I'm a magnetic field madman

In the pure darkness, the light beneath their feet traced a complex pattern with five wings in a single stroke, and the shadowy outline became clear. Four other people appeared at the apex of the pentagram, all of them radiating a dim blue light, but they were merely virtual images.

"I think everyone is well aware of why I have gathered you all here today."

As the leader of the Five Flying Soaring Society, Qi Wuzongxuan spoke first, his gaze sweeping over everyone, his voice deep and authoritative...

"Tokyo, and Blue Dream Company, they have become rivals we must eliminate."

"Easier said than done. So how do you plan to deal with Blue Dream Company's colossus?"

The speaker was an ugly old man with high nasolabial folds, protruding eyes like goldfish, and wrinkles that looked like they could trap a mosquito... Even though it was just a virtual projection, you could still smell the stench of an old man on him.

Hiroki Ito, Foreign Minister of the Sendai region.

The infamous old man looked at Qi Wuzongxuan with his ugly little eyes, and said with malice...

"We're not like President Qi Wu; we still have powerful figures above us. Our Prime Minister Inao Shimaro of Sendai advocates for merging with Tokyo..."

Both deterrence based on their strength and agreement with their proposal to counterattack the Gastrea dominated the majority of the council.

"You haven't forgotten the foundation upon which our Five Soaring Falcons were founded, have you?" Qi Wuzong Xuan said in a chilling tone.

"Counterattack against the Gastrea? It's easy to do, but why would we do it? After wiping out all those Gastrea, where would we get 'that stuff'? Or are you planning to just retire from using it and die peacefully in bed from today onwards?"

Ito was speechless, only able to let out a cold snort and turn his head away. Meanwhile, another member, Hakata's acting prime minister, Shigeyama Yoshitaka, spoke up…

"Putting these issues aside, President Qi Wu, shouldn't our main concern be how to resolve the Blue Dream Company issue? I believe you must have your own plan and strategy before summoning us."

"That guy Ziyuan should have been expelled from the Five Flying Stars Association for serious dereliction of duty," Qi Wuzongxuan said expressionlessly.

"But considering his contributions to the organization, I gave him a chance to redeem himself—I obtained a newly developed miniature three-phase nuclear fusion bomb from the United States, powerful enough to destroy the Blue Dream Tower and the heart of central Tokyo, and it has now been transported to Tokyo."

"Of course, a single nuclear bomb cannot guarantee absolute success... so I also borrowed some permissions for a satellite weapon, which will be aimed at the Tokyo area in its orbit..."

If Ziyuan fails, we will immediately bomb the Tokyo area! We will use those fusion bombs to completely destroy the Tokyo area.

"While we will certainly suffer a great loss of energy, we will also remove the 'stagnant blood' within us. This is a healing process, perhaps destined to be painful, but it is what we must do!!"

This is the fundamental reason for Qi Wu Xuanzong's power, and also the reason he is the leader of the Five Flying Stars Society. Because he is the agent of those true behind-the-scenes manipulators across the ocean!

"Moreover, our research on gastritis is far superior to theirs... Although we haven't figured out the cause of gastritis microbial mutations in recent years... that power is something we can control!"

Qi Wu Xuanzong's eyes flashed, and he clenched his fists, saying fiercely...

"And once we master this power, we can, as we originally planned, use the modification of Gastrea and control of the export of birch to intimidate the world! No, we can even go further, not just the unification of Japan, but the entire world!"

Qi Wu spread his arms wide, as if the Earth was already in his arms, and shouted with unparalleled fervor...

"We will build an eternal empire belonging to Japan!"

The fanatical politicians failed to notice that a group of people standing at the foot of the towering Xuanwu Building were coldly watching their direction.

"Nonsense! You idiot, I'm going to kill him!"

In an inconspicuous bungalow on the street below the Xuanwu Building...

Wu Wei, Dong Xue, and other carefully selected magnetic field experts were watching the channel communications that Dong Xue had stolen through magnetic field power.

Although there is no brain-computer interface, AR projection still displays all the content of the Five Flying Association meeting.

Wu Wei was the first to lose her temper, her violent nature erupting... She stood up and roared, ready to tear that damned Japanese devil to shreds!

"Calm down! Avi, calm down!"

The calm Dongxue was the first to pull her enraged sworn sister back to her senses. Her eyes, flashing with red light, stared intently at Wu Wei, and she said in a deep voice…

"We didn't come here on impulse. We're not going to just rush in and kill him? If it were that simple, Qi Wuzongxuan wouldn't have survived seventeen assassination attempts! I know we're different, but do you understand the consequences of failure?!"

Wu Wei knew, of course, that by intercepting the other party's communications, she could clearly see that they were still planning to take action against their own country!

But if there's any good news, it's that they'll definitely try to eliminate the Blue Dream Company in Tokyo before they take action.

