In the anime, their emotions can be combined into strange props

"From the conversation between this young man and the two members of the Bug Organization, it's clear that he possesses the same power as the Connector, namely, the power of the Mind Spirit Tattoo!"

Katara Metō paused the video, then pointed at the figures of Shen Wulong and Xia Yan, and said to Wu Huiliyang beside him, "Of course, this is not the key point. Even if they possess terrifying power, it's nothing to say if we can't obtain it."

"Unfortunately, it's clear that neither of these two sides is someone we can afford to offend. Otherwise, if we are too arrogant and disregard personal strength, the fate of Hayami will serve as an example for us. So the key now is..."

Katara Mitsudo suddenly moved his finger and pointed at another veiled member of the Insect Organization on the screen. "This is Xia Yan, the self-proclaimed leader of the Insect Organization. Although they left in a hurry, it's obvious that they were well prepared - he left a "gift" for us in advance!"

"It's information about the Black Organization!"

Katara Metō didn't keep the conversation a secret. He pulled out a handwritten black leather notebook from his kimono. He then placed the plain notebook on the table, pointed at it, and said directly, "To put it simply, there are roughly two key pieces of information mentioned here."

"First of all, the leader of the Karasuma Group, the predecessor of the Black Organization, Karasuma Renya - he's still alive!"

"This is really... a shocking piece of news all of a sudden."

Wu Huiliyang's eyebrows twitched suddenly in surprise: "I remember 70 years ago, when the two of us old guys were still young, this old man was already 99 years old. So he has now..."

"169 years old? That's outrageous. Is this information trustworthy?"

“I can’t believe it all, but I have to believe it.”

After the Mushi organization left him the notebook containing the information, there was a kind of unspoken tacit understanding and cooperative tendency between Katarahara Metsudo and the organization.

After all, compared to the conflict with the Mushi Organization decades ago that he hardly remembered, Katara Metō was more resentful of the Black Organization and Karasuma Renya who had treated him as a puppet over the years.

With a common enemy, at least in terms of basic intelligence sharing, the Bug Organization shouldn't be able to completely deceive him, but...

Katara Metō took a deep breath with a bit of palpitations, then opened the notebook in his hand, turned to a certain page, and handed it to his old friend next to him.

Wu Huiliyang took it and looked at it, and found that there was a blurry photo that looked very old on it - after all, it was a black and white photo, how could it not look old.

The photo showed a blurry profile of a person. Wu Huiliyang looked closely and noticed that the person in the photo had ears that stretched upwards, appearing unusually pointed, and a nose that seemed larger than normal.

Judging from the lack of wrinkles on his face, his age should be between young and middle-aged.

Knowing that Katara Metō would not show him a photo for no reason, Wu Huiliyang was also trying his best to collect the information revealed by the person in the photo, but after thinking about it, he could not figure out what Katara Metō's purpose was in showing him this photo.

until……

Wu Huiliyang thought of the person that Katahara Metō had just told him. He couldn't help but widen his eyes and questioned in disbelief: "You don't mean to say?!"

"That's right, if nothing unexpected happens, this is what Karasuma Renya looks like now!"

Although he had experienced such a shock once, Katahara Metō still felt his breathing a little quickened this time. He tugged at the collar of his kimono:

"This is the only photo of Karasuma Renya that the Mushi Organization has taken in the past few decades. That old immortal thing has really turned from an old crow into an old bat."

"A young and vibrant body, the temptation of eternal life, how wonderful~!"

Chapter 162 The entanglement between the Black Organization and the Bug Organization

"Let me sort out the general situation first."

"First of all, although we still don't know the source of the conflict between the Black Organization and the Bug Organization, I have deep reasons to suspect..."

Katahara Metō first raised his cane and pointed at the screen in front of the two men. It was showing the scene of Shen Wulong launching a city-destroying and mountain-shattering psychic energy cannon. He smirked and said, "The Karasuma Group was probably harmed by this 'thing' back then, which is why they were forced to go underground and become the Black Organization."

Wu Huiliyang nodded in agreement when he saw the terrifying destructive power displayed by Shen Wulong in the surveillance video. He didn't believe that just one person could cause the collapse of such a large conglomerate that was second to none in Japan.

But if it's Shen Daxian, then it's normal~

"Then, the battle between the Black Organization and the Bug Organization began to enter its second phase."

Katahara Metō retracted his cane and said darkly, "That old man, Karasuma Renya, has undoubtedly become a vampire, as described in Western legends. He has thus gained a vibrant and eternal life and has survived to this day."

"Eternal life! For us old folks, gasping for air at the slightest bit of strenuous exercise, feeling as if our bodies are decaying and our lives are slipping away at every moment... Eriyang, I don't need to elaborate on how irresistible the allure of this is, do I?"

Katahara Metō sighed softly, "Even I still can't stop wondering if we should just join the Black Organization and regain our youthful bodies. Back then, Karasuma Renya used the irresistible lure of immortality to recruit a large number of aging politicians and high-ranking officials from various countries."

