Good evening, Mr. Takeda, is there something that I can help you?
Takeda Cangshi appeared a bit restless,
Good evening, Miss Hase. May I come in and have a talk?
Hearing his words, Naoko can’t help but hesitate. Although now it was only 9 o’clock in the evening, she was the only person in the room, and being in a room with an unrelated man was not good. Her experience with Hinatsu Junichiro two years ago was still fresh in her mind.
Seeing her embarrassed look, Takeda Cangshi smiled for a moment and then said:
Since Miss Hase is inconvenient, then just forget it. I am very sorry to disturb your rest, excuse me.
Seeing he was about to leave, Naoko was shaken. This place was someone else’s house, after all, if she can’t even promise such a request, it would appear a bit too unreasonable. After bowing her head to think for a moment, Naoko said:
That was rude of me. Mr. Takeda, if you have something to talk then please come in and let’s talk about it.
Takeda Cangshi suddenly bowed to her and said,
Thank you, Miss Hase.
Naoko was shocked by such a big ritual, immediately said:
Mr. Takeda, you are too serious.
After he came in, Naoko did not close the door but pushed the door open a bit more. But Takeda Cangshi did not seem to notice this casual movement from her and continued to sit on the other side of the table.
Naoko brought a cup of tea in front of him,
Please enjoy the tea, Mr. Takeda.
Thank you.
Takeda Cangshi picked the tea cup in a very standard position and took a sip.
Miss Hase, your tea flavor is very good.
After putting down the cup, Takeda Cangshi said something.
You flatter me, Mr. Takeda. Your family has been in the tea business for generations. Your erroneous praise makes me ashamed.
Takeda Cangshi said with a straight face:
No, I am saying the truth.
Seeing his serious face, for a while Naoko did not know what to say, but finally said:
You are too kind. Mr. Takeda, you said there is something you want to talk to me?
Takeda Cangshi was at a loss for a while. Actually, for a long time, he did not say any words.
Seeing him like this, Naoko did not dare to make a sound and can only wait for his answer.
For a time, the entire room was quiet.
After an indeterminate time has passed, Takeda Cangshi finally looked up at Naoko, and then said the words that, for her, was truly unexpected.
Miss Hase, I like you.
Naoko was shocked and almost knocked over the teacup in front of her.
After she composed herself, Naoko immediately said:
Mr. Takeda, I….
Takeda Cangshi interrupted her,
Please do not misunderstand, Miss Hase, I have no other intention. I am well aware that you truly love Mr. Gennai, and I will not do anything to affect your feelings. I just want to settle my wish before I leave, that’s all.
You said before you leave?
Naoko realized he was wearing a suit rather than a Kimono, which he usually wore everyday at home.
Yes, because there is something urgent that I need to take care of in the company, I have to go back on a plane tonight. Maybe after this, I will have no chance to see Miss Hase again. Therefore, I really hope I can settle my wish before my departure. That is, to confess my feelings for Miss Hase. Of course, I don’t expect to get any response, I just don’t want to leave with regrets. If this causes you any discomfort, please forgive me.
With that, he bowed to her.
Seeing this man, who always wore a very serious expression, Naoko did not really know what to say. After a while, she slightly pulled herself together and then said:
Mr. Takeda, I don’t deserve your kindness, I feel very uneasy.
Takeda Cangshi said:
Miss Hase, you are the most beautiful and gentle woman I have ever seen, my heart is filled with admiration for you. I wish for you and Mr. Gennai to grow old together.
Thank you, Mr. Takeda. With Mr. Takeda’s condition, I believe you will soon find a woman who suits you.
Takeda Cangshi smiled,
Thank you for your good wish. But to be honest, I really envy Mr. Gennai.
I don’t deserve such a praise.
After he drank the tea, Takeda Cangshi stood up,
Very well, I have to go, Miss Hase. Please take care of yourself.
You too, have a nice trip.
Naoko stood up and sent him out.
After walking out of the door, Takeda Cangshi suddenly looked back to Naoko and said:
Perhaps this sentence is rude, but I want to ask: What exactly do you like in Mr. Gennai?
He still did not understand why a woman so perfect like her love such an ordinary man.
Naoko was stunned for a moment, and after a while gently said:
In this world, no one treat me better than him.
Seeing the gentleness on her face, Takeda Cangshi seemed to understand, turned around and slowly walked away.
Fight Part 2
In his previous rebirths, in his spare time, Lei Yin carefully studied the difference races, as well as the differences in the characteristics of the indigenous people in different places.
