Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 229 Reality
"You can go to rest," said the old man.

"It's okay, just wash the dishes, I have something to say." Nozomi Arakawa put the bowl aside, "I heard."

The old man's hands froze while washing the dishes.

"What did you hear?" The old man continued to wash the dishes, "The boys are talking bad things about people again?"

"You were on the phone in the woods today, and I heard everything." Nozomi Arakawa said.

The old man put down the bowl silently, "I don't remember teaching you to eavesdrop on other people's privacy."

"I just came to ask when you eat." Arakawa Wang said.

"Then...you want to tell those boys about this?" The old man looked at Arakawa in a complicated manner.

"It depends." Nozomi Arakawa said, "It depends on the reason you gave me."

In fact, he didn't know the content of the old man's call, he was just talking...and the old man took the bait.

"I won't hand you over." The old man sighed, "It's just that the others will be taken away."

Will others be taken?
What's the meaning?Nozomi Arakawa couldn't understand.

"What I want is a reason! I want you to say it yourself!" He stared at the old man.

"Remember when we first met?" the old man said quietly, "At that time you caused trouble, and I hid you."

Arakawa nods his head. He still remembers that they hurt the son of the local local snake. They have been wandering in the streets and alleys all year round, and they have naturally heard some gangsters tell about this local snake boss. He is vicious, unscrupulous, and quite defensive. If caught, the consequences would be disastrous.

"That local snake, his son committed a serious crime." The old man said, "He didn't want his subordinates to use his son as a scapegoat, so he came to me."

"You know him?"

"Well, anyway, he knew you were here at the beginning. After all, he searched all over the mountains and forests. Where else can you hide besides me? He promised me that as long as I hand you over to him, he can help me Get my money back, anyway, you have done all kinds of bad things over the years, so it's not surprising that you committed a big crime one day."

"Just because of this?" Arakawa Wang couldn't believe his ears, "For your money, you want to sell us all?"

"Except for you... boy, except for you." The old man tried to appease Nozomi Arakawa, "I need that money. In fact, I have a son abroad who is older than you. I will keep part of the money for him. When he needs it Do overseas investment, and then hand it over to him..."

Wang Arakawa listened silently, the old man was actually talking about money laundering methods.

He thought it was funny, an old man who taught a bunch of bastards about justice and kindness all day long, but he was doing money laundering and trying to sell these bastards to get back his lost money!

But the bastards are not very good people, the old man's kindness in taking care of them for several years is far less than a few gold bars in the safe!

Nozomi Arakawa now understood why the young master walked out of the forest with a gloomy face and agreed to the idea of ​​stealing gold bars.

You are unkind to me, and I am unrighteous to you.

Everyone knows what will happen if they fall into the hands of local snakes. They will be used as scapegoats and sent to prison, where they will spend their entire lives.

Even though they are poor now, they still have freedom, and the old man uses their freedom as a bargaining chip in exchange for money!
Just like a farmer and pigs in captivity, he spends effort and time to tame wild boars into domestic pigs, and when the pigs completely trust him, he will easily sell them to the slaughterhouse. I am afraid that by that time, I don’t know. The love pigs thought their master was going to take them on an outing.

"Don't worry, I won't hand you over to them." The old man's withered hands climbed onto Arakawa Nozomi's shoulders, "I will do what I promised you, I will send you to college and help you start a band... Although A lot of money belongs to my son, and that car also belongs to my son, but I have gold bars, I showed you the other day! It’s all in the safe!"

"Enough..." Nozomi Arakawa knocked off the old man's hand, "Enough, I have to leave."

He felt that if he didn't leave, he would not be able to control his actions against the old man.

It turns out that the warmth he has been receiving all this time is actually not so real.

It turns out that everyone has their own little thoughts, and everyone is just squeezed together due to the current situation. The companions are for survival and profit, while the old man is thinking about his son who does not know what illegal activities he is doing, and helps him launder money.

Only I have truly felt sad for this "home".

The world is so big, everyone is the same without them. If you lose your good friends, you can find another one. If you lose your home, you can build another one.

But what about the feelings that have been paid?

Some people say that everyone's smiles and tears in this world are limited, and they will be gone when they are used up.

If this is the case, then most of Arakawa Wang's smiles and tears were spent on this old house and the people in the old house.

His life as a white guest was piled up on the false lies of the old man and the ambitions of his companions. In the end, the lies were exposed and the ambitions were revealed, but he fell into the abyss.

For the companions, Baike is just a kind of fellow who can help find food, and the useless dogs should cuddle up to each other for warmth. Everyone has no real feelings, but they must unite to go on, and in fact they get gold bars Afterwards, after selling the car, they parted ways, never seeing each other until death, so Nozomi Arakawa was able to defeat them one by one.

For the old man, Bai Ke and even the boys are his companion dogs, to mediate the loneliness in life, and when necessary, they can also be sent to the slaughterhouse as fat pigs, anyway, no matter how many and beautiful How can your dog compare to your own flesh and blood?For any father, let him choose between his own flesh and blood and the family dog, the answer is obvious.

"We can talk." The old man still tried to keep Arakawa Nozomi.

"Old man, you don't need me. There are so many dogs, I'm just the lucky one." Nozomi Arakawa backed away slowly, "Actually, you can buy a real pet dog to accompany you... Thank you for your support over the years. Take care, and you'd better hold on to the knife by your pillow."

Now he finally understands what Wang Gu said to him before his death and the gold bars.

That is exactly what he deserved.

If he hadn't told about the gold bars, everyone would not have given up the current conditions and followed the young master away, and naturally they would have escaped from prison.

That gold bar was his reward, but he didn't like that reward.

Whether it's the group of companions who used to plan food in the garbage dump together, or the strict but gentle old man, he hates them all.

I hate them so much that I want to kill them.
