The infinite sword system has been mastered, and you say this is the dragon clan?

Chapter 136: Emiya Has Gone Crazy

As an experienced demon slayer, Yuan Zhisheng is also deeply troubled by this sad sense of fate. This is also the common feeling of every demon slayer who is in the Execution Bureau, killing evil spirits and pursuing fierce ghosts everywhere.

——They clearly have a just mission, but they wield their swords to kill their own people or familiar relatives and friends.

Because when carrying out the mission of slaying demons, the demon slayer must face a mental test. Although the target of the mission seems to be an innocent and harmless fugitive, the target can essentially turn into an evil demon who loses his mind and kills people indiscriminately at any time and place.

If at this moment, the demon slayer had a trace of compassion in his heart, it would most likely mean the sacrifice of more innocent people.

Therefore, rather than letting more people lose their lives, it is better to kill the "ghost" in front of you to eliminate future troubles... Sacrificing the minority for the majority, this is the unquestionable "righteousness".

Gen Chisei was particularly impressed and inspired by this experience of slaying demons.

After all, when he became a cadre of the Executive Bureau in his early years, he once killed his younger brother Gen Chino with his own hands during an outbound mission.

Because Gen Chisei witnessed his brother's degeneration into an evil ghost that plundered people's lives, in order to uphold "justice", he had to kill the other party and throw the body into the well... Such an experience of brothers killing each other is truly a nightmare that will never end.

From that day on, Yuan Zhisheng lived in a nightmare called killing demons. The scene of killing his brother kept popping up in his mind. Every time he killed a demon, his brother's figure seemed to overlap with the target of his mission. He could not avoid it, but he could not get rid of it.

Sometimes on rainy days he would stay alone and drink, and then imagine and recall that day, when his younger brother Yuan Zhinu opened his eyes wide and watched his brother Yuan Zhisheng pierce his chest with a knife, but the brother with blood on his face just smiled and said in the tone that his brother was most familiar with, "Brother, you're back!"

It seemed that the younger brother didn't care about the fatal wound in his chest at all, and he didn't turn into the evil ghost who committed unforgivable sins as the intelligence indicated.

The younger brother is still the introverted and timid younger brother who has been following Yuan Zhisheng and calling him "Brother, Brother" since childhood.

What this kind of younger brother cares about most is that his dear brother finally got away from fighting in the gangs in the big city and returned to his hometown after a long absence to visit his lonely brother.

That's why the younger brother said at that time, "Brother, you're back." He was still the younger brother at that time, not a ghost.

This thought suddenly occurred to Yuan Zhisheng when he raised the knife and stabbed his brother in the chest to kill him.

After that, every time he recalled the experience of that day, he couldn't help but wonder if the other party had turned from an evil ghost back into his familiar brother at that moment. In this case, he would at least bear the sin of killing his brother, rather than the credit of killing the evil ghost.

But this is impossible. Gen Chisei denies himself every time. There has never been any record showing that the tribe members who have degenerated into evil spirits can regain their humanity by their own will. The process of degeneration is irreversible.

Perhaps the truth is that his brother was already dead before he drew his sword, and what he killed was an evil ghost who had occupied his brother's body but was pretending to be alive.

Oh, little girl...

"Gen-san...are you okay?"

It was not until Emiya reminded him that Gen Chisei suddenly realized that he had been immersed in memories for too long.

Emiya pointed at his waist, where he was holding Spider-Kiri's hand tightly.

"I saw that you seemed to be lost in some thoughts just now, and your hand unconsciously clenched the hilt of the sword... I guess you recalled the experience of fighting against evil spirits. It must have been a tragic battle that had nothing to do with ease and pleasure..."

Upon hearing this, Genjiro first looked around at the group of followers and subconsciously managed his expression. To be honest, if he were alone with Emiya at this time, he would even have to put on a bitter smile on his face:
"Mr. Emiya, if possible, I hope you won't guess my thoughts so accurately next time."

Minamoto no Chisei is really going to live in Bengbu soon. How much information does Emiya know about himself and the Eight Snake Families?
He was afraid that some more exciting secrets would come out of Shirou's mouth, making the secret that had been kept with great difficulty known to the public.

Thinking of this, he felt that he must quickly grasp the rhythm of the conversation and firmly grasp the initiative, rather than being disrupted by Emiya's shocking remarks from time to time, which would make his mentality go up and down.

"I think it's about time. We have a lunch arranged after this exhibition. Ying, where is the place we booked?"

Gen Chisei turned around and asked Sakura Yabuki, who was dressed as a secretary.

"Wait a moment, young master... our arrangement is at Kagurazaka Ishikawa."

Emiya took the opportunity to take another look at the girl with glasses...So your name is also Sakura?

"Very good, then let's start the next arrangement immediately." Among the Thirty-Six Strategies, running away is the best one!
Gen Chisei's tone did not sound like that of a young master who ruled the underworld with great vigor and efficiency, but rather more like that of a defeated general who was hastily making tactical changes when faced with an overwhelming challenge from Emiya.

----

This restaurant called Ishikawa is located in Kagurazaka, Shinjuku District. It is famous for its exquisite kaiseki cuisine and has won the honor of Michelin three stars for many consecutive years. It is usually very difficult to make a reservation. However, this is not a problem for the local power Snake Eight Family.

