The Man Standing on Top of the Food Chain - Chapter 240
[Chapter 49 World-class Crisis (3)]
Tonight is his last day in Kyoto, and he has already bought a ticket for ten o’clock in the evening.
Thinking about his ambition when he first came to Kyoto when he was young, and then running into obstacles in reality, as well as the recent series of bizarre encounters, he was in a very bad mental state. Just like that, I walked dejectedly towards the rented house.
But when Takeuchi Seita turned a corner, he suddenly saw the back of a woman in white under the dim street light. There was nothing strange about this at first, but less than a few seconds after Takeuchi Seita saw the woman, the woman in white suddenly disappeared.
The woman took a step towards her side just like an ordinary person, but this step was like going to another world, disappearing directly from Seita Takeuchi’s eyes.
Cold sweat covered Seita Takeuchi’s back in an instant, and he suddenly rushed over and came to the place where the woman in white was fighting.
‘Damn it, did it happen again? ‘ Takeuchi Seita, who was thinking here, looked around, as if trying to find the trace of the woman in white. Suddenly a white shadow appeared in the corner of his eyes, and the other party had disappeared around the corner of an alley.
‘over there! ‘
‘Don’t let anything happen!
Takeuchi Seita quickly ran towards the corner of the alley, but when he arrived there, his eyes widened with surprise on his face . Because the alley in front of him was a dead end, and there was no one in it.
‘what happened? Did you obviously see him coming in here? ’
Just as Takeuchi Seita was looking left and right, looking for the woman, a hand patted his shoulder. A woman’s voice sounded from behind him: “What are you doing?”
The voice startled Takeuchi Seita. He turned around suddenly and saw a girl in white standing behind him. The girl has long brown hair tied into a ponytail. The unique gray pupils and the tall nose bridge form a mysterious face. Charming face.
‘Are they foreigners? ‘
The rare beauty made Takeuchi Seita feel a little embarrassed for a moment, and he said slowly: “Are you okay? Are you injured?”
Takeuchi Seita, who was too shy, did not notice that when he turned around, the ponytail girl’s face There was a look of surprise on his face, and his eyes were fixed on his chest.
The girl took the initiative to introduce: “Hello, my name is Emma. What’s your name.”
“My name is Takeuchi Seita.” Takeuchi Seita smiled awkwardly: “It’s not very safe here recently. You are a girl so late. It’s better to go home quickly.”
“Really?” Emma was noncommittal, but she was full of doubts in her heart. According to the calculations of the technical department, this place is in front of us. This is the location where Daxia Longque’s investigators in Kyoto last lost contact, but so far, she, Hansen, and Pink have checked everywhere and found nothing wrong.
But just now, the Dongyang man in front of her gave her an unexpected clue. I saw a line of writing composed of mind energy on the chest of the man’s coat. A message that can only be seen by those with abilities.
‘Is this… written by Yan Bei? All are Daxia Longque’s codes, and it takes some effort to decipher them. Emma stared closely at the man’s chest, memorizing all the codes written on the man’s chest with her mind.
But Emma looked too long. Even Seita Takeuchi noticed something was wrong. He looked down at his coat, patted it with his hands, and said sheepishly: “I’ve been wearing this dress for almost a week. It’s a little dirty, I’m sorry.” But right
now After Seita Takeuchi said this, Emma grabbed his palm and said coldly: “Don’t move.” Then she covered his chest with her hand.
Naturally, Takeuchi Seita didn’t know that the other party was erasing the writing on his chest. In his opinion, the exotic beauty in front of him suddenly started touching his chest.
‘No…it won’t. ‘
‘Could it be that God can’t bear to see me so unlucky? ‘
‘What if he wants to leave me later? ‘
‘Damn. I no longer have the money to rent a house. Will she dislike it if I take her back to the rental house? ‘
Just when Takeuchi Seita’s face turned red and his mind was thinking wildly, Emma’s palm had already left his chest. He took out a mobile phone from his arms and asked: “What is your phone number?”
Takeuchi Seita was so nervous that he reported a series of numbers. After Emma pressed a few times, the phone rang in Takeuchi Seita’s pants pocket.
Emma said calmly: “This is my phone number. If you encounter anything special, just call me on this number.” Takeuchi Qingta took out his mobile phone and started
operating it, and said: “Okay… okay , what do you mean by special things?” Halfway through the words, when Takeuchi Seita raised his head, the girl with the ponytail had disappeared.
A gust of cold wind blew, making Takeuchi Aotai shiver.
‘Could you encounter a ghost? ‘But he looked at the phone number displayed on his mobile phone. It was so real and true, but he was unsure.
Just worried about gains and losses, Seita Takeuchi had already returned to his home in Kyoto. It was a single room of less than ten square meters. The housing prices in Kyoto are too expensive. Even in this location close to the suburbs, Seita Takeuchi can only afford to rent ten square meters with his income.
