Dragon Clan: Thought So Far

"It's a very despicable method, isn't it? It's exactly what a cowardly and ambitious person like him is most keen to do... use conspiracy to gain power and power in this world, even if it costs tens of millions of lives. The stakes of this huge gamble were not hesitated." Tachibana Masamune looked back at Tokyo that was ravaged by the tsunami. The power bureau was still standing at its post. When the first wave of tsunami came, almost the whole city was plunged into darkness. But after a short period of time, Many neighborhoods were lit up again after the panic.

The tsunami came so suddenly that citizens had less than twenty minutes to evacuate. The elemental turbulence caused by Yamata-no-Orochi completely blocked meteorological satellites from monitoring climate changes in the waters near Tokyo Bay. Huge waves tens of meters high were overwhelming. Like flowing along the gaps between the gray-white buildings.

Those who had time to escape fled to the west or north to high ground that would not be affected by the tsunami, while those who had no time to escape went to the top of high-rise buildings and looked around at the sea.

In order to stabilize citizens and avoid some possible public security crimes, the Electric Power Bureau has been fully taken over by the Self-Defense Forces, and at the request of the Chief Cabinet Secretary, centralized power supply is provided to designated buildings.

Tachibana Masamune's black pupils reflected such a stern and beautiful city, like Takamagahara that fell into the abyss many years ago.

Layers of black waves hit the outer wall of the titanium black building. Each floor of the building lit up brightly, reflecting on the rough water like a mirage.

"At first I didn't know that I was actually created to replace Colonel Bondarev's puppet. It wasn't until the riots within Genji Heavy Industries that the Serpentine Deadpool's testing ground was exposed. In my memory, that was indeed what I did. , but the interesting thing is... In my memory, I am not ashamed of this, and I even felt some kind of inner joy when dissecting the corpses of those poor people. And that day, Zhisheng and I went underground together. What spread through my heart like a tide in the laboratory was not the fear and panic when the Dong Chuang incident occurred, but... compassion."

Yuan Jingnu sneered silently.

"If all of this is true, then you should have inherited everything about that person, his cold-bloodedness and his despicability. How can a person like you have such emotions as compassion?" The Snakesaki Hachi family and the Fierce Ghosts have been together for so many years. They have been living in peace and harmony, but that is not because the family heads have been influenced by Western thoughts and have become more respectful of human rights than before, but because of Tachibana Masamune's policies.

The Colonel Bondarev mentioned by this puppet must have been a KGB agent from Moscow before he turned himself into a real Japanese. He believes that after experiencing the Second World War, both the family and the devils have become very different. Weak, unable to afford a potentially protracted war that would engulf the entire shadow society of Japan.

But that doesn't mean he's not taking action.

On the contrary, Tachibana Masamune was such a cunning fox that he began to introduce foreign assets on a large scale, secretly reached agreements with other mixed-race families who were not descendants of the White King, and transferred the interests of the Snakesaki Hachi family on the islands.

Kyoto is the family's basic base. As long as the city of Tokyo is still under the control of the family, then the Snakezaki family, as the supreme underworld, will not collapse and will even find it difficult to lose in almost all overt and covert battles.

But the fierce ghosts have to deal with threats from all directions, including guys like the academy who regard fallen hybrids as scourges.

"Yes, because even if we have the same genes, there won't be much difference in appearance or memory, but I'm not him after all." Tachibana Masamune let out a low sigh, "Children are in my office, my residence, and even The antique Ferrari I traveled with found devices that could emit low-frequency sound waves that could not be picked up by the human ear. They were still endlessly transmitting a fixed sound to the outside world until they were discovered. The Rock Flow Research Institute analyzed those devices. Equipment, what do you think is recorded in it?”

Yuan Zhennu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly started to tremble violently.

He seemed to have guessed what the old man was going to say...

"It's a kind of banging sound with a very weird melody, a bit like the melody that the Maya priests of Central America would play when they used the psychedelic effects produced by hallucinogenic mushrooms in religious ceremonies."

