After watching Sakaguchi Ango and the old man leave, Kaionji Suyu was the only one left in the ward, and even the bullet screen disappeared.

It was better than he thought to speak out his thoughts all at once. Countless emotions accumulated in his chest, but the moment he said he didn't want to join the Special Ability Unit, he felt a long-lost sense of relief.

Sometimes he found it unbelievable that his childhood dream could be given up so easily, but it seemed that it was not entirely true. The emergence of the system allowed him to see another possibility.

I took a deep breath. Even though the air I breathed in smelled like disinfectant, I could still feel much happier while touring Haiyin Temple.

His schoolbag was placed on the bedside table. This schoolbag, which had been through a lot with him, now had some signs of wear and tear, but it still performed its task of carrying things diligently.

He opened the bag, and it seemed that the inside had become a mess due to the series of big actions before, but Haiyinsi Suyou still took out the red leather notebook from the compartment of the bag very skillfully and laid it flat on his legs.

The contents of the notebook were updated as expected, with some reassuring changes compared to the previous ones, although the change in a certain number was indeed a bit outrageous.

【Name: Haiyin Temple Tour (0Pa)】

【Species: Human】

[Vest: The King of Innocence (Do as You Wish)]

[Item: Evil God Training Notebook - Red (in use)]

[Number of draws remaining: 0]

【Faith value: 23572】

[Trigger event: None]

Seeing that the column for triggering events finally turned back to zero, Haiyin Temple Suyou breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the most eye-catching thing is of course the faith value. Although he had expected the little king's emergence this time, and the audience's feedback at the Red Temple was also very good, this data still greatly exceeded his expectations, making Haiyin Temple Suyou wonder if there was something wrong with the system.

"This data... I think I didn't over-read one digit?" Haiyin Temple Suyou looked at the string of numbers for a moment, and asked politely in his heart.

【System settlement will not fail】

This mechanical speech made Haiyin Temple Suyou pause for a moment imperceptibly. At the same time, no other words appeared in the red book. When Haiyin Temple Suyou was about to look away, a line of words with slightly different colors suddenly appeared.

[Now there is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first? ]

It was that tone again, which seemed to carry his own personality. Haiyin Temple Suyou had an indescribable feeling in his heart, very familiar yet very distant.

At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open, and the old man walked in. Haiyin Temple Suyou didn't have time to ask the system more, and hurriedly pretended to be reading a book.

It seemed that they had finished their previous conversation, but it was a bit strange that Ango Sakaguchi did not follow in. I wonder if the old man and the people from the Special Ability Section reached some agreement.

However, Haiyin Temple Suyou did not ask too many questions, and Li Buwei did not let the child know too much. He returned to the ward with a natural look.

"What are you looking at?"

After sending the young man away, Li Buwei picked up the carving knife with some pride, but for the sake of his manners, he still had to pretend to be indifferent. Seeing Haiyin Temple Suyou reading a book, he asked curiously.

"It's just a diary, an observation diary for the goldfish. I'm a little worried about the fish at home. No one feeds her."

Haiyinsi Suyou answered with his eyes downcast. The old man noticed that the book made him a little nervous, but he still answered as usual according to the system's disguise. In the eyes of others, the red-covered notebook was just an ordinary goldfish observation diary.

"Is that so? Don't worry too much," the old man carved little by little, and some powerful-looking figures took shape in his hands. "If everything goes well, maybe I can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow."

"Also, I wonder how Mr. Tanizaki and classmate Tanizaki are doing..." Kaionji Suyou asked a little worriedly.

Ichiro's crazy feeling and Naomi Tanizaki's special condition made him feel uneasy.

But the old man seemed very confident.

"What about the brother and sister? It's not a big problem. The kid named Junichiro will be fine after drinking some resurrection water. He will also need some psychological counseling and two days of sleep. As for the little girl, I asked an old friend to help her recuperate in the hospital for a while and she will be alive and kicking again."

After hearing this, Haiyin Temple Tour felt more at ease.

After the old man finished speaking, the room fell into silence.

Haiyin Temple Suyou thought the conversation might end here, but the old man stood up.

Li Buwei walked around the ward with something in his hand, as if he was checking whether there were any small machines in the room that shouldn't be there.

After making sure that they were the only two people in the place, he sat back down on the head of the bed.

A golden, wide piece of metal was taken out of the old man's arms and put into his hand.

Haiyinsi Suyou recognized the special shape almost at first sight and blinked in surprise.

"Golden Wish Sign?" Haiyin Temple Suyou looked at the old man uncertainly, "Why is it here?"

"That's up to you, kid. You were the one who brought it out. I was just responsible for keeping it from being seen by those suit glasses."

The old man shrugged his shoulders, not feeling at all that there was anything wrong with calling Sakaguchi Ango "the man with suit glasses".

Haiyin Temple Suyou was a little confused, as he had not expected such a development. Looking at the golden wish stick that the old man stuffed into his hand, his brain froze, as if he was holding a hot potato.

"I don't think you need to think too much about it. Just treat it as a reward. After all, you have eliminated the big guy in the Red Temple. For the original guy, the faith of the believers is much more important than this little thing. Just keep it with peace of mind."

Although neither of them is a good person, Li Buwei said in his heart, this original one still has some conscience, he thought, although it is a bit ridiculous to mention conscience with ghosts and gods.

"Although I don't understand what this golden stick is used for, but at least it's worth two coins or it can ward off evil spirits?"

The old man said uncertainly.

During the conversation, Haiyinsi Suyou was quite convinced of the old man's judgment, so he stopped asking questions and carefully put the book into his schoolbag.

Seeing Haiyin Temple put away his things, the old man's face suddenly became serious.

"I was careless in inviting you before. I apologize for that."

Unexpectedly, the old man actually apologized to him. Haiyin Temple Suyou felt very uncomfortable letting the old man do such a thing and hurriedly stopped him.

"It's nothing. I'm already very grateful that you were able to send us to the hospital and speak for me." Haiyinsi Suyou replied in a low voice.

"If you were an ordinary person, it would be much easier to enter and exit the country, alas."

Looking at the Haiyin Temple upstream, Li Buwei could only sigh in his heart. At that time, he only wanted to take the good seedlings back, but forgot about the almost strict assessment for foreign psychics entering the country.

I don't know why, but in recent years, even clairvoyants with slightly higher than D-level abilities have hardly been allowed to enter the country, let alone a child of Haiyin Temple's level.

It's probably because of that thing, Li Buwei thought as he looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes as gentle as if he saw a lamb that was about to be slaughtered. It involved the national level, and this was the last thing he could do to interfere.

Haiyin Temple Suyou didn't know what expression he should put on when facing such a topic.

"Maybe you would like to move to another place?" The old man suddenly smiled amiably.

"What?" Haiyinsi Suyou was a little confused. This topic seemed a little inappropriate.

"Maybe Chinatown would be a good place. If you don't want your house to be filled with eavesdropping devices, go there and I'll let my old friends take care of you."

After pondering for a while, Haiyin Temple agreed to the proposal. Although the house left to him by his parents carried too many memories, if he could get rid of some of the troubles from other places,

Or a place to live is not a difficult thing to decide.

"But you have helped me so much that I don't know how to repay you."

The black-haired boy's persistent gaze made Li Buwei unable to help but rub the boy's soft hair.

The boy's fragile neck was right in front of him. It would be so easy to kill the child. As long as he did so, everything seemed to be over, just like removing the launch button of a nuclear bomb before it was launched.

But he didn't do that in the end, he just said:

"Just remember what you are pursuing. Getting lost is the most terrifying thing."

After saying this ambiguous sentence, the old man seemed to have remembered something extremely important. He spoke in a serious tone, but said something that sounded like a witty joke:

"Don't listen to those people outside. They will only teach good kids bad things. It would be great if you could give a good kick to the ass of a bald guy or another old guy who is definitely not as handsome and suave as me."

Haiyin Temple Suyou blinked in confusion, but Zhongtian Santouhuo and a calico cat wandering around sneezed at the same time.

On the other side of the door, Sakaguchi Ango stood against the wall with an unclear expression. His eyes, which always seemed calm and composed, hidden behind sunglasses, showed a rare hint of confusion, but it was quickly suppressed by a deeper background.

"I'm doing the right thing." He kept repeating to himself, as if he was trying to confirm something, but even he himself was a little unsure.

He breathed in the air deep into his lungs and exhaled slowly, briefly feeling a little short of breath.

The content of the secret conversation between Taneda Santouko and him in the office seemed to be right before his eyes.

