Awakening - Chapter 193

Chapter 193 Bury Part 1

In the vicinity of Kagoshima 500 nautical miles to the west of Amami archipelago, there was a small island in the international water. Strictly speaking, it was a deserted island.

Half a month ago, this deserted island, which no one cared originally, all of a sudden attracted many people’s attention.The reason for this was because there were more than forty Teikyo University students who lived in this island for a week. They were originally on board a ferry who ran aground and thus forced them to survive on this deserted island. They were finally saved by the Marine Department people who returned them safely to Tokyo.

Human is a creature that is easy to forget. Half a month later, under the barrage of varieties of news and information, not many people remembered this island anymore.

But this time, on this uninhabited island, there were several indistinct campfires. In the dark of the night, people naturally thought this fires as the legendary will-o’-the-wisp.

Then, a sudden gust of aircraft engine sound broke the calm sea.

Around 3 o’clock in the morning, a small plane landed on the sandy beach where the several fires were located.

After jumping out from the airplane, Lei Yin first carefully looked at the several heaps of bonfire, and then closely observed the surrounding environment. Very quickly he noticed the several people’s breathing in the vicinity.

After a while, a tall dark figure walked out from the woods toward the beach.

“Master, you’re here.” Dressed in military fatigues and a pair of leather boots on the feet, Rei Li, who fully dressed like a member of an arms force, very happily walked toward Lei Yin. Behind him, he was followed by several similarly dressed sturdy men.

Lei Yin yawned and said: “It’s awful, never had such a long flight.” After returning to Tokyo from Kyoto by plane, he scrambled an aircraft to fly here. In addition to stopping twice in mid-way to refuel the plane, he basically has no time to rest. Flying a plane and taking a plane were a completely different experience. The former requires one to fully concentrate. Because the small plane was slower than the passenger plane, Lei Yin took several hours to get here. Even if Lei Yin has extraordinary energy, he also felt a bit tired.

Rei Li smiled: “Master, you’ve worked hard, how about I take you to the tent to rest.”

Lei Yin nodded his head and followed him side by side.

While they were walking, he asked Rei Li: “This time, how many people came with you?”

Rei Li replied: “Seven people, all of them are my confidants so there would be no problem in the trust issue. Because I heard from Master that this thing is quite weird, I don’t bring too many people. However, because they usually kill people and do the dirty work; doing this kind of thing is the first time for them so the progress is very slow. We only found the entrance the day before yesterday.”

When they were approaching the tent, Lei Yin smelled a very fragrant taste. There was a fire pit in front of the tent where a pan was set up on thick branches on top of that fire. The fragrant smell came out from that pan.

Lei Yin smilingly scolded: “You, this kid really regard this as a camping trip.”

Rei Li smiled and said: “This place is good, there are sea foods, as well as hot springs. We also brought a lot of canned food with us. But when we’re here, my men did not eat it, they chose to catch fish or shrimp. If there are chairs and umbrellas on the beach, together with few beautiful women in bikinis, this would be like in Hawaii.”

“Cut the cr*p, I haven’t had my dinner, quickly bring me something delicious.”

“Ok, ok. In a second.” Rei Li went toward the pan on top of the pit fire and scooped the food in a serving dish.

In the tent, two people, master and disciple, each ravenously ate a plate of seafood with chopsticks like they were hungry for six months.

No one dared to believe a riff raff like Rei Li was actually a good cook. However, there was a historical reason for this.

In the past, after Lei Yin took Rei Li as his disciple, with a purpose of grooming him into the future heir of the Black Dragon, he taught him martial arts with very strict requirements. After not being able to meet his master’s ruthless requirements and being beaten several times, Rei Li went to Chang’an for help.

Chang’an told him that Lei Yin enjoyed good food, so as long as he can please his master’s stomach, his master will naturally be lenient toward him.

Thus the terrifying Rei Li began his cooking lesson.

Sure enough, after eating Rei Li’s several personally made dishes, when teaching him Lei Yin started to be lenient. Seeing that this trick was really effective, Rei Li gave his all to train his kitchen skill, hoping that it can lessen his physical suffering.

