"Tokyo, I'll come to you as soon as possible. International students, please keep an eye out for me before I go out to play." Helmod said. "I'll do some research; I might still lean towards the source."
Agareth ground down his molars.
The exchange students came from him. Using them to trace the source is just pointing fingers at him, suggesting that the virus might have leaked from Milica.
Agare could do nothing but grit his teeth in frustration.
He wasn't an expert in this field and had no access to it in his own country, but he had heard about it to some extent. However, no matter how reckless they were, he still had to save them, since he had his own purposes.
Oh, there's one more question.
There seemed to be some background noise coming from Agaray's side. He turned his head to listen for a while, then turned back.
Our people here want you to share all your technology and energy, probably because they want to take the lead and have everyone else assist them?
Everyone fell silent for a moment, then turned to look at Shi Yin, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
What? Isn't that what you meant?
Agareth glanced to the side.
Everyone: "..."
The group didn't even need to ask Agaray to move the camera; they could already guess that Milica's old man's face was probably swollen like a pig's liver.
"If you want to do it, go out and do it on your own." Shi Yin's voice turned cold: "With Yanlong Kingdom as the central tower, spreading outwards to unify and dominate, didn't you tell him?"
"Of course I said that. I was just repeating what he meant; I didn't agree." Agareth shrugged, distancing himself. "I just wanted to let you know so that I wouldn't be blamed if anything unexpected happened later."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the others also became somewhat strange.
Do these people even understand whose orders they are listening to?
“Go back and emphasize to your superiors that this operation is centered on the Yanlong Kingdom, and that the suggestions and orders of my team are the highest priority in the fight against the apocalypse. Anyone who disagrees should go out and work alone. There is no need or room for meetings or discussions.”
Shi Yin leaned back in her chair, her gaze chillingly cold.
"During the apocalypse, the Yanlong Kingdom held absolute dominance."
There was no need for these five people to go back and emphasize it; all the superiors were sitting around them at that moment.
Regardless of the expressions of those in power, at least Ishtar and his companions remained calm, even smiling, clearly indicating that they had already known about and tacitly accepted the matter.
"Then let's swear an oath once more, old friends." Ishtar gave a faint smile.
"Honestly, I have to say it every time. I'm so tired of it." Tyr leaned back in his chair with his arms crossed.
Despite saying that, the smile on his lips showed that he was in a very good mood at the moment.
“…Uh, it’s fine if you don’t have to take the oath.” Shi Yin touched the back of her neck, which was actually a little sweaty: “Actually, the way you guys always take oaths really makes it seem like you’re running a pyramid scheme.”
What is pyramid selling?
"...fraud gang."
Are you shy?
"……No."
The leader looked at Shi Yin, who suddenly seemed uneasy, with amusement. Shi Yin had always given him the impression of being calm and composed, but now she seemed to want to shut down the computer immediately.
"Ahem, let's begin." Helmod cleared his throat. "We need to constantly remind ourselves who we are."
Shi Yin remained silent.
Okay, I'll say it then.
The long night and the crimson moon are coming; I will fight against them until death.
Tyr: [In the name of protection, I have become a blazing fire to ward off the cold.]
Ishtar [In the name of love, I transform into the dawn that pierces the darkness.]
Agartha: [In the name of glory, I become the clarion call to awaken the lost.]
Helmod: [In the name of courage, I transform myself into wisdom that advances human civilization.]
Shi Yin watched the others take their oaths quietly, and only after the last person finished did she let out a subtle sigh.
"In the name of... victory, I become a blade in the darkness." Shi Yin raised her head again: "Crown myself with thorns as a crown."
[I crown you with a crown of thorns!]
"I swear that I will uphold justice through victory, no matter the outcome, until the end of time, until the desire of all people is fulfilled, until death do us part."
[Let us hope we never betray our vow.] Helmod removed his glasses. [Then, I'll take my men and head to Flame Dragon first. See you later.]
After saying that, Helmod hung up the phone.
Immediately afterwards, other people's calls also ended one after another.
"Uh, so this time it's actually the Yanlong Kingdom that's in charge, and we're being given leadership?" The commander-in-chief waited until everyone had turned off the video call before speaking.
The leader found it truly unbelievable.
His original idea was for everyone to discuss and decide who had more or less say, rather than having one party have absolute say.
But this meeting was so clear that even a fool could understand it.
The Yanlong Kingdom holds absolute power!
Others can offer suggestions, but the key is whether they adopt them or not. If they don't adopt them, then it definitely can't be done; if they do adopt them, then it must be done. This is something the leader wouldn't even dare to think about.
“Whoever has the stronger fist has the right to speak. All four of them combined can’t beat me, so of course I have the absolute right to speak.” Shi Yin’s eyes were smiling: “With me here, you won’t lose.”
The leader's heart skipped a beat, and a strange power surged through his body. Shi Yin's voice was so calm, yet it gave people an exhilarating feeling.
"I believe you can make the right choice. I mainly make decisions on major events, but the overall direction is still decided by the country."
Shi Yin checked the computer, her voice softening to the point of sounding almost like a show of weakness: "Right now you might think I'm being too absolute, so absolute as to be unreasonable, but..."
“I don’t think so.” The commander shook his head: “Since you came to us, I don’t think you’re unreasonable.”
Shi Yin opened her mouth, but then for a moment she couldn't speak. After a long pause, she finally laughed.
"Thank you." Shi Yin raised the corners of her lips. "However, we all have our own private purposes, so you..."
“Of course.” The commander-in-chief nodded: “You have given so much, you deserve what you are pursuing.”
You've already covered everything I was saying, so what else can I say?
Shi Yin looked somewhat helpless, touched her chin, and stood up.
"Let's go to the meeting. I just wrote down everything they said." Shi Yin waved the notebook in her hand: "Helmod is fast and should arrive in five or six days. Tyr is even faster, but he's not in a hurry. I suggest we go to the moon to establish a research base."
"I'd like to know more: do you want to establish a research base, or do you want to open up the moon for human habitation?" the commander-in-chief asked.
“Establish a research base.” Shi Yin repeated, “Earth is my home. Running away won’t solve the problem. Helmod will bring the most advanced research results. Why not?”
That makes sense. If that's the case, with Shi Yin and the others constantly going through reincarnations, technology might have advanced by hundreds of years.
The Consul General agreed after a moment's thought.
The moon is indeed the safest place. After all, developing viruses and researching and exploring the universe are not the same profession, and those behind the scenes can't possibly track down the moon to release the virus.
Moreover, the moon does not have the basic conditions for virus transmission, right?
With that in mind, the leader and Shi Yin went to the outermost conference room together.
The conference room contained both young and elderly people, and the total number of people was not small. They were all staring intently at Shi Yin.
