Chapter 900 Ezo Tribe
Judging from the current situation, Shimazu Hiromichi and Muto Masao's "cleaning up" work is quite good. At least they have not heard that other forces plan to take action against them.
As for the abandoned villa area, Shimazu Nakano later sent people to check it out, and found that the entire abandoned villa area had been razed to the ground, and the door to Fantasyland had been cast into a huge cement pillar. .
Although surveillance cameras on nearby roads were called, no suspicious vehicles were found going to the villa area.
But one thing can be inferred from this - Ii Naole and Liu Xuyu are not alone.
So Shimazu Nakano began to find someone to investigate the secret church where Ii Naoraku was a member of back then, to see what was missing in that secret church.
Finally, and what Liu Xing is most concerned about, is what is the use of the remaining items in the safe.
The first is a pair of jade bracelets, because the origin of this pair of jade bracelets is very important. It is said that they were brought back from the Tang Dynasty by a certain envoy to the Tang Dynasty. Their function is also very simple - they can ward off evil spirits.
Jade can ward off evil spirits.
This sentence has been passed down from ancient times to this day, but its authenticity has yet to be verified. However, in this parallel world with the Cthulhu mythology as the background, some jades can indeed play a certain role in warding off evil spirits - allowing certain people to ward off evil spirits. Weak mythical creatures cannot approach.
"It is said that after the envoy to the Tang Dynasty returned to the island country, he gave this pair of jade bracelets to his wife. A few days later, because he wanted to celebrate his father's birthday, his wife met a man while passing by a cemetery. A ghoul attacked, but the ghoul ran away after seeing the pair of jade bracelets." Yin En said while holding an apple, "Later, when the pair of jade bracelets fell into the hands of a secret church, So I found mythical creatures for testing, and finally found that some mythical creatures with average strength would feel fear when they saw the pair of jade bracelets, while the powerful mythical creatures were unmoved."
"More importantly, this pair of jade bracelets must be in pairs to be effective, because these pair of jade bracelets should be blessed together by a powerful mage, so if they are separated, the blessing effect will be lost. Disappear; in addition, this pair of jade bracelets can also nourish people. As long as they are worn for a long time, they can improve their physical fitness and restore their spirits. So if you were not worried that Liu Xing would break this pair of jade bracelets if you moved too much while dreaming, these two days We won't just put this pair of jade bracelets on your bedside table." Zhang Jingxu added.
Liu Xing looked back and found that the pair of jade bracelets were indeed on the bedside table.
It seems that this pair of jade bracelets is really a treasure.
"As for the flintlock gun, it's very interesting, because that flintlock gun was actually a replica made by the leader of a secret church decades ago for his personal hobby. However, that secret church was later annexed by other secret churches. , many things were lost because of this, and the flintlock gun was sold as a handicraft, but the person who bought the flintlock gun was a pretty good onmyoji. The idea was to modify the flintlock gun so that it could fire some special projectiles with various magic effects. To put it bluntly, it changed the flintlock gun from physical damage to magic damage." Yin Enchong He took out the flintlock gun from his waist.
"It's a pity that we didn't find matching projectiles. It would be quite troublesome to make it ourselves, so this flintlock gun can only be placed in the living room as a decoration." Ding Kun said with some pity.
Yin En nodded, holding the flintlock gun and said: "Yes, but even with the matching projectiles, this flintlock gun is just a big toy, because the effective distance and shooting accuracy of the flintlock gun are too poor. , and the firing interval of each projectile is also very long. The most important thing is that the damage of those special projectiles may not be as high as pistol bullets, so this flintlock gun is fine for fun at ordinary times, but if it really wants to be taken to the battlefield, it is for I can’t find happiness on my own.”
"Where's the snuff bottle?" Liu Xing asked.
Zhang Jingxu pointed to the living room and said: "Like the flintlock gun in Yin En's hand, that snuff bottle can only be regarded as a collection, because its function is to allow the snuff (powder) put in it to (shaped smokeless tobacco) produces a hypnotic effect. To put it bluntly, it allows users to smoke a bottle of snuff before going to bed, and then they can have a good sleep. Therefore, this snuff bottle is now placed on the counter as a decoration, and it looks good. Quite good looking."