"Maybe he's just like those fantasy works that young people like to read nowadays, wanting to secretly become the king of some vampire otherworld, hahahaha~"

"What about the Bug Organization? What role did they play in this? What did they do?" Wu Huiliyang asked. "Judging from the current international situation, it doesn't look like the Black Organization has achieved their goal."

"That's right. To cope with the growing power of the Black Organization and the inevitable encirclement and suppression they'll face, the Bug Organization has chosen to break up into smaller units. This means they no longer consider a single location their headquarters. With the exception of training locations, almost all of their members have gone undercover, infiltrating various organizations."

Katahara Metō nodded in approval, pointing his cane at another member of the Mushi Organization whose true face had been revealed on the screen. "For example, I've had someone investigate this one. His name is Fei Wang Fang. Before he was temporarily recruited by the Mushi Organization as a 'guard of honor', he was, on the surface, an A-rank fighter of our second-largest fighting group, Purgatory."

"And the Mushi Organization isn't just lurking in fighting groups. They're also present in the military, politicians, corporations, religions, regional organizations, the underworld, and so on, of various countries. They're present in any organization of a certain size around the world."

"It's really scary."

Wu Huiliyang couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. When the acquaintances, partners, or even brothers who greet you in a friendly manner when you meet them normally may actually be brainwashed members of the insect organization who will stab you at any time without hesitation for the sake of their contacts - this situation is creepy just to think about.

Are there such people in Wu Zhili of their family?

"As for their purpose of infiltrating various organizations, it is to constantly monitor the top leaders of these organizations to see if they display any particular characteristics in their daily lives."

Katahara Metō continued, his tone gradually becoming more murderous, "The lower-level vampires developed by Karasuma Renya to grant immortality to humans mostly have weaknesses such as fear of sunlight and silver."

"So when they discover that the higher-ups in their organization who are lurking within them have traits like [staying indoors for extended periods of time] and [never leaving the house during the day], and are suspected of being Karasuma Renya's diehard fans, they will begin killing indiscriminately! From individual assassinations to annihilation to massacres!

"If one person isn't enough, then we'll continuously summon members of the organization and fight with all our might! Kill them all to the death! This will limit the Black Organization's growth!"

"Tuk~Tuk~"

After Wu Huiliyang drummed his fingers on the table, digesting the information, and Katara Metō took a breath, he continued, "And I and my Kengankai are the product of the late stage of the confrontation between these two major organizations."

"The Black Organization can no longer rely on vampire transformation to develop effective subordinate organizations. They can only choose to spend time and effort to train puppets like me! In order to divert the attention of the Bug Organization."

"The Bug Organization mistakenly thought I was a member of the Black Organization. However, because I wasn't afraid of sunlight and didn't live in seclusion, they were a little confused about my position. That's why it took a while for us to have some conflicts. During this operation, they had some tacit communication with me."

"...So what are you going to do next?"

After listening to his old friend's summary and watching him slowly sit back on the soft sofa and leisurely sip the tea on the table, Wu Huiliyang couldn't help but ask.

"Hahaha~, who knows? After all, after this farce, I definitely won't be able to become the president of the Kengan Society. This mess might fall on that Nogi kid."

“…” Wu Huiliyang stared at her old friend beside her without saying a word.

"...Okay, okay, I lose to you."

As Wu Huiliyang stared at him with great seriousness, Katahara Metō felt a little defeated. After scratching his graying hair, he said, "First of all, I don't intend to join the Black Organization. Or rather, I don't have the opportunity."

"After all, the Bugs have been giving us intelligence and planning to cooperate with us. Now they are definitely keeping a close eye on us. If we don't want to be 'nuclear bombed', we have no choice but to be the enemy of the Black Organization."

As he spoke, Katahara Metō jokingly said, "Otherwise, I might really want to try what it's like to restore my young and healthy body."

"The second is."

After the joke, Katahara Metō pressed the remote control again, and this time the screen in front of them showed a map.

Wu Huiliyang took a look and found that it was a map of the area near Tottori Prefecture, and the place specially marked by Mietang on it was:

"[Twilight Annex]."

Katahara Metō said in a deep, chanting tone, "This is still the key location. It's where Karasuma Renya went into the dark and the Black Organization was born."

"That place seems to be the property of a detective now?" Wu Huiliyang glanced at the location and the panoramic view of the Dusk Villa that popped up on the screen.

"It seems you've also investigated this annex based on what I said in the arena."

Katara Metō smiled cheerfully, "I've also confirmed that there's absolutely no trace of the Black Organization or Mushi behind this detective or the real estate company that listed the villa."

"This either means this place is no longer important, or it's because..."

Katahara Metō pondered, tapping his cane. "Neither of these two major organizations dares, or rather, is willing, to touch this place! That's why they let an insignificant person take over this villa. Of course, no matter what, I've already sent people to keep an eye on this villa, and they'll report any problems to me."

"As for whether it's useful or not...we'll talk about it later."

"Finally, the times have truly changed. Whether it's the Insect Organization's power called Nose Qi, or the bullet-bending power that the young man from the Black Organization demonstrated in the surveillance footage, we must find a way to acquire powers beyond common sense."

