Borrowing a Little Killing Intent?

In his previous life, Jiang Xia had actually been a Spirit Medium.

Of course, since that ability followed the soul, strictly speaking, he was still a Spirit Medium after transmigrating.

It was just that in this world, Jiang Xia could not pick up any Ghosts, so a Spirit Medium's abilities were completely useless.

The little strength he had left upon arriving had also been used by Jiang Xia to treat this body's depression. The original owner had died by suicide.

While patching up his new body's memories, Jiang Xia also parsed part of the memories left behind by Jiang Xia Tongzhi.

—Jiang Xia Tongzhi's parents had both been members of the organization.

A year ago, they had died gloriously, both crushed flat by an overturned heavy Truck.

When Jiang Xia Tongzhi heard the terrible news and rushed to the scene, he happened to witness chunks of human pulp being shoveled into Body Bags.

Jiang Xia Tongzhi had been raised by a somewhat strict nanny as a child, instilled with the values of truth, kindness, and beauty. When he grew older, although he underwent the organization's training, he could not accept its bloody methods at all. Gradually, he became depressed.

And now that this had suddenly happened, with his parents gone, Jiang Xia Tongzhi could no longer hold on alone. So he chose death.

After Jiang Xia transmigrated here and experienced life for himself, he did not find it unbearable.

—Several people had Survived the car accident that killed Jiang Xia's parents, and they had all treated Jiang Xia very well.

Especially Miyano Shiho.

Miyano Shiho looked cold, but she was very attentive. Over the past year, she had openly and secretly helped Jiang Xia block several brutal assignments, as though repaying a debt of gratitude.

Jiang Xia did not possess Jiang Xia Tongzhi's lofty and righteous moral standards, so he adapted well to the current situation.

And there was one more thing.

—He craved the Killing Intent around Gin.

A Spirit Medium's power mainly came from souls left behind after death, as well as the intense negative emotions clinging to people.

But after arriving in this world, Jiang Xia discovered in despair—there was nothing. Not a damn thing.

Souls...

He had not encountered one even once.

Negative emotions...

There were so many ruthless killers in the organization, all of them steeped in blood debt, yet they were somehow perfectly clean, untouched by anything.

...If he had not occasionally seen a trace of Killing Intent on Gin, Jiang Xia would have thought he had lost his ability to see spirits.

For a long time, Gin had been his hope for activating his Golden Finger.

There were not many chances to meet Gin.

But Jiang Xia was now considered a Peripheral Member of the organization, a useful tool sent wherever help was needed. And because his family background was thoroughly steeped in darkness, he found it easier to earn trust than members who had joined halfway through.

So the total number of times Jiang Xia had met Gin was still not small.

Besides, in Jiang Xia's eyes, Gin was not frightening.

...Because when he was little, Jiang Xia had actually watched the anime Detective Conan.

Children watching anime were usually considered poor students who neglected their proper duties.

But Jiang Xia had received special permission.

—When he watched a few episodes of Conan as a child, he became so wary afterward that he did not dare wash his face, afraid that the moment he closed his eyes, the terrifying scenes would come true, and the little black figure would leap from the shadows with a sinister grin and smash an innocent person's skull.

When his master discovered this, he fell into deep thought—how could a Spirit Medium be afraid even of two-dimensional corpses? Outrageous.

Not even a young Spirit Medium could get away with that!

So from then on, Jiang Xia gained a new activity: fighting poison with poison—watching whatever he feared.

His rigorous master acquired a pile of high-definition CDs and forced him to watch them.

At first, Jiang Xia was naturally still afraid.

But after two days, once he had adapted, all that remained was happiness.

Yet Jiang Xia had still instinctively unlocked the skill of "acting." Whenever he was planted in front of the TV, he would tremble and struggle desperately. That way, while children his age buried themselves in their studies, he could righteously enjoy cartoons. This wonderful life lasted for several months...

Spirit Mediums were naturally very skilled at controlling their Mindset.

Jiang Xia could remember every detail he had ever seen. When he recalled it, it was as if the scene were replaying before his eyes.

Therefore, even anime he had only watched once remained firmly in his memory.

This left Jiang Xia feeling very conflicted when, after accidentally transmigrating and arriving here, he discovered that he had a neighbor named Professor Agasa.

I really want to praise Master for his foresight... But Jiang Xia knew perfectly well that it was merely a coincidence, because Spirit Mediums did not have such charlatan abilities as "foreseeing the future."

Still, if things continued like this, perhaps he could have it.

Though it would be through cheating.

Carrying Miyano Shiho's Wallet, Jiang Xia walked beneath the blazing sun to the roadside and looked around.

Soon, he found a Black Porsche in the shadow by a wall.

This was Gin's beloved car. He had refused to replace it for many years.

He probably was not driving a car at all, but nostalgia.

Two people stood beside the car. There seemed to be another person sitting inside, but the dark-tinted windows made it hard to see clearly.

The two outside, however, were easy to recognize. Both were tall and broad, dressed in black from head to toe, with black Top Hats pulled low over their faces.

One had Silver Hair that reached his waist, while the other had a broad jaw and sunglasses. They were Gin and Vodka—the core Villains who engaged the protagonist in a Battle of Wits, and the touching Model Workers who devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the organization.
