Chapter 157



Even if there is a glimmer of hope, we must strive for it!

Little Sheep Jiang Lai thought so, blinked his eyes, and said sincerely: "You two usually go out together, so you stay in a double room and I stay in a single room, how about that?" Considering that he was facing the front desk staff, Little Sheep Jiang Lai did not mention the words code name and mission.

From the episode "Organization Daily", we can see that they often go on missions together, so they must have a good relationship, right? So this arrangement is very reasonable!

Moreover, the double rooms here are better equipped than single rooms. They are more comfortable and safe, which is the signature feature of the hotel.

Little sheep Jiang Lai thought so and added: "Well, actually it's mainly because I'm in a deep sleep and I'm afraid of disturbing you and not being able to sleep well." He said in a cute tone, "For the sake of everyone's sleep, it's better for me to have a room by myself, right?"

He tilted his head slightly, revealing the innocent look of a lamb.

However, the silver-haired man did not respond. He handed one of the room cards to Akai Shuichi, then side-glanced and said coldly, "Be quiet."

I actually complained that the little sheep was noisy (even though the little sheep was indeed very noisy)!! Damn it, the persuasion plan failed——

At this time, the three people had already left the front desk and walked into the currently empty corridor.

The little sheep Jiang Lai sighed in his heart and guessed that he was most likely following Akai Shuichi.

That's fine, that's fine... At least Shuichi Akai and I have determined our camps. Even if he and I have a financial feud, as an ace agent of the FBI, he must know that the mission is the most important thing. He will not argue with the young-looking Sheep Ice Wine, right?

Thinking of this, Little Lamb Icewine lowered his head slightly and followed the steps of Long-haired Lei. However, a cold and straightforward voice from the side made him pause: "Icewine."

"What?" The little sheep Jiang Lai looked up blankly.

Gin glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "Follow me."

...Huh? ? What! ?

Little sheep Jiang Lai stood there in bewilderment for a few seconds. He had never expected this kind of distribution method - Gin would actually choose to live in the same room with him! !

The silver-haired man started walking as soon as he finished speaking, the corner of his black windbreaker drawing a shallow arc in the air. His leather shoes landed silently, and his movements were like a cold and smooth black and white line drawing.

"..." Although Jiang Lai was shocked, he quickly adjusted his facial expression, put on a lamb-like smile, and said in a childish and cute voice, "Oh, I'm coming~" and then he quickened his pace and followed.

The only remaining double room and single room were not close to each other, one in the middle of the corridor and the other at the end. Little Lamb Ice Wine followed behind Gin like a little tail to the end of the corridor.

This hotel is not luxurious, but the decoration is very comfortable. The room is clean and tidy, and there are decorative paintings of plants hanging on the walls. When Jiang Lai saw that there were two separate beds in the room, he breathed a sigh of relief - that's great, he was worried that it would be a double room with a double bed!

If that's the case, he will probably have to sleep on the floor... He doesn't want to sleep on the floor and wake up with sore body the next day. Tomorrow he and Gin will go to the hotel to carry out a mission, which is very dangerous.

Being able to be in a room was already incredible, and having a bed was absolutely impossible!

After entering the house, the silver-haired man instinctively scanned the structure of the house, checking for places where eavesdropping devices or surveillance cameras might be hidden, and finally closed the curtains. He caught a glimpse of the little sheep Jiang Lai, paused, nodded and ordered: "Tomorrow's mission still requires some data, about the hotel's structural diagram and the problem of shift time switching, as well as big data route prediction, you deal with it now."

"Oh, okay." Little Sheep Jiang Lai opened his bag naturally, took out the laptop he carried with him, sat on the bed near the door and started writing - he guessed that Gin would choose a seat closer to the inside, so he sat on this bed.

Sometimes, mobile phones are not as convenient to use as computers. Therefore, when Jiang Lai can take out a notebook, his first choice is of course a computer.

To be honest...it's a bit nervous to be in the same room with Gin.

