Chapter 60: New Year's Eve in the Temple 5

The sound of gunfire shattered what should have been a peaceful night.

After being briefly caught off guard, members of the group quickly launched a counterattack.

The densely packed bullets covered the direction of Matsuda Jinpei like a big net.

The pistol that Matsuda Jinpei was equipped with was a basic model for the Japanese police, with only a dozen bullets in total. He did not bring a replacement magazine, and it was very difficult to cope with such a dense attack. Moreover, he had to divide his attention to protect the injured Kyushu Haruki.

Akiyama Zougu had no choice but to pretend to be weak and demonstrated on the spot what a medical miracle was.

The black-haired man climbed out of the snow. He performed such a simple movement in an astonishing way, seeming extremely weak yet concealing a murderous beauty.

Gray eyes reflected the cold light of the white snow.

He loaded the gun, and bullets flew out of the air, without missing a single shot, each one hitting the target's arm or thigh.

These people are all outsiders of the organization and cannot be said to have done anything evil.

Unless necessary, Akiyama Kanade did not want to harm his life.

But he would never watch these people hurt Matsuda Jinpei.

"What are you doing!?"

The view suddenly spun, and the dark and cold night was replaced by the angry eyes of Jinpei Matsuda.

He was pulled against the trunk of a tree by the other party. The thick tree obscured his figure.

The gunfire stopped for a moment. The cold mountain wind was still howling and swirling around the treetops.

"…I'm fighting back." Akiyama Kanade said blankly, not understanding what had suddenly happened to Matsuda Jinpei.

The curly-haired police officer gritted his teeth and cursed, "How can you fight back like that? Didn't I tell you to wait for me?"

Gun. In a battle, no matter which side is behind cover, they will look for opportunities to launch attacks. How could he be like this, standing there without dodging or avoiding, as if as long as the attack is successful, it doesn't matter if he dies.

He really didn't think about living.

He has no expectations for the future.

The more he realized this, the angrier Matsuda became.

"…I'm afraid they might hurt you."

The grey eyes blinked cautiously.

Matsuda Jinpei was immediately deflated.

All that is majestic, complex and surging is compressed into a heart.

He cursed again in annoyance: "Are you stupid? You can be fooled by a pair of sunglasses!"

When he returned to his bedroom, he ran into his good friend Rei Furuya at the door. The two had just parted ways unhappily because of Kyushu Haruki, and Matsuda Jinpei had not given him a good look.

Furiya Ling was helpless and didn't say anything more about Kyushu Haruki. He just asked him to wait in a room in the backyard for a while, as he had something very important to say.

Although Jinpei Matsuda was still angry about what happened just now, he knew that his friend was probably carrying out some secret mission. If Zero needed help, he would not frown even if it cost him his life.

But when he was leaving, Ling suddenly took away his sunglasses.

It's just a pair of sunglasses, he can give Zero any amount he wants.

But why sunglasses?

Matsuda Jinpei did not wait in the backyard as Furiya Rei had instructed, but hid in the dark and waited.

He really didn't want to use his anti-detection abilities on his friends.

There was even a moment when I resented my own powerful reasoning ability for laying out the truth before my eyes without any denial.

"You must stay alive, Haru."

He didn't want to think about those positions and right and wrong for the time being. This was the only thing that was extremely clear at this moment.

There was a fire burning in the curly-haired police officer's eyes, brighter than any other light in the world.

He forced those grey eyes to meet his, and used his body to block them firmly, not allowing any possibility of injury to pass him by.

"You have to stay alive," he repeated.

"What a moving scene." Amoruso clapped his hands and slowly emerged from the darkness. He smiled brightly and seemed to be truly moved by the scene.

The purple peach blossom eyes were cold and lifeless.

After receiving his order, the members of the organization temporarily stopped the attack and disappeared into the darkness again.

Matsuda Jinpei blocked Kyusho Haruki behind him and looked at him. The curly-haired police officer frowned, "It's you—"

No matter how many times I see it, I always feel that this face and this aura are very similar to Hagi.

That also made a deep impression on him.

"Huh? Mr. Officer, you actually remember me?" The man pretended to be flattered and surprised, and then winked. "Well, I'm also impressed by Mr. Officer - I wonder if Mr. Officer is interested in sleeping with me?"

The member of the organization who was lying in ambush in the dark became restless and asked the person next to him in a low voice, "Master Amoruso, have you forgotten your business?"

He still remembered the heroic manner in which Lord Amoruso had robbed Lei, plus the countless victories this playboy had in the past... It was really worrying!

The companion who was covering his injured arm was silent suspiciously, and then said with certainty: "Master Amoruso is very reliable when he is doing his job! This policeman knows the existence of the organization, so he can't be kept alive!"

"As long as you sleep with me, I will let you go."

Member No. 1 & Companion: "..."

Amoruso continued, "Ah, but you can't let the guy next to you go. He's my number one enemy, and I'm going to chop him into pieces and feed his body to the dogs."

Matsuda Jinpei still stood in front of Kyushu Haruki, staring at Amoruso's face, "Seeing this face talking like this... I really want to destroy it."