At present, Rei Li no longer needed to cook. But sometimes, on a whim, he would cook his master’s favorite dishes to recall the bittersweet feelings of those days, but only Lei Yin and Chang’an who were qualified to eat it.

After he fully satiated his hunger until his stomach was full, Lei Yin looked at Rei Li, who was still eating with gusto, and cursed: “His grandma! Are you a pig? How can you still able to eat!”

Rei Li ambiguously said: “In the beginning, I was not going to eat, but seeing master seemed to have just worked hard, I was influenced by you to eat more.”

“Bullsh*t.” Lei Yin was too lazy to bother him and picked up a bottle of water to drink.

When the two of them ate and drank to the full, Lei Yin asked: “Have you take a look at it?”

Rei Li’s face suddenly became serious, “I went in to take a look. Although I did not walk far, the inside is very amazing. Therefore, I immediately set up the signal receiver to call you from the plane.”

Rarely seeing him having such an expression, Lei Yin frowned.

After the next day’s lunch, Rei Li told his men to stay on the beach while he and Lei Yin walked into the woods.

When they arrived at the previous pit where he caught a hare, Lei Yin found that the area was completely different now. The soil around the pit has been dug into a few hundred meters wide, large, and deep pit. In that pit, stood a colossus glossy gray metal.

The size of that thing was completely beyond Lei Yin’s initial estimate. Looking from above, the whole pit seemed to consist of that thing alone, it felt as if they have dug out a part of ancient fortress. The whole scene can only be described as ‘looking at the tip of the iceberg.’ Seeing this, Lei Yin had no idea how much of that thing still buried in the soil.

From top to bottom, its height was more than 30 meters, even Lei Yin, with his power, did not dare rashly jump down. Therefore, he did what Rei Li do, tying a rope on a large tree trunk near the pit, and then slowly climbed down.

When he reached the bottom of the pit, Lei Yin saw, on the surface of several large metal plates, there were several large patterns. These patterns looked very strange and difficult to understand.

Rei Li said: “I never imagined this thing turned out to be so big. If we want to dig the whole thing, we may need two or three months to do that. Fortunately, we are lucky, because it did not take long for us to find an entrance.” He said as he walked with Lei Yin toward the Eastern part of the pit.

Arriving at the so-called entrance, Lei Yin noticed that it was not a formal entrance, but a gap that was the result of a huge external force. This gap was very big, enough to let four people walked through it side by side. Rei Li and Lei Yin then went inside each with their own portable powerful searchlight.

Until around 8 o’clock in the evening, the two people finally came out from the gap.

When they came out, the master and disciple, two people’s faces were very serious.

Looking into the darkness from outside the gap, Lei Yin bitterly smiled, “I hope we’re not opening a Pandora’s box.”

He originally thought it was one of Japanese underground bases or labs during the World War II so he wanted to dig it out to see the inside.

Although Lei Yin has no resentment for Japan’s ordinary people, regarding the Japanese government who stubbornly refused to acknowledge the crimes that were committed during World War II, he can’t let them go. If it was a lab, he did not mind ‘to beat a drowning dog,’ and put it into light. He wanted to see the expressions of those self-righteous lawmakers in the face of various countries reporters. But he did not expect it would turn out to be something so incredible.

Rei Li’s eyes revealed a strange look as he said: “If we can use those things inside, even if we want to conquer the world, that is not entirely impossible.”

Chapter 193 Bury Part 2

“Do you want to be like Hitler? Don’t be silly, in a large scale war, advanced weapons are not the key to victory. Moreover, how can you ensure that your subordinates are not going to betray you? More importantly, there is no such thing as inexhaustible energy in this world, that includes these things. If they can be used, no one knows how long they will last.”

Rei Li somewhat said in frustration: “I am just saying. Besides, striving for hegemony over the world is too tiring, not suitable for me. It’s better for me to stay in my role as an underworld gang leader and continue my debauchery. Master, now what?”

Lei Yin asked back: “Those men you bring with you, did they know the route here?”

“They should not, because I am the only one who piloted the plane. They all sat inside the cabin.”

