Chapter 81 The First Player

It was not until he saw Asahina successfully "breathe her last" that Saikai Haruto finally relaxed.

[Beep——Capturing alien souls. 】

【The space-time channel has been opened. 】

[The alien soul ■■■■ has been repatriated. Thanks to the system host "Xi Hai Qing Dou" for his cooperation. 】

【The space-time channel has been closed. 】

Xi Hai Qing Dou listened to the continuous mechanical sounds coming from his mind, and suddenly felt a little lost.

【Finally, he was sent back. 】

"I remember when I first returned to Japan, I heard someone say that you were the second Gin... but no matter how you look at it, you are totally different."

Xi Hai Qing Dou looked at the player's "corpse" and said calmly, with a barely noticeable sneer in his voice.

He had wanted to complain for a long time - no matter in terms of character, ability, or means, how dare the players touch Gin?

Now that he has sent all the players home, he must spit out this slur!

He walked to the player's "corpse" and picked up his phone. He leaned against the wall and casually opened his phone to read a few messages - sure enough, there were calls not only with the Metropolitan Police Department, but also with Furuya Rei.

The most recent one is the news that Rei Furuya said he is about to arrive.

"What an unqualified undercover agent."

He said "tsk" indifferently, stopped looking at other content, turned off the screen of his mobile phone, threw it off the roof, let the initial velocity and gravity take it to wherever it wanted, and began to lean against the wall in a daze.

When Furiya Rei finally rushed all the way to the rooftop, this was the scene he saw.

The sun in the sky was so bright that it was blinding, and the pool of blood on the rooftop was so red that it was blinding.

The white-haired young man with a pale face and a tired and indifferent expression was leaning against the wall with a gun in his hand. His long hair, which was originally tied into a high ponytail, had fallen down again at some point and was hanging on his shoulders in a somewhat messy manner.

His classmate in the police academy and undercover friend lay in a pool of blood behind him, and it was unknown whether he was alive or dead.

Clearly, less than ten minutes ago, he was texting him to tell him not to come over, and to comfort him that he was safe and nothing would happen...

Furiya Rei suddenly felt a chill and dizziness coming from all over his body.

"Canada!"

"Bourbon...it's you."

He staggered uncontrollably and ran to Asahina's side, half-knelt on the ground, wanting to check on him. However, he saw the white-haired young man who had been leaning against the wall with his eyelids drooping, looking up at him at some point, showing him a casual smile, and said lightly and vaguely: "Although you are a little late, don't worry, I have already taken care of the undercover."

——Asahina was already dead. He was a step too late.

Saikai Haruto looked at Furuya Rei.

The blond-haired, dark-skinned young man, who was always calm and composed without showing any flaws, now looked like a wolf.

His blond hair was messy and stuck to his sweaty forehead. It was not known whether it was because he ran too fast or for some other reason, but his face turned pale, his gray-blue pupils were slightly dilated, and his chest was rising and falling violently.

He seemed to have suffered some injuries, and his clothes were stained with a lot of dust and some messy blood stains that came from nowhere, and they were not even completely dry yet.

"Cointreau! You—"

Furiya Rei suddenly turned his head back and was forced to stop talking after only beginning what he wanted to say. His chest rose and fell violently - he couldn't continue talking. If he continued, he would not be able to help but curse or even fight with Cointreau.

Asahina was already dead, he couldn't let his identity be exposed.

"Bourbon, are you too tired after running all the way here? It's over now, so why not take a break now?"

Xi Haiqingdou said nonsense casually, pretending that he was not angry at all. He tightly grasped the Beretta in his hand, half-straightened up and left the wall behind him, and said in a nonchalant tone: "It's a pity that his phone accidentally fell during the fight just now... It's such a high distance, although I don't know where it fell, but even if I find it, it will be broken and I can't check the content inside. It's really disappointing."

Furiya Zero stared at him without saying a word.

Saikai Haruto took a step forward and stood in front of him, then bent down slightly and looked him straight in the eye. The smile on his face was gentle and sincere. He reminded him calmly: "Bourbon, I know that you and Canada have always had a good relationship in the organization. I guess you didn't expect that he was actually an undercover from the Japanese Metropolitan Police Department? Remember the lesson this time - this is called, you can know a person's face but not his heart."

"You'd better remember that people like us don't have real friends. Many invisible dangers come from our own side. Next time, don't give your heart and trust to anyone casually. It's not worth it."

Cointreau's voice was gentle and clear, and he spoke slowly. His tone was not as sarcastic as before, but more like a gentle and kind advice to him, which seemed very sincere. What's more, perhaps because his thoughts were too complicated, at a certain moment, Furutani Rei actually saw a hint of gentle sadness in Cointreau's golden eyes, which were always cold and ruthless.

Rei Furuya suspected that he was dazzled and had an illusion.

This is really too ridiculous.

From what standpoint did he say these things?

Furiya Ling clenched his fist on the side of his thigh, and the blue veins on the back of his hand were hidden in the shadows, and the anger in his heart was burning fiercely. He clenched his teeth tightly and almost jumped out of the gap between his teeth: "I know."

"Well, I'll go first. Gin is probably still waiting there."

Xi Haiqingdou nodded at him, straightened up, turned around and left the rooftop. The hem of his wide black coat drew a beautiful arc in the air.

