Seemingly guessing his thoughts, Uedano excitedly said, "We did it once in the last century, and we almost succeeded!"
Watanabe Ichijo understood the meaning behind his words, but his mood was not greatly affected.
He has always been a calm, even ruthless, person, and it is impossible for him to sacrifice his life for his country because of a few casual words from the other party.
He values his own interests more.
Seeing that he remained silent, Ueda's tone became more threatening: "Your sister gave birth last month. The baby is very cute and healthy. I saw him this morning."
Watanabe remained silent, but his breathing was noticeably heavier over the phone.
Uedano waited patiently for two seconds, and her tone became stiff: "Watanabe-kun, you don't want other people to know about you and your sister, do you?"
“I will do it!” Watanabe Ichijo took a deep breath and said, “This is for the glory of the Empire!”
“Of course,” Uedano smiled, “the Empire will not mistreat any warrior; they will all be safe and sound.”
After hanging up the phone, Watanabe Ichijo cursed, "Baka!"
But he felt mostly helpless.
Everyone has something more important than their own life.
Unfortunately, his weakness was precisely what his superiors seized upon.
As a top student at the University of Tokyo, he did not sit idly by and wait for his fate, but instead began to plan carefully.
It was obvious that the United States was behind this; otherwise, given his superior's cautious nature, he would never have uttered the words "shattered jade."
Although the United States refuses to show itself directly, it can assist with some intelligence work.
In addition, there are his own downlines.
Apart from a few brainwashed idiots, the truth must not be revealed to anyone else. The information given to them can be slightly modified, and the spies can also be used.
Watanabe Ichijo locked himself in a dark room, staring at the flickering computer screen, and gradually made a clear plan.
"Even with the technological means of the United States, it is impossible to eavesdrop on useful information, so this approach is definitely not feasible."
"The idea of bribery is utter nonsense. If it were feasible, the Americans would have done it already. They're experts at remote dog breeding..."
"It seems the only option is to 'die in glory'..."
He pondered the information he had received.
Let's not even mention Director Zhao; taking action against someone like that is practically a declaration of war.
In addition, there are several key figures at that base...
"Lei Yao, Liu Chongyu, Zhang Yu, Guan Mi."
These names flashed through his mind one by one.
The four's special circumstances are hardly a secret and can be easily discovered.
"Oh, right, there's also Lu Mengdi, who just joined."
As for Liu Sheng's ascent to the mountain, Watanabe Ichijo is currently unaware of it.
He decided to focus his efforts on these individuals.
However, he didn't hold out much hope.
According to intelligence, Lei Yao is almost "resurrected from the dead." Such a person certainly knows the most secrets, but it is almost impossible to get him to talk.
Liu Chongyu, this official of the Great Xia Dynasty, was extremely cautious. He surrounded himself as if he were surrounded by an impregnable fortress, making it impossible for anyone to take action against him.
Zhang Yu seems to have many flaws, but before we've even made contact with him, we've already indirectly lost a lot of manpower in this period of time.
As for Kanmi, Watanabe Ichijo instinctively felt that he shouldn't provoke him personally.
Based on the information he received, this woman's special qualities surpassed those of others.
At least Lei Yao's relatives have never received any special treatment from that Director Zhao.
His imagination ran wild, and he guessed that this woman might be the incarnation of that dragon.
The dragon in the Bahia culture is ever-changing; it might very well transform into a human!
Of course, this is even more bizarre than the existence of a divine dragon in the Great Xia Dynasty.
He was just thinking about it.
“The biggest breakthrough should be with Lu Mengdi,” Watanabe Ichijo thought to himself. “Even if she knows less, getting close to her will give us the best chance of obtaining information.”
After a moment's thought, he decided to send his top agents to target this area.
Besides that, he thought of another special person.
Chapter 90 The Changes of the Big Blue Fish
Watanabe Ichijo is always cautious in his actions.
When he first started paying attention to the Yatoushan incident, he focused his attention on Director Zhao.
During this period, he paid attention to the officials promoted by Director Zhao, the companies he visited, and the people he comforted.
One person caught his attention.
The man's name was Su Nan, he was in his thirties, and his background was ordinary.
But this seemingly ordinary guy inexplicably entered the Great Xia system and rose through the ranks like a rocket.
Even though they didn't get into the core departments, the whole thing was still strange.
He learned through various overt and covert sources that this person was receiving special treatment from Director Zhao.
How could such a coincidence happen in the world?
Previously, Watanabe Ichijo felt shrouded in mystery, but after receiving news about the dragon from Uedano, he suddenly felt enlightened.
