Chapter 116: Shinso Occasion

The shout mixed with Furuya Rei's anger was not received by Shinsou.

The woman just stopped poking the wall as if she had sensed something. She tilted her head slightly to the outside, her hair flying back, revealing half of her bloodless face.

As Furuya Rei approached, her fingertips pressed hard against the wall, turning bluish-white, and her muscles involuntarily tensed up, like a wild cat ready to attack at any time.

But no, until Furiya Rei walked in front of her and half-knelt down, Shinsou did not make any move.

She just pursed her lips and looked in the direction of Furuya Rei with her increasingly misty black eyes, but her sight was like a flying bird passing over him and landing in some unknown darkness.

Shinsou's eyelashes are very long, and when they blink restlessly they look like the wings of a butterfly flapping its wings about to take off. Like his white hair, even his eyelashes have turned the color of falling snow. Combined with his already fair skin, he looks more like a demon from the snow.

Furiya Rei had never seen her so fragile and helpless before, or maybe Shinsou's strong and calm image had formed a stereotyped reaction in his mind, so that at this moment he felt that the other party always took everything into consideration.

He didn't know what was going on with her, so he just called out "Shenso" softly again.

"Not... Gin?" As if she felt the change in air flow, the woman frowned and spoke somewhat awkwardly. She raised her hand accurately and touched upwards again.

Furugaya Rei did not hide. He closed his eyes to prevent Shinsou's hand from poking his eyes. He felt the cold fingers carefully tracing his appearance and patiently maintained one movement without moving.

Shinsuo's movements were very gentle, without the force with which she pinched his face before, as if she had used up all her strength just to raise her hand, but her gray eyes gradually brightened.

Fūya Rei felt his face itchy and burning where it was touched.

After a while, Shensuo called out firmly, "Bourbon."

"Yes, it's me." Furiya Rei responded softly, without showing much emotion.

After he came in, he found that this room was under surveillance. He didn't know whether there was any recording equipment, but he still had to be cautious.

Although Furuya Rei had countless questions in his mind, he couldn't rush in this situation.

After Shinsou called his name, he was silent for a moment, then lifted his hair to reveal the marks on his ears.

It was an earmuff with a soft surface that covered her right ear and also wrapped the other ear properly through her fine hair.

Fūya Rei's hand trembled, and he almost lost his balance and fell to the ground. His pupils suddenly contracted, and all the abnormalities came into his mind in an instant.

No wonder Shinsou didn't turn around when he heard the loud sound of the door opening just now; no wonder Shinsou didn't respond to him even though he called him several times and remembered his voice after all these years, until he touched his face and confirmed his identity.

No wonder...she behaves so strangely.

She didn't hear the sounds at all. She only realized someone came in because she felt the air flow or other slight vibrations. She even thought he was Gin at first.

Shensuo is blind, and he wants to make a person in the dark lose all sense of sound and be trapped in this small room. What a vicious idea!

If Chiyodani Toru knew... he would hate me to death, right?

Hate him for not saying anything, hate him for not doing anything.

Fūya Rei felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, wishing he could just grab Shinsou's arm and take her out of this damn place.

But he couldn't, even in this situation, he still had to maintain his cold nature and distance himself from Shensuo.

Until now, Rei Furuya still cannot understand why the organization would target Shinsou so much.

It was just as they said, that she was no longer of any value, but the organization still wanted to trap her and torture her in various ways, as if they could vent their anger.

Angry?

The blond young man was startled for a moment by the idea that came to his mind.

It seems to be like this, whether it is Gin or Granmani, their attitude towards Shinsou is particularly aggrieved, and they are in a situation where they want to kill him but cannot; and the same is true for the BOSS, it doesn’t matter about Shinsou’s situation, but she absolutely cannot die.

If it was to seduce Shirley, then there wouldn't be such an early move, so there must be other reasons...

Does Shinsou still have leverage over any other organization? How on earth does she keep so many people under control?

Is the organization treating her like this because they want to get this "secret"?

Furiya Rei pursed his lips tightly and knelt on the ground. He took out the button key that Gin had thrown to him from his pocket, and threw the key out with a panic that he was not even aware of.

The small button key fell on the pure white ground and was particularly conspicuous. Furi Rei quickly picked it up and held it in the palm of his hand. He moved closer to Shinsou and his palm lightly touched the other's hair and skin.

"Sorry." Not knowing why he should apologize, Rei Furuya quickly pulled off the earmuffs. He awkwardly grabbed Shinsou's hand and covered her ears with it.

