Chapter 41: The Fatalism of the Ghost Slayer

Lu Mingfei turned around, and was so frightened that his Chinese came out, only to see that Eri Yi didn't know when to untie the bright red belt, fade off the white clothes on her upper body, and then the translucent white lined "muscle loops" slid down the curve of her body, revealing her rounded shoulders and straight butterfly bones...... There is also black lingerie with lace trim.

This fragrant scene did not continue, because Lu Mingfei pounced like a wolf, grabbed Eri's hand, and stopped her from continuing to untie her underwear, he turned his head, his face was a little hot: "You, you, put on the clothes first."

Lu Mingfei heard the sound of squirming and getting dressed, and it wasn't until there was a long silence in An's room that he turned around cautiously, and Hui Liyi was really dressed and looked at him quietly.

"Didn't your family teach you not to undress in front of others?" Lu Mingfei felt that he should be a little more confident, but when he said this, he didn't know why he was a little weak-hearted.

Eri thought for a moment, took out a small notebook and a pen from her pocket, and quickly wrote a line of words: "Why?"

Lu Mingfei was stunned, how could he explain to the girl why he couldn't take off his clothes in front of others?

"This...... ...... hiss" Lu Mingfei scratched his head, thought about it and thought about it, and finally had a flash of inspiration and thought of a suitable reason, "Because it is very rude to take off your clothes in front of others!" That's right! It's going to be hated!"

Eri nodded thoughtfully, and lowered her head to write a line of words, which was much smoother for her than to speak: "But Eri wants to take a bath, what should I do?"

Lu Mingfei suddenly realized that this little princess who does not eat fireworks in the world originally wanted to take a bath, this little princess of the Snake Qi Eight Family had the power to kill as soon as she opened her mouth, and there was a risk of getting out of control at any time, thinking that she had never been in contact with the outside world and had not received systematic education, so in her opinion, undressing was just a preparation before taking a bath, and she didn't know what the love hotel was, she was simply attracted by the decoration of this place, but it was a little too exciting for Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei walked around the room and the bathroom, and confirmed that there was no pinhole camera or anything like that, before nodding to Eri Yi and saying, "Eri can go to the bathroom to take a bath, and you have to close the door."

Eri nodded, took off her shoes, and took out one doll after another from her pocket and put them on the coffee table, Little Monster, Ultraman, Easy Bear, Little Yellow Chicken, Barbie Doll, and Master Yoda......

After emptying the toys from her pockets, Erika finally took out a yellow rubber duck and put it on her head, and trotted around the room on tiptoe, like some mysterious ritual, and after doing these rituals, she trotted into the bathroom.

Lu Mingfei hesitated for a moment, and shouted into the bathroom: "I'll go to guard the door, you come out and knock on the door after you wash and get dressed, and I'll come in again, remember to be sure to get dressed!"

After speaking, Lu Ming left the room as if he had not escaped, and only breathed a sigh of relief after closing the door.

"It's so stressful......" Lu Mingfei squatted outside the door, inexplicably having the urge to light a cigarette for himself.

It's a mess to take care of girls.,In this regard, even a senior brother can do better than himself.,Forget it.,Ask him if you have time.。

……

Genji Heavy Industries Building.

The heads of the family had already left, and the conference hall was empty, leaving only Gen Zhisheng and Tachibana Masamune. Gen Zhisheng poured himself a glass of whiskey, and without looking at Tachibana Masamune, he walked to the window to watch the night view. As far as the eye can see, there are large neon signs, traffic swaying on the elevated road, high-rise buildings still brightly lit, flowers boiling with oil, and Tokyo is as bustling as it is during the day.

A white bird flapped its wings and flew across the sky, resting on the roof of a building, its chest rising and falling nervously. It was a seagull, probably flying from Minato-ku, and it is common for seabirds to get lost at night and chase the lights into the center of the city.

Gen Zhisheng silently looked at the white gull, Tokyo is a labyrinth, although it is glorious, but it can't find its way home, the white gull is surrounded by noisy human voices and engine sounds

, presumably there is no time to appreciate the prosperity, only panic, right?

