The Moon Clan is said to be a branch of Moon believers from across the ocean. They came to Japan with the Black Ship and took root. Finally, together with three local families, they jointly founded the branch of the Giver of the Dead.
These four families have a prominent status among the deceased. They have served as advisory elders for generations, have voting rights, and can express opinions on important matters.
This continued for hundreds of years, and time came to the eighth clan leader of the Moon Clan, whose killer codename was Tsukuyomi.
Tsukuyomi is the name of the Japanese moon god, the god in charge of the night. The killer who dares to use Tsukuyomi as his code name is either an arrogant fanatic or a confident genius.
But Tsukuyomi is indeed a rare genius in the Moon Clan. He practiced the breathing method to the fourth level in less than a year. When he went to the headquarters for training, he even became famous. He made great achievements many times and finally skipped the post of branch chief. , was left to serve at the headquarters.
If nothing unexpected happens, Tsukuyomi will likely become the most prominent figure in the Moon Clan in a century, a legendary killer, and even be given the title of Assassin.
Tsukuyomi has been working diligently among the deceased for decades, and he has indeed fulfilled the expectations of those around him.
But all this has been changed by the Assassin inheritance.
The Giver of the Dead believes in the Shadow Goddess. This killer organization has existed for a long time before historical records were recorded. Legend has it that the Shadow Goddess gave the first generation of assassins a powerful divine power, which was passed down through the generations of assassins and gradually became a legacy.
This inheritance was lost in a certain era, and the deceased has always wanted to find it back.
Just when Tsukuyomi was about to assume the post of general director of the headquarters, he learned of the whereabouts of the Assassin's inheritance, so he personally went out and led people to find it.
A few months later, a surviving assassin escaped and claimed that they had successfully found the lost assassin inheritance, but Tsukuyomi killed his colleagues in order to monopolize the inheritance.
The whole group of people who gave the dead simply didn't believe that Tsukuyomi, who had worked hard for decades without making any mistakes, would do such a thing.
However, more assassins went to recover the Assassin inheritance, but they were all killed by Tsukuyomi. He even announced that he would create a new assassin organization, which made the Death God realize that he was truly a traitor.
The former glory turned into shame. The Moon Clan could not accept this gap. The new clan leader came out with all the young people in the clan, trying to capture Tsukuyomi. However, he was gone forever and the youth of the entire Moon Clan came out. Zhuangdu died in Tsukuyomi's hands.
But soon there was another news that was unknown to be true or false. The Moon Clan was not destroyed, but the entire clan rebelled, abandoning the old, weak, women and children and defecting to Tsukuyomi.
The latter news is more in line with the conspiracy theory and is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. When it dominates the mainstream of public opinion, the Moon Clan gradually becomes a shame. It is the only clan in the long history of the Dead to defect.
The enemies Tsukuyomi once offended also waited for the opportunity and began to assassinate the remaining old, weak, women and children of the Tsukiyomi clan.
In the end, when only Qiu Gongyue was left as a child, someone among the deceased finally came to protect her, allowing her to survive and grow up successfully.
Qiu Gongyue never mentioned her family's affairs to others, and hated it when others mentioned it, but when she told Xu Cheng about it, she didn't have much resistance.
After listening to her story, Xu Cheng showed a stunned expression: "So, your real name is not actually Xinyue, but Uchiha Erzhu, right?"
Akimiya glared at him: "Then you are Uzumaki Naruto?"
What I'm talking about is sad, why are you still in the mood to joke?
"Haha, I'm sorry, I can only make spicy sengen, not Rasengan, so I'm not Uzumaki Naruto."
However, Qiu Gongyue's life experience is indeed very similar to that of Er Zhuzhu. When he was a child, his family suffered a shocking incident and was massacred. The main murderer was his closest relative.
No wonder he developed the same cold-faced character as Erzhuzi, but Akimiya Yue is still a bit miserable. Although Erzhuzhu's entire family died, it didn't become a shame. There are still a group of nymphos surrounding him in Konoha Village. change.
And Qiu Gongyue not only has to live with a shameful name, but everyone around her avoids her.
It’s not easy to grow this big without turning black.
Xu Cheng thought thoughtfully and said: "According to the development of the Hokage, your grandfather killed your whole family. Isn't it for your own good?"
Qiu Gongyue raised her slender eyebrows: "Then can I kill your whole family in the name of doing your best?"
Xu Cheng spread his hands indifferently: "You don't have to do anything, my whole family passed away peacefully long ago."
Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to Japan.
Hearing what he said, Qiu Gongyue felt some sympathy for some reason. After all, both of them were awarded the title of orphan.
However, Xu Cheng felt that Qiu Gongyue's whole person seemed to have become more lively, her expressions and words had also changed, and she was not as cold as a stone at first.
"Hey, you two."
A staff member appeared in the auditorium and shouted to the two of them: "Minister Arakawa is looking for you. Come over quickly."
