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 33 Chapter 33 He was forgotten.
After Rei Furuya left, the whole room became eerily quiet; even the clock on the wall stopped working because the batteries were dead.
Just now when we were stewing the fish, Bourbon said that after dinner we should go to the supermarket together to buy batteries to replace it.
But now that I think about it, it seems that there is really no need for this.
Anyway, they will leave here the day after tomorrow to complete a mission. After this mission is completed, Scotland will no longer come back to this safe house because he will lose the excuse of "pretending to be a lover".
Zhu Fujingguang could feel that 1207 in his mind was very uneasy.
Although this guy has no physical body, it is in my mind after all. When the emotions between each other are very volatile, I can still vaguely sense it.
But none of them spoke.
Zhu Fujing stared at the bowl of celery and lean meat soup in a daze for who knows how long. He only knew that when he finally came to his senses, the heat from the soup had disappeared.
He actually didn't think about anything, but the memories in his mind were chaotically intertwined. One second, Rei Furuya, wearing a police academy uniform, happily called him Hiro, and the next second, Bourbon cast a mocking look at him through the rearview mirror in the car.
The images of Rei Fūtani from different periods merged together and finally became the back figure that just left.
Zhu Fu Jingguang gave a very faint smile, but the smile could never reach his eyes.
Even though I had made that decision, I didn't expect it would be so painful when I really faced Rei Furuya leaving me for someone else.
Those unfamiliar pains made Zhu Fujingguang feel a little dazed: If the bullet on the rooftop had penetrated his chest, would he have felt the same way?
He picked up his chopsticks again and started eating the stewed fish in front of him.
We can't waste food - except for the bowl of celery and lean pork soup, which tasted even weirder when it got cold.
Seeing Zhu Fujing picking up his chopsticks, 1207, who was already extremely uneasy, finally couldn't help but speak: "Is this okay?"
Zhu Fujingguang only responded with a "hmm" with a rising tone at the end.
1207 also sensed its host's utterly dejected mood, but felt the current situation posed a serious threat to the core mission of "capturing Furuya Rei." It had to say something, no matter what: "Furuya is going to meet his legendary sweetheart, right? Aren't you going to follow him, or at least send some of your men along?"
The tender fish meat fully absorbed the sauce. If it hadn't been completely cold, it would probably have tasted even better.
"Zero has a strong desire to protect. For the person he really wants to protect, what I'm doing will only backfire." Unlike 1207's anxious voice, Zhu Fujingguang's voice was terrifyingly calm.
After all, he was once the most important person in Fūya Zero's protection circle.
1207 was puzzled: "So we're not going to do anything?"
Zhu Fujingguang fell silent again.
After he finished half the fish, he slowly replied, "Even if they do find it, they probably haven't seen each other for a long time, so it's inevitable that they'll feel unfamiliar. And Zero will be going on a mission abroad with me in two days. Given Bourbon's ambition, he shouldn't be so irrational as to bring his sweetheart along..."
The further he spoke, the less certain Zhu Fujingguang's tone became.
Bourbon is very career-oriented, but Rei Furuya is also very sentimental.
Before 1207 could get upset by his uncertain tone, Zhu Fujingguang added, "In any case, this mission won't be too short. After all, we have to play the emotional card. As long as Zero still wants to be with me as a couple, there will always be a chance."
1207 sighed a lot, but was finally appeased by Zhu Fu Jingguang.
In fact, it can't do anything. This little love brain system cannot decide or hinder any action of Zhu Fu Jingguang. It can only suggest and persuade for their common mission.
Zhu Fujingguang was not completely without guilt about this. He was willing to sacrifice his life for his relatives and friends and to destroy the organization, but in the end he had to sacrifice the innocent 1207.
But when he thought of the people he had to protect and his unfulfilled ideals, Zhu Fujingguang had no other choice.
After finishing his own portion, Zhu Fujingguang washed the empty dishes, but the bowl of celery and lean meat soup that remained motionless was unfortunately wasted.
Zhu Fujingguang couldn't help but be distracted for a moment: as his childhood friend, even if Zero had an emergency and had to leave before eating, as long as the matter had nothing to do with the organization, he would quickly pack the food made by Zhu Fujingguang in a lunch box and take it with him.
No matter how you think about it, it's all Zero's fault for wasting food.
Faced with this empty and quiet safe house, Zhu Fujingguang was unwilling to stay there and went out to the organization's base.
Although he had just come out of there a few days ago, considering that the code-named members of the logistics team would come to report to him tomorrow, he, as the new boss, had to do a better job of understanding them, so as not to be confused tomorrow and lose his dignity - although imitating the way the riddlers of the intelligence team spoke could avoid this problem.
Moreover, Zhu Fushigami was not really willing to leave the management of the logistics team in Rum's hands for so long.
There are not many people in the base.
