Dragon Clan: They're all insane, and you still want me to slay dragons?

Page 152

"Don't misunderstand, she likes me a lot now. She's leaving because she doesn't want to see Genji's ugly face, and she's afraid she won't be able to resist killing him with a knife."

Gao Kui muttered stubbornly, inadvertently revealing the truth.

Two young men who once drew their swords against each other were now talking about love, leaving Genji in the middle with mixed feelings and a bitter taste in his mouth.

Actually, Genjiro isn't that clueless about romance; after all, he can now sit and smoke with John Wick.

Gao Kui traveled thousands of miles to rescue Kazama Ruri, even though he and Kazama Ruri were mortal enemies and their positions were opposed. It was not unacceptable to him; the Japanese were all quite twisted.

But Genji still couldn't understand how his younger brother had become a younger sister. In his heart, Kazama Ruri hadn't completely transformed into a girl yet, and he simply couldn't accept love that was twisted to this extent.

After a mix of emotions, Genjiro felt a pang of regret. He thought it would have been better if Kazama Ruri and Gao Kui had come up together. With his bloodline further enhanced and Longinus in hand, he might have been able to take this opportunity to kill Genjiro.

Clang!

Sparks flew as the sharp blades clashed and rubbed against each other. Gao Kui suddenly drew his sword and slashed at Yuan Zhisheng beside him, but the latter reacted quickly and drew Longinus beside him to block the blow.

A flash of lightning illuminated the mirror-smooth blade, reflecting Genji's delicate, feminine face.

Yuan Zhisheng, with a cigarette butt in his mouth, broke out in a cold sweat. His hand holding the knife trembled slightly. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, otherwise Gao Kui would have chopped off his head on the spot.

He had no doubt about Gao Kui's determination to kill him.

"What are you doing? Why did you suddenly attack me?"

"You dare to kill the person I just saved?" Gao Kui glared at Yuan Zhisheng, gripping the knife even tighter.

"When did you see me make a move?" Yuan Zhisheng cried out that he was innocent.

"Though there are no visible signs, the desire remains!"

Gao Kui gritted his teeth and slammed a huge accusation on Yuan Zhisheng's head.

When Yuan Zhisheng was learning Chinese, he heard this story. After Emperor Yingzong of Ming was restored to the throne, he and Xu Youzhen used the excuse of "though there was no obvious evidence, he intended to do so" to frame Yu Qian for treason, thus staging another famous miscarriage of justice after the "fabricated charges".

Judges who convict others based on their own subjective assumptions are, in a modern legal system, at least at the level of a confidante.

However, hybrids don't follow the law, at least not the law of ordinary people. Gao Kui's use of the pretext of "desire" to kill him isn't so unacceptable in the hybrid world.

Yuan Zhisheng stubbornly refused to confess, saying, "Which eye of yours saw that I wanted to kill Kazama Ruri? Didn't you see me chatting and laughing with her ally John Wick right now?"

After arguing with Genjiro for a few more minutes, Gao Kui finally gave up and handed the Spider Cutter back to Genjiro: "Here's your knife back. You can return it now."

"There's no rush to change. I don't feel safe sitting next to you without Longinus."

Yuan Zhisheng waved his hand in refusal, secretly wondering if he could take advantage of Gao Kui's dazed and unfocused nature to hold onto Longinus for a longer period of time.

This special alchemical weapon, which can kill anyone it stabs and grants near-immortality to those who possess it, is far more important to a faction than ordinary alchemical weapons; it's worth more than a set of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Even if it's just an extra hour, it's still pure profit.

If there's no rush to exchange it, then there's no rush. Gao Kui's need for Longinus isn't that high anymore; he's even considering whether he can exchange Longinus for Angers' folding knife.

Moreover, he didn't think Genji would dare to embezzle his sword; the Snake Clan couldn't afford the cost of their headquarters being attacked by a super hybrid again.

"You were a beautiful woman, why did you become a thief?"

To make Gao Kui forget that Longinus was in his hands, Genjiro smoothly steered the conversation toward John Wick: "You, a Dragon King, instead of busy destroying the world and fighting the Secret Society, what are you doing in Japan joining forces with the Oni Clan?"

“I need what I need in the mortuary, you know what I mean.” John Wick said expressionlessly.

“It doesn’t look like it.” Genji shook his head.

In "The Godfather," the old Godfather admonishes his son, "Never let your enemies know what you're thinking."

Genji could tell that John Wick was not the kind of person who was deep and could hide his true intentions, nor was he like the Ghost Clan, who craved the remains of the White King.

