I really can't control myself.

Chapter 3502 Candidates

At this time, Linton had already briefly reported the situation at the shrine to Asuna. Of course, Linton was too lazy to say more and just briefly mentioned it.

Asuna actually already knew a lot of information from the Internet. Just by seeing the news about the shrine flying in the sky, she knew that it must have been Linton's doing.

According to current investigations, there is nothing particularly supernatural in this world. If we have to say, some chef-related abilities are indeed different from those of ordinary people, such as the tongue of God.

But after all, this is a world with a cooking theme, so these things are not that exaggerated and can be considered acceptable.

But this flying shrine that suddenly appeared was too abrupt. It must have been done by Linton. There was nothing wrong with it.

Now Asuna finally understood why Linton suddenly wanted to do this, but she also had obvious doubts about the thing that called itself a system. To put it bluntly, she felt that there was a conspiracy.

Of course, Linton doesn't care about any conspiracy, you can do whatever you want. Anyway, the fusion progress here has really increased, that's all. As long as the fusion task is completed, this thing that claims to be a system wants to rule the world, it has nothing to do with Linton, so let it do whatever it wants.

While the two were talking, Aizen also came back.

Linton didn't expect the other party to come back so quickly. Of course, Aizen also reported what he had done.

Linton was a little surprised that the other party didn't communicate with the reporter. He originally thought that he could use Aizen's identity as a priest to reveal something to the reporter, so he thought that Aizen would be back soon.

However, Aizen quickly explained the reason why he did so, which is to say, mystery should remain mysterious.

Simply put, maintaining a sense of mystery will keep others in awe and make it easier to arouse emotions.

For example, when Buddhism entered Japan in the past, it quickly developed a large number of believers, which posed a huge threat to the native Shintoism.

So the shogunate at that time used a series of vicious schemes, including forcing monks to eat meat under the pretext of enriching nutrition, and allowing monks to marry and have children under the pretext of developing population. A series of policies that seemed to be for your own good, but made these monks become just ordinary people with shaved heads.

However, for ordinary people, gods and their servants should be different from ordinary people. In the end, a large number of people directly abandoned Buddhism and turned to the more unique Shintoism.

This is the necessity of maintaining mystery, especially since this matter itself involves the shrine, which is why Aizen would do this.

Since Linton had given this matter to Aizen, he would naturally do it well. So according to his plan, he started to play tricks.

Including the series of pictures taken by reporter Matsumoto before, they were actually arranged by Aizen. They are half-revealed, which makes people feel mysterious but not completely unable to see anything.

"Well... it seems so." Linton nodded after hearing what Aizen said. He hadn't thought so much about it before, but now that Aizen seemed to have already thought of a plan, it would be natural for him to follow Aizen's plan, which would save him trouble.

"I would like to suggest that we send a few people to participate in the plan as enemies of the demon faction." Aizen said at this time.

"Oh? I see. You mean we play all the good and bad guys, right?" Linton nodded. "This is becoming more and more like a behind-the-scenes plot. Oh, by the way, you look like a suitable person to be the mastermind." "What I mean is, since what is harvested are emotional values, then both negative emotions, such as fear and despair, and positive emotions, such as faith, salvation and hope, can be harvested. Since we are a shrine ourselves, launching a few characters like 'saviors' can harvest double the emotional values." Aizen said.

"Yes, that's right, that's the tune." Linton nodded, "So this doesn't mean you're playing the role of a priest. You represent the shrine now anyway, right?"

"Well, what I mean is that on this basis, we can expand the team a little bit. As long as they are in the name of the shrine, they should be able to bring emotions to the shrine." Aizen nodded.

After saying that, Aizen thought for a moment and added, "And I don't recommend executing the monster invasion plan tomorrow."

"Why?" asked Linton.

"Although the monster invasion can mobilize a large amount of emotions at once, based on the extent of the increase in emotions I observed before, it should not allow us to complete the task in one go." Aizen said, "And the system said that even if we reach 100 million energy, it is only the first stage of spiritual energy recovery. Judging from the current progress of the fusion task, the first stage may not be enough to complete this task."

"What we need may be a long-lasting process of harvesting emotional values, which cannot be achieved overnight." Aizen said, "In this case, there is a problem, that is, living people are needed to provide emotional values." Aizen said.

"Uh... so what you mean is that the monster invasion will directly kill a large number of people, and then there will be no one to provide emotional points, right?" Linton finally understood.

"But if the degree of harm is limited, the emotional points that can be provided will not be high. But if too many people die, it will also have an impact. The best way is for us to form a team to repel the monsters. This will not cause a large number of casualties, and can also absorb emotional points from both positive and negative sides." Aizen also told his plan.

"Hmm, that's right. As expected, we still need someone to identify the real mastermind behind the scenes. I say, Aizen, isn't your character a little too suitable?" Linton said.

"..." Aizen didn't know what to say.

"Anyway, let's not send Godzilla here for now. Let's get a Justice League first, right?" Linton summed it up. "Let's get a few tools to help with the work. As for the selection of people..."

Just as Linton finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Linton asked Asuna to open the door, and found that the person who came in was actually Tadokoro Megumi.

"Well, this is a snack I made myself... I'm here to say thank you." Tanadore Megumi said directly to Fubuki and Linton.

It seems that she is really a grateful person. The two of them helped her keep her student status, and she really knows how to repay the favor. She just made delicious food and came to give it to her.

"Um, is it Megumi Tadokoro?" Linton looked at Megumi Tadokoro, who was nervous for some reason, and suddenly stood up and said with a smile.

"Yes... yes." Tansho Kei was really nervous. She didn't know why she felt nervous when Linton was looking at her. Maybe it was because of the look in his eyes?

"Do you know why your cooking skills are so bad? Do you understand the gap between you and Fubuki?" Linton asked with a smile.

"No...I don't know." Tanomo Kei shook her head.

"That's right, you don't know." Linton nodded with satisfaction and started to fool people.
