Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before slaying the dragon

Deadpool did not enter Genji Heavy Industries from the outside, but was inside the building from the beginning!

Someone has been hiding this from everyone, violating the most basic bottom line and family rules, and raising these dangerous snake-like creatures in Genji Heavy Industries!

Moreover, the first place where the Deadpools appeared was at the bottom of the elevator shaft, which means that these dangerous creatures were originally hidden underground intentionally by the people who raised them. The people who raised them probably wanted to avoid everyone's sight, because in the underground part of Genji Heavy Industries, except for the researchers of the Ganliu Research Institute and the executive bureau commissioners who needed to use the underground river of the Iron Dome Temple to transport contraband, basically no one would go down to visit on a daily basis.

In fact, Gen Chisei had doubted the Ganryu Research Institute at the beginning. He didn't think that the director, Mr. Shio Miyamoto, would take those researchers to intentionally create some Deadpools without telling his family. It's just that the group of isolated psychopaths in the Ganryu Research Institute were too unpredictable. They built submarines yesterday, rockets today, and may consider whether to create a real version of Ultraman tomorrow.

Because of the bloodline of the Ghost Clan, these guys, in addition to being quite interested in the field of mechanical electronics, have also worked hard on the research of dragon bloodlines, and have made many groundbreaking discoveries and achievements in the field of biological genetics. Perhaps one of the idiot researchers got some dragon blood or dangerous "ghost" blood, and while tinkering with it, he accidentally created a nest of those snake-like Deadpools, and then the situation became out of control.

But this thought only appeared for a moment before Yuan Zhisheng immediately denied it.

Because those snake-like deadpools were obviously stitched together and made from living people, and using living people for human experiments is also the highest level of prohibition in the family, and violators will be sentenced to death.

Moreover, although the family generally does not interfere too much in the daily research of the Ganliu Institute, as one of the core departments of the family, the Ganliu Institute has always been the focus of attention of various family departments. The commissioners of the Executive Bureau will regularly conduct routine thorough inspections in various departments inside the Genji Heavy Industries Building. The Ganliu Institute and the Iron Dome Temple are always listed as the key parts of the thorough inspection, because the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is about to conduct a surprise inspection. The last routine thorough inspection day of the Executive Bureau was just yesterday. It is simply a fantasy to want to produce such evil research results under the noses of the elites of the Executive Department.

Then there is only one explanation... Under the ground of Genji Heavy Industries, far deeper than the Ganliu Research Institute, there is a secret space. The people who raised Deadpool turned that space into a breeding pool for these monsters.

All of this must have been planned since the day the building was completed. At the bottom of the building where everyone works and lives every day, there has been a group of greedy beasts lurking, thirsting for their flesh and blood. No one knows about this, and everyone lives in great danger. Once a crisis breaks out, the lives of everyone in the building will be in danger... just like today.

The first time he saw these Deadpools, Yuan Zhisheng thought of the person who was most likely to have planned all this, but he subconsciously did not want to admit this guess.

Because that man was the former head of the Yaki Eight Clan, and was once the most powerful figure in the entire Japanese underworld. Even Minamoto no Chisei's current position as head of the clan was due to his abdication. That man was a meritorious contributor to the Yaki Eight Clan. Without him, there would be no powerful underworld family today. Everyone would only use words of praise to describe him. When facing the fierce demons, he was the most resolute samurai who took the lead and rushed to the front.

After his death, Yuan Zhisheng had no doubt that the family historian would use words like "the wise ruler of all ages" to describe him, and his spirit tablet would even be ranked among the top five in the family's old shrine. All he could leave to his descendants was lasting fame and universal admiration.

Yuan Zhisheng couldn't think of any reason for that person to plan all this...but Yuan Zhisheng also couldn't think of anyone else who had the ability to plan all this.

During the battle with the Deadpools, Yuan Zhisheng had put this matter behind him. Now that the battle is over, this matter was suddenly mentioned by Chu Zihang. Yuan Zhisheng racked his brains and thought of all possibilities, but overturned all possibilities.

