Chapter 389 The Night Before ([-])

The girl and the bartender, who had reaffirmed their contract and affiliation, continued walking in the alleys behind the shop.

"So, where do we go next?"

Zhe Lukui took out her mobile phone and looked at it a few more times: "Keep going. The ceremony location is about two kilometers away from the current location..."

"As long as we don't get caught up by the group, it will actually be pretty quick -" Hui Ren said, looking up and looking ahead, then quickly pulled a handful of Zurikui and pressed it against the wall to cover his body.

Over the neighborhood, sirens, screams and gunshots became more frequent.

And from the road ahead, there was a sudden deafening sound of slashing.

From the exit of the alley, the scene of the ongoing conflict on the road outside was reflected.

The men in black suits were all extremely excited, drooling, with red eyeballs protruding from their mouths. They were charging, slashing, flipping over, aiming at the people on the ground, chopping them down like watermelons, and then firing.

One side retreated with the wounded, while the other stepped on the dead body to catch up.

Conflict ends as quickly as it begins.

After a while, the road outside returned to silence again, leaving only a few motionless bodies.

"Okay, although it's only two kilometers, it doesn't seem to be very fast..." Hui Ren sighed and changed his words.

Then she looked outside a few more times, not daring to go out. She just asked, "So, what is the situation in Shinjuku now?"

Along the way, the "strangeness" of Kabukicho today has become obvious.All kinds of shops seem to have gotten wind of it, and one by one closed their doors and locked their doors.

There were no pedestrians on the road.It looked as if the customers had either left early or were trapped in the store.The streets near Kabukicho were all deserted.

At this time, the only one who will appear on the street is Jidao.From time to time in the surrounding streets, there are only the hurried footsteps of groups of different extremes coming and going.Occasionally, the two groups of people seem to meet each other on a narrow road, and after a burst of intense and brief slashing sounds, they die down with the sound of pain.

Just like what they saw just now - then, not long after it ended here, there was another wave of conflict sounds in the distance.

"What's going on with the Yakuza..." Hui Ren looked at the corpses outside from a distance, raised his head to listen to the gunshots that sounded from time to time, and murmured to himself, "This scale... is far more than just the Black Dragon Society. Is it a problem with the meeting with the Mountain King?"

Zhe Lukui took out her mobile phone and checked it again, and said calmly: "That's right, it's not the Black Dragon Society and the Sanno Society. It's the entire Yakuza war that has begun."

Hui Ren walked over curiously and saw a forum displayed on the phone screen.

"A secret forum that the Yakuza brothers love to use." Orokuro explained generously, "This is the interesting thing about this era. Starting from last night, the entire process of the Yakuza war can be found here. Authentic accounts published by different people.”

Then she dragged the screen, pointed to hot discussion posts at different times, and explained briefly.

"At the beginning of the incident last night, the Sanwang Society did as I 'suggested', except for launching a full-scale invasion of the Black Dragon Society's territory, it still maintained sufficient politeness and distance from other third-party firms. It’s calm and restrained.”

She said while clicking on several anonymous topics: "But...even if the Sannoh Club can keep their composure, even if the large groups and direct subordinates of the Sannoh Club and the Black Dragon Club can keep their composure, there will always be others. People are ready to move..."

Hui Ren glanced at it, and the anonymous posts were all advocating the same point of view: the Black Dragon Society is already in jeopardy, and may not even survive the night. "

And in the discussions triggered by these topics, there is also an undercurrent: everyone is discussing as if nothing has happened, how to divide the territory if the black dragon will fall.

"It really looks like a group of hyenas." Zorokui sighed. "At this time, the benevolence and rules of the Ji Dao are still binding, but this does not prevent the hyenas from drooling and staring at their prey. They are patient. Wait, when the giant thing comes crashing down, rush in and grab a cup of offal.”

In short, except for the two families who actually took action, the atmosphere of the onlookers seemed calm, but it gradually became more intense.

"And the real trigger should be this—"

Zhe Lukui opened another topic.

The various information in this topic can be summarized into one thing: a younger brother of the "Yoshida family", a third-party force that is closer to the Black Dragon Society, suddenly came up with the idea of ​​"taking advantage of this situation, no matter what you do, there will be a Sanno Society" "Take the blame" is a good opportunity to kill one of his love rivals in the Black Dragon Club.

