Hidan, who was waiting for Shinji to retort, was suddenly stunned!
Shinji, that bastard, didn't even argue with him?
And...and they even made such intimate gestures?!
Eek!
Hidan felt goosebumps rising on his skin, and as if snapping out of his daze, he began to struggle violently.
"Hey! Let me go right now! Do you believe I'll stab you to death right now?!"
Hidan panicked and became agitated, his eyes even showing a strange sense of unease...
Shinji frowned immediately. "Behave yourself and don't get my blood all over you."
If it weren't for the fact that this guy looked so miserable, he wouldn't have even bothered to reach out his hand!
It's rare for me to show kindness, and you don't even appreciate it?
It's a habitual bad habit!
"Let me go, I can walk by myself."
Bang!
Shinji really let go, and then Hidan fell flat on his face.
"Showing off? You try walking and I'll see. Say one more word and I'll drag you along with a rope."
Shinji grumbled and cursed, but he still pulled Hidan up again.
Seemingly recalling the miserable experience of being dragged along the ground, or perhaps reassured by Shinji's rude attitude, Hidan finally came to his senses, snorted coldly, stopped struggling, and let Shinji lead him away.
[Bond value +10, +10, +10...]
Shinji immediately gave this guy a strange look.
Ha, what a tsundere!
After walking for a while, Hidan seemed a little uncomfortable with the quiet atmosphere and took the initiative to speak up: "That guy's big sword seems to have quite a background."
"You should have heard of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. This great sword is one of them, the Broken Sword - the Executioner's Blade."
"So that weirdo with bandages wrapped around his face is one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?" Hidan suddenly asked excitedly.
After all, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were widely known, and Hidan had heard of them back in Yugakure, when he was just an ordinary Chunin. There was no comparison between the two.
But things are different now. He not only gained immortality and learned the art of Death Possession, but he also killed a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist in a one-on-one fight.
Sure enough, this is the life he wanted!
"Yeah, that was a terrifying guy known as the Demon Man. I never thought he would die at the hands of an unknown nobody. I doubt anyone would believe it if word got out."
Shinji made a sarcastic remark, then suddenly changed the subject, saying, "Of course, I believed you would win from the very beginning."
"Although you're not the brightest kid, I know that given the chance, you're capable of killing anyone..."
Although Hidan was very unhappy about being called a lackey, Shinji's words afterward caused a change in his heart.
His expression remained one of nonchalant disdain, but he was actually extremely happy!
It's even more remarkable that these words came from that bastard Shinji!
Haven't you noticed? Since ancient times, it's always been the recognition from your opponent that brings the greatest sense of accomplishment. Hidan is feeling that way right now.
But as it turned out, he was too happy too soon.
"Hehe, except for me."
Blanch!
Hidan was so angry he wanted to curse right then and there!
As expected, all that previous emotion was fake; this bastard is the real Shinji Akagi he knows!
"Sooner or later, I'll chop you up!"
[Chapter 31. The Return Journey]
No matter how much Hidan dislikes Shinji's actions and words, it proves nothing.
Because the system's judgment doesn't lie!
After returning to Mira Pen's manor with Hidan once again, Shinji began to tally up his spoils.
First, the bond value with Hidan increased rapidly, as if he had suddenly been given a boost.
The more unwilling Hidan appears, the more his bond level increases...
It's the type that says no with their mouth but their body language tells a different story.
In short, "saying one thing but meaning another"!
Thus, Shinji and Hidan's bond level broke through the 400 mark for the first time, reaching 401 points!
Compared to the last time, the cumulative increase is a full 150 points!
We're less than a hundred points away from completing the second phase of the mission, and victory is in sight.
If he had mastered the method of increasing bond points earlier, he wouldn't have spent a month barely raising his bond points to 100.
Of course, the bond value is something that is inherently more difficult to increase at the beginning and later on.
The former requires establishing a relationship to achieve the breakthrough from 0 to 1... Hmm? Something feels off, but never mind.
The latter requires a kind of sublimation, a transition from one relationship to another.
It's like everyone has friends, but how many are truly lifelong friends?
Therefore, this bond quest is destined to be a huge trap!
Shaking his head to stop thinking about the problem, Shinji once again took out the Executioner's Blade and began to study it.
The research is not about studying the knife, but about studying the new functions of the system.
Thankfully, he had taken precautions and obtained the decapitation sword beforehand; otherwise, he would have never discovered that the system actually had the function of converting cursed tools!
But what does this 'special weapon' mean?
Is it due to the special material, or does it possess a special power? Or is it something else entirely?
He touched everything in the room but couldn't pique the system's interest anymore. Only the decapitation sword seemed to have the potential to be transformed into a cursed tool.
So here's the question: if we follow this logic, do the other six ninja swords also have this potential?
What about Six Paths Ninja Tools like the Seven Star Sword and the Red Gourd?
Pop, pop!
Shinji couldn't help but pat his face; he had been thinking too far ahead.
He doesn't even have the 'money' to materialize a decapitation sword right now, so what's he thinking about being greedy? He should gather 5,000 curse soul points first!
Not long after, there was a knock on the door.
"Enter."
"I apologize for disturbing your rest."
Surprisingly, Mira Penn, who had said she was going to rest after returning, was the one who opened the door and came in.
Shinji was taken aback. The fact that the other party had suddenly come to find him meant that something unexpected had happened again.
Could it be that... his request for the tailor to sew Hidan's mouth shut has been exposed?
"Is something wrong?"
Mira Penn seemed somewhat worried, her brow furrowed as she said, "Those two corpses... are gone."
"Huh? Gone? What do you mean?"
Shinji paused for a moment before realizing what the other person meant by "corpse," and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"The people I sent to collect the bodies just returned. They said everything seemed normal at first, but after they transported the bodies to the location and took inventory, they discovered that the bodies of the two murderers had suddenly disappeared. And no one knows when or how they disappeared."
“I felt something was off about this, so I came over to tell you right away.”
Shinji thought for a moment, then considered a possibility and asked, "What do you think is going on?"
Mira Peng gave a wry smile. "There are only a few possibilities: either someone deliberately stole the body, or someone is lying. It can't be that the body just ran away on its own."
"Maybe the corpse really did run away on its own?"
Shinji said something meaningful.
"Huh? This..."
"You don't need to worry about this, I'll handle it."
"I can rest assured that."
Mira Penn breathed a sigh of relief, increasingly grateful for the decision she had made.
If it weren't for these two people sent by the cult of evil, he might have died a very horrible death.
This made him value Shinji and Hidan even more, but no matter how many benefits and advantages he promised, the two of them remained unmoved, which made him very upset.
Are all those who believe in evil gods devoid of desire and wants?
How can it be!
If Hidan were to answer this question, his answer would definitely be that Mira Penn would send him offerings, and the more the better.
This difference stems from differing worldviews and values.
Simply put, they don't care about what Mira Penn has. And what they want, Mira Penn can't give them.
The two sides are completely different!
. . . . . . . .
The next day, while Hidan was still recovering from his injuries, Shinji left alone and didn't return until evening.
Unfortunately, after the tailor carefully sewed up Hidan's arm (with a doctor's guidance), he ultimately didn't dare sew up the mouth of this menacing bald man...
The same thing happened on the third day.
