Chapter 22: A Night Encounter
July 5, 2509 A.D
Long Feng and others have been living in this vast embassy for more than a month, and their daily life is to accompany Ambassador Huang everywhere to social gatherings, give speeches, and so on. Relatively speaking, the senior military attache of the embassy did not take his job too seriously in communicating with the new empire in military aspects. The New Empire sent a few middle and high-ranking officers to contact him for a while, and Long Feng used his loose mask to deal with the past, and at the same time paid for these officers of the New Empire to eat and drink a few times, and they became good friends.
In the evening, Long Feng was arrested by those officers again, drinking and having fun together, Long Feng said hello to the above, and followed out alone. Long Feng suddenly found that as his internal strength continued to strengthen, the amount of alcohol gradually improved, and when the seven or eight officers collapsed on the floor of the wine pavilion, Long Feng was still full of energy.
Reluctantly, he called in the soldiers who had been drinking in the hall outside, and helped their commander out, Long Feng declined their kindness to send him back to the embassy, anyway, the distance was not far, and he walked slowly along the avenue alone.
It seems that human beings are really a kind of retro and nostalgic for the ancient style, the new empire has abandoned all the cultural remnants of the old empire, and even the current emperor is a royal family member at that time, and the blood is very thin, but many of his places still reveal the influence of the old empire on the present.
This area is a well-known noble recreation area in the neighborhood, with a five-meter-wide road paved with natural bluestone slabs, a low white fence with black tiled eaves, a deep doorway with dim white lanterns swaying in the wind, and the music of Kabuki is faintly heard in your ears. Occasionally, a few petite women in traditional kimonos and clogs walk by. Long Feng was secretly amused, if you add a few samurai with long knives in their capes, there will really be a little time back, back to the ancient times of the earth, the atmosphere of the old Empire.
It's already winter in the place where Shin Kyoto Star and Amaterasu City are located, and because of the sea, the air is very humid and cold, and the bluestone slabs are covered with a thin layer of mist, faintly reflecting the light of the roadside lanterns, giving off a faint and cold light.
Long Feng strode out of the leisure area where most of the people who came were members of the nearby embassy, and the architectural style in front of him had changed, it was a completely modern building complex, and the whole sky was brightly lit by the bright white lights, only the gaps between the buildings were still so dim.
Because it is a place where foreign embassies in the New Empire are dense, it is already more than 9 o'clock in the evening, so there are not many people on the street, and those tall figures in the distance are the police of the New Empire to maintain law and order.
As Long Feng passed through a wide, cul-de-sac between the walls of the American and Indian embassies, a subtle, deliberately suppressed, pretending to be mysterious, and a terrifying voice came from inside: "Hey, hey, young man, come here." β
Long Feng stopped coldly and turned his head to look at the alley on the left. In the depths of the alley, about fifteen meters away from Long Feng, there was a small white lantern hanging on a small square table, and a man wearing a black cloak with a hood covering his head was greeting Long Feng. Long Feng shook his head, raised his feet and was about to leave.
The man was in a hurry, and complained in a deliberately low voice: "Eh, young man, you really don't like words, on such a cold day, you let me set up a stall here, do you want to go? β
The corners of Long Feng's mouth turned up slightly, he had seen a diviner who pretended to be a ghost, and it was rare for him to ask for money so directly. Very interested, he walked over, sat down at the small square table, smiled and said, "My money can't be given to you for nothing, but you can tell me what service you can give me." β
The man in black said dissatisfiedly, "Why do you say so ambiguous......? What kind of service do you want? Fortune, fortune, or will you be hit by a beautiful woman jumping off the stairs tomorrow? β
Long Feng swallowed his saliva dryly, such a diviner, it is estimated that no one wants to do business with him. Long Feng took out a large banknote, gently put it on the table, shook his head and said, "It's really cold, if your body can't stand it, go home early and rest." Although the security here is good, you also know that there are many people in your country who like to drink, and there are more people who drink too much and make more trouble, so it's so late, so go back early. "Stand up and leave.
The man in black hurriedly stood up, stretched out his hand and grabbed the placket of Long Feng's clothes, shook his head again and again, and said, "Eh, eh, wait a minute, I haven't calculated it for you yet, can you be modest? Long Feng's heart moved, the man in black unconsciously exposed his true voice, and at the same time, the hand that grabbed his shirt was about the same as that of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, and it would definitely not be the hand of the old man she claimed to be.
