A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

Turning into a side road, we entered an underground bar through a small alley. This was one of Chishima Kaede's properties and also his secret hideout. He usually spent most of his time here, remotely controlling his organization to carry out various illegal activities to benefit himself and his family. Chishima Kaede was a traditional Japanese villain who, while committing evil, also abided by certain underground rules and belonged to the "lawful evil" camp. However, Levi was even more ruthless than him and belonged to the "true, chaotic evil" camp.

Upon entering the bar, Li Wei, tall, handsome, and charismatic, immediately attracted everyone's attention. The somewhat dimly lit underground bar seemed to brighten considerably with his arrival. The women looked at Li Wei with greed and desire, while the men were quite wary, as if they had seen some terrifying monster.

Li Wei walked to the bar, sat down, and said, "A screwdriver."

The bartender wiped the glass, not even looking up, and said, "Young master, this is not a place for you. If you want to have fun, there are plenty of places upstairs."

"Guests are guests, aren't they?" Li Wei smiled brightly, like the sun.

Li Wei's senses had already covered the entire surrounding area. His target, Qian Daobai, was currently in the secret room on the third basement level of the bar. At this moment, Qian Daobai was staring at a bunch of surveillance videos and making a phone call. Li Wei had already "heard" his words.

The bartender said nothing more, took out the mixed liquor, and began to mix the screwdriver that Li Wei needed. Just as Li Wei said, a bar is open for business, so naturally it cannot turn away customers.

The bartender was a seasoned veteran who had seen countless people. He sensed a dangerous aura emanating from Li Wei, which was why he wanted Li Wei to leave. After all, this bar held too many secrets, and someone as dazzling as the sun was definitely not simple.

A scantily clad young woman approached and sat down next to Li Wei, smiling as she asked, "Are you alone, young man?"

"If I buy you a drink, could you leave me alone for a while?" Li Wei said with a smile, his words clearly aloof.

"Oh, how heartless, young man." The young girl leaned closer, wanting to rest against Li Wei, but Li Wei shifted slightly to the side, causing her to miss her footing and nearly fall. If Li Wei hadn't caught her, she would have been embarrassed...

She almost fell, but Li Wei caught her again. The young girl was startled, but then felt a warmth in her heart and smiled, "Young man, you're quite gentle."

“I just didn’t want to disturb the other guests, ma’am.” Li Wei released the young girl, gently pushed her to sit up straight again, and said to the bartender, “A Golden Fizz, for this beautiful lady.”

The young girl's eyes held a hint of resentment. Li Wei's meaning was quite clear, and she felt a sense of shame. Someone like Li Wei, who was like the sun, made her, a rat hiding in the gutter, feel warm and sad at the same time. If she had met such a sunny person a few years ago, before she fell into depravity, perhaps she would have had the chance to bask in the sunlight.

After the bartender prepared Levi's screwdriver and pushed it in front of him, he began to prepare the girl's golden fries.

Li Wei picked up his glass, took a sip, and said, "We are all children of God, but we are special, the closest to God." Hearing Li Wei's words, the bartender's hand froze, and he almost dropped the cocktail shaker.

“Therefore, God will be the first to guide us into His kingdom,” the bartender said quietly.

In a break from mixing drinks, the bartender took a key from under the counter, placed it on the bar, and gently pushed it towards Li Wei. Li Wei pressed the sliding key, downed the drink in his glass of 2.7 in one gulp, and said, "Yes, we will all enter His kingdom."

Li Wei grabbed the key, placed a Fukuzawa Yukichi card on the bar, walked towards the door on the side of the bar, opened the door with the key, and went inside.

The bar returned to calm. With Li Wei's departure, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Li Wei's presence seemed to be of some high status; just his sitting there made them feel like they were sitting on pins and needles.

After entering the door, Li Wei walked familiarly towards the underground passage. After scanning the surrounding environment with his senses, the entire bar was no longer a secret to him.

