Chapter 80 Thirty-one Shotas

The boy sitting next to the bed was holding a cup of hot Scottish milk to warm his hands. After the person opposite him finished describing the case they had experienced not long ago, he was silent for a few seconds and then sighed calmly: "It sounds like a lot of things happened while I was asleep."

The actions of the three adults in the room paused at the same time, and then returned to normal before the boy noticed.

"The case is now in the hands of the Nagano police. I think they will return empty-handed." Lei leaned back on the sofa and said calmly, "Since it is a case related to the organization, the higher-ups will probably intervene."

That being said, given that two of the four people in the room were police officers, Lei's tone basically confirmed that the police would get involved.

Bourbon rolled his eyes and seemed to be too lazy to answer. Scotland sat down beside him and explained to A: "No matter what, the target of the mission was killed during our investigation, and the way he died was so suspicious. The organization will definitely suspect that we did it to cover up the truth. Therefore, even if the murderer is found later, in order to conceal our identity, we still have to pretend that it was a substitute we pulled out in the organization."

"In order to avoid arousing suspicion from the organization, our vacation is about to end." Scotland sighed solemnly, "We have to return to Tokyo in advance. After all, our 'mission has been completed' now."

A's face was paralyzed, and others could not see his emotional changes, so no one could hear his inner complaints: "Edit, keep on editing."

It really sounds like that. If A didn't know what happened, he might have wavered for a second.

However, precisely because no one else could see it, Bourbon, who had never interrupted, was staring at A's back, lost in the memory of the conversation that had ended not long ago.

…

After the two, one big and one small, Granti finished their speech about destroying the world, the three undercover agents became serious.

This was not only because they realized that the Grantis were not lying and were seriously making such nonsense-sounding remarks, but also because they paid attention to the content of the previous remarks.

"Could you please explain to us first..." Bourbon asked as calmly as possible while pressing his temples, "Regarding what you said about Mr. A dying, is it because of his heart? But didn't he say he also has a mechanical heart?"

The two Grantys looked at each other, then looked at Bourbon and asked, "Brother, did you also tell you this?"

Scotland and Ley also focused their attention on Bourbon. The intelligence officer who was being stared at broke out in a cold sweat and suddenly remembered something.

It seems, as if, when he was explaining it to Scotland before, he subconsciously concealed the matter about A's heart?

He couldn't help but frown, realizing the meaning behind the question asked by Granti and others.

"No, he did tell me about this. The reason is a bit complicated. Anyway—" Bourbon suddenly realized that he seemed to have been fooled by A. "He told me that the base would use a mechanical heart to maintain his vital signs."

I remember that what he asked in the cabin was 'How did you survive without a heart?', focusing on wondering how A managed to live with them for half a month without a heart, but A's answer... Now think about it carefully, A actually said 'when I was in the organization'.

This was clearly an attempt to evade the main issue and directly skip over the situation after leaving the organization. However, Bourbon had spent a lot of energy in the blizzard at that time and did not realize that there was a problem with A's answer.

If there are still some methods that are useful in the organization, what will happen after leaving the organization? As far as Bourbon knows, there are indeed examples of mechanical hearts being installed in foreign countries, but there are prerequisites for the organization to use a mechanical heart on A.

They took A's heart and used a mechanical heart and a life support capsule to keep him alive because they wanted to make it impossible for A to leave the organization, or for A to die if he left the organization. Their real purpose was to use this method to completely restrain A, so that even if A had a chance to escape, he would not be able to choose to leave.

In this case, the mechanical heart that the organization gave A is definitely not the kind on the market that can operate independently. I'm afraid it still requires the cooperation of the organization.

In addition, A himself was irrationally fixed at this age by the organization in a special way and could not grow up. No one knew whether he could really survive if a new heart was transplanted into him.

The eyes of the Grantis gradually turned sympathetic. The boy squatted beside the shota and whispered to each other: "The Japanese police are so easy to deceive."

"Too naive. No wonder my brother likes him so much."

“That’s what I mean.”

The deceitful police chief had veins on his forehead and felt his hands itching.

I really want to give these two naughty kids a blow to their heads.

Scotland and Ley whispered something to each other, and then the former asked first: "Excuse me, is there something wrong with A's heart?"

This time it was Shota who spoke up. He said grimly, "Even if there is no problem, it will be created. Otherwise, how could the organization control Brother-sama for so many years?"

Although he had no expression on his face, the three of them could still see the emotion of "What kind of stupid question is this" on the boy's face.

Well, it seems that Granti and his friends are very confident that they can rescue A from the organization, and they are very angry about the organization's tasteless use of dirty problems to tie A up.

"After being modified by the researchers, Brother's body has completely adapted to the environment of the life support chamber and the cryochamber. The mechanical heart provided by the organization can only replenish energy in specific scenarios and cannot supply energy on its own. Once Brother leaves the research base like he is now, it is equivalent to cutting off the energy supply path, and the mechanical heart will gradually stop working."

"After twenty years of freezing, the changes in Brother's body functions have been slowed down by dozens of times. He has only been gone for a short time, so he can still survive. But if Brother is not frozen again, he will only have one and a half months left to live."

The boy put his hand on his chest, looking regretful for some reason, and said something strange: "It's a pity that my appearance age is set to be three years older than my brother, so I can't fool him..."

