People in Type-Moon have a hero simulator.

It was a magnificent sword dance. The two figures intertwined, and the killing intent gradually faded. They were merely "communicating" through their swords.

But Yu Ji's stamina is just too poor.

"Go back. I'll grant your request. Now, all of you, get out of here immediately."

Upon hearing Yu Ji's order to leave, Wang Situ hurriedly led Fujimaru Kyoya away, wondering why this lord was in such a bad mood today.

Do immortals also have relatives?

Fujimaru Kyoya didn't seem to mind that Yu Ji was blushing; as long as the plan could continue, that was all that mattered.

[You've been hiding in Wang Yun's residence these past few days, pushing forward Zhuge Liang's plans. However, Yu Ji hasn't personally intervened; instead, she's used a puppet to represent her and feign compliance.]

You watch as Wang Yun brings Lü Bu to his residence and has a doll of Yu Ji perform a dance for him. Everything unfolds exactly as Zhuge Liang planned. However, you notice that this doll's curves are becoming increasingly pronounced, leading you to conclude that Yu Ji's creation compensated for the original's flaws.

This guy really does have some self-awareness.

Fujimaru Kyoya watched from the sidelines. According to Zhuge Liang, although Lü Bu was not a man of great wisdom, he was a man of great ambition.

Dong Zhuo and Lü Bu were already engaged in a major battle, and all Zhuge Liang did was to have Diao Chan catalyze the conflict between the two.

There are only two kinds of men in this world: those who crave power and those who are lustful, but most men are both.

Yu Ji was an unparalleled beauty, and the puppet that replaced her was naturally no less stunning. Even Fujimaru Kyoya couldn't help but take a second look.

Of course, Yu Ji glared back at him for stealing a glance.

Chapter Fifty-Seven: Ten Times, or Even Nine Times

ended.

The doll of Yu Ji returned to the room, and its businesslike smile gradually disappeared, returning to a lifeless, inhuman silence.

Were all the men in Liu Bang's state this confident?

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. You can't compare him to Xiang Yu."

Fujimaru Kyoya appeared from the side. Actually, he was also quite surprised. Although his older sister was a bit irritable, she still agreed to help with the doll and didn't go back on her word, which was quite unexpected.

"I have my own ideas, there's no need for me to tell you."

Yu Ji agreed not entirely because she was infatuated, but simply because she thought of Xiang Yu again.

Back at the Wujiang River, the two of them could have escaped, but Xiang Yu chose to die there.

He hoped that peace would be restored to this land as soon as possible, even if it cost him his life. As for the land after peace, he would let Yu Ji see it for him.

Yu Ji was Xiang Yu's eyes, but all she had seen over the years was hell on earth.

The reason Yu Ji agreed was that peace should be restored as soon as possible, so that Lord Xiang Yu could continue to see the happy scenery.

Although she wouldn't dance for other men, it wouldn't matter so much if a substitute doll did it.

Will they fall for it?

"You were just a trigger. If Lü Bu could kill Ding Yuan to climb to a higher position, why couldn't he kill Dong Zhuo? Does Dong Zhuo really trust Lü Bu after understanding his character?"

Fujimaru Kyoya understood that this was nothing more than a strategy of killing three warriors with two peaches; Zhuge Liang's strategy was not novel, but it was absolutely effective.

"You can control the puppet at a certain distance. You should also be able to infiltrate the palace. I will protect your safety."

"Protect me?"

Yu Ji scoffed. As a spirit of nature, she wouldn't die so easily.

"Protecting you is secondary; my main purpose is simply to meet the current emperor."

Fujimaru Kyoya's statement was half true and half false.

Since Yu Ji was willing to help him with this favor, he would not allow her to be in a life-or-death situation. As for seeing the emperor, that was also true.

Fujimaru also wanted to use the merit of killing Dong Zhuo to exchange for the emperor recognizing Liu Bei as his imperial uncle.

Although Liu Bei claimed to be a descendant of Prince Jing of Zhongshan, there were many descendants of Prince Jing of Zhongshan. Who did Liu Bei think he was?

Only with the confirmation of the royal family could Liu Bei have a name and a foundation for survival in this chaotic world.

You easily blended into Yu Ji's entourage and entered the palace. The palace was heavily guarded, but you still managed to find the right opportunity to meet the current emperor.

[You explained your purpose and learned that the deposed emperor had recently died. The other party's fear of Dong Zhuo was palpable, and he readily agreed to your request.]

[You watched from the sidelines as the doll of Yu Ji danced for Dong Zhuo. Even you had to admit her charm, especially since Yu Ji had chosen two rather large steamed buns today, boosting her charm tenfold, perhaps even ninefold.]

Goodness, this simulator is definitely true to HOMO's unique "ten out of nine" rule.

After the song and dance ended, everyone praised it for having the style of the pre-Qin period. Fujimaru Kyoya originally thought it was just flattery, but after thinking about it, he realized that the dance of this Yu Ji was probably not really from the pre-Qin period.

You keenly sensed that two people were not captivated by the dance: Lü Bu and Dong Zhuo, whose thirst for power ran far deeper.

When you watched the banquet end and Dong Zhuo prepared to take away the doll of Yu Ji, you knew the real show was about to begin.

A dense chorus of footsteps approached, and when the sound reached the entrance of the main hall, the murderous aura almost inevitably aroused Dong Zhuo, sobering him up.

