Chapter 27 1000 Nutrient Solution Plus (Two-in-One) This Ren...
He did not return to the house again. When Zhu Fujingguang's vision returned to normal, he was already sitting in the medical room of the organization's base.
Sambuga no longer had the look of a venomous snake hunting. He was now lazily lying in front of the computer, not even lifting his eyelids.
Zhu Fujingguang retrieved his phone, stood up, and walked out when a sleepy voice came from behind him: "Remember not to delay our medical team's supply request too much."
It's yours.
The young man with cat eyes waved his hand as a reply, but he had his own plans in mind.
According to the instructions sent by the boss on the phone half an hour ago, Zhu Fu Jingguang first left the base through the main gate, and then used the password to open a password door in the basement of an abandoned warehouse across the street. He walked towards the organization for an unknown amount of time, passed through two password doors and entered an elevator that required a palm print to activate, and went down to the designated underground third floor.
The moment the elevator door opened, Zhu Fu Jingguang turned his head to avoid the blade flying from the right front, and at the same time, he used his left arm to push and pull to block the punch coming straight at his face. The cat's eyes seemed to be looking at him casually, but it made the visitor feel as if he saw a sleeping beast waking up in this not-so-strong body.
Although the visitor had ill intentions, Zhu Fujingguang could tell that the other party did not really want his life - at most he just wanted to take away an eye. So he did not aim the pistol that had slipped to the cuff of his right hand at the visitor, but let the bullet grazed the man's shiny scalp and penetrated into the white wall.
When they met the only intact eye, they both stopped at the same time.
Zhu Fu Jingguang took out his cell phone and typed blindly while looking at the person in front of him.
He was short and stocky, looking to be in his sixties or seventies. His skills at that age were truly impressive. His left eye was a prosthetic, and his jaw was wide. These features, which should have appeared harmless, made him look cruel and ruthless.
"I didn't come here to be lectured by you, did I, Rum?"
Zhu Fujingguang had never seen this mysterious second-in-command of the organization, but the thick blood on this person and the rumored "one-eyed" feature made him recognize the other party's true identity.
He just didn't understand why the boss would let him meet Rum... Rum was highly trusted by the boss and held a high position of power in the organization. He should never show his true face in front of him. Even if he wanted to take action against Scotland, there were plenty of people for Rum to command.
But there was no third person in this pale and empty corridor. Zhu Fujingguang could only suppress the murderous intent that suddenly surged in his heart and try to figure out Scotland's proper attitude.
Yes, just because Zhufu Jingguang has never seen rum doesn’t mean that Scotland has never seen it either.
After experiencing today's twists and turns, he finally realized clearly that Scotland in this world is different from him at that time. He is not a code member that the organization can discard at any time.
Scotland here is very close to the dark core.
Sure enough, Rum, after suppressing his previously undisguised malice, revealed a kind smile. He patted Zhu Fujingguang on the shoulder like an ordinary elder and said, "Ah, it's been so many years since we last met. You've grown up so much from that little kid. You're so young and promising... In comparison, I feel old."
In just a few words, the sneak attack that had just happened, which had the intention of blinding Scotland, was easily attributed to the elders testing the strength of the younger generation.
But Zhu Fujingguang didn't intend to take this frustrating step. Instead, he smiled and typed this message on his phone: "You have worked hard for the organization for so many years. It's time to take a good rest. Leave the hard work to us young people."
"I originally thought Bourbon's ambition was at its peak among the younger generation, but I didn't expect I'd overlooked one. Perhaps I don't know enough about the operations team," he said, hinting. "It's been rough lately. I wonder if it's because someone's rowing too hard... or if someone secretly drilled a hole in the boat?"
Zhu Fujingguang nodded approvingly. "It's all possible. But the most serious problem I've seen so far seems to be someone swinging the oars at the crew members who are actually working hard."
"A crew member who really works hard? Not necessarily."
…
After a long exchange of words, even if Zhu Fujingguang had enough patience, he didn't want to stand there and argue with Rum about nothing substantial. He also remembered that Zero had once told him that Rum was impatient and often said, "Time is money!"