"As for refreezing Brother-sama first and then slowly finding a solution for us, that is not advisable. The old man in the organization has already lost interest in Brother-sama and plans to destroy or recycle him in the next few months... He is unforgivable. After rescuing Brother-sama, we will not let him go." said the young man.

They must leave the organization at this time, but this means that A's physical condition will only give him two months to live from the day he leaves the organization.

They also cannot allow anyone to refreeze A.

"Brother has endured such cold loneliness for twenty years." The boy clenched his fists. "Since he has left, neither we nor Brother would agree to continue living in that way. Besides, that method cannot be used now."

"Whether Brother is aware of his physical condition or not, I think it's clear now. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to explain it to you in such a roundabout way." Shota continued, "We only found out about this after we sent Brother out... So, we decided to push forward the plan and execute it ahead of schedule, using other means to keep Brother alive."

Bourbon and the other two also thought about what would happen to A if the Grantis hadn't discovered it.

The boy who was frozen in time had never planned to live for two months. He planned to destroy the organization and take revenge, and then face death. So it seems that the Grantis chose to contact them at this time with a strong purpose, and they were clearly using A's original plan.

Bourbon Scotch and Ley are both the top talents in their respective groups. When A revealed his plan yesterday, they discovered some of A's little tricks in the past half month. The kid did not honestly identify himself and ask for cooperation right away, probably because he wanted to cultivate the most basic trust and emotions with them in the past half month.

The three of them had no objection to this. Feelings are two-way. While they are giving, A is also taking it seriously. As long as they understand this, it doesn't matter.

Granti and his team knew that their investigation here proved that A had confessed to them, so they proposed another cooperation to them.

This is because at this moment, all three of them had exactly the right connection with A, and they realized that they could not sit idly by and watch A die like this.

The three of them always felt unhappy about being plotted against, but they could not ignore Granti's words. After all, this special cooperation was beneficial to their plan to destroy the organization.

"We can't give an immediate answer." Bourbon finally spoke up, "Just your one-sided statement is not enough for us to agree to this action. Logically speaking, Mr. A has been working with us for a longer time, so even if we believe him, we will believe what he says first."

Yes, even now that the three of them were almost certain that the Grantis were not lying, they would not agree immediately. This was no small matter.

The Grantis were well aware of this and did not make it difficult.

Leaving aside the topic of cooperation, Bourbon discovered another piece of information worth pondering: the Grantis seemed to be well aware of what was happening between them and A.

"Isn't this natural?" the boy said confidently, "Even if we confirmed your undercover identities, we couldn't send Brother to you alone without any preparation."

...There seems to be nothing wrong with what he said.

"We won't tell you everything about us in order to prevent you from exposing your flaws in front of Brother. But we can say that we have our own way to extend our life cycle after leaving the organization until Brother's plan succeeds." Shota said frankly, "During the time Brother was with you, we have also been protecting Brother's safety in groups in the dark."

"Originally, Brother-sama had positioning and monitoring equipment on him, and with that we could always ensure that nothing would happen to him! Unfortunately, Brother-sama rejected this proposal, but we understand that he is actually a person who likes freedom very much."

Bourbon and Scotland, who knew about the situation, twitched their lips: A said at that time that Granty helped him remove all the positions of the organization, it turns out you wanted to keep them!

The boy blushed again with an expressionless face, his cheeks flushed. "But the photos of my brother at that time when he first wore the white coat without any underwear were taken by my friends at that time, and I have collected dozens of them. I have to make it clear in advance that even if we are partners, I will not give the photos to you guys who can see my brother every day, okay?"

"Although Brother-sama is really cute, if you attack him, you will die along with this world early." The little boy next to him said harmlessly.

The memory ended, and Bourbon covered his eyes with his hands.

Does Mr. A know what kind of obsession and feelings these Grantys have towards him? !

Of course, if you ask Chi Jiang Na Yue, he will definitely know.

Who told Bourbon and the others those things, and directed and acted out such a narcissistic script with the puppets, was it Akae Nazuki herself?

Not long ago, he and the trio finished their hand and did not stay to say anything more, giving them enough time to react and think. Then, apparently, 10562 carried 10561 away from the mountain.

I think Bourbon and the others also received the news. The police guarding the foot of the mountain did not monitor anyone entering or leaving the mountain during that period of time except the three members of the Whiskey Group - this is also normal. Who would have thought that in this scientific world there is an unscientific superpower savior.

In fact, after leaving the observation range of the three people, Akae Nazuki took back the shota doll, asked [Shu] to mold herself back to the appearance of A, and put her accurately back into the quilt that had been warmed in a cup of water in advance.

Therefore, when Bourbon and others hurried back to the hotel, what they got was a quilted potato that seemed to have been sleeping peacefully in the room from beginning to end.

At this time, the Little Potato in the Quilt was curled up on the edge of the bed, swinging his bare feet, with his head tucked in under the warm quilt. It looked like he was worried about whether he could keep his balance. Lei on the opposite side thought the same thing. He had already sat up straight and stretched out his hand to catch the little potato who fell asleep.

Bourbon and Scot also slowed down their movements. They made hand gestures. Bourbon turned off the lights in the room, Ley stuffed A back into the quilt, and Scot gently put away the milk cup and tucked in A's quilt before leaving.

A was waiting for them to come back alone in the hotel, and it was also very tiring.
