Although the other party was judged by the Snake-Ghost Eight Families because of the tragedy of their bloodline, and eventually fled in betrayal, these members came together one by one to become the Demon Clan. In a way, they are also a pitiful group of people, but they also have an extreme sense of distortion in their hearts. They feel that not only can they not integrate into this world because of their bloodline, but they also cannot integrate into their own relatives. Therefore, they are on the verge of despair and may fall into depravity at any time.
In other words, they are all dangerous elements in a certain sense. This is also what all the members of the Snake Clan believe. Moreover, once such dangerous elements control someone like Herzog, it is equivalent to controlling something more terrifying than nuclear weapons. What awaits the Snake Clan, and even the world, will be a hidden and enormous disaster. Once this disaster breaks out, it will definitely be apocalyptic.
So when Genjiro proposed to take Herzog's remains away, the originally cheerful and relaxed atmosphere suddenly became heavy, as if mercury had silently filled the space.
And this was also a trigger, Herzog was the trigger.
Both sides immediately drew their weapons and began a standoff.
It's hard to imagine that they were just sitting together eating ramen a moment ago.
At that moment, they truly put aside their so-called hatred for a brief time, and even forgot their respective positions. They only felt that being able to eat a bowl of steaming ramen and sit together in a state of extreme hunger and intense emotional turmoil was a very heartwarming thing.
But now, this heavy tension has made them realize that they are truly opposed to each other. It's not something that can be resolved by sitting down and eating a bowl of ramen together. It's an antagonism etched into their blood and bones. This antagonism cannot be erased. As long as that curse exists, it can never be wiped away.
At this moment, neither Genjiro nor Genjiro gave way. Their gazes clashed fiercely in the drizzling rain, each ready to draw their long swords and begin slashing at any moment.
At that moment, Lin Ye stepped between the two. The boy looked at the figure in the phoenix coronet and wedding robes and spoke sincerely.
"Lady Genji, I would like to ask a question. We cooperated together to resist the swarm of snake-like dead servants and even targeted Herzog together. I even confided so much to you. I believe you can see my sincerity. So I would like to make a request here."
I hope Herzog can be imprisoned in the Hebi family, not because Erii is here, nor because I am biased towards the Hebi family, but simply because it is the most stable place for Herzog to be imprisoned in the Hebi family.
As you know, Herzog has many shadow warriors, and even this one might not be the real one. If something goes wrong, the consequences could be unimaginable. I hope we can continue to cooperate in the future, instead of confronting each other like this. Our potential adversary is Herzog. If the two major powers in Tokyo continue to confront each other like this, it will only give this evil spirit an opportunity.
"I hope that from this moment on, you can set an example as the leader of the Demon Clan, is that alright, Lady Genji?"
Lin Ye's tone was very sincere, and his gaze toward Yuan Zhinu was extremely genuine. He spoke these words with neither arrogance nor servility.
As he finished speaking, the scene fell silent, with only the light rain pouring down.
Genji remained silent for a long time, as did the members of the Demon Clan. Although they were beginning to believe Lin Ye's words, given the boy's performance, their leader was Genji. If their leader disagreed, they would have no choice but to take up arms and fight.
After a long silence, Yuan Zhinv said in a cold tone, "Lin Ye, put it down. I believe in you, and I will also show my sincerity. I hope our cooperation can continue. Until we meet again."
"Thank you, definitely."
Lin Ye felt gratified and immediately reached out his hand.
Yuan Zhinv paused slightly. He had never shaken hands with anyone before, especially someone of the same sex. But at this moment, faced with Lin Ye's invitation, he still extended his hand and shook hands with the boy.
Chapter 123 You're calling me "Brother-in-law" now, so we're family! [Please subscribe!]
A light rain was falling.
The ramen chef riding his pedicab has completely disappeared into the wind and rain.
The tense standoff that had been building up earlier vanished in an instant, as if nothing had ever happened. But only the two sides knew the fear and trepidation they felt at that moment.
To be honest, neither the Snake Clan nor the Demon Clan are afraid of fighting, but they are afraid of facing their former loved ones. Although they have already made up their minds, they cannot escape when the battle begins. They can only wield their blades to judge their closest relatives. However, they are also very afraid of this scene. Yes, this is the contradiction. Perhaps this is the curse of tragedy.
