Chapter 455 Sin and Atonement

There are hidden dangers in the mixed blood of this land.

Dad confessed directly to Lu Mingfei.

He would not say something like this to someone so easily, especially when this person comes from outside this land. The Japanese mixed-races have kept the secret of their bloodline for thousands of years, from the time long ago to the present day. Keeping secrets is now almost in their blood.

But Lu Mingfei is special.

Once he came, he saved the lives of everyone on and off the Sonny.

Secondly, Lu Mingfei also used unknown techniques to heal the first mate, and forcefully brought the first mate back who had begun to transform into a deadpool.

For Dad, the most important reason is the latter.

They can cure the Deadpool transformation, even if the cost is to reduce their bloodline, but in the face of life and death, I believe that most hybrids will still choose this way, as long as they can survive.

Dad believes that Lu Mingfei, who can achieve such an incredible miracle as curing Deadpool, has no need to hide the hidden dangers of Japanese mixed race ancestry from him.

And even if he wanted to hide it, it was unclear whether he could hide it.

Koiwata and the others may not realize what it means to cure the Deadpool transformation, but Dad knows very well that he has been working for the Fuma family for the first half of his life. In the giant Snake Qihachi family, Dad can be regarded as a climber. quite high position.

Otherwise, the village would not be left to him to manage.

Dad knows exactly what it means to cure Deadpool.

Once this kind of thing spreads, it is certain that someone from my family will come. In fact, my father feels that if one person is not good enough, he will alarm the big shots of the three families.

No, it should be said that with the skills Lu Mingfei showed, it is normal for him to alarm the big shots in the three families. What is more, the heads of the big families may even receive him because of this.

Everyone, parents...

Dad's mind wandered far away. He once took a look from a distance. It was ten years ago or twenty years ago. He can't remember the specific time. He only remembers that man's courage that he will never forget, that kind of unparalleled ambition. The greed hidden under the calm surface seems to want to swallow the whole world into its belly, just like the legendary Yamata no Orochi.

Although it doesn't sound like a good guy to describe it this way, as the head of the eight Sheqi families, as the leader of those who will undoubtedly fall into the realm of Infernal Affairs after death, he is a ghost among ghosts, the most evil, If you look up to him, he is really qualified.

"Sorry, that's too far."

Dad hit his forehead in distress.

He sighed with emotion.

"When people get old, they like to think wildly and reminisce about the past."

"No."

Lu Mingfei was very interested.

“These are actually quite interesting.”

"Um……"

He continued, mumbling as if to himself.

"Who is the head of the Sheqi Eighth Family? He sounds like a very powerful person. I don't know..."

Dad saw Lu Mingfei's thoughts and shook his head with a smile.

"Kid, if you are thinking about the fighting power of our parents, I advise you not to do it."

"Oh, he's strong?"

"Of course you are strong, but compared to you who single-handedly fought off the sea monsters, I'm probably still not as good as you."

"And everyone is getting older. Even hybrids with royal blood will have their body functions decline as they get older. This is what happens when you get old. This is a natural law and no one can violate it."

At this point, Dad seemed to hear something, paused, and added with admiration.

"Except for that one, of course."

"That one?"

"Um."

Dad's back straightened subconsciously when he mentioned this person, and his face was full of admiration and respect.

"The principal of Kassel, the legendary dragon slayer, the man who defeated time."

Lu Mingfei nodded frequently after hearing a series of names.

"He must be a very powerful person."

"Haven't you heard of it?"

Lu Mingfei looked at his father strangely.

"Why should I hear it?"

He noticed his father's hidden gaze.

In the moment just now, this person was studying my expression.

Lu Mingfei thought to himself.

He seemed to want to read something from my expression.

"Never heard of it."

Dad's muscles relaxed.

It turned out that the old man had been tensing up his muscles since the first time he met Lu Mingfei.

Only now can I really relax.

"It's normal if you haven't heard of it."

"It's normal."

