At that time, Yukinoshita Yukino always wondered whether she was someone close to that boy.

However, at that time, the foreign student, who was not quite a teenager but was still extremely handsome, maintained a certain reclusive habit. Although they were always running around in college, they did not run into each other often, not to mention that he was not alone, so the two of them met each other very rarely in college and had nothing to say to each other when they met.

Sometimes she even doubted whether the boy really supported her in taking that path.

Or is his support for himself just a frivolous act, like stirring up ants in an anthill on the side of the road?

Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't help but think so as she stood on the university campus and looked at the boy's receding back.

But she had no way out by then.

In the end, she discovered that the so-called trend of history still came from the young man's casual arrangement. After graduation, she did take the Japanese civil service examination according to that plan and became a Japanese civil servant, or bureaucrat. After actually participating in the management of that country, she realized how rigid that system was. At the same time, she couldn't help but feel from some messy places that the undercurrent was gradually stirring up surging waves, and that undercurrent was indeed related to her.

Because she could feel that among the ranks of Japan's bureaucracy, both new and old, there were many who, like her, gained extraordinary abilities from that game!

Moreover, it is not known whether Ling Wuji is deliberately indulging himself. His Penglai organization only deals with mysterious crimes in the Kanto region and has always adopted a nonchalant attitude towards the Kansai region.

And Yukinoshita Yukino also knew that before Ling Wuzhi's Penglai controlled Japan, it was an organization called Fei Shiyuan that did that. But since the death of the Golden King of Fei Shiyuan, the Dresden Slate has been slow to elect a new generation of Golden King. And the Silver King of the clan who announced his succession to the Golden King is not Japanese himself, so he is also suspicious of the members of his mysterious side in Japan. In addition, the original Green King is very dissatisfied with the status quo and has always wanted to liberate the stone slate, but now that the stone slate has fallen into Ling Wuzhi's hands, he dare not take action against Ling Wuzhi.

But his purpose in wanting to free the slate is that he wants to create a world where "everyone can use their own power to fight against fate."

Slate was certainly a very good choice, but he found that there were actually better options.

That is the game developed under Ling Wuji's instructions.

The Green King, together with the Gray King who was originally helping him, and the Red King Suho-sama who was somewhat embarrassed by the suppression of the Blue King Munakata Reiji and the Colorless King Sakuramichi Shu, also fled to the Kansai region. In addition, the people who were originally not from Tokiin were also trying their best to encourage the Silver King to flee to the Kansai region. Under such circumstances, the order that was originally in jeopardy under the control of the Magic Association and the Holy Church began to be shaken.

Then Yukinoshita Yukino saw that things were gradually getting out of control.

Even government officials in the Kansai region gradually began to pretend to obey the central government.

So much so that the people they sent to investigate seemed to be bewitched.

So Yukinoshita Yukino knew that the wall between the inner and outer worlds was already crumbling, because they began to use this method to interfere in the government affairs of the secular side instead of covering up their tracks, which meant that the people over there were no longer satisfied with the status quo.

They wanted something more.

Although the Japanese government's bureaucratic system is extremely rigid, there is no shortage of social elites. After all, they are all top test takers from childhood to adulthood. So some of them took the initiative to step forward and expose the existence of the mysterious side that was almost public. Then, they soon formed a special operations team, and the team leader was Yukinoshita Yukino.

Afterwards, when Yukinoshita recalled the meetings during that period, she always felt that there was some strange atmosphere.

And she also figured out that the Japanese government must know about the existence of Ling Wuzhi's Penglai.

They just wanted to test Ling Wuji.

In fact, thinking back carefully, Yukinoshita Yukino gradually became clear whether the Japanese upper class had made corresponding attempts on Ling Wuji. After all, when Ling Wuji was in college, there were always some incredibly beautiful women around him from time to time. As everyone knows, Ling Wuji may not have any shortcomings in essence, because he is almost selfless, but if he really has something that can be called a shortcoming, it is probably lust.

So perhaps some relevant personnel wanted to magnify this characteristic of Ling Wu Ji, so they sent people to test Ling Wu Ji from time to time.

