In intelligence organizations, messengers usually use code words or special movements to transmit useful information. This is not an innate talent of humans, but it is definitely a skill that anyone can master through learning.
Lu Mingfei and Luo Ye were both excellent fighters. Those who could be called excellent on the dragon-slaying battlefield were all-round players. In a novel, they would be at least contemporary warrior kings. Lu Mingfei believed that the other party would not make such a meaningless move at such a time and in such an occasion for no reason, so it must have some special meaning.
But they had never cooperated before, and the only contact they had was a battle in the rain, so Lu Mingfei couldn't understand what Luo Ye wanted to say.
"It was Tachibana Masamune who brought you back to the family. You must know him, right?" Lu Mingfei said. His mind is very active now. People can't always be useless and expect others to solve problems when they encounter problems. If they can't understand, they should continue to seek answers to the problems in other ways.
There would always be a chance for them to be alone together, once she left the building.
"Yeah." Luo Ye looked at Lu Mingfei deeply. Her eyelashes were very long, neat and curved, leaving beautiful shadows on her eyelids. At this moment, in the suddenly dark sky, the lights in the ward had not been adjusted yet, and she actually looked a little weak.
Perhaps this is not a disguise, but what the real Miyamoto Ryoha should look like.
"When Mr. Zhengzong brought Xiaoyou and me back to the family, we were still very young. Although he was the head of the family at that time, his prestige was far less than it is now. He even led the executive department and often had to travel outside."
"Is Yuan Zhisheng with him?" Lu Mingfei suddenly asked.
"No, the current head of the Minamoto family was just a teenager at that time, and I heard that he was raised in the mountains." Luoye recalled, "Almost all members of the Kanto branch have similar backgrounds to us, and have received the kindness of Mr. Masamune."
“You mean, so many A-level half-bloods in the Kanto branch evaded their family’s bloodline tests when they were young and had a miserable childhood?” Lu Mingfei narrowed his eyes, and he lit a cigarette for himself again. The bluish-white smoke rose like a line.
Smoking, drinking and making noises are usually not allowed in the medical department, but there are always privileges in this world. Lu Mingfei undoubtedly enjoys a great degree of privilege in Genji Heavy Industries.
The information of the Kanto branch was placed in Lu Mingfei's personal mailbox from two directions, one from Kaguya and the other from Norma.
The bloodline of the Japanese hybrids is the White King, and although their bloodline is generally superior to that of the European hybrids, not all of them are Super Saiyans like the Emperor. The rare A-level hybrids in Kassel Academy account for a much larger proportion here, although they may be weaker.
However, it is an indisputable fact that all the team leaders that make up the Kanto branch are A-rank.
This kind of bloodline would be valued and cultivated from an early age even among the Eight Families of Sheqi. It is hard to imagine that they would miss out on this outstanding fresh blood.
Luo Ye didn't say anything, apparently accepting this fact. However, Lu Mingfei had other ideas.
There are no such coincidences in the world. Everything that the members of the Kanto branch encountered in their childhood seemed to be going in a direction that was favorable to Masamune Tachibana. Except when playing cards, Lu Mingfei never believed in coincidences. He preferred to believe that this was all the work of Herzog. The evil ghost-like dormant villain wanted to cultivate his own power in Japan, and the children who had not yet grown up were undoubtedly the most suitable choice.
"Okay, then I don't have anything else to ask. I wish you a speedy recovery." Lu Mingfei actually had a lot more he wanted to know from this woman, but her situation was not good. She was probably under surveillance, so there might be a better opportunity for communication.
He stood up, walked towards the door, and his figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.
"Lu Jun!"
Luo Ye suddenly called her.
Lu Mingfei stood at the door with his hands in his pockets and tilted his head slightly.
"My sister is not a slutty person. If one day you want to get to know her better, you can ask Xiaoyou to go to that place without heaven and earth. She will be very happy." Luoye's voice was light and inexplicably contained a sense of relief.
Lu Mingfei's pupils suddenly contracted. He said nothing, just turned around and left.
Chapter 184 Auntie Diao Chan
"Is the matter settled?" The VIP elevator went directly down to the lobby on the first floor. Lu Mingfei stepped out of the elevator door and immediately heard Chu Zihang's voice beside him. The killer leaned against the wall with his arms folded, looking at him expressionlessly.
"Yeah." Lu Mingfei nodded.
