38

Early this morning, Noel climbed out of the closet. He looked at the Hawaiian shirt in the closet with disgust and vowed to put it in the cold palace and never touch it again in his life. He took a panda-themed pullover and put it on, then went downstairs.

Hiroki was placed in another bedroom, which theoretically belonged to Natsukawa Sora, but Noel had never slept there.

The thrilling night last night made this child, who is less than ten years old, exhausted, so breakfast was just a time for Noel and Xiaoguang.

Morobushi Jingguang had already prepared breakfast. Since the two of them started living together, the other had always been able to find the perfect time to ensure that Noel had a hot meal as soon as he woke up. This obvious care and concern made Noel go from being afraid at first to becoming accustomed to it now.

[Who will be able to marry Xiaoguang in the future? This feeling is really addictive. 】

【Why, you can’t bear to part with it? 】

[Xiao Hei, it's so sad that you can't taste Xiao Guang's cooking without your physical body. How about I take your body and let you have a taste? ]

[Have I finally transformed from my second personality into a ghost that wants to possess you in your eyes? ]

[In fact, I still think the system is more likely, but it is useless. Others have golden fingers, and you can only be regarded as a flatterer. ]

【Get lost! 】

The little drama in my mind ended with Xiao Hei getting angry and Xiao Guang bringing breakfast.

Today's breakfast is Chinese steamed buns. Ever since Xiaoguang got to know a skilled Chinese uncle in Chinatown, the proportion of Chinese food on the table has increased significantly. Of course, Noel welcomes this very much. The thin-skinned and meaty buns are bitten open, and the fragrant gravy splashes on the surface, which is enough to show that Xiaoguang has learned the essence of it. Noel quickly stuffed three or four into his mouth to whet his appetite.

【Have you forgotten something, Noel?】

[Okay, I know, I know...]

"Xiao Guang, I want to tell you something." Noel put down the bun he was about to put into his mouth and said suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Fu Jingguang looked at the other party in surprise. The thing that could make the other party give up eating and talking must be very important.

"give......"

Noel pulled out a metal medicine box from his trouser pocket. There was a rustling sound from inside, but it was not loud.

"The medicine you take every day." Zhu Fujingguang recognized it immediately. He would naturally not ignore Noel's habit of taking medicine every day. When asked, he just said that it was medicine used to stabilize the body.

"I want you to keep it for me, okay?" Noel adjusted his words in his mind and said carefully.

"What are the effects of this medicine?" Zhu Fujingguang quickly realized that this medicine was definitely not as simple as stabilizing the body's condition, otherwise Noel would not have suddenly proposed this.

"To calm my nerves, to calm me down, and..." Noel said slowly, but then his speech became faster and faster.

"Able to cooperate with the organization's education and control me."

For Noel, it seemed extremely difficult to say this, just like being stripped down to his underwear on the street. He just wanted to make a quick decision and continued:

"It's also addictive to a certain extent. Anyway, I want to quit. Not taking it all of a sudden might cause my body to become weak. I can only reduce the dosage appropriately when I don't have any tasks. Please help me supervise it."

The sudden huge amount of information made Zhufu Jingguang slow to receive it, but then he remembered that when he was at home with Noel, the other party would occasionally appear very weak. It must be a side effect of reducing the dosage.

"What dosage are you taking now? If you reduce the dosage, will it affect your body's condition?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang tried his best to analyze the effects of the drugs rationally in order to suppress the rage that was roaring in his heart, like the lava under a dormant volcano.

"One pill a day. I tried taking half of it at home before, and my fighting ability was basically destroyed. My limbs became difficult to control, and I could be killed by any low-level NPC."

Noel recalled the feeling of weakness in his limbs, which was even more uncomfortable than being tied up.

"It's not appropriate for you to give up so hastily," Zhu Fu Jingguang frowned and said, "What if he has the effect of stabilizing your physical condition while controlling your mind? It will affect you even more."

Morobushi Jingguang was obviously more cautious. He didn't dare to bet whether Noel's body would collapse due to stopping taking the medicine. After all, judging from the current situation, the experiment Noel had experienced was definitely not perfect and must have had very huge side effects, but he didn't know what they were yet.

"That's true..." Noel had indeed not thought about this, but in his eyes, it didn't matter even if his body collapsed due to stopping taking the medicine. Of course, he couldn't show this in front of Xiaoguang.

"Do you know any friends who can help you test the ingredients in the drugs?" Zhu Fu Jingguang felt deeply the inconvenience of his body becoming smaller, and he felt helpless because he was unable to do anything about many things.