There is only one person who has the ability to build this breeding pond, raise all the Deadpools, and run it secretly for so many years without telling anyone. He is the general manager of Maruyama Construction and the highest-ranking person in the building. In Kaguya's system, this person's power is even greater than that of the current head lord Nagamoto Nagao.

Tachibana Masamune!

It could only be him, Yuan Zhisheng had to admit it even if he didn't want to... When the back of the sword-making old man in white linen clothes flashed through Yuan Zhisheng's mind, his face was covered with a layer of gloom.

Masamune Tachibana is the person that Minamoto no Chisei admires and respects the most. That man has had a profound influence on Minamoto no Chisei's way of life throughout his life. It can be said that Minamoto no Chisei not only emulates him as a role model, but also loves him as a father.

So when he imagined the truth, Yuan Zhisheng's state of mind was almost on the verge of collapse. It felt like the father whom you have always regarded as your idol and best friend since childhood was actually a wicked scientist. He was plotting some evil biochemical experiment under your family's secret. Once the experimental materials were leaked one day, the first to suffer would be your family, and later even the entire city and the entire country would be buried with his evil research.

"Mr. Yuan, judging by your expression, I'm sure you already have your answer in mind." Chu Zihang looked at Yuan Zhisheng. "After Caesar and I leave, you'll probably go to the bottom floor of the Genji Heavy Industries Building to investigate the location where those Deadpools are being reared, and then summon Tachibana Masamune to confront him, right?"

"Yes, many people in the family have died. Many brothers in the Executive Bureau died in Deadpool's frenzy. Many of them didn't even leave their bodies. I must find out the truth of the matter and give them an explanation. I must also confront Mr. Masamune and ask him in person why he did this." Yuan Zhisheng took a deep breath, suppressing the anger and chill that surged in his heart. He turned to look at Chu Zihang, "Mr. Chu, do you have any advice?"

"Mr. Yuan, what I want to know is, after the confrontation, how do you plan to deal with Mr. Masamune Tachibana, the instigator of this incident?" Chu Zihang asked directly.

Gennochi fell silent again. Although he had previously told Caesar how hard and cold-blooded the principles implemented by the Executive Bureau were, when facing Tachibana Masamune, who was like a teacher and a father to him, it was impossible for him to execute the other party on the spot without hesitation.

This has always been an eternal problem. When you hold the power to decide life and death, and your loved one happens to have committed an unforgivable crime, will you choose to cover up for personal gain or sacrifice your loved one for the sake of justice?

"There are so many people who shouldn't have died..." Yuan Zhisheng muttered to himself, his mind flashing through the figures of the elites of the Executive Bureau and the members of the Connection Department. A flash of determination also flashed in his eyes. He raised his head and looked at Chu Zihang, "Mr. Chu, have you heard of the ancient Japanese 'kaishakunin'?"

Chu Zihang nodded. He had read about a character called "Kaishakin" in a book that recorded ancient wars and the shogunate era in Japan.

This type of character appeared from the shogunate period to the Meiji Restoration. At that time, the situation was turbulent and human lives were worthless. The defeated samurai and nobles did not want to fall into the hands of the enemy and become prisoners because such an end was too miserable. More defeated people would choose to commit suicide. The most popular method of suicide at that time was seppuku.

Many people think that the way to commit suicide by disembowelment is that when a samurai is defeated in battle, he kneels down and cuts open his belly with the blade of a wakizashi, then cuts a fierce horizontal line in the abdomen, crushing the intestines and internal organs together... But in fact, the pain of disembowelment by wakizashi is the most uncomfortable. It is a method that samurai on the battlefield have no other weapons to use.

The real nobles or daimyo would commit suicide with a weapon called "Huijian". This straight knife was thin and light, but hard in texture, and was specially made to quickly end the life of the suicide. While these nobles would stab the Huaijian into their own abdomens, the kaishakunin standing behind them would cut the artery in the suicide's neck with one knife, leaving the skin and flesh on the outside of the neck connected to the shoulder and neck, so that the suicide's life would be quickly ended, but the body would still be intact. This series of processes may look like a cruel capital punishment, but it was actually prepared to reduce the time that the suicide endured suffering. The deceased seemed to die from the pain of disembowelment, but in fact death was only a moment for him. This was recognized as the most decent way to die in the last years of the shogunate.

