[Comprehensive] Jinmu Rebirth

Chapter 605 The Scarecrow

In mid-June, the Yueshan family announced their withdrawal from high society.

In order to prove the words of the Yueshan family, Yueshan Guanmu, the president of the Yueshan Foundation, resigned and was replaced by the vice president.

The kidnapping of Rose Organization and Xiu Yiyu finally fueled the encroachment of the boiled frogs, and the Hexiu family annexed other properties under the name of the Yueshan family with an unstoppable trend.

The major Japanese families who mistakenly thought that the two sides were just a little bit of friction suddenly became terrified.

The Yueshan family is going to die!

Atobe Keigo wanted to go to Tsukiyama's house to ask as soon as he heard the news, but his father stopped him.Atobe Rito, who was walking down the stairs slowly, looked calm. Seeing his son's puzzled expression, a trace of fatigue flashed imperceptibly in his eyes, "It's useless for you to go, Guanmu won't let us intervene."

This means that the Tsukiyama family refuses the Atobe family's help.

Atobe Keigo disagreed: "Father, are you just watching the Hexiu family oppressing the Yueshan family?"

Don't talk about the truth that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, the Tsukiyama family is the partner of the Atobe family!

"No, you don't understand—" Atobe Ritsuto said, and waved away the servants. Only an old butler stood at the edge of the hall where the Atobe father and son had conflicts, watching them with the same worried eyes.

The Atobe family has enjoyed a thriving business for decades, but the crisis is also approaching.

"Jingwu, the Yueshan family has surrendered."

"……surrender……"

Under these words, Keigo Atobe's anger stagnated, and his gray-blue eyes trembled.The mobile phone in his palm fell to the ground, and on the screen was a number called "Yue Shanxi" but he couldn't get through.

No one told him in advance, and no one informed him of the accident.

that's it--

A family with the same weight as the Atobe family collapsed quietly.

"Father, do the Mitsui family know about this...I mean they might help..."

"Will not."

Hearing his son's nervous words after he calmed down, Ritsuto Atobe was a little relieved and sighed. The relationship between Jing Wu and Mr. Xi has not been good for so many years, which made him very worried about the future cooperation between the two families.

Unexpectedly, his son still cared about Mr. Xi, and didn't care about personal grievances in front of big right and wrong.

"The Mitsui family already knew about Mr. Xi's kidnapping of Mitsui Shangxiang, so they will not help the Yueshan family, but the Fujiwara family, another family of the Yueshan family... Don't forget that they are already in danger."

Atobe Ritsuto walked up to Atobe Keigo, put his hand on his son's shoulder, and stopped him from leaving.

"Jingwu, take a closer look, the cruelest competition in our circle."

"The loser—"

"Break it all, nothing."

Guanmu, I hope that as you said, there will be a turning point if this matter continues to drag on.

The Atobe family can only be your last retreat.

……

The assets of the Yueshan family that He Xiu used "legal" means to take over were worth more than the net profit after laundering.

Money in the bank is just a bunch of numbers.

Only a successful entrepreneur can turn money into money, make interest, and exchange intangible assets for future profits of dozens of times.The big fish caught by Hexiu's family was delicious, and it was a bumper harvest for decades.

He Xiujia used both hard and soft methods to spend the weekend that shocked the upper class.

On Monday, in class S2's office, and in front of He Xiuyan's desk were servants from He Xiu's family.

"Master Yan, this is what the Patriarch ordered me to hand over to you."

"I don't want it, take it away."

Xiuyan and Xiuyan didn't even look at the thick stack of contracts in each other's hands, and wrote elegant words on the paper with a pen, as if immersed in work and unable to extricate themselves.

The servant's expression was a little embarrassed, and he whispered: "My lord said, 'If you don't want it, just give it to others'."

"you can go now."

He Xiuyan stopped writing suddenly, took out the asset transfer contracts from him and threw them on the table.

"Yes." The servant retreated quickly.

The office was quiet, He Xiuyan looked at the contracts written with the flesh and blood cut from Yueshan's house, supported his forehead with both hands, lowered his head and didn't know how to face this result.

