I, BOSS, just want to live a peaceful life

Chapter 216 "Out of Place"

【This chapter has been replaced】

Hearing the news that "Kisho Arima will not live for long", Kujo Josuke didn't say anything on the surface, but he was actually a little surprised.

It's surprising how well this information was concealed.

Kisho Arima's status in CCG is the idol of all ghoul investigators.This man bears the title of "the undefeated white god of death", and has always been a symbol of invincibility in the eyes of the public. No one will think about when he will die.

It's not the same as those heroes in the hero world before, Kujo Josuke thought.The absurdity is revealed everywhere in that world, and the hero is not so much a profession as a star, and in the eyes of the public, he also plays a major role in soothing people's hearts.But in this world, due to the concealment of the ghoul race, many people only know that "the Investigator is great" and "CCG is very powerful", but they don't pay much attention to the ghoul investigator itself.

The guardian's sacrifice has become a habit, and the protected people have long been indifferent.In the eyes of everyone, Arima Kisho is not so much a person, but rather he represents the image of a "powerful investigator". He himself is more like a symbol, rather than a flesh and blood person.

Moreover, 30 years old is still not a very old age for human beings, and no one has been bored to guess how old Arima Taka will be at this age.

"Are you surprised?" Kisho Arima finished speaking a piece of news that could cause great shock, but he himself remained calm.He reached out and picked up his glasses from the desk, and put them back on. A series of smooth movements made it impossible to guess that he was already half-blind.

"Yes, I'm really surprised." Kujo Josuke lowered his head, avoiding Arima Kisho's eyes, with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Besides, this news, why did Matt and others want to tell me?"

Arima Kisho put his hands on the desk and clasped them. "Before that, let me ask you a question."

Before Kujo Josuke nodded to respond, Kisho Arima asked directly: "What do you think of this world? How do you think about the relationship between ghouls and humans?"

To this world?To ghouls and humans?Kujo Josuke secretly raised his eyebrows. If his memory is not wrong, this question seems to be a similar question he had done in the psychological test before. At that time, he answered it from a completely neutral and objective third-party perspective. If you ask, the answer will definitely be the same.

To this world, Kujo Josuke is just a passer-by, and not necessarily a friendly guest.As for ghouls and humans, Kujo Josuke himself, a true ancestor, has no obsession with the race itself. Anyway, no race has anything to do with him. If you have to ask a conclusion, it just has nothing to do with me.

However, Kisho Arima probably didn't think so.

After all, he is a half-human, the son of a ghoul and a human. Kisho Arima should also think about issues on the side of the ghoul.Coupled with the complexity of race, human beings are both good and bad, let alone ghouls.Moreover, blind expulsion will only increase hatred and cause war. Kisho Arima, who has been killing countless ghouls, should also know this truth, so he is reflecting now?
It seems that although Arima Kisho feels cold, he is actually a moderate and neutral faction.

"Uh" Kujo Josuke hesitated for a few seconds, and finally chose to say an answer that fits his own personality and is close to Arima Kisho's thinking: "I feel that now that technology is so advanced, if ghouls and humans continue to fight There are no results. If the conflicts between races can be resolved, the world should develop in a more peaceful direction."

"Race." Kisho Arima repeated a word, and then said after a moment of silence: "The relationship between ghouls and humans is not as simple as race."

"However, let's stop here today, I already know your answer just now." Arima Kisho raised his hand and glanced at the watch on his wrist, it must have arrived at the time agreed before.He stood up and glanced at Kujo Josuke: "Come with me, first receive a guest, and then start the formal work."

After speaking, Arima Kisho took out a clean uniform from the closet and put it on. Without any extra actions, he walked out of the office with his Quinque.

Kujo Josuke silently followed behind him. Although he didn't know what the heart-to-heart chat with the boss was, but this chat was at least a lot of secret information.About half-humans, about Hexiu, about one-eyed ghouls, you can ask Asakami Tengno to look up relevant information in these directions, and it can be said that there are some gains.