The most basic form of kaiseki cuisine is "one soup and three dishes", in other words, one soup, one sashimi, one boiled dish, and one fried or grilled dish.

This kind of cuisine is often criticized for spending a lot of money but not being full, but its selling point is not the "quantity" but the freshness of the ingredients, the delicacy of the food, the high-quality utensils and dining environment... So, the key point is to taste the style.

After all, whether it tastes good or not is often difficult to satisfy everyone because everyone has different preferences. But whether there is a "high-end feeling" that can be recognized at once is obvious, and it is no wonder that Ishikawa has won the Michelin three-star rating for many years...

"Then I have to say, Lord Emiya, you must seldom come to eat Kaiseki cuisine. Only guests who come to eat it for the first time would have such feelings."

Yuan Zhisheng skillfully put the Hokkaido sea urchin topped with Baijie sesame sauce into his mouth, and then started to eat the grilled squarehead fish and fried broad beans.

"Kaiseki cuisine consists of appetizers such as 'shofu' and 'hachi-shun', and then 'mukaifu', 'gamono' and 'yakimono'... The key to tasting is to experience the taste buds gradually reaching a climax as you eat them in order."

"No, no, this is not a question of eating more or less. I'm not unfamiliar with these dishes. How should I put it? This is probably a difference in dietary concepts," Emiya put down his cutlery and looked solemnly at Gen Chisei, who had the demeanor of a young master.

Gen Chisheng was stared at by Emiya's scorching gaze, and he felt a shock all over his body in a trance, as if the other party had come to a professional field that he was familiar with. Damn it, in this field, Gen Chisheng actually felt that he had no right to speak and could not interrupt, and could only let the other party express himself freely.

"I think that 'satisfying the appetite' is more important than 'dining experience'. The feeling of 'feeling delicious' is the best dining experience. Anything else is unnecessary embellishment and crooked ways. Suppressing the satisfaction of the appetite to elevate the status of the dining experience will only breed laziness among chefs."

Emiya pointed at the dishes in front of him and said, "For example... the sesame sauce of Hokkaido sea urchin is a clever combination, but his sesame sauce is cooked. If it were me, I would prefer raw sesame seeds to enhance the refreshing feeling and match it with the soft sea urchin."

"Look here. The conger eel soup is well seasoned, but the flavor of the plum and lotus root dish next to it is not balanced and harmonious. The problem is that the plum is not acidic enough, which makes the taste unbalanced and the taste of lotus root is exaggerated. I think a little lemon juice can be added to fine-tune it..."

Gen Chisei looked at Emiya opposite him with astonishment as he spoke eloquently... He was no longer a legendary dragon slayer and godslayer, but a gourmet and genius chef who had deeply studied gourmet cooking.

Under this powerful aura, Yuan Zhisheng seemed to feel that the owner of this Ishikawa store had no choice but to bow down to him.

But is this reasonable? The intelligence said that Emiya's cooking skills were good only because he was good at making ordinary bento dishes. How come you also know a little about Kaiseki cuisine... And what's even more terrible is that the rhythm of this topic has inexplicably returned to Emiya's control.

What is going on? Why can you continue to export even though I have transferred to Rufeng? What kind of intelligence network is this? Did you sneak a peek at my schedule in advance?
"Well, Lord Emiya, I think your suggestion is very appropriate. I will arrange for the family members to copy the opinions as a whole to the store owner and urge him to make timely improvements."

After being frustrated again and again, Yuan Zhisheng had no choice but to surrender. "Let me tell you the truth. You have so much information. I don't think you came here simply to accept the family's invitation."

Emiya was stunned, thinking that he was here on behalf of the Zhou family, and he really was coveting your sword collection, so he was willing to come over for a look so that he could steal all the designs.

However, we still have to talk about the serious and obvious reasons.

"Gen-san, have you heard of a gang called 'Aoi-ya'? We need to use your intelligence network to do a little investigation."

Intelligence network?
When Gen Chisei heard this word again at this moment, his scalp almost numbed - he tasted a subtle sense of irony, and always felt that the intelligence network of the other side, Emiya, was so awesome that the family's intelligence network could actually be put to use?
"We cannot interfere with the normal operations of a gang without reason, so can you give a suitable reason?" Yuan Zhisheng replied, shaking off the distracting thoughts in his mind.

The Sheqi Eight Families do manage a large number of gangs in Japan, but they are also the maintainers of underworld order and will not break the rules without reason. If they act rashly and cause dissatisfaction, it may even lead to disastrous consequences, causing the gangs under them to turn to their mortal enemy, the "Menggui Clan".

Emiya frowned. Minamoto Chisei did not agree easily. Even a family as powerful as the Minamoto family would not easily deal with a gangster. It seemed that the local forces in Japan were more complicated than imagined. The Minamoto family might be afraid that "Aoi-ya" was the white glove of another force that was not easy to mess with.

Emiya decided to add a little more substance to his original statement:

"What if I say that the people behind 'Aoi House' are coveting your 'God'?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Zhisheng's pupils shook violently.
