Original God, but the real world

Chapter 126 125-Movement
As for how long the Fatui can keep the matter of the Evil Eye secret, no one thinks the resistance will never discover it.

The basic ability value of a soldier is here. If more than ten people are killing indiscriminately on the battlefield at the same time like Wu Le, any commander would feel that something is wrong.

He had one or two brave generals under his command who could make him laugh out loud even when he was asleep.

All the powerful subordinates came out together... Who could not sense that there was something wrong?

But the fools were not alarmed.

Because their methods are reasonable.

No matter what, these people's military achievements were achieved through their own sword and gun fights.

The Evil Eye is just a weapon after all. Without these people to drive the weapon, the Evil Eye can't kill people by itself - oh, that's fine.

The evil eye drains your life force. Using the evil eye is like committing suicide.

It can be said that the evil eye killed someone himself.

Putting aside this rather ridiculous statement, given the current situation of the rebels, there is no reason for them to treat their own people harshly.

The rebels would never rashly doubt these meritorious soldiers.

The evil eye can only improve their strength, but it is of no help for things that require thinking, such as military logic.

In other words, these people's military achievements were purely achieved by fighting bravely in front of their colleagues.

It is really disheartening that the weaker party would actively doubt such a warrior.

Besides, if they don't confess, the rebels cannot resort to brutal torture.

But even so, everyone thinks it is natural for the evil eye to be discovered.

It's just a matter of time.

But in the end, the Fatui officers in charge of this place never imagined that the rebels had discovered the Evil Eye, and they came to their door to ask for more Evil Eyes and supplies.

"You said that the Coral Palace Xinhai ordered a prisoner to come here and asked us to provide a batch of evil eyes and supplies?"

The officer spoke with some surprise.

"Yes." The debt collector nodded slightly, "She said that if the Fatui don't support her quickly, she will expose this matter."

Wu Lang didn't expect that although Coral Palace Xinhai spoke to him very nicely, when he got to the other party's place, he came up and asked for things.

Asking for...this is not something the weaker party can ask for, right?
"Can the people we have threaten the heart of Coral Palace?" asked the officer.

"There is hope." The debt collector said in a low voice, "Her ability is more auxiliary. If we don't care about the cost, there is indeed a chance to assassinate her."

“But the cost will be great.”

He asked about threats, and the other party answered about assassination.

This is certainly not because the debt handler did not understand what Shangguan meant, but mainly because his answer was also an answer.

The meaning of threat is to intimidate without killing, to make the other party understand your intention and do things according to your will.

But there is no way to threaten.

A person will only be threatened by things he cares about, which objectively speaking are nothing more than power and relatives and friends.

Coral Palace Xinhai is the [present-day divine priestess] of this generation of Kaijima. To be frank, she is not a king, but the people of Kaijima are naturally her subjects.

Power comes from the status of a witch. Unless the Fatui can destroy the faith of the Coral Palace lineage, she has no need to fear this.

Moreover, she herself does not have a strong desire for power, so even if she really loses the scepter, it may not be a purely bad thing for her.

Kaijima is likely to be destroyed anyway, and even if she retains power, she won't be able to withstand the general.

Then power is no longer something indispensable to her.

As for the so-called relatives and friends...how can you expect the king to have real friends?
Coral Palace Xinhai is a natural-born [human-god priestess]. Her birth means that Kaizhi Island has its own king.

Her power is "divinely granted".

It's not General Raiden, but Omikami Umi.

The divinely appointed king,
She may have friends, but it is unlikely that any of them will become her weakness in decision-making.

The fools can do nothing about this kind of person.

Kujo Takayuki also has a very high status, but he has the entire Kujo family behind him.

You can be honest and incorruptible by yourself, but you can't expect your entire family to follow your example, right?
As long as one person takes the lead in accepting the kindness of the Fatui, how could others refuse?

With relatives and friends like this, Kujo Takayuki had no choice.

What's more, Kujo Takayuki has nothing to do with things like integrity and honesty.

A person who has no desires but is extremely valuable and has power and status is an unsolvable choice.

"That means I can't refuse her." The officer made his choice.

If trouble exists, you have to acknowledge it.

If someone catches you, you have to take responsibility for the mistake.

"Give her the newly made evil eye, and also deliver a batch of food and weapons."

This kind of thing would not bother Sanbing. As an executive officer, protecting the Evil Eye Factory is not his job.

Most executive officers are aware that the skirmishers have their own agenda.

However, General Lei Dian was indeed difficult to deal with, and almost all the executives had their own plans, so no one cared about his actions.

The big guys at the top don't care, so he is just a small officer, so he has no right to care about what this old man wants to do.

"Communicate with the shogunate troops on the front lines and tell them that we support them in going all out and winning a great victory over the rebels."

The Fatui don't just have deals with people like Kujo Takayuki and Hiiragi Shinsuke.

Those people at the bottom and middle level are much more satisfied than the two above.

The officer didn't care whether doing so would offend Kujo Takayuki.

Just look at Liyue and Mondstadt and you will know that the work they have to do will most likely offend the managers of their own country in the end.

Besides, if you cooperate with Kujo Takayuki, who is a bastard who sells out the interests of his own country, you are really lucky that he is a bastard.

If he wasn't a bastard, it would be difficult to do this job.

Kujo Takayuki is incorruptible and upright, so wouldn't that make it very difficult for the people who are responsible for infiltrating him?
He's just a jerk, and that's how the job is done.

But how much respect can you have for a scumbag?

Besides, the rebels have already eaten so much, and if they can’t even withstand the temptation of power from the shogunate front, there is nothing that can be done.

If you are a bad player and still want to operate, you deserve to fail.

"Yes." The debt handler lowered his head.

The process of this job is not complicated.

Exposure is inevitable. It is understandable that the Evil Eye Factory was caught in order to facilitate transportation.

The real problem is that it's a little too fast.

No, is Coral Palace Xinhai really that high in level?
The officer pondered for a moment and felt that the woman's reaction was too quick.

And he is really willing to sacrifice his face.

Whether it is asking or requesting, the core is actually the same.

It's nothing more than that he has already self-destructed, and knows that he will die no matter what he does, but he is still valuable to the Fatui.

So he took the initiative to give up his face and used this value to ask for supplies and support from the fools.

The core is shameless.

It is already a bit troublesome if a person is shameless, but what is even more troublesome is that this person is very capable.

This is a bit uncomfortable.

Do you want to find an opportunity to kill her?

"Let's investigate."

He still made up his mind.

A compromise is a compromise.

Whether it is a request or a request, it is essentially a good thing for the Fatui.

This means that the Evil Eye Factory can operate at full capacity without having to worry about hiding anything.

This is a completely good thing for the evil eye experiment.

As for the material costs...normal people can't even imagine the price they need to pay in order to deal with Kujo Takayuki and Hiiragi Shinsuke.

Compared with this price, the war supplies that Xinhai of Coral Palace demanded were nothing.

As long as she does the work, she doesn't have to report this expense specifically.

If Coral Palace Xinhai's decision had not been too outrageous, he could have decided this small matter himself.

But it's just too outrageous.

So he had to report it.

Whether it is useful or not is another matter. He can't just leave such a strange flower here without any reaction.

The reaction of Coral Palace Xinhai was beyond his expectations, which meant that he had to investigate the cause of the change.

This kind of work is too dangerous and cannot tolerate any laxity.

In a way, it does make sense that the Fatui can accomplish things.

They are cautious, they are strong, they are wealthy, and most importantly, they are willing to spend money. As long as you can help them achieve their goals, they will be willing to spend.

This is the case with Tartaglia. In order to make Kujo Takayuki compromise, the Fatui on Inazuma's side will spend more than Tartaglia.

There's no reason why it wouldn't succeed.

······
Time is still flowing.

While Jiang Qing started the first step of the plan, Ying was also making steady progress.

"Can't we just leave?" Paimon suddenly asked, "Inazuma seems to be very dangerous. The gods here will attack you."

"Why don't we give up on the Inazuma thing."

Amidst all the troubles, she certainly cared more about Ying.

No matter how difficult the lives of the people are, it is not a reason for Ying to fight for them.

She is not Inazuma's wife, so why should she risk her life for Inazuma?

"The Goddess doesn't seem like a good person, and the general also has his own agenda... Inazuma is too dangerous."

"Same." Ying rubbed Paimon's cheek, "If it's not the general, the other gods are not much different."

This has nothing to do with that god. The key problem is that Ying is too weak now.

Even if the general didn't go crazy, and she ran into the God of Grass, the God of Fire, or some other god, and was relatively weak, the outcome would be the same.

The core logic of the incident is not that the general will go crazy... After all, there is no standard for the moral bottom line and behavioral accuracy of these gods.

No one has stipulated that gods must be good.

The general was just the first to reveal this cruel truth.

Barbatos brought the mystery of the gods to a low limit, while Morax made Ying and Paimon feel that the gods might not be bad people.

