Chapter 295 Forty Villains

The five of them were very happy when they realized that Chi Jiang Na Yue did not end up in the worst possible way as they had worried.

After going through so many things and encountering the "adventure" of the time loop, they actually didn't particularly care about each other's real camps, nor did they really care what kind of person Chijiang Nayue was in the past.

After all, the person who knew them was always Akae Nazuki as their friend, not Kaluya as a member of the organization.

What they care about is whether Chijiang Nayue is doing things that are "in line with their wishes".

Just like because they understand their friends, they know that the colleague who seems to not care about anything is the one who values ​​this friendship the most. So after recovering their memories and confessing to each other, no one is surprised that Chijiang Nayue would risk her life to save them by going back in time due to death.

From the perspective of friends, they don't want to and will not interfere with their friends' decisions, but it's also because they understand Akae Nazuki - even Ida Kou and others who didn't remember that they were close friends at the same time in the previous timelines, never really believed the words of that little bastard claiming to be a criminal, and never suspected that he was the one who killed people.

Now that their memories of the past have been restored, it is even less likely that they would believe that such behavior of controlling the Black Organization and expanding it bigger and bigger was something that Chijiang Nayue would do out of her own will.

Precisely because immersing oneself in all kinds of filth was not something that Chi Jiang Na Yue did for himself, they were unable to accept it calmly, and therefore tried to stop it, and tried to push the other party to a place where the sun shines.

In short, Morobushi Kagemitsu learned from Curacao and confirmed again and again that the Vesbania ore had been destroyed by Kalua and had not fallen into the hands of the organization. After recovering his memory, Furuya Rei told them the secret that the organization boss had always regarded Kalua as his backup body. In addition, everything started because Karasuma Renya wanted to forcibly take away the right to use that body...

There is no need to guess. There is no way that vengeful little devil is truly working for the organization. He probably has other purposes for doing those things.

So what is the other purpose?

Zhu Fu Jingguang spent a long time asking questions from both the Public Security Bureau and Curacao, and finally discovered something.

The undercover senior who he had suspected of passing intelligence to the police turned out to be Na Yue!

No, no matter how you think about it, it's impossible that he is really passing intelligence to the police, but is he using the power of the police to do things that he can't do in the organization?

Morofu Jingguang, who saw through everything, helped his friend to keep the matter secret.

Forget it. Actually, it’s a good thing that the police think Na Yue is an undercover agent. This way, Na Yue can have the choice to return to the light.

There are still many doubts. For example, if Chijiang Nayue did not really submit to the boss, why would he work so hard to make the organization climb higher? Even if he was involved in internal manipulation, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse.

But Hagiwara Kenji, who was the first to recover his memory, pondered for a few seconds and came up with a guess that was beyond the comprehension of others.

"What if Xiao Nayue herself is now the boss of the organization?"

He wasn't talking nonsense. "Natsuki-chan likes to control all unstable factors. Since he has memories and wants to protect us, it's impossible for him to let us and the organization's people when we didn't know anything. You said that Gin was dangerous? If he didn't have perfect preparations, he would never let us meet Gin several times, and then really intervene in the organization's affairs in Hakata."

So the answer seems simple.

This time, Hagiwara Kenji's tone became firm: "I don't know how they did it, but I think that even if she is not the boss of the organization, Konazuki must have controlled the boss of the organization."

Matsuda Jinpei's eyes were blank: "An undercover agent became the boss?"

"So he's not an undercover agent..." Furuya Rei complained, "If that's the case, I can be more certain of my guess. Aka is probably waiting for us in the top floor office of Karasuma Group."

That was also where he killed his friend at that time.

Ida Ko expressed their final conclusion: "So this time, he chose to stay in the organization and control the organization, then develop the organization's power to an even more terrifying level, and promote the organization to a high position, and then..."

If anyone else were in power, they would worry that the other person would be corrupted by power and become the next Karasuma Renya, but.

"Then throw the organization to the ground."

Morofushi Jingguang took a deep breath and added, "Just like now, the second-in-command of the organization was already lured into the trap by him, and became a discarded pawn after he was used. Gin... I'm afraid he has also already made a backup plan."

