Survival Rules in the Otherworld

Saint, World, and Mechanical Ascension

"Sir, Miss Lingxia's information has been processed. She will be a student of the Private Shenghua Girls' College from now on. Do you think there is anything else we can do?"

In the afternoon, in an unknown school, an elderly man with white hair tremblingly handed a document to the blood-stained tactical doll, then stood aside, not daring to look at the black-haired young man by the windowsill.

Taking the document about Ling Xia, Ming Wuyou said nonchalantly:

"Not for now, but Principal Tamura, you won't be able to admit trash like that to our school in the future. Besides, all the schools in District 11 are funded by the Empire. If a scandal breaks out, it won't just be your insignificant interests that will be lost. The Empire's reputation is something that can't be repaired with just your head."

As soon as Ming Wuyou finished speaking, the extremely nervous Tiancun knelt down directly, doing the earth-stepping posture while trying his best to explain:

"Sir, I really don't know anything about Dong Gang's affairs. He must have been recruited by those people on the board of directors. If it weren't for your intervention, I wouldn't have known that such a scum would want to sneak into our school.

Don't worry, I will immediately check the identities and backgrounds of all the teachers in the school and will absolutely not tolerate the presence of those unreliable freshmen!"

After saying that, Tamura glanced at the headless corpse beside him with lingering fear. The smell of blood and brain matter mixed together made him want to vomit.

Dong Gang, who is quite famous in the baseball world, was expelled from his original club due to some troublesome things. In order to increase the popularity of the school, the school directors took the initiative to invite Dong Gang to join the school.

Although he tacitly agreed to this matter, Dong Gang came here for the first day and was ready to say hello to him as the principal, but he did not expect to run into Ming Wuyou in the corridor.

Ming Wuyou, who originally came here just to solve Lingxia's academic problem, did not expect that he would accidentally run into the Minotaur here.

Originally, he just wanted the other party to go to St. Elizabeth to study psychiatry, but he didn't expect that the other party not only did not surrender, but instead launched an attack on him.

Out of an instinctive reaction of self-preservation, Ming Wuyou had no choice but to let the other party eat a basket of peanuts, and then let the tactical humanoid carry the other party's headless body to the principal's office, and then the scene at the beginning happened.

Ming Wuyou kept looking at the scenery outside the window, ignoring Tiancun's intentions at all, until the tall male corpse behind Tiancun had begun to stink, then he walked around Tiancun who was kneeling on the ground and walked out the door.

"I've remembered what you said. I'll stay here for the next week. If you can really handle it, I'll leave. But if you can't, then you can leave."

Walking out of the principal's office, Ming Wuyou smelled the bloody air, and felt a little more disgusted with the natives of District 11.

[Master, the system has just received the latest information from the Protectorate's internal network. Dong Gang is suspected to be a member of a resistance organization. This academy is suspected of being infiltrated by the resistance organization. If you don't mind, please clean up this school. The Protectorate will pay you a satisfactory reward.]

A cold mechanical sound came from behind him. The blood-stained tactical figure flashed a strange red light. A specific message was transmitted to Ming Wuyou's mobile phone through the built-in terminal of the tactical figure. After reading the message on the phone, Ming Wuyou said in a bored tone:

"Resistance organizations? Aren't all the real resistance organizations dead? Are the current ones either faked by people from the Protectorate, or some idiots swindling people under the banner of resistance? Let the Internal Affairs Bureau handle these things. I'm not interested."

Hearing Ming Wuyou's reply, the tactical humanoid once again flashed a strange red light, and then released an electronic magnetic field, cutting the space where he and Ming Wuyou were.

"Master, this is the Governor's wish. She hopes you can stay here for a while longer, using Dong Gang's identity as a rebel group to stir up some trouble. Only by making a big noise can the Governor protect you."

"Why? He suddenly did something like this. Could it be that the old man in the capital is dying and wants to get rid of us who are a threat so that my precious niece can ascend the throne?"

