Chapter 143

Ango Sakaguchi took the flowers out of the vase and threw them into the trash can, replaced them with a fresh bouquet, then walked to the window and opened the half-closed curtains. The bright sunlight shone in from outside the glass and fell on the bed.

The person on the bed was sleeping peacefully, his face was pale and thin. If it weren't for the electrocardiogram showing a beating heart next to him, one would have thought that there was just a corpse lying there.

When Sakaguchi Ango sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at the man with his eyes downcast, the only sounds in the room were the operation of various instruments.

"Reisheng, it's been two years." The man reached out his hand and gently stroked the side of Amamiya Leisheng's face, sighing softly, "How long are you going to sleep?"

Two years ago, one month after Amamiya Ruisei's eighteenth birthday, the physical condition of the comatose young man suddenly deteriorated rapidly. The uncontrollable supernatural power tore his body apart wantonly, and in an instant the bed was dyed red.

When Ango Sakaguchi rushed to the hospital, the rescue efforts were already over - but the patient was not saved, but could not be saved.

At that time, Amemiya Keisei's breath was so weak that it was barely audible, and he was still bleeding. Blood dripped from his hanging fingertips without any sound, but it seemed to hit Sakaguchi Ango's heart heavily.

The medical staff were still trying, but they could not stop the gradually weakening heartbeat and breathing. Sakaguchi Ango rushed to the bedside like a wolf and grabbed Amamiya Reishi's hand.

“Rei…?” This was the first time that Sakaguchi Ango experienced such powerlessness.

When Amemiya Ruisei entered the hospital at the age of ten, he was still a minor. He had just got a formal position in the Special Powers Department and was brought by Taneda Santouki to see the child.

Ango Sakaguchi can say that he watched Amamiya Keishu grow up.

For Amemiya Keisei, who had to stay in the hospital for a long time, Sakaguchi Ango, who could enter and leave the hospital freely, was like his own channel to the outside world. This was something that the medical staff who had signed the agreement and the patients in the hospital could not compare to.

Therefore, Sakaguchi Ango's feelings for Amamiya Teizo are very complicated.

The other party is his friend, his family, and the child who depends on him wholeheartedly.

The relationship between them cannot be summed up in just a few words.

"Reisheng, you will survive." Sakaguchi Ango said tremblingly, "On the day you turned 18, you survived so strongly. You can still survive now, right?"

"You will live, you will have many more birthdays to celebrate, and I will be able to celebrate many more birthdays for you..."

"You are such a strong and brave child. You will definitely be able to defeat it, suppress the runaway supernatural power, and live, and live forever."

"Rei, Amamiya Riei... did you hear me? Stay alive, don't die..."

Perhaps he heard Sakaguchi Ango's call, Amamiya Ruisei moved his hand and held Sakaguchi Ango's hand.

"Reisheng?! You're awake! How are you feeling?" After Sakaguchi Ango said this, he heard Amamiya Risheng speak.

But those words sounded like a farewell to him.

How harsh.

Sakaguchi Ango gritted his teeth and suppressed the trembling of his voice: "Rei Sheng."

He wanted to say something, but after hearing a flat electronic sound, his words stopped abruptly.

Don't die.

Sakaguchi Ango's vision went dark.

Tired of life, you don’t want to die.

Please...stay alive.

“Drip, drip…”

As if the heavens heard the prayer, the line remained straight for two seconds before it started beating again.

After being stunned for a moment, Ango Sakaguchi took two steps back and gave his place to the medical staff who were full of hope and motivation.

He stood not far away, looking at Amamiya Ruishou in a trance, tears in his eyes no longer able to stop.

"I knew that since I gave birth to you, you would definitely try your best to live."

"Then when will you wake up?" Sakaguchi Ango put aside his memories and looked at Amamiya Ruisei helplessly, "Today is your twentieth birthday. The game console I bought for you has been replaced with the latest model on the market. I estimate that it will be replaced again soon."

He placed the box containing the game console next to Amamiya Reizo's pillow and said, "Happy 20th birthday, Reizo."

"The doctor said that your health has been gradually improving over the past two years. I guess it's because you've become an adult, so you can finally control your violent abilities."

"I don't know if that's the case. After all, no one else would know about this except you."

Sakaguchi Ango smiled and said, "But it's a good thing that you're getting better. Maybe it won't be long before you wake up and live a normal life."

He took out a wet tissue and wiped Amamiya Reizo's face, saying casually: "Since the Port Mafia changed its leader, Tokyo and its surroundings have become much more stable. When you are well, you don't need to stay under control any longer. If you want to work in the Special Powers Division, you will definitely be able to do it well with your ability."

"If you don't want to stay, I can help you apply for a release. If your superpowers go berserk, the Secret Service will have no reason to restrain you."

Sakaguchi Ango said, "I don't know what kind of job you want to do. I recently met a friend who works for the Armed Detective Agency. His name is Oda Sakunosuke."

"I heard from him that the Armed Detective Agency is very good, the work is not difficult, and the colleagues are very friendly. The Special Service Department has cooperated with them several times. Maybe it will be suitable for you."

Sakaguchi Ango paused, as if he had thought of an interesting scene, and smiled, "By the way, the Armed Detective Agency has several members who are about your age. Mr. Oda has also adopted a lot of children. They are all very lively. I think you will get along well with them."

"Also, many of the children you taught before have been discharged from the hospital. They occasionally come to see you and complain to you that the teachers in school are not as good as you in teaching. They hope that you can be their tutor in the future."

