Tiantian Ichi Entertainment Club is a large entertainment city with three floors and a basement, located in the center of this chaotic area.
In this marginal area where the legal power is weak and the police have little jurisdiction, its position here is equivalent to that of a manager. Although it also uses the means of black-eating-black, it at least maintains a certain sense of peace.
It was because the situation here was complicated and confusing that Jiang Lai chose this place as the last place to explore. He wanted to collect more information before entering, but he didn't expect to come here early because of the mission requirements.
This time, the mission is to trade data with the owner of Tiantian Yizi Entertainment Club. The organization has already arranged a meeting with the owner today.
Little sheep Jiang Lai prepared himself mentally before entering the red-light area, but he still didn't expect it to be so "warm" and "open" here.
"Hey, you look unfamiliar. Little brother, have you come to the wrong place?"
"Hey, don't look down on me just because I'm young. Come on, I'll play with you and let you experience the new world~"
The woman with the clear, silver bell-like laughter cast a seductive glance at him. The little sheep Jiang Lai waved his hands repeatedly, saying "No, no, meh" in a hurry, while quickening his pace, wanting to leave as soon as possible.
"Do you still have the bleating habit? It's so cute."
"Oh, why are you walking so fast? Is it because I am not pretty? I am so sad."
The women's clothes were not too revealing, but they were tight to their bodies, outlining their graceful curves. They seemed to be teasing the little sheep Jiang Lai, saying some half-joking and half-serious teasing, waving their hands to let the little sheep pass, and half-jokingly saying things like "I can give you a discount if we are compatible" and "I don't mind your lack of skills."
Jiang Lai, who had never seen such a scene before, could not help but tighten his grip on the computer bag, but he remained calm on the surface, and his feet sped up even more. He saw Akai Shuichi standing and waiting at the other end from a distance, and it was like seeing a savior!
Jiang Lai had never been so eager to see Hei Chi——!!
The long-haired Shuichi Akai was standing there, wearing a high-necked shirt, leaning against the cement wall outside the red-light district. He was wearing a slim and smooth black suit, with a cold expression on his angular face. He held a cigarette between his fingers, puffing out smoke and blurring his vision. The tiny sparks from the cigarette butt flickered in his dark green wolf eyes.
Perhaps it was because Akai Hideichi's attitude of keeping people away was too sharp, and no one around bothered him.
Those who can survive in this area are not fools, and most of them can make sharp judgments about who can get close to them and who can't. Even for the soft-looking little sheep, the red light district woman only made superficial jokes and carefully kept a certain distance, not really getting close.
"Lei!" Jiang Lai, the little sheep, jumped to Akai Shuichi's side in two or three steps, "I'm here."
Akai Shuichi looked down at his watch and said, "Well, the time is just right."
Jiang Lai's eyes seemed to casually sweep over the other's neck. Under the high-necked shirt, only a faint silhouette of a collar was revealed. The slender black hair was like a hidden big hand tightly locking the other person.
——I don’t know what material and structure the collar is made of.
Jiang Lai pondered in his mind, and his imagination ran wildly connected with the forum news he saw last night.
Shuichi Akai himself certainly didn't know that since that episode was released, the number of his books has skyrocketed! (Akai:?)
Jiang Lai certainly didn't go searching on purpose, but when he was checking out the analysis of the forum bigwigs, he inadvertently came across many pictures that hadn't been blocked, semi-conscious jokes, indescribable links and hints, and a bar chart of newly added books.
Jiang Lai: I don’t quite understand, but I am greatly shocked (Universe Thought Sublimation.jpg)
The settings of some of the books were very sophisticated and rigorous, and they contained graphic analysis and conjectures about the collars. In order to further enhance his understanding, Jiang Lai finally chose to be half-hidden and read several books with a scientific attitude and a serious and dignified demeanor.
Although Jiang Lai didn't read the book for the sake of the book, he still felt a little guilty when he saw the real owner in front of him...
Akai Shuichi blew out a faint smoke ring, threw the remaining half of the cigarette on the red brick floor, crushed the cigarette butt with his leather shoes, and calmly instructed: "You have already read the mission in advance, and the transaction data is in my hands. Just in case, you should first search the internal structure of Tiantian Yizi Entertainment Club and simulate the appropriate evacuation route in case of an accident."
"Okay!" Jiang Lai, the little sheep, regained his composure and nodded quickly. He took out his phone and started editing.
Akai Shuichi put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the most conspicuous building in front.
The cold wind from the alley lifted his black hair, which looked like smooth crow feathers, and together with the shadow on the ground, they weaved a swaying prison.
Although he was brainwashed into a black-red, Shuichi Akai was no different from before. After all, he had previously disguised himself as a loyal member of the organization and was lurking as Rai. It was precisely because his previous disguise was so sophisticated that the gentleman did not realize that Shuichi Akai had already gotten rid of the brainwashing.
But Jiang Lai knew that although there was no apparent difference on the surface, the methods used to deal with problems, the mentality used when planning, and the attitude towards his companions were definitely much more ruthless.
Hei Chi is a very dangerous character. He will no longer follow the values and bottom line of the former FBI ace. The sword without restraint will be more lethal than before. Maybe when he does something against himself, a sudden struggle will flash through his mind, but the concept of obedience implanted in that gentleman will probably be higher than this.
The collision of the beliefs deep in the soul and the commands implanted in the brain must be very uncomfortable. Maybe there will be some pulling and tearing headaches.
I hope I can gain something this time. Jiang Lai looked at the building decorated with luxurious decorations from afar and thought to himself, I must find the antidote data and win this dangerous gamble.
