Sensing Jiang Lai's intention, Kurosawa Akira continued to bury himself in his clothes and hide his face.

But in reality, Toru Amuro did not focus his attention on the silver-haired boy.

He just squatted in front of Yamamoto's body with an expression of surprise, with his back to them, and used his body as a shield to quickly and covertly take something out of the cloth bag opened by the man next to him.

The soul body of Morofuku Kagemitsu was the person with the best eyesight among the observers present. He noticed that Amuro Toru was secretly taking something away, and slightly raised the corners of his lips to express his admiration for his childhood friend.

Then he turned around and said to Jiang Lai, "Don't worry, he won't care about you and Kurosawa Akira for the time being." Morobushi Jingguang floated to Jiang Lai's side and said, "He's just here to collect things... Just pretend you know nothing."

“At the moment, I’m just a passerby.”

"..." Jiang Lai couldn't speak in reply now, but he responded with his eyes to show that he understood.

Of course he could understand the meaning of "temporarily" and "currently". Perhaps the next time they met, Toru Amuro would remember the scene at that time, and then analyze something and focus his attention on himself and Kurosawa Akira.

The police arrived very quickly, and Jiang Lai was taken away to take a statement, along with Amuro Toru - but he was only interviewed briefly as the last witness and an ordinary friend of the dead man, and was only given a few words.

The mystery of the murderer's suicide seemed to have no clue, and later it was attributed to revenge killing and subsequent self-destruction.

Kurosawa Akira and Conan were taken for psychological counseling. After all, children will always suffer psychological shock when facing such things.

...Though Conan is probably used to it.

When Jiang Lai walked out of the Metropolitan Police Department with Kurosawa Akira, he was still able to think about these things.

"There's something wrong at the scene." Morobushi Kagemitsu, who was still waiting for him in the co-pilot seat, said, with his hands crossed, looking thoughtful.

That person couldn't have committed suicide for no reason...So besides Kurosawa Akira and Edogawa Conan, was there anyone else present at the time?

"Yeah, that's true." Jiang Lai drove home and glanced at Kurosawa Akira in the back seat. "Are you okay, Xiao Zhao?"

This must be the first time he faced such a thing. For a real first-year student, it was really a huge shock.

The silver-haired boy shook his head lightly: "...It's okay."

Jiang Lai wanted to ask him about the situation at the scene, but after careful consideration, he decided not to provoke him and let Kurosawa Akira recover.

It was Kurosawa Akira who spoke up: "...Actually, I'm not that scared, I just feel a little disgusted." The young boy said in a low voice.

"..." Jiang Lai paused for a second, then continued to ask, "Were there any other people at the scene at that time?"

"No." Kurosawa Akira shook his head and frowned, "...I don't remember clearly."

"Um?"

"I felt my consciousness was blank, and when I came to my senses, you were squatting down." Kurosawa Akira raised his eyes, his dark green eyes were clear and bright, without any false colors.

Is "..." a blank mind when facing danger? A memory fragment after being shocked?

Jiang Lai comforted her, "It's okay, don't think about it."

After returning home, they still had their daily three meals. Matsuda Jinpei heard about the outing from Morobushi Kagemitsu and raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"A murder scene...? It's a small chance that we've encountered one." Matsuda Jinpei floated to Kurosawa Akira's side, "Hey, little rabbit, are you okay?"

Although the tone was still that lazy and annoying, one could hear the concern mixed in it.

The silver-haired boy bristled: "Don't call me that...!"

"Oh, you're still full of energy." Matsuda Jinpei said, "You've recovered well~"

"I wasn't scared in the first place." Kurosawa Akira put down the TV remote control. "I just felt a little disgusted at the time, but I feel better now."

"That's good." Matsuda Jinpei said with a smile, "Originally, I was thinking about sleeping with you in your room tonight, so that you won't be too scared to sleep."

"I've told you I'm not afraid anymore!"

