“This is the ending they want, and what we need to do is deliver this ending to them,” Gu Ran said. “Then, you brothers and sisters might be able to escape this trap.”
Yuan Zhinv closed her eyes, seemingly thinking about something, then opened them again: "I understand, but wouldn't it be too rushed to start rehearsals now? There's not enough time; the story's ending is tonight."
"There is enough time. In my illusion, I can control the flow of time here at will. You can stay here for a thousand years if you want, but when you leave, you will find that only a moment has passed."
"This is truly a miracle!" Yuan Zhinv exclaimed. "Perhaps you are the god."
"Gods are also human, they just did things that humans couldn't do." Gu Ran called out, and the actors took their positions. "Alright, let's begin! Everyone, get to work!"
At a command, Erii and Genji, who were not far away, all sprang into action and began to put on a good show.
*……*……*
Outside the Red Well.
As dawn broke, a monster's roar echoed from the well. To the uninitiated, it might have been mistaken for some kind of monster, but Genji knew that what was inside was a 'god'.
The god was struggling, soaked in highly toxic mercury, just like the venomous snakes in Lingnan, China, which were soaked in alcohol. The live snake struggled incessantly in the high alcohol content, its head and tail constantly hitting the surroundings, making violent vibrations.
The violent shaking even triggered an earthquake, and the Tokyo Meteorological Bureau repeatedly tried to come and monitor the earthquake situation, even sending an observation helicopter.
However, the Heruka family also had connections within the Self-Defense Forces. An F-2 fighter jet accompanied the helicopter for a minute, showing the helicopter pilot the missiles it was carrying and warning them not to approach the temporary military control zone.
The researchers inside the helicopter were terrified and ultimately had to give up exploring the area and return home. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government also temporarily abandoned its investigation into the cause of the earthquake.
At this point, it was unclear whether the 'god' at the bottom of the well or the Ghost-toothed Dragon Vipers were completely dead. However, the second step of the plan left by Genjiro and Miyamoto Shio was to drop thermite incendiary bombs into the well.
Thermite incendiary bombs can generate temperatures exceeding 3000 degrees Celsius, equivalent to half the surface temperature of the sun. Any carbon-based organism exposed to such high temperatures would be instantly carbonized.
But 'God' is different. Under the high temperature of the thermite, God can continue to struggle and angrily strike the well wall.
The high temperature will also vaporize the mercury at the bottom of the well, turning it into mercury vapor, which will continue to poison the 'god' and its guardians.
Soon after, the high temperature broke through the giant manhole cover, forcing Genji to leave. The mercury vapor inside immediately spread around.
The creature below struggled for another ten or twenty minutes before gradually becoming still.
The embryo of God should be dead, right?
Yuan Zhisheng thought.
He breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of ease that his fate had finally come to an end. But when he turned around and saw the two body bags on the ground, he felt a pang of sadness.
Of the eight families of the Snake Clan, only five remain. The Inuyama family of Inuyama He has been on sick leave and has not participated in the clan's battles, seemingly still harboring resentment over the assassination attempt.
In other words, as the patriarch, Genjiro only has influence over four families, of which the Genji and Uesugi families have little real power, only reputation.
But on this day his fame reached its zenith, for under his leadership he killed a god, enough to add another mural to the family and be celebrated for eternity.
However, Genji was too tired to think about what happened after that. He was very tired and wanted to rest. He wanted to go to the beaches of France to sell sunscreen, but the girl who had promised to leave with him was no longer there.
The only thing that made him happy was that Erii didn't have to go to the battlefield. It was too cruel to make that little girl bear the family's mission. He promised Tachibana Masamune that he would take good care of Erii.
Fuma Kotaro glanced at the two corpses on the ground and thought that if someone hadn't intervened last night, he and Sakurai Nanami might have been forced to their deaths by Gu Ran's scheme. In that case, the Snake Clan might have ended up with only two families left...
