Chapter 2 Dongzhou Spiritual Realm
It takes five hours to get from Newport Airport to Tokyo's Haneda Airport, and the University of Phoenix has partnered with Newport Airport to allow members of the Student Council to enjoy a separate cabin in the cargo hold, a secluded luxury room with a fully soundproofed structure that is convenient for the mindless.
Bai Maxiao was very disappointed in Fez, and the highest law enforcement agency in the spiritual world actually gave him a ticket in economy class, which was shabby.
Although it was good for a fugitive to be on a plane, Bai Maxiao always felt like he was being fed. Fortunately, Nie Jianfeng and Tranquility invited them to the Spirit Cabin.
Although this room is in the warehouse, the internal facilities are very luxurious, more complete than the first class, and it is also very spacious, with three long sofas around a large square table in the middle, enough for the five of them to sleep in it.
For Luo Yong's death, Ning Ning had known for a long time, but Bai Ma Xiao was worried that Nie Jianfeng would make trouble, but Nie Jian Feng actually heard Fu Jiansheng mention this matter, and also knew about the existence of the Snake God Sect and the fact that Bai Ma Xiao was framed, which made Bai Ma Xiao very surprised.
"Then the whole school won't know about it now, will it?"
"At the moment only our seventh group knows, not even the first group. Nie Jianfeng said.
Tranquility thought that Bai Ma Xiao would care about his student status, and hurriedly explained, "But don't worry, although Principal Long doesn't know about this, he hasn't expelled your student status." The current narrative in the school is that you are still innocent until you are arrested and confessed. ”
"What do you mean by 'still innocent'? I'm innocent!" Bai Ma Xiao said with a headache, Luo Yong's death was enough to make him upset, and now he is still wanted by the whole spirit world, I really don't know when it will be.
"That's just a few of us know, and who knows that you're innocent of the unsuspecting masses, but the people in the first group seem to be on your side. Tranquility said.
Group 1...... Bai Maxiao thought of Mo Qi, she didn't misunderstand herself, and it was a thing to be happy about.
Seeing his confused look on the future, Tranquility said with some schadenfreude, "But you'd better pray that you can take the make-up exam after the year, otherwise you will be sure to repeat the grade." ”
"Retake the exam?"
"We both took the final exams during your disappearance, but you didn't take them, so you missed them. ”
Looking at Tranquility's eyebrows, Bai Maxiao said calmly, "I'm sorry, I've never cared about grades since junior high school." It's good to study abroad, including food and accommodation, and beautiful schoolgirls to see, I don't want to ......"
Speaking of this, the lower half of Shiratori Ling stepped on the top of his feet, and the upper body wrapped around his arm, looking loving.
Bai Maxiao felt the intersection of joy and sorrow, and his expression of crying and laughing was like eating a fly that tasted good.
Such an expression seemed to Ning Jing to be stunned, and he immediately grabbed Nie Jianfeng's arm, with an expression of "Who doesn't have an object?", these four showed affection for each other, completely ignoring the feelings of the sword sound on the side.
At this time, Jian Yin kept playing with the tablet without saying a word, as if everything that happened in this room had nothing to do with her.
Nie Jianfeng didn't resist Tranquility's intimacy as much as he did at the beginning, but his personality didn't like to be so crooked, so he immediately said with a serious face, "Let's get down to business." Hakuba, do you know Japan?"
Hakuba Shino thought for a while, "Of course I understand, Japan has anime, kimono, bushido, and **......"
Tranquility scolded, "It's not these things from the living world, you obscene monster!" he said and stuck out his tongue in disdain.
Nie Jianfeng ignored the daily nonsense of the two, and continued, "Japan's spirit world is different from the spirit world of other countries, it is the only country that has not joined the UG, and it has complete autonomy, so there is no systematic ghost suppression organization, and it is completely maintained by their ancient ghost suppression organization, that is, the Juhe Association, which you are familiar with." ”
It's not just familiar, some time ago at Phoenix University, Hakuma Shino also personally killed Akai Ibuki, one of the seven samurai of the Ihekai Spirit Sword. I don't know if I will be chased and slashed by people from the community with knives in the streets when I go to Japan.
I thought that Nie Jianfeng would give him a great popularization of knowledge in the Japanese spiritual world, but I didn't expect that he would be all about it by now.
"You know that?" said Hakuma Xiao disdainfully.
The tranquility of the Ten Thousand Years Protector was immediately online, and he replied, "You guy at the tail of the crane, don't you know anything?"
As soon as she finished saying this, Shiratori Ling put her hand heavily on the table and looked at Tranquility with a smile.
Tranquility had been taught by her once in the Elite House before, and she had felt her awesomeness, but at this time, she was so frightened that she immediately obediently retracted to Nie Jianfeng's side, not daring to laugh at Bai Maxiao again.
It seems that when it comes to protecting her boyfriend, Shiratori Ling is more professional than Tranquility.
This little episode was instantly brought by Shiratori Ling's natural answer, "I know a little about the Japanese spirit world. ”
Everyone couldn't help but get closer, although they could hear it clearly before, and even the sound of the sword, which had been silent, couldn't help but listen.
