Although strictly speaking, even if someone really fits his XP system - for example, Yukinoshita Haruno actually fits his XP as a visual animal, he would not have any extra thoughts. He has been accustomed to observing the world from a detached perspective for too long, and he quite enjoys this perspective, as if he has entered the legendary realm of "Supreme Forgetfulness". He even thinks that this change is reasonable -

It's like when he was a kid he thought he could play those pirated Subor games for the rest of his life, but when he grew up he still left those things in the corner gathering dust.

People always speculate about their future selves.

But when I was a kid and thought I had no money so I wandered around the mountains and fields to kill the summer, I certainly could not imagine that when I grew up, I would have a "huge sum" of several thousand yuan, but I would still be full of worries and have no confidence in the future. A person's environment, the things he owns, the problems he faces, and the goals he wants to achieve are not static. No one can maintain an innocent childhood forever and live in the eternal youth.

Although Ling Wuji now feels that he is fixed in a certain period of time, just like the ghost of the skeleton that Zhuangzi rests his head on to fall asleep in "Zhuangzi's Greatest Happiness", Zhuangzi asks him that he can help him find the God of Life of Chu State to restore his body and let him return to his past life. However, when he hears him say that the happiness after death is like being a king, how can he give up this happiness and return to his previous hard life?

Although Ling Wuji didn't think that his previous life was boring, he would occasionally download an emulator and use a controller to play games from the Subor era out of nostalgia.

But he is indeed more immersed in his own world than before, and his connection with the outside world is becoming increasingly weak.

"Your Majesty?"

Seeing that he was distracted, Yukinoshita Haruno raised her green hand and waved it in front of him.

Ling Wuji came back to his senses and said, "So, what is your suggestion?"

"I can serve you for twenty years without compensation."

Ling Wuji rolled his eyes and said, "I heard that there is a custom in the Japanese political world that when the heir of a political family decides to go into politics, he or she will either take the civil service exam and work as a bureaucrat for a while, or become a secretary for a big shot, learn from that big shot, and add a faction label to themselves and accumulate reputation. I don't know what you think, but I am not without that awareness, Ms. Yukinoshita."

What Ling Wu Ji meant was that he did not intend to give Yukinoshita Haruno the opportunity to add his faction label, or to be more direct, he did not want to give her an excuse to bully others.

"You can do anything to me in these twenty years, okay?"

"anything?"

"Yes, anything."

"What if I told you to die?"

Yukinoshita Haruno said calmly, "If your job requires it, then that's fine, but I think it's not too much to ask for a pension, right?"

She could see that although Ling Wuji was in a high position, he might not be as reckless as he said. If he was just a reckless teenager, he would not have said so much to her, and would not even help her analyze the consequences, and let her put forward the conditions. So she said this just to leave some impression points in Ling Wuji's mind. Even if Ling Wuji disagreed, she could get a better result...

"You really think you know me so well that you want to gamble the next twenty years of your life on me?" Ling Wuji shook his head and said, "What on earth drives you to make such a gamble?"

"I am very clear about one fact. If the official history compilation committee is afraid of you, it can only prove that you have power that I cannot imagine. And right now, it seems that you don't have other ministers around you, right?" She quickly glanced at Shinomiya Ayase who was sitting next to her, and said, "Then, in the long run, my decision will not be a disadvantage at all."

"So, what do you want from me?" Ling Wuji said nonchalantly, "Power? Wealth? Fame? Or, violence that is superior to that of the funeral home or even the Japanese Self-Defense Forces?"

Yukinoshita Haruno keenly heard the boy's true identity from his words, and it was obviously the last one.

Violence that overrides the Japanese Self-Defense Forces?

what is that?

Does this mean that the person sitting opposite me is actually a Godzilla?

"It's not as bad as Godzilla, and if you do that, you might really create a Godzilla in the Pacific Ocean. However, compared to Godzilla, I am better at harvesting souls rather than physical destruction," Ling Wuji said, "So, you see, the reason they are afraid of me is because I have the power to harvest other people's lives at will, but they have no way to punish me."

