Chapter 168 Is it wrong for me to want to live?
Hell's Kitchen, a scrapyard somewhere
It looks like this from the outside, but in fact, this is Mrs. Gao's drug manufacturing factory and where she lives on weekdays. Inside the factory, there is an antique courtyard. This is her residence and only she and her servants can get close to here.
After returning from the United Company, she sat here drinking tea, but her unsteady breathing proved that she was not in a good mood at the moment.
My thoughts can't help but go back to many years ago.
Ever since she could remember, she had been a little beggar. She grew up in a beggar's den and was forced to beg for food by the Beggars' Gang. Originally, her fate was similar to that of others. She would have to be dismembered when she reached a certain age. Fortunately, she was saved by her master.
Because of her talent, she was taught Tai Chi.
Then, she followed her master and became a member of the resistance against Qianting.
Just, as time goes by.
The Qian court still stands.
The people around her died one after another. To be honest, from the beginning, she didn't care. She just wanted to live and live a better life.
Then, her master died.
She was the only one left in this world.
At that time, she was thinking, what is all this for? Is it for those people who look like weeds? Or for something else? She doesn't understand, and she doesn't want to understand. She just wants to live comfortably. She only believes in one sentence: If a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.
One day, someone from the Qian court found her, promised her wealth and glory, and asked her to infiltrate an organization that was famous for resisting the Qian court at that time.
She agreed.
But the prerequisite is that she has to get the benefits first.
So, she took the benefits and decisively betrayed those people. When they launched a fatal charge towards Qian Ting, she escaped quietly. Yes, she didn't trust Qian Ting either, and it was normal to kill the donkey after it had done its job.
With the help of the benefits she got from the Qian court, she escaped from Daqian as she wished and came to a strange country that she longed for in every way. She thought everything was over. After all, Daqian's hand would never reach the Western world.
Later, by chance, she met the Hand and joined it.
Then, she made the first wrong decision in her life.
She actually agreed to teach some of her Tai Chi.
Maybe it was because she had been comfortable for too long, or maybe she thought that no one would come to her again.
Originally, even if someone discovered her, she would not care too much, but the problem was that a reincarnation space suddenly appeared in this world, which disrupted everything at once. After all, she had personally experienced the power of the reincarnation space.
So, this matter cannot be delayed.
"Master, Lord Xin is coming down."
"Let him in"
"Madam, you specifically signaled me to come here. Do you have any instructions?"
"Help me apply for a secret medicine from the organization, and the reward will be deducted from my dividend this year."
Madam Gao, Shin, Kingpin, the 'old white man' Leland Osley, and the Vladimir brothers, they were originally together, coming from five different forces, and formed an alliance based on interests.
But in fact, Mrs. Gao and Xin are both from the Hand. As an organization headquartered in Japan, the reason why they want to take root in Hell's Kitchen is to find something here. All other plans they have made are just for this thing, that is, the raw materials of the secret medicine just mentioned.
"Are you still worried about this? He is just one person."
Xin couldn't help but feel a little curious. Indeed, things like blocking bullets with the body are very eye-catching, but the human body has its limits after all. If the Daqian Kingdom was really that powerful, it would not have been blocked by the Western world until now. The whole country seemed to be still in the feudal era.
"It's just the caution of an elderly person."
Madam Gao shrugged. Hydra had given her the footage of the incident earlier. The reason why her five subordinates were destroyed was because of this young man. At that time, this young man was not as powerful as yesterday. A high explosive could still injure him. It was only a few days ago.
"If there were no samsara space, I wouldn't have to be so cautious. But, Xin, you have to admit that the emergence of this thing has fundamentally changed the pattern of this world. Now, it just lacks time to ferment. As time passes and the strength of the extraordinary people continues to increase, one day, all the order we see now will collapse and be replaced by a new order."
"Of course, what I'm talking about is something that will happen a long time in the future. But for a teenage master of Qi and Blood Martial Arts, simple talent alone cannot explain it. He at least relied on the reincarnation space to obtain natural treasures. So, in the end, if there is nothing I can do, I will choose to die. At that time, I will trouble you to revive me with the secret medicine."
"can."
The Japanese man nodded, but there was a hint of regret in his expression when he looked at Mrs. Gao.
The woman in front of him was once a powerful figure in the Great Qian Dynasty. Many male masters of Qi and Blood Tai Chi were ashamed of themselves. This was why the Shuhe Society chose to contact and take her in after she defected from the Qian Dynasty.
It's a pity that with the passage of time, in just over a decade, she has become like this.
Of course, she just lacked the momentum. Anyone who underestimated this woman would suffer. It was just like their previous reincarnation, which was a medieval Earth with werewolves and vampires. Their task was to stand on the side of the werewolves, and werewolves were at a disadvantage against vampires, so this woman designed a plan to spread wolf poison through drinking water in cities around vampires. In an instant, a large number of people were infected and turned into werewolves.
They caused a huge chaos, and finally, they took advantage of the chaos to take advantage of it, not only came back alive, but also received a generous reward.
There is no doubt that this is a woman who can do anything to survive, that's all -
Naruto World
Li Zhongren looked at the design drawing in his hand, which was given to him by Li Meiman, hoping that he could help him create a weapon.
The structure of the weapon is not complicated. It is a bracelet with a hollow bearing inside. It can absorb steel wire that is as thin as a hair but extremely tough. The bearing is driven by Li Meiman's blood and energy, which can make the steel wire automatically retract.
What makes it complicated is the material used to make it. In the words of Li Meiman, because of the blessing of Master Ancient One and the use of Li Hai's fruit to make a wish, his own strength has made a triple jump. The bracelet his grandfather left him can no longer keep up with his maximum strength.
