Li Wei took off his helmet, hung it on the rearview mirror, stretched, and his joints cracked all over.
Li Wei said, "After running for days, we've finally stopped."
Both Guang and Xiang showed signs of fatigue. Although riding a motorcycle allows them to breathe fresh air and avoid motion sickness, long journeys in this mode of transportation can still cause backaches and pains.
Hibiki cracked his neck and said, "Now that they've stopped, it's our turn to act. We need to persuade them as soon as possible. The longer we delay, the more dangerous it will be for them. It's not just us looking for people; the Snake Organization has also started its operation."
Guang said, "The Snake Organization is really reckless. This isn't the first time they've started a fight in the streets. I'm getting more and more disgusted with these lunatics."
The three of them rested for a while before heading to find Yan, who had already gotten off the train. Because of the information provided by Matsu, all three of them were well aware that Yan and Karasu had disguised themselves.
Chapter 4. A Coincidence
Just as Flame and Crow Feather were about to leave to find the destined person Flame had mentioned, several flickering lights suddenly appeared not far away. Upon seeing this, Flame and Crow Feather became alert, and Crow Feather drew his long sword and stood in front of Flame to protect him.
Raven Feather's longsword was placed in a long, narrow bag. The bag had a special mechanism; with a gentle pull, she could draw the sword. Naturally, she had to carry her weapon with her when carrying out her mission.
This wasn't the first time Ravenfeather had dealt with the Snake Organization. MBI was currently reverse engineering their incredibly sophisticated optical camouflage technology, but the process wasn't going smoothly. The technology was terrifyingly advanced, practically on par with Wagtail Technology—alien technology.
However, this technology is not perfect; it has two major problems, but these problems also allow for countermeasures. Based on data extracted from the wreckage and further experimental data, MBI found that this optical camouflage consumes a significant amount of energy when activated and cannot be used for high-speed movement. High-speed movement would cause light and shadow distortion, thus revealing its presence. The first problem is that the invisibility of this optical camouflage is greatly reduced in complex environments. For example, snow, rain, and sandstorms will all make the camouflage vulnerable. It can be said that this is a somewhat delicate technology, only achieving its best effect in relatively stable and mild environments.
After understanding the flaws in this technology, Raven Feather was no longer worried about being caught off guard by a sudden attack, unless the opponent got very close. However, with the Wagtail's perception ability, it would detect the opponent if they got within ten meters, so it would be quite difficult for the opponent to use a sneak attack.
Ya Yu said, "What a coincidence that everyone's here today, it's unbelievable."
Crow Feather was also a bit of a headache. She had dealt with many of the Snake Organization's combat personnel before, and their strength was not as great as she had imagined. They just relied on their numerical advantage to launch coordinated attacks. But now, she had run into them as soon as she got off the bus. Her luck was really terrible.
Yan said, "Although we don't know if we deliberately walked into their encirclement or if it was just a coincidence, in this situation, we have no way to escape without fighting."
When Yan got out of the car, he observed the surrounding environment. This was a residential area with a very high population density. If a fight were to break out in such a place, damage to various buildings and public facilities would be unavoidable. Fortunately, it wasn't the heart of the CBD area, where there are a lot of people during the day, and if a fight broke out, it could easily cause casualties.
Without hesitation, Yan waved his hand, unleashing a deluge of flames that swept towards the distorted light and shadow. The flames, like a tidal wave, instantly engulfed the approaching enemy.
The blades flashed, slicing through the surging flames. Several cyborgs escaped the flames somewhat disheveled, their armor showing signs of charring.
Yan wasn't surprised. The temperature of the flames she was using was only a little over two thousand degrees. Although they could melt steel, the opponent's defenses were definitely not ordinary metals, so it was normal that the flames couldn't melt them.
Raven Feather did not rashly pursue, but remained guarding Flame's side. In terms of output ability alone, Flame alone was enough. Her job was to protect Flame's safety. Flame's close combat ability was not strong, and it would be very dangerous if she were to be attacked from the front.
The cleaved flames reassembled in mid-air, transforming into a giant fire dragon suspended in the air. Its shape was that of a classic mythical dragon, and the ionic state of the flames perfectly mimicked the characteristics of the dragon. Except for the inability to roar, it was just like a real dragon.
Raven Feather whispered, "We need to prepare to retreat. I don't know how many people are lying in ambush here. Your safety is the most important thing. Don't linger in the fight."
