Tokyo people don't talk about Wude

Chapter 381 378. The Rebels
After more than an hour of bumpy ride, everyone arrived at a remote and desolate town, which should be located in the suburbs of Tokyo.

This kind of suburban town should be considered the most unfortunate abandoned child of the times. Although it is a rural area, you can occasionally see a few rice fields and trees, but it is completely devoid of the pastoral scenery and fresh air of the countryside. The air is always mixed with the pungent smell of asphalt roads and exhaust gas. It can be said that it is a city. Although there are small shopping malls and train stations in this town, it is far less prosperous than a real metropolis. Many goods need to be purchased in Tokyo. There are no entertainment facilities, and life is very boring.

Because of this, this kind of small town that is neither a country nor a city, neither up nor down, will soon become lifeless. All the young people will go to the big cities, leaving the elderly and children alone here.

It's just like Suzumiya Kazue's hometown.

But it is precisely this almost deserted town that is very suitable as a location for a secret base.

The black man parked the car behind a house next to a field, and everyone got out.

Zou Yeyin opened the door without swiping the card and said, "Please come in."

Hong Zhongjin looked around for a moment and followed them in.

On the surface, this house looks like an ordinary residential house. However, when Bonye Otono took him into the basement, he discovered a secret hidden underneath.

What came into view was a huge computer screen, which displayed the real-time progress of various tasks and dozens of surveillance pictures. The ground was covered with countless data cables, various modern equipment were densely packed in every corner, and there were bookshelves full of materials along the wall.

Just stepping into this place is enough to be infected by the solemn and quiet atmosphere here, and you can't help but hold your breath.

There are three people in this secret underground base:
A white girl with short brick-red wavy hair; a yellow man in a gray-white kimono who is repairing a long-barreled shotgun; and a yellow young man wearing black-framed glasses who is fiddling with a laptop.

"Everyone, I brought him back!" Bonye Otono cleared his throat and announced.

The three of them looked over and were stunned at the same time when they saw Hong Zhongjin.

"Is he P01?" The red-haired girl frowned slightly, quite alert: "He is quite different from the photo."

"It's absolutely true, it's him." Bonye Otona nodded in assurance.

"Hey~ You really brought him back." The man with glasses put down his computer and looked at him curiously, as if he was looking for something on him.

The man in kimono looked up, twisted his face and said with disgust: "It's just like the rumors say. A test subject for the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons."

"Everyone, if you don't mind, please take a seat first. Let's introduce ourselves to each other." Bonye Otono said, turning to look at Hong Zhongjin: "Okay?"

"." Hong Zhongjin found a chair and sat down, and ordered in a deep voice: "Speak now, it's better to make me believe that you are really capable of fighting against the Undead Courtyard Long Zhen."

"This kid has such an arrogant attitude~" The man with glasses jokingly sighed: "Yeah, his skin looks scary too, like he crawled out of a grave~"

The black uncle also found a chair and sat down, and Bonye Otomu began to introduce:
"Everyone, this newcomer is the P01 I've been talking about. He will officially join us from today."

"Each of you should introduce yourself to him and explain your background and reasons for joining this organization."

The red-haired girl stood up first and introduced calmly:

"Shiris F. Reichhard, a former FBI international agent. A year ago, I was sent to Wano Country to investigate the KJ organization, but was later exposed and arrested. Fortunately, I was rescued by Ms. Bonnet, and then I joined her plan."

"I cooperated with her for two reasons. One was to destroy the conspiracy of the Undead Temple Ryujin, and the other was to avenge my best friend."

Bonye Yinwu added: "You can call her Shilis at other times, and call her by her code name [Dusk Shadow] during missions."

The next person to speak was the black uncle who was driving the car. His accent was very difficult to pronounce: "My name is Jack Mishima, codename [Onion Head], and my identity should be an illegal immigrant from Wano Country."

"Fifteen years ago, my father heard that Wano Country was a very inclusive place that welcomed foreign friends, so he moved here with our tribe."

"But after coming here, we realized that this is not the case. What Wano Country said on the surface is a lie. It's a lie they boasted about."

"When we actually set foot on this land, we found that the people here did not welcome us at all. They regarded us as aliens and illegal immigrants, and no one accepted us."

"We have spent all our savings and there is no way to leave, so we have to survive here and do dirty work to put food on the table."

"After my father passed away, I worked as an underground boxer, bodyguard, thug, and other dangerous jobs to earn money to support the tribe. It was with great difficulty that I managed to secure a place for the tribe members to live."

