Chapter 53: At the age of eight, standing like a minion
The Order of the Dead is an international killer organization with branches all over the world.
Every once in a while, the branch will send a candidate to the headquarters for training. After training, the candidate will become the next leader of the branch.
Therefore, the candidates are the candidate leaders of the branch. As long as they are killers who are interested in becoming the leader of the branch, they will compete for this identity.
In the Japanese branch, there are many outstanding killers of the new generation, but as Shinji Tsugumo is the leader of the new generation, no killer in the branch can compete with him.
If possible, Akimiya Yue doesn't want to be the person who hinders Tsugumo Shinji.
But her right to vote is very special and has nothing to do with her own wishes.
Therefore, in response to Tsugumo Shinji's request, Akimiya Yue could only reply: "You should know that my vote will only be abstention. What's more, the Moon Clan has declined, and my vote is even more insignificant."
"Okay, let's not talk about it."
Seeing Akimiya Yue's refusal, Tsugumo Shinji did not dwell on this topic. Instead, he brushed it off and changed the topic: "Xinyue, what do you think about what I told you last time?"
This can be regarded as a conversation technique. First make a request that is difficult to agree to, wait for the other party to reject it, and then make a second request, and the other party will most likely agree.
However, Qiu Gongyue is not an ordinary person, and she refused flatly: "Sorry, I have no plans to get married in this life, you can find someone else."
Being rejected in person, Shinji Tsugumo was not angry and said with a smile: "It is true that marriages between killers are rare, but we are different. As long as you marry me, I will help you wash away the shame of the Moon Clan..."
"enough!"
Akimiya Yue was suddenly irritated. She stared at Shinji Tsugumo coldly: "There is no need for outsiders to intervene in the affairs of the Yue clan. I will solve it myself."
One or two always talk about the shame of her ancestors. Is it a help or a humiliation?
"Solve it yourself?"
Hoshizaki Yukina strolled nearby and said in a teasing tone: "Is it just your three-legged cat kung fu?"
Akimiya Tsukiri ignored her and just stared at Shinji Tsugumo.
Jinyun Shinji pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose with his hand, seeming helpless: "Xinyue, we grew up together, why are you so cold to me now?"
Qiu Gongyue corrected: "There are more than three hundred people who grew up with us, and I treat everyone like this."
They were just trained killers in the same class. They didn't even say a word to each other when they were young. However, this guy always regarded himself as her childhood sweetheart, which was outrageous.
Being treated so rudely by Akimiya Yue continuously, Tsugumo Shinji didn't have any anger at all. Instead, he gently persuaded: "You can't revive the Yue clan by rejecting others like this. Why don't you try to accept help from others?"
Woolen cloth?"
On the contrary, Qiu Gongyue became annoyed and even had a headache, wondering how to completely kick this guy away like a dog-skin plaster.
If she really wanted to help, she wouldn't be so rude, but the guy in front of her obviously had ulterior motives.
Xu Cheng's face suddenly popped up in his mind. If it were this guy who needed a beating, how would he refuse?
Qiu Gongyue tried to imitate: "It is impossible for you and me to be husband and wife. If you cut off the bottom, maybe we can still be sisters."
Tsugumo Shinji had always been calm and calm, and his expression, which seemed to be unmoved by anything, finally turned into astonishment.
Hoshizaki Yukina on the side was already bursting into laughter.
"That's it, goodbye."
Before Tsugumo Shinji could react, Akimiya Yue said a word, then quickly turned around and left.
Shinji Tsugumo looked at her disappearing back, the expression on his face gradually faded, and his eyes behind the lenses were deep and cold.
Hoshizaki Yukina was still laughing next to her, but Shinji Tsugumo glanced at her and immediately stopped her laughter.
She came over and asked: "The Moon Clan is already in decline, why are you still holding on to it?"
The Yue Clan was once a glorious clan among those who gave death, but it has long since disappeared. Even the descendants are only Qiugong Yue, and everyone avoids them.
Tsugumo Shinji turned around and looked at the light of dawn on the horizon in the distance: "I thought so before, but it was only after I went abroad that I realized that something like that in the Moon Clan still had such a big impact on the headquarters.
If Qiugong Yue supports me, or marries me as a descendant of the Moon Clan, then I will gain the legacy of the Moon Clan, and no one can stop me from ascending to the throne."
Hoshizaki Yukina said in a long voice: "Is that so? I thought you were really obsessed with this little girl with facial paralysis."
Tsugumo Shinji showed contempt: "Women will only influence me to become stronger."
Even though he said this, a picture appeared in Tsugumo Shinji's mind.
It was a group of children, surrounded by a little girl who was as delicate and cute as a princess, trying to please her in every possible way.
A dirty child stood in the distance, looking at the group of people with envious eyes, the little girl's figure reflected in his eyes.
When I was eight years old, I stood like a gangster.
Shinji Tsugumo vowed to make everyone who looked down on him regret it, and to make the little princess who ignored him marry him and please him in every possible way.
He had always kept this wish in his heart, never told anyone else, and it did not disappear as he grew older. Instead, it became a deep obsession.
The picture in his mind gradually disappeared, and Tsugumo Shinji asked Hoshizaki Yukina: "How is your work going? What is hidden under that piece of land?"
Hoshizaki Yukina has been the secretary to the head of the Countermeasures Department for some time, and has been obtaining all kinds of top-secret information from the other party.
The matter to be investigated this time is related to the land in Sumida District.
Hoshizaki Yukina sighed and leaned her hand on the female wall, showing her infinitely tempting body curves: "There is no progress for the time being. That old guy is very careful about it. Although he leaves some affairs to me, he never refuses to do so."
Let me have access to secrets, but I have found some clues that the land seems to be related to people with abilities."
Tsugumo Shinji frowned: "A capable person?"
"Yes, in recent years, many people have awakened their abilities in various places, but only in Sumida District, the number of awakened ability users far exceeds that in other places, so the government suspects that there is something wrong with that land, and they seem to have really found something.
Do you want to continue investigating?"
"You can figure it out yourself."
Tsugumo Shinji placed his hands on the parapet and looked at the city that was gradually waking up at dawn: "For us killers, the most important thing is the lost Assassin heritage. If that land has nothing to do with the Assassin heritage, then don't
Spend too much energy lest you expose yourself."
Hoshizaki Yukina turned to look at Tsugumo Shinji's side face, which was slowly glowing under the morning light, and couldn't help but said: "Are you caring about me?"
Tsugumo Shinji did not answer this question, but just showed a gentle smile.
…
Qiu Gongyue returned to the rental house and started packing her things to leave, planning to give up this place.
This place has been known to Tsugumo Shinji and Hoshizaki Yukina. Even if they are also killers who bring death, they will not bring a sense of safety to Akimiya Yue.
Before packing her things and leaving, she looked back at the symbols on the wall, but an old and kind face appeared in her mind.
That was the shame of her grandfather, the Moon Clan.
Qiugong Yue raised her hand, and several flying knives turned into cold light and shot out, seemingly to kill the kind old man, but in the end the flying knives only pierced the fantasy and nailed the symbols on the wall.
Akimiya Yue couldn't help but feel a little lost when she thought of Tsugumo Shinji's words.