So why is the room allocation like this? Is it to make it easier for me to collect data? This is indeed the job I am doing now.

Little sheep Jiang Lai sat cross-legged on the bed. While editing the program to collect data, he pretended to use his mobile phone, but in fact he quietly opened the family group.

【#encryptedgroup#lovingfamily】

【#江錦鯉萊#: Family, SOS, the hotel only has one single room and one double room, so now Gin and I are sharing a room. 】

【#景光大貓貓#: Hmm? ? 】

[#Mouse glasses for business trips all year round#: Huh? ? ]

【#江錦鯉萊#: To be honest, I didn't expect this kind of assignment... He's checking the situation in the bathroom right now, and asked me to search for information here. Does he usually stay in the same room with others when he's on a mission?】

[#景光大貓貓#: ...No. Gin is suspicious and wary. Being in the same room with others is an invasion of his personal territory and should not happen.]

[#Perennial Business Trip Sunglasses#: Yes, I do, for example, when I need to meet my physiological needs. ]

【#江錦鯉萊#:……】

【#景光大貓貓#:……】

[#Perennial Business Trip's Sunglasses#: Wait, Jiang Lai, which disguise are you in now!? Are you a man?!]

[#江錦鯉萊#: ...Of course! Even if Ice Wine Little Sheep has a small braid, you can definitely tell her gender at a glance!! And although her voice is a little tender, it is also a boy's voice! ]

[#常年走的镜鏡#: And you are a minor in disguise! It would be too much if you did that! ]

【#江錦鯉萊#: Ahem, not really. 】

If we continue to discuss this, Gin's reputation will be ruined! Family groups always exaggerate things, and the concerns and associations from the elders (?) always extend to the strangest places.

Fortunately, Xiao Zhao is in class now and not looking at his phone, otherwise he would have been a bad influence on the child.

【#景光大貓貓#: Uh, if we analyze it calmly, it shouldn't be that case. After all, this is still during the mission, and Gin wouldn't, ahem, wouldn't...】

Jiang Lai: Gin is a serious model worker.

[#景光大貓貓#: Anyway, rather than this, I want to ask if he is suspicious of your identity? Being close is a good opportunity to observe, and at night and in a room close to the side, it is easy to get rid of you without alerting others, so be careful. ]

【#江錦鯉萊#: Hiss… No way, I didn’t do anything. The little sheep’s character is absolutely perfect. I had a hard time maintaining my character in the car and asked him for money in person. I didn’t have any suspicion of being an undercover agent in these missions. 】

[#Perennial Business Trip's Sunglasses#: Speaking of which, Jiang Lai, I have to tell you something, but you have to be careful. You need to keep silent in the organization. ]

【#江錦鯉萊#: Eh? You tell me. 】

The atmosphere was inexplicably tense. Jiang Lai swallowed his saliva.

[#Mountain glasses that travel all year round#: That is - in the organization, besides the gentleman sitting at the seat, there is actually... a hidden boss. ]

As if he had dropped some important topic, Matsuda Jinpei paused several times before speaking.

However--

Oh, so that's it! Jiang Lai's heart suddenly relaxed. He was so scared, he thought it was something else.

Don’t worry, don’t worry, actually the hidden BOSS is me (proud and puffed out chest)!

However, Jiang Lai still cooperated and replied properly.

【#江錦鯉萊#: Eh! Actually, I heard Jingguang mention it before. It is said that the factions in the organization are also divided into two groups? I am really not sure about this...】

[#景光大貓貓#: I added this information about the two bosses after my resurrection. Actually, I know very little, so I only mentioned it to you a few times. Now Jiang Lai, you are also in the organization, so you must listen to Matsuda's advice and remember to act cautiously. ]

[#Perennial Business Trip's Sunglasses#: Ah, how should I put it, I don't know much about that hidden boss, but I heard that they are against the current boss's experiment. It seems to be related to some predecessors of the organization? Although I don't know the specific situation, it's a bit unexpected that the organization actually has a predecessor... I don't know what kind of group it is. ]

It seems that the issue of the former organization's predecessor has also been suppressed, just like the news of the year, it cannot be found on the surface. Jiang Lai narrowed his eyes. He needed to find a way to find these and get solid evidence.

