Chapter 49 Chapter 49 Survive, my love...
After Bourbon left, the weekend mission also came to an end.
An You was lying in the empty villa, thinking that too much space was not good either, as it lacked the lively atmosphere of home. Of course, the main reason was that there were too few living things in the house.
His energy could only be temporarily diverted to raising the dog. In the morning, he took the dog to take a bath, and in the afternoon, he took the dog to buy dog food. Most of the time was spent on decorating the new villa and buying suitable furniture. In short, he was immersed in his new home and had a lot of fun.
In the newly renovated villa, the original wooden windows in the living room were removed and replaced with large glass floor-to-ceiling windows. The bright natural light shines through the windows and he can see the ocean in the distance. Large expanses of blue, surging waves, and the occasional passing tram make up the scenery outside his window.
He had no time to join the organization, and his sniper skills had declined. He was so busy that two months had passed.
When the puppy grew up a little, An You remembered that he should visit his original owner, Kenji Hagiwara.
However, he didn't know whether the other party was at home at this time, so he could only make a phone call to test it out, but unexpectedly, the call didn't go through.
This is strange, since Kenji doesn't seem like the type of person who is bad at socializing over the phone.
After waiting for a while, a text message came to my phone: "I'm defusing a bomb in a residential building in Beika Town. I'm having some trouble."
The system text that had been silent for a long time finally came into play.
[Warning: Character Kenji Hagiwara is about to fall into life-or-death danger. Do you choose to rescue him?]
An You was stunned for a moment. There was also a life-threatening situation. Without hesitation, he answered, "Yes."
An You replied, "It's such a dangerous case, why didn't you call me? Wait, I'll be there soon."
"Wait, Anyou, you're not planning on joining in the fun! This is a bombing scene, it's dangerous!"
As for Hagiwara Kenji's reminder, An You completely ignored it.
After picking up the dog and hailing a taxi, An You rushed to Hagiwara Kenji's place.
Stopping at a tall building, he unexpectedly saw Song Tianzhenping first. He seemed to be talking on the phone. "Hmm, what's going on? The criminal has placed bombs in two places at the same time. I see. I will deal with the other one. Please pay attention to the criminal's actions."
After hanging up the phone, he finally looked up and saw An You, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, "Why are you here?"
An You looked around and said, "I'm here to help. Hagiwara Kenji said he met the bomber. Where is he? Where is he?"
Matsuda Jinpei: "We haven't caught them yet. We're just searching for them. Of course, the most important thing is to dismantle the bomb."
An You: "Oh, I seem to understand something? But it seems I don't understand anything."
Matsuda Jinpei was speechless for a while, "Forget it, you can make trouble later, wait until we solve the trouble here first."
An You: "Who is making trouble? I'm not making trouble!"
Matsuda Chenping was startled by his loud voice, "...Good, good, you didn't make any trouble."
"I'll call Yan Er first to ask about the situation."
An You: "Wait, I'm old, weak, and disabled, let me ask first."
Matsuda Jinpei: “.”
Where exactly are the old, weak, sick and disabled people manifested?
An You quickly called Hagiwara Kenji, "Hello, Moshi Moshi, how are you doing?"
Hagiwara Kenji just laughed, "Hahaha, I didn't expect that you would be the last person to call me."
An You: "Because I took priority in making the call."
Hagiwara Kenji: "...What?"
An You: "It's okay. Did you dismantle the bomb smoothly? I'll bring Wangcai to see you. You must survive. My dog can't live without a godfather."
Hagiwara Kenji: "Pfft, don't act like I'm going to die at any moment. Don't worry, this little bomb won't faze me."
An You: "Really? Wait, someone's eavesdropping nearby. I'll go away."
Jinpei Matsuda was accused of eavesdropping. He just happened to be standing there, how could he have eavesdropped? It was so unfair. It was really hard to explain.
After making sure no one could hear the conversation, An You whispered, "How is it going now?"
Hagiwara Kenji: "Hiss, no big problem, just ran into some trouble, this style bomb."
An You: "Ah? Which floor are you on?"
Hagiwara Kenji: "Um, the 90th floor, what's going on?"
