The investigation office only left a week for the Shinsengumi to tidy up. After that, the office should be emptied, and no team members would be able to step into the place where they had worked so hard.

Looking at the bustling crowd, I feel complicated.Although Yinshi told the earthwork that there is indeed a possibility of continuing the investigation, he actually has no idea how to break through the current predicament.Gintoki pressed the elevator, while hating himself for being out of his mind and not even having a solution to the problem, while thinking about what he would do if it were Sakata Ginpachi, but found that he was only adding to his troubles and frustration.After all, he will never be that person, not today, and definitely not in the future.

But at the end of the day, what is dream science?Silver asked himself.What kind of problems is the birth of dream science trying to solve?At this time, he found that the definitions of many things were extremely vague.

He guessed that at the beginning, a group of psychologists or brain scientists did a lot of research on the curiosity of the subconscious. More active scientists even wanted to change some existing human behavior patterns by solving such puzzles.The starting point may be good, but the outcome is not necessarily so.Just like in 1769, after the Englishman Watt improved the steam engine, the original expectation was only to increase the production efficiency, but he did not expect that this would change the life of human beings at all levels, and at the same time bring serious damage to the environment, and even destroy the self-sufficiency of many places. The self-sufficient lifestyle creates serious social problems. "Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it," regardless of whether you discuss science extensively, or simply mention "dream science" narrowly. This may be a "double-edged sword" characteristic of change.

Assuming that, as Freud said, "dreams are a broad road to the subconscious", then it is clear that what dream science wants to solve is the problem hidden deep in the subconscious.However, Gintoki didn't understand what kind of mood Ginpachi had in researching subconsciousness and dreams. During the time after time of speculation, his feelings for his brother became more and more complicated, especially when he found that the promotion of dream science gradually affected his dreams. The moment that touched the general public.

At one point he passed a large animated billboard announcing a program about what's new in science.Yinshi stopped and watched for ten minutes. In fact, there were many people present, like him, who were curious about the application of dream science in life on the show. He even believed that some people would try out those related to dream science Related products, users who like the product will also promote it to their friends.At that time, dream science will spread like ripples, affecting the lives of almost every modern person.

Gintoki just remembered that Ginpachi gave a speech on the disadvantages of dream science seven years ago. At that time, it was a wonderful lecture to break the "Hashida Witchcraft". Imperfections.And who would have known that seven years later, Hashida used scientific development of technology to test the waters in the market like a baby babbling, and finally showed his ambition, and took the initiative to contact Sakata Ginpachi, who destroyed his group's prestige back then. The Tachikawa Brain Science Research Center led by him provides knowledge and research assistance.The mystery of the gun case back then was quietly ignored by Ginpachi and the comeback atmosphere created by Ginpachi as if it didn't exist.

This also means: Ginpachi, who was the chief researcher of the Hashida Group at the beginning, Sakata Ginpachi, the director of the Tachikawa Brain Science Research Center who accused Hashida, and Sakata Ginpachi, who was on the same side as Hashita after his comeback──It’s completely There are three independent time periods, and Yinshi is most concerned about the relationship and gap between the three, and they are also rudely and simply ignored by everyone.

Those who ignore these, of course, include Toshiro Hijikata, who has incomplete information.

Gintoki observed himself secretly, and found that he was indeed always angry because of Ginpachi's past actions, but what made him most angry was that Ginpachi turned a blind eye to the existence of Hijikata after Ginpachi's return, and he didn't even care about the behavior of almost strangers. At this point, maybe he is still the kind of stranger with bad intentions.Yinshi vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he asked himself several times and got the same answer, so Yinshi gave up his self-doubt.

Yinshi once asked himself if he liked Hijikata, but he couldn't answer it anyway, and his head froze for a while.He admits that he and Hijikata have a sense of trust that goes beyond friendship, but Gintoki is not very sure if he wants to say "like".I used to like a girl named "Yuno", the feeling at that time was different from now.As for the difference, Yinshi himself didn't know, but occasionally felt that some distress, impatience, or other emotions seemed to be directed at Hijikata.

The elevator door opened, Yinshi was still thinking about his own affairs.Passing by the oncoming person in the elevator, he didn't feel a bit.

"Sakata?"

