"Hurry up and give me money, cash, credit card, electronic payment, or just scan the QR code here." All in all, I want money!"

Tanigawa's pupils turned into the shape of money. The left eye is "¥" and the right eye is "$".

It seems that Sister Tanigawa also accepts foreign exchange direct payment!

However, this is the moment I have been waiting for for a long time.

"Miss Tanigawa, it's rude. I propped my hands on the metal baffle and stretched my head in front of her as best I could, "Excuse me, you just said, 'Even if you two children are hired, your revenge will not be able to make up for the money you two owe me.'" 'Is that the case?'

"Eh, why do you suddenly have to speak in the same tone as a lady? Suddenly it sounds disgusting!"

"Miss Tanigawa, please listen to me carefully. I smiled slightly, "If my sister and I received your employment, do you think the price of the employment is up to you?"

"Of course, how can you let the two of you ask for a price?"

"You used to think that everything could be measured in money...... Do you think so now?"

"Yes. ”

Under my serious questioning, Tanigawa also showed a serious expression.

"Although there will be many people who refute me, but this is the creed of my life, and I will not change it. ”

"So, if you were to estimate ......," I said, smiling, "how much would it be worth the fact that my sister and I are desperately trying to help you find the devil together?"

Tanigawa blinked coldly.

"If it's limited to this trip, I'll give $100. Couldn't be more. ”

"I see. I nodded, "That's what it was worth." Your mind is so cheap. ”

"What's the matter with me?" Tanigawa said with some annoyance, "The reason why it's so cheap is just because you sisters are useless." And please don't blame others for your incompetence, which seems quite rude. ”

"Indeed, compared to a genius inventor like you, Kiyomi and I are almost like primitives. We have little knowledge, and we lack knowledge. "But that's not the only reason to measure the price." May I ask what is Miss Tanigawa's reason for killing the demons?

"It's none of your business. ”

Tanigawa said in an unusually cold tone as if he was enraged. I was unmoved.

I looked Tanigawa in the eye. If she had been Tanigawa, whom I had known before, the following words might be useful.

"I guess it's for the sake of savings. The past is irrevocable, and for a realistic capitalist scientist like you, it must be a truth that goes deep into the bone marrow. The reason you seek the devil is to prove the existence of the devil. Only when everyone discovers that the devil is real can the tragedy that happened to you be stopped. Only by arousing the consciousness of the people can your goals be truly achieved. ”

Tanigawa didn't think about fighting the demons on his own. Even if she has intelligence far beyond the average person, or has the support of a billion dollars, these are pale and powerless in the face of demons. What she actually wants to do is let everyone know about the existence of demons.

Do demons really exist?

Of course there is. I've been convinced of this by countless personal experiences. Just now, I saw a crab infected with a demonic toxin. But demons are hidden. Creatures killed by demonic toxins will eventually turn into black ashes and disappear entirely. This kind of death, which completely annihilates the evidence, makes it extremely difficult for the demon to observe. Even Tanigawa, who can develop his own submarine, can't easily find evidence of the existence of demons. But—

The course of history will not change because of this. Since demons exist, humans will eventually discover this. No matter how long it takes, the truth will always be revealed to people. In that case, why did Tanigawa have to be so eager to let people know about the existence of demons?

Perhaps, in five years, ten years from now...... By the time I was in high school, people would have realized how terrible demons were. But by that time it was too late, and the demonic power was already very large, and I don't know how many innocent people had died. The ravages of demons will always cause tragedy, and I don't know how many children like Naka Tanigawa will end up in orphanages......

This is the reason for Tanigawa's action.

Tanigawa nodded slightly.

"I see, I've got a complete insight into your purpose. ”

"Oh?"

"The real value of the two of you...... Help me prove the existence of demons. If I were the only one who painted the image of the devil, everyone would not believe it. But if there are more witnesses, the persuasiveness will also be strengthened. You are witnesses to the devil, and what you call 'hiring' is worth hiring at this level!"

I smiled at Tanigawa.

"What if it's 'hiring' at this level?"

Syllable.

I felt blurred in my vision and buzzing in my ears. I watched as Tanigawa hovered in mid-air, his right hand still trembling.

"Self-righteous guy, what do you know about me?"

Syllable.

I was slapped again.

"Do you think you can prove the existence of demons with a child like you? How long do you think it took me to convince them? I have written an unknown number of reports, conducted an unknown number of experiments, but it is still useless. As I said, humans hate to find things that are not good for them. Every time I come up with a piece of evidence or a hypothesis, the stupid guys come up with a new explanation against me. Isn't it good to turn everything into a meaningless academic dispute, and obviously focus on fighting the demons?"

At some point, there was a sobbing in Tanigawa's voice.

"You can't understand it. So far, I've spent $300 million in the budget, which is already 30 percent. However, I didn't achieve anything, and I still knew little about demons. If it's because the demon is too powerful, I'm okay with that. But ......," Tanigawa choked up, continued, "but 200 million of the $300 million was actually spent on the confrontation with the opposition. In order to refute them, in order to prevent them from studying me, they inflicted harm on me. This is the use of these 200 million yuan, it was wasted!"

