It is now 12:04 a.m. Tokyo time.
It was a cloudy day with high humidity, and even the cherry blossoms on the window were covered with wet stains, turning their pink into a dark red.
As if bearing a heavy pressure, a few petals suddenly fell from the tree. Under the action of the gravity of the dew, they hit the soil with a "pop". In an instant, water, flowers and soil mixed together, inseparable.
So that people can even come and reach out to rescue.
Just like the white figure falling into the sea under the night sky, being wrapped in black dew and transformed into a burning butterfly, equally hard to let go and hard to catch.
Zhu Fu Jingguang stood quietly by the window, his face expressionless.
The cat's eyes that usually carried a warm smile were now empty, like newly installed glass beads, without even a hint of color.
His smile had disappeared for a long time, and even he himself could not remember when he last smiled.
Was it the moment when you learned that your predecessor had been rescued and his life was no longer in danger?
Or was it the moment when you received that bizarre dream and felt there was hope of saving people?
Is his smile real, or does it bring disaster?
Zhu Fu Jingguang has always liked to make others worry about him. He is used to taking care of himself and others, hiding all his emotions in his heart and showing tenderness and warmth.
However, he boasted that he was a qualified caregiver, which led to the softening of Kamiya Tetsuya's attitude, leading to him boarding the ghost ship with him, leading to him being discovered by Gin and hunted down by Rum...
He is the most profound comparison group, the one who is saved in the two choices.
Just like dominoes, all it takes is a slight push and everything will fall apart.
And the one who pushed it forward... was Zhufu Jingguang.
It's him.
Zhu Fu Jingguang bent down helplessly, holding his heart tightly with both hands, breathing rapidly and lightly, as if he was afraid of being heard.
His eye sockets were very dry, and a tear was about to flow, or perhaps it had already dried up, and even blinking was painful, but Zhu Fu Jingguang did not dare to close his eyes, for fear that after closing his eyes, he would never be able to open them again.
He felt like a mouse with an iron plate full of needles under his feet. He had been trembling with fear and barely living along the cracks, but he accidentally discovered that there was another mouse here, and that mouse looked weaker and more worthy of sympathy than him.
So Zhu Fu Jingguang went over naturally, wanting to help it run out of the box, but he didn't know that his help caused the needle board under his feet to tilt, causing the stable point that the mouse had found with great difficulty to disappear completely.
The needles hurt, so they could only stop and jump around in the wraps, but the wounds only got worse.
There is another solution.
As long as one of the mice gave up the struggle and the other stood on it, it would be safe and sound without even a scratch.
There will be a little bit...
Morofushi Kagemitsu will never forget the scene in which he was tied to the iron bed and watched helplessly as Matsuda Jinpei said he would exchange him and give up on Kamiya Tetsuya.
The latter's expression was painful, yet there was an invisible sense of relief.
Because Morobushi Kagemitsu will survive, because in the eyes of the police, Morobushi Kagemitsu is far more valuable than Kamiya Tetsuya.
He... won.
The mouse chose to give up and lay quietly on the needle board, allowing him to step on it, using the force to finally escape from the cage.
Zhu Fu Jingguang couldn't help but recall, thinking back to when he was so unbelievable and sad, was there still a trace of joy and luck?
Was he still thinking at that time that Zheng Angus would attack his senior, and if he was rescued, there was a chance that both of them would survive?
At that time, everyone treated him kindly, even Torii looked upon him with favor. But would Morobushi Kagemitsu really do everything for Tetsuya Kamiya?
It was precisely because he was better to him that Morofushi Kagemitsu felt more painful after learning about what happened to Tetsuya Kamiya.
When honey is built on the blood of another person, no kind-hearted person can continue to swallow it, let alone Morobushi Kagemitsu who regards Tetsuya Kamiya as his responsibility.
The honey instantly turned into arsenic, causing pain in his internal organs.
When he saw Tetsuya Kamiya falling into the sea, Morofushi Keimitsu really wanted to rush in for a moment.
But even when he wanted to rush in, he had already clearly realized one fact - Kamiya Tetsuya was already dead.
He just wanted to atone for his sins.
But even atonement is done by God.
Fūya Rei held him tightly, gritting his teeth and saying, "Kamiya Tetsuya wants to see this," "Zhufu Takaaki wants to see this," and "All of them want to see this."
But does he want to?
What does Morofushi Kagemitsu want to see?
Sometimes, kindness and responsibility will turn into a rope that ties him up tightly, making him unable to move. Even if he knows this is not what he wants, he is willing to stay for others.
Looking at the painful appearance of his childhood, Morofushi Jingguang chose to give up.
Therefore, his sin was even more serious.
The letters found in Kamiya Tetsuya's apartment have been sorted and distributed to the people mentioned in them. Finally, they were taken back by Furuya Rei and buried as relics.
