Chapter 696: Mountain Fear (49)
“The nest...” Qian Xiaoyi was not very surprised. He asked directly: “How many of those buildings did he ask you to build?”
The key to solving the problem of Hundred Ghosts is to find the key problem!
And this key issue has now emerged. If all the coordinates of the ghost lair can be known from Grandma Tao, then it is not empty talk to annihilate the huge organization of Hundred Ghosts in one fell swoop.
Grandma Tao said: "I know what you are thinking, but unfortunately, I am afraid I will disappoint you. I have not gained the trust of that person. I am just a tool in his eyes. It’s just a tool for experimentation. Fuji Mansion is the only location I know of the exact location, but it’s more of a testing ground than a formal lair.”
Qian Xiaoyi nodded. He did know the situation of Fuji Mansion. It had the conditions to become a lair. However, because it was hidden in the deep mountains and old forests, and could not collect much knowledge, it was impossible to maintain its shape for a long time. It was a Defective products.
"In other words, you don't know the specific locations of the other Hundred Ghost Lairs?" Qian Xiaoyi sighed: "Think about it, if you know this information, according to that guy's temperament, I'm afraid I won’t let you live well until now. After all, only dead people can keep secrets.”
Grandma Tao had a strange expression: “Then I still want to thank him for being so compassionate and not killing me?”
Qian Xiaoyi said: "That's not necessary. The reason why he didn't do anything to you is probably because he wanted to use your clue as a trap to give an early warning or something, as long as something happened here. , then he knows someone is coming to his door."
"Early warning?" Grandma Tao said, "You mean, he is afraid of people coming from the mainland?"
Qian Xiaoyi said: "As a traitor, he should be afraid of things like cleaning up his family, otherwise he wouldn't have to go out of his way to hide his identity."
Grandma Tao said quietly: "But It actually took you twenty years to send someone here. Although you don’t know where he is now, it’s clear that Obviously, his power has developed..."
Qian Xiaoyi smiled awkwardly and said, "There is a reason for this."
He was vague and didn't want to say more. He said, and what he didn't say was that if he hadn't come to Japan, no one else would have come to Jingde.
“Let’s get back to the topic.” Qian Xiaoyi asked: “What happened after Fuji Mansion? You should have helped him create other nests, right? Why don’t you know the location?”
Grandma Tao replied: "After performing the channeling ceremony at Fuji Mansion, he found me again about a year ago. This time he should have succeeded in the experiment and started to actually create those nests. Because I accepted The deal with him, so every time before the ceremony, I would be blindfolded, get in the car, and wander around for a long time. When I arrived at the destination, I was already in the spirit world, so I said I didn’t Know their actual location."
Qian Xiaoyi snorted: "That guy is really impeccable in his work... How many nests have you helped him build in total?"
Grandma Tao thought about it. Thinking about it, he said: "If you don't count Fuji Mansion, there are four, right? A casino, a studio, an ancient city, and... a place I don't know what it is."
Qian Xiaoyi asked Said: "Only four? He should have built more nests." The power of the Hundred Ghosts is very huge. If there are only four nests, even if one of them is destroyed, the other side will usher in a deadly counterattack, but The other party's reaction was completely different, which meant that they were more than just these four nests.
"These are the only four places where I can recall my memory." Grandma Tao said: "He never came to me again after that. I'm afraid he found a way to replace me while he was observing me performing the psychic ritual. Even...he may have completely seen through my psychic skills, so he no longer needs me."
"It's possible. Yes." Qian Xiaoyi nodded. It should be said that the possibility is very high. If Qian Xiaoyi does it by himself, it is impossible to leave the important links in making the nest to others. Those ghosts and ghosts are not fuel-efficient lamps. Jingde must prevent them from overheating, so it is necessary to master the key technologies in his own hands.
Thinking about the information in Grandma Tao’s words, Qian Xiaoyi thought: The casino and the studio are both right, and they have been broken by himself. Plus the other two places, I’m afraid this The four lairs are what Hyakki originally looked like. No matter what organization it is, it all develops from a weak position, and Hyakki is definitely no exception. Therefore, these four nests should be the structure that can maintain the operation of Hyakki organization to a minimum extent.
The more Qian Xiaoyi thought about it, the clearer his idea became. First of all, the studio, that is, the TV station, has the function of spreading supernatural knowledge, attracting audiences with supernatural physiques, creating the soil for the existence of supernatural legends, and providing the basis for the existence of other nests. It provides a foundation, but in reality serves as a [diplomatic] function, creating a complex network of relationships to connect various upper-class people.
At the same time, the Shichijo family should also have a close relationship with Keitoku.
Then there is the casino [Golden God] Game Hall, which produces chips or currency that circulates between organizations in the ghost realm, and is used to reward and control organization members. In reality, its responsibilities are [violence] and [exploitation], which is equivalent to The core of the low-level people who specialize in doing odd jobs and collecting protection fees is Zhang Chunfa, Jingde's first test subject when he was in Hong Kong.
What is this? Waste utilization?
There are two left... Qian Xiaoyi feels that the Hope Cult behind the [Aquarius Messenger] and [Monster] must be one of the four original nests established. As for whether it is the ancient city or the other, I don’t know. Where, I don't know.
Qian Xiaoyi asked: "Mother-in-law, what kind of [unknown place] are you talking about? Isn't there any clear marker?"
Grandma Tao replied: "I'm just responsible for summoning the memory of that land I have never seen the nest you are talking about, but it must be completely different from the one I summoned originally, because the buildings I summoned are all superficial, with nothing inside. No. ”
Qian Xiaoyi understood that, in layman's terms, Grandma Tao was only the one responsible for laying the foundation. At most, she only built a rough building. Jingde still had to do the rest of the decoration work himself, such as water, electricity, doors, windows and floors. And the most important residents were all created by Jingde.
Grandma Tao said: "If I have to say it, the biggest feature of that place is the vast expanse of white."
"A vast expanse of white?" Qian Xiaoyi was a little confused: "Nothing else?"
"No." Grandma Tao said: "This is what it looked like at first. I don't know what it will become after that. It may be very different from the beginning."
