After Binding the Barrage, My Friend and I Wore Red and Black: Chapter 63
The conversation between Tsujimoto and the boss is still going on.
Although the conversation between the two became a little unfriendly due to some unpleasant things, Tsujimoto Shitoo still maintained a calm attitude.
He still wants to continue to explore things about his past, so far, the boss's attitude is very clear.
He was willing to tell him this, not because of so-called trust, but more of a temptation.
And Tsujimoto's performance also made BOSS very satisfied.
At least he confirmed that Tsujimoto Shito was indeed gradually recovering his memory, but he was a little wary of his attitude.
The silver-haired young man put his fingers on the glass, and his gaze landed casually in the corner.
He was thinking about what to say next.
"Don't be nervous, get involved."
Realizing that the other party was beginning to feel uneasy, the BOSS quickly comforted,
"I just want to confirm your current status, which will also facilitate our future cooperation."
"Cooperation?"
Tsujimoto felt a little funny,
"So you asked me to restore my memory, just to continue to squeeze me further?"
"It's not oppression, I just hope that we can return to the previous equal friendship." BOSS said warmly.
"Why do you think I will agree?" Tsujimoto said with a sneer.
"You don't have any handle on me, and what can I give you? I can't give you anything."
"Oh? Even that child is still indifferent to you?" BOSS smiled.
"That child?" Tsujimoto was stunned for a moment,
"what are you saying?"
"The child who has always been by your side is also your clone." BOSS continued,
"You should also know that your younger brother, Yuma Tsujimoto, can't prolong his lifespan, right?"
"…"
Tsujimoto fell into silence.
He actually knew it a long time ago.
After being devastated by experiments, the life expectancy from now to the next is probably only five years.
It's just that the two of them are generally silent about this matter.
"You care about him very much. For you, he is the only relative." BOSS said in a persuasive manner,
"I admit, it was my fault for not telling you about him at that time. But we did achieve remarkable research results, didn't we? If you are willing to continue working for us, then we will also help Yuma Tsujimoto cure him. The aftermath of the experiment."
…
Regarding Yuma Tsujimoto, it was indeed a rather complicated experience.
Although it is said that Tsujimoto Shito has always regarded Tsujimoto Yuma as his own younger brother, the relationship between them is actually more complicated than the so-called brother.
The first time they met was in the boss's laboratory.
After being forcibly brought back to the Black Organization by the BOSS, Tsujimoto no longer thought about escaping. He clearly knew that he could not escape from the boss's hands, but the reason why he chose to leave was not for his own safety.
He just hoped that the others would have time to leave quickly, after all, he was the man's main target.
It's just that the BOSS unexpectedly didn't express dissatisfaction with him.
"I know you don't want me to do that kind of thing, involving people." BOSS said to him condescendingly,
"I won't kill you, and I won't hurt you. But you must join the Black Organization—you have no other choice."
But what can he do in the Black Organization? Although his fighting skills are not bad, his experience in the management of the organization is not low, and he even became a so-called high-level cadre, but he has never had the so-called freedom.
The boss's attitude towards him has always been subtle, and he seems to trust him, but he has never been allowed to join in critical matters.
He is still obsessed with the project of immortality, and has restarted the Pandora project, hoping that Tsujimoto will participate together.
As a member of the Pandora Project, the person who knows the most about this task is probably also him.
Tsujimoto agreed.
He had no other choice, and he didn't do things like compromise once or twice.
He even thinks that it is not surprising that today's men let him be a drug test product, although he did not do so.
"Being an experimental subject is not a good choice. And there is a high probability that your body will become increasingly fragile and your lifespan will be short. All in all, I will not let you become an experimental subject, involving people."
The man had made such a promise to him, and although Tsujimoto found it a little funny, he didn't say anything else.
Rather, since the man has changed, he has never completely entrusted his trust to each other.
What a man says and does is not what he expects to see. After becoming the boss of the Black Organization, he seemed to be devoured by the soul named Karasuma Renye, and he could never go back.
When he became a member of the Black Organization, he also received the code name [Gin], and he was respected by everyone as before in the pharmaceutical factory. Probably noticing the BOSS's unusual attitude towards him, Tsujimoto Shito has also gained a lot of attention.
He was conducting drug research in the research department with everyone, and Tsujimoto also got a certain message clearly from some processes—
There are definitely more than the two experimental subjects of the two children he saw that day in this world.