The crowd inside Tiantian Yizi Entertainment Club was very busy. Loud conversations and hearty laughter, along with the smell of cigarettes and alcohol, mixed together and hit my face.
Although the boss here has a lot of say, the rules are not strict, so people here can do whatever they want as long as they don't go too far and just enjoy themselves.
Akai Shuichi's eyes swept through the crowd with secret inquiry. Only when someone looked at him curiously would he reveal a cold aura, forcing the other person to quickly turn their head away, not daring to look again.
The local bullies who had originally planned to give the stranger a beating, however, backed off after feeling the murderous intent of the cold, oppressive force.
This saved the little sheep Jiang Lai some trouble. He followed Akai Shuichi and passed through the noisy and chaotic crowd smoothly, preparing to go to the elevator.
However, when we got there, Akai Shuichi suddenly said, "You stay in the lobby on the first floor, ice wine."
"Mee?" The little sheep Jiang Lai was stunned.
"This is the rule of the owner of Amada Ichiji Entertainment Club. Only one person can meet and talk." Akai Shuichi said, "You wait on the first floor. Pay attention to your mobile email. I will contact you at any time."
"Oh, okay." Little Sheep Jiang Lai tilted his head. Of course, he was happy to split up so that he could search the place more conveniently. But he didn't want to stand here and wait foolishly.
Therefore, he looked around with a curious expression and said in a soft voice, "Can I play around here, Lei? Everything seems very new and interesting."
"It's up to you." Akai Shuichi finished speaking, and suddenly added a hint of coldness at the end of his voice, "Don't delay the mission information." The corners of his sharp eyes were slightly raised, with a hint of warning.
"…It won't delay me."
Compared with the previous time, Akai's attitude towards the little sheep was much colder this time. In addition, he was wearing a black dress, except for the collar around his neck, which made him look more and more like Gin. Jiang Lai complained in his heart, but on the surface he still smiled playfully like a little sheep, waved his hand and said, "Bye, bye."
After watching Akai Shuichi go away, Jiang Lai retracted his gaze and inadvertently glanced at the other corner of the hall, where he caught a glimpse of a familiar golden figure.
He was startled, and when he looked carefully, he found that it was actually an acquaintance! !
The blond, dark-skinned man had a perfect smile on his face, and a half-open jacket that was natural and natural, which made him blend in perfectly with the crowd. At this moment, he was chatting with the woman next to him who was wearing a red long skirt and bright earrings.
——Amuro Toru!? Why is he here too?! His presence doesn’t seem to be mentioned in this mission?
Jiang Lai was somewhat surprised. Although he was confused, he did not rush forward. Instead, he took a few steps back and hid behind an inconspicuous sculpture in a corner.
He still remembered what the gentleman had said to Ley in the comics, asking Ley to pretend to be an FBI agent and catch all the undercover agents and those in the hidden camp. Could it be that summoning Bourbon secretly was also a way to catch fish? Or did Toru Amuro not come here as Bourbon?
He looked at his phone.
When he first collaborated with Icewine Lei remotely at the amusement park, he paid to help Akai Shuichi repair and upgrade his mobile phone system, but he actually kept a trick up his sleeve - just to prevent the situation of confrontation between the camps at this time.
He planted a hidden "seed" in Akai Shuichi's mobile phone. It was the evidence that Jiang Lai had been researching for a long time. Ordinary antivirus software and other computer technicians could not search it. Jiang Lai did not use it on weekdays. But now, it was time to put it to good use.
He narrowed his eyes, and remotely and silently activated the implanted program, operating slowly and carefully, as if extending a light and slender tentacle, secretly reaching deep into Akai Shuichi's mailbox.
The messages he had exchanged with that gentleman would naturally be carefully deleted after reading. However, because of the system that Jiang Lai had secretly implanted long ago, he deliberately intercepted them for a period of time.
It was just the right time for Jiang Lai to read it at this time.
On the surface, the mission this time was for Lei Yi Ice Wine to conduct a data transaction with the owner of Tiantian Yizi Entertainment Club, but secretly, Lei Yi was assigned other tasks!
The gentleman seemed to have released different messages to different camps. He asked Lei to pretend to be an FBI undercover agent in this incident (yes, the gentleman turned the tables and said that the FBI had kidnapped the originally loyal Lei) to help him catch a few hidden rats.
...From this perspective, both Toru Amuro and I are objects of suspicion.
Jiang Lai narrowed his eyes and continued looking down.
In the last letter, the gentleman said that Lei should complete the transaction and plant enough bombs before leaving to blow up this place and send all the people in this club to hell.
Jiang Lai: “?!!”
Why is the attitude so ruthless this time, an attitude that would rather kill ten people by mistake than let one go! Could it be that there is someone among them that the gentleman wants to get rid of no matter what, even without the need for testimony?
The researcher's diary reappeared in his mind. Jiang Lai tightened his grip on the phone, and a possible guess inexplicably emerged in his mind.
Miyano Akemi.
Could she really be hiding here?
Exhaling, Little Sheep Jiang Lai sent a message to Amuro Toru using the email address of Ice Wine. However, the blond man in the distance was still chatting with the woman in the long skirt with a relaxed look, without any intention of checking his phone, and seemed to have muted it and even turned off the vibration.
Jiang Lai was thinking in his mind whether he should say hello to Amuro Toru later and secretly remind him about Akai, when his eyes noticed a new figure entering the gate.
The man with long silver hair and a black windbreaker lowered the brim of his hat and stepped into the club.
Jiang Lai: "..." Why is Gin here too? ?
It's getting too busy here! !
