"Yes, memory blocking does have an impact on the brain after all. One of the reasons why my mother asked me to take care of the aftermath is because Aunt Yukinoshita was involved in the incident, and she was worried about letting other people handle it..."
Hoshiga Shirayuki's explanation made Yukinoshita Yukino look depressed.
She didn't know Xingjia Baixue, nor did she know Mrs. Xingjia who sent her daughter to help because of her mother's experience.
Although she had long expected that she would be abandoned by her family, this was the only time that Yukino clearly understood what "abandonment" meant.
After hearing this, Luo Shu was a little curious and asked, "Did your mother insist on sealing her memory?"
"Yes." Xingjia Baixue said, and glanced at Yukinoshita Haruno: "Since the Yukinoshita family has decided to take the political route, then intervening in the mysterious side is strictly prohibited."
"Political families are not allowed to become professionals related to the mysterious side. This is a rule established in the Showa era."
Hearing this, Luo Shu's expression was very calm. After all, if a powerful person had his fists, it would be hard to say who would have the final say in the island country that was remotely controlled by America and assisted by the chaebols.
Therefore, Luo Shu also heard about the fact that these city councilors and county councilors were not aware of the current situation of the mysterious side from Tachibana Kirika.
In addition to several special departments within the Metropolitan Police Department, there are also some members who signed the agreement.
These so-called elected members of parliament and even cabinet members were all excluded from the circle.
The reason is simple.
To become a warlock, one needs the assistance of the so-called 'inherited abyss items', and the inherited abyss items that can do this are extremely rare.
There are more than 600 members of the island nation's parliament and senators, plus more than ten times the number of county and city councilors. That means nearly families. Can one person be arranged in each family to become a mysterious confidant?
It is impossible to squeeze the island countries dry.
Not to mention, these members of parliament are elected, and some are replaced every few years. Their abilities are generally questionable, and even their IQs are worrying, because elections in island countries can be passed down from generation to generation.
No matter how stupid the authorities are, they know it's not okay to let these people become warlocks.
The civil servants who actually make decisions on the island country have had enough of these idiots. If they were given superpowers, wouldn't that be the end of the world?
Therefore, the official authorities also try their best to block the information about the mysterious side. Almost every sorcerer in the Onmyoji Ryo, the Metropolitan Police Department, or the Self-Defense Forces must report to the official authorities.
In this situation where there are more people than resources, those who understand the forces in this area will naturally try to minimize the leakage of information in this area.
According to Luo Shu's guess, the abyss props used by Xingjia Baixue's family to continue the warlock's inheritance should be the so-called "colored gold".
"So, Miss Shirayuki wants to convince someone from the Yukinoshita family to get in touch with the inheritance of the Hoshiga Shrine so as to avoid the scrutiny of the confidentiality rules?"
Hearing Luo Shu's words, Xingjia Baixue was silent for a moment, then said:
"One hundred million US dollars. Mom said that if the Yukinoshita family is willing to pay one hundred million US dollars and let a child transfer to the Xingjia family, she will allow him to have access to the inheritance. She will also stop the opinions of the Onmyoji and the Congress."
At this price, not only Yukino, but even Haruno was stunned for a moment.
Although the Yukinoshita family has 100 million US dollars, they will have to liquidate most of their real estate. At this price, what's the difference between this and a rejection?
And the child is adopted? In other words, she becomes the adopted daughter of the Xingjia family? How can Aunt Xingjia be so cruel? No... This is... This is to force the mother to bow her head (Wang Zhao's). Yukinoshita Haruno reviewed it and immediately understood.
The Hoshiga Shirayuki family and the Yukinoshita family are naturally close, as one is a major local shrine owner and the other is a county councilor for generations. To a certain extent, the mothers of both families are childhood sweethearts.
But just because they are childhood sweethearts, there has to be a distinction between the high and the low.
As middle-aged women, the natural point of comparison between the two parties is their husbands and children.
At present, Mrs. Yukinoshita is far ahead in the ability to train her husband, and she has one more child. Mrs. Xingjia is extremely dissatisfied with this, and it is normal for her to do something to make things difficult for her good sister.
Yukinoshita Haruno expressed her understanding of this.
The only ones who didn't understand were Luo Shu and Yukinoshita Yukino.
What is this? A good sister is being ripped off? If I adopt a child, should I call her Xingjia Xueno? Or Xingjia Yangno?
