Chapter 62

[My heart is calm now, I will never love again...]

[Is it the chapter about memories of Sheren and the boss!? Damn, they are actually going to release a side story!? I can’t wait!!!]

[The boss is not Karasuma Renya, which means the current boss is actually the second generation boss? ]

[I remember that Karasuma Renya did change the boss once after ten years...it does make sense in theory]

[Zhao, will Shigeto return to the Black Organization next? Shigeto is actually a black organization? ? What about Yuma? ]

[Wasn’t Yuma a test subject before? I think Yuma’s appearance might also be related to Furuto…]

[Hiss!! I feel like I’m getting very close to the truth!! Shibuto is actually a pure black party!! Just being a pure black party doesn’t mean he will definitely do bad things! ]

[Wuwuwu... I feel like an invisible knife is about to chop me to death, just don't use the knife!!]

…

"Are you daydreaming?"

The man's voice brought Shigeto Tsujimoto back to his senses quickly.

He raised his head silently, noticed the hidden gazes of people around him, and gradually understood something in his heart.

Although they said "talk", the other party did not take him to a room alone to "talk" as he had expected.

The BOSS seems to have other things to do.

"no."

Ignoring the bullet screen in front of him, Tsujimoto Shigetsu collected his thoughts and nonchalantly clasped his hands on the table.

"I just don't understand what you want to do."

"It's okay, you'll understand soon enough."

The boss was still wearing a mask, and no one could see his face clearly underneath the mask.

If the other person's chatting habits had not revealed his personality traits, Shigeto Tsujimoto would probably have thought that there was someone else under the mask.

However, Shigeto Tsujimoto has no interest in the other person's true appearance.

"You should remember everything about Organization X?" the boss continued to ask.

"Why should I tell you?" Tsujimoto Shigetsu looked at the other person.

"If you don't remember, you can't compromise with me." The eyes behind the boss's mask were filled with a certain interest.

"Do you want to escape? About the members of Organization X betraying you and leaving you one by one?"

…

Organization X is just a fictitious code name.

That was just the name of the corporate organization they were originally in. In fact, Organization X was just an ordinary pharmaceutical factory.

As for the so-called betrayal, that happened a long time ago.

"Would you like a cup of black tea? I heard that the black tea in this restaurant tastes good." The boss suggested with a smile.

"Would you like a drink?"

"No thanks." Tsujimoto Shigetsu waved his hands.

"Who knows if you'll add some other messy stuff in there."

"You don't trust me that much?"

"When you chose to go along with Karasuma Renya, I knew I couldn't follow the same path as you." Tsujimoto Shigetsu said coldly.

"Who do you think is the source of Carmen's suffering? If you hadn't deceived me, so many complicated things wouldn't have happened."

"In the final analysis, all the pain comes from you. I stayed here for you, but you betrayed me for your so-called career and status."

"Is that correct? Do you have anything else to refute?"

"But even so, I still chose to restore your memory."

"You just restored my memory."

Shigeto Tsujimoto pointed at his temples and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Because you need [Pandora]. The medicine I left behind was not a complete medicine. So you can't really achieve immortality, right?"

"Only my past self knows where Pandora is. This is all you want."

“…”

The restaurant was still filled with the sound of conversation. It seemed that no one noticed their conversation, and Shigeto Tsujimoto didn't mind being overheard by others.

But the atmosphere between the two seemed to become more tense.

"Do you still hate me?" BOSS asked softly.

"Pfft, what are you kidding?" Shigetto Tsujimoto smiled.

"The word 'hate' is for people who are important to you, but you are not an important person to me."

"I don't care about the past anymore. I have my own important family and new friends. I think the present is good, but your appearance is not good."

After the man joined the Black Organization, he completely handed over the medical factory, or rather, the X Organization, to Shigeto Tsujimoto. Probably out of trust in him, the man also believed that Shigeto Tsujimoto would not disappoint him.

And Shigetsu Tsujimoto also managed the organization very well. Perhaps he was born with a certain talent in this industry, and he was soon favored by the employees of Organization X.

