Starting from the Dragon Clan, it's a 50-50 split

"It's very dangerous outside right now," Yuan Zhisheng suppressed the urge to kill Mo Qiuran with a knife and explained, "Didn't we agree to wait until everything is over..."

"Don't say such classic perfunctory and polite words!" Mo Qiuran waved his hand to interrupt him, "Besides, haven't your people already set out? It should be safe at this time! They wouldn't have expected that we would come to Genji Heavy Industries and then leave!"

"Can you please stop talking while standing so that your waist won't hurt?" Yuan Zhisheng scolded angrily.

"With me here, you don't have to worry unless you're throwing a nuclear bomb on your head!" Mo Qiuran stretched out her hand to pat him on the shoulder while bragging about her mother-in-law. Yuan Zhisheng wanted to dodge, but it was like many times before. Same, he couldn't dodge at all, that hand fell to the familiar position on the shoulder and patted.

Yuan Zhisheng had almost no reaction to being patted on the shoulder. He took a deep breath and was about to say something when a series of footsteps and shouting sounds came from the side. The door at the end of the corridor was pushed open, and Chu Zihang and Finkel rushed in, followed by a group of people in security uniforms.

"Junior... uh, you are all here!" Finkel stopped and gasped when he saw the scene in front of him.

Chu Zihang also stopped and looked around. He paused for a moment on Huiliyi who was beside Mo Qiuran, then looked at Mo Qiuran and gave him a puzzled look.

"This is Uesugi Eriya, this guy's sister!" Mo Qiuran explained immediately.

Chu Zihang was silent. Why was someone else's sister standing with you? What happened during the short time you disappeared? And your tone of voice, fearing misunderstanding, could easily lead to misunderstanding!

"Huh? I didn't expect you to have such a beautiful sister! You know what, they look quite alike!" Finkel looked back and forth at Genchisei and Eri's faces while panting.

At this time, the security guards who were chasing after them finally arrived. When they saw Genjiro and Eri, they were shocked and bowed deeply despite being out of breath: "Young Master! Master of the Uesugi family!"

"Hey, hey, honestly, can't we go out?" Mo Qiuran asked, "Look, she's about to cry!"

Gen Chisei was startled and quickly looked at Eri.

Eiry just stood there, looking at Mo Qiuran with some confusion.

"You have to cooperate a little at a time like this," Mo Qiuran whispered to her, "Acting, acting!"

Yuan Zhisheng: "..."

I heard it!

When Huili heard the words, she fell into deep thought. Huili... still didn't understand and looked at Mo Qiuran quietly.

"You are really going too far. You actually did such a cruel thing to such an innocent girl! I will ask Senior Finkel to write this matter into the report!" Mo Qiuran turned his head and said to Yuan Zhisheng.

As long as you are not embarrassed, it will always be others who are embarrassed.

"Wait, what does this have to do with me!" Finkel hadn't even caught his breath when he heard Mo Qiuran say this. He protested in confusion, especially when he saw Yuan Zhisheng's sharp eyes turned to him after hearing his words, he shrank behind Chu Zihang.

"Senior, you are the leader of the specialist group. If not you, who will write the report?" Mo Qiuran spread his hands.

"I deeply feel that I am incapable of fulfilling this responsibility, so why not temporarily hand over this important position to you, junior brother?" Finkel said sincerely.

"Changing the leader before a battle is a taboo in the military! This kind of thing cannot be done, so it has to be you, senior." Mo Qiuran waved his hands repeatedly, "Also, the rule of our Kassel Academy is that we will never change the team leader unless it is too late! So if you must change, there is a way. I can try to lend you a hand..."

"What kind of rule is this? I've never heard of it in six years of studying at Kassel College!" Finkel was shocked.

"Just got it!" Mo Qiuran rolled up his sleeves with a grim smile, and it seemed that he really wanted to lend him a helping hand in the literal sense.

"I was wrong, junior! I am still the team leader. You guys do the work, and I will write the report and take the blame!" Finkel actively claimed his role as the scapegoat for this mission.

"Everyone," Yuan Zhisheng held the spider's hand tightly, suppressing his desire to chop off these crazy people who are still playing tricks at this time, and said calmly, "Please move on."

