Chapter 126 The Final Deal
Zhu Fujing frowned. Just now, the remaining people ran away like frightened birds. Only Vodka was still standing beside the broken SUV. He did not move at all, with his hands hanging down, just staring blankly at the corpse in front of him.
Seeing this, Karasuma Renye sighed, walked forward, patted Vodka on the back, and said, "Leave here, Vodka. The rest has nothing to do with you."
Vodka was like a broken soldier doll. He raised his head with a pause and looked at the unfamiliar BOSS with empty eyes, "…Why? Big Brother, he was obviously just following your instructions…"
Why did you kill him when he didn't do anything?
As his thoughts turned, Vodka turned his head in anger, his hand on the gun ready to draw. Even if the boss showed inhuman characteristics and it was impossible for him to kill him, he still wanted to avenge his big brother.
But in the face of fierce resistance from his men, Karasuma Renye did not move. He looked at Vodka in silence, allowing the other party to put the muzzle of the gun to his forehead. There were complex emotions flowing in his eyes, and even Vodka, who was not good at expressing his emotions, could read guilt and compassion from them.
At this point, Vodka paused in his attempt to pull the trigger. This expression was both familiar and unfamiliar to him.
It was just like the look on his face when the priest in the church looked at him when his parents died. That look of concern but helplessness, that look of compassion but helplessness.
But before he could come to his senses, Karasuma Renya spoke.
"I know that Gin has always listened to me. Vermouth often gets angry with me and tries to find things for me to do, but Gin never does."
"Rum, Vermouth, and Gin, these three are the people I trust the most... If possible, I don't want to put unknown things in their bodies."
"But my blood is flowing in Vermouth's body. Even if she doesn't accept the remains of God, she has no other choice. My blood has already brought her eternal curse and pain. She has nowhere to escape. As for Gin... when I met him, he was about to die, and I had to give him the last portion of God's remains."
"So I didn't mean to kill Gin. It was simply because I wanted to save him, and I couldn't think of a second way except the remains of the gods. But at the same time, a life that should have died long ago has survived until now, and he must pay the price for staying alive. I think this is fair and reasonable."
"As for Rum, he is very loyal. Even when I used Gin more because of the remains of the gods, he never complained. After Lady Helena passed away, I didn't intend to let Rum lose another eye. Rum has paid enough for me, and things are not to the point where he has to sacrifice himself."
"I think I have answered your questions. So Vodka, leave here. I will return everything to the starting point, and you will meet again by then."
Karasuma Renya reached out and picked up the hat on the ground. The owner of the hat took great care of it, and the silk on it was shining, but now it was covered with blood and dust.
"Take it and leave."
Vodka stared blankly at the top hat in Karasuma Renya's hand. He didn't know what he remembered and slowly put down the gun in his hand.
He stared at the top hat for a few seconds, and finally chose to take the top hat from Karasuma Renya, turned around and took off the top hat on his head, and covered the corpse with it. He whispered: "I don't understand this, Boss, I just want to ask you one thing, do you really know what you are doing?"
He knew that his brain was not as good as others, and certainly not as good as the farsighted and meticulous boss. But he still vaguely sensed the undercurrent behind Karasuma Renya's words.
Although he didn't understand why, he could tell that the boss didn't want to kill them and was forced to do this.
Karasuma Renye smiled and said, "I know that I have never been more clear-headed than now. I will pave the way for you and solve the obstacles. Then, you can meet in a friendlier and more normal environment, isn't that good?"
Friendly? Normal?
Does it mean working from nine to five like those fools, bowing to the boss and customers, just for a little money? Or does it mean finding an ugly fat wife, giving birth to three or four little ones, and working all your life just to earn money for their house?
Is it that he thinks the money he makes in the organization is not enough, or that he doesn't have enough followers, or that the girls he dates are not pretty enough?
Vodka hesitated to speak. He didn't think his life was abnormal at all.
Seeing Vodka's expression, Karasuma Renye chuckled helplessly and said gently and compassionately, "I know that you have never experienced a normal life, so you don't understand the meaning of what I say."
"When you see happy people, you only feel angry. When you see naive people, you only think they are stupid. When you feel someone's dedication to you, you only think that the other person is calculating. You are defensive and suspicious. In order not to get hurt, you choose not to believe. Because you have never received love, you refuse to give any love."
"You think you are cool and bold, living freely and wantonly. You don't need comfort, sympathy, or love. You think you are strong enough to digest all emotions by yourself and solve everything by yourself."
"But Vodka, I never told you, this is not normal."
