Dragons: Reboot the New World

"You're kidding me." Uesugi swallowed, "If this kind of thing really wakes up... it will be really fucking bad!"

"Do you want to hear worse news than this?"

"What could be worse? What could be worse than the resurrection of God?"

"Things can always be worse than you expect... What's even worse is that if God has been resurrected, there's a good chance it's in Tokyo."

The colander in Uesugoshi's hand fell.

Angers was silent for a long time and took a deep breath. "It's not completely impossible to find it."

"The person hiding behind the scenes must know where God is. He carefully planned to resurrect it, and of course he must find it."

"..."

Uesugoshi took out the soft noodles, put them in a large porcelain bowl filled with bone broth, and then brought it to Ange.

"To be honest, I'm so tired that I don't even want to care about the life and death of this world."

"Have I ever told you my mother's story?"

"In my impression... not at all." Angers wiped the chopsticks that had just fallen on the table and started eating the noodles in small bites.

"Okay, then you just eat the noodles and I'll tell you my current story."

Uesugoshi took out a bottle of sake and filled it for the two of them.

……

……

"I'm sorry for you." Angers said softly and drank all the wine in the glass.

"That's my sin, enough to crucify me until the end of the world. I'm sorry for my mother, I've heard so many Bible stories from her, but I never learned love from them."

Uesugoshi took out the silver cross from his collar and held it in his palm.

"So you don't have children yet because you don't want the royal blood to be passed on." Angers said.

"Imperial blood is a mistake for humans. I don't know what the noble Dragon King's purpose was in giving it to humans, but it can't bring happiness to humans at all."

"I don't want my descendants to bear the curse like me." Uesugi looked into Angers eyes.

"I heard such a rare story on this rare rainy night... Well, I promise you that I will not use the power of the emperor's blood. I will destroy the holy bones as soon as I find them."

Angers put down his glass solemnly.

"Also, God's awakening goes far beyond that." Uesugi said softly, "This is just the beginning."

"You should know the ghosts and gods of Japan, right? Shuten Doji, Tamamo Mae, and so on... In ancient times, humans and ghosts and gods lived together on the land of Japan, and the so-called ghosts and gods were hybrids with out-of-control bloodlines. "

"The eight Sheqi families have been fighting for thousands of years, sending those fallen hybrids into the Night Food Plain...the Nibelung of the White King."

"However, after the ancient priests died, the Food of Night was sealed. The emperor could sense its existence and even sometimes enter it in dreams, but this is uncontrollable."

"In other words, when the Night Food Plain is opened, all the monsters and ghosts in Japan's history will come out...Hakki Yakou?" Anger frowned, "It doesn't seem like good news."

"That's right, when that time comes, even if you are stronger than you and me, you will still be powerless, Ange." Uesugi said solemnly.

"Don't compare you to me." Angers shrugged.

"...You are still so mean when you speak."

"Facts."

"Okay, it's true. You remind me of me many years ago. I was confident that there was no hybrid in the world that could defeat me... but 'Time Zero' is really a word spirit that can turn the tide of a war."

"I have blood but no experience in facing enemies. You brandished two wooden swords and kept beating me. I, the emperor, am unable to resist."

"It's an exaggeration." Ange smiled, "He is a first-class fighter. At that time, I just learned that I must use that move to hit someone."

"Okay, okay, I admit that we haven't changed." Uesugi Koshiya laughed, "I have to say that it's pretty good to have such a bad friend."

"Years later, when our hair turns gray, we still laugh at each other about our drunken frivolities."

"Sounds good." Angers clinked glasses with him, "and we're doing it."

The two of them had a tacit understanding and didn't talk about other topics until the bottle of sake was empty.

"I'll get a new bottle." Uesugoshi stood up.

"Then how to prevent the Night Food from opening?" Angers returned to the topic.

"In 1457, the Eight Sheqi Family rediscovered the well leading to the Yonoshugahara, and Tokyo was established at the location of this well."

