"No." Bud stopped running. "If we have a traitor, he must know my ability. If I run away now, I will fall into the trap he has prepared."

"Only by predicting his prediction can we have a chance to survive. Stay calm. You must stay calm."

All the information related to Li Muzhi flashed quickly through his mind, and he believed that he could find a glimmer of hope in it.

A charming and cold photo suddenly appeared in his mind. When he was collecting intelligence on Li Muzhi, he checked the information of his relatives.

"Cangchuan Qiushui! He also has an aunt who is a professor in the school. She is definitely not an ordinary person either."

Bud remembered the lab she was in, and his body turned into red mist, moving quickly over there.

Nathalie once said not to touch his family, but between life and death, Bud couldn't care less.

Only by doing this can he have a chance of survival.

. . .

Tokyo, temporary base, Nathalie sat alone on the sofa, the living room was empty.

"No news yet from Bud and Betty?"

Yang Cai shook her head: "They teamed up to go to Dongda to kill Li Muzhi. After entering the school, no more news came out. Li Muzhi left school normally, there was nothing unusual, and there were no signs of fighting in Dongda."

After hearing the report, Nathalie leaned back on the sofa, closed her eyes, and her expression could not be seen.

"Should I send people to kill Li Muzhi next?" Yang Cai's tone was very uncertain. The three strongest fighters died and two were missing inexplicably.

It was like there was a pair of huge mouths in the darkness, swallowing everything.

"Li Muzhi has great potential, but his strength is less than A." Nathalie said softly, "With his strength, it is impossible for him to kill Bud and Betty silently."

"Is there anyone else ambushing us?" asked Yang Cai.

"Dongda is in danger, don't worry about Li Muzhi anymore." Nathalie closed her eyes: "The dormitory master meeting will be held in three days, we should not act rashly before then."

"Yeah." Yang Cai nodded.

"Let me be quiet for a while." Nathalie said, leaning back on the sofa, closing her eyes and stopping talking.

Hina opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but nothing came out, before finally saying, "Okay, Mom."

With that, she retreated from the room, leaving Nathalie in the dark.

Three days passed in a flash, and the election for the head of the Onmyoji was held in a mansion outside the Imperial Palace. It was said that this was the old house of the Tokugawa family during the Shogunate era, and it is still maintained every year until now.

There are many shrines of all sizes in the East Country, and in theory, they are all under the jurisdiction of the Onmyoji. At this time, dozens of gods wearing various robes have arrived.

These shrines have hundreds of residents, or as few as a single family.

There are only a few shrines that are truly powerful.

Although it is said that only those with moral integrity will occupy the position, you must first have the strength to make the other party willing to talk to you about morality.

Most of the gods who come here bring their younger generations to see the world.

Suddenly there was a commotion outside the crowd: "The Tsuchimikado family is here, the Tsuchimikado god is here!"

Everyone in the room stood up and went to greet them.

"Master Tokugawa is being too polite." Tsuchimikado Setsuna, dressed in a moon-colored priest robe and holding a folding fan, was very elegant and was exchanging business words with a middle-aged man.

There was only a pretty man following her, and that was Li Muzhi.

He also wore a white priest robe today, which he bought at the souvenir shop at the foot of the mountain when he went to work with Baigui last time.

But he was handsome and still attracted the attention of the surrounding witches.

I wondered when such a handsome young man appeared in the Togumo family.

If he hadn't been standing next to Tsuchimikado Setsuna, a shrine maiden would have come up to ask for his phone number. This is an era where looks matter.

If a shrine produces a handsome priest, the amount of incense and offerings will increase exponentially, and it will all be a business.

"It's been four years since I last met with the head of the family." The head of the Tokugawa family said tactfully beside Tsuchimikado, "I'll have to ask the lord to take care of me for the next four years."

"Master Tokugawa is joking." Tsuchimikado covered his lips with his folding fan, and only the two of them could hear his voice: "The Takeda family is in good shape, so why should Master Tokugawa go far away?"

The head of the Tokugawa family's face froze visibly, and he immediately smiled and said, "Senka God, you are joking. Please take a seat."

"No need to entertain us, we can do it ourselves." Tsuchimikado Setsuna smiled and walked straight to the front with Li Muzhi and the other person.

"Mom, is that old man also in Nathalie's group?" Li Muzhi asked immediately after sitting down. He had been with Tsuchimikado Setsuna for the past three days and he didn't see that she had received any information in this regard.

"It was just a test, now it's confirmed." Tsuchimikado Setsun's face remained smiling, and his voice was only heard by the two of them:

"If there is no political support, how dare Nathalie kill people in the street? I have been the head of the Qingming Shrine for too long, and they have not received any benefits from it. They also want to test whether I am still capable of being the head of the shrine."

"What a bastard." Li Muzhi pouted. He really ate too much.

Tsuchimikado Setsuna did not say anything else and kept smiling.

"The head of the Takeda family has arrived." Someone outside shouted, attracting everyone's attention.

Everyone present looked in the direction of the voice, and whispered to each other: "Who is the head of the Takeda family? Is he a great Onmyoji? Why haven't we heard of him?"

"That should be the case. He left without seeing the head of the Tokugawa family."

In the distance, Nathalie was wearing a black windbreaker, followed by Hina, and behind them were a group of muscular foreigners in suits and ties. Their outfits were out of place here.

But the moment she appeared, the whole venue fell silent, and Nathalie did not restrain her aura.

She seemed to be walking in a sea of ​​blood. The demonic power of the great demon was as tangible as a substance. Even though it was not directed at anyone, it made all the gods present quiet down.

