In the following period, some chaos broke out in Tokyo. The authorities had no means to control the sudden chaos. Some mysterious "experts" even engaged in conflicts in public, which posed a huge challenge to the public safety and order of the entire society.
This completely exposed the chaos to the public. The truth couldn't be hidden forever, and faced with this situation, the Japanese authorities had no other recourse but to bow in resignation. It wasn't that the Japanese authorities hadn't tried to control the situation, but they encountered resistance from all sides, either through direct violent resistance or various economic and political entanglements, leaving the Japanese authorities feeling mired in a quagmire.
After all, Tokyo is the capital of Japan, a densely populated city with many "pots and pans." The police officers responsible for security duties are caught in a manpower shortage and overtime hell.
Amidst these increasingly chaotic days, a new guest arrived at Chunyuan Manor.
Li Wei, who was watering the flowers in the courtyard, suddenly heard a slightly childish voice.
"Um... sir, is this Chun Yuan Manor?"
Li Wei looked up towards the doorway. Outside the iron gate stood a boy who was less than 1.4 meters tall and looked very delicate. His facial features were so soft that he could easily be mistaken for a girl.
Li Wei turned off the tap, walked to the iron gate, and calmly opened it, saying, "This is Chun Yuan Manor. You're the new guest Ayaka mentioned who booked a room for the next couple of days? Your name is Shiina Aki, right?"
"Yes, I am Shiina Aki," the boy said nervously.
When Shiina Aki saw Li Wei, she felt nervous but also a little envious. Li Wei's tall stature and solid muscles exuded a masculine power that was something the delicate-looking Shiina Aki longed for.
Because of his overly delicate appearance and the fact that his older sister had treated him like a girl for a long time, requiring him to wear skirts and other girly clothes, Shiina Aki had become very effeminate. In order to change this situation, he chose to run away from his family and come to Tokyo, wanting to get away from his sister.
He felt that in this environment, without his sister's interference, he could quickly regain his masculine demeanor, instead of always being mistaken for a girl by people like he is now.
Li Wei frowned slightly and asked, "A boy?"
Shiina Aki nodded cautiously.
Li Wei said, "If you hadn't admitted it, I would have thought you were a girl. Your hair is so long and so delicate, you look no different from a girl. Let me introduce myself, my name is Li Wei, and I am the dormitory manager of Chun Yuan Zhuang, in charge of managing male students."
Originally, because Haruhara-sou only had Haruhara Ayaka as the manager, she was in charge of all the residents, regardless of gender. Now, with the arrival of Li Wei, the responsibility for the male residents has been handed over to him. After all, gender differences can sometimes lead to awkward situations, and Li Wei's arrival can help avoid such awkwardness.
Li Wei said, "Come with me to register. I already prepared your room yesterday. Except for a few personal items, most things in the room are complete, so you don't need to prepare anything else. If you need anything, just come to me, and I will do my best to help you."
Li Wei spoke sweetly, but in his heart he was already thinking about how to deal with Shiina Aki. To be honest, he felt a little uncomfortable just by looking at Shiina Aki for the first time. As a man, Shiina Aki had no masculinity at all. He was as effeminate as a transvestite from a transvestite country. In particular, even his movements were very feminine. He even walked in a way that was more feminine than a woman. This made Li Wei's skin crawl.
It's not a problem if someone is born with a feminine appearance; there have been great men with gentle features throughout history. But this kind of femininity that emanates from the depths of one's heart, which can even be described as a distortion to the point of demasculinization, is what Li Wei disliked the most.
"Okay, thank you for your help." Shiina Aki followed behind Li Wei.
Li Wei led Shiina Aki to the living room, pulled a form from a drawer under the low table, and placed it in front of Shiina Aki.
Li Wei said, "Fill out this form. I need to understand your specific situation, including your daily routine and lifestyle."
Shiina Aki hesitated for a moment and said, "If it involves privacy, should I fill it out or not?"
Li Wei said, "There are no privacy-related questions on the form, at least not for ordinary people. If you feel that some of the questions violate your privacy, you can leave those questions unfilled. Everyone has their own privacy concerns, and I can understand that."
At this moment, Li Wei was already using his mind-reading ability to scan Shiina Aki's mind. This little boy was not as honest as he seemed. Although he was not a bad person, he had all sorts of problems.