It is impossible for a man to display all the experimental subjects in the room, he must also hide other experimental subjects, and the child is likely to suffer extremely painful torture.
But it was the X organization that carried out this experiment in name. He was ordered to be the leader of the X organization, and he was naturally qualified to see the experimental subject.
But he can't do anything.
The man seemed to give up hiding from him, he noticed the change in Tsujimoto's attitude towards him, and the two gradually became reticent and stopped communicating.
"Can I see the child?"
Tsujimoto Toshito had given such a question, but could not get a corresponding answer.
"No, Mr. Tsujimoto-"
His leader cautiously said,
"The boss said only you can't see him, sorry, although we don't really want to hide from you, but..."
"I understand."
Tsujimoto sighed deeply, but in the end he didn't say anything.
"If you don't want it, then forget it."
The main reason is that he is afraid that he will be soft-hearted, so he dare not let them meet, right?
Tsujimoto thought it was absurd. If the other party no longer regards him as a friend, why should he be forced to join the black organization? Is it because he is afraid that he will tell others about it, and he needs to continue to serve himself? ?
But if the other party still regards him as a friend, he will not continue to do things that he clearly does not want to see, such as human experiments, and another example, forcing him to become the leader of the X organization, forcing him to support. own business.
This is not how friends get along.
In other words, that man is no longer the man he knew at first.
Even if he knew this clearly, Tsujimoto couldn't make any changes. As a [Gin], he has a high status in the organization, he enjoys a lot of command power, and even has a large salary income, but this approach does not make him happy.
But the kid he adopted was doing pretty well.
The child named [Black Zejin] may have been abandoned by the family, or it may have left the family due to some accidents. In short, he never talked about his past, but he never showed any weakness.
He became a member of the Black Organization, worked hard from the bottom, and rarely appeared in his field of vision.
This is probably the way he chooses to live, but Tsujimoto has no objection.
Some people are born habitually living in the dark, it's not a bad thing, it's just a way of life. Tsujimoto would not deny this approach, although he would not agree with it either.
As for the boss...
After discovering Tsujimoto's usual submissive words, he gradually became more at ease with Tsujimoto, and even handed over more power to him.
Is this a show? ?
Tsujimoto was silent, but in the end he didn't say anything.
But for too long he had doubted what had happened in the first place. He didn't know why the BOSS came to him. Except for those who were sheltered by him, almost no one knew that he went to Italy.
Could it be that those people betrayed themselves?
No...it shouldn't.
But the reality is often more cruel than imagined.
When Tsujimoto was sorting out employee files, he accidentally discovered several familiar old faces. And these old faces were originally his employees who worked in the X organization, and they all swore that they would hide and never return to the X organization.
But they still came back.
"The main reason is that the boss really gave a lot of money!"
One of the old employees replied with great dissatisfaction,
"We also want to live! We also want to make money! You can't stop us from doing anything if you don't want to make money yourself??"
"Shiren, although I'm sorry, but we really didn't mean it. After all, you know the end of going against the boss, right?"
"It might be a good thing for you if we confessed you. If you think about it, where can you go even if you leave? We can't live in the X organization without you."
"Walking people, even if it's for us, wouldn't it be good to stay?"
…
Yes, what can he stop?
He just gave them money to get them out of here, and they also have their own choices.
Tsujimoto never forced them, and he finally chose to condone their whereabouts.
But these indulgences eventually became the shackles that bound him.
"I understand."
Tsujimoto didn't speak any more, he just turned to leave, the shadow fell on his shoulder and gradually settled.
With that man's ability, as long as he throws a little bait, he can find those [companions] who once stood by Tsujimoto Toto. He can get the news of Tsujimoto Toto for sure, as if Tsujimoto Toto has always been with him. around the same.
As for Tsujimoto, there was no secret from the very beginning.
Tsujimoto Shitou knew exactly what they were thinking.
They do have a deep relationship with Tsujimoto, but the relationship has been based on money from the beginning, and they have never had a real friend between them.
Or, it was just his self-confessed friend.
However, it doesn't matter.
Even if he leaves the Black Organization, where can he go?
As long as the BOSS is still alive, it is impossible for him to have the so-called freedom.
BOSS's eyes will always be on him, no matter where he goes, he can't break free from that shackle.
Sure enough, he still can't go anywhere...
…
However, such days did not last long.
When a person has a clear goal, Tsujimoto will always have the motivation to live.
For example—meet the subject again.
