My name is Lu Mingfei, not Lu Mingfei!

Chapter 227 226. Genji Heavy Industries (4)

"Are you Japanese?" Caesar looked at Masamune Tachibana with a scrutinizing gaze.

Tachibana Masamune's nose is straight and his eyes are deep-set, and his facial lines are as clear as a knife. He is somewhat different from ordinary Japanese old people, but he also has pure East Asian black eyes, and his every move has a strong Japanese flavor.

"I have been in Japan for many years, and many people can't tell that I have ancestry from other countries. How did you tell that, Mr. Gattuso?" Masamune Tachibana showed a playful smile.

"The accent, you differentiate between palatal and velar sounds, which is a typical Russian pronunciation," Caesar said.

When many people criticize Caesar, they say he is a playboy, but none of them can deny that this playboy is excellent in all aspects. In addition to his talent, this also benefits from the elite education of the Gattuso family. Sa can speak all mainstream European languages, and he can easily distinguish the pronunciation of any country.

Among the family heads present, even Yuan Zhisheng showed a surprised expression. It was obvious that the other family heads did not know about this matter.

“When Japan surrendered in World War II, there were still 2.8 million Japanese left in China. Some of them were technicians who did not want to return to China, some were Japanese overseas Chinese who came with the army, and some He even joined the Communist Party or the Kuomintang, as well as some businessmen and ordinary civilian family members." Tachibana Masamune's eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of long-lasting fog, which was an old man's memory of the times.

"Are you one of them?" Caesar asked.

"No, I am their descendant. My mother is a family member of the Japanese Kwantung Army. When they surrendered and retreated, my father did not come to pick her up. At that time, the Chinese people in Northeast China quite ostracized the Japanese who were forced to stay. Fortunately, She had good looks, and finally committed herself to the Soviet Far East Army officer who entered Northeast China." Masamune Tachibana said, "I am half Russian. I grew up in Russia when I was a child. It was not until the 1990s that I had the opportunity to return to Japan. I think Japan is my hometown."

Tachibana Masamune's admission was quite candid, and he didn't mean to hide anything. If a person's past life was not good, it is normal for him not to mention it to the people around him. The only problem is that he is from the Soviet Union, which makes Caesar have to think of the former Soviet icebreaker. The 1990s happened to be the point where this happened.

The water boiled quickly. Tachibana Masamune picked up the iron kettle, poured the boiling water into the tea bowl, and then poured the water away. This is the procedure in the tea ceremony. The first hot water is only used to heat the tea bowl.

Unlike most tea leaves, which require hot water, Tachibana Masamune chatted with Caesar about the academy before he picked out two spoonfuls of Gyokuro with a wooden tea spoon. These tea leaves were thin and soft and only needed a water temperature of about 60 degrees. Just brew it. For people who are used to Chinese tea, it may not be easy to get used to it.

Tachibana Masamune took out the golden ancient silk gauze from his waist and placed it on the tea bowl. He gently turned it in his hand, turned the side with the bamboo bird pattern towards the trio, and bent down to serve the tea.

At this time, the first person to receive the cup of tea should be Caesar. He is the captain of the Cassel team. Of course, the leader has the obligation to be the first to stand up and face etiquette, but the person who accepted the tea became Lu Mingfei. , she picked up the golden ancient silk gauze in front of her, bent down and took the tea bowl calmly, also padded it with ancient silk gauze, turned it clockwise twice in the palm of her hand, and pointed the pattern towards Tachibana Masamune. After drinking tea, she lowered her head to admire the pattern on the tea bowl, showing admiration.

The Japanese like to use various ways to package the few gadgets they have in their hands into high-end things, such as kendo, aikido, flower arrangement, and tea ceremony. If you don't understand, they will despise and say that your level is mediocre. . As a result, the tea ceremony has a very high status in Japanese culture. Masamune Tachibana's move was like a silent attack. It tested whether the commissioners at the Kassel headquarters understood cultural etiquette.

Among the trio, only Lu Mingfei knows Japan best. She has not deliberately studied Japanese tea ceremony, but she has heard about it under the influence of various animations. When Caesar faced this cup of tea just now, he suddenly realized the profound meaning in it. He couldn't help but understand. Changing his mood, he lightly touched Lu Mingfei under the table as a sign of help. Lu Mingfei reacted instantly and went to receive the tea with the memory of the beautiful anime girls enjoying the tea ceremony. Although this may seem like indifference, the people in the Japanese branch don't know who is the real boss among the three, so it is better to deal with it this way than to be rude in terms of etiquette.

