Matsue Shigure watched intently as the young Subaru Akabane bandaged its wound neatly and swiftly, like a hunter waiting for its prey to fall into a trap. When he heard the footsteps becoming clearer, he pulled out a grenade from his waist.
He reflexively helped to cover the manholes.
"Bong!"
The ground shook and my palms felt the heat coming up from below.
“Good job.”
Songjiang Shigure was pulled up in a daze, and the boy's warm palm was placed on his wrist, barely dispelling the coldness.
Subaru Akabane was like a teacher who specialized in giving red flowers to elementary school students, as if even standing up and taking two steps was something worthy of praise.
Was his partner like this when he was a kid? It's weird, but it doesn't seem to be a problem? Matsue Shigure was amused by his own thoughts.
If the system were here, it would definitely complain, aren't these the default options you chose when playing the game?
When indecisive, just brag and that's it. There's no way to brag in a fancy way, and you treat the target of your strategy like a cub.
"Who are those people? Where are we going now?"
Matsue Shigure walked quickly forward, but when he looked up, he saw only a desolate scene of overgrown grass. It seemed to be a sparsely populated mountain forest, and it was not on any map he had been to before.
Subaru Akabane stopped walking when he heard his question, and turned to look at him, his amethyst-like eyes shining brightly.
Matsue Shigure: “?”
Akabane Subaru said expressionlessly: "Do you still remember who I am?"
Matsue Shigure asked tentatively: "Akaha?"
The black-haired boy's expression suddenly brightened up, and he smiled slightly: "Those guys are all unrelated people. Let's go treat the wound first, eat and have a good rest after dinner."
Matsue Shigure looked at him steadily, raised his hand and poked the dimple on Akabane Subaru's face.
Come to think of it, Kenji doesn't seem to have dimples when he smiles. Could it be that Subaru Akabane had a stern face afterwards because he felt that showing his dimples when he smiled would undermine his dignity?
With his mind racing, Songjiang Shigure remained calm and said, "Don't treat me like a fool. If you have something to say, just tell me."
Akabane Subaru did not move, and calmly let him poke him. He opened his mouth and said, "What do you remember now?"
The action of poking the dimple stopped.
Songjiang Shigure opened his mouth slightly, and crows chirped in his heart.
Did this crappy game really make him "lose his memory" and pretend to be dead? Why can everyone ask him so naturally?
"I will remember you." He said faintly, "good brother."
In this damn game, it’s all thanks to the two of us, the two misfits, that we shoulder 80% of the fake roles!!!
How miserable!
*************
Under the pale moonlight, the shadows of the trees were patchy. The two teenagers stumbled as they walked. Their bare feet were occasionally scratched by the stones, but neither of them showed any expression of pain.
Subaru Akabane has dishevelled hair, and his delicate features make him look particularly androgynous, but his cool, sharp eyes suppress this illusion, giving him a cold and hard look.
The blond boy was covered in dust, with the scratches on his hands particularly noticeable. His expression became increasingly tangled as Akabane Subaru spoke, and his braided blond hair swung back and forth behind his head.
"They are from that organization. A big shot will come to inspect soon. If you don't run now, your chances will be even slimmer in the future." Akabane Subaru said calmly, "I'm fine, but you must stay away from them."
Songjiang Shiyu coughed twice and couldn't help frowning: "Is there anything different about me?"
Subaru Akabane said succinctly: "You are the closest experimental subject to success. If they find you, they will probably take you away. I secretly hacked into the computer in the laboratory and deleted your data."
Songjiang Shigure: “Huh!”
Akabane Subaru still felt a little regretful: "It's a pity that there is not enough time, and there is no way to kill everyone..."
The flashing lights in the distance could already be seen. Matsue Shigure leaned against the tree trunk, gasping for breath, his face turning a little pale.
"You don't have to do so much." He said, "I'm the one who got you into trouble."
"No." Akabane Subaru said bluntly, "I just want to be with you."
Matsue Shigure: "Boys need to be stronger."
The coldness on Akabane Subaru's body was covered by tenderness, and he smiled softly: "Okay."
He simply opened his arms: "Can you still walk? If not, I'll carry you on my back."
Doesn’t the wound on your arm hurt?