An You: "Wait for me, I'll be there soon."
Hagiwara Kenji: "Wait a moment, don't be willful, it's really dangerous here. We are still searching for the bomb upstairs, and we don't know when it will explode."
The entrances and exits of the residential building have been temporarily blocked, with signs warning "Danger, No Entry" placed on the ground. Most of the residents have been evacuated, and the police are still conducting a detailed headcount check.
It’s not easy to get in.
After all, it has been listed as a dangerous area.
But if he doesn't go in, how can he know the specific situation?
An You patted Wangcai and said, "I want to go in. Do you have any ideas, Wangcai?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wangcai seemed to understand and ran straight to the small river beside the road, barking and jumping into the water with a splash, which attracted people's attention. The police were also attracted and asked what happened.
Wangcai, a good dog, very smart. Thumbs up jpg.
While they were turning around, An You slipped into the residential building and pressed the elevator button to go directly to the top floor.
While the elevator was running, An You suddenly heard a cry.
Is there anyone else in the residential building?
It seemed like she was on the 8th floor. An You pressed the button for the nearest 10th floor, took the elevator down again, and walked in the corridor. Sure enough, the crying sound was more obvious. An You looked inside through the cat's eye.
I saw a child about ten years old, curled up on the sofa and crying loudly.
An You knocked on the door and said, "Hey, kid, are you home alone?"
The child heard the noise and ran to the door, which was within the peephole. The child didn't understand anything and just cried with snot and tears.
"Woo woo woo, I'm the only one home."
An You: "Did you know there was a bomber in the residential building?"
"Yeah. But I can't get out, I can't reach the doorknob wuuuuuuuuuuuu."
A ten-year-old child is at the age when he or she is dependent on his or her parents. When he or she encounters difficulties, he or she cannot think of other solutions at the first time and is just afraid.
An You stood outside the door and gave him some advice, "Don't worry, find a higher stool and come over."
Although the child didn't understand, he still tried his best to move a bigger stool, and then asked in confusion, "Brother, what next?"
An You estimated his height and thought it was OK. "Then step on the bench and turn the doorknob."
The child cooperated and followed his instructions, and came out smoothly, allowing An You to enter the room.
The child was still crying. An You looked at the helpless child, feeling helpless and heavy-hearted. She grabbed the child's shoulders and asked, "Where are your family? Why are you the only one left?"
The child cried and complained, "Mom and Dad went back to the countryside to live with my grandmother, so I sneaked down here to stay at home and watch TV."
An You had a headache. "Do you still remember your parents' phone number?"
The child shook his head vigorously.
As soon as An You learned about the other party's specific situation, she no longer cared about Kenji Hagiwara. On one hand, there was Kenji's safety, and on the other hand, there was the life and death of a strange child.
I have an unbearable headache, but I feel that time is running out.
Faced with a dilemma, An You still chose to carry the little brat downstairs.
An You stood between floors and pressed the button for the floor she was supposed to go to. Only when the number on the display screen changed to zero did An You breathe a sigh of relief and throw the child out of the elevator. "I've helped you to the end. I'll go find the police for help right away."
After watching the child leave his sight, An You returned to the elevator and rushed back to look for Hagiwara Kenji. Time was running out, but he had to see the person.
When An You saw Kenji Hagiwara in a residential building, she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was intact. She was glad that he was okay.
Many other explosives officers were surrounding Hagihara Kenji, all waiting for the results. When Anyou came up, she saw Hagihara Kenji, who was dismantling the bomb in a gentle and casual manner. "It looks like there's no problem."
"Ah, you still came here, knowing how dangerous it is here."
An You rushed to his side and asked, "How is it? What happened? Are you safe?"
Kenji Hagiwara's forehead was still sweating. When he saw Anyou, he seemed to be relieved. "Of course it's no problem. It's a very common bomb."
Kenji Hagiwara tightened the screws while keeping an eye on the timer. With four minutes remaining, time was running out. With the threat of death looming, everyone was on edge. Even under the high-pressure situation, they could only try to remain calm. While dismantling the machine, he asked Anyou, "Do you recognize these red and blue lines?"
