It was already midnight on the streets of Shinjuku. Drunk old men, high school students soliciting customers, and groups of hooligans kept the streets busy as ever.
Only when the five strange warriors were knocked to the ground did everyone forget their original purpose and focus their attention on the unknown store.
The figure walking out of the dark store made Xu Zhe and others even more confused.
She was 1.3 meters tall, with delicate skin that could be seen even under the streetlights, and her shoulder-length black hair was still wet with crystal drops of water. Her big, twinkling brown eyes and her rosy, enchanting lips all spoke of youth.
The girl was wrapped in only a white bath towel and wearing slippers, and it was obvious that she was very angry.
"Ah!" A soldier suddenly pulled off his hood, revealing four sharp white canine teeth, and pounced forward with his bloody mouth wide open.
Unfortunately, his resistance was meaningless.
The girl standing quietly under the street light just slowly rushed forward and punched the vampire in the side of his face. Xu Zhe watched the poor guy's face twisted, and the four canine teeth that symbolized his identity flew out with blood. The soldier's body was like a kite with a broken string, flying three meters backwards and hitting the electric pole across the street. Even the surface of the concrete electric pole was cracked and fragments fell everywhere, making people worry about what happened to this guy's spine
"You bunch of bastards, this is the trouble you brought back? If you're here to 'work' you should be clean. Now my shop has been demolished, how can I settle the bill?" The girl started to curse while Xu Zhe and the others were still confused. There was no doubt about the familiar voice and the cursing tone.
"Monster old woman?!" Tiechui's jaw almost dropped in surprise because the contrast between reality and reality was so huge.
"You once again..." His clenched fists made a crackling sound as bones collided, and Tiechui shut his mouth instantly.
"Why do I feel dizzy?" Haozi couldn't explain with all the knowledge he had learned why an old woman in her eighties suddenly looked like she was thirteen or fourteen years old.
"I seem to have known it earlier?" Recalling yesterday's bathing, although Xu Zhe did not see his mother-in-law's appearance, when he was pushed into the water and struggling, he accidentally touched that smooth arm. The delicate texture was not something that an eighty-year-old woman could have.
"Come in, we're packing up to move." He turned and went back to the store, and the group of four followed him in.
Without the gate, entering and exiting is more convenient than usual...
All that was left was a circle of confused "spectators" on the street, who couldn't understand what had happened.
After returning to their rooms, Tiechui, Haozi and Xuzhe packed up the things they had just opened. Alice, who seemed to have nothing to do, just watched quietly on the side without saying a word. It seemed that she did not expect to be integrated into this team, or she did not want to be.
"I finally figured it out!" Suddenly, Tiechui, who was packing up, shouted, "That old woman must be a witch, just like the witches in the Middle Ages, drinking virgin blood and eating the 'stuff' of older men, so she becomes younger."
"There is no such magic as yours. Even if there is, it is definitely not something that humans can master." Xu Zhe was the first to reject Tiechui's wild thoughts. "If humans want to maintain their youthful appearance, the scientific explanation is to maintain cell activity. And everyone in the cultivation world knows that cell activity depends on the body's spiritual energy. Spiritual energy has been a fixed value since the day humans were born, and it disappears with the passage of time. Those who have achieved enlightenment can only control the amount of loss, and cannot achieve complete immortality. Besides, people who have cultivated to that level are usually in their 50s or 60s, and what they have lost cannot be made up."
"Not necessarily. Is that old woman really a human being?" Tiechui tried to lower his voice, as if he was just spreading gossip.
"Don't try to learn how to think like others if you have a brain as soft as tofu, or your heart and brain cells will die prematurely." The tightly closed door was opened from the outside, revealing a standard sailor suit and bubble socks, which made people speechless.
But the girl didn't give Tiechui a chance to speak. She just threw a strange suit on Tiechui.
"Shit!" Even the hammer trembled. First, he was frightened because the thing was a one-piece fake skin, and the head looked exactly like my mother-in-law's face. Second, he was crushed. This wrinkled disguise weighed no less than 100 kilograms. Especially for a woman who carried it on her back and lived a life without paying attention to others, even a grown man couldn't lift it easily.
"I have a more scientific inference." The mouse with the least luggage had already packed up and sat on his suitcase to start surfing the Internet. "This phenomenon should be a disease. Some people were infected with the pituitary system for some reason when they were young, which destroyed the secretion of growth hormone and caused the body to stop growing. There are such cases all over the world. I wonder if mine is right?"
After finishing, Haozi closed the notebook with satisfaction.
"If you don't want to die, you'd better come with me now. The police will be here in three minutes at most, and your trip to Japan will be over." Turning around and walking downstairs, the mother-in-law did not refute. Obviously, Haozi's inference was correct.
At this point, the only thing they could do was to follow her orders. Everyone followed this woman who looked 13 years old but was 80 years old at heart...
The store opened the garage that had not been opened for a long time, and an old van appeared in front of everyone. Xu Zhe missed his Mary...
This time, Tiechui was driving again, because Haozi wanted to analyze the only material brought by Xuzhe. After Xuzhe got on the car, he "fainted" without saying a word (even if he was awake, no one dared to let him drive...), Alice was even more powerful, she didn't know how to drive at all, after all, heaven relies on wings, not wheels.
As for Grandma Yoshida, she is only 1.3 meters tall. When she sees the road, she can’t step on the accelerator. When she steps on the accelerator, she can’t see the road…
In the end, Tiechui was stuffed depressingly into the "canned" seat and drove out of the bustling city of Tokyo in a van that looked like it was from the 1980s.
