Dragons: Reboot the New World

Chapter 240 Scene No.20 "I will tear down the Wall of Jericho"

Night falls in Tokyo, but the city is not dark. The neon lights on the long streets light up from east to west. This is a strange city. It is lifeless during the day, but it is full of life at night. It seems that the sports girl in plain clothes has turned into a temptation. The connotation of feasting and feasting gradually became stronger.

The terrace known as "Xingshen Temple" is covered with tatami mats. On the long table is a deep-sea bluefin tuna weighing two hundred kilograms. The belly of the fish is cut open with a Honyaki kitchen knife as bright as a mirror. The fish belly is as tempting as pink marble.

Surrounding this main course are teriyaki puffer fish, charcoal-grilled spring fish, peony shrimp sashimi, and blue lobster sashimi flown from France, and the mellow and fragrant Kuroyukishima sake is chilled in the sake flask.

On the small table in front of everyone were cooked Kobe beef, gooseneck barnacles, Bellevue-style cold quail, and turkey patties with truffles.

Tonight is cooked by our chef himself, and the treatment is much higher than at a three-star Michelin restaurant at noon.

In order to entertain the distinguished guests of the headquarters, the chef personally created a dish called "Born Like a Summer Flower" based on the poetry in Rabindranath Tagore's "Asky Birds", presenting the grandest and most gorgeous aspect of Japanese cuisine to diners.

But in Yuan Zhisheng's opinion, this was purely a show of cuteness for a blind man. The three [-]s across the table had no idea how to appreciate the splendor of summer flowers and were immersed in the harvest of the day's shopping.

Chu Zihang bought a Kansai iron teapot, Lu Mingfei was holding a limited edition figure of Mikuru Asahina against Xiaya's Haruhi Suzumiya, Nono bought a complete set of JOJO comics, and Fingel was facing The looted beauty photo magazines were drooling, and what Caesar bought was parked downstairs. It was a van.

Caesar walked into Matsuzakaya, which stood on the streets of Ginza, and took the catalog from the boss. Without looking at it carefully, he casually circled the top ten products with the highest price tags and said, "Give me thirty copies of each." The boss looked at This foreigner with a tone louder than the sky said tremblingly, "Sir, regarding the price..."

Then the box truck hired by Caesar drove over, and the boss shut up obediently and began to ask the clerks to move things to Caesar's truck.

Then this lawless foreigner walked into a Kyoto silverware shop and said he would start loading the car with thirty sets of the most expensive silver tea sets each, and then walked into a "Shippoyaki" shop...

He posted on the Night Watch forum that he would bring a gift to everyone in the student union, and he was true to his word in this regard.

Minamoto worked as a tour guide and shopping guide for a whole day, watching Caesar take the box truck from one store to another, swiping his card and swiping his card again, watching Natsumi cosplaying Haruhi Suzumiya being forced by his own Dragon King Chu Zihang, who cosplayed with Ukyo Tachibana, took photos in various places, taking pictures of this and that, watching Nuonuo and Lu Mingfei eating in the streets hand in hand, and Fingel crazy about chatting up passing beauties...

It wasn't until the dark clouds covered the sky and the big raindrops fell that a few lunatics started running together with the people hiding from the rain. Chu Zihang was fully prepared, opened his Burberry umbrella and walked with Xia Mi in the rain, cherry blossoms Slowly fell on his umbrella.

Coupled with the Murasame slung around his waist, he has the style of a ronin samurai during the Warring States Period.

Yuan Zhisheng couldn't figure out whether these three men were too nervous or too confident. Tomorrow night they would carry out a high-risk "SS" level mission, but he couldn't tell how nervous they were.

"This undressed doll is your favorite Mikuru Asahina? What a pervert toy." Caesar looked at Lu Mingfei playing with the figures curiously, "But when she takes off her clothes, she is just a plastic doll with a mediocre figure."

"First of all, this is not called a stripping doll, it's called a figure. Secondly, this is not a pervert toy. You can take off your clothes because it has a dressing function, not for you to take off your clothes and watch the naked body!"

"I saw a store selling something similar. It's life-size and can be changed into different costumes." Caesar drank sake.

"Did you accidentally enter some strange adult products store? That's not a figure, it's an inflatable doll!"

"Oh, it is indeed inflatable... I was also curious at the time why the Japanese made human-shaped lifebuoys."

Bai Yuansheng really didn't want to listen to this kind of meaningless dialogue. He wanted to get up and leave immediately, but he couldn't. He could only lower his head and wipe the spider.

"Can I see your knife?"

