Chapter 153 Who is our enemy? Who are our friends?
“…”
Ask him?
Qian Jianmu felt that he was able to achieve what he had today thanks to Gin's support.
The reason why Gin supported him was that there were too many mixed people in the organization, and Gin hadn't felt the joy of being a simple killer for a long time.
In other words, everyone here is responsible for his being here.
"That's Gin... a robot-like guy!" The bloody words appeared in front of him again. Suguru Geto seemed to be as excited as a spring outing and was telling him gossip about the organization. "Do you know my code name? I'm..."
"...Ardbeg, are you daydreaming?"
The red characters suddenly stopped, and soon after, the laughter of Geto Suguru was heard not far away.
Qian Jianmu slowly raised his head.
The young man with a half-tied black bun is now 22 years old. A very strange and immature fringe falls in front of his eyes. His eyes are not very clear in such a dim environment, but the light makes the shadows of his eyebrows more prominent. He slightly raised his eyes, thought for a moment, pulled the corners of his lips, and revealed a 'gentle' smile:
"Really? Because it's too long-winded."
He looked directly at Gin, as if challenging him, his tone steady and even extraordinarily gentle:
"It's really hard for you. Teaching a bunch of useless people who don't understand what you're saying, it must be hard, right?"
Oh?
Qian Jianmu took a sip of wine and ate melons online.
"Hey, who are you calling a loser? Do you want to be shot?"
The woman with the butterfly tattoo on her face turned her head with a fierce look on her face and stared at Xia Youjie:
"I have tolerated you for a long time, you are the black sheep, shut up!"
"Eh? Are there any manic patients who can't wait to find their seats? This is really difficult to deal with. I value team spirit very much."
Xia Youjie shook his head, his tone was filled with a kind of relaxed tolerance. He hugged his shoulders and narrowed his eyes, and gave Chianti a look as if giving alms. The hypocritical smile was covered with layers of shadows, and in the eyes of others, only the corners of his mouth were raised with contempt. He said in a contemptuous tone:
"I'm talking about you, trash."
"asshole--!!!"
The woman almost pulled out a gun, but it was Gin who finally ended the conflict.
"Shut up."
The gun that had been held down was pulled out with great ease, and fired a single shot at the ground:
"Your value depends on whether the mission is successful. Any waste that hinders the mission can be discarded at any time.
Don't let me catch you by the tail. ”
Chianti wanted to say something but was forced to sit down. A blond-haired, dark-skinned young man who was leaning against the bar counter smiled and tried to smooth things over, although it was worse than not trying at all.
The scene was truly exciting and Qian Jianmu watched it with great interest.
The next second, the melon hit him on the head.
"It's just a mission, but... Gin, if something goes wrong with the people you brought, whose problem is it?"
With just one sentence, everyone's eyes were focused on Qian Jianmu. Qian Jianmu raised his eyes slightly and focused his gaze on that person, as if he didn't expect that he would take the initiative to look at him. Amuro Toru narrowed his eyes slightly and looked straight at him.
With those beautiful purple eyes and his appearance, he certainly doesn't look like a public security officer.
...But the behavior was still too hasty.
Chigenmaku was a little absentminded waiting for Gin to excuse him, but unexpectedly Gin said:
"He's not responsible for the main part of the mission."
The purpose of today's meeting was mainly to check the status of the members and give a general idea. The specific arrangements would be explained in the email to avoid any problems. Chijianmu didn't expect that his position would be put forward so easily. He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Gin.
Gin was looking at him with a vicious smile.
"He is responsible for the final finishing and filling in the gaps. If the time comes for him to be dispatched, I hope you can come up with a perfect explanation."
"Finish it up? How are you going to prove that he's not a traitor? Or, what code name is he? ... Gin, you won't make such a mistake, will you?"
Amuro Toru smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes. He is a rum faction, so he is naturally hostile to Gin. Besides, he is not finding fault on purpose. He is looking for Gin's loopholes, and even Gin must explain it clearly to convince the public.
"Yeah, none of us have seen this person. This is a gathering of codename members. You brought him here. Aren't you going to give us an explanation?"
Chianti seized the opportunity to launch:
"Don't say you can prove his identity without any problem. He is the person you brought here. Who knows if you are the thief crying thief?"
However, in the face of such provocation, Gin's attitude was unexpectedly calm except for a slightly cold expression due to being questioned. He glanced coldly at the Bourbon and Chianti, picked up the glass and drank it all.
"So, before the mission begins, form a group of two or three to monitor each other, and he will act with you."
He pointed at someone at random:
"Adebe, you come and keep an eye on him."
At one point, Geto Suguru couldn't hold back his laughter, but he was already a weird, psychotic scumbag in the organization, so everyone shuddered when they saw him laugh.
