"Brother Jingguang, first of all, I solemnly declare that I really have no intention of killing Mr. Okiya!"

"I understand."

Zhu Fujingguang entered the room, closed the door, and cast a condescending gaze upon the unconscious man lying on the ground, as if he were looking at a dead object. "Xiaoyou, manslaughter is not a crime."

At this moment, the only outsider in the room was unconscious, so he also changed back to calling the other person by his real name.

The black-haired, phoenix-eyed man had a look on his face that said, "Good kids just get scared easily." His voice was gentle, "Besides, I've already said it before. In the United States, residents have the right to kill any robbers who break into their homes."

“This powder…”

He paused, "Mimiyan must have wanted to do something to Xiaoyou, which is why he ended up like this. He deserves it."

After patiently finding an excuse for the good boy to get away with it, Zhu Fu Jingguang finally gave him some praise, "Xiaoyou's skills have improved. Very good."

Hasegawa Yu held his head and said, "Brother Jingguang, you've got the whole point wrong!"

"Brother Jingguang, what I mean is, I don't want to kill him."

Hasegawa Yu reworded, intending to ensure that his meaning was clearly understood by a certain senior, "Mr. Okiya must live."

"Really?" Zhu Fujingguang stopped rolling up his sleeves, and there was a hint of coldness in his words.

"Xiaoyou, do you want to interrogate him? Torture him? Mind control him? Hmm... The organization's brainwashing procedures are quite complete. Sending this guy to the brainwashing room is a bit troublesome, but it's not a big deal. I can handle it."

This is a huge problem! Hasegawa Yu shook his head frantically.

As if sensing the murderous intent directed at him, the unconscious Akai Shuichi's eyelids twitched.

Seeing this, Zhu Fujingguang took the electric baton from Hasegawa Yu with light but irresistible force. Before he squatted down, he thought of something and looked at it carefully.

After a moment, he put the stun gun back into Hasegawa Yu's hand, adjusted the angle, put his hand on the back of the young man's hand, and was about to stab someone with this hand.

"etc!"

Hasegawa Yu pulled his hand back with all his strength, "Mr. Okiya has already endured two electric shocks in a short period of time. Another shock could be fatal!

He was also given an anesthetic injection. Don't worry, Jingguang, Mr. Okiya won't wake up so soon."

Upon hearing this, Zhufu Jingguang let go of his hand, then lowered his head to look at Akai Shuichi's condition, with a look of regret between his brows.

Seeing this, Hasegawa Yu immediately took a big step back with the stun gun.

"It's worthy of being a weapon produced by Glenlivet. The quality control is as good as ever." Zhu Fujing said without changing his expression.

Why do I feel like if the stun gun didn't have a fingerprint locking function, Jingguang would have shocked Shuichi himself?

Hasegawa Yuu probed, "Brother Jingguang, you actually know what I mean, right?"

Akai Shuichi really can't be killed!

Zhu Fujingguang pretended to be confused, "What do you mean? In my opinion, Xiaoyou is too soft-hearted."

So you had already understood that he didn't want to kill anyone, right?

Hasegawa Yu puffed out his cheeks, "Brother Jingguang, if you're willing, could you help me move Mr. Okiya to the sofa?"

It's not a good idea to keep people lying on the ground.

Zhu Fu Jingguang stood there without moving.

Thinking that his senior had refused, Hasegawa Yu didn't care. He put away the stun gun, bent down and tried to lift the person who was tied into a long strip and lean him against himself.

Since he had no arms to put on his shoulders to apply force, he had to change his posture to move the person, "Hey!"

Following this force, the unconscious Akai Shuichi's head leaned towards the young man's neck, his lips close to that white skin.

Zhu Fujingguang frowned when he saw this scene.

Ten seconds later, Shuichi Akai was thrown onto the sofa like a sandbag.

"Thank you, Jingguang brother~" Hasegawa Yu looked at the man with black hair and phoenix eyes with bright eyes, "Jingguang brother is really strong."

