Chapter 117 Until the Sea Turns Blue - Nightmare He remembers what he clearly...
In the end, he didn't know what time or how he fell asleep.
But he wasn't naturally sober.
He heard a sob.
The sob jolted him awake, and it took him a moment to remember where he was.
He got off the bed a little dazed and walked to the girl.
Her black hair was scattered, and she was curled up in a baby's position, hugging the quilt tightly, with her eyes closed, but her tears wet the sheets.
——Looks particularly fragile.
Amuro Toru couldn't help but hold his breath.
Are you having a nightmare?
As he thought about it, he felt that the fragile Lin Xi was in stark contrast to her confident and lively self when she was sober.
He didn't rush to wake her up, but hesitated for a moment -
He wasn't sure if the girl would be embarrassed by being aroused like this.
Generally, people who have nightmares are because they are too worried about something, so the things they care about in real life are reflected in their dreams.
Toru Amuro himself has had nightmares many times.
But as an undercover agent, he couldn't share his nightmares with anyone. That was why he wasn't used to sleeping with someone.
He was afraid of dreaming that he couldn't tell the secret.
What about Lin Xi? She also seemed to be full of secrets.
The fact that she had nightmares only added to the mystery surrounding her.
Amuro Toru thought about it and leaned over to observe the girl.
He noticed that her hands were gripping the quilt tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force.
He frowned.
"Lin Xi?" he called softly.
No response.
The girl is trapped in a nightmare.
Her lips moved, and she suddenly said "no" clearly.
Amuro Toru stared at her.
What are you rejecting?
In her dream, was anyone forcing her to do anything?
This clear rejection was full of calmness, completely different from her fragile appearance, as if this was the underlying color beneath her soft exterior.
There wasn't even any emotion in it, even though she was crying now—it was just a pure judgment:
No.
"No what?" asked Toru Amuro softly.
The undercover agent with excellent professional qualities will not miss any opportunity to obtain information, even if the girl's current appearance does look... pitiful.
"Don't do it."
The girl continued, "I don't like it."
Amuro Toru was stunned.
Get started...
This word is not very nice.
It's easy to think of a killer in training.
He thought for a moment and continued to ask:
"Why don't you like it?"
“…It’s so ugly.”
The girl continued to speak calmly, even a little indifferently.
But Toru Amuro noticed that her tears were flowing even more violently.
Toru Amuro: "..."
How could there be such a person, who said he was indifferent but couldn't control his body's reaction?
Amuro Toru didn't understand. After all, he had never stood next to someone's sofa and watched them have a nightmare before.
"Go to sleep."
He said finally.
He convinced himself that asking any more would lead to nothing more. If he asked too much and woke her up, it would only make things awkward.
As if she heard his words, the girl quieted down and no longer held the quilt tightly as before.
He reached out, gently freed the girl's quilt from her hands, tucked it in for her, and then watched her curl up into the quilt and wrap herself into a ball.
He returned to bed, closed his eyes, and made a note in his schedule—
Find out the secret of Lin Xi.
Duration... unknown.
Tentatively indefinite.
.
Time returns to daytime.
After leaving the clinic with poor signal, the anxious Hideo Kawashima anxiously contacted his "allies".
He finally got in touch with them and was startled by the bombardment of messages his phone finally received.
Kuroiwa Tatsuji: [Where have you been? Kawashima!!!]
【Why don’t you reply to the message! 】
"The factory was... Never mind. I'll have Hirata come find you later."
Kazuaki Hirata is Kuroiwa Tatsuji's secretary.
And Nishimoto Ken's:
What on earth did you do?!
Someone is always watching us.
【Everything is destroyed, we will all die...】
【We need to meet. 】
Kawashima Hideo: ...
Ken Nishimoto has become mysterious since the death of Isamu Kameyama three years ago.
But he was right—
They need to meet.
He typed:
【Come on, let’s go to your house. 】
Then he sent a message to Kuroiwa Tatsuji: [Meet at Nishimoto's house.]
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the growing sun, he frowned and quickened his pace.
.
10:40 am.
Kenie Nishimoto.
"What's that smell, Xiben, you're so..."
Hideo Kawashima covered his nose.
Ken Nishimoto's home was filled with the smell of rotting food and the stench of someone who hadn't taken a shower for a long time.
Kawashima secretly felt disgusted.
Ken Nishimoto, him, Tatsuji Kuroiwa, Isamu Kameyama... and Keiji Aso, they were all friends who grew up together on Tsukikage Island, and they were close friends in their childhood and could talk about anything.
But ever since that incident...
Hideo Kawashima felt unlucky whenever he thought about that incident.
Also, this guy Nishimoto Ken is also...
Ever since Kameyama Isamu died three years ago, this guy's personality has changed drastically, from a playboy to a taciturn guy who just stays at home and escapes reality.
I heard that his condition has worsened recently and he has also suffered from depression. Those who once surrounded him because of his power have also left him one after another.
whispering sound……
When Hideo Kawashima thought of this, he frowned deeply.
If Ken Nishimoto wasn't one of the insiders, he would have wanted to stay away from him like those people.
Look at what he has done to the place where he lives.
How long has it been since this lunch box was cleaned? There's garbage all over the floor...
Is this where people live?
This guy clearly has the money to hire a nanny, but he's afraid of socializing and insists on living alone...
Kuroiwa Tatsuji had the same idea as him.
He covered his nose, feeling equally disgusted with his childhood friend.
Bad luck, he thought.
Why did Kawashima want to meet here?
The two of them came to Ken Nishimoto's bedroom.