What surprised Chijianmu was that Gin actually added a sentence at this time.
"Once he completes the mission, he will be given a code name. There will be plenty of opportunities for cooperation between you in the future."
...What, Gin is supporting him? Because he is the future code member, so Adebe should not offend him too much, right?
It's really unbearable...
After the party at the bar ended, Chigenmaku followed Geto Xiayou directly out and settled in the nearest safe house. The two of them kept a straight face until the safe house set up a barrier, then they couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Ahem, he's the future code member, so everyone, please pay attention to him. Hahaha, what kind of love potion did you give Gin?" Geto Suguru laughed wildly while slapping his thigh.
"'I really value team spirit', 'I'm talking about you, trash', that's cool, Ayumu!"
"It's nothing, it's nothing. I'm an undercover agent, and Zero is acting realistically." Xia Yujie waved his hand, took out a bag of popcorn from the refrigerator and put it in the microwave, and took out two cans of drinks and put them on the table.
"I called Gojo, he'll be coming tomorrow. Come on, tell me how you did it before he comes! Could you have controlled Gin?!"
The main thing that Geto Suguru wanted to ask was about his relationship with Gin.
In fact, it is very easy to feel that although he is a person who can be killed at any time, Geto Suguru seems to have a slight vigilance towards Gin. He is very worried about whether Senmamaku is being tortured at Gin's hands. On the other hand, he doesn't think that Senmamaku will suffer any loss.
So with all the mixed emotions, it became a joke that was both a joke and a source of entertainment.
"He's a nice guy...it's better to say that you tortured him too harshly."
After seeing the current situation of the organization's meeting, Chigenmaku felt Gin's depression. In such a chaotic organization without any hierarchy, it would be strange if Gin didn't feel like going to jail.
"… Then, who is he in your opinion?"
With a strange expression, Xia Youjie asked in disbelief:
"Not quite right, do you have a fever? Otherwise, how could you say the words 'Gin is a very nice person'?"
"...Let me explain."
***
From the perspective of his companions, Gin is actually a very good partner, provided that his skills are up to standard and his personality is easy-going, stable and he does not cause trouble. As long as you are 'smart', 'stable' and 'obedient', it will be easy to enjoy Gin's subtle attention and the feeling of having Gin as your partner.
Gin's personal qualities, except that he is a bit stress-prone, are already excellent.
If crime is not considered a bad habit, then Gin has almost no bad habits. He never indulges in fun, nor does he have any appetite. Even his criminal core is very single-minded.
He has been pursuing the spiritual pleasure of "defeating", "manipulating" and "controlling" others all his life. When he tortures people, what he feels is not the pleasure brought by abuse, but the joy of the process of "taming".
The "taming" and "control" here are in a present or future tense, not a perfect tense.
Like a knife, constantly swinging. It seemed as if its own meaning lay in the moment of cutting off the opponent, and the reason for its own existence was to complete the command to fight.
...Would it be more accurate to say that the beast of desire runs to satisfy its own desires?
The above is the information that Sengenmaku obtained when he was getting along with Gin. He is usually a sniper in Gin's missions and does not need to cooperate with other people. The only contact party is Gin. He rarely sees Gin getting along with other people.
It was not until today that he gained a deeper understanding of gin.
"It may be very interesting to see what will happen in the future." He said meaningfully in the increasingly strange look of Geto Suguru.
The relationship between Gin and the organization is more complicated than many people think.
Many undercover agents do not see their position clearly. Although they join the organization with a cautious attitude, at the critical moment, their position will naturally change to "the organization needs me", and on this basis, they will use their own advantages to try to extract the part they need.
However, Gin is different. He doesn't seem to think that the organization needs him, but that he needs the organization.
Anything is fine, a huge thing, a giant machine that can make him move, a fictitious goal that even he himself finds funny, nothing matters. As long as he can be given a steady stream of tasks and the dopamine that makes him feel happy, he will move forward for the organization.
He cannot get so many "spiritual rewards" anywhere else because he cannot leave the organization.
Moreover, he didn't care about the silver bullet or the elixir of immortality at all, and he didn't even pursue any power or status within the organization. After he climbed to his current position, he did not climb any further. Everything just made it more convenient for him to mobilize personnel.
...He is so pure, even to the point of being scary.
Madmen are not scary, and smart madmen are not scary either. The most terrifying thing is a madman who is extremely self-disciplined, single-minded in his goals, and will do anything to achieve his goals, who does not feel pain or fear, is never afraid of death, and who will even laugh out loud out of excitement the moment a gun is pointed at him.
However, it is precisely because Gin needs the organization to provide him with an outlet that he falls into his current situation.
