Chapter Thirty-Eight: God Returns Home
Melodious music is playing from a loudspeaker on the roof of an advertising car, a magnetic male voice is reading the slogan, and a gorgeously dressed young man stands at the front and back of the car handing out discount coupons and gummies.
Lu Mingfei glanced at the advertising car, and looked back at Caesar expressionlessly: "Boss, do you know what advertising the advertising car is for?"
"I know." Caesar said, "Takamagahara Nightclub, the most famous cowherd nightclub in the entire Shinjuku area."
"Then boss, you should also know what the cowherd means, right?" Lu Mingfei raised his eyebrows.
"It's the kind of profession where customers pay to drink with guests." Caesar didn't seem to care.
Lu Mingfei sighed: "You chartered the Cowherd nightclub that we didn't go to before, and this is the one you won't talk about, right?"
"That's right." Caesar nodded earnestly.
"The way you said to hide in Shinjuku is not to be a cowherd, right?" Lu Ming is not supporting.
"What's the problem?" Caesar said.
"Of course there is a problem, a big problem!" Lu Mingfei tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Boss, are you sober!" If your family knew that you were going to be a cowherd, would they kill all the insiders?"
"Don't worry, listen to my analysis first." Caesar said with a serious face, "First of all, we need to hide our identity, and the profession of a cowherd does not require any identification, and secondly, the location of the Takamagahara nightclub is very good, only two streets away from Genji Heavy Industries, which is very suitable for us to investigate secretly."
"I think the need to hide my identity is not so strong compared to being a cowherd." Lu Mingfei said.
"You don't have to go, well, after all, you are not acting freely by yourself now, and it doesn't matter if you reveal your identity, but me and Chu Zihang, we still hope to do more." Caesar said.
Lu Mingfei looked at Chu Zihang, but found that Chu Zihang actually looked serious and thoughtful: "Hey, isn't it senior brother? Are you really thinking about messing around with the boss?"
"I don't think Caesar is wrong," Chu Zihang said solemnly, "Seven days is not a long time, it is not a short time, it should not be wasted, it is better for you to attract the attention of the Eight Snake Qi families on the surface, we hide and investigate secretly, the more information we have, the more you can take the initiative when you go to meet with Yuan Zhisheng in seven days."
"You've already discussed?" The expression on Lu Mingfei's face also became serious.
"We exchanged ideas while you were in the shower." Caesar said seriously, "You are the commissioner of the rector, and we don't want to be a useless drag, although we don't know what your plans are, we all hope that you don't have any worries, so please give full play to our value, and we will do our best if we need anything."
This is Caesar, and the pride of the second disease makes him unwilling to lose his own value no matter what, so he never stops doing something, and will always be in action. And Chu Zihang has always been a person who does his best, so these two rarely reached a consensus and formulated such a humble plan.
Lu Mingfei thought for a moment: "Your strategy is good, but how do we keep in touch?"
"Don't worry, we'll find a way to get in touch." Caesar said, "You don't believe in our power, do you?"
"Now that your minds have been determined...... That's fine." Lu Mingfei said, taking a deep breath, "The task of secretly collecting the intelligence of the Eight Snake Qi families will be entrusted to you, of course, I will also pay attention to the news of the fierce ghosts when I have time."
"Fierce ghosts?" Caesar was only momentarily surprised before nodding, "Got it, we'll get the job done."
Caesar and Chu Zihang nodded at Lu Mingfei, and the two got out of the car and walked towards the advertising car in front of them with a deadly attitude.
Lu Mingfei watched their backs, held back for a long time, and finally couldn't help laughing: "I actually thought of being a cowherd to hide my identity, what a ghost!"
"Cowherd, what is it?" Eri beside her asked, her big eyes full of curiosity.
Eri Yi rarely spoke, and suddenly asked such a sentence, which startled Lu Mingfei.
"Eri doesn't need to know
That's it." Lu Mingfei thought about it and felt that since this little princess of the underworld didn't know, it was better to keep it unaware, lest Yuan Zhisheng think that he had taught his sister badly, "Eri Yi only needs to know that I, Lu Mingfei, will starve to death, die outside, jump from Tokyo Bay, and I won't be a cowherd."
"The driver is gone, I have to go to drive, can Eri let go of my hand first?" Lu Mingfei asked, "It's not safe to drive with one hand."
