The winery boss is also loading salted fish today

In the old city of Yokohama, there are many criss-crossed and abandoned alleys.This is often the place where residents in the living area pile up garbage such as waste cardboard boxes. The road is full of potholes. If it is not necessary to pass by, few people will be willing to go this way.

An overtime worker who had just finished work yawned and passed by the alley when he suddenly heard a dull sound from the alley, as if something heavy fell to the ground.

Probably the stray cat knocked over the box.

He didn't think too much about it, only felt that the wind blowing from the alley was inexplicably cold, so he raised his collar and unconsciously quickened his pace.

And if he had tilted his head slightly at that time, he would have seen a young man standing in the middle of the alley, casually playing with the small gun in his hand, and three people were lying on the ground not far from him.

"Don't worry, it's just knocked out. The strength I used just now can't kill anyone."

Kurosawa Qing's voice was very casual, and his eyes were always on the gun in his hand.After all, it is something that can be called a rarity in the Yokohama area, and he is still a little interested in it.

There was no reply after a long time, but Kurosawa Qing's expression remained unchanged, as if he was convinced that there were still people staying around here.

And he was not short of patience.

After about five or six minutes, a slightly hoarse voice finally came.

"what do you want to do?"

"Since you are willing to talk to me, come out first," Kurosawa Qing said without raising his head, "It's very rude to always hide in the dark, Mr. Sniper."

The other side fell silent again, but it didn't take long for an ordinary-looking person to come out slowly.

He looked warily at the young man in front of him, with white soft hair and stiff black-rimmed glasses, at first glance he looked like an obedient college student.If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have imagined that such a guy could easily bring down three professionally trained professional killers.

Not only that, but also himself.

He thought of the moment when he was about to shoot, the young man cast his gaze towards his position as if by coincidence.

The young man's eyes were very pale, and he couldn't see any specific emotions, but just one glance made people feel cold all over, and his fingers trembled slightly, but he couldn't press the trigger.

If you shoot, the person who will die will definitely not be the other party, but yourself.

His battle instincts all along told him so.

"It's very cooperative," Kurosawa laughed, "Sure enough, I like you more than your companion."

"...What exactly do you want to do?"

"You're really straightforward, but I still plan to lay out a few paragraphs. If that's the case, then I'll just say it directly," Kuizeqing looked at him, "Do you have any plans to change jobs?"

The sniper froze instantly.

"Did it scare you? Strange, I probably didn't say anything scary."

It took a long time for the sniper to make a hoarse voice from his throat, "In the port mafia, betrayal means death, and I have no reason to take such a risk."

"Really?" Kurosawa looked indifferent, "But in the eyes of those in the port mafia, aren't you already a traitor?"

The sniper looked up in disbelief.

"I acted without the order of my superiors, but it failed in the end. According to the usual rules of the port mafia, this situation will be regarded as a traitor."

"...How do you know?"

"It seems that you don't know that we will negotiate with your leader in the next two days. It's hard to think of it as a provocation to kidnap an important member of the opposite party at this juncture. It's quite possible that your old man did it That kind of thing happens, but your current leader is not that impulsive fool."

As Kurosawa Qing's words fell, the sniper's face became more and more ugly.

"Then let me guess why you did this."

Kurosawa Ao shook the gun in his hand.

"Even the port mafia is unable to equip all its members with such rare items, and at least they have to be of the upper middle class to be eligible to use them."

"As far as I know, the middle and upper-level members of the port mafia carry out tasks in teams. I have never heard of a random combination of three killers and a sniper like you. There is no tacit understanding between them."

Then it can't be a mission.

"I'm afraid that you have made a mistake at work. You have just been demoted recently. You want to make up for it by making meritorious deeds."

There is nothing wrong with one of them.

The sniper clenched his fists unconsciously, and the cold sweat on his back slightly soaked his clothes, as if he had suddenly become dumb and could not speak a word.

"So about that job-hopping thing I just said—"

The sniper raised his head, and once again saw those calm eyes without any emotional ups and downs.

