But plans can never keep up with changes.
Suddenly, the entire building shook violently, and Genjiro and Tachibana Masamune staggered involuntarily in the elevator, with Tachibana Masamune even hitting his forehead.
Originally, a 6.5 magnitude earthquake occurred, and the city hall sent an earthquake warning to all citizens.
Genji frowned; the timing of the earthquake was simply too bad.
At this point, Princess Kaguya had completed the lockdown and was about to trap them, but there were still many ordinary people trapped in the building who could not be evacuated.
Because no one can guarantee that aftershocks will not occur, and if strong aftershocks do occur, it will cause a large number of deaths.
Moreover, according to safety drills, ordinary employees are required to evacuate immediately in the event of an earthquake. This sense of crisis is deeply ingrained in the Japanese. People in the building saw the earthquake text message and began to arrange evacuation, but the doors to all passageways were blocked.
The employees remained calm, but if the building remained locked down, the situation could easily spiral out of control.
At that time, panic will spread among the crowd, and even without an earthquake, pushing and trampling may cause other accidents.
Therefore, Genjiro suggested to Tachibana Masamune that the blockade be lifted.
However, Tachibana Masamune felt that he had to catch the rat in the mural hall first, because the contents of the mural hall were very important and if they were to be leaked, it would shake the foundation of the Snake-Headed Eight Families!
Yuan Zhisheng still had some humanity; he knew he couldn't gamble with the safety and lives of so many people, so he prepared to go to the mural hall alone to catch the rat that had sneaked in.
When Tachibana Masamune heard that Genji was going to take the risk himself, he pretended to be kind and said, "Isn't that a bad idea? You're the head of the family, why don't I go instead?"
At this point, Genjiro still trusted Tachibana Masamune and naturally didn't want him to take any risks, because Tachibana Masamune's bloodline was quite ordinary, and therefore his physical and combat abilities were also quite ordinary.
"Five minutes, give me five minutes. By then, whether or not we catch the intruder, open the door and let everyone inside evacuate." With that, Genji jumped onto the maintenance access panel above the elevator and pulled Tachibana Masamune to a safe place.
……
the other side.
Gu Ran originally planned to go to the mural hall to spar with Genjiro, but he changed his mind after discovering those Dead Servants.
What needs to be done now is to kill Deadpool, collect his blood sample, and unlock the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
As for my itch to spar with Genjiro, it seems I'll have to postpone that.
He was quite looking forward to fighting the so-called 'Emperor'.
Currently, the Deadpools are mainly concentrated in the central area, near the elevator shaft, and some Deadpools have also invaded an unnumbered floor.
“The unnumbered floor… that should be where Erii is.” Gu Ran rolled his eyes as he searched that floor. There were layers upon layers of security gates, like a bank’s vault, and a lot of medical equipment was stored there.
Meanwhile, Deadpool had already invaded this floor and was wreaking havoc on the medical staff. It seemed that few of the medical staff had any bloodline and were not even able to protect themselves, because each of these Deadpools had the strength of a Berserk A-level!
Soon after, all the medical staff died at Deadpool's hands. Deadpool didn't stop, preparing to break into the deeper rooms.
But at that moment, the person in the room, through the thick vault door, pierced the door panel with a single slash, stabbing Deadpool, who was trying to break in, through the heart of the metal door, leaving him hanging on the thick metal door.
This strike was made by Erii inside; her technique was swift and decisive, and her attack was fierce.
After dealing with the Deadpool, Erii took off her kimono in the room and went to the bathtub to take a bath.
Because she rarely sees sunlight, Erii's skin is fair and smooth, with the unique radiance and softness of a young girl. Her figure is slender and graceful.
Gu Ran was admiring Erii's figure with an artistic eye when suddenly, as if sensing something, Erii looked towards Gu Ran's location from several floors away, with a puzzled expression on her face.
For a moment, Gu Ran thought Erii had discovered him.
But upon closer reflection, it becomes clear that this is impossible.
After all, they were several floors apart, and Erii didn't roll her eyes, so how could she possibly have noticed him?
It's probably just that Erii's sixth sense is too sensitive, and she sensed that someone was watching her.
Gu Ran withdrew his gaze; seeing Erii bathing was just an accident.
Chapter 422 Unlocking the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan
Seeing Erii taking a bath was just an accident; it was something I saw unintentionally during a reconnaissance mission, not something I deliberately spied on!
You know, I'm a morally upright person, and I would never peek at girls taking a bath.
After looking away, Gu Ran rolled her eyes at Lu Mingfei.
At this moment, Lu Mingfei took the elevator to the fourteenth floor, where he received a cheat code from his boss, Lu Mingze: a mobile phone with all the limits of Genji Heavy Industries!
This phone is also called the key to Lanruo Temple, and the boss's goal is to make Lu Mingfei play Ning Caichen and meet Erii, who is like a fairy, at Lanruo Temple.
Next, Lu Mingfei used the phone and the map inside to avoid the Executive Bureau's search and head to the floor where Erii was.
Gu Ran withdrew his gaze and ignored Lu Mingfei. Instead, he used camouflage to conceal himself and flipped over to the outer wall of the building.
The outer wall was illuminated by lights, and the snipers on it were aiming with optical sights. Because infrared night vision and thermal imaging would make it difficult to distinguish between enemies and friendly forces, optical sights were used to avoid friendly fire. Moreover, the lights on the outer wall were sufficient at this time, so there was no need to use night vision devices.
