mygo, but Cthulhu

Having said that, Xian Juanxin smiled in resignation. She shook her head gently, sat down on the chair silently, opened the lunch box and started eating mechanically.

"I can't think of a solution... but I suddenly realized that the situation is not completely hopeless. All we have to do now is wait."

"wait for what?"

"Wait for my help, because if that happens, the world will be a very boring place."

A voice suddenly rang out, and Ozawa Misaki subconsciously drew her pistol and turned to point it forward. After seeing the white-haired girl in front of her, she couldn't help but frown.

"Naija Avatar? What are you doing here? None of us want to trade with you?"

"That may not be the case. You are now at an urgent time, Miss Ozer."

Miyashiro Orie laughed, and when Ozawa Misaki was about to say something more cautiously, the calm voice of Genmaki Shin suddenly came from behind her.

"Let her continue, Misaki."

"Heart……"

"I know how dangerous she is, but she's right. We can only rely on her now."

Xian Juanxin shook her head, stood up, walked to the girl, and stared into her eyes.

"Tell me, what can you give us? And what will it cost us?"

"There is no price to pay this time, Miss Xianjuan. What you paid during your resurrection is more than enough."

The girl shrugged, and Xian Juanxin couldn't help but frown. She could feel the worried glances from her friends subconsciously without turning around, but she just sighed silently and stretched out her hand to her expressionlessly.

"Then quickly give me something that can solve all this. I don't want to talk to you anymore."

"How cold, Miss Genjumaki."

The girl shrugged, complained softly, and handed the tridecahedron that appeared out of thin air to Xian Juanxin. She was stunned for a moment and her expression turned cold.

"you are

"You want me to use your power? That's simply drinking poison to quench thirst."

"It's not that direct. What I'm giving you is actually a channel, and because you are a creation of the original body, you can obtain the knowledge you need from it."

Miyashiro Orie explained softly with a smile, while raising her hand to gesture towards the strange object in her hand.

"Gaze at it for a while, Miss Xianjuan. You will get what you want, and you don't have to worry about going crazy. This is your exclusive right."

"Xin, don't listen to her! She's Naya's incarnation. There's no way she can actually help us."

At this moment, Ozawa Misaki couldn't help but speak anxiously, while Genmaki Shin was silent for a moment, sighed, and shook her head calmly at her.

"I'm sorry, Misaki, but I have to do this. We don't have any other choice right now... Believe me, I will solve this trouble."

"Heart……"

Misaki wanted to continue persuading her, but Genmaki Shin had already lowered her head and began to stare at the trapezoid. It emitted a little light in her hand, and she seemed to see something. Her pupils contracted slightly and she slowly closed her eyes.

At this moment, Misaki didn't dare to disturb her and could only hold the pistol tightly in anxiety. She waited restlessly, and she had never felt that time was so long. She felt that every minute and every second was an excruciating torture.

Finally, she saw the blonde girl open her eyes again. She looked a little dazed, and Misaki quickly rushed over to put her arm around her shoulders, asking nervously in a low voice.

"Xin, how do you feel now? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

"I...I'm fine. I've found a solution, Misaki."

Xian Juanxin shook her head slightly and gave her a relaxed smile. She quickly walked to the other side to find a dedicated blank blueprint, then picked up the complicated tools and quickly drew a huge and complete nuclear reactor on it with extremely precise movements.

She casually raised the problems that troubled many scientists, and wrote down the data that stood in the way on paper. Her movements were smooth and fluid, and in a short time she had completed this unimaginably complex blueprint. Ozawa Misaki could only watch her movements blankly, and only spoke tentatively in a low voice after she put down her pen.

"Heart, what is this?"

"The blueprint for controlled nuclear fusion is a technology that countless countries desperately desire... We now have the leverage to negotiate with them."

Chapter 300 Negotiation

"Welcome, delegates."

When the people in suits walked into the conference room, they were greeted with only these extremely bland words. They frowned and subconsciously looked up, only to see that the blonde girl was still sitting in the main seat and had no intention of standing up to shake hands with them.

"Nice to meet you, Ms. Genjumaki. We are here to learn about the current situation in Tokyo and the explanation of the recent events."

After a moment, the representative from the University of Tokyo spoke first, and Xian Juanxin nodded slightly and raised her hand to gesture to each seat.

"Please take a seat. I promise that the results of this negotiation will satisfy you."

Seeing her calm reaction, the representatives couldn't help but exchange glances with each other in surprise. After they all took their seats, the representative from Xida spoke first with an expressionless face.

"Ms. Xianjuan, first of all, I need to tell you that all of Xianjuan Group's businesses in our country need to be reviewed. If you can't let us know the truth, then your capital will not be able to protect you."

"Yes, of course I understand that. I didn't expect my influence to move everyone here this time. After all, pure capital has its limits. I know that all too well."

