Chapter 018: Jay Becomes a Policeman
"…Sugar Oil!"
A cold voice was heard, and Xia Youjie opened his eyes suddenly. His breathing was still a little rapid, and he subconsciously looked at his hands.
The white and slender fingers were clean, and there was sweat in the palms, but it was different from the dream that was too real just now.
He quickly came to his senses and whispered to the person who woke him up: "Master, if I remember correctly, it's not time for our mission yet."
The man with long blue hair and a scar on his face poked Xia Youjie and said innocently, "Hey - didn't I come here early so that we can exchange information?"
He saw the innocent and pretty face, but the next moment, his smile was filled with undisguised malice. He stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch Xia Yujie.
"You're so defenseless, or is this a side effect of the experiment?" He said as he stretched out his hand. His voice was gentle, but it was like a tentacle that wanted to wrap around and bind the person.
The air was broken at this moment, and perhaps less than a second later, he was held down by Geto Suguru, and his arms were twisted abnormally, making a terrifying sound.
"If you do it again, I will kill you." Xia Yujie said slowly. He was smiling, and his smile was gentle and bright, but the words he said were chilling.
Xia Yujie knew very well that if he had obeyed Zhenren's behavior just now, he would definitely have to fight with this pervert and might even be reported to his superiors.
You can only resist, but not too much, not too much, and not too much. You have to smile to the standard arc.
The two of them tested each other several times before slowly starting to talk about business.
From what they said, it was easy to tell that what they were talking about was not good. On the contrary, it was a major event that determined the life and death of a group of people.
Xia Yujie always maintained a calm attitude and treated Zhenren with lukewarmness and even disgust.
The real person finally reached the limit of Geto's patience and waved goodbye. He smiled and said, "Oh, yes, Nozomi said that his experiment has made great progress. Please work harder to find materials."
After saying this, he looked at Xia Yujie's ugly face and jumped away with satisfaction.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Geto Suguru was being restrained, and for unknown reasons, he had to obey the very thing he hated the most, the Stitching Line.
He sat on the bed in silence, staring at his clean hands in a daze. Even though his hands were not dirty at the moment, he seemed to suddenly see countless blood surging and dripping from his hands drop by drop.
The noose experiment has made progress, which means that the so-called material has been consumed again, and he will immediately start looking for new materials or new people.
Even though he tried his best to stop it every time, he couldn't save everyone.
Even he himself is in a difficult situation now and might die in the next second.
Xia Yujie smiled bitterly, took a deep breath, raised his head, calmly picked up the landline in the room, dialed a number, and began to order food in a gentle voice.
It doesn't matter, his companions are still there and the Metropolitan Police Department will not turn a blind eye to this.
After he hung up the phone, the smile was still on his face. Even in an empty room, he couldn't completely relax.
It’s really... ridiculous. Sometimes he would wonder why, why did everything come to this point.
…
The memories of Geto Suguru are chaotic and jumping. From the perspective of a sorcerer, this mental state has already collapsed.
Just when they thought this was the end, another bloody memory filled with hatred and resentment emerged and rushed straight towards them.
…
"Sugar oil!"
An angry female voice was heard, and Xia Yujie raised his head to look at the person who came. A girl with a pigtailed hair ran towards him.
When she saw the person next to Geto Xiayou, she paused and said with her hands on her hips, "We clearly agreed to have it next to the flowerbed. You made me wait so long."
Before Kayuki could say anything, the man wearing sunglasses and a duckbill cap spoke up first: "Hey, there's more than one flower bed here. It's obviously you who's too stupid."
The sunglasses moved down slightly as he moved, revealing a pair of clear and brilliant blue eyes. Gojo Satoru lowered his waist slightly and looked at Amauchi Riko.
Riko Tenuchi met Geto Suguru because of a case. Because her parents passed away, Geto Suguru will take care of her more in the future.
For example, today, Tenuchi Riko won the Hokkaido trip for two, but she needed adult supervision to go, so she found Geto Suguru.
Xia Yujie waved his hand and said with a smile, "Satoru finally found some time these days, so we came together. It just so happened that his work has come to an end."
Because of work reasons, they met in Hokkaido, and as soon as they met, they chattered and shared each other's affairs.
"I also asked Nozomi, but she is very busy in the hospital and seems to be about to get a promotion recently." Xia Yujie said casually.
Gojo Satoru excitedly picked up the funny glasses from the roadside stalls, picked one up and put it on Geto Suguru's floral shirt, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Let's come together next time. I'll treat you to the most expensive ones, and order seven or eight male models for Glass!" Gojo Satoru said, patting his chest with a solemn look.
Xia Yujie's eyes widened in disbelief. He patted Gojo Satoru's head and said, "Are you still the young master who blushed when talking about photography before? You're still calling me a male model. Be careful or I'll torture you in."
Gojo Satoru covered his head and muttered, "...It's not illegal."
Xia Yujie looked Gojo Satoru up and down, fearing that he might be infected with bad habits after being in the entertainment industry for too long.
Gojo Satoru symbolically turned around to show that he was clean, then pulled Kagome Jie and ran to the beach: "Okay, who dares to bully me? Let's go, Riko is calling us."
It is true that no one dares to bully Gojo Satoru. Not to mention Gojo Satoru's family background, just his strength, personality and number of fans are not something that ordinary people dare to mess with.
After all, this guy is capable of punching someone if he is offended. He has no worries and is free and unrestrained. He is the most unique and shining existence.
It was not their first time to come to the beach, but it was their first time with their best friends. The sea water and waves witnessed their pure joy and happiness.
They had water fights with each other, poked unknown sea creatures, drank specially prepared drinks, hit watermelons with their eyes blindfolded, and made videos to show off to their family members...
