156. The Destiny of Man
After interrogating Jiujing, Kyushu Makoto reported the situation to Yinyangliao and handed over to the local police.
After learning the information of more than a dozen members of the Flying Heroes Gang, including "Renma", the police station was boiling again, and they hurriedly dispatched people to arrest them.
Of course, these exploits are naturally counted on the head of the Kyushu Cheng team, and his Yin-Yang Liao points have skyrocketed, and this month's remuneration has also increased a lot.
Before leaving, Makoto Kyushu told the police the truth about the "Hikui Hostel Theft Case". The police officers were all embarrassed at first, but after glancing at a reporter who was squatting outside the door eating a boxed lunch, they immediately changed their tune and said that they would re-investigate.
After all, the Kanagawa Metropolitan Police Department finally smashed the Flying Heroes Gang, and they are planning to use the topic to play and hype up their positive image.
If someone suddenly reveals that "the leader of the Flying Heroes Gang went astray because of the police's negligence", then the Kanagawa police would have to be hung on the pillar of shame along with their counterparts in Tokyo.
So it's better to solve the theft case that has been eaten for two years - that's what the Kanagawa police think.
After doing the necessary things, Makoto Kyushu called Eliza to inform her, went to the hotel to pack her luggage, and bought some local souvenirs to go back to Tokyo.
Although there are two other bad groups in Yokohama, and the law and order is still not much better, Kyushu Makoto does not plan to continue to manage it.
Kyushu Cheng is willing to deal with the Flying Heroes Gang, on the one hand, out of good intentions, and on the other hand, for Eliza's sake. Coupled with the fact that Yin Yang Liao offered a high reward, he had no reason to refuse to do it.
However, the two remaining bad groups in Yokohama have not been characterized as "supernatural criminal organizations", and the work of arresting them should naturally be handed over to the Metropolitan Police Department, and it is not Kyushu's turn to make do.
He has always been kind and charitable, but he is not idle enough to take the initiative to work with the police, and these "tax rice buckets" should also play a little bit of their own value.
After returning to Tokyo by limited express train, Makoto Kyushu immediately went to Yinyangliao with the Yujin Key.
Yin Yang Liao did a full set of tests for the Xishen Key, and designated him as an "apprentice".
The vast majority of newcomers enter the industry as "apprentice-level", and only strange people like Kyushu Cheng who have performed "good shows" are eligible to skip grades.
Like Kyushu Cheng, he is also a "stone man" with mediocre talent, and he will mainly use props in the future.
Kyushu Cheng helped him do a full set of induction training, and took him through two novice commissions, which can be regarded as guiding him to complete the introduction.
Compared to the C-level commission to fight to the death with the monsters, the apprentice-level commission is all chores such as running errands and organizing bookshelves, which is easy and no danger at all, and Kyushu Makoto spent an afternoon with him to complete all the tasks.
"Sure enough, with your ability, you can quickly adapt to this industry." The two walked to the door of Yinyangliao, and Kyushu Cheng said:
"Even if you are officially in the industry now, contact me if you have any difficulties in the future." Make more friends and many ways", this is your professional creed, right? ”
"Haha, that's right~" Xishen Key took out the keychain and turned it around twice, joking:
"But it's really subtle to become your junior. Do I have to call you 'Kyushu seniors'? ”
"It's okay, you don't have to follow this red tape." Kyushu Makoto couldn't help but laugh: "If you call me that, it will make me feel uncomfortable." ”
"Then let's use the old name, little brother Kyushu~ It's much easier to call it like this." Xishen Key sighed with a little solemnity:
"Thank you so much this time. Thanks to you for introducing me into this industry, a problem that has been bothering me for a long time is finally starting to come to an eyebrow. ”
"The question that has been bothering you for a long time?" Makoto Kyushu asked worriedly, "Is it a serious matter?" ”
"It's just a personal thing, it's not a big deal." Sunset quickly skimmed over the topic and didn't want to talk about it more:
"See you later, contact me next time you have a commission, I will consider more than you to discount!"
