Yae Shinko smiled sweetly, "That's enough. But I can't give it to you directly now, after all, there are people up there." As she said that, she pointed her finger to the sky.
"Then pass this thing on to that idiot Scaramucci."
After the girl finished speaking, she turned and disappeared from Yae Shinko's sight, as if she had never been there.
Chapter 54: People Not Seen by God
In early autumn, the weather is clear and cloudless.
Yingmei walked on the winding and rugged road leading to the Coral Palace. The leaves of the trees on both sides gradually turned golden, and occasionally a few leaves fell in the wind.
Before she knew it, she had been on Haizhi Island for almost a month.
During this month, she performed well in combat and became the captain of a rebel squad.
However, this kind of life gradually made her feel boring and dull.
She often looked into the distance, thinking of someone, thinking of how he made midnight snacks for her, thinking of some interesting stories he told her, and thinking of the warmth and security he brought when he was by her side.
"Traveler, when can we return to Inazuma City?" Paimon smiled with a depressed look on his face.
"Paimon, I actually want to go back, but not now. The resistance forces of Kaijima and the shogunate army are about to have a head-on decisive battle. How can I leave at such a critical moment?"
"OK then."
"But after this decisive battle, I plan to go back and see that bastard Ueno Chiki."
Paimon immediately became excited, "Great! I can eat his cooking again."
Yingmei stretched out her finger and tapped her forehead, "All you do is eat, eat, eat."
At this moment, a surprised voice came from far away, "Traveler!"
A young sergeant ran towards them quickly.
It was Zheping whom I hadn’t seen for a long time.
"Hello, Teppei, how have you been lately?"
"As for me, I'm doing pretty well. But because I'm not very strong, the tasks I'm assigned to do are to deliver supplies to the rear."
Yingmei put her hands on her hips and said proudly, "Then you have to work hard. I am already the captain of the Swordfish Second Squad of the Special Operations Team of Kaiji Island."
"What?!" Teppei opened his eyes wide, with an expression of disbelief, "Sword Sword Fish Second Division? Is it the special operations team named Sword Fish as I understand it?"
Yingmei nodded, "Exactly! I'm so capable, so of course I'll get promoted quickly."
"Then congratulations." Zheping's expression became a little complicated.
"Thank you. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"goodbye!"
After taking a lingering look at Yingmei's back, Zheping walked towards his camp dejectedly.
He has been in the army for three years, and he has worked diligently for three years, but now he is just an ordinary sergeant without any military position.
However, the Traveler was promoted directly to captain of the Special Operations Team Swordfish 2nd Squad in just one month.
Even joining Swordfish Squad 2 as an ordinary member was something he longed for but could not achieve.
He clenched his fist tightly, his fingertips digging deep into the flesh of his palms, as if trying to struggle out the pain in his heart. His nails scratched his skin, blood gradually seeped out, but it could not relieve his inner resentment.
"Why is God so unfair! My wish is so strong, why don't you give me the Eye of God? If I had the Eye of God, I could have made many contributions and be promoted to captain or general!"
Since he is not being watched by the gods, he can only turn to the devil.
He took out an evil eye that exuded an ominous aura from his arms. After receiving an emergency notice that the evil eye was life-threatening, he was ready to hand it over, but now he changed his mind.
Instead of living a mediocre life, it is better to bloom the spark of your own life.
At least I can make the girl I love remember me.
At this time, Yingmei and Paimon arrived at the gate of Coral Palace.
"How is it, Traveler, is the process of taking office going smoothly?" Coral Palace Xinhai asked Yingmei in front of him with concern.
Yingmei leaned forward with her hands on her waist, looking proud, "It went very smoothly. After all, I am a famous traveler!"
"Every member of Swordfish Squad 2 is so proud and arrogant. You are worthy of being the one who can seduce them all!"
"Hahahaha." After receiving praise from Coral Palace Xinhai, Yingmei couldn't stop laughing.
"Traveler, I have a secret mission to entrust to you." Coral Palace Xinhai's expression suddenly became solemn, and he took out an evil eye from his hand.
"Isn't this the evil eye?" Paimon exclaimed in surprise, "But this evil eye seems even more ominous and makes people feel uneasy."
Coral Palace Xinhai nodded, "This is a low-quality evil eye made by the Fatui using crystallized bone marrow. I have ordered the soldiers to hand it in, but evil eyes are still flowing into the army. I hope you can find out the source of these evil eyes."
"Don't worry, just leave it to me!" Yingmei replied confidently.
.......
At night, in the secret base of the Fatui in Inazuma Castle.
The lady looked at the Fatui members present with indifference, "Tell me, how is your recent work progress?"
Every member had a bitter look on their face and was very cautious, not even daring to breathe loudly.
She immediately became furious, "You useless people, I gave you so much time and you didn't accomplish anything."
"Madam, we have tried very hard, but when others heard that there was no funding, they all ignored us. Even the Tenryo Bugyo and Kanjo Bugyo personnel who were polite to us before became very cold." A middle-aged member of the Fatui said bravely.
"Didn't you tell him that if he joined the Fatui Organization, he would be promoted soon?"
