Since Liu Xing had habitually turned on the speakerphone, Hu Li, who was standing nearby, had also closed his eyes and started to carefully sense the aura of Thousand Face. After a mont, Hu Li spoke up, "If nothing unexpected happens, Thousand Face is still in the official office building in the Shinjuku district."
Liu Xing nodded and relayed Hu Li’s words to OkoHayato. "Okay, if possible, please ask your friend Ryuusei to keep an eye on Thousand Face’s movents. If Thousand Face heads north, please let us know, because Inukai Abe is currently receiving treatnt at a non-public underground public hospital. However, we will later announce that Inukai Abe is being treated at another hospital in the southern part of Tokyo, as you know, the recent major earthquake has caused so malfunctions in several units of the Fukushima nuclear power plant, and various forces are now waiting for Inukai Abe to hold a press conference, so we can’t let Inukai Abe receive treatnt secretly." OkoHayato said seriously.
Liu Xing thought for a mont and decided to ask OkoHayato a rather sensitive question, "Uh, Officer Oko, how serious are the problems with the units at the Fukushima nuclear power plant? Is there a risk of nuclear leakage or even the possibility of a nuclear explosion?"
After a mont of silence, OkoHayato sighed and said, "Although the problems with the units at the Fukushima nuclear power plant are currently minor, since the employees there are already in a dire situation, if no one cos to handle these small problems for a long ti, these small problems will be 100% dragged into major problems. At that ti, the possibility of a nuclear leakage accident at the Fukushima nuclear power plant will be 100%, and the probability of a nuclear explosion accident will be over 50%, as the situation inside the Fukushima nuclear power plant is currently very complex."
Liu Xing sighed, it seems that the nuclear leakage accident at the Fukushima nuclear power plant is now unstoppable, as the only people left inside the Fukushima nuclear power plant should be Ooyama and the other believers of the Deep Diving Society, and they are unlikely to take the ti to deal with the problematic units in the midst of the chaos, not to ntion they are not professionals. "Okay, Ryuusei, we’ll talk more later. Now I need to go with my superior to escort Inukai Abe." OkoHayato said and then hung up the phone. Liu Xing had planned to ask OkoHayato if he knew anything about the Freemasons, but OkoHayato hung up the phone so quickly, it seems that Inukai Abe’s situation is not optimistic. But then again, Inukai Abe is essentially just an ordinary old man in his 60s, and it’s already a miracle that he didn’t lose his life after unexpectedly falling down the stairs and hitting his head.
However, the timing of Inukai Abe’s injury is now extrely delicate, as the Fukushima earthquake and the Fukushima nuclear power plant issues still need Inukai Abe to step forward and resolve them. But now Inukai Abe is certainly unable to handle these matters, so they can only be handed over to Inukai Abe’s cabinet.
But Liu Xing discovered a problem from "Watanabe Ryuusei’s" mory - that the mbers of Inukai Abe’s cabinet are basically from public families, because Inukai Abe’s own ancestors were also from public families. Although they were not recognized as public families during the implentation of the aristocratic policy in the Island Nation, Inukai Abe was still tacitly regarded as a representative of the public families. So when Inukai Abe took office as the leader of the Island Nation and announced the cabinet list, many people said that Inukai Abe was just a dog raised by the public families. Of course, the mbers of the opposition party in the Island Nation are mainly from the warrior families.
It seems that the "Public-Warrior Conflict" in this parallel world is indeed about to be triggered. Because if Inukai Abe dies at this ti, it ans that the triggering conditions for the "Public-Warrior Conflict" have been fully t, as the condition of "having a player from the Cthulhu region in both the public and warrior family factions" has been implicitly fulfilled, and the control of the United States of Arica over the Island Nation has already beco nominal.
Because as long as the "Public-Warrior Conflict" begins, the secret cult and mythical creatures of the Island Nation will join the public and warrior factions. At that ti, the United States of Arica, which has already been defeated in the Cosmic Country, should choose to withdraw from the "Public-Warrior Conflict" if it doesn’t go crazy, because even if the United States of Arica chooses to join a certain faction, in the end it won’t be able to gain any benefits.
