Chapter Twenty-Five: Telephone
The speed of the attack was beyond everyone's imagination, and the mobilization for war was launched in the morning, while the general offensive began in the afternoon of the same day.
This kind of efficiency is moving, even if the sphere of influence of the Eight Snake Families has been shrinking under the harassment of the fierce ghosts this year, but after all, it is an ancient existence, and its heritage is still not to be underestimated.
Everyone didn't know why the Eight Snake Families were like crazy and wanted to take the Pavilion of Paradise even at a huge price.
You must know that the Elysium is not only a gambling place, but also a place for countless underground money transactions, this place covering an area of less than 100 miles, not only earns a huge amount of wealth for the fierce ghosts, but also affects the interests of countless people, and is protected by various power figures.
It can be said that today's rash action of the Eight Snake Families will offend at least one-third of Japan's high-ranking officials and dignitaries, but they still did so.
It's not that they don't know the consequences, but they would rather pay for the consequences than take back a person from the hands of the fierce ghosts.
On the top of the mountain, Yuan Zhisheng smoked a cigarette silently, overlooking the prosperous palace comparable to the front of Yuzao, which was full of all kinds of drunken gold fans in the past, as if flowing with human desires.
But now, from gamblers to dealers, everyone is fleeing, even the guards, screaming in despair and roaring in anger one after another, and the gentlemen and ladies of the past have left their demeanor behind, and there is only one thought in their hearts: escape!
No one would have doubted that when dozens of tons of fuel stored in it poured down the hillside, the palace that had just been like heaven and earth would turn into a sea of fire in an instant!
But Gen Zhisheng is not in a hurry to attack, he is waiting, at this moment, if Eri is really in the hands of the fierce ghosts, then negotiation is their only choice.
Soon, he waited for this call:
"Is it the Director of the Operations Bureau, Lord Yuen Zhisheng?" There was a nice male voice on the other end of the phone, not the kind of masculine magnetism, but a feminine style, but not a sissy.
For some reason, Gen Zhisheng heard a trace of longing and hatred in the tone of the other party's speech.
But now that time was pressing, he couldn't think much about it, so he spoke up: "That's right, it's me, who are you from the fierce ghosts?" ”
"Huh." A chuckle came from the other side, as if mocking something, "Under the fierce ghosts of the dragon kings, Ruri Kazama." ”
"Ruri Kazama?" Gen Zhisheng whispered the name of this snake Qi Eight Family's investigation for many years without results, "Then what do you want to say when you call now, how is Eri Eri doing now?" ”
"Don't worry, the owner of the shirt is safe now." Ruri Kazama said, "Now all you have to do is come to the Pavilion of Paradise alone, and I'm sure there will be people you want to meet." ”
"Young master!" As soon as they heard this, the crows and others standing behind Yuan Zhisheng suddenly became anxious.
But Yuan Zhisheng just raised his hand, motioned for them not to speak, and continued into the phone: "Now that you are surrounded, why should I risk entering your territory alone? ”
"If Genji-sama is not at ease, even if you pour the fuel first and then come down after it has been burned, there will still be people waiting for you here." Ruri Kazama said as she looked to the side, "That's all I have to say, I'm looking forward to Genjun's performance." ”
After speaking, Ruri Kazama hung up the phone and looked at the unscrupulous Taoist priest next to him helplessly, "Chen Jun, is this okay?" ”
"Okay, thank you." Chen Zhu put his hands on the sleeves of his robe on the side, and said happily.
Yes, that's right, this call was made by Chen Candle Ruri Kazama, and as for why they got together, it had to start from ten minutes ago.
At that time, Chen Zhu was walking all the way to the Bliss Pavilion, and suddenly felt that a familiar aura was coming in his direction, so he stood in place and waited.
And Ruri Kazama, who was also rushing to the Bliss Pavilion, suddenly found a figure standing on the side of the road in front of him, and looked at it, the young man in the Taoist robe and the white cloth tied his eyes, it was actually Chen Candle!