This was all my mother-in-law's request. Once an intelligence officer's target is exposed, he is not allowed to stay in one place any longer. Transfer is inevitable.
"Mother-in-law, where are we going? You have to give me a specific address, right?" The car, accompanied by the bright moon in the sky, was driving on a mountain road where there were no oncoming cars. The roadside was full of mountains and dense forests. The happier Tiechui was, the more uncertain he felt.
"Just drive when I tell you to. Why are you asking so many questions?" The car window was rolled down, and my mother-in-law, who was sitting in the passenger seat, leaned on the window sill, looking at the lights of Tokyo that were gradually fading away.
This city where I have lived for nearly forty years, even though it does not belong to my country, makes me feel very empty inside.
With a helpless sigh, the mother-in-law even suspected that taking in these guys was the biggest failure in her spy life...
The night gradually deepens as I travel without a destination. What will happen tomorrow? Perhaps even God doesn’t know.
The next morning was a bright and clear one. The white clouds in the sky were as soft as cotton candy, and the sun shone softly. Still in that old courtyard, the orioles on the pine branches were singing happily, and the carps in the pond were playing happily back and forth.
The wind blows through the treetops, making them sway. The rustling sound tickles the heart.
Such a beautiful scenery is disturbed by a group of people who destroy the environment.
In the clean wooden corridor, Jiuwei still wears the golden mask. On the low table in front of him is no longer the antique tea set, but the fragrant flowers. Pick up the beautiful flowers, trim them carefully, and arrange them meticulously. This is the flower arrangement.
There were two people standing in the courtyard in front of him. Yaqi in a white suit and the hunchbacked Daitengu formed a sharp contrast.
"Sir, you should have known what happened in the Tokyo branch yesterday, right? A team of vampires was lurking there, encircling Xu Zhe." With his hands in his trouser pockets, Yaqi glanced at his "partner" with a cold look, "What's more serious is that some people used their power to put pressure on the government and prohibited any force from interfering. It's obvious that they want Xu Zhe's life..."
"What do you mean?" Daitengu looked calm and composed, as if it was none of his business.
"You have been in charge of the Tokyo branch. How could a bunch of bastards with guns set up an ambush in it so easily? Without you as the leader, who could have done it?" Yaqi was no longer asking, but questioning.
"I am investigating this matter, and I cannot give you the details right now." The empty official language avoided all questions.
"Old dog, are you insulting my wisdom or Lord Jiuwei's authority? You even dare to disobey the Lord's order not to kill Xu Zhe... Do you want to rebel?" The tone turned cold and the environment was terrifyingly silent.
"You guys are so noisy..." Kyuubi gently cut off the leaves of a rose, and the two people below immediately shut up with his gentle words, "What a disunited organization, noisy and chattering. Why don't we just destroy the demon world in Japan, and I will do everything myself. At least I can have peace of mind..."
Hearing this, Daitengu and Kyuubi were speechless and lowered their heads deeply, showing a kind of extreme fear.
"A thousand years ago, people were simpler, and so were the monsters. To satisfy their simple appetites, they wandered the streets and were content with eating. But as time progressed, companies, groups, GDP, and too many complex things enriched the originally simple world. Humans even created suicidal weapons like the atomic bomb? Everyone is in a panic, afraid of death, and desperately suppressing their murderous nature and hatred. They don't even dare to start a decent war. I just can't understand what's wrong with the world
What's fun in such a world
It's rare that I find an interesting old friend, but you want to kill him? Do you really hate him that much? More than I do? "Putting down the flowers in his hand, Jiuwei looked at Daitengu in confusion, but the latter did not think this was a simple question and did not even dare to breathe. Unexpectedly, Jiuwei's tone softened again, "It's okay, thank you for putting together such a big lineup to help my old friend grow. Now he needs the accumulation of battles more than ever. Only through constantly escalating battles can he become stronger.
I have watched the surveillance video sent by the branch. I knew that the Five Elements Forbidden Spell that can absorb the spirit of heaven and earth is powerful, but it is only a set of principles after all. The specific move triggered by Xu Zhe - Jiaolong is a beautiful improvement. He should come up with more interesting things in the future..."
“Sir, what you mean is…” Daitengu was completely confused and just felt as if he had saved his life.
"Go after him, send your most trusted men, but I hate using more people against fewer, no matter what method you use. Don't let him rest too long and forget the feeling of holding a sword..." Kyuubi's words were a kind of indulgence. Daitengu glanced proudly at Yagi beside him, like a winner, because this time he was going to kill people with the "imperial edict".
"Yes, I will go down and arrange it right away." After bowing excitedly, the old Tengu disappeared into the courtyard.
"Sir, with Xu Zhe's current strength." Yaqi didn't think that Xu Zhe, whom he hadn't seen for a month, could grow to the point of resisting the killing arranged by Da Tengu.
"Yaki, in fact, among all the monsters, only your wisdom and outlook are the most similar to mine, so you have noticed Xu Zhe's extraordinaryness. But you can see too little, and your understanding of him is still vaguely limited to the level of humans." Gently picking up an intoxicating lily, the Kyuubi under the mask smiled, "He is not a creature you can compare with, and his strength will never weaken due to the passage of time and the reincarnation of life...
In his heart there is a terrifying power that you cannot see, something that scares even me.
And judging from the state he showed yesterday, he has now reached this area.
That's why I'm not worried that there will be any creature other than me who can kill him...
Even God can’t...
Because the shackles have been opened..." Kyuubi's words require thinking, but thinking does not necessarily lead to understanding.
The bond between her and Ziya has been tightly entangled with each other for three thousand years. That relationship is not something that humans can understand...
