Something's wrong with my roommate

Chapter 71 The Bullying of Two Hundred People to One Person

As night fell, the assassins who had just finished their dinner shifted their positions one after another and came to the branch's auditorium.

The auditorium is a huge circular space surrounded by stepped seats and a platform in the middle, which looks like an opera house as a whole.

When Xu Cheng came in, the killers along the way were all pointing at him, but instead of looking at monsters like in the afternoon, there was a kind of gossip on the contrary.

Xu Cheng didn't know that according to the rumors, he and Qiu Gongyue even had a litter of children in the room.

He has no one to communicate with except Qiu Gongyue, so naturally he doesn't know these gossips.

He learned from Qiu Gongyue that tonight is a meeting related to all the assassins in the branch, called the election meeting, at which candidates will be elected.

Candidates are the best killers in the branch, and they can go to the headquarters for three years of training and learn the fourth level of breathing at the same time.

After returning three years later, the candidate with the best performance at the headquarters will become the successor of Buntai Arakawa, the branch chief, and the leader of all the branch killers.

In previous years, there were usually three competitors in the selection of candidates, but in recent years, Shinji Tsugumo's performance has been outstanding, and no one can compete with him. I am afraid that two accompanying runners will be arranged to take the stage together.

Xu Cheng quickly found his own serial number, seat 59.

Qiu Gongyue's serial number is No. [-], which represents the No. [-] of the same class, but she was not in the No. [-] position, nor did she come with Xu Cheng, but separated halfway, and she didn't know why.

This No. [-] made Xu Cheng thoughtful. He still remembered that his tenant had received a courier signed by No. [-]. Her expression at that time was intriguing.

Very good, there is another layer of evidence. Now the probability that Qiu Gongyue is a new moon has reached [-]%.

As soon as Xu Cheng sat down in his seat, he felt a look of awe and curiosity from the side.

He turned his head and saw that he was a shy-looking handsome young man, probably only in his early eighteen years old.

Seeing Xu Cheng looking over, he hurriedly sat upright without looking sideways.

Since this afternoon, Xu Cheng has long been used to this kind of gaze, and ignored him.

Soon, the killers of the entire branch had arrived, and five people appeared on the rostrum of the auditorium.

Three old men, two men and one woman, wore expensive robes embroidered with patterns, and seemed to be of high status. They were the elders of the branch, serving as advisors.

There were two people left, one was Arakawa Buntai, and the other was Akimiya Tsuki.

Xu Cheng almost stared out his eyes, but Qiu Gongyue ran to the rostrum.

The young man next to him was still peeking over, so Xu Cheng simply grabbed him: "Little friend, what's your name?"

The young man was taken aback, and replied in a panic: "My name is Bashi Jishui, no, my name is Hachiro, this is my code name."

Xu Cheng pointed to the rostrum: "Old Ba, can you tell me why the new moon is on it?"

Basi Jishui was shocked, you even had a child with her, but you still don't know her identity?

Also, my name is Hachiro, not Lao Ba.

Seeing that Xu Cheng didn't seem to be joking, Basi Jishui could only explain in a low voice: "Because Senior Xinyue is a descendant of the Moon Clan, the Moon Clan and the other three families jointly established the branch of the dead, so She can be there."

He murmured in his heart, this knowledge has been taught during the training, is this scary guy just bullying me?
"The founder of the Moon Clan?"

Xu Cheng thought, Qiu Gongyue, the younger brother who everyone avoids among the bestowed dead, is not worthy of such a prominent status.

He put his arm around Basi Jishui's shoulder: "Old Ba, why does everyone here seem to be afraid of getting too close to Xinyue, can you tell me?"

Being embraced by Xu Cheng with one hand, Basi Jishui was stiff all over, and his whole face was hot.

He wanted to push Xu Cheng away but didn't dare, so he could only lower his head and speak in a low voice.

And he became more and more certain in his heart that this hateful guy must be bullying him, otherwise how could he not even know about the Moon Clan.

At this time, three figures appeared on the stage below.