This guy is very likely related to that suspected dragon at the Yatoushan base!
Watanabe Ichijo even suspected that this unassuming guy was the incarnation of that dragon!
Of course, this possibility is as extremely slim as the possibility that Guan Mi is the incarnation of that dragon.
The most likely explanation is that the other party has some connection with that dragon.
Perhaps he once saved a dragon in distress, or perhaps his ancestors had dealings with it.
His earlier attempts to follow the man and almost being discovered only solidified his belief in this.
Ordinary people don't have that kind of perception!
He decided to focus his attention on Su Nan.
This is a hidden line that few people pay attention to.
You could try starting with him; you might be surprised by what you find.
If he is more valued by that dragon, it wouldn't be a problem if he were to be retaliated against for harming him.
Since Ueda is threatening him, why not give him a huge surprise?
A madness gleamed in Watanabe Ichijo's eyes.
……
Su Nan sat at her desk, looking energetic, engrossed in processing the documents at hand.
He suddenly felt an itch in his nose, sneezed, and looked up involuntarily: "Who's thinking about me? Could it be my brother?"
His brother was soaking in the cold lake water.
From the old locust tree halfway up the mountain, you can clearly see the white shadow that looks like a ribbon in the middle of the lake.
The white shadow drifted with the lake water, never revealing its full form.
This is Bai Lin.
He spent the whole night yesterday searching all the Dragon Locking Wells, but found nothing.
These Dragon Locking Wells all look like poor imitations, lacking even the slightest trace of dragon energy.
The continuous travel had depleted his spiritual energy considerably.
Now, taking advantage of his time sleeping in the water, he is also making the most of his recovery.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes.
A large blue carp, about half a meter long, appeared in front of him.
The big blue carp is cunning and has a pair of shifty eyes. Its most striking feature is its two golden whiskers, which add to its mystique.
"No news?" Bai Lin asked.
The big bluefish nodded in a human-like manner.
“Then keep looking. Come find me when you find it,” Bai Lin said.
The big blue carp nodded, flicked its tail, and left.
Mountains and rivers are connected.
Duck Claw Lake is not a stagnant body of water.
It's not difficult to reach the ocean from here.
With the abilities of this large bluefish, it is clearly capable of doing so.
Having received a drop of dragon blood as enlightenment, it was originally clueless but had now become a demon beast.
It was the one that Bai Lin had caught from Qinglong Lake.
The big blue carp, which had been lingering at the bottom of Qinglong Lake for years, was fortunate enough to be infected by the seal, which gave it a touch of the extraordinary.
Bai Lin originally wanted to capture it to improve the taste, but Guan Mi couldn't bear to part with it and wanted to keep it as a pet.
Considering that he needed to search for dragon energy everywhere and lacked helpers, Bai Lin thought it over and decided to give it a chance, transforming it into a demon beast.
He ordered the giant bluefish to search for dragon energy in all the lakes and rivers within a radius of dozens of miles, but to no avail.
Now he simply lets the guy go further away.
"No one is to be hurt!" Bai Lin reminded him.
The large bluefish, having swum a hundred meters away, paused briefly, obediently nodded its large head, and continued swimming further into the distance.
Lei Yao, who was practicing sword control by the lake, vaguely sensed a special aura flashing in the water.
He turned his head and glanced at the black sword floating in front of him, which also turned around, as if in sync with his thoughts, its tip pointing towards the lake.
Sensing the threat, the big bluefish sped up, creating a white wave in the water.
“It must be related to Mr. Bai!” Lei Yao noticed the faint blue color and was slightly surprised.
But he was already used to it.
All the extraordinary abilities on this mountain were brought by the white dragon.
Including himself.
He waved his right hand, and the black sword spun in the air with a "whoosh".
He raised his right hand, and the short sword was easily tucked into his sleeve.
After skillfully completing this step, he pursed his lips, revealing a hint of joy.
He had not stabbed himself nearly five hundred times in a row.
According to Mr. Bai, he can now finally control it with ease.
This incredible skill filled him with joy.
As for Bai Lin's regret that the magic sword was of poor quality and could not be stored in the Niwan Palace, making it somewhat troublesome to use, he did not have so many extravagant hopes.
In his view, having such miraculous abilities that he could only dream of before was enough to satisfy him.
"The next step is what Mr. Bai mentioned: trying to fly on a sword," Lei Yao thought to himself.
His eyes revealed even more longing.
……
Lu Mengdi was trimming the branches in front of her, her eyes also filled with anticipation for the future.
