How did I become a villain

Following Griffin's words [whether or not], Zeppelin, who was originally in the "standby" state, was immediately activated.

【here I am. 】In the sea of ​​consciousness, the revolution of the white companion star became much more flexible.

The girl first rubbed her wife's white ball, and then said: [I found something in Japan that may be the source of extremes, dear, do you want to take a look together? 】

[You have said so, then I must read it. ] Zeppelin put white glasses made of the same substance on his soul. [Do I need to make any preliminary preparations? 】

As time goes by in human society, she becomes more and more human.If things go on like this, presumably it won't be too far away from Transformation.

【Get behind me, stand against me... I mean, be my solid backing. 】It is unclear what the consequences of taking the eight-foot Qiong Gouyu into his hands are, Griffin locked the door, drew the curtains and sealed all the gaps that might leak light.

【I see. ] Zeppelin immediately stretched out his long tentacles to form a net, wrapping the girl's soul.

Griffin stretched out his hand, carefully touching this ordinary looking jade.If there is really any trap waiting for her, the energy from the space stone will be activated immediately to block it out.

The gou jade touched by the fingertips felt a bit of cold temperature, and the moment of contact, the unknown unknown on the gou jade immediately became active, and they swarmed towards the contact position between the two.Although it seemed rough, it was not aggressive at all, but it still surprised Griffin.

She let go of her hand, and the active substance returned to calm, as if it had quickly entered a sleep state.Observation from a deeper horizon or consciousness shows that they have indeed moved before.

These things, which were supposed to be dangerous, became interesting in her eyes.After all, these energies did not look as dangerous as Mrs. Gao described. After trying several times with his fingertips to confirm that there was no danger, Griffin confidently held the eight-foot Qiong Gouyu.

Those visible energies poured into her body along her hands again, and it didn't feel like a torrent of energy gushing out like a tsunami as imagined.Although the remnants of violent energy can also be felt from the Gou Yu, it is only visible on the surface, and the threat is not unexpected.Even if the protection of space energy was released, it did not cause any harm to her.

This is so interesting!

Is my body mutated?A natural affinity for these dangerous energies?

The girl asked the ship spirit how she felt. [Can you feel the violent power? 】

[It seems... much smaller than expected? ] Zeppelin is not very sure about this, it is far from the thrilling scene she imagined when merging the Rubik's Cube. [It doesn't give me the feeling I should have when I was eroded by the abyss, the world-weary feeling flooded by a lot of negative emotions.Instead, it was an 'ah, but that' feeling.Is my threshold getting high?Or are they not part of the same energy? 】

Griffin sees it differently.

[No, I feel exactly the opposite.I can feel what I felt from you when we met.Maybe you have been in the process of erosion for a long time, so you subconsciously ignored this feeling? 】

Gou Yuzhong's negative emotions do exist, but they don't feel that strong to her. "Extremeization" is far from reaching the danger of being irreversible.

Sure enough, as Mrs. Gao said, this is being drained, right?

[You mean there is a problem with my cognition? 】

As a warship, Zeppelin's perception is not as sensitive as that of humans. It is understandable that she cannot feel subtle changes.

[It may also be a special situation that occurs when one is hopeful first and then on the verge of despair. 】The girl comforted the ship spirit. 【Didn't you live in such an environment? 】

[Indeed, without you, I would be swallowed by the abyss.I can't even imagine what I would be like. 】

[Then we would have no chance to meet each other, and without your help, I would not have achieved what I am now. 】

Zeppelin asked: [Do you like your current achievements? 】

[It’s not like I like it very much. My current status makes me have to do something that is in line with this status.Whether voluntarily or voluntarily.During this process, the kindness we each owed is repaid little by little.This is a good thing. 】

[Good thing? 】

[It's much better than a working life with no end in sight, isn't it? 】

【...Well, I don't quite understand. ] Zeppelin's soul was a little dizzy.