Yuan Zhisheng raised his head and met Chu Zihang's eyes. He remembered that Chu Zihang's usual weapon was also a Japanese sword.

"Then show me your Murasame." Yuan Zhisheng said, holding the spider in his hands. Chu Zihang also took it with both hands, placed it squarely on the table, then took off the Murasame from his waist and handed it to The source is childish.

The two of them drew their swords at the same time, staring at the blade in the dim light of the candle on the table.

Chu Zihang blew out the candle, and after the light source disappeared, the spider became brighter, as if there was an invisible cold moon in the night sky illuminating it.

"Hey, you can't turn off the lights. I'll eat mustard up my nostrils if I'm blind," said the dazzling Fingel.

"Is it an ancient knife? Such an expensive thing is still used as a weapon?" Chu Zihang handed the spider back.

"If you put it in a sword museum, it will be considered an antique, but the sword still needs to be used before it can be called a sword. If you put it in a museum, it will just be the corpse of the sword." Yuan Zhisheng said lightly, "Your Murasame is very good, it should be Alchemical products, right?”

"It's something left by my father, but he's gone." Chu Zihang said, "What's its name? It always smells like blood."

"The evil spirit lurks in the spider mountain at night." Yuan Zhisheng replied, "The knife is made of dirty stuff. The more it is used, the dirtier it becomes. The blood stained on it can be washed away, but the fishy smell remains on it."

"Is your knife also a family heirloom?"

"No, I haven't met my father, and he didn't leave me anything. I'm an orphan. I was adopted with my younger brother when I was young, and it wasn't confirmed that I have the blood of the Yuan family until I grew up." Yuan Zhisheng said , "Like Lonely George, do you know Lonely George?"

"I've heard that it is very famous. Some say it is the loneliest animal in the world." Chu Zihang said.

One of Chu Zihang's few hobbies is reading, and he will pick up any book and read it, so he knows a lot of unpopular knowledge, such as the Pinta Island tortoise named George.

"The Minamoto family is an old family, but there have been fewer and fewer members of the Minamoto family since the Edo period. At one time, the family elders thought that the Minamoto family had no descendants. But they found my brother and me in the mountains, and we were confirmed to have descendants. The blood of the Yuan family and the Yuan family's seat in the family have been restored."

"I am called the head of the Yuan family, but I am the only one in the Yuan family. So I feel like that turtle."

Yuan Zhisheng sipped the sake in his glass and slowly told his story.

"You just said you have a younger brother."

"He's probably...dead."

"Sigh, I never imagined that it was not easy for everyone when they were young." Lu Mingfei drank the sake in a gulp and was filled with emotion, "My parents went abroad when I was in junior high school, and now I am in the second year of university, and they didn't say anything about it. When I glanced at it, sometimes I wondered, did they give birth to a younger brother or sister or something, who secretly hid in a foreign country and didn’t tell me, otherwise our family would only have me as a single seedling, and they wouldn’t throw me away Don't you care about it at Uncle's house?"

"I thought we couldn't find any similarities at all, but I didn't expect to find any similarities when it comes to parents." Caesar also drank the sake in his glass, "Well, my mother passed away when I was very young. And my dad... I have thought he was dead for many years, and it seems that I can also join your parents' death group."

"Add me one." Nono raised his hand.

"Me too, me too!" Xia Mi let out a drunken burp and came to Chu Zihang's side to raise a glass.

"Junior sister, you are in a special situation, so don't come in." Fingel said, "I meet the requirements. I was once a famous German mixed-race family, the Feng family, but now I am the only one left in my generation." Xia Mi glared and slapped the table, "Why can't I come in! You look down on us... Wuwu!"

"She's drunk, sorry." Chu Zihang covered Xia Mi's mouth and apologized to everyone.

"Speaking of which, those two should be lovers." Yuan Zhisheng tilted his head slightly and asked Caesar and Lu Mingfei in a low voice.

"Who?"

"Chu Zihang and Xia Mi."

"Yes." Lu Mingfei grabbed Nono's hand, "We are also a couple."

Yuan Zhisheng turned around and stared at the sumptuous dishes on the table in silence.

"What's wrong, Brother Yuan? If you have something to tell me, I'll help you solve it!"

Perhaps because he drank too much sake, Lu Mingfei patted Yuan Zhisheng on the shoulder with a proud voice.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little surprised that someone like Chu Zihang would have a girlfriend."

"Yeah, I was surprised when I first heard about it." Caesar said, he was cutting the turkey on the dinner plate into small pieces, "but it's true."

