Chapter 362 The Way of Soul Guarding

Chapter 362 The Way of Soul Guarding
——Shinjuku Kabukicho, Sannokai site, high-end Japanese restaurant "Toyotei", evening——

On the other side of the paper door, the cadres of the Sanwanghui were having a banquet.

Amidst the mingling of drinks, various sounds came and went.

The sound of wine glasses being knocked and chewing.Scoops, greetings.Music, singing.

The sound seemed to be attached to the various changing shadows, and the scene happening on the other side of the paper door was reflected on the paper door like a shadow puppet show.

It was cadres in black suits eating and drinking rudely;

The young men in white sweatshirts and trousers held wine bottles and nervously observed the cadres’ wine glasses. They often had to trot over to respectfully and loudly greet and refill the glasses;

Far away from the crowd, no one paid attention to the kabuki actors, just like the background, but they did not dare to stop and just continued to play the pipa and sing.

But what everyone seemed to turn a blind eye to was a spiritual card placed in the center of the banquet's long dining table.

But the more lively and dynamic that side is, the more contrastingly quiet the atmosphere becomes in the inner room across the door.

Compared with the outside, there are not many people inside the house, but there are three styles that cannot be integrated with each other.

Sitting cross-legged in the middle of the Japanese room is Inada, the owner of the mansion here, the president of the Sanno Association.A little further behind him were kneeling Ruotou and several Guild Master Fu.

Sitting across from them was a guest who looked so weak in comparison... Oruru Aoi, who looked like an overly young female civil servant.

And on the side of the host and the guest who were sitting and looking at each other, there was actually a witch sitting.Regardless of her position or identity as a miko, she seemed to be the mediator or introducer between the host and the guest, the underworld and the civil servants - she was a craftsman who had somehow returned to the body of a miko in Hachimangu Shrine.

Quiet, dimly lit.

On the other side opposite the banquet hall is a paper door that is only for decoration.Behind the open paper door is actually the glass exterior wall of this thirty-story tower.The night view of Shinjuku viewed from the [-]th floor is also projected through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

The President of the Sannokai Inada, wearing a haori, seems to be just an ordinary old man who can even be called kind.

He was turning his head to look at the scenery outside, holding his hand that had lost several of its distal knuckles and muttering something.

——It seems to be some kind of transcendence.

After a long time, he turned around and said in a slow voice: "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, people get superstitious without knowing it."

"It's unlucky that you're here. Our Mountain King Guild and the Black Dragon Guild are at war. Today is the first day of one of my adopted sons. Our habit is to have a lively banquet at the end to send him off, so it's OK It cannot be postponed.”

"What I mean is that when I meet you at this time and in this place, don't misunderstand that the Mountain King is deliberately neglecting Hachimangu."

Then, he turned and smiled at Orokui: "...and not to mention there is such an unexpected guest from -"

"——From the Group..." He sighed with emotion, "The Group is an ally of the Black Dragon Society..."

"Ah, did I just say that? Today is the first day of my adopted son's life..." The old man pretended to tuck his ears and slowed down his speech, "My son will be killed by the black dragon. The first seven of the dead adopted sons.”

At some point, the banquet that was supposed to be going on happily next door had gone silent.

--silence.

Along with this, there are countless tall and silent figures, one after another, reflected on the paper door, as if they are looking into the paper door.

"So, what do people from the group do to come to me?"

In the silence, President Inada's smile remained kind.

But the two presidents behind him suddenly jumped up from the floor.

Two fierce young men were responsible for speaking up for their eldest brother as usual.They seemed to be in disarray, but they actually cooperated and took turns using their tongues to yell at Oroku Aoi: "Asshole! You're mute! Speak!!" "You guys, are you here to humiliate the Sannokai!" "Black Dragon Club" My lackey, leave your finger and I can let you out!"

It was a storm that ordinary people would definitely cry on the spot. These ferocious jihadists behaved exactly as ordinary people imagined: as if they would really draw out their fists or weapons at any time regardless of the consequences, and aim at the delicate girl's head Smash it down.

Zhe Lukui always had a calm expression.

When the storm subsided a little, she finally spoke.

"Huh? Are you the first seven of my friends? You will get used to it soon... Because if you continue like this, it won't be long before the Sannoh Society will be completely defeated by the Black Dragon Society." The girl's expression was as calm as ever, but the first sentence The words are astonishing.

President Inada still just smiled kindly.

But Ruotou and several of his younger brothers were stunned for a moment because of the suddenness of these words.

