Volume 3 Hello, Eri Chapter 261: The Cat Substitutes for the Prince (Part 2)
“Oh my god, you know so much, why didn’t anyone tell me?” Lu Mingfei looked a little unhappy. They were all in the same team, but the two older brothers did not include her in the conspiracy. She felt like she was being excluded.
"You are a busy man, so how can you have the time to search the cellar in Takamagahara?" Caesar teased, "But the main work is done by Chu Zihang, and it really has nothing to do with me."
When you stay together for too long, there will always be some subtle changes in the relationship. What's more, now everyone has even become colleagues who play brotherly games on the same stage every day. If it were in the past, it would be hard to imagine that Caesar would say such words.
Chu Zihang continued to draw the schematic diagram on the table based on Yuan Zhinu's. Since the other party had the same idea as them, there was nothing to hide at the moment. If they wanted to discuss cooperation, they had to show some sincerity.
"The inner area of Genji Heavy Industries has no access control system. We have been to the Iron Dome Temple and have taken those elevators." Chu Zihang said, "But we don't know what the security system of the inner area is like. If we walk through the inner area passage, we can avoid crowded places. There is a sewer just below Takamaga-hara. We walk east along it and go around under the Shinjuku subway station. After entering the main pipeline, we will see Genji Heavy Industries soon. The total length is about two kilometers."
"I heard your Japanese level in the store these two days, Chu Jun, is very poor. How did you get this information?" Yuan Zhinu couldn't help but be a little curious. They had been communicating in Chinese. Yuan Zhinu had never gone to college for further studies, but he liked Chinese poetry. He had studied Chinese and his level was pretty good.
"Google." Chu Zihang said expressionlessly, "Information about underground sewers is public on the Internet because everyone can see the manhole covers around them."
"Do you also understand Japanese operating systems?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"Although I can't understand Japanese, I can slowly get the hang of it by tapping the keys one by one. There are also many Chinese characters in Japanese. With reasonable inference and practice, I can use various machines." Chu Zihang's answer was very much like that of a science student. As the saying goes, practice is the best criterion for testing truth, and he has always been diligent in this regard.
"Since you also have such a plan, the problem becomes much simpler. We can enter Genji Heavy Industries through the underground sewers together. Although I am not very talented, the intelligence network of the Oni Clan has a thorough understanding of the interior of Genji Heavy Industries. I can provide you with detailed guidance." Genji Chitose clapped her hands to show her approval of Caesar's team. "When you have seen the things in Genji Heavy Industries with your own eyes, we can really put down our guard and sit together."
"But it's still very dangerous, isn't it? It's like crossing a river by feeling the stones, but Genji Heavy Industries is undoubtedly the Yarlung Zangbo River. If we step into empty space, we will be drowned." It seemed that the others were completely unaware of the dangers of this opportunity. Lu Mingfei had to take action. In her eyes, this was a dramatic plan with no backup plan, no crisis response, and no way out. It seemed that as long as everyone went, they would succeed. It was all about compatriotism.
"How do you know if you don't try? If you are discovered, the worst that can happen is that you have to kill them." Caesar said lightly.
“Hey! You three killers can definitely fight your way out easily! Have you ever considered that there is a weak woman like me in the team!” Lu Mingfei snorted, “Running away is not my style! Do you know that the girl who is left alone in the movie is often the one with the worst fate?”
"Then why don't you stay? It's always the job of a weak woman to snuggle up in another girl's bed and sleep in the dead of night, right?" Caesar hinted that Eri had become Lu Mingfei's forbidden concubine, and Lu Daxian'er's most important task every night was to sleep in the same bed with the little monster.
"Is it ridiculous that I am such an unkind person? Can I watch you two go into danger while I wait here? All the men who come out of Kassel Academy are of the same character, with a look of "just do it and that's it" all over their faces, without any carefulness at all!" Lu Mingfei slammed the table and stood up, "Girls, I want to give you an insurance! Wait here!"
Lu Mingfei left angrily, and came back angrily a few minutes later. She put a stick wrapped in cloth on the table and pushed it towards Yuan Zhinv.
