Chapter 526: Conversation

Sunlight spilled down from the sky, dispelling the haze that had covered the Tokyo Area for some time, making the entire Tokyo Area look brand new.

The crisis of Scorpio had passed, and the entire Tokyo Area was plunged into revelry. One must know, the one that had invaded the Tokyo Area this time was Scorpio, one of the eleven Great Calamities reigning at the top of the Gastrea pyramid. Yet the final result was that the Tokyo Area did not suffer any damage, while Scorpio completely vanished into thin air.

That's right, completely vanished into thin air. Even the remains salvaged from the sea had completely lost their vitality and become entirely dead objects. To prevent any remnants of Scorpio from existing and being used by others to do something later, Lingyun had also released an enhanced version of the Purification Light in the area of Scorpio's remains, completely wiping out the last bit of life force Scorpio had left.

One must know, in the original work, someone had borrowed the head left behind by Scorpio, together with the "Solomon's Ring," a device for communicating with Gastrea researched by Russia, to summon the even more dangerous Stage Five Libra. Lingyun would not allow such a thing to happen.

Before the Seikyo, Seitenshi was holding a press conference, detailing the ins and outs of this incident to the public, while simultaneously answering tricky questions raised by various reporters. Of course, how much of the ins and outs of this incident was true, how much was false, how much was concealed, and how much was misleading, all depended on Seitenshi's control.

Lingyun stood alone on the roof of a building opposite the Seikyo, watching the camera flashes flickering incessantly below and the bustling officials and celebrities, with an unidentifiable light swirling in his pupils.

"Lingyun, you seem to be very uninterested in this victory banquet!" Nangong Nayue, holding a parasol, appeared by his side.

"It's not just me who isn't interested; others aren't interested either!" Lingyun said.

"As the heroes who defeated Scorpio, the most important figures of this victory banquet, not a single one of us is attending this banquet; I reckon many people are quite disappointed!" Nangong Nayue looked at Seitenshi below, who was dealing with numerous reporters, and spoke slowly. "People who dare to do this, I reckon, are probably only us!"

"Not true, didn't Tendo Kisara go? She should still be eating happily at the scene right now! In the eyes of many, they have long been in the same boat as our Lingyun Town; if one were to reluctantly regard them as representatives of Lingyun Town, it seems that wouldn't be impossible!"

Lingyun's gaze seemed to pass through the walls of the building, seeing the young girl at the banquet scene eating and drinking regardless of others' gazes, as well as Satomi Rentaro beside her, covering his forehead with a look of helplessness.

"Enju doesn't seem to have come either!" Nangong Nayue said.

"Do you think she would be interested in this kind of banquet full of schemes and hypocrisy? In the last few days, she seems to have hit it off with Senju Kayo and those newly joined Cursed Children!" Lingyun said. "By the way, Yuejiang, what do you think of the Tokyo Area?"

"Very poor; this place is the worst city I have ever seen!" Nangong Nayue opened her hand, and a Space Array appeared in her palm; a cup of steaming hot black tea emerged from the Space Array.

Lingyun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows as he watched this scene. He remembered that when he and Nangong Nayue left the town, Nangong Nayue had once instructed Ashtarte to brew a cup of fine black tea. He had wondered why Nangong Nayue would say that at the time; now it seemed she had been prepared long ago!

"It is clear that the people of this world all survive by relying on the Cursed Children, and even the two Stage Five that fell during the Gastrea War were killed by relying on the Cursed Children. It can be said that they are the hope of this world. But under these circumstances, they actually still go to such lengths to persecute these children; it is truly a matter hard to imagine." Nangong Nayue said slowly. "To tell the truth, I would like to see how they would survive if the Tokyo Area lost the Cursed Children!"

"I think they must believe right now that the Army is invincible!" Lingyun shook his head and said.

"The Army is invincible? If the Army were invincible, then why are they still cowering in this place, gasping for breath!" Nangong Nayue said unceremoniously. "Instead of fighting back themselves, they turn their cowardice and fear into anger and vent it on those innocent children who cannot choose their own birth; it is truly despicable!"

"It can be seen that you are very angry about the current situation!" Lingyun said.

"What I want to say is that these children are still young now, and their understanding of themselves is not enough. If, in ten or twenty years, the grown-up Cursed Children develop a sense of resistance, then the human kingdom might just perish because of this!" Nangong Nayue said.

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect you to be so radical, Yuejiang!" Lingyun's mouth couldn't help but twitch. "What do you think of the current Seitenshi?"

"The current Seitenshi is nothing more than a child who hasn't grown up yet, but in a sense, she can also be considered a qualified ruler; it's just that this ruler is not yet mature, and too much power is held in the hands of others." Nangong Nayue said. "Perhaps this place will be the first to become a place where ordinary people and Cursed Children coexist peacefully. But there is also a greater possibility that this place will become a place where ordinary people and Cursed Children are irreconcilable!"

"Being able to coexist peacefully is because of Seitenshi, and being irreconcilable is because of Tendo Kikunojo, right?" Lingyun asked.

"That's right, in the future political confrontations, whichever of these two can gain the upper hand, this region will develop in that direction!" Nangong Nayue nodded. "However, I don't think that child can beat that old fox, even with Chen Jing's guidance; her foundation is too weak."

"A weak foundation is not a problem; we are still here!" Lingyun said.

"Then what about after we leave?" Nangong Nayue asked.

"After leaving, I will scout out a good Assistant Official for her; what do you think of Satomi Rentaro?" Lingyun said.

"Excessive sense of justice, but he is not a very annoying person! It is said that he was cultivated by the Tendo family when he was young, and was being cultivated in the direction of a politician, right?" Nangong Nayue said. "But he himself also lacks strong support!"

"No, behind him is quite a bit of support!" A mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Lingyun's mouth. "Should I say, as expected of the protagonist of this world!"

"Well, it seems you already have a complete plan?" Nangong Nayue said.

"The plan is just an outline, and it is still being constantly adjusted now. But I believe that with his strength, there will definitely be no problem!" Lingyun said.

Just as the two were talking, Lingyun's mobile phone suddenly rang.

After answering the phone, a smile suddenly appeared on Lingyun's face: "Seitenshi invited me to meet with her; do you want to go and see together?"

"Let's go, I'm also a bit curious about what she wants to do." Nangong Nayue said.
