"Have I been seen through?"
The masked man sighed heavily, removed his mask, and revealed a handsome and youthful face—it was none other than Lin Ying, the president of the Jiangcheng No. 1 High School Journalism Club!
Should I call you " Jin Ni," the leader of Twilight of the Gods, or " Tai Sui," the queen of Huaxia Ministry of State Security's special agents?
Su Sui removed the Emperor Hero mask. "That's what I should be asking you. ' Jueying,' the chief traitor of the Imperial Crown Team in 2025, and ' Nurarihyon, ' the infamous king of spies in United States of America in 2035."
"Let's have a friendly chat," Lin Ying said, putting down her weapon and extending a gesture of goodwill. "After all, we're both 'future people' who traveled back from 2035 in a consciousness-stream machine."
"Alright, I also have a lot of questions to ask you, let's talk about it." Su Sui winked, " Sister Liuli, if he dares to make any rash moves, just shoot him in the head."
"Okay." Liuli's palms were sweating.
Su Sui looked up and asked, "When did you awaken your future memories?"
"A month ago, specifically September 1st, 2025, after Su Hang disappeared," Lin Ying said with a sigh. "When I woke up, I thought I would be in jail, but unexpectedly, I had a memory of the future in my mind."
"I am Nurarihyon, the spy king of the United States of America in 2035. I travel back to 2015, 20 years ago, aboard the Hundred Demons, a consciousness-streaming machine, to carry out the plan to assassinate Liuli and destroy the time machine."
"For some unknown reason, he suffered from amnesia for ten years, and only regained his future memories after Su Hang disappeared."
"Looks like we're in the same boat," Su Sui sneered. " The United States of America gave you a mission to assassinate Liuli, so what are you planning to do with her by taking her away on your own?"
"Naturally, we'll have her research the time machine," Lin Ying shrugged. "After all, in this world, only Liuli can research a fully-fledged time machine that combines the physical body and consciousness, sending a complete person back to the past."
"Instead of the stripped-down version of the time machine we use, which can only send people's consciousness back to the past."
Su Sui seized on the key point, "What do you want to do with the time machine?"
"First and foremost, it's definitely about getting revenge on Su Hang. After all, he made me suffer so much humiliation by Crowned and Proclaimed Emperor," Lin Ying said without any hesitation. "Secondly, it's about ruling the world."
Su Sui asked in astonishment, "Rule the world?"
"You know, I was a child prodigy since I was little, but unfortunately, my seriously ill mother and gambling father were suffocating me."
Lin Ying sighed, "If it weren't for Su Hang buying me a cell phone when I was eight years old, allowing me to get into King of Glory, changing my destiny, and becoming the vice-captain of the Imperial Crown team, Jueying, who earns millions a year, my life might have ended up like this, a tragic one."
"He relied on photography equipment rented from school to work tirelessly to pay for his mother's medical expenses and his father's gambling debts, living a life of unbearable hardship while trying to make ends meet."
Su Sui sneered, "Are you trying to gain sympathy?"
"Of course not," Lin Ying smiled. "Looking back now, why did I join the Hundred Demons Team? Why did I choose the name Nurarihyon? And why did I infiltrate the Imperial Crown Imperial Crown to plot its overthrow?"
"Because these are all projections of future memories from the subconscious, it's just that I didn't know that at the time due to amnesia, and I think you probably did too."
Su Sui was slightly taken aback. Just as Lin Ying had said, even though she had lost her memory, she firmly believed that Su Hang was her brother ten years ago. She kept the pull tab on the soda can and, with the help of her subconscious, led Su Hang into the King of Glory of Glory team and joined the Imperial Crown Team.
You might laugh at my dream of ruling the world.
Lin Ying's eyes flashed with madness as she said, "But I, with my amnesia, have already tested it within the Imperial Crown's Imperial Crown, establishing its rules and regulations, setting up various departments... I will build the Imperial Crown into a game empire deeply rooted in the hearts of King of Glory!"
