Chapter 383

Upon hearing the first sentence, Morofushi Kagemitsu was quite nervous. Upon hearing the second sentence, he began to feel angry. However, upon hearing the third sentence, his anger was mixed with a trace of doubt and suspicion.

As the brain analysis came online, Morofushi Kagemitsu's expression gradually changed from serious and murderous to calm, and even his eyes gradually became lifeless.

Although the sounds outside were indeed unfamiliar, the strange words had that familiar style...

Morofushi Kagemitsu was silent for a moment, then took out his phone and dialed Usaku Saiki's number.

The familiar ringtone sounded outside the door.

Zhu Fujingguang sighed.

He was utterly speechless! What kind of time is this, and Usoppō Saiki is still playing around!

Now it was Usaku Saiki's turn to fall silent, having forgotten to turn his phone off.

He silently withdrew his hand from the peephole, then looked at Morofushi Kagemitsu with a reproachful gaze as he finally opened the door.

Morofushi Kagemitsu frowned, quickly reached out and pulled Usaku Saiki into the house, then closed the door: "Are you alone?"

Although the suspicion points were only accumulated in the few minutes from when the doorbell rang until just now, the amount was quite substantial. Now, Bo Yezaki is in a much better mood, speaks more pleasantly, and is more receptive to others' advice.

"If you think there aren't enough people, I can call Gin over right now."

That means Gin doesn't know yet.

Although Morofushi Kagemitsu already knew, he was finally able to relax a little after receiving confirmation.

However, it's impossible to completely relax. If Usakabe Saiki can come to us, who knows if others can?

Morofushi Kagemitsu asked curiously, "How did you know I was here?"

Knowing the reason, he could then find a way to remove the traces...

Usakabe Saiki: "Your location is immediately apparent in my mind."

Morofushi Kagemitsu: "...It's divination again, isn't it?"

Well, it's not like Bo Ye Saiki has been acting so mysteriously for the first time... But then again, Bo Ye Saiki is indeed very good at "finding the way," he can find it, but the others in the organization may not be able to.

Usoppei ignored that topic and got down to business: "Have you contacted the Japanese Public Security Bureau?"

"No," said Zhu Fujingguang helplessly. "Do you think I'm that stupid? I know there are undercover agents in the Public Security Bureau."

Of course, he wanted to wait until he was sure it was safe before quietly returning, lest his colleagues who came to meet him were actually members of the organization trying to assassinate him.

Usoppō asked again, "What about Bourbon?"

Mentioning his childhood friend, Morofushi Kagemitsu also looked worried: "No, it's not a good time to contact him now."

Although in the eyes of the organizers, Scotland and Bourbon had a fairly good relationship because they were in the same batch of people who had been tortured by Potts' interview, now that he has exposed his undercover identity, no matter what the reason, those who are close to him will probably be investigated. At this time, cutting off contact is the best choice for both parties.

Especially since Usoppon Saiki once said that Bourbon was an undercover agent... Sigh...

Just as Morofushi Kagemitsu was getting into the mood, he looked up and saw Usaba Saiki's beaming face, and his emotions instantly became disjointed: "What are you so happy about?"

“Some good news,” said Bo Yezai. “And a suggestion, which I hope you can agree to—could you refrain from contacting Bourbon and the Public Security Bureau for the time being?”

Morofushi Kagemitsu was somewhat puzzled: "What if I don't agree..."

"Then you'll regret it."

Morofushi Kagemitsu fell silent.

If anyone else had said such a thing, Morofushi Kagemitsu wouldn't have been so cautious. The problem is that it was Usaba Saiki who said it.

I always feel that if I refuse, something bad might really happen.

After much deliberation, Morofushi Kagemitsu figured that since Usaku Saiki had tipped him off about his exposure, he must be on their side, right? He probably wouldn't betray him, would he?

"...I understand. I was going to be observing from the shadows for a while anyway, so agreeing to your request is fine."

Before the spy within the Public Security Bureau is exposed, he will be targeted and silenced when he returns. As for Zero... Zero will understand him.

Furuya Rei can understand Morofushi Kagemitsu, but he cannot understand Usaku Saiki.