From his first glimpse of Brin, he concluded that the new handyman was not a Japanese. Perhaps it was just like the Takeda Family’s old Butler put it, this man could really be an illegal immigrant.
Previously he found the dog’s corpse that might come from the laboratory, plus he now suspected the stowaway Brin’s bizarre behavior in recent days who showed up wounded, so he quite naturally associated the two together, making Lei Yin’s curiosity pique.
The man walked outside the outskirts of the shrine for nearly half an hour before finally stopped in what might seem like a bomb shelter.
After carefully looking around and determining that there was no one nearby, Brin pushed aside a pile of cover up weeds, revealing a gap that can only be passed by a person.
After he lined up the cage in a straight line, Brin’s figure continued to drag the cage and went inside. He did not know that a ghostly shadow-like figure quietly went in not long after he walked in.
The inside environment was very dark, but that did not slow Lei Yin at all. He carefully looked around and found that this was indeed an abandoned bomb shelter. During World War II, there were quite a few of these bomb shelters being built in Japan, but most of it were filled during city development.
In order for Brin not to notice him, Lei Yin carefully paid attention to his footsteps so he did not accidentally kick something, which can produce a sound.
Suddenly, he heard a very shrill barking sound, but soon, everything was quiet.
In this dark environment, he suddenly heard the kind of voice that can put a great strain on people’s nerve. But to a millennium old ghost like Lei Yin who used to see extraordinary scenes, the sound was just a bit harsh.
Knowing a good show was about to begin, Lei Yin could not help but speed up his pace.
After walking less than ten meters, he suddenly heard a burst of shrill barking once again. But this time, Lei Yin also heard another sound.
Several minutes later, Lei Yin felt he was getting closer and closer to Brin, suddenly, the pitiful scream of the third dog came out.
Three in a row? His appetite is too great. Lei Yin thought while he continued to move forward rapidly.
When he reached the end of the tunnel, Lei Yin saw, leaning against the room, a faint dim light that shone the room in front of him.
At this time, Lei Yin suddenly stopped, because he heard a familiar voice.
It was a heavy breathing of a hungry animal, which was irregular and harsh.
All of these were similar to the sound he previously heard from the experimental bodies who have turned into animals.
Is Brin really one of those escaped experimental bodies? The doubt in Lei Yin’s heart was getting heavier.
But soon, a man’s voice negated his assumption.
Brother, you have to control your emotion….
Although the words were said in Nepali, Lei Yin soon recognized that it was Brin’s voice.
At this time, a roaring sound of a beast resounded in the room, followed by a heavy falling sound. Lei Yin immediately rushed to open the door but found that the door was locked, so he kicked open the door with his foot.
When he went inside, he saw, under the illumination of the battery powered energy saving lamp, a figure, whose whole body covered with brown long hair with sharp long fingernails that were dripping with blood and face that was seriously contorted like a
werewolf
, was pinning Brin to the ground.
From the corners of its mouth that revealed the sharp teeth, bloodshot eyes and constant dripping of saliva, the
werewolf
obviously considered Brin as a prey.
Hearing the door being strongly kicked, the experimental body and Brin unconsciously looked up.
Seeing a person’s shadow kicked the door to break in, Brin immediately called out:
Get out of here!
But it was too late, the experimental body jumped away from Brin and rushed toward that figure on the door.
Brin turned around and immediately stood up before loudly said:
Brother, don’t kill him!
But the experimental body did not heed his voice, still rushing to the incoming man. His two pairs of claws stretched out toward him.
When Brin thought that person would surely die, suddenly, there was a scene that completely unexpected to him. He saw the man’s body seemed to move a bit and the experimental body, seemingly being subjected by a huge force, flew out to the back of the room and finally hit the wall with a
pop
and then fell to the ground.
The whole process just happened in a flash. Brin had no idea what happened.
At this time, the man stopped to say a sentence:
You said he is your brother, what exactly is going on?
Hearing him saying in Nepali, Brin was pleasantly surprised and said,
Who are you?
Now is not the time to say this thing, quickly get out of here.
Brin began to wonder why he’d say that, but he soon knew why.
Seeing the experimental body was looking at him with bloodshot eyes and over two meters of height, Lei Yin felt a burst of excitement.
This transformed being was worthy to be called unnatural creatures. Just now, he used 80 percent of his power in that single punch, but the creature unexpectedly stood again so soon, and it did not appear to have suffered any injury. Although his present internal force was only 30 percent of his heyday, simply from the pure physical body strength, this experimental body occupied a dominant position.
Since the previous time he fought mano a mano with the experimental body in the parking lot, he really wanted to have another round of fight with this kind of creature who has a tyrannical physical body. Now, finally having the opportunity, he thought that his long wait tonight was worth it.
