Chapter 172 Escape
Amidst the vibrations and shaking, white ash fell from the gaps in the ceiling and fell into the transparent glass, causing tiny ripples. The white bouquet was also stained with a few dazzling dirty whites, which revealed uncleanness. of gray and black.
Lying on the hospital bed, Ryoichi stared at the ceiling quietly. The sirens of cars on the street could be clearly heard, echoing back and forth in the empty ward, suppressing the dripping sound of the untightened faucet on the toilet sink.
The door of the ward was pushed open, and the person who walked in was not a nurse or a doctor, but a new face to this ward, but to Ryoichi, it was Isshin Miyamoto, an acquaintance whom he had not seen for a long time.
They kind of knew each other.
If he came to visit a doctor, then Miyamoto was too rude. He didn't knock on the door and didn't bring any souvenirs. He didn't even bring a bouquet of flowers. He only held a handful of flowers in his hand. The long knife sheathed by Qiu Ju and ivy looked more like he was here to play football than visiting a doctor.
As soon as Miyamoto Isshin entered the ward, Ryoichi's eyes locked on him, but after seeing clearly that the person who came was not some vicious thug, he retracted his eyes smoothly and lay quietly in the quilt with no wave of expression.
"Genji Heavy Industries has been invaded." Miyamoto looked at Ryoichi on the hospital bed and spoke: "We were attacked by a group of professional mercenaries, and some of them died."
After a long silence, Miyamoto received no reply. He looked directly at the familiar yet unfamiliar man on the bed and said, "I thought you would jump up excitedly and rush down with a weapon."
He came to invite Ryoichi to help out, but for some reason, he felt something was wrong with the raid, so he came to get reinforcements.
But the current situation was beyond his expectation.
Ryoichi turned his head to look at the thick smoke rising out of the window. His eyes seemed to have penetrated the indelible black and landed on the still clear blue sky. After a long time, he said, "I'm scared."
Genji Heavy Industries was shaken again. Dust fell between the two of them. The vague gunfire sounded like explosives. Miyamoto paused for a long time in the noise. He thought he heard it wrong just now, but he passed It took him a long time to realize that he was not wrong.
"What did you say?" Miyamoto asked.
"..."
No answer.
"Why are you afraid?" Miyamoto Yishin said. It wasn't that he didn't hear it, he just thought he heard it wrong. But now it seems that the problem is not with his ears, but with the person in front of him.
He looked at Ryoichi, trying to see on his face the man who was as proud as him before, but to his regret, he only saw fatigue floating like dead leaves on his face like a pool of stagnant water.
"Don't you understand this?" Liang turned his head and looked at the scenery outside the window: "I'm afraid of death."
It's so natural that it's impossible to refute.
Isshin Miyamoto tilted his head, waiting for the man to suddenly sit up and say, "I'm just kidding, let's go and kill someone," but the whole ward was completely silent.
If it were other people in this family, they would call him a coward, but Miyamoto Isshin did not do that. In a sense, he is the same person as Ryoichi, so he can understand this man best and know what kind of situation it is. , what kind of things happened to him to say these words.
Everyone is afraid of death, but there are always some people who can charge to the point of a knife and a gun without risking death, because they are burdened with something more terrifying than death. Miyamoto Isshin didn't see anything in Ryoichi, I only saw a body floating on the water, neither sinking nor falling, quiet and lifeless.
He sighed slightly, walked to the bed and put the knife on the table: "I heard that you and Lin Nian broke into the stronghold of the Fierce Ghosts some time ago and made a big fuss and almost died. I know that later I'm not surprised, because you have this kind of personality. The impression you left on me during the time I knew you was not good. You were so eager for success and quick success, as if you were trying to sharpen your head."
".So I didn't like you at first. I never liked you very much, but until today I realized that I was wrong, I was so wrong."
People always live for something.
After all, it is for someone to get ahead, someone to work hard for, someone to praise, someone to approve of, someone to come home and sit on the sofa after life and death, planning for her how big a single-family house they will move to in the future. She lives in front of a garden of dozens of square meters, and there is a swimming pool in the garden that reflects the blue sky. She will laugh when she hears it, and the smile will heal her heart that was originally full of cracks, and she will regain the fighting spirit and grit her teeth. Fight, fight, and strive to become a human being.
Can't Yakuza have dreams? When the boy kneeling in front of the old man Kuro Hazhi in front of Ginza started questioning him hysterically, the old man only said calmly that people in our field all want to get ahead, and everyone has different dreams. How many dreams have you prepared to break? , and then what about reinvention?
The boy was still young and young at that time. He did not understand this question and did not think about it. When his dream was really shattered in front of him with the light of fire, he understood the thoughts that emerged in his mind that day in the clear sky. Look at the old man's dark eyes.
This is the road to success that he took the initiative to embark on. He saw the old people of the Sheqi Eighth Family sitting on the high platform sipping the beauty of power, but he did not see the broken things buried by time under the beauty of the old people. of treasures.
