I'm a dragon sparrow in Tokyo

Chapter 78 The Beginning of Night!
Along the main road all the way to the shopping mall, Jiang Xu unexpectedly discovered that in the sauce area of ​​the shopping mall, there was a new batch of condiments such as bean paste imported from Xia Guo.

Depending on the variety, almost all of them can match the materials needed for Mapo Tofu.

Could it be that the Sakurajima Cuisine Alliance is planning ahead?

Jiang Xu guessed.

But the sauces and seasonings have already been seen, so he naturally purchased a batch.

I am going to go back and make a more authentic mapo tofu.

And while Jiang Xu was still shopping in the mall.

In a dark alley not far from him.

"You mean, some of you saw that boy from Xia Kingdom?"

The masked man confirmed to his subordinates.

"Yes, sir! We happened to see it, and confirmed it, absolutely right."

The man in the mask pondered for a moment, then raised his head, and said to the man in sunglasses beside him.

"Mr. Jiangguchi, I have a task for you. Go and invite that kid from Xia Kingdom to come to us. You can think about the specific method, but try not to use too strong a method."

The man in sunglasses stood at attention and said loudly, "Got it! The task must be completed!"

He lowered his head and pondered, and suddenly realized that there was only one wall to look at Matsuo's private room, and he had an idea, "Let's use Matsuo Jiro as the reason, how about it?"

"Also, I need a prop."

"You said."

"That old man's stick from the Someya Jasso Rose Cup!"

The man in the mask thought for a while, nodded and praised, "Good idea! Let's do it like this."

"Ishihara went to the next area to collect the last few rose sticks, and he should be back tonight."

"If he goes well, plus Matsuo's riji stick and the riji stick in the hands of that Xia Guo high school student, all 36 riji sticks can be collected." The masked man continued.

"However, Kawamoto-kun, we took advantage of Ishihara-kun's departure, violated his decision, and went to find Matsuo Jiro and the Xia country high school student named Jiang Xu whom he emphasized so much. OK."

"Shi Yuan, hehe, so what about entering the country? If it wasn't for the great suppression of luck, don't talk about the first level, any top players in the third level of competition, how can I, Yingzhou, be less."

"Although we are still in the dormant period, we have to rely on Shi Yuan, who is only the first level of mahjong."

"But after the ceremony is successful, we will be able to condense a 'lucky soul' of this world. At that time, most of the suppression on us will be ineffective. At that time, we will be able to extradite more compatriots to come. This next mission is the beginning of Yingzhou's great cause!"

"Long live Yingzhou! Long live King Ying!"

When all the subordinates heard the words, they all shouted enthusiastically.

The man in the sunglasses also looked excited, as if a great success was right in front of his eyes.

He said solemnly.

"Heben-kun, then I'll go first. Don't worry, I will definitely bring back all the people and Lizhi stick together."

"Well, I believe you!"

The masked man laughed.

'However, the Sakurajima in this world is too weird. Mahjong is used as the national game, and the gambling nature is so heavy, but it is actually a game where the strong come first. '

The man in the mask showed a very weird expression, half crying and half laughing.

"Dongfu is already a history of failure, and now I am a native of Yingzhou!"And Yingzhou will definitely become the only victorious world! '

Suddenly, the masked man's eyes moved, and the task next door seemed to have been completed.

When Matsuo left the private room with heavy steps.

clap clap clap!
The door was suddenly pushed open.

The man in the mask clapped his hands and walked in.

"Wonderful, as expected of a professional, there really isn't a single loophole in the setup, and it completely understands people's minds."

"Haha, although I turned out to be a thief, a liar, and a piece of trash from the bottom of society, since we know the great Yingzhou Kingdom, we know our mission!"

"The wrong history must be corrected! Only Yingzhou's advanced ideas are the real way out for Sakurajima!"

The three stood up together and said in unison, looking fanatical, like brainwashed fanatics.

After receiving the straight stick from someone, the masked man said with a smile, "Yingzhou has received your will, and you will all be rewarded when Yingzhou comes."

"But now, I have one more thing to give to you gentlemen."

"But this task should be easier. Your opponent is a high school student."

"The goal of the mission is still the stick in the opponent's hand!"

Although I wonder why the leader attaches so much importance to an ordinary Lizhi stick, he deliberately set up two games, and stipulates that he must get the Lizhi stick from the hands of two people head-on.

But the three still nodded respectfully.

"Hi!"

on the trail.

Holding a big bag in one hand and a bamboo sword in the other, Jiang Xu hurried back.

When passing by the trail where Matsuo happened to meet last time.

Suddenly, a voice sounded.

"Jiang Xu, classmate?"

Jiang Xu paused, followed the voice, and saw that it was a strange man in black who was still wearing sunglasses in an alley at night.

Jiang Xu's eyes narrowed slightly, his whole body subconsciously tensed up, and at the same time he clenched the bamboo sword tightly with his right hand.

"Who are you? Is something wrong?"

