The entire headquarters was quiet and full of blood.
Pei Ziyun didn't stop, but stretched out his hand to grab a dark place. Hearing two screams, he grabbed out two groups of gray and black air, with two faint faces.
The two souls groaned and struggled. Pei Ziyun looked solemn and said slowly, "Tell me what year it is now."
The two souls are Hiroki Yasunori and Satoshi Tsugawa.
An Zehongshu had just died and was not yet conscious. He was just full of instinctive hatred. When he heard the question, he screamed and resisted the answer. Pei Ziyun smiled, with a hint of sarcasm: "It's ridiculous, you are still alive." That’s all, you’re dead and you still want to resist what I say?”
Sure enough, no matter how spiteful he was, it only lasted less than three seconds. Anze Hiroki still had to answer: "This year is the seventeenth year of Tianhua."
Tianhua is the emperor's reign name, and Japan still has the habit of saying the reign name.
"It turns out that a year and a half has passed? It's strange, the maximum time in space is ten days." Pei Ziyun said thoughtfully: "General space does not have this effect. Is it a special restriction?"
Then I thought that Satoshi Tsukawa's soul seemed to still have some resistance, and screamed: "I am a priest serving Tianjin God, you can't do this to me."
When the gods ask questions, they have to answer and tell the truth. This sounds exaggerated, but among ghosts and gods, this is not an exaggeration.
Originally in Greek mythology, when the hero asked questions to the souls, many souls often had to answer.
If it were a god, even the lowest level god, an ordinary mortal soul would have to answer, even if it meant killing his own god.
In fact, Pei Ziyun only recovered as a demigod, so he still had time to delay resistance.
"Ridiculous!" Seeing Jinchuan Satoshi's resistance and not wanting to hear such nonsense at this time, Pei Ziyun slightly bent the middle finger of his left hand and stabbed it into the mist-like soul. The soul was wrapped in smoke on the outside and looked like a ball, but it was actually very thin. , with one stab, countless memories were revealed.
Suddenly, a sharper scream sounded.
In fact, when a mortal dies, the average soul may not have enough power to hold memories. When it comes to petitioners in the West, it is set that they will lose some or all of their memories, which actually makes sense.
Now, with just a prick of a finger, the skin is broken, and the soul is screaming, and countless memories are constantly being lost at the gap. Waiting for Pei Ziyun to pull his hand, Jinchuan Satoshi's soul turns to ashes and scatters in the wind.
"Catastrophe?" Pei Ziyun glanced at it, stepped on a newspaper, picked it up, flipped through some meaningless news, and came to a column with special comments.
"As the public has seen, a year ago, a large number of evil spirits attacked, and hundreds of ghosts even appeared at night in some areas. The more rural and mountainous areas with smaller populations, the greater the harm."
"The government has to move many villagers from remote mountainous areas and rural areas to cities. Cities are overcrowded. Because humans are too busy to take care of themselves, poultry pets have to find a way to survive on their own, eating garbage and corpses. Some even no longer fear humans and attack humans."
"The only good thing is that after scientific research, evil spirits must have something to support them before they can actually cause direct harm to people, and they can still exercise a lot of restraint during the day."
"A large amount of farmland is mechanized and production is carried out during the day, so food self-sufficiency can still be maintained."
"It is said that fireballs fell from the sky in Europe, man-eating trees sprouted from the earth, and the vines entangled and devoured them. Giant spiders grew out of the fruits, chasing and killing humans."
"Pumpkin men and scarecrows appeared in the United States, and walking corpses appeared in Africa."
"Especially in backward countries and regions, social order no longer exists. Robberies, murders, and rapes all happen in broad daylight. People have no time to take care of themselves and have to endure it."
“Even in our own country, basic order is maintained, but in order to maintain security, local governments have to develop armed forces. Local armies, militias, and associations have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and they no longer obey the central government. This is simply the prelude to the chaos of the Warring States Period. "
"The situation is changing so fast!" Pei Ziyun sighed. It seems that this is not just a Japanese country, but a global matter.
What's amazing is that Japan in this world is very similar to Japan in our own world. The difference is that Japan in the original world had to transform into a democratic society after World War II and the landing of US troops. Prefectures, prefectures, and cities, towns and villages all implemented local laws. autonomy.
In this world, the shogunate entered a democratic society. Each county was originally autonomous by the feudal lord. After entering a democratic society, it maintained basic autonomy rights.
The two can be said to have the same purpose but different approaches.
But in troubled times, loose local autonomy shows signs of feudalism and separatism. Compared with a year ago, it is very sad.
Putting down the newspaper and letting it float in the wind, Pei Ziyun glanced around and saw the ruins. After searching, he found a phone with a broken screen. He dialed a number and heard " Du Dudu's "busy sound, could use it, couldn't help but happy, put the phone on the ears side, but waiting for a long time, it was always blind sound and could not be connected.
I dialed another one and was quickly connected: "Hello, this is the office of the president of the Bando Foundation. Who are you?"
"I'm looking for Bando Aiko."
"Excuse me, do you have an appointment?" A polite but polite voice came from the other side.
"No, but tell her that I am Yamada Shinichi."
The person on the other end of the phone was startled. There was a rustling sound, and he could vaguely hear the small steps of high heels approaching.