He murmured a few words, looking dazed, as if he was talking in his sleep.

"By the way, where did I just say it come from..."

After waking up from the dream, Dad struggled to remember.

"Yes."

"It's a ghost, right?"

"Speaking of which, what do you think of this place?"

Lu Mingfei thought for a while.

"It's nice, like a paradise."

"Ah."

"Utopia?"

Dad sneered.

"Kid, what you said is correct."

“Galleon Village is truly secluded from the rest of the world.”

"But we are not trying to escape the war."

"We came here because..."

Dad let out a breath.

"Confining ghosts."

Mixed-race families are actually a false proposition.

There are so many secrets in heredity, and no matter how many scientists spend their entire lives, they still cannot uncover the secrets, even one ten thousandth.

Whether one parent is a mixed race, or both parents are mixed race, there is no guarantee that the offspring born from their union will also be a mixed race.

It stands to reason that when two hybrids of high-level bloodlines combine, the probability of giving birth to offspring that are also of high-level bloodlines is very high.

However, the fact is that there is an example of the union of two mixed-race species with a blood concentration equivalent to A-level, but in the end they gave birth to an ordinary person.

The ordinary people mentioned here refer to people whose dragon blood concentration does not meet the awakening standard. In fact, the mainstream view in the mixed-race academic community is that everyone in the world has dragon blood in their bodies. The difference is only in the concentration. Strictly speaking, In a sense, everyone in this world is a mixed race.

This is also the reason why two ordinary people can give birth to a mixed-race child.

Genes are inherited and mutated.

It is an extremely complex subject and a more unpredictable system than the weather.

For humans, they want to find out something accurately in this complex system. For example, who mates with whom and the offspring has the highest probability of being an excellent hybrid, and who mates with whom and the offspring has a high probability of being a ghost. Regardless of the prediction What, it is extremely difficult for the human brain to do it.

But what if it’s not human?

Ever since the Eight Snakes and Families acquired Kaguya, the plan that was originally just a fantasy has finally become possible.

Artificial intelligence is a creation that is ahead of its time. What Kaguya can do is far more complicated and greater than monitoring or finding people.

The bloodline screening plan that only existed in imagination before was quickly put on the right track with the help of Princess Kaguya.

The eight Sheqi families selected mixed-race families that were prone to ghosts and built remote villages to let them live together.

In this way, even if ghosts appear among these people, it will not have much impact on ordinary society.

You can also use this method to control the number of ghosts in ordinary society as much as possible.

"So, the people in this village..."

"Well, they are all hybrids that have been calculated to have a high probability of giving birth to ghosts."

"Is it just because of... Kaguya?"

Lu Mingfei frowned.

"An artificial intelligence?"

He admitted that maybe he did have a prejudice. In Lu Mingfei's view, no matter what his father said, artificial intelligence was just artificial intelligence. After all, Kaguya, who was named after a god, was not a human being.

Because of the so-called calculation of artificial intelligence, some people must be concentrated in remote villages to live a life equivalent to house arrest.

Lu Mingfei couldn't agree.

"Kid, I know what you're thinking."

Dad said.

"It feels arbitrary and hard to understand, right?"

"Ah."

"I have never experienced the pain caused by a relative or friend who is a ghost, nor have I seen the pain a ghost brings to this world.",

"It's impossible to understand you like this."

Dad's eyes recalled.

In a sense, ghosts are more dangerous existences than Deadpool.

Because ghosts still have the appearance of humans.

Deadpool has been completely corrupted. No matter who sees Deadpool's ugly scales and claws, he will know to stay away from these monsters as soon as possible.

But not ghosts.

In appearance, there is no difference between ghosts and hybrids, or even ordinary people.

Normally ghosts are quite deceptive. They can blend into the crowd and talk and laugh like normal people. Until you relax your vigilance, the ghosts will suddenly grab your heart and taste the fragrance of death.

