Chapter 158 Tachibana Masamune

Bright white branches bloomed in the thick black clouds, and the white light illuminated the side face of Minamoto who was sitting in front of the eaves of Xingshen Temple. After a moment, the rumble of thunder slowly came from Mount Fuji, a hundred kilometers to the north. It was like an angry dragon hiding in the crater of the volcano, roaring toward the sky topped by black clouds.

The heavy rain came to Tokyo in the afternoon. The rain poured down on the congested city. The dark haze suppressed the former high shine of the building glass. The whole world could only hear the roar of the water and the noisy people on the streets. The loud and anxious whistles were splashed by the sound of rain into the running water on the ground, and poured into the dark underground sewers along the turbulent water channels.

Genji Heavy Industries, Xingshen Temple.

This is an unusually spacious terrace of Genji Heavy Industries. The only way to enter is through the sliding door of a Japanese-style room in the strategic department on the 30th floor. After opening the sliding door, you will see a bright red 'torii' under the heavy rain. After that, there is a The courtyard is well decorated and has the atmosphere of a Buddhist temple, but the adjacent granite walls are carved with various ghosts and gods, with green faces and fangs, and ferocious spirits, just like a hundred ghosts walking at night.

The Zen-like "Frightening Deer" in the dry landscape pointed out by famous experts in the courtyard lost its original effect in the heavy rain. The bamboo tubes were trembling slightly due to the pressure of the rain on the rocks, and the strings of water falling from the eaves were hung as curtains. The stream flowed down from Yuan Zhisheng's face. Beside him was a tray with two cups of hot tea and a porcelain bowl of soft rice cakes. He sat cross-legged and drank tea, looking through the water curtain at the bright red birds in the rain. Under it, an old man holding a black umbrella and wearing a black patterned haori came walking through the stagnant water on wooden shoes.

When the old man approached, Yuan Zhisheng under the eaves wanted to get up, but the old man pressed his hand from a distance and told him to sit down. With a gentle and peaceful smile on his face, he walked into Xingshen Temple and put away the black umbrella. He sat cross-legged next to Yuan Zhisheng and picked up a cup of hot tea:

"Such heavy rain is coming again?"

"Since I have agreed and made an agreement, I have to keep it even if there is a knife from the sky." Yuan Zhisheng said.

"Do the promises you make must be fulfilled? This is indeed the consistent style of our family, Xiaosheng. It seems that you are also preparing to take over my class."

"Dad, I told you that I don't want to talk about these things in the near future."

"Then let's not talk about this. This weather is not suitable for small talk. Let's talk about business." The old man took a sip of hot tea and looked at the vermilion torii standing in the heavy rain: "Is the situation very bad now?"

"In one week, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department detected 15 cases of illegal entry, during which seven armed conflicts occurred and several casualties occurred. At the same time, within seven days, no fewer than ten people were arrested on international flights under careful casting nets. A dangerous person who has been issued a red notice. Even though the family has made every effort to prevent outsiders from entering the country, there have been rumors in the Tokyo underground world that many people are looking for him in the past few days."

"How's the message blocking going?"

"It's good, but not good enough, because the information he has in our hands has been leaked." Yuan Zhisheng said: "Someone has obtained the intelligence fee of up to 200 million yen. Kaguya finally only determined the flow of funds after tracking it. The person who provided us with the 'S'-level information about this department is in the United States, but even Kaguya cannot trace it. The person is a top hacker and can even hide it from Kaguya's spies on the Internet."

"It seems that the two billion red offer is indeed very tempting. It has attracted so many talented people. Is that post still hanging on the dark web?" The old man nodded thoughtfully.

"Within an hour after the red post went online, the Iwanyu Research Institute used Kaguya to hack into the so-called 'Hunter website' on the dark web, violently logged out the post and the poster's account, and paralyzed the entire website for half an hour. , and in the background, the IP of the person behind the hunter website was locked and a real-name warning was issued.”

"Real-name warning?" The old man paused: "Is it in the name of the family?"

"Yes, but it's not a threat." Yuan Zhisheng shook his head: "We asked Princess Kaguya to threaten them that if they insist on keeping that red post, all 'business' in this forum that sets foot on Japanese soil will be banned. Obstructed and interfered by local organizations, large and small, all members of the forum will also be ostracized and rejected by the underground forces in this country - they are people who make a living in the shadows, and we are the ones creating shadows in this place."

"Hunter.com didn't want to give up the long-term cake because of short-term interests, so it chose to compromise. It was a good way to deal with it. Your thinking began to gradually transform. If it was before, you would probably choose to go to war with that website head-on. Then It will definitely lead to a lot of unnecessary bloodshed." The old man praised.

"But even so, there are still many bounty hunters who are unwilling to give up and choose to take risks to seek for bounties. The 'S'-level photos of this department have been spread all over the dark side of Tokyo, almost every big and small gang organization in the streets and alleys, and even the unscrupulous. Everyone in Yakuza knows that there is a boy in this city whose head is worth two billion." Yuan Zhisheng said in a deep voice: "It is said that there is bad news recently that even people from the killer organization are eyeing him. The reputation of the hunter website has already given rise to the idea of ​​breaking out of the circle. People from all walks of life in the underground have smelled the fishy smell and want to get involved. The reputation of the Sheqi Ba Family can persuade most of the young men to quit, but there is nothing they can do. Drive away the greedy hyenas and wolves.”

"Two billion yen in red money. I haven't seen such a large amount in a long time. Even my head was only offered 800 million yen by the fierce ghosts." The old man sighed slightly, and his photo was at this moment He still remains among the underground forces, but his own power and power have reached an unimaginable peak. Even if he is walking alone in the downtown area openly, no one will dare to quietly point a silencer at him.

