Volume 3: The World's Strongest Chapter 34: Bai Xiuluo
That night , at the dining table in the side hall of the Kamiizumi family's dojo.
"Qi Jijun, what you did has really put a lot of pressure on our Shangquan family..."
Masanobu Kamiizumi smiled bitterly and toasted Qi Ji with a glass of wine.
Qi Ji smiled and raised his glass, then drank the juice in the glass in one gulp.
Ever since he stopped being a corporate slave, no one can make him drink a drop of alcohol, no one!
After drinking the juice, Qi Ji put down the cup and said with a smile: "Why, can the Sakura Kendo world still control your capital?"
Kamiizumi Masanobu said helplessly: "Although the kendo world has no direct way to take our capital, we can't resist the fact that many presidents in the business world have practiced related ancient swordsmanship. Now various schools have sent messages to our Kamiizumi family through these people, asking us to stop your provocative behavior."
Qi Ji looked at Shangquan Zhengxin with a half-smile on his face: "So what is Uncle Shangquan going to do?"
Shangquan Zhengxin looked at Qi Ji's calm expression and knew that he could not shake this warrior's mind. He could only sigh and said, "What else can we do? Qi Ji is a distinguished guest invited by our Shangquan family. We should bear the consequences of our distinguished guest's behavior."
This uncle really knows how to judge the situation.
Qi Ji nodded, smiled and lowered his head to eat.
If Kamiizumi Masanobu said anything like he could no longer protect Qi Ji, Qi Ji would definitely turn around and leave.
He had so many places to go, including Zang Feng's Sakura branch, and Qin Zijin arranged a call to a branch of the family business. At worst, he could just post a blog and countless rich fans would arrange logistics for him.
In short, this journey of challenging the opponent will never stop because of that insignificant bit of coercion and pressure.
Yes, it is still possible to stop.
For example, Sakura's cabinet was forced to stop a certain outrageous measure under pressure, so that everyone can eat seafood with peace of mind.
Qi Ji promised to stop the challenge immediately.
However, judging from the current situation, Sakura's kendo circle may not have the ability to influence the cabinet's decision.
"Tomorrow is the first Death Mad Sword Fight, right?" Seeing that Shangquan Zhengxin understood, Qi Ji took the initiative to change the subject, "When do we set off?"
Kamiizumi Masanobu also perked up and said with a smile, "We'll board the helicopter at 5pm, and then head to the corresponding high seas according to the temporary instructions of the Death Madness Society."
Qi Ji nodded, put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "I'm full."
Saeko Ueizumi, who was standing next to him, immediately came over to take away his dishes and brought them to the kitchen.
Masanobu Kamiizumi looked at his daughter and felt that she seemed to be behaving more virtuously than usual.
He looked thoughtfully at Qi Ji who was sitting comfortably in the chair, and couldn't help but sigh.
Saeko, the guy you like has already been tied to the daughter of a super family in Daxia...
Qi Ji didn't have as many thoughts as Shangquan Zhengxin. He asked casually: "Uncle Shangquan, you said before that this death mad sword fight must be participated in with masks, right? Do I have a mask?"
Kamiizumi Masanobu nodded and smiled, "Of course. Apart from the use of special anti-detection materials, there is no other difficulty. It was completed yesterday." He turned around, picked up a box from the side and opened it in front of Qi Ji.
A pure white smiley face mask lay quietly in the suitcase.
"Are you sure you want this one without a pattern? I thought young people like you would like something more fancy." asked Masanobu Kamiizumi.
"Some young people also like this weird and mysterious smile. There are many kinds of chuunibun!"
Qi Ji joked and decisively picked up the white mask to cover his face.
As soon as the mask was put on, Qi Ji opened his eyes and felt that the maximum angle of his vision seemed to be a little less, but otherwise there was no difference from his normal vision.
Kamiizumi Itsuto and Saeko, who were standing next to him, came over to look at him.
"It feels mysterious and terrifying." Shangquan Yiren looked for a while and felt that Qi Ji's temperament seemed to become weird after putting on the mask, and he couldn't help but shudder.
"Very handsome, but it's a pity that the mask can't hide Qi Jijun's other features at all. I can recognize it's you at first glance." Saeko Kamiizumi covered her mouth and laughed.
"It's too outrageous to recognize him at first sight." Qi Ji laughed, but to be honest, if it was an acquaintance, a mask that only covered the face would be difficult to escape recognition from acquaintances. He thought about it, borrowed a rubber band from Izumi Saeko, tied up his long hair, which had grown a little long after two months, and formed a short ponytail on the back of his head.
He stood up and adjusted his mind. The next second, a horrifying bloody intention emanated towards the Shangquan family.
"Now, is it still the same?" Qi Ji's voice became hoarse and low, which was a huge difference from his usual clear tone.
A weird white smiling face, long tied-up hair, a terrifying and bloody aura, and even the body posture has undergone subtle changes.
At this moment, Qi Ji seemed to have become another person, as if he was the natural enemy of mankind and the existence at the top of the food chain.
"Fuck... Shit!" Shangquan Yiren couldn't help but blurt out the Daxia dialect that he had just learned.
