"Gu Jun is certainly outspoken." Yuan Zhinü smiled at Yuan Zhisheng. "Brother, what do you say?"
“We’ve discussed it and we don’t plan to have a wedding.” Genji smiled and took Sakura’s hand. “If everyone doesn’t mind, let’s treat today as our wedding banquet and we’ll host everyone.”
"Great, cheers!" Gu Ran raised his beer bottle. "Wishing you both a happy marriage."
The rest of the people also raised their glasses and beer bottles. Erii raised hers the highest. She didn't know who she learned it from, but she mixed beer with sake and Sprite and drank it together.
After the toasts, the atmosphere inside the store became even more lively and harmonious.
After chatting for a while, Yuan Zhinu asked Gu Ran, "You must have come here for something, right?"
Gu Ran looked at him and smiled: "There are indeed some things."
"Oh? Looks like you're looking for me." Yuan Zhinu could tell the meaning behind Gu Ran's expression.
Gu Ran looked at the crow.
Crow pulled a stack of documents from inside his black trench coat and handed them to Genji: "Recently, there have been several cases of remnants of the Oni Clan committing crimes. The most eye-catching is the breeding of dragon subspecies in Hokkaido. They plan to use 'hellhounds' to carry out terrorist attacks. If they succeed, I'm afraid no one in the entire Hokkaido will survive."
Yuan Zhinu frowned, flipped through the documents, and quickly finished reading them.
This was the first time Yuan Zhisheng had heard about this matter today. He reached out and took the file from Yuan Zhinu, then frowned and read it through.
“It seems things are serious.” Genjiro looked at Genjiro. “Can you still contact the Oni Clan?”
“The Demon Clan left behind a special communication method. I don’t know if it still works, but I’ll give it a try,” said Genjiro.
“You don’t need to do it yourself. Just give us the code, and we’ll set up the arrest.” Gu Ran said, “It’s rare that you’ve moved on from the past. There’s no need to step back into it.”
Crow nodded: "Yes, just tell us how to contact them. There's no need for you, Second Young Master, to get involved in all this."
“Okay, thank you, thank you for thinking of me.” Yuan Zhinu nodded and said, “I will go back tonight and organize the information and send it to you. If I’m not mistaken, there shouldn’t be many of the Ghost Clan’s officers left. If there are any left, they are just small fry. My code can only contact the officers, and I can’t contact the lower-ranking people.”
“That’s enough. Many of the troublemakers are cadres now; they have organizational skills,” the crow said.
After finishing that story, Crow talked about something else. He reported to Genjiro that Gu Ran treated the ghosts in the family in a way that resembled that of a homebody.
After listening, Genji thought for a moment and said, "That is indeed a way. As long as they are willing to move into the house, it is their own choice of life, and it is a free choice."
He looked at Gu Ran and said, "I have to thank you for your suggestion. This way, those ghosts will receive better care and better entertainment. Even if they are entertained to death, they will have been happy and addicted."
Chapter 621 Discussion of the Apocalypse
The method Gu Ran mentioned was actually just to make these ghosts serve their sentences in a more humane way, using dopamine to control them.
If this continues for too long, even if someone were to come and incite these demons to rebel against the Snake-Headed Eight Families, it would be impossible.
Because these ghosts are all fat and healthy, and they stay at home for a long time without exercising, how can they fight against the main family's execution bureau?
Overall, this is a method that is more beneficial than harmful, allowing these ghosts to willingly serve their sentences in jail.
For those who don't want to go to jail, the only option is to implant a miniature bomb in their heart. You can't just leave a time bomb in society and ignore it.
Making them addicted to the internet requires almost no cost.
This group of people hadn't gotten together in a long time, and everyone enjoyed the meal. The grilled bluefin tuna was incredibly fresh and delicious, needing no seasoning at all. Gu Ran ate over a pound of the tuna belly meat by herself; it truly melted in her mouth.
