Chapter 18: After the BE Ending

As long as I run fast enough, bad luck can't catch up with me.

She found a secluded corner early to watch the show and Shen Youkui rushed over without any hesitation, picking up her skirt.

Who knew that as soon as he lifted the heavy curtain, he would be face to face with a corpse with a distorted face and bulging eyes.

Shen Youkui: "..."

It seemed that he was running too fast and outrunning his misfortune.

For a moment, Kamiya Aoi really didn't know which experience was more unfortunate: witnessing the crime scene or being seen by acquaintances wearing women's clothing.

The body was unidentified, its face was dark purple, its eyes were bulging, and there was a broken champagne glass next to it. It was not difficult to tell that the cause of death was poisoning.

Not all of the attendees at this banquet were well-known figures in the police force, and former Metropolitan Police Department Director General Fujii Jinshiro was also in attendance.

The only person who would have the guts to kill someone in such a situation would be his damned colleague in that damned organization.

Shuichi Akai was performing a midnight show with Miss Fujii about why the eldest lady was like that, and besides, he had no reason to attack ordinary people.

It goes without saying that Toru Amuro is capable of using such ruthless means as poisoning. The first person to experience this must have been an unlucky colleague at the winery.

The only one who had the motive to do it and had no qualms about attacking ordinary people was Vermouth.

From the time she walked into the banquet hall to the time some unlucky person fell dead, it probably took less than twenty minutes.

If she had not been busy using a pseudonym to make friends with celebrities in Hollywood in her early years, she would have kicked Gin out of its position as the distillery's business leader.

Shen Youkui was silent for two seconds, then silently pulled the curtains tight to cover up the painful death of the deceased again.

Since running too fast will only lead to bad luck, it is better to start running head-on with bad luck.

Looking into the extravagant banquet hall, Shen Youkui still remembered why he was wearing women's clothes. After finding Fujiiko's position, he stepped forward and stood in a position where he could be seen but not attract too much attention.

Obviously, he has changed his character again and is ready to play the role of a simple girlfriend, pushing the plot of the night drama "Why is the Miss Like That" to the climax of the conflict between the "girlfriend" and the rich girl.

…

The first person to come was Toru Amuro, who was pointing and gesticulating like a cheater with bullet screens in front of him.

Of course, Kamiya Aoi didn't know that Toru Amuro had bullet screens to guide him. When the latter walked towards him, he just pretended that he didn't know "Mr. Serizawa" and stayed there calmly, waiting for his script to be triggered.

Kamiya Aoi noticed that as Toru Amuro, who was disguised as "Mr. Serizawa", walked along, there seemed to be several hidden gazes following him invisibly. After seeing him, they turned to the other side and saw "Mrs. Serizawa" who was chatting and laughing with Akai Shuichi.

This look full of anticipation is very similar to the way the shopping guide in the mall looks at him and Akai Shuichi!

Shen Youkui: "..."

He gradually understood everything.

Amuro Toru stood in front of Kamiya Aoi, struck a classic conversation pose, and said with a smile: "This lady, it seems that this is your first time attending such an event?"

The "girl" in a long green dress trembled her eyelashes, quickly raised them to look at him, and then lowered them to avoid eye contact.

"Yes...what can I do for you?"

What a lively, naturally shy girlish posture.

Amuro Toru: “…”

He was slightly shocked by Kamiya Aoi's acting skills and did not take on this scene.

He even suspected that Shen Youkui acted like this simply because she didn't recognize who he was.

"What are you doing?"

Ms. Fujii came in with a champagne-colored long dress and a questioning look in her eyes. Kamiyakui clearly saw that the eyes of the guests around her brightened a little.

"Ms. Fujii." Toru Amuro was the first to react, greeting her in an attitude befitting of Serizawa's identity.

But Miss Fujii looked very unhappy towards him, and when she saw "Mrs. Serizawa" on the other side, who was almost holding Akai Shuichi's arm with both hands, her expression became even more angry.

She suddenly turned to Shen Youkui and asked repeatedly: "He clearly brought you to the banquet, but he went to talk to that woman and left you here alone???"

Shen Youkui was stunned: "...Uh, he..."

Where was the rich girl who was supposed to pick on the simple girlfriend? Why didn't he know about the temporary change of the script?

Toru Amuro looked at Kamiya Aoi's face, which was a mixture of depression and dullness, and tried to suppress his smile while coughing lightly twice.

