Chapter 135 A New Brain

134.

You are wrapping yourself up like a quilt worm, enjoying an afternoon nap in the dark room on your comfortable bed.

Why can't humans evolve the ability to hibernate? Who knows the happiness of lying in bed all day in the cold weather...

Hey, wait? You open your eyes, roll around in bed, and try to mix the water in your head. How come it's winter now? Why did it feel like it was summer yesterday?

Does time pass so quickly? You vaguely wonder if it is because you play three-no games every day that your perception of time is messed up?

I don't understand, but it's done... You roll over in bed again and go back to sleep.

It was not until Midorikawa Hikaru came in, shook you up, and reminded you with a kind smile that you had to go to Poirot in the evening and would be late if you didn't get up, that you reluctantly parted from your beloved bed.

You slowly put on three layers of clothes, then walked out of the apartment, shivering as you faced the falling rice flowers.

"Are you cold?" Midorikawa frowned when he saw you curled up into a ball. He seemed to be worried about your physical condition. "If you stay in the room all the time, your health will deteriorate, right?"

Or should we let Matsuda and his friends come more often? Take them out for a walk? Midorikawa thought, wondering if Gin knew about Matsuda and his friends' existence...

Although Midorikawa Hikaru has seen Gin take you out to sunbathe a few times to get rid of his stay-at-home attitude, he finds it hard to imagine Gin being gentle to others - that would make him feel like Gin was being taken away by someone.

Midorikawa Hikaru followed quietly and found out that Gin was indeed not gentle to you. He just roughly carried the person out of the room and then stood aside, not caring at all as long as he made sure the person didn't die.

It doesn't seem like caring about you, but more like completing a task that has to be completed.

Why does the organization care so much about you? Midorikawa Hikaru pondered, but no matter what...

He and Ling will protect the children of Senior Yangzhi Ganlu.

"If it's too cold..." Midorikawa Hikaru suggested, "Should we take a taxi there?"

"No." You rejected Midorikawa's suggestion righteously, "Winter is the peak season for beihua cases, especially the blizzard mountain mode... Uh, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with us, but--"

You looked around and carefully approached Midorikawa Hikaru: "Christmas cases and snowy day cases can happen anywhere and at any time."

This is the summary of the experience of our predecessors! And you are teaching Midorikawa Hikaru the great way to survive.

"Haha." Midorikawa Hikaru kept smiling quietly and listened to you with an indulgent attitude. After that, he did not forget to comfort you, "Don't worry, ○-san, you have to have faith in the police of Beihua. Besides, there are not so many cases..."

Before Midorikawa Hikaru could finish his words, a sharp and piercing scream came from across the street: "Ah——"

"Someone's dead—"

Midorikawa Hikaru showed an expression of doubt about life.

You skillfully took out your phone and called the police, and patted Midorikawa Hikaru on the shoulder: "See, that's what Mika is like, giving people new surprises anytime and anywhere."

After a pause, you comforted him as someone who had experienced it: "Mr. Midorikawa, you just didn't live in Mika for a long time before. When you stay in Mika for a long time..."

"Will I ever get used to this?" Midorikawa forced a smile and murmured, "This is something you can never get used to..."

“No.” You put your hands back in your pockets, “If I wait for you to stay longer, then you stay longer.”

Yeah, you just wanna talk some trash.

Arriving before the police were the rice flower specialty - the most famous sleepy Kogoro, and the elementary school student god of death whom you least wanted to see.

Fortunately, Midorikawa Hikaru didn't stay to watch the detective perform his reasoning hobby, so you easily pulled his sleeve and left the scene.

It's strange. I keep seeing the Grim Reaper in recent cases. Are you possessed by some strange thing? Do you want to find a temple to exorcise the evil spirit?

It's not a good idea to have an encounter with the Grim Reaper in Mihua.

"Sorry we're late."

Midorikawa Hikaru dragged you, who was still vomiting souls, into Poirot and considerately brushed the snow off your body.

"Did anything happen on the way?" Amuro Toru looked over worriedly as he was putting the small clay pot on the stove. "What took you so long?"

"Haha..." Midorikawa Hikaru laughed awkwardly twice, and he explained dryly, "I encountered some cases on the way..."

"Oh——" Matsuda Jinpei turned around with interest, pushed up his sunglasses full of dark evil power, and said teasingly, "Master Guang will not solve the case himself, right?"

Midorikawa was silent. How should he answer? It was a journey of less than half an hour, but along the way, he encountered three murders, five robberies, and some petty thefts...

Are there so many cases involving Mika? Midorikawa Hikaru is in self-doubt, and everyone else on the road seems to be used to it. Is he really the one who is so frightened?

The air conditioner in Poirot was turned up high. After you took off your scarf and gloves, you kindly came to the rescue of Midorikawa Hikaru: "It's not a few cases, it's hundreds of millions."

There was a murder case and the police considered you two suspects. You were interrogated for a long time before you were cleared of suspicion.

"This is all the curse of the god of death." You said sadly, "The tarot program this morning said that people who like to play games should not go out on snowy nights."

Why would the Grim Reaper come out to work in such a cold weather? Could it be that Christmas is coming and the Grim Reaper is looking for a place to confess his love to the person he likes?

Is the lover of the god of death also a child? You are caught in a faint myth. How much luck would you have to be liked by the goddess of luck to be able to withstand the love of the god of death?

"Eh..." Hagiwara Kenji whistled, "Isn't this a wonderful experience? I'm so jealous - Kenji-chan has been sitting on the bench in the office for a week."

