Chapter 92 He's still in my subconscious [VIP]
At that moment, Rei Furuya and Ryuzaki called Shuichi Akai, who, upon arriving, coldly asked, "What do you want?"
"I wanted to talk to you about the person in the photo at the research institute," Furuya Rei said, waving the photo in his hand.
Shuichi Akai: "Didn't you say you wouldn't let me have any contact with you? You won't even let me see a photo."
“It’s ready now.” Morofushi Kagemitsu smiled slightly. “However, we’re not entirely sure. But we still hope you’re mentally prepared.”
As he spoke, Rei Furuya handed over the photo.
Shuichi Akai had no idea what was going on with their strange attitude, so he just shrugged, took the photo, and glanced at it.
Upon seeing the child's face in the photo, Shuichi Akai's fingers trembled slightly. His expression darkened as he questioned, "Is this really the photo?"
Rei Furuya nodded: "According to Yuichi, the person involved, he was imprisoned in the research institute for two months and then escaped. However, the trauma was unavoidable, and due to the effects of certain experimental drugs, this child may suffer from amnesia due to stress trauma."
With each word he spoke, Shuichi Akai's expression darkened further.
"How did you find out that I had a relationship with him?" The question was asked calmly.
Rei Furuya: "Sixteen years ago, a couple came here to report a missing person case. The woman's original surname was Akai, and she looked similar to the Mr. Akai we know."
Shuichi Akai: "Yes, this is my cousin, Yagami."
"Don't you know your cousin has been missing for two months?"
“I should have been in the United States at the time, and I didn’t know anything about Yagami’s childhood until their accidental death, after which I took custody of Yagami.” Shuichi Akai sighed, carefully reviewing the case of Yagami’s childhood disappearance, his gaze falling on the dates. “If he was missing for two months, that means he had just escaped from the research institute, intending to find his parents, but instead, he found them dead in front of him.”
Two months after Yagami's disappearance, on the very day his parents died, perhaps the double blow caused severe post-traumatic stress disorder that made him forget many painful memories.
Ryuzaki received a message from Cheng You on his phone. He understood and said, "Cheng You asked if we know who that boy is? Although Cecil had someone investigate, he would never let just one person investigate. We need to protect the person in the photo." After he finished speaking, he looked at Akai Shuichi.
Shuichi Akai sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation: "I can't persuade him. He's too stubborn, and he keeps insisting on avenging his parents. Oh, by the way, where do you plan to put him for protection?"
Rei Furuya replied matter-of-factly, "Naturally, it's the Public Security Bureau."
Shuichi Akai lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before saying, "This is a key figure. The FBI cannot completely trust your police force. Let the FBI get involved."
Rei Furuya gave him a knowing look: "Okay, but I hope the FBI will follow the rules when they get to the police department and not ask questions they shouldn't."
"nature."
Rei Furuya then brought the topic back: "Didn't you say your cousin doesn't listen to you? How do you get him to cooperate with the police for protection?"
Shuichi Akai: "Cheng You and he are roommates and have a good relationship. It seems that the upper class likes Cheng You quite a bit, so we can let him go."
"You, as the older brother, couldn't even persuade him?" Ryuzaki asked, his large, dark-rimmed eyes wide open.
Shuichi Akai: "His parents died in an accident during a mission. The criminal had already been caught, but he stubbornly believed that there was another criminal and kept trying to catch him."
At this point, Morofushi Kagemitsu suddenly leaned over and asked, "Has he ever told you why he thinks that way?"
Shuichi Akai: "No, but he said the criminal who killed his parents was ruthless and hypocritical. He said he saw him with his own eyes, blond hair..." Blonde hair? The more he talks about it, the more it sounds like someone...
Morofushi Kagemitsu understood: "That's right. Perhaps it's not that he's clinging to the fictional killer of his parents' deaths, but that he still remembers Cecil. Even though his brain has erased that part of the memory to protect him, he still subconsciously wants to seek revenge on that blond hypocrite."
Ryuzaki nodded: "His obsession with the research institute is so deep, it's almost subconscious. I think Cheng Youyou has a way to help him." He took out his phone and sent a message to Cheng Youyou.
In the hospital ward, Cheng You recovered quickly. He did rehabilitation exercises in his room, progressing from the simplest to the most difficult, without any problems, and his recovery was excellent.
At first, he was very confused, but after learning that he was also a test subject, he realized that his body had undergone so many drug trials at the research institute, and his body's resistance, immunity, and repair capabilities were all quite good.
Yuichi said, "Not only is it good, Cecil is so obsessed with getting you, his abilities must be top-notch."
Indeed, Cheng You doesn't have the memories of his training at the research institute; some of his abilities come from system and muscle memory. If he could truly recall everything...
Cheng quickly denied the idea: "I don't want to remember everything. It's fine as it is now. I'm happy most of the time, and I'm also capable of protecting myself and my friends."
He didn't tell Morofushi Kagemitsu and the others that he was also one of the people the research institute was looking for. He only told them that Cecil had only given them two photos, and that one of the people they were looking for was Yuichi, while the other was unknown and should be given to them.
Right now, Cheng You doesn't know how to face them after telling them he was an experimental subject. Will they pity him? There's no need. Because Cheng You himself doesn't remember, he doesn't want to relive that pain, nor does he want his friends to share in his past suffering.
