475. X Restore X!
As the World Conference is approaching, the search and arrest operation in the upper Kyoto metropolitan area is centered on the upper Kyoto metropolitan area and radiates in all directions.
More than ten days passed, some unknown cats and dogs were arrested, and some wanted criminals who had been on the run for many years were also arrested by accident.
However, the clown-masked man who caused the upheaval in Shangjing half a month ago still didn't even see a shadow.
Human beings are forgetful, and so are celestial beings.
Generally, things like this that have been pursued for a long time without fruit will be quickly forgotten, let alone half a month, people will choose to chase the next hot event after a week.
However, this time there was a tripartite joint search and arrest of Higashinohara's Judgment Department, the Security Department, and the Heavenly Guide Nine Blades, but there was an unusual aura in the silence.
The hunt for masked people continues to heat up, and it seems that there is one... or even several invisible hands behind them.
It is conceivable that once the target is discovered, it will be a fatal blow like a mighty storm.
But unfortunately,
After the clown-masked man made two shocking news in the upper Kyoto area for two consecutive days, it seemed as if he had disappeared during this period of time.
There was no longer any trace.
More than one person in the three-party joint search force felt that that cunning guy might have escaped from the upper Kyoto area and surrounding countries, and might even go into exile in the West Sea like Dorothy Alita.
This speculation is very likely.
However, they are only executors, not decision makers, so they can only dig deep and continue to search.
Half a month passed in a blink of an eye.
Soon it was the last day of May.
May 31st.
This day is not a special day.
The reason why people stop and pause,
But it is because tomorrow will enter June.
At the beginning of June, the "World Conference" that many people have been waiting for for a long time will come.
this night,
The black building of the Tribunal.
The twelve adjudicators of the Judgment Division are dead, and now there are only four arbitrators left in the huge adjudication department.
Waiting beside the old man at this moment is a man named "Ulduar", who is also the eighth adjudicator with the highest existing sequence below the first adjudicator in the current adjudication department.
"Sorry to disappoint you."
Ulduar bent his body, trying his best to make himself look more humble and respectful, and he needed such a gesture in front of this old man.
The old man sitting by the bed was wearing a black retro formal suit, looking at the orange setting sun outside the window, his eyes returned to the chessboard in front of him, and after gently putting down a chess piece, his tone was not too much He asked disappointedly, "There is still no news, right?"
"yes."
Ulduar's body bent even lower.
After he finished speaking, he hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but said, "Do you think that guy is no longer in the country near Shangjing? Or is he not on land?"
"Will not."
The old man didn't turn his head. After gently moving the chess piece, he shook his head without thinking, "He won't leave here, let alone go to sea."
The old man's voice was unhurried, but inexplicably filled with an unconsciously convincing feeling.
After a little hesitation, Ulduar still couldn't help asking, "Why?"
Just finished asking this sentence,
He gave himself a mouthful in his heart.
At this time, the Judgment Envoys are not accepted, which is a great time to be promoted to the sequence. If you can't seize this opportunity, it will be too late to cry until the "airborne troops" occupy the positions of the previous adjudication envoys.
But he asked this question at this juncture, which is undoubtedly a mindless "point deduction operation".
However, the old man who was concentrating on playing chess with himself didn't seem to have too many thoughts. Hearing the words, he said casually, "Because his identity has not been revealed, as long as his identity is not revealed, that man will always stay at the beginning. It's a habit of his."
Ulduar was taken aback by the eighth ruling, and then nodded thoughtfully.
But at this moment, after putting down a chess piece, the old man suddenly raised his head and looked at him, "How are the investigations of those 'spirited fighters' who revived from the ashes a month ago?"
The so-called "war against barbarians" is naturally the name given by those humans who launched the "battle against barbarians" when heaven and man first arrived in this world thousands of years ago.
Not many people remember and use it nowadays, but the intelligence network of the Judgment Division has recently discovered that this name seems to be showing signs of revival.
Hearing this question, the eighth ruling made Ulduar slightly stunned, and immediately lowered his head to report:
"As you expected, after the forces of the Dawn Revolutionary Army disintegrated a month ago, recently there was a force behind the scenes to promote and integrate many scattered rebel organizations, including the Dawn Revolution. It seems to be called something. Sakamoto Dragon?"
"The dragon of Sakamoto?" the old man asked.
"That's right, it is said that they are a group of pirates from the East China Sea, whose ancestors originated from the people who fought against barbarians thousands of years ago." Ulduar nodded immediately.
"hehe."
There was a smile on the old man's face, he shook his head, the smile faded away and he said, "The chaos in the past year seems to have originated from that small country in the East China Sea, and the people in that country are really unwilling to be lonely. .”
Ulduar had an idea, and took the initiative to ask for instructions, "The delegation from the Wano Kingdom to the World Conference has arrived in the upper Kyoto area, should we put some pressure on it?"
"No need."
The old man raised his eyes and looked at the setting sun, which meant that the last point of May would also pass away without any surprise.
Finally, there was no smile on his face at all, and he said in a somewhat indifferent tone, "There is nothing in this world that does not require a price. The difference is only when it will be sooner or later."
the next day,
June 1st.
Higashinohara, who has been hiding his teeth and claws for nearly a whole month, got up at 7 o'clock in the morning. Today, he did not maintain his original running habit to go for a morning run. Instead, he slept until he woke up naturally and had breakfast first thing after opening his eyes.
Sibo Yu in the dormitory noticed the change in Higashinohara's living habits today.
"Team leader Tokugawa took you to the scene today?"
The question was so inexplicable that the other people in the dormitory were stunned for a few seconds before they realized it—the scene referred to the world conference that will be held in the "Red Hall" in the upper Kyoto metropolitan area today.
Higashinohara nodded with a smile when he heard the words, then turned his head and replied, "Well, team leader Tokugawa is worried about Mirina, and he is afraid that he will not have time to be distracted when he is busy, so let me take care of it."
This reason is reasonable.
But even so, Si Boyou finally showed undisguised envy for the first time.
When Higashinohara went out, he suddenly said seriously, "The future of Wano Country is today, don't forget to let us know if you have any first-hand news."
"no problem."
Higashinohara smiled back and waved his hands, and said casually, "Don't be too nervous, there are so many countries in the World Conference, and those big shots in Shangjing might not care about Wano Country at all."
Unexpectedly, hearing this, instead of being comforted, everyone showed bitterness.
After this month, as long as the big guys are not blind, anyone can see the continuous heating up of the big manhunt on Dongyeyuan.
But Higashinohara just came from Wano Country. Those big figures who went to Beijing at this world conference may forget that everyone will not forget Wano Country.
Seeing this, Higashinohara also reacted a bit, smiled wryly in his heart, shook his head, turned around and was ready to go.
Today is the first day of the World Conference.
He didn't lie, this trip was really invited by Tokugawa Kuritora, so he didn't plan to do it today.
Higashinohara just wanted to go and see the thunderstorm that the big shots in Shangjing had been brewing for a month.
Who will it fall on in the end?
