Chapter 86: Push it, Sisyphus - Suicide Please change the lines...
An external member of the organization actually hid behind a building at the intersection and shot them.
NPCs like this who don't show their faces in the plot are displayed on the system map just like passers-by, just inconspicuous gray dots.
So Lin Xi didn't notice this NPC.
As they were about to cross the street, he suddenly pulled out a gun and shot them.
Lin Xi reacted quickly, she quickly turned sideways and the bullet passed through her hair.
This member of the organization certainly didn't recognize Punch. He didn't recognize the iconic red hair, and he was quite courageous. He was not afraid of the motorcycle that was coming straight at him and fired at the two people on it.
Lin Xi pulled out her pistol and fired a shot at him, then rushed out on her motorcycle. But she could already feel the hand holding her shoulder slowly loosening.
Death came so quickly that Zhu Fu Jingguang didn't even have time to say a word to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi saw the unstoppable bleeding from his waist and abdomen, and knew that he must have been shot several times by the organization member just now.
[Completed…]
While the system was still slowly generating the task text, Lin Xi quickly clicked on the load button.
So she returned to the familiar rooftop she had been to half an hour ago.
Before Zhu Fujingguang went upstairs.
Lin Xi pressed his solar plexus with a headache, feeling upset at his own negligence.
The time from when she received the mission prompt to when she came here was too short.
It was so short that she didn't have time to prepare for many things...
The safest way would be for her and Zhu Fu Jingguang to disguise themselves and sneak out together, but the time was too short and there was no time to disguise themselves.
At this point, I have no choice but to "abuse" my power a little.
Using Punch's identity, she sent a message to the peripheral members of the organization surrounding the outside, asking them to retreat and that she would deal with the undercover agent personally.
As soon as she sent the message, she received a message from Gin: [? ]
Her head hurt even more when she read the message.
That's why she didn't use Punch's identity to order the organization members to leave from the beginning.
Gin knew her too well, aware of her lazy nature. When it came to things like undercover agents or traitors among her staff, she would simply wave her hand and not bother to intervene at all—unless she was particularly interested in the person, or had some ulterior motive, then she would disrupt Gin's original plans.
Although Lin Xi herself was unwilling to admit the source of her "interest" and "desire to cause trouble", Gin knew that she was soft-hearted.
Although she knew that Gin understood her, Lin Xi would feel embarrassed if she always showed this side of herself.
Especially in front of Gin.
I always feel that it damages my image as a cold and majestic boss.
Right now... I feel incredibly embarrassed. Lin Xi covered her face, looked up dejectedly, and replied, "Xiaoqin, I want to handle this myself."
Look at how sincere her tone is, so let's not delve into the reasons why she's here, right?
【Whatever you want.】
...It's over.
Just as Gin understands Lin Xi, Lin Xi also understands Gin.
She knew Gin's temper as well as she knew a cat's temper. She knew when a cat was safe and would not scratch people, and she also knew when he would get angry.
An answer like this is a sign that he is angry.
In fact, Gin was indeed angry.
But he was not angry for the reason Lin Xi imagined.
He always knew that Lin Xi was soft-hearted and obsessed with looks, otherwise why would he take him away from the laboratory twenty-five years ago?
But this guy, not only was he soft-hearted, but he also went up to him and continued to contact him even though he knew he was an undercover agent...
Did she think she could stay out of it forever and not get hurt?
She didn't know that at that time...
Gin closed his eyes and suppressed the chaotic memories that surged from the depths of his mind.
[Don't worry, Xiaoqin, don't you know me yet?] The person on the other end seemed to know what he was thinking and replied to the message in an attempt to reassure him.
【I will do the job, don't worry! 】
...Don't worry at all.
Gin looked at his hands.
It was a strong, adult male's hand, no longer as tender as it had been many years ago.
As a blade, he is already sharp enough, so why not use him more?
.
Lin Xi met Zhu Fu Jingguang for the second time on Tiantai.
This time, before he could speak, she put her index finger on her lips and made a hushing sound, then lifted up the clothes on his left arm and bandaged him.
The damn system doesn't return items when you roll back, and every bandage you use up is one less.
