Chapter 456 Leaving without Saying Goodbye
Too light.
In the past, with the brutal methods of the boss, a person like him who betrayed the family would at least have to sink into Tokyo Bay.
Now he is only under house arrest in Sailing Village, but he can still save his life.
Thinking about it, it's probably because of the young master.
The person in power has a great influence on the people below. If the person in power is gentle, the people who implement it will also be gentle.
Although he has been guarding the Sailing Village all year round, my father has also heard about the name of the young master Yuan Zhisheng. He is a very powerful character. Although he is a little weaker than the elders, the era of the eight families of Sheqi has passed. What they need now is not a strong leader.
Yuan Zhisheng is like this, just right.
As he thought about it, Dad couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
He is a sinner, and he will never get out of the Sailing Village for the rest of his life. The family has also cut off all his information channels.
There was no need for him to worry about such a big matter as the successor of the Eight Sheqi Family.
From then on, my father used crutches and bent his waist like a real old man.
He lost interest in things in the village and just basked in the sun and took a walk.
He didn't need to worry about the village, and he didn't know who had spread the news. No one mentioned anything about Miwako again.
All the villagers remained silent.
Pepper's temperament changed drastically.
Dad had met this child several times and never saw Pepper smile again. She had a stinky face, as if everyone in the village owed her money.
hehe.
This is actually true.
Everyone in the village owes this child a debt, right?
The father asked Xiao Yantian to take good care of the child.
It's just that Little Pepper's strength and stubbornness are beyond imagination. She never accepts help from the villagers and survives alone.
"Escaped again?"
Dad sighed.
Pepper tried to escape from the sailboat village several times, but failed every time and was captured after not being able to escape far.
"Don't do unnecessary things, Chigui."
The voice on the phone was cold.
"I see."
Dad's waist became even more bent.
He thought of the day Miwako was taken away.
"Grandpa, after I cure my illness, can I come back?"
"grandfather……"
The room fell silent.
It has been a long time since Dad finished speaking.
Lu Mingfei said nothing. He was giving the old man time to calm down his excitement.
The violent chest heaving gradually returned to calm.
Dad took two deep breaths.
"It made you laugh."
"It's fine."
"Ah."
Dad grinned.
"Kid, those gangsters in Xiaoyantian don't know what it means to leave the village."
"If you follow Watanabe's car, you will be taken away as soon as you leave the Sailing Village."
"If you want to go to Tokyo, I have a way here."
"You saved Xiao Yantian's life, so it's appropriate to send you to Tokyo."
"How about it? Let's go?"
Lu Mingfei smiled.
"Old man, you haven't finished speaking yet."
"I want to hear other options."
Dad's eyes flashed with light.
"Other options..."
He pondered, and then spoke in an incomprehensible tone.
"I heard from Xiao Yantian that you have lost your memory and must go to Tokyo."
"So what are you doing now?"
"Some things have to be done."
Lu Mingfei said.
"Um."
Dad responded.
"I think you can probably guess the other options."
"I don't know the specific location of the mental hospital that Miwako went to."
"But someone knows."
He clapped his hands lightly.
The door was pushed open from the outside.
Lu Mingfei turned around to look. There was no surprise on his face, only curiosity.
The villagers forced three people in. They were tied tightly and their mouths were stuffed with rags.
The villagers pushed and the three people fell to the ground. "Dad!"
The leader took a step forward and nodded to Lu Mingfei.
Lu Mingfei was slightly surprised. Isn't this guy the first mate's brother?
"People are here."
"Sorry for the trouble, go down and rest."
"yes!"
The villagers filed out, not forgetting to close the door before leaving.
Dad stood up and walked to the three people on the ground.
The big candle flickered, and the room flickered. His old face was lined with wrinkles. It was obviously a calm expression, but it looked like an evil ghost walking out of an ukiyo-e painting.
Snowy light flashed.
Dad has the knife in his hand.