……

In the back seat of the Maybach, Tachibana Masamune sat upright with his eyes closed in deep thought.

Beside him was Patriarch Inuyama, who also had a serious look on his face at this time.

"Master Inuyama, what do you think?" Tachibana Masamune suddenly said.

"Head, I think... it looks more like an accident." Inuyama He hesitated and replied, "We have kept the news about the head of the Uesugi family very secret. There shouldn't be any channel at the headquarters that can get this news."

"Coincidence... Yes, this should be a coincidence. They arrived at Genji Heavy Industries during the attack, and it happened that Eri started to 'run away from home' at this time..." Tachibana Masamune pondered for a moment and smiled helplessly, "There is an old Chinese saying called 'Man proposes, God disposes', maybe this is a coincidence destined by fate... Then how do you think we should deal with these things?"

Inuyama He was silent.

It seems that the matter about Eri can no longer be concealed, unless they go all out and kill all the members of the special team including Mo Qiuran. Killing is always the best way to keep secrets, but they can't. If S-class is injured in Japan, that would be a reason for Angers to come to Japan, not to mention what would happen if he was missing!

"You can't kill him, you can't lock him up," Inuyama He said, "You can't even threaten him."

"Of course not. Even at this stage, what we need to be wary of is not Ange, but that S-class boy," Tachibana Masamune said slowly. "After S-class 'made a move', Kaguya-hime extracted the surveillance along the way and all the cameras that captured that scene at the time. The final analysis results show that either S-class did not make a move, or the Word Spirit is an unknown special Word Spirit, or S-class is a 'god'-like existence."

"What?" Inuyama He was stunned.

"Sixteen people, all shot in the forehead, the gunshots were at the same time, Kaguya slowed down all the images to the extreme, the surveillance camera on the road at that time was shooting at 120 frames per second." Tachibana Masamune said, "It was only one frame, the entire picture only had the picture of the S-class breaking through the bulletproof skylight, and in the next frame, there were sixteen balls of fire in the air... After hearing all this, what do you think of, Master Inuyama?"

“……极速？”犬山贺喃喃地说着，“但是这怎么可能呢？120帧每秒的话意味着那个摄像头一秒钟拍摄120次……一次之间的间隔是1/120秒，而S级……他难道在1/120秒中内完成了十六次开枪，甚至还包括瞄准？”

Inuyama He's face was full of disbelief, probably like the expression of someone who saw a cheater in real life.

"Can you do it, Master Inuyama?" asked Masamune Tachibana.

"I'm sorry... Headmaster." Inuyama He shook his head, "If the S-class really completed sixteen aiming and firing in that amount of time... that means he could kill a person in 1/1920 of a second, at least.

The most I can push Setsuna's [Level] to is Level 128, and that's only 1 times. Without using Word Spirits, I can perform three slashes in one second... At most, in the most ideal situation, I can only kill an enemy in 384/ of a second, and in that case... my mind can't keep up with my actions!

However, the S-class... can even aim..."

There was a hint of bitterness in Inuyama He's tone that was hard to conceal.

"At that speed, only cold weapons can exert their absolute combat power, unless... the gun itself is also accelerated!" Inuyama He looked at Tachibana Masamune with a cold body, and said word by word, "Word Spirit. [Time Zero]... 9th level?"

"Kaguya-sama gave the same guess as you did. The initial speed was quadrupled, and [Time Zero] was at level 9... That was a realm that only the legendary 'God' could achieve. She used it so easily, and there was not even any side effect. It was just that the clothes were scorched. The speed was so fast that it could catch fire by friction with the air..."

Tachibana Masamune also sighed: "Ange is so confident not because he believes that his long-accumulated reputation can make us dare not act rashly... but because the person he sent is already too powerful for us to handle. Decades ago, he alone could make the Eight Snake Clans bow down. Decades later, his student, who is even more powerful than him, will naturally make us extremely afraid!"

"This is really... shocking news." Inuyama He was a little dejected. His biggest wish in this life was to be able to surpass Ange in speed, but now Ange's students are so bad that he can no longer look up to them.

