Chapter 30
Dark memories surged up like a wave, covering the light-colored beach bit by bit.
How many days have passed?
Shigetsu Tsujimoto's memory began to blur.
After communicating with Gin that day, he took off his earphones and injected him with anesthetic again, causing him to fall into a deep sleep.
The organization said the drug would be injected in a week, and in order to prevent him from escaping, he would not be able to stay awake for a week.
Every time he was on the verge of consciousness, he would be pulled into the abyss again, as if his body was entangled by an unknown object, pulling him madly to the other side, and he didn't even have the strength to struggle.
The initial panic was followed by a slight numbness of consciousness, and my body didn't seem to hurt as much anymore.
Will I die?
Probably not...
It's just a loss of memory, and this has been going on for a long time.
The Red Team and the Black Team, or the colleagues in the Metropolitan Police Department who were overly concerned about him, or Gin who had a strange attitude towards him, or Yuma Tsujimoto who hid many things from him...
Shigetsu Tsujimoto is very clear about his own nature. If he really forgot, he would probably be too lazy to trace back to the things he had forgotten in the past. His character of living in the present would make him more obsessed with everything in front of him.
If you lose your memory, you may never get it back, right?
The only thing that made him feel a little uncomfortable was his attitude towards Gin's future... To be honest, it was too bad that the first person he saw was the one he trusted the most. What's more, the other party was Gin, the person he hated the most so far.
However, it seems there is no room for recovery.
I really hope Matsuda and the others don't take their own affairs too seriously...
Just as he closed his eyes and prepared to return to the depths of consciousness again, it seemed as if a pair of warm hands tightly grasped his collar, and his thoughts moved slightly at this moment.
Who is it?
Shigetsu Tsujimoto tried hard to open his eyes, but in his blurry vision he could only see a piece of white cloth and the sound of his heartbeat close to his chest.
That was the only sound in his silent world.
"How is he..."
"Go to the hospital... it's best..."
Intermittent sounds came from his chest, and Shigeto Tsujimoto drowsily propped himself up, his fingers unconsciously clutching the clothes on the other person's chest, as if this was the only way to squeeze out a little sense of security.
The vibration of speaking suddenly stopped.
That warm hand seemed to fall on the back of his hand. Although the feeling was not very clear, this action did make him feel a lot more at ease.
"Yuu...Main?"
The silver-haired man murmured, his fingers clenching even tighter.
He couldn't hear any sound, but he could still feel the warmth from the other person's palm.
Yuma is back.
However, it seems that I have caused trouble for Yuma again.
I hope he won't be angry later.
·
"Are you serious?? Are you alone??"
Morofushi Kagemitsu's pupils dilated slightly.
"Are you crazy?? If you take Tsujimoto away now?? You will be discovered!"
"One week." Yuma Tsujimoto tapped his fingers on the table nervously.
"I only have one week. The organization's drug development will take at least one week, or even earlier. If the person involved is forced to undergo the experiment by then, he will never be able to come back."
He was too lazy to explain how he knew there was only a week left. But given Morobushi Kagemitsu's personality, he probably wouldn't ask any more questions.
"Can I help?" Zhu Fujingguang asked seriously.
"I will try to save him, and you need to help me do everything you can." Yuma Tsujimoto narrowed his eyes.
"Once this matter is resolved, you can leave. I don't need you anymore."
"You..." Zhufu Jingguang was stunned for a moment.
He didn't expect the other party to let him go so easily.
"Don't think too much. I hate it when my problems drag down others. It makes me sick and want to vomit." Yuma Tsujimoto frowned and looked away.
"Don't look so shocked. I am very clear about my choice. This is just maximizing benefits."
"You'll die."
"You talk as if I'm afraid of death."
“…”
"Send him back. As for the reason, I have already made it up for you." Yuma Tsujimoto took out a letter from his pocket. There were still marks left by his fingers on it.
"Furuya Kawai Jin, you should know his name. Just hand Tsujimoto Shigetsu over to him, and he will take care of everything from now on."
"Furuya Kawai Jin?" Morofushi Kagemitsu was stunned.
