Chapter 1689 Regrouping (My belly is getting fatter and fatter)

The Japanese government, which has always been inefficient and is known as the Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Child along with the British government, has been efficient this time. In just half a month, the order of the sorcery world has been completely reshaped. The original system dominated by the three great families was smashed to pieces by Duanmu Huai, and the students and sorcerers of the Tokyo and Kyoto sorcery high schools were integrated and joined a new government department, the "Special Religious Inspection Office".

They were given the task of arresting or even executing the curse master. Of course, according to Duanmu Huai's idea, if they encountered a curse master, they would just kill him. But the government obviously felt that doing so was a bit inhumane...

"humane?"

Duanmu Huai sat on a chair, frowning and staring at the man in a suit in front of him.

"So it would be humane if they carried out another terrorist attack in Roppongi or Akihabara, right?"

"That's not what I meant, Miss Duanmu Ai."

Facing Duanmu Huai's complaints, the latter also smiled bitterly. After the war was over, the next logical thing was to divide the spoils. Duanmu Huai caught the ruling party off guard through the opposition members he contacted, and forced them to give up most of their power. This made the ruling party's monopoly in the parliament disappear, and it was replaced by a confrontation between the two powers.

Of course, for a country, this kind of internal confrontation will consume national strength and make many policies impossible to pass.

But...what does this have to do with Duanmu Huai?

He is not Japanese, so what does Japan's life or death have to do with him? Even if Japan becomes Balkanized, it has nothing to do with him.

Saving people is one thing, but it doesn't mean I will be responsible for your family's political affairs.

It is the prerogative of the judge to parachute in, mess things up, and then walk away. As for how the local government will clean up the mess, what does it have to do with him?

"Although we can indeed issue an arrest warrant for the curse master on the grounds of arresting a cult member and take action against him, you also know that it is very difficult to sentence a curse master to death..."

“So we don’t need to go to this point.”

Duanmuhuai waved his hand.

"Why don't we just follow the American example? We arrest them and then we have to shoot them dead. Seriously, do you really think it's a good thing to let those curse masters who have killed people live? Aren't you afraid that they will draw circles and curse you in prison? That could really kill you."

"So Miss Duanmu Ai, you will be in charge of this department..."

"I'm a high school student and I haven't graduated yet. Don't think of taking the blame on me."

Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes.

"You can coordinate among yourselves, or find an obedient sorcerer to take the blame. I'm not interested in being a civil servant. I'd rather continue to be an actor, which is a very promising job."

"Then can we entrust you as a special consultant to the department?"

"Okay, just don't put my name on it."

Political spoils are divided like this, everyone shares the benefits and bears the risks together. Now that the faction supported by Duanmu Huai has become bigger in the cabinet, it is natural that all his supporters must be put in. When the time comes, everyone will make money together and die together. Especially Duanmu Huai - he played a great role in this operation. If it weren't for Duanmu Huai's great fame and her young age, she would definitely be given a position like the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Duanmu Huai certainly knew that this group of people had no good intentions. After all, if something like the Shibuya Incident happened again, he would be the one to take the blame. He would have to be stupid to agree to the demands of this group of people.

Although now with the death of Tianyuan, the barrier of the whole of Japan has collapsed, the connection with the subspace has weakened, and the strength of those curse masters has greatly decreased. But who knows if this group of people will jump off the wall and create some collective harm incidents, then won’t they have to hold themselves accountable?

He has no interest in getting entangled in such political struggles.

Finally, Duanmu Huai and the government representatives discussed for a long time and set a limit: those who did not kill anyone could be detained directly without trial. However, those who killed people could not be kept alive and had to be killed.

As for the scapegoat, they said they would talk to the sorcerers and then find someone they like. Duanmu Huai could only wish them good luck.

Ordinary people outside were unaware of this internal political deal. For Kurokawa Akane and Ruby, the biggest impact was that their public activities during this period were reduced. This was understandable, because the authorities had already announced that the "remnants" of the Panxing Cult were still on the run, and they were trying to catch these dangerous elements as soon as possible.

If we hold a LIVE or large-scale event at this time, if the other party comes to the venue and plays a loud music, we will be doomed.

Therefore, during this period, various public places and entertainment facilities have invariably strengthened security, and some large-scale events that were originally scheduled to be held during Christmas and New Year have also been cancelled - the reason is very good, it is to mourn the innocent people who died in the Shibuya attack.

Because of this, there are fewer entertainment programs recently. The good thing is that the artists who should have been busy during this period of time can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

People like Sakurajima Mai, Kurokawa Akane and Ruby should have been very busy at this time, but now these announcements have basically been cancelled and everyone is staying at home to rest.

Judging from this, this atmosphere may continue until after the New Year.

Compared with the artists who rarely have time to relax, Duanmu Huai, who is usually relaxed and at ease, is now busy.

In the past, apart from filming and going to school, Duanmu Huai's daily life was eating, watching TV, and playing with his phone. But now, Ruby has become the one who experiences his daily life, while Duanmu Huai goes out directly after breakfast every day and does not come back until the evening, just like an office worker who works from nine to eight.

From this we can see that no money is earned in vain.

It's the same today.

"I am back."

Duanmu Huai pushed open the door and greeted weakly. Then footsteps were heard. Then Kurokawa Akane walked over with small steps and looked at Duanmu Huai with a smile on his face.

"You're back, Xiao Ai, do you want to take a shower or eat first?"

"Let's take a shower. I'm so tired after running all day..."

