Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

The other part is the Void Blood within the Heavenly Guides. Fang Rui doesn't yet know exactly how much power the Void Blood has, but it is certain that it can create illusions.

As the consciousness of the Celestial Guides was gradually eroded by the Blood of Emptiness, how could the secret possibly remain hidden?

"...Out of control? That's certainly possible!"

Upon hearing this, Mutsu pondered for a moment. He did not doubt Fang Rui's words, after all, the Heavenly Guides could indeed have their rule overthrown by the things he had done...

If the trigger for the war is an internal cause of the Celestial Guidance Cult, then it is indeed unstoppable.

"Alright! Since you know what you're doing, I'll grant your request for now. As for how much of what you said is true, I'll verify it."

While it's possible, it can't be guaranteed to be 100%, so Mutsu decided to test it out.

only……

After losing the intelligence network of the space pirate Chidori, Mutsu faces a significant challenge in verifying this matter, and it is unlikely that a conclusion can be reached in a short period of time.

"Go ahead and verify it." Fang Rui wasn't intimidated at all, after all, what he said was true.

After their conversation, the two returned to the tavern.

The group of people who had been eavesdropping rushed back into the tavern to ponder the content of Fang Rui and Mu Ao's conversation.

'War?'

Sakata Gintoki's expression was exceptionally serious. He hated war, after all, he had participated in wars and knew how brutal the battlefield was, with tragedies coming one after another...

'A war with a very wide reach? Very good…'

Takasugi Shinsuke, who originally wanted to start a war, was naturally extremely excited when he heard about a war with a very wide impact.

'Let me add fuel to the fire, so it burns even brighter!'

Sakamoto Tatsuma pondered for a while but couldn't think of a way to prevent the war from breaking out. Just as Fang Rui said, the Celestial Guides were an entity that they couldn't interfere with.

Moreover, they have a grudge against the Celestial Guides, and if the Celestial Guides were to disappear in the war, they would undoubtedly celebrate.

As for reminding the Heavenly Guides, that is impossible.

Since it cannot be stopped, we must consider how to protect ourselves in the war, such as increasing our own military strength...

Besides purchasing weapons, finding allies can also increase one's combat strength.

'When adventuring in interstellar space, be careful to see if you can find some allies.'

Sakamoto Tatsuma thought to himself, recalling his past experiences as people were eliminated one by one, and several others were added to the shortlist.

As for Gui, he had been preparing to start a war from the beginning. Hearing Fang Rui's speech, he was not surprised. However, the intelligence about the problems within the Tiandao Clan gave him some ideas. Could he seize the opportunity to give the Tiandao Clan a hard time?

Mutsu returned to the tavern and saw the serious-looking Sakamoto Tatsuma, Sakata Gintoki, and Katsura Kotaro, as well as the arrogantly smiling Takasugi Shinsuke. He tilted his head and thought for a while, unable to guess why they were acting this way, but then he remembered that these guys already had some issues...

Therefore, she didn't bother to investigate further, since these people were likely to give her an unexpected answer, and one that was quite abstract.

Through her interactions with Sakamoto Tatsuma, she had come to understand just how abstract he was. She believed that if he could be Sakamoto Tatsuma's companion, then Sakata Gintoki and the others would be just as abstract.

After all, birds of a feather flock together.

Fang Rui also saw the expressions on their faces, but he didn't say anything. Rather, it was as if Fang Rui already knew that they were eavesdropping from the beginning.

If it's not something particularly important, tell them it's okay.

Afterwards, the group did not linger there. After exchanging email addresses, they left the tavern.

Nowadays, Sakata Gintoki also has a cell phone, since Fang Rui usually tells him about his requests via email.

Back in Yoshihara Peach Blossom Village, Fang Rui received an email from Feng Xian informing him that Chun Yu had sent an investigation team.

"Shenwei, Shiling... there are so many..."

Fang Rui was somewhat surprised when he saw the email from Feng Xian. What was going on? How could there be so many people...?

In the story, Kamui came to Yoshiwara to test Housen, but now that Housen has been defeated, considering his reputation...

It seems quite normal that some people in the spring rain are interested in the person who defeated Fengxian.

only……

With so many people, it's a bit of a hassle for him to handle.

It's not that it's invincible, it's just that it's too much trouble.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Rui made a decision and prepared to ask a few people for help.

First, we can rule out people from the shogunate. Considering their status, they are not suitable to participate in this matter, even though some people in the shogunate are very capable fighters...

As for the remaining people, Sakata Gintoki and the others are suitable. If we ask them for help, they should accept.

Besides that, he could also try inviting some people he knew, such as Pi Nulu.

As the strongest member of the Chajini clan, his strength is also at the top level. However, since his consciousness is currently affected by the parasitic plant, it is unknown whether he will accept Fang Rui's invitation.

The Onmyoji family also has powerful shikigami. You can consult with Ketsuno Seimei. Although the Onmyoji also have connections with the Shogunate, the connections are not as close.

Let me think some more. Is there anyone else I can get to help?

If Umibozu can arrive in Yoshiwara before the war starts, Fang Rui believes he can ask for help. He thinks Umibozu would be willing to teach his son a lesson and let Kamui experience the power of a father's love.

