Chapter 8
The King's Council.
A meeting initiated by the Golden King to gather the royal authorities recognized by the Dresden Slate to discuss matters.
In fact, none of the seven kings were ever present, because with superhuman powers, everyone's consciousness and ideas were better exerted, and not everyone was willing to obey the same order as others, even if this order was maintained by the second king, the King of Gold.
The kings who came to attend the meeting this time were all closely related to the recent Tokyo riots. The Golden Kingdom's Daikaku Tsuneji, the Red King's Soho Tsuyoshi, the Blue King's Reisi Munakata, and the protagonist of the last riot, the Silver King's Isanasha.
In the building of Fei Shi Yuan, under the shining of the emblem with octagonal dragon eyes, there are talents who can guide the fate of the country. In the outside world, they are members of the top talents in various industries, but in this building, they are as diligent as worker bees.
Every time Suho-sama steps into this place, he feels out of place. Unlike him, Munakata Reiji, who adapts well to this, is also an elite in his own right. After becoming the Blue King, he is also the leader of scepter4, which maintains order. The Blue King and the Red King, order and destruction, are entities that cannot coexist.
Originally, he should have thought so, but after witnessing the Red King and the Blue King getting along for the first time, Isanasha quickly erased his original guess that the Red King and the Blue King had a bad relationship.
After watching the usually negative Suho-sama and the always rational Munakata Reiji bickering, the "old man" who is actually 90 years old thought to himself, they are friends!
"Why did the Golden King summon us here?" Reiji Munakata pushed his glasses. "Also, I need an explanation for the unrest these days."
Scepter 4's duty was supposed to be to appear in a situation like that, but at the beginning of the chaos, the Golden King sent someone to stop Scepter 4 from going out.
"Because that's not a bad thing. It's like you've done what you wanted to do but never succeeded." Zhou Fangzun touched his pocket and found that the Marlboro was hidden by Anna.
After getting a good rest, the king of the Red Team became even more aggressive in the things he was fond of before, such as smoking and provoking Reiji Munakata.
If it were any other situation, Reiji Munakata would definitely accept the provocation, but in the Non-Tokiin, he was more concerned about the purpose of this meeting.
The Golden King was silent for a long time, looking at the young man below, feeling relieved but a little helpless. Looking at his friend who was about the same age but had been stuck at that moment, Izanagi smiled back.
The emergence of the king is a change for this country, but the day of change is not only in the past, but also in the coming future, and this time no one knows whether the change is good or bad.
"We are going to talk about Tokyo this time." Izanasha spoke before his old friend, "The city where we live has a will."
The moment the words came out, silence spread here.
"You mean, the land god was born?"
Reiji Munakata thought for a while. A curse from a god? A demon incarnation? Although it was not common, it had happened before.
"It shouldn't be. We contacted all the insiders and summarized the information." Izanasha was silent for a moment and turned on the projection screen. "The biggest possibility is that he is Tokyo."
Who else but Tokyo can capture what is happening in the entire city at any time?
This is the footage recorded by the surveillance camera, which has been completely destroyed, leaving only the one recorded by Fei Shiyuan.
The crime was committed in a place where the criminal would not expose his crime. The monitor was actually broken. After the noisy black and white noise lasted for a while, the picture suddenly appeared.
The man who was being publicized was different from what most people imagined. He wore a slightly oversized black hoodie, had slender limbs, and clear eyes, and looked like an elf in a fairy tale. The whole process was as simple as putting an elephant into a refrigerator. The criminal with a scar on his face was dragged into the shadows, and the rescued people screamed and fled. Then the boy walked leisurely like a strolling cat, approached the camera, and opened and closed his mouth to spit out silent sentences -
【Tonight at ten o'clock, I will come to see you, King of Gold. 】
Everyone subconsciously looked at the only clock hanging in the hall. The second hand ticked across the scales, and then when it stopped at the number twelve, it made a duller sound.
Boom!
Like a signal.
"Good evening, I'm here as promised." A voice came from not far away, and a face consistent with the one on the screen appeared behind the King of Gold.
Let’s go back ten minutes.
Outside the non-time hospital building.
[Host, the Golden King has called the other three kings.] The system was a little depressed. When the host asked him to fix the surveillance, he was talking about the city's identity. As long as they walked a clear path in front of the Golden King, there would be no problem. But unexpectedly, the Blue King, the Red King, and the Silver King all came. Scepter4's profiler also drew a portrait of Tokyo. With so many people, the host will not have any problems, right?
Shinichi Hirin ignored the system and gestured at the height of the top floor.
