I'm not Doraemon, I'm just a salesman

"After it fully blooms, it will continuously release a kind of 'poisonous gas'. This poisonous gas itself is completely harmless to the body, but if humans inhale even a little bit, it will bring you real despair and fear."

"Generally speaking, a melancholy plant can only absorb the maximum amount of negative emotions and bloom in a place like a slave concentration camp. Even if your plant is about to bloom, but..."

Qiming paused. He looked around at the three people rolling on the ground - ignoring the brainless Chika Fujiwara. He tilted his head slightly.

"Well, the melancholy emotion is quite sufficient."

"Is there no way to save them?" Nimfu looked at Qiming in annoyance and pleading.

It's not that she has no choice, but the accuracy of using the universal card is definitely not as good as the messy and varied props in Qiming's hand.

"No, they will return to normal in a while." Qi Ming smiled and put away the grass of despair and raised his eyebrows.

"When I got this plant before, I cultivated it on a large scale and sold it to hospitals as a special medicine for treating depression. The effect was quite good. But I didn't expect that the emotions in the hospital would soon 'feed' it. , which caused many accidents.”

"But even though there was an accident, this thing unexpectedly became more 'saleable', and many people still wanted to buy it from me. It was a pity, and I stopped doing this business after that."

"Why would people buy this thing?" Nimfu wondered.

"Because of 'despair'." Qiming smiled and stroked Nimfu's little head.

"Nimfu, do you think 'despair' is a bad emotion? Of course, I think so too. The fear and horror of dying in a desperate situation, the fear of losing everything, pushing these emotions to the extreme is so terrifying - "

Qi Ming's painting style changed, he narrowed his eyes and said

"But what about the feeling after overcoming this despair and fear? Nimfu, when you were at your most desperate, and you escaped from that desperate situation with your own efforts, or some kind of external help, you How does it feel?"

Nimfu said nothing, just glanced at Qiming and said softly

“…incomparable joy.”

"Yes, this is why many rich guys try their best to get the Despair Grass from me." Qiming snapped his fingers and said with a smile.

"Just imagine, when a young man who has studied hard for six years is about to step into the college entrance examination room, he oversleeps and finds that his admission ticket and ID card have been lost when he arrives. In that extreme despair, he suddenly realizes that he will not be there until tomorrow. It’s the college entrance examination.”

"Let me ask you, when a person invests all his wealth in stocks and not only loses all his money but also owes a lot of debt, he suddenly discovers that the lottery ticket he bought has won the jackpot."

"In other words, when you are about to die from a disease and die in pain, a passionate salesman comes and gives you a pill to cure all ailments."

"I probably understand what you mean, but the last one is a bit strange." Nimfu complained.

"That's roughly what it means. The human brain has a very special compensatory mechanism. After extreme fear or extreme happiness, the human brain will instinctively reverse in the extreme opposite direction." Qiming shrugged.

"Extreme happiness is followed by unparalleled emptiness. On the other hand, extreme fear and despair are naturally followed by an indescribable and great joyful stimulation that no drug can bring."

"So, it's harmless and the most harmful thing."

"I understand." Nimfu nodded, and then without hesitation, he burned the precious grass of despair with fire.

This harmful plant should not be circulated in the world, even though it is 'harmless' to the body.Because if 'happiness' comes so easily, fragile people will become uncontrollably 'addicted' to it.

Time passed by, and after about 10 minutes, the three people in the student union finally returned to normal.

And just like Qiming said, after they got rid of the extreme despair, they all burst into laughter that was almost crazy.

"Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!" x3

Even if they knew this was wrong, even if they knew someone was here and they should stop, they still couldn't control the intense pleasure and relief brought about by the crazy secretion of dopamine in the brain.

This crazy laughter lasted for several minutes before slowly stopping. Chika Fujiwara struggled to get up with her somewhat limp body, and looked at Nimfu saying feebly.

"Little Nimfu, what on earth did you give me..."

"I'm sorry, it's my fault." Nimfu lowered her head and apologized softly.

"I didn't expect it to be like this..."

"Yes, yes, it's my child's lack of brains, so to apologize, I will give each of you a chance to 'help'."