Unfortunately, he was only half successful: his love rival was indeed killed, but he was also captured by his rival's companions.

The younger brother of the Black Dragon Society, who was fighting with the Sanno Kai, didn't even communicate with his elder brother. Without saying a word, he stabbed the younger brother of the Yoshida family to death and threw him at the door of the Yoshida family's office.

What happened next can also be speculated from this post.

After the incident happened, the bosses of several groups may have had emergency consultations offline.At the same time, followers from all parties were engaged in a war of words online.

But it can be seen from the reply time that the scolding war had died down a few hours ago.

"—But it's not because the conflict has subsided." Zhe Lukui retreated to the topic list and swiped the screen.

As a result, Hui Ren took a deep breath as he looked at more and more news of war declarations or participation in the war posted by different groups of "official accounts".

The online scolding war ended because the guys no longer had time to go to the forum—but started to kill with real swords and guns.

The Yoshida family, the Mitsuba Society, the Inari Society, the Sakura Group, the Matsuba Family... In the end, everyone was involuntarily dragged into the war because of their unclear relationships, forming a situation that they themselves could not distinguish. Several parties joined forces to fight.

The alleys of Shinjuku have become a battlefield for the Yakuza.

"The trigger for the Yakuza war... was jealousy?" Hui Ren rubbed his forehead, feeling a little ridiculous.

"Of course you can't say that. Because today's Yakuza war is bound to happen. Anyway, if it wasn't because of this incident, there must be another trigger."

No further explanation was needed from Oroku Aoi, Hui Ren quickly remembered the scene he just saw: the abnormal bloodthirsty and excitement of the Yakuza.

"Elixir..." she murmured.

Zhe Lukui confirmed her idea: "Yes, in order to suppress fear, the brothers will definitely drink the elixir before the war.

“…Then, the gradually rising power of the medicine will erase everything.

"Fear, reason...and, humanity."

--"boom".

A sudden sound suddenly came from the road outside.

Hui Ren instinctively turned his head and looked around, and unexpectedly saw a few motionless Jida corpses lying on the ground on the road outside, which suddenly twitched violently.

——"Bang", "Bang bang".

Again several times in a row.

Now Hui Ren saw it clearly: To be precise, it was not the corpse actively twitching with its muscles - but accompanied by "bang bang" explosions, the corpse was constantly bouncing off the ground by explosions occurring in different parts of the body. Fall again.

After each explosion, a cluster of red crystals will suddenly poke out from the body surface.

Tens of seconds later, the corpse seemed to have turned into some kind of seedbed. Although a human figure could still be barely seen, the surface was completely covered by thick crystal clusters tens of meters and centimeters high.

The explosions seemed to have stopped.Hui Ren thought that the change was finally over. He frowned and turned his thoughts. He just started to think about the origin of these crystal clusters - but then, those humanoid crystal clusters started to slowly get up from the ground.

The crystal cluster monsters swayed sluggishly for a moment - then turned around suddenly and looked at Keito and Oro Aoi in the alley.

Seeing this scene, Hui Ren's mind went blank and he instinctively turned to look at Oroku Aoi.

Zhe Lukui was watching this scene intently from behind her, with no fear on her face.

She nodded her chin and muttered something: "So that's it. People are the matrix, and the panacea is the catalyst. But you still have to die before alchemy can really start.

“The prerequisite for regeneration is death, which is blackening.

"Blackening, whitening, then yellowing...

But then she tilted her head and began to think again: "But, the deaths should have started very early, right? Why did they start now..."

"This isn't the time to think!" Hui Ren said anxiously, "Isn't that the only way for us to pass?"

Before Zhe Lukui could answer, another group of Ji Dao came over from the other end of the road with murderous intent.

I don't know which group, armed with swords, guns and clubs, and dozens of Yakuza covered in blood rushed over. Before they could see the two people in the alley, they first fought with the two crystal cluster monsters standing in the middle of the road. face to face.

For a moment, the Yakuza were stunned for a moment, and their murderous aura also weakened a lot.

"What the hell is that—"

But soon, driven by the elixir, the Yakuza were once again dominated by destructive impulses.

