Ke Xue World: The Confrontation between Black and Red

"HA——/Me and that damn FBI!!!"

Toru Amuro's face first distorted for a moment, then became extremely ferocious, and his red face was full of murderous intent.

This time I was angry.

"It's pure nonsense, all rumors."

"Akai Shuichi is such a treacherous, despicable, filthy, scoundrel, I dream every day that he will die soon."

"..."

"Even if I like gin or whiskey, I can't possibly have anything to do with that damn FBI agent who deserves to go to hell."

The furious Toru Amuro jumped up and cursed for a long time, and finally said in a loud voice.

It was obvious that he didn't think through his words at all, he was just so emotional that the words just came out of his mouth.

But once something is spoken, the mind will always remember it.

So the next second, Toru Amuro's IQ, which had left home, instantly returned.

After realizing what he had just said, Amuro Toru subconsciously turned his head and saw Vermouth looking at him in shock.

Her pupils were trembling as if there was a magnitude 10 earthquake, without any falsehood.

"Snapped".

This was the sound of the chopsticks in Kiku Masamune's hand falling to the ground.

Kiku Masamune, who was originally a tall and strong man sitting on a low couch eating, now stared at Bourbon who was standing there in a daze, and deeply suspected that he had been mute for a long time, so his ears had problems.

At this moment, he missed his partner very much.

Little did he know that his partner was in an even more embarrassing situation than he was.

Outside the box, Chaoxiang, who had changed out of her train attendant's clothes and was carrying her lunch, had just put her hand on the door and had not yet had time to knock when she was startled by the sound coming from inside the door.

The sentence he just heard was repeating in his mind, and his brain CPU was about to burn out.

After finally recovering from the shock, he looked at his hands, then at the tightly closed door of the box in front of him, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

Go in. Bourbon, who is angry and petty, will definitely bear a grudge against him and who knows, he might find ways to trip him up somewhere in the future.

Let’s not go in. It’s no use standing here.

He couldn't leave either. It was so quiet inside. If he moved, he wasn't sure if others would notice him. But the few people inside who were caught in the weird atmosphere would definitely notice him.

In the midst of the noise where the only sound could be heard was the rumbling sound of the train running on the track, which changed as it kept moving forward. Asaka hesitated and thought for a while, raising and lowering her hand, and then lowering it again and again.

But I still couldn't come up with any useful solution.

In the end, it was the new noise coming from the box that prompted him to make a choice.

"Ah~ I didn't expect that you, Bourbon, actually thought this way in your heart. You have good vision.

Indeed, how can a mere undercover rye compare to gin and whiskey?

But I really want to know, which of these two people do you like better? "

Vermouth began a serious analysis with an unprecedented positive attitude, as enthusiastic as if she was judging for her best friend which good man was more worthy of entrusting her life to.

"Gin and Whiskey are both core members of the organization. They have equal status, and their abilities, methods, and looks are considered top-notch among the men in the organization.

But their tempers are all worse than each other.

As for Gin, his temperament is not much different from the snow-capped mountains in Siberia that have not melted for thousands of years.

It's not easy to keep him warm.

As for Whiskey, that guy has always been unruly. He has always been willful and ruthless. Don't be fooled by his leniency towards his subordinates. In fact, he is much colder than Gin in his heart.

Although you are now under the control of Whisky, you can be said to be close to the water and get the moon first, but I still suggest that if you really have to choose one, it is best to choose gin. "

As for whiskey, it’s best not to even touch it.

Vermouth did not elaborate.

Not only was she saying it to tease Bourbon, to amuse him, but there was no need to make it too clear.

More importantly, she believed that after working under Whiskey for such a long time, he would definitely be afraid of the scheming and abilities that Whiskey displayed.

A man whose nature is so cold and world-weary that most of his emotions are acted out to deceive others, a man who can easily calculate rum and champagne to such an extent that even though these two people knew that he was still serving his punishment period, they still did not dare to retaliate against his subordinates.

