[Izzy] Career

Dark, sticky soil.Inside are buried pale pink cherry blossom petals.

Qi Ya looked around while walking.

The soft ground sank slightly under his feet, as if there was a sigh of life. Every step he took, he could feel the rhythm of the land breathing.Huh... this mountain seems to be full of a strange vitality.

The surroundings are pitch black, but it doesn't make people feel cold or frightened. Qiya looks curiously at the flickering light in the distance. There is no sunlight here, but there is a nostalgic familiar atmosphere.warmth.The darkness is like the tone of a mother's womb, as if seeing nothing, yet as if it is enough to perceive everything.

"Where do you want to go, kid?"

Qi Ya stopped, and at the end of the road appeared a man dressed as a monk. Qi Ya glanced at him. The monk was wearing an ancient robe, and his face could not be seen clearly through the foggy darkness, only a hoarse voice It reveals that the age of the speaker is already old.

Why is the old man pretending to be mysterious?kid?Qi Ya rolled his eyes with some displeasure, but thought of agreeing to his father's words, he had no choice but to agree.

"Ooh," he said. "I'm going to the cemetery of the Beater's family."

"Oh..." The old man on the opposite side stopped talking, he kept stroking his beard, and looked up and down at the silver-haired kid opposite him.

Qi Ya looked at the sky as if nothing had happened, and tapped the ground with one foot impatiently.

The old man clasped his hands, walked back and forth beside Qi Ya, and even circled around Qi Ya in the end. When Qi Ya's patience was approaching the limit, the old man spoke. "Little friend, then you are the next successor of the Dadi Hakka family? That place is not for everyone. If you want to play hide-and-seek, you should go to other places."

The voice seemed to be full of strong doubts.

cut.Qi Ya withdrew his gaze, and grinned without a smile on his face. "Yes, I am." After a pause, he added. "But why should I tell you?" Are you dissatisfied?smelly old man.I added another sentence in my heart.

"You don't have to tell me." The old man said.Qi Ya seemed to feel that he was being stared at.

"However, if you don't respect me, don't even think about going. Just go home obediently." Qi Ya felt that he was given a blank look again.

The old man snorted, and put his hands behind his back in a gesture of asking yourself.

If you don't tell me, I won't go by myself?Qi Ya shrugged, ready to move forward.

"stop!"

There was a loud shout from behind.Qi Ya turned his head helplessly and said. "Old man, can I not bother you? If you are not willing to tell me, I will go by myself. You can enjoy the cool here."

"Why are young people like this now? Huh?!" The old man rushed over angrily, grabbing Qi Ya's ear.

"Hey—" Qi Ya yelled in pain.He wanted to resist, but for some reason, his whole body was weak. He wanted to use his thoughts, but he couldn't even find a breath.

"Stinky old man! Let me down quickly! Otherwise, I'll kill you!" Qi Ya shouted.

Then he fell to the ground, and the soft soil seemed to turn into a steel plate in an instant, causing a big bump on his head.

While rubbing his head, Qi Ya raised his head and saw the old man folded his hands, looking down at him majestically.

"Hmph." The old man said disdainfully. "The vigilance is too low, the reaction speed is extremely poor, the cautiousness is zero, the attitude is arrogant, you don't know how to respect your predecessors, and your personality is bad. Just relying on you, you want to continue to beat the enemy's family?"

Qi Ya got up and patted the dirt on his body.

Inexplicably beaten, then inexplicably scolded, the power of thought disappeared without a trace.Qi Ya felt an unknown fire in his heart, and he gave the old man a sideways look.How dare I say it, I will kill you.

"Oh, only the eyes are not bad." The old man said, his tone was very reluctant.

He walked around Qiya again, as if he was trying to discover his merits.At the end, the old man Yang Tianchang sighed. "Sigh... It's really not as good as one generation after another. When Jie Nuo came, I thought there was hope for beating the enemy Hakka." The grief was beyond words.