"Until a year ago, I discovered that several members of the tribe had gone missing, and everyone was in a panic. I also found that some people came to our place and paid to buy children. Some members of the tribe would secretly sell their children for money."

"So I decided to investigate, and finally found out that the murderer was the KJ organization. I want justice for those people who were abducted!"

"Unfortunately, he was targeted by the KJ organization during the investigation and was almost killed." Bonnet Otonashi said: "I will protect him and let him join our team."

"Yes, I am very grateful to Ms. Bonfire for her help! And Ms. Bonfire also placed my people in a safe place temporarily!" Mishima Jack patted his solid chest, like a drum beating: "So I joined her team! I have received a great favor from her, and I must repay her!"

After saying that, Jack Mishima sat back in his chair.

The next person to introduce himself was the man with glasses. His Mandarin was not very standard, and it was obvious that he was a foreigner.

"Ahaha, it's my turn~" The man with glasses put on a shrewd smile:

"Chen Han, a native of Yanhuang, codenamed [CE Master]. As for my profession, I can think of myself as a [travel hacker]. While traveling around the world, I also take on some personal computer work. Sometimes I write my experiences into novels to earn some royalties."

"Oh, Chen Han~?" Hong Zhongjin suddenly became interested.

"I'm glad you reacted to this name~ If you have Chen Jiuzhou's memories, you should know who I am, right?" Chen Han suddenly stared at Hong Zhongjin and sighed with nostalgia:
"Chen Jiuzhou's master is my distant uncle, and our two families have frequent contacts. The old man's adopted son is also very familiar to me. We used to play together often. He is really a very likable child."

"But I didn't expect that little Jiuzhou died in an accident in Tokyo, and even his body was missing. His master was very worried about this for a long time. I really couldn't stand it. It happened that I was planning to travel to Tokyo half a year ago to collect materials, so I decided to help him find clues about little Jiuzhou."

"You should have guessed the result. I was almost targeted by the KJ organization, but I was saved by Sister Bonfire in the end~"

Chen Han suddenly changed the subject, his eyes becoming extremely serious: "I have a question, P01. You ate Xiao Jiuzhou's brain, is this true?"

"That's right." Hong Zhongjin nodded.

"Is the rest of his body still there?" Chen Han's eyes clearly flashed with a hint of anxiety.

"Still there." Hong Zhongjin snorted coldly, "His body is still in the hands of the KJ organization." "Really?" Chen Han breathed a sigh of relief, but a few wisps of anger flashed in his eyes: "Then I must bring his body back no matter what. This is my goal."

"."

Chen Han's expression returned to calm, and he sat back in his chair and continued to fiddle with his laptop.

The last person to introduce himself was the man in kimono:
"Mikazuki Meifang, codename [Blacksmith], please give me your guidance."

Sanrizuki Meifang glanced at Hongzhongjin, and a look of disgust appeared on his stern face again:
"My grandfather was an accomplice in turning you into this person."

Hong Zhongjin narrowed his eyes slightly, and murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

"Our Sanriyue family has been blacksmiths forging weapons for the emperor for generations." Sanriyue Meifang continued to explain:
"During World War II, my grandfather was selected as the military weapons production consultant for the Yamato Empire, and he designed and assisted in the manufacture of many military weapons."

"After the war, my grandfather realized that his weapons were used as tools for invasion and massacre, and he regretted it. So he gave up all his fame and fortune and retired to his hometown. He lived a simple life, chanting Buddhist scriptures and reciting Buddhist scriptures to punish himself for the rest of his life."

"In his later years, Grandpa tried many times to go to Yanhuang to apologize to those who were harmed by the weapons he made. He also wanted to teach them his lifelong skills as compensation. But he was repeatedly blocked by the Yamato government, and in the end he died in depression without even saying a word of apology to them."

"Let me make it clear in advance that I personally do not feel sorry for what happened during World War II, and I have no reason to inherit my grandfather's sins." Mikazuki Meikata's eyes were as calm as water:
"I joined Senior Bonye's team only to fulfill my grandfather's last wish. If we can reach this consensus, then the forging technology I inherited from my grandfather can be put to use for you."

"Sigh" Chen Han sighed with disdain, obviously booing him.

"As for me, you should know me well enough, Brother Hongzhong~" Bonny Night Innocent interrupted the conversation at the right time, interrupting the spark that was about to ignite:
"Kakanoya Otonashi, codenamed [Flame Wielder]. My goal is simple, to stop the KJ organization and the conspiracy of the Undead Institution Ryujin. I should do this for the stability of the world and for Wano Country itself."

