Under the guidance of Tokugawa Hidemitsu, Chiba Michiko arrived at a bamboo and wooden loft in the Fusang Embassy that was full of Fusang style.
When she walked in, Li Gong's adopted son, who was sitting on the tatami, immediately stood up. "Miss Chiba, you're here!"
"I just got some domestic fruits. Let's have a taste!"
Fu Sang's agricultural products had always been treasures that were sold all over the world.
It was also Fu Sang's main export product.
What Li Gong's adopted son took out was a luxury product from Japan — honeydew melons from Osaka.
This was very precious.
One of them could fetch a high price of a few thousand RMB in the Beizhou market!
Michiko tried a piece, and her eyes lit up. "It's delicious!"
She looked at Li Gong's godson and asked, "Your Highness, do you still have this kind of fruit here?"
"I want to give two to a lord!"
The godson of Li Gong replied with a smile, "Of course!"
She turned to her adoptive mother, Qiu Ri Ju, and said, "Please prepare two of the best Osaka melons for me!"
"Yes!" The middle-aged woman in traditional Fusang clothing immediately bowed and accepted the order.
Michiko immediately became happy. "Thank you, Your Highness!"
"You're welcome!" Li Gong's adopted son smiled even more happily.
"By the way!" While eating the honeydew melon, Michiko asked, "I heard that Your Highness is looking for me?"
Li Gong's adopted son nodded, "Yes... there are some things that Fusang and I need to ask Miss Chiba!"
As she spoke, she solemnly faced Michiko, placed her hands on both sides, and bowed deeply. It was the standard Fusang etiquette.
"Miss Chiba, please agree!"
The officials of the Fusang Embassy who were kneeling on both sides also bowed deeply. "Miss Chiba, please agree!"
Seeing this, Chiba Michiko was a little flustered. She quickly helped Li Gong up. "Your Highness … You … I …"
She stammered, "What is it?"
Li Gong's foster son took a deep breath as he gazed at the young woman before him, and then he said, "Miss Chiba, do you know that Japan has reached a critical juncture of life and death!?"
"Ah!" Michiko was at a loss.
Wasn't Fusang doing fine?
How did it reach the critical juncture of life and death?
Furthermore, even if the sky collapsed, Great Xia would be there to hold it up.
What was going on?
Li Gong's adopted son looked at an official on the left and said, "Nijo-kun, please tell Miss Chiba about the predicament our country is facing now!"
"Hi!" The officer walked out on his knees and knelt in the middle of the attic. Then, he placed his hands on both sides in front of a marked white line and bowed deeply. "Miss Chiba, I'm Fujō Dōyasu, who's in charge of transcendent being affairs in the Fusang Garrison!"
"Today, I have the honor to meet you. It is my honor!"
Chiba Michiko looked at him foolishly. "Hello, Nijo-kun!"
This was a high-ranking official.
She thought in her heart.
… …
It was rare for Ling Ping'an to turn on the television in the room.
Almost all the news channels on TV were discussing the new thing called Legend of Nightmare.
It was different from the heated discussions on the internet.
Most of the commentators on TV were very strict and conservative.
Just like the retired director surnamed Zhang.
"What virtual reality technology is there?"
"I reckon that it might be an improvement on virtual projection technology. At most, it's pseudo-virtual reality!"
"As for what superpower?" He laughed. "I've worked in the Federal Empire's National Defense Military Science and Technology Commission for decades, but I've never heard of it!"
"Everyone must believe in science!" Director Zhang said meaningfully.
When Ling Ping'an heard this, he also deeply agreed.
Nowadays, many people would do anything to attract attention on the internet.
A few years ago, some unscrupulous movie producers had hyped up something like 'Ghost Movie Reality Record', using ghosts as a cover to trick people into going to the cinema.
Ling Ping'an excitedly bought the tickets, but when he entered the cinema, he almost fell asleep.
That was it?
Brother might as well go watch old ghost movies!
Ever since then, Ling Ping'an had become wary of the mysterious things on the internet.
Who knew if the person on the other end of the internet who was describing ghosts, demons, and immortals was after the money in his pocket or was he trying to use the popularity to do something unspeakable?
While listening to the comments, a piece of news was suddenly broadcast on TV.
"Temporary news broadcast: This station's news: The Federal Empire's Economic Crime Investigation Bureau announced today that they have cracked a major insider trading case!"
"The Wang family, who controls the Jiyang Development Group, has been found guilty of more than ten felonies such as falsifying data, manipulating stock prices, and evading taxes for many years!"
"At present, the Economic Crime Investigation Bureau has arrested and summoned hundreds of key people suspected of this case!"
On the TV screen, a familiar scene appeared.
It was the scene he saw downstairs.
A few young people were escorted into the police car by the police.
"So they're from the Jiyang Development Group!" Ling Ping'an was relieved.
"I didn't expect such a big group to do such a thing!" He shook his head.
Jiyang Development Group was one of the top 500 listed companies in the Federal Empire.
It was said that their assets were spread all over the country and they were even widely involved in the layout of the world's industries.
In Jiangcheng City, there was a landmark building: Jiyang Building, which was the property of this group.
Who would have thought that such a giant would secretly engage in insider trading and even evade taxes?
"These rich people... are really..." Ling Ping'an sighed.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Knock, knock.
Ling Ping'an stood up and walked over to open the door.
It was that Xinluo girl. Her name seemed to be Yin Mingxiu?
"Miss Yin..." Ling Ping'an looked at her, "Please come in!"
Yin Mingxiu seemed to be a little nervous. Her little hands grabbed her dress, a little like a little friend who had done something wrong when she was young and was afraid of being discovered by her parents.
"What happened?" Ling Ping'an couldn't help but ask.
… …
"Miss Chiba, you should know about the feathered fox, right?" Nijō Dōyasu asked.
Chiba Michiko nodded.
Of course she knew about the feathered fox.
She was the victim of the feathered fox's rebellion.
She had heard from her adoptive parents that they had found her in the ruins of Osaka.
A baby girl wrapped in white swaddling clothes.
The Chiba couple couldn't have children, so they adopted her and raised her as their daughter. In the end, they brought her to this land as a refugee and settled her in Jiangcheng City.
"Then do you know..." Nijō Dōyasu asked, "Why did the feathered fox set off the night of a hundred ghosts in the Hanshin area?"
"What is the purpose of his actions?"
Chiba Michiko asked in a silly manner, "What is his purpose?"
Nijō Dōyasu said, "He wants to awaken the true demon king!"
He took a deep breath and said with some fear, "The Great Bright God of Feng Nation!"
"His Highness Taikaku!"
Even if he was an enemy and an enemy that could overthrow Fusang.
Nijō Dōyasu still couldn't help but use honorifics.
"His Highness Taikaku?!" Chiba Michiko didn't understand, "The Great Bright God of Feng Nation? Who is that? "
