"Yesterday, I went back and thought about it carefully. I felt that the previous strategy was deliberate, so I re-drafted it as a new proposal." Kagura said, "If our goal is to observe "insider trading", private meetings are better than official occasions. Or the reception should be easier to project the message we want?"

She paused, and when she habitually looked at Hijikata and Gin, the two made a "please" gesture, and Kagura stepped forward to erase a block on the whiteboard before continuing.

"The first layer of our goal is to create an atmosphere, let Target first receive our hints, and project all the people he often contacts in his mind, and then we can act and talk to those projected characters, collect some information, and let Target Bring this hint together into the second layer of dreams.” Kagura said, “We can hand over the information collected on the first layer to Hijikata, and after entering the second layer, let Hijikata directly communicate with President Hayato Nishino as the general manager. Discussion and answer guidance, end the mission within two floors."

"You're so smart this time, China." Sougo teased, "You actually remembered that President Nishino fired General Manager Ippei Oshima before, and you used it well. It deserves a commendation."

"Fired?" Gintoki asked.

"It happened a few months ago, before you joined the Shinsengumi." Hijikata said, "The falling out between General Manager Ippei Oshima and President Hayato Nishino is quite recent. It is said that it was due to a dispute over interests, but the specific reason has not yet been revealed. People know."

"And Yinghong Securities, just found a business manager with not too deep qualifications, Soichiro Goto as the general manager." Shinba said.

"Then what... are they related?"

"Whether it's a relationship or not, we can only infer that President Nishino seems to be a complete control freak, so he also found a subordinate who is willing to be obedient and obedient, so that he can do whatever he wants."

The voice does not belong to anyone in the conference room.Everyone raised their heads and looked at the door. Shimura's neat figure was leaning against the door, with his hands folded and a meaningful smile.

"I don't think President Nishino has the right to mess up the company, Miao-san." Gintoki said, "After all, they are part of the Hashida Group."

"I didn't say that President Nishino is 'just' a control freak, Gintoki-kun." Shimura Tae's smile became even brighter, "Look at President Nishino, who is only forty years old this year, there is no guarantee that he is not under the control of the Hashida family. Where's one of the puppets?"

"Sister Miao, you should hurry up and solve the problem of coming here first." Hijikata was a little impatient.

"I'm really sorry, Vice President. Forgive me for finally getting out of the orangutan's grip for a while. It's okay if I let me chat for a while, isn't it?" Shimura Tae said, "But I have a comparison here. It’s more interesting to discuss mission execution guidelines.”

Shimura Meu elegantly pulled a chair and sat down, took out the portable folder from the bag, handed over a fully sealed envelope, and pushed it in front of Gintoki.

"It looks like an invitation letter, so open it and look at it yourself." Shimura Tae said, "Oh yes, Hijikata-kun also has one."

The earthworker picked it up and looked left and right. There were no suspicious writing or institutions on it, it was just an ordinary invitation letter.

"Hashida Shengji?" Gintoki waved the invitation letter in his hand, and then asked, "Sister Miao, who sent this, do you know?"

"If you know, I don't have to beat around the bush and ask you to guess it yourself, Gintoki-kun." Shimura Miu spread his hands, "Although the name is Hashida Biotech held a dream science presentation, and invited all walks of life to participate in the grand event. I don't know yet The Hashida Group understands how much they are in, but it is really bold to invite the Shinsengumi who once held some of their technology to attend the exchange meeting."

"In order to wipe out all the people from the Shinsengumi?" Kagura asked Shimura Tae.

"I don't think so, but that should be the reason to convince the Hashida Group to let us participate." Gintoki said.

"To persuade the Hashida Group?" Sougo wondered, "Who is the subject of this persuasion?"

"Maybe this is the answer we're looking for?"

Hijikata stood up, walked to the whiteboard that Kagura had drawn just now, and stared at it for a while.

"...Maybe, maybe someone is helping us fight for this hour in secret." Yinshi pursed his lips subconsciously.

"However, it seems that we already have a full hour available." Sougo interjected, "Maybe first assess how this hour will be carried out, in order to minimize the risk."

"Then it's your business up to this point? Don't bother everyone working hard."

Shimura Miaoyi was as elegant as when he came, and he got up so calmly.She paused for a moment, and finally looked at Earthwork.

"However, I think it is necessary to report the recent situation of the orangutan to Mr. Vice President," Tae Shimura said with a smile, "Do you mind if I borrow a few minutes of Mr. Vice President's time?"

Shimura Tae glanced at Gintoki, who frowned slightly and said nothing.

"I'll take you downstairs, sister Miao." Hijikata finally suggested.

