"What's wrong?" Lu Mingfei asked her.
He relaxed. It might feel a little strange to think of Erii as a lover or girlfriend, but if he treated her as a naive young woman, that strange feeling disappeared instantly...
Treat Erii the same way you would Panpan, like an older brother taking his younger sister out to play, and all his barriers will disappear instantly.
"That person behind you is a bit strange," Erii said softly.
"The people behind?"
Lu Mingfei turned around and glanced at the man with the furrowed brows.
It can only be said that the man's features are quite striking and he is easily recognizable.
"Are you worried that he might be someone from your family who came looking for you?"
"Uh-huh."
"Relax. There are so many people at Disneyland. Maybe he's just going to the parking lot like us. But we can drive somewhere else and see if he follows us. If he does, then he's probably up to something."
"it is good."
Erika nodded.
Lu Mingfei and she went to the parking lot, got into the ordinary Toyota, and saw the man with the furrowed brows in the rearview mirror hailing a taxi.
Disneyland is located in Chiba Prefecture on the map. After visiting Disneyland, they were supposed to leave Tokyo as planned.
Actually, it's very easy to attract the attention of the Snake Clan.
If you just throw Erii's old shrine maiden outfit and her cut red hair somewhere, the Snake-Headed Eight Family will probably find them very quickly.
Since Erii appeared in Tokyo, they would guess that she had not left Tokyo yet. However, judging from the long hair that had been cut off, Erii had disguised herself to some extent. Naturally, they would gather their forces in Tokyo to search for Erii.
It takes time to gather the manpower, but by evening, Xia Mi and her team can naturally begin their work.
The evacuation route for the people at the Aoyama Charity School has also been arranged, and they can be evacuated from the mainland of the four Japanese islands in an hour.
But looking at the taxi chasing closely in the rearview mirror, Lu Mingfei felt that something unexpected had happened.
Wherever they went, the taxi followed. Even when Lu Mingfei deliberately drove around an intersection, the taxi still came running…
"It seems like there really is a problem."
Lu Mingfei frowned. The other party should not be sure of Erii's identity yet, and he didn't know what made them suspicious.
However, having the power of words makes many things much easier. Lu Mingfei drove the car onto a deserted, desolate mountain road.
Chapter 112 Old Tang
"The Uesugi family head's clothes and hair have appeared!"
"Where are the people?"
"I don't know. It's a blind spot for surveillance cameras. We're searching nearby security cameras and questioning local residents!"
"..."
Erii Uesugi's clothes and hair appeared in a small corner of Tokyo, which was immediately discovered by the Hebi-Hachi family. They brought them back, and after confirming the time period when these things appeared, the Hebi-Hachi family immediately focused their attention on Tokyo.
What they feared most was that the head of the Uesugi family would be on the move. With over 100 million people in Japan and a land area of 378,000 square kilometers, how easy would it be to accurately find a person hiding?
However, if you focus your attention on Tokyo, although its population of tens of millions is still a sea of people, the scope has at least narrowed considerably.
They immediately consolidated their manpower and focused their search efforts on Tokyo.
Genjiro frowned as he looked at Erii's clothes and hair.
Finding Erii's whereabouts at this time and in this way is simply eerie.
Erii's cognition is like a blank sheet of paper, but she is not intellectually deficient. If she had been hiding from her family in Tokyo for so many days and was only starting to make moves now, why would she need to deal with these things so simply?
Logically speaking, burning it should be cleaner; even packing it in a bag would be better than just leaving it in a corner of an alley.
"Dad, I have a feeling this is more like bait? Could it be from the Ghost Clan?"
Tachibana Masamune nodded slightly, but then said, "But at the moment, we have no other clues."
“Alright.” Genji sighed. Although he trusted Erii and believed she would come back, he hadn’t expected this to happen.
“I’m wondering if a third party has intervened. If so, things will become very complicated.” Tachibana Masamune frowned. “The two half-bloods who went to investigate the family shrine have not been found at all.”
Meanwhile, the Kanagawa Prefectural Police are tracking down a group of highly skilled illegal immigrants. They landed at a seaside airport in a large, modified passenger plane and used missiles to force back Self-Defense Force air force aircraft sent to assist them. I suspect this group was behind it.
"Is there still such a thing?"
Yuan Zhisheng was stunned for a moment.
Using a large, modified passenger plane for smuggling, and using missiles to force back Self-Defense Force aircraft, is something that no ordinary force could accomplish.
They don't seem to be here in Japan for anything legitimate. If they are of mixed race... it might really be related to Erii.
"Yes, just eight days ago, only three days after Erii disappeared at Senso-ji Temple."
Masamune Tachibana said, "I'm wondering if Kassel College discovered something unusual and secretly sent people over."
Upon hearing this, Genji took a deep breath. He knew Kassel College very well.
He had just returned from further studies at Kassel College last year, and was extremely familiar with the world's number one international mixed-race organization...
Given the other party's capabilities and work objectives, this possibility is indeed quite high.
Kassel College is backed by the European Secret Party. At the beginning of the last century, Hilbert Jean Angers, a core member of the Secret Party, left his comfort zone and resolutely went to the United States to found Kassel College, globalizing the Secret Party's dragon-slaying ideology and thus developing and expanding it.
Dragonblood has its way of managing everything in the world, from the superpower of the United States to the Secret Society, and by relentlessly fighting against the dragons, they have made a name for themselves in the Dragonblood world.
Although the Snake Clan is under the administration of Kassel College, their actions in recent years have subtly shown signs of resistance.