Therefore, he needed a brand new bracelet, and he hoped that this bracelet would have the ability to provide energy through itself to reinforce or repair it. Although this would consume a lot of strength, the advantage was that he no longer needed to change weapons. He planned to merge his grandfather's bracelet with this new bracelet.
Of course, such professional matters were not his responsibility. After all, he was just a cheater.
In fact, he was planning to find Ye Cang, or more precisely, to find Xie.
That kid is a true genius when it comes to making these things.
However, his identity is somewhat sensitive. After all, although that series of titles sounds embarrassing, they are really intimidating.
Fortunately, he recently had an excuse to come to the Sand Village, otherwise he would have had to sneak in secretly.
That is, after the Kumogakure incident ended, Minato became the fifth Raikage. He officially announced the establishment of diplomatic relations with Konoha and signed a peace treaty. The Second Ninja World War came to an end. Then, the five major countries discussed resuming the Chunin Exam.
This is an event where people can establish mutual communication and demonstrate their own strength.
The location of this Chunin Exam is in the Sand Village, and the old man Sarutobi Hiruzen sent him to participate in the discussion of the details of the Chunin Exam.
"dong dong dong"
At the entrance of Ye Cang's residence, Li Zhongren knocked on the door confidently.
A moment later, the servant inside opened the door, saw Li Zhongren, hurried to report, and then quickly led him in.
"Hello, Steam Princess. Sorry for disturbing you."
"I wonder if Lord Kotoriyu has anything to do with you coming here at this time?"
At this moment, Ye Cang was wearing a loose robe, exposing his shoulders, and holding a glass of sake in his hand. He was sitting in his own pavilion drinking the wine. When he saw Li Zhongren coming, he slowly raised his head, looked Li Zhongren up and down with a slightly drunken look, and then spoke.
"There are some things that I would like to ask Lord Ye Cang for help. Um... to be more precise, I would like to ask your village's talented puppeteer, Xie, to help me make a piece of equipment. I will pay an equal reward."
"Yunzi, go call Scorpion over."
"Yes, Master."
At the side, the maid bowed slightly, then disappeared in a flash. Obviously, the woman who was responsible for serving Ye Cang was also a ninja. "This weapon."
After the maid left, Ye Cang took the design drawing from Li Zhongren's hand, looked around, and then put it on the table.
"What's the use? It looks like some kind of assassination weapon. It might be useful against ordinary people, but it doesn't seem to be very effective against ninjas. And, it seems... it's not something you're going to use."
"No, when I was traveling, I met a friend of mine who shared the same interests with me. He asked me to make it for him."
"Bracelet. Male or female?"
"., male."
"It's better to be a man, and don't do anything to let Kushina down."
"Hey, do I look like that?"
"Ah"
Ye Cang smiled and stopped talking, but continued to drink sake, one glass after another.
"Minister Ye Cang, you are looking for me."
A moment later, Scorpion arrived at Ye Cang's house, exhausted, his body covered in oil and mud. It was obvious that he was busy doing something in the workshop.
Li Zhongren took a look at Scorpion. The Scorpion in front of him was completely different from the gloomy temperament in the original work. He actually gave him a feeling of Hayao Miyazaki.
It's the style of Hayao Miyazaki.
The whole person actually has a sunny, positive, and slightly steampunk feel.
It reminded him of the protagonist in Castle in the Sky.
"Meet Mr. Kotoriyu."
Seeing Mitsuha Takanashi, Sasori hurriedly saluted. After all, she was one of the most prestigious ninjas in the entire ninja world.
“Can you do this?”
Ye Cang handed the design to Scorpion, who looked at it and nodded.
"Yes, it's not difficult."
"Thank you very much."
Li Zhongren nodded slightly at Scorpion.
"As for the reward, how much is it?"
"No, no, no, it's my honor to be able to make weapons for Lord Kotori."
"Then I owe you a favor. If you need me in the future, as long as it does not violate the will of the Tao or the laws of any country, just ask."
"No, no, it's not."
"Then I would like to thank Mr. Kotori Yu on behalf of Scorpion. Scorpion, please go down first. I have something to discuss with Mr. Kotori Yu."
"Yes"
"Is there anything else?"
"Why, it's okay, can't I let you stay here for a while?"
"cough"
"It's about Chiyo's son, Tianqi."
"What's up with him?"
"My intelligence shows that he secretly met with Taki-nin Rebel-nin Angle a few days ago."
"There's nothing strange about this."
"Then, on that day, he had a big fight with Shenyin. I don't know what the fight was about, but he slapped Shenyin in the face. This is what Scorpion told me."
"Huh? No, is he sick?"
"In the past two years since I disappeared, I often call out He Huo Bei Dao's name in my dreams."
"Ah this."
"This is what Scorpion said himself. He said that his mother must have fallen into some kind of nightmare, a feeling of fear or resistance. However, his father did not think so. For this reason, the couple has not slept together for more than two years."
“Love potion from the Harry Potter world.”
Li Zhongren could only think of this. The effect of that thing didn't last long, but it seemed that due to various problems, it left some psychological trauma on Shenyin.
"So, think about it, what kind of information could he get from Kakuzu to make Tenhaki so furious that he would quarrel with Kamikakushi?"
"Information related to the Hehuo Shell Knife?"
"Yes."
"You know, the person who took the photos was Kakuzu. He had close contact with your wooden clone and had fought with you outside the Nevernight Town. Maybe he would have noticed something. Of course, even if he did, he has no evidence. No one would believe a traitor who wanted to slander the leader of the Senju clan, one of the five great nations. However, Tenki must be an exception."
"So, you think he's going to attack me?"
"I don't know. I just know that after being in contact with Scorpion for such a long time, I can be sure of one thing. The Chiyo family has flaws in their character. In short, you should be careful."
"Hey, thanks for your concern, Sister Ye Cang."
"roll"