Xian Juanxin smiled, then raised her hand to gesture towards the folder placed in front of them.

"Please take a look, everyone. This contains the most information I've been able to gather. You don't need to worry about not being able to bring back the results... After reading this, you should be able to understand some things."

The representatives observed her expression thoughtfully while carefully flipping through the documents. What was displayed before them was the harm caused by the Blood Cross Virus and the instability of this mysterious power... but it did not contain the information they really wanted.

"With all due respect, Miss Xianjuan, there isn't much useful information here. It's more of a casualty report filled with warnings than the truth... What do you wish to tell us?"

"I simply hope you can understand that knowing is a path in itself, and in the face of this new mysterious power, even a mere understanding can lead to the spread of danger."

Xianjuanxin responded softly, and at the same time, large images of Maruyama Aya and Hikawa Hina appeared on the screen behind her. They all had an inharmonious and weird feeling, which made the representatives frown.

"These two Paspale idols unfortunately encountered an accident caused by this mysterious power, and after their death, their information was polluted. Many people saw this scene that day, and they became one of them."

"Everyone, can you imagine what would happen if this pollution became even more horrific? This photo you're seeing could become a source of pollution, and you wouldn't even realize you've been contaminated. When you return to your country, you'll cause a new round of horrific accidents... I think you definitely don't want that to happen, right?"

"So you're saying we're not capable of handling this city?"

The Peking University representative asked the question indifferently, and Xian Juanxin shrugged with a smile, her tone still calm.

"To say you have no power might be a bit of an exaggeration, but I'm certain that even if you can handle these unknown forces, you'll pay a price far greater than you imagine. Humanity's vulnerability is fully demonstrated in the face of this new kind of disaster. You might even collapse from the losses before you even gain sufficient benefits."

"Besides, even if you can truly harness this power, how can you guarantee that everyone can obtain it? You certainly wouldn't want the other party to obtain such a powerful weapon. And if a winner truly emerges, will the loser be willing to accept it?"

"..."

This time the representatives chose to remain silent. They looked at each other and could see the same tacit understanding in each other's eyes: either everyone gets it, or no one gets it.

"Modern peace depends to a large extent on a rough balance of power. This new power presents opportunities but also dangers for all countries. A situation where everyone can obtain it is unlikely to occur. If a country seizes this power, World War III may well begin."

Xian Juanxin narrated calmly and softly, while the representative from the University of Tokyo also asked calmly and deeply.

"We really can't deny what you said, but you only pointed out the problem. Do you have the ability to solve it? We all understand this, but we will still fight for it, because it's impossible to expect everyone to abide by the agreement without trying."

"That's right, Mr. Representative, and I'm going to give you a solution that you can all accept."

Xian Juanxin nodded slightly, and then the clerk next to her quickly placed the new document in front of them. After flipping through it, even people with rich experience like them couldn't help but look up at Xian Juanxin in surprise.

"Ms. Xianjuan, do you know what this plan means?"

"Of course I know that if you agree, Tokyo will become the company's territory, and all regulations restricting capital will be lifted.

All rules will be abolished, and you can allow your domestic capital to grow here and compete freely with capital from other countries... Those companies will do anything for profit, and they are your tools to eliminate risks."

Xian Juanxin raised the corner of her mouth and nodded slightly.

"There will be order here, and only then will you be willing to continue selling food here. Most people here will survive, and their lives will undergo earth-shaking changes."

"This is simply letting the company replace the government... Ms. Xianjuan, if we agree to this plan, we will be under unimaginable pressure. The people of our country will never support such a ridiculous decision."

"They don't need to know. I think you made your decision when you heard that the information could be contaminated, right?"

The blonde girl smiled.

"I know you will definitely turn this place into an information island. You will block Tokyo's connection with the outside world, send troops to occupy other parts of Japan, restrict people in Tokyo from leaving Japan, and restrict Japanese from leaving the country... I don't care about these conditions, as long as you can abide by this agreement and leave Tokyo to the company, to the capital and Xianjuan Group you have chosen."

"...If you want us to agree, you need to have sufficient leverage. We do care about each other, but if there is not enough to gain, then we can't remain patient."

After a moment of silence, one of the representatives spoke softly, and Xian Juanxin smiled as if she had expected it. She raised her hand and asked the clerk to bring a new folder. When the representatives opened it, their breathing stopped because of the words on the top.

"This is the blueprint for controlled nuclear fusion. Of course, what I've given you is only a small portion, but it's enough for your scientists to verify its authenticity."

Xian Juanxin folded her hands and spoke softly, and at this time the representatives were trembling and trying to control their emotions. They lowered their heads and tried to regulate their breathing. She also noticed this scene and her smile became even happier.

