Chapter 64 Fifteen Shotas
Bourbon was now extremely glad that he was still wearing his ski goggles, as no one could see his shocked and speechless expression.
The five adults present were more or less aware of the existence of Granti, but only Bourbon knew that Granti was not the name of a person, but the name of a group of people.
So, he was the first to realize that something was wrong.
Kenji Hagihara is not a person who is not good at thinking. He is also cautious and sharp. Therefore, Bourbon and Scotland had expected that he would find out that they were undercover. In this way, it is impossible for Kenji Hagihara to directly ask questions to A under such circumstances.
Unless, in Hagiwara Kenji's eyes, the "brother" relationship between Granty and A can be confirmed at a glance.
What kind of two people would be recognized as brothers at first sight?
Similarities in demeanor, clothing, or the way they do things? Just looking at these, and only being in contact with A for a few hours, is not enough for Kenji Hagihara to completely determine the relationship between the two.
Bourbon's eyes stayed on A's face for a long time, and the answer was already clear.
But he still wanted to ask again.
"So Mr. Hagiwara also knows Granti?" The intelligence officer smiled brightly, rubbing his chin with his fingers as if sighing, "If that's the case, it's really more of a coincidence than meeting by chance."
Kenji Hagiwara was still half-squatting there. From the moment he heard A call himself his brother, his expression became strange.
Hearing this, he raised his head and explained in an embarrassed tone: "Actually, Granty saved my life four years ago. We met once or twice, and I couldn't contact him after that."
He briefly talked about how Granty saved all of them from the bombing site four years ago. When he finished speaking, the others immediately noticed why Hagiwara Kenji's expression had become so strange.
Since Granty looked like a teenager four years ago, he must be in his twenties now. Even Hagiwara Kenji presumed that A was Granty's younger brother. But although A did not deny his brother relationship with Granty, he pointed out that he was the older brother.
Whiskey and the other two, who had been with A for some time, knew very well that A was not the kind of kid who would joke about such things, and the age difference between five and twenty was so great that there would not be any disagreement on the order of seniority.
Under this premise, A still said so, which means that he really thought so in his heart. The biggest possibility is that A is indeed older than Granty, and not the five-year-old child they thought based on his appearance. If this is the case, not to mention the personal experience of Bourbon and others who have been with A for a period of time, just looking at the reality...
As the older one, why did Granty teach A and help A escape, instead of the other way around?
At the same time, Bourbon confirmed his guess again. At the moment, what is more important to him is not to question the relationship between A and Granti.
——In that so-called research base, are all the Granthis very similar to A's "brothers", or is it only the one that Hagiwara Kenji has seen who is very similar to A?
The latter proves that this was just an accident, but the former has a different meaning.
Bourbon felt a chill in his heart: A's previous words revealed that there are definitely many people who can be called Granty. Then under what circumstances would there be so many people with similar appearances that can be mistaken for each other?
Like Scotland, after learning that A originally lived in the organization's research base, Bourbon also secretly checked the organization's internal information again. Moreover, as an intelligence officer, he naturally had more information than Scotland.
Bourbon knew that the organization had a habit of conducting human experiments a long time ago.
Although Bourbon and others were very concerned about what kind of experiments A was subjected to in the research institute, they did not ask too many questions for various considerations.
The information asymmetry caused Bourbon's mind to flash through countless cruel and bloody words, and finally stopped at one of them.
clone.
He suddenly remembered the doubt he had inadvertently complained about when he first learned that the Granti were a group of people - 'Could it be that the Granti were a specific species group? ' - Of course, this doubt was not entirely correct, but it also extended a guess in Bourbon's heart that seemed infinitely close to the correct answer.
What if the Grandys were a group of clones born with A as their body?
Because the organization would not clone a group of children who were unable to carry out the mission, the age estimates of the Grantis were adjusted upwards as far as technology allowed, resulting in the situation where A, who was still a child, was actually the older brother.
Of course! Since Granty and the others are clones, their real age must be younger than A.
In addition, compared to Subject A who is confined in the research institute, the Granti can learn various things, which is why it is the Granti who teaches A.
As for what A had told him before, that they would only have a chance to be free after A escaped, it could also be explained.
After all, the genes of the Granti come from A. When A gets out of control, the organization may not be able to clone new Granti.
When the idea that the whole thing was basically solved came to mind, Bourbon shuddered for no reason.
To achieve this, what level of technology has the organization reached? And what is the purpose of that gentleman to allow the research base to conduct such research that even the most inhumane evil people would tremble in fear?
When he looked at A this time, the suspicion in his eyes increased instead of decreased.
