December 25th, 00:45.
Haido Town Children's Park has welcomed two "older children" who are trying to reminisce about their childhood.
Fujiwara Yu, wearing a long black down jacket, looked helplessly at Morofushi Kagemitsu who was sitting on the seesaw. He didn't expect that the meeting place this time would be the children's park again. If he was caught by someone, he would probably be regarded as a drunkard.
He did not choose the seesaw, but leaned on the railing beside him, crossed his arms and asked:
"Scotland, can't you choose a better meeting place next time?"
"Isn't it nice here? It's very safe, and people from the organization wouldn't come to a place like this." Zhu Fu Jingguang answered calmly while sitting on the seesaw.
Fujiwara Yuu's eyes fell on the popsicle with soda flavor in Morufushi Kagemitsu's hand. Unable to understand why he would eat a popsicle in sub-zero temperatures, he said:
"You're sitting outside eating popsicles in this weather. You have really good teeth. Be careful about getting a stomachache."
"It's the same for you. Don't you drink iced lemon tea in winter too?" Zhu Fujingguang glanced at Fujiwara Yu speechlessly. How could he have the nerve to lecture him when he drank iced drinks all year round?
After hearing this, Fujiwara Yu said confidently:
"That's iced lemon tea. How can you drink it if it's not iced?"
"This is a popsicle. If it's not icy, can it still be called a popsicle?"
The two exchanged glances and laughed helplessly. Zhu Fujingguang swallowed the last bite of his popsicle and looked up at the night sky dotted with only a few stars. Thinking of himself playing the villain, his voice was a little low:
"I didn't report any information about Shirley before. Honestly... I felt quite sorry for her. You didn't see her expression when I broke the false news that Miyano Akemi was dead."
"Although the two sisters don't have much in common in terms of personality, neither of them would bow to the organization, so I guess she didn't cry in front of you."
These days, Miyano Akemi has been talking about her sister from time to time, and Fujiwara Yu has been listening carefully, so he has gotten to know Miyano Shiho a little better. To be honest, during their first two meetings, Miyano Shiho's personality gave him a bit of a headache, but after getting to know her better, he felt that this girl had quite a bit of personality.
She is very similar to Mingmei, both of them are the type who can sacrifice themselves for others.
Zhu Fushi Jingguang recalled Miyano Shiho's numb expression. If he hadn't slipped a note into her mouth, he would have been really worried that she would be so upset that she would crash into him and die. He smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said softly:
"Yeah, I didn't cry. Gin has been quite respectful to me during this period, but I can also see that he is testing me. He is like this to everyone. I'm afraid the only person he can trust is Vodka."
"That's normal. People born in darkness fear betrayal the most. Suspicion is their nature." Fujiwara Yu took out a cigarette from his cigarette case and tacitly accepted the lighter thrown by Morufushi Keimitsu. After lighting it, he slowly said, "What did you do on the American Island?"
Zhu Fujingguang thought about what happened on the American island and couldn't help laughing:
"Did you know that America Island has another nickname?"
"have no idea."
"It's called Mermaid Island because the islanders believe that if humans swallow mermaid flesh, they can achieve immortality. They hold a Mermaid Festival every year, where lucky individuals receive the dugong arrows of the Longevity Goddess. Shirley, Vodka, and I all had bad luck; we didn't even win a single number."
Swallowing mermaid flesh can grant immortality? What kind of feudal superstition is this?
Fujiwara Yu rolled his eyes speechlessly. As a materialist, he naturally didn't believe in such things. He said ruthlessly:
"Are you crazy? There are no mermaids in this world. Do you think things in Disney are real? Scotland, don't tell me that the organization sent you guys all the way to the island to investigate mermaids just for the sake of longevity."
"You're half right. The organization is indeed going after longevity, but their target isn't mermaids, it's humans."
"Longevity Lady?"
"Well, she is 129 years old this year. This age is indeed very rare." Zhu Fu Jingguang recalled the scene when he saw the longevity lady. Although this statement is a bit impolite, if the longevity lady went to work in a haunted house, it would probably scare a lot of people to death.
Fujiwara Yuu was stunned when he heard this, his eyes widened in surprise:
"You're not taking this old man to conduct some human experiment?"
"Of course not. We were just going to investigate, and since Shirley said there was nothing of value, we returned the same way we came."
"oh."
Fujiwara Yuu walked over to the swing and sat down, his head bowed as he pondered the information he now had. He didn't think the organization was foolish enough to believe the mermaid legend; they had sent personnel to the American Island precisely because they had a nagging obsession with immortality.
So where does this obsession come from? Is it someone desperate to maintain their own life?
"we be both of god and the devil.sio raise the dead agaiream of time."
When Zhu Fujingguang heard this English sentence, he did not react to its meaning for a while. He frowned and asked:
"Why are you saying this all of a sudden?"
"This is what Vermouth said to Itakura Taku. It mentioned 'reversing the flow of time and resurrecting the dead.' The combined organization asked Shirley to develop a drug related to immortality. Scotland, what are your thoughts?"
Resurrection of the dead, immortality, rebirth, eternal life.
After pondering it carefully, Zhu Fushiguri suddenly looked up at Fujiwara Yu and said his answer in surprise:
