Original God, but the real world

Chapter 123 122-Doing something wrong
The development of the story was probably within Jiang Qing's expectations.

Even though he wasn't in Inazuma City, he knew everyone's status and what they wanted.

Knowing this, it is not difficult to guess what happened in Inazuma Castle.

Of course, the cooperation between Kujo Takayuki and the Fatui was something he couldn't possibly know.

Jiang Qing had some guesses, but he had no way of getting evidence.

Ying's experience was somewhat commonplace and completely within expectations.

Ganyu took her to skip all the steps and directly completed the final mission of meeting the Thunder God.

Skipping a level doesn't mean you'll get stuck.

Ordinary adventures will hide certain props in the levels to complete the final mission, but Ying's goal is to contact the gods to obtain information, and meeting the Thunder God is just the beginning of her mission.

The evidence he used to determine that something was wrong in Inazuma Castle was not complicated.

"Kujo Sara appeared at the front line." Goro looked nervous.

During this time, he and Jiang Qing became friends.

Because Jiang Qing demonstrated his strength.

Only then did Wu Lang realize how foolish it was to think that keeping a certain distance was enough.

Jiang Qing is indeed an exception.

His combat experience was indeed mediocre, but the elemental forces he controlled and his physical fitness were indeed at the same level as Goro's.

He uses a one-handed sword, and the Eye of God is the element of lightning.

At that distance, even if he had no experience, one strike of the sword would be enough to kill Wu Lang.

With equal military strength, Jiang Qing's previous arrangements finally became truly useful.

Wulang soon regarded him as a close friend.

This is the true meaning of making friends.

Either you and he have similar interests and you can have fun getting along with each other.

Either he has the same ability as you and you can get help from him for the future.

It is difficult for Jiang Qing to share the same interests with Wu Lang.

Goro is a general of the resistance army, and everything in his life is tied to Kaijima.

Even though it was a job like fighting against the shogunate, which seemed to have no future or prospects, he still chose to devote himself to it wholeheartedly.

The rebels were just a springboard in Jiang Qing's plan. He did not have any higher expectations for this springboard, nor did he think of sacrificing this springboard in his plan.

This means that the two of them cannot be said to have opposing positions, but they are not like-minded either.

Fortunately, he is very useful, so Goro is willing to be friends with him.

"Is there no other famous general in the shogunate?" Jiang Qing raised his eyebrows, "Or do you only know Kujo Sara?"

In such a huge shogunate, it is impossible that there is only one capable person, Kujo Sara, right?

There are so many five-star and four-star characters in the Knights Templar, and there are also many wish characters in the Seven Stars and Eight Gates.

You can't say that the shogunate only has the shogun and Kujo Sara, right?

Wu Lang looked embarrassed.

"You should be clear about this kind of thing... If there is a first, who can see the second?"

Kujo Sara's reputation is too great.

With the support of the Kujo family, she had no so-called competitors and was in a unique position among the generals of the shogunate.

The first place is so eye-catching that few people will pay attention to the so-called second place.

And it's not necessary.

It is no exaggeration to say that nine saras are more than enough.

She had led the shogunate army to defeat the rebels several times and kept the war contained on Yami Island.

Connect the route that the resistance army must take into a straight line, starting from Kaijima, Yae Island and Kamnozuka, and finally reaching Narukami Island.

The Kujo Jinya in Kannazuka was the camp of the shogunate army.

The rebel camp was opposite the Himuk Village, facing each other across the narrow gap of the Wuxiang Blade.

The one who provided the shogunate with weapons resources [Tama Steel], Mikage Rushin, is still working even now.

Yayu Island can be considered the front line of the war. After all, the official battlefield between the two sides is at Nashiki Beach.

A little behind Mingzhui Beach is Tadingsha and its time bomb [Yuyingluxin].

In the plot, [Mikage Rushin] introduces another key character, Tadashi Monogatari.

Judging from the results, this is another problem that only Ying can solve.

