Chapter 34
"Anything to report?"
Shigetsu Tsujimoto closed the cubicle door, lowered the hidden earphone of his hearing aid, and asked in a low voice.
"I made it in!! They didn't kill me!!" Alaska's voice was excited.
Shigeto Tsujimoto: “…Oh, that’s good.”
I don't know why, but I feel a little regretful.
"I did as you said and told everyone about your current condition and your plan to transfer to the Public Security Department. They asked me to keep an eye on you. What should I do next?" Alaska's voice was uneasy.
"Then just listen to them, keep watching me, and report the news back truthfully." Shigeto Tsujimoto said slowly.
"I understand! Master, if there is anyone you want me to kill, I will kill him immediately! Just treat me as the most useful knife!!" Alaska jumped up and tried.
"Don't call me master, it sounds disgusting..." Shigetsu Tsujimoto frowned uncomfortably.
"Just call me by my name. If that doesn't work, you can call me by your senior name."
"Do I...do I have that qualification?" Alaska's voice trembled.
"Why don't you talk about the [anti-brainwashing] thing you mentioned earlier?" Tsujimoto Shigetsu was silent for a moment and decided to change the subject.
"I remember you briefly told me about yourself before. Did the Black Organization interrogate and brainwash you?"
"There are so many such things!" Alaska said nonchalantly.
"I've received training on my subconscious mind before. Even if they brainwash me, they won't get the most important information!"
"Okay then." Tsujimoto Shigetsu didn't ask any more questions.
“When will the power outage plan be implemented?”
"Tomorrow morning at three o'clock, but you have to be careful, they should be setting out to find you..."
"I see."
"Are you really planning to come back? If you plan to get rid of the Black Organization, it won't be a big problem for me. After all, your choice is definitely the right one..."
"I have my own ideas. I'll hang up first. You just stay hidden and do what they say." Shigetto Tsujimoto hung up the phone.
When he came out of the cubicle, Shigeto Tsujimoto happened to meet Jinpei Matsuda who was walking in. After they met, Shigeto Tsujimoto pushed the door open and walked out, but he was suddenly stopped by the other party.
"Is it because of your brother's situation that you want to transfer to the Public Security Department?"
Matsuda Jinpei's uneasy voice came from behind.
"Yeah." Tsujimoto turned to look at him, "Is it weird?"
Those deep blue eyes were as tranquil as ever, but this tranquility was more like the calm before a storm, making people feel inexplicably depressed.
"…Nothing. I have no right to stop you."
After a long while, a helpless expression appeared on Matsuda Jinpei's face.
"Be safe, that's all I can say."
"Pfft, it's just a transfer to the Public Security Division. It doesn't mean we won't see each other again in the future." Tsujimoto Shigetsu smiled helplessly.
"Don't be so pessimistic. I'm not going to die. You're making it seem like a life-and-death separation."
——You think you haven’t done enough things that are like committing suicide? !
Although he wanted to say this, when he saw the other party's depressed expression, Matsuda Jinpei was speechless.
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. Inspector Furuya asked me to go down and hand over the information first, so I won't waste any more time."
Shigetsu Tsujimoto left without looking back.
Three o'clock in the morning is the critical time for action.
But... according to the information sent by A, the experiment seems to start tomorrow.
But Gin and the others are leaving the Black Organization exactly tomorrow, so it would not be appropriate to leave earlier or later.
This is very troublesome.
Although there is a memory box as a backup, Shigetsu Tsujimoto can guarantee that Yuma will not forget the past. However, the triggering of the memory box requires special conditions, and this special condition must be a designated person.
[The memory box can only be activated after contacting the designated target.]
Of course he was the trigger of Yuma Tsujimoto's memory box, and of course Yuma was the trigger of his memory box.
When the brothers meet, Yuma will definitely remember everything.
The only thing he was worried about was whether the person Yuma saw first was someone from the Black Organization. If so, A would have to find a way to kill him. Anyone who was a threat to Yuma had to be eliminated.
Compared to the living, the dead are indeed the safest.
Tsujimoto Shigetsu's eyes darkened slightly, and gradually a dangerous look emerged.
"This gentleman."
Just as Tsujimoto was lost in thought, he heard the voice of a young man.
"Excuse me, do you still need to buy some bread? If not, can you please move aside? You have been standing here for five minutes."
"sorry."
Shigetsu Tsujimoto stepped aside and apologized politely.
"I was thinking about something and was in a daze for too long."
The other party smiled but didn't say anything.
However, at this moment, the barrage of comments in front of Shigeto Tsujimoto suddenly became dense, and Shigeto Tsujimoto quickly discovered the unexpected identity of the man in front of him:
[It’s Neko!! Neko finally came out to get soy sauce!!]