"I believe in my subordinate [Ya], as long as he can obtain those special powers, he will definitely not be weaker than these people!"

At this point, Katahara Mitsudo suddenly looked at his old friend beside him with a teasing look, "Come to think of it, your Wu clan is really lucky. Your granddaughter seems to have a good relationship with that young man named Xia Yan, who also possesses Mind Energy. How are they doing now? Are you planning on having children?"

Although Xia Yan appeared in a full-body armored formation, he had defeated Meng Hu and Wu Lei'an before the match.

It was so high-profile that most of the high-end companies that were present in the VIP room at the time and had enough power to obtain this information could speculate and infer that the true identity of the red-armored man was Xia Yan.

However, Wu Huiliyang did not feel happy at all. Instead, her face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot and she roared:

"roll!"

……

……

"So, how did things turn out for you guys?"

Yuanliu Island, a rocky area on the seashore.

Xia Yan and Hikigaya were wearing sun hats at this time. One of them casually propped up one leg, while the other sat cross-legged. Both of them held a fishing rod in their hands, looking like amateur fishermen.

At this time, Hikigaya was holding the fishing rod in both hands, his eyes wandering towards Xia Yan beside him, and asked with a little curiosity.

In response, Xia Yan said quite happily: "Are you looking for trouble?"

He could say that he had been chasing Xia Yan and the other two, and even opened Wu Jia's Yu He, just to fly and catch Xia Yan as soon as possible, to see if he could torture some information out of this riddle-maker.

As a result, after seeing Shen Wulong waving at him from afar, he had to stop chasing in shame, and ended up with nothing?

——It was rare for him to be so cowardly, so of course he wanted to bully Uchihikigaya who had run into the gun.

"Oh~, it seems you've suffered a lot before."

They were quite familiar with each other, so Hikigaya didn't pay much attention to Xia Yan, who was exuding a little resentment. After saying something jokingly, he also checked the prompts on his panel.

[Special present-day mission: Death's Challenge, the mission is officially over! ]

Your ranking in the Kengan Fatal Tournament is: Top 16 (interrupted)

The total number of players/strengths you defeated in the Kengan Fatal Tournament is: 32 top 1 player, 16 top 1 player

Your final strength ranking level is: Top 16]

[Based on the above results, you obtained: Kaigan Style (Blue) +2, Parasyte Enhancement Quota (Blue) +3, Destiny Coin (Blue) x5...]

[Note: Weakling! You can't even grasp the opportunities that are handed to you - by Death Tower·Death God Dreyfus is very disappointed in you!]

"Come to think of it, Senior Brother Wang Ma and my Master Kuroki seem to have both received the invitation from the God of Death."

Hikigaya didn't care at all about the taunting comment from a certain Shinigami. The cricket's ridicule was not as great as the blow brought by his fishing air force!

Hikigaya immediately swung another shot, holding his chin in his hand with boredom, and chatted with Xia Yan: "Who knows what kind of opponents their Death Tower will face? And how much improvement will it get?"

"Well, who knows."

Xia Yan also echoed boredly. After this mission, or more accurately, after the subsequent trial in the Tower of Death, Hei Mu and the others' strength will indeed be greatly improved.

In addition, by issuing tasks to let old men like Kuroki fight with fighters to obtain fragments, this operation of developing offline players in an infectious manner has indeed made many fighters with good strength become candidates for reincarnations in his friend position.

At least, Katahara Metō doesn't need to look for any extraordinary powers for his subordinate [Ya], after all, he will soon face a trial.

The harvest is OK, so here's what's next:

"It's almost time for us to go back. I don't know..."

Xia Yan paused, he hadn't finished his words as he wanted to mention "Amuro Toru".

Because he was really concerned about what Xia Yan said, that is, the "second person" that Shen Wulong wanted to see this time, Xia Yan had tried his best to ask President Katahara for a copy of the surveillance video of the island.

With the tacit understanding between both parties, Xia Yan got what he wanted, and also... unexpectedly learned the information he wanted to know.

Judging from Shen Wulong's movements on the island, Xia Yan had never expected that the "Second Person" he wanted to meet was actually...

Amuro Toru?

……

……

Time, night.

Because of the sensitivity of his identity, Toru Amuro drove a speedboat that Xia Yan had not used before and left Yuanliu Island overnight.

And at this time, he returned to the address of the "company" he represented in the Kengankai: Shuchiin Academy, Student Council Room.

"Young man, or should I call you Bourbon?"

In the dimly lit student union room, an elderly man, also very old and with a slight disability in his right foot, wearing a black kimono, walked out from the darkness behind Amuro Toru.

The chairman of Shuchiin Academy is the eldest brother of the Shinomiya family, Shinomiya Huangguang. However, the one who came at this time is Shinomiya Yan'an, the commander-in-chief of the Shinomiya Group and the real ruler and head of the Shinomiya family.

The connection between the Shinomiya family and the Black Organization may be deeper than anyone else expected.
