Gin doesn't want to work hard

In his words.

People with psychological issues like Gin, if they stop harming others under external pressure, may turn to self-harm because their inner desires cannot be satisfied.

To be honest, the boss didn't really believe that kind of talk.

Gin is, after all, the organization's top killer. Although his personality is somewhat twisted, he has always been very strong in terms of mental fortitude.

Even if they're unhappy inside, they probably wouldn't do something to hurt themselves, right?

I asked several psychologists, and their answers were all pretty much the same.

Ultimately, the boss decided to observe further.

But to everyone's surprise, Gin disappeared without a trace after completing his last mission.

None of the people the Boss had planted in his base knew where Gin was.

When asked, Rum also didn't know.

Finally, they found Gin's close henchman, Vodka. Vodka seemed to know something, but he kept stammering and couldn't get to the point.

When asked where Gin was located, he couldn't answer.

The boss got a little anxious and even considered calling Gin to retract the previous order.

But it had been less than a day since he issued the order, and the boss just couldn't bring himself to do it!

The boss was starting to regret it.

Upon closer examination, Gin's problem isn't actually that big.

He just enjoys killing and torturing people.

They were never good people to begin with, so what's wrong with having weird hobbies?

Think about it from another perspective.

As the organization's top killer, and the face of the organization, one should have some personality to uphold the organization's prestige!

Gin is exceptionally capable and extremely loyal. If his actions were to be ruined by a single order, the boss would likely regret it for the rest of his life.

The boss has been thinking about this for the past two days, and now he's figured it out.

As long as Gin remains loyal to him, he doesn't care about anything else.

He will give Gin the greatest freedom.

After waiting for what felt like an eternity until the third day, the boss pretended to be reserved and waited until dawn before impatiently calling Gin.

Upon hearing the slightly hoarse voice coming from the other end of the phone, the boss couldn't help but ask.

"Gin, how have you been these past few days?"

Kurosawa looked completely bewildered upon hearing this.

What's wrong with the boss? I called him first thing this morning just to ask how he's been these past few days.

Could it be that he's getting old, his body isn't functioning properly, and his brain has gone bad?

Kurosawa made malicious speculations, but his verbal response was perfectly conventional.

"not bad."

The boss didn't really believe what Kurosawa said.

Just by listening to Gin's hoarse voice, the boss could tell that he was in a bad state.

As for why Gin didn't say anything, it's probably because he didn't want to put him in a difficult position.

Just like when he stopped Gin's mission without any reason before, Gin didn't complain at all.

There aren't many employees this loyal and considerate of their boss anymore!

The boss became increasingly satisfied with Kurosawa, and his tone softened.

"Your medical report..."

"I'll send it to you this afternoon."

Kurosawa immediately cut off the boss's words.

He said the boss suddenly called him because he was urging him to come.

To avoid the boss causing any more trouble, Kurosawa naturally chose to interrupt him directly.

Although he hasn't done it yet, there's still time, so the most important thing is to shut him up first!

Upon hearing this, the Boss swallowed back the words "that's not necessary."

Because he was eager to interrupt the boss, Kurosawa spoke a little too quickly, and at that moment he felt a little uncomfortable in his throat and couldn't help but cough twice.

Boss: "..."

Hearing the coughing beside him, the boss felt a long-lost pang of conscience.

Look at what he's driven his loyal subordinates to.

With a sigh, the boss spoke earnestly.

"Gin, I understand your thoughts. I will no longer restrict you, and you don't need to suppress yourself anymore."

Kurosawa: ? ? ?

That's strange, why is the boss starting to talk nonsense?

Not knowing how to respond, Kurosawa simply remained silent.

Seeing that Kurosawa did not reply, the boss did not mind, but secretly decided to make up for the tasks he owed Gin in the past two days.

Seeing that Gin was unwilling to disobey his previous orders, the boss stopped mentioning the need for the test report.

"Gin, from now on I will give you the greatest freedom. I hope you will not disappoint me."

Kurosawa: ? ? ?

Although he still couldn't understand the boss's thought process, Kurosawa could understand it just by hearing that sentence.

Good heavens! That scumbag boss promoted him?

However, he already held a high enough position within the organization.

Since he was already directly under the boss, it seemed that even if he were promoted, he wouldn't get much further.

Thinking of this, Kurosawa, who had been somewhat agitated, immediately calmed down.

But he still acted as if he was very excited.

"I won't let you down!"

The boss was very satisfied with what he heard, gave him a few more words of encouragement, reminded him to take care of his health, and then hung up the phone.

Kurosawa stared at his phone, feeling utterly bewildered.

Why would someone call so early in the morning just to say a few things that are incomprehensible to others?

After thinking for a long time without figuring out the boss's thought process, Kurosawa finally gave up and attributed it to the boss having a mental breakdown.

Anyway, it won't do him any harm.

With the boss's words just now, he can be even more unrestrained in the organization.

He can now make decisions on matters that he previously needed to report to the boss on his own.

Most importantly, there are now more funding opportunities available!

Thinking about it this way, it's really quite something that the boss is having this episode.

Kurosawa tossed his phone back onto the bedside table, lay back down on the bed, and closed his eyes.

It's still early; we can talk about the rest after he wakes up.

Chapter 30 Case Studies

When Kurosawa woke up again, it was almost noon.

Although he still owed the boss an inspection report, Kurosawa wasn't in a hurry at all.

There's no use in being anxious; it's lunchtime, and all the doctors in the hospital are on their lunch break.

After quickly washing up, Kurosawa tied his hair into a high ponytail and put on his glasses.

After completing his usual disguise, Kurosawa leisurely went out and bent down to get into his car—a beige Volkswagen Beetle.

Despite its small size, thanks to Kurosawa's modifications, this car boasts top-notch performance and comfort.

On the way, Kurosawa made sure to find a restaurant to fill his stomach, and then went to a mobile phone store to buy a new phone.

As for the one that was hit by a bullet, it has been taken away by the police as evidence.

Kurosawa only took the SIM card back. As for the phone itself, there was nothing of interest in it, and there was nothing important on it, since it was just for everyday use.

It took a little time to get there, and by the time Kurosawa arrived at the hospital, the doctors had just started their shift.

After registering normally, Kurosawa followed the signs to the psychiatric department.

Perhaps because they arrived early, it wasn't long before it was Kurosawa's turn.

Kurosawa is quite helpless about his boss's daily doubts about his mental state.

He believed he was in excellent mental health, but the boss just wouldn't believe him.

Now Kurosawa understands.

The boss, having held a high position for a long time, has always been a man of his word and has unwavering confidence in his own judgment.

Since the boss thinks he's sick, he'll just go along with the boss and pretend to be sick.

Pretending to be sick won't cost you anything, and it'll make the boss more agreeable and less likely to pay attention to you.

So when faced with the doctor's questions, Kurosawa appropriately displayed an anxious and irritable demeanor.

To make it look more realistic, Kurosawa forced his eyes to turn red and remained silent, just staring at the doctor.

The doctor, seemingly having imagined something, looked like he had just realized something and quickly wrote a few lines on the medical record.

Then, the doctor handed Kurosawa several sets of exercises for preliminary assessment of his mental state.
