Marubo Izakaya
Although it is in a remote place, it is famous for its high-quality sake. Every evening, Marubo Izakaya is always crowded and lively.
And since it is noon now, all the ordinary employees are at work. There are only a few people in Marubo Izakaya, and there are even fewer customers.
At a small table in the corner, a veiled woman was drinking sake alone, waiting for someone. Around the woman, several people in casual clothes but with a somewhat vigilant expression could be seen, seemingly guarding her.
This woman was wearing a blue and white skirt. She looked like a gentle woman, but even though she was wearing a veil, it could be seen from her frown that she was in a very bad mood.
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a suit and a gloomy face walked in outside Marubo Izakaya.
Masahiko Iwatada walked directly towards the woman when he walked in from Marubo Izakaya: "Rie, you've been waiting for a long time."
As he spoke, he sat across from Li Kai and said without any signs of indifference: "Waiter, please bring me a bottle of sake!"
Due to the small number of people, the service at Marubo Izakaya brought the sake quickly.
Masahiko Iwataka sat opposite Li Hui, neither of them spoke, just silent. After the wine arrived, Masahiko Iwazam poured the wine into a large cup, took a heavy sip, sipped the wine, looked at Li Hui opposite, and thought He said something, but remained silent.
After a long time, Masahiko Iwasa finally spoke up and asked Rikai in a low voice: "Have you finished reading Yamada Shinichi's book "Seven Samurai"?"
In recent times, the most sensational thing on Japanese forums is undoubtedly the publication of Yamada Shinichi's book "Seven Samurai".
Once "Seven Samurai" was published, it became a hit in Japan and received numerous positive reviews, which largely reversed other people's prejudice against Yamada Shinichi.
And now, Seven Samurai has released its third volume - The Volume of the Chrysanthemum and the Sword.
"I've seen it." Li Kai took a sip of a glass of sake and said calmly.
"Are these true?" Masahiko Iwasa asked solemnly, his eyes fixed on Li Hui.
Li Kai took another sip of sake and said nothing.
After a moment of silence, Masahiko Iwasa asked again, with suppressed anger in his deep voice: "Rikai, I know this is not your real name, but is it true?"
"An alternate history?"
"A history in which Tokugawa Ieyasu conquered the world and established the shogunate!"
"But will the emperor take power in the end?"
"Then the invasion of the mainland failed and Japan was destroyed by the atomic bomb?"
There was anger hidden in Iwasata Masahiko's eyes, and he clenched his fists tightly under the table without realizing it, asking all the questions in his mind in one breath.
"No, Iwataka-kun, Japan was not destroyed by the atomic bomb." Seeing Iwatada Masahiko's anger, Rikai sighed helplessly and explained sincerely.
"Really?" Masahiko Iwasa didn't believe it. He shook his head slightly and said, "If it wasn't for destruction, why would the evil ghost come here?"
"Don't they have their own world?"
Seeing Li Hui's silence, he took a deep breath and said, "Parallel worlds have also been proposed in this world, but it's just not scientifically possible."
"Every time a parallel world is split, it means that the energy of a single world is reduced by half."
"After several divisions, the whole world may come to naught."
"Even according to theology, I'm afraid only shadows can exist."
"You want to take over our world, just like evil spirits take over the bodies of living people."
"Indeed, I love power, but I love life even more! I love Japan in this world even more!"
"If you really want me to gain power at the cost of Japan's destruction, then I would rather not do it!" The angry expression on Masahiko Iwasha's face has disappeared, and turned to coldness.
Li Hui sighed and explained: "No, Mr. Yanzhen, listen to me..."
Masahiko Iwasa stretched out his hand to stop Li Hui from speaking, saying: "I'm sorry! I have made up my mind!"
Saying that, Masahiko Iwatada sighed, took out a check from his arms, pushed it respectfully in front of Rikai, stood up, and bowed: "This is my last offering!"
"I'm sorry, I can't support this kind of history!"
With that said, Masahiko Iwasa stood up and left.
"This is already the third one!" Li Hui did not stop him. He watched Masahiko Iwasa go away, couldn't help but squeeze the wine glass tightly with his hand, and smiled bitterly.
The publication of "Seven Samurai" did not have a fundamental impact on public opinion. Instead, it enabled many people who originally sympathized with the rebel faction to change their perspective and face the fundamentals of the rebel faction.
For many people in this world, the emperor is a tradition, and revival is acceptable, but completely subverting history is not acceptable. The Tokugawa Shogunate and the Meiji Restoration cannot bring any emotion or resonance to them, especially when the final result is Nuclear weapons destroy.
As for Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu, they are just small figures.
At this time, behind Li Hui, Takeshi Satoda in casual clothes came over and bowed to Li Hui: "Madam, do you want it?"
Takeshi Satoda had a shaved head and a demon tattoo on his neck. While speaking to Li Hui, he made a slashing gesture with his hand in the air.
But when Li Hui heard what Takeshi Satoda said, he immediately stood up and slapped Takeshi Satoda on the face with a "pop".
"Idiot, you have to know that we are at a disadvantage!"
"Iwatada Masahiko is not a chaebol, but he is also a third-generation council member and has considerable influence in the political arena. If you do this, you will immediately alert the shogunate!"
