Chapter 173 Who is the prey?
By the time Minamoto no Chitose finished dealing with all the matters and returned to Genji Heavy Industries, a bright orange color had already appeared on the horizon.

Xia Mi was drowsy after staying up all night in the car. After the car finally stopped, she opened her eyes in confusion and was taken to a resting place by Yuan Zhinv.

It was a very simple and monotonous room. Apart from some basic furniture, the whole room was empty. However, it was very clean and there was a faint scent of incense.

"You can rest here first." said Yuan Zhinv.

Xia Mi looked around curiously: "Whose room is this?"

"mine."

"Then where are you going to sleep?" Xia Mi blinked and lowered her head shyly: "Do you want to sleep with me? I don't mind, but I don't know if you are used to it."

She acted like a shy young wife, with an attitude of "You saved me, I have no way to repay you, so I have to give you my body". But unfortunately, the person she was hooking up with was a blockhead who had no understanding of romance at all.

Yuan Zhinv was too lazy to pay attention to the dramatic Dragon King. She just said "I have something else to do" and turned away. She could feel someone looking at her inquiringly, but she pretended not to notice.

In fact, Yuan Zhinu's heart was far from being as calm as she appeared, because she didn't know why Xia Mi appeared here.

When she first learned that the simulator could improve her bloodline by slaying dragons, Yuan Zhinu overestimated her own capabilities and thought of killing this little dragon girl. She was misled by the original novel and thought that Chu Zihang could kill her, so the Dragon King's strength was somewhat unworthy of his reputation.

She first contacted Chu Zihang because she wanted to lure out this love-brained guy, but later even when she took Chu Zihang to confront Odin, Xia Mi did not show up.

Not only that, Yuan Zhinu also sent people to China to look for her, but they didn't find any clues. It was as if such a person had never existed in the world, so naturally any search was in vain.

But after fighting with the young dragon king Leviathan, who was also in human form, Yuan Zhinv finally understood how much this love-brained man had let go when fighting a certain man named Chu...

Therefore, Yuan Zhinu decisively gave up her suicidal behavior. After all, she didn't have the charm of the man named Chu and she probably wouldn't be treated leniently. At least, she didn't plan to provoke these dragon kings again until her bloodline was upgraded to the first generation.

As a result, she stopped looking for the Dragon King and the Dragon King came looking for her instead.

In the original novel, Xia Mi appeared to go after Constantine's dragon bone cross, but now Constantine is not only alive but also about to hatch, and there is a Norton waiting beside him. What does this little dragon girl want to do? To divert Norton and steal the house?

But even if Norton has been lured away now, it doesn't mean that he won't come back. With his temper, he will explode on the spot if he finds out that his brother has been killed, right?
Besides, didn't the four monarchs have a blood pact? If they fought each other, they would be retaliated against, so Odin would only hide behind the scenes, picking up bones from Lu Mingfei, and never really took action.

But apart from Constantine, Yuan Zhinu couldn't think of any other reason. Could it be that Xiao Longnu came for her? But she was not Chu Zihang, and she didn't have such great charm.

I can’t understand it, but I have to be on guard.

With a cold face, Gen Chikyou pushed open the door of Uesugi Yue's office, ready to discuss something with him after he arrived. However, when she opened the door, she found the old man sitting inside handling official business, with a mountain of documents at hand.

Hearing the noise, Uesugi Yue raised his head, his expression visibly tired. When he saw it was Genjiro, he rubbed his temples and forced a smile.

"When did you come back, little girl?"

"Just now." Yuan Zhinv glanced at the dark circles under the old man's eyes and frowned slightly: "Have you been busy until now?"

"Alas, sometimes it's really hard to refuse to admit that you're old." Uesugi Yue sighed, his gray hair so obvious in the morning light: "Thinking back then, I was also an energetic and passionate young man..."

"There's no need to talk about what happened back then. Everyone has been young." Yuan Zhinv said, and walked over to flip through the documents in front of the old man. Looking at the densely packed government affairs and interpersonal relationships on it, her brows frowned even deeper.

"what is this?"

"A list of people to be taken care of." Uesugi Yue said, "and the people and things that need to be dealt with urgently after the Prime Minister's disappearance."

Genji was puzzled: "The Prime Minister is missing, what else is there to deal with?"

"...You don't think that if you want to control Japan, you just need to kill the Prime Minister?"

"What else? Kill all those who don't obey? Are they all on this list? Do you want me to kill them one by one?"

Uesugoshi: "..."

Looking at the clear eyes of the girl in front of him, Uesugi Yue suddenly understood how the elders who managed his family felt when they saw that he was uneducated.

No wonder the old chess master refused to take over the Snake Eight Families at that time. It was really troublesome and he wanted to just quit. Uesugi Yue suddenly missed the days of selling ramen on the streets of Tokyo.

Uesugi Etsu sighed deeply again, his voice becoming somewhat weak: "Japan is a responsible cabinet system, it is not the prime minister who has the final say, and the prime minister cannot resign whenever he wants. He is elected by the political party. If he wants to resign, he needs not only the cabinet's consent, but also the approval of the party."

"Now he inexplicably says he wants to resign, and then disappears the next second. Who can't see that there is something fishy going on? The entire cabinet is in chaos now. They should be able to guess that it's us soon."

"That is, he is just missing at the moment. If you had announced his death directly, the government would probably have gone to war with us by now."

Yuan Zhinu thought about the head she had chopped off and felt guilty: "What should I do now?"

