I only have family in my heart

Before Lan Tang came in, shortly after you loaded the file, the event: "Loyalty or Fear" was triggered.

[As the leader, my subordinates should be loyal to me.My word is the law.But how much obedience is there if there is no precious devotion?In times of crisis, slow or unzealous action can lead to disaster.Can I afford such a risk? 】

You are no stranger to this event, you can choose to:

【I will earn their unwavering loyalty】.

[Fear is a far more effective tool. 】

[I have more important men to influence. 】

The first option you always choose: [I will earn their unwavering loyalty].

You gain the status of "Generous Lord" for 10 years.

[The generous lord]: "Your subordinates' favorability is 10, prestige is 10, and gold coins are -35."

Then, you trigger the Lantang event:

[Respectfully, my leader: You made me truly realize the brilliance of the Gaotian group under your leadership.It is my great honor to serve you as your vassal.Signed, Arthur Rimbaud. 】

[Ranbo has come to your stronghold, you can choose to recruit him. 】

【Rimbaud has become your subordinate. 】

[You get hold of Rimbaud. 】

[You can put Rimbaud in the dungeon, he committed the crime of "betrayal".Your actions will not be seen as a tyrant for a valid reason. 】

【Rimbaud is very likely to be locked in a dungeon by you, he will hardly resist. 】

[A plot against your spouse has been suspended because the mastermind has been imprisoned by you. 】

You looked specifically, and after being imprisoned, Rimbaud's favorability remained at 60, which did not decrease.

……

I heard that a prospective cadre of the port was imprisoned in the dungeon.Except for Oda Sakunosuke, the rest of the cadres went to the dungeon with great interest, as if watching some novel animal.

As the former king of "Sheep", the grievances between "Sheep" and Port... can be said to be deeply entangled, and Zhongyuan Zhong is completely unwilling to let go of such an opportunity to mock each other wantonly.

The dungeon and interrogation are both the purview of the spy chief, and Tiao Ye Caiju can't wait to try the torture method on Lan Tang.Therefore, he thinks that Edogawa Ranpo and Nakahara are completely hindering his work.

Lan Tang said: "I will only tell Zhongyuan Zhongye everything I know."

Tiaoye Caiju laughed. He thought it was funny that a prisoner as a captive thought he could bargain.But just as he was about to speak, Edogawa Ranpo took his hand, "Jano, I have something to tell you."

Tiaoye Caiju was stunned for a moment, then followed Edogawa and walked out in random steps.

However, after Edogawa Ranbu pulled him out of the dungeon, what he said was: "Promise him."

"what?"

"Why don't you let Chuya listen to what he has to say."

Tiaoye Caiju frowned: "Why?"

"Because he really wants to join us." Edogawa Ranpo said in his signature natural tone: "So since he asked so much, he must have his reasons. The leader must also know this, Although I don't know why he was locked up, but I don't think it will be locked up for too long."

Tiaoye Caiju couldn't see through the truth at a glance like Edogawa Ranpo. He could only confirm the other party's mood and state through the subtle changes in the other party's body—just now, what he noticed on Lan Tang was only calm.

Confidently calm, as if he knew the Gao Tian group and the leader very well, and was sure that she would never hurt himself.

But there really isn't any deception.

He immediately let out a "tsk", very regretful: "That is to say, torture can no longer be used, and I planned to bring Akutagawa to an actual battle."

……

So in the depths of the dungeon, there were only Zhongyuan Chuya and Lantang left.

The young man with long black hair is curled up in a corner, his long black hair is scattered and looks a little messy. He has been stripped of the expensive overcoat, woolen trousers and fleece boots that he was wearing. At this moment, he only has a thin and rough set The linen white clothes are regarded as prison uniforms.

Although the young man's face was as calm as usual, when he looked carefully, he could find that his body was trembling.

Nakahara Chuya crossed his arms and looked at him mockingly with a provocative tone. "It's unbelievable that people from the port just ran over and said they were going to betray you... Do you think we will believe your nonsense?"

Lan Tang raised his eyes and stared at him for a while, wanting to see what is it about him that deserves Misaki Ichinomiya's love.