But Zhu Fujingguang met two acquaintances, Chianti and Cohen.
The hot-tempered female sniper looked a little tired, even the butterfly at the corner of her eye seemed listless. She was complaining to her partner Cohen, "Is Gin crazy? There are fewer people and more tasks, but he kills one after another. Is he trying to tire me out? It's made me lose interest in even getting kills... There are tons of kills waiting for me whether I try or not."
Cohen lowered his hat and responded in a muffled voice, obviously feeling a little depressed.
It is a big taboo for a sniper to lose spirits.
Zhu Fujingguang sighed insincerely, but he was actually quite happy to directly feel the turmoil in the legendary organization.
He happened to be standing in the blind spot of the two men, so Chianti continued as he walked, "I was quite happy when I heard Scotland had returned, thinking I'd have an extra hand to help share the burden. But this traitor! He went to the logistics team! I thought he was a nice guy!"
Chianti turned the corner and came face to face with the "traitor" she had called.
Chianti: “…”
Cohen: “…”
Zhu Fujingguang raised his hand and greeted them with a gentle smile.
Chianti's expression changed for a few moments. He took another look at Zhufu Jingguang's current attire and finally sneered, "I thought you'd be dressed up like those guys in the intelligence team. Why are you still the same? If someone didn't know you, they'd think you were staying in the operations team, traitor."
Cohen tugged on her arm disapprovingly.
Zhu Fujingguang's smile froze for a moment.
When I was buying clothes before, I did forget for a moment that I had left the action team and no longer needed to lie on the ground holding a sniper rifle at any time.
He felt briefly sorry for his earlier complaints about not being able to accept Bourbon's style.
Zhu Fushigi Jingguang was not angry at Chianti's ridicule. This female sniper would indiscriminately attack people outside the action team, especially the intelligence team. When she was angry, she would even scold Gin, like just now.
So he just typed on his phone patiently, following Chianti's words, "I didn't expect to go to the logistics team, I just got assigned there. If possible, I'd rather stay with the operations team. I wonder if Gin is willing to switch roles with me?"
Chianti: “…”
She looked at him as if he were a madman, as if she were meeting Scotland for the first time: "You and Gin really have your own abnormal brains."
Zhu Fujingguang was curious: "What happened to Gin?"
Chianti curled his lips. "I don't know what's going on with Gin. He says there's a rat in the organization who's so suspicious of even the flies that pass by... I don't know if it's because of his big moves that things go wrong. Lately, I feel like nothing is going well. The budget has been tightened, and there's no one to clean up some things—"
Before she could finish her words, Cohen pulled her arm again.
Scotland is no longer a member of the action team, and given the current situation of the organization, Chianti shouldn't reveal so much to him.
Zhu Fu Jingguang knew when to stop and pretended not to know what Chianti, the big sieve, had just said. He smiled and waved goodbye to the two of them.
Following the same route as last time, Zhu Fu Jingguang entered the office of the head of the logistics team. This time, he did not look through the paper documents stored in the cabinet. Instead, he entered the confidential room and opened the confidential machine using multiple passwords.
That is the computer that processes and records the core tasks of the logistics team.
Zhu Fujingguang carefully looked through the records from November last year to the present, and indeed found that many things had changed in the past six months.
The most obvious thing is what Chianti just said, the resources allocated by the organization to each member have become less, while the resources needed for aftermath have increased.
This shows that the organization’s funding and network resources have decreased.
Even though he was hurt by Fōtani Rei's turning around and leaving an hour ago, Zhu Fushigi still couldn't help but feel happy about the results of his cooperation with Fōtani Rei over the past six months.
The chain reactions caused by those tasks that were destroyed or intercepted were far greater than imagined.
After all, whether it is political resources or economic resources, those smart people have a very keen sense of smell. It is normal to fail a mission once or twice, but frequent failures can reflect many problems.
This is a vicious cycle in organizational development.
After confirming this, Zhu Fujingguang began to prepare for his subordinates' job promotions tomorrow.
The organization base is well-equipped in all aspects and also has temporary rooms.
Zhu Fujingguang simply stayed here and dug out useful intelligence from the logistics team's pile of information.
He is a very career-oriented person and ignores time when working.
So it was already the next evening when Zhu Fujingguang met the two code-named members of the logistics team, listened to their job briefings and verified the relevant intelligence at hand.
Zhu Fujingguang, who became alone again, suddenly realized that his mobile phone had been silent since he left the safe house.
Neither Scotland's mobile phone nor the "cat's" mobile phone received any messages or calls from Furuya Zero.
"Then Mr. Cat, take a rest first. I'll call you tomorrow."
The words that Fūya Rei said yesterday morning were now clearly recalled in Zhufu Jingguang's mind.
It's been forgotten.
Whether it is Scotland or "Cat".
