Reborn as a tiger, he was chosen by the nation as its guardian beast.

The young official in charge of receiving Shinichiro Koizumi genuinely wanted to applaud his protest.

You think to yourself, "Isn't it perfect that you're not eating?"

To avoid waste.

Although that's what he thought, he didn't say anything. After all, he was professionally trained and could maintain a polite smile even when faced with a pack of dogs barking at him.

The gentle smile on his face remained unchanged.

He simply gestured for them to proceed, then turned and announced that all meals for the Japanese delegation today were canceled.

Shinichiro Koizumi returned to his room and told the remaining seven members about his resolute decision.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little strange.

Everyone looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

People are iron, and rice is steel, so you panic if you don't eat a meal.

Although they are not Chinese, they all heed this profound saying of China.

This guy is going on a hunger strike to show off his so-called backbone, so why drag everyone else into it?

Isn't this just asking for trouble?

Unfortunately, they only dared to complain to themselves.

On the surface, they still had to immediately put on an image of being united in their hatred of the enemy and expressing their support for the commander's wise decision.

Soon, the day passed by in a state of constant hunger.

The next morning, as Shinichiro Koizumi, dressed neatly and forcing himself to be energetic, led the delegation members out of the hotel at the appointed time, a series of inappropriate voices rang out.

Glug glug...

Everyone's stomachs rumbled in protest.

At that moment, Wang Hu happened to come over with Qin Tieshan and heard the symphony.

A strange look suddenly appeared on his majestic tiger-like face.

Do these Japanese people possess some kind of special, extraordinary ability?

How can even the sounds of their stomachs growling be so perfectly synchronized, like a military parade?

Under the rather strange gazes of the surrounding crowd, the Japanese delegation, led by Shinichiro Koizumi, awkwardly approached Qin Tieshan.

Qin Tieshan naturally didn't care about this little incident.

He exchanged a few perfunctory pleasantries with Shinichiro Koizumi, then waved his hand, signaling everyone to get on the bus.

Several military off-road vehicles, carrying the group, sped off towards the outskirts of Yong'an City.

As Shinichiro Koizumi sat in the car, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

What exactly is Qin Tieshan up to?

We agreed to give an explanation for what happened last night, so why did we take them out of the city?

But his doubts didn't last long.

Because the convoy had only traveled a few kilometers from Yong'an City, he saw a sight in that desolate desert that he would never forget.

A huge, twisted crack, like a hideous scar, stands between heaven and earth.

He was all too familiar with this spatial rift.

He was present when the crack was first discovered in Japan.

He was even a staff officer on the front lines, personally involved in developing the initial response plan.

Therefore, he recognized it at a glance.

The spatial rift in front of us is the one from their Japan!

An absurd and terrifying thought struck his mind in an instant.

The spatial rift connecting their Japan to another world has now been occupied by China on the other side.

In that instant, Shinichiro Koizumi felt as if he had been struck by lightning; his blood ran cold, and his face turned deathly pale.

He certainly knew what this meant.

Those mutants can invade Japan through spatial rifts, so China... naturally can too!

He subconsciously turned around and glanced at the Yong'an City behind him, which stood so close, like a steel behemoth. A chill ran down his spine and straight to the top of his head.

He suddenly realized a fact that sent shivers down his spine.

Modern China is now bordering Japan!

Moreover, one of their heavily fortified military strongholds was only a few kilometers away from the heart of Japan!

"arrive!"

Just as his heart was filled with endless fear, Qin Tieshan's calm voice rang out.

He beckoned everyone to get out of the car and personally led them to the spatial rift that exuded an ominous aura.

Then, he slowly turned around, looked at Shinichiro Koizumi, whose face was ashen, and a smile that was hard to read appeared on his face.

"Mr. Koizumi, last night your country dispatched those two extraordinary individuals to investigate Yong'an City without permission. Wasn't that precisely to address the issue of those alien mutants and the mastermind behind this spatial rift on your land?"

Qin Tieshan's words struck Koizumi Shinichiro's heart like a heavy hammer.

He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

Qin Tieshan didn't need his answer and continued talking on his own.

"Actually, we can act as mediators to resolve your conflict and help you both stop fighting and live in peace!"

"Furthermore, we have already communicated with the mastermind of the other world about this matter in advance. The other party is actually very interested in this matter and is unwilling to continue fighting."

Qin Tieshan extended his hand, making an inviting gesture.

"If the ambassador is willing to give me, Qin Tieshan, face, then please do so!"

"Let's go behind the rift and hold a three-way meeting with the representatives sent by the mastermind to see if we can reach a peace agreement acceptable to all three parties, what do you say?"

At this point, Qin Tieshan's smile deepened.

He chuckled and added a pointed remark.

"Perfect timing! You've been clamoring to return to Japan as soon as possible. This will save you from another long flight. Once you cross this crevice, you'll be home!"

Shinichiro Koizumi had no idea how he had passed through the spatial rift. He was completely numb, especially after he passed through the rift and saw the familiar buildings, trenches, and city behind him. He was utterly bewildered.

He had actually returned to Japan, and with Chinese people.

But soon something even more astonishing happened: in an open-air negotiation area that had been set up not far from the crack, a man and a woman who looked like Japanese people were sitting opposite them, waiting for them.

After he followed Qin Tieshan to the opposite side of the two men, the man immediately stood up, extending his hand to Qin Tieshan with a warm smile. After they shook hands, he turned to Shinichiro Koizumi and said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Ryuichi, and I am an envoy sent by the mastermind to be fully responsible for the negotiations between our three parties!"
