It is located on a narrow beach between Anjiu City and Shangjing. It has always been a sleepy fishing village. As early as a week ago, all residents were removed from the land where they had lived for generations.
They were replaced by teams of soldiers. Two security companies participated in the protection of the entire Zhonggui Town, including Xisheng Defense Company and Intercontinental Joint Special Service Company, as well as a capable and professional special forces code-named "Thirty-Seven"
, also called the 37th Legion.
This is the strongest formation money can buy.
Under their protection, Ms. Noriko Honma took her ship "Hanazuru", departed from Kisori Jingu Shrine at a constant speed, and cruised at a safe speed to Belluki Town. Life and health support facilities have been prepared on the beach for Honma.
Used by Noriko.
She has lived in a sterile room and the highest standards of medical monitoring for a long time. Her 135-year-old fragile body cannot withstand any impact, and the slightest interference may kill her.
Since her body could not bear the neurosurgery, she missed the opportunity to transcribe and upload her consciousness. She could only stay in the residual body, using all the spices, medical magic and intelligent life support methods to try her best to extend her life day after day.
Now, she doesn't have to persist like this anymore.
Through the ritual of the ancient witch, one can either ascend to become a witch or die from the epidemic.
At six o'clock in the morning on the winter solstice, Ye Zi took another shuttle of hers and arrived at Zhonggui Town. The village houses had been completely razed to the ground, and a super-large resort center that could accommodate 1,000 people was built using prefabricated construction technology.
Sheng's sons and daughters watched the ceremony here.
Most people will be there. This is a family gathering we haven't seen in a long time.
"Good morning, Aunt Ye Zi, why are you here in a combat shuttle?" Shenlin Kurang was smoking on the roof and saw that Ye Zi's shuttle was equipped with a floating gun cabin.
"It's a bit scary to come to such a wilderness." Even Ye Zi didn't believe what she said.
Six layers of defense lines have been deployed around it, protected by countless intelligent self-aiming artillery, mines and anti-aircraft artillery arrays. A main force of surface ships composed of missile ships is anchored 15 nautical miles away and will arrive at any time.
She came with a weapon for self-protection.
Ye Zi had no idea what would happen, and Xu Yang and Farosha refused to reveal any information.
"Haha..." God Lin Kuro smiled. He was waiting for his mother God Lin Ximei here. "Homma Noriko's ceremony, this scene is really... the biggest I have ever seen in my life."
"Only the ancient witch came alone." Zi Zi murmured, looking at the temporary hut on the beach.
She knew that Falosa was there, alone, with nothing but a few belongings, a water bottle, and a shoulder bag. She wrote a list of ritual tools and asked Xisheng Group to purchase them together.
There was no help or any weapon. Yanagawa Fumihiko was supervising the scene. He could let the sniper execute the order at any time and execute Farosha.
"They said," said Kuro Kambayashi, "that once the ceremony is completed, Lord Honma Noriko will be able to live an extremely long life."
"Yes, leader Xisheng enjoys endless prosperity." Ye Zi's eyes looked blankly in the direction of her mother, "She has many great plans to implement."
"Ah, the Xisheng mission plan." Kuro Kambayashi heard about it, "Re-evaluate the value system of the Eastern Hemisphere."
Xisheng’s mission.
This term popped into Ye Zi's mind.
The mother was once discouraged, but as her hope of extending her life became closer and closer, she put forward the ideas and plans of her later years and shared them with her children at family meetings.
Xisheng's mission is to achieve the highest degree of monopoly, destroy the trademarks of all other companies, provide everyone with everything from birth to death, prohibit them from breeding, and let this generation of humans die with infinite care to avoid rebellion.
Then a very small number of people, namely the children of Xisheng, will be left to enjoy the resources on a global scale.
Not just to conquer everything, but to control everything.
"Only mother can complete such a mission." Ye Zi admitted, "No one else can do it."
"Yes, by then, we will be able to measure everyone's needs and creativity, and it will be thousands of times more orderly than now, predict and design every factor in the world, and measure economic and social laws with our own hands... I don't think it can be better than that.
That’s it.”
"There is also the issuance of Xisheng banknotes." Ye Zi sighed, "...Mom must have told you that she would pull out all the money, abolish all cash flows, ban gold, close civilian external network connections, and destroy all the financial systems of everyone and the company.
Seize, destroy, reconstruct, and harvest every penny of everyone’s funds. Everyone is a Xisheng person. People shouldn’t have such messy thoughts.”
"I really can't wait." Kuro Kambayashi was a little excited, "Only Noriko Honma has the ability to implement these great ideas and integrate every company under the Xisheng banner."
"So I'm here." Ye Zi showed a sad smile, "I provide this plan to my mother so that she can live to implement her great idea."
The sky was overcast, and the morning light seemed to be covered with a veil, making it difficult to see clearly.
More and more shuttles arrived, carrying the sons and daughters of Nozomi. As the family matriarch's power grew, they gained higher and higher status because they were particularly concerned about the safety of Noriko Honma.
The leaves hide like ghosts at the edge of the terrace, silently watching how people come and go.
She saw Minamoto Tosamune, the president of Hisei Defense Company, and Jiro Aoyagi, the chairman of Hisei Industrial Group. These two men provided military and industrial production capacity for Hisei's expansion. They were the third and fourth generation members of the family respectively.
, working overseas most of the time.
They had obviously made an agreement in advance, and now they arrived one after another. They quickly lowered their heads to greet each other, expressed friendship to each other, exchanged glances tacitly, and then left the terrace under the escort of security personnel. They walked briskly and did not want to be discovered by others.
