Chapter 144 The Fate of the Gold King

All vests are equal. Because they all appear because of the protagonist, and do those things for the protagonist's ideas. If a person feels alone and powerless in the world, he should have a few more selves to help him. People's instinct is to make their lives better, so they will all move in one direction.

In this way, one day, what Pei Zhen dreams of will come true, right?

Pei Zhen didn't think about these things clearly, he just did what he thought was right. He has come to where he is today step by step, and it can really be said that he relied on himself. At this time, seeing that Kamo Tsukuyuki had also obtained his own power, he couldn't help but smile.

He placed the "gem" on the sofa. The cat he adopted in the past has become more and more agile recently. Perhaps because it is constantly searching for its own kind, it probably knows the surrounding area better than Pei Zhen. He took out his cell phone and made a call.

The call was answered immediately, and a man's voice came out: "Ah, sir?"

Pei Zhen asked softly: "How is your matter going?"

On the other side was Yugamo, the only "informer" allowed by him to act as a follower of the Colorless King. He glanced at the other people beside him who dared not speak, and replied: "The Red King left Yokohama with his Homura some time ago and moved back to their previous address. His condition seems to be a little bad, which has caused the Blue King to be unable to leave there and has not had much energy to manage the affairs of the supernatural world."

"The Green King was quiet for a while, but then I don't know what happened. For a period of time, they kept posting information about many criminals on their internal mobile forums, asking the members of the Jungle to deal with them, and messed up Yokohama." He laughed: "Now it has become a place that politicians avoid. They are unwilling to work there. I heard that a retired official named Natsume Soishi had to write a letter to one of his friends to get someone promoted here."

The people around him listened while suppressing their excitement and nervousness. The leader, Nishio Zhuang, had a tense face and didn't dare to make a sound. Hagamo continued, "The members of the group didn't find the 'book' in Yokohama. It's as if this thing doesn't exist. There's not a single clue. It's like it was made up by life. If it weren't for that witch, I'm afraid everyone would think they were deceived."

"The Port Mafia has declined. After the Leibo Street incident, spies from various organizations joined it. They were sent in wave after wave. The leader of the mafia sometimes lamented that now he has nothing to do except catching rats in the organization. The newly built Yokohama Academy of Fine Arts invited him to be the first president. He declined for a while but finally went." He raised the corner of his lips: "Even the leader is like this, you can imagine what his subordinates are like. This organization is completely useless." He made the assertion very calmly.

Pei Zhen didn't feel anything strange after hearing this. In his opinion, the mafia should not exist in the city. That is to say, he was not strong enough at that time and had to borrow the number of people from that organization. Now, if he guessed correctly, the most powerful force among them should be the Special Ability Agent Department. The pressure brought by the parade forced the government to look at this "forgotten" city.

"Where is the place I asked you to pay attention to?" Pei Zhen asked.

Yugamo carefully looked around, then whispered, "Someone did want to take the people from Leibo Street away for experiments. But the people in this place have been particularly united since they died once. The Armed Detective Agency had been keeping an eye on this place before, so they didn't succeed. Now that the detective agency has relaxed, several spies from different organizations have suddenly jumped out..."

Everything he said was related to the identity of "Colorless King", and Pei Zhen had been listening until he finished recounting everything that happened during this period, showing his superb ability as an informant, as if he had built another intelligence network in Yokohama City similar to that of Beihua City. Then he told the purpose of this trip: "Let's contact 'Fei Shi Yuan' and say that I want to meet that old man."

Yugamo was stuck for a moment. Although he had only been in the other side of this world for a short time, with the title of the Colorless King's follower, he was able to quickly figure out the power of this country. "Fei Shi Yuan" is the only organization whose authority covers the entire country and can influence national policies. The reason for all this comes from the person standing at the highest point in this country, the King of Gold - Guo Changlu Dajue.

He is another king who is equal to the person he is loyal to, but what makes him different from him is that he has been on the throne for more than sixty years. Even if the starting point is the same, the gap between the two sides will definitely be incredibly large after a long period of time.

But he thought about it and said, "Yes, sir."

Pei Zhen left the detective agency and took a car to Nanakamado.

While riding in the car, he searched in his storage and found a [Mask] that he had drawn before. He did not change his clothes. He adjusted the expression on the mask to a smile. Then, according to the news from Yugamo, he put on the mask before the last distance and walked into the magnificent tower step by step.

