Chapter 103 Medicinal Bath Massage
After getting vaccinated and treating the wounds on his face that were 'gnawed by cyberpsychosis', Li Pan put an ice pack on his face and stared at the signal tracking software sent by Shiba with his prosthetic eyes and thought.
Leticia slipped into the sewer and has not yet emerged. However, Li Pan rolled with her on the ground for a long time, breaking many of her ribs and injecting a lot of vitality into her organs. Even a fifth-level creature like a werewolf could not bear it. Not easy to recover from.
And even if Leticia is cautious and does not return directly to the wolf den in the Grand Theater, as long as she seeks help from the wolves, the golem virus can infect the entire wolf pack, and any human wolf appears on the surface of the Night City to conduct network link transactions. will be immediately detected by Shiba Tracking.
So don't be impatient, the fish have been caught, Chiki's matter has been settled for the time being, and the Tokugawa family's matter can also be slowed down a bit, now focus on getting the 'Tai Sui'.
Are you going to sneak into the hot spring village to steal the 'Tai Sui'...
Li Pan thought for a while and looked at the plastic bag in his hand.
And it’s also a disaster to keep this thing in your hands... Hmm! Got it!
Li Pan had an idea and immediately flew straight to Yunding Apartment.
Shiranui Kiriko still didn't remove his authority, so Li Pan also had a clear path and walked directly into the bathroom.
This woman was curled up in a ball, soaking in the green medicinal bath in the bathtub, burying her face between her knees, staring blankly at the water, as motionless as a fool, like a body that had lost its soul.
"Hey, hey."
Li Pan snapped his fingers twice,
"What are you doing, committing suicide by cutting your pulse?"
Shiranui Kiriko slowly raised her head, glanced at Li Pan, then withdrew her gaze and continued to stare at the water.
"Then do you want to do it? If you do, crawl out and go to work. If you don't do it, resign."
Shiranui Kiriko sank directly into the bathtub and hid her head under the water.
When Li Pan saw that the woman was ignoring him, he shrugged, opened the plastic bag, and threw Chiki Tokugawa's head into the bathtub with a 'pop'.
Shiranui Kiriko stayed for a moment, then jumped out of the bathtub with a bang like a fried fish!
"Na na na Nani!"
Li Pan put his hands in his pockets,
"Hey, you are energetic. Ashiya Shiki has joined the company now. It is not convenient for me to get involved in your grudges, but it is indeed me who sent you to perform the mission. , I take responsibility.
She was probably the culprit of your being canned for the first time. Please accept it as an apology. Didn’t the Internet say that you have a tradition of making the heads of enemies into wine glasses? Can you let me see this? Craftsmanship..."
"Who has that kind of tradition? Don't search randomly on the Internet!"
Shiranui Kiriko was really going crazy. She sat down on the toilet, grabbed her hair, and stared at her head floating in the bathtub. I didn't know what to say for a moment.
Li Pan, on the other hand, sniffed, "Huh? This medicinal smell? Speaking of which, you ninjas all have this smell. What is this?" Shiranui
Kiriko recited blankly,
"It's... the Kampo medicine used by ninjas to practice physical skills. , can relieve bruises and internal injuries, stimulate blood circulation and meridians activity, stimulate the body's inner potential, and unlock the upper limit of the human body..." Li Pan's eyes lit up, "Huh? Stimulate the potential to
unlock the upper limit? What are the prerequisites for using this? Special skills Law? Physical restrictions?"
Shiranui Kiriko was still confused, "There are no restrictions. I have been soaking since childhood. The longer the soaking time, the better the effect. The effect is more significant when you are exhausted..." Li Pan immediately took
Qianji's head out. Come out and put it on the edge of the bathtub, take off your formal clothes, and lie down in the bathtub.
Hmm...the water is a bit cold, but that's okay. I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but it seems that the meridians have relaxed a bit.
Shiranui Kiriko stared blankly at Li Pan, then looked at the heads on the side, stood up after hesitating, and stepped into the water, crossing their feet with Li Pan, and sat down face to face to soak together.
Although the two of them were quite crowded, the touch was smooth, warm, soft, and quite comfortable. Li Pan relaxed so much that he stretched and asked casually, "Hey, did you still have one breath before? You were on the verge of death.
" How did it feel? Does it hurt?"
Shiranui Kiriko and the man's body were close together, and her body couldn't help but warm up. She slowly spoke,
"There is no feeling in my body... It's just... like the suffocation of drowning. , the consciousness fell into nothingness... nothing can be seen... nothing can be touched... time, space, memory, nothing..."
