First Encounter (V plus more)
The purple-eyed former police officer was the first to stop, ready to accept his fate and face the iron fist punishment from his childhood friend. He smiled harmlessly, and when their eyes met, he flinched for a moment with a guilty conscience, and then looked back at me calmly.
For a moment, both of them fell silent.
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
Hagiwara Kenji: “…”
The curly-haired young man snorted and laughed: "Not running away?"
The young man with semi-long hair raised his hands obediently: "I won't run away."
Matsuda Jinpei glanced at the people watching the fun nearby, said "tsk", walked up to Yu Junran and took his hand: "Come with me."
The voice of Inspector Megure was heard from far behind, and he seemed to be calling for Jinpei Matsuda to go back quickly. The latter ignored him impatiently and ran away pulling Kenji Hagiwara.
Hagiwara Kenji was stunned for a moment, and then he ran with Yu Junran. The wind passed by his ears, and his steps seemed to have crossed over so many years of loneliness and separation.
The laughter from Riolanda in the earphone almost deafened Kenji Hagiwara.
"I understand, I understand. This is the scene of a young couple eloping!" Her laughter was like a silver bell ringing in a storm. "I heard clearly that you all got along like this when you were young. So, it turns out that the four of you are in this kind of relationship together!"
Hagiwara Kenji: “…”
Who taught her this? Although he knew it was an artificial intelligence that was already unknown how old it was, the childish voice was no different from that of a five-year-old girl. This former policeman almost had a heart attack and wanted to question the Ministry of Education about what it was doing.
As he ran, he took the time to communicate with Yolanda into the headset: "Is this how you get exposed to the dirty adult world, Yoli-chan?"
Yolanda puffed out her chest with pride: "Sharon taught me! She even praised me for learning so quickly!"
The corner of Hagiwara Kenji's mouth twitched, and he took off the headset and put it in his trouser pocket.
Matsuda Jinpei saw his movements clearly and gestured: "Is it okay for me to see and hear you communicating with them?"
"Ah, it's okay, the president will find a solution." As expected, Xiao Zhenping knew that he had cooperated with an organization other than the police. Wow, he won't be hated, right?
Kenji Hagiwara decided to give all the scriptwriting tasks for unexpected situations to Tang Lichu, just like Yolanda. He shrugged and put his arm around Koujinran, whom he hadn't seen for four years, "By the way, is everything okay with Inspector Megure? He and that beautiful policewoman - well, I think her last name is Sato - are anxious to find you."
Matsuda Jinpei's body stiffened for a moment when he was suddenly embraced, but he relaxed after feeling the familiar touch. "It's okay. They'll definitely ask me to write a report if they call me back."
The two young men were definitely much faster than the fat Inspector Megure. After their colleagues from the Investigation Section were left far behind and there were fewer people around them, the two men stopped and laughed together.
Kenji Hagiwara reported in his brain channel.
Kenji Hagiwara: I met Jinpei Kou, please change the plan, Mr. Tang Li!
Tang Lichu, who had already known the news in Yolanda's body, said: ...
Tang Lichu: Got it. Okay.
He himself was feeling depressed because of the script change, but the part of him in Yolanda was extremely happy because he witnessed the reunion with his childhood friend and watched his idol Jinpei Matsuda up close.
Perhaps this is why human joys and sorrows are not shared, Tang Lichu remained silent, even though Yolanda and he are essentially the same person.
But even if they didn't meet, he would have to change his plan. Who could have imagined that Jinpei Matsuda would actually rush down from the Ferris wheel box before it landed?
...This person is really not afraid of being scolded by his superiors.
Speaking of which, Yolanda and Kiyoshi Tsukizono both swore that Hagiwara Kenji would definitely be beaten up by their own little boy, but it seems that didn't happen?
"Huh? Oh, right, brother Jinping didn't beat up brother Hagiwara?" Yolanda realized belatedly and made a puzzled sound.
The headset had been put into his pocket, and Kenji Hagihara could not hear Yolanda's voice.
Then Matsuda Jinpei suddenly asked seriously, "Are you okay, Hagi?"
Hagiwara Kenji: ...?
For a moment, he didn't react to what You Xunran had misunderstood. His expression was blank for a moment, and then he suddenly realized.
It turns out that Jinpei Matsuda didn't beat him because he thought he had some sequelae from the organization's experiment!
At this moment, he suddenly received a communication from Yue Yuanqing on the channel in his brain.
Tsukizono Kiyoshi: It would be best if we could tell Jinpei that the experiment Toki went through was not very optimistic, and we need the police's help to rescue Toki.
Kenji Hagiwara was stunned for a moment and decided to answer Jinpei Matsuda first.
