Whether Shuichi Akai finally said those words to Bourbon, perhaps only the two parties involved know.

In the fourth week, Yuu only received one message from Mr. Former FBI Agent Now Mercenary:

"I estimate I can still attract Bourbon for a while, but it's really a headache that my ex-lover (arch-enemy) is chasing me together with him."

Four-quarter Eyes Yu: ...?

"Is that supposed to mean 'it's okay?'" He wasn't sure. "Sometimes Mr. Akai doesn't always use the right words in Japanese."

I've been living abroad for many years, so I can understand.

He's incredibly energetic. Noah's Ark confirmed, "He's so energetic that even Life fans will shed tears."

Life fans are a group of fans who only care about their own health and life.

After hearing the description of artificial intelligence, Si Zhou Muyou felt relieved.

Mr. Akai is really amazing!

Relieved, Si Zhoumuyu turned his attention to Zhu Fu Jingguang.

After persevering every day during this period and racking my brains to find topics to chat about, the chat history between the two of them finally reached the point where one person sent 20 messages and the other politely replied to 10.

One party sends fifteen messages, and the other party replies briefly with two or three; then one party sends ten messages, and the other party accurately replies to the points they want to share, and before they know it, they chat more and more.

Seeing this, Si Simuyou, who had dropped from twenty to ten per day, breathed a sigh of relief.

Since they don't meet often, if Senior Zhufu is not interested in these topics, he will have no topics to talk about!

During this period, the Mori family, Suzuki Sonoko, and the Investigation Section 1 gradually recovered their memories of their original world.

Kudo Shinichi also successfully contacted Miyano Akemi (not by seduction), and with the help of Noah's Ark, he avoided the organization's eyes and deliberately attracted the attention of Miyano Shiho.

In addition, Dr. Agasa also showed signs of recovering his memory.

The only thing that gives the high school detective a headache is his parents.

Kudo Yusaku was completely unmoved. He either thought his son was going to perform a new script or wondered if he was being bewitched by someone.

Yukiko Kudo praised Arata's improved acting skills.

In response to this, Kudo Shinichi, who had once vaguely revealed the truth about the world to his parents and was just short of letting his puppy doll come out to walk a few steps, gave up struggling and decided to let nature take its course.

Anyway, parents will not become enemies, nor will they interfere with what he wants to do.

Everything seems to be moving in the right direction.

The officers of the Investigation Division 1 who restored memories also brought new names of the red team characters, and like Mao Lilan and Miyano Akemi, they were all people who came back from the dead.

Jinpei Matsuda, Kenji Hagiwara, and Ko Date.

"I've only met Hagiwara-senpai and Section Chief Date once."

Sichuan Muyou, who had never known about the "resurrection from the dead", told his own information, "I have never heard of the other one."

"Ida Kou is now a member of the organization. Inspector Megure and his men's behavior has changed, and he can't hide it from him."

Kudo Shinichi said in a serious tone, "Damn it, what if..."

He swallowed his bad guess and said, "Kenji Hagiwara often moves around in Kabukicho, and Jinpei Matsuda often works with him."

"I'll go."

To prevent Bourbon from getting suspicious if things drag on, Akai Shuichi, who had severely injured Gin before leaving the US and cleared all traces, returned to Japan under the false identity of Okiya Subaru and said:

"I've heard something about Speyside and Glenlivet; the latter is said to have a rather bad temper."

During the time when Shuichi Akai was about to show his skills in Kabukicho, what Shinichi Kudo worried about really happened.

The cause was that the people in the Investigation Section were accidentally involved in a case related to the organization, and the public security was also involved. Without going into the complicated process, the organization finally ordered Brandon to silence him.

Before several police officers from the Investigation Division were "sacrificed", Kudo Shinichi, who noticed something was wrong, rescued them in time, but his existence was also recognized by the organization.

"Yuya Kazami is actually still a member of Rum's team!"

Kudo Shinichi gritted his teeth. He had always been on guard against Bourbon, who was a subordinate of the Public Security Bureau, but he never expected that the other party was a double agent.

Noah's Ark can surf the Internet freely, but it cannot monitor what is happening in reality in real time. Feng Jianyu also exchanges information offline.

Due to the semi-hostile relationship between the Kudo family and the organization, various temptations led by Rum emerge one after another.

Under the organization's huge human intelligence network, some traces of what Kudo Shinichi and Akai Shuichi have been secretly doing against the organization during this period have been revealed.

