Carefully prepared meals are served in the restaurant every day. The ingredients come from the greenhouses built in the gathering place, or from supplies obtained through exchange channels.
......
At this moment, in the dim staircase corridor leading to the basement of the Shinomiya Main Building, the only few lights emitted faint light, as if they were fragments of the old days, barely illuminating the way down.
The light sways on the cold gray cement wall, casting mottled shadows and creating a quiet and slightly mysterious atmosphere.
In this dim environment, a man wearing a classic bowler hat walked slowly down the corridor.
He was thin and upright, and every step he took revealed a calmness and fatigue that were neither hurried nor slow.
The shadow of the top hat just covered his eyes, leaving a hint of depth and unknown, and his tall and thin body lengthened his shadow in the dim light.
The footsteps echoed clearly in the empty and quiet stairwell, accompanying the man to an empty underground space.
This was originally the large underground conference hall of the museum, and adjacent to it is the Shinomiya Family History Exhibition Hall, which contains a large number of photos and exhibits, fully displaying the history of the rise of this giant family.
But now, all of this is shrouded in an atmosphere of mystery and loneliness.
Dim lights sprinkled sporadically from the ceiling, barely illuminating the empty and silent surroundings. Those once glorious exhibits were either covered or moved away, leaving behind empty display cases and silent signboards, as if proof of time standing still.
The air was filled with a faint smell of dust, intertwined with the occasional subtle echo of the 乬, and some unknown creeping sounds could be faintly heard in the shadows.
Currently, this underground area has become a restricted area for the entire building, and only a very small number of people have the permission to set foot here.
This includes the tall and thin man wearing a bowler hat.
Shinomiya Qinglong is also Shinomiya Kaguya's second brother.
Compared to the bright lights of the main building above, the atmosphere here is completely different, gloomy and depressing.
Walking to two heavy and ancient wooden doors, Sigong Qinglong slowly stopped and exhaled deeply.
If it wasn't necessary, he didn't want to come here at all, because this was where his younger brother, Sigong Yunying, the current ruler of the Sigong family, was.
This half-brother who once had the same father as him but different mothers has now completely escaped the category of human beings.
After being promoted to the four-star level, the opponent completely transformed and became a terrifying existence beyond imagination.
The bond of blood had naturally been severed during his transformation, and his relationship with the human world had become vague and distant, as if he had stepped into the threshold of another dimension.
But Sigong Qinglong had to come, because at this time he was still the deputy of Sigong Yunying, and because he had accepted the powerful yet restraining power from Yunying.
This power is both a protection and a shackle, constantly reminding him that any thought that goes against Yunying's will will lead to the same tragic fate as their eldest brother Sigong Huangguang.
Thinking of this, he reached out and slowly pushed open the wooden door in front of him. Accompanied by the creaking sound of the hinges that had not been maintained for a long time, Sigong Qinglong stepped into the door.
Compared to outside the door, which was dim but at least had some light, behind the door was completely dark, as if even the air had become heavy and solidified.
It was like a dark abyss. In such an environment, normal vision was almost useless, the senses were deprived, and everything became vague and uncertain except for the most instinctive feelings.
Directly opposite, you can vaguely see a human figure, like a ghost floating in the darkness, without details, without color, just the outline of the contour, which makes others feel uneasy.
As Sigong Qinglong slowly walked into the door, his movements were extremely cautious and respectful. He bent down almost reflexively, lowered his head, and spoke in a respectful voice:
"Commander-in-Chief, you are looking for me."
The darkness all around seemed to have substance, pressing down on every inch of space; even the air became heavy.
In this atmosphere, a hoarse voice sounded and reached Sigong Qinglong's ears:
"Yato is dead, and so is the team he took away, including that idiot Ogino Hikaru."
If you listen carefully, you will find that this sound is not a simple one, but two voices interwoven together, creating a sense of overlap like an echo.
"Did Ogino Hikaru die too? His ability should be very difficult to kill if he used it to save his life. Even if it was a supernatural monster, he should be able to escape under normal circumstances."
When Sigong Qinglong heard what the other party said, he was slightly surprised at first, and then began to analyze calmly:
"From this point of view, it is very likely that we encountered Kaguya. Although we still don't know how she killed so many members of the guards silently, if it was a method similar to a curse, then Ogino Hikaru is indeed not immune to it like normal attacks."
180 The Situation of the Gathering Area
The Shinomiya family still has no idea how they managed to kill most of the combat members silently on the day that Kaguya Shinomiya escaped.
After all, Kaguya Shinomiya doesn't have the same problem as those big villains who like to explain their abilities in detail to their enemies.
