[Wen Hao] I worked hard to restore the health of the protagonist group

Taguchi Rokuzo raised his eyebrows slightly, "As expected, you guessed it."

Xie Shuyi said calmly, "So, the Five Decays of Heaven and Man actually have another goal."

"Yes, their real intention is the [Great Directive]. One of the three sealed disasters." Taguchi Rokuzo slid the mouse, and the computer page showed a heavily guarded fortress. "An extremely ominous supernatural weapon that can manipulate minds was born during the war. It is now stored in the Antarctic joint jurisdiction base of Britain and France, guarded by nearly a thousand people, and imprisoned in the supernatural item management terminal designated for extreme environments."

It was the first time that Xie Shuyi had heard of a supernatural weapon. "Grand Order? To be so strictly guarded, it must be very powerful."

Taguchi Rokuzo snorted, "Jie Shuyi, how many bullets do you think a professional soldier needs on average to kill an enemy?"

Although Xie Shuyi was puzzled by his sudden change of subject, he still thought carefully and gave an answer.

"It takes about 5 to 10 bullets to kill a person. Plus the ones used for threats and distractions. It takes a magazine or more, maybe 30 to 60 bullets. But if you're facing a superpower, you'll need a lot more."

Taguchi Rokuzo smiled, "No, more is needed... 5 rounds."

"Huh?" The moment he heard the answer, Jie Shuyi subconsciously made a puzzled sound. Does it take 5 bullets to kill just one person?

The water stains on his cheeks slid down, and Xie Shuyi lowered his eyes to look at the small water droplets on the front desk, "I think I understand what you mean."

He raised his hand to wipe away the water droplets, and put his wet hand behind his back awkwardly. "Most soldiers...will not choose to shoot when facing the enemy."

They are soldiers, and obeying military orders is their duty.

But people who live in peacetime, even if they have seen the power of those with special powers and the brutality of their own kind, are unable to shoot and kill people when faced with an aggressive war.

"So they deliberately shifted their aim and pretended to be fighting," said Xie Shuyi.

"Yes, even on the front lines, many people cannot tolerate the act of killing others with guns."

Xie Shuyi pursed his lips. He couldn't resonate with Taguchi Rokuzo's words.

As long as the knife is on the neck and the threat is to one's life, even the most cowardly person will do anything to survive.

Their kindness and goodness are nothing more than the fact that they don't feel the pain when the bullet doesn't hit them.

"But that's the soldier, that's the battlefield. The weapon developed for this is the Grand Command. In fact, in a sense, his ability is quite similar to that of the president of your Armed Detective Agency. He can influence his subordinates. The most obvious effect is the communication machine that can make his subordinates obey orders unconditionally."

"This is a communication device created by a supernatural engineer. Its user is the commander. The subordinates, who are determined by fate, move their bodies as if they were part of their superior. They will automatically complete orders without any questions or guilt. This is the most gentle weapon that can free soldiers from the torment of sin."

Xie Shuyi nodded slightly, "Such a powerful supernatural weapon is controlled by humans...'the most gentle weapon'...Human uncertainty makes it a bomb that can explode at any time. If an armed coup occurs, as long as the supreme commander of the army uses a grand order, he can control the entire country's army. Subvert the country and destroy the world. Because of this possibility, senior government officials choose to seal the weapon."

After speaking for a long time, Xie Shuyi couldn't help coughing twice. Taguchi Rokuzo noticed his abnormality and frowned deeply, "Are you okay? Where have you been these two days?"

Xie Shuyi did not give a direct answer. "Although I don't know why such a weapon is sealed and not destroyed, it is obvious that under the condition that more than half of the government officers and soldiers have been infiltrated by vampires, the Grand Directive may not be safe even if it is stored in Antarctica. So... is this the next goal of Fudi and the Detective Agency?"

Taguchi Rokuzo did not answer. Based on his understanding of Jie Shuyi, he knew that after getting the answer he wanted, the person would definitely hang up the phone without hesitation.

His tone became heavier. "Jie Shuyi, answer my question. I have checked all the surveillance cameras in Yokohama these past two days, but I haven't seen any trace of you. Where have you been these past two days? Ever since I found out that Fukuchi Yingchi is Shenwei, the gaps between your contacts with me have been too long. As your ally, I need to know what you are doing."

Xie Shuyi was speechless for a moment, opened and closed his mouth, hesitated for a while and decided to hide the truth from Taguchi Rokuzo. He was interrupted just as he was about to apologize.

"Don't apologize to me. You always do this. I know Yokohama is in chaos right now. The whole world is in chaos. I'm not a superpower. The only thing I can help with is gathering intelligence. But... Jie Shuyi, I knew from the first time you came to me that you planned to handle everything by yourself. If you had chosen to work with the Armed Detective Agency, I wouldn't have needed to get up to provide you with intelligence."

Taguchi Rokuzo's voice became much lower. "But I... am not a superpower, I can't help you more. I will be worried if you charge into battle alone. I really... am..."

