Chapter 64
It was a very scary face.
Although it is not very polite to say this, Shigetto Tsujimoto admitted that he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw that face.
It was a face that was almost disfigured.
Perhaps he had seen it in horror or strange story illustrations, but the impact was so great that Shigeto Tsujimoto stood up in shock and subconsciously took two steps back.
He could no longer recognize the original appearance of that face. Whenever the boss appeared in front of them, he was always wrapped up tightly, without even taking off his gloves.
Now it seems that the boss did this for a reason.
That face looked like a dying person, but the old body was still gasping for breath, seeking the strength to live.
"I'm just trying to survive, my friend."
I noticed Tsujimoto Shigetsu's horrified look, but the boss' tone was still gentle.
"Even with such a request, it still doesn't move you?"
"you……"
Looking at that ugly face, Shigeru Tsujimoto subconsciously wanted to step back, but just as he was about to stand up, the other party suddenly reached out and grabbed his collar.
"Where do you want to go, Tsujimoto?"
The man was much stronger than he had imagined. Shigetto Tsujimoto tried to struggle, but was pressed against the concrete wall by the opponent. The back of his head hit it mercilessly, and a dull pain followed.
"It looks like I scared you."
The man put on the mask again, a look of regret flashed across his face.
"I thought you might soften your heart, but I was wrong."
...This horrifying face, what on earth did he go through?
All sorts of guesses suddenly crossed Tsujimoto's mind, but the degree of decay of the face did surprise him.
It has come to this point, no wonder the boss is panicking.
only……
"If you really were him, maybe I would soften my heart."
Shigeto Tsujimoto answered slowly,
"But you are not."
The air fell into silence for a moment, and then the man's laughter rang out.
"As expected of Gin, who was once the leader of the organization, when did you first discover this?"
"I discovered it after I came back." Tsujimoto said calmly.
"You are indeed very similar to him, but it is mostly just imitation. When you become friends with someone, and have been friends for many years, some details are actually easy to notice."
"I know you are Karasuma Renya, and I also know that he completed the experiment on my behalf."
"You are really smart, you are very careful." The man's fingers tightened slightly.
"If you don't say it, we can still maintain a peaceful negotiation space between us."
"Even if I didn't do that, you would have done it." Shigetto Tsujimoto let the other party hold him tightly.
"Because you never intended to let me leave from the beginning."
"You are the most perfect test subject, unlike the other guys with flaws... You should be very clear about your own value." The boss smiled.
"After all, Tsujimoto Shigetsu, everything has changed because of you. Without you, none of this tragedy would have happened."
Sure enough, after confirming that he did remember things from the past, the old guy completely turned hostile.
So the next thing to ask is about Pandora, right?
"Tell me, Tsujimoto, where is Pandora?"
Feeling the pressure coming from the other party, Shigeto Tsujimoto smiled.
"You think I'll tell you?"
"I know you won't."
The boss let go of Tsujimoto's collar. He arranged his clothes elegantly and suddenly smiled.
"Come to think of it, Shibuto-kun, you must have forgotten a lot of the past, right? I think... you should still remember the blue gem I gave you?"
“…Disaster.”
Shigeto Tsujimoto said this in a dry voice.
As a gift given to you by your most important friend, you should always carry it with you. The man's eyes became more playful.
"But have you ever thought about...is that really a gift from your friend?"
Would a true friend give a gem called [Disaster] to his friend?
How is that possible?
That's why Tsujimoto Shigetsu gave the gem away, but he didn't expect it to fall into Loren's hands.
The dark blue gemstone lay in the man's palm, just as it had been when he first saw it, filled with blinding coldness.
"Subject γ is your younger brother, Yuma Tsujimoto." The man spoke slowly.
"During that time, you have been helping to research related drugs, and you were told that the results were that these drugs would be used for mass production and benefit mankind."
"But that's not the case. Every drug and experiment you led was in the service of the Black Organization. And those drugs that were used to treat mental patients were actually used to tame and transform the experimental subject γ."
"Do you really think you have no responsibility at all for Yuujin Tsujimoto's current situation? Ah - maybe you later recognized him as your brother and took care of him like a family member to make up for the guilt in your heart?"
"...This has nothing to do with you,"
His consciousness curled up under Shigetsu Tsujimoto's fingers.
