12

Two days passed quickly, and Noel left the closed room with Dr. Murakami looking upset.

[Except for not having eaten for two days and not sleeping for one night, which was not very comfortable, everything else was fine. 】

However, despite this, Noel pretended to be decadent and uncomfortable on the surface. After all, if the organization knew that this method didn't work on him, they might have other means to deal with him. Therefore, although it seemed not as serious as before, the effect was still significant.

"I will kill you sooner or later." After leaving this annoying confinement room, Noel went to the organization's garage, pried open a car at random and left.

"So sleepy~ Am I considered tired of driving now?" Noel felt a headache. Of course, he couldn't really sleep, because Murakami would probably immediately realize that the confinement room had little effect on him. But to be honest, he really couldn't fall asleep under the scumbag's gaze of Murakami. It would be embarrassing if he woke up on the operating table.

[You are already a minor and driving with a fake license.]

"That's right. Having too much debt is not a big deal." Noel stepped on the accelerator skillfully and drove in one direction subconsciously.

It is now night, the evening of Tokyo in 1991. The brightly lit city scenery on both sides is still the same, and the huge neon lights are flashing dazzlingly, but the cold light can do nothing for the setting sun and can only maintain the illusory illusion.

Those who are unaware of the truth are having their final carnival, while those who know the truth are in great pain.

Noel drove slowly, looking around. This was a few pages of PPT from the economics class he took in his previous life. It was so nakedly displayed in front of him that he couldn't tell whether he was experiencing real history or seeing the illusory impact of the past.

Is this a comic book world...?

Noel did not dwell on this question for long. He was just a little confused and essentially did not want to think about philosophical and complicated questions.

When the car passed the bridge, Noel saw several people preparing to jump into the water. Of course, he couldn't be so kind as to save them. After all, the impact of the economic bubble would not improve until at least 2005, and it was unlikely that these people would survive for another 14 years.

“But I feel like I can give them some advice, like if you enter the water here you might end up floating on the shore and getting caught in a net by fishermen?”

【That’s not necessary. 】

Then the atmosphere in the car fell silent.

It was a long time before Xiao Hei heard Noel ask him in an uncertain tone,

"Did you forget something, Xiao Hei?"

【Forgot what? 】

Xiao Hei's spirit was still low. After all, he had been dragged aside to chat for two days, which was simply mental torture.

Noel pulled out his mobile phone with his right hand. The cold notification interface that usually only had Gin or Mr. on it was now filled with calls from people with the note "Xiaoguang".

“I’ll go!”

Forgot the policeman you kept at home.

"Hey, Xiaoguang..." Noel's tone was full of guilt, but fortunately the whistling of the wind in his ears masked it a little. Even so, after hearing the other party's voice, Noel was frightened to death.

"These two days... forget it, you have no obligation to answer me." The policeman on the other end of the phone spoke in a gentle tone, so Noel couldn't hear anything.

"Come back for dinner?" he just asked at last.

"Um."

The hunger from not having eaten for two days suddenly came over me, and the feeling that I used to take for granted now seemed particularly aggrieved.

"Then I'll get ready now." Morobushi Jingguang hung up after saying this, leaving Noel on the other side listening to the beeping sound of the phone in a trance.

"Xiao Hei." Noel suddenly spoke, leaving Xiao Hei a little confused.

"I kidnapped him here, so he's mine."

The wording of this sentence was very strange, which made Xiao Hei realize something immediately, and his tone was a little terrified.

【Wait, what do you want to do? 】

"I don't want it back, it's mine."

After saying this ambiguous sentence, Noel slammed on the accelerator, avoiding the camera while driving on the road at the fastest speed, leaving the scenery and complicated thoughts along the way behind.

[Wait, you haven't explained clearly what you want to do? ]

Xiao Hei's question was never answered. After a while, Noel arrived home. There was no one in the living room, so Noel rushed directly to the kitchen.

"Are you back?" Morofushi Jingguang was now in the body of a child. He had been standing on a chair to cook. He was wearing a light-colored sweatshirt and an apron. When he heard the voice, he turned around and met Noel's gray-green eyes.

Noel took two steps forward and raised his head as if he wanted to do something, but he quickly retracted his gaze and said nonchalantly:

"Xiao Guang, I'm hungry."

"It will be ready soon." Although he realized that something was wrong with the boy, they had only known each other for a week, so Morofushi Jingguang did not think much about it. Seeing that the boy was standing obediently in the kitchen as if he wanted to wait for the meal to be cooked, he said helplessly:

"Change your clothes and wash your hands, and it's almost time to eat."

"Yeah." Noel came out of the closed room, put on a black coat and left. He didn't have a bandage on his body. Morofu Jingguang also noticed this and thought that the other party had taken off the bandage on the way.

