Chapter 309: 79: Rebellion
The director of the Special Affairs Bureau is currently still Kuroki Shinizumi.
But the decision maker has changed to Takeshi Noguchi.
With his best efforts, Miki Inagaki and her Supreme Prayer Group moved into Kyoto and took the initiative to join the extra-staff team of the Special Affairs Bureau. This was Miki Inagaki's way of repaying the Special Affairs Bureau for its full support and trust in the Tokyo Demon Incident.
The Heaven Node also officially opened classes at the newly established Extraordinary Academy in Kyoto, selecting suitable people to train to become Divine Grace Warlocks.
The Aokigahara area was established as a nature reserve and ordinary people were prohibited from entering. Noguchi promised to regularly provide human supplies to the One-Eyed Man and the fox people inside, and successfully won over General Tachibana to join and the fox people's friendly attitude.
It can be said that after this battle, under the guidance of Takeshi Noguchi, Japan completely lifted restrictions on other friendly supernatural forces and started the process of supernaturalization.
The Holy Infant Society remained as aloof as ever. Even if the Huajin Hotel was unable to restore water and electricity supply in a short period of time, they would stay there and not move to Kyoto.
The aftermath and reconstruction of Tokyo is destined to be a bottomless pit. Coupled with the lingering fear that some new demon will emerge just after the reconstruction is completed, the willingness to build is not high.
The former suburbs have now become the center, and just maintaining the food, clothing, shelter and shelter of those people is enough of a headache for the authorities.
"In the short term, we have no way to launch a plan to capture Iki Island." At the Kyoto headquarters of the Special Affairs Bureau, Noguchi Takeshi calmly looked at the depressed Guan Junyan in front of him, "I can tell you clearly that retaking Iki Island is indeed my next major goal, but Japan can no longer withstand the turmoil now."
"No one knows what Iki Island is like now, so once we start the plan, we must go all out, otherwise it's better not to do it."
"But this must be done after the internal forces are integrated."
Guan Junyan knew this was the truth, but he was unwilling to accept it: "Kasahara can't wait that long."
Noguchi fell silent, looked at Guan Junyan's insistent eyes for a while, and then slowly took out a document from the drawer: "Originally, you are not the right person for this task."
The document was pushed in front of Guan Junyan.
[Preliminary special investigation on the recovery of Iki Island]
"Before we officially start the war to recover, we need to collect intelligence. I plan to have Toyokawa serve as the captain and Inagaki Miki as the deputy captain to sneak into Iki Island for preliminary investigation."
"Oh my god!" Guan Junyan's eyes lit up and he grabbed the document.
"Listen to me." Noguchi ignored Guan Junyan's excitement and continued, "Those who can join this team must have the ability to protect their lives and will not act on impulse. I believe in your ability to remain calm, but the means to protect your lives..."
Noguchi shook his head. "We'll know after the evaluation. This news can't be leaked, otherwise Jingquan will definitely ask to join. She's very capable, but also very impulsive. Once she goes in and encounters something related to her sister, she will definitely get out of control."
Guan Junyan nodded and slowly clenched his fist under the table.
"Kasahara, hold on."
Guan Junyan returned to the residence arranged by the Special Affairs Bureau in a restless mood.
The entire apartment here has become the dormitory of the Special Affairs Bureau. If any criminal dares to come here and do something, it would be considered a good temper of these extraordinary people if they can leave their bodies intact.
He opened the door and walked into his room. As soon as he turned on the light, he found that someone was sitting in the living room.
"Jingquan?" Guan Junyan was stunned and felt guilty subconsciously.
"I'm going to Iki Island tomorrow," Jingquan said, holding a photo frame without looking up, "with the people of the Natural Kingdom."
Guan Junyan's heart skipped a beat, and he tried hard to stop her from saying, "You—believe them?"
"It's a relationship of mutual benefit, so it doesn't matter whether we believe it or not." Jingquan's fingertips stroked the smiling sister in the photo frame, "I know you must remember my sister's moon mark, so... aren't you curious why the moon mark revealed by Ozaki Hiro that day included my sister's lines?"
Guan Junyan pondered for a while and said, "I have heard that if you kill the Moon Initiator on a full moon night, you may inherit his abilities, which may also include the Moon Mark."
"He was the one who killed my sister?" Jingquan smiled disdainfully.
