Samuster rubbed his temples, feeling a slight headache, and lowered his eyes to catch a glimpse of the little boy blinking his eyes.
...What were they talking about just now? He was briefly blank for a moment.
"Mr. Samuster, why don't you say anything?" Kurosawa Akira said in a childish voice, "You were just talking to me about the instructions for the medicines you were going to take this time."
"Ah, let's talk to Mr. Jiang Lai directly later." Samuster smiled, as if he connected everything together.
The perverted gentleman looked at Jiang Lai's back from afar. On the surface, he was just an ordinary young man, but he knew his true identity hidden under that shell.
A great man who hides himself in the city. Samuster had his usual elegant smile on his face. I'm afraid no one could have guessed that the boss of the organization was actually him who was wandering around freely.
The perverted gentleman walked back with Kurosawa Akira, holding the medicine he had found. Jiang Lai caught a glimpse of the approaching figure from the corner of his eye. The operating instrument had stopped at this moment, so he pulled out his hand and shook it tentatively.
"How do you feel?" Samuster walked up to him.
"Well, it's okay." Jiang Lai nodded while maintaining a calm image, looking at the medicine bottle in his hand and glancing at Kurosawa Akira.
——Why did Kurosawa Akira go to see Summerstuff just now?
The silver-haired boy's gray eyes were very calm, and Jiang Lai couldn't tell what he was thinking.
"This is a treatment medicine." Samuster handed over the bottle, "Take it twice a day, one tablet in the morning and one in the evening."
"Okay." Jiang Lai took the medicine bottle and shook it gently in his hand. "Well...thank you very much."
"My honor." Summerst smiled.
Toru Amuro next to him raised his eyebrows slightly. Although it was obvious that Summerst called Jiang Lai here for treatment in the name of helping the Beika Hero, he would not respond with "It's my honor".
So is Jiang Lai's identity really...
There was still a standard curve on the corner of Amuro Toru's mouth, and he gathered his thoughts.
Jiang Lai was still thinking about Morobushi Kagemitsu. He hadn't come for such a long time - could it be that he had just permanently materialized, that is, resurrected?
After thinking it over, Jiang Lai put away the medicine bottle and said, "Excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom."
——The restroom, a versatile excuse to sneak out! (Like from frequent user Conan.jpg)
After arriving at the institute, Jiang Lai has been trying to hack into the system (his hands hurt, but he endured it). He did not expose himself to a large extent, but only intervened temporarily in the surveillance video.
At this moment, Jiang Lai took out his mobile phone and replaced the surveillance video around the laboratory where the explosion occurred, so as to avoid being discovered by the sudden appearance of Zhu Fu Jingguang.
Then he turned the corner and arrived there—researchers dressed head-to-toe in silver uniforms that looked like medical protective suits were cleaning up the scene.
“……” Nothing should have happened.
Jiang Lai began to feel worried when he saw a man in a researcher's uniform walking towards him.
He had already made up an excuse for coming here in his mind, but before he could open his mouth, he saw the familiar pair of blue-gray upturned eyes through the transparent goggles.
The man said, "Hello, sir, there is a chemical leak here, please don't go near."
While saying this, the man winked at Jiang Lai.
——It is the scenery of Zhufu.
Of course Jiang Lai recognized it.
So he smiled and responded, "Okay, but I'm sorry, I'm a little lost. Could you please show me the way?"
"Yes, sir."
The two left the scene and walked to a relatively remote corner. Jiang Lai still reviewed the surveillance video first.
Morobushi Kagemitsu spoke first: "Just now, after I partially materialized and finished applying the medicine and my soul body escaped the explosion, I suddenly felt something strange - and then I noticed that the mark on my palm was fading."
"I roughly guessed that I would be resurrected in a physical form." Zhu Fu Jingguang sighed and then smiled, "So I went to the spare clothing room in advance, and put on this outfit the first thing I did after resurrection."
"It just so happens that most people are wearing this protective suit that covers the entire body, so I am perfectly hidden inside it." Zhu Fu Jingguang spread his hands and said.
"Wow, now you are really resurrected, congratulations!" Jiang Lai said with a smile.
"So what should I do next?" Zhu Fu Jingguang said with a smile, "Do I need to hide or show it?"
"Hmm..." Jiang Lai thought for a moment, "Real hiding doesn't seem to be very convenient. In this case, let's pretend on the surface, but hide it in the heart of the heart - just for the sake of simplicity."
Jiang Lai came back a little late. Amuro Toru was calculating the time in his mind. He watched the black-haired figure walking back from a distance, and there was a tightly wrapped researcher diagonally in front of him.
"I'm sorry, I'm a little lost." Jiang Lai showed an innocent smile, and regardless of whether they believed it or not, he continued, "Thank you, sir, for helping me find the way and bringing me back."
Samuster and Amuro Toru's eyes shifted to that person, while Kurosawa Akira only glanced at him and then looked away, his expression calm.
The man was covered in protective clothing from head to toe, so his appearance could not be seen clearly. At this moment, he raised his head, and behind the goggles, there was a pair of calm blue-gray eyes that were raised.
Toru Amuro: "——!!"
As if he was suddenly hit by something, Toru Amuro's brain went blank for a moment!
Samuster paused. He knew his own researchers well and was sure that no one among them had eyes like his.
