[NO!!! Don’t go out!! Akai, the aura of your flag is about to overflow!]
[Wuwuwu, is it a problem to put a little cat who is afraid of the dark in a room with a power outage? And logically speaking... Xun may not be able to stand up now! ! ]
[How could the power be out in the hospital? It's a problem, isn't it? (猙獰) Could it be that the organization is planning to attack Song Jiangjiang?]
[Not really... Isn't the organization's goal to target the forces behind Songjiang? The security bureau behind him hasn't been exposed yet, so they shouldn't act so quickly, especially since Yul hasn't come out yet.]
[Help!! Why is it that when I watch Chijiang, I feel like I’m going to be stabbed in the stomach in the next second (with tears)]
[Be bold and get rid of the illusion]
[Boyfriend's shirt, pat on the head, Akai, why do you have such a strong male mother's aura? Did Subaru Akabane teach you to love him for me late at night? (Nonsense)]
[Pull the corner of Akai's clothes, be so awkward and let him pull the curtains, what kind of adorable thing is that (slurp) Xiu cat let auntie kiss him hehehehe! ]
[Matsujiang’s secret skill - Subaru Akabane’s meal replacement assimilation! ]
[Wuwuwu help! ! I’m scared but I want to watch it]
***
As soon as Akai Shuichi took a step forward, Matsue Toki, who was sitting on the bed, suddenly changed color.
"Hahahaha! Hehe! I'm so smart!"
A certain player pinched his face and tapped the keyboard, trying not to let his increasingly sinister smile show, just staring at the weird painting style.
System: "I really admire you, Old Six!"
Matsue Shigure was extremely proud: "Hehehe, Akai Shuichi, that's all!"
What if you don't want your identity to be exposed? Just trick the person out!
Matsue Shigure had never been working seriously.
He got access to the hospital's intranet and used hacking techniques, which were not scientific but could be used in science, to directly turn off the power of the light in his room.
The power outage in the hospital was unreasonable in itself, and Shuichi Akai would definitely go out to check it out. While he was on his way, Matsue Shigure just needed to finish his work quickly.
"It's just that it's so hard for the Hacker card to speak human language." Songjiang Shigure sighed, "I almost suffocated to death with just one sentence."
System: "...that's right."
It never thought that Songjiang Shigure would do such a outrageous thing.
It's also expecting someone to flip over!!
"I think Shuichi Akai will find the power problem soon. I'll give him a call and ask him to buy me some snacks."
Songjiang Shiyu was calculating on his abacus in his mind and said happily, "If we keep doing this, fifteen minutes will be enough to get the ID card back."
System: "[Hacker] is afraid of the dark. You just turned off the lights, and you asked people to buy snacks directly. Is that reasonable?"
Songjiang Shigure raised an eyebrow: "It's quick to jump the gate, and the curtains are open all the time. It's just right for me to make the call after the lights are on."
"Besides, I was scared, so it's normal to have some sweets to slow down, right?"
The system complained: "Host, you are such a dog."
Songjiang Shiyu said in shock: "How can hacking be called bullshit? This is the rational use of resources!"
It's not that easy to expose his true identity!
…
The light was blamed for the trip, and soon the room was lit up.
Matsue Shigure called Akai Shuichi at the right time and received a reluctant agreement from the other party.
"Be careful and call me if you have any problem."
"I know." (Hacker version of deep voice)
The player was in a happy mood, typing away at the keyboard quickly. The densely packed data on the computer screen looked like a mystery to an outsider, but in his eyes, it was actually no different from a mini-game.
It was when he used the skills that came with his identity card that Matsue Shigure realized that this world was truly a game with a bug.
However, compared to the Hacker's retained skills, the Instructor's fighting skills were mostly reduced by his physique, making them somewhat useless.
After all, a bomb can't be hit just by touching it.
"Takako Sakata, El Rona, Nakagawa Naka..."
Matsue Shigure looked at the list of suspicious people that popped up one by one, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "Victory Goddess, Suzuki Group's press conference?"