"Actually, Tokyo is not a particularly old city. It has been the residence of the wealthy Edo family until 1457 when a man named Ota Michizan built the city here. He was a retainer of the Uesugi family and a descendant of the Snakekihachi family. "

"We discovered the remains of the Night Food Plain on this land, which was also the former site of Takamagahara." Uesugoshi explained while rummaging through the wine in the cabinet.

Ong nodded, this ancient history had long been lost to the Sheqi family, because a guy named Uesugoshi burned down the family temple more than 60 years ago, burning the history handed down from ancient times.

This guy is probably the only one left in this world who still knows this.

"Where is that well now?"

"Do you want to find that well?" Uesugoshi finally took out the wine and slammed it on the table, "Don't even think about it."

"I advise you to give up this idea. I won't tell you. The well is indeed one of the entrances to the Night Food Plain, but it is a one-way street. You can only go in and out."

"You don't trust me?" Angers asked.

"Can't you let me go?" Uesugi asked.

"Ange, you may still be the same person you were back then, but I am no longer the same person you were back then. As you can see, I have been making noodles for more than 60 years, and my hands have only pushed the noodle cart, and have never touched the handles of guns or knives. I haven’t used the word spirit before.”

"What do you want me to take to fight with you? A rolling pin?"

“Nowadays, one of my few hobbies is to go to church and listen to missionaries chanting scriptures, and then to listen to the complaints of the customers who come to my noodle stall to eat noodles. At the same time, I encourage those young boys to bravely pursue love and make their dreams come true. After I pick up the girl, tell me the good news..."

"What else?" Ange asked calmly.

"Look at the absolute territory that young girls' stockings stretch between their thighs and short skirts..." Uesugoshi trailed off. "Sounds interesting." Ange smiled and commented.

"It's so funny." Uesugi stared into Ange's eyes, "I should have quit a long time ago."

He took out a thick stack of paper and threw it in front of Angers. Before Angers could start to read it, he started talking to himself.

"I'm so glad that Angers managed to come to Tokyo at this critical time, so that I could finally escape and go back to France... I've told you everything I know, and the rest is up to you. "

"Actually, I have already bought an Air France first-class ticket to Lyon for more than 30 years. Because I paid a large sum of money to Air France, I can always get on the plane with this priority ticket."

"I've always thought that one day when I've done all the things I can do in this country, I can go back to France and visit the convent where my mother stayed."

"Then die there, have a funeral, lie in the coffin and listen to them sing me a requiem mass."

Uesugoshi pointed to the stack of paper, "Look at it, this is the physical examination report that I have saved for 30 years."

Angers flipped through the physical examination reports page by page, his pupils gradually dilated, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He majored in medicine at Cambridge, and it was not difficult to understand the literal meaning of these physical examination reports.

According to these medical examination reports, the Uesugi in front of him should have held a memorial service sooner.

All the organs in his body have been exhausted. Almost none of the blood and urine tests are satisfactory. The most frightening thing is that his brain nerves and blood vessels are closing, and the system that supplies blood to his brain is failing...

And this systemic failure has lasted for 30 years.

"You are right, I should have died long ago, but I am still surviving on the support of dragon blood. The lifespan of the shadow emperors in the past generations is not long. The shadow emperors are not perfect hybrids, they are just freaks." Uesugi shrugged. .

"Although it can accommodate more than the upper limit of dragon blood without being swallowed by dragon blood, the price is premature aging... The Shadow Emperor has always been a man who withers as easily as cherry blossoms."

"This joke is not funny." Ange's voice was a little hoarse. "Haven't you been guarding the entrance to the Night Food Plain all your life? A watchman like you is ready to leave at an important moment?"

"What can I do? That's what the old janitor is like. When someone comes to rob, he calls the police and gets off work early."

"Do you expect the old janitor to take out the bat suit from the cabinet and put it on to fight violence with violence after calling the police? That is simply unrealistic."

"Actually, I have wanted to tell you this for a long time, and then asked you to find someone to be the gatekeeper of the Night Food Plain, but I am unwilling to hand over the secret to a fanatic like you."

