Doctor, I'm really strong!

Nian fell into deep thought: "It seems...that's indeed the case. Which country did you receive your education, little brother?"

Ling continued, “We were born in Yan Kingdom and were influenced by Yan Kingdom culture. So even though we are the incarnations of the Sui Beast, we identify more with Yan Kingdom. Jie was the same at first, but after coming into contact with certain things, she changed a lot. However, this change was acquired. In the early stages, she was just like us, but Jiuli was incompatible with this world from the very beginning.”

Year: "What specific aspects are included?"

Command: "All".

Year: "All of them! Isn't this a bit too outrageous?"

Ling shook his head: "This is the result of my observation. Jiuli is actually completely unaccustomed to and does not like his current life. You may find it incredible, but this maladaptation is directed at the social environment of the entire Terra continent."

Nian was dumbfounded: "This is... too outrageous."

Ling: "This is also the strangest thing. In fact, Jiuli's appearance is too strange and too unbelievable, and his current identity was recorded in the past."

Year: "What record?"

Command: "The evil spirit of Babel, commander of the Theresa faction during the Kazdel Civil War, codename Doctor."

Nian: "If that's the case, Jiuli started operating a long time ago and even had an official identity."

Ling nodded: "And Jie was still alive at that time."

Nian lay down in the pool for a moment and murmured, "It's incredible."

Ling: "What's even more incredible is the environment in which the Jiuli people grew up."

Year: "For example?"

The text states: "An optimistic mindset indicates a positive living environment; a chaotic fighting style suggests that he has never fought a war before; a free-flowing mind suggests that he had an environment that allowed him to think and develop freely; a vast knowledge base indicates a good education; and a lack of aristocratic behavior suggests that he comes from a commoner background. Consider these factors before making a judgment."

Nian bluntly stated, "How could someone be an ordinary citizen in such an environment?"

Ling: "Yes, that's what I find most strange. If it were a commoner's life, even in the richest part of Yan Kingdom, education would be beyond the reach of ordinary families. But even the poorest families would cultivate certain aristocratic habits in their children. But Jiuli has none of these; he acts like an ordinary person."

The combination of a good education and a commoner's demeanor—two completely contradictory possibilities—in one person has left the Reiwa era very perplexed.

This isn't the kind of dissolute behavior typical of aristocrats; it's simply a matter of being born into an ordinary family and developing such habits. And habits, which are formed later in life, are determined by objective conditions. For example, you certainly won't be able to enjoy the cuisine of a presidential suite in a Mexican favela unless you bring your own ingredients or some big shot has nothing better to do than set up a Manchu-Han Imperial Feast.

Nian: "So how many secrets does our little brother have?"

Ling raised his wine cup and said, "What we think is not important. What is important is what the Imperial Household Department thinks and what the court thinks."

Nian tried to put himself in Si Suitai's line of thought and said, "If I were Si Suitai, after knowing this information, even if it was only part of it, I would suspect that Jiuli had been laying out plans on the Terra continent for a long time and possessed a huge hidden force. We don't know why he did this, so we can only suspect him..."

Ling added, "I suspect he is preparing to harm the Yan Kingdom."

Nian sighed: "It's just that the Sui Beast has a grudge against the imperial court. There's nothing we can do about it. Now it's a bit difficult to handle."

Ling then said instead, "If Jiuli really made so many arrangements, then there is nothing to worry about now."

Nian suddenly realized: "That's right, the ones who should be worried about something going wrong at this time are those old guys at Si Sui Tai, hahaha, I suddenly want to see their embarrassed expressions."

Ling swirled the wine in his glass and said softly, "This time, the Yan Kingdom is probably about to undergo a major upheaval."

Section 176: The Year God cannot understand

(One more chapter coming soon, please leave a comment! (～￣▽￣)～)

Just as Ling had predicted, the Si Sui Tai was investigating Liu Jiuli's affairs, and the more they investigated, the more shrouded in mystery became.

Liu Jiuli has too many identities. In addition to the ones he has recently acquired, he has also been the evil spirit of Babel, the commander of the Theresia faction in Kazdel, a cold-blooded decision-making machine, the old popsicle in Chernobog, and so on.

Never mind the rest, this time span is just ridiculously long. In the distant past, before the other avatars of the Year Beast had even made their mark, the person known as the Doctor was already traversing Terra, leaving his footprints all over the continent.

It's difficult to verify how much of this is true and how much is false. After all, as time goes by, investigations turn into archaeology, archaeology into legends, legends into myths, and in the end, it's almost like gossip. There are even many folk versions and archaeological elements. Finding original materials in a bunch of fanfiction is as difficult as replicating the entire human civilization by referring to a Ming Dynasty kitchen knife.

