Chapter 233
"They'll say yes, they'll say yes, they'll say yes!"
Venti made three consecutive requests, using her charm to beg the Holy Emperor to grant her wish.
The Holy Emperor looked at Venti, who was acting cute in front of her, with some surprise. She did not expect that this boy, who could easily stir up a gale and carry people through the sky, would make such an expression.
However, the Holy Emperor had been observing the people in front of her, especially the few sitting at the table. She felt that she had discovered something extraordinary.
422. Gin: We are different.
After Scorpius entered Tokyo, Raiden Shogun instantly killed Scorpius's existence and claimed to be a god. Although Kikunojyo Tendo thought that humans had mastered some kind of technology, which allowed them to release lightning and fly, and even kill Scorpius, Raiden Shogun easily killed those who disobeyed her orders, and there was no trace of technology in it.
The Holy Emperor had already accepted in her heart that the other party was a true god, and as she had said before, it was better to let the Raiden Shogun, who was capable of killing Scorpius, protect Tokyo than to let her, a puppet whom Kikunojyo Tendo called an incompetent puppet, manage Tokyo.
Now, Raiden Shogun is sitting at a table, not even in the main seat, surrounded by a group of people dressed in retro attire, just like Raiden Shogun.
She even personally experienced being swept up in the wind and flying through the air!
Then the Holy Emperor could boldly guess that if the Raiden Shogun was naturally the God of Thunder, then could this boy who controls the wind be the Wind Sound?
Besides the Anemo Archon, there were four other people: a girl dressed in blue, with a French medieval style, a little girl in a green skirt, and two men dressed in a style reminiscent of Chinese Rosy Orange.
Could these four be some kind of deities?
Faced with a group that is very likely to be full of gods, the Holy Emperor could not refuse. So after Venti made her request, she chose to grant it. After Wendy obtained Sapporo, she would go to Sapporo to help him manage Sapporo. Before obtaining Sapporo, she would stay in Tokyo to learn how to become a lively idol.
In Tokyo, Mishima is helping to manage things, while Venti has found the Holy Emperor to help manage Sapporo in the future. This has made the remaining three of them start to think about whether they should ask people from this world to help manage it.
After all, they are not from this world and do not know much about it. On the Teyvat continent, each country has enough talented people, but those talents are basically only familiar with the situation in Teyvat and how to manage Teyvat. Coming to such a completely unfamiliar place, the difficulty of managing it is too great.
Therefore, it is necessary to find locals to help with the initial management. While locals are handling the initial management, Teyvat administrators should also come to learn. After they have thoroughly learned the skills, Teyvat administrators can then participate in the management of this world, preparing for the subsequent large-scale transfer of Teyvat personnel to this world.
Nahida thought so, Furina thought so, Zhongli thought so, and Li Yue had been thinking this way from the beginning. After all, he himself couldn't manage things, and the management here would definitely be handed over to Zhongli to find someone to be in charge. This was also the reason why he brought Zhongli here. Therefore, as the Grand Governor of Liyue, Zhongli had to consider this matter.
However, Venti has found someone who seems trustworthy, but it will take some time for Nahida Furina and Zhongli to find the others, since they are truly unfamiliar with this place.
It would take some time before the three gods sought revenge, and Li Yue didn't concern herself with how they searched for people. While waiting for the results of the assassination attempt in Osaka, Li Yue spent her time having a great time in Tokyo.
Every world has its own unique characteristics, so what are the unique characteristics of the world of Black Bullet? Well, it's the abundance of Cursed Children!
Because of the policies promulgated by Li Yue's Raiden Ei, all the Cursed Children have been given official status and human rights, while the wild Cursed Children have all been recruited by the government and joined official orphanages.
Thus, an orphanage full of Cursed Children appeared in Tokyo.
Then Li Yue spent every day at the orphanage, playing with a group of little girls, and chatting with her friends in the Chat Group while playing with the cute little girls.