The three people on the ground had their mouths blocked and could not speak. They could only squirm on the ground like maggots and whine for mercy.
"Kid, I heard Xiao Yantian tell you what you are capable of."
"It's amazing."
Dad nodded with emotion.
"To be honest, old guy, I have never seen a character as powerful as you in my entire life."
"But you encountered a siren."
"Let me ask you, if your opponent is a human, can you still kill them all?"
He turned his back to Lu Mingfei, calmed down, and waited for a long time.
In Dad's opinion, Lu Ming is either great or powerful, but his age has always been there. A young man has seen a lot of the world, and it is normal for him to have the innocence and soft-heartedness that he should have at this age.
But what Lu Mingfei was going to do next would not allow him to be merciful in the slightest.
It's silence.
Dad thought.
No one would hesitate to kill all the same kind.
He could understand Lu Mingfei's mood at this moment.
But what the father, who had his back to Lu Mingfei, didn't see was that the look on Lu Mingfei's face at this moment was not hesitation as he expected, but reminiscence.
If the opponent is a human, can he still... kill them all?
Lu Mingfei recalled his days in Kyushu.
If he told his father how the name Yama came about, he would probably not ask Lu Mingfei such unobjectionable questions again.
After presumably giving Lu Mingfei enough time to think, his father continued on by himself.
"Kid, you just said there are other options, right?"
"If I'm not mistaken, you want to bring Miwako back."
"listen."
Dad said quietly.
"The next thing you have to face is the family with the name of Feng Mo."
"The Fengma family retains the most complete ninja heritage."
"They not only train people of their own clan, but also take in orphans, look for talented hybrids, and conduct ninja training from an early age to cultivate qualified..."
Dad was silent for a long time.
"tool."
"In the final analysis, ninjas are guys who are willing to sacrifice their lives to complete the mission. They have been trained like hell since they were young, and they have been instilled with twisted thoughts by the Fuma family. Under the terrifying elimination rate of one out of three or even one out of ten, they can finally grow up. The adult, the guy who survived all the ninja training, is no longer a human being, but a tool to complete the mission."
Lu Mingfei understood clearly, wasn't what his father said the dead soldiers raised by certain sects in Kyushu?
During the years when Lu Mingfei was fighting in Kyushu, he saw countless similar guys.
The education a person received when he was a child will have an impact on him, not to mention the death warrior ninja, which completely distorts human nature and trains people into tools. Even the little emperor has to admit that the death warrior cannot be saved.
Even if you destroy their sect and give them freedom, they still don't know what they can do or what they should do.
Lu Mingfei once saw a dead soldier who almost starved to death for three days and three nights even though he was free and had no one to care about him. The reason was that he was not allowed to eat.
Apart from completing tasks, they, as tools, find no meaning in their lives. Perhaps you can only find the real feeling of being alive by recording your words and deeds every day.
Come to think of it, ninjas are in a similar situation.
"So, I hope you will when facing the ninjas of the Fuuma family."
"Don't be soft."
Dad paused for a moment.
He looked at the three people who were already huddled in the corner.
Dad grinned.
The eyes of the three of them were more horrified than the other.
Suddenly, the rag that someone was gagging on fell off.
He took a couple of breaths in embarrassment.
"Spare your life!"
"Spare your life, dad!"
"I'm just doing errands for my family!"
"You know, my family's order is that Miwako is a ghost and must leave."
He burst into tears and banged his head on the ground. Seeing that his father was indifferent, he walked on the ground with his knees. He fell down several times and got up tenaciously. Finally, he reached his father's feet and kowtowed.
Dad looked down at him.
I can't tell what this glance means.
Dad turned his head and looked at Lu Mingfei.
He was slightly surprised.
Lu Mingfei's calmness was beyond his father's expectation.
Lu Mingfei nodded with a smile, stretched out his hand, and made a gesture of please.
Dad responded with a smile.
The two communicated like polite gentlemen.
Then the next second, the older gentleman among the two kicked the man on the ground.
"asshole!"
