The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

It was also because her younger sister gradually showed her extraordinary talent at that time that their lives were at least guaranteed a basic standard of living.

Meanwhile, as her younger sister's achievements became increasingly dazzling, she returned to China at the young age of 18 with two doctoral degrees and received an organization codename from the organization's boss. Consequently, her status as a "useless brick" in the organization also received a significant boost in treatment.

However, she was still a low-level member of the organization, and she had no authority to know almost anything about the organization, not even her sister could tell her these things.

If her sister is the sun, then she is probably just an insignificant star in the vast sky.

To make matters worse, Shuichi Akai's FBI undercover agent found a breakthrough through her, using her and her sister to successfully infiltrate the organization and quickly gain titles within it, even nearly causing significant damage to the organization.

After Shuichi Akai fled after the incident, Akemi Miyano and Shiho Miyano, who had brought him into the organization, had to take responsibility for the matter. In the end, it was naturally her younger sister who took the initiative to take on most of the responsibility, so that the organization's punishment would not fall directly on her.

Looking back now, it seems the organization didn't just let her go. They saw through her desire to leave the organization and gave her the illusion that she could take her sister with her.

If it weren't for Jiang Hang's appearance, she would probably have died by Gin's gun by now.

After Jiang Hang rescued her sister from the organization, although the organization's existence still hung over their heads like the Sword of Damocles, at least they could breathe a sigh of relief now.

But soon, feeling insecure, Akemi Miyano began to think about what she could do now.

Jiang Hang is indeed a good person. After rescuing them, he found them a place to stay and even provided them with a new identity and a job.

Despite doing so much for them, Jiang Hang hasn't asked them for any benefits, and hasn't even restricted their personal freedom much.

This kind of life is naturally much better than being in the organization.

But when her parents brought them to join the organization, they probably had similar thoughts back then, right?

Jiang Hang can protect them now, but what if his thoughts change in the future, or what if he leaves Japan?

Of course, given her sister's talent, Miyano Akemi believed that even if Jiang Hang were to leave Japan one day, he would most likely take the sisters with him.

But Miyano Akemi has been living this life of relying on her younger sister for more than ten years. Although her parents originally asked her to take good care of Miyano Shiho, in the end she was the one being taken care of by her younger sister for a longer period of time.

Now that she finally has a chance to start over, Akemi Miyano doesn't want to continue living the rest of her life in complacency.

It wasn't a comparison with her younger sister; she had long since accepted the reality that her sister was more outstanding than her.

All she wanted was to stop being an appendage of her younger sister and to demonstrate her own value to Jiang Hang as much as possible.

As for what method to use, Akemi Miyano didn't have much of an idea beforehand.

After all, her greatest wish in life—to escape the organization with her younger sister—had already been fulfilled. So now, it seems that all she can do is repay Jiang Hang for rescuing them from the organization.

After learning about the Brotherhood's past and its impending reconstruction, joining the Brotherhood and helping Jiang Hang rebuild it naturally became her greatest wish.

Now, using this magical device called Animus, Akemi Miyano can travel through a thousand years to experience the past of the legendary assassin master from a thousand years ago, as described by Jiang Hang, and even learn the skills he mastered from his memories.

Miyano Akemi didn't want to miss such an opportunity. If she could get a good result in this test, she might be able to become a qualified female assassin in the future and better help Jiang Hang.

However, everything in the Middle Ages was extremely distant and unfamiliar to her, and it was not an easy task for her to perfectly replicate the legend of Altaïr, who had become an assassin master in his early twenties, in her memory.

After getting used to the body of Altaïr from her memories, Miyano Akemi chose the timing for controlling the hidden blade under the guidance of Jiang Hang.

Even the simplest thing, popping out and retracting the hidden blade, seemed easy when Jiang Hang used it with a nonchalant air, but when she tested it herself, she found it was not so simple at all.

The flicking and retraction of the hidden blade are controlled by the muscles inside the wrist, which obviously requires her to have a certain degree of control over her body; otherwise, she might accidentally injure herself with the hidden blade.

