Chapter Seventy-Nine: Ending the Wall of Dongzhou
Major Racecourse wept in the back.
"Is this permanent?" She asked pleadingly, she looked at Zhang Su, and then at Miss Lianwu who was silent in the distance.
"Semi-permanent, no exposure to any moonshine for the next 6 months, otherwise it will be extended for 6 months." Zhang Su said briefly.
"Woo......" Major Racecourse was extremely frustrated.
Should I say it or not, after being covered by the magic of the moon of the lotus mist, the originally middle-aged uncle-like horse farm Naoya is now like a twenty-eight girl.
The soldiers behind the horse farm are all as beautiful as flowers, and they can even be said to be pitiful!
Their colleagues recognized it for a long time, and finally recognized their good brother and hurriedly took pictures.
Zhang Su remembered that there were some variations of the moon's magic, and these variants could exist at the same time, depending on whether the witch was willing to devote herself to developing them.
"Tidal variants" summon and direct water currents, and can even create small gravitational objects.
The "Taiyin variant" reverses the sexual characteristics of the organism to females, and works best for mammals.
The "Eclipse Variant" curses life, and once it shines on the moonlight, it will twist into a monster and become the most disgusting appearance in their hearts.
It seems that Miss Lianwu is also super powerful, Zhang Su doesn't want to be illuminated by the moonlight of Lianwu.
Agents of the Ministry of Internal Affairs arrived 30 minutes later, sirens howling, piercing the silence, and black vehicles surrounded the walls of Dongzhou.
Zhang Su supervised the movements of the garage personnel, and the soldiers watched vigilantly and curiously, and what happened next would be closely related to their lives.
Agents of the Ministry of Internal Affairs entered at gunpoint and announced the arrest of Kiyobei Takagi, Naoya Baba, and 10 other soldiers involved in the case.
"Supervisor Zhang, we are under the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Defense Forces, please allow us to carry out the necessary investigation of the suspects." The agent saluted Zhang Su.
"Please." Zhang Su made a brief gesture.
Technology, loyalty, unity.
The internal affairs department was in charge of the loyal part, and Zhang Su felt that they were like a group of shadows, exuding a chill.
Kiyobei Takagi stood motionless in the center, looking calm even though his hands were handcuffed in silver.
Zhang Su still remembered that he had just met the commander before he left the wall of Dongzhou, and at that time Takagi Kiyobei gave him the impression that he was still conscientious.
Looking at his resolute face now, Zhang Su wanted to know how much of it was disguise.
It was raining outside, and Zhang Su gave Takagi Kiyobei a ride.
Raindrops lapped against Zhang Su's damaged coat, and the sound was muffled.
Before getting into the car, Takagi Kiyobei said goodbye to Zhang Su.
"The extramural investigation was successful." Kiyobei Takagi's eyes were complicated.
"After this trip, everyone has grown a lot." Zhang Su greeted Kiyobei Takagi.
"It's not just growth, the soldiers survived on the front line against the demons, which shows that they are the best warriors in Dongming, and it was you who tempered them into real blades, I admit your great victory, Supervisor Zhang." Kiyobei Takagi said.
In his eyes, Zhang Su is not a mediocre man who talks on paper, but another rising star in the human defense plan.
If he hadn't been handcuffed, he would have shook hands with Zhang Su and praised him for his victory.
"The Erosion Zone is safe, the 'Innocent' Irini has retreated, and demonic activity has been greatly reduced. Our main force is still there, but I'm going to go back to Ansan. Zhang Su said.
"To the Anxin Hospital? The wall of Dongzhou is yours from now on, don't you want to do something? Kiyobei Takagi said in a skeptical tone.
“…… There's nothing to say, I still want to know, why the hell didn't you report the wall of Dongzhou. Zhang Su didn't trust him.
"In your position, you feel that you have few allies. From my position, I saw the same thing, as if there were walls on all sides. Kiyobei Takagi shook his head.
"Say it, maybe there's a glimmer of hope." Zhang Su asked.
Kiyobei Takagi nodded, and the rain ran down his face.
“…… It's part of the deal, as long as I keep silent, my wife and children will be safe, and I will get money, fame, status. I think the worst outcome is nothing more than the destruction of me and this wall, and it is not a violation of the oath of the soldiers. It's a pity that now, even the worst ending is gone. Kiyobei Takagi looked at the soldiers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs around him, and they were extremely indifferent.
"Who would dare to threaten the relatives of a colonel?" Zhang Su frowned.
“…… The most powerful man in the Eastern Kingdom. Kiyobei Takagi said.
Prime Minister? Zhang Su's heart moved.
Clues inevitably converge to Hikoshiro Nagai, the prime minister of Dongming who is like a magician, constantly manipulating people's hearts and politics.
But what he meant seemed to point to ...... Edith. Zhang Su didn't understand, but Takagi Kiyobei didn't say either.
Not to mention it now, he still has a glimmer of life, if he names him in public, Takagi Kiyobei will die.
