Chapter 1667: Hell for the Living
The shrill horn sounded awake Yuan Zhisheng.
He opened his eyes and saw his own reflection on the passenger window. His handsome face was tired after waking up from a nightmare, and his brown pupils were like a black well.
Outside the car window was a winding mountain road without guardrails, and outside the road was a cliff. Looking out, there were the dense green mountains of Kobe wrapped in morning mist. After the baptism of plum rain, the mountains and forests were full of fresh green. The shrill horn of the Hummer was heard all over the mountains and fields, constantly echoing in the misty mountain fog.
"Fuck, can you drive?" Yuan Zhisheng lowered the window of the back seat, and Yasha leaned out half of his body. In the horn sound, he roared and issued a cordial greeting to a red family SUV parked on the uphill road in front of him with double flashes on.
Yuan Zhisheng was riding in a black Hummer, and at this moment he was forced to stop on the slippery mountain road of this Kobe mountain, unable to move forward or backward.
There was a sound of a car door closing in front, and a middle-aged woman with brown curly hair and a thick coat got out of the driver's seat of the red SUV. She kept saying "すみません①" to the black Hummer that was forced to brake on the slope and could not move, and nodded with each apology.
From her expression and attitude, it can be seen that she clearly wanted to come closer to apologize and explain the situation, but she may have seen the gorgeous and ferocious ghosts and gods lining the suit of Yasha leaning out of the window, and guessed the identity of the person in the car behind, so she dared to keep a distance and kept bending down to apologize.
Yasha saw that this confused driver dared to get out of the car, and he was even more angry, and the curse was louder and more unpleasant, because this meant that the SUV on the slope in front was braking purely by the handbrake, and there were even other people in the car.
"What's going on now?" Yuan Zhisheng lowered his head and gently pinched his nose bridge, closed his eyes and asked the driver in the driver's seat, "How far are we from our destination?"
"There is still a 10-kilometer mountain road to the monastery. The monastery is on the top of the mountain. Now the people blocking our way in front of us should be the residents of this mountain." The driver in the driver's seat answered.
Yuan Zhisheng looked up in the rearview mirror. Sakura in the driver's seat was wearing a black suit with slim trousers. His hands were steady on the steering wheel. With the handbrake pulled up, his feet were also steadily stepping on the brake.
The black Hummer they were riding in was on the slope of a mountain road. There was water on the mountain road, and there was a cliff without guardrails behind. Now they were forced to use the brakes to stop halfway. No wonder Yasha lowered the window and got angry at the red SUV blocking the road in front.
The weight of the Hummer was not light to begin with. If the brakes failed or the tires slipped in such a parking method and environment, it would be a joke with the lives of the people in the car.
Normally, Yasha is a madman who dares to drive his motorcycle on the highway to chase the thugs who are equipped with Corvettes and Camaros. He will not get angry because of braking halfway on the mountain road. He is furious now because the person sitting in the car is Minamoto Chisheng, the head of the Minamoto family of the Snake Eight Clan.
Yasha's own life can be lost on the landslide on the mountain road. His colleagues will at most go to his tombstone every anniversary of his death to pour a glass of shochu and spit a mouthful of saliva to laugh at his funny death, but Minamoto Chisheng's life cannot be used to make such a joke. As the Amaterasu of the family and the successor of the Snake Eight Clan, Minamoto Chisheng is the leader who must lead the underworld to prosperity and prosperity. There must not be any accidents, especially such unnecessary risks.
The middle-aged woman was scolded by Yasha and returned to the car. The red SUV quickly drove to the side road. Ying loosened the handbrake and started halfway up the slope and continued to drive slowly along the mountain road.
When the vehicle passed the curly-haired middle-aged woman who was still bending over to apologize to them on the roadside, Yuan Zhisheng, who was in the passenger seat, saw through the car window two children and a baby seat sitting in the back seat of the SUV. The luggage rack on the roof of the SUV was full of suitcases. It looked like the vehicle had a problem while preparing to move or travel.
"It's a tire problem." Ying, who was in the driver's seat, looked forward and pointed out the problem with just a glance at the red SUV parked on the roadside. "The height of the vehicle is a little unbalanced. It should be that the rear tire was punctured. They were supposed to go down the mountain, but they found that the car's maneuverability was problematic, so they turned the front of the car to stop for maintenance, which just blocked our way up the mountain."
