My anime-style card deck is fine!

Everyone just watched helplessly as the enemy launched such a major operation.

But in the end, everyone was hoping that others would take action while they themselves remained indifferent and waited—everyone did this, and the final result was that no one stopped the incident!

"This isn't right! Even tofu pudding has its sweet vs. savory debates, how could such a major event affecting the entire city of Tokyo be passed so easily!"

To let the dead take the bodies of the living.

The person whose body is taken away then takes away the bodies of others, and so on in a continuous cycle—through the reincarnation ritual, a dueling nation where everyone is a card master is created!

Such a fanatical, twisted, and even inhumane plan deserves to be met with outrage!

Although Amon and the others were surprised by the plan, that was all they were surprised about.

Just as Goat Head thought, they were only trying to do what they could, but even if they failed, Amon and Wang Quan still believed that someone would stop them!

But the result is...

No!

Everyone watched as the echoes of history began to reverberate, but there was absolutely no resistance until the ritual was completed!

"Haven't I already made myself perfectly clear?"

The goat-headed man laughed and said, "[All conditions have been met] - No one knows the deep-seated flaws of this country better than us: shirking responsibility, corruption, incompetence, embezzlement... Those who are unwilling to take responsibility are high and mighty, and they always think others should go first when problems arise."

"They flock to any opportunity that presents them with benefits, but avoid any trouble they encounter."

"This is cherry blossom!"

Goat-head's voice was filled with melancholy. Although he was an American, there was a reason why he was chosen to participate in the Brave Team's plan—it was because of his deep bond with Sakura that he was selected!

He was a Jew born in a cherry blossom country!

Unable to accept the deep-seated ugliness of the country of Sakura, he eventually returned to the embrace of America, where he could start anew, grow, and learn... until he was sent back here by America again.

"How long do you think we've been preparing?" Goat-headed man didn't look at Amon and the others again.

At this point, their existence is no longer important.

"Fifty years..."

"Fifty years have passed like a dream, but in the end, we succeeded!"

The goat-headed creature opened its arms as if embracing something—fifty years had allowed the Brave Team, or rather the people behind the Brave Team, to delve into every aspect of Sakura.

An invisible influence is spreading.

The conspiracy, which had been in the works for fifty years, finally turned into a torrent of will, even affecting and shaking the collective consciousness of the entire Sakura community. An inexplicable feeling caused those who were about to take action to stop in their tracks.

That is—love!

A profound and obsessive love for cherry blossoms is etched into the collective spirit of the cherry blossom community.

This cycle continued for fifty years, influencing not only the younger generation but also the previous and even the generation before that.

The masses can influence collective consciousness through their own consciousness.

Similarly, collective consciousness can also interfere with individual consciousness; it is a process of mutual influence!

In the end, apart from foreigners, not a single card player in Sakura stepped forward to stop it, as if the entire country was orchestrating this conspiracy.

The only obstacle was that the gold card master from China had his attention diverted by the Americans, who were his allies.

Just as Goat Head said—everything is ready!

"Whoosh whoo ...

The world stopped turning backward.

Modern Tokyo, with its skyscrapers, has reverted to the backward town it was 79 years ago—people unaffected by this change stand blankly on the streets.

The once spacious streets became narrow, with crowds crammed into the narrow lanes.

Even those who intended to commit crimes eventually stopped after failing to achieve their goals in the constantly reversing flow of time, while Sese couldn't do the same because there were too many people around her.

During the long process of the flow reversed, the crowd eventually quieted down.

Quietly await the final result.

until……

A piercing alarm sounded!

That piercing sound seemed to drill into every cell of one's ear, causing one to tremble and panic involuntarily... Young people don't pay attention to history, but a certain fear etched into their DNA makes them subconsciously afraid.

Some elderly people still remember the voice and tremble with fear.

"What is this sound!"

Wang Ruochu covered her ears in pain; the sound was utterly unpleasant.

But it seemed to be filled with blood and fire, making people feel nauseous and disgusted. As a musician, she was physically averse to this sound!

However, others did not react as strongly as she did.

“It’s an air raid siren.” Wang Quan recognized the voice; he had experienced many of them in Africa. His face was grim. “Or rather, it’s the air raid siren from 79 years ago.”

