Chapter 256: The Chief of the Hundred Ghosts
Inside the unique tea pavilion, there was silence, with only the hum of tea being boiled on the stove. The footbath tea ceremony originated from the Celestial Dynasty, but it was more ink-dark than the tea ceremony of the Celestial Dynasty. It even strictly restricted the use of good charcoal fire to boil water, and
Let the guests watch how the tea master adds charcoal.
If a thirsty person is waiting for a drink of water to save his life, he will definitely die sitting here with his eyes open.
Lin Xi is well-educated and has a tutor in patience, so she can naturally sit with her legs together and enjoy Yamaguchi Nami's performance. Thirteen is patient because she knows that this is a test. Although Nami welcomes them into the house, she has not yet agreed to send them off.
Going to Dongjing, being kidnapped is a misfortune, and helping terrorists is a sin.
There has to be an explanation for a young lady with huge connections and a future to bet on terrorists, right?
"Mr. Thirteen, have you ever drank footbath tea?" Nami asked while beating tea leaves and grinding them into powder.
"I don't like to drink things that are not sweet." Thirteen smiled.
"Although tea is bitter, the aftertaste is sweet. Just like in life, if you don't experience pain, you won't see the rainbow."
"I'm sorry, Miss Nami. Maybe you don't know yet. We are really in a hurry. Can we save our lofty talk about life philosophy for later?" Lin Xi interjected, "Now I just want to know how you plan to send us to Dongjing.
?”
"I'm afraid Miss Lin Xi misunderstood. I only agreed to take you in temporarily, but I didn't agree to where to send you. Before finishing this cup of tea, should I call to arrange your itinerary or hand you over to the police? It's still a matter of course.
Unknown." Nami slowly started making tea.
"You..." Lin Xi's patience was at its lowest point. She wanted to say something but was stopped by Thirteen.
"You want to know the truth?" Thirteen asked softly.
"Never brew tea you don't understand, because you don't know how much water and how many processes should be used to bring out its delicious taste. This is what my master taught me."
"Okay, I'll tell you everything." Thirteen told Nami without hesitation his identity, origin and purpose, and even whether Anbeiwan was a human being. This calm woman was stunned for a few seconds, and the tea boiled.
The flavor is a little stronger.
"Mr. Thirteen is planning to trick me to death without paying for it..." Nami placed Chucha in front of Thirteen and Lin Xi.
"Why did Miss Nami say this?" Thirteen chuckled.
"You spoke so thoroughly and clearly wanted to trick me into seducing me. I even know that the Prime Minister is not a human being. If I don't help you destroy the Hundred Demons Night Alliance, I will always be living in the risk of being silenced.
." Nami is also a smart person. When smart people chat with smart people, every word is a weapon.
"Miss Nami overestimates me. I came here just to take my friends away. As for destroying the Hyakuki Night Alliance, I don't have the ability. To me, even one of their minions is a boss. If
The problem can be solved through negotiation, even if we kneel down and negotiate, I am willing to do so." Thirteen's shameless face had a funny temperament.
"I'll help you, but I have a condition." Nami said solemnly, "Take me with you."
"No." Lin Xi had countless reasons to refuse.
"This is really a bit difficult." Thirteen's team already has a combat slugger like Mouse, and adding another Nami is completely self-inflicted.
"Do you know what kind of felony it is to help you resist the Prime Minister of our own country? Once you fail and are held accountable, neither I nor the entire Yamaguchi-gumi will have a chance to survive.
But as long as it is explained as being forced to act under hostage, although the statement is a bit far-fetched, there is a reason at least, and it can still be done with the help of the Yamaguchi-gumi's connections to prevent it from being destroyed.
It is impossible for monsters to truly rule this country. The human world has become so complicated that even humans can hardly play with it. If we don't cooperate with others, we will eventually perish. As long as they still want to mess around, we have the capital to survive.
"A counselor is not a representative of invincibility. Victory in defeat and survival in death are the only criteria to test a counselor.
"Besides, I don't necessarily need your protection." While making the second pot of spring water, Nami stood up and picked up the long bow and genuine arrow feathers lying aside, just like the first time with Thirteen
The bowstring was fully drawn as when they met, aiming at a small wind chime in the middle of a small stone lampstand meters away on the lake outside the tea pavilion. The hole through the stone lampstand was only the size of a one-yuan coin. Even the most outstanding gunman could see it.
It will also be difficult to shoot like this.
But the moment Nami released her finger from the bow string, Thirteen knew that she was sure to hit the target. The arrow feathers rotated through the hole and shot down the bell without even a trace of arc.
"Make me some demon-breaking arrow feathers, like the ones in TV dramas, so I can protect myself." Nami said and sat down again and started making strong tea.
"I don't understand why you want to accompany me. Although I dragged you into trouble, I don't believe you have no other way to deal with it." Thirteen said doubtfully.
"Maybe I have a way to stay out of it, but there is no way that can help me change my current predicament." Nami picked up the tea cup and sighed, "I have always wanted to change my current life of stagnant water, and I am like this cup
The tea in the tea, no matter how exquisitely brewed it is, can only be packed in a small tea cup.