Arima Kisho has a very good reputation in CCG. Many investigators met him along the way and greeted him with a smile, and sometimes even exchanged a few words of pleasantries, and Arima Kisho never got tired of responding with a smile.This made Kujo Josuke see how badly Arima Kisho had treated him before, but now that I think about it, Arima Kisho's indifference at that time was not aimed at "Kujo Josuke", but It is "Kujo Josuke" with the help of the Hexiu clan.

So. The object of disgust and disgust is the Hexiu family?
Kujo Josuke, who came to this conclusion, was a little puzzled.The Hexiu family is the well-deserved leaders of the CCG, and their reputation is not bad. They invented the weapon Kuink that allows humans to fight ghouls. They have been fighting ghouls on the front line for a long time. Not bad.

But when Kujo Josuke went to Hexiu's house before, he felt some big and small sense of disharmony, and coupled with Arima Kisho's unfriendly attitude, it seems that this Hexiu family is also somewhat secretive, and It's still a secret that will make investigators dissatisfied.

It didn't take long for Kujo Josuke and Arima Kisho to leave the CCG headquarters amidst the pleasantries of colleagues.Arima Kisho didn't explain the destination to Kujo Josuke, and as soon as he left the gate of the CCG headquarters, he became a lot more indifferent, and didn't say anything, just drove on the road with Kujo Josuke.Looking at the navigation directions on the car's electronic map, the two of them are going to pick up someone at the airport in Tokyo.

However, this indifferent attitude is different from the defensive indifference before. How to put it, Kujo Josuke sat in the co-pilot and observed Kisho Arima's expression from the corner of his eye.It's not so much indifference, it's better to say that it's a very tired state. Arima Kisho, who is driving the car, reveals a lazy tired feeling. If he doesn't speak, it's probably because he is too lazy to speak.

Think about it, Arima Kisho, a half-human in his 30s, is about the same as a normal human in his 70s. No matter what, he is about to die. This attitude is regarded as the Buddhist status of middle-aged and elderly people. It seems that there is nothing wrong with it. ?
Although it is said that driving in this state makes Kujo Josuke a little bit worried about driving safety, but looking at the destination getting closer and closer on the electronic map, Kujo Josuke still chooses more things than less things, silently waiting for Kisho Arima Drive to your destination.

"Here we are, depending on the time, it should be about the same." After arriving at the airport, Kisho Arima got out of the car and waited in a place where there were relatively few people. "The director asked me to receive a guest, an exchange person from Umbrella Company. After receiving them, there is nothing to do, and the specific reception can be left to other people in the headquarters."

So is it entertaining guests with Arima Kisho's face of "CCG is the undefeated god of death"?Kujo Josuke nodded, expressing his understanding, with a gentle smile on his face.

However, his brain keenly captured a word, Umbrella?Kujo Josuke is 100% sure that he heard correctly, this word is the Umbrella he is familiar with, the famous umbrella.

Lauriel Svendik, Albert Swick and, Veronica Ashford.These familiar people and faces appeared in Kujo Josuke's mind, making him frown inwardly.If he had no memory problems, it would be impossible for the Umbrella Corporation to appear in this world. This group of technological lunatics played in full swing in the benchmark world, so how could they come here.

Could it be that it is also a spiritual transfer?No, it's impossible, those guys don't have any talent related to magic at all, and they are all hardcore Scientology believers.But since this is the case, how did they come to this world, and they have managed to hide perfectly in the background of this world.
Kujo Josuke secretly raised his vigilance, and was full of caution towards the communication personnel sent by Umbrella Company.He didn't want anyone or anything to disturb his plan, if this Umbrella was an unstable factor in his plan, then Kujo Josuke would definitely make a move without mercy.

Even if the previous Rafael had a little relationship with this company, Kujo Josuke is just Kujo Josuke, and the memory of the past has nothing to do with the present, so he will not be merciful because of this.

