Then he set fire to the Tokyo Tower parking lot, burning all the Deadpools to death.
Genjiro remembered his promise to Sakura. They had agreed to go on a beach vacation in France together after this matter was over. He had feelings for Sakura and knew that Sakura liked him.
Perhaps, they will even walk hand in hand into the hall of marriage.
But now there's nothing left, it's all over.
As the head of the Snake Clan, he seemed destined to be alone, with no one by his side.
……
Sakura Yabuki slowly opened her eyes, looking at the rainy sky with some confusion.
Logically, falling from a height of 300 meters should have resulted in her being smashed to pieces, but now, she seems to be alive.
The place where she is sitting now appears to be an iron shed on the roof of a detached house. Raindrops are falling on her head, making a 'drip drip drip' sound. It is a semi-open space. Looking out, you can see Tokyo Tower, which is only about 300 meters away.
What happened in the end?
"Yes, there's no doubt about it. You didn't die; I saved you."
A familiar voice rang in Sakura Yabuki's ears. She vaguely remembered it and turned around to see a handsome young man sitting next to her, but she couldn't make out his features.
He held a long strip of matches in his hand, the kind specifically used to light cigars. He struck one and threw it into a large iron bucket not far away.
The large iron barrel seemed to have been filled with dry firewood or other flammable materials beforehand, and it was instantly ignited by a match. The flames shot up more than a meter high, and in the firelight, Sakura Yabuki could clearly see the person's face.
It's Gu Ran.
Sakura Yabuki had many questions in her mind, such as how she got here, why Gu Ran brought her here after saving her, and what his purpose was.
"Miss Ying, take off your clothes," Gu Ran said with a half-smile.
Ying frowned slightly. For a moment, she thought Gu Ran and Crow were the same kind of people, both despicable and shameless scoundrels who wanted to take advantage of her.
But when she looked down, she saw the bloodstains on her body and a brazier that Gu Ran had specially lit, and she immediately understood.
So, in front of Gu Ran, she began to take off her clothes.
"How bold!" Gu Ran turned around, his back to Ying, pretending he hadn't been peeking.
Miss Sakura has a slender figure, but her breasts are not very big, which seems to be because she didn't eat enough when she was a child, so they didn't develop well.
Her skin bears many scars, all from the war in Afghanistan.
Gu Ran's rescue of Ying was quite simple. The person who was sniping with Lu Mingfei on the rooftop was actually a shadow clone. Gu Ran's real body was actually hunting down the assassins and collecting blood samples.
Gu Ran killed the dozens of Deadpools in the elevator. He used the Thousand Birds Stream to paralyze all the Deadpools in the elevator, and then cut off the back of their necks one by one, while collecting blood samples.
Gu Ran didn't know how many Death Servants Herzog had deployed today, but he himself had killed more than eighty Death Servants today.
When Sakura fell from the top of the tower, Gu Ran was actually at the bottom of the tower, hiding the whole time.
As Sakura was about to fall to the ground, he first used the illusion technique Dark Travel to temporarily blind the crow. This illusion technique is very effective at night. A moment of blindness will make people temporarily disoriented and unable to distinguish between reality and being under an illusion.
The moment the crow went blind, Gu Ran immediately rushed forward and caught the falling Sakura, using the Super Light Rock Technique to reduce her weight and reduce her gravity to zero.
Then use the Flying Thunder God Technique to take her away.
The whole process takes only one second.
As for this detached house, he asked Liu Yue to help him rent it, and it was rented a week ago.
Soon, Sakura stripped off her black bodysuit and threw it into an iron bucket to burn. Her clothes had Genjiro's royal blood on them, which Gu Ran probably did to prevent her royal blood from attracting the Death Servants.
“There’s a bathroom over there, you can take a shower. I also bought you some clothes, made to fit my girlfriend’s figure. You’re about the same height as her, so they should fit you well.” Gu Ran pointed to the frosted glass door not far away, and the bag of clothes on the rattan chair.
"Why did you save me?" Sakura didn't go to take a shower, but instead took the clothes that Gu Ran had bought for her and put them on.
It was a black, loose-fitting sports hoodie that suited her well. However, it made her look less like the cold, ruthless female assassin and more like a sporty older sister next door.
She knew that Gu Ran and Lu Mingfei had been helping her snipe Deadpool from the high-rise building, but she always felt that Gu Ran must have had another purpose in saving her.
