Chapter 224
What do you want to do?
But as soon as the words were spoken, everyone put down their weapons and returned to their seats or where they had been standing, and everything returned to calm.
"You cast an illusion on them?"
Venti looked at the group, who had calmed down, and understood what Li Yue's actions had just meant.
"That's right. I restored them to the state they were in before we arrived, so now they don't see us at all."
As Li Yue spoke, she looked at Chizuru Kayo, who was staring at them.
Li Yue's illusion did not affect Chizuru Kayo, nor did it affect Isuke Kagetane beside her or their boss.
They were now staring at Li Yue in utter shock. They had witnessed everything that Li Yue had done to take control of everyone in the conference room.
One hand controlled everyone present except them, and even now, right in front of them, those people were completely unaware; they were all Li Yue's puppets!
Furthermore, why did Li Yue leave them uncontrolled? Did they intend to do something to him?
"Hey, Xia Shi, I've brought my men over."
Li Yue raised her hand to greet Chizuru Kayo, who nodded blankly.
Isuke Kagetane frowned, drew his Prometheus Blade from his back, and prepared to make a move.
"Mr. Shōgen, it's alright."
Suddenly, Chizuru Kayo spoke up from the side, and both Isuke Kagetane and his boss Mishima looked at Chizuru Kayo with suspicion.
"Do you remember what I said this morning, Mr. Shōgen? Do you believe in gods?"
"Could it be that..."
"They are gods, you know. The ramen I just had was given to me by them, right, Mr. Li Yue?"
Chizuru Kayo asked Li Yue, but his tone revealed certainty.
With an IQ as high as 210, she easily figured out that Li Yue was the Meme Lord in the group.
"That's right, I am Li Yue, and they are the gods I promised to bring."
As Li Yue spoke, she suddenly pointed at Venti.
"Of course, that doesn't count; he's just Wind Spirit."
Venti:...
"And this one isn't either; he's just here to make up the numbers."
This time it refers to Zhongli.
Zhongli: Then you shouldn't have brought me along.
Welcome to my world.
Chizuru Kayo bowed very politely to Li Yue, but while bowing, she was holding a bowl of meat noodles in both hands, which looked a bit strange.
"Alright, let's wait here for a bit."
Li Yue waved to the crowd behind him and walked to Chizuru Kayo's side. Isuke Kagetane and the boss Mishima looked at them nervously, and then whispered to Chizuru Kayo, "What do you mean?"
"You know them? What exactly is going on?"
"They are very powerful people, and I heard they are coming to take over Tokyo."
Chizuru Kayo made no attempt to hide anything and directly stated Li Yue's purpose.
Upon hearing this purpose, Isuke Kagetane and Mishima were utterly shocked.
Just as they were in shock, the conference room door was pushed open, and a boy and a girl dressed in high school uniforms, along with a little girl, walked in.
The main characters Rentaro Satomi, Kogere Tendo, and Enju Aihara, have made their appearance.
The story has officially begun.
402. The Villain Appears
Rentaro Satomi's appearance marked the official start of the meeting.
Because of Li Yue's presence, Isuke Kagetane no longer intended to mock Rentaro Satomi after he entered. His attention was entirely focused on Li Yue, who was standing next to him. His boss, Mishima, was sitting in his seat like the other bosses, but he had no interest in attending the meeting. He only wanted to know who Li Yue was and what the gods that Chizuru Kayo had mentioned were all about.
As for Chizuru Kayo.
"To other people, you two are both in a normal state. They can't see the noodles in your hand, so you can eat them however you want, and they won't see any of that."
Li Yue said this, and Chizuru Kayo believed it. So she stood there and started eating noodles from a bowl that was a bit too big for her, completely ignoring the other people around her. Isuke Kagetane could see Chizuru Kayo eating noodles, but he didn't dare to say anything. He just watched Li Yue nervously.
"Are you hungry too? Want some noodles?"
Li Yue noticed that Isuke Kagetane was always looking at her, so she turned to him and asked him a question.