"It's time to go." The agent of the Ministry of Internal Affairs said coldly.
"-Don't be afraid, Zhang Su, go down gloriously, you are not like me, you have no weakness, you don't have to be afraid! Go and fight against the traitors who are haunting Dongming Kingdom! Kiyobei Takagi was escorted into an armored vehicle by the soldiers.
The convoy rumbled away, as if fleeing Zhang Su.
Zhang Su had met many prisoners, but Colonel Takagi Kiyobei was very special, the other party was once the supreme commander of the Dongzhou Wall, but now he had to be imprisoned, and he was isolated and examined for at least 1 year until all the secrets and values were unearthed.
The rain is heavier.
Zhang Su watched the convoy leave, and he suspected that he would never see Takagi Kiyobei in the future, just like after Li Yixin took Z to New Tokyo, Z suddenly died.
Under the rain, he returned to the corridor of the wall of Dongzhou, where there were dark walls on all sides, and only the turquoise emergency lights shone slightly.
"~" Lian Wu waited for Zhang Su at the Yongdaokou, took out a tissue from his pocket, and wiped Zhang Su's wet hair.
"I'm wondering if this wall will suddenly collapse and squash us." Zhang Su took Lianwu back.
“!” Lian Wu hammered Zhang Su's abdominal muscles with her fist to prevent him from saying strange things.
"Don't worry, I'll also carry the stone and send Miss Lianwu out at that time." Zhang Su said.
Lianwu thinks it makes sense.
She walked behind in small steps, although her vision was completely blocked by Zhang Su's figure, she felt safe to follow Zhang Su.
Zhang Su took the elevator to the wall, and the commander's office now belonged to him.
The agents had cleared Kiyobei Takagi's personal belongings, and they appeared exceptionally clean.
The orderly also put new bedding and daily necessities in the office to give it a new look.
Zhang Su and Lianwu discussed what to do next.
"We need to go back to the Anxin Hospital." Zhang Su said.
~" Lianwu also has to go back to the Anxin Hospital.
There was no extra chair, so she sat on Zhang Su's lap.
"But it's going to be tomorrow." Zhang Su turned on his mobile phone and saw that Edith had made an appointment for communication at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, presumably to arrange the next stage of work.
“!” Lianwu shook her head.
"It's okay, I don't want to be a commander in the wall of Dongzhou." Zhang Su made up his mind to go back.
No matter what Edith said, he had to go back to the hospital.
It is 20 miles from the wall of Dongzhou to Mt. Momiji, and another 100 miles from Mt. Momijiyama to the Gate of Hell itself.
At intervals there is an army of demons of Illini's size.
Although the outpost has been established, it will take at least 3 or 4 months to push it under the gates of hell, which is terrifying to think about.
Zhang Su can't spend all his time here, the children are still waiting for him to go back.
~" Lianwu seemed to be very happy, she picked up her mobile phone to take a selfie with her and Zhang Su, as a souvenir, Zhang Su could smell the fragrance of Lianwu's hair.
"Does Miss Lianwu know? Lotus mist is actually a fruit. Zhang Su said.
“?” Lianwu never knew.
Zhang Su found a picture for Lianwu.
"Actually, Lianwu is a red fruit that lives in the tropics, with red peel and white flesh, close to apples." He said.
“!” Lianwu didn't understand.
"I've eaten it, the lotus mist is sour, sweet, and astringent." Zhang Su said.
~" Lianwu is very happy that there is a fruit with the same name as herself.
It seems that she can also learn from the Fruit Lotus Mist. Lian Wu thought.
The sour one is small-minded, and the sweet one is smiling.
But astringent...... What to do?
Uh-huh! By the way, what is astringent is the taste of tea.
Lian Wu walked away to make tea.
Zhang Su occasionally replied to the questions of his soldiers and gave instructions on the follow-up defense work of the Dongzhou Wall.
Then she handed Zhang Su a cup of tea, and they stood by the window, drinking tea and resting.
The rain had stopped, but the air was still damp, and in the evening, the clouds were a mixture of blood red and deep orange, and they looked particularly beautiful.
They watched as the color of the sunset faded, transforming into a cold purple, and finally a dense pitch black, dotted with bright stars.
Zhang Su and Lian Wu have different contemplations.
Zhang Su was half thinking about the future of mankind, and half thinking about Miss Lianwu beside him.
Lian Wu was half thinking about the disposal of the wall of Dongzhou, and half was thinking about Mr. Zhang Su beside him.
“~!” Lian Wu asked Zhang Su what her plans were, and her hand quickly changed into different gestures.
"It seems that I still have to go to Mr. Xiuyuki, Anxinin. After all, the construction of the wall of Dongzhou is related to him. Zhang Su said.
“!” Lian Wu thought of her father.
"Your father probably doesn't want the situation of Dongzhou Wall to be poked out, because it will cause the stock price of Dongzhou Industry to collapse." Zhang Su groaned.