Although the space is small, all the internal organs are present. The small single room not only has air conditioning, a refrigerator, a natural gas stove, but also a toilet and shower room separated by plastic boards.
But tonight, everything in the room has been put away, leaving only a few boxes at the door.
Looking at the room where he spent a year, thinking about the hard work and efforts of this year, Takeuchi Seita sighed softly: “Are you going to leave after all?” Shaking his head, Takeuchi Seita seemed to be leaving
. The hesitation in his heart shook out of his head, he picked up his suitcase and walked out of the door. After taking one last look at the room where he had lived for a year, he closed the door and left without looking back.
It’s already eleven o’clock in the evening. On the small road in the suburbs, Seita Takeuchi was the only one walking under the dim street lights. He couldn’t help but think of the girl in white who had just appeared.
I hesitated in my mind: ‘Should I make a call now?
But she asked me to call her if I have something special to do. If I call her now, will it make her angry? ‘
While Seita Takeuchi was thinking so wildly, he didn’t notice that the cell phone in his trouser pocket was vibrating, and unknowingly, he seemed to be walking further and further away from the originally bright street. I don’t know why all the street lights are broken today. In the dim light, everything seems a little unreal.
A whooshing sound suddenly sounded.
Before Takeuchi Seita could react, a loud shout came from behind him.
“Be careful!”
An arm grabbed his arm, and the unimaginable huge force dragged him forward. Then there was a flash of black light. When Takeuchi Seita reacted, he found that he had already arrived several hundred meters away. external location.
He looked next to him in shock. Emma, the foreign girl just now, was grabbing his arm and looking at the position with a wary expression.
Takeuchi Seita followed her gaze. He saw a man standing where he had been standing just now. The man was wearing a black tight-fitting suit, a mask on his head, and holding a metal dagger in his hand. He looked like a legendary ninja.
Unlike Seita Takeuchi who was completely confused, Emma was extremely wary of men.
Just now, she memorized the password left by Yan Bei, rushed back to meet with Hansen and Pink, and then decoded it. Because she originally thought that Yan Bei left it on the nearby residents casually as a clue for him.
But after decoding it, she only got four words. That is the ‘potion of immortality’. The code for reading energy on Seita Takeuchi’s body is just four words with no clue.
In doubt, Emma thought about it and decided to go to Takeuchi Seita. But no one answered the call, so Emma could only release her mind energy to scan. Fortunately, Seita Takeuchi did not go far, but when she found the other party, she saw a man dressed like a killer attacking Seita Takeuchi from behind. It was a critical moment. She used space teleportation to save Seita Takeuchi.
The masked man sneered, but didn’t say anything more the next second. Already disappeared from Emma’s sight.
“Is it invisible?” Just when Emma was thinking this, a surprising wave of hostility came towards the back of her head. When she turned around, the tip of the metal dagger was already less than half a meter away from her.
At the critical moment, a dark circular portal opened in front of the dagger, and at the same time another circular portal appeared behind the head of the man in black. When he stabbed the entire dagger through, the dagger passed directly through the portal and stabbed towards the back of his head.
Another series of sneers came from the mouth of the man in black, and he disappeared and then appeared again.
The same angle, the same dagger, but this time the aiming position became Emma’s vest.
Seeing the man in black attack twice strangely, a name well-known in the Western Continent appeared in Emma’s mind.
‘Samael. ‘
‘Tyrell’s national-level ability user organization, one of the fifth-level ability users of Annihilation Abyss, nicknamed the Void Walker. ‘
‘It is known as one of the most difficult to kill ability users in the world. ‘
‘Ability…to move instantly. ‘
A series of messages sounded in Emma’s mind, but she had no time to think about why two fifth-level ability users appeared in the suburbs of Kyoto at the same time.
Facing the opponent’s strange offensive, she took Seita Takeuchi and stepped forward. In the flash of black light, the two of them disappeared.
There was a bang, and Takeuchi Seita’s suitcase was only halfway in before it was scratched by a metal dagger and turned into countless fragments.
Looking at the deserted streets, the man in black once again let out a series of sneers, and uttered his first words since appearing: “Can you escape?”…
When
Emma’s investigation in Kyoto gradually deepened At that time, Li Anping was attending a meeting in Tianjing. The content of the meeting was related to the marriage plan he had proposed before.
He was sitting at the head of the conference table, holding a booklet in his hand. On his left is the current patriarch of the nine royal families. On the right side are the leaders of Daxia Longque led by Yagyu Sheng and Liu Feng.
In ordinary people’s families, marriage is a big event. What’s more, it’s Li Anping, the uncrowned king of Great Xia. His marriage issue is related to the rise and fall of the entire Daxia, and even the entire Eastern Continent.
But no one can force him to choose. Everything depends on Li Anping’s own will. So the book in his hand now lists all the backup candidates that the nine royal families and Daxia Longque think are no problem, allowing Li Anping to use them as a reference. (To be continued…)
