Chapter 185 Family Meeting
"Everyone, everyone has arrived. There are thirty-four elders such as Shi Zhouzhai, Dan Shengyan, and Zuo Shanbu from the Strategic Department, heads of the Liaison Department and their subordinates, one hundred and thirty-four people from the Five Xiaozong family, and Kasai The Japanese branch of Seoul Academy has 19 heads and team leaders of the Kanto branch, 17 branch heads and team leaders of the Kansai branch, 14 people from the Rock Flow Research Institute, and 7 people from the Maruyama Construction Works...a total of 440 people. here."
The secretary in black presented the roster to the silver-haired old man.
"Mr. Masamune, please take a look."
"Let's begin." Mr. Masamune nodded and stood up.
The secretary retired, Mr. Masamune adjusted his kimono, took a few steps back, and bowed deeply.
The eight Sheqi families follow the ancient system. Mr. Masamune is the head of the family and has a noble status. Usually, the younger generations do not even have the chance to see him. They will be grateful if he is "summoned" by him. The arrogant and domineering leader of the group is Mr. Masamune. His office is also as docile as a sheep. It would be a great honor to be praised by Mr. Masamune.
Such a noble person actually saluted them. Elderly people in the family immediately bowed down and the younger generations also followed suit.
Except for the head of the Uesugi family, the expressions of the other family heads became more and more solemn. They realized that today's issue may have a huge impact on the future of the eight Sheqi families.
Just like the calm before the storm, the black kimono is like the thick black clouds under the storm. The more humble and tactful Mr. Masamune is at this moment, the more overwhelming the next topic will be.
"I have been the head of the family for more than ten years." Mr. Masamune stood up. "In the past ten years, I have been fortunate to know you all and be recognized by you. I have lived these years without any regrets. Thanks to everyone's care, I can barely maintain this family. , many things were not done perfectly, causing trouble for you all.”
"Mr. Masamune is taking care of us," said the head of the Feng Mo family.
"Mr. Masamune is taking care of us!" Everyone said in unison.
"I'm sorry to have to call you to the meeting so late. I believe everyone knows how much territory we have lost and how many family members have died in the past ten years. Every year I wear a black kimono to attend many people's funerals. Wearing black sunglasses to cover up the sadness during the funeral." Mr. Masamune looked sad, "Our family is much stronger than before, but our enemies are also becoming stronger. We have never been able to defeat them, and today, we lost two more people. A precious family member."
"Just tonight, Tamamo-mae was attacked." Mr. Masamune said: "The goddaughter of the head of the Inuyama family, Inuyama Yuka, was bitten off the head by the dead servant. She died without a complete body. The guard of the separated family, Inuyama Ryo, was Deadpool's claws pierced his heart, and several Deadpools cannibalized him, and when we found him, we couldn't even find a complete piece to put him back together."
"Yu Xiang was still a 20-year-old young girl who was not yet married. She was just as young as a flower, but she was buried in her hometown. Liang was also a good boy who had been conscientiously contributing to the family. Let us mourn for the two deceased people. "Mr. Masamune stood quietly with his head bowed.
Everyone bowed their heads and stood in silence to express their deep condolences.
Even the head of the Uesugi family put down his cell phone.
She has also attended funerals in the past. She is always very sensitive to the word "death". It is probably only at this time that she will show the maturity consistent with her age.
The silence in this hall reached the extreme. Everyone was mourning the two deceased people. Death is really a sad thing. The person who once laughed turned into a cold corpse. Although most people present were the first I heard these two names for the first time, but everyone mourned from the bottom of their hearts.
You can imagine the scene just from Mr. Masamune's description. It was like a small animal crushed by a car, with its internal organs falling to the cold floor. Maybe Liang didn't die immediately and watched those monsters gnaw at his body. Flesh and blood, what a hellish scene it was.
And Miss Yuxiang, she was supposed to be dancing on the dance floor in beautiful clothes. Maybe she could meet a lover in a few years and have a husband and children at home, but all of this will never happen again.
Her life is forever fixed at the age of 20, and she will never have the chance to experience anything in the future.
Her relatives and friends can only see her voice and appearance through electronic devices and printed photos.
How much hardship does it take to raise a child for twenty years? How much hope is contained in it? How should her parents face this tragic news?
There are some things that no amount of money can make up for, such as life.
During these three minutes, everyone held their breath to bid farewell to the deceased and pray for the living in front of the ancestors' mourning hall.
