Luo Shu paused and nodded:
"... Almost. This is the only trick I have that can temporarily control you."
To bestow disasters without reserves out of thin air, Luo Shu could only bestow elemental disasters, which would consume a lot of energy and might not be able to defend against the previous Kuang San, so Luo Shu really only had this trick to use just now.
"What if I meet you later?" Tokisaki Kurumi asked tentatively.
Luo Shu touched his chin after hearing this, and said after thinking for a while:
"Then I should have more tricks. For example, I can go to the hospital and meet some special patients and extract some control-type tricks. That shouldn't be difficult, right?"
"For example, the 'pain of childbirth' that is said to be the most painful?"
Seeing Luo Shu say this, Tokisaki Kurumi's eyelids twitched wildly and she looked at Luo Shu speechlessly.
"What do you see me doing?"
Luo Shu was a little stunned when he was stared at, and what made him even more embarrassed was:
"Sharon, why are you standing so far away?"
Sharon, who had unknowingly hidden nearby, said with a smile:
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I'm not used to standing in the light."
Could she say that she was afraid that Luo Shu would make her feel the pain of childbirth? She couldn't, but she could hide.
Tokisaki Kurumi said faintly:
"Lord Luo Shu."
"What's wrong?" Luo Shu turned around, looking confused.
At this time, Tokisaki Kurumi said to Luo Shu seriously:
"No girl will like you in the future."
"must!!".
Chapter 86 So, the funding issue...
In the meeting room of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Sakuradamon.
"That's the report on last night's 'cleaning plan'."
"Now, I declare that this cleaning plan has been perfectly completed!!"
On the podium, Tachibana Kirika, the commander of this operation, supported herself on the table with both hands and announced the end of the report.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was thunderous applause from the audience.
The representatives of various forces who were seated applauded one after another. The Minister of Agriculture and Industry, Fujiwara no Daichi, who was sitting in the first seat, finally breathed a sigh of relief and began their farewell "performance".
After everything was over, Fujiwara Daichi sent off the representatives of various forces and finally sat down, wiping the sweat off his brow with a handkerchief:
"Fortunately, fortunately, nothing unexpected happened."
Fujiwara Daichi patted his chest to calm down his emotions, and casually flipped through the report documents in his hand.
God knows how scared he was last night.
On the one hand, he was worried that this action would be exposed to the public and affect his future votes. On the other hand, he was also worried that the losses would be too great and various forces would cause trouble for him as the nominal leader.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly. The ghouls were eliminated, the cost did not seem to be too much, and there were not many casualties. Everything was truly fine.
While Fujiwara Daichi was celebrating, the Vice Minister of Affairs Fukuda Akira, who was sitting next to him, looked a little embarrassed and said to the Self-Defense Forces senior official beside him:
"117 people died and 1300 were injured, all of whom were members of the Self-Defense Forces. How can I submit such a report to the higher-ups?"
Hearing this, Fujiwara Daichi, who was standing aside and about to leave, was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and glanced at Fukuda Akira:
"Mr. Fukuda, what happened? Why did I hear the death toll was 117?"
As he spoke, Fujiwara Daichi changed the report document in his hand and said, "This report only says 17 people died and 300 people were injured?"
Upon hearing this, Fukuda Akira immediately comforted Fujiwara Daichi and said:
"Minister, there are deep reasons behind this. Anyway, let's sit down and talk."
Hearing this, Fujiwara Daichi frowned, but still sat down.
At this moment, he suddenly discovered that Director Ito of the Metropolitan Police Department and Takayanagi Michigen, the representative of the Bushin-shu, did not leave their seats, but sat silently aside.
Just as Fujiwara Daichi discovered this, Fukuda Akira next to him took out another report document:
"Minister, this is the internal report of casualties and losses."
Hearing this, Fujiwara Daichi quickly adjusted his glasses, read it carefully, and said in surprise:
"The data is 10 times more than the previous one. What's going on?"
"Did Director Luo from SDS provide false information about ghouls?"
Futian Akira covered his mouth with his right hand and said in a low voice:
"No, Minister, the information provided by Minister Luo is all accurate."
"That's the biggest problem."
"What do you mean?" Fujiwara Daichi was stunned. How could accurate intelligence be a bigger problem?
"Even though the intelligence was completely accurate, the Self-Defense Forces soldiers suffered heavy casualties due to their own quality problems and insufficient training."
Fukuda Akira said this, glared at the Self-Defense Forces officer beside him, and then whispered:
"Minister, the Prime Minister is not going to like this report."
Fujiwara Daichi said, "So, the previous intelligence was intended to conceal it from the Prime Minister?"
"Minister, how could you think that?" Fukuda Akira's eyes widened and he quickly asked, "How could that information be hidden from the Prime Minister?"
"Who are you hiding this from?" Fujiwara Daichi asked suspiciously.
Futian Akira said seriously at this time: "Of course, it is to conceal the local big families and those vassal races behind the Onmyoji."
Fujiwara Daichi suddenly realized, and then asked: "No SDS?"
"No, Minister, SDS does not need to hide it." Fukuda Akira shook his head.
A high-ranking Self-Defense Force official beside him immediately added in a low voice:
"The SDS usually gets the intelligence half an hour earlier than the cabinet officials do."
“Sometimes, we still need SDS to tell us some intelligence before we know the situation.”
