Genshin Impact, but the chat group

"What do you mean?"

Ishigaki couldn't quite understand.

"Shokan, does this gentleman mean that since everything Tendo Kikunojo has done is just a show, then we don't need to get involved at all, we can just watch and see this farce end?"

As the boss, Mishima immediately understood what Li Yue meant.

"You were half right."

"half?"

“We will indeed watch this farce unfold, but not as it ends, but as it reaches an irreversible point under Kikunojo Tendo’s influence.”

"this..."

Mishima was shocked. Was it not Kikunojo Tendo who wanted to destroy Tokyo, but Li Yue in front of him?

"If Kikunojo Tendo wants to summon the LV5 Zodiac, then let him summon it. However, after it is summoned, I will render all his attempts to stop or kill the Zodiac ineffective, and I will let everyone know that Kikunojo Tendo and Kagetane Hiruko are working together to destroy Tokyo."

"I see, so that's Mr. Li Yue's plan!"

Senju Natsuyo understood Li Yue's true purpose.

Li Yue had previously mentioned in the chat group that she wanted to conquer this world. So, what's the simplest and most convenient way to conquer this world?

Besides Li Yue's immense power, especially the group of gods behind him.

And then there's the matter of people's hearts.

If the people of Tokyo knew that Kikunojo Tendo had teamed up with an assassin to destroy Tokyo, would they still be willing to let him rule? Wouldn't that be like putting their heads on the line, risking their lives at any moment? At that point, Tokyo would definitely no longer want to be ruled by Kikunojo Tendo.

When that time comes, if Li Yue and his group kill the Level 5 Zodiac, they will be heroes of Tokyo. Not only will they be able to conquer Tokyo, but they could even kick the Emperor off the throne and become the boss themselves.

Moreover, Li Yue never intended for the Holy Emperor to be the leader. It would be much better for a saintly young girl to honestly run an orphanage, rather than become a leader.

In this way, Tokyo was saved, the old rulers were eliminated, and everyone left behind belonged to the new boss!

"Zhongli, what do you think of doing this?"

"From a purely rational standpoint, this is the easiest way for us to take over the city!"

Zhongli agreed without hesitation. As for the life and death of the humans in this world, sorry, that was not Zhongli's concern.

Although Zhongli is a demon god with the setting of loving the world, unfortunately, in Teyvat, people from other countries are less important to Zhongli, let alone people from other worlds, who are not even on Zhongli's list of loved ones!

404. Stealing the Cursed Children

Because Li Yue explained all the main reasons for the timing of this operation in the Tokyo area, the Mishima Royal Police Company did not send a police team to participate in the Seven Star Heritage Retrieval Mission.

This made his colleagues curious: why didn't you take action on such a high-reward mission that concerned the safety of the entire Tokyo?

After all, we all eat in Tokyo; if Tokyo collapses, we all collapse.

But curiosity aside, they didn't have time to worry about Mishima and his group now. Almost all the police companies in Tokyo, even small ones like Tendo Kisara, had been mobilized to search for the lost Seven Stars Heritage in the Gastrea-infested forests outside the Tokyo area.

Meanwhile, Hiruko Kagetane, who had been hired by Tendo Kikunojo, was also searching in the forest. However, for Hiruko Kagetane, this dangerous forest was as simple as a weekend trip to the countryside.

The police officers had to fight against the ever-present threat in the forest, search for the lost Seven Stars Legacy, and guard against Hiruko Kagetane, who could appear from anywhere at any time.

Despite deploying a large number of personnel, the result was heavy casualties. This is because the more people there were, the more easily they attracted Gastrea to gather, and once the Gastrea gathered, the police were absolutely no match for their numbers.

While the battle raged below, Li Yue used wind elements to fly from above, and at the same time used her dream powers to create an illusion that made her invisible, thus watching the battle from the air.

"Wow, Li Yue, you're getting more and more skilled at using the wind."

A gust of wind blew by, and Wendy appeared beside Li Yue. Li Yue glanced at Wendy and smiled as she spoke.

"Weren't you drinking at Mishima's place? How come you have time to come out here?"

"As for alcohol, of course I'm drinking it; I just brought it with me."

As Wendy spoke, she revealed her right hand, which she had been hiding behind her back, and found herself holding a wine bottle.

"I heard from Mishima that this is imported brandy, and it's very expensive given the scarcity of resources!"

