Chapter 256 Dragon and snake dance together, killing people! (2)

When I woke up in the morning, there was also heavy fog around Araguan Apartment.

Pedestrians on the streets rushing to work and school thought that when the fog cleared, there would be bright and warm sunshine.

In fact it doesn't.

After the fog cleared, the sky was still hazy.

When Higashinohara finished his daily exercise and went back upstairs, he met Kolodya who was returning from shopping for groceries.

After these two days, Kolodya might be really optimistic or maybe she didn't want to worry Higashinohara and Nishimaru Miria, so she returned to her original life just two days after being rescued from the Judgment Division.

Buy groceries, do housework, and bask in the sun.

Life seemed to be back on its original track, the way she liked it.

Only occasionally she would be in a daze, perhaps because everything in front of her was too familiar - it was like this in the Grand Duchy of Shayash where Colodia was located eight years ago.

After the revolutionary army assassinated a Celestial Member of the World Government's House of Lords at a dinner party, the Adjudication Division announced its withdrawal from the Grand Duchy of Shayash.

Immediately afterwards, at the World Conference two years later, the Grand Duchy of Shayash was announced to be removed from the Alliance.

At first, the citizens of the Grand Duchy of Shayash were still at a loss.

But today, eight years later,

A country that had lasted for thousands of years on the ice fields in the northwest of the East China Sea vanished into thin air.

In the past two nights, Kolodya often dreamed about the past, the present, and the future, things that had not happened but seemed destined to happen.

Could it be that human beings are dominated again and again under the rule of the world government and gods?

Definitely unable to resist.

Can we just go with the flow again and again?

This morning, after waking up, Kolodya thought this with some sadness, lowered her head feebly, and her golden satin-like hair hung slowly in front of her forehead.

Obviously she already has the answer in her mind.

However, these low emotions suddenly disappeared when she met the spring-like young man when she went upstairs, and a smile appeared on her fair face.

"Morning, Higashino-kun!"

"morning."

Higashinohara smiled and nodded.

"By the way, there were a lot of people behind our apartment building this morning."

Kolodya said in amazement like she was chatting, "Did you see it, Higashino-san? I heard them say that all the cherry blossoms in the whole street behind them withered overnight. It's really incredible!"

Higashinohara's morning jogging route did not include the street behind Aragaki's apartment. Hearing this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then he had some reaction and coughed dryly and said:

"Well that's quite incredible."

Echoing a sentence, Higashinohara recalled what the two trainee police officers said at the shelter last night about the many vicious events that have occurred in New Tokyo recently.

So Higashinohara changed the subject and said, "Kolodia, if you have nothing to do recently, it's best not to go out casually."

"Ah? What happened?" Coladia was stunned for a moment.

"Yes. Recently, many overseas criminal gangs have appeared in New Tokyo. The police force is a bit tight and they are not very able to take care of them. If you encounter danger, you must protect yourself. Of course, it is best not to go out."

Higashinohara hesitated for a moment, looked at Coladia's worried face, and then told him the truth. Knowing these things is definitely better than not knowing.

"Yes, I understand. Please be more careful, Higashino-kun." Kolodia nodded.

When they were going upstairs to say goodbye, Higashinohara suddenly said to Kolodya, "By the way, there is no need to prepare my meals tonight. I should be back later."

"Do you have an appointment tonight?" Coladia's long eyelashes fluttered and she turned to look at Higashinohara.

Higashinohara nodded, smiled and said, "That's right, I'm going to attend a dinner party."

“Dinner party”

A smile appeared on Kolodya's face, and she didn't ask any more questions. She just nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll prepare Xiaomi-ri and Charlie-chan tonight."

But when she turned around and went back to the house,

There was something strange in my heart.

After living together for such a long time, Higashinohara gave her the impression that he was a relatively focused and pure boy.

My social circle in daily life is not very large, so it was quite unexpected that I suddenly wanted to attend a dinner party.

What kind of dinner will it be?

Class dinner?

No matter what kind of dinner it is.

In Wano Country, the most eye-catching thing tonight is probably the dinner that is about to be held at the official residence of the Prime Minister of the Special Administrative Region in Chiyoda Ward.

Early in the morning, the morning news on the NHK channel broadcast the news - the new Prime Minister Higashikata Higashikata will host a dinner at his official residence to invite the heads of the major chaebol families in Wano to discuss state affairs and discuss peace.