[It's okay, ma'am, you can simply understand this situation as the difference between individuals. ] After going around in a circle, the girl changed the subject again. [Just like the sense of familiarity left in this hook jade, even though it looks harmless to humans and animals, the feeling of frenzy leads to the same goal by different routes. 】

[So, this is left by the abyss we know? 】

[This is not necessarily the case. 】

【Um?Why? 】

[The maddening emotion is not only affected by the abyss, it is not exclusive to a certain god.Take human beings as an example. Ordinary people also have normal emotions, and emotions can be felt by others.This is also called empathy. 】Griffin played with Japan's national treasures, turning them over and over to find something special. [According to the information I found, the extreme thinking stored in Gouyu was written by an extraterrestrial civilization. They regarded it as a scientific research achievement and applied it to the people on earth. 】

Volume 176.3: Is there such a possibility in [-]

[Is there such a possibility—this is the substance that the group of aliens extracted from the abyss itself or indirectly?That's why they are so similar? ] Following this line of thought, Zeppelin gave her opinion. [Because the degree of transmission and infection is not high, they can conduct investigation and research without being infected; also because they don't know the specific effect, so they chose the earth for the experiment? 】

[It is possible, but it is only possible. 】

If this assumption exists, how did they extract these?Are they drawn from reality, or from the spiritual world?Extreme emotions are like highly contagious bacteria. They can use this on alien civilizations that have no immunity to it. Is this a biological weapon?

To be precise, emotions are an external manifestation of the spirit, which can destroy the control of emotions. This kind of attack method should be regarded as a spiritual weapon, right?Similar to the nerve gas that the Leviathan group wants to release in New York theaters.

Perhaps this can also explain why Abyss took such good care of the two of them, and even gave him a fully opened map. It turned out that the old man wanted to clean up the mess he leaked.Thinking about it this way, I inexplicably feel that the arrogance of Abyss is a little cute.

The girl felt that she was about to be unable to restrain the urge to anthropomorphize the other party.

Although she has been nestled on the earth for the past two years without moving, she is definitely not fishing for fish. I have to recruit enough people to go on an expedition.

I and Zeppelin, who are favored by the abyss itself, are probably the only two creatures on earth who are immune to this.

As for why the Emperor of Japan, who consecrated the United Fleet so many times, was not infected by extreme emotions, either they got a certain degree of immunity, or they knew the nature of this thing very well, and took protective measures from the very beginning .

After all, idiots don't catch colds.

Then turn our attention back to Gouyu itself. As a Japanese artifact, it does not have any other special abilities. If there are gods on it, and the three artifacts are their devices to link their own people, at the beginning the artifact was When defiled they should act.But in fact they don't. The only uniqueness of Bachi Qiong Gouyu is the power of the abyss injected into it by unknown aliens.

Does this mean that jade is an excellent container for storing emotions?Although this discovery has little to do with the incident itself, the new knowledge gained by accident still makes the girl very happy.

[But whether it is true or not, we can prove it through practical actions. 】

Then she began to try to absorb the remaining power of the abyss in the jade. These homologous substances did not resist the attraction, and soon flowed into Griffin's body along the hand touching the jade under the guidance.In the sea of ​​consciousness, this black trickle was caught in the torrent of the soul, and soon disappeared.

【Do you feel anything? ] she asked Zeppelin.

Zeppelin thought about it seriously and shook his head. [Hmm... I don't feel anything. 】

[It is indeed as you said, this is the energy of the abyss, but it is only an extremely weak part, because they are fused. 】Griffin said with a smile: 【Maybe we will encounter this abyssal power again in the future, we can try to absorb and purify it. 】

Absorbing extreme emotions has no effect, and she speculates that it may be due to relatively high immunity.After all, both himself and Zeppelin have been blessed by the abyss, and it would be too useless if they can still be infected.

【We are not the scavenger of this world. ] Zeppelin does not agree, and feels that he has no obligation to purify the world.

After confirming that there was no residue of abyssal substances on the eight-foot Qionggou jade, Griffin played with it again before putting it back into the box.

"A very interesting national treasure." When she saw Mrs. Gao again, the girl handed the wooden box to her. "But I'm not interested in it anymore."