For Bai Wujie, whose level of madness far surpasses that of the Five Flying Sect, this might actually be a good thing.

If the assassination succeeds, all is well; but if it fails, it could trigger a catastrophic chain reaction...

"Hey! So tell me, what should we do?!"

Wu Wei sat down irritably, but the murderous intent in her eyes did not diminish in the slightest. Despite her petite stature, she could not hide her ferocity.

After all, how could she not have murderous intent?

How could she not have murderous thoughts? Even though she was born during the Gastrea War and never witnessed the peaceful and prosperous period of her homeland, she still watched her compatriots die tragically every day during her growing years!

They either get devoured alive by gastrulators, or they get infected by viruses and choose to commit suicide, or even worse, they starve and die of thirst!

A country of over a billion people! In just ten years, the population has dwindled to less than thirty million... And all of this is due to the betrayal and treachery of those damned Japanese!

Damn it! Every time she thought of this, the anger that rose within her almost burned away Wu Wei's nerves!

Kill them all, fucking kill them all!!

"I won't stop you from wanting to kill them all," Dong Xue said coldly. Undoubtedly, she also wanted to kill these people with whom she shared a blood feud.

What does it mean to be innocent because of ignorance?

What utter nonsense about them not being involved! The very fact that every single person in this country survives is a result of the countless blood feuds and deep-seated hatred between their compatriots.

But as the head of this organization, she has to plan calmly!

"Calm down and listen to me! I've hacked into the city's network, but several key regional networks have been physically disconnected. I need your help to get more information."

After saying that, Dongxue took out a box of chips and said in a deep voice...

"Your next task is to insert these chips into those areas with physical network outages. We must obtain the necessary data as soon as possible. Meanwhile, Blue Dream Corporation has promised to deliver their 'gift' to the border of Area 39 in Osaka."

“I will hack into their border guard and police surveillance networks one by one to ensure the ‘goods’ are legitimately transported to Osaka’s inner city… and if we have enough time, we will begin our ‘return gift’ while obtaining the information we need.”

In the end, they still used the gifts from Lanmeng Company, gifts from Bai Wujie whom they couldn't see clearly and who were instinctively afraid of.

In fact, even now, their think tank cannot understand the logic and purpose behind Bai Wujie's actions...

If the purpose is merely to use their power to kill someone else, then it is undoubtedly a pointless endeavor.

With the terrifying collective strength of the Dream Creator Beast Squad, the absolute suppression of the airspace by the Asia Flying Legion and the power to easily sweep across the world after combining the Giant God Soldier, the artificial intelligence level of the Central AI that seems like alien technology, and Bai Wujie's unparalleled power.

Any one of them would be enough for it to easily crush Osaka and unify Japan...

However, he still chose to remain an uninvolved third party, as if it were none of his business.

It was as if unifying the world was not something worth pursuing for him at all; in fact, he found more joy in "watching a play" than in conquering the world.

"Maybe he just wants to see us put on a show for him," Dongxue said in a muffled voice.

"But the help he provided was genuine. In short, Avi and others are involved. This revenge is not our primary goal. Our primary goal is to obtain the necessary information and intelligence, and then plunder more valuable resources and technology to bring back to our country—we must be fully prepared!"

Is Bai Wujie their friend? Absolutely not. His openly implemented "Blue Dream Genesis Project" is enough to make them hostile towards him!

However, they are not qualified to be enemies with Bai Wujie now, and are destined to be unable and impossible to stop his creation plan... So they should all make new preparations.

If the Blue Dream Creation Plan is true, once the World-Destroying Heavenly Fire begins, the Earth's surface will inevitably face a devastating attack, followed by one to three years of absolute desolation.

Even if the giant gods will begin restoration work upon their return to the earth... the surface will definitely be uninhabitable even after cooling down in one to three years, let alone the revival of civilization.

They need to build "shelters," and given the current size of survivor settlements in the country, only one deep underground city in Jiangsu Province meets the requirements for shelter... but with a population of 30 million, at most only 10 million can be crammed inside.

As for the remaining 20 million, they must build more lower cities before the time comes... or use a method similar to "freezing hibernation" to help the people survive this disaster!

But they lacked materials, equipment, and, most importantly, sufficient supplies. The quickest way to obtain these things was to plunder them from Japan's five major regions!

Tokyo was out of the question, so Osaka was the best option. But even setting aside these issues, they needed to, and absolutely had to, figure out…

Who exactly are the masterminds behind those conspiracies that harmed their country and people?

"I understand." Having calmed down, Wu Wei took a deep breath and exhaled a cold, icy air as she spoke softly...

"But I think you wouldn't object to me keeping my promise to my 'Master,' right?"

No one answered, no one objected; rather, fulfilling the "promise" with Bai Wujie was what everyone here wanted to do!

"Alright then, let's proceed according to the plan!"

