My Ability Is Role-playing-Chapter 336 - 332: Cause of Death: System Replication Failure

Chapter 336: Chapter 332: Cause of Death: System Replication Failure

Ma Ran’s gaze focused on the crowd, he put on his sunglasses again with a carefree attitude, seemingly unconcerned about the "Sea Demon Disaster" that was to arrive in two days, perfectly portraying the image of a natural-born rogue.

"Chief!"

Zhou Yu and Sakai Tetsuya both lowered their heads.

The principals and professors of The University of Tokyo, who had been following these two, trembled involuntarily upon recognizing his image.

Some of them, lacking in courage, couldn’t help but make "gurgling" sounds in their throats out of fear.

Ma Ran paid no attention to these people, merely looking at Zhou Yu with interest: "Planning to recruit some alumni from The University of Tokyo to join the JPN Extraordinary Comprehensive Competition to create a buzz?"

Zhou Yu nodded honestly: "The Chief is wise."

Perhaps because ignorance is bliss, he was not too fearful when he first met "Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan."

However, as time went by and he stayed with the Profound Immortal Team for a while, Zhou Yu gained a new understanding and recognition of the man who rescued him from dire straits.

The better he understood, the clearer he became aware of the other’s terrifying aspect.

Not to mention anything else, even the proud Molten Rock Crow was admitted by the National Guardian Ability User [Yin Yang Master] Ogata Shitou that he was no match for it.

And now, everything the "Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan" displayed, no one knew if it was just the tip of the iceberg, a mere shred.

Zhou Yu could barely respond, while Sakai Tetsuya and the people from The University of Tokyo beside him didn’t even have the qualification to speak with "Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan."

"The idea of making a big cake is not bad."

Ma Ran twisted his neck, tilting his head to look at Zhou Yu: "But, a mere Extraordinary Comprehensive Tournament can’t satisfy my appetite."

"It’s just a bait for fishing."

"Don’t miss the main point."

Zhou Yu nodded seriously: "Rest assured! This time, we are just killing the fatted calf to show the world our Profound Immortal Team’s attitude towards talents. Let everyone know, our Profound Immortal Team is eager for talents."

"Such performative recruitment, in the future, will not be too frequent."

Zhou Yu and Sakai Tetsuya came to The University of Tokyo, showcasing power, wealth, reputation, and status in public, promising generous benefits, plus cooperation with the school’s procedures, they indeed found a lot of talents.

Within just a few hours, he recruited thirty-five Extraordinary Ones for the JPN Extraordinary Comprehensive Tournament!

It may not sound like a lot, and their strength is quite weak.

But one thing must be clear—this is Japan, not China! There is no Super Bureau, nor free promotion and dissemination of Extraordinary Abilities!

People want to enter the Extraordinary Domain, which is as difficult as ascending to heaven, only through connections with China to borrow "Burning Martial," or by chance awakening Superpower.

"Regarding the prophecy of Sea Demon Feng Yuji, the current rulers of this island have caught wind of it."

Ma Ran wandered aimlessly in the small courtyard of The University of Tokyo, speaking lightly: "I heard they have prepared atomic bombs, ready to bombard that Outer Star Ocean creature ’Feng Yuji’ at any time."

"Thus, the probability of Feng Yuji waking up early is low."

"You must be psychologically prepared."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu and Sakai Tetsuya first froze, then nodded in unison.

Knowing that a catastrophic crisis will occur but not proactively and actively responding to it would be incredibly foolish!

"Preparation is one thing, whether they have the guts to do it is another."

"Bureaucrats will restrict and hinder each other."

"For any organization to succeed, there must be, and can only be, one voice."

At this point, Ma Ran suddenly stopped, turned around, and beckoned to the crowd following him: "I didn’t notice you earlier, step forward and let me have a good look."

"In the Other Shore of China, the [Prophet] created something called ’System.’

"You’ve all heard these rumors and gossip?"

The crowd responded swiftly, with some flattery and praise in between.

Zhou Yu silently watched from the side without speaking.

This is typical faction alignment.

When recruiting previously, he cautioned those new to the Profound Immortal Team to be respectful when encountering the "Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan."

It seems these middle-aged and older people have taken his words to heart.

"I think there’s no reason I can’t do what [Prophet] can."