"The early Imperial Crown was a microcosm of the feudal empire. Su Hang was the emperor with supreme power, and the core members of the Imperial Crown were princes and ministers."
"The mid-period Imperial Crown was a microcosm of a capitalist empire. Su Hang was a monarch in name only, and the core committee composed of the core members of the Imperial Crown was a parliament that held all the power."
"And the later Imperial Crown... sigh."
Lin Ying covered her face and sighed, "I had clearly become the master of the Imperial Crown, but I made a mistake and underestimated the loyalty of the Three Champion Emperors and the core members to Su Hang, which led to a complete defeat and made me a pariah, hated by everyone."
Su Sui sneered, "At least you have some self-awareness."
"When I completed the experiment at the Imperial Crown, I realized that ruling the world isn't that difficult; it's simply a matter of money, manpower, and weapons," Lin Ying said with a broad smile. "Money is the simplest and most important element."
"Lottery, football betting, stocks... if I wanted to, I could make hundreds of billions in no time."
"Manpower? Black Continent has plenty of labor. If all else fails, India will do."
"As for weapons, tanks, planes, submarines—if you have money, what can't you buy on the black market?"
Su Sui scoffed, "Your thinking is terrifyingly naive. In the face of a powerful nation, even if you manage to seize territory and establish a country, with your meager military and weaponry, a single intercontinental ballistic missile from a powerful nation would reduce you to ashes."
" Tai Sui, I want to ask you something." Lin Ying didn't answer directly, but instead smiled, "How can you ensure that the top leadership of Huaxia in 2035 can gain 100% trust from the top leadership of Huaxia in 2025?"
"A top-secret national file, how come..." Su Sui suddenly froze mid-sentence, her expression changing drastically, "Nuclear bomb codes?"
"Only nuclear weapons codes can guarantee the trust of the higher-ups," Lin Ying sneered. "Do you think the United States of America in 2035 would tell me the codes to its national nuclear weapons?"
"So what if you know the codes to United States of America's nuclear weapons?" Su Sui forced herself to remain calm. "Without obtaining the nuclear launch boxes from the highest-ranking official in the White House, launching a nuclear missile is nothing but a pipe dream."
"I don't have it now, but once I recruit soldiers and arm a well-trained force," Lin Ying said with a hint of madness, "A terrorist attack on the White House, a kidnapping of the highest-ranking official, and the acquisition of nuclear missile launchers..."
"You're crazy."
Su Sui's pupils dilated in shock. There was no doubt that Lin Ying had betrayed the United States of America, which he had been loyal to. It truly proved what his Su Hang had said, " Nurarihyon is a traitor for a day, and a traitor for a lifetime!"
The madness in Lin Ying's eyes gradually faded as he said, "With the deterrent effect of thousands of nuclear warheads, I think I'll soon be able to rule the United States of America."
"So what? Even if you can rule the United States of America, the rest of the world can still wipe you out if they join forces," Su Sui said through gritted teeth.
"Failure is just a matter of starting over." Lin Ying gazed at Liuli with deep affection, as if looking at a rare treasure. "As long as Liuli develops a fully functional time machine, I can travel back to the past before I fail."
"Revenge on Su Hang is just a pretext; your real purpose is nothing more than that."
Su Sui's eyes were filled with anger, and her chest heaved violently. This Nurarihyon- talking shrewd schemer was terrifying. He had planned out all the escape routes. No wonder her Su Hang was tricked back then.
but...
"That's enough, Nurarihyon." Su Sui picked up her submachine gun.
"We were having a nice conversation, why did you pull out a gun?"
Lin Ying smiled and calmly pulled open her clothes. "This is a high-explosive bomb connected to my heart. As soon as my heart stops beating, the bomb will explode immediately."
"What?" Su Sui's pupils contracted to a single point.
"Of course, that's not the point. The point is this small controller that connects to the Tomahawk Cruise Missile at the Guam military base. The blue button on the left is for self-destruct, and as for the red button on the right—"
Lin Ying pressed the red button, and the devil whispered, "Fire!"
