Chapter 761: Change your glasses
——It should be that when Yoshikazu Watanuki buried the items, he was afraid that he would forget the specific location of the items as he got older, so he left a cosmos here to guide himself.
While thinking instinctively, Subaru Okiya squatted down, chose a very narrow area according to the place pointed by Usa, dug carefully, and placed the turned-up soil aside in order.
After digging for a while, he suddenly felt the tip of the shovel hit something hard.
Okiya Subaru was startled, put the soil and folding shovel aside, and started digging with his hands to avoid damaging the objects that could be used to threaten.
A strangely shaped object soon appeared under the slightly damp soil. It looked like a round hole with dirty impurities attached to it, and white could be vaguely seen in the exposed areas.
“……?!”
Okiya Subaru looked at it in confusion for a few moments, then suddenly froze, his heart beating violently.
He suddenly realized what he had dug out. Dry eye sockets, collapsed nose - it was half a face that had decayed to the point where some bones were exposed. It looked like a woman, with dyed hair tangled on the side of her face, covered with dirt, dirty and scary.
It is the instinct of most people to feel fear and disgust at the corpses of their own kind.
Okiya Subaru's palms were covered with cold sweat and he instinctively wanted to step away.
However, before he could stand up, a hand suddenly rested on the back of his neck, interrupting his plan to escape.
——Wuzo had half-crouched beside him at some point, like a vague ghost, full of gloom. The hand on his neck was like a poisonous snake, crawling with a trace of venom, and finally pinched his artery with its fingertips, while the palm pressed him firmly, forcing him to look into the empty eye sockets on the ground.
"I am a person who trusts and cares for my subordinates, so I hope that they can return the same loyalty to me." Jiang Xia turned his head to look at Okiya Subaru, recalled the common process of big men recruiting younger brothers on TV, and began to talk nonsense, pretending to give a stick and then a date:
"I've read your past resume. It seems like you don't like killing people. This shows that we share the same ideals. Such brutality without any sense of beauty is simply a blasphemy against life."
“…”
Subaru Okiya was forced to look deeply into the eyes of a corpse that died with its eyes open. He recalled what Usa had just said, and thought about how he was drinking tea with Shuichi Akai just a few hours ago, and wondered if he was going to be buried here side by side.
But he was still young after all, and had a strong desire to survive, so he quickly smiled and forced himself to remain calm: "...I'm honored to have the same taste as you."
"..." Jiang Xia nodded secretly. That was good. Although the new brother looked a little weak, at least he didn't kneel down and say something that would ruin the atmosphere like "Please spare me, I have parents and children to take care of."
He loosened his grip and turned his head to glance at the ghost.
The ghosts shook their heads at him in disappointment.
——There is still no hidden murderous aura nearby.
"..." Just now when the disguise was being torn off in the coffee shop, I didn't detect Shuichi Akai around, and it could be barely interpreted as "the way of tearing off the face was too gentle and could not arouse murderous intent."
But now, he looked like he was going to bury the person on the spot, but he still didn't...
Jiang Xia looked at the new brother next to him with mixed feelings and withdrew his hand.
No one continued to hold Okiya Subaru, but he still didn't dare to get up. He stood frozen in place, staring at the corpse on the ground with wide eyes.
"Okay, bury it back." Usa brushed off the dust on his hands and said cheerfully, "As a gift to celebrate our meeting - use this information well. This is the key to making Watanuki Yoshiichi "disappear" from society."
Okiya Subaru: "..."
He moved like a rusty machine, slowly shoveling and filling the soil in sequence, restoring the small hole he had dug.
During this mechanical movement, Subaru Okiya suddenly remembered the few words he had heard about Usa before.
——Wuzou rarely killed people himself. But the targets he targeted always died one after another for no apparent reason, or became violent and impulsive, killing others, and ending up in a miserable situation worse than death. It was said that even cadres who were equally smart could not escape his clutches.
After all, they were discussing gossip about ruthless cadres, so no one dared to be too open. The rumors about Wuzo were spread in a single line in the form of "I'll tell you a secret, don't tell anyone else". The specific source of the rumor is difficult to verify. The more reliable statement is that this rumor came from a cadre who was in a competitive relationship with Wuzo and was unfortunately targeted by Wuzo, and then fought wits and courage with Wuzo and escaped heroically several times...
Subaru Okiya felt that every pore in his body was emitting a chill of fear - even such a powerful cadre regarded Wu Zuo as a tiger or a wolf, but he just now actually thought that Wu Zuo was a good person who supported peace.
——Although the fact that Wu Zuo led him to find the female corpse can also be explained as "Yoshiichi Watanuki buried the body and Wu Zuo happened to pass by and saw it."
But no matter how you think about it, this is too much of a coincidence.
Compared to the vague answer of "Uzo is lucky", combined with Uzo's reputation, there is obviously another more reliable explanation.
——The reason why Yoshikazu Watanuki wanted to kill the woman underground was because he was unknowingly influenced by Usa.
Thinking of this, Okiya Subaru became more and more aware that he had misunderstood just now.
It turns out that in Uzo's dictionary, the extended meaning of "killing simply and roughly" is not "don't kill people", but "killing in a fancy way is the best way to make the best use of them."
“…”
Thinking of this, Subaru Okiya raised his wrist and adjusted the frame of his glasses that had slipped down due to cold sweat, and felt that he should change his glasses.
Before, he thought that among the many reckless peripheral members, he was a smart person who was good at judging people and had some strategies. But now...
…
Fear is not a pleasant experience, but it can indeed stimulate people's desire to survive and increase work efficiency several times.
Subaru Okiya quickly filled the soil, put the top layer of soil that had just been dug out back on the top, compacted it, and then carefully covered it with the surrounding loose soil.
During the aftermath, he looked at the shadow cast by Uzo on the ground next to him, and suddenly felt that the difficulty of his survival had been raised to S-level for no reason.
...Also, when Wu Zuo mentioned "trust" just now, was he simply expressing his expectations for his subordinates, or had he discovered that his new subordinate was turning into a traitor, so he was warning him? Or even... had he become Wu Zuo's target? ?
“……”No, no, no matter how talented you are, you still have to abide by the Basic Law.
Uzo was indeed good at analyzing and inducing other people's psychology, but he could not possibly read their minds.
