Chapter 137 Be Careful
In the eyes of the people in the Dark World, Shinjuku was undoubtedly the most famous place in Dongdu.
The municipal governnt of Dongdu was located in Shinjuku. Furthermore, Shinjuku was also ho to the headquarters or all-important divisions of the yakuza within East Island.
It was also the site of the greatest concentration of the special warfare agencies of East Island. In this small area, there were nearly 60 special warfare agencies clustered together and appeared in front of everyone with the na of the company or the association.
It was also interesting to note that Shinjuku was ho to Kabukicho, known as Asia’s largest red-light district. Nearly 6,000 bars, clubs and massage parlors were cramd together, making it a dream paradise for all n.
Good and evil people mixed up here.
This was the current state of Shinjuku.
When walking the streets of Shinjuku, one most likely t five kinds of people; tourists from all over the world, governnt personnel in East Island, mbers of yakuza, prostitutes, and agents of East Island.
This was Shinjuku, mixed but not chaotic, a comical and sowhat magical place.
From morning to night, it had been raining heavily in Dongdu, and there was even a tendency for the rain to get heavier.
Although there were few people on the streets of Shinjuku, the streets were crowded with vehicles. With neon lights flashing in the streets, the entire Shinjuku looked like a place full of temptation.
In the rainstorm, a young man holding an umbrella stepped into a roadside restaurant hurriedly. He folded up his umbrella and sat down at a table casually.
The young man was plain. To put it mildly, his coly and clean face was utterly unremarkable in the crowd, but his eyes were bright. Calm and gentle, he sat with a long silver tal box on his back.
Perhaps because of the weather, the restaurant had few visitors. Seeing a visitor co, a coly waitress with faint freckles on her face ca over quickly and said sothing gently and deferentially in Japanese.
The young man, who looked less than twenty years old, opened his mouth and pointed to it with an apologetic smile. His eyes were clear and he seed dumb.
The waitress was surprised and felt sorry for him from the depth of her heart for no reason. She bowed and handed the nu to the young mute in front of her.
The mute opened the nu without perusing it, pointing to the Japanese-style hot pot on the nu. He didn’t seem to think it was enough, but he just couldn’t afford more at because of his lack of money. So he simply asked for more rice balls and then handed the nu back to the waitress.
The waitress silently wrote down what he had ordered and said in a crisp voice, “Wait a mont.” Then she turned and entered the kitchen.
The young man seed to be dumb, but not deaf. After nodding his head, he took out a neatly folded docunt from his pocket and looked at it silently.
“Sanlun Tengjing, male, 39 years old, is a forr worshiper of Amaterasu Shrine and a standard militarist. As the incumbent leader of Spirit Moon Special Operations Group, he’s at the Peak of the Fire-flaming Realm. He’s cruel, capricious and fond of womanizing. He once tortured and killed many won in the na of sacrifice. He is a complete psychopath.”
A short summary was written at the top of the file and below that was a picture less than two inches in size. A middle-aged man with a cloudy expression appeared in the photo with his eyes squinted, which made people feel uncomfortable.
At the bottom of the photo was the recent intelligence on Sanlun Tengjing and where he now lived.
The young “mute” squinted at it in silence and didn’t talk for a long ti.
“Tianlan, are you in Shinjuku?
There was a rustling in his ear, and then Bai Youming’s voice ca straight into his ear through a tiny communication device.
The young “mute” swept around with composure. Since it was raining cats and dogs outside, he was the only eater in the restaurant. A man from East Island, who looked to be in his 40s or 50s, was doing accounts behind the counter, and he seed to be the owner of the restaurant.
“Hmm,” he lowered his eyelids and answered placidly.
“Sanlun Tengjing?”
Bai Youming’s voice ca again. The communication device in Li Tianlan’s ear was actually a translator with the addition of remote telephony and a location device. Li Tianlan didn’t speak Japanese, so when he went hunting alone in East Island, the language was always a big problem. This translation device was arguably what he needed most in East Island.
It was small and he could stick it into his ear directly. However, its signals were extrely sharp and clear, and it could work within 20 ters. Within 10 ters, the translator basically could collect all the information and fed it back, as long as it was not whispering. It was even more convenient than real ears. Since Li Tianlan acted alone, he didn’t need to talk at all and just needed to listen. This little thing fitted him well.
“Hmm,” Li Tianlan answered again.
“Sanlun Tengjing...”
Bai Youming said softly, hesitating a little, “That’s the power of the shrine... Now...”
The young waitress had brought the hot pot to the table, and Li Tianlan was eating silently without speaking.
He was not surprised why Bai Youming knew the object of his trip. During the hunting operation, Ye Fengcheng distributed 90 assassination targets to them. That was half of the total number.
Wang Shengxiao, Gu Hanshan, and Li Tianlan each got 30 people. The people were different, but the difficulty of the tasks was about the sa. Intentionally or unintentionally, Ye Fengcheng did not consider the strength gap between Li Tianlan and the first two people. If it was not because of Director Ye’s expectation to Li Tianlan, the aning behind it was aningful.
A list of ninety people was assigned to the three of them. People on this list were far more important than the remaining ninety people, because they were masters and powerful. If the hunting of all the forr ninety people were successful, and as the nodes disappeared one after another, the web weaved by the governnt of East Island would be largely paralyzed. As for the other ninety people, they may be of great importance, but their strength was relatively ordinary and their backgrounds were more complicated. It would be most appropriate to leave these people to the other students to hunt, and it would not take any more effort from the three of them.
There were now thirteen people in Dongdu on the list that Li Tianlan got. The rest were scattered in Ninghu, Changdao, Sendai, Mingwu and other cities. Of the 13 people in Dongdu, four were in Shinjuku, one in each direction. Sanlun Tengjing was in the north of Shinjuku. Since Bai Youming could see Li Tianlan’s locating information, it was not difficult for her to guess who he was going to attack.
