Chapter 155
"I never thought that the son of the experimental subject that Nishihara was talking about who was threatened by the organization was actually you."
Morofushi Kagemitsu came out from his hiding place, looked at Hoshikawa Kazuaki, and said with some surprise.
Xingchuan and Ming heaved a sigh of relief. The fact that the other party came in person as agreed already showed that the other party valued his identity as a victim targeted by the winery and the son of an experimental subject. In this way, whether it was the meeting with the Baifu vest later or the contact with the public security later, it would be much smoother.
But before that, Xingchuan Heming spoke first: "Do you know me?" He then frowned and asked tentatively: "Or, have you ever met me unilaterally?"
Zhu Fu Jingguang was stunned for a moment when he saw this, then he smiled with understanding and said soothingly:
"You don't have to be so nervous. Since the police have decided to protect you from that organization, they will naturally give you and your protector who doesn't want to reveal his identity an opportunity to communicate on an equal footing. As for the fact that I have met you, it actually stems from a personal matter of mine. Perhaps you still remember the car accident that was forced to stop by a sniper a year ago?"
Xingchuan Heming's mind was moved, and he blurted out: "So you are the sniper who blew up the tire of the truck in time?"
The things that happened in the copy suddenly appeared in my mind. No wonder a sniper with superb sniping skills suddenly came to the rescue at that critical moment, and no wonder Date Kou immediately let down his guard after looking at the phone. It turned out that the person who resolved the crisis was Morobushi Kagemitsu!
But why did he appear there at that time? It was as if he had known that a car accident would happen on that road, so he had set up his sniper rifle and waited at a suitable sniper point early, and then when the out-of-control truck hit him, he blew up the tire of the truck at the last moment, saving Hoshikawa Kazuaki and Date Kou.
However, isn't it only the comic book that knows that Date Kou died in a car accident at that time and place? Even I was able to rush to save Date Kou in time based on the accurate information provided by the comic book, although the two of them were later saved by Morobushi Kagemitsu. So the question is, why did Morobushi Kagemitsu also know?
Xingchuan and Ming quickly asked the comic book again in their consciousness: "Can you guarantee that I am the only one in the entire comic world who knows the plot? Is there any possibility that the original characters knew the future direction in advance through some method?"
The comic book also conveyed to Xingchuan and Ming that "no one except you can see the trajectory of destiny."
Xingchuan Heming had expected this answer, but the doubts in his heart still could not be solved. He simply asked the person directly:
"How did you know that the truck would lose control and Officer Ida and I would get into an accident there?"
However, Morobushi Jingguang was stunned for a moment, and then he sighed as if he had finally realized something: "I understand. It turns out that your protector hiding in the dark is him!"
Xingchuan and Ming frowned in confusion and asked, "What do you mean?"
However, Morobushi Kagemitsu did not answer him immediately, but suddenly raised his hands to protect Xingchuan and Ming behind him, and turned his head to look at the stairs leading to the rooftop. His hands were placed on his waist, and his originally gentle blue eyes were instantly stained with a fierce color.
Being pulled behind him for protection, and feeling the sudden alertness and strong aggression of Morobu Kagemitsu, Hoshikawa Kazuaki thought for a moment that his plan had been leaked somewhere, and the winery had come to him directly. He couldn't help but think of the terrible consequences of being caught by the winery as an escaped experiment, and he subconsciously shuddered and secretly became alert.
However, the next second, the door to the rooftop was opened, and a young man in black, wearing a hood and a mask, walked up slowly. A strand of flame-red hair was exposed at the edge of his hood, fluttering in the wind caused by the sudden opening of the door.
The young man's dark red eyes first quickly scanned the location of Xingchuan and Ming. After confirming that Xingchuan and Ming were fine, he turned his gaze to Morobushi Jingguang and sneered, saying:
"Scotland? I didn't expect that the foreign aid Xingchuan found was you!"
Morobushi Kagemitsu also put away his guarded posture, instantly switching back to his previous gentle image, and said with a smile: "It is you after all, Momotomi. So this is the secret you have been trying so hard to hide all these years."
Xingchuan and Ming no longer cared about what the two were fighting about. After confirming that it was Baifu in disguise who came to the rooftop, he immediately opened the comic book in a hurry. At the same time, he secretly cursed himself half an hour ago, why did he have to choose the rooftop as the meeting place, and the movement of Baifu going up the stairs alarmed Morobuki Jingguang in advance. If both sides had not recognized each other's identity at the first time, and they looked very familiar, I'm afraid they would have started fighting the moment they met.