"Haha, Jiang Xu, don't worry, we are friends of Matsuo-kun."

A smile appeared on the face of the man in the sunglasses, and he waved his hand to show that he had no malice.

"This stick, you should know it. It's the proof Matsuo-kun gave us."

Under the light, when the man in sunglasses turned the stick.

Jiang Xu could clearly see the logo of Someya Sparrow Village engraved on the side of the stick facing him, as well as the words 130 Sixth Rose Cup.

There is nothing wrong with being genuine.

However, how could Matsuo's upright stick be in their hands?
Jiang Xu still remembered that when he met the other party two days ago, he specifically reminded him that this straight stick has spirituality and can bring good luck.

People in Sakurajima still believe in these things.

Generally, such things as wards and blessings would not be handed over to an outsider.

"How is it, student Jiang Xu?"

"It's too dark to see clearly, can you pass it to me?"

"No problem at all."

The man in the sunglasses didn't suspect him, so he reached out and handed the stick to Jiang Xu.

Jiang Xu was still holding the bamboo sword in his right hand, put down the shopping bag in his left hand, and went to take the stick.

Ok? !

Jiang Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, and he was keenly aware of a detail.

Although he was wearing sunglasses, judging from the slight movement of the other man's face, it seemed that his eyes had been firmly locked on Lizhi stick.

'He pays attention to Riji stick? ! '

Jiang Xu was thinking, and at the same time, his fingers stroked the stick in his hand, feeling it carefully.

The Lizhi sticks given as a gift in the Rose Cup finals were actually blessed by that unknown cat.

It contains the 'spiritual charm'. If Jiang Xu remembers correctly, Matsuo was lucky at the time. He was obviously the fourth. The last one he took was the straight stick with two wisps of charm. .

On the contrary, the two, the old man of the three and Ishihara Ryosuke, only got the Lizhi stick with a ray of spirit.

Plus Jiang Xu's own three wisps of divine aura, the straight stick.

There are actually three situations for the four upright sticks.

And this root!
There is only a ray of divine spirit in it.

This is not the straight stick from Matsuo!
It's the straight stick of the old man or Ryosuke Ishihara.

However, why did the other party lie to himself with the stick?Also in the name of Matsuo!
Jiang Xu felt vigilant in his heart.

"I heard Jiang Xu, you should also have the same Lizhi stick. I heard that this kind of Lizhi stick was blessed by the gods. Jiang Xu, you should also bring it with you."

The man in sunglasses seemed to ask casually.

'His goal is the stick in my hand! '

Jiang Xu's eyes flashed, and he thought of it immediately.

Generally speaking.

Things like straight sticks are everywhere, they don't have any effect at all, and they are deliberately planned at all without any need.

To tell the difference.

The only thing Jiang Xu could think of was the divine aura inside the Rizhi Stick as a gift from the Chinese Rose Cup.

So, the goal of these people is actually the illusory thing called divine aura?

They know the existence of the spirit charm of the gods, and even know the function of the spirit charm of the gods, and they are intentionally collecting this special stick!
They have already got the straight stick in the hands of the old man or Ishihara Ryosuke, and the one in Matsuo Jiro's hands may also be in their hands, and now they are eyeing the one in my hand.

Almost instantly, Jiang Xu figured out the logic of the behavior of the man in sunglasses.

If that's the case, they won't stop until they see my rig.

Coincidentally, I also want to know what the real function of the divine aura is.

Jiang Xu's thoughts changed sharply, but his expression didn't change at all, as if he was responding normally after hearing the other party's inquiry.

Conveniently put the hand holding the 'Pinetail' upright stick into the trouser pocket.

Ah!
Seeing Jiang Xu's actions, the man in sunglasses almost couldn't hold back and rushed over.

Fortunately, the next second, Jiang Xu's hand was drawn out again, and there was an extra stick in his hand.

Sure enough, he carried it with him.

While the man in sunglasses breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't help showing a smile.

Seeing this, Jiang Xu, who had been focusing on the other party, confirmed his guess more and more.

"This stick really does bring good luck, so I keep it with me."

"I believe you are friends of Matsuo, but what did Matsuo ask you to come to me?"

Jiang Xu is very normal, with a puzzled expression on his face.

"Also, how did you find me?"

"Um, Matsuo-kun told us."

"Actually, Mr. Matsuo saw you when you were going to the mall, but he was in a hurry to go to Quezhuang, so he asked us to wait on your way back."

"Really?" Jiang Xu looked dubious.

"But you still haven't said what Matsuo is looking for me for?"

"It was just a coincidence. We mentioned that we wanted to play cards with real masters. Mr. Matsuo mentioned you, and he even took out a souvenir of the Rose Cup as proof. So, I just want to ask, do you have time now? Go play a round."

"Of course, it's not for nothing. We will give you a thousand happy beans as a reward for playing one and a half dealers."

"Just play cards and give money?"

"Haha, Mr. Jiang Xu is from the Xia Kingdom. I don't know. In our Sakura Island, because mahjong is too popular, there is actually a profession called mahjong companion. This is a new part-time job."

