I'm a ghost story witch in Tokyo

Chapter 100 99. Snowy Owl
The height of the steam tower is very oppressive, the dark tower body, the open door, the dark hall, this seemingly ordinary road makes Rui Ji walk out of a sense of fear of a dead end leading to hell.

According to her usual experience, being summoned by a mysterious big man behind the scenes usually doesn't end well.Those who can survive must have made an ulterior transaction with the other party.

As for what the transaction is, it must involve the field of physiology.

"What kind of person is your boss...?"

A second before stepping into the first metal gate of the steam tower, Rui Ji stopped, as if he was about to make a major decision.

"Why do you ask this?"

The impatient witch with a dagger flicked her light golden ponytail and glared at her fiercely.

"Ask whatever you want."

"You'll know what's going on after seeing you. Those of us who are subordinates shouldn't gossip behind our backs."

Another bodyguard witch with short wine red hair and facial paralysis cut off the topic, took out a metal card with intricate patterns engraved on the front and back from her pocket, and put it close to a glowing rectangular area on the wall.

Rui Ji heard a slight sound of metal operation coming from behind the luminous area, and the second closed silver metal door opened in response.Behind the door is a retro-designed metal lift, that is, an old-fashioned elevator.

It is driven by both heat and electricity. The ceiling light is always on and the light color is warm. There is no unpleasant smell of tobacco in the elevator room, and the floor is covered with soft Persian carpets.

The national quintessence handmade products from Iran are just randomly placed in the elevator and trampled on. The "boss" family may have too much money to store, and they need to use extravagance and waste to make themselves feel better.

Money can really do whatever it wants.

Looking at the beautiful carpet under her feet, Rui Ji stepped on it carefully. The two bodyguard witches passed by here every day, and they had stepped on it countless times, without any worries in her heart.

No matter how expensive the carpet is, its final function is to be used by the witch as a footstep.

The elevator does not have a button to select the floor. Instead, a circular dial is turned. The dial is marked with Roman numerals like a clock, and the pointer points to which number it stops at which floor.

The design of the dial with Roman numerals is very dark for witches who can’t understand. Everyone prefers Arabic numerals, which are easier to remember than Roman numerals.

The bodyguard witch turns the pointer to the number XXX, representing the Arabic numeral 30.The floor where the boss is located is the highest floor of the steam tower, and it takes about 30 seconds to get there by elevator.

There is a small display screen on the top of the dial, the Roman numerals on it keep beating, and stop when XXX is reached, and a "ding--" prompt sound is issued.

The elevator door opened, and the two bodyguard witches walked out of the elevator car first, and Rui Ji finally saw the world behind the elevator door.

The top floor of the steam tower is a wide circular hall. In order to ensure a good view, half of the wall is changed to a glass floor-to-ceiling window design. Standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can enjoy the night view of the entire water city and have a panoramic view of everything.

The feeling of overlooking everything is amazing, and it is different from flying on a broom in the sky.Appearing here with the identity and posture of a person in power, stepping on everything, the starting point is not in the same realm as ordinary witches who pass by.

A tall witch with a height between 165-170 was standing in the center of the hall, wearing a pure white robe with gold trim, wearing a pure black witch hat on her head, and a pair of cool straw sandals on her feet. Like an Asian witch.

The witch's skin color is between the white race and the yellow race, darker than the white race, and lighter than the yellow race, very attractive.

She turned her back to Rui Ji, staring at the night view of the floating city outside the French windows.The two bodyguard witches stood behind her and said respectfully in Japanese: "Boss, someone brought it here."

Even the very impatient witch just now, facing this witch who is a head shorter than herself and dressed in a strange dress, immediately changed her attitude from just now, her tone was as gentle as the anchor of the witch's midnight radio station, and she was still dedicated to call the witch. Answering questions, listening to troubles.

The power of money and power is indeed terrifying, Rui Ji thought.

Give other witches a little wealth that is insignificant to me, and you can make them work everywhere, do everything that is based on their own happiness, get countless praises, cheers, and pass the shop windows without standing at the door. The price tag is written in a daze, thinking how many months it will take to save enough money.

Damn rich!