Isn't that the name of the inspector of the First Investigation Division of the Metropolitan Police Department? ? Why does Yuma Tsujimoto know him? ?
"I hope you won't tell anyone except him." Tsujimoto Yuma's face was very ugly.
"Of course, I can't control you if you tell others. It's up to you."
"I see."
Zhu Fu Jingguang stopped talking.
Time was running out, and he had no time to argue with Yuma Tsujimoto. Since Yuma Tsujimoto had made his decision, the only thing he could do was to do his best to protect Yuma Tsujimoto.
If Yuma Tsujimoto and Jin Furuya know each other, then Yuma Tsujimoto's identity is self-evident.
But... since he has connections with the police, why didn't he tell me before? ? Obviously, if he just showed me his connections with the police, he would be able to gain my trust, right?
Zhufu Jingguang didn't understand.
The confinement cell where Shigeto Tsujimoto was held was strictly guarded. Although Yuma Tsujimoto was able to disguise himself as Gin and take Shigeto away, it was indeed very difficult for him to leave without being discovered.
As long as it involves Tsujimoto Kazuto, there is nothing that Tsujimoto Yuma can't do.
The skill [Safe House] can ensure that the room is absolutely safe. However, the condition for the safe house is that Yuma Tsujimoto must be in the room, and he cannot stay in the room all the time.
It is impossible to guarantee Tsujimoto Shigemitsu's safety 100% with the power of Morobushi Kagemitsu alone.
There is only one way.
Yuma Tsujimoto clicked on his skills and quickly found three expandable points in the lower left corner.
Click on the three dots, the last one in red means [Gift Option].
[Do you want to give away the skill [Safe House]? ]
【Sure.】
[Serious warning!! Once this skill is given away, it cannot be withdrawn!! Please choose carefully!!!]
【Sure.】
【……】
[The skill [Safe House] has been gifted to the target person [Shizuto Tsujimoto]. ]
At least he can guarantee the absolute safety of Shigemoto while he is receiving treatment in the hospital.
"Remember to take him to the hospital, preferably to a completely closed room." Tsujimoto Yuma warned seriously.
"After that, contact Furuya Kawai Jin using the information in the envelope, and he will tell you what to do next."
"good."
Although he found Tsujimoto Yuma's words "a completely closed room" a bit strange, Morofushi Kagemitsu still wrote them down word for word.
What followed was just like his usual style.
He hacked the terminal system's surveillance and converted it into pre-recorded content. He dismissed the personnel on the retreat route in advance for various reasons, and he also specially picked a good day for Gin to go out.
With a heavy heart, Yuma Tsujimoto walked towards the closed interrogation room step by step.
After pushing open the heavy iron door, I was greeted by a strong smell of alcohol and rust. Through the door, I could see the young police officer hiding in the darkness.
Five days had already passed, and he had two days left before he had to undergo the experiment.
That was enough time to escape.
Yuma Tsujimoto almost held his breath before he mustered up the courage to approach the other party. However, when his eyes touched the marks on Tsujimoto Shigeto's body caused by the restraints, his anger immediately boiled over.
scar.
There are scars everywhere...
Not only that, the previous chemical plant explosion also left some burn marks on his body, and now the wounds on that part have worsened, looking somewhat horrible.
His shoulder and palm were also injured, but because of the overdose of anesthetics, he didn't even have the chance to feel the pain, and he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
The man who was always strong and calm was restrained in the chair like this weakly.
"Damn..."
Yuma Tsujimoto bit his lower lip until it bled. He knew that Shigeto Tsujimoto's body would recover faster than the average person, but he still couldn't stand his important friend being tortured like this.
Gin, right?
Very good, even if he dies, he will be dragged down to hell.
But now he has no time to be angry. Time is limited. He must rescue Tsujimoto Shigeto as soon as possible and leave here.
After unfastening the restraints as quickly and lightly as possible, Yuma Tsujimoto carefully picked up Shigeto Tsujimoto. He tried his best not to touch the wounds on the other person's body, turned around and walked towards the original retreat route.
The route of the retreat junction is...
He remembered the basic route clearly, and his extremely strong memory came in very handy at this time.
