I said you are all war criminals

In this case, Hakuno is in a dilemma whether to watch the simulator or not.

"No! I want to see what other tricks Ichili can come up with in this simulator!"

Hakuno found a can of beer and opened the simulator.

The screen lit up, but the familiar interface didn't appear. Instead, a vast expanse of starry sky appeared. Countless stars twinkled brilliantly, seemingly close at hand, yet also far away.

"What the hell is this? Is the simulator updated?"

Bai Ye was stunned for a moment, but before he could react, the scene changed and a huge monster occupied the entire screen.

It was a massive space station, all silvery white, brimming with a sci-fi feel. Countless lights twinkled across its surface, like an artificial star, gleaming brightly in the universe.

The picture zoomed in again, and Bai Ye saw a familiar figure standing on the space station - that's right, this person was not wearing a spacesuit.

One mile.

She was wearing a white uniform and looking out into space.

The simulator typed out a line of large characters at the right moment.

【Nine years later.】

【Goto Ichiri, 29 years old.】

【The unknown king of the world. 】

Hakuno: Yes, that's exactly what I want to see. Let me see what war crimes Ichiri committed!

When Shoko Toyokawa first took office as Prime Minister of Japan, although Japan's economy was exceptionally developed, it was isolated by other countries due to its not particularly advantageous geographical location and the unique nature of its economy.

【In her third year in office, all of Asia became Japan's ally.】

【In the seventh year, even the United States joined the alliance.】

【Ninth year.】

【The world is in Goto Ichiri's hands.】

[Every adult has a job. This job may not be his favorite job, but it is definitely not a job he hates, and the salary can definitely support a normal hobby.]

[Every minor should have at least one friend with whom they can share any secrets that are difficult to tell others, and with whom they can play any games that will not affect others.]

Everyone has eight hours of sleep, eight hours of recreation, and eight hours of work every day. There are three days off per week and at least forty days of public holidays per year.

Every family can afford at least two properties: one in the city center with convenient transportation and convenient for work and study; the other in the suburbs with beautiful scenery, suitable for vacation and leisure.

【Every city has a complete public transportation system. Whether it is the subway, bus or light rail, you can get to any place you want to go within ten minutes.】

All schools offer free education, from kindergarten to university. Students can choose their study direction based on their interests and strengths, without having to worry about tuition and living expenses.

All hospitals provide free medical services. Whether it's a major illness or a minor one, everyone can get timely and effective treatment. People no longer have to worry about the difficulty and high cost of seeing a doctor.

All parks are open to the public free of charge. They are shaded by green trees and blooming flowers, where people can fully enjoy the beauty of nature.

All public places are equipped with clean and tidy toilets, and there are never any queues.

The air is fresh, the sky is blue, there is no smog, no pollution, and it is sunny every day.

People's faces are filled with happy smiles, they get along with each other in a friendly manner, help each other, there is no crime, no war, the world is peaceful, and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment.

[The "Quincy Project for All Humanity," which was secretly implemented around the world, doubled everyone's lifespan.]

Bai Ye rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what he saw.

"Is this...is this really a simulator? Is this really not heaven?"

He muttered to himself, feeling as if he were in a dream.

【Goto Ichiri never thought that he would become such a person. 】

【She was once just an ordinary girl who loved rock music. 】

But she is now the king of the world.

She never set out to conquer the world.

She just wants everyone to be like her, to enjoy life to the fullest and pursue their dreams.

She succeeded.

She created a world without pain, without sorrow, and without despair.

A perfect world.

Bai Ye stared blankly at the screen, feeling mixed emotions.

I... this is not what I want to see...

Bad.

Hakuno suddenly collapsed onto the bed, feeling nauseous, as if he'd swallowed a live fly. What the hell was this? He'd been looking forward to seeing Goto Ichiri rule the world with an iron fist, maneuvering political tactics, and... in short, some dark, adrenaline-pumping operation. The result? A harmonious society where everyone lived and worked in peace and contentment. It was more childish than kindergarteners playing house!

"Goto Ichiri, damn it, are you the reincarnation of the Virgin Mary?"

Hakuno cursed under his breath, walked over to the refrigerator, and took a big gulp of cold beer.

"Now that the world is at peace, what else can I have fun with?"

Bai Ye became angrier the more he thought about it, and the beer he drank was like adding fuel to the fire.

"...By the way, this simulator also has the Grim Reaper!"

After drinking, Bai Ye sobered up a little.

In this simulation, Soul Society also exists. Regardless, the relationship between the Shinigami and the Quincies is far from perfect—seeing Goto Ichiri establish the Quincy Empire, the Shinigami are bound to do something!

Hakuno opened the simulator and continued watching.

[The non-aggression pact between the Shinigami and the Quincies has been in place for nine years.]

Hakuno: Huh?

Hakuno narrowed his eyes, staring intently at the text displayed on the simulator screen, as if trying to punch a hole through it. The words, written in black and white, clearly read: [The non-aggression pact between Shinigami and Quincies has been signed for nine years.]

Nine years! What had he missed in these nine years?

What about the rivers of blood and mountains of corpses and seas of gore that he imagined?

Where is the epic battle and earth-shaking conspiracy that he is looking forward to?

It's all gone!

"Are you fucking kidding me?"

Bai Ye scratched his hair fiercely, feeling like a fool. He took a gulp of beer, the acrid liquid flowing down his throat, but it couldn't quench the rage burning in his heart.

"Goto Ichiri, you damn pacifist! Don't they say pink cut black? Where's your black filling!"

He paced back and forth irritably, muttering, "Nine years... nine years... are these Shinigami just here to eat? Even with Yhwach riding on their faces, they still managed to swallow their anger and sign the treaty? Is this still the Gotei 13 I know? A bunch of cowards!"

