Chapter 3 Japan Branch

"? Japan?!" When Lu Mingfei got up, he looked at the text message on his phone and was stunned.

「Rardo· M. Lu, this text message is to inform you that you have been assigned an internship assignment by the Executive Department, and you are expected to leave for the airport at 7:00 a.m. next Monday morning, when a special car will be waiting for you in front of the dormitory, and you will take the 1000 special express train to Chicago. You can ask the person in charge of the task for the details of the task, and you don't need to worry about your attendance and credits, as the Executive Office has asked the professors of various subjects for leave on your behalf." The text message is from Norma.

Now he knows where Lu Mingze is talking about "a good place for vacation", Japan is indeed a unique and good place for travel and vacation for foreigners, and all Lu Mingfei's knowledge of this island country comes entirely from dramas and love films, and all his impressions focus on underground idols, violent games, perverted uncles, JK uniforms and ...... Otaku heaven?

As the first country to link the attributes of family squatting with the second dimension and carry it forward to the world, Lu Mingfei is full of respect there.

And tomorrow is next Monday, which means that Lu Mingfei has a whole day to prepare for the trip to Japan, which is his privilege as an "S" class, and generally for the sake of the confidentiality of the mission, the time interval between the students receiving the mission and the departure is generally not more than three hours.

Lu Mingfei took out the booklet "100 Practical Japanese Sentences for Travel" from the bookcase, and found an electronic dictionary with a layer of dust in the closet, but suddenly remembered that the discount goods bought for 498 yuan in this shopping mall event did not seem to support Japanese.

But Lu Mingfei is not very panicked, he has been watching it for many years, and he has long accumulated a realm that can barely be understood even if he is barely out of subtitles, as long as he can understand it, then communication is not an obstacle.

……

The morning drizzle fell on the mountains, bringing out a hazy mist, and the pine waves swelled like the tide of the sea. When Yuan Zhisheng pushed open the wooden door of the hut, he saw an old man in white linen forging a knife by the fireside, and each hammer was full of flames, making a clear and striking sound.

"Summoned me so urgently, I thought you would wait for me in the office, the headquarters will send someone, and you still have the leisure to fight in the mountains?" Yuan Zhisheng took off his clothes that were wet by the drizzle and hung them by the fire to bake.

"There is an old Chinese saying that Mount Tai collapses in front of it but its color does not change, and the elk thrives on the left and does not look instantaneous. The sword master Miyamoto Musashi also said something similar. When facing the enemy, you should keep yourself, and if you are disturbed by the rhythm of the enemy, you will show your flaws." The old man inserted the knife embryo into the charcoal fire, "You look very tired, take a rest first, take a sip of the western soju next to you, warm up your body, this spring has rained too much, and the cold air is going to sink into the cracks of your bones."

Gen Zhisheng didn't speak, and stared at the fire while drinking.

The old man patted the charcoal ash on his hand and said, "I have heard everything about this investigation, you are doing the right thing, don't have any burden."

"Watching those people embark on the road of no return, watching themselves execute them, white knives going in, red blood flowing out, Daddy, did you ever relented when you did these things?" Yuan Zhisheng asked.

"It was inevitable at first, and then it slowly became bearish. There are too many stories of fallen people eventually becoming Deadpool no matter what, even if it's not their own will, but since it's inevitable to kill, it's better to think of killing as a kind of practice." The old man said slowly. ….

Yuan Zhisheng was silent for a moment: "The fierce ghosts have made great progress recently, they have obtained a genetic potion called 'Molotov Cocktail, which can activate dragon blood in a way with great side effects, and use genetic technology to force evolution, which is an unprecedented new achievement, and if this development continues, it will be only a matter of time before the real bloodline purification medicine appears, and the matter has been troublesome to the point that it has to be dealt with."

"They must not be allowed to continue. The forbidden door must not be opened, and if you pursue the power of the dragon, you will be devoured by the dragon!" The old man's eyes were solemn.

"Understood." Yuan Zhisheng said.

"I am pleased that the Standing Board and your personal prestige in the family are rising. It won't be long before I can confidently pass on the position of the Patriarch to you," the old man looked at Gen Zhisheng, "I know

You're tired, but it's not time to relax."