"Maybe there is a way." Noel thought for a moment and said, at least it's not difficult to pay for a laboratory test.

"Then we'll decide what to do with this drug once the test results come out."

"Okay," Noel said, and went back to eating.

"Oh, I almost forgot. Here you go." Morobushi Jingguang took out an envelope from somewhere and handed it to Noel. The boy opened it puzzled and found that his comic was selected.

"I actually passed. I thought I would be rejected?"

After all, there are so many "BUGs" in comics.

Noel handed the letter to Morobushi Jingguang, who took a quick look at it and probably understood the misunderstanding. The long passages in the letter praised Noel for "deliberately leaving clues", which was simply embarrassing.

"It seems they like it very much." Morobushi Jingguang felt a little amused. Who would have thought that those seemingly high-end details were facts that the cartoonist did not cover up well. "Putting it in the mystery section is surprisingly appropriate."

"It's not appropriate at all, it's just an ordinary healing comic." Noel explained, but he still couldn't hide his excitement about his comic being recognized.

"Then I will paint in this style from now on."

"As long as you are happy," Morobushi Jingguang encouraged him. It was good for Noel to have a career that he could proudly talk about in public.

"By the way, regarding Hongshu's matter, there is another way to get him back to his father."

Morofu Jingguang thought of the method he had been thinking about for a long time last night, and said slowly:

"Take the public security route."

———

[Xiao Guang is indeed more thoughtful. Let's find a laboratory first and ask them to check the specific ingredients of the drug.]

Xiao Hei was glad that he had brought Xiao Guang along with him, otherwise what if Noel suddenly quit taking the drugs and it affected his body? His way of thinking was still too immature.

Noel has put on his coat again, and is equipped with a mask and bandages. He is now sitting in the car and driving on the road. He deliberately chose a car model that can be seen everywhere. None of the three or four license plates in the trunk have a corresponding identity, just to prevent others from linking Natsukawa Sora and Grapa. Although Natsukawa Sora is not old enough to take a driver's license, if he is caught one day, he will only be charged with stealing his father's car. Although he did not investigate in detail how long he would be imprisoned.

"There's one more thing to take care of there," Noel said. "It's about confinement."

After he finished speaking, Noel took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

"BOSS," the boy shouted, his expression completely gone, even his grey-green eyes looked a little darker.

"Grappa, you rarely contact me on your own initiative." The voice on the other end was mechanically distorted, and it was impossible to tell the gender or age, but there was a hint of smile in the tone.

"I'm sorry to bother you. I wanted to report on yesterday's fight with Shuichi Akai." Noel's tone was as calm as a machine, but his wording was extremely sophisticated. He referred to himself in a very humble manner, as if it was a specially trained way of speaking. This made Xiao Hei, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but feel creepy, as if the Noel he had always been familiar with had suddenly become a stranger and completely turned into another existence.

"I heard that the mission failed, right?" The person on the other side seemed to be nonchalant, as if it was just a trivial matter.

"Yes, Boss."

"You want to defend yourself?"

"I dare not, I just found a little doubt," Noel's voice was calm, which was also the attitude that the other party liked.

"During the confrontation, Shuichi Akai used the stun gun without hesitation. I don't think he would have prepared a stun gun specifically for that situation, and the opponent seemed to have expected my arrival."

"So what's your guess?"

"I only know that you, Boss, and the people in the laboratory are the only ones who know about my physical condition."

"Indeed, it seems that we have to let Gin investigate the little rats in the organization." For an organization boss with a strong desire for control, there is nothing more annoying than traitors and undercovers.

"Thank you for your hard work, Grappa." On the other end of the phone, the organization's boss was very satisfied with Grappa's performance, but this still didn't make him show any softness.

"But since Akai Shuichi was able to get close to you this time, you are still not sharp enough. You still need to be punished."

"My management rights are now in the hands of Gin, and he has ordered me to go to the confinement room..."

"Gin?" The person on the other side interrupted Noel and said in a bad tone: "Don't forget your identity."

Apparently, the words "management authority" and "orders" made him uncomfortable.

"I understand. I am your best weapon." Noel said quickly.

"Don't bother with him, let him do his job first." The boss said lightly, allowing Noel to successfully achieve his goal.

"As I recall, your sensitivity to electric currents has little to do with the experiment, Grappa?"

"Yes."

"It's not a good thing to have such a glaring flaw in a weapon."

"Please give me instructions, Boss."

"Wait for me to arrange it." The other party said and hung up the phone.

"OK, done, perfect!" Noel's tone changed, and he completely returned to his original state. The change was so great that he seemed to be in a state of mental breakdown.

[Noel, you scared me! ]