He actually carried Xiuyi-ge onto his shoulder with one hand!

"...Nothing." Zhu Fujingguang brushed off the dust on his shoulders casually, "How do you plan to deal with this guy, Xiaoyou?"

Hasegawa Yu blinked, "Uh..."

"Um?"

While stealing a glance at his expression, Hasegawa Yu whispered, "Brother Jingguang, I want to handle the follow-up matters concerning Mr. Okiya myself."

Zhu Fu Jingguang narrowed his eyes.

Hasegawa Yu raised his hand cautiously, "I will ensure my own safety."

Zhu Fu Jingguang's gaze was fixed on him, still silent, with little emotion visible in his blue-gray eyes.

"If Brother Jingguang is worried, can you tie Mr. Okiya up again?"

“…”

Ten minutes later.

After returning to the safe house to get the tools and handcuffing the man, Zhu Fujingguang put the keys to the two tools in his pocket and asked, "Where did you learn this method of tying people up, Xiaoyou?"

Not like Zero's style.

This time, Hasegawa Yuu learned his lesson, "Noah told me!"

The matter of artificial intelligence had long been a tacit secret among them. Apart from the others who had actively sought the help of artificial intelligence to restore their memories, this was the first time that Morofushi Jingguang had heard Hasegawa Yu mention him.

Zhu Fu Jingguang stared at the person in front of him.

Hasegawa Yu looked back calmly.

After a few seconds, Zhu Fujingguang was the first to look away, "Tell me when this guy wakes up."

"Okay~☆"

“…”

Zhu Fujing took a look at the unfamiliar equipment piled in the corner of the entrance, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he left the apartment without stopping.

After leaving the house, he first glanced at the time. Ignoring the fact that it was already early morning in Japan, he immediately made a phone call, "I don't believe you guys don't know the real reason for his coming to the United States."

The unexpected words made the person on the other end of the phone pause for a few breaths, "Hiro, what happened?"

Zhu Fujingguang: "I helped Xiaoyou deal with the aftermath of a person."

"Uh, who? Is he still alive? How did Hiro deal with it? Dismembered?"

Zhu Fujingguang didn't answer You Xunran's three questions. He changed the subject without any warning, just like when he was on the phone, and said, "Hang up."

"? Wait, Hiro?!"

Leaving his young son Xunran on the other side of the ocean worried, Zhu Fu Jingguang snorted and walked towards the safe house downstairs.

“Dongdong——”

At this moment, his heart and brain felt strange, making Zhu Fujingguang unsure whether to hold his forehead or touch his chest first.

Fortunately, the drowsiness in his brain and the pain in his heart only lasted for a moment, and the latter was almost negligible. Zhu Fu Jingguang quickly stabilized his body.

"Buzz—"

The phone vibrated again.

【The target has changed, the mission location has been changed. ——Gin】

Zhu Fu Jingguang lowered his eyes, felt his current physical condition, and moved his fingertips slightly.

[Understood, it will pass soon. —Scotch]

On the other side, Hasegawa Yu diligently put a small pillow under the head of the unconscious Akai Shuichi, took out the medical kit to help him treat the electric shock injury, and then took out a blanket to cover him.

After doing all this, Hasegawa You breathed a sigh of relief, stood beside the sofa with his hands on his hips, and looked at the man who was forced to bend his long legs and squeeze on the sofa, looking a little aggrieved for some reason, and said distressedly, "Hmm..."

A few minutes later, he dug out a folding bed from the study.

The coffee table was moved away, the bed was folded and placed next to the sofa, and Hasegawa Yu was busy making room for people.

Halfway through moving, he unexpectedly discovered that the sofa could be pulled out to become a sofa bed.

“…”

After a lot of trouble, Hasegawa Yu finally covered Akai Shuichi with a blanket while he lay on the sofa. "I don't know when Mr. Akai will wake up."

Two hours later, Shuichi Akai's breathing slowed down and Hasegawa Yu waited patiently.