Rui Ji saw that the witch had her hands behind her back, some of her fingers were wearing golden rings, and several priceless diamonds were inlaid on the front of the rings.Although she doesn't understand diamonds and rings, a rich person like "Boss" is qualified to stand on the tallest building in Flotin and stare at all the witches under her feet, so it is impossible to get a few fakes from the two-dollar store on the roadside Come to pretend to be an outsider.

She is very high-profile and likes to show off her wealth to other witches. Her plain dress is just to highlight the decorations on her body, such as rings and earrings, hairpins and shoe buckles on her head.

"Miss Sakuma, welcome."

The boss turned to face the direction of the elevator, only then did Rui Ji see a wooden Rakshasa mask on her face.The Rakshasa mask was a bit like the face of the weak witches who held the curse festival on the third night in Asahina Town. She remembered the fear of being dominated by those ghosts all night, and by the way, she remembered the mysterious witch Yue who had provided her with a lot of help.

Yue's face and the boss's face appeared alternately, the latter dispersed Yue's face with absolute presence, and was fixed in Rui Ji's sight.

It was a black mask, and a pair of silver horns with a length of more than ten centimeters grew out of its legs, so sharp that they could cut through the skin.

The nose is like a traditional Japanese ghost tengu, thick and stretched forward, with an angry expression, as if staring at a small person in front of him, with intertwined white fangs in his mouth, and the whole mask reveals a sense of gloom.

Many Japanese witches like to wear ghost masks in order to frighten the witches of the opposing faction on the battlefield.At the end of the Shogunate period, there was a folk witch organization called "Oni Mask Group", which was in the opposite position to the Shinsengumi, a folk ronin witch organization that was won over by the Tokugawa Shogunate. Each of the witches in the Oni Mask Group would wear a Raksha Oni Mask on their faces. Covering the face, it will only be taken off when killing the Shogun Witch or Ronin Witch, let them die clearly.

Now the ghost mask group has disappeared into the torrent of history and has become an inseparable part of the history of Japanese witches.It would all make sense if the boss was an admirer of the ghost mask.

In the luxurious hall, a row of knife racks are installed on the opaque wall, and each knife rack displays an exquisite sword. Even people who don't know knives can understand their value at a glance.

There are a few knives that are very familiar, it seems that I have seen it several times in the article on the appreciation of famous knives in the Warring States Period, Rui Ji only recognizes one of them, one of the Five Swords of the Warring States Period, Dadian Taiguangshi.It used to be a family heirloom of the Ashikaga family of the Muromachi shogunate, and later passed through many famous witches, and now it is in the hands of the boss.

She is so extravagant.

Rui Ji's eyes scanned the hall again and again, and found that this is not only a hall for viewing, but also the boss's office.In the hall there are desks, computers, bookshelves with glass doors, information cabinets and other items. On the right is a wide bar for bartending and other drinks. On the left is a set of light brown leather sofas with complete items.

Another storage cabinet with a transparent outer cover has a row of broom holders installed inside. There are fifteen brooms in total from left to right, each of which has no similarity to the previous one in color and style.

The boss knows that she is new here and loves to admire this gorgeous office.In fact, every witch she recruited would express the same thoughts for the first time.

"How about it, do you like the night view of Flotin seen here?"

"I don't know how to say it...it's very beautiful, right, I should be kidnapped by you now, right?"

Rui Ji will not forget the scene of the bodyguard witch with a bad attitude urging her to meet the boss with threatening words, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.

"The thing I hate most in my life is when someone puts a gun or a knife to my head."

"It was an oversight on my part, and I apologize for their incompetent behavior. But otherwise, I wouldn't be here to see you tonight. A little verbal violence makes for a beautiful thing, and I think it's worth it .”

"Are you a little bit violent... My friend was frightened when he came to Flotin for the first time. I guess he will have psychological shadows in the future. With such a bad attitude towards customers, I don't think we can make any difference between each other. beautiful thing."

She tried her best to restrain the urge to blame the boss, so as not to be held hostage by the other party, and later in Tokyo, she would suddenly be troubled by a mysterious witch.There is a gang culture among the Japanese people. Some extreme witches will be employed by companies that appear to be decent and earn a living. .