But Yukinoshita Haruno thought about it and found that this fact did not seem to be beyond her expectations: the only organization that could pose a threat to the "deep state"-like organization of the Official History Compilation Committee, apart from being an organization of the same kind, was indeed only someone like him who could make those people fear him to that extent.

After all, among the two major instincts of living things, reproduction and survival, survival is undoubtedly more important than reproduction, and a person who can threaten everyone's right to survival can naturally make people surrender involuntarily, just like the lighthouse country on the other side of the ocean has been able to become the world hegemon for so long because its military strength is the strongest after the end of the Cold War.

The only question is, are his powers controllable, or are they just a switch like Pandora's box?

Yukinoshita Haruno thought about it and decided to rule out the latter option: after all, she had really witnessed the methods used by those people in the funeral home. Since she had seen with her own eyes the magic-like phenomena performed by those people, the young man who could give instructions to the leader of the funeral home must be able to control it.

So she still smiled at the boy.

"However, unfortunately, in fact, you are not my only minister."

Her smile froze instantly.

Volume 3: Between God and Man: Chapter 39: Investigation

Just as Ling Wuji said, the reason why Yukinoshita Haruno wanted to serve Ling Wuji was just to establish a relationship between herself or the Yukinoshita family and Ling Wuji, so that they could be branded with his faction, so that they could protect themselves from the power radiation of the official history compilation committee, and even improve their status as a county councilor, so that their Yukinoshita family could occupy a seat in the National Assembly.

Although this is a bit like wishful thinking.

After all, there are only two female heirs in the Yukinoshita family now.

But no matter what, Ling Wuzhi's thigh was definitely the thickest one she had ever touched.

Although she didn't quite believe that the boy alone was enough to rival the Japanese Self-Defense Forces.

However, although Ling Wuzhi did not agree, he still gave her a three-month probation period, and said in a contractual spirit that this was an assessment for both parties. If either party was not satisfied after the probation period, he would delete any traces and memories related to the mysterious side on Yukinoshita Haruno.

Then he was sent by Ling Wuji to do a social survey in a funeral home with Shinomiya Ayase.

For this matter, she even frequently skipped classes in college and went to the funeral home's base every day to communicate with some people. Of course, Sakuraman Shu and Tsuchiya Gaya knew that she was Ling Wuji's "subordinate", so they naturally did not stop this communication. Although they were not sure what the significance of Ling Wuji sending this person to do this kind of investigation was, since Ling Wuji had taken this action, it was obvious that he would not give up the funeral home easily.

For the former senior executives of the funeral home, such as Tsugami Gaya, learning of Ling Wuji's attitude, they felt mixed emotions: they were happy that the funeral home was not abandoned by Ling Wuji, but they were also worried that the funeral home might lose its independence.

However, the path proposed by Ling Wuji to them did indeed make those originally decadent members shine with unimaginable vitality.

Because they felt they were really saving Japan.

Although Yukinoshita Haruno had always been puzzled by the boy's words that she was not his only minister, and had not found any people, things or objects related to him around the boy, but over this period of time, just by coming into contact with these people in the funeral home, she had a general understanding of what the so-called mysterious side, the official history compilation committee and Ling Wuji were all about.

Although most funeral directors are quite vague about these.

The people who could really tell her the truth were probably people like Tsurugami Gai and Sittern, and perhaps the cat-eared girl Thrush who was in charge of intelligence could be barely included. As for Sakuramitsu Shu, Yukinoshita Haruno could see that he was purely being forced into a job. Although he had an extraordinary status in the funeral home, in fact, he played the role of a mascot, or to put it more nicely, the spiritual leader of the funeral home. Perhaps he could also make decisions at critical moments, but he usually left matters to Tsurugami Gai or Sittern.

