Chapter 99 Artificial Weapons 35

Morobushi Kagemitsu placed the brewed black tea on the table and sat cross-legged on the tatami. The light from the computer screen illuminated the face that was frozen in time.

The blank period of more than three years was written on the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, and the short stubble on his chin was exactly the same length as it was on the night he died three years ago.

Should I shave off all my stubble? Just like welcoming a new life, Morofu Jingguang thought.

He had just changed his clothes, and there was still blood on his chest. On the way to the safe house, Ling was absent-minded. He looked at the blood on his chest, and then stared at the road ahead in a daze.

After nearly crashing into a tree for the third time, Zhufu Jingguang finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Zero, let me drive."

Even though this body has not been used for more than three years and inevitably has a sense of sluggishness due to disrepair, Morofushi Jingguang still feels that he is more coordinated than his current zero limbs.

Is his own resurrection, no, death such a huge impact on Zero?

It seems that there is more to it than that.

Zhu Fu Jingguang felt that his friend seemed to be hiding something from him.

Hearing Morofushi Kagemitsu's question, Fūya Rei withdrew his gaze from the car window.

He glanced at Morofu Jingguang who was driving, blinked his eyelashes gently, and then said "hmm" softly.

"So what is it?" Zhu Fu Jingguang asked gently. He quickly added: "If you don't want to say it, don't say it."

Jing is still the same, always tenderly considering other people's thoughts.

If it were a cherry, she would probably blink her ruby ​​eyes full of curiosity and thirst for knowledge, silently and eagerly waiting for him to defeat her.

"Tomorrow, I'll tell you tomorrow."

The fact that Zhufu Jingguang has been resurrected cannot be made public for the time being. Neither the organization nor the public security can let them know about this.

Fūya Rei is trying to come up with a suitable explanation for Morobushi Kagemitsu's reappearance. He must convince everyone that Kage is not dead, but has been hiding his identity due to some unexpected events.

Although this matter is troublesome, it is not difficult to do.

Before that, Jing must hide his identity.

Furiya Rei had learned some disguise techniques from Sakura, which came in handy now.

Furiya Rei asked Morobushi Keimitsu to drive the car to the safe house where Sakura had lived for a long time. He knew the address by heart.

After a brief exchange, Zero began to lose focus again. Morofushi Kagemitsu felt that he needed to cheer him up, and he searched his brains for a topic to talk about.

"By the way, Ling, is there any food in the safe house you mentioned? I'm really hungry. Ling and I had agreed to eat together that night, but in the end..."

As a result, he had to commit suicide because his identity was exposed.

Morofushi Kagemitsu stopped talking with difficulty when he saw Furuya Rei looking at him.

Uh, his brain must have slept for too long and is not functioning well, why would he bring up this matter!

Zero's gaze began to look at the blood on his chest again!

"…I'm sorry. That was all I could do at the time."

Furiya Ling shook his head. "I don't blame you." He paused. "If I were in that situation, I would do the same."

That's what undercover means.

Morobushi Kagemitsu smiled, "But I am really happy to see that Zero is still fine three years later."

This proves that his choice was right. At least he didn't get his friends into trouble.

Furiya Rei also smiled, "I'm happy too... I can see you again."

His voice grew hoarse.

After a brief silence, Furuya Rei continued, "If you're hungry, there's a lot of udon noodles in the safe house. I'll make it for you... I'm very good at making this now."

"Eh? Udon?" Morobushi Kagemitsu smiled. "I remember that you didn't like udon very much before. Don't you like ramen more than udon? You always order an extra portion of pork bone and Naruto roll."

He was talking about something that happened many years ago. From junior high school to entering the police academy, Zero has always had this habit.

Rei Furuya said nothing.

The consequence of the three-year gap is that Zhu Fu Jingguang is somewhat unable to keep up with the development of the times.

In just three years, the world's technology has changed so much that Zhu Fu Jingguang feels like a caveman entering the feudal era. He borrowed Zero's computer and used it to supplement the information of the past three years. This kind of thing could have been completed faster with Zero's help.

But... maybe Zero was really tired. Morobushi Kagemitsu watched helplessly as his friend bumped into the corner of the cabinet and fainted.

The young man with cat eyes couldn't help laughing out loud.

This is zero.

Although he is excellent, he is also a master at causing trouble.

Instead of being calm and cautious, with a cautious look in his eyes, he is an undercover public security agent who is carrying a heavy burden and moving forward with difficulty.

Morofu Jingguang sat in front of the computer until dawn. He stretched his back, picked up the cup and drank a sip of tea.

Furutani Rei walked out of the bedroom, put one hand on his forehead and frowned slightly.

The wound on his forehead was treated by Morofushi Jingguang last night, and it is now tied with a white bandage.

"Good morning." Morofu Jingguang greeted with a smile.

The blond young man looked a little dazed. He pressed his forehead and sat down on the tatami next to Morobushi Kagemitsu. His voice was hoarse from just waking up, "Good morning."

"Jing." He suddenly called Zhufu Jingguang's name, put down his hand and looked at the other person carefully for a while, then hesitantly reached out and pulled his face.