"Master, among the existing royal bloodline, only you and that one have not undergone prosthetic transformation. The other princes have already undergone ascension rituals to achieve immortality and were impeached and removed from office by the cabinet. Therefore, to be more precise, you are the only prince capable of threatening that one."

Hearing the cold mechanical voice, Ming Wuyou was stunned for a moment, and then he slowly asked:

"They all ascended. It happened at that time."

[According to the system log, it should be during the period when you were obsessed with cleansing District 11 that three vassal kings sent you relevant information, but you seem to have blocked them long ago.]

"Is it too late to ascend now?"

"I'm sorry, Master. The resources of the Great Underworld are currently insufficient. We can only support five people to complete the Ascension Ceremony. The last spot was reserved a day ago."

"who's that person?"

[I'm sorry, Master, that person has higher authority than you. I don't have the right to view it.]

"You don't need to check. In the entire empire, there's only one person with higher authority than me. How come, even this old man couldn't resist the temptation of eternal life?"

[Master, be careful with your words. The electronic magnetic field is not hidden. The authority of the saint is above all else.]

Ming Wuyou stopped talking and just sighed helplessly. According to the ancient tradition of this empire, the heirs of the empire must play an unlimited chicken game. Only the one who survives in the end can inherit the empire, and in the end only one person can survive.

The participants in this fight are all people of royal blood, regardless of gender. Surrender and abstention are not allowed. No one can escape this fight unless they have done something that is against the will of heaven, extremely evil, and against human nature and have been impeached and removed from the Imperial Cabinet.

"As I recall, I have already voluntarily given up my inheritance rights and even my royal status."

Hoping for luck, Ming Wuyou tried to speak, but the tactical humanoid's cold voice still lacked a trace of warmth.

[Sorry, your waiver is invalid. Even though you are a murderer, greedy, lustful, worse than an animal, and morally corrupt, with a lot of the legacy of Wei Wu, and have brought the imperial family's reputation to its lowest point since the founding of the country, and even the absurdity of Emperor Taishang Daojun is far less than yours, the imperial family is still willing to accept you. You will always be a loyal vassal of the Great Ming.]

"During my tenure as Governor, I issued 23 purge orders without any reason, leaving District 11 with almost no young and able-bodied labor. This was such a heinous and unjust act, and yet the Cabinet never impeached me once?"

[Yes, in the 13th year of the Tianqi reign, the chief minister of the cabinet, along with all the other officials, presented a memorial in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, stating that the barbarians feared power rather than virtue, and that killing Prince You was a good deed. It not only avenged the crown prince but also made the Japanese aware of the might of the Celestial Empire. It was a virtue and a hero, not a crime. Later, the chief minister publicly stated that if Prince You was interested in the throne, he would be willing to help him ascend.]

The cold mechanical voice spoke of the cold reality. Ming Wuyou, completely speechless, leaned against the wall, trying to calm the urge in his heart that was about to vomit blood.

......

At the same time, Jiuzhou came to the capital, inside the Zhengde Palace.

An old man, whose body had been transformed into a mechanical one by 90%, looked at the girl opposite him and made a strange and cold mechanical sound:

"You've arrived just in time. There's no need to call anyone else, and don't publicize this matter. While I'm still alive and officially the emperor of this empire, go to District 11 and deal with your uncle. He killed your parents. Now, it's your turn to seek revenge."

Early morning, rainy, dim interrogation room.

Ming Wuyou looked at the young man who was brought in this time and asked skillfully:

"Name."

The young man with his hood covered was obviously a little scared. His body had been shaking non-stop since he was handcuffed to the chair. The sound of the chains colliding made Ming Wuyou gradually feel annoyed. He raised the gun in his right hand and aimed at the young man in front of him.

"Katase Shouya!"

Perhaps sensing the danger of death, Katase Sho answered Ming Wuyou's question with a trembling voice, and Ming Wuyou just felt even more bored. He put down the gun in his hand and picked up the file that had been prepared long ago.

