MTL - After Binding the Barrage, My Friend and I Wore Red and Black-Chapter 71

"Wow-"

When he emerged from the sea, Kuroba Kuito took a big mouthful of oxygen, only to feel that his brain was still groggy.

"Feeling better?"

A small boat swayed to his side, and as the hand stretched out, Kuroba Kuito's expression completely collapsed.

"What do you think! You can't see this kind of thing!"

"I think you are very happy to find it." The man sitting on the boat smiled.

"Where's the fun!"

…

In fact, the moment he passed the Furugu Police Department, he felt something was wrong. Unexpectedly, my guess was correct.

It's just that the surprise and shock came too quickly, and he was interrupted before he had time to think carefully.

"Where did the others go?" Kuroba climbed onto the boat with difficulty, and pulled on the wet cloak on his body. As the best phantom thief, it's okay to be embarrassed in front of his father occasionally.

"Of course I'm preparing for the curtain call of this farce." Heiba ​​Piichi said mysteriously.

Whether it is Tsujimoto Shito or Tsujimoto Yuma, they are all looking forward to this day.

They're looking forward to the curtain, looking forward to the end, looking forward to... being able to return to the world they were meant to be.

And he was just an ordinary bystander passing by.

·

The blue sky is beautiful, and even at night it cannot hide the twinkling stars hidden in the dark clouds.

Tsujimoto has always liked this kind of sky, and this kind of thing reminds him of the past. The sky of the orphanage is always obscured by a layer of gray clouds, but if you look closely, you can still see the twinkling stars hidden inside.

Those are all memories from a long time ago. Thinking about it this way, whether he was in the original world or in the current world, he seemed to have stayed in the orphanage. The same is that there will always be someone by his side.

He regards it as his younger brother's existence and his most important family.

Tsujimoto was never alone.

"Ding-"

The sound of the elevator finally came to an end. Tsujimoto Hirohito hid the box in his pocket, buttoned it, and walked forward as if nothing had happened.

The automatic scanning system is turned off, and the system is exceptionally quiet during this time. I don't know what he's thinking, in short, he won't think anything good.

The silver-haired youth raised his head, and those stars were reflected in the depths of his pupils, which were quickly hidden.

This open space on the cruise ship was originally used as a sports field. The facilities of the Ocean ship are very complete, whether it is entertainment facilities or catering, they are all in place.

It would be better if you didn't meet the man in front of you.

"You look a little embarrassed." Tsujimoto was very polite, although there was no gentleness in his voice, it was all cold.

"I thought you didn't dare to come and see me, Tsujimoto involved."

It was still a hoarse and unkind voice that responded to him. Tsujimoto never liked an old dying guy, even though he was wearing the skin of a friend of his own.

"Is there anything else you can do to find me?" Tsujimoto slowly drew his gun from his waist, his movements were too natural to feel any hostility.

"You should know what you did." The voice was full of hatred, "This is not Pandora at all! Three gems! None of them are Pandora! Where did you hide Pandora!?"

No one dared to bet that Tsujimoto Shiren would make such a big joke, because he did not trust Tsujimoto Shiren, and Karasuma Renye even succeeded in getting the gem in the hands of the handover person in advance, which is the rumored [Pandora].

The sea blue gem lay quietly on the fine velvet cloth, noble and pure, like a noble girl who has not been deeply involved in the world, lovable.

But she is not Pandora.

"The rumor is correct, the Heart of the Ocean is indeed here. This is the last gem I hid here." Tsujimoto said.

"Pandora is not in your hands??"

"Of course." Tsujimoto said, "Do you still remember Tamir's Heart?"

"...The Heart of Tamir?"

The first gem he got in his hand was also the first gem he ignored and no longer trusted.

"I have always felt a certain sense of guilt towards my friends—or former friends." Tsujimoto Shito put his hand on his heart. His words were mixed with grief and regret.

"I regret not holding him. He fell into the vortex and sank a little bit. I didn't notice him and didn't get him back at the last minute."

"I've always supported his research, even though I knew it was an impossible research... But you know what? [Pandora] originally meant the box that couldn't be opened, and once it was opened, something pretty bad would happen. ."

"what are you talking about?!"

"The key to open the box is originally in your hands."

Tsujimoto Shito took out the gemstone in his arms. The pink diamond looked extraordinarily magnificent and eye-catching under the night sky.