"If you agree to this plan, I will give you all a complete blueprint. I also possess even more cutting-edge technologies, and you can purchase my technology through companies established here... Of course, you will use the new currency controlled by the String Scroll Group."

"Deal, Miss Xianjuan."

Soon a representative stood up and shook hands with her. Seeing this, the other representatives sighed with mixed feelings. They all stood up and shook hands with her, took the complete blueprint she gave them and left in a hurry. Only after the door was closed did the conference room return to silence.

Xian Juanxin closed her eyes, and after a moment, she was not surprised to hear familiar footsteps.

"Misaki, you're here."

"Thank you for your hard work, Xin. It must be very troublesome to negotiate with those representatives, right?"

Misaki handed her the coffee, and the girl took a sip and shook her head.

"It's actually not bad. Their reactions were all I expected, and the whole process went smoothly... What about Kaoru and Kanon? Where are they?"

"They... have other things to do and are not available to come over for the time being."

Misaki hesitated for a moment and then responded in a low voice. Genmaki could also see the complicated expression she was trying hard to hide. After being stunned for a moment, she couldn't help but sigh.

"They don't agree with my proposal, right? So they don't want to see me now."

"That's not the case, heart."

Hearing her words, Ozawa Misaki quickly denied it and shook her head vigorously.

"Kaoru and Kanon just can't accept all this for the time being, but they can understand you. They know that if they don't do this, Tokyo will be destroyed... They just can't imagine a future where everything is controlled by the company, so they are a little depressed. They didn't come to you because they didn't want you to misunderstand them."

"That's right."

Genmaki Xin sighed softly, and Misaki hesitated for a moment. She pursed her lips, not knowing whether she should ask, but after a moment she suddenly heard Xin's calm voice.

"If you have anything to ask, just ask directly, Misaki. There's no need to worry about anything between you and me."

"...Xin, I don't mean to oppose you. I just want to know, will this plan make Tokyo a better place?"

After a moment's silence, Misaki asked softly and tentatively, while Genmaki Shin silently lowered her head to look at the coffee in her hand. She suddenly found that she could not see her reflection on the liquid surface clearly. The calm blonde girl on it looked a bit like another person.

"...At least this plan can prevent this place from being destroyed."

She gripped the cup tightly, answered softly with an emotion she herself didn't quite understand, then tilted her head back and drank the bitter coffee in one gulp, letting the self on the surface of the liquid be swallowed up.

Moreover, she can also gain more power by doing this. The Xianjuan Group will have higher technology and more powerful violence, and she will be able to master and control more.

This way, she wouldn't lose her friends again.

Chapter 301 Duohui's Thoughts

"Don't worry, her injuries are not serious. Thanks to you for bringing her here in time."

Looking at Asuka sleeping quietly on the hospital bed, Hanazono Tae spoke softly, and Toyama Kasumi also silently held her sister's hand, feeling this precious warmth.

"It's my fault. If only I hadn't wanted to go to the live show..."

"There's no use blaming yourself, Kasumi."

Duohui interrupted her calmly, and Kasumi couldn't help but be stunned at this moment. She looked at her only remaining bandmate and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Da Hui..."

"Sa Ling died trying to save me. When I woke up and heard the news, I also began to hate myself... But I gradually understood that no matter how much pain and self-blame I felt, I couldn't bring the dead back. It could only destroy our own will."

"Since Sha Ling is dead, we must fulfill her last wish. She wanted us to live a peaceful life, so we should do our best to fulfill it, so as to be worthy of her sacrifice."

"But... after the Joint Declaration was issued, we can no longer leave Tokyo. Anyone who tries to leave will be killed. Even Senior Xin can't do anything about it."

Toyama Kasumi spoke up, and Duohui nodded silently.

"Yes, you're right. We can only spend the rest of our lives in this city... Kasumi, do you know what this means?"

"I don't quite understand... Duohui, do you have any ideas?"

"I understand what's happening now. Under Senior Xin's plan, this city is about to enter an era of numerous corporations. At that time, capital will be the most powerful force. Everyone will be swept up in this city, unable to escape it on their own. We can't maintain a peaceful life on our own."

Hanazono Tae shook her head, then took out a black military uniform from a bag she was carrying and showed it to Kasumi with the redesigned Hanasakigawa logo on it.

"Kasumi, Kokoro-senpai has decided to organize Hanasakigawa into a formal action unit. I've also joined the Genmaki Group as an employee... Do you want to come along?"

"Dahui... why are you doing this? You'll always be in danger. Saaya and the others sacrificed their lives for us, yet you choose this path?"

Toyama Kasumi opened her eyes wide, looking at

She, and Duohui just shook her head.

"Kasumi, didn't I just say that? It's impossible for us to live a peaceful life on our own. Asuka's injuries will take some time to recover. We can't just rely on Kokoro-senpai's mercy and not show our value to her, right?"
