Shuichi Akai left the next morning without saying much before leaving. He and Jiang Lai continued to be their own riddle tellers, maintaining their mysterious auras.
The only thing revealed was his name - Zhu Xing Da. And it was a pseudonym.
However, Jiang Lai had already made a judgment on Akai Shuichi's camp in his mind, and at this moment he was no longer as defensive and nervous as before. Instead, he seemed to be calmer.
Kurosawa Akira's second personality did not come out at this time. The silver-haired elementary school student was still packing his schoolbag in his bedroom, preparing to go to school later.
Ever since he took out the note left by the second personality from his pocket last night, Jiang Lai had a strange feeling in his heart whenever Kurosawa Akira looked at him, as if he could see those gray eyes through the dark green, silently echoing the words "I'm watching you".
Ah...like some horror movie or something.
Jiang Lai didn't want Kurosawa Akira to notice anything, so he just kept it to himself and felt uncomfortable for a few days, but he got better soon.
It doesn't matter. He thought. The second personality is also Xiao Zhao. They are essentially the same person and will not hurt themselves.
Just like the scene on the cruise ship at that time.
And they had always been like this before, so it would be fine to just do it the same as usual. Since the second personality was also there, there was no need to get to know each other all over again, as they were already so familiar with each other.
So I adjusted my mindset.
The comic is mainly from Conan's perspective, so Jiang Lai is curious whether the content of Shuichi Akai and the second personality will be drawn in.
Then Jiang Lai discovered Conan, the classmate who was hiding not far away that day, from the comic book he opened.
Jiang Lai: ...Wow, Conan is everywhere.
When he came out of the supermarket that day, Conan happened to be not far away. In fact, he followed Akai Shuichi here. When he found the long-haired man who was not in a good state, he hesitated for a moment, but still raised his feet to chase after him.
From Conan's perspective, he turned around and saw himself supporting Akai Shuichi who was half-lowering his head.
When Conan saw the black-haired young man, he paused and hid in the alley on the side, his heart pounding!
The black-haired young man had a calm smile on his face and coaxed the girls away. He noticed a few people walking in the distance, stopped, lowered his eyes, and put the things in his hands on the ground.
When he looked up again, his face was cold and deep, which made Conan, who was hiding in the dark, shudder in his heart.
Jiang Lai: ...Thank you for recognizing my acting skills:-D
When those bastards ran away, Conan also noticed the black-haired young man putting his hands into his pockets, and the same guess emerged in his mind - there was a gun.
"..." Conan adjusted his breathing, beads of sweat oozing out from the corners of his forehead. His sapphire eyes were fixed on the young man who was walking away with the long-haired man in front of him, but he did not dare to raise his feet to catch up with him.
--danger.
This is a detective's intuition.
Conan stood there, his lips straightened, looking far away into the distance where the street lights could not reach.
Their figures blended into the night.
Jiang Lai: “…” Not bad, not bad, I have now developed a ‘dangerous’ aura, keep it up.
Jiang Lai the cat decided to always keep a small iron box of candy in his pocket from now on. Not only can he feed it to human cubs like Kurosawa Showa and Conan (? ), but he can also use it to scare people at special moments.
The forum will certainly not be scared, the more stimulating it is, the more excited it will be.
[Conan found Akai Cat, great, he chased after him - shock, Jiang Lai Boss Cat appeared in front of him! Brake and hide! ]
【The people upstairs laughed so hard, the animation effect is out. 】
[What happened to Akai? ? He looks really bad...]
[I'm fine with the battle damage! But it seems that Akai's current injuries are not external, but internal? Headache? 】
[As for headaches...I feel like it has something to do with memory.]
[The key is that Jiang Lai supported him! Although Conan was like this when he arrived at the scene, I don’t know who found who first, but it can be seen that the two must know each other! ]
[Jiang Lai's expression and eyes are amazing! He scared all the small fish away! Is this the pressure from a superior? Hiss, hiss, so cool! ]
[Hiss… I’m a bit incoherent now. Did Jiang Lai take Akai home? Also, someone mentioned earlier that Akai looked a bit troubled when he was supported by his forehead. Could it be a sequela of brainwashing? ]
[Ah, it's very possible!! So Akai is red! But Akai's red was washed into black, and sometimes there will be fragments of past memories, and then the memory will be pulled and it will give me a headache. ]
Almost. Jiang Lai thought. But in reality, Akai had already remembered it. He was fighting against something that wanted him to forget, not the shock of remembering it.
[Ah, so now Jiang Lai has taken him back again...]
[Well, if the tamed prey is not obedient, it must be tamed again~ (dog head storm.jpg)]
[Upstairs! Sharing brains! I want to see the process——]
Jiang Lai paused, and before anyone else spoke up about this topic, he took the lead and typed: [So, Jiang Lai is the hidden BOSS! Support Jiang Lai to be the BOSS!! =w=]
【Hahaha, I'll give you one more point, but I think it's more of a plot to usurp the throne. Not yet, pull in these brainwashed or controlled former red team members, and secretly seize the power of the current BOSS!】
【BOSS cat, I can do it! 】
【Jiang Lai Cat Cat Rush!!】
Jiang Lai put away his phone and looked up at the sky.
