Chapter 80 Please Walk by My Side

Morofushi Jingguang frowned, and even though he pointed his weapon at Shen Youkui, he couldn't make up his mind to pull the trigger.

After this lesson, he understood that many things cannot be judged superficially. Acting rashly will only lead to regret.

"What? Are you still reluctant to let me go?"

The silver-haired boy held a dagger against Rei Furuya's vitals with one hand, and patted the latter's arm across his waist with the other hand. His tone was extremely sarcastic.

"Bourbon."

Unexpectedly, at such a critical moment, Zero was actually in a daze, and Morofu Jingguang called him anxiously.

"…Who are you?"

Furuya Rei did not release his grip on the silver-haired boy, and now it looked like he was being pointed at the vital points by the tip of the knife, but in reality, the two were in a balance of power.

If he really lets go, he will die.

"Why, you can't accept the reality, why don't you just treat me as someone you are not?"

The silver-haired boy spoke in a cold and sarcastic tone. Everything seemed familiar to Rei Furuya, but he had a feeling that something was wrong.

When the silver-haired boy heard Furuya Rei's question, a fleeting look of surprise flashed across his eyes.

He was about to answer when a strange voice suddenly interrupted the tense atmosphere.

"It seems I came at the right time. The scene is very exciting."

"who?!"

Zhu Fu Jingguang did not dare to turn his weapon and could only turn his head slightly to confirm the identity of the person with his peripheral vision.

In the darkness, a figure gradually walked out.

The young man, about twenty years old, was wearing an eye-catching orange hooded sweatshirt and all kinds of accessories such as necklaces and rings.

But that's not the point.

Fūya Rei looked at him for a while and suddenly remembered where he had seen this face before.

"You are...Aoi's classmate, Tachihara?"

When investigating the personnel in the Metropolitan Police Department, Yuya Kazami also brought the notes of the interrogation that day. Rei Furuya had seen this person named Tachihara in the video.

Liyuan nodded, "It's me. Hello, Zero."

"Zero" is not only his name, but also his code name as an undercover public security agent.

Fūya Rei intuitively felt that the other party was referring to the latter identity.

Without saying anything more, Tachihara looked at "Shen Youkui" and explained: "Come to think of it, why don't you check your email - if you had listened to me earlier, you wouldn't have spent so much effort to save a fake."

He turned out to be the mysterious person who sent the warning message...

"My identity is very complicated. Anyway, you just need to know that you and I are on the same side." Tachihara approached the three people in the stalemate carelessly, stood in front of Furuya Rei and "Kami Yu Aoi" and looked at the latter carefully.

"Tsk, it really looks like her. Is this really a disguise? Disguise? No way, it's like a super power."

Jianggu Ling's eyes narrowed, "Belmode."

Seeing that her disguise was exposed, "Kami Yukui" no longer insisted on imitating the boy's voice, "The boss said that an unknown guy would come to disturb us... I was wondering who it was, but it turned out to be you. Bourbon, mysticism is just an excuse to worry about the mouse's identity being exposed. I was tempted."

The boss of the Black Organization actually predicted their actions and arranged for Vermouth to disguise himself as the god Yuuki as bait.

No wonder the rescue operation went so smoothly...

There is no need to set traps, the "target" being rescued is the trap itself.

"And you, Scottish Whiskey." Bermode turned his gaze to Morobushi Kagemitsu. Although he had a smile on his face, he looked malicious.

"Hey, hey, do you think it's a matter of course that you ignore me?" Li Yuan waved his hands in dissatisfaction.

Bermode's smile faded - she really couldn't figure out what was going on with this guy.

She looked over and saw Li Yuan lowering his head, lifting up his sleeves and checking the time.

"Well, there's still time. Since we're here, why don't we just take the real sunflower sauce with us?"

What he said was too easy.

"She gave it to me."

No one could see clearly what Tachihara did. Everyone only saw a flash before their eyes, and the next moment, Vermouth, who had disguised himself as the god Yuuki, was already in the hands of the young man.

