Li Wei didn't want to reveal his full abilities yet, so he didn't teleport back to Izumo Manor directly. Right now, he realized he only had a few Sekirei left that he truly wanted to acquire. Moreover, with the technical support he secretly provided, MBI's efficiency in adjusting the Sekirei was far greater than in the original storyline. So far, most of the Sekirei with established roles in the anime have already appeared, and the remaining ones are mostly characters from the manga. If an otaku has only watched the first two seasons of the anime, they'll be completely bewildered by some of the new characters appearing in the manga later on.
"Right now, the only four I really want are the original female protagonists No. Yui, No. Shika, No. Fuuka, and the little loli No. Kusa. Fuuka is currently traveling all over the world and is still in Europe. She probably won't be back for a while. The remaining three are still undergoing adjustments in their respective research institutes and haven't been sent to the Eastern Capital yet."
Li Wei boarded the tram, intending to use this method to leisurely return to Izumo Manor. When he wasn't in a hurry, he was willing to take any means of transportation. Doing so made him feel like he was still a human being, rather than some strange or otherworldly entity.
Li Wei kept a close eye on the Sekirei he was interested in, because there were huge differences among the Sekirei, and those that caught his eye were a minority in the entire series.
Currently, Yui and Shika are still making final adjustments at their respective research institutes. Yui is in Saga, Shika is in Fukuoka, and Kogusa is in Kyoto.
Li Wei has secretly provided technical support to the research institute where they are located. Compared to the original plot, they will be able to enter the battle earlier. During this time, the three of them will be able to complete their adjustments. At that time, Li Wei will be able to gather as many of the Sekirei as he wants. As for Fuka, he will also try to get her back as soon as possible.
The way to get Fuuka back to Japan sooner is simple: make the European branch of the Snake Organization active. Fuuka will suffer a little, which will make her realize that not only is Japan unsafe, but Europe is even more unsafe.
When Li Wei returned to Chuyun Manor, he had just entered the gate and walked into the entrance hall when he saw Yuehai wrapped in a blanket, taking a nap against the shoe cabinet.
Hearing footsteps, Yuehai blinked and saw that it was Li Wei, a smile appearing on her face.
Li Wei sat down in the entryway to change his shoes and said, "Why are you waiting here all by yourself? Why aren't you going out to play with the others?"
Yuehai said, "Waiting for her husband to come home is a wife's duty. I asked Senior Song where you went before, and she said you went to settle accounts with the mastermind behind your assassination attempt. I'm a little worried."
Li Wei laughed and said, "What's there to worry about? You should know that the one who should be afraid is the other side, not me. How long have you been waiting here?"
Yuehai laughed and said, "Cai'er, I just fell asleep."
Li Wei used his mind-reading ability to see into Yue Hai's mind. The girl was lying; she had been sitting in the entryway for almost half an hour. If he hadn't already returned, she would have continued sitting there until he came back.
Li Wei said softly, "You're only wearing a swimsuit and wrapped in a blanket, what if you catch a cold sitting here? Go to the beach and sunbathe."
Yuehai pulled off the blanket draped over her body and laughed, "Don't worry, I'm in excellent health. Besides, I'm a wagtail with control abilities, which can affect the surrounding temperature to a certain extent. If you want me to catch a cold, you'd have to throw me to the North or South Pole."
Li Wei put his arm around Yuehai's shoulder and said, "I think Uranium Girl and the others have already told you my secret, but I still want to tell you it myself here. I am not from this world. After I completely resolve the issue of the Wagyu Game, I will leave this world. You need to be prepared to say goodbye to your family and friends here. Of course, if you don't want to leave, that's fine too. Not everyone can sever ties with their past."
Yuehai said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Wherever you go, I'll go. Is there any need to say such a thing?"
Yuehai gently nudged Li Wei's waist with her elbow, then leaned into his arms, enjoying their time alone together.
Chapter 1. Enjoying Life
Yuehai has a unique fragrance. Li Wei has a very keen sense of smell and can distinguish the different scents on each girl. Yuehai has a unique body scent similar to the sweet and sour smell of oranges, which is probably related to her control ability.
Livy was a master of the ability to identify each of his partners by scent when he was blindfolded, had his senses shut down, and used only his sense of smell. He was a master of the so-called "scent of a woman."
Passing through a sea of flowers, his body filled with their fragrance, Li Wei was an extremely greedy man. He didn't just smell the fragrance of beautiful flowers and leave; he would carefully transplant them into his own garden, which was practically his instinct as a gardener.
