I am the devil, I only know how to trade.

No country wants such a group of dangerous individuals to move freely within Japan, especially high-ranking officials who value their lives.

However, no matter how they investigated, the blame always fell on the political enemies of the person in charge of the experiment, because only he had the motive!

Because a student wanted to rebel, he persuaded a waiter at an izakaya (Japanese pub) to make a deal with the devil, and then the two of them conspired to wipe out dozens of elite soldiers? This kind of plot could only happen in a novel!

Therefore, no matter how they investigate, that person is destined to take the blame.

There's really nothing of value in this school; someone else wouldn't have the motivation to do it!

But these kinds of things require evidence. If you can't produce evidence, the matter can only be hastily concluded.

The political enemies of the person in charge were also completely bewildered. From beginning to end, he was definitely the most wronged one. He had been hinted at by his colleagues so much that he himself began to suspect that some of his subordinates had mistakenly thought they understood his orders and had found some people outside to wreck the school.

Therefore, when others test him, he responds with a mysterious smile, as if he really ordered it.

Once the investigation reaches this point, the case can basically be closed, and Akabane Karma's objective will be achieved.

The reason their organization is thriving in Japan is precisely because these capitalists are not united, are at odds with each other, and are suspicious of one another; it wouldn't be surprising if one of them wiped out the other.

Those big shots are all high and mighty, how could they possibly think about the reasons behind their actions, which seem so ridiculous?

After all, in their eyes, the lives of these ordinary people are not lives at all, but just a series of numbers.

The official announcement has been released, but is that the end of the matter?

not at all.

What are netizens? Even someone dressed in black, holding a black umbrella, attending a funeral from afar can conjure up a forty-episode TV series in their mind.

There was nothing wrong at first, but as long as they use conspiracy theories, they can make everything seem suspicious, turning every detail into something terrifying upon closer inspection.

Especially since the news wasn't kept under wraps at first, and the purpose and process of the experiment were made public, netizens became even more certain that there was a conspiracy involved, a huge conspiracy!

However, the official explanation is that this was the personal behavior of Akira Takaoka. He had previously posted videos of himself abusing students. When these videos were released, some netizens were drawn to them and felt that this was somewhat reasonable. They then demanded that Akira Takaoka's protectors be severely punished.

In this matter, a seemingly high-ranking scapegoat will naturally be brought out, and a seemingly severe punishment will be imposed to show the public that their anger has been vented, and the matter will be over.

Although some netizens may still be dissatisfied, the overwhelming amount of gossip and the fact that netizens don't have long memories will quickly shift everyone's attention to other things.

For example, the mental health issues of those children, how did that protective umbrella work, which voice actor got married, whether the newly elected politician supports anime, and why Togashi has resumed updating...

Rhythm is such a convenient thing to create.

A trending topic might be incredibly popular one day, but three days later, no one might remember discussing it.

In less than a week, the matter was considered closed.

Whether such experiments will happen again in the future is not something ordinary people can concern themselves with.

They will know what the government tells them to know, and they will not know what the government tells them not to know.

…………

Luo Feng's Izakaya.

"cheers!"

Akabane Karma, Chiba Ryunosuke, Hayami Rinka, Shiota Nagisa, and Yukino are having a victory celebration party.

As Akabane Karma has already introduced, Chiba Ryunosuke is the male sniper who appeared that day, a member of the organization, and skilled in pinpoint shooting.

Hayami Rinka, his wife, is skilled at shooting moving targets; both of them are shooting prodigies.

Nagisa Shiota's public identity is that of a university teacher, and his actual identity... is also that of a university teacher.

However, he was the most prized disciple of the top assassin, Death God. He had defeated Akira Takaoka in high school. Akira Takaoka was from the Special Service Department of the Ministry of Defense. The fact that he could be defeated by a junior high school student shows just how much potential he had back then.

If he had focused all his energy on assassination, he would probably be the most terrifying killer in the world.

Unless there is a special event, they wouldn't deploy such a powerful weapon as Nagisa Shiota.

The success of Akabane Karma and his group's operation was not solely due to the efforts of a few individuals within the school. Nagisa Shiota's perfectly timed assassination of Takaoka Akira and the control of the internet were also crucial factors; none of these could have been omitted.

"Mr. Shiota, thank you so much this time." Yukino looked at Nagisa Shiota and thought that he was unremarkable in appearance. Judging from his appearance alone, he even seemed easy to bully.

But after using his power, Yukino knew that this person was definitely not as simple as he seemed.

In a direct confrontation, he is no match for Akabane Karma, but he is a true shadow assassin.

If Akabane Karma is more skilled at unparalleled skill than assassination, then he is exactly what an assassin should be.

“It’s what I should do.” Nagisa Shiota couldn’t help but sigh. “I never expected it to be him. I was really shocked when I found out. Wasn’t he already arrested back then…”

"As long as he's useful, we can release him even if we arrest him," Akabane Karma said calmly. "There are plenty of cases like this."

"Let's not talk about that. This izakaya is decorated quite nicely." Nagisa Shiota glanced around the room. "Hmm, I don't know why, but the owner and the staff here always give me a very friendly feeling."

The boss standing backstage was not Luo Feng, but a seemingly ordinary-looking man with glasses.