"Come on, officer." Amoruso smiled and shook his injured arm. "I don't care if you hurt me... It's okay to sleep with me, right? I will be gentle to you."

Amo Lu Zou was deliberately provoking Matsuda Jinpei.

After tonight, the identity of Kyushu Haruki will no longer be hidden - Akiyama Kanade has no doubt that the excellent Officer Matsuda has a pair of eyes that can see through the truth.

He will know the evil side of Jiu Sheng Chun Shu and know that he is a poisonous snake that crawled out from the abyss of darkness.

But given Officer Matsuda's kindness, his imagination may not be able to reach the dirtiest part of Kyushu Haruki.

By that time, there was no way he would be willing to help him.

This is Akiyama Kanade's last chance.

After tonight, they were bound to go their separate ways.

Whether he succeeds or not, this will be the last time he deceives Officer Matsuda.

As expected, Matsuda Jinpei said to Kyushu Haruki, "Hide and don't interfere!", and then he raised his fist to face Amoruso.

Amoluzou showed no mercy this time. The police were still lurking in the dark, so in order to prevent any unexpected changes, he even skipped the disguise and burst out with all his strength. With only three moves, he grabbed Matsuda Jinpei's neck and forced his back against the tree trunk.

He only left Matsuda Jinpei with a tiny bit of breathing space.

The rapid loss of oxygen caused Matsuda Jinpei's thoughts and vision to become blurry and sluggish.

...Is this person ridiculously strong?

He saw Spring approaching.

don't want.

Don't come over here.

Run away!

The throat cannot produce a scream.

Member No. 1 whispered: "I told you that Lord Amoruso is very reliable!"

Member 1: “…”

You weren't like that just now.

"Let him go." Jiu Sheng Chun Shu's voice was hoarse. His white clothes were stained with blood.

There was a biting coldness in those grey eyes.

"Or I'll kill you."

Member No. 1 continued in a low voice: "...Although Blue Curacao" he swallowed the word "adult" and "was injured, it's still very scary. I heard that he eats people... Does this mean that the prettier the person, the more dangerous he is?"

Companion: "Don't believe in rumors, don't spread rumors."

"Let him go?" Amoruso deliberately moved closer to Matsuda Jinpei, and their necks overlapped, as if kissing.

The group of organization members who have already entered the state of watching the show.

Member No. 3 joined the group chat: "Lord Amoruso, are you trying to provoke me?"

Member number four remained silent before commenting: "If I'm not mistaken, is Lord Blue Orange Wine also interested in this policeman?"

Is this a common hobby among the top management?

"Let me put it this way," Amoruso said in a negotiating tone, "I'm not unreasonable... It's rare to see you care so much about someone, Blue Curacao. How can I not express my gratitude?"

"Three years ago, you were hit by a bullet, and one of your legs hasn't fully healed yet. Why don't you break the other one today? If you do it, I'll let him go immediately."

"No...you can't..." The curly-haired police officer struggled to pry open the hand that was pinching his throat, and red marks appeared on his fair neck. His voice was like a ball of sand rubbing his ears.

He almost wanted to beg for spring.

Absolutely not.

He would rather die like this than have Chun sacrifice herself for him again.

Breaking his pride once again.

Haru wouldn't be that stupid.

This is obviously a lie.

But he also realized clearly that he was the one being held hostage at the moment.

And spring always flutters toward him like a moth.

"…You'd better keep your word."

Jinpei Matsuda closed his eyes.

A gunshot.

Fūya Rei put away his sniper rifle and said into the communicator: "The target has lost the ability to move, take action!"

Fortunately I caught up.

He breathed a sigh of relief, his expression mixed.

Matsuda actually went to such lengths for Blue Orange Wine—he automatically ignored what Blue Orange Wine had done for Matsuda... He almost lost his last good friend.

It was just for such a guy.

He clenched his fists secretly.

Everything happened in a flash.

The sniper shot from the dark was aimed at Amoruso's weak spot; he avoided the fatal spot and relaxed his grip on Matsuda Jinpei; the curly-haired police officer fell to the snow; the white figure rushed to the two men at a speed that was almost impossible for the human eye to capture; Amoruso was seriously injured by the sniper shot and his reaction became slow; a dagger was inserted into his heart, and he shot the opponent in the abdomen at the same time.

It's all over.

Although there were some twists and turns, the Amoruso account was finally taken offline by Blue and Orange Wine.

Akiyama Kanade showed a sincere smile on his face.

This was the smile that appeared when Jinpei Matsuda coughed and stood up from the snow.

Like a white flower blooming briefly in the snow.

The black-haired man noticed his gaze, half-knelt on the ground, and stretched out a hand, with blood dripping from his slender pale fingertips. He paused, and his fingertips just stopped at his neck, almost touching it.

"...I'm sorry you got hurt." He said slowly.

This is a scar that was actually caused by him, although the other party did not know it.

He thought it best to apologize.

"Does it hurt?"

His fingertips moved gently down, touching the red marks on the other person's neck.

Beneath the two men, red blood soaked the white snow.
