Chapter 169 59: Fish in the Swamp
"I, the Fujiwara family, are willing to obey your orders." Fujiwara was the first to react, and his old body used the soil seat that he had not used for a long time.
"I, the Abe family, are also willing to obey your orders." The head of the Abe family also followed suit and bowed.
The remaining two family heads followed closely and immediately expressed their stance.
"Okay." The mysterious masked man uttered this word briefly, "But I am very lazy. In order to prevent you from betraying me in the future, I have to come to clean up one by one. You will all sign your names to this secret agreement. ”
The head of the Fujiwara family was the first to take it and glanced at it. It basically denounced Ami for not being a human being. For the sake of the Holy Child Pill quota, they decided to unite and contact other extraordinary forces to retaliate against those sent by the United States to seize the quota.
This is obviously a sign of preparation, knowing in advance that they are going to discuss this topic today.
The Abe family has most likely taken refuge in this mysterious being, revealing all their secrets in advance.
But this is fine. The Abe family is one of the families in their inner circle. For them, it is too naive to talk about betrayal. But these families at least have a lot of common interests with each other. The chips needed for betrayal.
After reading it only once, he quickly took out a pen and signed his name, bit off his thumb and stamped it with blood.
Seeing Fujiwara taking the lead, the remaining two family heads followed the signatures without thinking too much.
When it was the turn of the Abe family head, the masked man looked at the three people who had signed, and said: "Next, I must know the information of those people, no matter how big or small, and you will collect it to Abe. He will report it to me in a unified manner."
"Yes." Several people bowed their heads in agreement, appearing extremely obedient.
At least for the moment.
"Sir, it has been signed." Abe said at this time.
"You are responsible for keeping the secret agreement." The masked man seemed to trust the head of the Abe family.
"I understand, sir." Abe carefully put away the secret agreement.
The other three glanced at the Abe family head with envy, then lowered their heads.
"It's normal for you to be curious about my origins." The masked man's tone became slightly gentler, "Compared to the dead, I care more about the benefits that the living can bring. I don't need you and the Holy Infant. To fight against them, I only need you to play a role in the Holy Infant Society."
These words relieved their inner anxiety a little. At least the other party showed that they were useful. More importantly, from the words, this The mysterious supernatural being seemed to be willing to help them obtain the Holy Son Pill quota, which made them overjoyed.
"Abe, go back."
After the masked man explained the matter, he left with the head of the Abe family.
The remaining three people continued to coordinate the subsequent task arrangements in the tea room, and they all became more cautious in communicating, for fear that the extraordinary person might use some strange means to hear their conversation.
"Sir, let them participate in the collection of intelligence. Will there be any unexpected situations that the big shots will know about in advance?" On the way back, the head of the Abe family asked cautiously.
"They can't find out the real information." The masked man shook his head and said in a confident tone, "Those fake news were originally released to deal with them."
Abe nodded suddenly and said no more.
This Chaofan came into contact with him a few days ago. His body was tightly wrapped and he spoke with a voice changer. He had no way of knowing his identity and did not dare to investigate.
Compared to those family heads who were fighting for a chance, he was simply threatened by his life.
But fortunately, the other party’s main target seems to be the three family heads.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but hold the secret promise in his pocket.
The impact of Holy Infant Society's second public elixir grant was far greater than the first.
After all, it was the first time, and everyone still had doubts about whether the side effects would be serious, or whether they would directly become the puppet of the Holy Infant.
But everyone can see the result. Among the five people who took the pill, Jun Nishikido and Yumi Takashima became the three special heroes, with outstanding fighting performance.
Jamie Walton is affectionately known as Captain Jamie. In the Battle of Mai City, his combat power was astonishing.
Even the two chaebol leaders who were originally diagnosed with terminal illnesses have now spread rumors that one of them is pregnant again. From being unable to walk without a wheelchair, to now having a group of bodyguards every day Either running or doing extreme sports, which makes others envious.
Of course, the issue surrounding the distribution of Shengzidan has attracted the attention of many people, and a storm has gathered with Tokyo as the center.
Originally, many Japanese senior officials were optimistic about the distribution of Shengzidan, thinking that they could get more than three pills.
It just didn’t happen. After confirming the effect, America stopped pretending and told them with actions:
Dog, if you eat meat once, the owner is in a good mood and doesn’t care, but in Most of the rest of the time, it's just bones.
If the owner is annoyed, the dog should also come to the dinner table.
Therefore, after "negotiations", the United States and Japan "reached consensus", and we were nine and you were one.
When the Prime Minister came back with the "one", he was almost spitted to death.
But everyone knows that if Ami really falls out, don’t even think about it.
The Special Affairs Bureau was directly excluded this time. There are already rumors that the only quota for taking pills belongs to a certain important person who is seriously ill. All they can fight for is membership quota.
But joining the Holy Infant Club does not mean that you can become extraordinary.
Although Nakai Hayabusa does occasionally select one of the trainee members and, with the consent of the Nine Guardians or the Holy Infant, bestows the Holy Son Pill. It's just that those people Zhongju Falcon intends to definitely absorb them into the organization, so they generally don't choose people with other purposes to give pills.