Four hours later, Akai Shuichi didn't move, Hasegawa Yu was spinning in place, checking his breathing, waiting patiently, and cooking dinner by the way.

Six hours later, Shuichi Akai was still in a coma. Hasegawa Yu anxiously checked his vital signs, waited anxiously, and put the dinner he cooked for him into a warmer.

Eight hours later, Aka...Hasegawa Yu could no longer sit still.

"Brother Zhenping, when does someone who's been hit by an electric baton usually wake up?"

After confirming that his senior in Japan was available to answer the call, Hasegawa Yu quickly dialed to inquire.

"Six to eight hours... maybe."

It was almost eight hours later, and Hasegawa Yu pressed on, "After being struck twice in a short time by an electric baton and then given an anesthetic injection, when will he wake up?"

"Don't be afraid, Xiaoyou, just let Scotland take care of it."

Hasegawa Yu was horrified, "So someone will die?!"

"Ahem." Matsuda Jinpei cleared his throat. "If something really happened, I would have… Hagi, why did you hit me?"

"People with good physical fitness can wake up in about ten hours." Matsuda Jinpei returned to the topic, "But it's possible to sleep for a whole day. Don't worry, Xiaoyou."

Hasegawa Yu sniffed, "Then I'll wait a little longer."

"Did something happen to Xiaoyou? Why did you use a stun gun?"

"Nothing." Hasegawa Yuu said guiltily, "It's all part of the plan."

Matsuda Jinpei had heard him mention the backup plan, but didn't ask any further questions. "I've also put the supply of anesthetic needles in the box containing the bombs. Xiaoyou, have Scotland help you pack it. Don't turn around and stab yourself."

"I'm not that stupid!"

Hasegawa Yu's ears twitched slightly, as if he heard Ling's voice mocking Lei, saying that he deserved it.

Thinking that the new wine name was from another organization, he didn't think much about it, "I'm fine. Bye, Jinpei-nii, and Kenji-nii and Ling-nii~"

Two hours passed after I hung up the phone before the man on the sofa bed finally showed signs of waking up.

The moment he regained consciousness, Shuichi Akai felt a little sore in his body, but he felt warm all over.

There was another breath in the room besides his, right next to his head, not concealed at all.

After analyzing the situation, Shuichi Akai stopped pretending to be unconscious and slowly opened his eyes, only to be met with the surprised expression of the orange-haired young man.

"Mr. Akai, you're awake!"

Akai Shuichi: "..."

He looked down and saw a thick blanket covering him.

After struggling secretly, Akai Shuichi realized that he was tied up and couldn't move at all. He raised his eyes, his green eyes were cold and cruel, "I underestimated you."

Facing the pair of green eyes that concealed a ferocity and brutality like a lone wolf even in a low position, Hasegawa Yu, who had long been accustomed to the aura of men without disguises, was cheerful alone.

"Brother Xiuyi made the prediction in advance!"

Akai Shuichi: "."

Did he know in the fourth round that he would be tricked like this?

"Mr. Akai, let's have a good chat."

Hasegawa Yu didn't beat around the bush. "What are you suspicious about? I haven't had any contact with you before, and the message couldn't be faked."

Relying on the strong strength of his waist and abdomen to sit up, Shuichi Akai noticed that all the equipment on his body had been removed. He couldn't help but look at the orange-haired young man again, but did not answer his question.

"Brother Xiuyi also told me the location and binding method of the equipment." Hasegawa Yu explained the facts to him. "If all this is false, how did I get this information?"

"Indeed." Akai Shuichi slowly agreed with him, "What you said makes sense. Maybe I was overthinking it before."

Hasegawa Yu's eyes lit up.

[His micro-expression is off. Based on the contents of the T-03 plan, Akai Shuichi still doesn't believe it and is likely making other plans in his mind.]

Does it have to be so complicated?

Hasegawa Yu has a headache because the difficulty hasn't decreased at all!

