As a traitor, I should raise the banner of rebellion

Of course, in addition to infiltrating the Konoe family, Yuanhui was not idle during these three days.

Experiments in all but the most central laboratories have been halted.

Even the materials sent to the central laboratory were replaced with "fakes" made by the Blood Field that were indistinguishable from the real thing.

Yuanhui tried his best to save the "Buddha's disciples", or "materials" that were abducted by the Konoe family.

In fact, the thousands of people in the attic are not so difficult to deal with.

Even if he was locked up for a long time, he would only be on the brink of madness.

On the side of the Konoe family, there is a monster that has the ability to detect and soothe the mind.

This was originally intended to maintain the psychological state of the material so that it would not collapse under excessive torture, but at this moment, it finally played the role it was supposed to play.

But for those 'materials' that have been sent to the laboratory and 'processed', it is not so easy to make them 'return to their original state'.

Destruction is always easier than reconstruction.

This sentence applies in any field.

If it is just a physical defect, it can be repaired by a monster like the spirit of Takakura Asada that can control the body.

But the problem is that the hearts of these victims have almost reached a point of no return.

Especially those who have made it to the final stage.

The excessive and prolonged pain has completely torn their hearts apart.

While the Konoe family used extremely cruel methods to eliminate their fear of death, they also eliminated their longings, hopes, love and all kinds of beautiful emotions.

They have even lost the ability to understand.

The reason why they are considered to have reached the 'final step' is that at this point they cannot even comprehend pain and happiness.

Although they will still respond to external stimuli, it is only an instinctive reaction.

It's like the echo that comes from the rock wall when you shout loudly in a valley.

Their hearts are as empty as a valley.

These beings are only one step away from becoming Buddha, and Yuanhui really has no confidence in bringing them back to the human world.

But it doesn’t matter, there is still plenty of time to come.

After this space fell into Yuanhui's hands, Yuanhui planned to keep it intact, at least on the surface.

Not only the Konoe family, but also the royal family of Sakurajima, or the Emperor himself, is actually quite concerned about its progress. Otherwise, he would not have sent special envoys from time to time to inquire about the progress of the [Artificial Buddha].

Once this technology has a breakthrough, it will become an extremely important political asset for Sakurajima and can be used to exchange for some convenient rights or technologies with other countries.

Now is not the time to go to war with the Sakurajima royal family.

At least he had to wait until he rescued his mother and that monster who had lived for hundreds of years could no longer threaten him with Princess Mako's safety.

Before that, I have to quietly accumulate strength to give my "uncle" a big surprise...

Because of this, Yuanhui is not going to take away the weirdness here.

Unlike ordinary people, the Sakurajima royal family is extremely sensitive to the number of soul binders.

Every time he comes to inspect the progress, the special envoy will also confirm whether the number of Soul Binders has increased or decreased.

Soul Binders are extraordinary beings with incredible abilities, so it's natural that the Sakurajima royal family would be extremely nervous about them.

On the surface, it remains the same as before, but in reality, it has become a sanatorium that heals the body and soul.

This is Yuanhui’s plan for the future of this alien space.

However, all this naturally has nothing to do with the distorted face of Konoe Tominaga.

At this moment, he was suffering from the pain of a part of his soul being torn apart.

But this kind of pain is nothing compared to the heartache of having one's life goal completely destroyed.

"…From what I did, it was indeed an unbearable evil." Suppressing the pain, Konoe Tominaga, who had nothing left, forced out the words.

"But the development of science always requires this kind of [necessary evil]."

"In order to advance medicine, doctors in the Middle Ages would even steal corpses at night for dissection."

"Although what we did was a little cruel, in essence, there is no difference between the two."

Konoe Tominaga was not begging Minamoto to spare his life.

Although Yuan Hui did not emanate any murderous intent, he knew that it was simply impossible as long as he thought about it.

He was just praying to Yuanhui not to let the hundreds of years of hard work of the Jinwei family go to waste.

"We have clearly found the right direction. Although the process is a bit cruel, as long as we understand the principle, this cruelty can be optimized."

"Many technologies that were originally extremely cruel have finally been accepted by the public as technology has advanced..."

"They can all do it, so why can't the [Artificial Buddha] technology do it?"

Because he was trying hard to suppress the pain, Konoe Tominaga's voice became extremely trembling.

"Humanity will eventually defeat death. If you stop this plan, I don't know how many people will indirectly die at your hands in the future."

"You will be a sinner to all mankind!"

Konoe Tominaga felt the boy's eyes were focused on him again.

And after that, he discovered with great despair that the cold determination in the boy's eyes did not waver even a little.

