The world is restarting
Chapter 275 Ancient Scroll
Tsuchimikado hovered his finger on the screen for a moment, and pressed the call button, "This is Yuan Yi."
"Mr. Yuanyi!" The assistant's voice rushed out of the receiver, the panic in his tone was very clear against the silence of the night, "Is Miss Zetian with you?"
Tsuchimikado Motoharu's heart skipped a beat, the ominous foreboding shadow generally expanded, "Not here."
He quickly answered, "What happened to her, let's start from the beginning."
"Miss Zetian is not in the hotel right now." The assistant on the other end of the phone managed to maintain his composure and said in an orderly manner, "Master Renzuzu and Miss Zetian live in the same presidential suite, and when he woke up in the middle of the night to drink water, he found Miss Zetian The door of the master bedroom where I slept was open, there was no one on the bed, and the window in the living room was also open. Miss Zetian and Xiaoye-kun disappeared together, as well as the cat she picked up today. The note I gave him was written by Ms. Zetian, on a hotel note, it said that she was going out on business and would be back tomorrow."
"Master Ninzuzu woke us up immediately after discovering this. I had already contacted the manager of the hotel two minutes ago and asked to check the monitoring. Now I am walking to the monitoring room."
"The monitoring sent me a copy."
Tsuchimikado and his assistant explained a few words, then hung up the phone with a sullen expression.
"Miss Mi has an accident?" Baba closed the chat window with Enoki and raised his head.
"It's not sure yet, although it looks like she left voluntarily, but I can't figure out why she did so."
Tsuchimikado lowered his head and pressed his mobile phone to contact his other subordinates scattered in Hakata, with a dignified tone, "Miss is a very sensible child, in order not to worry the people around her, she never does anything out of the ordinary. It doesn't matter Reason, she would never leave the hotel in the middle of the night without saying hello."
This is not the first time Machang has heard him say so many words, jokingly, teasingly, more or less always with a little indifference, but not like now, his tone is very serious, even with a hint of anxiety, so serious that it makes him feel uncomfortable. Some people feel that this person, who is rare to see in a century, is going to be serious.
"Actually, I found out last time." Ma Chang observed his expression and said suddenly, "You care about that child unexpectedly."
Tsuchimikado Motoharu paused, and raised his head without any flaws in his expression, "What?"
"Jinggu Park," Machang was not deceived by his performance, "You didn't plan to act with Miss Mi at first, did you, you came here pretending to meet me when you saw me unexpectedly appear."
"There was also that time in the clubhouse, because I didn't know my intentions, so I came up alone to reveal my identity. As an onmyoji, facing a killer who is proficient in melee combat, according to your previous style, you don't seem to be someone who will take the initiative to suffer such a disadvantage... ...It looks careless on the surface, but that child is actually quite important to you."
not very important...
Tsuchimikado Motoharu didn't answer, just lowered his head calmly, and continued to issue orders to Hakata's subordinates.
Not very important, he retorted calmly in his heart, that was the existence he would risk his life to protect.
Ten minutes later, the assistant sent him the surveillance video of the corridor in front of the presidential suite.
The time showed 55:10 in the morning, a middle-aged man with half-white hair dressed as an onmyoji waiter stopped outside the suite door and knocked on the door.At 10:[-], the door opened, and a little girl with long silver hair appeared in front of the door, revealing a piece of dark blue monk robe behind her, which should be Xiao Ye Zuowen who was following her.She talked with the visitor for about [-] minutes, then turned around and went back to the living room. After another [-] minutes, she changed into the clothes she was going out, walked out with Xiaoye Zuowen and left with the onmyoji.
Onmyoji's face was clearly captured by the camera of the monitor, and he didn't mean to shy away from the camera at all.That face was so impressive to Tsuchimikado Motoharu that he would never forget it until he died. He had already recognized that person as soon as he entered the camera.
"...Tsuchimikado Motoka."
Ma Chang: "Who?"
"The former head of the Tuyumen family." The blond boy stared deeply at the petite figure on the screen who followed Yuan He away, the emotions in his eyes were strange and complicated, like an undercurrent suddenly rising under the frozen sea, and a fierce conflict Emotions are reflected in the outside world, but there is silence.
Tsuchimikado Motoharu had no expression on his face, and said in a voice that could not hear the temperature, "I know why the young lady left with him."
"you……"
"What?" Tsuchimikado turned around.
"It's nothing."
Bachang watched his calm expression, and pressed back the question that he almost said.
Were you happy just now?
Or you can't use "happy", but a kind of extreme joy.
He actually wanted to ask this question, but the dark world's default not to probe into other people's inner rules made him stop again.
What's more, after that moment of brightness, the gloom and darkness that rolled up on this person almost made people's heart palpitate.
"It's nothing." Machang took out his mobile phone and looked down. "I just asked Enoda to check the surveillance in the public area near the hotel. Do you want to check it?"
"Thanks, send it to me."
Tsuchimikado Motoharu finished watching the video sent by Enoda at quadruple speed, and then his face darkened.
"Tsuchimikado Moto and the visitor are not kind."
Bachang: "Isn't he from the Tsuchiyamen family?"
Seeing the respectful attitude of the eldest daughter of the Tuyumen family, Tuyumen Xinyu, towards Sawada Ya, he was a little confused about how to do "unkindness".
