If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon.

After finishing the expensive "Born Like Summer Flowers" that looked like a work of art at the Awakening Temple, Gen Chisheng, as a guide, took a few people around Genji Heavy Industries and visited the infrastructure and functions of each floor. He almost didn't mention the preparations for the diving work, and didn't even take them to check the submersible arranged by the Rock Flow Research Institute.

Okubo Ryoichi had already prepared the car downstairs. Before leaving Genji Heavy Industries, Lin Nian, standing on the steps in the rain with a black umbrella, looked back at the towering building standing like a black crystal under the dark clouds in the evening. Behind the floor-to-ceiling windows that reflected the cold sky, perhaps many eyes were looking down at them with vigilance and scrutiny.

Naturally, Lin Nian's request to meet with Uesugi Eri was softly rejected, even though Gen Chisheng's reply after a moment of silence was: Meeting with the head of the Uesugi family in private is a big deal, even as the person in charge of the Gen family, one of the three major families, he couldn't make this decision on the spot.

Lin Nian could understand this argument. If it was normal, Yuan Zhisheng arranged a meeting with Lin Nian, the former "friend" of the head of the Uesugi family, in the name of his brother. Even if this matter was leaked, he would at most be criticized with mild words.

But now it is different, especially at the meeting of the eight heads of the family, the decision to let the head of the Uesugi family take the lead as a secret weapon in the next general raid was passed.

Now Uesugi Eri is like a half-unlocked strategic weapon. Any private meeting during this sensitive period needs to be strictly reviewed, especially when the purpose of Lin Nian and others meeting Eri is unclear.

Yuan Zhisheng promised Lin Nian that he would use his influence as much as possible to persuade the heads of the eight families of Sheqi, especially the head of the family, Tachibana Masamune, to remove the spies around the headquarters team, and at the same time open up some freedom of movement as much as possible.

Lin Nian also told Yuan Zhisheng semi-publicly that they did not have a deep enough understanding of the current situation in Japan, and hoped to see with their own eyes the outline of the battlefield of this brewing, or already erupted conflict, implying that they might investigate the intelligence themselves.

In response, Yuan Zhisheng tacitly agreed to the headquarters' actions, because both sides knew that the decision-making level of the Snake Eight Families would definitely remove several people from the headquarters from the core circle in the future plan.

In the previous family meeting, Lin Nian proposed to intervene in this matter. As the head of the family, Masamune Tachibana refused, and it was a very tough refusal. He said that he would use Uesugi Erie as insurance for the next action, which was a very clear statement.

The main family does not need the main department to intervene in this war. They hope that the main team will wait for them to gain a decisive advantage on the battlefield before executing the dragon embryo explosion plan in the Sea of ​​Japan.

This is Masamune Tachibana's statement to the main department, and also to the other seven heads of the family, which sends a signal that the main family is ready to turn from defense to offense against the fierce ghosts.

Lin Nian, who left Genji Heavy Industries, also thought on the way that if the emperor's intelligence was revealed in advance at the meeting, would there be some turning point in the development of this matter? However, after thinking about it, the answer he got was probably that the intelligence would only attract the attention of Tachibana Masamune and others, and they would properly use the intelligence, and eventually choose to isolate them.

The willfulness of the Snake Eight Clan was undoubtedly a kind of arrogance, but it was a reasonable arrogance, because in his opinion, the Japanese branch had no experience in fighting the emperor. Just like the armored warriors on Kagoshima riding war horses, wielding long swords, and charging towards the military fortress full of machine guns and cannons, failure seemed inevitable from the perspective of later generations.

However, unlike those warriors who filled the line with flesh and blood, the Snake Eight Clan must have hidden some backhands. Lin Nian knew this very well. After all, as an independent mixed-race force that can deter the Western mixed-race world, it is normal to have some background.

Because it was not clear whether the back-up plans prepared by the Snake Eight Clan could pose a threat to the emperor, Lin Nian did not arrogantly criticize Tachibana Masamune for his stupidity in the meeting.

After all, from Tachibana Masamune's perspective, as a samurai, it is reasonable to trust the sword and armor in his hand more than the sharp teeth and sharp mouths of lobbyists.

So he retreated to find Minamoto Chisheng.

Tachibana Masamune represented the diehards of the Snake Eight Clan. Lin Nian could not open a gap from then on. So it was the most correct thing to open the situation from Minamoto Chisheng, who was younger, more flexible, and most importantly, had faced the strongest military force under the emperor.

The fact was just as Lin Nian thought. In the exchange of intelligence, which could be said to be a kind of "sincerity for sincerity", Minamoto Chisheng loosened his mouth and gave them some promises. This does not mean that even if the two are working together, at most they can be regarded as turning a blind eye.