But since the president is watching, they cannot remain indifferent no matter what.

So, they quickly adjusted their emotions and shouted angrier than before: "Bastard!! What stupid things!" "You bastard, do you want to die?!" "Kill you! You little bastard!"

Zhe Lukui seemed not to hear it at all, and did not even raise her head to look at the cadres.

She just picked up the tea in front of her and covered the mouth of the cup with the lid of the teacup with a look of disgust on her face.

After the two cadres finished scolding her, she opened the lid again and took a sip, then calmly continued: "The so-called human society is like a herd of sheep."

"He who calls himself a sheepherder is the 'zodiac'."

"Other than that, the 'Jidao', 'Shenbu', 'Lingshou'... to be honest, in the eyes of the pretentious 'Zodiac', they all seem to be just tools for herding sheep, and they are only used when needed. , a shepherd dog that runs around and cooks when it is not needed..."

"...There is no way. The so-called 'right' of the righteous path means that the zodiac is 'frontally facing human beings'. The extreme path lives in the cracks of society, and the gods and spirit guardians are facing the 'outside' of human society. ...So for human society, the ecliptic is the sun overhead, and the others are just 'shadows'."

"Perhaps it is precisely because they are all shadows that the three of them, the Yakuza, the Gods and the Spirit Shou, also need each other. The Yakuza, who are in the gap between society, will encounter more abnormal things than ordinary people. Only the gods and Lingshou can solve it. But after all, the gods or Lingshou cannot completely escape from the soil of society and survive in the world. In many cases, the Yakuza needs to use invisible means to solve the problem."

"Moreover, only by working together can we barely compete with the Zodiac and gain a foothold."

"Therefore, Jidao and Shenshu, Jidao and Lingshou, Shenshu and Lingshou, Jidao and Jidao of different groups, Shintos and Shenfus of different schools... Since ancient times, under the social surface called Zodiac, mutual There is an intricate alliance between them.”

"Our group...or the Lingshou Alliance, although we don't have as many independent factions as the Yakuza or Shinto, we still follow such a convention."

"So in this generation, the Sanno Society has formed an alliance with the Shinto-Xiu Unity Faction represented by Hachimangu Shrine... and the group has chosen the Black Dragon Society as its agent in the human world."

At this point, Zelokui's mouth may be dry.

She lowered her head and took a sip of tea.

President Daddy said slowly, "Little girl... are you here to teach me? I know these histories better than you."

So Oroku Aoi raised her head and looked at Chairman Inada for the first time: "Yes, these are just boring history... So, does the president think that history will continue to go on in this boring way? The president doesn't think that there have been recent developments. Is there something wrong?"

"What happened on the 'Kamito' side was that a new Saio named 'Ibuki Rika' was appointed. This new Saio, who has no Jingu bloodline, seems to be the only one who stands out because of his cruelty and debauchery. But Under her suppression, the Xiheyi faction is indeed retreating step by step. This new king will soon truly lead Shinto like never before."

"And the 'Jida' is not at peace either. You are more familiar with the things here. I won't go into details. In short, the Black Dragon Society suddenly started a war against the Mountain King Society without any explanation."

"But what you are more concerned about...should still be the zodiac, right? The zodiac's vision has never been more urgent. Or, to put it bluntly, the police have been closing in on you step by step recently. Just watching the news, you have How many cadres have been prosecuted for small but solid crimes?"

After waiting for a moment, Zhe Lukui revealed the answer calmly: "Zhe Li is exerting his strength. He wants to... unify."

"The new Sai-o is an ally of Zheli, and so is the Black Dragon Society...and, obviously, he also has the support of Zodiac."

"So, the order is this: first the Shinto, then the Ultimate."

"The Xi Heyi faction is already the loser and will be completely eradicated soon."

"Then, Zheli will be free to deal with the Jida with all his strength."

"The Black Dragon Society's current attack is just a trial. But when it comes to the actual general attack... can the Mountain King Society, which has lost its allies, still be able to support itself independently?"

"So, I was right. The Mountain King will only look huge, but soon, it will fall and meet its end," she concluded.

There was silence in the room.

Orokuchi closed the lid of the tea cup with a calm expression.Then the only sound sounded in the room - the sound of the tea cup lid gently knocking against the rim.

As if awakening from a dream, the Jidao boys roared again.

"How bold, how dare you say such arrogant words!!"

"A little girl like you... I guarantee you won't even be able to express your regrets when the time comes!"

"Don't underestimate the Yakuza!"

"President!! Let me kill her now!!"