The dagger that was originally used to hold Fūya Rei's vital points was now spinning beautifully in his other hand.

"By the way, my time is limited. Zero, so is yours. Don't get so caught up in unimportant details that you lose sight of the real thing."

After Tachihara knocked Vermouth unconscious, he suddenly said something ambiguous to Furuya Rei.

Limited time? Time to evacuate?

Furiya Rei looked him in the eye calmly, "Please make your words clear."

"...I can't explain this clearly!" Tachihara rubbed his head irritably, "Anyway, time is limited! Don't pay too much attention to unimportant things!"

His identity and purpose are unclear, and his fighting power is ridiculously high.

Furuya Rei couldn't find a reason to trust him.

"I don't understand what you are talking about."

Liyuan was speechless, "Are you still going to save Aoi-chan?"

The blond young man pursed his lips slightly.

"Zero, I'm watching here too. Go rescue Kamiya Aoi first."

Morofushi Kagemitsu had never let down his guard against Tachihara. Seeing this, he took the initiative to stand opposite Tachihara and signaled Furugaya Rei to do more important things first.

Li Yuan waved his hands when he heard this. "If nothing goes wrong, Aoi-chan is in the room just now. There is a wall that is made of one-way glass. Aoi-chan is behind it."

Although I really want to ask this guy how he knows so much...but...

Yanfeng descended to the valley and Ling reminded Zhu Fu Jingguang: "Be careful."

After taking a deep look at the bored Tachihara, the blond police officer ran into the darkness again.

"Oh... please don't do it again." Tachihara said to himself while looking at the pitch-black ceiling, "No one can stand it if it happens again."

Zhu Fu Jingguang frowned, not understanding why he said these things in front of him.

"Ah, don't worry about it, don't worry about it." Li Yuan seemed to have just remembered that there was someone else here, and smiled apologetically.

However, Morofushi Jingguang clearly saw that there was no apology in his eyes, and the way he looked at him... was as if he was looking at a dead object.

…

Returning to the room, the researchers who had been knocked unconscious were still asleep.

Fūya Rei did not dare to waste time and quickly checked the wall for abnormalities, looking for the secret door leading to another room.

It was still easy to find flaws in the wall made of one-way glass. Rei Kougu just didn't notice it because his attention was not focused on it.

After removing the disguise of the one-way glass, Furukaya Rei saw the real Kamiya Aoi in the experiment this time.

Shen Youkui was lying alone in a nutrition capsule that looked a bit like science fiction. The capsule was tightly closed and seemed to be filled with some kind of liquid, which emitted a blue light under the light.

The boy's silver hair, which originally only reached behind his ears, had grown to his waist in a short period of time. It was floating in an unknown liquid, swaying gently.

This scene is too unreal.

Furiya Rei looked at everything in front of him, and suddenly in his vision there flashed the snowflake pattern that appeared every time he saw a bullet screen.

However, this time the frequency and duration of the flashing snowflakes were longer than any previous time. By the end, Furuya Rei almost saw black in front of his eyes.

“Hmm…”

The darkness and loss of vision greatly affected Rei Furuya's perception of the passage of time.

After an unknown amount of time, the flashing snowflakes in front of Furiya Rei's eyes dissipated and his vision returned to clarity.

Shen Youkui was still lying in the nutrition chamber with his eyes closed, tiny bubbles stuck to his eyelashes.

This time, there were no bullets.

Shen You Aoi, who had originally closed her eyes, opened them at this moment.

He tilted his gaze, and even though there was a layer of one-way glass between them, he still looked accurately at Fūya Rei.

The young man's lips moved, as if he said something.

Furuya Rei couldn't hear it.

Then, a strange expression appeared on the face of the silver-haired boy - as if he was in a daze, or confused.

"Hello."

With a "click", the computer next to Rei Fōtani turned on automatically, and a mechanically synthesized voice reported in a very precise manner.