As expected, the Yueshan family couldn't hold on anymore.

Contrary to expectations, the Yueshan family did not rise up to resist, but slowly handed over the assets.

The pressure brought by the passage of every minute and every second is the trust of the Yueshan family in Kanekiken.They don't want to confront the Hexiu family, put aside the face of the big family and wholeheartedly show their goodwill, not because He Xiuyan guessed that Yueshan Guanmu was reluctant to part with the Yueshan family, but because the other party really didn't want to sacrifice other people's lives.

Even with the cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness of the Hexiu family, facing such an unexpected ghoul family, they couldn't help but be gentle with the ghouls who were identified and imprisoned.

Anyway, they are all prisoners, so there is no need to deliberately embarrass them.

He Xiuyan picked up the contracts and read them one by one, then silently put them in the drawer and locked them.As Grandpa said, this is the pocket money he "deserves", and it is full of assets under the name of the Yueshan family that are suitable for him to manage.

He Xiujia has done this kind of thing countless times, and He Xiuyan and He Xiuzheng have done similar things.

They don't want these things, and other people will gobble them up.

Only, this time——

He Xiuyan felt that those papers were so dazzling that he didn't want to read them a second time.

In addition to working in CCG, He Xiuyan and Hideyoshi Yongjin met several times as usual, having lunch together, or meeting in a nearby place after get off work to chat about recent CCG events.The tense atmosphere brought about by the bronze tree has further increased the pressure on the CCG headquarters, and he also wants to hear the reaction of the other investigators.

Usually it is the other party who gossips, and he is responsible for listening, and the atmosphere between each other is very harmonious and leisurely.

Yongjin Yingliang is a person who is very good at chatting.

After get off work, they met again at a coffee shop, and Suzuya Harzo couldn't appear often because of his work location.

"Hey, Mr. Marute didn't even shaved his beard clean today, and his tie was pulled up a lot more than yesterday. He aggressively grabbed a few dereliction of duty people and scolded them for a long time. He really looks like your grandfather!"

After throwing away his suit, the blond-haired young man acted carelessly as if he was a company employee complaining about his boss.

"Grandpa is really good at swearing, his mouth is very poisonous..."

Without paying attention, He Xiuyan, who was stirring the coffee, complained about his grandfather.

After all, he was angry and cried by his grandfather some time ago.

V organization members hidden nearby: "..."

Lord Yan, we are very embarrassed when you say that, Lord Patriarch.

"There are not many people in the entire CCG headquarters who are still on weekends." Yongjin Yingliang lay on the table, looking sadly at He Xiuyan, who is more serious than Kaneki, "What about the good benefits? There is a car and a house, Mr. Arima told us a lot when he tricked us into joining CCG, it sounded like a deadly leisure."

He Xiuyan was surprised: "Your general also said such a thing?"

Without the need for the other party to answer, he said clearly: "Aren't there staff dormitories and staff apartments? As for the cars... CCG's work vehicles are all parked in the underground parking lot, and they can be requisitioned at any time during working hours."

Welfare is definitely not fake, it's just that salted fish have a way of living with salted fish, and special ones have a special way of living.

"right!"

Yongjin Yanyu Yingliang, who was slumped on the table, suddenly sat up straight.

"He Xiu, someone asked me to ask you something."

He behaved like a thief and squeezed to the opposite seat and Xiuyan, regardless of the other party's reserved appearance, leaned in to the other party's ear and asked, "Do you still remember your first love?"

He Xiuyan felt that his ears were itchy, so he avoided it, and said uncontrollably, "My first love? Is it Lishi?"

Yongjin Yingliang's laughter shook his eardrums.

"No, no, your first love is not called this, it is another name, although in my opinion your first love should be a girl from the next class in high school or junior high school, but you always deny it, I can only refer to yourself What I said before! The other party's uncle came to me and said that he hoped that you could help find her whereabouts."

"Oh, what's the name?"

He Xiuyan was aroused by his words, how many people Kaneki liked.

"Kirishima Dong Xiang."

