Chapter 403 Then Go Die
"Now, let's set off."
Nanba Sojiro didn't say much, but simply sent Hakutaku and the other four outside Nanba City to mobilize manpower.
Bai Ze didn't ask any more questions about Glion, but simply nodded silently and quietly left the venue.
On the surface, it was a banquet to win over various parties in Namba City, but in reality, it was a covert operation to mobilize manpower, block Namba City from both inside and outside, cut off Kazumi Muneshige's reinforcements, and take action against Kazumi Muneshige.
If the information hadn't been leaked right after the meeting, this ambush might have had a chance of success.
As for the true purpose behind it all, Bai Ze didn't intend to guess; he planned to find out for himself.
After Hakutaku left, Nanba Jiro also quietly left the venue and returned to his own courtyard.
He won't be present at tonight's ambush of Kamiizumi Muneshige, but he'll still be keeping an eye on things.
They had already arranged for people to broadcast the show live for Nanba Sōjirō.
Thinking of this, Nanba Sojiro revealed a meaningful smile, "Let's fight, the more intense the better."
What he told Bai Ze earlier wasn't entirely false; the general did indeed intend to purge those who opposed him. It's just that his purge was rather extensive.
The purge should not only target those who oppose the general now, but also those who opposed the general in the past and those who will oppose the general in the future.
Those who uphold the king's authority have been subject to purges from the very beginning; both in the past and in the future, they will always be at the forefront of the opposition against the general.
"Anyone who opposes the general must die," Naniwa Jiro said.
"I see."
A mysterious figure clad in a black robe walked side by side with Jiro Nanba, nodding slightly.
He appeared to be having a conversation with Naniwa Jiro, with the two exchanging words and answers. Naniwa Jiro also revealed that there was truth in what he had said earlier.
Neither Nanba Sojiro himself nor the two bodyguards behind him noticed the mysterious man's presence. Nanba Sojiro wasn't even aware that he was speaking.
"So what's the purpose? It can't just be a purge, can it? Or is it really so that the successor can more easily control the situation in Japan?" the mysterious man continued to ask.
"Purpose··...."
Nanba Sojiro's eyes were glazed over. "No relevant memories were inputted."
It seems that this clone only knows the surface actions, or that this part is enough for him.
The covert operations don't require his execution, or perhaps the time isn't right yet.
"Where is Nanba Sojiro's true form?" Hakutaku then gave the order.
"have no idea."
"How do I contact my true self?"
"have no idea."
"Then how did your original body input your memories and configure you?"
"The time has come. Self-destruct." Nanba Sojiro still wore that peaceful expression, but his words were incredibly cold.
He would self-destruct after completing his tasks, and then another "Namba Sōjirō" would take his place.
Throughout the entire process, Jiro Nanba's original form will never appear, nor will he come into contact with the clone.
Even if someone discovers that Jiro Nanba is a clone, it would be difficult to find his original through this clone.
"Yeah,"
The mysterious man nodded and said, "Then you can die."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiro Nanba suddenly stopped in his tracks, a look of pain on his face.
"Hmm"
He pressed his hand to his chest, his body swayed from side to side, and he was about to fall.
"President."
One of the bodyguards behind him quickly stepped forward to support him, while the other cautiously scanned the surroundings and pressed the emergency communication button on his hand.
"The president suddenly clutched his chest, seemingly having a heart attack. Call the doctor immediately."
At the same time, strange movements were heard from all directions, and shadowy figures dressed like ninjas appeared in the surrounding area.
The adjacent courtyard wall was smashed open, and two mobile machines rushed in, unfolding and transforming in the blink of an eye into two spider-shaped mechs with crimson eyes that gleamed as they scanned the surroundings.
But neither humans nor machines, no matter how they searched or scanned, found the mysterious person.
The mysterious man watched as the clone, Nanba Jiro, lost his life, but never saw the real Nanba Jiro appear.
There was no communication with Nanba Sojiro, and neither the people nor the machines around him informed him of what had happened.
"But you absolutely must know about the clone's death," Bai Ze said in a low voice.
This mysterious person was none other than Bai Ze, who had already left long ago.
He didn't attack Naniwa Jiro's clone before to avoid any accidents that might affect his plans.
Now that the control center of this landmass beneath their feet has been captured, Bai Ze naturally needs to pick up his previous plan again and start taking action.
Nanba Sōjirō is indeed very cautious, but there are some things that must be done no matter how cautious you are.
For example, if a clone dies, Nanba Sojiro's original body must know immediately to prevent any accidents.
Because not everything in this world unfolds according to one's wishes. For example, a clone may not necessarily self-destruct after completing all its actions, as it is programmed.
He may die in an accident, or he may die from an assassination.
The greatest significance of clones is to act as shadow warriors, dying in place of the original.
Assassination is the most likely scenario.
Bai Ze's goal is to find the location of the original through the death of the clone.
"Signal sensing".
As the clone stopped struggling and died, all the surrounding electrical signals were absorbed into Bai Ze's perception.
At that moment, Bai Ze's world was filled with countless fluctuations and noises, and a massive amount of information flowed by.
"Signal selection."
A faint fluctuation was automatically captured, and then the complex world quickly receded into the distance.
Under the influence of his words becoming law, even the most subtle signal fluctuations can be sensed, acquired, and even "tracked."
Bai Ze turned his head as if sensing something, looking in a certain direction, "I found you."
Even the most advanced technology might not be able to capture this signal in that instant, let alone track it. That's why Jiro Nanba used this method to deal with the death of the clone.
He never imagined that someone would be able to capture and track him in such a simple and brutal way.
Bai Ze didn't even know the true nature of this technology, nor how it determined that Nanba Jiro's clone was dead.
However, that's not the key point. The key point is that Bai Ze has already found a clue and caught Nanba Jiro by the tail.
From here on, it's even simpler.
Find him, control him.
Bai Ze has always been very adept at dealing with people weaker than himself.
The mysterious black figure flickered and disappeared, as if he had never been there.
Only a group of ninjas and machines remained, searching around for any possible enemies.
