"how about you?"

Tendo Mu asked subconsciously.

"......"

There was no more voice from the Holy Emperor on the communicator.

But Tiantong Mu could see that the Holy Emperor was still slumped on the podium.

Sitting in the sea of ​​fire, without any movement, she just looked up at the sky weakly, as if... she accepted her own ending.

"Holy Son of Heaven!"

67. Investigation of Lingyi's Successor

“…”

There is no fear of the sea of ​​fire, no anger towards the people, and no sorrow for failure.

At this moment, the Holy Emperor felt neither sad nor happy.

Listening to the people's completely irrational roars and looking at the blue sky above the flames, she now had only one feeling - she was a little tired and could finally rest.

She suddenly thought of Lingyi and the task on the virtual screen.

She had clearly prepared to pursue a girl a long time ago, but in the end she couldn't even meet her in person.

The mission reward was so incredible, but now she no longer had the chance to obtain it.

After I die, will the mission be transferred to someone else?

do not know.

The Holy Emperor is no longer willing to think about these things.

It doesn't matter anymore. I can't do anything anyway.

········

If we go by the memories of her previous life, Lingyi wanted to find someone to govern the world after she cleaned it up, then the only person who could be that person in Black Bullet is the Saint Emperor.

Although she is a bit of a vase, she still cares about the people and is always trying to find ways to make people accept the cursed child.

This is so rare.

It's like a small white flower blooming among a bunch of dark evil flowers.

Especially after clearing out more than a dozen cities, Lingyi became even more aware of the degree of anthropomorphism in this world.

None of those in the ruling class are human beings. They don’t care about the country or the people at all.

They have the highest power, but are also almost the greatest evil in the city.

Not only do they not regard the cursed children as human beings, they don't even regard other humans as human beings.

They are nothing but blood slaves, livestock, and pigs.

And for this kind of trash, no matter how capable he is, he will only end up with a tragic death in Lingyi's place.

However, Lingyi's understanding of the Holy Emperor is entirely through his memories of his previous life.

However, the content shown in the anime is not much. What is the Holy Emperor like in reality and whether there are any differences with the character in the anime, all these need to be confirmed by Lingyi personally.

On the way to the Tokyo area, Lingyi let the Hercules Base drive automatically while searching for information about the Holy Son on the Internet.

First use this method to get a simple understanding, and then make a judgment on good and evil when you actually meet.

Then you don’t know until you see it. After reading it, you will find that there are many truths about the cursed child on the Internet.

Someone posted this information online and called on people to stop persecuting the Cursed Son.

Ling Yi clicked in to take a look, then exited after a short while.

You can't watch it, it will only make your murderous intent surge.

There is nothing wrong with the exposed videos, photos and information. The problem is that there are too many inhuman people in the comment section.

Occasionally, there would be a few reflective and sympathetic comments, but they would immediately be attacked by others.

Ling Yi delved deeper into the source of the information, and discovered that the person who sent these truths seemed to be her current target - the Holy Emperor.

Soon she discovered the recent actions of the Holy Emperor, who, regardless of public opinion, forcibly pushed forward the establishment of the "New Law of the Protogastrics" to give the cursed children the human rights they deserved.

As a result, the support rate of the Holy Emperor has plummeted in recent days.

"Did you notice something? You're quite perceptive."

I just don't know why the Holy Emperor did this.

Judging from the character settings we know from the anime, the Holy Emperor definitely wants to save people before the purge comes.

But this is reality, and the other party's character may be different from that in the anime, so the Holy Emperor may do this just for himself, and may just want to save his life when the purge comes.

She hoped it was the former.

Although she will cleanse the world of pests, it does not mean that the world will become an ideal country without evil.

The remaining innocent people may also become pests in the future due to various factors.

The reason they are innocent is simply because they have not done evil before, but there is no guarantee that they will not do evil in the future.

A bad environment will increase the probability of such things happening, just like the high crime rate in the world today, which is definitely affected by the bad environment.

But a wise decision-maker can improve the environment and stabilize people's hearts, thereby reducing the possibility of people doing evil.

In the world of Highschool of the Dead, she was unable to find a qualified successor, which forced her to disband the survivor base and let people survive on their own.

She doesn't want the world to repeat the same mistakes.

It's not enough to just kill the pests, she hopes to do the best possible job of cleaning up afterward.

With this in mind, Lingyi conducted more investigations and inquiries about the Holy Emperor.

For example, the life experience of the Holy Emperor, the things he did, his ideas on governing the people and politics, and so on.

After taking a look, Lingyi was quite satisfied.

The more anthropomorphic things you see, the more it highlights how rare normal people like the Holy Emperor are.

Although she did not do much in the two years since she took the throne because the real power was in the hands of Tendo Kikunosho, every thing she did was undoubtedly a wise move that benefited the country and the people, and therefore she gained a high support rate.