Yongjin Yingliang winked, and specially described: "She is a very cute girl! When I first saw her, I thought she was very suitable for you, but it is a pity that you were hooked up by someone."

When He Xiuyan heard him mention Yue Shanxi, he said absent-mindedly: "Don't talk about him, he just knows to make me angry."

Yongjin Yingliang saw that he did not seem to be lying, "Are you having a conflict?"

He Xiuyan glanced at him, picked up the coffee and separated Yongjin Yingliang's face: "I don't believe you haven't read the newspapers these days, the president of the Yueshan Foundation has resigned, and their family is about to go bankrupt. You said that the relationship between me and him What's the situation."

Yongjin Yingliang muttered: "It seems to be very miserable."

"It's miserable." He Xiuyan said a few words about Yue Shanxi to him, and he felt uncomfortable with some concerns, "He wants to be with me, but their family is not willing to pay the corresponding price. Do you really think that the Hexiu family can easily accept a man? Even Zheng was forced to marry back then."

Yongjin Yingliang clicked his tongue.

Knowing that He Xiuyan was talking too much, his eyes swept over each other: "Don't say it."

Yongjin Hideyoshi swears: "Guaranteed!"

He Xiuyan glanced at the phone, it was almost time to go home, "Since you said it was my first love, I will help you find out the whereabouts of this girl, I hope there will be no more 'first love' of Kaneki."

Yongjin Yingliang snickered and said, "You have to ask yourself that."

He Xiuyan looked at him resentfully.

If I could ask, I wouldn't even be ignorant of my life-long private decision!

After he and Xiuyan left, the figures in several corners also left one after another. Yongjin Yingliang stretched his waist on the seat, and lifted the A-level Cookin weapon that Xiuyan gave him for his own sake.

He sighed: "The Hexiu family's family style is so strict."

In such a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, some family rules are so stubborn that even male partners cannot accept it.

"It would be great if it could be broken..."

Yongjin Yingliang scratched his head, put what he said behind him, and went back to the staff apartment to rest.

In the world of ghouls——

A ghoul named "Scarecrow" came to the underground world of District 24.

He wears a bag-like hood on his head, with stick figures drawn on the hood, and two holes poked out for his eyes.His appearance is very different from those ghouls who wear masks-at least ghouls don't like to be stuffed in the hood.

The scarecrow teased some children who spoke strange dialects. The children happily played with the ball he brought, and pointed to some secret passages in the underground world before leaving.

He walked down one of the passages.

Not long after, an old man who was dying suddenly appeared there.

The scarecrow stopped and heard the other party speak hoarsely with a native Tokyo accent: "Young man, what are you doing in the 24th district asking about things that happened decades ago?"

The scarecrow said with a voice changer: "I'm here to find a way for ghouls and humans to coexist peacefully."

The 24th district is the most mysterious place in Japan.

Many strong men from the ghoul world come from here, and rarely come back after going out, such as the owl who does not kill, the one-eyed owl, the corpse picker, etc., these people can speak the dialect of the underground world of District 24.

"Peace? There is no such method in District 24."

When the old man heard what he said, the scrutiny in his eyes turned into a kind of pity for the younger generation.

Another ghoul pursuing such an ideal.

"The peace I'm talking about doesn't mean quelling conflicts, but a way for both sides to coexist." The voice of the scarecrow revealed an inorganic quality distorted by a machine, "Like vampires in comics, they can survive by sucking the blood of animals. It indirectly guarantees that vampires can survive without humans, and what I want to know is this kind—is there a method similar to changing ghouls, or changing the means of human survival.”

The old man said: "No."

The scarecrow couldn't see his expression under the cloth bag, and he said after a while: "I searched for information everywhere, looking for people who were alive decades or a hundred years ago, and found out something."

The old man couldn't help being attracted by his words, could there really be something he didn't know?

"In the era of Nagara Jie, the number of ghouls increased dramatically."

"..."

"Although CCG has sealed this history and dealt with those 'extra' ghouls, there are always a few fish that slipped through the net. Can you tell me-is this the hope of coexistence?"

"You go now! Don't talk anymore, this is not something you should inquire about!"