"Hey hey hey hey," Qi Ya interrupted the old man's grief and indignation.It was the first time someone picked on him like this, and it was quite fresh. This person actually knew Grandpa. Could it be that he is also some kind of ruthless character, so let's talk about him first.Qi Ya changed his mind, stood up obediently, and showed a harmless and cute smile. "Old man, who are you? You seem to know a lot about my family?"

"Nonsense!" said the old man. "Can I not understand? These unworthy descendants make me want to live all day long."

"Huh?" Qi Ya said. "Descendants? Could it be that you are... Could it be..."

"Could it be something?" The old man angrily put his hand on Qi Ya's head, grabbed that silver hair and ravaged it. "I am your great-great-great-great-great-grandfather! Beat the enemy for the first time!"

"What—" Qi Ya was so shocked that he forgot to resist.

Great great great great great...grandfather?Beat the enemy I?Family founder?The world's first famous killer?One of the discoverers (clarifiers) of the ability to think?It looks like the one with a portrait hanging at home?

But, but!

Shouldn't Beating the Enemy I be a tall and mighty, calm and majestic, calm and rational, ruthless killer who looks like a peerless master at first glance, exuding an indescribable aura all over his body?

how come……

"You lied!" Qi Ya said loudly. "It's not so easy to deceive people from the transformation department." He stared at the old man in front of him, and the old man also stared at him.

"Damn brat," said the old man. "Didn't Shiba tell you that the first step in the procedure of beating the enemy's family is to go to the family cemetery to worship and get the approval of the ancestors? Didn't he tell you that there must be a mysterious figure in that place to guide you?" Go or you will die ugly? Didn't he tell you that once you step into this mountain, anyone will automatically become a 'absolute' state, so it's best not to do it? Didn't he tell you that you must be respectful and listen to the mysterious person Teaching? Even if Sheba, a simple-minded fool with strong limbs, didn’t tell you, wouldn’t Jeno tell you? Or is it that Jeno has fallen so depraved that he doesn’t even know what family honor is?”

The old man asked a series of questions, and Qi Ya's eyes opened even wider.

Although the old man showed an unreliable feeling everywhere, these words were indeed explained by his father.Why go to worship alone, you must respect when you see a mysterious person, Qiya recalled the scene of talking with Sheba before going up the mountain, and suddenly remembered that Sheba's expression was a little unnatural when talking about the mysterious person, and Jeno On the sidelines, he coughed in earnest.Qi Ya felt that he understood...

A moment of silence.

"I understand," Qi Ya murmured.

"What do you know?" said the old man.There seemed to be a hint of joy in his tone.

"I understand Dad." Qi Ya said dejectedly. "His mood back then must have been as sad as mine...the idol's disillusionment..."

The old man folded his hands and said nothing.

Qi Ya thought he would yell angrily again, but unexpectedly he didn't.He glanced at the old man, and seemed to feel that the old man was staring at him in the darkness. It was a very quiet gaze, almost the silence of the grave.

"Little ghost, do you know why there is such a program?" the old man said calmly.

Qi Ya pondered for a few seconds. "To make the ancestors happy."

"Idiot..." The old man squeezed out two words between his teeth. "You must often be with idiots of the enhancement system, so you have become stupid."

"That's right." Qi Ya whispered.But I'm not stupid.I secretly said in my heart.

"Forget it, I'm sorry you can't think of the profound intentions here." The old man said.

"Grandpa," Qi Ya saw that the situation was not looking good, and hurriedly switched on the trick-or-treating mode, striding to the side of the old man, showing an innocent smile. "Just give me some pointers, for the hope and future of the family, right~~~"

"Listen well," said the old man. "Everyone has mental weaknesses, some people are aware of it, some people are not aware of it. Our family, because we are engaged in occupations that are different from ordinary people, so we often have weaknesses that are different from ordinary people, different hobbies, different Different from the desire of ordinary people, different from the fear of ordinary people."

"Everyone in the world is afraid of death, and we are a family that lives with death. It seems that we are not afraid of death, but this does not mean that we have transcended the world and have no fear or desire. You have to remember that killers are also human beings. Many human weaknesses can be overcome through hard training, but at the end of the day, killers are still human."