Nathalie walked directly to the seat next to the main seat, glanced at Tsuchimikado Setsuna and Li Muzhi, and sat directly opposite them.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the venue was extremely quiet.

Everyone felt that today's election meeting was not simple.

Now that the main figures were all present, there was no need to wait any longer. The head of the Tokugawa family trotted to the first seat, coughed twice, and spoke: "Thank you to the Onmyoji for entrusting our Tokugawa family with this honor and holding the Onmyoji chief election."

"Under the leadership of Lord Tsuchimikado, the Onmyoji Ryo has developed steadily over the past four years..."

The head of the Tokugawa family talked incessantly for ten minutes to boast about Tsuchimikado Setsuna's achievements, and Li Muzhi was stunned.

If it weren't for the fact that every time he saw Setsuna, she would hide outside the room and bask in the sun lazily.

Just by listening to the Tokugawa family head bragging, one would think that Tsuchimikado Setsuna has already taken the Onmyoji Ryo to Mars.

Finally, after he finished boasting, he looked at the people below and said, "Now, is there any shrine willing to compete for the position of the new Onmyoji Master?"

After he finished speaking, there was complete silence.

"Takeda Shrine, election for the head of the Onmyoji Ryo." Nathalie stood up from her seat, her eyes fixed on Tsuchimikado Setsuna from beginning to end.

People immediately started to discuss that it was quite strange for a foreigner like her to run for the position of Onmyoji Bureau leader.

The chiefs of the small shrines all turned their eyes to the representatives of the large shrines, only to see that they were all sitting there, not saying a word, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding.

Nathalie glanced at everyone one by one, and finally looked at Tsuchimikado Setsuna. Everything was just as she had planned.

These big shrines also want to see a force that can challenge Tsuchimikado Setsuna. She has been sitting in this position for too long.

The head of the Tokugawa family saw that no one raised any objections: "Let's move on to the first stage. Takeda Shrine, please explain your development strategy to everyone."

Li Muzhi just felt pain in his feet from sitting so hard. He had already learned about the election for the head of the Yin-Yang Bureau before he came.

It is divided into two stages. The first stage is to talk about the development strategy, which requires the support of more than 60% of the shrines.

Only then can you start the second stage, fight with the previous dormitory master, and defeat her to become the new Onmyoji dormitory master.

So in the end, it still comes down to strength. The existence of the Onmyoji Bureau itself is justified by its powerful combat capability.

The so-called command of all the Onmyojis in the world cannot be achieved by just inciting them with words.

"You are not a Easterner, right? Why are you able to run for the position of Onmyoji?" An elderly god stood up and began to question.

"That's right, I'm not from the East. I'm one of the heads of the parliament, but I'm also the legal heir of the Takeda Shrine." Nathalie didn't hide anything: "I'm running for the Onmyoji to bring greater benefits to everyone."

After she finished speaking, Hina took out a letter of inheritance and showed it to everyone.

The old chief still had something to say, but it was indeed legally reasonable, and since several large shrines remained silent, he could only sit down in disappointment.

Nathalie looked at Tsuchimikado Setsuna again, as if waiting for her to speak.

Chapter 520: The Moment of Not Following the Rules

Tsuchimikado Setsuna covered half of her face with her folding fan and remained silent, with no sign of emotion. According to the procedure, she had to listen to the candidate's speech before she could make a rebuttal.

Nathalie was already prepared and waved behind her. Hina took a step forward and walked in front of everyone. Her voice was not loud, just enough to reach everyone's ears.

"We will reform the shrines, renovate the old ones, unify the scope of business, prohibit the shrines from competing with each other, and jointly increase income."

Before she finished speaking, someone stood up and interrupted her, mocking her: "How naive! Where is the money? Where will the money for repairing the shrine come from?"

Yang Cai was not in a hurry. She waited for him to finish and continued: "We will introduce EU capital. Everyone knows the existence model of the parliament."

“The extraordinary world belongs to the extraordinary, and the ordinary world belongs to the ordinary people.”

"The Tokoku Shrine will follow the example of the parliament and let the truly powerful priests sit behind the scenes and not have to show up in public to make money to maintain the operation of the shrine."

The gods below began to talk among themselves.

Their attitude changed from resistance at the beginning to starting to think about the feasibility. The moon is rounder abroad, and the extraordinary people in the European Parliament are what they have envied for a long time. Who doesn't want to live such a life?

Li Muzhi pursed his lips after hearing this. Yang Cai was just making empty promises and there was no possibility of implementing them.

The reason why their parliament can enjoy high-level treatment is because of the first-mover advantage of capital accumulated through hundreds of years of brutal plundering.

If we try to copy their operating model now, we will end up in a dead end.

If Li Muzhi can think of it, naturally other people can think of it too. There is never a shortage of smart people in this world.

Someone immediately stood up and said, "The Takeda family has a good idea. The existence of the parliament has its own historical reasons. If we copy it, I'm afraid it will not work."

Yang Cai had expected some people to object: "We will invest a lot of money in the early stage to carry out unified repair work for the shrine free of charge. At the same time, we will provide a minimum amount of funding based on the shrine's previous operating conditions."

"This..." The opponents fell silent.

With this guarantee, regardless of whether the Takeda family's reforms were successful or not, he got a free decoration.

If you make up the money based on previous operating revenue, it will be a pure profit and you can even make more.

Those who saw problems with this plan also fell silent, because they gave too much.

Hina continued to recount the details, and the briefing lasted nearly an hour. She was very well prepared, and even Li Muzhi, who knew that their only goal was to deal with Tsuchimikado Setsuna, felt that the future was bright.
