Although he was planning to go, and there had indeed been interviews and reports about Samuel Samuel's incident in the news, Jiang Lai was still cautious and planned to tell his relatives and friends privately.
At the same time, I went to the supermarket and bought a few bottles of floral water and put them in my backpack, intending to become a walking floral water spirit that could not only repel mosquitoes and insects, but also perverts.
Because Kurosawa Akira wanted to go with him, he had to ask for leave from school. Jiang Lai specifically asked Kurosawa Akira to talk to Conan about this matter before leaving, so that the child of destiny would pay more attention to the existence of himself or the institute.
Jiang Lai: The Destiny Child is paying special attention to me, I definitely can't just GAME OVER. =w=
He then used his mobile phone to email Matsuda Jinpei and explained the matter to him, explaining the whole process, his thoughts and plans clearly. Matsuda Jinpei did not say anything more, but simply replied:
[Ha... OK. Give me your location when you arrive. Contact me if you need anything. Or if I don't hear from you for a week, I'll come find you.]
Jiang Lai: Do you report safety regularly? I wonder if the institute blocks the signal.
[Do you need to bring a weapon for self-defense? I can bring you a few guns. ]
Huh? Jiang Lai was stunned, thought for a moment and replied: [Thank you, but it may not be very convenient to carry it this time... and that guy's defense value is maxed out. However, next time we meet, please bring me another Glock, maybe I will need it later.]
[Hey, how come you need it later? Jiang Lai, you better be careful. But, okay, I'll bring it to you.]
[Don't worry, officer.] Jiang Lai replied with a smile, [It's just for self-defense.]
After all, as a hidden BOSS, you still need weapons.
Afterwards, Jiang Lai also said goodbye to Kenji Hagiwara.
Because of his profession, Hagiwara Kenji knew more about the negative aspects of Samuster than most people. When he heard that Jiang Lai was going to this guy's research institute, he frowned slightly and smiled, "Hey, Jiang Lai, are you going alone? Otherwise, I'll take a leave to accompany you?"
"No, no, Officer Hagiwara's job is of course more important. The peace of Mika can't be separated from you." Jiang Lai smiled and waved his hands, "I'm in much better shape now. I'm not completely unable to take care of myself. And Amuro will be with me this time."
"Amuro is going too..." Hagiwara Kenji was slightly stunned, but when he heard that Amuro Toru was there, he felt relieved. "That's good. Then, do you need me to help you take care of Kurosawa during this period of time?"
"No, he kept pestering me and said he wanted to go too." Jiang Lai showed a helpless look, "As for the kids - if Natsume and Kuroko come to play with him, please let us know and we will be back in a while."
In fact, it was mainly the decision of the second personality Hui Zhao to go together. He has appeared from time to time since Samuster's visit to the patient.
In fact, Jiang Lai already had a guess about Kurosawa Akira's main personality, but he still habitually called Kurosawa Akira his second personality.
The emergence and existence of the second personality also made Jiang Lai feel a lot more at ease. He knew that with the other person's existence, he should not encounter any danger.
"Okay. Then I wish you a safe journey. The most important thing is - come back safely and healthy." Hagiwara Kenji's purple eyes were filled with blessings. He waved goodbye and watched Jiang Lai's figure go away.
The half-long-haired man stood there for a moment, then took out his cell phone and sent a message to Amuro Toru:
[Be careful on the road. Also, I'll leave Xiao Jianglai in your care~]
Toru Amuro, who had just taken a leave at the cafe: "..." Does the other person really need me to take care of him?
Although the black-haired young man appeared to be weak and unprepared, he was always at ease and unhurried. It was hard to say whether he really didn't know Samuster's true face or was confident enough in himself - of course, it was probably the latter.
——Actually, Toru Amuro’s trip this time was three parts protection and seven parts testing.
However, Amuro Toru knew that his friend's filter (?) was inexplicably very thick, so he didn't say much, but just typed in a reply of "OK" to reassure the other party.
Hagiwara Kenji quickly sent another message: [If you encounter any danger, be sure to call the police immediately. Jiang Lai's body has not recovered yet, you may need to protect him a little longer, but he is also very reliable~]
Toru Amuro (pupils slightly constricted, fake smile mask.jpg): My good man, what on earth did Jiang Lai do to make your filter so thick... I want to take a good look this time.
Toru Amuro, his vigilance, tentativeness and curiosity continue to increase.
Jiang Lai, who knew nothing about this and was still cheerful (cat making a fist.jpg): This time I must get it done, not only to cure the hand, but also to successfully revive Jingguang!
Morobushi Kagemitsu (laughing): The most important thing is to pay attention to safety.
It was not surprising that the medical research institute was not in Tokyo. Jiang Lai himself guessed that the location of the institute would be relatively remote, after all, there would be some things in it that the law and the public could not accept.
But he didn't expect that he would have to go out to sea.
"The research institute... is it abroad?" Jiang Lai was a little shocked. He looked at the endless sea and even thought that maybe an X-rated plot like "gouging out eyes and sinking into the sea" was going to happen.
The sea breeze blew up the long golden hair of the person next to him. The elegant gentleman put one hand on the railing, glanced sideways and smiled: "There are indeed some abroad. But if you go abroad, the means of transportation you choose will be a private jet, not a yacht."