The style of the Yuzhu Tower is very similar to that of Guo Changlu Dajue, and the overall style exudes solemnity in mystery. Pei Zhen's footsteps echoed in this empty environment. When he walked into the central hall, he saw a tall old man looking at him from afar. He was tall and sturdy, with strong facial features. Time had completely turned his beard and hair white. His eyes were fixed on his mask.

"You come to see me, but you still refuse to show your true face." His voice echoed in the hall with only two people. "Is this your code of conduct as the Colorless King?"

Pei Zhen's expression on the mask was smiling, his eyes were bent downward, and the corners of his mouth were raised upward, which made him look a little silly. But Guo Changlu Dajue did not think that this was a simple person. The fact that he completely avoided the search of the "Colorless Sword" and hid himself after being favored by him showed his self-control. Coupled with what happened later in Yokohama Castle, he suddenly became different from other kings.

"Isn't my coming here this time enough for you to investigate my identity?" Pei Zhen was not frightened by it. He stood quietly, stopping at a distance from the King of Gold. He crossed his arms and smiled: "As for this mask, just think of it as the last veil I leave behind to maintain my 'mysticism'."

The Golden King stared at him, his chest trembling, and he spoke in a low voice: "I didn't expect that the so-called Colorless King would actually be a person who would deceive himself."

Pei Zhen said lightly: "This is not self-deception. I am happy to do this. I think it is good for me to do this, so I did it. It has nothing to do with other people's thoughts."

The Golden King fell silent. He was a little confused about the young people of the new era, but he was tolerant enough, so he dropped the topic: "Why are you suddenly willing to come here? I thought you would keep hiding. Didn't you always do this before?"

"Nothing can be hidden forever. Unless I plan to do nothing in the future." From the appearance, the current Colorless King is actually a very young man, at most in high school age, which can be seen from his body shape. The exposed skin is also very fair, and the whole person has a cleanness that has not yet been tainted by the dust of society. But it was such a person who spoke eloquently in front of the commander-in-chief of a country without a trace of timidity. It must be said that, regardless of whether they are good or bad, the people selected by the stone slab are probably the best in the country.

"I didn't want to show up in front of people before because I didn't have the strength at that time." Pei Zhen's eyes were a little blurry, as if he was recalling himself at that time, but soon a smile like a shallow wave appeared in his eyes: "Now I am willing to come out, and it is also because I have the confidence to protect myself and the people I care about."

Guo Changlu Dajue shook his head: "'King' itself represents power."

"But there are seven such kings, aren't there?" Pei Zhen asked back. He tilted his head slightly and stared at him from behind the mask: "I don't want to be controlled by others, so I can only decide to hide first."

Guo Changlu Dajue glanced at him and said slowly: "Then why did you come here now? You can still continue to hide."

Pei Zhen smiled: "Do you want to destroy the slate?"

Guo Changlu's eyes trembled, but his body did not move. His expression remained unchanged, but Pei Zhen had already felt the power in his eyes, like a sharp arrow. He asked, "What do you want to say?"

"You are about to die." Pei Zhen gathered all his previous emotions and said calmly, without any sympathy or pity, just stating a fact.

Guo Changlu was extremely alert. He stared at him intently and gritted out a sentence through his teeth: "...How did you know?"

"You once thought about destroying the stone slab, because you know that human desires will use it to give birth to monsters. This idea is also good, but it's a pity." Pei Zhen lowered his eyes. At this moment, he was indifferent to an incredible degree: "You were born in such a country."

"Your country was a defeated country in World War II," Pei Zhen said calmly, "After World War II, Japan was also defeated on the battlefield in the supernatural world. You who don't have transcendents need the 'Dresden Slate', and the seven kings are your cards to fight against the transcendents. If there were no terrifying monster-like transcendents in this world, it might be destroyed by you or someone else. You also know that the Green King has been eyeing it covetously, and there is also a Gray King who is somewhere and doing something..."

“But you also clearly realize that Japan cannot live without the stone slab. Otherwise, you will no longer have a say in the international arena. You are supported by the title of ‘weak country among superpowers’,” Pei Zhen sighed, “So you must keep it and stop the Green King from doing anything to it, because you know that his thoughts are just delusions…”