But all this was destroyed after an accident.

Of course, there is a habit of regular inspections within the organization, and it is normal to have an occasional physical examination.

Shigetsu Tsujimoto never thought that his friend would do something like this.

"If it's that man, he must be the most suitable experimental subject."

When he inadvertently heard this conversation, Shigeto Tsujimoto almost subconsciously covered his mouth and held his breath as he listened to what the two people were saying.

"I know you can't bear to let him go... He's your most trusted friend, right?"

One of them should be the boss of the Black Organization.

And the other person should undoubtedly be his friend.

What are they talking about? Themselves? What experimental subjects? Why use themselves as experimental subjects?

Countless speculations emerged, and for a moment, Tsujimoto Shigetsu was a little confused about what his friend was doing.

But when his friend said the next sentence, Tsujimoto Shigetsu felt inexplicably relieved.

"No means no. It's okay for everyone else but Sheren." The man's tone turned cold.

"If you insist on doing this, it would be better for us to terminate our cooperation."

“As expected…”

The man chuckled for a while, and finally said:

"But in fact, you are also very interested in my experimental process, right? I know that you have been secretly trying to replicate my experimental plan. And you also know that the most suitable experimental subject is Shigeto Tsujimoto."

"Are you sure I don't know what you're doing?"

The atmosphere between the two people seemed to be extremely tense, and curiosity drove Shigeto Tsujimoto to continue listening, but the small and dark room made it almost suffocating.

"Tell me, where are the other people's experimental subjects?" asked Karasuma Renya.

"…I don't have the key."

After a long time, the man replied,

"He may not know about my friend... I will take you there another day."

"Just so you know."

The conversation between the two ended here.

Shigetsu Tsujimoto muted and turned off his phone almost immediately, because he knew the man would call him soon.

The key is in his possession?? What does that mean??

He remembered that his friends had given him many keys, but he never cared what they were used for. Most of them could be unlocked by pupil print or fingerprint, so there was no need for keys.

If anything, only the undeveloped basement requires a key.

The answer is actually quite obvious.

He walked towards the basement as fast as he could. He remembered every password on this floor, and also remembered what was behind every door on this floor.

The only thing that needs to be confirmed is the door in the basement.

He suddenly opened the door and touched the only lamp in the corner. The moment the light flashed with cold white light, Tsujimoto Shigetsu's pupils dilated slightly.

It was a scene he had never seen before.

Countless [Shigumi Tsujimoto] who looked almost exactly like him appeared in front of him. Most of them still looked like children, but there was no doubt that they all had silver hair and blue eyes that were almost exactly like him.

I don't want him to be a test subject, but the experiment must be carried out...

Is that why they chose to extract samples of his body and clone other breeding grounds suitable for [experiments]?

…

“I remember that scene.”

The boss's voice once again interrupted his thoughts. When Shigeto Tsujimoto came to his senses, he found that delicious food was on the table.

"When you first discovered the experimental base. I actually gave you the key a long time ago. I told you not to go into that room - in fact, I hoped that you would find it, maybe only then would I feel better."

"But you know, if you tell me not to go, I definitely won't go." Shibuto Tsujimoto looked at him.

"I hate it when someone's life is destroyed to achieve a goal. You knew that, but you did it anyway."

"Even if they were originally created for experiments?"

"As long as a person has consciousness, he is alive." Shigetsu Tsujimoto lowered his eyes.

"People who are alive should have the right to live, right?"

But there is no way that man would understand this truth.

He explained to himself many things about the experiment, including the Pandora Project about [immortality] that he was conspiring with the BOSS, and the experimental process that required experimental subjects, etc.

But Shigetsu Tsujimoto could neither understand nor agree with their enthusiasm.

He had no interest in immortality, but these children were innocent after all.

The two had been arguing for a whole week, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the atmosphere between them had become tense. However, no one really dared to step forward to persuade them, because who would dare to really touch the secrets between the two bosses?

But the matter ultimately ended with the man's compromise.