"And you!" Ms. Fujii pointed at Amuro Toru and stood in front of Kamiya Aoi, blocking the two of them. "Your wife flirts with other people and you come here to flirt with other girls. Do you think she is weak and easy to bully?"

Toru Amuro's expression suddenly became very interesting: "..."

Shen Youkui was silent and thought the current script was not bad.

"Let's go!" Miss Fujii rolled her eyes at Toru Amuro and Shuichi Akai who seemed to be about to come over not far away, turned around, picked up Kamiya Aoi and wanted to leave.

Unexpectedly, the overly long dress skirt could not match the young lady's fierce and powerful movements. Miss Fujii stumbled and subconsciously let go of Shen Youkui to grab something around her that could provide leverage.

Seeing with her own eyes the direction in which Miss Fujii fell, Kamiya Aoi thought to herself that something bad had happened and quickly reached out to help her.

He didn't want such a lovely girl to be the one who found the body and leave a shadow on her.

However, Ms. Fujii was faster and had already grabbed the heavy curtain before Kamiya Aoi reached out.

This catch is the climax of the play.

The curtain that was previously held tight by Kamiya Aoi fell into the hands of Miss Fujii, who used it to stabilize herself and avoid falling in public.

However, the heavy curtain was torn open a little, and Ms. Fujii, who stood up straight, came directly into the eyes of the corpse with bulging eyes behind the curtain.

Ms. Fujii: “…”

Shen Youkui closed her eyes helplessly.

No one noticed that Amuro Toru's eyes were slightly dull and his back was strangely stiff.

[Aoi: Hurry up and close the curtains! There’s still time!]

[Big eyes staring at small eyes.jpg]

[The one in front of me staring at you... this smile is the merit of my ten years!]

[Red dot is late but it arrives]

[The Grim Reaper has collected heads]

[Was it Kagemitsu or Gin who fired the gun?]

[Get away from the window, girl! The sniper's red dot is all over your skirt!]

[High energy ahead!! Attention, this is not a drill!!]

"ah--!!!"

A scream suddenly spread through most of the banquet hall, causing quite a commotion. Miss Fujii stepped back repeatedly, and her long skirt once again caught her steps. She was about to fall to the ground.

Kamiya Aoi and Amuro Toru took a step forward at the same time and stretched out their hands together.

Kamiya Aoi, who was originally closer to Ms. Fujii, stepped forward and replaced her position, standing right in front of the window.

Amuro Toru held on to Miss Fujii with one hand, and just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he looked up and saw Kamiya Aoi standing in front of the window looking at him against the light, and his heart inexplicably tightened——

“Bang!”

The sound of a gunshot was heard like an auditory hallucination, and a flower of blood burst out from Shen Youkui's chest.

The long hair that was tied up fell down again, and the thin body was swaying in the backlight. Amuro Toru hurried forward, grabbed Shen Youkui's shoulders and dragged her behind the wall.

In just a few seconds, Kamiya Aoi's skirt was stained with dark blood. She was half lying in Amuro Toru's arms, and soon the latter's hands became wet and sticky.

Amuro Toru couldn't figure it out. Who was it? Who could it be? There were three people standing in front of the window just now. Who was this shot...

Shen Youkui was in so much pain that he couldn't figure out who shot him from the dark. But he had already been shot, so he couldn't take it for nothing!

I couldn't scream out even though it was excruciatingly painful, and I couldn't show it even though I didn't understand what was going on.

He has to pretend!

"You'd better... not pay too much attention to me." The silver-haired young man had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead due to the pain, but his eyes and tone were still calm.

Toru Amuro quickly tore off a shirt to bandage the wound of Kami Yuuki. When he started, he touched the soft disguise props on the opponent's chest and paused for a moment. The next moment, he continued the action without hesitation.

The silver-haired young man's lips, which had just opened, immediately moved up and down, and he clenched his teeth and groaned.

"Don't stay here." Shen Youkui said weakly.

Amuro Toru's technique of bandaging the wound was quite skillful, but if he were hit with such force again he would definitely scream out in pain.

In order to tighten the wound and reduce the amount of bleeding, Toru Amuro said nothing and tightened his hands.

Shen Youkui, who was already dying, suddenly felt a black screen before his eyes. His lips trembled twice, and he seemed to be unable to speak. He closed his eyes, tilted his head and passed out.

Asshole!! You must be so strong on purpose!!

