Chapter 52 Three Shotas

At five in the morning, there were already many neatly dressed people jogging and exercising on the streets, so when Scotland came downstairs in his sportswear, he blended in so naturally, and did not look out of place at all even though he did not show any expression.

The black-haired young man with a white towel on his shoulders seemed to be accustomed to this kind of daily routine. He trotted towards the small park near the apartment building with a clear goal in mind, with two Bluetooth headphones in his ears and his steps light and calm.

When his back disappeared around the corner of the street, a round little head suddenly popped out from the alley opposite the apartment building. After looking around for three seconds, it quickly shrank back into the shadow of the alley.

Replacing the head was a small hand completely wrapped in a long sleeve. The owner of the hand seemed to be trying to feel for something on the wall at the alley entrance. However, after feeling the air for a while, he had to withdraw his hand in disappointment.

Only when you stand facing the alley entrance can you see a little boy with fluffy black hair squatting on the ground and sighing in disappointment. While sighing, he still tries to roll up his sleeves that are too long.

He fiddled with himself for a while, but in the end he had to stand there staring at his cuffs that were tied into a knot. He fell into deep silence, his face full of shock and disbelief.

But his eyes were wet, and the corners of his eyes, which were originally upturned, drooped listlessly, making him look like a stray cat that was suddenly drenched by the rain.

This little boy is the most important identity of Akae Nazuki in this mission world—the undocumented Subject A who had long been dead.

Not long ago, Chijiang Nayue and [Shu] were stranded on the third day four years before the mission time point. The latter finally gathered enough energy for precise positioning, and the former also successfully completed all the preparations by deploying different bodies everywhere.

So not surprisingly, they immediately arrived at the right time point - three years before Conan appeared.

Akae Nazuki knew very well how different this role-playing mission was from the last one. The most basic thing was that last time he only had to deceive Amuro Toru, but this time he had to deceive everyone he came into contact with afterwards.

This is so much fun!

The current time and location of the launch were exactly what Chi Jiang Na Yue had designated. The apartment building in front was the safe house where Scotland, Bourbon and Lei temporarily lived together during their cooperative mission.

The wine he chose was not Bourbon, but Scotland.

[Of these three people, Ley is automatically excluded. Bourbon and Scotland are both OK, but they were always tied to Mr. Amuro in the last world, so I want to change them.] Facing the doubts of [Book] before coming, the Savior said frankly, and gave the above explanation, [and the only person who can perfectly match this script is Scotland.]

As for appearing in this place in this outfit, it was to make it more reasonable for Scotch to pick him up. After all, as an undercover agent, Scotch Whisky would not just pick up children from the safe house where members of the organization were. But if he didn't follow them closely, the effect of Chijiang's script would be greatly reduced.

If the mountain does not come to him, he will come to the mountain.

…

Under the eyes of the secret observer, the little boy who had been squatting suddenly stood up, and it seemed that he was going to give up trying to save himself from the tangled sleeves. He held the balled-up hem of his coat with difficulty and walked out of the alley carefully.

Only when he walked out of the alley could the observer see his full appearance.

The boy's hair was disheveled, with shiny water stains sticking to his face - but judging from his pale face that didn't look like he'd just exercised, it probably wasn't sweat - his face had no expression, but his demeanor and body language revealed, in contrast, his curiosity about his surroundings.

The clothes with sleeves long enough to be tied up by him turned out to be a white coat with dark red stains flying around. A closer look revealed that after the boy lifted up the hem that was hindering his movements, he revealed two bare calves and bare feet, with the same pale skin, as if they had never seen the sun.

No matter how you look at it, it's a terrible outfit.

After the boy came out, he walked towards the apartment building where Scotland had come down from before with a clear goal. However, as soon as his hand touched the wall at the bottom of the apartment building, a hesitant expression appeared on his face.

The observer was still wondering, but the next second he found that the boy was no longer standing at the place he was looking at. He lowered his head and immediately met the eyes of the boy who appeared in front of him without knowing when.

The other person even tilted his head, making a cute but inexplicably creepy gesture.

The observer Scotland instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

He had gone out normally in the morning to do morning exercises, but when he was leaving the apartment building, he found that a pair of eyes were fixed on him. The owner of the eyes had no intention of disguising and could be said to be looking at him openly.

Scotland immediately suspected that he was being targeted by the organization, but he quickly dismissed the idea: the organization's observers would not expose themselves so obviously.

Who could that be?

He simply pretended that he hadn't noticed anything, and after leaving the intersection, he confirmed again and again that the line of sight disappeared at that time, which proved that the observer had not moved with him and was most likely still near the apartment building.

