Maruhōju Izakaya
Although it was located in a remote area, it was famous for its quality sake. Every dusk, the Maruhōju Izakaya was always crowded and very lively.
Since it was noon, the ordinary employees were all at work. There were only a few people in the Maruhōju Izakaya, and there were even fewer customers.
At a small table in the corner, a woman wearing a veil was drinking sake alone, waiting for someone. Around the woman, there were a few people in casual clothes, but they looked a little vigilant, as if they were guarding her.
The woman wore a blue and white dress, and she looked like a gentle woman. Although she was wearing a veil, one could tell from her tightly knitted brows that she was in a bad mood.
At this time, a middle-aged man in a suit walked into the Maruhōju Izakaya with a gloomy face.
Masahiko Iwakawa walked out of the Maruhōju Izakaya and directly walked towards the woman. "Li Xu, sorry to keep you waiting."
As he said that, he sat opposite Li Xu, and without the slightest hint of awkwardness, he said, "Waiter, please bring me a bottle of sake!"
Due to the small number of people, the waiter of the Maruhōju Izakaya quickly brought the sake over.
Masahiko Iwakawa sat opposite Li Xu, and neither of them spoke. After the sake arrived, Masahiko Iwakawa poured the sake into a large glass, and directly took a big gulp. He looked at Li Xu, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he remained silent.
After a long time, Masahiko Iwakawa finally spoke, and in a low voice, he asked Li Xu, "Have you finished reading Yamada Shinji's book, 'Seven Samurai'?"
Recently, the most sensational news on the Japanese forums was undoubtedly the publication of Yamada Shinji's book, 'Seven Samurai'.
As soon as' Seven Samurai 'was published, it became a hit in Japan, and received countless good reviews. To a large extent, it reversed the prejudice people had against Yamada Shinji.
And now, 'Seven Samurai' had already published the third volume, 'Chrysanthemum and Katana'.
"I've read it." Li Xu took a small sip of sake, and said lightly.
"Is this true?" Masahiko Iwakawa stared at Li Xu, and asked solemnly.
Li Xu took another sip of sake, and didn't speak.
After a moment of silence, Masahiko Iwakawa repeated his question again, suppressing his anger, "Li Xu, I know that's not your real name, but is this true?"
"A parallel history?"
"A history where Tokugawa Ieyasu seized the world and established the shogunate!"
"But in the end, the Mikado will take over?"
"And then the invasion of Japan failed and was destroyed by the atomic bomb?"
Masahiko Iwadaki's eyes were filled with rage, and he unconsciously clenched his fists under the table. He asked all the questions in his heart in one breath.
"No, Iwazaki-kun, Japan was not destroyed by the atomic bomb." Seeing Masahiko Iwazaki's anger, Riki sighed helplessly and explained sincerely.
"Really?" Masahiko Iwadaki didn't believe it. He shook his head and said, "If it wasn't for destruction, why would the evil spirits come here?"
"Don't they have their own world?"
Seeing that Leo was silent, he took a deep breath. "Parallel worlds have also been proposed in this world, but it is unlikely in scientific theory."
"Every time a parallel world is split, it means that the energy of a single world is reduced by half."
"After a few more splits, I'm afraid the entire world will disappear."
"Even according to theology, I'm afraid that only shadows can exist."
"You want to take over our world, right? Just like how demons take over the bodies of the living."
"Indeed, I love power, but I love life more! I love Japan even more! "
"If you really want me to obtain power at the cost of Japan's destruction, then I'd rather not!" The anger on Masahiko Iwadaki's face had disappeared, and it was replaced with coldness.
Riki sighed, but still explained, "No, Iwazaki-kun, listen to me …"
Masahiko Iwadaki stretched out his hand to stop Riki from speaking. "I'm sorry! I've already made up my mind! "
Saying that, Masahiko Iwadaki sighed and took out a check from his pocket. He respectfully pushed it to Riki, stood up, and bowed. "This is my last offering!
I'm sorry, but I can't support this kind of history! "
Saying that, Masahiko Iwadaki stood up and left.
"This is already the third one!" Riki didn't stop him. Watching Masahiko Iwadaki leave, he couldn't help but clench his wine glass tightly and let out a bitter laugh.
The publication of "The Seven Samurai" didn't affect the public opinion, but it made many people who originally sympathized with the Tobaku to change their perspective and face the roots of the Tobaku.
To many people in this world, the Mikado was a tradition, and it was acceptable to revive it. But completely overturning history was unacceptable. The Tokugawa shogunate and the Meiji Restoration couldn't bring them any sympathy, especially when the end result was the destruction of nuclear weapons.
As for Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu, they were just small fries.
At this time, Riki, who was dressed in civilian clothes, came over and bowed to Riki. "Madam, do you want …?"
Riki shaved his head, and there was a demon tattoo on his neck. As he spoke to Riki, he made a slashing gesture in the air with his hand.
But when Li Xu heard Li Tian Yishi's words, he immediately stood up and gave Li Tian Yishi a slap on his face.
"Idiot, you should know that we are at a disadvantage!"