As a member of the intelligence team, he received a message from Rum in the middle of the night, saying that a rat had been exposed.

Rum said, "The action team needs support. Bourbon, go check on them."

Bourbon didn't think much of it at the time and casually asked, "Who is it?"

Rum: "Scotland."

Bourbon instantly snapped to attention: "Scotland? He's an undercover agent? Where is he from?"

"Japanese Public Security Bureau."

Bourbon persisted, "Did Potneys say that? Did Scotland offend him recently?"

Rum casually remarked, "He is indeed involved, but in any case, the evidence that Scotland is a Japanese Public Security agent is irrefutable... If he wasn't, why would he run away before the investigation results are out?"

Perhaps too lazy to explain, Rum sent Bourbon to ask someone else for details.

Upon first hearing this, Bourbon thought that Usopp had finally succeeded in reporting Scotland—perhaps the word "expose" was used at this time.

But then I thought, this shouldn't be happening!

Now that Scotland has been reported and driven away, who's going to clean up after Usopp Saiki?!

Based on this, it can be inferred that even if Usoya Saiki had the evidence that he was an undercover agent and killed him, he wouldn't have gone out of his way to expose Scotland!

Bourbon, filled with doubt, went to find Vodka.

Vodka had just finished his busiest period and was sprawled on the sofa, not even bothering to greet Bourbon when he came over, and continued lying there.

Bourbon stood in front of him and asked, "What's going on?"

Vodka said weakly, "Scotland... is an undercover agent..."

Looking at Vodka's sorrowful expression, Bourbon almost thought that Vodka, rather than himself, was the person closest to Morofushi Hiromitsu in the organization.

So he suppressed his anxiety, maintained his persona, and said sarcastically, "I know Scotland is an undercover agent, otherwise what would I be doing here? But why are you so upset that Scotland is an undercover agent?"

Vodka replied painfully, "You understand nothing..."

One by one, the undercover agents identified by that brat Bo Yezaki have been confirmed. What if one day he and his older brother also become undercover agents?

He had no idea he was an undercover agent for any organization! He was so wronged!

He knew his own situation, but he couldn't be sure about his older brother's...

Sigh, he's under so much pressure.

etc.

Vodka suddenly looked up at Bourbon: "No, you should know, you were also accused of being an undercover agent by Potts, right? He said you were from where?"

Bourbon became alert and said with a fake smile, "Bottenis also said that Gin is an undercover agent."

Vodka didn't want to talk anymore.

Bourbon sat on the armrest of the sofa and asked inquiringly, "How come the report by Potts went so smoothly this time? They didn't find any problems before."

Vodka replied wearily, "It's a long story. Because during the last mission, Potts went to a cat café..."

Bourbon: "...???"

By the time Usakata Saiki finally arrived to join the fun, Bourbon had already figured out the situation. While helping out, he naturally asked Vodka to share intelligence about Scotland's whereabouts with him at any time.

Of course, there is no information available at the moment.

However, for Bourbon, no news was good news, as it at least confirmed that Morofushi Kagemitsu was not dead.

So when Usakabe Saiki arrived, Bourbon wasn't actually in a bad mood, but he hid it well, pretending to be upset that "the organization actually had a traitor, and it was someone I knew. I feel like I've been fooled."

Bo Yezaki sat heavily on the sofa, his massive body jolting slightly from the impact.

"Hey, isn't this Vodka? You look terrible, didn't you sleep well?" The kind-hearted Usakawa asked about his colleague's health.

Vodka: "…………"

Can you please stop asking questions you already know the answer to?! You're clearly a heavy sleeper!

The premise of not sleeping well is that you need to sleep! If an undercover agent escapes in the middle of the night, and he's the second-in-command in charge of the arrest, how could he dare to sleep? Even if he were allowed to sleep, he wouldn't be able to!

Vodka remained silent, and Bo Ye Saiki, unfazed by being ignored, turned to greet Bourbon: "You too, you look like you haven't slept well. How come everyone is so careless about their health?"

Bourbon was more straightforward: "Because I was working overtime in the middle of the night."