Although Yukinoshita Yukino did not see Ling Wuzhi accept the newcomer as his partner after that.

After he graduated, the truth was just as she had said to Yuigahama Yui, he had disappeared and no longer cared about worldly affairs. As he disappeared, the Hourai he had founded before also showed signs of splitting. At least from what Yukinoshita had seen and heard, Hourai after that was divided into roughly three factions: one was the androids of the Einzbern family, headed by the Winter Saint Feistisa Rizleich von Einzbern; the other was the IS graduates headed by Shinononotsuki; the last faction was more confusing, and it was unclear who was leading it. Sometimes it was said to be Awashima Seri, sometimes it was said to be Koushuin Arisa, and sometimes it was said to be Cecilia Orcutt, and some even claimed to be Yukinoshita Haruno. This faction did exist, but its composition was also the most complicated.

Of course, at that time, Yukinoshita Yukino was just an outsider.

She did not join the organization.

She heard all the news from Yukinoshita Haruno.

All in all, the Japanese upper class was troubled by this behemoth around them, but they could not turn a blind eye to the forces gathering in the Kansai region, so they ordered Yukinoshita Yukino to investigate the Kansai region as the leader of a special operations team. In fact, it was just a helpless move by the upper class, because with the all-round contraction of the Official History Compilation Committee, the death of Jōji Daijuku of the Golden Kingdom, and Penglai's indifference to them, the Japanese government did not have the corresponding power to deal with the interference of the mysterious side.

They could only choose Yukinoshita Yukino, who theoretically could be said to have a close relationship with Ling Wuji.

At that time, the people in the Kansai region did not actually have a unified thought. To be honest, each of those kings was more liberal than the other. Even the Green King, who was the most capable of causing trouble, did not achieve internal unity of thought. His purpose was only to fight against fate. As for what kind of fate to fight against, he felt that the liberated human beings would find the answer themselves.

So it was not actually his order to conduct mind control over the Kansai region government.

Although theoretically he is also to blame.

The entry of Yukinoshita Yukino's special operations team in a sense caused quite a stir, but the royals at that time were not prepared to turn against each other. After all, no one could tell what Ling Wuji's attitude would be, and no one could tell what realm Ling Wuji had reached at the time. It was also uncertain whether he would come out again for his "sister-in-law". Besides, although he did not interfere in the control of the mysterious side of the Kansai region, everyone knew that the whole of Japan was completely covered by the sky curtain barrier established by that man.

So after some turmoil, Yukinoshita Yukino finally found the person who was behind the incident and brought him to justice.

Things seemed to become clear again.

It was as if a huge disaster had disappeared into thin air.

Because of this incident, Yukino Yukinoshita also gained great reputation among the Japanese bureaucracy.

Of course, it was just her reputation among the bureaucrats, which was not enough for Yukinoshita to do more.

But what she had not expected was that this incident actually fueled the ambitions of some people in a sense, because they had no way of seeing the real logic behind things, they could not see the invisible deterrent power emanating from Ling Wuji as an individual and the Penglai he created. This made everyone who could see the truth dare not disrupt the situation at will, but some people could not see it.

As we all know, Japanese people have always had the habit of walking alone.

The so-called "acting alone" means that subordinates acted on their own. Although it disrupted the situation and violated the orders of their superiors, the consequences were good for Japan at that time. Therefore, their superiors had to be responsible for their subordinates' unauthorized actions, take the blame for them, and even had to reward them, because "the victor should not be blamed."

So in this situation, a small number of people only see that a young lady from a noble family like Yukinoshita Yukino, who is only at the innate level, can linger between the government of the Kanto region and the forces of the Kansai region. It's just the innate level. If a grandmaster can be said to be hard to come by, but with the data in that game, it may not be impossible to cultivate a person of this level.

Therefore, the subordinates of some politicians quickly trained a group of innate people, and then, without the knowledge of those politicians, they arbitrarily destroyed the situation and wanted to purge the mysterious forces in the Kansai region and assassinate the leaders of those mysterious factions. As a result, the situation got completely out of control, and those politicians were directly killed at the door by those royalists and forced to hand over the people who took action. At the same time, they also put forward a series of conditions that seemed to the bureaucracy in the Kanto region as if the Kansai region was about to secede.