Rum saw the shadow of Noah's Ark in it, and the Boss ordered Bourbon to join the mission.

The organization has stepped up its defenses against artificial intelligence.

Out of concern for the safety of the high school detective, Shuichi Akai put his work in Kabukicho on hold and returned to Beikacho for support.

"The organization thought I wanted to, or had, done something to them."

Kudo Shinichi, who was actually doing something, was depressed, "Dad told me to stop in time."

"Sharon... Vermouth also approached me privately, hinting that it was okay to have fun, but not to anger the organization."

The organization's influence is spread throughout Japan, and even the Prime Minister has the surname Karasuma. With just these few people, no matter how sophisticated their strategies are, they are not enough to resist.

It is true that Noah's Ark can break into the organization's network and expose a series of intelligence of the organization, but in doing so they will definitely face the organization's full-scale hunt. This is the most last resort.

Several police officers from the First Investigation Division are "suspended" at home and their lives are in danger at any time. Kudo Shinichi is unwilling to accept this, but the key point at the moment is to dispel the organization's vigilance against him.

God knows what kind of Bourne script the organization has imagined for him!

Before the high school detective could come up with a solution, the organization learned from Shirley, who had not yet recovered her memory, that someone was approaching her.

Kudo Shinichi naturally disguised himself when approaching the other party, but Shirley's research projects, including herself, were the most important to the organization, even more so than before the world collapsed.

After all, the drug research of APTX-4869 is almost successful except for some side effects.

Karasuma Renya himself is the biggest beneficiary and success story of the project.

Things took a sharp turn for the worse.

Since it involves the organization's top secrets, of course they have to silence them.

One hour after receiving this news, the Kudo couple in the United States were assassinated.

At the same time in Japan, the Mori family, who were involved with Kudo Shinichi, also encountered a crisis of varying degrees.

If Hiroki Sawada had not been in a secluded place, he would probably have been greeted as well.

Fortunately, the high school detective had already prepared a plan for this situation, and everyone was able to evacuate to a safe place without any danger.

But it was only a matter of time before the organization found them.

On the surface, though Chira Orimoto had nothing to do with this series of events, everything around her remained calm.

"Qian Luo?"

Si Zhoumuyou, who was in disguise, suddenly came back to her senses and saw the man's face so close to her, and she subconsciously stepped back.

"What is Qianluo thinking?"

Seeing this, a dark light flashed across Zhu Fujing's eyes. He stood up straight and said in a worried tone, "I called you many times."

"I'm sorry." Si Si Muyou apologized immediately.

"Qianluo, is there something wrong?" the black-haired and phoenix-eyed man asked again.

"I... was thinking about my brother."

Surrounding Meyou was indeed very worried about the situation of Akai Shuichi and the others, "My brother's job is a bit dangerous, I am worried."

He glanced at the man in front of him.

In the absence of intuitive data to observe, being unable to accurately understand the progress of others' memory recovery will make people unconsciously anxious.

In the fourth round, You had a premonition that this round would probably have to start all over again.

But he would not choose to commit suicide on the spot, nor could he do it to himself.

Yu had been informed in advance by the other two about the fourth round, so he should just treat this round as a time to accumulate experience and information, and just try and make mistakes as much as he wants without worrying too much.

He adjusted his mentality and said, "But my brother has told me that I'm safe. Sorry, Mr. Midorikawa, I won't be distracted anymore."

As he spoke, the young man looked around and asked, "Are we almost there at the aquarium?"

Zhou Simuyou had previously asked Zhu Fujingguang to go out and play, and the latter chose the aquarium among many places.

"Almost." Zhu Fujingguang lowered his eyes, "I almost thought Qianluo hated me."

The four people around were surprised, "How could it be?"

"Otherwise, why is Qian Luo still avoiding me?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang took a step forward silently, "Didn't Qianluo say that you wanted to see me and talk to me every day? Are these things important to you?"

The man who had worn other casual clothes when he went out with the young man several times before, for some reason changed back into the gray-blue hoodie that he had not seen for a long time today.

The man's handsome face was half hidden in the shadow of his hood, making the gray in his blue-gray irises even darker.

"No, it's different."

Siwanmuyou stuttered, feeling ashamed again, "Maybe there's a misunderstanding, but these things are true. Maybe I didn't express myself correctly..."

Wow, is his career going to be tarnished? QAQ?

Under the man's gaze, the pink-haired young man spoke more and more quietly, his ears turning red.

