175.
The pulleys of the hospital bed made rapid rumbling sounds on the smooth ground, like drumbeats on people's hearts.
The hospital environment was very noisy. The sharp cries of children and people's sighs could be heard from time to time, making it impossible for anyone to fall asleep except for those who were in a coma.
Chiyogaya Hayato closed her eyes and pretended to be dead, feeling herself being pushed into the operating room, with some emotion in her heart.
[This is also the first time I’ve been awake in the ICU.]
The cute customer service complained to her: [This doesn’t seem to be something to be happy about. ]
Chiyoya Saori was watching the forum consciously at the moment. She took painkillers and was given another layer of anesthesia, so she could hardly feel the existence of her shoulder.
"Indeed, if Officer Hazuka hadn't been here, it would have been much harder to get away with it." She said, "So sometimes, I still feel quite sorry for him."
Seeing the child he wanted to take care of go through life and death, experience crises and be hospitalized time and time again, while he could only help to clean up the mess. An ordinary parent would have probably collapsed.
Unfortunately, it was impossible for Chiyoya Saori to tell him about the existence of the forum, let alone tell him directly that she was dead and was trying to save herself.
That's too outrageous...
She can only hope that after everything is over, she will have a chance to apologize to Officer Hazuka, as she truly regards this elder as a family member.
After silently apologizing to the reliable elder and giving him a thumbs up, Chiyoya Saori took a deep breath in her consciousness and even dared not to open the comic interface.
The expressions of Furukaya Rei and others when they rushed up were too terrifying, which made her feel really uneasy. Especially in her anger and anxiety, she also keenly sensed regret.
But what is there to regret? It can't be because of such a small matter as separating from her at the beginning...?
Thinking this in her mind, she still honestly swiped over the comic button and clicked on her personal information first.
Name: Chiyotani Hayori/Chiyotani Toru
Age:21
Current status: Pseudo-survival (battle damage value 47%)
Achievement: Unlocked
Title: [Two-level reversal]
Specular value: 9127
The wounds that had just healed were now fully inflicted again, and the battle damage value soared to a level that was about to exceed half. Chiyotani Saori began to silently calculate to what extent she had to redeem it this time in order to be just right.
Gin has been hooked. She has no way of predicting when the next plot point will come, but she knows that with the organization's mobilization capabilities, it won't be too late.
Seeing her lost in thought, the Q version customer service staff thought she was curious about why the gunshot wound would bring such serious consequences, so they said: "Dear, although you took painkillers, the excessive blood loss has caused your whole body's condition to deteriorate. If you delay for a little longer, it will exceed the 50% mark. 】
What will be the impact?
Chiyoya Saori saw it smiling so frivolously that she couldn't help but feel itchy and wanted to give it a beating.
She can now calmly accept the customer service's style of speaking out, and even says that it is a good thing that she was told the consequences before the rate exceeded 50% this time.
Q version customer service: [It’s not a big problem. Even if the battle damage is eliminated on the spot, the debuff stiffness will still last for a few days. ]
Chiyoya Sawa understood. What this meant was that the existing debuff would disappear as the battle damage value decreased, and would remain if it exceeded 50%—
[How many days?] She asked coldly, [Tell me clearly.]
Q version customer service: [Um... three days to a week? ]
Chiyoya Saori couldn't help but type a bunch of ellipsis marks in her mind when she thought of the vomiting blood debuff she got last time. If this could happen randomly for a week...
Thinking of her peers who were extremely sensitive, she couldn't help but shudder.
You can fool the forum, but you must never let people in real life find out! !
Chiyoya Saori made up her mind that she must be more careful from now on, keep a close eye on it at all times, and try to keep the battle damage value below 50%.
…
After closing the personal information interface, she opened her backpack again.
At this time, there are a lot more things in the backpack than a few months ago. The [Identity Supplement Card] is still working well, covering Chiyodani Toru's vest tightly, and the [Memory Erasing Potion] used on Gin has also been effective.
As long as Rei Furuya and others don't cause any trouble, Gin will not retain any impression of them.
Chiyoya Saori deliberately closed the door to the rooftop. In addition to showing her determination, another purpose was to prevent Gin from seeing the Police Academy Team and others again after he stayed there.