"If he can't give me a convincing reason, according to family law, all members of the family above the rank of head will be punished with a dignified and warning death," Gen Chisheng whispered. "Then I will sentence him to the death penalty of seppuku, and I will personally serve as his kaishakunin."

"From what you're saying, it seems like there's a chance this heinous villain might survive, as long as the reasons he gives convince you." Caesar glanced at him. "But come to think of it, it makes sense. I heard that the man named Tachibana Masamune is like your father?"

"It seems our fathers are all bastards. It's really frustrating when your own father is a jerk. I can relate to that." Caesar nodded in agreement. "Although I often say I hope that guy disappears, the truth is, even if he does something heinous, I probably still wouldn't want to kill him. There are plenty of people who want to kill him, and it's not my turn to do it."

"He will definitely be able to give you a reason not to kill him." Chu Zihang said to Yuan Zhisheng, "If I were Tachibana Masamune, the day Deadpool's breeding pond was built... no, the day this plan emerged in my mind, I would start thinking of excuses and retreats for this secret plan to be exposed. If I can't bear the consequences of the plan failing, perhaps I won't carry it out at all... I believe Tachibana Masamune would think the same way."

These words were actually what Lu Mingfei told Chu Zihang, but at that time Lu Mingfei did not specifically refer to the snake-like Deadpool crisis, nor did he mention Tachibana Masamune's name. Chu Zihang said it directly in front of Yuan Zhisheng.

"So, Mr. Chu, what you mean is that no matter what, Mr. Masamune must die to atone for this incident, right?" Yuan Zhisheng looked at Chu Zihang's expression and asked calmly.

Gen Chisheng felt that these people from Kassel Academy inexplicably held more or less hostility towards Tachibana Masamune, and it was not because of this incident or their hatred of evil. Although Gen Chisheng knew that there would be no conflict between them and Tachibana Masamune before, his intuition told him that this was the case. Gen Chisheng's intuition has always been very accurate.

"No, Tachibana Masamune cannot die." Chu Zihang shook his head.

"Can't die?" Yuan Zhisheng was stunned. Chu Zihang's answer was completely opposite to what he had guessed.

"Yes, to be precise, Tachibana Masamune shouldn't have died here," Chu Zihang said. "Through this Deadpool incident, I believe you, Yuan-jun, can see that he is a very cunning person. We have investigated Tachibana Masamune's information, but we can only retrieve his resume for the past twenty years. His life before that was a blank. It's like he appeared out of thin air in the Snake Eight Families. A patriarch of such high moral character and fame throughout the Japanese underworld shouldn't remain unknown until his successor takes over."

Gen Chisheng could only remain silent, because he had also investigated Tachibana Masamune's life experience within the family, but just like Chu Zihang said, no one knew Tachibana Masamune's life experience and origins, and everyone only had the impression of him over the past twenty years.

"And it wasn't just Tachibana Masamune who appeared out of nowhere twenty years ago. Besides this Deadpool attack, he might also be connected to another conspiracy from twenty years ago." Chu Zihang said slowly, "Yuan Jun, can you think of anything else? What else suddenly arrived in the Japanese waters from the far north twenty years ago?"

After a long silence, Yuan Zhisheng let out a deep breath.

"Lenin."

Chapter 349: The most important step to make Tachibana Masamune deserted by his friends and relatives

When Yuan Zhisheng answered Chu Zihang's questions, he unknowingly had his thoughts completely guided by Chu Zihang's topic.

This was originally the interrogation technique commonly used by the executive department that Professor Schneider taught to Chu Zihang. The cleverness of this set of rhetoric lies in its ability to strengthen the subconscious of the person being questioned time and time again. Chu Zihang would not insist on the truth of the matter, but would use an inquiring tone to throw one question after another to Yuan Zhisheng, guiding Yuan Zhisheng into his thinking.

