Vermouth kept recalling what she had said, wondering if she had said something wrong. Fortunately, after thinking it over, she realized there was nothing wrong with it.
"Hmm!" Fang Yan nodded slightly, took Vermouth's call, and said directly, "Karasuma Renya?"
"Yes!" Karasuma Renya was also conflicted on the other end of the phone. Everyone in the organization, whether it was Vermouth, who was one of his own, or those traitors, addressed him as "that person".
However, this young man directly called out his name. Considering the other party's strength, Karasuma Renya said, "I'll endure it!"
"What's your decision?" Fang Yan asked casually.
"What do you need?" Karasuma Renya said in a deep voice, "You probably know more about the organization than I do, and there are some things I can't decide on my own!"
Mentioning this matter, Karasuma Renya also felt a headache coming on. Being this boss was exhausting, but for the sake of immortality, he'd take the blame!
Chapter 58
"Tell me if you find any paranormal events later!" Fang Yan said after a moment's thought. "If your performance satisfies me, I can share some with you, such as parts of those corpses! I trust your organization..."
You'll probably find these things very interesting!
Upon hearing Fang Yan's words, Karasuma Renya's breathing became noticeably heavier. It would be a lie to say that Karasuma Renya wasn't tempted by these supernatural things.
After all, it seems unlikely that he can achieve immortality solely through medicine. However, with special methods, his chances could be greatly increased, especially if he could thoroughly understand monsters and vampires.
Wouldn't I really be able to live forever?
As for what they need to give up, it doesn't seem like much. The organization's intelligence capabilities are indeed quite good. After all, there are too many agents from various countries inside, so exchanging intelligence is not a problem.
Even Karasuma Renya had to admit that these undercover agents were really quite capable. If they weren't disguised as members of the organization and doing their job as agents, that would be even better.
"Can I know what you want to do?" Karasuma Renya asked after a moment's thought.
"I'm very interested in these things, but finding them is too troublesome!" Fang Yan said noncommittally, "So have you figured out what to do?"
Cooperate with me? Or kill me, the one who knows your identity, or threaten me with my family?
“We have no intention of opposing you!” Karasuma Renya quickly said.
Just kidding! According to the information they gathered, this young man in front of them is usually an excellent student with good character and academic performance. But who would have thought that this guy is incredibly skilled with a sword, and he seems to have many techniques they don't know about. We can't afford to mess with him!
Before knowing the full strength of the person in front of him, Karasuma Renya dared not make any rash moves.
As for things like wiping out someone's entire family or threatening them with their family members, those are things done by members of the organization. What does that have to do with Karasuma Renya?
Those who become secret agents are all ruthless, especially after they start doing bad things under the guise of an organization, they become even more unscrupulous.
Especially Gin. Don't be fooled by Gin's apparent loyalty to him. He kills undercover agents more readily than anyone else. However, Karasuma Renya strongly suspects that Gin is actually an undercover agent himself. Otherwise, why would he be so efficient at killing people and detonating bombs?
This kind of thing is obviously done by those special agents, isn't it?
Their organization, which was originally just trying to hide and secretly research the elixir of immortality, has ended up like this. Karasuma Renya felt a little tired.
As for human experimentation, what's the big deal? Many countries do this, okay? They just have ways to make people take the blame.
Karasuma Renya has discovered a pattern: the more ruthless and efficient someone is at committing murder, the more likely they are to be an undercover agent!
Yes, I'm talking about you, Gin!
Moreover, Karasuma Renya did not believe that someone who knew their organization so well would approach them for cooperation without making any preparations.
He strongly suspected that Fang Yan's family members were even more powerful than Fang Yan himself, and that it was not impossible for them to withstand missiles with their bare hands. He couldn't afford to provoke them, so it was best not to.
“We are willing to cooperate on this!” Karasuma Renya said without refusing, “To prevent leaks, Vermouth can stay by your side as a communication channel between our organization and you! She will keep your information confidential!”
“Okay!” Fang Yan glanced at Vermouth and nodded slightly.
Since there is destined to be someone who will contact me, Vermouth is the best choice. It can't possibly be Sherry, right?
Judging from Karasuma Renya's expression, it's clear he has no intention of releasing Sherry.
"I want a copy of your research results too!" Fang Yan said immediately afterward.
"This?" Karasuma Renya hesitated. His research results were being used by others? To be honest, he couldn't accept such a thing.
Although the other party seemed fair, after all, they were the ones who obtained the research materials.
But negotiations always involve bargaining. Since I'm not in front of Fang Yan, I don't need to worry that he might suddenly attack and kill me because of my hesitation or displeasure.
At most, Vermouth will just be a little unlucky. But even though Vermouth is a bit older, I don't think many men would be so ruthless as to destroy her like that.
"I can give you a cultivation technique with some flaws. You can give it to your trusted subordinates to practice!" Fang Yan suddenly thought of something and said with a hint of amusement.
"What?" Karasuma Renya's breathing became rapid. A cultivation technique? He obtained it just like that?
If there were cultivation techniques, why would I need to research any medicine?! I could just start cultivating directly!
"Can I cultivate?" Karasuma Renya couldn't help but ask.
"If you're willing to give it up, it's not impossible!" Fang Yan's lips twitched. The Evil-Repelling Sword Technique was still very powerful, at least for the current world. However, with the revival of spiritual energy, the effectiveness of the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique would weaken.
This could be considered one of Fang Yan's quirky tastes.
As for his parents and relatives, Fang Yan was also considering other options. At the very least, he wouldn't give them the Evil-Slaying Sword Technique.
Chapter 59
"If you're willing, I won't stop you. However, the price might not be acceptable to you. After all, this is a flawed cultivation technique, and I can't offer you a superior technique at this time!" Fang Yan said calmly.