That kid is really cunning; he almost drove me to my death last night.
He took a deep breath and recounted the events of the previous night to Yuan Zhisheng, emphasizing Su Enxi's identity. She controlled the family's wealth and could bankrupt the entire Sheqi Eight Families at any time.
Gu Ran's statement that pension payments wouldn't be made next month was conservative. If Su Enxi wanted to, she could bankrupt all of the Sheqi Eight Families' businesses in the US and Japan, and it would take them at least ten years to recover.
Su Enxi is a top expert in manipulating illegal capital. She could easily stir up a financial storm in Japan, which would not only affect the Snake Clan, but also destroy the entire Japanese financial market.
But she claims she's just in charge of the accounts; who's behind her? She won't tell you!
Yuan Zhisheng sighed, never expecting that there was a mysterious and powerful force behind this matter.
Fuma Kotaro tells Genji that he received a formal notification from the Caesar Group a few minutes ago that Genji will personally negotiate with Genji tonight.
Genjiro didn't know whether to refuse or agree. He didn't approve of Genjiro at all because Tachibana Masamune had said that when he and Genjiro were "created", one person had a stable bloodline, while the other person was bound to be an extremely evil demon.
Therefore, he didn't know how to trust Genjiro, this extremely evil demon.
Why does his brother have to be a ghost?
Moreover, he killed Genji back then, so Genji must have been very angry with him as her older brother.
A flood of complex emotions overwhelmed Yuan Zhisheng, leaving him momentarily unable to make up his mind.
At that moment, he saw Sakurai Nanami unzip the body bag. She knelt on the ground, quietly looking at the face of the dead Ryoma Genichiro.
Genji had also heard about the love-hate entanglements of the family heads, including Sakurai Nanami. Ryoma Genichiro was Sakurai Nanami's lover, who was already married, but he wasn't a gossipy person, so he never cared.
It's such a pity that the two are now separated by death, and perhaps there were still many things they wanted to say to each other.
Therefore, Yuan Zhisheng made a decision: "I will go and negotiate with Zhinu, and tell him that we brothers don't need anyone else to be present, so that we can have a proper talk."
"Yes!" Fuma Kotaro quickly bowed and agreed, not even glancing at Sakurai Nanami kneeling on the ground, and left to carry out the order.
*……*……*
After Gu Ran and Yuan Zhinu finished rehearsing, they left Takamagahara and returned to their hotel suite.
Takamagahara and the hotel suite he had booked were both in Shinjuku Ward, not far from each other. After returning to the suite, Gu Ran started taking off his clothes to take a shower, as he had been caught in the rain the night before and his clothes were completely soaked.
He was originally going to change into Caesar and Chu Zihang's clothes, but their male escort outfits... were just too tacky. He'd rather wear his wet clothes than change into theirs.
After taking a shower, he walked out of the bathroom and saw Sakura Yabuki standing respectfully to his side.
“You’re back.” Sakura bowed slightly to him.
She was still wearing the black hoodie Gu Ran had given her that day, her hair tied in a high ponytail, her beautiful face bare of makeup.
"Oh, I forgot you were here." Gu Ran wrapped the bath towel tighter, a little shy. "Let's talk again after I go back to my room and change my clothes."
"it is good."
Soon, Gu Ran got dressed and went to the living room, where she collapsed onto the sofa.
I didn't sleep again last night.
"Would you like me to make you some breakfast?" Sakura asked considerately.
"Okay, I'll just make something simple." Gu Ran turned on the TV, and Ying used the suite's open kitchen to make him a sandwich.
The television began broadcasting earthquake warnings; the earthquake had originated from the Tama River.
"Was God really not killed?" Sakura asked as she cut a piece of bread.
Gu Ran had told her about his plan before, so she knew that God had not been killed.
“You yourself know that ordinary methods cannot kill the God of Death, and besides, the person behind the scenes has not yet achieved their goal,” Gu Ran said. “But tonight may be the night that decides our fate.”