"Ah, you know about the experiment... Of course I'm fine, do you want me to check on you, Jinpei-chan? From my perspective, four years have passed since I woke up from a sleep, and the members of the organization responsible for us don't seem to have any intention of hurting us." He moved closer to the curly-haired police officer he hadn't seen for many years, and almost hung on him. "Although his physical strength may have faded a little, if we fight for a short time, Hagi might be able to beat Jinpei-chan down."
Matsuda Jinpei felt the weight on his body, seemed to be relieved, and raised the corners of his mouth: "Is that so? Then I feel relieved. You said it yourself, fighting or something--"
A powerful fist swung over the next moment.
Yolanda, who heard all this in the headset, laughed so hard that the professional headset almost leaked the sound.
"I told you that Hagiwara-nii won't be able to escape this punch!"
Later, the childhood friend seemed to have finished his conversation, and Tsukizono Kiyoshi received a worried inquiry from Hagiwara Kenji in his mind channel.
Kenji Hagiwara: Regarding Toki, is he okay? Is there anything I can do?
Yue Yuanqing thought for a moment and replied to him.
Yueyuan Qing: He has temporarily lost his memory now, we have to wait for him to remember his past memories.
It was getting late, and Tang Lichu's real body picked up his mobile phone and took a look. The attention from all parties was continuing to grow.
The task previously issued by the APP [Accepting the indigenous Hagiwara Kenji and expanding the organization] has been successful. He temporarily skipped the reward for this task and scrolled down to the attention level.
As the Self-Help Society has attracted a lot of attention recently, the total has reached 500%.
Among them, Matsuda Jinpei's attention has reached 90%, most likely because of Hagiwara Kenji, Tokiwa Hiiragi and Tsukizono Kiyoshi. It can be said that in addition to his daily field work and bomb disposal tasks, he has devoted all his energy to finding clues related to several childhood friends.
Following closely behind is Kenji Hagiwara with 85%. Although he is already a half-member of the Self-Help Society, this former police officer with high emotional intelligence is keenly aware of the many secrets that may be hidden underneath and is always ready to find out.
The attention of Furuya Rei also increased to 60%, perhaps because the information obtained by the Self-help Society was much more than he originally expected, and it also involved his friend Hagiwara Kenji from the police academy. And Morobushi Keimitsu also had 35% attention, mostly due to Weimar, and a small part came from Tsukizono Kiyoshi and Tsukizono Akiko who appeared at the previous gathering of the four members of the police academy group.
Date Kou's attention level is higher than Morobushi Keimitsu's, at 55%. Even though he obtains less information, since he does not have as many things to care about as the undercover Morobushi Keimitsu, he has more energy to pay attention to information related to the Self-Help Society.
In fact, the third most popular person after Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei is the FBI undercover codenamed Ley, Akai Shuichi. Perhaps because Yolanda's "joke" on his computer was so memorable, he spent a lot of time to find out who hacked his computer at that time.
Shuichi Akai provides 75% of the attention.
As for Gin and Curacao, their combined attention accounted for 95%. What surprised Tang Lichu was that Vermouth had heard of one of his aliases from somewhere, or maybe the Self-Help Society, and became interested in it, contributing 5% of the attention.
The trouble with the APP's attention level is that it does not show the task's attention to a single alias, so Tang Lichu has to guess which alias of his has been noticed by those characters whose attention has increased.
Considering that his vest appeared in the Black Organization, it is most likely Weimar, or it could be Tsukizono Akiko, codenamed Mint Julep. After all, they are the only two people who are actively carrying out missions in the organization openly.
Of course, another possibility is that the boss asked her to investigate the cause and effect of the bombing of the APTX-4857 experimental area of the organization. However, Tang Lichu guessed that if it was related to the organization's mission, the attention that Vermouth contributed would most likely not be just 5%.
After all, Vermouth is a core code member controlled by the Black Organization, and disobeying the boss is something that no Black Organization worker is willing to do.
After all, what you lose accidentally is not your money or your job, but your life.
In this way, the total attention is exactly 500%.
Tang Lichu chose to click on the side quest list.
[Host Tang Lichu, please choose:]
[Branch quest: January Garden Mingzi Chapter - Lost in the Fog City]
[Branch 3 Yolanda Chapter - Artificial Soul]
[Branch 4 Fritz - Once Existed]
Tang Lichu was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Fritz was referring to the pseudonym Fritz Liman that Yue Yuanqing often used to refer to others.
He had already decided to choose Yueyuan Qing's branch quest this time, not for the purpose of obtaining any information, but simply to experience the deep emotions and indelible bond between childhood friends.
After all, Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda are really very good people.
