard against this. ”

Shaolin Kung Fu is good... I'm an iron head... I am... Seti automatically plays the magic BGM in his mind.

In his mind, his face did not change, and said:

"It's okay, I'll take care of it."

"Haha, I'm only more worried when other people say this kind of thing, but when you say this kind of thing, I feel inexplicably relieved." Ishimura Taro smiled, and then he opened his mouth to remind,

"After so many days of publicity and fermentation, and today is Saturday, there must be a lot of spectators in the boxing stadium, and there are more of them rushing for you.

"So, this is a great opportunity for you, if you defeat the 'Little Monk' who is half of Tokyo this time, then you will be completely famous, and the entire black boxing circle in Tokyo will have to score a stroke for you."

Sethi nodded: "Yes, I understand. ”

The butler has made it obvious that this high-profile boxing match is very important.

是瑟提将这些日青禾组宣传的“虚名”，转化为真正“人气”的关键。

If you win, you will become famous, and if you lose, you will waste these days of publicity, not to mention returning to the original point, but at least you will lose a large number of fans, and it will be more difficult to turn over again.

But the level 1 Sethi didn't think he would lose, and now Sethi has been promoted to level 2 and has been promoted in all aspects.

Seti smiled confidently:

"If you have a lot of spectators, the size of this gambling pool is not small, right?"

Hearing Seti's confident words, Taro Ishimura turned on the computer to check the meeting, and said with the same smile:

"It's not small, according to the current scale, if you win the little monk, according to the 20% of the betting pool, at least you can share more than 14 million!"

Fourteen million plus five million appearance fees... It's almost close to 20 million, which is comparable to my mother's salary for three years... It's better to make money by playing black boxing... As soon as he sighed, Seti discovered the blind spot.

He asked, "20%?"

"My pool revenue share isn't 15%, when did it go up?"

Instead, Taro Ishimura looked at Seti in surprise and asked, "You don't know?"

"This is the reward given to you by the team leader for breaking into the triad alone, didn't the team leader tell you?"

"Nope!" Seti was even more confused.

The head of the headlight black leather team didn't mention it to him in the car at all last night, and even gave him an extra 1 million yen, but after returning home, the old sister Nishinomiya Yuka found out.

Seeing this, Taro Ishimura's expression gradually became strange, and he asked:

"You won't... Offended the team leader, right? ”

"Huh?" The biubiubiu on Seti's head is full of question marks.

He had a great time chatting with the leader of the headlight blackskin team last night, and Aoi told Seti a lot of personal stories.

Anyway, Seti is a galgame clearance expert, but she didn't see any angry performance at all, and she didn't find out where he offended Aoi Broken Branch.

It can't be because he didn't choose to open the suitcase, didn't find out on the spot that Aoi Broken Branch gave him an extra million and thanked him... The headlight leader can't be so stingy, right?

Seti said: "I didn't offend the team leader, maybe I started to 'fight' with the triad, so the team leader was very busy, forgot?" ”

But Ishimura Taro thought about it for a moment, but he looked like he suddenly realized.

He explains:

"Between the gangs now, it is not the kind of gang leader who needs to take the lead in fighting in the past, and the team leader is actually not busy, because of this 'war', our Qinghe group has been planning for a long time, but it has always lacked a legitimate reason, that is, the fuse.

"Now it's just going according to the plan, step by step. In addition, there is no unplanned resistance yet, so the team leader who is in charge of the overall situation can be regarded as busy. ”

In other words, are you fishing? Seti replied, "It's going well." ”

Then Taro Ishimura continued:

"I think you're going to offend the team leader.

"I think about it, didn't you message me this morning that someone was sending you threatening text messages and wanted to assassinate you?"

"Yes." Sethi nodded.

Ishimura Taro said: "And when I went to help you check, I also went to the team leader to ask, after all, I want to eliminate the triad first."

"But when I mentioned your name, I noticed that the team leader immediately frowned... I didn't care about it at the time, but now that I think about it, the team leader is really angry with you. ”

But I didn't do anything... Seti was puzzled and said, "I don't understand, I didn't notice it at all." ”

Ishimura Taro smiled and said:

"Don't think about it.

"After that, I told the team leader about your assassination and threats, and she immediately investigated more positively than anyone else.