Dad drank so much that his hair and beard were bulging.
The villagers watching downstairs looked at each other with admiration in each other's eyes.
Sure enough, no matter how many years have passed, dad's tongue is still as sharp as ever!
"You guy!"
Dust fell from the ceiling.
Dad stepped on the man's palm.
"Tell the news to my family!"
"betray me!"
"You have taken a fancy to my position!"
"asshole!"
The father straightened the man's fingers. He seemed to know what would happen to him next. His eyes widened, his face was covered with snot and tears, and he twisted wildly, shouting "Spare my life" and "I was wrong". I'm sorry" or something like that.
Dad smiled.
"You know what the price of betrayal is, right?"
He frowned and looked at Lu Mingfei, who was approaching.
"Kid."
"Why, are you soft-hearted?"
"Do you want to plead for this guy?"
"Uh, no."
Lu Mingfei scratched his head.
Dad's face became darker.
Just listen to what Lu Mingfei said.
"This guy was struggling so much that I thought I could come over and see if there was anything I could do to help."
The wrinkles on Dad's face relaxed.
"No need."
he said gently.
"Even though the old guy is old, he still has the strength to enforce family laws."
"Isn't it just a few fingers?"
…………
Lu Mingfei met the first mate brother who was smoking downstairs.
He led his men to guard here. When he looked up and saw Lu Mingfei, a smile suddenly appeared on his serious face.
"Come down, little brother."
"It's too noisy upstairs."
"I can't help it, this is my only hobby."
Lu Mingfei greeted with a smile.
Lu Mingfei didn't say that he didn't ask for it, but his father asked him to come down. He probably guessed his father's purpose of doing this, so that Lu Mingfei could gradually bleed into the same kind of blood. In this way, when Lu Mingfei faced people from the Feng Mo family, When you do this, you won't show mercy.
It’s just that Dad feels like he underestimated this kid. He obviously looks like he is just a young man, but no matter how bloody the methods are, this kid will not frown in front of Lu Mingfei. This is not a fantasy movie, this is real. What happened in front of him showed that this kid named Lu Mingfei had an astonishingly strong psychological quality.
Dad made a judgment for Lu Mingfei.
At the same time, he was filled with excitement.
If it were Lu Mingfei, it wouldn't be a fantasy to bring Miwako back to the Fengma family's territory.
Of course, there is a prerequisite for this.
That is, what Xiao Yantian said about Lu Mingfei's achievements at sea was all true.
Originally, it was to let Lu Mingfei get the blood of the same kind, but the kid's psychological quality was so strong that it was meaningless to see blood, so the father let Lu Mingfei come down first.
"Speak of it."
Lu Mingfei and the first mate brother stayed in the corner.
He pointed upstairs.
"they are……"
"oh."
The first mate didn't care. "I used to follow my father, but later I joined my family."
"There are a few damn people, brother, don't worry about them."
Lu Mingfei nodded.
This statement is exactly what he thought.
Although my father tried his best to conceal it, my family still learned about Miwako's existence. Someone in the village must have bypassed my father and reported it directly to the superiors.
Dad is the guard of Sailing Village, but this does not mean that Dad is the only one from the Sheqi family in Sailing Village. He has many subordinates, including the three upstairs and the ones here who help look after the wind.
"You just happened to be here too."
The first mate brother said to Lu Mingfei.
"Dad is busy, I have something to tell you first."
He introduced the situation in the past few days and what Lu Mingfei would do next.
The Sonny did not follow formal procedures when it returned to port. After all, there was Lu Mingfei on the ship, and he did not have an identity that could withstand investigation. He could just tell Uncle Iwata and the others about the amnesia. Do you think the customs people believe it? Bar.
Lu Mingfei didn't pay attention at first. This was because of the lack of information. He had never seen the sea in Kyushu, let alone the identity issue.
The Sonny took a secret passage in the sailing village, and the first mate was there, cleverly hiding Lu Mingfei's identity.
