On a new day, the mermaid, who is suspected to be the favorite of both the black and white groups, is facing a small crisis.

Here's the thing.

After the truck incident, out of concern for the safety of the police officers, Noah's Ark included the people on the search section and the bribery list in the surveillance scope.

As the Investigation Section cooperated with the public security and secretly arrested several people, some well-informed people became restless as they found that some people on the list had not yet been arrested.

After monitoring that these people had hired a killer, Noah's Ark immediately had the mermaid alert the police officers.

The police officers who had been prepared in advance naturally would not let the killer succeed, and they only suffered minor injuries.

Hasegawa Yu, who received the news and rushed to check the situation, breathed a sigh of relief after seeing with his own eyes that the person was not seriously injured.

However, he didn't feel relieved for long, as he ran into Jinpei Matsuda who happened to be nearby in the parking lot where the incident occurred.

This was nothing, but someone called out the other person's name before him.

"Matsuda?!"

In the back seat of a police car, with the door open and facing outward, Miwako Sato, who was sitting on the edge of the seat treating a wound on her knee, blurted out subconsciously.

Sato Miwako's collapse value is now 29%, and her memories of the original world have been restored to about 70%.

When he heard someone calling out his name accurately, he looked up and saw that it was someone he didn't know, a policeman, and narrowed his eyes.

"Where did you get the information?"

Not caring at all about the other police officers present, the black curly-haired man wearing sunglasses approached the female police officer with his hands in his pockets, exuding a dangerous aura.

He spoke slowly and clearly, "As far as I can remember, I've dealt with all the police officers who've come across me."

Sato Miwako, who was impacted by a Honkai character for the first time, stared at him closely, her muscles unconsciously tensed.

The remaining few police officers from the Search Section 1 remained silent.

Except for Takagi Shigeki, they all have memories of Matsuda Jinpei in the original world.

Although they had only been together for seven days, the former bomb disposal officer who had volunteered to sacrifice his life to save 12 million hostages left a deep impression on them.

Of course, the impression I had when we met again now is still very deep.

As an undercover agent of the Black Organization, Date Ko was well disguised during the search; unlike Matsuda Jinpei, his aura was not restrained at all, he was arrogant and looked down on everyone.

Megure Jusan: Brother Matsuda looks more like a gang boss than in the original world!

I hope he won't really become the boss after the collapse.

He didn't say this out loud, but a complicated look appeared on his face.

"I mentioned it accidentally."

Having a bad feeling, Hasegawa Yu turned his back to the police officers and stood between the two of them, blocking Matsuda Jinpei's view of Sato Miwako.

Matsuda Jinpei's gaze behind his sunglasses slowly shifted to him.

The parking lot was dimly lit, and most of the bulbs on the ceiling had fallen into disrepair. However, the warning lights on the roof of the police car provided some illumination.

The silent flashing warning lights alternately lit up, and the red and blue lights were imprinted on everyone, adding a touch of solemnity to the atmosphere.

Matsuda Jinpei let out a very low hum, and the black sunglasses on his face absorbed all the light, leaving only the cold facial contours imprinted with the blurred red and blue lights.

He said casually, "Oh, I almost forgot the young master is here too."

Hasegawa Yu licked his lips unconsciously, trying to think of an excuse in his mind, his heart pounding with nervousness, "Rice Flower Municipal Building."

Seeing that no one spoke, he repeated, "Weren't we all at the Municipal Building that day?"

"When I went to the Metropolitan Police Department to take a statement, Takizawa Shinichi mentioned Matsuda-senpai, and I accidentally let it slip when the officers asked about it."

I'm sorry, Mr. Takizawa, you're safe in prison, just consider it as helping the police.

“!”

Miwako Sato and Wataru Takagi, who were in charge of the police response to the murder case in the municipal building, also recalled the young man's description that day.

The suspect in the room with the hole in the ceiling matched the description.

However, the two police officers never met the "suspect" from beginning to end, and the case was left unresolved after they found the real murderer.

Miwako Sato was upset that Jinpei Matsuda had not been resurrected in the Investigation Section 1 and the Virginity Explosion Squad, and she had not even remembered this clue.

Taking in the orange-haired young man's expression that read "believe me now," Matsuda Jinpei paused for a moment, but didn't expose his lie. He then asked, "What did I tell you on the rooftop?"

"I didn't reveal it." Hasegawa Yuu no longer felt guilty.

He really didn't reveal the existence of the organization to the police officers!

