Chapter 188 Uesugi Eriyi (Part 2) 2-in-1, Please Subscribe!
The "ghost" who was born in the darkness finally tried his best to die in the sunshine.
She knew very well that it was a lie that was going to kill her, but at the end of her life, she actually borrowed a ray of warmth from the lie as a ray of light in her dark life and the final redemption of her miserable life.
It turns out that "ghosts" yearn for light more than people... It's really ridiculous.
Yuan Zhisheng lowered the curtain, and the last trace of skylight was blocked. He immersed himself in pitch darkness, imagining that he was a ghost born in eternal night. No color could be seen as far as his eyes could see. The rich darkness enveloped him, and no light could penetrate into his life.
He stretched out his hand and waved gently in the darkness. He didn't know what was in front of him or what was behind him. He took a slight step and bumped into the corner of the table. He took two steps back and bumped into the coffin. The air was colder than ever. , as if it has penetrated from the skin to the bones... It turns out that this is how it feels to be born in the dark, walking on thin ice and struggling.
Even Amaterasu cannot illuminate anyone in a place without a trace of light... Yuan Zhisheng suddenly thought of someone, with the same plaintive and sad tone, and the same face as beautiful as snow.
When the woman was dying, behind her, he seemed to see a shadow that had traveled through ten years. From the perspective of a bystander, he quietly watched the woman ask herself questions through her sad life. The corners of the shadow's mouth were full of Cool sarcasm.
This was like a long-standing plan. Someone found Noyuki Miyamoto who was living in the darkness, and then gave her a gentle push behind her, asking her to rush to her hometown of birth and use it as her tomb. , he naturally met this woman who chased light and warmth... The meeting between Amaterasu's destiny and the wandering "ghost" seemed to be an arrangement of fate... But everything was designed, and some people regarded a woman's life as Make a proposition and let Yuan Zhisheng explain it.
But this proposition is inherently deadlocked.
A snake-like electric arc suddenly flashed through the clouds in the sky, followed closely by violent thunder. Scattered raindrops slapped hard on the glass of the porthole. In the pale electric light, Yuan Zhishi's shadow was reflected on the dark curtain, like a person emerging from the void, a soul returning from the netherworld. A "ghost" buried deep in his memory but firmly rooted in his mind!
The curtains were swaying by the wind blowing through the cracks in the windows, and the shadows on the curtains undulated, as if they were dancing a sad and world-weary dance.
Yuan Zhi stared at the curtain, the shadow floating in the wind was extremely enchanting. It was obviously his reflection, but it looked more like another person.
The muscles all over his body were tense, and he subconsciously grasped the ancient sword Spider Cheri beside him, but he forgot that he stumbled and moved several times in the dark, and reached out to grab the blade. The sharp blade cut his hand. , blood suddenly appeared from the fingertips.
The violent pain made him wake up in an instant. Yuan Zhisheng held his breath. The heavy rain was still falling outside the window, and thunder was rolling in the distant sky. There was only deathly silence and rich darkness in the room. In the darkness, he stood alone, looking around at no one.
He stood in the darkness in silence for a long time, then breathed a long sigh of relief and let out the gloomy sorrow and undetectable fear accumulated in his chest. He wiped off the blood on the floor, and the wounds on his hands had begun to scab. He cut the spider back into the black sheath, put on a black pattern and walked out of the darkness.
The leader of the entire Japanese underworld is waiting for him. Yuan Zhisheng knows how important today's meeting is to the family. This will be a fork in the road that will determine the fate and future of the family. If he chooses the right one, the Snake Qiba family will usher in a new chapter. Eternal prosperity and stability, if you make the wrong choice, blood will flow into the sea, and destruction will only occur in an instant.
With just one thought, everything stops.
Yuan Zhisheng drank the last sip of soju and cleared his mind of distracting thoughts. Ghosts were just ghosts. The dead could not return to the human world no matter what. He could not let his wild thoughts go.
He is the young head of the Sheqiba family and the family's law enforcer. The law enforcer's task is to kill ghosts, and distracting thoughts will affect the speed of drawing the sword. Amaterasu's mission is to illuminate the world. He will cut off all evil spirits and their tragic fate.
