The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

He threw the metal wire in his hand to the ground, and then sat down on the ground, feeling somewhat powerless.

Even though revenge had reached its final stage, a sense of confusion arose in his heart once again.

He took out his pistol again, pondering whether to end his life now or to explain the mysterious organization to the police before leaving this world without any regrets.

However, just as he took out his pistol, a somewhat familiar voice appeared at the doorway of the room.

"Have you given up on your revenge against Ms. Okazaki?"

Sakata Yusuke's muscles instantly stiffened.

He stared blankly at Jiang Hang, who was standing at the door.

when?

When exactly did Jiang Hang appear there?

Wasn't the study door locked from the inside by Goji Sōtarō?

Why did Jiang Hang open the door to the room without him noticing anything?

Sakata Yusuke was somewhat astonished as he recalled what had just happened in his mind.

From the moment he arrived until now, he hadn't paid any attention to the direction of the door, as if that place had become a blind spot in his field of vision.

If Jiang Hang hadn't spoken up now, he probably wouldn't have been able to detect Jiang Hang's presence until now.

Chapter 388: Chapter 384: Choices Beyond Death

Jiang Hang was able to appear out of nowhere at the door of the room, which was naturally due to his ability to conceal his presence.

It has to be said that the ability to conceal one's presence is indeed quite useful. Apart from the fact that using this ability directly in front of others might make people question their existence, this ability has almost no other flaws.

Although Jiang Hang's aura concealment is currently only at the intermediate level, combined with his assassin's footwork, stealth skills, and disguise techniques, unless he makes no attempt to conceal himself from the start and walks right in front of someone, or unless the other person has exceptional intuition, he could simply stand quietly to the side and most people wouldn't be able to spot him.

Of course, while the ability to conceal one's presence is, in a sense, a supernatural power, it doesn't make someone completely invisible or disappear. It merely reduces one's own presence, making it less noticeable.

Of course, Jiang Hang didn't stand at the door the whole time and see everything that just happened. In fact, when he arrived at the village residence, he first looked around through the windows outside the house and then found the house where Sakata Yusuke and the others were.

After that, he kept using a listening device by the window outside the study to eavesdrop on the sounds inside.

The exact time was around the time when Goji Sotaro mentioned that "mysterious organization" wanted to recruit Sakata Yusuke.

It wasn't until Sakata Yusuke started to attack Goji Sotaro and then sat on the ground looking dejected, seemingly contemplating suicide, that Jiang Hang took advantage of Sakata Yusuke's inattention to sneak into the house and pry open the door.

Meanwhile, when Yusuke Sakata saw Jiang Hang appear in front of him, he was briefly shocked and instinctively picked up his pistol to aim at Jiang Hang, but he quickly realized what he was doing and pointed the pistol at his own head.

Looking at Jiang Hang, whose expression seemed completely natural and unsurprised, Sakata Yusuke gave a wry smile.

"As expected of the Special Advisor to the Metropolitan Police Department, the Hawkeye Detective of Tokyo, Mr. Jiang Hang. My original plan was completely disrupted because of your appearance. Judging from your current appearance, it seems that you already knew that I was the culprit in this case?"

Jiang Hang nodded slightly: "It's just some speculation. I may not have told you, but my observation skills are much better than the average person's. When I first met you this morning, I smelled a trace of blood on you. Later, when we went to Okazaki Sumie's house, when we mentioned the car accident 20 years ago, although you tried your best to hide your expression, I always felt that something was wrong."

"The real confirmation came from the photo we saw at the police station, which showed a resemblance to Tetsuji Inaba, who looked about five or six points like you. Then I had my assistant investigate Tetsuji Inaba's family situation back then, and sure enough, it led to you."

Yusuke Sakata sighed, "No wonder Heiji speaks so highly of you. If I had your observational skills, I probably would have found out the truth about my father's death long ago."

When the "truth" from back then was mentioned, Jiang Hang looked at Sumie Okazaki, who was still breathing behind Yusuke Sakata: "I was actually a little surprised that you didn't harm Ms. Okazaki."

Yusuke Sakata sighed. At this point, there was no point in hiding his feelings.