Songjiang Shigure rolled his eyes at him, then charged forward and carried the man up: "Patients, stop being so stubborn."
"You just asked me to be stronger."
"Looking for trouble?"
"I don't dare."
[Woooooooooooo! The little boy is so cute! Come and give your aunt a kiss, mua! mua! I’m erect again!]
[Other people’s childhood was about running away with guns and grenades; my childhood was about playing in the mud… Mud is really nice when you think about it (wiping tears)]
[It is indeed a world where everyone is influenced by childhood. Master Qin, am I right? (dog head)]
[No wonder Akabane defected after just a few months. At first I thought that people in the organization wouldn’t be so love-minded. Maybe it was just a continuation of old feelings…]
[Matsue Jiang with a braided braid, Akabane with loose hair like a doll (mumble) It’s not right if she’s not wearing women’s clothes!!!]
[The heart that was stabbed by the movie version and hurt by Gin has finally returned!! This straight-talking bickering with pure love is so sweet that I can’t help it (twisting wildly on the bed)]
[Song Jiangjiang, what kind of wood is this? Hahaha!
Akabane confessed directly: I just want to be with you.
Song Jiangjiang: Boys need to be strong.
I'm almost laughing like crazy hahaha! ]
[Facts have proven that nature overcomes everything]
[So now Songjiang's background is almost complete. He was originally a successful experimental subject of the organization. Because Akabane was worried that he would be taken away by the organization, he deleted the data and took him away.]
[Is Akabane Subaru still the boss's successor? What a great elopement! (Tactical retreat)]
[See Akabane asks Matsue how much he still remembers. Does emotional amnesia have to start from childhood? ? ? Matsue's dissociative amnesia was not triggered in the A stage, but was he left with a deep shadow in the organization since childhood?]
[Zhao, no wonder he never mentioned the past, because even his childhood was dark and bloody...]
[Wuwu, I don't remember anything except you. I'll eat you till I die!]
[Hey, don’t forget that this is a flashback kill. Think about it, Akabane is still in the organization in the main storyline, which means he didn’t escape at all!]
[? ? Can't you just eat candy peacefully? This is too realistic! And speaking of the problem, Matsue actually forgot about Akabane, right?]
[Happy, remembering that in the police academy, Matsue said "I will never forget you no matter who I forget", but Akabane forgot it more than once, and after he died, he forgot it several times again]
[Song Hai Hai (internal tone)]
[The current Akabane dares to say openly that she is with him, but the future Akabane dares to hide even her blessings in a USB drive]
[So, did Matsue also learn hacking skills from Akabane? How much of each other's influence has been stained on them...]
**************
Matsue Shigure was forced to hide with Akabane Subaru for several days. Although the wounds on his body were properly treated, they were still cracked several times during the rush.
The black doctor that Subaru Akabane initially took him to see was indeed a black-hearted person who did things for money. After they got out, he reported the information to the organization.
The pack of mad dogs came to bite again.
After the incident, Songjiang Shiyu was so angry that he went back and shot that bastard Hei Yi before continuing to run away.
It was a tough run.
When the real killer came out, the two children who had been tortured by the experiment were like cattails swaying in the wind, without any ability to fight back.
All you can do is run! Run as hard as you can!
"Drink some water first, and don't notice anyone chasing you."
Subaru Akabane handed over a glass of water, and Matsue Shigure took it and drank it all in one gulp. He was gasping for breath, his violent breathing pulling at his trachea, and his mouth seemed to taste like rust.
"I'm really dying of exhaustion..."
Songjiang Shiyu couldn't help but complain. He had never been so brutal in playing this game before. Even when facing the organization, he mostly stood on the stake and lay down.
In the past, they would just rely on their own immortality to show off, or cling to their students.
But this time was different. Even though he knew that this was the past, Songjiang Shigure couldn't just sit there and remain indifferent.
It's so real. Even the system can't be found, and only a young partner who has already died is trying to survive.
If he did, Subaru Akabane would stand right in front of him. What if he had to reload all the files again?
Although he knew this was unlikely, there were so many twists and turns in this game that he didn't know how to play it.
