I rely on the vest to become the lord of ghosts

With the invincible balance as a prop to verify the authenticity, Jiuyuan can say without shame: there will never be fakes in his store that are not equal to the value paid by the customers.

Intelligence can be bought, and naturally you can also choose to sell it.

He can also resell the received information.

What he has to do is reverse realization.

Xuenan and the others expand their wealth in the world by expanding their organization, eating black people, and searching for money and resources. This wealth is enough for them to buy a lot of information on the black market. , they can filter out the most authentic and effective intelligence from it.

Then put the information in Jiuyuan's shop and sell it.

The people who traded with him in the shop were all monsters and dead souls. Of course, the bargaining chips used to exchange information were not money, but more precious items - usually these things could not be bought with money.

In this way, although it is troublesome, Jiuyuan is equivalent to exchanging human money for precious monster souvenirs.

And there is no worry about the problem of fake products, it can be said that it is a profitable business.

It's just... still short of manpower.

Hanako already has Oda Sakunosuke, a strong support staff, and now the front staff has experienced Zhufu Jingguang, and Xia Youjie, an all-rounder, or Hachichi can do it.It's as if each department already has a backbone, and then it only needs to hire some ordinary workers.

In contrast, on Xuenan's side, he has to deal with a large amount of external information, deal with the black market, and soon go out to contact other monster forces, but it is a bit powerless.

"...intelligence personnel and technical personnel are always the most lacking, really do not deceive me."

Life is not easy, Jiu Yuan sighed.

Now the intelligence technician in his hand was randomly retained from the small organization that was destroyed before. Because he needed his ability, he did not undergo high-intensity hypnosis. He was given a room alone, and he was cultivated with good food and drink.

"Mr. Xue!" The intelligence officer stumbled out of the room with his computer in his arms.

At this time, Axue was looking at the route to Yayuan, seeing the other party in a hurry, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Our line seems to be being targeted by someone...it's been attacked all the time." He stammered, for fear of making Ashue angry, "I don't know what the other party's purpose is, and they sent a strange pattern. Looks like a mouse..."

Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Ashe asked patiently: "What happened to the mouse?"

"...there is an organization called the Rats of the Dead House."

He told Ashe Cope: This is an illegal organization similar to a thieves group, and there is a highly skilled hacker in charge.However, he couldn't tell why the other party would take the initiative to pick them.

The little technician murmured in his heart: Although Mrs. Xue is scary...but they are not particularly rich and worthy of being targeted, right?What's more, hackers should be able to find out that they are not human, right?

It's just that he didn't dare to speculate on Ah Xue's thoughts, so he could only defend himself: "Among them are hackers with top skills... I can't defend myself."

It is easy to be suspicious of buying a large amount of information. If the level of intelligence personnel is not enough, it is not surprising that Jiuyuan will be monitored.

Ash nodded and said nothing.

However, Ah Xue's indifferent reaction made this person feel more uneasy.

... As a makeshift technician, I know that I am not a master. It is okay to be a helper in a small organization, but it is not enough to work in a group that has attracted much attention like Axue and the others.

This little technician knew in his heart how much he weighed, but...

He is afraid!

He was afraid that if he was useless, he would be killed by Axue and the others. Until today, he was really unable to control the situation at all, so he had no choice but to come out and report.

After all, if he messed up the affairs of these two horrible guys, he must die a miserable death!

"That's it..." Ashue said lightly.

The technician tightened his body, afraid that the other party's next sentence would be "Then go to Yokohama Port to feed the fish by yourself."

"Go and rest." Ashue said.

"Eh?!" He tremblingly said: "...Yes, does it mean that I can die in place?"

A Xue: "..." Do I look so scary?

"...I won't ask you for things that are beyond your ability." In order to save face, Ah Xue rarely explained to humans patiently. He said: "If you can't solve the problem, it doesn't mean that other people can't solve it either." .”

Fortunately, his desire to survive was strong enough, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to continue to follow up.