"Yamada-kun, is it really you? Yamada-kun?" The phone was picked up, and a surprised voice came. It was Bando Aiko, with a slight breath.
"It's me, I'm Yamada Shinichi."
"You...where have you been in the past year and a half? I sent people to search everywhere, but they couldn't find you. There is no trace at all."
"I went to follow the person who kidnapped Hayakawa Naomi, and I didn't want to lead him to the opposite space." Pei Ziyun answered very simply: "It should be the real headquarters of the overthrown army."
"I only stayed for about ten days, but it's been a year and a half since I got out."
"But as soon as I came back, I was attacked by the army. The other party used cannons and pre-embedded detonators, which seemed to be specifically targeting me."
"This is the commander's name and serial number." Pei Ziyun reported the serial number and name fluently, and said in a deep voice: "The priest's name is Jinchuan Roshi, and he seems to be from Jinluo Palace."
"Kinragu Shrine is a shrine dedicated to Emperor Kitami. Although there are not many people visiting, the size is not small. I understand how much conflict you have with them. I will mediate immediately."
In Japan, if someone says that the consortium controls the government, it is actually false, but if it is just said that it is a consortium that is the lifeline of the economy, it is appropriate.
The Bando family has 16,000 direct employees, 14 core enterprises and banks, and 200 affiliated companies. It has close relations with the government and has great influence.
Hearing this, Pei Ziyun said: "No need, I will kill them all."
"All...killed?" Bando Aiko on the opposite side was obviously shocked. After hearing this, she hurriedly asked: "How are you? Are you okay? Are you injured?"
When Pei Ziyun heard this, her heart warmed up. In this kind of thing, she still asked about her safety immediately. Her thoughts were already shown, and her smile did not change at the moment: "It's okay. Let's count the time by shooting from the army and kill them all." It took them about twenty-three minutes.”
"The headquarters has a video record. I checked it and it's basically intact. I'll send it to you!"
With that said, Pei Ziyun sent the video.
The village was shrouded in fog, and the headquarters was still on the periphery. It could be sent successfully. After receiving the video, Bando Aiko's voice became serious: "Where are you now?"
"I'm still in Haiji Village."
"I'll send someone to pick you up right away." Bando Aiko raised her phone slightly and said to the person next to her: "Check the garrison near Haiji Village."
And read out the number.
"Hi!" Someone immediately responded, turned around and rushed out. Only five minutes later, the person who had just left came in and said a few words in Bando Aiko's ear.
Bando Aiko nodded, frowned, and said, "Why did you kill them all? They are the 605th Squadron and the regular army."
Bando Aiko had a headache.
Pei Ziyun smiled, a bit cruelly: "The other party is determined to kill me and uses cannons. How can I not kill him? Tell me, what is the background of the other party."
"The background is not much. It was originally a squad of the emergency company. After the situation became serious, the army expanded and became a squadron."
A squad is slightly larger than a platoon, usually 54 people. A squadron has a squadron headquarters, a communications officer, and three squads. It carries armored vehicles, machine guns, and even 1-2 cannons.
"The process of military expansion involves local autonomy background participation. We had already suspected that they were colluding with the rebels, but the trouble is, they are indeed within the military ranks." Bando Aiko said, frowning: "You are in danger now, don't If you wander around, I'll send someone to pick you up immediately."
Pei Ziyun snorted coldly: "I'm not afraid."
"This is not a question of whether you are afraid or not. The key point is that it is okay to say that it is just a squadron. If the other party continues to send national troops to encircle and suppress you, will you resist or fight?"
"If the confrontation continues, let alone us, even the shogunate will be unable to do anything except declare you an enemy of the country."
"How is my family?" Pei Ziyun interrupted.
"They are all safe and everything is normal. I have sent people to protect them."
"Understood, I'll wait for you." Pei Ziyun hung up the phone and lowered his head in thought. This world in Japan is very strange, with an emperor, a shogunate, and a democratic government.
After the Shinkawa shogunate unified Japan, it controlled 9.1 million koku of the direct territories. At that time, Japan's total stone height was only 22 million koku. In other words, it controlled 40% of the heavenly territories and the emperor only had 6,000 koku. It also promulgated the "Forbidden and Merger of Public Domains" "Acts", the emperor's task is to learn, the general has the right to interfere with the marriage of the royal family, and has the right to make the royal family become a monk.
After entering a democratic society, the democratic central government was actually established through compromise between the emperor and the shogunate. It can be said that the emperor and the shogunate are the parents of the democratic government.
The Prime Minister is democratically elected and approved by the Emperor. His title is the Prime Minister of the Japanese Cabinet. After serving for two years, he will receive the official position of the Second Chief. This can be posthumously granted (Note 1), but some key positions are reserved by the shogunate. , especially the military.
Under such circumstances, it is indeed difficult to openly confront the government troops. It is still only a squadron. If it continues, the shogunate's guarantee will not be maintained, or in other words, it is not worth it.
But Pei Ziyun just smiled, found some food and mineral water, turned around and went out - he still had to settle Naomi Hayakawa.
Note 1: The Prime Minister of Japan is a Cabinet Minister (にほんこくないかくそうりだいじん). China has long abolished the gift, but Japan still retains it. After serving as prime minister for two years, he will get the second position, which is equivalent to A Buddhist Bodhisattva, a Prime Minister whose term is less than two years, is only comparable to an Arhat
