"Qing is such a good man, worthy of my learning. Don't worry, if things keep going this way, when you get chopped down in the future, I will definitely hire the most professional team for your funeral!"

Kudo Yuichi patted his chest with a wicked smile. Although Uesugi Kiyoshi was speechless, he did not mind this kind of revelation of secrets between friends.

In a sense, the great detective was right.

Just when he wanted to quickly change this embarrassing topic, there were several knocks on the door, and then the wooden door of the conference room was gently pushed open.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke walked in slowly with a smile on his face.

"I'm really sorry to interrupt the emotional exchange between two [good men]."

"However, gentlemen, time is precious. How about we get down to business first?"

Kudo Yuichi rolled his eyes without giving any face and said, "Akutagawa, it's obviously you who wasted the time. How can you say such a self-righteous thing?"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke kept smiling as if he was used to it, and sat on the chair with the label "Rashomon" - this was the main seat.

The Tokyo Collectors Association is headed by Ryunosuke Akutagawa.

He took out a rather plain key from his pocket and placed it on the table.

"I can't help it. Our general is always away from home, living a life of luxury, and I can't control him."

"I was lucky today. I only drove for ten minutes and found him at his third girlfriend's house. If I were unlucky, I would go to all the places where that girl hangs out. If you can see me before twelve o'clock, I'll consider myself very skilled!"

"Fortunately, my hard days are probably over. We should have a general who is more concerned about the overall situation joining us."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke had something in mind.

However, Uesugi Kiyoshi felt a lump in his throat again.

From the sound of it, the ex-girlfriend who committed the "attempted crime" must have a reinforced company?

What kind of organization is this?

Collectibles Association?

Isn't this the Scumbag Association?

This Akutagawa Ryunosuke was not a good guy either. When they first met, he used both kindness and force to test his background, which gave him a very average first impression.

He coughed lightly, stopped the topic from going in the wrong direction, and started talking about business.

"Akutagawa-san, please forgive me for disturbing you."

"I think you can guess why I came this time."

"With Youyi here, we all know each other well. I won't play tricks with you on making something out of nothing or getting something for nothing."

"To make a long story short, you want to wipe out the Dajiangshan ghost clan behind the Dongwen Society, and I want Dong Wenyu's head. We have a common goal."

"Although I am alone, I still have the sword in my hand. I can also raise the banner of the eldest lady of the Dongwen Society. This is a legitimate reason for launching an attack."

"In that case, why don't we cooperate and each get what we need? How about that?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi's words were quite straightforward. It was not that he was not good at conversational tactics, but Akutagawa Ryunosuke was probably fully aware of his intelligence. It was unnecessary to play tricks at this time, and it would only annoy people.

What he didn't expect was that Akutagawa Ryunosuke's answer was even more straightforward.

"can."

The smile on Akutagawa Ryunosuke's face remained unchanged as he uttered two powerful words.

This made Uesugi Kiyoshi hold back his next words.

"Whether Uesugi-kun is here or not, I have to deal with those ghost tribes. In a small sense, it is a personal vendetta. In a big sense, this is what our Collectibles Association does. This is official business."

"It's my job. If Uesugi-kun is willing to help, I'd be more than happy to do so."

"That's it."

"Well, Uesugi-kun, the next topic is my suggestion. How do you think about it?"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke was referring to "joining a collector's association."

Uesugi Kiyoshi pursed his lips, smiled bitterly, shook his head, and sighed: "So that's how it is, Akutagawa-san is waiting for me here?"

"Um"

"can."

He responded with the same two words.

There is actually one thing about the Collectibles Association that attracts him the most.

free.

It is not absolute freedom, but an extra rare and precious freedom compared with other supernatural organizations.

He had heard a little about the nature of the Japanese government.

The hierarchy of government agencies is a million times stricter than that of the workplace and school. Moreover, his master's connections are not widespread in Heian-kyo, and are also limited in the Shinsengumi. He probably won't receive any preferential treatment. So, should he start from scratch as a junior?

To be honest, if he didn't choose to marry into a wealthy family as a stepping stone for advancement, then no matter how talented he was, his chances of climbing to a high position would be slim. That kind of place is completely different from this seemingly loose and free collectors' association.

The class system is rigid, with numerous aristocratic families and strict hierarchy. When new talents emerge, they are either assimilated or suppressed. This is the current situation in Japan, in every industry and field.

As for the Collectibles Association, as Master said, it is a new "imported product" that is somewhat out of tune with the general environment in Japan. I don't know how big a backing it has that has allowed it to gain a foothold in Tokyo.