Mrs. Gao did not open the box to check whether the original eight-foot Qiong Gouyu was still inside, which was not the focus of her attention.

"Seeing that you are safe and sound, I am relieved."

In this regard, Griffin smiled and did not answer, but asked: "Can you make a promise in Japan's extraordinary power?"

"I can only do part of it." Mrs. Gao thought for a while. "In name, the Hand is a worldwide polar organization, and it has its own influence and network of relationships around the world, but this does not mean that we can control the lifeline of the world. Locally, not all local leaders listen to us .We don’t have that strength and status. If we narrow the scope to Japan, the Black Dragon Society won’t listen to me.”

This can be said quite frankly.

Hearing this familiar vocabulary, the girl couldn't help but say, "I thought they'd already been banned."

"It was indeed banned, but not everyone was sanctioned. The last time I received news was that some remnants of the Black Dragon Society had gathered in private again, and they changed their name to the 'Remnant Family Society'. Now they are absorbing the past The political legacy of the Black Dragon Society."

The girl raised her eyebrows.

This organization is also a heavyweight. It has cultivated many right-wing elements for Japan, and many of them have been passed down from generation to generation.After decades of development, it was too big to lose in the end, and even once coerced the Japanese government.Without banning this organization, it is meaningless to level up those shrines worshiping ghosts.

The Emperor of Japan, the militaristic Shinto religion, and the Bereaved Family Association, the three complement each other to form an ultra-right alliance entrenched in Japanese society. These three mountains that weigh on the Japanese people must be eradicated.Without doing so, Japan will not be able to talk about truly repaying its debts, nor will it be able to live as cleanly as Germany.However, these Japanese people are stubborn and do not understand their painstaking efforts at all.

"Tell me the location of the remains of the keel, and I will dig it out for you. In addition, I need you to do one thing for me." Griffin thought for a while.Said: "Your Excellency should have a lot of financial backers in Japan, right? Recently, I am attacking high-level officials in Japan, and I need some...well, 'mouthpieces'."

"You really trust me. Although you are the guardian of the Rubik's Cube, you are too confident." Madam Gao said.The keel has not yet been obtained. Simply put, she is still under the control of others. She really has no reason to refuse to ask for help at this time. "Quite a few to be sure, including high-level ones you might want to deal with. But aren't you worried that I'll give away the news that you're dealing with them?"

Griffin looked directly into her eyes and pointedly said: "Everyone pushes down a wall, and everyone beats a broken drum. Because that's what you need too."

Volume 176.4: [-] Retraction Offensive

They already know that I'm going to deal with them. Whether you say it or not is the difference of N+1.So what if some tricks are understood?

Madam Gao was stunned for a moment by these words, the girl seemed to be able to see through her heart.

Indeed, she also wants to take advantage of this rare crisis to allow the Hand to gain a firm foothold in Japan after the democratization and reform in the future. Facing a reshuffle, it can be said that the ruling class will start from scratch. Operate as an important base camp.

She doesn't dare to think about manipulating the government to interfere in a country's politics. The main part is the interests of others, and most of them will not give in, but she can still work hard to replace the old Japanese chaebol.We must know that the chaebols who supported Japan's external expansion during the war were only split up after the war and their control was weakened, but they still maintained a loose alliance through marriages and other methods, and the real liquidation never began.If you attack these leaderless talents, it can be regarded as solving potential troubles for her.

I never said these things to her, but I just wanted to take advantage of her unpreparedness to create an established fact, and I was still noticed when I didn't expect it.It was as if he had been careful all the way, but he was caught right when he was about to kick the door.

"I'm not a saint who can't tolerate sand at all. For me, as long as it doesn't touch the core issue, I don't care." Seeing this, Griffin explained in advance to dispel the other party's doubts. "In this regard, we are allies. How much the Hand can gain in this reckoning depends on how fast you are, madam. But only your Hand."

Hearing this, the old woman finally had a comfortable smile on her face. "Of course, I totally understand."

She no longer wanted to care about the fact that she was at a disadvantage in the negotiation. Although the guardian was young, the way he acted along the way was quite mature. This was based on the strength far above anyone else. In the face of absolute strength, no one dared to take her words seriously.

