Chapter 114 Ending 1

It was raining outside, but luckily it wasn't too heavy. A temporary umbrella stand was placed at the entrance of the cafe, and it was open as usual.

Miyano Shiho seemed to be a regular customer of this restaurant. As soon as she arrived, she ran straight to the seat by the window in the corner and found a beautiful blue-eyed cat under the foot of the table.

Hanako skillfully jumped onto the soft cushion beside her, stretched her body, and lowered her head to rub her leather handbag.

What he said that day about wanting to get a cat and a dog was just an angry remark. Miyano Shiho knew very well in her heart that a person who lives under surveillance is not qualified to have a pet.

She reached out and stroked the white cat's chin, and asked softly, "Why aren't you going home so late? Don't you want to see the face of that curly-haired man?"

"Well, he really doesn't look like a good person. I wonder why he... Never mind, let's eat something first."

I don't know if the white cat understood or not, but it meowed twice happily.

By the end of the meal, most of the customers in the restaurant had left. Miyano Shiho looked at her watch and the hour hand had passed eight.

The business hours are long on weekends, and there is still an hour before closing. The white cat is still lying on her lap, wagging its tail. Looking out the window, there is no one passing by.

Leaving your pet outside alone in the middle of the night, maybe without even feeding it cat food, how can you be a good owner?

Miyano Shiho gently stroked the cat's fur, and her prejudice against the curly-haired man named Matsuda deepened.

Just as she was thinking about whether she should stay with Hanako a little longer, a figure suddenly and silently fell in front of her.

It was Zhihui. Zhihui never disturbed her during work, and this was the first time she showed up while she was having a meal.

Sensing that the topic would not be a light one from the other person's pale face, Miyano Shiho was stunned for a second and asked in a serious tone, "What happened?"

Zhihui shook her head slightly, with a look of struggle in her eyes, "...I think you should go see the master now."

…

…

Far out in the suburbs, away from the main roads, sits an Edwardian mansion that has served as the Organization's intelligence house for nearly twenty years.

With the commercial development in the suburbs in recent years, the limitations and disadvantages of the mansion have become increasingly apparent. It was auctioned off along with the land at the end of last year and was finally purchased by an anonymous buyer for a period of 50 years.

Gongye Shengliang originally wanted to find a house suitable for being alone, but after taking the photo, he found that the land here was relatively high. When he looked out from the fence outside the lawn, he could just see the long-abandoned driveway at the foot of the mountain.

Because of the auction, the furniture in the villa had been moved out long ago, and the electricity had been cut off for a long time, leaving the villa to fend for itself. There was no one around the villa area, and in the dead of night, even the birds seemed to have drowned in a cold pond, making only muffled sounds.

He was not used to this kind of environment and had trouble falling asleep all night. He fell asleep in a trance, but was quickly awakened.

It was not until I returned from Huanghun Villa that I realized that fear can also be nostalgic.

Many animals with keen senses can sense their own death in advance. In order to avoid their decaying bodies becoming a source of infection for germs, and also for fear of becoming food for their natural enemies, they will choose to leave the group in silence.

It would be difficult for him to do these things just by relying on his useless and dull five senses, even if he had a premonition.

Listening to the sound of rain falling on the roof of the pavilion, Gongye Shengliang stared at the countdown of the system in the void that was invisible to others, with his hand resting pretentiously on the armrest of the swing.

The system uses the highest level of current world technology to accurately predict the time when the pulse stops to the minute.

The remaining time was enough for him to wait until sunrise the next day, but Kono Seiryoshi decided to give up those few extra hours.

The best sunrise he had ever seen.

He caught the sound of a car horn and was more than half a beat slower in looking in the direction of the sound.

Kono Seiryoshi saw two black umbrellas moving one after the other, and finally one stopped in front of the gate while the other continued to move forward. Under the light of the courtyard, he could see the pretty face of the brown-haired girl tense, exuding the low pressure of the research institute where no strangers were allowed to enter, and when she turned her head, a trace of confusion appeared in her eyes.

The confusion eased when I saw him, but was immediately covered by more tension.

