Chapter 59 Erasing Memories
Inside the pure white room, various medical equipment were neatly arranged around the perimeter. There was only one south-facing window in the room, and sunlight shone on the floor, creating interplay of light and shadow that reflected the busy figures of people.
Half an hour ago in the dark room, Kurosawa Jin was like a cow or sheep being roasted over a fire, unable to refuse the BOSS. This resulted in him lying motionless on the operating table, his hands and feet bound, leaving him at the mercy of others.
Negroni was busily fiddling with various bottles and jars on the table next to the bed, the clattering and clanging noises irritating Kurosawa Jin.
After a long while, he picked up a syringe, his eyes darting around, and looked at Kurosawa Jin, who was lying quietly on the operating table.
The liquid in the syringe had an eerie, greenish hue. Upon seeing it, Kurosawa Jin felt a chill run down his spine; it was clearly not a good thing.
“This potion is an advanced version of the S potion,” Negroni explained. “Although it’s called an advanced version, it actually has nothing to do with the S potion. It’s a high-dimensional potion that I brought from outside the world.”
"But none of that matters. As long as the BOSS believes it is an S-potion, then it is an S-potion, and that is what an S-potion is."
Looking at the liquid swaying in the syringe, Kurosawa Jin thought of the two experimental subjects he had seen at the American base. After being injected with the drug, would he become a monster like those experimental subjects?
“Hehehehehehehehehe—” Negroni let out a strange laugh, intentionally or unintentionally shaking the tip of the syringe needle. “Lord Gin, guess what this potion does.”
Kurosawa Jin glanced at Negroni with disgust, completely unwilling to pay attention to this mentally ill person, and simply turned his head away and closed his eyes.
“Hehe~ It’s okay if you don’t want to guess, I’ll tell you…” Negroni said to himself, “It can erase all your memories, and you will become a blank sheet of paper, which I can manipulate at will. At that time, you can become whoever I want you to be.”
Upon hearing this, Kurosawa Jin opened his eyes. He understood that Negroni wanted to turn him into a puppet who could only follow the plot.
Without one's own consciousness, what's the difference between that and being dead?
“It’s no different from being dead, and perhaps it’s even worse than being dead,” Negroni said, as if answering Kurosawa Jin.
He was wearing a white coat, which should have given him the image of a white-clad angel, but now he was more evil than a demon from hell.
Kurosawa Jin swallowed hard. The situation was getting out of control, and he was forced into a passive position, where he could only wait for someone to come to his rescue.
"Actually, there's something I don't understand: how did you know where Morofushi Kagemitsu was hiding?" Kurosawa Jin turned to Negroni and asked.
"Are you trying to stall for time?" Negroni narrowed his eyes and immediately saw through Kurosawa Jin's intentions. "I'm not one of those idiotic villains."
"No one will come to save you. Since I have made this plan, I will definitely resolve those uncertainties."
"However, I might as well tell you. I secretly implanted a miniature tracking device on Morofushi Kagemitsu..."
Just as Negroni had planned, Zhang Tong from Japan wanted to break through the window and descend from the sky to save Kurosawa Jin, but he was stopped by a certain troublesome guy.
"Bang!" Zhang Tongri was kicked into the trunk of a tree. The shaking of the trunk startled the birds that were dozing in the tree, and several leaves fell, which happened to land on Zhang Tongri's black hair.
"Pah!" He spat out a mouthful of blood, stood up somewhat disheveled, and tore off a few leaves from his head.
"Hello, we meet again. Being locked out of the world must be tough." Number One was still wrapped in a black robe, mysterious and obscuring his true face. He waved to Zhang Tongri.
Faced with Number One's ridicule, Zhang Tongri remained silent, only "politely" making an international friendly gesture towards Number One.
"Get out of the way, or don't blame me for being impolite," he warned, as a small blue ball slowly floated next to Zhang Tongri.
They're currently in the grove of trees downstairs from the organization's experimental building, which is hardly a good place to fight.
Seeing this, Number One did not back down at all. He summoned an ancient longsword with his right hand. "I have already cleared the area. No one will bother us. Let's have a good fight this time."
He rushed towards Zhang Tongri at an extremely fast speed and showed no mercy. Just as he was about to make contact with Zhang Tongri, the little blue ball suddenly conjured a shield and firmly protected Zhang Tongri.
Seeing that he couldn't break through the shield, Number One took two steps back and launched a verbal offensive, "Xiao Tong, if it weren't for me leading the way back then, you wouldn't have been able to enter the Time and Space Bureau. Why wouldn't you leave the Time and Space Bureau with me?"
"Shut up, I have nothing to say to a traitor like you!"
As he spoke, Zhang Tongri controlled the small blue ball to return to its original form, and at the same time split it into several pieces, each of which contained a huge amount of energy.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh——"
Several small blue balls were launched together, streaking through the sweltering air like precision missiles, heading straight for Number One.
"Thump thump thump!" Number One dodged all of these attacks.
