Chapter 64 Fountain of Youth
The main purpose of this mission is to express to the Security Bureau that Li Pan has been doing so many things recently, including the Tokugawa and Oda attacks. Those are all tasks sent by the company, and he is half It doesn’t matter even a dime, so everyone has to believe it.
So Li Pan specially brought Yamazaki Ayato and arranged for him to pretend to be a tourist mountaineer, sneak into private property, put on a pocket watch, search around the waterway of the "Fountain of Youth", and collect animal and plant samples for analysis.
And he himself traveled at his own expense and came to the sanatorium to soak in the hot springs.
Alas, there is no other way. Our company is quite stingy. Although there is a procurement budget, the task funds only allow one place to be reimbursed at public expense. So as the general manager, we naturally have to contact the boss head-on to discuss the quotation. Just try your best, Ayato, to climb the back mountain and sneak in by yourself. Newcomers need to exercise.
So Li Pan happily took the shuttle and came to the 'Saitoya' hot spring resort in Hakone Mountain where the 'Fountain of Youth' is located.
The first female general of the Saito House was said to be the wet nurse of a certain Tokugawa family head. The Fountain of Youth and the nearby mountains were given to her family to run for generations.
For the sake of confidentiality and safety, 'Saitoya' is a membership-only high-end private club. There is a no-fly zone nearby, and only company executives from Takamagahara's family are welcome. You can't get into this place even if you have money. If an ordinary nouveau riche wants to come and take a bath, he needs to be introduced by a regular customer and contact him via email to make an appointment.
This time, just because you are looking at Monsters Inc.'s cards and are here to discuss mergers and acquisitions, they have specially given you a place to experience the experience of entering the mountain, just as a special treat.
"It's a great honor to thank you for your patronage. It's a great honor to be here."
Saito Keiko, the female general of this generation of Saito House, and two young Nakai servants went out to welcome her in person.
This is a beautiful woman with a high temperament and dazzling beauty. She is wearing Tango's black sleeves with shrunken black sleeves. Five silver-woven vertical ripples are embroidered on the front, sleeves and back. The hem is a gorgeous pattern. There are pictures of flowers and birds, and the straps are made of gold-threaded Nishijin weaving.
This outfit can be said to be very formal. After all, at this juncture, Monsters Inc.’s merger proposal is a piece of pie-in-the-sky good news for Saito House.
To put it bluntly, the Tokugawa family could not protect itself. It was reasonable for people to rob a hot spring sanatorium, a low-tech and profitable asset, with a heavy machine gun.
And the company still sent out an email asking about the intention of merger and acquisition, which was a good deal, so people should seize the opportunity to kneel down and lick it. The big tree fell and the hozens scattered. It was the right time to change the door and courtyard. If you missed this village, you would not have this shop.
"Mrs. Saito, please help me personally to greet you. I've heard about Hakone's famous scenery for a long time. Today I saw it and it's truly a feast for the eyes." "
Manager Li, you are so kind. The countryside has been favored by you. Please let me guide you."
The two were polite for a while, and then Keiko Saito accompanied Li Pan around the nursing home.
Maybe Takamagahara and other Japanese executives like to take baths. Nine out of ten tourist groups come to the hot springs for recuperation.
This place was originally an active volcano, with many hot springs and underground waterways. After the discovery of the 'Fountain of Youth', Takamagahara specially enclosed the land, built three atmospheric molecular mesh screens on the periphery, and established an environmental protection zone, similar to the Night City. Compared with the big cities where there is acid rain all day long and the stench of garbage dumps is everywhere, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a paradise on earth.
The layout of this place is said to be a sanatorium, but in fact it is closer to a sanatorium. The 'Saitoya' located in the center of the village is a five-star hot spring hotel. The external service center, chefs, security guards, kabuki and other service staff have all signed up. Long-term confidentiality contract, living in the basement.
The upper floor of the hotel is naturally a landscape suite for tourists and ordinary members. You can enjoy various packages in the hotel and choose from private, public, and open-air hot spring treatments.
In addition, the village also has various entertainment and service industry facilities, shops, clubs, and single-family private residences. Because most of the people who come here to recuperate and soak in hot springs are senior executives who value privacy. They can be rented for long-term vacations or talks. In the specialized villas in the village, there is door-to-door service from Saitoya. If you are in a leisurely mood, you can also take a walk in the forest and dine at the 'Saitoya' hotel.