But over the past few days, Lu Mingfei was investigating Miwazi on the side, and it stands to reason that our family should have gotten the news long ago.
But the fact is that there is none.
Dad knew Lu Mingfei's purpose from the beginning.
He has always been brooding about Miwako being taken away, and Lu Mingfei seems to have the same idea. The two have the same interests. The reason why dad didn't come to the door right away was because he was waiting for his family to come to him. reaction.
Dad wants to see how our family will deal with Lu Mingfei.
But after a few days, there was no movement from my side, and my father had a suspicion in his mind.
Something must have happened to my family.
At least there's something wrong with the messaging channel.
Dad suddenly had an idea.
Especially after he verified this guess, he started to prepare.
He wants to bring Miwako back.
"Can't you contact me?"
Lu Mingfei asked.
"Well, it seems to be a network problem."
The first mate brother said distressedly.
"I'm not very sure. Anyway, the current situation is that we have lost contact with my family, and they can't control the Sailing Village for the time being."
"in this way."
The noise upstairs quieted down.
The two men looked up.
"Dad it's over."
"Um."
"Would you like to go up and take a look?"
Several villagers on lookout looked at each other with unnatural expressions.
"Haha, forget it."
"Let Dad rest."
"Come on, let's have a cup of tea."
The first mate shook his head secretly.
These guys.
Although he had such thoughts, he remained motionless.
He is not a pervert and has no interest in such bloody scenes.
""Who will give Dad a glass of water...
This question is stuck here, and everyone has a tacit agreement to remain silent.
There was no other way, the first mate had a grimace and prepared to stand up.
"give it to me."
Lu Mingfei picked up the water glass and walked up the stairs.
The villagers were stunned.
"As expected of someone who even admires that guy, little brother."
Brother Dafu thought of his always arrogant younger brother, who came back from the sea this time, and when he mentioned Lu Mingfei, the admiration on his younger brother's face came from the bottom of his heart.
"That's not bad."
…………
When Lu Mingfei returned, Xiaolai Lao fell asleep on the dining table.
On the table are dishes kept warm.
When I touched it, it felt cold.
Lu Mingfei looked at Little Pepper for a long time.
This feeling of someone waiting for you to eat is quite unfamiliar.
Lu Mingfei carried Little Pepper back to her room and covered the child with a quilt.
"I won't leave! I won't leave!"
When Lu Mingfei picked up Little Pepper, she was still struggling and talking vaguely in her sleep.
"Go back to sleep."
"You'll catch a cold if you sit down."
Little Pepper struggled a few times, then stopped moving, and obediently allowed Lu Mingfei to carry her to bed.
I didn't expect this child to be so noisy normally, but he seemed to be quite well-behaved while sleeping.
Lu Mingfei thought.
After covering Little Pepper with the quilt, Lu Ming insisted on leaving, and suddenly used the moonlight to see clearly the marks on her pillow.
These are tears.
Lu Mingfei stood for a while.
"Miwako..."
A tear dropped from the corner of Little Pepper's eye.
She turned over.
It turned out to be sleep talking.
Lu Mingfei said goodbye to Little Pepper silently.
He didn't make a sound, just gestured.
"Goodbye, Pepper."
There was nothing that needed to be taken. Only fragments of the most important bronze mask were left, which were placed in a brocade bag and placed close to the body. There was no need for anything else.
Outside the door, Uncle Iwata was waiting in his car.
He didn't honk, but just turned on his headlights to signal Lu Mingfei.
The rear window rolled down, revealing Dad's vicissitudes of life.
He nodded to Lu Mingfei.
"Kid."
"Old guy, I'll give you a ride."
Uncle Iwata in the front seat muttered.
"What do you call this? It's not auspicious at all."
Lu Mingfei didn't care.
If it meant giving him a ride or something, it meant the underworld, then to Lu Mingfei, it was almost like going home, it was so kind.
The car started slowly and drove into the night.
"Kid, why don't you wait?"