Such a person would not waste time talking nonsense with Scotland.
Unless the other party doesn't want to but has to give him something.
Zhu Fujingguang took out his cell phone and checked. The boss didn't send him anything else, but Rum misunderstood something because of his action and turned to walk to the other side.
The layout here is also very strange. The corridor is so long, but there is only a small door at the end that is only wide enough for one person to pass through.
After four verifications including password, magnetic card, fingerprint and iris, the small door of unknown material was finally opened.
A glimpse of the true face of the organization was officially revealed to Zhu Fujingguang.
*
Rum left after a short stay, leaving the magnetic card representing one of the passes to Zhufu Jingguang.
By the time Zhu Fu Jingguang walked out of this door, it was already the next day.
It was not yet completely light, and the morning light barely illuminated the sky near the sea level.
The base was completely quiet. After all, the members of the organization were basically night owls when they had no missions, and they probably just went to bed at this point.
Zhu Fujingguang replayed the base map that he had just carefully viewed and memorized in his mind, and went straight to the place where the logistics team stored weapons. According to his habit, he picked out two sniper rifles and three pistols - there were even some musical instrument boxes or bags here.
After dismantling and stuffing all the above hot weapons into the instrument bags and hoodies, Zhu Fujingguang finally left the organization's base.
Destination: The safe house I stayed in before going to Europe.
Rum's words echoed clearly in his mind. "After all, this place has been developing smoothly under my control for so long. If I want to take it away intact, even if the person who said he wanted to give it to you wants to pay some storage fees, wouldn't that be reasonable?"
Only then did Zhu Fushigami realize that for a long time, the logistics team had been managed by Rum.
After Rum said this, Zhu Fujingguang thought that Rum would then say that he wanted to retain some management authority of the logistics team, or that Scotland would make things easier for him and the intelligence team. However, Rum changed the subject and said that he and Bourbon wanted to carry out a long-term mission.
The young man with cat eyes almost thought that Rum had committed the same bad habits as Vermouth and Boss Airalang, but on second thought he quickly understood his real intention: the boss's orders cannot be disobeyed, otherwise it will reduce the boss's trust in him and will not be conducive to consolidating his position as the second-in-command of the organization. But he was unwilling to give up such a big piece of fat, so he could only prolong the time that this piece of fat would stay in his hands.
Scotland, already a highly regarded member of the Operations Team, had proven himself to be more than just a sniper this time in Europe. The organization now had a difficult mission and needed Scotland's assistance. Would this outstanding codenamed member be unwilling to contribute just because he had received a higher level of power?
It was not known whether Rum wanted to express that the task was indeed difficult, or whether he had heard rumors about the relationship between Scotland and Bourbon and included Bourbon in the mix.
After Zhu Fujingguang reported the matter to his boss, the other party did not object.
Sensing Morobushi Kagemitsu's downbeat mood, 1207 popped up and said, "Wouldn't it be nice to go on a mission with Furuya? It'll be a rare chance for some solitude."
Too many things had happened in the past two days, and it was beyond the ability of this little love brain system to fully understand. It was just helping him to record the information in that room and convert it into data for storage according to Zhu Fujingguang's instructions. It was not until now that it involved Quyugu Ling that it took the initiative to speak.
The organization's base was not far from the safe house, so Zhu Fujingguang was walking towards the safe house along the familiar alley as usual.
Hearing 1207's question, Zhu Fu Jingguang suddenly stopped.
He was silent for two seconds, then suddenly asked, "1207, can you... stand by for a moment?"
This was the first time that Zhu Fujingguang had made such a request since he came here and was bound to 1207 for so long.
Ever since 1207 was locked up in a small dark room for almost revealing some information to him, Zhu Fujingguang guessed that maybe 1207 could temporarily shut down the surveillance on him.
The small system was stunned by his request. Out of the friendship and trust they had built up over this period, it said hesitantly, "According to the System Basic Rules, this is not allowed. However, you seem to be in a really bad mental state right now... Let me think about how to find a suitable excuse for you."
"Thank you."