"You don't dare look me in the eye. You are guilty, Tsujimoto Shigetsu." The man continued with a smile.
"Why don't you do something a little more, even if it's just for Yushin Tsujimoto, and dedicate yourself once more?"
"Of course, you don't have to rush to answer me. Because... whether you are willing to agree to me or not, the ending has already been determined."
"Come back, Sheren. The Black Organization needs you."
…
[Ahhhhhh!!! I'm so mad!!! When will this old wall lamp die!!! Can't he just stop disrupting the relationship between the brothers!!!]
[Zhao! I remember now!! Didn't the flashback chapter say that Yuma was locked in the laboratory? He seemed to have been taking that drug during the time in the laboratory... In other words, that drug was originally developed by Shigetsu Tsujimoto? ]
[Sheren has been working hard for his friends, but he never expected to be backstabbed by the person he trusted the most... Wuwuwu!! Sheren my Sheren!! Stop paying attention to that old wall lamp!!! Go and get close to Youzhen!!]
[Almost everyone he helped betrayed him... What happened to Gin? I don't think I've seen Gin's past? ? ]
[Maybe it will be revealed when Gin and Yuma meet? After all, I think the connection between Yuma and Gin is quite subtle.]
[Indeed...if Shigaraki didn't want to take Yuma away, Gin wouldn't have been left behind by Shigaraki, right? To some extent, there is indeed a big contradiction. 】
[Wuwuwu… So the boss is still going to attack the people involved? Chao, I don’t want to see my brothers being killed!! Can’t we just be close!! I just want to see cats being close!!]
[After being cut off from all emotions, he became a puppet being manipulated... Yuma also went through this. Wait, since Yuma gradually recovered later, maybe Yuma also has the antidote left by Shibuto? ? Maybe Shibuto can still recover? ? ]
[I believe it too!! There must be a happy ending between brothers!! If brothers can’t be close to each other, some of my good things, such as my appearance, my figure, my social etiquette, my good morals, my good character, and even my soul will be destroyed!!!]
[Wuwuwuwu73, please be a human being!! Do you have to play the plot of brothers loving and killing each other!!! Why don’t we change someone else!!]
[I believe that Shibuto can still return to the red side! Although Shibuto on the black side is really exciting, at least give me a happy ending!!]
…
"Sheren, are you really going to do this?"
The silver-haired young man sat aside, with a worried look on his face.
"Of course, I am very confident about this." Tsujimoto Shibuto said firmly.
"You should trust me a little more. You agreed to listen to me at the beginning..."
"That's totally different!" Yuu Tsujimoto was really unhappy.
"You are already very unreliable by betting on Gin's trust!! That guy has already stabbed you in the back once, and you still want to trust him?? That guy is obviously..."
"I'm not sure if I trust Gin, but I'm sure I trust you." said Shigeto Tsujimoto.
"ha??"
"After all, Yuma always does a perfect job in after-sales service." Tsujimoto Shigeta thought seriously.
"If my guess is true, the boss is most likely not using his original body. He wants me to go back for two reasons: one is to get Pandora, and the other is to get a new body."
"……I know."
"It's easy now that you know that," said Tsujimoto Shigetsu.
"You still remember that our original purpose was to go home, right? In that case, why not just act it out to the end."
"If I want my Black Team value to reach 100%, then I must stay in the Black Organization, and if you want your Red Team value to reach 100%, you must also stay in the Metropolitan Police Department."
"Just proceed with the role like this. The curtain has slowly risen. All that needs to be done next is to put the actors where they should be."
…
Shigeto Tsujimoto remains the most extreme gambler.
If the other party was not Shigeto Tsujimoto, perhaps Yuma Tsujimoto would agree to such a plan, but the key is... Shigeto Tsujimoto always likes to get himself involved.
This is risky, but it is indeed the best approach.
Gaining the boss's trust, pretending to walk deeper and deeper into the quagmire... and finally delivering a perfect counterattack, it was totally in line with that person's character.
Yuma Tsujimoto is very familiar with Tsujimoto Shigetsu's situation. However, the more difficult one at the moment is Gin.
"I need your help to bring Wuren back from the Black Organization." Yuma Tsujimoto said bluntly.