Jing Quan finally raised her head and looked at Guan Junyan with indifference: "Sister believed you, but she died in front of you. I wonder if you will dream of her telling you those stories that she was unwilling to give up when you wake up in the middle of the night."
Guan Junyan opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.
"I know it's not your fault, so I enjoyed killing those traditionalists these days, and my hatred towards you has also been reduced a lot." Jingquan's mouth curled up into a bloody smile.
Guan Junyan wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Jingquan again.
".I found the existence of my sister in Ozaki Hiro's body. I suspect she is not dead yet." Jingquan's words startled Guan Junyan.
"You don't dare to guess in this direction, right? But you must have had such an idea, but you didn't dare to confirm it." Jingquan sneered, "I will find her and kill her."
"My sister definitely didn't become a Moon Filth willingly. Whenever I think of her being defiled like this, I can't help but feel sick. I swear I will dig out the person who manipulated all this and crush him completely."
"After today, I will not return to the Special Affairs Bureau. Please help me take care of Senior Tadashiro. She is a very good senior, and I am sorry for her training."
"You can also tell the Special Affairs Bureau everything I said. It doesn't matter. I never believed you. I just thought that maybe my words could serve as clues and help the Special Affairs Bureau a little."
".I am not a defector, but I will not defend myself either."
"Goodbye."
Jingquan Lingqi came suddenly and left quickly.
As soon as he finished speaking, in the blink of an eye, the person disappeared and the photo frame was put back to its original place.
It was a photo of Guan Junyan and Jingquan Sayuri, and it was the only one. They had just moved in not long ago and hadn’t had the time to organize it.
If Jingquan wants to leave, I'm afraid no one in the Special Affairs Bureau can stop him.
She came to say goodbye to me, probably because she was worried about the people in the natural kingdom.
Is it just that the Kingdom of Nature will intervene in matters concerning the unification of the Mother Goddess? Or is it that the Kingdom of Nature is really a member of the Kingdom of Nature?
After a moment's silence, he took out his computer and sorted out the information that Jingquan had just said. For some reason, he deleted the information about Jingquan Sayuri.
late at night.
Tokyo ruins.
Louis took advantage of the cover of the moonless night, walked and stopped, and came to a ruin that was no different from others. Then he picked up a stone and threw it out, making a slight dull sound.
There was still silence all around, not even the sound of insects.
"If you don't come out, I'm leaving." Louis turned around and prepared to leave without any reluctance.
"It's better to be safe than sorry. It's not like you to be so impatient." The baron, who had almost merged into the ruins, slowly appeared with a teasing tone.
Louis smiled and said, "It seems that the Soul Assembly knows me well?" "I dare not say very well, but for those fellow believers who can be won over, we will naturally learn more about them." The baron bowed slightly to Louis, "Soul Assembly, Baron."
"No need to introduce me, we have fought a battle, have you forgotten?" Louis' smile faded.
The baron looked nonchalant: "That was at Mr. Li's request. It was just a misunderstanding, and it's all just a passing cloud."
Louis did not answer: "Let's get straight to the point. What do you want from me? If it's just for a chat, I don't mind asking a few colleagues to take you back to the Heaven Node for trial."
The baron showed no fear and shrugged his shoulders: "If you really had such a plan, you wouldn't have come here alone, Mr. Louis. Don't you think that Mr. Li is suspicious of you?"
Lewis’s expression slowly turned cold: “If you just want to stir up trouble, there’s no need to continue.”
"No, no, no, I'm just stating the facts, some realities that have already happened. For example, I heard that you are no longer the person in charge of the Heavenly Node in Japan, and that Mr. Li's disciples are in charge instead. This is simply a clear lack of trust in you. After all, why not let you, who are familiar with the situation, continue to be the person in charge?"
"It's really chilling to do this."
Lewis had a blank expression on his face: "It's normal to change the content of your work. Have you been responsible for only one thing all these years?"
The baron smiled and shook his head: "So, does Mr. Li have any plans for you?"
Louis was silent for a moment: “Not yet.”
"I'm afraid there won't be any in the future. I guess Mr. Li suspected you of Lisa's disappearance. After all, I heard that Lisa was his favorite disciple. Even if he suspected you, he would still feel resentful towards you. Didn't you feel it these days?"
Louis said nothing.
The baron struck while the iron was hot: "Mr. Li is not tolerant, but Augustus is not a stingy person, and we no longer have to be constrained by those pedantic conditions. We are extraordinary and should be above the rules, not bound by them!"
