Chapter 252 Waiting
The izakaya that Li Jie entered was the kind that can be seen everywhere in Toyo. Some alcoholic beverages are provided, and snacks such as grilled skewers and deep-fried dishes are sold at the same time.
"The yakitori here tastes good." Li Jie and Peter sat at the bar of the izakaya like real tourists.
While eating the food provided by the boss, Li Jie's seemingly relaxed attitude made Peter beside him a little restless.
"Aren't we looking for someone?" Peter whispered to Li Jie.
"But can I have some dinner with peace of mind first? I don't really like the food provided by the company at night." Li Jie signaled Peter to eat with peace of mind.
"Too much raw and cold food. Eating too much is prone to gastroenteritis."
The dinner provided by the Osborne Group is not bad, but the standard is very high. But because of the oriental eating habits. So in the set meal for the whole dinner.
The proportion of raw food and cold food is too high, and the taste of Dongyang food is generally bland, Li Jie can understand where the deliciousness of this food lies.
But it doesn't mean that he will like this kind of food very much. Li Jie still prefers hot food, such as the yakitori he is eating now.
This is not America, where there is no under-21 drinking law. Li Jie ordered a glass of plum wine for himself.
The taste of this wine is also light, with a light aroma and sweet and sour taste of plums. It complements each other with slightly greasy fried food.
Peter didn't drink at all, so he ordered a cup of oolong tea and ate it slowly.
The two of them ate very slowly, chatting about what they had and what they didn't have while eating. It wasn't until there were few customers in the store that Li Jie waved to the boss who had been in charge of the barbecue.
The boss thought that the two guests needed other dishes, so he came over. But Li Jie took out a small seal and handed it to the boss for a look.
The boss with a serious face, who looked a lot like the image of a cruel uncle in the animation, held the seal and observed for a while before nodding to Li Jie.
At the same time, a guy in charge of the barrel was also called by the boss.
The boss returned the seal to Li Jie, and at the same time signaled Li Jie and the two to follow the buddy. The two foreign tourists entered the shop as if they were led by a buddy, looking for a bathroom.
At the corner of the stairwell, an inconspicuous corner. The man turned a concealed knob slightly, and a low door hidden under the stairwell was opened.
Li Jie and Peter looked at each other, and stepped into the low door under the guidance of the buddy.
This unremarkable shop is one of the strongholds of the Innocence Society in Osaka. Because this is Toyo, and Osaka is the core force of Tewakai.
The Chunzhen Society must be cautious in all actions here, otherwise it is very likely to encounter a catastrophe.
And the person in charge here is Gun Sou's eldest disciple. A middle-aged man named Pan Shi.
He started earlier than Daredevil Matt. Li Jie only knew about this man before he came to Dongyang. He always thought that the stick man had only two apprentices, Matt and David.
Panshi has always been a person who hides in the dark, and he is also the successor of the next generation of the Pure Society.
Different from the thin and thin figure of the stick man, the rock man is as strong as the name, as strong as a cow, and looks indestructible.
Solid muscles, and well-groomed black hair, give people a feeling that this man is very reliable. Seeing the arrival of Li Jie and Li Jie, Pan Shi first stood up and extended his hand to them to express his courtesy.
After the meaningless greetings that some Asians are accustomed to, Pan Shi began to talk about the topic.
"The teacher mentioned you to me. But you came a little earlier than I expected." Pan Shi's voice was quite magnetic.
"Come early, at least you can make some preparations earlier." Li Jie smiled. "I heard that your ninjas have managed to sneak into the vicinity of the castle?"
"Yes, a lot of people died. The only good news is that at least they haven't been found out yet." The corner of Pan Shi's mouth twitched.
"We also launched attacks on several other strongholds of the Shouhehui, making them think that this was just a normal attack by Chunzhenhui. After all, the conflict between us has been going on for a long time, and it is not surprising to do so."
After Pan Shi said this, his face was dark.
It seems that Chunzhen will not simply die a few people, but probably pay a heavy price. Li Jie pursed his lips.
There are some words that I want to say, but they are finally suppressed in my throat.
This was his plan. From the beginning of the design, Li Jie knew that many people would be sacrificed. It is difficult to say whether this plan is correct or not.
Because as long as it is promoted, the plan will not simply stop.
Li Jie could only temporarily put those thoughts behind him, and he had to first understand what was happening now. "Have you received any accurate information now?"
Relying on the monitoring of reconnaissance satellites, only the general situation can be checked. Especially after Doom came, he added a camouflage to the castle of Hand and Society.
The function of the reconnaissance satellite is basically abolished, and the ninjas can only rely on the ninjas to approach and reconnaissance.
"It seems that they are still in the preparation stage. There are a lot of supplies being shipped in and out." Pan Shi said and unfolded a map.
It looks hand-painted. It should be drawn by those scouting ninjas who relied on terrain scouting.
"Hands and clubs have become weaker in defense in several other Toyo regions. Onmyoji, in particular, have become scarce."
"Originally there were several strongholds that should have been stationed by Onmyoji, but now we haven't encountered them. This allowed us to capture several strongholds of the Hand and Society." Panshi said this while pointing to the map with his finger.
"Now we can be sure that most of the Onmyojis should have been sent back to this castle. If this is really the entrance to hell."
"I believe that the Hand and Society will definitely organize a sufficient number of Onmyojis to prevent terrible accidents."
"Any other useful news?"
"There are also Latvian soldiers. Our people have seen a lot. They look better than the elite Latvian soldiers who defeated the Russian army in the TV news."
"You mean, those special soldiers wearing armor and using melta guns on TV?" Peter interrupted and asked.
"Yes, they look stronger. Maybe Doom's personal guards. Better equipped and better trained. Several times my ninja was almost discovered by them." Pan Shi nodded.
"Then it seems that there is nothing wrong. Doom is indeed here. If his personal guards are also there." Li Jie said to Peter.
"So Doom hasn't entered hell yet? What is he waiting for?" Peter asked with some doubts.
"Maybe they are waiting for the same thing as us." Li Jie tried to infer. He had collected a lot of information about Dum before.
Especially Dr. Charlize, who is now on the Ark spaceship, but his classmate back then and a good friend. Li Jie asked Tony to ask Charlize about Dum.
"Dum is a man, judging from the information provided by Dr. Charlize. He has some self-willed. Or the character of self-importance."
"Judging from his method of ruling Latvia, he is not one who likes to compromise with others. I think that if Mephisto's equivalent exchange, it will definitely not meet Dum's definition of equivalent exchange."
"But want a demon to bow to humans? Well, Dum is not the ancient one. It is almost impossible for Mephisto to compromise with Dum on Earth now."
"And Dum can arrange the entire Eastern European countries as his own pawns, and I am afraid that even crazier things can be done."
Peter nodded. "Then what are we going to do now?"
"Wait." Li Jie said softly.
"Waiting for what?"
"Waiting for the arrival of a steel legion, so that Dum and Mephisto can listen to me obediently."
