As a Ninja, I Just Want to Eat Soft Rice in Xingyue Chapter 134
"Ms. Aozaki, it's not a good habit to sleep during working hours, the boss will be angry."
Higashino walked around the messy living room, reached out to the desk and tapped, and simply glanced at the person in front of him.
Compared with when she met three years ago, Aoqi Orange was obviously more mature and more lazy. The button of the white shirt on her chest was unbuttoned, revealing a delicate collarbone.
The office environment of Aoqi Orange is very messy, cigarette butts and empty beer cans are everywhere, expired newspapers are thrown on the ground randomly, and all kinds of things that can be called works of art are almost filled all the cabinets. It can be seen that Aoqi Cheng Zi lives alone, and no one has taken care of her for a long time.
"You are... Dong Yezao!"
Seeing the familiar mask, Cang Qi Chengzi's eyes lit up immediately, and his whole body became energetic.
"I haven't seen the orange for many days."
Higashino took off the mask and smiled slightly.
"Three years have passed, and I finally waited for you. Do you know how badly I was chased by the Magic Association?" Canozaki Chengzi clapped his hands on the table, looking at Higashino Kou with resentful eyes.
"It's three years for you, but it's only a few days for me. I came to look for you as soon as I came back." Dong Yezuo spread his hands helplessly.
Aoqi Chengzi took off her glasses, put her face in front of Higashino Kou, and pinched her chin with one hand to carefully look at Higashino Kou's face.
"Three years have passed, and there is really no change at all. How did you travel from the future to the past?" Aoqi Chengzi was full of doubts.
"This is my secret." Dong Yezao smiled mysteriously.
"Hmph, boring man."
Aoqi Chengzi retracted her face unhappily, stretched her body lazily, and inadvertently glanced at Fujino behind Higashino Koko and asked:
"Isn't this girl the one who participated in the Holy Grail War with you back then? Is she your new girlfriend?"
"She is my disciple, and I love my fiancée very much." Dong Yezao was full of black lines.
"I heard that you came to Liangyi's house to look for me some time ago, it seems that you plan to be my magic consultant?" Dong Yezao went straight to the point.
"Yes, it's more profitable to follow you than to stay here for a day and do some small business that doesn't make much money. By the way, my employment fee is very expensive." Cang Qi Chengzi mischievously blinked his right eye .
"I'm not short of money."
Higashino finished speaking calmly, and added: "As for the treatment, how about giving you two original runes a year, plus five million dollars?"
"make a deal!"
Cang Qi Chengzi clapped her hands excitedly, with a bright smile on her face, she must have been the one who talked about Qian Qian.
"Come to work at Liangyi's house at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, and prepare a pair of magic eyes to kill my disciple." Dongye Zuo seemed to have remembered something, and added: "By the way, teach me your puppet skills, Tuition is extra."
"You are so strong, why learn to make dolls?" Aoqi Chengzi asked curiously.
"I have a forbidden technique that requires living sacrifices. I don't want to sacrifice innocent people, so I need dolls." Dong Yezao explained vaguely.
"Living sacrifice? Can't artificial humans do it?"
"I'm talking about innocent people, including artificial humans."
Higashino rolled his eyes, and complained in his heart: Sure enough, magicians are all fools.
"Okay, anyway, it's not something worth keeping secret, it's best if you can exchange it for a sum of money." Aoqi Chengzi agreed with a smile.
"It's nothing, remember to bring the magic eye killer used by Fujino tomorrow, I'll go first."
Higashino turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait!"
Aoqi Chengzi patted the table, looked at Higashino Kou with a serious expression, "Higashino Kou, do you know your current situation?"
"The situation? What situation?" Dong Yezuo turned around in a daze.
"Don't you want to know what happened to you in the magic world during the three years you were away?" Aozaki Chengzi lowered his glasses.
Higashino's face quickly darkened, and he already felt something was wrong from Aoqi Chengzi's tone.
Higashino took a stool from the side and sat opposite Aoqi Chengzi, turned his head and motioned Fujino to find a place to sit down, and asked:
"Please explain in detail."
Cang Qi Chengzi took out a thin cigarette from the cigarette case, took out the lighter and lit the cigarette, took a long puff and then slowly exhaled the cloud.
Behind Canozaki Orange is a window with curtains drawn, and the strong afternoon sun shines through the window screen, reflecting the hazy light on Canozaki Orange.
Against the backdrop of the hazy light and smoke, Aoqi Chengzi's whole person became illusory, like a person behind the mist, and compared with the appearance just now, he was a completely different person.
Has the personality switched... Higashino Kou noticed a slight change in the temperament of Aozaki Chengzi, and it became a little colder.