He held the person tightly in his arms and covered him with a black coat to protect him from the overly stimulating bright light.
Shigeto Tsujimoto just curled up in his arms, his face was pale, his hair was disheveled, and his clothes were dirty, mixed with dust and sticky blood.
Although he hasn't been injected with drugs yet, the things that happened before have had a big impact on him. I wonder if he will lose his memory.
But it's okay. If he can lose the memory of that period, it may be a kind of relief for him.
When he arrived at the underground garage, Morobushi Kagemitsu was already waiting for him there. After seeing the figure of Tsujimoto Yuma not far away, Morobushi Kagemitsu felt relieved.
So far, so good.
"There's plenty of time. I've done it." Yuma Tsujimoto stopped, and under the dim light, Morofushi Kagemitsu saw the obvious look of worry on Yuma Tsujimoto's face.
"He's not in a good condition right now, or very bad."
Yuma Tsujimoto bent down, and with one hand he gently supported the shoulder of the unconscious Tsujimoto Shigetsu, and briefly checked the wounds on his body.
"He was given too much anesthesia. I don't know if it will have any effect on his brain. It would be best to check for this injury when he goes to the hospital."
"I will remember to take him to the hospital for examination, but do you need me to report the mission next?" Morobushi Jingguang whispered.
"Reporting mission? No, not necessary. I will destroy all communications between us, and you probably won't be able to contact me." Yuma Tsujimoto handed over Shigetsu Tsujimoto's hearing aid.
"You've finally gained your freedom, shouldn't you go to the bar and have a good drink to celebrate?"
"... Stop joking." Zhu Fu Jingguang lowered his eyes.
"We are companions! We should trust each other, right?"
"I'm not anyone's companion, I'm just using you." Yuma Tsujimoto couldn't help laughing.
"Zhu Fujun, don't be so sweet. If it weren't for what happened today, you might have been killed in a mission because of me..."
Before Yuma Tsujimoto could finish his words, he was completely stunned by the tightening feeling in his chest.
The person in his arms woke up at some point - to be precise, he was only half awake.
But his fingers were tightly grasping his shirt, and he didn't seem to intend to let go at all.
"Yuu...Main?"
Shigetsu Tsujimoto's uneasy voice sounded faintly, and he tried to lift his heavy eyelids, but still couldn't do it.
But his fingers still did not loosen the other person's collar, as if he recognized him instinctively.
"I'm here."
Yuma Tsujimoto's heart suddenly sank. He grabbed Shigetsu Tsujimoto's hand tightly and whispered,
"We will be safe soon. Please be patient for a while."
…
When it comes to your brother, will you change your attitude completely?
Zhu Fu Jingguang looked at this scene and felt inexplicably sad.
"Take him away, you don't have much time." Tsujimoto Yuma still pulled the other's hand away.
"I will stay and take care of the aftermath. You don't have to worry about your own affairs. I have deleted all your files. You are free, Morobushi Kagemitsu."
You are free.
These words were clearly the result he had been looking forward to the most, but Zhu Fu Jingguang couldn't relax at all at this moment.
He is free, and Officer Shigeto Tsujimoto can go home.
But...what about him?
Will he die?
This is a question that Yushin Tsujimoto would never answer.
Morofushi Kagemitsu stopped talking. He carefully picked up Shigeto Tsujimoto and placed him in the back seat. Then he sat in the driver's seat without hesitation.
The car started quickly, and according to the route given to him by Yuma Tsujimoto, he was able to leave here unhindered.
There were even sweat stains on Zhufu Jingguang's palms. He gripped the steering wheel tightly, as if he had grasped the last glimmer of hope, and drove towards the door.
Until the figure behind him gradually disappeared and was finally completely engulfed in the darkness.
"Don't come back again, Sheren."
Looking at the car body gradually disappearing, Yuma Tsujimoto said softly,
"Just live your life well. This is not bad for you, is it?"
…
Jin Furuya received a strange phone call late at night.
The call came from a remote hospital. After the call was connected, the person on the other end said nothing but clearly pronounced a string of numbers.
Furuya Kawai Jin's face changed immediately.