"Really?" Matsuda Jinpei nodded with an ambiguous attitude, and glanced at the police officers of the Investigation Section.

"Matsuda...Mr."

Quickly calming herself, Sato Miwako stood up and stood next to the orange-haired young man. "When we were interrogating Takizawa Shinichi, we did hear a description from him that almost matched your appearance."

She went along with the young man's lies, her eyes gleaming with sharpness. "Since you have nothing to do with the case, we didn't proceed with summoning you. Due to the principle of confidentiality, we'll skip this matter for now."

"Mr. Matsuda, did you say something extraordinary just now?"

Miwako Sato couldn't believe that Jinpei Matsuda would actually kill a police officer!

Matsuda Jinpei ignored her question and continued looking at Hasegawa Yu, "There's one thing I haven't explained."

His arrogant attitude made Sato Miwako take a deep breath and clench her fists.

Megure Jusan walked up to her and patted her shoulder, suggesting that she calm down.

Hasegawa Yu: "What's the matter?"

"Who are these cops looking at through me?"

Matsuda Jinpei smiled, his dark blue eyes hidden by his sunglasses showing no warmth. "I don't have a hobby of being a stand-in."

Looking at him in shock and disbelief, as if I knew him already, was really an eyesore.

Upon hearing this, Hasegawa Yu looked back. Could it be that the police officers knew Senior Matsuda before the world collapsed?

"Ms. Matsuda... didn't you see it wrong?"

Megure Jusan stepped forward and unnoticedly moved Hasegawa Yuu behind him. "We are trying to confirm whether you are the person described by Takizawa Shinichi."

Matsuda Jinpei stared at the orange-haired young man and said, "Come here."

Why would someone from an organization have such a good relationship with the police?

Hasegawa Yu knew that he didn't like police officers, but he didn't expect him to hate them so much. His aura completely changed.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he whispered, "Don't worry, officers. I'll be fine. See you later."

Seeing that they chose to walk towards him, Matsuda Jinpei's irritable mood barely improved a bit, "For the sake of..., I won't bother with them this time."

Hasegawa Yuu was slow to realize that the word he had blurred out was Speyside.

The orange-haired young man couldn't help but puff up his cheeks, "I know, I'll go thank Yan Er brother later."

I'll ask Kenji later why Matsuda-senpai hates the police so much!

Hearing his call, Matsuda Jinpei raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded for someone to follow him, and then turned and left.

It's strange, how could Hagi be so close to this member of an organization with unknown origins?

Hasegawa gave the police officers a small wave before jogging to catch up with the black-haired man who was striding away.

The man stopped in front of a navy blue Mazda RX-7.

Seeing this, Hasegawa Yu slammed on the brakes and took a half step back, "I still hate you temporarily and don't want to ride in your car."

It definitely smells like cigarette smoke.

The phone has been returned.

This "temporary" time is really long, Matsuda Jinpei thought nonchalantly, and opened the car door and got in. "Next time, don't let me see you with the police."

Hasegawa Yu didn't say a word, just stood there and watched the car go away.

After the car completely disappeared, he called out softly, "Noah."

[Real-time location of Matsuda Jinpei. Next time Xiaoyou is with Investigation 1, I'll warn him when he approaches.] Noah's Ark understood.

So Hasegawa Yu immediately turned around and ran back.

Humph, why should he listen to everything the annoying person says?

The officers from the Investigation Section 1 haven't left yet.

Seeing the orange-haired young man running back, several people immediately surrounded him to check and asked worriedly, "Is Xiaoyou injured?"

"No."

Hasegawa Yu, who obediently allowed them to check, asked out of concern, "Officer Sato, do you know Mr. Matsuda?"

“…” Miwako Sato and Jusan Megure looked at each other.

Five minutes later.

"Huh?" Hasegawa Yu was surprised. "Matsuda-senpai was a bomb disposal police officer before the world collapsed?"

"right."

Megure Jusan hid the fact that Matsuda had been transferred to the Investigation Division, after all, this would involve the fact that the other party had already died.

"He's quite talented at bomb disposal. I heard he was recruited by the Explosives and Bombs Disposal team while still in the police academy, and became a captain shortly after graduation."

"Wow!" Hasegawa Yu had only seen bomb disposal police in TV dramas.

It sounds so cool!

Thinking about the various equipment parts that Matsuda Jinpei often fiddled with when he went to Kabukicho, Hasegawa Yu suddenly realized.

