Chapter 235: Confucius Once Said
"Here we go again... I really don't know why you are so entangled in this problem?"
Obviously, Messiah asked this question to Kagemaru more than once, but the profound meaning in it had never occurred to Kagemaru.
Strictly speaking, Kagemaru is just an old man who wants to get a second life because he is afraid of death after suffering from many years of illness. Many of the things he promised the Messiah in the past are actually just falsehoods and coercion. They belong to the "people say" I didn’t listen carefully to the category of “human talk, ghost talk in front of ghosts”.
Therefore, he has never been able to figure out why the Messiah is so entangled with the question of "how to destroy a country." But today the Messiah asked again, and Kagemaru found that he couldn't answer it at all - in the past, Kagemaru relied on his status advantage to suppress the Messiah's questions.
It's just that he can't answer now: "I have never planned to destroy any country - you have to know that countries in modern society have a long history..."
"Oh, I ask you this question not because I want you to popularize modern history for me." When Messiah heard the first sentence Kagemaru said, he knew that the other party had not really thought about it seriously, so So I chose to give it up: "Okay, I originally wanted to give you one last chance, but it seems... you don't have this value."
"What on earth do you mean!" Messiah's speech that lacked any logic made Kagemaru throw away the last trace of rationality. "What I want is that you can save me - and I know very well about coming back from 'that place' You must have a solution now—not some random philosophical answer! Can’t I wait until I get younger to think about this kind of thing?”
"..." Messiah was silent for a while, and then an aria-like voice came again: "Unfortunately, I have a way, but I don't want to use it on you."
"you……"
Messiah: "Since you don't want to answer the previous question, let me change it to another one: My dear former chairman Kagemaru, do you still remember how much money you have spent on the sanatorium on Summer Island? For... condolences Take your life?"
Kagemaru couldn't even answer this question for a while - because the figure was too terrifying, whether it was the cost of the health care warehouse or various other life-threatening materials. If ordinary people saw the figures on the bill, they would probably mistakenly think that Kagemaru had robbed the treasury of District 11 to get so much money.
Seeing that Kagemaru had no way to answer, Messiah spoke for him: "You can't answer, right? It's actually very simple, you don't dare to think about that number - Tianchi Imaging Club, the leading group in the entertainment industry in District 11, Originally, it was considered a big business. I don’t know how many popular idols that are unattainable in the eyes of young people can be determined by your words. But because of your actions, the current Tiandi Imaging Club has already been heavily in debt and is on the verge of collapse. ”
Obviously Kagemaru himself knew that what Messiah said was true, but he still defended: "The fundamental reason why these problems you mentioned will arise is because I am old and can no longer manage the world. Society... As long as I can regain my youth, as long as I can..."
"Silly idea." Messiah didn't give Kagemaru a chance. "Will things get better if you become younger and come back to take charge of the overall situation? My dear Chairman Kagemaru...you think too highly of yourself. You know I wonder if your power and prestige in the group have been corroded during the time when you were busy looking for the three magic demons to restore your youth? How many of the middle and senior management who have not seen you for many years still listen to you? If so, can you really name it?”
Kagemaru suddenly found that he was even more helpless on this issue than before: "I..."
"Furthermore, you hid it from everyone in the group to extract more resources for you to regain your youth. Do you really think that no one else knows about these things? Don't really treat others as fools. Now within the group, from top management to From superstars to grassroots trainees and trainee reporters, they are all secretly calling you... madman." At this time, Messiah's tone has changed from the previous aria to a heroic march, "Even if you really regain your youth, you have no power. For protection, what awaits you is not a wave of the flag to regroup, but a crazy scientist who bundles you into a laboratory for slice research. "
Kagemaru opened his mouth, wanting to forcefully open the situation with the power of the "Three Phantom Demons", but he soon gave up this idea - because he himself didn't believe it, what he encountered in the duel today, It made him understand that the power of the "Three Phantom Demons" was beyond his control.
Everything, just like what Messiah said before - he thinks too highly of himself.
The Messiah's voice soon followed: "But I am different from you. I expected from the beginning that you would fail so disgracefully today, so I was already prepared beforehand - —Not long after, when your soul dissipates, I will become the new chairman of Tiandi Imaging Club.”
Kagemaru was shocked: "New Chairman? Wait, you can't do this! You can't do it either! I know the situation of my group best. Maybe I won't be able to return to the core of the entire group when I go back, but don't even think about it. Get Tiandi Image Club from those guys!”
"If you want to take over a normal kingdom, you need to have a legitimate reason, but if you want to take over a ruin, the procedure is much simpler - so the first step I took before was to turn your 'Heaven and Earth Image Society' into a 'ruin'." Messiah said: "So, now we are back to the question at the beginning: how to destroy a country?"
Yingwan: "..."
"Obviously, when it comes to stealing a country, it is not your specialty." Messiah in the distance made a gentleman's salute to the air, and then changed the tone from march to Chinese classical music: "Zi once said: 'To govern a country, it is enough to have enough food, enough soldiers and the trust of the people.' Among them, 'the trust of the people' is the most important. And your Heaven and Earth Image Society, Chairman Yingwan, is the one that has lost trust. 'country'. Let me tell you the truth, stealing such a 'country' is so simple that I don't even bother to think of any strategy: first, indirectly reveal your idea of saving yourself at all costs, so that your 'citizens' lack hope and feel that the group is doomed; then I stand up and be their hope. With your previous fanatical pursuit of longevity and immortality, I don't even need to pretend. "
"You..." At this time, Yingwan's spirit began to become dimmer and dimmer-this is a sign of dissipation. After all, the spirit is an information body. If it loses material support and loses all motivation to continue to stay in this world, it will dissipate. This is also one of the reasons why duel elves often need cards to descend in this world.
But now another problem has arisen: Although Messiah can really easily grasp the real power of Tiandi Image Society if he does this, it is just as he said before. Tiandi Image Society is now a mess with internal and external troubles and all five poisons. What is he going to use this thing for? Is it to make things difficult for himself?
However, Yingwan no longer had time to satisfy his last bit of curiosity - the world in front of him began to become more and more blurred, and finally, Chairman Yingwan lost the last bit of consciousness...