The Suzuki Group is equal to Suzuki Sonoko, which is equal to Mori Ran plus Edogawa Conan, which, when rounded off, is equal to the most dangerous place in the world - is the organization going there to cause trouble now?
The system made two "tsk tsk" sounds: "You don't want to be a shrunken turtle again, do you?"
"Looking at the situation, I don't think I can escape."
Songjiang Shigure couldn't help but sigh: "I wanted to play, but who knew that your game was so inhumane..."
If he had known from the beginning that these NPCs had memories of their previous lives, he would have definitely gone for plastic surgery the moment he landed. How could he still walk around the street with that face?
Now that the FBI and the police have come out, the organization will not really let him wander around outside.
Songjiang Shigure actually has no idea about this.
However, the protagonist and students were all around him, and he was worried that he would be exposed and would have trouble explaining too many things, so he kept delaying and ignoring the threats from the organization.
If the organization really wants to get rid of him, Songjiang Shigure will definitely not sit idly by and wait for death.
The system comforted him: "It's okay, just count the days, and you can run away if you just hold on a little longer."
Counting the days...how long will it take?
Songjiang Shigure emptied his mind and let the skill card take him away.
At this moment, the door was gently opened.
"Hmm?" Matsue Shigure raised his head subconsciously, a little confused, "It's only been two minutes, Akai Shuichi came back so quickly..."
But the next moment, the system's emotionless scream appeared along with the flash of a black shadow.
Suddenly, there was a crackling sound, and the computer on the hospital bed was pushed to the ground, making an extremely harsh collision sound.
All Songjiang Shiyu saw was a head so black that he couldn't even distinguish the facial features. It flashed before his eyes, and then everything in front of his eyes went dark.
The player who blocked his sense of pain had his pupils trembling and his thoughts going astray: "Tong! Didn't they say there are no ghosts in this world?!"
So what is this pitch-black thing in front of him?
The system breathed a sigh of relief and announced happily: "Congratulations, you've been kidnapped!"
Chigua Lezitong said that there is still hope!
"This is a special product of this world - Xiao Hei. Before the detectives solved the case, you wouldn't recognize him even if he stood in front of you."
"But judging from the side effects, the protagonists are definitely not far away. You can't die."
This is a good thing, which means that it doesn't matter how heavy the rain is in Songjiang.
But players don’t have time to complain about the system right now as it is full of flaws.
"Xiao Hei" was currently holding his neck with his arms, trying to pull him off the bed, while coldly threatening him not to make any sound.
——You said you won’t speak, so you won’t speak?
"Hey, get out of here!"
Since he couldn't die anyway, Matsue Shigure cursed him rudely according to his character as a hacker.
If you want to kidnap him, then kidnap him. Why not make him faint? Why do you have to blindfold him?
His cooling-off time had not yet come. Not to mention that he couldn't leave, the dark scene before his eyes made his hair stand on end.
"Everything!" Matsue Shigure struggled perfunctorily for a few times while arguing with the system, "I don't want to recall the horror movie!"
System: "It will light up if you open the forum, but you have to act a little more dramatic on the surface so that you can wait for the protagonists to come and pick you up."
Songjiang Shigure had no problem at all. He rubbed his hands together and was eager to give it a try: "Let me act. I haven't used the account [Hacker] for a long time. It's a good opportunity to practice my acting skills..."
"Anyway, we can just cut the reporter's card when the last person arrives, so it won't be a big problem."
System: "Perform well. Who knows, it might be posted on the forum? People will talk about it then..."
When this was mentioned, Songjiang Shiyu suddenly froze.
The forum is something that acts on the players' consciousness and cannot be discovered by others. It is what the readers discuss above...
Songjiang Shiyu thought he was just a weak and helpless little kitten who couldn't stand all that mess.
After weighing the pros and cons, Songjiang Shigure gritted his teeth and opened the forum. The moment he opened the screen, he saw——
#赤江/江赤, click to see the fate of past and present lives, who do you love? #
#Why does Li Tao's Songjiang Shiyu look like a widow#
#Whiskey Group XA drowning in darkness#
#Songjiang Shigure, how many good stand-ins do you have? #
#Click the link to watch the Ming Ke boy band stripping online (Banner Song Jiangjiang)#
Someone's eyes went dark, and he threw the system's consciousness directly onto the forum.
