Underworld 03 Corpse Soldier and Death Flower

When Aska came to the library, Ajiujin could fully guess what he would do next. There is a famous saying in the Japanese police unit called "Hundreds of Lives", which means: There must be clues left at the scene where the event happened. I've been there a hundred times, and there might be something missing.

But there is another metaphor, that is, you have to run your legs frequently. If you just stay in the office, the information will not jump out by itself.Ah, it might be the opposite for Akutsu. If this guy arrives at the scene, besides disrupting the search, evidence and the like might run away on his own because he can't stand the light wave of the genius.

Smiling secretly, he strolled to the library counter, where a secretary with silver-gray hair was sitting.Although the name written on the nameplate was Jin Huanyi, it was actually the exchanging of the soul core and the owner of the name, Shenqian Boxing.

After the soil spider incident, the god of the former flight officer, just after the "real" Jin Huanyi applied for parole for him, he continued to stay here safely to handle the collection.Side note: This guy gets along with Akutsu by accident.

"Yo." Aska greeted the other party.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Asuka." Shenqian said kindly.

"Where's your boss?" Aska asked.

"It's near the K16 cabinet. It's been tidying up since the morning." Shenqian replied.

"Oh."

"Also, can you convey something to Mr. Ajiujin for me?" Shenqian said suddenly.

"Okay, what's the matter?"

"The cake shop in Taishan Hall has launched the autumn chestnut series from today..."

"Ah, that, I've already bought it." Asuka waved his hand.Although he asked a runner to buy it, after all, Ajiujin is famous for hating crowds.

"Ah, ah, Mr. Ajiujin's speed of obtaining information is still the same, which I have always admired." Shenqian smiled.

"As long as you check the website of Taishan Hall often, you two are good brothers, and you are really enthusiastic about new products. Don't you even eat military dry food when you are hungry? I used to think it was the happiest The usual meal is to lean on the sofa and watch a B-level horror movie. On the table are the hot pizza received from the delivery hand, a bucket of crispy and greasy fried chicken, two large cans of Coke, popcorn and onion rings. Hot pizza on their tongues when a bunch of zombies get hit by a rushing car on TV."

Aska loosened his shoulders, and added: "That kind of beautiful cake or something, it might be too wasteful for me to eat it."

"How could it be? Food is food. To me, there is only a difference between delicious and unpalatable. No matter how it looks, it will always be delivered to the stomach." Shenqian said a pragmatic line.

However, in fact, Aska knew that it was not because the other party had that kind of personality relationship, but because the man in front of him really lacked aesthetic awareness and low sensitivity. Putting the cheap plaster statues together, the other party will probably say "both are good", which makes people vomit blood.

"I'll try it next time..." Shenqian suddenly pondered for a few seconds, "Pizza, fried chicken and Coke."

"Oh," Aska looked at the other party's seemingly serious expression, and couldn't help laughing. "Then I'm going to find Jin."

God nodded.

Aska walked to the K cabinet, poked his head into the bookcase and the bookcase, and immediately saw the former chief security officer Jin Huanyi—now a medium-sized, seemingly robust, crew-cut guy, who was scanning the pages of handicraft magazines on the bookcase into the electronic reading board in hand.

"What is this doing?" Aska asked curiously.

Jin turned his head and saw that it was Aska, so he said casually: "Use the big space, the oldest magazine is 40 years old, and new ones keep coming out, the cabinet is so full that it can hardly be filled, so I I plan to dispose of the magazines that are too old, but before that, I want to save all the content in this reading board first, and there will probably be one in each classification cabinet in the future. In case anyone really needs old materials, you can go to Copy it here."

"It's so sweet... You're just going to stay in the library safely? Don't you want to go back to work in the security office? Even with the reputation of being a void sniper, if you don't move your body occasionally, it will rust Right?" Aska leaned on the bookcase with his arms around his chest, looking at Jin who was still busy.

"I don't have such a desire to fight and kill now. If I have to say it, I am in the mood of "retiring". Of course, it is very important to sweep away evil spirits and track fugitives in this world, but Now it is quite remarkable to be able to serve the people of Ming Dao who want to use the resources of the library... and maybe occasionally people of the Dao of Heaven.” Jin casually threw a yellowed wool knitting monthly magazine that had been transcribed into the bottom with a scroll wheel in the recycling bin.

"Could it be that the time you've been locked up in the detention center has exhausted your experience and murderous intent? It's a shame. Logically speaking, you should regain your glory and swagger back to the security office to regain the chief position. "

"Hey, what's the matter? Asuka-san, do you have any plans? You have been advocating that I go back to the security office, do you still want to fight me? If there is a next time, I will not show mercy It's over." Jin finally turned his head to look at Aska, remembering the fight they had in the library before.