What impressed him most was the high rate of sex education in Japan. Generally speaking, anyone who has attended elementary school will learn about various gender-related topics during their elementary school years. The quirky ideas that Shiina Aki had in her head were things that her peers in China could never even imagine.
Shiina Aki glanced at the form; it contained only very ordinary questions, mostly about food preferences and lifestyle habits, along with some notes about the situation at Haruhara-so, asking if he could accept it. Shiina Aki thought this was a good idea; asking any questions in advance could avoid awkward situations later on.
Li Wei picked up the completed form, quickly glanced at it, and said, "Young man, you're a bit picky about food. You don't like green peppers, carrots, bitter melons, or bean sprouts, and you also don't like pork. Being too picky about food will hinder your growth."
Shiina Aki's face immediately fell, and she said, "But the taste of these things is really unbearable, especially the green peppers and bitter melon, they are too bitter."
In Japan, green peppers are typically cooked by boiling, which differs from the culinary style in Japan. Because this method doesn't eliminate the bitterness of the peppers, many Japanese children dislike them. As for bitter melon, Li Wei can understand, since many children in Japan also dislike it, even though it's very cooling in summer. Children don't care about that; they only know it tastes bad.
Chapter 44. Li the Great Deceiver
Li Wei went to the kitchen, took out a large bottle of iced cola from the refrigerator, poured a glass for himself and the other person, and then sat down.
Li Wei said, "I'm a little curious why you would choose to come to Tokyo at this time. Tokyo hasn't been very peaceful lately."
Shiina Aki looked puzzled and asked, "Has something happened in Tokyo?"
Shiina Aki genuinely had no idea what was going on here. He had seen some news about Tokyo online, but in order to stay away from his family, he would come here no matter what problems arose in Tokyo.
Li Wei said, "The security situation in Tokyo has been quite bad lately, with all sorts of serious incidents happening one after another. If you come to Tokyo to study at this time, you might not even be able to guarantee your personal safety if you're unlucky."
Shiina Aki said, "Could it be a cult carrying out a terrorist attack?"
When it comes to instability, the first thing that comes to Shiina Aki's mind is cults. Both Japan and South Korea, separated by the sea, are countries rife with cults. The destruction caused by cults is shocking to everyone.
During this period, he did see some information online, but the fragmented information online differed from the truth. People outside of Tokyo could hardly perceive this; only those who stayed in Tokyo for a long time could understand what had happened.
Li Wei sighed and said, "If it were just a problem with cults, the authorities would have already brought the situation under control. The problems Tokyo is facing this time are far more serious than a minor issue like cults. In this situation, those cults are all behaving themselves, afraid of being dragged into the chaos."
Li Wei's words surprised Shiina Aki. In his mind, cult members were lawless and capable of anything in a moment of madness. This time, even the most lawless cult members were afraid. He wondered what terrifying thing had happened in Tokyo.
Li Wei said, "I suppose I'm also an insider in this matter, so I'll just tell you the answer directly. Anyway, no one would believe me if I told them."
Shiina Aki sat even more upright, her expression serious, and said, "I would like to hear the details."
Li Wei said, "A treasure capable of changing the world's situation has fallen into Tokyo. Ambitious people from all over the world have turned their attention here and sent their forces to Tokyo to seize the treasure. The reason why so many mysterious people have clashed in Tokyo recently is because they are fighting for this treasure. Although the whereabouts of the treasure are still unknown, they will not give up any opportunity to strike at their rivals in order to eliminate potential competitors. Ambitious people don't care about the lives of ordinary people, which is why there have been so many violent incidents in Tokyo recently, to the point that even local cults have gone into hiding, fearing that they will be caught in the crossfire."
After a long period of fermentation, this matter has become known to many people, including the powerful and wealthy in Japan. After learning that the three copies of Qin's Secret Manual could grant immortality, immense power, and boundless wisdom, the powerful and wealthy in Japan also became fanatical and participated in the dispute deliberately provoked by Li Wei.
A lie repeated a thousand times becomes the truth. With Li Wei's puppet clones repeatedly asserting their presence and vying for the whereabouts of the Qin Secret Manual, all the original outsiders now believe that such a wondrous book truly exists. The abilities displayed by the various forces formed by Li Wei's puppet clones further reinforce this belief that the Qin Secret Manual is real. Otherwise, why would these extraordinary individuals, possessing superhuman strength, risk their lives for a mere piece of information?