Hijikata wanted to call a taxi for Miao Shimura, but the other party declined.The reason is that public transportation is quite convenient, or in fact, it takes only five minutes to drive, and it doesn’t take much time to walk, even a walk is fine.Shimura Tae didn't actually say anything before reaching the gate, but both of them knew that Hijikata was waiting for her to speak.

"Sister Miao, I'll send it here." Hijikata said, "It's not convenient for you to talk about Brother Kondo now, so you can talk about it another day."

Shimura Meu was reluctant to speak, after all, Hijikata knew how eloquent she was.But in the end she still spoke first.

"Kondo's PTSD... has worsened since you left."

"If possible, I can go back and see──"

"Don't go back... At least I'm saying that, I don't want you to go back and see him, Hijikata-kun." Shimura Tae said.

Hijikata looked at Shimura Tae with a slightly puzzled expression, watching her take out something from her bag.Before handing it over to the earthworker, she drew it back again.

"Hijikata-kun, answer me a question first." Shimura Tae said, "How much do you know about Gintoki? How much do you think Gintoki knows about Sakata Ginpachi?"

Earthwork took a deep breath.He thought he could answer Shimura Tae's question properly, but in fact, when he thought about it carefully, Gintoki's mystery was no less than Ginpachi's.

"It's okay, I'm just asking, you don't need to answer in particular." Shimura Tae said, "One more question, how much do you know about yourself? How much do you know about your true thoughts?"

Now Hijikata didn't understand what Shimura Tae meant.

"Hijikata-kun, you and Sougo-kun have always believed that Kondo got PTSD because of the enemy's tricks, right?" Shimura Tae said calmly, "But in fact, it's not exactly that. Even, it was just a way to overwhelm the camel. The last straw was not strictly a cause."

"What's the meaning?"

"Persisting on the goal in front of you is the culprit who really strangled Kondo." Shimura Tae said, "The person Kondo didn't tell you about that mission was his former classmate and friend Mr. Serizawa. He really wanted to know why Serizawa was willing to do so." If you go astray, you must stick to Hashida, a place that is not worth nostalgia."

──"Heaven is jealous of talents, isn't it, Kondo? It turns out that a person like me is only worthy of saving a fool like you."

"Mr. Serizawa finally shot himself in front of Kondo, and it was too late to stop him." Shimura Takao's tone sounded even more understatement, "Because I don't know who to hate, and Serizawa's family members did not want Kondo to attend the funeral in the end, the reason is that Kondo is dead. No help."

This explains why Kondo's PTSD will never get better.Serizawa's death and the family's lack of understanding made Kondo lose all chances of redemption, at least that's how the doctor explained the cause.

"So Hichikata-kun, I'll ask you one last thing." Tae Shimura said, "If you insist on getting the truth from Ginpachi, what will you do?"

These questions were uttered from Shimura's wonderful mouth, but Hijikata did not ask her to give her an answer or explanation on the spot.The documents collected just now were handed over to the earthworker.

"If I'm right, then Gintoki needs you to understand him more deeply than you want to." Tae Shimura said, "He needs a stronger you as the backing of the entire Shinsengumi team."

"Sister Miao, but as you can see, I am the one trapped by Ginpachi." Hijikata smiled wryly, "No matter what the final outcome is, even if I try my best to complete my mission, my heart can't get rid of that man at all. "

"Do you know? In this regard, Gintoki's situation will not be better than yours." Shimura Tae said, "Because you didn't realize how much he wanted to become, or simply be, Sakata Ginpachi for you."

Earth's eyes widened.Sakata Gintoki wants to be Sakata Ginpachi?for him?What the hell are you talking about?

"Let me just give you some advice as a big sister or a friend on a whim." Shimura Tae said, "I should have told you many years ago, but today is a better time."

To be precise, Hijikata didn't listen to what Shimura Tae said.He thought to himself that in a class of general psychology many years ago, when Ginpachi said a certain sentence, the expression on his face was not angry, as if he gave an objective evaluation.Hijikata doesn't remember much about the context at that time, only that he couldn't feel the warmth of a person in Ginpachi at that time, but Hijikata seemed to be attracted by that danger uncontrollably.

──"Thoughts are like viruses, extremely resilient and contagious. Even a small seed can give your life meaning, or destroy you completely. 19"

Tufang still remembers seeing this sentence in two places. The first time was in the classroom full of chalk dust and scrawled letters all over the blackboard; the other was a post-it note stranded on the invisible desk. Hidden and inconspicuous.

The author has something to say: (19) Excerpted from the movie "Inception".The original text is as follows:Anideaislikeavirus,resilient,highlycontagious.Thesmallestseedofanideacangrow.Itcangrowtodefineordestroyyou.