Long Feng sat down funny, stared at the person shrouded in darkness tightly, and said slowly: "Little girl, take off your hood, find someone to play fairy tales, and don't be too fascinated." β
The man was stunned, and threw the hood of his cloak behind his head, revealing a very mischievous and pretty face. The short hair was beating mischievously in the wind, the face was covered with light makeup, and the two big black eyes looked at Long Feng viciously and said, "Stinky boy, I am indeed much older than you, listen to me honestly before walking." Otherwise, I won't be able to spare you. β
Long Feng smiled slightly and nodded silently. It's only 100 meters away from the embassy, and if there is any problem, it is instantaneous, so there is nothing to worry about.
The little girl thought about it for a long time, muttered for a while, and then said slowly, "Have you thought about what you want to do?
Long Feng frowned and asked her, "Yu Wang? What is that?"
The little girl's eyes rolled around mischievously and said, "Well, well, well, that's what you want to do the most." That is, the darkest part of your heart, have you ever suddenly wanted to kill someone, wanted to rape a woman, wanted to use a cannon to blast at a person?"
Long Feng looked at this innocent-faced little girl dumbfounded, shook his head and said, "You, are you okay? What do you want to say? I don't understand well. I don't have the thoughts you're talking about, and though I do want to kill certain creatures sometimes, I've never had a particularly strong urge. β
The little girl held her chin with both hands, leaned against the table, blinked her big eyes at Long Feng's face a few times, and suddenly laughed and said, "Did anyone say that you look like a special person?"
Long Feng subconsciously shook his head. At the same time, I was shocked in my heart, remembering the chick who almost killed me with a finger.
The little girl in front of her said for a long time: "No, then forget it, anyway, you tell me, do you have some kind of special zhan desire, desire to conquer and, desire to destroy?"
Long Feng shook his head indifferently.
The little girl pursed her lips, turned out a crystal ball from under the table, and quickly urged Long Feng to say, "Come, put your hand on this, and see what you don't understand, the most real Yu Wang." Long Feng's whole body did not move, and he said coldly: "My greatest wish is to ...... for the strength of the motherland."
The little girl interrupted him impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense, these are what you have been taught since childhood, of course you think so." I'm not against how you are, but to see what your truest thoughts are...... Well, don't worry, put your hands up, if you really want to hurt you, you will be knocked away a long time ago. β
Long Feng's eyes opened suddenly, as if the cold light of substance pierced the little girl's eyes.
The little girl seemed to be blind at all, and she didn't pay attention to Long Feng's eyes that could make ordinary people afraid, and urged: "Hand...... Put it up, hurry. β
Long Feng put away the divine light in his eyes and slowly put his right hand on the crystal ball. The little girl began to chant a string of strange syllables, and the voice slowly merged with the whole environment, and Long Feng's spirit, which could be said to be stronger than cemented carbide, was confused, and indulged in it.
In an instant, Long Feng suddenly woke up, and the little girl yawned on the other side and said, "Eh, it's still the same, I thought you could really be a good person, and it seems that you are also a bastard material." Well, don't look at me, I'm not scolding you, I'm just commenting on you. β
Long Feng looked at his watch, and the short time he lost his mind just now was only seven or eight seconds.
Long Feng was silent for a while, then slowly stood up and said, "If nothing else, I'm leaving." β
The little girl snorted a few times and said, "Go, go...... Hmph, don't think it's a waste of time, I'm for your own good, think about it yourself, whether you want to be your true self or wear a mask like this. Although you still don't understand what exactly you want to do...... Hmph, I'm tired too, go home and sleep, you say goodbye......"
Long Feng nodded, a little surprised that this little girl was able to let her spirit fall down, and she didn't want to cause too much trouble, so she strode out. When they were still young, their precept was to never touch things that they were absolutely unable to solve alone. Therefore, Long Feng's first thought was to leave here, which was also the one that reason thought was the most suitable after analyzing several different options, such as killing this little girl and capturing her alive.
The little girl threw a sentence at the back: "Pay attention to yourself, figure yourself out as soon as possible, otherwise, when others come to the door, you will be miserable." Long Feng didn't speak, and strode towards the door of the embassy, but his mind was blurry, and he had forgotten everything that had just happened, except for the missing bill in his wallet......
Several human bodies with distorted space around the body appeared beside the little girl. A hoarse voice asked, "Why don't you just let him see his heart?"
The little girl was stupid in her seat, and suddenly slapped the table fiercely: "I forgot the spell, and I didn't want to use the Soul Eater in the end, but I suddenly activated the power of this damn crystal ball." When you think about this, you lose all face, go back and throw yourself into the puddle and soak for three days. Hum...... I went home and went to sleep, and after a busy day, I used money to buy these clothes. β
The three policemen of the New Empire slowly walked into the alley, and one of them shouted and asked, "Who are you and what are you doing here......?" Ah~~~~~~h
A figure suddenly appeared beside them, its long claws quickly grabbing their hearts, and then pointed at their foreheads, and the violent energy flow instantly disintegrated their bodies.
