Chapter 114 "They are one person."

…

Furutani Rei returned to the safe house, the words of the white-haired young man still echoing in his ears.

The moment he heard it, countless rebuttals and reproaches emerged in his mind, but he couldn't say them, and all the words were suppressed.

Now, having calmed down a little, he understood even more clearly that it was meaningless to discuss world views with someone like Magno.

Such people can only be punished by violence, and this is exactly why the police exist.

As soon as he got back, he went into his room and called Rum.

After the call was connected, he said without a second's pause: "Iwashige Ichiro was killed by Magno."

Rum said in a gloomy voice: "I already know! What's going on?!"

"I let him go as you requested. I don't know what happened there. When I got there, Iwashige Ichiro had already died at Magno's feet."

"Magnol!" Rum was so angry that he was about to lose his mind: "Is he going to rebel?"

Furiya Ling chuckled: "You have always emphasized to me how terrifying Magno is, but now it seems that you have underestimated him!"

Rum said coldly: "It's not your turn to speak yet!"

"What now?"

Rum was silent for a while, then said viciously, "I can no longer control him... Bourbon, find a chance to get rid of him."

Fūya Rei's breathing stagnated slightly: "Do you believe in my ability?"

"I'll get someone to cooperate with you. Magnus asked for this."

"If that's the case, then you have no reason to hide it from me. I'm very curious..." Fūya Ling asked, "What is the relationship between Magno and Hane Ling?"

"They are one person."

"?!" Jianggu Ling's pupils shrank suddenly.

The excitement I had just felt when I heard that Rum was going to get rid of Magno was gone, and all that was left was a shiver and a chill down my spine.

"You said... they are the same person?" he asked again.

"Yu Renling, that's Magno."

Rum said, "Now, you should understand why I asked you to keep an eye on him? Why didn't I tell you? Because if you show even the slightest flaw in front of Yu Renling, he will probably guess that you already know his identity."

"Bourbon, from now on, you have to do exactly what I say..."

Furuya Rei could no longer think about what Rum was saying.

He memorized and responded mechanically, but his whole body was in torment and fear as if he was being torn apart.

Ling... is it Magno?

That's a lie. What does Rum want him to do?

While analyzing the other party's purpose, suspicious images flashed through Rei Furuya's mind uncontrollably.

Magno is wearing a mask...

Ling said that his power was greater than theirs...

Ling has never appeared with Magno!

...No, don't think about these things. If you really need to explain, you can find a reasonable explanation.

The most important thing now is to figure out why Rum said this.

Is to tell Ling about this.

…

Before carrying out this mission, Miyakawa Ryo received two orders at the same time.

One was given by Gin, who asked him to kill Iwashige Ichiro at all costs.

The second one was from Rum, who asked him to protect Iwashige Ichiro.

The two orders contradict each other, and Miyagawa Ling is bound to make a choice.

He figured out what secret Iwashige Ichiro had in a very short time.

This man knows a lot of things that are beneficial to Rum. He is a chess piece that Rum keeps outside.

There are many things involved with Iwashige Ichiro, and Miyagawa Ryo made the best judgment - this person cannot be left to Rum.

After the mission was completed, Miyakawa Ling received a call from Rum.

"Are you going to betray me?" Rum's voice was filled with suppressed anger, "Or have you already joined Gin?"

Miyakawa Ling: "Boss, I'm really sad when you say that."

"I've said it before, Gin and I are irreconcilable, I will kill him sooner or later."

"Haha," Rum laughed coldly, "Then why did you kill Iwashige Ichiro?"

"Because Gin gave me an order."

"Magnol!"

"Calm down, don't be angry." Miyakawa Ling was as nonsensical as usual, making it hard to tell what he was thinking: "I am currently under Gin's control anyway. If I can't even complete an order like this, how can he trust me?"

"Do you know how important Iwashige Ichiro is?"

"It's not that important, is it?"

"you……"

Miyakawa Ling continued: "If he was really that important, you wouldn't choose to use him as a useless chess piece to test me."

Rum was shocked and silent for a moment.

Miyakawa Ling took over the role of host and asked with a smile: "The fact that I didn't destroy the data last time has made you no longer trust me, right?"

"Magnol, trust needs to be earned through actions."

"I basically do my job conscientiously, but the recent assignments always make me feel that you, the boss, want to get rid of me. No matter how important the job is, you have to save your life first, right?"

"I don't think so at all! There is no way a mission can be risk-free!" Rum refuted twice and then remained silent. Then he calmed down a little and sighed, "...Then prove it with the next mission, Magno. I'll give you one last chance."