[He looks really wolfish, like a stray cat. ]

While going downstairs, Saikai Haruto was talking to the system in his mind.

Moreover, this cat looks particularly fierce and capable of fighting because it has been wandering outside.

[He must be really mad at me now... If I don't leave now, I'm afraid he'll get so angry that he'll lose his mind and kill me on the rooftop.]

[Host, please do not slander.] The system said: [He did not hold a gun just now, nor did he make any moves to attack. And in the original work, Furuya Rei did not kill Akai Shuichi.]

[Metaphors and exaggerations are appropriate rhetoric for humans. How come you don't understand, system?] Saikai Haruto sighed, [And Akai Shuichi has never said anything like what I just said.]

Xi Haiqing Dou still has self-awareness - as for what he just said to Furuya Rei, although he did have good intentions, Furuya Rei would definitely not think so. He didn't know that the player also had a hidden identity of "organization undercover", and his words probably sounded no different from ridicule to Furuya Rei.

Or the kind with the full effect.

It turns out that telling the truth is the most heartwarming.

Xi Haiqingdou had no doubt that just now, for a moment, Furuya Ling definitely thought about killing him right there.

...In short, whether for the sake of Rei Furuya or for his own good, he felt it would be better for him to leave early.

The system still didn't quite understand. But that didn't stop it from asking a new question: [Host, why didn't you explain your identity to him just now? ]

[What identity? An undercover?] Xi Haiqing Dou sneered, [Other things are fine, but what's there to say about the identity of a disconnected undercover? The Soviet Union has been gone for a few years, and even if I tell him, he has to believe it. But look at Furuya Rei's look, is he the kind of person who would nod and believe me if I say that Kundu is an undercover?]

[This doesn't fit the character of "Cointreau", and as an undercover agent, it would be cheap and ordinary if I told people about it. Even if it appeared in a comic, it wouldn't be any good. That's enough for this time, there will be other opportunities in the future.]

Instead of saying it yourself, it’s better to let others guess it.

Saying too much at once is just superfluous. He has now learned not to do such superfluous things. The appropriate mystery teller... no, the appropriate blank space will be more appropriate.

Xi Haiqing Dou evaluated himself and thought that he could probably give himself a score of 9 out of 10 for today's performance.

The remaining point is deducted for the forum and the comics - I don’t know how he will be drawn in the comics.

Furutani Rei ran over and chased him and the players all the way. Although he was missing at Chuncheon Park, there wasn't any big chaos - at least the explosion on the other side went off on time.

Gin did his finishing work very smoothly. Although the guards around Mizubayashi Kenichi doubled and there were several "stand-ins" with similar figures around him, Mizubayashi Kenichi himself revealed his flaws, and Gin's bullet still accurately penetrated his head when he left.

When Haruto Saikai drove back and called him, Gin and Vodka were already in a new safe house on the other side.

"Already back? Then I'll drive your car over there as well. Do you have anything to eat there?"

“Only compressed biscuits and instant noodles.”

Gin's low, cold voice came over the phone: "Have you resolved everything over there? Apart from Canada, what about Bourbon?"

"Everything is normal, but Bourbon may be a little psychologically traumatized... I don't know how many questions Canada has asked him before."

Xi Haiqingdou said in a natural tone, "It's a pity that his phone was thrown off the roof and couldn't be found. Who knows how many secrets of the organization are in it... It's a pity that he died too soon."

"Is there really nothing wrong?" Gin's tone became more serious. There was something "not right" about Saikai Haruto's voice, and he was not in a good mood. He could tell.

...Sometimes this is the downside of knowing each other too well. When you know too much about each other, it's too easy to notice something wrong with the other person.

Saikai Haruto blinked and put on a different expression.

"Ah, yes. My dear partner, prepare something to eat for me, right now. Otherwise I shall die of hunger."

He sighed listlessly, "I haven't eaten a single bite of food since this morning - by the way, no instant noodles or compressed biscuits."

"But there's nothing wrong with you, isn't there?"

"Of course. After delivering so much information, we still failed to save the life of our target."

Gin really didn't think much about it. He just thought that he was hungry. There were precedents like this - after completing the task, he looked unhappy and depressed, making Gin think that he had failed in the task. But it turned out that he was just playing a prank.

He snorted and chuckled, seeming to be in a good mood: "No matter how annoying a fly is, it's just a fly."

Gin easily dispelled his doubts. This time, he also easily got over it, just like before.

"The mission has been successfully completed." Xi Haiqingdou sighed, "Now I can finally take a break again."

It was another ten minutes later when he drove the car back to the safe house.

Gin didn't throw instant noodles and compressed cookies to him, but was cleaning his gun; Vodka handed him a pile of high-calorie chocolate.

"My eldest brother just asked me to go out and buy these, Cointreau. Is this enough?" Vodka said sincerely without taking any credit.

Gin glanced at him and said nothing.

"It's OK." Xi Hai Qing Dou smacked his lips, "It barely fills my stomach."

He knew it—he shouldn't have expected either of them to cook.

Gin frowned: "Why hasn't Bourbon come back yet?"

"I guess they are cleaning up the Canadian bodies and cleaning up the mess."

Saikai Haruto said, "Wait for him, wait for him to come out by himself."
