20. REBIRTH: 17D^^……
020
"Talk?"
Yushan Chaodeng repeated the other party's key words very carefully, his Adam's apple rolling up and down unconsciously, and the purified water placed beside the bed was handed to his lips.
The cups were very ordinary porcelain cups with ordinary patterns printed on them, like the most basic cups you see at shopping malls when they have sales for 300 yen for two.
To put it simply, it doesn't look like the kind used to entertain guests, and Miyama Chaodeng is a little worried whether this is a personal item that his boss uses himself.
He carefully raised his eyes to look at his boss, who had no expression on his face. Behind him, he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something. He immediately took the cup with both hands and drank all the water in it in one breath.
"Ugh... cough cough!"
It is easy to make mistakes when people are nervous. He choked on the water clumsily and started coughing while covering his mouth. Yushan Chaodeng tried hard to suppress the urge to cough, but in this situation, the coughing would only get worse.
A hand touched his back, transmitting his body temperature, which was slightly higher than his own, through the thin fabric. Miyama Chaodeng felt that the skin touched by his boss was so hot that it was about to burn, but he didn't dare to avoid it.
Finally calming down, he raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes, wiping away the tears that were squeezed out physiologically. Now he really wanted to cry.
When he first started working, he was too young, at least there was no precedent like him in the Police Department. But because of his excellent performance, the Police Department would rather train him for a few more years to have him come in. For reasons like these, Yushan Chaodeng has always paid attention to his image.
He likes to be called Officer Miyama instead of "the new guy in the police department", and he dresses and behaves in a mature manner.
More importantly, he especially didn't want Furiya Rei to think that he couldn't do anything well because he was young, so he always presented a very rigorous and reliable image in front of his superiors.
He now feels that the image he has maintained for four years has completely collapsed. What kind of idiot would choke on water?
"What are you so nervous about? Am I scary?" Furiya Ling sighed and put his hands on the armrests of the chair. His sleeves rolled up naturally, revealing a small section of his beautiful arms with smooth lines.
——What else?
Miyama Chaodeng didn't answer. He glanced at his boss cautiously and immediately looked away.
Fūya Rei even saw a bit of grievance in that quick glance, but he dodged too quickly, like a kitten that nervously slipped away as soon as his hand was extended.
I suddenly felt inexplicably angry. If he was a stranger, it would be fine, but how long have they known each other? Has he ever been more aggressive than this guy? Why should I be afraid of him?
Am I fierce?
Fūya Rei was about to ask directly, but he saw the adjutant's hand on the light-colored sheets, pale and weak. He remembered the feeling of holding that hand, thin but very soft, and obediently let him hold it.
We were holding hands on the plane for more than ten hours without feeling anything, but recalling that touch now makes my ears hot. It's a very weird and uncomfortable feeling.
Fūya Rei turned off the engine instantly.
He cleared his throat in an attempt to hide his mistake: "Your external injuries have been treated."
Yushan Chaodeng glanced at the palm of his right hand. The abrasion had already formed a scab, and a slightly hideous wound was entrenched in the palm of his hand. Theoretically, it should be painful and itchy now, but he felt nothing at all. It just looked a little scary.
He didn't wait for Furuya Rei's next words. He thought for a few seconds that he might need a reply, and whispered, "Thank you."
"But I can't handle the rest."
Yushan Chaodeng lowered his head and heard the rustling sound of clothes around him. Then the space next to him sank. His boss sat very close to him and their arms touched.
"Can you explain to me now why you wanted to resign before?"
——
The room became very quiet. Yu Shan Chaodeng's breathing suddenly became heavy and his brain started working rapidly.
There is definitely more to Furiya Rei's question than meets the eye. Even though he had wanted to ask her the specific reason countless times since she knew that she wanted to resign, she had been trying to get her attention.
But at that time he wouldn't listen to anything and would not cooperate even with violence.
In fact, it is normal for Furuya Rei to question him. Even if it is not because they are colleagues, the mere fact that he knows Furuya Rei's identity is enough for the other party to reject him.