Although the answers to these questions can be guessed with a little thought, when Chu Zihang asks the questions, Yuan Zhisheng will recall all the evil deeds committed by Tachibana Masamune in his mind, and the image of Tachibana Masamune as a villain will become more deeply rooted in people's minds.

"Yuan-kun, you are the current patriarch of the Sheqi Eight Families and the highest decision-maker in the Japanese underworld. However, we are not here to curry favor with you because of your status. Caesar and I both respect your character and need your trust, so we are staying and fighting alongside you." Chu Zihang looked at Yuan Zhisheng, appealing to his emotions and reasoning with him. "Your position is crucial. We will be honest with you and share all the information we know with you. Please remain objective and discern the truth."

Yuan Zhisheng took a deep breath and nodded slowly to Chu Zihang.

"Our original intention in coming to Japan was to find a ship that sank deep in the Japan Trench," Chu Zihang said. "Kassel Academy accidentally discovered this ship from old Soviet archives. The ship sank in Japanese waters. The data showed that it was carrying a forbidden item related to the dragon civilization. Subsequently, Kassel Academy sent a probe into the depths of the Japan Trench, and the results of the probe surprised everyone."

"The sonar detector detected a strong heartbeat beating on the seabed. The forbidden object is a living being, but the heartbeat was detected at a depth of 8,000 meters in the Japan Trench, which is the location of the Abyss." Chu Zihang paused. "Except for dragons, no large known creatures can survive at this depth on the seabed. Moreover, the detected heartbeat remains in a fixed position and is even slowly increasing. Therefore, Kassel Academy concluded that the forbidden object related to dragon civilization carried on this ship is a hatching ancient dragon embryo. In order to prevent the ancient dragon in the embryo from hatching smoothly, Caesar, Lu Mingfei, and I were sent to Japan to cooperate with your Japanese branch to implement the ancient dragon embryo annihilation plan, which is the Abyss Plan."

"And all the doubts originated from the former Soviet ship carrying the ancient dragon embryo." Chu Zihang whispered, "That is the Lenin."

"The Lenin was a distinguished warship of the former Soviet Northern Fleet and the world's first nuclear-powered icebreaker. During its service, this legendary warship received numerous awards and was laden with honors," Chu Zihang explained to Yuan Zhisheng. "But after the collapse of the Soviet Union, it quietly disappeared from the Northern Fleet's fleet. The last news of it was on December 25, 1991, when it vanished from the face of the earth."

"Mr. Yuan, as Asians, we may not be very sensitive to the date December 25th, but as a European, Caesar realized at the first sight of this information that this is a special day," said Chu Zihang.

"Christmas?" Yuan Zhisheng glanced at Caesar, and Caesar nodded.

"That's right. The icebreaker Lenin disappeared from the former Soviet fleet on Christmas Day." Chu Zihang nodded. "According to Norma's database, the Lenin is a meritorious icebreaker known as the 'Red Behemoth of the Polar Regions.' It was also the world's first polar icebreaker claimed to be able to conquer all oceans, even the mountain-like ice ridges of the Arctic. Yet, it sank in the peaceful waters of Japan... The only possibility for the Lenin's sinking was human error. You don't deny that, do you?"

"Wasn't the sinking of the Lenin due to a shipwreck? Wasn't there an ancient dragon embryo on board? It was the flesh cocoon that merged with the Lenin's hull when the Trieste dived." Yuan Zhisheng frowned slightly. "This is the view reached by the Ganliu Research Institute after analysis. We believe that perhaps before the Lenin entered Japanese waters, due to some accident, the entire ship had already been infected by the ancient dragon embryo. In other words, at that time, the Lenin was already evolving into a flesh cocoon. By the time it reached the surface of the Abyss, the degree of infection by the embryo was already quite high. So when the crew discovered the abnormal hull, they immediately sent a distress signal to the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, but it sank before the rescue ship sent by Japan arrived."

