Hagiwara was not late for too long. After the high-level meeting of the Metropolitan Police Department ended, he immediately went to Miyano Akemi to pick up Dr. Aso. Then he chose a lane with few people and drove at the maximum speed in the name of an emergency mission.

As the head of the special task force, he can indeed use special authority in matters related to the organization, but he only needs to submit a report to explain the process afterwards. Of course, Kenji Hagiwara, who is already familiar with this process, can write a qualified report with the truth, such as tracking and investigating the whereabouts of members of the organization as a matter of urgency.

As a public security officer, Asami can also testify that the two of them had openly handed over business matters because of organizational matters, so it is not surprising that he was present.

The only thing that was damaged was the black Mazda, which, despite being in good condition, could not withstand the damage caused by Hagiwara. However, its owner must have taken care of it afterwards, but the other victim obviously did not have such an easy time.

When Dr. Aso, who was dressed in casual clothes, opened the car door and stepped out, his legs felt a little weak. He couldn't help but touch his chest. His heart was beating violently. It was obvious that he had not recovered from the thrilling and exciting driving performance just now.

Fortunately, as a doctor, he probably knew how to alleviate this situation, and after calming down, he couldn't help but look at this prominent figure in the police force, whom he didn't know much about.

When he was working in the public security, he was once responsible for handing over intelligence to Zero. As luck would have it, he happened to catch up with the other party being chased by someone, and he was sitting in his car, and he had the same feeling.

Should we say that we are indeed good friends...

But it seems that Mr. Fūya looks more reliable.

Aso, who often peeked into the group chat of the White Alliance, sighed as he pushed open the door of the Bourbon Villa. With a startling loud noise, a wolf-like figure came into view:

The reliable Mr. Kotani was seen half squatting and breathing heavily, standing there in a wrinkled suit, his short hair soaked with sweat. In his hand was a piece of clothing that seemed to have been torn off by him, and a slightly twisted smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Meanwhile, the sunglasses on the face of Mr. Jinpei Matsuda, another person whom Aso was quite familiar with, had broken into two pieces. With a ferocious look on his face, he reached out his hand and tried to take off another piece of clothing from the other person.

The arrival of the two men seemed to have no effect on anything, the confrontation scene was still going on, and the target of the two men's siege had his windbreaker and jacket taken off, leaving only a white short-sleeved shirt from the laboratory on his upper body. Although Grappa's face was still expressionless, his light gray eyes were slightly alert, injecting a slight vitality into his machine-like body.

When he found that the other party had the intention to resist, Morofushi Kagemitsu, who had sensed something and stopped moving, watched for a while, then his expression relaxed a little. He picked up a cup of tea and started drinking it. When he saw Hagiwara and Aso coming in, he stretched out his hand to say hello.

Seeing that the upright Captain Date was not only disorganized, he even urged them on from time to time, and took the clothes and windbreaker that Furutani Rei had snatched and put them together, and then looked at Matsuda Jinpei, as if he was waiting for the other party's spoils.

In short, for some reason the atmosphere seemed to have turned into a clothes-grabbing contest, and Asai, who had just arrived, felt a strong urge to complain.

"What are you guys doing..." asked Kenji Hagiwara. With a height of over 1.9 meters, he could have a clear view of the room even when standing behind Aso. He was wearing a neat suit with his hair fixed with hair wax, and he exuded a strong elite temperament. He put his hands on his face and spoke in a reproachful voice, which made Aso, who originally thought that this man was not reliable, immediately retract his prejudice.

So is Mr. Hagiwara more reliable?

This thought lasted only three seconds before he saw the reliable Mr. Hagiwara taking off his coat in a casual manner and ruffling his hair with one hand, and said excitedly:

"Why don't you take me with you!"

The number of people on the battlefield quickly increased to four, and Hagiwara Kenji decisively chose to join Matsuda Jinpei's side.

Asanari really didn't know what to say, and could only look at the only two people sitting on the sofa who looked mature and reliable:

Date Kou watched this scene with amusement, exchanged a glance with Morobushi Kagemitsu, and both of them rolled up their sleeves and joined in.

Under the gaze of Masashi's death, the six-man melee finally turned into a one-on-five suppression. No matter how strong Grappa was, he was completely suppressed and unable to resist.

The other five people who were bullying the weak felt no guilt at all. They just tacitly pushed the person back onto the sofa and then looked at Ma Cheng Shi.

"I almost know the situation. I'll trouble you with the rest, Dr. Aso." Morofushi Jingguang took the initiative to speak, and the gentle smile on his face was finally no longer as perfect as a mask.