Li Pan listened and nodded,
"I also had a similar experience."
Shiranui Wuzi stared at the man in front of him, "Have you ever experienced this too?"
"Well, I was using a virtual cabin for military drills at the military academy, and someone pulled out the network cable and locked me in the cabin. That's what it felt like."
Li Pan touched his face,
"Actually, I did. At that time, I was wondering if 'I' had died at that time, and something else had entered this body..."
Shiranui Kiriko slowly sat over and pressed closely against Li Pan. .
"But we are still alive now... right?"
Li Pan nodded,
"We are still alive."
So Shiranui Kiriko got into Li Pan's arms, and the two hugged each other quietly, immersed in their own memories for a while. , said nothing.
I don’t know how long it took, but the bathroom door opened. Principal Koga walked in, stared at the man and woman hugging each other in the bathtub, and looked at the head next to the bathtub.
"This is really the weirdest way I've ever seen it..."
"Asian Ji, you, why are you here..."
Shiranui Kiriko also reacted and blushed for a moment.
Li Pan turned to look at her short skirt and pantyhose, and spread his hands, "How about you come too?"
Shiranui Kiriko pinched him under the water.
Koga Qianji also glared at him, reached out to close the door, and spread her hair,
"The curse cast by that bastard is still in effect. I can't break it by myself. I will make an exception and teach you a few tricks of Yin Yang's Ten Thousand Transformations Escape Technique, so that you can output When using Yang Yuan, it lasts longer and won't fade away all at once."
"Hey! I was thinking about the people in the office! Making too much noise would be bad! It's just that I can't perform! You actually question my ability??"
Li Pan Nu, before Principal Koga could take off her pantyhose, he pulled her into the pool,
"The Yin-Yang Escape Technique is nothing! Today I want you to see how powerful the Yuling Sect's divine beast combat skills are!"
Kiriko Shiranui said, " They?"
So there was a competition, fierce collisions, friendly exchanges, and a battle between the three parties, from sunrise to sunset, from dawn to dusk.
Li Pan relied on his superior combat skills guided by the immortal cultivator's book, abundant and unremitting physical fitness, and a lot of Yang Yuan to win an overwhelming victory in this battle.
And Koga Asahime and Shiranui Kiriko also realized the mysterious spirit of the authentic double cultivation method. This is the so-called morning news. Yes, yes!
But don't tell me, Li Pan found that his combat power had improved again. Of course, he meant serious combat power. Although his true energy and Yang Yuan were consumed a lot, his physical strength seemed to break through some kind of shackles with the cooperation of the ninja's secret Chinese medicine. The more you fight, the braver you become, and your strength further improves!
In addition, the "Nine Yin Divine Art" has also made further breakthroughs, and has been cultivated to the point where it is both strong and soft, and can be freely retracted and released!
So this one is okay, there are gains and losses, it’s not a pure blood transfusion.
Of course, Koga and Shiranui received Li Pan's guidance and initiation, and the improvement they received was huge. Looking purely from the perspective of Qi, the Qi in both of them increased by two or three times. If you can digest it all, your strength will really be huge.
So the three of them huddled in the bathtub together, soaking in the Yin Yuan Yang Yuan and the medicinal liquid to take a breather and rest.
Koga Qianji lay on Li Pan's right shoulder, circling his chest with her fingers,
"Li, are you interested in teaching at our Wuche Academy? Your cultivation method is profound, profound and unfathomable. I would like to ask you to teach it to our school." The teachers and students are, of course, kunoichi from the Naiga clan."
Li Pan almost choked to death on his saliva,
"Ahem! You two have been struggling for so long, and you're going to kill me for being a woman of the clan! If you don't pass it on, Don't pass it on!"
Shiranui Kiriko also squeezed over,
"And those postures you just pointed us out. If you are not a person who has been specially trained in gymnastics, you can't stretch your hands and feet. There must be more than just postures, there are also unique practice secrets. Right? Can you teach me something, manager?"
Li Pan didn't know how to do that. He just saw in the fairy tale book that the Qingtang Sect fairy did it like this, so he just imitated it. Without commenting, he glanced at her sideways and stood. Standing up, "Let's look at your performance."
Koga and Shiranui exchanged glances behind their backs and reached a united front. This man is full of treasures and can be explored more deeply.
Li Pan wiped off the dirt on his body and put on his clothes. He glanced at the head that had been kicked to the ground by someone during the battle just now. Now he entered the sage state, and he began to think about the problem with rational thinking.