But the result may not be like this.

Just because they were the first gods to appear, and two in a row, Ying actually set the tone for the gods.

And now she paid the price for her arrogant and hasty judgment.

Ying shouldn't have any friendly expectations towards a group of gods she had never seen before who ruled over this world.

People should strive for the best goals, but also be prepared for the worst.

Ying has not.

Her calculations were too good. She thought that once she arrived at the castle tower and met the general, she would be chosen by them like Barbatos and Morax and would cooperate with them.

Actually?
In fact, there is no such guarantee at all.

No one had ever told her that General Thunder was the same as the God of Rock. Even Ying should have had a preliminary understanding of this general from decrees such as the Eye Hunting Order and the National Closure Order.

But she was still confused by the preconceived impression and never thought that gods could be such bad people who imposed harsh policies.

No, Inazuma herself didn't think the general's decree was wrong, so as an outsider, she shouldn't think so.

"We have dealt with four places during this period of time. I have also visited various places in Inazuma and learned about the suffering of the people..." She raised her head, "Can't you tell me what you want to do?"

This is a conversation.

Every story told by each person is something they are unwilling to say publicly, but it is indeed their own thought.

Ying knew what they wanted to do.

Sitting opposite her was Kamisato Ayaka.

As for Ganyu...Ganyu has left temporarily.

The original purpose of the Great Purification of the Divine Sakura was to eradicate evil and protect the safety of the Divine Sakura Tree.

But this does not mean that the person who performs the Divine Sakura Purification cannot have other purposes.

For example... presenting the suffering of the people to someone.

That is, in front of Ying.

"That's what the palace master arranged, but I think such a method is unnecessary for you."

Kamisato Ayaka's words were gentle.

If Ying had just become Inazuma, this arrangement might have been helpful.

But after she met God, it was no longer realistic for her to fight for Ying's position by using the tragic experiences of those who had lost the Eye of God.

Ying has been taught a lesson by Lei Shen.

Even the fact that she is still alive now is thanks to the help of another person.

In this case, her sympathy score for the Eye Hunter Order would not be too high.

Because she had already accepted the general's harsh rule, and now she was just witnessing it with her own eyes.

The best case scenario is to show the other party the bloody and tragic reality when they are unprepared.

This will earn you more sympathy.

But Lord Palace Master has his reasons... We have already prepared everything once, and it would be a pity not to use these prepared things.

"So that's why you let me see these things during the trip?" Ying raised her eyebrows.

During her travels, she always saw some unfortunate people who had lost the Eye of God.

Her sympathy was running out.

This doesn't seem like the work of Yae Shinko. She's not that stupid.

"To be more precise, it's not something we prepared," Kamisato Ayaka said, "but you've been to so many places that it's inevitable that you'll meet these people."

Not all seals are in uninhabited areas. Even if they are in uninhabited areas, you still have to go to inhabited areas to replenish supplies.

"Palace Master means that she wants to change her target from the Eye Hunting Order to the National Locking Order."

Kamisato Ayaka smiled bitterly and said, "She said that people who have lost the Eye of God may not be able to gain your sympathy, so she plans to use these innocent Inazuma people."

From the perspective of people's livelihood, the harm caused by the isolation order is far more brutal than the hunting order.

But closing the country off from the outside world will not make it unviable, and confiscating the Eye of God will not make ordinary people unviable.

"Resisting General Raiden will lead these ordinary people into a dead end." Ying said bluntly, "Ms. Kamisato, Thomas told me that you rebelled against the Eye Hunting Order before?"

You have to show some sincerity.

If Kamisato Ayaka had no attitude at all, Ying would certainly not accept her invitation.

"Yes." Kamisato Ayaka said calmly, "I thought the Eye Hunting Order was very harmful at the time. It was not a correct policy, but because I was afraid of the majesty of the Narukami, I pushed the blame on the shogunate."

This is similar to the policy of Coral Palace Heart Sea.

I can rebel against the shogun. I know there are problems with the shogun, but I will never say that I want to rebel against the shogun in any situation where I need to make a statement.

The shogunate could be opposed.

Because the shogunate is exercising divine authority, but people have their own desires. If they do something wrong, you cannot say that General Raiden is wrong.

And General Raiden is never wrong.

Of course, Kamisato Ayaka didn't think so, but she did it, so there was no need to give too much explanation to Ying.

"So what now?" Ying asked.

"Now I also think that the Eye Hunting Order has a lot of problems." Her answer was simple.

