Something's wrong with my roommate

Chapter 144 The Killers' Riot (5000 words)
Muroto City, Hot Spring Mountain.

When Qiu Gongyue stepped into the abandoned hot spring village, she was keenly aware that someone was spying on her.

She looked up and noticed a face hidden in the dense woods. It should be the killer who was on guard outside the branch to drive away irrelevant people.

The two sides looked at each other tens of meters away, and Qiu Gongyue vaguely felt the hostility in each other's eyes.

Qiu Gongyue didn't care, the hostility she felt recently was so numb.

When she was a child, Qiu Gongyue was also confused for a while, she had never made any mistakes, why did so many people hate herself.

When she grew up and gradually became sensible, she realized it.

Sometimes, other people's likes and dislikes towards you have nothing to do with what you do, but with your identity and position.

She didn't do anything, but she was a descendant of the Moon Clan, so she would be ostracized by the rest of the killers.

She obviously has been abstaining from voting, but the result is not in line with the wishes of Jin Yun Shinji and other Samsung killers, and she has become the public enemy of most killers.

After understanding this point, Qiu Gongyue no longer tries to explain anything, no longer tries to change others' views of herself.

There was even a thought in her mind that startled herself - get rid of all the people who are hostile to me, then no one will be hostile to me.

Entering the branch along the dark tunnel, Qiu Gongyue found that there were more killers in the branch than when he came last time.

These killers cast hostile eyes towards Qiu Gongyue as always.

Akimiya Tsuki ignored it completely and walked towards Arakawa Bunyasu's office.

"Come in!"

After knocking on the door, Arakawa Bunyasu's voice came from the office, Akimiya Tsuki pushed the door open and saw the branch manager sitting behind the desk.

When seeing Bunya Arakawa, Akimiya Tsuki was taken aback.

Arakawa Buntai is a very strong person with a resolute personality and a firm will. Although he is not young, he looks like the kind of boss who is not easy to mess with.

But now, Buntai Arakawa, who came into view, seemed to be ten years older, his brows were tightly wrinkled, and his eyes showed distress.

It's only been a few days since the last time we met, yet there has been such a big change.

Seeing Akimiya Tsuki come in, Bunyasu Arakawa's distressed expression eased a little, and he said, "Sit down."

Qiu Gongyue sat on the chair in front of the desk and couldn't help asking: "Instructor Arakawa, are you okay?"

She wasn't concerned about Arakawa Buntai's body, but wondered what kind of pressure he had endured to become this tired.

"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine."

Arakawa Buntai coughed before asking, "Have you contacted your son yet?"

Qiu Gongyue was stunned for a moment: "Who is the son?"

Arakawa Buntai said indifferently: "It was the young man whose killer code name was Dad. I changed his code name, and now he is called Son."

Qiu Gongyue: ...

Imagine Xu Cheng's expression when he heard this, Qiu Gongyue's mouth twitched slightly.

Wanted to laugh, but pinched my thigh and held back.



She took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, "I haven't seen him since the last mission to investigate the construction site together. Is there anything you can do with him?"

Bunya Arakawa stared into Akimiya Tsuki's eyes and asked, "You went to the Candle Hotel the night before yesterday, didn't you see him?"

Qiu Gongyue frowned slightly: "He also appeared the night before yesterday? I'm sorry, I wanted to take advantage of the chaos to get the eight-foot Qiong Gou jade, but because I couldn't find the whereabouts of the jade, I had to retreat."

Arakawa Wentai was noncommittal to Qiu Gongyue's words: "He appeared at the end, took away the eight-foot Qiong Gouyu, and his whereabouts were unknown. Now many people are looking for him, including our employer. Find someone and hand over Bachi Qiong Gouyu."

Qiu Gongyue was secretly surprised, what kind of employer was able to make such a condescending request to the deceased, and Arakawa Buntai seemed to be under great pressure.

Fortunately, Xu Cheng didn't come back with him, otherwise Buntai Arakawa would have ordered him to be captured.

She tentatively asked, "Did you ask me to come back to find his whereabouts?"

"No, someone else will do it."