"To this day, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force still maintains records of receiving the distress signal," Minamoto Chisei questioned. "If someone really did deliberately sink the Lenin, carrying the ancient dragon embryo, into the Japan Trench, wouldn't his act of sending a distress signal to the Self-Defense Force have been unnecessary?"

"You are as naive as a child." Caesar sneered.

"If the person who orchestrated all this didn't have some ulterior motive, why would he transport an ancient dragon embryo all the way to Japan? Could it be that the climate and soil in Japan are more suitable for dragon hatching?"

"Who told you that the distress signal must have been sent by someone behind the scenes? It seems you don't understand the former Soviet Union's naval system well enough."

"Soviet soldiers follow the orders of their superiors. This means you only need to obey your superiors. You don't work for the entire fleet. Even if your superiors want to rebel, you have to follow them in rebellion." Caesar said, "The Lenin arrived in Japanese waters on the eve of the collapse of the Soviet Union. It was a secret voyage, violating the orders of the Northern Fleet. If I were the one behind the scenes, I would not need to and would never reveal any of this to the other crew members on the ship. They only need to sail to the designated target according to my orders. This way, I can ensure the smooth implementation of my plan without revealing the secret of the ancient dragon embryo on board and the plan to sink the Lenin to the depths of the abyss. This will prevent unnecessary riots and the greed of others."

Yuan Zhisheng opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything in defense.

Because it is obvious that the Kassel Academy has more sufficient information about the sinking of the Lenin twenty years ago than the Sheqi Eight Schools, and Caesar's views are more reasonable, more powerful, and more tenable than the analysis of the Yanliu Institute.

"Christmas, secret voyages, ancient dragon embryos, shipwrecks, the Japan Trench, Takama-ga-hara... When we first received this information, Lu Mingfei said that each of these keywords was too coincidental." Chu Zihang stared into Yuan Zhisheng's eyes. "If you put so many coincidences together, then this incident can no longer be called a coincidence, but rather a man-made inevitability... a massive conspiracy that was fully prepared!"

Genji Zhisheng knew that Chu Zihang was leading him to reveal the obvious answer... It seemed that all the clues pointed to Tachibana Masamune as the mastermind behind raising Deadpool at the bottom of Genji Heavy Industries, and also the foreigner who came to Japan on the Lenin twenty years ago. If Tachibana Masamune was really the one who sank the Lenin into the depths of the Abyss, then his purpose in raising Deadpool at Genji Heavy Industries was easily explained...

His ultimate goal is to resurrect... "God"!

According to this idea, all the Deadpools in Genji Heavy Industries are his experimental subjects, and he is looking for ways to resurrect the "God" through these Deadpools.

And once the "God" is really awakened at some point, it will be an irreversible situation. The crisis at that time will be absolutely incomparable to the Deadpools' attack on the Genji Heavy Industries Building. The whole of Japan will be in a desperate situation. Even if Genji Chisheng joins forces with Caesar and Chu Zihang again, plus the entire Sheqi Eight Families and Principal Ange, they will never be able to fight against the resurrected "God"!

Everything seemed to make sense. According to Chu Zihang and Caesar, all clues pointed to Tachibana Masamune, the former head of the Snake Eight Families. From a completely objective and rational standpoint, Yuan Zhisheng should have taken these arguments put forward by Chu Zihang and Caesar to find Tachibana Masamune and confront him...

But thinking of that majestic and kind old man, Yuan Zhisheng couldn't remain completely rational and objective.

Ever since his brother died, there has been a blank in Minamoto no Chisei's life, so he became close to Eri for no reason, because Eri, as his sister, filled this missing gap in his life... and a father is a very important person in any child's life. Minamoto no Chisei had no memory of his father since he was a child, so the old man named Tachibana Masamune filled this biggest gap in his life as his father.

A person cannot live alone in this world. The more blank spaces there are in a person's life, the bigger the gap in his heart. If a person's life is a blank sheet of paper, then his life will be wrapped in only loneliness and solitude.