Makoto Kyushu returns to Kamuro Town, where he has been absent for a long time, and plans to go out for dinner.
As he walked through a busy street, he suddenly heard a familiar call.
"Little Brother Red, I really haven't seen you in a while, haven't you been in Tokyo lately?"
Night Tour Tianyin is still stalling on the street to open a divination shop today, and when he saw Kyushu Makoto, he greeted him.
"We haven't seen each other a few times in total, so how can you conclude that I'm not in Tokyo just because I haven't seen me for a week?" Makoto Kyushu took the initiative to go up, and his attitude was a little better than before.
"We both live in the same town, and I actually see you on the street every two days or so." Night Tour Tianyin pursed his lips and smiled, and quickly played with the playing cards in his hand:
"But unless your line of fate changes, I generally won't take the initiative to stop you."
"Is that the case" Makoto Kyushu's back couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat: "Okay, I did go to Yokohama for a week. ”
Kyushu Makoto used to always want to avoid this magic stick, but he didn't expect that the other party had actually been watching him silently in secret, and it was a little scary to think about.
"Then you stopped me today, did you want to continue divining for me?" Kyushu asked.
Night Tour Tianyin closed his eyes, and after washing the tarot cards in his hand, he took out a card with a picture of the girl bowing her head and stroking the lion.
"This is the [power] of the reversal, and the induction is very strong." Night Tour Tianyin glanced at the cards, closed his eyes again, and chattered:
"I saw a group of people, many of whom were fierce on the outside, but cowardly on the inside, and who had been running away from their true selves. But guests, you can certainly teach them that only love and a strong heart can turn into true strength. ”
After finishing speaking, Night Tour Tianyin put away the tarot cards: "There is only this one revelation today, I can't see more." We'll see you next time, guest. ”
Night You Tianyin was just about to reshuffle the cards, but the lower abdomen made a slight "grunt" sound at an inopportune time.
"I'm sorry, I was rude." Night Tour Tianyin lowered his head in some embarrassment.
Kyushu Cheng didn't mind, but proposed: "Miss Night Tour, do you want to go to dinner together?" I invite you. ”
Night You Tianyin first covered his mouth and was surprised for a while, but then smiled curiously and interestingly:
"Even if you invite a fortune teller to dinner, it won't let you get better divination results~"
"It has nothing to do with divination, it's just an ordinary meal." Kyushu Cheng explained: "We have known each other for so long, and now we are peers of Yin Yang Liao, so let's be regarded as fate, right?" ”
"Since the guests are so kindly invited, then I will close the stall early today~" She began to clean up the stall, which was considered to have agreed to Kyushu Cheng's invitation.
After thinking about it for a while, Makoto Kyushu took her to "Kyushu Ichibanxing".
He hasn't been here since Suzumiya left Tokyo.
Walking into the store, the boss uncle immediately recognized him.
"Good evening! Why did you kid change to a female cough! Halfway through the conversation, the boss uncle immediately changed his tone and asked:
"By the way, where did Suzumiya Chu go? I haven't seen her lately. ”
Makoto Kyushu sat down at a table and said, "She left Tokyo, saying that she was going to Kyoto to live with her mother. ”
“.” The boss uncle stared at the colander in his hand, hesitated for a moment and said, "She escaped? ”
"Yes, she escaped." Kyushu Cheng nodded: "But she had a little accident before leaving, and she didn't have time to greet you." ”
"It's okay, I don't expect her to remember me anyway." The boss uncle smiled heartily and shouted heartily, "Okay, what do you two want?" ”
"Huh?" Kyushu Cheng pretended to be stupid and joked: "I thought that the boss would be happy to invite us to dinner after hearing the news." ”
"If you want to be beautiful, I also want to do business! Don't think about having a free dinner at my place! The boss uncle had a mean mouth, but he smiled happily: "Forget it, I'll scoop you an extra spoonful of pork bone soup!" ”
Hearing this, the customers in the ramen shop laughed happily, and some customers jokingly complained: "The boss is really slamming the door, no wonder it's not as good as Yilan!" The boss was so angry that he couldn't speak again.