"So, today I’ve come here specifically to try something."

At this point, Ma Ran extended his hand, seemingly randomly pointing a few people in the crowd.

"Yamazaki Midori, Hasegawa Kai, Tsunoda Yuji, Takao Asa."

"It’s you guys."

"Come here."

"Cooperate with me for an experiment."

The four people who were named came to stand before Ma Ran, their emotions complex.

At this point, everyone throughout Japan with a bit of intelligence resources is well aware of the terrible consequences and lessons that come with refusing the invitation of the [Profound Immortal].

They wanted to say something, but Ma Ran didn’t give them any time at all, simply flicking his forefinger lightly, pointing forward.

Bam!

A brilliant golden thunder flashed across.

The four "volunteers" were reduced to ashes in an instant, utterly dead.

"Sorry."

Ma Ran nonchalantly flicked his still smoldering fingertips, giving an extremely perfunctory reason that the crowd found unacceptable: "These people had repulsive expressions and shabby demeanors, and I accidentally used too much force."

In fact, those who died on the spot all had decent appearances, and the clothes, watches, shoes, and cosmetics they used were all internationally renowned brands.

Judging by appearance, their overall attractiveness was above the average line.

The true reason these four died is that they were all on the "traitor list."

Each specific act committed by a Guardian or collaborator, and the impact they had, was clearly recorded on Ma Ran’s lists.

He wouldn’t wrong a good person, nor would he ever let any traitor off the hook.

Unlike Tabuchi Hiromu, who was once a passionate youth, these were the first traitors to side with the Outer Star invaders, their betrayal swift and decisive, without a shred of hesitation.

"..."

Zhou Yu and Sakai Tetsuya exchanged glances, immediately adjusting their stance, focusing their eyes downward, and not uttering any unnecessary words.

Domineering, tyrannical, unreasonable, self-centered.

[Profound Immortal] Zhao Guanlan had this kind of personality from the start.

Sure enough, the recent rumors that the Profound Immortal had softened were nothing but rumors, far from the truth.

Then again.

[Profound Immortal] imitated the [Prophet], and when the manipulation failed, if he didn’t find a few scapegoats, wouldn’t that make Zhao Guanlan seem inferior to Ma Ran?

Such thoughts should have been directly strangled before they could ever exist.

"The system replication failed..."

Ma Ran’s gaze was focused on the black ashes beneath him, emanating a charred smell, and an expression of displeasure flickered in his eyes, which were set with pitch-black contacts: "It’s all because these volunteers were too ugly, affecting my performance."

"However..."

"The Prophet indeed is quite skilled. I’ll need to spend more time studying this thoroughly."

The scent of stir-fried vegetables wafted in from afar.

"Stir-fried pork with green peppers? There’s actually Chinese food here?"

Ma Ran walked in the direction of the aroma, minding his own business, not caring about everyone else’s reactions.

Watching Ma Ran’s back, Fujita Youki trembled with rage.

He had long known that in the struggle for power, money, and influence, those who chose the wrong side met tragic ends.

But why were Yamazaki Midori, Hasegawa Kai, Tsunoda Yuji, and Takao Asa killed despite choosing the right side?

Mistake?

Too much force?

What a lie!

In Fujita Youki’s view, the man codenamed "Profound Immortal" is nothing more than a capricious, reckless individual!

He’s no less than an utterly evil Demon King!

The so-called "system replication experiment" was a ruse from the very start!

A mere excuse for slaughter!

Even though Fujita Youki was acutely aware of this, he knew that if he didn’t humble himself, didn’t play along with the charade, he wouldn’t leave this place alive today.

Wasn’t even the renowned [Blazing Rock Funeralist] Zhou Yu following this man with a lackey-like posture?

Even [Yin Yang Master] Ogata Shitou was just a servant to the "Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan."

Rebellion?

How is that any different from suicide?

Just as Fujita Youki was lost in thought, pondering whether he should follow, the slender, handsome young man ahead suddenly turned and grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "Little Fujita, do you have any objections to my methods?"

Fujita Youki held his breath, his hair standing on end, his heart pounding against his chest at a terrifying pace.

In the blink of an eye, he broke into a cold sweat, his clothes soaked through.
