Chapter 1327: Chapter 1322 Sugiyama Ryoko

Abeng was startled for a moment; it was the first time he had heard Chinese from the mouths of these kimono-clad maidservants. How should he put it? It was quite novel.

The two new guests also seemed to be floating on air. Their arrival appeared to have alerted the entire restaurant, with more and more kimono-clad maidservants coming out and warmly ushering the pair inside.

But in Abeng’s eyes, these two were not really any big deals, merely Level 6 New Humans. However, these Level 6 New Humans did have quite a presence here; after all, in Wanhe Third District, let alone Level 6, you could hardly see a few Level 4s, as most were Level 1 or 2, with the occasional sighting of Level 3 New Humans.

Before long, a woman dressed in white came out to greet the two men, exchanged a few sentences with them in fluent Chinese, then led them into a private room. The moment they entered, whatever they said made them seem very generous in spirit, and a group of kimono-clad maidservants scattered with laughter.

The woman in white summoned a few maidservants and said something in Japanese; then she was about to leave. At that moment, her gaze fell on Abeng standing across the doorway on the steps. Their eyes met for a brief second. The woman pondered for a moment before saying something else to the maidservants, pointing her hand towards Abeng—a scene that left him quite perplexed.

Soon after, he saw the woman approaching him, walking towards the front of the restaurant. She beckoned to him.

"Child, come here."

Abeng looked around confusedly before realizing that he was the "child" the woman referred to. He pointed to himself, and the woman across from him nodded.

Although he had no idea who the woman was or what she wanted, curiosity got the better of him, and Abeng couldn’t help but go over to her.

"Sister, what do you need me for?" Abeng asked politely.

The woman sized him up for a moment, then Abeng saw a flash of pity in her eyes, instantly understanding why she had called him over.

She really thought he was a beggar!

She squatted down to his level, making eye contact with Abeng, and asked in a gentle voice, "Are you Chinese?"

"Yes, I am," Abeng nodded.

"Where are your parents?"

Even though the woman was Japanese, her Chinese was very fluent and her Mandarin was very clear. Had it not been for the Japanese she had just spoken, Abeng might have almost mistaken her for a native Chinese.

Her question silenced Abeng for a moment. He shook his head soon after and said, "I... I don’t have parents."

"No parents..." The pity in the woman’s eyes deepened as she continued, "What is your name?"

"I don’t know. Some people call me Abeng; you can just call me Abeng, sister."

"Is that so? Are you hungry?" The woman straightened Abeng’s dirty clothes and patted his stomach, making him feel uncomfortable throughout. Except for Gong Xiao, it seemed no one else had ever dared to do this.

"I... I’m not...," Abeng struggled to reply. He was a Level 8 zombie, after all. How could he possibly feel hungry? And even if he ate human food, he wouldn’t get much sustenance from it, so he didn’t know how to answer the woman.

However, she just smiled, interpreting Abeng’s hesitant reply as shyness, too embarrassed to ask others for food.

Without giving it much thought, she led Abeng upstairs and brought him into a private room, gently saying, "Wait here a moment, food will be served to you soon. My name is Sugiyama Ryoko, you can call me Liang Zi. I’ll have to go busy myself for a while but will come back for you later."

"Oh-oh-oh."

Sugiyama Ryoko left the room with the same smile as before. It was only then that Abeng reacted, hurriedly calling out to her, "Uh... Liang Zi sister, I’d like to ask about someone."

"Who?"

Abeng quickly took out the photo Yi Huangcheng had given him. Sugiyama Ryoko looked at it for a while, shaking her head, she said, "I haven’t seen this person. Who is she to you?"

"She’s my sister... I’m looking for her."

"Is she in Wanhe Third District? If so, I can help you look for her," Sugiyama Ryoko offered. Seeing Abeng, who looked to be around eleven or twelve and wearing filthy torn clothes, seemed to stir her maternal instincts, compelling her to want to help him more.

Finding someone in Wanhe Third District wouldn’t be difficult with the influence of the Zhukouchuan company, but if they were not there, Zhukouchuan could do nothing. This was Cloud Gorge Base, within China’s territory. Here, besides Chinese, citizens of other countries ranked third class, and Chinese bore a significant hostility towards Japanese. Not just ordinary people, even many Level 8 New Humans among the Cloud Gorge Base’s upper echelons held significant biased views against Japanese. And back when Zhukouchuan company was just establishing its foothold in Cloud Gorge Base in its sixth year, it was two Level 7 New Humans who led the charge to smash the newly built company headquarters. At that time, the strongest weren’t Level 8— but Level 7!

It could be said that among the entire Cloud Gorge Base, the circumstances for Japanese were the worst. Their existence to this day was only possible because they were the first to show their loyalty to the Chinese as foreign subjects. Moreover, to accomplish this, the two Level 8 New Humans among the Japanese had utterly become lapdogs for the two major powers, in exchange for conditions allowing Japanese to survive in Cloud Gorge Base.

Even so, the Japanese could only move within Wanhe Third District. Once outside, without fluent Chinese, the hatred entrenched in their blood would lead Chinese to unfold an unabashed killing spree. In fact, many Goryeo natives laid dead on the streets precisely due to this, which was also the reason for the hostility between Zhukouchuan and Nanxin.

Although the Japanese were incredibly resentful, they could do nothing about it. Resources were tightly gripped by the two powers, and most Level 8 New Humans were Chinese. The foreign Level 8 New Humans barely accounted for one-tenth within the entire council. To survive, they could only bow their heads in submission.

"I don’t know. All I know is that she is in Cloud Gorge Base," Abeng hesitantly said.

"I see, I’ll look for her. If there’s any news, I’ll let you know."

"Thank you."

Abeng said sincerely. It wasn’t long before a plate of Tsukimi Fried Noodles was brought in. After the server left, Abeng took a bite, his expression contorting fiercely.

"It’s tasteless!"

He complained, but he could not afford to waste food. He forced down the half-cooked egg, the only part of the dish he could swallow. As for the noodles? Unfortunately, zombies were not humans. Even though they could eat human food, the taste had to be extreme, either overwhelmingly sweet or incredibly spicy.