It seems that the experimental subject also took DNA from his own body for re-engraving. Tsujimoto Shitoto only got his news from other people's mouths, and he didn't even know where the child was.
He wanted to see the child once.
Living in a laboratory for so long, you can't even see sunlight. He obviously has the ability to think and five senses, but he can never live like a normal person.
There are always some people in this world who are like this, and it is a more tragic fate than him.
Taking out the key that he had managed to steal, Tsujimoto opened the door of the laboratory.
The time is 12 am, and no one will go back to the basement again at this time. He poured a lot of alcohol into the deputy minister, and took the key from his waist while the other party was drunk.
The door was opened, and a long and narrow corridor could be seen.
At the end of the corridor, there is a more inconspicuous door.
"Crack."
The key finally opened the door, and a faint light fell into the room.
The silver-haired child was curled up on the cramped laboratory bed. He was half curled up, and only moved a little when he heard the sound.
With just a little light at the door, he could clearly see the pair of blue eyes that were very similar to himself, as well as a trace of confusion floating in the pupils.
Tsujimoto's fingers holding the flashlight tightened sharply.
His heart was beating wildly, and he wanted to say something for a while, but in the end he couldn't say anything.
This child should be the test item that the boss told me.
I didn't expect it to be such a small child... and looking at his appearance, it seems that he has endured a lot of hardships, as if it will shatter with a slight squeeze.
"Who are you?"
The child spoke first. He quietly looked at Tsujimoto, without fear, but without any other ups and downs.
It's like feelings are stripped away, or completely gone.
That was the first time Tsujimoto saw Yuma.
The fragile glassware trapped in the cramped laboratory is also his closest family.
…
"All in all, that's about it."
Tsujimoto Yuma took a sip of water and continued,
"I'm not actually Sheren's younger brother, but I am indeed a part of him, but for some reason Sheren's appearance doesn't change anymore, so he keeps his velvet appearance in his twenties."
"Experimental product of the X organization?? This..."
"That's really not the memory I want to recall." Tsujimoto Yuzhen tightened his fingers slightly, and there was a bit of gloom in his eyes.
"But people always have to learn to face the facts that they didn't want to face. My physical condition has always been very bad, and it has something to do with the experiments at that time."
"…"
"I'm fine now, don't worry." Tsujimoto Yuma shrugged,
"But I can't live for a few years, right? According to the calculations made by me and Shiren, I may have a life expectancy of up to five years in the future. It is very rare for a test product to live for such a long time... Hey!? What kind of eyes are you looking at?? This kind of thing is nothing to be sad about, right?"
…
Is there a possibility that your reaction is actually quite wrong? ?
"Feel sorry."
Zhu Fu Jingguang shook his head and held his hand tightly at the same time,
"I just didn't expect it."
As a test subject, Tsujimoto Yuma couldn't live for long, and Zhufu Jingguang began to vaguely perceive this.
During the time they were together, he could also feel that Tsujimoto Yuma's physical condition was getting worse and worse, but at first he just thought it was because Tsujimoto Yuma's body was naturally weak, but he didn't expect it to be because of this...
"Actually, if you think about it carefully, there may be more people in this world who are more unfortunate than me, and some people can't even see the sun rising the next day."
Looking at the two who fell into silence, Tsujimoto Yuma spoke slowly,
"People are always going to die, everyone is sand that gets hit in the hourglass, and I just happen to be able to see the scale on the hourglass."
"I'm not really sad, but happy to be able to live with my brother for five years."
Tsujimoto Yuma has never been afraid of death, from beginning to end.
Shiren discussed this topic with him when he was a child. About his lifespan, Tsujimoto Shitoto told him from the beginning.
"You may not be able to live as long as a normal person. I can tell you the next lifespan. Of course, you can choose not to listen." The silver-haired man said solemnly,
"The choice is yours."
He chose to know the truth.
The phone rang in the silent room, Tsujimoto Yuma looked at the phone and got up quickly.
"Gin and wine are here, we should go over and have a good talk."
·
Gin is not in a good mood.
Especially after being ridiculed by Belmod, his mood was even worse.
It's impossible to say that he doesn't care about Tsujimoto's involvement, he just found that he had been kept in the dark about too many things, so he agreed to the invitation of Glenz.
It's not been a day or two that the two have seen each other wrong, but in the matter of Tsujimoto's involvement, the two can reach a temporary reconciliation.
"Whoa-"
The sliding door was pulled open, and Tsujimoto Yuzhen's eyes just fell on Gin, and the room that had been warmly lit instantly became icy cold.