Even after clearly understanding how Altaïr controlled the muscles in his wrist to manipulate the hidden blade, it still took Miyano Akemi about twenty minutes before she was finally able to flick and retract the hidden blade, albeit somewhat clumsily.

To achieve the same level of proficiency as Jiang Hang, it would probably take years of practice.

As for actual combat sparring, she was even further removed from the image of Altaïr cleanly and efficiently defeating his opponent that she remembered.

In the first test, her hidden blade was taken down by her opponent before she could even draw it.

The hidden blade did spring out a second time, but she was still easily knocked to the ground by her opponent.

When an hour later, she was woken up by Jiang Hang and she herself was somewhat unsure how many times she had failed.

When she regained consciousness, looking at Jiang Hang who had no change in expression on his face, Miyano Akemi asked him with some concern about the evaluation she received when she first entered the Animus.

Chapter 407: Chapter 403: Miyano Akemi's Future Development Direction

Although it seems that Miyano Akemi hasn't made much progress in the past hour or so, you could even say she's stuck at the "initial stage" and has been getting crushed for half an hour with no chance to fight back.

But after all, she was just a low-level member who had been abandoned long ago at the distillery. In terms of physical strength or combat ability, she was probably only slightly better than the average person.

In Altaïr's memory, mastering the basic usage of the hidden blade in half an hour is a pretty good speed.

As for failing the initial level, that's even less surprising.

It's like playing a Souls-like game for the first time, without any hints or guidance, and having to figure it out on your own. It's perfectly normal to die for an hour or two at the initial boss.

In fact, after several defeats, Akemi Miyano had begun to slow down the pace of the match, using a more stable approach to adapt to Altaïr's body, and to observe his opponent's attacking habits and weaknesses in his moves.

At this rate, once she gets more used to Altaïr's physical abilities, it should only take her an hour or two at most to defeat this "initial boss".

"For a newcomer, this is not bad. However, you haven't adjusted your mindset yet. Subconsciously, you haven't completely identified yourself as Altaïr from your memories. You still have your own habits in many of your actions. This will definitely prevent you from achieving perfect synchronization," Jiang Hang objectively evaluated Miyano Akemi's performance in Altaïr's memories and pointed out several shortcomings.

However, there is one point that Jiang Hang still wants to emphasize to Miyano Akemi.

"However, there's nothing to worry about if you can't achieve perfect synchronization. After all, the differences between you two in terms of physical fitness, strength, and other physical functions are too great. Even if you achieve perfect synchronization in his memory and completely master the skills he mastered back then, you will still need to make adjustments based on your own physical condition after returning to reality."

Altaïr himself is not only a superb assassination expert, but also a formidable fighter.

After all, in his time, the Knights Templar and the Brotherhood were both openly military organizations, so direct confrontations between the two forces were quite common.

Although the combat power in the world of Detective Conan is extremely fantastical, with Ran's fighting ability capable of beating over 99% of men and Miwako Sato being among the most capable fighters in the Metropolitan Police Department, even with Jiang Hang's help to boost her power, Akemi Miyano wouldn't be able to reach that level in a short time.

In comparison, Yusuke Sakata, a policeman by training and physically strong, is naturally more suited to learning Altaïr's skills.

Therefore, Jiang Hang actually hopes that the system can give him the memories of a few female assassins in the future, so that she and other female assassins who might be recruited into the Brotherhood can learn assassin skills that are more suitable for them.

"So, in my personal opinion, if you want to continue experiencing Altaïr's memories in the future, it's best to stop delving into them after learning the basic assassin memories. Instead, you can switch to memory fragments that are more focused on stealth and concealment. This will greatly improve your observation and reaction skills. As for those advanced techniques... I'll try to get some female assassin memories for you to try in the near future."

Of course, Cassandra, the overpowered Greek demigod, is definitely not an option. Even if he had her memories, Jiang Hang would never release her. She would be practically the Assassin's Creed version of Wonder Woman. Would he use her memories of tearing apart the Minotaur and stepping on Medusa to train newbies?