"Yuanhe is the former head of the Tuyumen family." The relationship network of the Tuyumen family is as messy as a knot of wool, and Tuyumen Motoharu himself is too lazy to deal with it, and now he has no patience to explain it to Baba as an outsider in detail. "You just need to know that his resignation is related to the eldest lady, and this person's philosophy is different from that of the current patriarch, Tuyumen Yuanye. I told you that in Yuanhe, those who are incapable are weak, and some people In the eyes of the weak, it is a matter of course for the weak to make sacrifices for the strong who protect the majority."
The two had already returned to the car, and the night outside the car window was sinking, like a dark curtain covering the window glass, and there were still nearly two hours before dawn.
What Tsuchimikado Motoharu said really made people feel a little uncomfortable, Baba frowned, "But Miss Mi is not incompetent."
"The crux of the problem is here." Tsuchimikado turned his gaze out of the window, and the high-rise buildings in the distance were lit up with dots of lights, and the social animals who came to the company early had already started a day of hard work.
"Yuanhe's hostility is not aimed at the eldest lady, but at other people... Do you remember the Kyoto a year ago?"
Ma Chang's heart was shocked, but his face remained calm, "You mean to say..."
"At best, what happened in Kyoto will happen again." The words were relaxed, but Tsuchimikado's eyes completely darkened, "Prepare for the worst."
The atmosphere was instantly quiet.
Tsuchimikado Motoharu put his hands in his pockets and leaned against the back of the chair, looking sideways out the window thinking about something.
His people have not been able to provide any effective clues for the time being, and the monitoring of Hakata's intelligence office has not captured where Tsuchimikado Motoka went.
As expected, after all, it is not difficult for an onmyoji like Tsuchimikado Motokazu to cover up his whereabouts. He probably showed his face in front of the camera on purpose when he was in the hotel.
It is not difficult to guess why the eldest lady followed him, but what he wanted to know was what did the man want the eldest lady to do for him?
Although there is the bottom line that Tsuchimikado Motoka will never hurt her, there is always a string in his mind tightened.
"It won't hurt" is just an overly objective expression. What if Yuan He wants her to do something she doesn't want to do?
"...I don't know what she's doing now." He murmured softly.
That child was raised so squeamish, and he couldn't sleep at night and ran out in the cold and windy, and was told such things, probably very unhappy.
However, imagining the little loli gasping into a ball, I don't know why it feels a little cute.
Tsuchimikado Motoharu's thoughts diverged for a while, he let the soft emotion rest in his heart for a few seconds, and gently closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, his expression had returned to his usual half-smile, and there was a bit of coldness in his eyes, "Is there no news about that fat man?"
"He said he went back to look for it. It should be... ah, the information is here."
Baba Zenzhi opened the email sent by the client, which contained two high-definition scanned pictures.
Tsuchimikado recalled a detail before, the evil spirit suddenly rushed over, it seemed that the main purpose was not to attack the client, but to steal something.When he was stopped by his barrier, he also struggled to send that thing out, so he stayed and confronted him.
The ancient scroll brought by the client is the key item.
It's a pity that he was afraid of the dark aura coming from the sandalwood box at that time, so he didn't open it directly to take a look.Fortunately, the client was not afraid of death and kept the ancient scroll of unknown origin at home for a long time, and even scanned it.When the horse farm asked him about it, the fat man immediately said that he still had the electronic file, which was a great help.
The first scanned copy is the cover of the ancient scroll, the edge of the dark back cover is slightly damaged, and four Chinese characters are written in beautiful cursive at the beginning of the ancient scroll, "Book of Ugly Time".
The characters used by the nobles and the upper class in the Heian-kyo period were Chinese characters from the Tang Dynasty. At that time, pseudonyms were only used among women, and important documents to be recorded were all written in Chinese characters.From this point of view, it is not difficult to understand why the appraisers at the auction doubt the authenticity of the ancient scrolls. After all, the paper scrolls more than 1000 years ago can still be preserved so well, which is very problematic in itself.
Of course Motoharu Tsuchimikado has learned Chinese characters. After all, Abe Seimei, the pinnacle of Onmyoji, lived in the Heian-kyo era, and many of his manuscripts and "Zhan Shi Lue Jue" were written in Chinese characters.Except for him, the manuscripts left by the onmyojis of that era are all in Chinese. If he can't understand Chinese characters, how can he be such an important document.
There were only these four characters on the cover of the ancient scroll, and Tsuchimikado glanced at it and motioned for the racecourse to turn down.
The picture in the next chapter is the text of the ancient scroll, as expected, all of them are Chinese characters, and there are brightly colored pictures under each line... This makes it even more fake.
After all, ancient pigments are basically made of minerals, and some colors are even more expensive than gold. After so many years, they can still be so bright and bright. The appraiser who suspected that the ancient scrolls were deliberately made old by later generations really had a brain of.
But Tuyumen Motoharu knew that the ancient scroll was real.
"Normal" in the eyes of ordinary people does not represent the normal state in the eyes of onmyojis, and this ancient scroll should not have appeared in the world of ordinary people.
"Mao You, Feng Li, Gu Cage Fire, Wild Quilt..."
Tsuchimikado Motoharu identified them one by one, and finally let out a soft "hiss", "It's a big scene."
Ma Chang: "What the hell is this?"
"Brother Bachang, have you ever played a summoning game like Onmyoji? This is equivalent to the summoning scroll in the game. Tsk..." He clicked his tongue a little unhappily, "So that's why they took away the eldest lady? "
"Mr. Yuanyi!" The assistant's voice rushed out of the receiver, the panic in his tone was very clear against the silence of the night, "Is Miss Zetian with you?"
Tsuchimikado Motoharu's heart skipped a beat, the ominous foreboding shadow generally expanded, "Not here."