Sakura was slicing a cucumber when she suddenly stopped and asked, "Can a person's fate really be rewritten? Like Ragnarok, the history of the dragon race says that Ragnarok is an unavoidable ending."
Gu Ran said, "Maybe we can, maybe we can't, but we still have to struggle. Otherwise, it would be too easy for those who plot to succeed."
A moment later, Sakura brought over a plate of sandwiches made from canned tuna, and Gu Ran didn't stand on ceremony and ate them right away.
"Have all the arrangements been made for the waters near Tokyo Bay?" Gu Ran asked.
Sakura replied, "We have already contacted the head of the Inuyama family in secret, and we have prepared emergency rescue equipment and supplies in the waters near Tokyo Bay, including kayaks, rain tents, emergency medical supplies and emergency food. We have mobilized everything we can."
"You won't be discovered, right?"
"Our family members are all busy slaying gods, so they probably won't pay attention to this little thing. As for the king... he's probably already immersed in the joy of discovering a god, and he won't care about our preparation of relief supplies at all."
"Very good." Gu Ran nodded.
Previously, he relied solely on the Liu family, so he only thought about rescuing the Chinese people on the beach.
Now, with Sakura's help, we can save even more Japanese people.
"By the way, I've revised a few lines in the script. Please take a look." Sakura took out the thick script and handed it to Gu Ran.
Chapter 485 Gangster Party
Gu Ran took over Ying's script and, in addition to modifying some lines, also added Genji's habitual actions.
"Very good, this play is quite exciting."
Gu Ran is the director of this play, but the help of Ying and Yuan Zhinu is also indispensable. Yuan Zhinu is a professional actress, and Kazama Ruri is the best actress.
Sakura is one of the people who understands Genjiro the most, so she is responsible for correcting Genjiro's lines and movements in order to make the film a success.
The stage is ready.
All that's missing is the actors.
Gu Ran closed the script and asked, "Has the Zhang family in Nanyang released any news?"
"As you arranged, the message was released last night through the gangs of the Oni Clan. According to the Inuyama family's informants, they went out this morning to purchase enough fresh water and food, preparing to live discreetly on the cargo ship and lay low for a while."
"very good."
Gu Ran smiled. It was already past midnight, so they probably wouldn't be able to leave.
He instructed Yabuki Sakura to spread the word that he had discovered traces of the Zhang family in Nanyang and was preparing to follow the trail to find them.
The cargo ships belonging to the Zhang family of Nanyang have been stationed at Chiba Port in Tokyo Bay, seemingly waiting for the 'god' to awaken, and also for the King's new batch of evolution medicine.
Perhaps they are also waiting to become dragons.
But they are destined not to live to see that day, because tonight they will all perish. When Gu Ran infiltrated last time, he had already prepared graves for them.
"Everything is ready." Gu Ran stood up and stretched. "I'm going to my room to catch up on some sleep. Don't call me for lunch."
"Yes." Sakura lowered her head slightly.
*……*……*
When Gu Ran woke up, it was already past four in the afternoon.
After getting up, he brushed his teeth and washed his face, put on his black combat uniform, carried his usual tactical bag around his waist, and finally put on a loose trench coat over it.
When I stepped out of the room, I saw that Sakura was also wearing her usual black bodysuit, which contained her signature metal hidden weapon.
"I made some rice balls, I don't know if you'll like them." Sakura then brought over a plate of rice balls and miso soup.
"What a considerate secretary! I even want to go to the French beach with you to sell sunscreen." Gu Ran picked up a rice ball and sat on the sofa to eat.
Sakura smiled, a rare occurrence for her: "You're joking. I know you're most fond of your fiancée."
"But I also really want a secretary like you, who is good-looking, can fight, and can do everything perfectly."
“Given your status in China, finding an excellent secretary should be easy,” Ying said. “Like that girl at the French restaurant the other day, the one who could make thunder, she was quite good.”