Chi Jiang Na Yue was right. His five friends were indeed not alert to his terrifying ability to control people's hearts at this time. They just felt extremely lucky when they came to this conclusion. They were lucky that he didn't fall and that they still had a chance to catch him. The only thing that seemed a little strange was probably the two public security police who were undercover in every timeline. The organization that once weighed on them like a mountain was about to be disintegrated from the inside so quickly. Even the highest mountain was about to collapse.

It's incredible, and it really makes people look forward to it.

——This feeling vanished after hearing what Akae Nayue said.

"How can you be an uncertain factor, Natsuki-chan?" Hagiwara Kenji frowned, his eyes filled with sadness. "You've done enough for us. Occasionally, shouldn't you let us do something for you?"

"Well? Actually, there aren't many. I just did what you would do if you were in my position." The man sitting on the chair said calmly, "And please spare me. The best thing you can do for me is to live peacefully."

As he spoke, he sighed with genuine emotion and stood up from his chair, but he still did not walk up to them. Instead, he stood behind the desk.

"It's okay, let's start from the beginning." Akae narrowed his eyes. At this moment, he was closer to the crazy Kaluuya in Matsuda Jinpei's timeline. "Of course, there's no need to tell you how I ended up gameover in the beginning. I guess Furuya-kun has already told you."

"After I died in the first timeline, I immediately found myself back in the police academy. Nothing had happened, and Sharon was still alive." He said with satisfaction, "I'm really happy to see her alive again... Oh, sorry, I'm not complaining that you didn't kill me then. Please let me go, Furuya-kun."

"After that, I saved Sharon, but the person who died inexplicably became you." Akae Nazuki raised his chin to Furutani Ling and said, "You should also remember that at the same time point on the original timeline, your identities were clearly not exposed. This was a special 'coincidence' accident."

"When I first returned to the police academy, I knew that this was an opportunity given to me by that unknown force. Although I was not sure at that time what the price of turning back time would be, I didn't care. After all, in my opinion, as long as I could save you and change the past that I knew, there was nothing else I wanted to do."

He pinched his earlobe unconsciously: "But I failed that time... When I went back the second time, I finally understood the so-called price, but - you already knew it, I really don't care."

The black-haired, red-eyed boss was wearing a newly-changed black windbreaker. He had obviously taken good care of himself. His quickly dried hair was still a little damp and stuck to his forehead.

He didn't care about it and just leaned against the table casually.

"Death is not the end of everything for me," he said softly, "living is."

“I thought that was over.”

Chijiang Nayue lowered her eyelids and said it again, as if speaking to someone: "I thought I could save everyone that time."

But they all knew he didn't.

"How interesting," said Akajyo Nayue, "No matter how I prepare, or who I save with the time loop, someone always dies when they shouldn't, once, twice, three times until finally, I finally accepted it."

He stood up, no longer leaning against the desk, but leaning back against the French window, curling his lips at them, smiling as if he was mocking himself: "I can't save everyone, someone always needs to die, nothing in this world can be truly perfect... I should have known this from the beginning, but I just couldn't accept it."

Of course he knew that he couldn't save everyone, but he refused to believe it, so he would rather get his head broken and bleed than not try again and again.

"Then I understood." Chi Jiang Na Yue tilted his neck back and tapped the back of his head against the glass window twice. This action seemed to make him calmer. He looked at the ceiling and murmured, "If someone has to die, then why can't it be me?"

…

"No." Matsuda Jinpei looked like he was possessed by a demon, and his voice was squeezed out from between his teeth. "What are you talking about, wanting to protect this beautiful future where everyone is alive? How can it be considered beautiful if you die? I will never recognize such a future!"

He took a step forward.

"We haven't taken graduation photos yet." Furuya Rei stared at the familiar yet strange eyes and repeated, imitating the other person's previous words, "Didn't you say that? We haven't taken graduation photos yet. The graduation ceremony will be next week. At least this time, I don't want to miss it again."