This member was even more speechless. The purpose of promotion is to increase salary, but without salary, who would care about your position?
Only those poor people who were exiled from Zhidong wanted to get promoted and try to leave this godforsaken place as soon as possible.
Of course, these words cannot be said out loud, otherwise it will offend the hot-tempered witch in front of me.
The lady's eyes were full of disappointment. She turned her gaze to Ueno Chiki, hoping that this person she liked could bring her some good news.
Being stared at by the lady's fiery gaze, Ueno Chiki knew that he could not escape, so he took the initiative to speak, "Madam, I have encountered many difficulties in my work recently. I have been in danger many times and almost lost my life. But when I thought of you, I was inspired and tried my best to overcome one difficulty after another. It is your broad mind that warms me, and it is your fiery brilliance that illuminates me..."
"That's enough." The lady interrupted him and said, "Just keep these things in your heart and talk about your work."
"Yes, ma'am. I have successfully recruited a holder of the Eye of God into our organization. He is very powerful and can cause great damage."
"Code 9527, well done!" The lady couldn't help but praise.
Seeing the people she liked achieve results, she had a sense of accomplishment. At the same time, she made up her mind to recommend the intelligence chief code-named 9527 as the chief of the Inazuma Fatui, responsible for all affairs of the Fatui in Inazuma.
Chapter 55: The Brother-Sister War in the Mulou Teahouse
Inazuma Castle in early autumn displays a bleak beauty.
On both sides of the street, fallen leaves were drifting in beautiful arcs. The air was filled with a slightly cool and humid air, interweaving with the freshness of early autumn.
People were walking in groups of three or four, hurrying along.
The people of Inazuma Castle have already learned the news from the front line, and soon the resistance forces of Kaijima and the shogunate army will have a head-on decisive battle.
If the shogunate army lost the war, Inazuma Castle would be attacked by the rebels on Kaijima at any time.
What made the people even more angry was that the Tenryo Bugyo and the Kanjo Bugyo teamed up to deceive General Raiden, making him think it was just a minor conflict.
The head of the Kamisato family, Kamisato Ayato, mentioned this matter many times at the imperial meeting, but at this time the Kamisato family was affected by the Hunting Eye Ceremony incident and had lost the trust of General Raiden.
All his efforts were ultimately in vain.
Inside the Mulou tea room, three young men and women were sitting at a tea table.
"Kujo Takayuki and Tong Shinsuke, these two old villains! How could they deceive the general like this!" Kamisato Ayato's teeth were almost broken.
It would be fine if these two old guys would do anything to achieve their goals, but now that Inazuma is on the verge of life and death, they are still deceiving General Raiden.
Do they really think that General Lei Dian is invincible?
Haizhidao must have had some reason to be so radical.
As far as he knew, the Fatui were behind it.
The Chief, Second, and Third Executive Officers of the Fatui are comparable to gods.
In addition, he also heard that the current human-god priestess Coral Palace Xinhai on Kaiji Island can use the power left by Kaiji Daimikoto.
Thinking of this, he sighed deeply, "Alas, General, how can you be so foolish?"
Kamisato Ayaka and Toma, who were sitting opposite him, did not show any sadness.
Kamisato Ayaka and Thomas had seen through everything long ago. General Raiden was an incompetent, talentless and immoral ruler.
After the promulgation of the Hunting Order and the Closure Order, people's lives deteriorated, and Inazuma became gloomy and decadent, like a dead country.
After a painful struggle in his heart, Kamisato Ayato's eyes gradually became firm, "Ayahua, Thomas. I agree with your plan. When the time comes, all the members of the Society will assist you in your actions."
"That's great, brother. With your help, our plan will definitely succeed." Kamisato Ayaka said excitedly.
"But I still have a question. Was this plan really made by the master in Narukami Taisha?"
Kamisato Ayaka nodded vigorously, "Brother, this is indeed her decision. She said that she wanted to make that blockhead sober up and that if he can't manage the country well, he should be out of the picture."
"That's her usual style indeed."
Then, Kamisato Ayato sighed, "The war is coming, Kujo Sara will be transferred to Kujo Jinya, and the Tenryo Bugyo will stop the strict search. The residents of Inazuma Castle can finally live a stable life for a few days. It's just a pity that the summer festival cannot be held this year."
When it comes to the summer festival, Kamisato Ayaka gets extremely angry.
She had made an appointment with Ueno Chiki to attend the event together, but due to the impact of the Hunting Eye Ceremony, the summer festival was forcibly stopped by the Tenryo Bugyo.
She had been looking forward to it for so long that she had even chosen the kimono for the summer festival. She was ready to astound Ueno Chiki and then spend an unforgettable festival with him, leaving behind eternal and beautiful memories for the two of them.
But all this was in vain.
I'm so angry!
"Also, Ayaka, that Ueno Chiki is not a good person. He has an ambiguous relationship with the traveler. Let's cancel the engagement as soon as possible."
Kamisato Ayaka turned her head and rolled her eyes at Thomas angrily. It should be Thomas who told her brother about this matter.
Thomas put his hands up to show that he was innocent.
"Brother, you don't understand Qianshu at all."