Due to the inconvenience of destroying the collection, I also understood that the other party was conflicted and angry at the time, so I couldn't fully use my hands and feet.

"If you lose, you lose, so don't be obedient. There are no rules in war. You start fighting when you catch the enemy, but you don't regret it after you die. If you want to compete fairly, go to the sports meeting. Come on." Aska said with a grin, "However, it doesn't seem like a bad thing if you can fight against you who are fully capable. Why, do you want to challenge me?"

Jin stared at Aska for a while, "Let's forget it, it's better to spend time sweeping the pages into the reading board than fighting with you. The mood, for the mood that you don't want to offend your family head, maybe it's even stronger?"

"Hey, please, what happened while I was away? Or should I say what kind of agreement was reached between you? "No fighting" is something that elementary school teachers would say." Aska tapped The bookcase, with a distorted expression.

Akutsu definitely said something to Kim when he didn't know.

And Jin showed a sly smile at this time, Aska felt that this expression was more suitable for the other party.

"It's not so much an agreement as it is..."Educational United Front", you know I owe a lot to Mr. Ajiujin." Jin Zhi pointed to his head.

Asuka knew that the other party was talking about Ajiujin's help in repairing part of the soul core.

"So, when the other party said: "When I can't stop that idiot from doing something stupid with violence, you help me give him a hard punch in the head", I readily agreed, so in the future I will only be with you Appearing when making trouble for no reason, as for other one-on-one duels, there may be no chance."

Aska clicked his tongue.Akutsu who is active is so annoying in a way!At first, I thought I would find a good opponent, and occasionally I might find someone to practice boxing.

"Personally, I think you should be happy. Few people in this world will receive the active care of Mrs. Akutsu. It's like an honor." Jin raised his palm a little frivolously, squinted his eyes and smiled.Although it has a simple and honest appearance, but the soul is different, and the temperament revealed is much different. "So when I received the text message, I was probably really taken aback. "That" Akutsu would actually use the point of "returning favors" to negotiate with me about this kind of thing."

"...News?" Aska raised his eyebrows.

"Well, just now. So the Educational United Front was formed just now, isn't it? I'm a mature adult. It's different to deal with a fake like you who has to force yourself to act like an adult. Please try your best to I match."

The way Jin patted his chest assured made Aska want to punch his nose flat.

And if the other party just received the text message, that is to say, shortly after he left the file management office, did Ajiujin immediately "take this insurance"?Hmph, the other party probably knows that even though he promised "not to start a war with someone", if there is a situation where he really wants to fight, he will probably forget about the agreement... That's why he deliberately Gold was "pulled in".

"I've always come here like this. Senior intellectuals are amazing? Don't make irresponsible remarks about other people's way of life. Now that you have retired from the front line, you still stand with justice and justice. Of course, We also spare no effort to actively participate in the educational policy of modern young people."

Looking at Jin's smile, Aska recalled that the other party said that he likes to be on the same side as the righteous side, and in order to achieve this righteous name, even a little despicable means can be forgiven.

"If I could, I really want to kick your stomach right now or dent your skull with a wrench." Aska twisted his wrist threateningly.

To be honest, he is better at dealing with the previous "Jin disguised by the gods", or maybe the "former Jin".Sharp and sly, with a black elegance in his speech.Maybe the essence hasn't changed much, but "Gold Now" has more pure human touch, and even the banter has become no longer as sharp as a knife.

Is it because some parts of the soul core are affected by the gods?

"It's an old crime of intimidation." Jin just smiled, "But the moment you make a move, I will try to stop you as much as possible, and I will sue Ajiujin. Believe me, this time it won't be just an accident Peach syrup is as simple as that...although I don't know what it is. By the way, you shouldn't come here on purpose to strike up a conversation with me, right?"

"Ah... ah, what, put on the face of an educator, hmph." Aska stuck out his tongue like a child, "I'm here to ask about "Kyoya Shirakawa", let me get some information. "

"Huh? About the captain?" Jin looked at Aska suspiciously.

"Well, you, the former chief security officer, used to work under that guy, right? What kind of person is he?"

"Asuka is becoming more and more like a private detective..." Jin laughed like a compliment, "However, if you want to get something, you have to exchange it first, after all, it is the officer I respect. , if there is no special reason, it doesn't feel good to have a hound with only white teeth showing around him sniffing around?"

