Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Terada Tatsugoro stared at the glass jar, blinking several times. "Don't tell me I'm going to crawl into the jar?"

"We need to go inside, since the warehouse is very dusty, while the glass jars are cleaner."

Although Fang Rui had a way to prevent dust from getting on Terada Tatsugoro, he would of course use an easier way to save energy!

"Alright then." Terada Tatsugoro did not refuse and decisively took action, crawling into the glass jar.

"What's next? What should I do?"

"Stay quiet, I'll handle the rest." Fang Rui sealed the mouth of the glass jar, then began to use his Dual Hands to read the soul's information, and then used the Dragon Vein Energy to reshape Terada Tatsugoro's body.

Considering the unique nature of dragon vein energy, after the physical reconstruction is completed, the residual energy in Terada Tatsugoro's body must be cleared, while the excessive life energy must be absorbed to control his life energy at a normal level.

Otherwise, Terada Tatsugoro might become an enhanced version of the senior disciple...

The eldest disciple refers to Yoshida Shoyo's first disciple, a person named "Oboro," who was modified by Yoshida Shoyo's blood, temporarily enhancing his regenerative abilities.

With Fang Rui's intervention, Terada Tatsugoro will not experience that situation; his physique will be the same as that of an ordinary person.

Half an hour later, Fang Rui threw a set of clothes into the glass jar.

"Change your clothes, I'll wait for you outside the warehouse."

With that, Fang Rui turned and left the warehouse. The results of this experiment on the effectiveness of the dragon vein energy were quite surprising. Perhaps because the level was high enough, he was able to control the dragon vein energy smoothly without any obstacles.

At the same time, the application range of dragon vein energy is quite wide, and the efficiency of reshaping the physical body is a bit too fast, as if it were experienced.

Thinking about the scene in the story where a certain Mr. Xu was beaten up and then regenerated several times in a short period of time, and considering the scenes of Xu being persecuted in his past life, it's no wonder that he has a lot of experience with dragon vein energy.

"We need to observe this further. After all, this is the first time I've used dragon vein energy to reshape someone's body, and I'm not sure if there will be any side effects."

As Fang Rui muttered to himself, Terada Tatsugoro walked out of the warehouse.

"Mr. Fang Rui, what are our next steps?"

Although Terada Tatsugoro really wanted to stroll around Kabukicho for a while and also meet with Domizu Jirocho and Terada Ayano, he knew that he was able to walk in the world again thanks to Fang Rui, so he did not act rashly. Instead, he went to Fang Rui's side and asked for his opinion.

"There's a dinner party tonight at 8 PM, which I'm hosting. Terada Ayano and Domizu Jirocho are among the attendees."

Upon hearing Fang Rui's words, Terada Tatsugoro understood what he meant. There was no need to rush the meeting; they could surprise the two of them during the dinner.

So now...

Take a stroll through Kabukicho and see if there are any differences between Kabukicho today and Kabukicho in the past.

"You lead the way!" Fang Rui said. He knew very little about Kabukicho, and didn't even know how big it was.

“Okay!” Even though he hadn’t been back to Kabukicho for a long time, Terada Tatsugoro’s tone was still full of confidence.

Walking along the street, the two soon returned to the main street of Kabukicho. As a famous street for eating, drinking and having fun, Kabukicho covers a large area and has many branch streets.

"It's very different from the Kabukicho I remember."

Looking at the pedestrians on the street, Terada Tatsugoro looked somewhat disappointed. In his memory, there weren't so many aliens in Kabukicho.

There aren't that many electrical appliances and cars either...

"The gap is indeed very obvious," Fang Rui agreed, because the technological explosion brought about by the alien invasion had brought about earth-shattering changes in just a few decades...

"Was the war to expel the barbarians unsuccessful?" Terada Tatsugoro asked.

Upon hearing this, Fang Rui was slightly surprised. After becoming a ghost, hadn't Terada Tatsugoro tried to find out any information?

Upon closer reflection, it's likely due to a lack of opportunity to gather information. Generally, ghosts don't live in groups, with a few exceptions, and only a minority of people can see ghosts. Therefore...

It's perfectly normal that Terada Tatsugoro is completely unaware of the current situation.

"It didn't work; the shogunate surrendered too quickly," Fang Rui explained simply.

If the shogunate had not surrendered, the anti-foreign war might have lasted longer. After all, the Tendoushu were trying to obtain the dragon vein, so they could not use weapons with excessive destructive power and could only choose conventional fighting methods.

"Is that so..." Terada Tatsugoro looked slightly bewildered, but a few minutes later, the bewilderment disappeared completely. When the Joui War broke out, most of the samurai went to the battlefield voluntarily, not by order of the shogunate.

Therefore, his sense of loss and confusion did not last long.

"How is your life these days?" Terada Tatsugoro was more concerned about Terada Ayano's living situation than about anything else.

"It's relatively stable! Some of the Celestials who were once participants in the war have become a bit arrogant, but not excessively so, since the war has ended."

"The remaining celestial beings are a mix of good and bad, and the current shogunate is able to maintain stability."

Terada Tatsugoro nodded slightly, having gained a preliminary understanding of the current situation. A clearer understanding required confirmation from others, and Muddy Water Jirocho and Terada Ayano were good choices.

After catching up, you can ask for relevant information.

The two continued on their way. Terada Tatsugoro continued to survey Kabukicho. Apart from the aliens and technological products, everything else about Kabukicho matched his impression of the place: pedestrians who would fight at the drop of a hat...

Later, the two arrived at a shop run by another "Heavenly King," namely Saigo Tokusei's shop—the Ladyboy Club.

