Yae no Miko stared at him with an air of amusement, but also with scrutiny.
They are basically all old people who were employed back in the Coral Palace era. Faced with their rapid corruption and destruction of Inazuma, can Jiang Ming and Xin Hai really be consistent in their words and deeds and true to themselves?
If you can't do that...
Now that I still have some power and am no longer completely powerless like before, I need to prepare early to avoid being in such a passive position again.
Jiang Ming quickly browsed through the materials under the watchful gaze of Yae no Miko.
"Ha~"
The only response from Yae no Miko was a cold laugh.
"how?"
"I thought that with MOSO's involvement in the allocation mechanism and its increasing reliance on algorithms, coupled with strict information technology checks, their power and ambitions could be effectively curbed. But now it seems that these people always manage to come up with new tricks."
"You want equal rights, they want privileges, that's why people with different goals cannot work together."
"They still cling to the old mindset, thinking, 'I've worked so hard for so many years, and now that I've conquered Inazuma, can't I enjoy myself?' They're never satisfied; they can share hardship but not happiness. That's the kind of person I'm talking about."
As soon as Jiang Ming finished speaking, the office returned to silence.
It wasn't just these people; according to the information he had just found, none of them had ever been reported to have any problems.
The fact that the public would rather pray at a shrine than try to report or protest reflects both a lack of trust in the authorities and the fact that ideological liberation remains a long and arduous task.
"So what do you plan to do?" Yae no Miko asked him.
"Arrest those who should be arrested, kill those who should be killed!"

When Inazuma began to take action and start cleaning up and reorganizing the interior, the residents of Sumeru City were indeed in a state of confusion.
A lot has happened lately.
High Disciplinarian Seno has defected. The Disciplinarian and a group of thirty mercenaries with many new faces have taken action. The Church has uncovered a whole network of intelligence in the desert.
Quite a few people were taken away by the Order of the Order. Many only found out afterward that their friends of many years had been turned by the desert forces and had been arrested.
Some people were simply moved, while others were puzzled.
My friend... no matter how you look at it, there's no reason for him to serve the desert.
They are native rainforest people with clean families and no shortage of money or anything, so how did they get turned by the desert?
What's in it for him?
Moreover, the desert has only been independent for a short time, and the rainforest is still embroiled in internal disputes, yet it has already attracted so many people to support it wholeheartedly.
They found this incomprehensible and were skeptical of the Church's explanation.
Shortly thereafter, the Council of the Church ordered the closure of the Inazuma embassy in the Sumeru Rainforest, the expulsion of Inazuma diplomats and civilians, and the banning of Inazuma people and desert people from entering the country.
The Khōryōin did not provide much explanation for closing the Inatsuma Embassy, but people speculated that it was because the Inatsuma people secretly supported the desert's actions, which led to the Khōryōin's rebellion.
This is almost the only reasonable explanation, but it still feels a bit off.
It's no secret that embassies often double as activity centers for intelligence personnel, especially among the Fools of Winterfell. The direct integration of diplomatic, military, and intelligence work is common knowledge in Teyvat.
Logically speaking, if the intelligence network has been cleared out, it should be considered a victory. So why would you proactively close the other side's embassy?
There's no precedent for this.
Following this approach, could Sumeru directly sever all ties with the other six...seven countries?
Isn't this blatant targeting?
So why?
Everyone else is doing the same thing, and there's someone doing it openly and openly that everyone knows about, but they deliberately chose someone else to do it quietly.
However, no one will answer their question.
After a few short days of calm, as more and more insiders in the Void Statistics were brought under control, and just when Hazard seemed to be able to turn around and safely weather the storm, Jiang Ming's side had already quietly begun their next move.
However, after witnessing the determination and efficiency of the combined efforts of the Church and the Fools, they decided to abandon the high-profile approach and instead prepare for a protracted war.
According to the intelligence provided by Nasita, isn't it just about using keyword listening to pinpoint the exact location? Isn't that easy to deal with?
Human intelligence, kid!
As he pondered the recent changes within the Church, the scribe of the Church, Al-Hysen, returned home.
Having served as clerk for so many years, he was well aware of the internal situation of the Order of the Church, and it was clear that something was wrong with the Order of the Church.
But... he still doesn't know why, not a single message has come through.
All possible informants have been moved and imprisoned, and can only be seen by those with special permission from the Great Sage.