Speaking of which, Miichi Oo is also very strong in combat, and her method of luring the opponent over is very simple.

If the Shogunate proposes a ban on the sale of laser cannons at the interstellar conference, some aliens will send him over.

'You can tell Tokugawa Shigeshige.'

Even if Miichi Oo wasn't sent before the war started, it wouldn't matter; she would still be useful if sent later.

After all, Omi is a cyborg, and his energy and weapon systems are quite advanced.

Oh, and we can also find ninjas...

The Oniwabanshu are a thing of the past; ninjas are now free to accept commissions...

Chapter 565 Advance Payment of Remuneration

Meanwhile, Spring Rain's survey force has left the base and, based on the warship's speed, will arrive here within three days.

That is to say...

"I have three days to prepare."

Sakata Gintoki and the others could be easily summoned because they needed his help. As for the Oniwabanshu, asking Tokugawa Shigeshige for a favor was no problem; with a little more effort from him, a deal could be easily reached...

Speaking of which, the previous leader of the Oniwabanshu is still alive at this time. Injecting him with a bit of weakened dragon vein energy will revitalize him, making him a high-level combatant.

In addition, the renowned ninja Jiraiya is also an option.

Hiring a Tera to help is simple, but the pay is a bit expensive.

As ideas began to surface in his mind, Fang Rui took out his phone, edited an email, and sent it to Tokugawa Shigehiro and the others.

His actions caused a slight ripple in Edo, but did not affect ordinary people.

“A request…” Sakata Gintoki and Kagura looked at each other for a moment and then nodded slightly.

Both of them had regrets they wanted to make up for, so naturally they wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.

As for Shinpachi Shimura, his strength is too weak to participate in the monster battle.

'I want to become stronger...'

Shinpachi Shimura clenched his fists. He, too, had regrets he wanted to make up for, but now the opportunity was right in front of him, and he couldn't seize it...

Rarely, Shimura Shinpachi yearned for strength.

In his temporary lodgings, Gui looked at the email sent by Fang Rui, closed his eyes and pondered for a while. When he opened his eyes again, he had already decided to participate in the competition.

'I hope Fang Rui will offer better compensation; I really want to…'

Leaving aside Sakata Gintoki and the others who received the email, the Oniwabanshu, who received Tokugawa Shigeshige's email instead of Fang Rui's, reunited after several years...

"Mao Mao, please ask us for help to participate in the competition held in Yoshiwara."

What are your thoughts on this matter?

The current Oniwabanshu and the current shogun have a good relationship and address each other by name. The current shogun has no objection, but the older generation of ninjas have different opinions.

"Pay attention to yourself, you must address him as 'General'!"

The previous leader of the Oniwabanshu, standing to the side, slapped Hattori Zenzo on the back of the head. However, Hattori Zenzo seemed to be prepared and dodged before the other party could make a move, so the slap missed him.

“What does it matter? Mao Mao didn’t say anything.”

"Ahem! Teacher, let's get down to business."

A female ninja stopped the father and son from playing around, saying, "If you want to joke around, wait until we finish our business before you play around."

“General, you won’t make us do useless things, so the tournament held in Yoshiwara must be very important,” said the ninja wearing round-framed glasses.

"But I haven't heard of any tournaments being held in Yoshiwara. Besides, no matter how you look at it, I feel that any tournament held in Yoshiwara is a bit shady..."

A muscular ninja said it wasn't that his thoughts were dirty, but rather that he naturally started to think inappropriately...

Upon hearing this, many ninjas nodded vigorously in agreement. They had similar thoughts when they saw the email, mainly concerning the location of the event, which could easily lead to misunderstandings.

Hattori Zenzo: "…………" Seriously, what are these people thinking?

"According to the intelligence I've gathered, Yoshiwara is undergoing modifications..." The previous ninja leader was quite reliable; he was already gathering intelligence when he received the email.

"Before the match begins, we should try our best to gather intelligence."

"Understood." Everyone nodded slightly in understanding, as intelligence is also quite important in war.

The next day, Fang Rui left Yoshiwara and headed to Kabukicho to find Piruro, inviting him to join the battle, which required his personal involvement...

After all, Piru is controlled by the parasitic plant, and all his thoughts are inclined towards the good order. Even in a life-or-death battle, Piru will still hold back at every turn.

We need to work on Piru's personality to make him more like an ordinary person. It would be good to use Sakata Gintoki as the benchmark. As someone who came out of the war, Sakata Gintoki knows very well the value of life and will not kill unless necessary.

Meanwhile, the letter Kagura sent was delivered to Umibozu. Umibozu did not own a private starship and, as the strongest monster hunter, he frequently traveled to various places to eliminate monsters. Therefore, some people in the transportation company knew him and were quite familiar with his location.

After all, Umibozu always travels to mission locations by public transportation.

'Kagura is looking for me, does she have something important to say?'

'What exactly happened? Why wasn't it clearly written down?'

Kamiya, who was originally searching for Kagura's whereabouts, was delighted to receive Kagura's letter. Without delving into the details, he boarded his starship and set off...
