"You, you can't do this! This is... illegal!" someone couldn't help but speak up: "Even the emperor is subject to the same punishment as the common people. You can't act arbitrarily and unilaterally!"

"I saved this world, so why can't I have absolute power?" Shi Yin's eyes were icy. "Are you trying to say that even though I gave you supplies, housing, warmth, medical care, and protection, why should I care about you?"

"I, you, I..." The person stammered and couldn't continue.

"Then you can't use us as bait!" A woman rushed out, her eyes bloodshot. "My parents, my husband, and my daughter are all in safe zone B. Why should you sacrifice them? This is not fair."

“I’m not in the mood to discuss fairness with you. In that case, you can fill out a questionnaire in an hour. Those who don’t want to stay can be exiled.” Shi Yin frowned: “You can also seek refuge in other countries.”

Suddenly, some people fell silent.

"I'll count to three. If you don't move, then forget it." Shi Yin held up three fingers: "Three, two..."

"Bang!"

A sudden explosion came from behind, startling Shi Yin for a moment.

Everyone turned to look, and there were dazzling fireworks exploding in the dark red sky, like stars shattered before the apocalypse, one after another, a scene so magnificent it seemed out of place.

A fiery tree brushes against the clouds as a crimson phoenix soars; rare flowers carpet the ground as fallen petals.

Everyone's emotions were stirred up. Even Shi Yin felt a surge of inexplicable joy and anticipation in her heart, as if the fireworks had endless attraction. The crowd began to move towards the fireworks, making way for them.

"Tokyo!"

A hand grabbed Shi Yin's wrist, and Shi Yin felt a sudden lightness in her hand. She looked up and saw Bei Qingchuan carrying Ye Shaoheng on his shoulder, grabbing her wrist and turning to run away.

Shi Yin blinked, letting Bei Qingchuan pull her back to the Doomsday Beacon like a thief.

Unfortunately, his cool demeanor lasted only three minutes. Bei Qingchuan was carrying Ye Shaoheng, a strong and muscular man, on one arm and had to drag Shi Yin along as they ran, almost exhausting him to death.

If it weren't for the medical staff who were prepared and caught Ye Shaoheng in time, Bei Qingchuan would have fallen to the ground with Ye Shaoheng.

"You really love saving the day, huh?" Shi Yin crossed her arms, somewhat amused. "Back in the entertainment industry, you were the undisputed master of saving the day. Now you're going to continue to carry on that legacy here?"

That sentence almost made Kita Kiyokawa choke to death.

There are many chaotic situations in this world, especially in the entertainment industry. Production teams love to create conflicts to generate buzz among netizens, and guests often engage in all sorts of outrageous behavior, completely disregarding the consequences.

Bei Qingchuan has come a long way through countless hardships, including going through fire and water, being boiled in oil, and being whipped. Each time, he felt like dying.

Now Tokine is actually bringing this up again!

Doesn't he have any pride?!

"Miss, you're back." A figure suddenly cut in, gritting his teeth as he pried open Bei Qingchuan's hands, separating Bei Qingchuan and Shi Yin.

"Ah, Nanzhu." Shiyin blinked. "You set off the fireworks?"

“Of course, I hope you like it, Miss.” Nan Zhu’s attitude changed completely, and she said gently, “The Commander-in-Chief hopes that we can help you out of this predicament. Time is of the essence, so we have no other choice.”

"It's not a bad idea, is it? When I suggested setting off fireworks, didn't you say it was a good idea?" Kita Kiyokawa's expression was strange.

The expert with high emotional intelligence refused to help smooth things over. Nan Zhu snorted and, without backing down, handed the documents in her hand to Shi Yin.

“Miss, these are the inspection results of the giant robot. Some parts are difficult to repair and may require your assistance.” Nan Zhu handed the detailed investigation report to Shi Yin: “The distribution of supplies has stabilized, but public opinion cannot be suppressed for the time being. There is a meeting in two hours, which you may need to attend.”

"Okay, I understand." Shi Yin carefully examined the data on the screen: "What's the latest news from the New World?"

“Leviathan’s timely retreat prevented us from suffering too heavy a loss.” Nanzhu paused slightly. “As for the rest, we haven’t received any news yet.”

"Okay, go prepare for the meeting." Shi Yin glanced at the time: "They really aren't tired. It'll be past 11 p.m. in two hours."

Given those people's habits, the meeting would likely end late at night, and they would still have work to do the next day. They really went to great lengths to attack her.

If we can't defeat them, why bother?

"Also, keep an eye on Ye Shaoheng. Just tell him the truth whatever he asks," Shi Yin added.

“But,” Nanzhu hesitated, “wouldn’t that be too disheartening for him, if he were to stand against you…”

Nan Zhu didn't say the second half of his sentence. If Ye Shaoheng were on the opposite side of Shi Yin, Nan Zhu might choose to eliminate Ye Shaoheng before his injuries had healed.