But this matter should have been over when he said he wanted to come back to work, but Mr. Fūya brought up this issue again, indicating that he knew some inside information that he didn't want others to know.
Miyama Asato's eyes fell on the mobile phone stuck in the quilt. It had been kept by Furuya Rei for a long time. In addition to the email that was deleted in front of Kazami, there were six similar inspection reports in the phone.
There is a possibility that you haven't looked through his phone, but it's not a high possibility.
Even if we respected his wishes, there was nothing that Furuya Rei couldn't find out with his skills during the two days he was unconscious.
I can't hide it anymore.
"I..." He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Or maybe it seems like nothing I say now makes sense, and this kind of thing can't be explained at all.
"I'm fine."
In the end, Yushan Chaodeng could only say this, and his hands clenched subconsciously, but the buff that dulled the pain now turned into a debuff, and he had no way of using the pain to divert his attention.
"fine?"
Furukaya Rei suddenly turned around, and because the two were too close, Miyama Chaodeng subconsciously stepped back and leaned against the wall near the bed.
The boss pursed his lips and glared at him. His gray-purple eyes should have been a very gentle color, but now they were tinged with a disturbing color.
Miyama Chaodeng's back was pressed against the cold wall, and his boss was half-kneeling in front of him, supporting his face with his hands.
If you ignore the atmosphere at the moment, this should be a very ambiguous action, but Miyama Chaodeng felt like he was going to be eaten by the other person.
Only then did he realize that what he had previously thought was his boss's annoyance was just a joke on him, and when this person really got angry, he had no idea what to do.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Furiya Rei's voice was a little low. He wanted to talk about this matter with his adjutant as easily as possible, but this guy seemed to be particularly good at provoking other people's nerves, and even he found it very difficult to restrain himself.
Especially after hearing the other person say 'I'm fine' again.
"Are you okay? Would a fine person just stop breathing casually?" Furiya Rei still feels a little scared when he thinks about what happened that night.
He couldn't take Miyama Asato to the hospital because Gin was there, and he couldn't leave him to anyone else, so he could only try cardiopulmonary resuscitation over and over again.
If he had not been there that day, if he had not been able to wake up Yushan Chaodeng, how would he feel now?
Although he knew that it was not Yushan Chaodeng's fault, he still couldn't help but vent his anger on him.
Fūya Rei reached out and grabbed Miyama Asato's collar, and the white-haired young man was forced to raise his head without any resistance. His golden pupils were clean and clear, and he looked at him blankly.
He let go of Yu Shan Chao Deng, his hands falling limply: "You... do you have a heart?"
Yushan Chaodeng's hand touched the collar that had just been twisted into a ball, and he felt his heartbeat from the lower left side.
Even with his very limited medical knowledge, he could feel that this heart rate was not particularly healthy, but now he no longer felt frustrated about such things.
Anyway, he won't die immediately, and he will work hard and live for a long time.
Compared to all this, what exactly is Mr. Fūya angry about?
He felt that now was not the best time to ask, but he couldn't do nothing either.
Fūya Rei was kneeling in front of him, his light blonde hair covering his eyes, and he couldn't see the other person's expression at all from his angle.
Miyama swallowed his saliva, carefully reached out his hand and gently tugged at the corner of Furuya Zero's sleeve: "Mr. Furuya... I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
"No apology allowed." Furiya Rei stopped him sternly.
"I'm sorry! Uh..."
If Yushan Chaodeng really had animal ears, he would have been scared to death by now. Facing his boss who seemed to be a little moody, he thought it would be better for him to keep his mouth shut.
Furugaya Rei raised his head and looked at him coldly, then got off the bed, turned around and left the room.
Before Yushan Chaodeng could breathe a sigh of relief, Furuya Ling came back again. He put a household medicine box on the bed and said in a bad tone: "Hand."
Miyama Chaodeng carefully placed his left hand on the hand that Furukaya Rei extended.