The problem with [御影炉心] can be fixed, but the people behind it are the Fatui.

The shogunate knew that there was a problem with the [Gokage Rushin], and the Narukami Taisha Shrine also sent a shrine maiden to pay attention to the matter.

But it was no use.

The temporary person in charge of this matter, Lord Fan Bingwei, used a very simple reason to reject everyone.

"I've already dealt with it."

But this matter is really too troublesome, so I will first ask the bigwigs of the shogunate for advice on what to do.

Because I asked, I couldn't do anything until they told me how to act.

It’s not because I’m afraid of death and don’t want to get into trouble.

It was because he was incompetent and afraid that his crude operation would affect the arrangements of these important people.

Personal life and death, personal honor and disgrace are actually trivial matters.

But because I would delay the important affairs of the shogunate, I dare not do so.

This is a good reason indeed.

Later, this seemingly slow-looking Lord Fan Bingwei was promoted on the spot, and he could even be seen in Xumi later on.

From a player's perspective, this guy is a complete jerk.

He was clearly the only person who could be held responsible, and the craftsman had clearly explained the consequences, but he still said, "I'm already dealing with it."

When I was asked how I dealt with it, I actually wrote the application - damn, I'm about to explode, what are you still applying for?

But judging from the results, Fan Bingwei really didn't want to be a foolish person - after all, he did get a promotion and a raise, and after all, he really couldn't solve this problem.

If he had listened to the advice of his subordinates or the witch, he would have hurried to check the situation.

He couldn't withstand the thunderstorm, nor could he withstand the tricks of the Fatui.

By doing nothing, he at least had a chance to survive.

And meeting someone like Ying who saves the world while being a wanted criminal is even more fortunate.

I didn't do anything, and the trouble disappeared.

perfect.

This is not a stupid man, on the contrary, he is a smart man.

Jiang Qing didn't have much impression of Fan Bingwei, he mainly remembered the [Imperial Shadow Furnace Heart].

He didn't quite understand what the Fatui, a group of lunatics, wanted to do, but they had already turned the [Imperial Shadow Furnace] into a time bomb.

Now Yingke has no chance to come over to Talingsha to clean up this thing.

How long will it take for the Fatui to completely destroy this thing?
It won’t be long anyway.

Let’s bring this process forward.

During the entire war, the [Gokage Furnace Core] installed on the Kamishima Tomb was actually very close to the front line of the war.

Even so, [Imperial Shadow Furnace Heart] never stopped.

It's still running at full capacity, working for Inazuma.

The shogunate is not afraid of a sneak attack here at all.

The reason they were so confident was naturally because the rebels did not have the ability to cross the Nashiki Beach.

"I can understand that." Jiang Qing sighed, "The resistance army has not even seen [Goei Rushin] yet. This shogunate general is indeed very capable."

If we really say that it is a question of Kujo Sara's ability, then that is not entirely true.

With the strength of the Shogunate, any normal person could easily defeat them if they didn’t have any bad teammates.

It was obvious that Kujo Takayuki surrounded the rebels but did not kill them, and was keeping them here.

But it is obviously impossible for the rebels to go further.

He keeps the rebels for profit, but if the rebels win, he will appear incompetent.

Just because he didn't report some intelligence doesn't mean the general doesn't know about it.

It’s okay if you can’t win, but it’s not okay if you lose.

Goro lowered his head.

As a man from Inazuma, he certainly knew the reputation of [御影炉心].

This special structure, placed on the Tadashi Sand, can produce [Tama Steel], which is the shogunate's most outstanding sword-forging material.

However, in times of war, this forge, which was almost next to the front line, never stopped working and did not take the threat of the rebels seriously at all.

It's a bit embarrassing indeed.

"Kujo Sara is indeed a tough enemy," he had to admit, "but the resistance army has also had a lot of good seedlings recently."

At this point, Goro's voice couldn't help but sound somewhat relieved.