As the prompt sounded, "Starting system self-test, please wait patiently for 30 minutes," Zhu Fu Jingguang leaned against the old alley wall.
He still had his hood pulled up out of habit at this time, so even the sunlight that finally came out to work couldn't illuminate his eyebrows.
Zhu Fu Jingguang sighed silently.
So much has happened in the past two days, and the amount of information is too great.
From the boss who had been disguised as a butler being assassinated and him saving the other party, to being sent to Sambuga for examination as a suspect and then discovering that Scotland was the organization's experimental subject, and finally fighting with Rum.
During this process, because he needed to pay close attention to deal with the gazes of others, Zhu Fushigi Jingguang had no time to care about any emotions he had.
But when he walked alone into the sunlight and heard 1207 ask this question, the uneasiness, fear, pain... all kinds of negative emotions began to grow from Zhu Fujingguang's heart like a vine left behind by the darkness, invisibly and silently isolating him from the sunlight.
Those hopes, the hope of exchanging identities with Rei Furuya, the hope of becoming an informant through Rei Furuya and the police, the hope of perhaps being able to see my family again...
And the hope of becoming a lover with Rei Furuya.
All of this was completely dissipated because of Scotland's body, which was like a time bomb - or a time bomb whose controller was firmly controlled by the organization.
Zhu Fujingguang would not allow his existence to bring any danger to the people he cared about.
Sorry, 1207.
At a moment when 1207 couldn't hear, Zhu Fujingguang apologized sincerely.
I can't complete the task you gave me.
*
By the time 1207 was shut down, Zhu Fujingguang had already completed two-thirds of the journey with a normal expression.
Although the Love Brain system knew that Zhufu Jingguang couldn't see it, it still quietly put away its self-made "Jingguang Research Notes" and asked, "Are you okay now?"
"Very good." Zhu Fujingguang replied in a steady and gentle voice. Seeing that 1207 seemed to be still half-believing, he thought for a moment and added, "Very good that I can still fight Gin and Rum one-on-two."
1207: This is too good! It feels even more fake!
Whether he can take on Gin and Rum alone is still debatable, but Morofushi Kagemitsu did not expect that he would soon face a "one-on-two" situation with Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda.
The duo who had just got off work because they were out on a business trip in the middle of the night were wandering the streets like two ghosts, and Zhu Fujingguang, who had just walked out of the alley, didn't recognize their footsteps at all.
When he caught sight of the two men from the corner of his eye, he was instantly transported back to the time before leaving for Europe. It would have been too obvious to turn around with such a large instrument bag on his back, but since he was still wearing his hood, he could just pretend his vision was limited and he hadn't seen anything.
Anyway, he often did this when he pretended not to see Gin.
"Midorikawa!"
In the end, the sharp-eyed police officer still accurately captured the figure, and as expected, it was still Jinpei Matsuda who called out to Morufushi Kagemitsu.
Zhu Fujingguang did not stop until the voice shouting "Midoka" was heard only two meters away from him.
The young man in the blue hoodie stopped and lowered his hood, revealing a pair of cat eyes widened in surprise... and the headphones he had just taken off and was still holding in his hand.
1207: "When did you put on the headphones?!"
"Two seconds ago." He pretended to put on the headphones while pulling up the strap of the instrument bag that had slipped down.
The curly-haired police officer looked at the earphones in Zhu Fujingguang's hand, not knowing whether he believed it or not. He did not ask the embarrassing question like "Why did you only hear it after I called you the fourth time?"
Well, of course, it is also possible that Jinpei Matsuda subconsciously sensed that after asking this question, the one who would be embarrassed might not be Morofushi Kagemitsu, but also himself.
Anyway, Officer Matsuda, who looked a little pale after staying up all night, looked at Morobushi Kagemitsu, who also looked pale after staying up all night, then glanced at the instruments on his back and said hesitantly, "Is the band training so hard now?"
Morufushi Kagemitsu really couldn't figure it out. He had only met Matsuda Jinpei a few times in this world. Based on his understanding of Matsuda Jinpei, the other party was not a very friendly person - that was Hagiwara Kenji's character. Why did he have to keep pestering him?