It was precisely because of this that the original chaos snowballed, drawing in more and more outsiders. The Qin Secret Manual, which did not originally exist, became believed by everyone through word of mouth, even though it was not revealed to anyone.
Shiina Aki was completely dumbfounded because what Li Wei said sounded like something out of an anime. But this had actually happened in the real world. He could only sigh that novels and anime needed logic, while the real world didn't.
Shiina Aki said, "Is that treasure really that powerful? That it can make everyone fight over it."
Li Wei said, "You know about the Hundred Years' War between England and France, right? This thing was the very spark that ignited it. It was three books, three extraordinary books that Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty, obtained. Legend has it that they were given to him by immortals. These three books played a crucial role in Qin Shi Huang's ability to unify the country. Unfortunately, due to an internal injury, Qin Shi Huang was unable to cultivate the techniques in the books. He could only search for elixirs to repair his body and then cultivate the techniques. However, he never received the elixirs before his death. After Qin Shi Huang's death, one of the three books fell into the hands of Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, while the other two fell into the hands of Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty. Relying on his superior strength, Liu Bang eventually seized the world."
Shiina Aki felt that his worldview had been greatly shaken. He never expected that the real history was so different from the version that ordinary people saw.
Shiina Aki said, "...How exactly did something so important fall from the East into the hands of the West?"
Li Wei said, "This is the story of the Ten Kingdoms period in the history of Chong Kingdom. It was the darkest period in the history of Chong Kingdom. It was during this period that three strange books were stolen. After a brief stay in the ancient Dong region, they were taken to Europe, which led to many bloody struggles in European history."
Shiina Aki said, "Then how could such a treasure appear in a place like Tokyo?"
Li Wei spread his hands and said, "This is beyond my knowledge. Nobody knows which idiot brought this dangerous thing here, making Tokyo look like Syria now, with conflicts that could break out on the streets at any time."
Li Wei patted Shiina Aki on the shoulder and said, "Young man, you've come at a really bad time, arriving just when Tokyo is at its most chaotic. Did you encounter any unexpected situations on your way here?"
Shiina Aki said, "Thank you for your concern. The journey has been very peaceful, or rather, I've been lucky and haven't encountered any of those messy things yet."
After hearing Li Wei's words, Shiina Aki felt a chill run down her spine. She realized that coming to Tokyo at this crucial moment was like a lamb entering a tiger's den. However, her application had already been submitted, and the school she was about to attend in Tokyo had responded. She couldn't possibly pack her things and run away now; if she dared to leave, her student status would be ruined.
So now, even knowing that Tokyo is in chaos, he can't leave.
Chapter 4. PTSD
At this moment, Shiina Aki's expression had completely collapsed, like a broken toy. He felt hopeless about his future, thinking that he would have to live in such a scorching environment for the next three years.
But there's no going back now, and it's too late to regret it. His student status has already been transferred to Tokyo, and it won't be easy for him to go back unless his parents step in and negotiate with the school.
Shiina Aki thought about it. Since Tokyo was so dangerous, staying there would easily lead to problems. It would be better to just admit his mistake to his family and return to Tokyo. After all, although the education in Tokyo was better, the safety situation there was a major issue. If something happened to his personal safety, he might lose his life. What good would education be then?
With that in mind, Shiina Aki made up his mind. After a couple of days, once his family had calmed down a bit, he would call and apologize. It was better to back down than to die.
Li Wei, through his mind-reading ability, saw Shiina Aki's inner thoughts and was at a loss for words. However, Shiina Aki's actions were indeed the most rational; even he agreed with the principle that a wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall.
Although he could understand Shiina Aki's thoughts, he would not let the other party leave easily. After all, if the main character left, what would all the preparations he had made be for?
Li Wei said, "However, you don't need to worry too much, Aki-kun. Chunyuan Manor is an absolute standoff between various forces. As a member of Chunyuan Manor, your personal safety is guaranteed."
Shiina Aki looked at Li Wei, somewhat surprised. He suspected that Li Wei had seen through his intention to back down, which was why he said such a thing. However, Li Wei's words also piqued his curiosity.