However, this gave Gu Ran an opportunity, allowing his camouflage to come in handy again. After making his body transparent, he gathered chakra under his feet and walked along the wall.
This way, he can go to the floors and areas he wants without being affected by Kaguya's blockade.
He lightly jumped out of the window, letting his body freefall. When he reached the second floor, he used the Super Light Rock Technique to make his body float in the air for a moment, then found another window and climbed in.
The moment Gu Ran entered, he smelled a strong stench of blood.
Unfortunately, this area has been invaded by Deadpool.
Fortunately, Princess Kaguya sealed off all the major areas, so these Dead Servants were not allowed to go anywhere else and remained trapped here.
Gu Ran saw five corpses on the ground, all dressed in black trench coats. These were all people from the Execution Bureau. Those who could come and go from Genji Heavy Industries were all elites from the Execution Bureau.
But the five elites were slaughtered by a Deadpool, and the Deadpool was still eating their corpses on the ground.
These Deadpools are all human-bodied with snake tails, artificially created using gene-editing technology.
If I remember correctly, Herzog conducted experiments such as hybridization of bears and snakes during the Soviet era, and he also mastered the gene-editing technology passed down from Sanders.
In summary, these are all the technological legacies he left behind in Black Swan Harbor in the Arctic Circle, and they have all been put to use here.
The Deadpool, which was devouring the corpse, suddenly noticed Gu Ran watching them eat. It immediately let out a beastly roar, as if warning Gu Ran, or as if it wanted to see him as prey as well.
Gu Ran lightly patted his wrist, activating the summoning talisman in his hand and summoning the Ichimonji Norimune katana.
The Ichimonji Norimune has a blade length of 78 centimeters. A similar sword is called Kiku Ichimonji Norimune, which is a ceremonial weapon.
However, the Ichimonji Norimune in Gu Ran's hand is a true weapon of mass destruction.
Deadpool seemed to sense the threat posed by the katana in Gu Ran's hand, and it launched the first attack, charging towards Gu Ran.
This Deadpool is tall, at least two meters tall, but he doesn't move very fast.
Gu Ran activated his three-tomoe Sharingan and, using the permissions copied from Xia Mi, easily saw through the Deadpool's weakness. Then, he chanted dragon script, uttering profound and majestic dragon language.
Word Spirit·Judgment!
He easily dodged Deadpool's attack and retaliated. When Deadpool was a meter away from him, the katana's blade slashed through the air across Deadpool's waist.
The next instant, this tall, snake-like dead servant was instantly cut in half at the waist by the command from the void!
Gu Ran's area of judgment was not as wide as Erii's; her area could extend to a radius of one kilometer, while his area was only one meter in circumference.
But a meter is enough, because the destructive power of this word is astonishing!
At this moment, the Death Servant, who had been cut in half at the waist, let out a terrified wail. Although it was still alive because of the dragon blood, the wound that Gu Ran had cut off was constantly corroding and turning black.
Deadpool also has emotions. It felt immense fear because it knew that being struck by the Word of Judgment meant certain death, and that it would never live again.
Gu Ran had no intention of torturing it. He stepped forward and stabbed its head with a knife, then stabbed its heart with another knife, rendering it unable to move again.
With a thought, he directly submitted the blood from the tip of the knife to the system.
The next second, the bloodstains splattered on Gu Ran's clothes and the blood from the knife tip disappeared instantly.
Then, the system sent a notification:
[Obtained a high-energy, berserk blood sample]
[Reward: Chakra +3, Current Chakra Total: 120 cards]
[Current progress of unlocking the Immortal Body is 85%]
[Eternal Kaleidoscope unlock progress +1, current progress 48/48]
[Progress in unlocking Susanoo's second form +1, current progress: 6/36]
[The Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan has been unlocked!]
[Unlock Sharingan Eye Technique: Kagutsuchi]
Currently, the Rinnegan can be unlocked. Collecting blood samples of grade A or higher will advance the unlocking process.
[Current Rinnegan unlock progress: 0/96]
[Note: Unlocking the Rinnegan requires unlocking the Sage Body.]
Just then, a cool sensation suddenly appeared in Gu Ran's eyes, as if they had been washed by the most gentle water in the world.
He took off his contact lenses and saw the world anew.
There are no more blurry afterimages or astigmatic halos in the eyes, but a clear and bright world, and the eyes can possess eternal light.
With a slight sense, one can clearly feel that the power of the pupils is increasing dramatically, as if they possess eternal power.
"Although the power of the pupils will eventually be depleted, there will be no risk of blindness again."
This is the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan!
Just as Gu Ran was feeling the power in her body, a sound suddenly came from behind her.
A female, snake-like Deadpool appeared behind him.
The female Deadpool was short, extremely fast, and made very little noise. If Gu Ran hadn't been constantly on guard, he probably would have missed it.
In an instant, Gu Ran dodged the female Death Servant's attack, and the tiled floor he was standing on was smashed to pieces by the Death Servant.
After dodging the attack, Gu Ran immediately turned around and glanced at the Deadpool.
Eye Technique·Amaterasu!
Because he was always worried about losing his sight, Gu Ran had never used this ninjutsu before.
Now that I've unlocked the Mangekyou Sharingan, I can finally use it without restraint.
In an instant, a flame from Amaterasu appeared and attached itself to the female serpentine dead servant. The dead servant seemed to have never seen such an attack before, and for a moment it did not dodge, allowing Amaterasu's flame to hit its body.
However, once Amaterasu's flames come into contact with it, they are not so easy to extinguish.