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "In that case, the things left in the safe were not that Ii Naole and Liu Xuyu didn't have time to take them away, but that they were too lazy to take them away?"
"That's right, except for the pair of jade bracelets, the flintlock gun and the snuff bottle are useless to Ii Naole and Liu Xuyu. As for the embroidered shoe, it's almost the same, because as long as they can't control the embroidered shoe , then that embroidered shoe is also useless." Zhang Wenbing nodded and said.
Liu Xing thought for a while and asked curiously: "Speaking of which, what did you do with that embroidered shoe?"
"That embroidered shoe was taken away by Shimadzu Nakano. They said it was going to be sent for a comprehensive inspection to see where the embroidered shoe came from and whether there was a way to copy it. If it can be copied, then we can report it to the public. Airdropping a batch of embroidered shoes to the faction's territory will soon plunge the public faction's territory into chaos, although the current public faction is already in chaos." Zhang Jingxu said with gloating.
It turned out that earlier today, two small secret churches under the public faction had a conflict, and ended up fighting on the streets of Tokyo.
The most important thing is that their identities at this time are members of a certain security company, and the current mission of this security company is to ensure the safety of the Tokyo area.
You must know that ordinary police officers in Tokyo have been transferred to surrounding areas to "pacify the masses", so this security company is currently responsible for maintaining public order in Tokyo. . . Of course, the Samurai faction also established corresponding security companies and took over major cities such as Osaka.
So when these two small secret churches got angry and started a street shootout, the situation spiraled out of control, eventually leading to the death of more than a dozen people on the spot, including two ordinary citizens who were hit by stray bullets.
Now the public faction is facing great pressure from public opinion, but the internal problems have still not been resolved, because the two small secret churches have found their "big brothers" and want to "discuss" each other.
Therefore, according to the undercover report of Shimadzu Nakano who was assigned to the public faction, the internal affairs of the public faction have become a mess, and some small-scale friction incidents will occur from time to time.
However, this can be regarded as a wake-up call to the samurai faction. Therefore, although the Oda family and other forces still feel that something is wrong with the Tokushima incident, they no longer put the problem in the open and asked Shimazu Hiromichi and Muto Masao to come up with more information. Lots of evidence to prove yourself.
Of course, the Oda family and other forces are still investigating the Tokushima incident.
"Okay, Liu Xing, do you want to get up and move around now?" Yin En asked.
Liu Xing nodded. He had been sleeping for several days now and it was time to get up and do some exercise.
Because Liu Xing seemed to have nothing to do, Zhang Jingxu and others went to do their own business, leaving only Sonoda Zhuri to accompany Liu Xing for a walk in the back garden.
As for Alice, she found a new job after returning to Osaka - the leader of the foreign working group of the Wu family faction, responsible for coordinating and arranging the tasks performed by foreigners in the Wu family faction.
Of course, these foreigners are basically players, because these players are the only ones who will come to the island country as foreign friends to participate in the civil war, so Yin En and others are very supportive of Alice becoming a member of this working group. After all, you can grasp the dynamics of these players, and you can also use them to do some small things.
In the back garden, Liu Xing did not forget to ask Sonoda Zhuri about other situations during this period.
"Actually, not much happened during this period, except for some small-scale riots in Hokkaido." Juri Sonoda sighed and said, "Liu Xing, you should also know the situation in Hokkaido, because There are almost no strong families there, so after the Kōwu War began, Hokkaido was not like other regions where people stood up to take control of one side, so many interested people began to cause trouble in Hokkaido."
Liu Xing nodded. Due to some historical reasons, Hokkaido has always been regarded as a wild and cold place. Therefore, although the Hokkaido area is not small, few families are willing to develop in the Hokkaido area. Therefore, the Hokkaido area has always been regarded as the largest island country. One of the backward areas, it has only been officially developed in the past one or two hundred years.