Even if we take a lenient approach, this leniency is still too much for the girls on the brothel – their vaginas are too wide.

However, we can still find some clues about recent events. The most recent events can be traced back to the last one or two hundred years, and the most reliable ones are naturally the last five years. The further back in time, the more outrageous it becomes.

In any case, the atmosphere in the analysis department of Si Suitai has been very depressing lately, and the analysts are so angry that they wish they could burn down the filing cabinets.

I thought the Year Beast was always under my surveillance, but now it suddenly appears out of nowhere. Could this be the Year Beast's last struggle before it collapses, and there is an unspeakable secret in it?

For the parts we don't know, we can only speculate, but we should start with the most dangerous possibilities.

Therefore, the Tai of the Year came to the following conclusion:

For at least two thousand years, Liu Jiuli traveled all over the continent of Terra, possessing multiple identities. No one knows how much he planned or prepared, and his activities may date back to before the founding of the Yan Kingdom.

In this way, Liu Jiuli became a mysterious immortal being, a dangerous schemer, an inexplicable, powerful, and dangerous dictator who appeared at an unknown time, Liu Cthulhu 9 SCP ​​Li.

If Liu Jiuli knew that Si Suitai was analyzing him like this, he would probably flip the table.

"Shut up! I'm the head of Lobotomy Corporation. Hands up now, or I'll nuke you all!"

Cough cough cough, just kidding, but Si Suitai's analysis makes perfect sense, at least to a normal person.

Did you have Si Suitai analyze it and conclude that Liu Jiuli is actually a time traveler who suddenly transmigrated with a cheat code, and then, because he dislikes the current environment of Terra, he's a proletarian fighter preparing to launch a revolution? No way, no way, would a normal person think like that?

Even the most outrageous intelligence analysis expert wouldn't analyze something based on a novel.

After Si Suitai's actions, which resembled a stray dog ​​with a prolapsed rectum, Liu Jiuli's danger level was directly raised to the level of a three trillion-level god-level world-destroying, world-saving, holy grail dark creature, just short of adding two identical attributes to create a massive jet.

But this put the official in charge of the Imperial Calendar in a real bind.

The Sisuitai was originally a department specifically for dealing with the Sui Beast. Now, after your analysis, you're telling the world that we can't do anything about a Sui Beast clone, and might even have to kneel down. How are we going to get funding from the department in the future? I'm afraid it will be disbanded next year and become a small department under the Ministry of Rites again.

This was definitely not going to work. When it came to matters of interest, many people felt they needed to unleash their inner power, so they all turned into night owls, searching through countless documents for possible breakthroughs. But just then, an explosive piece of news arrived.

Liu Jiuli is coming to the Yan Kingdom to meet the Emperor in the capital.

Holy crap! We didn't even know how to deal with you, and you came knocking on our door yourself, huh? You did it on purpose, didn't you? You definitely did it on purpose!

The officials of the Imperial Household Department even began to imagine Liu Jiuli's sinister and cunning smile. Everyone started to think about how to handle the matter. They couldn't let the Imperial Household Department fail to exert any force after Liu Jiuli entered the capital.

Don't think that Si Suitai's behavior is reckless; this is a common problem in highly specialized departments, which is that they tend to be hawkish.

In any national organization, if a specialized department is established targeting a certain entity, that department will certainly first think about how to strike and kill the enemy, because the hawkish approach makes it easier to achieve political achievements. Not every country is like the Song Dynasty, which only knew how to send troops abroad, knelt down more readily than anyone else, and was very happy to be a sucker.

From the perspective of Machiavellianism, this is a role-playing game of good cop and bad cop. The Ministry of Rites represents appeasement, while the Si Suitai represents attack. The Yan Kingdom court chooses one of the two, or both, depending on the actual situation. Unless the situation is completely out of control, both generally play a dynamic role.

With a big stick in hand, and gentleness and severity on the lips.

If the big stick can't do its job, then it just means the stick is useless and needs to be replaced. At that time, the Si Sui Tai, which was finally separated from the Sui Beast due to its importance, will probably have to return to the Ministry of Rites. Then, all the benefits of an independent department will be gone. And how do you think the Ministry of Rites will view this department that has returned after being separated?

Don't bring up the idea that you were originally a family. To them, you ran away to live independently, and now that you can't make ends meet, you're coming back to cling to their coattails. You have to pay the price, such as reducing staff or losing control of funding.