This time, there was no need to worry about being suspected of being an undercover agent. As the code name of the organization's member Scotland, Morofushi Kagemitsu was unwilling to get too close to Matsuda Jinpei.
Kenji Hagiwara, who followed immediately and hung his entire body on Jinpei Matsuda's shoulders quite naturally, made Keimitsu Morifushi finally realize the real reason why Jinpei Matsuda was targeting him.
"Little~Jin~pei~" Hagiwara Kenji called Matsuda Jinpei three tildes after calling him that, and then rubbed his cheek against his curly hair, "Why are you always chasing after Midorikawa-chan? Kenji-chan is really jealous~"
If it weren't for the fact that the man codenamed Tennessee took advantage of this posture so that Matsuda Jinpei couldn't see his expression, and if the look he gave to Morifushi Kagemitsu was dark, Morifushi Kagemitsu might not have believed what he said about being "jealous".
It was not known whether it was to declare sovereignty or driven by hostility that the alpha would instinctively emit pheromones to make the other party surrender, but the citrus-scented pheromones that were supposed to be refreshing spread among the three people with strong aggressiveness. Morofushi Kagemitsu maintained his beta personality without changing his expression, but Matsuda Jinpei suddenly frowned.
"Huh? It's because you've been avoiding the subject and refusing to give me Midorikawa's contact information. This makes it even more suspicious! Do you have any leverage over Midorikawa, or is Midorikawa's identity special?"
Are you a cat?
Morofushi Kagemitsu looked at Matsuda Jinpei in surprise, feeling that his former colleague was like a black cat that chased after a ball of yarn the more it couldn't get it. His current irritable look was also like a cat panting.
He turned his gaze towards Hagiwara Kenji, expecting him to make some excuses. However, the negativity in the semi-long-haired young man's eyes instantly vanished, his violet pupils sparkling like gemstones in the morning sun. "So, Jinpei-chan, you wanted to find out about Kenji-chan from Midorikawa-chan? Why don't you just ask me directly?"
Even the pheromones that had just attacked people like exploding orange juice became gentle again, wrapping around Matsuda Jinpei's body.
Kenji Hagiwara completely ignored the second half of the sentence, "Midorikawa's identity is very special." After all, at least in this regard, Kenji Hagiwara and Keimitsu Morifushi are on the same front.
Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara are both alphas, so being surrounded by this pheromone is naturally not very comfortable. Alphas have a natural sense of territory, and I don't know how Kenji Hagiwara managed to seize the opportunity to stick to Jinpei Matsuda.
So Curly Police Officer instinctively wanted to tear the walking big orange off himself, but he found that he couldn't move it at all without real effort, so he gave up.
Zhu Fujingguang felt that he was forced to be a spectator of another episode of affection show, and didn't want to be a part of their play anymore, so he took a step back with a polite fake smile, and typed to indicate that he was very tired after training all night and was in a hurry to go back and rest. The two dedicated police officers had worked overtime all night and were also required to rest early.
Matsuda Jinpei was about to say something, but Hagiwara Kenji grabbed his hand from behind him and said, "Don't disturb Midorikawa's rest. Let's go back early. Today is a day off. After you wake up from your nap at noon, I'll take Jinpei to the model shop we talked about last time~"
His attention was immediately drawn to the key words, and Matsuda Jinpei no longer paid attention to Morofushi Kagemitsu.
Turning around and continuing along the original route, Morofushi Kagemitsu had a calm expression but was not in a calm mood - just when Matsuda Jinpei raised his hand as if to pull Hagiwara Kenji off his body, Morofushi Kagemitsu keenly felt that there was something extra in his shirt pocket.
It was very light and small, but he could feel it.
Zhu Fujingguang had only met these two people at the same time three times, but he could clearly sense the changes in their relationship from these three times.
The first time was probably when we had just met and we got along well but were not close.
The second time was when they had been together for a while, and Kenji Hagiwara had already broken through Jinpei Matsuda's normal social distance.