The woman's eyes widened for a moment, as if she had not expected his action. Even her calm face showed obvious surprise. She subconsciously moved back, but then she realized there was a wall behind her.

The eyelashes fluttered restlessly once again, but soon calmed down after sensing that it was Bourbon in front of him.

Fūya Rei only felt that Shinsou's hand was cool and soft, which made his heart beat wildly. He raised his head slightly and whispered, "Sorry, it's better not to listen to such loud noises all at once."

The surprise on Shinsou's face disappeared. She sighed, pulled Furuya Rei's hand away, and said gently, "I'm fine. I'm in good spirits. Don't think too much."

"Ah, oh..." The blond young man withdrew his hand according to her strength, but he was still a little worried about Shensuo's mental state.

It has been two months since Shirley defected. She didn't know how long she had been here. If she could only see Gin and his people briefly, then Shinsou would have to face darkness and silence in most cases.

For a while, Furuya Reiichi was somewhat thankful that her frequent drowsiness could relieve her mental stress to some extent.

"I didn't expect you would actually come." Shensuo stroked his hair and said "actually", but there was no surprise on his expression.

"You called me over here. Do you have something to say?" Furukaya Rei looked at the time and found that ten minutes had passed.

He didn't know what Shinsou wanted to tell him, but the scandal of Gin and the others pressing his head against him allowed him to get close to Shinsou openly.

Furiya Rei was inexplicably nervous. He leaned forward slightly and made a more natural listening movement, but looking at Shinsou's face that was 80% similar to Chiyodani Toru, his gaze drifted to the wall next to him.

Shensuo: “…”

Shinsou covered his lips and coughed twice. His other hand accurately supported Furiya Rei's shoulders, pushed him upright, and said expressionlessly, "How long can you stay here?"

"Twenty-three minutes." Fūya Rei gave a very accurate time.

Shinsou closed his eyes, leaned against the snow-white wall, and said in a neutral voice: "I just want to see you, Bourbon."

Fūya Rei responded subconsciously, and his mind began to frantically think about what this sentence meant, but no matter how he interpreted it, this sentence seemed to have only a literal meaning.

Why did Shensuo suddenly want to see him?

Is there anything special about him?

Rei Furuya began to think about the identity he had exposed to Shinsou: he was an undercover agent sent by the Public Security Bureau, a member of the intelligence team, Rum's right-hand man, the target of half of Shinsou's scandal, and - a classmate and good friend of Toru Chiyodani.

If Shinsou wanted to ask the police for help, he would have had countless opportunities, but she obviously didn't want his help; and as for the information on the organization, Furuya Rei didn't have much to say; as for the so-called feelings, it was even more fictitious, so what was the possible reason - Chiyodani Toru?

Shinsou suddenly came to him, was it because of Toru?

"Bourbon, can you sing?"

Furiya Rei was just thinking about why Shinsou came to him, when he suddenly heard the man in front of him speak. He said in confusion, "Ah?"

"Just sing something."

Shinsou leaned against the wall, tilting her head slightly. A strand of unkempt hair on her forehead fell along her cheek and touched her lips, but she was too lazy to brush it away with her hands. She seemed too tired to even open her eyes. If she hadn't been talking, Furugaya Rei would have thought she had fallen asleep again.

"Sing...?" the blond man repeated blankly.

Speaking of singing, it seems that after graduation, this kind of thing has not appeared in his daily life. If he is asked to sing now, Furuya Reiichi can't think of what to sing for a while.

"Well," Shinsou said patiently, "It's okay if you don't sing."

Fūya Rei opened his mouth and suddenly felt annoyed by his silence. Shinsou had been in this place for so long and was almost driven crazy by the quiet environment, and he finally came in but didn't say a word.

Feeling guilty, Furuya Rei began to sing with some hesitation: "In the sky of late spring in March..."

He was singing a nursery rhyme that depicted a beautiful scene of cherry blossoms like raindrops and a clear blue sky, which made people feel better involuntarily when listening to it.

The nursery rhymes are short, but they are connected from beginning to end, and he can continue singing them as long as he likes.

For a moment, the only sound in the small space was the man's low and gentle voice. Shensuo leaned against the wall, seemingly listening very attentively, without making any unnecessary movements.

Gin sat in the monitoring room and watched all this, the flame of the cigarette in his hand flickering. Vermouth stood behind him, leaning on the back of his chair and chuckling: "I didn't expect these two to have the taste of a miserable couple. Gin, now you believe what Shinsou wants to do with Bourbon, right?"

