Such a big thing, and the Heavenly Commander dared to keep it a secret.
This is absolutely outrageous!
He finally understood why the resistance was able to advance so far into the original story and reach General Raiden's castle tower.
It can only be said that the politicians who led the Heavenly Regime were just like those in his previous life, exuding decay and filth from head to toe.
Chapter 61 The Fools' Scheme
The night was cool and still, with countless stars twinkling like pearls set in the dark sky.
Inside the secret stronghold of the Fools of Inazuma Castle.
After listening to all the members' progress reports, the woman frowned.
Without any source of funding, the members of the Fools are basically just pretty faces in a vase—they're getting worse every day. Two or three members are even struggling to make ends meet, and they've lost a lot of weight since we first met.
This made her too embarrassed to scold him further, so she could only curse D'Artagnan in her heart as an idiot.
"Everyone, the organization is now assigning you a task. This task is very important. If you complete it well, everyone will be promoted and have the opportunity to leave Inazuma."
Upon hearing that they might have a chance to leave Inazuma, everyone except Ueno Chiki's eyes lit up, and they beamed with excitement.
The woman took in the expressions of everyone present, nodded with satisfaction, and then her tone suddenly turned cold, "But if you don't do a good job, hehe, I don't need to repeat the rules of the Fools, do I?"
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
The rules of the Fatui are extremely cruel. If a member fails to complete an important task assigned by the organization, they will be sent to a doctor named Dottore for human experimentation. Those who are lucky will die directly, while those who are unlucky will be transformed into various monsters, suffering a fate worse than death.
"Soon, the resistance forces on Haizhi Island will launch a surprise attack and take the castle tower. Your mission is to impersonate the resistance forces, massacre civilians in the city, and frame them for the crime."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ueno Chiki couldn't help but clench her fists.
He gained a new and deeper understanding of the wickedness and cruelty of the Fools, which was truly outrageous.
The purpose of the Fools was to thoroughly escalate the conflict between the Inazuma Shogunate and Umijima Island, making them irreconcilable enemies.
As third parties, they can continuously extract various benefits from this, and even make threats.
In the original storyline, the lady extorted the Heart of God from General Raiden when the rebels on Umijima Island were about to attack the castle tower.
Ueno Chiki didn't have much affection for the country of Inazuma, but he absolutely could not tolerate the Murderers' killing of civilians. Besides his sense of justice, many ordinary people were his loyal readers...
His eyes were like two cold, hard stones, devoid of any warmth.
"Code name 9527, you stay here, everyone else can leave." The woman waved her hand, and everyone immediately scattered, leaving only Ueno Chiki behind.
She slowly walked up to him, reached out her slender, jade-like hand, removed the black cloth covering his face, stared at his face in a daze, and smiled slightly, "You look a bit like that silly guy who always looks tired."
For a moment, Ueno Chiki was at a loss for words, standing there helplessly. He could roughly guess who the fool the woman was talking about was—her former lover, the wolf cub Rustan who died in the Dark Calamity.
"Code name 9527, or you should call her Ueno Chiki, right? Also, your novels are quite good."
His expression changed drastically, and a cold sweat broke out on his back. It was obvious that the woman had investigated him. If she found out that he was the author of "Husband's Softness and Ineligibility...", then he would be doomed.
Fortunately, the woman's next words relieved him: "The ending of that book, 'Young Dalmatian,' was so well written. That idiot Tartaglia deserves to be humiliated once a week, three times a week. Although Kodoc is a greedy idiot, he did do one thing right: he brought you into the organization."
"My lady, although it was Kodok who brought me into the organization, you are my guiding light. In my moments of confusion and fear, your brilliance illuminated my path. My admiration for you is like a surging river, unstoppable and boundless. You are the embodiment of beauty and wisdom, truly..."
"Alright," the woman interrupted his flattery in time, "I have good news for you. I have submitted your name to the headquarters of the Fools, and soon you will be the head of the Fools in Inazuma."
What kind of good news is this?
A few months ago he was just a low-level intelligence officer, but now he has inexplicably become the head of the Fools' Inazuma.
This position of Inatsume, the head of the Fools, is essentially a worthless title. To put it simply, it's a lot of work, but no power or money. Moreover, the higher his rank, the greater the risk of him betraying the Fools.
He really wanted to refuse, but he could only pretend to be overjoyed and quickly thank the lady.
"Keep up the good work! I think you'll be the next CEO."
When Ueno Chiki first heard this sentence, she thought it was ridiculous, but now, hearing it again, she has an indescribable feeling.
Perhaps one day in the future, I will become the executor of the Fools.
"Thank you for your guidance, Madam. I will definitely work hard and live up to your expectations!"
"Okay, you go back."
Ueno Chiki bowed slightly and then turned to leave.
Just as he stepped out of the room, a woman's voice came from behind him, "Wait!"
He quickly turned to look at the woman, only to see that her originally proud and cold face had softened. "Code name 9527, if one day I burn out, I hope you can scatter my ashes on Mondstadt."
"Madam, what's going on?"
"Go on your way!" The woman didn't answer his question, but waved him away again.
Ueno Chiki had no choice but to suppress her doubts and leave the base.
After he left, the outpost became deserted. The woman murmured to herself, "Even the most blazing flames eventually burn out. Rustan, perhaps we will meet again soon."
