Looking at Edogawa Chixia, who was kneeling obediently in front of him, Cha Xiu thought for a while, pointed to the dirt on the ground and said:

"This man who can use thunder and lightning is a servant assassin of the Heavenly Demons, hiding among the urban crowd and specializing in assassinating psionics. But unless it is an area where the security environment is unstable, the Heavenly Demon Assassin will not act in plain sight, you should be careful in the future, pay attention to strangers, and do not go to places with few people, which can basically ensure safety. ”

"Heavenly Demon ......" Qianxia was slightly dazed: "Sixth Heavenly Demon King? Oda Nobunaga? This assassin is from Oda Nobunaga's organization? ”

The Sixth Heavenly Demon King is Bo Xun, referred to as the Heavenly Demon, and is the head of the Heavenly Demon in the Heavenly Desire Realm. However, the first reaction of the Sakura people when they heard the Heavenly Demon was naturally that Fengyun in the Warring States Period. After the bombardment of game manga Taiga drama movies, the words "Heavenly Demon King" and Oda Nobunaga are almost identical.

Although Cha Shu wanted to deny it, he suddenly remembered Mibu Kurumi. Until now, he has not confirmed the specific origin of the Heavenly Demon, and even if Oda Nobunaga became a Heavenly Demon Commander, it would not be surprising.

It's just that this girl's imagination is too rich, just from the word 'Heavenly Demon', even the boss behind the scenes is associated, and even gives Cha Xiu some inspiration - he has never thought about the word Heavenly Demon to Buddhism, and by default it means 'Demon Outside the Sky', but now there may be a new explanation.

"Perhaps, you just need to know that there are Assassins roaming the city, and if you don't want to die, stay in a safe zone and don't give the Assassins any chance. Or, you can try to use this ability better to protect yourself instead of committing fraud. ”

Qianxia nodded gratefully: "Well, I understand, thank you for saving me, I will definitely be careful not to put myself in danger again." ”

This is a lie.

It's not that Qianxia doesn't believe in the Heavenly Demon Assassin, but she can't give up this kind of easy money, and she can beat the disgusting uncle to relieve stress and have a clear conscience of making money.

The Heavenly Demon Assassin is certainly dangerous, but isn't there someone who has come to save him?

Therefore, Qianxia paused, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she sighed softly when she saw the sad look of pity: "I also understand that the next time I am in danger, no one will necessarily save me...... The best way to protect yourself is to make yourself stronger. ”

"But I'm just an ordinary girl, and now I'm a prey in the eyes of the bad guys. No matter how cautious I am, there will always be times when I relax...... It was really dangerous just now, and I was almost killed by that guy. ”

Qianxia tried her best to create her 'poor and strong' character, and secretly looked at the swordsman, and found that the latter looked at her indifferently, and there were no mood swings at all!

In desperation, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said in a voice with a hint of crying: "I still have a lot of things I want to do, I haven't met someone I like, I haven't fallen in love yet, and I haven't seen the outside world...... I don't want to die, I want to live! ”

Very good, Chixia secretly gave her performance a perfect score in her heart.

You're going to invite me to join your organization, right!?

But the swordsman still looked at her expressionlessly, and even nodded - what are you nodding for, you think you are watching a TV series! No matter how bad it is, you should bring me a tissue!

She sobbed for a while, as if it had taken some time to calm her emotions, and asked with a smile and gratitude: "You saved me, I can't repay this kindness, may I have anything to repay you?" As long as I can give, as long as you need. ”

Quick, say you want me to work for you!

As long as you are willing to give a little money, as long as the monthly salary is more than 150,000, there is a year-end bonus, accommodation subsidy, transportation subsidy, food subsidy, even if you participate in the dark association that wants to rule the world, I will agree!

This time the swordsman finally responded.

"I need you to stop using this ability for fraud and criminal activities."

Qianxia's face froze, and then she said sincerely: "I promised you just now, I will never ...... again"

Cha Xiu shook his head and said, "I'm not an enforcer, I have no control over you, whether you will do this in the future or not, I actually neither know nor care." ”

"Extend your right hand with your palm up."

Qianxia stretched out her right hand for no reason, and then was grabbed by Cha Xiu's palm and hit it hard!

Qianxia almost exhaled in pain, but she held back, and immediately covered her mouth with her left hand, watching Cha Xiu hit her palm ten times, and the palm was hot, painful and numb.