Shiina Aki said, "Is there anything special about Haruhara-sou? How come it's considered an absolute stronghold by all factions, and everyone who's a member of Haruhara-sou is guaranteed personal safety? Is Haruhara-sou really that powerful? Is it really just an ordinary student dormitory?"
Li Wei said, "Before I came, Chun Yuan Manor was indeed just an ordinary student dormitory, but now, it's a battleground for various forces. Let me reintroduce myself, Li Wei. People in the underworld like to call me 'Doctor.' For me, as long as a patient isn't completely dead on the spot, I can snatch them back from the clutches of death. The reason Chun Yuan Manor has become an absolute stronghold is because I'm here. In front of me, everyone must put away their fists and weapons."
Looking at Li Wei's serious expression, Shiina Aki was deeply shocked. At that moment, Li Wei seemed to be shining with light, and his confidence made Shiina Aki extremely envious.
Li Wei has been in this world for more than half a month now. He has also paid out of his own pocket to make some modifications to Chun Yuan Manor. The external independent warehouse, which was used as a storage room in the original plot, has been transformed into an operating room. Of course, this operating room is just for show. Repairing the puppet clone only requires casting spells, and there is no need for these complicated external objects. The reason for transforming the operating room is just to confirm his identity as a doctor.
In addition to converting the interior of Chunyuan Manor into an operating room, a temporary dojo has been set up in the back for the girls to practice martial arts.
Li Wei continued, "Everyone is afraid of death, and no one wants to offend an excellent doctor. So in the underworld, I have many, many friends. Everyone likes to give me face. For my sake, as long as you, Yashu-kun, don't actively cause trouble, under normal circumstances, even if you encounter those people, they won't be harmful to you."
Listening to Li Wei's words, Shiina Aki felt utterly incredulous. This sunny, approachable guy next door actually had a hidden identity unknown to most. Reality truly was surreal; he never imagined he'd encounter something so comic book-like. The mysterious underworld, powerful figures, treasures pursued by various factions, and even a safe zone—everything was so new and exciting to him. He felt the real world gradually unveiling itself before him, a feeling that thrilled him.
Shiina Aki felt that as a man, Li Wei had already put things this far, and if he still couldn't muster the courage, then he would really be letting down his manhood.
Shiina Aki asked, "Brother Li Wei, are we the only two people left at Chun Yuan Manor? Where is everyone else? Did they all go out?"
Li Wei said, "That's right, they're still out buying ingredients. After learning you were coming, we prepared a welcome dinner for you. They should be back by now."
Just then, the door opened, and several figures filed in.
Shiina Aki looked closely and saw several girls with different appearances. One of them was a plump, blonde girl wearing a traditional Aikido training uniform and carrying two large bags of ingredients. The other three were petite, long-haired girls with chestnut hair, tall, dark-skinned girls, and short, well-proportioned girls with pink hair. They were wearing modified, form-fitting martial arts uniforms and carrying various items, looking like apprentices from a traditional martial arts school.
When Haruhara Ayaka saw Shiina Aki, her smile froze instantly, and her face turned quite ugly. She said, "Li Wei-kun, who is this...?"
Li Wei said, "This is Shiina Aki, who spoke to us on the phone earlier. He just arrived recently."
Ayaka Haruhara was somewhat dazed. Shiina Aki's face reminded her of the adult dwarf who had kidnapped her before; the two faces were so alike, almost like brothers. Seeing Shiina Aki's face stirred up memories of fear within her, making her extremely uncomfortable.
Ayaka Haruhara concealed it very well; none of the other three girls noticed anything unusual about her.
Sunohara Ayaka reminded herself that Shiina Aki and the bastard who kidnapped her only looked alike; they were two completely different individuals.
Shiina Aki stood up and said politely, "Nice to meet you. I am Shiina Aki. Please take care of me in the days to come."
When Ayaka Haruhara heard Aki Shiina's voice, she completely lost her composure. She was all too familiar with that voice; even now, she would occasionally hear that loathsome voice in her nightmares.
Kazami Yuri noticed Sunohara Ayaka's unusual behavior and whispered, "Ayaka-nee, what's wrong?"
Haruhara Ayaka said softly, "It's nothing, I just didn't rest well at noon and couldn't get into the zone."
Ayaka Haruhara was unwilling to talk about her kidnapping experience; it was a nightmare she never wanted to recall. If it weren't for Li Wei, her life would have been ruined.
