The facts were just as Shizuku had expected. The next morning, when she turned on the TV and picked up the newspaper, the big news that was overwhelming was that the wife of Extreme Streamer Takuma Sakazaki, who had been dead for more than ten years, had been resurrected.
Of course, these news also did not miss the reward for the KOF competition champion of "being able to fulfill a wish", and linked this together and reported it extensively.
However, Shizuku simply watched it for fun and was not worried at all that it would be found out.
The reason was simple. Fang Zheng was using the Whispering Banner to perform information manipulation outside the star seed. In other words, the memories of all the people involved in fulfilling the wish were sealed. Even if they wanted to recall something, all they could recall was a blank. Even Helena was the same. Although she had just talked to Shizuku on the phone, she had now completely forgotten all those memories.
In order to divert attention, Shizuku built a statue of the dragon from "Dragon Ball" on the sidelines of the final that night - after all, collecting seven dragon balls can make a wish come true, so it's normal, right?
As expected, the next day many media focused their attention on the huge statue that suddenly appeared in front of the finals. Many of them suspected that it was the almighty anal explosion machine that could fulfill wishes. Now the police have blocked the place, and many Yin Yang masters and scientists have been recruited by the government to investigate... Shizuku doesn't need to worry about it anymore.
Anyway, she has already set the rules. From now on, the KOF competition will be held every three years. In addition to receiving a high prize money, the champion will also have a chance to realize his wish.
As for what wish the other party will make, Shizuku doesn't care at all - have you heard of the QB wish fulfillment method?
If it was just an ordinary wish, like Takuma Sakazaki wishing his wife to be resurrected, it would be fine, but if someone dared to make some outrageous wishes, don't blame Shizuku for finding a way to deal with him.
For example, if someone wishes for immortality, Shizuku will turn him into a tree - after all, you just wish to live forever, you didn't specify what form you want to live in, right?
And if someone wants mountains of gold and silver, Shizuku can just teleport him to a planet of precious metals, where there are diamonds and gold everywhere and he can create as much as he wants.
If someone wants to rule the world, it’s even simpler. Just send you to a game world and rule it however you want.
If you want to become the strongest in the world, then you have to think carefully about what the world you are talking about includes... Otherwise, just follow what Shizuku understands, for example, there is everything in dreams, right?
The dragon in Dragon Ball was too straightforward, so he was killed by the Great Demon King after helping Piccolo regain his youth. If it were Shizuku, she could have stopped Piccolo's time the moment he regained his youth and turned him into a statue - don't you want eternal youth? What do you think of this method?
To put it bluntly, since the right to realize your wishes is in the hands of others, you can only let others manipulate you. If someone really dares to make some outrageous wishes, Shizuku will let them experience firsthand what it means for people to not understand each other.
As the organizer of KOF, Helena was of course called in for questioning. The other party might even put pressure on her or something, but Shizuku didn't need to worry about that. She had already engraved the rules on the stone slab under the dragon statue. It was up to others to abide by them or not. As for Helena... well, she had to take the blame.
As for Akasawa Izumi and Sakuragi Yukari, Shizuku also held a welcome party for them - now her office has been transformed into a semi-apartment, with a cafe on the first floor, the office on the second floor, and accommodation rooms on the third floor, which are of course only open to the public.
Of course, Shizuku did not forget to tell the two of them the true identity of the monster girl that Shizuku had been waiting for. After all, they would be living here in the future, and it would only be a matter of time before they would be exposed. It would be better to give them a heads up in advance.
At first, after hearing Shizuku's introduction, Akasawa Izumi and Sakuragi Yukari were indeed a little surprised, but after all, they had also experienced the curse. In addition, Shizumi Hisa, Kaname Kirie, and Setsuna were all beautiful girls, and there was nothing particularly scary about them, so the two of them quickly accepted this.
Just like that, Shizuku started a shameless and happy life with a group of beautiful girls... If only it were that way.
“Haha…”
Looking at the starry sky outside the window, Shizuku couldn't help but sigh.
Since entering the 1990s, she felt as if the world was on a predetermined trajectory of destruction, as if the countdown of a time bomb had been activated, and the entire world had entered a deathly stillness and silence before destruction.
But...this isn't surprising.
Of course Shizuku knew where this came from, the reason was very simple, it was the end of the world in 1999.