“It’s okay.”
He took a bite of the at and said in a low voice.
The shrines were extrely powerful in East Island, because this was a country where theocracy mattered. Although the theocracy in East Island was under the regi and imperial power, it was definitely a force that could not be ignored.
Shinto, Amaterasu Shrine, Ise Grand Shrine, Isonokami Shrine and various other shrines stood in great numbers. The shrines were a force to be reckoned with in the Special Warfare System of East Island. Nurous shrines in East Island were very closely associated with the Yasukuni Shrine, the gathering place of militarists representing the right-wing forces. Over the years, they had even joined forces with the right-wing forces, becoming the most radical force within East Island.
At present, with the fall of Night Spirit, the voice of East Island in the Dark World had also suffered a major or even disastrous blow. The governnt of East Island was likely to select a number of people and sent them to other countries after integrating the foundation of Night Spirit in East Island.
The right-wing and shrine forces were too radical to assu any important public positions. But the Dark World was definitely the stage where they could make the most of their power.
The Spirit Moon Special Operations Group controlled by Sanlun Tengjing was a signal.
Spirit Moon Special Operations Group was not a monster, and its level was not too high. To put it seriously, it was at most equivalent to a departnt level agency in Zhongzhou State. It was, however, very special, because it was a semi-official organization. To put it simply, it was one of the local dark forces in East Island.
What was the Dark World?
It was not the real world. To be precise, where there were people from the Dark World, there was the Dark World. It was true for the saying “where there are people, there is Jianghu”.
In the hearts of ordinary people, the world was ordinary, peaceful and bright.
But in the eyes of so killers, agents, and rcenaries, the Dark World was everywhere.
Spirit Moon Special Operations Group existed for the purpose of dealing with the masters harboring evil intentions from the Dark World in East Island.
Under normal circumstances, Spirit Moon Special Operations Group had only a hundred or so mbers of staff, including the elite. But whenever needed, a myriad of masters from the Special Warfare System of East Island could enter these quasi-official agencies and contribute to the country in their own na. Even an Invincible Realm expert had done so through Spirit Moon Special Operations Group. The importance of such an agency was self-evident.
Li Tianlan put Sanlun Tengjing at the top of the hunting list. He did so not just because that Sanlun Tengjing’s strength and position together were worth 200 credits. After taking a close look at all the thirteen prey in Dongdu, he had a rough plan in mind.
Of the thirteen people, one was a master at the peak of the Thunder-shocking Realm and two were experts at the stabilization phase of the Thunder-shocking Realm.
And there were two experts at the Fulfilnt Stage of the Fire-flaming Realm.
Four Fire-flaming Realm experts.
Of the remaining four people, one was at the Ice-condensing Realm, while the other three were ordinary people who did not know anything about Martial Arts.
Not to ntion the prey in Dongdu, there were even few masters at the Thunder-shocking Realm or Fire-flaming Realm among all the 30 people on his hunting list. Li Tianlan chose to kill Sanlun Tengjing first simply because he was powerful enough. This was a tricky task and he’d better do it early. Otherwise, when he and the other two went hunting all over East Island, this country would be shocked and the smart ones would figure out their purpose. If he were to assassinate the experts on the hunting list at that ti, it would be hard.
Fire-flaming Realm and Thunder-shocking Realm.
Li Tianlan thought about the two realms in which any man was an expert, his eyes calm.
At the beginning of the hunt, he had taken the Surge that Qin Weibai brought him through Horsewoman. For the rest ti that the potion took effect, he would have the strength at the stabilization phase of the Fire-flaming Realm. Although compared with his previous peak strength, it was still a small realm or two lower, before he left the Sky Academy, he also made a major breakthrough in the Qi-controlling Realm.
Now the potion was still effective. If Li Tianlan exerted all his strength to fight, perhaps even he himself didn’t know for sure how horrible his combat strength was.
Sanlun Tengjing...
Looking at the photo on the file in his hand, Li Tianlan narrowed his eyes and smiled.
Not only Sanlun Tengjing, but the entire theocratic power of East Island would be his preferred hunting target this ti. It would be of great benefit to the following operation to extinguish the influence of this powerful and deep-rooted superpower in East Island.
“Anyway... Be careful yourself. Ye Fengcheng is an old fox, and Wang Shengxiao from the Wang family of Beihai is a young fox. Together, they pushed you to where you are now. If you cannot do it, just retreat. The two harbor ulterior motives.”
Bai Youming continued.
Li Tianlan again made a small noise in approval.
Bai Youming suddenly changed the subject and bantered with him. “Oh, I forgot to tell you that soone from the Deep-sea Academy is here. Well, Rushi is right here by my side. She wants to talk to you. Would you like to have a chat? You’re an unmarried couple. Although you haven’t t, it’s good to nurture your relationship first.”
Li Tianlan stopped breathing for a mont and the look in his eyes was complicated.
The other end of the communication device fell silent, and then a cold, soft, low voice sounded. There seed to be so mixed feelings within it.
Qin Weibai’s voice was cold, too, but it was different from this one.
Qin Weibai was really cold and indifferent, with a kind of superior holiness and ethereality.
And this voice was cold as well, but it showed an aura of ineffable pride. The speaker seed to have deliberately softened her voice, but the pride in it remained clear.
“You... Pay attention to safety, be careful.”
Dongcheng Rushi enjoined Li Tianlan. She seed to feel as if she had done her duty as a fiancee. So the next second, she cut off the communication directly.
Ah, Dongcheng Rushi...
The corners of Li Tianlan’s mouth lifted, and he ate the food on the table in silence.
