Chapter 36: Dead, Don't Cue

Bourbon looked really angry, and he was so ruthless that Akiyama Kanade felt embarrassed to continue fighting two against one.

He walked to Scotland with his bamboo stick and squatted down.

There was a bloody hole in the man's chest, and it was certain that he was beyond help.

Akiyama sighed.

There was the sound of a car roaring downstairs, and Akiyama Kanade looked down. With his back to Bourbon and Ray, he had the same expression as an old man on the subway looking at his phone.

The public security support finally arrived.

You came just in time.

Blue Curacao spoke up to stop Bourbon and Rye from fighting any further.

Lei wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and stared at him with cold eyes. The meaning in his eyes was clear - if I remember correctly, you were the first to attack.

Akiyama Kanade was unmoved. Blue Orange Wine had a higher status in the organization than them, so even if they were dissatisfied, they had to keep it to themselves. He ordered Bourbon and Ley to distract the police who were rushing downstairs.

"I'm going to take Scotland's body back for Gin to confirm. You all know he's very suspicious. He probably won't believe it unless he sees it with his own eyes."

Bourbon's eyes passed over the blue curaçao and fell on Scotch behind him. He clenched his hands into fists and his voice sounded a little unsteady, "Are you sure... Scotch is dead?"

The handsome black-haired man said calmly, "Of course, without a doubt."

Bourbon took a deep breath and lowered his head slightly. The moonlight shifted and his entire face was shrouded in shadow. "Let me take his...body back. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for you to walk with someone on your legs."

He was surprised that at this moment he still remembered to find a reason for his behavior.

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness. I'm not that useless." Blue Curacao bent down and carried Scotland's body on his shoulders with one hand. He looked towards the stairs and said, "They are coming up. Remember to keep them far away."

After Bourbon and Ley left, Akiyama Kanade put Scotland's body into the warehouse. The storage grid in the warehouse has a time-stopping effect, so the body can be kept in it for thousands of years without decaying. On the way back, he made a face based on Scotland's and replaced Scotland's body with a spare body.

Even the wounds are restored one-to-one to ensure that no one can tell the difference.

The organization still doesn't know how to deal with Scotland's body, but he is dead, and all Akiyama Kanade can do for him is to ensure his peace after death.

Perhaps because his soul had not been completely restored, Akiyama Kanade was very tired after running around all night. After returning to the base, he threw the body of "Scotland" to Gin and yawned, "I'm sleepy, hurry up and finish checking the body, I want to go back to sleep."

Gin looked disgusted at him.

Akiyama Kanade asked again: "What should we do with this body?"

"It's useless. Throw it into the sea."

"It's up to you, but don't expect me to work for you."

Akiyama Kanade forced himself to cheer up, lay down on the sofa in the base, and reconnected his consciousness to the unconscious Yu Zi. He manipulated her to go back to the research institute in a daze, hide in the toilet, and wait for him to come back and put her in the warehouse.

As a result, it broke off halfway.

Akiyama Kanade felt very depressed and could only pray that no kind-hearted person would find her. She even called the police.

When Bourbon and Ley got rid of the police and returned to the base, most of the other members of the organization had already left, and only Blue Curacao was lying on the sofa and sleeping leisurely.

As soon as they approached, the man opened his eyes.

A pair of grey eyes revealed an inhuman quality.

"It's you who are back." He said, yawning, "The mission is completed, you can go to bed now." He lay back and closed his eyes.

Lei turned and walked away.

Bourbon hesitated, and asked in a calm tone, "Where is Scotland's body? Didn't you bring it back?"

"Hmm?" Blue Curacao's voice was a little sleepy. "Gin said he wanted to throw it into the sea. I don't know where he put it. You can go find him if you want."

Bourbon took a deep breath and said slowly, "No, I'm not interested in his body. I just felt a little unhappy that I didn't kill him myself after cooperating with him once or twice before."

