A Knight's Journey Begins in Faiz

Jiang Yang realized that this matter was very troublesome and he couldn't get involved. To put it bluntly, he couldn't help Sen go and deal with the timber yard.

He wouldn't even tell Morishita Kiba that he was the murderer.

Once Morishita finds out who the murderer is, he will go berserk and want to kill them. After all, those people were killed simply for speaking ill of Chie in front of him.

Of course, Jiang Yang couldn't possibly deal with Morishita either; those murders and such were things that hadn't happened yet, in Morishita's eyes.

The main problem is that if he were to cause trouble for the lumberyard now, it would be a real problem.

This person is really pitiful.

Morishita's initial intention was simply to uncover the truth and avenge his sister, but after becoming an Orphnoch, he became lost in the power of the Orphnoch.

In this situation, Jiang Yang couldn't simply say whether the other party was a good or bad person. He wasn't a legal professional and wasn't familiar with Japanese law. He didn't know if there was any potential charge of homicide.

Ultimately, why would someone go to the Yorozuya (Odd Jobs Shop) instead of the police or a detective for something like this?

Do you really think you're the Gintama Yorozuya, capable of everything from finding cats and dogs to saving the world?

Even Gintoki has things he can't do, okay?

"Ahem, I roughly understand what happened."

"So you're willing to accept this commission?"

"No, quite the opposite, I'm afraid I'm powerless to fulfill your request."

"Why? Is it because of money? If so, don't worry, I can add more money. This is all I have. If it's not enough, I can borrow more."

Looking at the backpack full of money, Jiang Yang felt no emotion whatsoever. Money wasn't actually that important to him. As long as he could have food and lodging, nothing else really mattered.

Besides, he's not short of money right now.

"It's not about the money, Mr. Morishita, you should keep your money safe and not flaunt your wealth."

"What's that for?"

"I've actually heard about your sister's ash disease. The police have been investigating this disease for so long but haven't found any clues. I don't think my little Yorozuya could find anything out."

“I have to try. If I do nothing, I won’t have the face to see Chie.”

"What do you mean? Isn't your sister already...?"

"I'm sorry, I lost my composure. Chie, she is the only thing I care about in this world. If I can't do something for Chie, I don't know what the point of my life is."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yang's face darkened. Another one who doesn't want to live. What's wrong with me? Do I have some kind of special buff that makes them all come here?

He took a deep breath and adjusted his expression.

"I really can't help you with this, not because I'm unwilling, but because I'm truly powerless. If you really want to continue the investigation, I suggest you go to the police station to inquire about the relevant situation. As a family member, you have a certain right to know about this matter. Also, no matter how things progress, life must be the priority. I believe your sister wouldn't want to see you in danger because of her."

"What do you know about Chie? Police, police. It's because the police can't find the culprit that I wanted to hire them. Enough. Since you don't want to help, then I won't hire them. I'll investigate myself."

After saying that, he picked up his bag, stood up, and stopped before leaving.

"I'm sorry, I got a little excited, but Chie is my only sister."

"This is the right place. I'm sorry I can't help you with anything."

Morishita left.

Jiang Yang picked up the teacup and took a sip; this time it wasn't hot.

"That guy just now, he really was involved in the Orphnoch affair, wasn't he? Aren't you going to help investigate?"

Qiao walked over, and although she didn't hear everything, the manner of her sister's death sounded like she had been killed by Orphnoch.

"It should be. As for the investigation, even the police can't find anything, so what am I supposed to investigate? Even if I do find something, what then? Tell him and let him go to his death?"

"That was not what I meant."

"I know, eh."

Jiang Yang really couldn't help with this matter. He hated making choices, whether to help one side or the other, to choose A or B. Multiple-choice questions weren't that simple.

Let Kiba decide what to do in this matter. After all, he killed someone's sister, so he should choose what to do.

Jiang Yang called Kiba, only to learn that Morishita had already contacted Kiba. Jiang Yang sighed.

"What are you going to do?"

"I do not know."

"Alright, there's nothing I can do about this. You'll have to figure it out yourself. Also, the Orphnoch activities might be more frequent soon, and Tokyo is becoming increasingly dangerous."

"I see."

Jiang Yang's idea was to have Kiba persuade that guy to leave Tokyo, since he was an outsider and his words wouldn't make a difference. Maybe Kiba would listen to him?

Well, I guess that's unlikely.

Jiang Yang reasonably speculated that Orphino's activities would become more frequent.

Murakami Kyoji must be very anxious about losing three of the three Lucky Four-Leaf Clover members. Losing three elite Orphnochs so soon after becoming president must have already caused many Orphnochs to become dissatisfied with him.

Murakami's desire for companions will definitely be greater than before, and for him, the best way to increase his companions is to have his subordinate Orphnoch kill someone.

Once the Orphnochs begin mass killings, this time, it will likely be impossible to suppress them. The existence of the Orphnochs isn't solely being covered up by the AI; the human camp is also suppressing this information.

It's important to know that not all humans are useless. Some of them are aware of the existence of the Orphnochs, but they lack the means to fight against them and are worried that revealing it would cause panic, so they keep it a secret.

Once the Orphnochs begin mass killings, the human army will also begin to act.

There is still no effective way to deal with Orphnoch for the time being.

"Alright, you continue working, I'm going to work too."

Hanzo has already found a target for a certain commission, and he is going to retrieve it.

Jiang Yang spent the whole morning doing commissions. It has to be said that these commissions are really outrageous. They're like a certain two-word game where the commissions are all on one map, but they're scattered in four corners.

He didn't have any teleportation points to use, so running around the map was really tiring.

At the same time, on the other side, Soga arrived at the Meteor Academy's convoy and found Nishida. The two walked to a place away from the others.

"I hope you will form an alliance with me."

"Haven't we already formed an alliance?"

Nishida was referring to the day at the water park, when he, Masato Kusaka, and Takumi Inui formed an alliance, along with Jiang Yang, who was not present but also agreed to cooperate, making a total of four belts.

Grass shook its head.

"No, I mean the two of us, forming a separate alliance."

"Why? Do you think those two are untrustworthy?"

"No, on the contrary, I think they are both trustworthy."

"Why then?"

"There are two reasons. First, compared to us, who are members of the Meteor Academy, the two of them are outsiders. I can trust them, but I can't completely trust them."

"Forehead."

Is there a difference between believing and trusting?

Of course, Nishida didn't ask the question aloud.

"And the second reason?"

"They are too naive."

"Innocent?"

"Hmm, Jiang Yang actually said that there might be benevolent Orphnochs. I admit he knows a lot, but he's too indecisive when it comes to dealing with the Orphnochs. Faiz should be on his side. If one day I want to protect the Orphnochs, I hope you'll be on my side then."

Nishida has figured out Soga's purpose this time: Soga wants to kill all the Orphnochs, while Jiang Yang feels that some Orphnochs don't deserve to die.

If their views remain unchanged, they will eventually clash. Caojia hopes that he can help him deal with Jiang Yang and his group.

Nishida thought for a moment and then shook his head.

"I'm sorry, Kusaka, I can't agree to that."