"It's alright, let's see what he chooses." Shi Yin waved her hand casually: "Also, I'll circle the location where Leviathan will appear next time, so go and notify all departments to be prepared."

Nan Zhu: "Yes!"

In every respect, Nan Zhu is indeed a very considerate and qualified secretary.

After mastering each task, Shi Yin only needed to give orders, and the rest was up to Nan Zhu to supervise the work. Often, the staff of the Doomsday Beacon could see Nan Zhu anywhere from the first floor to the top floor.

He is a model worker.

"Also, help me make up some more stories later." Shi Yin thought for a moment and continued, "The rampant plant growth was resolved by Chang Ning, and the heat disaster was also resolved by killing Samael. You can always guess the cause and effect of my actions, so think more about how to answer those people's questions."

Anyway, Shi Yin knows her own limitations, and what she says can only stir up conflict.

Although most of the time Tokine does it on purpose, there are times when it's not appropriate to provoke conflict, so Tokine will choose to keep quiet. But if she really pretends to be mute, she will inevitably be bombarded with questions.

Sure enough, it's best to use her mouth instead; she can just show her face.

This time, Shi Yin actually planned to be more forceful, using stronger methods to suppress the situation, in order to achieve her goal.

But this time she was too tired and wanted to rest. At least she didn't want to say anything in this meeting. She wanted to calm down, organize her thoughts, and see if there were any loopholes before continuing to escalate the conflict.

"And one more thing." Shi Yin reached out and tugged at Nan Zhu's tie, forcing him to bend down and whisper in his ear, "Keep an eye on my family's movements, especially my sister. I sensed she was using her powers last time..."

Nan Zhu felt a chill run down his spine.

He knew exactly what this meant. The country had protected Shi Yin's family very well, but her sister had used her superpowers... Was there something wrong with the people they were protecting?

This needs to be done discreetly, so that Pride doesn't find out. Otherwise, wouldn't Tokine really have her weakness exploited? But Pride's strength is unfathomable, so we really need to be careful with this move.

"Yes." Nan Zhu bowed respectfully, gave Bei Qingchuan a warning look as he stood up, and left with his mission.

Kita Kiyokawa shrugged and looked away, seemingly ignoring Nan Zhu.

If Nan Zhu hadn't had such an important mission, he would have stayed behind to fight him.

"Sigh." Shi Yin pressed her temples. Her mind was in a mess. It wasn't that her thoughts were unclear, but rather that she was very irritable.

If Nan Zhu and Bei Qingchuan hadn't brought her in, Shi Yin would have really started killing people. She had completely lost control of her violent temper, and every time she closed her eyes, she saw everyone looking at her for the last time before they died.

Trust and steadfastness.

"Hey, Shion." Kitakami patted Shion on the shoulder.

Shi Yin snapped out of her daze. She had been thinking too much and thought Kita Kiyokawa should have already left, but she didn't expect him to still be standing there.

"Hey, Shi Yin, are you a good kid?" Kita Kiyokawa crossed his arms and bent down: "Did you ever skip class when you were in school?"

Shi Yin: "No."

Shi Yin's father is a teacher, and her family has strict rules. If she dares to skip class, her legs will be broken...

No, that's not right. Shi Yin's parents don't hit people, but they sit heavily on the sofa, speaking in a somber tone with serious eyes. They use the guise of conversation to be violent, yet their tone is sorrowful, trying to persuade her kindly...

Shi Yin is easily swayed by gentle persuasion but not by force, and can only surrender every time.

Moreover, Shi Yin's father was her elementary school homeroom teacher, her father's brother was her middle school homeroom teacher, and her father's brother's wife was her high school homeroom teacher...

It was a complete mess. She skipped class non-stop, and it would be more like she was forced to be a good girl.

But why ask that now?

"Want to give it a try?" Bei Qingchuan blinked, and Shi Yin actually saw a hint of mischief on Bei Qingchuan's gentle and refined face.

Shi Yin: "?"

"What?" Shi Yin was a little confused, and she had a bad feeling.

"Let's give it a try." Kitakami Kawai whispered to Shion with a smile, "Let's skip class and not listen to those guys lecturing us this time."

"Huh?" Shi Yin was shocked that such words actually came from Kita Kiyokawa's mouth: "Everyone should attend this meeting, I'm not going..."

Isn't that a bad idea?

"Anyway, they're all criticizing and lecturing you." Kita Kiyokawa shrugged.

Tokine: "That's what they say..."

"Then why listen? You didn't do anything wrong, why listen to nonsense?" Bei Qingchuan smiled brightly: "Let's go, let's skip class."

"No, it's about running away from the meeting. You haven't rested since you started building the doomsday beacon. Just ignore them this time. Nothing is difficult if you're willing to run away!"

Shi Yin: "Hmm..."

Shi Yin: "What you said makes sense!"

office.

Commander-in-Chief: "Achoo!"
