Chapter 85: Unknown Scene in the Song: I’m not unhappy…
The senior suddenly changed his mind and took the mermaid back to the mermaid performance venue.
Zhu Fujingguang habitually observed the surrounding environment, his eyes slightly fixed, and he saw two special tourists among the crowd waiting for the performance.
Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan, why are they here too? Did they just arrive?
"Why did Qianluo suddenly want to watch the performance again?" Zhu Fujingguang lowered his eyes, not sure whether a certain high school student noticed him, and retracted them before the other party noticed him.
"Since we're here now." Hasegawa Yu's eyes drifted to the left, "No, we can't waste the ticket money."
"Really?" Zhu Fujingguang showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, "I thought Qian Luo wanted to come back to see someone."
Hasegawa Yu: "OoO!"
Zhu Fujingguang: “……▼-▼”
Hasegawa Yu tried to save the situation, "I came here specifically to play with my senior today, I definitely didn't make an appointment with anyone else!"
He is loyal!
Knowing that he wouldn't understand his roundabout probing, Zhu Fujingguang asked directly, "Does Qian Luo know Kudo Shinichi?"
Seeing that the situation had failed miserably and that he could no longer conceal it, Hasegawa Yoshino nodded, then shook his head.
He knew Shinichi, but Shinichi... This week's Shinichi only approached him at the beginning for the children from Noah's orphanage, and they had no further contact afterwards.
Now that he was wearing a disguise, it was even more impossible for Kudo Shinichi to recognize him.
Seeing this, Zhu Fujingguang raised an eyebrow. "Does Qian Luo know about the relationship between Bourbon and the Kudo family?"
Hasegawa Yu nodded again, then shook his head.
In the fourth episode, he knew that the relationship between the two sides was very bad, but in this episode, Brother Ling never mentioned it to him in detail.
Zhu Fushiki Kagemitsu smiled, "Chira, you can't escape reality by keeping silent. Does Bourbon know that you know Kudo Shinichi?"
"I don't know... probably." Hasegawa Yu was not sure.
Brother Ling has a pervertedly smart brain. Maybe even if he never mentions it, we can figure it out!
“…”
Suspecting that Koujinran didn't know this information, Morobushi Kagemitsu decisively skipped over it and asked, "What does Chiro want to do with Kudo Shinichi?"
"Just, just..." Hasegawa Yu stammered, lowered his head, put his hands behind his back, and scratched the ground with his toes.
After a while, he secretly glanced at the black-haired man with phoenix eyes, and his voice became lower and lower, "...I want to get to know him, exchange contact information or something."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Fu Jingguang's lips curled up a few centimeters, and his voice was gentle, "Oh? Qian Luo also wants to chat with that high school student online every day and be 'loyal' to that high school student?"
"And then go out and 'play' with that high school kid?"
From, from calling Shinichi by his name to calling him "that high school student"!
Hasegawa Yu shrank his neck, "Shinichi is a little different from the seniors."
In fact, he hadn't planned it at all.
Noah had the message that the fourth version of Shinichi left for Shinichi, whose memory had not yet been recovered. After taking it out, he wanted to see Shinichi's reaction before deciding what to do next.
"Hmm... turns out I'm not the last one."
Everyone calls him Shinichi.
Morofushi Kagemitsu said in a rather meaningful tone, bringing up the issue of breaking the law and discipline that young people are concerned about, "Chira, that high school student is a minor, and Mao Li Ran is his childhood sweetheart."
He tilted his head and added, his gray-blue eyes and handsome facial features making him look innocent, "One hundred percent heterosexual."
“!!!”
Hasegawa Yu's eyes widened, and he wanted to pounce on him immediately to make him retract his words. He even forgot to lower his voice, "Senior!"
He was visibly irritated and embarrassed, his hands clenched into fists at his sides. "I absolutely, absolutely, absolutely don't have the thoughts you described!"
Hasegawa Yuu's expression was serious. "I just wanted to get to know Shinichi. My thoughts about him are the same as when I was chatting with my senior online."
All this is to help you restore your memory!
The curve of Zhu Fujingguang's mouth gradually straightened, "Really?"
It was indeed a simple online chat.
Without waiting for the young man's response, he immediately said, "Let's go. I don't want to watch the show anymore."