What a disgrace!
Songjiang Shiyu was so angry that he cursed even more vigorously.
*******
Inside the surveillance room.
[The man in black, whose face could not be seen clearly, took advantage of the gap when Okiya Subaru left to invade the room.
Songjiang Xunye, who was working while sitting on the hospital bed, thought that his friend had returned, but before he could fully smile, his throat was suddenly grabbed.
"Who is it—ugh!"
A black blindfold roughly covered his eyes, and his nails left a red mark on his cheek.
The young man, who was still seriously ill, was struck by lightning and his face turned pale in an instant. The strength of his fierce struggle suddenly weakened, and he was unable to break free from the murderer's forceful movements, which instead caused him to cough violently.
The blond young man was dragged off the bed roughly, and his elbow hit the low cabinet hard, leaving a cut.
He subconsciously tried to curl up, but the man in black still held his arms, dragged him to the window, and rolled him directly down from the second-floor window.
So far, there are no clues except the blood on the ground and the broken window glass.
No one knows who has set his sights on Songjiang Xunye, and which force he belongs to!
"How could this happen!" The little detective slammed his fist on the chair and looked anxiously at the pink-haired man standing next to him, "Aka... Okiya brother, do you know any other information?"
"Five minutes ago, the power went out in the ward. I went out to check and found that it was just a trip. Then Songjiang called me and asked me to buy some snacks near the hospital."
Shuichi Akai clenched the pastry bag in his hand, and his olive green eyes opened, revealing a dark light.
On his way back, he met Conan Edogawa who came to visit him. Thinking of the confidentiality of Matsue Shunya's work, he chatted with him for a few words. Unexpectedly, something happened in a short time.
Conan Edogawa quickly called the police, and Shuichi Akai chased after him, but he was still a step too slow and found no trace.
"He obviously came for Brother Songjiang, and he just kidnapped him and took him away, which means he has no intention of killing anyone for the time being. To enter the hospital ward, you need to register for 24 hours. I remember that three people were shown this morning..."
Edogawa Conan was muttering nervously when his shoulder was touched.
He raised his head and looked at Akai Shuichi with some confusion.
"Boy, you stay here and contact the police. I'm going to be out for a while. If you have any clues, please inform me immediately."
Akai Shuichi let out a breath and walked away without waiting for his reply.
"Huh?!" Conan Edogawa was stunned.
****
“Ahem…”
A hoarse and weak cough was faintly audible amid the noise. Akai Shuichi pressed the receiver and walked quickly outside while listening.
His expression was as calm as ever, but the hand holding the phone tightened a little involuntarily.
Shuichi Akai was extremely grateful that when he put on Matsue Shunya's coat, he accidentally pinned a listening device on his collar.
As long as there was some movement over there, his heart would not be hanging high in the air with nowhere to rest.
He pulled another small intercom from his pocket.
"Go check the location of this monitor and put aside other work at hand. As soon as possible!"
He hung up the FBI agent's questioning and turned up the volume in his ear to the maximum, trying to catch any clues.
…
"Matsue Shigure, Officer Matsue! I thought you were dead like your partner. I didn't expect you to be hiding for so many years. It's really hard for me to find you!"
The voice filled with hatred sounded like an unknown signal.
Songjiang Xunye's voice was much more blurred and trembling, as if he had heard something unbelievable.
"Matsue...Shigure?"
He murmured in a very low voice, and then suddenly asked: "Who are you?"
*****
The car was driving at high speed, heading towards an increasingly remote area. There were no other vehicles on the road, and even surveillance was out of reach.
Songjiang Xunye's braid was torn apart, and his golden hair was now hanging messily on his shoulders. The black mask covering his eyes was wet with cold sweat, making his face look particularly ugly.
He leaned softly against the car window, but still kept sliding down with the bumps in the car. His hands were tied behind his back and could not provide any support. His whole body was secured by a safety belt.