"Wait! If they want to detonate the nuclear bomb, can't we stop them?"

Banxia, ​​who was also covering her ears, felt that she had come up with a good idea.

"It can't be done."

Huang Jie answered her, his face equally somber: "History is what has already happened—you can't stop something that has already happened."

……

Cherry blossoms, Imperial Palace.

Protected by the Golden Card Master, this area was not covered by [Hiroshima] and still retains the magnificent appearance of modern Tokyo—although the daimyo have long been despised by the people like toilet paper, they are still the core of Sakura politics.

Cherry blossoms need a mascot like this to be placed there.

Therefore, security here is extremely strict, and even the only gold-level card master in the Sakura Kingdom lives here year-round!

"This...this is...an air raid siren?!"

This elderly gold card master, who is almost unable to move, is still full of energy and is even handling matters related to the assassination attempt on the prime minister.

It was because of his appearance that Huaying University sent a Gold-level card master of equal caliber to step forward.

Before the assassination attempt on the prime minister was even resolved, this kind of thing suddenly happened!

He originally didn't intend to pay attention to it, after all, he was getting on in years, and if he wanted to live a long life, he should mind his own business—that had always been his motto.

Therefore, facing the echoes of history is simply opening up the spiritual realm.

Once the shelter is granted, the shelter will not take any further action.

Seeing this, and because of the leader's inaction, those who wanted to do something were also reluctant to overstep their bounds. In the end, the most elite group in all of Sakura simply remained inactive, letting the situation unfold as it would.

"Wait, what's that sound?!"

"what happened?!"

"Idiot! This is an air raid siren! Has the enemy broken in? I remember an American aircraft carrier was nearby a few days ago, didn't those Chinese guys manage to stop it?!"

"Damn it! We signed a mutual assistance agreement! This is a serious breach of contract!"

"An invasion by American troops?!"

"What are those people in China doing? What are they protecting?!"

"We can't be sure if this is an intrusion! Didn't that person from Huaying University already go to sea? Maybe it's just equipment malfunction or something..."

"Fool! The facts are right in front of you!"

"Huh? You're the idiot! This is Tokyo! How could there be any enemies here? Besides, the Americans are just passing by for military exercises. Why are you all in such a hurry!"

"Then how do you explain that voice? Come to think of it, your behavior lately has been a bit strange! Could it be that you—"

"What did you say! You're the one who's been behaving suspiciously...!!"

The scene erupted into chaos, and the purpose of the argument shifted from clarifying the cause to simply arguing with each other, and even to framing and slandering each other.

—We can't let the guys on the other side get their way!

This behavior was almost ingrained in their bones; they acted subconsciously, the process so smooth that they completely ignored the anomalies in Tokyo and the sound of air raid sirens.

Those things, there are other people who will handle them, aren't there?

Even if something serious happens...

In any case, all you need to do is bow and apologize. Just saying, "We could have done something back then, but it was too late," is enough.

The public is easily fooled.

"Shut up!"

The over 100-year-old Sakura Gold Card Master looked grim. The moment he heard the voice, he realized what it was—he had heard that voice himself 79 years ago!

This is the nightmare that has haunted him for 79 years.

In the dead of night, the memory of the nuclear attack from the United States echoes in his ears—it is precisely because he personally experienced the nuclear attack from the United States that he is the only Gold Card Master who stayed in Sakura and was not forcibly immigrated to the United States!

The people around quieted down.

Although Master Ka doesn't interfere, punching power is punching power!

The old card master's power was real, and his seniority and experience were top-notch. No one dared to speak when the old card master opened his mouth.

"That voice, that voice..."

The elderly cardholder wanted to do something, but a deep-seated fear made it difficult for him to even speak.

and……

Even if you wanted to do something, it was too late!

Just like the scene he had witnessed in Hiroshima, the old master once again watched the sky as a plane roared past with a whooshing sound, and a familiar yet unfamiliar black dot fell from the sky.

At that moment, the world seemed to turn black and white.

Some force seemed to grab his heart, and then suddenly release it, causing his heart, which had long been failing due to old age, to beat wildly and violently!
