Chapter 74: The Secret

Weilun simply ignored Ace's invitation to become a partner. He neither refused nor accepted it.

Ace was finally chased away by Verlaine because after eating the fried chicken and cola burger, Verlaine started to practice questions. Ace took a look and thought he knew the answers to a few questions, so he interrupted a few times, such as "Is this...", "This seems to be...", "This must be wrong". Despite Mori Ouwai's desperate attempts to stop him, he still couldn't help but say a few words.

People are like this. When they see something they know, they can't help but talk about it. When they see something is wrong, they can't help but talk about it. They can't help but talk about it here and there, and it adds up to several times.

Finally, Weilun, whose train of thought was interrupted, put down his pen, turned his head and stared at him dimly: "Is this the value of your Tokyo University diploma? It seems that Tokyo University is not that good. Those academic papers, patented products and so on produced by the school, are they fake?"

Mori Ogai: [...] Feng Ping was killed.

The University of Tokyo: Reputation damaged +1

After Ace sneaked into the Weilan family's door, he ran to sneak into Nakahara Chuuya's door.

Nakahara Chuuya was in charge of the organization's gem transportation business, which brought him a large commission. His biggest expense before this was a well-known brand of light motorcycle, so he also saved a considerable sum of money.

He used the money to buy an apartment outside. He used all the money that Verlaine had transferred to him, except for medical expenses and the cost of rebuilding the street that had been demolished, to solve Verlaine's own expenses. And Nakahara Chuye did not touch the gems that Verlaine had given him before.

The main reason was that the company dormitory was too inconvenient. For example, gossip spread quickly, making him feel like he had no privacy. The other reason was because of Adam's incident.

The purpose of this robot's actions seemed to be to follow him, so wherever he went, the robot followed him. Zhong Yuanzhong had asked him before, now that it was confirmed that Weilun was not here to kill him, why didn't he return to Europe? As a result, Adam said -

"The doctor said that this machine needs to stay and observe the assassin for a while to make sure he is stable before returning. ... Of course, the doctor said this is to deal with the arguments of those above."

Adam blinked and showed an expression that could be called a smile, but then turned into confusion. "The doctor has changed my first instruction. She said that I should stay here with you as much as possible and experience life... This is really strange. I am not a human, why should I experience 'life'?"

…and stayed here!

Originally, Nakahara Chuuya was not in such a hurry to move out, but Adam insisted on following him!

——He means that you should follow him when doing tasks, and you should also follow him when processing documents at work!

When he was working as a clerk, he was inside the port building, the headquarters of the port mafia! How could a European detective be allowed in? Even a robot couldn't do that!

Because the robot came to see him frequently, and he had to persuade the guy to go back after a long time at the door of the building the first time, the rumor that he was being pursued by a man had almost spread to most of the port mafia!

Dazai Osamu had laughed at him countless times for this, and when Verlaine first found out about it, he almost tore Adam apart!

...Well, robots don't need to eat anyway, so just buy a house outside and throw it in.

It just so happens that if he buys a house outside, he will have his own private space, which is much more convenient than the company dormitory.

Except for Dazai Osamu, several people who were familiar with Chuuya Nakahara's purchase of a new house told them the address directly, and Ace went there directly according to the address.

On the way, I also bought some red wine, rum, engine oil and fuel to take with me.

Not only Ace knew that Adam lived in Nakahara Chuuya's house, Ozaki Kouyo knew it, and the people of the Flag Society also knew it. He had always regarded Adam as a trouble at first, and when he met with friends who knew about it, he couldn't help but complain about it.

Ace didn't actually eat much at Verlaine's house, but he had already eaten dinner before he left, so his stomach was still very full when he left Verlaine's house. Fortunately, when Ace was online, he was like a husky that couldn't be tied down, and he exercised a lot, so Moriogai was lucky enough not to have a big belly now.

Seeing that Ace had bought so much wine again, Mori Ouwai said helplessly and worriedly: [Ace, don’t you feel uncomfortable with your stomachache? ]

In fact, it was not so obvious when I just came out of Weilun's house, but when Ace bought some wine and carried a few big bags, the feeling of falling was more obvious.

"Well, a little bit?" Ace replied a little slowly.

There was no way. Pirates often ate until their bellies were bloated and then lay down on the deck and fell asleep. This was so common that he didn't notice anything wrong.

Mori Ou discussed with him anxiously: [Then why don't you drink it later? Or just drink a few sips. ]

With Ace's rush-for-the-entertainment dining style, he was really worried that he would rupture his stomach at Chuuya's house later. He couldn't afford to lose face by having a car organized to take him to the hospital for treatment in the middle of the night!

"No problem, don't worry!"

Mori Ogai: [……]

I can't let it go at all.

Do you remember saying the same thing when you bought fried chicken not long ago? It was exactly the same without any punctuation changes!

…

When Ace arrived, both of them were there.

