Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Chapter 551 Takamagahara (Two in One)

The address of Sanpaila International Hospital is not too far from the headquarters of Genji Heavy Industries, both are in Shinjuku. This is probably the request of Tachibana Masamune. The two important institutions of the Snake Eight Families are built so close to each other so that he can control everything.

With Tachibana Masamune's perverted personality, he probably just enjoyed the feeling of being the emperor of the Anbu. In order to satisfy his perverted desire for control, he even created an avatar called "Wangjiang" and personally founded the Menggui Clan to let the entire Snake Eight Clan play house games with him.

The black Toyota sedan stopped in front of the Saint Paul International Hospital. Minamoto Chikōnō walked out of the driver's seat holding an umbrella, then walked around to the back to open the door for Sakurai Kogure.

The reason for the change of status is that they have a different identity today. Today, Sakurai Kogure's identity is the wife of Gen Chinuo. His wife has not had her period for two months and has been nauseous and retching recently. Therefore, as an ordinary office worker, Gen Chinuo took a day off to accompany his wife for a pregnancy test.

Both of them were dressed up carefully, and with heavy makeup on, they seemed to look a few years older, and more like a college couple who had just graduated and started working.

Sakurai Kogure put his arm around Gen Chino with a smile on his face, and walked together under the transparent umbrella, as if he had completely accepted the role of wife.

Yuan Zhinv pushed up her black-framed glasses and whispered, "Do you remember the way to the basement of the hospital?"

"Of course I remember." Sakurai Kogure took a breath lightly.

That place was like hell to her, and she had been sent there since she was 10. Everyone was locked in a very small and cramped room, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating in it, and every day nurses in white coats and masks made them fill out endless questionnaires and forms.

Questions like how many meals did you eat today, how many times did you go to the toilet, and whether you masturbated yesterday are all extremely boring.

But it's not so bad, it's just like going to jail, she has been living like this since she was a child.

If she had not been woken up by the noise outside the room one night and saw through the small grid on the door that a half-human, half-lizard monster in the opposite room had broken through the door, she could have stayed there forever.

Until the doctors and nurses who rushed over subdued the monster and called out its name, she had no way of connecting the lizard with the girl named Ryoma Keiko. Sakurai Kogure had chatted with the girl several times and knew that she was one year younger than herself, a girl who loved flower art and dreamed of opening her own flower shop one day.

The girl was taken away by doctors on the morning of that day, saying that they would give her a physical examination, and if she passed the examination, she would be able to leave. Before leaving, Keiko also told Sakurai Kogure that she was going to name the flower shop "All Day One". She hoped that after she left, she would be able to forget what happened here and live every day as if it were her first day.

From that day on, Sakurai Kogure made up his mind to escape from his family. Until one day when he was fourteen years old, another child mutated into a snake-like Deadpool after undergoing surgery, and also evolved the word spirit of "Sword Guard".

At that time, the hospital was caught in an unprecedented riot. The door of the cell that trapped them was controlled by Snake-like Deadpool's "Sword Control" and used as a weapon. Many children wanted to escape in the chaos, but in the end only she succeeded in escaping.

"Feel sorry."

Yuan Zhinv suddenly said, "It reminds you of bad things."

Hearing this, Sakurai Kogure came back to his senses from the quagmire of memories, looked at Genjitsu, shook his head and smiled.

"It's okay, no need to apologize."

Sakurai Kogure said, "The hospital doesn't have an elevator or stairs that go directly to the basement. Or maybe there are, but I don't know where they are. There is only a very narrow ventilation duct in the morgue that leads to the basement, and that's where I crawled out. But so many years have passed, I don't know if that road has been blocked."

"Let's try it first." Yuan Zhinv said softly.

The two people closed their umbrellas under the eaves of the hospital gate, placed them against the umbrella collection area in front of the door, and entered the hospital together.

……

The world is a huge siege, and everyone is trapped in it. Some people are determined to get into a certain place, while others are confused about how to get out.

While Yuan Zhinv was investigating the Saint Paul International Hospital, the abducted underworld princess had already taken Lu Mingfei around the same road several times.

This situation also happened when Lu Mingfei kidnapped Eri and ran away from home last time. It wasn't that they were lost, but because after coming out of Eri's room, there were people from the Enforcement Bureau along the way.