The negotiations were concluded without any hindrance.

When this condition was released, it immediately caused an uproar.

The situation immediately slid towards the edge of getting out of control.

Although this step seemed helpless to the upper echelons, because they themselves did not have enough power to suppress those royals, neither the stone slabs nor the official history compilation committee were under their control, or those power holders did not continue to support the actions of the current government, and the newly formed Penglai remained unmoved and had never intervened in the situation. In this case, even if those people did not act on their own, those royals and other large and small forces, if they wanted to secede, would certainly be able to do so.

What they lack is time.

And Yukinoshita Yukino was also doing very well.

It gave them time.

According to the plans of those above them, since Ling Wuzhi's game can systematically cultivate corresponding talents, they can also use that game to develop the system. They just haven't figured out how to cooperate with Penglai so that the government can get key data. After all, the biggest advantages of Kanto and Kansai lie in their economy and population. If they can systematically cultivate people on the mysterious side, they have no reason to lose.

At least the situation can be kept at a stalemate.

The problem is that the first batch of people who were trained had been infiltrated and then acted on their own, making the situation even more chaotic.

Under such circumstances, the official system, which had become rigid to a certain extent, was unable to continue to suppress the situation, which further aroused public dissatisfaction. The old upper echelons had never thought that at this time there were actually a considerable number of people in the private sector who did not understand the inside story but had power. They just wanted to cultivate themselves. Those private citizens were dissatisfied with the government's current actions and their approach to splitting the country, so they quickly united, and then directly assassinated those politicians and launched a coup to replace them.

There must be many ambitious people who fanned the flames.

After people gain control of power, they will always be dissatisfied with their current situation.

Especially since they see from their own perspective that the current upper echelons are nothing but a bunch of idiots.

Their subsequent actions were just as mentioned above. They added positions that could screen out people who were similar to them into the subsequent civil service examinations. However, this approach offended civil servants in the system, such as Yukinoshita Yukino. On the other hand, ordinary people saw their monkey-like attitude and naturally fostered their own ambitions:

We have all reached a similar level through that game. Why is it that you get to sit in that position while we have to accept your orders?

If you can stage a coup, we can certainly do the same!

Thus the troubled times officially began.

At this point, the situation can no longer be said to be related to Yukinoshita Yukino.

裠齐零吧(五)失榴ba⑦七

Although from Yukinoshita Yukino's perspective, she could foresee that she would suffer a crushing defeat in a political election because of her political views that were contrary to the Japanese public opinion, she had never expected that the so-called trend of history would be such a thing. Although Ling Wuji had already said that there was such a possibility, she did not expect this day to come so soon, nor did she ever think that the army of the current Japanese government would be so vulnerable.

Or rather, the power they control is so weak.

In fact, a lot of this was due to Xiao Zhizhishu's interference.

After all, most of the highly mobile forces in the Japanese army at that time still relied on the IS Academy, but because of Shinono Tsukasa, most people who graduated from the IS Academy secretly joined an organization, and when the situation became that, they chose to turn a blind eye to the orders of the military superiors.

At that time, Yukinoshita Yukino, as the person who was able to suppress the situation, was actually on the assassination list of some people. Of course, she was also regarded as the hope to stabilize the situation by some people. However, this woman who had become mature at that time chose to take refuge in the Penglai organization. Naturally, Penglai did not reject her. No matter which faction it was, they all knew the story between Ling Wu Ji and this person, so naturally they would not reject her.

Despite the endless political assassinations, Penglai remained as unshakable as a mountain.

Or maybe this organization is just interested in selling games.

There were also some people who were so reckless as to want to directly order Penglai to hand over the operation and core data of the game, but they were quickly eliminated. After repeated attempts, those people also realized that what this organization revealed was just the tip of the iceberg. So no matter how fierce the civil war was, no one dared to touch that organization. Even if they had any intentions, they just wanted to form an alliance.

But if an organization is already the uncrowned king, will they establish their status and demonstrate their power through war?

