Chapter 10 Ten Ghosts Behind the Scenes

On a high wall piled with miscellaneous items, a thin figure sat alone at the top - it was Toru Amuro, who had escaped from Broadway and hid in Chinatown.

Only Toru Amuro himself could see that next to him was a boy swinging his legs childishly, and that their appearance here was suggested by this boy without any context.

"The forces behind this kind of Chinatown have always been strong and independent, and extremely xenophobic. No outside organization can gain any advantage here, so it is considered a neutral zone."

On the high wall, the boy who had hung himself next to them finally gave a reason in a light tone after they calmed down temporarily: "For you who are attacked from all sides, this is currently the safest and easiest place to fish in troubled waters and successfully escape."

"If the FBI wants to come in to search, they shouldn't be blocked too much." Amuro Toru was no fool. With his sensitivity to intelligence, he understood immediately and understood what Akae Nayue had left unfinished. He raised his eyebrows and asked back, "So, it's not just the FBI that's hunting me down now?"

"In my memory of Belmode, there is a lot of relevant information."

In response to this question, Chi Jiang Na Yue nodded casually, the hem of his scarf fluttering in the air. He said half-seriously, "Although the organization's influence is spread all over the world, it is still not enough in most places where there is local influence, such as Manhattan where you are standing now."

While speaking, Akae Nazuki was secretly paying attention to Amuro Toru's expression. He paused for a moment and pretended that he had just finished his memories.

In fact, what he just told Toru Amuro came from his personal experience in the main world. However, for this unknown parallel world, the partial information he knew could only be used as a reference, and he could not be sure whether it was the same here.

Chijiang Nayue touched his chin and pondered for a while: But judging by the current situation, it should be almost certain.

His personal abilities are indeed beyond the norm, but the one who is currently trapped is Toru Amuro, so he has to be more cautious.

After all, Toru Amuro couldn't be as alive and kicking as he was. If he died accidentally, he could only read the file and bring him back... No! That would tarnish his record of 100% successful operations!

The savior, who was obsessed with certain aspects, raised a strange arc at the corner of his mouth.

It seems that the only variable that is a bit troublesome and has not been included in his plan is the local organization that he mentioned is also chasing Amuro Toru.

"Welcome to the 'hospitable' United States, detective." From the perspective of the unaware Amuro, the black-haired boy still looked up at him with a smile, and even put emphasis on some of the words.

Toru Amuro silently deepened his evaluation of the vengeance in his mind based on the "Akae Nazuki behavior chart".

Chi Jiang Na Yue said bluntly: "As a lone member of the organization, and also Rum's right-hand man and the ace of the intelligence team, you are a defenseless and popular commodity in their eyes."

...Well, even though Toru Amuro had thought of this and his expression was a bit distorted, it seems that he doesn't want to be such a popular person at all.

Not long ago, when they just came out of Broadway, they had originally planned to find a way to leave New York first, and then find a way to contact the branch base. Under the premise that no one knew whether the branch base was surrounded by the FBI, neither Toru Amuro nor Nazuki Akae had any interest in delivering the goods to the door.

But the fact is, they can't even leave Manhattan now.

If it weren't for Amuro Toru's intelligence instinct that saved him, after he discovered that there were more and more suspicious and dangerous elements on the street, and they were obviously looking for someone, he would not have had time to follow Akae Nazuki, the human guide, to escape into Chinatown.

“This is truly an unprovoked disaster.”

Amuro Toru pressed his forehead and slowly let out a breath. When he looked up again, his expression had returned to normal and he analyzed clearly.

"The FBI will not sit idly by and do nothing about another force. If they don't have any trace of me, conflict is inevitable. So the best time for me to leave is when the FBI and another force are at each other's throats."

"The premise is that there is no stronger backing behind that force." The intelligence officer paused for a few seconds, then asked in a familiar and distressing tone, "No, right?"

How long the neutral zone of Chinatown can protect him from the two forces depends on whether those who want to capture him are determined to complete this mission.

"As far as I know, no." Chi Jiang Na Yue spread her hands and looked over innocently, "But you have to know that my memory is basically the situation eight years ago. Whether it will change now, I can't predict it before I officially meet them."

"I'm just good at reasoning, not a search engine." The boy complained.

Amuro refused to comment on how humble that "just" was.