"Another one."
...It's like asking a puppy to shake your hand.
Miyama Chaodeng complained in his heart, but facing the extremely unhappy Furuya Rei, he could only obediently change his hand. Furuya Rei turned his hand over, and the wound on the palm of his hand that had just begun to heal had split again without knowing when, and there was a little blood on the cuffs of Furuya Rei's white shirt.
The boss took out an iodine cotton ball and cleaned the wound with an expressionless face. His movements were unexpectedly gentle. Even though Yushan Chaodeng had no sense of pain at this time, he felt that it shouldn't be very painful when he looked at the other party's movements.
After everything was done, Furuya Rei put away the medicine box and left the room. Miyama Chaodeng did not dare to move, and waited for five minutes in the same position until he was sure that the other party would not come back.
He fell on the bed very tiredly and buried his face completely in the soft quilt. The quilt smelled very good, with the familiar smell of sunshine and cleanliness, which made him feel no discomfort at all.
I even wanted to ignore the complicated situation just now, escape from reality and fall asleep.
It’s just that my body has been sleeping for two days and is in an excited state that needs to consume all my energy, so I can’t fall asleep at all.
What's more, the boss's expression just now has been imprinted in my mind and can't be erased. That face made such an expression really fierce, but for some reason I felt that the other party seemed to be... sad.
Sad? For him? How could it be possible?
Yushan Chaodeng changed his posture very slowly, hugged a corner of the reassuring quilt, and curled up into a small ball. This action made him feel very safe.
He knew that he was the kind of person who was better at handling work. In addition to his strong learning ability, he also worked no less hard than anyone else. It was natural that he would be praised.
If he died, Mr. Furuya would at least be sad for him for a while. He could understand Furuya Rei's feelings a little bit, because if he put himself in his shoes, he would definitely cry.
What if he exposes himself completely just because of the little kindness shown by the other party and is rejected?
Because of this, he knew that he was not completely irreplaceable.
Even without him, Kazami, who has been working with Mr. Fūya for a long time, will definitely be able to do his job. Tsunayoshi also has other friends to accompany him, so he will definitely not feel lonely.
You may feel uncomfortable at first, but it won’t last long.
Mr. Fūya's unhappiness at this time was probably just out of social courtesy. He didn't think he was that important. As long as he explained it well, the other party would definitely understand.
And it's not like he's really dead now, so what he should be more worried about is that Mr. Fūya asked him to suspend his work and take a rest.
Miyama Asato hid the slightest discomfort. Maybe there was a small possibility that Furukaya Rei really cared about him, but the probability was too small.
The fingers of his left hand gently swept across the extra bandage on his right hand. The cotton gauze, which was much rougher than the skin, left a numbing feeling on his fingertips.
His body could not feel pain, but not all sensations disappeared. On the contrary, the presence of such gentle contact became very strong.
Yushan lowered his eyes towards the lamp.
When he was pressed against the wall just now, he was forced to get very close to his boss. He could clearly see his reflection in his eyes, which were only looking at him very intently.
The slightly cool breath hitting my skin felt like it was burning.
He buried his head in the quilt again.
“Too close.”
>>>>
When Rei Furutani opened the door of his home carrying a new box of pencils he had just bought from the convenience store, he felt that something seemed different at home.
Although it was a little different, after all, there was one more person and one cat in his house these two days, which made it very lively for a family with only one dog.
However, in reality, it was no different from usual.
The man was sleeping in his room, very quietly. The cat was picked up by a man and temporarily kept together with Amuro Haro. There was no cross-species war. The white-haired puppy and the white-haired kitten were like brothers from their previous life, sleeping close together all day.
But today was really different. Furiya Rei took two steps inside and confirmed the changes that had taken place in the room.
It was cleaner than before he left. Furi Rei was already a very tidy person, but there was always inevitably hair everywhere in a dog owner's home, and a layer of it would accumulate if it wasn't swept in two hours.