Eri Yi nodded, Lu Mingfei took her out of the car, he sat in the driver's seat, Eri Yi sat in the passenger seat, Lu Mingfei looked back at this girl, he took her away from the Snake Qi Eight family more than ten hours ago, she is indeed very well-behaved, she doesn't talk or bother, it's very worry-free, but it is precisely because she doesn't talk and doesn't bother, it's easy for people to ignore her unconsciously.
The ghost sent the gods to the ground, and Lu Mingfei asked, "Do you want to see Tokyo at night?"
……
Genji Heavy Industries.
"All the heads of the house have arrived, and everyone is waiting for you to have a meeting." Tachibana Masamune said, pausing, "They have a lot of opinions about you letting Lu Mingfei take Eri Yi."
"What about you? Do you have any comments?" Yuan Zhisheng asked.
"Your decision naturally has its own considerations, and I don't have any opinions." Tachibana Masamune said.
"It's not just my decision, it's Eri's decision." Yuan Zhisheng said, "Eri Yi ran away from home with Lu Mingfei, as for me, I don't want her to get involved in these things, seven days, solve everything as soon as possible."
"This meeting is not for this, you don't have to worry, the clan will respect your decision." Tachibana Masamune said.
Yuan Zhisheng got up: "Then let's go."
The elevator took Minamoto and Tachibana Masamune directly into the conference hall. There are swords, armor and Buddha statues on the table, green smoke wafting from the incense burner in front of the Buddha statue, and the five heads of the family next to the table, Kotaro Kazama, Ryoma Ichiro, Miyamoto Shizuo, Sakurai Nanami, and Inuyama He, are kneeling and kneeling, and there are many senior cadres of the Snake Qi Eight families in the hall, each kneeling upright in their own positions.
Seeing Tachibana Masamune and Gen Zhisheng enter, the people in the hall stood up in unison and bowed.
Tachibana Masamune sat down in the first place, Gen Zhisheng sat on the side, and everyone looked at Tachibana Masamune, waiting for the patriarch to speak.
Tachibana Masamune glanced at everyone, and then spoke: "I have summoned you here today, just for one thing, I believe you have already been mentally prepared, at the time of this turmoil, the eight families of Snake Qi are about to continue to write a new chapter in history, a new era has come, I have been the patriarch for ten years, I have not made any achievements, I deeply feel that I am old, and it is difficult to assume the position of patriarch. The head of the Yuan family, Yuan Zhisheng, is in the prime of life, has outstanding abilities, and is deeply loved by the young people of the family, so I announce that I will resign from the position of the head of the family and recommend Yuan Zhisheng to be the next head of the family!"
After speaking, Tachibana Masamune took the lead in applauding, and everyone present, except for Gen Zhisheng, applauded one after another.
This is undoubtedly a sensational news,There are few patriarchs in history who have "resigned",Snake Qi Eight is the master of the Japanese underworld,The position of the patriarch is basically equivalent to the emperor of the Japanese underworld,In the past,The patriarch is also called the "shadow emperor",People who sit in this position are generally unwilling to give up their authority,So this position is usually lifelong,Even to some extent hereditary。 Of course, the emperor can't call it resignation if he doesn't want to do it, it should be said that it is more appropriate to call it abdication.
But the decision to abdicate came from the mouth of Tachibana Masamune, and the sensation caused was not so big, as Tachibana Masamune said, in fact, he did not have any outstanding achievements in the ten years he served as the head of the family, or if you evaluate Tachibana Masamune, in fact, there is only one of his greatest achievements, that is, he cultivated the young master of Gen Zhisheng.
Tachibana Masamune can only be regarded as mediocre among the patriarchs of the past dynasties, but Gen Zhisheng is the first person worthy of the younger generation of the Snake Qi Eight Family, whether it is strength or ability in all aspects, it has been recognized by almost the whole family, from the only seedling of the Gen family to the recognized Anamesuya of the Snake Eight Family, the growth of Gen Zhisheng surprised everyone, everyone thought that the future glory of the Snake Qi Eight Family would be pinned on this young Amaterasu, to put it mildly, many young people have long been secretly looking forward to Gen Zhisheng officially taking over the position of the patriarch.
So at this time
Tachibana Masamune announced the news, and no one raised an opinion, which was a matter of course.