The old man's face changed suddenly, showing pain, and he roared.

That period of history is a disgrace to CCG, and it is also the biggest scar in the hearts of the older generation of ghouls. They personally killed their king... and killed the hope of their ghouls.

"Sure enough, it exists."

The scarecrow continued indifferently, "At the cost of half of Tokyo in that era, the 'one-eyed king' created by countless people was sacrificed. I didn't understand why the ghouls believed in the legend of the one-eyed king before. At first I thought it was sustenance. I hoped for an illusory person, and then I felt something was wrong..."

"This is the result of your efforts to fuel the flames. Not only the one-eyed owl, but you also firmly believe that the one-eyed king can change the world and bring hope to the dying ghouls."

"The one-eyed king is dead, but the next one-eyed king and the next one-eyed king are all hope."

"With hope, the ghouls will not become extinct."

"The key point here is not the 'king', but the 'one-eyed'. Only the one-eyed ghoul has the hope of becoming the 'king' you want. No other ghoul can be stronger. You have cultivated the one-eyed owl, It's a pity that the one-eyed owl can't meet your expectations in terms of potential, so you gave up on her and started looking for the next one-eyed..."

"How could the one-eyed ghouls be born so easily? Except for the one-eyed owl and the one-eyed centipede, who appeared by chance, and caught a glimpse, you couldn't get in touch even if you wanted to, but you also secretly wanted to cultivate each other."

In this narration that does not contain personal emotions, the secrets hidden in District 24 and the one-eyed owl are analyzed.

The old man was completely sluggish.

The scarecrow stopped mentally attacking, "I just wanted to ask a question when I said this."

Behind the two holes on the cloth bag, there was a pair of eyes looking straight at the old man, as ordinary as anyone on the street.

"Humans can become ghouls."

Even if there is no Hexiu family, no CCG, the only possibility that the ghouls will not perish.

Human beings are ghouls, and there are endless ghouls.

"..."

Under the silence that was so long that it was almost dead, the old man felt a little lost.

This secret is something that humans will never know, and only a handful of people inside the ghouls know about it.They worked hard to conceal it, and regarded it as a secret passed down by the one-eyed king, but it was so easy for an outsider to guess it.

He looked at each other, no longer condescending, but a sad and weeping look in the old days.

"Yes, sure."

"Only a king can do that."

Who can save a ghoul without a king?

The author has something to say: #818The hot second one-eyed king who is clearly in power but as if he doesn’t exist#

Kisho Arima: ...

Kisho Arima: You are embarrassing me, a half-human.

Die Chie: Interview the legendary one-eyed king, are you also a one-eyed ghoul?

Kisho Arima: No.

Die Chie: Then why did you become the one-eyed king?

Kisho Arima: You have to ask the one-eyed owl.

Aite: It's very simple. The one-eyed king is mixed blood + one-eyed. He fits both!

Die Chie: Where does it fit?

Aite: One eye is blind, there are ghouls and humans in the blood, and he is also a relative of the one-eyed king Nagarajie!

Kisho Arima: ...

Kaneki Ken: ...

He Xiuyan: So the conditions for becoming a one-eyed king are so "simple"?

Kaneki Ken: How simple is it!

He Xiu Changji: There is no future at all to be the one-eyed king, noble general!Didn't CCG and Hexiu's family pay you a salary?

Arima Kisho: I sent it...

He Xiu Changji: What about the ghouls?Will they pay you a salary? !

Kisho Arima: ...

Aite: It doesn't exist, it's just voluntary labor.

He Xiu Changji: How dare a group of poor fellows pry into the corner of Xiu's house and me?It actually succeeded? !

Kisho Arima: Speaker, I will step down immediately.

He Xiu Changji: If you know your mistakes, you can correct them...

Aite: He is going to trick your grandson into taking office.

Kisho Arima: ...

Hexiu Changji: Your Excellency, I think you need to experience Hexiu's family law. This is what Nagarajie experienced back then.

He Xiu Changji: You, the second one-eyed king, also follow the tradition.

Kisho Arima: Please excuse my refusal.
