It was not until his narration was interrupted by Toru Amuro's voice that Tang Ze realized that he seemed to be unable to stop talking nonstop. He raised his hand and pressed his forehead.

Probably in order to resolve the issue of the library director, he was forced to come into contact with some similar scenes. Although he did not show any discomfort or touch when he inflicted wounds on Moriwaki Bunta, Tang Ze himself was very clear that his emotions were indeed a little abnormal.

"Sorry." Tang Ze closed his eyes and tried to clear his mind of the flashbacks. "I was a little excited. It's nothing."

It doesn't look like nothing happened at all...

Amuro Toru looked at Tang Ze who became stubborn again with a headache, and had to agree with Hiro and the others' judgment.

Tang Ze has always emphasized that he is mentally healthy and that any problems he has are only minor ones. No matter how people try to probe him, they really can't find out anything. However, he might also have a deep shadow in his heart, but perhaps the direction is different from what many people guess.

Perhaps Tang Ze’s concern has nothing to do with the case involving him.

For an ordinary 18-year-old boy, facing systematic bullying from violent organizations and an unfair judicial system that gives him no chance to resist, as well as interference and obstruction from organizations, and possible physical and mental torture and abuse, he might really collapse, his temperament would change drastically, and he would no longer be able to trust the people around him, but Tang Ze is obviously not an ordinary boy.

He already knew the culprit behind the case, but he had not yet solved the problem - nor was he in a hurry to solve it. After all, for an organization, the state of not solving the problem is the normal state. What Tang Ze pursues is to directly solve the root cause and solve the organization that caused the problem, then the problem itself will collapse.

These things only brought inconvenience to Tang Ze. Some identity problems might cause inconvenience to his future life, but it would not form any psychological shadow. Even the part that showed in the past might have more mental suggestion elements forcibly implanted by the role-playing and organization.

His mental health is indeed unhealthy, but it is not caused by his past experiences as he shows.

He has trauma that he has never told anyone about. When he is truly touched, even someone as experienced as Tang Ze will temporarily lose control of his emotions...

Analyzing the situation in his mind constantly, Toru Amuro pretended to accept what Tang Ze said. He did not ask about his performance just now, but answered the questions he raised seriously.

"Okay, about this question... I really don't know where I caused you to misunderstand. I'll just take it as a compliment on my good work. What I want to say is that I have never been able to adjust."

Hearing this answer, Tang Ze raised his eyebrows.

"Who can forget something like that? In the past three years, I have never forgotten that afternoon." Amuro Toru spread his hands and admitted his emotional problems very frankly, "You described me as an outstanding undercover agent who is unparalleled in the world. Not only can I play an identity that is completely different from my own, but I can also control every bit of emotion and will not get lost because of it... I wish I were as strong as you think."

How can I forget it? How can I get over it?

Every day, when he is not so busy and his nerves are not so tense, when he can escape from his tense three-sided life a little and think about his own life, everything that happened that day will come to him quietly.

Sometimes it was the gaping wounds and blood, the splashing liquid soaking the shirt on the man's chest and the low wall behind him; sometimes it was a pair of cold and sharp green eyes, and the moment when Akai Shuichi's long hair fluttering in the wind was stained with blood and dust; sometimes it was a dark stairwell, and when you finally walked to the last few steps and finally saw the bright sky in front of you, the roar of gunfire and the pungent smell of gunpowder...

He didn't know what form other people's memories took, but for Rei Furuya, certain unforgettable moments that remained in his memory were always these bits and pieces of senses.

"I never deny that I am irrational at times." He put away his smile, and the sharp temperament of Furuya Rei briefly emerged from his face. "I know, although I found a reason for myself, I said that I did this because I felt that Lei stole my credit and was a scheming vicious dog, so I was hostile to him, but the reality is that since the day Hiro died, my targeting and resentment towards him have almost been exposed."

Tang Ze blinked and his eyes flickered for a moment.

He couldn't refute it. He even knew that when Toru Amuro was doing boxing exercises in the morning, his mind was always remembering Akai Shuichi and punching hard...

"And you kid." He raised his index finger and tapped Tang Ze's face in the air impolitely. "If I was really a qualified undercover, I shouldn't have shown mercy to you. I know very well that if I really carried out Bourbon's identity, I would not have any sympathy for a target living alone in my territory. Instead, I should think that you are alone and helpless without relatives and friends, and you are a child who is easy to deal with. I think that the organization's request for me to stay put is a waste of time and I should deal with you as soon as possible."

As an undercover agent, doing this is a bit impulsive and not rational.

It's just that the organization itself is a free and undisciplined criminal group, and its main members are all bad and undisciplined in their own ways, which covers up these flaws.

"I've never been a perfect undercover agent. At most, I have some talent. In this regard, you're not much worse than me." Knowing that Tang Ze's emotions have not yet completely calmed down, Furuya Ling rarely expressed his thoughts frankly, and did not hesitate to agree with Tang Ze. "You said that you would wonder why I was able to get over Jing's death. In fact, I have also imagined something similar. I would think, if it was you, Tang Ze, or Akai Shuichi, who was more thorough and ruthless as an undercover agent, would you have a chance to save him."

If he could be faster, stronger than Akai Shuichi, or if he could smell something wrong earlier and warn Jing in time, would the ending of that day be different? Would it be...

"Amuro, no, Mr. Furuya..."

Tang Ze opened his mouth and wanted to say something to comfort him, but was interrupted by Furukaya Rei who raised his hand.

"It's okay. I also know that there is a high probability that there will be no difference. There is no such possibility. Like you said, maybe you are here to be the undercover agent. Jing is my childhood friend and a classmate with whom I have a good relationship in the police academy. We should not be sent to the same place as undercover agents. I know, so these are just unrealistic fantasies."

