Chapter 50

The organization members openly declared that they would not harm good people, which is clearly a very serious matter, but for some reason, it didn't make people feel nervous when it came to Usakabe Saiki.

Even Gin only took it seriously reflexively for a moment, then as if he remembered something, his lips twitched, and his expression relaxed again.

Vodka, with an attitude of "Let me see what other nonsense you can spout," asked, "Why?"

Bo Yezhai said sternly, "Because people like me were forced into prostitution—"

Vodka: "Huh? If your Japanese is so bad you can't use idioms, then don't use them. Just use English..."

Bo Yezaki coughed and said, "No, I mean, an ordinary person like me who was forced to join an illegal organization should have some bottom line to uphold, otherwise wouldn't I be just like you? I'm a perfectly good person!"

Everyone: "………………"

What do you mean by "like us"?! How do you really see yourself?!

Morofushi Kagemitsu even sensed a dark humor in it.

He was an undercover Japanese public security officer who worked diligently to gain the organization's trust. He would kill whomever he was told to, even if he was in great pain. He could not openly protest, but could only secretly pass on intelligence when the target really could not die, trying to get the target to change his itinerary.

As a result, this second-generation member of the organization openly declared that he didn't want to be like the other members of the organization—which should include him.

Judging by actions rather than intentions, Usakabe Saiki is more like a former police officer than he is.

Vodka had probably been tormented by Usakabe Saiki so much that he had developed a resistance to his logic. He could even guess the second half of what Usakabe Saiki said.

He couldn't even be bothered to argue with Bo Yezaki whether he was forced to join or had negotiated his way in, since he already knew that this guy loved to make a scene for himself. So after listening, he just twitched his lips and asked.

"How do you judge who is good and who is bad? Take a mayor for example. Although he has greatly helped the city's development and is deeply trusted by the citizens, he is corrupt in private. If we remove this mayor and replace him with one of our people, he might do a better job..."

Vodka would have answered with very subjective conditions such as "I have my own judgment" or "I have good eyesight."

However, Usoppō Saiki gave a very cautious answer.

"By divination."

Everyone: "………………"

Even Gin, who remains unfazed even when Mount Tai collapses before him, couldn't help but close his eyes and pinch the bridge of his nose with a hint of pain.

He actually thought that Bo Yezhaiji could say something serious; he must have been staying up too late and his brain wasn't working properly.

Morofushi Kagemitsu's hand trembled slightly as he held the phone for Usaku Saiki.

He knew that Bo Yezaki was outrageous, but he didn't expect him to be so outrageous in such an important matter. He hadn't encountered enough mentally ill people before.

If given the chance, he should offer some advice to the police instructors training undercover agents, such as increasing their training in resisting illogical reasoning, so that they wouldn't be caught off guard by people prone to madness and might expose something.

At this point, it was vodka's strong immune system that stepped forward to save his colleagues who didn't want to speak or couldn't speak: "Isn't relying on divination a bit too frivolous?"

"How can you talk like that?" Bo Yezhaiji said unhappily. "If you can't tell good people from bad people by divination, then what can you rely on? Nothing else is reliable! After all, if you kill the wrong person, it's easy to have negative karma. In this case, of course you can only ask the gods to judge! I don't care if you bunch of people without faith mess around, I have to take care of my own happiness in the next life... Such a legitimate reason, why do you disagree?"

"………………"

Once the key words were mentioned, everyone suddenly understood.

Shocking! I thought that Bo Yezaki's usual jingling and messy decorations, with crosses, Buddhist beads, and Taoist beads, were just something he wanted to follow but didn't know how to do, so he just threw them on randomly. I never expected that he actually believed in this stuff!

Thinking about it carefully, there are quite a few people in their circle who believe in these things. Groups like XX often go to shrines to worship, and their headquarters even has a shrine where everyone goes to offer incense before doing something big. There are also quite a few people who do charity work.

The Middle East is indeed quite conservative in its beliefs. It's possible that Alex paid for aid not only to build relationships but also because he believed in this religion. It's quite normal for Usopp to follow suit. As for the issue of his lack of piety, perhaps he's become more open-minded since coming to Japan...

It's open, but not fully open, so people still believe in these things, but they're worried that the original ones won't work anymore, so they believe in a few more.

As for whether Usoya Saiki was just making excuses to fool people...

A normal person wouldn't make up such an excuse. Given Bo Yezhai's importance, even if he didn't give any reason and simply refused to take action, the organization couldn't do anything about it.

Only a mentally ill person would think such a reason is so legitimate, be able to say it so confidently, and believe that the organization must understand him.

This behavior suggests that Usakabe Saiki has probably become trapped in his own world of illogical reasoning and can't get out.

Even Vodka, who was experienced in dealing with Usakata Saiki, didn't know what to say at this moment and could only cast a pleading look to Gin beside him.

Gin is a tough guy; he has almost never regretted anything because he believes that's an emotion only weak people have.

But now he's starting to regret it.

Why did he accept Hakata's mission in the first place? If he hadn't accepted Hakata's mission, the boss wouldn't have sent him to find Usuiba Saiki, and he wouldn't have been the first person to find Usuiba Saiki, and the boss wouldn't have let him continue to be in charge...

Gin took a deep breath, handed a document to Vodka, and then lit a cigarette with a melancholy expression.

He used to think that as long as a person was capable and wouldn't betray the organization, their personality wasn't important. Now he thinks he should probably consider that aspect more, otherwise it would lead to unnecessary waste and affect the efficiency of others...

Vodka glanced at the document quickly and saw that it was an assassination list. He knew that Gin still hadn't given up on figuring out the principles behind Usui Saiki's amazing sniping skills... Well, the Boss had spoken.