"By the way, Wuzi, there happens to be a difficult task that requires your efforts. If you can complete it, I can consider the method of cultivation as a reward. Mr. Principal, if you are also interested in the method of cultivation, this task can also be used Come join."
Shiranui Kiriko said, "Why are you still coming? Let's take a break."
Koga Asanhime shook her head, "I haven't been here for a long time, and my waist is a little tired. Go to bed."
Li Pan was speechless, "Gan, then It's not a mission, it's a reward, okay! Ahem, let's get back to the topic. Now the Tokugawa army is gathering in the Night City. I need to hire ninjas to help me sneak into the Saito House in Hakone Mountain and steal an antique." Shiranui Kiriko's eyes flashed, "Not old
. Izumi..."
Principal Koga's expression condensed, "Tokugawa..."
Li Pan did not hide anything from them, pointing to the head,
"You have also seen that our company and Tokugawa Medical are now close to a life-and-death hostility. And this head is already here, so there is no need for me to say more.
But how do the Koga Ninja Army plan to deal with it? This time the crisis of Tokugawa, you are almost on the sidelines, sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers, right? What if in the future? The Tokugawa family is in charge of the Night City, and the Iga clan who have made great contributions this time will definitely be reused. So do you think that with your generations of hatred, you can continue to hide safely in Wuche Academy?" Talking about business
. , Principal Koga also suppressed the beauty in his brows, and said seriously,
"Does your company want to recruit me, the Koga Ninja Army?"
Li Pan shook his head, "It's not the company, it's just me, or Panlong Construction signed a contract with you to cooperate. There is no need for an oath of allegiance, just an all-weather strategic partner.
I am also considering our private relationship to provide you with this employment invitation. Others are none of my business. If you want to get something, you must pay for it. This is fair. It's a deal, isn't it?
I don't deny that the task this time is difficult, and I really need professional help. If you really don't dare to offend Tokugawa, I won't force it. Let's just treat it as a breakup and say goodbye amicably. Now."
Shiranui Kiriko and Koga Asahime looked at each other. After all, they were best friends for many years and understood.
Principal Koga said, "This matter is related to the survival of the Koga Twenty-One Family. Our Koga Ninja Army has always been in the same spirit and advances and retreats together. Can we discuss it internally and I will definitely give you an answer tomorrow morning. "
Shiranui Maiko also nodded, "Leave that head to me. Since you have spoken, manager, let's make it into a wine glass."
Then this becomes a matter of mutual trust. If you keep Tokugawa Chiki's head, For the other party, once Koga turns his back and offers his head and Li Pan to Tokugawa, that will be the worst situation.
However, this head was handed over. If he really fell out, he could actually bite back and say that Tokugawa was assassinated by the Koga clan and werewolves. He was just delivering a package without knowing the truth. There is surveillance video to prove it.
At least the Tokugawa princess was assassinated by a professional ninja, which is better to understand than the explanation of being beheaded by a flying sword, right?
However, if he could really use this head to demonstrate his own strength and draw the Koga Ninja Army of the Imperial Ninjas to their allies, the benefits would be needless to say.
In short, risks and opportunities coexist.
After leaving Yunding Apartment, Li Pan checked the news. So far, no media has reported the assassination of Princess Tokugawa. Obviously, the Tokugawa family is still blocking the news. They probably haven't figured out why Duan Duan lost his head.
Now all the TV stations are focusing on the siege of the city by the army, and the Tokugawa mission is negotiating with the princes and elders of the Ye clan.
Then Li Pan flipped through the missed communication messages and saw two calls from Rama. He knew it was because he had been absent from work for two consecutive days and looked for 01044, so he dialed the number.
"Rama? What's going on now?"
"Boss, Ms. No. 44 came to you and said that the link to the rented prosthetic body is not safe. Please come to our hotel for an interview as soon as possible. The coordinates have been sent to you."
Li Pan looked at the coordinates.
"Okay, eh? Outside the city? There are not only garbage dumps outside the city. What are you doing there?"
Rama, "picking up garbage..."
Picking up garbage?
Judging from the video sent from Rama, Lao Liu, Lama Husky and the three of them have been doing hard work in the past two days. 01044 took them to the garbage dump outside the city. She took two wires, folded them at right angles, and held them in parallel. in hand, and wandering around the junkyard.
As she was walking, the wire suddenly opened up. She asked the three of them to dig down the garbage pile, pick up some bottles and cans, and take away the tattered things. Instead of returning to the company, they stayed in a shabby motel in the suburbs.