Yan said in a low voice, "I know about this, but I need to find a way to shake off this group first. The other side seems to have good resistance to high temperatures. Taking them down won't be easy."
Flame was also getting anxious. Those tin cans had been completely mechanized, practically inhuman. Naturally, they also possessed communication capabilities, and their communication equipment was located inside their bodies, protected by armor and difficult to destroy. If she couldn't end the battle quickly, and reinforcements arrived, escape would be difficult.
·Requesting flowers·· ····,"?;:『.'.;;.?:』,;,';::,!.,:『."?:,;.』':".;!":?.:!??;"!'?;!:Backup;:!For use?;:'!.,!"···
The cyborgs of the Snake Organization vary greatly in strength, with most not being particularly powerful. In direct combat, they pose little threat to the Sekirei. However, their sheer numbers are a problem. While the elite individuals are few, the regular individuals are numerous, numbering around ten at a time. They seem inexhaustible; for every loss, more are quickly replenished. This tendency to multiply with each battle is the most troublesome aspect.
Yayu said, "Then go all out! The temperature just now was only a little over two thousand degrees. Don't worry about the damage around you. That's something for Mihiro to worry about. What you need to do is ensure your own safety. As for casualties, do you think you can avoid fighting in a place like this?!"
.. ..
Crow Feather noticed Flame's hesitation. Flame's flames could be described as weapons of mass destruction. When pushed to their limit, they were comparable to tactical nuclear weapons, with temperatures approaching a thousand degrees and properties even more unstable than white phosphorus. If out of control, they could burn down most of Shinagawa Ward and Wanyo.
Yan gritted her teeth and decided to finish the battle quickly. If she could finish it quickly, she could still maintain control of the flames and minimize the losses as much as possible.
Behind this, a massive bolt of lightning struck, carrying an exaggerated physical impact. The moment it hit the ground, it reverted the cyborg to its original state.
Flame and Raven looked up and saw three figures standing on the roof of the mobile multi-story building. They were a man and a woman who attracted a lot of attention.
Upon seeing the newcomers, both Flame and Crow breathed a sigh of relief. The two women who came to their aid were none other than the renowned Raiden sisters, the powerful Hikari and Hibiki.
Upon seeing reinforcements arrive, the cyborgs of the Snake Organization did not hesitate and decisively chose to retreat. After activating optical camouflage, they quickly disappeared into Flame's blind spot.
Yan could sense that the unseen enemies were getting further and further away, and she could no longer catch up with them.
Li Wei jumped off the roof with the two sisters, landing lightly. Yan showed surprise at this, but Ya Yu, having already dealt with Li Wei before and knowing his true strength, wasn't particularly surprised.
Chapter 4. Find a place to talk.
Li Wei approached Ya Yu and Yan, her gaze falling on Yan. She had only heard about them through surveillance before, but now that she saw them in person, Yan was even more heroic than she had expected. However, unlike the short, silver-white hair in the original work, Yan now had long, smooth hair, which softened her overly heroic aura. The combination of the two qualities gave her a unique feel.
Ya Yu said, "So it was you. You came here because you've got your eye on Yan, haven't you?"
Li Wei said, "That's right, that's why I came here."
Li Wei remained remarkably calm in the face of Ya Yu's teasing. He wasn't one to be easily embarrassed, and his purpose in coming here was for Yan, so it wasn't something he needed to avoid.
The moment Yan saw Li Wei, her heart pounded like a drum, and she was completely stunned. She never expected that the person she sensed was her soulmate would appear before her in this way, and that he was so charming. The moment she saw Li Wei, she had a feeling that this was the person she had been looking for.
As for Li Wei already having the Hikari and Hibiki sisters by her side, this was not a problem at all in her eyes. With the powerful Ashimei and the numerous Sekirei around her, she would not have a shortage of them.
Raven Feather said, "It's quite an honor that the Northern Demon King has personally come out. But speaking of which, Li Weijun, you already have quite a few wagtails around you. If you keep playing like this, the other reed shoots will have no chance of survival."
Li Wei laughed and said, "I'm just looking for a wagtail that's destined for me. If this bothers anyone else, I'll apologize, but it's impossible for me to give up. Miss Raven Feather, your thinking is a prejudice against me."
Li Wei looked at Yan. Yan's face was very soft, a classic oval face, slightly fleshy but still beautiful. The reason she looked heroic was because of her bright eyes and slightly upturned eyebrows. She was tall and slender, with a bit of a Victoria's Secret model feel. Although tall and thin, she was still quite curvy, not the skinny type of Paris Fashion Week models.
