Chapter 17 Seeking the Truth: Kurosawa Online Inquiry
"Little C, call Gu Gu."
[Xiao C received this and will call Gu Gu for you immediately. Please wait patiently.]
[Beep beep beep──]
The ringing of a phone connected to a receiver came from Kurosawa Jin's mind; he had already returned to his dormitory with Hideaki Naoto.
With no one around, it was a perfect opportunity to discuss some serious issues.
[Gu Gu: "Hey, little one, what do you want?"]
[Kurosawa Jin: "Heh, I hope you can come and explain what a 'Certificate of Qualification for Reconstructing If-Line Worlds' is?"]
[Gu Gu: "Damn! You know? You know everything! Who told you that?"]
[Gu Gu: "I give up, I'm coming right away."]
In less than a second, a girl in a white dress appeared out of thin air in the room.
She first scanned her surroundings, and finally set her sights on Naoto Hideaki.
Gu Gu suddenly jumped up, pointed at Ying Hai Zhiren, and cursed, "It was you! You're the one who ruined my grand plan!"
"So what if it's me?"
"You're going to tell him everything?"
"No, I'm waiting for you. I only said 'IF Line World Reorganization Qualification Certificate'."
"Hey, you two, don't treat me like I'm invisible, okay?" Kurosawa Jin stood with his arms crossed, his face slightly dark.
"Ah Jin, it's a long story." Seeing that she couldn't hide it from Kurosawa Jin, Gu Gu had no choice but to tell him the whole story.
"As I said before, your original world was an 'if' scenario world that I created based on this main world."
"However, a small problem arose; that world collapsed." Gu Gu paused, cautiously glancing at Kurosawa Jin's expression.
She said it was a small problem, but how could a small problem cause the whole world to collapse?
"If we want to rebuild the 'if' world, we need a 'Certificate of Qualification for Reconstructing the 'if' World' issued by the consciousness of the main world."
Upon hearing this, Kurosawa Jin frowned and said, "So, do I need to collect approval values from all the red teams to obtain that qualification certificate?"
"The 'supreme magic weapon' you mentioned at the beginning wouldn't be this, would it?"
Gu Gu nodded. "Yes, you guessed right."
“That being said, if you could easily obtain the certification, I wouldn’t be standing here,” Naoto Hideaki interjected.
“I know you. You used to be a member of the ‘Anti-IF Line Alliance’.”
Another new word appeared, and Gu Gu continued to explain it to Kurosawa Jin.
The "Anti-IF Line Alliance," as the name suggests, consists of members who utterly despise the IF line world. They spend years roaming through time and space, attempting to destroy all IF line worlds.
“My brother has his eye on you. It won’t be long before he finds a way to kill you.” Naoto Hideaki turned to look at Jin Kurosawa, trying to convey the danger of the situation through his eyes.
"Am I already dead?"
"No, it's a complete annihilation of the soul, not a plot-driven death."
Kurosawa Jin, as the protagonist of the "if" timeline, is the chosen one and the darling of the creators of the "if" timeline.
If his soul is erased, then there is no hope for the if timeline world to be rebuilt.
Naoto Hideaki turned to look at the scenery outside the window, seemingly reminiscing, "I was indeed a member of the Alliance, but after I defected, my brother relentlessly pursued me."
“I understand the Alliance, I can help you…” Naoto Hideaki paused for a moment, his eyes sharpening.
"Destroy the Alliance!"
"Since you're willing to help us, there must be conditions, right?" Kurozawa Jin asked, knowing the principle of give and take.
"Yes, I want an identity that will allow me to have a safe place to live after the Alliance is destroyed."
Naoto Hideaki noticed Jin Kurosawa when they were at the movie theater that day and has been observing him ever since, considering whether he is worth betting on.
The Anti-IF Alliance has been entrenched in time and space, and to this day, no one has been able to find its headquarters to eliminate this force.
With Naoto Hideaki, it was like gaining a huge boost.
"No problem at all!" Gu Gu readily agreed, then took out the control panel and began to change the settings.
"You don't have a legitimate identity in this world right now, do you?"
"Yes, I was able to get into the police academy entirely because of my special ability."
Upon hearing the words "superpowers," Kurosawa Jin couldn't help but cast an inquiring glance at Hidemi Naoto.
Sensing his curiosity, Naoto Eikai dutifully explained to him, "Anything is possible in this world. My brother and I were born with special abilities. Mine is hypnosis, and my brother's is invisibility!"
As an unregistered resident of this world, he has been carefully using his supernatural abilities to block the rejection from the world's consciousness. If he can successfully cooperate with Gu Gu, he can reduce the rejection.
"Aha, done." Gu Gu pressed the last key on the panel.
"I will change your current identity to that of Ah Jin's adoptive father's younger brother, the unknown young master of the Kurosawa Group!"
"How is it, my dear second son?" Gu Gu asked with a mischievous grin.
Naoto Hidemi:......
"It doesn't matter," he said indifferently.
"And you?" Gu Gu asked, looking at Kurosawa Jin.
"Ahem, I have no objection."
Not only did they have no objections, they were even secretly pleased.
After all the matters were discussed, Gu Gu and Yinghai Zhiren left one after another.
Kurosawa Jin looked out the window at the bustling campus below.
If the mission fails, everything he has will be shattered, and his family and friends will disappear.