"You are daydreaming." Gin sneered.
"Really? Even if someone gets killed, you will remain indifferent?" Yuma Tsujimoto's expression turned cold.
"Gin, you don't really think I will sit here and negotiate with you peacefully? Why do you think I am here, and why can you sit opposite me? Do you really think that Shi Ren doesn't care about anything?"
"…That's between him and me. It has nothing to do with you."
"Yeah, no matter what he is like, it has nothing to do with you." Tsujimoto Yuma laughed softly.
"If that's your answer, then I understand."
"Go back. For your brother's sake, I won't do anything to you. But... you will pay for everything you do next."
…
The price?
After leaving the negotiation, Gin left quickly.
The negotiation time was limited to 20 minutes. The trust between the two parties was not high at the beginning, and it seemed that the other party had no intention of convincing him.
but……
Is he really able to turn a blind eye? Or even if Shigemoto died, he would really not feel the slightest bit?
Of course that's impossible.
[Gin, the new mission has been sent to you. I think you should also know some information about the people involved.]
[I need him to get the secret of the Pandora Project. He trusts you, so you must carry out this mission.]
[Just like last time, you won't let me down, right?]
…
"Gin, the boss really trusts you enough to actually give you such an important mission."
Vermouth sat aside with an interested expression on his face.
"I don't consider this an honor." Gin said coldly.
"I thought you would be reluctant to do it, but I didn't expect you would actually be willing to do it." Belmode shrugged.
"If Shigeto Tsujimoto knew that you betrayed him one after another, he would probably be very disappointed in you, right?"
"Bermode, I've said before, this is a matter between us, and it's not your turn to make decisions."
Gin raised the gun in his hand, his expression becoming even colder.
"Let's stop talking about this. That's enough."
Some of these questions were already answered in his heart.
He remembered the location designated by the boss very clearly. He walked through the long corridor and found the silver-haired man waiting for him in the narrow basement. The man smiled slyly after he opened the door.
"Gin, you're finally here."
There was no light in the room, but Shigeto Tsujimoto seemed to have long been accustomed to such darkness and could even smile when he saw him again.
"You looked like you were having a good time. Shigeto Tsujimoto." Gin said coldly.
"The boss sent you here, right? That's right, his old body probably can't hold on for much longer. He might die before he holds on for a while longer." Shigeto Tsujimoto said with a smile.
"What do you want to express?" Gin raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Yuma should have told you everything, so I am looking forward to your answer." Shigetsu Tsujimoto held his chin and said with interest.
"Gin, I remember that you never wanted to betray the Black Organization, right? But it's true, this is the best place for you, just like I thought at the beginning."
"Even if that happens, I will not leave the Black Organization."
"I'm not asking you to leave, or rather... I think this is the best place for you."
Shigeto Tsujimoto raised his head, and the emotion in his deep blue eyes seemed to have changed.
"But. I have always been curious about one thing."
"Gin, who are you loyal to, the Black Organization or the boss of the Black Organization?"
"What do you want to express?" Gin's tone paused subtly.
"The current boss is no longer my former friend." Shigetto Tsujimoto closed his eyes, and his tone seemed to become heavier.
"I have always been a very sentimental person. If this person is important to me, then of course I will support all his ideas."
"But think about it the other way around, if his words to me are not important, do you think he still needs to live?"
"You want to kill the BOSS?" Gin seemed to realize something.
"The organization has been in that guy's hands for too long."
The silver-haired man looked him straight in the eyes, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"The Black Organization, it is indeed time for a change of regime."
·
[Zhao ah!!! This sentence is a bit too cool!! Is Sheren testing me? ! ]
[No, no, no, I think this is a little strange. Since the boss wants to use Gin to control Shi Ren, shouldn’t he have thought of this earlier? ? ]
[Wuwuwuwu, I feel something is wrong!! Why did it turn out like this!!! Is Shito being controlled or has he turned evil? ? But no matter what, it's so exciting!! ]
[This is obviously a dark transformation!! He wanted to kill the boss of the Black Organization and take his place... Wait, is it because the brainwashing was too strong and the result was the opposite effect? ? ]
[The boss was trying to catch someone but ended up biting him... Hey, after all, he usually looks very well behaved, but if he really bites, it will still hurt.]