The blond perverted gentleman looked at Jiang Lai and saw a faint smile in those brown eyes.
——Since the other party was able to sneak into his laboratory and collection room quietly, it seems possible that he could bring someone to the island. Samuster's lips curled up. After all, he was...
However, it seemed that Jiang Lai had no intention of exposing the other party, so Samust cooperated and said, "Oh, is that so? Well, thank you for your hard work." He turned to the man in protective clothing and said, "You don't have to go to the laboratory for the time being. Just accompany our Mr. Jiang Lai from now on."
Morobushi Kagemitsu, who was wearing a protective suit, nodded but did not speak.
"As for the protective suit..." Samuster only said the first half of the sentence, and his eyes glanced at Jiang Lai on the side.
Jiang Lai smiled and said, "Since the treatment is complete, please send us back as soon as possible, Mr. Samuel."
Samuster naturally added the second half of the sentence: "Okay, then you take the things in the room and we will set off now - you don't need to take off your protective suit yet, time is limited, just get on the boat with us."
He sensed that Jiang Lai had no immediate intention of exposing this man completely to the public, so he continued speaking in accordance with Jiang Lai's meaning.
Toru Amuro next to him remained silent. He tried his best to restrain all inappropriate emotions and expressions. He just stared at the tightly wrapped figure with complex purple-gray eyes.
Morofushi Kagemitsu looked through his goggles, blinked gently, and looked at his former childhood friend from a distance.
On the yacht.
As soon as he left the island, Jiang Lai sent a message to Matsuda Jinpei to report that he was safe, asking him not to worry about him and not to come looking for him.
Then he sent a message to Kenji Hagiwara, telling him that he would be back today.
Then he said to Zhu Fu Jingguang who had already taken off his protective suit in the room: "Will you quietly get off the boat later? I will attract Samuster's attention in front, and you can sneak away by yourself in the back."
"Okay." Zhu Fujingguang, who was wearing a mask, nodded.
Although Samuster saw Morobushi Kagemitsu's eyes, he still didn't know the full picture of this person and his relationship with Amuro Toru. So Jiang Lai didn't want Amuro Toru to see Morobushi Kagemitsu more often, so as to avoid Samuster seeing something.
We can discuss the contact issue after we get off the boat.
Kurosawa Akira tilted his head and watched the two of them chatting. He yawned, seemed a little sleepy, and went to sleep hugging the quilt.
Jiang Lai tucked the quilt for the silver-haired boy, raised his head and asked in a concerned voice: "By the way, how is your hand, Jingguang?"
"Hmm... a little uncomfortable."
It seems that he is really affected by the reasonable plot. Jiang Lai thought to himself and took out the medicine bottle from his pocket: "Here, this is probably the medicine for treatment. Two tablets a day, one in the morning and one in the evening."
"…from Samuster?" Zhu Fujingguang took it and stared at the white medicine bottle.
"Yes. But don't worry, he won't do anything for the time being." Jiang Lai blinked and laughed, "At least he has been frightened for now."
"Okay." Zhu Fu Jingguang put it away.
Then he turned around and looked at the black-haired young man in front of him, softened his brows, and said gently but firmly: "Thank you, Jiang Lai... You have worked hard all along."
He witnessed the young man's growth process and knew how much he had paid and how many dangers he had experienced to get from his peaceful daily life to where he is today.
Zhu Fu Jingguang's blue-gray eyes were like an endless sea, broad, deep, and sparkling.
"Wow, we are so distant!" Jiang Lai said jokingly, "I'm still waiting to eat the rice balls you made yourself!"
Zhu Fu Jingguang smiled and said, "I'll make it for you when I get back."
"Great!" Jiang Lai cheered, "Save some rice balls for Furuya then... maybe I should leave some time for you to communicate?"
"Okay." Morobushi Jingguang smiled. He recalled the other person's eyes that contained silent words before they boarded the ship, and his heart was slightly moved. "I haven't talked to Zero for a long time."
"Remember to help me clarify my identity." Jiang Lai reminded with his hands clasped together.
"Haha, of course." Zhu Fujingguang laughed, "We all know your true feelings."
the other side.
Amuro Toru's mind was filled with the pair of blue-gray eyes that he couldn't get rid of. He used all his willpower to not go forward and grab the man and lift up his protective suit.
Reason told him to stay calm, be patient and be vigilant.
As long as the other person is still alive, there will always be a chance for them to meet again. Amuro Toru told himself this in his heart. And... at least he knew that Jiang Lai was standing at the key node.
What is Jiang Lai's identity... Amuro Toru felt that his guess that night was too absurd, but there was some vague possibility.
Everything is as hazy as fog, and the only thing that can be confirmed is that the other party is a dangerous and mysterious character.
As he was thinking this, he noticed the incoming message on his phone.
Amuro Toru looked down.
[Xiao Jianglai said you guys are coming back soon. Thank you for taking care of me these days~
Although Xiao Jianglai said that he had fully recovered, it probably wouldn't happen that quickly - he was always like this, afraid of worrying others so he didn't tell the truth.
I'm working on a case here and can't ask for leave, otherwise... Xiao Jiangu, can you drive him there? 】
Toru Amuro: “…” Who takes care of whom, who needs me to take care of him, and who needs me to take care of him.
Hagiwara, is the person you are talking about and the one I know really the same person!?
