Chapter 328 Wei Xin: Your Daddy, I once told you, in Donghuang, you were just a criminal.
"There are many reasons, such as you having Team Galactic drop dimensional bombs in the three lakes of Sinnoh in an attempt to capture the legendary three mushrooms, and trying to create the Red Chains, control the two time gods, create a new world to replace the current world, and let countless unsuspecting people do what you want for your ideals, no, I should say selfish desires."
Wei Xin recounted the crimes of the Red Sun one by one.
"For example, you deliberately went to Donghuang to try and take what didn't belong to you; for example, you put sleeping pills in Uncle Long's water; for example, you are the kind of boss I hate the most, who makes empty promises to his subordinates but never delivers; for example, you look a bit scary."
"But if I had to pick out the most important reason out of all the reasons, let me think, it would be that you are too unsettling, Akari."
"Uneasy? What kind of reason is that?" Chi Ri frowned, puzzled.
"How can this not be a reason? There are many organizations in this world: the disbanded Team Magma, Team Ocean, the soon-to-be-disbanded Team Rocket, or maybe Team Plasma, Carlos's Team Flare, and the rest—well, let's just treat it as children playing house."
Wei Xin smiled calmly. The Skull Team, the Shout Team, and the Sky Star Team were not very harmful; in some ways, they were even more beneficial than harmful.
He pointed at Chi Ri's face: "Of all the remaining organizations, you alone, Chi Ri, I believe, are the most dangerous and the most troublesome of all."
In terms of technological level, Team Galactic, which can research and develop dimensional bombs, is undoubtedly among the most outstanding. In terms of intelligence, Sun, who knows the creation myth, has the most complete information. In terms of ambition, Team Galactic's goal has been the entire world from the very beginning. In terms of personal charisma, Sun's appeal is beyond doubt. In terms of sphere of influence, Sun's Team Galactic is spread throughout Sinnoh; they are both dragons and local tyrants.
From a military standpoint, it is even indestructible.
"Actually, I originally planned to find some time to go to Sinnoh and talk to you, to see if we could cooperate on a deal, but since you came in person, it saved me the trouble of flying in."
"Cooperation, a deal?"
Red Sun looked around. In the conference room, all the Team Galactic members were staring at the two of them, their eyes filled with resentment, sadness, or confusion, but none showing loyalty: "You Eastern Emperors' deal, does that mean running off to someone else's house and messing around? If you attack me, aren't you afraid of a political conflict between Sinnoh and the Eastern Emperors?"
"Hey, don't talk nonsense," Wei Xin's expression changed, and he reached out to interrupt Chi Ri.
"First of all, this is Donghuang, this is my home, OK?"
"You guys showed up uninvited first, with ulterior motives. Secondly, as everyone knows, when playing games, never invite friends who might flip the table at the drop of a hat. Even if you have the ability to flip the table, it's still not okay. Of course, except for myself. Although I usually don't flip the table, it's better for everyone, but this is a special case, and I'm helpless, okay? Who wouldn't like their crush to be spending a relaxing holiday at home, and instead of coming to a meeting out of boredom?"
"That's just sophistry!" Akari retorted.
"You should be glad that I'm still trying to reason with you instead of blowing you up with a cannon," Wei Xin said indifferently. "In the end, it wasn't me who destroyed all of this, it was you, Chi Ri. You deceived everyone with lies. I just helped everyone expose your true colors. Besides, if you were really worried about politics and diplomacy, you wouldn't have brought such a dangerous weapon as the dimensional bomb into Donghuang."
Upon hearing the words "dimensional bomb," Akari's serious expression relaxed slightly, his face showing the annoyance one would feel if their mother had discovered a dirty little book hidden under the bed.
"How did you know that I disassembled the small dimensional bomb and disguised it as multiple devices to secretly smuggle people into Donghuang, planning to create a small disturbance during the tomb's development and secretly send people to infiltrate the tomb? Did Mars tell you, or did you extract the information from Jupiter? What did you do to my subordinates?"
Chi Ri spilled everything out at once. Even with his extensive experience, he found it increasingly difficult to understand this seemingly ordinary student in front of him.
Wei Xin is terrifyingly powerful.
"No, no, no, I didn't even have time to investigate. It was just a simple deduction. After all, the First Emperor's Mausoleum is sealed. Since you don't have the key, you can only forcibly demolish the gate. You can't just ring the doorbell and wait for Brother Zheng to knock on the door for you, can you?"
Wei Xin waved his hand, feeling ashamed, and quickly put aside the connection. He was surprised that Chi Ri hadn't noticed that the truth serum's timer had expired, and at the same time, he was surprised by Chi Ri's behavior and courage.
"You're the one who's truly terrifying, aren't you? You actually dared to bring a bomb to Donghuang."
He thought that without the key to the First Emperor's mausoleum, Chi Ri would have a lock pick. Now you're telling me you're planning to put C4 on the door? Who gave you the courage?
Chi Ri froze, his expression blank: "What do you mean?"
