Chapter 60
"I have two things in my hands."
The silver-haired man looked down at him, holding a gun in one hand and a bag of money in the other.
"You can choose to take one thing. A gun can protect you, and money can make you live a good life for a long time. What do you think? Which one do you choose?"
The young child stared at the smiling man in front of him, and his intuition told him that this man was dangerous, but he was also the only man who saved him from suffering.
He was too young to be good at using a gun, and even if he took the money bag, he might not have the strength to protect it.
It's a choice between the two, and no matter which one he chooses, it may not allow him to survive.
So he thought for a moment, and finally walked forward and grabbed the man's hand.
"I want this."
Under the man's surprised gaze, the child raised his head and gave a firm answer.
…
When Gin woke up, he was already in the safe house.
The room was very quiet, and the air was filled with the smell of medicine, which was slightly acrid.
He was lying on the bed in the center of the safe house, most of the wounds on his body had been bandaged. Even his clothes had been taken off and changed into a new set.
Tsujimoto Shigetsu's bandaging skills were not too bad, but they were as wild and casual as he was. One could only say that they barely healed the wound. From the outside, it certainly looked horrible, with the coverage ranging between too severe and mummy-like.
Gin remained silent for a long time, but still did not impulsively remove the bandage and tie it again.
He no longer remembered how he fell asleep last night. He might have fainted on the way, or after reaching the safe house.
I remember that Shigetto Tsujimoto kept talking about something, and he impatiently asked the other party to shut up, but the guy continued to chatter.
"How did you get yourself into this state? You are so miserable, hahahahaha!"
"I've already made it clear to the boss. We can go back later. Just treat it as a mid-game break."
"I heard there are some good restaurants in Los Angeles. When you're better, do you want to go check them out together? Hey, don't sleep! I won't take you back if you fall asleep on the way!"
"You actually think I'm annoying!? Forget it, if you want to be unconscious, then just be unconscious. I promise I can transport you back safely..."
…
And so on.
When Shigeru Tsujimoto is being frivolous, he is really frivolous, but when he is serious, he is indeed very reliable.
In short, it is an extremely subtle existence.
He slowly stood up and looked silently at the medicines and bandages that were in a mess on the table. He could probably imagine the chaotic scene of last night.
Tsk, that's a little annoying.
His coat was nowhere to be found, but there were spare clothes in the safe house. Gin picked up one and put it on. At the same time, he noticed Boletta and the blue gem on the table.
Where did Shigeto Tsujimoto go?
With this question in mind, Gin looked around and soon his eyes fell on the sofa not far away.
Shigetsu Tsujimoto was lying on his back on the sofa, his pale face leaning to one side, his whole body sunk into the sofa. Only one hand was hanging down slightly, with the knuckles just touching the floor.
His sleeping posture is still as bad as ever.
"……Um?"
As if noticing someone approaching, Shigetto Tsujimoto was quickly awakened. He looked at the person in front of him with dazed eyes, and was confused for a long time without regaining consciousness.
"Am I having a nightmare... Why did Gin appear? I didn't sleep well..."
"Nightmare?" Gin smiled kindly.
"Dreaming about me is a nightmare?"
"Of course not—hiss!"
Just as he was about to stand up, Tsujimoto Shigetsu felt something in his brain twitch slightly, and he fell directly to the ground. The messy things scattered on the sofa also fell down with him, looking extremely messy.
Looking at Tsujimoto Shigetsu lying on the ground tangled in his bandages, Gin could only sigh: ...
He is very good at taking care of others, but unfortunately he doesn't know how to take care of himself at all.
"You're just watching, Gin! Are you just standing there and watching this joke?! You're making me sad!!"
After trying hard to tear off the bandages on his body, Shigetto Tsujimoto brushed off the dust on his clothes, still looking tired.
"I have already contacted the boss. If you hadn't been in trouble, I would have returned last night."
"How did you snatch the gems from the FBI?" Gin narrowed his eyes.
"I stole it." Shigeto Tsujimoto said simply and neatly.
"Stolen???"
"Yes, I remember he was a sniper." Shigetsu Tsujimoto recalled Akai Shuichi's face.
"Maybe he was wearing a knitted cap? He was a pretty good sniper. Unfortunately he met me."
"You are good at sniping?"
"No, I just broke his gun."
“…”
This is indeed Tsujimoto Shigetsu's style, there is no doubt about it.
It is a very subtle matter that Shigeto Tsujimoto actually met Shuichi Akai.
But at least I got the gem in the end, and after identification, it was found to be the legendary [Disaster]. Even at night, it can reflect a mysterious blue light under a weak light.