First, when he heard someone calling his last name, Yinshi turned his head.He didn't know the gray-haired, middle-aged man in the dark glasses, and he could swear he didn't remember meeting the gentleman.Yinshi suddenly realized that maybe this gentleman was another guy who mistook him.

"Sorry, I'm not—"

"I know you are Sakata Gintoki, not your twin brother. I'm quite surprised that you appear here." The other said.

"You know me?" Gintoki asked.

"No, strictly speaking, I know your father." The man said, "A Yuan is my very good friend."

Silver raised his eyebrows.

"Since I met you here, we need to have a good talk." The man said, walked back to the elevator, and motioned for Yinshi to follow.

"Wait a minute, I don't know who you are." Yinshi frowned.

"'You saw it, but didn't observe it carefully'. What if Ah Yuan would teach his son this?" The man said, "Come on, I have something to tell you."

Gintoki followed up dubiously, until the man pressed the elevator button on the 69th floor, Gintoki suddenly realized that this was the Director of the Investigation Department, Matsudaira Katakuritor.Songping glanced at Yinshi.

"Are you Shinsengumi's Architect?" Matsudaira said, "Although Hijikata doesn't have very good understanding, his observation and intuition have always been good."

"So?" Gintoki asked.

"I probably know the reason why he recruited you into the Shinsengumi." Matsudaira said, "But the potential he envisioned, because you are still in the state of mind of seeking comfort, has not really been realized."

Gintoki became serious and asked, "What do you mean?"

Matsudaira did not answer Yintoki's question first.After stepping into the office, Matsudaira gestured for Gintoki to sit down.

"Do you know the significance of the establishment of the Shinsengumi?" Matsudaira said, "A group of young people hope to use the power of science to understand the true face of human beings, and want to prescribe the right medicine for the difficulties faced by human beings. Kondo told me so I laughed at him sometime, but I let him do the same."

Yinshi listened quietly, the previous impatience slowly subsided.

"After Kondo was traumatized by the mission that time, he was really given a blow. When you walk into the abyss, the abyss is also close to you. Those who are not prepared can only wait to be swallowed." Matsudaira said, "Kondo believes that It was too late to realize this, and he could never enter this field again."

These were the parts Gintoki had heard, but he knew that what Matsudaira was going to say was not really about this matter.

"The real leader of the team rests on Hijikata's shoulders. To be honest, he does a good job. The missions are successful every time. With Okita's assistance, there is absolutely no problem." Matsudaira said, "But if you want to be an Extractor, Hijikata knows You have too many limitations."

"I thought he'd proven he could do a good job, so what's the point of being too restrictive?"

"If you know that Hijikata Toshiro has been clinging on to the clues to find Sakata Ginpachi for the past seven years, you should be very clear about his limitations." Matsudaira said, "The excessive emotional attachment to Ginpachi affects him. Judgment on the Hashida Group."

"Is this a reason why you can't be an Extractor?"

"Because "perseverance" can make people's goals clear, but it is easy to lead to "lost"." Matsudaira said, "Extractor shoulders the key to the completion of the task, and it is a terrible thing to lose one's mind in the task. If you make a wrong step, the earthwork may be lost. You won’t be as lucky as Kondo, but you will ruin the rest of your life.”

Yinshi gritted his teeth, he understood this point.Not only is he aware of Hijikata's attachment to Ginpachi, but he also knows that as long as Hijikata shakes a little bit about Shinsengumi's mission because of those attachments, and the failure of the mission is trivial, Hijikata may only recognize the "fact" of Ginpachi in the dream, which is reversed. Reality will break Earth's nerves -- and that's the real headache.

Gintoki does not want to see such a situation, but seeing that he and Hijikata have the same goal of finding out the truth behind Ginpachi, it is inevitable that he must encounter problems that will shake Hijikata's heart.But what should Yinshi do to minimize the damage suffered by Hijikata?

"Sakata Gintoki, let me ask you a question."

Matsudaira crossed Erlang's legs, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, sitting with his back to the window sill, so Yinshi couldn't see his expression clearly due to the backlight.

"Have you seen Gauguin's paintings?"

Yinshi smiled, he knew what Matsudaira was asking.

"Will answering 'who am I, where am I from, and where am I going' make my distinction between dreams and reality clearer?" Silver said, "I don't think there is a definition, and I can grasp the definition. In the future, I can properly position myself in the dream without getting lost."

