Unfortunately, his previous attempt to investigate relevant evidence through Norma yielded nothing.
Clearly, the person behind it all had already destroyed all the evidence.
Such explosive news left not only Genjiro himself bewildered and at a loss, but also the other high-ranking members of the Snake Clan in disbelief.
The young master of the Minamoto clan is no longer the young master of the Minamoto clan; he has transformed into the young master of the Uesugi clan, and the world is starting to turn upside down in ways they no longer recognize!
"Young people aren't very good at accepting things. They're already starting to question life? The really exciting stuff hasn't even been revealed yet."
"Hey junior, hey, gotta be watching the drama unfold online~"
Lucy Pallas said she'll never have the chance to fight on the front lines, but she can still enjoy watching the drama unfold.
At this moment, her gossip spirit was burning brightly.
"What if I said that whether it's Tachibana Masamune of the Snake Clan or the King General of the Demon Clan, they are all just clones controlled by some cunning old man behind the scenes using the unique Word of Power: Shadow Servant?" Cao Han immediately made a prediction about Genji, "Don't say anything impossible, Genji."
hiss--
If the news that "Tachibana Masamune and the King are the same person" was on the third level, then this news has taken us directly to the fifth level.
It's so outrageous that even screenwriters couldn't come up with it!
If what Cao Han said is true, it would undoubtedly be a resounding slap in the face to everyone in the entire Snake Clan.
So many mixed-race people in Japan have been manipulated by one person for so many years.
Especially Miyamoto Shio and Ryoma Genichiro, who had just been vehemently supporting Tachibana Masamune, suddenly became the prime suspects for the others, and those around them instinctively kept their distance.
"I don't know." Miyamoto Shigeo's first instinct after realizing the reality was to distance himself from the situation.
"Words are meaningless. You say the patriarch and the king are clones of the same person, but you haven't produced any evidence yet." Only Ryoma Genichiro still wanted to make a last-ditch effort.
Cao Han shook his head and made a bear-like shrug gesture: "Actually, I gave you the hint a long time ago. Didn't I already tell you that Tachibana Masamune and the King are the same person? Can't someone with a stronger ability uncover his true identity?"
A human skin mask!?
Traditional ninja training courses did indeed include instruction on how to make them, but because the process was so complex, fewer and fewer people were willing to learn it anymore.
The idea of respecting the dead is a traditional Eastern concept.
Furthermore, Tachibana Masamune's death was far too gruesome. Everyone subconsciously avoided looking in that direction, otherwise they would have a sense of impending doom, as if they too would be beheaded at any moment.
After a moment of looking at each other in bewilderment, Genjiro, still eager to pursue the truth, took the initiative to squat down at the location of Tachibana Masamune's head.
Even if you've never seen a pig run, you've never eaten pork. Based on his understanding of human skin masks, Genji reached out and began to carefully explore the jawline of Tachibana Masamune's head inch by inch.
Judging from the feel alone, you can't tell that there's a human skin mask, but if you look closely, you can see a barely perceptible crack where blood splattered on the jaw and neck.
"Cock!"
Yuan Zhisheng's heart stopped beating for a moment, and not only his hands, which were reaching for the crack in his skin, trembled, but also his worldview of seventeen years.
With blood staining the skin and the fact that the skin becomes stiff and lifeless after death, even the most perfect human skin mask will reveal its flaws.
Once a breakthrough is found, the rest will simply fall into place.
Genjiro began to expand his "victory" little by little from the thin slit in the skin. As the face belonging to "Tachibana Masamune" was gradually peeled back, another face that was completely unfamiliar to everyone present appeared before their eyes.
"Who is this person!?"
The same question arose in the minds of everyone except Cao Han. Bright, cloudy, or shrewd eyes were all scrutinizing the face with its high nose and deep-set eyes, which clearly belonged to a Westerner.
Just as Westerners can easily recognize Asians, Asians can also easily recognize Westerners' faces.
"More detailed information should be available to Normacha sometime. I'll just give you a brief overview here."
This guy's full name is Jung von Herzog. He was once the youngest PhD at the German Institute for Biological Research and the chief scientist in Germany who was in charge of researching the genes left behind by a certain super hybrid.
In addition to this, he was also the person in charge of the 'Black Swan Harbor Project' back then.
Unlike this old fellow who came to Japan to seize the power of the gods, I came to Japan simply to slay dragons.
Cao Han did not reveal all the information he remembered, because going into too much detail would only make him suspicious.
For example, others might question how he knew such confidential information.
Upon further reflection, could this actually be Cao Han and Herzog revealing each other's werewolf identities due to disagreements and unequal distribution of spoils?
The truth was laid bare before Genjiro, and he was so devastated that his eyes lost their light. He muttered to himself, "So, my entire life trajectory was preordained?"
"Actually, you don't need to be so pessimistic. At least the fact that you are Genjiro is real and unchangeable!" It can only be said that Cao Han knows how to comfort people and immediately grasped the core essence. "And you don't need to worry. I assure you that the old grasshopper won't be jumping around for many more days."
"Cao Jun, if you have any plans, could you involve me? I want to end all of this myself!"
Hatred is also a source of motivation. When Yuan Zhisheng heard Cao Han's words, his eyes immediately lit up again, revealing his undisguised hatred for Herzog.