[I am the real alcohol: This world is terrifying, I feel like I'm going crazy.]
[So Arrogant! It's just time distortion, it can't be that serious. I'm supposed to commit suicide to pass this level. Yours is just time distortion, it's not like you're going crazy. I'm the kind of person who's willing to slit my own throat at the drop of a hat. I've attempted suicide so many times, and I haven't gone insane.]
[The Perverted Scum Man: Heh, if we're talking about going crazy, it should be me. My three teammates are the ones who can really drive people insane.]
[Meme Lord: What's wrong with you guys? Why are you all going crazy?]
[The Fat Woman in Black Stockings: Because in Zhenjiu's world, time has become chaotic, so he came to us to complain.]
[I am the real alcohol: Hehe, today is Wednesday, tomorrow is Sunday, the day after tomorrow is Christmas, and then immediately after Christmas it'll be summer with a typhoon.]
[I am the real alcohol: If you go out in normal clothes today, it might snow tomorrow, and you'll wake up freezing in the morning. But by the time you start sleeping wrapped in a blanket, you'll wake up the next morning drenched in sweat from a nightmare! What kind of insane time-space manipulation is this? It's killing me!]
[Big Clumsy: Is this really that exaggerated? This time span is too much! From Christmas straight to summer? That's like skipping half a year in a single day!]
[The Hair Gel Man in the Sky: This kind of time-disruption is indeed a bit exaggerated.]
Not to mention Rin Tohsaka, even Aizen felt that this change was a bit exaggerated. It was a completely chaotic timeline with no regularity. Originally, he thought that there might be some layers in time, but he did not take the seasonal factors into account. Once the seasonal factors were taken into account, it was really terrifying.
[I am the real alcohol: Haha, because of this chaotic time, I have no idea what I should do next. I have no idea when to start implementing my plans. Now, the first thing I do every morning is ask my underlings what day it is and what I'm going to do. If I don't ask, I'll be completely clueless!]
[The Fat Woman in Black Stockings: Just like he said, if it were me, I think I'd probably go crazy. It's impossible to live like this unless I stay home forever and never go out.]
[Meme Lord: That's because you haven't adapted yet. Although what he said sounds terrifying, this is normal life for people in their world. They can easily adapt to this kind of life. Don't believe me? Ask him if the next day suddenly turned into winter. Would the other people around him suddenly wake up the next morning in winter pajamas?]
[Fat Woman in Black Stockings: Real alcohol?]
[I am the real alcohol: Yes, regardless of the season, the clothes they wear the next morning are perfectly suited to the temperature and season.]
[Fat Woman in Black Stockings: Is this even allowed?]
Gin looked at the message from Kasumigaoka and sighed helplessly.
[I am the real alcohol: I'm the only one who's completely different from them all.]
That was indeed quite tragic.
423. Heading to the Conan World
Joining a Chat Group that spans multiple worlds was a huge shock to Gin, but what shocked him even more was the truth about his world: a world where time is controlled by the Bleach!
He was completely unaware of these things before, but after joining this Chat Group, he learned the cruel truth about this world.
His recent experiences, in particular, have made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Just as he said in the Chat Group, every morning when he wakes up, he finds that the time is wrong, and even the season and weather are completely wrong.
Today might be April, tomorrow it will be December, and the day after tomorrow it will be August.
This is deadly! It's truly deadly! For the first time, he felt that he would die sooner or later at the hands of this incredibly terrifying and abrupt change in seasons. The sudden changes in temperature were almost as good as taking his life.
Although he is a professional assassin whose body can withstand all kinds of extreme environments, that is with a lot of preparation. Without preparation, who can cope with such continuous and crazy temperature differences? It really will kill people.
Gin had guessed that he had probably lived a similar life to the Vodka around him in the past, waking up every morning dressed exactly according to the temperature and season. But since joining the Chat Group, he was different from everyone else. Because of this magical thing, the Chat Group had taken him out of the realm of ordinary people and put him in a state where he was the only one in the world who was awake.