In addition to all hidden scenery.
He refused 깊's reasonable request and took all the letters concerning him back to 깊's room.
Read one, recite one, memorize one, and burn one.
This was also the first time that Morofushi Jingguang faced such enthusiastic praise.
[Scottish people are good cooks, they cook delicious meals, and they can play the bass.
He is a good man, we must save him if we can, it would be too sad if he died.
Stupid Tetsuya, if you want to care about me, you have to be so perfunctory. Gin almost smacked his lips!
Woohoo, such a wonderful Scotland...】
Unfortunately, the good thing is Scotland, but he is the one who is in trouble.
When Morobushi Kagemitsu tore the envelope into pieces expressionlessly, he felt sorry for the lost personality of Kamiya Tetsuya.
After all, if Tetsuya Kamiya hadn't been there, with his personality, it would only be a matter of time before he died in the organization.
What a pity.
"Jingguang." Zhu Fu Gaoming walked in from the door and called softly, "It's time to get ready to set off."
"Of course, you must eat something before you go."
Zhu Fu Jingguang shuddered and turned around: "What about the time?"
"There's still half an hour until midnight. We just need to get there before nine o'clock."
Zhu Fu Gaoming was also dressed in black, neatly dressed. He looked at his younger brother with soft and regretful eyes: "Jing Guang, you have to learn to walk."
Zhu Fu Jingguang had already changed his clothes, but with his violent movements just now, wrinkles appeared on his suit again, making it look a little unkempt.
He had not shaved the stubble on his face, and his brown hair was mixed with some white hair. For a moment, he looked more like his brother than Zhu Fu Gaoming.
Hearing this, he just twitched the corners of his mouth, twisting it into an arc that resembled a smile: "I understand."
"Come and eat something. The funeral has been going on for quite some time and I think you might want to pass out on the scene."
Zhu Fu Gao Ming sighed and closed the door again, giving Zhu Fu Jing Guang some time to sort himself out.
He could literally faint on the spot.
Morofu Jingguang rubbed his brows. He always felt that this funeral was somewhat real. Even now, he still couldn't connect Kamiya Tetsuya with the funeral.
He knew that a funeral should be held and condolences should be expressed when someone dies, but he did nothing about it.
Morofushi Jingguang was not actually sad. The emotion of sadness seemed to have become two black words on the paper, and he recognized it just by looking at it.
There was only a howling sound like the wind blowing through the cracks in the stones, hollow and long, and a pain that never ended.
It's like being burned. Even though it's not obvious on the surface, it can't be ignored.
If you want to make the pain go away, you can only fill the hole and let the flesh grow back.
------
After that day, everyone treated Morobushi Jingguang with caution.
Zhu Fu Gaoming even took a half-year vacation and rushed back to Japan from Nagano Prefecture to take care of his daily life, fearing that his younger brother would support him to death one day.
Although Morobushi Kagemitsu had learned to be independent at an early age, he is now a cause of worry again in his thirties.
The surveillance cameras in the sleeping room were all on, and Matsuda Jinpei and others often came to visit him, speaking in roundabout ways and with a cautious expression, afraid of irritating him.
Morofushi Jingguang wanted to smile and say that he was fine, but he failed to even smile.
The public security department gave him a lot of compensation, including promotions, salary increases, and honorary certificates delivered to his doorstep.
If there is no existence of Tetsuya Kamiya, then the current Kagemitsu Morobushi has already achieved all the goals he wanted to achieve.
But there are no ifs.
This thorn will always be in his heart, integrated with him, popping up in the middle of the night, sometimes teasing him mischievously, like Tetsuya Kamiya who asked him to buy a fully automatic sweeping robot at 12:00 in the morning.
Zhu Fu Jingguang would seek death, but he dared not to.
This life of his was bought back by Tetsuya Kamiya, it belongs to him, and he has no right to die.
Zhu Fu Jingguang looked at the mirror. The man in the mirror had a few more white hairs than yesterday, and his blue-gray eyes were as calm as ever.
As calm as Tetsuya Kamiya.
Tokyo time 궝 four 굛.
After Zhufu Jingguang took care of himself, he walked into the room with steady steps and greeted Zhufu Gaoming: "You should also buy a bouquet of flowers, if it's a funeral."
Zhu Fu Gaoming drank a mouthful of soup, put down the bowl, and looked at him in surprise: "Are you saying that he likes flowers and wants to bring dessert?"
Because Zhu Fu Jingguang has been in a very good mood recently, no one dared to let him prepare snacks alone in the kitchen, for fear that he might accidentally burn himself or the kitchen.
The former could bear the sight of being stared at while making snacks, so he gave up and never mentioned it again.
Zhufu Gaoming originally wanted to ask his colleagues to bring some cakes over later, but now Zhufu Jingguang changed his mind.