"It's not time to say that yet." Gen Zhisheng shook his head, a hint of boredom in the depths of his eyes, "Tell me about someone from the academy headquarters."

"I got the notification last night. The headmaster sent an elite team to Japan, targeting something deep in the trench. The Commissioner's specialist will fly a manned submersible to conduct seabed exploration, and the equipment has already arrived at the Port of Tokyo." The old man said, "This is an operation led by the headquarters of the academy, the diving team is directly dispatched by the headquarters, the deep submersible is also manufactured by the equipment department of the headquarters, Schneider, the head of the executive department, conducts remote command, and Norma monitors the whole process. We're just here to help and support."

Gen Zhisheng frowned: "The headquarters hasn't interfered in our affairs for decades, how can you reach out to Japan this time?"

"Ange has done several great things in the past two years, which has also caused him to have a conflict with the school board of directors of the headquarters, he has just suppressed the attack of the school board, and at this time the news came that 'there may be an embryo of a dragon in the trench of Japan, he will not give up such an opportunity, and this reason is indeed unassailable, we cannot refuse, unless we can prove that the thing in the trench is not the embryo of a dragon." The old man said.

"If the headquarters are allowed to probe it, the burial place will inevitably be exposed." "We have to find a way to stop them!"

"That's Ange, and no one can stop what the man has decided to do. His shadow has been hanging over us for decades, and today we can no longer withstand the pressure of him." The old man stared at the fire, and there was a flame reflection in his pupils, "Then take this opportunity to bury the god's burial place forever, since the god is dead, there is no need to return to the world."

Yuan Zhisheng was silent for a long time, and then nodded, "I will try my best to convince the other family masters."

"I thought you'd ask why." The old man said.

"Why do I want to ask so much," Gen Zhisheng said, "Daddy, can you answer them all for me?"

The old man didn't speak for a long time, just sighed incessantly, and then he took out a folder from the stove and handed it to Yuan Zhisheng: "This is the information faxed by the headquarters, there are three people who came to Japan on a business trip this time, and it is said that it is Ange's ace combination, and they are reluctant to use it easily."

Yuan Zhisheng flipped through the information, and after only looking at it for the first time, he frowned: "It's all for children, is the principal joking?" ….

"It does seem that they are young people with little experience, but they are all of excellent blood, and they have a lot of experience with the first generation, which is indeed very rare, and there are only a handful of living people in this era who have faced the first generation." The old man said, "We can trust Ange in this matter, he never values a person lightly, and he never misses anyone, I will arrange the meeting of the head of the eight families, I want you to receive these young people, win their trust, and it is best to get them to cooperate with our plan." The most important thing is that they must not be allowed to be touched by the 'fierce ghosts'."

"Understood, maybe the dungeon is a good place to entertain?" Yuan Zhisheng raised his eyebrows and said.

"Don't be like you used to this time, I mean let you find a way to please them and show them our hospitable side." The old man smiled bitterly.

"We still have that side?"

"Don't underestimate the young man sent by the headquarters, you can be called the strongest combination in the headquarters academy, and you are the strongest man in the Japanese branch, in a sense, you are still competitors." The old man drew his blade, lifted the hammer and began to forge again.

"Got it, then I'll go back and do some preparations," Gen Zhisheng put on his trench coat, "How's Eri Ei doing?"

"Another nightmare." The old man took a sip of the liquor and spat on the red-hot blade, and the fire rose.

……

"It's too torturous." Lu Mingfei looked at the wings through the window and complained.

He was referring to the ubiquitous noise in the plane, which he boarded at 7 a.m. and the roar of the engines from the moment it took off was tormenting his ears.

In fact, generally speaking, the cabin design of the "Gulfstream G550" is extremely quiet.

It's a great way to sleep on this private jet, but this one is different because it's made by the armament department, so in addition to the roar of the engines, passengers can hear the shrill whistling of the wings tearing through the air.

Its nickname is "Slepnir", which is named after the eight-legged steed, the mount of the main god Odin in Norse mythology, which burns like a meteor as it skims the sky. But Lu Mingfei felt that even a genuine eight-legged divine horse might not be able to make such a noise. The armament department has always been unable to come up with something that balances performance, such as this "Sleipnier", they only think about extreme speed, and as for ride comfort, they didn't think about it from the beginning, after all, they don't fly in this plane, it's the principal's personal car.