Under Arima Kisho's silent silence and Kujo Josuke's cold gaze, the communication personnel sent from Umbrella Company finally appeared in this strange atmosphere.

It was the two girls who were talking and laughing. They didn't look very old. They dragged a suitcase and looked around when they got out of the airport.After a while, I saw Kisho Arima on the side of the road, so he smiled and walked this way.

Of the two girls, one looked to be in her 20s, like a college student who had just graduated, with green hair tied into a ponytail, revealing a delicate face.He is wearing a very simple coat and jeans, and his tall figure has a vigorous temperament. Although it is not surprising that he is wearing the common dress of many girls abroad, but if he is also dressed like this when he goes out, it seems that this Umbrella The girl in the company is probably a home girl.

The other one is even smaller in appearance. At first glance, it looks like she is only 16 or 17 years old. Her slender body feels a little weak, but the sunny smile on the girl's face makes her full of vitality.A head of long fiery red hair fluttered softly behind her head, her eyes were like the summer sky, and her delicate face was written with a picture-like vividness of a girl.

Seeing two people walking this way, Arima Kisho put away his tired demeanor, and returned to his working state.

He greeted the two visitors briefly in English, and then asked them in English if they understood Japanese.

"Japanese." The green-haired woman nodded and said seriously, "No problem."

"I can speak Japanese, I can speak Japanese!" The red-haired girl raised her hand actively, her face full of excitement: "I have learned it on purpose!"

Then, before anyone else could react, the girl walked over to Kujo Josuke, showing a sweet smile in a very familiar way.Her lake-blue eyes were crystal clear, and there were indescribable emotions flowing in them: "My name is Veronica, Veronica Ashford. What's your name?"

Kujo Josuke, who has been silent since the appearance of these two people, no matter what he thinks in his heart, he has done a good job on the surface.He looked at the girl named Veronica, who had the same beautiful face as he remembered, without any emotional fluctuations in his heart.

"My name is Kujo Josuke." He smiled, a standard etiquette smile, unaffected by the memories of the past. "Hello, Miss Ashford."

-

"Hey, Raphael." The blond-haired man walked over as if passing by, and glanced at the expression on his face as if casually: "I just went to the monitoring area in charge of BB and found that this peculiar There seems to be a problem."

"...What's the problem, this is not within our management scope." Raphael didn't look back, and said: "If you have time to go for a walk elsewhere, why don't you finish your work, Jiying."

Still working, what kind of crappy job is this, overtime is a daily routine, and even without salary, after all, as a social animal, Yoshikage Kira is used to it.But without holidays, this is really unbearable, okay?He was just waiting for the holiday to have a good date with his girlfriend!

Ever since I came to this broken place, I haven't had a vacation, and I can't change my girlfriend often. Yoshikage Kira feels like he has come to hell!Among the colleagues who work together, there is only one woman, and she is not his type at all, and he can't start with her! Yoshikage Kira feels that he has collected more nails these days than before!

This kind of life, if you can't make fun of your friends, it's not fun at all.

Yoshikage Kira didn't care at all when he heard Raphael's words. He and Raphael are in charge of the same area together, and they are the central core management.But generally no one will come here, and it is completely independent. It can be said that no one cares about it when it is too idle to sleep.

"The latest singularity of Josuke seems to have been invaded by the mysterious side." Yoshikage Kira said, with a normal face, but with a taste of gloating: "The strange thing is that those who seem to be from the science side, But the way of intrusion is mysterious."

"The person who went was from the Umbrella company, and she brought some [weapons] over there." Yoshikage Kira walked to Raphael, and dragged out an electronic board from the air, on which was the red-haired girl's A delicate face.

Yoshikage Kira continued, "She probably didn't come for the Holy Grail. By the way, I remember that Umbrella was always looking for Professor Mercury in the benchmark world."

Yoshikage Kira, why are you so mean.

Look at Raphael's eyes, they are completely red.

Yoshikage Kira: Just kidding, boss wave, can that be called wave?
　The replacement is complete!I still want to apologize to everyone!
