Marvel: Spear Bureau Technical Advisor

I don't know if it was too embarrassing to get off the stage, or I didn't know what to say, but the old man was silent for a long time before speaking again.

"It's a demon."

"Huh?" Mariko, who had been listening silently after getting in the car, made a surprised sound.

When the old man talked about the historical grievances between the Hand Association and Yashida Ichiro before, Mariko could still be heard as a family legend; as for the things that his grandfather took away, with the greatest imagination of Mariko, he imagined it as some kind of treasure. kind.

But then the weapons and demons that Stick talked about were completely beyond her imagination; for the first time, she thought that the old man might be a madman.

But Qianqian's reaction was completely different from Mariko's; when he heard the word "devil", he asked seriously instead: "Can you explain in more detail, what kind of demon?"

For the first time, Mariko felt that mental illness might also be contagious from person to person.

I only heard the old man continue to say: "In the records of the Zhenchun Society, it is an extremely dark and evil existence. The Hand Society calls it a 'beast'; it can give people the power to resurrect from the dead, and the Hand Society It was used to create legions of undead ninjas."

Xiangqian suddenly realized that this line had already been connected with the line of origin of the holy beast race mentioned by Shou Lao.

"Is there anything else?" Qiangqian asked again.

"The 'beast' can possess a person; after being possessed by the 'beast', the hand will call the black sky, and that person will become the most... extremely powerful weapon. More than a century ago, the Hand had There was a black void in which innocence was almost destroyed."

The old man's voice was a little sad.

"The former Zhennian Society was very prosperous, and was able to contend head-on with the Hand at one time; until the black sky destroyed everything."

Xiangqian has almost confirmed the true identity of the "beast", and he continued to ask: "When you say 'almost', it means that there are still people who survived; have you found a way to deal with Hei Kong?"

"No one can kill Hei Kong." Stick old man said dumbly, "In the final decisive battle, Hei Kong lost control by himself. It not only killed our people, but also the people of the guild. The few who survived will take the opportunity Run away; it turns out that not just anyone can bear the power of the 'beast'."

"Later we learned that not long after Black Sky lost control, his body gradually collapsed and died. The Hand sealed the soul of the 'beast' and buried it in a secret place. In the past century, the Hand has never Give up on finding the right Black Sky candidate."

Hearing this, Xiangqian has connected all the causes and consequences of the guild line. The "beast" must be a member of the holy beast race, that is, the ninth member who descended to the earth in Shou Lao's mouth.

The Ninth Holy Beast was found by the Hand at some point and used it as a secret weapon; but the power of the "beast" was so powerful that it got out of control, and the Hand had no choice but to seal and bury it for later effect.

Yashida Ichiro's betrayal of Yoshioka Nobu just took away Mochizuki Hei who buried the "Beast" seal, and now the Hand will take advantage of the opportunity of Ichiro's death to regain their treasure.

"The last question, why now?" Qianqian asked, "The Hand is very eager to regain Mochizuki; is it because there is something wrong with the seal, or have they found a suitable candidate for Black Sky?"

"Both reasons... both."

Xiangqian was very curious: "Is there really a new black space?"

"Yes, a woman. I can confirm that the new black sky they chose is a woman."

"how do you know?"

"Because that woman is a student I taught." For the first time, Gunsou's expressionless face showed a serious look, "I can see the darkness in her heart; that is the best nourishment for the 'beast'. "

……

In the depths of the mountains in Shiga Prefecture, in the mountain village belonging to the Hand, Erica once again walked towards the dungeon where Matt was held, but was stopped at the door of the dungeon.

"Miss Erica, I heard from the guards that you have been coming to the dungeon every day in the past few days?" Botu asked with a smile.

Erica replied calmly: "Yes, that red devil is Jinpin's enemy, and he has helpers in Hell's Kitchen;; I want to see if I can get some information."

"It's reasonable." Botu nodded again and again, "But I'm afraid it won't work today."

"why?"

"Our operation is about to begin; we want you to be a part of it," Botu said.

"Does your deal with Jinbin also involve me in the action?"

"Nothing at first," Botu said, "but Shin Yoshioka has a problem and can't come back for the time being. We are short of manpower now; so, I hope you can help us."

Erica was silent.

Botu went on to say: "When all the operations are over, you can bring him back to the United States and hand him over to Kim Bin; I think he will be very happy to personally interrogate this enemy who dared to violate his dignity."

"Of course, he will be very happy," Erica responded.

……

The forward car arrived at the hotel where he had been staying since he came to Japan without incident; when the motorcade pulled into the hotel parking lot, Mariko was obviously hesitant.

"Xiang Sang, didn't you say to help me find a safe place?"

Xiangqian smiled and asked back: "Unless you apply for police protection now, otherwise, is there any place in Japan that is safer than my hotel room?"

Of course, it is impossible to call the police; this is an internal dispute in the Yashida family. Whether it is out of face considerations or practical interests, the father and daughter who are fighting both reject the intervention of public power.

but……

Mariko's heart was still full of doubts, looking at the forward smile, she also felt that it was full of malicious intentions.

"You... you mean to let me... live in... your room?"

"Yes!" Xiangqian answered confidently and as a matter of course.

Mariko couldn't help feeling hesitant.

"Miss Mariko, please move faster; my bodyguards will arrange it for you, and you can tell them what you want." Qianqian urged.

Mariko couldn't help but startled when she heard the words: "Aren't you going back?"

"Are you inviting me?"

"No...it's not." Mariko denied it.

"It's a great honor to receive an invitation from a beautiful woman like Miss Mariko, but I do have other important matters." Xiang Qiang pretended not to hear the other party's denial, "It seems that I have to reluctantly refuse Miss Mariko's favor. "

"Who... who favored?" Mariko blushed with anger at the playboy's shameless words, angrily opened the door and got out of the car.

Even though she has matured rapidly, some personality habits are not so easy to reverse; how can a young girl in her early twenties be thicker than a playboy?

Seeing the back of Mariko leaving and disappearing in the elevator room, Qianqian turned around and stared at Gunsou again;

"I said Mr. Gunsou, you should know the way to Wangyueping, right?"
