I joined the group chat as Aizen in the Ninja World

"Don't be so angry. After all, you are the protagonist today." An Ran smiled and said, "Besides, the observer has no ill will towards us."

Brad was silent for a moment, then asked faintly, "Who is it?"

"Don't you have the answer in your heart?" An Ran blinked.

"She's not dead after all." Brad took a breath and whispered, "What is her purpose?"

"Then you need to ask her yourself." After saying that, An Ran turned and left the secret room.

Brad remained where he was, looking at his dead father with a somewhat complicated expression on his face.

Book Artist: So, who is the person who is monitoring?

An Ran has posted the interesting things that she and Brad experienced, which obviously aroused the curiosity of the group members.

Skirt-Up Maniac: Ah, could it be Prince Brad's dead mother?

Lazy Kitten: Which mother, biological mother or adoptive mother?

Skirt-lifting maniac: Adoptive mother?

Riri Saten was a little unsure.

She had originally guessed it was her adoptive mother, but when she saw Qi Luoli mention her biological mother, she hesitated. It was true that normally the dead could not be resurrected, but the demon hunter world was very special.

There are all kinds of strange monsters, as well as spirits such as demons and banshees that are condensed from human souls.

and so.

If it is true that his biological mother turned into a spirit after her death and was watching over Brad, it would make sense.

This is an actor: the foster mother, the sorceress named Hilja.

Skirt-lifting maniac: Ah, she is not dead after all! It seems that my guess was right!

Book Artist: How did you guess that?

Skirt-Lifting Maniac: That’s what I was thinking. After all, she’s a sorceress... How could she be killed so easily by a small king? Wouldn’t that be too degrading?

Lazy Kitten: Poof! You don't know how many sorceresses a certain bald guy in the future has killed. Not only that, but he's also done so many inhumane things to them.

Miss Beaver: Little bald head?

Lazy Kitten: That's Radovid V, who's on Anran's must-kill list! He's also a small-time king, but he really took down a bunch of sorceresses.

Skirt-Lifting Maniac: Okay, I had a preconceived notion. If sorceresses can indeed be killed by ordinary people, then how did Hilja survive?

This is an actor: Indeed, warlocks in this world can easily be defeated by ordinary people if they are careless. Their defenses are weak, and their vulnerable points are no different from those of ordinary people. However, this is ultimately based on a certain level of carelessness. If a warlock is fully prepared, he can even defeat a dragon.

Shark-Faced Guy: I see. At that time, Hilja was already wary of the king. So, she faked her death!

Book Artist: So that’s how it is!

Eriri suddenly understood. If prepared, ordinary people really had no way to defeat someone with extraordinary abilities. It was normal for them to be deceived.

This is an actor: Well, this is the situation.

Skirt-Lifting Maniac: Wait, what's the reason? I imagine that if Hilja had wanted to, she could have killed Henselt, right? She could have even used a deceptive spell to turn him into a puppet. But she chose to fake her own death to escape. Why?

This is an actor: putting aside the superficial aspects and looking at the essence, since she chose to fake her own death, there must have been a reason for it. In other words, she had to die at that time.

Hatchet Girl: Forced by some force or someone?

Curly Hair: Humph! To be able to force a sorceress, and this sorceress is also a queen. Obviously, there is a powerful person behind this.

Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: Dear, you already know who it is, right?

This is an actor: it’s Taoyuan Society.

Miss Beaver: Hmm, the name sounds like an organization?

This is an actor: Ahem, a sorcerer organization. It's called the Peach Blossom Spring Society, and as the name suggests, its members all believe they live in a paradise, an ideal country.

Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: This is truly...arrogant.

That's right.

In Xiaonan's opinion, an organization with such a name is arrogant. It is as if they are detached from the world, looking down on everything from a high place.

1002 Rebel

Skull Island Handsome Guy: Well, I don't think we can draw such a conclusion. Maybe this name is just for publicity?

Skirt-lifting maniac: That’s possible.

Lin Fengjiao: Regardless of whether it's just a gimmick, this organization is probably quite ambitious. And to be able to allow a sorceress, especially one with the Queen's identity, to fake her own death and escape, they must be incredibly powerful.

Curly-haired guy: Wow, Feng Jiao-san seems to know a lot.

Lin Fengjiao: I am only analyzing based on the existing information. What do you mean by being sarcastic?

Curly-haired boy: Humph, I'm just reminding you to remember the important things. You should still be fighting with that imperial master right now, right?

Lin Fengjiao: That doesn’t stop me from joining the group chat.

indeed.

At present, Lin Fengjiao is still leading her team in a tug of war with Cihang Pudu. They have encountered several waves of monster assassinations along the way.

Fortunately, he was strong enough, so there were no major casualties in the team.

"Damn it, this evil monk!" Beside him, Zuo Qianhu, who had a small mustache, spat fiercely. "Why would the court allow such an evil monk to cause chaos in the government?"

He really didn't understand, he really didn't understand.

It was originally just a simple mission to exile a criminal, but ended up encountering this kind of thing.

The criminal minister he had exiled turned out to be a loyal minister, and the great imperial tutor in the court, who held the highest position among the officials, turned out to be a monster. And it wasn't just an ordinary monster, this monster could even transform into the Tathagata Buddha!

If it weren't for the help from the master named Lin Jiu, he would probably be dead now.