Xingchuan and Ming skillfully clicked on the task label of "Dungeon 4" and saw the comic about the rooftop scene on the dungeon page. He raised his lips slightly, thinking that his judgment was correct, and the last vest was finally going to be activated.
However, before entering the dungeon, Xingchuan and Ming could vaguely see that Baifu Majia seemed to have discovered something and suddenly turned his head towards him with a solemn look in his eyes. However, before Xingchuan and Ming could think about it, their consciousness was swallowed up by the huge vortex of the comic book.
When he regained consciousness, Xingchuan Heming easily felt that he had entered the identity card of Baifu vest. A large amount of memories suddenly flooded in, making his brain full of paste, and strong emotions kept stirring in his consciousness. The confusion and strong uneasiness from the conscious level made him very uncomfortable.
The ID card's inherent alertness to the surrounding environment was very strong. He did not open his eyes immediately, but relied on other senses to quickly collect all the information around him.
I was lying on a cold platform, my nose was filled with the smell of disinfectant, and I roughly guessed that this was a hospital or a laboratory. Combined with the memory of the ID card this time, it should be the organization's laboratory.
His chest felt slightly cool, as if an electrode was attached. He could hear the humming of the machine and the beating of the ECG monitor, which had very subtle fluctuations because the person being monitored suddenly woke up. Bai Fu was unsure whether his physical data was being observed and recorded at this moment, so he immediately opened his eyes, and his dark red pupils scanned the surroundings vigilantly.
As expected, this was indeed the organization's laboratory, and I was lying on a large laboratory table in the center of the laboratory. My hands and feet were not restrained, and I looked like I could leave at any time, which meant that I was probably lying here on my own accord.
The various instruments around him were filled with strange and annoying fluctuations, which gradually disappeared as the distance increased. Baifu endured the interference of chaotic signals mixed in with various fluctuations, and suddenly understood in his heart that this was the fluctuation of electronic signals that he could not feel before as Xingchuan and Ming. He immediately understood why the Baifu vest, which had not yet been activated, showed such disgust when he asked about this matter as Xingchuan and Ming.
Because these fluctuations mixed with various signals are really annoying. Not only do they disturb my thoughts, but they also keep talking in my ears like buzzing flies, saying things I can't understand. I can't hit them even if I want to, and I can't hide from them either. It's really frustrating.
Now that he has become a Baifu, he is in a laboratory full of noise and chaotic signals. After just a short while, he has become so irritated that he wants to climb the wall. He finally realized how good his temper is as a Baifu. After enduring so many years of noise attacks, he only left a rumor of being a "madman" in the organization, but there were no rumors of cruelty, schizophrenia, etc. This is really not something that ordinary people can control.
In the lab, besides Baifu himself, there was only a brown-haired girl wearing a small white coat. She looked like what Haibara Ai would have looked like when she was fourteen or fifteen years old. She was obviously Shirley from three years ago.
Hearing the noise behind her, the young Shirley turned her head in confusion. After seeing the person sitting up on the laboratory table, she was obviously stunned, and then she said in a panic:
"Why did you wake up so early? It's not even the expected time yet. Is there something wrong with my previous steps?"
Baifu was still struggling with the various noisy sounds filling his ears, when he suddenly heard Shirley's clear voice that was cold but caring. It seemed that his brain, which had been messed up by the noise, suddenly found a moment of peace. He was stunned for a moment, and felt like he had met a little angel in a white coat.
"Baifu? Are you okay? How are you feeling?"
Shirley saw Baifu suddenly staring at her expressionlessly, with a hint of cold inorganic light flashing in his dark red pupils. Her heart skipped a beat and her move to move forward suddenly stopped. The girl, who had already begun to move, trembled slightly and quietly moved back.
