When Liyuan arrived, I was the only one left in the room.
I sent the doctor away after treating my wounds, leaving only a medicine box on the table. I also did not let anyone in the hotel, just waiting for Li Yuan to come.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw my tightly wrapped upper body through my open pajamas, with bandages all over my abdomen to my collarbone.
Also on the neck.
Do you think I am more like Dazai Osamu?
This is the real Chuuya's body and Dazai's heart - I understand.
"This is what you asked for." He handed me a black box.
I didn't take it directly, but showed him the bandage on my hand and said, "Sit down and help me adjust it. I'm not feeling well right now."
"yes."
The Hong Kong underworld has a strict hierarchical system. Once an order is given by the leader, there is no need to think about the reason, just to strictly execute it.
The so-called "Mafia rules": Don't try to figure out the leader's thoughts or intentions, just follow orders.
He didn't sit next to me, but sat on the chair next to me. After sitting down, he immediately opened the box and started to equip himself, which really made Liyuan look silly.
I felt more confident.
"This isn't the first time we've met, Tachihara-kun," I suddenly spoke.
He was already very nervous, and his hands were shaking, and he almost dropped my earphones on the ground.
Hey, keep your hands steady. I will need this to command the black lizard later. After all, I am a small leader now, right?
After all, he was a professional, so he quickly calmed down and quickly answered my question, "Are you talking about the last mission?"
It was a smart move to attribute the last incident to the Hong Kong underworld. I don't have the conditions to verify it now. Mr. Mori and Naka are not here. He just needs to encrypt the mission and then put the blame on the leader, and it will be over.
However, this move also shows two things - Mr. Mori will not be back for a while; the other thing is that he will return to the team soon.
So even if it gets exposed later, it doesn’t matter.
He must think so himself, but you can see that his expression is hesitant and tangled. His long life in Hong Kong underworld has changed him, or made him who he is now.
Li Yuan's feelings towards Hong Kong's underworld, especially the Black Lizard, are much deeper than he imagined.
"Secret mission?" I asked, following his lead.
"Well, I don't know the details." The answer was as expected.
"How did you join the Port Mafia?"
"I just joined the group. I thought the Mafia was cool when I was in school." He laughed. "The signal has been debugged. Do you want to try it now?"
I nodded and motioned for him to come over and help me put them on my ears.
This operation was not difficult. The moment his hand left my ear, I suddenly looked up at him, blinked my big eyes, and said innocently, "You are the fifth person of 'Hound', right?"
If his emotions had a picture, the exclamation marks on his body would fill up the entire screen.
"What are you talking about? 'Hound'——?" He pretended to think for a while, "Is it the military police force that Mr. Guangjin mentioned recently?"
The pretending is quite similar.
But I ignored him and continued talking on my own.
"Was there something important that you had to risk your life to deliver last time?"
"You misunderstood, I am..."
"No, at least it has nothing to do with the Hound team. The mastermind of the 'Common Devouring' is Fei Jia. Before he actually took action, his goal was always very secret, and you had no way of knowing it. Let me guess - is it because of your own business?"
Tachihara: ...
I saw that his face looked a little dark, like a shadow in a comic book with half of his face covered. I was very excited and continued to expose his past. "I heard that the members of 'Hound' have a lot of 'artificial, artificial' factors, so they have to undergo physical 'maintenance' once a month."
At this point, I deliberately dragged out my tone, using that wavy tone that is unique to a prince, and exaggeratedly said, "Tachihara-kun, you don't disappear for a period of time every month, do you?"
A flash of metallic light flashed before my eyes, and the gun that I had placed on the table was now held in front of my neck.
Tachihara's hand did not touch the weapon - he was using his supernatural power.
Phew, doesn't he know what my special ability is?
And his ability to control metal, I remember it was——
Oh, I forgot the name of his ability.
It’s strange, I feel like my memory has been bursting lately!
Forget it, let’s consider the present matter first.
"Tachihara-kun, you should know my identity, right?" I squinted my eyes to make my blurry vision clear. "Do you think your special ability will work on me?"
As I spoke, I reached out my hand, and when my fingertips touched the spring dagger, it seemed as if it had lost the strength to control it, and it fell at my feet.
...It's next to my feet! It's inserted with the tip pointing downwards!
I almost got myself into trouble by pretending to be too cool. If this had stuck in my foot, this boys' comic would have turned into a comedy comic.
I was so scared that my face almost froze.
"Disqualified from the human world..." This was probably the first time that Li Yuan felt the feeling of losing control of his supernatural powers.
Zai Zi's special ability is quite famous, and he must have been registered with the hunting dogs.
"It seems that the latest intelligence has not reached you~" Before I could laugh in the rhythm of his words, he pushed me down on the soft bed.
Although this action is a very natural thing, I still want to say that with the same bed and the same behavior, I don’t want to live here again in the future.
He held my bandaged neck with one hand, and with the other hand he had taken the thing I had just taken.
"Tsk tsk tsk, it's a shame that with such mobility he is only a captain of ten men." I exclaimed in amazement, not caring at all about the tip of the knife which was no more than a millimeter away from my eyeball.
