I'm a weird expert in Japan
Page 124
Afterwards, Lian briefly explained that these four were old acquaintances from Naoetsu Town, so a few words of greeting were inevitable.
Although it was mainly Sengoku who was talking to Hanekawa and the others.
"What is that Naoetsu Town?" Kazusa couldn't help but be a little curious.
All the weird people Lian knew came from there, and she had never even heard of the place name. It sounded like a remote rural area.
"It is indeed a very remote area. It will take several days and nights to get there." Lian smiled.
He wouldn't mind telling a few stories, but unfortunately the occasion didn't allow it.
After exchanging greetings, the few people sat down in the pavilion one after another, and Lian nodded to Sengoku Nadeshiko, who was on duty.
"Then let's give that thing to Ren first." Sengoku Nadeshiko looked at Atonoki.
Then Funoki pulled out a short knife with a red scabbard from the Boston bag on the ground and handed it to Lian.
"…This is, Meng Du?"
Looking at the thing that Atonoki handed over, Lian drew out the blade doubtfully, and then became convinced that it was indeed the other demon sword that was paired with Kokoro.
"This is something that Miss Woyan asked me to pass on to Lianjun." Sengoku Nadeshiko said softly, "Because it is related to this plan."
Lightning flashed across the sky, and in a blink of an eye, heavy rain came with the thunder.
Chapter 209 Chapter 2 Cause and Effect ()
There are two demon swords in total, named Xindu and Mengdu.
Heart Ferry can kill any monster, while Dream Ferry can repair the damage caused by Heart Ferry.
The original disappeared four hundred years ago, and the Shinto in Lian's hand is a replica made by Shinobu Oshino.
Normally, this kind of imitation would disappear if it was too far away from its creator. The reason why Lian was able to keep it was that Shinobu Oshino mixed the blood taken when he was born into the blade as the raw material, rather than her own blood.
As for the current one, it was remade by Woyan Izuko by melting the armor of the strange killer from four hundred years ago.
There are both crossings of the heart and crossings of dreams.
Miss Waki used this knife to revive Araragi Koyomi, who was dismembered by Shindo - although it was only to make Araragi Koyomi go to hell to do some work.
If the purpose is to kill the monster, Lian's Heart Ferry is enough, which can be seen from the fact that Miss Woyan did not pass on the Heart Ferry.
As for Meng Du...what exactly is he going to do?
Lian listened with doubt as the four people from Naoetsu Town began to get to the point of the meeting.
"Remember what I mentioned some time ago about the twin vampires we defeated in Germany?" said Hanekawa Tsubasa.
"Of course, teacher, you said they were captured by the Shinomiya family and brought back to Japan." Lian remembered it very clearly, and even recalled every detail of the incident in Germany a few years ago. "Did they escape?"
"The Shinomiya family is keeping a close watch on this matter. You can't just run away if you want to." Oshino Osamu shook his gloved hand, "Unless it's a vampire of Ren-kun's level."
"And now it has caused strange weather conditions throughout Japan. To explain, we have to start with the twins—" Atonoki took over the conversation.
Finally, Sengoku Nadeshiko took over the topic and led the discussion. "Indeed, the German vampire twins were captured by the Shinomiya family and are now being held deep underground, being used as research materials for inhumane research."
When using the word "inhumane", Sengoku Nadeshiko seemed to hesitate.
When faced with pure vampire twins who torture and kill humans and then eat them, it is questionable whether the word "humane" applies.
Perhaps it is more appropriate to view it as a phrase that describes the way of doing things.
"The purpose... is really to take advantage of the immortality of vampires and hope to apply that immortality to humans?" Lian had already guessed it.
"That's right. The Shinomiya family tried to extend the lifespan of their core members by mastering immortality." Qianshi said, "Their goal should be to extend the lifespan of the head of the family... Of course, not the current head of the family."
The main branch of the Shigong family is divided into three factions. Among them, the eldest son, Shigong Huangguang, is supported by the head of the family, Shigong Yan'an. He occupies an absolute dominant position in the family and is the first choice to inherit the position of head of the family in the future.
But Sigong Huangguang is already forty years old, and in a few years he will be fifty years old.
Although he is not old and can even be said to be young for the heir of such a large family, the person concerned may not think so.
So, what we need to do at this time is to find ways to prolong our lifespan. It would be even better if we could be immortal.