"Dad, you know that I am not interested in the position of the head of the family at all, why do you have to pass it on to me? Or why do you have to pass it on to me at this time? There are a lot of people in the organization who covet this position, and you can find leadership people in them." Yuan Zhisheng looked at the white gull intently, and slowly spoke, his tone as if he was casually asking about an insignificant trivial matter.

"Because you are unique, childish, you have the blood of the emperor in your body, you are a gift of fate to the family, and only you can revive the family and lead everyone to glory. I used to be the head of the family, not because I was more suitable than you, but because you were young and needed someone to help you manage the organization. Now that you have grown up and I am old, and the family is at a critical juncture, we need you to stand up, and only you can stand up." Tachibana Masamune said earnestly, "And now is also the most appropriate time, I have already made the most difficult decision for you, you just need to win, and lead everyone to continue to win, so that you can sit firmly in the position of the patriarch and truly revitalize the family."

"But I'm going to get out of here, this won't be where I'm going." Gen Zhisheng's tone was very light, but his words were very firm, "I want to go to France."

"France is indeed a very good place, but here you are the emperor of the underworld, and in France you are just an ordinary person." Tachibana Masamune said.

"I wanted to go to France because I was an ordinary person there, and no one needed me to be an underworld emperor. If I'm also the Emperor of the Underworld in France, then I won't go there, I can go to Switzerland, Norway, Denmark, maybe some small city in China, I want to find a place where no one knows me, where I can sleep peacefully. Dad, we had an agreement, didn't we? I support you in dealing with the Fierce Demons and restoring the majesty of the family, and then I can go to France."

"Yes, I promised, after this incident is over, you will have nothing to do with the Snake Qi Eight Family...... I remember it very well." Tachibana Masamune let out a long sigh.

"But I've been swept deeper and deeper now, and I can't help myself."

Tachibana Masamune turned off all the lights with the remote control, leaving only the light outside the window. He poured himself a glass of soju and leaned against the other side of the floor-to-ceiling window to watch the night view, the neon lights changing and flickering on his face.

"I still remember when you first came out of the mountains, and I took you to eat at the best restaurant in Tokyo, Ryugin. The light of the dragon is also very dim, but it is brighter outside the window, and you put your face against the window and look out, your eyes are so focused. You said to me, "This is a big city! It's beautiful! Then I will also be famous in the big city, and I can come to Longyin to eat every day." Now that you're famous in the city, you can go to Longyin to eat at any time, and even control the lifeblood of the city, but now you want to leave the big city that made you famous and go to live incognito in a place where no one knows you. Why? Childish."

"I'm afraid of it." Gen Zhisheng said softly, "When I didn't know about this city, I longed for it, thinking that it was a place where my dreams came true, but the more I learned about this city, the more afraid I became of it, the Tokyo in my heart is dead, and the city is a monster to me now, and I feel that I will be eaten by it one day."

"The patriarch of the Eight Snake Clans doesn't need to be afraid of anything, what you say in this city is the rules, what you do is justice, if Tokyo is a monster, it is also a monster under your domestication."

"If I were seventeen years old, I would have felt my blood boil when I heard your father say that, right? But I'm twenty-four years old." Genjisheng shook his wine glass, and the ice cubes hit the wall of the glass with a rattling sound, "If seventeen-year-old Genjisheng were standing in front of me now, I would hate him...... Presumably he would hate me too, because he was a self-righteous guy who thought he was righteous, and then he became the director of the Executive Directorate and killed a lot of people in the name of justice."

"You're killing all ghosts! They have lost the meaning of being human beings! You're slaying ghosts to save more people! There must be someone who has such a ruthless heart, you have done nothing wrong, you have borne the consequences of killing, but you have also prevented more tragedies from happening."

"Yes, someone has to be so ruthless, but unfortunately I've never been that kind of person, and I can't learn to be that kind of person." Yuan Zhisheng said softly.

Tachibana Masamune was silent for a long time this time: "After so many years, you still can't forget the matter of the child?"

"How can you forget? I'm a ghost slayer, and the first ghost I've ever slain in my life is my own brother." "I threw his body in a waste water well, his dead eyes staring at the sky, and I knew he didn't believe it, and he didn't believe it until he died, and he didn't believe that my dear brother would really pierce his heart with a knife."