Zhu Fu Jingguang was a little surprised.
When he saw Punch, many thoughts flashed through his mind, including what Punch would do to him. But he didn't expect that he would think like this, to bandage him right away.
Moreover, he always felt that Punch's actions carried a hint of...anxiety?
"You..." He started hesitantly. Although he didn't know why Punch reacted like that, he still obediently let the girl do what she wanted.
"how?"
“…Kill me.”
"Why do you always say this? Let me change it. I don't like this opening line."
"I'm an undercover agent..."
"I knew it earlier."
"Senior, you will bring trouble to yourself if you do this..."
"If it's interesting enough, a little trouble is acceptable." Lin Xi sighed, "It's just that I just found that saving you seems to be more troublesome than I thought."
"So, Senior, you kill—"
"—But this trouble has nothing to do with you, Shu... Hoo, Shirakawa-kun. This is my own choice. I want to fight the plot myself. To be honest, you are the one who was dragged into this."
After Lin Xi said this, an unspeakable silence fell between them.
Did she just want to say Zhu Fu?
Zhu Fujingguang thought vaguely that his identity had been completely exposed. If that was the case, would Brother Gao Ming be in danger?
He was with Punch that day, and she clearly knew Brother Gao Ming.
He remembered her commenting on their resemblance.
Did she know it then? Did she say those words deliberately to scare him? Well, her goal was achieved. I was really scared at that time.
He dropped his eyes.
Lin Xi was almost a head shorter than him. From his angle, he could see her long eyelashes fluttering as she bandaged him with a focused look.
What are you thinking about now, Punch?
...Lin Xi now wants to sew his mouth shut.
What's going on! How could you let something slip?
It was all because Zhu Fu was so smart. She was used to calling him that, and the surname Zhu Fu was much smoother than Bai Chuan, which was why she blurted it out just now.
hateful……
"Okay, let's go," she pretended nothing happened, took out a pistol and put it in his hand, "Take this and get out of here."
"I've already called away the people at the intersection, so there's no one blocking us now."
She pulled Zhu Fu Jingguang and wanted to take him down the stairs.
But it couldn't pull.
"Shirakawa-kun?" she asked doubtfully.
"Senior, if you let me go without permission, you will be in trouble too, right?" Zhu Fu Jingguang lowered his head, and a shadow fell on his face.
He lowered his hand and stroked the gun that Lin Xi had just handed him.
Lin Xi was startled and was about to step forward, but Zhu Fu Jingguang reacted quickly, avoiding her hand, holding the gun in his uninjured right hand and pointing it at his temple.
Lin Xi cursed in his heart.
On the surface, he sneered, "What are you going to do, Shirakawa-kun? Let me watch your death curtain call?"
Punch was angry.
All the hidden thoughts are bright and beautiful.
It was the first time he saw her like this. He was a little surprised and couldn't help but smile. Then he felt the air pressure around the person opposite him become lower.
"We are enemies." He spoke slowly and clearly, not sure whether he was convincing himself or the person opposite him.
Or maybe neither, he just said what he had been thinking in his heart -
They are enemies. Enemies don't need extra feelings between each other. All bonds are built on one-sided deception, so -
Please treat him coldly.
Don't show mercy to your enemies, and don't put yourself in danger to save others.
He was thinking that if he and Punch had not met in the organization and not in such a capacity, they would definitely have become good friends.
Because this guy can always bring people super strong self-confidence and courage, making people feel that no matter what difficulties they face, as long as she is there, everything is not a problem.
It’s really fun to be with her.
Unfortunately... this may be an assumption that can only be made in dreams.
"Senior, you shouldn't be here."
Lin Xi gritted his teeth: "Why didn't they injure both of your arms?"
There's still one arm left for you to hold the gun.
"You're not cut out to be an undercover agent!" she exclaimed. "You're completely sentimental, indecisive, and hesitant. If I were your boss, you'd drive me crazy!"
"Put the gun down!"
Zhu Fu Jingguang smiled, but did not listen to Lin Xi's words. He still held the gun in his hand and slowly retreated to the edge of the rooftop.
Lin Xi stared at him, ready to rush forward to grab the gun at any time, but she found that although the man's left arm was injured, his right arm was very stable, leaving her no chance to rush forward.