The boy sat on the floor, leaning against the soft sofa. A sad drama was playing on the TV in front of him. A sponge sticker was stuck on the soft ceiling light.
The three members of the family who had been knocked unconscious were placed in the bedroom and considerately covered with quilts.
Matsue Shigure couldn't help but touch the plush sofa and called the system for the hundredth time in his mind.
No response.
He couldn't help puffing out his cheeks.
"Thank you for your hard work." The black-haired boy, who had not yet grown taller, touched Matsue Shigure's head and casually untied his messy braid and re-braided it. "Give me some time, I'll delete the surveillance."
Matsue Shigure was stunned for a moment and murmured, "We look like wanted criminals."
Subaru Akabane went to borrow the computer from this store, and as he walked, he said, "This is actually quite fun, isn't it?"
【But it’s actually quite fun. 】
The thoughts in his mind overlapped with the voice of Akabane Subaru, and Matsue Shigure shuddered with fear.
He turned his head sharply and could only see the back of Akabane Subaru sitting in front of the computer.
Matsue Shigure raised his hand and touched his head, as if he could still feel the touch from a few seconds ago.
Normally he would touch other people's heads, just in such a natural way.
If it wasn't her who was being touched, from the actions and tone of his voice just now, Matsue Shigure could even imagine what he looked like when he did that.
The player fell into deep thought.
He stood up and walked to Subaru Akabane, watching his slender fingers moving rapidly on the keyboard, and a series of code instructions appeared on the screen.
Matsue Shigure can't understand it now, but if he switches the character card, this is also the area he is most familiar with.
"I'm deleting the surveillance footage of this building. When I go downstairs, I can unlock the password lock."
Subaru Akabane explained to him, and seeing that Matsue Shigure was staring at the screen, he asked, "Are you interested?"
Matsue Shigure: “What if it is?”
Subaru Akabane said without hesitation: "Then I will teach you when I have the chance in the future."
Matsue Shigure: “Oh.”
It was too coincidental. The player had a blank expression on his face. Was it just a random character setting on his ID card at the time, or was it destined?
He watched Akabane Subaru turn off his computer, grabbed his sleeve, and said sternly: "I have something to tell you, you must answer truthfully."
Akabane Subaru's deep purple eyes looked crystal clear in the warm light, genuine and straightforward. He said, "I never lied to you."
…
Ten minutes later, Songjiang Shigure sat on the sofa with a pale face. He buried his face in his hands, his mind full of "f*ck" and "absurd".
Akabane Subaru sat beside him with a worried look on his face, his hand on his shoulder: "Are you okay?"
Songjiang Shiyu said in a low voice: "Let me be quiet."
Help! ! The game is killing people!
He had just asked Subaru Akabane about his hobbies and choices in certain matters, asking for his first impression and intuition, and the latter's answer without hesitation made him feel cold.
He was happy when his hobbies were different, but why did the choices he made later almost 100% match his?
Did the game use his thoughts to make an NPC? Is this scientific?
No, there is no science in this game...
Matsue Shigure knows very well that he is not a normal person. His thinking is criticized by the system every day as being ridiculous, and even Akai Shuichi and Gin have been broken by it.
It was only when he teamed up with Akabane Subaru before that he felt that they were strangely compatible, but after all, he was not an NPC to be conquered, so he did not think about it further.
Until now, the system is gone, and it feels like being in a real environment.
A "partner" who has the same thinking as him, takes him to avoid the organization's pursuit like a miracle, and secretly helps the entire world to complete the settings.
Who is Akabane Subaru? What is his relationship with him? Is this all a coincidence?
Songjiang Shiyu's brain was about to crash.
"Can you explain the questions you just asked me?" Subaru Akabane's clear and light voice came.
"Your thoughts are very similar to mine." Songjiang Shiyu never liked beating around the bush. He sighed, "Why?"
"No reason." Subaru Akabane's deep purple eyes were tinged with a hint of gloom. He used his uninjured hand to lift Matsue Shigure's chin and let him face him.
Brushing his fingers across the boy's soft lips, Akabane Subaru said softly, "Don't think so much."
"Just know one thing."
"You are unique and I will protect you."