An You shook her head, "I don't know him."
Hagiwara Kenji smiled. "These are the wires of the bomb. The main thing is to find the correct connection source so that we can cut the line. Yeah, it's almost done. As long as we cut the last wire, we can stop the power supply."
[High-risk warning: The bomb can still be remotely controlled even after the power is cut off. The bomb will resume its timer in two minutes. Players are requested to leave the scene immediately.]
An You: “.” No, for real. Wait a minute, he needs to tell Hagiwara Kenji.
An You grabbed his wrist and said, "Wait, don't cut it yet. Even if you stop, it will explode later."
Hagiwara Kenji hummed, seeming a little incredulous.
An You just remembered that she forgot to ask some questions, "By the way, give Matsuda Jinpei a call, I have something to ask him."
Kenji Hagiwara did as he was told, and the phone was answered after only one ring, which saved them even more time.
Matsuda Jinpei: "How's your situation? Oh, An You is here. He called you before I did. You should have known about it, but in the blink of an eye, he disappeared."
Hagiwara Kenji: "It's here with me."
Matsuda Jinpei nearly choked on his saliva. "He was there, at the explosion scene. He was just a little brat, not wearing a bomb suit and couldn't defuse a bomb. What was he doing there? Was he going to die?"
An You: "I heard you say bad things about me."
Matsuda Jinpei coughed twice and said, "What I said is also true."
Hagiwara Kenji: "I don't know what the situation is, but I will do my best to get Anyou out."
An You looked up and said, "I'm afraid it's too late. Oh, I forgot to ask Matsuda-kun, have the people downstairs in the building been evacuated?"
"The radio and TV stations were all announcing the news, and the crowd had already been evacuated. Now only the police are guarding it. What's going on?"
An You nodded, "Okay, give it to me."
He grabbed the bomb from Hagiwara Kenji's hand, held it in his palm, ran to the window, and opened it. He stood by the window, the wind blowing his clothes fiercely.
An You's face was filled with guilt. He was so invincible when it came to sneak attacks because they were more direct than slowly defusing bombs.
The metal shell of the bomb felt cold and hard in his palm. An You's fingers trembled slightly as they brushed across the rough surface. It was this kind of dangerous thing that proved difficult to grasp. He took a deep breath, the air surging through his chest carrying a faint scent of blood, as if the air itself had frozen. A subtle ticking sound reached his ears, the countdown.
"One, two, three! Go!"
His fingers clenched violently, his knuckles turning white from the strain, and the muscles in his arms tensed like bowstrings. His eyes were as cold as a knife, and deep within his pupils he reflected the tiny digital display on the bomb, its red dot flickering like the eyes of a demon.
An You didn't hesitate. She flicked her wrist violently, and the bomb drew a sharp arc in the air and hit the open space in the distance.
"Bang--!"
The sound of the explosion tore through the silent air, flames shot up into the sky, and the hot air waves rolled up dust, like a huge palm slapping An You hard.
His body swayed slightly, and the ground beneath his feet trembled. The vibration from the soles of his shoes made his ankles numb. The smell of gunpowder penetrated his nose, pricking his throat. He squinted his eyes and looked forward through the smoke.
Kenji Hagiwara's phone almost slipped from his hands. His fingers subconsciously tightened, his fingertips tightly gripping the edge of the phone.
Matsuda Jinpei's voice came to my ears, his deep voice carrying a hint of anxiety: "Hello? Kenji? What's going on?"
But Hagiwara's eyes were fixed on Anyou's back, his throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn't utter a word.
"Hagiwara Kenji! Speak!"
Kenji Hagiwara hung up the phone and looked at An You who was standing in the smoke and dust. His back was straight as a pine tree, but his shoulders were trembling slightly.
His breathing was rapid and his chest heaved, as if he had just emerged from a fierce battle.
"The bomb has exploded. Everyone, please leave. I'll finish up here." Hagiwara Kenji first gave instructions to the other demolition police with a smile. After everyone disappeared, he stepped forward like a ghost and said leisurely, "So that's what you had in mind."
An You felt a little weak, so she found a stool to sit down and rest. "What are these ideas?"