At present, except for the floor where the Eight Snakes used to place the Kaguya console and the strategic department, the other floors of Genji Heavy Industries were basically unobstructed and undefended for Lu Mingfei. After visiting Miyamoto Ryoha, he found Yabuki Sakura and went to see Eri with her. They played two games and talked in private, so it took some time.
Before leaving, Lu Mingfei repeatedly promised that he would pick up Eri to go out and play this weekend, and only then did the girl let him go.
Caesar squeezed through the crowd and came in front of them. He glanced at Chu Zihang and then at Lu Mingfei: "Did you get any useful clues?"
Lu Mingfei was not the only one who was suspicious of the provocative behavior of the Sheqi Eight Clan Kanto Branch against Yuan Zhisheng and Chu Zihang's group that night. The people in that car were at least A-level hybrids. They had received the best education, understood people's hearts, and were familiar with politics. When they encountered such a thing, the first question they thought about was obviously whether there was another hidden reason, and then they would think about what the Kanto Branch's purpose was.
So when Lu Mingfei proposed to meet alone with Miyamoto Luoye, who was still receiving treatment at the Sheqi Eight Families' Medical Department, neither Chu Zihang, Caesar, nor the heads of the Sheqi Eight Families had much objection.
"There are absolutely no clues. The power structure of the Kanto branch is a typical pyramid structure. Although Miyamoto Luoye and Miyamoto Xiaoyou can be regarded as the top few layers in this pyramid, they are still far from being able to get in touch with core affairs." Lu Mingfei shook his head regretfully, "But I went to see Eri, she is in good condition, and she should be allowed to go out again soon."
Caesar whistled.
"I didn't expect that your relationship with the head of the Uesugi family would develop so quickly. Now you can call each other by name." He said with a low voice and laughed.
Chu Zihang gave them a cold look.
Caesar shrugged. Although Chu Zihang was the leader of this study group in name, his control over the members was actually very poor. It could even be said that there was no superior-subordinate relationship at all. Both Caesar and Lu Mingfei had a high degree of autonomy in all their actions in Japan.
In a sense, if they wanted to, they could even start a war between the Secret Party and the Eight Clans of Sheqi with their own strength.
Needless to say, Caesar was backed by the entire Gattuso family, the most prominent family in the secret party. Even if they were to face the Eight Snakes alone, they would not be much weaker. Moreover, there were many bigwigs in the school board who were staunch supporters of the Gattuso family. If Caesar, as the established successor, encountered some unfair treatment or persecution in Japan, the secret party would probably really bring an army to punish him.
After all, the Eight Snake Clan had already shown their desire for independence many years ago, and under the leadership of Tachibana Masamune, this powerful family had long been unwilling to be controlled by the secret party. All those who hold high positions in the Japanese and European mixed-race societies know that war is imminent, and the current calm is only the last peace before the storm.
If something went wrong with Caesar in Japan, the Gattuso family would definitely not mind starting the war in advance.
As for Lu Mingfei, he has Ange and the Elders behind him. Moreover, he himself can be called an army. He can even reproduce Ange's former feats in Japan through infiltration, assassination and subversion.
"If you still want to go out with the head of the Uesugi family, then I suggest you go to Hokkaido. The beaches there are clean and the sunshine is warm." Chu Zihang said expressionlessly.
He is a very decisive person. Since he agrees with what Caesar said last time, he will naturally not ask too much about Lu Mingfei's affairs.
Lu Mingfei hesitated for a moment and nodded: "I have finished the work at Genji Heavy Industries. Do we have any plans for the evening?"
"The academy has a base in Edogawa, which is also our safe haven. This safe haven has been exposed now, but it still retains its function as a base." Chu Zihang said, "According to the academy's mission manual, we need to go to any academy base within the specified time period to report on our progress while carrying out our mission."
Lu Mingfei knew this rule in the mission manual, but in the previous time and space when he served as the president of the Student Union and worked for the executive department, he rarely implemented this part of the requirements in the mission.
Because at that time his tasks were mostly immediate and usually did not last long.
"Then let's go to Edogawa now?" Lu Mingfei looked at Chu Zihang and then at Caesar.
"I heard that the nightclub in Edogawa is very famous. After reporting the progress of the mission, we can go there and have some fun." Caesar was quite looking forward to it.
Lu Mingfei nudged him with his shoulder, with a smile on his face that all men understand.
Chu Zihang said: "But as far as I know, the nightclubs in Edogawa are not high-end places. There are many traditional Japanese girls with buck teeth and bow legs hanging out there."
