The Black Book: Seven Deadly Sins

Zhu Haomiao: "..."

Senior Brother, do you have some misunderstandings about me?

You have even more inexplicable confidence in me than I have in myself!

Looking at the tasks Feng Zhaobai carefully selected, Zhu Haomiao frowned more and more as he read them.

Until, when reading the detailed intelligence of one particular task, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Target Strength: Silver Peak Level

Combat Style: Japanese samurai

Note: The target is cautious, possessing a strong sense of counter-surveillance, but extremely lustful, often lingering in various major brothels.

Lustful?

How lustful?

If we're talking about this, then I'm wide awake!

Rubbing his chin, Zhu Haomiao immediately made up his mind.

I've decided on you! Pikachu!

Let me see just how lustful you really are!

"Are you sure this is the mission?"

"Yes."

"The mission duration is three Virtual Moons, if not completed by then, it will automatically be considered a failure and re-enter the task pool."

"No problem!"

"Alright, since you've taken the task, more detailed intelligence will be unlocked for you, but you are not allowed to take it out of this building."

Handing Zhu Haomiao a thick stack of documents, Feng Zhaobai was about to leave when he was suddenly stopped.

"Senior Brother Feng, what's so special about this ordinary Japanese native? Why does the Yanhuang Armory need to personally issue a mission to eliminate him?"

Hearing the boy's question, Feng Zhaobai chuckled helplessly.

"Do you know what year it will be in two years?"

"Uh..."

Seeing Zhu Haomiao's embarrassment, Feng Zhaobai sighed deeply and softly uttered two words.

"Jiawu."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Haomiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and seeing his look of realization, Feng Zhaobai nodded in satisfaction.

"This guy is the head of the Japan Intelligence Class covering the East China Region. He's been infiltrating for over 20 years, connecting with so-called high officials and influential people, as well as high-ranking Qing Court figures, using his connections for intelligence work, and has now woven a large network."

"By cutting off this point, we can paralyze the entire Japanese intelligence network for a long time, a small cost for a big result..."

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao nodded thoughtfully and then asked doubtfully, "Isn't it said that the country doesn't have the energy to develop this Illusion Realm for the time being?"

Feng Zhaobai chuckled, "Although the country hasn't officially developed this world yet, we've been silently preparing and laying out some preliminary groundwork, or do you think we're stationed in this Illusion Realm for nothing?"

"Oh, so that's how it is..."

"Is there anything else? If not, I have to get going."

Feng Zhaobai paused, patiently looking at the boy.

"Oh, right!"

Zhu Haomiao remembered something, fetched a newspaper, and handed it to him, complaining indignantly, "Little Britain taunts us as the sick man of East Asia..."

Glancing at the paper, Feng Zhaobai sneered coldly, casually tossing it aside, unconcerned.

"The barking of insignificant dogs, nothing to be concerned about."

"Ah? You're just going to let it go like that?"

In the boy's puzzled eyes, Feng Zhaobai pondered for a moment before explaining.

"The weapon of criticism cannot replace the criticism of weapons; if you look at this from an individual perspective, then it's a matter with no solution."

"Any individual words or actions are pale; no matter how you prove yourself, they will turn a blind eye and even twist the truth to prove your evil and inferiority."

Saying this, Feng Zhaobai couldn't help but laugh.

"Actually, derogatory terms like this have existed in the real world for a long time, but after a certain point, they stopped mentioning it at all, do you know when that was?"

"When?"

"After the Korean War."

Taking a breath, Zhu Haomiao suddenly understood, faintly grasping something.

Seeing his expression, Feng Zhaobai smiled faintly and continued.

"Imperialism is arrogant; they don't understand human words. You have to communicate with them using iron and blood, and then they'll sit down sheepishly, listening to your every statement seriously, complaining you're a bit too extreme..."

"By then, there naturally won't be any talk of the 'sick man of East Asia' anymore, replaced by a powerful, evil dragon, a demon king threatening world peace, the source of all disaster, the mastermind behind the curtain controlling the world..."

"Of course, when they slander you for threatening world peace, you'd better really have the capability to threaten world peace."

At this point, even Feng Zhaobai couldn't help but chuckle.

"Until one day, you can truly overshadow the entire world, and the supreme 'Emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty' will return to his loyal Earth."

Zhu Haomiao: "..."

Old Paris leads the world by 200 years with a white flag!

"Let's not get carried away; there will naturally be a response at the national level, but we'll need to wait for the right moment. If you're feeling irate, you can vent a bit yourself, as long as it's not overboard, the higher-ups won't mind these small matters."

Saying this, Feng Zhaobai gave Zhu Haomiao a deep look and mumbled in an indistinguishable tone.

"After all, it's the Illusion Realm... having fun is most important for you..."

"Senior Brother, what did you say?"

"Nothing."

Feng Zhaobai waved his hand, leaving the reception room without looking back, reminding as he left.

"Take your time with the materials, come find me after completing the mission."

.........

Moon high in the sky

The glamorous neon lights flickered, covering the entire street with a layer of dreamy red glow.

Changing into the attire of a young master, Zhu Haomiao stepped into Shanghai's most famous nightclub, and was immediately struck by the [desire] within.

The ethereal desire reflected in the boy's eyes was visible to him, enveloping the entire building like a dark red mist.

But in the depths of this dark red mist, even more evil and twisted darkness quietly lurked, like a dormant beast opening its giant mouth of the Abyss, ready to swallow every living being stepping foot here.

Damn it!

How did I not discover such a good place before?!

Looking around, the boy took a deep breath of the sinful air, opening his arms in delight as if to embrace it all.

Everyone in here is talented!

They speak so well!

I feel just like being home!

"Sir, have you come alone? Is there any lady you're familiar with? I can arrange for you,"

At this moment, a welcoming waiter approached, bowing obsequiously.

Without even looking at him, Zhu Haomiao casually flicked him a silver coin: "Bring out all your top performers for me to see."

Quickly catching the coin, looking at the intricate Five-clawed Divine Dragons surrounding the words [one tael], the waiter recognized it as one of the recently popular Da Qing silver coins, grinning widely.

His monthly wage is just over one tael of silver, and here this generous guest tips a full tael!

Almost equivalent to his monthly income!
