In the spacious and empty conference room.
There were only a few core staff members representing the Government of the Time, and they were sitting in a row at the conference table.
These people who participated in Lingsu's support plan were all S-ranked super senior staff members.
Everyone had a badge hanging on their chest with their personal position and number in the government … Even the short-haired woman who received Lingsu and Mitsuki Munechika at the headquarters that day was among them.
Like the others, she was wearing a woman's suit and a black hip-hugging short skirt.
She was neatly dressed and held a tablet in her hand. It was an independent system that everyone in the government would have.
All the information that could be accessed by the S-rank was gathered there.
And there was a badge hanging on her chest.
On it was her position and rank.
And number — 04.
As the only staff member who had direct contact with Lingsu, she was duty-bound to be the spokesperson in this meeting.
But at this moment, the key point in this room.
It was no longer the few senior staff members who could almost represent the entire Government of the Time.
Instead, it was unknown why they appeared here.
The instructor of the tenth generation of the Penglie family's leader — Leibaun.
He was sitting on the table in the form of a baby.
He was wearing a black gentleman's hat. Under the brim of the hat, a pair of large pitch-black pupils stared expressionlessly at the other side of the conference table.
On the only empty chair.
He was waiting for the arrival of the girl.
·
Fox's Aid confirmed the location and pressed the switch button.
The Divine Inquisitor.
And the figures of the two swords quickly shuttled through the space-time tunnel.
The space-time tunnel was nothingness, surrounded by fog.
No directional landmarks could be seen.
But they could feel the burden brought by the rapid shuttling of their bodies.
Choi walked behind Lingsu.
At this moment, he raised his eyes slightly in the dark environment.
When he looked at her, his amber eyes could not hide the complicated expression.
It was an ancient emotion that was surging. It was obscure and tolerant enough.
Hidden in a bottomless abyss.
In the beginning, the girl's goal was to make the Honmaru's blades feel clear — she just wanted to show her good side, her authoritative side, so that she could win the allegiance of all the 3304 Honmaru's blades in the shortest time possible, and bring them back to This Pill to dig out their secrets.
But now … When the dust finally settled on This Pill 3304, he couldn't understand her anymore.
When he decided not to pledge allegiance to this Ji Jun, he was already prepared to break his blade.
He was different from his other colleagues. As an older brother who needed to protect his stupid younger brother, the Knee Bolus had always been by his side ever since he was born … He had nothing else to remember. There was no temptation in this world that made him want to stay.
After living with This Pill for five years, he had gone out countless times to deal with the evil thoughts of humans. This made him understand one thing — there was no place for them in this world.
So he didn't mind breaking blades with his younger brother.
But he waited for a long time, and all he got was a mission from the girl that he couldn't refuse …
"What are you thinking about?"
While he was in a daze, the black-haired girl in front of him seemed to feel his gaze on her. She tilted her head slightly and asked.
Her eyes didn't look at Choi, but instead fell on empty space. Her voice couldn't be ignored, and because of the mask, it was even more unpredictable.
Choi slowly pulled himself out of his memories, his amber eyes slightly curved.
Just by looking at her back for a moment, he could attract her attention … She was really a person with extremely sharp senses.
He retracted his gaze, hiding the cold indifference in his eyes. He curled his lips and said with a smile, "Nothing, Ji Jun."
He slowed down his tone, and the words came out of his mouth one by one. The last word became clearer because of this.
Lingsu didn't care. She nodded, turned around, and continued to travel through the space-time tunnel. She said, "That's good."
Choi raised an eyebrow.
"I only need the tools for this mission. If you ask me any questions, it will be very troublesome," the girl replied.
It wasn't that the swords in This Pill weren't within the scope of this mission, but when she thought about the unsolved problem of the two swords, and the uncertainty of this mission, Lingsu finally decided to change the target to the Minamoto brothers.
In the end, it was better to use something that didn't belong to her.
If the swords that had pledged their loyalty to her were destroyed in an accident during the mission … She would feel that it was a pity.
Moreover, she didn't think that without a bargaining chip, the Minamoto brothers would be an impossible mission.
This might be a chance to enter Choi and Knee Bolus' hearts.
As for the new successor of Marei's ring, White Orchid … Lingsu didn't know much about this person who had appeared out of nowhere.
But if he had the ability to travel through parallel worlds at will, and could use her in a parallel world to learn, then he would be very difficult to deal with.
This was the first time in her long life that she had seen someone with such an ability.
She subconsciously rubbed her fingertips under her sleeves. Her nails scratched against her fingertips, and it made her feel slightly ticklish, which made her feel a little excited.