It may take forty to fifty years as an heir, or even longer, before you can wait for the succession.
There is little time left to enjoy power.
The degree of "tragedy" is comparable to being the British Crown Prince for sixty years.
"Won't there be any problems in this case? If the head of the family stays in office for too long, it will definitely arouse suspicion from the outside world, right?" Shan raised the question at this time.
Of course, she didn't really not understand, but she deliberately made Lian think.
"It's a very simple matter. As long as the real power of the family is always in hand, the representative in public can be changed regularly. It might be more in line with the idea of the heir to sit behind the scenes and control everything." Lian thought for a moment, "Besides, identity is just a piece of paper for the Shinomiya family. If necessary, they can even periodically create an identity for the new generation of the family."
In this way, he keeps changing his identity, always sitting in the position full of power and status, watching other people grow old and die from generation to generation, and permanently holding power.
——The premise is that these things themselves are permanent and unchanging.
"Putting aside all the messy power and intrigue, the most crucial point of this matter is that it has triggered the current large-scale changes?" Lian asked.
"In a sense, that's true, but strictly speaking, it's just a catalyst. This weirdness has actually been conceived a long time ago, and now it's just because of a little opportunity that it's completely hatched and manifested." Sengoku Nadeshiko frowned slightly, her eyes full of worry.
Unlike the Mirror Kingdom, or even the time when Sengoku Nadeshiko herself became the Snake God, this time the weirdness has a more...powerful influence.
As if it was born to destroy everything... an existence that symbolizes destruction.
However, Sengoku Nadeshiko's expression was not that uneasy. After noticing this, Lian began to reflect on her own thinking, wondering if there was something wrong.
"So what you mean is...is this strange thing an act of revenge against the Shinomiya family? Or is it that the power of the vampires got out of control and created something unprecedented?" Lian changed her stance slightly and leaned her shoulders against the pillar. "Can you stop keeping us in suspense?"
He was not anxious or irritated, he just had no interest in what the Shinomiya family did.
The vampire twins tortured and ate humans as toys, and now they are imprisoned and even killed by humans. In a sense, this is retribution.
Their actions have gone beyond simply eating, which is why a completely unrelated existence like Lian is involved in the task of exterminating them.
——Although the highlight was finally taken by Hanekawa Tsubasa who activated the blood of Kiss-shot in his body.
Therefore, Lian did not sympathize with the vampire twins whose dignity had been lost.
What is happening and what has not happened deserves more attention than what has happened.
"Don't be anxious, I'm going to start explaining now--" Hanekawa Tsubasa comforted Lian in a gentle voice.
Lian was about to explain that she was not anxious or angry when her cell phone rang.
A short email notification tone.
"Wait a moment—" He made an apologetic gesture.
Lian opened her phone and went to the mailbox interface. She saw an incoming email and said, "This is..."
Another flash of lightning flashed across the sky, brighter and more dazzling than the previous one. It seemed to be a sign of wind. Staying in the pavilion would not help but cause rain.
"Sorry, I think I have to leave for a while." Lian closed his phone and said to the four people apologetically.
Hanekawa stood up, "It looks like something has happened... Then you go and deal with it first. It just so happens that it's raining heavily, so let's go to another place. Lian-jun, can you lend me your vacant house?"
"Meet up there afterwards? I see."
Lian simply took the key and handed it to Hanekawa Tsubasa.
Chapter 210: Please Remember Me (1)
It was already 8:30 in the evening when Sawamura Spencer Eriri arrived at the Shinomiya villa.
The villa that used to be heavily guarded now looks a little strange. There are no lights in the huge villa, and it is pitch black and exudes a cold and lonely atmosphere. If you come here for the first time, you might think you have come to an abandoned haunted house.
The rain had just stopped a moment ago, and the sound of rain water flowing into the drainage ditch could be heard nearby.
An iron gate several meters high stood in front of her, but it was not closed. Instead, there was a gap that a person could barely squeeze through. She reached out and pushed the wet iron fence, and the gate creaked, obviously it could be pushed.
She realized that it was not a good idea to just walk in, so she pressed the doorbell several times, but no one came to open the door or greet her. Eriri, who was worried, shouted "Excuse me" several times in a row.
Still no response, she had no choice but to purse her lips and push the door hard. The iron door opened a little more and she slipped in.