"Katase Shoya, the baseball club's ace player, has achieved outstanding results in many youth baseball tournaments held in District 11. He is expected to join the District 11 team in the future and become the youngest professional baseball player in District 11's history. I have to say, Katase Shoya, you originally had a bright future, but..."

Ming Wuyou tapped the table with his fingers as he spoke. The depressing atmosphere and low tone were gradually breaking down Katase Shoya's mental defenses.

"It's just that, Katase Shoya-san, a week ago, you seemed to have had close contact with an extremely dangerous organization."

"I, I, sir, sir, I haven't done anything bad! I don't even know who they are. I was just dragged in by them! I didn't listen to a word they said. I have no connection with them whatsoever!"

In view of the extreme behavior of the young man handcuffed to the iron chair, the tactical humanoid standing behind him directly pressed Katase Sho down. The cold mechanical arm prevented Katase Sho from moving at all, and the electric current transmitted from the mechanical arm made him scream.

The electric shock lasted for a long time, until the moment when Katase Shoya's health value reached the danger line, Ming Wuyou skillfully took out the cotton stuffed in his ears and put down Katase Shoya's file.

"It seems you know their identities, members of the resistance organization. You dare to touch those weird things. Are you really not afraid that they will open their hearts to you?"

Katase Shoya had been stimulated by the electric motor to the point of being in a daze. He seemed to want to say something in a daze, but Ming Wuyou was not interested in his affairs and just said some polite words according to the rules.

"Shoya, don't be so nervous. The Empire won't wrongly accuse a good person, nor will it let a bad person go. Right now, you're just a suspect. We won't do anything dangerous to you. Just stay here and wait for us to investigate thoroughly. We'll make a decision naturally."

Walking out of the dim interrogation room, Ming Wuyou came to another room. Compared with the previous interrogation room, this room was at least a little more normal. At least the bright light relieved the fear of the girl who had been sitting on the chair.

"Ms. Nanao Akane, is that right?"

Ming Wuyou sat in front of Nanao Akane, looking at Nanao Akane who was handcuffed and leaning on the iron chair.

The blue eyes, the short purple hair, the delicate face, the plump figure, and the justice that was so big that it could make Lianhua cry, each of them was an exquisite existence that could seduce people's desires.

"Yes, I'm Nanao Akane. Sir, what exactly happened? Why did those military police bring us directly here? What happened to my companions?"

Nanao Akane, who had no idea how long she had been in the interrogation room, saw Ming Wuyou with a kind face and subconsciously sought help from Ming Wuyou. At this time, she did not know that the person standing in front of her would cause her to fall.

"Ms. Nanao Akane, please don't be so excited. I will only ask you a few questions. If you can answer them well, I will let you go."

"But! What on earth are Shouya and the others...hmm~"

Akane Nanao looked at the muzzle of the gun pointed at her head with some fear, the cold mechanical fingers lightly stroked the trigger, and the cold tactical humanoid eyes flashed with a strange red light. The fear of death made Akane Nanao gradually calm down.

"Well, Miss Nanao Akane, you've been here for a long time. I'm sure your parents are starting to get worried. If you can cooperate well, I promise you can be reunited with your family."

"Well, I, I understand."

Ming Wuyou opened the file bag containing information about Nanao Akane and asked:

"Akane Nanao, I heard that you recently became the manager of the baseball club."

"Yes."

"Did you join the baseball club because of Katase Shouya?"

"Well, can I not answer this question?"

"I'm sorry, but this is a crucial question and you must answer it."

"Yes, I joined the baseball club because of Katase Shouya."

"Specific reasons."

"Huh? What?"

"More specifically, what was it about Katase Shouya that made you decide to join the baseball club?"

"Sir, this is completely my privacy! I have the right to refuse to answer!"

"I'm sorry, Miss Qian, but you don't have the right to refuse unless you want you and your family to get into more trouble."

"That's possible. What happened between Shouya and I is nothing! You're invading my privacy!"

Nanao Akane shouted loudly at Ming Wuyou, as if she had forgotten the fear of being threatened by the tactical humanoid just now.