Liu Xing stroked his chin, and from the current situation, it seems that which faction his group will join depends on OkoHayato’s stance, because his group currently does not know anyone from the public or warrior families, but OkoHayato will definitely be courted by a certain faction, so his group will receive an invitation from OkoHayato next.
"If Inukai Abe dies this ti, the situation will only get worse, because according to the relevant regulations of the Island Nation, when the leader of the Island Nation dies unexpectedly or is unable to continue to govern during his term of office, the cabinet will temporarily take charge of all affairs of the Island Nation, but in any case, a new round of Island Nation leader elections will be held within 15 days," Ling Ishikawa suddenly said.
Liu Xing couldn’t help but frown, because this regulation is clearly paving the way for the subsequent "Public-Warrior Conflict", as the new round of Island Nation leader elections will certainly lead to the opposition of the parties supported by the warrior and public families. If so incidents occur during the election campaign, the original election will turn into a farce. In the end, the warrior and public families may simultaneously declare themselves the new ruling party of the Island Nation, and the local officials of the Island Nation will also start to take sides, and from then on, the Island Nation will have two governnts. This is the standard process of the "Public-Warrior Conflict" in other parallel worlds.
Liu Xing sighed and stood up, saying, "These matters are no longer what we ordinary people should be concerned about, so let’s focus on the present and go out to buy more food. After all, the possibility of a nuclear leakage accident at the Fukushima nuclear power plant has reached 100%, so we must prepare more food and drinking water at ho."
As Liu Xing spoke, he took out his mobile phone and called Honekawa Suneo to inform him of the current situation. Liu Xing felt that although he was a hands-off boss, he couldn’t just ignore his own followers. Moreover, the news report from Yomiuri Shimbun was already widely known among the people of the Island Nation, so having his Worshipers of the Yellow Sect followers evacuate wouldn’t be labeled as "spreading rumors." Furthermore, if handled properly, this "accurate prediction" of his could even increase the number of fanatical believers in the Worshipers of the Yellow Sect. Since the "Public-Warrior Conflict" has now almost beco a foregone conclusion, Liu Xing also felt that he should cultivate his Worshipers of the Yellow Sect well, in order to gain more benefits during the "Public-Warrior Conflict," as the Worshipers of the Yellow Sect will be his most important trump card.
Honekawa Suneo understood Liu Xing’s thoughts and imdiately said that he would quickly plan a suitable sche to enhance Liu Xing’s status among the Worshipers of the Yellow Sect believers. Of course, Liu Xing didn’t forget to ask Honekawa Suneo to send so food and drinking water, as Liu Xing knew that the nearby convenience stores and supermarkets would be crowded with people rushing to buy food and water due to the panic about the impending Fukushima nuclear power plant accident. However, despite this, Liu Xing and the others still decided to go downstairs to buy so things, as they basically didn’t eat at ho, so there was only so snacks at ho, and they didn’t have a single bottle of drinking water.
When Liu Xing and the others ca downstairs, they found that the passers-by all looked hurried, and many people were carrying various food and drinking water. It seems that Yomiuri Shimbun’s report had instantly boosted the GDP of the Island Nation. Fortunately, there were many convenience stores and supermarkets around the Tokyo Comprehensive University, and the consumption level of the students was not high, so Liu Xing and the others were still able to buy a lot of food and drinking water, enough for them to stay at ho for ten days to half a month.
At the sa ti, as Liu Xing was just checking out at the supermarket, he heard a middle-aged man nearby say, "What? Inukai Abe was hospitalized due to the earthquake?!"
Upon hearing this, all the surrounding people, including Liu Xing, took out their mobile phones to search for related news, and to Liu Xing’s surprise, this news was not released by the official authorities of the Island Nation, but still from Yomiuri Shimbun.