Blue Orange yawned again, slightly lifted his eyelids and looked at him, "I understand. If one day I find out that Gin is an undercover agent, I will also wish to kill him with my own hands." He seemed to think seriously, "I wonder if Gin's body will be the same as that of an ordinary person when chopped."

A hint of distress was hooked at the corners of his handsome eyebrows and eyes, and seemed to carry a bloody smell.

Bourbon didn't say anything for a long time. There was no expression on his face. When Akiyama Kanade was about to fall asleep, he heard his low and cold voice, "No matter who you are, you will probably be the same after you turn into a corpse after death."

He slightly opened his eyes and saw Bourbon's back as he walked out. There was no light in the base, and he almost melted into the darkness, except for his light blond hair, which seemed to be a candle that had not been extinguished in the night, burning alone.

He and Scotland actually have a very good relationship, Akiyama Kanade thought. Although his tone was cold, the sadness in his eyes was almost unbearable. He even looked a little pitiful.

But in a place like an organization, friendship is not allowed to exist.

After sleeping for about two hours, Akiyama Kanade woke up from his dream. After the chaotic dream receded from his mind like a tide, he felt that he seemed to be in much better spirits, to the point where he could take out four spare bodies to play mahjong.

He split into two consciousnesses, one waking up in Yuzi's body, and the other entering the body of "Scotland". He had no other intention, just to confirm whether the organization really threw him into the sea.

But after they regained consciousness, Akiyama, Amago, and Suge all fell silent.

The situation on both sides is slightly more complicated.

First, here is Yu Zizou. She opened and closed her eyes repeatedly until her eyes were almost cramped before she could confirm... She seemed to have arrived at the research institute? And she was lying on the operating table. What happened? If I remember correctly, didn't she lose power and disconnect halfway last night?

She stood up while propped up on the cold operating table and touched her face. The mask on her face had been taken off and placed on the table beside her.

As soon as Yu Zi put one foot on the ground, the door of the room was pushed open.

A pretty girl with short brown hair and a white coat walked in, holding a measuring cup filled with a strange brown liquid. "You're awake."

It's Shirley.

Noticing the woman's puzzled look, Shirley explained, "I found you unconscious on the road last night and brought you back. This is the research institute where I work. I'm sorry there are no extra beds, so I can only put you on the operating table first."

She handed the measuring cup over to him and said, "Would you like some? It's coffee."

You are worthy of being the one to use a measuring cup to hold the coffee.

Yu Zizou picked up the mask from the table and put it back on, then covered her hood with her coat and said softly, "Thank you." She paused, "No need for coffee."

Things should have ended here with the friendly mutual assistance of two beautiful girls, but unfortunately, Chianti and Cohen, who had injured their legs last night, also came here to treat their injuries. Then the three people who were about to leave happened to run into them.

As the saying goes, enemies become jealous of each other when they meet.

Chianti and Cohen didn't know that the blue curacao wine had betrayed the revolution. Half of the bottle of wine was mixed with water. The two thought they were injured because of the black-robed woman who disappeared halfway.

In a sense, there is no difference.

What could Yu Zizou do? He could only beat the man again and escape quickly.

Then, as soon as Su Gezou's consciousness was connected, he felt someone holding him and crying. The person's throat made a low, animal-like sob, but the sound was very low, as if he was afraid that a louder sound would wake him up. He called a name softly, Jing, and Su Gezou guessed that this might be Scotland's name.

Hiro, what a nice name.

Sounds like a hero.

Su Ge recognized the voice of the man who was crying and hugging him. They had just met last night. It was Bourbon.

He was right. Bourbon and Scotland were indeed very good friends.

I don't know which is worse, being betrayed by a friend or seeing a friend die. Poor Bourbon.

Akiyama originally planned that if the organization really threw Sugo into the sea, he would try to swim back by himself and recycle his body into the warehouse. However, when he fell into Bourbon's hands, he could not do anything. He just regarded it as a spare body.

Before losing consciousness, Akiyama Kanade heard a voice calling "Mr. Fūya", but she didn't know who it was calling.