"~" Lian Wu felt that it didn't matter.
"I can probably sort out a chain like this: in 2050, there will be a major deficit during the construction of Dongzhou Wall, and the funds will be transferred to do other things. Perhaps it was because there were people in the upper echelons who were secretly colluding with the demons, hoping to corrupt these defenses as much as possible to facilitate the demon's invasion. Zhang Su said.
“!” Lian Wu nodded, there are too many bad guys.
"In 2054, Hikoshiro Nagai became prime minister and discovered the problem of the wall of Dongzhou, but he could not make it public, because Dongzhou Industrial Company was involved in the employment of 2 million Dongming people. Such a scandal will inevitably lead to the intervention of the Human Defense Project, and Edith will dismember Dongzhou Industry, and then the unemployment rate will not be tenable. Zhang Su reasoned.
“!” Lianwu felt that it made sense.
Dongzhou Industrial Co., Ltd. is an industrial giant invested and supported by the Anxin family, and it has risen rapidly after the restoration of Dongming, so much so that it has challenged the status of the old consortium.
After contracting the "Dongzhou Wall" permanent project, Dongzhou Industry is even more prestigious, and it has also made the Lianwu family a huge wealth.
If such an industrial giant collapses, it will be a heavy blow to the economy of Dongming, and the economic process that is currently recovering will also be interrupted.
“……!” Lianwu spreads his hands, so what should I do?
"It doesn't matter, the relationship with us is limited, the big people are not worried, what are we worried about? As long as Miss Lianwu didn't buy Dongzhou Industrial's stock, it would be fine. Zhang Su said.
~" Lianwu was very happy, she had a heavy position in the stocks of the old chaebol.
In fact, there is no need for Zhang Su to remind him, and Lianwu will not buy his own family's stocks.
If the Anxin family is developed, then Lianwu would have earned it, and he would have no worries about food and clothing by eating the dividends of Dongzhou Industry.
If Anxin Yuan and Dongzhou Industry are unlucky, and the old chaebol is prosperous, Lianwu can make a lot of money on stocks.
"That's fine, but I'm afraid Mr. Xiuyuki is going to suffer heavily. Miss Lianwu, this means that the Anxinin family may become debt-ridden. Zhang Su reminded.
~"Lotus mist doesn't matter.
Anyway, Dad has been a rich man all his life, and it is not bad to experience the life of a poor person.
And the explosion in peacetime is still an economic problem. If the wall of Dongzhou collapses during the war, Dad will definitely be killed.
"Hmm...... I hope that Mr. Xiuyuki will be stronger and face the loss. In that case, I'm going to issue a verdict against Miss Lianwu as well. Zhang Su nodded.
“?” Lian Wu was afraid.
[Echigo Local Witch Supervisor Zhang Su's sentencing order for Anxin Temple Hasuri-kiri:
Anxin Yuan Lianwu was found guilty of unleashing excessive magic on ordinary people. Commutation of sentence as appropriate, taking into account the circumstances of self-defense.
The defendant, Lianwu, was sentenced to serve one year's imprisonment in the Anxin Temple, suspended for one year, during which he was required to obey Zhang Su's order to work as a shrine maiden in the Anxin Yuan.
Date of issue: May 8]
“!” Lian Wu breathed a sigh of relief and poked Zhang Su's abdominal muscles.
This is the legal provision, Lianwu should be with Zhang Su. She felt amazing!
It's really okay to stay in Ansanji. However, Lianwu hopes that Zhang Su will go to New Tokyo in the future and meet with Anxin Yuan Xiuyuki in person to find out his father's mental journey.
Lianwu believes that her father is also in some trouble.
"Okay, when we have the chance, we'll go to New Tokyo and meet Mr. Hideyuki!" Zhang Su nodded vigorously.
So, Lian Wu did not hesitate to send all the incriminating evidence taken on her mobile phone to Zhang Su.
Zhang Su sent all this evidence to Edith, and the quality of the Dongzhou Wall was revealed.
Kiyobei Takagi, who is in charge of covering up, will pay the price, this scandal will ruin the industry of Dongzhou, the economy of Dongming will be hit hard, and Hikoshiro Nagai will face a difficult problem.
And Mihashi Yukai made a big fuss about the victory of the extramural investigation, and with the help of Zhang Su, he achieved political achievements and fame, and he could challenge Hikoshiro Nagai's position as prime minister.
Things changed one by one, the situation was unpredictable, and Zhang Su subconsciously held hands with Lianwu.
“?” Lian Wu shook Zhang Su's hand, not knowing what he was going to do.
Zhang Su came back to his senses, but he felt very peculiar.
Now that she can hold hands with Miss Lianwu, she won't withdraw her hand, so she keeps letting Zhang Su pinch Miss Lianwu's little hand......
If Zhang Su's existence gave many people strength, then the existence of Lianwu also inspired Zhang Su.
At least with the gentle company of Lianwu, Zhang Su felt very confident that he was enough to complete this road.