"You want to hear the reason?" Aska lowered his lips.But Jin is right, he is not a policeman, nor a reporter, and if there is no good reason, the other party can ignore him.

"Curiosity killed the cat." Kim shrugged.

"It also kills people. By the way, meddling will end up in the same way." Aska said with a useless threat, "Your boss... ex-boss. May be a pedophile, or a long-term propensity to inflict violence on children."

pat!

Oh, what a traditional way of expressing surprise.The e-reader that Jin held in his hand fell to the ground and was entering a tutorial page on how to string crystal beads into cute animals.

"Impossible, I swear on the name of grandpa, the captain will not do such a thing. Although I have never seen grandpa." After Jin finished speaking, he bent down gracefully and picked up the reading board that fell on the ground.

"Don't swear on someone you don't know at all...or is this an excuse when something happens to the person guaranteed? No matter what, there is a victim here."

"The victim?" Jin was even more curious now.

"That's right, it's the kid who keeps walking around me." Aska announced.

"Huh? That little corpse soldier?"

"Whether Mao Li is a corpse soldier is still open to question. After all... he has never been a "human being". Going to the Pingzheng Hall to transform into a corpse soldier can move a little more freely than entering the hell, but basically still atones in a different way. If the uncle hadn't rescued me back then, I would probably have been one of them. ...Forget it, this part is irrelevant."

"What the hell is that kid?" Kim asked.

"Artificial soul. Ajiujin said, he doesn't need to lie to me."

Jin's mouth opened slightly, as if thinking about something, and finally closed it again.

"Although Mao Li is at the lowest level of the security team, he was in the same unit as you before anyway. Don't you have any doubts about this at all? It seems that you have a little interest in others." Ah Scar sighed.

Jin smiled wryly.

"Haven't you noticed? The horizontal connection here is actually very weak. We obey the orders of our superiors and work hard from morning to night. The circle of friends is actually surprisingly narrow. Although we used to be human, this is not the case here. In human society, even if you don’t expand your interpersonal relationship, it will not hinder your life at all, even if it looks like a cozy neighbor. When you are busy, you don’t recognize your relatives, and even with acquaintances, you only have official conversations. There are thousands of attitudes, so it is inevitable that the heart is calm or paralyzed, whether the child is a corpse soldier or not, "What does this have to do with us? ""

Therefore, this place is actually the most suitable home for people like Ajiujin... Aska couldn't help but think so.

"But this does not mean that we can easily indulge excessive criminal behavior, but "people who can enjoy a certain degree of freedom here will also have a certain degree of self-control", even if you are a little violent, and They will not draw out their knives arbitrarily and wave them at the document carriers passing through the corridor, or lie in ambush in the less-traveled passages, waiting to attack whoever is alone. Robbing items, peeping at money, sexual crimes, and killing people for pleasure, not so much It's not allowed here, it's better to say that there are no people who are purely motivated by desire to do so here, and even if you are a criminal who turned into a public official like you, once your ability is too outstanding, you will be subject to security guards. Long-term monitoring by the team, or directly depriving most of their mobility. Although the Sixth Division Mansion and the Ten Kings Hall both call this "thief's den" in private, basically, the people here are just slightly different in character. It’s only partially distorted.”

Also, because of the city god Gao Xun, he will not be interested in those who are simply driven by vulgar desires and made mistakes in the mortal world.Since he is not interested, he will not let the other party stay here, it is so simple and clear.

"Have you distorted... part of the program?" Aska sneered.

indeed.I, Jin, Ajiujin, and even Yu Gong, who has been transferred to the Hall of Ten Kings, all tend to be skewed.Rather than saying that he has traveled all over the road of life, it is better to say that there may be that kind of unstable gene from the very beginning.

"It's not just me who made an exception and was left behind, right, because there are so many weirdos here, maybe... your beloved captain is also one of them."

"I don't deny that." Shenqian admitted honestly. "But I believe it's not because of that kind of low-level interest that I did anything to that child. Besides... If the child is really an "artificial soul", then it is no big deal at all, let alone the incident of injury, even the prosecution There is no need for it... Ah, of course, if you want to criticize, please feel free."

Aska looked at him suspiciously.

"Oh, it's because it's an artificial soul. There's nothing to make a fuss about using things for experiments," Jin said coldly.

"Mauri, you have your own will! Even if there are not many, even if the expression is blunt, I don't, not only me, even Ajiujin also treats him as an ordinary child. Ajiujin just sent him out to buy Cake, the two of you must be having a great time eating together now, if it was just an experimental prop, it wouldn’t trigger this kind of emotion.” Aska drank in a low voice.