Yuehai said, "Uranium Girl and the others said that you have a very special, independent world, a world that belongs only to you, and that we will all eventually go there, is that right?"
Li Wei said, "Yes, this is a small world connected to me. No matter where I go, I can enter that world. And it is an absolute haven. I have built it into a paradise-like existence, like the heavens in mythology. It is a beautiful utopian world with only beauty and no ugliness. Of course, calling it a utopia is not quite appropriate, because this so-called utopia has already been built by me - it really exists."
As Yuehai listened to Li Wei's description, she felt a longing for that kind of world, an absolutely perfect utopian world, which should be something that all humans would yearn for, since the real world is not perfect and has all sorts of problems.
Li Wei said, "I have adventured in various different worlds. In my world, I have also taken in some unfortunate survivors. Some of them were persecuted in their own world and had nowhere to go. Others had their own world destroyed for various reasons and were homeless. So, I provided these poor people with a paradise-like environment so that they could live without worries."
Yuehai said, "I didn't expect you to be so kind."
Li Wei said, "I'm not a bad person. Isn't it normal for me to do good deeds? Like here, I'm very dissatisfied with this so-called Sekirei Game that plays with the fate of the Sekirei, so I plan to step in and save them. I've done things like this many times before."
Li Wei wasn't lying, or rather, he wasn't completely lying; it was half truth, half falsehood. Indeed, his floating island was a perfect utopia, but not just anyone could enter. First, one had to be a woman who caught his eye; second, one couldn't have any major problems, couldn't cross his bottom line, and couldn't be involved in matters of principle. Only after meeting all the conditions was one allowed to enter the floating island.
Of course, there are always exceptions. Girls who pass all the screening criteria enjoy full human rights on the floating island, and Li Wei treats them very gently. However, there is another situation: those who fail the first screening but barely pass the second. These girls are either villains or characters with serious problems.
Girls who pass the rigorous screening are considered "waiting citizens," and even Li Wei, as the island's owner, will show them basic respect and refrain from doing anything to insult their dignity. Those who fail the screening process are simply considered "waiting citizens" and cannot enjoy full rights.
Of course, these special girls were basically hidden in his special palace of pleasure, allowing him to live a life far more absurd than that of King Zhou of Shang and Emperor Yang of Sui.
Unlike ordinary people who feel empty after experiencing extreme pleasure, Li Wei does not feel such emptiness. On the contrary, this intense enjoyment only brings him more comfort. It is precisely because of this that Li Wei is consciously filling his pleasure palace. However, even the maid who serves him is subject to his strict requirements, and not just anyone can enter.
After all, aside from lacking dignity, the foot-washing maids didn't differ much from the girls who were considered citizens in terms of food, drink, lodging, and daily necessities. However, to protect the dignity of the girls, Li Wei couldn't always satisfy their desires. These foot-washing maids, on the other hand, were different. Li Wei could summon them at will and dismiss them at will, without needing to consider their feelings.
·Requesting flowers·· ······
It's quite bizarre, though. After being tormented by Li Wei like this, these maids developed an extreme dependence on him, almost like masochists.
Li Wei and Yue Hai arrived at the beach. Under the bright blue sky, girls were playing beach volleyball.
On the floating island, the beach volleyball area was packed with people. Li Wei didn't understand why the girls loved beach volleyball so much; they never seemed to get tired of playing it all day. However, he wasn't against it. After all, beach volleyball was a great sport for him to watch. The appeal of beach volleyball went far beyond just the ball itself. Watching the girls play volleyball was a pleasure in itself.
. ......... ...
Yuehai shaded her eyes with her hand and saw a group of girls laughing and joking in the distance. She said, "These girls really have no sense of urgency."
Li Wei said, "With me here, what sense of urgency do we need? Anyway, the Wagyu game is under my control now. All we have to do is complete the game. You just need to treat this as a special adventure."
Yuehai said, "The other wagtails are probably quite envious of us, after all, we've already reached the finish line ahead of time."
Li Wei patted Yuehai on the shoulder and said, "Go play with them. I'll find a place to lie down and sunbathe."
Yuehai didn't stand on ceremony. She jogged over to the beach volleyball net. When the other girls saw her, they rearranged their groups and started the game again. The wagtails' physical abilities far surpassed those of normal human girls, so their volleyball matches were essentially blatant cheating, utilizing their special abilities.
Li Wei arrived at the rest area not far from the volleyball net, where Miya and Matsu were lying on beach chairs, each doing their own thing. Miya was quietly reading a thick book of classical literature, while Matsu was playing a single-player game on his handheld console.
Chapter 1. Past Secrets
He put down the game console and said with some surprise, "I thought you would take longer, and it would be good if you could get back before dinner time."