As members of the Snake Clan, none of them can escape the fact that once their bloodlines clash, they will become demons, and their stance will be clearly expressed, like the division between black and white, so glaring yet so distinct.
“Yuan Zhisheng, you need to know that my compromise this time is absolutely not because of you. I will settle our score properly with you later.”
"It was a cold tone," said Yuan Zhinv.
Everyone present could hear that there was no emotion in the other person's tone, only endless coldness, as if a female ghost who had been dead for many years was confiding.
In fact, the reason why Yuan Zhi Nu made concessions was, as he said, because of Lin Ye.
Because from beginning to end, the person he wanted to cooperate with was Lin Ye.
Lin Ye's origins are mysterious, and he possesses information that is unknown to him, even knowing all the experiences of something like Herzog. Regardless of Lin Ye or the forces behind him, in Genji's eyes, they are absolutely earth-shattering. Cooperating with such a boy is entirely beneficial to the current situation of the Oni Clan, especially regarding the matter of the King General. The two can be said to have hit it off immediately.
Because Genjiro had previously harbored deep hatred for the King, believing he could kill him at any moment, he often struck first. However, he never managed to kill the King, or rather, after each attempt, the King would reappear like a demon. It wasn't until Genjiro thoroughly understood the King's so-called Shadow Warrior, his conspiracy, and even the things the King had done to him that Genjiro wanted Herzog dead. Therefore, given his current situation, Genjiro cannot do without Lin Ye. He needs Lin Ye's information and even his strength.
Although Genjiro's outburst during the previous attack on the Serpent Deadpool frenzy was terrifying, Lin Ye was equally formidable. This boy's attack power was in no way inferior to hers, and Genjiro couldn't see through Lin Ye's strength. He might have been holding back a great deal in the previous battle. Because Genjiro was sensitive, he could easily see through everyone. But when he looked at Lin Ye, he felt that the boy was shrouded in a deep mist that Genjiro couldn't see through no matter what. Even if the mist dissipated, an even deeper mist awaited him. Rather than opposing such a person, it would be better to become an ally.
And it was precisely because of this sensitivity that Genji could sense the sincerity Lin Ye expressed in his words from beginning to end, and she could even feel the boy's genuine nature. Although he was extremely ruthless in his actions against Herzog, almost like a devil, Genji could completely understand Lin Ye's mindset at the time. Because when dealing with a greater evil spirit, only the methods of an evil spirit can make the opponent fear and suppress them. Therefore, his devilish actions at that moment did not mean that Lin Ye was a real devil. On the contrary, Genji even found Lin Ye very cute, because Lin Ye's actions from beginning to end were an expression of hatred.
Herzog deeply hurt the boy's beloved girl, Erii, so Lin Ye certainly had reason to be angry. Moreover, from this point of view, Lin Ye was also very genuine and unpretentious. Because that demon hurt his beloved girl, the boy had to torture her in the most cruel way, which was completely fair. If it were Genji, he would have done the same thing, and he might even have been more ruthless than Lin Ye.
Similarly, the reason why Genji chose to compromise and give Herzog to the Hebi family was primarily because of Lin Ye, which is beyond doubt.
This is also the decisive reason.
Secondly, it's because of Erii.
Even Genjiro hadn't expected Erii's bloodline power to be so strong.
Although he knew from some intelligence about the Demon Clan that Erii possessed a powerful dragon bloodline, he didn't realize it was this powerful. The Demon Clan ambushed them tonight, intending to use the bloodline suppression drug mixed in the cherry blossoms to temporarily suppress Lin Ye and Erii's bloodlines, thus weakening them and reducing their ability to resist significantly. This would make it much easier and faster to attack them. Basically, once their bloodlines were suppressed, the Demon Clan would immediately step in and capture them. In Genji's opinion, the whole process would definitely not exceed three minutes.
However, to his surprise, Lin Ye's bloodline was completely unaffected by the cherry blossom-infused potion. Even now, he finds it unbelievable. Although Erii's bloodline was suppressed, he didn't expect that this girl's bloodline could recover so quickly and unleash such a powerful burst. In fact, in Genji's opinion, Erii's bloodline had only recovered about one-third of its original strength. Yet, even with this level of strength, the terrifying strangulation power she displayed when dealing with the serpentine death squad frenzy was simply the most terrifying judgment in the world.