"Then... I know a few powerful hackers here, look..."

"Go get in touch." Axue waved her hand.

The mouse of the dead house...

At this juncture, there are not many people who will choose to confront them. Jiuyuan thinks that the intention of the other party is probably just to attract their attention, but unfortunately, he controls both the faction of relatives and the faction of non-relatives. However, if someone wants to profit from it, and has any unruly schemes, they are all transparent in Jiuyuan's eyes.

In other words, take the initiative to find an organization full of villains like Xue Nan... this guy is also a villain, right?

The more Jiuyuan thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible.

At this moment, he very much hopes that he has the skills to hit people along the net line.

In this way, the mouse can be pulled out directly along the network cable.

……

……

On Jiuyuan's side, everyone is still in complicated emotions because of Zhu Fu Jingguang's violent words.

"About three days ago, I met that man on the streets of Shibuya." Zhu Fujingguang recalled the scene at that time: "Wearing cassock...with loose hair, he looks almost exactly like Mr. Xia You, probably after growing up. your appearance."

If it was just suspicion at the beginning, but even the dress was the same, combined with the disappearance of his body, Xia Youjie couldn't deceive himself that it was a coincidence.

"...Is there anything else special about it? Is he alone? Or is he with other companions?"

"Alone." Zhu Fu Jingguang said, "But, there seems to be... is that thing called a curse spirit?"

Xia Youjie didn't think it was strange when he thought that his technique could manipulate the spirit of the curse.

It's just... I still feel unhappy.

Not only is the body being played with, but the ability is also used as a tool. Xia Youjie asked himself that he is not a person who is so generous that his body is used by others and can laugh it off.

He holds a grudge.

"Do you know where he went?"

Seeing their serious expressions, Zhu Fu Jingguang also knew the importance of this matter, but he didn't know much.

Shaking his head regretfully: "Sorry, I don't know very well."

Xia Youjie: "No, it's too late for me to thank you for getting such precious information."

Jiu Yuan looked at the restless Xia Youjie: "Are you going to Shibuya now?"

"Well. After all, it was news a few days ago. Before too much time has passed, I want to look for clues."

"……go alone?"

Xia Youjie expected Jiu Yuan to ask such a question, so he smiled reassuringly, "Well, I'll go alone."

Jiu Yuan disagreed somewhat.

If the other party had indeed done something to Xia Youjie, and now the genuine Xia Youjie is in front of him, if the other party finds out, he will have to suffer a lot, and if it is bad, he may be subdued.They didn't know what tricks that man had, what if Xia Youjie suffered a big loss?

Not to mention that Xia Youjie only has half of his soul now, and the curse spirits and monsters he can use are all little monsters that he picked up recently, and his strength has also been weakened.

It's impossible to say not to worry.

It's just that, during this period of getting along with Jiu Yuan, he also understood that Xia Youjie was not the kind of person who would be persuaded by him in a few words.

The boy sighed: "I see... Mr. Xia You."

Jiu Yuan thought that there was not much help he could give, Hua Zi was bound to the ground, so he couldn't move with Xia Youjie, and Ba Chi was too eye-catching, so he would only startle the snake.

After thinking about it, he endured the pain and bought Xia Youjie a set of clothes—it was the same style as the kimono he wore on the night of summoning his soul, but it was a black style, which could enhance defense and increase strength, simple and practical.

"You can wear this, and you must wear the mask." He said, "By the way, do you have unfinished cookies in there? Take it too."

He felt that he was very much like the member of the organization department who had a hard time playing games. When his family members went out, they not only had to change his equipment but also bring the recovery potion for battery life.

"...Do you want to give it to me?"

"Everyone is waiting for you to come back... So, I also hope that Mr. Xia You will put your own safety first."

After taking the soft clothes from the young man, Xia Youjie had the feeling that he had returned to his lifetime, and when he went out, he would be told to be safe and be careful in everything.

This feeling has been largely forgotten since his death.