Shortly after, Cheng received a message from Ryuzaki, who recounted the process of finding the identity of the man in the photo and his conversation with Shuichi Akai.
“Do you know who the person in the third photo is?” he asked.
You shook her head.
"Yagami is here." Cheng said, emphasizing each word. The system had just told him that it had already arranged for all the relevant people to meet. He hadn't expected Yagami to come. After all, he and Akai Shuichi were brothers. How could Akai Shuichi not know that his brother had been kidnapped by the research institute?
Okay, I really don't know. Besides, Yagami Kamishin has also lost his memory.
Yuichi's pupils suddenly dilated: "Him?!" He had no recollection of him at all.
Cheng changed out of his hospital gown and put on his casual jacket, saying, "Furugu Rei will come to pick you up later. You should stay with the police for a few days."
Yu nodded. He needed to cooperate with the Red Team now and avoid causing them any trouble. He could continue his experiments with the police: "Okay, I want to bring Haibara along. I still need to continue the research from last time, as well as the extraction of Cecil's blood and the analysis of drug components in the blood."
"If she's willing, and the police agree, I have absolutely no objection."
"Then... what about you? Cecil definitely wants to capture you the most; you're the most dangerous."
"Don't worry," Cheng You straightened his collar and picked up his phone, "I'll go and persuade Mayor Ye first, and then stay in the Black Organization as Li Hua. It won't be too dangerous."
After saying that, he pulled up his hood and left the hospital. Instead of taking a taxi or any other means of transportation that might be recorded by surveillance cameras, he scanned a shared bicycle under his pseudonym and rode along a side road, avoiding all surveillance cameras.
In order to avoid attracting attention, he even hacked into the surveillance cameras of the entire residential complex where they lived beforehand.
Hacking into city surveillance is too easy to arouse suspicion, but hacking into residential communities is just right, since community property management is always prone to malfunctions.
After walking up the stairs to his room, he unlocked the door with his fingerprint.
With a "click," the door opened. Cheng You pushed the door open and found that the lights were off. He assumed that Ye Shenshen hadn't finished school yet, so he decided to wait for him. Just as he was changing his shoes in the entryway, he heard what sounded like clothes rustling inside.
Is Yagami Kamishin there?
After changing his shoes, Cheng You entered the room and saw Yashin Uesugi standing on the balcony with a gloomy expression. He was not surprised to see Cheng You and put his hands in his pockets.
Cheng suddenly had a bad feeling. After all, he could no longer hear Ye Shen's thoughts. Logically speaking, the other party would not commit a crime, but Ye Shen's mood was unpredictable.
Cheng's eyelids kept twitching; his sixth sense told him that danger was imminent.
He always carried a scalpel in his pocket, but he didn't take it. He was waiting for Yagami to speak.
But the other party remained silent. Just as Cheng You was about to take a step forward, Ye Shenshen suddenly spoke up, "Don't move."
These words suddenly stopped Cheng You. The other person took his hand out of his pocket, holding a gun. He pointed the gun at Cheng You.
Cheng You didn't understand what Ye Shen's report meant. He believed the other party didn't really want to kill him, but they also showed no intention of putting down their guns. He frantically called out to the system in his mind, "What's going on?! Isn't it supposed to mean you can't commit crimes if you can't hear your own thoughts?"
The system ignored him.
Cheng You: What do you mean? You can't keep an eye on all the prisoners?
The system calmly replied: "Don't worry, the system is never wrong. Trust the system."
Cheng You: You erased my memories and then implanted memories that weren't mine. You've been lying to me and making me believe you all along.
He didn't keep arguing with the system, but instead focused his attention on the gun in Yagami's hand.
Suddenly, Yagami laughed: "Last words." His tone was devoid of any emotion.
Cheng's lips twitched, hoping that Yagami was joking with him: "Last words?"
"explain!"
After a moment's thought, Cheng deliberately made a sentimental remark: "If I die, I hope you will be happy and not be trapped in the past."
Yagami was silent for a moment, then revealed his sharp teeth. He smiled, curled his lips, and suddenly pulled the trigger.
Cheng didn't dodge; he simply closed his eyes because he still held onto his last bit of trust in Ye Shen Shangcan.
"Bang—" After the gunshot, Cheng You felt no pain. He slowly opened his eyes and saw a rose on the muzzle of the gun that Yashin Uesugi was holding.
Yagami smiled and said, "Cheng You~ Why aren't you hiding? Are you trusting me too much? Are you too touched? It's been so long since I've been back, so I'm giving you a welcome-home surprise."
Cheng You gritted his teeth, then suddenly clenched his fist, his fingers making a crisp cracking sound. He approached Yagami Uesugi step by step: "Fine, who told you to play like this?!" After saying that, he punched Yagami Uesugi three times in the chest.
Suddenly, Yagami raised three fingers and swore, "I was wrong, I won't do it again. I learned this on the Gray Fox Assassin website to test the trust between friends and spouses. People often speak their true feelings and act according to their innermost thoughts in times of crisis."
"Tsk, why are you learning from that?" Cheng You pressed his temples. He hadn't paid attention to the Gray Fox Assassin's Dark Network for a long time, and now there was actually some useful information about it?
Yagami smiled and said, "At least, I know you trust me."
After hearing this, Cheng You couldn't help but smile. How could he possibly bring up the research institute now?