[I haven't seen Neko for a long time since Shuichi's death! I didn't expect Neko to have a rivalry with Shigetsu! 】
[I always feel that the style of Cat Brother's painting is a bit out of place. Speaking of which, how long has Cat Brother been Voldemort...]
[#Shock! FBI and Japanese police have a dispute! The reason is——#]
[If Neko appears, will this Black Organization-related action be linked to Akai Shuichi? ]
[Hahahahaha, I'm really looking forward to seeing some sparks fly between Shibuto and Shuichi! ]
…
FBI? Death escape? ? Shuichi Akai? ? ?
Who?!
A large amount of information gathered in his mind at once, but he still grasped the key word "Black Organization" at a glance.
In other words, this man I met by chance is related to the Black Organization? ?
In this case, he cannot give up this precious clue.
Shigetto Tsujimoto was silent for a moment, then decisively activated his skill [Ultra-Axis Tracking] which he had not used for a long time. At the same time, he reached out and took out a piece of bread in front of him and handed it to the other party.
"The bread here tastes pretty good. I recommend this curry bread. I like it very much."
He had noticed that the other person's eyes were on the piece of bread, and he probably wanted to take it as well.
And there was only one piece of curry bread left, so he certainly wouldn't refuse his own behavior.
"In that case, thank you very much."
The young man with short light chestnut hair smiled gently and took the bread from the other party without any hesitation.
At the moment when the bread was handed over, the two people's fingers briefly touched, and the [Polar Axis Tracking] mark was completed naturally.
Shigetsu Tsujimoto left without looking back.
He was not very interested in the FBI, but he was very interested in the man in front of him who had frequent contacts with the black organization.
Anyway, use polar tracking to locate it first, maybe it will be useful in the future.
In the afternoon and evening, Tsujimoto Shigetsu walked around the city center as planned, checking out various places one by one. A's intelligence was synchronized with that of Inspector Furuya, and he could sense that someone was following him.
About five members of the Black Organization, including GIN, came here.
Shigetsu Tsujimoto was very alert. When he first realized he was being followed, he left the place immediately and drove away.
He didn't plan to go home for the time being. After all, there might be someone monitoring him at home. For the time being, he planned to stay in the safe house arranged by Inspector Furutani.
As long as he is in a completely closed room, he will be safe. This is also the skill that Yuma Tsujimoto gave him.
When he thought of this, Shigetto Tsujimoto felt even worse for some reason.
"Are they here yet?"
When Shigeto Tsujimoto returned to the room, Inspector Furutani asked anxiously.
"Yes, I have confirmed it today." Tsujimoto Shigetsu nodded.
"How are the officers preparing?"
"They have successfully infiltrated. They will probably be able to cause a temporary power outage in the laboratory within the originally scheduled time. At that time, they will probably be able to take Tsujimoto Yuma away from the laboratory."
"Have you confirmed the location of the lab?"
"It was found by Morofushi Kagemitsu and Furuya Rei who searched together. Their abilities are unquestionable, and now the Black Organization's attention is on you. Just as you thought, there is really no defense there." Inspector Furutani whispered.
"That's good."
Shigetto Tsujimoto turned on the communicator on the table. He tapped the table with his hands, his heart tense with anxiety.
Both of them were wearing positioning devices, and Shigeto Tsujimoto remotely controlled the two to move towards their destination while also observing the surroundings for any intruders.
If the entire experimental site loses power, they will only have ten minutes at most to search.
Time is running out and we can't waste even a minute.
"Don't be nervous, it's a crime. Yuma will be fine." Inspector Furutani comforted.
"Thank you, I will try to calm down." Shiguto Tsujimoto whispered.
With three minutes left before the mission began, Tsujimoto was becoming increasingly uneasy. Time passed by, and after bypassing countless difficulties and personnel surveillance, Furuya Rei finally found an opportunity to detonate the main power switch, and the entire laboratory instantly went dark.
“Ka——”
Due to electromagnetic interference, the communicator was temporarily disconnected for a few seconds, and then reconnected after a while.
Tsujimoto's voice became even more uneasy:
"How's it going over there, Scot? Is everything going well?"
"Everything went smoothly while we were lurking." Morobushi Jingguang's voice was very low.
"We will find him soon. We will reach our destination in five minutes. I am currently on my way to the laboratory..."
The path in this area is quite complicated, and the doors are all unlocked by fingerprints. Even with the help of outsiders, it will take several minutes to open the door.
"Have you found where the laboratory is? Do you need me to send the location again?" Shigetto Tsujimoto continued to ask.
"Found it. Bourbon needs to confirm its status first...eh?"
After finally pushing open the heavy door, Morofushi Jingguang's expression suddenly froze.