"Senior brother may look like a facially paralyzed robot, but he is actually very popular in school, and all the girls like him." Lu Mingfei began to talk eloquently, "I remember back in our Shilan Middle School... Oh, he and I used to He is from middle school, he is one year above me. Well, in Shilan Middle School, everyone knows the name of senior brother..."

Yuan Zhisheng quietly listened to Chu Zihang's legendary experience in Shilan and asked, "What is your impression of Chu Zihang?"

"The best and most invincible senior brother in the world!"

"He's a bit too confident. He's a very annoying guy to me."

"Well, it's different from my impression." Yuan Zhisheng glanced at Chu Zihang, "The first impression he gave me was that he was the kind of person who has no warmth at all. He doesn't care about anything when discussing."

"But when he talked about his father, there was a crack in his hard shell. Although his tone was very light, the corner of his eye twitched slightly, betraying his heart."

"Brother Yuan, you are very careful about people~"

"I just like to observe. I thought he would be a very persistent person, even paranoid. If I guessed correctly, his father's death should be related to the dragon clan."

"almost."

"So he has always regarded revenge as the driving force of his life, right?"

"Previously."

"It was before?" Yuan Zhisheng was a little confused, "Then why isn't it now?"

"Well, it all depends on that girl." Lu Mingfei raised his glass and gestured to Xia Mi, who was leaning in Chu Zihang's arms, "Don't underestimate her. Senior brother was eaten to death by that girl. Isn't it incredible?"

"Maybe it's the magic of love."

"Yes, the loneliness that originally had such stubborn reasons and was so inexplicable is like you wanderers in ancient Japan, carrying a good sword at your waist, riding a majestic horse, wandering in this world, it has long been built in your heart. An iron-clad defense line has been set up, just like that wall in the Bible that is said to be indestructible? Yes, the Wall of Jericho."

"Have you seen "It Happened One Night"? It's a classic. If you haven't seen it, I recommend you to watch it. At 79:49, Peter Vaughn, played by Clark Gable, said, "I want to tear down the Tower of Jericho." Wall", because he met the one in [-] in life. "

"So at the end of the movie, Joshua's victory trumpet sounded and the Wall of Jericho fell, but it didn't matter. Nothing mattered. Although you haven't reached the end yet, you have already seen the most beautiful scenery in the world. , you find that you can’t move even with all your strength, or even look away, for whatever reason or loneliness, your persistence seems like bullshit, and you are beaten to the point of losing your armor in an instant.”

"Sounds wonderful." Yuan Zhisheng said.

"Hey, brother Yuan, do you have someone you like?" Lu Mingfei suddenly came over and asked with a smile.

"No."

"Really? I think Miss Sakura is pretty good, and she seems to have some interest in you."

"You're drunk." Yuan Zhisheng frowned.

"Okay, okay, let's change the topic. Is there anything Brother Yuan wants to do?"

"What I want to do..." Yuan Zhisheng thought for a while, "I have always wanted to go to France. There is a famous nudist beach there. I want to find a job selling sunscreen there."

"Switching from being a mafia boss to selling sunscreen? Don't you think it's too cross-industry?" Caesar refilled his cup and rejoined the conversation.

Although he couldn't appreciate the Zen meaning in "Life is like a summer flower", he could still taste the delicious food.It was raining and thundering outside. They were sitting barefoot on the cool tatami, eating Japanese food and overlooking Tokyo in the rain. They felt drunk and happy. He had drank a lot and wanted to find someone to chat.

"Managing the underworld is the job of the Patriarch of the Yuan family. As for myself," Yuan Zhisheng said, "I want to leave Tokyo and find a warm and comfortable city to live my life waiting to die."

Caesar smiled contemptuously: "My uncle Frost also often said that he wanted to live an ordinary life. He is now the acting head of the Gattuso family. When he is too busy, he will complain, 'Hell, what if there is such a thing? It would be great if my schedule is empty for a month, so that I can go back to my old house in the country to live for a while, read a good book with a good wine, and say hello to my old neighbors."

"But as long as the phone doesn't ring for a long time, he will become restless and feel that things are beyond his control."

"You mean I'm as hypocritical as your uncle?" Yuan Zhisheng remained calm.

"I don't want to ridicule you, but people are like this." Caesar took a cigar and said, "They call you Young Master. Your status is second only to the patriarch in a family that is in charge of the Japanese underworld. You are the most important person in this city. You can do whatever you want as a mover and shaker, but you will no longer be a big shot after you leave here."

"It's not a good feeling to go from being big to being normal."