Because of Li Yue's and his group's identities and their plans, Mishima did not hesitate to choose to side with Li Yue.

A good bird chooses a good tree to perch on, and a good minister chooses a good lord to serve! My three islands also have a day when they want to climb higher!

From an ordinary businessman to the owner of the Mishima Royal Police Company, I, Mishima, can go even further!

So now, the Mishima Royal Police Company has become Li Yue and his team's base in Tokyo, and Wendy, without any hesitation, asked if there was any alcohol to drink as soon as she arrived at the Mishima company.

Mishima, without hesitation, brought out all the alcohol in the company for Wendy to drink.

Seeing how easily Wendy asked for wine, Zhongli directly asked for tea. Mishima happily brought out the tea leaves. Lei Yingdian and Fu Ningna then asked for dessert, and Mishima gave them whatever they wanted without any objection. If they didn't have any, he would just go out and buy it.

Li Yue wasn't interested in these things, so he came out to see how the battle was going in the forest. Wendy, who could fly, also came along to see what was happening.

"The situation is not good. There are too many monsters, and humans can't stop them at all."

Wendy sipped his drink while watching the battle unfold in the forest below and offering his commentary.

"The war between humans and Gastrea has never been easy; it has always been a Pyrrhic victory. However, the growth rate of humans is far lower than that of Gastrea. The number of Gastrea is simply too large. Even if one human were to be exchanged for one Gastrea, it would still be a huge loss."

Li Yue watched as the police force below began to suffer casualties, then raised her hand to gather wind elements.

As Li Yue activated her North Wind power, dark clouds began to appear in the sky, and the temperature began to drop. Li Yue tried her best to suppress the power of the ice element and only used the wind element, but the North Wind power itself is a combination of wind and ice, so the temperature inevitably began to drop.

The sky darkened as dark clouds gathered, making things even more difficult for the police officers battling Gastrea in the forest below. Diminished light meant their field of vision would be further reduced, leaving them with even less to see. Whether it was a Gastrea attack or an attack by Hiruko Kagetane, they would be even less able to cope.

But Li Yue did this intentionally, because the Holy Emperor of Tokyo and Kikunojo Tendo were using the only satellites available to monitor the battle situation here, and Li Yue deliberately prevented them from seeing it!

The clouds covered a vast area, completely obscuring the outskirts of Tokyo and even extending to dozens of kilometers of coastline near the city, rendering the entire region invisible to satellites.

"Then, we can begin."

Li Yue released her spiritual power, sensing the souls of everyone below and being able to determine each person's location.

Whenever a Promoter dies, Li Yue uses the wind to lift the remaining Promoters up and send them flying into the sky, just like when I first arrived in Mondstadt and was lifted into the sky by the wind.

However, unlike the master, these lolis that were swept up did not have wind wings.

Therefore, Li Yue did not intend to let them fly in the sky. After they came up, Li Yue directly drew the Yama Blade and cut out a portal, which led to the training ground of the Mishima Royal Police Company.

One by one, the little girls were swept up by Li Yue's wind and pulled into the sky, then sent through a portal to the training ground on the other side. However, no one on the ground knew this, because wind is the most normal thing in nature. The living people didn't have time to care about whether there was wind in the sky. Their attention was all focused on the darkness deep in the forest, since what was there could threaten their lives.

The police officers' first assault failed due to various factors. As night fell, the surviving officers had to temporarily retreat back to the Tokyo area, since spending the night in the forest was practically suicidal.

Although time is of the essence, this is only the first day, and you need to be alive to spend money even if you have it.

The first day's operation ended in failure. Many police officers from the police company died. Neither the promoters nor the initiators returned. Their absence and lack of contact meant death to them. The police company needed to recruit promoters again and then go to the international initiator monitoring organization to obtain new initiators, also known as the cursed children.

After taking away the bewildered children of the curse, Li Yue did not return to Tokyo, but instead flew directly towards the location of Hiruko Kagetane that he had sensed.

He wanted to have a brief conversation with Hiruko Kagetane so that Hiruko Kagetane could reveal that he was employed by Tendo Kikunojo. After all, it would be more interesting if there were witnesses and physical evidence.

405. The second-generation village chief's way of showing off was indeed quite impressive.

At night, Hiruko Kagetane, along with his daughter Kohina, ended his day of killing and returned to their temporary base.

Located in the ruins of a church by the sea, which was destroyed during the Gastrea War, the ruins are still well preserved and have a basic architectural framework. At least you can find shelter from the rain or wind here.