Finally, after informing the approximate area of ​​the nearest keel remains, Mrs. Gao left.

At this time, the persuaded MacArthur's counterattack also officially began.

He followed the advice of Griffin and Kennedy, walked out of the barracks within hours of the second seppuku incident, used his good show performance to visit the family of the deceased in person, and improvised a simple but eloquent speech. The media who accompanied him throughout the speech also played an important role. Soon the news that the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Japan visited the family of the deceased was urgently published, and there was a war of words with the media under the control of the current Japanese government.

Both sides are trying to wrest control of public opinion.

Although the Japanese side directed and staged a collective seppuku drama, their original intention was to coerce public opinion and intimidate MacArthur to back down. Their plan was only to let the five-star general acquiesce in returning the status of both sides to the original state. It is the incitement to the ignorant people, and to stun the opponent in a very short period of time. There is neither the determination to confront directly nor the idea of ​​making progress.

When MacArthur launched a counterattack, facing the targeted American media, the actions of the Japanese media seemed a little hesitant.Again, in the face of the United States that defeated itself, the Japanese lack the courage and strength to confront directly, and once the trick is put on the table, the Japanese, which cannot confront directly, begin to fall into a disadvantage.

In this game, the family members of the deceased, who were originally the victims, became the targets of both parties. In order to prove their legitimacy, both MacArthur and the Japanese side showed great sympathy and preferential treatment.But the difference is that the media under the basic control of the United States can criticize the enemy and praise itself in various ways, but Japan cannot criticize their allied commanders in Japan too much.

In the words of Kennedy, who witnessed the whole process of the incident, "this is a battle that has been unequal from the beginning."

This view was also the common perception of many people at that time.

Most people know that the behavior of the Japanese is to shake the tree, but they still stubbornly choose meaningless persistence.

Judging from the current situation, Japan will lose sooner or later, but their persistence can greatly slow down this speed. The reason why they did not give up is to wait for a possible turnaround.

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, MacArthur decided to end the farce early.

He resorted to the second tactic, that is, let the media not only continue to intensify the touting of himself, but also re-report the changes that have taken place in various aspects of the Japanese people since he assumed the highest power in Japan.

This trick is very fatal, because the fact is that before MacArthur came to Japan, the quality of life of the Japanese people was really not as good as it is now. The five major reform plans he proposed for Japan are indeed an important part of the civilization of the Japanese people.

Thanks to MacArthur's efforts, the basic rights of the Japanese people have been guaranteed, the upper class can no longer oppress the lower class, and the human rights of the lower class and women have also been guaranteed. Such things as equality between men and women were even unimaginable in Japan in the past. Dare to think.The land seized from the landlords gave Japanese farmers the feeling of being the masters of their own country for the first time.

Even because of the promulgation of the Educational Law, more school-age children have received a good education.What they learn is no longer the learning content strictly screened and controlled by the government, but comprehensive and thorough universal education.

The Japanese market has received a large amount of material dumping from the United States, which has restored the Japanese table and inventory to a level that is richer than before the war.Japan's economy is also developing rapidly under the impetus of MacArthur's policy. Even if there is help from Japanese bureaucrats who have not been liquidated, but without this American friend, how can these officials who ride on the heads of the Japanese people do their best? May have cared about them?

During this period, MacArthur's uninterrupted visits to the grassroots have evoked the memory of the Japanese people's little father among the Japanese people at the bottom, and the image of an American who loves the people like a son has become more and more plump.

If the Japanese still had a little resistance in the first move, the second move left them with nothing but to breathe.In such a situation, MacArthur resorted to his third trick, which is also the key to the whole plan.

He wants the emperor to completely retreat from the front of the stage to behind the scenes, and cut off the emperor's influence among the people.

For this reason, MacArthur delivered a speech on NHK and other Japanese media, and elaborated on the roles played by the Emperor and Shintoism in Japan since the Meiji Restoration based on the materials provided by interested people.