At this moment, Tanigawa, who was sitting in the driver's seat of a cantaloupe, looked unusually petite. Although on the one hand, she is a cold-blooded and ruthless scientific researcher, and a realist who measures everything with money, but at the same time she is just an ordinary elementary school girl.

"Can you feel the feeling of being an enemy of everyone around you? Even the researchers I hired are just paying for them. They didn't believe in the existence of demons at all, they didn't believe in my research, and they didn't even like me as a person. They thought I was crazy, an arrogant child, and an incompetent person who couldn't get out of the shadow of disaster. On the one hand, I have to fight against demons, and on the other hand, I have to fight against humans. At the end of the day, I'm going to have a little more time to be hostile to humans. What the hell am I for?"

I looked at Tanigawa quietly.

"So, just a few innocent words from you and your sister can change everything? How much time and effort do you think I've spent on this? If you two can do anything, it will soon mean that my previous efforts have been in vain? Compared to me, you are just two powerless ants!"

"But. Maybe it's better for ants?"

"What stupid are you talking about?"

"Even incapable ordinary people like me and my sister are helping you in our own way. We know we can't do anything, but we still desperately search for the traces of the demons...... Isn't that telling?"

I said in a smooth tone.

Tanigawa's eyes widened for the first time.

I understand Tanigawa's feelings.

In many previous reincarnations, Tanigawa and I pursued the traces of demons together. Our actions seem to many to be idiots. Adults treat us as little ghosts who don't grow up. I totally understand what it's like to be against the whole world. On the one hand, we fought against demons to protect humans, but on the other hand, we were misunderstood by humans and lost faith. Several times, we thought it was ridiculous. Being misunderstood by those you protect is probably the greatest sorrow in the world.

It was because I understood this sadness that I couldn't let Tanigawa go the wrong way.

"Miss Tanigawa, do you have to prove it to someone? That person is most likely your funder. You need to tell your funder A that there is a demon because of A, so the demon exists. You're using this logical deduction to prove to him the existence of demons. Whether it's an equation, evidence, a paper, a report – what you're doing is just proofing. ”

"So what?"

Indeed, for Tanigawa, who is a scientific researcher, the most natural and effective way to prove the time. But I'm not a researcher, not only. I've played countless roles in society in countless previous reincarnations. Sometimes I am a housefather, sometimes I am a fashion designer, sometimes I am an ordinary electrician, sometimes I am a university professor. I have been involved in different fields and experienced different lives, so I realized what Tanigawa lacked.

"It's good to protect, but I don't think it's the only way. I said, "For the funders, your way does convince him of the existence of demons. But is his belief your ultimate goal? I don't think so, you just want him to fund your scientific research wholeheartedly. So, it doesn't matter if he believes in the existence of demons or not, as long as he is willing to fund you. ”

"That's what I said......"

"Miss Tanigawa, I think the word 'willing' is more important here. I continued, "You've been fighting the world all this time. You are proving, proving yourself right, refuting others, proving them wrong. But there is not only one way to solve problems. You can also drop the 'proof' and choose to 'impress' them. Even if they don't fully understand your thoughts, they will support you in the end because they are moved by your hot feelings. Humans are not machines, and humans don't need to figure out what is right or wrong. So Miss Tanigawa, you don't need to fight anyone either. What you need is just mutual understanding. Isn't it the superiority of human beings to be able to understand each other, and if you want to protect everyone, you must first recognize this......

"What...... How could it be ......"

Tanigawa stared blankly at the ground. She probably never thought that her previous lifestyle was wrong. After deciding that the whole world is his enemy, Tanigawa has been fighting his own. This life lasted for an unknown number of years, but suddenly a layman came and told her that all the enemies were set up by herself. It is only natural that Tanigawa will find it unacceptable.

It's cruel, and even though Tanigawa looks pitiful, I'm going to keep talking.

"What if my sister and I were supporting you in our childish, naïve ways - what would this look like to outsiders? Even if my sister and I weren't as strong as you, we fought the devil desperately in our own way. Wouldn't that make it easier to impress some people?"

Silence enveloped the small cockpit. For Tanigawa, what I said was something she had never thought about. She has been measuring everything with money, and she is using proof to understand the relationship between people. Sometimes, however, the mind is more effective. The childish and futile efforts of schoolchildren may be more effective than a well-proven thesis or a fortune that can shake the world. Because, what Tanigawa did was never "convince people of the existence of demons", and what she pursued was nothing more than a change of mind. Therefore, it is more effective to impress others with sincerity.

I thought Tanigawa was going to collapse, but she looked up. Not only did Tanigawa quickly perk up, but his expression looked more serious and serious.