There was a hint of resentment in Hagiwara Kenji's eyes. He silently put his arms on the chair, forming a semi-encircled motion.
His voice was low, filled with suppressed annoyance and disbelief, "Do you know how dangerous that was?"
An You suddenly interrupted, "I don't know."
Hagiwara stopped beside him and turned to look at him, his brows furrowed and his eyes complicated. "You naughty brat, sometimes I really want to teach you a lesson and make you realize how risky your actions were—"
An You, however, didn't take it seriously and smiled happily, "We are out of danger. To celebrate, you should treat me to a meal."
Kenji Hagiwara looked at his playful face and realized that too much anger is harmful to one's health.
But he still pinched An You's face and said, "Okay, I'll treat you to a meal to celebrate our survival."
Kenji Hagiwara helped An You down the stairs, but before he got down, he ran into Jinpei Matsuda who was hurrying up.
Matsuda Jinpei was holding Wangcai in one hand while waiting at the elevator entrance. When he saw the people coming out of the elevator, he looked surprised and asked, "Are you two okay?"
An You: "Of course. Who am I? I can defeat two people with my own strength."
Matsuda Jinpei: "Haha, you hung up on me without saying a word!"
An You felt guilty.
Hagiwara Kenji tried to smooth things over, "Well, the situation was quite urgent at the time, and I completely forgot about those things. It's not too late for you to know that we are still safe."
An You lowered his gaze and saw his dog. He reached out and rubbed the dog fiercely, "Wangcai was picked up by you."
Matsuda Jinpei: "Well, he's been waiting for you in the shade downstairs, so I brought it with me."
The dinner was held at Hagihara Kenji's house, where he would normally cook. We had originally planned to go to an izakaya, but we were worried about people getting drunk and sleeping on the street, so we decided to have the dinner at home.
With two more people in the room, popularity naturally increased. Matsuda Jinpei was immersed in the game PK, and An You was dragged into joining him. "I don't want to play now, oops."
Matsuda Jinpei: "Stop messing with your puppy. You're almost pulling all the fur off its body. Besides, pets are not as fun as games."
Being dragged over to play with him, Matsuda Jinpei was not the type to carefully observe the situation and lose by chance. He was very keen on beating up Anyou's villains, and at the critical moment, he laughed out loud, "So you don't know how to play."
"I thought you were pretty good at gaming."
An You: Angry. Fists hardened.
People are no longer able to do it!
After being abused for two rounds, Kenji Hagiwara stood behind them.
"We can do this here." A pair of hands reached out and wrapped him between the chest and arms.
An You maintained her stubbornness and said, "I'm not a noob. I just haven't shown my true strength yet."
Hagiwara Kenji couldn't help laughing, "Okay, okay, I got it."
"By the way, Xiao Chen Ping, please buy me some sake. We ran out of wine at home last time."
After sending everyone away with a smile, Hagiwara Kenji finally had time to pay attention to Anyou again, "How was it? Did you enjoy your dinner at my house?"
An You dropped the controller in her hand and said, "It's okay."
"You can refuse if you don't want to play games. After all, I still think you are more suitable to play with me."
Kenji Hagiwara pinched his cheek and thought for no reason that the boy's face was indeed soft and moist, and felt delicate to the touch.
An You was so confused by the touch that she turned around and bumped into Hagi Kenji's palm, "I want to play with you, but you don't have time now."
"Indeed, but wait until I cook dinner. You can come and play with me when you have time."
An You rubbed his palm, feeling relieved. "Yeah, I get it. I'll definitely contact you next time."
Hagiwara Kenji touched his face and pinched it lovingly, "I already knew that. Don't do that next time."
An You rubbed his clothes and said, "I know."
At the dinner table, Hagiwara Kenji asked worriedly, "Can you drink?"
An You: "Yes, of course not."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was given a sip of beer.
After three rounds of drinks, An You tried drinking at someone else's house for the first time. He was completely drunk and the three of them were getting more and more excited. It was also the first time for An You to experience this kind of free drinking and dining. He put one foot on the chair and smiled wildly, "Hahaha, I want to drink, what's your business about bourbon?"
