Chapter 864: Reiwa Phantom Thief
Tokyo Narita International Airport, Japan, is one of Japan's largest airports, with passenger throughput and aircraft take-off and landing frequency second only to Haneda International Airport, also in Tokyo.
However, compared to the larger Haneda Airport, Narita Airport is even better known among local Tokyo residents.
The reason is that newlywed Japanese couples like to go abroad for their honeymoon, and Narita Airport has become a must-pass place.
And during the honeymoon trip, the newlyweds expose the shortcomings in each other's living habits due to some trivial daily life, triggering conflicts.
After returning to Tokyo, that is, after arriving at Narita Airport, these conflicts will break out completely.
So in Narita Airport, one can often see quarreling couples or husbands and wives, and there are many people shouting to break up or divorce.
So this phenomenon also derived a slang called "Narita breakup."
After Luo Quan got off the plane, she encountered such a situation as soon as she arrived at the airport hall.
People were coming and going in the hall; perhaps the fatigue of the journey made these couples reach the critical point of tolerance for each other, and even in public, they finally had no choice but to start complaining and nagging each other.
However, in this cold country, not many Japanese people want to go up to persuade them to fight, just wearing masks, carrying their luggage and leaving quickly.
On the contrary, those tourists from abroad stopped when they saw these couples quarreling fiercely, considering whether to go up to persuade them to fight.
"Is today a special day in Japan, why are
Gao Liang curiously asked Luo Quan; just walking along the way, he had already seen three couples, and they were of all age groups.
Luo Quan smiled and explained: "Narita Airport is like this; it seems the Feng Shui isn't good, and couples who come here will want to quarrel."
"I don't feel that," Gao Liang looked at Mia, "honey, do you want to quarrel with me?"
Mia gave him a listless glare: "If you want to, I don't mind scolding you in front of everyone."
"How could that be, honey." Gao Liang hurriedly hugged Mia and persuaded her nicely: "I can't bear to quarrel with you."
"If you show off your affection again, I won't be able to take it," Luo Quan expressed her protest.
These two really show off wherever they go; don't they know there are many single dogs here?
She, Wen Xia, Lin Ruoli, and Cheng Nuo are all alone.
"Haha, I'll try to restrain myself." Only then did Gao Liang realize that he seemed to have stimulated his sister's heart, and he apologized hurriedly.
Afterward, he said: "But sister, if you can't take it, you could totally find someone, even if it's just finding a guy to let you experience the feeling of being in love; just dating and doing nothing else, that should be pretty good too.
Otherwise, you're over twenty and haven't even had a proper relationship; wouldn't life be a bit too monotonous?"
Wen Xia smiled and said: "Your sister's standards are so high; I'm afraid she hasn't found anyone who catches her eye yet."
"Dating without the goal of marriage is just being a hooligan." Luo Quan didn't want to drag this out with her brother, and one sentence made him shut his mouth.
It can only be said that Americans' view on dating is really too casual; just to experience the feeling of being in love, doing this kind of thing that clearly has no future is something Luo Quan simply cannot accept.
"Stop being smart; relationships are a serious and earnest matter, how can you be so casual!"
Mia also felt that what Gao Liang said didn't fit her values, and she spoke up directly with displeasure.
Seeing that he had provoked public anger, Gao Liang immediately admitted his mistake and begged for mercy: "I was just saying it casually; I didn't really want you to do that, sister. Just pretend I let out a fart."
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry and get out of the airport; the hotel's private car has already arrived." Luo Quan started to urge them.
Although she has a house in Tokyo, it's a three-bedroom apartment, and the six of them definitely wouldn't fit, so like before, they are still staying at a hotel.
But just as they reached the door, they found that it had already been blocked by a crowded mass of people.
The surrounding area was very noisy and filled with questions and complaints in various languages.
Luo Quan stood on tiptoe to look outside and found that officers in police uniforms were setting up blockade tape, clearly preparing to seal the door.
At this time, the airport's broadcast began an announcement:
"Respected passengers, in order to cooperate with the investigation by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Narita Airport will enter a temporary lockdown state. Please wait patiently in the lobby for a period of time. We are truly very sorry for the trouble caused to you………………"
"What happened?"
"What happened?"
Questions arose one after another all around.