Wait, wasn't he on the rooftop with Lu Mingfei? Why is he here? And who's with Lu Mingfei? Chu Zihang?
“I want your help,” Gu Ran said bluntly. “The situation in Japan is becoming increasingly serious, and I need someone familiar with the area to help me.”
"Why me?" Sakura asked calmly.
Gu Ran laughed and said, "Because you have been working for Yuan Zhisheng, in a way, you, as the patriarch's secretary, know more about the Snake Clan and the underworld than the patriarch himself. You are not the kind of secretary who can only do nothing."
"What if I don't agree?"
"Then I have no choice but to knock you unconscious and imprison you until things are over." Gu Ran's smile faded. "Because letting you go back now would just be sending you to your death, and I don't want such a beautiful girl like you to die a violent death, so... I have no choice but to imprison you!"
"Beg me?" Sakura seemed not to have caught the pun in Gu Ran's words.
“Yes, I’ll keep you imprisoned until you agree,” Gu Ran said with a smile.
Sakura remained expressionless for a moment before asking, "Why is going back only to my death? Could it be that the young master has already...?"
“He will definitely be fine tonight. Tachibana Masamune will not let him die. Besides, he has the blood of the emperor, which is a very valuable thing. Of course, it should be used at the most critical moment. How could we let him die like this?”
"At the same time, I also want to tell you that the King General is not dead either. Are you surprised?" Gu Ran continued.
“It’s a bit of a surprise, but not entirely. Last time you killed him, we tested the DNA on the body, and it didn’t belong to Deadpool, nor to any human,” Sakura said.
After obtaining the corpse of the king that Gu Ran had killed, the Snake Clan naturally wanted to study it. The first thing they did was to identify the king's genes and discover that his genes were very special.
The fact that the King General has reappeared this time is enough to prove that he is a mysterious, unkillable evil spirit. The fact that he could not be killed twice shows that the King General must be a very strange monster.
"You... seem to know a lot of things," Sakura asked, looking at Gu Ran in the firelight.
“I should say I’ve analyzed a lot of things, perhaps because I’m an outsider with a clearer perspective?” Gu Ran found a starting point and tried to persuade Sakura. “You should have noticed before that from Mambo Internet Cafe to the bounty on Erii’s head when she was being hunted, someone was issuing orders behind the head of the family. Obviously, there’s a traitor within your ranks.”
"This person has very high authority, high enough to modify Kaguya's records, high enough to build breeding ponds at the bottom of Genji Heavy Industries. Yes, I'm talking about Tachibana Masamune. I said before that this person has a lot of problems."
Sakura did suspect Tachibana Masamune before, and she came tonight to eliminate this traitor, but at the last moment, she joined forces with Genjiro to kill the King.
"If everything tonight was orchestrated by Tachibana Masamune, such as the killing of the king, wouldn't you find him terrifying?"
Sakura was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly: "It's terrifying to the extreme."
If Gu Ran's deduction is true, then it means that Tachibana Masamune and the King are cooperating!
"Or, what if the King and Tachibana Masamune are the same person, but he used a different method to impersonate the King, and then a group of actors performed tonight's play? Do you think that's possible?"
"The King... and Tachibana Masamune are the same person?" Sakura was completely shocked. She immediately calmed down and her mind raced.
Sakura has always been a smart girl, not just a pretty face. With Gu Ran's guidance, she immediately understood.
“You’re right, that’s right. Wang Jiang and Tachibana Masamune are very likely the same person. They appeared at the same time more than ten years ago, controlling both the Demon Clan and the Snake-Headed Eight Families. One wanted to resurrect the god, and the other opposed the resurrection of the god. This way, he could integrate the two forces, and their testimonies could corroborate each other. In this way, at the last moment, he could easily resurrect the god without any resistance... Oh no, the young master is in danger!”
Chapter 472 The Might of the Qilin
At this moment, Sakura felt a chill run down her spine. If that were true, Genjiro might have been used!
She immediately stood up, seemingly about to leave.
Gu Ran immediately activated his Sharingan and used the Shackles Technique to immobilize her. At the same time, he used his Byakugan to seal the pressure points on her body with the Acupoint Technique.
Sakura struggled to move, but found that she was unable to move either physically or mentally. She could only stand there and listen quietly to Gu Ran's words.