Eri had excellent hearing and knew that if she wanted to run away from home successfully, she had to avoid those people. But the problem was that they were now in the headquarters building of Genji Heavy Industries, where were there no people from the Executive Bureau?

What's more, they had just caused such a big noise, and now everyone in the entire building was probably searching for them. It would be extremely difficult to kidnap the gangster princess under such circumstances.

"By the way, can't you use 'Nether Light' to take us away?"

Lu Mingfei asked Jiude Mai in Chinese: "If we turn on the Dark Illumination, the people from the Sheqi Eight Clans won't be able to see us, right?"

Jiude Mai rolled her eyes. "The effect of 'Netherlight' is to change the angle of refraction of light in the field, making everything in the field look dark. It's not Harry Potter's invisibility cloak. Turning on the Darklight in broad daylight is clearly telling others, 'There are people here, come and catch us', isn't it? "

"What about the helicopter?"

Lu Mingfei remembered that the last time he took Eri away from home, a helicopter crashed through the French window of the Genji Heavy Industries Building and took him and Eri away. Now that he thought about it, the helicopter must have been brought by Jude Mai and the others.

"Unfortunately, today is not only a very heavy rainstorm, but also a thunderstorm."

Jiude Mai spread her hands and said, "It's rumbling outside now. Even if there are helicopters, they can't take off now. Didn't you watch the news? Many flights at the airport have been grounded today. It would be better if the thunderstorm came earlier. If the thunderstorm had come five minutes earlier, Yuan Zhisheng probably wouldn't have been able to get back so quickly."

Lu Mingfei thought to himself, aren't you and I both in the Genji Heavy Industries building? Where did you read the news? But he was immediately attracted by the second half of Jiude Mai's words.

"What did you just say?" Lu Mingfei couldn't help but frowned and asked tentatively: "You said... many flights at the airport have been suspended today?"

"Yes." Jiude Mai nodded.

“Where did you see the news?”

"It was right after we blew up the switch room of the Genji Heavy Industries building. We rushed into the lobby on the first floor of Genji Heavy Industries on motorcycles. At that time, the TV in the lobby was playing the TBS morning news."

These words made Lu Mingfei speechless for a moment. Besides impatience, he also felt a hint of fear and uneasiness in his heart.

Lu Mingfei could only comfort himself in his heart that there was no such coincidence... Besides, Miaomiao's plane took off at nine in the morning, and there was no thunder in the sky in the morning. It was not until after ten o'clock that it turned into a thunderstorm. By then, Miaomiao's flight was probably flying to Jeju Island.

It'll be okay.

perhaps.

However, once this thought arose in Lu Mingfei's mind, it planted a seed of uneasiness in his heart.

Damn...why don’t I have my cell phone with me at this moment?

Lu Mingfei touched his empty pockets, which contained only a BB machine for sending Morse code. Before sneaking into the Genji Heavy Industries Building, he had placed the phone in Genji's room.

No one would bring a cell phone when performing such an intrusion mission. After all, if the phone is lost, the other party can find out your identity by following the people in the address book. But he happened to have to use his cell phone now.

No matter what, we have to leave here quickly.

Lu Mingfei looked down at the floor and suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, there is a way to leave the Genji Heavy Industries headquarters building." Lu Mingfei raised his head, his eyes lit up.

"What road?" Xia Mi asked, "Isn't it to drill the air conditioning ducts or something like that?"

"Absolutely."

That was the route he took when he sneaked into the Genji Heavy Industries Building with Caesar and Chu Zihang. In the well-defended Genji Heavy Industries Building, there was a secret sewer pipe that led directly to the Tokyo air-raid shelter and connected to a gigolo shop called "Takamagahara" in the Kabuki Hall.

They could leave Genji Heavy Industries from that road, and he remembered that the sewer pipe opening was not far from where they were now.

There was no time for Lu Mingfei to hesitate. After briefly telling Eri in Japanese that they had a hide-and-seek route to leave the Genji Heavy Industries Building, Eri, who had a keen sense of hearing, led the way, obediently following Lu Mingfei's instructions, and led the group to carefully avoid the search personnel of the Snake Eight Families.

Just as Lu Mingfei guessed, the people from Genji Heavy Industries probably didn't know about the existence of the sewer pipe. Only on the road outside Eri's room were there more search personnel from the Executive Bureau. After that section of the road, there were fewer search personnel.

