Gin didn't have time to take the elevator, so he ran quickly in the stairwell. He can safely say that this was the fastest he had ever run in his life.

Of course, he didn't want to escape as soon as possible because of the explosion that was about to happen in ten minutes. Instead, he felt as if the blood in his body had frozen and he felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave because of the second half of the email from that gentleman.

[In addition, remember to stay where you are within one minute after the explosion. The surveillance video in the monitoring room is also valuable information and needs to be destroyed separately, but the bomb there needs some time to delay, so wait until you confirm that the explosion has occurred on the 19th floor underground before leaving.]

[The delay will not exceed one minute. I hope you are not affected by the explosion.]

[You are my rare child whom I trust. Once you have successfully escaped, please come to my side.]

At the end of the email, there is a location attached. You don’t have to guess that it means “next to that gentleman”, which is most likely where that gentleman is.

Gin didn't have time to care about the position that the gentleman sent him. His mind was blank at this moment, full of disbelief.

Gin touched the gun and stared at Bourbon coldly.

He probably knew what happened in the data room just now. Xian stabilized his body, but he was confused by what happened next. The first thing that came to his mind was Gin's panicked expression, which made him alert to what could have caused Gin to show that expression.

"...He saved you." Gin said in a calm voice.

"Xian!" Gin coughed a few times, enduring the discomfort in his eardrums and the dizziness in his brain after the explosion, and gently went to check on Xian's condition.

Hearing this, Gin thought that these two people wanted to take the opportunity to attack them, and immediately murderous intent appeared in his eyes. He pulled out his gun and pointed it at the two men without hesitation.

Zhu Fujingguang nodded with a smile: "So, are you going?"

Gin didn't say anything. He glanced at the base behind him and did a simple calculation of the time.

Oh no, shit.

[Host, are you stupid?! Gin has a shield and can’t be hurt! ! !]

Furuya Rei: ...

Still alive.

There was a gloomy look in Gin's eyes. He did not agree, but looked at Furuya Rei. His meaning was very clear.

Seeing this, Zhu Fu Jingguang walked out from behind Furuya Ling, and then gently took off the human skin mask, revealing a pair of gentle and familiar cat eyes: "Gin, do you remember me? I am Scotland."

[Host, congratulations on being alive. ]

Definitely...internal injuries. Xian's head was buzzing, and he half-squinted his eyes to look at Gin, but found that everything in front of him was blurry, so he had to give up. Before losing consciousness, Xian heard the system alarm loudly in his mind.

Xian wanted to ask, but before he could finish his question, his voice was drowned out by an explosion behind him.

Gin didn't say anything, but just took out his Beretta and pointed at the two people in front of him.

One minute means that even that gentleman does not know when the bomb in the monitoring room will explode. It could be one or two seconds later, or it could be fifty-nine or sixty seconds later.

"Nothing?" Gin looked unhappy. "Really?"

Explosions are indeed the organization's specialty.

This scene, coupled with the explosion just now, would allow anyone with a discerning eye to guess the answer, and Furuya Rei and Morobushi Keimitsu were no exception. Morobushi Keimitsu saw Finlandia, who was unconscious at this time, and thought of Gin's previous appearance, and he immediately understood. From Xi'an, he could guess the relationship between Xi'an and Gin, but he didn't expect Gin to care so much...

But what did Gin see? It couldn't be that the gentleman told Gin that he was going to kill me and asked Gin not to stop him? Why bother?

Xian had been paying attention to Gin's movements since just now. He saw Gin pointing a gun at Brandy, saw Brandy approaching the data room on his own initiative for some reason, and saw that the data room was suddenly separated by a metal partition wall, followed by a shaking caused by an explosion.

"Gin, what exactly is it..."

Ah... I remember now, the monitoring room blew up, and Gin rushed to save me, so I didn't die. Gin seemed to have seen something on his phone before and rushed to save me, and I was ordered to the monitoring room by that gentleman, so... Actually, that gentleman wanted to kill me? [It seems to be like this now. 】

But what he didn't expect was that the monitoring room would explode ahead of time, and within one minute after the explosion in the data room.

As soon as they left the base, Gin was about to separate from the two public security officers, but was stopped by Zhu Fu Jingguang: "Gin, you don't want to take him back to the safe house to bandage him, do you?"

