Akutagawa's Life as a Savior

The smell of the steaming soup whets the appetite, so Kurapika took out a bowl and shared it among several people.

When he handed the bowl to the stranger named Akutagawa Ryunosuke, he was greeted with a polite "Thank you" in reply.The voice is clear and pleasant, which complements his good looks.

Kurapika also smiled, indicating that you are welcome.

After the last one filled the soup and sat down, he couldn't help thinking about this person.Judging from the voice, this is a relatively reserved person, but when he speaks, his tone is short and firm, and his articulation is clear. When he looks at people, his gaze is also very direct, without any deviation from avoidance. He should be a direct and very confident person.

No wonder Xiaojie likes him, but when he looks at him, he can feel a lot of pressure, which reminds him of the impressive Hisoka and the head of the phantom troupe, Kurolo Rushiru.

But the feelings of these three people are also very different. The pressure Akutagawa brings to people mainly comes from his own strength, and there is no sense of danger brought by malice.It's hard not to feel stressed when you're sitting next to a T-Rex, even if he's not hostile.

Hisoka's fear comes from his dangerousness, his unpredictable nature, his prey-like eyes, and the tremors caused by the possibility of killing people at any time. This person means danger itself.

But Kurolo is terrifying in another sense. The most terrifying thing is that he doesn't regard you as a human being, or he doesn't regard himself as a human being.As a person, Kurolo has no empathy. The way he looks at a person is like a scalpel dissecting the human body. He dissects every corner of your heart with a lofty attitude. He is very cold and detached. .

From the first impression alone, Kurapika tends to agree with Xiaojie's judgment of Akutagawa Ryunosuke, but Kira's concerns are also very reasonable, and he is ready to respect Kira's decision.

Xiaojie obviously thinks the same way, he likes this father's friend very much, but whether he wants to go with him is obviously more important for the other two companions, and Akutagawa himself may not be willing to go with them.

But Xiaojie is still very confident.Although Mr. Akutagawa is taciturn, he is actually very easy to get along with. Although he looks unreasonable, he is actually very tolerant. Kira and Kurapika should also like him.And there is no doubt about Kira and Kurapika, he doesn't believe that anyone would dislike them for no reason.

He decided to use chat to get closer, and by the way, he thought of a topic wittily.

"Kurapica, do you know that Mr. Akutagawa once worked as a bounty hunter, although he only did it for a short period of time, but the number of wanted criminals he arrested was as high as hundreds, filling several hunter prisons at that time , sounds really powerful."

"Didn't you also want to be a bounty hunter? I think you can ask Mr. Akutagawa for advice."

"Hundreds of wanted criminals from the Hunter Association?" Kurapika raised his eyebrows in disbelief. "Ordinary criminals are not eligible to be wanted by the Hunter Association, let alone be imprisoned in the Hunter Prison. In a short period of time..."

"Wait, it seems that there is such a person, ah, if I remember correctly, you are 'Rashomon'?" Kurapika suddenly became excited, staring at Akutagawa with burning eyes.

"It's me. The code name I used back then was Rashomon." Facing Kurapika's scorching eyes, Akutagawa looked away a little unaccustomed to it. They are all irrelevant people, and the person in front of him is someone he positions as a junior.

To be honest, this was the first time he faced the existence of a friend's child.The closest experience ever was Izumi Kyoka, but Kyoka was his disciple, and he taught him like Mr. Dazai.

Of course, he now knew that although that education method was effective, it had its drawbacks.This is understandable, because Osamu Dazai was just a child when he was teaching him.

Although Akutagawa always looks at Osamu Dazai as a god, Osamu Dazai is also a human being who makes mistakes and has unknown and impossible things.

In the ghost killing team that has been in the longest, he joined the team early and was young, and his group members are all young. The only one who can be called a good friend is Xing Shoulang, who seems to be single until his death.