"Fortunately, this sudden earthquake diverted their attention." Uesugi Yue rubbed his face vigorously and smiled bitterly, "I'll take care of it." "And this is not the point. The point is the secret party. The Snake Eight Families were originally the shadow government of Japan. The head of the family was called the Shadow Emperor. Later, he was severely hit by the secret party and gave up politics and cooperation with the underworld. Now we want to regain control of the government. There is no way the secret party will not respond."

Yuan Zhinu found that she had been thinking too simply. She thought that whoever disobeyed could be killed, but now it seems that is the behavior of a reckless man, and a reckless man cannot become an emperor.

But what should a smart person do? Yuan Zhinu had no idea at all. When she thought about it carefully, it seemed that she really only knew how to fight and kill.

Perhaps seeing the confusion of Genji, Uesugi Yue's eyes showed a little more pity: "It's okay, it's hard for you to think about these things, I'll do it, is there anything else you want?"

The tone sounded like "Be good, go play if you have nothing to do." Yuan Zhinv was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked a question: "Dad, if one day I am gone, will you feel more relaxed?"

"When I think about it, it seems like I'm the one who caused all the troubles Japan is facing now."

The girl's sudden words stunned Uesugi Yue.

But before he realized what this meant, Yuan Zhinv suddenly laughed again: "No, we are guarding the White King's wealth. We are the cursed bloodline. No matter who dies, as long as the curse remains, there will never be a relaxing day."

"But it's really hard to end the curse. I feel like if I want to kill the White Emperor, I have to sacrifice something of equal weight, like another Dragon King."

She stretched, as if she suddenly relaxed, and raised the corners of her mouth: "Dad, is there anything else I can help you with? But I only know how to fight and kill."

Looking at the smile on the girl's face, Uesugi Yue suddenly felt an indescribable depression in his heart for some reason, as if something bad was about to happen.

Maybe it's an illusion, he thought, but he couldn't help nagging: "You don't need to fight and kill, your brother is much more reliable than you, do you remember that you are injured? If you do this again, I won't say good things for you next time Xiao Mu gets angry."

Yuan Zhinu sighed, "I can't sit still. Dad, please let me work. I feel like my bones are getting rusty from lying down. Help me as much as I can while I have time. Wait for me later... I won't be here when school starts."

"Okay, okay, there's really nothing I can do about you." Shangshan Yue had no idea what to do, so he handed her a list helplessly: "Let these people disappear quietly forever, is there a problem?"

"Of course not." Genji smiled, took the list, and said casually, "Dad, you should take care of yourself. At the very least, you should live until brother and Sakura give birth to a child."

"Come to think of it, why aren't they together yet?" Genji complained. She turned and walked out, leaving Uesugi Yue, who was in a dilemma, saying she was talking nonsense, so much so that he didn't hear the girl's murmured sighs behind her.

"I don't think I'll be able to see it, what a shame."

……

In the following days, Gen Chinuo was busy outside almost every day. The list of people who needed to be purged was very long, and some of them were in high positions. It should be very difficult to assassinate them.

But it was not difficult for Genjitsu. One after another, famous or unknown people disappeared, and in contrast, there were concrete pillars one after another in the trench.

She didn't understand the twists and turns of management, nor did she understand the unspoken rules between political parties. She simply ignored everything and just served as her sword. She would kill whoever Uesugi told her to kill, and she even rarely returned to Genji Heavy Industries.

Sakurai Kogure came to see her several times, but Gen Chino didn't see her. She just stood in the shadows and watched the stubborn girl waiting at the door stubbornly from dawn to dusk.

Sakurai Kogure has great hostility towards Xia Mi and would stare at her coldly every time they meet. If looks could kill, Xia Mi would have been cut into pieces long ago.

But this lively girl didn't seem to care. One day when she passed by Sakurai Kogure on her way out, Xia Mi stuck out her tongue at her and said, "Don't wait, the little girl hasn't come back yet."

Sakurai Kogure didn't say anything, just looked at Xia Mi coldly.

Xia Mi made a face and skipped out of the door.

She has been going out a lot recently. After all, she is here to travel. Isn't it normal to go out and have fun? At first, some people followed her, but later, probably because they thought she was too ordinary, no one paid attention to her.

The beautiful girl in the skirt hummed a song and merged into the crowd, like a happy deer running into the jungle, and soon disappeared.

After imitating humans for so many years, Xia Mi was confident that she had mastered it to perfection, because sometimes she herself could not tell whether she was Xia Mi or... Jörmungandr.

This is probably the highest level of deception. She could even deceive herself. Who else in this world can't she deceive?
Those ignorant prey are busy all day long, unaware that the hunter is observing them curiously. Xia Mi likes this feeling, so she always likes to go to crowded places. Watching human joys and sorrows is like watching an interesting ethics drama.

But now is obviously not the time to play. It was really wrong to indulge myself in the past few days. If I continue playing, Norton will probably come back. Xia Mi had no choice but to work.

The advantage of her bloodline allows her to easily get rid of everyone quietly. What's more, the most dangerous guy has been out on a mission and hasn't returned for several days, so she doesn't need to worry at all.

Xia Mi walked into the Paradise Hall in broad daylight. The building that was as magnificent as a palace was empty inside. She walked towards the basement as if she was familiar with the place. Her vision was getting dimmer and dimmer, but she didn't care at all.

He casually lit the burning stick, and the bright light instantly illuminated the dim world, but the next moment Xia Mi was stunned.

Because not far in front of her, a girl with short hair was standing against the wall, looking at her calmly.

Next to the girl was not her strange blood-red knife, but a strange bronze knife box.