As Ueno Chiki walked out of the base, her feelings were somewhat complicated.
To be honest, Ms. Rosalyn was actually quite good to him; she had always thought highly of him and promoted him. But he loathed her stubbornness and ruthlessness; for example, her scheme today was simply inhumane.
The young girl, Rolinsa, is long dead; now only the corrupt, burning witch remains.
If she still has ashes at the moment she burns out, I will collect them and scatter them in Mondstadt.
Chapter 62 Next time, make me the full set.
On the desolate wilderness, Yingmei's figure moved with the agility of flying. Facing the various lightning attacks constantly emitted by the pillar-shaped mechanism, she dodged them all with ease, like a gazelle leaping over horns, without being hit even once.
Before long, the attack from the columnar mechanism stopped.
Yingmei finally passed the Anti-Lightning General's special training.
At that moment, she felt an unprecedented joy and sense of accomplishment.
She's been tormented by this disgusting cylindrical device for the past few days, getting a tingling sensation from the electric shocks every day.
"Traveler, you're amazing! You passed such a difficult training course!" Paimon immediately flew over and praised loudly.
Yingmei put her hands on her hips, looking smug. "Hehe, I'm the famous Traveler, this special training is no challenge for me at all."
"Oh, really? Little one, I have an even more difficult Anti-Lightning General training course here. Would you like to try it?" Yae no Miko looked at her with a smile.
Yingmei quickly waved her hands, "Lord Bazhong, I am confident that I can fight General Leidian, so there is no need for further special training."
Yae no Miko raised an eyebrow. "Little guy, you're really brave. You don't actually think you can defeat General Raiden on your own, do you?"
"Hey, then all the lightning strikes the Traveler got these past few days were for nothing, right?" Paimon stomped his foot in mid-air, crossed his arms, and looked very annoyed.
"Hehe, you are the most important part of the plan. I have my own plans. How could I let you have no chance of winning?"
"Master Bazhong, what is your plan?" Yingmei asked in confusion.
"This plan is... well, I won't tell you yet, hehe." Yae no Miko chuckled mischievously.
At this moment, Yingmei had a strong urge to grab this pink-haired fox, put her in her Dust Song Pot, lock her in a small room, and then roughly rub and ravage her.
The thought of Yae no Miko suffering terribly under her clutches excited her, and a lewd smile crept onto her lips.
"Boom!"
Seeing her somewhat lewd expression, Yae no Miko didn't hesitate to flick her forehead. "Don't let your mind wander and imagine rude things about me."
"Eightfold Lord, can't I even think about it?" Yingmei said, her eyes brimming with tears of pain and her voice filled with grievance.
"......"
Yae no Miko was speechless. Thinking about it wasn't impossible, but to openly express her thoughts in front of the person involved, while also displaying a lewd expression, was certainly unacceptable.
"Lord Yae no Miko, could you please have the shrine maiden from last time give me another lap pillow massage?" Yingmei bowed, clasped her hands together, and sincerely requested Yae no Miko.
Yae no Miko rested her chin on her hand, her clear, bright eyes slightly narrowed. "Little one, your request is a bit excessive. That shrine maiden is our Narukami-sama's top courtesan! However, if your performance satisfies me, I can have 'her' give you lap pillow massages from time to time."
"Really? If possible, I'd like to get the full set next time!"
Yae no Miko really wanted to open up Hiiragi's brain and see what was going on, since it was full of lewd and obscene material.
"Traveler, Lord Yata, we should go back for dinner." Paimon said, feeling a bit hungry and rubbing his stomach.
"Ah."
Then, the three of them walked together toward Ueno Chiki's house.
.......
Inside a simple wooden hut.
On a somewhat worn-out dining table, several plates of colorful dishes were laid out, emitting an enticing aroma that filled the entire room.
Yingmei and Paimon were enjoying the delicious food on the table.
Beside them, Yae no Miko appeared incredibly elegant, deftly picking up a piece of fried tofu with her chopsticks and savoring it with delicate taste.
This was made by Ueno Chiki herself. Compared to the fried tofu at Kinan Ryotei, this one has a richer, more complex flavor that leaves a lasting impression.
She closed her eyes slightly, savoring the unique taste, her face beaming with satisfaction and enjoyment.
Just then, a pair of chopsticks suddenly flew towards the fried tofu in front of her.
She immediately struck the hand of the person holding the chopsticks with lightning speed.
"Lord Bazhong, I also want to try the taste of fried tofu," Yingmei said pleadingly, rubbing her slapped hand.
Yae no Miko didn't speak, but simply placed the fried tofu in front of her on her chest.
Yingmei turned her head towards Ueno Chiki, her bright eyes staring straight at him.
He felt her intense gaze, sighed softly, and a helpless smile appeared on his lips. He said, "Traveler, I'll make you another one later."
Upon hearing Ueno Chiki's words, Yingmei was overjoyed, and a bright smile bloomed on her face.
But soon she and Paimon were engaged in a fierce struggle over a tender piece of sweet and sour pork ribs.
Their gazes were unusually firm; they both believed this was a war they couldn't afford to lose.
In the midst of the struggle, Ueno Chiki was caught in the crossfire; his chopsticks were knocked away by Yingmei and rolled off the table.
Because there were no extra chopsticks at home, he had to squat down to pick up the chopsticks on the ground.