"Master Inuyama, now is not the time to be discouraged," Tachibana Masamune said slowly, "Perhaps we should change our strategy."

……

"So because of physical reasons and the possibility of losing control and causing excessive damage leading to serious consequences..." Mo Qiuran looked at Eri who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing into the distance in a trance. The torrent of colorful neon lights, white street lights, car headlights and other lights constructed a scene of human world civilization. Her crimson eyes seemed to be immersed in it, her little mouth slightly opened, and she held the little duck in her arms tightly.

"You just locked her up? How long did she have to be locked up for this to happen?"

"That's protection!" Yuan Zhisheng knocked on the table and said, "If anything abnormal happens, she can get treatment at any time!"

At this time, they were in a meeting room of the senior management of Genji Heavy Industries. Sakura went to report the situation, while Genji Chisei was responsible for delaying Mo Qiuran and others here.

Chapter 3: Taking Eriya "Running Away from Home" (k)

"But what's the point of such protection?" Mo Qiuran said, "She herself doesn't want it, so is your protection... more for her, or for other purposes, or for your own purposes?"

"Of course..." When Yuan Zhisheng was about to speak, he was suddenly stunned as if a flash of lightning passed through his mind.

Is it for Eri... or for yourself?

Yuan Zhisheng was clear, he couldn't be clearer.

However, at this moment, he was unable to face this fact, a fact that had always been in front of him but he had subconsciously ignored it because he was unwilling to face it.

"Because she is the 'Tsukuyomi' of the Snake Eight Clan." said an old and kind voice.

Except for Eri, who was still staring blankly at the street scene as if she could never see enough, everyone turned their heads to look in the direction where the sound came from.

He was a silver-haired old man who looked very kind and benevolent.

"I am Tachibana Masamune, the head of the Snake Eight Families." Tachibana Masamune smiled, "Welcome to all the commissioners."

Mo Qiuran raised his eyebrows: "Okay, so you are the culprit!"

Mo Qiuran also had an impression of the name Tachibana Masamune.

It seems that this name and the name Herzog often appear together...

Mo Qiuran couldn't remember the details, but that didn't stop him from being extremely wary of Tachibana Masamune!

"Shut up, don't be rude to the head of the family!" Yuan Zhisheng, who was still in a trance, stood up suddenly after hearing these words.

"Okay," Tachibana Masamune waved his hand, with a slightly bitter smile on his face, looking in the direction of Eri, "Eri is the Tsukuyomi no Mikoto of the main family, just like Chisei is the Amaterasu no Mikoto of the main family. She was born with important responsibilities. It is normal for the Commissioner to harbor such malice without understanding the reason."

"So are you going to tell me the reason?" Mo Qiuran asked.

"Of course." Tachibana Masamune said with a smile.

"This is the first time I've seen someone so easy to talk to. You're worthy of being a leader!" Mo Qiuran nodded in praise, then looked at Yuan Zhisheng, "Learn more from him! It doesn't matter if you don't know how to do it now since you're still the young master. What if you still don't know how to do it when you inherit the position of the head of the family?"

Yuan Zhisheng had an urge to draw his sword.

Can you please not lecture me in this elder-like way, you bastard! And you even said that I became the head of the family, isn't that a curse on me? !

"You say!" After Mo Qiuran finished teaching Yuan Zhisheng a lesson, he looked at Tachibana Masamune with an attitude of listening attentively.

This kind of operation is called teasing and then running away. If you are skilled enough and fearless enough, you can experience the pleasure of others hating you so much but not daring or being able to do anything.

"Ahem..." Tachibana Masamune coughed lightly, "Why don't we move on..."

"No, no, I think this place is pretty good." Mo Qiuran pointed at Eriyi, "Eriyi is the person involved, so she has the right to hear it, right?"

Eri's eyes, which had been staring at the traffic in the distance, moved, and she turned around to look at the boy who was not at all restrained in front of Tachibana Masamune, and instead dared to interrupt him and even talked and bargained with him.

Then he turned back, hugged the little yellow duck in his arms, and began to look at the bustling street seriously again.

I don’t know when the next time will be.

"...Okay." Tachibana Masamune pondered for a while, nodded, and then told the story slowly.