Being able to be cloned by the organization... If his guesses are all right, then what is so special about A that makes him indispensable? Can such a special experimental subject really live safely around the members of the organization after escaping?
Bourbon had more and more questions in his mind.
He couldn't help but wonder: A, did he really escape?
Bourbon is a smart man. Smart people never put all their eggs in one basket. They always think too much for the overall situation or to achieve their goals. They think of all possibilities, whether the other party will think of them or not, and then make plans accordingly. This is the way to control the situation to the greatest extent.
This is what Chi Jiangnanyue did himself, so he knew clearly that in this world without his involvement, Bourbon during his undercover period would always be forced by dangerous situations to become such a comprehensive "smart man", and his script and the drama he sang were built on this foundation.
The savior with his eyes closed could clearly feel that everyone around him was staring at him, either openly or secretly. He licked his pointed canine teeth, and instead of feeling nervous or embarrassed, he became even more excited.
For Chijiang Nayue, there are countless other ways to save these parallel worlds. The reason why he chose the most time-consuming and laborious one is because he doesn't like games that are not challenging.
Sure enough, playing games with smart people is always more interesting than performing a solo!
On the other hand, Bourbon could understand it, but Scotland and Ley couldn't.
Let’s not talk about Lei for now. He just occasionally heard A mention that there was a man named Granty who taught him a lot of things when he lived with A these two days. He didn’t know anything else.
Scotland was different. He was the only one among all the people present who remembered what A had said when he mentioned Granty in Bodo:
Granty, who taught him how to use a gun, is dead.
It's not that he didn't care about how A found out about him, he just never asked. It was only later that Bourbon found an opportunity to hint at him. Coupled with the pressure and fear brought by the number, Scotland only now calmed down and began to think about the matter carefully.
Bourbon had told him before that it was Granty who exposed the safe house information. At that time, Scotland thought he had learned the truth. He subconsciously believed that Granty died because he helped A escape from the organization.
Scotland is experiencing the same confusion as Bourbon.
If A and that Grandy were really brothers, why was it A who escaped? And why was Grandy, who had saved Hagiwara Kenji four years ago, A's "brother"?
He couldn't help but hold his forehead, and his brain felt a dull pain.
Influenced by that number, Scotland had not slept well these past few days, and he had to carry out the organization's mission as usual. Now he got such surprising information... He smiled bitterly in his heart.
"It's not a good idea to stand here and chat." Scotland finally decided to change the topic temporarily. At least he couldn't talk about A's secret in front of Ley. He smiled kindly and said, "Let's go back to the hotel first?"
Although it was a question, no one present felt that he was really asking for their opinions.
Because the four adults and one child, including Lei, had all long understood how terrifying a gentle person could be when he got angry.
Ley and Scotland's eyes met, and he suddenly remembered that before coming here, he seemed to have lost his temper and had a high-profile and fruitless match with the childish and vengeful Bourbon.
Lei opened his mouth and tried to defend himself in advance.
Scotland looked at him tenderly: "Do you have anything to say?"
On the snowy trail, the black-haired, green-eyed elite investigator shook his head calmly and shut his mouth.
While Ley and Scotland were talking, Bourbon approached the child who had turned back into a paralyzed ball without anyone noticing, and whispered mysteriously, "Do you want to come with me?"
The child didn't open his mouth at first, his eyes were filled with question marks.
When Chi Jiang Na Yue realized that Bourbon was asking this question seriously, he also moved over and lowered his voice, whispering under the eyes of the adults who were not paying attention to them, and asked in a whisper: "Where are you going?"
Judging from Bourbon's expression before, he had obviously guessed the relationship between Granty and A...
Chi Jiang Na Yue wondered, could this guy be planning to play the emotional card and completely pull poor little A, who is probably still under the control of the BOSS, into his own camp?
Oops, Bourbon might actually do that.
Chijiang Nayue blinked, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
He really wanted to move on to the next step of the script as soon as possible. He couldn't wait to see everyone's shocked expressions after they discovered the truth.
This time with a physical object, he can finally take photos of their dark history and show them to his friends. Yay!
Bourbon didn't know that the poor kid in his eyes was actually the big boss. His emotions were already very complicated. In order to verify the accuracy of his guess alone, he thought of "stealing" the child temporarily away from Scotland and Ley.
"We're going to a place that Scotland doesn't allow us to go." Bourbon deliberately emphasized in a low voice, "Just the two of us, without them."
The next second, the child had grabbed Bourbon's sleeve and stood resolutely beside Bourbon.
He didn't really want to sneak away, Chijiang Nayue thought righteously.
He was just a little curious about where Scotland was off-limits, really.