Again, the big families in the island country still control one-third of their own land, so after the Gongwu War began, those areas that were not under the direct jurisdiction of the Gongjia faction and the Wujia faction basically had local The big family stepped forward to ensure that everything in the local area could continue to operate normally.
However, Hokkaido lacks such families who have the ability to stand up, so many monsters and ghosts take advantage of the opportunity to come out and cause trouble for their own benefit.
As a result, troubles occur in the Hokkaido area every three days, and it is difficult for the public factions close to the Hokkaido area to send people to solve the problem, because they are now managing the Hokkaido area with an unjust name and inconsistent words, and it is easy for the samurai faction to seize the opportunity to initiate public opinion .
Therefore, the Hokkaido area has now become a three-no-no area. . .
"Miss Sawada received a piece of news two days ago, saying that another organization has emerged in Hokkaido. I don't know whether it is a secret church. They claim that they have received the oracle from the gods of the Ezo tribe and plan to establish a secret church in Hokkaido. Re-establish a country belonging to the Ezo tribe." Sonoda Juri sighed again.
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, shook his head and said, "Eni tribe? This is another bad debt."
The Ezo tribe was originally an indigenous ethnic group of the island country. They originally lived mainly in the northeastern region of Honshu Island. However, a long time ago, they were defeated by the Yamato tribe, the current main ethnic group of the island country, and the remaining tribesmen were forced to migrate to the Hokkaido area. This It can be regarded as one of the reasons why the families in the island country are unwilling to go to Hokkaido, because the Ezo tribe is also a cannibal!
No one wants to be neighbors with a bunch of cannibals
So in modern times, the emergence of firearms ended the cold weapon age and allowed the Ezo tribe to officially "join" the island nation. However, when the Ezo tribe got mixed up with the down-and-out samurai who were forced to come to Hokkaido to make a living, the Hokkaido region still It was a mess for many years.
Although the Ezo tribe has been fully integrated into the island nation's system now, if someone makes trouble in the name of the Ezo tribe, it will indeed be a troublesome thing, because the problems between the island nation and the Ezo tribe are just like Problems between the American Lighthouse Nation and the Indians.
"Yes, now I heard that the public faction plans to send people to discuss the Hokkaido issue with us, and Shimazu Nakano also held a meeting about this two days ago. Everyone thinks that the Hokkaido area cannot continue to be chaotic, because the public military To put it bluntly, the war is still an internal issue, and we must not allow some young people to take advantage of the opportunity to profit, and..." Sonoda Juri hesitated to speak.
Seeing this, Liu Xing smiled and said, "If nothing else happens, there should be someone from the American Lighthouse Nation behind the organization that wants to rebuild the Ezo nation."
"Yes, after investigation, we found that the organization is indeed supported by the American Lighthouse State, because the organization's bank account has recently received a lot of external remittances. The most important thing is that there are already many in the Hokkaido area. So-called non-governmental organizations, and these non-governmental organizations are, to put it bluntly, the white gloves of the American Lighthouse State. They are nominally self-financing non-governmental organizations. In fact, more than 80% of the funds for their activities are directly funded by the American Lighthouse State. Yes." Sonoda Zhuri nodded and said.
Liu Xing couldn't help but shake his head and smile. He didn't expect that the American Lighthouse State would still want to cause trouble. It seems that they are still unwilling to withdraw their troops from the island country, and they even resorted to such a trick.
etc.
Liu Xing suddenly thought of something, frowned and asked: "By the way, Zhu Li, do you know where Masayoshi Muto is now?"
"Masayoshi Muto?"
Sonoda Zhuri quickly understood what Liu Xing meant and pulled Liu Xing back: "Let's go find Chen Ducking now. She should know where Muto Masayoshi is now."
Fortunately, Chen Ducking was working with Alice at this time, so Liu Xing and Sonoda Zhuri found her quickly.
"Muto Masayoshi? I heard Ryuzaki say a few days ago that his father has decided not to participate in the election and is going to go directly back to the American Lighthouse Country to avoid the limelight." Chen Fuping thought for a while and said.