Of course, this technique has its flaws, but it can significantly boost your strength in a short period! Overall, it's quite good!
"Will this deplete human potential? Or even life force?" Karasuma Renya hurriedly asked. The old man wasn't particularly saddened by other things, but he was extremely concerned about life.
After all, what he wanted from beginning to end was immortality, wasn't it?
"No!" Fang Yan said calmly, "To practice this skill, you must first castrate yourself! And even that won't fulfill your wish. This technique cannot help you achieve immortality! In fact, it's very difficult for humans to achieve immortality simply through cultivation!"
"Hiss!" Not only Karasuma Renya on the other side, but also Vermouth, who was not far from Fang Yan, couldn't help but gasp after hearing Fang Yan's words. To practice this skill, one must first castrate oneself. Isn't that a bit too terrifying?
Even though Karasuma Renya felt that his things were no longer useful, he didn't want to give them up. After all, even when a man gets old, he still hopes to be a complete man.
Vermouth's gaze drifted subtly towards a certain part of Fang Yan's body. Could this man be... you know?
"Besides this flaw, are there any other flaws?" Karasuma Renya took a deep breath and continued to ask.
"No!" Fang Yan said calmly, "From a martial arts perspective, this is still an excellent technique, and it can even be learned in a short time!"
Karasuma Renya fell silent. He had to admit that he was tempted. It wasn't that Karasuma Renya wanted to cultivate himself, but rather that he wanted his subordinates to cultivate.
If he could, Karasuma Renya would also like to trick those agents, making them cause such a stir with their organization. It was just a pharmaceutical company that occasionally conducted human experiments, yet they were transformed into a fearsome entity in the world.
It's impossible to say that Karasuma Renya, the black-clad organization wanted by various countries, has no temper.
He was also curious whether those special agents, when faced with extraordinary strength, chose to become eunuchs or give up.
"Then I'll have to trouble you!" Karasuma Renya's tone towards Fang Yan was also very polite: "If there's anything, you can also contact me through Vermouth and just give the things to her directly. She's my granddaughter, you can trust her!"
Granddaughter? Fang Yan raised an eyebrow, but didn't pay much attention. This identity was unexpected, yet also reasonable. After all, Vermouth did indeed have enormous autonomy, a power that was unimaginable for ordinary members of the organization.
However, given that she is the young lady of the organization, all of this is understandable.
"Alright!" Fang Yan nodded slightly: "I will give the vampire blood and cultivation techniques to Vermouth. I hope you won't disappoint me!"
After saying that, he handed the phone back to Vermouth. After Vermouth and Karasuma Renya chatted for a few more minutes, she hung up the phone and looked at Fang Yan with a playful expression, saying, "I never thought that there would be such an evil thing in this world."
However, does this mean that women can practice this technique?
"No!" Fang Yan shook his head slightly and said, "If you're not afraid of death, you can give it a try!"
Fang Yan had never practiced the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique. He still wanted to be a real man. Moreover, with the inheritance of Dongjun, he didn't need such a technique.
Fang Yan was curious about one thing: what if one day in the future, when humanity was at a complete disadvantage against demons and monsters, he spread the Evil-Dispelling Sword Manual? Would he then become, like in the anime, the last man left behind?
This seems unbelievable, but in fact, it doesn't seem impossible!
"Is that so?" Vermouth understood; it was probably impossible for that to happen!
However, she was also somewhat unwilling. This era seemed to have changed, and she didn't want to become someone who would be eliminated.
The man before me is a beacon of hope.
However, obtaining other cultivation methods from Fang Yan would be extremely difficult; otherwise, the organization wouldn't have accomplished nothing for so many years.
"Alright, I'm off! Contact me if you need anything! You can call my cell phone!" Fang Yan stood up, glanced at the mountains in the distance, and said, "Also, be careful not to catch a cold!"
"..." Vermouth was speechless. Why didn't you show any reaction before?!
However, she pretended not to know anything and said with great charm, "Sister may have caught a cold. Why don't you stay and warm me up?"
"You want to be burned to a crisp?" Fang Yan glanced at Vermouth, extended his right hand, and a flame appeared on his fingertips. It didn't seem harmful, but Vermouth became extremely wary.
Chapter 60
Sure enough, this man is not so easy to talk to.
A hint of fear flashed in Vermouth's eyes as she looked at Fang Yan. This man had the ability to conjure flames out of thin air; she would need to be wary of him in the future.
No, it seems there's no need to be wary, after all, their organization and Fang Yan are currently partners!
"You should really put away your little schemes!" Fang Yan said after staring at Vermouth for a while.
"How could I possibly have any ulterior motives! Hehe!" Vermouth quickly replied with a smile.
"By the way, what's the date tomorrow?" Fang Yan suddenly asked.
"Tomorrow is December 12th!" Vermouth looked at Fang Yan with some confusion, while also wondering why Fang Yan had asked her this question.
"Is that so?" Fang Yan's lips twitched. Sure enough, people in this world today seem to have a cognitive bias about time.
No, to be precise, it's possible that the world has started to go wrong, and only I have noticed this problem.
Fang Yan thought to himself, this seems to be a world with Conan. Does that mean that from today onwards, time has become completely chaotic, and Shinichi Kudo has become Conan Edogawa?
It doesn't seem impossible! However, it doesn't seem to have much impact on me. Looking at the entire Conan storyline, it seems that I spend most of my time on vacation, which seems pretty good.
To be honest, now that spiritual energy has begun to revive in this world, Fang Yan doesn't really want to go to school anymore.
"Alright, I have to go now. Let me know if anything happens!" Fang Yan glanced at Vermouth and then turned to leave.