Within the Order of the Fathers, whenever he wanted to investigate further, he was always a step too late.
For example, when Sino defected, his first thought upon receiving the news was that it was nonsense.
Seno would defect? Then he should write El-Hysen's name backwards.
This is even colder than Beno's lame jokes.
Upon receiving this news from the void, he immediately rushed to the so-called "Sino attack" security room.
However, by the time he arrived, the scene had already been cleaned up, and he only saw the shadow of the last stretcher being carried out.
He didn't even see who was lying on top of him.
The thirty foreign mercenaries didn't treat him well either. Or rather, they were polite, but it was completely different from the somewhat humble and ingratiating attitude of the previous thirty-man group.
These mercenaries gave him the feeling that... they didn't seem like a group of thirty, but more like the Fools.
Al-Hysen immediately realized the problem.
But even after all this time, he hasn't made any progress.
After opening the door and exchanging a few words with his foul-mouthed and short-tempered roommate, Kavi, he returned to his own room. Looking around, he suddenly realized that his room had been disturbed.
The placement of several books has clearly changed.
Without making a sound, Al-Hysen pulled out a book and started reading, silently pondering the meaning behind these changes.
A moment later, pretending to go to the bathroom to take a shower, Elhesen removed the Void Terminal.
Chapter 260 Inazuma Shogunate Limited-Time Rerun
One characteristic of the virtual terminal is that it is directly connected to the user's consciousness and must be worn by someone to connect and operate.
Once it is removed and turned off, it loses its connection with human consciousness and can no longer function.
Right now, Elhesen, having removed the Void Terminal, rummaged around in the bathroom and successfully found a letter.
When you open it, there is only a short, handwritten coordinate.
Despite the efforts to conceal it and the significant alterations made, El-Hysen could still recognize that it was Seno's handwriting.
He has his own unique characteristics.
"interesting."
Al-Hysen put the letter back into the envelope, then put it in his pocket, splashing cold water on himself as he began to re-examine the clues from this incident.
It's true that Sino has at least some contact with the Desert or Inazuma regions and may have received some assistance; it's highly likely that these are the people helping him now.
But as for the claim that Senor defected, he still doesn't believe it.
There must be some misunderstanding, or... conspiracy involved.
In particular, the visitor deliberately used this subtle method to hint to him to remove the Void Terminal.
"It seems I'll have to go there in person another day."
I need to find an excuse to go there, and given the current situation, I might need a fake void terminal to disguise it.
As he left the bathroom, Elhesen hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to stop wearing the Void Terminal.
Since it's implied that he should remove the Void Terminal, it's highly likely that there's something wrong with it. Anyway, he's already removed it. If there really is some conspiracy, let's see if they can bring down him, the scribe, just like they brought down Cyno.
If not, it's best to pretend to be ignorant and trust that they won't make the wrong choice.
With this thought in mind, Elhesen drifted peacefully off to sleep.
The next day at noon, when the strong sunlight shone on Elhesen's face, Elhesen suddenly woke up from his dream and sat up abruptly.
wait?
Dreamland?
When do adults in Sumeru start dreaming?
Moreover... the fatigue from not getting enough rest these past few days has been completely swept away.
After several days of weakness, Elhesen now felt more energetic than ever before.
This clearly contradicts the Church's explanation of "anomalies in the earth's veins."
Furthermore, this contradicts the belief held by the Sumeru people for the past decades or even centuries that "dreams are manifestations of ignorance, and wise Sumeru adults do not dream."
This is probably a conspiracy.
And it may be a conspiracy that has been planned for over a hundred years.
To carry out this conspiracy, everyone in Xumi, including him, the scribe who was almost second only to the emperor, was deceived.
At this moment, Elhesen showed a rare look of lingering fear, frowning as he looked at the void terminal he had placed on the table.
If what he thinks is true, then he probably knows what's going on with Seno.
Those soldiers I saw in the security room earlier who looked just like the Fools were probably the real Fools.
Seno probably discovered the problem first, and his unique desert heritage and his attack on the legitimate Fools in the security room gave others an opportunity to smear him.
Only a few of the highest-ranking sages in the Order of the Fathers are capable of doing all of this.
El-Hysen's expression turned serious.
Why does it look so familiar?
Problems have arisen at the very top of the ruling body, and the Fools are forcefully intervening. The two sides have also joined forces to violently suppress numerous internal issues and cover up the truth...
