After asking this, Su Mu became more interested in what happened to Shuntaro Linda.

What internal regulations did this person violate?

Shuntaro Linda: "I am a very curious person and I am very interested in those deep-sea substances. In order to find out their source, I conducted some investigations in private. However, the deeper I investigated, the more I became, the more I was afraid. But once things started, I couldn't stop. It seemed like I was obsessed with ghosts. I had a voice in my heart, urging and even forcing me to investigate the truth."

"I couldn't help it, so I hacked the administrator's authority and broke into the company's most core secret database without authorization. Now that I think about it, I really regret it. Curiosity ruined me and also implicated the person I love. I'm sorry, I deserve to die!"

Su Mu asked: "What did you find in the database?"

"Some absolutely taboo information. I finally understand what the research on the deep sea is like."

Shuntaro Linda's face was pale, and his hands holding the cigarette were trembling slightly.

"I found that what we have stolen for a long time is an incredible and indescribable great power. Our cockroach-like stealing behavior may be too small for the great existence in the deep sea to attract attention. But perhaps one day, He will take a little attention on our heads, and that will be our end. The whole world may be destroyed by it..."

Su Mu can understand the feelings of Shuntaro Linda.

It is a profound sense of fear of the unknown. Faced with the huge unknown, I constantly recognize its true nature, recognize the desperate vastness beyond my own understanding, and feel my own weakness, pitiful, and helplessness.

Just like when he saw the monster with seven horns in the cave in Yukon, the vastness that came to his face deeply compressed himself, and he felt that he was so small that he was not worth mentioning.

That feeling is like facing the boundless sea, bottomless, helpless, and at a loss. In front of you is the boundless sea line, and under your feet is the bottomless abyss.

"Tell me what information you have obtained from the research."

Shuntaro Linda began to recall: "That was definitely a dark history, terriblely black..."

About 170 years ago, during the reign of Emperor Takayasu of Japan.

One day, a pitch-black Western sailboat appeared on the sea near Uraga, causing a commotion.

Those who set foot on Japan's territory include navigators, mercenaries, and adventurers.

Among them, a small number of mysterious believers from Britain.

These people claimed to belong to a religious group called the "Healing Church" and came from a city called "Anan" in central Britain. They were very interested in the legend of the eight million gods in Japan, searching for the remains of God everywhere, and pursuing the so-called "blood of the superiors."

They really found it.

In the north of Wakasa Kingdom, there is a story about 800 bhikkhuni. It is said that she surrendered the blood of a mermaid and lived forever, and finally disappeared into a bottomless cave in Wakasa Bay.

"They stepped into the cave and had no news for a long time. Finally, the people who stayed at the entrance of the cave finally waited for a returner."

Shintaro Linda raised his voice in an exaggerated way: "That person, no, the returner, can hardly be called a human. His face was extremely pale, his head was covered with tinea, and his body was covered with cracks. Many worms, such as slugs, crawled in and out on his face. "Awe the blood of the ancient gods!" He screamed wildly, and at the first glance he saw the sun, he let out a shocking scream, and then attacked anyone he could reach."

Su Mu asked: "How did you do later?"

"Many people died before the returner was killed. However, the moment his blood flowed into the sea, the moon hanging in the sky turned into a dark red. The people who healed the church were ecstatic and recorded this omen. In their teachings, the blood moon was a sign of successful contact with the superiors. But now it looks more like the beginning of a nightmare."

Speaking of this, he looked at Su Mu: "Now you understand. There have always been people in Japan studying the blood of the superiors and trying to get power beyond the ordinary from it."

Su Mu felt incredible: "Will the shogunate allow such a thing?"

"The shogunate master Ii Naohime, who was in charge of the government, was unstable. He colluded with the upper class of the healing church who came on a black ship from the beginning, and had the intention of using the power of the church. In the sixth year of Kayo, when Perry's fleet entered Tokyo Bay, the chief old man Abe Masahiro asked about Ii's opinion. He replied, "We must adapt to the situation and actively trade with it" to promote the exchange of interests between the upper class of the shogunate and the healing church. It is said that the general Tokugawa Ieda was in a weak constitution, and Ii Naohime tried to use blood therapy to strengthen his constitution."

"The Mito vassal lord Tokugawa Shiaki opposes blood therapy and believes it is a Western evil path. But the general Ichidae has tried it, and the effect is significant. He was crazy about this treatment method and ordered a severe suppression of the opposition. As a result, Ii Naohime caused An Zheng Prison, and it was a panic for a while."

On March 3, 7th year of Anzheng, Shangsi.

It was not clear that it was snowing everywhere. 18 ronin departed from Shiinkawasu, Tokaido, passed through Shinakasaka, Kamisaka, Nakanobashi, passed Atogo Shrine, and headed to Sakuradamen.

Ini Naosuke enters Edo Castle, Sakurada Gate is the only way to go.

It snowed heavily that day, and the visibility was very poor. At around 9 a.m., about 60 guards were escorting and protecting Ii Naoki's sedan chair to climb the city.

When passing by Sakurada Gate, a ronin held a forged complaint in his hand, pretended to stop the sedan chair and shouted for justice, and quickly approached the sedan chair.

The guards of Jing Yi family stepped forward to stop him, but he suddenly drew his sword and killed him.

This knife announced the beginning of the assassination.

Another ronin suddenly opened fire at the sedan chair with a pistol and shot the waist and thigh of Ii Naoki Sai.

The ronin ambushed from all sides launched a raid at the same time. The sedan chairman scattered with a bang. Several guards wanted to move the sedan chair, but were killed on the spot.

It was too cold at that time, and the guards of Hikone's wife put on sword clothes outside the knife. They couldn't untie them in a hurry, so the knife became a fire stick.

The only one who successfully drew the sword was the swordsman Kashiki Tadasaemon. He calmly foresaw the danger, drew his sword in time, and killed three assassins near the sedan chair. But in the end, he was outnumbered and killed by pincers. Before his death, he strangled the assassin who stabbed him to death from behind.

When Ii Naoki was dragged out of the sedan chair, he was about to die due to heavy artery bleeding, but he was still beheaded.

Afterwards, Hikone Fan recovered the head of the vassal lord Ii Naoki in front of a famous mansion.

"This is the change outside the Sakurada Gate that left its name in history. This assassination was on the surface of the dispute between Mito and Hikone, but in fact, it revolved around whether the general should receive blood therapy. Afterwards, the opposition was suppressed, and the blood therapy party completely controlled the government. This assassination profoundly changed the fate of Japan. However, it was exactly the opposite of the expectations of those Mito Ryushi."

"From the Edo Shogunate to the present, the rule of the Blood Therapy School has lasted for hundreds of years. They used to be nobles, but now they are parliamentarians. They control banks, land, railways, factories, mines, schools... and the influence is everywhere. They gather regularly to hold communion ceremonies and share the essence extracted from blood. They are the famous Furong Group."

After saying this, Shintaro Linda stared at Su Mu: "How is it, you know now, who is standing behind Masao Fukiyo. Even so, are you planning to be hostile to them? Is there a chance of winning?"