百富回過神來,心中有些無奈。自己這次的身份卡自帶冷漠buff,連帶着無論看誰都是一副冷冰冰的表情。雖然在面對無處不在的噪音時,這樣的冷漠buff能夠幫自己随時保持冷靜,不至于真的做出撓牆的舉動,但是吓人也是真的吓人啊。沒看就連與自己合作過多次的高級實驗員雪莉,都被自己一個不經意的眼神吓到了。
“抱歉,我剛才走神了,不是故意吓你的。”百富頓了頓,見雪莉并沒有表現出更害怕的樣子,才繼續開口說道:“只是覺得你剛才說的話讓我很開心,才多看了你幾眼。”
百富在心裏嘆了口氣,再次感慨自己的性格是真的好。哪怕已經煩躁成這樣了,還能耐下心思哄孩子。當然不可否認的,冷漠buff的确幫了大忙。
不過,小雪莉的聲音是真的很好聽啊,光是聽到一句,自己就立刻開心了起來。自己作為百富,接下來大部分時間恐怕都得在酒廠裏泡着了。那麽與其要忍受那些無處不在的噪音,不如多來和雪莉說說話好了。
然而這句話聽在代號雪莉,真名是宮野志保的小女孩兒耳朵裏,再看看百富那雙仍舊泛着不詳色澤,卻也努力傳達真誠的暗紅色雙眼,雪莉不由得手足無措起來。
自己說的話讓他很開心?自己剛剛也只不過是說了一句最簡單的關心的話吧?而且這句話也并不全是對他的關切,更多的其實也只是害怕他突然發瘋,傷害到自己,才試探着問了一句而已。但是,就是這麽一句沒有多少溫情的關切話語,竟然會讓這個從來都冷漠到讓人害怕的百富威士忌,突然對自己這麽友善了起來。
雪莉并不是第一次接觸百富,但是以前打交道的次數也不多。他們雖然同屬于研究人員,但是所負責的卻是不同的研究方向。而與雪莉研究的藥物大多數用小白鼠做實驗不同,百富所研究的東西更難以出成品,試驗的對象也僅限于從曾經在地震中損毀的那間實驗室裏帶回來的實驗體,是活生生的人。
人體實驗,這是雪莉明知道一定會發生卻一直在竭力避免的東西。然而同為組織代號成員的百富,卻已經做了很多年了。再加上百富每次看過來的時候,那雙充滿不詳的暗紅色瞳孔,總是帶着壓抑的窒息感,讓雪莉每次見了都心底發毛。所以雪莉在僅有的幾次合作中,對百富的态度從來是能躲就躲,簡直把他當成了什麽洪水猛獸。
直到這一次,百富需要試驗藥效,卻沒辦法保證自己能夠在清醒的狀态下記錄數據,才不得不找雪莉幫忙。雪莉這才知道,何止是人體實驗,百富自己就是被組織掌控着的實驗體。看着資料中的那一排排冰冷的試驗數據,雪莉才明白自己之前錯的有多離譜。
這一次的合作,準确來說,是作為研究員和實驗體雙重身份的百富接受試驗,而同樣作為實驗員的雪莉作為臨時助手進行記錄和後續操作。這是雪莉第一次真正認識自己的這位同事,也是她第一次對百富說出了帶有關懷性質的試探話語。卻沒想到,百富竟然僅僅因為這一句半真半假的關懷就感動到失神。
看着那雙顏色詭異卻也充滿希翼的暗紅色瞳孔,雪莉竟然覺得自己已經不再害怕了。相反的,或許是對方的語氣太過誠摯,雪莉竟然從那張冷冰冰的臉上感受到了純粹的善意。
尚且稚嫩的雪莉立時感到十分羞愧,為自己之前的不夠真誠,也為自己對他的惡意揣測。他不知道自己要如何向對方也傳達出一份遲到的善意,只好板着臉,眼睛盯着地板的縫隙,小聲地說了一句:“我知道了。”
說完,又想到對方竟然連聽到那麽敷衍的一句關懷都會感動到失神,想必平日裏從沒有人真正關心過他吧。自己雖然也在組織裏長大,可至少還有姐姐陪着。百富在組織裏生活的時間比自己還要長,卻從來沒有人真正關心過他。
想到這裏,雪莉竟然破天荒地又加了一句:“你感覺怎麽樣?身體還撐得住嗎?”說完,只覺得尴尬得臉都紅了。
百富并不清楚眼前小姑娘的聯想,他只是在心裏感慨,不愧是雪莉,雖然外表從小就冷冰冰的,但是實際上真的是人美心善啊。看來以後可以多來蹭蹭聲音了。
想到記憶中自己在失去意識前所做的試驗,百富随手扯下身上連着的那些電極片,從實驗臺上跳下來。他忍着強烈的不适感,将手搭在身邊一直吵鬧個不停的心電監護儀上,放開了自己對周圍各種複雜信號的感知。
一瞬間,仿佛有千萬只蟲子鑽進了自己的意識深處,百富眼前一黑,強烈的嘔吐欲和猛烈的眩暈感洶湧而來。百富腳下一滑,險些站立不穩,多虧了身邊的雪莉伸手扶了一下,才堪堪穩住身形。
