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 2 Chapter 2 "Gin is the place where betas have equal rights...
"Aren't you and Rei Furuya a couple?!" 1207 asked again in disbelief, "Are you kidding me?"
Zhu Fujingguang and Lei walked towards the parking lot side by side, and he glanced at the long-haired man beside him.
In the past, when it was just him and Lei together, they took turns driving.
When he just left the room, Zhu Fujingguang did not see the car keys in the familiar place, which meant that it was Lei who drove the car last time, so it should be his turn to drive this time.
Unexpectedly, Lei naturally put the instrument bag in the back seat of the car, and then opened the driver's door quite consciously.
Zhu Fujingguang didn't rush to drive, so he sat in the passenger seat.
1207 had already deciphered his answer from Morobushi Kagemitsu's silence and was analyzing each point in a trance, "How could you and Furuya not be a couple... To protect your privacy, I don't have the right to view all the footage of you spending time together, but just the daily ones... Until you were assigned to dormitories at the police academy, he always slept with you in his arms when you woke up from nightmares, right? And whenever you got hurt, he would come to you to bandage it. Even after joining the organization, he would wait until Lei fell asleep or left to find you... Privately, you affectionately called each other nicknames, and a glance would tell each other's thoughts..."
He was so devastated that he seemed to want to pull himself out of Zhu Fujingguang's mind: "How! Is it possible! that you! are not! a couple!"
Zhu Fujingguang: "..."
He felt that these were just normal interactions between him and Rei Furuya, but why did they sound so weird coming from 1207's mouth?
This unnatural expression seemed to be caught by Ley: "Are you thinking about Bourbon?"
Zhu Fu Jingguang: "..." How did you know?
It had only been 20 minutes since Akai Shuichi's deafening words "I am FBI" on the rooftop. Although Morofushi Kagemitsu had decided to treat Lei with his original attitude for the time being, he couldn't help but think about the possibility that the other party was from the FBI.
Just like his identity changed from undercover to a real member of the organization, the fact that Ley on the rooftop was really an FBI does not mean that the Ley next to him now is also an FBI.
Rye was already used to Scotland's silence and continued, "Did you have a conflict with Bourbon? You looked unwell when you and Bourbon came back from outside last night, and you didn't come out to make breakfast this morning."
Zhu Fujingguang: "..." Is Lei's focus the conflict, the discomfort, or the fact that he didn't make breakfast?
He had no idea what happened between Scotland and Bourbon last night in this world, so he still didn't say anything.
Rye paused before continuing, "It's common for Alphas like Bourbon to look down on us two Betas, although I don't think he could defeat you and me. If Bourbon really goes too far and you don't want to get into a fight with him, you can talk to Gin. After all, he's never been happy with the Alphas and Omegas in the intelligence team. If your relationship is going to affect the mission, he'll stick up for you."
Zhu Fu Jingguang:?
What does this series of Greek letters represent here? Is it a new popular code name for this organization?
He didn't want Lei to notice the confusion in his eyes, so he lowered his eyelashes slightly.
But this small gesture seemed to cause Ley to misunderstand something. He was about to look away and shut up, but now he continued to persuade him: "Your little revenge is not a big deal to Bourbon. You put celery in his sandwich, and he actually ate it with a sullen face."
Zhu Fujingguang:? ?
Revenge on bourbon with a celery sandwich?
In order to avoid suspicion with Rei Furuya, he rarely used celery even when cooking in the safe house, so as not to let Lei see his preference for bourbon.
I didn't expect Lei to interpret it this way.
Zhu Fujingguang felt that it might not be a good idea for him to not express his opinion. After all, from Lei's long string of words, it can be concluded that he has a very good relationship with Scotland in this world. Otherwise, given the other party's personality, he would not say so much, and his tone is so sincere.
Just as he was about to nod in agreement, Lei changed his tone and said, "Or do you not know that Gin is actually the underground leader of the Beta Equality Movement?"
Zhu Fujingguang:???
Although he had no idea what "beta" was, this did not stop him from feeling the huge absurdity of putting the name "Gin" and the word "equal rights" together.
His head was frozen, not knowing whether he should click or not.
1207, which had crashed due to the overwhelming impact, finally reappeared. Its ethereal voice offered a diligent explanation: "I didn't have time to tell you just now, but the gender composition of this world is much more complex than your original world..."
Three minutes later, the ABO science class in 1207 ended with the sentence "You are now an Omega disguised as a Beta", successfully turning the person whose brain crashed into Zhu Fujingguang.
The public security undercover who had experienced all kinds of storms did not show any panic when he learned that he had become a real criminal. When he learned that his childhood friend was going to be targeted, he doubted his life for a while. Now this gender identity has finally become the last straw that overwhelmed Morobushi Jingguang's reason.