"Masahiko Iwadaki isn't a chaebol, but he is a third-generation senator and has a lot of influence in the political arena. If you do this, you will immediately alert the shogunate!"
"Also, it will make our allies disappointed, and those who are already suspicious of us will immediately draw a clear line with us and keep their guard up against us!"
"It's because of red deer like you that our business is progressing so slowly!" Li Tu said angrily.
Yishi Tian was slapped in the face and immediately stood at attention. He lowered his head and bowed, saying, "Hi! Madam is right! "
Riki was still angry, and when she heard what Riki said, she became even angrier. She stomped her feet and was about to continue when she heard a beeping sound.
Riki took a deep breath. This phone number was a secret, and only a few people knew about it. Every call would definitely have important news, so she immediately picked up the phone and ignored Riki.
But when she heard the voice from the phone, although she was prepared, her face still sank. "What? Keita Konoe and Soichiro Ueno had their legs broken, and Ryota Suzuki was killed in the bathroom? "
"Yes, the other party was very targeted. They were all key figures in every step, and no one else was killed. According to the logic of the crime, it is obvious that they are now targeting the higher-ups."
"Hirayama, what's going on? Did someone leak the secret? "Riki asked." And Makawa Shrine doesn't have this power, right? Did the shogunate intervene? "
Keita Konoe and Soichiro Ueno were temporary employees, so Riki didn't care about their loss. But Ryota Suzuki was an official member of the organization, and after this incident, he might be promoted to an officer.
It wasn't easy to develop people under the eyes of the shogunate, and this was a loss.
Moreover, as far as Riki knew, Ryota Suzuki was now in charge of the attack on Yamada Shinji!
"Madam, our intelligence personnel didn't notice any unusual movements from the shogunate or Makawa Shrine, but that's not the most important thing now, it's to avoid a bigger blow."
"If it's possible, please inform the higher-ups in charge of this matter and ask them to move as soon as possible!" On the other side of the phone, Daisuke Hirayama touched the sweat on his forehead and carefully suggested.
Daisuke Hirayama had just received the news when he made the call. Even so, he was still sweating profusely.
Daisuke Hirayama was an intelligence personnel, and he was in charge of some intelligence, but this was the first time he knew of an attack specifically targeting the organization!
He didn't hesitate and immediately reported to his superior, Riki.
"Yes, I understand. Continue to supervise."
Riki's tone softened, and his expression changed. "I didn't directly intervene in this matter! Queen Suzuki Ryota's current target is Kiura Shigenori, followed by Ono-kun? "
"No, I can't wait, I have to go now!" Riki stood up. "Hurry, go to this address immediately, without any delay."
"Yes!"
A moment later, a car sped to a certain place on the road.
Riki Apartment
Riki got out of the car and immediately ran upstairs without hesitation. However, this apartment had been built for 40 years and didn't have an elevator, so he went straight up. After looking at the room number, Riki panted and hurriedly knocked on the door with his phone.
Hearing the knocking, Takashi Ohno, who was in the room, opened the door and was shocked to see Riki standing outside.
Takashi Ohno let Riki in and asked in a serious tone, "Why are you here? According to the rules, we can't meet unless there's an urgent matter. "
Riki said in a deep voice, "Yes! Ono-kun, there's an urgent matter! "
"The third volume of Yamada Shinji's' Seven Samurai 'is out. It's the volume of the chrysanthemum and the knife. It tells the story of the Divine Lord. You should know all of this and have read it."
"However, what I want to show you is not the book itself, but the changes it has brought about. This is not good for us."
As he spoke, Riki took out a USB flash drive from his pocket.
Takashi Ohno had an ominous feeling. With an ashen face, he hurriedly plugged the USB flash drive into his computer. He opened the USB flash drive and found that it was filled with videos.
There were edited video clips in the videos, showing some conversations. Each time, it wasn't long, only about 10 minutes.
Riki said to Takashi Ohno, "Ono-kun, these videos are edited video clips. They show some people talking about Yamada Shinji's' Seven Samurai '. I've already deleted the unnecessary nonsense, leaving only the key clips."
"Each clip isn't long, ranging from a few minutes to more than 10 minutes."
"You, open one and take a look!"
Takashi Ohno opened it and saw a clip of Naoto Muramine reading Yamada Shinji's book. He was frowning and saying, "Tokugawa Ieyasu, who is this person?"
Naoto Muramine was a famous critic. He was known for his sharp and targeted comments. His most outstanding comment was his criticism of the Japanese literary master Masaichi Iwata's' Time No More '.
In the video, Naoto Muramine was reading Yamada Shinji's book while writing and drawing on the draft paper. He was mumbling, "The future history of Tokugawa Ieyasu is very interesting. It's also impeccable when deduced."
This was just an inconspicuous person. Takashi Ohno cut to another clip. It was Oku Yasuhiko reading and discussing the book. He was a president with a net worth of tens of billions of yen. He had a puzzled look on his face.
As for the people below him, they had higher statuses. Many of them might not be rich, but they held important positions in the government and the police. They had great influence.
Takashi Ohno broke out in cold sweat as he watched. There were so many sympathizers and supporters in the dark. It was a terrible thing to have doubts.