However, Aya, Bayek's wife from Assassin's Creed Origins, would be a good fit.

The formation of the Hidden Ones, the deaths of Julius Caesar and Cleopatra were all orchestrated by her, and she remains a legendary assassin revered by members of the Brotherhood throughout history.

In addition, there is Shao Yun, the Chinese assassin who appears in the side-scrolling game Assassin's Creed Chronicles and the short film Ember. He first became a disciple of Wang Yangming and officially joined the Assassin Organization. After the Chinese Assassin Organization was purged, he traveled thousands of miles to Italy to seek the help of the legendary assassin Ezio, who was already in his later years. Finally, he returned to China to rebuild the Assassin Organization and became the new Assassin Master.

After mentally explaining his needs to the system, Jiang Hang also told Miyano Akemi the names and stories of these legendary female assassins. Upon hearing that she would have the opportunity to experience the lives of those legendary female assassins in the future, a look of longing appeared on Miyano Akemi's face.

Meanwhile, Jiang Hang's hands did not stop moving.

He quickly took the hidden blade from his hand and handed it to Miyano Akemi, letting her try it on and see if there was any difference between reality and practicing the hidden blade using Altaïr's body in her memory.

One is a traditional hidden blade from a thousand years ago, which still carries the risk of cutting the ring finger. The other is a blade that has been improved after being modified, with its safety greatly enhanced. Jiang Hang and Professor Agasa have also added many new features to it.

With the addition of tranquilizer darts, rope guns, and smoke bombs, Miyano Akemi felt that Jiang Hang's hidden blade was much more compact and heavy when she held it in her hands.

At the same time, using the hidden blade function requires more wrist muscle strength, and it took Miyano Akemi quite a while to get used to this change.

While Miyano Akemi was practicing, Jiang Hang continued to give her advice: "If you really want to become a female assassin, you should focus on disguise and impersonation for now. You can also learn about hacking techniques later. After all, we live in the internet age, and hacking is basically like a second means of stealth for assassins."

Jiang Hang was actually waiting for the system to give him a hacking skill. After all, Ubisoft's Watch Dogs series, which focuses on hacking techniques, has been nicknamed the modern version of Assassin's Creed. Hackers use techniques to bypass firewalls, control monitoring devices, and steal the data they want on the network, which is indeed the most common method used by modern assassins.

Right now, what Jiang Hang needs most is computer talent. Although Professor Agasa and Shiho Miyano are both skilled in computers, they are not proper hackers. Kaito Kid's hacking skills are not bad, but he hasn't officially joined the team yet. It's fine to ask him for help occasionally to get some freebies, but he can't ask him to work for him for free every time he has something to do.

It's a pity that the system keeps giving him skills that increase his combat power. Once he masters Bajiquan, he'll probably be able to go and hang out in the neighboring lunar world.

In non-combat situations, all he can currently offer is disguise and poison.

As a result, he can only learn hacking skills at a "snail's pace" in the learning space, and even after studying for a while, he still hasn't been able to add it to his skill panel.

However, Jiang Hang remembered that both Miyano Akemi and her sister had advanced computer skills in their talent panels. If Miyano Akemi had this idea, he could give her the speed-up effect of this skill and a few months. She might actually be able to make a name for herself in this area.

Chapter 408: Chapter 404: The Serial Suicides at the Spider Mansion

After thoroughly experiencing Altaïr's memories at the art museum, and briefly letting Miyano Akemi feel the thrill of being an assassin, Jiang Hang left the museum by the time he left; it was already completely dark.

To his surprise, when he returned to the office after having dinner at a random place outside, he found that Shizuka Sakaki and the other girls were still there, making phone calls to check on things.

Upon seeing Jiang Hang return, they immediately explained to him the intelligence they had gathered that afternoon using every method they could think of.

"What? Hattori also received a letter of commission from the same location, and just like us, he included a commission fee in the letter?" Jiang Hang scratched his head upon hearing Shizuka Sakaki's words.