The two children who were used as experimental subjects were taken out and lived as normal children in Organization X.

The relationship between Shigetsu Tsujimoto and the man seemed to have eased a lot. At least the other party was willing to compromise and was really willing to take him as a friend into consideration.

While hesitating, Shigetto Tsujimoto also consulted his friends and suggested that if the experiment was not too harmful, he could actually be a subject in the experiment.

But this proposal was once again rejected by his friends.

This seemed to be the other party's bottom line. He was unwilling to let Shigeto Tsujimoto become a test subject.

The matter was never resolved.

Shigetto Tsujimoto never told the man about the plan related to [Pandora] again, and the man seemed to have gained a considerable position in the Black Organization and brought a large amount of funds to the X Organization.

He seemed obsessed with climbing the ranks of the Black Organization, disappearing for months at a time on several occasions.

Naturally, Organization X was completely handed over to Shigetto Tsujimoto.

Just as everyone thought, Organization X gradually became what every man dreams of, with unlimited glory, numerous big shareholders investing in it, being favored by many people, and having many listed companies under its name.

But Shigeto Tsujimoto didn't feel anything special at all.

He doesn't care much about the pursuit of money, nor does he care much about the so-called longevity. As a person who has always been very salty and Buddhist, he pursues more of an ordinary but happy life.

The only thing that made him feel a little regretful was his friend who had been missing for two or three years.

It is not very accurate to say that he is missing, after all, he often writes back. He wants to occupy a higher position in the Black Organization, and after gaining a certain position, his investment in the X Organization will also increase significantly.

In fact, Shigetto Tsujimoto did not want his friend to get involved in such a dangerous thing, but he knew that even if he tried to persuade him, it would probably not produce any results, so he finally gave up.

All in all, this matter has nothing to do with Shigeto Tsujimoto.

However, the relationship between the two, which was originally a little broken, was repaired a lot. On one day of Shigeto Tsujimoto's birthday, the man gave him a gem... Well, actually Shigeto Tsujimoto didn't know why the other party gave him a gem, but since it was a gift from a friend, he should accept it well.

It was a very beautiful sapphire, similar in color to his pupils, but darker. It was said that this gem had the power to protect against disasters, although Tsujimoto Shigetsu didn't believe it at all.

As a return gift, Tsujimoto Shigetsu spent some of his own pocket money to buy a red gemstone as a return gift. The gemstone was very similar to the man's pupil color, but it was more pink.

Tamir's Heart is a gem that represents victory.

Maybe it also carries some kind of blessing.

However, Shigetsu Tsujimoto felt that he was still a little childish. After all, giving gemstones, which was totally out of character for him as a social animal, was simply OOC. So in his reply, he also wrote something like [no need to send similar gifts in the future], and in the end, the matter was left unresolved.

Then, he received another unexpected news from the man.

"Karasumaru Renya is dead."

A man's deep voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I will now be the boss of the Black Organization."

"Really? Congratulations."

Shigeto Tsujimoto's answer was as bland as ever.

But he sensed some subtle dissonance.

His two children cloned by the organization have grown up. One of them is called Carmen. He is lively and outgoing and is very popular with everyone.

The other child is named [Hope]... Unlike Carmen, this child is more introverted and not very close to people, especially Shigeto Tsujimoto.

He seemed to hate having the same face as Shigeto Tsujimoto, and he also didn't like the name Shigeto Tsujimoto gave him.

"I want to be myself." That's what the kid said.

"I don't want the name you gave me either. I find it disgusting!!"

So Shigeto Tsujimoto agreed to the decision to change his appearance and dye his hair, and also agreed to let the child change his name.

And his later name was [Loren Cooper].

…

"Do you remember Loren? The kid who died tragically at an underground auction?" The boss took the initiative to bring up the incident.

"I don't remember." Tsujimoto said nonchalantly.

"Didn't that kid always dislike me?"

"Loren has actually always admired and liked you, but it's a pity you don't know it." The BOSS said regretfully.