Although Kudo Shinichi had never actually met him, he could definitely tell he was a member of the organization. Unless absolutely necessary, Morifushi Kagemitsu didn't want to come into the sight of this "Moriarty."
Finding a sufficient and legitimate reason for not wanting to watch the show, the black-haired man with phoenix eyes took a step forward and said, "The next venue is the luminous jellyfish, right?"
Hasegawa Yu: “?”
Vaguely sensing that his senior seemed angry... or perhaps unhappy, Hasegawa Yu quickly followed his pace and tentatively called out, "Senior?"
"Yeah." Zhu Fu Jingguang responded in a normal tone.
Hasegawa Yu scratched his head, feeling distressed. Did he do something wrong unconsciously to offend his senior?
Recalling their previous conversation, he tentatively asked, "Senior, do you also have a bad relationship with Shinichi?"
It's not impossible that Senior and Brother Ling are childhood friends.
"Normally." Zhu Fujingguang kept walking. "We haven't met each other formally."
"Oh." After hearing the man's answer, Hasegawa Yu continued to try to figure out the reason.
I can't figure it out.
He simply attacked, "Senior, are you unhappy? If I did something wrong, you can tell me and I will definitely change."
Zhu Fujingguang: "No, it's not Qianluo's problem."
Seeing this, Hasegawa Yuu became more and more confused, but he did not give up. He changed the subject and said, "Senior, do you know why the sea is blue?"
Zhu Fujingguang, who slowed down his pace, finally cast a glance, "."
Hasegawa Yu took the initiative to answer, raising one hand to open and close it in sync with his words, "Because the fish can spit bubbles, blue~blue~"
Morobushi Kagemitsu was touched by the cuteness but kept a straight face: "..."
Vaguely sensing the man's hesitation, Hasegawa Yu continued, "I'm sometimes a bit dumb and can't tell the truth from lies, so I hope you can tell me directly if you have anything to say. I will believe it!"
Zhu Fujing's eyes flickered, "Qianluo is like this, what should I do if I get cheated?"
"Since I unconditionally believe what others say is true, it means I am ready to be deceived."
Hasegawa Yuu is very open-minded. "If you want to be a good person or meet a good person, you must first treat others as good people. It is normal to be deceived occasionally. But good people still make up the majority of people in this world~"
Through the young man's beautiful green eyes, Zhu Fu Jingguang seemed to see the scorching orange-gold color underneath, which burned straight into his heart.
He shifted his gaze back to the road ahead without answering.
Hasegawa Yu was really unsure of his attitude, so he blinked and attacked again, changing his address to something closer to him.
"Brother Jingguang, can't you really tell me why you are suddenly unhappy?"
"Brother Jingguang and I are out having fun, how can I let you go back in a bad mood?"
Zhu Fu Jingguang's heart moved.
"It's my own problem."
After a moment, he slowly explained, half-seriously, "Meeting Kudo Shinichi reminded me of something that made me feel bad."
"I will be careful not to mention him in front of Brother Jingguang in the future." Hasegawa Yu's eyes lit up.
Brother Jingguang has changed the way he calls Shinichi.
Consciously having solved the problem that made someone "unhappy", Hasegawa Yu was about to say something else when his ear tip moved slightly and he keenly heard some different sounds.
He suddenly turned around and saw a winding stream of water flowing out from under the tightly closed door of the mermaid venue he had just left, wetting a small area of the ground nearby and gradually spreading outward.
Hasegawa Yu turned around and subconsciously took a step in that direction.
Zhu Fujingguang, who also noticed something strange, grabbed his arm and stopped him from moving forward.
"Brother Jingguang..."
The next second, the entire aquarium was plunged into darkness, with only the sound of water flowing slowly within the glass curtain walls of the major venues.
【Shinichi and Miss Ran are fine. 】
Noah's Ark, who had just returned from browsing the two high school students' phones, spoke up in time. [Shinichi led everyone away as soon as cracks appeared in the water tank. The other tourists also hurriedly evacuated at their own pace.]
After all, they are from Beika Town. They face these things every day just like drinking water. The residents here have long been accustomed to it and have their own escape tricks.
After hearing what the artificial intelligence said, Hasegawa Yu felt relieved.
Zhu Fu Jingguang frowned, "Qianluo, let's first..."
