Chapter 619 Luring the Wolf Into the House
silence.
There was a long silence.
Huai Shi's expression twitched, she raised her phone and asked: [I probably understand a little bit, but did you steal some comic settings? 】
"..."
Maki looked away guiltily, "Isn't this convenient for understanding? Anyway, that's pretty much it."
Huaishi thought for a moment and picked up the phone again.
[Chunbyouyou? 】
"No, no!"
This time the voice sounded even more guilty!
"Anyway, in short, it is said that in order to avoid repeating the bloody conflict between the Wu family and the public family decades ago, His Majesty has once again issued a mercy order for living beings, and all ministers are not allowed to kill living beings... If not, people would not dare to go out."
When Maki said this, her expression suddenly darkened: "Unexpectedly, I was still targeted."
Isn't it strange that no one is watching?
Even if the fight between the ministers is restricted and they compete in a proxy war, it only prevents large-scale conflicts above the surface.
All conflicts will be turned into darkness.
Solved in a more brutal and ruthless way.
At the same time, as long as they are not discovered, many people will start to become more crazy in their behavior...
Now that the head of the Satomi family is vacant, countless people have their eyes fixed on that position.
To be able to survive all the way to Kyoto, and still take the Shinkansen to near Nara before encountering an assassin, is already a matter of great luck for who knows how many years.
But thinking about the showdown between kitchen demons as a proxy war...
Huai Shi discovered with horror that she had become a tool man again? But this doesn't seem to be anything scary, he is used to it...
What does the bloody storm in Yingzhou have to do with him?
Miss Huazhi is just a ruthless cooking machine.
While Huai Shi was calmly drinking tea, Satomi Maki blinked, came over and looked at his appearance: "Miss Huai Zhi, you are also a sublime, right?"
【……】
Huai Shi didn't even want to answer.
"Why don't you come with me to Nakajia!"
Satomi Maki grabbed the hand that was holding the tea, and she didn't even mind that the cup was hot. "The Satomi family must be very short of people now. A powerful sublimator like you can definitely make a lot of money!"
"..."
I said, Miss Maki, I am an ascendant with unknown origins, is it really okay for you to just lead the wolf into the house like this?
Besides, I have already been hired by your cousin.
A complete ulterior motive.
You lead the way so smoothly that I feel a little flustered...
Seeing Huai Shi's silent look, her expression gradually became sad: "Can't you?"
【I do not mind. 】
Huai Shi sighed, raised her phone and told her.
Anyway, we have to deal with him later, so why not go in first to see the situation and eliminate the stupid roe deer in front of us. The sooner we eliminate him, the better.
It's best to have no chance of being selected!
Miracles attract each other.
Likewise, so will disaster.
For ordinary people, the farther away from the sublimated person, the safer it is. The higher the level of the stigmata, the greater the distortion it causes to the surroundings.
Don’t you see a lot of fourth-level and fifth-level people running around the border and hell?
In the current situation, once you leave the area where you belong, you will be the subject of key surveillance by the Astronomical Society. Like a criminal wearing an anklet, everyone will feel uncomfortable.
Picking up a tattered book caused countless changes in my life.
As an ordinary person, the deeper Maki Satomi enters the world of the sublime, the more unfortunate her fate will be. She doesn't even have a soul, so she might go crazy inexplicably when she sees something.
Leave the group as soon as possible and be safe soon.
The person who had already become a young man before nodding made up his mind.
"Ah, that's great."
Not knowing what Huaishi was up to, Satomi Maki jumped up excitedly and almost danced.
Occasionally looking at the big sister next to me, I can't hide my inner happiness.
Great, I can spend some time with Miss Huazhi again.
Maki, come on, FIGHT!
Set a small goal first and get the contact information of Miss Huazhi!
Let’s all become good friends together.
In short, my mother who is far away from home, please bless me... I seem to have fallen in love with a woman.
.
The happy alone time didn't last long.
Soon, the silent streets were illuminated by car lights.
The drowsy waiter woke up and looked at the light outside the window. He was stunned to see a dozen expensive luxury cars parked at the entrance of the fast food restaurant.
From the center, a solemn figure stepped out of the extended limousine.
He walked into the store intently and looked around slowly.
The chill spreads.
The waiter stiffened for a moment, mustered up his courage, and asked in a trembling voice: "Uh, guest...do you need anything?"
The visitor did not respond, and his eyes fell on the girl in the corner of the restaurant who was chattering to her indifferent traveling companion.
At the same time, the indifferent traveling companion finally raised his face and looked over.
Despite the visitor's determination, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment in front of that face. At the same time, what emerged was not the exclamation of beauty, but a deep fear.
Huai Shi was also looking at him.
Wearing a black eyepatch over his left eye, the middle-aged man was wearing a long Yingzhou coat that was out of date in this era. He did not have a sword and was barehanded.