Matsudaira chuckled a few times, and replied, "I didn't say that, young man. What I want to ask is not about 'dreams'."

Yinshi was surprised, and subconsciously withdrew his right hand resting on the table.Matsudaira glanced at it and continued talking.

"I just want you to answer those three simple questions."

Yin Shi pursed his lips and paused for a long time.He tried to figure out what Matsudaira's intention was for doing this; at the same time, although Matsudaira's gaze seemed relaxed, Gintoki could still feel the hidden pressure, forcing him to quickly think about an answer.What role do these three issues of value positioning play in Matsudaira's words?How can I relate these three questions to myself?

Best that answer wasn't a really pretty one, Gintoki guessed.For such seemingly simple questions, what is often needed is not a standard answer, but a thought that really touches the heartstrings.Gradually, Gintoki relaxed the body that was tense during the conversation with Matsudaira earlier, but it was not slack.Gintoki stood up, and he gradually understood that in the conversation from just now to the present, Matsudaira's focus was never on asking him to clarify the question, or to answer the question itself.

All that really matters is a belief, a belief in clarifying your self-worth and not asking what is right and what is wrong.Matsudaira, Shinsengumi, and even Hijikata and Gintoki themselves need this firm and unwavering belief that runs through everyone's spirit and soul.

The belief in wanting to protect the one you love cannot be changed.

"Please let me take over the mission of Shinsengumi."

The moment Gintoki bent down at ninety degrees, Matsudaira's raised chin met him, squinting at Gintoki's arrogance.But Gintoki didn't miss the smile in the depths of Matsudaira's eyes, overflowing with gratification.

"Why?" Matsudaira asked back.

Yes, why?Yinshi asked himself.

"Why should I trust you? Sakata Gintoki."

Yinshi looked straight at Songping, and Songping could see the reflection of himself unable to stop smiling from his fiery red eyes.

"Because, I am Sakata Gintoki. I came from ordinary days, and eventually I want to go back to my ordinary life. But before that, I have people I must understand, I have people I must protect, and I There is a group of friends who are willing to go forward for the same belief. Even if they are bruised and bruised for the truth, they are unwilling to give up the value of their common beliefs, and they are unwilling to forget their accumulated past. "

Yinshi clenched his fists, and folded his back forcefully, as if it was a mission.

"Please give the Shinsengumi another chance to investigate."

Songping smoked a few more puffs, but didn't say anything.When he looked at Yin, he secretly sighed.

Maybe this is the brother, Matsudaira thought.Just as he once found Ginba's figure in Ginba, he also found Ginba's aura in Ginba.But he couldn't help himself not to wonder what the future of the brothers would be like, so Matsudaira indulged himself once and agreed to Yinshi's request.

And after Gintoki bid farewell to Matsudaira and before stepping into Shinsengumi's office, he repented and turned into the toilet, secretly despising his evasive mentality in his heart.Gintoki rested his hands on the marble sink, thinking about something he didn't know how to say to everyone, but he just felt that it didn't feel right to rush in and tell everyone "Shisengumi can continue working!".

"Danna, you secretly cleared the gun here by yourself? It's so disgusting that it's comparable to Hijikata-san."

The person who would be called Gintoki like this was always only his bad friend Sougo Okita, whom he had known in college. His venomous tongue can be regarded as a way of greeting, so don't pay too much attention to it.

"Clear the gun in front of the mirror? Hey, Ah Yin, I'm an invincible coward."

"Yeah, yeah, I was so timid that I was summoned by Uncle Matsudaira."

"Did you see it?"

"No, random guessing." Sougo said nonchalantly, "But at this moment, even though they swiped their cards to enter the investigation office building, but they haven't entered the Shinsengumi's office after two hours, normal people don't really I think you fell into the toilet."

"Or did you hear it from Hijikata?"

"Sure enough, Dana. If my boss were you, I probably wouldn't have the urge to shoot Mr. Hijikata with a gun all day long."

"That's two different things, Soichirou-kun?" Gintoki lazily shot back, "I'm your boss, but you can still shoot Hijikata's head off, I don't mind."

"As expected of Dana, first-rate cold-blooded."

"Each to each other."

"I was expecting the second half of your sentence to be true." Sougo said suddenly, "Why don't you clean it up if you say it? Although when you talk about this, you will think that you will lose your job. It's strange."

