King of 25 Cubs

After Natsume Soseki left, I sat by the ancient well in the yard, lost in thought.

Actually my mind is a bit messed up.

"On the night I was born, Natsume Soseki really met me, and we even had a brief conversation at that time." I murmured.

The system didn't speak, and quietly listened to me organize my thoughts.

——"The first time I met you was when your mother was going to throw you away. It was raining heavily that day. After she threw you into the trash can, she suddenly stopped, and she seemed to have lost her soul. At that time, the whole world was full of anger. The field is a bit weird, as if something is intertwining and merging, except you and me, everything around, including the raindrops, freezes, as if a special force cut off time, and then you suddenly opened your mouth."

——"To be honest, I was quite surprised at the time. It was the first time I saw a newborn speak, and your goal was very clear. You were talking to me at the time. I was a cat in the corner , but you clearly recognized me."

——"You said your name was Maria, and you told me about the events of the two weeks. You said that your residual consciousness will soon fall asleep. I hope that I can be your future master, or help you find a master to guide you. Be a good person, and when you finish speaking, close your eyes as if you were asleep."

Natsume Soseki jokingly called this conversation "Tuogu", but I have an indescribable sense of urgency and crisis for the orphan I entrusted to myself.Because it means that the first week of "Maria" is sleeping in my body, and I will fall into a "out of control" state at any time.

That is to say, my human body is no longer under my control, and "Maria" who has been sleeping for many years and suddenly wakes up is likely to replace my consciousness.

I thought about it, and then asked him: "Is there a way for you to separate me from the identity of 'location key'?"

There is a high probability that the complete book will come to me after the world merges. This is actually a very dangerous thing. As long as Fyodor controls me, he can get the complete book.

"Theoretically speaking, as long as the content written on the 'book' is logical, it can be realized. I can try to shift the positioning of the 'book', and I happen to have the right candidate, a boy who can become a tiger. For the future Yokohama His role in the situation is important. But a successful transfer requires someone to stall for time, and blank pages to write on to carry out the plan."

"I can cooperate." I raised my head and looked at Natsume Soseki: "I will buy time, I will go to Russia as an undercover agent."

Mr. Natsume didn't answer for a while, his calm and deep eyes fell on me, and after a long time, he said in a serious tone: "This matter is not your responsibility, you can choose to do it or not."

I emphasized my tone: "I do."

"Then think about it, the devil will have a hard time trusting you, and you will be accused by thousands of people here, and you will go deep into the enemy's territory as a betrayer. You will not be trusted, there will be no assistance and online, and all action plans will be up to you Take control. This time, you may never come back.”

I tilted my head and smiled: "Isn't this what I've been doing all this time?"

In fact, I don't like to think about the past experience.

Those 50 years of undercover career, one after another, taught me not only various survival skills, but also to endure loneliness and understand others.

Loneliness is being unaccompanied, being an enemy, facing each other with swords and swords, the disappointment and hatred eyes of teachers and friends, the complete loss of sense of security, gradually starting to have less expectations for others, and no matter what kind of situation you are in. Can enjoy themselves.

I am not a person with a particularly strong sense of belief. If I can’t learn to have fun by myself, people will become crazy in such a high-pressure environment.

To understand others is to see through the two sides of human nature, to understand that no matter good or evil, people with different positions have their own difficulties, it is to begin to understand that no one will treat you well for no reason, and it is also when others don't like you that much, let the other person go. Live yourself.

Infamy has already been memorized countless times, and weakness and grievances have also been crushed by time. This time, it is just one of those numbers.

"When the time comes, I will testify for you, and the government will give you credit."

"I never do things for others or for the righteousness of the world. The world is not that important to me."

I put my hands in my pockets, and said in a flat tone, "I just want to fight for myself one last time. If I fight well, I can solve the root problem, retire completely, and be a salted fish; if I don't fight well, everything will return to zero."

Natsume Soseki: "Resetting to zero is impossible, the first week will not reset, I promise you."

I smiled and said nothing more.

……

There are still three days until the visit to Dmitriev.

During the three days of waiting, I found an excuse to hand over some of the company's affairs to Gao Sui Carambola.

After I left, in addition to professional managers to maintain the operation of the company, Gao Rui Group must also have a successor backbone.

Before, I taught Gao Sui Carambola a lot of things intentionally or unintentionally, and I even picked out meaningful cases for her to deal with, so that she could learn to deal with them, and she should be able to slowly provoke the leader.

In fact, this girl is quite smart and has a strong learning ability, but she is a bit reckless.After the death of the former head of Gaosui, she lost her childishness and grew up rapidly.

In fact, she also has an uncle who is the eldest son of the former head of the family. Although he is not very reliable, and he doesn't care much about the Gaosui family's property, he treats the juniors well.