"Tokyo is our base. It has always been occupied by us and has never been attacked by the fierce ghosts." Mr. Masamune whispered: "This is the first time that we have lost a family member in our own territory."
His solemn face was covered with wrinkles, he was calm and dignified, exuding the majesty of an elder.
Some young juniors couldn't help but clenched their fists when they heard his words.
"Many people here know that I was not born in Japan. Many years ago, I got off the plane and set foot on this land. It was raining outside, the wind was wet and cold, and it was cold to the bones. When I set off, I never thought that I would be beaten by everyone. It is an unexpected honor for me to be elected as the head of the family, but I did not shoulder the responsibility of the head of the family well. The family encountered many crises, but I was helpless and we lost many compatriots."
"This is not your responsibility, Mr. Masamune. You have taken the lead in fighting against the fierce ghosts. Without you, the family will only be in more danger." The head of the Feng Mo family said.
Mr. Masamune waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down first.
Then he bowed deeply and apologized before sitting down in his seat.
"The family has always been burdened with a heavy fate. For thousands of years, this fate has been binding us like shackles. Our ancestors have launched crusade against the fierce ghosts several times, but in the end, they will still grow like weeds in the new world. Growing up in the era. Because of the 'God-given blood', each of us has the possibility of becoming a ghost."
Mr. Masamune's deep voice echoed in the main hall like an ancient bell.
"I believe everyone is familiar with ghosts. You may even have relatives who have become ghosts. The blood of God gives us more power than other hybrids, but it also brings more instability."
"In the past, the battle between the Eight Sheqi Family and the Fierce Ghosts was limited to Japan, but now, they have extended their hands beyond their jurisdiction."
Mr. Masamune said seriously:
"'White', they gave this evolutionary medicine this name. The analysis results from the Yanliu Research Institute have come out. That medicine does have the effect of stimulating dragon blood, and can even activate gene expression to become a semi-invisible hybrid bloodline. .
The secret party thought this was a potion developed to create Deadpool, but we all know that it was developed to allow hybrids to evolve into true dragons. "
Everyone was silent, and the air seemed to turn into lead, weighing heavily on the body.
“We can sit here just because we are lucky enough that our natural bloodlines are more stable, and children with unstable bloodlines will be put on the monitoring list from an early age.
From then on he is no longer one of our compatriots, but will be sent to the family's foster home or boarding school. He will not be allowed to stand in the sun again until he passes the test. Only one person can visit these every year. Children, this person is not their parents, but the law enforcer of the family. "
Mr. Masamune sighed.
"What is the difference between us and them? The difference is just that we had better luck at birth. If we were not lucky, we would be the ones in the cage, and they would be sitting here. This is how ghosts are born, they should be They are our family members, but because of a little bit of luck, they have become our enemies."
"Mr. Masamune, this is a curse that has existed in the family since ancient times." The head of the Sakurai family said.
"Yes, the Sheqi family is cursed, and they will always struggle with their own shadows, but who can kill their own shadows? As long as we continue to reproduce from generation to generation, new ghosts will always appear in the descendants, and ghosts will gather in Together we are the Fierce Ghosts. Maybe they will change their name to another name in the future, but they will always be behind us."
Mr. Masamune said softly: "This is our fate. Such a fate is undoubtedly sad. We have to raise the butcher knife to our compatriots. From the birth of the Sheqi Eight Family, it is to guard the Dragon Gate and never Allowing the blood of dragons to taint our family.”
"'White', this is an English word, literally translated as white, which represents the evolutionary medicine of white." Mr. Masamune suddenly said: "Our blood is inherited from the white king. For thousands of years, we have been hiding this The secret, and now, the fierce ghosts have broken the ancient contract and want to make this secret public to the world. They even created a Deadpool that is exactly the same as the corpse guard in the myth!"
"Who gave them such confidence?"
There was silence below.
"We have been silent for too long, and we don't even know how far our enemies have grown." Mr. Masamune looked around, "In the past three years, three institutions have been studying deep submersibles that can dive to the bottom of the Japan Trench, and this Each of the three institutions has financial support from the fierce ghost crowd!"
"That's the sealed place! They can't go back there!" After a long silence, the head of the Feng Mo Family spoke.
"We all believe that it is a sealed place, a divine burial place, a place sealed by Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi, but the fierce ghosts have always believed in the existence of the Road to the Underworld. This is their belief. If they want to walk through the Road to the Underworld, They will surely touch the abyss of Naraku!"