"I've been thinking for a long time but still can't find a replacement." Kono Seiryoshi seemed not to notice her confusion and sighed softly, "I can only trouble you. Sorry."

Recovering discarded experimental subjects, destroying genetic residues, clearing research data...these can only be handed over to Shirley, who is also a researcher.

Gin is a professional killer, but not a qualified scavenger, which is completely opposite to his style. Kono Seira tried to remind him, but Gin seemed to have misunderstood his meaning and his methods went to another more brutal extreme.

"I have done most of what I can do myself, but there are bound to be mistakes. I am transferring the authority to you. From now on, you can move freely in the base, except for the confinement room."

"But all this is for the future. Calling you here today is actually a very simple task."

Kono Seiryoshi stretched out his hand toward the girl with his palm flat.

The remote control device, which is about the size of an old mobile phone, is completely black and placed in the snow-white palm. There is a blank input box on the unlocked screen.

"After leaving here, enter the password and press the switch."

Miyano Shiho opened her lips, but could only hear her own mechanical voice: "Why——"

She was silent for a moment, then suddenly became excited, even a little incoherent: "Is it because of the medicine? But imitations are already being researched! The effect is not that good, but it can still hold out. Please, just give me some more time, not too long——"

"That has nothing to do with it, Shiho."

Kono Seira interrupted her by reading the girl's name, and the latter froze in place as if her vocal cords were strangled.

The girl's sea-blue pupils trembled, and the tip of her umbrella fell powerlessly onto the steps.

Since she left the institute, everything that happened tonight seemed to be fixed in the projector, fast-forwarding and slowing down beyond her control, and the camera finally slowly stopped on her outstretched hand.

The moment her fingertips touched the controller, Miyano Shiho woke up from a dream and withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted.

The white-haired young man sitting on the swing was waiting for her patiently, with a faint smile on his lips, and his eyes looking at her were soft and moist.

When he ran into that gaze, Miyano Shiho suddenly realized that someone like him could not be saved.

She had always known that no one could forgive his sins.

But even if she is willful, can't she just let this person stay a little longer?

There are obviously so many things that have not been done, both realized and unrealized, such as raising pets, choosing tea sets together, and making bets during afternoon tea.

If you go to Omotesando at the right time, you will be able to see the sunset when you walk out of the street.

The raindrops blew onto the back of her hand, and Miyano Shiho almost thought they were her own tears. However, when she felt them carefully, her eye sockets were dry.

She wiped her face in a wolfish manner, her throat blocked and she spoke in a hoarse voice: "...No."

The person opposite him widened his eyes in surprise.

"I said, no." Miyano Shiho said stubbornly, "Didn't you say that the authority was transferred to me? Patients should listen to doctors."

"I don't know who is investigating you, and I don't know why you suddenly made this decision. That's your business."

"——I just need to do what I should do."

Shengjiu seemed to be totally unprepared for her to say that and stood there in a daze.

Miyano Shiho pursed her lips and tried to bend them into a small arc. She picked up the fallen umbrella, relaxed, and stretched out her hand to the other party: "Follow me first--"

The voice stopped abruptly.

The girl's movements suddenly froze, her eyes dimmed, and she fell backwards softly, only to be caught by someone behind her.

"I controlled the force. She will wake up in fifteen minutes."

The calm female voice sounded a little more hesitant than usual, "...Sir."

Gongye Shengliang put the remote control device aside and asked gently, "Do you blame me?"

Zhihui was silent for a moment and answered truthfully: "I don't know."

For them, loyalty and faith are enough.

But her choice of loyalty destroyed her faith, and the implanted program did not explain how to deal with this situation.

Chie didn't know what kind of mood she was in when she sent Miyano Shiho here.

This is not right, she shouldn't have emotions.

"Is that so?"

The young man's next words were clearly heard by her: "Then forget about it. Let go of the past and find something you want to do."

Zhihui remained silent for a little longer.

In the end, she didn't answer yes or no. She just bowed slightly, picked up the controller, and left the courtyard with the sleeping brown-haired girl.

