Rihu's Pit Brother's Journey

Hei Si Mou suddenly had an ominous premonition.

It's a feeling that if you don't take action quickly, something bad will happen.

It's hard to describe this kind of sixth sense.Swordsmen themselves often experience life-and-death struggles, and often judge not by eyes but intuition. A part of biological instinct is honed to be quite pure, and the same is true for the sixth sense.

Hei Si Mou believed in his intuition, so he informed the system wizard and directly chose to enter the instance.

...the system elf seems frustrated, but that's okay with him.

In other words, can't he change to a system elf?

Hei Si Mou thought for a while, considering that he was not a real wage earner but was serving a prison sentence, I am afraid that this kind of system elf is already considered the minimum configuration for the prisoner, so he should just make do with it.

After entering the dungeon, he soon discovered that this dungeon had something like 'initial settings'.As soon as he entered this dungeon, he was greeted by enthusiastic local NPCs. It turned out that he actually had an identity in this world—by beheading enemies with his own strength, he became a general. The new daimyo, such an initial setting.

...Of course, Hei Si Mou didn't know. In fact, there was no such identity setting at the beginning of the game. It was completely the identity that his younger brother used the same face to give him in the dungeon in advance.Why daimyo?Because as soon as Ji Guoyuan thought that it was impossible for elder brother to kneel to anyone, elder brother should be number one!

... If Hei Si Mou had come a little later, maybe this place had already been united across the country.It should be said that his intuition was quite accurate, but it was a little slower.

Hei Si Mou didn't think too much about it, he thought this was the opening identity setting arranged by the spirit world.As for why there was no identity setting last time... It is estimated that some dungeons may have it, and some dungeons may not. The name is a game, but it is actually a spirit world system.It is also impossible for a person in the spirit world to have a suitable identity ready for him to use at any time.

Hei Si Mou also noticed the difference from the previous game. In the last world, he was regarded as a curse spirit by default... equal to a wraith spirit, and the true identity of the messenger of the spirit world was very detailed.In this world, people are regarded as daimyo by default, and they can also be regarded as people with real identities, so it is more convenient to act.

Is it because the task is more difficult this time?He looked again at the mission request, which was to save a person—to be precise, prevent a person from dying.

...As expected of a task in the spirit world, the last one was to protect the little devil, this time to help others?

For him who used to wind up the string, guard the ghost king, and kill ghosts and swordsmen, there is quite a bit of irony.Are these missions trying to guide him on the right path and make him develop the so-called "love" and "guardian" heart?

This is where Hei Si Mou finds the irony the most.It's not that he doesn't understand love, it's just that he's too tired and has lost the strength to continue to care about and love others as a human being.Just like when he chose to become a ghost, he also knew that Wu Mi would definitely use him to do evil, but he really didn't have the energy to think and defend.He thought that it would be good for everyone, to think and make decisions for him, so that he, who was ashamed, could have a reason to live on.

...it turns out, that was wrong.Now that he is able to calmly think about the past, he realizes that he has never eaten people before turning into a ghost, his childhood sweetheart Kagome Higure, and Inuyasha, who has only met him a few times, must have paid a lot.They even gave themselves the prayer beads that Inuyasha has never left. This thing is equivalent to the token of love between Kagome and Inuyasha, right?But it was given to this person who was not very familiar with them.

This kind of debt to others made Heishimu feel ashamed. He also thought about asking what happened to those two people after that, but he was afraid of hearing the ending that would make him regret even more, so he never dared to ask. Evasion generally does not explore what happened after he became a ghost.

... Wait a little longer, wait a little longer, maybe he will have the courage to face it.Not yet.

After adjusting his mentality, Hei Si Mou began to carry out his daimyo work.

In this copy, he is still called 'Jiguo Yansheng'.

Although the dungeon's identity is pretty good, but I don't know if it's the bad taste of the system engineer or what's going on. Judging from the information he actually investigated, the behavior patterns of the previous 'Yan Sheng' are very similar.

...What did Yuanyi do to impress the system engineer so much that he even referred to him in his identity setting?

Hei Si Mou remembered that the King of Hades had told him at first that he could reduce his sentence due to fate.

It seems that Yuanyi's status in the spirit world is extraordinary, and his influence on the spirit world is also huge.

From Hei Si Mou's point of view, it's not surprising that his younger brother can do everything casually, and he is extremely good, leaving others behind.He was allowed to live under the shadow of an outstanding younger brother back then, but now that he is in the spirit world and continues to be shrouded in the shadow of Yuan Yi, it may not be the most terrible punishment for him.

See, that's the price he pays for being a ghost.After doing evil deeds, he cannot be reincarnated and must serve his sentence. During his sentence, he will be shrouded in the shadow of his younger brother.This is the 'exclusive punishment' for this man, Ji Guoyansheng.As expected of the King of Hades, he knows how to destroy people's hearts.

The most frightening thing is that the current Black Death Moulian clenched his fists and roared angrily, "It's you again, Yuanyi!" He didn't have such strength, his heart was ashamed, and he didn't even have the desire to survive in the previous world. The interaction with Gojo Satoru made him finally have some interest in the mission world, but that's all, he hasn't fully recovered .

... Maybe becoming a ghost did damage his soul.

"What are these... ninjas?"

Check the daimyo of the file—let’s call him Iwakatsu daimyo here, and call his subordinates to confirm the situation.