Li Wei, for one, didn't understand the beauty in those skinny girls. With their world-weary expressions and emaciated figures, a little makeup would have been enough for them to star in "The Nun." Even the faceless nurse in "The Mute Village" had a great figure; it just shows that old Europeans have a particular taste. For her, however, even the thinnest person needed some meat on their bones—that was the bare minimum for health.
Ya Yu said, "The rest is up to you. I'll only be responsible for security. You can discuss the specifics. If you can reach an agreement, you can take the person away. If you can't, we'll have to leave."
Li Wei nodded. He knew that Wagtail and Reed Sprout had chosen each other, and he already knew Flame quite well. So, he felt neither embarrassed nor nervous in this situation that resembled a blind date.
Li Wei said to Yan, "Shall we find a quiet place to talk?"
Flame nodded and looked at the two sisters, Hikari and Hibiki, behind Li Wei. She didn't expect to run into acquaintances here. The top ten Sekirei had spent some time with Li Wei on God's Throne Island because they had awakened earlier. They didn't know each other inside and out, but they had a considerable understanding of each other.
Flame was somewhat surprised, because Hikari and Hibiki had very high standards, some of which could even be described as demanding. Yet this man in front of her was able to satisfy those two picky and troublesome people, which was quite incredible.
Hibiki said, "I saw a coffee shop nearby earlier, let's go there."
"Thanks, I didn't even notice that just now," Li Wei said with a smile.
Watching this scene, Karasu narrowed her eyes slightly. Her mind was already with Yui; what was happening before her was just work. Although Yui always emphasized that Sekirei finding her own Ashina was fate, a miracle, Karasu still couldn't understand what Yui meant. However, seeing Homura in such an embarrassed state was quite amusing. No one can resist watching entertainment, provided they don't become someone else's entertainment.
Shinagawa Ward is a bustling, affluent area, and some tasteful little shops are tucked away in its alleys. Finding these shops without someone familiar with the area is no easy task. Moreover, these shops have a lot of quirks and rules, because they emphasize so-called "style" and therefore have all sorts of strange and unusual regulations. However, Li Wei is used to this; after all, the Japanese always pay attention to these little details.
The pedestrian arrived at the coffee shop that Xiang had mentioned, a very old-fashioned coffee shop located deep in the alley.
Entering the café feels like stepping back in time to early 10th-century Europe. The café is brightly lit, but the warm tones create a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. Various English newspapers adorn the walls, and decorative coffee utensils hang in the few exposed areas.
At the bar, an older man dressed as a butler was wiping the grinder, with freshly ground coffee beans next to him. Li Wei, with his keen sense of smell, had smelled the rich aroma as soon as he entered. It seemed that this place was for real, and not just using instant coffee to pretend to be hand-ground coffee to fool people.
"Good afternoon, guests." The middle-aged man, dressed like a butler, had a reserved yet elegant smile on his face. His beard was neatly groomed with the ends slightly upturned, giving him a retro feel and making him appear professional and dedicated.
Li Wei and Yan found a booth and sat down, while Guang and Xiang, along with Ya Yu, found another booth and sat down, one booth away from each other.
The owner greeted him warmly, and Li Wei flipped through the menu, choosing the flavor he wanted. He didn't know much about coffee; before gaining his superhuman powers, his most common energy drink was tea. Coffee, because of its high calorie content and significant side effects, wasn't his go-to energy drink.
Li Wei didn't dislike coffee's bittersweet flavor, which lingered with a rich aroma. Of course, he still added sugar, a personal habit. However, this habit turned coffee into a calorie bomb, even more extreme than the pleasures of a couch potato. To keep his brain alert for longer periods, he dared not let himself gain weight, so he opted for tea, which had a milder flavor.
Flame pointed to the text on the menu and said, "A cup of vanilla espresso."
Li Wei also raised his hand and said, "Me too."
The boss raised an eyebrow, surprised by Li Wei's choice. However, the customer's choice was an order, and he only needed to make the coffee the customer had chosen and serve it.
Meanwhile, the two sisters and Raven Feather had also chosen their coffees. They also ordered some afternoon tea snacks, since they all had credit cards from MBI and didn't need to worry about spending. These credit cards couldn't be used to withdraw large sums of money, but they allowed unlimited spending, which was a perk for every Wagyu.
Chapter 4. Past Events
A short while later, the owner brought the coffee over.
