Chapter 4. Pine's Heartfelt Intentions
Li Wei didn't soak in the hot spring for too long. After all, there were many beautiful and lovely girls around him, all wearing only swimsuits, and it was quite a struggle for him to resist the temptation.
The first thing Li Wei did after leaving the hot spring was to take advantage of the girls' inattention and enter the floating island to vent his inner rage.
After venting his anger, Li Wei returned to the outside world to avoid appearing embarrassed in front of the girl beside him.
After changing his clothes, Li Wei went to the hidden room at the end of the corridor, pushed open the concealed revolving door, and entered the room. Because of his strong insistence, the room was now brightly lit, unlike before when it was as dark as the command center of an evil organization's secret base; the atmosphere had been completely reversed.
At this moment, Song was sitting in front of the computer, rapidly typing on the keyboard and sending emails.
Previously, Song always knelt while using the computer. This posture is not good for the body and can easily cause poor blood flow in the legs. Although the Wagtail's constitution does not need to worry about developing bowlegs, it will still affect its motor ability over time.
Because of Li Wei's strong insistence, Song has gradually gotten used to the posture of a normal person using a computer. Sitting on the stool, she has an upright posture, and from behind, she looks graceful and voluptuous, with a kind of fleshy beauty.
Although Song had already sat on a stool, she refused to go any further, preferring a chair with a backrest; a stool was the limit of what she could accept. However, everyone has their own habits, and Song's refusal to accept a chair with a backrest wasn't a big deal. After all, she had already taken a step back and accepted using a stool, so Li Wei wouldn't force her to change excessively. Of course, her previous bad habits had to be changed, and that was non-negotiable.
Li Wei came up behind Song and hugged her from behind, whispering, "You must have had a tough time these past few days. It must have been quite tough being with a sister who isn't very reliable."
Song felt the heat coming from behind her ears, and a tingling sensation spread throughout her body, causing her hands, which were typing, to pause involuntarily, and she typed several characters incorrectly.
"Li Weijun, stop teasing me. I have important things to do right now. This is something you entrusted to me, and now you're messing things up for me," Song Wei pouted and said softly.
Li Wei laughed and said, "I'm just curious about hacking techniques. After all, hackers usually seem very mysterious. If they don't actively reveal their identities, ordinary people have no idea what hackers do on a daily basis."
Song blushed and said, "If you're just interested in the daily life of hackers, could you please let go of my hand, Li Weijun? I can't concentrate on my work if you keep holding me like this."
Song felt a strong masculine scent wafting towards her. It was a very peculiar smell. She didn't know if this scent could be classified as a fragrance, but it wasn't offensive to her, at least that's what she thought.
Moreover, Li Wei's breath brushed against her cheek, making her feel hot all over, and the fire burning in her heart made it impossible for her to concentrate.
Although this wasn't the first time she'd been in such close proximity to Li Wei, each time her heart would race and she'd lose control of her emotions.
Li Wei said softly, "But I don't want to let go right now. After all, this is a rare time to be alone without being disturbed by others."
She opened her mouth, but swallowed back the words that were about to come out. Just as Li Wei had said, this was a rare moment of time alone for the two of them. You see, with so many girls in the family, Li Wei had to consider everyone's feelings, so he couldn't spend too much time alone with any one girl. Therefore, the time she spent alone with Li Wei was precious.
She leaned against Li Wei's chest, no longer struggling. Now, she took her hands off the keyboard and gently grasped Li Wei's hands, feeling his strong and powerful pulse, a vitality full of masculine strength.
Song said in a low voice, "Indeed, this is a rare moment of solitude. I can deal with work later, since it's just email. Most communications in the Eastern Capital are now under the control of the MBI, so I can't call them one by one."
Li Wei said, "It doesn't matter how things turn out. Song, you've done what you could. As for the outcome, that's not something I'm considering. I'm really lucky to have met you."
Song whispered, "Li Weijun, me too. If it weren't for you, I don't know what I would be like now. Maybe I would still be like a rat in the gutter, living a life without seeing the light of day."
Before meeting Li Wei, Song was very gloomy because she could not see any hope.