He ignored the confused looks of his children and wife at home, quickly changed his clothes and prepared to go out. After telling his family that he had something important to do, he immediately drove to the hospital.
That string of numbers was left to him by his deceased predecessor.
At that time, Furuya Kawahito was still in the Public Security Reserve Division, and his predecessor was killed in a fire during an undercover mission.
Before his death, he sent a string of messages to Furuya Kawai Jin, and told him that if someone sent him such a message, he must rush over as soon as possible and unconditionally trust every word the other person said.
Could it be that the predecessor survived???
No...that's impossible. The body of the predecessor has been found. Although it was severely charred, the DNA test cannot be wrong.
It must be the eyeliner of the predecessor that is still there.
If his guess is true, then no matter what, he must protect the undercover left by his predecessor.
The car drove into the garage quickly and Furuya Kawahito got out quickly. He asked about the patients who had recently been admitted and soon got news from them.
His uneasy heart was still beating in his chest. As the elevator stopped, Furuya Kawai Jin walked out quickly and soon found the closed door.
Standing in front of the door, he knocked three times vigorously, knocking the last one very slowly and taking a step back.
After a while, the door of the ward finally opened, and a familiar face soon appeared in front of Furuya Kawai Jin.
"!!!"
Furuya Kawajin's pupils suddenly shrank, he immediately slipped into the room and locked the door behind him.
"It's you???"
He looked at the other person in disbelief.
"I thought you were dead, Morobushi Kagemitsu, why are you still alive?"
That's impossible.
It was he who took over the death report of Morobushi Kagemitsu, and this death report was sent personally by Morobushi Kagemitsu's good friend Furuya Rei.
It is impossible for Rei Furuya to lie about such a thing, so the only possibility is that the senior's spy saved him.
"Let's not talk about that for now. The police officer involved just finished the operation and he is still sleeping." Morofu Jingguang's eyes looked very frustrated.
"I can only tell you what's going on. I don't want anyone else to know about this."
"Did that person tell you so?" Furuya Gawajin immediately became serious.
"yes."
"I see……"
Sensing the seriousness of the other party's tone, as a former public security officer, Furuya Kawai Jin could no longer understand this.
This concerns the life safety of the undercover agent, and he must not disclose the information even to his closest people.
Morofushi Kagemitsu quickly told the story of the Tsujimoto brothers. Everything he said was what Tsujimoto Yuma told him to tell others. The other party risked his life to send him out, and he couldn't joke about what the other party said to him at the end.
"In short, the undercover agent rescued Officer Tsujimoto who was kidnapped by the Black Organization and prevented the Black Organization from drugging Officer Tsujimoto." Morobushi Kagemitsu's voice was very light.
"I don't know what will happen to him, but at least, please protect Officer Tsujimoto. Don't let him go out during this period of time. Just let him disappear for a while in the name of [missing]."
At least this is the safest path for Shigeto Tsujimoto.
"Officer Shigeto Tsujimoto told me a while ago that he wanted to transfer to the Public Security Division."
Furuya Kawai Jin lowered his eyes, but his gaze was filled with sadness and complexity.
"He made that request specifically for his brother, right?"
"Did you agree?" asked Zhufu Jingguang.
"I postponed it." Furuya Kawai Jin sighed.
"I thought about how I came to the Public Security Division because I followed in the footsteps of my predecessors, but I also left because of them."
"He wanted me to live well. This feeling became even more obvious when Officer Tsujimoto made a request to me."
"You also realize that he might..."
"Yes, that's why I didn't agree. Now I think it was the right thing to do." Furuya Kawai Jin shook his head.
"It's up to you to protect him from now on. I'll try to explain to Officers Matsuda and Hagiwara. As for Furuya Rei..."
"I won't tell him that I'm still alive." Morofu Jingguang pursed his lips.
"Well, that's better. But if you have to, it's okay to tell him." Furuya Gawajin sighed.
"Why?"
"I am just expressing my personal opinion, Mr. Morobuchi," Furuya Kawai Jin said solemnly.
"If it really has come to a point where it is irreversible, would Officer Furuya, who has penetrated the organization, have the slightest chance of saving the spy?"