The system is curious: [Host, what are you doing? ]
"I was wondering if it would be cooler to kick the glass and get in?"
system:"……"
Should I say he is dedicated? After the fusion vest, the host completely integrates Tokyo's personality, a strange "lively"? Considering that the city settings were all made by Shinichi Hinawa, the system was speechless for a moment.
After just thinking about the possibilities, Hinawa Shinichi still knew to leave a more positive image. Using Nekomata's ability, the most convenient way was to appear from the shadows. I hope the hall where they were meeting wasn't too bright.
Time goes back to the present.
Shinichi Hirin walked through the King's throne and sat in one of the empty seats.
"I thought it was a meeting between two of us." Passing by the other three, the boy looked straight at the Golden King.
"Don't be so shy?" Izanasha, who is very friendly, tried to smooth things over.
Hinawa Shinichi: "I thought you had given up your duties as the Silver King?"
Shinichi Hirin had no special feelings towards the Silver King. It was just that in the "comics" given by the system, he should have been the protagonist, but his aura was not as dazzling as that of the other characters.
Izanasha was not angry after being bullied: "Because the situation has changed, I guess Tokyo will need the power of the Silver King for a while."
Shinichi Hinawa didn't comment and muttered, "Qing and Chi are here too. I haven't thought about facing these two directly for the time being."
Reiji Munakata was sitting opposite the boy. Hearing this, he was a little confused, but he had a more important question: "Are you here to explain your behavior these days?"
"Huh?" The boy blinked. "Why should I explain this to you?"
The Green King's expression became visibly solemn, and it was basically certain that the boy would not be on the side of order.
But living creatures themselves are not able to empathize with other species. Even if they have a symbiotic relationship with humans, there is no need for them to set up cities as "servers" for humans.
"Do humans consider other things when they pinch the lice on their bodies to death?" Hinawa Shinichi gave a tentative explanation, "I just pinched the pests on my body to death, I don't think there is anything wrong with it."
The words, which sounded quite evil and chaotic, made the faces of several people present look unfriendly.
"Are you here to declare war?" The Golden King stood up, showing the oppressive feeling of the most powerful king.
But the boy on the other side did not show any pressure, but his delicate face was wrinkled. "What a trouble, you really like to overthink as Kyoto said."
"Don't worry, we have no intention of being enemies with humans. When we eliminate cancer cells, we also have to consider the lives of other healthy cells." Looking at the alert King, Shinichi Hinawa added, "And, if possible, I want you to compete with each other."
The boy threw a USB flash drive to the Golden King, and after Kunijoji Daijue caught it, a non-Tokiin member wearing a rabbit mask immediately came over, checked it, and reported to their king that the USB flash drive contained information about some criminal organizations in Tokyo.
The boy who had always been extremely willful suddenly showed his goodwill, and the kings looked at each other in surprise. Could it be that in Tokyo's eyes, the kings were white blood cells that devoured germs? But that was not entirely true. Considering the boy's previous soliloquy, it was estimated that the previous Blue King and Red King were the special germs that cured the disease.
"You want to cooperate? You are Tokyo. Is this what all cities think?" The Golden King, who is at the political center of the country, knows more. He has already contacted the sorcerer Gojo family and knows the information known by the six-eyed man.
Although the city you live in has consciousness, which may mean that your every move is being monitored, it is not a bad thing if evil forces are also being monitored and the city has the reason to tell them this information.
But regarding this matter, the boy nodded first, then shook his head: "I intend to cooperate, but I am only in Tokyo. Other cities have their own ideas. You can't make decisions for people in other cities, right?"
"We have a way to appear in front of humans, but not all cities are willing to appear in front of humans. We are just tired of being hurt at will, and want to give humans a warning." Hinata Shinichi, who felt that he had revealed enough, wanted to end this conversation.
"Anyway, it would be great if you guys could be of use to me." The boy looked like he had solved a big problem. "That's it. I'll email you the details. It's the 21st century now, so let's use a more efficient method."
"I'm going to sleep now, that's all, bye."
The moment he said goodbye, the boy's body instantly turned into flowing ink, surging as fast as the melting wax figure, then merged with the shadow of the conference table and quickly seeped into the floor.
"Maybe we have a very interesting friend." When Izanasha saw that a piece of the untouched snack on the table was missing, he smiled and patted his old friend.
After this comforting remark, an alarm from the ground floor of the building rang throughout the building, and clan members who rushed up reported that the Dresden slate had disappeared.
The four royal cell phones started to buzz at the same moment.
[As a reward for your cooperation, I will first help you solve the biggest problem. ] from Tokyo.