The coded message mentioned earlier, a crucial piece of information in the intelligence report, represents the core ideology of the Harmony Cult founded by Chishima Kashiwa, and the coded messages derived from it.

Chapter 128. The Puppet of a Supreme Boss

When Li Wei arrived outside the secret room where Qian Dao Bai was, Qian Dao Bai was still monitoring his casino and occasionally contacting his subordinates by phone.

As a villain, Chishima Kaede is undoubtedly qualified; a son of a wealthy family would never risk his life.

Unfortunately, this ferocious beast was targeted by an even more terrifying and unspeakable predator.

Li Wei snapped his fingers, and invisible spiritual energy transformed into the shape of a key, opening the reinforced mechanical door of the secret room.

Hearing the sound from the mechanical door, Chishima Kashiwa, who was on the phone, hung up and threw the phone aside. She drew two pistols from their holsters, turned them in her hands, and released the safety. She then swung her hands down, using centrifugal force to chamber the guns, and pointed them at the mechanical door.

The mechanical door slowly opened, and Li Wei calmly held it in place, saying, "Oh, good afternoon, Mr. Chishima."

“Friend, you’ve come to the wrong place.” Chishima Kashiwa’s face was expressionless, and her eyes were icy cold as she looked at Li Wei as if he were a dead man.

"Since you call me a friend, Mr. Chishima, it's not too much for me to ask for a drink, is it?" Li Wei sat down as if they were old friends, skillfully opened the small cabinet, took out a bottle of Grey Goose vodka, bit off the cork with his teeth, and smelled the faint aroma of the liquor.

Seeing how familiar Li Wei was with the environment, Qian Daobai was both wary and puzzled. This was his most secret place; even his wife and children didn't know it existed. How did the other side find this place? The bar had three underground floors, but only the first floor was open to the public. The second floor was a warehouse used by internal staff, and the third floor was a place only he knew about. He had even killed all the renovation workers from back then. It could be said that this was a secret base known only to him.

However, this secret base was invaded by a stranger. He wanted to shoot the old bartender guarding the door, but after thinking about it, he realized that if the other side could get in, the old bartender was probably already in grave danger.

What Chishima Kaede didn't know was that the old bartender at the gate let Li Wei into the second basement level because Li Wei uttered the core code.

The secret code, known to fewer than five people in the entire Harmony Cult, was revealed by Li Wei. Naturally, the old bartender did not doubt Li Wei's identity and simply assumed that he was one of their own, unaware of Li Wei's existence.

“If you like drinking, I’ll burn some for you every year, stranger. No one leaves here alive,” Chishima Kashiwa said coldly, his gun already pointed at Li Wei’s head. If Li Wei made any move, he would shoot him in the head.

“Mr. Chishima, aren’t you afraid that I’ve already spread the secrets of this place? As long as I don’t leave within a certain period of time, your secret base will be ruined.” Li Wei smiled and took out two small cups from the cabinet, shaking them at Chishima Kashima: “Have a drink with me?”

"Then you can go to hell first!" Chishima Kashiwa decisively pulled the trigger. In the enclosed underground space, there was no need to worry about the gunshots being heard. The pistol did not use a silencer, and the gunshot was very crisp.

However, all the bullets stopped half a meter away from Li Wei, as if they had hit an invisible barrier.

Chishima Kashiwa looked like she'd seen a ghost, her pupils suddenly contracting.

“We are all children of God, but we are special, the closest to God,” Li Wei said calmly. “Monster!”

Chishima Kaede pulled the trigger repeatedly until the magazine was empty, while in front of Levi, there were countless bullets suspended in mid-air.

"You, the son of God, actually defy me who has mastered the power of God?" Li Wei spread his hands, mimicking a certain dim-witted blond guy who said, "Do you dare to defy me who possesses the power of Baye?"

Chishima Kashiwa's terrified expression revealed his inner turmoil.

Li Wei laughed and said, "Have some dignity, Qiandao-san. You are a big shot who commands an extreme organization with five hundred members, and you also have a religious organization with more than two hundred members under your command. For a big shot like you to show such an expression is too much of a contrast. It's not dignified at all."