I want you to promise me that if I help you find your friend, you will take me to heaven."
"Take you away? Do you want me to be hunted to death by Yamaguchi-gumi killers for the rest of my life?"
"Are you afraid of gangsters?" Nami smiled.
"Deal." Thirteen said cheerfully.
"Let's rest first. We have a batch of goods that will be sent to Akihabara in Dongjing tonight. They are contraband and are exempt from inspection. We can hide you in the goods and take them away. If it's quick, it will be there in 3 hours.
We can get to Dongjing." Nami pushed the strong tea in front of Thirteen.
"Three hours to Beijing? Take a plane?" Thirteen now had a shadow of the plane and ship system.
"It's more comfortable than flying. Take the Shinkansen there." Nami was talking about the "high-speed train" with a foot basin.
The biggest problem was solved. Thirteen finally tasted the sweetness in the tea that Nami mentioned. However, Lin Xi still felt that this would not be an easy journey. Perhaps this was the legendary woman's sixth sense.
The train left at 9 o'clock at night, and the ancient house was only a 10-minute drive from the station. After drinking Nami's tea, it was already 6 o'clock in the afternoon. They could rest for another 2 hours before setting off. Lin Xi, who had been so nervous last night, didn't even think about it.
How could I ever sleep? I feel quite tired now after all the hard work.
Hearing that there was an open-air hot spring in the ancient house, Lin Xi vaguely remembered how famous the hot spring in the footbath was, so he went to take a bath with great interest.
As the sun sets, you soak in the pale yellow hot spring water with the afterglow. The unique sulfur trace elements dilute your physical fatigue.
Lin Xi hasn't felt so relaxed for a long time. Nearly three months have passed since joining the Underworld Bureau. It feels like three years. There is no gap to enjoy the tranquility. Instead, he is always surrounded by various events.
It seems that as long as you relax a little, you will immediately be torn alive by evil spirits and live a tense life.
Just when Lin Xi was resting by the pool with a towel hanging over his face, the soft voice came to his ears again, "You know? It's a very unfortunate thing for a ghost catcher to fall in love, because you never know.
When will the other half lose his life?
Sometimes it only takes a second for a family to go from being established to being broken."
Lin Xi suddenly turned her head to look, and Akoko's Yamaguchi Nami was actually sitting next to her. Not only did Lin Xi not feel Nami's aura at all, he didn't even feel the ripples when she entered the water, as if she had always been here.
generally.
The toes of his left foot traced a spell on the floor in the pool. Nami smiled lightly, but a sharp ax was already pressed against his throat.
The axe-wielding Ibaraki boy stopped at the edge of the pond and said "Amitabha".
"If I were you, I wouldn't do that unless you really overestimate your abilities and think you can defeat two big monsters." Nami advised kindly.
"What do you want to do?" Lin Xi asked calmly even though he was reduced to a fish.
"Actually, I don't know what I want to do. In my plan, you and your friends should be dead. But your fighting power and your information show that there is a big way out, especially with the appearance of Lin Hedou.
, they are heaven-level demon hunting armed forces with strength comparable to that of heaven-level investigators.
Of course, Thirteen's performance is even more astonishing. There are very few characters in my memory who can force Ibaraki Doji to lose his cultivation." Nami was not shy about her words of praise.
"Do you want to kill us?" Lin Xi obviously asked a question that shouldn't be asked.
"No, at least not now. If you carefully check the information about Thirteen, you will know that he is definitely not a pawn to the Underworld Bureau that can be discarded casually.
We, the Hundred Ghost Night Alliance, and your Ten Thousand Demons Hidden World will have some accounts to settle, but we have never thought of provoking the Underworld Bureau’s intervention.”
"What about Tong? What about those missing liaison officers from the Underworld Bureau?" Lin Xi said unfailingly.
"Don't talk to me so loudly. I don't want to provoke the Underworld Bureau, and I didn't say that I was afraid of killing you." Nami said ferociously at the moment her face appeared, "Tong is my member of the Hundred Ghosts, and there is nothing wrong with returning to the Hundred Ghosts Night Alliance.
, as for your liaison officers...please, they secretly sneaked into our country to spy on intelligence. They should be punished as espionage and shot, right?
They did not die, but their personal freedom was temporarily restricted."
"You also want to restrict our freedom?" Lin Xi whispered.
"No, the risk of imprisoning you is too high. It is more in line with our current interests to send you away. As for Tong, whether to stay or go with you depends on her own choice.
However, it is a pity that you have already killed many of our monsters. If we let you go like this, there will be a lot of strange voices inside. The most important thing for the management team is not to let the subordinates see the weak side, otherwise the monsters will disappear.
It's time." Nami had already finished washing, stood up, and walked towards the exit.
"I have arranged a feast for you to attend. Whether you can survive until the end of the banquet depends on your luck. In addition, this is a little secret between you and me. If I find out that you have quietly told Thirteen, I'm sorry.
I will take matters into my own hands and send you all to the Paradise." After Nami left, the axe-wielding Ibaraki Doji also followed.
"Can you tell me what kind of monster you are?" Lin Xi turned around and asked.