But the hands exposed from the cuffs are covered with scars and calluses.
It reminds me of some sharp and heavy weapon.
His expression was solemn.
Maki didn't seem to notice this, and rushed forward with great trust, hugging the visitor's arm, "Uncle Yanjing, are you here to pick me up?"
"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Maki."
Yan Jing's lips curled up into a slight smile, and she finally had an expression, but soon she walked towards Huai Shi.
"I follow the Jian family in Xia Li, and I am quiet in Jiao Village."
The middle-aged man bowed and thanked solemnly: "I have heard the details. Thank you for rescuing Miss Maki..."
It seemed like within a matter of minutes, I figured out what was going on.
He invited: "It's getting late now. If you don't mind, please come to my humble residence to rest for a night. You can also let me wait and express my gratitude."
Huai Shi nodded and stood up.
When they passed each other, their eyebrows were raised slightly.
This man smells of blood...
The fresh smell of death.
Although the Satomi family's territory was in the Tateyama area, it did not extend to today's Nara. But there are still many industries in this central area where famous officials and clans meet and interact.
The motorcade drove outwards in a mighty manner, taking them directly to a Yingzhou-style manor outside the city to settle down.
Along the way, Maki shouted like a village girl and took photos with her mobile phone. She couldn't hide the earthy atmosphere of the countryside at all. Even the servants serving next to him couldn't help but snicker.
On the other hand, when facing Miss Huazhi, I felt as if my head was as big as a bucket and I was trembling with fear.
Because she always seemed to have an expressionless face. She was never surprised by everything in front of her, nor did she have any admiration or appreciation, let alone any envy.
Even when I looked at the courtyard landscape designed and maintained by famous artists and the dinner served by famous chefs, I was not moved at all.
On the contrary, it is exuding some kind of oppression all the time.
There was a faint hint of noble disappointment.
That's it?
Brother, are you kidding me?
Jiaoshan Yanjing accompanied him throughout the whole process, observing quietly in secret, but found that this indifference was not a fake at all. On the contrary, when the dinner was over and he invited the musicians to perform in the hall, he wanted to hear the old man's impression of her, but he heard an unexpected answer from the other party.
"That young lady must be a noble person of great status, right?"
The old musician thought for a moment and replied seriously: "With so many years of experience in serving guests, I can't help but feel trembling. Even when I played for the emperor's envoys and ministers before, I had never felt such pressure. "
The geese in Jiaoshan are silent.
He nodded for a long time, waved for him to go down, then got up and walked towards the small building at the back of the manor.
After passing through numerous verifications, the final paper door opened in front of him.
Behind the door, dim lamps lit the room, illuminating the retainers seated around a long table. The person sitting at the top was Inu Jiang, the old man who was now fully in charge of the affairs of the Uchimi family. When he saw Kakuyama coming in, he waved to him to sit down.
"Excuse me for waiting, I'm late."
Kakuyama sat down at the table and said, "I just brought Miss Maki back, and something happened."
"...Seimei's daughter?"
Kakuyama nodded.
"Is the problem serious?"
Inujiang frowned: "I remember that brat Qinghei was just a daughter. Nothing happened, right?"
"It has been settled."
Kakuyama Yanjing stood up, took a step back, and then knelt down again. Dogezaza apologized: "I leaked the news about Miss Maki. This is my responsibility."
"Forget it, who doesn't want to sit in the position of being the leader? Even the weakest competitor must be eliminated decisively...
Hey, those boys from back then, one or two, have become more presentable. "
Inujiang shook his head coldly, unable to tell whether he was in admiration or contempt.
For Maki, I just sighed in pity.
Maybe you're scared? If Luming Hall hadn't ordered us to summon all the bloodlines, how could she be involved in this?
With the blood of the Wu family, weakness is the original sin.
He has seen too many similar tragedies.
After understanding what happened, Inujie asked: "Have you found out the details about the woman named Waizhi?"
"Not yet. It is said that he is a student of Ivory Tower, but there is always something wrong with him, and it doesn't seem like a chance encounter."
"Whether it is a chance encounter or whether you have ulterior motives, since you are here at the Satomi house, you are a guest of the Satomi house. Don't let others laugh at Satomi's lack of etiquette."
After Inujiang pondered for a moment, he said: "Hot her well, give her a generous gift, and send her away. It's an eventful time now, and it's not convenient for her to stay for a long time."
In the silence, someone suddenly asked: "What if she doesn't leave?"
Inujiang didn't answer again.
What more needs to be answered?
Those who can't be driven away are bad guests...
This topic ends here.
Next came the urgent matters that needed to be sorted out before the heirs arrived.
"Kakuyama, how is the investigation into the murderer's case going?"
