The general slammed his fist on the alloy tabletop, his knuckles turning white, his jaw clenched.
"They're all just watching the show! They're all just watching the show!!"
"General," an aide asked anxiously, "what should we do now?"
The general closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and his chest heaved violently.
When he opened his eyes again, those eyes, weathered by the smoke of war, were filled with unprecedented frustration and embarrassment.
He spoke each word slowly and deliberately, almost squeezing the command out from between his teeth:
"Immediately prepare for the highest-level foreign affairs reception!"
"Give me the utmost respect."
"Let's go and welcome the 'celestial being'! Let's offer him Japan's highest respect!"
The staff officer paused for a moment, then understood the general's unspoken message: surrender!
The general's heart was in turmoil.
He knew that if Lu Mingfei's combat strength was indeed as shown in yesterday's video, then...
His words became law, instantly clearing away the thick clouds stretching for hundreds of kilometers.
Then.
Any form of resistance is futile, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot; it only increases casualties!
Rather than becoming a martyr who overestimates his abilities...
Instead of being pragmatic, we should take the initiative and show our sincerity!
He even thought further ahead.
If... this "celestial being" were to one day grace Moscow with his presence, or perhaps visit Washington...
A cold, vengeful thrill flashed across the general's eyes.
By the time……
Japan is not incapable of offering a "specially made" cruise missile as a courtesy!
He would like to see...
What a sight to behold on the faces of those two self-proclaimed powerful sides!
Chapter 133 Erii's Thoughts
Genji Heavy Industries, a certain room.
Round 1! Fight!
Haohmaru charged forward with overwhelming force, swinging his sword, "Heavy Sword Slash!" A massive red blade of light tore through the screen.
Yagyu Jubei neither dodged nor evaded, but instead blocked with a crisp "Clang!" accompanied by a sparking effect, he steadily parried the attack.
Haohmaru took a step back and quickly formed a hand gesture, "Tenha Seishin Slash".
The screen shook as a massive cyan tornado swept him forward, its special effects obscuring the sky.
Jubei had sharp eyes and accurately grasped the opportunity.
"Yagyu Mind's Eye Blade!" A slender, crescent-shaped, azure sword aura suddenly pierced through the eye of the storm!
Haohmaru cried out in pain, the tornado was forcibly interrupted, he was stunned and stopped, and his health bar dropped by a quarter.
Haohmaru, barely managing to stagger, tried to press down again.
"An opening!" Jubei spotted it instantly and activated "Zekyou".
His figure transformed into a series of rapidly advancing blue afterimages, "Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" His continuous slashes were like a storm of pear blossoms, and Haohmaru's health bar plummeted rapidly!
"The final blow!" Jubei finished his attack the instant his Super Special Move Gauge was full!
"Secret Technique: Crescent Moon of Dreams!" He roared, the screen went dark, and two huge, intersecting silver-white moonlight slashes erupted from in front of him, completely engulfing Haohmaru!
A pop-up window displays the word "KO!" indicating victory.
Haohmaru fell backward, his sword spinning and flying out of his hand.
Jubei slowly sheathed his sword, with the flickering lights of the dojo and Haohmaru's health bar reduced to zero behind him.
The camera zooms in on his calm profile, with the Japanese phrase "Complete Victory!" displayed in the center of the screen.
Victory music began.
……
Genji put down the controller, turned to look at the girl beside him, and asked softly, "Eri, is something on your mind?"
Samurai Shodown II is an old game, and it's also the one that Genjiro and Erii play most often.
This old game doesn't have many special effects, but the action is very well done. Whether it's attacking or blocking, it feels like every punch is landing. It's a classic fighting game.
Erii had never been his match in this game, but he realized it today.
Erii during the battle.
Distracted!
In fact, not only Erii, but he himself also lost focus during the battle.
That's why he found it strange.
Erii was surprisingly not upset that he was daydreaming.
Because Erii has always been sensitive about this matter, when they first played a battle game together, Erii quietly put down the controller and left because Erii was letting her win.
After that, he went through several days without playing any matches.
So after that, he never held back in his battles against Erii.
The girl dressed in a red and white shrine maiden outfit stared blankly at the KO screen, offering no response.
Genji thought for a moment, then calmly asked:
"Is it because of that 'celestial being'?"
Erii turned her head to look at Genjiro, but did not speak.
Yuan Zhisheng was somewhat irritated, not only because of the matter of "celestial being" Lu Mingfei, but also because his close sister was hiding something from him.
Erii has a naturally expressionless face, showing neither joy nor sorrow. No matter what she does, her face is almost always expressionless.
Even though playing games with Genjiro was her favorite thing to do, she rarely showed a smile.
However, after spending more time together, Genjiro could still sense Erii's emotional changes.
For example, when she's happy, her eyes become more expressive, and her gait changes.
At other times, there is not a trace of human light in his eyes.
At first glance, it looks like a human doll.
Looking into her eyes for too long can even make you feel a little scared.
But this situation suddenly changed a few days ago.
Since then, Erii seems to have been in a happy state.
Erii walks around her room every day, her expression unchanged, but Genji knows she's happy.
Then there was last night.
Because a man who claimed to be a "celestial being" suddenly appeared in China.
Lu Mingfei.
The heads of the eight families of the Snake Clan all gathered at the Genji Heavy Industries for a meeting.
On the way to the meeting.
Erii burst into the conference room and saw the celestial being Lu Mingfei on the screen.
Her eyes changed instantly, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on her lips.
Although this subtle change was very small, Genji still managed to capture it.
You know, even after spending so much time together, he's only seen Erii smile a handful of times.
Erii actually smiled the moment she saw the strange man.
After that, Erii sat upright in the conference room, ignoring the topics discussed by the other family heads, and stared blankly at Lu Mingfei on the projection screen.
How should I put it? Genji felt that Erii looked at Lu Mingfei as if she were looking at an acquaintance.
Although his expression remained unchanged, the anticipation and joy in his eyes were almost overflowing.
Erii quietly got up and left only after the meeting ended and the projector was turned off.
……
With a "whoosh!" the paper partition door was pushed open.
Genji turned his head and saw an old man standing in front of the door. His gaze swept quickly over Erii before finally settling on Genji.
"All the patriarchs have arrived, and everyone is waiting for you to start the meeting!" the old man said.
"What happened?" Yuan Zhisheng raised an eyebrow.
It's so early in the morning, what kind of meeting is this?
"Just received news that 'Celestial Immortal' is heading towards Tokyo, Japan, aboard a cruise missile with its warhead removed!"
Yuan Zhisheng jumped up, startled. "Is the information accurate?"
"It should be accurate."
"How dare they be so blatant!"
"The reason they came to Japan so openly is probably because of that thing."
Yuan Zhisheng frowned. "So, this celestial being has reached a cooperation agreement with the authorities?"
"I'm afraid so. And for this reason, neither Russia nor the United States wants to get involved; they just want to stay out of it and watch the show!" The old man's voice remained calm, as if he had seen countless storms like this before.