"Open it and take a look." Lu Mingfei said.
The cloth strip was opened, and Gen Chinu was stunned for a moment. The Spider Cutlery was lying in the dim light of the bar, shining coldly. The blade was stained with too much blood and bones of evil spirits, and was already rusty like corrosion, but the Spider Cutlery was still extremely sharp and invincible. It was this knife that pierced his chest many years ago.
"Spider Cut." Genjiro immediately announced the name of the knife. He slowly pulled up the cloth strip to cover the blade and looked at the Cassel team with a smile on his face. "Can I say that my brother is in your hands based on this? He is the one who will be buried with this knife even if he dies."
"Since I brought the knife, it means I have no intention of hiding this from you." Lu Mingfei crossed his arms and looked like a big shot. He sat on the chair with his legs crossed and swayed, his eyes frivolous. "Yuan Zhisheng is indeed in our hands, but you can't see him before I allow you. You want to come to us to negotiate conditions with your own purpose, so now I will negotiate with you. The Spider Cut can be temporarily given to you to use. The price is to replace the prince with a cat. Have you heard of it?"
"I know. I'm very knowledgeable about Peking Opera. This story comes from the Three Heroes and Five Gallants, a famous anecdote in your China." Yuan Zhinv nodded.
"You are the raccoon cat, go and replace your brother's prince." Lu Mingfei's smile gradually became more unbridled, revealing the flavor of a bad woman. "Of course this is a backup plan. After all, you and your brother haven't seen each other for many years. Even twins find it difficult to imitate. So unless it is necessary, you are still the source girl. If something goes wrong, you will be the source boy. It should not be difficult to suppress others with the young master present. The source boy has a high reputation in the eight snake families. Everyone knows him. You are carrying the spider cut, which is the best proof of identity."
Yuan Zhinu's eyes lit up, and he smiled and applauded Lu Mingfei: "You are worthy of being the girl I fell in love with at first sight. What a bold and wonderful plan! Of course there is no problem. It may be flawed for me to play other roles in this world, but only my brother, I can imitate him just like the real him, he is so easy to master!"
"So it's settled then?" Lu Mingfei raised her eyebrows and looked around at Chu Zihang and Caesar, "What do you think?"
"It's a great insurance. If there is any problem, we can just push him out alone." Caesar had no intention of hiding it from Yuan Zhinv. He said it frankly. He had a clear distinction between his family and outsiders.
"No problem. If Genjiro performs well enough, we can even use this to get somewhere more profitable, like blowing up Kaguya-hime or something. If we lose that supercomputer, Japan's blockade of Norma will be lifted, and we can contact the academy headquarters right away."
Chu Zihang took out bags of plasticine-like stuff from the box and placed them on the table. These plasticines were all dark green in color and could be molded into any shape. They were easy to carry and use, and were the C4 plastic explosives that terrorists all over the world deserved.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing with the explosives? We are gradually becoming the kind of people on the wanted list!" Lu Mingfei was shocked and tried to stand up and use her body to cover these dangerous things. "By the way, where did you get them?"
"It was on the Sumeru throne. When I left, it was still floating on the sea. The bag I found contained Japanese banknotes, bread, and some weapons." Caesar leisurely lit a cigar, the flames illuminating the makeup on his face. "People in Kassel don't need anything except weapons. We never know when we might need them, so I took some with me. It's also worth noting that we're wanted by the Metropolitan Police Department for smuggling nuclear fuel, terrorist attacks, and raping young girls. As long as we don't do the last thing, we're not on the wanted list."
"Ever since I came to Japan, I've felt that the Gattuso soul in you has awakened. You've almost turned into an outlaw!" Lu Mingfei held his forehead with his hand.
"When did I say I'm a law-abiding citizen?" Caesar patted his coat. He could vaguely hear the sound of gunfire from inside. "The weapons we picked up are all from the underworld. There are no Frigga bullets. Remember, we are just exploring the way. Don't shoot unless necessary to avoid hurting innocent people. If necessary, just shoot at the feet or wrists or something like that."