Thinking of this, Kurosawa Jin's eyes turned cold and his expression became solemn.
──
"Bang bang bang!"
During the shooting class, the students from the Zhongdian class practiced free shooting with pistols.
"My God, Jin, are you cheating? All five shots hit the bullseye!" Inoshita Akira stared in disbelief at the target that Kurosawa Jin had shot at.
Kurosawa Jin put down his phone and glanced at Hidemi Naoto's target.
The bullet holes were concentrated in the middle, but some were still scattered.
"You're not bad either, you just need to practice more," he comforted her.
Haruhiko Ichihara nodded, intending to go back and continue practicing, but inadvertently noticed his target.
The bullet holes on it were scattered everywhere, some even on the edge of the target.
"Ah, this..." Jingxia Yao didn't know how to comfort him for a moment.
"My shooting skills still have a lot of room for improvement," Haruhiko Ichihara analyzed as he placed the spent cartridge case into the magazine.
"You can find a method that suits you by just trying and adjusting."
As he spoke, he raised a gun.
"Bang!"
A bullet hits the bullseye.
This move really caught Haruhiko Ichihara off guard.
Jingxia Yao silently raised his hand and gave a thumbs up.
Then, unable to stay idle, he went to observe Naoto Hideaki.
Since the friendly meeting between the three that day, Kurosawa Jin has told Ichihara Haruhiko that Hideaki Naoto had no ill intentions.
The chestnut-haired youth stopped acting and revealed his true personality, integrating well into the group of three, including Kurosawa Jin.
During this time, Yojiro Inoue was still puzzled by the drastic change in Naoto Eikai's personality, but the single-minded Yojiro didn't think about it too much and accepted it calmly.
The four of them attended classes and trained together, and after several weeks of spending time together, their relationship improved considerably.
At noon, the police academy students finished their first morning of training and headed to the cafeteria for lunch.
The dense crowds surged like waves along the paved road.
This "hunger force" possesses the power to destroy everything, and anyone who dares to stop them from pursuing the "truth of food" will surely suffer a terrible fate of being bruised and battered.
"I wonder what the cafeteria has to offer today?" Inoshita Yo asked, putting his arm around Kurosawa Jin's neck. "Jin, is there anything you'd like to eat?"
"Anything is fine." Kurosawa Jin wiped the sweat from his forehead; he was always drenched in sweat after training.
To be honest, he would rather take a shower than eat.
"Little Naoto, what about you?"
“Noodles, udon noodles,” said Naoto Hideaki in a flat, emotionless voice.
“Okay, then I’ll have noodles too,” Jingxia Yao said, completely lacking in assertiveness.
Kurosawa Jin smiled broadly. "So you hadn't decided what to eat yet?"
"Hehe." Jingxia Yao chuckled awkwardly.
“I bet Haruhiko ate curry again today.” He put his hand on Haruhiko Ichihara’s neck.
The other party did not resist, clearly accepting Inoue Yo's way of interacting; he calmly replied, "Yes."
"Haruhiko, are you really not planning to try other flavors? Won't you get tired of eating curry every day?" Kurosawa Jin said gently.
"fine."
"As expected of you, Haruhiko."
The four of them were chatting and laughing when they saw the technical maintenance staff of Dapi walking out of the cafeteria.
"Have you all eaten your fill? This afternoon, we'll be checking the equipment around the playground!" the leader shouted to the crowd.
"Everyone, give it your all! Do a good job!"
"yes!"
Looking at the crowd, Jingxia Yao asked in confusion, "Hey, what are they doing here?"
"The sports meet is going to be held the week after next, and I heard that the leaders have decided to conduct a thorough maintenance and inspection of all the sports fields." Haruhiko Ichihara said, adjusting his glasses that had slipped down.
"Soga!"
As the group drew closer, the four of them brushed past them.
Suddenly, Kurosawa Jin noticed the malicious gazes in the crowd. His green eyes widened abruptly, and he stopped to examine them carefully.
"What's wrong, Jin?" Inoshita Yao asked.
"It's nothing." Kurosawa Jin smiled awkwardly and quickly caught up with them.
Naoto Hideaki also noticed the murderous intent just now. He came to Jin Kurosawa's side and whispered, "You noticed?"
"Heh!" Kurosawa Jin said with a hint of anticipation, "They want to kill me? We'll see if they have the ability!"
You'd better be careful.
"Hey, what are you two whispering about again?" At that moment, Jingxia Yao peeked out from between the two.
"I just said I'm planning to eat udon noodles like you guys," Kurosawa Jin said, trying to persuade him.
Inoshita Yo was overjoyed when he heard this, "Haha, Haruhiko, are you eating curry all by yourself?"
"Childish!" Haruhiko Ichihara said speechlessly. "The sports meet is in a few weeks. Shouldn't we be thinking about how to design our class flag?"
Each class must design and make its own class flag, a tradition that has been passed down for many years at the police academy.
"Why don't we just leave it to A-Jin?" Inoshita Yao suggested.
"Why me?"
"Because, Ah-Zhen looks like he has a lot of artistic talent."
Kurosawa Jin: ...
“I’ll do it,” Naoto Hideaki said, taking on the task with the shortest sentence.
"Oh, Naoto, you're amazing!" Inoshita Yao excitedly rushed towards him.
