Chapter 346 The Invisible Death Knell
The venue of the ceremony is Bell Oni Town.
It is located on the long and narrow beach between Anjiu City and Shangjing. It has always been a quiet 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 security work of the entire Zhonggui Town, including Xisheng Defense Company and Intercontinental Joint Special Service Company, as well as a capable and professional special force, code-named "Thirty-seven". , also known as the 37th Army.
This is the strongest formation money can buy.
Under their protection, Ms. Noriko Honma set off from Xisheng Shrine at a constant speed on her ship "Hanazuru" and arrived at Zhonggui Town at a safe speed. Life and health support facilities have been prepared on the beach for Honma Noriko used.
She has lived in a sterile room and under the highest standard of medical monitoring for a long time. Her 135-year-old fragile body cannot withstand any impact, and the slightest disturbance may kill her.
Since her body could not afford neurosurgery, she missed the opportunity to transcribe and upload her consciousness, so she could only stay in the remnant body, relying on spices, medical magic and intelligent means of survival, trying her best to prolong her life day after day.
Now, she doesn't have to hold on like this anymore.
Through the ritual of the ancient witch, either ascend to become a new witch, or die from the epidemic.
At 6 o'clock in the morning on the winter solstice, Ye Zi arrived in Zhonggui Town in another shuttle of hers. 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 building technology, allowing Xi Sheng's sons and daughters watched the ceremony here.
Most people will be there, it's a family gathering that hasn't been seen in a long time.
"Good morning, Aunt Yezi, why did you come in a combat shuttle?" Shenbayashi Kuro was smoking on the roof, and saw that Yezi's shuttle was equipped with a floating cannon pod.
"It's a little scary to come to such a wilderness." Even Ye Zi didn't believe what she said.
Six layers of defense were deployed around, covered by countless intelligent self-aiming artillery, mines and anti-aircraft artillery arrays. A main force of surface ships composed of missile ships was moored 15 nautical miles away and would arrive at any time.
She came with a weapon to protect herself.
Ye Zi didn't know what would happen, Xu Yang and Falosa refused to disclose any information.
"Haha..." Shenlin Jiulang smiled, he was waiting here for his mother, Lin Ximei, "Master Noriko Honma's ceremony, this scene is really... the biggest I have ever seen in my life."
"Only that ancient witch came alone." Ye Zi murmured, looking at the temporary hut on the beach.
She knew that Farosha was there, alone, with nothing but a few belongings, such as a water bottle and a satchel, and she wrote down the ritual utensils into a list for the Xisheng Group to purchase in a unified manner.
No help, no weapon. Yanagawa Fumihiko was on the scene to supervise, and he could let the sniper execute the order at any time to execute Farosha.
"They said," said Kamibayashi Kuro, "once the ceremony is completed, Lord Noriko Honma will have an extremely long lifespan."
"Yes, Commander Xisheng enjoys endless prosperity." Ye Zi looked blankly in the direction of her mother, "She has many great plans to carry out."
"Ah, the Xisheng mission plan." Shenbayashi Jiulang heard about it, "Reevaluate the value system of the Eastern Hemisphere."
Xisheng's mission.
Ye Zi's heart suddenly jumped out of this term.
Once the mother was disheartened, but as her hope of extending her life was getting closer, she released her ideas and plans in her later years and shared them with her children at family meetings.
Xisheng's mission is to achieve the highest degree of monopoly, destroy all other companies' trademarks, provide everyone with everything from birth to death, prohibit them from breeding, and let this generation of human beings die with infinite care to avoid rebellion.
Then a very small number of people are left, that is, the sons and daughters of Xisheng, to enjoy the resources on a global scale.
Not just to conquer everything, but to control everything.
"Only a mother can accomplish such a mission." Ye Zi admits, "No one else can."
"Yes, when the time comes, we will be able to measure the needs and creativity of all people, which will be tens of millions of times more orderly than it is now, predict and design every element in the world, and measure economic and social laws with our own hands... I don't think there is anything better than that It's gone."
"There is also the issuance of Xisheng banknotes." Ye Zi sighed, "...Mom must have told you that the bottom line is to abolish all cash flows, ban gold, close civilian Internet connections, and confiscate all capital systems of everyone and companies. , Destroy, rebuild, harvest every penny of everyone's money, everyone is Xisheng people. People shouldn't have such a mess of thoughts."
"I really can't wait." Kuro Kanbayashi was a little excited, "Only Noriko Honma has the ability to implement these great ideas and integrate every company under the banner of Xisheng."
"That's why I'm here." Ye Zi showed a sad smile, "I provided such a plan to my mother, so that she can live to carry out her great idea."
The sky is cloudy, and the morning sun seems to be covered with a layer of veil, which is hard to see clearly.
More and more shuttles arrived, carrying Xisheng's sons and daughters. As the power of the family mistress grew, they gained higher and higher status, because they were particularly concerned about Noriko Honma's safety.
The leaves hide like ghosts on the edge of the terrace, silently watching how people come and go.
She saw Yuan Chaozong, the president of Xisheng Defense Company, and Qingliu Jiro, the chairman of Xisheng Industrial Group. These two men provided military and industrial production capacity for Xisheng's expansion, and they were the third and fourth generation members of the family respectively. , working overseas most of the time.
They had obviously agreed in advance, and now they arrived at the scene one after another. They quickly bowed their heads and greeted each other, exchanged glances tacitly, and then left the terrace under the escort of the security personnel, walking briskly, not wanting to be discovered by others.