When the crow asked why the old man wasn't there, Genji explained that Uesugi was staying at a monastery in France and would only visit him occasionally.
The meal lasted until almost 10 p.m., and the crows cawed as they went to the public bathhouse to take a bath together.
It seems that this is the typical workplace habit of Japanese people: after working together, they go to a restaurant, then a bathhouse, and then a late-night snack stall for beer.
After taking a shower, Gu Ran decided not to drink with them anymore and went back to the hotel to sleep.
But a girl seemed to have been waiting for him to come out of the bathhouse, and she pulled him directly into the ping-pong room.
"What's wrong?" Gu Ran asked Erii.
Erii was wearing a yukata and didn't have a notebook, which made things a little inconvenient. She seemed to be thinking about how to express herself properly.
Seeing this, Gu Ran handed his phone to Erii. His phone was a Sony rugged phone, which he usually carried with him.
Erii wrote on her phone's notepad: "I want to see Sakura."
Gu Ran was taken aback for a moment: "Okay, I'll make a video call to him for you."
Erii shook her head: "Take me to see him, I want to see him."
Do you miss him a lot?
Erika nodded.
"So what do you want to do with him after you meet him?" Gu Ran asked.
Erii typed: "I want to cook something delicious for him."
Gu Ran reached out and patted her head, nodding, "Then we need to talk to Yuan Zhisheng about this."
"You go and say it for me." Erii looked at Gu Ran pitifully, clearly she had mentioned this to Genjiro before.
Her expressions are very vivid now. Although most of the time her eyes are still dull and lifeless, she becomes full of life when she wants to express something.
Gu Ran agreed: "Okay, I'll talk to your brother. But you'll need to dye your hair again, and you'll need to bring enough serum and medicine."
Erii nodded vigorously: "When are we leaving?"
"So urgent?"
"I want to see you soon."
"Then I should call and ask Lu Mingfei where he is now." Gu Ran took the phone back from Erii and sent a voice message to Lu Mingfei on QQ.
But he didn't answer, so Gu Ran contacted EVA: "Where is Lu Mingfei? I need to talk to him."
"Lu Mingfei is preparing to go to South America to deal with the matter of Boar Neo. The executive department has decided to send him to Brazil in about a week. He is currently collecting data and making mission arrangements."
The matter of Boar Neo was submitted to the Secret Party by the Snake Clan after their meeting in the morning.
The Secret Service has always been quick to react to such matters, and the Japanese branch had already gathered all the necessary information; all the Secret Service had to do was carry it out.
Therefore, the executive department quickly made action arrangements.
"Um... if I want to go to South America, could you help me find a suitable reason?" Gu Ran asked EVA.
"According to the tradition of Kassel College, freshmen must participate in an Executive Department operation during their first year, allowing them to witness firsthand the battlefield against dragons or undead. The Executive Department also uses this opportunity to assess the freshmen's psychological resilience. With my authority, I can arrange for you to become the instructor for this year's freshmen."
"Nice! Long live Senior Sister!"
"Friendly reminder: it's summer in Brazil right now, so remember to bring plenty of summer clothes." EVA's voice was slightly playful. "I'm going to assign you a task, which should be sent to your email in about two hours."
"Goodbye, senior sister!"
Goodbye, junior brother.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Ran patted Erii's head and said, "I heard you. We won't see each other for another week."
Erii nodded, satisfied.
After that, Gu Ran went to talk to Yuan Zhisheng about it.
Genji sighed, looking at Erii hiding behind Gu Ran, and thought to himself that girls really are hard to keep at home once they grow up.
She had been pestering him to go see Lu Mingfei, but they were no longer on the list, and it was too risky for them to take the initiative to see Lu Mingfei.
“If you can be a good guardian, I can let her go with you,” Yuan Zhisheng said to Gu Ran.
"No problem." Gu Ran agreed to be the guardian.
Genjiro stepped past Gu Ran and pinched Erii's cheek. "You can go, but you have to listen to Gu Ran. Can you promise me that?"