Genjiro even felt that if he had been there, he would have been cut to pieces in an instant, and whether he could even survive would be a question. It was at that moment that he fully realized the terror of Erii's bloodline power. Such a powerful hybrid was also here, and completely trusted Lin Ye. If Genjiro insisted on taking Herzog away at this time, it would be absolutely irrational, and he might even lose his life here.
In addition, there is also Genjiro suppressed here.
Although this man was Genjiro's mortal enemy, it had to be admitted that he was truly strong. Only when his own bloodline went completely berserk could he be confident of suppressing Genjiro; otherwise, at best, they could only fight to a draw. It was these three factors that ultimately led Genjiro to compromise. Otherwise, why would he have made such a compromise?
After all, Herzog was also his mortal enemy.
Moreover, he is the culprit behind the tragedy of Genji's life. Even if Genji dies here, he will not let the other party leave. He will torture the other party deeply. However, as Lin Ye said, the other party has too many shadow warriors and does not even know whether the Herzog in front of him who is being tortured to the point of death is the real person. What if he alerts the enemy? Therefore, Genji must cooperate with Lin Ye, which is the biggest reason for the compromise.
“I await your reckoning, you little girl…”
Yuan Zhisheng lit a mild Seven Star cigarette, took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled the smoke after a long while.
Although this was a younger brother whom they hadn't seen for a long time, and whom Genji believed had been dead for countless years, when they finally met again, neither of them felt any emotion. What else was there to say? The causes of the past have led to the effects of the present, and no one can escape them. This was also the choice of every member of the Snake Clan. When the bloodline of the other party went out of control, they had already reached an absolute point of opposition. When they looked back, they would only be met with each other's blades.
Even if both sides shed tears of blood during this meeting, does that mean there are no barriers between them? No, absolutely not. Those barriers will never be eliminated, and they will not shed tears of blood either. If Lin Ye hadn't been here today, they would have drawn their knives against each other, and in the most brutal way possible, fighting to the death.
Seeing the two so locked in a fierce confrontation, Lin Ye sighed inwardly.
There was nothing he could do.
The hatred between Genjiro and Genjiro transcends life and death. It cannot be resolved with a few words or a simple meal of noodles. The hatred is deeply rooted in each other's hearts, and removing it requires a bloody process, which will inevitably be cruel and even tragic. Therefore, Genjiro and Genjiro cannot reconcile in the short term. Even if they want to reconcile in the future, they must remove the thorn, and the whole process will inevitably be bloody. Lin Ye was also unprepared and could not solve this thorny problem at this time.
Emotions are the most complex word in the world. There are so many kinds of emotions, and different experiences can generate different emotions. Each emotion is a deep and intense fluctuation in the heart, so how can it be easily resolved? It's like a wealthy person suddenly going bankrupt. If you comfort them by telling them to be open-minded and optimistic about life, do you really think they will be optimistic? They might even become depressed.
In the end, Genji left.
The Ghosts' helicopter arrived.
Genjiro was the first to leave by helicopter. Before leaving, he didn't forget to tell Lin Ye, "See you later, I hope we can cooperate again soon." Lin Ye naturally agreed enthusiastically. However, he didn't say a single word to Genjiro during the whole process, even though the future cooperation represented the cooperation between the Snake Clan and the Demon Clan.
Just before leaving, Genjiro took a deep look at Genjiro, as if she wanted to remember everything about him, but her gaze was not affectionate, but cold.
Yuan Zhisheng leaned against the railing, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, letting the smoke rise and be carried away by the wind and rain. He watched the helicopter disappear into the distance until it finally vanished on the horizon.
"They've already left, why bother looking at them? If you have something you want to say to them, why not say it then?"
Lin Ye walked over, leaned his back against the railing, and tentatively asked.
"What needed to be said and done has already come to a complete end all those years ago."
Yuan Zhisheng said with a sigh.
Lin Ye wisely kept his mouth shut. He was just testing Yuan Zhisheng's attitude. It was obvious that the other party did not want to talk about this matter anymore. The other party already had the only answer in his heart, so no matter what he said now, he could not persuade him, nor was the time right.