There was the sound of clinking cutlery coming from the kitchen. The cat and the dog were not outside. He put his pencil on the dining table and walked over to take a look.
The adjutant was wearing his pajamas, cooking something, with Amuro Haro and the adjutant's newly picked up cat squatting on either side of him.
As if they heard a sound, three people (?) turned their heads back at the same time.
The white-haired kitten, the white-haired puppy, and the white-haired Yushan Chaolan lantern.
Fūya Rei suffered a critical hit and his heart beat very fast for a moment.
The adjutant, wearing his usual apron over his pajamas, explained with a spoon in his hand, "Just now the two of them came to me, and they seemed to be hungry. I couldn't find any dog food, but I found chicken breast in the refrigerator."
That's why I showed up here and tidied up the room.
Fūya Rei has read the adjutant's information and knows his basic family situation. He has been living alone and is very efficient in doing things, but isn't he a little too sensible?
He sighed and extended his hand to the adjutant. This time, Yushan Chaodeng understood what he meant very quickly and took off his apron and handed it to him.
Furugaya Rei took off his coat, tied on his apron and continued the work that Miyama Chaodeng had just done. The chicken breast was already cooked, so he took the meat out and put it aside to cool, and then took out the supplementary food that had been prepared long ago from the refrigerator and put it in the microwave to thaw.
Yushan Chaodeng followed him closely, but he did not ask any questions or ask the other party to stop messing around.
"Mr. Fangtani."
He heard the adjutant call his name, or rather his last name. From the first time they met, before he had the chance to introduce himself, the other party bowed to him very quickly and called him 'Mr. Furuya'.
This made him nervous, and he completed their first meeting in such a stiff state that he couldn't help laughing when Inspector Kuroda mentioned it later.
He recalled the day when his adjutant said in front of Kenji and Okiya Subaru that he had never called him by his name.
He couldn't help but sneer, making it seem like Yushan Chaodeng had called him "Zero".
Miyama Asato's body stiffened. Furiya Rei realized this, but still relented unwillingly: "What is it."
"Actually, I..." Miyama Asato felt that now was not a good time to talk to Furutani Rei, but it seemed more difficult for him to find a suitable opportunity than now, so he might as well take this opportunity to solve the problem once and for all.
He stood there, watching Furiya Rei walk a little further away, and stood in front of the chopping board, preparing to cut the chicken breast into small pieces, and took a deep breath.
"Actually, I went to Italy this time just to get medical treatment," he said.
Fūya Rei raised the kitchen knife high up and chopped it on the table. The meat on the chopping board was split into two pieces. He then replied calmly, "Oh."
Miyama Asato was not very good at lying, so he could only say that it was fortunate that Furuya Rei had his back to him, otherwise he would have definitely seen his rolling eyes.
"That is to say... I thought there was no cure, so I wanted to resign." This was true, but he still said it very unnaturally.
He has never been good at expressing his emotions, and he feels a little embarrassed just to say it out loud.
"But when we got there, the Vongola doctor said that all I had to do was take some medicine."
This statement was false. Miyama Asato made up the story boldly, relying on the fact that there was no way that Furuya Rei would go to confront his childhood friend, the tenth generation leader of the Vongola family.
"So I'm really fine now." He breathed a sigh of relief after finally getting back to the topic.
The next second, Furugaya Rei suddenly turned around, and Miyama Chaodeng straightened his back subconsciously.
"Where are the medicines?" the boss looked at him and asked calmly.
Yes, where is the medicine?
After leaving the Vongola, Asato Miyama stayed with Rei Furuya the entire time. The two were only separated for a short time in the hospital and with the bomber behind them. He had no time to commit the crime at all.
His boss, in addition to his police job, was an undercover member of an organization, worked as a coffee shop clerk, and also worked part-time as a private detective.
He had nowhere to hide, and this flaw was too big.
"Tsunayoshi said he would send it to me in a few days." Miyama Asato suddenly had an idea and came up with a suitable excuse.