Outside, Matsuda Jinpei could still hear him teasing Kurosawa Akira. Morofushi Kagemitsu came into the kitchen, looked at Jiang Lai who was washing the dishes, and whispered, "...I think there must be something wrong with either Kurosawa or that kid named Edogawa."

When his blue-gray eyes focused, they were like some kind of gem, flashing with a firm light.

Jiang Lai nodded, his tone very calm: "You are right... I don't think a member of an organization - even if he is a lower-level member - would choose to commit suicide."

He piled the washed porcelain bowls on one side and said, "Or, it is precisely because he is a member of the lower-middle class that he pursues living more."

"There shouldn't be a third party at that kind of scene, so the reason for his suicide is only related to the presence of Kurosawa Akira and Conan." Morobushi Kagemitsu continued to analyze.

"Although his death is good for Zero, I still welcome it. But this matter..." Morobushi Kagemitsu pondered for a moment, and finally said slowly, "Anyway, I will pay attention to Kurosawa Akira's condition, and you should be careful too."

Jiang Lai paused while wiping his hands: "Do you think there is something wrong with Zhao?"

"This is the most likely explanation. Don't forget that he is related to the organization." Zhu Fujingguang restrained his gentleness and said seriously, "——We can't let our guard down."

This organization is deeply rooted underground and is hidden in the darkness like an endless nightmare. People and things related to it cannot relax easily, otherwise they will be swallowed up by it without even a trace left.

"……"indeed.

Although Kurosawa Akira has always had the appearance and personality of a child, the organization would not bother to conduct an experiment to simply create an ordinary child.

"I understand." Jiang Lai exhaled, and his eyes glanced at the silver-haired boy who was still arguing with Matsuda Jinpei outside -

The light from above illuminated his body, casting a faint shadow behind him.

Before going to bed at night, Jiang Lai habitually turned on his mobile phone. The comics were updated very quickly, and at this moment the logo lit up again.

Oh, and you can see the scene from the comics!

Jiang Lai reacted quickly. He immediately sat up straight, leaned against the back of the bed, and opened the new issue of the comic.

His fingers were turning the pages, but his body became stiffer and stiffer. He stared at the screen intently, and finally finished reading the whole thing with some sweat on his face.

“…”

As expected, there is something wrong with Kurosawa Akira...!

Jiang Lai tightened his grip on the phone.

Those gray eyes, the softly uttered words, and the expressionless look were enough to give Jiang Lai a huge sense of unfamiliarity even if he had only seen them in a comic.

Kurosawa Akira's normal behavior couldn't be fake, right? If it was, it was too real.

Or should I say...inner and outer personality?

Jiang Lai rubbed his temples with a headache.

And most importantly, that tempting sentence that made the man commit suicide - was it a kind of forced hypnosis? Such a fast and effective hypnosis, like the "word spirit" in Japanese, is too incredible.

Jiang Laixin was vaguely reminded of it.

However, since the cornerstone is still the world of science, no matter what is linked, it will still be absorbed and reduced in dimension to the level of scientific acceptance.

Ah, but when I think about science, it seems understandable.

After all, Kyogoku Shin can kick steel and concrete pillars with his feet, and Kurosawa Akira is probably also specially strengthened in some aspect based on the rumors of the "Word Spirit". I don't know how the organization did it.

But rejuvenation is possible, and perhaps strengthening a certain characteristic is also possible.

This kind of hypnosis is related to psychological suggestion. It is difficult to resist it in the first place without training. If the other party also applies it to himself...

Fortunately, we still have Morobushi Kagemitsu and Matsuda Jinpei. As they are spirit bodies, they should not be affected.

If something happens, should you be able to tell yourself the truth?

The organization's test is indeed not an easy task.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lai also complained, "We're speaking English. What if the other party doesn't understand English?" to relax himself.

He flipped to the forum interface, intending to see if he could get more hidden information there.