The Q version of the customer service didn't know what she was planning, it said expectantly: [You did a great job on the plot this time, there will definitely be a lot of highlights next month! ]
[Dear, don't you really want to try the lucky draw? ]
Chiyotani Saori smiled slightly: [I will definitely do it next time.]
178.
[#Picture: Chiyotani Toru pins Oigawa Arata to the bottom, his eyes are sharp as he looks at the controller in the distance, ready to go#Wuwuwuwuwu Toru, you’re going to kill me, I’ll kneel down and hug his thighs right now, I also want Toru to push me to the ground and kiss me qaqqq… Although I know this scene is very tense, I still can’t help it!!! This man is damn safe!! ]
[You were able to detect a sniper rifle from such a distance and lead people to dodge bullets? Chiyogaya Toru, you are indeed a gorilla!! I was so scared, it hurts so much... Your whole shoulder is covered in blood, must the bones be broken?]
[I almost burst into tears when I heard “I’m a policeman”, Toru, turn around and look behind you! Hiro is almost here, how can you just close the iron gate!!]
[I am a police officer, so I cannot leave any group of people behind, even if there are bomb dangers, I am seriously injured, even if I could be hit by a sniper at any time - I cut off all the retreat routes with my own hands, I have no retreat route]
[Jingguang! Just a wall away, just a few seconds away, he had to watch helplessly as his companion, covered in blood, stepped on the brink of life and death, but he himself could do nothing...]
[Who am I? Where am I? Who is stabbing me? Who am I chopping? (Unconscious)]
[Zhao, sister, please move away. The blade is stabbing me. Wuwuwu.]
[#Picture: A young man with a thin waist kneeling in the sun, concentrating on looking at the bomb, totally ignoring the wound on his arm#@%￥#@! Help, help! I am almost losing my mind due to my husband’s battle injuries. Hiss, hiss, how could he do that!! So desperate!! Like an unshakable flag, it pierces my heart directly]
[I almost broke down in tears when Oigawa's new perspective came out. He lost so much blood that his five senses were blurred, and he still had to spend energy defusing the bomb. Even in this situation, Toru was still trying to pretend that everything was fine and comfort the crowd. How could he be so gentle...]
[But even though he couldn't hear anything clearly, he could still feel the presence of his companions. Even in this situation, he still stubbornly concealed his physical condition, not wanting to worry others.]
[In a hazy state, Chiyodani Toru seemed to hear Furuya Rei's anxious call. He responded subconsciously, but he didn't realize that no sound came out of his mouth...
"I'm fine" "Don't worry"
As always, he told lies without hesitation, with a gentleness and apology that could drown someone. He was not used to lying, but he was used to being strong alone...]
[Even Toru, who is always afraid of heat, said it was so warm. I wonder if the police academy hadn’t called an ambulance in advance, he would have bled to death, right?]
[I realized belatedly that he had just reached adulthood and was still a child (whispering)]
[I feel like a dog walking on the side of the road, and someone suddenly kicks me]
[dbq I can only cry, this is his birthday, it is the birthday that the police academy team has carefully planned for! ! ]
[He is a righteous policeman, a brave warrior, and a guardian destined to belong to the light, so I love the red side! They are all worth it! ! ! ]
[#Picture: Chiyotani Toru, lying on the hospital bed, tried to open his eyes wide and high-fived his companions with a big smile#I originally thought I was a person who could easily be saddened... I felt a little sad when I saw Toru going through life and death, but I don't know why, even though everything was over, I couldn't help crying when I saw this group of sincere young people being so happy to save a crisis with just a simple high-five...]
[Please, organization, please stop causing trouble! Let Toru and the police academy group have a good birthday QAQ, the child is really too miserable]
[Gin, die! !]
Chiyoya Saori looked at the tearful comments under the comic and felt strangely calm, even numb.
Gin will definitely come, and Chiyodani Toru will also have to go.
It can be said that she had anticipated most of the comments, but the only part she didn't understand was the part about her birthday.
[I remember that I seemed to have used birthday as a rhetoric to Oigawa Arata at the beginning.] She murmured to the customer service in her heart, [Why is the forum so excited?]
Customer Service: [Dear, please don’t act stupid. As long as you don’t put your finger on the next page and can’t press it, I will still believe you. ]
Chiyoya Hayori: [...QAQ]
She did have a bad feeling.
I reached my peak when I saw the words "Police Academy Team Carefully Prepared Birthday".