Lu Mingfei was too lazy to waste time walking slowly for the rest of the way. There weren't many people blocking his way ahead anyway, so there was no need to be cautious.

After borrowing a gun from Jude Mai, Lu Mingfei led the way, shooting a Frigga bullet at each person he saw before they could react. With his and Jude Mai's shooting skills, it was no problem to deal with more than six targets at the same time. After spending more than ten minutes, they finally arrived at the freight elevator they had taken when they invaded the Genji Heavy Industries Building.

"To be honest, this is my first time going into a sewer." Jude Mai said, looking at the manhole cover.

"Everything has a first time, right?" Lu Mingfei said, "And it's actually not that dirty in there. This sewer is connected to the Iron Dome Temple, and there is no pipe connected to domestic sewage."

"So, Senior Brother is quite familiar with this sewer?" Xia Mi raised an eyebrow: "Let me guess where this sewer leads to... Doesn't the exit lead to some good sister's home?"

Lu Mingfei: "..."

At this time, Eri picked up the notebook and wrote: "Someone is coming."

Hearing this, they did not delay any longer because of this little matter. Lu Mingfei moved the manhole cover, let Jiude Mai and Xia Mi go down first, and caught Huili from below, while he stayed behind to cover the rear.

Lu Mingfei, who was standing on the iron ladder and had just closed the manhole cover, heard hurried footsteps right above them.

"Someone was shot! It's an intruder! Report it to the head of the family quickly..."

……

Many years later, facing the choir, Humpback Whale would surely remember the afternoon when he sat alone in the storage room of Takamagahara, leisurely drinking ice wine.

At that time, the morning in Takamagahara was just like any other day. The business of the host club mainly started in the afternoon and was busy until the early morning of the next day.

Therefore, after saying goodbye to the last batch of customers in the morning, Humpback Whale, as the store manager, had to arrange all the cleaning work, count the wine in the wine cabinet, and confirm that all the supplies needed for today's operations were ready. Then, after a busy day, Humpback Whale took the elevator alone to the storage room on the second underground floor of Takamagahara.

Few people know that Takamagahara was a Catholic church before World War II. After the Meiji Restoration, many priests came to Japan to preach. At that time, there were many Catholics. This place was once a stronghold for believers in Tokyo, with dozens of priests living here and holding services and masses regularly.

Tokyo was bombed during World War II, and the reliefs and arches were destroyed, leaving only the main structure intact. The store manager took a fancy to its location, rented it, and spent a lot of money to renovate it into a nightclub.

The stage was originally where the organ was placed, the booths were originally the choir, and the confessional and scripture reading rooms on this floor were used as storage rooms.

This is one of the rare times of the day when the humpback whale can feel relaxed and comfortable. The difficult-to-please female guest Feizhu has made him physically and mentally exhausted. Fortunately, this storage room is his own little world.

He could completely let himself go here. There was no tedious work, no annoying guests, only himself and the slightly tipsy ice wine in his hand.

The humpback whale leaned back on the sofa, squinted his eyes and took a sip of the wine in the goblet, then casually placed it on the small wooden table next to him. He looked at the gray ceiling, put his hands on his stomach, and sighed.

He was once a legend in the Kabuki hall. His photo would be hung at the entrance of Takamagahara as a sign, and every night his patrons would open champagne towers for him... But times have changed, and the gigolo nicknamed Kobayashi Takashi has now become a bald fat uncle.

The humpback whale patted his round beer belly and suddenly remembered the belly dance performance of the comedian in the variety show he watched on weekend nights. He subconsciously recalled the melody at that time and lifted up his clothes to pat his head.

Then he heard a "clang" sound coming from the abandoned cellar next to him.

A peerless beauty, who might be the only one he had ever seen in his life, crawled out of the well with the manhole cover opened. She glanced at him who was patting his belly and said coldly, "It's okay, you continue, don't worry about us."

Humpback whale: “…”

The peerless beauty climbed out of the cellar and reached out to pull out another peerless beauty loli who was even more beautiful than the popular child star Xia Fan.

The peerless beauty also glanced at him calmly: "You have quite a unique taste, uncle."

Humpback whale: “…………”

Then the two men pulled out a peerlessly beautiful girl from the well. This time the girl didn't say anything, but from her confused eyes, the humpback whale felt a blow of another level.

