"persist in……"
Sakuraman Shu's train of thought got stuck for a moment.
Yes, things have become like this, what are they insisting on?
"From the beginning, that Lord said that as long as he accomplished what he wanted to do, the foundation of the funeral home would be shaken. The people who stayed in the funeral home now just couldn't find what they wanted to do," Tsurugi Ya's eyes were a little vague, but he finally calmed down and said, "If they become your clan, they should be happy too.
"As for that Lord Ling, he probably won't reject you, the person he once called the savior."
Although they said so, neither Tsuchiya Gakuen nor Sakuman Shu felt confident.
"The only question is, did you keep the contact information of that Lord?"
"You didn't?"
Sakuraman Shu and Tsumugami Gai looked at each other for a moment, and then they remembered that the man had always come directly to their door.
Volume 1: Between Man and God: Chapter : The Difference Between the New and the Old ()
Of course, Sakuramitsu Shu didn't know that it was actually quite easy for him to contact Ling Wu Ji. He just had to find Arisa Kōbōin, the president of the student union of his school, and he could get in touch with Ling Wu Ji. It was just that Sakuramitsu Shu didn't have much communication with her. In fact, if it weren't for special circumstances, he and Arisa Kōbōin were people from two completely different worlds.
Just like he used to be with those people in the funeral home.
But as Ling Wu Ji is a well-known mysterious figure, it is not easy to find him.
As Tsuchiya Gaku had said before, he had close contacts with the people from Scepter 4, and as the new King of Colorless, Sakuramitsu Shu naturally had the qualifications to talk to Reiji Munakata, and even the qualifications to have an equal dialogue, so he quickly got Ling Wuzhi's contact information from Reiji Munakata or Awashima Seri.
The two met once on the weekend.
"Sakuraman, I don't care what you want to do," Ling Wuji said after listening to his purpose. "As the colorless king of the stone system, isn't your best choice to go find Guo Changlu Dajue?"
"Your Majesty seems to be unwelcome to our arrival?"
Tsurugi Ya asked tentatively.
At this time, the three of them ran to a rather quiet shrine, and they were communicating while climbing the stairs in the forest.
Although it is a bit weird for three male creatures to gather together to worship at a shrine.
Especially since Ling Wu Ji and Sakuraman Shu both look like delicate middle school students, but standing next to them is a tall man named Tsurugami Gai with long golden hair, and Tsurugami Gai is dressed in black, like a funeral procession. The scene of these three people strolling in the green forest is really strange. In addition, Tsurugami Gai, who originally behaved very coldly, is very cautious in his attitude towards Ling Wu Ji, which makes the sense of incongruity even worse.
"I've already said it, I don't care. What I mean by "I don't care" is that it doesn't matter whether you come or not."
"Really?" Sakuraman Ji suddenly hesitated.
"But the question is, Sakuraman-san, what exactly do you want to do?"
"I just want everyone at the funeral home to stop going on like this..."
"You want them to go back to their old lives?"
Ling Wuji interrupted him and said.
Sakuraman Shu and Tsuchiya Gaya looked at each other in surprise: In a sense, Ling Wuji was not wrong in what he said.
Sakuraman Shu is just reminiscing about the past.
So he couldn't bear to see those people from the funeral home whom he had met before sinking into their current life.
"But in the past, funeral homes still had a goal. But since the hidden dangers of the Apocalypse virus were eliminated, funeral homes have lost their goals and the soil on which they depend for survival," Ling Wuji just said to himself, "But strictly speaking, has the world really become a better place because of the suppression of the Apocalypse virus? Maybe it is true for some people, because they don't have to pay extra living costs, and they can use more of the wages earned from their labor on their own interests and enjoyment. However, capital and chaebols are still high above, but funeral homes seem to be unable to see them. Why is that?"
Tsuchiya always felt that the boy was actually mocking him.
After all, it was he who formulated the funeral home's action plan and guidelines.
However, Ling Wuji still gave his answer: "Because you only see that capital and chaebols use vaccines to exploit you, but you don't see the exploitation of capital in other places. Of course, there is no point in saying this now, Yingman, the problem of the funeral home is not their way of survival, but the environment they have been accustomed to has changed, so they feel that their own program is no longer applicable, so they have become what they are now.