Volume 176.5: [-] Sums without Refunds

After nearly an hour of argumentation, MacArthur finally came to the conclusion that Shintoism is no longer a pure religion in ancient Japan, but a tool of foreign aggression coerced by militarism.As the first governor of the United States in Japan, he resolutely does not allow such a cancer to continue to harm the Japanese people.

And he also slammed the bereaved family associations formed by the families of Japanese soldiers after the war, believing that they are illegal organizations with a bad nature like the Nazi Party. It is precisely because of their existence that the Japanese cannot face up to their past.All members of the Bereaved Family Association must undergo political review to prevent war criminals who may have escaped the trial in Tokyo from continuing to do evil among the people.

This news was a fatal blow to the newly established Bereaved Family Association. Born out of the right-wing Black Dragon Society, the Remnant Family Association, which itself was not clean, was declared an illegal organization by MacArthur and did not give them any chance to argue. The ninjas and mercenaries in Japan joined forces with the U.S. soldiers stationed in Japan to encircle and suppress their upper echelons according to the list provided by a secret document.

At the workplace, at the organization headquarters, and at home, these survivors who would have become the backbone of the Japanese right-wing forces after the war were almost wiped out. A large number of key members were imprisoned as a family unit, and those who resisted were assassinated. , or died of violent conflict, or disappeared mysteriously.Overnight, this organization, which claims to have 800 million members, was completely paralyzed.

And the speculators who originally had unspeakable motives had completely lost their power when they saw the bereaved family members. They were eager to get rid of their relationship, and they ran away, and the rest did not dare to appear in the open.However, they chose to give up resistance and run away, but they still couldn't stop the arrest. According to the information on the list, the ninjas of the Hand followed behind and wiped them out one by one.

During the entire cleansing operation, those war criminals who escaped the Tokyo trial and the Nanjing trial were all out of ten. This catastrophe, which was publicized by the Japanese media as no less than the Great Cleansing, was later proved to be evidence of all those on the list. Relying on his personal prestige and restraint, MacArthur did not take the opportunity to expand and exclude dissidents as the Japanese media advertised.In his words, normal actions "only those who slip through the net, not those caught wrong".As an American, it seems that the five-star general does not need to exclude dissidents in this way.

The inflammatory remarks of the Japanese media are also self-defeating in the face of more and more criminal evidence. As more and more crimes of the arrested high-level survivors and speculators are made public, conservatives and royalists The final dying struggle was declared a failure.

They no longer have enough strength to launch a new round of public opinion offensive.

In this good situation, MacArthur struck while the iron was hot, while severely reprimanding the survivors' association for conspiring to incite rebellion. Start soon.Although the fathers, brothers and husbands of these military family members committed intolerable war crimes in aggression against other countries, the current situation of the family members who are starved of food is completely retribution, but the helpless thing is that if these families are left alone, it will only make There are millions of unemployed vagrants in Japan, and they will all become factors of social instability, and may even give birth to a bereaved family association.

Both Kennedy and Griffin's opinion is to use these people to atone for the sins of the men in their family by working hard.This proposal was adopted by MacArthur. He also needed these rootless duckweeds and turned them into votes for himself.So he listened to the opinions of the two and carried out the plan.

Cutting off the right-wing cultivating base of the Bereaved Family Association, the militarism based on this will lose a large piece of survival soil, so that the militaristic Shintoism attached to it has no reasonable excuse to move war criminals into the shrine for worship .

In order to disassociate themselves, or express their attitude, some shrines that originally enshrined war criminals also began to process those tablets themselves before the fire had time to burn them.

For a time, the whole of Japan showed unprecedented enthusiasm for demilitarization.

However, when two of the three mountains of militarism on the heads of the Japanese people were successfully resolved, and MacArthur regrouped to deal with the last one, which was the Emperor of Japan, what happened next surprised him.

In fact, after MacArthur’s efforts to build momentum and media wars, many Japanese have realized the role played by the emperor in the whole incident. Many Japanese have indeed given up their illusions. Reality shattered step by step.

But no longer believing in and worshiping the emperor does not mean that they are willing to completely end the emperor's lineage.