Gin was silent for a moment, then silently carried Xian on his back and followed them.

Ah Zhen? Is that Gin's name? The two police officers raised their eyebrows in surprise. With this name, they were closer than they thought.

Zhu Fujingguang nodded: "I think that Gin's loss of control just now may be related to this explosion."

But now is not the time to think about these things. Xian needs treatment. This place is about to explode completely and needs to be transferred as soon as possible.

[It's alright, don't move around! ]

In other words... that gentleman deliberately asked Xian to go to the monitoring room! That gentleman deliberately wanted Xian to die! ! Why? Shouldn't Finlandia always be that gentleman's trusted subordinate? Although he knew that the gentleman would not completely trust anyone, he should at least have trust in Finlandia, otherwise he would not have always ordered Finlandia to do things alone! Wasn't it rumored in the organization? Finlandia, the gentleman's good child, existed independently of various groups in the organization. Why, at this last moment, did the gentleman give him trust, but let Xian, who had been trained alone for many years, die? ! Gin ran to the end of the corridor, and then was extremely happy to find that the door of the monitoring room was open, and he could see Xian sitting inside at a glance.

[Host! ! Be careful! ! ]

Explosions were a common method used by the organization, and he was used to it. Even if that gentleman sent him a separate email telling him that the organization's base would explode in ten minutes, he would not be shocked at all, but instead felt that "it was as expected".

Gin gritted his teeth, rushed out of the stairs on the 19th floor underground, and ran towards the secret monitoring room at the end of the corridor.

"…Although we haven't officially signed a contract, we are still half partners after all. I will try not to take advantage of you." Furuya Rei shrugged. "It would be better if you could cooperate a little."

He finally confirmed that the gentleman had never trusted Finlandia from the beginning.

Ah...I forgot.

But when he asked Xian to go to the monitoring room, he also asked him to go to the data room and instruct Brandy to press the damn starter! He didn't think that gentleman would let Xian evacuate as soon as he arrived at the monitoring room.

Who was the executor at the time? Gin dug up his memories from that time and found the answer.

By the way, I seemed to hear you swearing before I fainted, and it was blocked.

"Now that everything is alright, can you explain to me the fact that Scotland is still alive?" Although it was a questioning tone, there was always a feeling that it could not be refused.

Xian: ...

"It seems like he needs immediate medical treatment, Gin." Zhu Fujingguang's eyes showed worry.

With the loud warning from the brain system and the heat wave coming quickly from behind, Xian's pupils suddenly dilated. Without time to think, he directly opened his arms to hold Gin's shoulders, moved his center of gravity forward, tried his best to use his body to block Gin, and shouted as loudly as he could:

Xian: ...

"Indeed, it's very strange." Furiya Rei stood firm, looked at the staircase leading to the 19th floor underground, and then exchanged a glance with Morobushi Keimitsu, "Hiro, there's still time, do you want to go take a look?"

Xian, who had already suffered considerable damage, fell heavily to the ground with Gin after losing the support of the explosive wind, and rolled many times before stopping.

Xi'an said without any burden. Besides, who would care if Gin had a shield at that time? He would never use his own young friend to block the bomb, right? Furutani Rei, who was driving, saw Xi'an wake up in the rearview mirror, so he said, "Are you awake? See how you feel? I will decide whether to send you to the hospital or prison based on how you feel."

"Xian!!!"

Xian always knew that the gentleman didn't trust him. If he trusted him, he wouldn't have kept him by his side and prevented him from looking for Gin. On the surface, it seemed that he was given unlimited honors, but in fact, only he knew the suspicion behind it.

If it were in the past, no matter when these bombs exploded, Gin would never have the slightest objection, but the problem now is...

"Yeah, I'm fine." Xian curled his eyes and tilted his head to look at Gin, "So if we go to prison, how about we consider jumping out of the car, A Zhen?"

"Gin?" Gin, who heard the voice, fixed his sharp eyes on the person who came. It was Bourbon and the unknown member from before.

Then Xian felt an extremely strong airflow coming from behind him, lifting him and Gin up, followed by an extremely strong roar, which hurt his eardrums and made his head buzz. He didn't have time to feel what hit his back, he just felt a piercing pain as if he was burned by a red-hot iron. Xian used his only remaining consciousness to try his best to shield Gin with his body.