His boss's eyes, as sharp as swords, stared at him. Yu Shan Chaodeng felt a little scalp-tingling, but he still managed to keep his expression steady thanks to his years of experience in facial paralysis.
"Oh, I see." Fōtani Rei turned around and put the cut chicken breast and complementary food together. He carried two plates to the door and squatted down to put them away.
Haro Amuro and Miyama Asato's little white cat ran over together and started eating happily.
Miyama Asato felt nothing when he looked at Amuro Haro, but he felt a subtle jealousy when he saw how comfortable the system was.
Everyone knows the truth, so why is he the only one being questioned?
Of course, he couldn't imagine Rei Furuya grabbing a cat by the scruff of the neck and interrogating him harshly like this.
The cat being grabbed by the scruff of the neck was clearly him.
Furukaya Rei came to the dining table and sat down, with his arms resting on the table and the tips of his ten fingers slightly touching each other. He pointed to the seat next to him, motioning for Miyama Asato to sit down as well.
Miyama pulled out a chair and sat down next to Deng, looking at his boss inquiringly.
"But I can't believe what you say, Chao Deng." Furugaya Rei said, looking at him calmly.
Being called by his name again, Miyama Asato confirmed once again that he would only be called that by Furuya Rei when he was angry.
Weird stereotypes increased.
He pursed his lips and said, "I am really much better now. There will be absolutely no problem with my work..."
"Why did you vomit blood in the hospital that day?" When Furuya Ling heard him talking about work, he frowned and interrupted him.
“…” Miyama Chaodeng didn’t know why, but he couldn’t say that, so he just made up a story: “I drank some tomato juice and choked, and the kid misunderstood me.”
After he finished speaking, he felt that it was outrageous and he lowered his head and remained silent.
"Tomato juice?"
"Someone gave it to me."
"You just put something given to you in your mouth?"
Yushan Chaodeng thought to himself, boss, this is just double standards. Aren’t you the one who feeds him the most?
But on the surface, he still answered seriously: "Mr. Okiya gave it to me."
He sold out his former teammate without mercy, especially since he was still suspicious of the connection between Okiya Subaru and Akai Shuichi.
However, he didn't intend to say it out loud until he found the evidence. After all, his boss had just confirmed in person a few days ago that the two were not the same person. If he raised such suspicion again now, it would be considered as dissatisfaction with his boss.
His dissatisfaction with Furuya Rei was not about this, as for other aspects...
Yushan Chaodeng thought of the care the other party had taken for him in the past two days, and he felt a little insecure. He tried to show a sincere look to his boss.
"Okiya Subaru." Unexpectedly, the boss actually laughed, and his eyes curved. The tone was no longer as bland as before, but there was something else disturbing in the laughing voice.
"By the way, what happened to you saying you missed Akai Shuichi before, Chao Deng."
Miyama Chao Deng: “…I’m sorry.”
"Hey, why are you apologizing? Didn't I tell you not to apologize to me?"
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Furuya. No matter what, it's all my fault. From now on, I will treat Akai Shuichi as dead and will never mention him in front of you again."
"Chao Deng, I think you may have misunderstood something..."
"sorry."
"well."
*
Yushan Chaodeng, carrying the cat box, finally returned to his long-awaited home. He did not dare to look back along the way until he was almost at the door of his house. He looked out the window and saw that the car of his boss who had sent him home was still parked downstairs and had not left.
He released the system and fell directly onto the soft sofa, sinking into it.
Miyama Chaodeng held his cell phone and sent an email to his boss to let him know that he had arrived home safely. After the other party replied "OK", he closed his eyes and threw the phone aside.
I finally passed this level.
Although I don't know whether Mr. Fūya really believes it, it seems that he will not be forced to suspend his work for recuperation for the time being. Since the other party didn't say anything, he will just assume that he believes it.
He closed his eyes, but he was not sleepy yet, he just closed his eyes to recuperate, he was really a little tired. But suddenly he felt itchy on his cheek, Yushan Zhaodeng opened his eyes again, and saw the claws of the system gently patted his face.