But no matter what, it is an indisputable fact that Kaguya Shinomiya almost brought unbearable damage to the Shinomiya family.
You know, among those members who died suddenly at that time, many were private armed forces that the Shinomiya family had specially trained. The sudden death of most of them had a great impact on people's hearts.
If Sigong Yunying had not successfully broken through to the four-star level and developed enhancement methods for ordinary people, the Sigong family might have been completely suppressed by other forces in the gathering place, and would not be as prosperous as it is now.
But even if the family's power increases, things that should not be found out will still not be found out.
After all, the effect of soul sharing is difficult to imagine no matter how hard you try.
So in the end, the Shinomiya family could only come to the conclusion that Kaguya Shinomiya had made some kind of long-term preparations and secretly used some kind of curse-like means against the Shinomiya family's combat troops, and finally achieved this result.
In addition, the sudden outburst of powerful combat ability by Kaguya Shinomiya also made people feel frightened and uneasy.
Until now, the scene of Shinomiya Kaguya holding a longbow condensed with azure light and killing everyone, and fighting with Shinomiya Yunying, is still deeply remembered by Shinomiya Qinglong.
Therefore, the members of the Shinomiya family are eager to find her, because they are afraid of the potential shown by Shinomiya Kaguya from the bottom of their hearts.
Even under the conditions of imprisonment and suppression, he was able to quietly train his strength to this level. Once he recovers from his injuries and begins to grow rapidly, to what extent will he be able to achieve?
This potential is what scares the Shinomiya family. After all, no matter how Kaguya was treated before or after the apocalypse, it gave her ample reason to retaliate and purge the rest of the Shinomiya family.
Sigong Yunying might not be afraid because of his strong strength, but others are very afraid.
This naturally included Sigong Qinglong, so he quickly put forward his own suggestions:
“I remember that Yado and the others carried locating devices before they left. It shouldn’t be difficult to find out where they last disappeared. I think we can let Julius take enough people to go…”
"No need, he is just a defeated fugitive. We don't know where his bloodline came from. It would be better if he just left completely and never appeared again."
A hoarse voice interrupted Sigong Qinglong's proposal, which made him secretly groan in his heart.
However, due to the fear and uneasiness in his heart, Sigong Qinglong still spoke up:
"Captain, I know that you raised Kaguya since she was a child, so there must be some affection between you and her, but she obviously broke off relations with the Shinomiya family that day. If this danger is not eliminated as soon as possible..."
"I said you don't need to care, do you understand?"
Sigong Yunying's voice sounded again, but this time it carried a very obvious sense of oppression:
"Or, in your heart, your fear of her has surpassed your trust in my ability?"
The air seemed to freeze at this moment, and Sigong Yunying's words were like sharp ice blades in the cold wind, piercing through Sigong Qinglong's mind.
The hoarse voice began to become agitated, and the pressure contained in it made the surrounding atmosphere suddenly become heavy.
"I dare not, I have overstepped my authority, please forgive me, Commander!"
Almost as an instinctive reaction, Sigong Qinglong quickly knelt down on one leg.
His posture was extremely humble, with his head lowered almost touching the ground, showing absolute obedience and remorse.
Sweat slid down his forehead and dripped onto the ground. The subtle sound was particularly clear in this tense atmosphere. His body was trembling slightly, and it was not difficult to see his inner fear and tension.
After a few seconds of silence, Sigong Yunying's slightly calmer voice sounded again:
"Compared to Shinomiya Kaguya, you should be more concerned about that old guy Katanamoto Metō. Although the group of guys headed by the Fujiwara family and the Metropolitan Police Department are not very close to him, that is just a superficial attitude shown to the Shinomiya family. You should know this better than me."
As mentioned before, Tokyo's No. 1 gathering place is a large official gathering place formed by many forces.
Among them, the Sigong family is powerful, but it is not the only one that dominates.
Among the many forces, the Fujiwara family, a top political family, led the officials who failed to escape from Tokyo in time and became the nominal official force. Together with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, it established initial credibility.
In addition to them, there is another force in the gathering place.
That is the Kengankai, or rather, the last president of the Kengankai before its doom, Katagen Mitsudo.
As the president of the martial arts organization "Kengankai", and a president who has been in office for more than 50 years, Katagami Mitsudo's madness and fighting spirit are more like a warrior than a businessman.
At the same time, the reason why he was able to serve as the president of Kengankai for such a long time was also because he had an extremely large number of private soldiers called "Guardians" under his command.
In terms of fighting and bravery, the combat capability of the "Guards" is far stronger than the private bodyguards recruited by the Shinomiya family.