Hagiwara Kenji, who was also a little tipsy, asked: "Who is Bourbon?"
An You also responded confusedly: "Bourbon is Bourbon."
In the end, the three of them lay together on the floor, and they had no energy to pay attention to their sleeping positions. An You only remembered that she was sleeping next to Hagiwara Kenji.
With his last bit of strength, Kenji Hagiwara removed Matsuda Jinpei's thighs that were pressing on him, fumbled on the floor for a while before finding An You's thin young body, pulled him over, and hugged him to sleep.
It’s really more comfortable to hold the little guy.
And An You, who was sleeping soundly, didn't feel squeezed at all, and her sleep was very quiet and peaceful.
In the second half of the night, Jinpei Matsuda got up to go to the bathroom. He took out his mobile phone from the tatami and looked at the time. It was already two o'clock in the morning. He fumbled to turn on the bedroom light. When the light came on, he looked at the two people in the corner. They were so far away from him. He rolled into the corner to sleep alone, and they were the only ones hugging each other to rest. He felt isolated.
Jinpei Matsuda touched the back of his head, not quite understanding how the friendship between these two people could be so good. They even slept entangled with each other, which was very uncomfortable to watch.
After going to the bathroom, Jinpei Matsuda returned to his seat, turned off the lights and went to sleep.
The next day, after the alarm clock rang, An You got up, holding her aching forehead. It turned out that this was the feeling of a hangover. She had completely fallen asleep.
There was no one on the tatami bunk bed anymore, only a thin blanket covering his body.
An You was still very thirsty after waking up.
Subconsciously licking the corner of his mouth.
I just happened to look up and meet Team Matsuda's eyes when he came in from the living room. His forehead was wet, obviously he had just finished washing up. Suddenly, he seemed to have seen something weird, his whole body stood up, and he touched his arm.
An You stood up alertly, "What do you mean by that look? Do you think there's a rat, a cockroach, or even a spider?"
The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I felt, and I started looking around the room.
But after checking, not even a mosquito could fly in, let alone a mouse.
"It's not a bug, I was just looking at you!"
An You: "What's wrong with me?"
Matsuda Jinpei: "You were very strange just now."
An You: “Huh?”
"Don't make such weird movements."
An You: Black man’s question mark face jpg.
He was shot even when he was lying down. That's why Jinpei Matsuda felt something was strange. Was he licking his lips? Now it is not allowed to do anything when you are thirsty.
An You: "But I'm just thirsty. I don't want to bother with you. I want to go drink some water. I'm dying of thirst! Hagiwara Kenji, water!"
The person who was cleaning up in the living room turned around and saw the person with the hems of his sleeping clothes rolled up walking towards him, howling as he walked.
An You grabbed the life-saving straw's arm and said seriously, "Is there any water at home? I want to drink."
Hagiwara Kenji: "There are drinks. I'll get them for you."
An You poked her head in: "Is it ice cold?"
"Of course." Hagihara Kenji smiled.
The ice drink just taken out of the refrigerator felt comfortable even when held in the palm of his hand. An You put his face against the can and felt cool all over. However, his thirst problem needed to be solved more than putting his face against the can, so he tilted his head back and gulped down the drink.
"Clothes, be careful not to get them wet."
A pair of hands rested on his chin, and An You looked up at him, "Oh, my shirt."
Fortunately, it only wet a little bit of the chest, so it didn’t matter. An You patted the drink stains on his chest.
"Would you like to take off your clothes and wash them here before taking them back?"
"No, I can wash it when I get home."
At this time, the cell phone rang. Not many people knew his cell phone number, and generally not many people called him directly. After all, most members of the organization were busy, and he was the only one who had free time. When he picked up the phone, he saw that the caller ID was Zhu Xingdai, a surprising person.
Although Zhu Xingdai is his own man, he is usually aloof and taciturn. He may not hear a single sentence out of three that he speaks.
But it's strange that he comes to me at this time.
"Hey, what's up?"
"Nothing, I just want to meet you. There are some things that need to be discussed in person."
"Ah, see you at the villa later."
