Chapter 206, Leaving the Table (Update )
"What are you..."
Utsunomiya Shuo was about to ask him what kind of boxing style he was using, but Kazama Ruri spoke first and skipped the previous topic.
"Do you know why the Eight Snake Clan found you?"
"more or less."
"Oh?"
"Why are you acting stupid?"
The two walked slowly in the hall, heading towards the revolving door at the southernmost end.
When he said this, Utsunomiya Zhuo drooped his eyelids and glanced at Fengjian Liuli who was pretending to be stupid. The latter smiled softly after receiving the blank stare: "It's because of what happened last time. Because of my negligence, Zhuo-kun was implicated. Although I don't know what happened specifically, it must have attracted the attention of the Snake Eight Families."
"That's all I can guess." said Fengjian Liuli.
After hearing his explanation, Zhuo also found that he seemed to have overestimated Fengjian Liuli.
It cannot be said to be overestimated because their perspectives are different.
The Sheqi Eight Clan would notice Zhuo, and instead of arresting him for observation, they expressed goodwill from the very beginning - it said that this was not the intention of Tachibana Masamune (Herzog), but Zhuo would never believe it even if he was beaten to death.
Herzog is an extreme individual who embodies all the negative emotions of human beings. He is conceited, afraid of death, lustful, greedy for power, has a strong desire for control, etc. He is also suspicious by nature and never trusts anyone other than himself.
After something like that happened in the forest last time, a group of mysterious people came to cover Utsunomiya Zhuo... Zhuo guessed it was Lu Mingze based on the existing situation at the time... The nature of this matter has changed.
On the one hand, Utsunomiya Shuo can no longer justify his identity as an "ordinary person".
It is understandable that an ordinary person can be an accurate shooter, but it is hard to explain the involvement of so many forces.
On the other hand, Utsunomiya Shuo's disguise as an "ordinary person" and the "blatant behavior of the aftermath forces" formed a strong contrast.
The former was like an ordinary person struggling between life and death, while the latter acted without any scruples.
Even if the former was disguising himself, then why was it necessary to arrange people to cover his retreat later?
There is a contradiction between the two.
In Herzog's eyes, it felt like someone was trying to cover up his mistake, as if someone was deliberately exposing Utsunomiya Shuo's "unusualness" and then inducing him to continue attacking Utsunomiya Shuo.
How smart this old bitch is.
You asked him to do it, but he didn't, and started investigating the matter.
The best way to investigate, of course, is to keep the person by your side.
Therefore, there was this series of actions by Masamune Tachibana—the trio expressed goodwill.
After all, from the perspective of outsiders, including Ruri Kazama, no one would have thought that Tachibana Masamune and Osho were actually played by the same person.
The result is:
Zhuo joined the Snake Eight Families and became friends with Tachibana Masamune.
General Wang also had a clear reason to repeatedly test Zhuo.
With some pulling and some tugging, one played the good guy and the other played the bad guy, the arrangement was very clear.
——The abacus beads are falling on Zhuo’s face!!!
……
Utsunomiya Shuo's silent gaze also made Kazama Ruri realize that she might have guessed wrong.
He was neither anxious nor impatient, and smiled quietly: "It seems that I guessed wrong." Then he tilted his head to observe the face of Utsunomiya Zhuo who was standing still, blinked and asked: "What are you thinking about, Zhuo-kun?"
"I'm thinking about how to explain it to you."
Utsunomiya Shuo speaks his mind.
"Is it troublesome?"
Fengjian Liuli asked softly.
"A little."
Zhuo answered calmly.
There are many things involved here. First of all, there are many forces behind the scenes, so it is not convenient to tell Fengjian Liuli.
Then there is his own uniqueness, which Zhuo doesn't want to talk about.
Finally, the fact that Wangjiang and Tachibana Masamune are actually the same person, and his identity is Herzog... This is something that Zhuo wants to say but doesn't want to say, and the final conclusion is that he can't say it.
The reason why he didn't want to say the first two things was not because Utsunomiya Shuo was on guard against Kazama Ruri. After so many times of getting along with each other, he felt that Kazama Ruri was really good to him, the only thing missing was him bowing to her... no, the only thing missing was them becoming sworn brothers.
The reason I don't want to say it is that it is completely unnecessary.
Fengjian Liuli is very good at fighting!
Super good at fighting!
Zhuo felt that even Ange might not be able to beat him. You know, Ange's Word Spirit's "Time Zero" is an absolute PVP Word Spirit.
But Zhuo still felt that Fengjian Liuli had a better chance of winning—after all, he was a tough guy who could drink evolutionary medicine as if it were a drink.
Even though he was so optimistic about Fengjian Liuli's fighting ability.
Fengjian Liuli is still not good enough in front of those dragon kings.
He's not even a chess piece.
The chessboard he was caught in was complicated enough already; there was no need to drag him into his own, even bigger and worse, vortex.
...As for why Herzog's identity cannot be revealed————well, it's mainly because he's a brother-con who's head is full of "gaigai! gaigai!", and Zhuo is afraid that he will get excited and go to Yuan Zhisheng who doesn't trust him at all to confide in each other, and then die.
……
"Then there's no need to explain." Fengjian Liuli said calmly, so that Zhuo didn't have to bother explaining the matter to her.
wash:"?"
Zhuo looked at him in surprise.
"It's nothing, Zhuo-kun," Feng Jian Liuli smiled gently and explained, "Since you can trust me to approach Miss Uesugi, then I will naturally trust you, so there is no need to explain anything. Everyone has their own secrets. Just keep your own secrets in your heart."
"Uh..." Utsunomiya Zhuo felt a little uncomfortable and touched his nose, "Don't say that."
If Ling saw this action, he would definitely know that it was an action that Zhuo did when he was embarrassed, which meant that he was ashamed.
Feng Jian Liuli didn't care and continued to walk forward: "Zhuo Jun, do you know that I have met that Miss Uesugi?"
"Really?" Utsunomiya Shuo answered absentmindedly.
He was indeed a little shy.
In fact, he didn't really believe that 'Kazama Ruri wouldn't go crazy and kill Uesugi Eri', but he had his reasons for being so relieved.
1. Kazama Ruri cannot beat Uesugi Erii.
2. They are siblings.
What happened here is not easy to explain, as it involves many, many things, starting from Black Swan Port and even his father's previous romantic history... Pull out the radish and bring out the mud.
Anyway, it’s very troublesome and the explanation is endless.
This time, Zhuo is simply suffering from advanced laziness and is too lazy to explain.
Just don't mention it.
I didn't expect to be misunderstood.
...Ruri Kazama continued talking, having mentioned before that he had met Eriya Uesugi.
"She is also a very beautiful girl with blood-red hair, but she should be the type that Zhuojun would like." Fengjian Liuli looked back meaningfully, then walked into the revolving door.
"Yeah."
Utsunomiya Zhuo followed behind in silence, no longer wanting to clarify anything.
Then go out.
Fengjian Liuli took a step forward and walked to the left, raising her arm in greeting without looking back.
Zhuo stood in front of the steps of the Quartz Building and barely looked up and waved.
It counts as a farewell.

A bit cavin.
My outline is divided into six parts, mainly based on the emotional line, and the branch line is the advancement of the dragon clan plot. However, the two are interspersed with each other and have a causal relationship.
I am currently writing the fourth part.
I know a lot of people are eager to see the "Dragon 3" plot, but that's the sixth part.
Writing this down means that the book is coming to an end.
There's no rush now.