"It doesn't matter. Do you think I care?"

"Are you still struggling with the [betrayal] thing?"

"No." Putting down the cup in his hand, Tsujimoto Shigetsu shifted his gaze elsewhere.

"I can hardly remember."

The figures of several men flashed by not far away and quickly disappeared from sight.

At the same time, Shigeto Tsujimoto also noticed that a very glaring gaze was focused on him. However, Shigeto Tsujimoto completely ignored that gaze and retracted his gaze.

"Compared to those things, the time after you became the boss of the Black Organization is more unforgettable to me, right?"

When the man became the boss of the Black Organization, Shigeto Tsujimoto thought everything would be fine, but the reality was not what he thought.

The people around him suddenly started to leave or disappear with various excuses. In addition, the thing that Shigetto Tsujimoto least wanted to see happened.

As a newly appointed boss, a man must gain recognition from others as quickly as possible.

The most important thing is everything about Organization X.

The man planned to take back the power of Organization X from Shigeto Tsujimoto. He took the initiative to replace most of the employees in the organization without even telling Shigeto Tsujimoto in advance.

By the time Shigeto Tsujimoto found out, it was already too late to turn things around.

He realized what the man wanted to do, and also realized that he seemed unable to change anything. Everything happened so fast that there was only one thing he could do -

Disband Organization X and leave this place quickly.

If he doesn't leave, more old employees in the organization will be persecuted.

He doesn't want innocent people to be implicated in this tragedy.

But he had no way to explain to others. Rather than explaining, he had to ensure their safety first.

As for money...

After that, he distributed most of the money to every old employee who left the company, keeping only a small amount for himself and fled abroad as soon as possible.

His intuition told him that if he continued to stay here, the results would definitely not be good.

Besides——the man will definitely come to him.

Of course I will.

"I think you misunderstood me at first." The man continued with the previous topic.

"I didn't mean to kill you, and I just told those old employees to leave Organization X. You know, the Black Organization needs a dedicated experimental hotbed. I didn't tell you because I was too busy at the time and I really didn't have time to explain it to you."

"I can't believe the rest of what you said." Tsujimoto said calmly.

"I knew you wouldn't kill me, so you found me in the end, didn't you?"

And - it was at that time that he met the young Gin.

In other words, gin at that time was not called gin, but Kurosawa Jin.

The boy with short silver hair had a vigilant look in his eyes. He tightly grasped the hilt of the knife in his hand, and his whole body was tense.

"Don't be afraid, little one."

The man with long silver hair bowed down, smiled and said hello.

"I just wanted to talk to you. Why are you here alone? Where are your parents?"

——Another rich man with a stupid brain who came from nowhere.

This is what Kurosawa Jin thought at the time.

Children can still distinguish between good and evil, so when the man in front of him took out food and money from his pocket and handed them to him, Kurosawa Jin's first reaction was that the other person was not very smart.

"Are you a wandering kid around here? Or have you lost your parents?" the man asked again. Seeing that the other party didn't answer, he showed a headache on his face.

"Oh, never mind. This is my first time in Italy, so I don't know much about the customs here. But don't worry. I'm not a good person, but I'm definitely not a bad person either."

Although he also felt that what he said was probably nonsense, he still said what he should and shouldn't say.

"But you can't survive in a place like this alone, right? Why don't you just choose one?"

The man took out the gun from his waist, and held the wallet in his other hand. He looked at him with a smile in his azure eyes.

"You can choose to take one thing. The gun can protect you, and the money can make you live a good life for a long time. What do you think? Which one do you choose?"

Tsujimoto is convinced that there is an element of gambling involved, but he is looking forward to the choice his child will make.

His eyes gave Shigeto Tsujimoto a different feeling, and it was that look that attracted him.

What if he was given a gun? Could he really survive in this place?

It's impossible to even think about it.

Shigetsu Tsujimoto himself did not have the intention to force the other party to go with him. He admitted that he was indeed a kind person, but he was not a philanthropist. If the other party did not want to go with him, he would not force the other party to go with him.