——他们对于月园清的情感都快要让唐笠初有些羡慕了，尽管月园清分明就是他自己扮演的。
唐笠初很快就点选了支线四。
唐笠初睁开眼，接收了月园清前五年的记忆。已经经历过一次支线的他对此还算是轻车熟路。
夜幕之下的空气冷到足以令穿着单薄的孩子瑟瑟发抖的地步，月光皎洁澄澈，但无法给予他人片刻温暖。夜风拂面，凉意激起颤抖与孤独。
或许每个孩子在叛逆期都想过离家出走，这也是为什么月园清又累又饿地坐在路边歇脚的原因。
当然月园清知道自己有多不懂事，他父母不知道去那里了，姐姐一个人照顾他们姐弟三人确实不容易。连那个讨厌的赤井秀一都能把弟妹扔给妈妈，自己去提升自己，为找爸爸做准备呢。
但有的时候就是没来由的不高兴。
他今年六岁，按道理来说不应该抱怨姐姐只顾着照顾未断奶的弟弟，不应该因为小学一年级四次家长会家里都没人来而心生怨怼。他知道姐姐要照顾弟弟，知道姐姐要上学，也知道姐姐要半夜打工，用网络做一些不怎么被允许的事情。
但是他会孤单，在独自一人睡在三十平米的家里，炎炎夏日忍受炎热的时候甚至没有人聊天解闷时，他只是想要找人说说话。
但就像是诅咒一样，他总是不自觉就被同学们忽略了，独自前来独自离开，默默无闻就像是一个空气。
所以——他想——反正我对家里也不重要，对学校更加无用，不如离开，减轻一些姐姐的工作量。
六岁的小孩想法很简单，他相信自己走了之后能省下一大笔开销，那样姐姐就不用那么辛苦了。
路过的人就好像没看到他一样，目不斜视地直走过去。对此月园清早就习惯了。
除了姐姐、弟弟、姐姐那个朋友赤井秀一和他的妈妈赤井玛丽，还没有人在第一次见面时就发现他是个人而非一团阴影。
也是因此月园清一直坚信赤井玛丽肯定不是普通人，毕竟两年前他询问对方是怎么样发现自己时，刚分娩不久的女人的回答是“呼吸”。
……正经人谁用呼吸辨别周围是否有人啊？！
正在乱七八糟地胡思乱想时，月园清忽然发现自己面前有个和自己差不多大的小孩半蹲下来。
“需要帮助嘛？”眼前的小孩招了招手，一双紫眸笑得耀眼，让月园清一时间愣住了。
“你……能看得见我？”他没头没尾地冒出这句话。
“诶？？？？？”面前的紫眸小孩吓了一大跳，“为什么要这么问呀？呜哇，难道你是鬼魂嘛！”他急急忙忙地低头查看。
月园清这才意识到自己的话好像有那么一点点引人误会，他顿了一下：“我不是……”
看到眼前男孩的影子之后，紫眸小孩终于松了口气：“吓死我啦，我还以为你是执念未了的鬼怪哦。”
月园清不好意思地笑了笑：“因为大家都说我存在感很低啦，所以很惊奇居然有人注意到我。”
“诶，居然是这样嘛？”紫眸的小男孩扬起了一个大大的微笑，“那我能和你交朋友嘛，感觉有‘不被人注意到’这样的超能力很厉害哦！”
月园清受宠若惊地睁大眼睛，想说什么，最后憋出一句：“啊，好，不过那不是什么超能力啦。”
“明明就是很厉害的特殊能力哦。”眼前耀眼的小男孩伸出手来，“我叫萩原研二，我最好的两个朋友都喜欢叫我hagi，你也可以那么叫！”
月园清拉住眼前男孩的手，对方一使劲就把他拉了起来。站直之后，月园清露出一个笑容，学着他的样子自我介绍：“我叫月园清，姐姐的朋友叫我月园，你也可以这么叫……”
他有些局促，声音越发小了，又有些不好意思，但他一个朋友也没有，没法告诉萩原研二自己朋友一般怎么称呼自己。
“可是叫姓超生疏的欸，我可以叫你清吗？”紫眸的男孩适时救场，摆出撒娇模样，“可以嘛？”
“当然！”
萩原研二忽然拍了拍他的肩膀，神秘兮兮地说：“清，你看那边，那个卷发小男孩和旁边坐着的栗发小男孩，他们就是我最好的朋友，你可以去吓他们一跳吗？”
“……嗯？”月园清从没有想过自己的存在感还能这么用，“我试试？”
卷发小男孩正在专心地修一个机械，一旁的栗发小男孩在给他递工具，两个人都是顶级的池面，虽然小时候还未长开，但已经可以窥见未来两人会怎样受女孩们欢迎了。
这不，现在他们周围就围了一圈男孩女孩，有的被机械拆装吸引，有的纯粹是想看他们的脸。
月园清有些忐忑又跃跃欲试地走进一圈观摩的人当中，蹲坐下来，然后猛然出声：“同学你好——”
“呜啊这里居然还坐着一个人！”
“什么时候坐过来的，完全没有注意到欸！”
月园清旁边蹲着围观的小男孩直接坐倒在地。倒是离他最近的卷发男孩修理机械的手都没有抖一下，略带无语地说：“他是刚刚过来的呀，你们怎么都没有感觉到啊，也太逊了吧。”
“诶——松田君——”
卷发小孩似乎很毒舌，引起他注意的小孩最后都捂着碎成渣的自尊心幽幽离开。月园清本来看戏看得乐呵，一旁栗发的小孩扯了扯他：“好厉害欸，你是忍者吗？你也是黑乌鸦专门训练出来的吗？”
月园清茫然片刻，那小孩好像立刻读懂了他的心理，笑了一下：“抱歉抱歉我随口乱说的啦。刚刚hagi和你成为了好朋友是不是？那我也要！我是时庭柊，阵平总是喜欢叫我toki，你也可以这么叫的。你好呀清！哦对了，这个是松田阵平啦，别看他现在毒舌得要命，其实人超级好的！”