Arakawa Buntai shook his head, and said to Qiu Gongyue: "Your task of finding Bachi Qiong Gouyu is temporarily over, and now I have another task for you."

Qiu Gongyue's straight body leaned forward slightly: "Please tell me."

Arakawa Buntai did not directly mention the mission, but asked: "When you came back, can you feel the difference in the atmosphere?"

Qiu Gongyue nodded slowly.

From the moment she entered the branch, she felt the abnormal atmosphere.

When she came back last time, she only felt the pure hostility of the killers towards her, but this time it was different, in addition to the hostility, there was also an undercurrent of turbulent feeling.

Obviously everything looks normal, but it reveals a false meaning, it seems that everyone is trying to pretend to be normal.

"The people below are very dissatisfied with me now, and they are even excited, thinking that I am too partial to the descendants of the founding family."

Arakawa Buntai leaned forward and put his hands crossed on the table: "Of course this is just a lie, just the instigation of ambitious people, but the people below are not willing to believe it, and the situation is already critical. They seem to be planning something."

Qiu Gongyue was taken aback, and three words instantly appeared in her mind-Xia Ke Shang.

She didn't expect that if she didn't come back for a while, the branch would become so serious that Bunyasu Arakawa could say that the situation was critical.

She couldn't help asking: "Aren't you going to take measures?"

Since there are signs of restlessness, it should be suppressed with thunderous means, why let it go?
Arakawa Bunyasu stretched out his hand, spread his five fingers, and made a metaphorical gesture: "The current situation is like a pot of boiling oil. What we need to do is turn off the fire to cool down, not pour water into it."

Qiu Gongyue admitted that Arakawa Buntai had some truth, but he was not convinced.

Since the oil temperature is not easy to control now, why not turn off the fire when it was heated at the beginning?
Qiu Gongyue didn't believe that Arakawa Buntai didn't notice it at first, she always felt that this person had been deliberately letting the situation expand.

Although there is no evidence, I am not a policeman who needs evidence. Sometimes suspicion is enough.

"Then how do you think you should turn off the fire and cool down?"

"This is the task I want to give you."

Buntai Arakawa's expression was serious: "The mission is limited to three days, so figure out what the people below are going to do."

Qiu Gongyue frowned slightly: "It's not suitable for me to entrust this task?"

She is now being hostile by most of the killers, even if there is no hostility, she is repelled. Asking her to figure out what this group of people are going to do is no less than letting sheep go into a pack of wolves to find out information.

"No, only you are suitable."

Arakawa Bunyasu insisted on his own opinion: "The entire branch can only find the correct answer if you are completely independent and have no relationship with the rest of the people."

It was obviously a compliment, but it sounded so wrong.

Seeing that Qiu Gongyue was still hesitating, Arakawa Buntai calmly said: "If you can't help me control the situation, do you think it will be easier for you to be in the branch?"

Qiu Gongyue's heart sank.

Although she always suspected that Arakawa Bunyasu had other purposes, at least Arakawa Bunyasu could stand on a fairer attitude and did not discriminate against or suppress her.

If it was replaced by a leader who favored other killers, Qiu Gongyue might have a way to defect.

For a killer, especially a killer who was brought up by the dead, there is no right to say 'I resign'.

"I understand."

Qiu Gongyue nodded, accepting this task.

The most important thing now is to prevent Arakawa Bunyasu from being forced to step down. The killer organization doesn't have the habit of being gentle, respectful and frugal. They are all a group of murderers and they don't reason with you at all.

If the lower levels want to overthrow the leadership, the only way is to seize power violently, killing all the upper levels or turning them into puppets.

In the long history, this kind of thing has happened in other branches of the dead. The lower-level killers rioted and slaughtered the upper-level by virtue of their superior numbers. In the end, the headquarters took great pains to calm the situation.

Qiu Gongyue did not expect that the Japanese branch would encounter this situation, which was not good news for her, because she was also forced to stand on the opposite side of the lower level, and could only choose to help Buntai Arakawa.

Of course, if the situation really develops to an irreversible moment, then she will not run much slower than others.