"Uh... no!"
Isuke Kagetane quickly shook his head. Mishima was sitting in the seat in front of him, couldn't help but shake his head as he listened to Isuke Kagetane's words. What was this simple-minded guy up to?
"Actually, even if you want to eat it, you can't, because I don't have any noodles on hand right now. These are noodles I got from the kitchen before I left, and I gave them to Xia Shi before I came here. If you want to eat them now, I definitely can't make them."
Why are you giving such a serious explanation?
The boss, Mishima, had his back to the group and was internally complaining.
"In short, that's the end of this mission. Please make sure you find this box."
On the projection screen in the conference room, the girl who issued this commission was summarizing. She was the highest leader of the Tokyo area, known as the Holy Emperor. Beside her stood an old man with a full head of white hair, a long beard, and even wearing a kimono. He was the deputy of the Tokyo area, the nominal deputy, but the real power holder in reality, Kikunojyo Tendo.
Hehehe~~
No sooner had the Holy Emperor finished speaking than laughter erupted in the conference room.
Who is it?
The Holy Emperor asked a question through the screen into the conference room.
"It's me!"
A man in a tuxedo and a clown mask suddenly spoke, attracting the attention of everyone present.
"Who are you?"
"Who is he?"
Venti also spoke up at the same time, but she was asking Li Yue.
"A villainous character."
"Oh~~"
This guy is obviously a villain, does he even need an explanation? Shouldn't we be revealing his name or identity?
Mr. Mishima sat in his seat and once again internally complained.
The man being questioned simply leaned back in his chair, put his feet on the conference table, and then, as if defying gravity, his upper body sprang up from the chair and stood steadily on the table.
"I am Hiruko, Kageyasu Zaibatsu."
"This is our first meeting, incompetent head of state."
He very politely removed his top hat and bowed deeply towards the screen.
"How have you been, Satomi-kun?"
After greeting the Holy Emperor, he greeted Rentaro Satomi. The two of them had met not long ago, so they knew each other, but they were enemies.
"Where did you come from?"
"When they came in just now, I took advantage of their distraction to come in from the side, and then stayed in my seat with my head down."
The question was asked by Rentaro Satomi, and the answer was given by Li Yue, who was explaining it to Chizuru Kayo, Li Yue was standing next to him.
"He kept his head down?"
Chizuru Kayo imagined Kageyasu Zaibatsu lowering his head and trying to make himself less noticeable, and couldn't help but chuckle.
But Kageyasu Zaibatsu, standing on the conference table, was unaware that he was still continuing his presentation.
"Let me introduce you, Kohina, come here."
"Okay, Dad."
A little girl carrying two small knives and dressed in Lolita fashion emerged from the crowd, climbed onto the conference table, and, imitating Kageyasu Zaibatsu just now, greeted the Holy Emperor with great elegance.
Then, Kageyasu Zaibatsu began to explain his plan of action. This commission was actually sent by the Holy Emperor to find a lost box by all the police officers who came here, and Kageyasu Zaibatsu also wanted to find that box.
As a result, the conflict between the two sides was originally started by the simple-minded Isuke Kagetane, who found Kageyasu Zaibatsu annoying and simply picked up the greatsword on his back and slashed at him, only to be bounced back by the opponent's repulsive force field.
However, because of Li Yue and the others, he didn't go up. Instead, he kept his attention focused on Li Yue. He enjoyed listening to the various pieces of information Li Yue was sharing. Of course, he was even more shocked that Li Yue had made it so that no one else could see them.
As the conflict erupted, everyone present drew their guns and fired at Kageyasu Zaibatsu, including Rentaro Satomi. However, what surprised Li Yue was that not only Rentaro Satomi come, but also Enju Aihara. Enju Aihara should have been at school at this time. She pretended to be an ordinary person, hiding her red eyes, and attended an ordinary school. Later, she was exposed and was directly ostracized and expelled from school.