Afterwards, it was found that cases in which the murderer was a ghost were more difficult than cases in which the murderer was Deadpool. Ghosts can easily blend into the crowd, just like a drop of water blends into the sea, or a tree hides in the forest.

Deadpool can't do that.

What's more, ghosts also possess wisdom.

In the final analysis, ghosts are just hybrids with a greater risk of falling. Their essence is still hybrids.

For a long time, the eight Sheqi families in this land were in trouble caused by ghosts. A large number of ordinary people and mixed races died under the attacks of ghosts, and the eight Sheqi families were busy all day long.

Ghosts don't follow the Abrahamic blood contract.

I don’t know how much effort the Sheqi family spent just cleaning up the ghost’s tail and continuing to conceal the existence of hybrids and dragons.

Finally one day, they came up with an idea.

Since ghosts are so hard to find, why don’t we control the danger at the source?

As a result, sailing villages and villages similar to sailing villages were established one after another.

There was no Princess Kaguya at that time, so the Hachichi family made a list of the ghosts they had in hand, and based on this, they identified the bloodlines that were prone to becoming ghosts.

They are the original villagers.

Later, with Princess Kaguya, this plan became more reasonable after calculation.

No matter how reasonable it is, it cannot change the fact that most of the villagers who make up the Sailing Village are not ghosts.

The eight Sheqi families have always had the same view on this. In their view, if you want to achieve something, you must make sacrifices. The Sailing Village is such a sacrifice. Dad thought so too at first.

He is the village chief, and he is also the one who takes care of the villagers here under the orders of the crazy family.

In other words, Dad is the jailer.

Day after day, year after year, Dad examines the villagers of Sailing Village with cold eyes, records their words and deeds, evaluates their bloodlines, and reports any villagers suspected of being ghosts.

It's just that humans are not grass and trees, so how can they be ruthless?

I don’t know if it’s because of age that has softened my heart, or because of the long time we have spent together.

The Feng Demon family's sharp blade would slash at the target father without hesitation at the first command.

Now I have hesitation.

Because of a few ghosts, the villagers were trapped here and put under house arrest for life.

Is this a big sacrifice?

Dad asked himself.

But he couldn't find the answer.

What Dad didn't know was that when he started thinking about this question, the answer already appeared in his mind.

I just don't want to face it.

After sending away the six children, Miwako's abnormality attracted the attention of her father.

With her white hair, frail body, and all the symptoms on Miwako's body, she looked like a ghost.

So, is it the seventh one?

"Dad, what should I do!"

"What happened to Miwako?"

"Think of a way, think of a way!"

"You are so powerful, there must be something you can do!"

The affectionate faces looked at him expectantly.

Miwako is really a very good child, and the villagers like her very much. No one can bear to see Miwako in pain.

So they all hope Dad can do something.

If it's dad, there must be something he can do.

After all, he is the father, the most powerful person in this village.

The wrinkles on Dad's face trembled.

Did you hear that, old man?

Everyone in the village believes in you.

They all believe from the bottom of their hearts that you must have a solution to the problem.

But look what you have done!

I really should go to hell.

Dad walked to the bed.

Miwako curled up weakly in the bed.

He stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch the child's hair, but before he touched it, it was as if there was some invisible invisible wall in the air in front of him, and the father's trembling hand could not move forward no matter what.

"grandfather."

I don’t know when Miwako woke up.

She blinked her crystal-like eyes, timidly yet happily, looking at her father.

Of course they are not related by blood, but out of respect, many children in Sailing Village call him grandpa.

Dad's lips trembled.

Miwako calls him grandpa.

Do you want to respond?

But what qualifications does he have to agree?

He couldn't bear the sound of grandpa.

The father looked deeply at Miwako, turned around and walked away neatly.

He had sent six children away, saying they were going to the hospital, but how could he not know what the situation was like in that hospital?

Is Miwako going to be the seventh?

Dad makes a decision.

After returning, he locked himself in the room and dug out the phone book from many years ago.

"Old man, it's me."