Kana Kurokawa, the head of Xisheng Investment Department, arrived, followed closely by Nozomi Kambayashi of Xisheng Real Estate Group. They arrived two hours before the ceremony. Kuro Kambayashi saw his mother and quickly went up to greet her.
"It's been a long time since Xisheng's children came together like this." Kurokawa Kana looked at the leaves in the corner, "It's all your credit."
"Yes, meetings are usually online, but now everyone can see each other in person, but it feels strange." Ye Zi smiled.
"You look really bad." Kurokawa Kana turned and walked away.
Her clothes were also dark, and she was escorted by several mechanical warriors. They repeatedly checked Ye Zi with scanners, causing the miniature panel in front of her to keep popping up warnings, but Ye Zi didn't take it seriously.
A gyrocopter marked Xi Sheng arrived.
"Sister Ye Zi!" Honma Shaojun jumped down from it, left the butler's arms, happily ran to Kojima Ye Zi, and greeted her with a smile.
Shaojun is the last child of Noriko Honma. He is the youngest at only 13 years old. He came from the eggs that Noriko Honma had frozen in his early years. He is the only boy named "Homma".
When Ye Zi ran away from home, Shaojun was just an illiterate idiot, but now he looks particularly elegant and decent, wearing a well-tailored formal suit.
"Young Master..." Ye Zi knelt down and stroked this little brother. He was only 13 years old and looked much braver than Ye Zi. She lifted him up like she did when she was a child and transferred him to the humid beach covered by the morning sun.
"The ceremony will begin soon." Shaojun pointed curiously.
Falosa was like this, guarded by so many soldiers and watched closely by Xi Sheng's sons and daughters.
The leaves hold their breath.
Falosa wanted to perform a ritual on Noriko Honma, but she was alone in front of everyone.
This is why Ye Zi is so eager for Farosha to be normal, to fulfill her promise safely, and to complete the ritual as usual, because if Farosha does anything that exceeds the rules in the slightest, she will be killed immediately, destroyed, and annihilated from the atomic level.
Not just her, Ye Zi will also be executed.
Ye Zi looked towards the heights of the building, where there were several Cyborg snipers on standby. The guns were filled with rare anti-magic bullets. Once they hit the witch, the magic circuit would be blocked immediately, making her no different from ordinary people.
On the outskirts of the village stood the reality manipulator hired by my mother, a woman named Nilu, who possessed three kinds of magic powers at the same time. With her around, no external force could invade and would never threaten the ritual on the beach.
There are so many cameras and drones that they can form an electronic equipment front. They are suspended in the air, sweeping and locking every detail of the venue, and broadcasting it to the villa for Xisheng's sons and daughters to supervise.
"Tomorrow, no, today the whole world will change." Ye Zi whispered.
"Do you know what will happen? Sister?" Shaojun asked.
"I don't know, that's why I look so worried." Ye Zi sighed.
Falosa closed her mind and refused to reveal anything.
What Ye Zi had to do was to bring Du Qianqian to the scene. To be precise, he brought the kitten that Du Qianqian had transformed into to the beach. Ye Zi didn't know why, but she was told that it had to be this way.
She knew that she had become a puppet in Falosa's plan, but there was nothing she could do.
Because this matter is of great importance.
"Shaojun, go and play." Ye Zi put Shaojun on the ground, threw him downstairs, and let the servants surround Shaojun to other more luxurious and interesting places in the village.
Immediately afterwards, the leaves also left the terrace.
At 7:10 in the morning, she came to the outskirts of Zhonggui Town. A witch suddenly appeared in front of her, put down a cat, and then disappeared.
"Mimi." Yin Jianlayer raised her head and made a light cat sound to Ye Zi.
Is this the cat that Du Qianqian turned into? Ye Zi secretly thought. What does Farosha want her to do?
Then, all she had to do was bring the cat to the scene, and part of her mission would be completed. Ye Zi picked up Yin Jianlai and walked towards Zhonggui Town. She had to lead it through the streets frankly and calmly.
"There is a no-go zone ahead." A soldier from the 37th Legion blocked the way with a heavy sniper rifle in his hand.
"I am Kojima Yezi."
"I know who you are."
"Send this cat to the scene." Ye Zi said, "Hand it into the hands of the witch yourself, don't give it to anyone else."
"We will report it." The soldier took a photo of the cat's condition and uploaded it to Yanagawa Fumihiko.
"That is an important person, please send him to the beach respectfully." Yanagawa Fumihiko had already received the news via satellite phone yesterday that the scammer Michael would be sent to him at this point.
The soldier took the cute kitten to the beach.
"Wait here." Another soldier said to Ye Zi.
"Okay." Ye Zi remained calm.
It will be delivered. Ye Zi thought to himself.
Soon, she turned around and saw two soldiers in black riot armor appearing with main battle rifles, constantly checking her with scanners. Then, more soldiers appeared from all directions, as if they also had magic powers.
They came here for the leaves.
"You come with us." An armored member of the 37th Legion appeared and roughly pushed Ye Zi, "Go over there and squat down!"
"No - don't!" Ye Zi stepped back in horror, "Why?"
"Be quiet -" Yanagawa Fumihiko appeared in a circle. He rushed forward and grabbed Ye Zi's shoulders with all his strength. "The cat you sent to the beach was an ordinary cat. Where did you hide Michael?"
"Stay away from her!" Qian Zhanyin appeared from the shadows. After several gunshots, she was beaten into a sieve.
"Qian Burying Yin——" Ye Zi turned around and saw the female ninja being shot dead. A soldier grabbed Ye Zi's arm and injected an anesthetic injection into her hand.
Ye Zi opened his eyes wide and the world was spinning.