Standing in the middle C position is undoubtedly Shinji Tsugumo. As soon as he appeared, the entire audience burst into amazing cheers, and many people chanted his killer code name.

"Kagu soil!" "Kagu soil!" "Kagu soil!"

Shinji Tsugumo's killer codename is Kagutsuchi, the god of fire in Japanese mythology.

This code name is very in line with the Japanese's secondary character, but to Xu Cheng's ears, it's as awkward as someone using Zhu Rong as their code name.

However, Jin Yun Shinji's popularity among killers still frightened him, which is even more popular than beautiful girl idols.

The other two killers who accompanied them were completely like supporting minions, standing aside in embarrassment, so embarrassed that they used their toes to dig out three rooms and one living room.

On the rostrum, Arakawa Bunyasu watched this scene with cold eyes.

Shinji Tsugumo is usually very low-key and rarely shows his influence over other killers, but now...

Is this a counterattack against his partiality to Xu Cheng?Not even installed.

"Young man, don't be too arrogant."

An elder next to him let out a sigh of emotion, and no emotion could be heard in his faint tone.

Another elder smiled and said, "Young man, can you call him a young man if he is not young and energetic?"

Arakawa Buntai was not interested in listening to the two elders fighting, so he stood up to stop the killers from cheering, and at the same time announced the start of the election meeting.

There will be two links in the election. First, the killers will vote anonymously on the following three competitors, and the person with the highest number of votes will win.

The voting ended soon, and Shinji Jinyun won with the highest votes without any surprises. The two killers who didn't even have names next to him had no choice but to roll off the stage in desperation, leaving the stage to Shinji Jinyun.

The applause broke out like a storm, and Shinji Tsugumo was bathed in earth-shattering cheers.

At this moment, he is the only protagonist.

Shinji Tsugumo smiled, waved to thank the supporters in the auditorium, and only stopped when he looked at Akimiya Tsuki who was sitting on the rostrum.

He was very confident before, thinking that Qiu Gongyue would definitely come to find him for a deal, and exchange votes for the spell of clearing the heart.

But until the election meeting started, she never showed up.

Could it be that she would rather give up the Purification Curse than fight against herself?
Jin Yun Shinji showed a confident smile. He had already arranged the countermeasures in advance to ensure that Qiu Gongyue would vote in favor.

In the second session, Bunyasu Arakawa, the current head of the branch, voted together with the four elders of the family who founded the Japanese branch.

Because the Moon Clan is absent, Qiu Gongyue, the only descendant, votes on behalf of the Moon Clan.

This round of voting was not anonymous. Under the eyes of everyone, Bunyasu Arakawa and another elder abstained according to the order of voting, which meant neither agreeing nor opposing.

The other two elders, one voted in favor and the other voted against.

Finally, in the auditorium, all eyes were on Qiu Gongyue.

Her vote will determine whether Jin Yun Shinji can become a candidate.

"agree!"

I don't know who was the first to shout out, but soon, the voices almost became one.

Japanese people have a sick herd mentality, even killers are no exception. When the majority of the crowd is shouting, even if the rest of the crowd disagree in their hearts, they will subconsciously follow suit, lest they become a minority.

The result of this is - all the killers began to shout, and their voices gradually became uniform, converging into a wave, and the spatial structure of the auditorium amplified everyone's volume.

The huge sound wave seemed to overturn the entire ceiling, rushing towards Qiu Gongyue like a tsunami.

"agree!"

"agree!"

"agree!"

The expressions of Arakawa Bunyasu and the three elders changed slightly.

But at this time, no one stood up to stop it forcibly, but waited for Qiu Gongyue to vote.

Shinji Tsugumo stood in the middle of the stage, enjoying the moment with a smile. The deafening sound was like the sound of nature to him.

Amid the bursts of shouts, Qiu Gongyue felt unprecedented pressure. She pressed her lips tightly, trying to keep calm, but her fingers had already started to tremble.

"agree!"

"agree!"

"agree!"

The yelling continued, but it was not a request, but a coercion, a bullying by more than two hundred people to one person.
