Chapter 40 The Man Destined to Drown
Kamiya Aoi originally thought that his move of cutting off the source of the problem would nearly kill Amuro Tou, who inexplicably trusted him, and from then on, he would take off the illusory filter and look at him from a real and objective perspective.
Who knew that things would not develop at all as he imagined.
After listening to his complete description, I knew what his purpose was, and even saw with my own eyes what Shen Youkui did.
Amuro Toru's attitude not only seemed like he was not angry at all, but it seemed like he had figured out a problem that had been bothering him for a long time, and he suddenly became cheerful.
The gloom that had been lingering on the young man's brow for the past few days has disappeared. Amuro Toru has a baby-like face, but once he smiles, he has an outstanding appearance that is extremely friendly. Now he looks as if he is glowing all the time.
However, in contrast, Shenyou Aoi was in a not-so-good mood.
"Are you sure you want to go with me?"
He stared at Amuro Toru, who was standing next to him in a black casual suit, with a tall figure and outstanding appearance, like a male model on the catwalk. Although his tone was calm, the meaning of his question was quite clear.
"Of course." The young man with short blond hair smiled and glanced casually at Shen Youkui. "I am Xiaokui's partner. It is normal for us to complete the work in the organization together."
Perhaps because of what he was going to do today, the silver-haired boy was dressed differently than usual.
The collar of the light-colored shirt was standing upright on both sides of the chin, and it was slim and slightly tight. It was no longer the casual and soft style that he often wore in the past. A black mid-length suit jacket covered his body, making the boy's thin figure look even thinner and more gloomy.
This outfit is very formal, but the details are still lacking. Amuro Toru thought for a while, looked around and didn't find what he needed, so he smiled at Shen Youkui and said, "I suddenly remembered that I left something in the room. Xiaokui, wait for me."
The moment she heard Toru Amuro calling her name, Kamiya Aoi's eyelids twitched. She watched Toru Amuro walk out of the room, thinking that something was really wrong.
The identity of the undercover agent was in his hands, so it was impossible for Toru Amuro to openly turn against him. But he shouldn't be so amiable now.
As he thought about it, Shen Youkui couldn't help but suspect that Amuro Toru was waiting for an opportunity, ready to create an "accident" at any time to snuff out this source of danger in his cradle?
No matter how hard Yuuki thinks, he can never imagine that Amuro Toru not only has bullet screens that hold him back at critical moments, but also has a two-round memory. He knows everything he should and shouldn't know.
It is even more impossible to imagine that Amuro Toru not only does not want him to die, but also treats him as a misguided teenager who has gone astray, and is planning how to save him from the wrong path.
Shen Youkui secretly "tsk" in his heart and thought to himself that he should just go with Amuro Toru. Anyway, after he finished the next set of things, he didn't believe that the undercover agent would still be kind to him.
I don’t know where Toru Amuro, who said he “forgot something”, has been. He hasn’t come back for such a long time.
Shen Youkui glanced at the wall clock in the room, pursed his lips, and simply took out his mobile phone with one hand to continue writing the code of the "Master Key" system. The first thing he did when he got the code last week was to memorize it by rote, so that he could use it in advance this week.
The boy's hands were slender, white, with distinct joints. Holding the black phone case, they looked even more sickly and pale like a plaster statue, with a perfect shape.
There were footsteps outside the door. Shen Youkui was recalling a section of the code and said without even raising his eyes: "Too slow."
Then he heard a short chuckle.
This voice was even deeper than Amuro Toru's. Even his smile had a sinister and meaningful tone that made people's hair stand on end.
Kamiya Aoi suddenly raised her head, and a shadowy black windbreaker came into view, and above her was Gin's face with a sarcastic smile on his lips.
With the screen of his mobile phone facing downwards, Shen Youkui was not surprised at all by Gin's arrival, because he was the one who called him.
"Have you got all the information?" he asked.
Gin moved his arms and reached into his windbreaker pocket, inadvertently bringing up a lingering smell of blood. Shen Youkui smelled it sensitively and immediately realized that she had asked a stupid question.
"Ah, it's all settled."
Gin took out a black box from his windbreaker pocket and answered Kamiya Aoi's question.
Kamiyakui flipped through her phone to save the code she had just written, not paying attention to Gin's actions. Instead, she followed Gin's words to calculate the time.
The person in charge, Iyama Gen, was caught yesterday afternoon. In the evening, he and Amuro Toru had a card showdown and confrontation in the latter's room, and Kamiya Aoi went back to her room to rest in the middle of the night.
It's eight o'clock in the morning.
Gin said "everything has been solved", which undoubtedly means that the data has been obtained and sent back to the research institute where the core technical personnel are located. The defected Iyama Moto may not be dead yet, but he is probably not far from death.
As expected of a model worker of the Black Organization, she has probably been busy working since yesterday afternoon until now, with almost no rest.
Gin didn't really care that Kamiya Aoi said a few words to him and then just minded his own business.
He opened the box and took out the things inside. He leaned forward slightly, and when Shen Youkui frowned and leaned back, he took out the watch from the box, which shone with gemstone light, and put it on the latter's hand.
The cold strap felt uncomfortable against her skin, and Shen Youkui lowered her eyes and found that the size of the watch was actually very suitable.
