♂?,,
At a height of sixty meters from the ground, a black shadow suddenly burst out of the collapsing building! It was that mutated replicant controlled by Yamada, which caught Fang Lin in mid-air and threw his body upwards with force when they were only four or five meters away from the ground!
Even if the variant's self-body is not immune to accelerated falling, the variant's strange power reduces the impact force when Fang Lin falls! Coupled with his own attribute of reducing damage from high-altitude falls by 40%, he rolls over and lands safely!
That variant, however, was killed on the spot due to the excessively large impact force, with all its bones shattered and even its dark red internal organs being blown out of its mouth by the massive force.
At this time, Fang Lin also received a prompt about Yamada's death. Although the doctor had previously hidden in the most solid part of the building structure with the variant during the collapse, he was not crushed to death by the rubble after the bomb exploded, but only delayed his death for a few minutes. However, it was this difference of a few minutes that allowed Fang Lin not only to escape from Hachioji's pursuit but also to turn the tables on him!
Hachigami wouldn't die that easily, and Fang Lin didn't expect to kill him so effortlessly either. However, if he could emerge unscathed from such a massive landslide and immediately give chase, that would be simply absurd. Fang Lin struggled to his feet, stumbled a few steps, and left the area.
…………
Fang Lin certainly didn't go back to the Kawashima house at this time.
He ran to meet Old Hu at this time, which was absolutely not a wise move. Once within thirty meters of the Eight Gods, having one more or one less Hu Hua Hao made little difference. Moreover, it should be known that the task mentioned: avoiding the pursuit of all characters who yearn for the blood of the Heavenly Kingdom! This is not just the Eight Gods alone, but also includes Billy, Gis, Yamazaki Ryuji, and even Liana!
As soon as he made up his mind, Fang Lin didn't rush anymore. He ran a few kilometers and called Asahi Corporation to take care of some things. After leaving a message for Old Hu, who had not returned yet, he hailed a taxi on the side of the road and headed straight to the outskirts of Tokyo. Since he had already shaken off Yagami's pursuit, there were still about nine hours before his location would be revealed. Before that, even if the enemy had the advantage of being able to detect him from 50 meters away, they would still have a hard time finding him in this city of 12 million people, even with the three Kisei brothers helping them - it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Fang Lin randomly got off at a place - the best way to make others unable to find him was to lose himself in an unfamiliar environment. Looking around, there were rows of simple and rustic wooden two-story houses, occasionally with four or five-story buildings, which were rare, but surprisingly, on this early morning, there were still people walking on the streets, and many shops had not closed yet.
He glanced at the tattered special police uniform on his body, crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the trash can beside him. Then he bought a bottle of liquor and secretly poured some onto himself. Stumbling, he walked towards the old-fashioned hotel across the street corner. The old man guarding the door frowned, seemingly wanting to ask something. Fang Lin stumbled forward, roughly shoving a wad of cash into his mouth at an angle. The old man was furious, but upon opening the cash, immediately smiled and helped Fang Lin into a small room on the second floor.
The rooms in a ryokan are generally large, undivided spaces with traditional tatami flooring covered in straw mats. The only furniture is a low table. Doors are sliding "fusuma" doors, and decorations typically include a few paintings or scrolls. Guests sleep on futon beds laid out by the staff.
Fang Lin lay on the "bed" for a while, feeling sticky and itchy all over his body. He had crawled in and out of the sewer, escaping twice from the terrifying pressure, exhausting both physically and mentally. Unable to bear it anymore, he got up, picked up the blue-and-white striped bathrobe provided beside him, and decided to take a shower. He walked directly to the public bathroom, wearing his wooden clogs, and rushed in, jumping into the steaming hot bathtub and starting to scrub, scratch, and rub himself vigorously, feeling extremely relieved. To relax his mood, he hummed a tune softly.
But Fang Lin suddenly realized that there were two more people in the bathtub, staring at him with a rather fierce and disgusting gaze.
Fang Lin ignored them and continued washing himself, but one of the middle-aged men suddenly cursed:
"Get out of here, you Japanese pig!"
