For the Monster Thieves, the next few days will obviously not be easy.

Akechi Goro's speech on the show naturally caused a lot of discussion, but the most controversial was obviously Duanmu Ai's merciless rebuke and ridicule. For a while, the remarks on the Internet about Duanmu Ai were excited, and most people thought that Duanmu Ai was too unsympathetic, but some people thought that Duanmu Ai just said what everyone didn't dare to say.

So, what do the Monster Thieves think about this?

"She's just talking nonsense!"

Ryuji Sakamoto slammed his fist on the table angrily, indignant.

"We obviously did a good thing, we saved so many people, but she actually said that our existence is meaningless? Shouldn't those we rescued be saved? ”

Her statement is not unreasonable, but it ......... I don't think most people have the courage to stand up. ”

Another member of the Monster Thieves group, Yusuke Kitagawa, shook his head.

"That's why we need the existence of the Monster Thieves, don't we!?"

"Ryuji, your voice is too loud."

Yugong Lian silently reminded her, and at the same time looked at the picture on the TV, the host and experts were still arguing about these issues. Although there is controversy over Duanmu Ai's remarks, they also have to admit that this kind of remarks are very bold. On the one hand, you can't say she's wrong, but on the other hand, it's really not the kind of view that people can accept.

Of course, Duanmu loves himself and doesn't care about this.

At this moment, Gao Juan Xing sighed.

"I think......... Maybe we're really doing it wrong? ”

"What are you talking about?"

Ryuji Sakamoto stared at Takamaki dissatisfied.

"Don't you think we shouldn't do this? Shouldn't we send that bastard of Kamoshida to jail? And Madara this liar! ”

"I didn't mean that, I mean......... If you think about it, the reason why we have to deal with Kamoshida is because we ourselves are threatened by Kamoshida, aren't we? At that time, the situation was that if we did not resist, Kamoshida would forcibly ask us to drop out of school......... That's why we're going to fight against Kamoshida, right? ”

"So what?"

"But......... After that, I think everyone's minds seem to have changed, especially you, Ryuji, you seem to think that with this kind of power, we should be nosy........."

"How can it be called nosy, we are fighting for justice! Moreover, wasn't it because of us that Yusuke learned the truth and was liberated from that madara's hands? ”

But what is our purpose? What exactly are the Bandits going to do? ”

Gao Juan Xing also raised his head at this time and looked at Ryuji Sakamoto.

"On the website, people expect us to solve their troubles and injustices, why? Just because we're a group of thieves? What do they think of us? Ryuji, we risked our lives to do this, but all we got was gratitude and thanks——— and they didn't even know who we we......... I don't think that's right. ”

"What? Do you mean, we help others, and we have to pay for it? ”

Hearing this, Ryuji Sakamoto also sank his face.

"No, I just think......... Something is not quite right in our current situation, the people who support us and praise us, and we just go as they say......... It's like right now, we're thinking about how to deal with the more well-known adults, and then make a name for themselves as a bandit...... I don't think that's what we should do. ”

"What? Are you scared? Want to quit? Coward! ”

Hearing Takamaki Apricot's answer, Ryuji Sakamoto snorted lightly and spoke. And hearing Ryūji Sakamoto's words, Gao Juan Xing suddenly raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, I may be a coward, but I'm much better than a fool like you! You don't have a brain, you don't know what you're doing! ”

After saying this, Gao Juan Xing stood up angrily, and then walked out of the family restaurant. And looking at the back of Apricot Takamaki in the distance, and the nonchalant appearance of Ryuji Sakamoto, Amamiya Ren and Kitagawa Yusuke glanced at each other, and then sighed.

How did it come to this?

Walking out of the restaurant angrily, Gao Juan Xing also gritted his teeth, and there was a fire in his heart. After getting Madara to repent, Takamaki found that the atmosphere of the Strange Thieves had become a bit strange, and they were more and more concerned about what those people on the Internet said, and they were even willing to "sanction" someone through requests on some websites.