This is equivalent to your boss having complete control over your earnings and your salary. If you want to spend your own money, you have to ask your boss for permission. Could you stand that?

How to demonstrate the authority of the Si Suitai under such circumstances has become the most troublesome thing for the department head.

After all, the other party is an avatar of the Year Beast, and we have no idea about its strength. The Reiwa Nian who has already gone to follow him obviously will not share the information they know. What if we mess things up by just guessing and making wild guesses?

Going too far in Beijing, stuffing a grenade in your crotch—just thinking about it is thrilling.

After much deliberation, they decided that the only way to deter the other party was through proper etiquette. They hoped that the prestige of the Director of the Imperial Household Department would intimidate them and prevent them from acting recklessly.

Okay, that's settled then. Next, we'll discuss the details.

While it's called a detail, it's actually about etiquette. The Yan Kingdom's court had a great many etiquette rules, such as what to wear when meeting the emperor, how to perform the ceremony, how to arrange the movements, and even the preliminary preparations.

This is actually all about exerting pressure, using etiquette to exert a kind of pressure called sanctity, so that those who meet the emperor dare not act rashly, and are in a weak position from the beginning, trembling with fear, and submitting to the majesty of the emperor.

But this is the Ministry of Rites' job.

It's alright, since it's the Year Beast that's coming, so the Year God's Platform should also join in, that's all.

But what happened next left many people in the Yan Kingdom's court stunned.

"I will be visiting Yan soon, but besides that, there wasn't even a date. When is he coming?"

Yan Huang looked at the letter in his hand and was speechless. In fact, the letter was not even handwritten, but printed out. The other party's attitude was extremely perfunctory.

Or rather, the other party simply doesn't care about the recipient's identity.

"Your Majesty, this is extremely rude! They must be punished!"

Several ministers nearby echoed his sentiments, but Emperor Yan himself did not think so.

"It seems like they weren't from Yan country to begin with."

"But the Sui beast belongs to the Yan Kingdom!"

"What if they say, 'I don't have Yan citizenship,' what will you do then? Just give them one on the spot."

The ministers were speechless. This was indeed a diplomatic issue; Liu Jiuli had too many identities to be definitively defined.

The worst part is that Liu Jiuli also holds the title of Viscount of the Ursus Empire. What if people bring that up? What if the Ursus Empire uses it as an excuse to make trouble?

I hadn't noticed it before, but now I realize things are complicated. I can't expect them not to play by these rules. Besides, none of the people present have ever met Liu Jiuli before. What kind of person he is, how he likes to do things—nobody knows.

The unknown means uncertainty, and uncertainty means anything can happen. To reiterate, what if this humanoid nuclear bomb gets angry and decides to unleash a full-scale attack? How would the situation on the ground be controlled? The Imperial Guard alone could probably manage, right?

At least for now, everyone is still confident in the Imperial Guard, but there's always a chance of something going wrong. So how can we be absolutely sure?

Just when everyone was in a dilemma, Emperor Yan spoke up: "Let's treat each other with sincerity and not be impolite. Keep everything simple in terms of reception. If the other party doesn't like it, then don't bother. It will save everyone trouble."

"Ah, this..."

"Just say it's my decree. If you have any objections, come to me personally."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Section 177: They don't deserve it!

(Second update, comrades, where are the comments and votes? (?ω?))

The courtiers withdrew, and Emperor Yan sighed. If possible, he would not have wanted to handle things in such a humiliating way.

But there was no other way; it was a message personally passed down from our ancestors, requiring us to do it this way.

Although the ancestor is no longer in the court, his legend is still known throughout the court and the country. He doesn't speak unless he decides to do something, and even if I were the current Emperor Yan, I couldn't change that.

From an emperor's perspective, this would be extremely frustrating, likely to cause discontent, or even lead to events like the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

However, the current Yan Emperor would definitely not do that. Putting aside the strength of his ancestor, given the other party's special status, if he rushed out to beat him up, others could only watch from the sidelines, and he would have to endure it. Otherwise, he would be an unfilial descendant, a crime he could not bear. Besides, the other party usually did not interfere. This was the only time since he took the throne. The reason he was able to take the throne was because his ancestor had high hopes for him and arranged it all by himself.

It is said that having an elder in the family is like having a treasure. There must be a reason why our ancestors did this. As a younger generation, I should learn more from them. Perhaps this avatar of the Year Beast really is different.

Hmm, there must be something different. I'm suddenly a little curious about who this Liu Jiuli really is.

Just as Emperor Yan was pondering this question, Liu Jiuli was playing Go with an old man in a side hall.