If you are too tired at work, it’s either your problem or the company’s problem. If there’s nothing wrong with him, then the company must have a big problem.
——Something is about to happen to the organization.
Perhaps at this moment he still cannot give up that kind of lasting pleasure and stimulation, but one day in the future, when he continues to discover undercover agents, he will definitely realize that danger is imminent, and at that time, Gin will definitely make a choice.
It is to retreat while the tide is still and look for another violent machine.
still……
Pursuing desires to death, muddying the waters, like a hunter lurking in the smoke, pulling the trigger indiscriminately, pursuing the happiness of the only winner.
Sengenmaku didn't think he would just run away, but he also didn't think Gin would keep clinging to the organization. He had been patient long enough.
"If Gin really chooses to muddy the waters, then this will no longer be a game between justice and evil."
Biting popcorn, Qian Jianmu made a decision:
"It's a three-party game, and Gin is the third party."
"Then what will he do?" Xia Youjie thought his point of view was very interesting and asked softly:
"...First of all, I think he will kill a few members of the organization to liven up the atmosphere."
Qian Jianmu said sincerely:
"He has been patient for too long. Once he decides to become the third party, it means that no matter if they are undercover agents or real members of the organization, they are all his enemies. He will shoot at any time with just a reason, no matter who they are."
He didn't need anything, he just wanted to control everything. The people in the organization only made him endure for so long because of the organization's help.
Being too pure is also a bad thing. Once he goes to extremes, the whole world becomes a tool for him to please himself.
He will eventually die in the midst of guns and blood.
***
The two chatted until midnight.
There's not much to say about the organization.
Geto Suguru's infiltration into the Black Organization is really like using a cannon to kill a mosquito. It feels unnecessary and is more entertaining in nature.
Either him or Gojo Satoru, any one of them can surround all the members of the Black Organization. Unless a nuclear bomb is used, it is really hard to imagine who can kill them both.
But after figuring out the composition of the Black Organization, Geto Suguru was unable to break the situation by force.
This is a violent organization with connections all over the world. In the United States, the Black Organization can carry out assassination missions with impunity; in Europe, the Black Organization even has their own experimental base; in Japan, they can manipulate congressional elections at will, and even half of the officials in the political arena are more or less involved with them.
Wildfires cannot be extinguished. He can destroy an organization's base single-handedly, but the remnants will still grow new branches of evil everywhere. Moreover, the corruption among Japan's upper class is too deep. Even if the organization is eradicated, it will not be able to change the underlying political environment in Japan. What he wants are fresh branches and brand-new reforms, not liberation overnight.
So Geto Suguru is working undercover very seriously, occasionally using cursed spirits to cheat, with the goal of rooting out those dirty things.
"You're asking about Zero?" Xia Youjie held up his face and thought for a while: "Indeed, you seem to care about him a lot. Ah, I forgot to tell you last time, his name is Amuro Toru now, and he is a very outstanding policeman."
“Pretty high praise.”
"Hmm...his background? I checked. His mother died a long time ago, and his father also passed away...but it seems that he joined the Black Organization because of someone."
Xia Yujie's eyes lit up:
"By the way, her name is Miyano Elena. She was his first love. She joined the organization more than ten years ago. He has been tracking her down."
"…Miyano Elena…"
The past of Rei Furuya can no longer be verified, so the next clue is Elena Miyano... Perhaps we can find more information from Gin.
It’s funny that the person closest to the core of the organization now is not Geto Suguru and Toru Amuro, who have been undercover for almost two years, but him, who has been undercover for only one month. Clinging to someone’s leg is indeed the best way to get promoted…
"Ah, what's your name? Your code name?"
"Ardbeg whiskey."
Qian Jianmu saw the young man in front of him suddenly laugh, and his laugh was very strange:
"Toru Amuro is Bourbon. By the way, there is another person working undercover with me at the same time. He just got a code name and is not in Tokyo because he has a mission. He is Scotch."
"... Did you name them according to a group of people and a type of wine...?"
Xia Youjie's smile became even weirder, with a strange light flashing in his small eyes:
"Also, at the party today, the long-haired Moroboshi Dai, he is Rye Whiskey."
"...? Wait what do you mean?"
"He is an undercover FBI agent. My cursed spirit has been following him for a long time. He is definitely an undercover FBI agent."
"...Four bottles of whiskey? All undercover agents? Huh?" Qian Jianmu was shocked.
"Hahahahahahahahaha! Yeah! Isn't it weird!"
Xia Youjie couldn't help but burst out laughing.
He had long wanted to see other people's shocked expressions. He had told Gojo Satoru about this, and Gojo Satoru had said very seriously, "Then this organization is going to be finished, and you're going to be unemployed, Jie." In short, he didn't look surprised at all and he felt very frustrated.
ah! So cool!
