Yang Xiao only hesitated for a moment before climbing down. There was another door inside the secret room. After Yato Gin opened it, Yang Xiao entered and discovered this wasn't some drug den or laboratory, but a place filled with surveillance screens and files everywhere.
The secret room was at least a hundred cubic meters, very spacious. Yang Xiao had only seen places like this on TV; he never expected such a place actually existed here.
Just then, Toga Himiko also came in. After closing the door, Yato Gin looked at the two of them and asked, "What do you want to ask?"
"What is this place? Will our lives be in danger if we leak it?" Yang Xiao asked directly. He wasn't afraid of Yato Gin killing him; his current strength was no problem against ordinary people. Based on months of observation, Yato Gin seemed like an ordinary person.
Toga remained silent. Since Yang Xiao asked first, she could just listen.
"This is the core center of the Odd Jobs Shop. In fact, the Odd Jobs Shop doesn't rely on taking ordinary requests every day, but on this place!" Yato Gin continued, "Before you two, three people have joined the core center of the Odd Jobs Shop. Those three are currently out on official business..."
"But I haven't seen the three people you mentioned in the past few months. Are they the ones who came to place orders before?" Yang Xiao asked doubtfully. He had already guessed a few things; the Odd Jobs Shop was far more complicated than he had imagined.
"No, you wouldn't know when they came back. After all, I always let you off work on time." Yato Gin chuckled.
"Gin-san, what exactly are you trying to do? Are you planning to recruit us by bringing us here?" Toga Himiko asked, narrowing her eyes.
Yang Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up. Right, now that the plot has changed, Yato Gin has recruited Toga Himiko, so she won't join the League of Villains. Everything has changed.
"That's right. Everyone who has been in the Odd Jobs Shop for more than six months and meets my observation requirements gets recruited." Yato Gin nodded and said, "Moreover, after being admitted, you must be loyal to the Odd Jobs Shop. If the secrets are leaked, no matter how close our relationship is, you will die."
Yang Xiao swallowed hard and smiled wryly, "Gin-san, I'm just a student. I can do some work and have a mediocre personality. What's your purpose in recruiting me?"
"I said, after careful observation, I include those I find useful. The three before you were just college students, not much older than you." Yato Gin waved his hand and said, "Now that you know the core of the Odd Jobs Shop, let me ask you: are you willing to join the Odd Jobs Shop?"
Yang Xiao was sure that if he said he didn't want to, Yato Gin would definitely turn hostile. Since the other party was confident enough to bring them here, he was confident he could kill them both here without being discovered.
"Of course we'll join! Toga and I will join together!" Yang Xiao said without any hesitation. This was also one of his goals. Originally, he was worried about Toga getting caught, but now that the Odd Jobs Shop had such strength, why should he hesitate?
The Odd Jobs Shop included Toga Himiko, so she had no chance to join the League of Villains. This was a good thing. Why wouldn't Yang Xiao agree?
"Yang Xiao, why are you making the decision for me?" Toga said angrily. She had no plans to join the Odd Jobs Shop because she had been invited to join another organization. Although she hadn't gone yet, she still had no intention of joining. She didn't know what that place was like, but she definitely couldn't join the core of the Odd Jobs Shop now.
From her expression, Yang Xiao could tell she seemed tempted by other personal matters. He felt even more fortunate that no matter what those matters were, they weren't as important as joining the Odd Jobs Shop right now.
Yato Gin was a little surprised that Yang Xiao had agreed to join the Odd Jobs Shop so readily. He hadn't even explained what the Odd Jobs Shop was about yet.
"There's a saying that goes, 'He who knows the times is a wise man'," Yato Gin said, quoting a Chinese proverb, and looked at Toga Himiko. Feeling Yato Gin's gaze, Toga Himiko felt a little hesitant. Should she join the Odd Jobs Shop?
Originally, she only worked at the Odd Jobs Shop to earn pocket money. After a while, she planned to voluntarily leave and join another organization. No matter what organization it was, she would never stay at the Odd Jobs Shop.
But today! She didn't know what had gotten into Yato Gin, but he actually let them in on the true core of the Odd Jobs Shop. If she quit the Odd Jobs Shop now, she didn't know if her life would be in danger.
Clearly, Yang Xiao had considered the consequences of leaving the Odd Jobs Shop, which was why he agreed so quickly. But she really didn't want to accidentally join a mysterious organization just because she'd started out making pocket money.
"Aren't I your lackey? If you don't join here, won't you be the boss?" Yang Xiao said with a smile at this moment, as if the current atmosphere didn't affect him at all.
After remaining silent for a while, Toga said, "If I don't join... what will be the consequences?"
Yato Gin said expressionlessly, "I can't guarantee it!"
"I'll join!" Toga seemed to relax and agreed to join the Odd Jobs Shop. She turned to look at Yang Xiao and said, "You really are a masochist!"
Yang Xiao was originally very happy to have Toga join the Odd Jobs Shop, but her last sentence made his face darken. Damn, did she just label me as an M?
Damn it, it was just a strategy earlier! Otherwise, she might not have joined the Odd Jobs Shop. There was no need to think about the consequences, but now I've inexplicably become a masochist?
What is a masochist? There's no need to explain; everyone understands. Yang Xiao was speechless.
Forget it, I'll correct this misunderstanding later. For now, just focus on getting Toga Himiko to join the Odd Jobs Shop.
"Hahaha!" Yato Gin laughed twice, then suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Come out."
Come out?
Yang Xiao and Toga were stunned. Just then, three people walked out from a room not far away. This secret room had six rooms, with the hall in the middle being the core.
In other words, what Yato Gin said earlier about the three members being out on missions was false. They were just waiting for them to make a decision. If they hadn't agreed to join the core center of the Odd Jobs Shop, the consequences were imaginable.
When the three people came out, Yang Xiao was completely dumbfounded. This really was a "Yorozuya," an Odd Jobs Shop!
Two women and one man. The man wore glasses, was at least 1.7 meters tall, and wore a men's kimono. In Yang Xiao's mind, the image of Shinpachi from "Yorozuya" appeared. Yes, it was this character, exactly the same. The only difference was that this guy had a black mole a few centimeters wide on his eyebrow.
Of the remaining two women, one was short, wearing a bright red cheongsam, with her hair in a bun. She had the same blue eyes and cute face as Toga. Who else could this be but "Kagura"?
The remaining woman looked about the same age as Yato Gin, also wearing a pink kimono, looking very beautiful and harmless—the counterpart to Shimura Tae, Shinpachi's sister!
This Odd Jobs Shop was truly amazing!
