Chapter 36
Xingchuan and Ming stared at the hooded man fiddling with the trademark with a strange expression, their emotions were so complicated that it was hard to describe them in words.
If this guy is really one of my unactivated aliases as I guessed, then what is the point of all the effort I put in before?
Are you hitting yourself for fun?
In order to make the original plan go smoothly, he even had to waste an opportunity to use the comic book. Now not only has the good reviews been completely consumed, but he also has to be prepared to deal with the bad things that are about to come.
This attempt on the hooded man was a huge loss!
But if I didn't do this, how would I know that he would have such an identity.
No wonder I had no defenses against him, no wonder all my memories of the hooded man seemed to be blocked. If they were the same person, then all this would make sense.
Facing your disguise in the scientific world is like facing another self in the world. Although different experiences have led to different personalities, the essence inside will not change. After all, who will guard against themselves?
And since this vest has not been activated yet, I will definitely have to go back to the past through the copy mission in the future to complete the timeline.
In other words, although from the timeline, I have known each other for many years, but in reality, I have not experienced the things in those copies until now.
Since I haven't experienced it yet, it's only natural that I don't remember anything about him, right?
Hoshikawa and Ming opened the comic book's copy page, moved the screen closer to the hooded man, and watched the changes in the labels of the other three copies.
However, the results were not ideal, as none of the three tags reacted to the presence of the hooded man.
Xingchuan Heming was a little disappointed with the result, but he would not deny his previous inference because of it.
After all, the lack of response can only mean that to activate the dungeon, it is not enough to simply find the identity of the vest or successfully contact the other party to meet the activation conditions. There must be some other requirements that I have not yet met.
Xingchuan and Ming quickly accepted this fact and began to think about how to get along with each other in the future.
Now that I know the true identity of the hooded man is a vest, in order to activate the vest as soon as possible, I must contact him more. After all, the activation method still needs to be slowly explored with the other party.
Moreover, since they are one of us, we should naturally take more care of each other when designing the script in the future.
Unfortunately, this gangster-like guy was a little hard to talk to. Seeing that Xingchuan and Ming were staring at him for a long time, he actually glared at them, which froze Xingchuan and Ming instantly and brought them back to their senses.
"Hey, don't be angry, I just want to ask, what should I call you?"
Now that they knew it was their own aliases, Xingchuan and Ming were no longer polite and could just ask directly if they wanted to know.
But what he didn't expect was that this former gangster in front of him just smiled at him maliciously, said "Don't you want to investigate it yourself? Then I'll wait for you to find out the result before coming back", and then left directly...
Wait, he left!
Xingchuan and Ming Jianzhi were shocked!
"Hey! Don't leave yet! You haven't told me the details about Ryo Nagata, how can I investigate? And about Xiaozhi who sent me the notice, do you know something about him?"
However, the hooded man just left a mocking sneer, turned a corner with a few steps, and then disappeared in a flash with the sound of the engine starting up, driving the car that had been parked here for a long time.
Only Xingchuan and Ming were left standing beside the vending machine, stunned.
No way, he clearly has a car parked nearby, but he doesn’t want to take me home?
And this guy obviously knows a lot of things, but not only does he refuse to say a word, he also plans to take advantage of the situation as soon as the results come out?
Didn't I expect that my alias would be such a black-hearted monster?
Sighing, Xingchuan and Ming had no choice but to walk back directly.
However, he was facing another important problem at this time:
He had just used up all the good points in the comic book space! According to the usual practice of comic books, he would probably make a big mistake next.
Comparing this with the bad luck they had experienced in the past, where they were either murdered or hospitalized, how could Xingchuan and Ming dare not be careful at this time?
Not to mention that there was a guy who had been lurking in the dark, which made Xingchuan and Ming walk very carefully along the way, fearing that they would have to go to the hospital again.
However, he did not encounter any unexpected situations until he returned home. Instead, because he was too nervous, he was actually startled when he saw the door of his house was open.
Then he remembered that he had deliberately created the effect of not closing the door in time in order to make it seem more realistic when he was acting.
So, this time the bad luck has not come yet?
It's a terrible feeling to be waiting for the other shoe to drop but it never comes.
Xingchuan and Ming were so tired that they had no desire to sleep, so they opened a comic book to see what forum readers thought of their performance tonight.
However, when he clicked on the comic post, he was immediately flooded with a series of exclamations.
【Hahahahahaha what did I see? Elementary school students of the God of Death were forced to do exercises? And there were such huge piles of them! Hahahaha I can’t take it anymore, why am I enjoying this so much?】
[Primary school students should do exercises. If they can't do them, they should memorize them all! Come on, I can also give you a stack of five-three here. I guarantee that all the energetic kids will memorize their textbooks and not be able to escape death.]