Caesar and Chu Zihang watched Lu Mingfei's every move with the corner of their eyes, silently remembering that if the other party wanted to use tea ceremony etiquette to attack, then they would have to use tea ceremony etiquette to defeat them. This is the leader of the society. To community leaders.

Orange Masamune served tea to Chu Zihang and Caesar again, with Lu Mingfei setting an example in front of them. The two of them naturally memorized the tea ceremony methods without making any mistakes.

"Making tea is one of my few specialties. I would like to express my respect to the distinguished guests. Without wasting everyone's precious time, Mr. Fuma and I will leave first. Mr. Inuyama will leave first. The affairs of the academy will be fully supported by Kasei. Ms. Sakurai and Ryoma You are responsible for the logistics coordination." Masamune Tachibana stood up and left, "I hope you will be happy in Japan and your mission will go well."

The trio sat upright, and even Chu Zihang watched the big guys go away with a faint smile. In the end, only Yuan Zhisheng, the head of the Yuan family they were most familiar with, was left on the terrace.

"How do you feel?" Yuan Zhisheng asked.

"The tea is not bad, but a little hot." Lu Mingfei said.

"No...I'm talking about your impression of the Japanese branch." Yuan Zhisheng was almost defeated by Lu Mingfei with just one sentence. To be honest, it was difficult for his brain circuit to keep up with these people from Kassel. Psychos.

"I originally thought that the eight Sheqi family members would be eight tall and tough old men, with bursts of yin energy spraying from their nostrils. When they met us, they would come up to fight without saying a word. Afterward, they twisted their necks and said with a smile. You are a good young man." Caesar turned his head and glanced at the long road where the family heads disappeared, so as not to accidentally be overheard talking behind their backs, "Actually, they are all extraordinary ordinary people."

"Extraordinary ordinary people?" Yuan Zhisheng savored this strange description.

"Yes." Caesar nodded, "They hold high positions, sitting at the top of the Japanese underworld, and control the lives and deaths of countless people and huge wealth, but they will also hide things they don't want to say, and be a little bit rude with you. A timely joke, not some unworldly spiritual master. I like this very much. Compared with those in my family, they are very unique, so unique that there is no other person like him in the world."

Caesar did not say who it was, but Lu Mingfei guessed that Caesar was talking about his father Pompeii.

"If the family heads are lucky enough to know that they are evaluated in this way among their descendants, they might be very happy." Yuan Zhisheng said.

"Shouldn't you be very angry?" Lu Mingfei tilted her head curiously, "I heard that you Japanese people have a very serious sense of seniority. Even first-year students in school cannot disobey their second-year seniors, otherwise they will be punished. The senior brothers gathered together to bully me. It is considered a big taboo for a junior to comment on a senior like this."

"In the eyes of your subordinates, the heads of the family may be respectable elders, but in my opinion, they are really just like Mr. Caesar's evaluation. They are a group of extraordinary ordinary people." Yuan Zhisheng smiled.

"That's because you are the young master. What if you are a minion? If anyone can crush you into powder, then you can only look up to me." Lu Mingfei curled her lips.

Everyone here is from a noble family, from an Italian family, a second-generation rich man from China, and a young underworld master from Japan. She, Lu Mingfei, is a little-known Cinderella. It is a great honor to be able to compete on the same stage with all the big guys today. Therefore, she often maintains her previous views when looking at things. A guy like Yuan Zhisheng, who was born with a golden key in his mouth, has been involved with the eight big guys since he was a child. He will definitely not understand that. As a person at the bottom, he looks at the people at the top. envious eyes.

"I didn't say that I didn't respect them. Every family head is my teacher." Yuan Zhisheng spread out the chart on the table and marked a circle on a certain position. "Stop chatting, let's talk about the mission. Well, it means that Norma has been given to you, and this time I will be responsible for providing you with more detailed details."

The atmosphere at the task table became serious as soon as he mentioned it. This is what a commissioner from Kassel should be like. He can work in the hall as well as in the kitchen. When he should be serious, he should maintain a correct attitude and never smile playfully.

"This is a chart of the Sea of ​​Japan. In 1992, the icebreaker Lenin sailed here and sent out a distress signal. It was 120 nautical miles away from the Japanese coastline. It was an absolutely safe offshore sea with no reefs, icebergs and turbulent whirlpools. With the Lenin this For an icebreaker of this tonnage, an accident in that place would be like Miyamoto Musashi stepping on a stone and falling to death. That was a ship designed to conquer the world's far north. It would not sink even if it took a torpedo from the front. But such a ship actually crashed in safe waters, and it remains one of the biggest unsolved cases in the files of the Japanese Coast Guard."

"I thought you, like senior brother, couldn't tell jokes. This metaphor is so essential that even foreigners can understand it." Lu Mingfei gave a thumbs up.