As a former member of the Punishment Team and a technician, Matsu knew very well how powerful the MBI was. Especially after they tampered with the Sekirei's heart, she was even more hesitant to act rashly, fearing that the MBI would vent their anger on the other Sekirei.
That's why she had to disappear without a trace, wanting to save her compatriots in her own way, but her power was too weak. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't change the general trend, and the more she tried, the more desperate she became.
Then Li Wei appeared. Li Wei, in her own way, gradually saved the Sekirei. Unlike others who were constantly doing futile work, Li Wei's actions always managed to frustrate Mihiro and gain advantages for her side. Moreover, Li Wei also rescued some promising Sekirei, turning them into allies and preventing them from becoming mere tools for others. These actions deeply moved her.
Everything Li Wei did was something she wanted to do but couldn't do herself. As long as the goal could be achieved, it didn't matter who did it, but it was even better that the person was Li Wei.
Li Wei said softly, "The thing I hate most is seeing cute girls suffer and be wronged. What Mihiro did completely violate my taboos. Matsu, just watch how I deal with Mihiro and get justice for the Sekirei."
Song nodded, a smile appearing on her face. She turned and kissed Li Wei deeply on the cheek, saying with a smile, "I believe you can do it, Li Wei-jun. When that time comes, you must teach Yu Guangren a lesson for me, let him know that doing evil will have consequences."
Chapter 4. Big News
After spending some time with the girl, Li Wei asked her to finish what she was doing. She quickly typed on the keyboard, soon finished writing the email, checked all the emails that needed to be sent, and then pressed the key.
The email has already been sent, and the other party only has two hours to react. This kind of thing is explained in the email. After all, MBI is now monitoring a lot of public communications, and email is not a very secure method. So we have to act quickly before MBI can react.
Therefore, Li Wei will only give the other Reed Sprouts two hours. They will not wait after that time, because after this incident, the safe house that has been exposed can no longer be used. Staying there for too long will make it easy for the MBI to find out.
Just after Li Wei left Song's room, his phone rang. He picked it up and saw that the caller ID showed "Raven Feather".
Li Wei answered the phone. Ya Yu was a senior member of MBI and had special communication lines, so there was no need to worry about being eavesdropped on. Therefore, she could call directly, as long as she could ensure that no one else was listening in.
"It's been a while since we last contacted each other, Crow Feather."
“Before you were competing, I could only call Miya. I’m sorry about what happened to Mihiro. All of our teams were sent out on missions. By the time I realized what was happening, he had already completed his plan, and I lost my last chance to strike.”
"It's alright, leave this to me. What you need to do now is ensure your safety. You can come directly to Izumo Manor; I have a way to remove your wagtail pattern."
"No matter when you hear about this, it's unbelievable. Only an extraordinary person like you could do something like this."
"The power I possess far exceeds your imagination. If the wagtails hadn't been controlled by MBI before, and if my rash actions hadn't easily implicated them, I would have already taken action."
"But now, the difficulty of making a move has increased too much. I've been in close contact with Hiroto, and even from several meters away, the terrifying pressure he exuded almost made me kneel down. Is he really still human?"
"That was true before, but now, according to academic classification, he has become a deity of faith. As a god, he naturally possesses power that humans cannot match, which is quite normal."
"God? Does such a thing really exist?"
"Haven't you already seen it?"
"That kind of power is indeed godlike. Do you have a way to deal with him? Don't get yourself involved. I plan to continue lying in wait. If I come over now, I'll only cause you more trouble and draw your attention to you."
Jie Nu is currently at Izumo Manor, and naturally she doesn't want to bring trouble here. Although Li Wei is very confident, she still doesn't believe him. So, out of caution and for Jie Nu's safety, she plans to remain in hiding for a while longer, at least to gather more information.
Now that Yabuki has something to worry about, she also has a weakness. So she has lost her former madness and is now only thinking about how to get close to Yui. If it weren't for her job keeping her in check, she would probably become a complete failure very soon.
"You need to have some basic confidence in me. You've never even seen me actually fight, so how do you know my true strength?"
