Holding Glok tightly in your hand, you peer out through the cracks in the bricks.

The enemy is in the dark, and although the streets are narrow, there are not many places to hide. Now the enemy has also turned off the engine, and seems to be quietly waiting for you to show up again.

“…”

What should I do... You pursed your lips in thought.

"Let's not go through the street, let's go through this empty house. The buildings nearby are not tall and there are no suitable positions. I guess they don't have snipers. If you go this way, they will show up and chase you. I can cover you." Amuro Toru said in a deep voice, "You walk in front with the data, pay attention to running to the left front and right front, and alternate your movements with each other." He ordered.

"..." You turned around and looked at the empty house. Are you going to walk through here?

At that time, Toru Amuro only allowed you to check the data of areas one, two and three, but just in case, you actually also collected the data of areas four and five in private.

District 5 is famous for its complicated location. Many alleys are dead ends and many locals get lost. If you go through here and then walk...

"There's a big sign there. Find a way to get there and the parking lot is right under it," said Toru Amuro.

“…Okay.” There is no better way at the moment, so you can only nod in agreement.

I hope Toru Amuro is really protecting you... instead of stabbing you in the back.

Jingguang once told you that there is a very important difference between members with code names and those without code names. If a member with a code name dies, there will be accountability.

This means that in your current uncoded assessment status, the cause of death will generally not be investigated.

I don't think Furuya Rei would do that... You pray silently in your heart.

Before you lower your body and prepare to rush over, you suddenly think of something else - although you have checked in advance, Toru Amuro doesn't know the complicated road conditions in District 5.

“……”That’s terrible.

Now you are worried about the other person's safety again.

In a flash of thought, you have already reached out and handed your gun to Amuro Toru.

“……?” Amuro Toru was slightly stunned.

"…Here you go." You tilted your head and said, "If I'm in the front, I won't need this. You're behind, and you'll be using up a lot of bullets, so take my gun and use it."

The situation in Area 5 might turn this retreat into a protracted battle, and Furuya Reiichi, who is in the rear and directly attacking the enemy, does not have enough guns. You decided to give him your Glock.

Even though it's your only weapon.

"..." Amuro locked his eyes on you for a few seconds with his purple-gray eyes, then took your gun and put it in his trouser pocket without saying anything. "Let's go." He raised his head slightly to point to the front and smiled, "--I'll be behind you."

You learned obstacle course parkour in the underground, but this is your first time practicing it. A moderate amount of tension can really help you perform better. When you rushed out, gunshots rang out from behind you, but you still quickly climbed through the window and crossed the obstacle to the other side of the street, with the braid at the end of your hair drawing a shallow arc in the air.

The information you have read before has pieced together a simple route map in your mind. At this time, you don’t have time to sigh that your spatial imagination is quite good. You just turn directly towards the nearest route outlined.

After using obstacles on the street to move around several times, you hid at the corner of the alley again. After a few gunshots, Toru Amuro also flashed to your side.

"I just shot a few guys in front of me, but they are still biting hard." He said, "Split up. You turn right and I'll go left."

"..." You glanced to the right. It was an elementary school. The school had already finished classes at this time, but there were still three children standing at the school gate, preparing to cross the road.

You showed a hesitant look on your face. If it was a desperado, they might not care about accidental injuries, after all, they were already chasing you openly on the street. If you go that way now, those children who are about to cross the road——

"...I'll leave later." You finally whispered, "You go first, don't worry about me." Then you handed the computer bag containing the folder to the other person.

"..." His purple-grey eyes turned to you, "What do you mean?"

"..." Logically, the people at the winery shouldn't care about this, but since Furuya Rei is a policeman, maybe saying this would be a plus point -

“I’ll wait until those kids pass by before I kidnap them.” Your hands scratched the wall unconsciously. “And the documents… I don’t know if I can make it to the parking lot, so I’ll just give you the documents.”

And to avoid having to shake off the enemy, only to have a police officer show up to steal the documents and then become the scapegoat. Your cordon is always raised, and all the possibilities are circling in your mind.

But you didn't say the second half of the sentence, you only mentioned the first half, making yourself appear to be a kind-hearted guy.

“…”

You half lowered your head and didn't look at him, and the next moment he suddenly pulled you - the bullet grazed your cheek, bringing a burning pain, and exploded with a whoosh where you were standing.

"!!!" Your pupils suddenly contracted and you staggered a few steps.

There were a few more short gunshots, and the opponent reacted quickly and dragged you to squat under the cover. Behind the narrow cover, you almost stuck to him. You just came back to your senses from the brink of death, and you still couldn't help shaking. In your ears was the deep, steady and strong heartbeat of Amuro Toru.

A bloody smell wafted through your nose, and you looked up to see red blood flowing down his left arm.

"you……"

"It's a minor injury and won't affect your movements." Amuro Toru said in a calm tone.