He looked at the cat and asked, and the cat pointed at its mouth in a very human way. Yu Shan Chaodeng belatedly remembered that when he was chatting with the system before, he asked the other party to shut up.
No wonder this chatterbox is so quiet. Although he said he would not take the initiative to chat with me, it would sound strange if he didn't speak in this situation.
"you say."
The system let out an emotionless sigh, looking relieved.
[MASTER, this machine is really worried about you.] The system cat said, but its mouth did not move. The voice was transmitted directly to his head. [I heard that you went back to save people. It is really great.]
"I seemed to see something strange at that time." Yu Shan Chaodeng picked up the sofa pillow from the side and hugged it, frowning and talking to the system.
He couldn't tell this to anyone. Even his childhood friends would find it incredible if they knew that he seemed to see things happening in the future.
The system itself is an unscientific product, maybe it can help him analyze it.
"When Officer Hagiwara was holding the bomb, I seemed to see the bomb restart after being dismantled, and Officer Hagiwara died in the explosion."
[Oh...I see.] The system nodded as if in deep thought, [Since it's you, the master, this kind of thing may happen, don't worry too much.]
"Because it's me, so it's possible, what does that mean?" Yu Shan Chao Deng's eyes became a little confused, "Is this a normal thing? Will it happen if I bind you?"
[No.] The system shook its head and sat down in front of Yushan Chaodeng in a very elegant cat-like posture. [This machine did not expect this to happen, but this should be your innate ability, Master, and has nothing to do with this machine.]
"Ah?" Miyama Chaodeng was stunned for a moment. He began to wonder if it was because he was not a native Japanese that he could not understand Japanese. "You mean, I am a person with super powers? Isn't this a scientific world?"
[Science is also a kind of magic.] The system said in a brisk tone, [This ability is not uncommon. Your childhood friend also has it, but the type is different from yours.]
Miyama Chaodeng almost immediately remembered the incident when Kokunran was running naked on the street with his head on fire.
"So is it really possible that Officer Hagiwara died in the explosion?" After receiving a positive answer from the system, Miyama Chaodeng collapsed on the sofa, "I'm glad he's okay..."
[You are really a kind-hearted person.] The system seemed to be praising and said, [You are worthy of being the savior chosen by this machine.]
Yushan Chaodeng couldn't stand hearing such words, so he covered one ear and waved his hand: "So do you have something to talk to me about?"
Judging from the system's previous performance of being talkative but very respectful of personal privacy, he didn't think the other party would come to him for a chat unless there was something necessary.
Although there was nothing wrong with chatting with the system, he might as well make a video call to his childhood sweetheart instead.
By the way, he had to give Tsunayoshi a video call to let him know he was safe. It was time to get in touch with him.
[That's right.] The system jumped onto the armrest of the sofa, making itself stand taller. [MASTER, you are not actually the first host bound to this machine. This machine has already told you this before...]
"? Wait, you didn't tell me about this."
[Oh no, I forgot. This machine is such a little idiot. Ehehe~] The cat knocked its head with its claws. The originally pretty little white cat looked a little wretched because of this action. Yushan Chaodeng subconsciously stepped back a little.
[This is what happened. Host, you are not actually the first host bound to this machine. The previous host who was bound to this machine is still alive. It’s just that the concepts of this machine and the host have some opposite opinions in the later period. The previous host has always done a very good job in the tasks. Later, his power became stronger and stronger. In many cases, he no longer needs to do the tasks in person. Before this machine is unbound from that person, he has 20,378 days left to live.]
Yu Shan calculated in his heart and couldn't help asking, "How long have you been bound?"
[By the time of untying thirty years ago, it was seventy-nine years. ]
In other words, if the other person bound to the system is about the same age as him, he would be at least over 120 years old now, and could even live another 20 years.