"But I did it, he's a ghost, and I'm the one who slays ghosts, it's fate." Yuan Zhisheng shook his head, "Fate."

"If you swap identities with a child, he'll stab you in the heart with a knife. You're right, this is fate, a fate that we all have to obey."

"I've been obedient for years, to hell with fate, I'm really tired. Daddy, let me go, and find someone else to replace me, so I can go to France."

Tachibana Masamune smiled bitterly and sighed, "Actually, I also want to go to France, to the Montalivi beach you mentioned."

Yuan Zhisheng was stunned: "It's a celestial beach, dad, are you still interested in girls' bodies when you're old?"

"I don't want to settle there, the only reason I'm going there is because you. That's what I thought about my life after you went to France, and I wanted to spend a vacation every summer on Montalivi beach, watching you walk by the beach from afar, flirting with those pretty girls, and applying sunscreen to their naked backs...... But I don't have to meet you."

"I don't take anybody, I don't tell anybody. I got off the plane at Charles de Gaulle airport, rented a car, and drove myself to Montalivi beach, pretending to be a old man who went to watch the girls basking in the sun. I've had so much blood in my life that I can't be free, and I'm destined to go to hell and become a demon. I'll get you in trouble when I meet you, and your future family won't like a demon to visit you all the time. One day when I die, you will be truly free, and no one in the world will ever know that you are the original child, and no one will disturb your peace again." Tachibana Masamune paused, "You don't have a tattoo, you're clean."

Yuan Zhisheng was silent.

He is indeed an outlier in the underworld, he has no tattoos. Tattoos in Japan is a symbol of the status of the underworld, according to the level and merit, parents will give different tattoos to the group members, high-level tattoos such as gods and ghosts and dragons and tigers, slightly worse cranes, cherry blossoms, carp and samurai, tattoos that can indicate the status of the parents are given by parents in accordance with the family rules to give the pattern, the group members take the pattern to find the tattoo master, the tattoo pattern represents the identity and status in the underworld.

Needless to say, Gen Zhisheng's status as the head of the Gen family is needless to say, but in the underworld, he also rose step by step from the most basic Ruozhong to rely on strength, but until he was promoted to the director of the Executive Bureau, Tachibana Masamune, as the head of the family, did not give him an honorary tattoo, so that sometimes there are young masters in the family who receive Western-style education and look down on the underworld career, to a certain extent, such discussions are in line with some of the facts.

"Tattoos are not only honors but also marks of the underworld," Tachibana Masamune said slowly, "People with tattoos will not be accepted by ordinary people, so people in the underworld can only associate with people in the underworld."

"Like a mourning of blood?"

"Yes, it's like the mourning of blood, it's just a matter of hugging together to keep warm. Parents give tattoos to group members, but also give chains to him, after the tattoo is bound to the underworld in this life, the underworld is a profession that is easy to get in and difficult to get out, people like us, partner to do the business of killing heads, who can say that they have not had blood on their hands? Washing your hands in a golden basin is just a fantasy, who will allow you to quit with a clean slate? Even if you quit, don't try to cut off the chain of grievances easily. Even if you hide to the ends of the earth, you may still be approached by the enemy."

"So the underworld is a road of no return, pick up the knife and you can only go all the way forward, only the knife in your hand can protect what you want to protect, and the day you let go of the handle of the knife is the time of death." Tachibana Masamune glanced at Genji, "But I want you to leave clean."

Yuan Zhisheng was stunned.

"Don't worry, I didn't have the idea of keeping you in Japan to accompany me from the beginning. We have been tormented by this fate for many years, but you, I hope to follow the path you want to take. After this is over, I will take over as the head of the family again, Fa

It doesn't matter if it's a country or anywhere, the world is so big, and there are places you can go." Tachibana Masamune drank all the wine in the cup, "Childish, do the last thing for the family, you are the emperor, your body has the blood of your ancestors flowing in your body, your consciousness will awaken the fighting spirit of all of us, kill the gods, cut off the fate of the ghost slayer, this is something that only you can do, you are the only super hybrid in the world, not only your fate, but also the fate of the entire family will be changed because of you."

"Cut off...... Is it fate?" Yuan Zhisheng stared out the window, and for some reason, he suddenly remembered the sword that cut through the dark clouds last night.