Finally, a handsome young man climbed out of the well... The fleeting sense of brokenness in the boy's eyes, like cherry blossoms, made the humpback whale feel that he had been defeated in an instant.

He is a man born for the career of a gigolo. Even at the peak of his looks, he is probably no match for the other party. I guess the legend in the gigolo world, Fengjian Liuli, is no more graceful than him.

The words spoken by the young man made him think for the first time in his life about retiring and saying goodbye to the gigolo career that he regarded as his life.

Lu Mingfei climbed out of the cellar and scratched his head as he looked at the man who was patting his belly with interest: "Humpback whale? So you have a hobby of belly dancing?"

...Call the police! I want to call the police!

The humpback whale cried out in his heart.

This beautiful boy actually recognized his identity! If other people in the Kabuki Hall knew that the legendary gigolo, Humpback Whale, the manager of Takamagahara, actually had a hobby of hiding in the storage room of his own gigolo shop and filming belly dancing, he would probably have no face to hang around in this street anymore.

"wrong!"

Humpback Whale suddenly realized that his focus seemed to be wrong. He immediately jumped up from the sofa, stepped back a few steps, and raised the bottle upside down to defend himself: "Who are you? Why are you hiding in the storage room of my store?"

Jude Mai did not answer Humpback Whale's question, but turned her head to look at Eri.

"Eri, write him a check," said Jude Mai.

Eri trusted Lu Mingfei, so naturally she trusted this beautiful older sister who had a good relationship with Lu Mingfei. She opened the small box, took out a checkbook, and wrote a string of numbers on the checkbook with a pen and handed it to Humpback Whale.

Humpback Whale took the check with a vigilant look on his face. The one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and eight zeros on the check seemed to hit him on the bridge of his nose like a heavy punch, making him dizzy. One hundred million yen! This is almost the annual turnover of Takamagahara!
What shocked Humpback Whale even more was the endorsement on the check. A check from the Snake Eight Clan! Who was this red-haired girl?

"It was all a misunderstanding."

Humpback Whale immediately put the bottle away and forced a respectful and flattering smile on his face: "Our store has always adhered to the store rule that everyone who comes is a guest and the guest is God. Guests can treat Takama-hara as their own home. Since it is a home, it is normal for guests to appear here. Do you gods have any other instructions?"

"No more, leave now." Jiude Mai waved her hand calmly, "We will leave soon, forget that we have been here. Don't tell anyone who asks."

"Okay, okay." The humpback backed out of the storage room and closed the door in front of him.

Lu Mingfei looked around, seeing everything that was both strange and familiar, and he felt an odd sense of emotion in his heart, like a wanderer returning home.

After all, it was the place that had sheltered him for several months. Although he would never be a gigolo again in his life, the sight brought back memories of the time when he and Caesar Chu Zihang were selling... bah, bowing to life together.

But now is not the time for him to reminisce about the past. He has to hurry back to Yuan Zhinu's room, get back his cell phone, and then contact Miaomiao, Wenwen and the others.

Their flight landed in Shanghai, and it should only take about three hours from Narita Airport to Shanghai Dongpu Airport. If their flight departed on time at 9 o'clock, they should have returned to China by this time.

According to his still clear memory, Lu Mingfei led Xia Mi and the others out of the storage room. There were not many customers in the gigolo club now, only some cleaning staff.

They looked at Lu Mingfei's face and subconsciously thought of him as a new gigolo who had taken off his makeup. They all nodded and greeted him. Jude Mai, Xia Mi and Eri behind them were regarded as Lu Mingfei's patrons.

The reason why the patron would follow the cowherd out of the inn is naturally self-evident.

Although the looks of these patrons made them linger for a few more times, and some envy arose in their hearts. But after all, this line of work requires talent. Other people's models are born to be gigolos, and they can't come even if they envy them.

Lu Mingfei's mind was completely on Liu Miaomiao and the others at this moment. He did not notice at all that behind him, Jiude Mai and Xia Mi were looking at him with increasingly complicated looks.

Xia Mi was thinking that, originally, her worst-case scenario was that the sewer exit led to a pretty girl's home, but she didn't expect it to lead to a gigolo parlor...

What Jiude Mai was thinking was, this guy's food is a bit too diverse...

Eri was a little confused: Why did the two sisters look at Sakura with such fear? Sakura is obviously a very nice person.