[Ahh! The new character finally got a name. When she was taking the kids out at the beginning of the picnic, she introduced herself. Her name is Jiang Lai! ]

[Are you Chinese? The official added a Chinese character, and it seems like they are very important! Wow, so great! ]

[There are American and British characters, so it's normal to add China~ I'm looking forward to it! I just don't know if it will be the red side or the black side. 】

[Exciting, too exciting! ]

[Little Natsume suddenly showed up, haha, but she's so cute, and she provided key information~]

[Ahem, this can be considered a collaboration, right? They can release joint peripherals! I'll buy a ton of them! Two chefs are delighted! ]

[The highlight is the forest scene at the end! I was stunned!!]

[I was scared! The murder scene in the back was already very spooky, and the comic depiction by Akira Kurosawa was so scary! I was alone at home!]

[I was scared to death when I watched it in the middle of the night! 】

[Me too... Conan was more frightened, so pitiful.]

[As expected, no one associated with the organization is a good person (cat wipes sweat.jpg) But this kind of forced hypnosis has already gone beyond real science. 】

[Maybe it's some kind of connection? But the difference between the high and low martial arts worlds shouldn't be too outrageous, after all, it's still a scientific world. ]

[Ahem, I think if it's not a linkage, the scientific world itself is fine. Kyogoku is beyond reality, catching bullets with his bare hands and kicking steel bars. It's very scientific!]

[Fuck, when I mention him, I'm instantly convinced. Is this the ultimate science? ]

[He was so normal in the beginning, I thought he was just an ordinary character! But was it all acting, or is he a dual personality?]

[Hiss… If this is a performance, it’s a bit scary. He seems like a very dangerous guy.]

[Double personality is also scary... I don't know when the second personality will come out. But I vote for the double personality, otherwise the red side will be too weak, and Kurosawa Akira's eye color has changed. ]

[Oh, the emperor of details! Haha, this is a bit similar to the eye color change of Bourbon Three Faces. ]

[Just like Akashi's heterochromatic eyes and pure-colored eyes are different personalities~]

[I also vote for the dual personality. The first personality is the red side, and the second personality is the black side. How exciting! ]

[Wow, according to the direction of the youth comic, the first personality should defeat the second personality, and they will work hand in hand towards a better future! ]

[Wait, the official has warned that in this series, the Red Team may not necessarily win over the Black Team. Maybe in the end, the Second Personality will devour the First Personality or something... and then disguise itself as the First Personality and lurk in the Red Team. Oh my god, how scary! ]

[Uh-huh, is the new series so difficult at the beginning? ]

[And the new character is Jiang Lai. He seems to be unaware of the fact that his child has dual personalities... Danger! ]

[That's not certain. Maybe Jiang Lai is standing in the atmosphere. He doesn't know on the surface, but in fact he knows in his heart and uses this personality! After all, he may also be a member of the organization! ]

[I think so too. As a guardian, Jiang Lai couldn't possibly be unaware of this!]

[Even this time in Xiao Shulin’s murder case, it is possible that Jiang Lai was involved behind the scenes. He deliberately brought out the second personality to see what happened.]

[Shashasha, I love this kind of black boss hiding behind the scenes! ]

[Oh my god! This wave is too exciting, keep waiting! Official update soon! ]

【Let the storm come even harder! 】

Jiang Lai: “!” I want the cat wiping sweat emoticon pack too!

Forced to stand in the atmosphere.jpg

But at least I have gained some information... The detail of eye color change can indeed be used to observe the other person's personality.

But... it feels really two-dimensional! (Although it is indeed a two-dimensional world now)

There was a sudden clicking sound from the side. Jiang Lai subconsciously turned off the screen of his phone and looked up at the door.

The door was gently pushed open, and a silver-haired boy was standing there barefoot. In the shroud of night, his expression could not be seen clearly.

"……?"

It's so late, why is Kurosawa Akira looking for me?

Jiang Lai, who had just finished reading the new comic, was still a little nervous, but he still smiled and asked, "What's wrong, Xiao Zhao?"

The author has something to say:

Jiang Lai: ...No matter what it is, it should be able to be cured by reducing the dimension to the scientific worldview! (Socialist Iron Fist.jpg)