Luo Shu muttered to himself, looking at the people in front of him with different expressions, and then gently knocked on the table in front of him:
“Although I don’t know why Madam Xinga made this request, I have another plan.
At this point, Luo Shu did not keep anyone in suspense and said directly:
"I have an SDS job opening."
Chapter 128 Yukinoshita Yukino's Thoughts
Upon hearing about the job opening at $/SDS, Xingjia Baixue looked at Luo Shu with a strange expression, thinking: This cheap junior of mine seems to have a very high status.
Although both the Onmyoji and the government intended to prevent the recruitment of members of the SDS, or Special Data Management Office, there was one thing they had to admit.
SDS is indeed more than one level ahead of them in the research and utilization of the abyss and abyss items.
Although they exclude the existence of SDS for the sake of the interests of local forces, if the other party opens up member recruitment for reasons such as official or even family members in the Onmyoji Ryo to join, this exclusion will naturally not be impregnable.
But Director Tachibana of SDS is too tough, the kind of person who believes in "If you exclude me, I will exclude you too."
This also makes it difficult for SDS to recruit members on the island.
And now, Luo Shu was suddenly able to get an SDS recruitment vacancy. In some ways, did this mean that the SDS department was willing to open up and allow local mysterious personnel to join?
Xingjia Baixue was not clear about the specific situation and planned to go back and ask her mother.
On the other hand, after hearing what Luo 680 said about the "SDS recruitment quota", Yukinoshita Haruno immediately understood Luo's intention, but still asked a tentative question:
"What Luo Shujun means is..."
Luo Shu glanced at Yukinoshita Haruno, and then said clearly:
"That's what it means."
"The Secret Management Department I work for will recruit a member of the Yukinoshita family."
"In return, the Yukinoshita family will use its influence in Chiba Prefecture to support the upcoming SDS Chiba Prefecture branch."
Xingjia Baixue was surprised when she heard that SDS was going to set up a branch in Chiba Prefecture:
"Eh? Chiba Prefecture branch?"
"Oh, I almost forgot this seems to be still confidential."
Luo Shu seemed to have suddenly remembered something, slapped his thigh with sudden realization, and then said:
"Then you can just pretend I didn't say anything.
Is it still meaningful to say this now? x3
The three girls present all complained in their hearts.
On the other hand, seeing that Luo Shu had exposed the subtext of "exchange of interests", Yukinoshita Yotsuba was very tempted.
Of course, she knew that the conditions of Xingjia Shrine were all false, and they were put on display for others to see. The real price to pay was not that much.
But the relationship between the Yukinoshita family and the Hoshiga Shrine is already very good, and adopting a daughter can only be icing on the cake.
On the other hand, Luo Shu represents the Yukinoshita family in establishing contact with the powerful department SDS.
The nature here is different.
You have to know that my mother has been mobilizing people to investigate the situation of the SDS department since she was safe, but the most detailed information she got was "a special department at the same level as the garrison, affiliated with the American financial group."
But just this news alone was enough for the Yukinoshita family to place a bet.
However, if they want to place a bet, they must send someone from the Yukinoshita family to work in SDS, but the most troublesome thing for the Yukinoshita family right now is this candidate.
Just when Yukinoshita Haruno was worried, Yukinoshita Yukino beside her suddenly spoke up:
"If you accept the position, the Yukinoshita family won't have their memories wiped. Am I right in understanding that?"
Hearing this cold yet stubborn female voice, Luo Shu glanced at Yukinoshita Yukino, the famous "snow girl" in his eyes, and nodded immediately:
"Secret rules are usually only applied to the general public. If you are a relevant person, you don't need to clear your memory."
"Of course, erasing memories may not be a bad thing."
Luo Shu said this with a deep look at Yukinoshita Yukino and said:
"After all, being away from the mystery does not necessarily mean you will encounter danger, but being close to the mystery will definitely lead to danger."
"It's not necessarily dangerous to stay away, but is it necessarily dangerous to get close?" Yukinoshita Yukino chewed on this sentence, and then exhaled (aeac) "I understand.
After that, she looked up at her sister Yang Nai and said softly:
"I'm sorry, sister, I might have to make a willful decision."
Although she said that, Yukinoshita Yukino actually knew it clearly.
If I had to choose one person to sacrifice in the Yukinoshita family, it would definitely be her, Yukinoshita Yukino.