Zhu Fujingguang glanced at the young man's red ears and still fair face, and said calmly, "Did Qianluo do this on purpose?"

He clamped the man's chin, forcing him to look directly at him, and approached him and said, "I believed Qian Luo's words so much, and you said it was a mistake?"

"Hmm... Chiro is also a bad guy."

The hearts of the people around were pounding, fearing that the disguise mask would be torn off.

"Mr. Midorikawa," he tried to explain, prying the man's hand open. "Can we talk in a different position?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang's eyebrows arched and he readily agreed, "Okay."

The next second, Si Si Muyou lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, he found himself tied to a chair with his hands behind his back, and a cold feeling came through the uppers of his shoes.

Looking down, he saw the shallow water on the ground occasionally spreading to the backs of his feet and wetting his trouser legs.

Next to me is a giant glass display tank unique to aquariums. The scenery inside is extremely empty, without the usual colorful fish.

The blue light passed through the only sea water that filled it, enveloping him completely.

This is a semi-abandoned aquarium.

Siwanmuyu saw his conspicuous orange hair in the reflection of the glass.

His heart skipped a beat, and the disguise was removed.

The sound of shoes stepping on water was heard, and everyone around turned their heads.

Zhu Fujingguang glanced at the glass tank slowly and said, "The aquarium staff haven't had time to drain the seawater yet, which is convenient for me."

"What is Mr. Midorikawa going to do?"

"Should I be the one asking Qian Luo this question?"

Zhu Fujingguang walked up to the young man and looked into his orange-gold eyes, which looked even more alluring under the reflection of the dark blue sea water. "So this is what Qianluo looks like."

Siwan Muyou pursed his lips and muttered, "I didn't mean to do that. If I approach Senior with this appearance, Senior will definitely ignore me."

Zhu Fujingguang: "..."

"Your purpose in approaching me, Orimoto Chira, who gave you the pseudonym?"

As he spoke, the black-haired, phoenix-eyed man stroked the young man's soft cheek with one hand, and his fingertips, covered with gun calluses, occasionally brushed across the side of his neck.

Si Zhoumuyou tilted his head as he felt a little itchy when he touched him.

Couldn't get it off.

He puffed up his cheeks and said, "This is my real name. I told you my purpose for getting close to you from the very beginning."

Siwan Muyou raised his eyes and met those gray-blue eyes directly. "It's so that I can see and talk to my senior every day."

No lies.

Knowing that he was a fool, Zhu Fujingguang felt even more complicated.

He could sense whether there was love in the young man's eyes or not.

But he still soberly believed his "confession" and fell deeper and deeper into it.

Zhu Fu Jingguang withdrew his hand, suppressing the drowsiness and unclear images that flashed through his mind like hallucinations. "In that case, I will meet Qian Luo's request and let you see me every day in the future."

"But before that, I have to do Bourbon a small favor."

While the two were chatting, the water on the ground gradually spread towards their knees.

Zhu Fujingguang stroked his chin, "Qian Luo and brother have a good relationship, right? He should come to save you?"

"Come to think of it, Bourbon also wants to meet Qian Luo's brother."

Their target is Mr. Akai!

The people around him tried to move their bodies anxiously, but the knot behind him bound him to the spot without moving.

"Does Qianluo know that high school student?" the black-haired and phoenix-eyed man asked again.

The people around him looked at him without saying a word.

"How much does Qian Luo know about the organization's affairs?"

Siwanmuyou tilted his head, "The only ones I know best are the ones I came into contact with before I faked my death."

He had heard the rest when Shinichi and Mr. Akai were discussing the plan, but it was too complicated for him to remember.

Fortunately, Noah was able to remember it.

"Hmm." Zhu Fujingguang said with relief, "It seems Qian Luo has experience in faking death."

Four weeks ago:?

Without paying attention to the orange-haired young man's puzzled expression, Zhu Fujingguang glanced at the phone that received the message and turned away.

The four people who stayed where they were looked down at the water level that had reached their thighs: "..."

Could it be that Senior Zhu Fu knew that he was a mermaid?

Everyone around was horrified, otherwise why would they mention faking their own death?!

If mermaids can be drowned by water, humans will be choked to death by air!

Shuichi Akai, who came to rescue people after receiving the news from Scotland, happened to see his expression.

The FBI, still unaware that the young man was a non-human creature, had a perfect misunderstanding. "Xiaoyou."