When I first took over the position of Patriarch, he was afraid that I would bully Gao Sui Yangtao, so he proposed to pick her up. After being rejected by Yangtao, he called her every week to ask how she was doing. Later, seeing that she was doing well, he gradually rest assured.

【You still have an apprentice. 】

The system reminds me.

"Don't worry, I remember."

On Masaharu Nioh’s side, he already called me “Master”, and I didn’t take much care of him, so I typed out my disguise experience and lessons learned on the computer, and sent it directly to him in electronic form, so that he could learn more about it. Keep the questions first, and answer them later when you have time.

Odasaku's side is the most worry-free. There are so many talented people in Butei, so I don't need to worry about it.

As for the acquaintances of the military police and the Supernatural Secret Service... I guess I will be on their wanted list soon, so I should worry about myself.

【Are you scared? ] The system asked me.

I rolled my eyes.

"What's there to be afraid of? It's not like I haven't experienced similar situations before."

[Where is Dazai, what should he do? 】

I suddenly fell silent.

...I really haven't experienced his kind of situation.

"Let me write a timed email to Oda Tsukuru, he will receive it after I leave."

I squeezed my phone, buried my face in my knees, and said in a vague voice, "Compared to me, Odasaku might be more suitable to be his beacon."

As soon as I said this, I suddenly felt empty in my heart, as if I was in the wilderness with nowhere to rely on, with the wind blowing through my chest

Cold swish.

Thousands of people point at each other and are not trusted, so the swords face each other, and the family is lonely.

In fact, it is not without sadness, in fact, every time I will be reluctant.

Of course, only a little bit.

It is worth mentioning that I reached a consensus with Gogol and Sigma.

Gogol's nickname [joker is a pistachio] has been lying in the list of group members. After thinking about it, I felt that this person is not easy to control, and it is a bit dangerous to cooperate, but in the end I poked his profile picture.

【Yoga is a salted fish fruit: Gogol, are you there? 】

[joker is a pistachio: The doll finally took the initiative to contact me?Wow I'm so happy (*^▽^*)]

Before I could say the next sentence, Gogol’s reply came——

[Let me guess what the doll wants me to do. 】

[Are you going to cooperate to backstab A Tuo? 】

I:"……"

In fact, I have never quite understood why Gogol always secretly wanted to backstab Fyodor.

No, he didn't rub it in the dark, he was urging Maria to backstab Fyodor openly and aboveboard!

And not only did he want to sway Maria, but he also wanted to sway Sigma.

What kind of hatred is this?

【Joker is a pistachio: it is to prove the existence of free will. 】

[yogo is a salted fish fruit:? ? ? 】

Could it be that Gogol, like me, wanted to kill Fyodor because he was controlled by him?

But in my impression, Fyodor didn't control Gogol. On the contrary, he should be the one who had the most fun in Tianwuli. Fyodor couldn't stop him from going up to the sky and side by side with the sun.

[The joker is a pistachio: A Tuo, he can see through me at a glance.He is the only understander in my life, and also a close friend. 】

【Joker is a pistachio: So I thought, if we kill that best friend, we can be freed from the brainwashing of 'emotions'. Doesn't this prove that I am a free bird? 】

"..."

I tried my best to sort out the logic of his two sentences, and finally came to a conclusion——

[Yogo is a pistachio: kill your wife to preach? 】

Gogol didn't reply me for a long time.

After a long time, he sent a voice, I turned it on, and a series of sharp laughter came from the phone, which made my head buzz.

"Hahahaha doll, you are really interesting hahaha, I really like you hahahaha——"

I:"……"

You still don't like me anymore, I'm afraid you will kill me for the sake of preaching.

Fortunately, he didn't really want me to reply, but changed the topic——

[If you backstab A Tuo, you have to bring another person to play~]

Immediately afterwards, he formed a group and brought Sigma into the group. The group name was started by Gogol.

[The prettiest guy in the casino: That... the group name is too explicit, isn't it good? 】

I really want to complain now, what the hell is the most beautiful boy in the casino?The child is an honest child, but who gave him this nickname?

As if hearing my complaints in my heart, Gogol took the initiative to admit:

[joker is a pistachio: I changed this nickname for him, how about it, isn't it cool? 】

【The prettiest guy in the casino:...】

In order to make this handsome guy less embarrassing, I decided to change the subject: [yogo is a salted fish fruit: I also think the group name is a bit explicit. 】

So before we got down to business, we had a disagreement over the group name.

I thought about it: [yogo is a salted fish fruit: Fyodor is in Russia now? 】

[joker is a pistachio: yes~]

Immediately I had an idea, I poked open the group name and changed it to a few other words——

yogo is a salted fish fruit modification group named "Caring for Empty Nest Laotuo"