Indeed, even in the timeline where they became friends, Kaluuya did not attend the graduation ceremony on the day due to a mission with the organization and was absent from the graduation photo.

Ida Kou, who is not good at expressing his inner feelings directly but is essentially a man, also frowned and said solemnly: "At that time, you didn't have time to attend Xiaona and my engagement ceremony. I promised to invite you."

He seemed a little embarrassed when he said this, and rubbed the back of his head: "Ah, although Xiaona and I are not yet engaged at this time, I will definitely keep the best man position for you, that month."

"Don't just look at them, Natsuki-chan, what about me?" Hagiwara Kenji said pitifully, "You have to finish what you start. Since the first one, Kofuku, attacked you in the same way as I did, then the time we spent together and our status as friends should also be the same, right? Only you and I have spent the least time together. It's not fair at all!"

He smiled again as he spoke: "You have actually saved all of us a long time ago, and Xiao Zhenping is right, the future without you is not bright at all, Xiao Nayue."

Even under such scrutiny, they could not detect the slightest sign of movement on that face.

The thin figure was still leaning against the glass window, like a dying crow.

Chijiang Nayue seemed not to be moved by their words at all. He remained calm, still like a stagnant pool of water.

Then Dead Water spoke.

"I'm sorry." He said softly, "But I really feel so tired. Every breath I take in this world seems to be telling me that I have decayed from the inside out... Maintaining vital signs is like a job for me."

"A job that I can't wait to get off work for." He added with a frown but a calm tone.

A figure flashed past everyone's eyes, and it took them a blink of an eye to notice that it was Matsuda Jinpei who rushed over so fast that no one could react. He seemed to have endured it no longer and punched Akae Nayue hard and fiercely. The latter did not dodge and was hit with his head tilted, and marks quickly appeared on his pale cheek.

Matsuda Jinpei ignored this. He just grabbed Akae Nazuki by the collar and shouted at him loudly and angrily: "Didn't I tell you? If you need help, just say it directly! You have been keeping silent and showing such a smile that is uglier than crying. Who else but us will understand what you are thinking!"

"It will always be like this. What if? What if..."

The hand at the collar suddenly clenched, then loosened somewhat weakly, and fell to the side of the body and clenched into a fist.

"What if I see you die in front of me again?" Matsuda Jinpei put his forehead against Akae Nayue's forehead and said word by word, "Then I will definitely make sure you die unpeacefully. Don't worry, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost."

"...It's really a terrifying threat." Chijiang Nayue was strangely silent for a moment, and said dryly, "But it's a pity that it's a bit late. I'm really sorry, Zhenping, but I haven't repented for the bad things I did."

The bad things he has done naturally include tormenting his good colleagues!

Hearing the sudden apology, Matsuda Jinpei was stunned for a moment. The next second, he saw beautiful snowflake patterns appear on the glass window that Akae Nayue was leaning against, and then it shattered with a loud noise.

The strong wind from the sky poured into the office. Matsuda Jinpei subconsciously reached forward to grab something, but like trying to grab the moon in water, he only touched a piece of air, and the figure of the man fell and disappeared from his sight.

No, it didn't fall completely.

At that moment, no one reacted - except Morobushi Kagemitsu.

Most of his body was exposed and he was about to fall down due to the wind, but he still did not let go and held on to Chijiang Nayue's arm.

...Morobushi Kagemitsu's brain was actually in a blank state. Only one sentence kept echoing in his mind. He didn't come to his senses until the others hurriedly pulled them both back.

This time he caught up, Zhu Fu Jingguang thought, he had caught the moon this time.

"You'd better give up quickly..." With some boiling emotions, Zhu Fu Jingguang could not help but hold down Chi Jiang Na Yue's shoulders tightly with his extremely painful hands, his knuckles turned white from the force, and his eyes and tone were just as firm, "Because from now on, we will ensure that you will keep working overtime on this job of [staying alive]!"

The man whose shoulders were pinched seemed to have no reaction. He was stunned for a long while before making a few sounds.

“…Huh!??” Kaluuya was confused and at a loss, “Wait? Wait a minute? So why are you making me work overtime?!”
