Chapter 104
Seiryoshi Kono decided to ignore the topic of whether Gin was arrogant for the time being.
The controller is just a symbol. After all, only a handful of people know the identity of the boss, let alone get the honor of "talking to that gentleman in person." Instead of using this thing to give orders to Rum or Bermode, Gin might as well carry a sniper rifle and kill people.
What's more, he has a backup of the controller and he's not dead yet. Given Gin's extraordinary vigilance, he shouldn't be so impatient to usurp power in advance.
He was busy from morning to night, especially the confrontation just now was too exhausting. In the empty room, Kono Seiryoshi yawned, and a bit of fatigue appeared on his face.
Thinking of going home early to catch up on some sleep, he poured himself a cup of black tea to moisten his throat, but the moment the tea entered his mouth, he choked unexpectedly.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
What happened? Was the vodka poisoned in the black tea?
Light Ball: [No, I don't think that's the reason. Contractor, please don't move.]
The first time is new, the second time is familiar. When the physical concept appeared again, his eyes went dark. Gongye Shengliang pressed his temples and muttered with a headache: "This is bad..."
He couldn't see again, but the light in the room was still on.
The last time the trigger was a sudden change in light, this time could it be because of internal injuries from hitting the wall?
Any bumps and stumbles would have noticeable consequences on such a fragile body, not to mention that Gin showed no mercy when he pushed him against the wall.
Thinking of this, I felt a sharp pain in my back.
He had two options: one was to spend the blindness period in an unfamiliar base, and the other was to leave as soon as possible before his condition worsened.
He did bring some medicine with him this time, but this precious magic medicine needed to be kept in a constant temperature box, and the box was stored in the underground garage.
After thinking for a moment, Kono Seiryoshi closed his eyes and made up his mind. He quickly adjusted the pain back to normal with his hands, which was faster than the system could react. The moment the pain returned, he arched his back and tears immediately burst out of his eyes.
It hurts, it hurts so much. If he stays here and does nothing, judging by the extent of his injuries, he will probably be blind forever.
He took a deep breath and adjusted the pain level to the lowest setting again. After his hands and feet regained some feeling, he slowly stood up and followed his memory to find the key switch on the wall.
I pressed the switch, but there was no click when it unlocked.
"……?"
He had a bad feeling in his heart, but he still pressed it twice without giving up.
Now, even the sound of the switch cannot be heard.
“…”
Light Ball Qiqi Aiai: [Um, I can hear it too...]
It's broken.
Kono Seiryoshi was very calm: "Okay, I understand, so it means that there are not many senses that can be used, right?"
The light ball nodded reluctantly.
Seiryoshi Kono: “…” Is it too late for him to call Gin back to help collect the body?
After a dozen seconds of silence, he sighed and actively increased his pain sensitivity.
Pain within the normal range can cause a defensive response and has a protective effect, which is why the system sets 10% as the limit.
But since the system has opened up the adjustment rights, the purpose is to prevent the fragile □□ from becoming a stumbling block to the contractor's mission.
Now, Gongye Shengliang, who has unfortunately become deaf and blind, has no choice but to rely on pain stimulation to obtain information.
It makes him seem like a pervert who is both a sadist and a masochist... he complained in his heart.
The mood to complain was quickly interrupted. The spine is the hardest hit area, and the nerve fibers are numerous and sensitive. Kono Seiryoshi chose a value that he thought he could bear, but it still hurt so much that his chest felt stuffy, and his legs went limp and he fell to the carpet.
His heartbeat quickened, and to avoid pulling on the wound, he could only hold his chest down, take small breaths, and then slowly adjust the number.
He was so focused on what he was doing and his senses were so dim that he didn't even notice the other people entering the room.
It was not until his shoulder, which had just been grabbed hard, suddenly felt a pain that Gongye Shengliang was startled and his eyes widened instantly.
Before the pain subsided, a feather-light touch brushed across his cheek.
The approaching breath was so familiar that he subconsciously let down his guard. Gongye Shengliang blurted out without thinking: "Scotland, is that you...?"
——The gentle touch suddenly disappeared.
--
Fūya Rei has been keeping an eye on the whereabouts of the holy wine, even resorting to the use of public security means to investigate and monitor.
He saw the other party's car driving out of the research institute, leaving the surveillance range and slowly driving into the base.
The internal structure of the base was complex, and most places had restricted access. By the time he found this room, Gin had already left.
Before Rei Furutani had time to look around, he suddenly saw the door lock being opened from the inside. He reacted very quickly and took a few steps away, but the person inside did not come out for a long time.
He knew who was inside, prepared for the worst, and pushed the door open almost silently.
The calm and scrutinizing gaze suddenly paused and remained fixed in deep concentration.
Shengjiu's thin figure huddled against the wall, shivering as if from the extreme cold.
The young man was completely unaware of his arrival. He bit his lips as if he was trying hard to endure something. He was unaware of the blood stains on his lips. His eyelashes trembled violently, like a butterfly trapped in a glass bottle struggling desperately.
...What did Gin do to him?
He suppressed the rage surging in his chest, and when he came to his senses, Furugaya Rei was already half-kneeling in front of him, reaching out his hand towards that familiar yet unfamiliar profile.
He knew that it was a disguise and that with just a little effort, his true appearance would be revealed.
Just a hair's breadth away, his fingertips almost stopped, his voice stiffened: "Vin, can you hear me?"
The abnormality shown by the holy wine was too obvious, and it was difficult for him to pretend that nothing had happened.
I don't know if the young man heard it or not. He did turn his head, but his expression was blank. His eyes, washed by tears, were clear but lifeless, and looked even darker in the shadows.
At that moment, Rei Furutani felt as if he had returned to that night in the bar, with the discordant and intermittent apologies echoing in his ears.
The self-doubts of the past few days suddenly burst forth, and he could hardly control himself from repeating the questions he had asked that night. His fingers trembled, but in the end they only gently fell on the young man's hair.
Holy Wine looked at him with misty eyes and opened her mouth:
"Scotland, is that you?"
Fūya Rei suddenly froze.
…
The sound entering the eardrum was as faint as the buzz of a mosquito. It was only after asking that Kono Seiryoshi remembered that he still had the system map, and he opened it despite the pain.
The next second, he was silent.
...If anyone could turn back time, he would shut his mouth.
The ball of light that didn't stop him also fell silent, and slowly gave a thumbs-up with its wings - Contractor, you are amazing.
He gave the wrong answer without hesitation when choosing between the two options. Why didn't he ask if Gin had returned?
It glanced at Bourbon's attributes with fear and trepidation, feeling both happy and worried. It was happy that the hostility value was not particularly high, but it was worried that the darkening value had risen rapidly because of what had just happened.
Gongye Shengliang didn't care about the pain anymore. He just wanted to find a gap to squeeze into and escape from this awkward atmosphere.
Because he had been traveling with Scotland these days, and Morofushi Jingguang had seen him suffering from night blindness, he thought of him first.
It sounds like a feeble excuse, but it is true.
...Konno Seiryoshi thought with tears in his eyes, is it too late for him to say now, "Haha, I'm just kidding, how could I not recognize you, Bourbon"?