If we compare the White King's remains to the path to immortality in "Covering the Sky," then the Fierce Ghost Clan is like the supreme beings who, after severing themselves, escape into forbidden zones to await the path to immortality. For the sake of this obsession with becoming an immortal, they are willing to abandon their former dignity as Heavenly Venerables and Ancient Emperors.

John Wick is the Ruthless Emperor, not seeking immortality, but only waiting for your return in the mortal world.

"Was it Mai Shude who tricked you into coming to Japan?" Gao Kui suddenly realized something.

John Wick remained expressionless, which was tantamount to acquiescing to the deal between her and Mai Shude. Only after settling things in Japan would Mai Shude and the others help her go to China to find her brother.

"Who is Shude Mai?" Genji asked.

"My girlfriend."

"Your girlfriend!?"

Yuan Zhisheng's eyes widened, his mind becoming increasingly confused. Even with his extraordinary wisdom, he couldn't understand what was going on and couldn't unravel the logical chain of the current situation.

The Northern Qi prince and the humanoid dragon king are enemies; the Northern Qi prince and the humanoid dragon king's superior are lovers; the humanoid dragon king and the Fierce Ghost Clan are allies; and the Fierce Ghost Clan and the Northern Qi prince are enemies.

"You should cut off contact with Mai Shude as soon as possible. From now on, I'll be your bounty hunter."

Gao Kui sighed and said, "Otherwise, you will die sooner or later, I will kill you. Believe me, believe me, there is no good in continuing to associate with her."

Yuan Zhisheng thought Gao Kui was jealous, so he threatened John Wick to leave his girlfriend immediately. But that wasn't actually the case.

Gao Kui vaguely realized that John Wick was also one of Emmanuel's pawns, most likely because Emmanuel had found some weakness in him and written it into the script.

After being completely consumed and exploited, he will become the Dragon King, achieving the legendary status of the Messiah of Cassel and the Dragon Slayer.

Gao Kui really didn't want to kill John Wick, at least not now.

According to the information Norma provided, John Wick's behavior over the past few years has been very controllable; he is just a normal super-hybrid bounty hunter.

Norma said that John Wick hasn't caused great damage to the world yet because he hasn't awakened his Dragon King memories. Once he becomes the true Dragon King, he will naturally stand completely against humanity.

But if something hasn't been done, it simply hasn't been done.

Just moments ago, Gao Kui wanted to kill Genjiro on charges of "intentional intent," but in the blink of an eye, he became surprisingly lenient towards John Wick.

However, after making contact with Mai Shude's team under Emmanuel's command, he immediately launched a surprise attack on Kassel, demonstrating his threat to the world and humanity as the Dragon King through destructive acts that were inconsistent with his past behavior.

This gave Gao Kui a feeling similar to Ultraman Tiga's Obik: knowing that he could never return to the village, Obik deliberately sought death and died under Ultraman Tiga's laser.

He saw that John Wick needed redemption and instinctively wanted to lend a helping hand. In Gao Kui's eyes, this humanoid dragon king, like every ordinary person, was someone who needed redemption and was qualified to be redeemed by God.

At least for now, that's how it is. The prince of Northern Qi is so short-sighted, he almost never uses his brain, has no sense of the big picture, and wants to help whoever he sees as pitiful and kill whoever he sees as hateful.

They won't think about the hateful aspects of the pitiful, nor will they think about the pitiful aspects of the hateful.

I feel sorry for John Wick now, but if I see how hateful he is a few minutes later, I might want to stab him to death.

“I have reasons for having to cooperate with your girlfriend, and I will not stop cooperating with her until I find my brother.”

John Wick refused, insisting on seeing his brother and rescuing him.

It's amazing how he's always been alone, wandering and living by himself, yet he has such deep feelings for a complete stranger, just like Sister Styx for Boy Styx.

Perhaps this is what family affection is, this is "human nature." Even social animals like lions have a certain degree of humanity. How could John Wick, the Dragon King, turn a blind eye to family affection?

After a pause, John Wick added, "Besides, you might not be able to kill me. We fought twice and both times ended in a draw."

Gao Kui shook his head and sighed: "You don't understand. If I wanted to kill you, I could definitely kill you. If He wanted you to die, you would definitely die."

Is the Dragon King really that great?

It's just so-so. Compared to ordinary people and ordinary hybrids, it is indeed quite powerful. It has extremely destructive words of power, terrifying recovery ability, and after regaining its dragon body, burning mountains and boiling seas is nothing to it.

