Chapter 42

Zhu Fu Jingguang looked at the file bag at his feet. He knew that every second was precious at this moment, but he had a feeling of resistance in his heart, as if what he saw was not a file, but a suicide note. If he didn't open it, he could still deceive himself. Maybe this was just a ridiculous joke...

【??? Am I dazzled?】

[Is Toruko's name on the file? 】

[The child is going to be stupid. Is Touzi no longer Touzi now? Has she been implanted with a chip and replaced by an unknown stranger? ? ? ]

[I don't believe it. Looking at Touzi's previous performance, how could he be fake? ]

[I don't believe it +1, Touzi is definitely Touzi]

[But the organization’s files cannot be false.]

[I guess the organization's experiment actually failed, and Toru was not replaced, but in order to deceive the organization, he pretended to be replaced]

[What I said before makes a lot of sense, and this can completely explain Touko's behavior]

【Agree with the previous +1】

Morobushi Jingguang's hand suddenly touched the gun on his waist. The cold and hard touch made him shrink his hand subconsciously. He quickly reacted and held the gun tightly again. This gun was handed to him by Zero before he came down. Although the other party didn't say anything, the worried look on his face couldn't be faked. How could an impostor have such eyes? How could he help them get the password? How could he stand in front of him and help him block Gin's questioning? How could he know what they experienced together in the police academy...

Morofushi Jingguang picked up the file bag and tore open the seal this time. Inside were a few thin sheets of paper. He pulled out the paper and looked at the contents recorded on it. The first line was: It has been confirmed that Toru Amuro's real identity is a public security undercover...

No wonder he became an experimental subject of the organization. It turned out that his identity was exposed. Morofu Jingguang took a deep breath and continued to look down.

The implanted chip model is LR391-7, and the personality is written into the organization member...

"Why are you here?"

The sudden sound made Zhu Fu Jingguang's hands tremble, and the file almost fell to the ground again. He calmed himself down and turned around to see an old man sitting in a wheelchair. The old man had sinister eyes and was staring at him and the information in his hand...

"The laboratory needs data. I'll come get it." Morofushi Jingguang took out the words he had prepared in advance. He knew it would be hard to gain people's trust, especially when the person in front of him was Rum. He said this mainly to delay time and find the right time to take action.

Rum suddenly sneered, and his finger pressed a button on the wheelchair. The entire underground laboratory suddenly rang with a sharp alarm. At the same time, Rum's cold voice also came over: "I don't care who you are, hand over the chip, and I will give you a quick death."

Zhu Fu Jingguang had already pointed the gun at Rum. His expression was sullen and his tone was cold: "I'm afraid you will be the first to die."

After seeing the information, Morobushi Kagemitsu really had the intention to kill. He put his finger on the trigger and slowly increased the force...

Rumsey was not threatened at all. He had a sinister smile on his face, like a cold-blooded poisonous snake, and his eyes were fixed on Morofu Jingguang.

Morofushi Jingguang's finger was about to pull the trigger, but the person sitting in the wheelchair in front of him suddenly shook, which made his hand pause for a moment. However, when he blinked and looked again, Rum was still in the same place. It was not Rum that was shaking, but him...

When he realized this, Morofu Jingguang felt that the whole world began to spin, and soon he fell down. The moment he fell, he saw a faint smoke spreading out from the vents on the ceiling...

Fortunately, time can be repeated. This was Morobushi Kagemitsu's last thought before he lost consciousness.

...

The seventh cycle begins, with the four players reuniting on the beach outside the resort.

"Who triggered the alarm?"

Huang Hun and Oda Sakunosuke asked almost at the same time.

Morofushi Kagemitsu was still a little confused after being suddenly switched to this place from unconsciousness. It was not until he found that Oda Sakunosuke and Huang Hun were looking at him that he came back to his senses a little bit. After hearing the two repeat the question, he said, "It was Rum who suddenly came to the data room."

Morofushi Jingguang recounted his previous experience.

"So you were killed after you fell down?" Huang Hun asked again.

Morobushi Jingguang thought for a moment and shook his head: "Rum thought that the missing chip was in my hands, so he would not kill me easily."

"Then why did the cycle suddenly start?"

"You mean time went back in time soon after the alarm went off?"

Huang Hun and Oda Sakunosuke nodded at the same time.

"Could it be that this cycle was not triggered by the death of a player?" Huang Hun looked at Zhu Fu Jing Guang, "Are you sure that your symptoms at that time were just fainting?"

Zhufu Jingguang thought about it again, and finally nodded with certainty. He could still distinguish between fainting and death.

"Could it be possible that a player's fainting could trigger a loop?" Oda Sakunosuke couldn't help but wonder.

"I don't think it's that simple." Huang Hun looked at Kudo Shinichi beside him and asked, "Did Gin leave you before the cycle started?"

"He left." Kudo Shinichi paused and said, "But according to the time, he should not have rushed back to your villa yet."

While searching, they were counting the time. It was about thirty minutes when the alarm sounded, and at most less than thirty-five minutes, which was less than the time for Gin to come back.

Several players were lost in thought at the same time, and finally Oda Sakunosuke said, "What exactly happened? Maybe we'll get the answer when we meet Mr. Bourbon."

Zhu Fu Jingguang suddenly felt uneasy because he thought of a possibility, that is, something happened to Ling Yi who stayed in the villa, so this cycle was triggered, but what could have happened in the villa?

Ling Yi walked out of the resort and saw four figures standing on the beach from a distance. All four of them were looking in the direction of the resort and seemed to be looking forward to meeting him this time.

