Dragon Raja 5; Chapter 96: Thunder and the Watcher (6)

Dragon Raja 5

The heavy truck that had been waiting there drove over, opened its cargo hold, and faced the tail door of the cargo plane.

A forklift drove out of the cargo hold and delivered a giant wooden box more than one person tall into the truck. The surface of the wooden box was painted with strange totems in red paint.

This is why a cargo plane had to be used, the seven deadly sins were just brought along.

Perhaps it had been bumped during transport, one of the planks had broken, revealing the cargo within. It appeared to be a solid block of ice, emitting a faint chill in the summer night. No wonder they were using a low-temperature warehouse; otherwise, during summer transport, the ice would have melted considerably.

“Are those?” Fujiwara Nobunosuke shuddered.

“Don’t ask questions. First of all, I don’t know more than you. Secondly, even if I knew, I couldn’t answer.” Lancelot stretched out a finger and waved it to stop Fujiwara Nobunosuke’s curiosity.

“The ghost has been delivered,” the pilot patted Lancelot on the shoulder, “remember to keep it in the cold storage.”

When Wu Ya pushed the door open, Lu Mingfei, NuoNuo and Chu Zihang were playing paper mahjong together.

“Did I walk into the wrong place?” Crow threw the food he brought on the sofa. “I sneaked into a small, swanky hotel and went to a room occupied by two men and one woman. I opened the door and found them playing mahjong. Do you all realize that you are wanted criminals?”

“With nothing to do, are we just going to look at each other with sad faces?” Nuonuo shrugged.

They stayed in this love hotel for three days. It was raining outside the window all the time. After doing nothing for a long time, people felt bored as if they were going to grow mushrooms. So Nuonuo asked Lu Mingfei to bring back this set of paper mahjong when he went out to buy something.

“I’m impressed! But how can three of you play mahjong?”

“And here’s me, Brother Saeki! Everybody hold your cards close, I have a straight flush!” The phone on the armrest of the sofa lit up, and the big head on the screen waved to the crow.

“You have to leave Tokyo as soon as possible.” Crow sat down on the ground and threw a folder in front of Nono.

Nuonuo flipped it open and took a look, and immediately saw Susie’s photo.

It was taken shortly after she started school. She was a gentle girl with thin eyebrows and a bit of baby fat, not the black lightning-like decapitation girl she is today.

“Susie, codenamed Thunder, is one of the strongest of the academy’s new generation of decapitators. Her partner is Lancelot, codenamed Watcher, a strategic expert. They command a very elite team, all of whom are your friends and understand your ways,” Crow pointed at Lu Mingfei, “but they may not understand you, because you have become a monster. According to our intelligence, a shipment disguised as medical supplies was unloaded at a suburban airport last night. Lancelot and Fujiwara Nobunosuke went to pick it up. We can’t be sure what’s inside, but it’s definitely not an X-ray machine.”

Nono flipped through the pages and saw pictures of Isabel, Victoria, Gonzalez, and finally Lancelot.

These photos, like Susie’s, were taken when he was in school. In the photos, Lancelot still had long flowing hair and dreamed of forming his own band.

I guess Crow found a way to get this information from the college headquarters. For graduates like Susie who want to be trained as beheaders, the executive department hide her information secretly. All Crow found were the photos of them when they enrolled.

“So Lancelot has already arrived in Tokyo?” Nono said.

“Yes, he came in on a Japan Airlines flight and didn’t hide his whereabouts at all. He doesn’t care.” Crow said, “He is telling you that he has arrived in Tokyo and he is going to hunt you down. There is no way you can escape.”

Lu Mingfei and Nuonuo looked at each other.

That was indeed Lancelot’s style. He might not have been a brilliant warrior, but he was certainly a brilliant tactician. He was like a chess player, sitting opposite his target, and you had no choice but to play along. You want to just get up and run? Sorry, Lancelot also calculated that you wanted to run.

“That’s the situation. It’s a small hunting group, but it’s very difficult to deal with,” Crow continued. “They also have that strange clapper sound. All we need to do is transcribe it into some kind of player and use it as a sound bomb. Throw one at Lu Jun whenever we see him. Then, Miss Chen will be the only one left among you who can fight.”

In front of Nono, he did not mention that the video was provided by Gattuso’s family, nor did he mention that Gattuso’s envoy had arrived. It sounded like the in-laws were chasing the daughter-in-law who had run away from marriage.

Just would tell Lu Mingfei about it afterwards.

“Do you think we can’t avoid them?” Nono asked.

“It’s difficult. Kaguya is mobilizing all computing resources to block the EVA invasion, but it’s only a matter of time before it’s breached. Once Kaguya’s place is lost, all your actions in Japan will be exposed in broad daylight. You can’t even go out for a bowl of ramen like last time. You might be captured by some camera.”     

“It seems they have other ways to search for us.” Nono pondered, “Remember that time at the Mongolian border? We were stopped by people from the Russian branch.”