And just now... thinking of Hagiwara Kenji's clingy attitude and his undisguised display of possessiveness in front of Matsuda Jinpei, I guess Matsuda Jinpei could also realize that Hagiwara Kenji has feelings for him that go beyond friendship after his reminder?
Zhu Fushigure suddenly remembered that in the original world, during a social gathering, Matsuda Jinpei was approached by a girl and asked for her contact information, but he mistakenly thought that the girl was interested in his sunglasses, so he gave her the contact information of the sunglasses store owner. The four of them laughed at him for a whole month.
...Then it's not certain that Jinpei Matsuda can understand Tennessee's thoughts.
You may not have noticed what Kenji Hagiwara was thinking, but you definitely noticed something off about him.
It seems that even though Hagiwara Kenji was not a childhood friend, he was discovered to have traces of darkness on his body by the Explosion Police Officer, who has strong observation skills, before he gained the full trust of Matsuda Jinpei.
So why did he come after me? He and Hagiwara Kenji were old acquaintances, so he wasn't necessarily a good character, was he?
Zhu Fushigi Kagemitsu raised his eyebrows, feeling that he seemed to be looked down upon by Matsuda Jinpei.
He didn't take it out immediately to see what it was, for fear that Kenji Hagiwara or his men would stare at him.
After passing three blocks and going around an old square, the young man with cat eyes finally stopped in front of the familiar apartment building.
It was the safe house he stayed in before leaving Japan for Europe.
Although Rum was not willing to give up the fat piece of meat of the logistics team so quickly, Zhu Fujingguang had already obtained all the necessary authority, so he had found a safe house with a good location and conditions.
However, when taking the keys, Zhu Fujingguang also took the key to another safe house - this safe house that once housed three people was now vacant.
Just before stepping into the safe house, a very faint smell of coffee was caught by the nose.
There are no coffee shops nearby.
The young man with cat eyes lowered his head and took off one of the three identical keys. The silver-white key slid down from his equally white fingers, and finally, it made a perfect arc and was thrown towards the blind spot in the front right.
A chocolate-colored hand grasped it into its palm.
Zhu Fujingguang signed: "With Bourbon's ability, he can get into the house without a key, right?"
Rei Furuya came out from the corner and said, "I thought you were going to ask me why I was here?"
"Rum is impatient. I guess you've already received the mission he assigned. Bourbon is well-known in the organization for his ability to read people's minds..." Opening the door, Zhu Fujingguang was surprised to see no dust everywhere. He paused before signing to Bourbon, who had followed him. "It's not surprising that he guessed I wanted to come back and take a look, right?"
This is hindsight.
If he hadn't smelled that faint pheromone, Zhu Fu Jingguang might not have been able to discover the existence of Bourbon.
He was alert enough, but Morobushi Jingguang's instincts were based on a principle: the presence of Furuya Rei/Bourbon was safe, so no alarm sounded in Morobushi Jingguang's mind. That was until the unfamiliar aroma of coffee appeared.
I don’t know whether Bourbon believed it or not, and I don’t know whether Bourbon smelled his grape oolong.
Placing the incredibly heavy instrument bag on the ground beside him, Scotland, with a gentle smile, turned around and blocked Bourbon's way into the house, asking gently, "Bourbon should have his own safe house now, right?"
What this meant was that Gin no longer needed him to continue monitoring Rye and Bourbon - now Morofushi Kagemitsu understood that it was not the three of them who were monitoring each other at the time, and that Scotland was trusted more in the organization than he had imagined.
What is Bourbon, who has always been mysterious, doing standing here with a small suitcase?
1207 had no idea what decision Zhufu Jingguang had just made, and was still urging him to let Bourbon in.
The blond, dark-skinned young man seemed to be completely unaware of the implication of the words to chase him away, and even took a step forward, now only twenty centimeters away from Zhu Fu Jingguang.
Compared to the increasingly distinct smell of coffee, Bourbon's words made Zhu Fushi Jingguang open his cat eyes even wider.
"For this mission, we need to pretend to be a couple. In order to avoid being exposed in front of the target, I think we need to adapt in advance, Scotland."