No one can easily cut off the colorful part of their life and turn it into a blank. In Yuan Zhisheng's mind, the angels and demons named rationality and sensibility are fighting.

Reason tells Minamoto no Chisei that the person who planned all this is Tachibana Masamune, but emotion has been reluctant to admit it and has been looking for excuses to justify the man who treats her like a father.

"No!" Minamoto no Chisei suddenly shouted, "If Mr. Masamune's original intention was to revive the 'God', then why did he destroy the fierce demons who were trying to revive the 'God'?"

"If Mr. Masamune really wanted to resurrect 'God', he would not have agreed to the 'Kyoto Plan', nor would he have let you board the Trieste with a refined sulfur bomb to kill 'God', right?" Gen Chisheng's voice became higher and higher.

"By the way, it was his suggestion to convert the Trieste's nuclear power module into a nuclear bomb. This nuclear bomb, converted from a submersible, has the power to destroy Takama-ga-hara. If the 'God' fails to wake up, and sinks into the seabed magma along with the tectonic plates of 'Takama-ga-hara', then wouldn't the 'God' be destroyed along with it?" Gen Chisheng's speech speed was getting faster and faster. "Why would someone who wants to kill 'God' take such a huge risk and wipe out 'Takama-ga-hara' and 'God' from this world..."

It seemed that Gennochi had found evidence that could overturn everything for Masamune Tachibana, who had been sentenced to death. His tone was as excited as if he could prove that Masamune Tachibana was wronged. He followed this line of thought and spoke more and more, as if he wanted to dig a way out for Masamune Tachibana in the vast ocean of sin.

"Mr. Yuan, are the reasons you've found enough to convince yourself?" Chu Zihang looked at Yuan Zhisheng expressionlessly. "Will your doubts about Tachibana Masamune be dispelled by the reasons you've given in his defense?"

"What do you mean?" Yuan Zhisheng looked at Chu Zihang, frowning deeply, and asked, "Do you think I'm protecting Mr. Masamune? Or do you think I'm deceiving myself?"

"Ask yourself, aren't you deceiving yourself?" Caesar crossed his arms, his gaze fixed on Yuan Zhisheng. "Chu Zihang's meaning is very clear. If what you said doesn't constitute a cover-up, then what does? You're practically writing 'Tachibana Masamune is my father' all over your face."

"Gattuso, please be careful with your words." Gen Chisheng's face darkened. "Since you think I'm shielding Mr. Masamune, then please refute the reasons I've given. Why would Mr. Masamune do something that goes against his own purpose?"

"That's why I said you were as naive as a child." Caesar sneered. "Tachibana Masamune is a man of great cunning, there's no doubt about that. Calling him a conspirator is no exaggeration. Do you think you can see through a conspirator? You only see what he wants you to see."

"Argument." Yuan Zhisheng stared at Caesar. "Do you have any evidence for what you said?"

"Since you insist that Tachibana Masamune's goal is to kill 'God,' then let me ask you... is the 'God' you're talking about dead?" Caesar asked back, "If she's dead, where's her body? Where's her spine?"

Yuan Zhisheng was stunned. Caesar's questions were like a barrage of cannonballs hitting him in the face, defeating him.

All his excitement vanished in an instant, and the light that had finally appeared in his eyes faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving only a dull look on his face.

"God" is not dead yet... Just this one sentence can make all of Minamoto no Chisei's defense of Tachibana Masamune pale and powerless. No matter how thorough and complete preparations Tachibana Masamune has made to kill "God", "God" is still not dead... This is the original sin of everything.

"Do you really think Tachibana Masamune converted the Trieste into a nuclear bomb in order to kill 'God'?" Caesar said in a deep voice. "He wanted to kill us and destroy Takama-ga-hara. He's such a cautious person he wouldn't allow his plans to be interfered with by unexpected parties. On the surface, it seems he was trying to prevent the secrets of the Snake Eight Families from being exposed to the eyes of Kassel Academy, but is it necessary to be so decisive just to hide the secret?"