After the ramen was served, the two broke the bamboo chopsticks and started moving. Since Makoto Kyushu hadn't eaten properly for almost a day, he made an exception this time and ordered two bowls.
Night Tour Tianyin's dining movements are as quiet as usual, and she hardly makes a sound when eating noodles, but after eating, she can't help but praise "It's delicious".
Watching Makoto Kyushu eat the second bowl of ramen, Yeyou Tianyin held his cheeks and smiled for a while, then raised his black gloved palm and looked at it thoughtfully.
"It's summer, are you still wearing gloves?" After eating the noodles, Makoto Kyushu asked with concern.
"As you know, my hands are prosthetics." Night Tour Tianyin calmly explained, "If you are exposed to the outside at will, it will attract unwanted attention. ”
"Was it an accident that happened when I was a soul exorcist?" Kyushu asked.
"Well, yes. It was a long time ago, and I did it myself. Night You Tianyin smiled bitterly, shook his head and said:
"I'd like to ask a guest a question more than this trivial thing about me."
"What's the problem?" Makoto Kyushu raised his head.
Night Tour Tianyin pursed her lips and smiled, and asked, "Guest, do you think that 'fate' can be changed?" ”
"That's the question." Kyushu Makoto frowned and thought, completely clueless: "Is this a philosophical question?" Or is it related to the removal of spirits? ”
"It's okay, I just wanted to ask." Night Tour Tianyin shook his head slightly:
"I feel that even if the guests realized that my divination was true, they didn't go out of their way to please me, or take my divination results very seriously."
"Because the results of your divination are ambiguous every time, it is difficult for me to guess the specific meaning no matter how much I think about it." Kyushu Makoto said truthfully:
"Besides, it's not like I can't live without divination. What should come will always come, and instead of being upset by a few words of divination results, it is better to simply live according to your own wishes. ”
"I see, do you prefer to believe that "fate" is predestined?" Night Tour Tianyin put his hands on the table and smiled.
"You mean fate can be changed?" Makoto Kyushu frowned.
A philosopher named Pascal once asserted that man's "fate" is a doomed tragedy. Yeyou Tianyin snorted softly in his nose and said:
"People are born with the death penalty and are subjected to numerous betrayals and suspicions throughout their lives. The more you gain, the more memorable you will be when you lose. Even if you fight to the end, you have to accept the inevitable death."
But if we see "fate" as the combination of all tragedies in the world, is trying to prevent it from happening an act of rebellion against fate?
Night Tour Tianyin's words made Kyushu Makoto stunned, and he didn't keep up with her rhythm at all.
"I'm sorry, guest, but I didn't mean to bother you." Seeing this, Night Tour Tianyin didn't plan to continue to embarrass him:
In fact, all theories about "fate" are nothing more than false propositions that cannot be verified. But I saw that you have the power to turn your fortunes around. ”
"I reversed my fate?" Makoto Kyushu wondered, "When?" ”
"You've been doing this all the time, whether it's turning the inverted hand into straight position or bringing the disappearing card back into place." The night tour of the sky has become mysterious again:
"Your natal card is [Red Medium], which is a more indefinable existence than the [Fool], which symbolizes "infinite possibilities", that is, it is free from all nothingness, an empty shell of nothingness, perhaps because of this, you have the ability to resist fate. ”
"I'm sorry, but please think I'm talking to myself." Night Tour Tianyin slowly got up and said softly:
"But my message to you is still the same one. No matter what happens, even if you are alone, it is only the bonds between people that can help you get through the difficulties. ”
