Chapter 424 There's More Than One Unlucky Person
"Qi Wu, you've stirred up a huge mess."
At the Hokkaido Prime Minister's Office, Juzoji Tsukihiko hosted Qi Wuzongxuan, who had fled there.
"Nobody wants to cause trouble, I was just unlucky."
Qi Wuzongxuan emphasized this point, saying that although he lost the Osaka region, it was not a fault of war.
"Jizōji, you have to help me."
He looked at the man in front of him and said.
"How can I help you?"
"Retake the Osaka area."
"I'm sorry, I can't do that. I even have to worry about whether my rights here in Hokkaido will be taken away by that Holy Emperor in Tokyo."
Juzoji Tsukihiko refused Qi Wuzongxuan's request. As a fellow member of the Five Flying Society, he couldn't risk his own life to help Qi Wuzongxuan regain his power, especially since Qi Wuzongxuan had easily become a defeated fugitive.
"There are flights to overseas destinations at Hokkaido Airport tomorrow. I will arrange for you to board. If you have a good place to stay, you can contact my secretary beforehand. But if not, I think the Moscow security zone would be a good place. You can enjoy the snow there."
Juzoji Tsukihiko got up and left. Soon after, the sound of things being smashed and broken came from the reception room, but it did nothing to change anything.
Although they are both at the highest level of the Five Flying Stars Association, their relationship is merely one of mutual support and assistance.
When one side is completely out of control, it's already quite impressive that the other side can do this.
"Send me to America. I still have some connections there. I will remember your kindness and will repay you if you ever need my help in the future."
The next day, Qi Wuzongxuan returned to normal, his eyes filled with gratitude that was hard to tell whether it was an act or genuine. He held the hand of Juzoji Tsukihiko and solemnly bid farewell to the Prime Minister of Hokkaido.
"You are an old friend of mine. Now that you are going to a foreign land, I don't know when we will meet again. Please take good care of yourself."
Juzoji Tsukihiko, also filled with deep affection, held the hand of his old rival and friend and gave him some words of advice.
Qi Wuzongxuan boarded the plane, but after three hours of flight, he could clearly feel the plane descending.
"What's going on? Weren't we supposed to be going to America?"
Qi Wuzongxuan sensed something was wrong, so he called over a flight attendant to inquire.
"We're going to the United States, but we need to change planes midway. We're landing now to transfer to another plane."
"That's what the waiter replied."
"Where is this place?"
"Over Tokyo."
The hand that was about to draw its gun stopped, because the waiter in front of him had already drawn his gun and pointed the dark muzzle at him.
"Lord Qi Wu, welcome to Tokyo."
As the plane landed, an elderly man, who looked rather old but quite thin, greeted them from below.
"Zi Hengxian, you and that guy Juzoji Yueyan betrayed the Five Flying Society together?"
Qi Wuzongxuan looked at the guy who was greeting him and asked through gritted teeth.
"To be precise, it's not that we betrayed the Five Flying Stars Association, but rather that we, on behalf of the Five Flying Stars Association, formally announce our abandonment of you personally."
"Have you pledged allegiance to the Holy Emperor?"
"No, we've pledged allegiance to the Scorpion Cult."
The old man adjusted his glasses and answered.
"On the night the Osaka area fell, I took gifts to visit the master of the Scorpion Cult. I bowed deeply to Lady Aqua to express the Five Shokai's apology."
He also informed him that the attack on the Scorpion Cult was Qi Wuzongxuan's personal act and had absolutely nothing to do with other members of the Five Flying Stars Society.
"What benefits did the Scorpion Cult give you that made you betray your own people?"
"No benefits whatsoever. The Scorpion Cult has given us no benefits whatsoever. We just want to live and don't want to be implicated by you and then killed."
That night, Broly took Hiruko Kagetane's advice and personally found an abandoned city to film a persuasive video.
In the video, Broly orders the three safe zones to cooperate in capturing members of the Pureblood Society, otherwise, things will end up like the abandoned city before him...
Upon witnessing the city being razed to the ground in an instant, the current prime ministers of Sendai and Hakata, Inao Muramaro and Kaihoko Masamori, immediately contacted each other to express their respect for the Holy Emperor and their willingness to follow all instructions from the Tokyo Safety Zone.
After seeing the video, Juzoji Tsukihiko in Hokkaido considered his own position and chose to contact Shiko Senichi in Tokyo.
After Wuxiang held a small internal meeting of its senior executives online, Qi Wuzongxuan, who had caused a major problem, became a pawn to be discarded.
Sending the person responsible for starting the holy war back to Tokyo and handing them over to the Scorpion Cult is how the Five Flying Society expresses its sincerity.
"Lady Aqua, this is our Five Flying Falcons' pledge of loyalty to the Scorpion Cult. From now on, we will do our utmost to capture those Pureblood Cult members hiding among the people!"