Duanmuhuai waved his hand.

"Is Mai cooking today?" "Yes, I've already prepared the hot water."

"Thanks a lot………"

Since Kurokawa Akane moved next door to Duanmu Huai, the two would come to Duanmu Huai's house every day. In the morning, they would wake Duanmu Huai and Ruby up, and at night, they would go back to their own house after dinner. To be honest, Duanmu Huai felt that it was a complete waste for the two to buy this house, because it was useless except for sleeping.

By the way, for convenience, Duanmu Huai directly gave the keys to his house to the two of them, so they can come whenever they want.

If Duanmu Huai's house wasn't a typical three-bedroom, one-living-room house with no extra guest rooms, the two of them might not have gone home and slept here at night.

By the way, for Duanmu Huai and Ruby, they are both in pain and happy.

Happiness is actually easy to understand. Duanmu Huai is too lazy to cook, and Ruby wants to learn, but she is too busy with her idol work to have time, so before Sakurajima Mai, the two of them basically lived on takeout and restaurants. After all, Duanmu Huai is an actor, and Ruby is also an idol. They are not short of money. As long as they want to eat, they can eat any Western, Chinese, Spanish, Indian, and Brazilian food. Sometimes they even invented a random selection method, which is to randomly select a restaurant from the mobile phone and eat at the one they click.

Well, I can only say that people who can’t cook are good at playing.

Later, Sakurajima Mai and Kurokawa Akane came, and Duanmu Huai and Ruby’s good days were...over.

This is not to say that the food they cook is bad. Whether it is Mai Sakurajima or Akane Kurokawa, their cooking skills are first-class. Although it is not up to the standard of Michelin chefs, it is already delicious according to Duanmu Huai and Ruby's food concepts.

At first, the two of them were very innocent and just praised the food they cooked.

So, the nightmare began.

If Duanmu Huai and Ruby praised Kurokawa Akane for his good performance today, they would have to face a big meal from Sakurajima Mai tomorrow.

If they praise Mai Sakurajima for doing a good job, then the day after tomorrow Akane Kurokawa will do double the praise.

Although Duanmu Huai and Ruby had no idea what the two were competing against each other, they were the ones who were unlucky!

After a few times, they learned their lesson and only said it was delicious. They would no longer praise it too much - that would go against their own stomachs.

"call……………"

Lying in the bathtub, Duanmu Huai took a breath.

He had been very busy recently. As Duanmu Huai had expected, the curse masters began to act quickly. Because Tianyuan and the barrier were the top secrets in the curse world, only a very small number of curse masters knew about it. The radiation effects of Tianyuan were only known to the curse high school students who were with Duanmu Huai at the time and the three special curse masters.

Therefore, when these curse masters discovered that their power had inexplicably weakened, their first reaction was to find ways to strengthen their power!

The simplest and most direct way is to kill people!

For a time, news of an increase in reports of missing persons or accidental deaths came from all over the country.

Duanmu Huai was naturally prepared for this. He immediately asked the local sorcerer to investigate the matter. Once the sorcerer was found, he would be killed without mercy!

By the way, the new curse organization is divided into the front-line group and the logistics group. The logistics group is basically still headed by auxiliary supervisors, but their duties have changed from prior reconnaissance to post-event processing - after all, if the enemy is a curser, auxiliary supervisors without combat effectiveness are meaningless.

So now it becomes that the Curse Master investigates, then fights the Curse Master and kills him. Then the logistics team led by the auxiliary supervisor will appear after that, dispose of the Curse Master's body and list him as "missing".

Although the power of the cursers has been greatly weakened now, the same is true for the sorcerers.

As a result, the previous decisive battle between masters on the top of the Forbidden City turned into a fight between noobs, which was equally painful.

After all, the skills that a level 10 character possesses are completely different from those of a level 60 character.

For the sorcerer and the curse caster, it was like a level 60 player controlling a level 10 character in the arena. It was a painful experience. The damage value was reduced from five digits to two digits, which was basically the same as wiping blood.

Fortunately, compared to the Curser, the Sorcerer has a trump card!

That’s Duanmu Huai!

So Duanmu Huai was in bad luck and had to put out fires everywhere during this period. Fortunately, he was strong enough and could defeat any enemy with one sword. Otherwise, who knows what would have happened.

"But it's almost the same now."

Duanmu Huai stretched his arms to relieve his fatigue. Although the number of incidents has increased significantly during this period, everyone is aware of the cult members causing trouble everywhere, so they are quite vigilant. Of course, it's not that no one complained, but with so many people dying in Shibuya, they really didn't dare to say too much.

Fortunately, the number of cases involving curse masters has been decreasing in recent times. It seems that most of the curse masters have been dealt with, and the remaining ones are nothing to be afraid of.

Then, you can deal with the most important issue yourself.

Duanmu Huai had received a call from director Shimizu before. According to the arrangement, it can be confirmed that the film will be released worldwide during the summer vacation next year.

In other words, the day when I completely destroy that subspace is not far away!

What will happen to me after this?

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

Could it be... that... I really have to stay here for a thousand years as the GM said?

There’s no end to this!

Never mind, we’ll know when the time comes.

Duanmu Huai always put aside the troubles that could not be solved. At this moment, the voice of Kurokawa Akane was heard from outside.

"Xiao Ai, it's time to eat soon."

"Know it."

Duanmu Huai responded and stood up.

To paraphrase Yanami, now that things have come to this, let’s eat first!