Erii nodded, extended her right pinky finger, and made a pinky promise with Genjiro.
Yuan Zhisheng smiled and extended his finger, pulling it against hers, thus reaching an agreement.
*……*……*
Over the next few days, Gu Ran took advantage of his free time to return to Shanghai and hang out with Su Xiaoqiang.
He brought Liu Miaomiao a set of seven limited edition swimsuit figures from K-On!
The obedient girl was overjoyed to see the limited edition figurine and generously treated Gu Ran and Su Xiaoqiang to a lavish meal at the Oriental Pearl Tower restaurant.
Then I touched each of the figurines one by one at home.
"I didn't expect you could buy Azusa's figure, that's really rare!" Liu Miaomiao touched Nakano Azusa's slender waist, preparing to change her clothes.
Gu Ran bought her a set of seven figurines, including the four main characters, Wuyou, Azimiao, and the teacher.
He specially bought it through the connections of the Snake-Headed Eight Family at the eyeglasses factory.
Having settled things with the little light bulb, Gu Ran naturally wanted to play some pretend games with Su Xiaoqiang in the room.
"I also want to go to South America, is that not allowed?" Su Xiaoqiang, wearing a nightgown, lay on Gu Ran's chest, her hand groping his large pectoral muscles.
“South America is too far and too chaotic. I’m afraid I won’t be able to take care of you this time.” Gu Ran pulled her into his arms and stroked her smooth back. “Let’s wait… until the year after next. After 2012, I’ll take you to South America again.”
“2012…” Su Xiaoqiang thought of the movie “2012” she had seen before, and asked, “So, will there really be an apocalypse?”
"Hmm... I can't say for sure." Gu Ran lowered his head and rubbed his cheek against her head. "Anyway, I'll try my best to prevent the end of the world."
"Why should you fight for it?" Su Xiaoqiang seemed to sense something, and she hugged him like a koala, using both her arms and legs. "Are you going to do something dangerous?"
"It's not really dangerous. Everything is going according to plan. It's just that I'm a little unsure about the last step... Anyway, it shouldn't end badly."
"The worst possible outcome?"
"It is the destruction of the world, the great constraint of history, an inescapable fate, the Good Friday of the kings. The Lord of Despair rises from the abyss, wielding two watermelon knives, cutting from the North Pole to the South Pole."
"So... Ragnarok?" Su Xiaoqiang had actually heard some things about dragons from Zhang Qiong and Zhang Wanjun, and she also knew that Norse mythology was actually the history of dragons.
"So what exactly is Ragnarok?" she continued. "Isn't it said to be just a legend? Not real? Neither the Secret Society nor the East has taken this legend seriously."
“The East doesn’t believe this legend because it has its own inherited worldview, but the Secret Party… it’s just that some people deliberately ignored this legend,” Gu Ran said.
"Ragnarok?"
"First, the ocean currents crashed against all the coastal cities, then the cities built on the earthquake zone were destroyed one by one. Major rivers changed course, and no creature in the Amazon rainforest was spared. Supervolcanic eruptions were inevitable, and volcanic ash would rise to a height of ten kilometers, obscuring the Earth for several years. Humanity did not have time to build enough underground shelters, so they had no choice but to take up arms for survival, including dragons and hybrids. This is Ragnarok."
“It sounds like an apocalypse,” Su Xiaoqiang said. “I heard that’s how dinosaurs went extinct.”
"Are dinosaurs actually dragons? That involves another aspect of reptile knowledge." Gu Ran pondered for a moment, then perked up. "Don't worry, I won't let what I mentioned happen."
"In those final moments, will you come back?" Su Xiaoqiang pressed her cheek against his shoulder. "Whether the world can be saved or not, you have to promise me you'll come back, okay?"
Seeing that Gu Ran did not answer, she continued, "I don't care if this world will be destroyed or not, I only want you. Without you, even if this world is saved, I feel it has no meaning."
