When Hiromitsu was confronting Rye on the rooftop, his vision flashed, and he returned to the year he was 24.
He was still the sniper Scotland, but why did this world have six genders, and wh...
Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Good question, I don’t know either. …
Morifushi Kagemitsu dared to guarantee that when Matsuda Jinpei greeted him, Hagiwara Kenji's eyes instantly darkened, making his friendly smile look like honey mixed with poison.
Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara should be surrounded by members of the Explosion Team, all men. It seems to be an ordinary gathering after get off work, or a celebration party.
As one of the central figures, Matsuda Jinpei waved to him, and instantly everyone else turned their eyes to him.
Zhu Fujingguang: "..."
As a sniper, carrying a suspicious object on his shoulder, facing this large group of policemen, Zhu Fushigaki's muscles tensed instantly, but he still controlled his expression and nodded to Matsuda Jinpei to say hello.
The curly-haired officer seemed to have completely forgotten their last unpleasant parting, or perhaps he had really drunk a little too much as Hagiwara Kenji said. There was a look of excitement on his face that Morobushi Keimitsu had not seen in the familiar Matsuda Jinpei for a long time.
"You brought your musical instrument bag with you both times I saw you. Can you play it for me?"
Zhu Fujingguang: "..." I didn't expect that you, Matsuda, are the kind of relative who asks children to perform during festivals.
Snipers don't make a living by performing, and Zhu Fujingguang certainly doesn't either.
Moreover, the wording "twice" revealed that they had met when Kenji Hagihara was not present, and Kenji Hagihara's expression became even more kind.
But the young man with semi-long hair soon smiled even brighter. He embraced Matsuda Jinpei more intimately, and rocked his chin on his shoulder. "When did Jinpei-chan and Midorikawa-chan become so close? Kenji-chan is going to be jealous!"
A nearby police officer with a crew cut joked with a smile, "If Captain Hagiwara and Captain Matsuda weren't both alphas, I'd have suspected that Captain Hagiwara had a crush on Captain Matsuda. How could Captain Matsuda get jealous just because he said hello to someone?"
Hagiwara Kenji made an unhappy face: "Kano Kiyomoto, this is a stereotype. Kojinpei is Kojinpei. As long as it's Kojinpei, I like them regardless of gender!"
Morobushi Kagemitsu: What did I say to Matsuda last time?
He still wanted to warn Matsuda Jinpei Shao for hanging out with Hagiwara Kenji - even though it seemed like it was doomed to fail, but Morofushi Kagemitsu didn't want to go against Tennessee right now, so he smiled gently, shook his head, and declined.
As he walked past the police, he heard Jinpei Matsuda say to Kenji Hagiwara, "You should have Midorikawa's contact information, right?"
...It's okay. I'll be going to Europe soon. Tennessee won't come to Europe to kill me.
He quietly quickened his pace and left the sight of the two men. Zhu Fu Jingguang soon arrived at the first destination of his trip and quickly replaced the annual account book of the gaming company.
I went to the next block and retrieved the monitoring equipment I had left at a research institute...
During this process, he received a notice from Gin, saying that Fujiwara's researchers secretly sold the drugs, which led to insufficient concentration of some drugs.
After all, he had not been in this world for long, and Zhu Fu Jingguang did not have much to deal with. He returned to the safe house before midnight.
The next morning at four o'clock he boarded a plane to Europe.
Thankfully, this time the organization didn't exploit Scotland's labor force by asking him to do anything in the cabin or at the airport. They were even willing to pay for a first-class ticket so that he, who was sleep-deprived, could catch up on his sleep in a spacious seat.
But he was a light sleeper and woke up when he felt someone looking at him vaguely.
There aren't many people sleeping on long-haul flights, especially since the departure time is so early, so the young man sitting at the back of the bed, reading a book awake, is particularly noticeable.
He was wearing rimless glasses and the book in his hand was in Italian. Zhu Fujingguang couldn't understand it, but it seemed to be a collection of poetry.
Noticing Zhu Fujingguang's gaze, he looked back with a smile and slowly mouthed, "What's wrong, sir?"
Not wanting to disturb the other passengers resting, the young man with cat eyes signed: "Mezcal?"
The young man stared at his hand intently. After understanding the meaning, his pupils constricted at first, and then he nodded without hesitation, but the smile on his face deepened a little. "Nice to meet you, Scotland."
The "master" once told Scotland that someone would come to pick him up when he arrived in Europe, but he didn't expect that this person would be Mescal, the current head of the organization's European branch. He also didn't expect that this code-named member, whom he had never met, would actually start "picking people up" from the starting point.
Thinking of this, Scotland raised his lips and praised in sign language: "Mezcal is really hospitable."
Judging from the way Mescal was staring at his hands just now, he must have learned sign language specifically for him.
It was so sincere that Zhu Fujingguang started to get goosebumps.
Mescal shook his head slightly. "You're joking. I've heard that the Scots are capable... but you're not necessarily a guest, are you?"
