Holding the gun in his hand, Fūya Rei pushed the door open and did a swift roll, then met a pair of blue-gray cat eyes.
"Hiro!" He put down the gun helplessly, "You are here too?"
Furiya Rei had no doubts. After all, if it wasn't for something, Morobushi Kagemitsu would never come to see him - at least in their previous life, they had always communicated through text messages.
Zhu Fu Jingguang sighed and sat on the chair: "Yes, when you didn't send me a message today, I knew that you had changed."
Fūya Ling was startled. He did not doubt Liqueur's identity this time, so he naturally would not ask Morobushi Jingguang for information.
"Have you seen the current senior?" asked Morobushi Kagemitsu. "How is he? Has he come back?"
Furutani Rei pulled a chair over and sat down. He shook his head and said, "No, liqueur is still liqueur. I even think he is even more indifferent and decadent than I remember."
"It's really troublesome." Zhu Fujingguang rubbed his eyebrows and murmured, "If the two of us come here, who will cook for the seniors over there?"
Fūya Rei twitched his lips, a little helpless: "It's impossible for Kamiya to not eat for a few meals. He's already such a grown-up..."
"How do you know how many tons it is?" Zhu Fu Jingguang asked back, with deep worry in his eyes, "Why are we here? How are we going to get back in the future? Can we still go back?"
Furuya Rei was stumped by the question.
Morobushi Jingguang sighed: "The person we can most easily contact now is the senior of 놙놋 Liqueur. I don't know if we can find any clues from him."
"Have you contacted the police?"
"Well, there is no sign of rebirth. Currently, there are only two of us."
Morofushi Kagemitsu said: "I have no contact with Matsuda and Hagiwara. Bacardi is still a police inspector..."
"We'll just have to take it one step at a time." Furuya Reiichi made up his mind, "Whether we can go back or not, we can't watch our senior torture himself in the organization this time."
Previous life - let's call it that for now. If they had gotten in touch with Liqueur earlier, he wouldn't have been intercepted by Angus, not to mention the brainwashing and other things that happened afterwards.
However, correspondingly, Liqueur's affection for Red Fang is not as deep as in the previous life, so it is more difficult to get help or give him motivation to live.
Morobushi Jingguang simply nodded: "Before you came, I had borrowed the kitchen to make blueberry cake - let's go to the senior's apartment tonight."
"What are you looking for?"
"I just wanted to ask him some advice. After all, I'm already his subordinate." Morobushi Jingguang replied, "As for you, Zero, you can come up with an excuse, right?"
Rei Furuya can actually come up with this idea.
-------------
So at eight o'clock in the evening, the two of them arrived at the door of Tetsuya Kamiya's apartment, one in front and one behind.
In pursuit of authenticity, the two people, who were more than ten minutes apart, even acted out a series of cautious explorations of each other when they first met.
But Liqueur let the doorbell ring but didn't come to open the door.
"Could it be that no one is inside?" Fūya Ling frowned, "But the lights are still on."
"Then let's kick the door and see." Morobushi Kagemitsu said simply, "I'm worried about your safety, aren't you right too, Amuro-kun?"
"That's indeed the case, Midorikawa-kun." Furuya Rei replied speechlessly.
Yes, although it was said that it was Morobushi Kagemitsu who fed Kamiya Tetsuya over the years, it could also be said that it was Kamiya Tetsuya who pampered Morobushi Kagemitsu.
Look at Hiro now, he still calls you senior on the surface, but actually he has become very skilled at pushing us to eat every day.
Furiya Rei complained in the video to relieve the tension caused by the upcoming meeting with liqueur.
The few times they have spent time with senior members of the organization, nothing good has happened.
"Bang!"
As the two of them collided with each other, the security door, which had never been touched, was directly opened, revealing a clean but messy living room.
This was the second time that Rei Furuya took the initiative to enter Liqueur's apartment in the master state. The last time was when Gin in his previous life asked him to arrest someone. He sent a cake and caused Liqueur to vomit.
This time when the two of them came in, they still saw the medical box scattered casually on the coffee table.