"And if you want them to return to their original state and replace Tsugami Gaya as their soul, you have to set a new goal for them, a goal that is in the interests of all the people in the current funeral home."
"Lingjun, you mean... to let me start a company?"
Sakuraman Ji hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
"That's fine, but do you have the ability to run a business?" Ling Wuji said absentmindedly.
Sakuramitsu Shu looked at Tsuruga Gaya, and Tsuruga Gaya shook his head decisively: It's not that they haven't thought about doing some serious work, but they all failed as expected. Of course, it can't be considered a failure, but most of them have become accustomed to using violence to communicate, and are completely unable to adapt to normal business dealings.
"To be honest, Yingman, although I don't know what your specific abilities are, the Colorless King's slate system can be considered a special existence, so in fact, I can have someone pay you and let you work for me," Ling Wuji just looked at the steps under his feet and said, "But, Yingman, is this what you want?"
Ying Manshu was silent for a long time.
He knew very well that Ling Wuji was just implying that even if he joined Ling Wuji's team, the funeral home would never be the same as it was before.
"Sakuraman, the Blue King Munakata Reiji chose to maintain order not only because he likes order, but also because he can gain considerable benefits from the current order. Although he certainly has no selfish desires, or his selfish desire is actually to make people recognize his ability through work, the Red King Suohono chose to destroy order, naturally because his clan can expand in the process of destroying this order. In the final analysis, what position a group of people will choose basically depends on their own interests." Seeing that he had been silent for a long time, Ling Wuji immediately started talking again, "So what is your position?"
"I suppose you have some advice for me?"
Tsurugi Ya struck up a conversation at the right time.
"Although I don't want to put it too harshly, in fact, the people in the funeral home are basically losers under the existing order. Of course, the environment may have changed a lot, but haven't you also failed to adapt to the existing environment or order?"
"so?"
"So distinguishing between friends and foes has always been the primary issue for the survival of organizations like yours."
"The problem of us and the enemy?"
Although Tsuruga Gaya looks mature, it is only in appearance after all. In fact, he is not much older than the two of them. If Ling Wu Ji said this to Hiratsuka Shizuka, she would probably react quickly. However, Tsuruga Gaya is basically a semi-illiterate wandering around. Although he has rich experience in dealing with people, his knowledge is not necessarily that good.
"Yes, it's a question of us and the enemy. As losers under the current system, isn't your biggest enemy the system itself?"
Volume 2: Between Man and God: Chapter : The Difference Between the New and the Old ()
Ling Wuji's statement is actually not too unusual for a group in the funeral home that is almost a terrorist organization.
It’s just that they used to have a broad mass base because of the rampant Apocalypse virus, but because Ling Wuji suppressed the spread of the Apocalypse virus to some extent, they gradually lost their mass base. And when Ling Wuji said that he wanted them to challenge Japan’s existing system now, was he really kidding?
Besides, he himself said that it was enough to just pay them wages and let them help him do things, so why did he suddenly say these things?
What is his intention?
At this time, Tsuruga Ya also noticed that this young man seemed to have never really established an organization directly under his control. Although he did have many partners, the relationship between him and those people was equal, and no one had ever obeyed his orders blindly.
"My purpose is just to hope that there will be a different voice in the mysterious side of Japan now." Ling Wuji had nothing to hide, so he just said, "Besides, although the savior Yingman is the colorless king, he obeys my orders, which will be misunderstood by Guo Changlu Dajue."
"What's the misunderstanding?"
"Misunderstanding, I am now planning to compete with him for the right to speak."
"A person like you would actually be afraid of someone like Guo Changlu Dajue?" Tsugami Ya raised his eyebrows and apparently put on the mask of the funeral home leader unconsciously again.
"Of course I'm not afraid of him. I just think he won't live for many years, so I don't want to mess with him while he's still alive. Besides, I don't necessarily want to rule the mysterious side of Japan. Even if I have that idea, it's definitely not now."