"I don't know the details. You know my situation. Since I was designated by the seal, I have been on the edge of the magic world for a long time. I can only hear rumors from some friends."
"The matter has to start after the last Holy Grail War. Because the ceremony in Fuyuki City almost caused the destruction of a city, and the monarch of the El-Melloi family was disabled, he fled back from the Far East in embarrassment. The clock tower The higher-ups felt that it was necessary to re-evaluate the ceremonial level of the Holy Grail War, and sent Nova Hinori from the Legal Affairs Section to investigate."
"I don't know exactly how the law and politics department investigated. Anyway, after they came back, they raised the ritual level of the Holy Grail War to the highest level, and the entire magic world was shocked."
"The Clock Tower held a Grand Role decision on the second day after the investigation was completed. Among the twelve monarchs, the Barthemero and Animsfia families were the representatives, and more than half of the monarchs advocated that Then the Holy Grail War will be held again, but there is a dispute over the content of the wish."
"After the crown was decided, the Magic Association dispatched a large number of people to poach and transfer the Great Holy Grail in Fuyuki City, and recreated the foundation of the Holy Grail ceremony."
"I don't know what happened after that, but the important thing is that the clock tower launched an investigation on you and the girl surnamed Liangyi, the winner of the last Holy Grail War, during the past three years."
The Clock Tower is investigating me! So the reason why the old director, Maris Billy, came to visit was also related to the clock tower.
But why hasn't there been any change in time and space in the past three years? With the power of the clock tower, it shouldn't be difficult to find me and the two rituals before I became stronger, and it is even possible to directly erase the past me, but why is there no information about my contact with the clock tower in my current memory? Life is still on the original track?
Dong Yezao tapped the edge of the table with his index finger, the sound was a bit messy, and his mind was full of thoughts.
Not long after, Dong Yezao asked:
"Cheng Zi, the Clock Tower hasn't contacted me and the two ceremonies in the past three years. Why?"
"It is said that a certain monarch advocated to directly send executors to arrest you for investigation, but I heard that he was stopped by a big man. I think this is why no one from the clock tower has contacted you in the past three years."
"Of course, although the clock tower clearly prohibits investigations on you and the two ceremonies, some magicians who can't bear to be lonely will come to this city. As for those magicians, they have become my collection. "
The corner of Cang Qicheng's mouth raised an arc, and he turned his head to look at a cabinet by the wall. On that cabinet, there were many glass bottles filled with human organs.
ps: Today is still a 4000-word chapter.
Chapter 274 271. Hello Grey
Sitting in the car going back, Higashino put his hands behind his head and sighed:
"I really owe Cheng Zi a big favor."
In the past three years, it was Higashino Kano, who had not yet grown up from the Cangzaki Orange Gang, who blocked countless magicians with ulterior motives, and allowed Higashino Kano's current time and space to maintain a normal history.
Higashino Kanade was not expecting the big actions of the Magic Association, whether it was the transfer of the Great Holy Grail in Fuyuki City or the investigation of himself and the two rituals.
Because in the original time and space, the Clock Tower's investigation of the Holy Grail War was just hasty and did not pay attention to it. People who participated in the Fourth World War and survived were not imprisoned or dealt with by the Clock Tower, and they really took the Holy Grail War to heart. The only one left was the monarch Maris Billy Animsphia.
So Higashino Zou misjudged the form and did not leave any means of protection for himself in that time and space three years ago.
No, Higashino Zou actually had some expectations in his heart, but after receiving the gift of [Gen Shi], Higashino was convinced that [Gen Shi] had been secretly guarding him, so he didn't treat his past self that way. focus on.
Perhaps among the enemies who have visited in the past three years, the poor ones who have been dealt with by the [root type] again.
This soft rice is really comfortable to eat!
Higashino Kou narrowed his eyes and remained silent without saying a word. Fujino who was beside him could clearly feel that Higashino Kou was in a bad mood now.
Regarding the information given by Aoqi Chengzi, Higashino has two major questions in his mind:
1. Why did the clock tower transfer the Great Holy Grail of Fuyuki City? Where did the Great Grail go? What is the purpose of the clock tower?
2. Who is the big man who suppressed all the monarchs and forbade the clock tower to investigate himself and the two ceremonies?
Regarding the first question, Koto Higashino has no idea at all, all he can think of is that the Clock Tower may need the Great Holy Grail to fulfill a certain wish.
Regarding the second question, Higashino was also confused. The most powerful person he knew in the clock tower was the disabled Kenneth.
If things developed as Kenneth planned, Kenneth should now be just a monarch of the modern magic department, the one with the least power among the twelve monarchs. It is absolutely impossible for him to protect himself and the two rituals under the pressure of other monarchs.