"Senior, he..." Morobushi Jingguang stopped talking halfway because he was worried about the surveillance in the room. He walked over and flipped the medical box.
Because Kamiya Tetsuya's physical recovery was completely handled by Morobushi Kagemitsu, his familiarity with medicines had already reached the maximum level.
At this moment, he could tell the medicine inside at a glance.
Anti-depressant, mental stabilizer, treatment of split personality, and a blood-stained bandage that was randomly untied.
Judging from the number of pills that were messily opened, this guy probably took a few bites when he remembered to, and threw them away when he didn't.
Psychotropic drugs cannot be discontinued at will, otherwise it will not only cause serious side effects, but may even aggravate the condition.
Furukaya Rei stood aside and watched, remembering that when he came here once before, Kamiya Tetsuya casually said it was mint candy.
He clenched his fists tightly, the weakness and pain he hadn't felt for a long time entangled his organs, and even his breathing stopped for a second.
Damn sugar!
“Senior!” Zhu Fujingguang took a look and put the medicine back. At this moment, he was as cold as a piece of ice, hiding all his emotions under his gentle appearance.
He walked around and called out twice: "Are you home? I'm in Luchuanjian, and I want to discuss something with you."
"There's no one in the bedroom." Fūya Ling frowned, "Could it be the bathroom?"
Although Tetsuya Kamiya usually looks bored and lazy, he will still stand up if someone breaks into his room, so that they won't walk around here without coming out.
Unless someone is not here, or -
"Bang!"
The bathroom door was opened roughly, and a strong smell of blood wafted out from inside, stimulating the person at the door to sneeze involuntarily.
The small white bathroom looked like a cold tomb under the bleak light, leaving a feeling of crampedness and suffocation. The horizontal bathtub had no curtain drawn, and looked like a coffin with the lid opened.
Furuya looked in the opposite direction with zero reflex, and a face with a frightened expression was reflected in the water.
The shower head in the bathtub was still dripping with cold water, flushing the red liquid out of the bathtub and flowing into the sewer. The whole audience could hear the gurgling sound of water, and other movements seemed to be frozen in the picture, presenting a moment of blankness.
The white-haired young man was like a blood-red flower blooming in the water, his soft hair pressed against his cheeks, the lower end rising and falling with the water flow. He lay there quietly on his side, one hand stretched out of the pool, loosely holding the dagger, and the other hand was immersed in the water, floating up with the buoyancy, revealing a new and ugly wound on his wrist.
It was like having a beautiful dream that he didn't want to wake up from. Even the crisp sound of the door opening made the other party frown in dissatisfaction and mutter vaguely.
"Senior..."
Zhu Fu Jingguang felt his body tighten for a moment, and his brain, which was blank due to excessive shock, directly closed the oxygen supply channel.
He subconsciously took two steps back and bumped into his child. The crackling sound of the water under his feet was like his chaotic thoughts at the moment.
How could this happen? Could it be that in his previous life, Kamiya Tetsu was in this situation and called him the next day to say he was going for a physical examination?
How did he fight his way out of this situation alone? Or is this the difference now?
The panic turned into undisguised fear. Without much hesitation, the two of them walked straight through the blood and tremblingly turned off the working faucet.
Furiya Rei drained the water accumulated in the bathtub and easily snatched the dagger from Liqueur's hand with one hand.
Just by brushing his fingertips, Furuya Rei couldn't help but tremble for a moment.
It was so cold, as if all the warmth had been taken away by the current, leaving only the soul with nowhere to go still inside the body.
Neither of them made a sound at this moment. They had already passed the stage of shouting and screaming when they were indecisive, and had come up with a more targeted strategy to attack Kamiya Tetsuya.
Morofushi Kagemitsu gently placed his hands behind the young man's head and, with the help of Furugaya Rei, picked him up.
Although he was escaping from the cold water and falling into a warmer embrace, the person in his arms was struggling involuntarily. The abnormally thin and pale palm was consciously pressing against his chest, pushing away, but it fell down powerlessly, and instead brought out an even more crimson color of blood.