[#景光大貓貓#: For undercover agents like us, it doesn't matter which boss we are. However, since Gin is in the same room with you, it's not a test for undercover agents, so it's probably an observation of factional issues.]

...Huh?

Jiang Lai was slightly stunned. He was thinking in his mind, but he still replied first.

[#江錦鯉萊#: OK, I understand. Don't worry! I can handle it! ]

Then I began to dig out the details of the past from my memory and started to organize them.

All the missions that Little Lamb Ice Wine had participated in before were completed perfectly - at least on the surface. However, the gem data obtained by Hakone was false, the target person in the amusement park also let Jiang Lai know important information before his death, and the bar actually connected with Bourbon.

Another thing is that as a member of the hidden boss, he has secret contact with the FBI.

But these are all absolutely secret information, neither the organization nor Gin can know them!

Unless - what is being carried out now is the large-scale investigation requested by that gentleman. Little Sheep Jiang Lai lowered his eyes. The investigation was carried out based on some details and interpersonal networks.

Previously, he had been using the identity of HLJ to secretly attack the organization's system and interfere with its actions. In addition, due to the progress of the experiment and some opposition within the organization, the man with a strong desire for control may have become a little anxious. So a new round of personnel screening began.

According to Gin's personality, he should be accustomed to the current organization's style of doing things. Jiang Lai didn't think he would want to take back the research institute that benefits mankind. It sounded like a joke.

However, at the same time, his nature of pursuing freedom would never allow him to tolerate the modification and editing of his personality and memory by the gentleman who organized it.

——Therefore, Gin will not stand firmly on the side of any faction. He will stand proudly on his own side, standing on the top of the mountain like the Snow Wolf King, lowering his green eyes like ghost fire, and watching the fight between the two factions indifferently.

Under the authority of that gentleman, no one can subvert the organization, and the existence of the hidden boss can hinder that gentleman's brainwashing experiment. The current organization with the two factions entangled may be a situation that satisfies Gin.

Probably even if Gin knew who was on the hidden boss' side, he would turn a blind eye in most cases, instead of killing them one by one like he did to the undercover traitors in the organization.

However, this is different from Vermode's chaotic neutral attitude. If Gin thinks this way, then, in the case of a fight between two parties that is clearly at a disadvantage, for the sake of balance, the top killer of this organization should be slightly inclined to one side and casually lend a helping hand?

Thoughts were flowing in Jiang Lai's mind.

If this is the case, then Gin at this moment would probably lean slightly towards the hidden boss side - because the experiments in the organization are progressing too fast, and hiding forces requires strength.

After coming to this conclusion, Jiang Lai felt much more relaxed.

As long as Gin is not absolutely loyal to that gentleman, everything will be fine!

"Have you finished checking the data?" A low, hoarse voice came from the front.

Little sheep Jiang Lai smiled and raised his head: "Hurry up! It's being packed and sent to your mailbox!" He waved his hand lively.

Gin put his hands in his windbreaker, strode to the single bed on the inside, took off his black windbreaker and hung it on the hanger on the side.

Little Sheep Jiang Lai caught a glimpse of the entire clothes rack, which was tilted slightly.

Jiang Lai: ...This windbreaker is too heavy! It is indeed a walking arsenal!

Under Gin's windbreaker was a close-fitting garment that looked neat and tidy, without any cumbersomeness. He probably had a bulletproof vest on the inside, covering his chest. His deep green eyes scanned over, and he casually asked, "Do you have a grudge against Lei?"

"Huh?" Little Sheep Jiang Lai didn't expect the other party to suddenly bring this up. He blinked his eyes and said, "Why? He and I only worked together at the amusement park last time, and this time. It seems that there is no conflict."