"The Road to the Underworld. I haven't heard this word for many years." The head of the Inuyama family said quietly: "Since that man burned down the family archives, many things have been lost. Many descendants of the family have never heard of the Road to the Underworld. .”
"That is the road to salvation in the hearts of the fierce ghosts. They firmly believe that as long as they walk through the road to hell, they can evolve into pure-blooded dragons." Mr. Masamune said: "They have finally found it now. Everything is hidden in In the burial place of God!”
"Don't you understand yet! What the word 'White' represents! What those Deadpools with human faces and snake bodies represent!" Mr. Masamune's words were like thunder: "That is the symbol of God! It is the servant of God! They are , trying to usher in a new era with God!"
"Impossible! This is impossible! How dare they! God will only bring destruction!" the head of the Feng Mo family shouted sternly.
"We are not ghosts, and we can't guess what ghosts think." Mr. Masamune retorted: "The fierce ghosts have invaded Tokyo, and the secret party has also intervened in our sphere of influence. Everyone knows what the secret party will do. Deal with us. Once they discover the secrets we hide, we will immediately be put in prison and strictly monitored. We have finally become strong, do we have to give up our freedom again? "
"This battle with the fierce ghosts must be fought! This is the decisive battle! I want to cut off this ancient fate!" Mr. Masamune said sternly with eyes like a diamond.
"Mr. Masamune, how can we break this fate?" The head of the Sakurai family asked: "The ghost's body has the same blood as ours. Let's not talk about our chances of winning after the war. Even if we win, as long as Snake Qihachi The family still exists, and they will breed again. For thousands of years, no one has been able to cut off this fate."
"Before the Secret Party completely intervenes! Blow up the God's Burial Hall! Connect with the God's bones, cut off the road to hell, completely destroy the hope of the fierce ghosts, and then completely cleanse the power of the fierce ghosts, the people who are attached to them, and the people who are attached to them. No one of their gangs or companies that are dependent on them will be spared! Use this war to end everything!"
"Isn't this too heartless?" asked the head of the Inuyama family: "The fierce ghosts are not all degenerates, they are just hybrids with unstable bloodlines and no way to survive... Is this good? After all, they are compatriots who are related by blood. To some people in the family, this is fratricide.”
"Has the Inuyama family master forgotten the tragedy that happened tonight!" Mr. Masamune shouted: "If you want to end this violence, you must first become the greatest violence! If you continue to tolerate it today, more compatriots will lose their precious lives tomorrow. !”
The eyes of the young juniors were filled with anger.
Tamamo-mae is like their doorstep. Tonight's attack is just like breaking into a house and killing someone. It's still a brutal killing. The clay figures are very angry, not to mention these young people who are full of energy and are involved in the underworld.
Golden flames ignited in the shrine, and Lian Yuan Zhisheng tightened his grip on the handle of the knife.
Crow almost died in Deadpool's mouth.
Ever since he came to the Yuan family and took power, Crow, Yasha, and Sakura have followed him and have become like family members. How could he not be angry if someone wanted to kill his relatives?
Moreover, in the past two months, what the Fierce Ghosts did was really outrageous. The miserable conditions in the "White" factory they destroyed can be described as hell on earth. There were deformities that failed to evolve everywhere. Deadpool, even young children were used by them for artificial experiments.
"Once the war starts, there will probably be rivers of blood and innocent people will die," the head of the Feng Mo family said slowly.
"Some blood has to be shed." Mr. Masamune said, "Although I am the head of the family, I have no right to push the family into war with my own will. I am convening a meeting tonight just to know what you think. I I know that the road ahead is difficult, and before the final battle, I don’t know whether my decision is correct or not. Maybe the final result will be unsatisfactory, but I already have the ambition to die.”
The head of the Inuyama family looked over, his wrinkled face showing no emotion.
He looked at Tachibana Masamune. Tachibana Masamune showed no fear and his eyes were full of determination.
Most people's eyes are on the head of the Inuyama family. The position of the head of the Inuyama family has always been the forbearance faction. But with such an incident tonight, many people want to know whether he will change his mind.
Thanks to "I Love My Silly Yaozi" for the 1,500-point reward, "My Fox is Not a Cat" for the 500-point reward, and "If you don't change your deep feelings, you will fall into the Dead Sea" for the 255-point reward.