…Just three forum ideas are not enough. If you want to really become a boss, there is actually a long way to go.
But now this is indeed a road that we have to take no matter how difficult it is.
A few days later, Teitan High School distributed benefits to new and old teachers, and Jiang Lai also got one. He won a three-day trip to a place called Sakura Valley (yes, the magical world of science has become spring again).
At the same time, you also have to complete the travel experience diary issued by the school, which should be at least 30,000 words.
Jiang Lai: "..." It feels like a primary school student writing a diary for a spring outing! Damn, there is even a word count requirement! ! _(:з)∠)_
Unfortunately, Kurosawa Akira has to go to school these two days, so I can't take him with me.
However, the silver-haired boy can cook and knows how to take the bus to school, so there is no need to worry even if Jiang Lai is not at home. In addition, the soul body of Morobushi Kagemitsu is also at home with Kurosawa Akira.
As for encountering danger... Ever since Jiang Lai knew that the second personality was also sharing vision, he stopped worrying because that guy would definitely come out when necessary.
However, Jiang Lai had other thoughts in his mind. Since he could come out at any time, why did he have to hide inside?
Is it because you don’t want to come out and interact with others, or is it because of some restrictions?
Jiang Lai touched his chin, thoughtfully.
——We need to further understand this.
Jiang Lai gave a few more instructions before leaving, and then embarked on the journey to Sakura Valley, leisurely taking the bus arranged by the school.
The bus can only stop at the foot of the mountain, and the hotel we arranged needs to climb up. Fortunately, the sunshine is mild and not too hot, the scenery on both sides of the way is also pretty good, and there is also a refreshing breeze, which effectively relieves people's fatigue.
There were also cherry blossom trees planted in front of the hotel. When the wind blew, the soft pink petals fluttered gently. Jiang Lai looked through the cherry blossom rain and saw a familiar person: "...Hey? Hagiwara?"
The half-long-haired man standing under the tree turned around when he heard the call. He looked slightly surprised, but soon turned into a smile: "Oh, it's Xiao Jiang Lai."
"I didn't expect you to be here." Jiang Lai took a few steps to his side. "Are you here to relax as well? It's rare for the Investigation Division to have a holiday."
"Well... because I was busy working overtime a few days ago, now that I have some free time, the people above me believe in combining work with rest, so the Metropolitan Police Department specially approved a vacation benefit for me." Hagiwara Kenji smiled, "A three-day trip to Sakura Valley."
"It's also a benefit for me, a benefit for the school, I got this place by drawing." Jiang Lai blinked smartly, "But I still have to write a diary of my experience, 30,000 words... Hagiwara, can you help me think of something to write then?"
"Hey, is this considered cheating, Jiang Lai?" Hagiwara Kenji joked with him, "I'm a policeman."
"What? It's not an exam." Jiang Lai smiled with half-moon eyes, grinning, "Do the police care about these things? I'm scared." He followed Hagiwara Kenji's joke.
They laughed a few times, and then Jiang Lai waved his hand and said, "And it's not ghostwriting, it's just providing some inspiration. The school doesn't say you can't discuss it with your friends."
"Haha, okay, I'll help you think about it." Hagiwara Kenji smacked his lips, "30,000 words, that's not easy."
"Isn't it?" Jiang Lai nodded solemnly. "I can't relax at all during this holiday... I might as well win a steak set meal at the Mika Fukui Building and go have a big meal."
"Relax~" Hagiwara Kenji put his arm around Jiang Lai's shoulder, "Let's go to the shrine on the mountain to pray tomorrow. It enshrines the local cherry blossom god. The shrine is small, but it's said to be quite effective."
"Huh?" Jiang Lai didn't really believe this, but it would be nice to walk around, so he nodded, "Okay, let's go together tomorrow."
"Yes, then Jiang Lai, please go to your room to put your things first." Hagiwara Kenji turned his head and asked, "Which room are you in?"
"Oh... let me see." Jiang Lai looked down at the room number he had drawn, "It's A206, a triple room."
The rooms here are double and triple rooms, separated by gender, and each bed is separated by an opaque foldable partition in the middle to provide personal privacy, similar to a shared house.
Jiang Lai just hopes that his roommate won’t be too noisy.
"Oh wow," Hagiwara Kenji paused and said with a smile, "What a coincidence, me too, let's share a room."
"Hey!" Jiang Lai was surprised, "That's great."
Of course it's better to be with people you know than to be in a room with strangers.
Jiang Lai asked curiously, "Where is our other roommate?"
"Ah... I was the first one to arrive." Hagiwara Kenji shrugged, "I came out right after I put my things down. I haven't met the other roommate yet. I don't know if he's here now."
The two of them were walking and talking, and as they were talking, they had already reached the door of the room.
The door of the room with the sign A206 was open, and the last roommate in the room seemed to have just entered. He had just put down his backpack and was taking out some items.
Hearing the sound behind him, he stopped and turned to look at the door, revealing his face -
The man in the room had short light blonde hair, dark skin, and was wearing a white shirt and a black coat. When he saw the two people at the door, surprise flashed across his purple-gray eyes, but the expression on his face remained unchanged.
"Hello." He straightened up and greeted everyone with a smile, "I'm your roommate - Toru Amuro."