He doesn't even have a dream, so how can he get ahead?
He came from the earth, and now he is willing to return to the earth and be forgotten forever.
"Someone has to remember her." Ryoichi's voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.
Miyamoto looked directly into Ryoichi's eyes, and the two of them looked at each other without averting their eyes. It was only when he really couldn't find a glimmer of light in those once wolf-like eyes that he finally knew that the person he had known before The boy who was roaring and about to hit the enemy's knife was dead.
"People always change." Miyamoto nodded: "I understand you, it's not easy for anyone in this industry. I'm sorry for your loss."
After he said that, he turned around and walked away without stopping for a moment, and Ryoichi didn't make any move.
"The people who attacked my family are from Okinawa. Most of these people are a mob, but the real assassins lurking in the dark are the biggest problem." When they reached the door, Miyamoto Isshin's heavy voice slowly floated: "One of the assassins has the word spirit of 'Holy Judgment'."
After saying that, the door to the ward was closed, leaving Ryoichi alone on the bed. He looked at the ceiling and closed his eyes, sighing softly.
You forgot your knife, he wanted to say, but he didn't say it.
The Miyamoto family's heirloom sword "Izumi Mori Kanesada" was placed on the bedside table. Half of the scabbard fell into the sunlight slanting in through the window, and half of it was reflected in Ryoichi's eyes.

"Hurry up, we don't have much time. We only have less than half an hour before we find out that we are acting privately." After leaving the VIP suite, which was monitored at all times, Lin Nian finally began to speak freely.
"Half an hour? Junior brother, are you racing? After such a severe explosion and vibration, the elevator in the building should have been out of service long ago, right? It takes us fifteen minutes to climb the stairs to more than thirty floors. It's not possible to go back and forth. Only half an hour?" Mandy frightenedly dragged the three commissioners who were collapsed at the door to the room and put them away, then gently closed the door.
"Who said we were going down?
After all, Lin Nian took action. It only took him a second from opening the door to knocking down the three commissioners. This was not easy. Even if his speech spirit was 'Snap', it would not be easy. The three members of our executive bureau Each of the commissioners is an elite among the elites who have been carefully selected by Yuan Zhisheng. Each of them has more than fifty mission experiences in the executive bureau.
Having been warned in advance that the person under house arrest who they were guarding was a 'Setsuna', the three of them had already prepared no less than dozens of ways to intercept them. Their Kotōrei was also a type with unique skills that could slightly restrain Setsuna, such as " "Ghost" is a word spirit that can temporarily eliminate the sense of existence. No matter how fast the 'Setsuna' user is, it will be in vain to find the target.
To put it bluntly, even if they couldn't stop Lin Nian, they could still notify the surveillance team of the news in an instant - all they needed to do was yell to let the surveillance team know that something was wrong.
But after all, we still missed one thing. Even the top information collection machine Kaguya didn't record this news.
The person who opened the door was not Lin Nian but Mandy, who looked harmless. The three commissioners at that time poked their heads in and saw Lin Nian playing with his mobile phone on the sofa. His vigilance dropped by half. It was at this moment of relaxation that he The invisible realm opened instantly, and the movements of the three people in front of Mandy suddenly slowed down as if they had stopped. While she was shocked by the horror of Time Zero, she also quickly solved this airtight defense with three heavy neck splits.
There was a violent outburst, time was zero, and the domain was shared.
Violent Blood is a dangerous skill, and Lin Nian shouldn't use it indiscriminately, but after gaining complete control, it was like opening Pandora's Box. Once he tasted the power, he could never look back. At least at this stage, he couldn't feel it. The initial violent outburst had too great a negative impact on him.
If you can't use it to death, use it to death.
If before coming to the Japanese branch, Lin Nian was still a mild-mannered boy with no desires, then what emerged from his shell now was a true "S"-level hybrid full of desire for power.
Is this also part of your plan... Principal Angers.
"We are on the thirty-third floor now, and we have to go up five or six floors." In the corridor, Lin Nian threw the loaded Glock that he had removed from the guard to Mandy, and walked quickly with a fruit knife twirling on his fingertips. In the corridor on the thirty-third floor,
"What do you mean by going up?" Mandy didn't understand Lin Nian's intention.
"I have to do something." Lin Nian glanced at Mandy: "So I have to enter Kaguya's computer room for the time being."
Mandy's expression froze instantly: "Junior brother, I was really joking just now."
She thought Lin Nian was going to blow up the computer room.
"But I'm not kidding." Lin Nian said lightly.
ps: I didn’t update yesterday. I only updated one chapter today. The reason is that there are some glitches and I feel like I can’t write anything good. After all, my personal habit is not to write when I don’t feel like it. Instead, I watch movies, anime, play games, and watch some anime to relax. I would rather update less than update the word count randomly. When it comes to writing, I only write good things. If I can’t hold it in, I’d rather not write until I feel it.
ps: Of course it won’t be too late, it just needs to be done right.