"Boom—"
Before the man could finish his words, the ground of the aquarium in the darkness shook and a deafening explosion sounded.
"Boom—"
[The bomber was caused by the aquarium director's personal vendetta.]
Very impressive! Noah's Ark, having figured out the reason in just a few minutes, provided the mermaid with information. [It's said that the bomber wanted to blow up the entire aquarium because they couldn't reach an agreement on the ownership of the venue. No one could get it.]
The bomber placed the bomb in a hidden location through the internal employee passage, so no one discovered his arrangement.
"Xiaoyou, I can't remotely stop the timed plastic bombs. You and Scotland should leave before they spread to the entire stadium."
Stepping on the accumulated water that spread into the passage, Hasegawa Yu suddenly stopped where he was.
People can evacuate, but what about the fish?
The walls collapsed, the glass curtain wall shattered, and without water, where would all the fish in the aquarium swim?
He can accept the death caused by big fish eating small fish in the marine food chain, but he cannot accept the unnecessary death caused by human factors!
"You disgusting bad human." Hasegawa Yu was angry.
Zhu Fu Jingguang was confused, "Qian Luo?"
"Brother Jingguang, you go first." Hasegawa Yu took off his down jacket and stuffed it into his arms. "I... have something to go back for. Don't worry, I can protect myself."
The mermaid has the duty to protect the sea. With so many fish, he can't just stand by and watch them die.
The aquarium advertises that the water flows inside the major venues are interconnected, and there are pipes at the bottom that connect to the sea. He only needs to guide the fish to escape through the pipes.
"Just like summoning Nemo, whoosh whoosh I'll be back in no time!"
Hasegawa Yuu steeled himself and tried to persuade the man who was holding his arm, "Brother Jingguang, I won't joke about my own safety."
As time passed, the water beneath their feet rose to their ankles. In the dark corridor, they could hardly see their hands in front of them. Only the emergency light not far away was emitting a dim green light.
With his back to the emergency light, Zhu Fujing looked at the pair of green eyes that seemed to be glowing faintly, which was not sure whether it was caused by the emergency light or cosmetic contact lenses.
It was full of unshakable meaning, and he would not change his mind no matter what the situation was.
Realizing this, Zhu Fujingguang clenched his hand for a moment, and the thought of forcibly taking the person away came to his mind, but after a few seconds, he let go and said, "I understand."
The black-haired man with phoenix eyes took a step back, his figure blending into the darkness of the corridor, making it difficult to see clearly. "The bomb waits for no one. Xiaoyou, just do whatever you want."
Hasegawa Yuu didn't care too much, "Brother Jingguang, you have to get out quickly too."
“…”
Seeing the man running away in an instant, Zhu Fu Jingguang stood still, his entire face shrouded in shadow, and his facial features blurred.
After confirming that there was nothing inside, the down jacket, as brightly colored as the young man's, was thrown to the ground, floating on the surface of the cold water.
Ignoring the water that had unknowingly risen to his knees, Zhu Fujingguang checked the various equipment he was carrying and turned on the shielding device against artificial intelligence.
[The Scotland location has disappeared from its previous position.]
Following the mermaid's instructions, Noah's Ark, who was secretly monitoring Morofushi Jingguang, reported truthfully, "The remaining 127 tourists are still on their way out of the aquarium."
So Brother Jingguang didn’t believe what he said at all!
Hasegawa Yu, who was already in the aquarium directing other fish to escape from the pipe to the sea, puffed up his cheeks, controlled the range of the sound waves, and blew up another barrier net outside the pipe.
"Boom—"
The sound of explosions was heard again, becoming muffled after being filtered through seawater, like thunder in the sky.
No, he was too slow to notify each venue one by one and could not keep up with the speed of the bomb explosion. Hasegawa Yu pursed his lips.
The sound waves can instantly cover the entire venue. Humans cannot hear them, but these fish can understand them.
But sound waves can cause resonance damage to the internal organs of the human body...Hasegawa Yu gently touched the place where the shell necklace was hanging on his neck, and Jingguang brother didn't know where he was chasing him.
"Boom—"
"Disgusting villainous human!"
Hasegawa Yu, who still maintained his human form in the aquarium, punched the air in front of him, "Why do you want to involve innocent fish in your feud?"