Not to mention in Mafia, Dazai Osamu is single, Nakahara Chu is single, Ozaki Koyo is also single, and Mori Ogai is even single.Although there is Alice, I didn't know she was a supernatural body before, and I always thought that she was the leader's restraint, let alone treat her like a junior.

This is Akutagawa's first experience of being an elder.This feeling is quite strange, the three children treated him with respect and dependence, which made him unconsciously serious.

"Jin once suggested that I try the life of a hunter. I'm not interested in food or Eudemons. I'm only good at fighting, so I tried to be a bounty hunter for a while."

Akutagawa answered their questions as frankly as possible, but it was a bit difficult. He was not good at understanding others, and most of them had different concerns from him.

"Although the journey with Jin was very interesting, and Jin also likes the job of hunter, but for me, bounty hunter is not very interesting. It is similar to my last job, very boring, just accept tasks, find people, and then Killing him or arresting him, then accepting the mission, and then finding people, is very boring and monotonous, and finding people is very troublesome. So after doing it for a while, I gave up and went to play elsewhere.”

"Yes, is that so? Why is this not the same as the bounty hunter in my impression?"

Kurapika's expression was a bit dull, "Bounty hunters should not punish evil, fight wits and bravely with evil in the midst of danger, chase dangerous prey in the jungle, and may sacrifice at any time, very cool, very righteous and very dangerous business?"

"Very cool, hahaha, Kurapika, you've been exposed!" Kiya laughed unceremoniously, "One of the reasons why Kurapika, who has always been prudent, chose the bounty hunter is because it sounds cool, Hahahaha, I laughed to death."

"It's not funny, Chiya, didn't you think legal killing sounded cool when you were taking the hunter test? Although Kurapika said it was a bit funny, haha."

Xiaojie answered the words very naturally, intending to protect his friend, although he accidentally laughed.

"Hey, that's enough, you two!"

Veins popped into Kurapika's head, "Is it that funny? Bounty hunters are supposed to fight evil and protect others. I take this job very seriously!"

"Actually, being cool isn't funny, it's funny when you say it out of your mouth. Maybe this is the contrast and cuteness. The most mature Kurapika said something like this, haha."

Qiya was about to laugh again, and seeing that the dark air on Kurapika's face was about to come out, he quickly changed the subject, "Stop laughing, stop laughing, ah, yes, just now Mr. Akutagawa said that bounty hunters are boring , I think the biggest reason is that he is too strong. After all, the biggest pursuit of a hunter is to surpass himself, and the bounty hunter obviously has no challenges for him."

"I think so too. Akutagawa-san said that it's fun to be with Jin. What's interesting is actually exploring with friends, just like Kira and Kurapika, I feel happy because I'm exploring with friends. "

"And Mr. Akutagawa, you can't find your pursuit in the bounty hunter, so naturally you find it very boring."

Akutagawa thought for a while and replied: "Indeed, justice and evil are meaningless to me, and conquering others by strength is also very boring, but if you want to become stronger, being a bounty hunter is indeed a very effective method. To all kinds of enemies, use all means, and you will never die."

As soon as he spoke, the three people who were fighting naturally stopped and listened carefully to him.

"As long as you don't die, the fastest way to become stronger in actual combat is always. When I was a bounty hunter, I met many clever telekinetics. Once, I went to find a serial killer who killed hundreds of people and walked in the city. I was suddenly caught in the crowd. It turned out that he heard the news, ambushed on my only way, opened his eyes and took a look at me."

"Yes, I just took a look. His ability is to control people with his eyes. The longer he closes his eyes, the stronger his power will be when he opens his eyes to see people. The simpler the instructions, the stronger his power. He usually takes the image of a blind man Appearing, when encountering a strong enemy, as long as he hides in the dark, he can easily freeze the person or even control the action, and then walk over and take off the enemy's head."

Kurapika listened intently, simulating in his mind how he should get out of such a situation. After much deliberation, he could only raise his vigilance beforehand or rely on his companions. He couldn't help asking: "So how did you turn defeat into victory at that time?"