Who is this big man who protects himself? Those who can suppress the twelve monarchs are either those who are at the top of the monarchs, or those who are more powerful than the monarchs, but Dong Yezao does not remember that he has come into contact with such a person at all, and has a good friendship with "him".
"If only I had future vision."
Higashino couldn't help but patted his forehead, his face was extremely depressed.
Dong Yezuo envied Mei Lin, Jin Shining, and Solomon's clairvoyance. With their eyes, he could know the answer to any question at a glance, so there was no need to worry as much as now.
After complaining for a while, Higashino felt relieved a lot, and once again devoted his thoughts to solving the problem.
"...Information is very important to ninjas. Maybe you can find an acquaintance in the Clock Tower to ask about the situation. It's time to write a letter to Kenneth. As the monarch who participated in the crown decision, Kenneth must know more than Orange. There should be more characters." After thinking for a while, Higashino came up with a preliminary solution.
When Kenneth left, he didn't leave any contact information, and only said that if Higashino got into trouble, he could go to the clock tower to find him.
Higashino Zou didn't want to go to the gathering place of the lunatics at such a time. After all, many lunatics were planning on him, so he wrote to Kenneth based on the address of the clock tower in the "Elmero II Incident Book" in the trial world. It is safer to ask by letter.
When Dong Yezao was contemplating the content of the letter, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
Higashino took out his mobile phone and looked, the caller showed Qiulong's name.
"Moses, Qiulong, what do you want from me?"
"Master Zou, we have found the person you are looking for."
Dong Yezuo's eyes lit up, and he sat up excitedly, "This is really good news. Where is he?"
"address is……"
Higashino wrote down the address and looked at the sky outside the window.
The sun was high in the western sky, shining brightly, and it was a long time before dinner.
"Where are you waiting for me, I will be there soon."
"yes!"
Dong Yezuo hung up the phone, and then said to the driver: "Don't go home yet, turn around and go to the old city."
...
An hour later, the black limousine stopped at the entrance of an old Chinese restaurant in the old city far away from the city.
Higashino got out of the car and frowned slightly when he saw the dilapidated and messy environment around him.
If the Liangyi House where Higashino lived is the most dazzling side of Guanbuzi City, then this place is the darkest and dirty side of Guanbuzi City.
Not to mention the dirty and messy environment, many buildings here were repaired after World War II, and they have been considered dangerous since they have been used. Moreover, this is the worst place in Guanbuzi City, where theft, fights, drug sales, and drug transactions occur almost every day. occur.
With Gray's silly and sweet character, can he survive in this extreme environment? Maybe it has been sold and helped to count the money.
"You wait for me in the car, and I'll be back when I finish my work."
The clothes Fujino is wearing today are nice and clean, they should be newly bought, Higashino Kanade doesn't want her clothes to get dirty in this environment.
"Okay." Seeing Dong Yezao's serious expression, Fujino nodded obediently and stayed in the car quietly.
Higashino put on a cat face mask and came to the door of the Chinese restaurant. At this time, Qiu Long brought a group of big guys in black suits to surround the restaurant door. The fierce appearance of the big guys scared away many passers-by, just like the underworld came to protect them. The fee is the same.
No, Qiulong and the others were originally gangsters, but recently due to the development of the Liangyi family's industry, they have begun to clean up one after another... Dong Yezao made a silent complaint.
"Northeast restaurant."
Dong Yezao glanced at the name of the restaurant in his eyes, thinking that the name of the restaurant is really simple and rude.
"Master Zou, the person you are looking for is inside."
Seeing Dong Yezuo approaching, Qiulong hurriedly called his subordinates to line up neatly in two rows, bent down and bowed together as if they were welcoming some important person, and made way for a path in the middle.
Nima, it's more like a gangster... The corners of Dong Yezuo's mouth twitched, he turned around and told Qiu Long:
"There is no need for such a big formation, let the subordinates stand up, what to do."
"yes!"
Qiu Long stroked his chest and bent down, and shouted to one of his subordinates: "Little ones, have you heard what the young master said? Let me spread them out, the young master doesn't want to make too much publicity."
"Yes"×N
The subordinates chanted loudly, Higashino rubbed his forehead with a headache.
The road to whitewashing the underworld is still very long. When I go back, I have to tell the Patriarch to tell the subordinates to read more books... Dongye Zuo sighed inwardly.
Walking into the restaurant, Higashino found that the Chinese restaurant was smaller than expected, and there were only six tables in it, with four benches for each table, and the kitchen and the dining room were only separated by a wall.
In the dining room, an ordinary middle-aged couple was standing tremblingly in front of the kitchen wall, looking at Dong Yezao with strong fear in his eyes, and Gray, who had been missed by Dongye Zuo, was holding the Yade Transformation Reaper's Scythe, her young body was in front of the middle-aged couple.
