Tokyo people don't talk about Wude

Chapter 155. 153. Demon Monk Jirokichi

After confirming that Jiroji Kui had fainted, Makoto Kyushu put him to the ground, ready to get up to check Eliza's injury.

She seems to have been seriously injured in the battle just now, and here is the frozen warehouse again.She had to be taken out quickly before she died of hypothermia.

Just when Makoto Kyushu got up, the palm of his hand inadvertently reached Jiujing's face, and his fingertips touched the smelly and sticky dirty blood.

He frowned, and just wanted to move his palm away, but his mind was in a trance for a while, and his eyes became lax.

"How come. Are you going to be psychic again?" Makoto Jiuzhou held his forehead with one hand.

Regarding "psychic physique", Makoto Kyushu specifically consulted Yinyangliao before.

"Psychic Physique" is not a particularly rare ability, and has nothing to do with personal talent, and may even be acquired.

This ability allows the souls of humans and spirit species to resonate with each other, and allows the strong to read the memories of the weak.

Yinyangliao said that the common characteristics of people with "psychic physiques" are that their souls are more sensitive than ordinary people, but their hearts are tougher than ordinary people.Most of them are extroverted, and they often live with the belief that they "want to communicate frankly with everyone".

As for the triggering condition of "psychic communication", Yinyangliao said that "the soul fluctuations of both parties should be at the same frequency", but to put it bluntly, it is to follow the fate.Because human beings cannot easily control the fluctuation of the soul, unless with the help of special props or spells.

Therefore, the effect of this kind of physique is not as good as a "psychic talisman".Yinyangliao's warning to him is almost the same as Eliza's:
"Don't feel that you are special just because you have acquired a little ability. You are far from those who are truly talented. You must continue to be humble and cautious."

Probably because Jiujing Jiroji injected too many demonizing potions, and his soul was polluted like a monster, so Makoto Kyushu was able to channel him.

Closer to home, after Makoto Kyushu came into contact with the dirty blood on Jiujing's face, his consciousness sank into the deep sea, and his eyes immediately went dark, and a series of revolving memories emerged...

18 years ago, a baby was abandoned in a bubble bath shop in Isezakicho, Yokohama.

Just when the store manager was about to abandon the baby on the street, he happened to be seen by an old man passing by.

The old man is the owner of a low-cost hotel in Shoumin Town. He is over half a century old but alone and has no children, so he decides to adopt the baby.

It is said that the ancestor of the old man was a folk painter who once painted for him because he worshiped the famous thief "Mouse Monk" in the late Edo period. This painting has been preserved as a family heirloom of the Jiui family.

It is precisely because of the inspiration of this painting that the old man named the baby "Jiroji", which is the real name of the rumored mouse monk.

Perhaps because he knew that his background was different, Hisai Jirokichi was very sensible since he was a child, and he was admitted to a local excellent high school all the way.

"Strive to be an excellent child in the mouth of adults" - this is his wish.

Kui Jiro Yoshimoto thought that he would inherit this hostel after graduating from high school, in order to repay the old man for his upbringing; or he could go to university, take the old man to leave this poor place, go to downtown Yokohama, go to Tokyo, and go to a more prosperous place place to enjoy.

Everything is just as the old man, the teacher, the neighbors, and other grown-ups expect.

But at this moment, their peaceful life was broken.

It was an elderly wealthy businessman—in a suit and leather shoes, with a mean mouth and a cannibal shrewdness in his eyes.

He calls himself an amateur collector and is currently collecting rare but valuable works of art.

And the reason why he came to visit such a place where the birds don't shit is also very clear, that is, to sell the Jiujing family's heirloom "The Mouse Monk".

The existence of this painting seems to have been spread by a homeless man who once lived here.It was obviously just an ordinary block painting, but it was passed on from ten to ten to hundreds of times by the mouth of the tramp with a broken mouth, and gradually became a "masterpiece hidden among the people".

The value of a work of art is often not determined by itself, but by how high people are willing to lift it.Naturally, the wealthy businessman saw this opportunity to hype and wanted to take the opportunity to buy this painting.

Hearing the rich businessman's request, old man Jiujing immediately refused.

"This is the treasure of our Jiujing family. You will not be allowed to take it away, nor will it be used as a tool to make money." The old man stared into the eyes of the wealthy businessman and said with certainty.