Louis looked at him quietly: “Do you know where Lisa is?”
"It doesn't matter. As long as you join us, you will naturally know whether she is in our hands or not." The baron did not say it directly.
Louis nodded, then sighed: "It seems that we can only use other means."
The Baron's face suddenly changed, and he subconsciously wanted to use the substitution technique to escape.
But behind him, a piece of stone quickly changed into the appearance of Mr. Li, and a palm full of intricate patterns hit his back, making the baron turn pale and spit out blood.
"Ahem - Sealing Technique!"
He couldn't help but wonder.
Louis didn't stop, grabbed the Baron, and quickly left the place with Mr. Li.
After running out of Tokyo and coming to a secret room that had been arranged in advance, Louis threw the Baron aside and looked at him with a smile.
The baron looked at Louis and Mr. Li in front of him, his face was ugly, and his voice was bitter: “Mr. Li, it turned out that it was not you who was on the plane yesterday.”
Mr. Li did not explain anything, but just tied up the Baron, especially his hands.
"Where's Lisa?"
"Oh, you know I won't tell." The baron smiled and shook his head, looking up at the ceiling, looking like he was waiting to die.
He understood the horror of Augustus better than anyone else.
"Can you tell me why you didn't suspect Louis?" murmured the Baron.
"Okay, exchange it for Lisa's information." Mr. Li said calmly.
After hearing this, the Baron fell silent again.
"Do you think Augustus would be willing to exchange your life for Lisa?" Mr. Li patted him on the shoulder.
"Haha, there's no need to trick me. I admit defeat. I don't know about Lisa, but if you can tell me why you don't doubt Louis' words, I can tell you a secret of the Mother Goddess's unity." The Baron looked like he was determined to die with a clear mind.
Mr. Li nodded: "You go first."
"There are six moon marks from the Initiates, which can be pieced together to form the Moon Map of the Mother Goddess. Those six people who are unified by the Mother Goddess are called God's Chosen. Once there are six, guess what terrible things will happen? I think the Tokyo Demon that destroyed Tokyo will not be a match for it."
The baron's message made the two of them feel cold.
They don't know whether the Special Affairs Bureau is clear about this matter.
But he was not completely sure that what the baron said was the truth.
"It's your turn to speak. I don't think a dignified node of heaven would act like a rogue." The baron stared at Mr. Li with sharp eyes.
Mr. Li did not hide anything.
"You are Gaul, he is Hans, and Lisa is British."
Hearing this, the baron was stunned: "So what?"
"Louis is pronounced as louis in Gaul and Britain, which is [rui] in Japanese. But I'm sorry, Lisa is not a native British. She grew up in Amei. She calls Louis louis, and the s is the pronunciation. If it is changed to katakana, it should be [ruis]." (Corresponding to Volume 16 Chapter )
"You left me clues to mislead me into suspecting Louis, which revealed that Lisa must be in your hands. Otherwise, you wouldn't know that place and that book."
"Similarly, I think there's a high probability that Lisa is still alive. You can't even completely control her. Augustus probably has other plans for her."
After hearing this, the baron was stunned for a long time.
He thought of many possibilities, but he never expected that he would fail in language.
"So that's how it is. I used to think that the saying that details determine success or failure was old-fashioned, but now I didn't expect that it really determines my success or failure." The baron slowly came back to his senses and sighed sincerely.
Mr. Li looked at him seriously for a long time, and when he saw that he closed his mouth and eyes and looked like he would not talk anymore, he did not use any punishment, but took Louis out.
After casting some spells on the secret room, Mr. Li relaxed a little and covered his mouth and coughed violently.
The wounds he sustained in the battle had penetrated deep into his lungs. Although they were not fatal, it was not known whether they would heal in a short time. Perhaps Hedwig would need to come over. Her concentration on healing was the highest among the divine grace warlocks.
It took a while for Mr. Li to recover.
"Shouldn't we force him to tell us about Lisa's whereabouts? If Mr. Li doesn't want to take action, I also know some tricks." Louis asked.
Mr. Li shook his head and looked at him with complicated eyes: "Actually, you don't have to hide your incompetence in front of me. I don't have any ambition for power. If I fail, you are the most suitable person to guide the Heaven Node to continue moving forward."
Louis didn't say anything, but the flicker in his eyes betrayed him.