Looking at the dying old man in front of him, Yuanhui curled up a sarcastic smile.

"I've seen a lot of people like you, and they're even a little boring to me."

"Striving for the future of all mankind? That's ridiculous." The young man sneered. "It's okay to lie to yourself, but it's a bit ridiculous to say it out loud, isn't it?"

"You just thought that since you were going to die anyway, you had to put on a noble veneer to cover up your behavior, and at the same time acted nonchalant and fearless to others."

"In the end, I even deceived myself. It's so sad."

Yuanhui walked slowly to the front of the old man, then slowly squatted down, looking down at the soul that had committed the crime of forgiveness.

"What is this called? When a man is about to die, his words are kind?"

"People like you will repent once they realize that they will inevitably die; but if they regain hope of living, they will continue to be shameless."

"A person like you still wants to be on par with Sakyamuni and become the Buddha that people talk about?"

"Don't keep saying things like that to make me laugh."

Genki's words were like a sharp sword that pierced through Kin'e Tominaga's soul.

He wanted to open his mouth to refute, but he couldn't do it.

Because a part of his heart also agreed with the boy's words.

"In the final analysis, your reasons are totally untenable."

"What do you mean by 'having found the right direction'? How dare you say that? Forget about any decent results. You haven't even seen the shadow of 'Buddha'."

"In this case, don't flatter yourself."

While Chikae Tominaga was making him feel ashamed, Yuanhui suddenly changed the subject and said -

"However, even if what you said is true, I will stop you without hesitation."

"?!!Why……"

"That's because, of course—"

"I don't like it." Yuan Hui said in a very relaxed tone, "So, I have to stop it."

“!!! You...you..." Konoe Tominaga glared at the boy in front of him.

It is easy to make judgments based solely on personal preferences and then take action.

Such reckless behavior not only made Konoe Tominaga angry, but also made him feel a chilling fear.

The two emotions entangled on his tongue, making it impossible for him to utter a complete sentence.

As if seeing through Konoe Tominaga's thoughts, Yuanhui chuckled and said -

"I never said I was a partner of justice, did I?"

That’s right, Yuanhui has never boasted about his own justice.

Because he never considered himself to be on the righteous side.

"I just--"

"Just the nemesis of evil."

Evil is evil.

The so-called "necessary evil" is not a valid concept at all.

After that, Yuanhui lost interest in continuing to talk to the old man.

He stood up and walked out of the room.

Behind him, the 'demon' made from Konoe Tominaga's son deeply engraved its teeth on Konoe Tominaga's neck...

……

……

"Tama." Standing at the top of the attic, Yuanhui looked down at the space that was completely under his control, and silently called Tamamonomae's name in his heart.

'you……'

"Is it possible that he deliberately led me to this space?"

86. She is my mother, but she calls me dad. Is that right?

"Xiaoyu, you must have deliberately led me to this space, right?"

When Yuanhui asked this question in his mind, the metal pendant on his chest flashed, and then Tamamonomae's response sounded in his mind -

'That's right.'

She actually admitted it so easily.

"This is where the Konoe family researches [Artificial Buddha]. Although it is not within the scope of my sister-in-law's foresight, the possibility of Princess Mako being here is actually very low, or almost impossible."

After all, Mako is a princess of the royal family. No matter how unpopular she is, she will not fall to the point of becoming research material.

The environment of this space is not suitable for imprisonment.

'But I still decided to bring you here first, for three main reasons.'

"First, this is the easiest place to get to. As long as you take the Kisaragi Train, you will be automatically transported here."

"As for me, although it is not easy for you to hide the rules of the [Kirsukuri Train], I can still find a way to do it. "

'The second reason is that you can obtain the strangeness of the [Kiragi Train] here.'

'This monster has the ability to build passages between different spaces and travel freely.'

"As long as you can control this weirdness, you will have a ticket to the weirdness of other spaces."

Tamamonomae's two reasons sound quite sufficient.

But then—

'Of course, these two reasons sound reasonable, but they are not necessary.'

She overturned what she had just said.

"I just wanted you to take a look at it, my king."

"That monster treats its people in this way."

The Konoe family is the promoter of the [Artificial Buddha] technology, and what this family has done can indeed be described as unforgivable.

However, this family is not the 'main culprit'.

The one who actually prompted the Konoe family to research this technology and allowed them to abduct people all over this island country was the monster who had been lingering at the highest position on Sakurajima for nearly a thousand years.

"King," Tamamonomae whispered in Genki's heart, "Although you have never denied this title, it is very clear that in your heart, you do not have the desire to become a king."

Become the master of others and let them serve you...