No wonder the seniors like to tear things apart so much.

"Xiaoyou, do you still know, uh... Hagiwara?" Megure Jusan recalled the reason why Matsuda was transferred to the Investigation Division 1, "I think his name should be... Hagiwara Kenji?"

"Yes, he's with Matsuda-senpai." Hasegawa Yu was troubled. "We are all in the same organization, but the existence of this organization cannot be known to outsiders."

"Hagiwara is also a genius police officer in the virgin explosion team."

Megure Jusan, who had noticed early on that the young man was hiding something, sighed, "Then I won't tell you. But do you need our help with the Honkai values of these two people, Xiaoyou?"

Hasegawa Yu shook his head, "Kenji's Houkai value has reached 51%. He will soon be able to recover his memory like the police officers!"

Megure Jusan opened his mouth with mixed feelings.

If Hagiwara Kenji remembers his own death...probably nothing will happen.

"Yuu-chan wants to know why Granvit hates the police?"

Hagiwara Kenji propped his chin on one hand and said, "Oh, I thought Yu-chan finally took the initiative to come to Kabukicho to play with me."

"I've been busy with shooting training lately." Hasegawa Yu lowered his eyes and touched the tip of his nose. "Haven't I been chatting with my brother Kenji on the phone?"

After thinking for a moment, he added, "It's not just about study problems."

We chat about a lot of random things every day!

"Even if they're dating online, couples will try to see each other every few days."

While speaking, Hagiwara Kenji changed his posture and slouched on the table, saying in a light tone, "You-chan was so close to me, and I didn't even think of coming over to take a look."

Hasegawa Yu always felt that there was something strange about what he said.

Noah's Ark also felt so, but he couldn't explain why at the moment.

"I'm sorry, Kenji-nii." Hasegawa Yu apologized honestly, "I will definitely come to Kabukicho to play with you when I have time in the future."

The semi-long-haired man said nothing, his chin resting on his folded arms, his gaze fixed straight up at the young man in front of him, a faint light shimmering in his violet eyes.

It seems like a large dog that starts lying behind the door waiting for its owner to come back after the owner goes out to work.

He lay there without moving, and even though he was waiting impatiently, he only hummed softly.

Oops, it seems Yan'er-brother is really sad.

Hasegawa Yu moved his body, feeling guilty. "Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow... as soon as I'm done with my work, I'll come to see Brother Yanji."

He poked the man's arm carefully. "Brother Yan'er obviously has a lot of things to do every day. Wouldn't it be better to arrange to hang out together someday when we're both free?"

Hagiwara Kenji endured a headache that had been intermittent since half an hour ago. His face showed no abnormality, and a sigh escaped his lips, "Yu-chan looks like she's comforting a child."

After being "ignored" for so long, shouldn't the right thing to do be to offer him some compensation?

"Hehe~" Hasegawa Yu scratched his head embarrassedly.

"I can't go into detail about Granvert." Hagiwara Kenji sat up straight and leaned back in his chair, supporting his head with one hand.

"Anyway, there was once a police officer who mistakenly identified someone important to him as a murderer and arrested him in the Metropolitan Police Department. However, that officer received no punishment and was even promoted to the position of Superintendent of Police."

Hasegawa Yu pursed his lips, "Is there no way to directly expose the Superintendent?"

"Don't worry, Yuu-chan."

The smile on Hagiwara Kenji's face grew wider as his headache grew. "Glenlivet has already given him a 'fireworks' show. He's very satisfied."

With a bang, everything exploded.

"He doesn't like the police as a group." Hagiwara Kenji kindly reminded, "You-chan, don't even think about changing his mind."

"No one in the organization dares to mess with Granwit."

"I understand." Hasegawa Yu looked the man straight in the eye. "Matsuda-senpai is patient and tolerant of me, largely because of Kenji-nii."

Hagiwara Kenji looked at him with a hint of surprise.

"Kenji-nii is really important to Matsuda-senpai."

Hasegawa Yu noticed something and asked with concern: "Brother Yan'er, you don't look well. Do you want to go and rest first?"

"Hmm." Hagiwara Kenji said regretfully, "Looks like I'll have to wait until next time to chat with Yuu-chan."

"It's not like we won't meet again." Hasegawa Yu stood up, walked around the table and came to his side, "Kenji, can I help you?"

It seems that he looks really bad, Hagiwara Kenji thought.