"Senior, I'm really... glad to meet you."
He pressed his finger hard and pulled the trigger.
Lin Xi went back to the previous level directly.
She was so angry that she laughed.
Why! Waste her bandages!
Did you know that used items will not be returned when you replay the game?
The more you use it, the less it will be!
Next time she will never give him a weapon for self-defense!
And I'm glad to meet her... Come on, she's convinced by having him.
She returned to the rooftop.
Lin Xi took a deep breath and sent a message to the organization members according to the previous steps, but this time Gin didn't reply to her message, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
When Zhu Fu Jingguang went up to the rooftop again, Lin Xi put the gun to his forehead.
She finally discovered that Zhu Fu Jingguang was a bit stubborn.
Why was he so obsessed with his identity? If he knew one day that it was all just a game, that whether he was an undercover agent or an organization, he was just a part of the plot, wouldn't he find his obsession ridiculous?
Since gentle persuasion didn't work, she had to use a slightly rougher method to "force him to submit."
"Shirakawa Hiroshi." A smile appeared on her face. "You've deceived me for so long. Are you ready to pay the price?"
Then she saw the man in front of her was stunned for a moment, then looked at her gently and spoke -
Wait, could it be that sentence again——
"Kill me, Senior."
Lin Xi: ...
This idiot.
Why do some people want to escape by committing suicide when they encounter unsolvable conflicts?
She still said the same thing, this person is really not suitable to be an undercover agent.
If it was Shuichi Akai who came, he would have absolutely no sense of guilt at all. He would cheat her for food and drinks and information, and he would want to beat her head off every day... No, he would want to take her head off.
When Zhu Fujingguang saw that after he said this, the girl in front of him seemed to lose her energy, put down her gun, and lowered her head.
She took out a bandage and muttered, "This is the third one. I only have five of these props. If you get hurt again, there's nothing I can do. You'll just have to bear the pain on your own."
She pulled up the sleeve of Zhu Fujingguang's left arm and bandaged it skillfully.
Zhu Fujingguang tried to speak several times, but was interrupted mercilessly by Lin Xi: "I'm sorry, Shirakawa-kun, I have deprived you of your right to speak. Now you can only shut up and listen to my instructions!"
"If you're bored, you can imagine yourself as a big duck, quacking as soon as you open your mouth. In order to reduce the burden of sound pollution on Japanese urban residents, you have to be a well-mannered duck and understand the principle that silence is golden..."
"Or imagine yourself as a beautiful princess cursed by a vicious wizard. If you open your mouth, you will turn into a bird and fly away, never to return to the human world..."
Lin Xi was really afraid that he would speak again, so he kept talking about this and that, while Zhu Fu Jingguang was stunned by Lin Xi's strange words and little stories, and he really didn't say a word for a while.
He was taken into Lin Xi's car in a daze and crossed the intersection in front in a daze.
The wound on his left arm has almost healed and he can move it freely.
Lin Xi suddenly stopped talking and slammed on the brakes.
Zhu Fujingguang leaned forward suddenly and subconsciously hugged the girl's waist.
After coming back to his senses, he quickly let go: "What, what's wrong, senior?"
Lin Xi frowned: "There are a lot of policemen ahead."
She looked at the system map.
Although the system map never explained what the different colored dots represented, Lin Xi had figured out some patterns:
The gray dots are passerby NPCs, the blue ones are slightly more important neutral civilians, the red ones are wine, whether it is real wine or fake wine, it is red, and the green ones are armed civilians or good people, such as criminal police.
What does a bunch of green dots in front mean?
These green dots formed a faint circle in front, surrounding one or two blue dots.
Lin Xi had a bad feeling.
She had been wanting to ask, was this mission aimed at Zhu Fu Jingguang? Not only did all three options require his death, but he also encountered various problems along the way.
Even if the Japanese people were simple and honest, that was only after Conan appeared! Why is it so troublesome to just run around now?
"Uh, everyone, please don't go any further! There are dangerous terrorists on the road ahead. This road is about to be blocked. Please take a detour..."
The anxious and sweaty young policeman shouted in front of the crowd.
