Jiang Lai was slightly stunned when he heard Kurosawa Akira's reply. He looked at the calm gray eyes of the silver-haired boy. He had too many things to say at once, so much so that he didn't know what to say at the moment when the words came out.
However, the other party had no intention of chatting with him anymore, and just nodded and said, "Good afternoon."
Then, within a breath, another personality with dark green eyes emerged.
"Brother Jiang Lai, aren't you going to take a nap?" Kurosawa Akira blinked his eyes and jumped onto the big bed first. "I want the one by the window~"
"..." Jiang Lai paused, then smiled, "Okay, good afternoon, Xiao Zhao~"
Children always fall asleep very quickly. The sunlight from the window shines through the glass and shines on the silver-haired boy, making him feel warm and cozy, like a white cat curled up and taking a nap on the windowsill in the afternoon.
Jiang Lai carefully tidied up the things in the room, then made his bed. When he was about to go to sleep, he caught a glimpse of a figure passing by.
——It is the scenery of Zhufu.
The soul body's hidden scene light passed through the wall. He just went to the yacht for a walk, paying special attention to see if there was anything wrong. Now he came back.
"How is it?" Jiang Lai asked in a low voice.
"This yacht must have been modified, so it can sail faster than normal," Morobushi Jingguang replied, "I just went to the control room and looked at the speed on the display."
"Ah, in that case... if we haven't reached our destination in this morning, that means that island is farther away?"
"That's probably it." Morobushi Kagemitsu nodded, "And Zero has also noticed this problem. He also has his own records of locations and data."
"I think they plan to contact the Japanese public security department to deal with these things later." Jiang Lai shrugged. "After all, this is an illegal operation on Japanese soil. Although the Summerst family has people in all walks of life, if we collect enough evidence, we can almost wipe out this base."
"That's right." Zhu Fu Jingguang nodded.
It seems that Toru Amuro is even busier than himself. He has to guard against Samuster, protect himself, pay attention to the news about Morobushi Kagemitsu, and collect information about this hidden research institute - he is worthy of being the working emperor!
Jiang Lai, I stand in awe (?)
Samuster didn't know that Amuro Toru was a member of the Japanese Public Security Bureau, and the organization itself also cooperated and controlled him, so he didn't worry about what would happen if he invited the organization members to the island. Or, this guy was very confident in himself. Jiang Lai's eyes darkened. Confident that he could keep them.
Maybe I can consider helping to take down this research institute, Jiang Lai thought. It would be best if we could get rid of this pervert and send him to prison.
With thoughts running through his mind, Jiang Lai lay on the bed, ready to take a nap and gather enough energy to deal with events after getting off the ship.
When the yacht just docked, Jiang Lai sent the location to Matsuda Jinpei, but the message kept going in circles and could not be sent.
As expected. Jiang Lai put away his phone. It seemed that the shielding coverage on this island was quite large.
Fortunately, Jiang Lai had programmed an automatic program on his phone when he was on the boat, which would send Matsuda Jinpei's location every 10 minutes. Therefore, the other party could infer based on his own location and extend it to the surrounding areas. If something happened on his side at that time, he should be able to find him.
Next we will go ashore.
Jiang Lai walked out of the room holding Kurosawa Akira's hand. Samuster, dressed in formal attire, was already waiting outside. Amuro Toru was also standing there, but keeping a safe distance from Samuster.
"Let's go, my guests." The gentleman with blond hair in a low ponytail smiled and gestured, "We're here, let's get off the boat."
The island seemed to be quite large, with a high altitude at the edge, so even if ships docked, it was difficult to land. Samuster's yacht had already prepared an electric escalator for climbing, and they walked up the ladder into the mysterious island.
There are many lush trees planted around the island, layer upon layer, blocking the view. If the high edge altitude is the first layer of protection and disguise, then these lush green plants are the second layer.
At least from the outside, there is no way to tell that there is a top-notch research institute hidden on this small island.
"Be careful, please follow me, and don't touch anything on the island casually." Samuster tilted his head slightly, with a smile in his gray-green eyes, and kindly reminded, "Because some plants are poisonous. In addition, there are some defense agencies lying in ambush."
Jiang Lai: “…” My goodness, it’s really wrapped up very tightly.
He held the hand of Kurosawa Akira, who now had dark green eyes, tightly and asked the silver-haired boy to get closer to him to avoid touching anything accidentally.
Amuro Toru still had a smile on his face. He had one hand in his pocket, and it was unclear whether there was a gun or a recording device in it.
"Although there is a way to treat poisoning, but..." Samuste adjusted his tie, "It's better to follow the advice and reduce the pain, right?"
The perverted gentleman with blond hair in a low ponytail did not tilt his head very much when he said this. His gold-rimmed glasses reflected the light slightly, so that only the corners of his lips could be seen clearly.