From the perspective of people today, this is completely nonsense, but at that time this doomsday theory was very popular. It is said that it was based on the book "The Centuries" written by a famous prophet Nostradamus, which predicted the end of the world in 1999. Because of this, since the 1990s, there have been countless cartoons, movies, and novels with the end of the world as the theme. The more scientific ones are things like comets hitting the earth, the earth's center stopping, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and tsunamis. The unscientific ones are things like the resurrection of demons, moral degradation, and demons rampant...
Of course, the fact is that 1999 passed peacefully, and 2000 also passed peacefully, proving that the end of the world is all nonsense. Some people have also proposed that according to the Mayan prophecy, we should use the Mayan calendar to calculate, so the real end of the world is not 1999 or 2000 but 2012.
As a result, 2012 has passed...and this movie became a huge hit.
But this world is different.
I have said before that many monsters are created through the projection of human will. In other words, in this star world, will can affect reality. Now there are many rumors similar to the discussion of the end of the world in 1999. When human subconsciousness gathers together, it is possible to affect reality, such as summoning a monster that can destroy the world, or some kind of demon that destroys the world...
Just don't bring X-Men into this.
She got a headache whenever she thought of Shizuku, and what made her even more headache was that this thing seemed to have a bad ending...
The reason why Shizuku suddenly thought of this was because the Twelve Demon Slayer Families gave her a list of existing demon slayers from all over Japan, and Shizuku saw the name of "The Imperial Family" on it.
Seeing this, Shizuku suddenly felt a headache.
Don't tell me about "Tokyo Babylon" or "X-Men". What if I'm unlucky and meet Sakurazuka Seishirou, should I kill him or not?
If I don't kill him, the other party will kill me. If I kill him, won't those fujoshi who are obsessed with Seishirou tear me apart? Shizuku remembers that when Fangzheng was in school, the girls in the class were obsessed with this man and they always paired him with Huangangliu.
Speaking of the end of the world, Angel Sanctuary is no exception...
However, if the "Angel Sanctuary" really appeared, Shizuku would not be able to take action, and could only let Fang Zheng come in to solve it. After all, this involves the more core issue of the nature of the world. Shizuku is ultimately just a clone, and her output is limited. What's more... In this situation, it is more appropriate for the sister control to deal with it.
After all, the protagonist is also a sister-con.
“Haha…”
Shizuku put down the Coke in her hand, stood up and walked to the window, looking out at the night. Tokyo was still prosperous at the moment, but in Shizuku's eyes, this beautiful city was covered with a shadow that symbolized destruction... People in this world have nothing to do, so why are they thinking about the end of the world? Isn't it better to just live a good life? You have to torment yourself to create the end of the world. Now, when the end of the world really comes, let's see what you will do.
Shaking her head helplessly, Shizuku once again turned her gaze back to the list in front of her.
"Emperor, Tsuchimikado, Hanakaiin... There are quite a few Onmyojis, and there are also several from the Miko family. It's okay, most of them have no objection."
What the Tsuchimikado family reported this time was naturally the notification of the previous "surrender agreement". According to Tsuchimikado's notification, most of the demon-exorcising families were not very opposed to this behavior of "restricting the power of demon exorcists". Of course, they could not say that they agreed with it either. After all, this proposal was only on paper and had not been implemented.
At present, the Onmyoji family and the Miko family are more accepting of this proposal. Of course, there are also those who oppose it, such as...
"Damn, I knew those bald asses were stubborn and recalcitrant."
When Shizuku saw the words "Gokono", she cursed out loud.
She had known for a long time that anyone who associated with Buddhism was a bunch of diehards, either as saintly as the idiot monk she met in Waichang Village, or as fanatics. There was no hope of convincing them... She might as well follow Oda Nobunaga's example and burn down Mount Koya.
But even though Shizuku said that, there was no way she could go to Mount Koya.
The reason is very simple. When Fang Zheng was the emperor for a thousand years, he slaughtered the entire Buddhist world, for which he was given the title of "Buddhist Destroyer". This title would make Buddhist believers and Fang Zheng naturally hostile to each other, and Shizuku, as Fang Zheng's clone, was no exception. If she dared to step into Koyasan, then the monks would definitely treat her like the murderer of her father. At that time, Shizuku would have no choice but to raze Koyasan to the ground.
But for now, the situation is more or less clear.
But these bald donkeys in Koyasan are really a trouble. They have a special status. Even if Shizuku colludes with the members of Congress and makes things happen in the Metropolitan Police Department, it is difficult to influence these damn bald donkeys.
What's the best way to deal with them?
For Shizuku, this is a very difficult problem.