How could Toru Amuro know what the unspoken curse from the calm and self-possessed Kamiya Aoi was? He was more concerned about the meaning of those two sentences.

[Wuwuwu, this is so tearful! Aoi must have protected Toruko for Kenji, as she couldn’t bear to see Kenji’s friend get hurt]

[When will Touko realize that our Aoi is really Red! Aoi, who is hiding her true colors, is in pain]

[If they weren’t seeking revenge for Hagiwara Kenji, they could have become good friends… Just before Aoi passed out, she was still chanting Kenji’s name.]

[Wait, in that scene just now, wasn’t Kamiya Aoi just standing there blocking the shot and forgetting to run? From that angle, it didn’t look like she was preparing to block the shot.]

[If he wasn't there to block the bullet, how could he have stood there at such a perfect time! And even though he was so badly injured, he was still reminding Touko that the matter was not over yet!]

[My defense is broken... This shot was fired by Keimitsu, ah wuwuwu! He wanted to hurt Toruko so that he would have an excuse not to participate in the operation at the winery, but Aoi doesn't know, Aoi doesn't know! He only knows that someone wants to hurt Toru Amuro, Kenji's friend!]

The amount of information in the last few bullet points is really too much.

The purple-grey pupils shrank dramatically, as if to prove that what the bullet screen said was true, and screams rang out again in the already chaotic banquet hall.

——This time, the one who fell was the former Metropolitan Police Department Director-General, Fujii Hitoshiro.

Vermouth and Akai Shuichi, in disguise, quickly moved through the crowd and approached, one on the left and one on the right.

Akai Shuichi leaned over and picked up Kamiya Aoi horizontally. As soon as Amuro Toru raised his hand, Vermode on the side said coldly: "Gin asked us to leave immediately and investigate who just shot CR."

"Is it all right for you to take care of this, Bourbon?"

The person who fired the gun... Amuro Toru clenched his fists and stood up, saying coldly: "If we rush over now, we can still find clues. I'll chase him and see."

Before leaving, Toru Amuro turned around and took a look.

Shen Youkui was fainting, his face was pale, his eyes were tightly closed. His loose silver hair was stained with a large irregular bloodstain, which gradually overlapped with a certain scene in his memory.

The author has something to say:

The scene in Touko's memory at the end has been mentioned in the previous text. If you still don't understand it, you can look up at the title.

I'd like to quietly recommend an article, "I sneaked into the upper echelons of the Red and Black by talking nonsense". Although it is only two words long, the setting is very interesting and fun. I didn't write anything in the afternoon, so I went to read this article.

Title: How can this not be considered saving the world?

Copywriter:

Ordinary office worker Tsukasa Eiki accidentally got tied to a live broadcast salvation system and embarked on the path of becoming a savior.

From then on, he was worried about the barrage in his live broadcast room.

The red and black camps were fighting fiercely, and the barrage actively suggested: "The anchor can try the tragic route of the strong and beautiful with deep difficulties! Or kick down important figures, the holy father Bai Yueguang who hides his merits and fame! Resolve disputes with love!"

Tsukasa Eiki: "I choose an agent who makes money every day."

Bullet screen: “?”

The superpowers are running rampant, and anarchists are causing trouble crazily.

The bullet screen made another plan: "Listen to me! This time, just act like a traitor and take advantage of the situation. As long as you get the key item, no one can stop you! The next step is to become the mastermind behind the silent plot! Force a nuclear strike!"

Tsukasa Eiki: "I think what you said makes sense. We should use love to resolve conflicts, so I decided to become a charity speaker."

Bullet screen: "???"

The cursed spirits are killing innocent people, and the sorcerers are still fighting among themselves. Danmu was confused and said, "This... How about we give more rewards and kill all the cursed spirits?"

Ying Musi: "So this is called sitting on a mountain of gold and begging for food... I think I'm going to get rich again."

Bullet screen: "????"

Why do you say again?

Later——

A three-headed detective openly enters and exits the winery laboratory to get the antidote. The winery may become the Rainbow Society of the scientific world.

The Black Mud Spirit was busy studying and taking exams to get his degree, while the Rice Ball Handsome Boy was being urged to submit his book for a book signing event until he vomited three liters of blood.

A new generation of energy, "Curse Spirit", has emerged. It is cheap and has strong endurance. The Curse Master family has become a new elite in the business world.

Bullet screen: "Excuse me, Mr. Yingmu Tsukasa, do you think you are saving the world?"

Ying Musi: "Hmm... why not?"