"For example, this actual casualty data was sent over by Director Tachibana from Nishikanda. The one I got before is the same one you, Minister, saw."
Fujiwara Daichi was stunned for a moment, and said in astonishment: "Are you kidding? You are a senior officer of the Self-Defense Forces? Do you need Chief Tachibana to tell you about the casualties of the Self-Defense Forces?"
Hearing this, the senior Self-Defense Force official spread his hands and said, "It is precisely because I am a senior Self-Defense Force official that I need the help of the SDS."
Speaking of this, he also complained:
"Senior officials of the Self-Defense Forces have always hoped that the Self-Defense Forces would obey the management of the garrison, while the subordinates of the Self-Defense Forces have always believed that they can manage themselves. Therefore, under normal circumstances, they will not tell me and the ministers about the specific situation of the Self-Defense Forces, of course, except when asking for military expenses."
Hearing this, Fujiwara Daichi was stunned and asked, "Can the Prime Minister accept the Self-Defense Forces like this?"
Fukuda Akira smiled slightly and reminded him, "Minister, under normal circumstances, the Prime Minister often does not last long enough to reorganize the Self-Defense Forces before he has to step down."
"Oh, that's right." Fujiwara Daichi suddenly realized, and then complained: "After all, my old man has been in office twice, and the longest time he served was only 11 months. This time is indeed not enough."
At this point, Fujiwara Daichi understood the situation and asked immediately:
"So, why did the Self-Defense Forces hide the casualties from us?"
At this time, Gao Liu Daoxian beside him said faintly:
"Because they're afraid they can't control monsters and vampires."
"But I'm not afraid in the first place." Fujiwara Daichi stroked his chin: "The monsters and vampires are afraid of the garrison and the northern war zone of the Celestial Empire, not the Self-Defense Forces."
At this time, Fukuda Akira reminded Fujiwara Daichi:
"But the Self-Defense Forces need the ordinary soldiers of the Self-Defense Forces to think they are afraid."
"Otherwise, those ordinary people holding guns, oh, I should say ordinary soldiers."
"Without this kind of psychological comfort, they wouldn't dare to go into battle with guns."
Fujiwara Daichi laughed angrily when he heard this: "If you don't do this, you won't dare to go into battle? How would the Metropolitan Police Department dare? How would the warriors dare?"
At this time, Director Ito suddenly interrupted:
"Because the warriors can kill those monsters with their fists."
"Oh, thank you for your answer." Fujiwara Daichi was stunned for a moment, turned his head and thanked him, then asked: "What should we do now? What will the Prime Minister think of this kind of casualties? How should the compensation be handled?"
"If we don't report the data to the United Nations, how can we ask for the 50% funding subsidy?"
Fujiwara Daichi never expected that the issue of 2 ghouls could be easily resolved, but at the last moment they fell to the Self-Defense Forces.
A senior Self-Defense Force official nearby spread his hands and said, "The Self-Defense Force won't let us handle it. They will just add the number of people this time to the losses over the years."
"By the way, the actual number of ghouls currently on the run is probably less than 200, but the Self-Defense Forces want us to report a number of 500."
"This way, they can arrange their losses reasonably. After all, the next ghoul subjugation will not have the help of the mysterious personnel..."
"It's possible to do this..." Fujiwara Daichi had really seen nothing like this in his life.
For a little face, it can be like this
Fujiwara Daichi looked around, hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"So we're just going to hide it for them?"
Fukuda Akira coughed at this time and said in a low voice: "Minister, the Self-Defense Forces can provide 300,000 votes every year..."
Fujiwara Daichi suddenly perked up, looked around, and after making sure that everyone present was trustworthy, he said:
"After all, we should give some respect to the soldiers who besieged the country, right?"
"Yes, Minister."
With everyone's consent, the matter was resolved reasonably.
-
Nishikanda, Lycoris Cafe.
Inside the back room.
Luo Shu, Shim and Ju Wuxiang sat around a low table, each holding a poker in their hands.
"Three belts and one."
After hitting three 4s and one 3, Luo Shu looked up at Ju Wuxiang and said:
"What was the outcome of the follow-up treatment of the ghoul?"
"What's the follow-up? What else can there be? The only thing left is the money."
Ju Wuxiang threw out three 5s and one 4, then glanced at Luo Shu and said:
"Aren't the ghouls you arranged to have their genes adjusted? What, are you short of funds?"
"What should I do?"
Luo Shu waited for Shim to deal the cards, and also talked about the financial situation:
"Yukino Yukinoshita has sorted it out for me. The 210 billion yen from the funeral industry has been received. After deducting the 35 billion yen for the transformation of the 70 ghouls, there should be about 132 billion left."
"Oh, I was wondering where Luo Shujun got the donation, it turns out it's from the funeral industry."
Shim showed four sixes with a look of sudden realization, then said with a smile:
"Do you need me to help you with the funeral business?"
Luo Shu knew very well after hearing this that Shim knew that he had agreed to work in the funeral industry, provide ghoul corpses, and forge stolen corpses.
However, he did not point this out, but nodded and said:
"Then please."
At this time, Tachibana Kirika suddenly interrupted and said:
"With the money you have, leave some as a reserve for finishing off the ghouls. 30 billion should be enough. After all, it was agreed upon at the representative meeting."