"That was my gift to you, but you didn't notice it."

"...I didn't find anything special about it." Karasuma Rianye narrowed her eyes, "But you actually stole Tamir's heart. It seems that guy is also involved in this operation?"

"Probably? I can't tell you that." Tsujimoto smiled.

"As for nothing special, because you are not him, you may not understand where [Pandora] is in your life."

"It was a gift that only he could understand."

The heart of Tamir, burning, like a heart of fire.

Just like his original heart, he has the power to support his friend, to give him all the help, to squeeze his freedom, his time.

The gift is the key, the Pandora experiment has already been successful, and the only successful experiment...is him.

"That's the secret code between me and him." Tsujimoto seemed to recall some past, and his eyes became gentle.

"I am Pandora himself, as long as he wants, I can be a sample for the experiment."

"But he refused, do you know why?"

Tsujimoto noticed that the eyes of the man in front of him became hot, which contained some kind of madness, or anger.

"That's because it is not a happy thing to live in this world for a long time." Tsujimoto raised the gun in his hand and aimed at the man in front of him,

"And some maggots that only hide in the shadows may not be able to understand such a thing in this life."

·

"So where is he?"

Looking at the communicator that couldn't get through again and again, Jianggu Ling's forehead broke out with cold sweat, and his expression became a little uneasy.

"Are you sure they have met?" Zhu Fu Jingguang said nervously, "I think I heard the sound of gunshots coming from the sea??"

"That piece has been blasted ahead of time. The little detective did a good job. He deliberately deduced a case and made everyone concentrate in the restaurant."

Gu Ling put away the communicator, his expression was a little dignified,

"I am more worried about Tsujimoto's safety. Although I believe he will not betray me, but..."

He couldn't finish his sentence. But Zhu Fu Jingguang knew exactly what he was thinking.

Tsujimoto Shito never seemed to be calm, he never seemed to be nervous, always with that reassuring smile, telling them that he had a way.

But it was him like this that made people feel particularly uneasy.

"I always have a feeling..." Zhu Fu Jingguang looked at the sky silently, but his eyes were a little confused.

"He... seems to be leaving. But he is clearly here."

"He's always been that kind of person." Jiang Gu Ling sighed.

A kite with a broken string will naturally keep wandering if it cannot find a place to belong.

But... even his most important younger brother can't hold him back?

·

"call…"

Tsujimoto closed his eyes and opened them again, the clear blue eyes were covered by the smoke, and he became confused.

ended.

When the blood stained his face and the man had an incredible expression on his face, Tsujimoto Shitoto knew it was over.

Karasuma Renye was just a man who was so old that he was about to die. He is very strong, but there is no doubt that he has no room for expansion in this small place that cannot be smaller.

That person is about to die. He is afraid of death and the end. The man who was struggling on the edge originally thought that he could threaten him with the same way of forcing his life.

Too bad he guessed wrong.

The bombs that had been hidden in advance exploded in a series of explosions at that moment, and the thick smoke covered all the sight. Tsujimoto walked forward with the gun in hand. He mechanically raised his hand, attacked, raised his hand, attacked...

The other members of the Black Organization were transferred out by the undercover Jiang Gu Ling and others, and this was the battlefield for the two of them.

He won, but also lost.

Black's numbers are wobbly, and he can't leave without reaching the top.

"It's still a little short." The system murmured.

"yes."

Tsujimoto was lying on the rooftop, and the last shot hit the old guy in the heart, and he fell from a height, creating a spray on the calm sea.

At Gu Ling, they just waited there, he couldn't run away.

"You're an idiot, right?" The system sighed, "You can go back soon, you don't need to be so nervous... It's the last step, right?"

Tsujimoto was still injured on his body, but it was nothing to his physique.

But the silver-haired man did not answer him immediately. He just looked at the sky silently, and a long dark color flowed through his eyes, like a surging river, or a winding road that he looked down on.

"Actually, you've been watching, right?" Tsujimoto said softly.

"...What did you say??" The system was stunned for a moment.

"I mean you." Tsujimoto stretched his voice, very softly, with a somewhat inexplicable chuckle,

"Wouldn't you be tired of being lurking around me all the time? You care so much about me, but you've never been willing to tell me who you are? Is it possible to wait for you to disappear completely and let me go to your tombstone to remember you?"