"After killing Goji Soutarō with my own hands, I felt that my desire for revenge had subsided. In fact, because of what Goji Soutarō said before he died, I realized that what Numabuchi Kiichirō told me might not be the whole truth."

"He told us that all six people in their training class were accomplices, but in reality, Okazaki and Nishiguchi only participated in the initial pliers of alcohol; they weren't directly involved in the later plans."

"Of course, that's not the main reason. I still hate her and don't feel guilty about killing Xikou."

"Because they knew what happened that night, but they still covered up for Goji Sotaro and Numabuchi Kiichiro, causing the Inaba family to suffer a 20-year injustice."

"To be honest, it's probably because she came here with me because of my identity as a police officer. If she hadn't come with me, I probably wouldn't have been able to meet this busy congressman by now."

As Yusuke Sakata said this, he even felt that his explanation sounded somewhat superfluous, so he shook his head again and continued with another statement that sounded more in line with his identity as a serial killer: "Besides, in the end, I only brought a small knife with me, and now it's already in Sōtarō Goji's chest, so even if I kill her, the final case can't be closed with the same method."

Jiang Hang remained silent. Regardless of whether Sakata Yusuke's actions stemmed from remorse after eliminating his greatest enemy, his lingering pride as a police officer, or his desire to avoid a disastrous ending in his final revenge, Okazaki Sumie was ultimately not killed by him.

He looked at Sakata Yusuke, who was pointing a gun at his head, and knew that the other man was now prepared to apologize to those who trusted him with his own death.

If Heiji Hattori were here, he would probably try to stop the other party from firing, and then make Yusuke Sakata remember his honor as a police officer, and let him face trial in court.

The final result is either the death penalty or a prison sentence of ten years.

But Jiang Hang is not that kind of person.

He knew that Sakata Yusuke's life was probably for revenge for his father, and now that the revenge had been achieved, Sakata Yusuke's life had lost its greatest meaning.

So instead of directly dissuading Sakata Yusuke, he suddenly told him about the mysterious criminal organization that Goji Sotaro had mentioned before his death.

He listened carefully from the side, and from various perspectives, he could basically confirm that the mysterious organization that Goji Sotaro mentioned before his death was the brewery.

"The criminal organization that Goji Sotaro mentioned before he died, I actually had quite a few dealings with that organization."

Hearing the shocked look on Sakata Yusuke's face, Jiang Hang continued, "Don't be so surprised. Goji Sotaro is right. It is indeed a powerful international criminal organization, even more unfathomable than Goji Sotaro described to you."

“The CIA and FBI in the United States, MI6 in Britain, the Federal Security Service of Russia, and even the Japanese Public Security Service have all sent their undercover agents to infiltrate this organization to investigate its secrets and purposes since its inception.”

As he listened to Jiang Hang's well-known intelligence organizations, Sakata Yusuke felt a strange sensation.

The man before him, Mr. Jiang Hang, an advisor to the Metropolitan Police Department who had helped the police solve numerous major cases, seemed somewhat different from what he had imagined.

From the moment the other party spoke until now, not a single word of rebuke or question has been uttered. They seem completely unconcerned about the news that he had killed four people in succession and imprisoned Numabuchi Kiichiro. They are now calmly discussing another criminal organization with him.

Just as Sakata Yusuke was rapidly thinking, Jiang Hang got to the point.

“Your revenge is over. I know you don’t want to be tried as a police officer and just want to end your life. But I actually have a third option for you. You can think about it carefully before those police officers arrive.”

Chapter 389: Chapter 385: Serving the Light, Cultivating the Darkness

Unlike Goji Sotaro, who speaks carelessly and whose words are completely unreliable.

When facing Goji Sotaro, Sakata Yusuke could simply ignore what he said and calmly kill him.

But Jiang Hang had no grudge against him, and as a special advisor certified by the Metropolitan Police Department, his reputation had already spread among the Japanese police.

Even Hattori Heiji, whom he had known for many years and who was always defiant, spoke with a sense of helplessness when mentioning Jiang Hang.

Even in this case, Heiji Hattori hasn't suspected him yet. Jiang Hang, who met him on the first day, noticed something was wrong with him the moment they met and was the first to rush here.

Such observational and reasoning abilities are absolutely among the best that Yusuke Sakata has ever met.

