Pretend I'm the Mastermind

Reborn one year before the spiritual energy revival, Li Jing relocated to a foreign country, employing various methods and concealing his identity in the shadows. He planned to use his foreknowledg...

Chapter 100 Neon is under control

"Senior Dongye, the people are becoming more and more resistant to the extraordinary. What should we do?"

In the newly built Yin Yang Liao building of the Neon Government, Konno Miho half leaned on the bed, nervously looking out the window at the crowd of people who were marching and protesting, and said nervously: "Is it possible...are we really so hated?"

Miho Konno still had her arm in a cast and she looked a little sad.

She worked so hard to create a peaceful living environment for the people of Sakura City and was seriously injured for it. However, she did not expect that the people of Sakura City would be so ungrateful and insult her as a mutated monster. This made Konno Miho, a 17 or 18-year-old high school girl, feel a little sad.

"Monsters? Humph, why bother with them?"

Higashino Eiji didn't seem to be affected by the people's demonstration. Instead, he wiped his newly bought sword seriously and looked them up and down: "They are just mortals. If they really hate us and don't need our protection, that would be great."

Eiji Higashino did not join the Onmyoji voluntarily. He joined the Onmyoji just to avoid being wanted.

The Pearl of Despair slowly changed Higashino Eiji's mentality. He now had a faint disdain for ordinary people: "We are the darlings of the new era and the strong men of the future. Why should we care about the opinions of those mortals?"

After that, Higashino Eiji walked to the window leisurely with a sword in hand, looking at the excited people, with a slight smile on his face: "If it weren't for some reason, who would be willing to protect these idiots?"

"Senior Dongye, I..."

Miho Konno seemed to want to say something, but in the end she didn't open her mouth.

What she wanted to say was that the main reason for such a large-scale demonstration was actually because of Higashino Eiji.

Higashino Eiji's law enforcement process has always been rough, and while eliminating monsters, he often causes huge economic losses, causing displeasure among the people of Sakura City.

Two days ago, a ghost who was good at transforming pretended to be Higashino Eiji and wreaked havoc in the city. Although it has been confirmed that it was a fake monster, it caused complaints from the people and became the fuse of the protest.

Eiji Higashino glanced at his high school teammate who was so simple and somewhat cute, and shook his head slightly.

Instead of relying on this high school girl with a strong sense of justice, it would be better to go and chat with Nanako Asama at the Sengen Shrine.

They are all high school students, but Nanako Asama is much more realistic.

"The opponent is very cunning and shrewd. This is probably related to the Mirror Demon King."

Turning around, Higashino Eiji looked at his notebook and muttered to himself: "The Mirror Demon King has a great relationship with the black cat. Their direct master may be..."

Thinking of this, Higashino Eiji let out a long sigh, and a solemn look flashed in his eyes.

"Kyogoku-Qiong...Did you plan all this?"

But after he finished speaking, Higashino Eiji laughed at himself and denied it: "No, it's impossible. With Kyogoku Qiong's ability, he can easily slaughter the entire Sakura City. There is no need to use such means."

"Those of you who have been hiding in Yingdu, please don't let me find your tracks, otherwise... the endless sea water will tell you what the end will be."

Seeing the ambitious uncle next to her, Konno Miho felt a little scared, but there was no way. Now she had to work together with Higashino Eiji to overcome the difficulties together.

......

"Against the Extraordinary!"

"Neon belongs to normal people!"

The parade on the streets of Sakura City was lively and Li Jing was somewhat amused as he strolled through the streets of Shinjuku District.

When did Neon become so free?

Those so-called marchers could not cause any harm to Li Jing. They couldn't even touch Li Jing, they couldn't even see him, they could only pass by.

Li Jing could feel that Sakura was extremely wonderful right now.

The frequency of ghosts reviving is getting higher and higher, but Li Jing can clearly sense the obvious breath of the Buddha's light and the breath of the Pearl of Despair. It seems that Konno Miho and Higashino Eiji have joined the Neon government and started to clean up the ghosts.

Moreover, the Pearl of Despair that is parasitic on Higashino Eiji's body is also growing rapidly. It is currently 0.4 times stronger than before Li Jing's retreat. If it continues like this, this Pearl of Despair will probably grow into a good magical weapon.

The quartet of the Mirror Ghost, Udon, Zangmi, and Crow Tengu are still entrenched in the Mengpo Milk Tea shop. Li Jing can feel from the Mirror Ghost that he seems to be involved with many ghosts in Sakura City.

I'm afraid that the creation of most of the ghosts in Yingdu is directly due to the Ghost in the Mirror, and the Ghost in the Mirror is the undisputed king of ghosts in Yingdu.

Yes, in the current Neon, no matter whether they are good guys or bad guys, they are all players arranged by Li Jing, and everything is under control.

After reading it, Li Jing had already arrived in front of his own shop.

Looking at the [Niutou BBQ] which had already started trial operation next to him, Li Jing was quite satisfied. Without any hesitation, he pushed open the door of the milk tea shop and entered.

"Boss, you're back!"

Lin Qing, who was originally nervous, saw Li Jing push the door and enter. Her expression instantly changed from nervousness to surprise: "Welcome home, boss!"

"Ah Qing did a great job."

Glancing at the shy employees, Li Jing nodded pretentiously, handed out a stack of bonuses, and said, "Now that we have sufficient capital chain, we can start the surrounding acquisition plan. I want to turn this street into a place with special 'Huangquan Hell' food."

"Boss, the situation is complicated right now. I suggest you keep the money and return home as soon as possible."

Lin Qing advised quietly: "The current situation is so dangerous, the safety of life and property cannot be guaranteed, you should cash out and go home as soon as possible."

"Don't be afraid, I'm here, it's all right."

Li Jing answered casually, and at the same time said: "From now on, my store will be handed over to you to manage. I may return to China or go to the United States in a few days. Everything will be normal. If you need money, just take it from the account."

After that, Li Jing looked at the ghost, dog and cat combination of Udon, Crow Tengu and Mirror Ghost hiding in the corner, and said with a smile: "I have a friend who works in a shrine. He has a few talismans posted in the store to ensure the safety of the store."

Lin Qing's big, adorable eyes were full of doubt, but she did not reject Li Jing's words. Instead, she agreed and said, "If that's the case, that would be great."

"I will stay in Yingdu for a few days. If there is anything, please report to me as much as possible."

After saying this, Li Jing yawned and walked towards the lounge.

Next, he would hold a large-scale harvesting ceremony in Yingdu, making use of the transformation ability of the black jade pendant as much as possible to stabilize his own Tengyun Realm, and then head to the wider sky.

Everything in Neon is already under control. There is no need to act like a local tyrant in Neon.

It's time to explore new markets.