[Hagiwara Kenji's collapse value is jumping back and forth.] Noah's Ark spoke at the right time, [The same situation as the day of the Investigation Division.]

After hearing what the artificial intelligence said, Hasegawa Yu felt relieved. Fortunately, he was not sick.

"Brother Yan'er, go lie down on the bed. Where is your bedroom?"

Hagiwara Kenji, who was about to refuse, turned his eyes slightly and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Yu-chan."

The man with semi-long hair stood up with the help of the young man, and Duang's big hand pressed on him.

"!" The unprepared Hasegawa Yu staggered and almost fell.

"Yuu-chan, I'm so dizzy."

Hagiwara Kenji pressed his entire body against the young man from behind, his head resting on his shoulder, against the side of his neck, "I can't walk anymore."

Well, just as I thought before, it’s just a little smaller when I hold it in my arms.

The violet eyes gradually deepened, and Hagiwara Kenji did not forget to explain in a weak tone, "The bedroom is in the second room over there."

At such a close distance, a faint fragrance lingered on his nose.

Hagiwara Kenji, who was gradually losing consciousness, murmured, "It's like a sea salt lemon cake."

Fragrant and soft.

Hasegawa Yu struggled to support him, concentrating on carrying him on his back. "Brother Kenji, take a nap first. I'll buy you a cake when you wake up."

Does Yaner like cake very much? He wants to eat it even though he's dizzy like this.

Hagiwara Kenji did not respond.

Hasegawa Yu turned his head and saw that the man with semi-long hair had his eyes closed and his breathing was heavy. He was really asleep.

"Okay, I can do it." Hasegawa Yu encouraged himself and put the man's arm on his shoulder, "Hey!"

Very good, I memorized it!

After a lot of trouble, Hasegawa Yu, who had carried the person to the bedroom with a grunt, exhaled and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his arm, "Hu——"

He is so tired.

The officers from the last search section fell asleep for about an hour.

Hasegawa Yu covered Hagiwara Kenji with the quilt, tidied up his own messy clothes, pulled over a chair, sat beside the bed and waited for someone to wake up.

Just when he was wondering whether he should save time and buy the cake first, he heard some noise coming from the direction of the living room.

"Hagi, why don't you answer the phone?"

Matsuda Jinpei, who had the key to the house, walked straight into the house and saw the orange-haired young man calmly (?) walking out of Yu Junran's bedroom.

"Brother Kenji has fallen asleep." Hasegawa Yuu didn't expect Matsuda Jinpei to come. "He should wake up soon. Senior, why don't you wait for a while?"

Jinpei Matsuda looked silently in the direction of the bedroom, then at the neatly dressed young man.

“…”

Matsuda Jinpei's pupils trembled behind his sunglasses, and the silence was deafening.

What the hell is going on? Hagi is the one down there!

No way!

Hasegawa Yu was confused, "Senior?"

Is this an illusion? Senior seems to be very shocked.

On the other side, Hagiwara Kenji in the bedroom suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.

He touched his body and found it was intact.

The pain of being killed by a bomb was like an illusion brought about by a nightmare.

Two different memories kept intertwining in his mind. Hagiwara Kenji covered his head and it took him a while to sort them out.

After a while, he sighed, "Wow, Xiao Jiangu has become very successful."

They all became members of parliament!

Putting his successful peers aside, Kenji Hagiwara looked around the bedroom and found that Hasegawa Yu was not there.

The cushion on the chair beside the bed was still warm, indicating that the person had left not long ago.

Kenji Hagiwara thought about himself and the situation in this world. He pushed open the bedroom door and walked towards the living room. "Yuu-chan?"

Yu-chan didn't see it, and first met You Xunran's deep gaze.

"Xiao, Xiao Zhenping?" Hagiwara Kenji stuttered for a moment for some reason.

Matsuda Jinpei, who lent the key to Hasegawa Yu and asked him to go out to buy a cake, was very disappointed. "You still want to eat sea salt lemon cake."

Don't you think there's something wrong with it? Like a certain sex position!

"?" Hagiwara Kenji recalled the memory before falling asleep, stroking his chin, and said in a happy tone, "So Yu-chan really went to buy a cake~"

Matsuda Jinpei twitched his lips, "Hagi, I will keep this a secret."

He hesitated, "Well... I respect your idea."

“???”

Hagiwara Kenji touched his arm, which had goose bumps for no reason. "Jin Ping, I don't know what you mean, but put your thoughts aside."

It’s definitely not a good thing!