"Young Master, can you untie me first?" Akai Shuichi was exhausted and let out a sigh. "If this continues, my arms and legs will become stiff."

As he spoke, the man moved his body, silently showing where he was tied up, suggesting that he was really uncomfortable.

However, in less than half a second, the artificial intelligence exposed his lie.

[Lies. The D-08 plan states that with Akai Shuichi's physical condition, being tied up for another day and night without food or water wouldn't be a problem.]

Hasegawa Yu refused, "I can't beat you, Mr. Akai, I'll leave it at that for now."

Akai Shuichi: "..."

Hasegawa Yu thought seriously and ruled out Rei-ge who somehow saw through magic. Kenji-ge and the others only received information about the other world and magic after they recovered their memories.

Something incredible is happening before you, you have to believe it even if you don’t want to!

Hasegawa Yu suddenly realized that he understood!

As humans in the world of detective stories, the most important thing is definitely logic and science. Unless their scientific logic is broken in person, these humans can always find scientific reasons to explain it.

Thinking of this, Hasegawa Yu was eager to try, "Mr. Akai, let's confirm first. Apart from the anesthetic injection, I didn't give you any other drugs. You can feel it, right?"

Akai Shuichi felt alert and said, "Of course."

He could still tell that.

"There's nothing in this living room that could cause an illusion. It's just an ordinary living room. Mr. Akai can see that, right?"

Hearing the words of the orange-haired young man, Shuichi Akai glanced around the living room calmly. His sniper's eyesight allowed him to see his equipment piled carelessly in the corner of the entrance.

“…I haven’t noticed anything unusual yet.”

Hasegawa Yu blinked his sincere eyes and said, "Mr. Akai, I can turn it over and show you what you want to see."

Keep it simple, make the way they communicate simple!

Akai Shuichi was increasingly confused about his actions, "What are you going to do?"

Hasegawa Yu pursed his lips and smiled, "Mr. Akai, I'll sing a song for you~"

Akai Shuichi: "?"

Five minutes later, a song that embodied the mermaid's innate power ended, and the lingering sound surrounding the living room gradually dissipated.

Hasegawa Yu looked at the black-haired, green-eyed man expectantly, "Mr. Akai, do you remember anything?"

Shuichi Akai closed his eyes and lowered his head slightly.

Chaotic memories quickly passed through his mind, leaving no trace. In the end, only one memory scene remained the clearest.

In his memory, he seemed to be in a dim aquarium, surrounded by Gin, Bourbon and other strange members of the organization.

This first-person memory is like experiencing it in person.

Akai Shuichi looked up, his eyes flashing.

From what he knew, no one should be able to make people hallucinate just by singing a cappella under such simple conditions.

Besides, since he has such ability, there is no reason to give him such an inexplicable "illusion".

"There's more than just science in the world, there's also magic~" Hasegawa Yuu winked at the man, "Isn't it magical?"

Recovering his composure, Akai Hide remained expressionless, "If that's the case, why don't you just let me recover all my memories?"

"Due to various reasons, I can only do what I did just now." Hasegawa Yu said carefully.

"Insufficient magic energy?"

"Mr. Akai may think so."

Hasegawa Yu, who himself didn't quite understand why these red team characters regained a little bit of their memories after hearing his singing, remained true to his original intention, "Then can we have a good chat, Mr. Akai?"

Akai Shuichi: "."

"I need to think about it."

Hasegawa Yu: "Okay."

[Scotland's Honkai value is constantly fluctuating.] Noah's Ark suddenly spoke, [But he's not in the safe house downstairs.]

Knowing what the mermaid wanted to ask, he continued: [Scotland has just completed the organization's mission and is located outside.]

What is brother Jingguang doing? I clearly promised him that I wouldn’t go on the mission if he wasn’t feeling well!

"!" Hasegawa Yu stood up and said, "Mr. Akai, please take your time to think about it. I have something to go out for."

"By the way, can I borrow Mr. Akai's car?"

Akai Shuichi: "??"