But Lin Nian can't do it. He is not a local. Now he is floating like a rootless duckweed in the turbid water of Tokyo. In this heavy rain, the city's rippling water is full of groups of wandering The blood-thirsty tiger fish wanted to tear off a piece of flesh from his body, causing the blood to smear in the water, causing even greater chaos, and even creating a stormy sea.

"A strong dragon cannot overwhelm local snakes. The deterrent effect of our family does exist, but it is obvious that the longer time passes, the bolder those people will become. Recently, there have been three incidents of infiltration and espionage in Genji Heavy Industries. Two Russians and one French The former two seem to be partners, one is exploring the way and the other is carrying out hacking. The former was noticed by Kaguya to appear frequently in nearby cafes and zebra crossing traffic lights, while the latter was abducted during the computer intrusion. IP address locked in fake backdoor vulnerability."

"Have you caught them all?"

"On the night they infiltrated, there was already a team of fully armed Executive Bureau commissioners waiting for them, but it turned out that these two people were just ordinary people. They didn't even take out their guns when facing the mixed race. He was knocked down with a stun baton and is now being held in the basement.”

"What about the Frenchman?"

"The person pretending to be our insider came in and was detained by the security for questioning. Although the certificate was authentic, unfortunately he came to the wrong place. After his true identity was pointed out, he raised his hands and surrendered without any resistance. Now he is also being detained. Locked up in the basement.”

"Have there been three direct invasions of the Genji Building in just one week? Lin Jun's position has been exposed. It seems that the situation is indeed very bad." The old man pinched the bridge of his nose and put down the teacup.

"There are worse things. These three intruders are just ordinary ordinary people. Based on Kaguya's investigation, the 'Hunter Website' that posted red posts has gathered 'Hunters' from all over the world, and most of the tasks posted on the website They are all related to archeology, mysticism, and even posts about tomb robbing, Feng Shui, and alchemy." Yuan Zhisheng said: "Usually when these gods and ghosts are mentioned, they must be related to the dragon civilization. In Hui According to Yeji's calculations, there are a small number of mixed-race species in the 'Hunter Website', and among them there are many candidates who can be called elites among mixed-race species."

"Is there a file record?"

"Kaguya has retrieved information from the backend of the website. There are about four or five hunters who deserve our special attention. Judging from their mission experience and past resumes, they are all estimated to have a bloodline rating of 'A' A super hybrid, he is quite famous in the industry."

"Then what are you going to do next?" the old man asked again.

Yuan Zhisheng paused and did not answer immediately. He touched the still warm tea cup and said softly: "Dad, it seems that you are the head of the eight Sheqi families. This conversation should be about me asking for your opinion. You Give me orders.”

"Oh, if you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten. It seems that you, Zhisheng, have already become the future patriarch." Tachibana Masamune, the head of the eight Sheqi families and the head of the Tachibana family, looked at Minamoto Zhisheng beside him and smiled. He said: "How about you let me hear your arrangements as the director of the Executive Bureau?"

"Send him back to headquarters." Yuan Zhisheng said without hesitation.

"Do you think this headquarters is much safer than ours?"

"No, I just don't want to pay for his actions. Once the chaos over the hanging red spreads on a large scale in the city, many people will die - our people." Yuan Zhisheng said calmly.

Masamune Tachibana nodded slowly to acknowledge Yuan Zhisheng's words, but he said: "Don't forget, if the intelligence is not wrong, the person who is eyeing him is the king of the fierce ghosts, and he is also our old friend. In the Shinjuku bombing incident, some members of our family were also harmed. Can this be regarded as a simple bounty? This time the two billion bounty offered to the headquarters commissioner can be said to belong to our eight Sheqi families. It's an internal matter."

"Internal affairs should be resolved internally. You cannot leave the mess out for others to laugh at." Yuan Zhisheng lowered his eyes and said the meaning of Tachibana Masamune's words: "The 'S' class of our headquarters cannot leave Tokyo, at least until the hanging red incident is resolved. He cannot leave. This is a competition between the Fierce Ghosts and the Sheqi Eight Family through him. Once we let go, it means that we have avoided the fierce ghosts and proactively 'admitted defeat'."

"This will have a very bad impact on Japan's local circle of influence. Some of the wavering forces lingering between the Fierce Demons and the Sheqi Eight Families will make wrong choices, and will also lay the groundwork for more bloodshed in the future. Foreshadowing." Tachibana Masamune nodded and his clear eyes were full of the coldness and unquestionability of a high-ranking person: "The arrogance of the fierce ghosts must be suppressed. Mr. Lin cannot leave the protection of my family, at least not in the near future."

"But how long will this be delayed?" Yuan Zhisheng looked at the courtyard outside the eaves that was blurred by the heavy rain, and felt that the whole world was filled with the sound of the tide: "We cannot protect him for the rest of his life, and he will not be willing to be under house arrest. So long."

"That red sticker will never appear again. The Internet has no memory." Tachibana Masamune said: "The only people who have memories are people, and when those who rush here die almost all the time, it can be a lesson. , this matter will be settled."

"Dad, what do you mean?"

"Blood is needed to quell the trouble. When necessary, no matter which side it is, some blood will be released for inducement and intimidation." Tachibana Masamune said: "So we need to create some opportunities for bloodshed to deter hyenas and wolves. , let them know, let the fierce ghosts know that if you want to chew bones in my mouth, you have to pay a price."

"You can let Mr. Lin go out for a walk in the near future. Remember to arrange some people around him to watch him."

Yuan Zhisheng raised his head slightly and smelled the smell of bloodshed from the tide in Tokyo.