Look how Scotch and Blackheart Bourbon frightened the big star!

"Mr. Akai, they're targeting you and Shinichi!"

"I understand." Akai Shuichi untied the rope for him. "Let's put things in perspective. I said I would protect you."

They both knew that dying in the fourth round would trigger a rollback, and considering the dire situation in the current round, now was a good time to "die".

"Let's go." Akai Xiu said simply, "Death is not a pleasant experience."

The ears around him twitched slightly, "Be careful!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the huge glass beside the two of them exploded, and the sea water inside instantly rushed out, separating them.

In the chaotic water flow, Zhou Simuyou stabilized himself in the blink of an eye and was about to look for someone when he felt a pulling force behind him.

A mouthpiece-type underwater portable breathing apparatus was stuffed into his mouth. He turned around and saw Zhu Fujingguang who had just left.

It seems that Senior Zhu Fu doesn't know that he is a mermaid yet.

Siwan Muyou breathed a sigh of relief, then struggled to break free from the opponent's grip.

Humph, it’s okay on land, but how can fish be caught in the sea!

Zhu Fu Jingguang, who was thrown away, raised his eyebrows in surprise.

The surrounding eyes no longer paid attention to him, focused on finding someone, and swam forward.

The ankle was grabbed again at this time.

Instinctively, Si Zhoumuyou kicked forward reflexively.

After kicking him, he looked back guiltily, only to see a man with black hair and phoenix eyes floating quietly in the sea, looking at him with an ambiguous expression.

The senior's respirator is still there, so he should be fine.

Thinking of this, he looked around and finally found Shuichi Akai.

The other party was fighting with a blond and dark-skinned man in the water.

Surrounded by muyou, he swam over quickly with his arms, nimbly avoiding the hand that Fūya Rei was grabbing at him, and handed his respirator to Akai Shuichi.

He used sign language to signal to the man: I can definitely last longer than Mr. Akai, believe me.

Understanding his meaning, Shuichi Akai put down his hand that was about to return the respirator: Mr. Ikko?

Is it magic?

The four people around him understood what he meant and nodded. Magic was good, so he didn't need to make excuses.

Zhu Fujingguang, who was surprised that he could not swim as fast as the young man, rushed to the three of them at this time.

Without caring about anything else, Si Zhoumuyou, who was well aware of his own fighting ability, rushed over, hugged his waist and tried to drag him away from the battlefield between the other two.

Alas, his two legs in human form are not as useful as his fish tail, otherwise he could swim faster.

Zhu Fujingguang looked down and saw that the orange-haired young man did not have a respirator in his mouth. His first reaction was to give him his.

The people around him held his hand and glared back at him angrily.

“…”

Zhu Fu Jingguang frowned, took a deep breath of oxygen, and then forcefully handed over his respirator. Then, taking advantage of the young man's current movements, he pulled him into his arms and swam upwards.

Seeing this, Si Zhoumuyou took the initiative and brought him out of the water as quickly as possible.

"Murofushi-senpai, are you an idiot?" The orange-haired young man was angry and pushed the respirator into the man's arms. "What if he drowns?"

His shell necklace is not with him. If you are suffocated by the sea water, it will not be able to save you!

"Qian Luo's swimming ability is better than I thought."

Seeing him so full of energy, Zhu Fu Jingguang narrowed his eyes and held onto his hand without letting go, "Then I can't let you go down to help."

Si Zhoumuyou felt something prick his arm. Although he was conscious, his body went limp uncontrollably.

Why are the bad guys using drugs again!

"The organization didn't just send Bourbon and me. Gin's people are also nearby." Zhu Fujingguang brought the man ashore and carried the young man into a secret passage that had been prepared in advance.

"If you don't want to be discovered by the rest of the organization, it would be better for Qianluo to behave like before."

The people around were looking at the closed passage door, still angry.

Ah, the fish is turning into a pufferfish! Disgusting humans!

[Xiaoyou.] Noah's Ark spoke carefully. [Kudo Shinichi ran into Speyside and Glenlivet over there, and Rum is likely there too.]

What he didn't mention was that the Investigation Division also...

“…” The surroundings gradually quieted down.

After a while, he spoke softly, "Senior, if we were to get to know each other again, how would you like me to approach you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Fujingguang's gaze fell on the young man in his arms.

After tossing around in the water, the young man's fluffy hair was soaked by the sea water, water droplets hung on his thick eyelashes, and his orange-gold eyes seemed to be flashing with water. However, he did not look embarrassed, but instead revealed a vague inhuman feeling.