The silver-haired man held the cigarette in his mouth and commented vaguely: "Bourbon had no intention of asking her questions at all. He is so indecisive."

“Well, don’t be so heartless.” Vermouth rested her chin on Gin’s shoulder, and when he glared at her, she raised her chin slightly and said with a smile, “After all, it was you who pushed Shinsou over there yourself. What’s wrong? Are you jealous?”

The silver-haired killer said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense!"

He looked at the screen again, trying to find any signs of excessive communication between the two.

Regarding Shirley's defection, he suspected Bourbon more than Shinsou, but Bourbon had a perfect alibi, and with his ability, it was impossible for Rum to be investigated by Gin.

Gin didn't believe that Shinsou asked Bourbon to come just to listen to him sing. The fact that this woman had stayed in this room for such a long time and still remained calm and rational was enough to prove that she was not as weak as she appeared.

Because of Granmani and Shirley, the gentleman would not allow Shinso to die, but at the same time, he still hoped to get the exact location of the data stolen by Gibson from Shinso.

Chiyodani Yui's hypnosis skills are really high. Before Shinsou's mental defenses are completely destroyed, even brainwashing drugs will not work.

so……

What exactly does Shinsou want to do by looking for Bourbon?

291.

[How long will it take…]

[Ten minutes, dear.] The cute customer service staff ate potato chips and pointed, [Why does Furuya Rei sing like Matsuda Jinpei.]

Chiyoya Saori: [Maybe he was nervous. Logically speaking, Zero should sing better than Matsuda.]

Customer Service: [Oh~ You really understand~]

Chiyotani Saori snorted in her heart: [Call me in five minutes. ]

Customer Service: [So why didn’t you say it earlier? Why did you have to wait until the last minute? ]

Chiyoya Saori: [Who knew Gin would give him half an hour? If I had told him the information earlier, Zero would have asked me for more information, either openly or secretly, given his personality.]

[If I say too much, I'll be exposed. Today I just want to be an anonymous Lei Feng for once! ]

The cute customer service showed half-moon eyes: [As long as you are happy... When are you going to run away? This room is really boring! ]

Chiyotani Saori thought: [Anyway, I can just use the puppet to hang up, as for letting Shinsou run away... I have to send Zero out first, so that the organization won't suspect him.]

I have to say that Furuya Rei's voice is still great. He can sing the same nursery rhyme over and over again without getting tired of it. Chiyoya Saori was chatting with the customer service while listening to it, which was quite refreshing.

But soon, the singing voice faltered and a wrong note was sung.

Chiyoya Saori was very skilled at pretending to be blind. She didn't even close her eyes, but just made a sound to prove that she was not asleep.

But before she could wait for Rei Furuya's explanation, the other party suddenly fell silent.

Chiyotani Saori: “?”

What is he doing?

Customer Service: [I don’t know. His expression is very strange. It’s probably 30% tangled, 30% sad, 30% unbelievable, and 10% hesitant.]

Chiyotani Saori: [? Is this human language?]

Customer Service: [You can also call the machine language. 】

God damn machine language!

Chiyotani Saori could hardly suppress her curiosity and looked over, but considering the sharp gazes of killers like Furuya Rei, she was not sure whether she would be discovered.

She patiently continued to wait, and after waiting for a long time, she heard Fūya Rei silently call out "Shinso".

"Um?"

"What... are you thinking about?" Furiya Rei's voice sounded a little hoarse, and the emotions contained in it were particularly complicated.

Chiyoya Saori said: "I'm not thinking about anything. Are you tired of singing?"

"No." Fūya Ling sighed, "I just think it's a bit weird that you asked me to come here just to sing."

"The voice is quite nice."

"……Thank you."

There was a lump in Fūya Rei's throat, and he couldn't utter any other words for a long time.

He saw his own appearance in Shinsou's misty eyes, a blond man dressed in black, kneeling upright in the white room. His short blond hair turned dark under the influence of the light, like the god of death who was about to reap lives.

He was not singing with full concentration just now, as he was still thinking about many things. As he was thinking, he remembered the conversation they had with Jinpei Matsuda in the cafe after the Shinkansen accident.

The curly-haired classmate looked distressed and depressed, and whispered to them: "I suspect that woman mistook me for Toru."

"What? I'm nothing like him."

It's just that he hadn't seen him for too long, and he trusted his brother's sense of justice and ability to act too much, so at the moment the bomb was about to explode, Shinsou rushed over without hesitation to cut the fuse, treating Matsuda Jinpei as a lesson for his careless brother.