He immediately realized his mouth had returned to normal. Of all times, it had to be right after he finished speaking. He exclaimed in horror, "You tricked me!"
"No, you self-destructed."
Wei Xin looked helpless. He truly hadn't expected Chi Ri to be so audacious. But then he thought, Chi Ri's goal was the entire world. One general's success is built on the bones of countless others. If things really developed as he planned, he might actually succeed in the end. This kind of reckless, all-or-nothing approach—disregarding his own life and death—truly befits a top-tier villain, worthy of everyone's admiration.
No, it's not worth it. Those well-behaved children outside the facilities should never follow this example; the consequences range from life imprisonment to execution.
"I was just saying it casually, just trying to put a label on you. How did you end up taking the blame yourself? And your subordinate Jupiter, under my manipulation, has already fallen into evil—ugh," Wei Xin slapped himself and quickly changed his tune, "What evil? I'm the good guy. She's reformed and is currently on probation. I can ask her for a statement about the dimensional bomb later."
He turned to all the members of Team Galactic below the stage and said, "Those of you who want to abandon the darkness and embrace the light had better start thinking about it now, otherwise, you will bear the consequences."
"Even Jupiter—" Chi Ri clicked his tongue in astonishment, surprised that his most loyal and capable cadre had been turned by Wei Xin. He couldn't understand how Wei Xin had managed to do it.
There was no response from the audience. Although Chiri's credibility was gone, he was still a former leader. His subordinates had been manipulated and deceived for so long that it was impossible for them to change their ways in a short time.
Wei Xin turned to look behind her at Huoxing, whose eyes were vacant and whose face was blank. Having lost her faith, Huoxing was now almost like a walking corpse. Wei Xin sighed. This was the consequence of not downloading the national anti-fraud app.
"In conclusion, if it were before, the Galaxy team would have been completely loyal to you, no one would have leaked anything, and even if you failed, you could stick to the same story and escape unscathed. But things are different now." Wei Xin analyzed the current situation for Chi Ri, then looked down at the Rotom hanging at his waist, "Was the conversation just now recorded?"
"My lord, it has been recorded and backed up."
Chi Ri confessed to his crimes and obtained valid evidence. Although the methods used to obtain the evidence were a bit unusual, that was not important. What Wei Xin needed to do next was very simple.
"With conclusive evidence, I hereby formally arrest you as the holder of the Donghuang Illustrated Compendium, on charges of attempted looting of precious cultural relics from Donghuang, attempted endangerment of public safety, bringing dangerous weapons into the country, engaging in illegal assembly, and spreading dangerous ideologies."
Wei Xin took a firm step forward, determined that any criminals who endanger Donghuang will be brought to justice.
Chi Ri quickly waved his hand and shouted, "Stop him right now!"
But no one stepped forward. Those who had initially believed in him and were the most passionate and sincere in their hearts, after confirming that the person in front of them was indeed a Japanese, felt their hearts turn cold. The Japanese had abandoned them, so why should they protect the Japanese? Recalling the past, they felt increasingly saddened. With a sigh, they lowered their heads, unable to bear looking at him.
Those who knew how to observe and protect themselves wisely shifted their attention away after realizing that the Red Sun was no longer worth following.
There was no one around Chi Ri anymore.
"Congratulations, Chi Ri, now nobody pays attention to you," Wei Xin clapped and congratulated you. "You've got the peace and quiet you've always dreamed of. What are your thoughts? I'll give you plenty of freedom before sending you to prison."
"Wait a minute, Wei Xin, we can talk," Chi Ri said. Although he was bothered by Wei Xin's sarcasm and wanted to fight him, that was not the best course of action. He hadn't reached the end of his rope yet, so he immediately changed his strategy.
"I can immediately lead my people away from Donghuang and never set foot here again."
"Too late," Wei Xin sneered. "You think you can come and go as you please? What do you take Donghuang for? A public place? Oh, now you have another charge: tarnishing the country's image."
You're the one smearing us!
Akari internally ranted, clenched his fists, and calmly said, "My identity is special. Even if you send me to prison, I will eventually be handed over to the Sinnoh League. You will end up with nothing. This outcome is not good for anyone. How about we make a deal? You let me go and let me return to Sinnoh safely, or I can join Team Galactic. That's right, join Team Galactic."
Seemingly having found a way to escape unscathed, Chi Ri said excitedly, looking at Wei Xin with intense admiration: "Your abilities are outstanding, even comparable to mine. You should join the Galaxy Team. Yes, as long as you join, I can make you a top-level cadre, above the three departments, and let you replace me in leading the entire Galaxy Team."
"And my businesses in Sinnoh, even if I fall, many people will inherit them. They are not only short-sighted but also despicable, and may cause even more serious harm."
"You're using the Sinnoh issue to threaten the people of Donghuang?" Wei Xin questioned. "Chi Ri, don't you understand your situation?"