Zhu Fujingguang paused for a moment, then said meaningfully, "Just be yourself."

Wouldn't that mean we have to find a new topic?

As if diverting his attention, Siwanmuyu took the opportunity to ask, "What kind of topics do you like, senior?"

"It depends on my mood."

"So what are Hagiwara-senpai and Matsuda-senpai like? What are their hobbies?"

“……?”

Zhu Fujingguang put the people in his car and gave him a deep look. "I don't know them well."

"Oh." Siwan Muyu stopped talking.

“Pah—”

A drop of transparent water fell on the back of Zhu Fu Jingguang's hand.

It was not dripping from the young man's hair, but from the corners of his eyes.

“Pah—”

The water droplets on the back of his hand kept piling up, but the orange-haired young man didn't make a sound.

Zhu Fujingguang paused in his attempt to fasten his seat belt, feeling annoyed for no reason.

Without a word, he returned to the driver's seat and started the car.

"Speyside is generally more patient with good-looking people."

A few minutes after the car drove out, the black-haired man with phoenix eyes suddenly said, "As for Granwit, as long as you can get Speyside to accept you first, he won't bother with anything else."

The people around her were silent, and tears kept falling from the corners of her eyes like little pearls from a broken string.

"…'Reverse the flow of time and bring the dead back to life.'"

Zhu Fujingguang, feeling increasingly annoyed, added, "This is the organization's most core drug target. Shirley has essentially succeeded in her research."

The eyes of the people around him moved slightly. He had to pay a price to be resurrected, let alone humans.

“Sunk costs don’t factor into major decisions.”

Zhu Fujingguang didn't understand what he meant, "What?"

"Since I'm already drowned, no one can control my decision." Siwan Muyou closed his eyes. "Senior, the big fish in the aquarium yearn for the sea."

Under normal circumstances, he could patiently persuade seniors who behaved strangely and wait for the opportunity.

After all, some fish are truly protected, and if they return to the ocean they will lose their lives.

But Si Si Mu You felt that he was very sad now and he couldn't persuade her.

"Fortunately, I'm not a big fish. I still like humans very much." Siwanmuyou muttered, "But I still have to hate Senpai for the time being."

He knew that the fault was not entirely on Zhu Fu Jingguang alone, and he had no memory of the original world.

"It's decided. Next week, I'm going to put the seniors last."

Si Si Muyou thought that he was still lucky, at least he had a chance to start over!

It’s just a pity that I can’t wait for the apology from my seniors.

"Senior, can you please say sorry to me?"

Zhu Fujingguang, with his heart in turmoil, somehow spoke, "I'm sorry."

"Hmph, then I'll introduce you to the senior one step forward." The surrounding eyes blinked and suddenly called out, "Noah."

【……I see.】

Zhu Fu Jingguang, who had been using the jammer from beginning to end, suddenly turned his head.

Five minutes later, he received a call from his childhood friend.

"The AI leaked all the information about the organization," said Rei Furuya in a grave tone. "But he didn't leave his name on the black market or the dark web."

"The name he left was Hasegawa Yu, and he even updated his location in real time."

This is nothing short of a provocation to the organization.

There are many hyenas around the crow, eager to tear off a piece of meat.

It was impossible to bite it in the past, but now it’s hard to say.

The organization will definitely not let go of the person who caused all this.

Si Zhou Mu You cannot commit suicide, but he can let others kill him.

Hasegawa Yu, who was shot in the head by the silver-haired killer, suddenly sat up from the bed.

"Wrong choice..." He muttered the name of the achievement he obtained this time.

【Xiaoyou, let's watch 'Silly Girl' together. 】

Seeing that the mermaid was feeling a little down, Noah's Ark tried to divert his attention. [I haven't finished reading "Magic Phone" yet.]

"Okay." Hasegawa Yu agreed happily, "It's a pity that there is no holographic projection equipment in the villa."

"I can ask Hiroki to send one over." Noah's Ark said quickly.

"It's too troublesome, and I don't know how to install it."

Hasegawa Yu puffed up his face and said, "I want to eat dirty buns, curly bread, buckwheat bread, and long bread."

[Click.] Noah's Ark ignored the question of whether certain breads were available. [I'll give Xiao Youdian a takeout.]

Hasegawa Yuu lay back on the bed, "I told you this round was lucky!"

Noah's Ark sighed silently, [Hmm.]