This really makes people wonder, if only time could stop at this moment, if only laughter could exist forever.
But sometimes, God may not be able to bear witness to pure laughter, and that layer of genuine joy is like thin ice, which will melt away at the touch of a flame.
The case happened too suddenly. No one expected that five people would go missing from the hotel overnight, and Tenuchi Riko was one of the missing people.
As a policeman, he accompanied Riko for safety reasons, but he never expected that something could happen right under his nose.
Xia Yujie pinched his brows and frowned as he looked at the sealed-off scene. The scene was too clean and there was no other trace left.
How on earth could a space like this take a person away?
Even until the end, there was no progress on this matter, but Geto Suguru refused to leave. He couldn't just leave Tenuchi Riko alone.
Of course, Gojo Satoru also has things he should do. Although he has an unruly personality, he is still dedicated to his work.
He scratched his hair and wanted to stay with Geto, but Geto pushed him away, saying that it was his own business.
"Are you going to Kyoto for work this time? There happens to be a famous soba restaurant there. Go and try it for me. I'm looking forward to it."
Xia Yujie said this as he pushed Gojo Satoru who refused to leave, and gave him a slap on the face as he looked unhappy.
They have known each other for so many years, and it is true that they only have some quarrels now and then, but it is true that their ages drop sharply when they are together.
Gojo Satoru snorted twice. He knew that with Geto's moral standards, he would not let himself delay his work, so he did not force him to stay.
He slapped Xia Yujie's cheeks with both hands, making a crisp sound. Xia Yujie, who was a little depressed, stared at the other party with wide eyes and subconsciously wanted to punch him twice.
Gojo Satoru dodged with a smile, then said seriously: "If you have anything, come to me. My connections and background are still very powerful.
Cheer up, Jay, we'll find it, we're the best combination of a superstar and a rising star in the police force!
Let’s go eat soba together after everything is over.”
When did they get together? Xia Yujie couldn't help laughing. The sadness and anger he had been feeling for the past few days suddenly disappeared.
He waved his hands helplessly and laughed, saying that the five big stars were really powerful.
They hugged each other goodbye and turned away. No one looked back because they knew they would meet again next time.
——They thought they would see each other again.
Xia Youjie knew that people's hearts were evil and had rich experience in handling cases. Even without any trace, he still deduced that there were three people involved.
But he never imagined that a case would involve high-tech beyond his knowledge.
I was just following clues and came to an empty room. There was a sweeping robot in the corner. Who would guard against an ordinary piece of furniture?
When he felt dizzy, Xia Yujie pulled out his gun and shot, causing a shock wave.
——————
When he regained consciousness, the first thing he felt was his limbs being restrained, and there were people next to him with their eyes closed who seemed to be unconscious. One of them was the person he had been looking for, Riko Amauchi.
Xia Yujie noticed that this was not an abandoned factory or something like that, but a completely empty room that looked like a laboratory.
He did not act rashly, but just sat there calmly. After all, he felt that there must be a camera in the room facing them.
But Xia Youjie's silence did not mean that others would not move. Several middle-aged men and young boys woke up and looked at the surrounding environment in a daze.
Before the crowd began to become panicked and anxious, Xia Yujie was the first to speak up and reveal his identity to comfort them.
At this time, Tenuchi Riko also woke up. She was obviously frightened, but she still spoke up to prove her identity to Geto Suguru.
Xia Yujie knew that this was not like a normal kidnapper at all. He made no demands and did not say anything. It was as if he just kidnapped them.
Possessing high technology beyond cognition, the means to hide traces, and the financial resources and background to build a laboratory...
No matter how you look at it, the intentions of the person behind this are definitely not simple.
Soon, Xia Yujie knew what the person behind this wanted to do.
[After one hour, only one person can survive. If the number of people is greater than 1, no one will survive.]
This absurd and perverted experiment on human nature may be a plot in a movie, but it actually happened in real life.
When Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru saw this, they already knew that Geto Suguru was the only one who survived, but for Geto Suguru, the process was probably the most important thing.
However, even if the curse spirit was mobilizing his most fearful and emotionally volatile memories, the memories that followed were like being covered by a layer of blood-red fog, making them unclear and inaudible.
They could feel the heavy breathing of the owner of the memory, trembling and panic, mixed with the increasingly rapid heartbeats.
Thump, thump, thump. I couldn't hear anything in my ears. Only the sound of my heartbeat, which seemed to be about to explode, was filling my brain.
The trance and strange pleasure brought by the loss of blood, along with the mixed sounds, made the body and soul tremble uncontrollably.
His memory was in a mess until he saw the dazed girl lying in front of him with blood on her face. Her clear eyes were filled with panic and confusion as she stared straight at Kagome Jie.
Those pitch-black eyes looked at him, like drops of ink in the river water mixed with sand and gravel, causing ripples and covering the clear river water with black.
Xia Yujie heard the last words of Tenuchi Riko: "...Why?"
Why did this happen? Did I do something wrong?
Why did I end up in this situation?
Why should we listen to each other and kill each other?
Why was it me who died?!
Why don't you protect me? ! ! ! !
Buzz————
At this moment, all sounds disappeared. Although the body may not be aware of it yet, the soul has already started to mourn.
Why can't good people have a good ending?
Why should innocent people become toys of others?
Why can't I, as a police officer, protect anyone?
Why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why…
Riko Amauchi's hand unconsciously reached out to Geto Suguru, and this did not change even though she was lying on the ground. This was her instinctive request for help.
Xia Yujie looked at those eyes and suddenly realized——
It's all my fault. I was too weak. I couldn't save them. I didn't fulfill my responsibilities. I couldn't catch the criminals who were cruel to humanity. I couldn't save the situation.
It's all my fault!!!