How does the country face and get out of the dilemma of being subject to political and economic sanctions by other countries after the turmoil in the Adjudication Department.

It is said that there will be a mysterious distinguished guest attending the banquet tonight.

As soon as the news came out, it became a hot topic among countless people today.

Many people were moved by Prime Minister Higashikata Higashikata's efforts to lead the people through this crisis.

For a time, the voice and support for Higashikata on the Internet skyrocketed, and some good people even rated him as one of the "top ten" prime ministers in the history of Wano.

But some things have completely different meanings in the eyes of different people.

In the bustling Ginza CBD area of ​​New Tokyo, there is a top floor of a building that is so tall that it can block the skylight.

A man who looked particularly cold and noble was sitting on the top floor of an eighty-story building, looking down at the invitation letter lying on the pure black desk in front of him - a dinner invitation letter from the Prime Minister's official residence.

"Dear Mr. Kazama, CEO of Baiyin Group, on behalf of the Office of the Prime Minister, I sincerely extend an invitation to you for a dinner to discuss how Wano can change, survive, and overcome difficulties under the current situation. Prime Minister's Office

Welcome to come tonight”

Baiyin Group, one of the top ten comprehensive venture capital companies in Wano, has a history of more than 200 years.

It was initially said that he made his fortune through reselling. Currently, it mainly invests in the network telecommunications and IT industries around the world. It has invested in more than 700 companies around the world.

However, it is hard to imagine that the man behind such a company, a man named "Kotaro Kazama" on the surface, is actually "Kotaro Fuma".

And there is another identity that is more famous in Wano Country, that is, the leader of the Night Fury Revolutionary Army, a man who will inherit the name "Fuma Kotaro" from generation to generation of the ninja Fuma clan.

This now large-scale Baiyin Group is an industry that the Feng Mo family has been running for generations.

"Is there a dinner party at this time?"

The second leader of the Night Fury Revolutionary Army, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man named Hanari Wenren rubbed his chin, chuckled and said:

“What is Gongshangguo?

I’m afraid it’s to win over people’s hearts.”

I have to say that this man is indeed worthy of his reputation as the top "think tank" of the Night Fury Revolutionary Army!

My brain is far stronger than my strength. I just glanced at the invitation to the dinner and guessed the true intention behind the colorful words of the Prime Minister's Office.

Stable and win over people's hearts.

There is no way. From the time when the Adjudication Division announced its withdrawal from Wano Country to now, Wano Country has not only been subjected to foreign trade incursions from other countries that are watching with cold eyes, but also has refused to use Japanese yen to pay for goods. What’s even more worrying is the situation within Wano Country.

There has also been massive capital flight.

Those plutocratic families who usually claim to be responsible national enterprises, seeing the situation and running faster than anyone else, have transferred a large amount of their assets to the St. Malo Empire and Tagore in various forms and shorthands.

Powerful countries like the United States of America are seeking to avoid risks.

If the Prime Minister's Office does not take corresponding measures, more and more people will run away.

Then there is no need to wait for the triennial world conference to be held in Beijing in mid-June. Wano, with its massive economic decline, is probably not far from destruction.

Thinking of this, Hanagasa Onto's face showed a rare look of confusion.

In fact, he didn't understand it.

Under the current general trend, why is the so-called "most people-friendly" new Prime Minister Dong Morigu confident that he can stabilize people's hearts with a dinner?

"A mysterious guest?"

Hanagasa Wenren seemed to have thought of something, and a thoughtful look gradually appeared on his face.

At this time, Fuma Kotaro, who was sitting behind the dark desk, still had no smile on his cold and hard face like a glacier. He just raised his eyebrows and said to Hanagasa Onto, "How is the investigation going on that matter?"

Hearing Fuma Kotaro's words, Hanagasa Onto was startled for a moment. He glanced at the man's cold profile from the corner of his eyes, and considered the report:

"I sent someone to investigate and trace the number. It was in a courtyard in Shitamachi, Edogawa District. There was no one there when I went there last night, and someone was left there to guard it.

I went there again this morning and found the landlord. The landlord said that the renter was a middle-aged man who often stayed at home. He probably went out on a motorcycle yesterday afternoon and never came back today."

Having said this, Hanagasa Onto raised his head and glanced at the man's face, and was immediately startled.

I don't know if it's an illusion.