-

36. Justice and Correctness

"It is very difficult to enter the Blue Dream Tower. Their front gate has a lot of defense measures, and unauthorized personnel will be shot dead immediately."

The elevator leading to the underground research base requires advanced ID access, which means we must obtain such a device.

"Fortunately, our remaining intelligence network in Tokyo gave us some valuable information... namely, the whereabouts of a high-ranking figure in the Blue Dream Company."

"This person's name is Song Qi. He was originally just a retired teacher... but for some reason, he became the butler and confidant of Bai Wujie, the president of Lanmeng Company. But that's not important. What's important is that his brain implant chip has access to the lower levels of Lanmeng Tower."

"What we need to do is simple: capture him and take this chip. Of course, our hackers will need to crack the firewall protocol inside the chip at the same time... In short, Rentaro, your task is simply to bring him here."

"Remember, Rentaro, your mission is of utmost importance. If anything happens to us in this stage, our grand plan will be ruined!"

Inside an inconspicuous abandoned car, Rentaro, disguised, stared blankly ahead while receiving a mission briefing from Shigaki Senichi. He was currently in Tokyo's 34th district.

This familiar place, this outer area was destroyed and abandoned during the Gastrea Wars... and the great battle three months ago almost completely leveled it.

Because it is too close to the outskirts, even Lanmeng Company and other companies have not yet considered developing this ruin.

According to intelligence, the old man named Matsuzaki comes here alone every Sunday without fail.

No one knows what he's doing here, or rather, this isn't information that the remaining information brokers of Senichi Shigaki in Tokyo could obtain... But all Rentaro needs to know is that he can take Matsuzaki away from here.

Rentaro's eyes were vacant; even now, he still didn't think that what Mr. Shigaki had done could be called righteous.

But... he didn't have a choice, did he?

Compared to such an abstract topic as justice, perhaps for Rentaro, the problem with Blue Dream Company is more of a "personal feud".

They wouldn't let him go, and he couldn't possibly give up on Enju. In truth, no matter how many high-sounding empty words were spoken... the only reason that led Rentaro to make such a decision was this one.

Therefore, all this talk about justice and ideals is just empty rhetoric; everyone is just selfish.

"Rentaro Satomi, right? Master and the others have told you a lot about you."

The slightly cool voice belonged to Tina, the girl with long golden hair who had been sitting next to him. Her sky-blue eyes were fixed on him as she spoke softly…

"Master... I'm starting to get curious about your identities," Rentaro said softly.

“But I have no interest in knowing, Miss Tina. We are just business partners, and I don’t think we’ll have the chance to meet again after this.”

He was certainly not a fool. Ziyuan Xianyi was able to come up with such a generous offer to recruit such talented people, especially since he also had a miniature nuclear bomb at his disposal.

This clearly cannot be summarized by the legacy of the Tendo family.

They clearly have other powerful forces behind them, and they must be very influential figures. Rentaro didn't want to think about it too much, simply because he didn't want to waver in his resolve.

This is why Rentaro Satomi is so resistant to Tina's attitude; he no longer has the spare time or energy to indulge in his former "gentlemanly" ways... Moreover, in Tokyo, the children of the curse are no longer the targets of persecution.

"My master said that the modification technology used on you is extremely powerful... If he has the chance, he would definitely like to meet you properly."

Tina seemed not to hear Rentaro's words, but abruptly steered the conversation in this direction while handing him a business card.

Tina probably participated in this mission with the intention of helping her "master" Rentaro.

Rentaro reluctantly accepted the business card. He glanced at the name, address, and contact information on it; it belonged to an American named Ann Rand.

It had little to do with him, at least not right now... but Rentaro still kept his guard up and accepted the business card.

The atmosphere inside the car was so quiet it felt almost frozen. Unable to contain himself any longer, Rentaro started chatting with Tina casually.

Tina, surprisingly, told everyone the truth about her situation without reservation.

"You...were you in charge of assassinations before?" Rentaro looked at the girl with disbelief, frowning as he asked...

"Your master, this so-called Dr. Ayn Rand, is just using you as a tool! If that's the case, why are you still loyal to him?"

“I had no choice, and besides, I had nowhere else to go,” Tina said calmly.

Yes, not everyone in this world has the right to choose.

Even in America, the situation of a cursed child is no better than here. In order to live peacefully and avoid being bullied by others, the only thing to do is to demonstrate one's abilities and usefulness.

Rentaro remained silent for a moment, his lowered hand clenching slightly.

Even though he had already decided in his heart that the problem between him and Lanmeng Company was more of a "personal feud"...

But he also understood that he still considered himself to be on the side of "justice" and still believed that he was right... After all, only in this way could he do these wrong things with a clear conscience.

There is no right or wrong, he simply chose to stand on the side of the majority of innocent people.

After all, how could he, as a person of sound mind, possibly endorse that insane Blue Dream Genesis Project? If that's the case, why can't he consider himself a person of "justice" or "correctness"?