Later, she met Jinpei Matsuda again in the cafe. Even though Shinsou found out the truth that Matsuda was not Chiyodani Toru through pinching her face and testing, she did not show any disappointment, as if admitting her mistake had no effect on her.

Later... when he recalled the scene two months ago when he was forced by Shinsou to call her sister, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed through Fūya Rei's mind.

An idea came to his mind that made him shudder.

Why did Shensuo suddenly call him over and do nothing but listen to him talk and sing?

Furutani Rei stopped humming and focused on Shensou again. The other person was sitting against the wall. Except for a hint of red on his lips, his whole body was so pale that he seemed to blend into the wallpaper.

Her snow-white hair was scattered on her shoulders, and she looked like a lifeless snow lotus that was about to wither and die at any moment.

Maybe... this wasn't just his illusion.

Furiya Rei dug his nails into his palms tightly. He suppressed his suddenly intense emotions and buried all his thoughts deep in his heart. Only his purple-gray eyes reflected the surging sea.

She just wanted to hear his voice, no - she just wanted to hear the voice of her "brother".

Shinsou didn't have the courage to meet Chiyodani Toru, and naturally had never heard him call her sister. So, Furuya Rei, a classmate who had a good relationship with Chiyodani Toru and the only one who could get close to her, became the only person she could reach.

Does he have a nice voice?

This was the first time in Rei Furuya's life that he had heard such praise.

"Do you... still want to listen?" He said in a hoarse voice, "There are still eight minutes left."

Shinsuo chuckled softly, "Forget it, don't make your voice hoarse."

Fūya Rei responded muffledly, somewhat confused about what he should do.

He was very confused at this moment. He was unable to take Shinsou away from the organization and could only watch her go to destruction. The feeling of suffocating him made him feel suffocated. When he thought of Chiyodani Toru who knew nothing about this, even Furuya Rei's fingers started to tremble.

How should he tell Toru about this?

That he didn't save his sister and even watched her die?

The room suddenly became quiet, and only the sound of light and heavy breathing could be heard. The remaining eight minutes became extremely long, and the sticky smell blocked the air and made it hard to breathe.

After a while, Furuya Ling asked, "Have you decided?"

The slender woman didn't move, but her eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she agreed to something.

In an instant, Fūya Reiichi lost all his strength. He lowered his head and felt a clear, sour and cramping pain in his heart.

Chiyoya Saori just didn't react, she was still a little confused: [What have I decided? What is Furuya Rei thinking? ]

Customer Service: [How do I know? ]

Chiyoya Saori thought: [Is it me who decided not to let him continue singing? Is Zero really unwilling to accept his singing even though he has become hoarse? But Matsuda Jinpei howled all night last time and still had a lot of energy.]

The Q version of the customer service was also confused: [People's physical conditions cannot be generalized. He looked very sad. Maybe he thought you looked ugly after bleaching your skin? ]

Chiyotani Saori was distracted by this: [Bullshit, white hair is the best! ] The highlight value of voting increased by 15% in the month when Shinsuo became white!

The customer service representative humphed at her: "You're swearing again."

Chiyotani Saori: [Damn it... Never mind, I'm just happy! ]

The customer service felt that this host was almost becoming a social person by spamming the forum, and suddenly felt very sad. It said: [You might as well coax your peers. Look at them being dragged here by you for no reason and chatted for half an hour. ]

Chiyoya Saori: [I thought Gin would only give him five minutes at most! ]

She had already drafted out how to finish the speech in a timely manner without letting Fūya Rei ask too many questions, but Gin just waved his hand and gave her time as if it was free.

Isn't he afraid that Shensuo and Bourbon will collude with each other to change the script?

Oh yeah, this guy is probably still watching the surveillance secretly behind the scenes.

Chiyoya Saori: [Forget it, I didn't say much anyway, and Zero couldn't think of anything... You decide on the time, I'll memorize the lines first.]

Customer Service: [Hey, woman. Is it okay for you to think of me now? ]

292.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Furuya Reiichi didn't know what to say for a moment.

Although the organization knew about the existence of Toru Chiyodani, Bourbon was not familiar with him. As for other things... no matter whether it was Shirley, Shuichi Akai, or Gin, no one who had anything to do with Shinsou seemed to have brought her any benefits. They were all sharp blades that stabbed her and left her covered in wounds.

He just waited quietly for time to pass, wanting to memorize Shinsou's appearance carefully in his mind.