Whether this was a blatant expression of his concern about his power decentralization, or perhaps a probing attempt at something else, Zhu Fu Jingguang couldn't quite figure it out, so he wouldn't answer directly. "Mescal is not only welcoming, but also humorous. I'm not a guest, so what else could I be? I'm definitely not an enemy. I'm definitely loyal to the organization."
Definitely not.
After a hypocritical exchange of business praise, Scotland didn't say anything else to Mezcal for the time being. After all, this was not a suitable occasion to discuss the organization.
Fortunately, Mezcal was not really that ignorant of how to read people's expressions. He did not harass Scotland again before the plane landed. This made Zhu Fujingguang begin to suspect that this guy just wanted to use the organization's funds to take a first-class half-day tour.
The temperature here is about the same as in Tokyo, but the weather has not been good recently. Before Zhu Fushi Jingguang got off the plane, he found that it was drizzling outside and the sky was gray, which is consistent with the current underground situation in Europe.
Mescal first took Zhufu Jingguang to the organization's base in Florence and asked him to pick out various weapons that were suitable for him. Then he turned his back and left Zhufu Jingguang to blindly select a safe house alone.
Yes, it's a blind draw. The way the base here does it is that in order not to reveal the location of other safe houses, whether the final safe house you move into is located in the city center or the wilderness, whether it is a luxurious single-family villa or a small attic in the slums, all depends on luck.
After doing all these basic things, Zhu Fujingguang turned to Mescal, who gave him a warm and hypocritical smile, and then began to take him around Italy.
Originally, Zhu Fujingguang thought that he was taking him to understand the local forces, starting from the core of Italy, after all, this opportunity happened in Italy.
As a result, this man took him past the Milan Cathedral, across the Grand Canal of Venice, and looked up at the Leaning Tower of Pisa... Just when he passed by Piazzale Michelangelo for the third time, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and faced him with a smile brighter than Mezcal.
Mezcal: “…”
He laughed out loud, "You're much more interesting than I thought. No wonder even that genius research girl with such a strong personality is willing to speak to you in a friendly manner."
What does "genius research girl" mean? Zhu Fushige Jingguang muttered to himself. He quickly connected the title with Shirley in the organization, and was shocked that Mescal, even though he wasn't at the Japanese headquarters, knew about the connection between this little-known codename member of the organization and Scotland. He didn't know where Mescal was from. He spoke fluent Japanese, but some of his words didn't quite fit the Japanese euphemisms.
However, this person came from the intelligence team, and Zhu Fujingguang was very happy to hear more information that even he himself did not know.
Apparently, the other person was thinking the same thing: "I wonder how you two met?"
Good question, I don’t know either.
Zhu Fujingguang looked at Mescal with his innocent cat eyes.
Mescal's smile froze for a tenth of a second, but as expected of the head of this organization, his communication skills were top-notch, and he quickly changed the subject. "I heard Scotland's previous partner was Ley? He got the code name very quickly, but didn't he hook up with that genius girl's sister in the beginning? Why didn't they end up together?"
That’s a great question, I still don’t know.
The innocence in Zhufu Jingguang's smile continued to increase.
Mezcal suddenly lowered his head to take a bite of a Pecorino cheese ball, then looked back up with his flawless smile and continued, "What about Bourbon? Scotland seems to be getting closer to him lately. I hear he's quite cunning and difficult to deal with."
Oh no, there is actually a question that can be answered.
Zhu Fu Jingguang nodded sadly: "He is like a fox and a wolfhound." Even he himself, who knew him so well, fell into trouble because of him.
Perhaps the emotion in his eyes was too heavy to be fake, and Mescal's tense muscles relaxed a little. "Although Bourbon, who also recently arrived, appears to be unisex, isn't there a rumor that he joined the organization to find someone? I don't know if he's truly infatuated or just pretending. I think he's mentioned this to you recently."
The rumors might be true, but Zhu Fushigami really didn't know whether the person that Furuya Ling was looking for in this world was still the female doctor, so -
Zhu Fujingguang's innocent cat eyes and innocent smile appeared together.
Mezcal said with a stiff smile that it was getting late and Scotland should go back and rest, and then ran to a street food restaurant.
The cat-eyed young man returned to the safe house alone, and his smile disappeared the moment he turned his back to Mescal.
That was simply a trap.
Regardless of whether he answered that Bourbon had mentioned it to him or not, it confirmed the previous rumor that "Bourbon was looking for someone", and also indirectly proved that Scotland did know about Bourbon in a short period of time.
But I also want to thank Mescal for giving Zhu Fujingguang some information that he himself was not aware of in order to obtain intelligence.
Shirley and her sister?... I guess I'll have to find a chance to get in touch with them after returning to Japan.
According to the map, we found the safe house - an old, small, single-family house in a remote residential area.
Zhu Fujingguang fumbled to open the lock that was about to merge with the iron door outside. Before he reached the wooden door, he found that his cell phone was vibrating.
But after he found out which phone was vibrating, he ignored it and instead quickly opened the wooden door and quickly checked whether there were other people or any monitoring or surveillance equipment before he took out his phone and called the number back.
That number belongs to Toru Amuro.