He had a love-hate relationship with this state. Gin himself was rather arrogant and looked down on ordinary people. So when he learned that he had also been controlled by the Bleach Reaper in the past, he felt very resentful. He was very unwilling to have his life controlled by the Bleach.
But after escaping Bleach's control, he felt uneasy again. Although he was living a life free from control, the reality was too unpleasant, and he had to succumb to the terrible reality.
[I am the real alcohol: Do you guys have any ideas on how to resolve this situation?]
The unyielding Gin chose to ask his Chat Group members for help.
[Fat Woman in Black Stockings: You should ask the Group Leader about this kind of thing; he's the expert at handling these situations.]
Kasumigaoka offered her advice. In her eyes, although Li Yue had caused a lot of trouble in her world, Li Yue would indeed help the group members if they encountered difficulties. For example, Li Yue had helped Rin Tohsaka, one big and one small, making their world much better than before.
[Meme Lord: While I do help group members, unfortunately, I really can't help you with your world. That's because that involves controlling time, and I only have spatial abilities, not temporal ones.]
To resolve the time chaos issue in the Conan World, the solution is actually quite simple: just kill Conan. However, no one knows what would happen to the Conan World without Conan. Li Yue, on the other hand, doesn't care what happens to the Conan World and simply kills Conan. With his spatial abilities, killing Conan would be a simple matter of one strike for Li Yue. But the problem is that Li Yue has no grudge against Conan, so it's impossible for him to go and kill Conan just for Gin's sake.
Therefore, Li Yue refused to help Gin.
[The Hair Gel Man in the Sky: I'd like to go check it out.]
[Meme Lord: Oh? Captain Aizen is interested in this?]
[The Hair Gel Man in the Sky: That's right, I'm very curious about that world with its chaotic timeline, so I want to go and see for myself, experience the special circumstances of that world, and then see if I can analyze it.]
Aizen was indeed interested in the situation in the Conan World, especially the Conan World. He was very interested in Bleach who could control time. As for why he was interested, it was naturally for his own future control over the Bleach world.
Aizen wanted to become the new ruler of the world, and time was naturally a very important factor. So he wanted to see how the Bleach in Gin's world controlled time.
Li Yue probably understood Aizen's thoughts, since Aizen was a researcher who wanted to study anything new.
How could he not want to study a world where time is chaotic and controlled?
[The Hair Gel Man in the Sky: Li Yue-kun, could I possibly visit Mr. Real Wine's world?]
[I am the real alcohol: Gin. You can just call me Gin.]
Although this wasn't his real name, but a code name, Gin had gotten used to using this code name as his real name, so he simply let the other person call him Gin.
[The Hair Gel Man in the Sky: Okay, Mr. Gin, please allow me to experience your world.]
[The Hair Gel Man in the Sky: Is this convenient, Li Yue-kun?]
[I am the real alcohol: I have no problems.]
[Meme Lord: I'm fine with it. I don't have anything planned lately, so I can go check it out and experience Gin's magical world.]
[The Hair Gel Man in the Sky: Then I'll wait for Li Yue-kun to come and help me open the door.]
[I am the real alcohol: What preparations do I need to make?]
[Meme Lord: Just find a relatively secluded spot to wait. Once we get there, let us know in the group chat, and we can come over.]
[I am the real alcohol: Okay!]
Gin didn't hesitate to put on his clothes, left the Men in Black's base, and drove to find a secluded place. He eventually found a secluded underground parking garage. After all, he was in Tokyo, and there weren't many secluded places to find. Moreover, in order to welcome Li Yue and Aizen, he didn't even bring Vodka this time and came out alone.
After arriving at the underground parking garage, Gin sent a message in the Chat Group, telling them that he had begun his wait, and then began to wait for Li Yue and Aizen to arrive.
Less than two minutes after he sent the message, a blue Portal appeared in the underground parking garage.