"Fengxian, what do you mean by this?"

Dong Zhuo looked at Lü Bu. The palace guards had always been controlled by his adopted son, and now a large force was heading towards him, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"I, Lü Bu, have sacrificed so much for my adoptive father, even killing Ding Yuan, yet you won't even give me a single woman. Isn't that a bit too stingy?"

The woman is just an excuse.

Now that Dong Zhuo has caused widespread panic in Chang'an, Lü Bu could gain the support of most of the city's officials simply by killing Dong Zhuo, regardless of the reason. These people could help him gain a foothold and he could also earn a reputation for "returning to his former glory".

Furthermore, the killing of Ding Yuan could be portrayed as a ruse to gain Dong Zhuo's trust; there's simply too much room for manipulation.

Of course, these were not just Lu Bu's wishful thinking; these matters had already been settled during his visit to Wang Yun's residence these past few days.

Watching Diao Chan dance was merely a cover; Lü Bu's true aim was power, though it would be even better if he could also win over women.

“Fengxian, you shouldn’t have done this. If you hadn’t done it, I might have kept you. After all, you really are… very useful.”

Dong Zhuo remained completely calm. As the palace guards entered the main hall, Lü Bu, who should have been announcing victory, suddenly changed his expression.

Originally, Zhang Liao should have been the leader, but now the leader is...

"Sima Yi?"

"Lu Bu, you really can't be careless when using a weapon like that, and..."

Sima Yi glanced at Diao Chan. Although he was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but admire her beauty. However, such a person could not stop him.

"Friend, we meet again."

"If I could, I really wouldn't want to see you."

Fujimaru Kyoya emerged from the shadows. It was clear that Sima Yi had seen through this scheme. He understood that Zhuge Liang, though outnumbered and isolated, could do little, but he still possessed the ability to manipulate certain variables to advance the situation.

"Have you ever thought that after this battle, regardless of who lives or dies, you will be in a dangerous situation?"

"Really? But I've always been indifferent."

Zhuge Liang had already told Fujimaru Kyoya how dangerous it was to enter Chang'an alone.

Fujimaru Kyoya's purpose in coming here was not to kill Dong Zhuo, but to ensure the death of either Dong Zhuo or Lü Bu, and to take Yu Ji away from the palace.

If Lü Bu dies, then Dong Zhuo will also lose Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, and with the death of Hua Xiong, he will have almost no territory left, and retreating back to his hometown of Xiliang will be a foregone conclusion.

If Dong Zhuo dies, the warlords will enter Chang'an and there will be a brief period of peace, giving Liu Bei a window to secretly develop his power and rescue as many people as possible.

Zhuge Liang had already said these principles before he left, and besides, would he really die here?

Fujimaru Kyoya also looked at Sima Yi with ill intent.

This guy's goal was to support a strongman to quickly seize the world, then usurp the throne and establish the Sima family's dynasty. But Dong Zhuo was no longer capable of making Sima Yi stay on this broken ship.

Sima Yi's situation was definitely no better than Fujimaru Kyoya's.

Chapter Fifty-Eight: Yu Xi, Yu Xi, what can be done?

The flames of war reignited in Chang'an. Lü Bu and Dong Zhuo now broke off all pretense of civility, and it was clear that only one of them would survive today. Meanwhile, Sima Yi, who had previously "loyally" saved his lord, had fled.

"Sigh~ As expected, the situation has come to this point. Fortunately, I have a backup plan."

Sima Yi had already begun to consider his escape route when the fire in Luoyang failed.

He had previously asked Dong Zhuo to take in Lü Bu because he knew that Lü Bu had a rebellious nature and that he would inevitably have a conflict with Dong Zhuo in the future.

If the plan to set fire to Luoyang succeeds, then Sima Yi can take advantage of Dong Zhuo's unification of the world and use the current strategy to sow discord between Lü Bu and Dong Zhuo, so that when they are both weakened, he can seize the throne and rule the world.

Unfortunately, Zhou Yu's fire ruined his plan.

Now, one wrong step leads to another, and the only option left is to find another job and seek new opportunities.

As for Dong Zhuo and Lü Bu?

Sima Yi thought... "It's like a meow, popping champagne, meow~"

Suddenly, a familiar, sharp pain shot through the back of his head. Clearly, the clone he had left behind had its head smashed by Fujimaru Kyoya with a single blow.

This wasn't the first time he had experienced this feeling.

……

"Another stunt double? This guy really has multiple escape routes."

Fujimaru Kyoya shielded Yu Ji's true form behind him, treating her like a weak woman, which naturally aroused Yu Ji's dissatisfaction. However, this strange yet familiar feeling suppressed her temper.

When was the last time she was protected by someone behind her?

"It seems I don't have many options left."

Holding a gun in one hand and a sword in the other, Fujimaru Kyoya appeared so weak and alone in the face of the endless stream of soldiers, just as he said, he didn't have many choices left.

"Buy me some time."

Lu Bu, holding his halberd, glanced at the man he hadn't killed before; now, saving him was the only thing they should do.

"can."

Fujimaru Kyoya walked straight toward the endless line of soldiers, calm and fearless.

"I am the boundary; those who cross it... die."

After saying that, Fujimaru Kyoya rushed forward. He rushed towards the soldiers at the so-called "boundary between life and death," and his presence was like the arrival of death, terrifying all living things.