The five people all realized one thing at the first time, and Grappa, who would resist these behaviors, was not irreversibly brainwashed.

That's good to know.

At that moment, everyone's extremely tense nerves finally stopped looking like they were about to break.

———

Early in the morning, a car drove out of the villa. The blond man in the driver's seat turned his head to look at Grappa who was silent in the passenger seat, with a hint of inquiry in his gray-purple eyes.

Obviously, the other party has not recovered from last night's situation.

After discovering last night that Grappa was not completely unconscious, everyone finally relaxed a little, but soon became serious and began to carefully check Noel's condition.

However, after seeing the skin exposed under the cumbersome clothes, everyone still couldn't hold back the anger on their faces and clenched their fists.

It was no secret to them that Noel's body recovered very quickly. Therefore, after seeing the dense wounds and sutures on the body that should have been free of any marks, the six grown men were speechless and their eyes turned red.

Although I had some guesses about what happened to Noel, when I actually saw the solid evidence, I felt like there was a fishbone stuck in my throat, and I was filled with bitterness.

In the end, Aso Minoru was the first to speak.

"Silvani contacted the police again this morning and explicitly asked them to 'take charge of Grappa'," the doctor clenched his fists after saying this. He tried his best to stay rational and speak out the information in his mind, but he tasted a faint smell of blood. It was his lower lip that he had bitten unconsciously before he spoke. He ignored it and continued in a steady voice:

"We thought he might have done something with the grappa experiment, but now it seems..."

He looked up at Grappana's eyes, which had lost their guard and were clear again, and said slowly, "He probably did not follow orders to perform surgery on Noel. His current state should be a deeper hypnosis, but this hypnosis is probably based on amnesia, so it is difficult to reverse."

As if he had noticed something, Grappa looked over. His light grey eyes were still blank, reflecting the six people like a mirror.

"But if that thorough brainwashing operation is carried out, there will be absolutely no possibility of recovery." Furuya Rei added that half a month ago, he used his high-level authority to replace a servant in the yard. Afterwards, the public security quickly conducted a comprehensive inspection and reconfirmed this conclusion.

"So was Noel's amnesia caused intentionally by Silvani, or was it..." Everyone understood what Kenji Hagihara had unfinished words.

After being tortured for several months, the brain chooses to forget those painful memories in order to protect itself. This is a highly likely scenario.

The conditions in the villa only allowed Dr. Aso to conduct a simple physical examination. He then quickly collected a blood sample and rushed back to the laboratory with others under the cover of night. They needed more sophisticated instruments to detect the specific situation.

As Bourbon, Toru Amuro had to obey orders and take Grappa to carry out the mission the next morning:

Kill a person.

As requested, Bourbon was still the commander of this operation, and Grappa was responsible for the killing. It was the same distribution as when the two of them worked together before, but there was something different.

After parking the car downstairs at the designated spot, the blond man did not open the door immediately. Instead, he looked at the silent Grappa and said softly, "Grappa, wait here. This is an order."

He had no intention of letting Grappa take action, especially after discovering yesterday that Grappa had not received any special orders to report the mission to the boss or Silvani, he decided not to let Grappa take action on the next mission.

How could he bear to let the other party continue to do this for the organization?

Grappa remained silent, probably following the order.

The blond man smiled a wry smile with a hint of relief. He pushed open the car door and opened the trunk. Inside was a familiar guitar bag containing a gun.

He stretched out his hand and touched nothing.

Grappa, who got off the car at some point, grabbed the guitar bag in the blink of an eye, then carried it on his shoulder and ran towards the destination with his 1.8-meter-long long legs, leaving behind a confused Furukaya Rei and his empty trunk that was blown away by the wind.

It is the entity's wish that Bourbon not be allowed to continue killing people.

Although Grappa occasionally wondered why his original self had such strange thoughts, after all, Bourbon was a member of an evil organization, and the original self should not like him, even though the original self was also a member of an evil organization.

But at first, every time he was able to quickly control his body, it was when his original body didn't want to kill anyone and didn't want the man standing next to him to kill anyone. He once turned around with his original body and looked at the man's face which was filled with an expression he couldn't understand.

I still don't understand.

But it doesn't matter. He is familiar with killing people. He was born for this, so of course he should be the one to do it.

So Grappa took action without hesitation. As for the order, is it important? Not important!

After a moment, Furutani Rei reacted with his eyes wide open, and then he almost cursed, and hurriedly chased after Grappa whose back he could not see.

This was not what he expected!