Scotland then went back to the apartment hall from the back door, hid in a hidden corner, and quickly locked onto the direction of his previous sight through the window. He found the boy who was squatting in the shadows at the alley entrance and was therefore ignored by him.

But he didn't expect that this strange boy not only discovered that he was also observing, but also found him in front of him with an action that he was not prepared to react to.

"Good morning, Mr. Scotch." The boy raised his head and looked at the vigilant Scotland politely before speaking.

Scotland had half squatted down hesitantly, but when he heard the boy's name, he stopped and his eyes became fierce again.

The boy didn't seem to be scared at all, and even showed deeper curiosity in his eyes.

After saying that, he looked at Scotland with his round, bright red eyes without blinking and asked bluntly, "Can you be my new master?"

From Chijiang Nayue's perspective, he saw that the man with black hair, blue eyes and stubble on his chin seemed to be a little dazed by these words. He subconsciously showed a look of surprise and stood there for several seconds. Then, even Scotland's eyes when he looked at him became complicated.

Hooked.

The savior who was skilled in scamming people exclaimed in his heart.

An ordinary five-year-old child passing by would not be taken back by Scotland, but a child who was an "experimental subject" with strange words and deeds, who not only knew Scotland's code name but was also suspected of having an unknown relationship with the organization, Scotland would not let go of this opportunity, whether from the perspective of an organization member or a public security standpoint.

Chi Jiang Na Yue was sure that Scotland would most likely suspect that the child (A) who suddenly appeared was sent by the organization to test him.

As an elite player who also has acting skills in his skill list, it is too easy for him to play such a character. He also knew that Scotland had never left. After all, this was part of his script. Even if he really left, the series of "performances" he had started from the moment he appeared in the alley would not be in vain.

He deliberately chose this alley facing the surveillance camera to launch the project.

As expected, after quickly organizing his thoughts, Scotland maintained a half-squatting position, keeping their eyes level with each other, and asked him with an expression that was flawless, "You know me?"

"Yes." Chijiang Nayue nodded seriously, her fluffy black hair swaying with her movements, "I have seen you."

But he didn't say where he had seen her. He thought about it, and finally took a strong approach, choosing an angle that would make him look innocent, pure, and pitiful as he looked at Scotland: "I don't want my current master anymore, so you won't accept me?"

"My experiment number is A. My favorite food is spicy curry. My disliked colors are white and green. I eat very little and have a long battery life. After sleeping for three hours and twenty minutes, I can be used continuously for three days." The boy recommended himself seriously, "I can do a lot of things. You can use me as you like."

Scotland was scolded so much that he started coughing, and he was completely sure of one thing: regardless of whether he was an experimental subject of the organization, this child's art of speaking really made people worry about what kind of environment he lived in!

He tightened his clenched hands at his side, and finally laid them down in surrender in front of the boy's eyes.

"If I don't agree, you'll find the next ma, ahem, master, right?"

In fact, whether it was her character or her own will, Chi Jiang Na Yue had never planned to look for someone else from the beginning. She did not feel guilty about this question at all and nodded at Scotland.

Scotland fell into thought.

Logically, it was not a good idea to let this child who seemed to know so much leave; emotionally, he also wanted to find out the secrets revealed by the child.

"Then come with me first." After finding a good excuse for himself, Scotland felt relieved. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We can talk about everything else later. First, I have to go change your clothes."

He doesn't want others to look at him as a pervert.

Given the attire, there was no way Scotland would take the child out on the street, but the safe house where the three old men lived was unlikely to have children's clothing of this size, so naturally, after careful consideration, Scotland sent the child back to the safe house upstairs.

Scotland took out a pair of new slippers for the child to wear, then led him, without looking away, past the coffee table piled with Ley's gun maintenance tools that had not yet been put away, and into his bedroom.

"I'll be back soon, wait for me here." After giving instructions, Scotland still felt uneasy. "If you hear someone coming back outside, and it's not me, don't make a sound. Just stay here and wait for me to come back."

The three Scottish men had a mission tonight, so Bourbon and Ley went to Bodo to scout the area last night, which is why they are not in the safe house now.

Scotland was not worried about what Bourbon would do after seeing the child. After all, they were all public security officers. He also knew that his own son had always been nice to children. What he was worried about was Ley, the member of the organization who looked so much like Gin.

"Okay." Chijiang Nayue answered obediently.

Because he was still worried, Scotland finally locked the bedroom door from the outside before leaving.

Five minutes after he left the safe house, the bedroom door opened from the inside with a click, and the boy, whose sleeves had been untied by Scotland, jumped out with light steps.

He looked as if he had completely forgotten what he had promised five minutes ago.
