Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Chapter 3600 Well-behaved and sensible

"yes……"

Honma Kyou sweated, quickly swallowed back what he originally wanted to say, and watched Chi Feichi walk away.

Chi Feichi walked along the street to the intersection, turned into an alley, turned left and right in the alleys, found a secluded place, took off his disguise, changed clothes, and then went to the station to take the bus back to Mihua Town.

Honma always feels that he is no different from others, and he really lacks confidence in himself.

If a person is smart and motivated, has the brains to learn, and is willing to learn, he is already better than many people.

Moreover, Honma also has the simple trait of 'I will be nice to anyone who is nice to me'. This trait is not uncommon among the student community, but compared with other peripheral member candidates, Honma has such a simple trait. Very rare trait.

Those candidates are either profit-seeking and can betray even their friends, or they are selfish and vicious and enjoy tormenting others. They don’t have many fuel-efficient lamps. If you want to make those people work honestly for the organization, you have to spend a lot of effort to tame them. In comparison, a good boy like Honma who is willing to obey will make him worry a lot, and he is naturally willing to give Honma a little more patience.

In addition, Cowherd's store is actually in a chaotic gray and black zone.

Those cowherds will try their best to extract money from girls. After squeezing all the money out of girls' pockets, they will introduce girls into the custom industry and let girls sell their bodies to support themselves. Occasionally, there will be girls who pay too much and get nothing. Wanting something in return, he broke down emotionally and rushed to the store to stab the Cowherd with a knife.

Deception and revenge, harm and being harmed are elements that circulate all the time in Cowherd's shop. Working in that environment for a period of time will also affect people's moral values. Once you get used to it, you will feel that hurting others is not uncommon. , great event.

Moreover, most Cowherd shops are related to the Yakuza forces, and the store owners will regularly pay "protection fees" to a certain Yakuza force. In this way, the store owners' management of Cowherd and the maintenance of security in the store will all rely on the Yakuza. The influence of the organization, such as the threat of 'If you dare to break the rules of my store, I will find the Yakuza boss to kill you', is not uncommon in Cowherd's store.

During the time when Honma worked at Cowherd's shop, he was bound to be exposed to the rules of the gray and black areas, because adults in the workplace would say, 'It is right for the Yakuza to treat traitors cruelly, and it was the traitors who violated morality first', because He had heard a lot about, and even seen with his own eyes, the illegal and criminal acts of the Yakuza forces, so when he told him that the organization had a rule of 'betrayers die', Honma was quick to accept it and would not act like a serious person. Like a good boy, he innocently asked him, "Why do you kill people?"

Also, the owner of the Cowherd shop where Honma worked before was not a good person. Not only was he connected with the Yakuza forces, he would use the influence of the Yakuza forces to manage the store, and he would also encourage "money" in the store all day long. With the same values, he tried his best to brainwash the cowherd in the store.

Shopkeepers would ridicule and ridicule a handsome man like Honma who could seduce girls with his looks but failed to extract money due to lack of ability or ruthlessness.

'People who can't make money are useless...'

‘I took you in to work here, is this how you repay me? ’

‘If you don’t work hard, what are you doing here? Think carefully about why you want to come here? Others will not be grateful to you because you are kind. If you feel sorry for others, others will only laugh at you for being an idiot...'

Honma has probably heard words like this many times.

That shop owner...or rather the brainwashing method of that kind of Cowherd shop owner will constantly emphasize two points -

First: You can make a lot of money by being a Cowherd. I agree to let you work to give you an opportunity to change your life. I am kind to you, so you must be grateful to me, listen to me, and help me make money;

Second: Money is paramount in this world, and your morality is the most useless thing. Only by lowering your moral bottom line can you make money, become a successful person, and become a respected person.

In order to enhance the brainwashing effect, the store owner will give higher status to the cowherds who make money in the store, require other cowherds to be respectful to pinguan, give pinguan many privileges, and also allow the cowherds who make money to The Lang will humiliate and bully the Cowherd who has not made any money, and will even guide and encourage the Cowherd who has made money to bully the Cowherd who has not made any money.

After a newcomer is bullied, the store owner will tell the newcomer - 'Because you have not made any money, you are a loser and weak, that's why you are being bullied', 'If you can become the top seller, no one in the store will dare to bully you' If you die, everyone will only respect you'.

The atmosphere in the whole store and the surrounding Cowherd stores also tell newcomers - 'Only when you make money can you step on others. If you can't make money, you can only be stepped on by others.'

Under the influence of this brainwashing method, the moral bottom line of the Cowherds will drop again and again, and their desire to "obtain money and dignity" will be stimulated to the extreme, driving the Cowherds to extract money from their guests.

Honma has been working in this environment for a period of time. He was bullied by his seniors and brainwashed by the shopkeepers all day long. Naturally, he developed a determination of "I want to make money, and I will not be a loser." This determination probably also motivated Honma to The key to agreeing to join them.

Speaking of which, he had to thank the shop owner.

Honma's work experience in that store was not very pleasant. He had no good feelings towards the store owner, and he left the store without any regrets. However, the store owner's brainwashing had already had an impact on him. Moreover, the store owner's brainwashing for a period of time not only lowered Honma's moral bottom line, but also did not completely turn Honma into a profit-seeking person. He was just stuck at the level where he could easily interfere and guide.

Others had helped to complete the brainwashing link that was most likely to cause hatred and backlash from the target. He could receive a well-behaved and sensible subordinate with just one move. When he encountered such an opportunity, he really had no reason to refuse...

In summary, Honma was not the kind of person who was "no different from others". It was just that Honma, from a personal perspective, could not see his own advantages in him, so he could not understand why he was chosen.

It was precisely because Honma had been almost brainwashed by the store owner, and he was well-behaved and sensible, and he did not need to put too much pressure on Honma to achieve his goal, so he was also willing to treat Honma with a friendly attitude.

He did not give Honma preferential treatment, but different people needed to communicate in different ways.

Take Takatori for example...

When Takatori met him, he was already a bounty hunter who had experienced many dangers and dared to use knives and guns. Although Takatori didn't seem to make much money in the past, his unruly temper was more severe than many bounty hunters. If he hadn't pointed the muzzle of the gun at Takatori's forehead, Takatori probably wouldn't have taken him seriously, let alone listened to what he said seriously.

And if he had pointed the muzzle of the gun at Honma when they first met, Honma would probably have been scared, which would not be good for him to recruit Honma into the organization, so he naturally wouldn't do that.