"You are angry, Sakaguchi-kun, this is not a good sign." The superior stared at him for a moment and spoke slowly.

This tone didn't sound like an accusation, so he asked aggressively: "I think there is no reason for me not to be angry about this matter. Haiyin Temple Suyou is just a kid who hasn't even graduated from high school."

"You're right." Unexpectedly, Taneda Santouko didn't refute his words, still wearing that disgusting formulaic smile.

When Sakaguchi Ango recalled that smile as if everything was under control, and thought of Kaiinji Suyu's rejection of him today, he actually had a rebellious urge to hope that Kaiinji Suyu's answer could shatter that smile.

This was not a good sign. Just like what Taneda Santouko had accused him of, he should have obeyed orders and performed his duties conscientiously, but he saw something else in Haiyinsi Suyu.

The boy's initial obedience might not have been due to his inexperience and helplessness as the superiors thought, but rather a kind of trust and longing. However, now they seem to have shattered that glittering thing with their own hands.

He suddenly remembered the death of the Kaionji couple, and Sakaguchi Ango suddenly felt a sense of revenge in his heart, which was not a bad thing.

It was really strange, he had never thought like this before, but today all his thoughts were so rebellious and bizarre, as if his puberty, which had been delayed for several years, had erupted at this moment.

Perhaps it was the old man's words just now that made him think this way, Sakaguchi Ango thought, and he had to painfully admit that perhaps Li Buwei was right.

'The ocean current cannot be stopped by a short dam. It will eventually flow into the sea. Even if the wind and sea are calm now, the undercurrent beneath the calm water will eventually tear apart all obstacles.'

The old man from another country was so calm that it seemed as if he was stating a natural principle that should be taken for granted, but Sakaguchi Ango knew that this was the fact.

His superiors, his superiors' superiors, those people were extremely wrong. From the moment they treated the Haiyin Temple Tour as their property, they were already extremely wrong and committed the unforgivable sin of arrogance.

Perhaps the success of their strategies over the years has made those people forget the taste of fear. Has no one ever thought that someone with such extraordinary talents, who is chosen with high hopes to become the one who controls something that can rewrite everything, can really be controlled and mastered by ordinary people?

No one has thought about it, or someone has thought about it

But he soon lost himself in power.

Ango Sakaguchi suddenly wanted to see the world of Kaionji Suyou, but he knew he couldn't do it. With such a terrible talent, even an ordinary person would collapse and fall apart if he wanted to share a little bit of it.

The fear of this world cannot shake that child in the slightest. The words are not half as fierce as the whispers that the child hears in his sleep. He cannot and will not be defeated by fear, because he will eventually use fear as a stepping stone to climb to a place where the stars cannot reach.

'We, no, this country needs someone to be the key to activate that extraordinary weapon, and Haiyin Temple Suyou is the most suitable person.'

"...We need him." Ango Sakaguchi suddenly couldn't tell whether Taneda Santouki was talking about "us" or "the country". He had faced the horror of desire countless times, but this extremely oppressive desire still made him feel painful.

Responsibility, the most damnable responsibility, was pulling him apart. He was torn and contradictory, indecisive and yet selfless.

The warm smile of a red-haired man flashed before his eyes. Sakaguchi Ango's eyes flickered for a moment, and he swallowed hard. His expression returned to the coldness he had at work.

He walked out of the hospital slowly, his steps surprisingly becoming lighter.

He should have reported the situation to his superior, but he just turned back for one last look at the window of the teenager's ward before leaving, and walked towards his apartment with a heavy heart.

His heart skipped a beat when he heard the door unlocked. The uninvited guest had been waiting in his room for a long time.

"Hi, Ango, long time no see."

The black-haired young man in a beige windbreaker was playing with the bandage on his arm out of boredom, swinging his legs on the counter, and thinking of a new way to commit suicide. When he heard the sound of his return, he immediately smiled a smile that was seriously inconsistent with his current identity.

A smile that is tinged with darkness, like a flower of malice.

Sakaguchi Ango suddenly felt a stomachache and vaguely thought that he might have some PTSD about smiling today.

"Dazai, come down from the cabinet and let's sit down and talk." Sakaguchi Ango changed his shoes at the entrance as usual and finally said.

The tone seemed to be the same as before, which made Dazai Osamu pause for a moment, and then he smiled nonchalantly, almost mockingly.