Tsuchiya Gaku exchanged glances with Sakurami Shu again.
"So, what do you mean?"
Ling Wuji sighed and said, "If you really can't find the direction, I have a suggestion."
At this time, the three of them finally walked up the long stairs and arrived at the shrine. Of course, there were not many people in the shrine at this time. There were only one or two priestesses cleaning and receiving guests. Ling Wuji was originally quite interested in those priestesses in white clothes and red skirts, but after seeing that the real faces of them were average-looking, he lost interest. So he just turned around and said, "I guess you are having a hard time after the big chaebol cut off your funding, right? So maybe you are doing something that the gangsters do?"
Of course, Tsurugi Ya had nothing to deny.
"What do you think is the difference between those yakuza and you?"
"Maybe we are more violent?" said Tsugami Ya.
"So, don't you think they are actually very similar to you? Although they are all violent and violent, they are basically losers under the existing system."
"You mean, you want us to unite those people?"
Tsurugi Ya frowned instinctively.
"No, the words should be put this way. You have to save them." Ling Wuji even made a gesture in a pretentious manner, which even seemed a bit deliberate, thus attracting the attention of the witch, "Amen."
But he seemed unaware and just continued to do his own thing.
Ying Man Shu and Yang Shen Yi exchanged glances again. They really couldn't figure out what Ling Wuji was thinking. It was obvious that he just had to choose to accept their joining, but he asked them to "save" those yakuza? Was the so-called salvation reading the Bible to the corpses of those yakuza who had committed heinous crimes before they were killed?
"I want to say this. If we really want to talk about the heinous crimes, your funeral home seems to be no less guilty, right? Even if that Kido Kenji is sentenced to death, he is not innocent. Can you even guarantee that you have never killed anyone during your armed struggle? Have you ever thought that the man has an 80-year-old mother and a pair of children who will be heartbroken because of his death?"
"There's no point in thinking so much on the battlefield."
It is obvious that Tsuruga Gaya is not the kind of person who would worry about such issues.
"If it was true in the past, but once you, Sakuraman, decide to lend your power to your clan or the people in the funeral home, they will have abilities that surpass ordinary people. Although everyone has different qualifications and the degree to which they can exert their power varies, it is definitely enough to deal with ordinary people, not to mention that you are experienced," Ling Wuji just said, "Of course, I am not saying that you should be unlimitedly tolerant of those people, but you must also follow the principle of 'don't kill a good person by mistake, and don't let a bad person go'..."
Tsurugi Ya roughly understood what Ling Wuji meant.
But he still pointed out: "If all you need us to do is to judge those people, then what about after the trial? You yourself said that we are losers under the existing system in the usual sense. There is no place for us in normal society. I also believe that some people are just misguided as you said, but they may not be able to return to normal society after the trial. In other words, they need jobs. Even if the jobs of extremists may not be glamorous, they still have nowhere to go."
Since he said he wanted to save us, it couldn't be just that.
Although from what he said, it seemed to Tsuchiya that he wanted to completely eliminate the radical elements in society.
But the reason why Japan's yakuza are like this is not just because of historical reasons.
Another reason is that the grassroots organizations of the Japanese police are simply not trustworthy.
In a sense, Japan's yakuza organizations are indeed more deeply rooted in the grassroots than the police.
"Can't you absorb some of it into yourselves?"
"Yes, yes, but..."
"Then let's leave it that way for now."
Ling Wuji just waved his hand and separated from them temporarily.
"What do you think?"
When Tsuchiya Gaya saw the young man disappear from his sight, he went to ask Sakuman Shu.
"It sounds like..." Sakuramanji hesitated and said, "It should be feasible, right?"
Tsurugi Ya sighed softly.
"Don't you think it's possible?"
“There will be a lot of problems.”
"But at least it's a direction, isn't it?"
Seeing the cheerful look on Sakurami Shu's face, Tsuchiya Gaya seemed to think that the boy whom he regarded as an idol in his memory had returned.
"Do you trust him that much? What if he just wants to use you for something?"
"Ya, when I saw you last year, I already admired you at that time." Sakuraman Ji suddenly said.
