Tokyo Paranormal, the beginning reminds me of the game plot

As he spoke, the old man in the military cap took a deep puff of his pipe, his expression gradually becoming serious:

"Name your price. We, White Eagle, really need this inheritance."

Marshal Max is not a politician, and he is too lazy to engage in hypocritical mutual testing.

Just as he said to Nura and Ma during the day, he would not let Taichi Yagami suffer any loss.

The premise is that the young man in front of him does not push his luck too far.

Do—do—do—

Yagami Taichi tapped the table with his index finger.

The inheritance from Sky Island is very precious. It is a refined summary made from the perspective of a god, overlooking the entire extraordinary cultivation system.

It is impossible to sell it at a low price.

In fact, Taichi Yagami had already thought of the price.

He did not speak immediately, but used causal reasoning to try to figure out what Marshal Max could accept.

About a minute later, the black-haired boy sitting at the conference table suddenly raised his right hand.

Accompanied by a snake's cry, countless crimson liquids gushed out from Ye Shen Taiyi's palm.

In the blink of an eye, it condensed into a dark red square ancient cup.

Inside the glass, transparent liquor appeared out of thin air, swaying and shining under the light.

"what is this?"

Gastlia Gray swallowed subconsciously as the wine glass was held by Yagami Taichi.

She had experienced countless painful transformations, and at this moment, she couldn't help but feel a sense of longing.

Although the girl is the core of White Eagle's plan to create an artificial god and likes reading, she is still too young and has never heard of much of the history of foreign countries.

But Marshal Max is completely different.

"I see." He supported himself on the table with both hands, leaning forward slightly, staring at his trading partner with a pair of tiger eyes, and then, as if sighing, and as if his guess was finally confirmed, he said, "Shirataka had received intelligence before that the Sakura Empire was planning the 'Susanoo Slashing the Eight Trigrams' ritual. I was originally wondering where they were going to find the descendants of the long-extinct Eight Gods, but now it seems... that 'unlucky guy' is you."

"Let me correct myself. I'm not the unlucky one," Taichi Yagami raised his left hand and shook his index finger left and right in front of his chest.

"That's right." Marshal Max nodded. "With the strength you have shown now, plus the shikigami who bypassed the restrictions of the contract and entered the Pure Stage ahead of time, it is really uncertain who will be Susanoo and who will be Yaki when the ceremony begins."

As he spoke, he glanced at the eight wine glasses held by Yagami Taichi, frowned slightly and said:

"So... you want to sign a contract with Gusteria and make her your eighth daughter?"

"Yes."

Yagami Taichi admitted it frankly and explained the reason directly:

"I've taken a fancy to Gray-san's Cyber ​​Dragon Transformation. This power may allow me to go a step further."

"You don't intend to hide anything at all." Marshal Max muttered softly.

As the superior of the girl beside him, he did not make a decision immediately, but turned around and gave the choice to his student.

"...Anyway, after drinking the wine of the Eight Gods, you can directly share a talent or technique with the guy opposite you, and this classmate Yagami can get the core results of my decades of research for free."

"I will not comment on the specific choice."

"After all, Gustria, you are the core of the artificial god plan."

342 Additional transactions rejected

If anyone else dared to propose the deal of sharing the results of the artificial life plan, Marshal Max and the White Eagle executives standing behind him would slap him in the face.

But Yagami Taichi, or more precisely, the Sky Island inheritance that he used to exchange, is an exception.

To be honest, the Kabbalah Tree of Life cultivation system is actually more valuable than the God-ascension plan.

After all, nearly a thousand scholars of White Eagle have conducted research for decades, but have only just taken the first, second, and third steps in the field of artificial gods.

There are still steps 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 to come.

Even if all the staff were to cheat and all the problems encountered could be solved in the shortest time possible, it would take about one or two hundred years before the results were produced.

This is still the best case scenario.

In fact, any research will inevitably reach a bottleneck.

And once you enter this stage... it is very normal to have no progress for more than ten years or even decades.

Let’s look at the heritage of Sky Island.

Even the most basic part can give researchers a lot of inspiration.

What's more, White Eagle's belief power cultivation system is very similar to the sacred power of the Holy See.

In other words, once the knowledge of the Kabbalah Tree of Life is obtained, it is entirely possible to use it directly.

This may not be a big deal for the middle-aged and young people in the upper echelons.

They still have decades to waste and can certainly afford to wait.

But for those old people whose lives have come to an end and who may die at any time, the inheritance of Sky Island is a completely different matter.

They are also the most active group of people within White Eagle who clamor to make a deal with Taichi Yagami.

As the core of the apotheosis plan, Gustria Gray's authority in White Eagle is already quite high.

Although he is still not at the decision-making level, he can sit in on many online meetings with the permission of Marshal Max.

She knew exactly what attitude the White Eagle executives had towards the young man sitting on the other side of the conference table.