The man in the sunglasses laughed, he didn't make up this profession, but it happened.

"Really, are you sure there are no casinos involved?"

Jiang Xu's expression seemed to be moved, but he was still a little worried.

"Not involved, absolutely not involved! We are all just ordinary mahjong lovers, and we just hope to be lucky enough to play against a mahjong master like you once."

The man with sunglasses said.

The reasons he made up are actually a few points. First, he has acquaintances, second, he guarantees legal compliance and dispels his worries, and he also has a certain amount of Happy Bean rewards. The amount is not large, but it is attractive enough for students.

So although the reason is actually a bit far-fetched, it will be ignored by most people in this case.

"In this case, I'll go play a few rounds. I haven't played against Matsuo for a long time, and I don't know how much his skills have improved."

After thinking for a while, Jiang Xu seemed to have made up his mind and said with a smile.

The man in sunglasses breathed a sigh of relief.

If possible, he didn't want to use strong methods.

Because Jiang Xu is from Xia, if something goes wrong in Sakurajima, there will be a big commotion.

In this way, for them, unless it is absolutely necessary, they will never choose this worst way.

However, if Ishihara Ryosuke's side goes well, the stick in the man's hand in front of him will be the last one.

At that time, even if some means are used, it is necessary to ensure that the Lizhi stick must be obtained.

After all, this person is just a high school student.

It's easy to get hooked.

There is no need to use any means at all.

This is the best solution.

As long as you have collected 36 rose sticks, which are blessed by the sparrow gods of this world, they contain spirituality.

You can complete the above task.

Even if someone later finds out that something is wrong.

But everyone just lost a stick.

Although the situation is a bit strange, as long as no one is killed, it will not attract the attention of the government.

And without the government's information channels, when those 'hunters' noticed something unusual, they would have already evacuated.

No information will be left.

No one will know their purpose.

As long as there is no accident for the last person.

"Then let's go." The man in sunglasses said.

"it is good."

Jiang Xu nodded, and picked up the shopping bag that had just been placed on the ground.

The man in sunglasses glanced at the things in Jiang Xu's hands. There was a long black strip in his right hand, which seemed to be an umbrella, and a pile of ingredients were in the bag in his left hand, so he ignored it.

On the way, the man in sunglasses chatted.

"Did Jiang Xu join the Mahjong Club at school?"

"of course."

Jiang Xu moved his eyes and smiled.

"I think so, Jiang Xu's mahjong skills should be extremely difficult to find an opponent among his peers."

"Eguchi-kun, you probably like mahjong too."

"Ah, I like it very much, I have always liked it. I really like Sakurajima, where mahjong is everywhere!"

The man with sunglasses smiled.

"It is precisely because geniuses like you are emerging in endlessly that Sakurajima's mahjong ability has been developing at a high speed!"

"The development of mahjong should have something to do with ordinary people's willingness to accept and love it."

Jiang Xu said.

"Ordinary people, heh! Mahjong can develop in Sakurajima only because it was selected. Otherwise, it will only be an ordinary game, and it will even become a very bad one."

"Selected?"

"That's right, if Sakurajima didn't choose mahjong and kendo, then she would also choose baseball, table tennis, tennis, and badminton. In fact, they are all the same."

"It's just that there was only one mahjong in Sakurajima back then."

The man in sunglasses stopped abruptly while talking.

"A what?"

Jiang Xu asked curiously.

"A peerless genius who can be called ghosts and gods appeared, just like the Xuanyu Gymnasium of Sakurajima Kendo, who broke the chaos in the mahjong world and formulated new rules for the mahjong world. That's why mahjong can get support and develop at a high speed."

After finishing speaking, the man in sunglasses didn't seem to want to chat any more, but a trace of admiration could be heard from his tone.

"Oh, that's right. I seem to have heard about the ghostly genius bird you mentioned."

Jiang Xu's eyes moved slightly, and said.

"It's not surprising. That ghost has been to this area before. If it's some old people, they might have played cards with them."

Jiang Xu followed the man in sunglasses in the alley.

Behind them, several figures hung far away.

In the night sky, the crescent moon hangs high, quietly sprinkling silver-sand-like moonlight, pouring down to this kingdom that regards her as a goddess.

The line of sight is gradually raised.

Starting from the area where Jiang Xu is located, extending, and pulling away, the streets are densely packed like spider webs and have their own order.

In the prosperous area full of high-rise buildings, delicate and uniform light shines from the surface of the building, like a twinkling starry sky, and the flowing car lights on the elevated road shuttle in the city.

The clouds floating in the dark night sky drifted, merged and gradually thickened in the high-altitude wind.

It's like a huge monster with its wings spread out, casting its own shadow on the earth!

On Friday night, countless social animals who got a short respite poured into the corners of the streets and alleys.

The night has just begun!
The inexplicable thing hidden under the shadow of Tokyo has begun to tentatively stick out its tentacles.

The hunt is about to begin!