Of course, even though Enju Aihara was here, the fact that they couldn't hurt Kageyasu Zaibatsu with their guns remained unchanged; the repulsive force field rendered pistols and even rifles useless.
All the bullets fired at Kageyasu Zaibatsu were deflected by his repulsive force field, instantly hitting a large number of people at the scene. Boss Mishima, who would have been injured, was not hurt because he did not fire this time but instead retreated.
"What is that shield?"
Venti asked again, still curious.
"That's not a shield, it's a force field, or rather, a force called repulsion. It's literally the force that repels enemies, repelling anything that gets close and any attacks. Although he's still human, many of his organs have been modified into mechanical parts, so he's essentially a cyborg. Therefore, through his mechanical organs, he can create a repulsive force field that surrounds his entire body. Ordinary people are no match for him, and even some people with the Vision can't break through his defenses."
If you don't have enough power, you really can't break through this repulsive force field, not even Original God.
"I can't believe it! What an amazing thing!"
Venti exclaimed.
"But transforming myself into a cyborg is still too strange."
"That's right, I don't understand why they do this either. If they just want a repulsive force field, they can simply create a suit of armor or an exoskeleton to wear on their back, and then carry a battery pack on their back to use the repulsive force field. Directly Cyborg is a bit strange."
Li Yue shrugged in return, expressing her incomprehension.
All I can say is that the Japanese way of thinking is truly strange.
After showing off, Kageyasu Zaibatsu revealed his true identity and then turned and left the building.
At this moment, the Holy Emperor finally revealed what was inside the box they were searching for.
403. The Plan to Occupy Tokyo
"The Qixing's Legacy? The name sounds rather romantic."
The meeting had ended, and the staff of the Mishima Royal Police Company returned to their company headquarters in a special car. However, there were several more people in the car on their way back, namely Li Yue and her group.
"Do you remember what I said before, that humans researched viruses, which led to their spread, triggering a monster crisis and causing humanity to become what it is today, barely surviving?"
Li Yue casually uttered words that utterly shocked Boss Mishima.
"Wait, could Gastrea Virus be...?"
"Gastrea Virus was originally called the Demon Virus. It can redesign organisms. In addition to analyzing the host's genetic characteristics, it can also modify them into the most suitable shape to parasitize the organism and rewrite its genetic factors in a very short time, making it Gastrea. It retains the properties of the parasitic organism, making it huge and ferocious without causing the body to collapse."
"After discovering this virus, the first thing humans thought of was to study whether it could be controlled and utilized by humans."
"So, they set up a laboratory in Seven Stars Village, Japan, and used little girls for human experiments. The so-called Qixing legacy consists of the toys and other things that the little girls liked the most when they were alive. Because they are imbued with their aura, once opened, they will attract the original owners of these items, who have now become LV5 Super Gastrea."
In simple terms, it revealed the history of humanity's self-destructive behavior in this world, and it also made everyone at the Mishima Royal Police Company widen their eyes.
"So, the reason humanity has become what it is today is entirely due to humanity itself?"
Zhongli nodded silently beside him. Although he had heard it once before, hearing it again still shocked him. He didn't understand why humans could do such a thing, but he was truly shocked.
The locals were also very surprised when they learned that their world had become such a mess because of humanity itself.
However, while Mishima was surprised, he also had some other thoughts.
That is, if it weren't for humanity's reckless actions, he wouldn't have been able to get to where he is today.
Before the apocalypse, Mishima was just an ordinary businessman. After the apocalypse, he met Isuke Kagetane, a simpleton who had nothing but brute force. With Isuke Kagetane's formidable strength and Chizuru Kayo's intelligence of 210, the two of them became the ace of Mishima Royal Police Company, and then Mishima climbed to his current position.
For some, the end of the world is the end of the world, but for others, it is an opportunity, because there will never be a shortage of people who want to make a fortune from disaster!
"So, are we going to find the Qixing's Legacy?"
Venti, still driven by her curiosity, asked Li Yue a question.
"Unnecessary."
"Oh? Why?"