[But it's so strange, why is the expression of Little Star holding the juice drawn so gloomy? ]
[Looking at Conan's expression, he seems guilty. So something must have happened between these two people before? For example, Conan was a bear again and fell into Xiao Xingxing's hands, and now he is suffering retribution? ]
[Hahaha, this is the mystery version of love-hate relationship, right? ]
…
Xingchuan and Ming flipped through the comic book and found that it had automatically turned to the page that they had finished reading when they closed the forum last time.
Seeing everyone's inexplicable emotions rising after Conan was teased, he couldn't help but sigh that Conan's popularity is really high.
Then I naturally and quickly skipped over these meaningless emotional outbursts and quickly found the comic content related to this part of the script I designed.
What made Xingchuan and Ming more satisfied was that the plot of the comics seen from the perspective of the forum comics was indeed the plot directly presented to the police after their own design.
Forum readers cannot see the hooded vest visit their home in advance.
They just saw themselves accidentally encountering a thief and murderer after returning home, and then accidentally met a "enthusiastic passerby" during the chase, and with his help they finally bravely chased in the right direction.
However, what is interesting is that in the comic, he actually passed by the agreed location while tracking the criminal, and happened to pick up the criminal's dropped mobile phone, and then finally found Date Kou through the Metropolitan Police Department.
The statement that he had picked up the phone was actually just an excuse he made up in front of Date Kou to cover up his lie.
Because I didn't even include the broken phone in the script, I didn't actually plan to perform such a scene in advance, but the comic book still added this scene based on my narration.
Xingchuan and Ming did not expect that the comic book could be so suitable for them. And now it seems that the effect is surprisingly good.
It seems that I accidentally adopted the Hood's opinion, which helped me find a better way to interpret the comic book.
At the end of the comic, Subaru Okiya was still mistaken by a "helpful passerby" as a thief and murderer who had escaped. Then, just when Subaru Okiya was about to be arrested by the police, Hoshikawa Kazuaki descended from the sky like an angel and helped Subaru Okiya clear his suspicion.
However, here, the comic book actually added a flashback for Okiya Subaru, and the content is the scene that has not been released before, in which Okiya Subaru misjudged and knocked Hoshikawa Kazuaki unconscious with one punch in the alley.
It was the first time for Hoshikawa Kazuaki to know that the placement of comic books could be adjusted according to the needs of the plot.
I don’t know if it’s because of the comic’s special effects, or if that’s just the way I felt at the time. When I arrived at the agreed location, I had a background halo when I first appeared, which made the readers’ eyes light up.
And when he made up his mind to defend Okiya Subaru, the comic book gave him an angel special effect, and a glowing shadow like angel wings appeared behind him.
Even though Hoshikawa and Akira did use some headlights to illuminate the scene, they only wanted to highlight the characters. But they didn't expect that the effect would be exaggerated to this extent after being included in the manga.
Even Hoshikawa Kazuaki, who was used to performing, couldn't help but blush. The forum was so mesmerized by this scene that people screamed.
[Ahhh my little star! You really are a little angel, right? So warm and kind, wuwuwu such a good little star, how can I love you?]
[And smile, look at the warm smile of little star, so charming, shashasha]
[Sisters, did you notice that when Xiao Xingxing first recognized that it was Subaru Okiya who was arrested, he was stunned for a moment. He recognized Subaru Okiya! And Subaru Okiya's memory also made it very clear that he had mistaken Xiao Xingxing for a bad guy and beat him up. As a result, what did Xingchuan and Ming do now? They let bygones be bygones! They are so kind and tolerant that they have become angels! Didn't you see that even a heartless scumbag like Akai Shuichi was shocked? ]
[You have to watch it from the beginning! Watch it from the beginning! Why did Little Star appear? Because he was worried that the police would make a wasted trip, so he simply brought the criminal here himself! This is no longer just gentleness and kindness! Was the background light when he appeared just a highlight? No! That was the light of his humanity! And then you look at the look in Little Star's eyes. His mood was so complicated when he faced Okiya Subaru, but he chose to let go of his grudges on the spot, and his humanity was sublimated directly! That's why his angel wings are so beautiful, so beautiful. I have to be calm.]
[Isn't the angel image of Xingchuan too perfect here? Let me give you a simple analysis. I really approve of the wings that appeared in the later part. He was not given the title of angel just because he saved people at the beginning, but when he chose to let go of the grudge with a joke, the warm and bright aura radiating from the inside out gave people the feeling of an angel on earth.
Did you notice that Okiya Subaru was actually shocked by Hoshikawa at that time. Don't forget who Okiya Subaru is, he is the FBI ace Akai Shuichi. Even if he was arrested, there would still be people to rescue him. So if it was just a simple testimony, it would not have such a big impact on him. But he saw with his own eyes that Hoshikawa took the initiative to let go of the old grudge in order to save him, so he was moved to death on the spot.