He showed weakness, "The car is fine. But young master, are you really not going to consider untying me first? I promise I won't do anything."

To this, Hasegawa Yu's answer was to cover him with the blanket that had slipped off, find a lumbar pillow to cushion his back, and turn on the TV.

"If Mr. Akai wants to change the channel, just call 'Little Gathering'."

As soon as the words fell, a voice assistant popped up on the Hisense J65H TV hanging on the wall, "I'm here."

Hasegawa Yutaka nodded, "Just like this."

Akai Shuichi: "..."

"Goodbye Mr. Akai, I'll be back soon."

Akai Shuichi: "."

After closing the apartment door, Hasegawa Yuu was worried, "Noah, is Jingguang brother in danger?"

[Not yet. He had just said goodbye to the rest of the organization before the Honkai Value fluctuated dramatically. Scotland has parked the car in a safer place.]

[However, New York at night is as chaotic as Beikacho, so I can't guarantee what will happen if things go on for a while.]

Hasegawa Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'll just go pick up Brother Jingguang."

Following the guidance of artificial intelligence, Hasegawa Yu successfully found the dark gray Mazda Rx-7.

The car's windows were covered with privacy film, so I couldn't see clearly what was going on inside the car. The doors were also locked from the inside. Fortunately, as long as there were no jammers, the AI wouldn't be a problem.

After opening the door, Hasegawa Yu got into the car and saw a man unconscious in the driver's seat.

"Brother Jingguang?"

The originally enclosed space was invaded by outsiders. Zhu Fu Jingguang frowned unconsciously, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, as if he was forcing himself to wake up.

"Brother Jingguang, it's me." Hasegawa Yu lowered his voice, "I'm here to take you back."

Hearing this voice, and a familiar and pleasant smell lingering around his body, Zhu Fu Jingguang, who was in a coma, gradually relaxed his body.

Hasegawa Yu took the opportunity to move the man to the passenger seat and fastened his seat belt. "Let's go!"

As for Mr. Akai's car...it's an emergency, come get it tomorrow.

Following Noah's Ark's instructions, Hasegawa Yu successfully drove the car back to the apartment after avoiding two sports car groups partying at the intersection, avoiding a street frequented by drug addicts, and dodging a car chase between three police officers and a gunfight between five gangs.

At this time, almost an hour had passed since Zhu Fu Jingguang fell into a coma.

The safety of the apartment complex was acceptable. After thinking about it, Hasegawa Yuya didn't bother carrying the person up. He laid the passenger seat flat and waited quietly for the person to wake up.

"We must tell Yan Er and the others this good news!"

Ten minutes later, Zhu Fu Jingguang suddenly opened his eyes, and with his chest beating violently, he saw one... two, three, four heads.

Three of the heads were looking at him through electronic screens.

Zhu Fujingguang: “……?”

The pain of shooting myself disappeared instantly.

"Is Komoro Fushimi awake? The operation was very successful~" Kenji Hagiwara came to the camera.

"There are no aftereffects," added Jinpei Matsuda.

Fūya Rei was serious, pretending that he was not the one enjoying the show.

Zhu Fu Jingguang:.

The only orange head on the scene was concerned, "Brother Jingguang, how are you feeling?"

Ignoring the shouting of the other three, Zhu Fu Jingguang decisively turned off the video call, "I... am fine."

He repeated each word carefully, "Very good."

I remembered everything now. It couldn't be better.

Hasegawa Yu was still worried and took a closer look. "But Jingguang brother, your ears and face are so red. Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

"No!" Zhu Fu Jingguang answered immediately.

Hasegawa Yu: “?”

"I mean, it might be the heater in the car." Zhu Fujingguang took a deep breath, "Xiaoyou, could you please not get so close to me?"

No, look at this face and think about what I said and did...

Zhufu Jingguang! What are you doing, Zhufu Jingguang!

Hasegawa Yu, who had been keeping a normal distance from him, said: "???"

"Oh." The orange-haired young man stepped back obediently, "Is this okay?"