When Nakahara Chuuya opened the door and saw Ace, he was surprised: "Boss?"

"Good evening!" Ace walked inside with the wine without any hesitation.

Nakahara Chuuya closed the door. Adam, who was sitting on the sofa opposite the TV, was still holding the game controller in his hand. He looked over when he heard the voice and said, "Good evening."

"Why are you here today, Chief?" Zhongyuan Zhongye asked casually.

This leader was the one he first met who was a bit stupid. At that time, Nakahara Chuuya still regarded him as a person who needed to be taken care of, and spoke to him more casually than now. Although their identities are reversed now, their way of getting along has not changed much.

The main reason was that he just couldn't be restrained in front of Ace.

As for the other leader who is more like an elder, that leader will not take the initiative to visit people, nor will he say good evening to his subordinates as soon as he enters the door. He will only call people to his office to talk when he has something to do, and that's it. He basically has no communication with his subordinates outside of work.

"Oh, I just came from Verlaine's place." Ace said as he walked to the coffee table in front of the sofa, took the wine out of the bag, and placed the bottles on the table one by one.

When Nakahara Chuuya heard that Wei Erlan was involved, he immediately became nervous: "He didn't hit you, did he?"

He knew that the leader was on Verlaine's assassination list. Although Verlaine told him that he would not kill his companions, he did not say it formally at the time, so Nakahara Chuuya did not dare to be truly assured. Although he later thought about asking Verlaine to formally promise him once, he was afraid that his brain circuit would have the opposite effect.

"Don't worry, we had a great meal. ... Ah, I mean we had a great chat." Ace smiled and put the wine in place, and finally put a few bottles of motor oil and fuel. He looked at Adam, "Do you want to eat this? I don't know much about this, so I just bought a few bottles at random. See if you like any of them."

"Although this aircraft has a simulated taste system, the system's cognition comes from humans. Engine oil and fuel are not food, and this aircraft does not ingest engine oil through consumption." Adam answered seriously, then stretched out his left arm and rolled up the sleeve of his shirt to demonstrate.

The white arm deformed, revealing the steel bones inside. In the center was a metal tube that rose out of the body. Then it flipped over, and the metal tube was stood up. The upper end of the tube quickly rotated and lifted up, revealing the opening of the metal tube.

Adam opened a bottle of fuel and poured it into the metal pipe. It was empty in a short while. Ace bent over and looked up, exclaiming in amazement: "Wow, such a big bottle was poured in all at once!" He stretched out his fingers to pry the mouth of the pipe, "Where did such a big bottle go?"

Zhong Yuanzhong had come over to see what was going on, but he knew more than Ace and said directly, "Isn't there a pipe connected to it? It should be flowing to other places through the pipe, right?"

Chuuya Nakahara had never seen such a highly intelligent robot before, and of course he was curious about Adam, but he was too shy to run over and stare at Adam while he was doing various operations, so he could only sneak a peek from time to time when he wasn't paying attention. But now that Ace had taken the lead in staring, he followed suit and went over to satisfy his curiosity.

"Where did it go?" Ace asked curiously.

"It's on the left side of the abdomen." The one who answered was Adam. He had two energy systems, one was solar energy and the other was fuel. "Because the location is not convenient for refueling, the doctor designed the refueling port at the arm position."

"Oh - so cool!"

Nakahara Chuuya glanced at him, not understanding what he thought was so cool.

Ace withdrew his fingers from the bottle mouth, and Adam screwed the cap on and put the metal tube back into his body.

"Do you have any other special skills?" Ace asked with sparkling eyes.

Sen Ouwai also stared at him secretly: Use a few more skills, and don't let Ace focus on eating and drinking again!

"I'm also very good at telling sarcastic jokes. Do you want to hear them? If you want to hear them, I can tell you right now—"

"Stop, stop, stop!" Nakahara Chuuya couldn't help but interrupt him, "How about we just play games?"

The robot detective's jokes aren't funny at all, that's fine, but the problem is that once he starts talking, he will go on and on without stopping. Once he starts, it will be a very difficult night.

"Playing games?" Ace's eyes were drawn to him.

Nakahara Chuuya picked up the game controller that he had placed on the sofa when he went to open the door, and played a game directly with Adam, while he operated the game while explaining to Ace.

The TV screen was showing a fighting game. The little man controlled by Chuuya Nakahara and Adam was punching and kicking, occasionally doing somersaults and flying kicks. Things that were never seen in serious adults except Moriori quickly attracted Ace's attention.

Until a knockout sounded, the teaching session ended, and Nakahara Chuuya put the controller in Ace's hand, "You try it."

After watching for a long time and looking forward to it, Ace immediately started the game excitedly.

Mori Ogai had never expected that Ace would stop eating at Nakahara Chuuya's house as he wished, but...

He, Nakahara Chuuya, and Adam played video games with a robot all night long!
