My Ability Is Role-playing-Chapter 355 - 351: King Meets King! The Profound Immortal Crosses the Sea to Visit the Prophet!
After adjusting his mindset and thoroughly understanding his position, Ogata Shitou suddenly realized that he seemed to have entered a New World.
No more pain, no more sorrow, only a sense of exhilaration. Every day, his thoughts were clear, and everything he did was infused with vitality and passion.
Because he knew that in the Profound Immortal Team, every single thing he did, every task he carried out, had meaning and could contribute to global peace, development, and stability.
No matter how small that impact might be, it genuinely existed!
With the right direction, every effort made one feel refreshed and joyful!
During this period, the work of the Profound Immortal Team indeed became smoother.
This fact puzzled both Ogata Shitou and Zhou Yu.
The Controller Group of this island, for some unknown reason, gave the Profound Immortal Team a green light on all their business, as if they had received some incredible benefits.
In fact, they received no benefits; they were merely permanently altered in their thinking through the means of [Enchantment].
Initially planning to settle scores, Zhou Yu and Ogata Shitou could only bring themselves to kill a few direct supervisors, unable to find a reason to "expand their victories" further.
Thus, utterly perplexed, the two, after handling their immediate tasks, arranged interviews with a dozen top executives from relevant departments.
At this moment, in the office of the Profound Immortal Left Arm, [Blazing Rock Funeralist] Zhou Yu.
A dozen well-dressed, self-assured men and women were seated, waiting anxiously yet patiently.
Five minutes...
Ten minutes...
Fifteen minutes...
After more than half an hour, the door was finally pushed open.
Zhou Yu and Ogata Shitou arrived together.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Zhou Yu said with a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes, "We’ve had a lot of matters to handle recently, you all understand, right?"
Over a dozen department heads replied promptly.
"Of course, we understand!"
"It wasn’t a long wait! We were afraid of wasting your time, so we came half an hour early!"
"Can’t blame you; it’s our fault for sure..."
There’s always a reason behind sycophantic behavior.
The high-level combat power of the Profound Immortal Team was enough to crush the Controller Group of this island, which was one aspect, and solving the Sea Demon calamity and killing Feng Yuji was another.
Most importantly, the way the Profound Immortal Team conducted themselves was too fierce; anyone standing in opposition never met a good end.
So, saying some flattering words here was quite normal.
Zhou Yu curled his lip, not bothering with these people, went straight to the desk, and began organizing documents, reviewing the summary of tasks undertaken by team members over the past two days.
Meanwhile, Ogata Shitou stepped forward, extending a finger to point out three among the department heads.
He said in a steady tone, "Suzuki Fumie, Nishikawa Hideyuki, Miyajima Ryouto, you three are hawks, the most stubborn resistance, always advocating a hardline stance against the Profound Immortal Team."
"Yet these past few days, your attitudes have suddenly softened."
"I want to know the real reason."
"Don’t say you’re afraid!"
"I know you, like our Sakai Tetsuya of the Profound Immortal Team, have studied Red literature, people of belief and faith."
"You have no families, few friends, and already possess the determination and awareness to sacrifice yourselves."
"Although I question your so-called ’self-sacrifice,’ I must admit, even though our stances differ, I have never underestimated you."
"You three are the oddities among the Controller Group’s oddities."
"Fearless of death, unconcerned with fame or fortune, and even your attitude towards power differs from other politicians."
"So..."
"Tell me, what’s the true reason?"
The first to respond was a female executive.
"Because of reason."
Suzuki Fumie said, "Reason tells me that the Profound Immortal Team can directly disregard Superpower Neutron Bombs like the [Ten Fists Sword], and at the current stage, no one can rival Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan."
"After the Sea Demon calamity, I let go of my past pride and arrogance, realizing my own shallowness and stupidity."
"I fully realized that only S-level can handle S-level."
"Currently, Japan only has three S-levels."
"[Yin Yang Master], [Blazing Rock Funeralist], [Profound Immortal]."
"Under such circumstances, continuing to oppose the Profound Immortal Team is the most foolish suicidal behavior."
"Politicians like me have become scarce on this island."
"For the people, I cannot die."
"I must retain my useful self, for the welfare of the people!"
Suzuki Fumie was a well-proportioned woman with ordinary looks.
Through good body management, it was clear she was disciplined, with high self-control.
Ogata Shitou knew this woman ate only three boiled eggs for three meals a day, without even vegetables, relying on compound tablets for vitamins.
Being ruthless to others isn’t truly ruthless; being ruthless to oneself is true ruthlessness.
And Suzuki Fumie was such a person.
"Very well, I am satisfied with your answer."
Ogata Shitou nodded slightly and looked at the other two: "Speak, what are your reasons?"
Upon his words, Nishikawa Hideyuki, a middle-aged man, sighed: "Because of compassion and mercy."
"The great force of the Profound Immortal Team is established. Continuing the struggle would harm the innocent, and all of that would become my sin."
Ogata Shitou said nothing, turning his head to the last person.
That was a young man named Miyajima Ryouto, a mere thirty-two years old, already holding a high position, a capable, skilled person.
Miyajima Ryouto did not waste time, speaking simply and clearly: "Because of guilt."
"Although it was not I who made the decisions, when the situation demanded me to speak, I chose silence."
"In my view, I should be responsible for the deaths of those three hundred thousand innocent civilians."
These three department heads, brought forth as representatives, each provided compelling reasons and successfully convinced Ogata Shitou.
Including Zhou Yu, who was working while listening, they all believed that the sudden intelligence of the Controller Group on this island stemmed from reason, mercy, or guilt.
However, the true reason was simply two words—[Enchantment].
No one knew this, except Ma Ran.
"Today’s invitation is not just about these minor matters."
Ogata Shitou, expressionless, scrutinized the crowd, his tone carrying a threat: "Tomorrow, I will accompany Lord Profound Immortal on a cross-sea journey to China, to meet with the Prophet in Korea, handling some important matters."
"This is a crucial moment of [King sees King]."
"Whoever dares to stir trouble and disrupt stability at this time, they will be my target when I return!"
"Did you hear me?"
Everyone immediately responded, assuring that they would absolutely cooperate with the Profound Immortal Team’s directives and ensure no issues would arise at such a time.