There are also a large number of private residences outside the village, and this part is the highest-end residence prepared for distinguished VIP customers. Each of these large villas has its own natural springs, therapeutic hot springs, as well as supporting independent security systems and private guards.
These are basically private assets rented by VIP members for a long time. The residences are taken care of by robot servants. When no one is around, Saito House's security team is responsible for maintaining them. If an exclusive member gets a whim at any time, he can fly directly to his private residence for a bath and recuperate. The private security team who will follow up at that time will live in the basement of the Saitoya Hotel.
Li Pan went around in a circle and understood why the company didn't want to compete to take over this place before.
It's simply a sinkhole.
Sanatoriums like 'Saitoya' are engaged in internal business in Takamagahara. They are benefits prepared by the big bosses themselves. They spend money here specifically to avoid taxes. Of course, all services must be perfect. Naturally, there is no such thing as 'rip-off'. Case.
Not only are all the ingredients shipped by air, there are even several special genetic farms. The salary working here is also several times higher than outside. It is estimated that a waiter can earn 30,000 to 50,000 yuan a month. Definitely great value for money.
But now they went around in a circle and met few living people. There were no customers at all, just robot waiters.
After all, it is not a tourist resort that is open to the outside world. It is purely dedicated to serving bosses and directors. Even if they come to stay in the hotel, they do not have a serious title such as a general manager to be reimbursed. Most corporate dogs cannot afford it.
Such a high-end private place obviously needs the support of the Takamagahara Group or a large Tokugawa medical-level enterprise in order to be able to operate. Otherwise, it will be a tree without roots and a root without water, and it cannot last long.
Although Monsters, Inc. is rich, it is really just a mess. The general manager has to work to support his family. How can he spend money to support so many idle people and maintain such a big empty shell?
This time Li Pan was only here for a preliminary inspection, but he also knew that even if he could show off, he would definitely not be able to pass the financial aspects of the merger and acquisition. In the end, he would still have to rob someone by force, so he didn't care much about it. The worst case scenario is to destroy the whole place and just build a separate warehouse to suppress the 'Fountain of Youth'.
"This is the 'Eternal Spring Bath'."
Saito Keiko took Li Pan to a special large bathhouse in the village.
"It is said that the water quality of the spring here has the effect of rejuvenating people. As long as you drink it regularly or bathe in the spring water here, you can effectively relieve cell aging and rejuvenate your youth. Although the company has done a lot of research, it has not found
any It's special, but even Lord Oda has heard similar rumors. He occasionally comes to Hakone to stay for a few days, and the directors also come to bathe in hot springs every few years." "Oh? So
Mrs. Saito is radiant, Your skin is so hydrated, did you come from a hot spring? It's really exciting!" "
Hehehe, you really know how to talk. Indeed, when I have nothing to do, I will take a dip in the bath.
But in fact, I think this hot spring may have Effect, but it is more of a psychological effect. If you really pursue something like 'immortality' or 'eternal spring', then directly using skin care products will be more effective." This is true, don't underestimate the power of chemicals
!
However, the 0791 plane does suppress some of the alien energy to a very low level. Isn't it the same with his Nine Yin True Dragon Po? How effective and weird it is, you have to actually soak it in to know.
Saito Keiko looked at Li Pan and said,
"Perhaps our place was famous for the 'Fountain of Youth' in the first place, but over the years, the signboard of Hakone Hot Spring Village and every plant and tree in the mountains have been created by my family for generations. It is built by people's hard work. I firmly believe that the value of the accumulated efforts of this generation is no less than some empty legend."
Li Pan applauded,
"Mrs. Saito is right. Generations of people have worked hard. This is the spirit of craftsmanship. Yeah, that's admirable."
I wonder if she took into account the efforts of the people living in the basement.
Saito Keiko smiled happily and said,
"It's best if you understand. I won't disturb your rest. I will invite you to stay in my Saito house for one night and relax. I am confident that I will provide you with a home away from home." Our services will allow you to appreciate the value of Saito House."
This female general spoke elegantly and made people feel at ease, but she never mentioned the purchase, so she was able to hold her breath. It seems that she wants to build a relationship again and sell her nursing home at a good price.
It doesn't matter to Li Pan, just stay for one night. Anyway, they will reimburse you, so don't take advantage of the bastard.
So he went to the private room arranged by Saitoya to change into a yukata, and Li Pan went straight to the "Eternal Spring Bath".
"Yamazaki, did you find anything?"