Yan was staring intently at Li Wei, and Li Wei did not look away, meeting her gaze sincerely. Their eyes met, and although no words were spoken, they exchanged some information.
Li Wei's appearance made Yan somewhat dazed. She had never seen such a handsome man before. Although she had spent a long time in the research institute, she was not the type to lack knowledge. Through the widespread use of the internet in modern times, she had seen a whole new world and all kinds of people. But she could not find a man like Li Wei, who had such an irresistible attraction for her.
Moreover, everyone online uses filters, beautifying themselves through photo editing or software optimization. Only by seeing the real person can one determine whether they are human or not. However, Li Wei's handsomeness cannot be created by software or beautification; it is a higher level of masculine beauty, a powerful aesthetic.
When facing Li Wei, Yan tried her best not to look at his lips, but when she looked away and saw Li Wei's eyes, she felt that there were two huge whirlpools in those bright and cheerful eyes, and her soul was about to be dragged into them.
Li Wei said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Li Wei, and I am from Chongguo. I have some understanding of Miss Yan, but it is not comprehensive. Previously, I thought that there was a connection between us, so I came to find you."
Flame asked in surprise, "You know me?"
Li Wei nodded and said, "The wagtail and the reed shoot chose each other. I have my own intelligence channels and can find information about you. So when you were released by the MBI, I was already planning to come find you."
Flame thought for a moment and said, "Ravenfeather calls you the Demon King of the North. Are you the one with so many Sekirei around you? How do you manage the relationships between so many Sekirei?"
Li Wei laughed and said, "I didn't mediate at all. They are all sensible and good girls. So far, I haven't seen them argue at all."
Homura was surprised. After all, Sekirei are sentient beings with flesh and blood, and they too have possessive desires. Therefore, any Ash Bud who owns multiple Sekirei would face the problem of their harem being in turmoil. However, Levi, who currently ranks first in Ash Bud in terms of the number of Sekirei he owns, has never been troubled by such a problem. If Levi is not lying, it means that his Sekirei are very united.
That makes sense. Even the proud Hikari and Hibiki have toned down their arrogance and are even obediently following Li Wei to search for someone. This is simply unbelievable to someone who knows Hikari and Hibiki well. Previously, Hikari and Hibiki were incredibly arrogant. Not only were they powerful, but they were also exceptionally capable in other areas. This overall strength made their personalities even more assertive than other Sekirei. The fact that they could make those two bow their heads is itself awe-inspiring.
Yan said, "To be honest, I'm very attracted to you, but you already have enough girls around you. I'm not the kind of person who likes crowds."
Li Wei laughed and said, "Guang and Xiang initially thought the same thing, but after experiencing the joy of teamwork, they never mentioned it again. When an individual faces a problem, they will bear the full pressure, but when an individual faces a problem, the pressure will be distributed among everyone. The more people share the pressure, the less pressure an individual will face."
Li Wei snapped his fingers and continued, "Alright, I've set up a soundproof barrier around us, so no one outside will hear what we're saying. The main thing is, there are some things that aren't suitable for Ya Yu to hear. After all, she's a member of the Punishment Squad and takes orders from Yu Guangren. I haven't figured out her stance yet, so there are some things I have to keep from her."
Yan suddenly felt a little uneasy as the surroundings quieted down and the jazz music in the coffee shop stopped playing.
Flame said, "Why can't we let her hear? Although Raven Feather is a pervert, she's usually quite reliable."
Li Wei said, "Because I'm worried she'll leak what I said to Mihiro. I already understand what Mihiro's conspiracy is all about, but Mihiro doesn't know that I know his true purpose. So the current situation is that I have the intelligence advantage. As long as Mihiro thinks I don't know what he's going to do, he won't easily change his original plan, which is more advantageous for me."
Homura looked puzzled. Although she had always felt that Hiroto was up to something, she lacked evidence and was limited by information, so she only guessed that there was something wrong with the Sekirei game. Now that Li Wei had directly stated that there was something wrong with the Sekirei game, she began to doubt her previous assumptions.
Yan said, "No matter what, you need evidence. Li Weijun, you said there's something wrong with this wagtail game, what's your proof?"
Although Yan disliked Yu Guangren, she disliked people who hurt others behind their backs and spread rumors even more, so she felt uncomfortable when she heard Li Wei say that.
Li Wei pulled out a packet of ingredients from his pocket, placed it on the table, and said, "Yan, you are No., which means you are one of the top-ranking older sisters in the entire sequence. I think you should know No. Song, right?"