Eyes bloodshot, drooling.The leader Ji Dao smiled ferociously, stepped up in two steps, raised his samurai sword, and struck hard at the crystal cluster monster: "——Never mind him, big brother said it, don't care which family it is from. Street Everything on the wall that can move will be chopped down!"

The crystal cluster monster still stood there sluggishly, seemingly unresponsive——

"——Ping"

With a crisp sound, the cluster monster suddenly exploded.

At the moment when the scabbard came into contact, the crystal cluster monster burst into countless fragments, like a violent rainstorm, violently pouring towards the front.

——And what is in front of it is that group of extremes.

"Ahhhhh——"

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people were blown over by the rapid and violent storm of glass shards. Each and every one of them was covered in flesh and blood, rolling and screaming in the huge pool of blood that quickly formed.

Before Hui Ren Hanmao had time to stand on his head, he heard a familiar voice again.

--"boom".

——"Bang", "Bang", "Bang".

Along with the screams, the explosion sounded again.

This time, one after another, like firecrackers.

This time, it didn't come from corpses, but from the living people who had just been baptized by red glass slag and were rolling on the ground.

More than a dozen people were rolling in a pool of blood while red crystal clusters continued to explode from various parts of their bodies.

Hiding in the alley, Zhe Lukui continued to watch this scene in rapt attention, murmuring to herself: "...activation, spread, infection. Is this the reason why blood must be shed? The reunification of Huanghua, the blending of blood is the most important thing." Convenient solution…”

"However, even living people can be infected now..." She continued to frown and think, "That's right, death is not a purely individual concept. It may also belong to a group or a piece of land.

"The material required for the Philosopher's Stone is not one or two people. Therefore, the birth stage of the Philosopher's Stone does not correspond to the 'death of the individual', but the 'death of Shinjuku.'

“When the people here die to a certain extent and bleed to a certain extent, Shinjuku will enter death.

"It's not the dead who are refined into the Philosopher's Stone. It's the people on the dead land, whether dead or alive, who are the matrix of the Philosopher's Stone.

"...In short, from now on, the 'Yellowization' will unfold in the land of Shinjuku. The self-cycle of the ritual has begun."

Hui Ren was about to cry: "This is not the time to discuss academics!!"

Over there, the transformation ceremony is drawing to a close.In the end, about a third of the dozen or so Yakuza stopped moving, while the rest stood up again - in the form of the crystal cluster monster called "Yellow Stone".

Just like the yellow stone transformed from a dead person is motionless and very quiet, the "yellow stone" transformed from a living person is also "alive".

Unlike their dead companions, their remaining faces have not stopped screaming, crying and twisting, and their bodies covered with crystal clusters are also constantly twitching and trembling.

As if to vent their pain, Huangshi quickly began to attack each other internally.

As the two yellow stones collided, the crystal clusters exploded, splashed and grew again, non-stop.

What's more, a few yellow stones gradually turned their heads and noticed the two people in the alley.

"I suggest retreating immediately-" Hui Ren whispered, and at the same time began to retreat quietly.

"Ah, but over there is the only way we must pass?" Zhe Lukui asked calmly.

When she didn't get an answer, she turned around and asked again: "Anyway, Mr. Huiren, do you still have enough ammunition reserves?"

Huiren was stunned for a while: "This is Kabukicho, and the surrounding reserves are huge, so it's not a problem. But the problem is..."

But Zhe Lukui walked out of the alley calmly, walked towards the Yellowstone monsters slowly with her arms around her shoulders: "That's okay, I can rush over... because I'm lucky."

"Ow-!!!"

"Ah——!! It hurts so much!!
"Tear those two women apart!"

The Yellowstones continued to cry and began to sprint.Along the way, the crystal clusters all over the body collided and squeezed, making a crisp sound like a music box, and sprinkled red glass shards all the way.

"——You should listen to what I have to say!! The problem is that you will be infected! According to the current situation, I am afraid that every time a round is used up, the enemy will have one more comrade!!" But that's what he said, in this situation Despite the situation, Hui Ren still gritted her teeth and pinched her forehead.

- "Bang bang bang"

Second-floor windows of buildings on both sides of the street were broken.

So the women controlled by Hui Ren were knocked out, and in the same rain of red-stained glass, they fell to the ground with distorted faces, and charged towards the Yellow Stones with the same attitude as wild beasts.