After a while...

"Because of the instability of the bloodline, you need regular treatment to prevent yourself from turning into a deadpool or going berserk and destroying the things around you?" Mo Qiuran stroked his chin and looked at the somewhat dazed Yuan Zhisheng, "Zhisheng-kun, you are not being honest. You don't even finish your words on purpose..."

"... Dad, you..." Gen Chisei couldn't help but want to say something, but was stopped by Tachibana Masamune's eyes, just like sometimes when children see their parents glaring at them, they will be afraid and realize that they have made a mistake again but don't know what mistake they made.

"Yes, that's why we can't let Eri go out into the world. It's just that... as she grows up, she'll inevitably yearn for the outside world." Tachibana Masamune looked at Eri and sighed, "When a child grows up, just like a bird grows up, it will yearn to fly."

"Saying this won't change what you've done." Mo Qiuran interrupted the atmosphere of "old people reminiscing about the past" with empty eyes. At this moment, he was even more wary of Tachibana Masamune... It sounds better than what he said, but in the end, didn't he still do everything he should have done?

This is just a smiling tiger!

Come to think of it, can a gangster boss be a good person? Well... except for the undercover who will soon become the boss if the net is not closed. That is a disguise, a disguise!

"So, now, I seem to see an opportunity to make up for the mistakes we made." said Tachibana Masamune

"Hmm? How do you mean this?" Mo Qiuran's eyes became deep. He could realize that Tachibana Masamune was probably coming for him, but he had not yet figured out how this man intended to achieve his desired goal.

"We didn't dare let Eri go out because we were worried that if she lost control, she would suffer irreparable damage. As for treatment, it's actually a trivial matter in comparison," said Tachibana Masamune. "To be honest, because Eri is too powerful, no one in our family can stop her from going out of control without hurting her, or stop her when she loses control..."

"But I can." Mo Qiuran raised his eyebrows and said in an affirmative tone.

Eri turned her head.

"Yes, Commissioner, you can." Tachibana Masamune nodded.

The conference room fell into silence, a long silence.

"So... are you planning to marry your daughter off?" Finkel asked weakly, raising his hand.

As soon as Gu/span finished speaking, Finkel saw Chu Zihang looking at him. That look... was like - sympathy?

"Senior, there are some things you can say and some things you can't say..." Mo Qiuran stood up expressionlessly, walked behind Finkel, put his hands on his shoulders and began to massage.

It’s just that… looking at the bulging muscles and bulging veins, you can tell that this so-called “massage” uses a bit too much force.

"Ahhh!" Finkel screamed.

"I have a girlfriend, you want to kill me, don't you?" Mo Qiuran shook him and said through gritted teeth, "I think your privilege of hanging on the wall of the school news agency can be removed!"

"Is there such a good thing?" Finkel shuddered.

"So he was just pretending." Chu Zihang chose to make the final move at the critical moment.

"Ah! Junior, I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person!" Finkel screamed again.

Tachibana Masamune looked at the three people who were interacting and making a mess over there in a daze. What... was going on?

No, weren't we just talking seriously about Eri's problem? Why did you start playing around with each other?

Yuan Zhisheng covered his forehead helplessly. He knew that things would develop to this point, but he couldn't say that this was the most painful...

"Ahem... Sorry, Senior just ate too much by mistake. When he eats too much, he likes to talk nonsense. Where were we talking about just now?" Mo Qiuran snapped his fingers. "Oh, right, we were talking about me being able to stop Eri from going berserk, right?"

"Yes, S-class certainly has this strength," Tachibana Masamune felt that the rhythm had finally returned to normal at this moment, "So, if possible..."

"I hope that during this mission, you can take Eri with you to experience the outside world." Tachibana Masamune stood up, bent down and bowed 90 degrees, and said in a loud voice, "This is my sincere request. As the head of the Snake Eight Families and an elder who watched Eri grow up... please!"

……

In the Maybach, Inuyama He sat in the back seat, and his posture seemed to have not changed.

He seemed to hear again the words that Tachibana Masamune had said in the car before.

“Since the commissioner is so powerful, we can try to win him over.”