"I am the oldest beating enemy, but even I can't fully remember the history of this family. In the family tree that has lasted for hundreds of years, there have been many people with strong telekinetic ability, not to mention people with personalities. I have seen quite a few children with abnormal mental abilities and outstanding talents. Some of them became outstanding killers and inherited the family business, but many left the family to seek their own development, and some even became bounty hunters. At the beginning, I felt angry, but now, I have some understanding. After all, no matter how you beat the enemy, you will end up here."

Qi Ya glanced at the deep darkness around him.There was no one, but he seemed to vaguely feel that many people were watching him. Some of the eyes were serious, some were disdainful, some were friendly, and some seemed familiar, like the eyes of parents, piercing the darkness come here.Qi Ya couldn't help but feel a little panic in his heart.

This is a sense of oppression different from that of Kululu Mountain, which makes him feel a long-lost heavy bondage that he wants to escape.

"If you want to become the heir of the Dadike family, then remember that the family should not demand themselves by the standards of ordinary humans. Those emotions and habits that have nothing to do with occupations should be discarded as much as possible, but never forget, no matter how much you discard. No matter how sophisticated and efficient the killing machine that beats the enemy family is, it is still a human being."

"Understood?" said the old man.

Qi Ya frowned and thought for a few seconds, then said. "However, the education I received before was not like this. 'You are a dark puppet without humanity, and only killing people can make you happy.' That's what he said, always..."

"Who is he?" said the old man. "These words don't sound like Jeno and Sheba's tone."

"Oh," Qi Ya smiled, his eyes dimmed slightly. "My elder brother said it. I was trained by him. He is a very good killer."

"Oh? You think he is excellent?" the old man said.

"Yeah." Qi Ya was a little surprised, "He was able to stand alone very early, and his performance was also good. When we were young, our parents said that we should learn from him."

"Brat," said the old man. "To see people, you have to learn to see through appearances."

Qi Ya tilted his head suspiciously. "But Big Brother is a good killer, everyone says so. Isn't he?"

The old man didn't speak, Qi Ya seemed to feel that he was looking at him and smiling.

That kind of laughter had an unfathomable taste, and Qi Ya began to feel uncomfortable again.

"The person who wants to be the head of the family has to judge by himself, really." The old man seemed to have noticed the change in Qi Ya's mood, and said. "When I was your age, I already had insight into the world."

"Yes, you are amazing." Qi Ya said listlessly. "I can go now, old man. Tell me how to get to the graveyard?"

"Oh, what a fool," said the old man. "You are here now. Otherwise, who do you think I am, I am a ghost, and the place where ghosts haunt is of course a grave."

Qi Ya took a step back, pointed at the old man and said. "do not come!"

"Are you afraid?" said the old man.

"Uh," Qi Ya rubbed his head, "Actually, he doesn't seem to be afraid."

"They're all ghosts who beat up the enemy's Hakkas. There's nothing to be afraid of." The old man looked at the dark sky. "Sooner or later, you'll join us too. Go, kid. I'm leaving."

"Hey," Qi Ya called. "You just left, isn't it too irresponsible? Where am I going? What should I do?"

"Cut... a person who even asks me about such a trivial matter, is he worthy of being my heir..."

The voice drifted away, Qi Ya looked back, and there was no one around.

Just dark, sticky soil.The light pink cherry blossom petals are mixed like snowflakes.Crystal clear.

There is an elegant fragrance in the air.

Refreshing, like the tranquility and nostalgia of going back in time.

Qi Ya flickered, then raised his eyes again, and suddenly he was in a bright cherry tree grove.

Pink cherry blossoms are piled up on the branches, and the delicate petals are still stained with dew, like colorful snow falling, as light as feathers, fluttering.Qi Ya stretched out his hand, and a few petals fell on his palm, melting like snow in an instant.

Looking up and looking closely, each cherry tree has a different posture, some are tall and tall, some are slender, some are still young, and some have weird shapes, stretching out their teeth and claws in the dark.