After listening to everyone's introduction, Hong Zhongjin twitched his lips, and then couldn't help but laughed sinisterly:
"Humph, hahaha! What a mob, really! Quite funny!"

Hearing this, Mikazuki Meikata and Mishima Jack frowned. Chen Han pushed his glasses, and the flash of the mirror covered his unhappy eyes. The expressions of Shilis and Kagome Otonashi did not change much.

"So, you mean that our team is not qualified?" Zou Yeyin asked impatiently.

"Are you qualified?" Hong Zhongjin shrugged and said jokingly, "No, I'm just laughing at the fact that you two are not in harmony but have your own agenda! I don't know how I can trust a team like this!"

"What's more," Hong Zhongjin suddenly pointed at Bonny Night Otonashi, "The leader of this team is a two-faced female liar, isn't she~"

"Little brother Hongzhong." The corners of Kagome Otonashi's mouth twitched slightly, but his expression remained calm. "There have been many misunderstandings between us. I know you won't trust me easily. But please believe my sincerity. I intend to cooperate with you. After all, we have the same goal. As long as I can gain your trust, I am willing to pay any price."

"Pay any price~?" Hong Zhongjin sneered: "How dare you say that? Then I will do as you say~"

After saying that, Hong Zhongjin walked up to Bonfire Otonashi, grabbed her slender neck, and pretended to strangle her to death.

"Hey, what are you doing! Stop!" Shiris jumped up immediately, pulled out her pistol and aimed at Hong Zhongjin, trying to stop his crazy behavior.

"Let her go! Now!" Jack Mishima also issued a rough warning and put on a pair of metal brass knuckles.

"Sure enough. This kid has already turned into a monster. Has he gone mad?!" Sanrizuki Meifang loaded the hunting rifle in his arms and pointed the black muzzle directly at Hong Zhongjin.

"Damn, what the hell?" Chen Han pushed his glasses and quickly operated the keyboard with his hands, as if he was preparing something.

"No, it's okay. Don't come over." Even though his throat was being grabbed, Bonye Otonashi still tried his best to stay calm, staring intently at Hongzhong Jin:

"Sure enough. Only by doing this can I make you believe me?"

"Don't take everything for granted. Do you think I have to cooperate with you just because of your wishful thinking and this rubbish team?" Hong Zhongjin's eyes were deep and dead:
"How about this - I will eat your soul now. If your memory is enough to convince me, I will cooperate with you. If your memory cannot convince me, then everyone else present will also die."

"Eat it." Everyone gasped. The words of this new 'companion' made them feel the fear in their hearts.

"As expected, things are hard to predict." Bonye Otonashi's face was as pale as paper, and his breathing was extremely difficult, but he had no intention of resisting:
"If this is the only way to gain your trust, then so be it."

"Hey, what are you doing?" Shilis was confused and even began to panic: "Are you really going to let this monster eat you?"

Others were also greatly alarmed, expressing doubts and exclamations one after another.

"It's okay." Bonye Otonashi tried to force a smile at Hongzhong Jin: "To be honest, it's extremely painful for me to live in this state. I would be very happy if you could help me get rid of it, brother Hongzhong."

"So, please do it. Just save me. And if my soul is pleasing enough to you, please save the people of this world."

"Save, save, save, you want me to save you again." Hong Zhongjin's face suddenly became ferocious, as if he had touched a minefield: "Why. Why do you even say such things to me?!"

He opened his mouth to 180 degrees and put his teeth on Kajiya Otonashi's head.

"Crack!"

Blood splattered everywhere.

"Ahhhh——!"

Jack Mishima put his head in his hands, obviously terrified: "Oh my god, he really ate it."

"God damn it!" Hillis gnashed her teeth, "Why did it turn out like this? How can we carry out the plan if it continues like this!"

"Damn it, it's just like a B-rated movie!" Chen Han paused typing on the keyboard, picked up his laptop to check it, and then said to himself inwardly:

"Hey, what's going on! Little Jiuzhou, little Jiuzhou, you were also eaten by this madman!"

A trace of entanglement and pain flashed in Sanrizuki Meikata's eyes.

"Has Yamato's sin reached this point?" He sighed softly, "It has come to this, it is all karma. It is so pitiful and hateful."

No one, including Hong Zhongjin, saw the expression on Bonye Yinwu's face before he died.

It was a smile of peace and relief, like a bird in a cage finally breaking free and flying back into the wind.