Cha Xiu let go of her already red hand and said, "The bad things you did are not serious, and they are not light, I can't imprison you and labor you, so I beat you ten times." This punishment has no practical meaning and has no warning effect on you, but the pain you have suffered can make me feel good. ”

Qianxia withdrew her trembling and numb hands, gritted her teeth and smiled reluctantly: "Yes, if you do something wrong, you should be punished, I remember this lesson." ”

Cha Xiu was noncommittal, and treated his palm with a 'gift', and his own palm would also be hurt if he hit someone: "You take this man away, bring your room card and check out, pay attention to safety on the way and don't stay in a place where no one is, maybe there are other Heavenly Demon assassins nearby." ”

Qianxia was slightly stunned, looked at Cha Xiu blankly for a while, and suddenly asked, "Are you leaving?" Will you come back to me in the future? ”

"No, it won't."

"But didn't you come to protect me?" Qianxia finally couldn't hold back her strong and pitiful expression, and asked nervously, "Didn't you recruit me on behalf of your organization?" ”

"It's here to protect you, but it's not about you." Cha Xiu said: "And since just now, you have been lying, and I am no longer interested in continuing to talk to you." ”

"I'm not lying—"

"Your expression is indeed rich, but your life is too short."

Qianxia was slightly stunned, and Cha Xiu shook his head and said: "The most difficult thing for human beings to do is to recognize the correctness of others and admit their own mistakes. Your confession is too beautiful and too fake. ”

For thousands of years, Chaxiu has experienced countless lives and met countless people. He knows thousands of bar spirits, but he has seen only a handful of benevolent sages who can save their bodies.

Even when he followed Confucius to learn etiquette, Cha Xiu just felt that three years of filial piety was too long and would delay learning etiquette, so he proposed to Confucius to change it to one year of filial piety. Master Confucius asked him if his conscience would hurt, and he replied that it would not hurt, so he was scolded by Master Confucius to the point of blood, and the matter was also recorded by other students.

At that time, as now, he was a man of few words, and he usually only asked a few key questions, but those who were unreasonable could not say anything about him, and in turn said that he was a well-spoken man.

In the Tianjiao of each era, there are few sages who are good at admonishment, and more are dictatorial and authoritarian kings.

It was only later that he realized that this was the way humans protected themselves: by acting according to a fixed worldview, and by vehemently rejecting ideas that would shake one's own worldview. After all, life is already so difficult, there is no time to think about other things that are not available.

Human beings can forgive others for their mistakes, but it is difficult to forgive others for their mistakes.

And except for those who are evil by nature, the first step for the vast majority of people to do something wrong is to convince themselves, and as long as they can convince themselves, then they can find the right reason for their actions, from copying homework to killing people and setting fires.

Admitting a mistake is a denial of one's own thoughts, and it's a painful thing that even a child can resist, let alone an adult – when an adult is pointed out to be wrong in an anonymous argument online, he either goes back or plays dead, and rarely 'you're saying that's so good, I'm the pen'.

Edogawa Chinatsu's confession of mistake is too sincere, and it is very different from the human nature that Chashu is familiar with.

"You might have some trouble if the room becomes like this, though, but you should be able to fix this little thing." Cha Xiu looked at the burnt carpet and the big hole in the bed: "If you are really questioned by the government department, you can tell me about it, and you don't have to hide it." ”

Chinatsu touched the palm of her right hand, which was still in pain, and stared at Cha Xiu in silence.

After a while, she sat down on the carpet with her legs crossed and said, "Money." ”

"I need a lot of money, my mother is overworked, she has a heart attack, and she needs medical expenses and living expenses."

"What about the other relatives?"

"My dad was addicted to gambling, so angry with his grandparents that he owed a lot of money and jumped off the building. In order to avoid debtors and not to bother my grandparents, my mother took me to Tokyo. Finally settling down, she fell ill. ”

Qianxia is like telling someone else's story, her tone is calm and unwavering, there is no sadness and no helplessness, only numbness in the face of life.

Cha Xiu: "I deeply sympathize. ”

"Have compassion on me, just give me money." Qianxia raised her head and looked at Cha Xiu: "Or introduce me to a job where you can make a lot of money but won't get caught." ”

"If you can't help me, stop blaming me with righteousness, it makes me sick."

"Perhaps, I have another option."

Cha Xiu got up from the bed and picked up two sharp long swords.