Maybe others didn't notice it, but as a model, Takamaki Apricot instinctively sensed the danger. After all, she has been in this industry for a long time, and she knows what it means to be higher and worse. Is it really a good thing to do what the public wants?

Gao Juan Xing doesn't see it that way.

"Tick ......... Tick ........."

At this moment, Gao Juan Xing felt a cold touch on her face, and she raised her head, only to see raindrops falling from the sky. So Gao Juan Xing also hurriedly put on her hood and trotted all the way to a nearby station, and when she took off her hood, she saw a familiar figure not far away.

"Duanmu-san."

"Hello, Takamaki."

Hearing Gao Juanxing's voice, Duanmu Ai turned his head and nodded to her.

"Why are you here?"

"I......... I'm having a party with someone else and I'm going home, what about you? ”

"Something happened, I just went to the police station."

Speaking of this, Duanmu Ai frowned, she went to the police station not for anything else, it was Dott who contacted her, and the reason for coming to the police station was very simple, that is, the fat and short frustration who was arrested before died in prison——— the cause of death seemed to be purely physical reasons.

To be honest, this doesn't seem like a big deal at first glance, but the problem is that according to the clues gathered before, there is a big fish behind this guy.

And Dott also told her that a few days after he was caught, the apartment he was staying in caught fire.

It's hard not to think about what's wrong.

Unfortunately, at least on the surface, there was nothing wrong with this, the autopsy results were normal, the fire in the apartment was caused by a short circuit in the electrical wiring, and there was no sign of arson, which can only be said to be unlucky.........

Originally, Dott wanted Duanmu Ai to investigate by the way, but Duanmu Ai was not interested in adding more workload to herself, after all, now she has to go to the subspace through the TV every day after going home for a period of time to conduct investigations, so naturally she didn't plan to work overtime on her own.

"That's ........."

Gao Juan Xing didn't know what to say, so she had to respond casually, and then fell into silence. The two of them looked at the street in front of them, and at the same time, the rain poured down, and the whole world seemed to be separated by the rain curtain.

"Duanmu-san........."

Gao Juan Xing also seemed to have the courage to look at Duanmu Ai at this time.

"I would like to ask......... What do you think of the Monster Thieves? ”

"Isn't my attitude already obvious on the show?"

"I didn't mean that, I mean......... What do you think will become of the Monster Thieves in the future? Now there are more and more people supporting the Monster Thieves online........."

"Later?"

Faced with Gao Juan Xing's inquiry, Duanmu Ai glanced at her.

"There will be nothing in the future, the monster thieves will end sooner or later, and no matter how many people support them, it will be useless."

"No......... Use? ”

"That's right, like I said, only those cowards who don't dare to formalize reality and dare not rise up and fight on their own will support the Monster Thieves. But cowards are cowards, no matter how fierce they shout on the Internet, in reality they are still wastes who have achieved nothing. I just hanged the monster thieves in front of them, and these guys who are called happy on the Internet must not dare to put a fart. ”

Speaking of this, Duanmu Ai snorted lightly.

"In the final analysis, they just take that strange group of thieves as their own psychological sustenance, just like Cinderella in a fairy tale, always dreaming that one day there will be Prince Charming to save her from the sea of suffering——— but the reason why fairy tales are fairy tales is because they are illusory. In reality, there will be no prince on a white horse to save anyone, unless they are willing to stand up on their own, and if they continue to choose to kneel——— then kneel, and that's it. ”

Speaking of this, Duanmu Ai remembered a TV series he used to watch before Thief Zorro, in which Zorro is a character who punishes evil and promotes good, whenever people are abused by the Spanish colonizers, he will appear to help the people fight against the colonizers, defeat the colonists and then leave.

Of course, at the time, the plot was very cool, but it didn't work.

After Zorro is gone, aren't those people still the same?