Li Wei sat down, took out a bottle of Coke from the small refrigerator next to him, and poured himself a full glass. When lying on the beach enjoying the sun, having an ice-cold Coke is a very enjoyable thing.
Li Wei said, "The opposite side is right in the Eastern Capital, and it's the very famous Bing'e Spring in Weiya. It's very convenient to come and go from there."
Song asked curiously, "Is he dead?"
Li Wei said, "How could I let him go so easily? I used my abilities to extract all the reed sprout factors from his body, and now he can no longer transform into a wagtail."
The attraction between wagtails and reed shoots is a genetic factor inherited from ancient times. Wagtails and reed shoots are like two branches on an evolutionary line. Wagtails are "purebreds," while reed shoots are "hybrids." Ordinary people are "outsiders" to both of them, so ordinary people cannot become reed shoots, nor can they make wagtails molt.
Matsu said, "It still doesn't feel satisfying enough. We've only stripped him of his identity as Ash Bud, but his power and money still allow him to do many things. However, he can no longer truly participate in the game. The most basic condition for achieving final victory is to be Ash Bud himself."
If you are not a Reed Sprout, then no matter how much advantage you gain in the game, you will not be able to pass the Miya stage. Therefore, the most basic requirement for the final "dialogue" is that you must be a Reed Sprout and there must be a Sekirei.
Li Wei said, "I cast a spell on him. Now, Bing Equan is weak and sickly, and he suffers from all sorts of ailments. He's practically a cripple now. I think AGN doesn't want a cripple to lead them, so I estimate that things will change within AGN soon, and they'll elect a new leader."
People like Mikogami Hayato and Hyoga Izumi are now completely useless; ordinary people don't even have the chance to participate in the game. This is the tragedy brought about by the theory of bloodline.
Hiroto's story is also tragic. He is ambitious and wants to become a god, but the Reishi Sprout Factor within him is latent and cannot activate the ability to transform into a Sekirei. Therefore, he can only use the Sekirei Game to let others fight to the death in front of him, while he waits at the finish line to reap the rewards, using the power of others to achieve his own goals.
If Hiroto's own Reed Sprout Factor is dominant, then he wouldn't need to engage in any Sekirei game at all. He could simply take over all the Sekirei and use a tag-team approach, letting all the Sekirei take turns challenging Miya, thus winning through such dishonorable means.
If he possessed the dominant reed bud factor, he would definitely do it; the flexible moral bottom line of a schemer is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Song said, "AGN is indeed a considerable force. Although it's just a tiny bean compared to MBI, it's still an insurmountable behemoth for ordinary people. Even without Hyoga Izumi, they are still capable of causing trouble if they want to."
Li Wei laughed and said, "Without Bing'e Spring, AGN is nothing more than ants huddling together for warmth. They don't even have the chance to participate in the game, and they can't cause any waves."
Li Wei always conducts thorough research before making any absolute statements to avoid being proven wrong later. At least according to the investigation of his puppet clone, apart from Izumi Hyoga, no one else in AGN possesses the essence of Reisha. Like Hiroto Miyabi, their special bloodline is dormant and cannot be activated.
This is a problem that even a tech fanatic like Yu Guangren couldn't solve. AGN isn't known for its technical prowess, so it would be strange if they could overcome such limitations. However, just because ordinary people can't do it doesn't mean that a Qi cultivator like Li Wei can't. But as long as Li Wei is thinking straight, he would never do anything to cause trouble.
Matsu said, "Right now, we're practically the only dominant force. The MBI will definitely not sit idly by. They'll either increase the strength of the Punishment Team or secretly intervene and cultivate new Ashigers. In any case, they won't let us gain an absolute advantage."
Matsu picked up the game console again, saved his progress, and said, "Unfortunately, their efforts were meaningless. Cultivating new Reishi Sprouts was inherently an unstable factor in Mihiro's original plan. As for expanding the Punishment Squad's strength, unless he's an idiot, he wouldn't plant such an unstable bomb under his own command. With two Punishment Squads and three Dark Operations Special Operations Squads, that's already the limit of what he can control. If he continues to expand the Punishment Squad's strength and they rebel, he simply won't be able to mount any effective counterattack."
Li Wei said, "Not necessarily. Mihiro is a cunning fox who always has a backup plan. He has studied the Sekirei for so many years, and his methods of controlling the Sekirei are not as simple as just implanting a poison sac below the Sekirei's heart. When you left MBI, didn't you steal a divine artifact from him? So many years have been enough for him to use the power of the artifact to make a big splash."