…
"The young master has finished entertaining the commissioner of the headquarters and is changing clothes. He will be there later." After entering the hall, Crow and Yaksha bowed deeply to the old man on the throne, and then walked back to their seats in small steps. Holding on to the wide sleeves of her kimono, for fear that her movements would be too loud and cause noise, the burly Yasha walked with delicate steps, looking like a shy lady, and looked funny.
But no one cared about Yasha's funny appearance at this moment. The distinguished cadres sitting in the front row looked forward one by one, like warriors about to go on an expedition, with perseverance in their eyes and swords hidden in their hearts. The family members of the major families with slightly more ordinary status looked down at their knees, like warriors waiting to be dispatched.
If the background sound is changed from the spoken lines of "Ultraman Tega" to the war song of beating drums, the atmosphere will be more fitting.
Minamoto entered quietly from the side, secretly knelt down behind the head of the Uesugi family, watched Ultraman with her for a few minutes quietly, then stretched out his hand and said softly: "Eri, I'll see you later." Not good?" He tried to take the tablet that was playing the highlight clips from the opponent's hand.
The head of the Uesugi family quickly pressed the pause button and protected the tablet in his wide sleeves, like a kitten guarding its food. He turned his head and stared at Yuan Zhisheng seriously, with a glimmer of vigilance in his big and smart eyes.
"There's a meeting. Can I accompany you after the meeting?" Yuan Zhisheng asked softly. His tone and look were neither harsh nor coaxing, but more like an elder brother's inquiry-like discussion with his younger sister.
The head of the Uesugi family looked at Minamoto Zhisheng with suspicion, and his arm protecting the tablet relaxed slightly.
"In addition, I will accompany you to fight the King of Fighters. You will use Chunli and I will use Long." Yuan Zhi followed the instructions without any hint of impatience on his expression.
The head of the Uesugi family nodded with satisfaction. She rarely had such a well-behaved side, but she seemed to trust Yuan Zhisheng unconditionally. Gen Zhisheng took the opportunity to pull the tablet out of the arms of the head of the Uesugi family. Looking at the girl's reluctant eyes, he nodded lovingly, then returned to his seat and handed the tablet to the crow behind him.
Crow took the tablet and took the opportunity to glance at the screen.
On the screen, "Ultraman Tiga" was playing to the end of the twenty-seventh episode, and the scene was frozen in the scene where the monster Orbik stared at the phantom of the village.
The crow slanted across the screen so that Yaksha could catch a glimpse of it. He stretched out his index finger, middle finger and rubbed his thumb. This action represented "Money" between the two of them, which meant "your money belongs to me."
Yasha was not angry even after losing the money, but just a little sad. He reluctantly asked in a low voice: "How do you know Miss Eriki is watching the twenty-seventh episode? The opening song was only halfway through when we made the bet."
"Of course I know. I'm smarter than you. Why am I the master's strategist and not you? Because your brain is not as good as mine." Crow grinned and won 400,000 yen with just a move of his mouth. He was very satisfied. The key is still He was even happier if he won it from Yasha.
He was able to win the bet because he knew that the head of the Uesugi family loved watching this episode the most. When time was short, he would pick one of the episodes to watch and it would most likely be this episode. Minamoto told him in private that he often accompanied him Rie Toe watched this episode over and over again.
Crow has also watched the entire series of "Ultraman Tiga", but that was when he was a child, and the plot of each episode has long been forgotten. Out of curiosity, he picked out the twenty-seventh episode to review Read it again.
Then he unexpectedly discovered this touching episode that he had ignored back then. Since then, he has revisited it several times in private.
The monster Obik, formerly known as "Master Ayan", has lived in Hikono Street since a long time ago. He is not good at bright environments and often moves in the dark. The voice of "Come and play with Obik" is often called from behind people's backs, and those who turn around are put into the pot leading to the well. The male guest eating nearby became a victim, and his hair turned white due to fear, making people afraid.
In fact, everything originated from the development of modern civilization, which gradually disappeared the original appearance of his residence, and Obik's village was developed into a health paradise. Since then, he has disguised himself as a soba vendor and attacked passers-by with his partner Shadow Mage at night, creating strange stories about Obik.
"This is the last night, let us play to our heart's content!" Obik said on the dying day.
On the last night, Obik was attacked by members of the Victory Team inside the ancient well and found his residence. The team members saw Obik dancing and shouted like crazy: "The old village, the old village is back!"