This was a very rare and strange ability …
Soon, the exit of the space-time tunnel gradually appeared in front of everyone's eyes. The bell on Hu Zhihuo, who was leading the way, began to ring. The bell shook, and then ripple-like patterns slowly spread out from the bell, rippling around them. The fog thickened again, wrapping them up.
In the meeting room, a beam of blinding light suddenly appeared in mid-air. Under the growing golden light, the figure of a young girl gradually appeared in the light.
She was wearing a witch's robe, white on top, and scarlet on the bottom.
She was also wearing a Qianzao embroidered with cranes and pine.
Her long black hair was tied up neatly and wrapped in sandalwood paper.
She held a small fan in her hand, and half of her face was covered by the Prajna Mask. The eyes under the mask were like the drizzling alleys of Jiangnan. The corners of her eyes were slightly raised, and her eyes were moist. She seemed to be smiling, but also seemed a little ethereal. It was a sharp contrast with her dark red Prajna Mask.
"Nice to meet you."
The girl's eyes under the mask swept across everyone in front of her without leaving a trace. Then, she retracted her gaze and spoke softly.
When No. 04 saw her attire, he stopped in his tracks and looked at her with a stunned expression.
Then, he quickly reacted.
In fact, when they decided to entrust Lingsu to the Government of the Time, they had evaluated her ability from the known records of her.
Lingsu's spiritual power was very strong. This was indisputable. But just because of this, it wasn't the reason why they invited her from so far away.
Fundamentally, there were many people with strong spiritual power. The magicians who participated in the Battle of the Holy Grail, and the Onmyojis who could control ghosts. These people undoubtedly had strong spiritual power.
And they had just recruited a boy named Xiamu from the Modern World. He was also a human with strong spiritual power.
But Lingsu's strength was different from others.
It should be known that the reason why the Modern World could surpass any other plane of existence was that they had advanced technology that other planes didn't have.
But in terms of ability, the Modern World was at the bottom of most planes of existence.
Because for so many years, they could only find people with spiritual power.
Compared to the various ability users in other planes, these were simply not worth mentioning.
In addition to having spiritual power, Lingsu had another ability that was unique.
This unique ability was the treasure of the Ling Family.
As an ancient family of Huaxia, the Ling Family not only mastered the secret of eternal life for the last head of the family, but also let Lingsu keep her appearance unchanged and live in this world forever, but also gave her a special ability. This ability had always been called Dream Weaving.
It could blur the boundary between the Modern World and the Unreal World, and carry out a certain amount of conversion or fusion between the two.
It was similar to illusion, but completely different.
To some extent, this was a terrifying ability.
No one had seen her truly release it. Most of the time, Lingsu only used a small side of it when she used it — for example, hypnosis, or simply as an illusion.
Because of this, the limit of this ability had always been a mystery.
This Pill Blade would think that her strength lay in her sinister and bloody spiritual power and almost cruel calculations. But this was not accurate.
Her real strength was far from the point where she needed to show it.
Therefore, Lingsu could change her appearance at will. This was completely expected.
Number 04 understood.
After all, at this point, these senior members of the Government of the Time were well aware of a secret that had not been put on the table — there was a mole among them.
Under the premise of such an uncertain situation, it was better not to use her true appearance in a meeting with the senior members.
Thinking of this, Number 04 hurriedly stepped forward and led the interrogator to the only empty chair. He took out a brand new tablet, slightly adjusted it, and put it in front of the girl.
"Please take a look.
This is the detailed information of this meeting. "
After a brief introduction, Lingsu walked to the chair and sat down.
Choi and Knee Bolus stood behind her, one on the left and one on the right. Their palms were holding the True Blade on their waists. Their gazes were fixed, and their posture was full of protectiveness.
With such an important meeting, and one that concerned the future of the Modern World, the True Blade should not be allowed to participate.
Because the government personnel did not believe that the True Blade Funerary Deities were created by them.
But Lingsu's attitude was also very obvious. Even if she just sat quietly and did not speak, it was an acknowledgment of the two True Blades.
The senior members looked at each other and did not say anything in the end. It was a tacit agreement.
Choi, who looked down and took in all of this, gave a faint smile. His voice was weak and only floated to the interrogator's ears.
Her fingertips that fell on the tablet changed direction, and a stream of spiritual power flowed from her fingertips to the hand holding the True Blade.
Choi's hand trembled slightly from the pain.
"Remember what I said before. Be quiet."
Choi: "…"
Leibaun's gaze finally fell on the girl in front of him.
Like the Government of the Time, the Mafia's henchmen were all over the Modern World. After they invited this person from Huaxia, they also obtained some information about her.
"Hello, nice to meet you," Leibaun said, "I'm here on behalf of the Penglie family, Leibaun. It's about the White Orchid.
I'm sure you know most of the details.
His existence also affects the balance of the Mafia. "
"So what do you want to do?"