"But why would it explode at this time?" Zhu Fu Jingguang frowned, "Didn't they say it would explode in ten minutes? And even if it was going to explode, it shouldn't be just this degree."

“Get down!!!”

Xian is in the monitoring room!!!

What he couldn't understand the most was this explosion... Why did Xian get hurt so badly, while he was just a little dizzy from the explosion? Even if Xian had consciously blocked it just now... it shouldn't have been blocked to this extent, right?

Scotland was rescued... Gin pursed his lips tightly. Three years? Or four years? Scotland had been rescued at that time. So, who rescued Scotland, Xian or Finlandia...

"If I remember correctly, we should be of the same generation." Zhu Fujingguang looked back helplessly, "Xian, how do you feel?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang: ...

As soon as Morobushi Keimitsu and Fūya Rei stepped onto the nineteenth floor underground, they felt the familiar shaking again, followed by a very familiar sound of explosion.

When Gin heard Zhu Fujingguang calling out Xian's name, his eyes fluctuated. He asked coldly, "Who are you?"

But what he didn't understand was, even if he didn't trust him, why did he attack at this time? And why did he bypass Finlandia to gain the trust of that gentleman? He even sent him the location and asked him to take the initiative to find him after the headquarters base fell.

Hmm... Was he arrested by the police? Then the person he was leaning on was... Gin? Xian sobered up and straightened up.

"Huh? It's really okay." Xian blinked.

"...Scotland." Gin's pupils shrank slightly. Of course he had an impression of the public security undercover who had been discovered before Akai Shuichi and had been dealt with.

So he acted like he was facing a great enemy, just to get him out of the monitoring room? Xian frowned, feeling something was wrong. Gin wouldn't take him away for no reason, so there must be something wrong with the monitoring room? But it was that gentleman who let him into the monitoring room...

"Oh." Xian cleared his throat, his voice a little weak. He turned to look at Gin who was sitting beside him with a sullen face and said, "Was he arrested by the police?"

This system actually cursed. Xian thought about this and completely lost consciousness.

[…Is that the point?! You only care about this?! Don’t you look at what you did?! Why did you block the bomb for Gin?! Gin has a shield!! What you should have done was to hide in front of Gin and let him block it for you!]

Even when they were very close as children, Xian had never seen Gin show that kind of panicked and terrified expression. Seeing Gin moving quickly and extremely nervously, Xian subconsciously tensed his body and followed Gin to run out quickly.

Gin closed his eyes, thinking of the email sent by that gentleman, and finally said: "Save him, I know what you want to know."

His back was covered in blood and his ears were bleeding. These were not fatal, but it was hard to say whether his internal organs had suffered more serious injuries, so Gin didn't dare to make any big movements for a while.

Gin rushed into the room, grabbed the man without saying a word and ran out, regardless of Xian's stunned expression.

"Are you sure you want to confront us here, Gin?" Furuya Rei sneered, "This place is about to explode." As he said that, Furuya Rei pulled Morobushi Kagemitsu and walked towards the stairwell.

The police who had originally invaded the upper floors had already retreated, and even on the first floor, no other members of the organization were seen except for the corpses. It was unknown whether they were captured or escaped.

Xian regained consciousness in a daze. He opened his eyes slightly and found himself sitting in a car. Furukaya Rei was driving and Morobushi Keimitsu was sitting in the passenger seat.

Why?! Xian was in the monitoring room. This was authorized by that gentleman himself. Xian also took out the email sent to him and waved it in front of him. The email clearly stated that Finlandia should go to the monitoring room to observe the actions of the organization members and the invaders, and report to Gin at any time.

Fūya Rei wanted to say something, but Zhufu Jingguang beat him to it: "Gin, facing the explosion may cause serious internal injuries. Xian needs to go to the hospital for examination, but in the current situation, it should be difficult for you to go to the hospital, right?"

He didn't know how much time had passed since he activated the device, but he had never felt such an excruciating minute in his life.

Gin carefully supported Xian and stood up with the help of the wall, with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Ah... I'm seriously injured. I'm about to faint." Xian closed his eyes peacefully.

Gin: ...

Zhu Fu Jingguang: ...

Furuya Rei: ...