The door of Ken Nishimoto's bedroom was not closed.
The decadent man was sitting on the bed. After hearing their voices, he raised his chaotic, bloodshot eyes and looked at them.
"Nishimoto Ken!" Kawashima Hideo shouted, "Come out quickly! We need to discuss what to do next..."
Kuroiwa Tatsuji: "What else can I say about him?"
Kawashima Hideo: "He is also an insider. If we want to leave this island completely, we must take him with us as well."
Kuroiwa Tatsuji: “It hasn’t come to that yet!”
Kawashima Hideo: "Humph, those rabble have already occupied our factory! You don't expect those controlled idiots to keep their mouths shut, do you?"
"We'll be exposed sooner or later. We need to be prepared, Black Rock!"
Kuroiwa Tatsuji: "...Have you told 'that person'?"
Hideo Kawashima let out a long sigh.
"As you know, his current situation is special, so there will be a delay in contacting him. This happened suddenly, and I can't contact him..."
"Someone must be secretly pushing this thing," Kuroiwa Tatsuji concluded. "Everything happened so quickly, and one thing led to another. You were knocked unconscious, attention was drawn, and we couldn't contact you, and then something happened at the factory. The fishermen also got the news early. The factories here have been designated."
Just as Kawashima Hideo was about to respond, he saw the silent Nishimoto Ken, as if triggered by a keyword, shouting in fear:
"Someone is watching us from behind! Always! They've been watching us since three years ago!"
"Everyone will die... We will all die..."
“…Calm down!”
Kawashima Hideo was startled, and then said impatiently, "You look like a witch now, Nishimoto!"
Nishimoto Ken: "You all don't believe me? Everything I say is true!"
"The problem is that twelve years ago, we shouldn't have..."
"Shut up!" Kuroiwa Tatsuji suddenly flew into a rage. "If you hadn't taken action back then, how could such a big mess have happened, and you still have us cleaning up your mess!"
At this point, he couldn't control his mouth anymore. Ignoring Kawashima Hideo's attempts to stop him, he rushed over to Nishimoto Ken and shouted, "Not only did Aso Keiji stop delivering drugs to us, but you also pursued him relentlessly and killed his wife... We had no choice but to go all out and kill his entire family!"
"Wasn't it all because of you that things turned out the way they did?!"
Nishimoto Ken's pupils contracted.
"W-What did you say?" he muttered. "I did it? I caused all this?"
Kuroiwa Tatsuji was about to continue speaking when he was stopped by Kawashima Hideo who noticed that Nishimoto Ken was not in good condition.
"Nishimoto, you--" Kawashima Hideo walked forward, and before he could finish his words, he saw Nishimoto Ken take out a gun from under his pillow.
So he took a sharp turn mid-sentence: "—Calm down!"
Then raise your hands skillfully in surrender.
Stay calm and speak nicely.
Kuroiwa, that idiot! It's ok that Nishimoto Ken gets emotional easily, but why is he so excited?!
He was not surprised that Ken Nishimoto was armed.
After all, he used to be the main force of their Yueying Island Fengtan Group. Even though he is semi-retired now, it is not surprising that he has one or two weapons at home.
But before Hideo Kawashima came, he didn't expect that Ken Nishimoto would point a gun directly at him.
His hair stood on end and cold sweat broke out on his back.
He always felt that something was wrong with Ken Nishimoto.
It's not like I haven't seen him before. He was always depressed, taciturn, and unwilling to see people... Why did he suddenly change his personality now? Not only did he take the initiative to ask them to meet, but he also talked so much and was so excited...
This is not like him.
"Calm down, Nishimoto... It was an accident back then, none of us were at fault." Kawashima Hideo possessed the qualities of a skilled politician, and lying openly was a familiar tactic. "If anyone is to blame, it's Aso himself who refused to cooperate. We had no other choice but to do what we did."
"Now put the gun down and let's talk, okay?"
In response, he was given a miserable laugh by Ken Nishimoto.
"Do you think the ghost who came back to seek revenge on us will let us go? It's useless. No one can escape."
"Even now, that ghost is in this room with us, listening to us!" he roared, like a madman. "Instead of letting him kill us one by one, we will do it ourselves - end it ourselves - and you will thank me!"
After saying that, he pulled the trigger.
Hideo Kawashima was shot in the chest, his expression was confused, as if he had not yet figured out what was happening, and he slowly fell to the ground.
Kuroiwa Tatsuji on the side was stunned.
"What are you doing, Xiben, you..."
Ken Nishimoto ignored him and fired several shots at Hideo Kawashima on the ground, killing him to the point of no return, and then turned to aim at Tatsuji Kuroiwa.
“Crazy!”
Kuroiwa Tatsuji shouted and turned around to dodge the gun, but was still hit in the arm.
He rushed forward and tried to snatch the weapon, but unexpectedly, Ken Nishimoto grinned and pointed the gun at himself.
"Hahaha, this last bullet... is for myself!"
After hearing what he said, Kuroiwa Tatsuji realized that the type of magazine that Nishimoto Ken was holding could only hold seven bullets, and he had already used six bullets to kill Kawashima Hideo.
This is the last shot.
Bang!
Without giving him a chance to speak again, Nishimoto Ken opened his mouth, swallowed the gun barrel, and pulled the trigger.
He fell backward, his blood and brains splattering against his bedroom wall.
The strong smell of blood, rotting food, and the sour smell of sweat mixed together and gradually filled the entire house.
Kuroiwa Tatsuji stared blankly at the two bodies lying on the ground, with only one thought swirling in his mind:
He remembered that he clearly did nothing, right?