[Just like——you will protect me. ]
This is the thinking of "Songjiang Shigure", without beating around the bush or delving too deeply into things. He will give the same sincere love to the true feelings he feels, even if he appears to be indifferent on the surface, the choice he makes is not satisfactory.
【I am willing to sacrifice, and so are you.】
[Subaru Akabane is always chasing Matsue Shigure. 】
Xianyu casually pulled Akabane Subaru's hand away and slumped on the sofa. He looked at his much softer fingers and sighed, "Forget it, forget it."
When will this end...
Isn’t it enough to know the past?
"Hurry up and take a rest. I guess we'll have to run away again soon." He kicked Akabane Subaru's calf with his foot. "The owner of this house has to go to work tomorrow. If he doesn't go, he will lose his full attendance record."
"good."
The two of them had no intention of occupying the host's bedroom. They just curled up on the sofa and took a short rest.
Matsue Shigure couldn't sleep. He opened his eyes and looked at the black-haired boy curled up in a ball with a pale face. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Looks like a cat...
Subaru Akabane saved him once before at the explosion scene. He couldn't let a ten-year-old kid protect him now, could he?
But what can he do now?
How can we get those crazy dogs in the organization to give up tracking us?
Songjiang Shigure calculated what he could use now: the immortal and painless plug-in, proficiency in combat and marksmanship, knowledge of the organization's information but not the current personnel distribution, and knowledge of the public security internal phone number but not how reliable it was.
And then there are the students he knows...
Help! They are still elementary school students!
I'm totally unhelpful.
Songjiang Shiyu thought deeply, why not just call the police?
In fact, he really wanted to try some exciting operations to see what changes would happen to the "past" and whether it could affect the "future".
"Will what I do now have the result of setting things right in the future?"
He quietly got up, turned on the computer in the study, and finally entered the email address of the mysterious boss in the Security Bureau into the encrypted public security intranet email.
To get that position, one has to work for at least ten or twenty years with Japanese qualifications, which means it is very likely that one has already started working there.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to input other people’s information, it’s just that he can’t remember anything else except this one.
Matsue Shigure only sent a message “help!”. The fact that he could send it to this email address was enough to alert the public security.
If the other party is willing to investigate, it is unlikely that they will find him and Subaru Akabane, but there is a chance to intercept the organization's killer.
Perfect!
The player happily turned off the computer, tiptoed back to the sofa, and closed his eyes.
After a while, the black-haired boy sleeping on the other side opened his eyes. He opened the door of the study, pondered for a moment at the message sent by Matsue Shigure, and deleted all traces.
Once the email was sent, it could not be withdrawn, but the police were unable to locate the location from which the email was sent.
[The police must not be informed of the experiment.]
[It's also hell.]
***************
Reality, in the car.
"Brother, please tell me more details!" Zhu Fujingguang held the phone excitedly, "We really need to know his past!"
As long as we can find out the past of Matsue Shigure, then we will have a clue about both the "secret of immortality" and the "instructor's family".
They must find a way to make Matsue Shigure increase his desire to survive, rather than let him perish along with the organization like a candle that cannot be extinguished once lit.
...not worth it.
He hadn't had a good rest yet and didn't even get to see the cherry blossoms during graduation season.
Zhu Fu Gao Ming: "Let me think about how to put it. This matter is a bit complicated."
"At least I don't think that a child who looks about the same age as I was would have so many injuries on his body, and..."
Morofushi Kagemitsu: "And?"
Zhu Fu Gao Ming: "Forget it, it's nothing, let me think about it."
His expression was strange for a moment, as if he remembered something. He covered his eyes with his hands and took a deep breath.
**************
It was another starless night. A flash of fire suddenly exploded on a deserted road. The pungent smell of gasoline filled the air, making people nauseous.
Songjiang Shiyu climbed up from the ground dazed and tired, holding up his hands, and felt his ears buzzing.
The vision in front of my eyes was dim and bright, and was filled with a few mosaics. I didn't know which nerves were hurt.
Fortunately, after being destroyed by a bug, Matsue Shigure reacted calmly to the fact that he became blind at any time.
He staggered to his feet and went to help his friend who was gasping for breath on the ground.
"I'm fine." Akabane Subaru panted, "These people are probably not from the organization. They might be the gang we encountered last night."