However, upon closer reflection, it's not too strange. Tottori Prefecture is very close to Osaka, and Hattori Heiji is quite famous there, so it's normal for people to seek his help.

Since even Hattori Heiji, the second Grim Reaper, has received the request, Jiang Hang is almost certain that something strange will happen during this request.

Sakaki Shizuka frowned slightly and told Jiang Hang what she had learned from Toyama Kazuha: "Although the letter of request from Hattori Detective is indeed at the same address as the letter of request we received, the content of the letter of request he received seems to be a bit stranger."

As she said this, she showed Jiang Hang the photo of Hattori Heiji's letter of authorization on her phone.

The letter of commission that Jiang Hang and his team received only asked them to go to the Takeda family at Puppet Peak next Saturday. Although it did not specify what they were to investigate, the letter was signed by a man named Takeda Shinichi. This man's identity could be found out. According to Sakaki Shizuka, he is the eldest son of the current Takeda family and a well-known puppeteer in Tottori Prefecture.

The letter of commission that Hattori Heiji received contained only a simple sentence: "Please arrive at the Takeda family's residence at Puppet Peak before sunset next Saturday, otherwise another live puppet will become bait for the spider."

There wasn't even a signature on it, and coupled with its cryptic content, Jiang Hang immediately sensed a conspiracy.

"It seems this isn't a letter of authorization from the same person... In fact, the person who sent the letter to Hattori Heiji looks like a 'murderer' who hasn't yet officially carried out the crime." Jiang Hang muttered to himself. Back during the Tsukikage Island incident, he had used a similar method to lure Asagi and the others to Tsukikage Island.

Jiang Hang pondered for a moment, then continued to ask Sakaki Shizuka, "What about Hattori Heiji's answer? Is he planning to go this time?"

At this point, Shizuka Sakaki became somewhat uncertain: "Kazuha told me that Detective Hattori originally intended to return the money, but after learning that you, Jiang Hang, were also involved in the case, he seemed to hesitate. It's unclear what his final decision will be."

It seems that Heiji Hattori is also feeling a bit awkward. He had said he was going to catch Yusuke Sakata and make everyone have a completely new impression of him when they met again, but only a few days have passed and the two of them have bumped into each other again. Not only is Heiji Hattori embarrassed, but even Jiang Hang thinks this is too much of a coincidence.

Regardless of Hattori Heiji's final decision, Jiang Hang will definitely not let go of this request, which is at least four-star.

After finishing talking about Hattori Heiji's matter, Sakaki Shizuka began to talk about the Takeda family involved in this case, as well as the mysterious Puppet Peak and Spider Mansion.

First, there's the legend about the Spider Mansion.

It's always a classic story about a spider monster harming people and then being subdued by them.

However, this time the person who subdued the monster was a puppeteer. He used the puppets he made to burn the spider monster to death in its lair. Afterwards, the people living nearby built a small temple at the site of the spider's lair for worship, and named the mountain Puppet Peak in memory of the puppeteer who destroyed the spider monster.

The Takeda family are descendants of the legendary puppeteer, and have been engaged in puppet making for hundreds of years.

The location linked to this legend is the site of three "suicide" incidents that have occurred in recent years.

"I found the contact information of a resident living near Puppet Peak, and then, as a reporter for a paranormal program on TV, I carefully inquired about the legend. Only then did I learn from that resident that the temple used for rituals had been demolished and expanded into a warehouse by the current head of the Takeda family five or six years ago."

"These suicides all occurred in this warehouse." As if to create a more eerie atmosphere, Shizuka Sakaki deliberately controlled her voice while speaking, giving it an exceptionally chilling quality.

“A warehouse built on the legendary spider’s nest turned into a place of suicide, which does have a very eerie feel to it. It could also be a deliberate disguise by the murderer,” Jiang Hang nodded slightly, signaling Sakaki Shizuka to continue.

Seeing that her performance had absolutely no effect on Jiang Hang, Shizuka Sakaki had no choice but to honestly tell Jiang Hang about the specifics of the Takeda family.

"The Takeda family's current situation is relatively simple."