When Akiyama Kanade returned to the institute, Chianti was complaining to Gin. She insisted that Shirley, who brought the woman in black back to the institute, was in cahoots with that woman.

Chianti has always had a bad temper. After being beaten up by Yuzi, how could he tolerate this? He insisted that Gin punish Shirley.

Gin frowned as he listened to her chatter.

"You are angry because you are no match for that woman, right?" Although pretending that one of his legs was inconvenient to move, Akiyama Kanade still walked silently.

Chianti frowned, "Who are you?"

"Blue Curacao." Akiyama Kanade's tone sounded good-tempered. But this code name gave people a strong sense of pressure. Other members might not know, but Chianti and Cohen, who often followed Gin to deal with traitors, knew Blue Curacao's methods very well.

"That's enough," the long-haired man said indifferently, "The Scots are all dead, so why are you still talking here? It's just a meaningless quarrel."

Chianti didn't dare to say anything more in front of the obviously impatient Blue Curacao. He just shut up and left with his companions.

Gin, on the other hand, looked at Blue and Orange with a bit of doubt, "When did you become so kind?" He looked at Shirley thoughtfully.

"Hey," Blue Orange Wine frowned in disgust, "I know what you're thinking. Do you think I'm as perverted as you and don't even let minors go?"

Gin: “…”

In the entire organization, you have the most minors who died at your hands. How can you have the nerve to say that?

After Gin left the institute and only she and Blue Curacao were left in the room, Shirley finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had never thought that the person she had saved turned out to be a companion of the organization's traitor, Scotland.

"Did you go after Scotch last night, too?" she asked Blue Curacao, who was brooding over her measuring cup of coffee.

"Um."

"You saw that woman, too? ... The Scottish companion."

"No. When I got there, Scot was dead. It was Ley who killed him, and perhaps he saw her."

"Lei?" Shirley's face turned pale.

"I heard that you have a good relationship with him? It seems that you were the one who introduced him to the organization in the beginning," Akiyama Kanade looked at Shirley and said slowly, "He is very capable. You have found a good helper for the organization."

Shirley's face turned even paler, and she exhaled, "He's my sister's boyfriend... He's not that kind of person to me."

Akiyama Kanade laughed, "Not that kind of person? Shirley, do you think I'm not that kind of person? Then you're probably wrong."

Shirley took a step back, her buttocks hitting the edge of the table. The dark-haired man moved closer until he had her trapped between the table and his body with his arms.

He was very tall, and from this angle, she had to look up at him.

"Listen, don't look for friendship and warmth in the organization, otherwise you will fall badly." He touched her hair and said in a low voice, "Even me, don't trust it easily."

Shirley's body was trembling slightly.

Akiyama Kanade didn't want to scare her, but in the quagmire of the organization, she must learn to protect herself. Dependence and trust are both dangerous words.

In order to leave enough time and space for Shirley, Akiyama Kanade did not stay in the research institute all day. He just found a hotel and slept for a day.

The dreams kept coming one after another, but the body still didn't get much repaired.

It seems that one will recover faster if one is around someone with a higher level of soul purity.

Akiyama Kanade thought about the possibility that he would appear at Shirley's bedside in the middle of the night and scare the little girl to tears, and then gave up the idea conscientiously. In fact, the soul purity of Lei and Bourbon is also very good, but Bourbon is sad and it is not good to disturb him; tying Lei is a good idea.

But Akiyama Kanade had somewhere else to go tonight.

A qualified secret admirer hasn't seen the object of his deep love for almost a month. It is reasonable that he can't stand the pain of missing the person and climbs into bed with the person in the middle of the night, right?

Besides, those police officers are always suspicious. If he doesn't go there for a long time, it would be bad if they think Blue Orange Wine has fallen in love with someone else.

Akiyama Kanade decided to put on a big show tonight for the public security officers who were monitoring and protecting Matsuda Jinpei.

He prepared the necessary props.

Sleeping Beauty, here I come!