Jin knew that his words and actions just now angered Aska, but he didn't show apology, but just said matter-of-factly: "Indeed, if it's a purely artificial soul, it's just the instinct to attach itself to a body. That child is indeed It’s different from that kind of thing, ah, maybe it’s similar to alchemy dolls.”

"Huh?" Aska couldn't help but let out a strange bewildered sound because he heard the inconceivable noun.

alchemy?This guy just said alchemy?What era is it now, are you still talking about ancient science that is about the same time as witch hunting?

"Don't underestimate alchemy. It's a black technology between magic and science. Although you don't think you want to know, there are secret organizations like the Sorcerer's Guild in this world. Weapons There may be some contact with Zuo Jin from Shang." After Jin finished speaking, he resumed his monotonous scanning operation.

"...Well, I don't think it's something in this story."

"It's really not, so don't pay too much attention to it. I just said the possible reason for the child's creation. The point is, what do you want? What do you want to pursue? I want to know why the captain wants to create the child. Is there a reason?"

"It's not clear at the moment. All I can do now is to investigate the matter of Bai Chuan slightly. Ajiujin has already warned me that even if we fight, we can't win. If so, we can only Do your best not to let the situation turn into that.”

"It's a good idea for you. The captain is very strong. If you let him do it, you should be minced in an instant. It's not a matter of physical ability, but a matter of "rank." Jin nodded .

"I also guess that's the problem. If the ranks are similar, I shouldn't lose in terms of fighting skills." Aska said helplessly.When he first entered Hades, once, he was pinned down by a girl who looked like a Lika doll.

It was later learned that the other party was one of the managers of the Ten Kings Hall, Pingzheng Wang Huiye.During the confrontation, the body can't move freely at all, and the other party looks like a creature living in a different world, full of oppression, as if if you just move a little finger, you will be cut into pieces.

That's not a gap that can be caught up with hard work and special training.He thoroughly felt this matter with all the cells in his body.

"Mao Li seems to have several artificial souls in his body. Judging from his own unwillingness, he should have been forced into it by Bai Chuan." Seeing Jin's expression of incomprehension, Aska had no choice but to say again. : "Bai Chuan is doing a very strange thing. It seems that for a long time in the past, he has been making the same person's traits and personality into an artificial soul. Whenever that person dies and comes back to the underworld, he Copy it again, and then put that thing into Mao Li's body."

And tomorrow is the day of death of "Yazaki Yumeka".The cause of death was acute renal failure.If Bai Chuan had been doing this regularly all along, the other party would definitely do it again tomorrow.

As Akutsu said, it doesn't matter if you don't know the reason or something, the point is to solve the problem.Of course, the easiest way is to knock down the opponent, when this way seems to be unreasonable.

"Thus, Mao Li is now suffering from several soul cores fighting in his body. If he goes through it again, he may be broken. I came here to prevent this. So I hope you can tell me something about Bai Chuan intelligence."

"Actually... well," Jin finally became serious, "I don't know the captain very well."

"..."

Traditional expression: Askar is thinking whether it would be better to wrestle on the spot.

"I can only tell you the official evaluation, so it doesn't matter?" Jin laughed, ignoring Aska's murderous gaze and Karakala's knuckles.

"Go ahead."

"The work is serious and responsible, with a little romanticism in personality, and will pay attention to small details, such as festival gifts and packaging. It is very strict when working together. If you can't complete the cleaning of degraded dead souls within the time limit , Being scolded so much that you can’t hold your head up is also a daily tea and meal. But in private, he is very polite to others, and he is a person with no obvious shortcomings. Above." Jin finished briefly.

Askar frowned.No, if it’s only this level, it’s pointless to ask Jin specifically.Anyone who catches any member of the security department may answer himself in the same way.

"Don't show such a disappointed face, there is another piece of information from my side that may "actually" help you." Jin raised his finger.

"Oh?" After feeling a little tricked just now, Aska squinted at the other party.

"It has nothing to do with the captain, but... it has something to do with "soul research"." Jin smiled, "Compared to going to the captain, isn't it more convenient for you to solve the child's problem directly?" ?”

"It's true..."

"Then, let's go to Shenqian. Ever since he took over my soul shell, he has been devoting himself to this area of ​​research. Although Ajiujin was the one who helped me recover in the end, it cannot be said that all these years have yielded nothing. Telling him about the kid's condition might help."

After finishing speaking, Jin raised the corners of his lips and looked at Aska who was finally slightly satisfied with his answer.
