Chapter 146: The True King
Life in Tokyo is business as usual, and no one knows that a major war is going on underneath Tokyo for the safety of the world.
An inconspicuous sushi restaurant in Minato Ward, which has become even more unpopular due to the brutal beheading incident some time ago, has recently gotten rid of its position as a "crime scene" and returned to business, but almost no one dares to come.
Although most of the people who usually come here are ghost people who have temporary residence permits in the living world, the spirit world has been very unpeaceful recently, and even the ghost people don't come to patronize it now.
Gen Shenying died in his shop, and the Juhe Society naturally invited him to drink tea for several days, and now he is happy to be idle.
"The Shinguchi Group will sign a cooperation treaty with the Toyama Group in the near future, but I wonder what kind of impact the signing of this contract will have on the violence in recent days, and whether it will reduce the occurrence of violence or further catalyze it."
Listening to the news narrated on the TV on the counter, he sneered and muttered to himself, "The living world is not peaceful. This is something big happening lately. ”
The welcome bell rang at the entrance door of the "Jingle Bell ......" for the first time in a while, but instead of being happy, he felt like he had been disturbed by his vacation.
"What do you want to eat?" he said, stepping into the back of the table, waiting for the customer's order, without looking up at the man.
"Salmon Roe Frigate Sushi. ”
Hearing this familiar voice, the movement of his hand stopped, and he looked up at her.
At a hurried glance, he saw her slightly sad low eyebrows, tired apricot eyes, no pleasant corners of her mouth, slightly casual dress, and a cold and cruel black cloth on her arm.
He didn't speak, quietly finished his work, served the sushi to the waiting table, and then said seemingly casually, "That thing...... It's been a while in the past, and that black cloth could have been taken off, and I've been wearing it for fear of misunderstanding?"
"My father died. ”
He froze as she took the sushi and placed it on the bar just across from him.
"I'm sorry. He said apologetically.
"You know what's going on, you know?"
"I don't know, but I know it's not peaceful. Watching her carefully taste the sushi he made, as quiet as before, "There will be such a big thing in the Oriental Union, are you okay?"
"I've always been by His Majesty's side, and I'll be fine. Gen Yinlan gave him a wry smile, picked up the sushi, and dipped it in the soy sauce in the dipping saucer, which had an empty compartment in this multi-compartment dipping saucer, where wasabi is usually placed, "You remember that I hate wasabi the most." ”
"Yin Lan...... Miss Yuan, or...... Shall I call you Miss Takahashi?"
"The name Takahashi Hidden Arashi is just a deception to outsiders, you and I don't want to be so polite, Hiraoka. ”
Takenosuke Hiraoka sneered and said, "I have no friendship with you. ”
"I know you're still blaming me for not leaving here with you. But this time, I'm here to take you back to the old days. ”
There was obviously a trace of fluctuation on Hiraoka's face, but he was forcibly suppressed, and said calmly, "Why, your father came to me as soon as he left? It seems that you have always had me in your heart, and I am really touched." ”
"You are mistaken, our relationship is gone, there is no future, and there is no past. When I say once, I am talking about your own past. ”
"What do you mean?"
"I'm going to take you back and be the king of ghosts. ”
"Oh, madman. Hiraoka didn't say anything more to her, turned around and was about to leave, "The restaurant is closed, leave quickly after eating......"
"The Fourth Spirit War has begun. Looking at his suddenly frozen back, Yuan Yinlan said playfully, "And it has entered the white-hot stage." ”
The sense of foreboding that had been going on for days was finally confirmed, and he felt that something big had happened in Dongzhou, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.
Just as he was pondering there motionlessly, Yuan Yinlan added, "Don't worry, it's not those old friends and subordinates of yours. ”
He immediately turned around and said in disbelief, "Who is that?
"An outsider. You've heard of it, Himiko. ”
Hearing that it was an outsider, Hiraoka's heart relaxed a lot, but when he heard that it was Himiko, his heart rose again, "Inuyama...... He still succeeded. ”
Dozens of days ago, it was here that Yutaro Inuyama killed the brother of the woman in front of him and told him that he would welcome back Queen Himiko and revive Yamadai. Now it seems that the legendary queen has really come back to life and returned to her homeland to start the fourth ghost war.
"So your choice? Himiko or Your Majesty. ”
Hiraoka knew that this was the purpose of her coming here, and slowly shook her head, "Whoever rules is the same for the ghost people. Why should I let them take this risk?"
"Is it the same? What kind of oppression and slavery do we have to the ghost people?" Yuan Yinlan smiled self-deprecatingly, and then snorted coldly, "Then how did Himiko treat them? Turn them into inhuman zombies, use them as cannon fodder for war, and even use the ghost people as a tool for fun!"
