Chapter 355 Tachibana Masamune King Herzog
The cargo elevator descended slowly, carrying two guests, each weighing several tons, from the "ξ" floor of Genji Heavy Industries to the thirtieth floor.
"The conversation with Eriki... wasn't that pleasant?" Minamoto asked in a low voice.
He noticed that Lu Mingfei's expression was a little strange, and it had been like this since he came out of Uesugi Eriki's room.
"No..." The more Lu Mingfei thought about it, the more embarrassed he became. He covered his face and sighed helplessly, "I can only say that what I did back then caused a bad impression and guidance on her. The handling of things here After that, I have to reshape her into normal and correct thoughts and behaviors...it may not be easy."
Yuan Zhennu nodded in understanding.
"Also, why didn't you go in and try to communicate with your sister just now? His Majesty the Emperor once said that changes in the body's genes do not mean that we are no longer human beings. The emotions we have are important for us to still be human beings. support."
"I... I'm not ready yet. I don't know how to tell her." Yuan Zhinv whispered.
He had never been in contact with Eriki before, but he felt very disgusted with Eriki; he thought that her brother Yuan Zhisheng had used her to replace him, and he used to pamper that girl to relieve his guilt. But in the end, they are all brothers and sisters from the same origin.
Although he has now put aside these childish thoughts after surgery and ideological transformation, he still feels that he is not ready to face his sister.
"It's okay, you still have plenty of time."
"Can you answer my question, Mr. Lu? Why is Eriyi the girl's younger sister? I have no blood relationship with Eriyi, she is just..."
Standing in the corner of the elevator, Yuan Zhisheng finally couldn't help but speak, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Yuan Zhisheng:
"Don't worry, brother, all the answers will be revealed next."
"Indeed, you should be mentally prepared to accept everything, so that your emotional fluctuations will not be too strong later." Lu Mingfei said.
There was a strong vibration. The bright red numbers on the indicator board indicated that the cargo elevator had reached the 30th floor. The wide elevator doors opened to both sides. Minamoto's assistant Yabuki Sakura had been waiting for a long time.
Before Yuan Zhisheng could react, Lu Mingfei and Yuan Zhisheng stepped out of the elevator first. Without Ying's guidance, the two of them walked on the familiar road by themselves. Yuan Zhisheng, who was confused, could only follow quickly. them.
The 30th floor of Genji Heavy Industries was decorated in a soft Japanese style. It was the strategic department of the Sheqi Eight Families. Sakura quickly ran to the front and opened a sliding door for Lu Mingfei.
Behind the sliding door is a spacious room. The interior decoration is in the style of a Japanese Shinto temple. The granite walls are carved with various ghosts and gods in Shintoism, from the solemn Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi to the mighty Susanoo. , there are also vicious demons and ghosts, some with lion-like faces and exposed fangs, and some sitting cross-legged on piles of skeletons. The wind and clouds surround these gods and demons, making people shudder like a hundred ghosts walking in the night.
But now, even if they gain life and can break out of the wall, they will not bring any fear to the outside world; because they will only be mercilessly crushed by the two steel giants who step into the room.
In front of a large stone table with a circular Tai Chi pattern in black and white, the heads of the eight Sheqi families waiting here stood up and bowed to Lu Mingfei.
Previously, in the open space outdoors, Lu Mingfei and the metal armor he wore only made people feel very tall; now indoors, they personally felt the strong sense of oppression brought by Lu Mingfei, and every step he took was heavy. Every step of his footsteps was like a sledgehammer hitting the hearts of the family heads, leaving them unable to think of anything other than surrendering.
The other one had picturesque features on his calm face... The heads of the family couldn't help but look at Yuan Zhisheng who had just walked in. The two people looked too similar, but they had never heard of a head of the Yuan family. Brothers.
But... what about the three other warriors who follow the great priest? They were not by Lu Mingfei's side...where had they gone?
Even though the five family heads with the lower surnames have many questions, they have no right to ask them now, and no one will answer them.
In Xingshen Temple, Lu Mingfei had been to this room before. At that time, the Sheqi family was not too far-sighted enough to want to buy the White King's dragon bone from him. He saw that Angers was also there, but he was sitting in the corner of the room drinking tea leisurely, perhaps waiting for the end of this late-night meeting to get together with the head of the Inuyama family, whom he was familiar with.
"Welcome again, Your Majesty the Great Priest. You are indeed the kind of person who deals with things vigorously and resolutely. With your help, this dragon crisis in Japan may be perfectly resolved without bloodshed."
Masamune Nagatachibana, the leader of the eight Sheqi families, said with a smile.
Although he looks like a gray-haired old man, his natural and friendly smile gives him the confidence to have everything under control, as if he is a born leader.
"But someone is going to bleed here today." Lu Mingfei said coldly. His words shocked the heads of the family present, including Yuan Zhisheng.