You go, otherwise you will die,
Brin said to Lei Yin after he stopped in front of the experimental body.
Lei Yin said in a deep voice:
If you don’t want to die, you better hurry to leave this place, he has lost his humanity.
My brother still has a bit of sanity. As long as you leave….
Before he finished his words, the experimental body suddenly jumped over Brin’s body and then came at Lei Yin.
Seeing the claws that were trying to grab him, Lei Yin made a backhand move and shove them to the side and then, taking this opportunity, Lei Yin mercilessly hit the chest of that experimental body with his elbow.
If these claws attack hit him, his whole head would fly out, separated from his body. Lei Yin immediately bent over to avoid the fatal blow and sent out his right hand to hit the creature’s abdomen with a fist technique.
Poof!
With a thud, the experimental body was hit once again and he loudly howled in pain.
But Lei Yin did not let him off just yet. While he was shouting wildly, Lei Yin kicked his belly, sending the creature’s entire body backward with his foot.
In this dazzling fierce exchange, Brin saw his big brother knocked to the ground again and again. Brin could not believe everything that he just saw. He can’t imagine an ordinary human being able to fight to such a degree against his brother who has been transformed into a monster.
Who, who are you?
Why are you talking so much nonsense, just wait until I finish taking care of him.
If not for the light that was too dim, Brin will definitely see the strange smile from that person’s mouth.
Seeing the experimental body got up again, Lei Yin’s fine hair stood straight with excitement. His grandma! This is too exciting, this fellow is a lot fiercer than the one in the parking lot. Not only his body is bigger, his strength is stronger, and his skin is thicker, his resistance to being hit is also first class. He loved this kind of flesh to flesh heavy beating. Therefore, he did not want to use any weapon and just want to continue attacking with his fist and kick.
Feeling the excruciating pain on the body, the experimental body was completely enraged.
It stared at the man with eyes that almost oozed with blood. It ignored its hunger and just wanted to tear the man apart.
After it loudly roared, the experimental body rushed toward that person again. Finally, the third round of attacks began.
Fight Part 3
Unlike before, the enraged experimental body crazily tried to bite Lei Yin with its teeth or grabbed him with its claws. But the man refused to be outdone and made his move that almost impossible to see, counter-attacking it one by one.
In contrast, the experimental body’s physique was much more tyrannical than Lei Yin. Just like before when he faced with the experimental body in the parking lot, Lei Yin sometimes thought that he was punching a tire. But if the experimental body can land a hit on him, the situation will be completely different, so long as it can hit 2 or 3 times, the likely results would be broken bones or internal injuries.
But Lei Yin’s advantage was also evident, he has unmatched amazing martial arts skill. When the experimental body came at him, he would often dodge in a very ingenious way while at the same time unloaded his fist at it. So from the outside, it seemed like the one who was being beaten was the experimental body instead. Moreover, with the support of his internal force, his punching power is not worse than it.
Watching the continued flurry of exchanges between these two people, Brin who lied on the ground felt as if he was watching a fight between monsters.
As the younger brother of that experimental body, he was well aware of its horror; absolutely no human can fight with it. But the man in front of him can actually stand toe to toe with it, and even had the upper hand, making him unable to believe his own eyes. If he knew the man had used a blade to sever the bodies of other five similar experimental bodies, maybe he wouldn’t be so surprised.
From the fierce exchanged of these two creatures, from time to time, he can hear some heavy attack sound. Brin can see that this sound emerged whenever the man struck his brother’s body. This kind of impressive sound can only be created by a powerful attacking strength; thus Brin began to fear for his brother for the first time.
After what seemed like a long time, the fierce fight still continued. But this time, both sides moving speed was obviously slower than before.
Judging from the appearance, that person seemed to be in a great advantage.
Brin could clearly see the visible large and small wounds that covered the whole body of the experimental body. Especially in the areas that were lethal to ordinary humans body, such as, chest, head, abdomen, and other locations. They were all covered with very obvious fists and shoe prints. But on his brother’s face, a wisp of blood continued to appear intermittently on the corner of its mouth.
In contrast, on that person, in addition to the few claws scratches on his clothes, he did not appear to suffer any injury.
This huge difference made Brin feel incredible.
However, the one who participated in this fierce struggle, Lei Yin, bitterly knew the real situation. Although his biggest advantage in practicing internal strength was that his stamina was huge. Moreover, with his rapid breathing technique, he did not need to worry that his energy would dry up. But after fighting for so long, the reaction time of his muscles, who were strained by the high intensity stretching and contracting for a long time, became slow, making him almost got caught by its claws several times. Although it also had the same tired appearance, no one knew how long it can support itself.