It wasn't such a bad choice to choose here. The initial contract was only for three years anyway. After three years, he would be only 19 years old, which was the prime of his life. It would be completely in time for him to change jobs.

Even if something unexpected happens, with his master's connections and strength, he will be able to get out of it and it will not be difficult.

He really meant it.

It’s definitely not because the monthly salary is too high, there are also gifts in the form of welcome gifts.

After hearing Uesugi Kiyoshi's affirmative answer, Akutagawa Ryunosuke breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with some sincerity.

"This is really the best news I've heard in the last few months."

He stood up and solemnly extended his hand to Uesugi Kiyoshi.

"Welcome, Uesugi-kun, you are the fourth collector of our collection association."

"Please rest assured. I told you that the Collectibles Association will not let you down."

Uesugi Kiyoshi also stood up, but did not extend his hand.

"Don't worry, Akutagawa-san. I have a small request."

He said lightly, "Dongwenhui is caught in internal turmoil, and I want to take advantage of the opportunity to gain some benefits. I will plan how to do it myself, but I need the power of the Collectibles Association as my backing - if Dongwenjue fakes his death and comes back to life, and tricks me and swallows back the reward I deserve, I need your help."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "Your worry is not unreasonable, but..."

"Uesugi-kun, ten minutes ago, a field agent lurking in the Dongwen Society sent back a tip that they had obtained a blood sample from Dongwen Jue's body. After testing, it was found to be a perfect match with Dongwen Jue's DNA."

"That is to say, the one whose head and body were separated was Dong Wenjue himself. The Dongwen Snake is probably really dead."

Upon hearing the news, Uesugi Kiyoshi and Kudo Yuichi were both a little shocked, but then they fell into deep thought.

"But it's not unreasonable for you to worry. That old fox is likely to have a backup plan. He won't die in vain."

"Don't worry, since you have joined the association, you are one of us. I will use the connections of the Akutagawa family to help you."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke gave a confident smile.

"The Akutagawa family was supported by Mr. Natsume. After nearly a hundred years of operation, they control the pen of Japan. No one can pretend not to hear the words of those [national teachers]."

"This network of contacts can radiate to all walks of life. With the help of our great detective, even if Dong Wenjue has a brilliant plan, he will have to admit defeat!"

"Just do it with confidence, Uesugi-kun. You are no longer alone now."

After exchanging a glance with Akutagawa Ryunosuke, Uesugi Kiyoshi chuckled and extended his hand.

Two equally white and powerful hands clasped together and separated as soon as they touched.

Uesugi Kiyoshi said softly, "If Akutagawa-san had been so frank with me when we first met, this scene might have happened earlier."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke smiled apologetically.

"Well, I understand what Uesugi-kun means, but I didn't know you well before. Hearing about you is worse than meeting you in person. I still want to test what kind of person Uesugi-kun is and see him with my own eyes."

"I always have to know how I deal with people, how I conduct myself, how I talk, and how I scheme."

"Don't blame me for being utilitarian, Uesugi-kun. If you were just a reckless man who relied solely on force, even if you had the support of the Uesugi swordsman, I wouldn't be so persistent in inviting you to join us."

"A swordsman with extraordinary talent is rare, but I don't need him. But a swordsman with extraordinary talent who can remain calm, know when to advance and retreat, and react quickly, and can handle my soft and hard tactics without any loopholes, is really rare."

"I really need someone to share the burden on my shoulders, and you are a very good choice."

Uesugi Kiyoshi asked with a smile, "Then aren't you afraid of angering me and making me hostile to you, Akutagawa-san?"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke shook his head slowly.

"That's not the case. Our detective said that as long as you don't touch Uesugi-kun's bottom line, you are a very easy person to talk to."

"Besides, this level of [accident] should not affect your subjective judgment."

"Your actions that day and the choices you make now demonstrate that as well."

"."

"Let's chat for a while."

"Great Detective, go get Uesugi-kun to change his clothes. I'm going to prepare the contract paperwork first and open the Shosoin Repository. When you come back, I'll let Uesugi-kun choose a satisfactory collection."

When Uesugi Qing heard this, his heart moved slightly.

Chapter 87: Non-text, answering questions about book reviews

This is not the main text and can be skipped. It answers some questions about the book reviews.

I have basically read all the book reviews, and I agree with some of the problems. I have also revised some of them. Of course, I didn't say which parts were revised because they were too trivial. The extent of the revisions is not worth re-reading. They are not important. If new readers find that the content of the main text does not match the interludes, it should be that the revisions have been made.

However, the main storyline, character settings, and the heroine probably can't be fixed. These things are set in stone, so even if it fails, we have to accept it.
