Chapter 1541:1549 [Okiya Subaru gives up on escaping]
Moods seem to always be conserved.
Unlike the happy ghosts, the scriptwriter's mood has undoubtedly hit rock bottom at this moment.
Looking at Conan, he clenched his fists, but when he saw Jiang Xia next to Conan and Mao Lilan not far away, and remembered the terrifying arm strength of the high school girl, the scriptwriter's fists finally loosened reluctantly.
He took a deep breath, raised his hand to lift his long hair, and tried to make a cool pose: "I don't regret it! Because I finally showed an unprecedented wonderful magic—that guy Dongcheng always said that the script I planned was not good here and there, and he kept finding faults every day. But in the end, he still had to die in my script, hahahahaha!"
Okiya Subaru: "..." Your script? It's clearly Usa's script, and you, the "planner", are in the script yourself.
Originally he felt some pity for the scriptwriter, but suddenly he remembered that all his actions had already been clearly arranged by Uzo, and he immediately wilted again - instead of having time to pity others, he might as well pity himself and Mr. Akai, who was in Tokyo at the moment and didn't know that he had been exposed.
Okiya Subaru: “…” Come to think of it, now that I’ve lost contact, I don’t know if Mr. Akai will notice something unusual and quickly run away.
However, when thinking of Shuichi Akai, Subaru Okiya always found it difficult to associate this FBI ace with the word "escape".
Okiya Subaru: "..." And this opportunity is rare, Mr. Akai may choose to stay in Tokyo for a while and observe secretly.
However, no matter how "secret" he was, he could never be more secretive than Usa. Thinking of his previous experience, and the "freedom" that seemed within reach but was actually separated by layers of tempered glass, Subaru Okiya could not help but lower his head and wipe his face. He always felt that Akai Shuichi's future was like a fog, shrouded in the shadow of "Usa".
…
In the past, when Subaru Okiya looked at Shuichi Akai, he only saw a golden thigh, symbolizing separation from the organization and freedom.
But looking at it now, he just felt like he was looking at a fellow sufferer.
Moreover, the gate knife above his head has already fallen, but the situation on Akai Shuichi's side is still unresolved, which makes people can't help but worry for him.
But soon, Subaru Okiya realized that he didn't have time to think about it anymore - the case had been solved, and if he didn't run away while the police were busy cleaning up the case, he would be in trouble if he was caught and questioned.
Thinking of this, he took advantage of the fact that he had just moved to the edge of the curtain, stepped back silently, and disappeared into the aisle with a very low sense of presence.
Then he ran all the way to the staff lounge, found his luggage, picked it up and ran away.
Leaving the dangerous circus full of policemen, Subaru Okiya plans to go to Usa as promised and give an answer.
But at this moment, he was looking at the streets late at night and suddenly felt a little confused: Wu Zo didn't seem to say where to find him... Wait, his action of escaping from the police and that annoying kid just now, could it be that Wu Zo mistakenly thought that he was running away?
Thinking of this possibility belatedly, the hairs on Okiya Subaru's back stood up. He hurriedly took out his cell phone, intending to quickly explain that he was not trying to escape before the murderous intent came.
However, just as I took out my cell phone, it suddenly vibrated and I received a new email.
From Uzo.
"!!!"
Subaru Okiya was so scared that he almost threw his phone away, fearing that when he opened it, a bloody message would pop up on it: [Sorry, you made the wrong choice. Goodbye.]... or something like that.
Fortunately, I opened it with trepidation and found only an address, a corresponding meeting time, and Uzo's gentle words:
[Glad you chose the right future.
Looking forward to your performance——Ouzo]
“…”
Subaru Okiya stared at the screen, instinctively getting goosebumps at everything related to Usa, but at the same time he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief - only at this time, he was extremely grateful for his boss's terrifying ability to read minds, and thanked Usa for not mistaking him for wanting to run away.
Okiya Subaru: “…” Come to think of it, Usa could accurately see through every step of his escape plan. How could such a person not be clear about his current choice?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was becoming a puppet under Usa's control step by step - he gradually couldn't tell which of his thoughts were his real thoughts and which were the result of Usa's manipulation. Until he couldn't control his thoughts at all.
However, faced with repeated death threats and the reappearance of real nightmares, as someone who has experienced the whole thing, Subaru Okiya could not muster the desire to resist and escape.
Chronic suicide sounds better than "dying immediately in an extremely horrible way and experiencing all kinds of torture before death", and Uzo also promised to set him free in two years. This carrot dangling in front of him is impossible to refuse no matter what.
It seemed that he no longer needed to think about what to choose. Although Okiya Subaru felt that he still had a conscience and was a good person, he was still unable to make those heroic moves of dying in glory rather than living in disgrace... After all, Usa had not yet asked him to do anything that he could not accept.
As for the future... let's talk about the future later. Wouldn't it be good to live a few more days? After all, people can die at any time, but they can't live whenever they want.
After fully realizing his situation, Okiya Subaru gradually became less nervous.
He made a careful note of the time and address of the meeting, then watched the email shred itself and put away his phone.
The bar that Uzo chose was a famous local bar.
This surprised Subaru Okiya a little, as he had some impression of that bar - the bar was built underground, with very limited exits, and it was most crowded at night. If there was an ambush, it would be difficult for people who went there to escape.
Before meeting Usa, Subaru Okiya's impression of the organization's cadres had always been that they were "mysterious", "focused on secrecy", and "avoided crowded places and chose to meet in places where they could easily escape at any time."
But Wuzo never seemed to care about these things, nor did he worry about being arrested. Rather than hiding, he obviously preferred crowded and lively occasions. He would even sit in the store and leisurely observe other customers, watching the show as if he was appreciating a natural drama.
But if you think about it carefully, this is not incomprehensible - Wuzo just needs to ensure that no one will reveal his identity and that the people he has an appointment with will not betray him, and that will be enough.
Okiya Subaru: “…” For example, myself who is about to meet Usa.
...Now even if he had ten times the courage, he would not dare to inform others and let those people ambush Wu Zo in the store.
