A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

“…Brother V!” the two said respectfully.

(Nuo Wang Zhao) Li Wei possesses the memories of a puppet controlled by thought circuits, so he won't misremember his underlings' information.

The two people in front of me are not only important members of the Yakuza organization, but also important members of the Harmony Cult organization established by the identity of Chishima Kaede.

"Big brother, have you summoned us now because you have something important to tell us to do?" a man with an afro asked cautiously.

Next to the man with the afro was a middle-aged man in a floral shirt who was as thin as a bamboo pole. Although the two didn't look very reliable, they were the pillars of the organization and were skilled fighters.

Chishima Kashiwa smiled, her usual sinister smile replaced by a chilling yet cheerful one.

Chishima Kashiwa stretched out his hand, and sky-blue flames rose from his palm. Because of these cold flames, the temperature in the entire room dropped several degrees instantly.

The man with the afro and the skinny guy were dumbfounded.

Chapter 130. Bring the Holy Maiden Back to Me.

"Brother, you?!" The middle-aged man with the bamboo pole looked surprised, wanting to say something, but not knowing how to say it.

"Don't be surprised. You will all be able to master such power sooner or later. I just got a head start and came into contact with the power of the gods." Chishima Kashiwa's expression was indifferent, as if such supernatural power was insignificant to him.

Both of his underlings looked completely bewildered.

"Brother, didn't you make up that god yourself? You told us about it before, saying only a fool would believe such a thing." The middle-aged man with the afro said cautiously. Chishima Kaede had a bad temper, and he would always get slapped on the head for saying the wrong thing in the past. Now that Chishima Kaede had mastered supernatural power, if this slap came down, he would probably lose his head.

“That was just my past ignorance. God exists, and the power I possess is the authority He bestowed upon me, allowing me to walk on this earth in His stead.” Chishima Kaede’s expression was incredibly devout. Then, she slapped each of the two middle-aged men on the head and said viciously, “Show some respect to God! Don’t you want to enter His kingdom after you die?!”

Neither of the two middle-aged men dared to speak. After all, the fact that Chishima Kaede now possessed extraordinary power meant that God truly existed. It was precisely because of this that the two men dared not utter any more blasphemous words.

Chishima Kashiwa took out a document from the chest of her kimono and placed it in front of the two of them.

“This information concerns whether you can also wield the power of the gods. Read it carefully,” Chishima Kashiwa said.

The two middle-aged men moved closer, opened the documents, and began to browse through them. The documents weren't too thick, and they finished reading them in no time. The lean middle-aged man said, "Brother, is this girl useful to you?"

Chishima Kashiwa crossed her arms, her entire arms hidden by the wide sleeves of her kimono: "Of course she's useful, and very useful. This girl is a seed that is very suitable to be a saintess. The power of God is directly connected to this world. Just granting me power has already exhausted my reserves, but with this girl as a medium, the power of God can truly descend upon this world."

Hearing this, the two middle-aged men's breathing became somewhat rapid. They were not fools; the fact that they were able to capture the Holy Maiden meant that they were also qualified to obtain extraordinary powers.

Their leader had said that the Holy Maiden could serve as a vessel and medium for divine power. Now, only their leader had gained this power, while they remained ordinary people. But who would want to be ordinary when they could wield extraordinary power? The middle-aged man with the afro suppressed his excitement and said, "Boss, we will bring the Holy Maiden back!"

Qiandao Bai nodded and said, "You must bring her back intact, and you must not be disrespectful to the Holy Maiden. Don't try anything funny, or I won't be able to save you." The lean middle-aged man said, "Boss, if we bring the Holy Maiden back, what about her family? Should we bring them back as well?"

Qiandao Bai smiled and said, "Since the Holy Maiden is useful to us, we will naturally treat her with great courtesy. But are the Holy Maiden's relatives useful to us?" The two middle-aged men shook their heads.

"That's settled then? What's the point of bringing them back if they're useless?" Chishima Kaede made a throat-slitting gesture and said, "Make it clean, don't let the Holy Maiden know it was you who did it, if you still want to obtain extraordinary power." "Do we have to kill them?" the middle-aged man with the afro asked.

“Otherwise, with attachments and burdens, would the Holy Maiden be willing to be wholeheartedly loyal to God?” Qiandao Bai said.

"Brother, I think your temper has improved a lot?" the middle-aged man with the afro said.

Chishima Kaede laughed and said, "Nonsense, I'm not an ordinary person anymore, so naturally I have to be more magnanimous. In the past, I was greedy for enjoyment, which was ultimately because I was afraid of dying. Life is too short, and I haven't enjoyed it enough in my life, so I always seized the time to enjoy it. But now I have plenty of time, so I can take my time and not rush. When I'm in a good mood, my temper will naturally be better."

(cgch)

Unbeknownst to the middle-aged man with the afro, his own boss had already had his soul formatted and was now someone else's puppet. Li Wei was not Chishima Kashiwa, but there was a plausible explanation for his drastic personality change as a puppet.

The two middle-aged men sitting below also thought this was a good thing; their boss's personality had improved, and they would get scolded less.

"Make this quick and clean, and remember to be discreet. I don't want to be cleaning up your mess," said Chishima Kashiwa.

“No problem, brother. You know us. We’ve never failed when it comes to kidnapping people,” the lean middle-aged man said.

Inside the apartment, Li Wei, standing on the balcony admiring the night view, revealed a satisfied smile. The puppet clones had already assigned tasks, and he believed they could do a good job. After all, the group under Qian Dao Bai were all experts at doing all sorts of dirty work.

It is said that everyone has their own expertise. It is extremely difficult to get these scoundrels to do anything decent, but they are professionals at doing things that are harmful and deadly.

Li Wei sighed inwardly, thinking that the puppet clone was quite useful. Although the puppet was limited by its aptitude and its strength was not great, the foundation laid by the puppet's predecessor made it convenient for him to do many things that he himself could not do in person.

From then on, the light belonged to him, while the dark side belonged to his puppets. Puppets, directly controlled by his own thought processes and without the worry of loyalty issues, were much more convenient than simple subordinates. Moreover, such puppets could be discarded at will after their usefulness had been squeezed dry, unlike clones he created, which would suffer heavy losses if they fell. Compared to clones, puppets, which were essentially disguises, still had advantages in some aspects.

Li Wei held a glass in his hand, but the liquid in the glass was cola. He had been drinking at the bar during the day and found that he still didn't like the taste of alcohol, even the fruit-flavored Screwdriver. It didn't suit his taste. He still preferred soda.

Even though he has now gained extraordinary power, many of his traits as a homebody are ingrained in his bones and simply cannot be changed. For example, the must-haves for a couch potato—sweet soda and potato chips—are addictions that Li Wei can't shake.

As a kind of clone, the puppet can transmit its own senses back to the original body. Li Wei didn't know whether to say it was good or bad, because Chishima Kashiwa's wife was currently entangled with the puppet.

"Hmm..." Li Wei hesitated for a moment, then stopped thinking about it. In this situation, does a man still need to make a choice?

She's past her prime, but still retains her charm. That's wonderful, truly wonderful.

Chapter 131. Ruthless

Chishima Kashiwa's two younger brothers are both incredibly capable individuals. Unfortunately, they don't channel their abilities into righteous actions. However, it is precisely because of this capability that they are able to become Chishima Kashiwa's confidants and play important roles in both the yakuza organization and the religious organization.

After memorizing the information in the document, the two drove to the area where Izumi Hashima's family lived. They then waited for night to fall so they could make their move.

Izumi Hashima's parents are a typical office worker and a full-time housewife. Izumi Hashima also has an older brother named Iori Hashima.

Originally, this family lived in Nagoya, but because Izumi Hashima's father was transferred back to Tokyo, both Izumi and Iori Hashima transferred schools and came to Tokyo.

This made it easier for the two of them to kidnap the person. After all, if the target was in Nagoya, they would have to drive there, which would take a lot of time. Plus, they had to carry a living person without hurting them, which instantly increased the difficulty.

Now that the target is within Tokyo, all they need to do is kidnap the target, dispose of the others, sprinkle on chemicals specifically for destroying evidence, and then set a large fire to completely destroy all traces. Even a special investigation team won't be able to find any clues.

Moreover, unlike Japan, due to privacy concerns, the Japanese government couldn't withstand pressure to fully implement the Skynet system. Except for a few core areas, the vast majority of Tokyo is unmonitored by Skynet. While this protects people's privacy, it also provides excellent cover for the crimes of various yakuza organizations.

Before arriving here, the two men, with the frizzy hair and the skinny bamboo pole, had already confirmed that there were no surveillance cameras in the vicinity. Apart from a couple of intersections with traffic light cameras, the entire residential area was almost completely undefended.

In the dead of night, when all was quiet, the man with the explosive hair and skinny frame, wearing a gas hood, quietly slipped into the detached house of the Hashima family.

The two quickly took out the sleeping potion and began spreading it throughout the house. After confirming that everyone in the entire Bodao family had been knocked out, the two skillfully stabbed everyone except Bodao Chuhai to death with knives. Then they put Bodao Chuhai in a sack, carried him away from the house.

After placing the unconscious Bo Shima on the back seat of the car, the two men retrieved gasoline and chemicals from the trunk. They returned to the detached house, where no one was left alive, and began to pour gasoline and chemicals on it. Once the entire detached house reeked of gasoline, the man with the explosive hair threw a lit lighter forward. The wooden detached house was instantly engulfed in flames, and a fiery dragon rose up, plunging the entire house into a sea of ​​fire.

“In the past, we always dealt with those tricky enemies, but this time it was quite easy; we didn’t even need to use a gun,” the man with the afro remarked.

"Isn't this a good thing? Shall we go back and report to our elder brother now?" the skinny bamboo pole said.

"Don't bother your brother when you get back. He's probably having some fun right now. Increase the dosage and let the Holy Maiden sleep a little longer," the man with the afro said.

After cleaning up their tracks, the two left the crime scene, got back into their car, drove around the intersection with surveillance cameras, and left through a residential alley.

Around four in the morning, Li Wei finished his battle and cast a cleansing spell to freshen himself and the girls, saving him the trouble of taking a bath. After the girls fell into a deep sleep, Li Wei went to the balcony to keep an eye on his puppet clones.

The battle on Qiandaobai's side had just ended, and Qiandaobai's identity had, for once, revived the husband's authority, letting that charming old woman know what a real man is. Unfortunately, the real Qiandaobai was long gone; the current Qiandaobai was merely Li Wei's disguise.

Li Wei unintentionally became Lao Wang, and the dual sensory experience opened the door to a new world for him.

Anyway, the evil deeds done by the puppet clones and the infamy all belong to the puppet clones. What does that have to do with the great and righteous Master Li?

He was the one enjoying it, while the puppet clone bore the infamy. This clone technique, unintentionally developed, became increasingly comfortable for Li Wei the more he used it... (Seeking flowers...)

After returning to the old house, the two underlings didn't go straight to Thousand Island Cypress. Instead, they first settled Bo Island's departure. Then, the two of them drank and ate a late-night snack in the courtyard corridor, waiting for their boss to summon them after he had rested. Although the two, with the afro and the skinny guy, were yakuza members, their long hours of performing various dirty jobs had honed their willpower and stamina. Even going a day or two without sleep was nothing to them. In addition, the excitement of about to gain extraordinary power kept them awake, so they abandoned the idea of ​​resting and waited for their boss to wake up so they could offer the saintess up immediately.

After being modified by Li Wei's original body, the puppet body of Chishima Kaede has surpassed the limits of ordinary mortals. Although it is vastly different from Li Wei's original body, the fact that it has a physical body that surpasses that of ordinary people allows Chishima Kaede to do many things that ordinary people cannot do. Its strength is close to that of Li Wei's original body when he first obtained the cheat.

Qiandao Bai displayed his prowess, transforming the once-charming middle-aged woman, who always wore a resentful expression, back into a delicate young lady. After finishing and comforting his beloved wife, Qiandao Bai went to the corridor.

"You seem to be in good spirits. Would you like to join the drinking session?" Chishima Kashiwa was wearing only a simple bathrobe and was barefoot, which made her seem more approachable compared to her usual dignified image.

"Big Brother." The man with the afro and the skinny guy stood up and said respectfully.

"Sit down, everyone. 'Pineapple,' go get another pair of chopsticks, and don't forget the cups," Chishima Kaede said with a smile.

Pineapple is the nickname for Afro, because his thick, naturally curly black hair makes his head look like an upright pineapple. Of course, only his older brother can call him that; anyone else who dares to call him by that nickname should be prepared to get a beating.

"Okay, big brother, I'll be right back." Pineapple Head headed towards the kitchen and returned a short while later with a cup and chopsticks.

Chapter 132. Adding Drama to Myself

The late-night snack didn't last long. After finishing most of the snacks on the small plate, the three of them went to their room at Antonbo Island.

The puppet watched as the sleeping Po Island set sail, and said to the afro-haired man and the skinny man, "You did a great job. As long as the Holy Maiden is in our hands, we will be able to connect with the power of the gods and become the true rulers of this world."

Upon hearing this, the frizzy-haired man and the skinny man involuntarily became breathless. Mastering extraordinary power, reaching the pinnacle of life, and obtaining everything they wanted were things they had never dared to dream of before.

Li Wei observes Hashima Izumi through the puppet's perspective. This character, who only appears in the middle of the anime's storyline, has a very subtle aura about him. Li Wei has sensed this aura in Kasumigaoka Utaha and others. This "970" is the "scent" of cause and effect.

Among the women around Li Wei, the girls who occupied important positions in the original story—Kato Megumi, Kasumigaoka Utaha, Sawamura Eriri, and Hyodo Michiru—had the strongest causal fluctuations. On the other hand, Machida Sonoko and Sawamura Sayuri didn't have much screen time, so Li Wei couldn't sense much causal fluctuation from them. As for the other passersby, they didn't have the slightest causal fluctuation at all.

Watching Hashima Ueko lying on the tatami mat, Li Wei sighed inwardly. Having a villain's identity made many things much more convenient. Li Wei even thought that every time he arrived in a new world, he would first find one or two suitable villains to create a villain puppet identity for him. Strength wasn't important; what mattered was the villain's identity.

Because he is an evil person, no matter how heinous the things he does, it will not surprise anyone, and it can also attract the attention of others. In conjunction with his true form, he can carry out some extremely secretive plans.

The puppet said, "You may all leave now. Bring me the maidservants. We rough men are no match for the Holy Maiden. She is the key to our entry into the Kingdom of God, and we cannot afford any mistakes."

"I understand, brother. I'll take care of it right away." Skinny said, and he and the man with the afro left the room.

The puppet sat obediently to the side, resting with its eyes closed. Because of the sleeping potion, Bo Island wouldn't wake up for a while. The puppet was guarding the area only to prevent any accidents from happening.

A short while later, several maids dressed in traditional kimonos came in and sat not far from the puppet.

"Master, what are your orders?" the head middle-aged maid asked respectfully.

"Take good care of this girl. When she wakes up, stabilize her first, then call me over. Remember, you must not hurt her, and you must also prevent her from hurting herself, understand? Go and prepare your things, and come back in half an hour."

The puppet said with a serious expression.

Meanwhile, inside his apartment, Li Wei entered his own mental space and began crafting religious attire for his puppet and the voyage to Bo Island. He wanted to go all out; as the pope of a religious organization, his puppet needed a full set of impressive gear. The defensive capabilities of the equipment weren't crucial, but its sheer coolness was paramount.

After obtaining a rough understanding of Bo Island's physical dimensions through the puppet's rudimentary perception, Li Wei began preparing a well-fitting saintess outfit for Bo Island based on the data he had obtained.