Under the illumination of the flashlight, there was no one on the test platform in the room. The only human figure was the doctor lying on the ground. He had suffered a fatal attack on the neck, and blood was flowing all over the floor. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
The door on the other side had already been opened, and Yuma Tsujimoto was not there.
"What's wrong? Did something unexpected happen?" Tsujimoto Shigetsu's heart suddenly began to tighten.
However, there was no reply from the other end of the line, but a chaotic voice. Looking at the chaotic scene in front of him, Morofushi Jingguang took a while to come to his senses and continued:
"The doctor in the laboratory is dead. If I'm not mistaken, it was Yuma who did it. As for Yuma..."
He paused, then continued in an incredulous tone:
"It seems he ran away."
"Run away???" Tsujimoto Shigetsu was stunned for a moment.
"Running away with a body like that?? How far can he run?? Catch up with him now!"
"I'm doing that." Zhu Fu Jingguang frowned.
"But I can't go this way, it seems someone is coming... Wait a minute!"
“Beep…beep…”
The communication is down.
Shigeto Tsujimoto hung up the phone with a painful expression on his face.
I hope Yuma is safe.
·
The next day, at Kudo's house.
The rain has been falling from morning to afternoon and there seems to be no sign of stopping.
He threw the man he picked up onto the sofa, stripped off his overly thick protective clothing, and found a piece of his own clothes to put on him.
It turned out that the clothes were too big and still looked ill-fitting.
Okiya Subaru initially wanted to call the police, but when he carried the man back home, he clearly saw the needle holes on his arm and the scars that did not look like normal injuries.
If something really happened to him, shouldn't he call the police immediately?
Or did he not call the police to protect himself?
Okiya Subaru felt that this matter was still debatable. At least he had to wait until the person woke up and then ask the other party what was going on.
As for whether to take him to the hospital...if the other person really has a special identity, then taking him to the hospital would be dangerous. And Subaru Okiya himself might also be implicated.
After thinking for a long time, Subaru Okiya decided to see a private doctor and buy some ingredients for dinner.
The silver-haired young man curled up on the sofa was still grabbing the blanket anxiously, his brows furrowed, and I wonder if he was having a nightmare.
Subaru Okiya adjusted his glasses, picked up the umbrella beside him and prepared to go out, but he found that the corner of his clothes was suddenly pulled.
"Where are you going?"
The silver-haired man opened his eyes at some point, and looked at him warily with his blue eyes.
"I have to go out and buy food and find a doctor for you."
Okiya Subaru answered truthfully.
"don't want!!"
Yuma Tsujimoto clenched his fingers and pulled the other person's clothes back, and his emotions seemed to be even more excited.
"I don't want to see a doctor! You are not allowed to leave!!"
…
This is not right.
When he mentioned "doctor", he seemed to start to panic subconsciously.
Could it be that this conditioned reflex is related to what he had experienced before?
Okiya Subaru fell into deep thought.
"What's your name?" Okiya Subaru finally put down the umbrella.
“I don’t remember.”
The other party shook his head.
"Don't remember??"
"I don't know what happened." Yuma Tsujimoto lowered his eyes and wrapped himself in a blanket, looking very lost.
“I don’t remember anything.”
Is this amnesia? ?
Shouldn't amnesia lead to seeing a doctor?
"All doctors are bad." Subaru Okiya heard the other party's extremely disgusting voice.
"I understand." Okiya Subaru sat on the other side of the sofa.
"So what are you going to do next?"
"I have no idea."
Yuma Tsujimoto loosened his hand, his face filled with confusion and bewilderment, but he never let his guard down.
"I feel very uneasy, as if someone is always watching me... This house gives me a bad feeling. Is your room eavesdropped or monitored?"
"How did you know?"
Okiya Subaru was stunned for a moment. He did install surveillance cameras and eavesdropping devices in this room, but how did this person find out? ?
"Intuition." Yuma Tsujimoto buried half of his face in the blanket, but his voice became confused unconsciously.
"It's strange, you give me a very familiar feeling... Have we known each other before?"
"I don't know you. I picked you up and brought you home." Okiya Subaru answered truthfully.
Familiar feeling? This shouldn't be the case. Could it be that his father secretly had another child? ?
No, not really. This guy doesn't look like him at all. Rather, he looks very similar to someone...
The man who has been in the news recently is Wataru Tsujimoto.
The two men looked almost identical, except for their slightly longer hair and darker pupils.
Could it be a relative of Officer Tsujimoto?
"Do you know who Shigeto Tsujimoto is?" Subaru Okiya continued to ask.
"I don't know, but the name... sounds very friendly." Yuma Tsujimoto hesitated for a moment, but still answered obediently.