"Don't be so scary. I will definitely finish it next time. How about I give you this promise?"

"Let your actions speak for themselves." Rum hung up the phone.

Next time? There won't be a next time.

The losses these two times were too great, and he would never trust Magnus again.

Even though the other party had helped him a lot, for a person like Magno, any slight movement would need to be magnified countless times and considered and doubted. Only in this way would he not be swallowed up without being noticed.

No matter how useful a chess piece is, if it doesn't obey, Rum can just give up.

What he said to Magnus was just to lower each other's guard.

After Miyagawa Ling put down his phone, his eyes were calm and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Will Rum do anything?" asked Kenji Hagiwara.

Miyakawa Ling replied: "Maybe he will want to kill me."

Hagiwara Kenji was shocked: "Komiyagawa!"

"Don't worry. Rum looks different from Gin. He is reasonable and good at encouraging people. But in fact, he is the same as Gin at heart. I expected him to kill me."

"So what are you going to do? Are you going to cooperate with Gin?"

"Gin won't trust me either." Miyagawa Ling himself didn't seem nervous: "But... I can find something for Rum to do."

As he spoke, he began to edit text messages and sent several messages to Gin that were unfavorable to Rum.

Gin: [? ]

Miyakawa Ling: [Guess what you are interested in]

Gin: [……]

Hagiwara Kenji thought for a moment: "If Rum is really in a bad situation, not only will he not kill you, he might even ask you for help."

"The premise is that the situation is unfavorable enough. It is impossible to achieve this in a short period of time."

After all, Rum is the second-in-command of the organization. He and Gin have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years without a clear winner. It is impossible to defeat him with just these few pieces of information.

"Then you are in danger now." Hagiwara Kenji was a little worried.

Miyakawa Ling comforted him: "Don't worry, even if Rum wants to kill me, he won't do it right away. He will slowly plan for a long time."

"... Komiyagawa, it took me a long time to kill you. Is that good news?"

Miyagawa Rei patted Hagiwara Kenji's shoulder mysteriously and said, "What we need most now is time."

time?

Hagiwara Kenji blinked, and an idea suddenly occurred to him: "'Main plot'?!"

"That's right!" Miyakawa Ling said with a smile: "Although the main storyline has not progressed yet, we can start planning now."

"…You are so scary, stay away from me!"

Hagiwara Kenji slipped away: "I'd better go see Jingguang!"

Miyagawa Ling was innocent: "I didn't do anything..."

But, alas...

Let's not talk about the long-term things for now. He looked at the three options on the list and decided to hurry up and kill a few more people. It would be inconvenient to do it if he lived with everyone.

"Three thousand...what a distant goal."

Miyagawa Ryo felt that the title of the organization's first model worker could finally fall upon him.

…

Inside the safe house, Fūya Rei knocked on the door.

"What's up?"

He said "hmm".

Hearing his voice, the door quickly opened, and the black-haired, cat-eyed sniper looked at him: "Bourbon."

"Can we come in and talk?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang looked into You Xunran's eyes and slowly made way: "Come in."

Rei Furuya walked into the room.

"What's the matter?" Zhufu Jingguang asked without much enthusiasm.

Furiya Rei lowered his eyes, and after a long while he smiled like a bourbon: "It's nothing serious, I just wanted to talk to you about Magno."

Zhufu Jingguang's expression became more serious: "Magno..."

"You said that the senior executive behind Ling couldn't be Magno, right?" asked Furutani Ling.

Zhu Fu Jingguang was very nervous.

He didn't know why Yu Xunran suddenly said that.

but……

"It's possible."

"Do you also think it's possible?" asked Furuya Rei.

"Magno has participated in the Nordic mission, and Ling was there at the time. The most direct thing is that Ling is now working under Magno, but he says he has a high authority." Zhu Fu Jingguang analyzed calmly.

"..." Furiya Ling smiled, his arms began to tremble: "Then tell me, what should we do?"

"Just be the same as usual. Ling is Ling and Magno is Magno."

Same as usual?

Furiya Ling clenched his fists: "Do you think I should ask Ling?"

"Ask me about this directly?"

"Yes, we are good friends."

Zhu Fu Jingguang smiled very Scottishly: "Ling probably doesn't want to get involved with someone like Magno, but if you ask him, maybe he will tell you the truth. It's up to you whether you want to go or not."

Fūya Rei gritted his teeth and said nothing.

"You seem to be putting a lot of pressure on yourself," said Morobushi Jingguang, "What are you struggling with?"

“…I’m scared.”

"Fear?"

Furiya Rei lowered his head. Yes, he was very scared.

"But..." He also knew what he should do.