As if to deliberately provoke him, the simulator continued to display the following content:

After the treaty was signed, relations between Soul Society and the living world improved significantly. Shinigami regularly visited the human world to assist Quincy in handling paranormal incidents and maintaining social order. Every year during the Obon Festival, the Shinigami held a grand "Soul Exchange Meeting," inviting Quincy representatives to visit Soul Society and enhance mutual understanding.

"Exchange meeting? Visit?"

Bai Ye felt like he was about to vomit blood.

"This sounds like a tour group's itinerary, not a job for a Shinigami! Do they have any professional ethics left? A Shinigami's job is to maintain the balance between life and death, not diplomacy!"

A direct gate has even been opened between Seireitei and Tokyo, and every year, a large number of Shinigami descend upon the human world to enjoy the sights and delicacies. Quincies even have a "One-Day Trip to Soul Society" program during their annual vacations.

Hakuno slumped down in his chair, feeling completely defeated. He groaned weakly, "A day trip to Soul Society? What the hell is that? They should just turn Seireitei into a theme park! And a day trip with food and lodging included?"

He almost laughed out loud when he imagined Ichigo Kurosaki wearing a tour guide uniform, holding a small flag, and leading a group of chattering tourists to visit the Soul Society. This picture was too funny, an insult to the profession of the God of Death!

"There's definitely something wrong with this simulator!"

Hakuno stood up suddenly and shouted, pointing at the screen.

"This is not what I want at all! Goto Ichiri, come out here! I want to have a good talk with you!"

[This feature is not available on the simulator.]

"Then come and tell me!"

Bai Ye was extremely angry.

"We agreed that Yili and I would each take half of the simulator. Where's my share?"

【In this simulation, Goto Ichiri's composition is approximately 45% Hakuno and 55% Goto Ichiri.】

The simulator continued.

[Or, you could understand it this way. The Goto Ichiri in the simulation is the Goto Ichiri who uses Hakuno's methods... She is still Goto Ichiri.]

"What kind of a name is this, Hakuno Ichiri?"

Hakuno fell to his knees and pounded the ground, "This is completely different from what I thought!"

The coolness of the floor penetrated his skin through the thin fabric of his clothes, but it could not cool the frustration boiling in his heart. His carefully planned "Hakuno Ichiri" plan was like a balloon full of hope, ruthlessly punctured by a sharp needle called "pacifism", and with a puff, it disappeared into thin air.

"45% Hakuno, 55% Goto Ichiri... what the hell is this!"

He cursed under his breath, his voice muffled, as if coming from underground. He had imagined Hakuno Ichiri to be decisive and ruthless, yet with a touch of his own cunning and humor. Not this... the reincarnation of the Virgin Mary!

"...Never mind, let's just check on Nijigaoka again. Since Ichiri has taken control of the entire world, he should know where Ichichi Nijigaoka is, right?"

Bai Ye wiped his face and regained his spirits.

Shiro took a deep breath and typed "Ichichi Hongxia" into the simulator's search bar. The screen flickered, and a stream of messages popped up. He quickly scanned them, his frown gradually relaxing.

The simulator showed Ijichi Nikka, 29, as a drummer. She formed a band called "Crimson Beats," which performed at livehouses throughout Tokyo, gaining some fame and even releasing an independent EP. The accompanying image showed a photo of Nikka, seated on the drums, beaming brightly at the camera, radiating energy.

Bai Ye couldn't help but laugh too. He seemed to be able to hear Hong Xia's powerful shout under the beating of the drums.

"This is her..."

Bai Ye murmured to himself. Even if the band didn't end, Hong Xia could still live well without him. He knew she had always been strong.

The simulator continued to play a video of a Crimson Beats performance. On stage, Hong Xia, wielding her drumsticks, radiant and completely immersed in the world of music. The audience's cheers and applause became the background music that enhanced her brilliance.

"Great, great..."

Bai Ye's eyes filled with tears.

If Hongxia collapsed early, then Baiye's simulation would be really miserable... But then again, there is nothing in this simulation that would make Hongxia collapse.

"Since Hongxia is still normal, I can start the operation!"

Hakuno rubbed his hands together, "Go meet Hongxia, Ichiri!"

He didn't destroy his character and start causing trouble directly. Instead, he began to investigate whether there was anything that could be used as a spark to start a war. Bai Ye knew that inexplicable destruction would not hurt people...it was the thought of "I could have stopped it" that could hurt people the most.

After hearing Bai Ye's words, the simulator began to play the images.

Goto Ichiri took a step forward and jumped directly from the space station toward the Earth.

[If she did this in a space without gravity, she should have just been floating in space—but, Ichiri ignored the gravity and fell straight towards the earth.]

【This--】

"and many more!"

Hakuno reached out and paused the simulation.

"I remember this was supposed to be a text simulation, right? Why did it become an animation now?"

【Because this is a cutscene.】

The simulator replied.

Chapter 158: Yidizhi Hongxia no longer looks to the future.

In Tokyo early in the morning, sunlight streamed onto the streets, and pedestrians hurried past, beginning a new day. Rubbing her sleepy eyes, Ijichi Hongka climbed out of bed. As usual, she glanced at her phone: it was five in the morning.

"Only slept for six hours again..."

Hongxia went to the kitchen and made herself a cup of instant coffee.

This was her third consecutive week of only six hours of sleep. Ever since Crimson Beats became popular, performance invitations had increased, and rehearsals were getting longer and longer. Although exhausting, Hongxia relished it. She loved playing the drums, being on stage, enjoying the spotlight and the cheers.

…If it weren’t for the glitter, she wouldn’t have wanted to form a band in the first place.