也多虧了這一滑,手指已經從心電監護儀上面挪開了,那些仿若無孔不入的強烈入侵感這才消失。再擡頭時,百富已經臉色慘白,滿頭滿臉的冷汗。
“百富?你感覺怎麽樣?需要我拿什麽藥劑給你嗎?”雪莉雖然焦急,但是卻也依然維持着屬于研究人員的冷靜,立即出聲詢問。
百富閉了閉眼睛,稍微緩解了一下,才緩聲回答道:“暫時不用。我休息一下就會好的。”
在被雪莉費力卻又小心翼翼地扶到座椅上休息後,百富沉思了一會兒,才看向一旁仍帶着不安的雪莉,悄聲說道:“雪莉,幫我個忙。”
雪莉眼睛頓時一亮,連忙湊了過來,也小聲道:“你說。”動作絲毫不見百富記憶中的排斥感。
這讓百富不禁疑惑,怎麽回事?和原本那個百富相處的時候還是避如蛇蠍,和自己相處的時候就突然友善起來了。就算雪莉敏感到能感受到組織成員的氣息,她也不至于連自己換了一個芯子這種事情都能感受得到吧。
“關于我在試驗後身體出現的異常反應,我希望你能幫我保密。”百富認真說道。
“保密?”雪莉探究地看向百富,思考着這句話背後的含義。“對哪些人保密?”她問道。
“聰明的女孩兒!”百富贊許道,看向她的時候滿眼都是欣賞。然後在雪莉即将有惱羞成怒的趨勢之前,解釋道:“當然,是對于包括朗姆和琴酒在內的所有成員保密。至于具體的試驗數據,因為我的實驗是直接向boss負責的,所以我稍後會單獨向boss彙報試驗進度。”
雪莉謹慎地沒有多問,默默點了點頭算是答應了下來。
百富在心裏松了口氣。他也沒想到,剛剛經歷過實驗的這段時間,自己的感知竟然會靈敏到臉自己都無法忍受的程度。這麽明顯的弱點一旦被組織裏對自己有敵意的人知曉,那簡直就是要命的弱點。雖然他有把握在适應一段時間後自己可以克服這個問題,但是在完全适應之前,自己還是要保證秘密不會外傳才行。
他知道雪莉不是多事的性格,既然答應了自己,就不會随便和人提起這件事。自己只要保證在短時間內消息不會外洩,等到自己适應了以後,就算雪莉說出去也沒關系了。而自己真正要防備的人也絕不會是雪莉,而是——
實驗室門外,突兀地響起鞋跟敲擊地板的聲音。随着“叮”的一聲電子音響起,實驗室的特制大門向兩側滑開,一個銀色長發的黑衣男人走了進來。
“你還要磨蹭到什麽時候?百富?”來人渾身帶着冰冷的氣息,綠色的瞳孔深處似乎流淌着濃稠的黑暗,讓任何一個與他對視的人都會忍不住心生寒意。
他看了看正懶洋洋地靠坐在椅子裏的百富,和站在一旁渾身僵硬吓得不敢動彈的雪莉,嗤笑一聲對百富嘲諷道:“怎麽,終于控制不住你的瘋病,想要對組織的實驗員下手了?”
百富懶得理他,只回敬了一個冰冷陰郁的眼神,然後斜着瞥了一眼被來人吓得渾身發抖的小雪莉一眼。
“之前的實驗數據立刻打包給我發過來,我要用。”再次以組織成員百富的身份開口時,他的語氣冰冷得如同冬天裏被雪覆蓋了的堅冰。
雪莉迅速點頭,然後像是逃跑一樣地快步離開了兩人的視線。百富沒有再關注雪莉,而是若無其事地從椅子裏站起身,轉頭看向來人,繼續用他一成不變的冰冷語調說道:
“我這邊的實驗已經完成了。帶我去通訊室,我需要親自向boss彙報進度。之後的兩個月是實驗觀察期,你不許再給我添任何麻煩,琴酒。”
Looking at Baifu's crazy behavior, which was completely for the sake of experiment, Gin didn't know whether this guy was pathetic or ridiculous. He just sneered, turned around and walked out.
Baifu immediately followed behind, but in his heart he reminded himself again that the person he needed to be wary of first was the person in front of him, Gin!