(...I always feel, a little nostalgic.)

"Thank you." Xia Youjie replied sincerely.

Jiuyuan still couldn't let go.

He tried to suggest again: "Why don't you ask Mr. Gojo to join you? He should be very happy, anyway, you are also close friends..."

"Wu Wu, it's not okay." Xia Youjie almost denied the matter without thinking, "...After all, I was killed by Wu himself."

Although it was his good student and super fierce elementary school girl who seriously injured me... Xia Youjie complained in his heart.

Compared with Jiu Yuan who knew about it long ago, Zhu Fu Jingguang who was beside him at this time, who was originally out of the topic, actually had some mood swings.

Jiu Yuan cast a glance at him: ...It seems that this person's death also has a complicated and secret story.

Jiu Yuan shook his head, looked at Xia Youjie and said, "You don't want him to blame himself for this?"

"...It's a little troublesome to explain, but it's better for me to make it clear." Xia Youjie remembered that Jiuyuan didn't understand the magician, so he explained from the principle: "In order to prevent the curse from changing, or other possible In the event of a catastrophic situation, after the death of the conjurer, the corpse will go through special procedures before it can be disposed of. By the way, cremation is the first choice."

"It stands to reason that after my death, my body should be treated specially by Nitro, and then Wu will arrange for the burial..."

With this youthful face, Xia Youjie talked about his own corpse.

It sounds like a trance.

He smiled bitterly: "...Now it seems that there may be something wrong with my corpse disposal."

Jiu Yuan nodded: "...I understand."

As a close friend, Gojo Satoru may have some selfishness in this matter.

It's just that no one knew that things would be twisted like this.

"Although I really want to ask him what's going on..." The black-haired boy was very helpless, "But..."

"—Before the truth is confirmed, I don't want to burden him unnecessarily."

He said this, as if this incident might be just a false alarm, and there might still be room for maneuver, retaining the last glimmer of optimism in it.

However, everyone present knew that it was very likely that things were the worst possibility they had imagined.

It's just that no one wants to say such cruel words.

Xia Youjie knew it in his heart.

"——Then I wish you success, Xia You-kun." Looking at the back of Xia Youjie who had already put on the fox mask, Jiu Yuan added: "...We will all be here waiting for you."

Xia Youjie was a little surprised by Jiu Yuan's sudden speech.

The boy nodded this time and said firmly, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

……

……

After Xia Youjie left, Jiuyuan was about to start arranging Zhu Fu Jingguang's affairs.

The only place on his side that can accommodate people is the old house, and now only Oda Tsukuru and the children live in it, even if there are a few more Zhufu Jingguang, it will be more than enough.

So after he took Zhu Fujingguang over, he first said hello to Oda Saku and the others.

At this time, the red-haired man was wearing an apron and helping to clean up the dust on the second floor. When he saw them coming, he first looked at the faces behind him.

"This is our newly recruited clerk. Let's get to know each other, Mr. Oda?" Jiuyuan said with a smile.

"It's the first time we meet, I'm Zhu Fu Jingguang..."

Zhu Fu Jingguang said his name while looking at the man in front of him.

Although the aura is restrained, the aura of a person who has seen blood cannot be concealed from others, even though the person looks harmless on the outside...

But Zhu Fu Jingguang, who has undercover experience and is an excellent public security policeman, is a little complicated because he can see that the other party should have had a lot of blood in his life...

But, does Jiuyuan know about this?

He didn't ask directly.

To be able to make Hanako obey his orders, Jiuyuan is probably not an ordinary person.

Speaking of which, after he was brought over by Hanako, Jiuyuan didn't even introduce himself. He only said that he was the person in charge of the store, but he never mentioned whether there was someone behind him...

Zhu Fu Jingguang was not so naive as to think that he had joined the gang.

When his mind was surging, Oda Sakunosuke was also making quick judgments on the person in front of him.

The calluses on his hands and his quick and sharp reflexes are probably not ordinary professionals.