"Ms. Akane Nanao, I'm not interested in your so-called privacy right now, but I can guarantee that if you don't answer my questions truthfully, in three minutes, a team of well-trained Imperial military and police will come to your home and arrest everyone connected to you. You will then be handed over to the Factory Security Department for interrogation by professionals. I don't know what happens after that, but...

If you were still as lucid and conscious as you are now, I believe you would regret not confessing everything to me. As for now, you still have one chance, one chance to change what I said above. I will only wait for you for one minute. After one minute, if you still refuse to cooperate with me like you do now, then there is no need for me to waste my time.

He put down the documents in his hand and looked at the frightened Akane Nanao across from him. Although all the female characters in this world were extremely beautiful, only one of them was too intelligent. For a woman like this, Ming Wuyou felt that he could lie to her a hundred times without repeating himself.

A few seconds later, Nanao Akane couldn't bear the unknown pressure and confessed everything to Ming Wuyou:

"When I first entered school, I had to give up my favorite hobby, swimming, because my breasts were too developed. When I was feeling depressed, I could see Shoya working hard every day.

Because I admired that hardworking figure and wanted to get to know Shoya better, I joined the baseball club and became the manager of the baseball field. Eventually, I gradually fell in love with Shoya.

Talking about her experience with Shoya Katase, Akane Nanao showed a happy smile on her face, and a hint of love for Shoya appeared in her blue eyes.

Seeing Nanao Akane's current state, Ming Wuyou became more interested. He couldn't wait to see what Akane would look like after she fell.

"Ms. Nanao Akane, your story is very interesting. Now, I just have one last question. Have you and Katase Shouya ever had any intimate contact?"

"Um~ No, no, although I love Katase Shouya deeply, Shouya-kun has always been a very conservative person. Plus, we haven't been together for long, so we haven't even touched hands. At most, we just call each other by our names when we are alone."

"Oh, is that really the case? So, Ms. Qian has remained pure until now."

Akane Nanao lowered her head very low, as if this was something very shameful.

"Yeah, until now, I am still pure."

Fallen Akane (2)

"Okay, now that Miss Nanao Akane has explained everything, you can leave now."

Ming Wuyou's words shocked Nanao Akane, who was immersed in shyness. She originally thought that Ming Wuyou would embarrass her for a while, or touch her or something, but she didn't expect it to end so soon.

"Can I really leave now?"

"Yes, you can go now. Someone will take you back."

"What about Shoya! Where is he? Can he come back with me?"

Hearing that Nanao Akane finally asked this question, Ming Wuyou felt a little happy. He stood up and walked to Nanao Akane's side and untied the shackles on her.

"I'm sorry, Miss Nanao Akane, but Shouya will need to stay here for a while. He seems to have some connections with the resistance organization, and we need to investigate."

"What! How is this possible! Xiang isn't that kind of person! There's no way he would be involved with those things, sir, is there some misunderstanding here?!"

Akane Nanao rushed to Ming Wuyou's front, and her soft justice hit Ming Wuyou's chest. She was so excited that she completely forgot where this place was. At this moment, she was only worried about Shoya's situation.

"I don't know the specifics, but the factory guards will take him away in three days. It won't be my business then, and I'm not interested in what happens to him."

Ming Wuyou pushed Nanawei Akane away and walked towards the door. Not long after, Nanawei Akane caught up with him, hugged his hand tightly and begged:

"Sir! There must be some misunderstanding regarding Shoya. Please help us and don't let those people take Shoya away. If Shoya is taken away by those people, he will definitely get into trouble!"

The huge, soft thing hit her body again and again, and Qian's face had a very pitiful expression.

Although the people in District 11 don't know much about the Factory Guards, the legend of the Factory Guards has long been demonized by rumors and turned into an indescribable existence. In Akane Nanao's cognition, if Shoya goes in, something will definitely happen.

"Miss Nanao, do you really want to save that person?"

"Yes! Please help Shouya. He's definitely not a bad person and would never do anything dangerous! There must be a misunderstanding here!"

"Actually, with my authority, it's not impossible to save him, but..."