But after a burst of noise, Wakagami Matsuhiro, who was behind President Inada, glanced at President Inada and raised his hand to indicate that the barking boys stopped and retreated in an instant.

President Inada wrote lightly: "Don't be rude in front of Miss Momoji."

"No, don't worry about me. I said it from the beginning, I am just a recommendation, and I will not guarantee or take any responsibility for the words and deeds of this Miss Zhe... To be honest, by now, my matter is already over. "The craftsman also smiled and said, "I'm still sitting here, I just want to watch a show... For example, as you said, really tearing Miss Zhe's mouth to pieces would be a good show."

"Haha..." So Inada turned to Zorukui kindly and said: "So, little girl, what's the use of telling me these things? Or, what do you want me to do?"

"So -" Oroku Kwai knocked on the tea bowl and said calmly, "Let's form an alliance. The Sanno Club is not with the group, but with me."

There was silence in the room for another moment.

Then, Wakato Matsuhiro was the first to laugh out loud.

He said: "Little girl, have you thought too little about our news?"

"You just said, 'First the Shinto, then the Extreme Dao'... But it's clear that the first one to be rectified by Zheli is your own Lingshou, isn't it?"

"Although Lingshou Ichi always appears to be united and single-minded to the outside world, there are factions internally, right? And you, little girl..." Wakatou Matsuhiro knocked on the ground twice and pointed. Liao Zhe Lukui roared, "You, a defeated dog who escaped, why are you so arrogant here?"

"Well, I lost before, but I will win in the future." Oroku Aoi's expression did not change, she just stared at President Inada and said, "As long as the Sanwang is willing to stand on my side."

President Paddy smiled and said nothing.

"Oh?" Hironori Wakatomatsu continued to replace his elder brother and sneered, "What chance do you have of winning?" Oroku Aoi was silent for a moment and said calmly: "Let's be honest, I need Sannoh to help me find something. thing.

"The Lingshou lineage pays more attention to the so-called 'bloodline' than both Shendu Ji Dao and Huang Dao. Therefore, it is from this point that Zheli expels me.

"But...let me keep the details a secret for the time being. I can only guarantee that as long as I find such a thing, I will have a chance to make a comeback."

Wakatou Matsuhiro fell silent.He frowned and turned to look at President Inada.

President Inada laughed again.

"But, little girl, you're still talking empty words up to now." The old man raised his hand steadily, pointed at Zhe Lukui and said, "You are a defeated dog now. You have no funds, no weapons, You have no subordinates. Expelled from the group, you are just a loser with nothing and nothing to convince me."

"No, that's not the case." Zhe Lukui said calmly, "The group cannot take away my greatest support. I will always carry it with me."

"Oh? What is that?"

"My luck." Zulu Kui's expression didn't look like he was joking at all. "My luck is very, very good. This is my greatest weapon."

The room was quiet for a moment, and then under the leadership of Matsuhiro, all the Yakuza began to burst into laughter.

"President Inada, you said you are superstitious... No, in fact, you should say you are a gambler, right?" But Orokuchi didn't smile at all and continued, "Your two fingers are not actually like Like other Ji Dao, they were cut off when I was my brother-in-law to take the blame for my eldest brother... Both times, you took the initiative to cut them off as a bet."

"Then, don't you take a gamble on my matter?"

This time, Inada seemed to be really interested, and he touched his chin.

Wakatou Matsuguang watched his words carefully and motioned to the younger brothers to shut up.

"I do like gambling." President Inada continued to touch his chin and said with interest, "But, little girl, if you want to gamble, you must first go to the gambling table. And you have already lost all your bets and were driven to gamble. It's off the table. How can I bet on this?"

"Yeah, but if you are lucky enough, the chips won't matter at all, right? They will fall from the sky on their own anyway."

"You mean, your luck is going to be this good?"

Oroku Aoi nodded, then turned to Wakatou Matsuhiro: "Wakatou, I heard that you have a Colt detective revolver. You love it very much and always carry it close to you. Can you lend it to me? For a moment?"

Just as Songguang frowned, President Inada said decisively: "Matsuguang, give it to her."

Ruotou had no choice but to take out the gun from his suit and let his younger brother give it to him.

Zurikui took over the small short-barreled gun commonly known as the "Lion Nose", skillfully opened the wheel, poured out all the bullets in the six bullet chambers with a bang, took another one and stuffed it again go back. .

Ruotou seemed to understand what Orokui wanted to do: "You want to..."