This was how the storm should have ended.But three months later, a theft occurred in the Jiujing Hotel.

Several homeless men broke into Jiujing's house in the name of accommodation and stole some belongings and the painting "The Rat Monk".

That day, when Jiroji Kui came home, he saw the old man sitting on a chair drinking with annoyed expression.It was the first time he saw this kind old man cry.

They called the police, but the police have been busy for a long time and failed to find the murderer-it might be better to say that they did nothing, and they didn't want to deal with such a thankless case at all.

The old man Jiujing is already old, and has been depressed since he was hit by this incident.Fell asleep on a recliner inside the house two weeks later and never woke up.

Not long after the old man passed away, Jiro Kichi Kui had just recovered from the funeral and grief, but he saw the painting "The Rat Monk" on TV again.

On TV, the wealthy businessman eagerly showed off to the media the painting he "bought" by accident recently, and decided to hold an art exhibition in the near future.

The reporters who interviewed him laughed flatteringly around him, repeatedly praising him as a "noble and elegant national entrepreneur".

Only in the Ukiyo-e style panel painting, the mouse monk's slender hanging eyes are staring at everyone ferociously, which is exactly the same as Kui Jirokichi's eyes in front of the TV.

However, after Kuijiroji went to the police station to report the case, he was told that the painting "The Rat Monk" belonged to the wealthy businessman himself, and all the certificates such as the transfer certificate and collection certification were available, and it was absolutely impossible to steal it.

Still unconvinced, he decided to go to the art exhibition to see what happened.

Sure enough, when he saw the painting up close, he was finally convinced that it was the heirloom painting that the old man would stand by the wall for 5 minutes every day and then smile knowingly.

Kui Jirokichi wanted to snatch the painting angrily, but was turned away by security personnel and sent to the police station. He was criticized and educated, and was almost notified to the school.

He has always lived with the goal of "responding to the expectations of adults".But from that day on, hatred and unwillingness took root in Jiujing's heart.

He became self-defeating, his studies and social life plummeted, and his life became chaotic.

Those grown-ups who greeted him with smiles and expected him without authorization, also began to frown at him, and even scolded him coldly, scolding him for being sorry for the old man's cultivation.

One day, as usual, he was fooling around in a gathering place for delinquent boys in Shoumin Town, but was stopped by an old man wrapped up tightly.

"Kui, I know about you. You don't have to be surprised, I just want to ask you, do you desire power?"

The old man handed him a purple potion and let out a mysterious hoarse laugh:
"No matter what enemies you have, or hate this society, this world is fine. Everything is caused by your lack of strength, right?"

Kui Jirokichi cast a glance at the old man, took the needle as if by accident, and inserted it into his body with the feeling of "it doesn't matter if he dies".

After one injection, Jiujing was immediately addicted to the drug—it was not the drug itself that was addictive, but the omnipotent power after the injection made him unable to stop.

At the same time, the idea of ​​"I want everyone to be invisible so that I can do whatever I want" sprouted in his heart, and finally awakened the ability of short-term invisibility.

He planned an arson case, gave the disgusting rich businessman the cruelest punishment, and took back the old man's cherished family heirloom.

And since the first case, he has never looked back.

While demonizing potions greatly strengthen the user, they will also gradually affect his sanity and expand his inner desires.

The old man who delivered the medicine reappeared and asked for a long-term deal with him.

"I will provide you with medicines at a low price for a long time, and I know someone at the police station, who can provide you with a lot of information." The old man took out a bundle of needle tubes from his coat pocket:
"You can do whatever you want and take revenge as much as you like. But as a reward, I want you to mess up Yokohama, and you'd better form a gang of thieves. How about it, this deal is a good deal, right?"

"Huh, that sounds pretty good~" Hisui Jirokichi's eyes, which had been dim for a long time, became brighter, as if seeing the hope of being alive again.

"Study hard, get into a good school, find a good job, and live an honest life. This is what adults have always expected of me."

"But even if we try our best to abide by the expectations of adults, there will only be tragedies in the end. After all, those expectations are set by rich adults, just to make people like us fish on their chopping boards."

"This world is rubbish. I won't play by the rules they gave me!"