"Senior brother, do you know what's going on in the Japanese branch? How long are we going to stay in Japan this time?" Lu Ming asked Chu Zihang beside him boringly.

"Before I left, I asked Norma for information about the Japanese branch." Chu Zihang said, "The Japanese branch is nominally a branch of the college, but in fact it is a semi-independent institution, and their structure is not the same as the college, they do not accept students, unlike the expatriate organization of the college, but more like an underworld organization."

"Underworld? Brother, are you sure you're not mistaken? How did the academy get involved with the underworld?" Lu Mingfei's mouth opened wide.

"Because the situation of the Japanese branch is relatively special, and the local mixed-race forces are deeply rooted, the so-called Japanese branch is not a resident institution of the academy, but a cooperative institution established by the international students they send to the academy every year, and each of them has a dual identity, an underworld cadre and an employee of the academy." Chu Zihang said, "How much do you know about the Japanese underworld?" ….

"Well, my knowledge of the Japanese underworld is limited to Rulong......" Lu Mingfei said, "Anyway, we cooperate with the underworld, is it really okay?" I have a clean resume, and if I want to talk about violations of law and discipline, I only have a dozen pirated game disks that have been seized by Chicago Customs, so wouldn't it be good to collude with the underworld?"

"Don't worry, I'll first popularize the laws of Japan, Japan is the only country in the world that allows underworld organizations to exist in accordance with the law. Because Japanese law only investigates the specific person who committed the crime and does not pursue the criminal organization, even the Yamaguchi-gumi, who claims to be the largest underworld organization in Japan, is still a legal association. In Japan, the underworld is a special profession, and you can pay social insurance and receive unemployment benefits normally if you work in the underworld, so it is not illegal to be associated with the underworld organization in Japan, and you don't have to be afraid of being arrested by the police." Chu Zihang said.

"That's good, that's good." Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief.

"But the underworld is the underworld after all, and the Japanese branch is notoriously fond of abusing the commissioners sent by the headquarters, and every commissioner who has been on a business trip to Japan feels that the Japanese branch is a hellish place, according to their description, it seems that they have been abused in every way there, and they have simply lost their dignity as human beings, and the academy has no control over the Japanese branch, so they can only turn a blind eye to this situation." Chu Zihang continued.

"No wonder Fingal had that look on his face when he heard I was going to Japan on a business trip." Lu Mingfei said viciously, "He also rubbed me off a meal and said it was for me to see me off!"

"Boss Caesar, what do you think?" Lu Mingfei patted Caesar who was sitting in front of him and asked.

This "ace team" is composed of three heavyweights: Lu Mingfei, Chu Zihang and Caesar Gattuso, Chu Zihang's personal tasks are quite good, but the two cooperative tasks are a little difficult to describe, and in Lu Mingfei's resume, there is a tendency to break away from the team in the three tasks, so the person in charge of this collaborative mission falls on Caesar's head.

But Caesar didn't say a word since he got on the plane, and even Lu Mingfei didn't pay attention to Lu Mingfei's complaints about the noise on the plane, it stands to reason that Caesar's hearing is much more sensitive than ordinary people because of his speech, and he should be the most unbearable person on this plane, but he can calm down so much that even Lu Mingfei knows that Caesar loves to maintain his image, and he thinks he is a little too pretending.

"What's the matter?" Caesar turned around, took off two earplugs from his ears, his face changed, and he stuffed one back, pointing one ear at Lu Mingfei.

It turned out that he didn't calm down, but he came prepared.

Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief, Caesar didn't speak all the time, making him think it was for him and Chu Zihang

If the group members have any opinions, it turns out that they can't hear them.

"I mean, Boss Caesar, what do you think about dealing with the Japanese branch?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"It's not a big problem." Caesar waved his hand, "Judging from the content of the mission, this mission is still led and commanded by the academy headquarters, and the cooperation with the Japanese branch is not deep, besides, it's just the underworld, are you afraid?"

Looking at Caesar's confident expression as always, Lu Mingfei thought about it and showed an expression of sudden realization: "I remembered! Boss, your Gattuso family is an Italian giant, so do you still have a mafia background, boss?"