"And you're right. I really don't like to waste time when doing things, and I don't intend to rely on your half-truths and lies to confirm my guess. Childish girl."
"As you command, leader." Yuan Zhennu nodded, his pupils lit up with golden mandala-like patterns, and before the family heads could react, he was already singing softly, the lost ancient language carrying an unusual tone. The beauty of the melody is like a hypnotic and ethereal short song, and the transparent realm rapidly expands to wrap the entire Xingshen Temple in it.
Everyone listened with rapt attention - including Angers. He could have used "Time Zero" to escape from the realm of word spirit expansion in time, but because he trusted Lu Mingfei and looked forward to what would happen next, he chose to stay.
The howling and harsh wind echoed in their ears. The heads of the eight Sheqi families suddenly found that they were no longer in the Xingshen Temple, but in a vast white snowfield. The sky-high flames burning from the distant buildings illuminated where they were. s position.
Word Spirit. Dream Tapir, this Word Spirit belonging to Yuan Jingnu has now developed more functional effects, and is no longer limited to the level of mental control that can only pull people into nightmares and kill them;
The "Dream Tapir" currently applied to Tachibana Masamune is one of its functions. It directly extracts the target's brain to play back the past memories retained by it in a realistic way.
Lu Mingfei believed that this word spirit would be of extremely high value even in that war universe, and could efficiently obtain important information without lengthy interrogation—even if the target was a demon.
Because of the extremely high proportion of dragon blood in her body, the "faith furnace" in Yuan Zhennu's body is one size larger than others, only lower than that of Lu Mingfei; she has sufficient power of faith to stabilize her body and protect her spirit. Therefore, even if the subject of the interrogation is a demon, Yuan Zhennu will not be affected by possible chaos pollution.
Of course... like the demons under the command of the Chaos Evil God Tzeentch, you just can't believe all the information in its mind.
Yuan Zhisheng did not find Tachibana Masamune among the family heads. He wanted to ask Lu Mingfei and Yuan Zhisheng what they had done... but he could not do anything himself. He was just as confused as the other five family heads. Standing in the snow, it seems as if you are still surrounding the black and white Tai Chi stone table in Xingshen Temple.
Lu Mingfei and Yuan Zhennu stood on the other side of the snow. Their figures cast tall shadows on the snow. The red light emitted by the helmet's eyepiece was extremely eye-catching in the dim wind and snow.
"Bang!" A gunshot that could not be covered up by the strong wind woke up Yuan Zhisheng. He thought that the one who was shot would be a certain family head. Lu Mingfei's purpose was to shuffle the eight Sheqi families here...
But he found that the gunfire came from the snowy field they were surrounded by. A man sneak attacked another man, and the cold gunshot from behind made him fall in the snow; it seemed that Yuan Zhennu was operating, what they saw The picture scenes are constantly fast forwarding and jumping to directly watch the valuable parts.
So Yuan Zhisheng soon saw that the man who was attacked by a cold gun from behind actually survived, even though his chest was punched through and his skin was burned by the flames of the bomb explosion; he dug out the supplies he had prepared for his escape. , used medicine to heal his injuries, exchanged a batch of platinum crucibles for money, and used forged identity documents to track down the man who attacked him all the way to Tokyo, Japan.
Then he had plastic surgery on his burned face in Japan... A chill suddenly hit his heart, and Yuan Zhisheng shuddered.
He saw that face that was much younger after plastic surgery but still familiar... Masamune Tachibana, that face that was as gentle as a loving father in front of him.
In the recollection of Tachibana Masamune's conjectures, plans, and notes, Minamoto got more information; the man who sank the nuclear-powered icebreaker into the Sea of Japan was the man who attacked Tachibana Masamune, named Bondarev. Masamune guessed his whereabouts and found him in the sea where the Lenin sank. He was beaten into a hornet's nest with a submachine gun across the ship and the cabin of the small boat.
As expected of a father. Yuan Zhisheng thought to himself that Tachibana Masamune still occupies a very important part in his heart. These may just be Tachibana Masamune's hidden past about himself - everyone will have their own unknown past.
But soon, this thought disappeared without a trace from his heart.
Tachibana Masamune found a black leather notebook in the boat and determined the identity of the dead person in the boat through the contents;
Minamoto Zhisheng couldn't read clearly what was written in the notebook. Tachibana Masamune's speed of flipping through the notebook was deliberately accelerated, almost to the speed of two or three pages per second, but it was confirmed that Bondarev wanted to sneak in. The Japanese Sheki Hachi family obtains the secret about the White King.
Then... Tachibana Masamune inherited everything from Bondarev.
He found Bondarev's base in Tokyo. The old apartment house stored the precious and deadly cologne fetal blood, as well as the preliminary product of the evolutionary medicine that catalyzed the hybrid bloodline. He was ecstatically lying on the floor of the room. Danced.
