Late at night, on a small road in the suburbs of Kyoto. Takeuchi Aota was walking towards home alone.
Tonight is his last day in Kyoto, and he has already bought a ticket for the ten o'clock in the evening.
Thinking about his ambition when he first came to Kyoto when he was young, and then bumping into walls everywhere in reality, as well as a series of recent bizarre encounters, made his mental state very bad. Just like that, he walked towards the rented house in a sluggish way.
But when Aota Takeuchi turned a corner, he suddenly saw the back of a woman in white under the dim streetlight. There was nothing strange about this at first, but within a few seconds after Takeuchi Qingta saw the woman, the woman in white suddenly disappeared.
Just like an ordinary person, the woman took a step towards her side, but this step seemed to go to another world, and disappeared without a trace from Takeuchi Qingta's eyes.
Cold sweat covered Aota Takeuchi's back in an instant, and he suddenly rushed over to the place where the woman in white was fighting just now.
"Damn it, did it appear again?" Aota Takeuchi, who was thinking here, looked around, as if trying to find the woman in white. Suddenly a white figure appeared in the corner of his eyes, and the other party had disappeared around the corner of an alley.
"over there!"
"Don't worry about it!"
Aota Takeuchi ran towards the corner of the alley quickly, but when he came there, his eyes were wide open and his face was full of surprise. Because the alley in front of him was a dead end, and there was no one in it.
"What's the matter? I saw that he came in here?"
Just as Takeuchi Qingta was looking left and right, looking for the woman, he patted him on the shoulder with one hand. A woman's voice came from behind him: "What are you doing?"
The sound startled Aota Takeuchi, he turned around suddenly, and saw a girl in white standing behind him. The girl has long brown hair tied in a ponytail. The characteristic gray pupils, together with the high bridge of the nose, constitute a mysterious and charming face.
"Is it a foreigner?"
The rare beauty made Takeuchi Aota a little embarrassed for a while, and said slowly: "Are you okay? Are you injured?"
Aota Takeuchi, who was too shy, didn't notice, when he turned around, the ponytail girl showed a hint of surprise on her face, her eyes fixed on his chest.
The girl took the initiative to introduce: "Hello, my name is Emma. What's your name?"
"My name is Aota Takeuchi." Aota Takeuchi smiled awkwardly: "It's not safe here recently, you're a girl so late, you'd better go home quickly."
"Really?" Emma was noncommittal, but her heart was full of doubts. According to the calculations of the technical department, the place in front of me is the location where Daxia Longque's investigators in Kyoto lost contact for the last time. But so far, she, Hansen, and Pink have checked around and found nothing wrong.
But just now, the Dongyang man in front of her brought her an unexpected clue. On the chest of the man's coat, there was a line of handwriting composed of thoughts. A message that only capable people can see.
"Is this written by... Yanbei? It's all the password of Daxia Longque, and it will take some effort to decipher." Emma stared at the man's chest tightly, and wrote it down with her thoughts on the man's chest. All the passwords are memorized in my mind.
But Emma looked at it for too long, and even Takeuchi Aota noticed something was wrong. He looked down at his coat, patted it with his hands, and said embarrassedly: "I have worn this dress for almost a week, and it is a little dirty. I'm sorry."
But after Aota Takeuchi finished speaking, Emma grabbed his palm and said coldly, "Don't move." Then she covered his chest with her hands.
Naturally, Takeuchi Aota didn't know that the other party was erasing the writing on his chest. From his point of view, the foreign beauty in front of him suddenly started touching his chest.
"No... no way."
"Could it be that God can't bear to see me so unlucky."
"What if he wants to go with me later?"
"Damn it, I don't have any money to open a house. If I take her back to the rental house, will she dislike it?"
Just when Aota Takeuchi was flushing and thinking wildly in his mind, Emma's palm had already left his chest. And took out a mobile phone from his arms and asked, "What's your phone number."
Ao Takeuchi was so nervous that he reported a series of numbers. After Emma pressed a few times, the phone rang in Aota Takeuchi's trouser pocket.
Emma said lightly: "This is my phone number, if you encounter anything special, just call me this number."
Takeuchi Aota took out his mobile phone and started to operate, and said: "Okay... okay, what do you mean by so-called special things?" Halfway through the conversation, when Takeuchi Aota raised his head, the girl with the ponytail had disappeared.
A gust of cold wind blew, making Takeuchi Qing too cold to fight a cold war.
"Shouldn't you encounter a ghost?" But he looked at the phone number displayed on his phone, and he was so real that he became uncertain.
So worrying about gains and losses, Takeuchi Qingta has already walked back to his small nest in Kyoto. It was a single room less than ten square meters. Housing prices in Kyoto are too expensive. Even in this kind of location close to the suburbs, with Aota Takeuchi's income, he can only afford to rent ten square meters.