What Shigeto Tsujimoto didn't expect was the child's next move.

He took a step forward abruptly, clasped his wrists tightly with his fingers, raised his head and looked at him.

He did not choose the purse or the gun, he chose him.

Shigeto Tsujimoto was stunned for a moment, then he smiled helplessly.

"What... I thought she would be difficult to deal with, but she turned out to be quite likable..."

"Found it!! The guy is really here!!!"

"Damn it!! Didn't I tell you to keep a close eye on him and not let him escape? What the hell are you doing?!"

"Who is that guy next to him? An accomplice? Never mind! Let's kill him together!"

...Oh no.

Shigetsu Tsujimoto instantly understood why the child wanted to catch him.

After all, he couldn’t even guarantee that he would survive, so he had to drag someone down with him!!!

…

"Gin, you just watched them leave like that?"

In the back seat of a car not far away, the silver-haired killer was leaning on the seat, holding a cigarette in one hand, his emerald green eyes staring out the window in a daze.

"I?"

Hearing Vermouth's question, Gin inadvertently snorted.

"What else can I do? If that guy really remembers, maybe he is the one who has everything firmly in his hands."

"As expected, you are the child that was picked up by that man. You seem to be very confident in him." Bermode smiled.

"If you spend a little more time with him, you will know his true strength." Gin said lightly.

"I never denied his ability, I just hated his attitude towards me."

"manner?"

“… Never mind. It’s nothing.”

The way he looked at me was still the same as the way he looked at me at the beginning.

He was willing to lend a hand to help him, but there was never any partiality in his eyes.

Now, they are simply back to square one.

"bite--"

I don't know how much time had passed, but Gin's phone suddenly vibrated. He subconsciously looked at his phone, but his eyes froze when he noticed the content of the text message.

It was a text message from a stranger, but the content of the message looked very familiar.

[Gin, if you want to get the so-called answer, I hope to meet you.]

[Of course, this doesn’t mean we will be in a partnership. Everything I do is just for him.]

There is no signature on the message, and it was obtained from a dark web intrusion. It is obvious that the other party is quite familiar with their internal network.

There is only one answer.

"Grenz wine..."

The only person who has gained Shigeto Tsujimoto's trust.

Maybe it's because I'm like a blank slate when we first meet, someone with no past, so it's easier to gain his trust?

Gin was silent for a moment, but his fingers finally typed a line of words on his phone:

[Of course, I look forward to seeing you, Grencz.]

He was also very curious about what the boss and Shigeto Tsujimoto would do next...

It would probably be quite unexpected for him.

·

"Done."

Yuma Tsujimoto closed his computer and lay down on the sofa. It was obvious that he was really tired.

"You actually went to make a date with Gin..." There was still a hint of disbelief on Furiya Rei's face.

"I used to be an internal intelligence member of the organization, and I know their intelligence network very well." Yuma Tsujimoto yawned.

"The internal affairs of the organization are basically one-way transparent to me. I think it is for this reason that the boss has always wanted to control or kill me."

"Well……"

When meeting this Grenz wine for the first time, Rei Furuya had mixed feelings.

After all, the two of them had always been at odds with each other in the organization. But now that they met again, Yuma Tsujimoto treated him very normally.

But what happened has happened, and it still makes me uncomfortable to have that thorn stuck in my heart.

“Zero.”

Zhu Fu Jingguang whispered to his childhood friend,

"Don't take it too seriously. Yu is not as difficult to get along with as you think... He's just a bit arrogant."

"Zhufu Jingguang, do you think I can't hear you?"

"I'm sorry." Zhufu Jingguang said guiltily.

"I just don't want Zero to misunderstand you."

"So what if it's a misunderstanding? Do you think I care?"

"Well……"

Sure enough, I am still angry.

However, Yuma Tsujimoto sometimes gets angry for no reason, and after a while, he actually got used to it.

"I didn't recognize you when I was in the organization before, so I'm a little confused... Anyway, I'm sorry." Furuya Rei finally spoke out what was on his mind, and the latter showed an even more disdainful expression.