"With your personality, you will definitely not expect the alchemy matrix to stop functioning and collapse on its own like me. Instead, you will try to steal the technology in it to strengthen Cassel College, right?"

"Maybe." Ange said noncommittally, "Am I really that bad in your mind?"

"Oh, that's pretty much it. You only survived because you wanted revenge, and you would do anything to get revenge."

"The reason why I chose the 'Violence of All Realms' tattoo for you back then is because in my opinion, your nature is very close to evil, and you will do whatever it takes to defeat your opponents."

"This statement is quite right." Ange said softly, and Gujing Bubo's heart suddenly felt a little rippled.

Yes, he lives for revenge. When he heard that Uesugi Koshi's time was running out, he was not very sad. Instead, he was thinking about what kind of means he would use to bring Uesugi Koshi in to gamble with him, even if he is dying. life.

But he just suddenly remembered that he himself had lived too long and had rarely attended the funerals of his friends in his long life, because after that early summer night, he had very few friends.

What does a funeral feel like?If he attended Uesugoshi's funeral, would he feel even a little bit sad?

"You don't trust me that much?" Angers repeated the question unconsciously.

"It's not that I completely deny you." Uesugi Yue smiled, "I think that in the war between humans and dragons, a man with a strong will like you may be needed."

"You are like those kings in history who were famous for killing. You think there will be peace after you wipe out all your opponents and wash the earth with blood. Your believers also follow you to kill because of your fanaticism and will."

"A coward like me is just a janitor. I can't keep up with the pace of heroes like you. I can't run as fast as you."

"So..." Uesugi took away the empty bowl in front of Ange and put away the empty wine bottles.

"I'm sorry, old friend. Although you are such a charming man, you and I are not on the same page when it comes to dragon slaying."

"I've finished drinking, and it's time for me to close up. Goodbye Angers... I should say never see you again. Just let me die with that little bit of peace and joy." He said softly.

"Looking at your tone, I'm probably not welcome to attend your funeral, right?"

"My funeral will be a Catholic-style funeral, calm, compassionate, and full of love." Uesugoshi seemed to be really imagining that moment in his mind.

"At that funeral, I was just a ramen chef who worked hard for the community, not a mafia supreme. It's better not to attend the funeral for an avenger like you who is full of blood."

"Yes, got it."

Angers put a paper bag on the table, "I brought you a small gift, French chocolate. Maybe it will remind you of the taste of France."

He stood up, opened his umbrella, and staggered toward the Maserati.

At the end of the alley was a brightly lit metropolis. When he opened the car door, he looked back and saw Uesugoshi sitting quietly in the wind and rain deep in the alley, with cherry blossoms and water flowing under his feet.

……

……

Genji Heavy Industries, Mural Hall.

Yuan Zhisheng stood silently in front of the screen wall.

"Mr. Masamune is here." Crow quickly walked behind Yuan Zhisheng and lowered his voice.

"You guys go out and let me talk to Mr. Masamune alone." Yuan Zhisheng didn't even look back.

"We will be on guard outside." Crow bowed and winked at Sakura and Yasha, and everyone left the mural hall.

Yuan Zhisheng picked up a candle and relit the ever-burning lamps with great patience.

Tachibana Masamune didn't say anything and waited until he lit all the lanterns.

On the walls are fragments of murals that have been smoked black. Gods and demons are dancing in the swaying flames, and the atmosphere is solemn and strange.

"Dad, is it time to tell me something?" Gen Zhisheng stood in the middle of the hall with his back to Tachibana Masamune, his waist straight.

"Actually, you have suspected me for a long time, right?" Masamune Tachibana chuckled softly.

"I can't say I doubt it, but I know there are things you haven't told me. I've already visited your underground research institute and the giant water tank. It's very advanced. I'll never forget it once I see it."

Yuan Zhisheng lit a cigarette and turned around, "But I don't want to talk to you there, so I invited you to the mural hall."

He was stunned. Tachibana Masamune's attire was completely different from before. (End of chapter)