月园清有些愕然，他不知道时庭柊是怎么知道他和萩原研二的谈话内容的，距离那么远根本不可以听清的呀，总不能这孩子还会读心吧。
但他还是没有提出自己的疑问，只是露出了微笑：“你好toki，我是月园清。松田君你好……”
松田阵平撇了撇嘴：“不是朋友嘛，不要叫得文绉绉的，叫松田或者阵平都可以啦。”
他把手中的模型往前推了推：“要一起玩吗？”
旁边有刚被松田阵平嫌弃“连最简单的模型都拼不起来”的男孩子做了个鬼脸，冲着月园清说：“和他玩吗？他会很嫌弃你笨的哦，那个家伙性格一点都不好的，还有时那家伙，也是个怪胎。也就萩原君脾气好，忍得了他们。”
平时他们都不会看松田阵平拆卸拼装模型的，也就是萩原研二在旁边会打圆场，而且松田阵平的动作确实足够利落好看，他们才会好奇地聚集过来欣赏。
结果萩原研二不过离开了一会会儿，这家伙就用一贯的扎心话语把围观人群驱赶走了。
月园清不知所措地眨眨眼，说话的男孩不耐烦地“切”了一声，转头跑走了。
他愣了一下，慢吞吞地低头去看模型。
他的三弟月原亮尤其喜欢这些，方才三岁多的小团子就可以有模有样地拆家里的东西了，虽然从来拼不回去就是了。家里只有姐姐打工支撑家用，经不起每次都买新电器家具，同样也没有足够的钱每次都找人修理，身为懂事的老二，他无师自通了组装电器的技能。也是因此，虽然拆卸的能力一般，但是月园清很会把拆开的东西拼回去。
而松田阵平，月园清在对方身上敏锐地嗅到了和自家弟弟一样不让人省心的拆家小能手的味道。
——有点熟悉的感觉。
他蹲下来，三两下把松田阵平拆开的模型复原了，速度快要赶上对方拆东西的速度。
在后边跟着的萩原研二：！
他仿佛抓住了救命稻草一般惊喜：“哇哦，清酱很擅长拼装欸！就和小阵平擅长拆卸一样！走走走有救了，今天不会被老姐打屁股了！”
旁边的时庭柊脸上瞬间绽开了超级无敌灿烂的微笑，连松田阵平眼神中都露出了喜悦。
紫眸的小男孩满怀希望地询问：“清，你一定可以把拆开的微波炉拼回去的对吧！”
月园清：......？
什么，你们这是把家里的微波炉给拆了吗？
月园清久违地思考了一下自己走之后姐姐那边会不会有问题，当然不是他自以为是地认为姐姐会来找他或是因为他的离开而焦急悲伤。他思考的理由很简单：
——他的弟弟月原亮，再过三年是不是也会和眼前的卷发男孩一样把家里微波炉给拆了啊！
月园清为自家只会摆弄电脑程序，对机械构造一窍不通，连看着说明书装雾化器都做不到的姐姐，短暂地为对方默哀片刻。
However, after no longer having to pay for his food and tuition, the sister should have enough money to find the cheapest repairman to fix the home appliances that were dismantled by her brother.
As Hagiwara Kenji dragged him toward Hagiwara's house, the lively little boy with purple eyes jumped up and down excitedly and said, "Ever since Uncle Matsuda found a brother for Jinpei-chan, I've really wanted to find a brother too! Can you come to my house and be my brother?"
Yue Yuanqing was greatly shocked.
Were all your brothers adopted?
Let me explain to a six-year-old here that people run away from home because they subconsciously sense some danger ()
After all, children are like kittens, and some of their intuition is really accurate (who knows, my sister has helped me avoid danger four times, the most recent one was when my mother wanted to take the whole family to Beijing for a trip five days ago, but my sister refused to let her go.