Gao Liang was also asking his sister; he couldn't understand Japanese and only heard clearly one "Hontou ni sumimasen," which seemed to mean an apology.
"The police want to come in to investigate, so they sealed the door. It's estimated that a criminal suspect ran in, so they blocked the road to prevent him from running."
Luo Quan could understand it, but the airport's announcement itself was vague, only asking passengers to wait patiently in the lobby without saying what it was for.
"Not sealing it early, not sealing it late." Wen Xia sighed, pushed the handle of her suitcase back in, and sat on the suitcase.
"We just had bad luck and caught it, what can we do? Let's wait."
Luo Quan adjusted her mask and sat down just like Wen Xia.
And those passengers gathered at the door, seeing they couldn't get out, also cursed and returned to the lobby one after another.
Soon, the officers who had completed the blockade began to enter the airport lobby from various entrances.
They were fully armed, and many were even wearing bulletproof vests; it looked like the criminal who snuck in this time was quite fierce, and those who didn't know might have thought they were terrorists.
"Hey Luo Quan, aren't you a goddess in Japan? Can you go find the officials from the police side and talk to them, let us sneak out secretly."
Wen Xia suddenly said this, encouraging Luo Quan to take everyone through the back door.
"No, do you really take me for a god?" Luo Quan looked at Wen Xia, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Where do I have such high status in Japan? Being liked by the public doesn't mean I can call the wind and summon the rain in administrative matters."
Wen Xia didn't think so: "How do you know if you don't try? Maybe those officials are also your fans?"
"I think Wen Xia makes sense; in the US, there are also many officials who are your fans." Gao Liang chimed in from the side.
"Uh… then I'll go try." Seeing that it had come to this, Luo Quan stood up and walked toward the door.
Indeed, sitting here foolishly isn't a solution; heaven knows how long the lockdown will last.
Having sat on a plane for several hours, everyone was quite tired, and getting to the hotel early meant they could rest early.
"Sorry, miss, the airport is temporarily locked down and leaving is not allowed. Please return to the lobby and wait patiently. We will let you pass as soon as the lockdown is lifted."
The officer blocked the approaching Luo Quan with a serious expression, and several others even reached behind them, as if they were ready to act at any moment.
"Don't be nervous, take a look at who I am."
Luo Quan took off her mask, revealing a bright smile.
"Luo… Luo Quan!" Several officers were instantly pleasantly surprised: "Didn't expect it to be you; why did you come to Tokyo!"
Luo Quan replied: "Isn't the Olympics coming up soon? I'm also competing, and since I have to come anyway, I arrived in Tokyo early to travel."
"I see, then I will immediately go notify Officer Mumu."
An officer knew that if Luo Quan was here, the situation would be different; he couldn't make the decision, so he had to ask his superior.
And during the time he was gone, several other officers were also excitedly asking Luo Quan for autographs.
Afterward, Luo Quan even took the initiative to take photos with them.
However, five minutes later, when this officer returned, behind him was a large group of samurai holding long swords.
Luo Quan took a look, and there were at least sixty of them.
The leader, with a shaved pate, saw Luo Quan and waved his right hand directly: "Take her!"
The remaining samurai immediately drew their swords and surrounded Luo Quan tightly.
Judging from their movements and steps, they were all experts with spiritual energy.
"What are you doing? Didn't you recognize me? I am Luo Quan."
Luo Quan wasn't panicked by being surrounded by so many people; she just emphasized her identity.
"Don't be deceived by her words, take her down immediately!" The leading samurai shouted, and the rest of his subordinates swarmed up immediately.
Although she didn't know what had gone wrong, Luo Quan wasn't someone who would just take a beating without fighting back.
Although these samurai were not low in Wu Gong, they were still a bit early to deal with her.
She flashed toward the samurai closest to her, used an Iron Mountain Lean to shoulder-check into his chest, and then used the Yagyu Shinkage-ryu's "No-Sword Take" to snatch his samurai sword.
Then she turned around and swept out a sword light, forcing all the samurai behind her to retreat.
Afterward, she even displayed the exquisite sword techniques of the Hokushin Itto-ryu, hacking away all the samurai who pounced on her.
Hokushin Itto-ryu was originally an extremely exquisite sword technique, advocating defeating the enemy with one move and winning with skill.
But in Luo Quan's hands, it turned into a reckless sword style like the Niten Ichi-ryu.
