"Ryūryō Ichigi was born in Kanagawa, his past was nothing special. He was only a normal high school student before he turned 17, but when he turned 18, he became a rising star in Japanese Kendo in just 4 years. After he married into the Ryūryō clan, he was hailed as the world's youngest Grandmaster Swordsman "Minar explained.
Lan Mu asked: "In other words, he obtained the ancient sword anomaly when he was 18?"
"Ah, that's not the case. According to our information, before he married into the Ryūryō clan, there was no record of him using the ancient sword "Minar explained.
Lan Mu flipped through the battle record, the last few pages were all records of his battles with the containment unit, Bloodlings, Ling Qi, and even Fang Moqi.
"Old Fang also lost to him …" Lan Mu wasn't surprised by this, Fang Moqi's constitution was only slightly above average, but not at an unimaginable level, much worse than the Bloodlings. The truly miraculous battle was when he managed to escape from the encirclement of 5 4th generation Bloodlings.
"What kind of characteristic is that? Every battle was short, there were no side effects at all "
Lan Mu temporarily ignored Ryūryō Ichigi and checked the other people's information.
"Round Fan wielder Sanjo Nagahide, a preacher selected by MPI when it was first established. His background is solid, his father is a business tycoon. He can borrow the power of the round fan to fly and block almost all attacks. The side effects are also very obvious, the round fan has warped his personality, changing his inner self into that of a woman, causing him to dress and act like a trap "
Lan Mu was stunned when he saw the battle record. "Sanjo once confessed to Ling Qi in battle … almost got hacked to death by Ling Qi …"
"An anomaly with a relatively high defense, only a sneak attack or a large area of effect attack would be able to take him down, right?"
Lan Mu didn't pay too much attention to a trap, and quickly moved on to the next wielder of the chain.
After reading through the description, Lan Mu immediately thought of the Soul Gatherer, but the side effect of the chain was also quite obvious, which was madness.
"Sanada Takeshi's body has already fused with the chains, and Sanada Takeshi has been modified so that he no longer has the physiological functions of a human. The chain pierced through Todd's stomach and was usually wrapped around his waist. It can automatically attack Sanada Tsuyoshi's enemies, and it can also be controlled by him. Anyone who touches the chain will fall as if they have lost their soul. "
Minar said, "Special Envoy, according to Captain Zeraki's information, it can be confirmed that there are hundreds of souls tied to Sanada Takeshi's chains, and they can't be freed. These dead souls have been harassing Takeshi Sanada day and night, causing him to lose his sanity and become crazed in killing. "
Lan Mu nodded. Souls of the dead contained too many negative emotions, which would cause too much disturbance to a living being. It was easy to distort one's personality and make them lose their sense of self.
Sanada Tsuyoshi had killed no less than a hundred people. He should be a complete madman now. His bloodlust had long become his second nature.
Minar said, "He's the cruelest of our enemies. Our men can't get close to him and can only attack him from afar. But when he and Gomez work together, our snipers can't do anything to them."
Lan Mu looked at Gomez's information again. He was a Japanese Caucasian. His parents were Belgian, and he was born in Japan.
Gomez was the first person who insisted on picking up a cigar before he died during the preacher selection test, so he became a preacher.
Ever since he came to Song Jiang City, he basically had a lit cigar in his mouth even when he slept. The cigar would burn forever, but it would never burn out.
Being shrouded in the thick smoke for a long time, even the thermal imaging would be affected. The hiding area was very large, and the smoke was very stubborn. It would take a long time for it to dissipate by the sea. Other than himself, only the souls of the dead would not be affected by the smoke.
Not only that, the smoke was also poisonous. It could even seep into the body through the skin and cause organ failure.
So, in the battle records, only Zeraki's ghouls were suitable to deal with him, but it would be troublesome if he teamed up with Sanada Tsuyoshi.
As for the side effects, Lan Mu shook his head. In theory, this was also a tool to destroy the world.
"The smoke can't be retracted, and the cigar will never go out, forever releasing poisonous smoke … How bold of Japan! They even dared to use such an anomaly. More than a thousand people in Song Jiang City have already died from the smoke, and they still don't want to stop? "Lan Mu felt like MPI had gone crazy.