Kana Kurokawa, the person in charge of Xisheng Investment Department, arrived, followed by Shenlin Ximei from Xisheng Real Estate. They arrived two hours before the ceremony. Shenbayashi Kuro saw his mother and quickly went up to greet her.
"It's been a long time since Xisheng's sons and daughters came together." Kurokawa Kana looked at Ye Zi in the corner, "It's all thanks to you."
"Yes, the meetings are usually online, but now everyone can see each other's real bodies, but there is a sense of strangeness." Ye Zi smiled.
"You look really bad." Kurokawa Kana turned and walked away.
Her costume was also dark, and she was escorted by a number of mechanical soldiers. They used scanners to check Leaf repeatedly, causing the miniature panel in front of her to pop up warnings, but Leaf didn't take it seriously.
A gyroplane marked Xisheng arrives.
"Sister Ye Zi!" Honma Shaojun jumped off it, left the butler's embrace, ran happily to Kojima Ye Zi, and greeted her with a smile.
Shaojun is the last child of Noriko Honma, the youngest, only 13 years old, from the egg frozen by Noriko Honma in the early years, and is the only boy named "Honma".
When Ye Zi ran away from home, Shaojun was just an illiterate idiot, but now he looks very elegant and decent, wearing a well-tailored suit.
"Young Master..." Ye Zi squatted down to caress 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 turned him towards the wet beach covered by the morning sun.
"The ceremony is about to begin." Shaojun pointed curiously.
That's how Farosa was, guarded by so many soldiers, watched closely by Xisheng's sons and daughters.
The leaves hold their breath.
Farosa is going to perform the ritual on Noriko Honma, and she is alone, in full view.
This is why Leaf is so eager for Farosa to fulfill her promise normally and safely, and complete the ceremony as usual, because if Farosa has the slightest step beyond the rules, she will be killed, destroyed, and annihilated at the atomic level.
Not only her, Ye Zi will also be executed.
Ye Zi looked at the high place of the building, where there were a number of remodeled snipers on standby, filling the guns with rare anti-magic bullets, once they hit the witch, they would immediately block the magic circuit, making them no different from ordinary people.
On the outskirts of the village stood the reality manipulator hired by the mother, a woman named Nilu, who possessed three magic powers at the same time. With her, no external force can invade, and it is absolutely impossible to threaten the ceremony on the beach.
There are so many cameras and drones that can form a front of electronic equipment. They float in the air, sweep and lock every detail of the venue, and broadcast it to the villa for supervision by Xisheng's sons and daughters.
"Tomorrow, no, the whole world will change today." Leaf whispered.
"Do you know what will happen? Sister?" Shaojun asked.
"I don't know, that's why I look so worried." Leaf sighed.
Faroza closed her heart and refused to reveal anything.
What Ye Zi had to do was to bring Du Qianqian to the scene, to be precise, to bring Du Qianqian into a kitten to the beach. Ye Zi didn't know what it was for, but she was told it had to be so.
She knew she too had become a puppet in Faroza's plan, but there was nothing she could do.
Because it matters.
"Young Master, let's go play." Ye Zi put Shaojun on the ground and threw him downstairs, letting the servants surround him to go to other more luxurious and interesting places in the village.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Zi also left the terrace.
At 7:10 in the morning, she came to the outskirts of Zhonggui Town, when a witch suddenly appeared in front of her, put down a cat, and then disappeared in place.
"Mimi." Yin gradually raised his head and let out a brisk meow to Ye Zi.
Is this the cat that Du Qianqian turned into? Ye Zi secretly thought. What did Faroza want her to do?
Then, as long as the cat is brought to the scene, part of the task is completed. Ye Zi picked up Yin Gradient, and walked towards the direction of Zhonggui Town. She wanted to take it across the street frankly and calmly.
"The front is a no-entry zone." The soldiers of the 37th Army blocked the way with their heavy sniper rifles in their hands.
"I am Kojima Yoko."
"I know who you are."
"Send this cat to the scene." Ye Zi said, "Help it to the witch herself, don't give it to anyone."
"We will report it." The soldier took a photo of the cat and uploaded it to Fumihiko Yanagawa.
"That's an important person, and he was sent to the beach respectfully." Fumihiko Yanagawa had already received the news via satellite phone yesterday that the liar Meka would be sent at this point.
The soldier took the cute kitten to the beach.
"You wait here." Another soldier said to Ye Zi.
"Okay." Ye Zi remained calm.
I will deliver it. Leaf thought to herself.
Before long, she turned to see two soldiers in black riot armor with main battle rifles, checking her with scanners, and then more soldiers appeared from all directions, as if they, too, had magical powers.
They came for the leaves.
"Follow us." An armored member of the 37th Legion appeared and roughly pushed Ye Zi, "Go over there, squat down!"
"No—don't!" Ye Zi stepped back in horror, "Why?"
"Be quiet—" Fumihiko Yanagawa turned around, and he rushed forward, grabbing Ye Zi's shoulders desperately, "The cat you sent to the beach was an ordinary cat. Where did you hide Meika?"
"Stay away from her!" Qian Juanyin appeared from the shadows, and after a few shots fired, she was beaten into a sieve.
"Thousands of Burial Sounds——" Ye Zi turned her head and saw that the female ninja had been shot to death. A soldier grabbed Ye Zi's arm and injected an anesthetic injection into her hand.
Ye Zi opened his eyes wide, spinning around.