After a long while, he lowered his eyes and said very suddenly: "I know you are Huangba vomiting."

His skin was pale, and his tone was erratic from the cold. His current appearance looked like a ghost under the moonlight.

Zhong Yuanzhong was also slightly taken aback.

"I also know that the leader's ability is not "Ghost Legion".In other words, it's not just "Ghost Army". "

Zhong Yuanzhong also lowered his hands, his eyes became sharper. "What else do you know?"

so immature...

Lan Tang made a judgment.

If he was deliberately defrauded by the enemy, Chuya Chuya's rhetorical question is to confirm that the two pieces of information he probed are true information.

Lan Tang said slowly: "Looking at your performance, you don't seem to know that she has the ability of the time department, and can go back in time."

Zhong Yuanzhong also frowned.

He knew about the ability to go back in time, but Misaki only told him that it was her mother's ability, but never said that she herself had this ability.

He didn't believe in things that he didn't even know, but this enemy prisoner would know.

Lan Tang continued: "If I tell you that the leader has actually died once, and then went back in time again and again, would you believe it?"

The orange-haired boy stared at him, his eyes full of scrutiny wondering if he had gone crazy.

"Don't believe it?" Seeing this, Lan Tang's golden-green eyes brought a cruel smile, "Do you know why she failed so many times—because almost every time, she was protecting you."

……

Someone knocked on the door.

Misaki Ichinomiya, who was reading a book, raised her head and invited, "Please come in."

Only then did Zhongyuan Zhongye walk in.

There was something wrong with his expression, Misaki Ichinomiya felt that he seemed to have a lot to say, so he inserted a bookmark in the book, closed it and put it aside. "Chuya, what's wrong?"

Zhong Yuanzhong just walked to her side in silence, then bent down and hugged her.

His breath sprayed heavily beside her ear, and there was still a slight tremor in her body.

Misaki Ichinomiya put her hand lightly on his arm that wrapped around her collarbone, and asked with concern: "Chuya?"

"I just came back from the dungeon," said the boy.

"Ok?"

"That man... that man named Rimbaud told me something."

"Rimba?" Misaki Ichinomiya was slightly taken aback: "He told you his name is Rimbaud?"

"Well. He said that he used the name Lantang in the port before. It was originally a fake name. After he came to the Gaotian group, he wanted to restore the original name."

"Is that so..."

But her behavior of diverting her attention made Zhong Yuanzhong close his arms with some dissatisfaction, and hugged her even tighter. "Aren't you curious what he told me?"

He muffled: "Or, you already knew?"

"I know a lot of things, and I don't know a lot of things, which one are you talking about?"

"You can go back in time for this thing."

"I can't go back in time."

Zhong Yuan also looked at her in surprise.

What Rimbaud said just now almost convinced him, but as long as Misaki Ichinomiya simply refuted such a sentence, Nakahara would immediately stand by her side.

"What! Then why did that guy lie to me that you died once? And rewind time many times?"

"I have indeed died once, but it is not me who goes back in time, but my mother. As I said, that is my mother's ability."

Ichinomiya Misaki said: "She judges whether I have fallen into a desperate situation. If I continue to survive, it is just a waste of time waiting to die. She will go back in time."

Zhong Yuanzhong also frowned and said in confusion: "How did your mother know what happened? You said she is no longer here."

"She lives in my body, Chuya." Misaki Ichinomiya said softly, "When she chose me as her successor, a part of her will exists in my body."

It is said that the supernatural powers between relatives may be transferred, Zhongyuan Zhong also thought, although the relationship she mentioned is a bit strange, it may be a similar situation.

He said: "So, she judged that you have fallen into desperation many times."

"Yes. Indeed."

"In that case, why not use my power?"

Misaki Ichinomiya was slightly taken aback.

"Ranbo said that you could have won if you let me release the Huangba spit, but you... didn't let me fight once."

Misaki Ichinomiya smiled: "Isn't it natural to want to protect the one you love?"

"Are you an idiot!" Nakahara Chuya straightened up angrily and glared at her, "I'm one of the main force!"