"After all, time is of the essence." Amuro Toru next to him wore his usual sociable smile, "I guess the destination is probably a small island nearby."
"Yes." Samust nodded and said leisurely, "In order to create the best research environment and ensure its purity, I bought an island as the location for the research institute."
Jiang Lai: Wow...it's an incredible money ability!
Although the price of buying an island varies, you may just happen to buy it at a bargain price at an auction. However, the subsequent tax payments, island construction, water and electricity supply, etc. are also a constant source of money-eating beasts.
Morobushi Jingguang was not surprised: "For this guy, the private island is a very safe place."
"..." The silver-haired boy didn't react. It was unknown whether he was too young to understand these things or he simply didn't want to listen to what the adults were saying. He just let Jiang Lai hold him and lay on the railing to watch the sea.
Amuro Toru nodded with a smile: "Yes, that's right. The disturbance caused by yachts docking is indeed less than that caused by airplanes."
Jiang Lai suddenly remembered an important point: "If it's a small island in the sea, can the phone signal be covered?"
"In order to reduce interference with the experiment, the signal may be blocked during certain stages of the experiment." Samust adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses. "But don't worry. If you need to contact me urgently during the signal blocking period, you can come to me."
The blond perverted gentleman had a faint smile on his face, as if he was the ruler of some hidden world.
Jiang Lai: "..." To be honest, if there is an urgent need to contact someone, it must be related to you! How could I possibly go to you?
However, Jiang Lai also had some understanding of the situation on the island. It seemed that Samuster had the absolute management rights of the island. This time when he went to the island, he really went to the opponent's base camp.
Jiang Lai let out a breath in his heart, reminding himself to be extra careful.
Amuro Toru was also able to roughly analyze the situation, and his hand on the railing was naturally relaxed. The thoughts in his mind were never exposed on the surface, and vigilance and coldness were hidden in his curved purple-gray eyes.
The sea breeze, with a hint of salt and moisture, blew across their cheeks. The silver-haired boy gently pulled Jiang Lai's sleeve and asked him to lower his eyes.
Jiang Lai looked at the rippling blue sea, as if some kind of magic soothed the anxiety in his heart, and his soul slowly calmed down.
——When enemies come, we will stop them; when floods come, we will cover them with earth, and everything will be fine.
The sun was scorching hot on the sea, and it was not suitable to stay on the deck at noon. Summerst invited them to have lunch inside, and after lunch they all returned to their rooms to rest.
The first thing Jiang Lai did when he returned to the room was to check for eavesdropping devices and surveillance cameras. Although it sounded very perverted to install these in a rest room, Jiang Lai felt that there was nothing wrong with Summerst doing this.
After checking and confirming safety, Jiang Lai turned on his mobile phone. The signal at sea was very weak, so he tried to send a location message to Matsuda Jinpei.
Matsuda Jinpei replied within a few minutes: [Where are you going? ]
[It is said that it is an island purchased by Samuster.] Jiang Lai replied while typing.
[……? ]
[…The map shows no islands nearby.]
...Huh? Jiang Lai was slightly stunned.
After a brief silence, the other party sent another message: [It is possible that the other party has modified and erased the existence of this island on the map in some way... In short, be careful. If you reach the destination, send me the location again. ]
[Okay.] Jiang Lai replied immediately, hesitated for a few seconds and sent another message, [But I may not be able to contact you. If possible, I will send the location.]
After all, we don't know to what extent the signal shielding on the island will be, it seems really difficult to deal with. Jiang Lai put away his phone, and his expression was not relaxed.
Kurosawa Akira beside him tilted his head slightly, his grey eyes appearing transparent under the light in the room: "What's wrong, Brother Jiang Lai?"
"Ah... It feels a bit troublesome." Jiang Lai scratched his head and said with a smile, "But I have to face it head on."
The silver-haired boy remained calm: "It'll be fine."
"Haha, after all, our combat power is pretty strong here." Jiang Lai raised the corners of his lips, frowned slightly in distress, and said, "I'm just worried that this guy will use some shady tricks... well, it's hard to guard against it, it's really troublesome."
"..." Kurosawa Akira tilted his head and blinked gently, "So, what do you want?"
"Huh?" Jiang Lai was stunned, as if he had not expected Kurosawa Akira to ask this question. "This time it's probably about treatment and deepening Amuro Toru's impression of him." Of course there is also the progress of resurrection, but Jiang Lai didn't know how to explain it to the other party, so he didn't mention it.
"Not this time." The silver-haired boy took a few steps closer, raised his head, and said in a childish and calm voice, "Brother Jiang Lai, who always takes the initiative to get involved in danger... What do you want in the end?"
The face of the black-haired young man was reflected in his grey eyes.
"..." Jiang Lai opened his mouth, but it felt difficult to explain. Many things could only float in his mind and he couldn't tell them.
So in the end, he curled his brows and half-jokingly said, "Haha, from the current perspective, I think I'll probably become the boss of the organization."
"Really?" Kurosawa Akira tilted his head, his gray eyes staring at Jiang Lai, and then slowly revealed a brilliant smile, "Then...whatever you want, we will make it happen."