Don't think that this promise is insignificant or even insignificant. Even in terms of hard force and mobility, even if the main family mobilizes elite law enforcement forces, it cannot restrict the freedom of Lin Nian and others, but the price of freedom in this case is that everyone will break up.

The emperor has already laid out a game in Japan. The most clear piece of information that Lin Nian, who entered the game late, has now obtained is that Lin Xian appeared in the fierce ghost group openly, which gives him reason to believe that this is the first conspiracy to welcome him, that is, to use the relationship between Lin Xian and himself as a catalyst to provoke the relationship between the main department and the main family.

Genji Heavy Industries and the Sheqi Eight Families must have a lot of tricks hidden in them. Lin Nian already knew this when he first came to the Japanese branch. He would not choose to do it before completely digging out these secrets. Easily fell out with this local institution.

Yuan Zhisheng is still the director of the Executive Bureau of the Japanese branch and has not been reduced due to injuries. This means that his majesty and power have not been shaken after the failure, which is a good thing.

Because most of the obstacles that may be encountered in the future actions of the headquarters team will also come from the elites of the Executive Bureau. As long as they get the acquiescence of Director Yuan Zhisheng, then the resistance to their actions will be reduced by at least 80 to 90%. This is why Yuan Zhisheng Special convenience of the collaborators themselves.

But this cooperation with Yuan Zhisheng also made Lin Nian a little worried.

Because Yuan Zhisheng agreed too quickly and didn't even have time to think about it overnight.

Lin Nian believed that Yuan Zhisheng, as the young master of the Japanese branch, should know some of the backhands and background of the Sheqi Eight Family, but he still reached an agreement with Lin Nian in a very quick manner. Is this right? The background of representing our family is not as reliable as Lin Nian thought?

Of course, to explain it from another angle, it can also be said that the special relationship between Minamoto Chisheng and Uesugi Eri makes the brother not want to see his sister-in-law take risks on the battlefield. From what Lin Nian understands, this Judging from the man's character, this reasoning is also reasonable.

Lin Nian's thinking contained some unfounded thoughts. He knew this, but he had to think about it, because facts have proved that blind violence and bravery will only make people fall into the emperor's situation. The deeper you go, the greater the Nibelung Hollow has proven this.

"All in all, we can be considered to have obtained some conveniences, right? Although the negotiation is not a complete victory, we have got some of what we want, so why are we still looking so gloomy?"

After rushing back to the black limousine heading towards Kabukicho Ichiban Street, Caesar in the back seat looked at Lin Nian and said.

"I have suffered a loss, so I have to think more about every step after that." Lin Nian answered.

"Now that the 'permission' is obtained, basic actions should not be too restricted. What should we do next?" Chu Zihang asked.

At the same time, he raised his head and glanced in the direction of the main driver. What he saw was not Ryoichi who was driving, because a black soundproof panel separated the space between the front seat and the back seat. Their spacious back seat was equivalent to a closed space. conference room.

It can be understood that to avoid suspicion, when Lin Nian did not sit in the passenger seat after getting in the car, but came to the back seat to squeeze with Lu Mingfei and the others, the main driver Liang Yi did not need to be reminded. After starting the vehicle, he put this piece of The bezel is raised.

Tachibana Masamune showed a tough attitude at the meeting. In doing so, he could save both parties a lot of trouble.

"Can you think of any other way to get the spirit of the Uesugi family head?" Caesar looked at Lu Mingfei and asked.

"My speech spirit must be within a certain distance from the person being constructed for my speech spirit to take effect." Lu Mingfei scratched his head and expressed that he was somewhat helpless when he couldn't see anyone.

"How far is the specific distance?" Caesar lowered his head and thought.

"At least we can construct it within a distance that we can see clearly. Otherwise, I have no other way."

"In other words, does the effective range of the domain have to be at least within the limit of your vision?" Caesar nodded, "Can you construct the target person by observing the target person through a telescope through a glass-like medium across a building?"

"I haven't tried this." Lu Mingfei hesitated.

"I left the 'coordinates' in the Genji Heavy Industries building." Lin Nian said suddenly.

Both Chu Zihang and Caesar looked up at Lin Nian.

"As a last resort, I can take Lu Mingfei and sneak into Genji Heavy Industries to find the Uesugi family head for construction." Lin Nian said, "I think the Uesugi family head should be willing to give me a face and not directly use it when I enter her room. Yan Ling kicked me out."

"The head of the Uesugi family is the girl with the same red hair as Nono at the conference table, right? With all due respect to you, she is old. It seems that she didn't give you any face at the conference, and she didn't even give you a straight look." Lu Mingfei whispered.

"That's why I do this as a last resort. If possible, I also want to find a reasonable reason and opportunity to see her." Lin Nian shook his head.