After announcing this matter, Tachibana Masamune waved his hand, and did not let Gen Zhisheng say anything, and said, "Voting will begin now, please write your opinions and vote and leave the venue in an orderly manner, and the heads of the family will stay, and there will be something to discuss later."
So everyone wrote their opinions on their votes, put them in the ballot box, and soon there were only a few heads of families left in the hall, and after the heads of the houses had cast their votes, they returned to their places and sat down, listening to Tachibana Masamune talk about the next topic.
Tachibana Masamune said to Miyamoto Shio, "Master Miyamoto, let you know your research on the burial place of the gods."
Miyamoto Shio got up and bowed, and turned on the projector on the table: "Originally, this research report would not be released to you until further confirmation, but now that the crisis is imminent, there is not much time for us to study it with peace of mind."
Shio Miyamoto is a recognized academic authority in the family, and when he was studying at the Kassel Academy, he received letters of appointment from major faculties and research institutes because of his outstanding research ability, but he refused all of them and returned to the Japanese branch to preside over the Rock Flow Research Institute.
The projection was a blurry black-and-white photograph of the Lenin captured by the Ditrieste's camera in the depths of the trench, in the shape of a huge fleshy cocoon, with bloody mucus flowing down in a filamentous pattern, and millions of lung snails wriggling in the folds of the cocoon, making people look sick to look at for days.
"This is what the Dirieste found in the depths of the trench, the dragon embryo that Lenin transported, which has now sunk into magma with Takamagahara." "But it's not our research goal, it's God, the thing that was buried in Takamagahara 10,000 years ago. It's called God, but I think you all know that it's actually the devil who casts the curse."
"Seeing this picture, I think you also know in your hearts what happened, this is a bloody sacrifice that lasted for twenty years, and the blood of the embryo flowed into the ruins of Takamagahara, awakening the corpse guards buried under the ruins, of course, it can be imagined, and also awakening the gods."
"According to the Emperor's Chronicles, gods are actually mutilated, and mutilated gods need the genes of other high-level dragons to make up for them. The Lenin brought a living embryo to the gods, and the dragon's blood and keel were called the "Holy Grail" in ancient records, and in ancient alchemical texts, it was called liquid gold and a panacea, and it could even bring the dead back to life!"
Miyamoto showed a rubbings of an ancient book of an ancient painting of a muscular man holding up a huge dragon corpse bathed in the blood of a giant dragon, "The book is called The Song of the Nibelungen, a long narrative poem written in Middle and High Earth German, written in the eighth century AD. The painting depicts the mythical hero Siegfried slaying a dragon and bathing himself in dragon blood. This is very likely to be true history, ancient dragon slaying heroes often used dragon blood to refine their own flesh to promote their own evolution, and fetal blood is the most active and least toxic among dragon blood, and it is very likely that Siegfried killed an unhatched dragon embryo, and he used fetal blood to replenish himself and evolved into a high-level hybrid."
"Combining all this information, we can speculate that someone stole a precious embryo from the nameless port in northern Siberia and used some unknown means to block the normal development of the embryo, and the embryo eventually developed into a deformed monster, but its essence is still a dragon, and its body still has precious fetal blood flowing through it. The man sank the embryo into the abyss with the Lenin, and performed this great and bloody sacrifice to complete the mandification of the gods."
"So someone has succeeded in awakening God after a long period of preparation?" Nanami Sakurai said.
"That's right, this is undoubtedly no accident, the god has left Takamagahara, and all we have destroyed is an empty cemetery." Shio Miyamoto said.
"The first priest left this description in the Imperial Chronicles: 10,000 years ago, the gods awoke, and the four islands of Japan were crumbling in the midst of stormy waves and volcanic eruptions, and Takamagahara, who sank into the vast sea. When God awakens, He will give gifts to His people, and His gift is Greatness
Disaster. Twenty years ago, the Lenin sank into Takamagahara, the gods have begun to awaken, and the history of the catastrophe continues, and now the awakened gods have left Takamagahara, so dare to ask you, where will the awakened gods go?" Shio Miyamoto looked around at everyone.
"Will come back to ...... Hometown!" Wind Demon Kotaro's face was gloomy.
"Japan is the homeland of the gods." Nanami Sakurai's face was pale.
"Yes, it's back. Maybe it's in this city, no, no one knows what God is like, maybe it's all around us."