"And it also chilled the hearts of our allies, causing them to immediately distance themselves from us and become wary of us!"
"Our cause is progressing slowly because of people like you, Red Deer!" Li Hui said angrily.
After being slapped, Takeshi Satoda immediately stood up, bowed his head, and said, "Hi! Madam, that's what you said!"
Li Kai was furious, but what Takeshi Satoda said made her even more angry. She stamped her feet and was about to continue talking, but then a "didi" sound sounded.
Li Hui took a deep breath. This phone number was a secret. Only a few people knew it. Every time he called, there must be important news. He answered the call immediately and ignored Satoshi Takeshi.
Just listening to the voice coming from the phone, although Li Kai was prepared, his face darkened: "What? Omi Keita and Ueno Soichiro broke their legs, and Suzuki Ryota was killed in the bathroom?"
"Yes, the other party is very targeted. They are key figures in every link. No one else has been killed. According to the logic of the crime, it is obviously aimed at a higher-level backbone."
"Hirayama, what's going on? Has anyone leaked the secret?" Rikai asked: "And Jinchuan Shrine doesn't have this power, right? Did the shogunate intervene?"
Omi Keita and Ueno Soichiro were both middle- and lower-level employees who were only temporarily employed. Rieke didn't care about their losses, but Suzuki Ryota was a formal member of the organization. As long as he passed this incident, he might be promoted to a cadre.
It is not easy to develop people under the nose of the shogunate. This is a loss.
Moreover, as far as Rieke knows, Suzuki Ryota is now in charge of the public opinion incident attacking Yamada Shinichi!
"Madam, our intelligence personnel have not noticed any changes in the shogunate or Jinchuan Shrine, but the most important thing now is not this, but avoiding a bigger blow."
"If possible, please notify the superior who is in charge of this matter and ask him to transfer as soon as possible!" Daisuke Hirayama on the other side of the phone touched the sweat on his forehead with his hand and suggested carefully.
Daisuke Hirayama made the call as soon as he learned the news. Even so, he was still sweating.
Daisuke Hirayama is an intelligence officer who is responsible for some intelligence, but this is the first known attack specifically targeting the organization!
He did not hesitate and immediately reported to his superior Li Hui.
"Well, I understand, you continue to supervise."
Rikai's tone softened slightly and his expression changed: "I did not directly intervene in this matter! Empress Suzuki Ryou, now the target is Kidoura Shigenori, and then Ohno-kun?"
"No, I can't wait any longer. I have to go immediately!" Li Kai stood up and said, "Quickly, follow this address and go immediately without any delay."
"Hi!"
A moment later, a car sped away somewhere on the road.
Bridgewood Apartments
Li Hui got out of the car and ran upstairs without hesitation. However, this apartment was built 40 years ago and there was no elevator. He ran straight up and looked at the house number. After taking a breath, Li Hui hurriedly called on his mobile phone. Knocking on the door.
Listening to the "dong dong dong" knock on the door, Ohnozawa Takashi in the room opened the door and was shocked when he saw Rikai outside the door.
Ohnozawa Takashi asked Rihui seriously while letting him in, "Why are you here? According to the rules, we cannot meet unless there is something urgent."
Li Kai said in a deep voice: "Yes! Ohno-kun, there is something urgent!!"
"The third volume of Yamada Shinichi's "Seven Samurai" has been released. It is the volume of the Chrysanthemum and the Sword. It tells the story of the Lord God. You must know all of this and have read it."
“But what I’m showing you is not the book itself, but the changes it produces—and that’s bad for us.”
With that said, Li Hui took out the USB flash drive from his pocket.
Ohnozawa Takashi felt an ominous feeling, and with a livid face, he hurriedly inserted the USB flash drive into his computer, opened the USB flash drive, and found that it was filled with videos.
Inside the video are edited video clips, showing some conversations, each lasting not long, no more than ten minutes.
Riki said to Ohnozawa Takashi: "Ohno-kun, these videos are edited video clips, showing that some people saw the conversation of Yamada Shinichi's "Seven Samurai". I have deleted the unnecessary nonsense, leaving only key pieces."
"Each clip is not long, only a few minutes to ten minutes."
"You, open one and take a look!"
Ohnozawa Takashi opened it and took a look, and cut out a section in which Naoto Inamine was looking at Yamada Shinichi's book. He was frowning and saying, "Tokugawa Ieyasu, who is this person?"
Naoto Inamine is a famous critic who is famous for his sharp and targeted comments. His most outstanding comment was his criticism of "Time No Longer" by the Japanese literary master Masaichi Iwakata.
In the video, Naoto Inamine was reading Yamada Shinichi's book while writing and drawing on the manuscript paper with a pen. He murmured: "The history of Tokugawa Ieyasu after that is very interesting, and the deduction is impeccable."
This was just an inconspicuous person. Ohnozawa Takashi cut out another clip. It was Yasuhiko Okura who was watching and discussing the book. This was a president with assets worth tens of billions of yen and a confused look on his face.
Below, there is an individual with a higher status. Many may not be rich, but they hold important positions in the government and police agencies and have great influence.
Ohnozawa Takashi broke out in cold sweat as he watched. It was a fatal thing that so many secret sympathizers and supporters had doubts.