"Ha, dignity? What's the use of dignity? If someone like you came knocking on my door, would I even have a chance to live?" Although Chishima Kashiwa was a big shot in his own right, he was still just an ordinary person. When faced with death, he couldn't be nonchalant and calm. What's shown in movies is always fake.

"Yes, indeed, you will die. Of course, I will give you a quick death, and I won't harm your wife and children. Consider this my promise to you," Li Wei said with a smile.

"Thank you, then... let's get started." Chishima Kashiwa closed her eyes. Chishima Kashiwa could only trust that Levi would keep his promise, because she was in a completely disadvantaged position; besides trusting the other party's bottom line, there was nothing she could do.

Li Wei walked up to Qian Dao Bai, placed his hand on her forehead, and began to use his supernatural powers. Qian Dao Bai reacted as if he had been electrocuted, his whole body began to convulse, his eyes rolled back, and he foamed at the mouth.

Li Wei browsed through Qian Dao Bai's memories as quickly as if watching a movie. This method did not cause mental pollution like first-person reading of memories, making it very suitable for Li Wei, whose thinking speed far exceeded that of ordinary people.

"So that's how it is. I didn't expect this guy to have so many businesses. He's really lucky for me. But it doesn't matter. It's just a disguise that can be discarded after one use. I can just convert his assets into gold later," Li Wei murmured.

In just a few minutes, Li Wei completed the formatting of Thousand Island Pine's soul. All of her memories had been deleted, and now her soul and body were being taken over by the thought circuits that Li Wei had separated.

In a sense, Thousand Island Cypress is still alive, but after losing all his memories, can he still be considered himself? Moreover, after his soul was formatted, he is now in a vegetative state. Without Li Wei's thought circuits controlling him, he cannot respond to any external stimuli.

When Chishima Kaede opened her eyes, although her face was still the same, her eyes and body language were like those of a different person. She was less sinister and more magnanimous.

"Ahem, it's quite novel to see yourself like this." Chishima Kashiwa laughed heartily.

Li Wei didn't say anything because it was a thought circuit that he had separated. Fundamentally, it wasn't even a clone; it was just a puppet that could be remotely controlled using spiritual power.

Li Wei began modifying Qian Daobai's body. Although it was just a disposable vest that could be used once and then discarded, he was still willing to invest a certain amount of money in order to perform the role well.

It took Li Wei over an hour to construct a spiritual energy circuit capable of internal circulation within Qian Dao Bai's body. However, Qian Dao Bai wasn't a cultivator, and the spiritual energy "charged" within her body was depleted with each use. But with Li Wei's immense spiritual power and Qian Dao Bai's exceptional spiritual energy reserves—comparable to a high-performance battery—as long as it wasn't squandered recklessly, the spiritual energy stored within Qian Dao Bai's body was more than enough to put on a good show.

Chapter 129. The Puppet in Action

When Li Wei left, he left the information about the voyage from Po Island in the secret room.

After the main body left, Chishima Kaede dialed a phone number and contacted two of her trusted subordinates to hold a meeting that evening to discuss important matters.

After leaving the bar, Li Wei still felt a little uneasy. After splitting off his thought process, he felt that his thinking speed was not as agile as before, and there was a sense of sluggishness.

Li Wei can sense the puppet's physical feedback, meaning that if the puppet is injured, Li Wei will not be directly injured, but will still be negatively affected. In addition, due to the limited number of thought circuits that cannot be solved, this puppet technique, which is like possession, has an extremely narrow range of applications.

When I got home, Machida Sonoko had already returned, carrying a box and tidying up the house.

Although the entire apartment has been transformed into something akin to a paradise by Li Wei's renovation, this does not mean that the space inside the apartment has the ability to clean itself, so daily cleaning is still necessary.

Li Wei glanced at the time on the wall; it was only around 4:30 PM. Today had been quite a busy day.