...Why are the ninjas here different from what he thought?Looking at the description here, ninjas are simply mercenaries, right?No, far more powerful than mercenaries, samurai and the army are in name only, and even daimyo's guard work is dominated by ninjas.

Yansheng soon realized that the power structure in this world was different from his original world, even in the Warring States Period.As a former city lord, he can easily perceive the danger from the perspective of those in power.

Why did the daimyo trust the army and the samurai?Because the relationship between the two is a relationship with the daimyo, a relationship of retainers and loyalty to the master.In ancient times, no, even in modern times, the monarchs and ministers of the island people had very serious ideas about the power structure. It can be said that such ideas flowed and encouraged throughout the culture.If there is a heart of disobedience, there will be a huge "credibility" problem.

Why is Oda Nobunaga so powerful and outstanding, but the title of "The Sixth Heavenly Demon" has been handed down to this day?

——Even if you are very powerful and usurped the throne, in the eyes of the people, you are a person who has betrayed his 'credibility'.Even the master you are loyal to can betray, who can trust you to be good to your subordinates and the people?

Perhaps somewhat incomprehensible in a modern liberal society.You can think of it as, in a family, a hard-working child should obey his parents when he is a minor, because his parents made money and worked hard to raise you. If you join forces with outside thieves to stab your parents to death and claim to be the head of the family, what will others think?Who can trust such a perfidious person who can unite with outsiders to kill his parents?

Especially in the Warring States period, this kind of thinking of monarchs and ministers was extremely serious.The root cause is the chaos of war. Only the daimyo has the military strength and can personally command, or let the subordinate generals lead the army to protect the people. In exchange, it is a matter of course for the people to donate money, food and respect.And the general is only good at force, not good at governing the country and handling diplomacy, so he naturally relies on daimyo in terms of economy and diplomacy.

…Using a simple model to understand, it is a modern company, the role of the daimyo is the CEO, the role of the general is similar to that of sales, and the role of the people is equivalent to the production workshop and the staff of the company.In terms of function, the staff is indeed important, but without the leadership and strategy of the CEO, sales and staff alone cannot support them alone. They take it for granted that they respect the CEO who brings them the greatest profit.

Far away, in short, this kind of structure with relatively high loyalty is the ideal model. For daimyo, although there are mercenaries, it is absolutely impossible to use mercenaries as the main force.The mercenaries are likely to take your money to help you, and then take other people's money to help him beat you.It's like you hang up as a purchasing agent, can you trust him?He has three or four companies for the same product, so he may not sell you first, and may even poach your customers, sacrificing your interests to satisfy his own wallet.

"Yes, my lord, these missions are all for ninjas."

The loyal subordinates informed the city lord that these highly confidential S-level missions were all assigned to ninjas.He explained the reason. First, the opponents involved in these tasks also hired ninjas. They couldn’t justify using ninjas, and ninjas knew the best methods of ninjas. Second, the task load was relatively large, and it was difficult for the private troops of the daimyo to undertake. Execution will also cause heavy casualties, so why not spend money to consume ninjas?Three, the most important point is to give ninjas a certain amount of important tasks, so that they will have a sense of trust in their country - the country of the wind, and will not easily choose to betray this country and flee to other places, becoming another country. of armed forces.

Yansheng: ...

Even though he knew it was just a plot design, Yan Sheng was still a little annoyed.

There is still such a reason that daimyo relies on private mercenaries to curry favor with mercenaries?In order to fear that the mercenaries would leave, they gave money in the form of confidential missions to please?The power structure in this world is too deformed. Is the daimyo ruling the world, or are these ninjas ruling the world?Are ordinary people small animals being kept in captivity by these ninjas?

Even with the memories of modern people, Ji Guoyansheng, who is still very traditional and old-fashioned, cannot tolerate such things that exceed the power structure.

Yan Sheng took another look, and found that these tasks were all given to ninjas by the 'Iwa Katsu Daimyo' with permission.

...with my permission?Another setting?How many wonderful things did the daimyo Iwakatsu set at the beginning have done?

Yan Sheng casually dropped the task scroll in his hand, and began to wonder how many holes were buried in this background setting.

"What do you think, what do I think of ninjas—let's say this hidden sand village in the Land of Wind?"

The subordinates were confused for a moment, and immediately replied: "Lord Yansheng admires the ninjas in Shayin Village very much. He spends the largest proportion of his income on military expenditures on them, and often sends them missions between countries. He basically doesn't use our wind very much. country's own army to meet the enemy."

Yan Shengqi's fingers trembled, this must have been set by the system engineer referring to Yuan Yi, that's right!Why did you set the identity of the entrant as a daimyo, but also set a daimyo with a unique personality!Is this engineer a Yuanyi fan?Simply poisonous!His hateful younger brother, why does his soul linger after death, and dig a hole for him here!

Yansheng almost wanted to quit the mission, almost.In the end he convinced himself that he was serving his sentence, that he had no choice, that he had to bear it.

"I see. I'll arrange a reasonable reason. I'm going to Shayin Village."

Since they are ninjas trusted by Yuanyi, I will find an excuse to slap them bald.In my country of the wind, I don't need to rely too much on ninjas!If you have to rely on ninjas, such a country should be destroyed!

The author has something to say: Yuanyi put down his small shovel, wiped his sweat, and showed the satisfied smile of an old farmer who dug a hole before farming.

The first brother at the bottom of the pit: ...