On this day, after interviewing another person, Yukinoshita Haruno was about to go back with the organized materials, but she ran into Sakuramitsu Shu at the entrance of the base. He was preparing to go back with his blood-related "sister" - the idol singer Yui Inori who seemed to have retired, so she invited the Colorless King to get in the same car with her -

Although the driver was Shinomiya Ayase.

In her own words, there was no reason why she could drive an "End Rave" but not a car.

Although Tsuchiya Ya's original intention was to let her follow Ling Wuji as a liaison officer, didn't he see that the boy even drove out his direct subordinates like Yukinoshita Haruno? So for Shinomiya Ayase, who seemed to have found some meaning in being a driver, it might not be a bad thing, so she just let it go.

Shinomiya Ayase and Yukinoshita Haruno were sitting in the front row, so the "sister and brother" naturally sat in the back row.

But no matter how Yukinoshita Haruno looks at it, these two people don't look like siblings. Instead, they are more like an ordinary couple who are still in the stage of secretly loving each other. They only need a little external force to come together naturally.

Perhaps it was because her eyes were too obvious as she looked at the two of them with interest through the rearview mirror, and Sakuragi Shu himself had his five senses enhanced after becoming a king, so he easily noticed her gaze, but he was not used to that kind of gaze, so he took the initiative to ask:

"Speaking of which, Yukinoshita-senpai, what is the main purpose of the investigation that Ling asked you to do?"

"Some strange directions, such as whether the abilities granted by the king to the clan make them feel that their daily lives are affected, if there is an impact, is it good or bad, do they hope that the clan will continue to expand, if there is no king who can also obtain this ability, do they think it is unfair to them, etc.," Yukinoshita Haruno said casually. Her attitude towards this young man who even called her a senior sister was much more casual than when she was with Ling Wuji. Although according to some people, a king like Sakura Manshu might be on par with Ling Wuji, and Ling Wuji sometimes said that some kings are essentially humanoid self-propelled nuclear weapons, and they are not the kind that can be fully controlled, but Yukinoshita Haruno could not see what danger this handsome boy with a harmless face could bring, so she maintained her usual habit. "The above are just examples. In fact, there are many tedious issues, otherwise I wouldn't have to work so hard."

"So in your opinion, what is the purpose of your classmates asking you to do these investigations?"

Yukinoshita Haruno looked at the innocent look of the boy in the mirror and raised her eyebrows, but then said calmly: "Since you are so curious, why don't you go and ask him yourself?"

"I did ask him, but he just gave a perfunctory answer, saying that this kind of investigation is just to test your ability, but he should have some other intentions, right?"

Yukinoshita Haruno nodded, and then weighed it in her mind. Although that was indeed what Ling Wuji meant, there was nothing wrong with what Sakuraman Shu said. The direction given by Ling Wuji did have a tendency, so she finally said: "I think that the master of my family is probably considering whether to create a new class."

"A new...class?"

"Sakuraman-san, no matter how open-minded your clan is in recruiting, there must be people like Miss Shinomiya..." Yukinoshita Haruno turned to the girl in the driver's seat and said "no offense" before continuing, "People who can't produce marks or can't function, right? And this is probably what he is hesitating about."

Volume 1: Between God and Man: Chapter : Prologue ()

Although Sakuramitsu Shu's personality has become somewhat weak since the incident in his childhood, his mind is actually quite sharp and delicate. For example, when interacting with his classmates, he can easily grasp the intention of his classmates' words. Although his sharpness has brought trouble to his interpersonal communication to a certain extent, such as making him speak too directly and offend others, but after hearing what Yukinoshita Haruno said, he quickly understood the meaning of the female college student's words:

Ling Wuji wanted to disclose some of the information about the mysterious side so that people in normal human society could practice, but not everyone has that qualification.