The wound on his arm did not stop bleeding, and blood soaked through his black cotton jacket and dripped onto the seat.
"I don't remember ever knowing a timid, cowardly little brat like you!"
The young man's pale lips opened and closed, but his words did not show any weakness.
"You can keep your mouth shut." The man driving the car sneered, "Nine years ago, it was you and your partner who worked together to send my father to prison, right?"
"If it weren't for you! How could my mother have worked too hard to make a living and eventually died of illness! How could I be forced to drop out of school and become like this now!"
"It's obvious that the bomb wouldn't kill many people if it wasn't defused. It was just used as a threat to collect debts. Why are you meddling in other people's business?"
"Why do you boast about your power in the newspapers but don't give us any chance to survive?"
The man became so excited that he even hammered the steering wheel with his hand, and the car honked sharply.
The vehicle jolted violently, and the blond young man with weak legs was forced to lean forward. The seat belt rubbed against the wound, causing him severe pain.
Song Jiangxun was also breathing hard. The thick darkness and the insecurity of moving made him nervous. Pain rushed through his blood vessels, and he felt the organs in his body squeezing his lungs with every breath.
Even his fingers were trembling, but he still laughed out loud.
"Like father...like son. You two...are both losers who have accomplished nothing!"
"Ahh! Asshole! What did you say?!"
****
[Fuck! I knew something was going to happen, I knew something was going to happen! I was even ready for Gin to come, but he was just sitting here and there!]
[The main characters cannot escape the three choices of the god of death]
[Director Ke, please retract your power of death! Songjiang has been miserable enough! ! ]
[I really want to thank you. Is this criminal really not connected to the organization? He just happened to put on an eye patch to provoke Xunye. Xunye's expression really collapsed instantly (he thumps the ground)]
[Wuwuwu, he can't stand up now! ! The murderer who knocked inside, wuwu, Akai, go and save him! ! ]
[Extremely afraid of the dark + PTSD that is triggered when touching a computer and makes him unable to walk. Now Xunye’s condition should be closer to A in the organization, right?]
[I remember saying before that A suffered mental damage during the experiment, and once he has an attack, it is difficult for him to control himself!]
[Help, Songjiang wife, I beg you to calm down. If you continue to provoke me, I am afraid that I will not be able to wait for Director Ke and the criminals will explode.]
[But how can I say it, Songjiang who is always arguing is really fucking handsome (unconscious) This A is that A, you know what I am! I am so mad at him for arguing! ]
[Although he is limited by others, his spirit never bows down. This is Songjiang Shigure!! He has not changed since the beginning]
[This criminal is crazy. His father was arrested for committing a crime and he blames the police. What the hell? It happened to be the case with Akabane nine years ago... I'm crying. Is he trying to stab my seniors?]
[Wuwuwu, but this also shows how dazzling the twin stars were nine years ago... Now one is sleeping in the ground, and the other is dying. The pig-killing knife that transcends time and space is here! ! (choked)]
[I'm really scared. This criminal is obviously trying to provoke Songjiang! He still hasn't remembered what happened to the "instructor" before. Now that he's been hit so hard, won't his memory collapse?]
[Wuwuwu, my wife, even though my wife with her eyes covered and her hair loose looks very shy, I can’t move at all (crying loudly)]
***
The sound in my ears became sharper and sharper, and I didn't know whether the enraged criminal would take extreme actions.
Shuichi Akai urged his subordinates to act, but all he got was a panicked apology from them.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Akai, the other party has been moving, and the signal source tracking is intermittent. Please give me some more time!"
Shuichi Akai has never been the kind of person who would reprimand his subordinates. He even said that most of the time, he doesn't need help from his subordinates to fulfill his abilities.
But this time, he sincerely hoped for a more reliable existence.
It would be great if A was the one in charge of tracking. Akai Shuichi was sitting in the car feeling annoyed. He lowered his eyes and saw the snacks that the young man asked him to buy were still placed aside.
...After all, the FBI's technology in this area is somewhat weak.
I don't know why I thought of that person at this time, but Shuichi Akai had to admit that A was the most skilled hacker he had ever seen.