176.
Jinpei Matsuda's bedroom.
There was no light on, and spare parts were scattered everywhere. A flashlight shone through the gap in the cabinet and hit my face, making me feel like I was seeing a haunted scene.
The five people were either standing or sitting, looking mysterious.
Furuya Rei subconsciously complained: "Why do I feel like this scene is familiar?"
Zhu Fu Jingguang twitched his lips and said, "You're not wrong, but the last time was in the class monitor's room."
Date Kou coughed lightly and put aside the thought of #holding a pajama party behind Chiyotani's back# that had arisen again in his mind.
"Tell me, what's the matter that called us here?"
"A week from now, August 15th." Hagiwara Kenji shook his finger, looking serious, "We have to prepare a surprise for Toru."
"That guy doesn't look like someone who would pay attention to his birthday." Matsuda Jinpei smacked his lips, "Didn't he still not compensate me for hiding the truth about his investigation last time? This time, let's have a grand birthday party!"
"I see." Morobushi Jingguang raised his eyebrows, "We have to do this secretly this time, otherwise that guy might find it troublesome and refuse."
Several people have already understood the nature of this classmate. In daily life, Chiyotani Toru has basically no desire to participate in other things except studying or cases, and he lacks the youthful vigor.
Although they knew what was weighing on his mind, they still hoped that he could relax a little in life and not push himself too hard.
The five of them discussed for most of the night. They wrote out plans one after another, but they were overturned by another person's new plan. It was a noisy and chaotic process. Finally, they reluctantly decided on one and began to assign tasks.
Fortunately, there were no classes the next morning, and several people took turns to catch up on their sleep, so that someone who was immersed in studying didn't notice anything.
The room with aqua blue as the main color was decorated unconsciously. Many cute slime balls were placed in various corners of the room in order, with small notes for solving the puzzle stuffed in them; the gifts carefully prepared by several people were hidden everywhere as the answers to the puzzle, waiting for the birthday star to discover them personally.
Food was naturally an indispensable part of the event. Even those who had no interest in cooking made a few desserts according to the recipe and put them in the refrigerator under the supervision of Morobushi Kagemitsu and Date Kou.
"I hope that guy doesn't get poisoned after eating your dessert." Matsuda Jinpei looked at the exquisite but strangely colored Japanese confectionery on Furiya Rei's plate with disdain, "So ugly!"
Fūya Ling said with a wry smile: "Do you think yours is so good-looking? It can even squeeze butter crooked!"
"Isn't it enough to just read the words?!" Matsuda Jinpei carefully put the cake he made into the refrigerator and said provocatively, "Do you want to bet on which one Toru eats first?"
Hagiwara Kenji "tsk tsk" twice: "You still want to bet? Can you beat Xiao Zhufu?"
"Then cover it up and let him choose blindly!"
Zhu Fu Jingguang walked out of the kitchen helplessly and patted the flour clean: "Remember not to put them together to prevent the smell from mixing."
"I don't think so. After all, it's only one day off." Date Kou said with a smile, "Tomorrow is Toru's birthday."
Furiya Ling smiled slightly: "Yes, I am looking forward to it."
Looking forward to... the coming of night.
Furiya Rei recalled the planning process over the past few days. It was so smooth and perfect that when he looked at the cold and white walls of the hospital, he felt it was not real.
One wrong move in chess, and the whole game is lost. This roughly describes the current situation.
It was not quiet outside the emergency room. The sound of someone running was heard in the distance. Looking to the side, it was Date Kou and Matsuda Jinpei who appeared. They were both holding on to the wall, panting and asking what was going on.
"It's still inside." Hagiwara Kenji raised his chin and pointed to the operating room where the lights were still on. "It's been more than two hours."
The two men wiped the sweat from their foreheads and stood in the corridor like statues returning to their places.
"Instructor Onizuka has already been here." Fūya Ling raised his eyelids slightly. "This matter is quite a big deal. I guess we will be busy for a while."
Oigawa Arata placed a bomb and wanted to jump off the building, the mysterious man who was sniped, and the mystery of his bankruptcy, each of which is worth exploring in the eyes of the police.
And now, Chiyodani Toru has been dragged in.
Matsuda Jinpei pulled the corner of his mouth and said softly: "I am actually somewhat used to it."