Suddenly, the alarm bell in Ruri Kazama's mind sounded, he knew the horror of Chen Candle, and the situation of abusing and killing the servant and the king general is still vivid, but why did the other party appear here? Is it to cooperate with the Eight Snake Families to exterminate the fierce ghosts?
Ruri Kazama, who still had a little pale on her face, instantly put her hand on the hilt of the knife, ready to strike at any time.
Compared with Ruri Kazama's nervousness, Chen Zhu looked like he had seen an old friend, and happily came up, standing still about three meters away from Ruri Kazama, "Don't worry, I'm not here to fight." ”
Perhaps sensing that Chen Candle had no malicious intent, Ruri Kazama gradually relaxed, but her hand was still on the hilt, "What does Chen Jun mean?" ”
Chen Candle said: "Help me make a call"
So, the scene just happened just now.
The vision returns to the present.
"Will he come?" Ruri Kazama asked.
Chen Candle scratched his head, and said with some uncertainty: "It should be, although I haven't had much contact, I feel that Lao Yuan's genes are still relatively reckless, and this kind of scene shouldn't scare him." ”
"Huh." Ruri Kazama lowered her head, making it difficult to see her expression clearly, "That's right, he's the righteous and bright Amaterasu, the emperor of the Eight Families of Snakes." ”
Chen Zhu listened to Ruri Kazama's words, and always felt a little resentful in his words, so he asked, "Then again, are you two biological brothers?" ”
Hearing this, Ruri Kazama was shocked, there was no other insider in this matter except for himself and Wang Jiang, how did Chen Candle know about it?
Chen Jun laughed. Ruri Kazama pretended to be calm, "I'm just a demon hiding in hell, how can it be the brother of the emperor like Gen Zhisheng?" ”
"No kidding." Chen Zhu said seriously: "Because I was born with the reason of invisibility, many times I recognize people by feeling. ”
"And the closer the two people are in blood, the more similar it feels to me."
"You know, I've helped people do paternity tests before." Chen Candle looked proud.
"I see?" Ruri Kazama's face was helpless, this blind Taoist priest had such an outrageous intuition, and he could even sense whether others were related by blood, there was really no way.
"Yes, I am brothers with Gen Zhisheng." Ruri Kazama said, "But the bloodline is different, he is the emperor on the high, and I ...... But it's a ghost from hell. ”
"Hmm, because of the stability of the bloodline?" Chen Zhu said, "It seems that many of the half-bloods in the fierce ghosts were also expelled as ghosts because of the instability of their bloodlines in the detection of the Eight Snake Families. ”
"Yes." Ruri Kazama lowered her eyes, hiding her sadness, "But unlike them, I'm a ghost...... In the eyes of others, he has been killed by his brother. ”
"it!" Chen Candle was a little surprised, "Tut-tut, I didn't expect that Yuan Zhisheng, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, can even do it to his own brother." ”
"So I hope Chen Jun will keep it secret for me." Ruri Kazama bent down and bowed.
"Okay, after all, you've just done me a favor, and in exchange, I'll keep this secret for you." Chen Candle nodded in agreement.
"Then thank you Jun Chen." Ruri Kazama said.
However, Chen Candle thought about it, it seems that this Kazama Ruri doesn't know about the existence of Kazama Etsu and Eri Yi, why is this?
It always feels like someone in the middle is hiding all this.
Chen Candle touched his chin, and the guess in his heart became more and more certain, between this snake Qi Eight Family and the fierce ghosts, there must be such a guy, who was secretly manipulating something.
And the status should not be low, Chen Zhu thought.
Ruri Kazama looked at Chen Candle with a thoughtful expression, and did not make a sound, but her eyes kept changing, as if she was making some kind of decision.
"Okay, look at you like this, you're also going to go to the Elysium Pavilion, let's go together." Chen Zhu put away the rest of his thoughts, and now there are too few clues to determine who is behind the scenes.
"Jun Chen." Ruri Kazama suddenly said up, "I have something I want to ask you. ”