"Bourbon, huh? I remember you. It's not a big deal, because I have conflicts with almost every member of the Black Organization. I don't like them, that's all."

“…”

That seems to be true.

However, when a person decides to use a malicious attitude as a protective layer to face everyone, it does give people a feeling that they are "difficult to get along with", right?

After all, Yuma Tsujimoto would have been very uneasy at that time...

"Can you tell us a little bit about your past?"

Fūya Rei continued to ask, but the moment he asked, he noticed that Morobushi Kagemitsu's face changed suddenly.

——Wait a minute!? Is it not allowed to ask??

Come to think of it, it seems a bit abrupt to ask directly about Yuma Tsujimoto's past. As expected...

"Do you want to know?" Yuma Tsujimoto glanced at him, and the emotions in his blue eyes seemed a little complicated.

"Well……"

“It’s not like I can’t tell you.”

Yuma Tsujimoto retracted his gaze and stared at the ceiling quietly.

"I can only say that within the scope of what can be said, I can reveal some necessary information to you."

"Within the scope of what can be said?" Zhu Fu Jingguang was stunned for a moment.

Can he actually say that? He had always thought that Yuma Tsujimoto would be more resistant to this matter...

But it seems that the level of trust was not reached before. Now that his brother's matter has been almost settled, and he has indeed gained Tsujimoto Yuma's trust, he was willing to say it just now, right?

Thinking about it this way, it is indeed a difficult process.

"I shouldn't have appeared in this world." Yuma Tsujimoto said lightly.

"Or, if I wasn't around, maybe my brother would feel a little more relaxed."

"Why do you say that?" Zhu Fu Jingguang was puzzled.

"Organization X was once the hard work of the people involved, but soon became the property of the Black Organization." Yuma Tsujimoto said quietly.

"Originally, this shouldn't have happened. I mean, if the original Black Organization boss was still the second generation, maybe this wouldn't have happened."

"But he hasn't been that for a long time."

"It no longer means..."

"You should know that after Karasuma Renya died, [that gentleman] quickly became the new boss of the Black Organization." Tsujimoto Yuma looked at the two of them.

"But in fact... Karasuma Renya is not dead."

"He was alive all along, but you were all deceived by his fake death."

Yuma Tsujimoto knows much more information than Shigetsu Tsujimoto.

Most of his memories were spent in the laboratory, and if he hadn't communicated with Shigetto Tsujimoto for some time later, he might not have known anything.

In fact, he didn't want to tell anyone about this, but if he kept it secret, it would not be very beneficial for Tsujimoto's next actions.

Shigeto Tsujimoto did not force him to tell it, but since he had been with Morobushi Kagemitsu for such a long time, he hesitantly thought that perhaps there were people in this world who could be trusted.

"I have actually deceived someone before." Yuma Tsujimoto said in a low voice.

"He may know, or he may not know. It doesn't matter."

"All he needs to know is that I will never betray him."

What does it matter? People always have their own selfish desires. Just like the man who wanted to keep Tsujimoto Shigetsu, even at the cost of destroying the entire laboratory.

There are too many false things, but at least human emotions are unchanging.

Since Shigeto Tsujimoto agreed to play twin brothers, then they are twin brothers.

This will never change.

If the secrets of the Black Organization were told to them, perhaps there would be a different outcome?

This was also the first time that Yuma Tsujimoto had such a thought.

"Of course, I only considered meeting Gin as a trade-off." Thinking of Gin's face, Yuma Tsujimoto's face couldn't help but darken.

"If the negotiations fail, I'll leave it to you, Morobushi Kagemitsu."

"Leave it to me?" Zhufu Jingguang was stunned for a moment.

"If the negotiation fails, we have to kill him. Otherwise, why did I spare his life that day?" Tsujimoto Yuma looked at Morobushi Kagemitsu in confusion.

"……I see."

Well, I can only say that I hope the negotiation process doesn't turn into a gunfight.