"Hu..." You try to breathe evenly to calm your trembling body.

"Hey," Amuro Toru's voice rang out overhead, with a hint of an ambiguous smile, "If you're so scared..." He raised the hand holding the gun, "...why did you come here?"

"..." You replied in a muffled voice, "...It's not like I can come and go as I please."

——If you could, you would also like to just get up at 7 o'clock in the morning and go to the store on time. Every day is just a simple joke with Matsuda, telling stories to Jingguang, occasionally teasing Conan, and complaining about the price of vegetables while not forgetting to pack more snacks.

Instead of the life we ​​have now - a life where we are always on the verge of death, where we have to fight with our wits and courage, be wary of those around us, and even live a life that goes against our will.

Your mood dropped and you pursed your lips.

"..." After two or three seconds, he spoke, "...Since you can't choose, just adapt." Amuro Toru said, stuffing the Glock back into your hand, "Just a reminder, don't let the weapon go easily in the future - under any circumstances."

He quickly changed the magazine and loaded the gun: "Change the plan, let's go to the left together."

"Your arm is injured." You hold G//Lock tight, your muscles tense, "I'll cover you."

Amuro Toru chuckled: "Okay."

Even facing such a pursuit scene, Toru Amuro still appeared very calm. He skillfully pushed you, allowing you to take a few steps to the blind spot on the other side of the alley corner.

At the moment of turning, you turned around and raised your gun, and the Glock accurately shot the thigh of the nearest pursuer. Amuro Toru took advantage of this gap to leap forward a few steps and quickly turned to your side.

He leads you through the empty streets of District 5. It seems chaotic and disorderly, but you can feel that this is the shortest way after getting the information in advance.

"..." The other party seems to have seen the data of District 5 in advance. You thought to yourself. Was it provided by the public security department...?

There were gunshots from behind, different from the previous ones. Amuro Toru led you over a low wall again and said before you could say anything, "Tsk, it must be the public security. Let them fight each other, and we can relax a little."

"..." You twitched your lips. How cruel! He directly called one of his own people a dog.

But you do feel relieved.

It looks like I have finally...finally escaped from the life-and-death crisis.

When you see the parking lot sign, you are almost moved to tears. Missing three meals, intense exercise, and nervousness make you black out when you open the car door, and you almost hit the car frame.

"What's wrong?" Amuro Toru noticed it very keenly.

He was treating the wound simply with the medical kit in the car.

“…Nothing.” You quickly got into the car and closed the door. “I haven’t eaten all day. I feel a little dizzy.”

"You haven't eaten anything?"

"Because they are either solving cases or searching for information." You looked over with a resentful look. Don't you know why the examiner is so black-hearted?

Amuro Toru curled his lips: "Okay," he threw the bag on the passenger seat to you, "There's also a hot dog, it's cold, if you don't mind, you can use it to fill your stomach."

"I'm starving. I'll eat whatever I can get." You can't wait to open the candy bar and start swallowing. "I also want some Meiji dark chocolate... I'll buy some when I get home."

You chewed: "Oh, by the way, should I delete the surveillance video of District 5 now--"

"No need, I've reported it to the organization and someone will take care of it." Amuro Toru put down his phone, "Thank you for walking around the streets, technician-san."

“So I passed the test?” You perked up instantly.

"Oh? What a pity... I don't meet the criteria."

"Cough, cough, cough..." You choked on a mouthful of bread and almost choked to death.

"Just kidding," Amuro Toru looked at you with a smile in the rearview mirror, "You passed." He handed you the cup, "Here, drink some water slowly."

You reached for the cup and took a few sips of water before swallowing the bread: "...Thank you."

Although the subsequent delivery of water is very considerate, this kind of scary behavior is really bad. You half-mooned your eyes, and then remembered, "Oh, we completed the mission, right? We got the documents."

Amuro Toru said: "Well... this document is basically invalid after the other party reneged and the public security intervened. However, it is still worth taking it back."

“…Oh.” As long as it’s not your own pot, it’s fine. You finally relax.

Leaning back in your chair, you replay it all in your mind.

If Toru Amuro already had the information, then... what he kept collecting and searching for was probably all useless information.

Is the purpose to make you have no time to check other things? You think. For example... data of the fifth area, you know this, or it is because the other party underestimated your cracking speed, leaving you with free time to check a section more.

So he was planning to trick himself, although I don't know how. But he changed his mind in the end - maybe it was because the other party betrayed him...? You are so angry. This gave the mission a more suitable scapegoat.

My body, which had finally relaxed, half sank into the soft back of the chair. I gradually felt sleepy and my eyelids kept fighting each other.

It is already half dark, the last rays of the setting sun are shining on the horizon, and street lights are gradually lighting up.

Ah... you thought in a daze. Why am I so sleepy...

Forget it...it's all over now - taking a nap...that should be ok, right?

You close your eyes as you wish.

The world fell into darkness.