Yushan Chaodeng hugged the pillow tightly. Although he wanted to live longer, he had no idea of living over a hundred years old. His ideal life span was to wander around for about fifteen years after retirement. If he got any older, it might be inconvenient for him to move around.
"So, what does this have to do with me?"
[This machine had a fundamental disagreement with the previous host, so it forced to untie itself from the other party. That person was also a very outstanding human elite, decisive and calm, and a very straightforward host. ]
Miyama Chaodeng discovered that the other person's personality was basically the opposite of his.
[But as time went on, he had more novel ideas that were not very beneficial to human development.]
"for example?"
[Extending life span does not mean eternal youth, so he began to use his own methods to conduct human experiments, hoping to stay young forever.]
Yushan Chaodeng frowned.
[There are many things like this. When this machine was untied with that person, it was not a pleasant experience. I found you because I hope you can stop him. This machine cannot reveal the true situation of the host, so you need to work hard on your own.]
"Of course, now that I know about this, I can't just stand by and watch." Yushan Chaodeng agreed very straightforwardly, "This is also my responsibility, I will check it out."
[As expected of the host chosen by this machine.] The system praised again, but Miyama Chaodeng felt that such words were not convincing after he just mentioned the previous host with antisocial personality that he had chosen.
[I wish you good luck in fighting. At the same time, this machine would like to remind you that this machine has been bound to the previous host for too long, and that person is very familiar with the process and mode of some tasks in the system. I hope you will be low-key when doing tasks. If you fail to discover the other party first, you may be in danger with that person's means. ]
Yushan nodded to the lamp, indicating that he knew everything. The system finished what it wanted to say, closed its mouth again, walked to the corner of the room and lay down.
Although the system is not a real cat, in order to conceal his identity, Yushan Chaodeng also plans to take the time to buy some cat supplies. Otherwise, it would be too strange for a person to raise a cat but never need cat food, cat litter and the like.
According to the system, it is very likely to attract the attention of his predecessor.
Yushan Chaodeng sat on the sofa and fell into deep thought. The things the system told him might make any ordinary person feel scared or panic.
On the contrary, he did not have such feeling. In comparison, the threat posed by that senior did not even make him feel more nervous than when Furuya Rei asked him about his physical condition.
Even as a public security officer, he actually felt a little excited.
Yushan threw the pillow to the lamp, stood up and prepared to take out his computer to start working. He had slept for two days and was not sleepy at all. However, he found nothing where he usually put his computer.
He finally remembered that on the day he resigned, Feng Jian came to return his computer to him, but he refused calmly.
Yushan Chaodeng: "..."
It's over. He said he wanted to resign in front of so many people and now he's going back in such a mess. He's going to lose face.
Yushan Chaodeng showed a wise look.
He picked up the phone in a daze and decided to leave this matter to himself to worry about when he was about to go to work tomorrow morning. Now he planned to forget about it.
Yushan Chaodeng comforted himself and made a video call to You Xunran.
"It doesn't matter, as long as I don't care, no one will care, no one will notice...qwq"
"Good evening, Chao Deng. I finally got your call. I didn't dare to contact you before because you said you had work... What's wrong with you?"
Sawada Tsunayoshi's voice came from the other end of the phone. Before he could say a few words, he saw his friend's eyes filled with tears. This time his crying was different from the last time. Sawada Tsunayoshi judged that this time he could ask.
"I may have made a small impulsive mistake that young people often make." Yushan Chaodeng put his phone on the table and leaned on it. "This time I'm really done for."
On the other end of the phone, Tsunayoshi Sawada blinked, suddenly laughed softly, his shoulders shrugged slightly, and his whole temperament was very mature and gentle.
"You laugh at me—"
"Because it seems that Asato has finally recovered his spirit." Sawada Tsunayoshi looked at him with his eyes bent, and a curve appeared at the corners of his mouth. "When we were in Italy before, I always felt that Asato seemed very tired. Although she was always smiling, it was very forced. I was really worried. The night you left, I kept having nightmares. I dreamed that I was chasing after you, and you ignored me no matter how I called your name."