Matsue Shigure was already numb: "Let this damn world be destroyed!"
The extent of the plot murder in this drama has far exceeded the situation in the main plot. It seems that all the malice in the world is pouring out towards them, trying to suffocate them.
You can run into robbers while eating, you can run into murderers while walking, and even if you hide in an empty house, there may be gangs of robbers hiding gold...
Not to mention the organization. The killer is elusive. Although he is not as powerful as Gin, it is still quite oppressive to have him chasing you with a gun.
Is Japan's crime rate really reasonable? It's strange that the population hasn't fled yet!
Matsue Shigure complained in his heart, but he also had a vague feeling that this storm would not end until certain conditions were met.
The best way to test it is to leave Subaru Akabane behind and see if he can just fend for himself and trigger the ending directly. Anyway, Subaru Akabane didn't die after all these years and will still appear in the police academy plot.
But Songjiang Shigure thinks it's not okay.
The players became more and more courageous as they faced more setbacks.
He gritted his teeth and thought that unless this crappy plot caused an earthquake and mudslide, he would like to see how many more cases would come!
"Matsue, let's run separately." Akabane Subaru suddenly said, "The two of us are too big a target."
Yep, it’s out.
Songjiang Shigure sneered, leaned over and pressed the other's calf, and heard a muffled groan: "How do you want to run now? Fly into the sky?"
If Akabane Subaru hadn't been injured, he wouldn't have been the first one to get up.
Akabane Subaru: “…”
Songjiang Shigure couldn't help but roll his eyes at the brat, thinking that he was the adult.
An adult should act like an adult. If he had come here in an adult body, he might have been able to fool his father.
He complained in his heart, and without hesitation, he carried the person to his back, and said expressionlessly, "Show me the way."
"We've come to Nagano Prefecture again." Subaru Akabane coughed a few times, "How about we go back to that black clinic and have a look?"
Matsue Shigure: "Which way?"
Subaru Akabane was a little surprised: "Isn't this the road we walked on before?"
Songjiang·Blind Again·Shi Yu: "I don't care, just tell me now!"
"puff--"
Matsue Shigure was sure that he heard someone's laughter. He gritted his teeth and cursed the little brat in his heart.
It's sinking!
The gauze on his body had already turned brown, and now it was oozing with bright red blood.
The two men stumbled towards the clinic. The clinic, which had been looted, had now been sealed off by the police, but the broken glass door had not yet been repaired.
The clinic was pitch black and all the equipment inside had been smashed to pieces. Songjiang Shiyu couldn't see clearly when he rushed in, and he didn't know what he tripped on, so he fell face down on a pile of broken glass.
"hiss--"
"What are you hissing about?" Someone who had no sense of pain dropped the person on his back with an expressionless face.
"It hurts for you."
Subaru Akabane was helpless. The man in front of him was very good at playing dumb.
He helped Matsue Shigure up, and with the dim light coming through the door he saw several more wounds on the man's body, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Please sit down first. I'll find a bandage to bandage you."
Songjiang Shigure responded, but in the dark room, his already half-blind vision was even worse.
The player fell into deep thought, waiting for the police to come and join in at some point, or maybe the organization would come first.
He did not see the black-haired boy gasping silently, his right leg already soaked with blood, a flying piece of iron embedded in his ankle when he jumped out of the car, and he did not even dare to pull it out.
——Fortunately, Songjiang touched the wrong place just now.
Subaru Akabane picked up a bandage and walked over to Matsue Shigure, then -
"Matsue, look up."
"ah?"
“Bang!”
There was a dull sound, and the blond boy fell down.
Subaru Akabane calmly held the man in his arms, stopped the bleeding from his wounds, and then stuffed him into a hidden place.
[You didn't even prepare for my move, even though you knew we had similar ideas. ]
I spent the whole day hunting geese, and the geese pecked my eyes.
Songjiang Shigure is usually the best at killing first and reporting later and taking risks, isn't he?
The black-haired boy chuckled, cleaned up the traces slowly and walked out.
************
When Songjiang Shigure came down in the pitch-black environment, he suddenly exclaimed "Oh shit" and his head hit the cabinet door directly. He covered his head and shrank together, then he realized what had happened.