To get Usaku Saiki to cooperate, we can only follow Usaku Saiki's thought process.

Vodka had no choice but to ask, "What do you need for your divination?"

"I want a photo of the Boss."

The atmosphere fell silent again.

Morofushi Kagemitsu, who had been restraining his emotions and trying not to show his attitude, was now breathing a little heavier.

The organization's boss is very mysterious. Even the executives may not be able to contact the boss directly. Very few people have the boss's contact information. Anyone with eyes can see that the boss wants to maintain a mysterious image and will not easily appear in front of people. He is very cautious about revealing his information.

He and Zero painstakingly climbed the ranks to obtain more information about the organization's boss, cautiously inquiring. No one in their right mind would so brazenly ask for the boss's information, let alone offer a photo...

Oh, it's Usaku Saiki. He's not mentally sound, so it's alright now.

Gin thought so too.

So after contributing only a wave of suspicion, he seemed to shut off the floodgates and returned to calm.

Unlike undercover spies who would sneak around asking questions, Bo Yezaki asked directly and openly. Considering his frequent bouts of madness, this request was probably perfectly normal in his logic.

Gin then took the phone from Vodka, who was at a loss and hesitant about whether to speak harshly, and calmly asked, "Are you sure this is necessary for the divination?"

“I’m not talking to you. Give the phone back to Vodka.”

Gin: "…………"

Are you still holding a grudge?!

Gin took a deep breath and ignored the trash talk: "You have the Boss's phone number, why don't you ask the Boss yourself?"

Normally, Gin would not want Usui Saiki to bother the Boss with such trivial matters, and he would not make the suggestion.

But the Boss said he wanted to understand how Usuiba Saiki managed to snipe so skillfully, and it seems he's stuck on this hurdle. Gin hopes the Boss can understand why the mission failed, but he doesn't want to explain it himself. Just hearing the code name "Botness" makes him feel like he's hallucinating. He hopes that after receiving the call, the Boss can understand the difficulty of this mission or find a way to persuade Usuiba Saiki.

Morofushi Kagemitsu saw that Usaku Saiki had been silent for a moment before getting up and going into the bedroom.

Vodka asked on the other end of the phone, "Potnis?"

"...He went into the room with his phone," Morifushi Kagemitsu reported.

Vodka was shocked: "He's really going to ask the Boss for the photos?"

Morofushi Kagemitsu hesitated: "Or maybe he didn't want to talk to Gin, so he left...?"

"...If he doesn't come out in ten minutes, go knock on the door and ask."

Morobuchi Kagemitsu agreed.

Ten minutes later, Usakata Saiki still hadn't come out, but Gin received an email from the Boss first.

The boss first comforted him, saying that he had worked hard dealing with Usaku Saiki, and then said that he should make a small sacrifice for Usaku Saiki's superstition, which would not have any impact, and hoped that he could understand.

Gin: "...?"

No, what exactly did Usaku Saiki talk about with the Boss?

As Gin was pondering, Usuiba Saiki walked out with a refreshed expression and sat back down next to Morofushi Kagemitsu: "It's done!"

Zhu Fujingguang's pupils dilated in shock: "...Boss really gave you the photos?"

Is that all?! What have he and Zero been working so hard for all this time?!

Before Morofushi Kagemitsu could start questioning his existence, Usaku Saiki explained, "No, but Boss found an alternative for me, and I think it's fine too."

Zhu Fujingguang's heart pounded uncontrollably: "...What plan?"

Could it be that they gave me a name...? Even a name will do... as long as I can get information about the Boss...

"He told me to use Gin's photos." Usui Saiki pouted. "Just make do with them. Gin, take a few photos for me later."

Morofushi Kagemitsu, his heart pounding: "…………"

Gin, who never takes photos: "…………"

Vodka couldn't hold back any longer: "Why do you need someone else's photo for this fortune telling? Can't you just use your own?"

"Of course not!"

Bo Yezaki explained earnestly: "I need to divine whether, if they die with their eyes wide open, they can rationally understand that I was just a tool. Those who understand are good people, and those who don't are bad people. I don't kill good people, so if bad people want to take revenge on me, they can use the photos to direct all their resentment onto Gin... This is called 'the grievances have their source, and the debts have their debtors'!"

Everyone: ...6, it's actually logically consistent.

Vodka looked at Gin with a troubled expression, and seeing Gin nodding blankly, he could only hurriedly say, "Let me take some photos of my brother before we talk about the mission," and then quickly hung up the phone.

Only then did Morofushi Kagemitsu withdraw his hand, which had been holding up the phone until it was stiff.

Usakabe Saiki stopped crowding around him and stood up to stretch: "Seriously—Boss is so irresponsible! He wanted to kill someone, but he made Gin take the blame! Oh well, Gin isn't my friend anyway, so let's just leave it at that!"

Morobuchi Kagemitsu forced a smile and didn't respond to the conversation.

Some things, if said by Usakabe Saiki, might be ignored by others, but if he says them, Gin might come knocking on his door.

"Oh, right." Usaku Saiki suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Morofushi Kagemitsu. "Your acting skills aren't very good. You'd better practice some more. Luckily, it's me here. If it were Gin, you'd be finished."

Morofushi Kagemitsu's breath hitched, but he quickly regained his composure and revealed a flawless, indifferent smile.

What do you mean?

Others: I don't kill good people, I want the Boss's picture, I...

Gin shot him dead.

Thin Leaf: I don't kill good people, I want the boss's picture, I...

Gin: Go talk to the boss yourself.

This is extremely hypocritical.