It would undoubtedly be extremely ridiculous to talk about topics like love with him.

What's more, Whiskey's true identity, the abilities he has demonstrated, and the name and identity he is now given and the constraints he is subject to.

It is enough to show what kind of existence that gentleman regards whiskey and to what extent he wants to control it.

That guy hates it most when someone touches his things.

Even, I can't even think about it.

Toru Amuro, who was being guided wholeheartedly by his fake best friend, was completely confused at the moment.

He couldn't figure it out.

How did a normal topic develop into such a strange direction?

The sudden emotional analysis caused Amuro Toru's already confused brain to go into overload again.

Kiku Masamune, who had lowered his head immediately after Vermouth opened his mouth, didn't even think about picking up the chopsticks. Instead, he looked up and observed Amuro Toru's expression.

I didn't even dare to blink.

He tried hard to reduce his presence, wishing he could shrink his tall and strong body into a ball and then find a hole in the ground to roll out.

When Toru Amuro's brain CPU resumed functioning and he calmed down completely, he saw Vermouth with a handsome man's face, smiling happily.

Invisible black gas spread from behind Toru Amuro. In just a blink of an eye, Toru Amuro completed the transformation from an ordinary person to Bourbon, a senior code member of the Black Organization.

A smile that was filled with darkness gradually appeared on his face.

"Vermouth, this joke is a bit too much."

There was no fear on Vermouth's face, and the smile in her eyes was deep.

"You also said this was a joke, Bourbon, why are you so angry? Could it be that—"

"Boom, boom, clatter-"

Before Vermouth could utter the last few words, two knocks on the door and the subsequent sound of the door being pushed open interrupted Vermouth's deliberately elongated voice and expectant expression.

With Kikumasamune's expression of seeing a savior, Asaka, holding the lunch in her hand, under the gaze of Bourbon and Vermouth, gritted her teeth and said:

"Why haven't you had lunch yet? Are you waiting for me?"

Bourbon, who was standing on the floor, glanced at Chaoxiang with a cold face for a few seconds, then retracted his gaze and walked towards his lunch.

Vermouth wanted to say something else, but after seeing the cold look that Bourbon gave her when he turned around, and the pleading look that Asaka took this opportunity to give her.

Vermouth, who showed a look of regret on her face, sighed very clearly, and replied in a perfunctory tone that everyone could hear:

"Yes."

Asaka breathed a sigh of relief and sat down opposite Kikumasamune with her lunch, without even glancing at the chopsticks that Kikumasamune had dropped on the floor.

After opening the packed lunch box, Asaka handed the clean chopsticks inside to Kikumasamune, and then used the remaining spoon to eat her own lunch.

He didn't ask why Kikumasamune's chopsticks fell to the ground, nor did he ask why Amuro Toru had a cold face, and he didn't even bother to explore the perfunctory attitude that Vermouth deliberately showed.

He just concentrated on his meal.

Just pretend you don't know about the strange atmosphere in the box.

After a while,

After noticing that Vermouth's gaze had finally moved away from him, Asaka finally felt relieved.

Thank God, Vermouth had no intention of continuing to provoke Bourbon, otherwise, Bourbon, who was angry and humiliated, would never give up easily.

Looking at her partner who was really concentrating on eating, Chaoxiang couldn't help but sigh in her heart:

If he hadn't been afraid that Kiku Masamune would be hated by the angry Bourbon, he wouldn't have bumped into him at this awkward moment.

Seeing Asaka appear, Kiku Masamune, who felt completely relieved, noticed that his partner was looking at him. He looked up, but when he didn't find anything unusual, he lowered his head and continued to eat.

The strange lunch time lasted for about twenty minutes.

After finishing their meal, even though the atmosphere was weird before, they still sat together to discuss the next action plan.

Kikumasamune, who was not good at these things, sat quietly beside his partner Asaka, listening to him discussing with Vermouth and Bourbon.

How to find out the person who stole the treasure map and the real parchment treasure map from the seven candidates within these seven days.