"Hmm, very good. I have seen your loyalty. Our Scorpion Cult is not a cult that kills people indiscriminately. We will not punish the mastermind behind this bombing just because he was a member of your Five Something Society."
Shiko Senichi personally visited Aqua and, through his connection with Tendo Kisara's guardian, kowtowed and apologized to her, offering her fine wine. This had an effect.
The Five Flying Spirits have passed the test, but the price is that they will have a religious father figure above them from now on. Even so, Zi Hengxian still has to kneel down and kowtow twice, showing a look of deep gratitude to the Scorpion Cult, and loudly praising Lady Aqua's benevolence.
Of course, Aqua never asked this person to do so; it's just that this person was somewhat frightened by the video of a Saiyan destroying an abandoned city with a single energy blast.
Aqua looked at the old man Qi Wuzongxuan and, thinking of the attack on the church in the outer city two days ago, loudly announced his public hanging.
With things having come to this, Qi Wuzong Xuan did not resist. Before his execution by hanging the next day, he was imprisoned in a detention center.
"Why are you staying here? Is there something you want to say to me?"
Looking at Zi Hengxian, who had sent him to the detention center but hadn't left immediately, Qi Wuzong snorted coldly and asked.
"Qi Wu, your failure is certainly related to your bad luck in running into the Scorpion Cult, but this bad luck is also caused by your personality. You are too stubborn and self-willed, always wanting to do things by force. In this incident, you didn't even bother to consult with me."
"Ha, if I were to discuss this with someone like you, would you still agree to my assassination of the Holy Emperor and my dealings with the Scorpion Cult?"
No, it won't.
"What you've always been thinking about is replacing that old fox, Kikunojo Tendo, as the Emperor's advisor, then pulling the Emperor into the Five Flying Brotherhood, and making that brat the leader of the Five Flying Brotherhood!"
"To dominate the world, one must use force; but to rule the world, one must use appeasement. I see this ability in the Holy Emperor."
"What kind of ability is that? If it weren't for the Scorpion Cult, they would really deserve to die. If I had known earlier that the Scorpion Cult wasn't some tool religion that the Holy Emperor put forward to manipulate people's hearts, I would never have provoked the Scorpion Cult."
Qi Wuzongxuan slapped his forehead hard, but who would have thought that a religion that seemed to be just a tool for manipulating people's hearts actually had real gods inside?
Qi Wuzongxuan kicked an ice cream bucket on the street, only to find it had landed on a solid cement pillar. He felt pain, excruciating pain, but he still insisted that it was just bad luck, not a lack of ability.
"Sometimes, luck is also a part of strength, and even if you don't deal with the Scorpion Cult, as long as you want to deal with the Holy Emperor, your fate will not change."
"Um?"
"According to the intelligence I have gathered, the boy named Broly, the Scorpion Cult Inquisitor, was initially looking for a wife, and the Holy Emperor was one of the wives he was looking for."
Why are you telling me all this?
"I'll let you die peacefully, just because we're acquaintances."
The next day, before being hanged, Qi Wuzong Xuan cried out "Bad luck!" three times.
However, he wasn't the only one who was unlucky.
Those who joined the Pureblood Society also suffered terrible misfortune.
Armed forces from Japan's five major security zones, having passed the Scorpion Cult's vetting process, began a large-scale arrest of Pureblood Society members within the zones, based on the Pureblood Society's official member list.
The idea that "the law does not punish the masses" is complete nonsense, because these people were arrested not because of the so-called law, but because of the doctrines of the Scorpion Cult.
A terrorist attack ignited a holy war, and Aqua had no intention of stopping until she had eliminated these hostile elements with heretical ideas. As a result, a large number of Pureblood Society members were captured every day in the five safe zones.
bang bang bang...
These members of the Pureblood Society lined up to be executed, their deaths broadcast live.
Although there have been witnesses to the atrocities committed by the Pureblood Society against the cursed children, the daily execution of hundreds or even thousands of Pureblood Society members by firing squad is still somewhat unacceptable in Japan, where the death penalty was difficult to impose before the disaster.
The latest novel is first published here!
As a result, the online reputation of the Scorpio Cult began to turn sour.
Some human rights activists believe that the Scorpion Cult is too barbaric and brutal, and that such a barbaric and brutal religion should not exist in a civilized society.
However, when someone asks why you don't speak out when the Pureblood Society also treated some cursed children so brutally?
These people would answer that it was because we didn't know those things before.
If someone continues to ask, "Now that you know, why are you still speaking up for those scumbags from the Pureblood Society?"
These human rights activists would reply: Putting aside the facts, isn't the son of the curse also at fault?
Even if the Cursed Child is not at fault, hasn't the Purebloods already received enough punishment?
Why does the Scorpion Cult involve so many people?
Why not execute all those who merely joined the Pureblood Order but never did anything wrong to the Cursed Children as death row inmates?