Don't think this is just a small matter. If it were someone else, how many of them would be so tolerant and kind to this extent for someone who has hurt them?
Shuichi Akai has been dealing with the winery for so many years, and has seen nothing but the cunning and dark side of human nature. He even has to pretend to be like this. But his nature is not like this! His emotions are even richer than those of ordinary people, so he particularly hates the evil side of human nature, and naturally he has an immense yearning for the good side of human nature.
Hoshikawa took the initiative to put aside the past to save him, and testified for him without hesitation. More importantly, Hoshikawa did this without asking for anything in return. This is pure kindness, the warmest and brightest side of human nature. So in Shuichi Akai's eyes, Hoshikawa was an angel at this moment! Even the angel special effects in the back were actually drawn from Subaru Okiya's perspective.
So at this time, Hoshikawa is definitely a true angel. Having said so much, I actually like this image of angel wings too, hahaha.】
…
Xingchuan and Ming read the feedback from these readers carefully, and after reading it, they still felt it was too incredible, so they couldn't help but read it again. Only then did he finally believe that his performance had received such high praise in the forum.
Although he had always wanted to earn more positive reviews in the forum, he had never really imagined that there would come a day when his performance would be loved and recognized by so many people.
He has always known that he is just an ordinary person who was lucky enough to be chosen by a comic book.
However, this is the first time that an ordinary person like me has actually done something extraordinary.
Xingchuan Heming touched the spot on his heart and felt that his heartbeat became exceptionally loud at this moment. His whole body was filled with endless strength and he even became alive.
The corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably, and then he looked down at the forum with even greater interest.
However, immediately afterwards, Xingchuan and Ming's expressions became serious, their brows slightly wrinkled, and the speed at which they flipped through the comics suddenly increased.
The forum even included the scene where he and the hooded vest walked to the street park in the comic!
He still remembered that he had talked to the hooded man about the content of the play! Once the reader saw such a conversation, the previous play would be exposed!
Hoshikawa Kazuaki quickly flipped through the pages of the comic book, and only relaxed his frown at the end, sighing helplessly.
The comic book did not reveal anything about the plot, but it did reveal the suspicious identity of the Hooded Vest.
Just by looking at the hooded man in the comic, with cold eyes and a murderous look on his face, discussing with himself whether he could sense the electronic signal from the eavesdropping device, one could imagine that his identity as a winery was about to be exposed in the forum.
really.
[Wait, am I seeing this right? Isn't this guy wearing a mask a kind passerby who got involved in the incident? How did he suddenly become so weird? And he looks like he knows Xiao Xingxing very well...]
[Didn’t the masked man say that he had just returned to visit Little Star, but when they met, he saw Little Star tracking down a thief and murderer, so he helped. The hot-blooded idiot before must have been in disguise...]
[Isn't this the problem? Why would this guy pretend to be someone he is not good at? And look at what he said, he can actually sense electronic signals, is this something that ordinary people can sense? Definitely not! So I dare say that this guy definitely has an identity problem! ]
[Blindly guessing that a winery produces real wine! Look at the cold and stern look on his face. If it's not real wine, it would be a waste of resources, okay? ]
[But why does Little Star want to know a real bottle of wine? I think it must be a fake wine, otherwise Little Star will be in danger. ]
[Wait a minute, look at this guy's arms! His clothes don't fit him well, and when he was taking a Coke bottle from the vending machine, his sleeves slipped up, exposing his arms. The inside of his arms are full of pinholes!!!]
[Pinholes everywhere, strange abilities, hidden identities, what did the sisters think of? 】
[Wait... you mean...]
[Experimental subject! The organization's experimental subject! ]
[But according to him, he knew Little Star in his early years. And he also believed that as long as Little Star was willing to practice, he would also be able to sense electronic signals! Could it be that Little Star was also an experimental subject like him? ]
【What!? 】
There was a sudden wailing in the forum, and Xingchuan and Ming were also horrified.
How could this happen?
Because of the angle, he did not see the arm of the hooded vest at that time, so he did not know about the pinhole until now. And he was sure that the hooded vest was indeed related to the winery.
So, is it true that he had been a test subject at the winery as the forum speculated?
What about me? Why is the Hood so sure that I can sense electronic signals just like him? But I don't have any memory of the laboratory?
Wait, memory!
Xingchuan and Ming's expressions gradually became colder and sharper.
My memory has been problematic for a long time, but I always thought it was just a side effect of inheriting my ID card.
But if we think about it another way, if the habitual memory loss is actually related to a particular experiment...
Plus his weird electron-killer physique...
It can't be that unlucky, right? Could I really be the winery's experimental subject?