The picture changed, and Yuan Zhisheng's pupils shrank. He saw another container containing human embryos in the room, with the note symbol "ξ". He immediately thought of Eri Yi. He used to wonder why the floor where Eri Yi was on had this special symbol and what special meaning it had...
I didn't expect it to be so...simple and straightforward. A product code name.
Minamoto Chisheng also saw the refrigerated containers code-named "π" and "ω", but they were empty... But the scene fast forwarded to ten years of Tachibana Masamune's development in Sheqihachi's family, and quickly jumped to the time when he finally found The day Bondarev hid "π" and "ω".
"No..." Minamoto Chisei's mind went blank. He saw Tachibana Masamune step into the familiar mountain town and found himself, who was only thirteen years old... and Minamoto Chisei who depended on him for life.
The two of them were "π" and "ω".
Bondarev's plan was to use the two of them to step into the highest level of the Snake Eight Families, because the Snake Eight Families would offer them high positions because of their bloodline, so they would be close to the deepest secrets.
But Tachibana Masamune, no, now it's time to call him Herzog.
Herzog perfected Bondarev's plan. He brought Minamoto Chisei into the Snake Eight Families, and then brought Minamoto Chisei into the Oni Clan. The two forces that had obtained the bloodline of the emperor were ecstatic and thought it was a sign of the family's revival. It was from that time that the war between the Snake Eight Families and the Oni Clan began.
Minamoto Chisei's heart sank to the bottom of the valley inch by inch, as if he was in an ice cave, and the blood in his body became cold.
He watched as Herzog, as their mentor, rose in status among the Snake Eight Clan and the Demon Clan. When he put on the mask, he was a white-faced demon, the terrifying leader of the Demon Clan, "Wangjiang"; when he took off the mask, he was a powerful old man, the head of the Snake Eight Clan, Eri's biological father, and his respected adoptive father...
The two very different faces were smiling. The nobles on the mask smiled subtly, while Masamune Tachibana smiled complacently under the mask.
He didn't need to do anything, just push behind the scenes, and he could drive the Snake Eight Clan and the Demon Clan to fight to the death while desperately trying to find the location of the White King for him.
What made Gen Chisheng angry and sad the most was the girl. The so-called "extremely evil demon" was simply a lie made up by Herzog.
The bloodline of his younger brother was as stable as his own, but because of some kind of surgery, Herzog led to another violent and cruel personality. So in Gen Chisheng's eyes, the girl became a fallen demon and a lunatic, and he had to kill him with grief.
This nightmare-like experience has been haunting him, and it seems that he will never be able to get out of it - but in fact, this is also the scene arranged by Herzog, in order to make the two brothers who love each other completely break up and go to the opposite side of each other.
The scene after that... Yuan Zhisheng no longer has the energy to watch. The ugly and dark truth hidden behind that gentle and kind face is like a heavy hammer, which shatters his spirit and consciousness.
He is no different from his brother. They are both Herzog's pawns and tools. As long as Herzog has reversed the positions of the two, he, the brother who claims to be a "partner of justice", can also become a "demon of extreme evil" and die under his brother's knife.
"It's you."
Lu Mingfei said indifferently, staring at Herzog who was awakening from a dream with undisguised anger and disgust in his eyes.
The golden light in Yuan Zhinv's eyes almost turned into a materialized flame and burst out. His face was twitching with anger, but his modified body genes and his instinct to obey Lu Mingfei after joining the legion prevented him from rushing up and killing the man who should be torn into pieces.
Tachibana Masamune woke up from the hypnotic state of "Dream Tapir" and frowned when he saw the five heads of the lower surnames glaring at him. When he saw Lu Mingfei and Yuan Zhinv, he realized what happened belatedly. His pupils immediately lit up with a striking golden color and turned into a terrifying red. His palms took out a pair of black wooden clappers from the wide sleeves of his kimono...
"Kill him." Lu Mingfei said.
Without giving Tachibana Masamune a chance to rub and knock the wooden clapper, the moment the word "kill" came out, Minamoto Chitose had already appeared in front of Tachibana Masamune, her huge palm grasped his head like a hoop, and the other hand covered with armor clenched into a fist as if to pour all the anger and humiliation into it and hit his face, the crisp bone crack and the dull sound of flesh and blood explosion combined to make a muffled "bang" sound.
Tachibana Masamune was killed on the spot, but this was not enough to offset Minamoto Chitose's anger. He still silently punched the twisted head one by one until it turned into an ugly pool of flesh and blood.
Lu Mingfei did not stop Chitose from venting her anger, because this heretic really deserved to die. He turned on the armor's communication system and contacted Brother Caesar:
"What's the situation underground?"
"We arrived just in time, we just ran into the 'ghosts coming out of the cage'... Oh! And our brother Finger has already taken your sword and 'came out' before brother Chu Guanjun."
In the underground Deadpool breeding farm of Genji Heavy Industries, Caesar watched Finger rushing out screaming while wielding two golden flame-burning swords, and reported the current situation to Lu Mingfei with amazement.