"Because the Japanese spirit world is not a member of the UG, it is generally not called a country, but is called the 'Dongzhou spirit world', where the rules of the spirit world do not apply, so it is called a place of freedom for the spirits. Because it's so free, it's also called the 'Goblin Lawless Zone'. The main area of activity of the Dongzhou Spirit Realm is in Tokyo, and the supernatural creatures in the rest of the places are either sent to Tokyo or exterminated on the spot. In the Dongzhou Spirit Realm, human ghosts are called 'ghost people', while non-human ghosts are called 'ghosts'. There are 23 wards in the living world in Tokyo, and in each of these 23 wards, the spirit world has a street dedicated to the inhabitants of the oni, which they call 'Reicho'. Underneath Tokyo, there is the '24th Ward', which is usually inhabited by ghosts, but sometimes some of the exiled ghosts are confined to the 24th Ward and used as a place of exile. ”
"Wait a minute, how do you know so much?" asked Hakuba Shino strangely. Because the white bird Ling who knew before was obviously locked in the attic, the amnesiac girl who had been autistic for thirty-three years, how could it be as if she was possessed by his soul companion in a blink of an eye, and became an encyclopedia of the spiritual world?
Bai Bird Ling didn't blame, and said patiently, "Have you forgotten that I also watch the news of the spirit world?"
Bai Maxiao then remembered that the last time she was at Lukou Airport in Nanjing, she did use a USB flash drive-like thing to connect to the TV and watch the news of the spiritual world. Scratching his head embarrassedly, he spread his hand and motioned for her to continue.
"And the one who controls the 23rd ward of Tokyo, as well as the 24th ward, is the Juaikai, as you all know. The association is divided into five major families, namely the Shoken Ryugenji, the Leaping Sword Ryu Akai, the Oni Sword Ryu Black Feather, the Flying Sword Ryuki Village, and the Spirit Sword Ryu Shiratori. Among them, Genji is in charge of Reicho, which is in charge of the seven wards of Tokyo, while the remaining sixteen wards are equally divided among the remaining four families. ”
"Genji, I know, that guy named Minase Sutra, very dragging. Hakuma Xiao interjected.
"Minamoto is the eldest son of Yoshihiro Minamoto, the head of the Genji family, and the current de facto ruler. ”
Tranquility exclaimed, "It turns out that the Residency Association has such a lot of power, I always thought that they were just a Japanese ghost suppression organization, the same as Phoenix University, but I didn't expect to be the one in control." ”
White Bird Ling nodded and said, "The history of the Harmony in the Spirit Realm of Dongzhou is very long, and it was founded by Bai Ma Fei, who they called the God of Spirits. It's been almost 400 years now. ”
Speaking of Bai Ma Fei, everyone looked at Bai Ma Xiao together, although they didn't know that Bai Ma Xiao was Bai Ma Fei's soul co-owner, but the white horse family's psychic blood is in the same line, and Bai Ma Xiao is naturally Bai Ma Fei's descendant, which is a well-known thing.
Looking at their eyes, Bai Maxiao said a little uncomfortably, "What do you see, that was four hundred years ago, how can my bloodline add points in front of them now?"
On the contrary, the gimmick of "descendants of the founder" does not have any effect except feelings.
"So, Minase Jing, the ruler of the Iaikai, is the king of Japan?"
However, this sentence made everyone stunned, everyone knows that there is an emperor in Japan, and he calls himself the emperor, and no one will think of the word "king". Moreover, the Dongzhou Spiritual Realm and Japan are essentially two concepts.
But although the wording was a bit strange, no one cared, and they all thought it was just a slip of the tongue. Bai Bird Ling shook his head, "There is an emperor in the Dongzhou Spirit Realm, and he is also the only Spirit Realm emperor in the entire Spirit Realm, but he has never disclosed his identity, so no one knows who he is." In the living world, he might even be just a small clerk. ”
This man is an office worker on the surface, but he is the emperor behind the scenes?
Bai Maxiao asked, "In other words, the gang of people in the Juhe Association are still under the orders of that Spirit Emperor?"
"Although this is the case, the Juhe Society is not a monopoly in the Dongzhou Spirit Realm, and legend has it that there is an organization that directly obeys the emperor's orders, called the 'Emperor Spirit Society', which has been checking and balancing the power of the Juhe Society. However, no one knows who the members of the Imperial Spirit Sect are and who the leader is, but there is indeed such an organization that often controls the fate of the Dongzhou Spirit Realm. ”
After listening to this set of power structures, everyone sighed that this Dongzhou Spirit World is really different from the spirit world of other countries, this power relationship is a bit complicated, and there is actually an emperor of the Spirit World, this Dongzhou Spirit World is like a dictatorship, no wonder I have to join UG. Once you join the UG, it means that the dictatorship has been interfered with, which is a fatal obstacle to the imperial power.
Everyone digested the structures, and listened to Hakuba Shino for a while, and it didn't take long for the plane to arrive at Haneda Airport.
When I walked through the exit passage, in addition to the security personnel, there were many people in black suits and black sunglasses at the end, and they used their watches to scan the passengers who were hurrying out of the station.
"Japan is different, there are still people who wear suits for inspection, and they are like agents. Bai Maxiao sighed.
Tranquility has been to Japan a few times and said strangely, "It's strange, there were no such people here before." ”
But the black suit was only scanned with a watch, and no other inspections were performed. But when it was the turn of the five of them, they reacted.
The black suit at the head said in fluent Chinese, "Please go this way." ”
They were forcibly taken away from the crowd by two black suits and walked through another passage.
Hakuma asked strangely, "What's the matter? Which of you brought contraband to Japan to make extra money?"
Nie Jianfeng whispered, "As soon as they opened their mouths, they spoke Chinese, probably for the spirits. ”
"What's wrong with speaking Chinese?"
Tranquility sighed habitually and explained, "The international lingua franca of the living world is English. And the lingua franca of the spiritual world is Chinese. If they are ordinary security personnel, they will speak English first, without knowing our nationality. On the other hand, if it is a spirit person......"
Nie Jianfeng said vigilantly, "I'm just afraid, the person who comes is not good." ”