"Then guess what kind of alcohol you drink? I hope it's not whiskey..."
He laughed for a while, said a few meaningless words, thought for a while, jumped up and lay on the back of the sofa, and said:
"I just finished a mission with my partner during the day. He is an undercover agent of the CIA and is in the organization with his daughter. He is really careful. I even used a few special cursed spirits to investigate his identity."
Perhaps his original intention was just to talk about these undercover agents, but when he really got to this point, his smile gradually faded and his tone became calmer.
"…So, this kind of place shouldn't exist at all, right? Kill the father, and the child will come in; kill the wife, and the husband will come in. Generation after generation, generation after generation will sink into the boneyard in the Tokyo woods."
"……I know."
"I'm not asking you for anything, Chikan, I'm just sighing." Xia Youjie laughed again: "It's easy to destroy a family, but it's really difficult to maintain the stability of a family."
The young man leaned back on the sofa, stretched out his hand, and loosely grasped the lamp on the ceiling.
"There are more than just cursed spirits in this world. For many people, cursed spirits are something they will never see in their lifetime. It is hard enough for ordinary people to just live this life. They have to grit their teeth and persevere. No one can live an easy life all the time..."
"After graduation, I left a cursed spirit to protect my five outstanding classmates. Less than half a year after I graduated, a first-level cursed spirit was seriously injured by the explosion on the spot. My classmate almost died. He didn't have the passion of a police officer, but he performed his duties as a police officer very seriously. He was just living a serious life. And then he almost got blown to death..."
"What did he do wrong? Why did he have to be hurt? Isn't it the same for us sorcerers? We have done so much, but we are still hurt?"
With his palms clasped together, Xia Yujie placed his hands on his chest and took a deep breath.
"So, I'm wondering, who are our enemies? And who are our friends?"
“I now understand Satoru’s feelings a little better.
Because he is the strongest, he can influence the life and death of many people, and he can even represent the rules. Those things that are not allowed by us can disappear with just a word and a flick of the finger.
But who will pay what price for such an easy behavior? Are we really right? Is our choice right? Precisely because he is the strongest, he cannot move arbitrarily. Wu is right. Only by ignoring everyone equally and erasing one's own interests like he does can true equality and justice be achieved before the full picture is known. ”
"..." Qian Jianmu suddenly felt a little emotional.
I'm afraid this is the first time that Geto Suguru has tried to agree with Gojo Satoru.
Something called 'divinity', or an attribute similar to 'saint', seems to be brewing in Geto Suguru.
This young man, who should have suffered so much and gone to extremes, now looked at the void gently with a calm tone:
“But I can’t be as arrogant as Wu, who can truly be equal… So I still want to give it a try…”
"Xiao Qianjian, I know you are a very powerful person. You have a power that none of us can touch..."
A hand stretched out and landed in front of Qian Jianmu's eyes. Qian Jianmu tilted his head and saw Xia Youjie looking at him quietly:
"No one in this world can stop me, and Gojo can't really kill me now. So, if I've taken the wrong path, and if you can find something abnormal in this world, please let me stop. If necessary, you can kill me or lock me up. It's up to you."
"But if I'm really right, Gin won't value me so much?" Chimamaku said in a puzzled tone.
If he was really a good person, he wouldn't be alive today, right?
But Xia Youjie laughed.
"It's okay. I believe in you. Your choices are meaningful."
Qianjianmu: "..."
Geto Summer Oil: “……?”
Qianjianmu was silent for a long time again, then grabbed Xiayoujie's hand and smashed it on the side of his face.
With a snap, he withdrew his hand and looked at him in shock and grievance.
"Take that back!"
"……?"
"Don't ever say this in front of Gojo Satoru. No, you'd better never say this in your life."
Qian Jianmu tried to hold back, but finally couldn't hold it back any longer:
"Why don't you ask Gojo Satoru?"
"…But he only seems to find it fun to be with me. But once we bring him along, the two of us together, the world will be doomed…" Geto Suguru was seriously troubled.
"I know you're strong, and you guys are strong too! What's troubling you now is that you're too strong and no one can kill you, right?"
Qian Jianmu sighed:
"Isn't this good? This way you won't mess around. If Tianyuan is still alive, maybe you can..."
"Tian Yuan is indeed still alive."
Before Geto Xiayou had the time to tell Chijianmu about this, he saw those beautiful golden eyes slowly widen, and then slowly turn into dead fish eyes. He couldn't help but smile again.
"...It's been four years, and Tianyuan is still alive?" Qianjianmu asked woodenly.
"Yeah...it took a little effort..."
Xia Yujie's eyes wandered:
"But it won't last too long..."
Hey...what did you do to Tianyuan?