He was going crazy and roaring, like a child crying with joy after regaining a treasure.
But Dagu told him: "Obik, that is not the village before!".
"If this is not the old village, then I will destroy it!" Obik became huge and his anger surged into the sky.
It wasn't until the decisive battle with Tiga that Obike realized that Dagu's words were true, and the previous village could no longer go back... He shed tears of fire, and at the last moment he looked at the phantom of the village, Then he was deliberately killed by Tiga... In this way, Obike returned to the darkness together with the peaceful village in the past.
"Actually, Obik wants people to remember the old village and everyone to remember him." At the end of the story, Xincheng said this to Dagu.
In fact, if Minamoto stopped it, the head of the Uesugi family had no intention of continuing to play the video. The girl never told anyone why she liked this episode. She likes the monster Obik, so she doesn't want him to die, so every time the video plays to Obik staring at the phantom of the village, the girl will press the pause button in time.
She let the story stop at this moment, so that Obik could see the old village with satisfaction and not have to die... The girl was secretly happy, as if she had helped a friend who was living in a phantom.
"Sorry for being late. I just sent the commissioner of the headquarters to the hotel. I came here after taking a shower and changing clothes." Yuan Zhisheng tidied his clothes, stood up, and bowed deeply, his words and etiquette were flawless.
The old man at the main seat looked at him, nodded slightly, and clapped softly. After a few seconds, everyone followed suit, and the applause of hundreds of people stacked together was like thunder, as if they were going to knock off the roof of the temple.
Yuan Zhisheng is also present, which means that the family meeting has officially started. There is no need to deliberately restrain your tone and actions during the meeting. Otherwise, you can only talk in whispers in the main hall that can accommodate hundreds of people. The meeting will probably be difficult to end in a week. . I believe the sleeping heroic spirits of our ancestors can understand.
"Should I say that I am worthy of being a young master?" Crow clapped his hands and sighed.
"Only the young master has such appeal. There was no such warm applause even when Mr. Masamune was here. The young master is worthy of being the man appointed to inherit the family." Yasha clapped vigorously, and the applause could even make the ears of those nearby ringing. , he alone contributed a large part to the enthusiastic applause of the audience.
"That's right. The man who inherits the family must have a drinking capacity as big as the sea. After being lazy and drinking, he can still be so serious when lying." Crow said with admiration.
"It's good to come back. It's such a stormy day and you have to personally receive the commissioners of the headquarters. You have to attend the family gathering right away when you come back. You don't even have a chance to breathe. It's really hard on you." Tachibana Masamune raised his hand to Yuan Zhisheng. She gestured for him to sit down with a soft press, and there was a hint of pride and distress for her child in her words.
Yuan Zhisheng shook his head slightly, sat down at the table representing the Yuan family, and the meeting began. Everyone's eyes shifted from the young head of the family to the head of the family. The old man on the throne looked around the hall. Everyone in the hall seemed to be noticed by him. He straightened his feather fabric and suddenly Stand up, retreat to the front of the main hall, bow deeply to everyone in the hall.
Everyone was astonished. Some elders in the family were so shocked that they could not speak. They quickly stood up and bowed down. Seeing that their elders were in such a state, the back rowers followed suit and bowed down. They wished they could bury their heads in the tatami. As time passed, countless figures in black fell one after another, as if a dark wave was rolling up.
This is not a great gift that they deserve. Even the masters cannot afford such a great gift from everyone. The eight Sheqi families have absolutely strict qualifications and status, and the rules are as strict as iron. The qualifications and status of the head of the family are absolutely at the top, just like the emperors in ancient times, and they are all ministers... How can an emperor bend down to his ministers? What are the rules for giving a big gift?
Such actions by the parents can only explain one thing. Today's meeting is not just about the development direction of the family and the underworld plan. The topics they will face are definitely related to the future and destiny of the family. It may be that the Sheqi Eight Family has never been there since its birth. There have been serious situations.
"Dad..." Yuan Zhisheng looked at the old man who had been reluctant to get up for a long time and murmured on his lips. He has never seen Masamune's father behave like this, but he is probably the only person in the scene who knows the truth. Soon, there will be an uproar in the Japanese underworld, and even outside the underworld.
The war between law enforcers and "ghosts" is about to begin. Human beings will overstep the boundaries of gods and even bury gods.
