Chapter 71 [You are me, then who am I?]

The request to recover as soon as possible was forcefully suppressed by Agatsuma Sayuri, but the girl did not let Morobushi Kagemitsu get bored. She provided some tools and drones to restore finger flexibility.

The former would have been fine, but the appearance of the latter was beyond Zhu Fujingguang's expectations.

"Didn't you say this is private territory?"

Flying a drone without the permission of the territory owner is clearly a very disrespectful and offensive act. It is not an exaggeration to consider it a hostile and provocative act.

Agatsuma Sayuri smiled. "This place is about to become a target for exploration by the organization, so naturally, no one will stay here any longer. As for the terrain... I think Popen will thoroughly investigate the terrain and layout when he gets here."

These days, apart from the doctors treating Zhu Fujingguang and the doctors in the rehabilitation department, no one comes to this hospital anymore.

Originally, it was only open to my wife's family. Except for some cases that require expensive medical equipment, there is not much difference where the treatment is carried out.

Although the plan is for Bourbon, who knows everything about this place, who knows if the organization will take other actions?

If that were the case, then having Bourbon investigate would be the same as having them proactively pass the intelligence through Scotland. In other words, having the intelligence filtered through them before being sent out could be modified as needed, making it safer than having the "enemy" investigate.

They can even use this method to conceal less obvious facilities.

Actively withdrawing from the battlefield where the "war" is about to begin is, on the surface, a concession by my wife's family, but in subsequent plans, this can also be the first step for the family to resist the organization.

Agatsuma Sayuri had also worried that after all this time of hiding, everyone might be drawn into the struggle against the organization, revealing their true identities. Most importantly, when the "will" that controlled their fate discovered that those who should have died were still alive, would they be thrown into a new crisis of death?

There are still four years to go until the legendary first year of the School of Science, and they don't have many chips to rely on.

But Hagiwara Kenji said: "This is a joint decision."

This everyone even includes the child who went to the United States some time ago and has not yet returned to Japan.

The members of my wife's family are not necessarily good people. A large number of them had reasons for being killed in their original destiny lines - perhaps not legitimate, but they were there. Some were murderers who committed suicide after actively killing others.

Police officers like Kenji Hagiwara who died in the line of duty—pure good men—or children like Hiroki Kashimura who committed suicide due to persecution—innocent victims are actually a minority.

Therefore, when such a group was asked to choose between retreating or attacking, they all chose to attack instead of defend.

There may be people who do not want to be involved in danger, but when facing an organization, while the frontline operators are important, strong logistical support is equally important.

All we need to do is cut off the connection between the two in public, just like the organization and the Karasuma Group. Who can easily convict my wife's family?

A family whose entire family and industry are hidden in the dark is even more difficult to detect than an organization.

If we compare the Organization to my wife's family, the Organization is the clear winner. A situation where the enemy is in the dark and we are in the bright is probably a rare occurrence for the Organization.

Because of this, when my wife's family wants to take a further step, it is easier for them to act secretly than ordinary people, other organizations or officials.

So, Agatsuma Sayuri also said, "This is a decision we made together."

Zhu Fujingguang stopped asking questions and began to familiarize himself with the operation of the drone. His rehabilitation was systematic, and although he had some free time, he could not move as easily as an ordinary person, nor could he have the high-altitude vision of a drone.

With more convenient tools, Zhu Fujingguang would not waste meaningless time by putting all his energy into rehabilitation.

Bourbon was expected to sneak in this Sunday, and their time was limited, so the two quickly immersed themselves in their work and stopped talking.

Although Sayuri Agatsuma handed the drone to Keimitsu Morobushi, she herself was measuring the land with her own feet.

After Morofushi Kagemitsu was almost able to walk on his own, Agatsuma Sayuri explored the territory of the Agatsuma family in her time besides taking care of Morofushi Kagemitsu and updating him.

She is different from trained police officers. She cannot have an intuitive experience by simply watching videos or pictures.

And today, the last day before the operation, Zhu Fujingguang has completely memorized the map and facilities of this private territory.

Therefore, the public security officer, whose movements were no longer as stiff as when he just woke up, took the girl's hand and explained to Agatsuma Sayuri the points to pay attention to when taking action in a language more familiar than the owner of this territory himself.

He repeatedly asked my wife, Sayuri, "Do you really want to stay here? It's normal for a hospital like this to be deserted at night."

They were not yet sure whether Bourbon would act alone.

Until the end of the operation, if the organization wants to increase the number of participants, Bourbon has no reason to refuse.

Maybe he had before, but he really delayed this task for too long...

"I've tried so hard to find you. Wouldn't it be strange if I suddenly disappeared without a trace and it wasn't because I found you?"

"That's better than being seen directly by the organization..."

The girl put her index finger on the man's lips to stop him from finishing his words.

Her unmade-up face held a resolute expression, and her red lips parted slightly: "Even if it doesn't happen this time, there will be a next time. I can't give up on you."