He felt that even Hattori Heiji's father, the Superintendent Hattori Heizo whom he respected immensely, did not seem to possess such meticulous observational skills.

More importantly, Jiang Hang is different from ordinary detectives.

Yusuke Sakata knew that if Heiji Hattori were here, he would definitely try to stop him from killing someone, and even if he arrived a step too late, he would do his best to persuade him to confess and turn himself in.

But Jiang Hang did not do it.

Since Jiang Hang knew about the mysterious organization that Goji Sotaro had mentioned before his death, it meant that he had personally witnessed Jiang Hang kill Goji Sotaro and only appeared quietly at the door of the room after Jiang Hang gave up on killing Okazaki Sumie.

Moreover, Jiang Hang didn't come to arrest him.

After briefly confirming his thoughts, Jiang Hang abruptly extended an invitation to him, seemingly wanting him to join the so-called international criminal organization as an undercover agent.

Even though Yusuke Sakata was prepared to risk his life, he couldn't help but hesitate when he heard Jiang Hang mention the third path.

After all, no one would want to die in their twenties, the prime of their life.

Yusuke Sakata is certainly no exception.

But Jiang Hang just said that the organization is being watched by all the world's major intelligence organizations. Even the world's top spies can't get any valuable intelligence from that organization. What makes him think he can infiltrate that organization and get useful intelligence from it?

Moreover, if that organization is truly so unfathomable, how did Jiang Hang, a detective, get involved with such an organization?

Or perhaps Jiang Hang himself harbors some unspeakable secret?

Faced with Sakata Yusuke's question, Jiang Hang pondered for a moment.

Then he quietly spoke of the part of Assassin's Creed that he remembered most vividly.

"When others are blindly pursuing the truth, remember: all is vanity."

"When others are bound by morality and law, remember: everything is permissible."

"We serve the light, yet we toil in the darkness."

"We have not left many names in history, but our presence continues to linger in the shadows of history."

Jiang Hang raised his right hand, and with a slight exertion, the sharp hidden blade pierced out from his wrist.

Yusuke Sakata knew that this consultant, Jiang Hang, had many strange and unusual qualities.

Besides this hidden blade, there's also the grappling hook device he demonstrated this afternoon, which allows him to climb dozens of meters high in just a dozen seconds.

He hadn't thought too much about it at first, but looking at Jiang Hang's current appearance, it seemed that these props might have some special meaning.

“If you want to know more, then follow me. This isn’t a good place to talk. If we stay any longer, someone might come looking for you,” Jiang Hang said, then sheathed his hidden sword and turned to walk out of the room.

If Yusuke Sakata hadn't followed, then it would have been as if nothing had happened.

Knowing Sakata Yusuke's personality, Jiang Hang knew he wouldn't reveal what he had just said.

Sakata Yusuke will be arrested by the police for murder. As for whether he will face the death penalty or a long prison sentence, that is not something Jiang Hang needs to care about.

But if Yusuke Sakata catches up, then this man who has lost everything in his quest for revenge will have the chance to start his life anew.

As Jiang Hang heard footsteps behind him, he knew that Sakata Yusuke had made his choice.

Does he want to continue living in this world?

Or perhaps he couldn't let go of the criminal organization Jiang Hang mentioned and decided to use the rest of his life to do something more meaningful for the world?

Or perhaps he was curious about the mysterious words Jiang Hang had just spoken, which made him feel a new world completely different from the past?

Jiang Hang didn't ask any questions, and Sakata Yusuke didn't speak either.

In the luxurious villa of Goji Sotaro, Jiang Hang, the famous detective in the eyes of the world, walked in front, while Sakata Yusuke, the serial killer, followed silently about two meters behind Jiang Hang.

Jiang Hang stopped walking when they reached the back wall of the villa.

He first took out a powder from his pocket, then added some water and turned around to apply it to Yusuke Sakata's face.

"This is a disguise tool, but it's only a basic one. It can only be used temporarily. If you can pass the test, I will design a new look for you."

Jiang Hang was quick. He took the pile of stuff that looked a bit like mud after being wet and casually smeared it on Sakata Yusuke's face a few times. Sakata Yusuke's face shape and features changed, and at first glance, he didn't look like a person at all.