After leaving the office, Qiu Gongyue was on the way back to her room.

I ran into some killers on the road, they were whispering at first, but when I saw Qiu Gongyue passing by, I stopped and observed her with a strange look.

This kind of look is not only hostile, but also has other meanings in it, Qiu Gongyue couldn't figure out what it was for a while.

When she passed the hall, the dozens of killers who were talking inside subconsciously stopped.

The original buzzing sound suddenly became dead silent, and the killers were like a group of puppets whose eyes were fixed on people.

The whole hall was filled with a strange atmosphere, Qiu Gongyue passed through it, glanced back, and found that everyone was observing her with the same eyes.

At this moment, she suddenly understood that this was the hunter's eyes.

They are watching their prey, preparing for the kill.

Qiu Gongyue subconsciously quickened her pace and left. Instead of going back to her room, she left the branch directly, came to the nearby dense forest, and sent a text message to Ba Sijishui.

A few minutes later, Bashi Jishui sneaked over, his delicate face was full of tension and uneasiness.

"Sister Xinyue, you are back."

Seeing Qiu Gongyue, Basi Jishui seemed to see the backbone, and the uneasiness on his face eased a lot.

Qiu Gongyue nodded and asked, "Is there any result in your investigation?"

Yashi Jishui quickly said: "Yes, they are spreading some dissatisfaction with Minister Arakawa in private, and some family killers defended them, and then quarreled."

Qiu Gongyue frowned and said: "You first tell me carefully what happened during my absence."

Basi Jishui still had a lot to say, but seeing Qiu Gongyue's request, he had no choice but to start from the beginning.

The cause of the incident was about half a month ago. A three-star killer and a family killer had a dispute when they were competing for a certain task. The two sides fought each other, and each was injured.

The matter came to Arakawa Buntai, but Arakawa Buntai punished the three-star killer, and then handed over the task to the family killer.

The killers of ordinary background were very dissatisfied with the family killers, and Arakawa Bunyasu's favoritism suddenly angered them.

Many three-star killers went to Arakawa Buntai to ask for an explanation, but Arakawa Buntai not only failed to explain, but instead severely punished these leading killers.

This kind of behavior of his completely angered all the ordinary-born killers, and the atmosphere of the whole branch suddenly became weird.

The killers began to join forces in private, and their dissatisfaction with Arakawa Buntai became more and more serious, but Arakawa Buntai did nothing.

After listening to Yashi Yoshimizu's narration, Akimiya Tsuki can be completely sure that Arakawa Bunyasu is deliberately letting the situation get out of control.

What is he going to do?
Qiu Gongyue couldn't figure it out, and for a while, she had the idea of ​​'I'm quitting, you go play with your own eggs, I'm slipping away'.

But if she really runs away now, the defector's hat will be taken off immediately.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, Qiu Gongyue is absolutely unwilling to embark on the same path as her grandfather.

She asked Bashi Jishui: "Do you know what they plan to do recently?"

"I do not know."

Ba Sijishui shook his head, and said, "But they have a private party tonight, and I plan to attend to see what they want to talk about."

Qiu Gongyue nodded: "If you are in danger, remember to protect yourself."

Basi Jishui smiled: "Don't worry, Sister Xinyue, among other things, I am definitely first-class in running."

The two separated, and Qiu Gongyue returned to her room.

She had a hunch that within three days at the most, these killers who were colluding in private would make a big move.

The aroused anger will not disappear out of thin air, but will intensify in repression.

The reason for this dissatisfaction with Arakawa Buntai is not just the recent events, but also traces back to the conflict between ordinary killers and family killers.

When Jin Yun Shinji planned to become a candidate but was rejected, the contradictions had already begun to accelerate and accumulate.

Jin Yun Shinji was rejected, and the abstention vote cast by Qiu Gongyue was regarded as the direct cause, but many killers believed that this was the suppression of Jin Yun Shinji, a killer of ordinary background, by the upper echelons of the branch.

Don't forget, although Qiu Gongyue was rejected by many people because of the Moon Clan, she was also a family killer.