Masamune Tachibana whispered, "Fortunately, I inherited Bondarev's brain, so I realized that I might have been tampered with in my brain. That kind of banging sound would stimulate a certain brain area a little bit." Inducing the subconscious mind of this body to do something that the person who controls me wants me to do, so that Friedrich can control the entire Snakesaki family through me. I guess he originally intended to use the same method. To control the demons, Dr. Herzog, who has played the role of king for many years, is more difficult to deal with than he imagined. Even a clone will find the truth from clues and in turn disrupt his plan. So Friedrich killed him completely and directly replaced Herzog's identity and status among the demons. "

Kazama Ruri still held the blades of Spider Kiri and Doji Kiri, his blood was so hot that it evaporated all the falling snow.

Even if he realized that his two personalities were affected by the clapper in General Wang's hand, it had already happened recently, and it was thanks to Lu Mingfei's reminder.

I didn't expect that this cloned puppet would find the medium that influenced it so quickly...

"I have been secretly resisting the control that is almost difficult to escape. Even before that, I have realized that there is something wrong with my thinking. I have always regarded the head of the Uesugi family as my daughter, but sometimes I have a certain feeling in my heart. I was extremely frightened by the thought of treating her as...food. In order to eliminate this frightening thought, I sent her out and asked the child named Lu Mingfei to take her out of Japan."

Kazama Ruri realized that Tachibana Masamune was not lying.

He had seen the head of the Uesugi family who had left the family more than once. He was a child as clear as glass. Apart from the feelings that Minamoto had poured into that girl that should have been his own, it was difficult for even Minamoto to rise from his heart. Thoughts of resentment come.

Judging from the girl's words and deeds, it seems that she has been raised as a weapon without freedom since she was a child. She knows very little about the outside world and relies mostly on Lu Mingfei for guidance.

However, her bloodline is so powerful that even extremely evil ghosts like Minamoto no Maiden would feel fear in front of Eriki.

If the person who plays the king and controls Tachibana Masamune is Friedrich, then everything will make sense. In the eyes of that madman, everything in the world is valuable, and as long as it is valuable, it is his. food.

Fengjian Liuli's heart suddenly trembled.

He remembered that just now the king seemed to have planned to let the holy bones parasitize him.

So is this what Friedrich meant by two people sitting on the throne together? Let the holy bones parasitize Yuan Jingnu, and then use Yuan Jingnu's body to act as a filter for the toxicity of the dragon's blood and all curses.

Perhaps the character actually used to serve as this filter in Friedrich's original plan should be the girl named Uesugi Eri.

Or maybe before Friedrich came to Japan, Colonel Bondarev, whose pseudonym was Tachibana Masamune, had been cultivating the Uesugi family head as the Holy Grail. That despicable German just inherited Bondarev's conspiracy. .

It's just that he didn't expect that a clone created just from Colonel Bondarev's genes would have such a keen intuition. He realized that his feelings for the head of the Uesugi family had changed strangely, and thus speculated that something was affecting him. subconscious, and sent the girl out of the Jakikihachi family before that influence pushed him to hurt the head of the Uesugi family.

Masamune Tachibana pressed his old and withered but still powerful hands on the shoulders of Minamoto and Minamoto respectively. The old man's body was tall and straight, his silver-gray hair was flying in the strong wind along with his rustling windbreaker, and his eyes were deep. There are traces of time everywhere, and the lines on his face show that he was handsome when he was young, but now he is as hard as a knife.

"In the war that lasted from Black Swan Port in Siberia to Tokyo, they all thought they would be the final winner, but Friedrich got more support from the Holy Palace Medical Society, so Colonel Bondarev and Dr. Herzog ended up in this decades-long tit-for-tat confrontation.”

Tachibana Masamune sighed, he reached over and pulled out the long and narrow object from behind.

Yuan Jingnu breathed heavily. The more he looked at the old man in front of him, the more interesting he became. The person in charge of this body was now Feng Jian Liuli, and Feng Jian Liuli had already buried the seeds of hatred deep in his heart.

The long and narrow object was opened, and it turned out to be a huge black umbrella. The heavy snow flakes hit the umbrella surface and made a crackling sound. The chill in the air suddenly intensified tenfold. It did not come from the ferocious-looking brother. Nor does it come from my brother who has a heart as strong as steel.

But the temperature in the mountains suddenly dropped by at least five degrees Celsius.

Just as Minamoto Chisheng said to Minamoto Chisuko, his original destination should be Mount Fuji, which is regarded as a sacred mountain by the Japanese.

With the return of Yamata no Orochi, what comes to Tokyo together is definitely not the tsunami sweeping through the city, nor the alien species that are gathering in Tokyo Bay to grind their teeth and suck blood.