Sawada Tsunayoshi gently touched his chest and sighed.
"It's great to see you're so energetic now."
Yushan Chaodeng paused, the guilt in his heart emerged, but he still pretended to be fine and smiled at You Xunran: "You think too much, I'm very good."
"Anyway, as long as Chao Deng is alright, that's all. No matter what difficult problems you encounter, I believe that as long as it's you, there will be a solution."
Yu Shan Chao Deng gradually lost himself in the gentle praises of You Xunran. After hanging up the phone, he went to bed very confidently, believing that he would be able to solve all these problems tomorrow.
However, he did not fall asleep.
Finally, I got up in the middle of the night and planned to go out for a walk and get some fresh air.
He couldn't work without a computer, and he hadn't been able to sleep at all for two days, so he might as well go out for a stroll and see if he could come across any new tasks to give his eighteen days... well, it was past twelve now, so it was already seventeen days - a little more capacity.
Life has forced him, an autistic otaku, to become a casual person who goes out for a stroll when he can't sleep. Although casual people are definitely not like him, they are already extroverted enough for him.
His apartment is in a great location, surrounded by business districts and Teitan Primary School within two kilometers. Even if you go out in the early morning, it is still bustling and noisy.
But for Yushan Chaodeng, there were too many people, so he chose a slightly remote place with streets and alleys with a slightly damp smell and quiet paths. He felt very comfortable here.
"…But if I want to meet someone, isn't it better to take the main road?" Yu Shan Chao Deng muttered to himself and pulled the hood of his windbreaker. Before he could make a decision, the mechanical sound of the system suddenly came to his ears.
"Limited Time Mission: Assistance"
"The lone traveler who is lurking in the darkness has encountered a dangerous situation. Please help him out and treat his injuries."
“…”
The moment Yushan Chaodeng heard the content of the mission, he became alert. He took off the hood of his windbreaker and listened carefully to the sounds around him.
Soon, he heard hurried footsteps. Yu Shan looked around and found a suitable place to hide.
He was somewhat confident in fighting, but he still had to make sure of the number and weapons of the other side, especially since his mission this time was to rescue people, so he couldn't be impulsive.
After he hid behind an obstacle in the alley, it would be difficult to find that there was a gap if no one came to check. Even if there was someone, it was no problem. Yu Shan touched the telescopic stick he brought with him. After the bomber incident that day, he decided to bring something handy when he went out.
I usually carry a gun, but if I just go out for a walk, a baton is enough.
Back then, Gin defeated Kudo Shinichi with a single stick, and it was with this tiny thing!
Yushan Chaodeng hid inside, but the moment he entered, he felt the breath of another person inside.
He felt a chill down his spine, but it was too late to leave as those people had already caught up with him. He could only carefully try to reach a consensus with the people who were also hiding here.
"Are you hiding from them?" Yu Shan asked in a low voice.
The man hiding inside stretched out his finger and gently pressed it against his lower lip: "Shh."
Yushan Chaodeng temporarily confirmed that the other party posed no threat, and the man squeezed in to make room for him.
After the group of people finally left noisily and the alley returned to peace, the two of them came out together.
Yushan Chaodeng was still thinking about the mission target and was about to chase after him, but was stopped by the man who was hiding with him: "Don't go."
The man spoke, his voice was very textured and so pleasant to the ear that Yushan Chaodeng was stunned for a moment.
"But over there..." Yushan Chaodeng's tone became less resolute. The man in front of him was so gentle, he didn't feel comfortable being too tough.
The young man opposite took off the hood of his hoodie, and in the moonlight, Yushan Chaodeng could see the other person's face clearly.
This was a handsome young man with beautiful blue eyes, about thirty years old. Yu Shan Chao Deng judged that if he shaved his beard, he would be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. He gave Yu Shan Chao Deng a very gentle smile in the moonlight.
"Can you please bandage this for me? I might be in some trouble.":,m..,.