However, although Sakuman Shu is a pure newcomer in the mysterious side, in his efforts to eliminate the dark side of society, there are many matters that require coordination with Scepter 4 of Reiji Munakata, and he has obtained a lot of information from them. He is well aware of the fact that due to the different qualifications of each person, the mysterious side has been hidden in the secrets of the world for thousands of years and has never been exposed to the secular sunlight. Even if it is exposed, many people will not be able to break through that threshold in their entire lives.

Is there any solution for Ling Wuji?

Sakuramitsu Shu thought for a moment and decided not to cause trouble for himself. He had never really understood what the boy, who was always unfathomable, was thinking.

Although his current position actually requires him to keep up with Ling Wuji's thinking.

But for this boy who was just an ordinary middle school student before, this kind of thing was a little too difficult.

So he changed the subject and said, "Come to think of it, didn't Ling teach Senior Sister Yukinoshita some tricks?"

Yukinoshita Haruno just shook her head.

Ling Wuji did not teach her any tricks.

I think it’s because I’m still in the probation period.

So she took the initiative to change the subject: "Speaking of which, how did you get to know my master?"

Sakuraman Shuu looked at Yui Inori, but Yui Inori obviously had no emotion, so her deep red eyes were still as calm as a lake. He thought about it for a moment and briefly described the original appearance of the matter - of course, it was the original appearance that he could see. As for the dealings between Ling Wuji and the Pluto of North America, he certainly didn't know about it, but even if there was no such incident, his experience could roughly restore the original events.

Although he fainted when Ling Wuji was dealing with Dart.

However, Ling Wuji also explained it to him afterwards.

"So Ling Jun is actually the one who solved the problem of the Apocalypse virus?"

When Yukinoshita Haruno heard that the Apocalypse Virus was basically the Sakuraman family's problem, she had a lot to say and want to complain, but what she was actually most concerned about was Ling Wuji's performance in the incident. After all, he was the person who was closest to her in the incident and the person she would be in contact with for the next twenty years of her life. But after hearing the end, she still felt it was a bit absurd: the reason behind the virus mutation that once sparked heated discussions in the secular world was actually like this?

if it is like this……

She subconsciously thought that if the truth was spread, if Ling Wuji was Japanese, the huge reputation he would gain would definitely make him be regarded as a living god.

At the same time, she vaguely realized that the "Stone of Origin" in Ling Wuji's hand was undoubtedly a powerful weapon.

If techniques like "Beidou's Soul-Injecting Death Technique" seem too profound and difficult, then the Stone of Origin is much more intuitive.

She didn't know the extent of Ling Wuji's control, but since he could use it to suppress the Apocalypse Virus, he could probably also loosen the control and even allow the Apocalypse Virus to spread more widely, right?

She was even a little excited.

"Yukinoshita-senpai?"

Sakuraman Shuu thought she was happy for Ling Wuzhi's achievement.

"Sorry, distracted."

Yukinoshita Haruno took a deep breath and calmed herself down, thinking that the boy did have many secrets and that she had made the right bet.

This person can definitely take the Yukinoshita family to the next level!

Although he doesn't seem to have any good feelings towards capitalists.

But Yukinoshita Haruno has confidence.

After all, if Ling Wuji wants to do something, he must have manpower.

The Yukinoshita family can provide this manpower gap.

What she didn't know was that the only daughter of the Gongshengyuan family, whose status was far superior to that of the Yukinoshita family, was in a sense like Ling Wuji's underground lover. As long as Ling Wuji was willing to use the Gongshengyuan's manpower, the few manpower of their Yukinoshita family would be just a drop in the bucket.

Of course, in terms of personal qualities, Yukinoshita Haruno is indeed far superior to a vase like Arisa Kouhoin.

If Ling Wuji asked Arisa Koubei to do some social survey or something like that, the result would definitely be terrible, and she would definitely not be able to draw any useful conclusions. The eldest daughter of the Koubei family is only fit to be a vase, and although Ling Wuji actually had a relationship with her, his personal evaluation of her would not improve much.