The Nibelungen Night Food Plains that the Snake Qihachi family has been guarding since ancient times has been opened. According to the family's classics, the gate of the Nibelungen will appear on the top of Mount Fuji. At that time, the volcano that has been silent for a long time will appear. Erupting with world-destroying majesty.

Before the Nibelungs completely merged with the real world, the unique weather in the kingdom of the dead would be carried to the sky above Tokyo along with the outward surge of air.

The ancestors have locked themselves in hell for too long. For hundreds of thousands of years, generations of the Snake Qiba family followed the call of their bloodline and walked into the kingdom of the dead before they died, using their own lives as the sealed nodes. , burying the Food of the Night bit by bit deeper into the illusion.

But today, under the call of God, the Nibelungs that bury the kingdom of God and the temple are being awakened, and the dead ancestors will return to this world with full of anger and hatred.

Their resentment can even condense into ice, and countless elemental tides converge over Tokyo to form a terrifying cold current.

In the rapidly falling temperature, the air flow exhaled from the mouths and noses of Yuan Zhisheng and Yuan Zongnu turned into white vapor. They stared at each other's eyes that were burning like molten iron, and listened silently to the poor puppet beside them. Readme.

The technology used to create Kagemusha is not perfect, and the "hybrids" that are cultivated have incomplete spirits. They may be given powerful powers, but their bodies are getting worse day by day, like a train rushing to hell, and their organs are failing. The metabolism rate of the cells and cells is much higher than that of hybrids born through normal pregnancy.

In the past, the eight Snakesaki families had entrusted the Ganliu Research Institute to carry out efficient and low-cost clone cultivation. The clone objects ranged from several family heads to members of various branches, covering almost all strata in the entire lineage sequence. However, in the end, due to their short-term It failed due to its long lifespan, high cost that completely failed to meet the requirement of "low cost", and an appallingly low success rate.

In modern times, when genetic technology is gradually developing, Cassel College has definitely made similar attempts and efforts, but it has been fourteen years since the first cloned sheep was born at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, UK, on ​​July 5, 1996. Years later, the war in the mixed-race society still remains at a relatively primitive battle between elites. Instead of a frenzied army of S-class hybrid clones using human sea tactics to destroy pure-blood dragon gathering points one after another, it is actually enough. It is judged that the attempt made by the secret party on this matter has also failed.

No one knows when this puppet controlled by Friedrich began to control the Snake Qihachi family. There is no reason for him not to know the sad fate that he will inevitably face as a clone.

"So brother, are you here to kill me this time?" Yuan Zhimv used her bloody hands to tear off the hard exoskeleton on her face. The pale bone layers that seemed to sparkle with metallic silver were connected to the flesh and blood. Tear them off together.

But the hot dragon's blood repaired the scars left on Yuan Zhisheng's face in just an instant. The devil's face disappeared from Yuan Zhisheng's eyes, and was replaced by an exquisite face that was almost transparent. The golden eyes like molten iron also extinguished in an instant, and turned into the cowardly eyes of a girl.

In just one second, the boy's beating heart in his chest suddenly calmed down. The dragon's blood was cooling down, and the bulging muscles all over his body slowly returned to calm. The scales and sharp claws were retracted from the body. After transforming into a dragon, he became as tall as a super human. The warrior's body shrank little by little, and finally took on the appearance of the young man in the mountains, with a lone collarbone, slender ankles, and naked body, and his whole body was as soft as a girl's.

He wiped his face with his arm, tilted his head and showed a smile like water.

Yuan Zhisheng's hard-as-stone expression was shattered, and the sharp claws holding his sword trembled slightly.

But Kazama Ruri held the blade and hit it against the edge.

Two knives penetrated the boy's ribs at the same time, but the powerful hemostasis system and self-healing function failed at this moment, as if the dragon part of his body had completely given up on the child.

"I am not your brother Yuan Zhisheng, but a devil born in hatred and anger. They all call me Kazama Ruri." He said, looking at Yuan Zhisheng's face with a look that was between disdain and ridicule. Eye.

Yuan Zhisheng was stunned for a moment, and Tachibana Masamune also showed a surprised expression.