"Hello? Hello? Hug, sorry manager, I'm still climbing the mountain, the signal is not very good..." "
Oh, don't worry, you climb slowly, wait for me."
Try your best, big brother Master, working as a worker is so hard! If you can't hold it any longer, resign as soon as possible and go home to inherit the hotel!
Li Pan happily walked into the hot spring and walked around first.
According to legend, there is only one spring in the "Fountain of Youth", but this bathhouse is quite large, like a small pond in a garden. Where did there come from so many fairy springs? It is probably that a few hot water pipes were connected elsewhere and poured in directly.
Li Pan actually doesn't like taking baths very much. He doesn't have this habit and doesn't have the conditions. He usually just takes a shower, and now his whole body is covered with prosthetic implants and electronic device interfaces. Although there is a waterproof cover, there are still places where the water vapor is too heavy. It’s inconvenient, and if it gets waterlogged, it will require maintenance at a prosthetic center, which costs a lot of money.
Li Pan turned around twice by himself, but even he couldn't see any clue. Maybe it was just like the boss's wife said, it was all psychological effects, or the effectiveness was negligible, so it was better to just take drugs.
At this time, Li Pan heard some movement, and it was clear that someone else had entered the bathtub.
He raised his head and looked up, and sure enough, although the mist was steaming, he could tell from the concave and convex proud curves of the other person that she was definitely a woman.
Well, there is only one Fountain of Youth, and of course it is a mixed bath. And the plot unfolds so far, there is a hot spring and a female general, and he still has to stay for one night, serve, and blend. Then what plot will follow, you know everything.
cut! conventional!
But it doesn’t matter! Li Pan is such a vulgar person! Of course you have to accept it when you bring it to your door. Do you want Asasi to push it out? I just want to thank you directly for helping me practice!
So he happily sat in the pool and watched the woman take off her bath towel outside the pool, face her fair and smooth neck and uncovered side hemispheres to him, first fetch water outside the pool, and use the tub Wipe, rinse and wipe your whole body carefully, inside and out.
Wow~~ So loud, so professional! This skin! Milky white, milky white, yes, duangduangduang, yes! Applying it, rubbing it in and applying essential oil, it’s amazing, very skillful, I’m looking forward to it! This craftsmanship! Li Pan was greatly shocked!
But come to think of it, do you have to wash yourself first before taking a bath? I have learned and learned. It is my first time to come to such a high-end place and I have no experience. Please bear with me. Once you are familiar with it, you will be familiar with it the second time. You will know it next time you come.
Then Li Pan soaked in excitement. After the woman had washed up from the foreplay, he looked at her with long hair, bangs covering the upper half of her face, only revealing her pointed chin and light pink lips. She used a bath towel to Barely covering the upper part of his torso, he only put his elbows on his chest, trying his best to cover the peaks that could not be covered at all. He took lotus steps and entered the hot spring. His lower body was submerged in the water and he walked slowly towards him in a straight line.
I have to say that Mrs. Keiko has really sharp eyes and deep thoughts. The two maids she brought were actually rare beauties, fat and thin, with their own characteristics, but they probably noticed that Li Pan's eyes kept looking at her, and they understood immediately.
So this Hibiscus who entered the water and came to bathe with Li Pan was a playmate who was the same type as Mrs. Keiko, and even had an even more stunning figure and still charming charm. From a distance, her proud curves were turbulent. It’s even more breathtaking when you get closer! Exciting! Shocking!
Be good, I'll be good! Excellent, it is indeed a high-end entertainment venue designated by Gao Tianyuan's board of directors! Just walking over to the entrance made Li Pan's eyes wide open. Look, look, look! This is called professionalism! This is called a craftsman!
"Hey, Ye Lu is crying~ Beauty, come and take a bath too~"
Li Pan couldn't wait to say hello. In order to maintain his grace, he suppressed himself and planned to chat first before coughing.
Unexpectedly, the other party was more direct and proactive. Wan'er smiled, let go, pulled off the towel covering her body, and threw it over Li Pan's head.
"Wow! You're so proactive..."
Li Pan took the bath towel and his nose was filled with the hotel's shampoo and the hormones emitted by the female body. It was also mixed with a strange medicinal fragrance. It smelled really good when mixed together. , makes people want to... huh? Medicinal fragrance?
The next moment! A cold light shot straight towards Li Pan's door! The sword flashes! The blade is frosty! That woman suddenly showed up out of nowhere! Stab directly at Li Pan's chest!
Dry! This plot! It turns out to be a hot spring kunoichi crisis!