"Okay, I understand."
In all likelihood, he must be a relative of Shigeto Tsujimoto.
Let's find some time to contact the Metropolitan Police Department. Now that we know the other party's identity, it will be easy to handle the next step.
"Then you stay here obediently, I'll cook." Okiya Subaru stood up,
“Would you like some curry rice?”
"eat."
"Okay, then you wait here for a while."
If he hadn't suddenly mentioned the matter of eavesdropping and surveillance cameras just now, Okiya Subaru probably wouldn't have been so uneasy.
His intuition was very sharp. Just now his eyes seemed to be looking around aimlessly, but in fact he was observing the location of every surveillance camera.
Almost all of them.
What did this guy do before? ? Could it be that the person who came out of the Metropolitan Police Department is from the Public Security Department? ?
I always feel that things are not as simple as I imagined.
Because there were not many ingredients, Okiya Subaru could only make potato stewed beef curry. When the meal was almost ready, he just went out and found that the young man who was picked up was fiddling with his computer.
"What are you doing???"
Okiya Subaru was slightly surprised, but what the other party said next surprised him even more.
"Your computer has been hacked and a virus has been implanted." Yuma Tsujimoto turned his computer around.
"They seemed to have entered your computer with a purpose. I tried to fool them with false intelligence and reinforced your firewall."
Okiya Subaru: ???
He almost immediately seized his computer, but after reading the content related to the computer, he was amazed by the other party's superb skills.
It is not just a simple "reinforcement". If I were to describe it, it would be like the evolution from an ordinary tile wall to a bank safe door. They even thoughtfully set up an infrared anti-theft layer for you.
"Your phone has also been tracked."
Before Subaru Okiya could react, his cell phone was snatched away by the opponent in an instant. After a while, he found a small round tracker.
That was a special setting placed in his phone by the FBI, but this man was able to see it at a glance.
"You wore a voice changer and even changed your appearance." Yuma Tsujimoto looked at him.
"Are you doing any dangerous work?"
Okiya Subaru realized that things were not simple.
He has lost his memory and is likely a high-ranking public security official. However, even without memory loss, he can always find any danger hidden in the corner in the first place.
He knew that there was a virus in his computer and that the original backup file was fake. He had planned to deal with the matter later, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him solved the problem faster than he did.
Quite a terrifying ability.
"You don't have a name, do you?"
Subaru Okiya gently held his hand, and the expression in his eyes changed.
"Um."
The silver-haired young man closed his eyes, stood up slightly, and rubbed the back of the other's hand affectionately with his cheek.
It's like a cat testing its owner.
"Well, I'll call you Yuu for now." Subaru Okiya randomly gave you a nickname.
"Before I take you to meet your family, can you do me a small favor?"
"What help?" the other party asked curiously.
"This is it." Okiya Subaru took out a USB drive and handed it to the other party.
“There is no need to compulsorily analyze it. If you can do it, that’s fine. If you can’t do it, that’s fine too.”
He was just giving it a try. He had to hand it back sooner or later anyway, so it wouldn't be a bad thing if he could get some good intelligence from it.
"sure."
The silver-haired young man weighed the USB flash drive in his hand and suddenly smiled wickedly.
"I want a strawberry mousse and a black forest cake."
"……Um??"
Okiya Subaru's face was blank for a few seconds.
"You're asking me to do something for you. Am I not going to take any reward for doing it?"
Yuma Tsujimoto crossed her arms with a look of displeasure.
"I want it now, or I won't give it back to you!"
Okiya Subaru was at a loss.
Is this the kind of personality I've become familiar with? ? ? Isn't this a bit too difficult to deal with? ? ?
Considering that the data in the USB drive was quite important, Okiya Subaru thought for a long time before reluctantly standing up and sighing helplessly.
"I understand. I'll do it."
"Just so you know, hurry up and I'll start helping you once you've eaten the cake."
Yuma Tsujimoto raised his chin, his expression extremely arrogant.
"Also, I don't like this dress, I want to change it!"
"You can choose from the closet."
"I also want to use your shower!"
"…Then you can use it."
"Your bed is mine too! Go sleep on the sofa!!"
"Don't push your luck. There's an empty bed in the guest room. Do you really have to sleep on mine?"
"I want the biggest one!"
“…”
I originally thought he was the obedient type, but I didn't expect that once the other party caught him, he would immediately start to act rashly.
But overall, he could still feel the inexplicable closeness of the other person, so Okiya Subaru decided to give it a try for the time being.
At least, before returning him, he wanted to try to see if he could crack the information about the X organization he was secretly investigating.
This data has been shelved for three years. If there is no further progress, the FBI will give up the investigation, right?