"I know you, Bourbon. You are a key training target for the Japanese Public Security Bureau, Rei Furuya."

No... this isn't Shenyou Aoi either.

Fūya Rei's pupils shrank slightly, and he felt that everything before him was so absurd that it seemed like a dream.

"From the perspective of anthropology, I am Kamiya Aoi. From the perspective of psychology, my name is Karasuma Renya. Hello, Mr. Furuya Rei, nice to meet you."

The mechanical voice did not seem to intend to get a reply from Rei Furuya, and just broadcast the text from the background.

Karasuma Ren?! The boss of the Black Organization?! Furuya Rei could no longer hide his changing emotions, and his breathing quickened.

"Just by name, you might...oh, you know me? Technically, that doesn't make sense. You don't have enough authority to contact me, let alone know my name."

The mechanical voice was halfway through the announcement when it suddenly changed the subject.

Realizing that his emotional changes could be read, Rei Furuya tried to slow down his heartbeat.

"No, I don't know."

"The thing that humans are best at, but not good at, is lying. Mr. Furuya Rei, I now have eyes and can clearly see that your pupils constricted and your breathing was rapid just now - these are all manifestations of nervousness."

Now there are eyes...Furuya Rei turned his head and met a pair of forest green eyes through the one-way glass.

"...Where's Kamiya Aoi?"

Can't let him lead you by the nose.

Furuya Rei asked him the question that concerned him most.

"Yes, you are here for him. As the current user of this body, I should inform his friends of his whereabouts."

The mechanical voice said emotionlessly, "I chose him to complete the great plan. He was very resistant at first, so the plan progressed very slowly. But he was the hub I chose, so he quickly showed me his sincerity and volunteered to cooperate with me, becoming a key link in the great plan."

"...In other words, he is doing things for you that you should have done?" Furuya Rei couldn't help but ask, "Who the hell are you?!"

I have never heard of anything that can take over another person's body. This is simply a supernatural event!

"As a stone that was removed long ago, I don't mind explaining everything to you. Of course, judging by the definition of human beings, you have excellent talents, and if you wish, you can also become one of the beneficiaries of the great plan."

The boy lying in the unknown liquid raised his hand and pointed at the cabin door.

"First of all, what you said is not accurate enough. Shen Youkui is not replacing me, but assisting me. The computing power required to construct a world that seems real and beyond reality is unimaginable to humans. Even the most advanced supercomputer in the world today has far less computing power than an excellent brain."

Karasuma Renya seemed to be unaware of how horrible the words she was saying were.

"I am the undisputed mastermind of the new world, and Shen Youkui is the computing power center I chose."

"Why is it Kamiya Aoi?" Furukaya Rei couldn't help but ask.

"The human brain is excellent, but it is always affected by illogical emotions. Shen Youkui is not a human without emotions, but his brain is superior to other humans in that he is not bound by emotions."

"From the time I started watching him, he always made the right choices. He was able to stay calm and intelligent in any situation, and rationally think about the trade-offs to gain an advantage for himself."

"This is exactly what I needed."

Karasuma Renya seemed to really treat Furuya Rei as an insignificant stone. He took the initiative to explain without the latter even asking further questions:

"I was indeed a human. However, when Karasuma Renya obtained the 'Noah's Ark', Karasuma Renya was no longer a human in the universal sense. In terms of the universal definition of human, I am an AI named 'Karasuma Renya' with true autonomous consciousness."

"The Grand Plan is just a nickname. Since Karasuma Renya lives in a world defined as virtual, all we have to do is swap it with the real definition."

Rei Furuya: "You want to create a holographic world that looks real... Impossible. Even if you can do this, there will be no one else in this world except you."

"Besides, I'll stop you."

Looking behind the one-way glass, Karasuma Renya, using Kamiya Aoi's body, stared at Furuya Rei with an expressionless face.

"No human can stop me."

Karasuma Renya calmly announced the facts.

“Because I have already achieved success.”