In front of me was the familiar front garden. There was rainwater from the past on the road, and mud splashed onto the roadside, and it seemed that no one had come to clean it up.
A few days ago, our family home was suddenly hit by a fire. Judging from the subsequent news reports, the damage was extremely serious, and it seemed that the entire house was uninhabitable.
But it can’t be that even the villa in Tokyo is unattended, right?
And Shizhu just told her that he returned to the villa today.
Did something happen again?
Ying Lili walked carefully towards the main entrance, looking left and right from time to time, and soon found Shizhu sitting under the pavilion in the courtyard.
From a distance, it seemed as if he was keeping his head down and not saying a word, as if he had made a mistake.
But no matter what, Eriri was very happy that he was here. She immediately trotted over and walked over, ignoring the muddy grass and the splashing water.
"Ying Lili..." Shizhu raised his head when he heard the voice, was surprised for a moment, and then showed an expression of realization.
It looked like he had forgotten why he was here.
"Why is the door unlocked? There's no one in the villa?" Eriri asked anxiously, standing in front of Shizhu. "Where's Sister Kaguya?"
Shizhu lowered her head again and clasped her hands together with her fingers intertwined. "My sister is temporarily living outside."
"Eh? Going outside?"
"When we came back in the afternoon, there was a problem with the electrical circuit in the villa. It seemed that the repair was done improperly, which caused the transformer box to explode. The kitchen was scrapped." Shizhu said concisely, "Fortunately, there was no one nearby at the time, so there were no casualties. However, the water and electricity in the villa were broken, and my sister couldn't stay there. She took her attendants and some people to stay at the Tokyo Hotel and waited until the repairs were done before returning."
"No way..." Eriri looked towards the villa.
The kitchen cannot be seen from the front, and now that night has fallen, it is impossible to see the specific situation.
But the fact that there was no one in the villa was enough to explain the problem.
"Yeah." Shizhu responded sullenly.
"Um... what happened?" Ying Lili squatted down, took Shizhu's hand, and looked up at him. "I heard from Shijo that it seems to be related to strange phenomena?"
"You went to find that guy?" Shizhu was slightly surprised.
"Because it's really strange. It's definitely not normal for a fire to suddenly start." Eriri admitted frankly, "Isn't Shijo the one who knows this kind of thing best?"
"That's right..." Shizhu smiled helplessly.
It would be more outrageous to say that Lian still knows nothing about it.
Although he is always alone, he seems to know a very large network of weird experts and intelligence, so it would not be surprising if he knows something.
"Eri..." Shizhu took a deep breath, "Can I tell you something?"
"What?" Ying Lili asked blankly.
"Let's...break up." Shizhu showed a bitter expression.
"Why?" Ying Lili held Shizhu's hand tightly, preventing him from breaking free.
Fortunately, he did not struggle, and it was obvious that this was an extremely reluctant decision.
"...I am a dirty existence." Shizhu raised his head and pursed his lips, "Because I have the dirty blood of the Shinomiya family flowing in my body."
"Why are you suddenly talking about this again?" Ying Lili forced a smile, "Haven't you always said this?"
"I just..." Shizhu was a little incoherent, "I didn't expect that my family could be so ugly. The current status and power can no longer satisfy their desires... Those people have already begun-"
He seemed to be hesitant to speak, and expressions of joy, anger, sorrow and happiness flashed across his face one by one.
"What's wrong? Can you... tell me?" Ying Lili held Shizhu's hand and made a pleading sound.
"...They have already started to pursue immortality." Shi Zhu's expression was extremely gloomy. "They are not seeking elixirs as the legend says, but they are really conducting research, using captured vampires as materials and humans as experimental subjects."
He woke up very quickly in that underground research institute and revived before being sent out. When the researcher went to look for Sigong Huangguang, he saw the experimental site again.
Living people, men, women, young and old, were used as different types of experimental subjects for vampire affinity experiments.
Watching those people being transfused with vampire blood and then suffering from excruciating pain because of the inability to adapt, those who survived were immediately tested for their affinity.
Even use ultraviolet light directly to test whether the weak points have been eliminated.
People are no longer people, but mice that serve to achieve Sigong Huangguang's purpose. They are simply props and food that exist to achieve immortality.
"Human...experiments..." Eriri was horrified.