The mother is in charge of the family's development and controls the economy; the father is in charge of maintaining political relations and is a county councilor; and the sister has been trained as an heir for more than ten years and is about to take over the mother's responsibilities and father's resources.
Among the four members of the Yukinoshita family, three are destined to move forward on the path of maintaining the family's traditional line. The only one who can really come up with something is Yukino, and only Yukino.
Yukinoshita Yukino, who knows her mother's personality very well, knows very well that she will be the one to be "sent away" in the end.
Either you are sent to Hoshiga Shrine and become 'Hoshiga Yukino', or you join SDS and become SDS member 'Yukinoshita Yukino', there is no third way.
Because her mother would never choose the option of returning to an ordinary life. After all, the man she encountered before had the power to destroy the Yukinoshita family by force, and with her mother's character, she would never tolerate this happening again.
Therefore, getting closer to the mystery is almost inevitable for the Yukinoshita family, even if the price of getting closer is sacrificing the future of their second daughter.
Hearing Yukino say "willful decision", Yukinoshita Haruno felt unusually powerless.
What Yukino could guess, how could she, as her sister, not guess?
But it is precisely because of this that Yukinoshita Haruno feels particularly powerless.
Deliberately provoking Yukino and keeping her away from Yukinoshita's house like she did before was already the most irritating thing she had done to her mother. If she rejected Yukino's idea again, she would be directly disobeying her mother.
The education she received since she was a child made her very clear about the consequences of disobeying her mother, so facing Yukino's choice, Yukinoshita Haruno could only sigh:
"I understand. If it's your own decision, Yukino, I'll understand."
In principle, Yukinoshita Haruno prefers Hoshiga Shirayuki, but in the end, she evasively threw the choice to Yukino.
At this time, she really didn't want to force her will on her sister.
Seeing Yukinoshita Haruno give in, Yukino was somewhat surprised. She thought the other party would terminate the conversation and interfere with her choice in private, but in the end, he just condoned her willful behavior this time.
This was somewhat different from her sister's usual style, but Yukino knew that she had no way out.
Thinking of this, she took a deep breath, stood up, bowed to Luo Shu and said:
“Please take care of me in the future, Senior Luo Shu.
Looking at Yukinoshita Yukino who had made the decision in front of him, Luo Shu narrowed his eyes and then smiled:
"Senior? I like this title."
Becoming a small leader in less than a week, this promotion speed seems quite interesting.
Chapter 129 Wrong Judgment
"Really? Have you joined that legendary department?"
In the VP ward of the hospital, Mrs. Yukinoshita put the peeled but slightly oxidized apple into her mouth and said with a cold face:
“You didn’t tell Yukino to choose the Hoshiga Shrine?
"I'm sorry, Mom."
Yukinoshita Haruno lowered her head and stood beside Mrs. Yukinoshita, like a naughty child being trained.
"As the old friend of the Yukinoshita family, only the Hoshiga Shrine can ensure Yukino's absolute safety. You shouldn't be such an ignorant child, Haruno."
Hearing her mother's scolding, Yukinoshita Haruno lowered her head without saying a word, nor did she make any excuses. She just lowered her head silently.
Seeing Haruno's "silent protest", Mrs. Yukinoshita felt that her "eldest daughter" had not yet been able to eliminate her nature through her education, and needed further training.
On the other hand, she felt that her 'eldest daughter' was very much like herself, because she had also protested against her father's discipline in the same way.
Mrs. Yukinoshita did not continue to pay attention to her eldest daughter's "resistance", but said to herself:
"It was indeed my mistake not to let Yukino participate in the social activities at the Hoshiga Shrine, which led to her making a wrong judgment."
"But this isn't her fault. Miyuki was able to keep a secret from me for nearly forty years, so it's normal for Yukino to misjudge."
Anyone who finds out that his best friend is actually a person with super powers who can "call the wind and rain", and that her family also inherits super powers from generation to generation, would be surprised if he is not confused.
Although Mrs. Yukinoshita was certain that the Hoshiga Shrine would not harm her daughter based on her long-time friendship, she was still somewhat unhappy about the concealment.
Of course, this was just emotionally unacceptable, but rationally, she thought her friend did the right thing.
It’s just a pity that the Yukinoshita family and the Hoshiga Shrine cannot continue to deepen their relationship. After all, her family doesn’t have a third daughter.
