My destiny is to go to work in a world that is collapsing

In the early morning, the bright sunshine flows from the windows, bringing warmth and comfort.

Xia gradually woke up from her sleep and stared blankly at the soft sunshine. She was immersed in it for dozens of seconds before she came back to her senses.

This coexistence of laziness and comfort feels good.

She suddenly realized that the ferryman had most likely chosen this bedroom specifically for her. In addition to the snacks placed on the table in advance, this exceptionally beautiful ray of sunshine might also be a gift from the ferryman to her.

At least, from the angle of the ferryman's room, there shouldn't be any sunlight shining through the windows.

Has the other party really considered it to this extent?

Xia suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her heart.

As she spent more time with the ferryman, Kasumi found that she was becoming more and more skilled at suppressing her emotions. However, correspondingly, the frequency of various emotions that should not have occurred was also increasing..

Leaving the bedroom and coming to the living room, there is a steaming breakfast on the table.

"Good morning."

Facing the ferryman's very ordinary greeting, Xia hesitated.respond to the same degree

"……Good morning"

"After breakfast, I will tell you about today's plan."

Although she had previously observed that all the snacks on the table were of her favorite type, now that she actually heard the ferryman confirming her guess, Xia still couldn't help but feel a tremor in her heart.

This shouldn't be a disguise, right? It's not disguised at all. This is necessary.

So, why are you so nice to yourself?

Xia opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't ask anything.

She suddenly panicked, afraid that when she asked this question, the mysterious ferryman would suddenly smile, Then he said,"Is that so? Then let’s end the game this time" and the like. At the same time as this panic, there was reluctance, reluctance to let go of the current warm situation. It wasn’t until ten minutes later that Kasumi finished her breakfast in silence. I suddenly realized a problem.

It seemed that I had eaten all the food on the table.

Should I say that my meal was too large or that the breakfast prepared by the ferryman was too small?

No, this is not the issue that should be explored now.——

"Ferryman, have you had breakfast?"

What Xia is worried about is that she ate the ferryman's share.

"I've had breakfast before. Why, are you feeling down because I didn't have breakfast with you?"

"……"

An unexpected response with a smile and a joke.

Or should I say, the conversation that started from just caring about whether the ferryman had eaten breakfast is no longer what it should be.

Such ordinary and warm words almost made Kasumi forget that she should be a ninja walking in the darkness.

"What is the mission?"

Suppressing the mixed emotions in her heart, Xia let her tone return to its usual calmness and crispness.

It's just that her tone has returned.

"Raiden Meiyi, the former leader of the Shadow Guard of the City Lord's Mansion."

The ferryman stopped joking and gave an answer that fit his question.

However, Xia suddenly felt a little disappointed.

She originally thought that the ferryman would follow the words"I'll tell you my plans tomorrow" and"I'll talk about my plans after breakfast." Again Come up with a new reason to delay time.

Xia found that if the destiny organization would not punish herself and the ferryman for not completing the task for a long time, she actually did not hate this way of delaying time.

However, as the ferry People begin to describe the plan to themselves, and the previous way of getting along ends.

"predecessor?"

"Hey, he's the former leader of the Shadow Guards. Don't use weird abbreviations."

The ferryman's sudden embarrassment made Kasumi startled.

Could it be that the other party had any interaction with that Raiden Meiyi? The ninja qualities that had been tested several times but had not completely disappeared made Kasumi give up on this.

"So, why is he the former leader of the Shadow Guard?"

"She is currently a wanted fugitive at large"

"What's the reason for being wanted?"

"The official explanation is 'stealing forbidden books' and 'tampering with forbidden arts'’"

The ferryman finally showed the amount of information an intelligence officer should have.

According to Xia's original character, she should act as a simple listener, only speaking when necessary to promote the conversation.

However, probably influenced by the strange but interesting performance of the ferryman before, Kasumi distracted her thoughts a little.

"The so-called forbidden books and forbidden techniques should refer to the Six Dharmas of heretics, right? Did you have an intersection with Raiden Mei when you obtained the Six Methods of Hereticism?"

"No, the current situation is - her father, before he was imprisoned, was committed to researching [mechanical components that can completely replace human body tissue]. This project is related to our next actions."

"Although this is indeed a quite advanced project compared to a town like Yae Town, within the Destiny Organization, similar prosthetics do not seem to be surprising."

Hua Yi nodded without denying it. While continuing to speak, he also remembered some past events.

"Suppose we can completely replace a human's body tissue with machinery. In terms of results, this is tantamount to completely transferring the human soul to another body. [Soul transfer], this already involves the field of forbidden arts"

"If this is the case, you should go to Raiden Ryoma now"

"Raiden Ryoma's daughter Mei...well, Raiden Mei inherited her father's experiments. A curse seal associated with the transfer of souls, which is said to be able to control the souls wandering in the world, is supposed to be inherited by her."

"hell realm……"

The topic gradually became strange.

Although she is a ninja, Kasumi actually believes in science.

However, the soul mentioned now and the curse seal that can control the soul seem to be inconsistent with scientific common sense.

"In order to further verify and analyze the six heretical methods, it is necessary to obtain the six corresponding curse seals. As far as I know, Raiden Mei will appear on the outskirts of Yae Town tonight. I will take action with you then."

"Ferryman, I think you should stay here."

Xia questioned the ferryman's words.

Although the origin of the other party was mysterious and his identity was extraordinary, Xia didn't see any weapons on him, and the white robe didn't seem to have a real defensive effect.

This kind of thing is dangerous. Du's mission should be carried out by himself as a ninja.