Qiming smiled and held down Nimfu's head, then placed three business cards on the table.

Ishigami Yu glanced at him feebly, feeling that he had seen this person before and couldn't remember it at all.

If you can't think of it, just don't think about it.Ishigami Yu closed his eyes and covered his head, turning his head with difficulty to look at Shirogane Miyuki.

He didn't seem to have recovered from the extreme state of despair. He just kept his head lowered and was still in EMO, and kept muttering something in his mouth.

In this situation, it seems that outsiders shouldn't stay any longer, so Qiming simply pulled Nimfu out of here with a wicked smile.

Interesting, really interesting.

Not only because this thing is interesting in itself, but also because of the interesting people——

The thread of fate is still moving even if Qiming doesn't intentionally stir it.

Didi, didi, didi, didi~~~~

The rapid ringtone of the mobile phone rang in the quiet student union office. Baiyin Yuxing picked up the energy and answered the phone, asking feebly.

"Hey, dad, what...?"

The next moment, the sounds and words coming from the phone made his eyes widen, and then the phone slid downwards.

......

"Kaguya, I have always been afraid of whether you are my daughter or not."

When she returned to this 'home' that frightened and annoyed Kaguya again, facing her father sitting in front of her, Kaguya heard an answer that really shocked her.

No, actually I can’t say that I was completely stunned.

She was a smart child and had heard many rumors from people around her when she was a child.Although she never really took it to heart, she would still remember it if she said it too much.

For example, there were questions about her identity - but now, when these words came out of her awed father's mouth, Kaguya still felt her head sinking.

"I should never have faced that reality. If you were my daughter, then I was sorry for your mother. If not, then the woman I loved was teasing me as a fool."

Shinigong Yanan said slowly, then took out a report from the side and handed it to her

"Kaguya, open it now and get the answer. Then, you decide whether to stay or go."

"If you want to stay, no one will force you to continue doing anything. It doesn't matter whether you want to go behind your second brother's back, your third brother's back, or you want to form a faction. If you want to leave, I will I’ll give you enough funds and if you want to be with the boy you like, just go for it.”

"You're free, Kaguya."

Kaguya stared blankly at her father. She had thought hard for so long, and the freedom she had struggled to obtain was obtained so easily.

Simple, precisely because it is so simple, it feels unreal and unbelievable...

Not knowing how to answer, Kaguya just stiffly opened the test report and took a deep breath, but did not have the courage to open it.

She silently folded the report and handed it to her father, returning the power to him again.Then he stood up and bowed to his father to leave.

Shinigong Yanan watched her leave silently, and glanced at the report on the table, which turned into ashes under an invisible flame.

Is Kaguya his biological daughter?

Whether it was true or not didn't matter anymore. He couldn't feel his beating heart, and the voice echoing in his heart told Shinomiya Yanan that he was no longer the same person as before.

He may still have feelings, but...

His body was once again wrapped in that ashes-like appearance, and when he lowered his head, his human appearance existed in the shadows like a gloomy slice.

His father-daughter love for Kaguya made him hope that his daughter would leave here.And Enoch, the chosen one within the thing, the master of the Fourth House Zaibatsu...

His eyes became colder and colder, and the 'person' in the shadow no longer had any emotions.

There are too many things he is responsible for.

As his body regained health, he was no longer the dying old man.Likewise, he cannot be the impulsive kid he was when he was young for so-called love.

He is the head of this family, the leader of the Fourth House chaebol, and the real master of this country!

There are many things he is responsible for, and there are many things he is eager to accomplish. He...

He put his hand on his heart. He needed the power of Aoife Enoch, and he also believed that the 'king' who had never been masked before had no good intentions.But it doesn't matter, as long as the goal is achieved, there is nothing that cannot be used and cooperated with.

He took a deep breath and turned into a human again.

There is still much to do.

First, we have to subdue other restless factions within the chaebol, as well as the rebellious issues of the Shijo family - in the past, this would be a problem that would require most of an old man's energy and effort to deal with, but now...

He can handle it alone.

Maybe one person is not enough, so look for more.The king has told him that he is not the only one doing the work of 'reproduction' in this city. There are very few people who have been resurrected from the dead, and some people who have been killed and resurrected!