It's the same with heroes in martial arts, what punishes corrupt officials and saves the people, it looks cool, but what's the use?

The hero is gone, aren't the people still living in dire straits?

Do you have the ability to pull a team of people to revolt?

For the sake of sacrifice and ambition, dare to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky.

If you don't even have the slightest ability, what's the use of being alone like a lone ranger?

Of course, if you can be like D, one person is more powerful than a city, that's another matter.

But in fact, even D, it was only after finding a lot of people that he reformulated a new rule and order, and then pulled this team to fight all over the world, which laid a new foundation for the current civilized society in the human world.

So Duanmu Ai looks down on any grand thieves in her heart, in her opinion, this kind of thing simply satisfies their own psychology of punishing evil and promoting good, but in fact it does not really bring any change.

It's like a neighborhood where crime is rampant, gangsters are fighting, and the so-called heroes come forward, that is, defeat a few gangsters and stop the gangsters.

But does this solve the problem?

Of course not, to solve the problem fundamentally, it is necessary to provide more jobs in this neighborhood, reduce unemployment, and improve law and order, so as to avoid the emergence of new gangs and continue to fight——— can heroes do this kind of thing? Did Rogue do it? Can the thief do it?

I can't do it.

This is also why Duanmu Ai will say that the existence of the Monster Thieves Group is meaningless at all. They can only change individual cases, but they can't change the environment. And the inability to change the environment means that a large number of routines will continue to appear, and they will only be exhausted and eventually exhausted.

Like the previous school bullying incident, the teacher in question went in, but what's the use? Without a proper system of rules and regulations to improve the guarantee, who knows how many similar things will occur in the future, will it all depend on the monster thief group to deal with it?

So, it's not Batman, not Robin, not Zorro, it's the police.

It can be seen that procedural justice and consequential justice are equally important.

Duanmu Huai has to seal every time he puts an extermination order, and the trial court did not say that he would casually brand people as heretics without asking questions.

The process that should be followed still has to be followed.

That's why the Trial Chamber rarely interferes in the internal affairs of other countries, and that's why it's a long way to go, and the Trial Chamber doesn't have the time to do that. So as long as the other party is not involved in heretics, aliens and demons. No matter how inhumane the rule of the other party is, it has nothing to do with the Inquisition.

But on the other hand, as long as you have a little bit to do with these three, don't care about your current peace and security, the court will give you a favor.

“…………………”

Hearing Duanmu Ai's words, Gao Juan Xing lost her mind for a while, I don't know how long it took, when she came back to her senses, she found that the girl next to her had disappeared, and not far away, a bus was slowly coming.

Perhaps, I really have to consider whether to continue to stay in the Monster Thieves Group.

Gao Juan Xing thought about this question while getting on the bus.

Just when Gao Juan Xing was worried about whether she would continue to stay in the monster thief group, Duanmu Ai, who had returned to the office at this moment, looked at the big TV in front of her with a twitching face, and the indescribable sound coming from it.

"Ah~~It's hot~~~It's hot~~~"

A young man wearing only a crotch cloth scratches his head and writhes in the middle of the TV screen.

"What should I do with my hot body? Now that it's all like this, we have no choice but to go deeper......... Suddenly! Enter! Let's go! ”

While shouting, I saw this neurotic turn and rush into the door in front of me, and then, the TV screen became dark again.

Only then did Rumi Ai tilt her head and look at Duanmu Ai suspiciously.

"Inquisitor, is this a late-night TV?"

"Probably..............."

Duanmu Ai helplessly reached out to hold his forehead and sighed silently.

"Obviously, this man should also be a projection of someone's soul..............."

"Are you going to help?"

“…………………”

In the face of Lumi's inquiry, Duanmu Ai was silent for a moment.

"Nope."

Subsequently, she gave an answer.

"I think they'll be able to figure it out on their own——— or rather, he's better dead.........