Gin sat in his Porsche, his eyes wide as he watched a blue Portal appear in the air above the basement, and then the two of them walked out of the blue Portal.
Li Yue and Aizen are working together again.
As soon as Li Yue landed, she saw Gin's antique Porsche and Gin sitting in the driver's seat, staring in disbelief.
He raised his hand to greet Gin.
"Gin, we're here."
424. Tokyo who will all die sooner or later
In the Conan World, Gin drove his Porsche through the streets of Tokyo. This was the first time Gin had ever personally received someone. Normally, he never received anyone in the organization, since there were very few people worthy of his attention, except for the Boss. Everyone else was either his peer or subordinate, and the Boss was mostly hidden in the shadows. So, this was the first time in many years that he had personally come out to receive someone.
"Is this Tokyo in this world?"
"Yes, this is Tokyo, the most bustling place in Japan, and the place where I have been active for the past few years."
In the Porsche, Gin sat in the driver's seat, acting as the driver, while Aizen sat in the passenger seat, looking out the window and chatting with Gin. As for Li Yue, he sat directly on the roof. Since Gin's Porsche 365a antique car only had two seats, Li Yue could only sit on the roof. However, the wind had no effect on him. Anemo element surrounded him, protecting him from the interference of the strong winds as he moved forward.
"Captain Aizen, how do you feel about this city?"
"It's very ordinary."
Aizen looked out the window and answered Li Yue's question. In Aizen's view, this city was indeed very ordinary, no different from Karakura Town. If there was any difference, it was probably that this place looked more prosperous than Karakura Town, but this made no difference to Aizen.
"Li Yue-kun, does that Bleach live in this city?"
"That's right. The Bleach usually lives in this city, but he often leaves the city to go to other places in Japan. The price is that when he goes to other places, people will start to die because of his arrival. The longer he stays in a place, the more people will die."
That sounds terrifying, doesn't it?
Gin was internally complaining as he drove, because Li Yue was protecting not only him with the wind, but also the Porsche below. So, because of the Wind Current, even though Li Yue was sitting on the roof of the car, Gin could clearly hear what he was saying.
"If he lives in Tokyo for a long time, wouldn't the people of Tokyo die very quickly?"
Aizen asked curiously.
"That's right. Because Bleach is in Tokyo have always died very quickly. This is true. In addition to natural deaths, many Tokyo also die from various calamities caused by Bleach."
Li Yue explained happily.
"However, Captain Aizen doesn't need to worry about all the people in Tokyo dying out, because in addition to people constantly dying because of Bleach, new life is constantly being born in Tokyo, so population is not a problem."
"It's only temporarily without problems. Li Yue-kun, the population maintenance method you mentioned has a major problem."
Aizen did not agree with Li Yue's point of view.
"Because time in this world is fixed, humans can never grow up. Although newborns are constantly appearing in this chaotic time cycle, these newborns will never grow up. The contribution of an adult to society is completely incomparable to the contribution of a newborn to society."
"Once adults die too many times due to the existence of Bleach, the resulting population shortage will render any number of newborns useless, because these newborns will never grow up and will remain just newborns, unable to bring any benefit to the city."
"It seems Captain Aizen has thought things through very well."
Li Yue smiled and nodded.
"That's right. Within a fixed time loop, a newborn can only be considered a new life. But since they can't grow up, they will gradually drag the world into the Abyss. And what causes all of this is the Grim Bleach makes time loop infinitely."
"Does this Bleach Reaper want to destroy humanity?"
Gin couldn't help but speak up.
"That's not the case. He has no interest in destroying humanity. After all, he himself lives among humans. If all humans were to die, he wouldn't be able to live either."
"But this looks like it's gradually destroying humanity."
"Although this will continue indefinitely and lead to the collapse of human society, it will take a very, very long time, so there is no need to rush."
Conan has been around for over twenty years, how many people has he killed? The number of people who have died is even less than the number of people who died on the battlefield. It's just average.
