Chapter 205 The Third Player
It was rare for Xihai Qingdou to stay in a world where he didn't have to do anything. He hid for several months and maintained the image of a "greedy villain" and didn't appear in any crowd.
In order to avoid any mistakes, he even stayed away from Tokyo and Kyoto, and even found a remote mountain forest.
The only thing I did during that time was probably to find time to send "Amenakaboko" back to Fushiguro Shinobu?
But I don't think that guy would suddenly come to him for no reason.
Fortunately, although the "Greedy Beast" is greedy, it is also okay to not eat anything. After all, there will not be such absurd things as "a top-grade cursed spirit is starved to death".
Honestly speaking, such days are safe and also quite lazy, as there is no work at all… but boredom also becomes very boring after a long time. Even though he can "connect to the Internet" through the system, Xi Hai Qing Dou gradually loses interest.
Fortunately, a few months later, before Xi Haiqing Dou fell into complete boredom, the world consciousness of this time finally found them again and told him that his mission was completed very successfully and he could leave.
[…You can’t take the “greedy beast” away.] The voice of the world consciousness echoed in Xi Haiqing Dou’s mind.
Xi Haiqing Dou, who was just about to secretly "smuggle" the vest back with the system: "..."
Abominable.
"The Greedy Beast" is, after all, a "cursed spirit" that belongs to this world. It can probably be considered a "world specialty", so it cannot be taken to other worlds... Saikai Haruto thought about it for a long time, and in the end he could only separate the consciousness of "The Greedy Beast" and "Igarashi Yuki" with hatred, and then took back the vest belonging to "Igarashi Yuki" alone - is this okay?
Fortunately, the world consciousness did not say anything like "Yuuki Igarashi can't be taken away either".
As for the "greedy creature"... Xihai Qingdou can only use the vest hosting mode on the vest of this special cursed spirit, and add a little special care from the world consciousness... there shouldn't be any problem, right?
Well, even if there are any problems, it is not his responsibility now. His mission has been completed anyway.
[Host, host, the results of the popularity vote on the forum here are out - Congratulations, host, you are the second place this time! ]
The system's voice also rang out, carrying with it some kind of mechanical enthusiasm and excitement.
It is a rare happy ending.
So, satisfied, Xi Hai Qing Dou turned around and left this world with the system without any regrets.
After he came to this world, the flow rate between the two worlds became 100:1, so even if he stayed in this world for nearly three years, after he returned, only a little more than ten days had passed.
Almost at the same moment, in two different locations, the young man with long white hair and the man with medium-length black and purple hair opened their eyes at the same time, and the confusion in their eyes turned into calmness within a few seconds.
It's a rare opportunity to get used to operating two identities at the same time... "Yuyuan Chiaki" and "Mochizuki Kaoru" shook their heads at the same time, as if trying to get rid of the discomfort in their heads.
The young man with white hair and golden eyes sat up from the bed, put on his shirt and tie neatly, put his pistol on his waist, and then began to comb his slightly messy soft white long hair;
At the same time, the elegant young man with purple-black hair lifted the quilt, first calmly put the glasses placed on the bedside cabinet back on his nose to cover his overly beautiful peach-like eyes, and then slowly found suitable clothes to put on.
It’s already February 13th…
After charging the turned-off mobile phone, the screen finally lit up after a while. Looking at the time displayed on it, the young man with white hair and golden eyes lowered his eyes and blinked thoughtfully.
He slept until the day before Valentine's Day, and Valentine's Day is in two days.
The place where "Yu Yuan Qian Qiu" was located was a safe house belonging to "Cointreau". He stretched his waist and pulled open the black curtain in front of the window that blocked the entire room without any light, and then squinted his eyes reflexively -
It was still daytime outside and the sunlight was bright and a little dazzling, making the young man's skin, which was already much whiter than that of ordinary people, look particularly pale.
Xihai Qingdou paused for a moment, then without hesitation, he pulled open the black curtains all at once.
The sunlight shone on him through the glass windows, bringing with it a warm feeling. Xi Hai Qing Dou took a deep breath - and then couldn't help but sneeze twice in succession.
——This room had not been cleaned for ten consecutive days, so naturally the only thing that accumulated in the room was dust. What he breathed in...naturally, was also dust.
When the sneezing stopped, Xi Haiqing Dou turned back and opened his cell phone again with some unfamiliarity.
First, open the address book.
At the top is a contact form with a special note.
Gin "The most deceptive Jin-chan"
Xi Hai Qing Dou smacked his lips, flipped through his address book from top to bottom, and finally clicked on Gin's contact information and called him.
"Moshimoshi~ Is it Zhenjiang?"
“… Not dead?”
A deep and cold voice sounded from the other end of the phone, carrying an impolite and malicious sarcasm.
"There was no news for ten days. I thought you were killed."
Xi Haiqingdou ignored his attitude. Even though he knew that Gin on the other end of the phone couldn't see him, he still put on an innocent smile on his gentle and handsome face, which was two shades paler than an ordinary person: "Ah, that's great - Jin-chan, do you still remember my name?"
This familiar bad, damn infuriating feeling...
Gin on the other end of the phone frowned and unconsciously tightened his grip on the phone.
Then he heard a familiar voice on the other side saying in a calm and innocent tone: "I found that I seem to have lost my memory."
Gin's eyes went dark.