"Call after call, almost call the entire Tokyo gang leader, otherwise how could I have replied to you so quickly?"

Immediately afterwards, Ishimura Taro lowered his voice, lowered his head and approached Seti, smiled at his aunt, and said:

"I, I've watched this girl grow up since I was a child, and I still see her so anxious for a man..."

Seeing that Seti did not speak.

Taro Ishimura continued to laugh and said:

"Haha, don't be shy, young man, you don't have any psychological burden on age for broken branches, although she is almost thirty years old, she has taken over the Qinghe group since she was a child, and she has always been busy, so she has no experience in love.

"Seriously, the first time you two met, I noticed that she had an unusual attitude towards you."

Looking at Seti's handsome appearance and upright posture, Taro Ishimura quipped:

"Tsk, it's really young and handsome, it's the capital, plus the boxing is also powerful, if I were a woman, I would fall immediately... Thinking about it? If you are good with the broken branches, you don't have to worry about your family's debts. ”

Hey, this sells the headlight black skin team leader?

Although an LSP, Seti still replied seriously:

"I don't have this plan for the time being, after all, I have too little contact and don't know enough about it. If I have a debt, I still prefer to pay it with my own hands. ”

"Understood, understood." Ishimura Taro also withdrew from the matchmaker's state, got serious, and boasted: "At a young age, I don't bend my eyes for money, I don't bend my waist for power, but the team leader is a great figure." ”

Hehe, good praise, what I like to listen to is this... Seti said modestly: "False praise, don't chat, I'll go back to warm up first, and prepare for the boxing match with the 'little monk'." ”

After speaking, Seti exchanged a few words with the butler and left the office.

Wait until he's gone.

The office was deserted, except for the sound of Taro Ishimura tapping on the keyboard.

Half a day.

Taro Ishimura suddenly raised his head and said in a loud voice:

"Everyone is gone, and you're still eavesdropping?"

Squeak –

The empty wall was pushed out of a secret door.

Aoi Shizhi, who was wearing a black coat, walked out slowly, his cold expression did not change, and he did not have the slightest embarrassment of eavesdropping on being discovered.

Ishimura Taro didn't look up, and continued to be busy on the computer with the regulation and comparison of the gambling pool, and said at the same time:

"Now that you're 'fighting', as the team leader, is it really good for you to be so idle?"

Aoi Shizhi didn't answer him.

Danfeng's noble eyes silently watched the door.

Taro Ishimura turned his head and asked with a smile, "Where did this kid provoke you, I don't think he realized it at all." ”

Aoi still didn't answer, and his eyes were still looking in the direction where Seti had left.

"Do you really like him that much? This is not quite like the leader of the commanding Qinghe group. At this point, Taro Ishimura stopped even typing on the keyboard and joked.

Because he watched her grow up since he was a child, when he was alone with Aoi Shizhi, Taro Ishimura no longer had that respectful attitude.

"I don't know." Aoi Broken Branch finally retracted his gaze, shook his head and replied,

"Maybe I just saw my previous shadow from him, so I paid more attention to him."

Taro Ishimura retorted:

"A few more looks? Not only that, I have managed the Qinghe Group Black Boxing Stadium for so many years, but after signing the contract for the first time, I have not fought in the Qinghe Group, so I directly increased the share to 20%. ”

"Because the wrist master is a talent, he needs to be wooed and stayed." Aoi Broken Branch found a reason.

"Well, yes, yes, wrist hao is indeed a rare black fist seedling, with a steady personality and strong punching skills, but..."Ishimura Taro swept his eyes at the completely mature Aoi Broken Branch, and reminded:

"I won't say anything else, but I will use the experience of the past to warn you: Feelings are like this, they come quickly, go slowly, and hide deeper.

"You should also think about the future, I still want to help you coax your children while I can move after retirement."

"Experience? You're not a bachelor too. Aoi said politely.

Taro Ishimura was silenced by the real injury.

After a long time, he muttered: "When I was young, I had a lot of people chasing me, right?" ”

Then I saw that Qingjing was no longer talking nonsense, and he was about to leave.

Taro Ishimura hurriedly said:

"But I'm very clear that if you don't take the opportunity now, you'll regret it for the rest of your life."

"I don't regret it."

Leaving such a sentence, Qingjing didn't reply to the broken branches, and left through the secret door.