"It has nothing to do with my family. I'm looking for you on a personal basis."

"What's the matter..."

Dad let out a breath.

"Help me, send someone out."

This is the first betrayal since Dad got a tattoo and swore allegiance to the Fengma family and the Sheqi Ba family.

Of course he knew that his behavior was betrayal.

If he could meet himself many years ago, probably, oh no, he would definitely be poured into a cement bucket by that arrogant and lawless guy and sink into Tokyo Bay.

In those years in Tokyo Bay, I don’t know how many innocent souls were created by him.

Speaking of which, among that group of people, his skill at pouring cement buckets was also one of the best.

Some people even made a special trip to learn from him.

Well, my father still remembers that guy. He learned from him for a few days, and when he finally poured it into the cement bucket, he can still recall the desperate look in his eyes to this day.

So, after he dies, he will definitely go to hell.

This is something Dad has known from the first day he became a Yakuza.

He also couldn't understand why a scumbag like him would still have feelings for Miwako. Dad is not a psychologist and cannot analyze himself.

He just wanted to do it and did it.

After all, it’s still Yakuza’s style, isn’t it?

"Hey, let me tell you, old guy."

An arrogant young voice sounded in Dad's ears.

"Do you know what you are doing?"

"This kind of thing is none of your business."

Dad said to the young voice.

"Red ghost."

In a daze, he saw his young self, with a rebellious face and a toothpick in his mouth, as if to say that there was nothing in this world worthy of his attention.

"cut."

The young man put his hands in his pockets.

"whatever."

"No one can control you anyway, right?"

Dad laughed.

"yes."

"No one can control me."

Then he got busy.

While concealing Miwako's existence from the superiors, they worked intensively to contact people to arrange for the two sisters to leave.

When my father was young, he worked for the Feng Mo family for decades and accumulated a lot of contacts.

"grandfather."

Miwako looked scared.

"Do we have to go outside?"

"Um."

Dad tried his best to smile kindly.

"Go outside so that Miwako's illness can be cured."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

But how can it be possible for a person who has been evil all his life to be friendly?

No matter how hard he tried, the smile he showed was still terrifying enough to make a child cry.

Miwako didn't cry.

Although the father could see the child's fear.

But she still tried to look strong.

"yes!"

Miwako nodded her head.

"If she can get better, my sister and everyone in the village will be very happy."

"Miwako is going outside."

Dad's hand, which he had held for a lifetime, shook.

"Um."

"Leave everything to Grandpa."

"Grandpa will arrange it."

The day is approaching day by day.

Dad seemed to have regained his youth.

There was endless energy all over his body.

Thinking about it now, the days when he was busy with Miwako were probably the most meaningful time in his life.

Finally, the day has arrived.

Chili Pepper held Miwako's hand tightly.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we are not afraid."

They have luggage next to them and are ready for a long journey.

Dad waited from morning till night.

Until it gets completely dark.

His heart continued to sink.

It's been a day, not a single call.

This is different from the original plan.

What went wrong?

Dad repeatedly told himself to calm down and tried to think.

But unfortunately, he was so upset that he couldn't calm down at all.

the phone is ringing.

Dad stood still.

He slowly lowered his head and looked at his phone.

That look was like looking at the most terrifying thing in the world.

Finally, he picked up the phone.

When Dad saw the number on the screen clearly, he slumped in his chair.

It was as if all his strength had been taken away from him.

This is... my number.

No matter how careful he was and how hard he tried to hide, he was still discovered in the end.

Too.

In fact, he should have thought from the beginning that a little person like himself, if he wanted to do something, could escape the eyes of a behemoth like me.

Miwako was taken away and sent to a mental hospital, like the previous six children.

Dad obviously hid it very well, but our family still learned the news about Miwako. So, isn't he the only one who guards the Sailing Village?

It doesn’t matter anymore.

As punishment for his betrayal, Dad was not allowed to leave the sailing village for the rest of his life.

To be honest, Dad was really surprised when he heard the news.