Moreover, inside the church, there is a silver-white metal box, which is exactly what the police officers outside are looking for: Qixing's legacy.

Little Hina, who possesses the mantis gastrovirus, stares at the box in front of her with great curiosity.

"Dad, should we open this?"

"Little Hina, do you want to open it?"

"I don't know, Daddy, do you want to open it?"

"Of course Dad will open it, but now is not the time to open it."

Hiruko Kagetane's yellow eyes beneath the mask smiled like the smiling eyes on the mask itself as he answered.

“If we open it now, a lot of people will come over soon, and that will make this interesting scene boring.”

"After all, I'm still hoping that our friend, Riken-kun, will come to visit us."

"That annoying rabbit?"

Kohina immediately thought of Aihara Enju, who was with Satomi Rentaro. Enju was a rabbit-type Gastrea virus carrier, so her legs were extremely strong, and she was good at long-range attacks and kicking people with her legs. Kohina, on the other hand, was a mantis type, and her arms were even stronger.

"That's right, it's Satomi-kun who's always accompanied by a rabbit."

Hiruko Kagetane is a madman, or rather, someone who wants to take revenge on the world. He was originally a police officer, ranked as high as 134th, which is quite a high ranking. He was also a member of the 787th Mechanized Special Unit of the Eastern Army of the Ground Self-Defense Force. This mechanized unit was the main force against the Antiguus before the Cursed Child was discovered.

Having been transformed into a cyborg, he originally intended to use the power he gained to fight against the Guts. However, not long after the mechanical army was born, the Cursed Child was discovered, and humanity began to choose to use the Cursed Child to fight against the Guts.

Firstly, the cost of creating a cursed child is extremely low, as capturing one requires almost no cost. Once the girls' eyes turn red, they are abandoned by their parents, who fear that their children might suddenly turn into Gastrea and kill them. This is especially true in a class-based society like Japan, where harboring a cursed child would result in being ostracized by those around them.

Secondly, the training of Cursed Children is extremely easy. All you need to do is capture those abandoned Cursed Children, put them in shackles, and subject them to brutal training. Even if they die during training, it doesn't matter at all. You can capture them again in the city's sewers, alleys, or the wilderness on the outskirts of the city to fill the gaps.

Later on, they could even artificially induce pregnant women to give birth to cursed children. Hiruko Kagetane's daughter, Kohina, was one such child they believed was born through manipulation of pregnant women.

The appearance of the Cursed Child caused the Mechanical Soldier Project to fail directly, because the cost of modifying a mechanical soldier was too high. Compared with the cost of cultivating the Cursed Child, it was incomparable. Moreover, although the upper and lower limits of the Cursed Child were very different, the upper limit was really high!

Therefore, the mechanical soldier unit was disbanded, and these mechanical soldiers were reassigned to become promoters, that is, police officers, and began to take the cursed children with them.

Hiruko Kagetane also became a police officer at this time, but he was still pursuing the survival value of mechanical soldiers, so he began to go crazy, craving to make the world chaotic.

Kikunojo Tendo found him and gave him the request to summon the Seven Stars. For him, it was the perfect request, so he agreed without hesitation!

Now, the legacy of the Seven Stars is in his hands. As per Kikunojo Tendo's request, he needs to open the box and summon the Zodiac. However, he is not in a hurry. He plans to wait until Rentaro Satomi, whom he highly regards, comes over before opening the box, so that the other party can also witness the legendary legacy of the Seven Stars.

"I should be able to see him tomorrow, right? The righteous Satomi-kun, hehehe~"

"You truly love Rentaro Satomi."

The sudden sound startled Hiruko Kagetane. He immediately turned his head and looked around, but found nothing. However, he had definitely heard the sound just now.

Am I hallucinating?

Hiruko Kagetane became puzzled.

"Impossible, I can't possibly be hallucinating."

“You are not hallucinating, because I am behind you.”

Hiruko Kagetane quickly turned around and found that Li Yue was already standing calmly with her arms crossed next to the Seven Stars Inheritance Box.

"How is that possible? Where did you come from?!"

Although the church is in ruins, the walls are still well preserved. To enter, one must go through the main entrance or jump in through the gap in the roof. However, both the main entrance and the gap in the roof are within Hiruko Kagetane's field of vision, so it should be impossible for him to enter.

"Of course, we came in through the main gate."