Encountering such a rare rival, if Lei Yin was still a single man, he might fight it to the end. But Naoko was still waiting for him to go back, so he did not want to hang around here any longer. But under less than compelling circumstances, he also did not want to kill it. So he loudly said while he continued to attack:
Brin, go and find me an iron rod.
Brin was stupefied, but he quickly struggled to stand up and find him an iron bar.
After looking around the room for a while, he exclaimed:
I can’t find the iron bar.
Lei Yin got angry,
If you don’t want your brother to die in my hands, you better find one in a hurry.
After seeing the man’s strength, Brin thought it was unlikely for the man to deceive him. But because the two of them were fighting near the door, he had to carefully avoid them and then ran outside.
After a while, Brin rushed back holding a meter long iron bar,
I found it.
Good.
Immediately after he said that, Lei Yin punched the experimental body right in the face. This was his full powered blow. The experimental body flew backward like a shell and turned half-circle in the air before it fell to the ground with a thud. This was the third time it was knocked down to the ground.
After he took the iron bar in Brin’s hand, Lei Yin slightly adjusted his shortness of breath, and then looked at the experimental body who slowly climbed up.
Lei Yin felt a bit sorry, This guy is really tenacious, being knocked down so many times, he still able to climb up. I really wish I could continue this fight to see who is the winner.
At this time, the experimental body has lost its previous terrifying momentum, and just felt like a sick animal. But it was still looking at Lei Yin with eyes filled with hatred.
But Lei Yin suddenly had an awareness. Although it seemed like it has completely overcome by the animal instinct, but its character should not be too different than its original human character. Just like the experimental body that he previously encountered in the parking lot; when it was shot by Eiko Kotoshi, it chose to run away, but this one actually chose to fight to the death.
Finally, after breathing a few mouthful of heavy breaths, the experimental body came at Lei Yin again.
In a cacophony of roaring sound, the experimental body flew backward almost in a straight line and then crashed hard into the wall.
Brin could not clearly see what the man just did, only to see him suddenly bent his waist, and then, in a marvelous way, dodged his big brother’s attack to the side; then he saw his brother flew out horizontally.
This should do it, right? Looking at the iron bar, who bent at a 50-degree angle, in his hand, Lei Yin said in his mind.
After a while, seeing the experimental body was not able to stand up again, Lei Yin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He walked over and very carefully checked its breathing. After that, Lei Yin picked up a rope and tied its whole body like a rice dumpling. After he tied it, Lei Yin looked at Brin and asked:
Now tell me what exactly is going on here.
Being frightened by his gaze, Brin said:
Me and my brother escaped from the laboratory….
After hearing his story, Lei Yin thought for a moment, then said:
Besides your brother, have they ever done any experiment on you?
No, because at the time, I fell sick, so they just took big brother away. Initially, I did not know what they do to him. But one night, the lab suddenly caught fire, a lot of people ran out. Big brother also ran away. But he took advantage of the confusion and fled with me.
Lei Yin continued to ask:
After you two fled here, what happened?
Brin revealed a painful expression,
Brother became more and more strange, his temper became very irritable, and sometimes went mad. Until one night when I saw him secretly eat raw meat, I knew he must be hiding something from me. Later, he told me everything, and he also said he might become a monster. I did not believe him at first, but then I saw his body transformation, as well as his crazy moment interval that became shorter and shorter. Now I know what he said was true.
Why do you want to catch stray dogs to give them to him?
Once he ran out. I managed to find him, but when I found him, he was biting a dog’s throat, desperately sucking its blood. From then on, he became more and more like a wild beast. If not for the blood, he will become very vicious. I have no other choice but to go and catch some stray dogs for him to suck their blood every day. In the beginning, one dog is enough, but lately, even three dogs, almost every time, were not enough for him. He became more and more aggressive; my wounds were all scratched by him.
After listening to him, Lei Yin cursed,
You idiot, since you knew the dogs that you gave him made him like this, you will only let him deeper into this sht if you continue to do the same thing. You see, now he barely has his humanity.
Brin cried,
I really don’t know what to do. I am really scared. Actually, I’ve thought about just leaving him like this.
Lei Yin sighed and said:
What is your name, your name is not really Brin, right?
My name is Balin, but because I am from Nepal, I changed my name to Brin.
Is your brother’s name Jabin?
Brin looked at him in surprise,
How do you know that?
Because I once saved a Nepali youth, his name is Ji Teba. He mentioned your brother’s name to me.