Therefore, for various reasons, there was no intention to reject the proposal.

"I agree to sign the contract." Gustlia Gray swallowed his saliva and moved his eyes away from the transparent liquid in the eight wine glasses. "But before that, I want to make another deal with you in my personal name."

Taichi Yagami raised his eyebrows, stretched out his left hand and made a gesture of asking for permission to speak.

The girl with long white hair took a deep breath and slowly exhaled:

"The first time we met was in the library."

Yagami Taichi remembered this incident and nodded.

Gustria Gray paused for a moment, and then sent a message to Yagami Taichi's heart:

——That day, I sensed the presence of other gods near the space rift you opened that led to the unknown area.

"..."

Yagami Taichi fell silent after hearing this.

On October 10th, he took advantage of the characteristics of Gensokyo and took Xiaoxue to the real world for a trip.

When opening the gap, Taichi Yagami confirmed that there was no one else nearby.

But who could have imagined that the girl in front of him had no martial ethics and her perception was completely bound to the tactical radar mounted on the Gray Ghost.

Not to mention that Taichi Yagami had only walked nearly a hundred meters at the time, even if he had come to the edge of the spiritual realm where the academy was located, his behavior of connecting to Gensokyo would still be noticed by the other party.

Seeing the boy's expression suddenly darken, Gustria Gray quickly added:

——Don’t worry, I haven’t mentioned this discovery to anyone else.

--after all……

Gastlia Gray did not say the following words, but Taichi Yagami could vaguely guess it.

The girl's status in White Eagle is not low, but to those senior executives and researchers, she is ultimately just a guinea pig.

There is no intelligent life that does not yearn for freedom.

What's more, every time an experiment was conducted, Gastlia Gray would suffer a considerable degree of pain.

To say that he had no resentment towards White Eagle would undoubtedly be a lie.

But the girl buried this emotion deeply.

Compared to those people standing at the top of White Eagle, she is still too weak now.

So...

——I hope you can give me the permission to enter the area where the breath of God remains.

Gastlia Gray looked at Taichi Yagami, his expression as calm as ever, but there was a rare hint of pleading in his tone.

If someone else made this request, Taichi Yagami might even seek the opinion of Yakumo Yuuka, the real owner of Gensokyo.

But the girl in front of me...

"I'm sorry, but I can't agree to your proposal."

Yagami Taiichi opened his mouth and chose to refuse in front of Marshal Max.

He was not familiar with Gastlia Gray, and he chose her to become the Eighth Maiden simply because he coveted her ability to transform into a cyber dragon.

But the girl wanted to share the authority of the 'Lord of Gensokyo'.

Don't forget that Gensokyo was originally the defense mechanism used by the Sakura Empire's Psychic World to resist invasion from other countries.

No matter from which perspective, Yagami Taiyi would never hand over the keys to his house to an outsider.

"Is there no room for negotiation?"

Perhaps because he was really anxious, Gustlia Gray did not use telepathy anymore.

Yagami Taichi shook his head, his attitude firm.

Marshal Max, who was sitting next to the girl, glanced at the girl beside him. He vaguely guessed the other party's plan, but out of basic sense of good and evil, he did not choose to stop her.

If Gustria can really convince Taichi Yagami, then it is destiny.

He pretended to be completely unaware of the matter.

Anyway, Gustria did not tell him the most crucial content in front of him.

Seeing that the young man sitting on the other side of the conference table was unmoved, the girl couldn't help but sigh.

She opened her mouth and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I pushed too far."

What you want to do has nothing to do with the other party, so it is normal not to get any help.

"It's okay." Taichi Yagami shrugged. He put the Eight Gods Wine on the table and pushed it in front of Gastlia Gray.

Although the additional deal between him and the girl was not reached, it does not mean that his deal with White Eagle will end there.

Gustlia Gray was also very direct. He picked up the square cup, put it to his lips, and then drank it in one gulp.

"belch--"

The girl has probably never touched alcohol.

After drinking it, her cheeks turned red, her eyes were confused, and she burped cutely.

But the next second, Gastlia Gray's consciousness was pulled into a slightly dim space.

Also appearing at the same time was the owner of this place - Yagami Taichi.

343 'Bird in a Cage' by Gestria Gray

"Is this the bloodline space of the Eight Gods mentioned by the Marshal?"

Gastlia Gray asked this while looking around curiously.

Yagami nodded slightly.

He was in no hurry to complete the final step of the Eight Maidens Ceremony with the girl.

But after a moment of silence, he suddenly asked:

"Can you tell me why you want to gain access to Gensokyo?"

"Fantasy?"

When Gastlia Gray heard this, he was stunned at first, and then he realized that the Gensokyo the other party was talking about was the unknown area where he had noticed that there were many breaths of gods.

Combined with the basic extraordinary knowledge of various countries learned in the Academy of Sciences...

"I see."