In the manga's storyline, Mihiro showcases his research findings: based on the wondrous alien artifact, the Divine Artifact, it can forcibly shut down the Sekirei's bodily functions. This ability to specifically target Sekirei is something that no one except Miya can resist.
Of course, the original No. and the current No. are not subject to such threats, but apart from Musubi and Miya, the other Sekirei, even the elite individuals of the Punishment Team, are not immune to this.
Miya is unaffected because she is the complete Sekirei Queen, and Yui is unaffected because Yui entrusted her Sekirei essence to Yui, making Yui the most special existence among all Sekirei, with her special resistance second only to the Sekirei Queen.
Here, we have to talk about something that happened more than ten years ago. This wasn't the first time Shenzuo Island had been invaded. More than ten years ago, when Jie and Luhuo were only four years old, Amei bribed a key person within MBI to gain the ability to land on the island and sent a special force to infiltrate Shenzuo Island.
After infiltrating Shenzuo Island, the special forces collected as much data as possible. When they encountered instruments they didn't understand, they tried to sabotage them. They captured wagtails that they could capture directly, and for those that they couldn't take away, they read the data on-site.
Their methods were extremely brutal. In order to speed up the process of reading the material from the No. 1 knot, they directly destroyed the knot's base.
The nest was completely destroyed; the wagtail's trunk was ruined, much like a human heart being crushed.
Amei, look at the special forces of the country. They were all killed by the punishment team members Jie Nu and Ya Yu, but Lu Huo, who was kidnapped, was seriously injured, and Jie died directly.
To save Yui, Yui entrusted her own Sekirei stem to Yui, and the two "merged" in a sense. Yui disappeared, and Yui survived.
Li Weixian, no matter which world he's in, Amei, you see, he basically plays the role of a troublemaker, making people feel disgusted and annoyed no matter which world he's in.
Because of the bond, when Li Wei leaves this world, he'll imitate a certain quirky, round-eyed non-mainstream person who has to carry a bag of rice up several flights of stairs, to let the people of this country feel the pain. Hurting the girl he loves will have consequences.
Chapter 4. A Tragic End
In the anime, this event was placed at the beginning of the first episode. For otaku who hadn't read the original manga and were only watching the anime, the opening scene of "Sekirei" was completely baffling.
Or rather, the animation production team is preparing for a future anime adaptation, but to achieve this storyline, it would take at least a fourth or even a third season. However, "Sekirei" is not a popular work like "Date A Live," so a third season of the anime is a long way off, let alone a fourth or even a third season.
Of course, Li Wei could use his own money to create a fake account and invest in an animation production team to get the later parts of the manga animated, producing the third and fourth seasons. However, Li Wei thought that such a thing was unnecessary. He also needed to avoid interfering with the real world as much as possible and keep the real world as "authentic" as possible.
Li Wei's attitude towards the real world is to be an invisible observer, simply blending himself into the ordinary.
The incident that occurred more than ten years ago was also an important factor that led to the corruption of Karasu, a member of the punishment team. Karasu had a unique feeling for Yui, which was neither love nor friendship, but a more positive competitive relationship.
However, in order to save the already damaged Sekirei stem, Yui merged her own Sekirei stem into Yui's body, causing her to disappear.
This matter weighed heavily on Karasu's mind. Karasu believed that it was Jie who had killed Jie, so she was waiting for Jie to grow up so that she could kill Jie herself, force out the Jie who was hiding inside Jie, and bring an end to the unfinished battle between the two sides.
Ultimately, it's all the fault of the Amei Look Country. However, the people of that country have done countless despicable things; such acts are commonplace for them. After all, back when they were dealing with the Native Americans, they completely disregarded the fact that the Native Americans had helped them establish themselves in the New World. Therefore, Li Wei wouldn't be surprised by any of the heinous acts committed by the people of the Amei Look Country.
After all, look at America's Thanksgiving, it's about thanking the Native Americans for sacrificing their lives so they could settle in the New World, and thanking them for all dying. That's the dark humor of the holiday.
As the saying goes, the more something is lacking, the more it is emphasized. In Japan, for example, relationships between people are very distant. That's why Japanese anime works emphasize bonds, friendship, love, and family ties so much, because Japanese people genuinely lack these emotions.
The reason why superhero comics are so popular in Afghanistan is because the people there lack certain things: rampant drugs, widespread gun violence, political correctness, cults masquerading as human rights organizations, and thoroughly corrupt churches. It can be said that the lack of justice and fairness is precisely why superhero comics are so popular in Afghanistan, for the same reason as in Japan.