He now knows that during the previous mission involving Ireland, Scotland sent a message to the Japanese Public Security Bureau, which was discovered by an insider, leading to the organization's investigation. It has little to do with Usakata Saiki.

In this situation, what Usaku Saiki says will not affect the outcome. Although his re-identification of Scotland after many years has indeed caused a negative impact, considering Usaku Saiki's personality... it would be strange if he said nothing.

So Bourbon was emotionally conflicted for several hours yesterday, but now he is very calm when facing Usaku Saiki. He is even thinking about trying to get some information out of Usaku Saiki, hoping that Usaku Saiki might know something.

Bo Yezhai kindly offered his advice.

"There's no need to push yourself so hard. Your health is your own responsibility. If you all die from overwork, and you all live under assumed names, who will even receive the compensation?"

Bourbon: "...That makes a lot of sense. Don't say that again."

"I have a way to solve your problem," Bo Yezaki said to himself. "Here's what we'll do: you secretly tell me what organizations you belong to, and after you die, I'll help you get your compensation money to your families, and I guarantee I won't embezzle it..."

Vodka, who was initially too exhausted to argue with Usakabe Saiki, felt a surge of inexplicable strength upon hearing this, and couldn't help but speak up: "—You're just trying to trick us into revealing our identities!"

Bo Yezaki frowned: "Are you that afraid of me finding out your identity? So what organization are you an undercover agent for?"

Vodka: "..."

Bourbon patted Vodka on the shoulder: "Why can't you learn your lesson?"

Vodka choked up and couldn't speak.

After all these years, why is Usakabe Saiki suddenly claiming he's an undercover agent again? Hasn't he gotten tired of this trick yet?

It's all Scotland's fault! Not only did she deceive his feelings, she also revived Usui Saiki's bad habits!

In the past few years, apart from saying that his elder brother was like an undercover agent, Bo Yezhaiji has hardly said anything about others!

At this point, because he was fully aware of each other's identities and had a sense of belonging to one of them, Bourbon's emotions became much more stable, and he was able to communicate normally with Usui.

"Potnis, do you have any leads on the whereabouts of Scotland?"

Usoya Saiki took out a tarot deck: "Let me do a divination."

Bourbon: "..."

Vodka: "..."

Both of these mature adults had a lot to say, but remembering Bo Yezaki's previous eccentric manner, they both remained subtly silent.

Bo Yezaki quickly set up the tarot deck on the coffee table, and after muttering some incomprehensible words to onlookers, he turned over the tarot cards one by one.

“Hmm…” Usakabe Saiki fell into deep thought.

"What happened? What was the result?"

Vodka urged impatiently, as if he had just cursed Usoya Saiki for being pretentious—but what could he do? Usoya Saiki's many things could only be explained by intuition and divination!

Usakabe Saiki succinctly stated: "The divination results indicate that Scotland is now dead."

Bourbon's pupils suddenly contracted.

...Dead? You must be kidding me.

However, when it comes to judging people, aside from deliberately targeting Gin, Usoppō Saiki has never made any mistakes...

At this moment, Bourbon's previously relaxed state of mind began to waver violently.

—Although he still trusted his childhood friend's abilities, the extent of Usoya Saiki's strangeness was something he couldn't think about too much!

System: 【…Your lie is way too perfunctory…】

What? A simple divination and they say someone is dead? The problem is, vodka is one thing, but even someone as rational as Bourbon was somewhat swayed by Usopp Saiki's nonsense.

What has Bourbon been through all these years...?

Usoppō Saiki: [Who's lying! I already said, according to the divination, Scotland is dead! It's not like I knew Scotland was dead!]

system:【…………】

Looking at Usakabe Saiki, who could always find a reasonable and satisfactory excuse, it suddenly felt a little uneasy.

That kid Bo Ye... he probably lied to it a lot too, right?

I went to the dentist for a follow-up appointment today, so I didn't get to update.

Thin Leaf: Divination indicates Scotland is dead

It is indeed the result of a divination. Tell me if it's true or not.

.

Bourbon: Scotland... is dead...

Jingguang, who later learned of this, said: "You actually believed it back then."

Bourbon: ...Just a little bit!!!
