145 I Am the God of Hamsters
If Lu Qi had to summarize this trip to Sakura Island, it would probably be with one word: boring.
Because of her responsibilities, even if she wasn’t at the negotiation site, she couldn’t be too far away. And she had to keep an eye on her phone or computer screen at all times to ensure she could answer technical questions for the colleagues responsible for the negotiation. These questions weren’t many or difficult, but they were trivial, forcing her to be distracted even when shopping.
Moreover, she didn’t understand Japanese. The feeling of shopping alone without being able to complain, communicate, or share was really too lonely.
Finally, the negotiation came to an end, and the day to fly back home arrived as planned.
Lu Qi and her colleagues arrived at the airport together. While queuing at the security checkpoint, she suddenly heard an emergency broadcast at the airport. She didn’t understand Japanese, but the broadcast was also in English.
Noticing the surprise on Lu Qi’s face, the lead designer beside her, whose English wasn’t very good either, asked, “Did something big happen?”
“Someone reported that there are dangerous items on a plane…” Lu Qi listened carefully again, her face becoming more and more astonished. “And it’s our flight!”
The lead designer was stunned. And several colleagues nearby who were also relatively proficient in English had long been stunned.
“What do we do?”
“Is it a terrorist hijacker?”
“The flight will definitely be delayed.”
“Nonsense. The question is, what arrangements will the airline make?”
The colleagues were talking all at once, while Lu Qi said “I’ll ask someone” and walked towards the check-in counter.
Although she didn’t understand Japanese, the service staff in the international airport terminal naturally understood English, so communication was not an obstacle. Soon, Lu Qi found out how the airline was handling it.
She returned to her colleagues and said, “This flight is delayed. They might arrange a new flight for all passengers, another plane to ensure safety.”
The lead designer joked, “Changing to another plane, there can’t be problems again, right?”
Lu Qi smiled. “How is that possible?”

Wang Heng sat on a bench next to the subway station, looking around somewhat blankly.
Waiting was the hardest part, especially when the result being waited for was very important, and he had nowhere to exert his strength. He had done what he could—the dozen or so reporting emails not long ago were all sent by him.
Of course, they were anonymous reporting emails sent to Edo Airport and the police via the internet, with layers of jump servers set up to carefully erase all traces to ensure he wouldn’t be tracked.
Would his plan go smoothly? Even now, he couldn’t help but feel a little apprehensive.
Suddenly, a familiar child-like voice sounded beside him: “Are you looking at the passing high school girls?”
Wang Heng turned his head and saw the hamster squatting on the seat beside him.
He sighed. “What’s there to look at?”
The hamster: “Don’t you have any special expectations for high school girls in Sakura Island?”
Wang Heng glanced at the two girls passing by not far away. They were wearing JK uniforms, but their looks were plain, and the uniforms were loose and ill-fitting, completely different from the beautiful JK girls in anime.
So he said, “Nothing to look forward to. Let’s talk business. How is the plan going?”
The hamster raised its head and looked at the sky, as if receiving radio waves.
A few seconds later, it murmured, “Success. Today’s flight is canceled.”
“That’s good.” Wang Heng patted his chest, finally completely relieved.
However, after a while, the hamster remained in that posture, as if frozen.
Wang Heng stared at it, and the heart he had just put down couldn’t help but rise again…
Suddenly, the hamster said heavily, “Lu Qi will still get on a plane the day after tomorrow, and the second plane will still crash.”
Wang Heng: “?”
The hamster added, “But now we can be sure. The cause of the plane crash lies with the pilot. This guy named Sakata Yuto was cuckolded, and his parents had a medical accident, so he decided to take revenge on society.”
Wang Heng: “…If he wants revenge, go after the adulterous couple! Why implicate innocent bystanders!”
The hamster: “Anyway, that’s the situation. Take a taxi.”
Wang Heng: “Take a taxi?”
The hamster rarely showed a solemn expression and said seriously, “Dealing with anomalies of this magnitude is originally my job.”
Seeing it like this, Wang Heng couldn’t help but ask, “So even without me, as a Spacetime Administrator, you would still have to deal with this flight accident Lu Qi encountered?”
The hamster: “…If you had just honestly started a harem, would there be this trouble now?”
Wang Heng: “Hehe.”

Sakata Yuto returned to his home, where he was the only one left. The first thing he did was turn on the professional-grade flight simulator he had spent money to assemble and fly the route he was supposed to fly today again.
East, then turn southeast, deep into the Pacific Ocean, avoiding all known routes and avoiding radar as much as possible. For this, he needed to lower altitude at times and raise altitude at others, and carefully plan the route without making mistakes in between. Even a skilled pilot like Sakata Yuto needed to practice in advance.
He had practiced very well. Today was supposed to be the day he went to his death.
Pilot suicide has happened quite a few times in history. People have learned lessons and set up many preventive measures. But Sakata Yuto had considered them all one by one. After all, no matter how many measures there were, it was difficult to stop a person whose mind was full of revenge against society.
“So you will go to hell.”
Hearing this slightly stiff Japanese sentence, Sakata Yuto was startled. He turned around and looked in the direction of the sound, and his surprise became even stronger.
The one speaking on the windowsill seemed to be a… hamster?
The hamster glared at him with small eyes full of judgment and continued, “Sakata Yuto, your soul will suffer eternal torment in hell. Do you know what Avici Hell is? Worse than fire and severe cold, being in Avici Hell, you will feel the purest pain, forever…”
Sakata Yuto had never been a materialist. When a talking hamster appeared in front of him, and what it spat out was the most terrible curse, the long-term pressure made his already broken state of mind even more shattered.
He rushed over angrily, trying to catch the hamster, but missed.
The next moment, a strong electric shock on the back of his neck made him roll his eyes and faint. Before losing consciousness, he only heard the mysterious voice drifting in his ear:
“I am a god. How dare you offend a god?”
What was this? True divine power?
In intense horror, Sakata Yuto quickly fainted.
Of course, it was impossible for him to see that the hamster standing on his back was actually holding a powerful taser in its two small paws. And that taser had just been placed behind the flower pot on the windowsill, in his blind spot.
The hamster put down the taser, patted its little paws, and said leisurely, “I could totally act in a martial arts movie…”