"What's your name. ”

"The little woman is not talented, and now her name is Ijiin Sulfona. ”

"Oh, it's called Ijiin...... If you were so eloquent, in the war years, you would probably say that a dead soldier could also carry a gun to fight. Like the war maniac in World War II with a mustache and oblique bangs. He instigated a country with a powerful speech and even caused a war that swept the world. ”

"You've really won a prize. ”

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to compliment you at all. Tanigawa said coldly, "The method you said before might be feasible. Truth be told, your enthusiastic speech almost moved me – but, unfortunately, we in the scientific community are a bunch of weirdos without blood and tears. ”

"Oh, so my method doesn't work?"

"It doesn't work at all, you're underestimating us too much. Ordinary people may be instigated by you, but—" Tanigawa sneered, "Those of us who engage in science still pay more attention to 'proof', and as for my investors, they also value money more. Sometimes people are moved to tears when watching a movie, but once we get back to work, our reason will take over. ”

Is reason dominant?

I knocked my head. I remember that in the previous reincarnation, Tanigawa was a young girl with vitality, and she used her warm smile to make me, who had no interest in demons, join her action. I really didn't expect Tanigawa to be such a rational person in this world. I thought it was strange before, my most gentle, cute and empathetic sister has also become full of "Bichi", and the world has really changed.

"But I think your mental defenses have already been broken once. ”

"Hello...... Long-winded......" Tanigawa snorted coldly, "Even if you can convince me, you can't convince anyone else." They're even more ruthless than I am. Besides, you didn't shake me at all! You kind of trash talk without data ......"

"In that case, let me say it in the most acceptable way for Miss Tanigawa. I interrupted Tanigawa a little forcefully, "Miss Tanigawa, how much is your mind worth?"

"What are you talking about?"

"$100? Or $10,000, or $10,000, or $10,000, or more?"

"This kind of thing ......"

"You thought, 'My sister and I are desperate to help you find the devil' thing about $100. ”

"Yes, I think so now. When researchers see your childish behavior, they will only think that I have instigated it. After all, you're just schoolchildren who don't have any opinions. And to whom can your heart be touched?"

"So how much do you think it's worth the fact that a sister who survived a demon's attack is desperately trying to help a senior find the devil's traces'?"

"What?"

I smiled and continued.

"So how much do you think the sisters who survived the attack of the demons are desperately searching for the traces of the demons in order to heal their own psychological wounds, to find a way to prevent all tragedies from happening, and to reduce the burden on their predecessors?"

“……”

Naka Tanigawa, who survived the attack of demons, in order to heal his own psychological wounds, and in order to find a way to stop all the tragedies from happening, was silent.

"So how much do you think it is worth 'sisters who survived the attack of demons to heal their own psychological wounds, to find a way to prevent all tragedies from happening, to reduce the burden on their predecessors, to prevent their predecessors from getting into the horns of the bull again, to become the companions of that senior, and to desperately search for the traces of the demons in order to stop that senior from just fighting one by one?"

“……”

Perhaps, I really can't convince the researchers. When people have to deal with experimental instruments, computers or data every day, their minds will be involuntarily frozen. The big people who control the huge flow of funds are used to seeing the ups and downs of life and death, and they are naturally like ice. This ice is not completely impossible to dissolve, but it will take time and the right way to get it. With just the words of a child like me, I can hardly impress anyone. However, my words only need to affect one person.

My purpose was just to get Naka Tanigawa to accept me. So I don't need to worry about researchers and investors, I just need to impress her.

And I happen to have all the conditions to enter Tanigawa Mingjia's heart. I survived the demonic attack just like her, I was a child like her, and I believed in the devil as much as she did. Misunderstood by the researchers and bodyguards he hired, doesn't he need someone like me? I can't convince the world of demons, but I can make Tanigawa no longer be alone.

This is my unique value.

Friend, this is the final item I sold to Naka Tanigawa.

So, how will Tanigawa Mingjia choose? I looked at Tanigawa Mingjia with a tangled look on her face, savoring her pain, joy, and chagrin, and couldn't help but smile excitedly. Although I am grateful for the past Tanigawa Naka, but now this girl is also valuable for bullying. I love to see my favorite person look tangled.

"And how much is this East and West worth? $100, or $10,000, or a billion dollars, or more?"

“……”

Tanigawa silently pressed the button. The metal baffle beneath me suddenly retracted back to the ground, and I fell to the cold metal floor due to gravity.

Oh, it hurts......

I don't think I should have deliberately provoked the owner here at the last minute.

A shadow hung over me. When I looked up, I saw Tanigawa standing beside me with a frown. She spread her feet and landed straight in front of me, as if she were Nioh. The face is also as terrible as Nioh's.

"Has anyone ever said that you are a particularly arrogant and extremely sadistic person?"

"Please Miss Tanigawa don't change the subject, how much is the thing I just said worth it?"

"Hmph. Tanigawa gave me a cold look, "It won't be much higher than a hundred dollars." ”

"That's a pity. ”

I shrugged my shoulders.

"But it's just enough to pay me back. ”

Tanigawa turned away, and I was sure she must have a smile that I couldn't see by now.

Sometimes customers don't just want good and cheap products, it's their inner satisfaction that is the key. All I did was see through the loneliness in the heart of a girl named Mika Tanigawa.