Chapter 350 The thing that crushed the tortoise is called fate

"You, the eight Sheqi families, have painstakingly hidden this ancient city for thousands of years. That entire stretch of dragon civilization ruins, that city's worth of dragon alchemy technology, and you destroy it just like that?" Caesar's face was filled with suspicion. "Is this really what a family head should do?"

"Since you're saying that Tachibana Masamune did all this out of fear of the 'God' being resurrected from 'Takamagahara', why didn't he just be more decisive and order the Ganryu Research Institute to build a nuclear bomb sooner rather than later, dropping it into the Japan Trench and blowing up the 'God' and the city along with it? Why did he wait for the three of us to come all the way from Kassel Academy, thousands of miles away, before initiating the plan? And why did he even go to the unnecessary trouble of converting the Trieste into a nuclear bomb?" Caesar asked in response to Minamoto no Chisei's defense of Tachibana Masamune, "Shouldn't we stop the 'God' from reviving sooner rather than later? Since you're trying to defend Tachibana Masamune, ask yourself, have you truly witnessed the determination Tachibana Masamune put into killing 'God'?"

Faced with Caesar's closely linked series of questions, Yuan Zhisheng lowered his head and could not refute a single word.

Because every question Caesar asked was like a sharp knife, stabbing hard into his thoughts of defending Tachibana Masamune, and crushing all his arguments into pieces.

Upon closer inspection, Gennosuke really couldn't see how determined Tachibana Masamune was to kill the "God". The awakening of the "God" was not a matter of one day or one night. Kassel Academy didn't know the existence of the "God" before, but as soon as they discovered the ancient dragon embryo, they swiftly dispatched the three best Caesars in the academy, and used the Trieste, carrying refined sulfur bombs, to destroy the ancient dragon embryo they thought was hatching.

This is the attitude a determined person should have, regardless of the consequences, with a clear goal.

However, all the top leaders of the eight Snake families knew that the "God" was sleeping in "Takama-ga-hara". Out of awe for the "God", everyone never disturbed or even mentioned the words "God" and "Takama-ga-hara" within the family. Tachibana Masamune had succeeded the head of the family for more than ten years. If he really had the idea of ​​preventing the revival of the "God", it would not be a decision made on impulse. This idea that violated the family rules and ancestral teachings must have been made after careful consideration and deliberation.

However, compared with the swift and efficient action of Kassel Academy, this decision came too late. This is not the style of Mr. Masamune, who is well-known throughout the Japanese underworld. It seems that he was forced to make this decision hastily when he was forced into a corner by the Demon Clan and Kassel Academy.

The belated decision caused the Eight Clans of Sheqi to shed a lot of blood and pay a heavy price when they were trying to stop the stubborn group... but in the end they failed to kill the "God".

"As for what you said, Mr. Gen, about why Tachibana Masamune wanted to convert the Trieste into a nuclear bomb and drop it into Takama-ga-hara... I can think of three purposes." Chu Zihang looked into Gen Chisheng's eyes.

"Three purposes..." Yuan Zhisheng also raised his head and looked at Chu Zihang, muttering repeatedly. The expression on his face was so complicated that it was difficult to describe in words.

"Yes, three purposes, and none of them are intended to kill the 'God' as you think, Yuanjun." Chu Zihang said in a firm tone, "On the contrary, he dropped the nuclear bomb converted from the Trieste on 'Takama-ga-hara'... in order to indirectly assist the revival of the 'God'!"

Chu Zihang's words were so shocking that he seemed to be replacing the golden medal of immunity from death that Minamoto Chisheng had worked so hard to find for Tachibana Masamune with the guillotine that was used to sentence Tachibana Masamune to death. Minamoto Chisheng was stunned for a moment, and then he stared at Chu Zihang with a look of waiting for what would happen next.

"Tachibana Masamune's first goal was to kill Caesar, me, and Lu Mingfei, who were sent by Kassel Academy."