Although the space is small, it has all internal organs. The small single room not only has an air conditioner, a refrigerator, a natural gas stove, but also a toilet and shower room separated by plastic panels.
But tonight, all the things in the room have been put away, leaving only a few boxes at the door.
Looking at the room where he spent a year, thinking about the hard work and hard work of this year, Aota Takeuchi sighed softly: "Are we going to leave after all?"
Shaking his head, Aota Takeuchi seemed to shake off his inner hesitation, picked up the suitcase and walked out the door. Taking a last look at the room where he lived for a year, he closed the door and left without looking back.
It is now eleven o'clock in the evening. On the small road in the suburbs, only Aota Takeuchi walked alone under the dim street lights, and he couldn't help but think of the girl in white who appeared just now.
He hesitated in his heart, "Should I make a phone call now
But she asked me to call her again when I have something special, and if I call her now, will it make her angry? "
When Aota Takeuchi was thinking so wildly, he didn't notice that the mobile phone in his trouser pocket was vibrating constantly, and unknowingly, he seemed to be walking further and further away. I don't know why the street lights are broken today in the originally bright street. In the dim light, everything seemed unreal.
There was a whoosh sound suddenly.
Before Takeuchi Aota could react, a loud shout came from behind him.
"careful!"
An arm grabbed his arm, and an unimaginably huge force dragged him forward. Then a black light flashed, and when Takeuchi Qingta realized that he had come to a position hundreds of meters away.
He looked at his side in shock, the foreign girl Emma was holding his arm at the moment, and looked at the position just now with a look of wariness.
Aota Takeuchi followed her gaze, and saw a man standing where he was standing just now. The man was wearing black tights, a mask on his head, and a metal dagger in his hand. It was like a legend. ninja in.
Unlike Aota Takeuchi who was confused, Emma raised her guard against men to the maximum.
Just now, after she wrote down the password left by Yanbei, she rushed back to meet Hansen and Pink, and then decoded it. Because she originally thought that Yanbei left it on the nearby residents casually, as a clue left by him.
But after decoding it, she only got four words, which were "Eternal Life Potion". The line of Nianqi code on Takeuchi Qingta's body is just such four words without any clue.
In doubt, Emma thought about it and decided to go to Takeuchi Qingta. But no one answered the phone, so Emma could only release her thoughts to scan. Fortunately, Aota Takeuchi did not go far, but when she found the other party, she saw a man dressed like a killer walking from the Attacked Aota Takeuchi from behind, at a critical moment, she used space teleportation to save Aota Takeuchi.
The masked man sneered, but didn't say much. In the next second, he had disappeared from Emma's sight.
"Are you invisible?" Just as Emma was thinking this, a burst of astonishing hostility came towards the back of her head, and when she turned her head, the tip of the metal dagger was less than half a meter away from her.
At the critical moment, a dark circular portal opened in front of the dagger, and at the same time another circular portal appeared behind the head of the man in black. When he stabbed the entire dagger through, the dagger went straight through the portal and stabbed at the back of his head.
Another series of sneers came from the mouth of the man in black, he had disappeared and appeared again.
The same angle, the same dagger, but this time the aiming position became Emma's vest.
Watching the two strange attacks of the man in black, Emma thought of a name well-known in the Western Continent.
"Samael."
"Tyrael's national-level ability user organization, one of the fifth-level ability users of Annihilation Abyss, nicknamed Void Walker."
"It is known as one of the hardest ability users in the world to kill."
"Ability... teleportation."
A series of messages echoed in Emma's mind, but she no longer had time to think about why two level five ability users appeared in the suburbs of Kyoto at the same time.
Facing the opponent's strange attack, she took Aota Takeuchi and took a step forward, and the two of them disappeared in place in a flash of black light.
With a loud bang, Takeuchi Aota's suitcase was only half-entered before it was slashed by the metal dagger and turned into countless pieces.
Looking at the deserted street, the man in black let out a series of sneers again, and said the first sentence since he appeared: "Can I escape?"
※※※
When Emma's investigation in Kyoto gradually deepened, Li Anping was attending a meeting in Tianjing. The content of the meeting was related to the marriage plan he had proposed before.
He was sitting at the head of the conference table, holding a booklet in his hand. On his left is the current patriarch of the nine royal families. On the right hand side are the leaders of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow headed by Liu Sheng and Liu Feng.
In the families of ordinary people, marriage is a big event. Not to mention Li Anping, the current uncrowned king of Great Xia. The issue of his marriage is related to the rise and fall of the entire Great Xia, and even the entire Eastern Continent.
But no one can force him to choose, everything depends on Li Anping's own will. So in the booklet in his hand, he listed all the nine royal families and Da Xia Longque who thought there was no problem as backup candidates, and let Li Anping use it as a reference.