Even the waiter on the side shuddered inexplicably.
"I didn't expect, ah, Jinjiu, you're not wearing your black trench coat, why? Have you changed your mind?" Tsujimoto Yuzhen said contemptuously.
"Hmph, hurry up if you have something to say." Gin lowered his hat, and the expression on his face was obviously very unhappy.
"I didn't come here to waste time with you, Glenz."
"I don't call this name anymore, you can call me Tsujimoto Yuma." Tsujimoto Yuma sat down in front of him with his legs crossed, his hands tucked into his sleeves,
"Gin, I believe my brother must have made you suffer a lot some time ago? I hope you don't make a second mistake."
Gin: "…"
Is this guy here to find fault? ? ?
"So you said it or didn't say it??" Gin became a little irritable.
"Of course." Tsujimoto Yushin tapped lightly on the table with his fingers, with a teasing expression on his face.
"Although I don't like you, you are someone your brother cares about anyway. If there has always been some kind of misunderstanding, and this misunderstanding is still imposed on me, I can't bear such a weight."
"You did the explosion of the underground auctioneer?" Gin looked at him coldly.
"I did it." Tsujimoto Yuma said happily,
"Don't you know exactly what you did to me back then? It's not too much for me to take revenge a little bit? Besides, aren't you still alive now?"
"Grenz, I advise you not to be too arrogant."
"Then it depends on your attitude, Mr. Gin."
…
"Is it really okay?"
Hearing the gunpowder-smelling disputes in the room, Jiang Gu Ling was still a little worried.
No matter what, repeatedly provoking gin's anger is too terrifying. What's more, every point he said was on the anger value of others, obviously intentional.
"I don't think it's a big problem." Zhu Fu Jingguang said seriously,
"While the two of them have been challenging each other's bottom line, neither side has actually lost their minds."
"After all, you know that what Tsujimoto Yuma wants to see most is that Gin loses control and draws a gun at him, so that he can reasonably kill Gin."
...is that so! ?
"And Gin obviously knows what Tsujimoto Yuma wants to do, so he has been suppressing his anger and dealing with the other party—is that so?"
Akai Shuichi appeared outside the door at an unknown time, the two of them looked at him silently, and the expression on the face of Zero Valley was obviously worse.
"Don't be nervous, I just happened to be standing outside the door while you were talking." Akai Shuichi waved his hand.
"And I asked Yujin, and he said he doesn't really care."
"Ah?"
Jiang Guling turned his head away, his expression became complicated.
Forget it, at least it seems that everything is going well for now.
Next, let's see how the negotiation between Gin and Yujin goes.
·
"You took our test item and didn't say anything."
The boss put the spoon in the small bowl and looked at Tsujimoto Shito once again,
"But I wasn't angry, and even gave you a chance - you should know that the Kurosawa Array is also in my hands, but even if we threatened you with the Kurosawa Array, you didn't come back."
"Xiaozhen is different." Tsujimoto slowly squeezed the lemon juice into the black tea,
"You need him, and he needs you. And he's not fit to be an experimenter. You're not going to hit him."
"I can't protect everyone, and at that time there were unfamiliar faces in the X organization, and I didn't want to stay here any longer."
"So you took our research results and left the organization, didn't you?" Boss sighed,
"Although I know that most of the research is your result, but you have destroyed the research for so many years. Do you know how much damage it has done to us?"
"What does that have to do with me?" Tsujimoto said coldly.
"It has nothing to do with me if you all died. You don't think you can play emotional cards with me, do you?"
"You have been running away all the time, and finally, in order to avoid our pursuit, you ate the newly developed product and turned into the appearance of a child." BOSS's hands folded slightly,
"I remember very clearly that in the final stage of our study, the effect of the drug had not yet had time to take effect on the test body, but it did take effect on you."
"When you're back in your twenties, you've kept the same appearance as you left, and the medicine you've taken has worked, hasn't it?"
"…"
Tsujimoto said nothing.
He noticed that the people around him gradually disappeared. There were only two of them left in the huge restaurant, and even the waiter disappeared.
The pressure from the man in front of him became more and more uncomfortable, and he knew what the other party wanted to say.
"Pandora's plan has succeeded, and it has succeeded on you."
The boss looked directly into Tsujimoto's eyes, he put his hand on his mask, and took it off naturally.
"Tsujimoto is involved, tell me, where is [Pandora]?"