"It's the same thing if we leave tomorrow."
"At least say goodbye to the kid properly."
"Haha, no, no, no."
"Say goodbyes and stuff like that, I can't handle this the most."
"Besides, it's not like we'll never see each other again."
"Next time, she will be very happy when we meet that child next time."
"Bring Miwako back?"
"that's for sure."
"What an amazing momentum, kid."
"Then, I'll leave it to you."
"I wish you good luck in martial arts."
…………
Pepper woke up with a yawn.
She blinked, and the surrounding environment came into view. Slowly, her eyes opened wider and wider.
"Damn it!"
Didn't she remember that she was in the chair before falling asleep?
Why are you escaping under the quilt now!
What...what's going on...
Some fragmentary memories came to mind.
Pepper's face turned red and her fists clenched loudly.
"Lu Mingfei! You guy..."
She ran upstairs and kicked open the door.
"Lu Mingfei, you guy, what on earth..."
The roar stopped abruptly.
Pepper looked blankly at the empty sheets.
She ran downstairs in a hurry.
Room after room.
"No……"
"No……"
Not here either! ""
The door banged hard against the wall, making a clanging sound.
Pepper searched all over the house and couldn't find the damn guy.
Until she saw a note on the table.
Did that guy keep it?
With this thought, Pepper picked up the note.
"I'm sorry for leaving without saying goodbye."
"First of all, let me make it clear that this is not an escape."
"Of course I remember to teach you martial arts."
"a man of his words."
"Something just had to be done."
"Anyway, how about bringing you a gift next time we meet?"
"Trust me, you'll love it."
Pepper put down the note and lowered her head.
"Gift?"
"Do you think I'm a child?"
"Really..."
"Who cares about this kind of thing?"
"Smug guy."
…………
"Dad."
"Um."
"There is news that I think you need to know about."
The first mate kneels down in front of dad.
"It's about Lu Mingfei."
Dad became interested.
"About that brat."
"What's the matter? Tell me."
"One of our crew members told me that when he was browsing the hunter website, he saw a post about searching for Kassel's missing S-class."
"That S-level guy's name is Lu Mingfei."
You can hear needle drops in the room.
Dad pondered for a long time.
"That's it, S-class."
He sighed.
"Kassel?"
"What do you think about this matter?"
"Do you think the S-class missing in Cassel and our kid are the same person?"
The first mate has obviously thought about this problem for a long time.
"no."
"But it's weird."
The first mate gives his reasons.
"If they are the same person, why do they still use Lu Mingfei's name? Cassel's S-class came to Japan probably because he had a secret mission. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to go to such trouble. Cassel's S-class It is already an existence that even the big shots of the family have to take seriously, and perhaps even the young master of the family has to welcome him personally. I never thought that Cassel would have to use the name of missing to make the situation uproar. "
"So, I don't think they're the same person."
"But it's weird."
The first mate pondered.
"Kassel's S-class is very strong, and the one we met is also very strong. They both happen to be named Lu Mingfei. Is there really such a coincidence in this world?"
"You just think too much."
Dad spoke slowly.
"How many times have I told you not to make things too complicated."
"yes!"
The first mate lowered his head in a gesture of understanding.
"At the end of the day, old man, I'm just a roughneck."
"I didn't expect all these twists and turns."
"Old guy, that's all I know."
"Slaying dragons again, and fighting off swarms of sea monsters."
"It is impossible for two Lu Mingfei in the world to do such an exaggerated thing at the same time."
The first mate mused.
"In other words, Dad, you think he is Kassel's S-class."
"Um."
Dad's tone was solemn.
"Do you know why we can't contact our family?"
"There's something wrong with the network in this land."
"Kaguya and Norma are at war."
The first mate looked up sharply.
In the past few days, the Sailing Village has not been able to log in to the Internet normally. This was the first time he heard the news. Kaguya and Norma actually went to war. This incident greatly shocked the first officer's heart.
What are we going to do?
Is there going to be a war with Kassel?