"Dual personality?" Tachibana Masamune said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Yuan Zhisheng's chest was dripping with blood, and pain swept through his body, but he still smiled and stared into Yuan Zhisheng's eyes, as if enjoying the shock and panic hidden in his eyes,

"Brother, do you still remember? At that time, we were wrapped in the same quilt and sleeping on the leather seats with peeling paint in the gymnasium of the mountain school. The winter in the mountains was too cold. It is said that some people were frozen to death outside. We I was very afraid of being cold, so I curled up and hugged each other tightly, because only in this way can I feel a little warmth. "

"Yes, I still remember stealing those abandoned tables and chairs from the abandoned underground, lighting them and using them to keep warm. The next day the principal of that school scolded everyone in every class because he didn't "I don't know who did it," Yuan Zhisheng said, "He found out later because you shared it with a girl you liked very much at the time, but she didn't like you, so she reported you. "

"Brother, you told the principal that you actually burned those tables and chairs, so you took the blame for me." Yuan Zhimu smiled.

"Does the devil's personality also remember these things?"

"I have investigated. What happened in the village at that time was done by the former king. He used some kind of ability to hypnotize me. Of course, he didn't trust anyone, so he also hypnotized many people in the fierce ghost community. In this case It wasn't until Colonel Bondarev took his place among the demons that I understood that because the owner of that ability died, the hypnotized person gradually became sober... Besides, we devils are not without kindness. Monsters in the soul." Kazama Ruri said, "In fact, all freaks with the emperor's blood flowing in their bodies are no different from devils. There is no corner in the world where we should stand, and we will bring the emperor wherever he goes. Come disaster."

"Because the god they have been pursuing left a curse in our genes." Yuan Zhisheng's eyelids twitched, but fortunately he was hidden under the exoskeleton so he was not discovered. He said, "As long as the emperor's blood is not passed down If you go down, this curse will be broken.”

"So you really came to kill me?"

"You have too much innocent blood on your hands."

"Brother, aren't you the same?"

"Yes, today I have become a ghost like you. The poison of that serum has invaded my heart, and I am going to die." Yuan Zhisheng said softly, slowly applying force on his hands, using two sharp knives It pierced into Yuan Jingnu's chest bit by bit.

The two people looked at each other for a long time, their black pupils and red-gold pupils reflecting each other's appearance.

"I thought there would be a lose-lose fight between us," Yuan Zhisheng said.

"No need, you actually came here to ask for death, die in my hands or die at the door of the Night Food Plain." Yuan Zhennu smiled.

He had begun to lose blood and turned pale.

"I promised that child to avenge him, but now that we have reached this point, the so-called revenge is just an empty slogan. Killing you will actually free you." Yuan Zhennu opened her arms and gave up resistance, and he took a step forward. , with the sound of the sword entering his body, the spider cut and the boy cut penetrated his chest at the same time.

Then, Yuan Zhisheng felt like he was being embraced by a soft body.

He stretched out his hand to catch the weak Yuan Jingnu, and tears fell uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes.

"Brother, this is my revenge... In the rest of your short life, use every second to regret for what you did in the past..." Yuan Zhisheng hugged Yuan Zhisheng's neck, but her body was always there He was slipping, unable to stand firmly, and his consciousness gradually became blurred, but he was still smiling.

Smiling as cheerfully as a child, as if a great revenge had been avenged, as if old friends were reunited.

Tachibana Masamune stood aside silently. He took off the white flower pinned to his clothes and placed it on Minamoto's shoulders.

"Zongsheng, I'm sorry, I didn't take my child with me before..." the old man said.

"Dad." Yuan Zhisheng laid the boy flat on the ground, his expression as hard as iron, and he made a strong gesture,

"There is no time to be sad. We haven't gone to hell yet, so the responsibility is still on us. Let's go and close the door to the Night Food Plain."

"Can we really do it? It depends on my commandments..."

"Perhaps it was just an accident that the person gave you the spirit of commandments when he created you, but this accident brought us an incredible glimmer of hope." Yuan Zhisheng lit a cigarette in the snow, and he looked down at Yuan Zhisheng silently. After confirming that he would not wake up again, he turned his head away and exhaled deeply.

"Even the ultimate alchemical field must follow the most basic alchemical principles. Without the sacrifice of elements, the gate of the Nibelungs will collapse." Yuan Zhisheng said.

"But I'm just..."