"You guys are all busy, that must be the end-of-year summary of the Death God, right?" You put a piece of tofu into the bowl and couldn't help but complain, "The bomb disposal team has work to do every day, how many eight-egg specialties must be stuffed into the rice flower... It hurts!"

Who? Who hit you on the head while you were eating delicious tofu?

You covered your head with your hands and looked around, finally locking onto your target and looking fiercely at Matsuda Jinpei: "I have tolerated you for a long time! Do you know that hitting someone on the head will make them stupid?"

"Eh? It's not me this time... Haha, it's you? Do you have room to be stupid?" The strong Matsuda Jinpei blocked your attack with one hand, and did not forget to taunt you, "Wow, Hagi, look, does ○ look like a fat frog?"

"Pfft... Indeed... Ahem, Jinpei-chan, how can you say that about the cute ○-chan? It's really outrageous."

"Please put away that smile on your face for a moment."

"You damned curly-haired gorilla, you messed with me..." With the help of Midorikawa Hikaru, you escaped from Matsuda Jinpei and shouted angrily, "You messed with a soft persimmon!"

"Well, stop arguing." Amuro Toru, wearing the same smile as Hagiwara Kenji, came over to smooth things over. "○-san, haven't you been wanting to eat this for a long time? Let's eat."

If Mr. Amuro's rice wasn't so delicious, you would have poured concentrated cilantro juice into Matsuda Jinpei's bowl - the latter sneezed violently under your dark gaze.

"But..." Hagiwara Kenji poked his head out, "○-chan is much more lively than before. Did you make new friends?"

Thinking of how Gin would come to pick you up every now and then to go out in the sun, Midorikawa Hikari was choked by the water.

Thinking of you chatting and laughing with Chianti Cohen at the base, Toru Amuro coughed.

"Kenji-chan and Jinpei Ko, are they no longer my trusted companions?" Hagiwara Kenji pretended to cry without any acting skills, "Kenji-chan is so sad..."

"Maybe..." You thought about it and answered honestly, "I play too many games."

Being a cat man is too free, which makes you almost not a human being in reality, and you meow to your big brother all the time.

"Games?" Amuro Toru looked disapprovingly at him, "You should play less games and exercise more..."

He looked at Matsuda Jinpei and said, "Matsuda, take ○ out for a walk more often."

Wait, Matsuda? Didn't you call him Curly-san before? You noticed something was wrong. Even if they hit it off at first sight... did they hit it off so deeply at first sight?

The scheming frog keeps touching his belly——

It must be that Jinpei Matsuda secretly hooked up with Mr. Amuro behind your back, just for the delicious meal that Mr. Amuro made!

Thinking of this, you slammed the table and stood up, angrily whispering: "It was obviously me who came first..."

"Whether it's Mr. Amuro's sandwiches, Mr. Amuro's hot pot, or Mr. Amuro's seasonal fruit parfait...Matsuda, tsk, you don't have to come first."

"So why did you two become close friends secretly? Did you secretly eat delicious food without telling me... It hurts!"

Matsuda Jinpei, who really took action this time, was speechless and said, "What are you thinking about all day long?"

"Whatever you want to eat in the morning, lunch, and dinner." You covered your head, aggrieved, "Vatasi is just a nerd who loves to eat, what's wrong with that?"

"Oh, right..." You remembered the strange time issue again and tentatively asked the four people at the table, "Do you remember yesterday's date?"

"I remember." Hagiwara Kenji replied, "July 6th."

July 6? What's with all the heavy snow and freezing temperatures today?

You asked cautiously again: "So what is today?"

"December 21st." Matsuda Jinpei looked at you suspiciously, "Have you really become stupid from playing games?"

"Yesterday it was July and today it's December, don't you think something is wrong?" You try to explain, "Look, yesterday it was too hot even for a swimsuit, but today I have to wear a super thick down jacket..."

"○-san, have you really stayed in the room for too long?" Midorikawa looked at you worriedly, "As expected, I shouldn't have let you stay in the room all these days."

"Do you need to contact a doctor?" Amuro Toru's expression was serious, and it didn't look like he was joking. "This kind of cognitive disorder has a high chance of recovery if it is treated in the early stages."

…

At this moment, you vaguely understand something: there is definitely something wrong with the world you live in.

What does it matter? You can calm down. If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. The awakening hunting moment, the awakening of NPCs, and the false scripts in the world of rebirth have nothing to do with you.

Now what concerns you is——

You picked up your chopsticks and quickly picked up the last meatball while everyone else was discussing the topic just now.

Delicious meatballs!

"Oh my god." You chewed and gave Matsuda Jinpei a provocative look, "Niji preaching."

"Slurp it up..." You swallowed the meatball and drank some water, looking at Amuro Toru curiously, "Why did Mr. Amuro invite us to dinner?"

Amuro Toru did not answer your question directly. Instead, he looked at Midorikawa Hikaru, sat up straight, and said word by word: "My name is not Amuro Toru."

"I'm Rei Furuya, an undercover agent from the Japanese Public Security Bureau."

"Your father..." He took a deep breath, "is our predecessor."

ah?

You looked at Toru Amuro blankly, trying to see from his face whether he was deceiving you - unfortunately, you didn't have Edogawa Ranpo's skill of seeing through the truth at a glance, and you couldn't think of the benefits of the other party deceiving you.

so……

You mechanically stuffed a cabbage leaf into your mouth.

So your father who sells fake medicine is actually a policeman? He went undercover in Big Brother's company to look for corporate criminal records...

And you, were born in a family where both your parents are policemen, a super famous and super powerful family?

Hiss, my head itches...