Lei Yin nodded his head slight assured, “Fortunately, you did not bring too many people. Now the only thing we can do is to get this thing re-buried, and then quietly leave as if we have never been here.”

Rei Li with a bit pity looked at that gap, and then said: “Okay.”

The next morning, Rei Li and his seven men came here again. He then commanded them to bury the pit with soil again.

Being ordered to re-bury this thing, although those few men felt strange, since they have long been used to obediently take his order, they did not dare to say their minds and do according to order.

Running downhill is usually faster than uphill. Similarly, burying a hole is much easier than digging one. These eight people dug out this pit for nearly half a month, but when they buried it, they only spent less than four days time.

After the whole pit was buried, in order not to let Naoko and the others worry about him, Lei Yin planned to immediately go back.

After not seeing his master for so long, although Rei Li wanted to stay with him for several more days, he knew the gravity of this matter so it’s better for him to bring his men back as soon as possible. Therefore, he purposely put himself in the pilot seat and flew the plane away from this deserted island.

After they left, Lei Yin looked at this deserted island, sighed, and launched his small plane.

Due to Japan, as with the other Asian countries, using examination-oriented Education mode, exam grade played a huge factor on entering the University. Especially in Tokyo where quite a few of prestigious Universities were located at, various forms of short term or long term tutorials can be found everywhere.

In the Eastern part of Shinjuku, there was a quite famous tutorial agency. Allegedly, many students who took part in this agency’s cram school were admitted to the elite Universities. Therefore, it attracted a lot of parents to enroll their children in this agency.

At 9:30 P.M., a bell sounded from within this tutorial agency, indicating that the tutorial was over.

After a while, a stream of students came out from this tutorial agency.

In the slightly crowded flow of people, a girl with fluttering long hair attracted the attention of many people near her.

Usually, students who normally study well have some obvious characteristic. For example, the most common one was shortsighted because of overusing the eyes, lack of exercise which made their bodies unfit, and there were quite a few with introverted personality and not good at communicating with people. Although no one can say that this theory is absolutely correct, it certainly covered a large part of them.

But this theory obviously cannot be applied to this girl. All the people who knew her knew that her grades were very good, so good that they did not seem to think that she needed this cram school.

The girl was unlike the others who wore thick glasses, her body was surprisingly slim and moving. The warm smile that she put on her face when she talked to her companion showed that she was not an introverted person. But the most important thing was that she was very beautiful.

Such a smart and beautiful girl was hard not to attract the attention of others. Therefore, a lot of male students in this tutorial agency were aware of her presence. Therefore, everyday, there would be one or two letters in her drawer asking her to study together.

When they were out of the tutorial agency, the girl said to her companion said: “Sorry, Little Juan, I may not be able to go back with you today. My sister just called me and said she would come and pick me up, so I am going to wait here for her.”

“What, you actually have a sister?” Her companion asked in surprise.

The girl smiled and nodded her head, “Her name is Kazumi, one year older than me. Although not my biological sister, she treated me very well. Last time I told you that my home is in Hokkaido. But I actually live away from home in her house. Half a month ago she was back from vacation.

“She started working yet?”

“Not yet, she is now a first-year student in Teikyo University.”

Her companion gawked: “A student in elite Teikyo University? That’s so awesome.”

When the two people spoke, a Honda stopped not far away from them. Then, a young woman in a white knee-length dress and a silver thin frame glasses came out from the back seat of the car.

After getting off the car, she called out toward the girl, “Rumi.”

“Kazumi, you’re here.” Seeing her, the girl very happily ran toward her.

Worthy to be a student from an elite University, so classy. The young girl’s companion enviously looked at the smiling Kazumi.

“Is uncle Maeda also here?” Rumi recognized the car belong to Ryutaro Maeda.

Kazumi smiled without saying a word.

“I’m sorry, but you need to guess again.” Along with a familiar male voice, a young man walked out from the driver’s seat.

After seeing that person, Rumi was completely shocked, then her eyes slowly teared up.

“Rumi, I’m back.” Lei Yin said with a smile at her.

“Senior!” The long hair waved through the air as the girl rushed toward that man.