But his opponent is a religious God who has no upper limit, who is omniscient, omnipotent, and the only divinity in eternity.

Even though Gao Kui can't kill John Wick right now, he believes that as long as the plot reaches the point set by Emmanuel, or when he really needs it, he will definitely be able to obtain the power to kill John Wick.

That's what the Son of God is all about. Jesus was like that in the beginning, and Jesus in Paradise Lost is like that too. When he wants to solve a problem, he will definitely have the ability to solve it, no matter what problem or enemy he faces.

Chapter 181 Gao Kui, a Good Person

John Wick left, head held high, walking his own path.

“We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way, and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.”

As Gao Kui watched John Wick's retreating figure, he sighed, "Why be so stubborn? Even if I have the determination to sacrifice ninety-nine sheep for one sheep, what's the use if the lost sheep doesn't follow me back to the right path?"

Next time we meet, I might really kill him.

"Therefore, it makes sense that the Bible often uses sheep as a metaphor for people."

Yuan Zhisheng lit another damp cigarette, took a deep drag, coughed a few times from the choking, and said, "Sheep are foolish and willful creatures. They can find a hole in the fence to go out, but they are not capable of finding the same hole to come back. Someone has to go out and lead them back, just like the Bible says that each person has gone their own way. This foolishness and willfulness are also the experience of each person's nature."

Everyone wants to act according to their own will, so we've created a community constantly in conflict and struggle, unable to solve problems because we all insist on doing things our own way.

Gao Kui looked at Yuan Zhisheng in astonishment, his eyes filled with disbelief: "You beast, you can actually say such philosophical things."

Yuan Zhisheng always felt that he was being looked down upon. He felt that in Gao Kui's eyes, he was no longer a person, but a stupid pig who liked to roll in the mud, or a bear who liked to scratch itself by rubbing against a big tree.

Pigs and bears are certainly very intelligent animals, ranking among the top mammals, and possess a certain degree of sociality, but they still cannot compare to humans.

“Because I’m also that kind of foolish and willful creature,” Genji sighed.

He harbored a sense of responsibility, a responsibility that belonged to him like a tree guiding his way. To protect the Hebi family, he overcame his laziness, abandoned his dream of selling sunscreen on Montalvi Beach in France, and, with his gaze fixed on the tree, strove forward, determined not to stray from his path.

He believed that John Wick was also such a person, that there must be such a tree in his heart, a fence opening that made him a foolish and willful sheep.

"Stop trying to flatter yourself." Gao Kui sneered repeatedly, his contemptuous smile full of misunderstanding and prejudice against Yuan Zhisheng.

Prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain that you can't move no matter how hard you try. Yuan Zhisheng was deeply moved and profoundly understood the meaning of this sentence.

"So, is there anything else you need to do next?" Gao Kui asked.

"Of course."

Yuan Zhisheng pointed to the sea of ​​blood in front of him, which was full of corpses: "We need to seal off the scene and clean it up before the Marine Life Conservation Association and other messy organizations arrive. We can't leave any obvious flesh or blood. This is a huge project."

Any piece of flesh or blood here, if it appeared on the laboratory table of the biological research center, would cause a huge uproar.

Then, he must return to Japan to command branches and yakuza organizations throughout the country, fighting against the attacks of the Oni Clan and their subordinate forces.

Although this decisive battle was started to provide cover for the burial site, the king could not easily stop the war once it had begun.

After that, through this great battle, we must find out the details of the Ghost Clan's forces, unravel the mystery, and finally locate the Ghost Clan's headquarters to capture them all.

Finally, we need to negotiate with Kassel to minimize the impact of Orochi, while simultaneously mobilizing all available resources to search for his whereabouts and eliminate him as quickly as possible.

Just thinking about it, Genjiro could imagine how busy he would be in the coming period. In this great battle, he had gradually risen in rank and shouldered certain responsibilities. Once you take on responsibility, it's not so easy to shed it.

Gao Kui thought for a moment and asked, "What does this have to do with me?"

“Yeah, what does this have to do with you?” Yuan Zhisheng was even more troubled.

For the foreseeable future, Japan will be a hotbed for mixed-race people worldwide. As the host, he will be quite busy. However, apart from needing Gao Kui to join the gang when they are fighting the Demon Clan, all other matters have nothing to do with Gao Kui, the exchange student.

Enjoying the glory of being the Messiah of Cassel and the prince of Northern Qi, with two or three confidantes, he could do whatever he wanted every day, and his life was incredibly carefree.