Moreover, from these things, we can see to some extent that the Holy Emperor does have certain abilities.

Tendo Kikunosuke seemed to be training him as his successor, so he really spared no effort in cultivating his abilities.

The next step is to have a meeting and make the final judgment of good and evil - if all goes well, the successor of this world can basically be determined.

The only problem is that the Holy Emperor is only sixteen years old, which is still the age of a high school student.

If the Holy Emperor is essentially a kind and good person, and is so young, Lingyi is a little worried that the Holy Emperor might be too kind.

As a decision-maker, you cannot govern a country well by relying on kindness alone.

Excessive kindness is even hypocrisy!

If that's the case, Lingyi might have to spend some time training the Holy Emperor.

Of course, the premise is that the kindness of the Holy Emperor does not harm innocent people. For example, if he lets go of pests because of his kindness, the pests may harm innocent people.

This is just like those who protect zombies and pests, they are all accomplices.

This will be automatically checked when judging good and evil.

However, Lingyi felt that the problem should not be serious.

She remembered that in the original work, there were two descriptions of the Holy Emperor.

First, in diplomacy, when facing more powerful old rulers, the weakness of young people in the face of the older generation will be exposed.

From this, it can be seen that the Holy Emperor is still relatively immature and undoubtedly needs correction and training.

Secondly, she directly gave the right to deal with the captain of the guard who revealed his true identity and almost killed the cursed child and Rentaro Satomi to Rentaro Satomi.

At that time, Rentaro Satomi could have shot the captain of the guard in front of Sheng Tianzi.

So although the Holy Emperor is merciful, I think he is not so merciful that he is afraid of bloodshed.

But at that time, Rentaro Satomi only crippled the guard captain's hand...

········

P.S.: Sheng Tianzi will not kill her. Killing her is completely indiscriminate. I don't have any bad feelings towards her. She does not meet Ling Yi's definition of pests, but Satomi will kill her.

PS2: Lay the groundwork today and kill tomorrow

68. Three Indicators of Good and Evil

No one else - whether it was Tendo Kikunosho or other countries, or the individuals and organizations that promoted this matter and instigated the riots - had actually expected that the Holy Emperor would be burned to death.

They wanted to stir up trouble and teach the Holy Emperor a lesson, but who knew if these people were really that daring?

They really intended to burn the Holy Emperor to death. The extent of their madness was beyond even their own comprehension.

In the end, it can only be attributed to the fact that all parties were trying their best but there was not enough communication between them, which resulted in everyone trying too hard.

But it doesn’t matter.

Although it was not their intention, the people who died were not their own.

Moreover, the death of the Holy Emperor will undoubtedly deal a huge blow to the Tokyo District. Facing the upcoming new world, perhaps they can use this opportunity to directly kick out someone who is trying to share the cake.

They even plan to add fuel to the fire and expand the situation out of control to a larger extent.

The same thing - it doesn't matter. They don't care how many people will die, whether these people are innocent, or how much damage will be caused. Otherwise, there is no way they would bring something like a Molotov cocktail to a speech venue with a large crowd.

They just think that the power of the [bomb] is not strong enough and cannot directly blow up the entire Tokyo.

After all, what could the Tokyo District do to them afterwards? They would not be punished or retaliated against in any way.

If there are no consequences, then just do it!

The only one who was anxious was Tendo Kikunosuke, who also didn't expect his composure to get out of control to such an extent.

He had already issued orders immediately, even requesting the army to be dispatched to suppress the chaos.

But this takes time, and the out-of-control crowd will not give him that time.

So the second Molotov cocktail was thrown out as a matter of course.

The Molotov cocktail drew an arc in the air, dragging a dazzling tail of fire as it spun and hit the Holy Emperor's field of vision.

The swirling flames gradually grew larger in her eyes.

She closed her eyes silently, welcoming the coming pain and death.

"..."

Sudden--!

A strong wind came howling, and the violent gust of wind even blew the Holy Emperor off the ground.

No, that's not the wind.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw a delicate face right in front of her.

The girl's golden hair fluttered in the wind, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her emerald eyes were staring at the crazy crowd below.

"..."

Ling Yi withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the dazed Holy Emperor in his arms.

When he saw the Holy Son of Heaven surrounded by flames, the judgment of good and evil was completed and passed.

Therefore, she came to the rescue without hesitation.

As long as she passes her judgment of good and evil, she will show her gentle side.

"Are you okay?" Ling Yi's voice was surprisingly gentle to Sheng Tianzi's ears. "Are you hurt by the flames or pests?"

no answer.

The Holy Emperor suddenly hugged the girl who looked like a god in front of him tightly, and his delicate arms seemed to have used up all his strength.

This girl, who had never wavered in the face of the threat of death, now let go of all her reserve and etiquette, and cried like a child in Lingyi's arms.