"I'm fine, don't worry."

Even after entering the room, the coldness on Jie Shuyi's body had not completely dissipated. Even though he tried to restrain himself, the trembling caused by the cold was unavoidable. But at this moment he forced a smile. Even though he knew that Taguchi Rokuzo could not see it, Jie Shuyi still tried his best to smile.

"I'm fine, don't worry." He repeated gently.

Taguchi Rokuzo listened to the trembling words filled with comfort and burst out laughing. The forced laugh made half of his face distorted and ugly. Veins on his palms bulged, and his nails dug into the keyboard, forcefully prying the keycaps apart again and again, but pretending to be relieved.

"It's okay, it's okay..." I don't know if this kind of murmur can be considered as self-comfort.

Although he knew that Jie Shuyi was lying to him, Taguchi Rokuzo could not ask any more questions.

Because not only will you not get an answer, but you might also be kicked out of the collaboration by Xie Shuyi.

The trump card that Tian Ren Wu Shuai wanted has been exposed, and his usefulness has obviously ended here.

Xie Shuyi would not want him to fall into the vortex. In order to continue to stay with Xie Shuyi, Taguchi Rokuzo could only pretend that he knew nothing.

He forced a smile and continued the previous topic, "Since you're okay, I'll continue. Just as you thought, the next target of the detective agency and the Five Degenerates is the [Grand Order]. Tomorrow at 11 a.m., at Xiadong Airport, BAA Airlines, Flight 801, there will be a secret transport team. Well, I know everything. It's not a secret mission. They are responsible for the payment transfer of the [Grand Order]. The Armed Detective Agency, the Hounds, and the Five Degenerates will all be there."

"Okay." Xie Shuyi said, "Thank you."

As expected, after getting all the information, Xie Shuyi immediately hung up the phone. Hearing the busy tone coming from the phone, Taguchi Rokuzo still maintained his previous forced smile. After a brief silence, he slammed his fist on the table.

"Damn it."

The cup was overturned again, and the remaining coffee poured out. This time, Taguchi Rokuzo let it wet the keyboard, computer, and host until the sticky liquid fell on his shirt. His palm holding the phone kept shaking.

The smile on his face was eerily forced. When he thought of Jie Shuyi holding on alone at the moment, he was overwhelmed by a feeling of powerlessness.

The dim screen reflected half of his face, with complex emotions surging in his dark pupils. The ticking sound of the hour hand was heard in his ears, like a heartbeat, or a demon urging his life.

Taguchi Rokuzo looked up at the time on the computer, 12:40.

As if in response to him, his stomach growled. Taguchi Rokuzo stood up and walked barefoot in the room full of coffee cans and empty beer cans. He walked to the balcony and raised his hand to pull open the curtains.

The dazzling light shone on his body. Taguchi Rokuzo closed his eyes and raised his arms as if trying to grasp the warmth.

The corners of his mouth curled up and he laughed out loud from the bottom of his heart, which was both an outlet for catharsis and a pledge of allegiance.

"Jie Shuyi! You can't get rid of me!"

Looking back at the helpless mess, Taguchi Rokuzo stretched his muscles.

"Before going on a business trip, you should pack up well."

After hanging up the phone, Xie Shuyi rested his head tiredly on the desk at the front desk.

Rokuzo Taguchi can no longer be pulled back into this vortex.

He wants to solve these things.

A person.

No one is involved anymore.

I looked at the clock in the store and it was 2 a.m.

I'm so tired, let me find a place to take a nap.

Just as Xie Shuyi stood up and was about to leave, a bottle of soju was suddenly placed in front of him.

When he looked up, he saw the clerk who had looked so fearful at him not long ago.

The clerk is not very old and looks like a student working part-time in his spare time.

Originally, he was afraid of a man like Jie Shuyi who was covered in blood, contradictory and hateful.

It can be seen that after Jie Shuyi entered the store, he did not do anything to hurt him. He even shook off the water stains on his hands before using the phone. He looked like he didn't want to cause trouble for himself. He was clearly a well-educated person.

Thinking this way, he was no longer afraid.

With a sudden impulse, he took a bottle of liquor from the shelf at the back and handed it to Jie Shuyi.

Seeing Jie Shuyi looking at him at this moment, he scratched his cheek embarrassedly, his eyes full of clear stupidity.

"Have something to drink, it will warm you up. The umbrellas in the store have been sold out. If you don't mind, you can take my umbrella first." After saying that, he took out his own umbrella from under the counter at the front desk.

Xie Shuyi followed his movements and his eyes finally fell on a pink umbrella, on which he could vaguely see the Hello Kitty pattern.

The clerk came back to his senses at this moment, and the embarrassment on his face became more obvious.

"Excuse me, this is from my girlfriend..."

Unfortunately, before he could finish his words, the person in front of him took the pot of liquor and left.

"Hey, umbrella?"

Xie Shuyi responded without even turning his head.

"You can use it yourself."