"I just checked the team list. The actual total number of people in these two teams is not the seven that Chaoxiang saw in that box, but eight."

Toru Amuro opened the electronic data he had retrieved and placed it on the table:

“This person is not among the seven people Chaoxiang just pointed out.

But he and three of them are from the same team.

In fact, he is the real contestant in that team."

It can be said that the emergence of this team was entirely based on this person's qualification to participate in the treasure hunt competition.

“That was quite interesting, the real contestants didn’t show up, but the others were having a good chat with the people from the other team.

I don’t know if it’s a deliberate trick or the real goal.”

Asaka glanced at the face on the profile and memorized it.

As Toru Amuro looked at this newly added suspect, he felt that the task was becoming increasingly difficult.

The difficulty of this mission has never been how to take the target person and the target object away, but how to confirm who the target person and the target object are from more than a hundred people.

Although some means were used before, the scope was narrowed down to eight people on the first day.

But this does not mean that the difficulty of this task disappears.

After narrowing the target range, they can identify the real treasure map from the tampered fake parchment treasure map.

But Toru Amuro has already concluded from the information revealed by Hiroshi Utsunomiya that the focus of this mission is not the treasure map, but the person who stole the treasure map.

At this time, no one can be sure that the person who stole the treasure map will carry the real treasure map with him.

And the person who has the real treasure map must be the one who stole the treasure map from the Utsunomiya family.

The Utsunomiya family made a lot of noise in secret to find something. Others didn't know why, but the person who stole the things must have known that it was aimed at him.

Therefore, in this case, there is a possibility that you will carry the real treasure map with you, but it is not absolute.

The plan to give each participant in the treasure hunt a replica of a parchment treasure map as a token of trust was made when the Ooka Foundation organized the event.

This news was announced on the official website of the treasure hunt competition as early as mid-September.

The target will come to participate in this treasure hunt competition. It can be said that he wants to use the cover of other contestants in this treasure hunt competition and the real treasure map in his hand to confirm the location of the Red Leaf treasure.

But why would he need to carry the real treasure map with him?

If you can't remember the pattern and words printed on a piece of parchment, you can trace them with a pen on ordinary paper, or you can make a rubbing of it and memorize it every day.

Since he was capable of stealing from the Utsunomiya family, he must have the fortitude to carry something.

It has been almost two months since the Utsunomiya family began to take obvious actions behind the scenes.

Taking into account the time when there was no obvious movement, 80% of the heirs of the Utsunomiya family had just bought something at the tulip auction when it was stolen within two days.

If you calculate it this way, if you give this thing to an elementary school student with average IQ, he can memorize it completely in two or three months, let alone a thief with normal IQ and who is definitely not even an elementary school student.

If it were him, he would definitely destroy the things directly after memorizing the information on the treasure map.

But now, it has been confirmed that the real treasure map exists on this red leaf special train.

Therefore, knowing that the Utsunomiya family values ​​the person who stole the treasure map more than the treasure map itself, Amuro Toru actually focuses on another point of view.

That is the reason why the target participated in this treasure hunt competition, in order to take this opportunity to sell the real treasure map to others.

It doesn’t matter if it’s someone you know or someone you don’t know.

Even if the real parchment treasure map is found, it is impossible to identify the real culprit who stole the treasure map based on it.

In addition, Toru Amuro also derived a deeper speculation from this.

What if the real parchment treasure map was secretly transferred to someone else before the opening ceremony of the treasure hunt competition?

The target they wanted to capture in this mission might not even be a participant in the treasure hunt and did not board the Red Leaf Special Train.

Then by then, even if they are sure that the person holding the treasure map is not the target they are looking for.

No matter how suspicious they were, no matter how wide the scope of their investigation was, they could not suspect a person who did not participate in the treasure hunt.

The more Toru Amuro thought about it, the more he felt that this guess was very likely, but in the subsequent action discussion, he did not reveal a single detail.

Instead, he concentrated on discussing with Vermouth and Asaka how to find the real target among these eight people in the following time.