"Our goal is the same."
Leibaun said, his soft hands crossed in front of his chest. He sat cross-legged on the table seriously, "No matter what we do with him, the first thing to do is to stop him."
"The White Orchid can travel between parallel worlds.
We want to catch him so that we can continue to maintain order between the Mafia.
And you hope that the heir of Marei's ring can continue to protect the Modern World's history.
We can work together.
The White Orchid has already escaped to another parallel world. We can use the Mafia's power to find the White Orchid, and the Government of the Time's technology can temporarily seal him in a parallel world, preventing him from using his normal self to try to change anything.
And you … "
His dark round eyes looked at Lingsu quietly, and said in a child's soft voice, "I think you have a way to subdue him."
How to subdue him — — was the most important part of all.
Lingsu's mask swept across the Government of the Time's upper echelons.
"We agree." 04 said.
"Since you all agree." Lingsu stood up, fiddled with the hairpin, and pulled down the sandalwood paper.
With her movements, her ink-colored hair instantly fell down and spread messily behind her head.
"Then let's do this."
·
Because there was no way to know how long this anomaly would last.
Lingsu first returned the knife that was still in This Pill 3304 to her own This Pill.
And for the confidentiality of her identity, as well as the safety.
The final result of This Pill 3304 was announced to the public — — The remaining nine knives were all broken due to the deepening of the dark corruption, and there was no longer any possibility of recovery.
This news caused quite a stir among the various This Pill, and also because of this, the Divine Inquisitors also received a concentrated round of in-depth inspection by the government.
The staff carefully checked each Honmaru to see if there were any problems with improper use of swords and sabers by the Divine Inquisitors. They dealt with the sabers and sabers that had tried to use them to influence history in an improper manner.
But after all, in this relationship system, all the relationships were tangled and complicated, and a slight carelessness could cause a negative chain reaction.
So in the inspection, only those who tried to interfere with history were severely punished and publicly announced. As for those Divine Inquisitors who simply liked to abuse knives but did a good job of protecting history, nothing was done.
Of course, all of this was done in secret, and no one knew.
Lingsu knew what they were doing, but in the end, she did not say anything.
The number of This Pill under the government's management had increased to more than ten thousand this year, and this military force was far from enough to deal with hundreds of millions of enemies.
The government could not wipe out all the problematic This Pill just because of the Divine Inquisitors. This would not only cause a huge loss of manpower, but also a huge loss of military force.
Facing the aggressive and continuous attacks of the historical revisionists.
They could not afford to lose.
When this decision was made, Choi and Knee Bolus were standing beside the Divine Inquisitor, and they personally witnessed the Divine Inquisitor who liked to abuse knives, and after being verbally educated by the government of the time, he sent the repaired knives into the Divine Inquisitor's This Pill again.
… The fate that awaited them was self-evident.
"Are you angry?" A girl's voice came into their ears.
Her voice was still gentle, and there was even a hint of a smile in it.
But there was no smile on Choi's face. He silently watched as This Pill closed its door, and a faint light flashed in his amber eyes.
This was once again compared to a few days ago, when this girl used her actions to show them that she respected their choice, and was willing to wait for them to recognize her as their master.
Knee Bolus felt like he had fallen into hell.
Choi calmly took a step forward and pushed Knee Bolus behind him, and said softly to the Divine Inquisitor, "Ji Jun is indeed a great general."
It was not to say that cruel people were rare, but it was to say that after witnessing all this coldly, his expression did not change, as if he was just watching a show.
It was rare to see such a person.
Lingsu raised her eyebrows, "Can I interpret this sentence as' because you have seen many great generals, you are unwilling to be my knife? '"
"… What are you trying to say?"
Choi lowered his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him, "Do you think that after seeing all this, we will be willing to be loyal to you?"
Or are you trying to tell us that we are just puppets that cannot escape from the hands of humans?
Lingsu was silent for a moment.
"I am teaching you how to survive." She raised her hand and touched the devil mask on her face.
It was dark red, like viscous blood.
"It's not about being a sword that relies on humans, but rather, it's about how to survive in human society as an independent individual."
"Because of the benefits, you will make a choice.
This is the norm of the world.
You need to see more of this world. "
"Is this why you chose to bring us here?"
Yuqie glanced at his younger brother behind him and smiled without batting an eyelid. "The so-called choice wasn't there from the beginning. You gave us a choice, but no matter what path we chose, the final path will lead us to your side."
From the very beginning, the Divine Inquisitor had wanted the katana in the 3304 Honnen Pill to become her katana. From the very beginning, they had no ability to resist.
"But it will not deny the rights I gave you."
Lingsu said, "I am only trying to lead things to a place that is beneficial to me. The choice is yours."