"Is that so?" Gin sneered, "Your attitude seems a bit distant."

"That's not the case. Why would I stay away from anyone with small amounts of money?" Little Sheep Jiang Lai shook his head and answered, looking up at the sky with a distressed look, "It's just that this customer is a bit of a headache... Last time I helped him fix his phone at the amusement park, I asked him for a reasonable reward, but he seemed reluctant, such a stingy guy——"

Little Sheep Jiang Lai said, "I'm afraid he will steal money from me. After all, I'm just a technician and I don't have much ability to resist. So I'd better stay away from him in advance."

"Alas, how can a person be so stingy? This is not good." The brown-haired boy shook his head, and the small braid at the end of his hair swayed slightly with the movement.

(Akai Shuichi: ? Confusion of right and wrong, the evil sheep is the first to complain!)

"Hmph." Gin uttered a disdainful sound from his nose, not knowing who he was targeting. He changed the subject and said, "During your previous mission to Hakone, according to the mission report, you let one person go? It was said to be a student of Canadian Whisky."

Jiang Lai: My goodness, this happened so long ago, and the organization is digging up the past! !

Moreover, Bermode also wrote this incident in the mission report... However, looking at it this way, Jiang Lai can connect all the previous events together.

The organization suspected and investigated Canadian Whisky before and used itself as a part of the test chip. In addition to the account and Hagiwara's reasons, there was probably another reason. I suspect that Canadian Whisky reached some agreement with Ice Wine to protect his students, so that Ice Wine did not kill him.

Although the organization has completed the assessment of Canadian whisky at the villa, there is actually one last additional test! That is to connect with ice wine and look up old accounts!

Little Lamb Ice Wine thought about it in his heart, but on the surface he showed a casual reminiscence and frowned, "Mei? When did it happen? There are too many things, I have long forgotten it."

He shrugged. "Whether someone is killed or not is not a big deal to me. Killing people is troublesome most of the time. Of course, the money is another matter. I remember my clients more clearly, but there is no such person as Canadian Whisky."

On the childish face of Little Lamb Ice Wine there is indifference towards life, just like when talking about goods, he only becomes slightly interested when it is linked to money.

Gin raised the corners of his lips, raised his chin slightly, and said in a magnetic voice: "Have you finished collecting data?"

"It's over." Little sheep Jiang Lai put away his laptop and replied with a smile.

"Okay then." Gin nodded and said simply, "Let's go back."

The little sheep Jiang Lai was stunned: "What?"

The silver-haired man looked at the little sheep Jiang Lai with his dark green eyes: "You and Lei Yi will share a room."

"Ah?" Little sheep Jiang Lai still had a dull expression. He murmured subconsciously, "But this...isn't it the room for two people...?"

Gin seemed too lazy to talk anymore. He stood up and walked straight to the little sheep Jiang Lai. He grabbed the brown-haired boy by the back of his collar with his powerful hands and pulled him up: "Get out," he said.

“What the hell! This is a single room, isn’t it?! Is this a mistake?!”

The little sheep Jiang Lai struggled subconsciously.

——The other person’s hands were so strong that he could even half lift himself up!!

"I know." Gin's words were mixed with a bit of coldness and impatience, "You have repeated this topic many times."

You know you let me share a room with him! ! Little Sheep was shocked. Even if I shared a room with Lei, we should at least change rooms! There should be a clear distinction between single rooms and double rooms!

Gin pulled the little sheep Jiang Lai out of the door irresistibly, and then slammed the door shut with a smooth and decisive movement.

“Meh!” The brown-haired boy who was dragged out staggered and almost fell down. He was still muttering, “Oppressing subordinates, meh? That’s too much. You throw them away after use and still want to monopolize our room, wuwu. How can you do this, meh? It’s so unreasonable and inhumane, wuwu…”

——Sure enough, Gin won’t share a room with others!!