***
Songjiang Shiyu thought that this gangster was quite interesting, like a firecracker, but he insisted on being stubborn and ended up making himself so angry that he was speechless.
System: "After all, those who were talking nonsense to you before were all members of the organization. They are not on the same level as the wild criminals outside."
Matsue Shigure just felt lonely at the top: "Oh, this is better than Gin after all. Gin would just attack me if he couldn't argue with me, but he didn't dare to really hurt me. He would leave as soon as I showed weakness, and Vodka would always be the one who got hurt in the end."
In the organization, everyone else thinks that A is suppressed by Gin violently, and therefore is afraid of him.
Only Gin himself knows that it is all tacit acting.
A is irritable, but not stupid.
System: "...You are quite proud."
Matsue Shigure: “That’s not the case!”
The player coughed a few times to clear his throat, trying to prepare for the next attack.
The wound on his arm was not big, and after blocking the pain, it would have a slight blood-locking function, so it would not affect his condition.
Matsue Shigure actually enjoyed scolding quite a bit.
It was this car that was shaking so much when it was driven that he trembled while speaking.
******
The sound coming from the receiver was particularly vague. Although Matsue Xun tried hard to suppress it, Akai Shuichi could still hear his trembling that was becoming increasingly difficult to control.
——Fear, on the verge of collapse.
The pink-haired man had a sullen look on his face and drove on the road according to his previous judgment.
He couldn't just sit in the hospital and wait for information to be delivered; he had to find Songjiang Xunye as soon as possible.
No matter what, the one who lost him this time was him, Shuichi Akai.
…
While driving, Shuichi Akai was also thinking.
Songjiang Shigure——This criminal came to Songjiang Shigure... a case nine years ago, partner...
Subaru Akabane's information suddenly popped up in Shuichi Akai's mind.
The man who was similar to him in both real and pseudonym, and who kept muttering to himself when Songjiang Xunye was semi-conscious.
He was Matsue Shigure's former partner and died in an explosion in front of him.
——This is the reason why Matsue Shigure quit the Explosion Team.
But this happened nine years ago, and Songjiang Xun still has some memory loss, so it is impossible for him to remember the criminal from nine years ago.
Not to mention, the person who came to the door was the prisoner's son.
But why, why is Songjiang Xunye so excited now?
——It was the first time he heard Songjiang Xun swear at someone.
Yes, it is impossible for Matsue Shigure to be as optimistic and cheerful as she appears now.
His spirit has been broken once.
****
Aimlessly tracking will not achieve anything.
Shuichi Akai slowed down his car and calmed down to conduct a more detailed analysis, but was once again affected by the quarrel that broke out in his earphones.
Compared to the little sun who is loved by everyone on weekdays, Songjiang Xunye, who took the initiative to ridicule, seemed like a fireball in a crazy state, wishing he could crash into the bomb.
Even the extremely hoarse voice carried a sharp murderous aura.
The gangster was so angry that he almost lost his mind and started stabbing him with words.
"The pink-haired guy who accompanied you in the hospital was your partner, right? Unfortunately, he won't come to save you this time, hahaha!"
"Are you used to being alone and can't stand seeing other people have partners and friends? You look like a loser and I know no one wants to bother with you!"
Songjiang Xunye's voice was not loud, but the contempt and irritability in it could not be concealed at all: "I am enough on my own, do I still need someone else to save me?"
The gangster's output speed couldn't keep up with him, so he could only step on the pain points he knew.
"But why do I remember that your partner was with you? Yet he died and you survived!"
The criminal's distorted voice was filled with malice: "You are the one who killed him, right?"
"So many people, including your partner, are all your fault--!"
As soon as he roared, the sharp voices just now stopped abruptly.
Shuichi Akai's chest trembled violently, and he subconsciously tightened his grip on the steering wheel.
"I... killed him?"
The barely audible sound of Matsue Xunye trembled and reached Akai Shuichi's ears through the earphone.
He murmured in a trance, but no one gave a negative answer. Instead, they became more aggressive and approached step by step.