But there was no help for it; who told her to have strength several grades higher than these samurai?
Swinging and hacking casually could also knock them over.
In less than half a minute, nearly half of the samurai were lying on the ground.
Fortunately, Luo Quan didn't use too heavy a hand, only making them temporarily lose their fighting ability.
"I'll reiterate one more time, I am Luo Quan. No matter what the reason is for you sealing the airport, if you attack me again for no reason, the consequences will be very serious!"
Up to now, Luo Quan was only using the back of the blade to face the enemy, just like Kenshin's reverse-blade sword; it hurts to hit people, but it's not fatal.
But if she added a little more strength, even the back of the blade would have great lethality.
Now she could still control her emotions, but if this continued, it would be hard to say what would happen next.
And the samurai leader saw the situation and also realized something was wrong.
According to the intelligence, although that thief had endless methods and was extremely difficult to deal with, his frontal fighting power shouldn't be this terrifying.
The siege of nearly sixty samurai, even Shinto guards couldn't handle it, but in front of this "Luo Quan," they couldn't even last one round.
According to what he knew, only the real Luo Quan had such terrifying strength.
Could it be, this is the real one?!
A drop of cold sweat seeped from his forehead and slid down his nose to the ground.
If this were really the case, then it would be a huge blunder.
Just at this moment, a black sedan sped over and stopped by the side of the road.
Three men in black suits got out of the car and ran over.
Looking closer, he found that the leader was none other than Jinggong Jinggong Ya Zuo, whom he hadn't seen for a while.
"Luo Quan, is it really you?"
Jinggong Jinggong Ya Zuo asked carefully.
He rushed over as soon as he heard the news that Luo Quan had appeared at Narita Airport.
Although he didn't quite believe that it was such a coincidence that Luo Quan appeared at the airport today.
But if it really was her, and if they mistakenly treated her as a criminal, that would be a huge sin, the kind that even seppuku couldn't wash away.
And facing the Crown Prince's question, Luo Quan sighed and asked patiently: "How should I prove it?"
"I remember when you left Japan back then, we also parted at Narita Airport. Do you remember what you said at that time?" The Crown Prince looked at her "affectionately"; those who didn't know might have thought they were lovers reunited after a long separation.
Luo Quan was speechless at being looked at like that: "It's been so long, how could I remember? I only remember you kept asking me if we could still be friends."
Actually, Luo Quan was still giving the Crown Prince some face here.
In that situation, Luo Quan could only use a famous scene from Bilibili to describe it:
"Fortunately, we didn't get a marriage certificate; getting one would delay you for a lifetime."
"Can we meet again, Yanzi?"
"When we meet again, you must be happy!"
"Remember, you must be happy, okay?"
"Yanzi!"
"Yanzi, how can I live without you, Yanzi."
"Yanzi, take me with you, Yanzi."
"Ahhhhhhhhh——"
………………
Luo Quan felt that in this situation, using the above scene to replace it couldn't be more appropriate.
But now in public, she couldn't say the truth and could only remind the Crown Prince of what he said back then in a tactful way.
She would pat her butt and leave in a while, but the Crown Prince still had to live in Japan for decades; didn't he need face?
And hearing Luo Quan's answer, Jinggong Jinggong Ya Zuo's cheeks flushed, and he smiled awkwardly: "It seems it is the person herself without a doubt. Everyone, we all made a mistake; this is Luo Quan herself."
"Nani?!" Everyone from the officers to the samurai was stunned, and then came incomparable embarrassment.
The person in front of them was actually Luo Quan, and just now they had even moved to arrest her.
Several samurai lowered their heads to look at the short swords at their waists, considering whether to commit seppuku to apologize.
Luo Quan spoke helplessly: "Forget about these things for now; can you tell me what happened? Everyone is acting like they are facing a great enemy, sealing the airport, and even shouting to kill me."
This sentence made several officers even more ashamed, wishing they could find a hole to crawl into.
Jinggong Jinggong Ya Zuo took Luo Quan to the side and lowered his voice: "My father's palace was burglarized, and the Yasakani no Magatama, one of the three sacred treasures, was stolen.
And the person who stole it left the words 'Reiwa Phantom Thief' on the wall.
Through investigation, we tracked him all the way to Narita Airport. To prevent him from escaping Japan by plane, we sealed the entire airport!"