[Wuwuwuwuwu, although it is abusive, I don’t want to see such abuse at all!!! Will the person involved still remember his brother after he turns evil? ! ! QAQ Don’t do that kind of thing!! ! ]
【Kill!! Kill and that's it!! I just want to see a river of blood.JPG, that damn old guy BOSS should be punished!! I've been annoyed with him for a long time!!】
[Having your best friend taken away from you... It must be really hard for you. The effects of the drugs plus the inner pressure may have transformed you into a completely different personality.]
[Gin, Gin, wake up! Gin, wake up! No matter what, following the new boss is definitely better than Karasuma Renya! Shibuto still cares about you! ]
[Zhao! Kicking away the old BOSS is a bit too cool!!! I support it! I agree with it with both hands and feet!!]
[You're right! So when will Naked Runner come out to fulfill his promise? Anyway, Tsujimoto Shigetsu is the black party this time, right? Remember to kick me when the live broadcast room opens. ]
[I am dying of laughter. Naked streaker, are you there? Naked streaker, please open the door. We promise not to persecute you.]
[Hahahaha, stop persecuting me one after another! I'm almost scared of you guys and I'm shrinking back...]
…
So the plan continued along the original route.
He doesn't necessarily have to gain Gin's trust, but revealing this information to him is a necessary choice and the top priority of the next plan.
Of course, it is impossible for Shigeto Tsujimoto to place all his hopes on him, but he still hopes that he can have more options.
As for the rest... it's just a matter of waiting for someone to take the bait.
"The stone, called Pandora, is hidden on a ship."
The silver-haired man spoke slowly. When he raised his head, the azure blue eyes had lost some of their luster.
"I know where the ship is, but even if I want to get Pandora, it will take a lot of time and effort."
"All the secrets are there, I told you, just give me a moment."
Tsujimoto eventually informed the organization of the plans related to Pandora.
This was also the answer obtained after Gin's investigation. He still trusted Gin, which made the organization quite satisfied.
"That cruise ship, I remember it will be docked in the port next week or so?" Belmode asked with interest.
"If you want to get the gem, you'll probably have to go on a cruise ship - and you have to get it while you're on the ship. There are probably a lot of people eyeing Pandora."
"It must succeed." The boss's voice was hoarse.
"We only have one chance, there is no room for failure, we must succeed
"I understand." Gin said.
"I will definitely get Pandora."
This time the operation is still led by Gin and Shigeto Tsujimoto, but their actions will be monitored remotely by the BOSS not far away, so it may be difficult for them to do anything.
However, Shigeto Tsujimoto was not panicked at all, after all, he had a cheat.
[Really? Are you going to get Pandora? Pandora is on that ship? How come I don’t know about this? ]
The system seemed more confused than the others.
"It's normal that you don't know." Tsujimoto replied nonchalantly.
[Because I was just talking nonsense.]
[??? Nonsense??? Are you kidding me?! If you lied to your boss like this, you should know how serious the matter is!!]
[But I didn’t lie.] Tsujimoto’s expression was innocent.
[Just because he's not here now doesn't mean he won't be here in the future. Besides, I don't care if the boss finds out. I only care if he takes the bait.]
[Are you stupid?! If you fail you will die! !]
[Will my death have a serious impact on you?] Shigetto Tsujimoto suddenly asked.
[In fact, I have always been curious... I am not that important to you, right? In other words, if I am just one of your millions of hosts, there is no need for you to spend too much time on me.]
[Either you are still hiding something from me, or you really care about me. Which do you think is more likely?]
[you--]
The system became silent halfway through his words.
[You can't answer, right?] Shigetto Tsujimoto laughed.
[That’s right, if you could answer that, you wouldn’t have hidden it from me in the first place.]
[I’m really doing this for your own good!! You have no idea of my good intentions… Hey! You shouldn’t have given that Pandora to that guy!!]
[When did I say I would give it to him?]
Shigetsu Tsujimoto answered nonchalantly,
[The only thing I can give him is probably backstab, right?]
[How dare you say it out loud! ! ]
The system now only feels extremely tired.
It looks like the host is going to perform all the way to Black Crazy, which should be a good thing, but...
But why does he feel that everything is weird? ?
