Chapter 1202
The Sextant's Greatest Despair: The Eunuch
Rokubungi Gendo lay sprawled on the ground, utterly disheveled, his eyes vacant and lifeless, looking utterly despairing as if the whole world had abandoned him.
"That dead eunuch is Rokufen Gigendo?"
Hilda raised an eyebrow, her eyes full of curiosity, her gaze sweeping over Sextant, her tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible disdain.
She had heard Cui Ming mention this name before, but this was the first time she had seen him in person. She never expected him to be so miserable and gloomy.
Cui Ming stood to the side, arms crossed, his gaze sweeping lightly over the sextant on the ground, and nodded slightly.
"Yes."
His tone was flat and emotionless, as if he were talking about something trivial, but there was a hint of barely perceptible disgust in his eyes.
"He looks like a very insidious person."
Hilda curled her lip, making no attempt to hide her opinion. The dark and twisted aura emanating from Sextant was clearly perceptible even without close inspection.
"That's normal, but be careful, this guy might be planning some underhanded tactics."
Cui Ming's tone was slightly somber, and he became more serious. He knew Sextans's nature all too well. Even if Sextans had collapsed to this extent, it would never give up easily and might do something underhanded at any time.
"Forehead"
Hilda fell silent for a moment, her curiosity fading and replaced by a subtle expression.
after all
She secretly thought to herself, "When it comes to insidious methods, it seems Cui Ming's side really has a whole host of insidious tricks up their sleeves."
Although those methods were all used to deal with invading aliens and never used on their own people, their lethality and insidiousness were far superior to something like a sextant.
Although both are about fighting aliens.
She coughed softly, suppressing her thoughts and not uttering those words aloud, lest she displease Cui Ming.
"That guy is the best at using people he can, especially after he became a eunuch. He's even more adept at using his family and such, without any moral bottom line."
Cui Ming added, his disdain even more pronounced, and recalling Sextant's past actions, his tone became more impatient.
When Hilda heard what Cui Ming said, she nodded vigorously, her contempt deepening.
That guy is really despicable.
Not only was he insidious, but he also had no bottom line, even using his own family members, which completely shattered her understanding of the world.
It's disgusting to look at, especially now that Rokubungigendo looks so dark, desperate, and pathetic. It makes me feel physically uncomfortable, and I don't even want to look at it again.
She instinctively took a half step back, creating some distance, as if that would allow her to escape the suffocating aura emanating from Sextant.
When will the plan begin?
Rokubungi Gendo sat in a chair in the corner, his voice hoarse, and he didn't look well.
His face was still deathly pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and his aura was still dark and twisted. He couldn't even sit still, and his shoulders were trembling slightly.
The main problem was that the sarcastic remark from Cui Ming, which stuck in his heart like a thorn, tormenting him day and night, yet he was powerless to do anything about it.
He had only one thought in his mind—he had to win back Yui Ikari!
He would fight with everything he had, even if he was mocked and defeated again, he would snatch Yui back from Choi Myung's side. This was his only obsession to live.
However, the elderly people from S who were at the meeting looked at each other speechlessly.
The group exchanged glances, their eyes all revealing the same helplessness and disdain, silently cursing each other in their hearts.
What are you thinking, you idiot?
Is getting Yui Ikari back all you can think about? Can't you prioritize?
The Human Instrumentality Project will definitely go ahead; it's their life's goal. But damn it, let's solve the monster problem first!
With monsters and aliens frequently appearing all over the world, Choi Myung is busy exterminating monsters and advancing technology. The situation is already unstable, so how can we have the mind to deal with your personal affairs? Now that you want to cause trouble and try to use the plan to take back Yui Ikari, we dare not help you!
Although we seem very powerful, holding the core of the Human Instrumentality Project and appearing confident, if anyone were to find out about our plan, especially someone as ridiculously powerful as Choi Myung, we would be doomed without even knowing how we died!
Cui Ming's strength is undeniable, and he's meticulous in his thinking. Once he senses any deviation from their plans, he will show no mercy.
Of course, these were all thoughts that these elderly people kept to themselves.
These were concerns hidden deep in their hearts, concerns they could never voice, concerns their lives, and the success or failure of their plan.
These things are impossible to say to that idiot, Rokufen Gigendo.
This guy is obsessive and crazy, he only has Yui in his eyes, he doesn't understand how to weigh the pros and cons at all. Telling him will only bring them more trouble, and he might even ruin their plans.
One of the elderly men, with gray hair, sighed softly, his tone dismissive and helpless: "Let's wait a little longer."
"Wait!!!! Do you know what I've been through all these years?!"
Rokubungi Gendo instantly exploded, abruptly standing up from his chair, roaring out in a voice filled with despair and resentment, his whole body trembling.
Over the years, he hid in the shadows, enduring loneliness, humiliation, and Cui Ming's mockery, suffering day after day. What kept him going was his obsession with winning back Yui Ikari.
But now, even these elderly people are making him wait. How can he wait any longer?
What does that have to do with us?
The elderly people rolled their eyes inwardly, their expressions remaining completely unchanged, without even a furrow of their brows.
The old folks didn't care how Rokufengi Gendo had been doing lately.
Whether he was suffering or tormented, it was his own business and had nothing to do with them; they never cared about it.
All they know is, "Don't do stupid things."
The most important thing right now is to stabilize the situation, deal with the monsters, hide the Human Instrumentality Project, and save their own lives. As for Sextant's obsession, it's just an insignificant little episode in their plan.
At this point, Rokufen Gigen-do could only continue to wait.
He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms, oblivious to the excruciating pain of his wounds being torn apart.
His face was full of resentment and forbearance, but a trace of undying madness lingered in his eyes, showing no sign of compromise.
The old people's perfunctory attitude, Cui Ming's sarcasm, and Ikari's distance—all the humiliation and pain were forcibly suppressed in his heart.
He knew that going head-to-head with the elders now would only be counterproductive and would completely destroy the only source of support for winning back Yui Ikari.
Waiting seemed to be his only option, but he was never one to wait passively.
However, Rokufen Gigendo also has its own little plans.
He had kept this plan a secret for a long time, starting to plot it in secret after being mocked by Cui Ming and completely collapsing.
He didn't tell anyone, including the elderly people who had promised to help him.
He knew that those old people only cared about the Human Instrumentality Project and their own lives, and would never genuinely help him get Yui Ikari back.
Rather than relying on others, it's better to rely on yourself, even if the road is full of thorns and you end up being shattered to pieces.
A sinister glint flashed in his eyes, and a strange, twisted smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
Cui Ming, do you think I'm just going to wait passively?
Do you think you can trap me with the perfunctory attitude of those old people?
Just wait, it won't be long before I take back Wei with my own hands and destroy everything you own.
His little plan, secretive and insidious, concealed all his obsession and hatred, waiting only for the right moment to erupt completely. (End of Chapter)