Aqua, a goddess who was willing to listen to public opinion, pondered the online comments and adjusted the execution criteria, announcing: "Pureblood members who haven't committed any substantial evil against the Cursed Children can atone for their crimes and receive forgiveness from the Scorpion Cult if they can report other Pureblood members who have done wrong."
This was supposed to be a good thing, but the consequences were unbearable. A large number of Pureblood Society members who had already been arrested denounced each other, and all sorts of filth came to light.
What kind of group captured the cursed child, tied him to a cross, poured gasoline on him, and burned him? What kind of group, in order to prove the supremacy of pure blood, fed poisoned food to the cursed child in the outer city...?
The perpetrators ranged from the elderly to teenagers.
Some of the methods used were so cruel that they were utterly inhumane.
However, even so, there are still people on the internet who are trying to whitewash the Pureblood Society.
It is believed that the reason why some official members of the Pureblood Society did such an outrageous thing is because the Scorpion Cult had not appeared before.
These people, out of fear of Gastrea, have done inappropriate things to the cursed child who carries Gastrea.
Even if someone explained to them that as early as ten years ago, when the first batch of Cursed Children were born, various safe zones had issued announcements informing the public that the Gastrea virus in the Cursed Children's bodies was stable and would not easily infect ordinary people.
Those who try to whitewash the situation will explain it away by saying that ordinary people don't understand such announcements, or that the government's credibility was too low at the time.
In short, it's about downplaying the issue: acknowledging that some official members of the Pureblood Order were wrong to harm the Cursed Child, but claiming that those Pureblood Order members who went too far were justified in doing so in the past.
They believe that the Scorpio Church should be magnanimous and forgive these ignorant people, and that not forgiving them would be petty and lacking in vision.
This claim is absurd, but some passersby were actually convinced, believing that these online "rationalists" were absolutely right. They went to the official website of the Scorpion Cult and left messages of protest, hoping that the Scorpion Cult would stop its terrible practice of shooting and persecuting those Pureblood members who had been excusable in the past.
In addition, some people called on the people of the five security zones to protect the Pureblood Society members in reality and not let them be easily arrested by the security zone's law enforcement teams, calling it something that every righteous and humane person should do.
The enforcement team's operation to arrest official members of the Pureblood Society was thus hampered, and even the number of Pureblood Society members who had already been arrested and were waiting in line to be executed was decreasing day by day.
This made Aqua wonder if she was wrong to insist on maintaining the holy war.
Just as Aqua was beginning to doubt herself about her decision, a generous guest arrived at the church in Tokyo's inner city.
"Lady Aqua, can you resurrect the dead?"
"able."
"Then I would like to ask you to resurrect my wife."
"Huh?"
"I am willing to give up everything I own if you can bring my wife back to life."
"Well……"
Aqua was somewhat surprised that the old man who had donated 50 million just to meet her would say such things after they met.
"Sir, wait a moment, is your wife dead?"
"Yes, she died twelve years ago, in the mouth of a Gastrea."
"Ah, she died twelve years ago. Did she leave any body behind?"
"No, she was eaten."
"Unfortunately, to resurrect the people of this world, I need a corpse as a medium. Your wife did not leave behind a corpse, so even if I wanted to resurrect you, I simply cannot do so."
Is that so?
Kikunojo Tendo showed a disappointed expression.
"If you regret donating the money, sir, I can refund you, but only half of it."
Aqua whispered.
"No need, but I want to say that those comments on the internet who believe that your Scorpion Cult should stop persecuting official members of the Pureblood Society are correct."
Upon hearing this, Aqua's expression changed: "You old fool, you wouldn't happen to be a member of the Pureblood Society, would you?"
Kikunojo Tendo shook his head: "I didn't join the Purebloods, but I can understand the feelings of those who have had their loved ones taken away by Gastrea."
Even though twelve years have passed, the thought of my wife dying a horrible death at the hands of Gastrea still fills me with utter disgust for them.
"But what does it have to do with those cursed children, since it was Gastrea that killed your wife?"
"It doesn't matter, but I still resent it because of my wife's death. I am filled with resentment towards everything related to gastritis."
Of course, I did not harm the Cursed Children, because I knew they were an important tool for my revenge against Gastrea.
However, I can control the resentment in my heart because I am who I am. As for the ordinary members of the Pureblood Order who do excessive things because of resentment, their actions are by no means wrong; they are just people whose eyes are blinded by resentment.
If you, Lady Aqua, cannot change the harm those people suffered at the hands of the Gastrea, then please do not accuse them of heretical acts committed out of resentment, which are now considered by the Scorpion Cult to be contrary to their doctrine.
You are not those people, so you cannot experience their pain, nor can you understand the things they would do because of that pain.
Kikunojo Tendo bowed deeply to Aqua, having come with the hope of reviving his wife, only to leave disappointed by the news that she could not be revived.
The words left behind by this frail old politician before he left were meant to put mental pressure on the goddess Aqua, but he underestimated Aqua's extraordinary wisdom.
The Scorpion Cult quickly issued a new announcement...