The next day, the witch who was asked for trouble by Jidao may disappear from the world and become an unsolved case of disappearance.

The boss didn't say anything threatening to her. Although he couldn't see the face under her mask clearly, the frivolous and playful tone was enough to show that this guy was smiling.

Rui Ji couldn't tell whether it was a mocking smile or a disdainful smile, but it was very annoying anyway.Then, she looked at the two bodyguard witches standing behind the boss, who were as humble as domestic servants, and with her eyes expressly signaled to the boss to "invite" them down.

Since it was a "sincere" conversation, too many idlers waited to stay in the office and felt restrained, with everything they wanted to say stuck in their throats and unable to utter a word.

The owner of the office is well versed in this, waved his hands back and forth.

"You two go down first, and someone will bring you two cups of coffee. They should be sweet. Guests don't like coffee that is too bitter. Go."

"As ordered."

The bodyguards and witches looked at each other to confirm that the boss was in a good mood, and quietly showed expressions of relief.Rui Ji skillfully captured the subtle changes in their faces, feeling a little relieved.

Bullying other witches, the guys who are arrogant will eventually be suppressed by the strong. This kind of scene is very happy to see, if there are more, it will be great.

After the extra people left, the sound of the two hurried footsteps went away, and Rui Ji was invited by the boss to sit down by the sofa.The hot tea in the teapot has just been brewed, and it seems that she prepared it in advance - specially for entertaining the guests tonight.

"I only have a pot of rough tea here. What kind of drink does Miss Sakuma like? If you don't like the tea and coffee I prepared, there are thousands of them for you to choose from."

"No, I'm not thirsty yet."

Rui Ji regards this unexpected trip as a grand banquet, and the boss dares not touch the drinks and food served to her.If there is poison in it, after taking it, I will die if I don't get timely medical treatment from the doctor and witch.

Good health is not the capital used to try poisons. Some witches are blindly confident in their physical fitness and eat poisons as food. They want to develop super drug resistance, but they are still not satisfied, so they drink the most powerful drug in the Amazon jungle. The poison tempered in the poisonous snake's body really poisoned itself to death.

The tea soup in the teacup is crystal clear, but Rui Ji has no intention of drinking it.

A copper censer the size of a basketball is placed in the censer in the corner of the office, and there are several pieces of lit incense inside. White smoke rises up, hovering and lingering under two huge gear-shaped chandeliers.

The whole office was filled with an unfamiliar light aroma, which was different from the ones in her clubhouse's swimming pool, courtyard and Platinum Palace.

She found a very important thing - the smell produced by the burning of the aromatherapy block in the incense burner can dilute the effect of the aerosol hallucinogenic potion, the heavy brain becomes lighter and refreshed in the aroma, and the heavy in the sight The shadow and the body merge into two, and the body no longer shakes.

It's shameful to say that, Rui Ji really thinks the smell of this aromatherapy is quite good.

"It's okay, it's fine if you don't like it. I'm not a witch who likes to make things difficult for others."

The boss poured tea, drank it, and repeated several rounds, leaving Rui Ji to sit beside him and wait.Rui Ji sat upright, worried that if he didn't look good, he would be punished by his boss.

The pitch-black witch hat and the pure gold silk hat have already said it all.The opponent is a big witch, or a very strong big witch.Although the witches can't see the exact magic power of each other, they can feel the strength of each other's magic power with a little learning of perception magic.

The Rakshasa demon in a white robe, she is very strong, unbelievably strong.

Just sitting next to her made Rui Ji feel a little breathless.The hideous mask exerted a strong sense of oppression on her visually. When she saw the first face, her chest tightened and her heartbeat almost stopped.

"who are you?"

Rui Ji asked while suppressing the pain of being out of breath.

"Me? Everyone calls me Snowy Owl. Don't worry about my real name, it's just a meaningless code name. My subordinates are also called by code names, and they don't know each other's real names."

"Snowy Owl..."

Immediately, an image of a large owl with a body length of 50-70 cm, a round head, and white feathers all over the body came to mind.The snowy owl is a kind of raptor that preys on mammals. It has a ferocious personality, which is somewhat similar to this witch's style.