The figures of the two people gradually merged into a black dot in the field of vision until they disappeared.

The light voice blended into the rain.

"Whatever happens, don't come back."

…

…

The rain outside was still falling, and the deserted wilderness was like a peaceful grave.

Gongye Shengliang was still sitting under the pavilion. He had lost consciousness of the cold and closed his eyes, waiting silently for the appointed time.

However, the palm of my hand suddenly felt damp.

He couldn't feel it at first, but a tingling pain came from his fingertips and slowly spread to his brain.

Gongye Shengliang was stunned and looked down.

He saw a white fur ball that was soaked by the rain and shivering with cold.

The small animal's sharp canines pressed against his cold fingertips, gnashing like teeth, and a threatening growl came from its throat.

Its front paws dug into his sleeves, its toenails piercing the fabric and hanging on to it with force.

"...Hanako."

There was a moment of blankness in Kono Seira's mind. He didn't have time to think about why Hanako was here. There was only one thought in his mind -

This place is going to explode soon.

Maybe ten minutes, maybe half an hour.

His breathing suddenly quickened and his knee accidentally hit the concrete floor, but he seemed to feel no pain as he grabbed the white cat's front paw and tried to untie its nails.

"Be good, be good, be good." He just repeated some meaningless words, but his fingers were like a knot and didn't obey. He accidentally hit her too hard, and Hanako screamed out louder in pain.

…

…

----

The timing is perfect tonight, the noisy sound of rain will cover up all the secrets that never see the light of day.

In the safe house provided by the Japanese police, Furuya Rei received an urgent call from the public security department: "Mr. Furuya, based on the USB drive you provided, we have analyzed a video."

"The following content is still being deciphered, and the video will be sent to you soon."

Having hardly slept for several days in a row, the high-intensity workload and the constant tense mind made Fūya Rei a little overwhelmed, and a few bloodshot eyes appeared.

Faced with the police's meticulous emergency report, he pinched the bridge of his nose, concealing his slightly tired look, and said simply "OK".

The USB flash drive mentioned in the communication was obtained from Shirley's office when he sneaked into the institute one day.

With limited memory and time, he simply skipped those research projects and quickly browsed and copied them. Most of the files were encrypted and sent back to the public security department for processing, while Furuya Rei himself was constantly analyzing them, not missing any possible code.

Because Rum had given him a mission, he and Morobushi Kagemitsu had different divisions of labor. The latter formed a secret team with the FBI, while he was responsible for handling intelligence and secret codes related to the sacred wine.

In the dim room, Furuya Rei still had his hands crossed and supported his head. The next second, the blond undercover suddenly opened his eyes.

He also received an order from the Public Security Bureau, but his purpose was different from Jing's from the beginning.

He wants to restore the truth of that year through this information.

Suddenly, something on the table flashed twice in rapid succession. Furi Rei moved closer to the tracking device and after seeing the markings on it clearly, his brows immediately locked.

After the last successful infiltration, he installed a location bug on Shirley's car. Now, the screen showed that the location had left the city and was heading to the suburbs.

Fūya Rei sent the location to the police and asked them to keep an eye on it, as he had no intention of leaving.

After driving for a long time, the positioning showed that the car was moving slowly among the mountains.

This is not the speed a car should be traveling at. Who took the eavesdropping device away?

The first thought that crossed Rei Furuya's mind was "I've been exposed", but he denied it in less than a second. With Shirley's vigilance, it's impossible for her to act as if nothing had happened even though she knew she was being eavesdropped on.

The sound of rain mixed with electronic sounds, and the noisy environment made it difficult to make out the content of the conversation. Furutani Rei put on headphones, listened carefully, and took notes at the same time.

He heard Shirley's voice getting louder due to excitement, and she seemed to be talking to someone; then he heard a click and something fell to the ground.

The eavesdropping device was soaked in water, and after a sharp rustling sound, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, so quiet that it was even a little scary.

In the over-amplified depression, Rei Furuya heard a high-pitched cat meow.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please go away... Hanako."

The intermittent sounds sounded like sobbing in the rain.

"Pah"

He crushed the phone out of control.