"If we are discovered, I am afraid that the Sheqi Eight will be directly labeled as a spy for the Menggui, right? Then it will not be a situation where Takeshi Kaneshiro can help us exonerate us." Caesar said.

"Do you also think that the head of the Yuan family looks like Takeshi Kaneshiro?" Lu Mingfei twitched his eyebrows and looked at Caesar. Suddenly he felt that the president of the student union was quite knowledgeable, unlike those buddies in the Lion Heart Club. So boring, all I know is drinking and spending time with women.

"I watched "Chungking Express" in which he starred with Nonono on my laptop. All in all, I think letting Lu Mingfei steal the 'Word Spirit Trial' can be postponed a little. After all, Lu Mingfei also said that he The authority of the other constructed by the spirit of speech is only It can last for twenty-four hours. It is not yet time to use this authority. After the fact that it can be constructed is confirmed at the meeting, the actual construction can be postponed for the time being. What do you think?" Caesar said? Come up with your own ideas.

Lin Nian thought for a moment and nodded to express that he had no objection. Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei also nodded in agreement.

"Although the patriarch named Tachibana Masamune mentioned many points at the meeting at Xingshen Temple, it can be seen that the two biggest focuses of the meeting were to express his stance to us uninvited guests, and the kind of thing called 'ladder' Evolution of pharmaceutical factories."

"First of all, we have to clarify our purpose. I also think that the basic information is almost mastered now, and we can unify the internal caliber." Caesar looked up at the team members in the back seat and said, "Now we can confirm the information sent to Norma. The Japanese request for help from Princess Kaguya is a bait for the fierce ghosts. The Japanese branch does not need our military assistance, so our original purpose is only to clear the undersea dragon embryos. "

"Obviously, the fierce ghosts have now become an obstacle to this work." Chu Zihang said, "Unless the matter of the evolutionary drug factory is resolved, the Japanese branch will not agree to carry out the dive work, and will completely suppress this matter. later."

"You can't blame Yuan Zisheng. The person in charge of this family is still Tachibana Masamune. The head of the family has expressed his attitude and position. As the director of the Executive Bureau, he must first abide by it. He can turn a blind eye to us in private. One eye is already the limit of what he can do. After that, If you want greater convenience, it depends on the development of the situation. "Lin Nian can be said to have said a few words to Yuan Zhisheng. At least he thought that Yuan Zhisheng had sincerely promised him, because in Uesugi Eri. At this point, his and Lin Nian's goals were actually consistent from a certain perspective.

From different angles, the two of them did not want the girl to be too involved in this battle, and they would make their best efforts for this. This may also be the biggest reason why Yuan Zhisheng made compromises with everyone in the department.

"If our family insists on shelving the problem of dragon embryos before solving the demons, is there any way for us to solve it independently?" Caesar thought while stroking his smoothly shaved chin before going out.

"According to the information from the Equipment Department, the dragon embryo is hidden under a large crack in the Japanese seabed. The crack is officially called the 'Jiyuan'. The sea area is more than eight kilometers deep. The deep-sea high pressure in that place is not causing trouble. Playing, the only ability The submersible equipment used, the Dieste, should be hanging in the Yanliu Research Institute under the Miyamoto family leader at the moment." Chu Zihang leaned on the seat and looked sideways at the high-rise building outside the car window. Between, Tokyo Tower said with its red lights flashing in the heavy rain.

"It's really troublesome. You always get stuck when doing things on other people's territory." Caesar frowned.

"If necessary, I can dive with my bare hands. You should know that I have bloodline refining technology. After completing the dragon transformation, my organs can adapt to the high pressure of the seabed, and I can also evolve a gill-like structure to supplement oxygen." Lin Nian explain.

"It's true." Lu Mingfei looked at Lin Nian and blinked, "How about you just dive down with your bare hands, and when you get there, you can use that Dragon King Hunt to flatten the seabed! That's no better than an alchemy bomb. ”

Lu Mingfei had seen Lin Nian's serious punch. It was definitely not something that could be punched out by pure force. On the island, when Lin Nian punched the canyon and the ancient dragon, Lu Mingfei, who was very close, was very worried. It was obvious that the four basic elements floating around the entire island, and even the fifth element, had entered a chaotic and violent state. If hit in the front by that kind of power, any living thing would die.

"I don't doubt whether Lin Nian can dive to the depth of 8,000 meters with bare hands, but Lin Nian, tell me honestly, at a depth of 8,000 meters, your combat effectiveness will be greatly limited, right?" Caesar looked at it. Xiang Linnian said, "With limited combat power, can you deal with a pure-blooded dragon of unknown generations that may be hatched in advance? Especially when there may be an unknown number of dragon attendants guarding it nearby?" "