Moreover, there is a mysterious savior under Katara Metō who possesses werewolf blood and has infected and transformed the entire team of guardians into werewolves.
This makes them extremely terrifying both in terms of individual combat capability and cluster numbers.
It can be said that before Sigong Yunying entered the four-star level, the three forces were actually quite balanced.
And now, as he gradually shows a strong attitude, it is obvious that the political forces headed by the Fujiwara family have changed their attitude.
After hearing Sigong Yunying mention the situation of the internal forces of the gathering place, Sigong Qinglong immediately nodded and said:
"I understand that the politicians in their bones cannot be changed. It is their nature to sway left and right and place bets at any time."
But then he asked with some doubt:
"But the group of wild dogs under Katanamoto Mietang are afraid of the obvious weakness of silver. Now we have the means to create our own warriors. What can they use to fight against us?"
"Amano recruited an insider among his subordinates and got the latest information. That old man is not an ordinary person at all. He is also a savior."
"What? That old guy from Pianyuanmietang is also a savior?" Sigong Qinglong was shocked:
"Could it be that he is actually the guy with werewolf blood? That's why his guards listen to him so much!"
"No, the other party doesn't know his specific abilities, but he has helped the werewolf eliminate the weakness of being easily killed by silver weapons. This makes things more difficult."
Sigong Yunying paused for a moment before continuing:
"So you should understand that compared to Kaguya, it is most important to deal with the old dog Katahara first, subdue his forces, unify the gathering places, and then gradually recover the entire Tokyo... This is what you need to focus on, understand?"
"I understand. I will prepare the relevant matters next."
"Well, you can go now."
"Yes."
Sigong Qinglong hunched his body and walked out of the door, closing it again. He only raised his head for the last time before the door was closed.
Then he looked behind the door and saw the scene he had seen many times, but it still made him terrified.
181 We are just discussing work (serious face)
In the deep and secret room, light seemed to be completely forgotten, and darkness was like the thickest night, swallowing up everything visible.
There was a depressing and eerie atmosphere in the air, as if every breath could inhale a heavy dose of unknown and fear.
Every corner of the room, no, every inch of space, is occupied by a strange existence - gray-black tentacles of living beings.
Like the tangled roots of an ancient forest or the indescribable limbs of a deep-sea monster, they are densely packed and intertwined, forming a complex and terrifying network.
The surface of these tentacles seemed to be covered with fine mucus, which reflected a faint dark light in the occasional flash of light from the outside, adding a bit of creepiness.
Hanging from the ceiling, spreading along the walls, and covering the floor, all of them are the territory of these tentacles. They grow wildly and entangle with each other, constructing a three-dimensional, constantly wriggling maze.
In this distorted landscape, all straight lines and rules lose their meaning, leaving only the most primitive and brutal display of power in nature.
Finally, all the tentacles seemed to follow some unspeakable order and converged towards the center of the room. There was a focal point that was difficult to look at directly.
A living throne made of countless tentacles entangled together.
The throne kept twisting and undulating, as if it had its own life and will, and each movement was accompanied by a low hum.
Right on this living throne, a figure was looming, tightly wrapped in thick shadows, making it impossible to distinguish its true form.
However, when someone tried to penetrate this darkness, two blinding white lights suddenly flashed by.
Those were a pair of ferocious pure white eyes, revealing a ferocity and coldness that could not be ignored, as if they could bring a shudder deep into the soul. And below these terrifying eyes, a big mouth full of sharp teeth was vaguely visible.
Then...wait...
Lin Moze woke up.
He slowly opened his eyes, sat up from the comfortable bed, and stretched a little.
Although his current state of life made daily sleep no longer a necessary rest, he still felt comfortable and satisfied.
This is a specific feedback brought about by human physiological structure, and it is also a necessary enjoyment for him to maintain his human identity.
The room is gently embraced by the faint dawn light. The light shines through the spacious floor-to-ceiling windows and sprinkles on the soft carpet, forming mottled light and shadows, as if nature's brush gently outlines the beginning of the day.
The only difference is that this is not Lin Moze’s room, but Kato Megumi’s room.
Turning my eyes to the person beside me, I saw the girl still immersed in a sweet dream. Her breathing was even and gentle, and her face looked particularly pure and flawless in the morning light.
The golden sunlight quietly climbed up the tips of her hair, casting a layer of warm glow on the sleeping beauty.
Lin Moze moved gently as if he was treating a fragile work of art. He carefully pulled up the corner of the quilt that had slipped down and gently pulled it upwards.
As for last night, he was naturally exhausted. As the leader of the gathering place, he had an in-depth work discussion and processing with his assistant and the head of the Anbu Department. The whole process was serious and formal. (Serious face)