"In Tachibana Masamune's original plan, he certainly didn't anticipate that Kassel Academy would suddenly launch an exploration of the Lenin sunk in the Japan Trench due to a former Soviet archive, leading to the discovery of the ancient dragon embryo and the dispatch of the three of us to Japan. He never anticipated these things," Chu Zihang whispered. "The most unacceptable situation for a conspirator is an outsider interfering with his plans and disrupting their progress. Furthermore, Kassel Academy is a massive invading force for the Snake Eight Clans under his control. Given Principal Angers' hatred for 'dragons,' Kassel Academy will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."

"So Tachibana Masamune took the initiative to resign as the head of the family and pushed you to the forefront," Chu Zihang said. "Because once the existence of the Lenin and the 'God' entered the Kassel Academy's field of vision, he, as the head of the family, would inevitably become the focus of Kassel Academy's investigation. However, his background and resume simply cannot withstand the investigation."

"Fortunately, Kassel Academy only sent the three of us initially, and Principal Ange didn't come in person, so Tachibana Masamune can rest assured." Chu Zihang said, "As long as he can strangle the three of us at the bottom of the ocean and then claim it's to destroy Takama-ga-hara with the Trieste, all his schemes can be cloaked in the sanctimonious name of 'righteousness'."

"So when the Jiyuan Project was halfway through, you ordered the communication between us and Kassel Academy to be cut off, because the three of us were direct witnesses of the 'Takama-ga-hara', the Lenin and the huge dragon statue. As long as we died quietly on the seabed and failed to pass on everything we knew in time, the academy would only know about the ancient underwater city and the ancient dragon embryo at most. No one would associate it with the 'God', and his plan would not be exposed immediately, and he could buy more buffer time." Chu Zihang said.

"If I'm not mistaken, cutting off our communication with the academy was probably Tachibana Masamune's 'suggestion' to you, right? When the Jiyuan Project was launched, you had already taken over the position of head of the family." Chu Zihang said to Yuan Zhisheng, "Yuan Jun, you had already become his scapegoat by then."

Yuan Zhisheng just remained silent.

"And Tachibana Masamune's second goal is to destroy 'Takama-ga-hara'."

"Destroying Takama-ga-hara and destroying God are two completely different things. This is a precautionary measure he took to prevent his plan from being exposed," Chu Zihang said. "Even if Caesar, Lu Mingfei, and I were all dead at the bottom of the ocean, he still wouldn't be able to rest easy. Because of the way Kassel Academy works, even if the three of us died, the executive department would only send more people in."

"Masamune Tachibana must wipe out Takama-ga-hara and the Lenin from this world to prevent the Kassel Academy from further exploration of this ancient underwater city and the unhatched ancient dragon embryo. This will truly eliminate future trouble. Even if more specialists are dispatched to the seabed, they will only see the ruins left by the Trieste explosion, and the Kassel Academy will still know nothing about the God."

"But what Tachibana Masamune couldn't have anticipated was that although Takama-ga-hara was destroyed, the three of us managed to escape safely from eight thousand meters below the sea. Neither the nuclear explosion nor the swarm of Shikigami killed us. We miraculously survived," Chu Zihang said. "Unlike Tachibana Masamune, you, Gen-kun, truly wanted us to survive, but our submersible lost power and became stuck three thousand meters below the sea. The bloodthirsty Shikigamigami surrounded us. Tachibana Masamune thought we had no chance of escape, so to prevent the Deadpools from causing unnecessary panic, he sent the head of the Uesugi family to eliminate them."

"He didn't expect that the head of the Uesugi family he sent out would inadvertently create a way out for us. Thanks to him, we narrowly escaped a seemingly fatal situation." Chu Zihang said, "Tachibana Masamune was unwilling to accept this, so he completely cut off our communication with the school, sealed us off in Japan, and sent people to search for us throughout the country."

"Remember that underground auction in Tokyo Bay not long ago?" Chu Zihang asked, "Why didn't someone capture Lu Mingfei and immediately execute him? Instead, they deliberately publicized it with great fanfare and held such a large auction?"