They were enough to form the power he held in his hands!

With enough power, there is no need to engage in those so-called 'business wars'. What's more, isn't the essence of business wars to eliminate opponents?

There is no business war in this world that can match the efficiency and perfection of directly sending your opponent to heaven!

There are too many problems waiting for him to solve, so... no need to look at those childish children anymore.

Letting Kaguya make the choice was his last act of gentleness and patience towards his child.

On the other side, when Kaguya left here in silence, Hayasaka Ai quickly greeted her.And it seems that her expression is not very good-looking either.

After all, her grandfather also died in the operation not long ago, and died there because of his loyalty to the Shinomiya family.

The fourth house did not punish him for his lack of protection, which was considered to be infinite tolerance for the domestic servant.But no matter what, from a personal standpoint, I would never say anything about my grandfather's tragic death that I felt 'lucky' about.

Nine out of ten people with the surname Shinomiya in this house are jerks - the eldest lady is an exception.

But maybe unfortunately, this kind of thing is really contagious, or in other words, this is in line with the proverb of the Pan-Asian Alliance——

The hemp rope is only picked at the fine points, and the bad luck is only picked at the poor.

"Miss Kaguya..."

"I'm fine, Hayasaka." Kaguya shook her head, but her pale face refused the maid's help, showing a sickly and forced smile.

"Haasaka, you know, I am already free. After my elder brother died, I was so confused that I became 'free'..."

I always felt that this mansion was a birdcage that bound me, but when the cage door was opened and I could go out at any time - I didn't want to go out again.

Fear of the outside world, reluctance to let go of the past, self-doubt - these can all constitute a person's fear of freedom.

"Consider it a good thing, Hayasaka. We can go back to the president and I can confess to him. I..."

"Miss Kaguya..." Hayasaka interrupted Kaguya, gathered some words, and whispered

"The president's sister... passed away."

87. The dead come back to life

what goes around comes around.This is the simplest truth and expectation that people hold, but the reality is always the opposite of human expectations.

The world will never give good things to kind and weak people. On the contrary, misfortune will always make unfortunate people even more miserable, while luck will always favor those who are already happy.

Even luck in this world follows the Matthew Effect.

——Even if the fate is equal, isn't it true that poor people are less able to resist, while rich people can resist more easily?

For Bai Yinjia, this law is so damn right!

Shirogane Miyuki was an unfortunate child. When he was young, his family was still relatively wealthy. However, when his father's factory was bankrupted by the chaebol and his mother divorced his father, everything took a turn for the worse.

There is no need to narrate his unfortunate background here, because only those who are still in misfortune will continue to retell their own unfortunate stories.

No matter what hardships and tests he has endured in the past, Baiyin Yuxing has now gone upstream, following the torrent of misfortune and about to touch the other side of happiness!

Became the student union president of Shuchiin, fell in love with the person I liked, and received an admission letter from Stanford University. Everything was smooth sailing in life and emotions!

And at this moment, fate, like a joke, gave him a heavy blow to the heart——

His sister, the sister who was always sharp-tongued and cruel towards him, died inexplicably.

Unbelievable, Shirogane Yuxing, whose soul seemed empty, rushed to the police station driven by instinct.What he saw was his father sitting on the ground in pain, covering his head, and the policeman checking on him.

"My sister, Kei-what happened to Kei?!"

Baiyin Yuxing roared uncontrollably, grabbed the policeman's hand and started questioning loudly. The policeman just silently put away the documents in his hand and whispered:

"I'm sorry, my sister..."

Baiyin Yuxing could no longer hear what he said. The strong dizziness made his body stagger and almost fell to the ground.

But the funny thing is that he couldn't cry at all, and he didn't even feel anything in his heart.

Is it the effect of the despair grass before?Or is he just a cold person?

It may be really difficult for people to squeeze out tears after suffering a huge blow, because what permeates their hearts is still an absurdity that they instinctively do not want to believe.

"Kui, what happened to Kei?!" Shirogane Mikado asked in a hoarse tone. The policeman was silent for a moment and led him to the morgue of the police station.

He didn't see his sister's body because the specific process had not yet ended, but here, the young police officer pointed to a dozen different morgues and whispered