Even so, this experience left a deep shadow in Zuo Qianhu's heart. The country and the court he once loved so much had changed beyond recognition.

The emperor, who was originally wise and virtuous in his eyes, became a tyrant who could not judge people.

This change made Zuo Qianhu somewhat disheartened, and he even wanted to commit suicide.

"The imperial court, to put it bluntly, still belongs to the royal family." The white-haired Minister Fu seemed to have finally figured everything out and said quietly, "How can we, as ministers, disobey the royal family?"

"Evildoers are in power, and evildoers are rampant." Zhiqiu Yiye shook his head with a sigh and said, "I'm afraid this dynasty won't last much longer."

"That's not something we should consider." Fu Qingyue glanced at the road ahead and said softly, "We should think carefully about what to do next. Do we really have to attack the Imperial City directly as Senior Lin Jiu said?"

"Only in this way can we clear my father's name." Fu Qingchi nodded.

"But, that's the Imperial City!"

"I know."

"Aside from that old monster, the imperial city is heavily guarded. There are countless martial arts masters, and there are also special imperial guards as guards!"

"I know."

"Just a few of us?"

"It doesn't matter. Senior Lin Jiu will take action."

"..."

Fu Qingyue was directly confronted and fell silent, staring at her sister with a dull look. Although she also believed that Senior Lin Jiu was very powerful and might be able to fight against the old monster.

But why would Senior Lin Jiu help us so recklessly? Is it a love affair? But Senior Lin Jiu is already so old. How could he be attracted to a little girl like you?

Fu Qingyue felt that her sister was overthinking things. However, after watching her exchange glances with Ning Caichen, she felt that it was inappropriate to say so.

My sister, she doesn't want to be a sea king, does she? Probably not, right?

Curly-haired boy: Good fellow! You are working so hard to help these two sisters, do you have any ulterior motives?

Lin Fengjiao: What’s your intention?

Curly Hair: Damn, you're still pretending? What are you trying to do? Don't you have any idea? You're old, and you're still trying to pick up girls like others?

Lin Fengjiao: You, you are so slanderous to someone's innocence?

Curly-haired boy: Haha.

Lin Fengjiao: Mr. Lin is a family man.

Curly: That’s just your own world. You can totally say that you have no home in this world.

Lin Fengjiao: This...

Lazy Kitten:?

Scarlet Snake Fairy:?

The artist of the book: Damn, Uncle Jiu, you actually hesitated?

Hatchet Girl: I understand. It turns out all men are bad. Even Uncle Nine is no exception.

Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: My dear is still the most reliable, right everyone?

Lazy Kitten: Pfft, Sister Xiaonan is so mean! Who would dare to respond to you when you say that?

If they were right, then they were all hopeless. If they were wrong, they would offend An Ran. This Sister Xiaonan had recently become very good at palace fighting.

Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: Everyone is silent, why is my dear not speaking either?

This is an actor: I said I'm busy, do you believe me?

It's busy, but not that busy.

At this moment, there were already a pile of corpses lying around An Ran. These people had died in a very tragic way, and some of them were even dismembered.

Yes, he did this.

The unfortunate ones he had killed were actually a group of hired mercenaries from Novigrad, assigned by the little king.

However, these were not the reasons why they were killed, and their purpose was not to kill An Ran.

These mercenaries are here to take over the goods.

The cargo itself was a group of young men and women hiding in a cave not far away. They were selected from villages in various countries and were ready to be escorted back to Novigrad by these mercenaries.

After arriving in Novigrad, they will be trained together, and those with talent will join the witch hunter organization and become full-time witch killers.

Those without talent will be sent to the disciplinary department and trained to become machines that use their bodies to please others.

It's cruel, but that's how it is in this world.

Faced with mercenaries and powerful individuals, the lower classes could only submit. Or, even if they were sent to the disciplinary department, they at least had a chance of survival. Those children who weren't sent to the disciplinary department would die before reaching adulthood.

"Even though it's like this, it still makes me feel unhappy." An Ran sighed softly, gazing at the distant sky.

1003 Journey to Shurima

As early as the Naruto world, An Ran had already become a god. And after becoming a god, he could clearly feel that his humanity was being stripped away.

This is quite normal.

To refine and absorb the power of rules within oneself inevitably involves the withdrawal of one's own humanity, just as the Taoist saying "the highest state is to forget emotions" is true.

The transformation of realm, level and life will lead to a certain sublimation of the human self. In this sublimation process, unnecessary emotions will be discarded, which is the so-called human nature.

But An Ran never intended to give up this part of her emotions, and never thought it was unnecessary.

Humanity is the mark of being human. Without humanity, is one still human?

However, in pursuit of higher powers, gradually abandoning one's humanity seems to be an inevitable process. This creates a dilemma.

This is also why, after entering the Naruto world, An Ran's emotional fluctuations have become less and less.

In order to prevent the loss of her own humanity, An Ran planned a so-called journey to another world, where she would visit various worlds and experience their customs and cultures.

The effect is good and it really slows down the process of passing time.

But compared to the worlds I have visited before, the effect here is more obvious.

After witnessing the suffering and struggles of the people in this world, not only was the loss of his humanity halted, but it was even gradually restored. He began to become more and more like a human being.

It's just like An Ran said before, he's unhappy! Very unhappy!

He was very happy to be able to regain his humanity, but recovering in this way was not what he wanted.