It is said that this gem has the same origin as the legendary "Hope" and is also a gem that can bring disaster to people. Although it is only a rumor, judging from what happened last night, it can indeed be considered a "disaster".
The largest underground casino in Los Angeles collapsed. Although the FBI and Yuma were there to back it up, it was still a bit of a fuss.
But it's not a big problem. With Yuzhen here, you don't have to worry about future problems.
Compared to this...
After finally regaining his original memory, Shigeto Tsujimoto slowly raised his head. After a brief pause, he saw these densely packed words for the first time in a long time.
Then he fell silent.
【Zhaoa ...
[Sheren, wake up! Sheren! They are lying to you! You must not trust Gin and the others... But he believed them! He believed them! ! ! ]
[Gin, you are so shameless! ! The person involved is obviously your senior and you actually called him your brother! Aren’t you taking advantage of him? ! ]
[Yuma: Get lost! I don’t want to have two brothers! !]
[It’s over. Now that Shigetto has completely lost his memory and has become the black side, will he really attack his brother? What if he attacks his brother?! I don’t want to see my brother being killed! I will cry! !]
[No! Think about Sheren's luck! How can he beat his brother with such bad luck! It's better for him to be beaten by his brother! ]
[Pfft… I’m dying of laughter. Damn, don’t persecute people like this! I’m lucky E, so I won’t cry, okay?]
[Come to think of it, the boss's attitude towards Shirin is really unusual. I initially thought Shirin was a senior member of the Black Organization, but the boss's attitude doesn't seem like he's treating a former subordinate, but more like a peer?]
[Karasuma Renya, what do you want to do, old man? ? Don't think that no one will recognize you just because you use a younger version of the suit! ]
[Why did the ear disease of the person who lost his memory and was brainwashed recover? ? Can the drug actually restore physical strength? ? ]
[I think it's not just that simple, and don't you think the wounds healed quickly when people got hurt before? ]
[Yes!!! I remember there was an episode before where the entire palm of the person involved was pierced by a knife, but when he went to the hospital for a checkup, it turned out to be just a flesh wound. It's simply unbelievable, okay? ! ]
[I mean, is there a possibility... that the person actually has extraordinary recovery ability, and the drug is just one of the driving forces? ]
[Wait a minute! If you look at it together, Organization X was disbanded for some reason, but the original members of Organization X, Carmen and Nozomi, still miss Shigetto Tsujimoto. What does this mean?! The answer is obvious! ! ]
[Before he lost his memory, he was the boss of Organization X? ? I think so too!! And you see, Organization X used to be involved in the design of high-end luxury goods, and also explored the gaming and pharmaceutical industries. And the boss of their organization is called Pandora! It's so obvious, isn't it?]
[That is to say, BOSS and Sheren were probably old acquaintances a long time ago? Maybe even friends? More likely partners and friends. In short, the old bastard BOSS must have done something to let Sheren down, otherwise why would BOSS's attitude be so subtle?]
[Wow… If Shibuto is the same age as the boss, then wouldn’t he also be very old? ? Why can he still maintain a young appearance? ? ]
[Zhao! You still remember! The name of the boss of Organization X is Pandora! ! Pandora means the stone of immortality! ! Since it is the stone of immortality, then the person involved may have taken similar drugs, so that he can have an ageless appearance, right? ? ]
[The old monster BOSS probably took the same medicine as Shito to stay young forever, so the silhouette he appeared in looked like a young man. ]
[What about Yuma? If that's the case, what about Yuma? ]
[I don't know!!! What I can be sure of now is that Shibuto has become completely evil after being brainwashed, and he was tricked by Gin into not being able to leave the brewery... Damn it, I also want a good Shibuto-chan!!!]
[No, I think that after Shibuto-chan lost her memory, she became even wilder. Her true nature was exposed directly...]
[But the aura was completely crushed by the boss! ! Sorry, if it's really as the bullet screen said, then I can still support it...]
[Damn, damn! I can play Sheqin or the Brothers Group! But this pair is not okay! That's an old man! ! ! ]
[However, according to the comments, the person involved may be quite old...]
[It’s not someone involved!! It can’t be someone involved!! Anyway, no matter what! This couple is absolutely not okay! This is a challenge to the bottom line!!!]
[I feel that, whether it is Alaska, Carmen, or Hope, although they claim to be members of the X organization, they have no respect for Shibuto like a boss... Alaska is completely a personal worship, Carmen wants to kill Shibuto, and Hope obviously wants to use Shibuto. After all this time, she is not as reliable as Gin. ]
[If Sheren is really the boss, then this boss is a bit too uncomfortable...]