"I have to say you're such a bummer." Caesar raised his eyebrows, then smiled, "But it doesn't matter. A bow-legged, buck-toothed girl doesn't have to be extremely charming. Maybe we can meet our own springtime there."
"Come on, senior brother, I don't want my spring to be like the bow-legged Yamato Nadeshiko." Lu Mingfei said.
-----------------
As Lu Mingfei expected, the college’s safe haven was still an Internet cafe, but it was not Mambo, but another one called “Yi Wang”.
Compared to the slightly pornographic Internet cafe that Lu Mingfei had accidentally visited a long time ago, the academy’s base seemed unremarkable.
Guarding the door was a plump, energetic middle-aged woman, speaking Japanese with a Kagoshima accent and scolding the waiter who had just made a mistake.
When Lu Mingfei pushed the door, he thought he had come to the wrong place. He originally thought that the person in charge of the academy should be a burly man who had experienced many battles. After retiring from the executive department, he lived in seclusion in a corner of the city. He was well-dressed and refined, but he often hid a loaded shotgun under his desk.
Taking a step back, it should be the specialists from the executive department who take turns on duty. They wear a black windbreaker on the outside, a suit and lining on the inside, with the Kassel school badge on their chest, a pair of sunglasses, and always carry a weapons box provided by the Kassel College Equipment Department in their hands.
It was definitely not an ordinary, even unremarkable old lady guarding the door. If this was a disguise of an ace specialist, Lu Mingfei could only say, "Senior, please stop using your magic. This is more than just a disguise. You have completely integrated into the role, okay?"
When Chu Zihang's team pushed the door open, the old lady didn't even raise her eyes. She was still scolding the waiter who was about to cry. The broom in the boy's hand was shaking as if it couldn't hold up and was about to break.
Caesar looked at Chu Zihang, and Chu Zihang understood what he meant. He took something out of his arms and shook it in front of the old lady. The old lady immediately became serious and waved away the waiter who looked cowardly.
"What is the cafeteria chef's favorite dish?" The old lady's eyes were murderous, and she put her hands on her waist and leaned sideways as if alert. Lu Mingfei looked at the part that was like a bucket in confusion, and he doubted whether there was enough space for weapons to be hidden there.
Chu Zihang had already reached for his tennis bag. He took off his sunglasses, and his bright golden eyes flashed. The old lady blinked, and the young man had put his sunglasses back on.
"Pork knuckles, various German-style pork knuckles, braised pork knuckles, roasted pork knuckles, and pork knuckles stewed with sauerkraut." Chu Zihang said coldly.
Lu Mingfei covered his face.
"Correct answer!" The old lady twisted her waist to make way for him. Her round face, which had been tense just now, was now full of smiles.
"I'm the person in charge here, Reiko Kobayakawa. I graduated from the Alchemy and Mechanical Department of Kassel College in 1986. My executive department number is B870349, and my mission codename is Diao Chan. You can call me by my name or my codename."
"Um... B870349, I'm Chu Zihang, this is Caesar Gattuso, and this is Lu Mingfei. I think the academy has already conveyed the specific information of our mission to you. This time we come to the academy's Tokyo station mainly to report on the progress of the mission. It is now 18:59 in the evening, and I need you to clear this place in 31 minutes, expel irrelevant people, and ensure that all communication channels except the academy's dedicated network are closed." Chu Zihang hesitated for a few seconds and called out the executive department number of senior sister Diao Chan. Perhaps he felt that it was impolite to call her Kobayakawa Reiko, and he felt that the name Diao Chan was a bit embarrassing to say.
"Of course I know you all, Mr. Lu, Mr. Gattuso and Mr. Chu! The three legendary young men of Kassel Academy, and now I see for the first time that they are indeed as beautiful as flowers and jade." Aunt Diao Chan held her chin up to her hand and acted like a little girl, her eyes rolling around as if there were little stars twinkling in them.
"Which of us does Miss Lianzi like best?" Caesar asked with a smile.
Aunt Diao Chan looked at Chu Zihang charmingly: "Girls appreciate a man as proud as Chu Jun more."
"I see. Lu Mingfei and I both have sexy photos of Chu Jun in our phones. We can give them to you with the signature later." Caesar patted Lu Mingfei's shoulder vigorously. Chu Zihang's fists were clenched so hard that they made a cracking sound.