The little girl pursed her lips and scolded: "The bloody three pieces, do you still want to bring them back?"
The figure who shot hurriedly said respectfully: "Recently, there is a lack of human hearts, and there is no fresh goods, so I just brought it back to feed my pet." β
Silently, these people slowly disappeared...... A gust of wind blew and rolled up the bill on the table, which suddenly shattered and disappeared with the wind like the table and the two chairs. A strong flash of electricity flashed, and the monitors on the roofs of nearby buildings were all damaged by explosions, and a powerful electric current entered the core of the surveillance system along the wires, destroying all the key components, and no one knew what happened at night......
Early in the morning, Long Feng got up from the bed, shook his sore head, and told himself that he could no longer fight with those officers of the new empire, he had always been in a very good physical condition, but he probably drank too much yesterday, and now his head began to hurt.
Sitting cross-legged on the balcony, facing the sun coming out of the west, Long Feng began his routine homework every morning, and after taking a long breath, he slowly entered the realm of forgetting things and me. I don't know why, but it was dimly visible to the naked eye, and a trace of red energy quickly merged into Long Feng's body. According to Long Ao, it will take at least five years for Long Feng to reach such a level.
At this time, Ambassador Huang was receiving several officials of the New Empire who had come early in the morning to invite the Chinese embassy officials to attend the evening snow appreciation party in the Emperor's palace. According to the calculations of the giant computer, around 7:33 p.m., there will be a heavy snow falling, which will last for more than three days, and the intensity is very high, which is just the time for drinking and enjoying the fun.
Ambassador Huang smiled and agreed, sent the people away, and began to order the people to prepare the gifts they were used to bringing.
On the evening of July 6, 2509 A.D
Ambassador Huang, several senior secretaries, and military attachΓ©s led by Long Feng rode in a convoy to the east of Amaterasu City, covering an area of more than 2,000 acres.
The few guests in the traditional bungalow sit cross-legged and look at the pond with countless gorgeous carp outside the wide open wooden lattice door, quietly waiting for the heavy snow to come.
A group of waiters respectfully held ancient brushes, rice paper and other items next to them.
The ambassadors of several other countries showed embarrassed looks on their faces, but Ambassador Huang was a little eager to try. Because of cultural differences, it is impossible for other ambassadors to make eye-catching poems, but Ambassador Huang is very famous.
The snow finally fell one after another, silently blending into the big pond in front of you.
The handsome chamberlains came up with a small stove, a small pot, stewed tofu, and a saucer, followed by a pot of boiled sake.
The current emperor of the New Empire, who looked to be about 100 years old, smiled and said, "Everyone, please, please, please." In such weather, everyone can get together, drink delicious wine, eat delicious tofu, and then recite poems to do the right thing, which is really the greatest joy in life. The crowd shouted in unison in line with the compliment.
Long Feng didn't know how to compose poetry, so he simply put the main target of the attack on the white and tender tofu in front of him, which trembled slightly in the turquoise soup. The dragon rage and dragon storm are the best sake on the table with a big gulp, which is much better than the goods outside, if you don't drink it for nothing, why bother to cheapen the people of the new empire.
Over there, a dozen people who could link sentences were getting more and more interested, and the ambassadors of Russia and the United States were awkwardly accompanying them out of politeness, and could not interject a word.
Long Feng and the others drank too much and had too much water in their stomachs, so they recruited two young chamberlains and took them to the bathroom.
Walking along the wooden corridor, the snow fell silently from the black sky, and a small sound was heard.
Several attendants respectfully bent down and walked over with an old man from the other side of the corridor, and the three of Long Feng, Dragon Storm, and Dragon Fu immediately felt the powerful momentum of the old man.
Long Feng gently stepped forward a few steps, bowed slightly to the old man, and asked very politely: "Excuse me, this old gentleman has an extraordinary bearing, is it ......?"
The old man showed a hint of a smile, nodded at Long Feng, and the attendant next to him said respectfully: "This is the most famous couplet master in our empire, Mr. Onizuka." His Danqing ink painting is also famous throughout the country. β
The old man of Onizuka walked towards the hall of the party under the leadership of the chamberlain, and the three of them exchanged glances and showed a strange smile.
In the bathroom, Long Feng asked lightly: "Mr. Onizuka just now, it seems that he is a master." β
Long Storm nodded and agreed: "Yes, at such an old age, and still so energetic, it's rare." β
For the first time in Long Feng's heart, the idea of challenging a person came to him, and the thought was so strong that Long Feng himself was startled, as if he had to kill the Onitsuka by the most cruel means to let this flame subside. Long Feng's heart was slightly burned and ached, and the cold light in his eyes flashed.