The brown-haired young man sat opposite him and picked up the Japanese breakfast on the table. The porridge contained bonito, scallops, anchovies, etc. It tasted very delicious.
Zhu Fu Jingguang scooped up a spoonful and put it in his mouth, saying vaguely: "Nothing, the flowers are also good, such as sunflowers and dandelions, which are quite suitable."
He frowned after every bite and went to the kitchen to pick up the sugar bowl. He poured a lot of white sugar into the porridge without mercy, and stopped only when the amount reached a nearly lethal level.
Zhu Fu Gao Ming stared at his brother. His words and actions made him feel obviously - weird.
It is possible that Morobushi Jingguang's mental state was affected. Morobushi Gaoming was ready for a long-term battle, and psychiatrists and medications were already on the agenda.
But really watching this scene, Zhu Fu Gao Ming still felt a deep sense of suffocation.
His younger brother was once again sent back to prison.
When he was young, Morofuku Kagemitsu watched his parents die in front of him; when he grew up, Morofuku Kagemitsu watched his predecessors die in front of him.
The former was able to resolve his grievances after his revenge; but what about the latter?
The organization has been destroyed, and the only instigator is still arrogantly hugging the body of Tetsuya Kamiya, and even death has never let go.
How can he help Zhu Fu Jingguang resolve his emotional issues?
Although he thought so in his heart, Zhu Fu Gao Ming still did not show it on the surface. He just sent a text message on his mobile phone, asking everyone to help look up the meaning of "Daisy grass" and "dandelion".
The elder brother quickly replied: "The sunflower represents the longing for the deceased and the farewell; the dandelion symbolizes the new life and vigorous vitality. Gao Ming, is your brother okay?"
"Nothing." Zhu Fu Gaoming replied and put his phone aside.
The meaning of this flower is not wrong. It seems that Morobushi Kagemitsu has indeed accepted the reality.
Morofushi Jingguang ate his meal very obediently and did not particularly resist. He ate half of it slowly and put down the spoon.
He looked at the time. It was already 12 o'clock.
"Let's go buy some flowers," he said. "Actually, I want to dye my hair white."
Zhu Fu Gaoming was a little surprised: "Why?"
Zhu Fu Jingguang said lightly: "I already have a few white hairs, which makes me uncomfortable. I might as well dye them white directly."
"You can dye it back to brown."
"But what if the newborn is white?"
Zhu Fu Gao Ming was stumped by the question.
He watched his brother push the door open, and for a moment he felt a strange feeling.
--------------
At 12:00 pm, Ryoeiyama Cemetery in Beika Town.
It started to drizzle.
Zhufu Gaoming drove the car, carrying Zhufu Jingguang to his destination, and parked the car far away from the cemetery.
Morofushi Jingguang didn't dye his hair because the time was too short and... it was raining.
He just stood in the rain, holding a large bunch of sunflowers with dandelions in the middle, waiting for Zhu Fu Gaoming to park the car.
The sunflower, also known as the sun chrysanthemum, has large, brightly colored flowers and is very suitable for use in funerals, not to mention that the ones Zhu Fujingguang bought were mixed colors. From a distance, white, yellow, and red were mixed together. Even with dandelions inserted in the middle, it looked very beautiful.
But Zhu Fu Gaoming didn't say much. To him, these etiquettes were far less important than his younger brother.
Not to mention that Morobushi Jingguang looked really calm and he knew exactly what he was doing.
"Let's go."
Putting the key in his pocket, Zhu Fu Gao Ming looked at the black umbrella placed there, his hand paused, then retracted it. He sighed, holding a white chrysanthemum in his hand.
The two walked side by side on the slightly muddy road in silence.
Not many people came to attend Kamiya Tetsuya's funeral. He knew too few people in this world. Half of them had become scum or were in prison, and the other half... were just two hands.
Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara both still had injuries on their bodies. The marks on their faces were all covered up by the makeup artist's superb skills, but because of the heavy and light rain, their faces became particularly messy, with patches of white and black.
The two stood at the entrance of the cemetery, wiping their faces with tissues from time to time. If you knew what was happening, you would have thought they were crying.
The only one who came to the Maori family was Maori Ran and Kudo Shinichi. The latter took a temporary antidote and turned back to his original appearance, wearing a suit, looking calm and handsome.
He had one hand on Mao Lilan's shoulder, comforting his childhood sweetheart in a low voice, while the latter was holding a white cup and silently shedding tears.
Maori Lange's distinctive hair drooped in the rain, and tears mixed with rain slid down her cheeks. She looked like a deer lost in the rain, and even her tears were filled with silent pity.
She didn't have much contact with Tetsuya Kamiya, and even said that they hadn't met after 10 years.
But Mao Lilan still remembers the warm embrace of the young man who saved her on a rainy day, and she also remembers the scene when Tetsuya Kamiya comforted her and whispered to her in the video game arcade.