"I have experienced a normal life, with a happy family, a caring wife and children. I know that normal people don't have to worry about dying in the next second, or that a trusted friend will stab me in the back. I cry when I'm hurt, laugh when I'm happy, and curse when I'm angry. It's a simple, ordinary, but truly free life."
“I want you to live this kind of life, too.”
"Of course, you can choose not to live this kind of life, but I want to give you a chance to live this kind of life. Vodka, did you really choose to go down this path voluntarily? Do you really have the right to choose?"
Of course not.
I believe that no one else in the organization has the same feeling.
So Vodka remained silent.
Before this, Vodka had never actually seen this mysterious and famous boss, but now, he strangely had a feeling that the boss might really be doing this for their own good.
Even though he had just killed Gin and Vermouth.
Vodka was silent for a long time. He looked at this strange but sincere boss, and a sour feeling surged in his heart that he didn't even know where it came from.
"I understand. I wish you success, Boss." After he said that, he turned around and left without looking back.
He didn't know whether he was brainwashed by the boss's eloquent words, or whether everything today was just a nightmare with no end.
He only knew that he was not dead, but his elder brother was.
He wants to leave here.
The crow's wings were cut off, and the feathers attached to them could only fall off with the sickle.
The three people who were still standing there watched Vodka's swaying figure gradually disappear into the thick night.
"So... can you tell me what's going on now?" Zhu Fu Jingguang couldn't help but sigh. He rubbed his forehead with a headache, even though he didn't have the physiological phenomenon of "headache" now.
He Jing Yayoi retracted his sickle. He didn't care whether these people left or resisted. Since Karasuma Renya wanted to persuade Vodka to leave, he had no intention of chasing them and killing them.
"Hiro, although the whole thing has nothing to do with you, I can tell you about my cooperation with Mr. Karasuma, and why we are working together. According to Mr. Karasuma, this world is in a cycle that is not controlled by him, and the cycle period is from his birth to his death."
"And the souls of those who died during the process of his birth to death will be devoured by my remaining remains. And every time the world restarts, a part of my remains will grow."
"In order to prevent the birth of an unknown creature and to stop the remains from continuing to grow, Mr. Karasuma conducted a lot of experiments and finally tried to put the remains into the human body to limit its growth. This time he succeeded."
"Of course, I have no idea about this. I only regained consciousness on April 3rd this year and have no memory of anything before that. I can't even guarantee that after the remains are fully restored, my consciousness will still be born inside."
"At the same time, Mr. Karasuma considered that the cycle of the world is the length of his own life, so he naturally thought of immortality. As long as he doesn't die, the world will not cycle, and the dead souls will not be swallowed by unknown things."
"That's why the organization is researching the elixir of life. Of course, Karasuma-san also wanted to become a digital life and upload his consciousness into a computer, but he failed."
"After failing to find the elixir of life, Karasuma-san tried to kill me. He thought I was the real culprit behind all this. Of course, after I discovered Karasuma-san's trap, I explained to him that I actually didn't know about it, and that I agreed with him to become a god."
"I will hand over all my current energy and authority to help him become a god. At that time, Mr. Karasuma will use the power of time to reverse the world back to before I came. As for me, because the eyes that Elizabeth gave me before contain a trace of the power of time, I can keep myself immortal."
"Hmm...it will probably become a being on the level of an earthbound spirit."
"But in this case, the world line will have no reason to kill me, because Karasuma-san will die for me. After he becomes a god, the weight of the time authority he uses to reverse time will make the world line strangle him without hesitation. When the world line swallows the holder of the time authority, I will be safe."
"Mr. Karasuma's wish is to reverse time and save the world. His own life or death doesn't matter. My goal is just to stay alive. So from this perspective, our cooperation is a natural thing."
Kazukage Yayoi smiled and patted Morobushi Kagemitsu on the back, "Of course, the earthbound spirit cannot leave the house. When the time comes, I'll have to trouble you to find me, Hiro. Otherwise, I'll be trapped in the room forever."
"What..." Zhu Fu Jingguang frowned and looked at the two smiling people in front of him, "Yayoi, you are a god, are you really willing to become a ground-bound spirit? As for... Mr. Karasuma... everything I know about you is based on my imagination. Although you are very different from what I imagined, I will not comment on it."
"I just want to ask, are you two prepared to sacrifice for this?"
How come he doesn't believe it at all?
One is a mafia boss who has connections everywhere and has everyone under his command. It’s not to say that he is so unbridled and does whatever he wants, but there are definitely few people in the world who can live more comfortably than him.
The other one is the only god in the world, and he feeds on human souls. Even if there is a world line plotting in secret, he would not sacrifice himself to save humanity, right?
Do the two of them really think this from the bottom of their hearts?