"It's really troublesome to have an academy behind the scenes. I almost forgot that you are still students." Yuan Zhinv smiled faintly, "If it comes to that, you can just let me handle it."
"I think you'll be a reliable teammate." Caesar nodded approvingly and snapped his fingers. "Then adjourn the meeting. Everyone go back and prepare your things. We'll meet in the elevator in the basement ."
"So urgent?" Lu Mingfei was dumbfounded. She really didn't expect Caesar to choose to set off tonight. Doing so was undoubtedly forcing the issue.
"It's okay. Caesar and I have discussed this for a long time." Chu Zihang gave Lu Mingfei a reassuring look, but other than Lu Mingfei, everyone else would think that it was still the same as usual.
Oh, I always feel like there is a warm current in my chest that warms my cold heart. Is there anything better than your boyfriend saying to you, "Leave it to me"? The ultimate dream of every girl is to curl up in the broad arms of her man and be a docile kitten that meows at night.
The elevator reached the bottom floor, the door opened, and it was pitch black outside.
Chu Zihang turned on the flashlight, and the beam of light illuminated the dusty statue of the Virgin Mary. Although the paint had changed color due to its age, the statue of the Virgin Mary still glowed with a luxurious red-gold color, which showed that real gold powder was added to the painting pigment.
This is the second underground floor of Takamagahara. After staying here for so long, Lu Mingfei first knew that this building actually has a second underground floor. One of the four elevators is a freight elevator that can reach this floor.
The infiltration team was well prepared. Chu Zihang carried a long knife on his back, a black windbreaker, and a black baseball cap on his head. Caesar also wore a black windbreaker, with a Dick Tudor and a pistol hanging in a scabbard at his waist. The lining of their windbreakers was full of brilliant Ukiyo-e paintings.
Takama-hara often needs to customize various performance costumes, and has his own special contacts with shops. As popular gigolos, they ask them to purchase and make each of them a uniform for the executive bureau, and nominally even use Takama-hara's money.
Gen Chisei also changed into the most formal suit in the store. When he came to the elevator, the three of them were almost stunned. Fifteen minutes ago, he was still a beautiful girl in a dress, and fifteen minutes later, he was already handsome and upright. With the suit and spider cut, he looked like the executive director Gen Chisei himself. It was not until he showed a mocking smile that the completely fake atmosphere dissipated in a smile. He really didn't lie. This guy is simply a natural actor.
"How long has it been since this old house was properly cleaned?" Lu Mingfei pinched her nose and waved her arms to drive away the dust in front of her eyes. Under the light of the flashlight, the accumulated dust here was like a smoke screen scattered in the air. Every breath was like fighting with spring pollen in the flowers.
"Before World War II, this was a Catholic church with a history of at least 80 years. After the Meiji Restoration, many missionaries came to Japan to preach. At that time, there were many Catholics. This was once a base for believers in Tokyo, where dozens of priests lived and held regular services and masses. The store manager liked its location and spent a lot of money to renovate it into a nightclub. This floor is the confessional and scripture reading room. It was used as a shelter during World War II. It is still a government-planned shelter today, but the store manager uses it as a storage room."
Chu Zihang walked in front to explore the way. This kind of work was obviously more suitable for Caesar. With the blessing of Kamaitachi, he was a living radar. But no one could guarantee what would happen in Genji Heavy Industries. Using the Word Spirit for a long time was also a big consumption, and now he needed to conserve his energy.
"Are you sure it's a storage room and not some dark ghost lair?" Lu Mingfei has always trusted Chu Zihang's words, but now it seems that his explanation is still biased.
"The basement is a wine cellar so it is used more frequently. This is where most of the things that you won't need for a while but are reluctant to throw away are placed. Over time, they tend to accumulate dust."
Wherever the beam of light swept through was gray. The walls were painted with chalk, the ground was simply smoothed with cement, and there were traces of smoke and fire on the walls. In the corners were piled up parts of the organ, an enamel-decorated pulpit, and a cross two or three people tall with an old red robe hanging on the cross.
They are indeed old items, but considering that Takamagahara often hosts stage plays, these things will easily be moved out at some point and used as stage decorations, so Chu Zihang is not wrong.