Ying remembered what someone said.

"In fact, if one thinks from the perspective of ordinary people, he should reject the lockdown order instead of the hunting order."

"Because the Eye Hunting Order has nothing to do with ordinary people, and the blockade of long-distance navigation, even if it preserves a piece of ocean, has also caused the economic development of ordinary Inazuma people to fall into decline."

There are two types of people who turn a blind eye to the dangers of a lockdown.

One is pure non-consideration, the other is simple turning a blind eye.

Of course, this is actually the same kind of person.

Because there is only one kind of person who can be completely indifferent to the swords and axes that are chopping down on civilians, without having to think about it.

Those are the powerful people in Inazuma.

Just as the difference between mortals and gods is daunting, in fact, the gap between the powerful and ordinary people is no bigger than this gap.

It’s not that they are ignorant of developments in the outside world; they just choose to ignore them.

For example, the reason why Beidou's fleet can continue to sail around the outlying islands is because she can continuously transport precious items from the seven countries to the hands of the Inazuma dignitaries.

Even if the country is closed, the upper class can still enjoy what they deserve.

In other words, precisely because of the closed-door policy, they have to demonstrate their abilities in front of those who cannot enjoy them.

The lockdown order did have an impact on the upper class, and it was a huge one.

Closing the country means that their economy has been affected, whether it is trade or simple transactions, which are the sources of income for the powerful.

And closing the country means all of these are gone.

But this does not affect their power.

The core of the powerful is power rather than wealth.

Therefore, they really didn't need to risk angering Ming Shen to stop the implementation of the isolation order.

Furthermore, Ming Shen's Locking Country Order and Eye Hunting Order both have their own purposes, which Jiang Qing only guessed and did not tell Ying.

What Ying knew very well was that this girl who was so humble in front of her was actually the most powerful person in Inazuma.

Princess Egret of the community's official family.

Kamisato Ayaka is not without any power. In fact, although the current shrine magistrate is her brother, the power of the shrine magistrate is actually wielded jointly by her and her brother.

Kamisato Ayato handles daily government affairs, while Kamisato Ayaka, as the shrine magistrate and the face of the Kamisato family, is active in various occasions to maintain the Kamisato family's control over subordinate families and allies.

And the most important point is... Although it was the Tenryo Bugyo and Kanjo Bugyo who accepted bribes from the Fatui and exploited foreign merchants, the Sha Bugyo was also involved.

There is a simple truth that if you go to disaster relief with two colleagues, and if both of them are corrupt, they will definitely not let you stay out.

Kamisato Ayato may not take the initiative to accept bribes, but Kujo Takayuki will definitely prepare one for him.

This is a time when the three of us must advance and retreat together, and no one can escape.

You can refuse, but that means, on more levels, you hold the evidence against them.

In other words, you are more noble than them.

But that won’t work.

We are all making progress together and have the same status. How can you control me? How can you be more honored than me?
Given Kamisato Ayato and Sha Bugin's current status, it would be difficult for them to reject the goodwill shown by their two colleagues.

It's a simple choice.

If you don't accept their goodwill, you will become their political enemy.

Since they are enemies, only dead enemies are the best enemies.

Although the Shebuxing seems to be in a high position and has great power, it does not mean that he is truly immortal.

As long as the conflict of interests is too fatal, there is always a way to make the society realize its mistakes.

"Inazuma's environment is really... hard to describe." Ying was not interested.

"In fact, you are not the only one who thinks so." Kamisato Ayaka pushed the teacup towards Ying, "But I can't help it. This is my hometown."

"If I turn a blind eye to all this, then no one will care about the environment here."

The position of power in Shefengxing is already very high...it is natural for her to be a princess.

But she insisted on worrying about the country and the people, and the root cause of the trouble was the problematic goals pursued by the two societies that neither of them could solve.

So she could only worry but had no way to solve the problem.

"So, Yae Shinko's new plan is to use the people's livelihood here to play the sympathy card?"

Ying was a little curious.

"No one can tell what the purpose of the palace chief is." Kamisato Ayaka smiled softly, "But if you want a foreigner to work hard for Inazuma's own troubles, you should at least have some valuable chips."

You have to play the emotional card, but you can't succeed just by playing the emotional card.

Yae God has his own arrangements, and Kamisato Ayaka has no idea what this great demon is thinking.

But she knew very well that compared to her sympathy for the fate of the people, the Lord Palace Administrator probably had more firm reasons.

In that case, let's leave the trouble to her.