But before he could finish his words, Orokuchi had simply stopped loading, spun the wheel with a "swish" sound, and then closed the wheel with a "click".

Next, she calmly pointed the gun at her temple.

"Sure enough..." Song Guangruo curled his head, and then a contemptuous expression gradually appeared on his face.

"—Crack"

Zelukui pulled the first trigger with a calm expression.

Nothing happened, the bullet was not in this chamber.

Missed.

The people on the opposite side were silent for a moment.

Matsuhiro Wakatou was the first to sneer.He leaned back, and proudly commented: "It's considered courageous, but with such a high probability of five out of six, I dare say that I'm lucky..."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly frowned and realized that Orokui had not put down the gun.

The muzzle of the gun was still pressed against her temple.

"—Crack"

Zhe Lukui's face was dull, but her finger decisively pulled the trigger again.

The trigger sounded.But this time, too, nothing happened.

The second shot missed.

Because of this unexpected development, Ruotou unconsciously showed a somewhat surprised expression and murmured: "Five-sixths, four-fifths..."

President Inada narrowed his eyes, rested his elbows on his folded thighs, held his chin, and stared at Oroku Kui. He said nothing, but he was in high spirits.

But Orukui didn't give him any more opportunities to think.

Her gun was still pressed against her temple, and her expression remained calm.

Five seconds later, she fired the third shot.

"—Crack"

Three shots, no hit.

There are three bomb nests left, and the probability of being hit is one-third.

Ruotou's expression has become completely serious.

"Five-sixths, four-fifths, three-quarters." Fu, a president next to him, said in a low voice.

Then, in the small and quiet room, the breathing of several people sounded heavier.

Several people stared at Orokui, watching her next move.

Another precise five seconds passed, and Zhe Lukui's fingers once again pressed the fourth round firmly.

"——Click".

Four shots missed.

"The remaining one-half..." It wasn't just someone who whispered.

No more, no less, five seconds later,
The air in the Japanese room was as heavy and oppressive as the deep sea.

Zhe Lukui stared into their eyes, and even reminded them softly and considerately: "Look carefully, okay?"

Ruotou unconsciously clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

She pulled the trigger as casually as the breeze.

"——Click".

Ruotou's eyelids twitched violently, and several younger brothers jumped up from the ground at the same time uncontrollably.

But Zulu Kuei is still intact.

Five shots missed.

But there must be bullets in the remaining bullet chamber.

So this time, Orokui finally put down the gun.

Then, several jiudao began to let go of their held breath and breathed hard.

After a while, Wakatou Matsuhiro realized his gaffe and became angry because of it.

"You bastard, what on earth are you trying to do!" he roared angrily.
Zhe Lukui replied calmly: "What trick is needed? The final probability of surviving five consecutive times is still as high as 16.6%... In other words, out of ten people, only eight will die and one will survive."

"Oh... that's right, it's just a 16% probability. It doesn't show how lucky I am at all."

Then, Orokui raised his hand again and pressed the revolver with the last bullet destined to be in the cylinder to his temple, showing a faint smile: "The next step is the real proof."

"It will get stuck." Zulu Kui predicted with a calm face, "Because, I am lucky."

Wakatou Matsuhiro, a cadre who had experienced hundreds of battles and was used to seeing bloodshed, was rarely at a loss.

"...Oh, no, that's enough." The old man's voice came from behind.

Wakatou Matsuhiro was agitated, and his mind that was overwhelmed by anger suddenly came to his senses - he suddenly knew what he should do most now.

Matsuhiro rushed over and took the gun out of Oroku Aoi's hand, then held it with both hands, knelt down and quickly moved in front of President Inada with his knees: "Dad, this gun... I am not!"

"Please check it yourself!!" He hurriedly wanted to defend himself, "I didn't do anything, and I didn't conspire with outsiders to deceive you——"

"Don't worry about that!!" Inada waved his hand violently and interrupted him with a roar that was inconsistent with his short body. "Of course I believe you! Of course there will be no problem with your gun!"

"——So." Then, the old man stared at Zhe Lukui and laughed, "Little girl, you are so interesting."

"You really didn't prepare any tricks. You just think... it doesn't matter if you die, right?"

"No, I should say...little girl, you are the one here who is most looking forward to your brain blossoming, right? You have this look!"

"I won't misjudge the person!!"

Zhe Lukui just picked up the tea and took a sip.

It's like I don't want to admit it, but I don't want to deny it either.

In the end, she just slightly tilted her gaze to look at the deserted corner of the room, and gave a seemingly meaningless response: "Oh...ah."