Whenever something happens, I always follow behind Chiyodani Toru and watch him try his best to solve the problem. I can help occasionally, but it is not the most important thing.
Several people had this powerless feeling, as if no matter what they did, the young man was still a kite in the sky, keeping a distance from them, seemingly connected to the string, yet easily carried away by the wind.
"Let's go, Jinpei-chan." Hagiwara Kenji patted Matsuda Jinpei's shoulder. "We've already paid the fare for the reservation. If it doesn't work, go get some things. No matter when Toru wakes up, we can celebrate his birthday right away."
This made sense, but Jinpei Matsuda still looked at the emergency room somewhat awkwardly. He didn't want to be left behind every time - what if Toru Ichirodani woke up after he left?
For some reason, he suddenly thought of the black-haired woman again at this moment. The latter mysteriously asked him to count down for thirty seconds, but disappeared without a trace while he was waiting.
As if he had noticed Matsuda Jinpei's hesitation, Ida Kou stood up again before he could even sit down and said, "I'll go with you to get it. It should be okay if you three watch over it."
"But... okay." Matsuda Jinpei opened his mouth, but finally decided to stay as he wished.
He watched the two tall figures disappear around the corner, then walked into the emergency room, put his hands against the cold door, and began counting down in his heart.
Count from thirty to zero, and repeat again.
Morofushi Kagemitsu remained silent from beginning to end.
He sat on a metal chair painted green. Chiyotani Toru's black backpack was placed next to him. It was stained with blood, which also stained the chair with large patches of red.
The black-haired young man was a person with a very obvious sense of distance. Without his permission, Morobushi Jingguang did not intend to open the backpack and take out the things inside. He just took out the mobile phone that was easily damaged by water and put it in his arms.
The sticky blood stuck to his hands, turning into reddish-brown marks over time, which fell to the ground with a light scrape. However, the door of the emergency room was not opened until he had cleaned all the traces on his hands.
"What time is it?"
"Half past eight."
There are still three and a half hours left in the day.
The fireworks that had been scheduled were of no use, no one was interested in the cakes in the refrigerator, and the giant ice cream was bought by some kid and melted in the scorching sun.
Zhu Fu Jingguang exhaled slowly, leaned against the cold wall, and looked at the flashing signal light.
For a moment, everyone lowered their demands to the lowest level.
They didn't ask for Chiyodani Toru to smile and play with them while eating snacks, nor did they ask for them to take a group photo with their newly bought camera. They only had one wish.
Can they say happy birthday today...?
Just this one sentence.
177.
The lights in the emergency room eventually went out. As the door smelling of blood opened, five young men rushed over like hungry wolves smelling something, startling the nurse who opened the door.
Morofushi Jingguang asked nervously, "What's going on now?"
"Move aside, move aside." The nurse pushed several people away and said in a clear and loud voice, "The patient is safe, but he may need to rest for a while."
Several people relaxed as she said, and suddenly turned from hungry wolves into sheep. They were obediently driven aside and stood in a row.
The young man was still lying on the hospital bed with his eyes tightly closed. His black hair was covered with dust and stuck into strands by blood, hanging in front of his forehead. He looked particularly wolfish, but his originally gray face had returned to normal and his eyes and eyebrows were smiling, as if he was immersed in a beautiful dream.
His exposed right hand was still hooked up to an IV drip, and drops of blood turned into vitality and flowed into his body.
Fūya Rei subconsciously reached out and pushed the loose hair in front of his forehead aside.
As if because the skin under his hands was abnormally cold, he felt panic subconsciously, and moved his warm palm down, wanting to put it on the neck to feel the pulse.
“Cough cough cough!”
There were sudden violent coughs, and the lying young man turned his head uncomfortably. He still closed his eyes, but his body curled up involuntarily, and he accidentally moved the hand with the needle, and blood immediately flowed out from the wound.
The tranquility on his face disappeared, and the young man frowned, as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out for a long time, and was soon swept away by a series of coughs.
"Ah!" The nurse at the side was startled. She quickly stepped forward to hold down the person who was coughing uncontrollably, and said in a panic, "This shouldn't happen. How could the anesthetic wear off so quickly!"
Fūya Rei was startled and quickly withdrew his hand. Several people nearby also stopped and came over to help hold the shoulders or control the rolling bed.
But soon, the young man's cough subsided, and he frowned slightly, seeming to be waking up.