[Or is this the real reason why Organization X disbanded? ? I think it needs to be studied.]
[If nothing else, at least in the part where the disaster was obtained, the characters really cared about Gin!! Especially the scene where he supported him under the moonlight!! Chao!! ]
[Ah... Now it's the stage where the Gin Party eats the candy and the Brothers Party eats the knife...]
[Damn it! Are the animation team really not planning to release a flashback episode? ! I am in a state of uncertainty right now! ! I am really curious about the past of the person involved! ! ! ]
[Support!!! Please publish a memoir!! Children really love memoirs!!]
…
The barrage is almost going crazy.
But I have to say that many of the comments were accurate. So accurate that it was scary.
The only fortunate thing was that the bullet screen didn't seem to know that he had recovered his memory. So it still thought he was pure black, so his black value skyrocketed, and by the time he reacted, it had already exceeded the passing line of 60 points.
In this way, his goal was indeed achieved.
As for the plot in the hospital, Yuma estimated that it was cut out because she turned off the barrage on her own initiative. This time the plot was mainly viewed from Yuma's perspective, so Yuma's red side value also skyrocketed.
That's good.
After solving the problems with numbers and barrage, the next thing to deal with is the Black Organization.
Tsujimoto Shigetsu closed the bullet screen and looked at the communicator again. As expected, Bermode had sent a message:
[Vermouth: Pretty efficient. I didn't expect you to be so quick. You guys really made some news this time.]
[Gimlett: That's what happened. We can't go back now. The FBI must hate us so much that they're arresting people all over the city.]
[Vermouth: You're really making a big deal, Gimlet. The boss will probably be very happy.]
[Gimlett: Forget it, I feel like he wants to hang me from the rooftop right now...]
When Vermouth arrives at the safe house, he can pick them up. It's actually very easy to leave here. He can leave easily by just saying a word to Yuma.
The only more troublesome thing is the BOSS.
Recalling the boss's previous test of his behavior, Shigeto Tsujimoto's face instantly darkened.
It's not that he couldn't accept betrayal, after all, he had been backstabbed more than once. But it was a bit too much for him to want to continue using him after the betrayal.
However, the BOSS is still kept in the dark, so he has a lot of room to maneuver.
After obtaining [Heart of Tamir] and [Disaster], the BOSS's target must be Pandora.
As for where Pandora is, only the original creator, Shigeru Tsujimoto, knows.
If you want to get Pandora, you must first get Tamir's Heart and Disaster. These two gems are the keys to the living Pandora.
But even the BOSS may not know how to get Pandora.
He needs Shigetto Tsujimoto to restore his original memories, but not his current memories.
That's why he planned everything and waited for Shigeto Tsujimoto's return.
Shigeto Tsujimoto closed the plan and after writing the mission report, he had to go back to see the boss.
According to Belmode, he was very satisfied with the big fuss Gimlet had made these two times and wanted to go back and talk to him briefly.
The so-called "talk" might not be just an ordinary "talk". If I am not mistaken, the potion should allow him to recall some related events in the past, that is, the memory of how to find Pandora, the stone of immortality.
So the question is, does Shigeto Tsujimoto know anything about Pandora?
Shigetsu Tsujimoto threw the plan aside with a subtle smile in his eyes.
Of course I don’t know.
As long as he pretends to know nothing, then he knows nothing.
Perhaps noticing the strange expression on Tsujimoto Shigeto's face, Gin unconsciously looked at him twice more, his eyes filled with confusion.
"What are you laughing at???"
“I think of happy things.”
"What's so happy?"
"Bermode said that the boss is very optimistic about my future development and wants to meet me alone." Tsujimoto Shigetsu raised his eyes.
"Is this a plan to give me a promotion and a raise? What do you think, Gin?"
"How should I know?" Gin didn't bother to pay attention to him.
"What are you going to do if the boss wants to kill me?" Shigetto Tsujimoto suddenly asked.
"How is that possible?"
Gin frowned and looked at him with a look that said "Is there something wrong with your brain?"
"It's just a hunch." Tsujimoto Shigetsu clasped his hands together, his expression somewhat downcast.
"After all, my luck has always been bad."
Generally speaking, Shigetsu Tsujimoto's premonitions about bad luck are always accurate.
But since the boss wants to see him, he will definitely go to see him.
What tricks will he play? Is he trying to test whether he can recall his past memories? Or does he want to get something from him? ?
Maybe both.
After all, they are no longer the [friends] they once were.