"Clone, right? In fact, the more suitable person to do this is the vice principal, but it is said that he has returned to Chicago now, and it is unlikely that he will come to Tokyo by private plane." Yuan Zhisheng Throwing the cigarette towards Yuan Zhennu's blood stain, the cigarette butt was extinguished by the overwhelming gravitational force before it even hit the ground. It rolled and fell into pieces of ice.

"But it doesn't matter. I didn't have any hope at first, but now I think there will never be such a good opportunity in the world. Maybe we can not only close the Nibelungs, but also kill the gods crawling out of the grave."

At this time, a heavy-duty helicopter with an astonishing capacity appeared above them. Several burly men descended along the zipline and ran wildly to the two medical cabins that were originally used for the blood transfusion plan. After a series of operations, Secure that thing to the underside of the helicopter.

With a deafening roar, machinery weighing several tons rose from the ground.

——

An incredible scene happened here. The backstreet of the University of Tokyo looked like Moses parted the Red Sea with his scepter. The tsunami from Tokyo Bay actually avoided this street. The water walls on both sides were as high as ten meters, throwing huge waves. shadow.

"I said we really won't leave?" Inuyama He frowned.

"If this city is hopeless, then I should have boarded the private plane waiting at Narita Airport and embarked on a journey to France. But isn't that monster left in Tokyo Bay now?" On the forehead The ramen chef wrapped in a towel was playing with a braised egg opposite him.

"But around here..."

"You know I am the holder of all the land on this street, and I am so poor that this is the only land left, but I would rather sell ramen than sell this land. Do you think this is just because of me? I miss Japan during World War II, so I don’t want these old houses to be demolished. Do you think I am such a person?” Uesugi sighed, “I don’t trust those younger people, so I would rather hang out with the old ladies in the izakaya. I don’t want to go out and spend billions of dollars selling land to live in luxury.”

"You are indeed that kind of person." Inuyama He nodded while holding the knife.

"This is the real entrance to the Night Food Plain." Uesugi said in a low voice. At his feet were piles of famous swords brought from the family, bundled together. There were too many to count, but each one was for killing ghosts. The sharp blade.

Inuyamaga looked around, and the heavy rain was hitting the wooden houses that were nearly a century old.

The techniques of these buildings have been handed down from the Edo period. Craftsmen laid layers of tiles between the wooden rafters. Rainwater mixed with snow rushed along the tile troughs, shooting out silver parabolas in the night. All the fallen leaves fell in this tsunami, and the streets were covered with puddles of water, and the water was covered with fallen leaves, like a sea of ​​floating leaves.

"But the Fuma clan master and the Ryoma clan master are both guarding Mount Fuji..."

"That's the core of the Nibelungs. No one will stop them from entering the kingdom of the dead, but the chaos of that space will send them to this area the moment they step in." Uesugoshi sipped his sake lightly. , he patted Inuyama Ga on the shoulder, "You are a student of that old bastard Angers, you shouldn't be so nervous... It's just a desperate war, relax and drink some wine, because soon we will You have to fight something."

"I don't quite understand..."

"Listen." Uesugoshi peeled off a braised egg for Inuyamaga and threw it into the ramen bowl in front of him, "They are nearby."

Inuyamaga closed his eyes and listened, and he could only hear the sound of rain hitting the tiles becoming more and more clear, as well as the sound of wind in the sky and the sound of water running on the ground.

Far away, the cries of the men and women trapped in the high-rise building could be heard. They were trapped, and something was trying to break in downstairs... probably a monster like a ghost, but unfortunately the ghost slayers of the Eight Snake Clan were too busy to take care of themselves.

Inuyama He's bloodline was not inferior, and the sound seemed to have a picture in his ears. At the same time, the world became larger and larger with the extension of hearing, extending into the darkness of heavy rain.

At a certain moment, Inuyama He sat up straight, opened his eyes, and hot lava flowed in his eyes!

He heard it!

It was like a lone beast howling with hunger in the distance. He and Uesugi Yue were in the middle of the beasts, and there were fierce and violent predators on all sides.

Then the ground began to shake slightly, which was obviously the heavy footsteps of the shadows not far away.

Inuyama He also smelled the smell of rusted metal, which seemed to be the smell of blood, coming from the ancient age of gods.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and finally they sounded like thunder coming from far away.

"The ancestors are back." Uesugi Yue put one foot on the bench and ate ramen with a grunt.

Like an old porcupine. (End of this chapter)