"All of you come out with me!"
The nurse rearranged the IV tube, quickly sent the patient to a single room, and then pushed several frightened young men next to him out the door.
"You guys stay here and watch. I'm going to find the attending physician now." She said hurriedly, "The anesthetic should last for two hours. If it loses its effect too quickly, it will be very painful."
"You are Chiyotani-kun's classmates, right? Watch at the door. If you use static or dynamic methods to hold him down, remember not to touch his wounds!"
The young nurse left in a hurry after she finished speaking. Someone who had been standing at the door for a while reacted belatedly.
"This nurse... looks familiar." Matsuda Jinpei murmured, "Isn't this the nurse Kamikawa I met in the inpatient department last time?"
"How did she get transferred to the surgery department?!"
After Matsuda Jinpei finished speaking, he found that no one responded. He turned around and saw that four of his classmates were all pressed against the glass, looking inside through the not-so-big window.
Among them, Kenji Hagiwara and Kou Date relied on their height to stand on tiptoe and look from above, while Rei Furuya and Kagemitsu Morofushi below leaned together, squeezing the lower half of the square window.
“…”
He made a "tsk" sound and without hesitation, squeezed Furiya Zero with his shoulder and moved forward.
"Why are you squeezing me?" Fūya Ling gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Who told you to be in a daze just now? Get out of the way!"
"No!" Matsuda Jinpei also looked disgusted, "Isn't it time for you to lose weight? How can one person block the entire window?"
"Bullshit, I'm not as fat as you!"
The two of them were pulling each other, making so much noise that no one could see anything. Zhu Fu Jingguang took a step back helplessly and said to the others, "Let's take turns. How about rock-paper-scissors?"
Date Kou and Hagiwara Kenji quickly left the battlefield and expressed their agreement. The remaining two people, who became doubly childish when they were together, had no choice but to nod and give up their seats reluctantly.
For a moment, the small window was empty.
--------
At this moment, Chiyoya Hayato, who was pretending to sleep in the hospital bed, almost broke out in a cold sweat.
It's so scary, Rei Furuya!
Why do you need to feel her pulse if there is nothing to do?
Although the fake installation is well pasted, it definitely feels wrong to the touch!
Fortunately, she was smart and escaped the disaster by coughing...
Now it seems that the five guys should have followed the nurse to consult her about the problem of anesthetic wearing off, instead of guarding the door.
Chiyotani Hayori's heart was pounding, and for a moment she didn't know what to do next.
She really didn't know that these guys had been secretly cheering for her birthday these past few days, otherwise she wouldn't, wouldn't...
I wouldn't have sent myself to the ICU so late.
Chiyoya Saori sighed in her heart. She herself had forgotten about her birthday, so how could those guys still remember it?
If she hadn't thought of this when she was looking up Ooi Yui's information and looking for common points, she really wouldn't have had any unnecessary thoughts.
But now...
I don't know if any time has passed.
Chiyotani Sayori slowly narrowed her eyes into a slit and glanced at the surrounding environment with difficulty through the slit.
But even when she opened her eyes wide, she didn't see anyone, nor did she hear any other breathing sounds in the room. The only small window that could see into the room was empty.
Well, good, no one!
She can wake up quickly and check the time.
If it's past midnight, just go back to sleep, and then wait until the battle damage and debuffs are gone before you go to celebrate your birthday with your friends. If it's not past midnight...
Then when the person comes, she will pretend to wake up again and say "Happy Birthday" to him...right?
Chiyoya Saori thought a little hesitantly, but the idea of celebrating her birthday with the police academy team prevailed.
The painkiller will only wear off in half an hour, so you can use it as much as you want!
She was very familiar with the single room in this hospital. There would definitely be a spare sports watch in the drawer next to it, so it didn't take much effort to check the time.
Thinking of this, the young man lying on the bed suddenly jumped up and turned over extremely quickly. She bent her body and awkwardly used her right hand, which was still injected, to reach for the drawer.
But before he could touch the drawer, the door was slammed open with a loud bang.
The five gorillas at the door basically rushed in headfirst, roaring without even standing firmly.
"Chiyodani Toru——!"
"What on earth do you want to do?!"
Chiyoya Hayori: "???!!"
She looked there just a second ago and there was no one there! This doesn't make sense!