Even if everything is over, Morofushi Kagemitsu forms a new family and has a happy ending, Agatsuma Sayuri will never give up loving Morofushi Kagemitsu.

This might be a bit paranoid, a bit stubborn, and it's no surprise that she was called love-brained. But she had liked this man for over twenty years in the real world. It wasn't love, and there was no possibility of a happy ending back then, but she still liked him so much.

In this carefree world, if I can't fight for him, then what is the meaning of this love?

She is not the Ye Gong who loves dragons.

For some reason, Morofushi Kagemitsu felt that he was always easily persuaded by Agatsuma Sayuri when facing her.

No matter how many new reasons he brought up, as long as the girl looked at him with such enthusiasm or even fanaticism, he would find it difficult to continue.

It is obvious that the public security mission has nothing to do with the ordinary person Agatsuma Sayuri. Even if Agatsuma Sayuri is a member of the Agatsuma family that sounds very powerful, it cannot be denied that she and the entire Agatsuma family are ordinary people.

After repeated attempts to persuade him failed, he finally had no choice but to admit his failure in words.

"I understand... I will apply to the Public Security Bureau to include you and your family in the list of collaborators."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Fu Jingguang felt that he caught a glimpse of some reflected light from the corner of his eye, which flashed by.

Normally, a sniper would subconsciously mistake this kind of light for the reflection of a scope. But after spending so much time with Agatsuma Sayuri, Morofushi Keimitsu's first reaction was to the sequins on some of her clothes.

He immediately looked in the direction where the light came from, and sure enough, he saw a bright color hidden under the lush trees.

"...Sayuri, do you know anyone else with a similar makeup style to yours? Someone who might come here?"

Agatsuma Sayuri followed Morobushi Keimitsu's gaze and replied in confusion, "No. I occasionally pester the employees at the milk tea shop to wear character costumes, but they're a bit different from my usual attire."

Zhu Fujingguang stretched out his hand to block in front of my wife Sayou, signaling her to hide behind him. He then picked up a longer branch on the side of the road and moved forward stealthily towards the suspicious place.

Before I could see the other person clearly, the voice had already come over.

It was not a woman's voice, but the voice of a classmate in the police academy that Zhu Fujingguang was very familiar with.

【Hagiwara? 】

No, even the undercover Morifushi Kagemitsu knew that Hagiwara Kenji had passed away three years ago. He had even visited his grave with his classmates from the police academy to pay tribute.

But this voice...

The man frowned, feeling bitter.

Is there someone in my wife's family whose voice is so similar to Kenji Hagiwara's?

Agatsuma Sayuri didn't know Hagiwara Kenji and had lost her memories of the past, so it was understandable that she didn't recognize the voice. But how could Morifushi Keimitsu forget such a recognizable voice?

Even if that person is not a close friend like Rei Furuya who has been with him for more than 20 years, they are still people who can be trusted in the police academy.

In his life of only 25 years, apart from Rei Furutani, there have only been those three people.

In his confusion, he took a wrong step as he dived forward and stepped on a dead branch.

This seems like a plot from an old TV drama, but it actually happened in real life.

"who?"

The voice that questioned this time was no longer Hagiwara Kenji, but a voice that was familiar to both Agatsuma Sayuri and Morofushi Kagemitsu. Morofushi Kagemitsu even turned around suddenly and looked at the girl who was following closely behind him.

My wife Sayuri's expression of surprise didn't seem fake.

Zhu Fujingguang asked with his mouth: "Do you have sisters?"

My wife Sayuri was almost shaking her head like a rattle. She looked panicked and ran a few steps towards the direction where the sound came from.

The branches of the trees intertwined in her path, and as the winding path came to an end, the green that blocked her view quietly faded away.

A girl wearing a brightly colored long skirt with a huge bow tied with gold thread at the back of her waist and a full circle of crystal pendants, and with heavy makeup that made her face almost unrecognizable, stood at the end of their path.

Her height, figure, even her makeup and clothing style are all very similar to that of the former Agatsuma Sayuri.

"Who are you?" asked Agatsuma Sayuri without makeup.

Agatsuma Sayuri, who was wearing makeup, sighed and didn't answer the question. Instead, she looked behind the girl opposite and said, "Kagemitsu, come out. Don't go over there anymore. If you get injured before the action, it will be difficult for you, right?"

After saying that, she waved behind her and said, "Come out. Shouldn't you have thought of this possibility when you decided to come here, Hagiwara?"

Hagiwara Kenji reluctantly left his hiding place and stood two steps behind the girl, cowering like a puppy waiting to be scolded after making a mistake.

The cat-eyed man, now sporting a mustache, slowly emerged from the bushes that had deviated from the path. Judging from his direction, if Hagiwara Kenji didn't emerge in time, he would have been caught.

For a moment, both the girl without makeup and the police officer were filled with doubts and confusion.