"The 12-model Toyota Highlander, two-wheel front-wheel drive, is not easy to detect in the early stage of the rear wheel puncture, and the rugged mountain road and uneven road surface can easily cause the driver to make mistakes. Diagnose the fault problem. "The Crow, who had been watching the situation in the back seat, also spoke up. He wore frameless glasses and moved slightly closer to the anti-peeping car window, looking at the red SUV, "But what can the tires puncture on this mountain road? There are not even dilapidated guardrails here, and there are few residents along the way, and there is basically no domestic garbage. "
"What does it have to do with us? As long as it doesn't block the young master's way, isn't it? The rescue call is made at this time, otherwise the taxpayers' money will be paid in vain. "Yaksha raised the car window and cursed, blocking the apology voice outside that was already a little annoying. As a vanguard who charged for the young master, he was only responsible for clearing the way for the imperial carriage. As for thinking, that was the job of the military strategist Crow who was strategizing beside him. He would never grab it, and he didn't have the brains to grab it.
"Just go and take a look and you will know? Ying, stop the car. Crow got out of the car to remind the lady to change the tire. SUVs like this usually have spare tires in the trunk. "Yuan Zhisheng said.
The Hummer suddenly stopped again, and then there was the sound of the handbrake being pulled up. The black Hummer stopped again on the dangerous mountain road with Yuan Zhisheng's words.
"Is it necessary? Young Master, our time is already very limited." Crow raised his head in surprise and wanted to give some advice to Yuan Zhisheng for his sudden kindness.
"Go quickly." Yuan Zhisheng said.
"Hi!" Crow said no more nonsense. He opened the car door and slipped out. After closing the car door, he lowered his head and walked towards the middle-aged woman who kept bowing her head and apologizing not far away to negotiate.
As for why Yuan Zhisheng only let Crow go and not Yaksha, it was mainly because Yaksha had a fierce look on his face, and because he had scolded someone just now, so when he stopped to let him out at this time, the middle-aged woman would only think that Yaksha was angry. To repair their whole family, old and young, and then leave, it may cause a lot of trouble and bad words.
"Did you find something, Master?" Sakura asked from the driver's seat, holding the steering wheel.
Although the Sheqi Bajia family, as a gangster, often deal with people's livelihood issues, having to get out of the car to help change the tire when passing by with a flat tire is really a bit excessive. They are a gangster organization after all, not a road rescue team, and they are entering Kobe during the rainy season. There are still important things going on in the mountains, so stopping to do good deeds at this time feels like putting the cart before the horse.
"All disasters originate from a tiny signal." Yuan Zhisheng looked out the car window and said, "This is what my father said to me a long time ago."
Sakura couldn't deny it. The father that Minamoto was talking about was Masamune Nagatachibana, the current head of the Sheqi Eight Family. Everyone knew that Minamoto was an adoptive father and son, but the relationship was better than that of a biological father and son, so Minamoto was always very popular with everyone. He taught for a long time and regarded his teachings as golden and good words.
However, there are also some old-school voices in the family who believe that this is just a prank by Tachibana Masamune in order to support his adopted son to become the next head of the family. Minamoto has never ignored these voices, and the voices of the young people in the family who support him have also overshadowed him. overcame all doubts. Because many people think that filial piety can appear between the young master and the head of the Sheqi family. This means that in the short term, as the emperor of the Japanese underworld, there will be no internal disputes among the Sheqi family. If there is turmoil, everything will develop in a prosperous direction.
"Indeed, this seems to be a bad signal." Sakura said looking at the back of the crow who was changing the tire of the middle-aged woman on the roadside.
The inevitable natural disasters failed to drive the Japanese people to leave their homes, especially those who had lived in the mountains for a long time and stuck to their homeland more loyally. However, at this moment, there are signs of family relocation, which can only mean that something more terrible and unbearable than a natural disaster is happening around them.
"This kind of thing has never happened in the past years. The family regularly sends law enforcement officers to inspect the monastery, and gives those people under surveillance "color" labels to differentiate. The sudden occurrence of such bad news can only be caused by outsiders." Source Zhisheng said, "Since our parents insist on letting us come here to survey the site, there must be deep meaning. All the little things and details encountered along the way cannot be easily ignored. We may ignore what we want to convey to us. meaning.”
"はい. ②" Sakura replied.
After a while, the back door of the Hummer was opened again, and the crow got in with a bag of oranges in his hand. The middle-aged woman on the roadside outside the car door was gratefully bowing to them and thanked them. The red Highlander's The tires have been replaced with new ones, and she can safely take her children down the mountain and leave.
For a woman like her with little driving experience, without the help of a strong man like Crow, replacing a tire would be less difficult than simply calling the roadside assistance phone number, but judging from the way Sakura and the others drove there, , if the rescue team's vehicle wants to get here, I'm afraid it will have to go after night. Some bad things will always happen on the mountain roads deep in the mountains at night, especially for single mothers with several children.
"It's indeed a problem with the rear tire. The tire lost pressure after being punctured." Crow threw the bag of oranges that was forced into Yasha's arms, and Yasha picked it up in disgust and put it under the seat. He was about to say something Crow said a few words, but found that the expressions of his colleagues beside him were a little serious.