He bit his already pale lower lip tightly, and the lips did not have a single bit of color due to excessive blood loss, and the involuntary trembling of his body made him look even more ferocious.
Like a small animal picked up from the roadside on a rainy day, it is so weak that it cannot even make a sound, but it instinctively resists anyone approaching it and can tremble to express its pain and cry for help.
Much lighter than Tetsuya Kamiya.
This was Morobushi Kagemitsu's first reaction.
He clearly realized how different the liqueur in front of him, which was as withered as a dying rose, was from the plain but still lively predecessor in his memory.
Are they really one person?
The gradually blurred impressions in my mind were surging, but I still couldn't match the person in front of me with the image in my memory. It was like two similar lines that could not be connected because of different sockets.
Morofushi Jingguang's face was pale, and he walked out of the cold and clean cage very carefully. He looked at Fūya Rei behind him, and they both saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
'Is it him?'
'No...I don't know!'
But whether it is or not is not the point right now.
Because Tetsuya Kamiya had decorated his bedroom to look like a hedgehog's nest, the two of them ran straight to the living room where the medical kit was placed and slowly placed the young man on the soft sofa.
The blood-stained shoes left red marks on the board. If it were the usually tidy Morofu Jingguang, he would have frowned subconsciously, but at this moment, he didn't even bother to give them a glance.
"We can't take him to the hospital." Furuya Rei said in lip language, "We can't get past the organization. I'll go boil some water."
Fortunately, both of them were familiar with Kamiya Tetsuya's physique and knew that even though it was a fatal injury that most people could not endure, it would only be a small addition to the pain he had already suffered.
It was a sad and hateful experiment, but it is no longer possible to look back on it.
Zhu Fu Jingguang took out disinfectant alcohol from the medical box, cut off the latter's blood-soaked sleeve, looked at the bandage on his arm that was a mess, and cut it without hesitation.
The pink bandage stained with blood fell apart in an instant, revealing the hideous tattoos underneath. The crows that were deeply engraved from the wrist to the forearm also lost their bright color and were covered by the blurred wounds.
As if deliberately avoiding further scrutiny, the wounds on Liqueur's hands were not concentrated near his forearms. Instead, they were densely distributed from top to bottom, layer upon layer, like broken glass. The wounds that had already healed were torn by his nails, making them even more severe on his already fragile physique.
Except for the most recent one, the rest can be easily covered by the long sleeves without leaving any trace. Only the person involved knows how clear the pain is that cannot be ignored during his actions.
For the first time, Zhu Fu Jingguang felt that his sanity was collapsing. He tightly grasped the bottle of medical alcohol that he was shaking with, and gritted his teeth to prevent any sound.
He had seen many injuries on Kamiya Tetsuya's body, some of which were bloodier than this, but... the difference between his injuries and self-inflicted injuries was so great that the difference was enough to shatter a person's soul.
Different...
The tip of his tongue pressed against the roof of his mouth, holding the pain and anger tightly in his mouth. No matter which senior it was, given their current relationship, he didn't even have the qualifications to feel pain.
There were slight noises coming from beside him. Fūya Rei brought some hot water to the coffee table. The swaying water was filled with steam, which made his nose sore.
The blond young man kept bending over to put down the water, but his eyes were fixed on the exposed tattoo.
He still remembered how Kamiya Tetsuya untied the bandages for him in his previous life. Apart from the bruises he had pulled out, there were no other scars. But now...
If it weren't for the fact that tattoos cannot be washed off once they're engraved, and even large-scale scraping can't cover them up, the scars must have completely twisted the crow into a black monster, hiding under the pure white bandage.
Given Tetsuya Kamiya's physical condition, this injury is almost permanent and cannot be hidden at all.
The most significant difference appears at this point.
"It's not him." A soft and firm voice came from the quiet room.
An unexpected feeling of relief and despair swept over the two of them. They were relieved that the young man in front of them was not the past in their memories, and that they had not missed out on so much pain, nor were they despairing about the distortion and change of this world.
What went wrong that sent the liqueur's fate down another, more painful path?