Akutagawa replied calmly: "I didn't turn defeat into victory, I just wasn't controlled from the beginning."

The three of Kurapika were all shocked by this answer. A mind ability that is so restrictive can't even work on him. How strong is he?How much will he think?

"But this is just my answer. If you can't be as overwhelmingly strong as me, you must use your wisdom and tactics to defeat the enemy, and then become stronger through the tempering of the battle."

"And I'm doing it for a stupid person, because they can't be dexterous and changeable, so they can only rely on fighting to make a living for themselves. Smart people are different, they don't need to use violence to achieve their goals, everything in the world It is a chess piece that they manipulate."

Xiaojie exclaimed, "Is it so powerful? It's unimaginable."

Qi Ya next to him curled his lips, "It's too exaggerated. I admit that smart people use their brains very well, but only strength is the foundation of everything. Relying on the brain to control everything is like an ant lifting a tall building with its talent. .”

Kurapika asked dubiously, "Has Mr. Akutagawa ever seen such a person? I always feel that Mr. Akutagawa's tone is nostalgic when he says it."

Akutagawa glanced at Kurapika in surprise, his senses were very keen, "Yes, my teacher is such an intelligent person outside the standard, he is the strongest person I have ever seen."

"But there's nothing to say, you won't meet him too."

Seeing Akutagawa's attitude of avoiding talking about it, the three of them were curious but didn't entangle any more. Only Qi Ya suddenly remembered something and asked, "Do you know the head of the Phantom Troupe, Kuroro Rushiru? I think He should also belong to the kind of smart person you said."

"Krollo Rusilu? I don't have any impression, but the Phantom Troupe seems to have heard of it."

"Ah, I remembered, is it related to spiders? The leader is a man with black hair and black smoke?"

"That's right, it's him, with an inverted cross tattooed on his head, have you seen him too?"

"Ah, of course, the only time I missed as a bounty hunter was them. At that time, their leader made an offer that I couldn't refuse, and made me give up hunting them. It was his words, although it was far worse than that. My teacher, but he is indeed a smart man."

"When did that happen?" Kurapika seemed to have noticed something, and asked Akutagawa with a trembling voice.

Akutagawa looked sideways at Kurapika, "About five years ago."

Kurapika lowered his head, clasped his trembling hands tightly, and tried hard to contain his emotions, but with Akutagawa's eyesight, he could clearly see that Kurapika's eyes instantly became fiery red like blood.

"Do you have any enmity with the Phantom Troupe?"

Kurapika's eyes had turned red, and he said with some difficulty: "Yes, I am from the Kuruta tribe, and all my people were killed by them, just because of the red eyes. They put the eyes of my tribe All were dug down, except for me who happened to be absent, all the clansmen fell to the ground covered in blood, with black holes in their eyes."

Kurapika's eyes were breathtakingly red under the sun, but sad beyond words.

Akutagawa was silent for a while, and said: "I remember that after letting them go, I soon heard that they intensified their killings and even massacred a nation."

"Yes, just five years ago."

Even Akutagawa was speechless for a while, Xiaojie and Qi Ya were even more speechless, wanting to speak but unable to speak.

"Sorry, I let them go and let them commit such a crime. It's just that if it happens again, I still can't refuse the condition they proposed."

Akutagawa is frankly annoying.

Kurapika's eyes were bloodshot, but he still shook his head and forced a smile, "No, it's not Akutagawa-san's fault, I can't blame the person who failed to kill the enemy just because of your powerlessness, it's unavoidable It's too unreasonable, and besides me, no one has the obligation to kill the Phantom Troupe, this is just what I have to do."

Akutagawa looked at Kurapika seriously. Although the boy in front of him was in pain, his eyes were still clear and firm. He was obviously speaking the truth.

This is a good boy.

He thought for a while, "Do you want to be my disciple? Although I can't take the initiative to fight spiders, I can teach you to become stronger and let you kill them with your own hands."