Okay... Anyway, Monsters Inc. will highlight one monster...
Li Pan took a look at the hotel in 01044. It was quite far away from the Night City. It was deep into the garbage area. The only people there were scavengers and cockroaches, so there was no need to worry about being caught. The siege troops disturbed.
It was too luxurious to fight out of the city, and the Emperor 620 was also taken by Chengzi to modify it to be bulletproof. However, K happened to be leading a group of night knights to guard the Council of Elders, so Li Pan went to her garage to borrow Serena.
Considering that from this point on, he might be betrayed at any time, and then a bunch of ninja troops from Iga and Koga would jump out of the night to capture his head, Li Pan took the two 'Flea's in the garage with him. Drag racing on an elevated highway. With Metal Storm clearing the way, it would be more than enough to blast them out directly from the Tokugawa army's martial law checkpoint.
Of course, the Tokugawa Army is still pretending, that is, pretending to be with the NCPA at the highway intersection. They don't dare to actually block the road and seal the city. They checked Li Pan's citizenship and gave way.
After all, you, Gao Tianyuan, are the losers, okay? Is it useful to have too many people in this age? If the security bureau hadn't stopped them, Ye's fleet would have arrived. What's so awesome about it.
Then Li Pan drove all the way, looking at the endless lines of tanks, combat vehicles, self-propelled artillery, mobile missile launchers, Type III SMS, Spider Corps... Mader, the headquarters is
also That's it. Why is it that the north is also at the level of a division? How could the Tokugawa family mobilize so many troops? It would be understandable if it was Takamagahara... Could it be that the Hashiba family's army also changed their logos to support the scene? It's hard to tell...
"Selena, are there any ninjas following you?"
"There are no ninjas, there are high-altitude cruise drones and stealth drones, but I can deploy ECM signal countermeasures and optical camouflage, and add a quick throw. Drop them."
"Wow, you're so awesome, let's do it, pretty girl!" "
Ah, broom head, your mouth is so sweet!" "Oh,
oh, oh, it's so exciting to speed up! Faster, faster!" "
Yeah. , I can't go any faster!"
K, "Hey! Don't flirt on the public channel!" They
drove all the way to the hotel outside the city. Li Pan had just parked the car, and 01044 had already picked up the briefcase and walked out of the room. It was obvious that he sensed Li Pan's approach in advance.
Interestingly, her prosthetic body should be just VK’s mass-produced android, but it can also display magical abilities like monsters. It seems that the managers of Monster Company are similar to Li Pan, each with their own methods, using various methods in the world. Prosthetics can also use their own superpowers.
"How did the mission go? Ma'am, what can I do for you?"
"Thank you for coming to help. Let's go for a walk together."
Li Pan followed 01044 into the garbage dump and saw her taking out a dirty bag from her briefcase. The iron block, judging from the exposed magnet coil and iron core diaphragm, should be a car horn, which was obviously recently thrown out of the garbage dump.
01044 just held the horn in his hand, gathering a strange light and emitting circles of light waves surrounding the two of them.
Then Li Pan found that he was disconnected from the Internet.
"Fuck you, you're awesome..."
"It's just a little trick," 01044 smiled, "I heard that you applied for company combat readiness? Do my actions need to be delayed?"
Li Pan said, "No, no, it's just a private matter. , I can handle it."
01044 nodded,
"Then I won't ask any more questions. I will communicate with you today about the mission. I have found the location of 0791's local collector site." "Oh?
In the garbage dump? I want to help. No?"
01044 shook his head,
"Not here, I'm just here to collect available props, but the site is indeed nearby, in what you call the Pacific District. I checked, and there is
a new commercial center there, Pacific Plaza. , is the disguise of the Collector Site. All facilities and equipment were contracted and constructed by companies directly affiliated with the Ye Group. Almost all research equipment is imported from other worlds. It is impossible to exchange benefits without sky-high prices." Li Pan couldn't help but frown
. , "From the Ye clan? From which clan?"
01044 handed over a stack of flyers, "New Industrial Zone in the City of Night!" Cheap apartment! job opportunity! Admission loan! Medical subsidies! The land of peace! Tomorrow will be better! ", pointing to the silver LOGO with vampire face and bat wings on the simulation map of the development zone,
"This new development zone project is being done by companies under the Fabius clan, and their head will be the next ruler. Prince Maxim, if you calculate the time, he will probably wake up soon.
You have to be careful. If the ruling companies in charge of this plane are all in the opponent's camp in the next century, it will be quite troublesome for us to do business." (This chapter