"Hmm! Strange name, is it a shop run by aliens?" Terada Tatsugoro said.

"No, it's a shop run by ordinary humans."

Fang Rui explained for a moment, then pushed open the shop door and entered the shop with Terada Tatsugoro.

"Wow!" Terada Tatsugoro was so startled by the sight of the store that he took a step back, his expression slightly distorted.

The scene inside the shop could only be described as chaotic and horrific. Terada Tatsugoro, who was seeing such a sight for the first time, was filled with horror.

"What's going on?" he managed to utter a few words.

"Hmm... a brilliant idea?" Fang Rui couldn't find the right words to explain.

"No, I think it's weird!" Terada Tatsugoro retorted.

“Okay! It is a bit…” Fang Rui didn’t say anything against his conscience and nodded in agreement.

Saigo Tokumori, who was standing nearby, heard the conversation between the two and was already somewhat angry. He walked aggressively toward the two men, ready to beat them up.

But when he got a little closer, he realized that someone looked familiar.

Terada Tatsugoro was quite famous in Kabukicho, and he had a very good personality; everyone who met him would remember him…

Saigo Tokumori, who had met Terada Tatsugoro before, was quite surprised to see him again.

'What's going on? Is it someone who looks similar? But...'

'They look so alike! It's like they're the same person!'

Noticing Saigo Tokumori's gaze, Terada Tatsugoro turned his head to look at him.

Chapter 559 Dinner Party

"You are……"

Despite the striking resemblance, Saigo Tokumori did not believe that this person was Terada Tatsugoro. Even if the other person were still alive, he would not look like this.

“I am Terada Tatsugoro, and you…” Terada Tatsugoro looked at Saigo Tokumori, “You look somewhat familiar.”

Upon hearing this, Saigo Tokumori said nothing, but looked Terada Tatsugoro more intently, his expression seemingly somewhat dazed.

Unaware of Saigo Tokumori's true thoughts, Fang Rui fabricated a lie, "Mr. Saigo, you must know that technology is full of possibilities. If there were a technology that could sustain a patient's life and slowly heal their injuries, but with the only drawback being that the patient would need to wake up naturally, what would you think?"

Saigo Tokusei remained silent. He knew that the technological products Fang Rui mentioned were very likely to exist. After all, with so many aliens, wouldn't it be a problem if one or two had advanced technology?

Of course there's no problem. In fact, Saigo Tessei had heard of similar technological products before.

"So that means he is the real person?" Saigo Tokumori's lips twitched a few times, a feeling he couldn't quite describe.

"Yes." Fang Rui nodded slightly, indicating that you guessed correctly.

Some things need to be kept secret, and using a well-timed lie to cover them up is a very appropriate choice.

"Welcome...back." After a moment of silence, Saigo Tokumori said this, pausing briefly, perhaps because he felt something was amiss.

Saigo Tokumori knew relatively little about Terada Tatsugoro, and it was more appropriate to leave the matter of verifying the truth to Domizu Jirocho and Otose. Therefore, he did not dwell on the matter and instead inquired about the purpose of the two men's visit.

The ladyboy club is relatively quiet, and not many people are willing to come here. These two don't seem like the type to come here.

"I was just passing by and got a little curious, so I came in to take a look," Fang Rui explained.

Saigo Tokumori nodded slightly, said nothing, and turned to leave.

His relationship with Terada Tatsugoro was very ordinary; they were just acquaintances.

Her relationship with Fang Rui was completely unfamiliar.

Therefore, the idea of ​​"treating someone to a meal" is naturally out of the question.

After observing the layout of the club and the strangely dressed people for a while, the two lost interest in staying any longer and immediately left the club to go elsewhere...

After some time, night fell, and the two did not continue to wander around, but went to a barbecue restaurant.

After entering the restaurant, Fang Rui exchanged a brief conversation with the waiter before heading to the private room…

Since there are quite a few people attending the dinner, it would be more appropriate to have it in a private room, where conversations can be more relaxed.

After informing Sakata Gintoki and the others about the private room via email, Fang Rui didn't pay any attention to anything else. Instead, he communicated with other people via email.

He obtained information about the Tenshoin "Naraku" from Sasaki Isaburo. According to the information he collected, "Naraku" has not taken any action recently. Only some members are protecting certain people, such as the loyal dog of the Tensho-shu, the previous shogun Tokugawa Sadasada.

Therefore, it is impossible to eliminate the opponent using conventional assassination methods.

After all, Naraku is an assassination organization, and a very long-established one at that. To attempt an assassination in front of them would be like showing off one's limited skills before an expert.

Moreover, Tokugawa Sadasada knew he had offended many people, so he was quite vigilant and took all the necessary precautions.

In other words, the sniper plan that Fang Rui had previously suggested was already among the top priorities in their minds.

However, we are not fully prepared yet and cannot deal with Tokugawa Sadamitsu, otherwise it will attract the attention of the Tendoushu and lead to their intervention...

Fang Rui: You guys are so slow!

Sasaki Isaburo: We can't openly recruit soldiers; there are spies from the Tendou Clan everywhere.

Fang Rui: Okay!

Fang Rui was aware of the difficulties faced by Tokugawa Shigeshige and others. They knew who their spies were but were unable to eliminate them, which was quite troublesome.

How are preparations progressing in other areas?

Fang Rui continued to ask questions. According to the information mentioned in the original work, the time span from the gathering of the Yorozuya trio to the outbreak of the war was not long, probably around three years.

The preparation time left for Sakata Gintoki and others is very short. In fact, most events in the story are sudden and there is no time to prepare at all.

"Progress is slow."