Will Morofushi Kagemitsu and Furuya Rei in this world have any other intersections with liqueur?
What is even more puzzling is what made Liqueur take such an extreme action tonight, even though the rest of the injuries seemed to indicate a slight sign of restraint.
He hurt himself because he wanted to taste the pain and clarity, not like today, as if he wanted to give his soul to the water and use the dagger to send himself off.
And what happened today?
Morofushi Kagemitsu could cast a doubtful look at Furuya Rei.
The blond young man felt a lump in his throat. He thought carefully about his actions during the day, but he could not find any clues.
Was it because his overly presumptuous gaze had caused Liqueur to feel an unbearable invasion? Or was it because Gin's actions had brought about a more serious impact than in his previous life?
'I don't know,' he said, 'Liqueur was even more indifferent than before, and he didn't even ask any more questions.'
Morofushi Kagemitsu's understanding was even more vague than his, and their last meeting was supposed to be tomorrow.
So, in this case, will Liqueur still have to go for a physical examination tomorrow? Can he pass the organization's test?
Morofushi Jingguang thought of Miyano Shiho, who was still Shirley at the time, and found that he had no way to contact her.
It's a really tough problem to solve.
The two of them silently treated Liqueur's wounds, wiped the blood off his body, and turned on the hot air of the air conditioner in the room.
The cake that Morofu Jingguang brought had long been forgotten aside, and the icing on the top was slowly melting, showing that time was passing by.
I don't know how long it took, but I finally finished all the things I could handle, and even the board was mopped by Zhu Fu Jingguang.
The two of them sat on the couch, looking through their vague memories of the past with some fatigue, trying to find some reversible nodes.
"We won't stay here forever," said Rei Furuya. "For some reason, I think the key lies in liqueur."
"No matter which world the senior is from, I hope he is doing well." Morobushi Kagemitsu thought more simply, "He... is just too lonely."
The true nature will be exposed when they spend time together day and night, and Zhu Fu Jingguang, who carefully controls the power of life and death in the kitchen, naturally knows how to make progress.
An almost inaudible cough came from the side, and it was like a thunderclap in the environment where you could hear a pin drop.
The two exhausted people were like two big dogs that smelled some movement, and their eyes were instantly fixed on the sofa.
"Who are you...?" A low and hoarse voice sounded, and the young man on the sofa opened his eyes and looked towards the movement in a daze.
Morofushi Kagemitsu and Furutani Reiichi met those dark golden eyes filled with the rich twilight for a moment, and even the excitement on their faces froze for a moment.
"Senior... I'm Midorikawa Ma, and this is Amuro Toru."
Facing those vigilant and scrutinizing eyes, Morofu Jingguang introduced himself without changing his expression.
Then, before the other party even opened his mouth to ask, he asked directly: "Who are you——"
"Kamiya Akiaki?"
The pupils of those deep golden eyes shrank suddenly, and he subconsciously straightened up.
A "swish" sound was heard, as if a frightened wild cat was standing on the edge and wanted to show its claws, but accidentally slipped and fell directly to the ground, with the word "excited" written all over it from head to toe.
What the author wants to say: Do you remember that I mentioned before in the main text that Zhe can't remember his early memories from the battlefield, do you feel like they are covered in fog?
Because he forgot to help him understand the true righteous person, Zhe can also happily live a life of evil and enjoy life without any responsibility. In the main story, he is actually fine. The so-called mental breakdown is just a figment of his imagination. He is very OK and has no problem...
It is this small change that creates two different paths.
IF Liqueur is a miserable, self-loathing cat. Because he remembers everything, he feels burdened. He thinks that he will die even if he helps Red, so he kills himself early. In fact, Red doesn't think so (?)
I don't know if this is a knife or torture, maybe it's sweet and sour? The whole process of capturing and healing wild cats~
PS: The update schedule will be irregular from now on, I really can't keep up, and I feel bad asking for leave every day, anyway, I'll post the extra chapters as soon as I finish writing them, you guys can just read them occasionally! Anyway, it will be finished on the 20th, right?
But I still hope everyone will stick to me more and feed me more qwq