"Young Master, look at this." Crow handed something to the front seat, "It was ripped off the rear wheel of Highlander."
Yuan Zhisheng's expression changed slightly when he looked at the angular rusty metal dragging on Crow's palm. Sakura's eyes also darkened slightly after seeing it.
It was a three-legged steel nail. It was a triangular nail with four tips. No matter how it was thrown on the ground, one tip would point upward, and there would be three tips below for support. This kind of nail is an out-and-out road killer for vehicles with tires. If it is rolled over at high speed, the car will burst out of balance in an instant and be thrown out and crashed.
“Fortunately, it had rained on the mountain road, and the driver of the Highlander drove very cautiously because there was a child in the car. Therefore, after running into the tire at low speed, the tire did not burst immediately, but was embedded in the tire. I slowly released the tire pressure, which is a blessing among misfortunes." Crow said, "If we drive a little more aggressively, I'm afraid we won't be able to see these two cars now. If we want to find them again, we will have to go down the mountain. in the ruins.”
"Someone maliciously dumped these things on the mountain road, just to prevent a large number of convoys from going up the mountain." Yuan Zhisheng raised his head and glanced at the mountain road ahead and said, "It seems that the work of the advance team is not going too smoothly, and there are still many things left behind. some obstacles.”
"If the monastery really had an 'unimaginable' vicious incident as Kaguya-sama said in her report, then anything could happen on the top of the mountain. Even if the advance team has conducted a preliminary survey, there is no way to avoid the danger hidden inside, so everyone should be careful and alert, and don't treat this as a picnic or a tour of the accident site." Yuan Zhisheng said.
"Hai!" Three voices in the Hummer responded simultaneously.
The black Hummer was driving on the winding mountain road in the deep mountains of Kobe again, leaving the red Highlander SUV behind and heading towards the top of the mountain road that was winding like a snake tying up the mountain.
It was the rainy season, and it rained on the mountain road last night, so the modified black Hummer didn't dare to accelerate easily even if it had high horsepower. In addition, the triangular spikes found by the crow caused the speed of the Hummer to drop again and again. Yuan Zhisheng, the co-pilot, no longer closed his eyes to catch up on sleep, and stared at the surroundings of the road along the way, surveying the road conditions while guarding against possible attacks at any time.
They could not help but be alert. Earlier, Yuan Zhisheng, who had just completed a dangerous hybrid hunting mission in a certain college in Kamakura, received a message from Kaguya-hime. It was an urgent message directly from the main family. The head of the family ordered Yuan Zhisheng and his left and right followers to go to a monastery in the mountains of Kobe immediately.
It is called a monastery, but in fact it is a "care school". The objects of care are children who are rejected by normal schools. Problem children with violent tendencies, autism and self-harm desires are gathered in that school. At the same time, it is also a special school funded by the main family. Any child in the family who is detected to have bloodline risks will be sent to your care school in the mountains in the early years.
The children in the monastery are under 24-hour control. The nun will kiss your forehead and confess for you. The strong guards stand behind you and wait for the end of confession. Send you back to the room and tie the door with an iron chain.
Any violent incidents are completely prohibited in the monastery. The best words to describe the atmosphere here are "green lamps and ancient Buddhas". Every child has a strict schedule, from getting up to breakfast, to confession, to simple knowledge teaching, to the pitifully short time for exercise, and the rest of the time is forced back to the room to spend in a similar way of confinement.
However, such a highly managed caring school had an accident, and it happened very suddenly and cruelly. Yuan Zhisheng has not had time to understand what happened. Judging from the news sent to him by Kaguya, it must be a very bad situation, so that the law enforcement officers of the advance team described the scene in the monastery as "Senro Hell".
The law enforcement officers of the Execution Bureau have always been executioners who go in and out of the front-line battlefields. They have seen bloody scenes that challenge the limits of human endurance. Even the place they can call "Senro Hell" must be a forbidden place that living people avoid, and this forbidden place is created by those living people themselves.
Only living people can create a hell for living people. It sounds so reasonable.
The fingers bound by the silver gentian pattern ring were gently bent, holding the long sword with a blue-gray scabbard leaning against the passenger side door. The blue veins on the back of the hand holding the sword slowly swam under the skin, like a thin long snake, and as the gray sharp roof of the monastery between the trees on the top of the mountain appeared, it jumped out of the water and tightened.
No matter what happened in the monastery, Yuan Zhisheng had already made psychological preparations when he set out, guessed the enemies he might face, and was ready to suppress all possible blood and rebellion with an iron fist.
Nothing happened on the way up the mountain afterwards. The Hummer finished the 10-kilometer mountain road after nearly an hour, entered the forest path on the top of the mountain, and finally stopped in front of a tall iron gate. Behind the door was their destination for this trip-Kobe Aixin Shudo Academy.