"you…"

The sound of the system turned completely shocked now,

"How did you know that?? How did you know that I—"

"I said it was intuition, do you believe it?"

Tsujimoto tilted his head slightly. He saw the fireworks rising slowly not far away, the neon lights flickering, and the countless lighthouses lit up, as well as the light and shadow they cast on the sea...

The stars are beautiful, but there is always something more beautiful than the stars.

"You don't like Yuma, because I prefer him, and even disobey your orders for him." Tsujimoto said softly,

"I know what you're trying to remind me of. You want me to go back to my original world. You want me to get rid of the curse of this world. You want me to go home."

"But he's been lying to you all the time!" The system became anxious, "I, even if I really think so! But so what! I'm going to disappear soon! I can't let you stay here forever, I can't —”

"I know."

"…what?"

"I know Yujin is lying to me." Tsujimoto smiled.

"He wasn't my best friend in the world. My friend died a long time ago. We grew up in an orphanage together, went to school together, got social recognition together... I told him all this, but I Didn't tell him that man was dead."

Tsujimoto Yuzhen is not from that world, never has been.

Only Tsujimoto Yuma was alone.

"He has always pretended to know me. He is very smart. He can remember every word I said and understand every little emotion of mine. I even wonder if he really belongs to my original world. That person?" Tsujimoto said slowly.

"Even you were tricked by him, weren't you?"

"But you clearly know, so why pretend you don't know anything??" The system didn't understand.

"Because he will be sad." Tsujimoto said, "He is also human, he will be sad, he will be sad, and he will have his own thoughts... I have never been a harsh person. I have lived two lives, and some things have long been seen through. ."

"He is still my best friend and my most important family member, and that has never changed."

"…"

"You're also working hard, right? You've always wanted me to go back, and you've been reluctant to reveal your true identity to me, because you know, if I knew that Tsujimoto Yu was really from this world, I wouldn't go back."

"But, I didn't plan to go back from the beginning."

The silver-haired youth's pupils reflected the color of the streamer, and he seemed to be smiling.

"Those artificial lights and shadows are not necessarily less beautiful than stars."

"…”

[Warning, warning! Your Black stats are dropping rapidly! Your Black stats are dropping rapidly! ]

"So you don't plan to go back?" the system asked.

"Ah, I don't plan anymore." Tsujimoto looked at his gun and suddenly felt a little powerless.

"The bullets are over, and the people who should be dealt with are dealt with. It's time to go back to old age."

"…"

The system was finally completely silent.

With Tsujimoto's character, it's not surprising to do such a thing.

He didn't know when Tsujimoto Shitoto discovered it, or from the very beginning, or just halfway through.

But the only thing he can be sure of is... Tsujimoto really cares about them, and he really didn't give up on anyone. And his purpose has always been to kill Karasuma Renye.

He has always been gentle.

"Are you leaving?" After a while, Tsujimoto asked.

"Well, I'm leaving." The system recovered.

"Did you regret it at the beginning? Pull me in to do research, but in the end I died at the hands of Karasuma Renye."

"How is it possible..." The voice began to gradually fade away,

"If you don't do this, you won't know you, let alone have you as a friend."

"It's really an honor."

"Goodbye then?"

"See you."

The last sound disappeared from his ears, and Tsujimoto was lying on the ground quietly, listening to the sound of the cruise ship, the sound of the waves, and the sound of the sea breeze blowing by his ears...

No moment is more real than this moment.

Not far away, behind the closed door, Tsujimoto Yuma leaned on the door panel. As long as he moved a little, the door would be pushed open.

But he didn't make a move, and he didn't take a step forward.

It seems that I heard a rather remarkable speech.

Tsujimoto Yuma looked at the gun in his hand, his blue eyes gradually dimmed, but he suddenly smiled.

what.

The thing that worries me the most is nothing from the beginning to the end.

Just like the absurd drama, it has no meaning, but it still makes people laugh for unknown reasons.

Tsujimoto has long known everything, but he doesn't care and won't explain.

Maybe he is a gentle person himself, and the years have smoothed his character, but it has not been able to smooth out other things. That gentle heart is still beating, full of his own temperature.

That leaves it?

Don't have to play whoever, don't have to be whoever, just live like he is.

very nice.