"What do you mean?" Zhu Fu Jingguang was stunned.
"Even if I can't save him, I hope that the spy can tell Furuya Rei a lot of the information he knows. He should know a lot of useful information, and also know about that senior."
Furuya Kawai Jin covered his face and whispered,
"It must be painful, Mr. Spy. The only person who knew his undercover identity is dead. If it weren't for today, perhaps no one in the world would know that there is such a person undercover in the Black Organization."
"To be alone in the darkness, with a broken ax hanging over your head that could fall at any time, this kind of pain and loneliness is something not everyone can endure."
…
Yes, he should have realized that.
The man's bigotry, arrogance and dictatorship were all shields he built to protect himself.
He can't trust anyone because no one can understand his pain. And the only person he cares about is his brother, Shigeto Tsujimoto.
"How can we contact Amuro Toru safely?" Morofushi Kagemitsu's fingers grasped the corner of his clothes.
"I will find a way to get you two together, but... you have to think it over carefully." Furuya Kawai Jin said seriously.
"Although we can get more intelligence, your friend will probably be involved in this matter. He will be implicated."
"Everything is based on maximizing the efficiency of the mission. If it was Zero sitting here, I believe he would make the same choice as me."
Morobushi Kagemitsu stared firmly into Furuya Kawaya Jin's eyes, and Furuya Kawaya Jin had also seen that same look in the eyes of another man.
After all, these two people are very similar in some ways.
"I understand. Then I will arrange a meeting for you." Furuya Kawai Jin nodded.
At this moment, there seemed to be a slight sound coming from the bed. The two of them looked towards the bed almost subconsciously. Shigeto Tsujimoto, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes slightly, and there seemed to be a daze in his eyes.
"Officer Tsujimoto! You finally woke up!!"
Furuya Gawajin stepped forward happily, but when he saw Tsujimoto Shigeto's pale face, his heart skipped a beat.
"Don't move for now. Do you feel any discomfort? Do you need to call a doctor?"
Morofushi Kagemitsu also comforted him softly, and at the same time grabbed Tsujimoto Shigeto's hand, his heart was extremely nervous.
"…What?"
The completely closed auditory world made Tsujimoto Shigetsu subconsciously widen his eyes. He clenched Morobushi Kagemitsu's hand nervously and looked at both sides of the bed.
No one was there except Furuya Gawahito and Morobushi Kagemitsu.
There were only three of them in the room.
Where did Yuma Tsujimoto go? He clearly remembered that he was by his side just now, so his feeling couldn't be wrong.
"He can't hear!" Morobushi Jingguang reacted quickly, "Give him the hearing aid."
"Here." Furuya Gawa Jin handed the hearing aid over and carefully put it on Tsujimoto Shigeto.
As the world gradually became clearer, Shigeto Tsujimoto finally came back to his senses. His thoughts were still sluggish, and his memory of the incident that happened not long ago was already beginning to become fuzzy.
But deep down in his heart he still remembered the most important thing.
"Where is Yuma?" Shigetto Tsujimoto asked anxiously.
Furuya Gawa Jin and Morofushi Kagemitsu were both stunned.
However, Tsujimoto did not intend to stop asking questions and even started to speculate on his own.
"Is he gone already?"
Looking at the silver-haired police officer's anxious questions, Morofushi Jingguang was unable to answer.
How to answer?
He stayed in the Black Organization? He could never leave to save you, or...he would never come back?
Either answer is too cruel.
Morofushi Kagemitsu decided to tell a white lie.
"He will be back soon."
The black-haired young man gently held Tsujimoto Shigetsu's hand and said in a gentle tone,
"You can only see him if you get enough rest, so lie down and sleep first, okay?"
However, Shigeto Tsujimoto was not reassured by his answer.
His eyes dimmed and even lost all their luster.
"You're a liar."
Shigetsu Tsujimoto closed his eyes in pain, but his tone was lower than ever.
"If he were still here, he would never leave me. It has been like this since childhood. If he is not here, it must be because he has something more important to do than staying with me."
"That idiot..."