Faced with Yuan Zhisheng's request, Cao Han looked troubled. Logically, he shouldn't refuse, but considering his plans for the next move were somewhat unconventional and shocking, he had no choice but to politely decline the request.
"You've just suffered a setback, so you should take some time to recover."
"I am okay……"
"No, something's wrong! The Snake-Headed Eight Clan desperately needs you, my patriarch of the Genji Clan!"
Cao Han's words served as a wake-up call for the heads of the Snake Clan, who had suddenly realized their mistakes. Thinking about how they had been manipulated by others for so many years, these self-proclaimed cunning and shrewd individuals were so ashamed that they wished they could disappear into a crack in the ground.
At this point, even someone with a problem in their brain would openly stand up and oppose it.
Look at who supports Genjiro's appointment as the head of the Snake Clan.
Uesugi Kotsugi, the former Shadow Emperor who once led the Snake Clan;
Angers, the principal of Kassel College who once single-handedly subdued the entire Japanese-mixed race and established a branch in Japan;
Cao Han, the last one, was an absolute heavyweight. He easily dealt with the god who had left the entire Serpent Clan helpless. He was a ruthless person who acted without hesitation and never talked back.
As for Fingel and Lucy Pallas, they were automatically ignored.
When weighing two benefits, choose the greater one; when weighing two harms, choose the lesser one!
Clearly, for all the high-ranking members of the Snake Clan present, having Genjiro as their patriarch is the most beneficial choice at present, without exception!
"I...okay."
At the same time, with so many people supporting him, Genjiro realized that he probably had no chance of refusing, and his sense of justice also made him not too resistant to this position.
In fact, in the original work, Genjiro also took the position of patriarch after Tachibana Masamune faked his death. In comparison, he only lacks a bit of experience in the Execution Bureau.
Although the events were full of twists and turns, the final result was good.
After these people left, news of Genjiro, the new head of the Snake Clan, spread rapidly throughout the Japanese underworld.
at the same time.
In Osaka, not far from Tokyo, at one of the residences of the president of a certain Mitsubishi Heavy Industries company.
The frantic smashing and looting had lasted for more than half an hour. When the servants finally came in, they found that not a single item was intact. This showed just how enraged the person inside had been.
The so-called great concealment is hidden in the city.
Herzog's other identity, the leader of the Oni Clan, is hidden in the mansion of the president of a certain Mitsubishi Heavy Industries company.
The president and many servants had long been under mental control without their knowledge, and were completely obedient to the king.
Word of Power: Shadow Servant is a very unique Word of Power.
Through the power of words, Herzog can tear his own soul apart and possess other people like a shadow.
However, this possession requires extremely strict conditions. For example, the soul of the possessed person must not resist; otherwise, the soul is essentially gone forever.
Fortunately, Herzog found a new path by leveraging the power of technology, and with pure technology and ruthless clones, there was naturally no question of soul resistance.
Souls are connected.
Just as Tachibana Masamune was killed by Cao Han, Herzog's physical body and the King's soul on the other side simultaneously felt a sharp pain.
Then, a flood of memories from Tachibana Masamune's death rushed into their minds at the same time.
A fallen god...
The divine weapon, the Kusanagi Sword...
Cao Han, the murderer who disrupted the plan to kill the god...
And that black arc that sent shivers down your spine... What an elegant and fierce strike!
After reading through Tachibana Masamune's memories before his death, Herzog probably still doesn't realize that at this moment, Cao Han, this cheat-like guy, is about to expose him completely.
Inside a secret room where no one knows.
Herzog is constantly communicating with his soul counterpart, the King...
"That guy must have hidden the remains of the gods somewhere!"
"I will have someone find a way to investigate his whereabouts."
"Use all the power of the Demon Squad to search. As for the human, have Kazama Ruri keep an eye on him the whole time. As soon as you see the target, take him away immediately!"
"can."
"Use all the liquid funds from the Paradise Pavilion, and then post a bounty on the dark web!"
"it is good."
A generous reward will surely bring forth brave men. Herzog was furious that Cao Han had ruined his grand plan that he had been laying out for many years, and he hated him to the core.
What's the point of having a lot of money and wealth if you can't seize the White King's power and take his place?
Herzog is accustomed to plotting and scheming from the shadows, but he is also not lacking in the courage to go all in.
Since the mixed-race people in Japan can't do anything about Cao Han, then let the world's many talented mixed-race people come up with a solution.
No matter how strong Cao Han is, he is still a biological being, and therefore has the fatal weaknesses that all living things possess, such as deadly poisons...
This was Herzog's last desperate attempt in such a short time. If he could snatch the remains of the god from Cao Han, he would have a way to steal its power.
A true cunning strategist never puts all their eggs in one basket.
Having backup plans is perfectly normal.
However, Herzog probably never imagined that his opponent, Cao Han, had a "clairvoyant" ability, and that the location of his supposedly hidden research base was exposed by Cao Han's cheating methods.
If it weren't for wanting to play the "Jiang Taigong fishing" trick to lure Herzog into taking the bait.
Cao Han had already gone straight to the heart of the matter and completed the [Hunting Mission] without saying a word.
There are three days left until next week's [Hunting Mission] refreshes.