Xu Cheng and Qiu Gongyue looked at each other, wondering whether they were settling scores about the vote just now.
The two came to Arakawa Buntais' office with doubts. As soon as they entered, Arakawa Buntais raised his head and said to Akimiya Yue: "Whether it is tonight or future election meetings, it is your right to vote how you want, don't worry. If anyone dares to trouble you about other people’s emotions, just tell me.”
Qiu Gongyue just nodded lightly, showing no emotion.
If Arakawa Buntais really thought so, why didn't he say it in public at the meeting?
She couldn't help but glance at Xu Cheng. Most of the hatred caused by the vote was diverted away by Xu Cheng's coquettish tricks.
Now I have to worry about whether those killers will cause trouble for Xu Cheng.
Arakawa Buntais said nothing about what Xu Cheng did in the auditorium, but said directly to the two of them: "There is a task for you. There is a piece of land on the east side of Hongfukuji Temple in Sumida District, Tokyo, which has been The government has cordoned off a construction site, and you go and investigate to find out what is in that construction site and what they are doing. This is a B-level mission."
Xu Cheng and Qiu Gongyue were surprised, but they suppressed their subtle expressions.
In front of a legendary killer like Arakawa Buntais, any subtle expression may be detected by him.
It's just that what's on that land is not only the concern of the government, but now even the killer has to get involved.
Arakawa Buntai said to Xu Cheng again: "You have reached the third level of breathing skills, and you should be promoted to a three-star killer. However, you have completed too few tasks. You must first complete a few B-level tasks to be convincing."
Of course Xu Cheng said he had no objection. He mainly only did the task of being a manager and didn't care about the task of giving death at all.
Arakawa Buntais was a resolute person. After giving the instructions, he signaled that the two of them could leave.
Before leaving the office, Akimiya Yue turned around and asked: "Instructor Arakawa, I have been unable to contact Rika. Is she on some mission?"
Rika Ito is Akimiya Yue's best friend, and she has been unable to contact her for a long time.
Arakawa Buntai thought for a moment and nodded: "Yes, she is going to perform a confidential mission and will probably not be able to contact the outside world for a long time."
This blocked Qiu Gongyue's excuse to continue asking.
She took a deep look at Arakawa Buntais who was in working mode, said goodbye and left.
After leaving the office, while there was no one around, Qiu Gongyue whispered to Xu Cheng: "Be careful when you go back, Shinji Jinyun won't let it go. Besides, I will send it to you when those things are sorted out."
In addition to the three-level breathing techniques and more than a dozen secret techniques, the things Yunniao stole from the warehouse also contained a large amount of information and other scattered contents. Qiu Gongyue could only first sort out the facts about the two people. Stage useful stuff.
Of course Xu Cheng had no problem. After going through the hot spring mountain and the recommendation meeting, the mutual trust between the two reached a new level.
Compared to other killers, a small circle of only two people has been formed.
Before parting, Qiu Gongyue suddenly asked: "By the way, I never asked, what is your killer codename?"
Xu Cheng opened his mouth and realized that he had a problem with this code name. He couldn't answer when others asked him.
Fortunately, this question didn't bother him. He took out his mobile phone and typed, then held it up to show Qiu Gongyue: "My code name is this."
Qiu Gongyue glanced: "Dad?"
Xu Cheng responded: "Hey, don't call the wrong person."
What the fuck...
A cross suddenly appeared on Qiugong Yue's forehead. She raised her foot and kicked Xu Cheng, but Xu Cheng had already run away.
…
After waiting for Xu Cheng and Akimiya Yue to leave the office, Arakawa Buntais took out a document and used a pen to cross out several names on it, including Ito Rika.
"Dudu..."
The phone suddenly rang. He took it over and looked at it, frowning slightly, but still chose to answer it.
An old voice sounded through the phone: "Mr. Arakawa, I'm sorry to bother you, haven't you thought about what we discussed last time?"
Arakawa Buntai said calmly: "I have to figure out what is under that piece of land before I can make a decision."
"Mr. Arakawa, the information we gave you is already very accurate. If that place falls into the hands of the government, it will definitely be taken away by the Americans in the end. The fate of Japan is in our hands. Can you bear it?"
"I'm just a killer. I don't have such a big picture. Helping you assassinate people with abilities has already caused the government's dissatisfaction."
"Anyway, you should make a decision as soon as possible. Time waits for no one."
…
In a Japanese-style courtyard, two old men in their sixties were playing chess.
One of the old men put down the phone and sneered: "The killer is indeed a despicable person who cannot stand on the stage. He hesitates and misses opportunities."
Another old man said calmly: "Didn't we find another partner? Even without him joining, we can still achieve our goal in the end."
"That's right."
The old man picked up a chess piece and pressed it heavily on the chessboard: "Even if the things of our Japanese Empire are destroyed, they must not be handed over to foreigners."