The Hebi-Hachi family's helicopter was also arriving soon, so the Hebi-Hachi family's executives started pulling nails out of Herzog's body. Because he was impaled on the telephone pole by long nails, they needed to pull the nails out before taking Herzog away.
They were equally excited as they pulled out the nails, because each time a nail was pulled out, the other person would scream again, and blood would spurt out. They didn't know what the other person's body was made of, as the blood seemed to flow endlessly. Every time a long nail was pulled out, shattered flesh would spray out from the wound, which was incredibly exciting.
A light rain was falling, and the people of the Snake Clan were busy at work. In the distance, Erii was carrying a tray with a few unfinished duck necks on it, and she was gnawing on them with relish, occasionally feeding Lin Ye a few bites.
Yuan Zhisheng and Lin Ye stood side by side, watching the waves rise and fall in the distance.
"Brother-in-law, don't you have anything you want to ask?"
After a long silence, Lin Ye asked first.
He knew that he must have been involved in persuading Genji this time, and he also knew about Herzog's affairs. In fact, Herzog already knew that he was the one who had brutally murdered Tachibana Masamune at the Snake-Headed Eight Families Shrine, and that he had played a part in all of this.
But even now, Genji has never asked.
"Lin Ye, what did you just call me?"
Genjiro asked a question in return.
"Brother-in-law."
Genji said, "Yes, you've already called me brother-in-law, so we're family now. I've seen everything you've done, and I know it's all for Erii and for the stability of the Hebi family. If you had selfish motives, the Hebi family's situation might be even worse than it is now. So I believe in you. I know you have a story and secrets. From the very beginning, I was very moved that someone with unparalleled swordsmanship could become a gigolo. From that moment on, I had the answer in my heart."
Yuan Zhisheng looked thoughtful, as if he had seen through everything long ago.
"You have a better answer!"
Lin Ye thought to himself, "This is what I'm thinking."
The reason he became a male escort in Takamagahara was genuinely because he was working! Although he was somewhat forced into it.
But on the surface, Lin Ye coughed twice awkwardly to cover it up.
Yuan Zhisheng continued, "Lin Ye, you don't need to worry too much. I know you don't want to say it now, but when the time is right, I think you will say it yourself. Or you can simply never say it. I just hope that you can be safe and sound, and that your future with Erii can be sweet and beautiful. That is my most beautiful blessing as your brother-in-law."
The man smoked a Gentle Seven Star cigarette, the sparks flickering in the darkness, the smoke swirling around him.
Genjiro's face was shrouded in smoke, obscuring his expression, and the atmosphere fell silent.
Neither of them spoke until the Hebi-hachi family's helicopter landed.
It's time to leave.
Coo coo coo all day
Something came up.
Chapter 124 Cao Cao! [Please Subscribe]
Tick, tick, tick...
Various medical devices emitted very regular sounds, and the electronic screen of the electroencephalogram displayed a fluctuating curve. Apart from that, there was no other sound in the ward, and the atmosphere was filled with silence.
On the hospital bed lay a body that could barely be identified as human, though perhaps calling it a corpse would be more accurate.
Because the patient's entire body was completely eroded, as if it had been corroded by strong acid, and his body was covered with holes that looked like they had been pierced by long nails. Then, these nails were pulled out. These nails had pierced through various organs and should not have been pulled out, since pulling them out could cause the patient to bleed to death instantly. However, the rescuer may have been completely careless or simply didn't care and casually pulled out these nails.
If these horrific injuries were piled up together, they could kill a normal person in just ten seconds. Even the most powerful hybrid would only be able to linger on for ten minutes at most after emergency treatment, and would also die a very miserable death, because such injuries would definitely cause the patient to have difficulty breathing, severe pain all over the body, and loss of consciousness.
Before death, one experiences a feeling of suffocation, being crushed, or even being blown up. In short, one can imagine all sorts of gruesome ways to die, all piled up on the patient at this moment. Rather than letting such a person continue to live, it is better to give them a quick death so that they can be freed. Because any normal person can see that this patient is completely beyond saving, and letting them continue to breathe in this world will only add endless suffering.
But no one in the ward wanted this outcome. They were constantly putting pressure on the medical staff to do everything they could to save the patient, even if it was just to help the patient hold on for a little longer.