(Hmm... Ordinary people probably won't be recruited by the shopkeeper. Look at his reaction to me, is it a note?)

Odasaku thought calmly.

I still made an introduction: "Oda Sakunosuke." After thinking about it for a while, I honestly added: "...mainly responsible for making cookies."

Jiuyuan: "..."

It's so down-to-earth, those who didn't know thought they were a dessert shop.

The young man coughed lightly to break the deadlock, and said with a smile, "I hope you can get along in harmony in the future... By the way, Mr. Zhu Fu Jingguang was... well, excellent in grades and versatile... If you can, please teach us about it." children?"

"children?"

Oda Sakunosuke said: "We have five other children in the store."

Seeing that Zhu Fu Jingguang was puzzled, he added another sentence: "The dead soul of...."

Zhu Fu Jingguang: "...cough."

Also, there are almost no human beings here except the shopkeeper, he should have thought of it earlier.

"I understand, if it's an ordinary course, I can still try it...but I don't guarantee that I can do it well." He seemed to feel that it was a bit disappointing to say that, so he added: "However, if there is a right Children who are interested in music... I can try to teach it."

Jiu Yuan: "Can you play an instrument?"

"...Bess."

Jiuyuan imagined that his house was like a ghost house.Passers-by passed by and heard Beth's voice coming from inside...won't they complain that his house is haunted?

So Jiuyuan changed the subject without changing his face: "...That's also very good, but let's focus on cultural lessons first. Anyway, children can develop other hobbies slowly."

He said to Oda Tsukuru again: "He's here to stay today, maybe Mr. Oda has to take care of the newcomer."

"I understand." Oda Saku nodded and said, "I have nothing else to do, so I will continue to work."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Jiu Yuan looked at Zhu Fu Jingguang, "Let's come here to talk."

Open the room next to the second floor, still leaning against the balcony, the sunlight comes in with the heat of early summer.The boy pulled out the chair and sat down, tapping his knuckles on the table.

"Then, let me introduce again. My name is Huang Quanchuan Jiuyuan... Right now, I am running away from home. Let me be the owner of this shop. If you encounter any trouble, you can come to me directly. Let's find Hanako-kun."

"……I understand."

(The idea of ​​running away from home makes people very concerned, but judging by Jiuyuan's attitude...it seems that I don't intend to tell me more things.)

"Then, Mr. Zhu Fu Jingguang, I think you should have your own ideas when you choose to join this store? Can you tell me?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang didn't intend to hide it, he did have needs.

"I do have some personal reasons. It's just, it's a bit long, okay?"

"We don't lack this time." Jiuyuan said with a smile, "Besides, helping employees solve problems is also one of my jobs as a store manager. I hope you can work here without any worries, after all, we will get along for a long time. .”

"So... it started a long time ago."

Zhu Fu Jingguang narrated some of his experiences, mainly during the police academy, then entered the public security police, then became an undercover agent, and...his death.

Zhu Fu Jingguang was worried about his identity being exposed, and was about to commit suicide, but was stopped by other undercover agents.But the dramatic development did not stop. After hearing the sound of footsteps, he suspected that it was the enemy, and those who finally stopped him failed to prevent his death.

Who would have thought that the owner of those footsteps turned out to be his companion...

"...So, is this your obsession?"

The souls of the dead stay in the world, more or less because there are things that cannot be let go of the things in life.

Zhu Fujingguang's death had too many blunders and blunders, and Jiuyuan didn't know what kind of mood he was in to tell what happened at that time.

"...Do you want to meet your friend?" Jiu Yuan asked softly.

He tried to think, what would Zhu Fu Jingguang think when he saw his friend appearing when the consciousness of his soul had not dissipated?

There is no hostility or other bad breath on him, what Jiu Yuan can think of about his mood may be——

Regret and helplessness.

The young man in front of him looked at the table: "I want to see him, but... I don't want to either."

"...I don't know, what should I say if I do see him."

There was only a soft sigh in the room.