The moment the food was served on the table, Noel began to devour it. He had never known table manners. At most, he was forced to remember these useless rules in the so-called upper society when he was taken by Bermode to participate in a mission that required disguise when he first joined the organization.

"Why do I feel like you haven't eaten for a long time?" Zhu Fu Jingguang couldn't help asking as he saw that the other person's pot of rice was almost finished, and the second pot of rice that he had skillfully started at the right time was not yet cooked.

"Two days..."

In the interval of eating frantically, Noel's muffled words made Zhu Fu Jingguang stunned, and then he realized that the other party was answering.

"They don't let you eat?" Morofu Jingguang said with a heavy tone. After all, it was too much to let a minor not eat. Especially since Morofu Jingguang had raised the boy for some time, he realized that the boy had an unexpectedly large appetite and felt hungry very easily.

Noel looked up at the other party in confusion, then suddenly realized something and asked:

[Xiao Hei, is he a little too fond of minors? ]

[After all, he is a policeman, and he is more likely to be soft-hearted.]

At this time, Xiao Hei was still thinking about what the other party meant by "He is mine", and what the literal meaning was.

【so it is.】

[Wait, Noel, what on earth are you trying to do now?! What you just said...]

"Because I didn't complete the task, I was locked in a solitary confinement cell for two days. I didn't eat and couldn't reply to your message..."

The boy lowered his head and his expression could not be seen clearly. His ears drooped like a puppy, and he looked very pitiful.

Morofushi Jingguang fell silent. He had already determined that the young man in front of him was the organization's fault no matter what. Not allowing him to eat was simply out of conscience.

"There are still a lot of ingredients in the refrigerator. I'll go get some more dishes."

“Can I?” As if suddenly perking up, the dog, cough cough, Noel’s eyes seemed to be shining, and that particularly hidden green color also lit up.

"Of course you can. Just tell me what you want to eat."

"Uh-huh."

Looking at Noel's expression, Morofushi Jingguang turned around and went to the kitchen, but he didn't know that the boy's expression suddenly disappeared after he left, but his eyes were still staring at him.

【Noel...】

Xiao Hei was already extremely alert. He understood the other party better than Noel imagined. He knew that the other party was a real person from this world, who had not received a normal education since childhood. If it were not for Xia Tian's memory that allowed him to barely get rid of the organization's brainwashing education and gain self-awareness, he would definitely be a serious and extreme person.

[I want to keep him here forever and not let anyone know.]

[Even if it's Bourbon, Furuya Rei doesn't know. It doesn't matter even if the main storyline of the manga starts. He has been hiding here. 】

【Noel! 】

[I know, I know it's wrong, they said it's wrong!]

The only normal education Noel received was the vague fragments of his adoptive parents' teachings in his memory of that summer, but he tried hard to remember them clearly.

Of course, this also includes killing people, which is wrong and will be punished and handed over to the police.

【Calm down, Noel.】

Xiao Hei was stuck for a moment and didn't know how to comfort him. There are always some things they don't want to consider but have to face.

[It's not that difficult, right? The organization is confident in me now, so I can always escape. I can take him and hide far away, and then...]

Do you think he would agree?

Why do I need his consent?

【......】

Xiao Hei really didn't know what he should say. He couldn't even refute the other party. Considering the environment the other party grew up in, this behavior couldn't even be considered extreme.

Morofu Jingguang quickly prepared the ingredients and put them into the pot one by one. As soon as he walked out of the kitchen, he saw Noel staring at him.

"What's wrong?"

"Xiao Guang, I think..."

“Will I still want to eat these tomorrow?”

"Shall we prepare some materials tonight?"

"Um."

[Xiao Hei, I have calmed down.]

【You scared me. 】

【Feel sorry.】

[I really thought that the prison quest was going to be opened, but it won’t pass the review. ]

[How is that possible? I still know not to do to others what you don’t want others to do to you.]

[Those memories have had a big impact on you.] Xiao Hei said with emotion, somewhat glad that Noel was able to obtain Xia Tian's memories.

【It was a previous life after all. 】

【......】

Xiao Hei suddenly felt that it was a good idea not to expose this lie. This memory was like Noel's light, which could prevent him from going completely crazy.

[By the way, that Bourbon guy is now my partner.]

[You called him a male god before. ]

[I just feel a little guilty, I stole my idol's childhood sweetheart, it feels like NTR. 】

[You have now replaced Morobushi Kagemitsu and become his partner. Is this also considered NTR? ]

[Ah, well, I still like the pure love party, and I am a child addict. ]

【To be honest, it was a bit unexpected...】

【Isn't it amazing that we grew up together and trusted each other, just like half of a body. 】

[So sooner or later I will return to the half body...]

The conversation ended when Zhufu Jingguang brought the dishes to the table. Xiao Hei was indeed a little nervous. He always felt that what Noel said about having calmed down was not true. He wanted to ask again, but never found a chance.