At this moment, a manta ray swam up to him, moving neither fast nor slow.
"Hey, grandpa, why haven't you left yet?"
Hasegawa Yu anxiously pushed it toward the passageway. "I understand. I'll be careful of human bombs...Grandpa, please help me take these little fish away first."
After the elderly manta ray swam around the mermaid from another world, it was followed by a school of colorful clownfish and disappeared into the depths of the passage leading to the sea.
Sensing that the water level in the aquarium was dropping and time was running out, Hasegawa Yu once again touched the shell necklace through his clothes and closed his eyes as if he had made up his mind.
The mermaid's singing can also spread instantly in any place with sea water, and covering the entire venue is not a problem.
But human ears cannot hear the frequency of sound waves, but singing can be heard.
When the mermaid does not have magical transformation, humans can simply hear the lyrics of the song and will not cause mental or physical harm, but marine creatures can understand the meaning of the mermaid's song.
"Don't worry, Xiaoyou. I'll monitor the tourists' movements at all times." The reliable AI sighed silently and cleaned up the mess for the mermaid.
As for Scotland, the only country that cannot be located...
Never mind, if you ask, just say it's magic, Yanji and Ling will help explain it to you!
Hasegawa Yu opened his eyes and slowly opened his lips. His clear voice spread across the sea and drifted off into the distance. "In the distance, I heard a voice calling out, gently waking me from my sleep..." [Note 1]
In case of emergency, Zhu Fujingguang, who had magically carried a portable underwater breathing apparatus with him, heard the singing coming from across the sea water.
It was hazy, as if covered by a layer of fog, and in a trance one could not tell whether it was an auditory hallucination or a real voice.
Schools of fish seemed to have received some instructions, ignoring the existence of natural enemies and the food chain, and swam in a certain direction together.
Hiding his inner shock at what he had witnessed, before Zhu Fu Jingguang could find the source of the sound, he froze in his tracks, a sharp pain emanating from his brain, "Ugh!"
The black-haired and phoenix-eyed man held his forehead as if he couldn't bear it. As the song played, fragmented images came to his mind.
"...Love cannot be reborn in the sea, leaving only those endless sorrows..." [Note 1]
Zhu Fujingguang tried hard to calm himself down and saw a giant cruise ship that looked familiar in the chaotic scene.
This is... a cruise ship that belongs exclusively to Karasuma Renya!
"...in that gorgeous and beautiful ocean, new life will not disappear, transcending the dark world..." [Note 1]
However, the cruise ship, which could accommodate nearly 10,000 people, was gradually sinking to the sea surface, and flames kept flashing on the cruise ship.
People's screams, cries for help, sounds of scrambling for lifeboats, and the same song that was ringing in his ears now, all crowded into Zhu Fushi Jingguang's brain.
"No……"
Unable to bear the exploding amount of information any longer, the black-haired and phoenix-eyed man closed his eyes as if exhausted, his whole body sank downwards, and the respirator fell out of his mouth.
At the critical moment, a hand grabbed the respirator and stuffed it back in.
"Luckily, some fish saw where you are, Jingguang brother."
Hasegawa Yu put his hands under the man's arms and led him to the shore. "Brother Jingguang, I may not be suitable to come to the aquarium with you."
Something happens every time I come here.
[Zhufu Jingguang, current collapse value 55%.] Noah's Ark spoke at the right time.
Isn't the coma caused by memory recovery?
Hasegawa Yu dragged the man to safe land and patted his face worriedly, "Brother Jingguang?"
No drowning.
Yu didn't understand. Hasegawa Yu asked the AI to call an ambulance while saying dejectedly, "Brother Jingguang, let's just chat online honestly from now on."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Fu Jingguang's eyelids moved slightly, and he suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.
The severe pain deep in his brain seemed like an illusion, and even the memories that caused him to fall into a coma had mostly dissipated. Only the scene of the sinking cruise ship was most clearly imprinted in his mind.
"Brother Jingguang!" Hasegawa Yu was startled and observed his expression, "Are you okay? The ambulance will be here soon."
"No need to call an ambulance."
After Zhu Fujingguang sorted out the inexplicable memory scenes, he looked deeply at the young man who was soaking wet but not at all embarrassed, and said, "Don't chat online either."
Hasegawa Yu: “?”
That’s not the point!
