Chapter 86 Harsh Trading Rules (Ch 86)

“100 billion yen a year?” After hearing the offer from the Grim Reaper, Karasuma Renya repeated it in his mouth.

He didn’t expect that the God of Death would sell lifespans at a fixed price, but this was also a good thing for him.

Mochizuki was not afraid that Karasuma Renya would not agree, as this price was definitely acceptable to him.

Wangyue determined the price after many investigations, so that only a small number of people in the world can afford it, but not to the point of endless purchase. Don’t be fooled by the fact that those rich people are worth tens of billions or even hundreds of billions. Those are actually their total assets. They have to sell all their companies to have that much money. There is not much cash that can be used at will.

Moreover, Mochizuki only takes money and not fixed assets, because there is a problem with fixed assets, that is, under whose name are they registered? If it is registered under Mochizuki’s name, then the identity is directly exposed; if it is registered under someone else’s name… then what’s the point?

So just collecting money is the safest option.

Some people may think that this is unfair. With such a high price, doesn’t it mean that only rich people can afford it?

That’s right! What do you, a poor man, need to live so long? What you really need is money!

Come on, I also offer a service where you can exchange your life for money. Of course, you can’t exchange one year of your life for 100 billion yen. I can give you 100 million yen at most, a thousand times the difference. Monopoly business is so capricious.

Karasuma Renya thought for a moment and asked, “If I can provide you with an inexhaustible supply of life, could you lower the price a bit? I think this would be a good thing for you, right?”

Wangyue really wanted to praise him: You are such a genius! You can even think of this?

I need to obtain life from others, so you find someone to give me life, and then I sell it to you when I have life, and you find someone else to give me life. It’s sustainable development… a win-win situation!

However, the reality is cruel, “This won’t work.”

“Why?” Karasuma Renya was puzzled.

“Because this kind of transaction cannot be forced.”

“No need to force, I can find people who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the organization.” Although everyone joked that everyone in the winery was undercover and only Gin was loyal, in fact, loyal people still accounted for the majority of the people in the winery.

Mochizuki denied it again. “It’s not that I just don’t get forced. Everything in the world has its rules. The god of death also has rules. The rules for the god of death to trade with people are eight words: voluntary, free, autonomous, and self-righteous.”

Voluntariness: There must be no coercion or threat during the transaction.

Freedom: The trading party has the ability to refuse the transaction. (It is the ability, not the right)

Autonomy: There should be no third party intervention in the transaction process.

Self-correction: Do not have any unfavorable thoughts about your trading partner.

“Perhaps someone is willing to sacrifice for you without being forced, but that only meets the first requirement, and the other three requirements may not be met. Your assassins probably don’t even have the concept of rejection in their minds, right? Asking you to arrange for someone to trade with me is equivalent to having a third party intervene. And doing so is taking advantage of them, and the contract cannot be concluded.”

After hearing what the god of death said, Karasuma Renya finally understood how harsh the rules of the deal were. With this calculation, an organization of tens of thousands of people couldn’t even pick out a qualified sacrifice.

If the rules were not so strict, Mochizuki would not have had to approach Conan. Simply put, this is the ideal contract: what kind of contract do you want others to use on you? This “what you want” is the standard of the god of death’s transaction.

We can’t have double standards.

“Of course, these restrictions only apply when I collect lifespans from others. There are no restrictions on who I want to give my lifespans to and how I want to give them,” added Mochizuki.

Karasuma Renya stopped worrying about sustainable development and asked, “So, if I buy a life span from you, how can I be sure that my life span has really been extended?”

This is indeed a problem.

If the Grim Reaper just ignored the money after Karasuma Renya gave him, and fled with the money, claiming that he had added more life to him, but in the end he hadn’t added anything, how could Karasuma Renya be sure that the Grim Reaper really had added more life to him, or was he just lying?

Just trust the god of death? That’s probably difficult… The higher the position, the less you trust anyone.

Fortunately, Wangyue had done enough homework and asked, “Are you researching immortality?” (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Karasuma Renya was shocked. The God of Death even knows this?

Mochizuki continued, “Human lifespan is determined by the telomeres at the ends of chromosomes (this is just a hypothesis). The longer the telomeres, the more times the cells can divide, and the longer the lifespan. You can check the telomere length beforehand, and then check it again after the transaction is completed. The telomere length will tell you whether your lifespan has increased.”

There was a gleam in Karasuma Renya’s eyes. He didn’t expect that there was such a scientific testing method, which happened to be his favorite.

“I understand, but it will take time to raise funds and test telomeres…”[]

“No problem, just set a time.”

“How about four days later?”

“Okay, then you can take your time to prepare. I’ll come back in four days.”

Karasuma Renya suddenly remembered something and shouted, “Wait a minute!”

The floating Wangyue stopped moving, turned around and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Have you ever met Miyano Shiho?” asked Karasuma Renya.

It has been a long time since Miyano Shiho escaped from the institute. Gin doesn’t know how she escaped, but Karasuma Renya vaguely guessed that Shiho’s body became smaller. But later, Gin saw the god of death passing through the wall, and because the god of death would collect lifespans to help others solve problems, he thought of the mysterious disappearance of Miyano Shiho.

0 ….0

After hearing Gin’s speculation, Karasuma Renya also began to suspect this possibility.

“You want to ask if I was the one who took her out of the institute?” Wang Yue did not intend to hide anything. “I can tell you that I was the one who took her out. Do you plan to bring her back?”

When Mochizuki said this, his tone was threatening. Mochizuki had a good impression of both Miyano Shiho and Haibara Ai… and it was not just a good impression.

“Of course not… I just want to talk to her.” Karasuma Renya was a little surprised, because the god of death seemed to be protecting Miyano Shiho. Why? Aren’t gods of death emotionless?

In an instant, Karasuma Renya made a judgment in his heart: Perhaps his guess was correct, the god of death is actually a human being, just a person with supernatural powers, and even a man…

It seems that I have greatly underestimated the importance of Miyano Shiho to the organization!

“Could you arrange a meeting between me and her? I will not pursue the past. I welcome her back, no matter what conditions she puts forward.” Karasuma Renya stared at the Grim Reaper.

Wangyue thought about it and agreed, “I will tell her. As for whether she wants to see you or not, that’s her business.”

“Of course.” Karasuma Renya had already decided that he would let Miyano Shiho return to the organization no matter what. Even if she was no longer doing research, or just being worshipped as a mascot, he must let her come back!

Fortunately, Wangyue didn’t know what he was thinking, otherwise he would have definitely liked it for him.

Haibara Ai as a mascot? That’s perfect! Because she’s so cute!