Ling Yi felt the salty sea breeze blowing from afar and did not quicken his pace.

"If you keep consuming it, it will disappear." He suddenly spoke, and it was unclear who he was talking to. His voice was so soft that it was almost blown away by the sea breeze.

The cycle was suddenly triggered this time because of Ling Yi's death, but the cause of death was not an external threat. Long before Zhu Fu Jingguang went to the underground laboratory, Ling Yi secretly placed a eavesdropping device on him. When he noticed that Zhu Fu Jingguang was in danger, his body and emotions made an involuntary choice. It was a strong emotion of eagerness to protect a person.

Ling Yi did not choose to reject emotions. He thought this game was very interesting and the emotions in this world were very special.

Ling Yi walked up to the four players and met their puzzled eyes. He smiled gently and explained, "Gin came back early and some conflicts occurred."

A conflict with Gin? This is indeed a possibility, but the four players still have doubts in their hearts. Did Gin really return to the villa early? There were no accidents in the previous cycles, so why did he return early this time?

When these doubts met the tired smile of the blond young man, the players chose to remain silent at the same time. They did not ask about the cycle anymore, but gathered together and began to summarize the information they had obtained before.

Regarding the explosives buried on the island, Oda Sakunosuke only heard that the control switch of the explosives was in Rum's hands. As for the distribution drawings, the laboratory researchers did not know, but he guessed that it should also be in Rum's hands.

Huang Hun saw the experimental subjects used by the organization in the test area. These were new bodies prepared by the organization to resurrect the BOSS. There were a total of three backup options. Huang Hun wanted to find an opportunity to rescue the people, but before he could act, the alarm sounded. Later, he wanted to save people in the chaos, but was pulled into a new cycle.

After listening to Huang Hun and Oda Sakunosuke talk about the findings of the laboratory search, Morofushi Kagemitsu also told what he had found, but he concealed the name "Amuro Toru" on the file and only said that there had been a successful case before the resurrection experiment.

After exchanging intelligence, they decided who would stay outside as a public security officer and who would go undercover in the organization's villa.

"I'll stay outside." This time, Morofu Jingguang took the initiative to speak up. The three players looked at him at the same time, and he began to explain, "We can't always leave Ke Xue alone."

The division was settled, and Zhu Fu Jingguang looked at Ling Yi. He couldn't help but think of the files he saw in the underground laboratory. An unspeakable feeling of distress spread over him. The words on his lips were twisted several times, and the only thing that came out was: "Go back and rest first."

Ling Yi looked at the black-haired, cat-eyed young man and nodded in agreement: "Okay."

It has been cycled six times before, and this time is the second time that Morobushi Kagemitsu stays in the Public Security. After Ling Yi brought him here, he led the rest of the players back to the organization's villa. After Morobushi Kagemitsu who stayed behind got to know the Public Security here again, he turned the topic to Toru Amuro.

"Senior Zero, you have been undercover in the organization for so many years. Have you ever encountered any dangerous situations?" Morofushi Jingguang asked.

"Senior Zero was the best in the police academy. He was able to turn danger into safety."

"Yes, the seniors are excellent and have always been my role models."

"But I did hear about one thing." One of the police officers suddenly recalled, "I heard from a senior who left before that about three years ago, Zero suddenly sent a message saying that he had lost contact. If you hear from him again, don't believe it."

"I've heard about this, too. At the time, everyone who received the message thought Zero had been exposed, but later Officer Kuroda said it was a misunderstanding."

"I don't think it's a misunderstanding. Senior may have encountered some danger. During that time, all the people who were undercover with him died..."

Several police officers started discussing, but Morofu Jingguang got up and left. He walked through the resort and unknowingly came to the villa where Vermouth was. At the window on the second floor of the villa, a little boy wearing glasses was answering the phone.

I don't know what was said on the other end of the phone, but the little boy's childish and innocent appearance was suddenly covered with a layer of fatigue and gloom that was not in line with his age.

Zhu Fu Jingguang was stunned on the spot, probably infected by the strong negative emotions emanating from the little boy. He felt as if he was also trapped in some weird cycle, as if he had become Sisyphus in the myth. Every time he pushed the stone to the top of the mountain, the stone would roll down to the foot of the mountain again, over and over again, day after day, with no end in sight...

Morofu Jingguang seemed to be held back by a heavy rock. He stood there for a long time, looking at the little boy by the window. Neither of them spoke. After an unknown amount of time, the door of the villa was suddenly opened and Vermouth walked out.

"Scotland?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang looked at the visitor, his eyes still showing fatigue and exhaustion. The visitor was stunned for a moment, then suddenly changed his words: "You are not him."

Morofushi Jingguang and Bermode entered the villa. Facing Bermode's inquiring gaze, he asked, "Where is the Scotland you mentioned now?"

[Kagemitsu should have known that Scotland is himself in this world, right? Why is he asking this? Didn’t the public security officer say that the Kagemitsu in this world has already died?]

[Could it be that I am too sad and my memory is confused? After all, this world goes on and on...]

[No, Jingguang looks very calm right now.]

[Kagemitsu is a soft-spoken person with a strong heart. He is not easily defeated. Moreover, Toruko here needs his rescue.]

[So why did Jingguang ask this? ]

"It looks like you know it." The corners of Bermode's mouth were curved, but it didn't look like a smile, but a very sarcastic arc. "But I can't answer your question."

"Whether that person is Bourbon or Scotch, you should ask him personally."