"By the way, Yu Guangren told me earlier to pay attention to MBI's official news channel, saying that something big is going to happen soon, but I don't know what it is."
"Okay, I'll take a look over here too, and see what kind of big news that guy can make."
After Ya Yu hung up the phone, Li Wei put his phone in his bag. He went to the living room, turned on the TV, and switched to the MBI official news channel. Before he could even sit down on the sofa, he heard an explosion from the TV, and at the same time, the previously dark environment was engulfed in flames, turning it as bright as day.
Numerous fireballs continued to fall to the ground, which was filled with screams and wails.
Li Wei knew what was going to happen, but he didn't want to stop it. After all, it wasn't a bad thing for Da Piao Liang to suffer a little. Who told him to always start trouble in other people's homes? Now someone finally managed to throw firecrackers into Da Piao Liang's house. The onlookers would only gloat. Sympathy? It would be better to sympathize with the innocent people who had been harmed by Da Piao Liang than with him.
Li Wei also had to be mindful of his image, not wanting to reveal himself as a cold and ruthless person in front of the girls. Otherwise, he really wanted to use a food tablecloth to cut out half a watermelon and eat it with a spoon.
Just then, Uranium Girl came downstairs. She went to the TV, saw the screen, and said, "The special effects in this movie are really getting more and more amazing. I wonder how much money it would cost to make these scenes. It has a bit of a documentary style."
Li Wei's expression was serious, but he almost burst out laughing inside.
Li Wei said, "This is not a movie, but the official news channel of MBI. This is a live news broadcast. There really is a disaster somewhere, and it's not an ordinary disaster."
Uranium Girl also clearly saw the station logo in the upper right corner, and a look of surprise appeared on her face. The television screen showed a large number of fireballs falling from the sky and crashing into the city. The huge impact shattered buildings, and the splashing lava ignited everything that could be ignited.
Uranium Girl swallowed hard and said, "Is this a superweapon from Red Alert? It's that amazing?!"
Li Wei said, "I think I understand what happened. This is Yu Guangren taking revenge. This guy is extremely vengeful. Now that he has power, the first thing he does is seek revenge. Do you remember the battle on Shenzuo Island? And afterwards, Da Piao Liang sent a special force to infiltrate Shenzuo Island and kidnap Jie and Lu Huo."
Uranium Girl heard people screaming; it was in English. She realized that what Levi said was true.
At this moment, the scene cuts to Hiroto's large face, his expression twisted with a sinister smile. He says, "There's a saying, 'When an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent.' Perhaps you have no grudge against me, but since you're kin to those who have offended me, I don't feel ashamed to involve you. Hahahaha!!!"
The scene switched back, but this time it showed another city engulfed in flames.
Li Wei said, "That Yu Guangren is using this method to establish his authority, getting rid of a few troublemakers who are difficult to manage, making an example of them to deter others and make more people obedient."
Chapter 1. Making an example of someone to deter others
Li Wei exclaimed, "This is truly big news. Tomorrow, once the whole world knows what happened, the power of the Yu Guang people will reach its peak."
Fear can also inspire faith. The power that Hiroto currently wields, if left unchecked, could easily garner a large following simply from the emotions it evokes. After all, the faith in evil gods is more stable than that in benevolent gods. A benevolent god won't harm you if you don't worship him, but an evil god will punish you even for the slightest offense. Therefore, gods with violent personalities or whose class leans towards darkness and negativity are more likely to have a stable following.
Uranium Woman said, "Doesn't he claim to be a god? Those people suffering below are also his potential believers. Isn't he afraid that his actions will be unpopular?"
Li Wei said, "Because he did the math. From his perspective, I can also do the math. Although it's a bit inhumane to say it like this, punishing Big Beauty can bring in more believers. After all, Big Beauty only has a population of over 200 million, which is just a small number compared to the total global population. Even if they all die, it won't be a loss for him."
"That's a cruel account," said Uranium Girl. "That's over two hundred million living people."