Before Hiraoka could finish listening to her words, he was already bloody, and he angrily smashed a table in front of him, "What did you say?!"
"I'm not lying to you, you know the recent plague in Nerima District, right? It was created by the shogunate to cover up the zombies. We have come to persuade you to join, and Namiko has turned your people into war machines with this despicable means, and now we are not seeking your help, but to inform you that your people need your protection, Mr. Miyo Miko. ”
Hiraoka pulled out a chair with a solemn expression, sat down, and looked at each other from a short distance in this sushi restaurant full of empty seats, "But I've been away from Lingcho for too long, will they still recognize me as a ghost king?"
Yuan Yinlan smiled and said, "That's why we thought of you. You are different from the first two ghost kings, they rely on the evil ghost fun to threaten the ghost people to obey them, only you, is the real 300,000 ghost people to obey you, and only you, is the representative of the ghost people's public opinion, they are just dictatorial thugs, you are the real ghost king.
”
In the face of her flattery, Hiraoka did not show joy, "But that was a long time ago. ”
"You don't know yet, do you? Your story is still being passed down among the ghosts, and you're still their spiritual leader. I would even go so far as to say that they are definitely waiting for you in this darkest hour, waiting for you to come back and save them from the dire straits. ”
Her words were very inspiring, and Hiraoka could already imagine the calls and prayers of those ghost people, and turned his heart sideways, "Okay, I'll go back with you and convince the ghost people to join you." But you also said that Himiko can turn ghosts into zombies, even if I ......"
Gen Yin Lan knew his concerns, which was why they closed the pillars, "We have closed the enchantment. ”
Hiraoka was stunned, "What enchantment?"
"Dongzhou's Continent Protection Array. ”
"Are you crazy!" Hiraoka became more excited than when he heard that the demons were being tortured and killed, "If we fail, not only Higashisu, but also Tokyo, and even the whole of Japan, will be shrouded in the threat of Himiko!"
When Yuan Yinlan heard the news, she was more excited than him, these family heads took advantage of the Spirit Emperor's injury and coma to make such an unbelievable decision, she, like him, couldn't understand it, but had to admit that this was their only choice.
Generals vs. generals, there is no spirit in the entire Eastern Continent who can defeat Himiko and Morui. And soldier against soldier, the samurai under their command, plus those shogunate samurai, are no match for the demon puppets at all. A war of complete inferiority, they can only risk betting.
Gen Yinlan explained to him Hakuba Shino's central flowering tactic, "I thought your focus would be on how we closed the enchantment. ”
"yes......" Hiraoka was stunned for a moment, "how did you do that?"
"The reincarnation of the White Horse Fei's Soul Co-Unit, the Spirit God, was closed by him personally. This is also the plan he came up with. He is now our commander-in-chief. ”
Now Hiraoka didn't have any dissatisfaction, only worries about the future. He slowly sat back down, "It seems that you are ready. ”
Yuan Yinlan put down her chopsticks, slowly paced behind him from the bar, and put her hands on his shoulders, "So, we are fighting against the water, and we must win." ”
Hiraoka took the hand on his shoulder and said confusedly, "But...... According to your plan, even if I go back and issue the call now, it will be too late. By the time all the demons arrived, and all of them were wearing zombie makeup, Himiko had already reacted. ”
"No, the ghost folk are all ready. We've dispersed our troops to the corners of the seventeen districts, gathered the fleeing ghosts from each district, and painted them up so that they can take part in the siege at your command. ”
"How did you ......?"
Yuan Yinlan knew that he was strange and how the Juhe Association contacted these ghost people, "Do you remember how you ordered those ghost people during the Third Spirit and Ghost War?"
Hiraoka muttered, "I used the Oni Folk Mind Transmission Technique. ”
"Remember who created it?"
"It's White Horse. The spiritual technique he created when he created the Dongzhou Spirit Realm was convenient for him to connect with ghosts. ”
"So...... His Soul Bearers can do the same. ”
Hiraoka suddenly realized, vaguely feeling that this time the war seemed to have Bai Mafei's personal help, which was enough to make him feel a lot more at ease, but he still asked curiously, "Then what did he say, let those ghost people be obediently dressed up as zombies by you?"
Yuan Yinlan pursed her lips slightly, as if she was holding back a smile, "Clearance big reward." ”
Hiraoka was stunned, "What?"
She still couldn't hold back and laughed, "This is also what that Bai Maxiao came up with, every ghost who wears makeup can receive blood food ......on the spot," she said, she playfully stretched out two fingers, "Two bags!"
At this time, Hiraoka laughed with her, and the tension of the war was swept away, "This person is really funny, if the war is over, we are all still alive, I really want to meet him." ”