"Haven't you noticed yet? The enemy is gradually killing off the people with brains around Genjiro. First you, then Tachibana Masamune automatically left the scene. Next might be the head of the Miyamoto family in the Well of Corpses, then the head of the Ryoma family, and finally the ninjas of the Fuma family. If you go back now, you'll only be sending yourself to your death."
"You...you know about the Well of Hidden Bones?" Sakura was shocked to hear this. They had always kept the information about the Well of Hidden Bones a secret from the Oni Clan.
But now that the Secret Society already knows, does that mean that the Ghost Clan might have already leaked the information as well?
"The Secret Party has always infiltrated the Snake Clan, so it's not surprising that we know about the Well of Hidden Corpses," Gu Ran said calmly. "But guess what? If Tachibana Masamune and the King are the same person, then... do you think the Demon Clan knows the whereabouts of the Well of Hidden Corpses?"
Sakura's face was icy cold, as if she were freezing, which was also because she was worried about Genjiro.
Yes, the Ghost Clan must already know the location of the Well of Hidden Bones. We must inform the young master immediately so he can take precautions.
Gu Ran said, "The plan to awaken the White King has probably been planned by the mastermind for decades. Genjiro, Genjiro, Erii, the White King... all of these are within the mastermind's calculations. If you want Genjiro to escape this plan, the only way is to let the mastermind get what he wants. Only then will Genjiro and the others have no value to him and be discarded from the chessboard by the mastermind."
Sakura stared intently at Gu Ran: "What's your plan?"
"Yes, but I can't tell you yet."
Gu Ran continued, "In short, you are a dead man. If you go back, not only will you not be able to help Yuan Zhisheng, but you will also alert him and reveal my secret. Doing so would only be sending yourself to your death. I would rather you help me secretly."
"What do you want me to help you with?"
“You don’t need to do anything. Just stand by my side and watch how things unfold. All you need to do is persuade Genjiro at the last moment,” Gu Ran said. “He trusts Tachibana Masamune too much, to the point that no outsider can sway him. So I need you to persuade Genjiro at the crucial moment, because he trusts you too.”
Gu Ran then said to Ying, "You also hope that after this is over, you and Yuan Zhisheng can go to a beach in France and apply sunscreen to each other, right?"
"How do you know about this?" Sakura was surprised, as Genjiro should have only told her about this.
"I guessed it," Gu Ran laughed. "If it were me, if I were to retire at the beach, I would definitely bring a pretty girl with me. I can't bring two idiots like Crow and Yaksha, otherwise we won't be able to attract any customers."
Yuan Zhisheng and the four from Kassel College had all mentioned going to sell sunscreen, so Ying wasn't surprised that Gu Ran could guess it; she just thought his brain seemed a bit too sharp.
Seeing that Sakura was still thinking, Gu Ran sensed Kazama Ruri's location and knew he had to leave for a while.
Therefore, he said to Sakura in the end, "I am going to save Genjiro now. He is Genjiro's younger brother, and he also has royal blood. He is also a pawn being used. I will rescue him in a moment. As long as we have more and more pawns, we can eventually overturn the chessboard by surprise."
"Think about it for a while. I hope that when I come back, I will hear your agreement to cooperate. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to imprison you to prevent you from going back and ruining my plans."
Gu Ran left the iron shed, walked to a place where Sakura couldn't see him, and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport to find Kazama Ruri.
……
Kazama Ruri is very pleased with himself, because he believes that he has finally killed the king.
He had killed the king several times before, cutting the king's neck, but the king was always able to come back to life.
This time, however, Wang was first shot through the head by Gu Ran, then his neck was severed by Gu Ran's encirclement, then he was cut in half at the waist, and finally he fell from a height of nearly 300 meters.
Kazama Ruri felt that after these waves of attacks, the king, as long as he was a living being, should be killed.
Unless, he is not human, but... a god.
But if he really is a god, then there's no need to actively awaken the god.
He threw the hang glider off the roof of the mall, then went down to the first floor and threw the knife stained with the king's blood and two million yen to the security guard.
The security guard was an old man. He saw the bloodstained knife and money, and was both afraid and greedy, so he let him in.
He knew Kazama Ruri's intention: to change clothes and take a shower in the staff bathroom.
Then, in the mall, she picked out a pure cotton white shirt and trousers, and a baseball cap, before leaving satisfied.
After killing the king, he washed away the king's blood in the bathroom. Now, dressed in a white shirt and white pants, he looked like a clean young man, full of sunshine.
