Chapter 496: Visiting the Doctor

Carl found no righteous deeds.

The perspective now is very strange.

Yi Xing can look up and see him, but he can't see Yi Xing when he looks down.

This made Yoshiyuki deeply understand how difficult a profession it is to become an assassin.

...Of course, the same goes for ninjas. Asakura must know a lot of assassination techniques.

However, she is not an adult yet. Therefore, the Black Feather Organization has not assigned her any assassination targets for training.

Generally speaking, this task is not difficult. After all, this is the first time.

The first time someone kills someone, there is usually a psychological burden. If this is not killing the opponent in legitimate defense, the impact will be more serious.

Yoshiyuki wasn't quite sure why he didn't have any psychological pressure on killing people.

It's as if doing this kind of thing has long been familiar, as accustomed as eating and drinking.

To say that this is due to the training of the master does not seem quite right.

Kazuhiro didn't teach him this.

On the contrary, the master told him that killing someone is a very heavy thing.

As the guardian of the underworld shrine maiden, sooner or later there may come a time when I have to take the lives of others in order to fulfill my duty.

Then you must take action, without hesitation. You need to be mentally prepared from an early age.

But we must not be indifferent or indifferent about killing people. Every life is worthy of respect, especially human life.

The saying that human life matters is not empty talk.

And this human life is also a concept. Never interpret it narrowly as human life. Any race with advanced intelligence and whose entire race is not inherently evil will have their lives counted as human lives.

But people all have special feelings towards their own race.

Therefore, even humans who are indifferent to their fellow humans will feel pain when they want to kill other humans - unless the person has a cruel and twisted personality, or has long been accustomed to it.

...Yoshiyuki felt a little uneasy when he thought of this.

He considers himself not a cold-blooded person.

Therefore, Yoshiyuki thought that after killing the man just now, his heart would be a little shaken.

It’s not that you should regret or blame yourself. He didn't feel like he should feel any guilt either.

Rather, there should always be a touch of biological instinct.

But there is absolutely no righteousness.

He couldn't understand what it meant to actually kill a human being.

Thinking about it carefully, killing a person seems to him to be similar to killing a rabbit.

The difference is that rabbits are very cute and innocent, and they don't have so much malice towards their own kind.

However, human beings' malice towards their own kind has no bottom line.

He felt sorry and pitied the rabbits that were killed for meat. But I won’t feel like I’m doing something wrong. After all, that's the way nature works. He does what any other predator does, except that rabbits are more unlucky.

But when he killed the man just now, he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong at all, and he had no sympathy at all. The fluctuation in his heart was not even as big as hunting a rabbit or trampling on an ant.

Yoshiyuki hoped that someone with white hair and red eyes wearing cat ears, a tail, and cat paw socks could talk to her about how he felt.

It would be best if she could step on her and talk at the same time. He was willing to pay 5 yen per minute for paid consultation.

He was afraid that something was wrong with him, that some part of his heart had been distorted.

Do ordinary people feel the same way as me when encountering this kind of situation?

Is there something wrong with my ability to empathize?

…

No, there shouldn't be, right?

Would I still feel bad if I saw someone dying on the roadside?

Whether it's moral decay or lack of humanity, it should have nothing to do with me, right?

After all, how can someone who likes being stepped on by young ladies be a bad person?

Yoshiyuki looked up at Karl who was watching the fire endlessly. While he was worried that someone would find him hanging under the window for a long time, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

He couldn't describe clearly what he felt like.

But all in all, Yi Xing can be sure of one thing - this is not a random thought caused by being too tired to hang the windows.

If it was just for assassination, then the current situation would definitely make people happy.

He could easily grab Karl's feet, pull him off balance, and easily drop him high into the air.

Yoshiyuki could even see the words above this person's head: "Press the square to assassinate."

He really wanted to do this.

Is there any reason not to kill the mastermind who intended to trick him into becoming a tribute?

After a few minutes, Carl finally had enough and turned back to the house.

Yi Xing's arms were so tired from hanging that his eyes suddenly lit up when he saw this. He immediately pulled himself up the window sill and slowly approached Karl from behind.

...But the guy suddenly turned around.

Yoshiyuki guessed that he probably remembered that the window was not closed and wanted to go back and close it.

Therefore, when he saw Yoshiyuki Maekawa suddenly appearing in front of him, this guy was naturally shocked.

"Miss Maekawa?!" Karl immediately pretended to be calm and took a step back: "You... came in through the window? You're scared to death! Are you trying to surprise me?"

"you guess?"

Yoshiyuki had no choice but to adapt to the situation, his face darkened, and he directly entered into a face-to-face confrontation plan.

...But he had no intention of letting this guy really guess.

Yi Xing had an idea and suddenly felt that with the information he had, he had a chance to defraud the other party.

It is impossible for a guy as weak as Karl to be the favorite of the goddess of the underworld.

At most, he is just a senior believer who donates a lot of money to the sect. The core secrets of the sect are not accessible at all.

...But he probably still knows the real name of the goddess of the underworld.

Therefore, you cannot give the initiative of the conversation to the other party at this time.

It's up to him to advance the conversation and steer the topic in the direction he wants.

With this idea in mind, Yoshiyuki quickly picked up the topic and told a lie to test Karl and verify his guess.

"Karl, stop covering up! I received a secret letter, which contained a lot of inside information...I'll keep it short! The higher ups suspect you of being unfaithful to our goddess of the underworld, Izanami. We need to set a trap and Get rid of it!"

"You...what did you say?" Karl was stunned for a moment, and his face became extremely ugly: "Are you really a believer of the Goddess of the Underworld? How is it possible... No, but you know her real name... Even I did it some time ago Only those who are qualified to know..."

"Ha." Yi Xing didn't comment, just smiled and continued coldly: "This matter is urgent, so I'll keep it short - the higher-ups think you are useless, so I'll give you this task and let you use it. Candle set up a sacrificial circle to trick me into becoming a sacrifice."

Yoshiyuki: "Actually, they designated me not to be affected by your magic circle breaking! As soon as the magic circle unfolds, I will realize that you are also a member of the sect, so I will report the matter or personally pursue the responsibility. When the time comes when the higher-ups don’t recognize that it’s their assigned mission, they can get rid of you all on the grounds of ‘framing fellow members of the sect’!”

When Karl heard this, his face turned pale.

At the same time, in Clock Town, Eunice was packing the medical kit and preparing to treat patients who looked equally bad.