"I'm not asking for your opinion."

That's right, this is not asking for opinions, but the only way out for me now.Under such circumstances, returning to the Port Mafia is undoubtedly a dead end—all those who have made mistakes and are incompetent will be abandoned without hesitation.

"...I'll join."

"Sure enough, I read it right."

Kurosawa suddenly laughed, it was an extraordinarily soft and harmless smile, and at the same time, the feeling of coldness suppressing the sniper disappeared.

"Not only in strength, but you are also more knowledgeable than your companions."

The sniper was silent for a moment, then said, "May I ask two questions?"

Kurosawa nodded, "Yes."

"...You are very different from the description in the information."

To be precise, except for appearance, there is nothing that matches.

"Of course it won't be the same, because I am not the same person as the one on your profile."

He still wants to continue to use Silly Baitian as a character, and it would be boring to expose it too early.Kurosawa thought casually, and said nonsense without changing his face, "Looking at you, my cross-dressing seems to be very successful."

"Cross-dressing?" The sniper looked surprised, "You've been trying to lure us from the very beginning!"

Kurosawa Ao: "..."

That's really not the case.It's obvious that you guys brought it to your door, so don't blame him for everything.

"Including not killing them," the sniper had a complex expression, mixed with bitter surprise and stunned, "that is to say, your target was me from the beginning."

"..."

Kurosawa Qingxin said that I just see that your strength is not bad, plus the recent boring whim, so many weird ideas have come up.

Too much brain supplementation is a disease that can be cured.

Well, forget it.Anyway, the result was what he wanted.

"In short, you will be my assistant in action from now on. As for my name..."

Kurosawa thought about it, although he abducted him from the port mafia, he didn't have the time to continue to take care of him, so he just pushed it to others.

"My code name in the organization is Belmode, just call it the code name."

Borrowing her identity and returning her as an assistant, Belmode wouldn't say much.

If it doesn't work, he just pretends he didn't hear it, Kurosawa thought very rascally.

"Then, don't you have another question?"

The sniper paused, and then said as if he had made up his mind, "A guy like me who has been demoted has already been deemed a failure. Why do you plan to hire me? And to be honest, I don't Know how much information about the port mafia."

Of course, it's because the combat power delivered to the door is not in vain.

And that: "failure" isn't quite right either.As far as he knows, the port mafia always punishes those who are at fault, and punishment can basically be equivalent to execution in the outside world.

It's just a demotion, in Kurosawa's view, which means that his ability is still useful to the port mafia by default.

In fact, if he were from Mori Ogai's point of view, severe punishment would be indispensable for the sniper who made serious mistakes, but he would definitely not be let dead.

After all, it was not an irreparable mistake such as betrayal, so it is not worthwhile to lose an excellent sniper for this - the port mafia militants all play melee combat, and every shot is an indiscriminate range attack. Snipers on assassination routes are simply a rare property.

Even this way of escaping from death can easily give people the illusion that the top is lenient, and loyalty will also increase.

Snipers don't know this, but Kurosawa Ao is not too familiar with this kind of doorway-the world is as black as crows, and he can also use the same methods that Mori Ogai would use.

Of course, Kurosawa would not say these things on purpose - he still had to rely on this abduction.

"I'm only interested in your strength. To put it bluntly, whether it's your past or other experiences, I don't need to know, and I'm not interested. As for intelligence, you are a sniper, not an intelligence officer."

The sniper asked in disbelief, "Then you don't have to worry about my betrayal, after all, I have a criminal record—"

"Don't worry about that." Kurosawa interrupted him a little impatiently.

The concentration of undercover agents in the organization has never dropped, and one more person really doesn't make any difference to Kurosawa Qing.He has already hired a bunch of them, and of course he doesn't care about one more.

He has always cared more about a person's role in the organization than his loyalty to the organization, otherwise, if it was the other way around, the organization would have been disbanded long ago.

After all, whether it is between the members of the organization or between him and those people——

It's just that there is no relationship between betrayal or not at all.