At this time, Yushi Noguchi also got a list of Ami’s people who served Dan. The specific names may not be impressive, but the surnames are all from famous families.
"Is this true? Can we expect these people on the list to fight against demons or hostile supernatural beings for ordinary people? I thought I would have new colleagues."
Toyokawa Kamikiro After hearing the identities and ages of these people from Takashima Yumi, she yelled.
"Extraordinary threats are nothing in their eyes for the time being. Those who die are just civilians or soldiers. And once you have extraordinary abilities, even if you encounter extraordinary disasters, the probability of survival is much greater, but it is indeed like a flood. Chuan said, we cannot expect these people to become 'heroes' at all. Unless there are any huge benefits, according to the habits of these people, they prefer to sit behind the scenes and wave knives and forks."
Kuroki Shinsen. Additional explanation on the side.
"Extraordinary disasters will only become more frequent in the future. Obviously, the top priority should be to borrow the power of the Holy Infant to quickly improve our immediate combat capabilities." Nishikido Jun shook his head and sighed.
"It's not yet confirmed whether Ami has any other plans. Maybe some of these capitalists are willing to stand up and fight." Kuroki didn't believe what he said.
Noguchi Yushi did not participate in the discussion of this topic. He already knows the nature of this country. Even if the quotas are equally divided, there will be a hundred reasons not to allocate them to the Special Affairs Bureau to improve combat effectiveness.
There are always big shots up there who want to cut off the beard.
"Let's stop this topic. We can't interfere with the above decision." Yushi Noguchi took out a file, "Regarding the 34-page file, he seemed to be looking for an opportunity to get close to the whereabouts of Ito Seigo. Do you think we need to station someone at the hotel where the Holy Infant is located? "
The station mentioned by Noguchi means sending a supernatural person to guard it secretly.
“I don’t see the need. The power of the Holy Infant Club is not weak. Ito Seigang may not be the opponent of Nakai Hayabusa and the others, let alone the Nine Guardians. Moreover, his approach to the Holy Infant Club is very sudden. , It should be under the instigation of the hypocrite. This is a conflict between the two transcendent beings. We just need to focus on the Holy Infant."
Kuromu repeated his analysis and opinions in the file.
"Second." Takashima nodded, she thought so too.
The little transparent Kyoko Shirai was actually in the conference room, but she never spoke. She wore an eye patch on her right eye and silently flipped through the files.
"Second." Nishikido Junya agreed with Kuroki's statement.
Toyokawa looked at Kuroki and then at Noguchi: "Well, the hypocrite suddenly paid attention to the Holy Infant at this time, and it happened to be approaching the elixir-giving ceremony. Is there any plan? If we take the initiative to tell President Nakai, is there any benefit? At least I can gain a good impression."
Takashima glanced at Toyokawa in surprise, this guy seems to have some progress, at least except for talking about Nanako. He can still think.
She misunderstood Toyokawa. In fact, he just wanted to help Noguchi speak.
Kuroki did not refute, and after thinking for a moment, she adopted Toyokawa's statement. She would tell Nakai Hayabusa over the phone later.
The meeting is dismissed.
Kyoko Shirai packed away the few things on the table numbly.
"Let's eat together? How about the puffer fish sashimi we agreed on last time?" Takashima invited with a smile.
Shirai lowered his head and shook his head: "I still can't. I want to go back and rest."
". Pay attention to rest. I happen to be going to Osaka tomorrow to bring you Okonomiyaki." Takashima He rubbed her head a little affectionately and said softly.
"Yeah"
The Special Affairs Bureau is equipped with a driver and a car for each extraordinary person, and also provides accommodation, but Kyoko Shirai is still living with Saki Kondo.
Back home, Kondo hasn’t finished school yet.
Shirai picked up his clothes and walked to the bathroom, ready to take a shower first.
Standing in front of the mirror out of habit, she took off her blindfold.
In the mirror, her right eye was completely black.
Faintly, it seems that you can still see the black mist drifting from the eye sockets.
Eyes widened, Shirai's left eye quickly turned white, and light overflowed, suppressing the black energy in his right eye.
After more than ten seconds, the white light faded away. She held the mirror and panted tiredly.
The boundary between heaven and hell is not the human world, but torture.
The wandering souls taken into her body cannot be driven out at all, and they can only be burned as firewood. But in this way, her burning furnace will inevitably be contaminated by the evil commonality of these souls.
But maintaining this fragile balance tortured her nerves all the time.
It was difficult to concentrate. Every time she fell asleep, there would be countless nightmares dragging her into the abyss. When she woke up, she couldn't distinguish between reality and dreams.
She was now like a trapped person on a sloping cliff. Down was a bottomless abyss. Up, she could see the light, but there was no point of strength for her to climb out.
The sharp knife made a bloody mark on her arm, and the pain told her that she was still in the human world.
The light covers the wound and the bloodstain heals.