The main reason was that Chi Jiang Na Yue's performance along the way was too stunning and vivid, not like a ghost, which made him subconsciously forget that she had actually been dead for eight years and was really only eighteen years old.

Even though he knew that this spirit behind the scenes, who seemed to have a different stance from his own, was known as "Kaluya" in the organization, he still couldn't really be on guard.

It can only be said that one part of the reason was that Toru Amuro realized that there was a big gap in strength between the two of them, and the other part...if Akae Nazuki really wanted to harm him, with his talent and ability, there was no need for him to tell him those shocking information, let alone help him escape.

He always had a lot of distrust towards this unscientific creature who suddenly appeared and whose identity was still unknown. However, the object of his distrust was only the other party's identity. As for the ability of Akae Nayue, it was obvious that Toru Amuro had been completely convinced along the way.

"This is really an overly thrilling journey." The public security elite closed his eyes, feeling a slight headache, "I should have thought of it earlier. Things related to Akai Shuichi are not that simple."

Akae Nazuki pretended that she didn't hear that Akai Shuichi was taking the blame again, and simply changed her posture and disappeared from the spot. When she reappeared, she was hanging upside down, dangling in front of Amuro Toru.

The young man who was able to do this effortlessly suggested: "I have a new plan..."

Amuro Toru felt like there was a danger-sensing antenna above his head, which should have stood up immediately at this moment.

He was silent for a moment, then said solemnly, "I reject the suggestion that we should infiltrate another force and destroy them from within, so that they will lose the desire to capture me."

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Toru Amuro saw deep disappointment on Akae Nayue's face.

"You actually want me to do that."

He closed his eyes again, feeling himself rising above the little devil's whims.

If you don't want to be caught, just destroy that organization - only at this time will Toru Amuro think, "I am worthy of being a code member of the organization."

"If it doesn't work, just change it." Chi Jiang Na Yue, who was actually just teasing his friend, laughed even more happily. After recovering from the upside-down position, he shrugged indifferently and said, "Anyway, no matter what, you'd better leave here quickly and change your clothes."

The boy pointed at his red jacket and said meaningfully: "After that person takes over this operation, it will become more troublesome to get rid of them."

Toru Amuro followed his instructions seriously, leaned over the wall, and landed lightly and silently on the ground without even raising much dust.

"Let's go." As Amuro Toru said this, he quickly changed his expression back to the numb state it should be in, and his back was retracted again.

"Go make a scene?"

The black-haired boy beside him, who was invisible to everyone, rose and fell slightly in the air with the frequency of his breathing. After hearing this, he put his hands behind his back, tilted his head and asked slyly.

The 'homeless man' who had already walked into the street twitched his lips slightly, and rejected the young man's suggestion of taking advantage of the excitement with a disapproving look.

"No." Amuro sighed, then whispered, "Let's go home."

He just picked a word that fits their current situation, but he didn't expect that the boy next to him would stop in his tracks after hearing it. The expression he had kept on his face all the way was suddenly gone, and there was a blank look on his still young face.

"Go home?" The boy stared into Amuro Toru's eyes with his watery red eyes, and repeated, "We?"

Before he could say anything else, the boy immediately returned to normal, as if it was just an illusion, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go home."

"Come to think of it, I haven't been to the amusement park yet. How about going there once later? Just consider it as a reward for my help this time." Akajinazuki calmly changed the subject, facing Amuro Toru, and walked backwards in the middle of the road. "I also provided a lot of information for free. You won't default on me, right?"

Watching the spirit behind him pass through several passers-by, Amuro Tou didn't have time to think about the other party's previous abnormality and his attention was successfully diverted.

Although he still felt a little strange, he readily agreed: "Of course you can go. I remember that there is a new marine amusement park in Yokohama, or you can choose another place you want to go."

"I should actually thank you formally." Amuro Toru said frankly.

"That's great!" Chi Jiang Na Yue clapped his hands happily. The next second, his eyes suddenly turned sharp and cold. "Wait, don't look back."

He stopped Amuro Toru's conscious action, and smiled coldly on his youthful face: "I didn't expect their self-control to be worse than I expected... Now there's a rat following you."

Toru Amuro's eyes also cooled down, hiding his genuine smile, and at this moment he finally looked like a Bourbon.

"Then let's 'get rid of' them."