Li Wei shrugged and spread his hands, saying, "After all, Great Beauty and Yu Guangren have a grudge, so I can understand why he would retaliate immediately. Besides, although Great Beauty is a religious country, most of its people are lawless troublemakers, and even if they were to be incorporated into the religious system, they would be very difficult to manage."
Uranium Woman's expression turned serious as she said, "So many people have to be dealt with for this reason. It's insane."
Li Wei remained silent, for he knew all too well that in an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent. The people of Great Beauty regularly enjoyed the benefits of a powerful nation, but this so-called strength was often maintained through dishonest means. So, while they didn't directly commit evil, their daily lives fueled this machine of evil. Even if they appeared to be doing nothing, their very existence contributed to the creation of this evil.
That's why Li Wei felt no sympathy for the plight of the beautiful people. On the contrary, he was quite happy to watch the spectacle, since such a grand display of fireworks wasn't something you could see every day.
Of course, Li Wei would never reveal his gloating thoughts on the surface, as that would damage his image.
As a villain and a schemer, Li Wei naturally knew how to calculate this. Even if he were in Mihiro's current position, he would make the same choice. The principle of "the nail that sticks out gets hammered down" applies here as well.
After all, Great Britain is the most powerful country on Earth, without exception. It has always considered itself the beacon of human civilization, and its powerful military is unparalleled in human society. It can be said that Great Britain can beat up most of the world. It is precisely because it is the big brother that the Yu Guang people will target it. After knocking down the most powerful one, the rest will have to think twice about whether they can withstand the punches.
If you only target two weak persimmons, you won't achieve the same effect.
Eliminating just over 200 million people to gain the loyalty and faith of over a billion others—such a deal is incredibly lucrative.
However, Li Wei has also come up with some new things through in-depth research on faith. The power of faith is, in the final analysis, the power of emotions, and he has developed a technology that can replace ordinary people, namely, highly intelligent AI.
Li Wei had tried imbuing a highly intelligent AI with faith and having it pray continuously for four hours a day. Surprisingly, this thing worked even better than real believers, actually producing a large amount of faith energy. Most importantly, it was incredibly stable, doing nothing but praying all day. He placed a hundred such AIs on his server, and they produced the amount of faith energy that would require tens of thousands of fanatical believers to generate. With enough AIs, it was entirely possible to simulate a large number of believers, continuously providing a stable supply of faith energy without demanding anything in return or needing rest.
Having discovered this shortcut, Levi built upon it to develop a more stable technology, though from an AI perspective, it was quite inhumane. However, Levi is a humanist, and he wouldn't recklessly grant AI emotional and cognitive abilities, nor would he release these praying AIs out of the closed server. Therefore, there's no need to worry about AI going out of control—a plot straight out of a movie—occurring in reality.
However, the power of faith is too weak and too limited compared to proper magic. It can only serve as a lower-level substitute for magic. Therefore, after Li Wei had thoroughly understood this power, he shelved it and did not intend to popularize its application.
Li Wei turned off the TV and said, "The deed is done, and it's too late to save him now. The only thing I can do now is to stop him before he makes an example of someone again."
Uranium Girl nodded. Her feelings about Big Beauty were also very complicated, but overall, they were mostly negative. Whether it was the initial battle on God's Throne Island or the later dispatch of special forces to infiltrate the island and kidnap Jie and Lu Huo, they were all things that she found disgusting.
Therefore, she didn't have much sympathy in her heart. From the perspective of the Sekirei, Da Piao Liang really had the Sekirei under her control, and what she would do would definitely not be much better than the current MBI.
Big Beauty has a notorious history of misconduct in biological research. If they fall into Big Beauty's hands, their fate might be even more tragic. They might be dragged to do virus experiments or undergo various dissections. At least MBI allowed them to live to adulthood. In Big Beauty's hands, it's questionable whether they can even survive for three years.
Li Wei said, "Let's get some rest early today. We were originally planning to have a get-together tonight, but given the current situation, I don't know if everyone is still in the mood."
Uranium Girl put her hands behind her head and said, "I don't really care. Anyway, it's the pretty girl who's going to suffer. She's so far away from me, so she won't be bothered if she can't see her."