“……“Are you making a pun?
Jiang Lai was too lazy to think about what this guy was threatening or hinting at, he just wanted to say "No mystery tellers allowed!"
Amuro Toru narrowed his purple-gray eyes, and a cold aura emerged for a moment, but was quickly hidden behind his fake smile: "...Indeed." He nodded and replied.
Morobushi Jingguang, who was floating around, came back and said his guess: "I saw the mechanism, most of them are sensor-based, but there seems to be remote control. In short, don't get close, lest the other party deliberately turn on the mechanism."
Jiang Lai certainly understood in his heart.
He would not give the other party any chance of "accidental death".
Following the guidance of Samuster and his bodyguards, they walked through the forest and soon arrived at the location of the research institute. From a distance, they could see the silhouette of a silver-white building, and its unique design and appearance looked grand and profound.
After entering, there was a yard. Jiang Lai noticed that different animals were kept in standard square fences. Kurosawa Akira was a child and was instinctively interested in furry things. He let go of Jiang Lai's hand and looked into the fence closest to him.
Jiang Lai followed his gaze and saw a group of white rabbits inside, with syringes placed on the shelves next to them. The fence only had a water hole, but no feeding hole.
Perhaps noticing Jiang Lai's slightly puzzled look, Samuster stopped and explained with a smile, "These are rabbits for experiments. The institute's current research requires a large number of these creatures, so we specially raised a group of them and placed them as close to the laboratory as possible."
Amuro Toru noticed the syringes and asked with a standard smile, "Are these syringes used for drug injections? I thought this would be done inside the laboratory."
"Yes, the experiment is of course carried out inside." Samuster nodded and smiled, "These syringes are used to inject nutrients, which is daily feeding."
"Why don't you just feed them leaves and carrots?" Kurosawa Akira blinked his dark green eyes and asked with his head tilted, "Wouldn't it be more convenient this way?"
"Oh... because these little rabbits don't have teeth." Samuster said slowly. He explained to the child gently, but the gray-green color behind his glasses was mixed with a somewhat cold smile.
"Although they are herbivorous animals, they are still aggressive. So we specially bred a group of rabbits without claws for experimental use."
"......!" Jiang Lai was slightly stunned.
Do we have to remove all defenses even for a harmless animal like a rabbit?
They have no teeth, cannot eat naturally, and can only survive through nutrients. They live in this enclosure, and the meaning of their lives from beginning to end is just to serve the experiment.
"..."Amuro Toru's golden hair hung down in front of his forehead, and he did not express any of his opinions.
"Eh? A rabbit without teeth——" It seemed a little hard for a child to accept. Kurosawa Akira wrinkled his face, wanting to say something but not knowing how to organize the words.
Samuster continued to talk leisurely: "Actually, this is a good thing for them. Without claws and fangs, they will not bring threats or pain to researchers, so researchers can focus on the experiment and be more gentle to them."
"So the little rabbits will be very happy too~" Summer patted Kurosawa Akira on the head and said to him with a smile.
No. Jiang Lai's mind was clear.
The gentle treatment obtained because of being weak enough is only a superficial and unstable appearance, which will fluctuate with the mood of the leader. If the researcher is in a bad mood, this disguise will be torn off at any time.
Since it no longer has any ability to defend itself, there is no need to worry about how you treat it.
Jiang Lai lowered his eyes.
You should never let down your guard or weapons at any time; only sufficient strength can provide real protection.
Kurosawa Akira seemed not used to Samuster patting him on the head, so he took a step back to Jiang Lai's side. Jiang Lai naturally took the silver-haired boy's hand and said, "Don't let go again."
It's too dangerous here.
"Okay." Kurosawa Akira held Jiang Lai's fingers with his small hand.
Samust stood up and invited everyone to go inside. "Your rooms have been arranged, but they are all single rooms. So although Mr. Jiang Lai can sleep in the same bed with Mr. Kurosawa, Mr. Amuro cannot be arranged in the same room. Instead, he will be arranged next to you."
"It's okay, just come closer." Jiang Lai nodded in response.
He himself did not intend to stay in the same room with Amuro Toru, as it would be inconvenient for him to communicate with the soul body of Morofushi Kagemitsu.
"If you need anything, you can knock on my door anytime, Jiang Lai." When Toru Amuro smiled with his droopy eyes, it had a very friendly effect, like some kind of honey, but with a layer of film between them.
"Okay~ sorry to bother you in advance." Jiang Lai said politely.
"As for the treatment issue, we can start tomorrow once all the researchers are in place." Samuster continued speaking slowly, tucking a strand of his blond hair behind his ear. "Of course, if the equipment inspection is completed quickly, we may notify you to go to the laboratory tonight."
"After all, a physical examination is always required before treatment." The blond gentleman smiled, "Only by mastering the basic data can we achieve the maximum effect."