Before and after the annual gathering, Buntai Arakawa kept making some partial behaviors. For example, Xu Cheng beat Takeshi Iwata into a vegetable, but he was only fined a little point. For example, Akimiya Tsuki killed a poisonous snake and a stinging bee. Promoted to three stars.

Of course the truth is not the case, but in the eyes of ordinary killers, Buntai Arakawa is undoubtedly suppressing ordinary killers like them fiercely.

His actions are accelerating the dissatisfaction of the killers and accelerating the accumulation of conflicts.

Until the recent fight between the three-star killer and the family killer, Arakawa Wentai's partiality as always, finally intensified the conflict completely.

If the killers really rioted, Buntai Arakawa would undoubtedly bear the brunt, and the family killers, including Akimiya Tsuki, would also be affected.

If she wants to figure out the actions of those ordinary killers, Qiu Gongyue realizes that she can't do it alone, she must unite the other family killers.

But the killers of the family are also very repulsive to her, and there are not many like Basi Jishui who don't care about her identity.

Qiu Gongyue stayed in the room until night fell, and then went out quietly, planning to find some old friends from her childhood to find out about the situation.

At the same time, Bashi Jishui also left the branch with several killers, preparing to participate in the private gathering of the killers.

Several people quietly left the branch, entered the hot spring mountain, and followed the road signs left by the other killers to the meeting place.

Along the way, Bashi Jishui listened to the few people around him complaining about their dissatisfaction with Arakawa Bunyasu and Akimiya Tsuki, and there was no lack of malice in their words to kill them, which made Bashi Jishui frightened.

Several people came to a hidden cave. Inside the cave was a very wide space, which was brightly lit by dozens of torches. Nearly [-] people gathered here.

Basi Jishui felt his blood coagulate all over his body just by looking at it, and his whole heart sank suddenly.

Isn't there only a dozen people attending tonight's party?
Why is almost the entire division of killers coming?

These killers are clearly performing missions all over Japan, why did they return to the branch quietly and gather in this cave?

Basi Jishui had a premonition that something was wrong, and subconsciously wanted to run back, but when he turned around, he found that the entrance of the cave had been tightly guarded by several killers.

"Hachiro, where are you going?"

A killer blocked Ba Sijishui's way with a cold face.

Basi Jishui tremblingly said: "I suddenly remembered something, I have to hurry back."

"Don't worry, wait a while before leaving."

Basi Jishui, who wanted to leave, was blocked back. When he turned around, he found that there were many family killers like him in the cave, all of them were panic-stricken, and they were probably tricked into coming here without knowing it. .

"Everything is quiet, people are coming."

I don't know who shouted, attracting the killers' attention.

A group of people appeared on a huge stone, overlooking all the killers from a high position.

The leader is Shinji Tsukumo, followed by Hoshizaki Yukina, and almost all the three-star killers in the branch.

"Everyone!"

As soon as Jin Yun Shinji spoke, the killers subconsciously kept quiet and looked up at him.

"Everyone knows the purpose of tonight's gathering, and there is only one reason for me to come here."

Shinji Tsugumo held up a finger and looked around: "It is to lead you to overthrow Buntai Arakawa, who discriminates and suppresses us, and the three major families who are high above us and have been bullying and ruling us. I just want to ask, how can they what?"

"Why!"

"Why!"

The entire cave immediately erupted into violent cheers and applause, and the sound waves were deafening.

But this place is inside the cave, far away from the branch, so he is not afraid of being discovered at all.

In the crowd, Basi Jishui and several other killers from the three major families trembled.

……

"thorns!"

In the branch, Qiu Gongyue stopped a tall woman.

The other party looked back at Qiu Gongyue, a little surprised: "It's the first time you've greeted me proactively in so many years, are you going to run away too?"

"Run away?"

Qiu Gongyue frowned slightly, only to realize that the other party was indeed ready to go out: "Where are you going?"

"It seems that you don't know anything, and that's right. After all, you've been outside all the time. It's normal not to know."

Thorn kept walking, and continued to walk outside: "Those crazy guys have sneaked back from outside, and they are about to make a big deal. Why don't I run and stay and wait for death?"