——It’s just that when there is something in front of you, my eyes will involuntarily focus on the thing in front of me.
Suddenly it occurred to me that in such a dim environment, I wouldn't lose the highlights as the little wild dog does, right?
"Besides you, who else would know?" Li Yuan's tone was cold, but his interrogation skills were too immature.
Asking this question is equivalent to telling me that he still has reasons why he cannot be exposed now, right?
He is cute in a silly way.
"It's just me." I admitted generously. "Why, are you going to get rid of me here?"
His hands were steady, but his heart was uneasy.
"What are you worried about - Mori Ogai, Nakahara Chuuya or Ozaki Kouye? Actually, you don't have to worry about anything. The first two are now in the sphere of influence of 'Hound'. You only need to worry about Kouye. But I can think of a way for you." I said sincerely, "First, you can kill me. The only person who took over my injury just now was a doctor. He is now on standby in 1201 downstairs. You can use your special ability to quietly get rid of him. With the state I was in when I entered the hotel just now, as long as I pretended to attack a little, my death has nothing to do with you, and no one will blame you."
I could clearly feel the hand on my neck tightening, and his spirit became even more tense.
"But both Tiao Ye Cai Ju and Suehiro Tetsuchi failed to save my life. Can you do it?" I said with a laugh.
——Damn itchy flesh, why did Liyuan suddenly put one knee on the bed, and it just happened to touch my waist.
"Hehe——" But this laugh seemed to have a miraculous effect.
Liyuan's psychological defenses should be almost gone, it's time to move on to the next step.
I stood up directly, not caring about the knife that was almost sticking into my eye socket.
Liyuan's reaction was what I expected. I pulled back the knife and didn't actually let it stab into my brain.
That's right, follow my rhythm.
By the way, fortunately there is no third person in the room, look at the postures of Liyuan and I now.
I sat up from the bed, with only the part below the knees hanging out of the bed. Li Yuan had just had one knee stuck beside my waist, and his whole body was originally covering me, with his left hand pinching my neck and his right hand holding a dick. Now that I sat up, he sat directly on my legs, still pinching me face to face in an extremely indescribable posture.
All I can say is, please don’t turn this part into a comic book plot, otherwise I will just go back and become socially dead, okay!
I won't be able to read comics anymore.
Back to the point, I couldn't push him away at this time, otherwise it would appear that I was at a disadvantage, so I could only bite the bullet and ask, "What is the responsibility of the Hound?"
"The government's minions that devour the evil of crime." He answered my question subconsciously, almost without thinking.
What did I ask? What did you say?
Would you consider not answering this question?
To be honest, Tachihara has been trained by Mr. Hirotsu - or you could say Mr. Mori - into a complete mafia member.
The Mafia mentality permeated his entire being, overriding his instincts as a "hunter dog".
He couldn't go back a long time ago, but he didn't realize it. Or, he needed someone to give him a reason.
"Criminal evil? Do you mean the port mafia?" I asked.
"Of course!" Tachihara's voice suddenly became louder, and he jumped back a step from where he was standing, as if he was convincing himself to be sure.
I closed my eyes, laughed, and shook my head.
"Don't you know clearly in your heart that the Hong Kong underworld is not purely evil, nor are they purely criminals? Otherwise, why did you come in undercover instead of being ordered to destroy this place directly?"
"That's because... it's necessary..."
"Yes, because it is necessary." I stopped talking immediately after hearing what I wanted. "Where there is light, there must be shadows. Where there is no darkness, there is only complete darkness. That's why we need something like 'order'."
"The Port Mafia is the evil 'order', the dark law of this land." I held up three fingers. "Day, night and dusk, each has its own rules and balance, but what if this balance is broken?"
"There are only five of you, 'Hounds', five extraordinary senior military police, used to handle various cases that are difficult for ordinary people to handle. But after handling these, what do you plan to leave for this land? Another dragon war, or another chaos and riot?"
I clasped my hands together, and the clapping sound struck Liyuan's heart.
"You don't think that just one or a few people can change the situation, right? Someone has tried it before, you should be familiar with it - Changan Island."
The atmosphere around him changed noticeably, and I even felt his hands trembling.
"A girl of only 11 years old with superpowers was sent to the battlefield. The military tried to use her abilities to create an 'Undead Army' to turn the tide of the war. What was the result?" I asked. "Ah - that girl became the 'Angel of Death'. She became a person who hated and didn't value life because she had seen many lives passed away. Then she took on all the hatred."
"What remains of that experiment is probably a group of innocent soldiers for whom death has become a luxury. It's so sad. They were all young people who just wanted to defend their country, but they ended up being sacrificed by the self-righteous "authorities." "
"Tachihara-kun, are you also a member of this "authority"?!"
I stood up, pinched Tachihara's chin with my fingers, lifted him up so that he looked into my eyes, and held his face with my other hand. "Answer me, you endure the pain of transforming your body, and what you are desperately trying to protect is the concept of land, or the people who live in this concept!"