A suspicious and ruthless lone wolf will mark out his own territory and block anyone from entering.

However, the little sheep Jiang Lai didn't want to share a single room with Lai Yi. He planned to try to find a new place to live (which was difficult when the hotel was overcrowded), or just sleep in the park...

However, as if able to read minds through walls, Gin's door swung open again, and a man with long silver hair appeared at the door, looking at him expressionlessly: "Don't run around, Bingjiu, stay in the room you should be in." He said in an imperative tone.

"Meh?" Little sheep Jiang Lai tilted his head, "What if I run?"

"..." A cruel smile appeared on Gin's lips, and with a bit of the murderous intent of a carnivorous hunter, it enveloped the brown-haired boy and formed an impenetrable net.

The killer with long silver hair said slowly: "You can try ice wine."

Little sheep Jiang Lai: "..." Wow, it's actually a threat! How scary!

When the brown-haired boy stood there in a daze, Gin added, "If you don't obey the arrangements, your salary for this mission will be cancelled." He said coldly.

Little sheep Jiang Lai: “!!” He actually launched a special attack on the little sheep——Warning: deduction of money!

"Woo woo, meow, little sheep is just joking. Little sheep will absolutely obey the arrangements and follow the orders of big brother Gin." Little sheep Jiang Lai pretended to wipe away the non-existent tears and put his bag on his back. "I'm leaving now and going to find Lei."

Goodbye my bed, MeeMee is going to sleep on the cold, hard floor today!

The little sheep Jiang Lai knocked on Akai Shuichi's door, and after the other party opened the door, he said in a low voice, "Gin coldly and ruthlessly occupied the double room, and the little sheep swept out to squeeze into the single room."

Shuichi Akai: "Oh." His reaction was very calm. In fact, Lei already knew that Gin could not be with anyone else.

The little sheep sighed for a moment, then reacted.

In fact, sharing a single room with Lei doesn’t mean that I have to sleep on the floor.

After all, single rooms also have beds!

Little sheep Jiang Lai fell into deep thought - he had to find a way to sleep on the bed. How could he trick Lei Yi into sleeping on the floor?

After a fight, the winner gets to sleep on the bed or something. This shouldn't work. After all, I'm a technician, and fighting isn't my strong point. Little sheep Jiang Lai thought as he walked. Lei Yi didn't seem to have any leverage... Should I keep bleating to bother him?

However, according to Lei's personality, he probably doesn't care much about sleeping on a bed or on the floor, thought Jiang Lai, the little sheep. Probably for the sake of convenience, he won't talk or do anything with me.

But it’s not a good idea to say it directly, so you should be more tactful!

Little sheep Jiang Lai (euphemistically): "Woo-mee, Lai Yi, I'm sick. I have a disease called "bleating if not in bed"."

Akai Shuichi: “?”

Little sheep Jiang Lai (euphemistically): "Really, woo woo, I will bleat all night long. When I'm thirsty, I will drink some water and continue bleating. What should I do? This will affect the mission the next day. Only the bed can save the little sheep."

Akai Shuichi: “???”

Akai Shuichi (indifferent face): "Just tell me you want to sleep in the bed."

Little sheep Jiang Lai (surprised): "Lei Yi, you are so nice! I will pave the ground for you later so that you can sleep on the floor!!"

Shuichi Akai: I just pointed out the hidden meaning in your words...!

Little Sheep Jiang Lai: A decisive and action-oriented person, he will start paving the floor for Lei Yi.

Author's comments: Jiang Lai: Eh? Gin took the double room card, do we want a room?

Jiang Lai: Hey! Gin took the double room card and wanted to use it himself! !

Gin: Why should I put myself in such a difficult position?

Jiang Lai: Great, if Gin is not 100% loyal to that gentleman, there is a possibility that he can be pried away and used! !

Little Sheep (with a cute smile): Hi, Lei, let’s get one.

Akai Shuichi: My head hurts. My whole body hurts (???)