"Come again!"
Li Pan jumped up and wanted to jump out to escape, but he never expected that he suddenly tripped under his feet! The water flow under me suddenly became extremely viscous, and became more and more sticky as it went down, like glue! It was as if a pair of invisible hands grabbed his ankles and pulled them down!
And when my feet exerted force, I felt that my feet suddenly became weak and weak, as if the floor tiles had disappeared! Completely lost support! The whole person felt as if he had stepped into a swamp and was suddenly pulled down and lost his balance!
So there was no time to parry and dodge! The knife from the opposite side pierced into the body like a thunderbolt! A knife was inserted through the gap between the armor on Li Pan's chest!
Okay, got in! After all, it is a ceramic armor plate used for bulletproof purposes. If it is broken, it needs to be disassembled and replaced. There are disassembly interfaces. It is like removing a crab cover and prying it in with a knife!
"Holy shit!"
Although Li Pan also accelerated quickly and grabbed her and twisted her arm, she didn't expect that this female ninja's milky white skin was so soft and lubricated! And before taking a bath, she even applied essential oil all over her body in front of Li Pan! His whole body was shiny and slippery as a loach! I can’t grasp it at all! He really twisted her plump... arms! Taking advantage of Li Pan's loss of balance and falling into the bath, he grabbed his chest and coughed up the murder weapon! Hit someone with a ball, hit someone with a knife!
In short, he took advantage of the situation and threw himself into Li Pan's arms, inserting the knife into his chest!
"break!"
In desperation, Li Pan didn't even bother to hide his moves! Although the grappling hand slipped and failed to grasp the joint, he still pressed the opponent's shoulder and exerted force! Five fingers are like claws! Crush your shoulders and grab them! Push with a burst of skill!
Jiuyin! Real dragon breaks!
"Ah!"
The Nine Yin True Qi was poured into the body, and the dark energy spread all over the body! The kunoichi groaned and was knocked out with a palm! Her plump and tender body was filled with water from the palm of her hand! Like a fat and tumbling white fish, it turned three and a half times in the air, scattering a splash of water. "Plop!" It flew five meters away and fell into the pool! It created a huge wave and wet the floor of the bathhouse!
Li Pan also slipped and fell into the pool and drank a lot of water. However, he finally escaped the assassination attack and did not dare to delay. He quickly supported his body and stood up again.
Huh? Strange, there is no swamp glue? Was it an illusion just now? The texture of the water under his feet just now was obviously wrong. If he hadn't been so angry and didn't notice the presence of a third person, Li Pan would have even thought that someone was pulling his feet under the water just now and attacking him... Without any time to think about it, Li Pan
hurriedly The ribs on the chest were pulled out.
Damn it! Why is there only one knife left!
And when I took a closer look, it turned out to be ice! ?
It turns out that this is the case...
This woman came in just now, washed and rubbed her body outside, and looked all over her body. Li Panling didn't see where the knife was hidden. But when he saw the ice blade melting rapidly in the palm of his hand amid the steam, Li Pan suddenly reacted.
Damn it! ? Could this be the legendary ninjutsu! ?
Well, according to enthusiastic netizens, it should be 'Technological Ninja Assassination Technique'.
The Oda clan is good at using ninjas to spy on military intelligence and assassinate political opponents. These days, they also use traditional nindo and technological prosthetics to develop a variety of messy technological nindo. Although no one has seen it seriously, everyone who has seen it has... It's dead, but on the 0791 local online forum, it's still awesome and awesome.
This ice skate is probably a ninja method similar to 'Water Release'. Of course it is not condensed by ordinary water vapor. There should be some kind of nano-robot or something like that. After piercing the prosthetic human body, the blade will melt away, allowing The prosthetic plug-in was incapacitated and at the same time injected with various anesthetics, sedatives, and even fatal toxins.
What? How did Li Pan know so clearly?
nonsense! Didn't he get hit by a knife?
His chest felt numb, and Fuxi also showed that he had received interference, equipment malfunction, the network was interrupted, and communications with the outside world were cut off.
But fortunately, with the Nine Yin True Qi protecting the body, the blade penetrated the armor and broke the skin, but failed to penetrate the internal organs, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
The other party received a hasty slap from Li Pan, but it didn't seem to be a big deal.
Although she was hiding under the water, Li Pan could see that the kunoichi had swam to the other side of the pool and lurked silently.
He missed a blow and still didn't run away! Do you want to kill him?