There are always some things in a country that can be exported culturally to the world. For example, when Chinese people go to prosperous cities in foreign countries, whether it is Tokyo, London, Paris or New York, they can always find a place called Chinatown. Miyamoto Musashi is one of the cultural symbols of the Japanese. He is known as the Sword Master and is a hero of the Warring States Period. His status is like the king of Japanese swordsmen. Foreigners who know something about the second dimension must have heard of his name. .

"It's nothing, I'm just using him as a metaphor because I'm very familiar with him." Yuan Zhisheng said calmly.

"I always feel that your next sentence is that I have learned his sword skills." Lu Mingfei always felt that there was something in Yuan Zhisheng's words.

"You're right." Yuan Zhisheng was calm and calm, leaving Lu Mingfei alone and messy in the wind. This realism is so invisible! Elephant Turtle, you are actually very depressed inside, right? You like to have pretty girls dance and cheer you and shout 666, right? No wonder Yabuki Sakura appears the most among the people around her! You also said you don’t like it, you bastard who is delaying the youth of other girls!

All old and new grudges were settled together, and Lu Mingfei made malicious complaints.

"The Japanese Coast Guard does not know why the Lenin appeared there. It did not invade Japan's territorial waters, and the Russian side did not intervene. There is no way to pursue this matter." Yuan Zhisheng continued, "The search for this sunken ship is the responsibility of the academy. It was only begun in recent years that it was suspected of carrying cargo related to dragons. However, the work was difficult because it is one of the deepest seas in the world. It was not until a few weeks ago that a breakthrough was made in the search. That is the heartbeat you know. After the Japanese branch cooperated with the headquarters to repeatedly confirm the work, the two sides reached a consensus and set the goal of this transoceanic operation."

"What the principal said was, let's blow it up," Caesar said.

"Yes, but he may not have told you clearly that the location where the Lenin sank is directly above the Japan Trench. It is integrated with the Mariana Trench, which is an undersea abyss thousands of kilometers long. Geologically speaking, As the dividing line between the Eurasian plate and the Pacific plate, submarine volcanic activity is frequent and the geology is quite unstable. The impact of the plates has formed interlaced cracks." Yuan Zhisheng said, "It is the deepest seabed in the world and the most mysterious on the earth. The area, which almost no one has reached, is called the abyss. There is very little information, and most of our understanding is based on speculation. According to the results of sonar scanning and detection, the location of the Lenin is likely to be in that abyss."

"I originally thought I was just going to dive deep... but I didn't expect that I was going to directly challenge the Guinness record of being the deepest place in the world!" Lu Mingfei was stunned. It was like she had been strapped to a giant timer. The bomb was attached, and she could only pray that her senior brother could quickly defuse it before it exploded. After working for a long time, her senior brother finally stopped. She said in surprise that it was done? Chu Zihang shook his head and said no, this is not a time bomb, it is actually a nuclear bomb, I can't handle it...

The difficulty rises a bit too fast. You can't do this to fight monsters across levels, right? Lu Mingfei was a little dizzy.

"From this we can reasonably guess that the cargo transported on the Lenin is actually a dragon embryo. We don't know where its destination is and who it belongs to. We only know that an accident caused the Lenin to end up above the trench. It sank, all evidence was silenced, and the dragon embryos on the ship sank into the depths of the trench." Yuan Zhisheng continued, "Dragon embryos are not something that can be destroyed easily, and the extremely deep sea water has become an excellent choice for it. Protective layer, in a place that is like a restricted area for life on earth, this embryo can hatch safely without any interference. If it hadn't been for an accidental scientific expedition team's sonar to monitor the heartbeat, it is likely that when it hatched, Only then will we know that a dragon is in the water next to Tokyo."

"Can you be sure what kind of dragon it is?" Chu Zihang asked.

"There is no way, but considering that the heartbeat is so strong that it can penetrate thousands of meters of sea water, I guess the blood level will not be that low."

"The King of the Ocean and Water?" After a few seconds of silence, Caesar came up with a possible guess.

Yuan Zhisheng and Chu Zihang both nodded slightly in agreement. This is also a possibility that most people can think of. Although for dragon embryos, the pressure of seawater thousands of meters deep and the abyssal environment are not a problem at all. , but the adaptability of each dragon will also be different.

Just like the King of Bronze and Fire, the palace is sunk in the water, and the place of residence is still in the air. Their adaptability to water is not that high, and they will not let themselves grow up soaked in water. If the embryonic dragon shows excellent adaptability to sea water, then even if it is not the king of the ocean and water, it is at least a descendant of the water king with a high affinity for the water element.