"That's not what I meant. I meant that after I succeed, you can inherit everything I have. Anyway, I don't have any heirs," Chi Ri quickly corrected, afraid that Wei Xin would misunderstand. "I didn't mean to be your father. I can give you the same status and treatment as me. Whatever you want to do, whether it's saving the world or ruling the world, it will be easier and smoother for you."
"At that time, you can do whatever you want in Sinnoh." Red Sun was in high spirits.
"Do whatever you want?" Wei Xin paused for a moment, his smile widening.
Wealth, fame, status, power, technology, and position—things that ordinary people dream of—are now within reach. Just relax your mouth and you'll have them all.
"Yes, that's right," seeing Wei Xin hesitate, Chi Ri smiled hopefully. "Given time, Sinnoh will be your domain, and even the Sinnoh Champion won't be able to stop you. By the way, you must like Cynthia, right? She's the Sinnoh Champion, and Sinnoh is her hometown. Once you become the head of Sinnoh, things between you two will fall into place naturally, and it will be a perfect match."
"How did you know I like Cynthia? Was I being so obvious?" Wei Xin asked, puzzled.
"I guessed," Akari admitted frankly, "but you can't hide your feelings for someone. Cynthia is a champion, but she's just a champion. Her influence is far less than mine."
Wei Xin stretched and said, "It is indeed a very tempting offer. In fact, I liked Cynthia the first time I saw her on TV. When I met her in person, I found that she is not only beautiful, mature, and intellectual, but also has a very cute side. She is simply irresistible."
Fearing that Wei Xin might have other ideas, Chi Ri was so anxious that he couldn't wait to make a decision on the spot: "Then it's settled—"
"But I refuse!"
Faced with Chi Ri's tempting promises, Wei Xin refused outright. He was indeed a worldly man and didn't mind cooperating with bad people. In fact, when it comes to interests, the line between good and evil is not clear, and the adult world is gray.
But there are always things that come above all else.
Upon hearing Wei Xin reject Chi Ri's invitation, Huo Xing raised his head, his lifeless gaze falling on Wei Xin. In a daze, he saw dazzling ideals and virtues in him, and even, uncontrollably, a vague expectation arose in his heart.
Wei Xin said, "First of all, Cynthia is an upright and rational person. Although she acts like an innocent girl in private, she is someone who will take the initiative to help in times of crisis. She is not someone like you who would harm the whole world for your own selfish desires."
His eyes dimmed for a moment as he recalled the contents of his diary; otherwise, he wouldn't have willingly stepped into the perilous reversed world when the apocalypse arrived.
He sighed: "Therefore, she would never like a boy who lets dangerous criminals go free for his own selfish desires."
"9
"Secondly, my social experience tells me never to believe the promises your boss makes, especially if that boss is an untrustworthy, lying, and despicable Gyarados."
"Gyarados—" Red Sun's expression hardened. Since the negotiations had broken down, the only option left was to prove himself. He observed the surrounding environment but couldn't find anyone who resembled Cynthia. If Wei Xin had come alone today, he might have had a chance to escape unscathed.
Wei Xin saw through Chi Ri's thoughts and reminded him, "Don't worry, Cynthia didn't come. She's currently in the tomb, happily studying history (unofficial history), or maybe she's playing exploration games at home. I also sent Uncle Long and Xiao Yu back. What happened afterward isn't suitable for children to see. Everything that happened afterward is my responsibility alone and has nothing to do with anyone else."
It seemed that every step he took was anticipated, and every escape route was blocked by a huge rock. At this moment, Wei Xin put tremendous pressure on Chi Ri, even more so than the Sinnoh champion.
"Going back to what we were talking about earlier, your being taken away by Sinnoh has nothing to do with me. You can still be a good leader after you go back. However, if what you do affects me, I don't mind going to Sinnoh to catch up with you. At that time, the laws of the Eastern Empire may not be able to protect you."
"Finally, I must tell you that it is written in the political textbooks of Donghuang that safeguarding national security is the responsibility and obligation of every law-abiding citizen."
Wei Xin could find a hundred excuses for his depravity, but few reasons to stick to his principles. Even so, he knew that some things were permissible and some things were not. The adult world was gray, but this world was different; it was vibrant and colorful, making people uncontrollably fond of it and unable to extricate themselves.
Wei Xin had only one reason for his actions: he loved the world, and this love was above all else.
That's it.
Seeing Wei Xin's righteous expression and relentless pursuit, Chi Ri frowned, gripped the Poké Ball at his waist, and decided to make a final desperate attempt. If he could survive tonight and find a way to contact Sinnoh, everything would be resolved.
"And, Mr. Red Sun, your daddy once said that even if you can do whatever you want in Sinnoh, in the Eastern Empire, you are just a ~criminal (smirking)."
Wei Xin clenched his fist, his dark pupils like volcanoes, with golden lava flowing deep within, about to erupt. A terrifying aura burst forth from his body, pressing down on those around him so that they dared not look up. The hem of his pure white trench coat fluttered slowly.
He said, "In a while, some friends I've never met before may come to visit Donghuang. I probably won't have time to entertain them, so today I'm here to eliminate potential problems."