"Please take us to the liaison room." Chu Zihang said with a cold face.
"Oh, please follow me!" Aunt Diao Chan led the way with a smile.
Unexpectedly, the environment here was very similar to the black Internet cafes that Lu Mingfei used to frequent in China. When he pushed open the screen between the computer area and the cashier area, a buzzing noise hit him in the face.
Apparently this internet cafe, run by the college and once used as a safe haven, does not prohibit smoking, and the low fluorescent tubes are shrouded in choking smoke.
Probably because the environment was a bit shabby, there wasn't even a single girl in this huge internet cafe, and young people were rare, mostly middle-aged men wearing cheap suits with briefcases aside. But everyone was very quiet, no one was making noise or cursing, everyone was busy with their own things.
When Aunt Diao Chan led Chu Zihang and others through the middle-aged man who was typing away on the keyboard with red eyes and the bald uncle who was lowering his voice and pouring out his heart to the sister opposite him in the chat room, Lu Mingfei felt quite emotional and felt that time is indeed a butcher's knife.
These bald uncles sitting in the hall, who numb themselves with cigarettes and can only occasionally take time out to relax in the Internet cafe, were once young men who dreamed of saving the world and winning the heart of a beautiful woman.
Who can guarantee that the now strong and sturdy senior Reiko Kobayakawa was not a beautiful girl like Diao Chan in 1987?
Anyway, the person in charge of this Internet cafe led them into the private room at the innermost part. Although it was called a private room, its area was actually very limited, a small room of about seven or eight square meters, with tatami on the floor, an oil painting of cornflowers hanging on the wall, and plastic flowers that had already turned silky in a thin-necked porcelain vase. Four computer desks were placed side by side against the wall, and the computers looked very new, probably because they were maintained regularly.
In addition, there was a cabinet in the private room. With the door open, a smell of mothballs wafted out, and bedding and pillows could be seen inside. It seemed that this place was like the most common Internet cafes in Japan, where one could both surf the Internet and sleep.
Many Internet cafes in Japan are single rooms for surfing the Internet, but the space is very small. Some travelers or backpackers choose to sleep in the Internet cafes to save the already limited funds. There are many people who use Internet cafes as capsule hotels, which are very convenient and affordable. Usually, such Internet cafes are equipped with vending machines, instant noodles, drinks, melon seeds, chicken legs, and even various bubble-thin or even thickened condoms.
After entering the box, Aunt Diao Chan greeted them and then tiptoed out. In Japan, disturbing others in any way is a very troublesome thing. Miss Reiko should be a very traditional Japanese at her age, and she cannot change even if she received Western education at Kassel Academy.
After the person in charge left, Caesar and Chu Zihang looked at each other and nodded, then each took out a device for detecting electronic equipment from a different place, held it in their hands and walked slowly along the wall of the room. After checking several times,
Then he walked over and sat down next to Lu Mingfei who was already in the middle of the tatami.
Although the private room was small, it was not to the point where they had to sit next to each other. However, Lu Mingfei did not say anything. It seemed that the two brothers must have something to say.
"Hey, hey, why do you have to hide it from me?" Lu Mingfei shouted in a low voice.
"Do you really think I haven't read the mission manual? Damn it! This is a learning mission, not a combat mission. Why do we need to report the mission progress?"
"Junior brother is really smart." Caesar complimented with a wry smile. Lu Mingfei bowed and said, "Same here."
Chu Zihang cleared his throat and said, "Don't flatter each other about business. We are here for serious business."
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Aunt Diao Chan whispered outside that drinks had been prepared for the guests. Chu Zihang looked at Caesar, Caesar looked at Lu Mingfei, and Lu Mingfei got up reluctantly and opened the door.
"Tea and soda are prepared for the guests. Please enjoy your time." The auntie had no intention of coming in. Lu Mingfei smiled and nodded. He took the tray and was about to go back, but the auntie blocked the door.
"By the way, Mr. Lu, do you and Mr. Gattuso really have sexy photos of Chu Zihang?" Diao Chan acted coy, and she was indeed charming and attractive. Lu Mingfei's eyes twitched and he shook his head: "No, Caesar was joking with you. How could someone like Chu Zihang take sexy photos?"
But for some reason, looking down at this middle-aged lady with considerable weight from this angle, Lu Mingfei actually felt that she looked familiar.
It seems like I have seen him somewhere before, and he seems to be somewhat similar to an old friend.
