Chapter 82 Thirty-three Shotas
"Wow, how did you untie the rope?" A child who was closer to Chijiang Nayue asked curiously, twisting his wrist and saying, "I can't move..."
Several children nearby couldn't help but echo what was said.
When Chijiang Nayue was thrown in, the female teacher reached out to catch it, so there was a circle of little carrots surrounding the place where Chijiang Nayue was standing now, and each of them looked at him with shining eyes.
Without any time to think, Chijiang Nayue spread her palms in front of the children, and said seriously with a limp face, "My scissors have not been taken away."
Judging from the expressions of the children in the room, it was obvious that they all believed it.
However, the only adult (in appearance) present stared speechlessly at the ball of rope around Chijiang's moon feet and the broken section that was obviously torn apart.
She couldn't help but show an expression of wanting to say something but stopping herself from saying it.
Are children nowadays so strong?
Chi Jiang Na Yue did not pay too much attention to this acquaintance. He quickly untied all the children around him. The freed little carrot heads also followed suit and helped others to untie themselves, so before long, everyone regained their freedom of movement.
Apparently, Na Yue Chi Jiang, who looked more mature and calm than she appeared, and had a delicate and pretty face, and who casually took out a pair of scissors to "rescue" them, unsurprisingly became the object of adoration for the children, and successfully received a lot of sparkling glances.
He made a gesture to silence them, and the children who had been a little agitated actually quieted down. This made Chijiang Nayue and the female teacher secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Chi Jiang Na Yue suspected that the children's emotions recovered so quickly, perhaps because he was able to hide a pair of scissors under the noses of the gangsters, and because he looked a few years younger than these children, but he was still calm and saved them.
Touching the inconspicuous secret pocket on his clothes and then touching the seam of the pocket on his shorts, Chijiang Nayue's eyes went blank for a moment.
Ah, although he did have a lot of pockets, they were all sewn for him by the skilled handicrafter Ley, and he used them to store the candies given by Scotland and the eavesdropping device he found from Bourbon. The small pair of scissors was taken from Scotland's backpack before he decided to follow him.
How should he explain his unauthorized actions to Whiskey and the other two later... Forget it, if he's in doubt, he'll just pass it to Granty!
Thinking of this, Chijiang Nayue quickly made a decision.
There were no windows in the room and the only door was tightly closed. All the hostages were crowded in the corner and the bomb was placed next to the door.
When he came in, Chi Jiang Na Yue had already confirmed that there was no surveillance here, so he untied everyone with peace of mind. Now it seems that they must dismantle the bomb before escaping, and he has more important things to do.
He thought about it, walked towards the female teacher who was standing not far away, reached out and gently pulled the hem of the female teacher's clothes.
"Hmm? Is there anything I can help you with?" The teacher who had just comforted the frightened student squatted down and said softly, "Don't be afraid, the police will be here soon. If any bad guys come in, just hide with the other kids. The teacher will protect you."
It sounds like this teacher thought that it was just a coincidence that Akae Nayue was able to take out the scissors, and regarded him as a child who needed to be protected, but——
Chijiang Nayue sighed in her heart.
Is Rum very idle recently? His capable subordinate was actually sent to an elementary school to work as a teacher while lurking? If so, should he let others find something to do for the organization in the future...
He raised his head slightly and looked at the person in front of him. He didn't say anything, but just looked at her simply, pretending to reminisce.
"I've seen you before." She heard the strange boy who was thrown in halfway say slowly, "In Qianye."
She saw a woman with short black hair and black irises in those clear and bright eyes. When she blinked, the reflected shadow seemed to turn into silver-haired and heterochromic eyes, her true appearance.
She - Curacao Yagen had no time to be alert before she felt dazed for a moment.
As the most valued intelligence officer under Rum, Curacao's special ability lies in her brain with a structure different from that of an ordinary person. No matter how much information and intelligence there is, she only needs to take a glance at it, and she can extract it from her brain in a special way at any time afterwards.
Normally, Curacao would carry a small book of five-color cards with him to help him remember things, and one of them was... a bright red card like this.
When she focused her gaze on the boy's face again, it was obvious that she saw some special information in her memory, and the alertness in her eyes was replaced by disbelief.
Chijiang Nayue knew why, because Curacao recognized who he was.
His first meeting with Curacao happened much longer than anyone else's. Among all the people still alive in this world, Curacao is the only one who has actually met A, except Karasuma Renya.
Even though they had only met once in the base in Chiba twenty years ago, Akae Nayue had never doubted whether Curacao would remember him.
The reason why this person was not included in the script before was because he had more critical things to do.
In fact, Chi Jiang had prepared more than just Curacao's script that month, but as Rum's subordinate, finding Curacao's whereabouts was the most troublesome.
So he originally planned to try to encounter Vermouth or Gin from this world, but who knew that his usual good luck would bring him directly to Curacao, the most stable target.
It's really super lucky, worthy of the name "Lucky" he specially chose. Now he can cross out the line in the script that "a lucky person is randomly selected and he will scam him".
It's obvious why Curacao was shocked, right? After all, Curacao had remembered that he looked like this when he first met him. How could a normal person still look like a five-year-old after twenty years?
In Akae Nazuki's memory, Curacao remembered that he was brought to the base by Karasuma Renya twenty years ago. In this world, he would probably also remember that the base was massacred after Xiao A's experiment failed.
However, after this incident is over, Curacao will most likely not report the information about meeting him.
Who said he was still a child? He was a Curacao special attack. I guess Curacao will help him hide his identity until they find out what happened to him.
That won't work.
"You saw someone here who shouldn't be there, a dead person who should have disappeared 20 years ago, and you were terrified, so you reported this to that gentleman as soon as you left here."
The childish-looking boy reached out and touched Curacao's face, and their foreheads touched each other affectionately. The boy spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito, and no one could hear him clearly if they were not very close.
These words seemed to have an irresistible power. Curacao's eyes became more dazed and he unconsciously repeated the boy's words.
Akajiang Nayue's hypnosis skills come from his former direct subordinate. The other party's ability is to use sound as a medium to control the mind of others with a handful of sand. In Akajiang Nayue's hands, this ability becomes a very convenient hypnosis for dimensionality reduction attack.
Generally speaking, as long as the eyes meet, the condition is met. With two approaches like this, the effect will be maximized.
“You have to tell him—” Chijiang Nayue lowered her eyelids and said softly, “Kaluya is resurrected.”
Karasuma Renya will not remember who A is, just like people will not remember how many pieces of paper they have torn up, but Karasuma Renya will remember who Kaluya is, because this code name that haunts him like a ghost for the rest of his life was given to him by Karasuma Renya.
Doesn't the old man want to reverse the flow of time and bring the dead back to life?
The boy in front of Curacao still had a blank expression on his face, but his eyes were full of joy.
Look, he's back from hell. The old man must be happy to die, right?
…
Curacao was brought back to her senses by the children's hands. She covered her forehead with her hands, looking terrified and uncertain.
However, before she thought about how to investigate the child later, the top priority for everyone here was the bomb.
As she was thinking about this, she was still considering how to deal with the police if her bomb disposal skills were exposed, when she heard the children cheering at the door.
Curacao, who had to play the role of a teacher due to special mission requirements, looked up in confusion and heard what the group of children were cheering.
"Mr. A is awesome! He even dismantled the bomb!"
Curacao: ?
Curacao's confused gaze once again moved to the rope on the ground that no one cared about.
Kids nowadays are not only incredibly strong, but they can also... defuse bombs? ?
