"Revenge and revolution..." Seiji's eyes flickered.
"That's all I know." Saito started to walk away.
"Wait! Mr. Saito, the reason why you deliberately attract the attention of others is to attract members of the alliance so that you can join?" Seiji asked.
Saito paused.
"I don't know myself... Maybe I want to join, or maybe I just want to know more." He said casually.
"... Where is Mr. Lu Tian? You were actually talking about this just now, weren't you?"
"If you want to know, just ask him... But I don't think Mr. Lu Tian will answer you. He is much more serious than me."
"Thank you for telling me this." Seiji realized that the question could only go to this level at most, so he accepted it as soon as it was good.
"You're welcome." Mr. Saito continued to walk, but stopped after taking two steps, tilting his head slightly, "May I ask you a question, Mr. Haruta?"
"Please say."
"You said that you are now in exile... Then do you have any resentment towards the Springfield family?"
"No." Seiji replied calmly.
Saito remained silent and left.
Successfully learned important information. Seiji stroked his chin, thinking.
What Ikuko Takeuchi suddenly asked should be this matter - "Revenge Alliance".
She thought he had a purpose in saying the name 'Springfield Jundou' in public, so she asked specifically, but he didn't know anything about it at the time.
After that, he was attacked by the soul... Could it be the spell cast by this female ninja
Seiji doesn't think so, Yuko doesn't seem to have that kind of strength.
Although Saito Yuma hinted that he is not a member of the alliance, he has the possibility of participating in the future.
Lu Tian Dahe is also an insider, and he is more "serious".
The mysterious person... Speaking of "revolution", "new era", "overthrowing the old order"... is probably a member of the messenger organization.
The soul spell might have been cast by the mysterious person organized by the messenger. He was on the boat, and he might even be observing here at this moment!
Thinking of this, Seiji looked around again.
"Come out and talk, Messenger of Vengeance," he said clearly.
There was no response, only the sound of the wind.
Kagura remained quiet and guarded.
"I, the good-for-nothing of the Springfield family, is also on your revenge list, right? The soul spell just now is a reminder?"
Still no response.
"If so, thank you for alerting me."
After confirming that there was still no response, Seiji led Xiaoshi back to the restaurant.
…
The game did not continue, because Saito and others expressed that they did not want to play anymore.
Seiji hinted to Lu Tian about the Vengeance Alliance and wanted to talk to him, but he was declined.
Trying to find Ikuko Takeuchi again, the same result.
But even if they know who is a member of the alliance, at most they can only ask for some specific information, but they cannot stop the alliance.
Because it is not prohibited by the contract rules like ordinary alliances.
The contract forbids to continue attacking the combatants triggered by the "talisman", but it does not prohibit killing, nor prohibits the formation of alliances among the combatants, so the Vengeance Alliance is theoretically a "reasonable" alliance within the framework of rules.
The only "unreasonable" thing is the mysterious person who is the initiator... let's call it the "Messenger of Vengeance".
The messenger of revenge either directly intervened in the ceremony, or gave special props or equipment to the members of the alliance, so that they could gain great power.
Seiji felt that Ta should adopt the latter form of operation.
After all, representatives of major forces were present to watch, and the risk of directly intervening in the ceremony was extremely high. Even people from the messenger organization should not be so daring (doing) (death) to such an extent.
Let's call this special item or equipment the "Sword of Vengeance".
Saito said that the people at the top must have known about this for a long time... Seiji agrees with this sentence. It is impossible for the intelligence network of the upper-level forces to not notice this, and someone must have been watching.
It is very likely that there is a strong person responsible for the investigation lurking secretly on this ship, and this is the reason why the Messenger of Vengeance does not take too much action-he must not expose himself!
When they arrived at Baijin Island, the envoy of revenge wanted to give the alliance members the sword of revenge in some way, and this might be the only chance to capture Ta.
If it is caught, the matter will stop here, and the revenge alliance will fail.
And if you can't catch it, you have to watch the Sword of Vengeance.
Alliance members get the Sword of Vengeance and successfully use it, which is the success of the alliance, otherwise it is a failure.
This is a dark battle.
Seiji felt that the vengeance envoy who dared to initiate this kind of alliance and even shouted out revolutionary slogans should be a strong man with a few skills and would not be caught easily.
If the upper-level people want to stop this, the key is to know what the Sword of Revenge is.
Powerful power... Killing props or weapons... Messenger organization...
He remembered Hegu being cursed, the green crystal.
Could it be something like that
No... that's easy to notice, so it shouldn't be, it should be a more ordinary-looking item.
Like a spell.
A seemingly ordinary spell, without any strange energy detected, actually contains powerful power... Could such a thing exist
Emmmm... It's useless to imagine this much. Seiji turned his thoughts back to the Messenger of Vengeance.
The Nemesis is an outsider, hiding on this ship using top-notch concealment techniques... which is only a hypothesis after all.
Maybe he is not an outsider at all, but one of the participants, sitting in the dining room right now!
If so, who could it be
He scanned everyone in the restaurant.
There's a vengeful messenger sitting in it... It's like a detective movie when you think about it.
"The murderer is among us!"
There is the urge to shout out this classic line.
But I really can't tell who it is, I can't really pretend to be forceful, sad.
Seiji picked up his tea and took a sip.
He is not a detective or anything else, just one of the combatants. How to stop a character like the envoy of revenge is left to the person who should worry about it. What he should do is to take good care of Xiaoshi and himself.
In other words, who said that mysterious "stop..."
This sentence sounded twice, it cannot be an illusion, and it is unlikely that it was said by the messenger of revenge.
…
That "spring field" irritates me.
He seems to have a special power that can influence me invisibly... Is it a special ability inherited from a powerful family of onmyojis
It's true that a guy from such a background should come on this ship.
His female partner is not ordinary, she has a vague sense of danger, as if something bad will happen if she gets close to her.
They must be watched.
You must control yourself.
The next thing must be successful.
For this, I will give my all!
I'm sorry... you made me forget you, but I didn't do it after all.
Don't stop me, this is voluntary... In the future, we will always be together.