"Akabane Subaru!!!" Matsue Shigure's pupils trembled, "You have no moral principles!"
He actually attacked his father!
Shouldn't we stand together like we did last time in the bomb case? Why did this guy run away first this time?
#Salted fish rage#
Not sure if it was because it was dark in here or if it was a vision problem, but Songjiang Shiyu listened to the sound with his ear to the side before opening the cupboard door and walking out.
The air was still filled with the smell of disinfectant and blood, and the outline of the clinic could be seen in the extremely low visibility.
——He is still in the black clinic.
Songjiang Shigure took a deep breath and calmed down.
Subaru Akabane knocked him out and ran away, most likely to attract hatred. If it was Shigure Matsue, he would do the same.
Anyway, this is not the first time this has happened.
But if it happens to someone else, Matsue Shigure would be very, very unhappy.
Now he can either sit here and wait for this plot point to end, or go out and see if he can find that bastard and give him a spanking!!
You must hit him hard!
He was so angry!
A sinister laugh as if it came from hell was heard in the clinic, and a black shadow flew out like a whirlwind.
"Did you see what I look like?" The thief who appeared out of nowhere again pointed the knife at him vigilantly.
Songjiang Shigure looked at the surroundings which were so quiet that it seemed as if all the residents had gone out to rob houses.
"Shit!" He couldn't help but give the thief the middle finger, then turned around and ran away.
Is it reasonable to retaliate so blatantly? Give his partner back!
Songjiang Shiyu can no longer hold back the rain.
***********
"…Uncle Ceye was out drinking at the time, and I heard some noise in the backyard. I thought there was a thief, so I decided to go over and take a look."
"I didn't expect that when I walked under the tree, before I could do anything, he fell from the tree."
The dim moonlight remains the same as always. In Nagano Prefecture, which is rich in greenery, almost every household plants trees and flowers in their yards.
Zhu Fu Gaoming, who was still in junior high school and living with his relatives, naturally had to shoulder some of the responsibilities. Therefore, even if he was unsure, he would take the initiative to go and check it out.
However, the thief was not found, and he was almost knocked dizzy by the boy who fell from the sky.
"Are you okay?!"
Zhu Fu Gao Ming half sat up with his hands on his hands, looking nervously at the motionless boy lying on him. The first thing he noticed was the light blond hair which was not common in the country.
He tried to pull the man up, but couldn't help but pull his hand back when he touched the shoulder.
Wet and very cold.
When he opened his palm, it was already stained with a red color that was rarely seen in normal days.
It's blood!
Zhu Fu Gao Ming was so frightened that his breathing almost stopped.
He quickly reached for his cell phone in his pocket, intending to call emergency services and the police, but before he even touched his pocket, someone grabbed his wrist and snapped it backwards.
Zhu Fu Gaoming felt pain and was pushed to the ground before he could say anything. The blond young man sat on him and did not get up. Instead, he leaned down and came directly in front of him.
Zhu Fu Gao Ming dared not move. He looked at the pale and bloodless delicate face. The pair of cobalt blue eyes looked at him with a warning.
Could it be that I encountered a demon from the mountains that was absorbing my yang energy?
Is it a male ghost?
That was the only thing that Zhufu Gaoming could think of when he was in junior high school.
He felt the boy's cold hand slide down his hair, down to his face and neck, poking his collarbone viciously, and finally moving away.
"It doesn't look like that. Where on earth did the person go hiding?"
The boy sighed, looking disappointed, even revealing a hint of disgust.
Zhu Fu Gao Ming, who was teased to the point of having goosebumps all over his body, said: "..."
This memory seemed particularly hazy under the moonlight, and the unusual smell of blood gave people reason to think it was a dream. Even now when Zhu Fu Gao Ming recalled it, he always felt it was unreal.
——If his attempt to call the police had not failed and his wrist was indeed dislocated, he would have been threatened in a skillful manner and all his pocket money would have been taken away.
It seems that Zhu Fu Gao Ming encountered a young killer when he was in junior high school, or a bad boy of other professions, who pinned him in the yard and touched his face. He didn't care about the injuries on his body at all, but instead shouted robbery.