Ueizumi Saeko also nodded, and her expression when she looked at Qi Ji became even more passionate: "Qi Ji, why do I feel that you are the real you now?"
Qi Ji continued to maintain his cold and low voice, and said lightly: "President Shangquan, I suddenly have an idea. My code name should be something like Shura Demon."
Kamiizumi Masanobu pondered and said, "Shura?"
Suddenly he saw Qi Ji's fair skin, and his eyes lit up: "Got it, let's call you Bai Xiuluo! There is no title more suitable for your current appearance than this."
He suddenly became full of confidence that Qi Ji could win the final victory in this sword fight!
…
The next day, evening.
A helicopter quickly flew across the sky of Tokyo and headed overseas.
Qi Ji, wearing a mask and with his hair tied up, sat silently in the helicopter.
Opposite him sat Masanobu Kamiizumi and his beautiful secretary wearing glasses, who was sitting calmly.
"This is my secretary, 'Harutani Kaede'."
"She will be fully responsible for all the logistics of the upcoming Death Madness Sword Fight for you."
Kamiizumi Masanobu smiled and turned to look at the secretary beside him and said, "This mysterious master from Daxia, Bai Xiuluo, is the one you will serve this time."
Chun Gu Feng is petite, with long blond hair tied into a bun. She has delicate features but a very serious expression.
After hearing what Shangquan Zhengxin said, she held up her gold-rimmed glasses with her hand and looked at Qi Ji, then spoke the Daxia language skillfully with almost no accent: " This 'Bai Xiuluo', although his temperament and body shape are completely different, but judging from his body shape and hair color and other features, combined with my recent understanding of the president's arrangements, there is more than a 90% chance that he is Qi..."
"Ahem!" Kamiizumi Masanobu immediately clenched his fist and put it to his mouth, then coughed to interrupt Chun Gufeng, "You see through it but don't say it!"
"Understood." Chun Gufeng replied calmly, then looked at Qi Ji: "Mr. Bai Xiuluo, you can arrange for me anytime if you need anything next time."
Qi Ji's tone was expressionless. He said, "My opponent tonight is a guy called 'Razor'. Do you have any information?"
He had a strange feeling, as if the moment he put on the mask , the sunny and cheerful Qi Ji in reality disappeared, and the Shura-like Qi Ji who was fighting frantically with all kinds of enemies in the tower emerged naturally.
There is an interesting saying that due to the complexity of social and living environment, everyone will "put on" more or less various "psychological masks" in order to adapt to the environment in daily life. An argument derived from this is - in this situation, is the self the real self or the hypocritical self?
Correspondingly, after putting on the mask, Bai Xiuluo abandoned his identity of "Qi Ji" and became as bloody, ruthless and powerful as he was in the tower.
Could this kind of silence be the real silence?
Is Bai Xiuluo real, or is Qi Ji real?
There is no way to know anything.
Masanobu Kamiizumi and Feng Chuntani had even less understanding of Qi Ji's current condition.
After hearing Qi Ji's question, Chun Gufeng nodded, took out a tablet computer, operated it for a few seconds and handed it to Qi Ji, then said, "This swordsman codenamed 'Razor' is affiliated with Rhine Technology. His previous identity is unknown, but based on his movements in previous battles, he is suspected to be a missing elite special forces soldier from a special forces unit in the United States."
"The weapon he uses is a Nordic saber. He relies on his intuition to avoid unexpected attacks in battle. His strength is determined to be at least level eight. He has fought in the Death Mad Sword Battle for Rhine Technology eighteen times, winning sixteen times and losing twice. In the victories, all the enemies... died!"
Qi Ji took the tablet, which showed a tall and strong man wearing a tight black tactical uniform. His entire face was covered by a military green mask, leaving only a pair of cold eyes.
In the lower right corner, some basic information about this person is displayed.
[Codename: Razor]
[Affiliation: Rhine Technology]
【Height: 192cm】
【Weight: 118kg】
[Weapon: Nordic old-style infantry saber (total length 81cm, blade length 67cm)]
[School: Nordic Saber Technique]
[Death Maniac Record: 16 wins, 2 losses, 16 kills]
[Confirmed rank: 8th rank (intuition)]
Qi Ji took a look and silently returned the tablet to Chun Gufeng: "Okay, I understand."
Seeing that Qi Ji stopped talking, Chun Gufeng and Shangquan Yiren looked at each other and stopped talking.
They have silently labeled Qi Ji as someone with potential dual personality.
Only people with this kind of multiple personality tendencies will show such abnormalities after putting on a mask.
There was no conversation along the way. I don't know how long the helicopter circled over the sea. As the sky gradually darkened, the pilot finally heard instructions from the tower.
Soon, the helicopter flew to a nearby destination.
Qi Ji was wearing a mask and looked down at the plane with a calm expression.
A huge cargo ship is floating quietly on the sea.
"We're here." Chun Gufeng propped up his glasses with his fingers.
Qi Ji nodded slightly.
After a while, the helicopter quickly landed on the deck of the freighter under the instructions of the personnel below.
Masanobu Kamiizumi and Kaede Harutani were the first to get off the plane.