——This guy’s “sequelae” has struck again.
He saw this with great clarity.
"Where are you now?"
“I don’t remember.”
"…find a computer near you and open it."
Saikai Haruto did as he was told: "But there's a password... I can't seem to open it."
The young man typed in a string of numbers and the result showed "Wrong password" innocently.
"…Unzip the necklace around your neck. The computer password is stored on it—you said it yourself." Gin's voice was simple and concise.
Xi Haiqing Dou then lowered his head and actually took out a silver necklace from his neck.
There is nothing special about the necklace, just a simple pattern on one side and a few simple numbers on the other side.
After thinking for a while, Xi Haiqing Dou entered the password.
Wrong password.
The password is correct.
"It's open," he said.
"You installed the location service on your computer yourself, so you open it yourself. I'll be right over there."
Gin said, and added a warning: "Don't run or move around until I pass by."
"Am I the kind of person who would make a fuss?" Saikai Haruto said, feeling aggrieved: "Jin-chan, you are too worried and don't trust me."
"Don't call me by my name like that, Yuyuan Chiaki. It's disgusting." Gin gritted his teeth and warned him: "Gin. My code name."
"Okay, I understand, Jin-chan." Saikai Haruto said perfunctorily. While making the call, he began to operate the computer restlessly. He even had time to ask him curiously, "Is Yuen Chiaki my name?"
Gin sneered: "It's a stupid name."
Saikai Haruto: "Oh, I see. Is this your real name, Jin-chan?"
"Yuen Chiaki." Gin said with a stronger tone this time. His voice was calm, but it sounded particularly cold and hard: "You are that idiot."
Saikai Haruto pretended that he heard nothing.
Saikai Haruto hung up the phone.
When Gin finally arrived, he saw that the safe house, which seemed to be in good condition, had been turned upside down. Not a single room was intact and the whole place was in a mess. Eavesdropping devices, locators, various guns, bullets, etc. had been turned out; even the three computers on the table were not spared. Two of the computers had black screens and a series of rapidly flashing white codes, and it seemed that they could no longer be put into direct use.
"Jin-chan? Is that you?"
The young man with long white hair stood upright, hesitated for two seconds, then gave him a gentle and clean smile, loosened the fingers that were holding the gun, and his golden eyes, which were sharp and difficult to read in the past, now seemed to reveal a bit of clear softness and innocence... Gin felt an unaccustomed chill.
He frowned subconsciously: "What are you doing?"
"Check the safety of the surrounding environment." Saikai Haruto said honestly, "Isn't this what I should do?"
Gin's brows were still furrowed: "When did you suddenly forget this time?"
"Jin-chan, you mean, isn't this the first time I've lost my memory?" Saikai Haruto's mind worked quickly, and he reacted quickly, and then replied: "Probably when I called you... five to ten minutes ago?"
It's a bit troublesome... This guy disappeared completely after throwing that little Shirley to him ten days ago. No one knows where he went or what he did. Now he's back but he's lost his memory again...
He's really a trouble-maker.
With the tip of his tongue on the roof of his mouth, Gin couldn't help but let out a "tsk" sound, with a hint of annoyance between his brows, but his voice was still calm: "Do you still remember what you do?"
Fortunately, this guy's "amnesia" is not the first or second time. According to past experience, it will take at least a few hours, at most three to five days, or at least less than a week for this guy to recover his memory. After years of partnership, Gin knows the situation of Cointreau as well as the boss, no, he knows more about it than the boss. So now, he just needs to keep an eye on this guy during this period of time and prevent him from causing any trouble again...
As Gin was thinking this, he heard the guy's calm voice explode into his ears like thunder: "Well, I think we might be public security police or something like that?"
ha.
Public security, police, and police.
...What kind of crappy script is this time?
Gin's face finally turned dark.
Xi Haiqingdou looked righteous, but in fact he was laughing so hard that he almost rolled over.
In fact, "Yu Yuan Qian Qiu" certainly did not lose his memory...but who asked him to make up this "experimental sequelae" for Cointreau?
Because of the experiments she had undergone many years ago, the sequelae that appeared on "Yu Yuan Chiaki" was "amnesia" that was different from everyone else... or "memory confusion".
Every once in a while, he would suddenly lose his memory and forget who he was... and by the way, he would also forget the identities of everyone else. At the same time, he would randomly give himself and other people around him all kinds of strange identities in his subconscious.
Although this sequelae does not seem to be serious and does not seem to cause other damage to the body or brain, for the boss of the organization, memory problems must be extremely serious. Even if it is only a few hours, it is unbearable, let alone a few days.
——What if he accidentally lost his memory, or his memory was wrong and he accidentally sent himself to prison, or accidentally "sold" himself? This is really too dangerous.
It's not impossible.
You know, the last time Cointreau had "amnesia", he almost fooled the entire organization into thinking he was a CIA "spy" planted in Japan, and he even almost tricked out a CIA undercover; he even almost thought that gin and rum were "CIA traitors."
Moreover, among Cointreau’s contacts, there is Gin, a former partner who is noted as “the easiest to deceive” but is actually the most trusted. But can such a person really exist in the boss’ heart?
Xi Haiqing Dou thinks the possibility is not very high.
To sum up, this kind of "sequelae" can be said to be the most appropriate.
This new script...I hope Gin likes it.