"I'm so tired," he sighed, "everyone misses you and wants you... to be happy."

Sakaguchi Ango withdrew his hand and was about to throw away the wet towel, but suddenly he caught a glimpse of something with his peripheral vision.

He was stunned, his eyes widened in disbelief.

A tear slid down from the corner of Amamiya's eye. Her eyelashes, stained with water, trembled and slowly opened, revealing the blue eyes underneath.

…

Amemiya Leisei felt that he had slept for a very long time and slept very soundly.

He seemed to be back in his mother's arms, soft and warm. Sometimes he thought he was in heaven, wrapped in soft and fluffy clouds.

Am I dead? Is it really so wonderful after death? Amamiya wondered.

Until a familiar mechanical sound awakened him from the illusion, giving him an unprecedented feeling, as if he had fallen back from heaven to the human world, back into the human body.

It's so beautiful!

[Program started]

[Monitoring mission completed, energy charged]

[Start Repair]

...what?

Amamiya Leisei found that he could not move, and the comfortable feeling coming from deep inside his body was like a cradle, lulling him to sleep.

System?

He called out softly, but got no response, only a few lines of words emerged in his mind.

[Repair progress: 100%]

[Process completed, starting to destroy plugin]

[Didi——A destruction plug-in was detected. The plug-in cannot be stopped due to the host settings. The operation log within the authority has been automatically expanded for you]

What happened...? Amamiya Raisei couldn't understand the current situation. Wasn't he dead? Why was he still so conscious?

[System? System, are you here? Did you do something?] He couldn't help but call out in his mind, but the system never made a sound, and the few lines of words that appeared changed again, becoming densely packed codes and text.

Amemiya Ruisheng couldn't understand and his head was swollen.

The codes flashed by quickly, and he barely managed to catch the key words from them.

[Task program removed, repair program removed, destroy plugin installed]

[Energy conversion process started]

[Decomposition host program startup]

[Complete analysis]

[Energy refill completed]

Amemiya stared at the mixed words in the code intently. His consciousness, which was clear just now, became blurry again. A suffocating feeling that gripped his heart swept over him. Although it was so uncomfortable, he had the feeling that he was still alive.

The scrolling code ends very quickly, leaving only the last line.

[Host, welcome back.]

Behind these words was the task interface that appeared. The three tasks he was doing were all shown to be 100% complete.

The system decomposed itself into energy and supported Amamiya Ruisheng's life for another month, until the three tasks were automatically completed over time and the repair program was activated, allowing this scarred body to continue. The day when the energy obtained from the completion of the tasks was used up was the day when Amamiya Ruisheng woke up, and at the same time, the last trace of the system left here disappeared.

It didn't know whether these tasks would be completed, so it made a big gamble, betting that the tasks would be completed and Yu Gong Leisheng would be alive.

Fortunately, it won.

He is still alive.

…

…

Oda Sakunosuke was walking in the hospital yard holding a gift box. It was just after nine o'clock and the morning sun was shining brightly. There were many patients walking in the yard and children playing.

A kid failed to brake while chasing and hit him, but he was held steady by him.

"Sorry! I wasn't paying attention and bumped into you!" The child stepped back and apologized repeatedly.

Oda Sakunosuke has adopted more than a dozen children and is particularly gentle and tolerant to children. Seeing this, he said, "It's okay, it's just a small matter. I'm glad you didn't fall. You still have to be careful."

After he finished speaking, he asked again, "Do you know where Amamiya Rui was born?"

"Brother Amamiya?" The child tilted his head. "What do you want to do with him?"

"I'm his friend, and I came to give him something," Oda Sakunosuke looked at the gift box in his hand, "I just went to the ward and didn't find him, and the nurse said he was in the yard at this time, so I came here."

"He's reading under the cherry tree over there." The child turned around and pointed to the cherry tree not far away.

It was the season when the cherry blossoms were in bloom, and even the cherry blossom trees in the hospital were no exception. With Oda Sakunosuke's keen eyesight, he easily spotted someone sitting on a bench under the tree, and vaguely realized that the person was the one he was looking for.

"Thank you, go have fun and be safe."

Oda Sakunosuke patted the child's head.

When he walked over, Amamiya Ruisei was just writing a note on the book and turned to the next page. He noticed someone coming over and looked up.

"It's Mr. Oda." Amamiya Raisei raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I heard that you will be discharged in a few days, but I have to go on an important business trip at that time and cannot come to pick you up, so I brought you the discharge celebration gift in advance." Oda Sakunosuke handed the box over and said with a smile, "Congratulations on your discharge."

"Thank you."

Amamiya Raizo was very surprised and immediately said, "Mr. Sakaguchi said that after I am discharged from the hospital and observed for another two weeks, I can report to the Armed Detective Agency. I will soon be able to become a colleague with Mr. Oda."

Oda Sakunosuke nodded: "I am looking forward to it. You will like the Detective Agency."

"I think so too." Amamiya Leisei thought of the members of the Armed Detective Agency whom he had met several times in other worlds, and the expression on his face softened.

He looked up at the cherry blossoms blooming above his head, and the falling petals fell right into his hand which was placed on the book. Amamiya Reisei retracted his fingers and wrapped the petals in his palm.

"Will there be a picnic in the park?" asked Amamiya Reizo curiously.

"Yes, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom now, and everyone goes to see them every year. Do you want to come?" Oda Sakunosuke invited.

Amamiya Leisheng smiled and said, "Okay."

“I want to go and see it with everyone.”