"No... nothing."

Zhu Fujing held his forehead and closed his eyes. "I just woke up and my head is a little confused. Xiaoyou, just sit casually like before."

So Hasegawa Yu moved back from his position next to the car door and turned sideways to face the man, "Brother Jingguang, if you feel anything is wrong, please tell me immediately."

Zhu Fujingguang: "...Hmm."

He feels something is wrong. Can he tell me?

Oh my god, why did I even think of imprisoning someone? It would have been fine if I just thought about it, but I actually instigated Zero to carry it out!

And, he said so many weird and messy things!

Recalling the advice from his childhood friends and peers to "be careful with what you say and do" and "the mouth can cause trouble", Zhu Fujingguang, who seemed to be about to break down, groaned and couldn't help but raise his hands to cover his face.

"I'm fine."

The dark-haired, phoenix-eyed man's muffled voice drifted out from his palm, "I just... need to slowly sort out my memories, um."

"Okay." Hasegawa You, who was about to ask, waited obediently for his senior to tidy himself up.

After barely recovering, Zhu Fujingguang, with his ears even redder, looked at the person next to him, "Xiaoyou, I'm sorry, I said a lot of strange things before I recovered my memory..."

"It's okay, Jingguang brother." Hasegawa Yu tilted his head, a little puzzled, "I don't think what Jingguang said is strange."

He puffed up his cheeks and complained, as if he was acting like a spoiled child. "If you want to talk about weird, Mr. Okiya is the weird one. He always uses the wrong words!"

Yes, I almost forgot about Shuichi Akai.

Morofushi Kagemitsu tried to focus on another person, "How is Okiya Subaru?"

"He's awake, upstairs." Hasegawa Yu answered honestly, "I'm trying to find a way to start normal communication with him."

"Xiaoyou, do you need help?"

"No need, Jingguang brother."

Hasegawa Yu shook his head and stammered, "He... um... it's not appropriate for members of the organization to get close to him at the moment."

Zhu Fujingguang said nothing more, "I understand."

The car was silent for a few seconds.

"I'll get the information about the two different worlds from Zero and the others. Xiao, go up first, in case Subaru Okiya does something while no one is around."

After persuading the people to go up, Zhu Fu Jingguang sat in his original position with empty eyes. After a while, he covered his face again.

It's so shameful!

After returning to the safe house and spending some time to absorb all the information and the current situation, Zhu Fujingguang managed to gather himself together and smiled, "So, you're just going to watch me have fun?"

On the other end of the video call, the three heads that had just gathered together quickly dispersed.

"Komorobushi, I suddenly remembered that there's an email from Kabukicho that I haven't dealt with yet."

"Well, hagi, let me help you."

"Then I..."

"Zero." Zhu Fujingguang called out to the last person, his tone soft and slow, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

The blond man in the video call interface seemed to be stuck, his purple-gray eyes staring quietly in the direction of the camera.

After a few seconds, he sighed, "Hiro, welcome back."

"Yeah." Zhu Fu Jingguang's eyebrows curved, "I'll settle accounts with you three when I return to my country. There's no rush."

"Hey! I don't need to do that. I've been reminding Hiro!"

Zhu Fu Jingguang ignored him and hung up the phone.

After confirming that Xiaoyou was fine, he looked at the time again and tried to force himself to fall asleep.

As long as I fall asleep, I won’t always think about those messy words!

Zhu Fu Jingguang folded his hands on his abdomen and closed his eyes peacefully.

The moon, like a white jade plate, rose to the middle of the sky, casting a bright moonlight, penetrating the glass window that was blocked by the curtains, leaving only a crack, and falling on the clock hanging on the wall.

The clock hand, working non-stop for 24 hours, quietly points to the number 3.

On the bed, Zhu Fu Jingguang, who had his eyes closed peacefully, suddenly sat up, his blue-gray eyes extremely clear.

He successfully suffered from insomnia on the first night after recovering his memory.