"It's not your fault." Akai Shuichi heard his own high-pitched voice shouting, "Matsue Shunya!"
——He can’t hear.
"It's not you who killed Akabane Subaru! You did nothing wrong, no one died in that case!"
"Matsue Shigure!"
The car sped along the road and gradually turned towards a remote place.
“Cough, cough, cough…”
The only response from Akai Shuichi was hoarse and intermittent coughs, weak and powerless, like a swift that was thrown into the sea during a rainstorm, still struggling to fly.
He stalled immediately.
Shuichi Akai frowned, and when he saw his subordinate in charge of tracking and positioning gave a negative answer, his knuckles on the steering wheel turned slightly white due to the great force.
It was as if he was back to two years ago, when he was standing at the door of the emergency room, and could only watch the nurses hand out critical illness notices back and forth. Apart from signing, he could do nothing to help.
The FBI agent, who has always been hailed as an all-rounder, fell into trouble again because of the same person.
It was only a few minutes ago that the young man called him with a slightly awkward tone, as if he was embarrassed to bother him to buy snacks...
Song Jiangxun also trusted him.
A feeling of powerlessness spread from the bottom of his heart, and Akai Shuichi closed his eyes.
At this time, he received a call from Conan Edogawa.
The young detective panted and said, "Okiya-san, we have probably identified three suspects, and Officer Megure is calling them now..."
"A man from Tokyo. His father has a criminal record and his mother passed away. He is most likely unemployed and has a medical condition."
Shuichi Akai interrupted his narration, speaking calmly without revealing any emotion: "Conan, I'll leave the police's case to you. The suspect may not come, so don't make a fuss."
"Eh?! How did you know!" After being surprised, Conan Edogawa suddenly felt happy, "Okiya brother, have you found the location of Songjiang brother?"
Before Akai Shuichi could reply, he heard Conan Edogawa hurriedly say, "Anyway, I'm counting on you to take care of Brother Matsue! He's very afraid of the dark! I'm afraid he'll have mental problems if we take too long, so you have to be quick!"
"What?" Akai Hide's eyes narrowed, "Say it again?"
Conan Edogawa paused, "Brother Matsue is very afraid of the dark. It's a psychological problem... It's very serious."
The young detective still felt a little guilty as he spoke, for he knew this only because he had tried to find out by trial and error.
Although Matsue Xun never blamed him afterwards, Edogawa Conan felt very guilty.
But before he could say anything else, the call was abruptly hung up.
Conan Edogawa held the phone, a little dazed.
He had never seen Mr. Akai so impatient...
****
Shuichi Akai held the phone in one hand and stared at the road ahead. Through the earphone he could only hear the light breathing of Shunya Matsue, which was intermittent and vague.
——He never knew that Song Jiangxun was also afraid of the dark.
If this condition is added, the phenomenon of young people being so violent seems to be able to be explained.
But it was hard for him not to associate this series of seemingly coincidental events with another person.
Afraid of the dark, irritable, declared dead two years ago, proficient in hacking technology...
Two years ago, in the sea where the Public Security Bureau and the organization were fighting... On that beach, Akai Shuichi picked up Matsue Shunya.
Shuichi Akai let out a breath slowly and dismissed this unrealistic idea - Matsue Shigure is a policeman.
Moreover, everyone in the organization is aware of A's incompetence.
"Mr. Akai! Mr. Akai! We have locked onto the source of the signal!"
The sound of a subordinate crying with joy came from another internal contact phone. At the same time, like a thunder in summer without any warning -
"Your father is in prison, ahem, do you think you can escape? You will be the next one! Loser! Trash!"
Songjiang Xun is like a moth that has been defeated repeatedly and launched suicide attacks.
His sudden and high-pitched voice almost covered up the indication that the signal source had been successfully received.
"Shut up!" The gangster was obviously very angry with him, "I told you to shut up! Songjiang Shigure! You are a piece of trash! You dead cripple! You deserve not to be able to stand up!"
"Hahaha... I'm a cripple, but you're a piece of trash who's even worse than a cripple!"
Shuichi Akai slammed on the brakes!