"The strength of these people has almost suddenly increased significantly. They are so strong that they can completely crush ordinary shogunate warriors."

In a cold weapon war, a soldier who can crush his opponent in a one-on-one fight is a rare elite.

Normally, people wouldn't fight each other for dozens of moves - swords and knives would be drawn, and the winner would be decided quickly.

But this is not because of the difference in strength, but because there is no such thing as a one-on-one fight on the battlefield.

It is impossible to give you enough time to figure out the opponent's numbers and abilities. You can only try your best to kill the enemy in front of you and then face the next enemy.

Everyone’s strength is similar, but no one has much time to defend.

So they fight for life and death, and decide the winner as quickly as possible so that they can deal with new enemies.

The crushing that Goro mentioned meant that the opponent was fully capable of killing directly and then was fully prepared to deal with the next enemy.

This is not due to the environment, but is actually a suppression of numerical abilities.

"Do you think this is normal?" Jiang Qing was a little surprised.

"Of course not." Goro suppressed his excitement, "You have personally charged twice, so you should be aware of the gap in strength between us and the shogunate."

Even if he was a general of the resistance army, Goro couldn't force himself to say that everyone's strength was almost the same.

"These people suddenly achieved incomprehensible military exploits. I don't doubt their abilities, but to be honest, it's impossible."

Goro said.

Based on his understanding of the abilities of these soldiers, they shouldn't have behaved like this unless they suddenly gained the Eye of God.

A person's ability has long been revealed in the records in the military camp.

The number of enemies he killed suddenly increased exponentially, and his strength seemed to have increased nearly tenfold. Anyone should know that there was something wrong with him.

In this case, he has either colluded with the enemy or someone is trying to support him to take power.

Or he started cheating and became unreasonable.

For example, the Eye of God.

People's physical fitness and skills cannot be faked.

Since his physical fitness could not be improved suddenly, even if he changed from an ordinary person to a [Menkyo Kaiden] of a certain Inazuma school, it would be impossible for him to kill people indiscriminately in an environment like a battlefield.

On the battlefield, he has to face not just one or two knives, or one or two arrows.

Anyone who stands out in this place will have to face the most enemies.

Of course Goro can.

He is a great general, and when he exerts his strength to the fullest, there are always people around him ready to serve as his shield.

But who would serve as a shield for an ordinary soldier?
Besides, it would be fine if there were one or two sword masters, but if everyone fought with swords for a few days, would they all become sword masters?
Even if Wu Lang was crazy, he would not think that all the soldiers under his command were such geniuses.

So the only possibility is that these people have acquired some kind of "special abilities".

Dozens of people gained similar special abilities at the same time, and Goro knew with his knees that there must be a problem.

He has been observing the other party, but has not gained anything so far.

It was not easy for Goro to directly say to these subordinates who had made great military achievements, "I doubt your strength. I think it is impossible for you to achieve such military achievements with your abilities. You should be hacked to death by the shogunate's soldiers. This is normal."

You should tell me the truth as soon as possible, and don't let me continue thinking and investigating... It is difficult for a human to say such words.

So he could only investigate privately.

But it's of no use.

Jiang Qing had a look of sympathy on his face.

Judging from subsequent results, the rebels are no different from sieves to the Fatui.

Goro couldn't get an answer until the Fatui covered up and the aftereffects of the evil eye took effect.

These people almost actively cover up.

Jiang Qing has already thought of the reason.

"The evil eye will consume your life, but the heart of the Coral Palace will definitely stop you."

"Now you can choose for yourself. Will you use your life to exchange for dozens of shogunate warriors and protect your country? Or will you give up the evil eye and be killed by the shogunate warriors?"

The Fatui don't even need to hide anything. Just tell them the truth directly and they probably won't refuse.

Not to mention Wu Lang, even Coral Palace Xinhai couldn't get an answer from them.

Because it is their own lives that are being sacrificed, few soldiers who join the resistance army care about their own lives.