Of course not.

So even though the war was raging throughout Japan, they remained as unmoved as a mountain.

Theoretically speaking, a figure like the Silver King actually has a chance of becoming the person who pacifies the troubled times, but he is not Japanese, so it is naturally impossible for him to become such a person. And if he cannot become such a person, then a person like Ling Wuzhi certainly cannot be one. Although Reiji Munakata and Shu Sakuragi have thought about finding that person, making him responsible for the situation and thus completely ending the troubled times, at the same time, it also means that they have chosen to hand the country completely over to that person.

No matter how much he wanted to quell the chaos, an elite like Munakata Reisi definitely did not want to be a traitor.

As for Sakuragi Shu, he personally actually had no extra thoughts at all. He was just pushed forward by people like Tsurugi Gaku, Sittern and his stepmother. Although he felt that Ling Wuji was the person who could pacify the troubled times, he also knew that Ling Wuji's personality was definitely not someone who would patiently clean up the situation. If he really had to clean up the situation, he might choose to kill all the opponents directly, not to mention that Tsurugi Gaku was pushing him to sit in that position.

As a result, the situation became increasingly tragic as all parties fought each other.

What is very abrupt, or even funny, is that at this time, the new generation of the Golden King was chosen by the Dresden Slate.

Although the Dresden Slate was actually in Ling Wuzhi's hands at that time, he only chose to use the Sky Curtain Barrier to suppress the power of the slate and did not do it himself. The slate, like the Stone of Origin, was placed deep underground at a certain node of the earth vein. Theoretically, there is indeed a possibility that the King of Gold will be chosen.

The Golden King did not reveal his identity at the beginning, but secretly accumulated his strength and became a new separatist force in the troubled times. However, this only made the troubled times more chaotic. However, the Golden King himself had an extremely amazing courage. He defeated the Silver King and the Green King successively, and then killed the Red King who could not be persuaded at all. Finally, he invited all the kings to the same place to prepare for peace talks.

Of course, at that time it was not only the royalists who controlled the local areas.

It's just that they are all part of the same system.

In fact, there are more ambitious people who have gained power.

Although it was almost consumed in the civil war.

It's unknown what method the new Golden King used to convince the remaining royals to jointly attack the Green King and the Gray King. After wiping out the discordant voices within the royal family, he quickly pacified the chaos and swept across Japan.

Then he handed himself over to Yukinoshita Yukino.

In fact, at this point, the pacification of Japan's chaos basically had little to do with Yukinoshita Yukino.

But then the narrative seems to have turned into a heroic view of history.

Although the mysterious side does follow the logic that the strong are respected.

But it should be said that even those few kings were not really in control of the situation in essence. Their own clans also had their own needs. Just like Sakuramichi Shu, this man did not have the qualities to become a so-called king in essence. He was only pushed to that position because of certain experiences in the past. If he were really asked to take over to manage the entire Japan, I am afraid that with his mind, he would soon be manipulated by some people with ulterior motives, even with the assistance of Yamagami.

Not to mention that Tsurugi Ya also has his own needs.

The reason why the new generation Golden King chose to hand himself over was very simple. His methods of pacifying the troubled times were too violent, and many times he did not use upright methods. For example, when he dealt with the Green King and the Gray King, he did not hesitate to use decapitation tactics in the subsequent pacification process. Perhaps this could indeed help him speed up the pacification of the troubled times in Japan, but he was not a suitable candidate for the subsequent governance.

So he had to choose someone who could take on all aspects of responsibility.

And Yukinoshita Yukino is his choice.

After all, this person has the support of the Penglai organization, and that organization has a good relationship with the Blue King and the Colorless King.

Although in reality, to be honest, any one of the three Penglai sects, even if it appeared alone, could end the chaos as quickly as the Golden King, but the three sects restrained each other. In addition, Justisia Rizleich von Einzbern of the android sect had no possibility of becoming that kind of person. The remaining two sects had no idea what the intentions of Ling Wuji, who was almost reclusive at the time, were. So they remained motionless while restraining each other and just honestly ran the game.
