Awakening

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.”