Their only pain is that their death is almost worthless. Even if they have strong wills, they can never overcome the iron-hard reality.

The evil eye is their only way to change reality.

The gods never showed mercy to them and gave them the eyes of God.

The fools are willing to give them a chance to make their lives a little more valuable.

Even though they know that the Fatui are taking advantage of them, aren't they just happy to do so?
Once they realize how vulnerable they are to fate, they will not care about life or death.

Life and death are no trivial matters, but once a person has stepped onto the battlefield, there are always things more important than his own life and death.

Jiang Qing hesitated for a rare moment.

Wu Lang noticed Jiang Qing's hesitation and felt a little relieved.

So, this may not be a purely bad thing.

Jiang Qing still needs the resistance army. If it is a bad thing, he has no reason not to speak out.

He also needs to use himself to restrain Lord Coral Palace at certain critical moments.

Wu Lang certainly knew Jiang Qing's purpose.

He valued Jiang Qing's strength and was optimistic about Jiang Qing's ability, so he came here every day as a general to chat with an "ordinary soldier".

But Jiang Qing is not from Haizhi Island.

He is willing to bear the identity of an ordinary soldier, so how could he be planning to fight to the death for the rebels?

Wu Lang knew what Jiang Qing wanted, which was why he was willing to share the information.

To be friends, you have to have both fun and ability.

Jiang Qing also knew that behind Wu Lang was Coral Palace Xinhai.

If Wu Lang knew, it would be equivalent to Coral Palace Xinhai knowing, but this did not affect his plan to interfere with Coral Palace Xinhai through Wu Lang.

Everyone has their own thoughts and is preparing towards their own goals.

"It's the fools."

He still didn't remain silent.

Let’s give it a try... This time, our goal is to start with the scattered soldiers.

If he is also someone with whom you can communicate, then things will be much simpler.

The risk is just a bit too high.

That's okay.

"Fools?"

Goro began to think in his mind.

His knowledge of the Fatui was somewhat limited.

This is simply a historical legacy.

After the Eastern Expedition, although General Raiden did not directly destroy Kaijima, Kaijima had to submit to the shogunate because of the general's divine power.

As the defeated party, and the party that lost God.

Kaizhi Island had to reduce its own beliefs, and for a period of time, the Coral Palace could not even appear openly to rule Kaizhi Island.

The people of Kaijima at that time were nominally Inazuma people, so naturally they had to accept the jurisdiction of the shogunate.

But the people from the shogunate will not be serious.

They had no concern for the future of Kaijima, and not a single resource from the shogunate would be poured into the development of Kaijima.

In other words, apart from their nominal subordination, everyone is still an enemy in reality.

It was impossible for the shogunate to manage Kaijima with all its heart.

Because they were enemies with swords at the beginning, but they won.

Even though the general's attitude was unclear, they still chose to restrict the development of Haizhi Island.

Over the years, the development of Haizhi Island has probably been regressing.

This has nothing to do with the priestess of the Coral Palace lineage.

With limited resources and development being constrained, any method the witches use will be of no use.

In the territory of Inazuma, as long as they submitted to the shogunate, the shogunate would always be able to find a way to control their development channels.

People who are troubled by life naturally have no desire to learn about the outside world.

Naturally, there was no way to arouse any curiosity in the Fatui, an organization that had nothing to do with Kaijima.

If anything, Kaijima was almost a remote place deliberately left behind by the shogunate, with no room for development at all.

"It's the Evil Eye." Jiang Qing said, "A tool similar to the Eye of God that consumes people's vitality in exchange for a short burst of strength."

Goro took a deep breath.

He hasn't figured out the evil eye yet, but he already knows why so many geniuses suddenly emerged in the resistance.

A genius who is good at making money.

"Will you stop them?"

Jiang Qing suddenly asked.

In the game, Coral Palace Xinhai decisively chose to stop the circulation of the Evil Eye among the resistance forces.

This is a compassionate suggestion.

But seriously, she was doing it wrong.