It's perfectly normal for them to come and give them a warning, to make the Snake-Headed Eight Families realize their place...
However, the Snake Clan cannot withstand scrutiny!
The bloodline issue is one thing, but the return of the Demon Clan has thrown the Japanese mixed-race world into chaos. Getting close to the Demon Clan is like opening the box of secrets of the Snake-Headed Eight Families...
“But the most urgent task right now is to find Erii.” Tachibana Masamune spoke, bringing Genji back to his senses.
……
The night was still, and the Love School, nestled deep in the mountains, had turned off all its lights. Only three lights remained on in the vast campus: one from the guardhouse, one from the power distribution room, and one from the duty room in the dormitory area.
The room with the light on in the duty room is where the family enforcers of the Snake-Headed Eight Family live.
At night, teachers and security guards do not patrol the campus. Only family law enforcers are on duty. Whenever a school worker or student's bloodline goes out of control, they will take action to deal with these useless people.
"The members of the Snake Clan should all be in Tokyo by now, but the enforcer who stayed at the Love School is still here."
"We're imprisoning over a hundred dangerous hybrids; if we don't leave someone to guard them, it'll be a real disaster if something goes wrong."
"Senior Xia, Senior Chu, when shall we make our move?"
"Now!"
For hybrids who have awakened their bloodline, the tall walls and electric fences are easily crossed by simply building a ladder at the base of the walls.
After completing his night patrol, the family law enforcement officer, Akechi Asuya, returned to the duty room to rest.
He completed his advanced studies at Kassel College a few years ago. With his high aspirations, he did indeed make a name for himself at Kassel College, earning the title of "Demon Blade," an invincible fighter in close combat.
He then returned to his family and joined the Kanto branch.
Because the head of the Uesugi family recently ran away from home, the family urgently needs manpower to search for his whereabouts, so they sent him alone to guard the Aoyama Charity School.
He has done an excellent job in the past few years, easily dealing with many dangerous mixed-race individuals who tried to rebel. With another year or two of experience, he can be promoted to branch manager of Kanto.
The reason the family left him alone to guard over hundreds of dangerous hybrids wasn't because they couldn't spare anyone, but because they believed he could accomplish this important task.
Even among the Snake Clan, whose bloodline is inherently stronger than other hybrids, Asuya was a genius; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to leave behind a legend of a demonic sword at Kassel College.
However, life guarding the school was boring. He hoped that one or two dangerous hybrids would have an attack, adding some fun to his life and allowing him to gain some merit.
Unfortunately, he arrived too late. A month ago, a dangerous hybrid named Sakurai Akira awakened his bloodline at Aoyama Love School and successfully escaped, but his whereabouts are unknown. He may have joined the Oni Clan.
If I had arrived a month earlier, maybe I could have earned the merit of this kill? Otherwise, without any achievements, I don't know when I'd ever reach the ministerial position by relying solely on seniority, and by then I might be an old man in my seventies or eighties...
That despicable bloodline-based mentality! Genjiro and Erii Uesugi were born destined to be the heads of their families, while a genius like me, despite my great strength, has to slowly build up my seniority because I don't have enough enemies.
Masamune Tachibana rose through the ranks by slaying demons, so why are the demons cowering like turtles now that it's my turn...?
Amaterasu? My sword has never been ineffective!
Asuya was lost in thought about the persecution and exploitation his clan had inflicted on them, who came from humble backgrounds, when he suddenly sensed something was wrong...
"It seems to be... a precept?"
His pupils contracted. Kassel College was shrouded in discipline all year round, and he was all too familiar with the feeling of being unable to use his Word of Power!
"bump!"
The door was kicked open suddenly, and two masked men rushed towards him, attempting to forcibly restrain the man.
Asuya reacted with lightning speed, drawing his sword and slashing, but only a crisp echo reverberated in the rest room.
Because of the encirclement of the commandments, none of the three could use the power of words, and could only fight with pure physical strength. Even the amplification brought by their bloodlines was severely suppressed.
Asu-ya, an invincible demon sword in close combat, was naturally unafraid of such battles. At Kassel College, he had faced multiple attacks more than once, and each time he managed to escape unscathed or even turn the tables.
If you want to fight me in close-quarters knife combat, then you've picked a worthy opponent!
Asuya had undergone orthodox swordsmanship training, and his long sword was wielded with great power and deadly force. However, he soon realized something was wrong; his opponent was no less skilled than him!
They even beat him more fiercely than he did! Like a biting wild dog!
Surrounded by the two attackers, he could only retreat in a disheveled manner while fighting.
Sakurai Akira was nearly cut twice, and cold sweat poured down his forehead. If it weren't for Chu Zihang taking care of him, he might have been injured and knocked down by this family enforcer in a dozen or so moves.
Chu Zihang's sword strikes were clean and swift, each move powerful and heavy, aimed straight for vital points, leaving Asuya with no power to withdraw her hand or call for backup.
Asuya shouted, "Who are you people?"
The opponent's swordsmanship was both seasoned and immature; despite numerous openings, he couldn't find them. Swordsmanship is never about fancy moves; good swordsmanship is about killing… and the opponent's swordsmanship had no flashy feints, only offense and defense—it was all about killing…
Chu Zihang remained silent, only relentlessly chasing after Asuya.
This was his first real attack, and he couldn't control his movements. He had to go all out to finish off his opponent.
If it weren't for the two days of special training he received from Mai Shude, he probably would have suffered a great loss if he had encountered this person on his first attempt at combat...