It seems that this guy heard Fang Lin speaking Chinese, and he stood up naked, picked up the hard wooden clog next to him, and walked over, looking like he was going to use it as a brick. Fang Lin heard the three words "Chinese pig" and let out a sigh, his hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed the guy's ankle, twisting it violently, causing him to let out a miserable cry and fall into the bathtub, splashing hot water everywhere. The man was furious and wanted to counterattack, but Fang Lin suddenly reached out and twisted off his finger. This immediately made him let out a loud, miserable cry, fortunately, the soundproofing in the bathroom was very good, and no one outside could hear it.
As this man's severe pain subsided slightly, Fang Lin's right index finger pressed against his eyeball, smiling and saying:
"What did you just say?"
That man felt Fang Lin's fingernails digging into his eyeballs, as if they would be dug out at any moment without hesitation, and trembled:
"I... I... didn't say anything."
Fang Lin gently picked up the soap for washing.
"If you want this eye, then eat this piece of soap for me."
The middle-aged man's previous arrogance vanished instantly, and he trembled as he picked up the soap, his facial muscles twisted as he took a bite, forcing himself to swallow. Fang Lin smiled and said:
"Trouble comes from the mouth, don't you know? Now get out of here!"
The two of them, like escaped convicts, hastily fled the bathroom and ran wildly, Fang Lin closed his eyes, quietly pondering the layout and movements for the next few hours, then wiped his body clean and returned to the room. By this time, the sky had already emitted a hazy light.
In a traditional Japanese inn, the accommodation fee usually includes two meals. Moreover, Fanglin's room rate was extremely expensive? As soon as he entered, a woman came in with her body bowed and placed a tray made of old, worn-out red wood on the table. On it were a bowl of thin porridge-like substance and five white steamed buns. She softly said "Please enjoy your meal, sir" before walking out.
Fang Lin was also very hungry, and he picked up the bowl of "porridge" to take a sip. He found it exceptionally delicious, but there were no rice grains inside, only a clean white broth. After chewing carefully, he tasted that it contained cooked egg, radish, burdock, and bamboo shoots (also known as bamboo fish board or lion dog fish egg), etc. The broth was made by simmering kombu or bonito, with an extremely rich flavor.
Those five siu mai were not the usual taste, with caviar, octopus, seaweed and scallops on the outside, and they were called "wooden fish roe meat buns". The buns were pan-fried, so the juice inside was preserved. The freshness of the pork was naturally good, and paired with the wooden fish flower on the outside, the texture was also very good.
After Fang Lin finished the bowl of "porridge", he felt that it was not enough, so he called the woman and only then did he know that this dish was called "Oden". The Japanese name is Oden (おでん), a type of cuisine originating from the Kanto region of Japan. It's quite a famous snack. After eating his fill, he studied the task prop "Blood of the Heavenly Clan" for a while and found it sealed in a very strange glass tube. Although the tube looked fragile, Fang Lin had many ideas at this time, but still couldn't destroy it. Finally, fatigue struck, and he fell into a deep sleep.
Before that, he also considered the possibility of Kis and other characters taking a helicopter to utilize the heavenly tribe's blood alarm within 50 meters for a carpet search. However, this is Tokyo, the capital of Japan after all, and it would be quite difficult for civilian aircraft to fly freely in broad daylight. Moreover, helicopters flying at an altitude of 50 meters above the ground between high-rise buildings in Tokyo would also be extremely dangerous. So he put his mind at ease and fell into a deep sleep.
………………
When Fang Lin woke up, he had already slept until one o'clock in the afternoon. Although six hours of sleep had not fully recovered his physical strength, his body's condition had basically returned to normal. At this time, there were less than two hours left before the deadline for exposing the location of the character who was pursuing him. Fang Lin went downstairs from the hotel, changed into a new set of clothes and walked onto the street, then called the Kawashima family and got the answer to the matter he had asked them to investigate earlier. He hailed a taxi and headed to Tokyo Waseda University Hospital.
This is also where Andy and Dong Zhang are recovering from their injuries last night.
This is also Fang Lin's carefully considered and only possible destination!
According to the world background and task plot, the five characters who have gathered together at this time are on the side of justice. The possibility that they will be plotting against the Tiankuo God Tribe's bloodline is very small. Moreover, he had previously shown warning kindness to these five people, making it easy for them to gain their trust. Neither the Eight Gods nor Gis and his party have any connection with each other, and they are in an adversarial relationship. Therefore, the safest place at present is by Mary's side!