Having said that, Fūya Rei's eyes softened a little.

Of course, now these fantasies have become reality through Tang Ze, this incredible child. Some painful scenes have finally begun to fade.

He originally thought that he would have to wait a long time for this day. Maybe even after the organization was uprooted and eradicated, it would take him a long time to truly accept the death of his friend.

Therefore, he must not let Tang Ze fall into some kind of myth, and he should also help this child.

"The person I hate the most is not Akai Shuichi, but myself. I regret it and I want to blame myself for not being able to do better. I didn't save Jing and I didn't protect everyone. How can I be qualified to talk about loss and pain? It's not that I lost anything at all. It's that he lost his life."

"You're too negative. It's not your fault." Tang Ze shook his head.

"No, it's precisely because I figured this out that I stopped being negative." Furuya Ling chuckled at his relief, "I can't stop after I admit this, admit that I'm indeed immature, and understand how much sacrifices I, the people I care about, my partners and friends have made for this goal. I must digest this pain, complete my mission, and keep going."

Take their share along.

If we are trapped in pain and hatred and get caught up in the maze of personal emotions, sacrifice will become meaningless.

"So, if you ask me how I adjusted... I will never forget the past, I just choose the present and the future. I don't know why you ask this, Tang Ze, you may also have some unknown pain. If you ask for my advice, then I suggest you give it a try. Don't stop, never stop, that's enough."

Choose the present, choose the future, do what you want to do and what you should do. Even if everyone thinks it is impossible and difficult, you must keep going with those things and their expectations.

Even though life is already tortuous and legendary enough for ordinary people, Furuya Rei always believes that he is also an ordinary person, with his own joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness, and he will get tired, suffer, fail, and fall down...

So he just asked himself to keep going, to make moving forward a habit, to keep his eyes on the goal, without hesitation, without stopping...

If you must ask, this is how Rei Furuya has come to where he is today.

"Choose the present and the future..." Tang Ze repeated in a low voice. Seeing the gentle smile on Furiya Ling's face, which looked like relief or encouragement, he slowly exhaled, "It's so easy for you to say it."

Of course it is not easy. It is precisely because he has done this that Rei Furuya knows it is not easy.

And Fūya Rei knew that this might be more difficult for Tang Ze than for him.

After all, he is a healthy person, a serious policeman who has undergone psychological assessment and training before starting his undercover career. Tang Ze is a patient with hyperthymesia, who finds it more difficult to forget than ordinary people, and his pain and trauma will be further deepened.

So, Furugaya Rei once again avoided asking Tang Ze about the source of these emotions and persuaded him in a gentle tone.

"Just don't forget the past. People are shaped by their memories. Even if you are still yourself after losing your memories, some things will be different. If you really can't forget it, don't force yourself to forget it. If you feel regretful, try to recover what you can, and make up for what you can't recover. If you can't do either, then do the right thing as much as you can, and you'll be fine with a clear conscience."

Is it okay to have a clear conscience?

Tang Ze slowly lowered his head and looked at his hands again.

Although the shape of this pair of young hands is completely different from his past, as his memory recovers and he remembers his entire past, he is becoming completely familiar with them, showing the skills and strength of the past.

Regardless of whether Tang Ze resists or not, he is already standing here and has entered a new life.

Just like what Leon said...

"I am you, and you are me."

"Hmm?" Amuro Toru, who didn't quite understand what Tang Ze was whispering, uttered a questioning syllable.

However, Tang Ze, whose thoughts were interrupted by a similar voice, could no longer hear his question.

"I am you...you are me..."

"You are here to gain a new contract."

"The contract is what it is called,"

"Break the shackles and seek the wings of freedom"

"I, the evolution of the magician's mask, am bathed in the wind of blessing."

"For more help to fly to the end..."

[I said, I will always stand on your side, guest, I have never lied to you, but my authority does not allow me to do so.

So much time has passed, and the one who has been hesitating and wondering who you really are has never been them, but you.

The Magician card is the second card of the Major Arcana. It is the guide of the Fool's journey. He is not omniscient, but he can give the blind direction. Are you satisfied with the answer he gives you? 】

【rank up! Rank6! 】

【coop——Destiny Shift 2nd】

[A brand new road has been opened, and you have embarked on a new life with no turning back and no fear.

Even if I were to look at all my future selves, I would not be able to make any judgment for you.

Next, it is you who should judge the future. 】

"Tang Ze? Hey, are you really okay?"

After drinking the chicken soup with full confidence, Toru Amuro found that the listener had been silent for a while with his head down. Seeing that Tang Ze still had no reaction, Toru Amuro couldn't help but wave his hand in front of Tang Ze to confirm that his consciousness was still there.

What happened? He didn't think his opinions were outrageous, so why did this guy cause the computer to crash?

It was not until his hands shook back and forth two or three times that Tang Ze raised his head again.

That look, however, was not the look of being called back to life by oneself, but rather a subtle look, as if one had seen a ghost.

"Hey, there's something really wrong with you today..."

"Where were we just talking about?" Without waiting for Toru Amuro to finish his question, Tang Ze calmly continued talking as if nothing had happened, "Oh, I used some means to find out about your situation. In fact, when I first learned about this, I had a plan."

What kind of thought-jumping conversation is this?

Could it be that Tang Ze wanted to use this method of playing dumb to pretend that the conversation just now never happened?

Facing Amuro Toru's suspicious gaze, Tang Ze continued speaking calmly.

"At this time, because I have mastered the method of using my own power, I have a little idea, an idea that can avoid the organization and avoid everyone. In order to verify this, I formed the Phantom Thieves of Hearts."

As Amuro picked up the cup of water and prepared to drink some coffee, he choked on the water.

He said it out loud. Tang Ze actually said it out loud like that, as if nothing had happened...!