The sapphire's radiance is condensed and low-key, luxurious and beautiful. It is neither loose nor tight on his wrist, and the dial is right next to the slightly protruding wrist bone. The square dial looks more solemn and stable than the round one, and even makes Shen Youkui's originally thin wrist look a little more powerful.
"The boss ordered me to pass it on." Gin was as serious as if he was doing a job that was like being a traitor. When he put the watch on Kamiya Aoi and walked away, a strand of silver hair suddenly slipped off his shoulder and brushed across the back of the latter's hand like a feather.
Shen Youkui often types on the keyboard with her hands on the table, on her legs, and is not used to wearing anything on her hands.
He was originally planning to take off the watch, but then he heard Gin say that it was given to him by the boss of the Black Organization. Thinking about what he was going to do next and how to meet people, he naturally regarded this watch that looked extraordinarily luxurious as some kind of proof of his identity.
Shaking her hand out of habit, Shen Youkui slightly raised her head and looked at Gin: "You don't have to go with me later. I'll let Bourbon replace you."
Gin was once considered half of the antagonist. Many of the options that Kamisama Yuu and Aoi made wrong choices in the playthroughs were ruined by Gin himself, so it was inevitable that his attitude was unfriendly before.
But now, after choosing the pure black path, Gin is his most reliable teammate in the Black Organization.
Don't overwork yourself.
"Bourbon?" Gin bit the code name, his face gradually showing a mixture of sarcasm and suspicion, "Are you sure there is no problem with the problems he encountered during the mission?"
"He..." Just as Kamiya Aoi opened her mouth, she caught a glimpse of Amuro Toru, who had gone back to his room to get something, and came back with a long black box in his hand.
Shen Youkui really didn't want to speak for the undercover agent in front of him, so she kept her mouth shut.
"Sorry to have kept me waiting." Toru Amuro seemed not to have heard Gin's words of doubt about him, and walked over with a smile, holding the long flat box in his hand.
“…”
Shen Youkui stared at the thing that was handed to her, and asked in confusion: "What is this?"
Amuro Toru held a black tie with faint golden patterns on it with two fingers, and the smooth texture of the fabric rested on his palm. He lowered his head and tapped the ornament, then raised his face and said with a smile:
"As you can see, it's a tie." Amuro Toru raised his hand, pinched the two ends respectively, walked around behind Kamiya Aoi, and gently placed it around the latter's neck.
Kamiya Aoi almost froze his expression, and subconsciously leaned back again to try to get away, but his neck was in someone's hands, and Amuro Tōru only exerted a little force and pulled Kamiya Aoi up to sit up again.
"I'll do it myself." Shen Youkui struggled.
Amuro Toru raised his eyebrows and pushed his hand away: "Don't move."
Shen Youkui felt that this scene was very strange, but it was difficult to get out of it. He calmed down with great difficulty and strength, and looked down, almost numbly watching the young man with short light golden hair adjusting the length of his tie with both hands in front of him.
Of course he could see that it was a tie, but what he wanted to ask was what Toru Amuro was doing?
With her lips moving slightly, Shen Youkui was at a loss for words.
He was afraid that Toru Amuro would give him an answer that would shock him.
As if he could see Kamiya's doubts, Toru Amuro slowly pulled the collar of his shirt out from under his tie, and then expertly tied the black tie with dark gold embroidered patterns - and even tied an elegant and dignified Windsor knot.
He explained in a brisk tone: "When attending formal occasions, a suit must have all the necessary accessories. Especially the tie, which can..." After a pause, the blond young man looked at the extra watch on Shen Youkui's hand with sparkling eyes, and then said: "This can be simple and direct, and more effectively reflect your status."
For no reason, Shen Youkui felt that the last four words were emphasized more by Amuro Toru, revealing a weird taste.
Amuro Toru performed the whole process smoothly, oblivious to the surrounding people. Although he had noticed the gemstone watch on the silver-haired boy's wrist, he pretended not to notice it and only focused on tying the tie around Kamiya Aoi's neck.
Unconsciously looking down at the tie hanging down on her chest, Kamiya Aoi suspected that if Gin wasn't there, she might have been strangled to death by Amuro Toru with this tie.
After doing all these things, Amuro Toru seemed to have just remembered that there was a third person in the room. He turned around and said with a polite smile: "Don't be so stubborn, Gin. If you don't have enough energy and disturb Xiaokui's work, the boss will blame you."
Kamiyakui suddenly felt that what Toru Amuro had just said to him was weird, but now he finally understood what weird meant.
But he couldn't let Gin go. Without Gin, he was afraid that he would be killed by Amuro Toru without knowing how.
So before Gin could even open his mouth, he stood up and interrupted, "It's almost time, let's go." After that, he didn't even look at the expressions of the two and walked out the door.
Gin still has doubts about Amuro Toru. He has no evidence, but he has a hunch that there is something wrong with this guy. Naturally, he follows closely behind Kamiyakui without saying a word.
Amuro Toru understood Kamiya Aoi's defense against him and sighed secretly. As he turned around and followed, he thought in his heart that he hoped that Gin was not there and that Kazami Yuya and the others could successfully rescue Iyama Moto and send him away.
