"Are the people who want to awaken God the demons?" Ryoma asked.

"Who else but the Fierce Ghosts? That was the path of evolution they had longed for, and the only way to evolve into a pure-blooded dragon was through the blood of the gods." Tachibana Masamune said slowly, "Moreover, who else in this world knows that the gods are buried in the depths of the abyss? Even the secret party doesn't know, and the only ones who know this secret are the fierce ghosts and us. If the man who sank the Lenin into the trench was not all of you, it could only be a crowd of ghosts."

"They're crazy! No one can control God...... Once it awakens, it will be an absolute master! Nothing will be able to suppress it!" Ryoma said loudly.

"Time is running out, the Demons have awakened God, and God has returned to his homeland. We just don't know if it has fallen into the hands of the fierce ghosts, the gods have been resurrected, but it should not have really awakened yet, the head of the Ryoma family is right, once it awakens, there will be no one in the world who can suppress it. The only thing that can suppress it is the Black Emperor, but the Black Emperor no longer exists in the human world." Tachibana Masamune's voice was low, "Not to mention the black emperor...... It's a devil who is more tyrannical than God, and we can't hope that the devil will help us kill God, right?"

"Patriarch...... No, Mr. Masamune, what are we going to do?" Nanami Sakurai asked, she wasn't used to Tachibana Masamune stepping down as the head of the family.

"Now, do we have any other choice? Wage war against the Demons, uproot them, and dig out those who are behind the scenes! Find it before God awakens, kill it!" Tachibana Masamune's voice was like a bell, "The age of the gods is long over, they should sleep forever in the depths of hell, and they should not be summoned!"

Everyone looked at Yuan Zhisheng, Tachibana Masamune had stepped down as the head of the family, and whether this matter was successful or not was decided by Yuan Zhisheng.

Yuan Zhisheng lowered his head, did not speak, stroked the spider cut on his waist, it pulled out the ancient knife a few inches and pushed it into the sheath, and the sound of the knife echoed in the conference room.

After a while, Gen Zhisheng raised his head and stared directly into Tachibana Masamune's eyes: "Daddy, this will kill a lot of people, and it will also make a lot of people unhappy."

"Yes, there will be many innocent people dragged into our war...... But that's the only way." Tachibana Masamune bowed slightly, "It's come to this, and our time is running out."

Yuan Zhisheng retracted his gaze and was silent for a long time, there was a dead silence in the conference room, the cigarette smoke was wafering in front of the Buddhist shrine, and the candles were burning quietly, occasionally bursting bright candle flowers.

"I agree on behalf of the Gen family, although I am actually the only one in the Gen family." Yuan Zhisheng finally spoke.

"The Storm Demon will swear to follow your horse to the death!" Wind Demon Kotaro stood up and bowed deeply to Genjisheng.

"The Ryoma family will swear to follow your horse to the death!" Ryoma Koichiro followed closely.

"The Miyamoto family will swear to follow your horse to the death!"

"The Sakurai family will swear to follow your horse to the death!"

"The Tachibana family is willing to follow your horse to the death, although I am the only one in the Tachibana family." Tachibana Masamune also stood up.

Everyone turned their attention to the head of the Inuyama family, and in the conference room, except for Genjisheng, only Inuyama was still sitting. Inuyama is always smiling and welcoming on weekdays, but at the moment he sits expressionlessly, as if in deep thought.

"Inuyama-kun!" Wind Demon Kotaro called in a deep voice.

Inuyama He woke up like a dream, slowly got up, walked in front of Gen Zhisheng and bowed deeply: "The Inuyama family will follow behind your horse!"

The heads of the family all had a relieved look on their faces.

"If the head of the Uesugi family is not here, one vote will be forfeited." Yuan Zhisheng glanced at everyone and said lightly, "That envoy from Headmaster Ange made a seven-day covenant with me, and within seven days, we will deal with the fierce ghosts. We have already alarmed the Secret Party, and if they insist on interfering, our situation will be very troublesome, so we must stabilize the messenger of the Principal of Angers, and in addition to this, we must ensure the safety of the three commissioners, and not give the Secret Party a chance to play on the topic."

"With all due respect, it's never a good thing to be an enemy of the Secret Party at this critical time, and I think we should probably seek the help of the Secret Party if necessary." Hearing this, Inuyama raised his head, "Gods are things, and even the priests of the previous generations can't tell clearly. It is different from all the other dragon kings, high and high

Now, we can only guess about it. Hunting a target of this level may be beyond our capabilities."

"Inuyama-kun, you used to be a student of Anges, right? Don't you dare to aim your sword at your teacher? Or do you still have feelings for him?" Tachibana Masamune looked into Inuyama's eyes and said.

"Mr. Masamune doesn't have to be like this." Inuyamaga shook his head, "Probably in the Snake Qi Hachi family, the person who was insulted by Ange the most was me, right? But in the matter of slaying dragons, we are like walking on the edge of a knife, and at this time we should think about how to increase our success rate, because once we fail, the consequences are not something that anyone can bear, and everyone will fall into a catastrophe."

Inuyama's words undoubtedly hit the hearts of some people present, the pressure of "God's" recovery is like a mountain pressing on everyone's hearts, no one can be sure that they will succeed, at this time, every more chance of winning will be one more chance to live, the Genjia Tachibana family and the Uesugi family are left with only one single seedling, and they choose to work hard without burden, but the other five of them are all dragging their families, once they fail, it is not just a matter of one or two lives, providing a success rate, that is, improving the hope of the continuation of the family.

"Working with the Secret Party, or more accurately, with Ange, of course, Ange is the strongest dragon slayer among the living humans, but we need to pay a little price, and that price is called dignity." Tachibana Masamune looked around at the crowd, "Japan has always been the habitat of our people, our homeland, and we don't have to obey anyone's orders. But the arrival of Hilbert Jean Angers changed all that, and since then there have been no more Snake Eight Houses, only the Japanese branch of the Kassel Academy. He may be the greatest dragon slayer in the world, but he is also the one who tramples on our dignity. Now that we have finally regained our freedom, are you going back to be his lackey?"

No one spoke, it was a dilemma, no one liked a foreigner who commanded him from above, joined forces with Ange and had to hand over the family's secrets that had been guarded for thousands of years. But God is waking up, and if they can get the support of the secret party at this critical moment, their risk will be greatly reduced, and life and death are more important than dignity?

"Please think clearly, we have ancient, noble, and violent blood flowing in our veins, and this god-given blood has made us strong, bringing us thousands of A-class bloods, but also countless ghosts. It is clear to all of you that although none of the people in this chamber bear the title of 'ghost', we are more likely to run amok than other half-breeds with stable bloodlines." Tachibana Masamune stood up and paced slowly, "If we offered Ange all the secrets of God, what would he give us in return? I'm afraid it's a dark prison, right? According to the Abrahamic Pact of the Secret Party, each of us may be watched and controlled, except for the child."

"The Secret Party will only see us all as ghosts." Wind Demon Kotaro said.

"That's right, in the eyes of the secret party, it doesn't matter if it's the snake Qi Eight families or the fierce ghosts, and it doesn't matter if the ghosts or the ghosts are slayers, we are all ghosts. Our war with the Demons is just a cannibalism of demons in the same blood." Tachibana Masamune patted the back of Kotaro's chair, "By cooperating with the secret party, it's not just our dignity that is at stake, it's also our future! Ladies and gentlemen, I think now we can vote."

"Mr. Masamune has made the pros and cons very clear, do you still need to vote?" Wind Demon Kotaro looked at Inuyama and said in a deep voice, "What do you say?"

Inuyama took a deep breath, then got up and bowed to Genjisheng, "Totally understood! Inuyama wishes to grow up for everyone, and you and our family will be born and die!"

……

On the streets of Shinjuku Ward, a Chevrolet drives aimlessly, with colorful neon lights outside the window, worthy of the name of Japan's neon country.

The night in Tokyo is bright, the lights of various colors are charming, in this era, it is still the most prosperous city in Asia, Lu Mingfei is silent, concentrating on driving, Eri next to him grabs his left hand, looking at the neon lights outside the car window, his eyes are shining with a novel light.

The car has been quiet all the time, and it is very bright outside, Lu Mingfei has no lights in the car, and he doesn't look at Eri Yi.

It's really strange, Lu Mingfei thought, how did it become like this inexplicably? In all his regards to the future

In my imagination, there is no picture of driving a girl around the streets of Tokyo at night, especially since this girl is still a little mute.

All his plans, all his actions, had to be changed because of this girl's sideways, and all of this can be traced back to Lu Mingze's "gift", a wonderful gift that could make the little mute speak peacefully, so that Lu Mingfei couldn't figure out for a while whether this was a gift for him or a gift for this girl named Eriyi.

Lu Mingfei glanced at Eri Yi, she stared at the backward street scene outside, her eyes couldn't take her eyes off, like a country girl who had never seen the world, but she was not a country girl, she was one of the heads of the eight families of Snake Qi, a real underworld princess, with the power of almost the dragon king's twins, and she could kill people as soon as she opened her mouth. But when she looked at the night city scene in Tokyo, she had a joy in her eyes.

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but feel a move in his heart, remembering the days when he used to look at the brightly lit CBD area on the roof of his uncle's house, and the people who watched the lights were lonely, because none of the countless lights were lit for themselves, but the people who watched the lights were also happy, because they always fantasized that there was a lamp lit for themselves.

Lu Mingfei thought for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Can you sing?"

Eri Yi looked back at Lu Mingfei and tilted her head, which was an expression of doubt. Lu Mingfei was a little embarrassed, realizing that he had asked an inappropriate question, this girl has hardly spoken since she was a child, and singing is such a thing, even if she is willing to speak, there are probably few people in this world who can listen to it.

Lu Mingfei suddenly felt that the left hand that was being held tightened, Eri lowered her head, and hummed a melody, the girl's voice was melodious and clear, and there was a sense of peace and distantness.

It was the theme song of Hayao Miyazaki's movie "Castle in the Sky" (carrying you), Eri hummed the melody softly, incredibly smooth, this girl who rarely had the opportunity to speak, but memorized a song in her heart, familiar enough to hum it.

Lu Mingfei listened quietly and said seriously, "Thank you, it's very good."

Eri Yi looked at Lu Mingfei and nodded, Lu Mingfei took out his left hand from Eri Yi's hand, took out the mobile phone of Xia Mi's "friendship sponsorship", clicked on the music, and played the song "Jun をのせて".

Eri squinted her eyes and listened to the melodious song quietly, her chin tapped with the song, and she seemed to really like the song.

"Like this song?" Lu Mingfei smiled, "I also like this song, but I can't sing it, can you teach me?"

Lu Mingfei took the initiative to stretch out her left hand, Hui Liyi was stunned, and joy rose in her eyes, she carefully held Lu Mingfei's hand, and slowly spoke, with a serious face: "Teacher Hui Liyi will teach you."

Lu Mingfei was also stunned, and then nodded with a smile: "Please teach me Teacher Eriyi."

On this 2011 spring night, in the streets of Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan, a Chevrolet sedan was intertwined with the girl's moving singing voice and the boy's jerky pronunciation, with the light of neon lights shining all along the way.