Liu Xing couldn’t help but frown, because this kind of news should not have been released by Yomiuri Shimbun. The news about Inukai Abe being seriously injured in the earthquake should only be known to the people around Inukai Abe at the ti and the special police officers like OkoHayato who were responsible for escorting Inukai Abe. Even if Yomiuri Shimbun had obtained the news of Inukai Abe’s injury through so channels, a major dia like Yomiuri Shimbun should not have released it before the official announcent, as they are not so tabloid that can just publish any news.
So Liu Xing is certain that there is sothing wrong with this Yomiuri Shimbun report. It seems that the aristocratic families behind Yomiuri Shimbun should all belong to the warrior families. Thinking about this, Liu Xing couldn’t help but sigh, the Island Nation has indeed lived up to the saying "the smaller the temple, the bigger the demons, the shallower the pond, the more turtles." They haven’t even resolved the mythical creatures inside the Fukushima nuclear power plant yet, and they have already started to fight for power and profit.
After all, once Yomiuri Shimbun released this news, it ans they didn’t give the Island Nation governnt a chance to "smooth over" the news about Inukai Abe’s injury, so now the Island Nation governnt can only directly release the news of Inukai Abe’s injury. Sure enough, Liu Xing refreshed the webpage and found that the Island Nation governnt had already announced Inukai Abe’s hospitalization due to injury, and the major and minor affairs of the Island Nation had been handed over to Inukai Abe’s cabinet mbers to handle.
Seeing this, Liu Xing suddenly understood Yomiuri Shimbun’s true intention, which was to undermine the public’s satisfaction with Inukai Abe’s cabinet mbers, thereby weakening the public’s support for the ruling party. Because from the current situation, even if Inukai Abe doesn’t die this ti, he will still have to resign due to serious injury, or be forced to resign, and then a re-election of the Island Nation’s leader will be imminent.
Originally, if Yomiuri Shimbun didn’t leak this news, the Island Nation governnt could have just said that Inukai Abe only suffered minor injuries and is currently hospitalized for rest. In that case, so of the responsibility for the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident could have been shifted to Inukai Abe, and his cabinet mbers could have taken on less responsibility. After all, the ruling party’s candidate in the upcoming new round of Island Nation leader elections should be one of Inukai Abe’s cabinet mbers. But now, Yomiuri Shimbun’s news has basically thrown all the responsibility for the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident onto Inukai Abe’s cabinet mbers, so they can basically forget about participating in the new round of Island Nation leader elections.
Liu Xing shook his head and was about to et up with Zhang Jingxu and the others, carrying the things he had bought. But at that mont, Liu Xing saw the siblings Mu Yao and Su Ziche walking and chatting on the other side of the street, but they didn’t have anything in their hands, and they weren’t heading back to school either.
Are Mu Yao and the others planning to go sowhere to discuss sothing?
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, suddenly rembering that the direction Mu Yao and the others were heading was towards the Shudu Restaurant. But Liu Xing imdiately shook his head, because Mu Yao and the others shouldn’t be going to the Shudu Restaurant, since Zhang Shiwu is currently working part-ti there. Unless Zhang Shiwu is also a mber of the Freemasons, Mu Yao and the others shouldn’t be going to the Shudu Restaurant to discuss matters. After all, an organization like the Freemasons must have prepared a dedicated safe point for Mu Yao and the others to discuss issues and seek refuge in ergencies.
With a puzzled look, Liu Xing t up with Zhang Jingxu and the others, and Ling Ishikawa asked, "Ryuusei, what’s wrong with you?"
Liu Xing thought for a mont and told them about seeing Mu Yao and the others. At this point, Lu Tianya suddenly said, "Mu Yao and the others should be going to a dessert shop on the sa street as the Shudu Restaurant. Last ti when I went shopping with ng ngzi and Mu Yao, we rested at that dessert shop. It’s quite strange, as the shop only has one table, so they only serve one group of custors at a ti. You need to make a reservation to go there. The most important thing is that I heard from ng ngzi that Mu Yao is a regular custor at that dessert shop."