The cleaning staff here are the kind you'd hardly find on the street.

The two looked at them with very gentle expressions, as if they were looking at their own grown-up children.

Chapter 201 Reunion of Master and Disciple

"You all seem to have quite different professions," the bespectacled man said, carrying the food the group had ordered. He approached them and set down the plates.

"You can even tell that?" Akabane Karma asked with interest.

"You see a lot of people when you run a shop," the bespectacled man explained.

“Yes, I am a teacher.” Nagisa Shiota seemed not only shy, but also very refined: “My students… many of them are problem children.”

The bespectacled man sat down at the next table and smiled, "Really? That's interesting. If it were a group of well-behaved students, they wouldn't need a teacher as good as you, would they?"

“I probably wouldn’t call myself a good teacher, but…” Nagisa Shiota said nostalgically, “I just want to inherit a classroom, but I don’t know when I’ll be qualified to teach there.”

"As long as you genuinely care about every student, that's enough." The bespectacled man glanced at the liquor cabinet, walked over, took out two bottles of sake, placed one in front of himself, and handed the other to Nagisa Shiota: "Consider this a complimentary bottle; I really enjoy being a teacher."

"Thank you." Nagisa Shiota accepted it.

For such a meal, giving away a bottle of sake isn't too much to ask, and this particular bottle isn't the most expensive kind.

Normal customers would just eat well, meet the chef, and chat casually for a bit. But for some reason, none of them seemed bothered by the bespectacled man's attempts to strike up a conversation or join them. Instead, they felt it was only natural for him to be with them.

"Xuecun, stop tidying up and chat with the young people," the bespectacled man said to the waiter. "We don't have many customers here anyway."

"Okay." The woman named Yukimura walked over and sat down opposite the man with glasses.

"Yukimura?" Akabane Karma was taken aback when he heard the surname.

Not only him, but everyone except Yukino paused slightly in their movements.

Their former teacher's name was Yukimura Akuri.

Unfortunately... that person has been dead for a long time.

"Yes, my surname is Yukimura." Yukimura Akuri sat down and smiled. "What, do I look like someone you know?"

"It's nothing, I just remembered an old friend." Akabane Karma shook his head: "Today is like a small class reunion for us."

His words pointed out that they were not in the same profession but were sitting together chatting.

"Looks like you're quite successful now," the bespectacled man said to Akabane Karma. "What kind of work do you do?"

“Just an ordinary civil servant,” Akabane Karma replied.

Yukino remarked that this civil servant was anything but ordinary.

One was Akabane Karma, and the other was Fuwa Yuuki; they were responsible for the most complex cleanup work.

Although their positions are not high, as long as they are noticed and recruited by some big shots, they will have the potential to rise to great heights.

Akabane Karma is very good at acting; he can portray anyone's preferred image and is very comfortable in his department.

Although Fuwa Yuzuki is more like a nobody in the police department, the more transparent her identity is, the more convenient it is for her.

"And this one?" The bespectacled man's gaze fell on Chiba Ryunosuke.

"I am an engineer." Chiba Ryunosuke was not good with words and did not talk much at gatherings, which was very much in line with the calmness of a sniper.

“I’m a full-time housewife,” Hayami Rinka said.

The bespectacled man couldn't help but feel a little sentimental.

They all did what they loved...

Akabane Karma enjoys manipulating others in secret, and now he has achieved his goal of becoming a civil servant.

Nagisa Shiota inherited his will and became a teacher, while also inheriting his mantle as a Grim Reaper.

Ryunosuke Chiba loved mathematics from a young age and became an engineer.

Hayami Rinka's dream isn't grand; she just wants to return to a normal life.

But... I still brought too many changes to them.

Leaving that classroom and returning to a normal life isn't so easy.

What's more, their favorite teacher died right in front of them.

Even if everyone is smiling and offering blessings, how could they not harbor hatred towards the government and the world?

These people are not taking revenge on society; they are resisting in a different way, in a way they believe is the right way.

"They're all good jobs," the bespectacled man nodded.

"What a handsome boy! How about it, do you have a girlfriend?" Yukimura Aguri struck up a conversation with Shiota Nagisa as if they were old friends.

"No, how could anyone like me?" Nagisa Shiota scratched his head sheepishly.

Judging by his appearance alone, he is just a young man who is not very mature. No one would have guessed that this young man, under very tight security, carried out an infiltration and assassination, and the target of the assassination was an elite who had come from the Ministry of Defense.

"Oh?" Akabane Karma raised an eyebrow: "Kayano-kun has been waiting for you."

“How could that be?” Nagisa Shiota quickly shook his head: “She’s a famous actress now, and I’m just a university professor.”

"You kissed her and then you're denying it?" Hayami Rinka interjected.

"Well, you've already kissed her, so you have to take responsibility for her, okay?" Akuri Yukimura covered her mouth and chuckled. "She's very conservative."

"How does Miss Yukimura know that she is conservative?" Akabane Karma asked curiously.

“I watch TV dramas too,” said Akuri Yukimura. “I’ve never had a kissing scene before, and I’ve publicly stated that I won’t have any kissing scenes in the future.”

“Kayano-san…” Shiota Nagisa said with some distress, “I really don’t know what she thinks of me. Anyway, I’ll just focus on doing my job well first.”
