Volume 2: Crisis Acceptance Chapter 8: Ghostly Shadows

  The sand was lurking in Kawaki's eyes like a sly enemy, and Yoshiko had no choice but to carry him to the mining hospital under Fuji Corporation. Under the gaze of everyone, being carried by a woman, although embarrassing, is something that any man would dream of. Therefore, even if he resented Yoshiko very much, Kawaki was still very willing to be carried by her.

  "Hooray! Hooray!"

  "Did the black team just get their hands on the white team's deputy?"

  "It's that simple for Hei Dui to make men sleep!"

  "Does a woman still need a man when she sleeps?"

  …………

  From the continuous praise or comments of the Crow Team, Kawariki Masahiro felt what it means to be envied and resented, this is the effect he needs. Of course, it's also hard to resist the tempting body scent of Mochizuki.

  After putting down the Kawasaki and instructing the doctor, Yoshiko left. As the leader of the Japanese Army's Crow Corps, she had a million things to take care of every day, and there were more important things to do than romantic entanglements.

  After the mud and sand in his eyes were washed clean, Chuanji rested at the hospital for a while. When he left the hospital, it was already late afternoon, and the sun had slightly retracted its sharp edge after revealing itself for a day. He prepared to go down the mountain to rest. The shops near the hospital had all closed, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street. Dogs were searching for delicious leftover food in front of small restaurants. Wealthy families had hung lanterns under the eaves of their own homes, while beggars went from door to door asking for alms. Street cleaners were tidying up the garbage, making the street scene even more chaotic and filthy. Occasionally, a group of Japanese soldiers passed by - they were a mining guard team specially hired by Fuji Mountain Corporation from Manchuria. They hurriedly rushed towards their club like returning crows.

  To make these imperial soldiers live and work in peace, to escort them to get more profits in the coal industry, Dainihon Fuji Sangyo Kabushiki Kaisha spared no expense to establish this first-class Japanese military club in China, attracting many women with its excellent location, providing services for the mine guard troops 24 hours a day.

  Like an autumn leaf blown away by the wind, he drifted alone in this strange city. The encounter at the Crow Team's training base was like a shadow that followed him all the way, no matter how hard he tried to shake it off. When he walked into a quiet alley, he looked around cautiously, but didn't see anyone in black. This situation made him think of escaping wildly. However, this thought flashed by instantly. Because he knew that Mei Chizuko must have taken precautions against him. The unusually calm streets often hid murderous intentions.

  The experiences of the past few days made Chuanji feel that this Crow team should be a special task force, with depths that were unimaginable and even terrifying. Therefore, the quietness of the desolate place made him feel that there were eyes staring at him all around, the dark gun barrels moving along with his body as he walked, his spine tingling like a cold wind passing through, permeating his entire body, entering his bones... Thinking about these things, his body couldn't help but shudder.

  He walked out of the quiet alley and onto the main street, where he saw a nightclub with flashing neon lights. Feeling hungry, he decided to go in and fill his stomach. As he reached the entrance, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder. Startled, he turned around to look at this careless person, and was taken aback for a moment.

  Meizhi stood proudly behind the back of Chui Qi, the impression of that female demon turned into a beautiful and moving angel, reminding him of the fairy in "Journey to the West". The universal truth that everyone has a love for beauty suddenly became a fallacy, his whole body was covered with goosebumps.

  "Racing through the streets and alleys, are you here to enjoy the scenery or flirt with the girls?" Michiko clutched Kawachi's arm, her body pressed tightly against his.

  "Are you following me?" Kaito said with a scowl, separating himself from Michiko with great displeasure.

  Meizhi said: "You're not familiar with this place, what if you get lost?"

  He said: "Am I a kid? I am not a kid."

  "Yumi said: "You are just my little kid. No, my little treasure."

  Kawaki was like swallowing a fly, retching repeatedly, and no longer paying attention to the other party. At this time, two women from Japan walked out of the club, one of whom entwined Kawaki. Kawaki hooked her hand, touched her buttocks rolling around in the cherry blossom skirt, and followed her as she was about to cross the door, when Michiko couldn't bear it anymore and rushed up.

  "Bang!"

  Meizhi's vinegar jar was knocked over, the woman who was hit saw her and immediately buried her head, shouting "Hai!" in a trembling voice.

  Kawaki saw Mieko's bullying and grew even more disgusted, feeling an urge to intervene. He raised his hand to strike her, but she quickly pressed a pressure point, rendering him immobile.

  The sky has darkened. In the streets and alleys of Datong, Shanxi, every household has lit their oil lamps, making the streets look patchy and deserted. There are few pedestrians on the street, giving people a feeling that this is simply a ghost town.

  Mizuko carried Kawaki and ran quickly through the streets like a thief, caught the attention of security guards patrolling the street. The security guard shouted loudly, pulled the trigger, just about to fire a warning shot when Mizuko suddenly swung her hand at him, causing him to let out a miserable cry, slowly falling onto the street like a sack of grain.

  "You're killing innocent people again. Can't you be like your father, always smiling and kind-hearted?" The cavalry commander reproached him.

  "When you first join the Raven Corps, it's hard to adapt at first. But after a month and a half, you'll come to realize that killing people, especially shooting them down, is such a delightful thing."

  "Are security guards enemies?"

  "All Vietnamese people are enemies of the Crow Team!"

  Chuan Qi thought for a moment, this issue can't be explained in just a few words, so he changed the subject and asked: "Where are you taking me?"

  "I boasted to the little crows that I would get you tonight, and I won't go back on my word." Mei Chizuko didn't dodge the issue at all.

  "What's it to me?"

  "It's none of your business, the Raven team has the final say."

  "That was within eight hours. Now you are you and I am I."

  "Damn it for eight hours, there is no distinction between inside and outside in Crow Team's time."

  Two people came to the high-end residence of Meizhi. Meizhi advocated for the Three Caves of Cunning Rabbit, this classical quadrangle was rented by her with the misappropriated funds of the Crow Team. Here, Meizhi had received Japanese dignitaries including Itagaki Seishirō and Tōjō Hideki, Kawabata, a small lieutenant, was able to "receive this honor", completely because of her unforgettable old love.

  Under the faint moonlight, the trees and flowers in the courtyard were swaying gently in the wind, like ghosts flitting about.

  Meizhi carried the key, reached out to open the door, but it was already open. When she went out, she had locked the door herself. Feeling uneasy, she went back and checked again, how could it be open?

  To be on the safe side, Meizhi had to put down Chuanji, feel the gun from behind, pull up Chuanji, and then conveniently unblock his acupoints. Then, with one kick, she kicked open the door and rushed in immediately.

  Just as Yoshiko rushed into the house, there was a crackling sound, and in the darkness, a flame burst forth, illuminating the blurry face of a man before her eyes.

  "Oni? Oni!" Kawahime snatched the road and escaped, before Mieko could react, he rushed into the night.