Number One laughed and said, "Heh, Zhang Tongri, one day you'll realize that my choice was right!"
As Zhang Tongri's rescue efforts failed to materialize, a chill ran through Kurosawa Jin's heart. If nothing unexpected happened, something was about to go wrong!
Negroni pressed the syringe to expel the air, and without any hesitation, pierced Kurosawa Jin's hand with the needle.
The needle pierced Kurosawa Jin's fair skin and entered his blue blood vessels, the green liquid flowing into his body through the cold needle.
After a brief period of pain, a cool sensation spread along the veins in his wrist, and his once clear mind gradually became blurred, like a kite with a broken string.
"I've really messed up here today..." Kurosawa Jin thought to himself.
Negroni saw Kurosawa Jin peacefully close his eyes and nodded in satisfaction, thinking that his plan had gone very smoothly.
At this moment...
"Bang bang bang—"
In the room where there were only two people, violent sounds inexplicably came from above. Above the operating table, in the void, something seemed to be cracking.
"Splash!"
In an instant, a fist dripping with golden blood tore through the air and emerged from a hole.
With each violent thud of the fist, the wound grew larger and larger, as if there were a glass wall inside that was about to be smashed to pieces.
The moment that opening appeared, the flow of time in this world stopped. Negroni immediately sensed something was wrong and turned to get away from the opening.
However, it seems it's too late...
A tremendous impact came from his abdomen, and intense pain spread throughout his body. Negroni was punched into the wall in the distance and embedded in it.
"You dare lock me out of the world?! Are you tired of living?!"
The girl in the white dress was no longer as gentle as before; anger burned fiercely behind her.
Her hair was disheveled, and there were some scratches on her face and body from the World Wall. Her hands were even more of a mess, with golden liquid dripping down from them, the result of smashing the World Wall.
“You, a high-dimensional creator, personally intervened for the sake of…” Negroni spat out blood, still unable to resist his jerkiness, “Are you out of your mind!”
This remark enraged Gu Gu again, and he proceeded to punch Negroni in the face once more.
"Since you're in such a hurry to be reincarnated, I'll grant your wish!!!"
"You son of a bitch, you want to kill my son? Then you can just wait to die."
She led Nigroni up like a chick, and said, word by word, "Your Alliance has probably never felt the wrath of the higher-dimensional creators!"
“You are completely different from the Creators I have seen before,” Negroni said in a trembling voice.
"Hmph, now you've seen it." With that, Gu Gu punched Negroni in the face again, knocking out several of his teeth.
"Hahaha, what's the use of saying all this now? The drug has already been injected. You're too late!" Negroni laughed triumphantly.
"Ugh!" Kurosawa Jin groaned on the operating table. Gu Gu turned around and saw her little one with his brows furrowed and cold sweat pouring down his face, as if he were trapped in an endless nightmare.
She cursed under her breath, released Negroni, and rushed anxiously to the operating table to check on Kurosawa Jin's condition.
“No consciousness, the consciousness has sunk to the depths of the sea of consciousness.” Gu Gu gritted her teeth, fiddling with the Black Swamp Formation lying there.
This is a bit tricky. Gu Gu cursed again, ran up to Negroni, and kicked him hard in the groin.
"Ah—"
"Hand over the inhibitor right now, or I'll make you suffer terribly."
"Hiss—crazy woman!" Negroni, bleeding from all seven orifices, knelt on the ground like a shrimp, cursing and swearing, but refusing to speak. Gu Gu, furious, kicked him twice more.
Seeing that Negroni was about to be killed, Gu Gu suddenly became alert.
The air moved, and Number One, dressed in a black robe, appeared out of thin air, accompanied by a large wave of white smoke.
Number One held a sword in his hand and stabbed at Gu Gu without any hesitation.
Therefore, Gu Gu had to retreat to avoid the attack, which gave Number One and Negroni a chance to escape.
"Cough cough cough, damn it."
The white smoke that filled the room drifted towards the window with the airflow.
As the smoke thinned, the little blue ball in front of the window, like a vacuum cleaner, diligently purified the air in the room, while its owner, Zhang Tongri, dragged his battered body through the window.
As soon as he landed, he wiped the blood from his head and went straight to the operating table.
"Do you have a solution?" Gu Gu walked up to Zhang Tongri.
“Although I have a universal inhibitor, it’s too late to use it now, and it won’t achieve the perfect effect.” Zhang Tongri said as he took out a vial and injected it into Kurosawa Jin’s body without changing his expression.
"He can only rely on himself."
After a moment of silence, Gu Gu suddenly picked up the unconscious Kurosawa Jin and said, "I'll go think of another way. You stay here and clean up the mess."
After saying that, she disappeared on the spot, leaving behind Zhang Tongri and a crack in the world wall that was still collapsing and growing larger.
"Little Blue, do you know how to repair the World Wall?" Zhang Tongri asked, wiping the blood that was flowing down his head again.
The little blue ball tilts its head: Aba aba aba?