Morofushi Kagemitsu: "..."

He muttered, "It's real leather, don't pull it, it will hurt."

"Oh, sorry." Furiya Rei calmly let go, "I want to feel the skin of someone three years younger than me. I'm sorry if I hurt you."

Morofushi Kagemitsu: "..."

Didn’t you promise not to bear grudges, not to be angry, and not to blame me?

However, he looked at his friend's expression and saw that he seemed to be much better after a good sleep.

Zhu Fu Jingguang prepared to settle the accounts with confidence, his eyes became sharp.

"Zero, I have something to ask you."

Furiya Zero looked at him in confusion.

"When I was treating your wound last night, I noticed that a lot of medicines were used up in the medicine box. Do you get injured often? And when you get injured, you don't go to the hospital, but just bandage it yourself."

Although he often does this, Furuya Rei still responds calmly: "The medicine in the medicine box is not for me to use."

He did not lie to his friend. The medicine in the medicine box was definitely not for his own use.

Zhu Fu Jingguang was skeptical, "Who is using that? Didn't you say that this safe house is your private safe house?"

Rei Furuya said calmly, "He's a fool who always hurts himself. His code name in the organization is Cherry Brandy..." Seeing his friend's eyes suddenly widen, Rei Furuya was very satisfied after successfully scaring him, "But he's different from other members of the organization, he's very well behaved."

Morobushi Jingguang had a complicated expression, "Zero, do you know that the tone and expression you just spoke were a little abnormal? Now there are only two of us, you don't have to make Bourbon."

Fūya Rei: “…”

He glared at her, "Do you still want to listen?"

Morofushi Jingguang smiled and said, "Where is he? The good Cherry Brandy you mentioned?"

Fūya Rei suddenly frowned and covered his head. Morofuku Kagemitsu suppressed his smile and nervously moved closer to take a look at the injured forehead. "Did you fall too hard? Otherwise, we should go to the hospital for a thorough check-up..."

Fūya Rei shook his head, motioning to his friend to sit back down, saying that he was fine.

"I was just thinking about something and my head suddenly hurt. It's nothing now."

Zhufu Jingguang showed a look of disapproval, "I wanted to say this yesterday, Ling, are you putting too much pressure on yourself? You don't even know how distracted you were yesterday."

"Sorry, sorry." Furiya Ling put down his hand and smiled relaxedly, "Don't worry, it's okay."

"I guess I was just too happy to see Jing yesterday."

His relaxed demeanor didn't seem fake, and Morofu Jingguang felt relieved.

"What was it that you said you were going to tell me yesterday?"

Furugaya Rei frowned and pressed his forehead again, then said after a while, "I can't remember some of it, probably not something important. Oh, it seems to be related to cherry blossoms."

"Cherry?" Morofushi Jingguang repeated the name, "Cherry Brandy?"

Furuya Rei paused, pressed his forehead and said slowly: "He seemed to tell me...he returned to his hometown, and told me not to worry about him."

"Isn't that great?"

Furiya Rei was stunned and said "hmm" slowly.

Why do I feel like I've forgotten something?

"That's fine."

Move the hand that is pressing your forehead down and press on your chest.

There was a trace of confusion on the blond young man's face, as if something incomprehensible had occurred.

"Although I have never met this person, since Zero also recognized him, he must be a very good person."

Morofushi Kagemitsu looked at Furugaya Rei in surprise and shook his head.

"He cannot be simply defined as good or bad."

"If that's the case, I really want to meet him." said Morobushi Kagemitsu.

"That's probably not possible," said Furuya Ling with a smile. "In order to escape the organization, he faked his own death. Now even I don't know where he is hiding."

Morobushi Jingguang joked: "If that's the case, I can only see him after the organization is completely destroyed?"

Furuya Rei's purple-gray eyes sparkled, "That day won't be too late."

Zhu Fu Jingguang raised the corners of his lips.

"But for your safety, Jing, you should not get involved. You just hide here, and I will...I will take good care of you."

Morofushi Jingguang's smile froze.

"…Zero, don't you realize that you are a bit too controlling now?"

What on earth have I experienced in these three years?

How could Zero's previous partner bear this?

Furiya Ling smiled awkwardly, but his attitude was still firm, "I have to make sure that Jing has no sequelae."

Knowing how to get along with his childhood sweetheart, Morobu Jingguang did not refute him.

It was almost noon, and the sun was very hot. The heat wave of midsummer made the trees droop. Standing at the window, Zhu Fu Jingguang saw a sea of ​​sunflowers in the yard, rippling with beautiful golden waves.

Through the window I could hear the sound of cicadas chirping, one louder than the other, as if the summer heat was blowing towards me.

Morofushi Kagemitsu symbolically fanned a few times with his palm.

"Hmm?" He suddenly uttered a sound of surprise from his throat.

Fūya Rei followed his friend's gaze.

It was midsummer, and a cicada died on the windowsill.

The days of midsummer were long, and Fūya Rei suddenly thought that tomorrow would also be long.

And boring.

It would be nice if the cherry trees came back soon.