"But... if Huangbatu appears, Zhongye may disappear. I don't want that. There must be another way—a way with the least sacrifice, or even without sacrificing anyone."

"This way, have you found it now?"

"I don't know until the result comes out. But in any case, looking for life is what I, the leader, should do. Just keep doing what you want to do."

"Like?"

"For example, Chuya, you should continue to investigate Huangba's vomiting. I know you are very concerned about your own life experience. Even if Rimbaud told you everything, but about N, about another "you", about The town in that picture...you'd better see it for yourself. "

However, after hearing this, Nakahara Chuya showed a look on his face as if he didn't know what to do. After a while, he sighed as if admitting defeat.

"Use me, Misaki." He hugged her again.

As the king of the "sheep", his strength caused him to suffer a lot of jealousy, and there were times when he really couldn't help but want to say it when he was ostracized by others.If you really want this power so much, then take it away.

When Misaki Ichinomiya confessed to him at the beginning, he also had doubts, worrying that she just wanted to use his power, but in fact she didn't like him at all.

but now……

"Use my power... I want that power to be used by you."

……

After talking with Chuya Nakahara, Misaki Ichinomiya went to the dungeon herself.

She watched Lan Tang keep rubbing his hands and breathing towards them, and asked calmly, "Why do you talk so much with Zhong Ye?"

Lan Tang looked very cold, his voice was trembling: "I just think it's a pity."

"pity?"

"You should have... won the victory in the previous timelines. If he has never known your love for him, I will feel sorry for you."

"I don't understand." Misaki Ichinomiya said, "Why did you suddenly choose to come to my side?"

"I just want to see what kind of future the correct path that Ichinomiya-sama has explored after countless failures will lead to."

The eyes of the two met, and their eyes were calm and firm, and no one was shaken.

Finally, Misaki Ichinomiya spoke first: "Because of Verlaine, you are very familiar with the programming of artificial soul control, right?"

Lan Tang was taken aback for a moment, but she didn't expect this to be the first thing she said after opening the topic.

"Not as good as those researchers, but there is no problem with simple writing."

"Then, please add a new control method to Chuya's soul." Misaki Ichinomiya said, "When Chuya is in the barbaric vomiting mode, as long as he is touched by me, his personality will wake up."

Lan Tang laughed: "Congratulations, leader. You have tamed an incredible beast."

Misaki Ichinomiya was noncommittal about this, she said: "However, I won't just let you out like this - do you know why I locked you up?"

Lan Tang looked at her, "I know."

Because I... indirectly caused you to die under the assassination of the port.

Misaki Ichinomiya paused, "Since you know, I won't say more. Did you reflect on yourself?"

He said hoarsely: "Of course."

Seeing this, Misaki Ichinomiya nodded: "However, self-reflection is not enough, please use money to redeem your sins. Mr. Lantang, how much do you think your freedom is worth?"

Lan Tang was silent for a while.

"To show my sincerity..." he said, "I can donate all my property to Gao Tian Group."

you:"!!"

You want to release him for a moment, and close it again after a while to see if you can give him a large amount of money.

Misaki Ichinomiya laughed: "It's really flattering - since you are so determined, I don't think I have any reason not to welcome you into our family, Attil."

She changed her address to him.

From Lantang, to Attil? Rimbaud's Rimbaud, to Attil.

From then on, he officially became a member of Gao Tian's team.

Misaki Ichinomiya said, "Now, can I accept your first mission?"

"Please order..."

"Go back to Mori Ogai's side." Misaki Ichinomiya said, "It's been almost a year since the last assassination plan failed, and we can try again."

"Let me do it myself?"

"No, no need. If you do it yourself and join Gao Tian's group, you will attract the attention of the Supernatural Secret Service if you succeed. If you fail, the port... will not let you go."

Rimbaud seemed a little moved by the protective meaning revealed in the last sentence: "Then, how should I go back?"

"You can say that you heard that the former leader of the port appeared in the Gaotian group. So you wanted to find out, but I was captured."

Misaki Ichinomiya said softly: "I will lock you up again, and then ask Mori Ogai for another ransom—how much do you think he will give?"