Silver is silent.Sougo's words, in his eyes, seemed to be on the sidelines, arousing Yinshi's curiosity about the idea of ​​"trying to escape", and in this short silence, he sorted out and clarified the reasons for his thoughts.

Director Matsudaira later entrusted Yinshi in his own name to complete the investigation of Yinghong Securities.Yinshi also understands that although the mission is aimed at Yinghong Securities, he can read from it that the director wants to investigate the Hashida Group's attempt, and Yinshi also wants to know about Yinba in private, which is roughly the purpose of their next mission. Three key points.If it is necessary to plan and implement the details, the original team will brainstorm and redistribute the work. Based on the cooperation experience of the previous team, this part should not be a big problem.Now that the big words have been yelled at the director, and the real operation mode has a certain degree of control, then what are they afraid of?

"Dana?"

Sougo keenly sensed that Gintoki's condition was different, and lightly patted Gintoki's shoulder.He noticed that Yin Shi was trembling slightly, but he had never seen Yin Shi like this before.

"Danna," Sougo said, "Do you have something to say?"

"Yeah, I have something to say to everyone." Gintoki sighed softly.

After hearing this, Sougo suddenly burst out laughing.

"Dana, you've changed."

"Really?" Yin Shi said, "That's right, speaking to scare others, according to my personality, I don't need to be so entangled."

"Anyway, I'm going back to the office to collect my things. Are you going to come back with Dana?"

Gintoki squeezed his palms and nodded towards Sougo.

From childhood to adulthood, Yinshi has always been a confident person. He is seldom afraid of going on stage. If he has something he likes, he will pursue it seriously and go bravely. Anyway, if he falls and fails, he can gain supreme energy with a big smile.However, this time was different, Yinshi figured it out, what he was afraid of from the beginning to the end was not failure, but predictable success.

Although it is not easy to complete the investigation of the potential illegal cases between Yinghong Securities and Hashida Group, there seems to be nothing to be afraid of with partners.Then there is only one possibility left, all those things about Sakata Ginpachi, in his heart, it is no different from forcing the activation of the defense mechanism, while recalling all the things that person has done, and on the other hand, his curiosity cannot be suppressed.Knowing about Ginpachi is only an objective goal, but the significance behind this to him or Hijikata's representative is beyond Gintoki's imagination.Yin Shi even wanted to quit before the battle, as long as he wanted to, he could be like before at any time, as long as he was careless about many important things, he didn't need to be serious.

After stepping into the office door, Yinshi found this familiar place for the first time, which made him feel uncomfortable.

"Why are you in a daze?" Hijikata looked at him quietly and said, "Go and clean up quickly, don't miss anything."

"I have something to tell everyone."

God knows, it will take more time and courage to say this than to speak big to Director Matsudaira.After all, this is not someone else, but the closest partners around me.

"I have proposed to Director Matsudaira that I will take over the investigation of Yinghong Securities in my own name." Gintoki let go of the volume and said, "I don't want everyone's efforts to go to waste."

Gintoki was hot from all eyes.

"But I still lack manpower to complete this task, so I need your help."

"Would you like to join me?"

There were no voices of conversation one after another, and the expressions on everyone's faces had already given the answer when Yinshi finished saying that sentence.

"What, Gin-chan, what is this stranger-like politeness?" Kagura said with a smile, "It's just as if we are playing together again, isn't it great?"

"So you wanted to say this, Dana. I don't understand how it took you so long to say something that won't be rejected at all."

"That's right, Gintoki-san," Shinpachi said, "isn't it great to be able to continue working together again?"

Everyone laughed, and Yinshi laughed too.After saying the words, I felt much better, and the restlessness in my chest was relieved a lot.At this time, when Tufang walked towards Yin, he hadn't said anything yet.Yinshi looked back at Hijikata, and then looked at those beautiful blue eyes carefully, and his heart skipped another beat.

"Thank you, Silver Toki."

For Gintoki, Hijikata is actually enough.That sentence is so simple that people can easily mistake it for a hypocritical politeness, but the trust contained in it is self-evident, and it is a tacit understanding exclusive to them.

Facing the task, Gintoki has a whole group of team members to face it together; he can solve the mystery of Ginpachi together with Hijikata.Yes, then what does he need to be afraid of?

The feeling of fear is gone for now.