Li Wei sat down on the sofa. He was in charge of cleaning, since magic was much more useful than a vacuum cleaner. However, he had to tidy up the mess himself, since he didn't know which items could be cleaned up and which were still needed. So, Machida Sonoko was in charge of cleaning the house.

"Sister Yuanzi, I've finished self-checking the second volume, and the illustrations are all done. I can send it directly to the paperback station now," Li Wei said.

Although Li Wei currently possesses numerous methods to amass a large fortune in a very short time if he desires it, writing light novels is more of a hobby for him, so he has no intention of abandoning the project. Since he still has some time before leaving this world, he'll publish as many volumes as possible, striving to present his work to his readers as much as possible.

“I’ll take the manuscript over tomorrow. By the way, how’s Eriri doing?” Machida Sonoko piled up the things she had packed and took off her apron.

Sonoko Machida dressed quite casually at home, wearing a t-shirt and shorts, a combination that really tests one's figure, but for her, this outfit was effortless to pull off.

Machida Sonoko brought Li Wei a glass of water and placed it on the coffee table.

Li Wei sighed and said, "I was really shocked today. Eriri's father was blown up by the enemy's military-industrial complex, and now they probably won't even be able to find his body. Eriri and Aunt Sayuri are going through a lot of trouble right now."

"Mr. Spencer is gone?!" Machida Sonoko was shocked by the news Levi brought back.

"Yes, I have to say, ordinary people are really fragile," Li Wei sighed.

The reason why ordinary people have to follow the rules is that if everyone does not follow the rules, everyone will easily be ruined. It is precisely because of the fear of the worst outcome that social rules are established.

As experts in wordplay and an old noble family in Ying Kingdom, the Spencer family can be considered one of the most adept at exploiting loopholes in the rules on Earth. It can be said that as long as they play within the rules, the Spencer family, while not invincible, has a significant advantage.

Unfortunately, the old aristocracy, accustomed to winning through rules, encountered a military-industrial complex that preferred physical elimination of its opponents—a classic case of a scholar meeting a soldier. As a result, key members of the Spencer family were nearly wiped out; it could be said that a single negotiation severely damaged the Spencer family's strength.

Li Wei said, "I don't want to get involved in this kind of thing, but I also need to give Eriri an explanation. So I will help her deal with the mastermind behind this explosion. Of course, if she wants to kill her enemies herself, I can also help her capture them alive."

Machida Sonoko looked worried and said, "This is dangerous. Can we not do it?"

Li Wei shook his head and said, "I have to do this because I am your husband. When you are wronged, no matter what the situation, I will stand firmly by your side and stand up for you."

Machida Sonoko gave a helpless smile. Although Li Wei was easy to talk to in daily life, he was very responsible when it came to important matters, and could even be described as somewhat chauvinistic. However, Li Wei's chauvinism was to prioritize protecting them, and she didn't dislike that kind of chauvinism.

Machida Sonoko sat down next to Li Wei, leaning on his shoulder. Neither of them spoke, simply enjoying the cozy feeling of being alone together.

He didn't know how much time had passed when he heard the door open. He knew without turning around that three people had returned.

When he turned around, Machida Sonoko had already stood up and walked towards the kitchen. At the door were three people in different states: Kasumigaoka Utaha and Kato Megumi were in excellent condition, while Hyodo Michiru looked somewhat tired.

While Li Wei himself was enjoying the warm daily life with the girls, the puppet Chishima Kaede, controlled by his thought circuits, left the bar and drove back to his antique mansion.

Traditional Japanese yakuza organizations often have inherited properties, and large houses like this are practically standard for traditional yakuza.

Upon returning to the mansion, Chishima Kashiwa ignored his wife and children and went straight to the conference room. When he opened the paper door, two trusted confidants were already waiting inside. Upon seeing Chishima Kashiwa arrive, the two men, who had been somewhat relaxed, immediately straightened up and adjusted from their cross-legged sitting posture to a formal sitting position.