But after all, Lei was still by his side and had said a lot to him. Reality did not allow Zhu Fujingguang to collapse for so long.
He calmed himself down, took out the mobile phone which was mainly used for typing, typed a sentence, and pressed the read aloud function.
"I'm fine, thank you, Rye."
The emotionless robotic voice recited each word, and Lei nodded and stopped talking.
The target of their mission this time is currently in a large convention center and is a senior executive of a German company.
Lei parked the car a street away and walked into an office building with Zhufu Jingguang. That was where they would meet Bourbon, and it was also the sniper point that Lei and Scotland decided after looking at the map and discussing it.
Zhu Fujingguang remembered this mission. The target of the mission held a technology that the organization wanted, but the price was too high, so the organization decided to seize it directly.
Therefore, although Zhu Fujingguang is definitely a newcomer to this world, he is not nervous about this mission. He just needs to maintain his original caution.
The biggest problem at the moment is obviously what 1207 said, "strategy to reduce valley to zero".
Zhu Fujingguang called 1207 in his mind: "Let me confirm again, the mission you mentioned is that I want Zero to have a 100% favorable impression of me, and this favorable impression can only be from the perspective of... love?"
1207 sighed softly, "Yes, and this mission must be completed before the organization is destroyed, otherwise we're both finished... I originally thought this would be a small case, but I never expected you to say that your actions were just pure childish infatuation. Human emotions are so complicated."
Morofushi Kagemitsu felt that this was even more difficult than bringing Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei together during their time at the police academy.
That pair of children lived like a pair of conjoined twins, their behavior was much more clingy than him and Zero... right?
The originally firm conclusion became a little uneasy when I thought about the evidence just given by 1207.
Moreover, before he truly wanted to establish such a relationship with Rei Furuya, if he attacked Rei Furuya simply for the sake of saving his own life, it would undoubtedly be a harm to Rei Furuya.
And Zhufu Jingguang is the person who least wants Furuya Ling to get hurt.
In any case, this so-called strategy mission still brought great psychological pressure to Morofushi Jingguang, especially now that he was about to meet the Furuya Rei of this world for the first time, the tension almost reached its peak.
When people are nervous, a lot of messy thoughts always appear in their minds.
Zhu Fushigi Jingguang was currently wondering if this world's Furuya Rei would be willing to show some respect, perhaps considering their long-standing friendship—even though this world wasn't even sure they'd met before, since the encrypted portion of the phone didn't contain any information about Furuya Rei—and perhaps even favor him a little more...
He couldn't think any further, and an inexplicable sense of shame attacked him.
"Have a cigarette?" Just as he was daydreaming, the cigarette box was handed to Zhu Fujingguang right under his nose, and a cigarette was even considerately squeezed out of the box.
Influenced by Lei, and not wanting to appear too good a citizen, Zhu Fujingguang would also smoke when they were on missions together. At this moment, he naturally took the cigarette and lit it.
Leaning against the railing, Lei watched the tiny smoke drift in the sunlight. His green wolf eyes looked at Zhufu Jingguang with a hint of relief. "Although he can't speak, the Scotland I know is not a coward. I don't understand why you repeatedly gave in to Bourbon before. But you didn't refuse the cigarette this time because of the upcoming bourbon, which is also a progress."
Zhu Fujingguang paused with the cigarette in his hand: originally, for the sake of avoiding suspicion, he would not deliberately refuse Lei's cigarette just because he couldn't stand the smell of Bourbon.
What is the relationship between Scotland and Bourbon here?
But at the same time, he felt a little funny. Perhaps because of his aphasia, this Ley seemed to have an inexplicable desire to protect Scotland. Of course, it was not ruled out that he wanted to win him over to deal with Bourbon.
After all, the auras of these two people don't get along well. After 1207's scientific popularization, we also learned that Alpha is indeed not welcomed by some Betas.
He originally wanted to take out his phone and continue typing to talk to Lei, but then he thought that since they had a good relationship, maybe the other party could understand some sign language.
So Zhu Fushi Jingguang tried to use relatively simple sign language to tell Lei: "We are a team now, and we don't want to make things awkward."
Lei flicked the ash from his cigarette. "If you think that way, it will only make him more aggressive."
Suddenly, the sound of leather shoes was heard behind Zhu Fu Jingguang, and the other party deliberately increased the speed of his footsteps as if afraid that they could not hear.
He didn't need to look back to know who the owner of the footsteps was, just as he knew clearly who the hurried footsteps running up to the rooftop belonged to.
"Oh my, are you guys secretly saying bad things about me?"
Along with these dangerous words, 1207's confused and frustrated voice was also heard: "Furuya Rei's impression -50!"