Minar explained: "This anomaly was originally hidden in a satellite in outer space by the Japanese government. After establishing MPI, they shot down the satellite and activated this anomaly. Envoy, you'll soon be able to see the situation of Song Jiang City's seaside. That's the seaside with the worst air quality I've ever seen "
Lan Mu understood Japan's decision. In order for MPI to truly gain a foothold, they no longer cared about the possible future consequences of certain anomalies.
For now, Japan seemed to be able to bear the consequences of the smoke, and it also created a lot of resistance for Lan Bai She.
"If you don't stop, I'll stop it for you! Cigar that will never go out? Smoke? Seems like I found a good snack for Elise … "
Lan Mu was about to return the information to Minar, but he suddenly pointed at the last page and said.
"Envoy, there's still one more anomaly …"
"Ah, I almost forgot, MPI sent 5 of them here, and one more is at the bottom of the sea"
Lan Mu turned to the last page, the information on this anomaly was the most concise.
They didn't even know much about the Preachers, only that they had the ability to modify the environment. They once sent a team of anomaly squads to go down on a submarine, but they all disappeared together with the submarine. The last news they received was that they were still very far away from the target, but they were instantly eliminated.
Preliminary analysis showed that the target anomaly had an extremely wide range of effects.
Furthermore, the information also deduced the anomaly's characteristics from the side data.
[The Japanese seabed has risen by 350 meters, if it rises by another 1000 meters, it will form a landmass, causing the Japanese islands to be closely connected to the Eurasian plate]
[Furthermore, according to the latest measurements, the depth of the sea south of the Korean peninsula has also decreased. In other words, the new landmass is likely to seal off the Bohai Sea … The change in the continental shelf has caused a lot of earthquakes, but most of them occurred near the coast of East Asia. Since Japan is in the earthquake zone, it's not affected]
Closing the information, Lan Mu had a bad feeling.
"Minar, I heard that MPI has 10 Preachers, where are the other 5?"
Minar replied: "To be precise, there are 6 of them. Ryūryō Ichigi was recruited, so he's the 11th"
"In truth, the other 6 anomalies are nothing but strange and unscientific things. They're useless and do more harm than good, so they're all left at MPI's headquarters"
"Can we stop MPI's actions by controlling the government?" Lan Mu asked.
Minar shook his head: "Envoy, although the Japanese government has been infiltrated by our Blue and White Society, MPI is no longer just an existence that serves the government. After taking control of so many anomalies, they usually don't listen to the government's orders. They've vaguely become a government equivalent to the government, an organization that protects the 'country'. The difference between them and the government is that one is in the light, the other is in the dark "
Lan Mu asked: "Don't listen to the government … Are the funds provided by the Corporations?"
"That's right, 90% of the funds are provided by the Corporations. Many business tycoons have joined forces to form an anomaly rich club. It was with their support that Japan was able to establish MPI. Among the 11 Preachers, 8 of them are descendants of influential families, so MPI provides them with extremely high benefits "
"Benefits?"
Minar explained: "MPI Preachers are granted immunity from criminal charges, including the right to kill! During the mission, they can refuse to listen to the government's orders and only follow MPI's orders. They're also granted a military rank, allowing them to control the military to a certain extent with MPI's permission. As for wealth, there's no need to worry about it. The reward for each mission is between 200,000 USD to 1,000,000 USD, each Preacher is even given a few shares of the corporation, and their annual dividends are a fixed salary … "
Hearing that, Lan Mu became more and more speechless. No wonder MPI was able to recruit anomalies, it turns out that they had such high benefits and privileges.
Compared to that, CANC, Qianlong, and Blue and White Society were nothing.
For example, Fang Moqi was equivalent to a Blue and White Society Preacher, so he had plenty of funds, but he didn't have many privileges.
The same was true for Ma Xiaoou. She used to stay in Siberia to cultivate, but recently went to Europe to oversee the Three Kingdoms. She had already become an undead, so she didn't need to enjoy anything.
The upper echelons of Blue and White Society were a bit strange, but they were all close because of Lan Mu.
Some of them didn't get paid a single cent, but still worked hard.
In comparison, the obedience of Japan's Preachers was all based on high benefits and privileges.
They didn't have any real thoughts of protecting the people.
It was as if the holders of anomalies had become a new privileged class in Japan.