Everyone teased him that he still looked so young even though he was nearly thirty years old. In fact, the ones whose appearance had hardly changed were the Chiyodani siblings. Whether it was Shinsou or Chiyodani Toru, time seemed to have stopped for them and they were treated with special favor.

But compared to Chiyodani Toru who was running around outside, Shinsou looked more delicate and pale, and also looked much smaller.

Anyway... this is probably their last chance to meet.

Rei Furuya felt the depression and self-mockery surging in his heart, and felt like a prisoner waiting for the death penalty.

Suddenly, Shinsou called him, in an exceptionally soft voice.

"Bourbon."

Furiya Rei came back to his senses and subconsciously gave a Bourbon smile: "What's wrong?"

Shensuo coughed lightly and rubbed her cheeks, and a faint blush appeared on her pale face.

Then, before Rei Furuya could react at all, the woman reached out her hands, put them on his shoulders, and hugged him.

This embrace with a cold medicinal smell pinned Furiya Rei to the spot. His purple-grey eyes widened, and he could only hear the crackling sound of malfunctioning parts in his mind.

Shinsou was very close to him, so close that he could see a small mole on the back of her neck.

Fūya Rei felt like he had crashed.

Shinsou whispered in his ear: "Hold me, there are surveillance and listening equipment here."

Fūya Rei mechanically raised his hands and wrapped them around her thin body. He paused for two seconds before saying with difficulty, "What do you want to do?"

He couldn't see Shensuo's expression at this moment, he only felt that the other party's body was trembling slightly, as if he was crying.

But there was nothing at all. Shinsou's voice was unusually calm and clear, and she gave a coordinate.

Fūya Rei unconsciously lowered his head and leaned on her shoulder to hide his surprised expression.

"Well, this location has information about...; the undercover agents in the organization that you can try to contact are..."

She spoke very quickly, as if she had already thought about what to say. Furuya Rei patted her back subconsciously and whispered "Don't cry", but in fact he was using all his attention to remember what Shinsou said.

As time passed, Shinsou's voice became weaker and weaker, as if such a high-intensity way of speaking was draining her life, leaving her without even the strength to raise her head.

Fūya Rei unconsciously hugged the person tightly, her heart filled with shock and confusion at the comprehensive information. The information Shinsou told her covered most of the content needed by the public security in the near future, and even included some long-standing secrets and intelligence from undercover agents in other countries. She seemed to want to hand over all the information at once, and was so determined that she left no way out.

Gradually, he felt a little wet on his back, and Shinsou's voice became hoarse. Furiya Rei suddenly felt panic in his heart, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Don't say anything."

Shinsou coughed a few times and reported the location where the data of the last intelligence was stored in the form of coordinates.

"Beep, countdown thirty seconds." A cold mechanical sound rang out from the top.

Furukaya Rei helped Shinsou up and found that his face was covered with tears. His misty eyes were shining with an especially warm light. She put on a smile that could almost be called brilliant: "Toru-kun, thank you for being willing to accompany me for a while."

She behaves like a woman who has an emotional breakdown in front of her lover, but is easily satisfied after being comforted.

Only then did Furiya Rei understand what Vermode meant when he said that Shinsou had great acting skills.

He borrowed this precious script to show a rare smile that was uglier than crying, but still said with restraint: "Shinso, there may not be such an opportunity next time."

"After all, the organization has a lot of things to do. I can't come here to see you often. If you have any information about Shirley, you should report it to the organization as soon as possible."

The smile on Shinsou's face faded a little, but he still responded obediently: "If I really knew."

"Beep, countdown to ten seconds."

Furukaya Rei stood up with the help of the wall. He had been kneeling for nearly thirty minutes and his legs were so numb that they almost didn't belong to him.

Looking down at Shensuo from such a close distance, he realized why he had been hiding in this small corner. His slender, pale ankles were fastened with thin chains, and the distance was not even enough for him to walk across half the room.

Shinsou seemed to sense his movements and looked up at him: "Goodbye."

"Beep, five seconds left, Bourbon, please leave as soon as possible."

Fūya Rei slightly bent down and looked into her eyes, in which there was a ferocious self.

He could barely hold back his sobs and said softly, "Goodbye."

Never see you again.

"Beep, three seconds left, Bourbon, please leave as soon as possible."

"Can you... call me sister again?" The very soft voice was almost covered by the electronic sound.

His heart contracted and throbbed for a moment, making him a little unsteady. Furiya Rei lowered his head and kissed her forehead in an almost pious manner.

"elder sister……"

This voice was shouted by Chiyodani Toru.
